Loan owing to such Lender.
(b) All other amounts received by Agent on account of, or applied by Agent to
the payment of, any Obligation owed to Lenders (including, without limitation, fees payable
to
Lenders and proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the

Borrower has made such payment in full to Agent on such date and Agent in its sole discretion
may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an
amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower shall not have so
made such payment in full to Agent and Agent shall have distributed to any Lender all or any
portion of such amount, such Lender shall repay to Agent on demand the amount so distributed to
such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for each day from the date

all
material respects all records required to be maintained by any governmental agency or
authority
or otherwise under the Healthcare Laws and, to the knowledge of Borrower, there are no
presently existing circumstances which would result or likely would result in material

entity” within the meaning of HIPAA or (ii) Borrower or SSLMI (with respect to its
operation of
the Property) and/or their respective business and operations (with respect to the
Property) are
subject to or covered by the so-called “Administrative Simplification” provisions of HIPAA,

assessments) or
all areas of its business and operations required by HIPAA and/or that could adversely
affected
by the failure of such entity to be HIPAA Compliant (as defined below); (B) has developed
or
will develop in a timely manner a detailed plan and time line for becoming HIPAA Compliant
(a
“HIPAA Compliance Plan”); and (C) has implemented or will implement those provisions of
such HIPAA Compliance Plan in all material respects necessary to ensure that such entity is
or becomes HIPAA Compliant. For purposes hereof, “HIPAA Compliant” shall mean that
21
Borrower or SSLMI, as applicable (1) is or will be in compliance with each of the applicable
requirements of the so-called “Administrative Simplification” provisions of HIPAA on and as of each
date that any part thereof, or any final rule or regulation thereunder, becomes effective in
accordance with its or their terms, as the case may be (each such date, a “HIPAA Compliance Date”)
and (2) is not and could not reasonably be expected to become, as of any date following any such
HIPAA Compliance Date, the subject of any civil or criminal penalty, process, claim, action or
proceeding, or any administrative or other regulatory review, survey, process or proceeding, (other
than routine surveys or reviews conducted by any governmental health plan or other accreditation
entity) that could result in any of the foregoing or that could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect Borrower’s or SSLMI’s business, operations, assets, properties or condition (financial or
otherwise), in connection with any actual or potential violation by any such entity of the then
effective provisions of HIPAA.

ARTICLE X
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall, at the direction of the Requisite
Lenders, at any time thereafter exercise any one or more of the following rights, powers or
remedies.
Section 10.1 Acceleration.
Agent may declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable,
notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents to
the contrary, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or of dishonor, or other
notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby waives.
Section 10.2 Uniform Commercial Code.
Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable
Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws. Upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall assemble
the Collateral and make it available to Agent, at a place designated by Agent. Agent or its agents
may without notice from time to time enter upon Borrower’s premises to take
38
possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, to process it or otherwise
prepare it for sale, or to sell or otherwise dispose of it.
Any written notice of the sale, disposition or other intended action by Agent with respect to
the Collateral which is sent by regular mail, postage prepaid, to Borrower at the address set
forth in Section 12.1 (Notices), or such other address of Borrower which may from time to time be
shown on Agent’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale, disposition or other action,
shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. Agent may alternatively or
additionally give such notice in any other commercially reasonable manner. Nothing in this
Agreement shall require Agent to give any notice not required by applicable Laws.
If any consent, approval, or authorization of any state, municipal or other Governmental
Authority or of any other Person or of any Person having any interest therein, should be necessary
to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, Borrower agrees to execute all such
applications and other instruments, and to take all other action, as may be required in connection
with securing any such consent, approval or authorization.
Borrower recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the
Collateral consisting of Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable Federal and state Laws. Agent may,
therefore, in its discretion, take such steps as it may deem appropriate to comply with such Laws
and may, for example, at any sale of the Collateral consisting of securities restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention,
including, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons making such purchases represent and
agree to the satisfaction of Agent that they are purchasing such securities for their account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any thereof. Borrower covenants
and agrees to do or cause to be done promptly all such acts and things as Agent may request from
time to time and as may be necessary to offer and/or sell the securities or any part thereof in a
manner which is valid and binding and in conformance with all applicable Laws. Upon any such sale
or disposition, Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof
the Collateral consisting of securities so sold.
Section 10.3 Specific Rights With Regard to Collateral.
In addition to all other rights and remedies provided hereunder or as shall exist at law or
in equity from time to time, Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to), without notice to
Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with power of
substitution, in the name of Agent and/or any or all of Lenders and/or in the name of Borrower or
otherwise, for the use and benefit of Agent and Lenders, but at the cost and expense of Borrower
and without notice to Borrower:
(a) assign any and all Operating Agreements and Management Contracts to any
Person designated by Agent, and/or exercise all rights and privileges of Borrower
under such contracts and agreements for the purpose of realizing on the Collateral
and to the extent and for the time required to realize the value of the Collateral;
39
(b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, assume
such management, operation and control of the Property to the extent and for the
time necessary to realize the value of the Collateral;
(c) cause Borrower to engage, contract with, and/or
hire qualified service, billing, collection and other such agents, organizations and
companies acceptable to Agent to collect and/or realize upon any or all of the
Collateral and to remit the proceeds to Agent;
(d) subject to applicable state and federal laws
pertaining to resident confidentiality, request any Account Debtor obligated on
any of the Accounts to make payments thereon directly to Agent to the extent
permitted by applicable law, with Agent taking control of the cash and non-cash
proceeds thereof and/or direct Borrower to (and Borrower shall) turn over to
Agent immediately following receipt all payments with respect to the Collateral in
the form received (with the addition of all necessary endorsements) and not to
deposit, negotiate or otherwise deal with those payments;
(e) compromise, extend or renew any of the Collateral
or deal with the same as it may deem advisable;
(f) make exchanges, substitutions or surrenders of all
or any part of the Collateral;
(g) remove from Borrower’s places of business all
books, records, ledger sheets, correspondence, invoices and documents, relating to
or evidencing any of the Collateral or without cost or expense to Agent, make
such use of Borrower’s place of business as may be reasonably necessary to
administer, control and collect the Collateral;
(h) demand, collect, receipt for and give renewals, extensions, discharges and releases of
any of the Collateral;
(i) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or
realize upon, any of the Collateral;
(j) settle, renew, extend, compromise, compound, exchange or adjust claims in respect of any
of the Collateral or any legal proceedings brought in respect thereof;
(k) endorse the name of Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or on
any Proof of Claim in Bankruptcy against an Account Debtor; and
(l) notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to
Borrower to such address or Post Office Box as Agent may designate and receive and open all mail
addressed to Borrower.
40
In addition, Borrower shall, following an Event of Default which remains uncured beyond any
applicable grace period, promptly, upon request, execute and deliver to Agent written assignments,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, in form and content acceptable to Agent, of specific
Accounts or groups of Accounts; provided, however, that the lien and/or security interest granted
to Agent under this Agreement shall not be limited in any way to or by the inclusion or exclusion
of Accounts within such assignments. Such Accounts shall secure payment of the Obligations and are
not sold to Agent whether or not any assignment thereof, which is separate from this Agreement, is
in form absolute.
Without limiting Agent’s other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, following
Borrower’s failure to make any payment due under the Loan Documents, which failure continues for
more than sixty (60) days or the occurrence of any event which causes the District of Columbia to
require the Facility to close or to cease operations as an assisted living facility, Agent may
also direct Borrower to appoint a manager for the Facility and enter into a management agreement
with a management company approved by Agent, the terms of which agreement shall be approved by
Agent.
Section 10.4 Application of Proceeds.
Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by Agent to the
payment first of any and all Agent’s Obligations, then to any and all Enforcement Costs, and any
balance of such proceeds will be remitted to Lenders in like currency and funds received ratably
in accordance with their respective Term Loan Pro Rata Shares of such balance. Each Lender shall
apply any such proceeds received from Agent to its Obligations in such order and manner as such
Lender shall determine. If the sale or other disposition of the Collateral fails to fully satisfy
the Obligations, Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for any deficiency.
Section 10.5 Performance by Agent.
Agent without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any of the
Obligations or any Default or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any
time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of
Borrower, and may enter upon the premises of Borrower for that purpose and take all such action
thereon as Agent may consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose and Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints Agent as its
attorney-in-fact
to do so, with power of substitution, in the name of Agent, in the name of any or all of
Lenders, or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Agent, but at the
cost and expense of Borrower and without notice to Borrower. All sums so paid or advanced by Agent
together with interest thereon from the date of payment, advance or incurring until paid in full
at the Post-Default Rate and all costs and expenses, shall be deemed part of the Enforcement
Costs, shall be paid by Borrower to Agent on demand, and shall constitute and become a part of
Agent’s Obligations.
Section 10.6 Other Remedies.
Agent may from time to time proceed to protect or enforce the rights of Agent and/or any of
Lenders by an action or actions at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding,
whether for the specific performance of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in any
of the other Financing Documents, or for an injunction against the violation of any of the terms
of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, or in aid of the exercise or
41
execution of any right, remedy or power granted in this Agreement, the Financing Documents, and/or
applicable Laws. Agent and each of Lenders is authorized to offset and apply to all or any part of
the Obligations all moneys, credits and other property of any nature whatsoever of Borrower now or
at any time hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or from, under the control or custody of,
or on deposit with, Agent, any of Lenders or any Affiliate of Agent or any of Lenders.
Section 10.7 Receiver or Other Court Order.
Following an uncured Event of Default, as a matter of right, following ten (10) days notice
and without regard to the adequacy of the security, and upon application to a court of competent
jurisdiction, Agent shall be entitled to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any
part of the Collateral, and of the payments and proceeds thereof and therefrom, whether such
receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise, and Borrower hereby
consents to the appointment of such a receiver and to an order of court directing that payments,
including Medicare and Medicaid payments, be made directly to the receiver. Borrower will pay to
Agent, upon demand, all expenses, including reasonable receiver’s fees, reasonable attorney’s
fees, costs and agents compensation, advanced by Borrower and incurred pursuant to the provisions
contained in this Section.

the Financing Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action
or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the

such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express
conditions contained in this ARTICLE XI. The provisions of this ARTICLE XI are solely for the
benefit of Agent and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any Person shall have any rights as a third

trust with or for Lenders, Borrower or any Person. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder,
or under the Financing Documents, by or through its agents or employees.
Section 11.2 Nature of
Duties.
11.2.1 In General
Agent shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities except those expressly set forth
in this Agreement or in the Financing Documents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of
the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the extension of credit
hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the credit worthiness of Borrower, and
42
Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its
possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter. If Agent seeks the consent
or approval of any of Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking of any action hereunder, then
Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time
that the applicable percentage of Lenders has instructed Agent to act or refrain from acting
pursuant hereto.
11.2.2 Express Authorization
Agent is hereby expressly and irrevocably authorized by each of Lenders, as agent on behalf of

payment or collection on account of the Obligations and to distribute to each
Lender its Term Loan Pro Rata Share of all such payments and collections so
received as provided in this Agreement;

in the other Financing Documents with respect to those matters so designated for
Agent;

Section 11.3 Rights, Exculpation, Etc.
Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable
to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the
Financing Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that Agent shall be
obligated on the terms set forth herein for performance of its express obligations
hereunder, and except that Agent shall be liable with respect to its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of
payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is
subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom
payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in
excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders
hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). Agent
shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, collectible, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Financing
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any
Person. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the
Financing Documents or the financial condition of any Person, or the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions
from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement
or of any of the Financing Documents Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and
Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any
approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from
any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall
have received such instructions from the applicable percentage of Lenders. Without limiting
the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result
of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Documents in accordance with the instructions of the applicable percentage of Lenders and
notwithstanding the instructions of Lenders, Agent shall have no obligation to take any
action if it, in good faith believes that such action exposes Agent to any liability.
Section 11.4 Reliance.
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates,
orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any
writing, telex,
44
telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this
Agreement or any of the Financing Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of
counsel selected by it. Agent may deem and treat the original Lenders as the owners of the
respective Notes for all purposes until receipt by Agent of a written notice of assignment,
negotiation or transfer of any interest therein by Lenders in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Any interest, authority or consent of any holder of any of the Notes shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, or assignee of such Notes. Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other
experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion.
Section 11.5 Indemnification.
Each Lender, severally, agrees to reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses,
advances or disbursements including, without limitation, Enforcement Costs, of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted
by Agent under this Agreement for any of the Financing Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s
Term Loan Pro Rata Share, all of the foregoing as they may arise, be asserted or be imposed from
time to time; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses,
advances or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
obligations of Lenders under this Section 11.5 shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Agent, after
having received any such reimbursement from any or all of Lenders, shall later recover, from a
source other than a Lender, all or any portion of the amount reimbursed, Agent shall share such
recovery with the reimbursing Lenders in proportion to their contribution to such reimbursement.
Section 11.6 Chevy Chase Individually.
With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, and the Note issued to it, Chevy
Chase shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same
obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms
“Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise
indicates, include Chevy Chase in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite
Lenders. Chevy Chase and its Affiliates may lend money to, accept deposits from and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower, or
any other Person or any of their officers, directors and employees as if Chevy Chase were not
acting as Agent pursuant hereto and Agent may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower,
any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their officers, directors and employees for services in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for or share the same with
Lenders.
45
Section 11.7 Successor Agent.
11.7.1 Resignation.
Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties
hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to
Borrower and Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor
Agent of appointment pursuant to Section 11.7.2 (Appointment of Successor) or as otherwise
provided below.
11.7.2 Appointment of Successor.
Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to Section 11.7.1 (Resignation), the Requisite
Lenders shall appoint a successor to Agent. If a successor to Agent shall not have been so
appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, Agent retiring, upon notice to Borrower,
shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, as the Requisite
Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
11.7.3 Successor Agent.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Financing Documents by a successor
Agent, such successor to Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of Agent retiring, and Agent retiring shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under the Financing Documents. After any Agent’s resignation as Agent under
the Financing Documents, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Financing Documents.
Section 11.8 Collateral Matters.
11.8.1 Release of Collateral.
Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release
any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any property covered by this Agreement or the Financing
Documents:
(a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment
and satisfaction of all Obligations;
(b) constituting property being sold or disposed of if
Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent may rely in good faith
conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry);
(c) constituting property leased to Borrower under a
lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this
Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by
Borrower to be, renewed or extended; or
(d) constituting property covered by Permitted Liens
with lien priority superior to those Liens in favor or for the benefit of
Lenders.
46
11.8.2 Confirmation of Authority, Execution of Releases.
Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further
authorization or consent by Lenders as set forth in Section 11.8.1 (Release of Collateral), each
Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Borrower, the authority to release any
property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents conferred upon Agent under Section
11.8.1 (Release of Collateral). So long as no Event of Default is then continuing, upon receipt by
Agent of confirmation from the requisite percentage of Lenders, of its authority to release any
particular item or types of property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents, and upon
at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby
irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the
release of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon
such Collateral; provided, however, that (a) Agent shall not be required to execute any
such document on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any
obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or
warranty, and (b) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations
or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Person, in respect of), all interests retained by any
Person, including, without limitation, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to
constitute part of the property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents.
11.8.3 Absence of Duty.
Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, Borrower or any other Person to
assure that the property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents exists or is owned
by Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted
to Agent on behalf of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or
to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity,
or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent
in this Section 11.8.3 or in any of the Financing Documents, it being understood and agreed that
in respect of the property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents or any act,
omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its

Documents as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of
the other Lenders.

In the event Agent requests the consent of a Lender and does not receive a written denial
thereof, or a written notice from a Lender that due course consideration of the request requires

Section 12.2 Amendments; Waivers.
12.2.1 In General.
This Agreement and the other Financing Documents may not be amended, modified, or changed
in any respect except by an agreement in writing signed by Agent, the Requisite Lenders and
Borrower, and, to the extent provided in Section 12.2.2 (Circumstances Where Consent of all of
Lenders is Required), by an agreement in writing signed by Agent, all of Lenders and Borrower.
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, nor
consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders. No course of dealing between Borrower and
Agent and/or any of Lenders and no act or failure to act from time to time on the part of Agent
and/or any of Lenders shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of
this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents or any right or remedy under this
Agreement, under any of the other Financing Documents or under applicable Laws. Without
implying any limitation on the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 12.2.2
(Circumstances Where Consent of all of Lenders is Required):
(a) Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance, for the terms and purpose for which given, subject to such
conditions as Agent and Lenders may specify in any such instrument.
(b) No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right
consequent thereto.
49
(c) No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall
entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or
other circumstance.
(d) No failure or delay by Lenders to insist upon the strict
performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement of this Agreement or
of any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power or
remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver, amendment
or modification of any such term, condition, covenant or agreement or of any such
breach or preclude Lenders from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any
time or times.
(e) By accepting payment after the due date of any amount
payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents,
Lenders shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment
when due of all other amounts payable under this Agreement or under any of the
other Financing Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect such
prompt payment of any such other amount.
12.2.2 Circumstances Where Consent of all of Lenders is Required.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amendment, modification, change
or waiver shall be effective without the consent of all of Lenders to:
(a) extend the maturity of the principal of, or interest on, any
Note or of any of the other Obligations;
(b) reduce the principal amount of any Note or of any of the
other Obligations, the rate of interest thereon or the fees due to Lenders,
except as
expressly permitted therein;
(c) change the aggregate Commitments;
(d) change the date of payment of principal of, or interest on,
any Note or of any of the other Obligations;
(e) change the method of calculation utilized in connection
with the computation of interest and fees;
(f) change the manner of pro rata application by Agent of
payments made by Borrower, or any other payments required hereunder or under
the other Financing Documents;
(g) modify this Section, Section 11.8.1 (Release of Collateral),
Section 11.12 (Dissemination of Information), or the definition of “Requisite
Lenders”;
50
(h) release or agree to subordinate any material portion of any Collateral or
Financing Document (except to the extent provided herein or therein); or
(i) waive the performance, observance or compliance with or amend Section 7.29
(Debt Service Ratio) or Section 7.30 (Occupancy Covenant).
Additionally, no change may be made to the amount of a Leader’s Commitment or to
Lender’s percentage of all Commitments without the prior written consent of that Lender.
Section 12.3 Cumulative Remedies.
The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the other Financing
Documents are cumulative, may be exercised concurrently or separately, may be exercised from time
to time and in such order as Agent shall determine, subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers and remedies provided by existing or
future applicable Laws. In order to entitle Agent to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this
Agreement, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be
expressly required in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject
to the terms of this Agreement, Agent may:
(a) proceed against Borrower with or without proceeding
against any other Person (including, without limitation, any one or more of the
Guarantors) who may be liable (by endorsement, guaranty, indemnity or
otherwise) for all or any part of the Obligations;
(b) proceed against Borrower with or without proceeding under
any of the other Financing Documents or against any Collateral or other collateral
and security for all or any part of the Obligations;
(c) without reducing or impairing the obligation of Borrower
and without notice, release or compromise with any guarantor or other Person
liable for all or any part of the Obligations under the Financing Documents or
otherwise;
(e) without reducing or impairing the obligations of Borrower and without
notice thereof:
(i) fail to perfect the Lien in any or all Collateral or to release
any or all the Collateral or to accept substitute Collateral;
(ii) approve the making of advances under the Revolving
Loan under this Agreement;
(iii) waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Financing
Documents;
51
(iv) exercise or fail to exercise rights of set-off or other rights;
or
(v) accept partial payments or extend from time to time the maturity
of all or any part of the Obligations.
Section 12.4 Severability.
In case one or more provisions, or part thereof,
contained in this Agreement or in the
other Financing Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Law,
then without need for any further agreement, notice or action:
(a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto and shall not
be affected or impaired thereby;
(b) the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of
such validity;
(c) if such provision or part thereof pertains to repayment of
the Obligations, then, at the sole and absolute discretion of Agent, all of the
Obligations of Borrower to Agent and Lenders shall become immediately due and
payable; and
(d) if the affected provision or part thereof does not pertain to
repayment of the Obligations, but operates or would prospectively operate to
invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such provision or part thereof
only shall be void, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative
and in full force and effect.
Section 12.5 Assignments by Lenders.
Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), but without notice to or consent of Borrower, assign to any Person (each
an “Assignee” and collectively, the “Assignees”) all or a portion of such Lender’s Commitments;
provided that, unless such Lender has assigned all of its Commitments, after giving effect to such
assignment, such Lender must continue to hold a Pro Rata Share of the Commitments at least equal
to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Any Lender that elects to make such an assignment shall pay
to Agent, for the exclusive benefit of Agent, an administrative fee for processing each such
assignment in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00). Such Lender and its
Assignee shall notify Agent and Borrower in writing of the date on which the assignment is to be
effective (the “Adjustment Date”). On or before the Adjustment Date, the assigning Lender, Agent,
Borrower and the respective Assignee shall execute and deliver a written assignment agreement in a
form acceptable to Agent, which shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement to the extent
necessary to reflect such assignment. Upon the request of any assigning Lender following an
assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.5, Borrower shall issue new Notes to the
assigning Lender and its Assignee reflecting such assignment, in exchange for the existing Notes
held by the assigning Lender. Agent will
52
continue to hold at least a fifty-one percent (51%) Pro Rata Share of the Commitments and at no
time shall there be more than three (3) Lenders including Agent and MB Financial Bank, N.A..
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may at any time pledge all or any
portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement, any of the Commitments or any of the
Obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.
Section 12.6 Participations by Lenders.
Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more
financial institutions participating interests in any of such Lender’s Obligations or Commitments;
provided, however, that (a) no such participation shall relieve such Lender from its obligations
under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, (b)
such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement and under all of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, and (c) Borrower,
Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing
Documents.
Section 12.7 Disclosure of Information by Lenders.
In connection with any sale, transfer, assignment or participation by any Lender in
accordance with Section 12.5 (Assignments by Lenders) or Section 12.6 (Participations by Lenders),
each Lender shall have the right to disclose to any actual or potential purchaser, assignee,
transferee or participant all financial records, information, reports, financial statements and
documents obtained in connection with this Agreement and/or any of the other Financing Documents
or otherwise.
Section 12.8 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement and all other Financing Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Borrower, Agent and Lenders and their respective heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns, except that Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Agent and the Requisite
Lenders of Lenders.
Section 12.9 Continuing Agreements.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in this Agreement,
in any of the other Financing Documents, and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto shall survive the making by Lenders of the Loans and the execution and delivery of the
Notes, shall be binding upon Borrower regardless of how long before or after the date hereof any
of the Obligations were or are incurred, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as
any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid. From time to time upon Agent’s request, and as
a condition of the release of any one or more of the Security Documents, Borrower and other
Persons obligated with respect to the Obligations shall provide Agent with such acknowledgments
and agreements as Agent may require to the effect that there exists no defenses, rights of setoff
or recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever
against Agent, any or all of Lenders, and/or any of its or their agents and others, or to the
extent there are, the same are waived and released.
53
Section 12.10 Enforcement Costs.
Borrower agrees to pay to Agent on demand all Enforcement Costs, together with
interest thereon from the date incurred or advanced until paid in full at a per annum rate
of interest equal at all times to the Post-Default Rate. Enforcement Costs shall be
immediately due and payable at the time Borrower received notice that Enforcement Costs
have been advanced or incurred, whichever is earlier. Without implying any limitation on
the foregoing, Borrower agrees, as part
of the Enforcement Costs, to pay upon demand any and all stamp and other Taxes and fees
payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to save Agent and Lenders harmless from
and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying
or omission to pay any Taxes or fees referred to in this Section. The provisions of this
Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of the
other Obligations and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Applicable Law; Jurisdiction.
12.11.1 Applicable Law.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Financing Documents, including, this
Agreement, shall be governed by the Laws of the State, as if each of the Financing

solely within the State even though for the convenience and at the request of Borrower,
one or more of the Financing Documents may be executed elsewhere. Agent and Lenders
acknowledge, however, that remedies under certain of the Financing Documents that relate
to property outside the State may be subject to the laws of the state in which the

the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court
and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and may be
enforced in any court in which Borrower is subject to jurisdiction, by a suit upon such
judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon Borrower in one of the manners
specified in this Section or as otherwise permitted by applicable Laws.

and appoint without delay another such agent in the State satisfactory to Agent and shall
promptly deliver to

Agent evidence in writing of such other agent’s acceptance of such appointment and its agreement
that such appointment shall be irrevocable.

pursuant to Section 12.1 (Notices), and (b) serving a copy thereof upon Agent, if any, designated
and appointed by Borrower as Borrower’s agent for service of process by or pursuant to this
Section. Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service (y) shall be deemed in every respect
effective service of process upon Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (z) shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon
Borrower. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of Agent to serve process in any manner
otherwise permitted by law or limit the right of Agent otherwise to bring proceedings against
Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
Section 12.12 Duplicate Originals and Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or counterparts, each of
such duplicate originals or counterparts shall be deemed to be an original and all taken together
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 12.13 Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience only, shall not constitute
a part of this Agreement for any other purpose, and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or
construction of any of the provisions hereof.
Section 12.14 No Agency.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Borrower as agent of Agent or any of
Lenders for any purpose whatsoever or to permit Borrower to pledge any of the credit of Agent or
any of Lenders. Neither Agent nor any of Lenders shall be responsible or liable for any shortage,
discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be
located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any of Lenders shall, by anything
herein or in any of the Financing Documents or otherwise, assume any of Borrower’s obligations
under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent and/or Lenders, and neither Agent nor any of
Lenders shall be responsible in any way for the performance by Borrower of any of the terms and
conditions thereof.
Section 12.15 Date of Payment.
Should the principal of or interest on the Notes become due and payable on other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and in
the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate per annum specified in the
Notes during such extension.
55
Section 12.16 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement is intended by Agent, Lenders and Borrower to be a complete, exclusive and
final expression of the agreements contained herein. Neither Agent, Lenders nor Borrower shall
hereafter have any rights under any prior agreements pertaining to the matters addressed by this
Agreement but shall look solely to this Agreement for definition and determination of all of their
respective rights, liabilities and responsibilities under this Agreement.
Section 12.17 Waiver of Trial by Jury.
BORROWER, AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR

negligence, mistake, act or omission of any accountant, examiner, agency or attorney employed by

interest in the Collateral or other security for the Obligations.
By inspecting the Collateral or any other properties of Borrower or by accepting or approving
anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Borrower or to be given to Agent
and/or any of Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, neither
Agent nor any of Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the condition,
sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, and such acceptance or approval
shall not constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Agent and/or Lenders.
Section 12.19 Indemnification.

Indemnified Party. Any amount payable to Agent and/or Lenders under this Section will bear interest
at the Post- Default Rate from the due date until paid.

confidential information, documents, applications and reports) may be transmitted electronically,

hereinafter provided, in accordance with the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the
following:
1. Interest.
Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due
hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating rate based on an
independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates for one-month dollar deposits in
the London Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 175 basis
points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”) which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements
imposed upon the Lender from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the
lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable
during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to
the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value
of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each
month. All interest payable under the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a
365-day year. The LIBOR Rate shall be in effect for a period of the number of days indicated (each
a “LIBOR Period”), in any case extended to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined in the
Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith) when necessary, beginning on the date hereof or
the expiration date of the then-current LIBOR Period.
2. Payments and Maturity.
The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates provided above,

including , ___, principal
shall be due and payable in equal monthly payments of $ , plus all accrued and
unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance; and
60
(c) Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest accrued and
unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on August 28, 2009.
3. Default Interest.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) the unpaid Principal Sum
shall bear interest thereafter until such Event of Default is cured at the Post Default Rate (as
defined in the Loan Agreement).
4. Late Charges.
In the event that any payment due under the terms of this Note is not received by the Lender
within fifteen (15) days of the date such payment is due (inclusive of the date when due), the
Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such
payment.
5. Application and Place of Payments.
All payments made on account of this Note, including prepayments, shall be applied first to
the payment of any prepayment fee due hereunder, second to any late charge then due hereunder,
third to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any,
shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Sum, with application first made to all principal
installments then due hereunder, next to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity and
thereafter to the unpaid principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. All payments on
account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds during regular business hours of the Lender at its principal office in Chevy

time designate in writing to the Borrower.

time or from time to time, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Lender, without
premium or penalty.

Corporation, 0000 Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, as the Borrower’s
authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on the Borrower’s behalf service of any and all

Borrower’s agent for service of process. The Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service
shall
be deemed to be service of process upon the Borrower in any such suit, action, or proceeding.

otherwise
permitted by law and nothing in this Note will limit the right of the Lender otherwise to
bring
proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

been properly given or made when delivered in accordance with Section 9.3 of the Deed of Trust.
15. Miscellaneous.
Each right, power, and remedy of the Lender as provided for in this Note or any of the other
Financing Documents, or now or hereafter existing under any applicable law or otherwise shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided
for in this Note or any of the other Financing Documents or now or hereafter existing under any
applicable law, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Lender of any one or more of
such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the
Lender of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. No failure or delay by the Lender to
insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Note or
any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a
breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or
of any such breach, or preclude the Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at a
later time or times. By accepting payment after the due
63
date of any amount payable under the terms of this Note, the Lender shall not be deemed to waive
the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under the terms of
this Note or to declare an Event of Default for the failure to effect such prompt payment of any
such other amount. No course of dealing or conduct shall be effective to amend, modify, waive,
release, or change any provisions of this Note.
16. Partial Invalidity.
In the event any provision of this Note (or any part of any provision) is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the
affected provision) of this Note; but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had not been contained in this Note, but only to the
extent it is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.
17. Captions.
The captions herein set forth are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to define,

the Borrower and the Lender may be parties, arising out of or in any way pertaining to (a) this
Note, (b) the other Financing Documents or (c) the Property. It is agreed and understood that this
waiver constitutes a waiver of trial by jury of all claims against all parties to such actions or
proceedings, including claims against parties who are not parties to this Note. This waiver is
knowingly, willingly and voluntarily made by the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby represents that
no representations of fact or opinion have been made by any individual to induce this waiver of
trial by jury or to in any way modify or nullify its effect. The Borrower further represents that
it has been represented in the signing of this Note and in the making of this waiver by
independent legal counsel, selected of its own free will, and that it has had the opportunity to
discuss this waiver with counsel.
