548.
11
3.23 Management
Agreement.
The
Management Agreement is in full force and effect, and there are no defaults
(either monetarily or non-monetarily) by Manager or Borrower
thereunder.
3.24 Other
Indebtedness.
Borrower has no outstanding Indebtedness, secured or unsecured, direct or
contingent (including any guaranties), other than (a) the Loan, and (b)
indebtedness which represents trade payables or accrued expenses incurred in
the
ordinary course of business of owning and operating the Mortgaged Property;
no
other debt incurred by Borrower after the date hereof will be secured (senior,
subordinate or pari
passu)
by the
Mortgaged Property.
3.25 Other
Obligations.
Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower
is a party or by which Borrower or the Mortgaged Property is otherwise bound,
other than obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of
the
Mortgaged Property and other than obligations under the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents.
3.26 Fraudulent
Conveyances.
Borrower (a) has not entered into this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor
and
(b) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its
obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets
exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the
maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become
absolute and mature. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably
small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be
conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will,
incur
debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities
and
other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of
obligations of Borrower).
3.27 No
Change in Facts or Circumstances.
All
information in any application for the Loan submitted to Lender (the “Loan
Application”) and in all financial statements, rent rolls, reports, certificates
and other documents submitted in connection with the Loan Application are
complete and accurate in all material respects. There has been no material
adverse change in any fact or circumstance that would make any such information
incomplete or inaccurate.
3.28 Fraud
and Abuse.
(a) Anti-Kickback
Law.
After
consultation with counsel concerning the federal anti-kickback law (42 U.S.C.A.
SEC. 1320a-7b(b)), neither Borrower nor its agent have offered or given any
remuneration or thing of value to any person to encourage referral to the
facility nor has Borrower or its agent solicited or received any remuneration
or
thing of value in exchange for Borrower’s agreement to make referrals or to
purchase goods or services for the Facility.
12
(b) Relationships.
No
physician or other healthcare practitioner has an ownership interest in, or
financial relationship with, the Borrower, Manager or the Facility.
(c) Required
Adjustments.
All cost
report periods for all Facility payors have been closed and settled, and all
required adjustments have been fully paid and/or implemented.
3.29 No
Illegal Activity as Source of Funds.
No
portion of the Mortgaged Property has been or will be purchased, improved,
equipped or furnished with proceeds of any illegal activity.
3.30 Compliance
with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo, Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering
Laws.
Borrower, and to the best of Borrower's knowledge, after having made diligent
inquiry, (a) each Person owning an interest of 20% or more in a Borrower and
in
the Single Purpose Entity that is the managing member of Borrower, (b)
Guarantor, (c) Manager, and (d) each tenant at the Property: (i) is not
currently identified on OFAC List, and (ii) is not a Person with whom a citizen
of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade
embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of United States law,
regulation, or Executive Order of the President of the United States. Borrower
has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures
throughout the term of the Loan, to ensure the foregoing representations and
warranties remain true and correct during the term of the Loan.
3.31 Compliance
Program.
To the
extent required, Borrower has adopted and is adhering to a compliance program
meeting the guidelines published by the Office of the Inspector General on
March
16, 2000, at 65 Fed. Reg. 14289.

Documents.
4.2 Maintenance
of Existence.
Maintain its existence as a limited liability company in good standing under
the

During
each fiscal year, make accurate provision for the payment in full of all current

Reimbursement Contracts), Taxes (as defined in the Mortgage), all required
withholding of income taxes of employees, all
13
required
old age and unemployment contributions, and all required payments to employee
benefit plans, and pay the same when they become due.
4.5 Insurance.
Maintain, at its expense, the following insurance coverages and policies with
respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Facility, which coverages and policies
must be acceptable to Lender’s insurance consultant in its sole
discretion:
(a) Comprehensive
“all risk” or “special” cause of loss insurance, including coverage for
windstorms and hail, in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost
of
the Facility, which replacement cost shall be determined by the “Insurable
Value” or “Cost Approach to Value” reflected in the most recent Lender approved
appraisal for the Facility, without deduction for depreciation. Such insurance
shall also include (i) agreed insurance amount endorsement waiving all
co-insurance provisions, and (ii) an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” endorsement if
the Facility or the use thereof shall constitute a legal non-conforming
structure or use.
(b) Commercial
general liability insurance against claims for sexual harassment abuse of
residents and/or patients, personal injury, bodily injury, death or property
damage, in or about the Facility to be on a so-called “occurrence” basis for at

a
$10,000,000.00 umbrella
coverage.
(c) Professional
liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury or death,
in or about the Facility to be on a so-called “occurrence” basis for at least
$1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate.

extended period of indemnity endorsement.
(e) Flood
Hazard insurance if any portion of the Improvements is located in a “flood zone
area,” as identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as a 100-year flood zone or “special flood hazard area” and in which
flood insurance is available. In lieu thereof, Lender will accept proof,
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion, that the Improvements are not within
the boundaries of a designated area.
(f) Workers’

applicable state statutory limits, and employer’s liability insurance with a
limit of $1,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee with respect
to
the Facility.
(g) Comprehensive
boiler and machinery insurance, including property damage coverage and time
element coverage in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost,
without deduction for depreciation, of the Facility housing the machinery,
if
steam boilers, pipes, turbines, engines or any other pressure vessels are in
operation with respect to the Facility. Such insurance coverage shall include
a
“joint loss” clause if such coverage is provided by an insurance carrier other
than that which provides the comprehensive “all risk” insurance described
above.
14
(h) During
the period of any construction and/or renovation of capital improvements with
respect to the Facility or any new construction at the Facility, builder’s risk
insurance for any improvements under construction and/or renovation, including,
without limitation, costs of demolition and increased cost of construction
or
renovation, in an amount equal the amount of the general contract plus the
value
of any existing purchase money financing for improvements and materials stored
on or off the Property, including “soft cost” coverage.
(i) If
the
Facility is located in a seismically active area or an area prone to geologic
instability and mine subsidence, Lender may require an inspection by a qualified
structural or geological engineer satisfactory to Lender, and at Borrower’s
expense. The Facility must be structurally and geologically sound and capable
of
withstanding normal seismic activity or geological movement. Lender reserves
the
right to require earthquake insurance or Maximum Probable Loss insurance on
a
case by case basis in amounts determined by Lender.
(j) Such
other insurance coverages as may be deemed necessary at any time during the
term
of the Loan and as shall be provided within such time periods as Lender may
determine, in each case, in its commercially reasonable discretion.
All
insurance policies shall have a term of not less than one year and shall be
in
the form and amount and with deductibles as, from time to time, shall be
acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion. All such policies shall provide
for
loss payable solely to Lender and shall contain a standard “non-contributory
mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, among other things, to
recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions
of
Borrower and notwithstanding (i) occupancy or use of the Facility for
purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the terms of such policy, (ii)
any foreclosure or other action taken by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default thereunder, or (iii) any change in title
or ownership of the Facility.
All
insurance policies must be written by an admitted carrier licensed in the State
in which the Facility is located and such insurance carrier must have a
long-term senior debt rating of at least “A” by Standard and Poor’s Rating
Service; provided, that if the initial principal balance of the Loan is in
excess of $25,000,000.00, such insurance carrier must have a long-term senior
debt rating of at least “AA” by Standard & Poor’s Rating
Service.
All
liability insurance policies (including, but not limited to, general liability,
professional liability and any applicable blanket and/or umbrella policies)
must
name Capmark Bank and its successors and/or assigns” as additional insureds, and
all property insurance policies must name Capmark Bank and its successors and/or
assigns” as the named mortgage holder entitled to all insurance proceeds. Lender
shall have the right, without Borrower’s consent, by notice to the insurance
company, to change the additional insured and named mortgagee endorsements
in
connection with any sale of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything contained herein,
Borrower shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds covered by and disbursed
under the above-referenced comprehensive all risk insurance policy provided
such
proceeds do not exceed $25,000.00 per occurrence.
All
insurance policies for the above-required insurance must provide for thirty
(30)
days prior written notice of cancellation to Lender.
15
Policies
or binders, together with evidence of the above required insurance on XXXXX
Form
27 or its equivalent, must be submitted to Lender prior to setting the interest
rate on the Loan.
With
respect to insurance policies which require payment of premiums annually, not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance
policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower shall pay such amount,
except to the extent Lender is escrowing sums therefor pursuant to the Loan
Documents. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of
the
insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, originals or certified
copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates evidencing such renewals)
bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other
evidence satisfactory to Lender of such payment, which premiums shall not be
paid by Borrower through or by any financing arrangement, shall be delivered
by
Borrower to Lender at the address set forth in Section 8.7 hereof. Borrower
shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing
in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Section 4.5. If
the
limits of any policy required hereunder are reduced or eliminated due to a
covered loss, Borrower shall pay the additional premium, if any, in order to
have the original limits of insurance reinstated, or Borrower shall purchase
new
insurance in the same type and amount that existed immediately prior to the
loss.
If
Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or
certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its option,
procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay or, as the case may be, reimburse
Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with interest
thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of
repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Loan
Obligations.
The
insurance required by this Agreement may, at the option of Borrower, be effected
by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Borrower or to an Affiliate of
Borrower covering the Facility and the properties of such Affiliate; provided
that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this
Agreement and allocate to the Facility, from time to time, the coverage
specified by this Agreement, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance
by
reason of, or damage to, any other property (real or personal) named therein.
If
the insurance required by this Agreement shall be effected by any such blanket
or umbrella policies, Borrower shall furnish to Lender original policies or
certified copies thereof, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount
of
the insurance provided under such policies which is applicable to the
Facility.
Neither
Lender nor its agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage
insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this
Agreement; it being understood that (a) Borrower shall look solely to its
insurance company for the recovery of such loss or damage, (b) such
insurance company shall have no rights of subrogation against Lender, its agents
or employees, and (c) Borrower shall use its best efforts to procure from
such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender. If,
however, such insurance policies do not provide for a waiver of subrogation
rights against Lender (whether because such a waiver is unavailable or
otherwise), then Borrower hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law and
to
the extent not prohibited by such insurance policies, to waive its rights of
recovery, if any, against Lender, its agents and employees, whether resulting
from any damage to the Facility, any
16
liability
claim in connection with the Facility or otherwise. If any such insurance policy
shall prohibit Borrower from waiving such claims, then Borrower must obtain
from
such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against
Lender.
Borrower
appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be
deemed irrevocable and coupled with an interest, to cause the issuance of an
endorsement of any insurance policy to bring Borrower into compliance herewith
and, as limited above, at Lender’s sole option, to make any claim for, receive
payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments
in payment for loss, theft, or damage covered under any such insurance policy;
provided, however, that in no event will Lender be liable for failure to collect
any amounts payable under any insurance policy.
4.6 Proceeds
of Insurance or Condemnation.
If,
after damage to or destruction of or condemnation of the Mortgaged Property
(or
any part thereof), the net Proceeds of insurance or condemnation (after payment
of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the administration
thereof) are:

all
requests for disbursement, which approvals shall be conditions precedent to
release of Proceeds as work progresses;

portion of such Proceeds shall be made available by Lender for architectural
reviews or for any other purposes which are not directly attributable to the
cost of repairing, restoring or replacing the Improvements, Equipment and
Inventory to which a loss or damage has occurred unless the same are covered
by
such insurance;
(viii) Borrower
shall diligently pursue such work and shall complete such work prior to the
earlier to occur of the expiration of business interruption insurance or the

(ix) Each

interest.
In

Medicaid or Medicare coverage, by the date required for cure by such agency
(plus extensions granted by such agency).
4.14 Debt
Service Coverage Requirements.
(a) Maintain
(commencing with the closing of the Loan) and within forty-five (45) days after
the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, provide evidence to Lender of the
achievement of, the following Debt Service Coverage Ratios until the Loans
are
paid in full:
(i) a
Debt
Service Coverage Ratio, after deduction of Actual Management Fees, of not less
than 1.10 to 1.0;
(ii) a
Debt
Service Coverage Ratio after deduction of Assumed Management Fees, of not less
than 1.15 to 1.0 for the trailing three (3) months ending June 30,
2008;
(iii) a
Debt
Service Coverage Ratio after deduction of Assumed Management Fees, of not less
than 1.20 to 1.0 for the trailing three (3) months ending September 30, 2008;
and
(iv) a
Debt
Service Coverage Ratio after deduction of Assumed Management Fees of not less
than 1.25 to 1.0 for all remaining quarters during the term of the Loan
commencing with the quarter ending on December 31, 2008, and continuing
thereafter until the Loans are paid in full.
If
Borrower fails to achieve or provide evidence of achievement of the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio, Borrower may deposit with Lender, at Borrower’s option within
fifteen (15) days of such failure, additional cash or other liquid collateral
in
an amount which, when added to the first number of the debt service coverage
calculation, would have resulted in the noncomplying debt service requirement
having been satisfied. If after Borrower has deposited such additional cash
or
liquid collateral, Borrower again fails to achieve or provide evidence of the
achievement of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements set forth above
and
such failure continues for two (2) consecutive quarters, Borrower may deposit
with Lender, at Borrower’s option within fifteen (15) days of such failure,
additional cash or other liquid collateral (with credit for amounts currently
being held by Lender pursuant to the foregoing sentence), in an amount which,
if
the same had been applied on the first (1st) day of the first quarter for which
such noncompliance of the debt service coverage requirement occurred to reduce
the outstanding principal indebtedness
22
of
the
Loan, would have resulted in the noncomplying debt service coverage requirement
having been satisfied. Any additional cash or liquid collateral deposited by
Borrower hereunder in order to achieve the required Debt Service Coverage Ratio
and cure any existing default with respect thereto will be held by Lender in
a
standard custodial account and shall constitute additional collateral for the
Loan Obligations and an “Account” as defined in this Agreement, and, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, may be applied by Lender, in such order
and
manner as Lender may elect, to the reduction of the Loan Obligations. Borrower
shall not be entitled to any interest earned on such additional collateral.
Provided that there is no outstanding Default or Event of Default, such
additional collateral which has not been applied to the Loan Obligations will
be
released by Lender at such time as Borrower provides Lender with evidence that
the required debt service coverage requirements outlined above have been
achieved and maintained (without regard to any cash deposited pursuant to this
Section 4.14) for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters.
4.15 Occupancy.
Maintain or cause to be maintained at all times, a daily average annual
aggregate occupancy for the Facilities, as tested quarterly (on the basis of
a
calendar year), commencing on June
30,
2007,
of
eighty
percent (80%) or more (based on the number of units available
at the Facilities, with the minimum number of units available at the Facilities
remaining at or in excess of the units stated in the defined term
“Facilities”).
4.16 Capital
Expenditures.
Maintain, and/or cause Manager to maintain, Facility in good condition and
make
minimum capital expenditures for each Facility in each fiscal year, in an amount
equal to the $300 per
unit
(or the appropriate prorated amount for any partial fiscal year), (which capital
expenditures may include ordinary repairs and routine maintenance), commencing
the first year of the Loan term and continuing throughout the Loan term, and,
within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal year, provide evidence
thereof satisfactory to Lender. In the event that Borrower shall fail to meet
such requirement or to provide such evidence, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s
written request, immediately establish and maintain a capital expenditures
reserve fund with Lender equal to the difference between the required amount
per
unit and the amount per unit actually spent by Borrower. Borrower grants to
Lender a lien on and a right of setoff against all moneys in the capital
expenditures reserve fund, and Borrower shall not permit any other Lien to
exist
upon such fund. Moneys on deposit in such capital expenditures reserve fund
will
be disbursed to Borrower monthly upon Lender’s receipt of satisfactory evidence
that Borrower has caused to be made the required capital expenditures. Upon
Borrower’s or Manager’s failure to adequately maintain the Facility in good
condition, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make such capital
expenditures and may apply the moneys in the capital expenditures reserve fund
for such purpose. To the extent there are insufficient moneys in such capital
expenditures reserve fund for such purposes, all funds advanced by Lender to
make such capital expenditures shall constitute a portion of the Loan
Obligations, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall accrue interest at
the
Default Rate until paid. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender
may
apply any moneys in the capital expenditures reserve fund to the Loan
Obligations, in such order and manner as Lender may elect. For any partial
fiscal year during which the Loan is outstanding, the required expenditure
amount shall be prorated by multiplying the required amount per unit amount
by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such year for
which all or part of the Loan is outstanding and the denominator of which is
the
number of days in such year. During the term of the Loan, Lender may, from
time
to time, engage a professional building inspector to conduct
23
an
inspection of the Facility. If the inspector’s report indicates that repairs or
replacements are necessary over and above the $300 per unit requirement in
this
Section 4.16, then Lender shall require a non-interest bearing repair escrow
fund to ensure completion of such necessary repairs or replacements. The amount
of any such repair escrow fund shall be one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the estimated cost of repairs as determined by such inspector and Lender.
Lender also shall require an agreement satisfactory to Lender, in its
commercially reasonable discretion, which will provide for completion of the
repairs and the disbursement of the escrow funds. All commercially reasonable
fees and costs associated with the inspection, report and subsequent inspections
(if required) shall be paid by Borrower.
4.17 Management
Agreement.
Maintain the Management Agreement in full force and effect and timely perform
all of Borrower’s obligations thereunder and enforce performance of all
obligations of Manager thereunder and not permit the termination, amendment
or
assignment of the Management Agreement unless the prior written consent of
Lender is first obtained, which consent may be in the sole and absolute
discretion of Lender. Borrower will enter into and cause Manager to enter into
the Subordination Agreement. Borrower will not enter into any other management
agreement without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be in the
sole and absolute discretion of Lender.
4.18 Updated
Appraisals.
For so
long as the Loan remains outstanding, if any Event of Default shall occur
hereunder, or if, in Lender’s judgment, a material depreciation in the value of
the Land and/or the Improvements shall have occurred, then in any such event,
Lender, may cause the Land and Improvements to be appraised by an appraiser
selected by Lender, and in accordance with Lender’s appraisal guidelines and
procedures then in effect, and Borrower agrees to cooperate in all respects
with
such appraisals and furnish to the appraisers all requested information
regarding the Land and Improvements and the Facility. Borrower agrees to pay
all
reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with such appraisal which
costs shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall accrue interest at the Default
Rate until paid.
4.19 Comply
with Covenants and Laws.
Comply,
in all material respects, with all applicable covenants and restrictions of
record and all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations and keep the Facility
and
the Land and Improvements in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Americans with
Disabilities Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, and laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations relating to zoning, health, building codes, setback
requirements, Medicaid and Medicare laws and keep the Permits for the Facility
in full force and effect.
4.20 Taxes
and Other Charges.
Subject
to Borrower’s right to contest the same as set forth in Section 9(c) of the
Mortgage, pay all taxes, assessments, charges, claims for labor, supplies,
rent,
and other obligations which, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien against real
or personal property of the Borrower, except Liens to the extent permitted
by
this Agreement.
4.21 Commitment
Letter.
Provide
all items and pay all amounts required by the Commitment Letter. If any term
of
the Commitment Letter shall conflict with the terms of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall govern and control. As to any matter contained in the Commitment
Letter, and as to which no mention is made in this Agreement or the other Loan
24
Documents,
the Commitment Letter shall continue to be in effect and shall survive the
execution of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents.
4.22 Certificate.
Upon
Lender’s written request, furnish Lender with a certificate stating that
Borrower has complied with and is in compliance with all terms, covenants and
conditions of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party and that there
exists no Default or Event of Default or, if such is not the case, that one
or
more specified events have occurred, and that the representations and warranties
contained herein are true and correct with the same effect as though made on
the
date of such certificate.
4.23 Notice
of Fees or Penalties.
Immediately notify Lender, upon Borrower’s knowledge thereof, of the assessment
by any state or, if applicable, any Medicare, Medicaid, health or licensing
agency of any fines or penalties against Borrower, Manager, or the
Facility.
4.24 Loan
Closing Certification.
Immediately notify Lender in writing, in the event any representation or
warranty contained in that certain Loan Closing Certification of even date
herewith, executed by Borrower for the benefit of Lender, becomes untrue or
there shall have been any material adverse change in any such representation
or
warranty.
4.25 Compliance
with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo, Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering
Laws.
Borrower
shall comply with all Requirements of Law relating to money laundering,
anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in
effect. Upon Lender's request from time to time during the term of the Loan,
Borrower shall certify in writing to Lender that Borrower's representations,
warranties and obligations under Sections 3.28 and 3.30 and this Section 4.25
remain true and correct and have not been breached. Borrower shall immediately
notify Lender in writing if any of such representations, warranties or covenants
are no longer true or have been breached or if Borrower has a reasonable basis
to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached. In connection
with such an event, Borrower shall comply with all Requirements of Law and
directives of Governmental Authorities and, at Lender's request, provide to
Lender copies of all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with,
or received from, Governmental Authorities relating to such an event. Borrower
shall also reimburse Lender any expense incurred by Lender in evaluating the
effect of such an event on the Loan and Lender's interest in the collateral
for
the Loan, in obtaining any necessary license from Governmental Authorities
as
may be necessary for Lender to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents,
and
in complying with all Requirements of Law applicable to Lender as the result
of
the existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon
Lender as a result thereof.
4.26 Compliance
Program.
Within
ninety (90) days after the date hereof, adopt, and thereafter at all times
maintain, a compliance program consisted with the guidelines published by Office
of the Inspector General at 65 Fed. Reg. 14289 (March 16, 2000), as amended
from
time to time. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall (a) provide a copy of its
written compliance program, and (b) identify its program compliance
officer.

6.5 Borrower’s
Environmental Representations and Warranties.
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, except as previously disclosed
by Borrower to Lender in writing:
(a) Borrower
has not at any time caused or permitted any Prohibited Activities and
Conditions.
(b) No
Prohibited Activities and Conditions exist or have existed.
(c) The
Land
and the Improvements do not now contain any underground storage tanks, and,
to
the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, the Land
and the Improvements have not contained any underground storage tanks in the
past. If there is an underground storage tank located on the Land or the
Improvements which has been previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in
writing, that tank complies with all requirements of Hazardous Materials
Laws.
(d) Borrower
has complied with all Hazardous Materials Laws, including all requirements
for
notification regarding releases of Hazardous Materials, relating to the Land.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower has obtained all
Environmental Permits required for the operation of the Land and the
Improvements in accordance with Hazardous Materials Laws now in effect and
all
such Environmental Permits are in full force and effect. During Borrower’s
ownership of the Land, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable
and diligent inquiry, no event has occurred with respect to the Land and/or
Improvements that constitutes or, with the passing of time or the giving of
notice, would constitute, noncompliance with the terms of any Environmental
Permit.
(e) There
are
no actions, suits, claims or proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, threatened that involves the
Land and/or the Improvements and allege, arise out of, or relate to any
Prohibited Activity and Condition.
(f) Borrower
has not received any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other
communication from any Governmental Authority with regard to air emissions,
water discharges, noise emissions or Hazardous Materials, or any other
environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Land, the Improvements
or
any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Land. The representations
and warranties in this Article VI shall be continuing representations and
warranties that shall be deemed to be made by Borrower throughout the term
of
the Loan evidenced by the Note and until all of the Loan Obligations have been
paid in full.
6.6 Notice
of Certain Events.
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any and all of the following
that may occur:
(a) Borrower’s
discovery of any Prohibited Activity and Condition.
(b) Borrower’s
receipt of or knowledge of any complaint, order, notice of violation or other
communication from any Governmental Authority or other Person with regard to
present or future alleged Prohibited Activities and Conditions or any other
environmental,
31
health
or
safety matters affecting the Land, the Improvements or any other property of
Borrower that is adjacent to the Land.
(c) Any
representation or warranty in this Article VI which becomes untrue at any time
after the date of this Agreement.
Any
such
notice given by Borrower shall not relieve Borrower of, or result in a waiver
of, any obligation under this Agreement, the Note, or any of the other Loan
Documents.
6.7 Costs
of Inspection.
Borrower shall pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests
or
audits (“Environmental Inspections”) required by Lender in connection with any
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or, if required by Lender, as a
condition of Lender’s consent to any “Transfer” (as defined in the Mortgage), or
required by Lender following a commercially reasonable determination by Lender
that Prohibited Activities and Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred
by
Lender (including the fees and out-of-pocket costs of attorneys and technical
consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative
process or otherwise) which Borrower fails to pay promptly shall become an
additional part of the Loan Obligations. The results of all Environmental
Inspections made by Lender shall at all times remain the property of Lender,
and
Lender shall have no obligation to disclose or otherwise make available to
Borrower or any other party such results or any other information obtained
by
Lender in connection with its Environmental Inspections. Lender hereby reserves
the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender, to make available
to
any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the
Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections made by Lender
with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying
any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results
of
any of Lender’s Environmental Inspections. Borrower acknowledges that Lender
cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the results
of any of its Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results
to
prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have
a
material and adverse effect upon the amount which a party may bid at such sale.
Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result
of
delivering the results of any of its Environmental Inspections to any third
party, and Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any
and
all claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or
incidental to the results of, the such delivery of any of Lender’s Environmental
Inspections.
6.8 Remedial
Work.
If any
investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, restoration or other
remedial work (“Remedial Work”) is necessary to bring Borrower into compliance
with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that
has
or acquires jurisdiction over the Land, the Improvements or the use, operation
or improvement of the Land under any Hazardous Materials Law, Borrower shall,
by
the earlier of (a) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials
Law
or (b) thirty (30) days after notice from Lender demanding such action, begin
performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to
completion, and shall in any event complete such work by the time required
by
applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely
basis
or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option,
cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower shall reimburse
Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower
to Lender shall become part of the Loan Obligations.

separate counsel in any such action at any time and participating in the defense
thereof at its own expense.
(c) Borrower
shall not, without the prior written consent of those Indemnitees who are named
as parties to a claim or legal or administrative proceeding (a “Claim”) settle
or compromise the Claim if the settlement (i) results in the entry of any
judgment that does not include as an unconditional term the delivery by the
claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a written release of those Indemnitees,
satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; or (ii) may materially and
adversely affect any Indemnitee, as determined by such Indemnitee in its sole
discretion.
(d) The
liability of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees shall not be limited or
impaired by any of the following, or by any failure of Borrower or any guarantor
to receive notice of or consideration for any of the following:
33
(i) Any
amendment or modification of any Loan Document;
(ii) Any
extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan
Documents;
(iii) The
accuracy or inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by Borrower
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iv) The
release of Borrower or any other Person, by Lender or by operation of law,
from
performance of any obligation under any of the Loan Documents;
(v) The
release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan
Obligations; or
(vi) Lender’s
failure to properly perfect any lien or security interest given as security
for
the Loan Obligations; or
(vii) Any
provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Lender’s recourse to property

and
expert witnesses, paid or incurred in connection with the enforcement by
Indemnitees of their rights under this Article VI, or in monitoring and
participating in any legal or administrative proceeding.
(f) In
any
circumstances in which the indemnity under this Article VI applies, Lender
may
employ its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, defend or negotiate
any claim or legal or administrative proceeding and Lender, with the prior
written consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned) may settle or compromise any action or legal or administrative
proceeding. Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and
expenses incurred by Lender, including all costs of settlements entered into

obligations and liabilities that Borrower may have under the applicable law
or
under the other Loan Documents, and each Indemnitee shall be entitled to
indemnification under this Article VI
34
without
regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against
the
Land and/or the Improvements or any other security, pursued any rights against
any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents
or
applicable law. If Borrower consists of more than one Person or entity, the
obligation of those Persons or entities to indemnify the Indemnitees under
this
Article VI shall be joint and several. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify
the Indemnitees under this Article VI shall survive any repayment or discharge
of the Loan Obligations, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale,
any
delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the
lien of the Mortgage.

for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive);
(i) Unless

ARTICLE
VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Waiver.
No
remedy conferred upon, or reserved to, Lender in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or
remedies,
37
and
each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity.
Exercise of or omission to exercise any right of Lender shall not affect any
subsequent right of Lender to exercise the same. No course of dealing between
Borrower and Lender or any delay on Lender’s part in exercising any rights shall
operate as a waiver of any of Lender’s rights. No waiver of any Default under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall extend to or shall
affect any subsequent or other, then existing, Default or shall impair any
rights, remedies or powers of Lender.
8.2 Costs
and Expenses.
Borrower will bear all taxes, fees and expenses (including actual attorneys’
fees and expenses of counsel for Lender) in connection with the Loan, the Note,
the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any
amendments hereafter made), and in connection with any modifications thereto
and
the recording of any of the Loan Documents. If, at any time, a Default occurs
or
Lender becomes a party to any suit or proceeding in order to protect its
interests or priority in any collateral for any of the Loan Obligations or
its
rights under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or if Lender is made
a
party to any suit or proceeding by virtue of the Loan, this Agreement or any
Mortgaged Property and as a result of any of the foregoing, Lender employs
counsel to advise or provide other representation with respect to this
Agreement, or to collect the balance of the Loan Obligations, or to take any
action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents, any Mortgaged Property, Borrower, Guarantor
or
Manager, or to protect, collect, or liquidate any of the security for the Loan
Obligations, or attempt to enforce any security interest or lien granted to
Lender by any of the Loan Documents, then in any such events, all of the actual
attorney’s fees arising from such services, including attorneys’ fees for
preparation of litigation and in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings, and
any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional
obligations of Borrower to Lender payable on demand of Lender. Without limiting
the foregoing, Borrower has undertaken the obligation for payment of, and shall
pay, all recording and filing fees, revenue or documentary stamps or taxes,
intangibles taxes, and other taxes, expenses and charges payable in connection
with this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, the Loan Obligations, or the
filing of any financing statements or other instruments required to effectuate
the purposes of this Agreement, and should Borrower fail to do so, Borrower
agrees to reimburse Lender for the amounts paid by Lender, together with
penalties or interest, if any, incurred by Lender as a result of underpayment
or
nonpayment. Such amounts shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations,
shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate
(as
defined in the Note) from the date advanced until repaid.
8.3 Performance
of Lender.
At its
option, upon Borrower’s failure to do so, Lender may make any payment or do any
act on Borrower’s behalf that Borrower or others are required to do to remain in
compliance with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and Borrower
agrees to reimburse Lender, on demand, for any payment made or expense incurred
by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization, including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees, and until so repaid any sums advanced by Lender
shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the
Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note)
from the date advanced until repaid.
38
8.4 Indemnification.
Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims,
suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions,
proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, losses, costs, expenses, diminutions
in value, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments, awards, amounts
paid in settlement, punitive damages, foreseeable and unforeseeable
consequential damages, of whatever kind or nature (including but not limited
to
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of defense) imposed upon or incurred
by or asserted against Lender by reason of (a) ownership of the Note, the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or receipt of any
Rents, (b) any amendment to, or restructuring of, the Loan Obligations and/or
any of the Loan Documents, (c) any and all lawful action that may be taken
by
Lender in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of the Mortgage
or
the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, whether or not suit is filed in
connection with same, or in connection with Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and/or
any partner, joint venturer, member or shareholder thereof becoming a party
to a
voluntary or involuntary federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceeding, (d) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage
to property occurring in, on or about the Land, the Improvements or any part
thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent
parking areas, streets or ways, (e) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or
about
the Land, the Improvements or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks,

failure on the part of Borrower, Guarantor or Manager to perform or comply
with
any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (g)

real
estate, broker and barter exchange transactions, which may be required in
connection with the Mortgage, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion
to
the recipient of the proceeds of the transaction in connection with which the
Loan is made, (k) any misrepresentation made to Lender in this Agreement or
in
any of the other Loan Documents, (l) any tax on the making and/or recording
of
the Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (m) the violation
of
any requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, (n) any fines or penalties assessed or any corrective costs incurred
by
Lender if the Facility or any part of the Land and/or Improvements is determined
to be in violation of any covenants, restrictions of record, or any applicable
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, or (o) the enforcement by any of the
Indemnified Parties of the provisions of this Section 8.4. Any amounts payable
to Lender by reason of the application of this Section 8.4, shall become
immediately due and payable, and shall constitute a portion of the Loan
Obligations, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall accrue interest at
the
Default Rate (as defined in the Note). The obligations and liabilities of
Borrower under this Section 8.4 shall survive any termination, satisfaction,
assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure or exercise of a power of sale
or
delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage. For purposes of
this
Section 8.4, the term “Indemnified Parties” means Lender and any Person who is
or will have been involved in the origination of the Loan, any Person who is
or
will have been involved in the servicing of the Loan, any Person in whose name
the encumbrance created by the Mortgage is or will have been recorded, any
Person who may hold or acquire or will have held a
39
full
or
partial interest in the Loan (including, without limitation, any investor in
any
securities backed in whole or in part by the Loan) as well as the respective
directors, officers, shareholder, partners, members, employees, agents,
servants, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, affiliates,
subsidiaries, participants, successors and assigns of any and all of the
foregoing (including, without limitation, any other Person who holds or acquires
or will have held a participation or other full or partial interest in the
Loan
or the Mortgaged Property, whether during the term of the Mortgage or as a
part
of or following a foreclosure of the Loan and including, without limitation,
any
successors by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or a substantial
portion of Lender’s assets and business).
8.5 Headings.
The
headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall not limit or otherwise
affect any of the terms hereof.
8.6 Survival
of Covenants.
All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in
certificates or reports delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been
material and relied on by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by
or
on behalf of Lender, and shall survive the execution and delivery to Lender
of
the Note and this Agreement.
8.7 Notices,
etc.
Any
notice or other communication required or permitted to be given by this

8.8 Benefits.
All of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No Person
other than Borrower or Lender shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement
or
be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
8.9 Participation.
Borrower acknowledges that Lender may, at its option, sell participation
interests in the Loan or to other participating banks or Lender may (but shall
not be obligated to) assign its interest in the Loan to its affiliates, or
to
other assignees (the “Assignee”) to be included as a pool of properties to be
financed in a proposed Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC). Borrower
agrees with each present and future participant in the Loan or Assignee of
the
Loan that if an Event of Default should occur, each present and future
participant or Assignee shall have all of the rights and remedies of Lender
with
respect to any deposit due from Borrower. The execution by a participant of
a
participation agreement with Lender, and the execution by Borrower of this
Agreement, regardless of the order of execution, shall evidence an agreement
between Borrower and said participant in accordance with the terms of this
Section. If the Loan is assigned to the Assignee, the Assignee will engage
an
underwriter (the “Underwriter”), who will be responsible for the due diligence,
documentation, preparation and execution of certain documents required in
connection with the offering of interests in the REMIC. Borrower agrees that
Lender may, at its sole option and without notice to or consent of Borrower,
assign its interest in the Loan to the Assignee for inclusion in the REMIC
and,
in such event, Borrower agrees to provide the Assignee with such information
as
may be reasonably required by the Underwriter in connection therewith or by
an
investor in any securities backed in whole or in part by the Loan or any rating
agency rating such securities. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all right
it
may have under applicable law to prohibit such disclosure, including, but not
limited to, any right of privacy, and consents to the disclosure of such
information to the Underwriter, to potential investors in the REMIC, and to
such
rating agencies.
8.10 Supersedes
Prior Agreements; Counterparts.
This
Agreement and the instruments referred to herein supersede and incorporate
all
representations, promises and statements, oral or written, made by Lender in
connection with the Loan. This Agreement may not be varied, altered, or amended
except by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of Lender.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when
executed and delivered, shall be an original, but such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.
41
8.11 Loan
Agreement Governs.
The
Loan is governed by the terms and provisions set forth in this Loan Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and in the event of any irreconcilable conflict
between the terms of the other Loan Documents and the terms of this Loan
Agreement, the terms of this Loan Agreement shall control; provided, however,
that in the event that there is any apparent conflict between any particular
term or provision which appears in both this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and it is possible and reasonable for the terms of both this Loan
Agreement and the Loan Documents to be performed or complied with, then,
notwithstanding the foregoing, both the terms of this Loan Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be performed and complied with.
8.12 CONTROLLING
LAW.
THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT AND
EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE PARTIES HERETO SUBMIT (AND
WAIVE
ALL RIGHTS TO OBJECT) TO NON-EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS EXCEPT THAT IF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISES UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION, LAWS OR TREATIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OR IF THERE
IS A
DIVERSITY OF CITIZENSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES THERETO, SO THAT IT IS TO BE
BROUGHT IN A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, IT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA IN WHICH ANY FACILITY
IS LOCATED OR ANY SUCCESSOR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ORIGINAL
JURISDICTION.
8.13 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL.
BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT EITHER OR BOTH MAY HAVE TO
A
TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN,
OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL
TO
ANY DEALINGS OF LENDER AND/OR BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF EITHER PARTY’S RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP
OF
THE PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. BORROWER
AGREES THAT LENDER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN
EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED AGREEMENT OF BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY AS AN INDUCEMENT TO LENDER
TO
MAKE THE LOAN, AND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE
OR CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER (WHETHER OR NOT MODIFIED HEREIN) BETWEEN BORROWER
AND
LENDER SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE
