(f) The words “include”, “includes” and “including” are not limiting.
(g) The words “approval” and “approved”, as the context requires, means an approval in writing given to the party seeking approval after full and fair disclosure to the party giving approval of all material facts necessary in order to determine whether approval should be granted.
(h) All terms not specifically defined herein or by GAAP, which terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York, have the meanings assigned to them therein.
(i) Reference to a particular “§”, refers to that section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.
(j) The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and words of like import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or subdivision of this Agreement.
(k) In the event of any change in GAAP after the date hereof or any other change in accounting procedures pursuant to §7.3 which would affect the computation of any financial covenant, ratio or other requirement set forth in any Loan Document, then upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders shall negotiate promptly, diligently and in good faith in order to amend the provisions of the Loan Documents such that such financial covenant, ratio or other requirement shall continue to provide substantially the same financial tests or restrictions of the Borrower and the Guarantors as in effect prior to such accounting change, as determined by the Majority Lenders in their good faith judgment. Until such time as such amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Majority Lenders, such financial covenants, ratio and other requirements, and all financial statements and other documents required to be delivered under the Loan Documents, shall be calculated and reported as if such change had not occurred.
(l) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii)
37 |
without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.
(m) To the extent that any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document is qualified by “Material Adverse Effect” or any other materiality qualifier, then the qualifier “in all material respects” contained in §§2.12(a)(iv), 2.13(c)(iii), 7.20(a)(ii), 5.3(e), 10.8 and 11.2 shall not apply with respect to any such representations and warranties.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with §2.7, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the sum of (A) the Borrowing Base Availability minus (B) the sum of (1) the amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans, and (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time (i) exceed the lesser of (A) Borrowing Base Availability and (B) the Total Commitment or (ii) cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of the Xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xx §00 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such request. The Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower or participate in Letter of Credit Liabilities in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the lesser of the amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Commitments and the principal face amount of its Revolving Credit Note.
(b) The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Agent to make or cause to
38 |
be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Agent’s Record reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due.
§2.2 [Intentionally Omitted.]
39 |
Loan Commitment shall automatically decrease by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the applicable reduction of the Total Commitment. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment and (B) the Borrowing Base Availability, or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. Swing Loans shall constitute “Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes hereunder. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless the Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and the Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(d)) to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided. A Swing Loan may not be refinanced with another Swing Loan.
(b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set
40 |
forth on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due.
(c) The Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. The Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7(a). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time).
(d) The Swing Loan Lender shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Cleveland Time) on the Business Day of the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, the Agent shall notify the Lenders that such Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such LIBOR Rate Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a LIBOR Rate Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.5(d) shall be considered a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the events described in §12.1(g), 12.1(h) or 12.1(i) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.5(e) shall apply), each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later than one (1) Business Day after the date such request was made by the Swing Loan Lender just as if the Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.
(e) If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such
41 |
Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.
(g) Each Lender’s obligation to fund a Loan as provided in §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of REIT or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and the Swing Loan Lender as against such Lender as a Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Lender, thereby making such Lender a Defaulting Lender. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Revolving Credit Loan made by each Lender under its Commitment.
(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.
(d) Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.
42 |
executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit E hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit E hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan and the Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain (a) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.9) and (b) a certification by the chief executive officer, president or chief financial officer of the Borrower that the Borrower and Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against any Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Revolving Credit Loan as required by this Agreement. Each Loan Request shall be (x) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (y) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.
(a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, each of the Lenders, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each such Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans made available to the Agent by the Lenders, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Revolving Credit Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.
(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, the Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan
43 |
available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (iii) in no event shall the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit) exceed the lesser of the Total Commitment and the Borrowing Base Availability or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (iv) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, and (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Majority Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending one year after the date of issuance thereof, subject to extension
44 |
pursuant to an “evergreen” clause acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date). The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan.
(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer of the Borrower that the Borrower and Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to §2.10(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.
(d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.
(e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fronting fee calculated at the rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event) and an administrative charge of $250, and (ii) for the accounts of the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans on the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of the Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by the Issuing Lender.
(f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount
45 |
drawn treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (the Borrower being deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telex, telecopy, telegram, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%) for each day thereafter. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.10(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in §12.5. The failure of any Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).
(g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(h) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Lender any such Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
(i) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.
46 |
(j) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither the Agent, the Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on the Borrower and will not put the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve the Issuing Lender for liability to the Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
§2.11 Increase in Total Commitment.
(a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the Maturity Date to request one or more increases in the Total Commitment to an aggregate amount of not more than $450,000,000.00 by giving written notice to the Agent (each, an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is a “Commitment Increase”); provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000.00 and increments of $10,000,000.00 in excess thereof unless otherwise approved by the Agent in its sole discretion. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with the Arranger and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of the facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who increase their respective Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to the Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, the Agent shall send a notice to all Lenders (each, an “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Lender who desires to increase its Commitment upon such terms shall provide the Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of such increase which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arranger shall allocate the Commitment Increase among
47 |
the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and the Arranger shall determine in their sole discretion. In addition, the Agent, Arranger or the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent, the Arranger and the Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an additional Commitment. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (each, a “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to increase its Commitment.
(b) On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans. The participation interests of the Lenders in Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date, each of those Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages.
(c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11, (i) the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 to reflect the name and address, Commitment and Commitment Percentage of each Lender following such increase and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new Revolving Credit Note for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Commitment, (ii) the Swing Loan Commitment shall automatically increase to the lesser of (A) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the new Total Commitment and (B) the Commitment of the Swing Loan Lender, and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new Swing Loan Note for the Swing Loan Lender so that the principal amount of the Swing Loan Note shall equal the Swing Loan Commitment, and (iii) the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall automatically increase to the lesser of (A) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the new Total Commitment up to a maximum of $25,000,000.00 and (B) the Commitment of the Issuing Lender. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Note and Swing Loan Note to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note, and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the applicable Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note, as applicable. In connection with the issuance of any new Revolving Credit Notes or a new Swing Loan Note pursuant to this §2.11(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note and the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement
48 |
under this Agreement. The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:
(i) Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent and the Arranger those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arranger such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an additional Commitment, or increasing their respective Commitment, may require to increase the aggregate Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arranger shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the increased Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and
(ii) No Default. On the date any such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and
(iii) Representations True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased; and
(iv) Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the Lenders such additional documents (including, without limitation, amendments to the Security Documents (if applicable)), instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require in its sole and absolute discretion (including, without limitation, in the case of the Borrower, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase) and the Borrower shall pay the cost of any updated UCC searches, all recording and filing costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are incurred by the Agent, the Arranger or the Lenders in connection with such increase.
§2.12 Extension of Maturity Date.
(a) The Borrower shall have the right and option to extend the Maturity Date in respect of the Total Commitment or portion thereof in accordance with §2.4 (as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion) a total of two (2) times for a period of one (1) year each time upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Maturity Date:
49 |
(i) Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not earlier than the date which is one hundred fifty (150) days and not later than the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) and which notice shall specify the aggregate amount of the Commitments the Borrower elects to so extend (provided that any reduction of the Commitments shall be in accordance with §2.4).
(ii) Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to twenty-five (25) basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) or on the portion thereof to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.
(iii) No Default. On the date of such extension, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.
(iv) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such extension.
For purposes of clarity, if the Borrower exercises its first right and option as provided above to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to this §2.12 (the “First Extension Option”), the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be extended to March 21, 2018, and if the Borrower subsequently exercises its second right and option as provided above to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to this §2.12 (the “Second Extension Option”), then the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be extended to March 21, 2019. Borrower may only exercise the Second Extension Option if it has exercised the First Extension Option in accordance with this §2.12. Any extension option granted pursuant to this §2.12 shall become effective on the day that all the conditions in this §2.12 with respect to such extension are satisfied, provided that such conditions must be satisfied within the time period provided in each such condition, and, in any event, prior to the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension).
(a) If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Majority Lenders, Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the
50 |
immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).
(b) Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such fifth Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) or the Majority Lenders may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitments to an eligible assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an eligible assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (but not on accrued and unpaid fees). Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).
(c) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender); provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the time of such reallocation, the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 are satisfied or waived in writing (and, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at the time), and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or
51 |
fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender plus (2) such Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(d) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) and/or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Revolving Credit Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
52 |
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loan, shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.
(e) Within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender (after giving effect to §§2.5(a), 2.10(a) and 2.13(c)) on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans. Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this §2.13(e) shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.
(f) (i) Each Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any facility unused fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(ii) Each Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(iii) With respect to any facility unused fee or Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such fee.
(g) If the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded
53 |
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(a) The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.7.
(b) The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.

to each category of Loans, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans).
§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.
(b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.
(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month, provided that no circumstance exists which would preclude Borrower from obtaining a LIBOR Rate Loan, or if Borrower would be precluded from obtaining a LIBOR Rate Loan, it shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
55 |
(a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank set forth on Schedule 4.3, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender) under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.
(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower to deduct or withhold with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (other than any deduction or withholding with respect to Excluded Taxes), the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender) or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. If any such Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the forms required pursuant to §4.3(c) or other documentation, then the Agent may withhold from any payments to be made to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents such amounts as are required by the Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent or the Borrower (as to the Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender due to such Lender’s failure to deliver such forms or documentation, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent and/or the Borrower (as to the Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent or by the Borrower (as to the Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) under this §4.3, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all
56 |
disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent and the Borrower (as to the Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only). The obligation of the Lenders under this §4.3(b) shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and all the resignation or replacement of the Agent. Without limitation of this §4.3(b), if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting and document provision requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and/or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
(c) Each Lender that is not a United States Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Agent) with such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, indicates the withholding status of such Lender and allows the Borrower and Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Lender that is a United States Person as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall provide the Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower and Agent), duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this §4.3(c) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. In the event that the Borrower shall have delivered the certificates or vouchers described above for any payments made by the Borrower and such Lender receives a refund of any taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to §4.3(b) or §15, such Lender will pay to the Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund, the Borrower shall promptly repay to such Lender the amount of such refund.
(d) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and of the Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit and to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to Swing Loans) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without
57 |
limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of court of competent jurisdiction; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by the Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in the Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such circumstance or happening under this clause (xiii) shall not have occurred as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
58 |
Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.

The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor have maintained and
88 |
shall continue to maintain in all material respects all records required to be maintained by any Governmental Authority or Third Party Payor Program or otherwise under the Healthcare Laws and there are no presently existing circumstances which would result or likely would result in material violations of the Healthcare Laws. The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors have and will maintain all Primary Licenses and material Permits necessary under applicable laws to own and/or operate the Borrowing Base Assets, as applicable (including such Primary Licenses and material Permits as are required under such Healthcare Laws).
(b) The Borrower represents that none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is (i) a “covered entity” or a “business associate” within the meaning of HIPAA or submits claims or reimbursement requests to Third-Party Payor Programs “electronically” (within the meaning of HIPAA) or (ii) is subject to the “Administrative Simplification” provisions of HIPAA. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor at any time becomes a “covered entity” or a “business associate” or subject to the “Administrative Simplification” provisions of HIPAA, then such Persons (x) will promptly undertake all necessary surveys, audits, inventories, reviews, analyses and/or assessments (including any necessary risk assessments) of all areas of its business and operations required by HIPAA and/or that could be adversely affected by the failure of such Person(s) to be HIPAA Compliant (as defined below); (y) will promptly develop a detailed plan and time line for becoming HIPAA Compliant (a “HIPAA Compliance Plan”); and (z) will implement those provisions of such HIPAA Compliance Plan in all material respects necessary to ensure that such Person(s) are or become HIPAA Compliant.

(c) The Borrower shall not, nor shall the Borrower permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, do (or suffer to be done) any of the following with respect to any Borrowing Base Asset:
(i) Transfer any Primary Licenses relating to such Borrowing Base Asset to any location other than to another Borrowing Base Asset;
(ii) Amend the Primary Licenses in such a manner that results in a material adverse effect on the rates charged, or otherwise diminish or impair the nature, tenor or scope of the Primary Licenses without the Agent’s consent;
89 |
(iii) Transfer all or any part of any Borrowing Base Asset’s units or beds to another site or location other than to another Borrowing Base Asset; or
(iv) Voluntarily transfer or encourage the transfer of any resident of any Borrowing Base Asset to any other facility (other than to another Borrowing Base Asset), unless such transfer is (A) at the request of the resident, (B) for reasons relating to the health, required level of medical care or safety of the resident to be transferred or the residents remaining at the such Borrowing Base Asset or (C) as a result of the disruptive behavior of the transferred resident that is detrimental to the Borrowing Base Asset.
(d) If and when the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor participates in any Medicare or Medicaid or other Third-Party Payor Programs with respect to the Borrowing Base Assets, the Borrowing Base Assets will remain in compliance with all requirements necessary for participation in Medicare, Medicaid, and such other Third-Party Payor Programs. If and when an Operator participates in any Medicare, Medicaid or other Third-Party Payor Programs with respect to the Borrowing Base Assets, where expressly empowered by the applicable Lease, the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall enforce the express obligation of such Operator (if any) to cause its Borrowing Base Asset to remain in compliance with all requirements necessary for participation in Medicare, Medicaid and such other Third-Party Payor Programs. Where expressly empowered by the applicable Lease, the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall enforce the obligations of the Operator thereunder (if any) to cause its Borrowing Base Asset to remain in conformance in all material respects with Healthcare Laws, as well as all insurance, reimbursement and cost reporting requirements, and, if applicable, to have such Operator maintain its current provider agreement(s) in full force and effect with Medicare, Medicaid and any other Third Party Payor Programs in which it participates.
(e) If the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor receives written notice of any Healthcare Investigation after the Closing Date, the Borrower will promptly obtain and provide to the Agent the following information with respect thereto, to the extent the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor has such information or can obtain it pursuant to the applicable Lease or by law: (i) number of records requested, (ii) dates of service, (iii) dollars at risk, (iv) date records submitted, (v) determinations, findings, results and denials (including number, percentage and dollar amount of claims denied, (vi) additional remedies proposed or imposed, (vii) status update, including appeals, and (viii) any other pertinent information related thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Real Estate does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate or satisfy the requirements of §7.20(a), such Real Estate shall be included as a Borrowing Base Asset and in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Required Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate as a Borrowing Base Asset and in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability.
93 |

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due (or, with respect to any payments other than interest on the Loans, any reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit or any fees due under the Loan Documents, within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Agent), provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to receive more than two (2) grace or cure periods in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days ending on the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further, that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(d) in the event that the Borrower cures (or causes to be cured) such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to defaults consisting of a failure to comply with §§7.4(c), 7.12, 7.15, 7.18, 7.19, 7.20, 8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.7, or 8.8 or to any Default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(s) in the event that the Borrower cures (or causes to be cured) such failure within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of such failure. In the event that any Borrowing Base Asset shall fail to satisfy the requirements set forth in §§7.20(a)(i)-(v), (viii), (xi) and (xii), and such Real Estate asset has not otherwise been included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability pursuant to §7.20(b) notwithstanding such particular non-compliance, such failure shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default if such Borrowing Base Asset is removed from the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability pursuant to §7.20(d).
(b) In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Borrowing Base Assets or the owner(s) thereof, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by electing to have the Agent remove such Borrowing Base Assets from the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability and by reducing the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit so that no Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that in the event such Default occurs as a result of a representation or warranty under §6.32 being false (without regard to any knowledge qualifier) in any material respect with respect to an Operator not affiliated with the Borrower, such removal and reduction shall be completed within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Majority Lenders.
113 |
(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise,
114 |
protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;
(b) Second, to all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2, (iii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses and Hedge Obligations (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders and Lender Hedge Providers, pro rata; and provided, further that the Majority Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and
(c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, Swing Loans and the other Obligations and Hedge Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this §12.6.
(b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.
(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect
115 |
to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If a Swing Loan is not refinanced as a Base Rate Loan as provided in §2.5 above, then the Agent is authorized to use monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to any participation not funded by a Defaulting Lender.
(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Majority Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations and Hedge Obligations in accordance with §12.5.
(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans at such time.
(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein. The Borrower authorizes the Agent to file such financing statements as the Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Account, and the Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to the Agent such other documents as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence its security interest in the Collateral Account.
Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default under §12.1(a) or §12.1(b), including in connection with any acceleration of the Obligations, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower or the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and each Guarantor) but with the prior written approval of the Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or a Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its
116 |
proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
117 |
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.
(a) A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.13(d).
118 |
(b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. In the event that the Agent shall refrain from making any distribution of any amount received by it as provided in this §14.5(b), the Agent shall endeavor to hold such amounts in an interest bearing account and at such time as such amounts may be distributed to the Lenders, the Agent shall distribute to each Lender, based on their respective Commitment Percentages, its pro rata share of the interest or other earnings from such deposited amount.
119 |
appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as the Agent and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender. If the resigning Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.
124 |
Exhibit J attached hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance Agreement”), together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any natural person or any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower or any Guarantor or be to a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee of a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower), (f) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower and (g) if such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment, the assigning Lender shall retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect such assignment. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower and/or any Guarantor and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default exists hereunder, no assignment pursuant to this §18.1 shall be to another real estate investment trust which owns and/or operates healthcare facilities and could reasonably be considered a competitor of REIT or any Affiliate thereof (a “Competitor REIT”); provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
125 |
names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $3,500.00.
126 |
agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
127 |
or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination or oversight of such Lender by such Governmental Authority or other requests by regulators that are not part of an examination) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall disclose such non-public information to a Competitor REIT unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has consented to such disclosure (or is deemed to have consented pursuant to §18.1). Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower or the Guarantors, is or becomes available to Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential basis, or is disclosed with the prior approval of the Borrower or the Guarantors. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.

2. If Assignor shall receive any payments made under or with respect to the Distributions (including, without limitation, any Distributions from or relating to any sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, option or other disposition of, or any pledge, mortgage, encumbrance, financing or refinancing of, or payment of, or casualty to or condemnation of, any of the Collateral or the Property, or upon any redemption or conversion of the Collateral, regardless of whether such event is permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents), Assignor shall hold all such payments in trust for the Agent, will not commingle such payments with other funds of Assignor, and will immediately pay and deliver in kind, all such payments directly to the Agent (with such endorsements and assignments as may be necessary to transfer title to the Agent) for application by the Agent in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
3. Assignor hereby agrees for the benefit of each of the Companies and any member or partner thereof, that all payments actually received by the Agent hereunder or pursuant hereto shall be deemed payments to Assignor by the respective Company, as the case may be, the Agent shall apply any and all such payments actually received by the Agent in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
4. In furtherance of the foregoing, Assignor does hereby notify and direct each of the Companies and their members and partners that all payments under or with

(c) To the extent permitted by law, Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent its true and lawful attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, either in the name of the Agent, or in the name of Assignor, at Assignor’s sole cost and expense, and regardless of whether or not the Agent becomes a member or partner in any of the Companies, to take any or all of the following actions, provided, however, that no such action shall be permitted or undertaken by Agent unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
1. to ask, demand, xxx for, attach, levy, settle, compromise, collect, compound, recover, receive and give receipt and acquittances for any and all Collateral and to take any and all actions as the Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to realize upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, making any statements and doing and taking any actions on behalf of Assignor which are otherwise required of Assignor under the terms of any agreement as conditions precedent to the payment of the Distributions, and the right and power to receive, endorse, assign and deliver in the name of Assignor, any checks, notes, drafts, instruments and other evidences of payment received in payment of or on account of all or any portion of the Collateral and Assignor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, and notice of demand, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed; and
2. to institute one or more actions against any of the Companies or any member or partner thereof in connection with the collection of the Collateral, to prosecute to judgment, settle or dismiss any such actions, and to make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable, in the Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, with respect to such Distributions, to extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Organizational Agreements of any Company with respect to the Distributions or release of any of the Companies or any member or partner thereof, respectively, from their respective obligations to pay any Distribution, without incurring responsibility to, or affecting any liability of, Assignor under any of such Organizational Agreements;
it being specifically understood and agreed, however, that the Agent shall not be obligated in any manner whatsoever to give any notices of default (except as specifically required herein or in the other Loan Documents) or to exercise any such power or authority or be in any way responsible for the preservation, maintenance, collection of or realizing upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof or any of Assignor’s rights therein. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing and any such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in the Agent, its successors and assigns until this Assignment terminates as provided in Section 14 hereof.
K-5 |
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would occur as a result thereof, Assignor shall have a right (revocable upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) to receive any Distributions as permitted under the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no such income to be distributed shall be attributable to rents, accounts, accounts receivable, fees or other amounts paid more than one (1) month in advance, and provided further that such amounts to be distributed shall not include any proceeds of any sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, option or other disposition of, or any mortgage, hypothecation, encumbrance, financing or refinancing of, or casualty or condemnation of, any of the Properties, or any other Person in which it directly or indirectly holds an interest, any principal payments of any notes receivable, any amounts otherwise required by the terms of the Loan Documents to be paid to the Agent or any other items of income which are extraordinary or of a non-recurring nature.
5. Warranties and Covenants. Assignor does hereby warrant and represent to, and covenant and agree with the Agent, as follows:
(a) Assignor has, and shall maintain throughout the term of this Assignment, all necessary power, authority and legal right to own and grant a security interest in the Collateral, and to assign to the Agent the security interest granted hereby.
(b) Each of the Companies is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State identified on Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

(d) None of the Membership Interests are evidenced by any certificate, instrument, document or other writing other than the Certificates and Organizational Agreements of the Companies, as the case may be. The Certificates have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non assessable.
(e) This Assignment has been duly executed and delivered by Assignor and constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of Assignor, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.

(h) Assignor is and shall remain the sole lawful, beneficial and record owner of the Collateral, which Assignor has hereby granted a security interest to the Agent free and clear of all liens, restrictions, Adverse Claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges, rights of third parties and rights of set off or recoupment whatsoever (other than those in favor of the Agent hereunder), and Assignor has the full and complete right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Agent, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Assignment. The term “Adverse Claims” shall mean, with respect to any item of property, any and all claims, liens, security interests, charges, options, rights, restrictions on transfer or pledge, covenants and encumbrances of any kind affecting the item of property, including (if applicable) “adverse claims” as such term is defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than the liens and security interests created in favor of the Agent pursuant to this Assignment. Each Company is and shall remain the sole, lawful, beneficial and record owner of the ownership interest described in Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof in each Person identified on such Schedule 1 as being owned (in whole or in part) by such Company, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges, rights of third parties and rights of setoff or recoupment whatsoever. No Company owns or will own any assets other than the applicable assets described in Schedule 1 attached hereto (except for any furniture, fixtures, equipment and cash related to, or used in the ordinary operation of, the Eligible Real Estate directly or indirectly owned or leased by such Company). Assignor is not and will not become a party to or otherwise be bound by or subject to any agreement, other than the Credit Agreement, which restricts in any manner the rights of any present or future holder of such Collateral with respect thereto. No Person has any option, right of first refusal, right of first offer or other right to acquire all or any portion of the Collateral.
(i) Except with respect to any Membership Interests which have been released in accordance with the Credit Agreement, Assignor is and shall remain the sole lawful, beneficial and record owner of the Membership Interests, which Assignor has hereby granted a security interest to the Agent and no other person or entity owns or shall own any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in such Companies or any other Person in which any of such Companies may directly or indirectly own an interest or has or shall have any right to vote or exercise control over such Companies or any other Person in which any of such Companies may directly or indirectly own an interest or their management. Assignor has fully funded all of its capital contributions required pursuant to the applicable Organizational Agreements of each of the Companies, and Assignor has no further obligation to contribute capital to such Companies.
(j) This Assignment, together with the UCC financing statements, and the Certificates and powers delivered to the Agent (such powers to be in the form of Exhibit “D”
K-7 |
attached hereto), creates a valid and binding first priority security interest in the Collateral securing the payment of the Secured Obligations and the performance by Assignor of its obligations under the Loan Documents and this Assignment, and all filings and other actions necessary to perfect such security interests have been duly made and taken. Neither Assignor nor any other Person has performed, nor will Assignor perform, or cause or permit any other Person to perform, any acts which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Agent from enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Assignment or which would limit the Agent in any such enforcement.
(k) All original notes and other documents or instruments evidencing, constituting, guaranteeing or securing any of the Distributions or any right to receive the Distributions have been endorsed to and delivered to the Agent.
(l) Assignor consents to the admission of the Agent or any other purchaser of any of the Membership Interests upon a foreclosure sale as a substitute member or partner of a Company, with all of the rights and privileges of a member under the applicable Organizational Agreement in the event that the Agent exercises its rights under this Assignment and the Agent or such other purchaser succeeds to ownership of all or any portion of the Membership Interests.
(m) (i) Assignor’s correct legal name (including, without limitation, punctuation and spacing) indicated on the public organic record of Assignor’s jurisdiction, mailing address, identity or corporate structure, residence or chief executive office, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number, and federal tax identification number, are as set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, (ii) Assignor has been using or operating under said name, identity or corporate structure without change for the time period set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto, and (iii) in order to perfect the pledge and security interests granted herein against Assignor, a U.C.C. Financing Statement must be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Assignor covenants and agrees that Assignor shall not change any of the matters addressed by clauses (i) (with respect to Assignor’s correct legal name as indicated on the public organic record of Assignor’s jurisdiction) and (ii) of this Section 5(m) unless it has given the Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change and caused to be filed at the request of the Agent, or authorized the Agent or the Agent’s counsel to file, such additional financing statements or other instruments to be filed in such jurisdictions as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.
(n) Assignor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements, documents, endorsements, assurances and instruments as the Agent may reasonably at any time request in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Assignment or related to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order to better assure and confirm unto the Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the protection and perfection of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, Assignor shall, at the request of the Agent, make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or authorize the execution and delivery of and where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and/or refiled at such time in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by the Agent all such other and further

Upon any failure of Assignor to do so, the Agent may make, execute, record, file, rerecord and/or refile, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Assignor, and Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact with full power of substitutions of Assignor so to do. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
(o) Exhibit “C” correctly sets forth all names and tradenames that Assignor has used within the last five years, and also correctly sets forth the locations of all of the chief executive offices of Assignor over the last five years.
(p) Assignor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as the Agent may reasonably request for the Agent (1) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral, stating that the bailee holds possession of such Collateral on behalf of the Agent to the extent it is included in the Collateral (2) to obtain “control” of any investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York (the “UCC”) with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of collateral) in each case which are included as Collateral, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and (3) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein. If Assignor shall at any time, acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC with respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof), Assignor shall promptly notify the Agent thereof in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and shall execute a supplement to this Assignment in form and substance acceptable to the Agent granting a security interest in such commercial tort claim to the Agent.
(q) Assignor hereby authorizes the Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to the Collateral or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as the Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Assignor under this Assignment or any other Loan Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as the Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number and state organizational number of Assignor.

(m) Assignor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent may be withheld by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, take or permit to be taken any action which could result in the sale, reduction, cancellation, dilution, diminution, conversion or withdrawal of any interest of such Assignor in any of the Companies or in any Person in which any of the Companies owns an interest, or omit to take any action necessary to prevent any such sale, reduction, cancellation, dilution, diminution, conversion or withdrawal, or otherwise take any action or omit to take any action that would, in the exercise of the Agent’s judgment, jeopardize or diminish the security interests or rights and benefits afforded to the Agent by the Collateral.

If Assignor receives any of the foregoing directly, Assignor agrees to hold such cash or other property in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and to surrender such cash or other property to the Agent immediately. In
K-12 |
the event that Assignor purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains any additional interest in the Companies or any rights or options to acquire such interest, all rights to receive profits, proceeds, accounts, income, dividends, distributions or other payments as a result of such additional interest, rights and options shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral. All certificates, if any, representing such interests shall be promptly delivered to the Agent, together with assignments related thereto, or other instruments appropriate to transfer a certificate representing any such interest, duly executed in blank. This Section 7 is subject to the terms of Section 4(e) of this Assignment.
8. Events of Default. An Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(a) Assignor shall fail to duly and fully comply with any covenant, condition or agreement in Section 5(a), 6(a), 6(c), 6(g), 6(h), 6(i), 6(m) or 7 of this Assignment;

(c) The occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents;

(e) Any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Assignor as debtor and the Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than the Agent or the Agent’s counsel without the prior written consent of the Agent and the effect of such filing is not completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Assignor thereof.
9. Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Agent may take any action deemed by the Agent to be necessary or appropriate to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Agent under this Assignment and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to any or all of the Collateral. The remedies of the Agent shall include, without limitation, all rights and remedies specified in the Loan Documents and this Assignment, all remedies of the Agent under applicable general or statutory law, and the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, regardless of whether the UCC has been enacted or enacted in that form in any other jurisdiction in which such right or remedy is asserted. In addition to such other remedies as may exist from time to time, whether
K-13 |
by way of set off, banker’s lien, consensual security interest or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent is authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to or demand upon Assignor (any such notice or demand being expressly waived by Assignor) to charge any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by the Agent to or for the credit of or the account of Assignor against any and all of the Secured Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Agent shall have made any demand for payment and although such Secured Obligations may be unmatured. Any notice required by law, including, but not limited to, notice of the intended disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral, shall be reasonable and properly given if given in the manner prescribed for the giving of notice herein, and, in the case of any notice of disposition, if given at least ten (10) days prior to such disposition. The Agent may require Assignor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at any place to be designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall be entitled to dispose of the Collateral at any public or private sale or sales, without recourse to judicial proceedings and without either demand, appraisement, advertisement or notice (except as such notice as is otherwise required under this Assignment) of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, and that the Agent shall be entitled to bid and purchase at any such sale. In the event that the Agent is the successful bidder at any public or private sale of any note or other document or instrument evidencing Assignor’s right to receive a Distribution, the Agent shall be entitled to credit the amount bid by the Agent against the obligations evidenced by such note, document or instrument rather than the Secured Obligations. In the event that the Agent is the successful bidder at any public or private sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, the amount bid by the Agent may be credited against the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement. To the extent the Collateral consists of marketable securities, the Agent shall not be obligated to sell such securities for the highest price obtainable, but shall sell them at the market price available on the date of sale. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been given. The Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from claim or right on the part of Assignor. In the event that any consent, approval or authorization of any governmental agency or commission will be necessary to effectuate any such sale or sales, Assignor shall execute all such applications or other instruments as the Agent may deem reasonably necessary to obtain such consent, approval or authorization. The Agent may notify any account debtor or obligor with respect to the Collateral to make payment directly to the Agent, and may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral as the Agent may determine whether or not the Secured Obligations or the Collateral are due, and for the purpose of realizing the Agent’s rights therein, the Agent may receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Assignor and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title or other evidences of payment, shipment or storage of any form of Collateral on behalf and in the name of Assignor, as its attorney in fact. In addition, Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact either in the name of the Agent or Assignor to (i) sign Assignor’s name on any Collateral, drafts against account debtors, assignments, any proof of claim in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving any account debtor, any notice
K-14 |
of lien, claim of lien or assignment or satisfaction of lien, or on any financing statement or continuation statement under the UCC; (ii) send verifications of accounts receivable to any account debtor; and (iii) in connection with a transfer of the Collateral as described above, sign in Assignor’s name any documents necessary to transfer title to the Collateral to the Agent or any third party. All acts of said attorney in fact are hereby ratified and approved and the Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of law or fact made in connection therewith. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any amounts remain unpaid on any of the Secured Obligations. All remedies of the Agent shall be cumulative to the full extent provided by law, all without liability except to account for property actually received, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise such rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Pursuit by the Agent of certain judicial or other remedies shall not xxxxx nor bar other remedies with respect to the Secured Obligations or to other portions of the Collateral. The Agent may exercise its rights to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of security or reimbursement for the Secured Obligations. In the event that any transfer tax, deed tax, conveyance tax or similar tax is payable in connection with the foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise of the Membership Interests, Partnership Interests or other Collateral, Assignor shall pay such amount to the Agent upon demand and if Assignor fails to pay such amount on demand, the Agent may advance such amount on behalf of Assignor and the amount thereof shall become a part of the Secured Obligations and bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.
(b) If Assignor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Assignment beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, the Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of Assignor contained in this Assignment which Assignor shall fail to perform, and the cost of such performance, together with any expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by the Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Assignor upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(c) Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and whether or not the Agent is the absolute owner of the Collateral, the Agent may take such action as the Agent may deem necessary to protect the Collateral or its security interest therein, the Agent being hereby authorized to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the reasonable judgment of the Agent appears to be prior or superior to its security interest, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorney’s fees. Any such advances made or expenses incurred by the Agent shall be deemed advanced under the Loan Documents, shall increase the indebtedness evidenced and secured thereby, shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(d) Any certificates or securities held by the Agent as Collateral hereunder may, at any time, and at the option of the Agent, be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, endorsed or assigned in blank or in the name of any nominee and the Agent may deliver any or all of the Collateral to the issuer or issuers thereof for the purpose of making denominational exchanges or registrations or transfer or for such other purposes in furtherance of this Assignment as the Agent may deem desirable. Except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, Assignor shall retain the right to vote any of the Collateral, as applicable, or
K-15 |
exercise membership or partnership rights, as applicable, in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, and the Agent hereby grants to Assignor its proxy to enable Assignor to so vote any of the Collateral or exercise such membership or partnership rights, as applicable (except that Assignor shall not have any right to exercise any such power if the exercise thereof would violate or result in a violation of any of the terms of this Assignment or any of the other Loan Documents). At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent or its nominee shall, upon notice to Assignor and the applicable Company, automatically have the sole and exclusive right to give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral about which the Agent has notified Assignor and such Company and exercise all voting and other membership, partnership, management, approval or other rights at any meeting of the members or partners of such Company (and the right to call such meetings) or otherwise (and to give written consents in lieu of voting thereon) (collectively, the “Voting Rights”), and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any of the rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto and thereunder as if the Agent or its nominee were the absolute owner thereof (all of such rights of Assignor ceasing to exist and terminating upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) including, without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of such Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or the readjustment of the issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received and in such manner as the Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for the failure to do so or delay in so doing. The exercise by the Agent of any of its rights and remedies under this Section 9(d) shall not be deemed a disposition of collateral under Article 9 of the UCC nor an acceptance by the Agent of any of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
(e) Upon the written demand of the Agent following the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent or the Agent’s designee all books, records, contracts, Leases, other loan documents, files and other correspondence relating to each Company, any other Person in which any Company has an ownership interest, or any other property owned by any Company or such other Person.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Assignment or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any reference in this Assignment or any other Loan Document to “the continuance of a default” or “the continuance of an Event of Default” or any similar phrase shall not create or be deemed to create any right of Assignor or any other party to cure any default following the expiration of any applicable grace or notice and cure period.
10. Duties of the Agent. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Agent’s duty with reference to the Collateral shall be solely to use slight care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral, which shall not include any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties. The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the collection of any Collateral or by reason of any invalidity, lack of value or uncollectability of any of the payments received by it.
K-16 |
11. No Obligations. It is specifically understood and agreed that this Assignment shall not operate to place any responsibility or obligation whatsoever upon the Agent or any of the Lenders, or cause the Agent or any of the Lenders to be, or to be deemed to be, a member or partner in any of the Companies and that in accepting this Assignment, the Agent and the Lenders neither assume nor agree to perform at any time whatsoever any obligation or duty of Assignor relating to the Collateral or under any of the Organizational Agreements of the Companies or any other mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which the Companies are a party or to which they are subject, all of which obligations and duties shall be and remain with and upon Assignor.
12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent, and the security interests hereunder, and all of the obligations secured hereby, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
(a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) Any change in the time (including any extension of the maturity date of the Note), manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan Documents;
(c) Any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations; or
(d) Any other circumstance (other than payment of the Secured Obligations in full) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Assignor, any Company or any third party for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof.
13. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Assignment nor consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and Assignor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or omission of the Agent to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Assignment to the Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Agent. Failure on the part of the Agent to complain of any act or failure to act which constitutes an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Agent of the Agent’s rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any Event of Default. Assignor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law all rights which Assignor has or may have under and by virtue of the UCC and any federal, state, county or municipal statute, regulation, ordinance, Constitution or charter, now or hereafter existing, similar in effect thereto providing any right of Assignor to notice and to a judicial hearing prior to seizure by the Agent of any of the Collateral. Assignor hereby waives and renounces for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, presentment, demand,
K-17 |
protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notice required by law or the Loan Documents) and all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption and appraisement now provided or which may hereafter be provided by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of any state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement of this Assignment and the collection of any of the Secured Obligations.
14. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Note; Release of Collateral. This Assignment shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the Lenders have no further obligation to make any advances or issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, (b) be binding upon Assignor and its permitted heirs, successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the termination or expiration of any obligation of the Lenders to make further advances or issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Assignor. Upon any such termination, the Agent will, at Assignor’s expense, execute and deliver to Assignor such documents as Assignor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
15. Modifications, Etc. Assignor hereby consents and agrees that the Agent may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent from Assignor, either with or without consideration, surrender any property or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any person, firm or corporation on its behalf or for its account, securing the Secured Obligations; substitute for any Collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind; agree to modification of the terms of the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Loan Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any guarantor, endorser or any other person or entity liable with respect to the Secured Obligations; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever; and no such action which the Agent shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the Secured Obligations or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Assignor, nor any course of dealing with Assignor or any other person, shall release Assignor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Assignment in any way or afford Assignor any recourse against Lender.
16. Securities Act. In view of the position of Assignor in relation to the Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Laws or the Organizational Agreements of the Companies with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted hereunder. Assignor recognizes that the Organizational Agreements of the Companies strictly limit transfers of the Membership Interests or Partnership Interests, as the case may be, and the admission of substitute members or partners to the Companies. Assignor understands that compliance with the Securities Laws and the Organizational Agreements of the
K-18 |
Companies might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Agent if the Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar Applicable Law analogous in purpose or effect. Assignor recognizes that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations the Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof and who are able to satisfy any conditions or requirements set forth in the Organizational Agreements of the Companies and the Agent may sell the Collateral in parcels and at such times and to such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with such conditions or requirements. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations, the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may, in accordance with Applicable Law and the Organizational Agreements of the Companies, (a) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Securities Laws (b) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale and (c) sell the Collateral in parcels and at such times and in such manner to such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with such conditions and requirements. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof at a price that the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached or if all the Collateral were sold at a single sale. Assignor further agrees that any sale or sales by the Agent of the Collateral made as provided in this Section 16 shall be commercially reasonable. The provisions of this Section 16 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Agent sells. The Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable to Assignor for any loss in value of the Collateral by reason of any delay in the sale of the Collateral.

FORM OF assignment and subordination of management agreement
The undersigned [AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL HEALTHCARE II PROPERTIES, LLC], a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), which manages, among other properties, the certain real properties described on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Property”) on behalf of AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL HEALTHCARE TRUST II, INC., a Maryland corporation (“REIT”), AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL HEALTHCARE TRUST II OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”; together with REIT, collectively, the “Owner”), and certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors, acknowledges that this Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being executed and delivered to satisfy a certain obligation of the Borrower set forth in that certain Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (together with all supplements, amendments and restatements thereto, herein referred to as the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“KeyBank”), individually and as Agent (“Agent”) for itself and the other lending institutions from time to time party to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Lenders”). Any capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as are ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
The Owner and the Manager hereby agree with Agent as follows:
1. The Manager acknowledges and understands that this Agreement is being executed and delivered to satisfy a certain obligation of Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
2. For purposes hereof, “Management Agreement” shall mean that certain [Property Management and Leasing Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2013], by and among the Manager, REIT and the Borrower, together with all other permitted amendments and supplements thereto.
3. As additional collateral security for the Loan, the Owner hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Agent all of the Owner’s rights, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present and unconditional assignment, at Agent’s option, upon an Event of Default by Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the “Assignment”).
4. The Manager hereby consents to the Assignment by the Owner of the Owner’s rights, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement with respect to the Property and to each and all of the terms and conditions thereof notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in the Management Agreement. The Manager agrees that, in the event Agent delivers written notice to the Manager that Agent is exercising its rights under the Assignment to become the “Owner” under the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, the
N-1 |
Manager will continue, at Agent’s direction, to perform services for Agent with respect to the Property, or such portion thereof, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, provided that the fees of the Manager which may be due or which thereafter become due for services rendered, reimbursement of fees and expenses and indemnification payments with respect to the Property, or such portion thereof, are paid, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, irrespective of any contrary instruments, direction or requests from the Owner. However, it is expressly understood that Agent neither assumes nor has any obligation to the Manager to exercise its rights under the Assignment or to declare a default under any Loan Document. In the event Agent exercises its rights under the Assignment, the Manager agrees that Agent shall have no obligations or liabilities under the Management Agreement or this Agreement for services performed by the Manager prior to the time Agent exercises its rights under the Assignment, but after Agent exercises its rights under the Assignment to succeed to the Owner’s interests under the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, Agent shall be obligated for all services subsequently performed with respect to the Property, or such portion thereof, and shall be bound by the terms and provisions contained therein.
5. The Management Agreement, and any rights and claims of the Manager against the Owner thereunder with respect to the Property, is and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to (a) the Loan Documents and the rights and claims of Agent and the Lenders thereunder, and (b) any and all modifications, amendments, renewals, restatements or substitutions of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Manager shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of expenses and, on a monthly basis, its management fees for services rendered with respect to the Property in accordance with the Management Agreement pursuant to the payment procedures outlined therein. This Section 5 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. If requested, however, the Owner or the Manager shall execute and deliver such further instruments as Agent may deem reasonably necessary to effectuate this subordination.
6. In the event that there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Manager shall (a) unless and until terminated by Agent in accordance with Section 7 or by the Manager in accordance with Section 9 below, as applicable, continue performance under the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, (b) not (i) demand or accept any payment under or in respect of the Management Agreement with respect to the Property or (ii) take any action to obtain any interest in any of the security described in and encumbered by the Loan Documents because of any obligation under the Management Agreement and (c) hold any compensation received by the Manager with respect to the Property as trustee for Agent and pay over to Agent such compensation on account of the Obligations. The Owner and the Manager understand, however, that nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to obligate Agent to perform or discharge any of the obligations, duties or liabilities of the Owner under the Management Agreement.
7. Upon the occurrence of any default by any Owner under the terms of the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof (including, but not limited to, nonpayment of fees due the Manager but not paid by reason of the subordination of
N-2 |
fees provided for herein) in respect of which the Manager has elected to exercise any right or remedy, the Manager shall, concurrently with the Manager’s delivery of notice thereof to Owner, provide Agent with notice in writing thereof (which notice may consist of a copy of the notice provided by the Manager to the Owner), and after receipt of said notice, Agent shall have the same time period within which to cure said default as the Owner has under the Management Agreement (plus an additional thirty (30) days) although the Owner and the Manager understand that Agent shall not have any obligation to do so. Furthermore, the Owner and the Manager agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Management Agreement, Agent may immediately terminate, upon written notice to the Manager and without the payment of any cancellation or termination fee or penalty or other liability, the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event that Agent elects to terminate the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, in accordance with this Section 7, the Owner and the Manager understand and agree that the Manager shall look solely to the Owner for any and all fees, charges or other sums payable to the Manager under the Management Agreement, including any out-of-pocket costs properly incurred by the Manager; provided, however, that if Agent has delivered to the Manager a written notice that Agent has exercised its rights to become the “Owner” under the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, pursuant to Section 4, and subsequently elects to terminate the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 7, then the Manager may look to Agent for payment of such fees and costs incurred with respect to the Property, or such portion thereof, from the date Agent became the “Owner” under the Management Agreement to the date of termination of the Management Agreement to the extent provided in Section 4. If the Management Agreement shall be terminated by Agent with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, in accordance with this Section 7, the Manager agrees to cooperate with Agent to ensure a smooth transition to the new property manager to be selected by Agent.
8. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and their successors and assigns. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict with the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Management Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
9. The Manager agrees that it shall not change, amend, modify in any material respect or terminate the Management Agreement as it relates to the Property without Agent’s prior written approval in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Manager does so amend, modify or terminate the Management Agreement in violation of this Section 9, such amendment, modification or termination shall be void ab initio with respect to the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 9 shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise restrict the right of the Manager to terminate the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement by reason of default by the Owner thereunder after compliance by the Manager with Section 7 hereof.
10. This Agreement shall pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.
N-3 |
11. Without limiting the generality of any other provisions contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, no failure on the part of Agent or the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and are not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law or in equity.
12. The Manager represents and warrants to Agent that as of the date hereof (a) the Management Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, assigned, terminated or supplemented, (b) the Manager is not in default under the provisions of the Management Agreement and there is no condition which, with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time, would constitute such a default and (c) to the best of the Manager’s knowledge, the Owner is not in default under the provisions of the Management Agreement and there is no condition which, with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time, would constitute such a default.
13. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, terminated or supplemented without the written approval of the Manager, the Owner and Agent.
14. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
