As an inducement to Lender to execute this Agreement and to make each
disbursement of the Loan, Borrower hereby covenants as follows:
7.1 No Liens; Permitted Contests. Borrower shall not cause or permit any
Lien to be placed or assessed against the Land or the Facilities or the
operation thereof, or permit any receiver, trustee or assignee for the
benefit of creditors to be appointed to take possession of the Facilities, or
any portion thereof; provided, however, Borrower shall be permitted in good

of
any Lien upon the Facilities by appropriate proceedings sufficient to prevent

any (iii) any interference with the use or occupancy of the Facilities, (iv)
any interference with the payment of any amounts due under the Loan

to assure the payment, compliance, discharge, removal and/or other action in

and penalties that may be or become due in connection therewith. Borrower
further agrees that each contest permitted by this Section 7.1 shall be
promptly and diligently prosecuted to a final conclusion by Borrower.
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save Lender harmless against,
any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs (including all reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with any such contest and shall,
promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay and
discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or
be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with
all penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses thereof or in connection
therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or
decreed as a result thereof. In the event Borrower does not comply with the
provisions of this Section 7.1, Lender may, but shall not be required to,
procure the release of any such Lien and in furtherance thereof may, in its
sole discretion, effect any settlement or compromise with respect thereto.
Any amounts expended by Lender in settling, compromising or arranging for the
release of any Lien shall bear interest at the Agreed Rate from the date of
expenditure by Lender and shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Lender.
7.2 Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower, at its expense, shall
promptly (a) comply with all applicable Legal Requirements as well as the
certification requirements of Medicare and Medicaid (or any successor
programs)
with respect to the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the
Facilities, whether or not compliance therewith shall
require structural changes in any of the Improvements or interfere with the
use
and enjoyment of the Facilities, and (b) procure, maintain and comply with all
licenses, agreements and other authorizations required for the proper
erection,
installation, operation and maintenance of the Facilities or any part thereof.
Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower's use of the
Facilities and the maintenance, alteration, and operation of the same, and all
parts thereof, shall at all times conform to all Legal Requirements. Borrower
shall promptly give written notice to Lender of any violation of any Legal
Requirement. Borrower and Lender have expressly agreed that Borrower's
obligation under this Agreement to comply with Legal Requirements as to the
Facilities specifically includes the requirement that Borrower comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 1201 et seq, and all
rules and regulations adopted thereunder.
7.3 Use of the Facilities. Borrower shall continuously use or cause to be
used the Facilities only for the Intended Use. Except with the prior written
consent of Lender, Borrower shall not decrease, or permit a decrease in, the
number of units available for residential occupancy or licensed beds being
used
for the Intended Use. No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the
Facilities, and no acts shall be done to or upon the Facilities, which will
cause the cancellation of, or make void or voidable, any insurance policy
covering the Facilities or any part thereof, nor shall Borrower sell or
otherwise provide to any Person therein, or permit to be kept, used or sold
in or about the Facilities any article which may be prohibited by law or by
any insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriter's
regulations. Borrower shall not use or occupy the Facilities or permit the
Facilities to be used or occupied, in a manner which would or might (a)

impossible to obtain fire or other insurance which Borrower is required to
furnish hereunder at commercially reasonable rates, (c) cause structural
injury to any of the

7.4 Payment of Impositions. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1
relating to permitted contests, Borrower will pay, or cause to be paid prior
to delinquency, directly to the applicable Governmental Authority or Person,
all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for
non-payment, and Borrower will promptly, upon request by Lender, furnish to
Lender copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such
payments. Within ten (10) days after receipt thereof Borrower will deliver to
Lender copies of all settlements and notices pertaining to the Impositions
which
may be issued by any Governmental Authority or Person. If any such Imposition
may, at the option of Borrower, lawfully be paid without penalty in
installments
(whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition),
Borrower may exercise the option to pay such Imposition,
and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance, in installments before any
fine,
penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will pay or reimburse
Lender for all Impositions which are sales, use, single business, gross
receipts, transaction privilege, rent or other excise taxes which are levied
or imposed upon or measured by any amount payable under the Loan Documents
7.5 Other Facilities. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower's ability to
repay
the Loan is dependent, in part, upon the concentration by Borrower, Guarantor
and their respective Affiliates of all of their business within the
geographical area in which the Facilities are located upon Borrower's
business at the Facilities so as to maximize the gross revenues earned by
Borrower therefrom, and Borrower further acknowledges that any activity by
Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates within the geographical
area of the Facilities in operating or participating in the operation of a
similar or competing business must necessarily have an adverse effect on the
gross revenues at the Facilities. Therefore, Borrower agrees that until the
Loan and all other amounts owing to Lender under the Loan Documents have
been paid in full, Lender shall be provided with the right of first refusal
to enter into sale/leaseback financing transactions with Borrower, Guarantor
and/or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any other
facility or institution (an "Other Facility" or the "Other Facilities")
providing services or goods similar to those provided on or in connection
with the Facilities and the Intended Use thereof within a five (5) mile
radius of any one of the Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
terms "Other Facility" and "Other Facilities" shall not include any such
facility or institution that is either owned by Lender or financed by Lender.
Upon a breach by Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates of
any of the provisions of this Section 7.5, Lender shall be entitled to
exercise any and all remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.
In connection with any such exercise of remedies by Lender, Borrower shall
have the burden of proving that Lender could have reasonably mitigated its
damages.
7.6 Hazardous Material Covenants. Borrower shall at its expense comply,
and
cause its agents, employees, contractors, partners, directors, officers and
shareholders, to comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws, including, without
limitation, obtaining and filing all applicable notices, permits, licenses and
similar authorizations. Borrower shall not create or permit to
continue in existence any lien upon the Facilities or any portion thereof
pursuant to Hazardous Materials Laws. Subject to the provisions of Section
7.3,
Borrower shall not change or alter any use of the Facilities or any portion
thereof unless Borrower shall have notified Lender thereof in writing and
Lender
shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that
such change or modification will not result in the presence of Hazardous
Materials on the Facilities or any portion thereof in such a level that would
increase the potential liability for Hazardous Materials Claims. If Borrower
fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.7, Lender may, at its
sole
option, but without any obligation so to do, take any and all actions as
Lender shall deem necessary to cure such failure. Any amounts so paid by
Lender,
together with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure at the Agreed
Rate, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Lender.
7.7 Environmental Matters.
(a) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.6, Borrower covenants and
agrees that it will not engage in nor will it permit the performance of any
Environmental Activities in connection with the Facilities or any portion
thereof, to the extent any such Environmental Activities would violate
any Hazardous Materials Laws. In the event any Environmental Activities occur
in
violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws, Borrower shall promptly and at its
sole cost and expense, (I) notify Lender of such occurrence in writing, (ii)
obtain all permits and approvals necessary to remedy any such suspected
problem
through the removal of Hazardous Materials or otherwise; and (iii) upon
Lender's
approval of the remediation plan, remedy any such problem to the
satisfaction of Lender, in accordance with all Hazardous Materials Laws and
good
business practices.
(b) Borrower shall immediately advise Lender in writing of (i) any and all
Hazardous Materials Claims against Borrower or the Facilities or any portion
thereof, (ii) any remedial action taken by Borrower in response to any (A)
Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Facilities or any portion thereof
in
violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws or (B) Hazardous Materials
Claims, and (iii) Borrower s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any
of
the Adjoining Property or in the vicinity of the Facilities that could cause
the
Facilities or any part thereof to be classified as "border-zone property"
under
the provisions of any applicable law of the State,
or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy,
transferability or use of the Facilities or any portion thereof under any
Hazardous Materials Laws. In addition, Borrower shall provide Lender with

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
521,500,000 May 14, 1997
1. Principal.
For value received, in installments as herein provided, WINDWARD NURSING
CENTER,
INC., a Georgia corporation; HEALTHCARE FACILITIES LIMITED PARTERRSHIP I, a
Louisiana limited partnership; OAK MANOR NURSING HOME, LTD., a Florida limited
partnership, and CENTRAL TAMPA NURSING HONIE, LTD., a Florida limited
partnership (collectively, "Maker"), promises to pay to the order of
NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC., a Maryland corporation ("Holder"), at its
office at 610 Newport Center Drive. Suite 1150, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000, or at such other place as the Holder hereof may from time tO time
designate in writing, the principal sum of Twenty-One Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($21,500,000), or so much thereof as shall from time to
time be outstanding hereunder, together with accrued interest from the date
of disbursement on the unpaid principal at the applicable rate as set forth
in Paragraph 4. This Note is issued pursuant to, entitled to the benefits of
and referred to as the Note in that certain Loan Agreement (the ~Loan
Agreement") of even date herewith between Maker and Holder. Initially-
capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
2. Maturity Date.
The unpaid principal balance hereof, together with all unpaid Total Interest
(as
hereinaRer defined) accrued thereon, and all other amounts payable by Maker
under the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on June 1,
2009 (the "Maturity Date"). If the Maturity Date should fall on a day
that is not a Business Day, payment of the outstanding principal shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be
included
in computing any interest in respect of such payment.
3. Prepayment.
Maker shall have no right to prepay the Eoan, in whole or in part, prior to
June
1, 2006. Provided no Event of Default then exists under any of the Loan
Documents from and after June 1, 2006 Maker shall have the privilege, upon
ninety (90) days advance written notice, of prepaying the outstanding
principal balance under this Note together with the Yield Maintenance
Premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prepayment is deemed to have
occurred prior to June 1, 2006 because Holder has exercised its remedies as a
result of an Event of Default by Maker under the Loan Documents, Maker shall
pay the full amount of the outstanding principal balance under this Note, all
accrued but unpaid interest and other sums owed to Holder under this Note and
the other Loan Documents, together with the Yield Maintenance Premium. In no
event shall the foregoing be deemed or construed to allow Maker to
voluntarily prepay the Loan prior to June 1, 2C06. As used herein, "Yield
Maintenance Premium" shall mean the amount calculated as follows:
(a) Calculate the Rein,,estment Yield. The "Reinvestment Yield" shall be
the annualized yield, as published in The Wall Street Journal five (5)
business days prior to the date of prepayment, on the United States Treasury
notes having the closest maturity date (month and year) to the Maturity Date.
If the Reinvestment Yield is greater than or equal to the interest rate
then in effect with respect to the Loan, the Yield Maintenance Premium shall
be
equal to zero.
(b) Calculate the Reinvestment Pavrnents. The"Reinvestment Payments"
shall
be the monthly interest payments that would be received by Holder through the
Maturity Date, if the principal amount prepaid or deemed prepaid were to be
invested at the Reinvestment Yield.
(c) Calculate the Payment Differential. The "Payment Differential" shall
be
computed on a monthly basis from the date the Loan is prepaid or deemed
prepaid
until the Maturity Date and shall be equal to the difference between the
Reinvestment Payments and the Basic Interest payments to be made by Maker
during
such period pursuant to Paraeraph 4 below.
(d) Calculate the Yield Maintenance Premium. The "Yield Maintenance
Premium" shall be the present value of the Payment Differential for the
number of months (or partial months) remaining from the date the Loan is
prepaid or deemed prepaid to the Maturity Date discounted at the Reinvestment
Yield.
In no event shall the foregoing be deemed or construed to allow Maker to
voluntarily prepay the Loan except as expressly provided herein.
4. Payments of Principal and Interest.
(a) Commencing on the 1st day of June, 1997 and continuing on the 1st day of
each calendar month thereafter through the Maturity Date, Maker shall make
monthly payments of Basic Interest (as hereinafter deftned). Subject to the
provisions of subparagraph (f) below, commencing with the third Loan Year and
in
addition to the Basic Interest, Maker shall make monthly payments of Cash Flow
Interest (as hereinafter defined). As used herein, "Cash [low Interest" shall
mean, with respect to any given Loan Year, an amount equal to ten percent
(10%)
of the Incremental Revenues for such Loan Year.
(b) Commencing on the Loan Closing Date, the unpaid principal balance hereof
shall bear interest at the following ratec (the "Basic Interes,t"): (i)
commencing on the date of disbursement of any proceeds of the Loan by Holder
and
continuing through the first Loan Year, a per annum rate equal to Ten and
Seventy-Eight one hundredths percent (10.78%); and (ii) during the second Loan
Year and thereafter, a per annum rate equal to Eleven and Three one-hundredths
percent (11.03%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the e~ent that Holder or
its
Affiliates, as landlord, and NewCare or its Affiliates, as tenant, have failed
for any reason whatsoever by December 1, 1998 to enter into lease financing
transactions for healthcare facilities w ith respect to which Holder and/or
its
Affiliates have invested at least Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000),
Basic Interest shall be retroactively increased to the
following rates: (x) commencing on the date of disbursement of any proceeds of
the Loan by Holder and continuing through the first Loan Year, a per annum
rate
equal to Ten and Ninety-Three one-hundredths percent (10.93%); and (y) during
the Second Loan Year and thereafter, a per annum rate equal to Eleven and
Eighteen one-hundredths percent (11.18 % ). All accrued and unpaid interest
through November 30, 1998 which results from any such retroactive increase
in Basic Interest shall be due and payable on December 1, 1998 (the "Accrued
Basic Interest"). The total Basic Interest and Cash Flow Interest required to
be paid by Maker from time to time shall be referred to herein as the "Total
Interest."
(c) Maker shall calculate Cash Flow Interest on each Adjustment Date for the
portion of the Loan Year then completed based upon Maker's good faith estimate
of Incremental Revenues for the portion of the Loan Year then completed equal
to
Gross Revenues for the months of the applicable Loan Year then completed,
minus
Gross Revenues for the same months of the Base Year. Within forty-five (45)
days
of each third Adjustment Date in each Loan Year following the Base Year, Maker
shall deliver to Holder a certificate in the form attached as Exhibit C to the
Loan Agreement setting forth the foregoing calculation for the portion of the
Loan Year then completed. If the dollar amount resulting from such calculation
exceeds the cumulative Cash Flow Interest previously paid to Holder by Maker
with respect to such Loan Year, Maker shall a company such certificate with a
payment of Cash Flow Interest equal to such excess. If the cumulative Cash
Flow Interest previously paid to Holder by Maker with respect to such Loan
Year exceeds the dollar amount resulting from such calculation, Holder shall
apply such excess amount to the next succeeding payment of interest or
principal, as applicable, due from Maker pursuant to this Note.
(d) Within sixty (60) days of the end of each Loan Year, Maker shall deliver
to
Holder a report in the form attached as Exhibit D to the Loan Agreement,
certified by an officer of Maker, setting forth the actual Gross Revenues for
the Loan Year then just ended and the final calculation of Cash Flow Interest
for such Loan Year.
(e) If the final Cash Flow Interest as shown in the repon delivered to Holder
pursuant to subparagraph (d), abose, exceeds the cumulative payments of Cash
Flow Interest previously paid by Maker with respect to such Loan Year, Maker
shall pay such excess to Holder concurrently with Maker's delivery of such
report. If the Cash Flow Interest for such Loan Year as finally determined is
less than the amount of Cash Flow Interest previously paid to Holder by
SIaker with respect to such Loan Year, Holder shall apply such excess amount
to the next succeeding payment of interest or principal, as applicable, due
from Maker pursuant to this Note. Any adjustments to Cash Flow Interest as
provided in this subparagraph (e) shall be deemed to be an adjustment of the
Cash Flow Interest payable for the Loan Year in which such adjustment is made.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the provisions of
subparagraph
(g) below, commencing with the Third Loan Year and continuing through the
final
Loan Year, in no event shall (i) the Total Interest payable by Maker for any
given Loan Year increase by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%) from the
sum of the Total Interest payable by Maker during the immediately preceding
Loan
Year; and (ii) the Cash Flow Interest payable by Maker decrease from the sum
of
the Cash Flow Interest payable by Maker during the immediately preceding Loan
Year. To the extent that this subparagraph (f) serves to reduce or increase
any
amounts which would otherwise be payable by Malcer under this Note, Holder may
elect, in its sole discretion, to account for such reduction or increase as a
reduction or increase of Basic Interest or Cash Flow Interest. If this
subparagraph (f) results in an overpayment by Maker, Holder shall apply the
amount of such overpayment to the next amounts due under this Note in such
order
as Holder may elect.
(g) For the purpose of comparing the Total Interest from Loan Year to Loan
Year
pursuant to subparagraph (f) above, any increase in Basic Interest by reason
of
any disbursement by Holder of any portion of the Final Loan Advance and/or the
accrual of Basic Interest pursuant to subparagraph (b) above shall be treated
as
follows: (I) for the purpose of comparing the Total Interest in the Loan Year
in
which such disbursement or accrual is made against the Tota1 Interest in the
preceding Loan Year, such increase in Basic Interest shall be ignored, and
(ii)
for the purpose of comparing the Total Interest in the Loan Year following the
Loan Year in which such disbursements or accrual are made to the Total
Interest
in the Loan Year in which such disbursements or accrual are made, the increase
in Basic Interest resulting from such disbursements or accrual shall be deemed
effective on the first day of the Loan Year iQ which such disbursement and/or
accrual is made.
(h) All interest payments required to be made by Maker under this Note shall
be
due and payable monthly (i) with respect to interest for the month of May,
1997,
on June 1, 1997; and (ii) with respect to interest for the month of June, 1997
and each month thereafter, on the first day of the month after which such
interest accrues.
(i) All payments of principal and interest due hereunder shall be made
without
deduction of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges
or withholdings from or on payments due from Maker (excluding taxation of the
overall net income of Holder), which amounts shall be paid by Maker. Maker
will
pay the amounts necessar`; such that the gross amount of the principal and
interest received by Holder is not less than that required by this Note. All
stamp and documentary taxes shall be paid by Maker. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, Holder pays such taxes, Maker will reimburse Holder for the amount
paid. Maker will furnish Holder with official
tax receipts or other evidence of payment of all taxes.
(j) Throughout the term of this Note, interest shall be calculated on the
basis
of a 360 day year and shall be computed on the basis of a 30-day month. If any
payment of interest to be made by Maker hereunder shall become due on a day
which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in
computing any interest in respect of such payment.
5. Lawful Money
Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of
America.
6. Applications of Payments; Late Charges.
(a) Except as provided in subparacraph 4(f), any payments received by Holder
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be applied first to sums, other than
principal and interest, due Holder pursuant to the Loan Documents, next to
the payment of all interest accrued to the date of such payment, and the
balance, if any, to the payment of principal.
(b) Maker acknowledges that the late payment of any amount due hereunder will
cause Holder tO lose the use of such money and incur costs and expenses not
contemplated under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses,
the
exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore, if any
installment of Basic Interest or other charges due under the Loan Documents is
not received by Holder on the due date thereof, then in addition to the
remedies
conferred upon Holder pursuant to Paragraph 10 hereof and the other Loan
Documents, (1) a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount due and unpaid
will be added to the delinquent amount to compensate Holder for the expense of
handling the delinquency (a "Late Charge"); provided, however, such Late
Charge
shall be imposed on the date when such payment is due subsequent to any time
that Maker fails to make installment payments within five (5) days of the due
date thereof either for (A) three (3) consecutive months, or (B) four (4)
months in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, and (2) the amount due
and unpaid, including the Late Charge, shall bear interest at the lesser of
the highest annual rate which may lawfully be charged and collected
under applicable law on the obligation evidenced by this Note or an annual
rate
which shall be four percent (4$) higher than the Basic Interest (the "Agreed
Rate"), computed from the date on which the amount was due and payable until
paid.
7. Security.
This Note is secured by, inter alia, the Mortgages. which Mortgages create a
first prioriry lien on the Facilities, and by the Debt Service Reserve Pledge
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable.
8. Acceleration by Reason of Transfer.
(a) Each of the Mortgages contains the following limitation on the right of
Maker to transfer any of the Facilities:
"Transfer of Collateral by Mortgagor. The financial stability and managerial
and
operational ability of Mortgagor and NewCare are substantial and material
considerations to Mortgagee in its agreement to make the loan to Mortgagor
upon
the terms set forth in, and to accept from Mortgagor, the Loan
Documents. Mortgagor understands and acknowledges that a transfer of the
Collateral may significantly and materially alter and reduce Mortgagee's
security or the indebtedness evidenced or guarantied by the Note, the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as the case may be. Therefore, in
order to induce Mortgagee to make the loan secured hereby, Mortgagor agrees
that, except as expressly permitted hereunder, Mortgagor will not transfer
the Collateral, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. In the event
of any transfer of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, that is not
expressly permitted hereunder and is without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall have the absolute right at its option, without
prior demand or notice, to declare all of the Obligations immediately due and
payable. Consent to one such transfer shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
the requirement of consent to future or successive transfers. If consent
should be given to a transfer and if this Instrument is not released to the
extent of the transferred portion of the Collateral by a writing signed by
Mortgagee and recorded in the proper city, town, county or parish records,
then any such transfer shall be subject to this Instrument and any such
transferee shall assume all obligations hereunder and agree to be bound by
all provisions contained herein. Any such assumption shall not, however,
release Mortgagor or any maker or guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced or
guarantied by the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
as the case may be, from any liability thereunder without the prior written
consent of Mortgagee. As used herein, "transfer" shall include (i) the sale,
agreement to sell, transfer or conveyance of the Collateral or any portion
thereof or interest therein, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of
law
or otherwise; (ii) the execution of any installment land sale contract or
similar instrument affecting all or a portion of the Collateral; (iii)
the lease or sublease of all or a portion of the Collateral (excluding leases
in
the ordinary course of business to occupants of the Premises); (iv) the use of
any part of the surface, or subsurface to a depth of 500 feet below the
surface,
of the Premises for the prospecting or drilling for, or the
production (including injection and other production or withdrawal
operations),
mining, extraction, storing or removal of, any oil. gas or other minerals
whether from the Premises or elsewhere; (v) any transfer by way of security,
including the placing or the permitting of the placing, subsequent to the
date hereof, of any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, assignment
of rents or other security device on the Premises or any part thereof, or
(vi) any transfer, sale, convesance, encumbrance or other disposition of the
stock, partnership interest or beneficial interest in Mortgagor or NewCare,
or the occurrence of any other event which may or does cause a change in
control of Mortgagor or NewCare. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the transfer, on a cumulative basis, of twenty-f~ve percent (25%)
or more of the voting or ownership control of Mortgagor to any Person (or in
the aggregate to any Persons which are Affiliates of such Person) shall be
deemed to constitute a change in control of Mortgagor for the purposes
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "transfer" as used herein shall not
include any of the following events: any transfer, sale, conveyance or other
disposition of the stock, partnership interest or beneficial interest in
Mortgagor or NewCare to an Affiliate of Mortgagor or NewCare or in
connection with a stock or other securities offering of Mortgagor or NewCare
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The covenants set
forth herein shall run with the Land and remain in full force and effect
until all of the Obligations are paid and fully performed, and Mortgagee may,
without notice to Mortgagor, deal with any transferees with reference to the
Obligations in the same manner as the Mortgagor, without in any way altering
or discharging Mortgagor's liability or the liability of any guarantor of
Mortgagor with respect thereto."
9. Event of Default.
The occurrence of any of the following shall be deemed to be an event of
default
("Event of Default") hereunder:
(a) a default in the payment of principal or interest (including, without
limitation, Basic Interest, Accrued Basic Interest, Cash Flow Interest or
interest at the Agreed Rate) within five (5) days of when due pursuant to the
terms hereof; or
(b) the occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents or
under any deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, lease assigarnent,
guaranty or other agreement (including any amendment, modification or
extension
thereof now or hereafter securing this Note.
10. Remedies.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any cure
period
therefor as provided in the Loan Agreement, then at the option of Holder, the
entire balance of principal together with all accrued interest thereon and the
Yield Maintenance Premium shall, without demand or notice, immediately become
due and payable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and so long as
such Event of Default shall continue), the entire balance of principal
together with all accrued interest shall bear interest at the Agreed Rate.
No delay or omission on the part of the holder hereof in exercising any right
under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents hereof shall
operate as a uaiver of such right.
1 1. Waiver.
