Section 4.01 Borrower Representations. Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
(a) | Organization. Each Borrower Party has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Each Borrower Party is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Each Borrower Party possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. The sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Homes and Home Leases and future manufactured homes and leases of such manufactured homes which it acquires or enters into after the date hereof. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the attached Schedule 4.01(a). |
(b) | Proceedings. Each Borrower Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Borrower Party and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower Party enforceable against each Borrower Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). |
(c) | No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Borrower Party will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any Borrower Party pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which any Borrower Party is a party or by which any Borrower Party’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation in any material respect of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Borrower Party or any Borrower Party’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect. |
(d) | Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.01(d) attached hereto, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Borrower Party or any Home or Lease or Lease Services Agreement, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against such Borrower Party or any Home or Lease or Lease Services Agreement, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. |
28
(e) | Agreements. No Borrower Party is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any Borrower Party or any of the Homes or Leases or Lease Services Agreement. Borrower does not have any financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any Home or Lease or Lease Services Agreement are otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Homes, (b) obligations under the Loan Documents, and (c) the obligations set forth on Schedule 5.02(a), and (c) as to as Existing Combined Leases or Existing HAP Leases only, the Community Owner Secured Debt. |
(f) | Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable title to each Home and Home Lease and is the holder of the rights under the Lease Services Agreement, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the applicable Homes (as currently used) and Home Leases or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Security Agreement, together with the title certificates and Power of Attorney for each Home to be delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(e) and any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on each Home, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty including Home Leases, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Homes which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. |
(g) | Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, or believes that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any Borrower or such constituent Persons. |
29
(h) | Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by any Borrower Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading in any material respect. There is no material fact presently known to any Borrower Party which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can reasonably foresee, could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect, any Home or Lease or Lease Services Agreement or Community Agreement or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower Party. |

Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents. |
(j) | Compliance.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that could be reasonably expected to have a materially adverse effect on any Home or Lease or Lease Servicing Agreement, or the operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements. |
(l) | Condemnation.

All roads necessary for the use of each Home for their current respective purposes have been completed and, if required, dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities. |

(q) | Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and no Borrower Party has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto. |
31
(r) | No Prior Assignment.

Borrower shall keep and maintain all Licenses necessary for the operation of each Home and each Home Lease. The use being made of each Home is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for such Home. |
(v) | Flood Zone.

32
(x) | Leases. If requested by Lender, Borrower has delivered to Lender true and complete copies of all existing Leases (including true and complete copies of all renewals, amendments and modifications thereto).

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from each Home for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.04(b)(i) hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance; |

Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Homes and the Leases, Lease Service Agreement, each Community Agreement, and the Security Agreement has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. |
(b) | With respect to Borrower, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Home or Home Lease for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Home or Home Lease, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Homes or Home Leases, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the collateral evidenced by the Loan Documents in any manner and for any amounts secured by such Loan Documents then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose on any collateral evidenced by the Loan Documents to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose on any collateral evidenced by the Loan Documents to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Loan Documents as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Homes shall remain subject to the Lien in favor of the Lender to secure payment of sums secured by the Loan Documents and not previously recovered. |
58
(c) | Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any actual, out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. |
(d) | Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall be under no further obligation to make any further Advances. |
Section 7.03 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against any Borrower Party pursuant to the Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to a Borrower Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by such Borrower Party or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Article IX. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.01 Survival; Assignment. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party.

Lender may transfer, assign, sell and/or grant participations in the Loan, in whole and in part, and may furnish any transferee, assignee, purchaser or participant or prospective transferee, assignee, purchaser or participant with any and all documents and information (including without limitation, financial information) relating to any Borrower Party that Lender deems advisable in connection therewith. Borrower’s indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents shall also apply with respect to any transferee, assignee, purchaser or participant and the directors, officers, agents and employees of any transferee, assignee, purchaser or participant. In the event of any such transfer, assignment, sale or participation, the Lender and the parties to such transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of the Lender as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent they agree among, themselves. In connection with any such transfer, assignment, sale or participation, each Borrower Party further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of such Borrower Party to each transferee, assignee, purchaser, or participant of Lender, and upon written request by this Lender, each Borrower Party shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such transfer, assignment, sale or participation, as the case may be.
Section 9.02 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender, unless expressly otherwise set forth in this Agreement, and shall be final and conclusive.

Section 9.10 Preferences.

63

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender. |
Section 9.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 9.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) | Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Homes and the Home Leases other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. |
(b) | This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so. |

All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates or investors shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
Section 9.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower and others with interests in Borrower and of the Homes and Home Leases, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Liens evidenced by the Loan Documents and agree not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Homes or the Home Leases for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Homes or the Home Leases or the Homes or Home Leases in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Liens evidenced by the Loan Documents, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Homes or Home Leases require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Home or Home Lease or any combination of the Homes or Home Leases before proceeding against any other Home or Home Lease or combination of Homes or Home Leases; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Homes.
65
Section 9.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 9.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of financings and other transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 9.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 9.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 9.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written.
