Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Acquisition of Indiana Communities

 

On May 12, 2011, we announced that we have entered into agreements, or the Purchase Agreements, to acquire six senior living communities located in Indiana.  The aggregate purchase price, excluding closing costs, is approximately $122.8 million, including the assumption of approximately $19.5 million of mortgage loans secured by three of the communities.  We expect to acquire these communities starting in June 2011, subject to various conditions to closing, including required regulatory approvals and lender consents for our assumption of the mortgage loans.

 

The six communities primarily offer independent and assisted living services which are paid by residents from their private resources.  The 738 living units in these communities include 191 independent living apartments, 525 assisted living suites and 22 suites which offer specialized Alzheimer’s care.  The current occupancy rate at these six communities is 91%.

 

We expect to fund the cash portion of the purchase price, equal to approximately $103.3 million, with the proceeds of a bridge loan, or the Bridge Loan, from Senior Housing Properties Trust, or SNH, for up to $80 million and by using cash on hand and drawings under our $35 million revolving secured line of credit.  See “Bridge Loan” below for more information about the Bridge Loan.

 

We were a 100% owned subsidiary of SNH before December 31, 2001, when SNH distributed substantially all of our then outstanding shares of common stock to its shareholders.  In order to effect this spin off and to govern relations after the spin off, we entered into a transaction agreement with SNH under which, among other things, we agreed that, so long as we are a tenant of SNH or so long as we have a business management agreement with Reit Management & Research LLC, or RMR, we will not acquire or finance any real estate of a type then owned or financed by SNH or any other company managed by RMR without first giving SNH or the other company managed by RMR, as applicable, the opportunity to acquire or finance real estate investments of the type in which SNH or the other company managed by RMR, respectively, invests.  In connection with the Purchase Agreements, SNH waived this right of first refusal to acquire the six communities.

 

See “Information Regarding Certain Relationships” below for more information about our dealings and relationships with SNH and RMR.

 

The descriptions of the Purchase Agreements are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreements (including the amendments thereto), copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 to 10.15 of this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Bridge Loan

 

As described above, we expect to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the six communities located in Indiana with the proceeds of the Bridge Loan.  On May 12, 2011, we and SNH entered into a loan agreement, or the Bridge Loan Agreement, under which SNH has agreed to lend us up to $80 million to fund our purchases under the Purchase Agreements.  The Bridge Loan will be secured by mortgages on three of the senior living communities in Indiana that we intend to acquire as described above and on four

of our senior living communities in North Carolina, in each case including related furniture, fixtures and equipment.

 

The Bridge Loan matures on July 1, 2012 and bears interest at a rate equal to the annual rates of interest applicable to SNH’s borrowings under its revolving credit facility, plus 1%.  The Bridge Loan Agreement contains various covenants, including restrictions on our ability to incur liens upon or dispose of the collateral securing the Bridge Loan.  The Bridge Loan Agreement also contains events of default, including non-payment, a change in control of us, and certain events of insolvency.  We also agreed that, in certain circumstances, if SNH acquires one or more of the Indiana communities securing the Bridge Loan pursuant to provisions of the Bridge Loan Agreement, we will enter a lease of those communities.  The terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement were reviewed and approved by special committees of each of our Board of Directors and SNH’s board of trustees composed solely of our Independent Directors and independent trustees who are not also Directors or trustees of the other party and who were represented by separate counsel.

 

The description of the Bridge Loan Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bridge Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.16 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Operation of Southeast Communities

 

In March 2011, SNH announced that it had agreed to acquire 20 senior living communities located in five states in the Southeast United States.  SNH has advised us that it expects to acquire these communities starting in June 2011.  The 20 senior living communities primarily offer independent and assisted living services which are primarily paid by residents from their private resources.  The 2,111 living units in these communities include 814 independent living apartments, 939 assisted living suites, 311 suites which offer specialized Alzheimer’s care and 47 skilled nursing beds.  On May 12, 2011, we entered into agreements to manage 15 of these 20 communities, or the Managed Communities, under long term contracts with SNH.  We expect to lease the remaining five communities from SNH, or the Leased Communities, when it acquires them.

 

Under the management contracts for the Managed Communities and a related pooling agreement, which we collectively refer to as the Management Contracts, we will be paid a management fee equal to 3% of the Gross Revenues, as defined in the Management Contracts, realized at the Managed Communities, which we expect to be approximately $1.8 to $2.0 million during the first year based on the results of the Managed Communities in 2010, plus an incentive fee equal to 35% of the Net Operating Income, as defined in the Management Contracts, after payment to SNH of an agreed upon minimum return equal to 8% of Invested Capital, as defined in the Management Contracts.  The Management Contracts have an initial term of 20 years, and we have options of two consecutive renewal terms of 15 years each to extend all, but not less than all, of the Management Contracts.  We have a limited right to require underperforming facilities subject to the Management Contracts to be sold, and after December 31, 2017, SNH has the right to terminate the Management Contracts if it does not receive its minimum return in each of three consecutive years, subject to certain cure rights.  The terms of the Management Contracts were reviewed and approved by special committees of each of our Board of Directors and SNH’s board of trustees composed solely of our Independent Directors and independent trustees who are not also Directors or trustees of the other party and who were represented by separate counsel.

 

The Leased Communities would be added to the leases currently existing between us and SNH that we refer to as Lease No. 1, Lease No. 2 and Lease No. 4, or the Lease Additions.  We expect our aggregate minimum rent under those leases to increase by approximately $6.9 million per year, with percentage rent

to commence in 2013 with respect to these communities.  For more information about our leases with SNH, please refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, or our Annual Report (including the section captioned “Properties — SNH Leases”).

 

The Management Contracts and Lease Additions will become effective if and when SNH acquires the related senior living communities.  The closing of SNH’s acquisition of these communities is subject to satisfaction of various conditions to closing, including various regulatory and lender consents.  Accordingly, we can provide no assurance as to when we will begin to operate or lease these communities, if at all.

 

The description of the Management Contracts is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to a representative form thereof or a copy thereof filed as Exhibits 10.17 and 10.18 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Amendment to Business Management Agreement

 

On May 12, 2011, we and RMR entered into an amendment to our business management and shared services agreement, or the Business Management Agreement.  The amendment adjusted the determination of the fees payable by us to RMR under the Business Management Agreement.  The Business Management Agreement provides for compensation to RMR at an annual business management fee equal to 0.6% of our revenues.  As amended, revenues are defined as our total revenues from all sources reportable under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, less any revenues reportable by us with respect to facilities and other properties for which we provide management services plus the gross revenues at those facilities and other properties determined in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, the amendment also amended certain procedures for the arbitration of disputes pursuant to the Business Management Agreement.  The terms of the amendment described above were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, which consists solely of our Independent Directors.

 

The description of the Business Management Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy thereof filed as Exhibit 10.19 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Information Regarding Certain Relationships

 

SNH is our former parent company, our largest landlord, and our largest shareholder.  As of May 12, 2011, SNH owned approximately 9% of our outstanding shares of common stock.  We have numerous continuing relationships with SNH, including the arrangements referred to above in this report.

 

RMR provides management services to both us and SNH.  One of our Managing Directors, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is Chairman and majority owner of RMR and serves as a managing trustee of SNH.  Our other Managing Director, Mr. Gerard Martin, is a director of RMR.  Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer are both Senior Vice Presidents of RMR.  Mr. Portnoy’s son, Mr. Adam Portnoy, is an owner, President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of RMR and serves as a managing trustee of SNH.

 

We currently own approximately 14.29% of the outstanding equity of Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC.  The other shareholders of AIC are RMR and five other companies to which RMR provides

management services, including SNH.  Four of our Directors and nearly all of the trustees and directors of the other AIC shareholders currently serve on the board of directors of AIC.  In 2010, AIC designed a combination property insurance program for us and other AIC shareholders in which AIC participated as a reinsurer.

 

For more information about the relationships among us, our Directors and executive officers, RMR, SNH, AIC and other companies to which RMR provides management services, and about the risks which may arise from these relationships, please refer to our Annual Report and our other filings with the SEC, including the sections captioned “Business,” “Risk Factors,” “Properties — SNH Leases” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Related Person Transactions” in our Annual Report, the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Related Person Transactions” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, or our Quarterly Report, and the information regarding our Directors and executive officers and the section captioned “Related Person Transactions and Company Review of Such Transactions” in our Proxy Statement dated February 23, 2011 relating to our 2011 Annual Shareholders Meeting, or our Proxy Statement.  Our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report, our Quarterly Report and our Proxy Statement, are available at the SEC’s website: www.sec.gov.

Director Compensation; Share Grants

 

On May 9, 2011, we changed our director compensation arrangements.  A summary of our currently effective director compensation arrangements is filed as Exhibit 10.20 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On May 9, 2011, we granted each of our directors 7,500 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, valued at $7.97, the closing price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on that day, pursuant to the director compensation arrangements described above.

 

Lease for Our Headquarters

 

On May 12, 2011, we entered into a lease with an affiliate of RMR, as landlord, or the Landlord, with respect to approximately 36,500 rentable square feet located in Newton, Massachusetts that serves as our corporate headquarters.  Our rent under the lease will be approximately $730,000 per year for the initial year of the lease, and will increase by approximately $18,250 per year in each year thereafter.  We are also responsible for our pro rata share of all operating costs and taxes as well as all costs of any services we engage directly.  The term of this lease is ten years commencing July 1, 2011.  This lease agreement contains additional terms typical of commercial lease agreements.  In addition to these typical terms, the lease agreement provides that if the Business Management Agreement is terminated or expires or we experience a change in control, as defined in the lease, the Landlord may terminate the lease on six months notice, in which event we are entitled to be reimbursed for the unamortized costs of any improvements we make to the property.

 

The description of this lease is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the lease, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

THIS CURRENT REPORT CONTAINS STATEMENTS WHICH CONSTITUTE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.  WHENEVER WE USE WORDS SUCH AS “BELIEVE”, “EXPECT”, “ANTICIPATE”, “INTEND”, “PLAN”, “ESTIMATE”, OR SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS, WE ARE MAKING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.  THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ARE BASED UPON OUR PRESENT INTENT, BELIEFS OR EXPECTATIONS, BUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR.  OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS.  FOR EXAMPLE:

 

·               THIS CURRENT REPORT STATES THAT WE EXPECT TO ACQUIRE SIX SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES LOCATED IN INDIANA STARTING IN JUNE 2011 AND THAT WE WILL BEGIN TO LEASE AND MANAGE 20 COMMUNITIES LOCATED IN THE SOUTHEAST STARTING IN JUNE 2011.  THESE CLOSINGS ARE SUBJECT TO OUR OBTAINING REGULATORY APPROVALS AND CERTAIN LENDER CONSENTS AND SATISFACTION OF OTHER CLOSING CONDITIONS.  WE CURRENTLY EXPECT THAT ALL OF THE REQUIRED APPROVALS AND CONSENTS WILL BE OBTAINED AND OTHER CONDITIONS WILL BE SATISFIED, BUT SUCH APPROVALS, CONSENTS AND SATISFACTION OF CONDITIONS ARE NOT ASSURED AND WE CANNOT CONTROL THE TIMING OF REGULATORY APPROVALS, LENDER CONSENTS OR SATISFACTION OF CLOSING CONDITIONS.  ACCORDINGLY, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OUR BEGINNING TO OPERATE SOME OF THESE COMMUNITIES MAY BE DELAYED OR MAY NOT OCCUR.

 

·               THIS CURRENT REPORT STATES THAT THE PURCHASE OF THESE SIX SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES BY US WILL BE FUNDED, IN PART, BY A BRIDGE LOAN FROM SNH FOR UP TO $80 MILLION WHICH MATURES ON JULY 1, 2012.  THE BRIDGE LOAN AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT IF IT IS NOT REPAID ON OR BEFORE ITS MATURITY DATE, SNH MAY SATISFY THE LOAN BY ACQUIRING CERTAIN OF THE COMMUNITIES SECURING REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN AND LEASING THEM TO US.  WE EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO REPAY THIS LOAN BEFORE ITS MATURITY; HOWEVER, OUR ABILITY TO DO SO IS LARGELY DEPENDENT UPON MARKET CONDITIONS WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.  ACCORDINGLY, WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO REPAY OR REFINANCE THIS BRIDGE LOAN OR REGARDING THE TERMS OF ANY SUCH REFINANCING.

 

·               THIS CURRENT REPORT STATES THAT THE TERMS OF THE BRIDGE LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS BETWEEN US AND SNH WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY SPECIAL COMMITTEES OF EACH OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SNH’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES COMPOSED SOLELY OF OUR INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS AND INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES WHO ARE NOT ALSO DIRECTORS OR TRUSTEES OF THE OTHER PARTY AND WHO WERE REPRESENTED BY SEPARATE COUNSEL.  THIS CURRENT REPORT ALSO STATES THAT THE TERMS OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPOSED SOLELY OF OUR INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS AND THAT THE TERMS OF OUR LEASE FOR OUR HEADQUARTERS WITH AN AFFILIATE OF

 

8



 

RMR WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY A SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPOSED SOLELY OF OUR INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS WHO WERE REPRESENTED BY SEPARATE COUNSEL.  THE IMPLICATION OF THESE STATEMENTS MAY BE THAT THESE TERMS ARE ARMS LENGTH AND FAIR.  HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE MULTIPLE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG US, SNH AND RMR AND ITS AFFILIATES, THESE TERMS MAY BE EXPOSED TO CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE SOMEHOW UNFAIR, AND DEFENDING SUCH CLAIMS CAN BE EXPENSIVE AND DISTRACTING TO MANAGEMENT.

 

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OUR FILINGS WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING UNDER THE CAPTION “RISK FACTORS” IN OUR PERIODIC REPORTS, IDENTIFIES OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN OR IMPLIED BY OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.  OUR FILINGS WITH THE SEC ARE AVAILABLE ON ITS WEBSITE AT WWW.SEC.GOV.

 

YOU SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

 

EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, WE DO NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR CHANGE ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.

8.1.          Apportionments .

 

(a)           Closing Apportionments .   The following items shall be apportioned at 11:59 pm on the day preceding the Closing Date, such that the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Purchaser:

 

(i)            rents and all other fixed and unfixed charges payable under the Resident Agreements, to the extent the same have been received and collected;

 

23



 

(ii)           fuel, electric, water and other utility costs;

 

(iii)          real estate taxes and assessments other than special assessments, based on the rates and assessed valuations applicable in the 2011 calendar year (it being acknowledged and agreed that real estate taxes and assessments shall be prorated based on when such taxes are accrued, rather than when they are paid);

 

(iv)          amounts paid or payable under Service Contracts being assumed by the Purchaser;

 

(v)           amounts which the Purchaser (or its Subsidiaries and/or affiliates) elects to assume with respect to Employee vacation time or sick days (if any); and

 

(vi)          all other items of income and expense normally apportioned in sales of property in similar situations.

 

If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date but, in any event, no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date for all items other than real estate taxes, which shall be reconciled no later than six (6) months after the Closing Date.

 

(b)           Meter Readings .   The Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate to cause the Sellers’ water, gas, electric or other utility accounts with respect to each Property to be closed on the day preceding the Closing Date and for new accounts to be opened in the Purchaser’s name on the Closing Date, in which case each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall be responsible for their own accounts.  If the Purchaser and the Sellers are not able to switch over any such accounts as aforesaid, the Sellers endeavor to obtain readings for all applicable utility meters as close as possible to the Closing Date and any corresponding charges based thereon shall be prorated based upon such readings.  If any readings cannot be obtained by the Closing Date, then, at the Closing, any corresponding charges based thereon shall be prorated based upon the last readings then available.  Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be recalculated and the Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make prompt payment to the other based upon such recalculations.

 

(c)           Tax Refunds .   If any refunds of real property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer taxes and rents shall be made after the Closing, the same shall be held in trust by the Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall first be applied to the unreimbursed costs incurred in obtaining the same, then the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Sellers (with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date) and to the Purchaser (with respect to the period commencing with the Closing Date).

 

(d)           Special Assessments If, on the Closing Date, any Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable as a lump sum or which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Sellers shall pay or cause to be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments, including those which are to become due and payable after the Closing Date.

 

24



 

(e)           Resident Deposits .   At the Closing, the Purchaser shall receive a credit for the amount of all Resident Deposits or, if required by Law, the segregated accounts containing such Resident Deposits or the amounts therein shall be transferred to the Purchaser.

If the Purchaser (or its Subsidiaries and/or affiliates) makes a claim against any Seller Party on or before the first (1 st ) anniversary of the Closing Date and notifies Escrow Agent thereof, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the Holdback Amount until the claim is finally resolved by a written agreement signed by both parties and delivered to the Escrow Agent or by delivery of the amount of the claim to a court of competent jurisdiction by Escrow Agent, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be released and discharged from all further obligations hereunder.  Any Loss determined to be due to the Purchaser (and its Subsidiaries and/or affiliates) shall be recovered first from the Holdback Amount; provided , however , the Holdback Amount shall not limit or otherwise cap any Seller’s liability under this Agreement.

11.11.      Counterparts, Etc .   This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Any such counterparts may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail (in the form of a .pdf or any other readily accessible attachment thereto), and all such counterparts so delivered shall be treated as original documents for all purposes.

 

31

11.13.      Attorneys Fees .   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any lawsuit or arbitration or other legal proceeding arises in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, each party shall pay its own costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, in preparation therefor and on appeal therefrom.

11.17.      Financials .   Each Seller shall provide the Purchaser with access to the books and records of such Seller that relate to its Property and the business that such Seller conducts thereon for purposes of preparing audited financial statements for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 calendar years (and the 2011 stub period).  For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Purchaser or any of its affiliates are acquiring any other business or properties from a Seller or any of their respective affiliates (including, without limitation, the businesses and properties that are subject to the Other Purchase Agreements), the financial statements to be prepared by the Purchaser may be consolidated or combined financial statements representing the results of operations and financial condition of all such businesses and properties on a consolidated or combined basis, as appropriate.  In addition, each Seller shall execute and deliver (or shall cause its officers to execute and deliver) to the Purchaser or the independent public accounting firm auditing such financial statements such certifications, “representations” letters and consents as to such financial statements, books and records as are customarily provided in connection with the preparation of audited financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, for inclusion in any registration statement or other public filing of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, and any other prospectus, offering circular or document used by the Purchaser or such affiliate in any other offering of securities, whether public or private.  The Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs or expenses reasonably incurred by a Seller in connection with the preparation of such financial statements, certifications, consents and representations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser agrees to prepare such

 

32



 

audited financial statements only to the extent (a) the Purchaser determines appropriate, after consultation with counsel, in connection with any registration statement, prospectus, report or other filing of the Purchaser or its affiliates with the SEC or any stock exchange on which securities of the Purchaser or any affiliate are listed, or (b)  the Purchaser or an affiliate determines advisable in connection with its investor relations program, conducted in the normal course.

(iii)           real estate taxes and assessments other than special assessments, based on the rates and assessed valuations applicable in the 2011 calendar year (it being acknowledged and agreed that real estate taxes and assessments shall be prorated based on when such taxes are accrued, rather than when they are paid);

11.6.        Waivers, Etc.   Any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

11.9.        No Presumption Against Drafter .   This Agreement has been extensively negotiated between the Purchaser and the Sellers and none of the provisions set forth herein shall be construed narrowly against either party on the account of the fact that such party (or its attorney) drafted such provision.

11.13.      Attorneys Fees .   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any lawsuit or arbitration or other legal proceeding arises in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, each party shall pay its own costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, in preparation therefor and on appeal therefrom.

8.06                         Continuing Lien .

 

It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Liens granted under the Loan Documents (a)  shall constitute a continuing Lien securing any and all future, as well as existing, Obligations, and (b)  shall attach to after-acquired as well as existing Property of a Borrower.

 

8.07                         Possession; Sale of Property .

 

(a)                                   In addition to the rights and remedies contained in Section 7.02 , while an Event of Default exists, the Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and the right (subject to any applicable Laws):

 

(i)                                      with or without notice or demand for performance and without liability for trespass, subject to the rights of lessees, if any, enter any of the Property and peaceably take possession of the same, and may take such measures as the Lender may deem necessary or proper for the care or protection thereof (including without limitation, the right to remove all or any portion of such Property);

 

(ii)                                   with or without taking such possession, may sell or cause to be sold, in one or more sales or parcels, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, all or any portion of the Property, at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale, except at least ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to the Borrowers of the time and place of such sale or sales (and such other notices as may be required by applicable Law, if any, and which cannot be waived), which each Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges is commercially reasonable.  The Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare any Property for such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Borrower now have or may at any time in the future have under any applicable Law now existing or hereafter enacted; and

 

(iii)                                at any such sale, the Property, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Lender (in its sole and absolute discretion) determines.  The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Property if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Property shall have been given.  The Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any such public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned 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.  In case any such sale of all or any part of the Property is made on credit or for future delivery, the Property so sold may be retained by the Lender until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  The Lender shall not incur any liability for the failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Property or for any delay in doing so and, in case of any such failure, shall not be under any obligation to take any action with respect thereto; provided such Property may be sold again upon like notice.

 

(b)                                  At any public sale made pursuant to this Agreement (or to the extent permitted by applicable Law at any private sale), the Lender may bid for or purchase the Property and any other security for the Obligations, free from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal and all rights of marshalling, (all said rights being also hereby waived and released by each Borrower to the fullest extent

 

21



 

permitted by applicable Law), and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Lender from the Borrowers as a credit against the purchase price, and the Lender, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such Property without further accountability to the Borrowers therefor.

 

(c)                                   As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, in connection with the exercise of any remedies, the Lender may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose on the Property and to sell the same or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.  In any action hereunder, the Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver without notice, to peaceably take possession of all or any portion of the Property and to exercise such powers as the court shall confer upon the receiver.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall be entitled to apply, without notice to any Borrower, any cash or cash items constituting Property or proceeds thereof in its possession to payment of the Obligations.

 

8.08                         Sale following Maturity Date or Acceleration .

 

(a)                                   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if all Obligations are not paid in full as of the Maturity Date, or if earlier, upon acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02 , then at the request of the Lender, the Borrowers will transfer to the Lender or its designee (the “ New Owner ”) the Acquired Facilities as follows:

 

(i)                                      if the aggregate amount of the outstanding Obligations is not more than $30.4 million, the New Owner shall only be entitled to require transfer of the first Acquired Facility listed on Schedule 1 ;

 

(ii)                                   if the aggregate amount of the outstanding Obligations is more than $30.4 million, but not more than $53.82 million, the New Owner shall be entitled to require transfer of the first and second Acquired Facilities listed on Schedule 1 ; and

 

(iii)                                if the aggregate amount of the outstanding Obligations is more than $53.82 million, the New Owner shall be entitled to require transfer of all three Acquired Facilities.

 

(b)                                  Upon transfer of an Acquired Facility the Lender will acknowledge satisfaction of the then outstanding Obligations in an amount equal to the value of such Acquired Facility set forth in Schedule 1 ; provided , the Acquired Facilities must be transferred in the order they appear on Schedule 1 (for example, the first listed Acquired Facility must be transferred before or simultaneously with the second listed Acquired Facility).  If the aggregate value for the Acquired Facilities transferred exceeds the then outstanding Obligations, the New Owner shall on the date of the transfer pay an amount equal to the excess in cash to the Borrowers.  If the then outstanding Obligations exceed the aggregate value of the Acquired Facilities transferred, the Borrowers shall remain liable for the deficiency and the Lender shall have and retain all rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect thereto and any remaining Property.

 

(c)                                   Contemporaneously with the transfer of an Acquired Facility pursuant to this Section 8.08 , an Affiliate of FVE shall lease such Acquired Facility from the New Owner pursuant to a Lease.  The New Owner shall specify the Lease under which the Acquired Facility will be leased and all of the terms of such Lease will apply to such Acquired Facility except “Base Gross Revenues” with respect to such Acquired Facility will be the “Gross Revenues” for calendar year 2012 and the annual “Minimum Rent” for such Acquired Facility will equal 8% of the value of such Acquired Facility as set forth on

 

22



 

Schedule 1 . “Base Gross Revenues”, “Gross Revenues” and “Minimum Rent” have the meanings given therefor in the applicable Lease.

 

(d)                                  The foregoing notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties under this Section 8.08 shall be subject to New Owner’s obtaining all required licenses and regulatory approvals for the ownership of such Facility by the New Owner, and the parties will reasonably cooperate in the process of obtaining such licenses and approvals.

24

(a)           Disputes .  Any disputes, claims or controversies between or among the parties hereto (i) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of either the Lender or FVE (which, for purposes of this Section 9.13 , shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares in either the Lender or FVE, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of the Lender or FVE) either on his, her or its owner behalf, on behalf of either the Lender or FVE or on behalf of any series of class of shares of either the Lender or FVE against the Lender or FVE or any trustee, director officer, manager (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agent or employee of the Lender or FVE, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration agreement (all of which are referred to as “ Disputes ”) or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes, shall on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final Arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “ Rules ”) of the American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”) then in effect, except as modified herein.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.

 

(b)           Selection of Arbitrators .  There shall be three arbitrators.  If there are only two parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten days to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within 15 days thereafter, one of the three arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within 15 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

(c)           Location of Arbitration .  The place of Arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

(d)           Scope of Discovery .  There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

(e)           Arbitration Award .  In rendering an award or decision (the “ Arbitration Award ”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Any

 

27



 

arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this Section 9.13 shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Arbitration Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

(f)            Costs .  Except to the extent expressly provided by this Section 9.13 or as otherwise agreed between the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees).  Each party (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

(g)           Final Judgment .  The Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this Section 9.13 to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(h)           Payment .  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in Dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  The party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30 th  day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

 

(i)             Beneficiaries .  This Section 9.13 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

9.14        Joint and Several Liability .

 

Each and every obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is the joint and several obligation of each Borrower whether or not so expressed.  Such obligations are independent, and may be enforced against any Borrower, irrespective of whether enforcement is brought against any other Borrower.  If for any reason any Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of its obligations to the Lender, or if any of the moneys payable on such obligations have become irrecoverable from a Borrower, by operation of law or otherwise, such obligations shall nevertheless be binding on each other Borrower.

And the said Grantor does hereby covenant and agree with the Trustee as follows:

 

1.                INSURANCE.  The Grantor shall keep the Improvements, now or hereafter erected, constantly insured for the benefit of the Beneficiary against loss by fire, windstorm and such other casualties and contingencies, in such manner and in such companies and for such amounts, as indicated in the Loan Agreement.  All proceeds from any insurance so maintained shall at the option of the Beneficiary be applied to the debt secured hereby and if payable in installments, applied in the inverse order of maturity of such installments or to the repair or reconstruction of any Improvements.

 

2.                TAXES, ASSESSMENTS, CHARGES. The Grantor shall pay all taxes, assessments and charges as may be lawfully levied against said Property as required pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

3.                CONDEMNATION.  In the event that any or all of the Property shall be condemned and taken under the power of eminent domain, the Grantor shall give immediate written notice to the Beneficiary and the Beneficiary shall have the right to receive and collect all damages awarded by reason of such taking, and the right to such damages hereby is assigned to the Beneficiary who shall have the discretion to apply the amount so received, or any part thereof, to the indebtedness due hereunder and if payable in installments, applied in the inverse order of maturity of such installments, or to any alteration, repair or restoration of the Property by the Grantor.

 

4.                SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE.  The Grantor and the Trustee covenant and agree to and with the Beneficiary that in case the said Trustee, or any successor trustee, shall die, become incapable of acting, renounce his trust, or for any reason the Beneficiary desires to replace said Trustee, then the Beneficiary may appoint, in writing, a trustee to take the place of the Trustee; and upon the such appointment, the trustee thus appointed shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the Trustee.

 

5.                ADVANCEMENTS.  If the Grantor shall fail to perform any of the covenants or obligations contained herein or in any other instrument given as additional security for the Obligations secured hereby, the Beneficiary may, but without obligation, make advances to perform such covenants or obligations, and all such sums so advanced shall be added to the principal sum, shall bear interest at the rate provided in the Loan Agreement for sums due after default and shall be due from the Grantor on demand of the Beneficiary.  No advancement or anything contained in this paragraph shall constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary or prevent such failure to perform (after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period) from constituting an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

 

6.                INDEMNITY.  If any suit or proceeding be brought against the Trustee or the Beneficiary or arising out of this Deed of Trust or the Loan Agreement, or if any suit or proceeding be brought which may, in the Beneficiary’s commercially reasonable judgment, affect the value or title of the Property, the Grantor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless and on demand reimburse the Trustee or the

 



 

Beneficiary from any actual loss, cost, damage or expense incurred by reason thereof, and any sums expended by the Trustee or the Beneficary shall bear interest as provided in the Loan Agreement for sums due after default and shall be due and payable on demand.

 

7.                WAIVERS.  The Grantor waives all rights to require marshalling of assets by the Trustee or the Beneficiary.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or the Beneficiary in the exercise of any right, power or remedy arising under the Loan Agreement, the Note or this Deed of Trust shall be deemed a waiver of any default or aquiescence therein or shall impair or waive the exercise of such right, power or remedy by the Trustee or the Beneficiary at any other time.

 

8.                CIVIL ACTION.  In the event that the Trustee is named as a party to any civil action as the Trustee in this Deed of Trust, the Trustee shall be entitled to employ an attorney at law, including himself if he is a licensed attorney, to represent him in said action and the reasonable attorney’s fee of the Trustee in such action shall be paid by the Beneficiary and added to the principal of the Note and bear interest at the rate provided in the Loan Agreement for sums due after default.

 

9.                CREATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS.  This Deed of Trust shall constitute a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of North Carolina, N.C.G.S. 25-9-101, et seq (the “ UCC ”).  By executing and delivering this Deed of Trust, the Grantor hereby expressly grants to the Beneficiary, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the personal property encumbered hereby (the “ Personal Property ”), for the purpose of securing the Obligations, to the full extent that such Personal Property may be subject to the UCC, but subject to the rights of the beneficiary of any deed of trust senior in priority to this Deed of Trust.  At the Beneficiary’s request, the Grantor will join the Beneficiary in executing one or more financing statements and renewals and amendments thereof pursuant to the UCC, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiary and will pay all costs of filing thereof.  Certain items of the Personal Property are, may, or will become attached to the real property that is encumbered by this Deed of Trust.  It is intended that the filing for record of this Deed of Trust will make it effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing within the meaning of the UCC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, if, in the event of a foreclosure (whether judicial or non-judicial) of this Deed of Trust, less than all of the Personal Property subject to this security interest is sold at foreclosure, that portion of the Personal Property not sold shall continue to remain subject to the security interest granted hereby.

 



 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Grantor has caused this instrument to be signed in its corporate name by its duly authorized officers and its seal to be hereunto affixed by authority of its Board of Directors, the day and year first above written.

(b)                                  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Adverse Regulatory Event” means any time that a new law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation or an administrative or judicial ruling imposes, or could impose in Owner’s or SNH TRS’s reasonable opinion, any material threat to Senior Housing Property Trust’s status as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code or to the treatment of amounts paid to Owner under the Lease as “rents from real property” under Section 856(d) of the Code.

 

(c)                                   SNH TRS shall promptly inform Manager of any Adverse Regulatory Event of which it is aware and which it believes likely to impair compliance with respect to Section 856(d) of the Code.

(a)                                   Any disputes, claims or controversies between the parties (i) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or (ii) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of any party or a direct or indirect parent of a party (which, for purposes of this Section 15.02, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of any party, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of any party), either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of any party or on behalf of any series or class of shares of any party or shareholders of any party against any party or any member, trustee, officer, manager (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agent or employee of any party, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration provision, or the declarations of trust, limited liability company agreements or bylaws of any party hereto (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section

 

22



 

15.02.  For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against trustees, officers or managers of any party and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and any party.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party. For purposes of this Article XIV, the term “party” shall include any direct or indirect parent of a party.

 

(b)                                  There shall be three arbitrators.  If there are only two parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten days to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

(c)                                   The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

(d)                                  There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

(e)                                   In rendering an award or decision (the “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Any arbitration proceedings or Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

(f)                                     Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses

 

23



 

(including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys.  Each party (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

(g)                                  An Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(h)                                  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Each party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide.

 

(i)                                      This Section 15.02 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

Section 15.03.                        Consent to Jurisdiction and Forum .  This Section 15.03 is subject to, and shall not in any way limit the application of, Section 15.02; in case of any conflict between this Section 15.03 and Section 15.02, Section 15.02 shall govern.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15.02, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in any action brought by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement shall lie in any federal or state court located in Boston, Massachusetts.  By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts for itself and in respect of its property with respect to such action. The parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in such court, and hereby waive any objection that such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of such action.  The parties further agree and consent to the service of any process required by any such court by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with Section 17.01 and that any such delivery shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against it, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court.

Section 15.05.                        Indemnity .  In any action, proceeding or claim brought or asserted by a third party, Manager will defend, indemnify and hold SNH TRS (and any of its Affiliates, their respective directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, employees and agents) harmless from and against any claims, losses, expenses, costs, suits, actions, proceedings, demands or liabilities that are asserted against, or sustained or incurred by them because of Manager’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, or arising from Manager’s failure to act or not act in accordance with SNH TRS’s reasonable instructions or gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, except to the extent caused by SNH TRS’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.   SNH TRS will defend, indemnify, and hold Manager (and any of its Affiliates, their respective directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, employees and agents) harmless, from and against any and all claims, expenses, costs, suits, actions, proceedings, demands, or liabilities that are asserted against, or sustained or incurred by them in connection with the performance of Manager’s duties under this Agreement or otherwise while acting within the scope of the agency established by the parties to this Agreement and in accordance with Section 15.04, or in the case of an action, proceeding or claim brought or asserted by a third party against any of them as a result of SNH TRS’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, violation of Legal Requirements, instructions to Manager to act or not act with respect to the relevant matter or gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, except to the extent caused by Manager’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, failure to act or not act in accordance with SNH TRS’s reasonable instructions, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.   The scope of the foregoing indemnities includes any and all costs and expenses properly incurred in connection with any proceedings to defend any indemnified claim, or to enforce the indemnity, or both.  Recovery upon an indemnity contained in this Agreement shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by any applicable insurance collected by the indemnified party with respect to the claims covered by such indemnity.  The parties obligations under this Section shall survive the Termination.

 

Section 15.06.                        Limitation of Liability .  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no shareholder, member, officer, director, trustee, employee or agent of any party to this Agreement (and of any Affiliate of such party that is not a party to this Agreement) shall have any personal liability with respect to the liabilities or obligations of such party under this Agreement or any document executed by such party pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III
PRIORITIES FOR
DISTRIBUTION OF AGGREGATE GROSS REVENUES

 

3.01.         Priorities for Distribution of Aggregate Gross Revenues .  Aggregate Gross Revenues shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

 

2



 

(1)            First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

 

(2)            Second, to Manager to pay the Aggregate Base Fee and any interest that may have accrued pursuant to Section 3.02.

 

(3)            Third, to TRS in an amount equal to the Aggregate TRS Priority Return and any interest that may have accrued pursuant to Section 3.02.

 

(4)            Fourth, to Manager to reimburse it for payment of any Manager Shortfall Advance, plus applicable interest calculated at the Interest Rate.

 

(5)            Fifth, to Manager, in an amount equal to the Aggregate Incentive Fee.

 

(6)            Sixth, to TRS, in an amount equal to the Aggregate TRS Residual Payment.

 

3.02.         Timing of Payments .  Payment of the Aggregate Facility Expenses, excluding the Aggregate Base Fee, shall be made in the ordinary course of business.  The Aggregate Base Fee and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance, based upon Manager’s then estimate of the prior month’s Aggregate Gross Revenues.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance in approximately equal monthly installments, based upon Aggregate Invested Capital most recently reported to Manager by TRS. The Aggregate Base Fee and Aggregate TRS’s Priority Return shall be subject to adjustment by increasing or decreasing the payment due in the following month based upon Aggregate Gross Revenues reflected in the Aggregate Monthly Financial Statements and increases or decreases in Aggregate Invested Capital reported to Manager by TRS, as the case may be.  If any installment of the Aggregate Base Fee or the Aggregate TRS Priority Return is not paid when due, it shall accrue and bear interest at the Interest Rate. The Aggregate Incentive Fee and Aggregate TRS Residual Payment shall be paid on the last Business Day of the calendar month following the month to which such Aggregate Incentive Fee and Aggregate TRS Residual Payment relate, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Monthly Statements.  Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon the Aggregate Monthly Statements for the full calendar year and any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and Aggregate TRS Residual Payment shall be allocated among TRSes as the TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

 

3.03.         Relationship with Management Agreements .  For as long as this Agreement is in effect with respect to a Facility, the provisions of Section 3.01 and 3.02 shall supersede Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of the Management Agreement then in effect with the applicable Facility.

 

ARTICLE IV
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Manager shall prepare and deliver the following financial statements to the TRSes:

 

3



 

(a)           not later than ten Business Days after the end of each calendar month, a consolidated balance sheet and related statement of income and expense of all of the Facilities for such calendar month and for the then current calendar year to date, certified by Manager’s Controller on a monthly basis and by Manager’s Chief Financial Officer on a quarterly basis as being true and correct to the best of his/her knowledge (“Aggregate Monthly Statement”).

 

(b)          Manager shall also prepare and deliver such other statements or reports as any TRS may, from time to time, reasonably request.

 

The financial statements delivered pursuant to this Article IV are in addition to any financial statements required to be prepared and delivered pursuant to the Management Agreements.

 

ARTICLE V
SHORTFALL; NON-ECONOMIC FACILITIES

 

5.01.         Shortfall .  After December 31, 2017, if in each of three consecutive calendar years the Aggregate TRS Priority Return (together with any accrued interest) has not been paid in full (a “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third year, the TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements.  Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manger may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more frequently than once every four (4) years.  Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.

 

5.02.         Non-Economic Facilities .  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee of such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years, Manager shall, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, be entitled to designate such Facility a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled without the Owner’s consent to designate Facilities for which the Invested Capital in the aggregate would exceed twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital and further provided for purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement of a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by the Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

4



 

5.03.         Sale Process .  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner and, if the Manager elects to continue marketing the Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and the Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on the other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) the Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated, by the relevant TRS, relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction of Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and all Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of the TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may, except as required by any Mortgage and related loan documentation or applicable law, be commingled accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facility, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS’s signature be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  The TRSes shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement the Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.         Addition of Facilities .  At any time and from time to time, Manager and any TRS or any Affiliate of TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with

 

5



 

Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional assisted living facility or skilled nursing facility (an “Additional Facility”), the Additional TRS may become a party to this Agreement by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to the Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes required.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at the Additional Facility, if any, shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.         Removal of Facilities .  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the Facility managed thereunder shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of the Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of the Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes required.

1.                                        Section 2.3(a) of the Business Management Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety to read as follows:

 

PAYMENT FOR SERVICES.  RMR shall be paid a fee for the Services provided to the Company under this Agreement (the “Fee”) equal to 0.6% of Revenues as hereinafter defined.  “Revenues” are the total revenues of the Company from all sources reportable under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) less any revenues reportable by the Company with respect to facilities and other properties for which the Company provides management services plus the gross revenues at those facilities and other properties determined in accordance with GAAP.  The Fee shall be estimated and paid monthly by the Company in advance based upon the prior calendar month’s Revenues, and such payment shall be paid within 15 calendar days of the end of the applicable prior calendar month unless otherwise agreed.  The calculation of the fee for any month shall be based upon the Company’s monthly financial statements and shall be in reasonable detail.  A copy of the computations shall promptly be delivered to RMR accompanied by payment of the Fee thereon to be due and payable.  The Fee shall be pro-rated for any partial month this Agreement shall be in effect.

 

The aggregate annual Fee paid in any fiscal year shall be subject to adjustment as of the end of that fiscal year.  On or before the 30th day after public availability of the Company’s annual audited financial statements for each fiscal year, the Company shall deliver to RMR a notice setting forth (i) the Revenues for such year, (ii) the Company’s computation of the Fee payable for such year and (iii) the amount of the Fee theretofore paid to RMR in respect of such year.  If the annual Fee payable for said fiscal year exceeds the aggregate amounts previously paid with respect thereto by the Company, the

 



 

Company shall pay such deficit amount to RMR at the time of delivery of such notice.  If the annual Fee payable for said fiscal year as shown in such notice is less than the aggregate amounts previously paid with respect thereto by the Company, the Company shall specify in such notice whether RMR should (i) refund to the Company payment in an amount equal to such difference or (ii) grant the Company a credit against the Fee next coming due in the amount of such difference until such amount has been fully paid or otherwise discharged.

 

2.                                        Section 14.1 of the Business Management Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety to read as follows:

 

PROCEDURES FOR ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES.  Any disputes, claims or controversies between the parties (a) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the provision of services by RMR pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of the Company (which, for purposes of this Section 14, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of the Company, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of the Company), either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of the Company or on behalf of any series or class of shares of the Company or shareholders of the Company against the Company or any director, officer, manager (including RMR or its successor), agent or employee of the Company, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration agreement, or the charter or Bylaws of the Company (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section 14.  For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against directors, officers or managers of the Company and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.

 

3.                                        Section 14.2 of the Business Management Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety to read as follows:

 

ARBITRATORS.  There shall be three arbitrators.  If there are only two parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then

 

2



 

the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten days to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within 15 days thereafter, one of the three arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within 15 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

4.                                        This Amendment shall be effective as of the day and year first above written.  As amended hereby, the Business Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

5.                                        The provisions of this Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

6.                                        This Amendment may be executed in separate counterparts, each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent on the first day of each calendar month during the term but otherwise in the manner provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, estimated payments on account of Tenant’s Operating Cost Obligation, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide to Landlord, by the end of each Operating Year, a sum equal to Tenant’s Operating Cost Obligation for such Operating Year, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time during such Operating Year (provided that Landlord shall not increase such estimate more than once during any Operating Year).  If, at the expiration of each Operating Year in

4.2.4         Review of Landlord’s Records .  Landlord shall keep and maintain complete and accurate books, records, invoices and statements reflecting Operating Costs and Taxes for a period of at least two (2) years following the period in which such Operating Costs and Taxes were incurred.  Within one hundred eighty (180) days following each Operating Year during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a year-end statement of Operating Costs and Taxes for the previous Operating Year (each a “ Final Statement ”), such Operating Costs and Taxes to be determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied.  If Tenant disputes the amount set forth in the Final Statement and provided Tenant shall have paid all amounts invoiced by Landlord on account of Operating Costs for the applicable Operating Year, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense except as hereinafter provided, shall have the right to review Landlord’s general ledger, invoices and statements relating to Operating Costs and Taxes for such Operating Year at the place where such invoices and statements are customarily maintained by Landlord, provided such review is requested by notice given to Landlord (the “ Review Notice ”) within two hundred and ten (210) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Final Statement and thereafter undertaken by Tenant or its accountants (provided such accountants are compensated on an hourly or lump-sum basis and not on a contingency fee basis) with due diligence. If Tenant objects to Landlord’s accounting of any Operating Costs, Tenant shall, not later than the later to occur of (i) the last day on which Tenant may give a Review Notice, or (ii) sixty (60) days after Landlord makes its general ledger, invoices and statements available to Tenant if Tenant has given Landlord a Review Notice timely, give Landlord a notice (the “ Objection Notice ”) that Tenant disputes the correctness of such Operating Costs and/or Taxes, specifying the particular items which Tenant claims are incorrect.  If Tenant shall not give an Objection Notice timely, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any and all objections to such Final Statement.

 

If it should be agreed or decided that Operating Costs were overstated in the Final Statement by five percent (5%) or more, then Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in reviewing Landlord’s general ledger, invoices and statements, Tenant’s reasonable arbitration costs, plus any excess amount paid by Tenant on account of overstated Operating Costs with interest at the Default Rate.  If it should be decided

that Operating Costs were not overstated at all, then Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, promptly reimburse Landlord for its third-party costs reasonably incurred in the arbitration and in preparing for Tenant’s review of invoices and statements, and if Operating Costs shall have been understated or Tenant shall not have paid Tenant’s Operating Cost Obligation in full, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, promptly pay any deficiency (together with interest at the Default Rate in the later case).  In the event of an overstatement which is less than five percent (5%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the excess amount paid by Tenant on account of overstated Operating Costs without interest.

 

4.2.5         Insurance .  Tenant shall, at its expense, take out and maintain, from the date upon which Tenant first enters the Premises for any reason, and throughout the term and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of the Premises such commercially reasonable insurance, in such amounts, as shall be agreed by Landlord and Tenant.

 

Insofar as may be permitted by the terms of the insurance policies carried by it, each party hereby releases the other with respect to any claim which it might otherwise have against the other party for loss, damage or destruction of or to its property to the extent such damage is or would be covered by policies of insurance carried or required to be carried by the respective party hereunder.  In addition, Tenant agrees to exhaust any and all claims against its insurer(s) prior to commencing an action against Landlord for any property loss.

11



 

the Premises is rendered unusable and if Tenant shall vacate the entire Premises, then the aforesaid abatement shall be a full abatement.

 

Provided that Landlord gives Tenant reasonable prior notice (other than in the case of an imminent threat to life or property in which case prior notice shall not be required), Landlord reserves the right to interrupt the services of the HVAC, plumbing, electrical or other mechanical systems or facilities in the Building when necessary from time to time by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements which in the reasonable judgment of Landlord are necessary, until such repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements shall have been completed.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any such interruption and to give to Tenant at least three (3) days’ notice if service is to be interrupted, except in cases of emergency.  Any such interruption shall be subject to an abatement of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, to the extent provided in the immediately preceding paragraph..

 

5.3            Parking .  During the term of this Lease, Tenant and its servants, agents, customers, contractors, employees and invitees shall have the right to use Tenant’s Percentage of the spaces in Parking Facility on an unassigned basis.

6.2.1        Assignment and Subletting .  Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and delayed) assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions and licenses and the like) all or any part of the Premises or suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any other rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant.

 

In the event that Tenant shall intend to enter into any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “ Offerback Notice ”) of such intent, identifying any area proposed to be sublet (the “ Proposed Sublet Space ”) and the proposed commencement of any assignment or sublease.  In the case of (i) any proposed assignment, Landlord may elect to terminate the term of this Lease and (ii) in the case of any proposed sublease, Landlord may elect to exclude from the Premises the Proposed Sublet Space by giving notice to Tenant (the “ Takeback Notice ”) of any such election not later than thirty (30) days after the Offerback Notice.  If Landlord shall give such Takeback Notice within such thirty (30) day period, upon that date (the “ Takeback Date ”) which is the later to occur of (A) the proposed date of commencement of any such proposed sublease or assignment, or (B) the date which is thirty (30) days after the Takeback Notice, the term of this Lease shall terminate (in the case of (i) above) or the Premises shall be reduced (in the case of (ii) above) to exclude the Proposed Sublet Space whereupon

 

15



 

Annual Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Percentage shall be reduced proportionately; and in the case of Proposed Sublet Space, (1) (x) by the Takeback Date Landlord shall, at its expense, install any necessary demising wall separating the Proposed Sublet Space from the remainder of the Premises and any common area corridor and elevator lobby and perform any other alterations (for example but without limitation separation of utilities) required to enable the Proposed Sublet Space and the remainder of the Premises to function and/or be leased independently and (y) from and after the Takeback Date all areas and facilities of the Property which would be considered “common areas” of a multi-tenanted property shall thereafter no longer be deemed part of the Premises (despite the second paragraph of Section 2.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary) but shall only be used in common with other tenant(s) of the Building and (2) the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease memorializing the reduction in the size of the Premises.  If Landlord shall not give the Takeback Notice in response to an Offerback Notice, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to a sublease or assignment to a third party on substantially the terms and conditions set forth in the Offerback Notice which sublease or assignment shall be presented to Landlord for consent within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Offerback Notice.  If Tenant shall not present to Landlord any such sublease or assignment on substantially the terms of the Offerback Notice within such 180-day period and shall still desire to enter into a sublease or assignment (whether due to passage of time or changed terms), the first sentence of this paragraph shall again become applicable.

 

If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises or any part thereof are sublet (or occupied by any party other than Tenant and its employees), Landlord may collect the rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount collected to the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Subsection 6.2.1, the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Lease.

 

Any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subject or subordinate, that other than the payment of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due pursuant to Section 4.1 and Subsections 4.2.1 and 4.2.3 or any obligation relating solely to those portions of the Premises which are not part of the subleased premises, the subtenant shall comply with and be bound by all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and that unless Landlord waives such prohibition, the subtenant may not enter into any sub-sublease, sublease assignment, license or any other agreement granting any right of occupancy of any portion of the subleased premises without Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of the initial Tenant named herein and any immediate or remote successor in interest, and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation to obtain the Landlord’s written approval in the case of any other subletting or assignment.  The joint and several liability of the initial Tenant named herein and any immediate and remote successor in interest of Tenant (by assignment or otherwise), and the due performance of the obligations of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed, shall

 

16



 

not in any way be discharged, released or impaired by any (a) agreement which modifies any of the rights or obligations of the parties under this Lease, (b) stipulation which extends the time within which an obligation under this Lease is to be performed, (c) waiver of the performance of an obligation required under this Lease, or (d) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth in this Lease.  No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect the Permitted Uses.

 

If the rent and other sums (including, without limitation, all monetary payments plus the reasonable value of any services performed or any other thing of value given by any assignee or subtenant in consideration of such assignment or sublease), either initially or over the term of any assignment or sublease, payable by such assignee or subtenant exceed the Annual Fixed Rent plus Additional Rent called for hereunder with respect to the space assigned or sublet, Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of such excess to Landlord, as Additional Rent, payable monthly at the time for payment of Annual Fixed Rent, provided that in computing the amount of any such excess the amortized portion of the following “ Transfer Expenses ” paid by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease may first be deducted from the monthly amount of any such excess: (i) the cost of alterations or improvements made by Tenant to the Premises in order to consummate an assignment or to the portion of Premises that is subleased in order to consummate a sublease, (ii) reasonable brokerage commissions or fees and marketing fees, and (iii) any rental concession paid to such subtenant or assignee in connection with the assignment or sublease, and (iv) reasonable attorneys fees. Any such Transfer Expenses shall be amortized in equal monthly installments over the term of the assignment or sublease and shall be verified by Tenant by written documentation reasonably satisfactory to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of possession to the assignee or sublessee.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to abrogate the provisions of this Subsection 6.2.1 and Landlord’s acceptance of any sums pursuant to this paragraph shall not be deemed a granting of consent to any assignment of the Lease or sublease of all or any portion of the Premises.

 

6.2.2        Nuisance .  Tenant shall not injure, deface or otherwise harm the Premises; nor commit any nuisance; nor make, allow or suffer any waste; nor make any use of the Premises which is improper, offensive or contrary to any Laws or which will invalidate or increase the premiums for any of Landlord’s insurance; nor conduct any auction, fire, “going out of business” or bankruptcy sales.

 

6.2.3        Floor Load; Heavy Equipment .  Not to place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot area which such floor was designed to carry.  Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight or fixtures into or out of the Premises without Landlord’s prior consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

6.2.4        Installation, Alterations or Additions .  Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall not make any installations, alterations, additions or improvements (collectively and individually referred to in this paragraph as “ work ”) in, to or on the Premises without on each occasion obtaining the prior consent of Landlord.  Landlord shall not impose a review or supervisory fee in connection with any work and Tenant may select its own architects and engineers to prepare any plans or specifications for any work.  Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to alterations, additions or improvements which (a) do not affect the structural elements, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-

conditioning, mechanical, electrical or life-safety systems of the Building, (b) are not visible from outside of the Building and (c) shall not materially increase Taxes or Operating Costs nor require Landlord to perform any work upon the Premises.  In all cases where Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written consent (or non-consent stating the reasons for such non-consent) within twenty (20) Business Days after Tenant’s written request for such consent.  Further, Landlord agrees to execute permit forms and otherwise assist in the obtaining of such permits to the extent required by any applicable governmental authority.  Notwithstanding the first sentence hereof, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent and without prior notice to Landlord install readily removable signs, bulletin boards, customary office art, business equipment, business fixtures and work stations in the Premises and may, provided it shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) Business Days prior notice but without the need for Landlord’s consent, install floor and wall covering and paint interior areas of the Building or any alterations, additions and improvements which cost less than $50,000.00 in the aggregate provided that such alterations, additions or improvements (a) do not affect the structural elements, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, mechanical, electrical or life-safety systems of the Building, (b) are not visible from outside of the Building and (c) shall not materially increase Taxes or Operating Costs nor require Landlord to perform any work upon the Premises. All work to be performed to the Premises by Tenant shall (i) be performed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors approved in advance by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and in compliance with all Laws, (ii) be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and (iii) be free of liens and encumbrances and become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord without being deemed additional rent for tax purposes, Landlord and Tenant agreeing that Tenant shall be treated as the owner of the work for tax purposes until the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, subject to Landlord’s rights pursuant to Subsection 6.1.7 (if applicable) to require Tenant to remove the same at or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof and, to the extent Landlord shall make such election, title thereto shall remain vested in Tenant at all times.  Tenant shall pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work to the Premises so that the Premises shall at all times be free of liens.  Prior to the commencement of any such work, and throughout and until completion thereof, Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, such insurance as shall be reasonably required by Landlord.  Whenever and as often as any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien shall have been filed against the Property based upon any act of Tenant or of anyone claiming through Tenant, Tenant shall within ten (10) Business Days of notice from Landlord to Tenant take such action by bonding, deposit or payment as will remove or satisfy the lien.  Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord a bill of sale covering any work Tenant shall be required to surrender hereunder.

6.2.6        Signs .  Tenant shall not paint or place any signs or place any curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials, or the like, visible from outside the Premises.  Landlord will not unreasonably withhold consent for signs or lettering on the entry doors to the Premises provided such signs conform to building standards adopted by Landlord and Tenant has submitted to Landlord a plan or sketch of the sign to be placed on such entry doors.  Landlord agrees, however, to maintain a tenant directory in the lobby of the Building in which will be placed Tenant’s name and the location of the Premises in the Building.

6.2.7        Oil and Hazardous Materials .  Tenant shall not introduce on or transfer to the Premises or Property, any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined); nor dump, flush or otherwise dispose of any Hazardous Materials into the drainage, sewage or waste disposal systems serving the Premises or Property; nor to generate, store, use, release, spill or dispose of any hazardous materials in or on the Premises or the Property; nor transfer any Hazardous Materials from the Premises to any other location.  The foregoing shall not apply to those materials customarily used in connection with general office, provided Tenant shall comply with all Laws applicable thereto.

 

Tenant agrees that if it shall generate, store, release, spill, dispose of or transfer to the Premises or Property any Hazardous Materials in violation of this Lease, it shall promptly remove the same, at its sole cost and expense, in the manner provided by all applicable Environmental Laws, provided that such Hazardous Materials shall be discovered on or before the date which is three (3) years after the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease.  Furthermore, Tenant shall pay any fines, penalties or other assessments imposed by any governmental agency with respect to any such Hazardous Materials and shall forthwith repair and restore the landscaping and surface of the Property which it shall disturb in so removing any such Hazardous Materials to the condition which existed prior to Tenant’s disturbance thereof.

 

Tenant agrees to deliver promptly to Landlord any notices, orders or similar documents received from any governmental agency or official concerning any violation of any Law with respect to any Hazardous Materials affecting the Premises or Property.  In addition, Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, accurately complete any reasonable questionnaires from Landlord relating to Tenant’s use, generation, storage and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials at, to, or from the Premises.

 

The term “ Hazardous Materials ” shall mean and include any oils, petroleum products, asbestos and any other toxic or hazardous wastes, materials and substances which are defined, determined or identified as such in any Environmental Laws, or in any judicial or administrative interpretation of Environmental Laws.

 

The obligations of Tenant contained in this Subsection 6.2.7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

Article 7
Casualty or Taking

 

7.1           Casualty .

 

7.1.1        Landlord’s Duty to Repair .  If all or a substantial part of the Premises, Building or garage required for Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises is rendered unusable or inaccessible by damage from fire or other casualty then, unless either party is entitled to and elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Subsections 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 below, Landlord shall, at its expense, diligently and continuously repair and restore such portions of the Building to substantially their former condition to the extent permitted by then applicable Laws; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord have any obligation for repair or restoration beyond the

 

19



 

extent of insurance proceeds received by Landlord for such repair or restoration or to restore any improvements performed at Tenant’s expense.

 

If Landlord is required or elects to repair damage to the Building, this Lease shall continue in effect, but Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated with regard to any portion of the Building that Tenant is prevented from using or accessing by reason of such damage or its repair until Landlord performs the repairs so required of it.  Such abatement shall continue from the date of the casualty until substantial completion of Landlord’s repair of the affected portion of the Building as so required.

 

7.1.2        Right to Terminate .  Either party may, by notice to the other not less than one hundred eighty (180) days in advance, elect to terminate the term of this Lease (x) if it is not economically feasible to restore the Property to a condition substantially similar to that existing prior to the casualty, (y) if the time required to substantially complete restoration of the Property to a condition substantially similar to that existing prior to the casualty exceeds one year from the date of the casualty or (z) in the case of any material damage to the Property occurring in the last twenty four (24) months of the term.

 

In the event of any termination, the term shall expire as though such effective termination date were the date originally stipulated herein for the end of the term and the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent (to the extent not abated as set forth above) shall be apportioned as of such date.

7.2.2        Effect on Lease .

 

(a)           If the Premises are totally taken by Condemnation, the term of this Lease shall terminate as of the Date of Condemnation.  If a portion but not all of the Premises is taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect; provided, however, that if the portion of the Premises or Building remaining or access thereto after the Condemnation will be unreasonable for Tenant’s continued use, then upon notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord

 

20



 

notifies Tenant of the Condemnation, Tenant may terminate the term of this Lease effective as of the Date of Condemnation; and if it shall be uneconomical or impractical to continue to own or operate the Property as affected by such Condemnation then upon notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after notice of such Condemnation, Landlord may terminate the term of this Lease effective as of the Date of Condemnation.

 

(b)           If all or a portion of the Premises is temporarily taken by a Condemnor for a period not extending beyond the end of the term, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

7.2.5        Awards .  Any Award made shall be paid to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, and waives all interest in or claim to, any such Award, including any claim for the value of the unexpired term (i.e. any leasehold interest); provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive, or to prosecute a separate claim for, (i) an Award for a temporary taking of the Premises or a portion thereof by a Condemnor where this Lease is not terminated (to the extent such Award relates to the unexpired term), or (ii) an Award or portion thereof separately designated for relocation expenses where such Award identified in clause (ii) does not reduce the Award that would be available to Landlord in the absence of such Award to Tenant.

 

Article 8

8.1           Default of Tenant .  (a) (i) If Tenant shall default in its obligations to pay the Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or any other charges under this Lease when due or shall default in complying with its obligations under Subsection 6.1.10 of this Lease and if any such default shall continue for ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Landlord designating such default, or (ii) if as promptly as possible but in any event within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying any default or defaults other than those set forth in clause (i) Tenant has not cured the default or defaults so specified (or, if such failure cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant fails within such thirty (30) day period to commence, and thereafter diligently proceed with, all actions necessary to cure such failure as soon as reasonably possible); or (b) if Tenant’s leasehold interest shall be taken on

 

21



 

execution; or (c) if a lien or other involuntary encumbrance shall be filed against the Premises, and shall not discharged within sixty (60) days thereafter; or (d) if a petition shall be filed by Tenant for liquidation, or for reorganization or an arrangement under any provision of any bankruptcy law or code as then in force and effect; or (e) if an involuntary petition under any of the provisions of any bankruptcy law or code shall be filed against Tenant and such involuntary petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or (f) if a custodian or similar agent shall be authorized or appointed to take charge of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant and such authorization is not rescinded within sixty (60) days thereafter, or (g) if Tenant dissolves or shall be dissolved or shall liquidate or shall adopt any plan or commence any proceeding, the result of which is intended to include dissolution or liquidation, or (i) if any order shall be entered in any proceeding by or against Tenant decreeing or permitting the dissolution of Tenant or the winding up of its affairs, then, and in any of such cases indicated in clauses (a) through (g) hereof (collectively and individually, a “Default of Tenant”), Landlord may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter, give notice to Tenant terminating the term hereof, which notice shall specify the date of such termination, whereupon on the date so specified, the term of this Lease and all of Tenant’s rights and privileges under this Lease shall expire and terminate.

 

8.2           Remedies .  In the event of any termination pursuant to Section 8.1, Tenant shall pay the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder up to the time of such termination, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, and whether or not the Premises shall have been re-let, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current damages, the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of the term of this Lease if such termination had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises, after deducting all reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all reasonable repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting.  Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Annual Fixed Rent would have been payable hereunder if the term of this Lease had not been terminated.

 

At any time after any such termination, in lieu of recovering damages pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraphs with respect to any period after the date of demand therefor, at Landlord’s election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately and in full the net present value (discounted at the Prime Rate) of the amount, if any, by which (A) the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder from the date of such demand to the end of what would be the then unexpired term of this Lease had such termination not occurred (or in the case of reentry or retaking of possession of the Premises by Landlord or a termination of Tenant’s right of possession and/or occupancy of the Premises, to the end of the term of this Lease), shall exceed (B) the then fair rental value of the Premises for the same period.

 

Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or

 

22



 

not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

 

In case of any Default of Tenant, Landlord may (i) relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be equal to or less than or exceed the period the balance of the term of this Lease (or the balance of the term of this Lease if it shall not have been terminated) and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord reasonably considers advisable and necessary to relet the same and (ii) may make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages following a termination of the term of this Lease and surrender of possession of the Premises by Tenant, but only to the extent required by applicable Law.

 

8.3           Remedies Cumulative .  Any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease, and at law and equity (including without limitation actions at law for direct, indirect, special and consequential damages except as provided in the following paragraph, for Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by applicable Law.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby waives, and Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for, any claim for special or consequential losses or damages (excluding, for purposes of clarity, direct damages to which Landlord may be entitled under Section 8.2) or punitive damages arising out of any breach of this Lease by Tenant; provided, however, (i) the foregoing waiver shall not apply to claims asserted by a third party for which Landlord may be liable as a result, in whole or part, of conduct constituting a breach by Tenant of any of the terms of this Lease, and (ii) if Tenant fails to vacate and surrender possession of the Premises within three (3) months following the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease then Tenant shall be liable for all lost profits, loss of income, economic loss and other special or consequential losses or damages which Landlord may incur as a result of breach of Tenant’s obligation to vacate and surrender possession of the Premises on or before the date of expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof.

 

8.4           Landlord’s Right to Cure Defaults .  Provided that Landlord has delivered written notice to Tenant and afforded Tenant an opportunity to cure, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be required, to pay such reasonable amounts or do any reasonable act which requires the expenditure of monies which may be necessary or appropriate by reason of the failure or neglect of Tenant to comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, and in the event of the exercise of such right by Landlord, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand, as Additional Rent, all such reasonable amounts paid including reasonable attorneys fees, together with interest thereon at a rate (the “ Default Rate ”) equal to the lesser of two percent (2%) over the Prime Rate or the maximum rate allowed by Law.  Such opportunity to cure shall be identified in any notice to Tenant hereunder and shall be ten (10) Business Days after any such notice except in instances of Tenant’s failure to comply with Subsection 4.2.5 or any other

 

23



 

breach by Tenant which shall pose an imminent and material threat to life or property in which case the opportunity to cure shall be that time consistent with Landlord’s customary practices and procedures for similar instances (if any) and otherwise shall be consistent with prudent commercial office building owner practices.  “ Prime Rate ” shall mean the annual floating rate of interest, determined daily and expressed as a percentage from time to time announced by Bank of America as its “prime” or “base” rate, so-called, or if at any time Bank of America ceases to announce such a rate, as announced by the largest national or state-chartered banking institution then having an office in the City of Boston and announcing such a rate.  If at any time neither Bank of America nor the largest national or state-chartered banking institution having an office in the City of Boston is announcing such a floating rate, “ Prime Rate ” shall mean a rate of interest, determined daily, which is two hundred basis points above the 14-day moving average closing trading price of 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills.

 

8.5           Holding Over .  Any occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises after the expiration or early termination of the term of this Lease shall be deemed a holding over and shall be treated as a daily tenancy from month to month terminable by either party on not less than thirty (30) days prior notice.  During the first three (3) months of any such holding over (the “ First 3-Month Period ”), Tenant shall pay Annual Fixed Rent at the rate equal to 150% of the Annual Fixed Rent in effect immediately prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term, and during any period after the First 3-Month Period, Tenant shall pay Annual Fixed Rent at the rate equal to 175% of the sum of Annual Fixed Rent plus Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes in effect immediately prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord all damages, direct and/or consequential (foreseeable and unforeseeable), sustained by reason of any such holding over except as provided in clause (ii) of the second paragraph of Section 8.3.  Otherwise, all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Tenant applicable during the term of this Lease shall apply and be performed by Tenant during such period of holding over as if such period were part of the term of this Lease, except that during any period of holding over beyond the First 3-Month Period Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs or Taxes.

 

8.6           Effect of Waivers of Default .  Any consent or permission by Landlord to any act or omission which otherwise would be a breach of any covenant or condition herein, shall not in any way be held or construed (unless expressly so declared) to operate so as to impair the continuing obligation of any covenant or condition herein, or otherwise, except as to the specific instance, operate to permit similar acts or omissions.

 

8.7           No Waiver, etc .  The failure of Landlord to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation.  The receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been a waiver of such breach by Landlord, or by Tenant, unless such waiver be in writing signed by the party to be charged.  No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty.

 

24



 

8.8           No Accord and Satisfaction .  No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent or charge due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.

 

Article 9
Rights of Holders

 

9.1           Rights of Mortgagees and Ground Lessors .  If and only if Tenant receives so-called nondisturbance agreement(s) (“ Nondisturbance Agreements ”) whereby its rights under this Lease shall be recognized by any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee, this Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or master lease, and all renewals, extensions, modifications and replacements thereof, and to all mortgages, which may now or hereafter affect the Building or the Property and/or any of such leases, whether or not such mortgages shall also cover other lands and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and all consolidations of such mortgages.  In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination (but only if Tenant receives the Nondisturbance Agreement(s) as aforesaid).  Any lease to which this Lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Lease” and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest, at the time referred to, is herein called “Superior Lessor”; and any mortgage to which this Lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate, is herein called “Superior Mortgage” and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is herein called “Superior Mortgagee”.

 

If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or designee of any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (herein called “Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor Landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.  Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease subject to the terms of any applicable Nondisturbance Agreement.  Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant’s agreement to attorn, as aforesaid.

 

9.2           Non-Disturbance .  Landlord represents that as of the Date of this Lease the Property is not subject to any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage other than Bank of America

 

25

Article 10

10.1         Notices .  Whenever, by the terms of this Lease, notices shall or may be given either to Landlord or to Tenant, such notice shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by recognized overnight delivery service such as Federal Express:

 

If intended for Landlord, addressed to Landlord at the Notice Address of Landlord set forth in Section 1.1 of this Lease (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designed by Landlord by like notice).

Notices from Tenant may be given by Tenant’s attorney.

 

10.2         Quiet Enjoyment; Landlord’s Right to Make Alterations, Etc .  Landlord agrees that upon Tenant’s paying the rent and performing and observing the agreements, conditions and other provisions on its part to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the term hereof without any manner of hindrance or molestation from Landlord or anyone claiming under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease.

 

10.3         Lease not to be Recorded .  Tenant agrees that it will not record this Lease.  Both parties shall, upon the request of either, execute and deliver a notice or short form of this Lease in such form, if any, as may be permitted by applicable statute.  In no event shall such document set forth the rent or other charges payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease.

 

10.4         Assignment of Rents and Transfer of Title; Limitation of Landlord’s Liability .  With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees that the execution thereof by

 

26



 

Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such holder shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect and that, except as aforesaid, such holder shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.1) only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises.

 

Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations to be performed by Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Property, and in the event of any transfer or transfers of such title to said property, Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, without any further instrument or agreement, of all liability with respect to the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord, shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective successive period of ownership of the Property.

 

Tenant, its successors and assigns, shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Property, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease, it being specifically agreed that in no event whatsoever shall Landlord ever be personally liable for any such liability.

 

Landlord agrees that no trustee, officer, director, general or limited partner, member, shareholder, beneficiary, employee or agent of Tenant (including any person or entity from time to time engaged to supervise and/or manage the operation of Tenant) shall be held to any liability, jointly or severally, for any debt, claim, demand, judgment, decree, liability or obligation of any kind (in tort, contract or otherwise) of, against or with respect to Tenant or arising out of any action taken or omitted for or on behalf of Tenant.

 

10.5         Landlord’s Default .  Except for the purposes of Section 5.2 or Section 10.6, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in breach of, or in default in the performance of, any of its obligations under this Lease unless it shall fail to perform such obligation(s) and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged breach or default, or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such breach or default (provided that Landlord shall commence such cure promptly following Tenant’s notice thereof and proceed with due diligence to cure same).  Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease or to claim any offset or counterclaim against any rent due hereunder for any breach or default by Landlord hereunder, except to the extent expressly provided by this Lease.  In no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant for any punitive damages or for any loss of business or any other special or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause.

 

10.6         Tenant’s Self-Help Remedies .  If Landlord defaults in the performance of any obligation on its part under Sections 5.1, 5.3 or 5.4 to such an extent that Tenant is unable to use

 

27



 

all or any portion of the Premises for the operation of its business in the ordinary course, and Landlord shall not have commenced efforts to cure such default within twenty (20) Business Days after notice thereof from Tenant complying with the following paragraph or shall Landlord thereafter fail to proceed diligently to complete such cure, then Tenant, at its option, may, but shall not be obligated to, in a commercially reasonable fashion, cure such default for the account of Landlord. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any reasonable amount paid or any contractual liability reasonably incurred by Tenant in curing such Landlord default within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives Landlord notice thereof (which shall include appropriate documentation describing, in reasonable detail, any work or services provided by Tenant for the account of Landlord, together with supporting invoices therefor), and if Landlord shall fail to reimburse Tenant within such thirty-day period, said amount together with interest at the Default Rate may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding payment of installments of Annual Fixed Rent hereunder until the amount due (together with such interest) has been recovered in full.

 

Any notice given by Tenant pursuant to the first sentence of the preceding paragraph shall expressly state that the failure of Landlord to cure any such default timely shall give rise to Tenant’s right to cure pursuant to this Section 10.6.

Five Star Quality Care, Inc. Announces Expansion Plans

28 New Senior Living Communities (3,038 living units)

 


 

Newton, MA (May 12, 2011):  Five Star Quality Care, Inc. (NYSE: FVE) today announced expansion plans involving a total of 28 senior living communities with 3,038 living units as follows:

 

Five Star has entered binding agreements to acquire six senior living communities located in Indiana for approximately $123 million.  These high quality senior living communities contain a total of 738 separate living units:  191 independent living apartments; 525 assisted living suites; and 22 units which are specially designated for Alzheimer’s care.  The current occupancy at these communities is approximately 91% and all of the residents pay for services at these communities with private ( i.e ., not government funded Medicaid or Medicare) resources.  These six communities are in addition to 10 senior living communities (925 living units) currently operated by Five Star in Indiana, including the nationally recognized Meadowood Retirement Community located adjacent to Indiana University in Bloomington.

 

The purchase price for these six Indiana communities of approximately $123 million will be paid by Five Star’s assuming existing mortgage debt on certain communities totaling approximately $19.5 million, by a one year bridge loan commitment from Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE: SNH) for up to $80 million, and by Five Star’s using cash on hand or borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  The purchase of these six communities is expected to close starting in June 2011, subject to obtaining required regulatory approvals, lender consents for mortgage assumptions and satisfaction of other closing conditions.

 



 

Simultaneously with the announcement of the Indiana expansion, Five Star announced that it has agreed upon terms to assume operations at 20 senior living communities in the Southeast United States, where Five Star already has a significant market presence.   These 20 communities contain 2,111 living units, including 814 independent living apartments, 939 assisted living suites, 311 units specially designated for Alzheimer’s care and 47 skilled nursing beds (at two locations).  These communities are all high quality facilities where over 80% of the historical revenues have been paid by residents from their private resources.  The states in which these 20 communities are located and Five Star’s existing operations in those states are as follows:

The 20 communities in the Southeast are being purchased by Senior Housing.  Five of these communities will be leased by Five Star for rents totaling $575,000 per month ($6.9 million per year), which rent may increase starting in 2013 based upon percentages of gross revenues at the communities.  The remaining 15 communities will be managed by Five Star for a taxable subsidiary of Senior Housing.  The management fee will be a percentage of gross revenues realized at these communities (estimated to be about $1.8 million to $2.0 million in fees to Five Star in the first year) plus a percentage of net cash flows from these facilities after paying operating costs and an agreed base return to Senior Housing.  The leased facilities will be added to certain combination leases currently existing between Five Star and Senior Housing.  The new management contract will be for a term of 20 years, and Five Star will have two consecutive renewal options of 15 years each.  Five Star will not be required to invest any working capital in connection with this management contract.

 



 

The Southeast area communities to be leased by Five Star are currently approximately 97% occupied.  The communities to be managed by Five Star are currently approximately 85% occupied.  Five Star expects to begin operating the 20 communities to be leased from, and managed for, Senior Housing as Senior Housing acquires these communities starting in June 2011; however, certain of these acquisitions are likely to be delayed and may not be completed until the third quarter of 2011 or thereafter because of required third party consents for debt assumptions or for other reasons.

 

Five Star also announced today that it has recently closed two smaller expansions:

 

·                   On May 1, 2011, Five Star purchased the Granite Gate senior living community in Prescott, AZ for $25.6 million.  This 116 unit high quality community is approximately 97% occupied and all of the residents pay for services with private resources.  The purchase price was paid by Five Star’s assuming a Fannie Mae mortgage for $18.7 million and using cash on hand for the balance.  This community includes approximately 7 acres of land for possible expansion.  Five Star currently operates five other senior living communities in Arizona with 1,042 living units.

 

·                   Also on May 1, 2011, Five Star began to lease Crimson Pointe, a 73 unit assisted living community in Rockford, IL.  This community was recently acquired by Senior Housing and Five Star’s lease requires rent of approximately $50,000/month ($600,000/year) plus percentage rent starting in 2013.  This community is approximately 86% occupied and all the residents of this community pay for services from private resources.  Five Star operates only one other community in Illinois with 112 living units.

 

Five Star was formerly a subsidiary of Senior Housing until it became a separate publicly owned company in 2001; Senior Housing is Five Star’s largest shareholder (approximately 9.0%); one of Five Star’s Managing Directors is also a Managing Trustee of Senior Housing; both Five Star and Senior Housing contract for certain management services from Reit Management & Research LLC, or RMR; and Five Star and Senior Housing have other relationships.  Because of these circumstances, the terms of the bridge loan for Five Star’s acquisition of the Indiana communities and of the leases and management agreements between Five Star and Senior Housing described above were approved by Independent

 



 

Directors of Five Star and Independent Trustees of Senior Housing who are not also Directors or Trustees of the other party and who were represented by separate counsel.

 

Five Star Quality Care, Inc. is a senior living and healthcare services company which owns, leases and manages senior living communities, including primarily private pay independent and assisted living communities located throughout the U.S.  Five Star also operates five institutional pharmacies and two rehabilitation hospitals.  Five Star is headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts.
