A DCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These statements include the accounts of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (AdCare) and its subsidiaries (the Company, or we). The Company delivers skilled nursing, assisted living and home health services through wholly owned separate operating subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in the consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the Annual Report). In the opinion of the Companys management, all adjustments considered for a fair presentation are included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities, such as options, warrants, and non-vested shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Due to the net losses attributable to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no potentially dilutive securities have been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because they would automatically result in anti-dilution.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
There have been no required impairment adjustments to intangible assets and goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Intangible assets consist of the following:

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-07, which is included in the Codification under ASC 954, Health Care Entities. This ASU requires health care entities to separately present bad debt expense related to patient care revenue as a reduction of patient care revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts) on the statement of operations for which the ultimate collection of all or a portion of the amounts billed or billable cannot be determined at the time services are rendered. This ASU also requires certain qualitative disclosures about the Companys policy for recognizing revenue and bad debt expense for patient care services. This ASU will be applied retrospectively effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption but believes that the adoption will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY
The Company had a net loss of approximately $5,162,000 and $201,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and had negative working capital of approximately $383,000 at June 30, 2011. The Companys ability to achieve sustained profitable operations is dependent on continued growth in revenue and controlling costs.
Managements plans with the objective of improving liquidity and profitability in the future encompass the following:
· increase existing facility occupancy;
· acquire skilled nursing properties that have not traditionally concentrated on providing Medicare and post-acute services, and once acquired, to optimize patient care, occupancy, and quality mix; and
· acquire existing cash flowing operations to expand the Companys operations and branch out into other related areas of business.
Management believes that the actions that will be taken by the Company provide the opportunity for the Company to improve liquidity and achieve profitability. However, there can be no assurance that such events will occur.
NOTE 3. SEGMENTS
The Company reports its operations in four segments: skilled nursing facilities (SNF), assisted living facilities (ALF), home based care (Home Health), and Management/Corporate (Management/Corporate). The SNF and ALF segments provide services to individuals needing long term care in a nursing home or assisted living setting and management of those facilities. The Home Health segment provides home health care services to patients while they are living in their own homes. The Management/Corporate segment engages in the management of facilities and accounting and IT services. We evaluate financial performance and allocate resources primarily based on segment operating income (loss). Segment operating results excludes interest expense and other non-operating income and expenses. The table below contains our segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
The skilled nursing business involves a significant risk of liability given the age and health of the Companys patients and residents and the services the Company provides. The Company and others in the industry are subject to an increasing number of claims and lawsuits, including professional liability claims, which may allege that services have resulted in personal injury, elder abuse, wrongful death or other related claims. The defense of these lawsuits may result in significant legal costs, regardless of the outcome, and can result in large settlement amounts or damage awards.
In addition to the potential lawsuits and claims described above, the Company is also subject to potential lawsuits under the Federal False Claims Act and comparable state laws alleging submission of fraudulent claims for services to any healthcare program (such as Medicare) or payer. A violation may provide the basis for exclusion from federally-funded healthcare programs. As of June 30, 2011, the Company does not have any material loss contingencies recorded based on managements evaluation of the probability of loss from known claims.
Special Termination Benefits
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company accrued certain salary retirement and continuation costs of approximately $622,000 related to separation agreements with the Companys former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The benefits include wage continuation and fringe benefits to be paid out during the following 24 months.

Lines of Credit
On February 25, 2011, AdCare joined five additional subsidiaries as additional borrowers in the Credit Agreement that was initially entered into on October 29, 2010, with Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC (Gemino). The additional borrowers increased the amount of credit available to the Company and the maximum amount of the credit facility increased from $5,000,000 to $7,500,000. On April 26, 2011, the original terms of the agreement were modified to reduce the maximum amount of the credit facility to $5,500,000 and a new $2,000,000 revolving note was issued under an affiliated credit agreement by adding two additional subsidiaries. On June 2, 2011, AdCare joined two additional subsidiaries as additional borrowers in the credit agreement. The combined total maximum debt with Gemino remains at $7,500,000.
The Credit Agreement with Gemino contains various financial covenants and other restrictions, including a fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum loan turn days. The Company is required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1:1, which was not met at June 30, 2011; therefore, the Company was not in compliance with this covenant. However, the Company received a waiver of compliance from Gemino on August 10, 2011.
NOTE 8. NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER DEBT (continued)
Mortgage Notes
In February 2011, the Company refinanced the Mountain Trace facility through the issuance of a mortgage note payable to a financial institution for a total amount of $5,000,000 that matures in 2036, 80% of which is insured by the United States Department of Agriculture (the USDA). The USDA mortgage note requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $31,700 adjusted quarterly with a variable interest rate of prime plus 1.75% with a floor of 5.75%. Deferred financing costs incurred on the loan amounted to approximately $174,000 and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. In addition, the loan has an annual renewal fee for the USDA guarantee of 0.25% of the guaranteed portion. The loan has prepayment penalties of 10% through 2011 declining by 1% each year capped at 1% for the first ten years. The loan has certain financial covenants of which the Company was in compliance at June 30, 2011.
To complete the April 29, 2011 acquisition of Southland Care Center, the Company issued a secured promissory for $5,800,000. The note matures on April 30, 2012, accrues interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum and may be repaid without penalty with the principal amount due at maturity. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $5,723,000 net of legal and other financing costs. The note is secured by the Southland Care Center facility and guaranteed by AdCare. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company refinanced this short term note with long term financing (see Note 12). As a result, this short term note is classified as long term because the Company has consummated the refinancing into a long term note.
To complete the April 29, 2011 acquisition of Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center, the Company issued a secured promissory note for $4,500,000. The note matures on April 30, 2012, accrues interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum and may be prepaid at any time without penalty with the principal amount due at maturity. The note is secured by the Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center facility. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,436,000 net of $2,000,000 held in a restricted trust account and $64,000 of legal and other financing costs. The Company plans to replace this short term financing with permanent long term financing prior to the maturity date.
To complete the May 31, 2011 acquisition of College Park Healthcare Center, the Company entered a business loan agreement for $2,840,000. The loan matures on May 1, 2031, accrues interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a minimum rate of 6.25% per annum and may be repaid without penalty with required monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $21,000. The loan is secured by the College Park Healthcare Center facility and guaranteed by AdCare, and by Christopher Brogdon, Vice Chairman and Chief Acquisitions Officer of the Company, and his spouse. Additionally, the Company entered a short term loan agreement for $2,034,000. This loan matures on February 28, 2012, accrues interest at 10% with the principal amount due at maturity. This loan is secured by the College Park Healthcare Center facility as well as the facility known as Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center. From both of these loans, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $4,280,000 net of approximately $487,000 held in a restricted escrow account for required facility improvements and $107,000 of legal and other financing costs. Additionally, the Company has assigned certificates of deposit as additional collateral in the initial amount of $500,000. The Company will be required to pledge additional certificates of deposit over the next eight months until the loan is refinanced and on August 1, 2011 the Company pledged additional cash collateral of $500,000. This loan is also guaranteed by Christopher Brogdon, Vice Chairman and Chief Acquisition Officer of the Company and his spouse. The Company plans to replace this short term financing with permanent long term financing prior to the maturity date.
The Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center and College Park Healthcare Center short term notes above are due within one year but have been classified as long-term notes because the Company is in the process of refinancing these short-term obligations into long-term notes and has demonstrated the ability to consummate the current refinancing agreements.
NOTE 8. NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER DEBT (continued)
Convertible Debt Issuance
On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with certain accredited investors (the Purchasers) to sell and issue to the Purchasers an aggregate of $2,115,000 in principal amount of the Companys Subordinated Convertible Notes (the Notes). On April 29, 2011, the Company issued an additional $1,783,700 in principal amount of the convertible debt issuance. On May 6, 2011, the Company issued an additional $610,000 in principal amount of the Notes. The total outstanding principal amount of the Notes is $4,508,700. Approximately $1,427,000 of the proceeds obtained was used to repay a short-term promissory note and related accrued interest. Net proceeds obtained, after issuance costs, was approximately $2,627,000.
The Notes bear a 10% interest per annum and are payable quarterly in cash in arrears beginning June 30, 2011. The Notes mature on March 31, 2014. Debt issuance costs of $559,100 are being amortized over the life of the Notes.
The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $5.30. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar events.

As consideration for the assignment, Chris Brogdon granted the Company a one year option with a $100,000 exercise price to acquire Riverchase Village under the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Company entered into a five year management contract to manage Riverchase. In June 2011, the option to purchase was extended by one year.
NOTE 9. ACQUISITIONS (continued)
Mountain Trace Acquisition
On December 30, 2010, Mountain Trace Nursing ADK, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare, completed the acquisition of the operations of and selected assets of 417 Mountain Trace LLC, a 106 bed skilled nursing facility located in Sylva, North Carolina, for a purchase price of approximately $6,200,000. This facility was acquired as part of the Companys strategy to grow its presence outside of Ohio within the skilled nursing industry. Through an Operations Transfer Agreement, the Company obtained control of the facility effective January 1, 2011. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized a total gain of approximately $1,100,000 in the consolidated statement of operations. The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because the seller was motivated to sell the facility in order to retire and restructure the composition of their facilities in the states in which they operate. The Company incurred approximately $125,000 for various acquisitions related costs that are reflected net of the gain on acquisition in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The Company had paid $200,000 in earnest money upon entering the purchase agreement and an additional $50,000 to extend the closing date to December 30, 2010. To complete the acquisition, the AdCare issued a secured promissory note for $5,000,000. The note was to mature on June 30, 2011 and accrued interest at a fixed rate of 7% per annum and could be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Note was secured by the Mountain Trace facility and was guaranteed by AdCare and personally guaranteed by Chris Brogdon, Vice Chairman and Chief Acquisition Officer of the Company.
On February 11, 2011, the Company refinanced the short term note that was entered into for the Mountain Trace acquisition with a long term note. The new note is also for $5,000,000, has a term of 25 years and bears interest at prime rate of no less than 4% plus 1.75% (see Note 8).

NOTE 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Employee Common Stock Warrants & Options
The Company entered an employment agreement effective January 10, 2011, with Boyd Gentry, Chief Executive Officer. Terms of the agreement included equity compensation of a warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price per share equal to $4.13 per share. One third of the warrants vested on January 10, 2011, and the remaining two thirds shall vest ratably on the day before each of the two subsequent anniversaries. The warrant is exercisable until the term expires in January, 2021. Using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, the fair value of the warrant was estimated at $2.72 per share and will be recognized as share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award.
On June 3, 2011, the Companys shareholders approved the 2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (2011 Plan) which provides for the granting of a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The 2011 Plan is intended to further the growth and profitability of the Company by providing increased incentives to and encourage share ownership on the part of key employees, officers and directors of, and consultants and advisers who render services to the Company, and any future parent or subsidiary of the Company. The 2011 Plan permits the granting of stock options and restricted stock awards (collectively, Awards) to eligible participants. If an Award expires or is canceled without having been fully exercised or vested, the unvested or canceled shares will be available again for grants of Awards.
On June 3, 2011, the Company granted incentive stock options to select members of management. A total of 147,000 options were granted with an exercise price per share of $5.75. The options shall vest ratably on the day before each of the three subsequent anniversaries. The options are exercisable until the term expires in June, 2021. Using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, the fair value of the options was estimated at $3.83 per share and will be recognized as share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award.
NOTE 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)
Nonemployee Common Stock Warrants
On March 31, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note up to a maximum of $5,500,000. In connection with this financing arrangement, the Company issued to the placement agent a warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price per share equal to $5.30. The warrant is exercisable until the term expires in March, 2014. Using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, the fair value of the warrant was estimated at $1.32 per share and will be recognized as expense over the term of the related promissory note.
On May 1, 2011, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Noble Finance. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued 50,000 warrants to Noble Finance to purchase common stock with an exercise price per share equal to $4.50. The warrants vest over an eight month period from May through December 2011. The warrants are exercisable until the term expires in May, 2016. Using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, the fair value of the warrants were estimated at $2.08 per share and will be recognized as expense over the term of the agreement.

During 2010, the Company issued subordinated convertible notes in which it was determined that the conversion feature was required to be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately as a derivative liability recorded at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with changes in fair value being reported in the consolidated statement of operations.
NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated for disclosure all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Debt Financing
On July 27, 2011, the Company refinanced the $5,800,000 short-term mortgage note (see Note 8) obtained to acquire the Southland Care Center with two long-term notes with a financial institution: 1) a mortgage note for $5,000,000 (SCC USDA Loan) partially guaranteed at 70% by the USDA; and 2) a mortgage note for $800,000 (SCC SBA Loan) partially guaranteed at 75% by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
The SCC USDA Loan matures July 2036, accrued interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% (adjusted every calendar quarter) with a minimum rate of 6.0% and required monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $33,000. The SCC USDA Loan is secured by the SCC facility and assets, is subject to prepayment penalties and certain financial covenants, and requires $250,000 of renovations to the SCC facility by July 2013, of which $125,000 was required to be deposited into a restricted reserve account. One-time origination and guaranty costs totaling $126,000 were incurred. In addition, there is a 0.25% USDA guarantee fee payable on December 31 of each year on the guaranteed portion of the outstanding balance of the note.
The SCC SBA Loan matures July 2036, accrues interest at the prime rate plus 2.25% (adjusted every calendar quarter) and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000. The SSC SBA Loan is secured by the SSC facility and assets and is also subject to certain prepayment penalties.
Potential Acquisitions
Effective August 1, 2011, entities controlled by Chris Brogdon, Vice Chairman and Chief Acquisition Officer of the Company obtained control of five skilled nursing facilities in Oklahoma. The Company began providing certain administrative services to these facilities and is negotiating an option agreement that could provide the Company the exclusive rights to acquire the facilities in the future. If these agreements are executed, it is likely that the Company would have significant variable interests in the five facilities and would be required to consider consolidation of these entities as variable interest entities. Management will further consider the accounting impacts of this transaction in the third quarter of 2011.
Equity Activity
Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company has experienced a significant amount of exercise activity related to certain outstanding warrants. As of August 9, 2011, this exercise activity has resulted in approximately $2,189,000 in additional cash proceeds available to the Company from the issuance of 935,445 shares of common stock.

2011 Acquisitions
We have embarked on a strategy to grow our business through acquisitions and leases of senior care facilities and businesses providing services to those facilities. During 2009, we engaged a Chief Acquisition Officer with the primary purpose of identifying acquisition opportunities in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. For a detailed discussion of acquisition activity through December 31, 2010, see the Managements Discussion and Analysis included in the Annual Report.
Effective January 1, 2011, we acquired the operations of and selected assets of Mountain Trace, a 106 bed skilled nursing facility located in Sylva, North Carolina.
On April 29, 2011, we acquired the operations of and selected assets of Southland Care Center, a 130 bed skilled nursing facility located in Dublin, Georgia. Through an Operations Transfer Agreement, we obtained control of the facility effective May 1, 2011.
Also, on April 29, 2011, we acquired the operations of and selected assets of Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center, a 109 bed skilled nursing facility located in Marietta, Georgia. Through an Operations Transfer Agreement, we obtained control of the facility effective May 1, 2011.
Also, on May 31, 2011, we acquired the operations of and selected assets of College Park Healthcare Center, a 100 bed skilled nursing facility located in College Park, Georgia. Through an Operations Transfer Agreement, we obtained control of the facility effective June 1, 2011.
Pending Acquisitions
On March 14, 2011, the Company entered a purchase agreement for the asset purchase of four skilled nursing facilities in Arkansas, the acquisition of a 10-year lease for one skilled nursing facility in Missouri and certain corporate office space all owned by a private seller. The five facilities have 506 beds in total (416 in Arkansas and 90 in Missouri). The purchase price is $20,000,000. The Company paid a $250,000 earnest money deposit upon signing the purchase agreement, and an additional $100,000 on July 29, 2011. The earnest money deposit is refundable subject to certain terms and conditions. The Company is currently expecting to finalize Operations Transfer Agreements and effectively obtain control of these facilities sometime between September 1, 2011 and October 1, 2011.
On June 27, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Epic Group Limited Partnership and certain of its affiliated entities, collectively as sellers, to: (a) purchase two skilled nursing facilities located in North Carolina and South Carolina, (b) acquire all of sellers right, title and interest in, and shall assume all of sellers obligations under, lease agreements with respect to nine skilled nursing facilities which are currently leased to sellers and which are located in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, and (c) acquire all of sellers right, title and interest in, and shall assume all of sellers obligations under, the management agreements with respect to four skilled nursing facilities which are currently managed by sellers and which are located in Tennessee. The Company deposited $500,000 on June 30, 2011 into escrow to be held as earnest money, which may be returned if the purchase agreement is terminated under certain circumstances. The purchase price consists of: (i) $21,650,000 (including the deposit), subject to certain adjustments; (ii) a number of shares of the Companys common stock with an aggregate value of $5,000,000, with each such share valued at the ten-day average closing price for the period ending on the last business day prior to the closing date; and (iii) a five-year promissory note in principal amount of $3,217,000 (subject to adjustment) to be issued at closing in favor of the sellers, which bears interest at an annual rate of 7%, with interest being payable monthly in arrears and principal payments being payable quarterly. The Company also shall assume at closing indebtedness under certain loans up to an aggregate amount of approximately $8,700,000. To the extent the indebtedness under such loans is less than such amount, then the principal amount of the promissory note shall increase on a dollar-for-dollar basis and the amount of the quarterly principal payments shall be adjusted accordingly. The closing of the transactions is expected to occur on October 1, 2011, subject to extension by the Company to November 1, 2011 or December 1, 2011. The closing of the transactions is subject to customary closing conditions and termination provisions.
Effective August 1, 2011, entities controlled by Chris Brogdon, Vice Chairman and Chief Acquisition Officer of the Company obtained control of five skilled nursing facilities in Oklahoma. The Company began providing certain administrative services to these facilities and is negotiating an option agreement that could provide the Company the exclusive
rights to acquire the facilities in the future. If these agreements are executed, it is likely that the Company would have significant variable interests in the five facilities and would be required to consider consolidation of these entities as variable interest entities. Management will further consider the accounting impacts of this transaction in the third quarter of 2011.
We are currently evaluating several acquisition opportunities, in addition to those described above, and we plan to continue to seek new opportunities to further our growth strategy. No assurances can be made that any of these opportunities will be determined to be appropriate or that they may be acquired on terms acceptable to us.
Segments
The Company reports its operations in four segments: SNF, ALF, Home Health, and Management/Corporate. The Company delivers skilled nursing, assisted living and home health services through wholly owned separate operating subsidiaries. The SNF and ALF segments provide services to individuals needing long term care in a nursing home or assisted living setting and management of those facilities. The Home Health segment provides home health care services to patients while they are living in their own homes. The Management/Corporate segment engages in the management of facilities and accounting and IT services. We evaluate financial performance and allocate resources primarily based on segment operating income (loss). Segment operating results excludes interest expense and other non-operating income and expenses. See Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section of Part I, Item 1 of this form 10-Q.
Skilled Nursing Facility Segment
We focus on two primary indicators in evaluating the financial performance in this segment. Those indicators are facility occupancy and patient mix. Facility occupancy is important as higher occupancy generally leads to higher revenue. In addition, concentrating on increasing the number of Medicare and commercial insurance covered admissions (patient mix) helps in increasing revenue. We include commercial insurance covered admissions that are reimbursed at the same level as those covered by Medicare in our Medicare utilization percentages and analysis.

Medicare reimbursement rates and procedures are subject to change from time to time, which could materially impact our revenue. Medicare reimburses our skilled nursing facilities under a prospective payment system (PPS) for certain inpatient covered services. Under the PPS, facilities are paid a predetermined amount per patient, per day, based on the anticipated costs of treating patients. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into a resource utilization group (RUG) category that is based upon each patients acuity level. On July 29, 2011, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a final rule reducing Medicare skilled nursing facility PPS payments in fiscal year 2012 by $3.87 billion, or 11.1% lower than payments for fiscal year 2011. CMS announced it is recalibrating the case-mix indexes (CMIs) for fiscal year 2012 to restore overall payments to their intended levels on a prospective basis. Each RUG group consists of CMIs that reflect a patients severity of illness and the services that a patient requires in the skilled nursing facility. In transitioning from the previous classification system to the new RUG-IV, CMS adjusted the CMIs for fiscal year 2011 based on forecasted utilization under this new classification system to establish parity in overall payments. The fiscal year 2011 recalibration of the CMIs will result in a reduction to skilled nursing facility payments of $4.47 billion, or 12.6%. However, this reduction would be partially offset by the fiscal year 2012 update to Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities. The update, a 1.7% or $600 million increase, reflects a 2.7% market basket increase, reduced by a 1.0% multi-factor productivity (MFP) adjustment mandated by the Affordable Care Act. The combined MFP-adjusted market basket increase and the fiscal year 2012 recalibration will yield a net reduction of $3.87 billion, or 11.1%.
The State of Ohio has released several statements regarding Medicaid indicating that cuts in reimbursement to nursing homes are likely to be as high as 7%. At this time, we do not anticipate significant changes in reimbursement to nursing homes in Alabama, Georgia or North Carolina. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Medicaid covered patients of our skilled nursing facilities comprised approximately 75.8% of our total skilled nursing facility patients.
Assisted Living Facility Segment
Similar to our skilled nursing segment, in our assisted living segment, we focus on facility occupancy and staffing.

Residents of our assisted living facilities rely on their personal investments and wealth to pay for their stay. Recent declines in market values of investments could limit their ability to pay for services or shorten the period of time for which they can pay privately for their stay. The depressed market for the sale of homes could limit their ability to sell their personal assets further reducing their ability to remain in our facilities. Furthermore, adult children who have recently become unemployed may decide to care for their parent at home so that their parents income may help offset some of their own financial burdens. We do not believe this is a trend and we believe facility occupancy will improve.
Home Based Care Segment
In addition to providing home health care services to patients in their homes, we are utilizing our Home Health services in our assisted living and independent living properties in Ohio to create cross selling opportunities. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the percentage of our home health patients covered by Medicare has decreased 19.2% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. We are reviewing our current strategies to attempt to correct the downturn of results in this segment.
Management/Corporate Segment
We manage four skilled nursing facilities, one assisted living facility and one independent living campus for third party owners. Additionally, we provide accounting and IT services to others. Our contracts for these services are for either a fixed monthly fee or for a percentage of revenue generated by the managed facility. Depending on the type of contract, our revenues increase annually according to inflationary adjustments stipulated in our management agreements or they increase as the facilitys revenue increases for the contracts that are based on a percentage of revenue. This segment includes our corporate overhead expenses which are made up of salaries of senior management team members and various other corporate expenses including, but not limited to, corporate office operating expenses, audit fees, legal fees and board activities. Additionally, non cash charges for compensation expense related to warrants, restricted stock and stock options are included in corporate overhead.
We dont allocate these expenses to the divisions or separate them from management and development business for management review purposes.
Results of Operations
Comparison for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010
Patient Care Revenues - For the periods presented, total patient care revenues increased $28.6 million, or 502%.
Revenue in our SNF segment increased approximately $28,232,000 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of acquisitions that occurred after June 30, 2010. Additionally, revenue in our legacy properties (those that we owned and operated prior to our recent acquisitions which began in August, 2010) increased by approximately $494,300. This segment had a net income from operations of $1,571,000 which is $1,519,000 higher compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of higher revenue due to acquisitions and increased occupancy and more residents covered by Medicare. We plan to increase facility occupancy and to increase the number of patients covered by Medicare. We expect to continue to implement and refine strategies to achieve these goals.
Revenue in our ALF segment increased approximately $536,000 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, as a result of increased revenue from an acquisition. Revenue in our legacy properties (those that we owned and operated prior to our acquisition of Riverchase Village in June, 2010) increased by approximately $198,200. This segment had income from operations of $378,000 which is $226,000 more than 2010 as a result of increased occupancy and an annual increase in rates charged to residents of the facilities.
Revenue in our Home Health segment declined when compared to the same period in 2010, as a result of fewer patients and fewer patients covered by Medicare. The decline in revenues resulted in a loss from operations of approximately $105,000, compared with operating income of $24,000 for the same period in 2010.
Management Revenue - For the periods presented, management revenues decreased $37,000, or 7%, as a result of lower fees earned from our managed facilities. Net loss from operations was $1,108,000 due primarily to corporate overhead, costs for acquisitions and non cash charges for compensation expense related to warrants, restricted stock and employee stock options.
Payroll and Related Payroll Costs - For the periods presented, payroll and related payroll costs increased $15.2 million, or 382%, resulting primarily from the acquisition of 16 skilled nursing facilities and the variable interest entity. We also increased our corporate overhead structure and opened an accounting service center located in Roswell, Georgia during the second quarter of 2011. Annual employee wage adjustments also added to the increase.
Other Operating Expenses - For the periods presented, other operating costs increased $9.5 million, or 442%. The increase is directly related to the operations of the recently acquired skilled nursing facilities. Management/Corporate shows a credit due to the inclusion of eliminating entries.

Depreciation and Amortization - For the periods presented, depreciation and amortization increased $477,000. The depreciation increase is directly related to acquisition activity that was not included in the 2010 results as it occurred in later periods. In addition, the acquisitions resulted in financing costs and intangibles that are being amortized during the period (see tables presented below).
Retirement and Salary Continuation Costs - For the period ended June 2011, retirement and salary continuation costs were $622,000; there were no costs recorded in the comparative period. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we accrued certain retirement and salary continuation costs of approximately $622,000 related to separation agreements with the Companys former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The benefits include wage continuation and fringe benefits to be paid out during the following 24 months.
Interest Expense, net - For the periods presented, interest expense, net increased $1.6 million, or 522%. We have entered into numerous debt instruments in relation to our growth strategy for the acquisition of the facilities which began in the third quarter of 2010. In addition, several of the arrangements are short term in nature resulting in higher interest rates than previously experienced.
Acquisition Costs, net of Gains - For the period ended June 30, 2011, acquisition costs, net of gains was an expense of $622,000, compared to a net gain of $808,000 for the comparative period. For the period ended June 30, 2011, $547,000 of the total acquisition costs were legal fees and finders fees directly related to the purchase of Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center, Southland Care Center, and College Park Healthcare Center. Through separate Operations Transfer Agreements, the Company obtained control of the Autumn Breeze and Southland facilities effective May 1, 2011. A final Operations Transfer Agreement allowed the Company to obtain control of the College Park facility effective June 1, 2011. The remaining $75,000 of costs for the period were IT consulting expenses, acquisition expenses, and accounting costs related to the change of ownership requirements. The facilities were purchased at fair market value; therefore, there were no bargain purchase gains recognized. For the same time frame in 2010, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $808,000 resulting from the purchase of Riverchase Village, the variable interest entity. The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because the previous business was in foreclosure and the facility was being operated under receivership.
Derivative Loss - For the period ended June 2011, the derivative loss was $2.59 million, and there were no costs recorded in the comparative period. The derivative is a product of a debt instrument entered into during the third quarter of 2010. The expense associated with the derivative increases as the stock price climbs.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment - For the period ended June 2011, the loss on debt extinguishment was $77,000, and there were no costs recorded in the comparative period. On March 31, 2011, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,385,000. We paid a commitment fee of 4%, or $55,400, in connection with the promissory note. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we obtained additional proceeds from issuance of convertible debt. A portion of the net proceeds obtained were used to repay this promissory note. At the time of repayment, we recorded the loss on debt extinguishment resulting from unamortized deferred financing costs.
Other Income/(Expense) - For the periods presented, other expenses decreased $12,000.
Income Tax Expense - For the periods presented, income tax expense increased $125,000. In the last two quarters of 2010, we acquired certain facilities which resulted in the recognition of indefinite lived intangible assets. Due to the nature of these assets and the tax treatment associated with it, we record a deferred tax liability which was not present in the June 2010 quarter. In addition, we recorded income taxes due of $73,800 related to estimates of current state income taxes payable during the quarter.
Comparison for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010
Patient Care Revenues - For the periods presented, total patient care revenues increased $53.8 million, or 465%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue in our SNF segment increased approximately $53,115,000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of acquisitions that occurred after June 30, 2010. Additionally, revenue in our legacy properties (those that we owned and operated prior to our recent acquisitions which began in August, 2010) increased by approximately $575,500. This segment had a net income from operations of $2,076,000, which is $1,928,000 greater than net income from operations for this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of higher revenue due to the acquisition of sixteen new facilities, as well as, increased occupancy and a greater number of residents covered by Medicare. We plan to increase facility occupancy and to increase the number of patients covered by Medicare. We expect to continue to implement and refine strategies to achieve these goals.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue in our ALF segment increased approximately $985,000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, as a result of increased revenue from an acquisition. Additionally, revenue in our legacy properties (those that we owned and operated prior to our acquisition of Riverchase Village in June, 2010) increased by approximately $283,000. This segment had income from operations of $582,000, which is $185,000 greater than income from operations for the same period in 2010 as a result of acquisitions and increased occupancy and an annual increase in rates charged to residents of the facilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue in our Home Health segment declined when compared to the same period in 2010, as a result of fewer patients and fewer patients covered by Medicare. The decline in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulted in a loss from operations of approximately $161,000, compared with operating income of $68,000 for the same period in 2010.
Management Revenues - For the periods presented, management revenues decreased $48,000, or 5%, as a result of lower fees earned from our managed facilities.
Payroll and Related Payroll Costs - For the periods presented, payroll and related payroll costs increased $29.2 million, or 364%, resulting primarily from the acquisition of 16 skilled nursing facilities and the variable interest entity. We also increased our corporate overhead structure and opened an accounting service center located in Roswell, Georgia during the second quarter of 2011. Adding to the increase was $48,300 in non cash compensation expense related to warrants and restricted stock issued to members of management and annual employee wage increases.
Other Operating Expense - For the periods presented, other operating costs increased $17.9 million, or 429%. The increase is directly related to the operations of the recently acquired skilled nursing facilities, as well as minor increases in other segments. Management/Corporate shows a credit due to the inclusion of eliminating entries.

Acquisition Costs, net of Gains - For the period ended June 30, 2011, acquisition costs, net of gains was a net gain of $357,000, compared to a net gain of $1,634,000 for the comparative period. The $357,200 acquisition costs, net of gains for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were the result of a $1,039,000 gain on the purchase of the Mountain Trace facility. The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because the seller was motivated to sell the facility in order to retire and restructure the composition of their facilities in the states in which they operate. Through an Operations Transfer Agreement, the Company obtained control of the facility effective January 1, 2011. This net gain was offset by $547,000 of legal fees and finders fees directly related to the purchase of Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center, Southland Care Center, and College Park Healthcare Center. Through separate Operations Transfer Agreements, the Company obtained control of the Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center and Southland Care Center facilities effective May 1, 2011. A final Operations Transfer Agreement allowed the Company to obtain control of the College Park Healthcare Center facility effective June 1, 2011. The remaining $135,000 were
IT consulting expenses, acquisition expenses, and accounting costs related to the change of ownership requirements. The facilities were purchased at fair market value; therefore there were no bargain purchase gains recognized. In comparison, in 2010 we acquired our partners 50% noncontrolling interest in three assisted living facilities. The combined purchase price for the acquisition was $500,000. As a result, we recognized a gain of approximately $826,000. We also recognized a net gain of approximately $808,000 resulting from the purchase of Riverchase Village, the variable interest entity. The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because the previous business was in foreclosure and the facility was being operated under receivership.
Derivative Loss - For the period ended June 2011, the derivative loss was $3.9 million; there were no costs recorded in the comparative period. The derivative is a product of a debt instrument entered into during the third quarter of 2010. The expense associated with the derivative increases as the stock price climbs.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment - For the period ended June 2011, the loss on debt extinguishment was $77,000; there were no costs recorded in the comparative period. On March 31, 2011, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,385,000. We paid a commitment fee of 4%, or $55,400 in connection with the promissory note. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we obtained additional proceeds from issuance of convertible debt. A portion of the net proceeds obtained were used to repay this promissory note. At the time of repayment, we recorded the loss on debt extinguishment resulting from unamortized deferred financing costs.
Other Income/(Expense) - For the period ended June 30, 2011, other income of $587,0000 was recorded, compared with other expense of $34,000 for the comparative period, a net change of $621,000. In the acquisition of five leased facilities in 2010, we purchased receivables and recorded them at the estimated value at the time of acquisition. We were able to collect substantially more of the receivables than expected by $632,000, resulting in the additional income for 2011.
Income Tax Expense - For the periods presented, income tax expense increased $210,000. The increase over prior year is primarily due to the acquisition of certain facilities which resulted in the recognition of indefinite lived intangible assets. Due to the nature of these assets and the tax treatment associated with it, we record a deferred tax liability which was not present in the June 2010 quarter. In addition, we generated taxable income through June 30, 2011. This income is offset at the federal level by loss carry forwards, however we will owe taxes in a number of states that we now operate in and have recorded $73,800 as an estimate of taxes due.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
There have been no significant changes during the three month period ended June 30, 2011 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and use of estimates in our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation contained in the Annual Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been derived from our cash flow from operations, our revolving credit facilities, and long term debt secured by our real property. We had a net working capital deficit as of June 30, 2011, of approximately $383,000 as compared to net working capital of approximately $708,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of approximately $1,091,000. This decrease is primarily the result of cash used as part of our acquisition financing activities.
Some of our properties are financed with loans secured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These loans limit our use of the cash generated by the properties for purposes other than to fund the operations of the HUD financed property. In January and July each year, we are permitted to withdraw cash from these properties if a calculation of cash flow determines that the properties have generated cash in excess of what is needed to fund the expenses of the property in the short term. When the calculation indicates there is available cash, we withdraw the funds from the property and deposit them in an interest bearing checking account and hold them for future use in operations. Of our unrestricted cash balance of approximately $5,661,000, there was approximately $1,316,000 of cash that was subject to these requirements as of June 30, 2011
On March 31, 2011, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors to sell and issue an aggregate of $2,115,000 in principal amount of Notes, which bear 10.0% interest per annum payable quarterly in cash in arrears beginning June 30, 2011. On April 29, 2011, we issued an additional $1,783,700 in principal amount of the Notes. On May 6, 2011, we issued an additional $610,000 in principal amount of the convertible debt issuance. Net proceeds obtained, after issuance costs, was approximately $2,170,000. The Notes mature on March 31, 2014. The Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price $5.30. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar events. The Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to existing and future senior indebtedness.
On February 25, 2011, we joined five additional subsidiaries as additional borrowers in the Credit Agreement that was initially entered into on October 29, 2010, with Gemino. The additional borrowers increased the amount of credit available to us and the maximum amount of the credit facility increased from $5,000,000 to $7,500,000. On April 26, 2011, the original terms of the agreement were modified to reduce the maximum amount of the credit facility to $5,500,000 and a new $2,000,000 revolving note was issued under an affiliated credit agreement by adding two additional subsidiaries as borrowers. On June 2, 2011, we joined two additional subsidiaries as additional borrowers in the credit agreement. The combined total maximum debt with Gemino remains at $7,500,000.
In February 2011, we refinanced the Mountain Trace facility through the issuance of a mortgage note payable to a financial institution for a total amount of $5,000,000 that matures in 2036. The USDA mortgage note requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $31,700 adjusted quarterly with a variable interest rate of prime plus 1.75% with a floor of 5.75%. Deferred financing costs incurred on the loan amounted to approximately $174,000 and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. In addition, the loan has an annual renewal fee for the USDA guarantee of 0.25% of the guaranteed portion. The loan has prepayment penalties of 10% through 2011 declining by 1% each year capped at 1% for the first ten years.
Also, on March 31, 2011, we issued a Promissory Note in the amount of $1,385,000. The promissory note bears interest at the rate of 12% and matures on July 1, 2011. We paid a commitment fee of 4% or $55,400 in connection with the promissory note. Of this amount, approximately $1,427,000 was used to repay a short-term promissory note and related accrued interest.
To complete the April 29, 2011 acquisition of Southland Care Center, we issued a secured promissory for $5,800,000. The note matures on April 30, 2012, accrues interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum and may be repaid without penalty with the principal amount due at maturity. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $5,723,000 net of legal and other financing costs. The note is secured by the Southland Care Center facility. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company refinanced this short term note with long term financing.
To complete the April 29, 2011 acquisition of Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center, we issued a secured promissory note for $4,500,000. The note matures on April 30, 2012, accrues interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum and may be prepaid at any time without penalty with the principal amount due at maturity. The note is secured by the facility. We received net proceeds of approximately $2,436,000, net of $2,000,000 held in a restricted trust account and $64,000 of legal and other financing costs. We plan to replace this short term financing with permanent long term financing prior to the maturity date.
To complete the May 31, 2011 acquisition of College Park Healthcare Center, we entered a loan agreement for $2,840,000. The loan matures on May 1, 2031, accrues interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a minimum rate of 6.25% per annum and may be repaid without penalty with required monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $21,000. The loan is secured by the facility and guaranteed by Christopher Brogdon, Vice Chairman and Chief Acquisition Officer of the Company, and his spouse. Additionally, we entered a short term loan agreement for $2,034,000. This loan matures on February 28, 2012, accrues interest at 10% with the principal amount due at maturity. This loan is secured by the facility as well as the Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center facility. From both of these loans, we received net proceeds of approximately $4,280,000, net of approximately $487,000 held in a restricted escrow account for required facility improvements and $107,000 of legal and other financing costs. Additionally, we have assigned certificates of deposit as additional collateral in the initial amount of $500,000. We are required to pledge additional certificates of deposit over the next eight months until the loan is refinanced, and on August 1, 2011, we pledged additional cash collateral of $500,000. This loan is also guaranteed by Christopher Brogdon and his spouse. We plan to replace this short term financing with permanent long term financing prior to the maturity date.
On June 10, 2011, we entered into promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, which mature April 1, 2013, and bear interest at the per annum rate equal to 11%, payable quarterly in arrears the first day of each January, April, July and October beginning July 1, 2011. The notes are subject to mandatory prepayment in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 on each of October 1, 2011, April 1, 2012 and October 1, 2012. The notes may also be prepaid without penalty by providing fifteen days prior notice. We received proceeds of $895,000 net of legal and other financing costs.
On July 27, 2011, we refinanced the $5,800,000 short-term mortgage note obtained to acquire the Southland Care Center with two long-term notes with a financial institution: 1) the SSC USDA Loan, which is for $5,000,000 partially guaranteed at 70% by the USDA; and 2) the SCC SBL Loan, which is for $800,000 partially guaranteed at 75% by the SBA. The SCC USDA Loan matures July 2036, accrued interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% (adjusted every calendar quarter) with a minimum rate of 6.0% and required monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $33,000. The SCC USDA Loan is secured by the SCC facility and assets, is subject to prepayment penalties and certain financial covenants, and requires $250,000 of renovations to the SCC facility by July 2013, of which $125,000 was required to be deposited into a restricted reserve account. One-time origination and guaranty costs totaling $126,000 were incurred. In addition, there is a 0.25% USDA guarantee fee payable on December 31 of each year on the guaranteed portion of the outstanding balance of the note. The SCC SBA Loan matures July 2036, accrues interest at the prime rate plus 2.25% (adjusted every calendar quarter) and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000. The SSC SBA Loan is secured by the SSC facility and assets and is also subject to certain prepayment penalties.
We plan to further improve liquidity by 1) refinancing debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms, 2) increasing facility occupancy and skilled mix, and 3) securing alternative capital, financing and investment sources, including cash proceeds from the exercise of our warrants to fund the our strategic business plan.
Statement of Cash Flows
Our cash requirements are satisfied primarily with cash generated from operating activities, financing activities and additional indebtedness. Our cash flow is dependent on our ability to collect accounts receivable in a timely manner. The majority of our revenue is from Medicaid and Medicare programs. These are reliable payment sources which make our likelihood of collection very high. However, the time it takes to receive payment on a claim from these sources can take up to several months.
Six months ended June 30, 2011
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was approximately $1,232,000 consisting primarily of our income from operations less the noncash gain on acquisitions, and changes in working capital, and noncash charges (primarily depreciation and amortization, the derivative loss, share-based compensation, difference between straight-
line rent and rent paid, and amortization of debt discounts and related deferred financing costs); all primarily the result of routine operating activity.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was approximately $7,846,000. This is primarily the result of funding our acquisitions, including making escrow deposits.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $8,363,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This is primarily the result of increases in borrowings on the line of credit, proceeds from debt financings to fund our acquisitions, partially offset by repayments of existing debt obligations.
Six months ended June 30, 2010
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $321,000 consisting primarily of our net loss from operations and changes in working capital partially offset by noncash charges all primarily the result of routine operating activity.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $1,348,000. This is primarily the result of escrow deposits for the acquisition of two facilities, the purchase of the remaining 50% noncontrolling interest in Communitys Hearth & Home and Hearth & Home of Urbana assisted living facilities, and the purchase of additional equipment partially offset by an increase in restricted cash due to routine payment into HUD required escrow accounts.
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $55,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This is primarily the result of routine principal payments on existing loans partially offset by $57,000 drawn from our line of credit and $224,000 received upon the exercise of warrants.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of Rule 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15(e) of Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the second quarter of 2011, AdCares regional accounting office began to provide accounting, human resources and payroll services to certain of our facilities. Additionally, we are in the process of implementing a new accounting software system that should be fully operational in the fourth quarter to provide more efficient access to information and more robust reporting. Other than the aforementioned, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and are subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that our services have resulted in injury or death to the residents of our facilities and claims related to employment, staffing requirements and commercial matters. Although we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these matters, there can be no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We operate in an industry that is extremely regulated. As such, in the ordinary course of business, we are continuously subject to state and federal regulatory scrutiny, supervision and control. Such regulatory scrutiny often includes inquiries, investigations, examinations, audits, site visits and surveys, some of which are non-routine. In addition to being subject to direct regulatory oversight of state and federal regulatory agencies, our industry is frequently subject to the regulatory practices, which could subject us to civil, administrative or criminal fines, penalties or restitutionary relief, and reimbursement authorities could also seek the suspension or exclusion of the provider or individual from participation in their program. We believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of long-term care providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Adverse determinations in legal proceedings or governmental investigations against or involving us, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and trading price of our common stock. Please refer to our Annual Report for additional information concerning these and other uncertainties that could negatively impact the Company.
The information set forth in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this report regarding the issuances of (i) incentive stock options to select members of management on June 3, 2011, and (ii) warrants to Noble Finance on May 1, 2011 (collectively, the Issuances), is incorporated herein by reference. The Issuances were made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) thereof.
The agreements included as exhibits to this report are included to provide information regarding the terms of these agreements and are not intended to provide any other factual or disclosure information about the Company, its business or the other parties to these agreements. These agreements may contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and:
· should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;
· have been qualified by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement, which disclosures are not necessarily reflected in the agreement;
· may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material to investors; and
· were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement and are subject to more recent developments.
Accordingly, these representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time, and should not be relied upon by investors.

NOTE |
1. PROMISE TO PAY:
In return for the Loan, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender the amount of Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($800,000.00) interest on the unpaid principal balance, and all other amounts required by this Note.
2. DEFINITIONS:
Collateral means any property taken as security for payment of this Note or any guarantee of this Note.
Guarantor means each person or entity that signs a guarantee of payment of this Note.
Loan means the loan evidenced by this Note.
Loan Documents means the documents related to this loan signed by Borrower, any Guarantor, or anyone who pledges collateral.
SBA means the Small Business Administration, an Agency of the United States of America.
3. PAYMENT TERMS:
Borrower must make all payments at the place Lender designates. The payment terms for this Note are:
1. Maturity : This Note will mature in 25 years from date of Note.
2. Repayment Terms : Lender must insert onto SBA Note, Form 147, to be executed by Borrower, the following terms, without modification. Lender must complete all blank terms on the Note at time of closing.
The interest rate on this Note will fluctuate. The initial interest rate is 5.50% per year. This initial rate is the prime rate in effect on the first business day of the month in which SBA received the loan application, plus 2.25%. The initial interest rate must remain in effect until the first change period begins.
Borrower must pay principal and interest payments of $4,921.00 every month, beginning two months from the month this Note is dated; payments must be made on the first calendar day in the months they are due.
Lender will apply each installment payment first to pay interest accrued to the day Lender receives the payment, then to bring principal current, then to pay any late fees, and will apply any remaining balance to reduce principal.
The interest rate will be adjusted every calendar quarter (the change period).
The Prime Rate is the prime rate in effect on the first business day of the month (as published in the Wall Street Journal) in which SBA received the application, or any interest rate change occurs. Base Rates will be rounded to two decimal places with .004 being rounded down and .005 being rounded up.
The adjusted interest rate will be 2.25% above the Prime Rate. Lender will adjust the interest rate on the first calendar day of each change period. The change in interest rate is effective on that day whether or not Lender gives Borrower notice of the change.
Lender must adjust the payment amount at least annually as needed to amortize principal over the remaining term of the note.
If SBA purchases the guaranteed portion of the unpaid principal balance, the interest rate becomes fixed at the rate in effect at the time of the earliest uncured payment default. If there is no uncured payment default, the rate becomes fixed at the rate in effect at the time of purchase.
Loan Prepayment:
Notwithstanding any provision in this Note to the contrary:
Borrower may prepay this Note. Borrower may prepay 20% or less of the unpaid principal balance at any time without notice. If Borrower prepays more than 20% and the Loan has been sold on the secondary market, Borrower must:
a. Give Lender written notice;
b. Pay all accrued interest; and
c. If the prepayment is received less than 21 days from the date Lender receives the notice, pay an amount equal to 21 days interest from the date lender receives the notice, less any interest accrued during the 21 days and paid under subparagraph b., above.
If Borrower does not prepay within 30 days from the date Lender receives the notice, Borrower must give Lender a new notice.
Subsidy Recoupment Fee. When in any one of the first three years from the date of initial disbursement Borrower voluntarily prepays more than 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan, Borrower must pay to Lender on behalf of SBA a prepayment fee for that year as follows:
a. During the first year after the date on which the loan is first disbursed, 5% of the total prepayment amount;
b. During the second year after the date on which the loan is first disbursed, 3% of the total prepayment amount; and
c. During the third year after the date on which the loan is first disbursed, 1% of the total prepayment amount.
All remaining principal and accrued interest is due and payable 25 years from date of Note.
Late Charge: If a payment on this Note is more than 10 days late, Lender may charge Borrower a late fee of up to 5.00% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.

B. Collect all amounts owing from any Borrower or Guarantor;
C. File suit and obtain judgment;

This Deed is intended to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing the title to the Premises to Lender and is made under those provisions of the existing laws of the State of Georgia relating to deeds to secure debt, and not as a mortgage, and is given to secure the payment of the following described indebtedness (hereinafter referred to collectively as the Indebtedness):
(a) The debt evidenced by that certain promissory note (hereinafter referred to as the Note) dated of even date herein, made by Borrower to the order of Lender in the principal face amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), with the final payment being due on or before July 27, 2036; together with any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note;
(b) Any and all additional advances made by Lender to protect or preserve the Premises or the security interest created hereby on the Premises, or for taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as hereinafter provided or for performance of any of Borrowers obligations hereunder or for any other purpose provided herein (whether or not the original Borrower remains the owner of the Premises at the time of such advances).
Should the Indebtedness be paid according to the tenor and effect thereof when the same shall become due and payable, and should Borrower perform all covenants herein contained in a timely manner, then this Deed shall be canceled and surrendered.
Borrower hereby further covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
ARTICLE I
1.01 Payment of Indebtedness . Borrower and/or Borrower shall pay the Note according to the tenor thereof and the remainder of the Indebtedness promptly as the same shall become due.
1.02 Taxes, Liens and Other Charges .
(a) Borrower, unless being contested in good faith, shall pay, on or before the due date thereof, all taxes, assessments, levies, license fees, permit fees and all other charges (in each case whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen) of every character whatsoever (including all penalties and interest thereof) now or hereafter levied, assessed, confirmed or imposed on, or in respect of, or which may be a lien upon, the Premises, or any part thereof, or any estate, right or interest therein, or upon the rents, issues, income or profits thereof, and shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such taxes,
assessments and other fees and charges as Lender may require in writing. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall pay in full the above taxes, assessments, levies, fees and charges within sixty (60) days of delinquency.
(b) Borrower, unless being contested in good faith, shall pay, on or before the due date thereof, all taxes, assessments, charges, expenses, costs and fees which may now or hereafter be levied upon, or assessed or charged against, or incurred in connection with, the Note, the other Indebtedness, this Deed or any other instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Indebtedness, and shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, expenses, costs and fees as Lender may require in writing. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall pay in full the above taxes, assessments, levies, fees and charges within sixty (60) days of delinquency.
(c) Borrower shall pay, on or before the due date thereof: all premiums on policies of insurance covering, affecting or relating to the Premises, as required pursuant to Paragraph 1.03. Borrower shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such premiums, rentals and other sums as Lender may require in writing.
(d) In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of deeds to secure debt or security agreements or debts secured thereby or the manner of collecting such taxes so as to adversely affect Lender, Borrower will pay any such tax on or before the due date thereof. If Borrower fails to make such prompt payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Borrower from making such payment or would penalize Lender if Borrower makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the Indebtedness and all interest accrued thereon shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable 90 days from such written notice from Lender.
1.03 Insurance .
Borrower agrees to keep the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire and other casualty with extended coverage and against any other risks or hazards which in the reasonable opinion of Lender should be insured against, and in any case against all risks which persons, engaged in the same business as is carried on at the Premises, customarily insure against, in an amount acceptable to Lender with endorsements for vandalism and malicious mischief. Borrower shall also carry insurance against the risk of rental or business interruption at the Premises, in an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender, not to exceed 12 months. All of such insurance shall be placed with a company or companies and in such form and with such endorsements as may be approved or required by Lender. Loss under all such insurance shall be payable to Lender in accordance with this paragraph, and all such insurance policies shall be endorsed with a standard, non-contributory mortgagees clause in favor of Lender. Borrower shall also carry public liability insurance, in such form, amount and with such companies as Lender may from time to time reasonably require, naming Lender as an additional insured. The
policy or policies evidencing all insurance referred to in this paragraph and receipts for the payments of premiums thereon shall be delivered to and held by Lender. All such insurance policies shall contain a provision requiring at least ten (10) days notice to Lender prior to any cancellation or modification. Borrower shall give Lender satisfactory evidence of renewal of all such policies with premiums paid at least thirty (30) days before expiration. Borrower agrees to pay all premiums on such insurance as they become due, and will not permit any condition to exist on or with respect to the Premises which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance thereon. Lender shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any such insurance, incur any liability for the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurers, or payment of losses, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, thereunder. Effective upon the acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, by reason of any default hereunder, all of Borrowers right, title and interest in and to all such policies and any unearned premiums paid thereon are hereby assigned to Lender, who shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assign the same to any purchaser of the Premises at any judicial foreclosure sale or any sale pursuant to the power of sale created hereby. The requirements of Borrower for insurance under the provisions of this paragraph may be modified or amended in whole or in part by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, and Borrower agrees, upon any expiration of any existing policy or policies of insurance, to provide a replacement policy or polices which shall meet such amended or modified insurance standards. In the event of loss, Borrower shall give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to make proof of loss, to adjust and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lenders actual expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Borrower understands and agrees that the power of attorney hereby granted to Lender is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until Lenders interest hereunder is terminated by the payment and performance of all of Borrowers obligations and indebtedness secured hereby. Borrower further authorizes Lender, (a) to hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the costs of reconstruction or repair of the Premises as provided in Paragraph 1.05(a)(iii) below, or (b) to apply the balance of such proceeds to the payment of the sums secured by this Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement, whether or not then due, in accordance with the terms hereby.
1.04 Monthly Deposits . Upon Default, at the option of Lender and further to secure the payment of the taxes and assessments referred to in Paragraph 1.02 and the premiums on the insurance referred to in Paragraph 1.03, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, on the due date of each installment under the Note, such amounts as, in the reasonable estimation of Lender, shall be necessary to pay such charges as they become due; said deposits to be held by Lender, free of interest, and free of any liens or claims on the part of creditors of Borrower and as part of the security of Lender, and to be used by Lender to pay current taxes and assessments and insurance premiums on the Premises as the same accrue and are payable. Payment from said sums for said purposes shall be made by Lender in a timely fashion for any proper purpose. Said deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds but may be commingled with the general funds of Lender. If said deposits are insufficient to pay the taxes and assessments and insurance premiums in full as the same become payable, Borrower will deposit, upon written request, with Lender such additional sum or sums as may be required in order for Lender to pay such taxes and assessments and insurance premiums in full. Upon any default in the provisions of this Deed or the Note, or any
instrument evidencing, securing or in any way related to the Indebtedness, Lender may, at its option, apply any money in the fund resulting from said deposits to the payment of the Indebtedness in such manner as it may elect.
1.05 Condemnation . (a) Immediately upon its obtaining knowledge of the institution or the threatened institution of any proceeding for the condemnation of the Premises or any part thereof, Borrower shall notify Lender of such fact. Borrower shall then, if requested by Lender, file or defend its rights thereunder and prosecute same with due diligence to its final disposition and shall cause any awards or settlements to be paid over to Lender for disposition pursuant to the terms of this Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement. Borrower may be the nominal party in such proceeding but Lender shall be entitled to participate in and to control same and to be represented therein by counsel of its own choice, and Borrower will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such instruments as may be requested by it from time to time to permit such participation. If the Premises or any part thereof is taken or diminished in value, or if a consent settlement is entered, by or under threat of such proceeding, the award or settlement payable to Borrower by virtue of its interest in the Premises shall be, and by these presents is, assigned, transferred and set over unto Lender to be held by it, in trust, subject to the lien and security interest of this Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement, and disbursed as follows:
(i) If (1) all of the Premises is taken, (2) so much of the Premises is taken, or the Premises is so diminished in value, that the remainder thereof cannot (in Lenders reasonable judgment) continue to be operated profitably for the purpose for which it was being used immediately prior to such taking or diminution, (3) an event of default hereunder shall have occurred, or (4) the Premises is partially taken or diminished in value and (in Lenders reasonable judgment) need not be rebuilt, restored or repaired in any manner, then in any such event the entirety of the sums so paid to Lender shall be applied by it in the order recited in subparagraph 1.05(b) hereinbelow; or
(ii) If (1) only a portion of the Premises is taken and the portion remaining can (in Lenders reasonable judgment), with rebuilding, restoration or repair, be profitably operated for the purpose for which it was being used immediately prior to such taking or diminution, and (2) none of the other facts recited in subparagraph 1.05(a)(i) hereinabove exists, Lender may elect, in its reasonable discretion, to require Borrower to repair, restore or rebuild the Premises to its condition existing immediately prior to such taking or diminution in value to the extent reasonably possible, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1.05(a)(iii).
(iii) In the event Lender elects to require repair, restoration or rebuilding as provided herein, Borrower shall deposit with Lender any funds which may be required for such repair, restoration or rebuilding in excess of the net funds received in respect of the taking or diminution in value or the net insurance proceeds received, which funds shall be deposited with Lender and held and disbursed by it, together with the net funds received in respect of the taking or diminution in value or the net insurance proceeds received, in accordance with usual practices of Lender or other Lenders making construction loans. In the event Lender elects to require or permit the repair, restoration or rebuilding hereunder, within forty-five (45) days after notice to Borrower of such
election Borrower shall deliver to Lender plans and specifications for such rebuilding, restoration or repair reasonably acceptable to Lender, which acceptance shall be evidenced by Lenders written consent thereto, and Borrower shall thereafter commence the rebuilding, restoration or repair and complete same, all in substantial accordance with the plans and specifications and within six (6) months after the date of the damage or destruction. In the event Lender elects to require rebuilding, restoration or repair hereunder and Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of this Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement with respect thereto, Lender may accelerate payment of the indebtedness secured hereby and demand immediate payment of all of such indebtedness, and may apply the net funds received in respect of the taking or diminution in value, or the net insurance proceeds received, to the payment of such indebtedness in the order provided herein.
(b) All net proceeds received by Lender with respect to a taking or a diminution in value of the Premises, and all net insurance proceeds received in the event of an insured casualty, in the event such proceeds are to be applied to the indebtedness secured hereby in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(i) First, to reimburse Lender all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, actually incurred in connection with collection of the said proceeds without regard to statutory presumption;
(ii) Thereafter, the balance, if any, shall be applied to the payment of (a) the Note; (b) any or all other sums secured hereby; and (c) the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, in the order of their priority and if none, Borrower.
1.06 Care of Premises .
(a) Borrower will keep the buildings, parking areas, roads and walkways, recreational facilities, landscaping and all other improvements of any kind now or hereafter erected on the Land or any part thereof in good condition and repair, will not commit or suffer any waste and will not do or, to the extent within its control, suffer to be done anything which would or could increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Premises or any other part thereof or which would or could, to the extent within its control, result in the cancellation of any insurance policy carried with respect to the Premises.
(b) Borrower will not remove, demolish or alter the structural character of any improvement located on the Land without the written consent of Lender.
(c) If the Premises or any part thereof is damaged by fire or other cause, Borrower will give immediate written notice thereof to Lender.
(d) Lender or its representative is hereby authorized to enter upon and inspect the Premises without interfering with operations at any time upon advance verbal notice during normal business hours.
(e) Borrower will promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental authority affecting the Premises or any part thereof in all material respects.
(f) If all or any part of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Borrower will promptly restore the Premises to the equivalent of its original condition; and if a part of the Premises shall be damaged through condemnation, Borrower will promptly restore, repair or alter the remaining portions of the Premises in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be obligated so to restore, repair or alter unless in each instance, Lender agrees to make available to Borrower (pursuant to a procedure satisfactory to Lender) any net insurance or condemnation proceeds actually received by Lender hereunder in connection with such casualty loss or condemnation, to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expense of such restoration, repair or alteration; provided, however, that the insufficiency of any such insurance or condemnation proceeds to defray the entire expense of restoration, repair or alteration shall in no way relieve Borrower of its obligation to restore, repair or alter. In the event all or any portion of the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or by condemnation, Borrower shall promptly deposit with Lender a sum equal to the amount by which the estimated cost of the restoration of the Premises (as determined by Lender in its good faith judgment) exceeds the actual net insurance or condemnation proceeds with respect to such damage or destruction.
1.07 Leases, Contracts, Etc.
(a) As additional collateral and further security for the Indebtedness, Borrower does hereby assign to Lender all of Borrowers right, title, and interest, to the extent assignable, any and all tenant leases, tenant contracts, rental agreements, franchise agreements, management contracts, construction contracts, and other contracts, licenses and permits now or hereafter affecting the Premises, or any part thereof, and Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, as may hereafter be requested by Lender further to evidence and confirm said assignment; provided, however, that acceptance of any such assignment shall not be construed as a consent by Lender to any lease, tenant contract, rental agreement, franchise agreement, management contract, construction contract, or other contract, license or permit, or to impose upon Lender any obligation with respect thereto. Without first obtaining on each occasion the written approval of Lender, Borrower shall not cancel any such tenant lease, tenant contract, rental agreement, franchise agreement, management contract, construction contract, or other contract, license or permit, or to impose upon Lender any obligation with respect thereto. Without first obtaining on each occasion the written approval of Lender, Borrower shall not cancel any such tenant lease, tenant contract, rental agreement, franchise agreement, management contract, construction contract or other contract, license or permit, or modify any of said instruments, or accept, or permit to be made, any prepayment of any installment of rent fees thereunder (except for security deposits and the usual prepayments for room reservations. Borrower shall faithfully keep and perform, or cause to be kept and performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in each of said instruments, now or hereafter existing, on the part of Borrower to be kept and performed and shall at all time do all things necessary to compel performance by each other party to said instruments of all obligations,
covenants and agreements by such other party to be performed thereunder. Lender acknowledges that the Premises are to be utilized as a nursing home facility.
(b) Borrower shall not execute any assignment of the income, rents, issues or profits, or any part thereof, from the Premises unless Lender shall first consent to such assignment and unless such assignment shall expressly provide that it is subordinate to the assignment contained in this Deed and any assignment executed pursuant hereto or concerning the Indebtedness.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Deed, Borrower shall not hereafter enter into any tenant lease, tenant contract, rental agreement, franchise agreement, management contract or other contract, license or permit affecting the Premises, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Lender and except upon the following conditions; (i) each such instrument shall contain a provision that the rights of the parties thereunder are expressly subordinate to all of the rights and title of Lender under this Deed; (ii) any such instrument shall contain a provision whereby the parties thereunder expressly recognize and agree that, notwithstanding such subordination, Lender may sell the Premises in the manner provided in Article II, and thereby, at the option of Lender, sell the same subject to such instrument, and (iii) at or prior to the time of execution of any such instrument, Borrower shall, as a condition to such execution, procure from the other party or parties thereto an agreement in favor of Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, under which such party or parties agree to be bound by the provisions of Article II, regarding the manner in which Lender may foreclosure or exercise the power of sale under this Deed.
1.08 Security Agreement .
Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of the Property which constitutes personal property or fixtures. In addition to its rights hereunder or otherwise, Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of Georgia, or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law.
With respect to the machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, fixtures, building supplies and materials, articles of personal property, chattels, farm products and consumer goods referred to or described in this Deed, or in any way connected with the use and enjoyment of the Premises, this Deed is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement as a part of the Premises, in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of Georgia. Upon request by Lender, at any time and from time to time, a financing statement or statements reciting this Deed to be a security agreement affecting all of such property shall be executed by Borrower and Lender and appropriately filed. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the security agreement contained in this Deed shall be (i) as prescribed herein, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Lenders reasonable election. Borrower and Lender agree that the filing of any such financing statement or statements in the records normally having to do with personal property shall not in any way affect the agreement of Borrower and Lender that, other than accounts, accounts receivable, general intangibles and inventory, everything used in connection with the production of income from the Premises or adapted for use therein or which is described or reflected in this Deed, is, and
at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings, both legal or equitable, shall be, regarded as part of the real estate conveyed hereby regardless of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in an exhibit to this Deed, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement or statements so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement or statements of the rights in and to (i) the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (ii) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (iii) Borrowers interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Premises, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall not in any way alter any of the rights of Lender as determined by this Deed or affect the priority of Lenders security interest granted hereby or by any other recorded document, it being understood and agreed that such mention in such financing statement or statements is solely for the protection of Lender in the event any court shall at any time hold with respect to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence, that notice of Lenders priority of interest, to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records.
1.09 Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property . At any time, and from time to time, upon request by Lender, Borrower will make, execute and deliver, or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to Lender and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices or places as shall be deemed desirable by Lender, any and all such other and further deeds to secure debt, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instrument of further assurance, certificates and other documents as may, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete or perfect, or to continue and preserve (i) the obligation of Borrower under the Note and under this Deed and (ii) the security interest created by this Deed as a first and prior security interest upon and security title in and to all of the Premises, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower. Upon any failure by Borrower so to do, Lender may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or re-file any and all such deeds to secure debt, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower so to do. The security title of this Deed and the security interest created hereby will automatically attach, without further act, to all after-acquired property attached to and/or used in the operation of the Premises or any part thereof.
1.10 Expenses . Borrower will pay or reimburse Lender, upon demand therefore, for all reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, costs and expenses actually incurred without regard to statutory presumption, by Lender in any suit, action, legal proceeding or dispute of any kind in which Lender is made a party or appears as party plaintiff or defendant, affecting the Indebtedness, this Deed or the interest created herein, or the Premises, including, but not limited to, the exercise of the power of sale contained in this Deed, any condemnation action involving the Premises or any action to protect the security hereof, and any such amounts paid by Lender shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Deed.
1.11 Estoppel Affidavit . Borrower, upon twenty (20) days prior written notice, shall furnish Lender a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the unpaid principal of, and interest on, the Indebtedness, stating whether or not any offsets or defenses exist against the
Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, and, if such offsets or defenses exist, stating in detail the specific acts relating to each such offset or defense.
1.12 Subrogation . To the full extent of the Indebtedness, Lender is hereby subrogated to the liens, claims and demands, and to the rights of the owners and holders of each and every lien, claim, demand and other encumbrance on the Premises which is paid or satisfied, in whole or in part, out of the proceeds of the Indebtedness, and the respective liens, claims, demands and other encumbrances shall be, and each of them is hereby, preserved and shall pass to and be held by Lender as additional collateral and further security for the Indebtedness, to the same extent they would have been preserved and would have been passed to and held by Lender had they been duly and legally assigned, transferred, set over and delivered unto Lender by assignment, notwithstanding the fact that any instrument providing public notice of the same may be satisfied and canceled of record.
1.13 Books, Records, Accounts and Annual Reports . Borrower shall keep and maintain or shall cause to be kept and maintained, at Borrowers cost and expense and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Premises and in connection with any services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation of the Premises. Lender, by Lenders agents, accountants and attorneys, shall have the right upon prior verbal notice to Borrower from time to time to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or such other person or entity maintaining such books, records and accounts, to make copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire and to discuss Borrowers affairs, finances and accounts with Borrower and with the officers and principals of Borrower, at such reasonable times during normal business hours as may be requested by Lender. Borrower will furnish to Lender annually within ninety (90) days after the end of Borrowers fiscal year a compiled financial statement containing a profit and loss statement and all supporting schedules covering the operation of the Property certified by an officer of Borrower and a certified public accountant acceptable to Lender to be true and accurate in all material respects, in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards consistently applied, and, at any time, Lender shall have the right to reasonably request complied statements certified by Borrowers principal financial or accounting officer, covering such financial matters as Lender may reasonably request from Borrower, to be furnished to Lender within forty-five (45) days after such request by Lender. The compiled statements shall include, without limitation, monthly operating statements with respect to the Premises.
1.14 Limit of Validity . If from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Deed or the note, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto , the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Deed or under the Note that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity. The provisions of this Paragraph 1.14 shall control every other provision of this Deed and of the Note.
1.15 Use and Management of Premises . Borrower shall at all times operate the Premises as described in Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. Borrower shall not be permitted to alter or change the use of the Premises or to abandon the Premises without the prior written consent of Lender.
1.16 Conveyance of Premises . Borrower hereby acknowledges to Lender that (i) the identity and expertise of Borrower were and continue to be material circumstances upon which Lender has relied in connection with, and which constitute valuable consideration to Lender for, the extending to Borrower of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and (ii) any change in such identity or expertise could materially impair or jeopardize the security for the payment of the Note granted to Lender by this Deed. Borrower therefore covenants and agrees with Lender, as part of the consideration for the extending to Borrower of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, that Borrower shall not encumber, pledge, convey, transfer or assign any or all of its interest in the Premises (or any interest in or all of the interest in Borrower if Borrower is a corporation, partnership or some other entity) without the prior written consent of Lender. If Borrower does so encumber, pledge, convey, transfer or assign any or all of its interest in the Premises (or in Borrower) without the prior written consent of Lender, then Lender may, at Lenders option, declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable.
1.17 Acquisition of Collateral . Borrower shall not acquire any portion of the personal property covered by this Deed subject to any security interest, conditional sales contract, title retention arrangement or other charge or lien taking precedence over the security title and lien of this Deed.
1.18 Junior Financing .

If a Default shall have occurred, then the entire Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, time being of the essence of this Deed; and no omission on the part of Lender to exercise such option when entitled to do so shall be construed as a waiver of such right.
2.03 Right to Enter and Take Possession .
(a) If a Default shall have occurred, Borrower, upon demand of Lender, shall forthwith surrender to Lender the actual possession of the Premises and if, and to the extent, permitted by law, Lender itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all of the Premises without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefore, and may exclude Borrower and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and may have joint access with Borrower to the books, papers and accounts of Borrower.

specifically covenants and agrees that Borrower will not oppose, contest or otherwise hinder or delay Lender in any action or proceeding by Lender to obtain such judgment or decree. Borrower will pay to Lender upon demand, all reasonable expenses actually incurred of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Lender, its attorneys and agents, and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, become part of the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Deed.

(d) In the event that all such interest, deposits and principal installments and other sums due under any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Deed shall be paid and all Defaults shall be cured, and as a result thereof Lender surrenders possession of the Premises to Borrower, the same right of taking possession shall continue to exist if any subsequent Default shall occur.
2.04 Performance by Lender . If Borrower shall Default in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of this Deed, Lender may, at its option, pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, repaid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the default rate provided in the Note. Lender shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or any part thereof for the purpose of performing
or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Borrower or any person in possession holding under Borrower.
2.05 Receiver . If a Default shall have occurred, Lender, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right, without notice and without regard to the adequacy or value of any security for the Indebtedness or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Premises and to collect and apply the incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Georgia. Borrower will pay to Lender upon demand all reasonable expenses, including receivers fees, attorneys fees, costs and agents compensation actually incurred, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 2.05, and any such amounts paid by Lender shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Deed.
2.06 Enforcement .
(a) If a Default shall have occurred, Lender, at its option, may sell the Premises or any part of the Premises at one or more public sale or sales before the door of the courthouse of the county in which the Land or any part of the Land is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Indebtedness, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a newspaper in which Sheriffs sales are advertised in said county. At any such public sale, Lender may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Premises or any part of the Premises in fee simple, with full warranties of title and to this end, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Borrower of all right, title and equity that Borrower may have in and to the Premises and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Borrower. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for collection of the Indebtedness and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full payment of all of the Indebtedness. In the event of any sale under this Deed by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Premises may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its sole discretion may elect, and if Lender so elects, Lender may sell the personal property covered by this Deed at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Georgia, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Premises are sold or the Indebtedness is paid in full. If the Indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security instruments, Lender may at its option exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Lender may determine.
(b) If a Default shall have occurred, Lender may, in addition to and not in abrogation of the rights covered under Subparagraph 2.06(a), either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce payment of the Note or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Deed or any other right and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Lender in its sole discretion shall elect.
2.07 Purchase by Lender . Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Premises under the power herein granted, Lender may bid for and purchase the Premises and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price.
2.08 Application of Proceeds of Sale . In the event of a foreclosure or sale of all or any portion of the Premises under the power herein granted, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, in whatever order Lender in its sole discretion may decide, to the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges including utility charges advanced by Lender, to payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Indebtedness, or to the accrued interest on all of the foregoing; and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, or to the person or entity lawfully entitled thereto.
2.09 Borrower as Tenant Holding Over . In the event of any such foreclosure sale or sales under the power herein granted, Borrower shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.
2.10 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Etc. Borrower agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of a Default on the part of Borrower hereunder, neither Borrower nor anyone claiming through or under Borrower will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed, or the absolute sale of the Premises, or the delivery of possession thereof immediately after such sale to the purchaser at such sale, and Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets subject to the security interest of this Deed marshalled upon any foreclosure or sale under the power herein granted.
2.11 Waiver of Redemption, Notice, Marshalling, Etc. Borrower hereby waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Borrower by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Premises, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption of extension of term for payment (b) unless specifically required herein, all notices of Borrower default or of Lenders election to exercise, or Lenders actual exercise, of any option or remedy under the Note, the Guaranty or the Security Documents, and (c) any right to have the Premises marshalled.
2.12 Leases . Lender, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Deed subject to the rights of any tenants of the Premises, and the failure to make any such tenants parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Borrower, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Lender to collect the Indebtedness.
2.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings . In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Deed by foreclosure, entry or otherwise or in the event Lender commences advertising of the intended exercise of the sale under power provided hereunder, and such proceeding or advertisement shall have been withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Lender, then in every such case (i) Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights, (ii) all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, (iii) each and every Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall and shall be deemed to be a continuing Default and (iv) neither this Deed, nor the Note, nor the Indebtedness, nor any other instrument concerned therewith, shall be or shall be deemed to have been reinstated or otherwise affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment; and Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the above.
2.14 Remedies Cumulative . No right, power or remedy conferred upon reserved to Lender by this Deed is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power and remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.
2.15 Waiver .
(a) No delay or omission by Lender or by any holder of the Note to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any breach or Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Default, or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed to Lender may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Lender to or of any breach or Default by Borrower in the performance of the obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Default in the performance of the same or any other obligations by Borrower hereunder. Failure on the part of Lender to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare a Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder.
(b) No act or omission by Lender shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the original liability under the Note, this Deed or any other obligation of Borrower or any subsequent purchaser of the Premises or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor, or preclude Lender from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Default then made or of any subsequent Default, or alter the security title, security interest or lien of this Deed except as expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may:

In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all of any part of the Premises, Lender, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Premises or the Indebtedness, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing and/or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.
2.16 Suits to Protect the Premises . Lender shall have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient (i) to prevent any impairment of the Premises by any acts which may be unlawful or constitute a Default under this Deed, (ii) to preserve or protect its interest in the Premises and in the incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues arising therefrom, and (iii) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Lender.
2.17 Proofs of Claim . In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower, its creditors or its property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Indebtedness at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount of the Indebtedness after such date.

This Deed is intended to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing the title to the Premises to Lender and is made under those provisions of the existing laws of the State of Georgia relating to deeds to secure debt, and not as a mortgage, and is given to secure the payment of the following described indebtedness (hereinafter referred to collectively as the Indebtedness):
(a) The debt evidenced by that certain promissory note (hereinafter referred to as the Note) dated of even date herein, made by Borrower to the order of Lender in the principal face amount of Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($800,000.00), with the final payment being due on or before July 27, 2036; together with any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note;

Should the Indebtedness be paid according to the tenor and effect thereof when the same shall become due and payable, and should Borrower perform all covenants herein contained in a timely manner, then this Deed shall be canceled and surrendered.
Borrower hereby further covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
ARTICLE I
1.01 Payment of Indebtedness . Borrower and/or Borrower shall pay the Note according to the tenor thereof and the remainder of the Indebtedness promptly as the same shall become due.
1.02 Taxes, Liens and Other Charges .
(a) Borrower, unless being contested in good faith, shall pay, on or before the due date thereof, all taxes, assessments, levies, license fees, permit fees and all other charges (in each case whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen) of every character whatsoever (including all penalties and interest thereof) now or hereafter levied, assessed, confirmed or imposed on, or in respect of, or which may be a lien upon, the Premises, or any part thereof, or any estate, right or interest therein, or upon the rents, issues, income or profits thereof, and shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such taxes,
assessments and other fees and charges as Lender may require in writing. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall pay in full the above taxes, assessments, levies, fees and charges within sixty (60) days of delinquency.
(b) Borrower, unless being contested in good faith, shall pay, on or before the due date thereof, all taxes, assessments, charges, expenses, costs and fees which may now or hereafter be levied upon, or assessed or charged against, or incurred in connection with, the Note, the other Indebtedness, this Deed or any other instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Indebtedness, and shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, expenses, costs and fees as Lender may require in writing. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall pay in full the above taxes, assessments, levies, fees and charges within sixty (60) days of delinquency.
(c) Borrower shall pay, on or before the due date thereof: all premiums on policies of insurance covering, affecting or relating to the Premises, as required pursuant to Paragraph 1.03. Borrower shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such premiums, rentals and other sums as Lender may require in writing.
(d) In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of deeds to secure debt or security agreements or debts secured thereby or the manner of collecting such taxes so as to adversely affect Lender, Borrower will pay any such tax on or before the due date thereof. If Borrower fails to make such prompt payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Borrower from making such payment or would penalize Lender if Borrower makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the Indebtedness and all interest accrued thereon shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable 90 days from such written notice from Lender.
1.03 Insurance .
Borrower agrees to keep the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire and other casualty with extended coverage and against any other risks or hazards which in the reasonable opinion of Lender should be insured against, and in any case against all risks which persons, engaged in the same business as is carried on at the Premises, customarily insure against, in an amount acceptable to Lender with endorsements for vandalism and malicious mischief. Borrower shall also carry insurance against the risk of rental or business interruption at the Premises, in an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender, not to exceed 12 months. All of such insurance shall be placed with a company or companies and in such form and with such endorsements as may be approved or required by Lender. Loss under all such insurance shall be payable to Lender in accordance with this paragraph, and all such insurance policies shall be endorsed with a standard, non-contributory mortgagees clause in favor of Lender. Borrower shall also carry public liability insurance, in such form, amount and with such companies as Lender may from time to time reasonably require, naming Lender as an additional insured. The
policy or policies evidencing all insurance referred to in this paragraph and receipts for the payments of premiums thereon shall be delivered to and held by Lender. All such insurance policies shall contain a provision requiring at least ten (10) days notice to Lender prior to any cancellation or modification. Borrower shall give Lender satisfactory evidence of renewal of all such policies with premiums paid at least thirty (30) days before expiration. Borrower agrees to pay all premiums on such insurance as they become due, and will not permit any condition to exist on or with respect to the Premises which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance thereon. Lender shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any such insurance, incur any liability for the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurers, or payment of losses, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, thereunder. Effective upon the acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, by reason of any default hereunder, all of Borrowers right, title and interest in and to all such policies and any unearned premiums paid thereon are hereby assigned to Lender, who shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assign the same to any purchaser of the Premises at any judicial foreclosure sale or any sale pursuant to the power of sale created hereby. The requirements of Borrower for insurance under the provisions of this paragraph may be modified or amended in whole or in part by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, and Borrower agrees, upon any expiration of any existing policy or policies of insurance, to provide a replacement policy or polices which shall meet such amended or modified insurance standards. In the event of loss, Borrower shall give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to make proof of loss, to adjust and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lenders actual expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Borrower understands and agrees that the power of attorney hereby granted to Lender is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until Lenders interest hereunder is terminated by the payment and performance of all of Borrowers obligations and indebtedness secured hereby. Borrower further authorizes Lender, (a) to hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the costs of reconstruction or repair of the Premises as provided in Paragraph 1.05(a)(iii) below, or (b) to apply the balance of such proceeds to the payment of the sums secured by this Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement, whether or not then due, in accordance with the terms hereby.
1.04 Monthly Deposits . Upon Default, at the option of Lender and further to secure the payment of the taxes and assessments referred to in Paragraph 1.02 and the premiums on the insurance referred to in Paragraph 1.03, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, on the due date of each installment under the Note, such amounts as, in the reasonable estimation of Lender, shall be necessary to pay such charges as they become due; said deposits to be held by Lender, free of interest, and free of any liens or claims on the part of creditors of Borrower and as part of the security of Lender, and to be used by Lender to pay current taxes and assessments and insurance premiums on the Premises as the same accrue and are payable. Payment from said sums for said purposes shall be made by Lender in a timely fashion for any proper purpose. Said deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds but may be commingled with the general funds of Lender. If said deposits are insufficient to pay the taxes and assessments and insurance premiums in full as the same become payable, Borrower will deposit, upon written request, with Lender such additional sum or sums as may be required in order for Lender to pay such taxes and assessments and insurance premiums in full. Upon any default in the provisions of this Deed or the Note, or any
instrument evidencing, securing or in any way related to the Indebtedness, Lender may, at its option, apply any money in the fund resulting from said deposits to the payment of the Indebtedness in such manner as it may elect.
1.05 Condemnation . (a) Immediately upon its obtaining knowledge of the institution or the threatened institution of any proceeding for the condemnation of the Premises or any part thereof, Borrower shall notify Lender of such fact. Borrower shall then, if requested by Lender, file or defend its rights thereunder and prosecute same with due diligence to its final disposition and shall cause any awards or settlements to be paid over to Lender for disposition pursuant to the terms of this Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement. Borrower may be the nominal party in such proceeding but Lender shall be entitled to participate in and to control same and to be represented therein by counsel of its own choice, and Borrower will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such instruments as may be requested by it from time to time to permit such participation. If the Premises or any part thereof is taken or diminished in value, or if a consent settlement is entered, by or under threat of such proceeding, the award or settlement payable to Borrower by virtue of its interest in the Premises shall be, and by these presents is, assigned, transferred and set over unto Lender to be held by it, in trust, subject to the lien and security interest of this Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement, and disbursed as follows:
(i) If (1) all of the Premises is taken, (2) so much of the Premises is taken, or the Premises is so diminished in value, that the remainder thereof cannot (in Lenders reasonable judgment) continue to be operated profitably for the purpose for which it was being used immediately prior to such taking or diminution, (3) an event of default hereunder shall have occurred, or (4) the Premises is partially taken or diminished in value and (in Lenders reasonable judgment) need not be rebuilt, restored or repaired in any manner, then in any such event the entirety of the sums so paid to Lender shall be applied by it in the order recited in subparagraph 1.05(b) hereinbelow; or
(ii) If (1) only a portion of the Premises is taken and the portion remaining can (in Lenders reasonable judgment), with rebuilding, restoration or repair, be profitably operated for the purpose for which it was being used immediately prior to such taking or diminution, and (2) none of the other facts recited in subparagraph 1.05(a)(i) hereinabove exists, Lender may elect, in its reasonable discretion, to require Borrower to repair, restore or rebuild the Premises to its condition existing immediately prior to such taking or diminution in value to the extent reasonably possible, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1.05(a)(iii).
(iii) In the event Lender elects to require repair, restoration or rebuilding as provided herein, Borrower shall deposit with Lender any funds which may be required for such repair, restoration or rebuilding in excess of the net funds received in respect of the taking or diminution in value or the net insurance proceeds received, which funds shall be deposited with Lender and held and disbursed by it, together with the net funds received in respect of the taking or diminution in value or the net insurance proceeds received, in accordance with usual practices of Lender or other Lenders making construction loans. In the event Lender elects to require or permit the repair, restoration or rebuilding hereunder, within forty-five (45) days after notice to Borrower of such
election Borrower shall deliver to Lender plans and specifications for such rebuilding, restoration or repair reasonably acceptable to Lender, which acceptance shall be evidenced by Lenders written consent thereto, and Borrower shall thereafter commence the rebuilding, restoration or repair and complete same, all in substantial accordance with the plans and specifications and within six (6) months after the date of the damage or destruction. In the event Lender elects to require rebuilding, restoration or repair hereunder and Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of this Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement with respect thereto, Lender may accelerate payment of the indebtedness secured hereby and demand immediate payment of all of such indebtedness, and may apply the net funds received in respect of the taking or diminution in value, or the net insurance proceeds received, to the payment of such indebtedness in the order provided herein.
(b) All net proceeds received by Lender with respect to a taking or a diminution in value of the Premises, and all net insurance proceeds received in the event of an insured casualty, in the event such proceeds are to be applied to the indebtedness secured hereby in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(i) First, to reimburse Lender all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, actually incurred in connection with collection of the said proceeds without regard to statutory presumption;
(ii) Thereafter, the balance, if any, shall be applied to the payment of (a) the Note; (b) any or all other sums secured hereby; and (c) the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, in the order of their priority and if none, Borrower.
1.06 Care of Premises .
(a) Borrower will keep the buildings, parking areas, roads and walkways, recreational facilities, landscaping and all other improvements of any kind now or hereafter erected on the Land or any part thereof in good condition and repair, will not commit or suffer any waste and will not do or, to the extent within its control, suffer to be done anything which would or could increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Premises or any other part thereof or which would or could, to the extent within its control, result in the cancellation of any insurance policy carried with respect to the Premises.
(b) Borrower will not remove, demolish or alter the structural character of any improvement located on the Land without the written consent of Lender.
(c) If the Premises or any part thereof is damaged by fire or other cause, Borrower will give immediate written notice thereof to Lender.
(d) Lender or its representative is hereby authorized to enter upon and inspect the Premises without interfering with operations at any time upon advance verbal notice during normal business hours.
(e) Borrower will promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental authority affecting the Premises or any part thereof in all material respects.
(f) If all or any part of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Borrower will promptly restore the Premises to the equivalent of its original condition; and if a part of the Premises shall be damaged through condemnation, Borrower will promptly restore, repair or alter the remaining portions of the Premises in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be obligated so to restore, repair or alter unless in each instance, Lender agrees to make available to Borrower (pursuant to a procedure satisfactory to Lender) any net insurance or condemnation proceeds actually received by Lender hereunder in connection with such casualty loss or condemnation, to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expense of such restoration, repair or alteration; provided, however, that the insufficiency of any such insurance or condemnation proceeds to defray the entire expense of restoration, repair or alteration shall in no way relieve Borrower of its obligation to restore, repair or alter. In the event all or any portion of the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or by condemnation, Borrower shall promptly deposit with Lender a sum equal to the amount by which the estimated cost of the restoration of the Premises (as determined by Lender in its good faith judgment) exceeds the actual net insurance or condemnation proceeds with respect to such damage or destruction.
1.07 Leases, Contracts, Etc.
(a) As additional collateral and further security for the Indebtedness, Borrower does hereby assign to Lender all of Borrowers right, title, and interest, to the extent assignable, any and all tenant leases, tenant contracts, rental agreements, franchise agreements, management contracts, construction contracts, and other contracts, licenses and permits now or hereafter affecting the Premises, or any part thereof, and Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, as may hereafter be requested by Lender further to evidence and confirm said assignment; provided, however, that acceptance of any such assignment shall not be construed as a consent by Lender to any lease, tenant contract, rental agreement, franchise agreement, management contract, construction contract, or other contract, license or permit, or to impose upon Lender any obligation with respect thereto. Without first obtaining on each occasion the written approval of Lender, Borrower shall not cancel any such tenant lease, tenant contract, rental agreement, franchise agreement, management contract, construction contract, or other contract, license or permit, or to impose upon Lender any obligation with respect thereto. Without first obtaining on each occasion the written approval of Lender, Borrower shall not cancel any such tenant lease, tenant contract, rental agreement, franchise agreement, management contract, construction contract or other contract, license or permit, or modify any of said instruments, or accept, or permit to be made, any prepayment of any installment of rent fees thereunder (except for security deposits and the usual prepayments for room reservations. Borrower shall faithfully keep and perform, or cause to be kept and performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in each of said instruments, now or hereafter existing, on the part of Borrower to be kept and performed and shall at all time do all things necessary to compel performance by each other party to said instruments of all obligations,
covenants and agreements by such other party to be performed thereunder. Lender acknowledges that the Premises are to be utilized as a nursing home facility.
(b) Borrower shall not execute any assignment of the income, rents, issues or profits, or any part thereof, from the Premises unless Lender shall first consent to such assignment and unless such assignment shall expressly provide that it is subordinate to the assignment contained in this Deed and any assignment executed pursuant hereto or concerning the Indebtedness.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Deed, Borrower shall not hereafter enter into any tenant lease, tenant contract, rental agreement, franchise agreement, management contract or other contract, license or permit affecting the Premises, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Lender and except upon the following conditions; (i) each such instrument shall contain a provision that the rights of the parties thereunder are expressly subordinate to all of the rights and title of Lender under this Deed; (ii) any such instrument shall contain a provision whereby the parties thereunder expressly recognize and agree that, notwithstanding such subordination, Lender may sell the Premises in the manner provided in Article II, and thereby, at the option of Lender, sell the same subject to such instrument, and (iii) at or prior to the time of execution of any such instrument, Borrower shall, as a condition to such execution, procure from the other party or parties thereto an agreement in favor of Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, under which such party or parties agree to be bound by the provisions of Article II, regarding the manner in which Lender may foreclosure or exercise the power of sale under this Deed.
1.08 Security Agreement .
Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of the Property which constitutes personal property or fixtures. In addition to its rights hereunder or otherwise, Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of Georgia, or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law.
With respect to the machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, fixtures, building supplies and materials, articles of personal property, chattels, farm products and consumer goods referred to or described in this Deed, or in any way connected with the use and enjoyment of the Premises, this Deed is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement as a part of the Premises, in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of Georgia. Upon request by Lender, at any time and from time to time, a financing statement or statements reciting this Deed to be a security agreement affecting all of such property shall be executed by Borrower and Lender and appropriately filed. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the security agreement contained in this Deed shall be (i) as prescribed herein, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Lenders reasonable election. Borrower and Lender agree that the filing of any such financing statement or statements in the records normally having to do with personal property shall not in any way affect the agreement of Borrower and Lender that, other than accounts, accounts receivable, general intangibles and inventory, everything used in connection with the production of income from the Premises or adapted for use therein or which is described or reflected in this Deed, is, and
at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings, both legal or equitable, shall be, regarded as part of the real estate conveyed hereby regardless of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in an exhibit to this Deed, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement or statements so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement or statements of the rights in and to (i) the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (ii) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (iii) Borrowers interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Premises, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall not in any way alter any of the rights of Lender as determined by this Deed or affect the priority of Lenders security interest granted hereby or by any other recorded document, it being understood and agreed that such mention in such financing statement or statements is solely for the protection of Lender in the event any court shall at any time hold with respect to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence, that notice of Lenders priority of interest, to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records.
1.09 Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property .

Upon any failure by Borrower so to do, Lender may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile any and all such deeds to secure debt, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower so to do. The security title of this Deed and the security interest created hereby will automatically attach, without further act, to all after-acquired property attached to and/or used in the operation of the Premises or any part thereof.
1.10 Expenses . Borrower will pay or reimburse Lender, upon demand therefore, for all reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, costs and expenses actually incurred without regard to statutory presumption, by Lender in any suit, action, legal proceeding or dispute of any kind in which Lender is made a party or appears as party plaintiff or defendant, affecting the Indebtedness, this Deed or the interest created herein, or the Premises, including, but not limited to, the exercise of the power of sale contained in this Deed, any condemnation action involving the Premises or any action to protect the security hereof, and any such amounts paid by Lender shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Deed.
1.11 Estoppel Affidavit . Borrower, upon twenty (20) days prior written notice, shall furnish Lender a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the unpaid principal of, and
interest on, the Indebtedness, stating whether or not any offsets or defenses exist against the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, and, if such offsets or defenses exist, stating in detail the specific acts relating to each such offset or defense.
1.12 Subrogation . To the full extent of the Indebtedness, Lender is hereby subrogated to the liens, claims and demands, and to the rights of the owners and holders of each and every lien, claim, demand and other encumbrance on the Premises which is paid or satisfied, in whole or in part, out of the proceeds of the Indebtedness, and the respective liens, claims, demands and other encumbrances shall be, and each of them is hereby, preserved and shall pass to and be held by Lender as additional collateral and further security for the Indebtedness, to the same extent they would have been preserved and would have been passed to and held by Lender had they been duly and legally assigned, transferred, set over and delivered unto Lender by assignment, notwithstanding the fact that any instrument providing public notice of the same may be satisfied and canceled of record.
1.13 Books, Records, Accounts and Annual Reports . Borrower shall keep and maintain or shall cause to be kept and maintained, at Borrowers cost and expense and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Premises and in connection with any services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation of the Premises.

Borrower will furnish to Lender annually within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of Borrowers fiscal year a compiled financial statement containing a profit and loss statement and all supporting schedules covering the operation of the Property certified by an officer of Borrower and a certified public accountant acceptable to Lender to be true and accurate in all material respects, in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards consistently applied, and, at any time, Lender shall have the right to reasonably request complied statements certified by Borrowers principal financial or accounting officer, covering such financial matters as Lender may reasonably request from Borrower, to be furnished to Lender within forty-five (45) days after such request by Lender.

1.14 Limit of Validity . If from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Deed or the note, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto , the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Deed or under the Note that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity.

2.02 Acceleration of Maturity . If a Default shall have occurred, then the entire Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, time being of the essence of this Deed; and no omission on the part of Lender to exercise such option when entitled to do so shall be construed as a waiver of such right.
2.03 Right to Enter and Take Possession .
(a) If a Default shall have occurred, Borrower, upon demand of Lender, shall forthwith surrender to Lender the actual possession of the Premises and if, and to the extent, permitted by law, Lender itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all of the Premises without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefore, and may exclude Borrower and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and may have joint access with Borrower to the books, papers and accounts of Borrower.
(b) If Borrower shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Premises or any part thereof after such demand by Lender, Lender may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Lender the right to immediate possession of the Premises to Lender, and Borrower hereby

(d) In the event that all such interest, deposits and principal installments and other sums due under any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Deed shall be paid and all Defaults shall be cured, and as a result thereof Lender surrenders possession of the Premises to Borrower, the same right of taking possession shall continue to exist if any subsequent Default shall occur.
2.04 Performance by Lender . If Borrower shall Default in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of this Deed, Lender may, at its option, pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, repaid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the default rate provided in the Note. Lender shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or any part thereof for the purpose of performing
or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Borrower or any person in possession holding under Borrower.
2.05 Receiver . If a Default shall have occurred, Lender, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right, without notice and without regard to the adequacy or value of any security for the Indebtedness or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Premises and to collect and apply the incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Georgia. Borrower will pay to Lender upon demand all reasonable expenses, including receivers fees, attorneys fees, costs and agents compensation actually incurred, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 2.05, and any such amounts paid by Lender shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Deed.
2.06 Enforcement .
(a) If a Default shall have occurred, Lender, at its option, may sell the Premises or any part of the Premises at one or more public sale or sales before the door of the courthouse of the county in which the Land or any part of the Land is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Indebtedness, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a newspaper in which Sheriffs sales are advertised in said county. At any such public sale, Lender may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Premises or any part of the Premises in fee simple, with full warranties of title and to this end, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Borrower of all right, title and equity that Borrower may have in and to the Premises and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Borrower. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for collection of the Indebtedness and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full payment of all of the Indebtedness. In the event of any sale under this Deed by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Premises may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its sole discretion may elect, and if Lender so elects, Lender may sell the personal property covered by this Deed at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Georgia, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Premises are sold or the Indebtedness is paid in full. If the Indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security instruments, Lender may at its option exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Lender may determine.
(b) If a Default shall have occurred, Lender may, in addition to and not in abrogation of the rights covered under Subparagraph 2.06(a), either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce payment of the Note or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Deed or any other right and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Lender in its sole discretion shall elect.
2.07 Purchase by Lender . Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Premises under the power herein granted, Lender may bid for and purchase the Premises and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price.
2.08 Application of Proceeds of Sale . In the event of a foreclosure or sale of all or any portion of the Premises under the power herein granted, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, in whatever order Lender in its sole discretion may decide, to the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges including utility charges advanced by Lender, to payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Indebtedness, or to the accrued interest on all of the foregoing; and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, or to the person or entity lawfully entitled thereto.
2.09 Borrower as Tenant Holding Over . In the event of any such foreclosure sale or sales under the power herein granted, Borrower shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.
2.10 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Etc. Borrower agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of a Default on the part of Borrower hereunder, neither Borrower nor anyone claiming through or under Borrower will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed, or the absolute sale of the Premises, or the delivery of possession thereof immediately after such sale to the purchaser at such sale, and Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets subject to the security interest of this Deed marshalled upon any foreclosure or sale under the power herein granted.
2.11 Waiver of Redemption, Notice, Marshalling, Etc. Borrower hereby waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Borrower by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Premises, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption of extension of term for payment (b) unless specifically required herein, all notices of Borrower default or of Lenders election to exercise, or Lenders actual exercise, of any option or remedy under the Note, the Guaranty or the Security Documents, and (c) any right to have the Premises marshalled.
2.12 Leases . Lender, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Deed subject to the rights of any tenants of the Premises, and the failure to make any such tenants parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Borrower, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Lender to collect the Indebtedness.
2.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings . In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Deed by foreclosure, entry or otherwise or in the event Lender commences advertising of the intended exercise of the sale under power provided hereunder, and such proceeding or advertisement shall have been withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Lender, then in every such case (i) Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights, (ii) all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, (iii) each and every Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall and shall be deemed to be a continuing Default and (iv) neither this Deed, nor the Note, nor the Indebtedness, nor any other instrument concerned therewith, shall be or shall be deemed to have been reinstated or otherwise affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment; and Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the above.
2.14 Remedies Cumulative . No right, power or remedy conferred upon reserved to Lender by this Deed is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power and remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.
2.15 Waiver .
(a) No delay or omission by Lender or by any holder of the Note to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any breach or Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Default, or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed to Lender may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Lender to or of any breach or Default by Borrower in the performance of the obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Default in the performance of the same or any other obligations by Borrower hereunder. Failure on the part of Lender to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare a Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder.
(b) No act or omission by Lender shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the original liability under the Note, this Deed or any other obligation of Borrower or any subsequent purchaser of the Premises or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor, or preclude Lender from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Default then made or of any subsequent Default, or alter the security title, security interest or lien of this Deed except as expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may:

In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all of any part of the Premises, Lender, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Premises or the Indebtedness, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing and/or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.
2.16 Suits to Protect the Premises . Lender shall have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient (i) to prevent any impairment of the Premises by any acts which may be unlawful or constitute a Default under this Deed, (ii) to preserve or protect its interest in the Premises and in the incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues arising therefrom, and (iii) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Lender.
2.17 Proofs of Claim . In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower, its creditors or its property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Indebtedness at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount of the Indebtedness after such date.

Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in the collateral described in Schedule 1 to this Agreement and made a part hereof and the proceeds of such collateral (hereinafter collectively called the Collateral).
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Debtor. Debtor expressly represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) The address appearing with Debtors signature below is the address of Debtors chief executive office or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtors residence. If the Collateral is not located at Debtors address appearing below, it will be located at: 606 Simmons St., Dublin, Laurens County, Georgia 30121 or wherever located.
(b) If Debtor does not keep the records concerning the Collateral and concerning general intangibles, mobile goods and contract rights at the address appearing below, these records will be located at: 606 Simmons St., Dublin, Laurens County, Georgia 30121 or wherever located.
(c) Debtor will give Secured Party sixty (60) days prior written notice of any change in (i) Debtors chief executive office (or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtors residence), the location of the Collateral or the location of the records described above, or (ii) the ownership of Debtors business, (iii) the principals responsible for the management of Debtors business, (iv) Debtors corporate structure or identity, or (v) Debtors name or trade name, or prior to commencing to use an assumed name not set forth in this Agreement. Lender acknowledges that Erin Nursing, LLC has registered the trade name Southland Care Center and is operating the business under such name.
(d) If any of the Collateral is to be or has been attached to real estate, the legal description of the real estate is attached to this Agreement as Schedule 2 and made a part hereof.
(e) If Debtor does not have a record interest in the real estate described above, the record owner is indicated on the attached Schedule 2.
(f) Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Debtor will not move, sell, lease, permit any encumbrance on or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, other than its inventory in the ordinary course of its business. Debtor represents and warrants that Debtor is the sole owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all liens, charges, interests, and encumbrances, other than in favor of Secured Party, that no other person or other entity has any interest in the Collateral whatsoever, and that Debtor will defend same against all adverse claims and demands.
(g) Debtor will keep the Collateral insured by such companies, in such amounts and against such risks as shall be acceptable to Secured Party, with loss payable and additional insured clauses in favor of Secured Party as are satisfactory to Secured Party. Debtor will deposit such insurance policies with Secured Party. Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party and grants to Secured Party a security interest in any return of unearned premium due upon cancellation of any such insurance and directs the insurer thereunder to pay to Secured Party all amounts so due. All amounts received by Secured
Party in payment of insurance losses or return of unearned premium may, at Secured Partys option, be applied to the indebtedness by Secured Party, or all or any part thereof may be used for the purpose of repairing, replacing or restoring the Collateral. If Debtor fails to maintain satisfactory insurance, Secured Party shall have the option, but not the obligation, to obtain such insurance in such amounts as Secured Party deems necessary, and Debtor agrees to repay, with interest at the highest rate applicable to any indebtedness which this Agreement secures, all amounts so expended by Secured Party.
(h) Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party that all financial statements and credit applications delivered by Debtor to Secured Party accurately reflect the financial condition and operations of Debtor at the times and for the periods therein stated. So long as this Agreement is in force and effect, Debtor agrees to deliver to Secured Party within 90 days after the end of each of Debtors fiscal years, a complete and accurate copy of Debtors compiled financial statements, including consolidated statements of cash flow, and a consolidated balance sheet and statement of income, together with all schedules, showing the consolidated financial position of Debtor at the close of such fiscal year, and concurrently therewith a certificate of its Manager or chief financial officer to the effect that such officer is not aware of any condition or event which constitutes a default under this Agreement or under any notes or other obligations of Debtor or which, with the mere passage of time or notice, or both, would constitute a default under this Agreement or a default under any such franchise agreement or under any notes or other obligations of Debtor.
(i) Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights in any Collateral unless such waiver is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Secured Party. No delay or omission by Secured Party in exercising any of Secured Partys rights shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other rights. Secured Party shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or applicable law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(j) Debtor will maintain the Collateral in good condition and repair and will pay promptly all taxes, levies, and encumbrances and all repair, maintenance and preservation costs pertaining to the Collateral. If Debtor fails to make such payments, Secured Party shall have the option, but not the obligation, to pay the same and Debtor agrees to repay, with interest at the highest rate applicable to any indebtedness which this Agreement secures, all amounts so expended by Secured Party. Debtor will at any time and from time to time, upon request of Secured Party, give any representative of Secured Party access during normal business hours to inspect the Collateral or the books and records thereof.
(k) Debtor agrees to pay on demand, all expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, incurred by Secured Party in protecting or enforcing its rights in the Collateral or otherwise under this Agreement. After deducting all said expenses, the remainder of any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied to the indebtedness due Secured Party in such order of preference as Secured Party shall determine.
(l) Debtor hereby agrees to faithfully preserve and protect Secured Partys security interest in the Collateral at all times, and further agrees to execute and deliver, from time to time, any and all further, or other, documents, instruments, continuation statements and perform or refrain from performing such acts, as Secured Party may reasonably request to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to secure to Secured Party the benefits of all the rights, authorities and remedies conferred upon Secured Party by the terms of this Agreement. Debtor shall permit, or cause to be permitted, at Debtors expense, representatives of Secured Party to inspect and make copies of the books and records of Debtor relating to the Collateral at any reasonable time during normal business hours upon prior written notice.
3. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default (hereinafter called Default) hereunder:
(a) The failure of Debtor to make any payment on any indebtedness to Secured Party whether pursuant to the Note or any other obligation to Secured Party, or a default in any provision of the Note or any other agreement or document secured hereby or any other encumbrance or agreement securing the Note, which is not cured within any applicable cure period;
(b) The breach of or failure to perform promptly any obligation or covenant set forth in this Agreement, or the breach or the failure to perform promptly any obligation or covenant set forth in the Note or any other agreement secured hereby or securing the Note, which is not cured within any applicable cure period;

Debtor agrees that upon demand by Secured Party after default, Debtor will promptly assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to Secured Party at a place convenient to Secured Party.
(b) Debtor agrees that all of the Collateral and all of the other security which may be granted to Secured Party in connection with the obligations secured hereby constitute equal security for all of the obligations secured hereby, and agrees that Secured Party shall be entitled to sell, retain or otherwise deal with any or all of the Collateral, in any order or simultaneously as Secured Party shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, free of any requirement for the marshaling of assets or other restriction upon Secured Party in dealing with the Collateral or such other security.
(c) Upon the occurrence of any default under this Agreement, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, Debtor hereby irrevocably constitute and appoints Secured Party (and any employee or agent of Secured Party) as Debtors true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, in Secured Partys name or Debtors name or otherwise, for Secured Partys sole use and benefit, at Debtors cost and expense, to exercise the following powers with respect to the Collateral:

5. To sign Debtors name to and file financing statements or such other documents and instruments as Secured Party may deem appropriate; and
6. To take any and all action that Secured Party deems necessary or proper to preserve its interest in the Collateral, including without limitation, the payment of debts of Debtor that might impair the Collateral or Secured Partys security interest therein, the purchase of insurance on the Collateral, the repair or safeguard of the Collateral, or the payment of taxes thereon; and
7. To notify account debtors of Secured Partys security interest in Debtors accounts and to instruct them to make payment directly to Secured Party.
(d) Debtor agrees that the powers of attorney granted herein are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until full, final and irrevocable payment and performance of the indebtedness secured hereby; and that neither Secured Party nor any officer, director, employee or agent of Secured Party shall be liable for any act or omission, or for any mistake or error of judgment, in connection with any such powers.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise any such powers, or to collect any amount due on the Collateral, to realize on the Collateral, to keep the Collateral, to make any presentment, demand or notice of protest in connection with the Collateral, or to perform any other act relating to the enforcement, collection or protection of the Collateral.
(f) This Agreement shall not prejudice the right of Secured Party at its option to enforce the collection of any indebtedness secured hereby or any other instrument executed in connection with this transaction, by suit or in any other lawful manner. No right or remedy is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but every such right or remedy shall be cumulative to every other right or remedy herein or conferred in any other agreement or document for the benefit of Secured Party, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
(g) Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement may be taken by Secured Party either in Debtors name or in Secured Partys name, as Secured Party may deem necessary.
(h) All rights of marshaling of assets of Debtor, including any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived by Debtor.
5. Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver .
(a) No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Secured Party hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Secured Party, may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken non-judicial proceedings, or both.
(b) No delay or omission of Secured Party to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or
an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Secured Party.
6. Further Assurances; Certain Waivers .
(a) Debtor agrees that, from time to time, at the expense of Debtor, Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor shall: (i) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to Secured Party such note or instrument duly endorsed (without recourse) and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party; and (ii) execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby.
(b) Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor where permitted by law. Copies of any such statement or amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to Debtor.
(c) Debtor shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees or re-filing, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement supplemental hereto and any instruments of further assurance.
(d) Debtor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law (i) all rights under any law limiting remedies, including recovery of a deficiency, under an obligation secured by a security deed on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in the security deed, and all defenses based on any loss whether as a result of any such sale or otherwise; (ii) all rights under any law to require Secured Party to pursue any other person, any security which Secured Party may hold, or any other remedy before proceeding against Debtor; (iii) all rights to participate in any security held by Secured Party until the obligations have been paid in full; and (iv) all rights to require Secured Party to give any notices of any kind including, without limitation, notices of nonpayment, nonperformance, protest, dishonor, default, delinquency or acceleration, or to make any presentments, demands or protests, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Secured Party shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Debtor hereby waives any claims
against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the obligations, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that such private sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement and the security interest in the Collateral created hereby shall terminate when the obligations and indebtedness hereunder have been fully, finally and irrevocably paid and all other obligations of Debtor to Secured Party have been performed in full. Prior to such termination, this shall be a continuing agreement.
(b) This Agreement and Note will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with federal law and the laws of the State of Georgia.
(c) DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION UNDER OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL SECURED PARTY BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
(d) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns and to any other holder who derives from Secured Party title to or an interest in the indebtedness which this Agreement secures, and shall be binding upon Debtor, its successors and assigns.
(e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.
(f) Any provision to the contrary notwithstanding contained herein or in the Note or in any other instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to any secured indebtedness, neither Secured Party nor any other holder of the secured indebtedness shall be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall Debtor be obligated to pay, interest on any of the secured indebtedness in excess of the maximum rate of interest at the particular time in question, if any, which, under applicable law, may be charged to Debtor (herein the Maximum Rate), provided that the Maximum Rate shall be automatically increased or decreased, as the case may be, without notice to Debtor from time to time as of the effective time of each change in the Maximum Rate, and if any provision herein or in the Note or in such other instrument shall ever be construed or held to permit the collection or to require the payment of any amount of interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this paragraph shall control and
shall override any contrary or inconsistent provision herein or in the Note or in such other instrument. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to the usury limitations under applicable law, the Note, this Agreement, and each other instrument now or hereafter evidencing or relating to any secured indebtedness shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.

(i) If more than one party shall execute this Agreement as Debtor, the term Debtor shall mean all such parties executing this Agreement, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder.

(c) Debtor will give Secured Party sixty (60) days prior written notice of any change in (i) Debtors chief executive office (or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtors residence), the location of the Collateral or the location of the records described above, or (ii) the ownership of Debtors business, (iii) the principals responsible for the management of Debtors business, (iv) Debtors corporate structure or identity, or (v) Debtors name or trade name, or prior to commencing to use an assumed name not set forth in this Agreement. Lender acknowledges that Erin Nursing, LLC has registered the trade name Southland Care Center and is operating the business under such name.
(d) If any of the Collateral is to be or has been attached to real estate, the legal description of the real estate is attached to this Agreement as Schedule 2 and made a part hereof.
(e) If Debtor does not have a record interest in the real estate described above, the record owner is indicated on the attached Schedule 2.
(f) Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Debtor will not move, sell, lease, permit any encumbrance on or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, other than its inventory in the ordinary course of its business. Debtor represents and warrants that Debtor is the sole owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all liens, charges, interests, and encumbrances, other than in favor of Secured Party, that no other person or other entity has any interest in the Collateral whatsoever, and that Debtor will defend same against all adverse claims and demands.
(g) Debtor will keep the Collateral insured by such companies, in such amounts and against such risks as shall be acceptable to Secured Party, with loss payable and additional insured clauses in favor of Secured Party as are satisfactory to Secured Party. Debtor will deposit such insurance policies with Secured Party. Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party and grants to Secured Party a security interest in any return of unearned premium due upon cancellation of any such insurance and directs the insurer thereunder to pay to Secured Party all amounts so due. All amounts received by Secured
Party in payment of insurance losses or return of unearned premium may, at Secured Partys option, be applied to the indebtedness by Secured Party, or all or any part thereof may be used for the purpose of repairing, replacing or restoring the Collateral. If Debtor fails to maintain satisfactory insurance, Secured Party shall have the option, but not the obligation, to obtain such insurance in such amounts as Secured Party deems necessary, and Debtor agrees to repay, with interest at the highest rate applicable to any indebtedness which this Agreement secures, all amounts so expended by Secured Party.
(h) Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party that all financial statements and credit applications delivered by Debtor to Secured Party accurately reflect the financial condition and operations of Debtor at the times and for the periods therein stated. So long as this Agreement is in force and effect, Debtor agrees to deliver to Secured Party within 120 days after the end of each of Debtors fiscal years, a complete and accurate copy of Debtors compiled financial statements, including consolidated statements of cash flow, and a consolidated balance sheet and statement of income, together with all schedules, showing the consolidated financial position of Debtor at the close of such fiscal year, and concurrently therewith a certificate of its Manager or chief financial officer to the effect that such officer is not aware of any condition or event which constitutes a default under this Agreement or under any notes or other obligations of Debtor or which, with the mere passage of time or notice, or both, would constitute a default under this Agreement or a default under any such franchise agreement or under any notes or other obligations of Debtor.
(i) Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights in any Collateral unless such waiver is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Secured Party. No delay or omission by Secured Party in exercising any of Secured Partys rights shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other rights. Secured Party shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or applicable law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(j) Debtor will maintain the Collateral in good condition and repair and will pay promptly all taxes, levies, and encumbrances and all repair, maintenance and preservation costs pertaining to the Collateral. If Debtor fails to make such payments, Secured Party shall have the option, but not the obligation, to pay the same and Debtor agrees to repay, with interest at the highest rate applicable to any indebtedness which this Agreement secures, all amounts so expended by Secured Party. Debtor will at any time and from time to time, upon request of Secured Party, give any representative of Secured Party access during normal business hours to inspect the Collateral or the books and records thereof.
(k) Debtor agrees to pay on demand, all expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, incurred by Secured Party in protecting or enforcing its rights in the Collateral or otherwise under this Agreement. After deducting all said expenses, the remainder of any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied to the indebtedness due Secured Party in such order of preference as Secured Party shall determine.
(l) Debtor hereby agrees to faithfully preserve and protect Secured Partys security interest in the Collateral at all times, and further agrees to execute and deliver, from time to time, any and all further, or other, documents, instruments, continuation statements and perform or refrain from performing such acts, as Secured Party may reasonably request to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to secure to Secured Party the benefits of all the rights, authorities and remedies conferred upon Secured Party by the terms of this Agreement. Debtor shall permit, or cause to be permitted, at Debtors expense, representatives of Secured Party to inspect and make copies of the books and records of Debtor relating to the Collateral at any reasonable time during normal business hours upon prior written notice.
3. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default (hereinafter called Default) hereunder:
(a) The failure of Debtor to make any payment on any indebtedness to Secured Party whether pursuant to the Note or any other obligation to Secured Party, or a default in any provision of the Note or any other agreement or document secured hereby or any other encumbrance or agreement securing the Note, which is not cured within any applicable cure period;
(b) The breach of or failure to perform promptly any obligation or covenant set forth in this Agreement, or the breach or the failure to perform promptly any obligation or covenant set forth in the Note or any other agreement secured hereby or securing the Note, which is not cured within any applicable cure period;

(d) The failure to effectively and promptly discharge, stay or indemnify against, to Secured Partys satisfaction, any lien or attachment against any of Debtors property or the Collateral;
(e) Any representation or warranty contained herein or in any other document delivered by or on behalf of Debtor to Secured Party shall be false or misleading when made;
(f) If Secured Party, in good faith, believes the prospect of payment secured by this Agreement is impaired, or believes that any of the Collateral is in danger of loss, misuse, seizure or confiscation;
(g) Any guaranty of the obligations described herein ceases to be effective, except pursuant to a written release from Secured Party, or any guarantor denies liability thereunder, or one of the events described in Paragraph 3(c) hereof occurs with respect to any guarantor, or any default occurs under any such guaranty;
(h) If Debtor is a corporation, the occurrence of any of the following without the Secured Partys written consent: the sale, pledge or assignment by the shareholders of Debtor of any shares of stock of Debtor; the merger or consolidation of Debtor with another company or entity; the change of the Debtors name; the liquidation of Debtor; or the issuance by Debtor of any new stock or warrants, or the transfer of issued and outstanding treasury stock or warrants of Debtor.

(i) The occurrence of any default, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, or event of default under any other document or agreement securing or guaranteeing any of the obligations secured by the Agreement; or the occurrence of any default, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any or event of default due to any material indebtedness or obligation of Debtor to any third party that causes such third party to declare such indebtedness or other obligation due prior to its scheduled date of maturity; or
(j) The occurrence of any default, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, or event of default under or with respect to any obligation of Debtor to any affiliate of Secured Party (for the purposes of this subparagraph, affiliate is defined as BANK OF ATLANTA or any entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by BANK OF ATLANTA).
4. Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any default under this Agreement, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, Secured Party is authorized in its discretion to declare any or all of the indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without demand
or notice to Debtor, and may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies granted pursuant to this Agreement or given to a secured party under applicable law, including without limitation the Uniform Commercial Code, such rights and remedies to include without limitation the right to take possession and sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral. If reasonable notice of any disposition of Collateral or other enforcement is required, such requirement will be met if such notice is mailed, postage pre-paid, to the address of Debtor shown below Debtors signature on this Agreement at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time of disposition or other enforcement. Debtor agrees that upon demand by Secured Party after default, Debtor will promptly assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to Secured Party at a place convenient to Secured Party.
(b) Debtor agrees that all of the Collateral and all of the other security which may be granted to Secured Party in connection with the obligations secured hereby constitute equal security for all of the obligations secured hereby, and agrees that Secured Party shall be entitled to sell, retain or otherwise deal with any or all of the Collateral, in any order or simultaneously as Secured Party shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, free of any requirement for the marshaling of assets or other restriction upon Secured Party in dealing with the Collateral or such other security.
(c) Upon the occurrence of any default under this Agreement, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, Debtor hereby irrevocably constitute and appoints Secured Party (and any employee or agent of Secured Party) as Debtors true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, in Secured Partys name or Debtors name or otherwise, for Secured Partys sole use and benefit, at Debtors cost and expense, to exercise the following powers with respect to the Collateral:
1. To demand, sue for collection, receive, and give acquittance for any and all monies due or owing with respect to the Collateral;
2. To receive, take, endorse Debtors name on, assign and deliver any checks, notes, drafts, documents or other instruments taken or received by Secured Party in connection with the Collateral;
3. To settle, compromise, prosecute, or defend any action or proceeding with respect to the Collateral;
4. To sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the Collateral or the proceeds thereof, as fully as if Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof;
5. To sign Debtors name to and file financing statements or such other documents and instruments as Secured Party may deem appropriate; and
6. To take any and all action that Secured Party deems necessary or proper to preserve its interest in the Collateral, including without limitation, the payment of debts of Debtor that might impair the Collateral or Secured Partys security interest therein, the purchase of insurance on the Collateral, the repair or safeguard of the Collateral, or the payment of taxes thereon; and
7. To notify account debtors of Secured Partys security interest in Debtors accounts and to instruct them to make payment directly to Secured Party.
(d) Debtor agrees that the powers of attorney granted herein are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until full, final and irrevocable payment and performance of the indebtedness secured hereby; and that neither Secured Party nor any officer, director, employee or agent of Secured Party shall be liable for any act or omission, or for any mistake or error of judgment, in connection with any such powers.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise any such powers, or to collect any amount due on the Collateral, to realize on the Collateral, to keep the Collateral, to make any presentment, demand or notice of protest in connection with the Collateral, or to perform any other act relating to the enforcement, collection or protection of the Collateral.
(f) This Agreement shall not prejudice the right of Secured Party at its option to enforce the collection of any indebtedness secured hereby or any other instrument executed in connection with this transaction, by suit or in any other lawful manner. No right or remedy is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but every such right or remedy shall be cumulative to every other right or remedy herein or conferred in any other agreement or document for the benefit of Secured Party, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
(g) Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement may be taken by Secured Party either in Debtors name or in Secured Partys name, as Secured Party may deem necessary.
(h) All rights of marshaling of assets of Debtor, including any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived by Debtor.
5. Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver .
(a) No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Secured Party hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Secured Party, may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken non-judicial proceedings, or both.
(b) No delay or omission of Secured Party to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or
an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Secured Party.
6. Further Assurances; Certain Waivers .
(a) Debtor agrees that, from time to time, at the expense of Debtor, Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor shall: (i) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to Secured Party such note or instrument duly endorsed (without recourse) and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party; and (ii) execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby.
(b) Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor where permitted by law. Copies of any such statement or amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to Debtor.
(c) Debtor shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees or re-filing, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement supplemental hereto and any instruments of further assurance.
(d) Debtor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law (i) all rights under any law limiting remedies, including recovery of a deficiency, under an obligation secured by a security deed on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in the security deed, and all defenses based on any loss whether as a result of any such sale or otherwise; (ii) all rights under any law to require Secured Party to pursue any other person, any security which Secured Party may hold, or any other remedy before proceeding against Debtor; (iii) all rights to participate in any security held by Secured Party until the obligations have been paid in full; and (iv) all rights to require Secured Party to give any notices of any kind including, without limitation, notices of nonpayment, nonperformance, protest, dishonor, default, delinquency or acceleration, or to make any presentments, demands or protests, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Secured Party shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Debtor hereby waives any claims
against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the obligations, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that such private sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement and the security interest in the Collateral created hereby shall terminate when the obligations and indebtedness hereunder have been fully, finally and irrevocably paid and all other obligations of Debtor to Secured Party have been performed in full. Prior to such termination, this shall be a continuing agreement.
(b) This Agreement and Note will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with federal law and the laws of the State of Georgia.
(c) DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION UNDER OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL SECURED PARTY BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
(d) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns and to any other holder who derives from Secured Party title to or an interest in the indebtedness which this Agreement secures, and shall be binding upon Debtor, its successors and assigns.
(e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.
(f) Any provision to the contrary notwithstanding contained herein or in the Note or in any other instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to any secured indebtedness, neither Secured Party nor any other holder of the secured indebtedness shall be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall Debtor be obligated to pay, interest on any of the secured indebtedness in excess of the maximum rate of interest at the particular time in question, if any, which, under applicable law, may be charged to Debtor (herein the Maximum Rate), provided that the Maximum Rate shall be automatically increased or decreased, as the case may be, without notice to Debtor from time to time as of the effective time of each change in the Maximum Rate, and if any provision herein or in the Note or in such other instrument shall ever be construed or held to permit the collection or to require the payment of any amount of interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this paragraph shall control and
shall override any contrary or inconsistent provision herein or in the Note or in such other instrument. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to the usury limitations under applicable law, the Note, this Agreement, and each other instrument now or hereafter evidencing or relating to any secured indebtedness shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.
(g) All notices pursuant to this Security Agreement shall be in writing and shall be directed to the addresses set forth below or such other address as may be specified in writing, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested by the party to which or whom notices are to be given. Notices shall be deemed to be given three (3) days after mailing by depositing same in any United States post office station or letter box in a post-paid envelope.
(h) The singular used herein shall include the plural.
(i) If more than one party shall execute this Agreement as Debtor, the term Debtor shall mean all such parties executing this Agreement, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder.
(j) A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any government office.
(k) THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
(l) SBA Loan. The Loan secured by this lien was made under a United States Small Business Administration (SBA) nationwide program which uses tax dollars to assist small business owners. If the United States is seeking to enforce this document, then under SBA regulations:
a) When SBA is the holder of the Note, this document and all documents evidencing or securing this Loan will be construed in accordance with federal law.
b) Lender or SBA may use local or state procedures for purposes such as filing papers, recording documents, giving notice, foreclosing liens, and other purposes. By using these procedures, SBA does not waive any federal immunity from local or state control, penalty, tax or liability. No Borrower or Guarantor may claim or assert against SBA any local or state law to deny any obligation of Borrower, or defeat any claim of SBA with respect to this Loan.
Any clause in this document requiring arbitration is not enforceable when SBA is the holder of the Note secured by this instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date written below.

GUARANTY
1. As an inducement for and in consideration of any loan(s), lease(s), or other financial accommodation(s) of even date herewith granted to BANK OF ATLANTA (hereinafter collectively called Obligor), by Erin Property Holdings, LLC (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns, called Lender), the undersigned, Erin Nursing, LLC, (hereinafter called Guarantor), hereby, jointly and severally if more than one, unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment, observance and performance when due, whether at the stated time, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of Obligor to Lender, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, whether or not of the same or similar class or of like kind to any indebtedness incurred contemporaneously with the execution of this Guaranty, and whether now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, including without limitation, the following:
(a) Any and all amounts owed by Obligor under, in connection with, and/or pursuant to the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Term Note of even date herewith, in the original aggregate principal sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the Note), with interest thereon according to the provisions thereof, and all obligations of Obligor thereunder, in connection therewith and/or pursuant to any and all agreements and other documents in connection therewith; and
(b) All sums advanced or expenses or costs paid or incurred (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and other legal expenses) by Lender pursuant to or in connection with the Note or any agreements and other documents in connection therewith plus applicable interest on such sums, expenses or costs; and
(c) Any extensions, modifications, changes, substitutions, restatements, renewals or increases or decreases of any or all of the indebtedness referenced above; and
(d) Any and all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of any kind, of Obligor to Lender, now or hereafter existing, absolute or contingent, joint and/or several, due or not due, secured or unsecured, arising by operation of law or otherwise, direct or indirect, including without limitation indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Obligor to Lender as a member of any partnership, syndicate or association or other group and whether incurred by Obligor as principal, surety, endorser, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise, and any obligations which give rise to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to an obligation by Obligor to pay Lender.
2. All of the obligations described in paragraph 1, above, shall be referred to hereafter as the Liabilities. In the event any of the Liabilities shall not be paid or performed according to their terms, Guarantor, shall immediately pay, perform or cause the performance of the same, this Guaranty being a guarantee of full payment and performance and not of collectibility and in no way conditional or contingent. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guarantee the Guarantor being jointly and severally liable with the Obligor and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Lender first attempt to collect payment or seek performances of any of the Liabilities from Obligor or any other obligor or guarantor, or resort to any other security or other means of obtaining payment or performance of any of the Liabilities, or upon any other contingency whatsoever.
3. Guarantor further agrees to pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by Lender in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities, or any part thereof, and in enforcing or defending this Guaranty, whether or not a lawsuit is commenced.
4. Guarantor represents and warrants that Guarantor is either financially interested in Obligor or will receive other material economic benefits as a result of any loan(s), leases(s) or other financial accommodation(s) made or granted to Obligor by Lender from time to time. Guarantor further represents and warrants that Guarantor is willing to enter into this Guaranty as a material inducement to Lender to extend loan(s) or other financial accommodation(s), or to enter into lease(s), from time to time to or with Obligor, and acknowledges that Lender would not be willing to extend any such loan(s) or other financial accommodation(s) or enter into such lease(s) absent this Guaranty. In any community property state, if Guarantor is married, Guarantors promise is made for the benefit of Guarantors marital community.
5. Guarantor agrees that the occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under this Guaranty: (a) the failure of Guarantor to perform or observe any obligation under this Guaranty or (b) the death, incompetency, dissolution or insolvency of Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities, or (c) the inability of Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities to pay debts as they mature, or (d) an assignment by Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities for the benefit of creditors, or (e) the institution of any proceeding by or against Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities (under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian for itself or for all or a substantial part of its property unless such petition and the case or proceeding initiated thereby are dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date of such filing, or (f) the institution by Guarantor or any other person or entity of any liquidation, dissolution or reorganization proceedings with respect to Guarantor, or (g) the default by Obligor under any other agreement or document concerning or relating to the Liabilities, or (h) the default by Guarantor under the terms of any other obligation of Guarantor to Lender, or (i) any representation or warranty contained herein or in any other document delivered by or on behalf of Guarantor or Obligor to Lender shall be false or misleading in any material respect, or (j) there shall be a default or event of default under any other agreement or document securing or guaranteeing any of the obligations secured by this Guaranty; or (k) if Guarantor is a corporation, the sale, pledge or assignment by the shareholders of Guarantor of any shares of the stock of Guarantor without the prior written consent of Lender; the transfer of Guarantors assets not in the ordinary course of the Guarantors business; the merger or consolidation of Guarantor with another company or entity; the liquidation of Guarantor; or the issuance by Guarantor of any new stock or warrants, or the transfer of issued and outstanding treasury stock or warrants of Guarantor, or (l) if Guarantor is a partnership or joint venture, the sale, pledge, transfer or assignment by any of the partners or joint venturers of Guarantor of any of their partnership or joint venture interest in Guarantor; the withdrawal of any general partner(s) or joint venturer(s); or the admittance of any additional partner(s) or joint venturer(s) into Guarantor without the prior written consent of Lender. Upon and after the occurrence of a default hereunder, the Liabilities shall be automatically accelerated and shall become immediately due and payable by Guarantor,
or Guarantors successor or estate, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Guarantor.
6. Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment to or for the benefit of Lender of the Liabilities, or any part thereof, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender due to the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment to or for the benefit of Lender had not been made.
7. Lender may, without demand or notice of any kind, at any time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by Guarantor, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such amount, and in such order of application as Lender may from time to time elect, any property, balances, credits, deposits, accounts, instruments or moneys of Guarantor in the possession or control of Lender for any purpose.
8. This Guaranty shall be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectibility and shall remain in full force and effect as to Guarantor, subject to discontinuance only as follows: Guarantor, or any person duly authorized and acting on behalf of Guarantor, may give written notice to Lender of discontinuance of this Guaranty, but no such notice shall be effective in any respect until it is actually received by Lender and no such notice shall affect or impair the obligations hereunder of Guarantor with respect to any Liabilities existing at the date of receipt of such notice by Lender (or any Liabilities required or permitted to be advanced by Lender on or after such date), or for renewals or extensions of such Liabilities made after Lender receives Guarantors notice, or any interest thereon or any expenses paid or incurred by Lender in endeavoring to collect such Liabilities, or any part thereof, or in enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor. Any such notice of discontinuance by or on behalf of any Guarantor shall not affect, impair or release the obligations hereunder of any other guarantor with respect to any of the Liabilities.
9. Guarantor hereby agrees to provide Lender, upon filing, or as appropriate, a certified copy of Guarantors most recent federal tax return, and within ninety (90) days of its fiscal year end, a compiled financial statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and concurrently therewith a certificate to the effect that such Guarantor is not aware of any condition or event which constitutes a default under this Guaranty or a default under any agreement (to which Guarantor or Obligor is a party), or under any notes or other obligations of Guarantor or which, with the mere passage of time or notice, or both, would constitute a default under this Guaranty.
10. Lender may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, and without affecting, impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, do any or all of the following: (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Liabilities or any obligations hereunder, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary liability of any party or parties, in addition to Guarantor, with respect to any of the Liabilities, (c) renew, extend (including extensions beyond the original term), modify, alter, change the interest rate of, release or discharge any of the Liabilities, (d) settle, release or compromise any liability of any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities or any liability of any
nature of any other party or parties with respect to the Liabilities or any security therefor, (e) accept partial payments of the Liabilities, (f) settle, release (by operation of law or otherwise), compound, compromise, collect or liquidate any of the Liabilities and any property securing any of the Liabilities, (g) consent to the transfer of any property securing any of the Liabilities, (h) resort to Guarantor for payment of any of the Liabilities, whether or not Lender shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or shall have proceeded against any other guarantor or any other party primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities, (i) make any other changes in its agreements with Obligor, and (j) stop lending money or extending other credit to Obligor.
11. Any amount received by Lender from whatsoever source and applied by it to the payment of the Liabilities may be applied in such order of application as Lender may from time to time elect.
12. Guarantor is now adequately informed of Obligors financial condition, and Guarantor agrees to keep so informed. Guarantor agrees that Lender has no obligation to provide Guarantor with any present or future information concerning the financial condition of Obligor. Guarantor has not relied on financial information furnished by Lender in deciding to execute this Guaranty.
13. Guarantor hereby agrees that any debt of Obligor to Guarantor is expressly subordinate to the right of Lender to payment of the Liabilities, and that Lender shall be entitled to full payment of all of the Liabilities prior to the exercise by Guarantor of any rights to payment or performance of any debt which the Obligor may owe Guarantor. Guarantor assigns to Lender all rights Guarantor may have in any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any receivership or insolvency proceeding of Obligor, including all rights of Guarantor to be paid by Obligor. This assignment does not prevent Lender from enforcing Guarantors obligations hereunder in any way.
14. Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the Liabilities, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever, (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Liabilities or any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing, (e) all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral, and (f) all events and circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense or discharge of the obligations of Obligor, Guarantor or any other guarantor. Guarantor shall not be released or discharged, either in whole or in part, by Lenders failure to perfect, delay in perfection or failure to continue the perfection of any security interest in any property that secures any of the Liabilities or any obligation of Guarantor hereunder, or to protect the property covered by any such security interest.
15. Lender may, without notice to Guarantor or Obligor of any kind, sell, assign, or transfer all or any of the Liabilities, and in such event each and every immediate and successive assignee, transferee, or holder of all or any of the Liabilities shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such assignee, transferee, or holder, as fully as if such assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits. Lender shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such
assignee, transferee or holder, to enforce this Guaranty for the benefit of Lender as to so much of the Liabilities as it has not sold, assigned, or transferred.
16. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
17. No action of Lender permitted hereunder shall in any way affect, impair or release this Guaranty.
18. For purposes of this Guaranty, Liabilities shall include all obligations of Obligor to Lender stated herein, notwithstanding any right or power of Obligor or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the payment or performance of such Liabilities, and no such claim or defense shall affect, impair or release the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
19. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor. If more than one party shall execute this Guaranty, the term Guarantor shall mean all parties executing this Guaranty, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder.
20. As further consideration for the loan(s), lease(s), or other financial accommodation(s) by Lender to Obligor and as a material inducement to Lender to make or enter into the loan(s), lease(s), or other financial accommodation(s) and accept this Guaranty, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty or any other document delivered in connection with this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, disclaims and relinquishes any and all claims, rights or remedies which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Obligor that arise in connection with this Guaranty and/or the performance by Guarantor hereunder, including without limitation any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Lender against Obligor or any security which Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise.
21. All notices pursuant to this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be directed to the addresses set forth herein or such other address as may be specified in a notice given in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, notices shall be deemed to be given three (3) days after mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or one (1) business day after deposit with a recognized overnight courier, or when personally delivered to and received at the required address.
22. In the event any provision contained in this Guaranty is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired.
23. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE HOLDER OF THE OBLIGATIONS HEREBY GUARANTEED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST THE DEBTOR AS PROVIDED IN O.C.G.A. § 10-7-24.

1. As an inducement for and in consideration of any loan(s), lease(s), or other financial accommodation(s) of even date herewith granted to BANK OF ATLANTA (hereinafter collectively called Obligor), by Erin Property Holdings, LLC (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns, called Lender), the undersigned, AdCare Health Systems, Inc., (hereinafter called Guarantor), hereby, jointly and severally if more than one, unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment, observance and performance when due, whether at the stated time, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of Obligor to Lender, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, whether or not of the same or similar class or of like kind to any indebtedness incurred contemporaneously with the execution of this Guaranty, and whether now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, including without limitation, the following:
(a) Any and all amounts owed by Obligor under, in connection with, and/or pursuant to the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Term Note of even date herewith, in the original aggregate principal sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the Note), with interest thereon according to the provisions thereof, and all obligations of Obligor thereunder, in connection therewith and/or pursuant to any and all agreements and other documents in connection therewith; and
(b) All sums advanced or expenses or costs paid or incurred (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and other legal expenses) by Lender pursuant to or in connection with the Note or any agreements and other documents in connection therewith plus applicable interest on such sums, expenses or costs; and
(c) Any extensions, modifications, changes, substitutions, restatements, renewals or increases or decreases of any or all of the indebtedness referenced above; and
(d) Any and all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of any kind, of Obligor to Lender, now or hereafter existing, absolute or contingent, joint and/or several, due or not due, secured or unsecured, arising by operation of law or otherwise, direct or indirect, including without limitation indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Obligor to Lender as a member of any partnership, syndicate or association or other group and whether incurred by Obligor as principal, surety, endorser, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise, and any obligations which give rise to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to an obligation by Obligor to pay Lender.
2. All of the obligations described in paragraph 1, above, shall be referred to hereafter as the Liabilities. In the event any of the Liabilities shall not be paid or performed according to their terms, Guarantor, shall immediately pay, perform or cause the performance of the same, this Guaranty being a guarantee of full payment and performance and not of collectibility and in no way conditional or contingent. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guarantee the Guarantor being jointly and severally liable with the Obligor and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Lender first attempt to collect payment or seek performances of any of the Liabilities from Obligor or any other obligor or guarantor, or resort to any other security or other means of obtaining payment or performance of any of the Liabilities, or upon any other contingency whatsoever.
3. Guarantor further agrees to pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by Lender in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities, or any part thereof, and in enforcing or defending this Guaranty, whether or not a lawsuit is commenced.
4. Guarantor represents and warrants that Guarantor is either financially interested in Obligor or will receive other material economic benefits as a result of any loan(s), leases(s) or other financial accommodation(s) made or granted to Obligor by Lender from time to time. Guarantor further represents and warrants that Guarantor is willing to enter into this Guaranty as a material inducement to Lender to extend loan(s) or other financial accommodation(s), or to enter into lease(s), from time to time to or with Obligor, and acknowledges that Lender would not be willing to extend any such loan(s) or other financial accommodation(s) or enter into such lease(s) absent this Guaranty. In any community property state, if Guarantor is married, Guarantors promise is made for the benefit of Guarantors marital community.
5. Guarantor agrees that the occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under this Guaranty: (a) the failure of Guarantor to perform or observe any obligation under this Guaranty or (b) the death, incompetency, dissolution or insolvency of Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities, or (c) the inability of Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities to pay debts as they mature, or (d) an assignment by Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities for the benefit of creditors, or (e) the institution of any proceeding by or against Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities (under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian for itself or for all or a substantial part of its property unless such petition and the case or proceeding initiated thereby are dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date of such filing, or (f) the institution by Guarantor or any other person or entity of any liquidation, dissolution or reorganization proceedings with respect to Guarantor, or (g) the default by Obligor under any other agreement or document concerning or relating to the Liabilities, or (h) the default by Guarantor under the terms of any other obligation of Guarantor to Lender, or (i) any representation or warranty contained herein or in any other document delivered by or on behalf of Guarantor or Obligor to Lender shall be false or misleading in any material respect, or (j) there shall be a default or event of default under any other agreement or document securing or guaranteeing any of the obligations secured by this Guaranty. Upon and after the occurrence of a default hereunder, the Liabilities shall be automatically accelerated and shall become immediately due and payable by Guarantor, or Guarantors successor or estate, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Guarantor.
6. Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment to or for the benefit of Lender of the Liabilities, or any part thereof, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender due to the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment to or for the benefit of Lender had not been made.
7. Lender may, without demand or notice of any kind, at any time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by Guarantor, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such amount, and in such order of application as Lender may from time to time elect, any property, balances, credits, deposits, accounts, instruments or moneys of Guarantor in the possession or control of Lender for any purpose.

Guarantor assigns to Lender all rights Guarantor may have in any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any receivership or insolvency proceeding of Obligor, including all rights of Guarantor to be paid by Obligor.

15. Lender may, without notice to Guarantor or Obligor of any kind, sell, assign, or transfer all or any of the Liabilities, and in such event each and every immediate and successive assignee, transferee, or holder of all or any of the Liabilities shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such assignee, transferee, or holder, as fully as if such assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits.

other security shall in no way release or discharge the liability of the Maker. No waiver by the Payee of any breach by the Maker of any of its obligations, agreements or covenants herein shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach or of any obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by the Payee of its rights or remedies be a waiver with respect to that or any other breach.

Prior to the Closing Date, Transferor will provide to New Operator a schedule (the Employee Schedule ) which reflects, in all material respects, the following as of the Closing Date: (i) the name of all Facility-based employees (the Facility Employees ) and (ii) their positions, rates of pay, original hire dates and full/part time status and whether they are on medical disability or leave of absence. Transferor will terminate the employment of each of the Facility Employees as of the Closing Date.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, New Operator shall offer to hire, on an at-will basis, all Facility Employees so that Transferor is not required to give notice to employees of any Facility of the closure thereof under the Worker Adjustment and Restraining Notification Act (the WARN Act ) or any other comparable state law. Facility Employees shall include, but not be limited to, any employees who are on medical disability or leaves of absence and who worked at the Facility immediately prior to such disability or leave who are able to perform the essential functions of the position with or without a reasonable accommodation, and who are qualified for the position. Any such offer of employment to a Facility Employee by New Operator shall be to perform comparable services upon comparable terms as such Facility Employee held with Transferor as of the Closing Date. Transferor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to employ or offer to employ any Facility Employee who declines New Operators offer of employment. On the Closing Date, and subject to applicable law, including, without limitation, HIPAA, Transferor shall provide New Operator with employee personnel files and governing policies and procedures as part of the Facility Records.
(b) New Operator shall hire at the Closing Date, on an at-will basis, each Facility Employee who elects to accept employment with New Operator in accordance with the terms of Section 1.6(a) (all of such employees who accept employment with New Operator being
herein called the Hired Employees ). For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Transferor and its affiliates agrees to not solicit any of the Hired Employees for employment at any other facility or healthcare related company owned, operated or managed by Transferor and its affiliates. For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, New Operator and its affiliates agrees to not solicit any employees of Transferor or its affiliates currently employed at any other facility or healthcare related company owned, operated or managed by Transferor or its affiliates for any employment with New Operator or its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, general employment solicitations made pursuant to newspaper, television, radio or other general advertisement which are not specifically targeted at any particular person or group of persons shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 1.6(b) .
(c) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, Transferor shall pay to each Facility Employee, on that date which would have been the next regularly scheduled payroll date for such employee following the Closing Date, an amount equal to any and all accrued salary earned by such employee as of (but not including) the Closing Date. Transferor shall also pay to each Facility Employee, in accordance with the requirements of all applicable law, any and all vested paid time off earned by, and payable to, each Facility Employee as of (but not including) the Closing Date and provide to New Operator a schedule of such amounts to be paid by Transferor.
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall create any rights in favor of any person not a party hereto, including the Facility Employees, or constitute an employment agreement or condition of employment for any employee of Transferor or any affiliate of Transferor.
(e) Transferor shall make available group health plan continuation coverage pursuant to the requirements of Section 601, et seq. of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended ( COBRA ), to all of the Facility Employees to whom it is required to offer the same under applicable law. Transferor acknowledges and agrees that New Operator is not assuming any of Transferors obligations to its employees and/or qualified beneficiaries under COBRA or otherwise, except as specifically provided in this Section 1.6 . As of the Closing Date, all active Facility Employees: (i) who participate as of the Closing Date in group health coverage sponsored by Transferor (a summary of which group health plan shall be provided to New Operator) and (ii) who become Hired Employees, shall be eligible for participation in a group health plan (as defined for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 4980B) if established and maintained by New Operator for the general benefit of its employees and their dependents, and all such Hired Employees shall, if permissible under the plan of New Operator, be covered without a waiting period and without regard to any pre-existing condition unless (x) they are under a waiting period with Transferor at the Closing Date, in which case they shall be required to complete their waiting period while under New Operators group health plan or in accordance with the terms of New Operators benefit plan or (y) they were subject to a pre-existing condition exclusion while under Transferors group-health plan, in which case they shall be subject to the same exclusion while in New Operators group health plan or in accordance with the terms of New Operators benefit plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Operator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers of any applicable waiting period or pre-existing condition exclusions.
(f) New Operator and Transferor agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party from any Losses which such party may incur under the WARN Act or any comparable state law in the event of the violation by the other party of its obligations under
Sections 1.6(a) , (b) and (c) ; provided , however , that nothing herein shall be construed as imposing any obligations on New Operator to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Transferor from any Losses that it may incur under the WARN Act as a result of the acts or omissions of Transferor prior to the Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that New Operator shall only be liable for its own acts and omissions from and after the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any failure by New Operator to comply with its obligations under Section 1.6(b) ).
1.7 Accounts Receivable .
(a) Transferor shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all unpaid accounts receivable with respect to the Facility that relate to all periods prior to the Closing Date.
(b) Payments received by Transferor or New Operator after the Closing Date with respect to the Facility from third party payors, such as the Medicare Program, the Medicaid Program, the Veterans Administration, or managed care companies or health maintenance organizations, shall be handled as follows:
(i) if the accompanying remittance advice indicates, or if the parties otherwise agree, that the payments relate solely to services provided prior to the Closing Date, (A) in the event that such payments are received by New Operator, New Operator shall promptly remit such payments to Transferor not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received, and until so forwarded, New Operator shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Transferor and (B) in the event that such payments are received by Transferor, Transferor shall retain such payments;
(ii) if the accompanying remittance advice indicates, or if the parties otherwise agree, that the payments relate solely to services provided after the Closing Date, (A) in the event that such payments are received by New Operator, New Operator shall retain the payments and (B) in the event that such payments are received by Transferor, Transferor shall promptly remit such payments to New Operator not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received, and until so forwarded, Transferor shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of New Operator;
(iii) if the accompanying remittance advice indicates, or if the parties otherwise agree, that the payments relate to services provided both prior to and after the Closing Date, (A) in the event that such payments are received by New Operator, New Operator shall promptly following receipt of such payment (but in any event, not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received) forward to Transferor the amount of such payment relating to services provided prior to the Closing Date, and until so forwarded, New Operator shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Transferor, and (B) in the event that such payments are received by Transferor, Transferor shall promptly following receipt of such payment (but in any event, not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received) forward to New Operator the amount of such payment relating to services provided from and after the Closing Date and until so forwarded, Transferor shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of New Operator; and
(iv) if the accompanying remittance advice does not indicate the period to which a payment relates or if there is no accompanying remittance advice and if the parties do not otherwise agree as to how to apply such payment, then, any such payments received during the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against the oldest
outstanding accounts receivable due from such payor and any such payments received following the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against accounts receivable related to periods following the Closing Date.
(c) Transferor and New Operator recognize that Transferor receives periodic interim payments ( PIP Payments ) under the Medicare Program with respect to goods and services provided to the residents of the Facility prior to the Closing Date and that the remittance advice for the PIP Payments does not indicate the period to which such payments relate. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.7(b) to the contrary, Transferor and New Operator agree that the first two (2) PIP Payments received for the Facility from and after the Closing Date shall be paid to Transferor and all subsequent PIP Payments received for each Facility shall be paid to New Operator.
(d) Any payments received by Transferor or New Operator from or on behalf of private pay patients with outstanding balances as of the Closing Date will be applied as designated on the accompanying remittance advice. i f the period(s) for which such payments are made is not indicated on the accompanying remittance advice, and the parties are unable to agree as to the periods to which such payments relate, then, any such payments received during the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against the oldest outstanding account receivable due from such payor and any such payments received following the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against accounts receivable related to periods following the Closing Date.
(e) New Operator and Transferor shall forward to the other party via email or facsimile any and all remittance advices, explanation of benefits, denial of payment notices and all other correspondence received by the party that relate to services provided by the other party. The documents shall be forwarded within twenty-four (24) hours following receipt in accordance with the notice provisions contained herein.
(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit in any way Transferors rights and remedies to recover accounts receivable due and owing in respect of services rendered at the Facility prior to the Closing Date.
(g) If the parties mutually determine that any payment hereunder was misapplied by the parties, the party which erroneously received said payment shall remit the same to the other within ten (10) days after said determination is made.
(h) For a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days after the Closing Date, New Operator and Transferor shall, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours and subject to all applicable laws, including, without limitation, HIPAA, have the right to inspect all receipts and other books and records of the other respective party in order to confirm the other partys compliance with the obligations imposed on it under this Section.
(i) If either party fails to forward to the other party any payment received by such party in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.7 , the other party shall be entitled (among all other remedies allowed by law and this Agreement) to interest on the amount owed at the rate of 12% per annum, simple interest, until such payment has been paid. The payment of any interest imposed under this Section 1.7(i) , if any, shall be made together with the underlying payment therefore.
(j) In accordance with Section 1.8 , any payments received by the Transferor from residents prior to the Closing Date with respect to goods and services to be provided at the Facility during any period from and after the Closing Date shall be transferred by Transferor to the New Operator on the Closing Date.
1.8 Prorations .
(a) Subject to the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, utility charges for the billing period in which the Closing Date occurs, real and personal property taxes attributable to the Facility, and any other items of revenue or expense attributable to the Facility (the Prorated Items ) shall be prorated between Transferor and New Operator as of the Closing Date, such that all items of income and expense accruing on the Closing Date shall be for the account of New Operator. In general, such prorations shall be made so as to reimburse Transferor for prepaid expense to the extent such expense is attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date and to charge Transferor for expenses accrued but unpaid as of the Closing Date. The intent of this provision shall be implemented by New Operator remitting to Transferor any invoices for Prorated Items that reflect a service date before the Closing Date and by New Operator assuming responsibility for the payment of any invoices for Prorated Items that reflect a service date after the Closing Date with any overage or shortage in payments by either party to be adjusted and paid as provided in Sections 1.8(b) and (c) . Transferor agrees to assist in the orderly transfer of utilities, phone systems, alarm systems, and any other specialized equipment requiring dedicated lines and to provide to New Operator contact information for all requested services.
(b) All such prorations shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed in the relevant accounting, billing or revenue period and shall be based on the most recent information available to Transferor. Utility charges which are not metered and read as of the Closing Date shall be estimated based on prior charges, and shall be re-prorated upon receipt of statements therefor.
(c) To the extent possible and based on reasonable estimates, the parties shall make all prorations on the Closing Date. All amounts owing from one party hereto to the other party hereto that require adjustment after the Closing Date shall be settled within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date or, in the event the information necessary for such adjustment is not available within said thirty (30) day period, then as soon thereafter as practicable; provided, however, that all such adjustments shall be made within one (1) year after the Closing Date.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, New Operator shall transfer to Transferor an amount equal to any petty cash remaining at the Facility on the Closing Date.
1.9 Access to Records .
(a) On the Closing Date, Transferor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, HIPAA, allow all of the Facility Records that are in Transferors possession or control to remain at the Facility or if requested by New Operator, to the extent such records are in an electronic format, provide such information directly to New Operator for downloading by New Operator on its computer system.
(b) Subsequent to the Closing Date, New Operator shall allow Transferor and its agents and representatives to have reasonable access to (upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours), and to make copies of, at Transferors expense, the books and records and supporting material of the Facility relating to any period prior to the Closing Date, to the extent reasonably requested by Transferor, which access shall not unreasonably disrupt New Operators operations.
(c) Transferor shall be entitled to remove the originals of any records delivered to New Operator, for purposes of litigation involving a resident or employee to whom such record relates, if an officer of a court of competent jurisdiction or agency official certifies that such original must be produced in order to comply with applicable law or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with such litigation and Transferor shall provide New Operator with a complete copy of such records prior to its removal at Transferors reasonable cost and expense and as a condition precedent to receiving such original record. Any record so removed shall promptly be returned to New Operator following its use.
(d) New Operator agrees to maintain the Facility Records that have been received by New Operator from Transferor or otherwise, including, but not limited to, resident records and records of resident funds, to the extent required by law, but in no event for less than seven (7) years, and thereafter shall allow Transferor a reasonable opportunity to remove such documents, at Transferors expense, in the event that New Operator shall decide to dispose of such documents. Prior to disposing of any Facility Records, New Operator shall give Transferor written notice of New Operators intention to dispose of such records, and Transferor may, within a period of sixty (60) calendar days from the receipt of any such notice, notify New Operator of its desire to retain any such records. Upon the receipt of such notice, New Operator shall deliver to Transferor, at Transferors sole cost and expense, any records which Transferor so elects to retain.
1.10 Cost Reports . Transferor shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate Medicare and Medicaid agencies any final cost reports with respect to its operation of the Facility which are required to be filed by law under the terms of the Medicare and Medicaid Programs. New Operator acknowledges that Medicare Part A coinsurance receivables from dates of service prior to the Closing Date exist and agrees that to the extent the information is provided to the New Operator so that it may accurately reflect the information in the filing to (i) report any uncollectible amounts (i.e., Medicare Bad Debts) from the Transferors dates of service on its initial Medicare cost report and any subsequent cost reports if needed and (ii) if the New Operator receives payment on the Medicare Part A Bad Debts that are from the Transferors dates of service, the New Operator will reimburse the Transferor for these amounts at such time as the Transferor provides a schedule of the Medicare Bad Debts and supporting documentation to the New Operator.
1.11 Recoupments . Transferor acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Section 1.12 , it shall be responsible for all Medicare and Medicaid billing and cost reports filed with Medicare and Medicaid with respect to the Facility prior to the Closing Date, and New Operator acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for all Medicare and Medicaid billing and cost reports filed with Medicare and Medicaid with respect to the Facility from and after the Closing Date. Accordingly, in the event it is determined by Medicare or Medicaid that as a result of an audit or a denial of a claim (a) Transferor has been overpaid during the pre-Closing Date period or has otherwise received payment(s) for goods or services provided at the Facility
prior to the Closing Date to which it was not entitled for any reason under applicable Medicare or Medicaid rules and regulations or (b) New Operator has been overpaid during the period from and after the Closing Date or has otherwise received payment(s) for goods or services provided at the Facility from and after the Closing Date to which it was not entitled for any reason under applicable Medicare or Medicaid rules and regulations (collectively, each partys Reimbursement Obligations ), each party is and shall be responsible for its Reimbursement Obligations. Accordingly, Transferor and New Operator (as applicable, Indemnitor ) each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other (as applicable, Indemnitee ) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses or other charges incurred by, assessed against or paid by Indemnitee (the Claims ) with respect to the Reimbursement Obligations of Indemnitor. Each party agrees promptly after receipt thereof to provide the other party with any documentation received by it that it believes may give rise to a Claim under this Section (an Indemnity Notice ). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice, Indemnitor shall in good faith review the Claim and, if appropriate, Indemnitor shall, at its sole cost and expense, challenge, appeal or defend against the matter described in the Indemnity Notice within the applicable time periods required by law or agreement with the payor, and, in such event, no payment shall be due from Indemnitor to Indemnitee under this Section until the earlier to occur of (i) the full and final resolution of such claim on terms which require a payment by Indemnitor or Indemnitee or (ii) the recoupment from Indemnitee in whole or in part of the amount which is the subject of such Indemnity Notice, in which event payment shall be made within twenty (20) days following notice to Indemnitee of an event described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) hereof. If Indemnitor notifies Indemnitee in writing of its intention to challenge, appeal or defend any Claim, Indemnitor shall control such challenge, appeal or defense in its sole discretion and Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee for any fees of counsel or any other expenses with respect to the challenge, appeal or defense of such Claim following any such notify; provided , however , Indemnitor may not settle any such challenge, appeal or defense without the consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the sole relief provided is payment of the applicable Reimbursement Obligations (and then only to the extent that such Reimbursement Obligations relate to periods for which Indemnitor is responsible). If Indemnitor fails or elects not to challenge, appeal or defend the Claims described in the Indemnity Notice, Indemnitor shall indemnify Indemnitee against such Claims within twenty (20) days following the thirty (30) day period described above. In addition to the foregoing, Indemnitor agrees to cooperate with Indemnitee in responding to any Claim and, subject to applicable law (including, without limitation, HIPAA) to make available to Indemnitee such documents and records as Indemnitor determines may be necessary or desirable to defend any such Claims. All payments not made by Indemnitor to Indemnitee when due shall be subject to interest at the Prime Rate announced in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%) from the date due to the date paid in full. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 1.11 shall supercede and govern any other provisions of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement regarding the Reimbursement Obligations; provided , however , Transferors and New Operators obligations and liabilities under this Section 1.11 shall be subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 11.5 of the Purchase Agreement.
1.12 Post-Closing Billing . Following the Closing Date, New Operator shall cause the Hired Employees (a) to perform all tasks necessary to complete all bills for services provided during periods preceding the Closing Date and (b) to cooperate and provide reasonable assistance to Transferors Regional Accounts Manager to make final accounting entries for the
Facility for periods preceding the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, New Operator shall cause the Hired Employees to perform all tasks necessary to complete all bills for services provided prior to Closing Date, including performing the Triple Check process and related procedures required to ensure that all Medicare and Medicaid billings are comprehensive and accurate in accordance with CMS regulations and Transferors current practices.
1.13 Post-Closing Data Breach . From and after the Closing Date, New Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Transferor from and against any loss, claim or damage suffered or incurred by Transferor related to any noncompliance with any privacy or data security requirements applicable to any Facility Records (including, without limitation, HIPAA) or any breach of confidentiality with respect to or other misuse of any data or other information obtained by New Operator pursuant to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.
1.14 Surveys . Transferor represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, Plans of Correction have been submitted and approved (and are awaiting resurvey) for all outstanding compliance items identified on any state or federal surveys with respect to the Facility.
1.15 Operating Procedures Manuals .

Sections 1.6(a) , (b) and (c) ; provided , however , that nothing herein shall be construed as imposing any obligations on New Operator to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Transferor from any Losses that it may incur under the WARN Act as a result of the acts or omissions of Transferor prior to the Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that New Operator shall only be liable for its own acts and omissions from and after the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any failure by New Operator to comply with its obligations under Section 1.6(b)).

(a) Transferor shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all unpaid accounts receivable with respect to the Facility that relate to all periods prior to the Closing Date.
(b) Payments received by Transferor or New Operator after the Closing Date with respect to the Facility from third party payors, such as the Medicare Program, the Medicaid Program, the Veterans Administration, or managed care companies or health maintenance organizations, shall be handled as follows:
(i) if the accompanying remittance advice indicates, or if the parties otherwise agree, that the payments relate solely to services provided prior to the Closing Date, (A) in the event that such payments are received by New Operator, New Operator shall promptly remit such payments to Transferor not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received, and until so forwarded, New Operator shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Transferor and (B) in the event that such payments are received by Transferor, Transferor shall retain such payments;

(iii) if the accompanying remittance advice indicates, or if the parties otherwise agree, that the payments relate to services provided both prior to and after the Closing Date, (A) in the event that such payments are received by New Operator, New Operator shall promptly following receipt of such payment (but in any event, not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received) forward to Transferor the amount of such payment relating to services provided prior to the Closing Date, and until so forwarded, New Operator shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Transferor, and (B) in the event that such payments are received by Transferor, Transferor shall promptly following receipt of such payment (but in any event, not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received) forward to New Operator the amount of such payment relating to services provided from and after the Closing Date and until so forwarded, Transferor shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of New Operator; and
(iv) if the accompanying remittance advice does not indicate the period to which a payment relates or if there is no accompanying remittance advice and if the parties do not otherwise agree as to how to apply such payment, then, any such payments received during the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against the oldest
outstanding accounts receivable due from such payor and any such payments received following the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against accounts receivable related to periods following the Closing Date.
(c) Transferor and New Operator recognize that Transferor receives periodic interim payments ( PIP Payments ) under the Medicare Program with respect to goods and services provided to the residents of the Facility prior to the Closing Date and that the remittance advice for the PIP Payments does not indicate the period to which such payments relate. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.7(b) to the contrary, Transferor and New Operator agree that the first two (2) PIP Payments received for the Facility from and after the Closing Date shall be paid to Transferor and all subsequent PIP Payments received for each Facility shall be paid to New Operator.
(d) Any payments received by Transferor or New Operator from or on behalf of private pay patients with outstanding balances as of the Closing Date will be applied as designated on the accompanying remittance advice. If the period(s) for which such payments are made is not indicated on the accompanying remittance advice, and the parties are unable to agree as to the periods to which such payments relate, then, any such payments received during the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against the oldest outstanding account receivable due from such payor and any such payments received following the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against accounts receivable related to periods following the Closing Date.
(e) New Operator and Transferor shall forward to the other party via email or facsimile any and all remittance advices, explanation of benefits, denial of payment notices and all other correspondence received by the party that relate to services provided by the other party. The documents shall be forwarded within twenty-four (24) hours following receipt in accordance with the notice provisions contained herein.
(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit in any way Transferors rights and remedies to recover accounts receivable due and owing in respect of services rendered at the Facility prior to the Closing Date.
(g) If the parties mutually determine that any payment hereunder was misapplied by the parties, the party which erroneously received said payment shall remit the same to the other within ten (10) days after said determination is made.
(h) For a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days after the Closing Date, New Operator and Transferor shall, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours and subject to all applicable laws, including, without limitation, HIPAA, have the right to inspect all receipts and other books and records of the other respective party in order to confirm the other partys compliance with the obligations imposed on it under this Section.
(i) If either party fails to forward to the other party any payment received by such party in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.7 , the other party shall be entitled (among all other remedies allowed by law and this Agreement) to interest on the amount owed at the rate of 12% per annum, simple interest, until such payment has been paid. The payment of any interest imposed under this Section 1.7(i) , if any, shall be made together with the underlying payment therefore.

In general, such prorations shall be made so as to reimburse Transferor for prepaid expense to the extent such expense is attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date and to charge Transferor for expenses accrued but unpaid as of the Closing Date. The intent of this provision shall be implemented by New Operator remitting to Transferor any invoices for Prorated Items that reflect a service date before the Closing Date and by New Operator assuming responsibility for the payment of any invoices for Prorated Items that reflect a service date after the Closing Date with any overage or shortage in payments by either party to be adjusted and paid as provided in Sections 1.8(b) and (c) . Transferor agrees to assist in the orderly transfer of utilities, phone systems, alarm systems, and any other specialized equipment requiring dedicated lines and to provide to New Operator contact information for all requested services.
(b) All such prorations shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed in the relevant accounting, billing or revenue period and shall be based on the most recent information available to Transferor. Utility charges which are not metered and read as of the Closing Date shall be estimated based on prior charges, and shall be re-prorated upon receipt of statements therefor.
(c) To the extent possible and based on reasonable estimates, the parties shall make all prorations on the Closing Date. All amounts owing from one party hereto to the other party hereto that require adjustment after the Closing Date shall be settled within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date or, in the event the information necessary for such adjustment is not available within said thirty (30) day period, then as soon thereafter as practicable; provided, however, that all such adjustments shall be made within one (1) year after the Closing Date.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, New Operator shall transfer to Transferor an amount equal to any petty cash remaining at the Facility on the Closing Date.
1.9 Access to Records .
(a) On the Closing Date, Transferor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, HIPAA, allow all of the Facility Records that are in Transferors possession or control to remain at the Facility or if requested by New Operator, to the extent such records are in an electronic format, provide such information directly to New Operator for downloading by New Operator on its computer system.
(b) Subsequent to the Closing Date, New Operator shall allow Transferor and its agents and representatives to have reasonable access to (upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours), and to make copies of, at Transferors expense, the books and records and supporting material of the Facility relating to any period prior to the Closing Date, to the extent reasonably requested by Transferor, which access shall not unreasonably disrupt New Operators operations.
(c) Transferor shall be entitled to remove the originals of any records delivered to New Operator, for purposes of litigation involving a resident or employee to whom such record relates, if an officer of a court of competent jurisdiction or agency official certifies that such original must be produced in order to comply with applicable law or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with such litigation and Transferor shall provide New Operator with a complete copy of such records prior to its removal at Transferors reasonable cost and expense and as a condition precedent to receiving such original record. Any record so removed shall promptly he returned to New Operator following its use.
(d) New Operator agrees to maintain the Facility Records that have been received by New Operator from Transferor or otherwise, including, but not limited to, resident records and records of resident funds, to the extent required by law, but in no event for less than seven (7) years, and thereafter shall allow Transferor a reasonable opportunity to remove such documents, at Transferors expense, in the event that New Operator shall decide to dispose of such documents. Prior to disposing of any Facility Records, New Operator shall give Transferor written notice of New Operators intention to dispose of such records, and Transferor may, within a period of sixty (60) calendar days from the receipt of any such notice, notify New Operator of its desire to retain any such records. Upon the receipt of such notice, New Operator shall deliver to Transferor, at Transferors sole cost and expense, any records which Transferor so elects to retain.
1.10 Cost Reports . Transferor shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate Medicare and Medicaid agencies any final cost reports with respect to its operation of the Facility which are required to be filed by law under the terms of the Medicare and Medicaid Programs. New Operator acknowledges that Medicare Part A coinsurance receivables from dates of service prior to the Closing Date exist and agrees that to the extent the information is provided to the New Operator so that it may accurately reflect the information in the filing to (i) report any uncollectible amounts (i.e., Medicare Bad Debts) from the Transferors dates of service on its initial Medicare cost report and any subsequent cost reports if needed and (ii) if the New Operator receives payment on the Medicare Part A Bad Debts that are from the Transferors dates of service, the New Operator will reimburse the Transferor for these amounts at such time as the Transferor provides a schedule of the Medicare Bad Debts and supporting documentation to the New Operator.
1.11 Recoupments . Transferor acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Section 1.12 , it shall be responsible for all Medicare and Medicaid billing and cost reports filed with Medicare and Medicaid with respect to the Facility prior to the Closing Date, and New Operator acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for all Medicare and Medicaid billing and cost reports filed with Medicare and Medicaid with respect to the Facility from and after the Closing Date. Accordingly, in the event it is determined by Medicare or Medicaid that as a result of an audit or a denial of a claim (a) Transferor has been overpaid during the pre-Closing Date period or has otherwise received payment(s) for goods or services provided at the Facility
prior to the Closing Date to which it was not entitled for any reason under applicable Medicare or Medicaid rules and regulations or (b) New Operator has been overpaid during the period from and after the Closing Date or has otherwise received payment(s) for goods or services provided at the Facility from and after the Closing Date to which it was not entitled for any reason under applicable Medicare or Medicaid rules and regulations (collectively, each partys Reimbursement Obligations ), each party is and shall be responsible for its Reimbursement Obligations. Accordingly, Transferor and New Operator (as applicable, Indemnitor ) each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other (as applicable, Indemnitee ) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses or other charges incurred by, assessed against or paid by Indemnitee (the Claims ) with respect to the Reimbursement Obligations of Indemnitor. Each party agrees promptly after receipt thereof to provide the other party with any documentation received by it that it believes may give rise to a Claim under this Section (an Indemnity Notice ). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice, Indemnitor shall in good faith review the Claim and, if appropriate, Indemnitor shall, at its sole cost and expense, challenge, appeal or defend against the matter described in the Indemnity Notice within the applicable time periods required by law or agreement with the payor, and, in such event, no payment shall be due from Indemnitor to Indemnitec under this Section until the earlier to occur of (i) the full and final resolution of such claim on terms which require a payment by Indemnitor or Indemnitee or (ii) the recoupment from Indemnitee in whole or in part of the amount which is the subject of such Indemnity Notice, in which event payment shall be made within twenty (20) days following notice to Indemnitee of an event described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) hereof. If Indemnitor notifies Indemnitee in writing of its intention to challenge, appeal or defend any Claim, Indemnitor shall control such challenge, appeal or defense in its sole discretion and Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee for any fees of counsel or any other expenses with respect to the challenge, appeal or defense of such Claim following any such notify; provided , however , Indemnitor may not settle any such challenge, appeal or defense without the consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the sole relief provided is payment of the applicable Reimbursement Obligations (and then only to the extent that such Reimbursement Obligations relate to periods for which Indemnitor is responsible). If Indemnitor fails or elects not to challenge, appeal or defend the Claims described in the Indemnity Notice, Indemnitor shall indemnify Indemnitee against such Claims within twenty (20) days following the thirty (30) day period described above. In addition to the foregoing, Indemnitor agrees to cooperate with Indemnitee in responding to any Claim and, subject to applicable law (including, without limitation, HIPAA) to make available to Indemnitee such documents and records as Indemnitor determines may be necessary or desirable to defend any such Claims. All payments not made by Indemnitor to Indemnitee when due shall be subject to interest at the Prime Rate announced in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%) from the date due to the date paid in full. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 1.11 shall supersede and govern any other provisions of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement regarding the Reimbursement Obligations; provided , however , Transferors and New Operators obligations and liabilities under this Section 1.11 shall be subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 11.5 of the Purchase Agreement.
1.12 Post-Closing Billing . Following the Closing Date, New Operator shall cause the Hired Employees (a) to perform all tasks necessary to complete all bills for services provided during periods preceding the Closing Date and (b) to cooperate and provide reasonable assistance to Transferors Regional Accounts Manager to make final accounting entries for the
Facility for periods preceding the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, New Operator shall cause the Hired Employees to perform all tasks necessary to complete all bills for services provided prior to Closing Date, including performing the Triple Check process and related procedures required to ensure that all Medicare and Medicaid billings are comprehensive and accurate in accordance with CMS regulations and Transferors current practices.
1.13 Post-Closing Data Breach . From and after the Closing Date, New Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Transferor from and against any loss, claim or damage suffered or incurred by Transferor related to any noncompliance with any privacy or data security requirements applicable to any Facility Records (including, without limitation, HIPAA) or any breach of confidentiality with respect to or other misuse of any data or other information obtained by New Operator pursuant to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.
1.14 Surveys . Transferor represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, Plans of Correction have been submitted and approved (and are awaiting resurvey) for all outstanding compliance items identified on any state or federal surveys with respect to the Facility.

C. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Transferor and New Operator wish to provide for an orderly transition of the operations of the Facility from Transferor to New Operator as of the Closing Date.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual obligations of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Transferor will transfer to the New Operator all of Transferors right, title and interest, if any, in and to the following assets that are located at the Facility and that are held by it for use in connection with the operation of the Facility as of the Closing Date (collectively, the Transferred Assets ): the FF&E related to the Facility and all Facility Records, Resident Agreements, Resident Trust Funds and Intangible Property at the Facility.
1.2 Computer Data . On the Closing Date, Transferor shall cooperate with New Operator and leave the data pertaining exclusively to the employees and residents of the Facility on computer software contained on the computers located at the Facility and management companys Offices and provide New Operator with said data in an electronic format which is currently utilized by Transferor for downloading to New Operators computers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transferor shall have the right to replace the hard drives in any computers that are being acquired by New Operator with new hard drives within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date. In addition, New Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Transferor from and against any loss, claim or damage related to any improper disclosure of any such data in accordance with Section 1.13 .
1.3 Medicare and Medicaid Provider Agreements .
(a) At New Operators election, which election shall be exercised by notice given to Transferor on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and subject to the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, Transferors right, title and interest in and to the Medicare and Medicaid provider numbers and Medicare and Medicaid provider reimbursement agreements (individually the Provider Agreement and collectively the Provider Agreements ) shall be assigned to and assumed by New Operator on the Closing Date, provided that (i) such assignment and assumption shall be permissible under applicable law, (ii) if any payments are owing to Transferor on account of any services provided at the Facility prior to the Closing, Transferor shall retain the right to receive such payments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) if any payments are owing by Transferor to cure or satisfy any overpayments or defaults including but not limited to any refunds, repayments or unpaid civil money penalties due to the Medicare or Medicaid programs) under the Provider Agreements, Transferor shall remain liable for such payments.
(b) Subject to Section 1.11, Transferor shall indemnify and defend New Operator and hold it harmless against and with respect to any and all damage, loss, liability, deficiency, cost and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising out of the operation of the Facility by Transferor prior to the Closing Date, including but not limited to any overpayments made to Transferor under Transferors Provider Agreements or post-Closing Date rate adjustments related to the operation of the Facility prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Subject to Section 1.11, New Operator shall indemnify, and defend Transferor and hold it harmless against and with respect to any and all damage, loss, liability, deficiency, cost and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising out of the operation of the Facility by New Operator from and after the Closing Date, including but not limited to any overpayments made to New Operator under Transferors Provider Agreements or post-Closing Date rate adjustments related to the operation of the Facility from and after the Closing Date.
1.4 Excluded Liabilities . Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, New Operator shall not assume any claims, lawsuits, liabilities, obligations or debts of Transferor, whether statutory, regulatory, judicially created or constitutional, including without limitation: (a) malpractice or other tort claims, statutory or regulatory claims, claims of state or federal agencies whether civil or criminal, fraud-based claims or claims for breach of contract to the extent any such claims are based on acts or omissions of Transferor occurring on or before the Closing Date; (b) any accounts payable, taxes, or other obligation or liability of Transferor to pay money incurred by Transferor on or prior to the Closing Date; and (c) any other obligations or liabilities arising in whole or in part from Transferors acts or omissions prior to the Closing Date.
1.5 Transfer of Resident Trust Funds .
(a) On the Closing Date, Transferor shall deliver to New Operator a list that, to the best of its knowledge, will be a true, correct and complete description of any Resident Trust Funds held by Transferor as of the Closing Date for any resident of the Facility.
(b) On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Transferor shall transfer the Resident Trust Funds to New Operator and New Operator shall accept the Resident Trust Funds in trust for the residents, in accordance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Within ten (10) business days after the Closing Date, Transferor and New Operator will reconcile the Resident Trust Funds transferred from Transferor to New Operator.
(c) New Operator shall not have responsibility to the applicable resident/responsible party and regulatory authorities to the extent that the Resident Trust Funds delivered by Transferor to New Operator pursuant to this Section with respect to any resident are demonstrated to be less than the full amount of the Resident Trust Funds for such resident as of the Closing Date or for claims which arise from actions or omissions of Transferor with respect to the Resident Trust Funds prior to the Closing Date. Transferor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless New Operator from any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, causes of action, costs, expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees (collectively the Losses ) which New Operator may incur as a result of discrepancies between the Resident Trust Funds as delivered by Transferor to New Operator and the full amount of the Resident Trust Funds for such resident as of the Closing Date. Except for any discrepancies between the Resident Trust Funds as delivered by Transferor to New Operator and the full amount of the Resident Trust Funds for such resident as of the Closing Date, New Operator agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Transferor from any Losses which Transferor may incur as the result or arising from any action or inaction of New Operator in respect of the Resident Trust Funds from and after the Closing Date.
1.6 Employees . Prior to the Closing Date, Transferor will provide to New Operator a schedule (the Employee Schedule ) which reflects, in all material respects, the following as of the Closing Date: (i) the name of all Facility-based employees (the Facility Employees ) and (ii) their positions, rates of pay, original hire dates and full/part time status and whether they are on medical disability or leave of absence. Transferor will terminate the employment of each of the Facility Employees as of the Closing Date.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, New Operator shall offer to hire, on an at- will basis, all Facility Employees so that Transferor is not required to give notice to employees of any Facility of the closure thereof under the Worker Adjustment and Restraining Notification Act (the WARN Act ) or any other comparable state law. Facility Employees shall include, but not be limited to, any employees who are on medical disability or leaves of absence and who worked at the Facility immediately prior to such disability or leave who are able to perform the essential functions of the position with or without a reasonable accommodation, and who are qualified for the position. Any such offer of employment to a Facility Employee by New Operator shall be to perform comparable services upon comparable terms as such Facility Employee held with Transferor as of the Closing Date. Transferor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to employ or offer to employ any Facility Employee who declines New Operators offer of employment. On the Closing Date, and subject to applicable law, including, without limitation, HIPAA, Transferor shall provide New Operator with employee personnel files and governing policies and procedures as part of the Facility Records.
(b) New Operator shall hire at the Closing Date, on an at-will basis, each Facility Employee who elects to accept employment with New Operator in accordance with the terms of Section 1.6(a ) (all of such employees who accept employment with New Operator being
herein called the Hired Employees ). For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Transferor and its affiliates agrees to not solicit any of the Hired Employees for employment at any other facility or healthcare related company owned, operated or managed by Transferor and its affiliates. For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, New Operator and its affiliates agrees to not solicit any employees of Transferor or its affiliates currently employed at any other facility or healthcare related company owned, operated or managed by Transferor or its affiliates for any employment with New Operator or its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, general employment solicitations made pursuant to newspaper, television, radio or other general advertisement which are not specifically targeted at any particular person or group of persons shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 1.6(b ).
(c) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, Transferor shall pay to each Facility Employee, on that date which would have been the next regularly scheduled payroll date for such employee following the Closing Date, an amount equal to any and all accrued salary earned by such employee as of (but not including) the Closing Date. Transferor shall also pay to each Facility Employee, in accordance with the requirements of all applicable law, any and all vested paid time off earned by, and payable to, each Facility Employee as of (but not including) the Closing Date and provide to New Operator a schedule of such amounts to be paid by Transferor.
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall create any rights in favor of any person not a party hereto, including the Facility Employees, or constitute an employment agreement or condition of employment for any employee of Transferor or any affiliate of Transferor.
(e) Transferor shall make available group health plan continuation coverage pursuant to the requirements of Section 601, et seq. of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended ( COBRA ), to all of the Facility Employees to whom it is required to offer the same under applicable law. Transferor acknowledges and agrees that New Operator is not assuming any of Transferors obligations to its employees and/or qualified beneficiaries under COBRA or otherwise, except as specifically provided in this Section 1.6 . As of the Closing Date, all active Facility Employees: (i) who participate as of the Closing Date in group health coverage sponsored by Transferor (a summary of which group health plan shall be provided to New Operator) and (ii) who become Hired Employees, shall be eligible for participation in a group health plan (as defined for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 4980B) if established and maintained by New Operator for the general benefit of its employees and their dependents, and all such Hired Employees shall, if permissible under the plan of New Operator, be covered without a waiting period and without regard to any pre-existing condition unless (x) they are under a waiting period with Transferor at the Closing Date, in which case they shall be required to complete their waiting period while under New Operators group health plan or in accordance with the terms of New Operators benefit plan or (y) they were subject to a pre-existing condition exclusion while under Transferors group-health plan, in which case they shall be subject to the same exclusion while in New Operators group health plan or in accordance with the terms of New Operators benefit plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Operator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers of any applicable waiting period or pre-existing condition exclusions.
(f) New Operator and Transferor agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party from any Losses which such party may incur under the WARN Act or any comparable state law in the event of the violation by the other party of its obligations under
Sections 1.6(a ), (b ) and (c) ; provided , however , that nothing herein shall he construed as imposing any obligations on New Operator to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Transferor from any Losses that it may incur under the WARN Act as a result of the acts or omissions of Transferor prior to the Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that New Operator shall only be liable for its own acts and omissions from and after the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any failure by New Operator to comply with its obligations under Section 1.6(b )).
1.7 Accounts Receivable .
(a) Transferor shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all unpaid accounts receivable with respect to the Facility that relate to all periods prior to the Closing Date.
(b) Payments received by Transferor or New Operator after the Closing Date with respect to the Facility from third party payors, such as the Medicare Program, the Medicaid Program, the Veterans Administration, or managed care companies or health maintenance organizations, shall be handled as follows:
(i) if the accompanying remittance advice indicates, or if the parties otherwise agree, that the payments relate solely to services provided prior to the Closing Date, (A) in the event that such payments are received by New Operator, New Operator shall promptly remit such payments to Transferor not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received, and until so forwarded, New Operator shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Transferor and (B) in the event that such payments are received by Transferor, Transferor shall retain such payments;
(ii) if the accompanying remittance advice indicates, or if the parties otherwise agree, that the payments relate solely to services provided after the Closing Date, (A) in the event that such payments are received by New Operator, New Operator shall retain the payments and (B) in the event that such payments are received by Transferor, Transferor shall promptly remit such payments to New Operator not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received, and until so forwarded, Transferor shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of New Operator;
(iii) if the accompanying remittance advice indicates, or if the parties otherwise agree, that the payments relate to services provided both prior to and after the Closing Date, (A) in the event that such payments are received by New Operator, New Operator shall promptly following receipt of such payment (but in any event, not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received) forward to Transferor the amount of such payment relating to services provided prior to the Closing Date, and until so forwarded, New Operator shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Transferor, and (B) in the event that such payments are received by Transferor, Transferor shall promptly following receipt of such payment (but in any event, not later than ten (10) days after such payment is received) forward to New Operator the amount of such payment relating to services provided from and after the Closing Date and until so forwarded, Transferor shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of New Operator; and
(iv) if the accompanying remittance advice does not indicate the period to which a payment relates or if there is no accompanying remittance advice and if the parties do not otherwise agree as to how to apply such payment, then, any such payments received during the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against the oldest
outstanding accounts receivable due from such payor and any such payments received following the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against accounts receivable related to periods following the Closing Date.
(c) Transferor and New Operator recognize that Transferor receives periodic interim payments ( PIP Payments ) under the Medicare Program with respect to goods and services provided to the residents of the Facility prior to the Closing Date and that the remittance advice for the PIP Payments does not indicate the period to which such payments relate. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.7(b) to the contrary, Transferor and New Operator agree that the first two (2) PIP Payments received for the Facility from and after the Closing Date shall be paid to Transferor and all subsequent PIP Payments received for each Facility shall be paid to New Operator.
(d) Any payments received by Transferor or New Operator from or on behalf of private pay patients with outstanding balances as of the Closing Date will be applied as designated on the accompanying remittance advice. If the period(s) for which such payments are made is not indicated on the accompanying remittance advice, and the parties are unable to agree as to the periods to which such payments relate, then, any such payments received during the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against the oldest outstanding account receivable due from such payor and any such payments received following the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against accounts receivable related to periods following the Closing Date.
(e) New Operator and Transferor shall forward to the other party via email or facsimile any and all remittance advices, explanation of benefits, denial of payment notices and all other correspondence received by the party that relate to services provided by the other party. The documents shall be forwarded within twenty-four (24) hours following receipt in accordance with the notice provisions contained herein.
(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit in any way Transferors rights and remedies to recover accounts receivable due and owing in respect of services rendered at the Facility prior to the Closing Date.
(g) If the parties mutually determine that any payment hereunder was misapplied by the parties, the party which erroneously received said payment shall remit the same to the other within ten (10) days after said determination is made.
(h) For a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days after the Closing Date, New Operator and Transferor shall, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours and subject to all applicable laws, including, without limitation, HIPAA, have the right to inspect all receipts and other books and records of the other respective party in order to confirm the other partys compliance with the obligations imposed on it under this Section.
(i) if either party fails to forward to the other party any payment received by such party in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.7 , the other party shall be entitled (among all other remedies allowed by law and this Agreement) to interest on the amount owed at the rate of 12% per annum, simple interest, until such payment has been paid. The payment of any interest imposed under this Section 1.7(i) , if any, shall be made together with the underlying payment therefore.
(j) In accordance with Section 1.8 , any payments received by the Transferor from residents prior to the Closing Date with respect to goods and services to be provided at the Facility during any period from and after the Closing Date shall be transferred by Transferor to the New Operator on the Closing Date.
1.8 Prorations .
(a) Subject to the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, utility charges for the billing period in which the Closing Date occurs, real and personal property taxes attributable to the Facility, and any other items of revenue or expense attributable to the Facility (the Prorated Items ) shall be prorated between Transferor and New Operator as of the Closing Date, such that all items of income and expense accruing on the Closing Date shall be for the account of New Operator. In general, such prorations shall be made so as to reimburse Transferor for prepaid expense to the extent such expense is attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date and to charge Transferor for expenses accrued but unpaid as of the Closing Date. The intent of this provision shall be implemented by New Operator remitting to Transferor any invoices for Prorated Items that reflect a service date before the Closing Date and by New Operator assuming responsibility for the payment of any invoices for Prorated Items that reflect a service date after the Closing Date with any overage or shortage in payments by either party to be adjusted and paid as provided in Sections 1.8(b) and (c) . Transferor agrees to assist in the orderly transfer of utilities, phone systems, alarm systems, and any other specialized equipment requiring dedicated lines and to provide to New Operator contact information for all requested services.
(b) All such prorations shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed in the relevant accounting, billing or revenue period and shall be based on the most recent information available to Transferor. Utility charges which are not metered and read as of the Closing Date shall be estimated based on prior charges, and shall be re-prorated upon receipt of statements therefor.
(c) To the extent possible and based on reasonable estimates, the parties shall make all prorations on the Closing Date. All amounts owing from one party hereto to the other party hereto that require adjustment after the Closing Date shall be settled within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date or, in the event the information necessary for such adjustment is not available within said thirty (30) day period, then as soon thereafter as practicable; provided, however, that all such adjustments shall be made within one (1) year after the Closing Date.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, New Operator shall transfer to Transferor an amount equal to any petty cash remaining at the Facility on the Closing Date.
1.9 Access to Records .
(a) On the Closing Date, Transferor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, HIPAA, allow all of the Facility Records that are in Transferors possession or control to remain at the Facility or if requested by New Operator, to the extent such records are in an electronic format, provide such information directly to New Operator for downloading by New Operator on its computer system.
(b) Subsequent to the Closing Date, New Operator shall allow Transferor and its agents and representatives to have reasonable access to (upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours), and to make copies of, at Transferors expense, the books and records and supporting material of the Facility relating to any period prior to the Closing Date, to the extent reasonably requested by Transferor, which access shall not unreasonably disrupt New Operators operations.
(c) Transferor shall be entitled to remove the originals of any records delivered to New Operator, for purposes of litigation involving a resident or employee to whom such record relates, if an officer of a court of competent jurisdiction or agency official certifies that such original must be produced in order to comply with applicable law or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with such litigation and Transferor shall provide New Operator with a complete copy of such records prior to its removal at Transferors reasonable cost and expense and as a condition precedent to receiving such original record. Any record so removed shall promptly be returned to New Operator following its use.
(d) New Operator agrees to maintain the Facility Records that have been received by New Operator from Transferor or otherwise, including, but not limited to, resident records and records of resident funds, to the extent required by law, but in no event for less than seven (7) years, and thereafter shall allow Transferor a reasonable opportunity to remove such documents, at Transferors expense, in the event that New Operator shall decide to dispose of such documents. Prior to disposing of any Facility Records, New Operator shall give Transferor written notice of New Operators intention to dispose of such records, and Transferor may, within a period of sixty (60) calendar days from the receipt of any such notice, notify New Operator of its desire to retain any such records. Upon the receipt of such notice, New Operator shall deliver to Transferor, at Transferors sole cost and expense, any records which Transferor so elects to retain.
1.10 Cost Reports . Transferor shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate Medicare and Medicaid agencies any final cost reports with respect to its operation of the Facility which are required to be filed by law under the terms of the Medicare and Medicaid Programs. New Operator acknowledges that Medicare Part A coinsurance receivables from dates of service prior to the Closing Date exist and agrees that to the extent the information is provided to the New Operator so that it may accurately reflect the information in the filing to (i) report any uncollectible amounts (i.e., Medicare Bad Debts) from the Transferors dates of service on its initial Medicare cost report and any subsequent cost reports if needed and (ii) if the New Operator receives payment on the Medicare Part A Bad Debts that are from the Transferors dates of service, the New Operator will reimburse the Transferor for these amounts at such time as the Transferor provides a schedule of the Medicare Bad Debts and supporting documentation to the New Operator.
1.11 Recoupments . Transferor acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Section 1.12 , it shall be responsible for all Medicare and Medicaid billing and cost reports filed with Medicare and Medicaid with respect to the Facility prior to the Closing Date, and New Operator acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for all Medicare and Medicaid billing and cost reports filed with Medicare and Medicaid with respect to the Facility from and after the Closing Date. Accordingly, in the event it is determined by Medicare or Medicaid that as a result of an audit or a denial of a claim (a) Transferor has been overpaid during the pre-Closing Date period or has otherwise received payment(s) for goods or services provided at the Facility
prior to the Closing Date to which it was not entitled for any reason under applicable Medicare or Medicaid rules and regulations or (b) New Operator has been overpaid during the period from and after the Closing Date or has otherwise received payment(s) for goods or services provided at the Facility from and after the Closing Date to which it was not entitled for any reason under applicable Medicare or Medicaid rules and regulations (collectively, each partys Reimbursement Obligations ), each party is and shall be responsible for its Reimbursement Obligations. Accordingly, Transferor and New Operator (as applicable, Indemnitor ) each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other (as applicable, Indemnitee ) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses or other charges incurred by, assessed against or paid by Indemnitee (the Claims ) with respect to the Reimbursement Obligations of Indemnitor. Each party agrees promptly after receipt thereof to provide the other party with any documentation received by it that it believes may give rise to a Claim under this Section (an Indemnity Notice ). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice, Indemnitor shall in good faith review the Claim and, if appropriate, Indemnitor shall, at its sole cost and expense, challenge, appeal or defend against the matter described in the Indemnity Notice within the applicable time periods required by law or agreement with the payor, and, in such event, no payment shall be due from Indemnitor to Indemnitee under this Section until the earlier to occur of (i) the full and final resolution of such claim on terms which require a payment by Indemnitor or Indemnitee or (ii) the recoupment from Indemnitee in whole or in part of the amount which is the subject of such indemnity Notice, in which event payment shall be made within twenty (20) days following notice to Indemnitee of an event described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) hereof. If Indemnitor notifies Indemnitee in writing of its intention to challenge, appeal or defend any Claim, Indemnitor shall control such challenge, appeal or defense in its sole discretion and Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee for any fees of counsel or any other expenses with respect to the challenge, appeal or defense of such Claim following any such notify; provided , however , Indemnitor may not settle any such challenge, appeal or defense without the consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the sole relief provided is payment of the applicable Reimbursement Obligations (and then only to the extent that such Reimbursement Obligations relate to periods for which Indemnitor is responsible). If Indemnitor fails or elects not to challenge, appeal or defend the Claims described in the Indemnity Notice, Indemnitor shall indemnify Indemnitee against such Claims within twenty (20) days following the thirty (30) day period described above. In addition to the foregoing, Indemnitor agrees to cooperate with Indemnitee in responding to any Claim and, subject to applicable law (including, without limitation, HIPAA) to make available to Indemnitee such documents and records as Indemnitor determines may be necessary or desirable to defend any such Claims. All payments not made by Indemnitor to Indemnitee when due shall be subject to interest at the Prime Rate announced in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%) from the date due to the date paid in full. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 1.11 shall supercede and govern any other provisions of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement regarding the Reimbursement Obligations; provided, however, Transferors and New Operators obligations and liabilities under this Section 1.11 shall be subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 11.5 of the Purchase Agreement.
1.12 Post-Closing Billing . Following the Closing Date, New Operator shall cause the Hired Employees (a) to perform all tasks necessary to complete all bills for services provided during periods preceding the Closing Date and (b) to cooperate and provide reasonable assistance to Transferors Regional Accounts Manager to make final accounting entries for the
Facility for periods preceding the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, New Operator shall cause the Hired Employees to perform all tasks necessary to complete all bills for services provided prior to Closing Date, including performing the Triple Check process and related procedures required to ensure that all Medicare and Medicaid billings are comprehensive and accurate in accordance with CMS regulations and Transferors current practices.
1.13 Post-Closing Data Breach . From and after the Closing Date, New Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Transferor from and against any loss, claim or damage suffered or incurred by Transferor related to any noncompliance with any privacy or data security requirements applicable to any Facility Records (including, without limitation, HIPAA) or any breach of confidentiality with respect to or other misuse of any data or other information obtained by New Operator pursuant to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.
1.14 Surveys . Transferor represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, Plans of Correction have been submitted and approved (and are awaiting resurvey) for all outstanding compliance items identified on any state or federal surveys with respect to the Facility.
1.15 Operating Procedures Manuals . Transferor agrees to leave one set of their operating procedures manuals at the Facility, to be retained by New Operator for historical reference purposes only (and not for ongoing operations purposes). Transferor does not assign, license, or otherwise transfer (and Transferor hereby expressly reserves) any copyright or intellectual property rights regarding Transferors manual or procedures to New Operator.

CONTINUING GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. For good and valuable consideration, Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees full and punctual payment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness of Borrower, or any one or more of them, to Lender, and the performance and discharge of all Borrowers obligations under the Note and the Related Documents. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, so Lender can enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even when Lender has not exhausted Lenders remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Indebtedness, this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Indebtedness. Guarantor will make any payments to Lender or its order, on demand, in legal tender of the United States of America, in same-day funds, without set-off or deduction or counterclaim, and will otherwise perform Borrowers obligations under the Note and Related Documents. Under this Guaranty, Guarantors liability is unlimited and Guarantors obligations are continuing.
INDEBTEDNESS. The word Indebtedness as used in this Guaranty means all of the principal amount outstanding from time to time and at any one or more times, accrued unpaid interest thereon and all collection costs and legal expenses related thereto permitted by law, attorneys fees, arising from any and all debts, liabilities and obligations of every nature or form, now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, that Borrower individually or collectively or Interchangeably with others, owes or will owe Lender. Indebtedness includes, without limitation, loans, advances, debts, overdraft Indebtedness, credit card Indebtedness, lease obligations, liabilities and obligations under any interest rate protection agreements or foreign currency exchange agreements or commodity price protection agreements, other obligations, and liabilities of Borrower, or any one or more of them, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, or any one or more of them, future advances, loans or transactions that renew, extend, modify, refinance, consolidate or substitute these debts, liabilities and obligations whether: voluntarily or Involuntarily Incurred: due or to become due by their terms or acceleration; absolute or contingent; liquidated or unliquidated; determined or undetermined; direct or indirect; primary or secondary in nature or arising from a guaranty or surety; secured or unsecured; joint or several or joint and several; evidenced by a negotiable or non-negotiable Instrument or writing; originated by Lender or another or others; barred or unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever; for any transactions that may be voidable for any reason (such as infancy, insanity, ultra vires or otherwise); and originated then reduced or extinguished and then afterwards increased or reinstated.
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives additional guaranties from Guarantor, Lenders rights under all guaranties shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall not (unless specifically provided below to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other guaranties. Guarantors liability will be Guarantors aggregate liability under the terms of this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.
CONTINUING GUARANTY. THIS IS A CONTINUING GUARANTY UNDER WHICH GUARANTOR AGREES TO GUARANTEE THE FULL AND PUNCTUAL PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OF BORROWER, OR ANY ONE OR MORE OF THEM, TO LENDER, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING OR ACQUIRED, ON AN OPEN AND CONTINUING BASIS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY PAYMENTS MADE ON THE INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH GUARANTORS OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY FOR ANY REMAINING AND SUCCEEDING INDEBTEDNESS EVEN WHEN ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS MAY BE A ZERO BALANCE FROM TIME TO TIME.
DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all the Indebtedness incurred or contracted before receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all of Guarantors other obligations under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantors written notice of revocation must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Lenders address listed above or such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Written revocation of this Guaranty will apply only to new Indebtedness created after actual receipt by Lender of Guarantors written revocation. For this purpose and without limitation, the term new Indebtedness does not Include the Indebtedness which at the time of notice of revocation is contingent, unliquidated, undetermined or not due and which later becomes absolute, liquidated, determined or due. For this purpose and without limitation, new Indebtedness does not include all or part of the Indebtedness that is: incurred by Borrower prior to revocation; incurred under a commitment that became binding before revocation; any renewals, extensions, substitutions, and modifications of the Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantors estate as to the indebtedness created both before and after Guarantors death or incapacity, regardless of Lenders actual notice of Guarantors death. Subject to the foregoing, Guarantors executor or administrator or other legal representative may terminate this Guaranty in the same manner In which Guarantor might have terminated it and with the same effect. Release of any other guarantor or termination of any other guaranty of the Indebtedness shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from any one or more Guarantors shall not affect the liability of any remaining Guarantors under this Guaranty. It is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that reductions in the amount of the Indebtedness, even to zero dollars ($0.00), shall not constitute a termination of this Guaranty, This Guaranty i s binding upon Guarantor and Guarantors heirs, successors and assigns so long as any of the Indebtedness remains unpaid and even though the Indebtedness may from time to time be zero dollars ($0.00).
OBLIGATIONS OF MARRIED PERSONS. Any married person who signs this Guaranty hereby expressly agrees that recourse under this Guaranty may be had against both his or her separate property and community property.
GUARANTORS AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER. Guarantor authorizes Lender, either before or after any revocation hereof, without notice or demand and without lessening Guarantors liability under this Guaranty, from time to time: (A) prior to revocation as set forth above, to make one or more additional secured or unsecured loans to Borrower, to lease equipment or other goods to Borrower, or otherwise to extend additional credit to Borrower; (B) to alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other terms of the Indebtedness or any part of the Indebtedness.

CONTINUING GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. For good and valuable consideration, Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees full and punctual payment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness of Borrower, or any one or more of them, to Lender, and the performance and discharge of all Borrowers obligations under the Note and the Related Documents. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, so Lender can enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even when Lender has not exhausted Lenders remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Indebtedness, this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Indebtedness. Guarantor will make any payments to Lender or its order, on demand, in legal tender of the United States of America, in same-day funds, without set-off or deduction or counterclaim, and will otherwise perform Borrowers obligations under the Note and Related Documents. Under this Guaranty, Guarantors liability is unlimited and Guarantors obligations are continuing.
INDEBTEDNESS. The word Indebtedness as used in this Guaranty means all of the principal amount outstanding from time to time and at any one or more times, accrued unpaid interest thereon and all collection coats and legal expenses related thereto permitted by law, attorneys fees, arising from any and all debts, liabilities and obligations of every nature or form, now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, that Borrower individually or collectively or interchangeably with others, owes or will owe Lender. Indebtedness includes, without limitation, loans, advances, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credit card indebtedness, lease obligations, liabilities and obligations under any interest rate protection agreements or foreign currency exchange agreements or commodity price protection agreements, other obligations, and liabilities of Borrower, or any one or more of them, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, or any one or more of them, future advances, loans or transactions that renew, extend, modify, refinance, consolidate or substitute these debts, liabilities and obligations whether: voluntarily or involuntarily incurred; due or to become due by their terms or acceleration; absolute or contingent; liquidated or unliquidated; determined or undetermined; direct or indirect; primary or secondary in nature or arising from a guaranty or surety; secured or unsecured; Joint or several or Joint and several; evidenced by a negotiable or non-negotiable instrument or writing; originated by Lender or another or others; barred or unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever; for any transactions that may be voidable for any reason (such as infancy, insanity, ultra vires or otherwise); and originated then reduced or extinguished and then afterwards increased or reinstated.
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives additional guaranties from Guarantor, Lenders rights under all guaranties shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall not (unless specifically provided below to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other guaranties. Guarantors liability will be Guarantors aggregate liability under the terms of this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.
CONTINUING GUARANTY. THIS IS A CONTINUING GUARANTY UNDER WHICH GUARANTOR AGREES TO GUARANTEE THE FULL AND PUNCTUAL PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OF BORROWER, OR ANY ONE OR MORE OF THEM, TO LENDER, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING OR ACQUIRED, ON AN OPEN AND CONTINUING BASIS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY PAYMENTS MADE ON THE INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH GUARANTORS OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY FOR ANY REMAINING AND SUCCEEDING INDEBTEDNESS EVEN WHEN ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS MAY BE A ZERO BALANCE FROM TIME TO TIME.
DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all the indebtedness incurred or contracted before receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all of Guarantors other obligations under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantors written notice of revocation must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Lenders address listed above or such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Written revocation of this Guaranty will apply only to new indebtedness created after actual receipt by Lender of Guarantors written revocation. For this purpose and without limitation, the term new indebtedness does not include the indebtedness which at the time of notice of revocation is contingent, unliquidated, undetermined or not due and which later becomes absolute, liquidated, determined or due, For this purpose and without limitation, new indebtedness does not include all or part of the indebtedness that is: incurred by Borrower prior to revocation; incurred under a commitment that became binding before revocation; any renewals, extensions, substitutions, and modifications of the indebtedness. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantors estate as to the indebtedness created both before and after Guarantors death or incapacity, regardless of Lenders actual notice of Guarantors death. Subject to the foregoing. Guarantors executor or administrator or other legal representative may terminate this Guaranty in the same manner in which Guarantor might have terminated it and with the same effect. Release of any other guarantor or termination of any other guaranty of the indebtedness shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from any one or more Guarantors shall not affect the liability of any remaining Guarantors under this Guaranty. It is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of the indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that reductions in the amount of the indebtedness, even to zero dollars ($0.00), shall not constitute a termination of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and Guarantors heirs, successors and assigns so long as any of the indebtedness remains unpaid and even though the indebtedness may from time to time be zero dollars ($0.00).
OBLIGATIONS OF MARRIED PERSONS. Any married person who signs this Guaranty hereby expressly agrees that recourse under this Guaranty may be had against both his or her separate property and community property.
GUARANTORS AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER. Guarantor authorizes Lender, either before or after any revocation hereof, without notice or demand and without lessening Guarantors liability under this Guaranty, from time to time: (A) prior to revocation as set forth above, to make one or more additional secured or unsecured loans to Borrower, to lease equipment or other goods to Borrower, or otherwise to extend additional credit to Borrower, (B) to alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other terms of the indebtedness or any part of the indebtedness, including increases and decreases of the rate of interest on the indebtedness; extensions may be repeated and may be for longer than the original loan term; (C) to take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or decide not to perfect, and release any such security, with or without the substitution of new collateral; (D) to release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal with any one or more of Borrowers sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on any terms or in any manner Lender may choose; (E) to determine how, when and what application of

GUARANTORS WAIVERS. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Guarantor waives any right to require Lender (A) to continue lending money or to extend other credit to Borrower; (B) to make any presentment, protest, demand, or notice of any kind, including notice of any nonpayment of the Indebtedness or of any nonpayment related to any collateral, or notice of any action or nonaction on the part of Borrower, Lender, any surety, endorser, or other guarantor in connection with the Indebtedness or in connection with the creation of new or additional loans or obligations; (C) to resort for payment or to proceed directly or at once against any person, including Borrower or any other guarantor; (D) to proceed directly against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender from Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person; (E) to give notice of the terms, time, and place of any public or private sale of personal property security held by Lender from Borrower or to comply with any other applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code; (F) to pursue any other remedy within Lenders power; or (G) to commit any act or omission of any kind, or at any time, with respect to any matter whatsoever.
Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral including, but not limited to, any rights or defenses arising by reason of (A) any one action or anti-deficiency law or any other law which may prevent Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Guarantor, before or after Lenders commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (B) any election of remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise adversely affects Guarantors subrogation rights or Guarantors rights to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the Indebtedness; (C) any disability or other defense of Borrower, of any other guarantor, or of any other person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrowers liability from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full in legal tender, of the Indebtedness; (D) any right to claim discharge of the indebtedness on the basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for the Indebtedness; (E) any statute of limitations, if at any time any action or suit brought by Lender against Guarantor is commenced, there is outstanding Indebtedness which is not barred by any applicable statute of limitations; or (F) any defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Indebtedness. If payment is made by Borrower, whether voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third party, on the Indebtedness and thereafter Lender is forced to remit the amount of that payment to Borrowers trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any federal or state bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, the Indebtedness shall be considered unpaid for the purpose of the enforcement of this Guaranty.
Guarantor further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any deductions to the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim of setoff, counterclaim, counter demand, recoupment or similar right, whether such claim, demand or right may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.
GUARANTORS UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantors full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public, policy.
SUBORDINATION OF BORROWERS DEBTS TO GUARANTOR. Guarantor agrees that the Indebtedness, whether now existing or hereafter created, shall be superior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may have against Borrower, upon any account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may now or hereafter have against Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent liquidation of the assets of Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the payment of the claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to the Indebtedness. Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which it may have or acquire against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower; provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the Indebtedness. If Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing any debts or obligations of
Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender. Guarantor agrees, and Lender is hereby authorized, in the name of Guarantor, from time to time to file financing statements and continuation statements and to execute documents and to take such other actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its rights under this Guaranty.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Guaranty:
Amendments. This Guaranty, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Guaranty. No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.
Attorneys Fees; Expenses. Guarantor agrees to pay upon demand all of Lenders costs and expenses, including Lenders attorneys fees and Lenders legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this Guaranty, and Guarantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lenders attorneys fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Guarantor also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.
Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Guaranty are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Guaranty.
Governing Law. This Guaranty will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of New Mexico without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
Integration. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor has read and fully understands the terms of this Guaranty; Guarantor has had the opportunity to be advised by Guarantors attorney with respect to this Guaranty; the Guaranty fully reflects Guarantors intentions and parol evidence is not required to interpret the terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from all losses, claims, damages, and costs (including Lenders attorneys fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of any breach by Guarantor of the warranties, representations and agreements of this paragraph.
Interpretation. In all cases where there is more than one Borrower or Guarantor, then all words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural where the context and construction so require; and where there is more than one Borrower named in this Guaranty or when this Guaranty is executed by more than one Guarantor, the words Borrower and Guarantor respectively shall mean all and any one or more of them. The words Guarantor, Borrower, and Lender include the heirs, successors, assigns, and transferees of each of them. If a court finds that any provision of this Guaranty is not valid or should not be enforced, that fact by itself will not mean that the rest of this Guaranty will not be valid or enforced. Therefore, a court will enforce the rest of the provisions of this Guaranty even if a provision of this Guaranty may be found to be invalid or unenforceable. If any one or more of Borrower or Guarantor are corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, or similar entities, it is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or Guarantor or of the officers, directors, partners, managers, or other agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under this Guaranty.
Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Guaranty shall be given in writing, and, except for revocation notices by Guarantor, shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Guaranty. All revocation notices by Guarantor shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery to Lender as provided in the section of this Guaranty entitled DURATION OF GUARANTY. Any party may change its address for notices under this Guaranty by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the partys address. For notice purposes, Guarantor agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Guarantors current address. Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one Guarantor, any notice given by Lender to any Guarantor is deemed to be notice given to all Guarantors.
No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Guaranty unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Guaranty shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lenders right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Guaranty. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Guarantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lenders rights or of any of Guarantors obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Guaranty, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
Successors and Assigns. Subject to any limitations stated in this Guaranty on transfer of Guarantors interest, this Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
