A. PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY
A.1 Taxes and Governmental Claims and Other Liens . Mortgagor agrees to pay or cause to be paid, prior to the date they would become delinquent if not paid, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges whatsoever levied upon or assessed or charged against the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, all water and sewer taxes, assessments and other charges, taxes, impositions and rents, if any. Mortgagor shall give to Mortgagee a receipt or receipts, or certified copies thereof, evidencing every such payment by Mortgagor, not later than forty-five (45) days after such payment is made but not later than forty-five (45) days after such payment would become delinquent if not paid. Mortgagor also agrees to promptly and faithfully pay, satisfy, and obtain the release of all other claims, liens, encumbrances, and contracts, affecting or purporting to affect the title to, or which may be or appear to be liens on, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and all costs, charges, interest and penalties on account thereof, including, without limitation, the claims of all persons supplying labor or
materials to the Mortgaged Property and to give Mortgagee, upon demand, evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee of the payment, satisfaction or release thereof.
A.2 Insurance . Mortgagor agrees to keep the Mortgaged Property insured against loss or damage by fire and other casualty with extended coverage and against any other risks or hazards which in the opinion of Mortgagee 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, with the minimum amount of said insurance to be no less than the amount of the Note. Mortgagor shall also carry insurance against the risk of rental or business interruption at the Premises, in an amount deemed satisfactory by Mortgagee. 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 Mortgagee. Loss under all such insurance shall be payable to Mortgagee in accordance with this paragraph, and all such insurance policies shall be endorsed with a standard, non-contributory Mortgagees clause in favor of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall also carry public liability insurance, in such form, amount and with such companies as Mortgagee may from time to time require, naming Mortgagee 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 Mortgagee. All such insurance policies shall contain a provision requiring at least ten (10) days notice to Mortgagee prior to any cancellation or modification. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee satisfactory evidence of renewal of all such policies with premiums paid at least thirty (30) days before expiration. Mortgagor 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 Mortgaged Property which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance thereon. Mortgagee 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 or absence of insurance contracts, solvency of insurers, or payment of losses, and Mortgagor hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, thereunder. Effective upon any default hereunder, all of Mortgagors right, title and interest in and to all such policies and any unearned premiums paid thereon are hereby assigned to Mortgagee, which shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assign the same to any purchaser of the Mortgaged Property at any foreclosure sale or other disposition thereof. The requirements of Mortgagee for insurance under the provisions of this paragraph may be modified or amended in whole or in part by Mortgagee, in its reasonable discretion, and Mortgagor agrees, upon any expiration of any existing policy or policies of insurance, to provide a replacement policy or policies which shall meet such amended or modified insurance standards. In the event of a loss, Mortgagor shall give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact for the purposes hereinafter set out, and authorizes and empowers Mortgagee, at Mortgagees option and in Mortgagees sole discretion as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor, 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 Mortgagees expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Mortgagor understands and agrees that the power of attorney hereby granted to Mortgagee is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until Mortgagees interest hereunder is terminated by the payment and performance of all of Mortgagors obligations and indebtedness secured hereby. In the event of any insured damage to or destruction of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof (herein called an Insured Casualty), if (A) in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, the Mortgaged Property can be restored within ten (10) months after insurance proceeds are made available to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was prior to the Insured Casualty, and after such restoration will adequately secure the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness, and (B) no Event of Default (hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the proceeds of insurance may, in Mortgagees sole discretion, be applied to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Mortgaged Property or part thereof subject to Insured Casualty, as provided below; and Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees forthwith to commence and diligently to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided, however, in any event Mortgagor shall pay all costs (and if required by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deposit the total thereof with Mortgagee in advance) of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding in excess of the net proceeds of insurance made available pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the above, the proceeds of insurance collected upon any Insured Casualty shall, at the option of Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due, or applied to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Mortgaged Property or part thereof subject to the Insured Casualty, in the manner set forth below. Any such application to the Indebtedness shall not be considered a voluntary prepayment requiring payment of the prepayment consideration provided in the Note, and shall not reduce or postpone any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note, other than the final payment on the Note. If proceeds of insurance, if any, are made available to Mortgagor for the restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor hereby convenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law and plans and specifications approved in advance by Mortgagee. If Mortgagor is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance proceeds held by Mortgagee, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Mortgagee being furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it (which evidence may include inspection[s] of the work performed) that the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding covered by the disbursement has been completed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Mortgagee, (2) evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, (3) funds, or, at Mortgagees option, assurances satisfactory to Mortgagee that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance to complete the proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (4) such architects certificates, waivers of lien, contractors sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Mortgagee may reasonably require and approve; and Mortgagee may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and approved by Mortgagee prior to commencement of work. With respect to disbursements to be made by Mortgagee: (A) no payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time: (B) funds other than proceeds of insurance shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and (C) at all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Mortgagee, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Mortgagee by or on behalf of Mortgagor for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable
judgment of Mortgagee to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien and the costs. Any surplus which may remain out of insurance proceeds held by Mortgagee after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to any party entitled thereto. In no event shall Mortgagee assume any duty or obligation for the adequacy, form or content of any such plans and specifications, nor for the performance, quality or workmanship of any restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the proceeds of insurance reimbursed to Mortgagor in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall be reduced by the reasonable costs (if any) incurred by Mortgagee in the adjustment and collection thereof and in the reasonable costs incurred by Mortgagee of paying out such proceeds (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs paid to third parties for inspecting the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding and reviewing the plans and specifications therefor). If the insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the sums secured by this Mortgage, any such application of proceeds to principal shall be in such order as Mortgagee may determine and, if after so applying such insurance proceeds Mortgagee reasonably determines the remaining security to be inadequate to secure the remaining indebtedness, Mortgagor shall upon written demand from Mortgagee prepay on principal such an amount as will reduce the remaining indebtedness to a balance for which adequate security is present.
A.3 Condemnation and Other Awards . If the Mortgaged Property 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 Mortgagor by virtue of its interest in the Mortgaged Property shall be, and by these presents is, assigned, transferred and set over unto, and to be held by Mortgagee subject to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, and disbursed at Mortgagees option, (a) to hold all or any portion of such proceeds to be used to reimburse Mortgagor for the costs of reconstruction or repair of the Mortgaged Property, or (b) to apply all or any portion of such proceeds to the payment of the sums secured by this Mortgage, whether or not then due. In the event of a taking of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (herein called a Condemnation), if (A) in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, the Mortgaged Property can be restored within ten (10) months after the proceeds of the condemnation proceeds are made available to an economic unit not less valuable (including an assessment by Mortgagee of the impact of the termination of any Leases due to such Condemnation) and not less useful than the same was prior to the Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness, and (B) no Event of Default (hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the proceeds may, in Mortgagees sole discretion, be applied to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Mortgaged Property or part thereof subject to the Condemnation, as provided below; and Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees forthwith to commence and diligently to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided, however, in any event Mortgagor shall pay all costs (and if required by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deposit the total thereof with Mortgagee in advance) of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding in excess of the net proceeds of the Condemnation made available pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the above, the proceeds collected upon any Condemnation shall, at the option of Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment
of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due, or applied to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Mortgaged Property or part thereof subject to the Condemnation, in the manner set forth below. Any such application to the Indebtedness shall not be considered a voluntary prepayment requiring payment of the prepayment consideration provided in the Note, and shall not reduce or postpone any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note, other than the final payment on the Note. If proceeds of the Condemnation, if any, are made available to Mortgagor for the restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor hereby covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law and plans and specifications approved in advance by Mortgagee. If Mortgagor is entitled to reimbursement out of the proceeds of the Condemnation held by Mortgagee, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Mortgagee being furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it (which evidence may include inspection[s] of the work performed) that the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding covered by the disbursement has been completed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Mortgagee, (2) evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, (3) funds, or, at Mortgagees option, assurances satisfactory to Mortgagee that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of Condemnation to complete the proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (4) such architects certificates, waivers of lien, contractors sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Mortgagee may reasonably require and approve; and Mortgagee may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and approved by Mortgagee prior to commencement of work. With respect to disbursements to be made by Mortgagee: (A) no payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time: (B) funds other than proceeds of the Condemnation shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and (C) at all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Mortgagee, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Mortgagee by or on behalf of Mortgagor for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien and the costs. Any surplus which may remain out of the Condemnation proceeds held by Mortgagee after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to any party entitled thereto. In no event shall Mortgagee assume any duty or obligation for the adequacy, form or content of any such plans and specifications, nor for the performance, quality or workmanship of any restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the proceeds of the Condemnation reimbursed to Mortgagor in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall be reduced by the reasonable costs (if any) incurred by Mortgagee in the adjustment and collection thereof and in the reasonable costs incurred by Mortgagee of paying out such proceeds (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs paid to third parties for inspecting the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding and reviewing the plans and specifications therefor). If the Condemnation proceeds are applied to the payment of the sums secured by this Mortgage, any such application of proceeds to
principal shall be in such order as Mortgagee may determine and, if after so applying such proceeds Mortgagee reasonably determines the remaining security to be inadequate to secure the remaining indebtedness, Mortgagor shall upon written demand from Mortgagee prepay on principal such an amount as will reduce the remaining indebtedness to a balance for which adequate security is present.
A.4 Condition of Mortgaged Property .
(a) Mortgagor agrees to properly care for and keep the Mortgaged Property in good condition and repair. Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor agrees not to cause or permit any building or improvement which constitutes a part of the Premises to be removed, demolished or structurally altered, in whole or in part, or any fixture or article of personal property which constitutes a portion of the Mortgaged Property to be removed (other than in the ordinary course of Mortgagors business), damaged or destroyed. Mortgagee consents to the removal and replacement of fixtures and articles of personal property if such articles of personal property are simultaneously replaced with fixtures and articles of equal or greater value, that are free and clear of all liens other than that of Mortgagees, and if the value of the Mortgaged Property is not diminished thereby. Mortgagor agrees not to abandon the Premises or leave the Premises unprotected, unguarded, vacant or deserted, and not to cause or permit any waste to the buildings, improvements or fixtures constituting any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor agrees (i) to repair, restore and reconstruct in good and workmanlike manner to the condition required hereby any improvement which constitutes a part of the Mortgaged Property which may be damaged or destroyed, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph A.2 hereof (provided however, Mortgagor shall not be required to so repair, restore or reconstruct if Mortgagee elects under Paragraph A.2 to retain the insurance proceeds and apply them to the sums secured by this Mortgage, and further provided, if Mortgagee elects to use such proceeds to reimburse Mortgagor for the costs of such repair, restoration or reconstruction, provided however, if such proceeds are not adequate, Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee such additional funds as may be required to accomplish such repair, restoration or reconstruction); (ii) not to permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen to attach to the Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that the filing of any such lien shall not constitute a default hereunder if Mortgagor shall provide an adequate bond with respect to any such lien, in accordance with applicable law or shall provide indemnification with respect to such lien with security therefor acceptable to Mortgagee in Mortgagees sole discretion; (iii) to comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations or governmental orders affecting the Mortgaged Property or requiring any alterations or improvements thereto; (iv) not to commit, suffer or permit any act with respect to the Mortgaged Property in violation of law or of any covenants, prior encumbrances, conditions or restrictions affecting the Mortgaged Property; (v) to make or cause to be made from time to time all needed or proper replacements, repairs and renewals; (vi) to perform all obligations and pay all amounts as and when required to protect Mortgagors interest in the Premises; and (vii) to do any other act or acts, all in a timely and proper manner which from the character or use of the Mortgaged Property may be reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the value of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that the Mortgaged Property shall be used for a skilled nursing facility and for no other purpose without Mortgagees prior written consent.
(b) Mortgagee may, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to Mortgagor, enter and inspect or protect the Mortgaged Property, in person or by agent, in such manner and to such extent as it may deem necessary. In the event that Mortgagor fails to maintain the Mortgaged Property in the manner specified herein, Mortgagee may, at its option, undertake such repairs or maintenance, for the account of Mortgagor, as Mortgagee deems
necessary. The cost of any such repairs or maintenance undertaken by Mortgagee shall become immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and Mortgagee shall be reimbursed therefor in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph B.2 hereof. The right of Mortgagee to undertake such repairs or maintenance shall be optional, shall not impose any duties on Mortgagee, and shall not be deemed to cure any Default under this Mortgage for failure to maintain the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the covenants herein.
A.5 Alterations and Additions . Mortgagor agrees that, as to any alteration, addition, construction or improvement to be made upon the Premises, all plans and specifications therefor shall be prepared by or on behalf of Mortgagor and shall be subject to Mortgagees written approval in advance of the commencement of work; once commenced, all work thereunder shall be prosecuted with due diligence; all construction thereof will be in substantial accordance with the plans and specifications so approved and will comply with all laws, ordinances or regulations made or promulgated by any governmental agency or other lawful authority and with the rules of the applicable Board of Fire Underwriters. Should Mortgagor at any time fail to comply with any notice or demand by any governmental agency, which alleges a failure to comply with any such plan, specification, law, ordinance or regulation, such failure shall, at Mortgagees option, constitute a default hereunder.
A.6 Status of Title . Mortgagor represents and warrants that it is the lawful owner of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple, subject to no liens or encumbrances, except for covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and rights-of-way of record, if any. Mortgagor represents and warrants that it has full right, power and authority to convey and mortgage the Mortgaged Property and to execute this Mortgage. Mortgagor also agrees to protect, preserve and defend its interest in the Mortgaged Property and title thereto, including full performance of any prior claim or lien; to appear and defend this Mortgage in any action or proceeding affecting or purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, the lien of this Mortgage thereon or any of the rights of Mortgagee hereunder, and to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, whether any such action or proceeding progresses to judgment and whether brought by or against Mortgagee, Mortgagor, or the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall be reimbursed for any such costs and expenses in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph B.2 hereof. Mortgagee may, but shall not be under any obligation to, appear or intervene in any such action or proceeding and retain counsel therein and defend the same or otherwise take such action therein as it may deem advisable or may settle or compromise the same and, for any of such purposes, may expend and advance such sums of money as it may deem necessary, and Mortgagee shall be reimbursed therefor in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph B.2 hereof.
A.7 Personal Property Security Interest .
(a) This Mortgage shall cover, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a security interest in, all property now or hereafter affixed or attached or incorporated upon the Mortgaged Property including without limitation all furnaces, heating equipment, air conditioners, fans, water heaters, pipes, ducts, wiring and electrical fixtures, conduits, plumbing, sinks, partitions, restroom fixtures, light fixtures, windows and window coverings, and floor,
ceiling and wall coverings, and all replacements thereof and substitutions therefor, which, to the fullest extent permitted by law shall be deemed fixtures and a part of the real property. In addition, this Mortgage shall cover, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a security interest in: (i) all building materials, fixtures, equipment and other personal property to be incorporated into any improvements constructed on the Premises; (ii) all interest of Mortgagor in all goods, materials, supplies, fixtures, equipment, machinery, furniture and furnishing and other personal property which are now or hereafter affixed to, placed upon or used in connection with, the Premises, and all replacements thereof, and substitutions therefor; (iii) all interest of Mortgagor in all rents, issues and profits, as well as the fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities, and insurance policies, insurance and condemnation awards and proceeds, tradenames, trademarks and service marks, arising from or related to the Premises and any other business conducted on the Premises; (iv) all of Mortgagors interest in and rights pursuant to any franchise or licensing agreement or other similar agreement with respect to the Premises but only to the extent such grant does not violate any such agreement; and (v) all books, records and files relating to, any of the foregoing. The security interests hereby granted are first and prior liens on the property described. To the extent any property covered by this Mortgage consists of rights in action or personal property covered by the Uniform Commercial Code, this Mortgage constitutes a Security Agreement and is intended to create a security interest in such property in favor of Mortgagee. This Mortgage shall be self-operative with respect to such property, but Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver on demand such security agreements, financing statements and other instruments as Mortgagee may request in order to manifest or perfect the lien hereof more specifically upon any of such property. If the lien of this Mortgage on any property is subject to a prior security agreement covering such property, then in the event of any default hereunder, all the right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any and all deposits made in connection with the transaction whereby such prior security agreement was made is hereby assigned to Mortgagee, together with the benefit of any payments now or hereafter made in connection with such transactions.
(b) Mortgagor agrees that all property of every nature and description, whether real or personal covered by this Mortgage, together with all personal property covered by any separate security interests granted to Mortgagee, are encumbered as one unit, and that upon default by Mortgagor under the Note, or under this Mortgage or any security agreement given pursuant to this paragraph, this Mortgage and such security interest, at Mortgagees option, may be foreclosed and the security sold in the same proceedings, and all of the Premises (both realty and personalty) may, at Mortgagees option, be sold as such in one unit as a going business. The filing of any financing statement relating to any personal property or rights or interest generally or specifically described herein shall not be construed to diminish or alter any of Mortgagees rights or priorities hereunder.
A.8 Severability . Should any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Mortgage be held to be void or invalid, the same shall not affect any other term, provision, covenant or condition of this Mortgage, but the remainder hereof shall be effective as though such term, provision, covenant or condition had not been contained herein.
A.9 Usury Disclaimer . Any provision contained herein or in the Note or in any other instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to any indebtedness secured by this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Mortgagee nor the holder of any such indebtedness shall be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall Mortgagor 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, Mortgagee is then permitted to charge Mortgagor (herein the Maximum Rate) provided that the Maximum Rate shall be automatically increased or decreased as the case may be, without notice to Mortgagor 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 A.9 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 Mortgage, and each other instrument now or hereafter evidencing or relating to any indebtedness secured by this Mortgage shall be held subject to reduction to the maximum amount allowed under said applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and any payment by Mortgagor over the Maximum Rate shall be applied to reduce the principal amount due and owing to Mortgagee.
A.10 Impounds . Upon an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall, if requested by Mortgagee, deposit with Mortgagee or Mortgagees designee on each monthly payment date as set forth in the Note one-twelfth (1/12) of the reasonably estimated amount of real estate taxes assessed or to be assessed against the Mortgaged Property for the then current year, together with one-twelfth (1/12) of the reasonably estimated total of all insurance premiums required to be paid for the then current year, as estimated by Mortgagee, together with any extra amount necessary so that the next installments of real property taxes and insurance premiums may be paid from the deposit. Such moneys shall at proper times be progressively returned to Mortgagor for use in the actual payment of said taxes and said insurance premiums or, at the sole election of Mortgagee, Mortgagee may use said moneys in actual payment of such taxes and premiums, but nothing in this paragraph shall release Mortgagor from its obligations to pay said taxes as the same become due and payable under the provisions hereof and to maintain in force all insurance policies as required hereby. All impounds required under this paragraph shall be deposited in a non-interest bearing account of Mortgagee, to be withdrawn by Mortgagee at such times and in such amounts as shall be deemed appropriate by Mortgagee. All amounts deposited under this paragraph are hereby assigned to Mortgagee as additional security for all indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, and so long as any Default as set forth herein including a default in the payment of any money or the performance of any covenant or obligation herein contained or secured hereby exists, then any deposits made by Mortgagor under this paragraph may, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied to the payment of principal and interest or other indebtedness secured hereby, in lieu of being applied to any of the purposes of this paragraph A.10 previously stated.
A.11 Environmental Representations and Warranties . Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that: (a) during the period of Mortgagors ownership of the Mortgaged Property, there has not been, nor will there be in the future, any use, generation, manufacture,
storage, treatment, disposal, release, or threatened release of any hazardous waste or substance by any person or entity on, or about the Mortgaged Property; (b) Mortgagor has no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been, except as previously disclosed to and acknowledged by Mortgagee in writing, (i) any use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release, or threatened release of any hazardous waste or substance by any prior owners or occupants of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) any actual or threatened litigation or claims of any kind by any person or entity relating to such matters; and (c) except as previously disclosed to and acknowledged by Mortgagor in writing, (i) neither Mortgagor nor any tenant, contractor, agent, or other authorized user of the Mortgaged Property shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of, or release any hazardous waste or substance on, under, or about the Mortgaged Property and (ii) all such activity shall be conducted in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances. Mortgagor, at any time during usual business hours, authorizes Mortgagee and its agents to enter upon the Mortgaged Property to make such inspections and tests, including, without limitation, intrusive tests, at Mortgagors expense, as Mortgagee may deem appropriate to determine compliance with this section of the Mortgage and the absence of any hazardous waste or hazardous substance on or near the Mortgaged Property. Any inspections or tests made by Mortgagee shall be for Mortgagees purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims against Mortgagee for indemnity or contribution in the event Mortgagor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs associated therewith, and (b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses, which Mortgagee may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Mortgage or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release, or threatened release occurring prior to Mortgagors ownership or interest in the Mortgaged Property, whether or not the same was or should have been known to Mortgagor. The provisions of this paragraph of the Mortgage, including the obligation to indemnify, shall survive the payment of the indebtedness secured herein and the satisfaction and reconveyance of the lien of this Mortgage and shall not be affected by Mortgagees acquisition of any interest in the Mortgaged Property, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. The terms hazardous waste, disposal, release, and threatened release, as used in this Mortgage shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq. (CERCLA), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-499 (SARA) the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et seq., the Resource Conservation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., as amended, or other applicable state or federal laws, rules or regulations adopted pursuant to any of the foregoing. The term hazardous waste and hazardous substance shall also include, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum by-products and asbestos. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph, Mortgagee acknowledges that the Borrower may use office supplies, cleaning substances, medical supplies and materials used in the ordinary course of operation for a nursing home facility and that such use is consistent with all Environmental Laws.
A.12 Time of the Essence . Time of each payment and performance of each of Mortgagors obligations pursuant to the Note, this Mortgage, and each other instrument or
obligation of Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage or given in connection with this Mortgage is specifically declared to be of the essence.
B. GENERAL PROVISIONS .
B.1 Non-Waiver . Mortgagees acceptance of any sum after the same is due shall not constitute a waiver of the right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other sums hereby secured or to declare a Default as herein provided. The acceptance by Mortgagee of any sum in an amount less than the sum then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and upon condition that it shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of Mortgagor to pay the entire sum then due, and Mortgagors failure to pay said entire sum then due shall be and continue to be a default notwithstanding such acceptance of such amount on account, as aforesaid, and Mortgagee shall be at all times thereafter and until the entire sum then due shall have been paid, and notwithstanding the acceptance by Mortgagee thereafter of further sums on account, or otherwise, entitled to exercise all rights in this Mortgage conferred upon Mortgagee, upon the occurrence of a default, and the right to proceed with a sale under any notice of default and election to sell shall in no way be impaired, whether any of such amounts are received prior or subsequent to such notice. Consent by Mortgagee to any transaction or action which is subject to consent or approval of Mortgagee hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require such consent or approval to future or successive transactions or actions.
B.2 Substitute Performance by Mortgagee . Should Mortgagor fail to pay or perform when required hereunder any obligation of Mortgagor hereunder, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Mortgaged Property or title thereto or the interest of Mortgagee therein, including but not limited to, eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, without regard to the adequacy of its security and without prejudice to its right to declare a Default hereunder, make such appearances, disburse such sums or take such actions as Mortgagee reasonably deems necessary to protect Mortgagees interest, including, but not limited to disbursement of attorneys fees and entry upon the Mortgaged Property to make repairs without notice or demand to or upon Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee an easement to enter upon the Property at any time, which easement shall continue for the duration of this Mortgage. The payment by Mortgagee of any delinquent tax, assessment or governmental charge, or any lien or encumbrance which Mortgagee in good faith believes may be prior to the lien of this Mortgage, or any insurance premium for insurance which Mortgagor is obligated to provide hereunder but which Mortgagee in good faith believes has not been supplied, shall be conclusive between Mortgagor and Mortgagee as to the propriety and amount so paid. Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all rights, equities and liens discharged by any such expenditure. After any Default hereunder and whether or not any action is instituted to enforce any provision of this Mortgage or the Note, Mortgagor promises to pay to Mortgagee, as incurred, all reasonable sums incurred by Mortgagee for attorneys fees and costs to enforce this Mortgage or the Note or to defend any claims arising from this Mortgage or the Note. Any amounts so paid pursuant to this Paragraph B.2, or the cost of such performance, together with all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with such payment or performance, and any amounts for which Mortgagor is specifically obligated to reimburse Mortgagee pursuant to
provisions hereof, including reasonable attorneys fees and interest on all such amounts at the default rate, as described in the Note, from the date paid by Mortgagee until repaid to Mortgagee, shall be payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee immediately upon notice to Mortgagor of the amount owing, without further demand, shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be added to the judgment in any suit brought by Mortgagee against Mortgagor. Failure to pay any such amount within ten (10) days after notice to Mortgagor of the amount owing shall constitute a Default hereunder and Mortgagee may, at its option, accelerate and demand full payment of all amounts secured hereby.
B.3 Powers of Mortgagee . At any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, without affecting the personal liability of any person or entity for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby and without affecting the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property for the full amount of all amounts secured hereby, Mortgagee may (a) release all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (b) consent to the making of any map or plat thereof, (c) join in granting any easement thereon or in creating any covenants or conditions restricting use or occupancy thereof, or (d) join in any extension agreement or in any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
B.4 Certain Definitions . The term Mortgagee means the original Mortgagee hereunder, its successors or assigns, and any future owner and holder, including pledgee, of the Note. All obligations of each Mortgagor hereunder are joint and several, and this Mortgage in all its parts applies to and binds the heirs, personal representatives, administrators, executors, successors and assigns of all and each of the parties hereto. If Mortgagor is two or more entities or persons, the term Mortgagor as used herein shall refer to them collectively, as well as individually.
B.5 Financial Statements and Other Disclosures . Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that all financial statements and credit applications delivered by Mortgagor to Mortgagee accurately reflect the financial condition and operations of Mortgagor at the times and for the periods therein stated. So long as this Mortgage is in force and effect, Mortgagor agrees to deliver to Mortgagee, within 90 days after the end of each of Mortgagors fiscal years, an income statement on the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property, a complete and accurate copy of Mortgagors federal tax returns and financial statements, including a balance sheet, profit and loss statement and aging of accounts receivable and accounts payable, all schedules, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles certified by an officer of the Mortgagor, showing the consolidated financial position of Mortgagor at the close of such fiscal year, and concurrently therewith a certificate of its Managing Member or chief financial officer to the effect that such officer is not aware of any condition or event which constitutes a default under this Mortgage or a default under any franchise agreement to which Mortgagor is a party, or under any notes or obligations or which, with the mere passage of time or notice, or both, would constitute a default under this Mortgage or a default under any such franchise agreement or under any notes or obligations of the Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby agrees to immediately notify Mortgagee in writing as to the existence of any notes payable by Mortgagor, or any related person or entity, to any franchisor for unpaid royalties or other unpaid obligations to such franchisor.
B.6 Amendment . No alteration, amendment or waiver of this Mortgage, or the Note shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties sought to be charged or bound thereby.
B.7 Governing Law . This Mortgage will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with federal law and the laws of the State of North Carolina, except and only to the extent of procedural matters related to the creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of Mortgagees rights and remedies against the Mortgaged Property, which matters shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas. However, in the event that the enforceability or validity of any provision of this Mortgage is challenged or questioned, such provision shall be governed by whichever applicable state or federal law would uphold or would enforce such challenged or questioned provision. The loan transaction which is evidenced by the Note and this Mortgage has been applied for, considered, approved and made, and all necessary loan documents have been accepted by Mortgagee in the State of North Carolina.
B.8 Statement Fee . For any statement requested by Mortgagor regarding the obligations and indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, or regarding the amounts held in any impound or reserve fund established hereunder, Mortgagee may charge a reasonable fee, not to exceed any maximum amount provided by any applicable law at the time of the request therefor.
B.9 Notices .
(a) All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be delivered in person or by United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested. If any written notice is mailed, it shall be deemed effective on the earlier of actual receipt or on the third (3rd) calendar day following the date of mailing. Notice given in person shall be effective only if, and when, received. The addresses of the parties for delivery of notices shall be the addresses set forth above.
(b) Any party may change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by giving ten (10) days notice to other parties in the manner set forth above.
B.10 Representations and Warranties of Mortgagor . Mortgagor and each signatory who signs on Mortgagors behalf hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a) That this Mortgage, the Note and all other documents executed and delivered to Mortgagee in connection herewith were executed in accordance with the requirements of law and are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms.
(b) That the execution of this Mortgage, the Note and any other document executed and delivered to Mortgagee in connection herewith, and the full and complete performance of the provisions hereof and thereof, will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, bank loan or credit agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which Mortgagor is a party or by which Mortgagor is bound, and will not result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than those in favor of Mortgagee) upon any property or assets of Mortgagor.
(c) That as of the date of execution of this Mortgage, Mortgagor is the owner of the Mortgaged Property.
(d) The improvements on the Premises, existing and proposed, and their intended use will, when completed, comply fully with all applicable environmental, air quality, zoning, planning, building, subdivision and other governmental laws and requirements. Mortgagor specifically warrants that the existing improvements on each property listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference, complies with all local zoning ordinances.
(e) The Premises are composed of one or more whole tax parcels with a separate tax assessment, independent of any land or improvements not encumbered by this Mortgage.
(f) There is no litigation pending or, to the best of Mortgagors knowledge, threatened against the Mortgaged Property. There is no litigation pending or, to the best of Mortgagors knowledge, threatened against Mortgagor, which might, so far as Mortgagor can now reasonably foresee, have a material adverse effect on Mortgagors ability to repay the Note or to perform the provisions of this Mortgage or of any other document delivered to Mortgagee in connection herewith. Mortgagor has disclosed all litigation pending and threatened against Mortgagor to Mortgagee in writing, and will disclose all future such litigation to Mortgagee in writing within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice thereof.
(g) The Mortgaged Property complies with all applicable subdivision laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and other requirements.
(h) Mortgagor is not in default with respect to any existing indebtedness or obligation.
(i) Mortgagor has the power and authority to enter into and perform all terms and conditions of this Mortgage, the Note, and all other documents executed in connection with this transaction, and to incur the obligations herein and therein provided for.
(j) Unless previously disclosed to Mortgagee in writing, Mortgagor has not made any agreement or taken any action which may cause anyone to become entitled to a commission or finders fee as a result of the making of any loan to Mortgagor by Mortgagee.
These representations and warranties may be relied upon by Mortgagee with or without investigation by Mortgagee and they shall survive any such investigation, and shall continue and may be relied upon by Mortgagee until all obligations secured by this Mortgage have been paid in full.
B.11 Extensions and Modifications . From time to time, without affecting the obligation of Mortgagor or Mortgagors successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by this Mortgage and to observe the obligations of Mortgagor contained herein, without affecting the guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership or other entity for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and without affecting the lien or priority of lien hereof on the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagees option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Mortgagor, Mortgagors successors or assigns or of any other lienholders or guarantors, and without liability on Mortgagees part, extend the time for payment of said indebtedness or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of said indebtedness, accept a renewal note or notes therefor, modify the terms and time of payment of said indebtedness, release from this Mortgage any part of the Mortgaged Property, take or release other or additional security, reconvey any part of the Mortgaged Property, consent to the granting of any easement or dedication, join in any extension or subordination agreement and agree in writing with any person obligated to pay the same to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of any indebtedness secured hereby or change the amount of the installments payable thereon. Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagee a reasonable service charge, together with such title insurance premiums and attorneys fees as may be incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any such action.
B.12 Waiver by Mortgagor . Mortgagor waives any requirement of presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or late payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other formalities. Mortgagor waives and releases all right of appraisement, sale, and redemption allowed under any law or laws of the State of Arkansas, or the laws of any other state or jurisdiction, including particularly all right of redemption under Ark. Code Ann. § 18-49-106 or Ark. Code Ann. § 16-66-502. Mortgagor waives all rights and/or privileges it might otherwise have to require Mortgagee to proceed against or to pursue any remedy available to Mortgagee in any particular manner or order as to any particular collateral, person or entity under any legal or equitable doctrine or principle including, without limitation, marshalling of assets and/or suretyship principles, and further agrees that Mortgagee may proceed against any or all of the assets encumbered hereby or by any other security document or instrument in the event of Default in such order and manner as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may determine. Any Mortgagor that has signed this Mortgage as a surety or accommodation party, or that has subjected its property to this Mortgage to secure the indebtedness of another, hereby expressly waives any defense arising by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Mortgagor, and waives the benefit of any statutes of limitation affecting the enforcement hereof.
B.13 Corrections . Mortgagor will, upon request of Mortgagee, promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents of this Mortgage or in the execution or acknowledgment hereof, and will execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such further acts as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by Mortgagee to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Mortgage, to subject to the liens and security interests hereby created any of Mortgagors properties, rights or interest covered or intended to be covered hereby, and to perfect and maintain such liens and security interests.
B.14 Mortgagee Indemnification . Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and to hold Mortgagee and Mortgagees affiliates and parent companies, and all of its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (the Indemnified Parties), harmless from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses or damages (including all related costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys fees) asserted against, imposed on or incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with or as a result of this Mortgage or the exercise of any rights or remedies under this Mortgage or by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings of Mortgagee to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in this Mortgage. Should Mortgagee incur any such liability, the amount thereof, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate stated in the Note, shall be secured hereby and Mortgagor shall reimburse the Mortgagee therefor immediately upon demand.
B.15 Late Payment Charge . Mortgagor acknowledges that late payment to Mortgagee will cause Mortgagee to incur costs not contemplated by this Mortgage. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if any payment required by the Note or this Mortgage is not received by Mortgagee within ten (10) days after the due date, Mortgagee hereby may assess a late charge in the amount of five percent (5.0%) of the unpaid amount of the payment, or the maximum permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.
The parties agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Mortgage and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Mortgagee will incur by reason of the late payment. The parties further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly or inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the Default with respect to the overdue amount, and shall not prevent Mortgagee from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Mortgagee.
B.16 Exhibits . All of the provisions in each of the attached Exhibits are incorporated herein by this reference for all purposes.
B.17 Acknowledgment of Notice. THIS WRITTEN 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.

(a) Mortgagee may in person or by agent enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, make repairs and alterations, and do any acts which Mortgagee deems proper to protect the security hereof or to operate and maintain the Mortgaged Property and the business operated thereon; and either with or without taking possession, in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect and receive rents, issues, and profits as well as the fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Mortgagee may determine. Upon request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall assemble and make available to Mortgagee at the Premises any of the Mortgaged Property which has been removed therefrom. The entering upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, the collection of any rents, issues and profits as well as the fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any Default theretofore or thereafter occurring, or affect any notice of Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. Mortgagee or Mortgagees agent shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and the business operated thereon and shall be liable to account only for those rents, issues and profits as well actually received by Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall not be liable to Mortgagor, anyone claiming by, from, under or through Mortgagor or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property by reason of anything done or undone by Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require Mortgagee to incur any expense or do any act. If the rents, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Property and the business operated thereon are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the rents, issues and
profits, any funds expended by Mortgagee for such purposes shall become indebtedness of Mortgagor to Mortgagee secured by this Mortgage. Such amounts, together with interest and attorneys fees if applicable as provided in Paragraph B.2. hereof, shall be immediately due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph B.2. hereof. Notwithstanding Mortgagees continuance in possession or receipt and application of rents, issues or profits, Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Mortgage or by law upon or after the occurrence of a default, including any right to exercise the power of sale. Any of the actions referred to in this Paragraph may be taken by Mortgagee at such time as Mortgagee is so entitled, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured.
(b) Mortgagee shall, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect the Mortgaged Property and the business operated thereon, and, in Mortgagees discretion, operate the same, in whole or in part, and collect the rents, issues and profits as well as the fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities therefrom.
(c) Mortgagee may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Mortgage through judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, including statutory foreclosure under Ark. Code Ann. § 18-5-101 et seq. , with notice to Mortgagor as required under applicable law, or to enforce any of the covenants, agreements or other obligations contained in this Mortgage.
(d) Mortgagee may elect to cause the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to be sold as follows:
(i) Mortgagee may cause any such sale or other disposition of personal property to be conducted immediately following the expiration of any grace period, if any, herein provided (or immediately upon the expiration of any applicable redemption period), and may cause any such sale of real property to be conducted as soon after foreclosure as is permitted by law, or Mortgagee may delay any such sale or other disposition for such period of time as Mortgagee deems to be in its best interest. Should Mortgagee desire that more than one such sale or other disposition be conducted, Mortgagee may at its option, cause the same to be conducted simultaneously, or successively on the same day, or at such different days or times and in such order as Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interest.
(ii) Should Mortgagee elect to cause any of the Mortgaged Property to be disposed of as personal property as permitted by subparagraph (i) above, it may dispose of any part thereof in any manner now or hereafter permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or in accordance with any other right or remedy provided by applicable law. Both Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be eligible to purchase all or any part of such property at any such disposition. Any such disposition may be either by public or private sale or other disposition as Mortgagee may elect in its sole discretion. Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or other disposition of such property or of the time at or after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Mortgagor as provided in Paragraph B.10 hereof, it shall constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor.
(iii) At the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property which is real property, the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof specified by Mortgagee shall be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, subject, however, to the provisions of Paragraph C.6 hereof. If the Mortgaged Property consists of several lots or parcels, it may be sold as a whole or in separate lots or parcels, if directed by Mortgagee. Any person or entity, including Mortgagee, may purchase at the sale.
(iv) Mortgagee may, in any manner that it deems appropriate, apply the proceeds of any judicial foreclosure sale or sale made pursuant to the power of sale created hereby (to the extent permitted by applicable law) or other disposition of any of the Mortgaged Property hereunder to payment of the following: (1) the expenses of such sale or disposition, together with Mortgagees fees, costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Mortgagee, and the actual cost of publishing, recording, mailing and posting notice; (2) the cost of any search and/or other evidence of title procured in connection therewith and revenue stamps on any deed or conveyance; (3) the payment of the Note secured by this Mortgage; (4) any or all other sums secured by this Mortgage; and (5) the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, in the order of their priority.
(e) Mortgagee may take any other appropriate action permitted by applicable law.
C.3 Deficiency; Liabilities and Rights After Default . To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be and remain liable for any deficiency remaining after sale either pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, judicial proceedings, or otherwise. After Default or the occurrence of an event which after the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, could become a Default, Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagees reasonable attorneys fees, Mortgagees fees and its costs and expenses incurred as a result of said Default or other such event, and if suit is brought, all costs of suit, all of which sums shall be secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagors statutory rights of reinstatement, if any, are expressly conditioned upon Mortgagors payment of all sums required under the applicable statute and performance of all required acts.
C.4 Right of Setoff . In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Mortgagee is hereby authorized by Mortgagor at any time or from time to time, without notice to Mortgagor, any guarantor or endorser of the Note or any other indebtedness or obligation secured by this Mortgage, or any other person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off any obligations or liabilities any time held or owing by Mortgagee to or for the credit or the account of Mortgagor or any such guarantor or endorser against the obligations and liabilities of Mortgagor or any such guarantor or endorser to Mortgagee, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Mortgage, the Note or any other indebtedness or obligation secured by this Mortgage, irrespective of whether or not (a) Mortgagee shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) Mortgagee shall have declared the principal of and interest on
the Note to be due and owing and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, shall be contingent and unmatured.
C.5 Foreclosure Procedure . Mortgagor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right which it may have to direct the order in which any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto.
C.6 Foreclosure Purchase . Upon any sale of the Mortgaged Property, if the holder of the Note is a purchaser at such sale, it shall be entitled to use and apply all or any portion of the indebtedness then secured by this Mortgage for or in settlement or payment of all or any portion of the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property purchased.
C.7 Cumulative Remedies . No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by this Mortgage to Mortgagee, or to which it may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, and Mortgagee may pursue inconsistent remedies. The unenforceability of any provision in this Mortgage shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision herein. If there exists additional security for the performance of the obligations secured hereby, the Mortgagee, at its sole option, and without limiting or affecting any rights or remedies hereunder, may exercise any of the rights and remedies to which it may be entitled hereunder either concurrently with whatever other rights it may have in connection with such other security or in such order as it may determine.
C.8. Marshalling of Assets . Mortgagor agrees that all of the Mortgaged Property and all other collateral or security which may be granted to Mortgagee in connection with the obligations secured by this Mortgage constitutes equal security for all of the obligations secured hereby, and Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagee shall be entitled to sell, retain or otherwise deal with any or all of the Mortgaged Property and all other collateral or security, in any order or simultaneously as Mortgagee shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, free of any requirement for the marshalling of assets or other restriction upon Mortgagee in dealing with the Mortgaged Property and all other collateral or security.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Mortgagor has executed this Mortgage as of the day and year set forth above.

1. Grant of Security Interest. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Debtor, for consideration, and to secure the full and prompt payment, observance and performance when due of all present and future obligations and indebtedness of Debtor to Secured Party, whether at the stated time, by acceleration or otherwise, 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 Agreement, and whether now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, and whether such indebtedness from time to time is reduced and thereafter increased, or entirely extinguished and thereafter reincurred, including without limitation, the following:
(a) Any and all amounts owed by Debtor under, in connection with, and/or pursuant to the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Term Note of even date herewith, in the original principal sum of Three Million Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($3,600,000.00) (the Note), with interest thereon according to the provisions thereof, and all obligations 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 Secured Party pursuant to or in connection with the Note or any other agreements and 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 Debtor to Secured Party, 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 Debtor to Secured Party as a manager of any partnership, syndicate or association or other group and whether incurred by Debtor 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 Debtor to pay Secured Party;
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: 826 North Buchanan Street, Stamps, Arkansas 71860.
(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: 826 North Buchanan Street, Stamps, Arkansas.
(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 Homestead Nursing, LLC will register or has registered the trade name Homestead Manor Nursing Home and will operate 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;

(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.

(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.

(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 the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall in all respects be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with federal law and the laws of the State of North Carolina, except and only to the extent of procedural matters related to the perfection and enforcement of Lenders rights and remedies against the Property, which matters shall be governed by the laws of the state of Arkansas. However, in the event that the enforceability or validity of any provision of this Agreement is challenged or questioned, such provision shall be governed by which whichever applicable state or federal law would uphold or would enforce such challenged or questioned provision. The loan transaction which is evidenced by this Agreement has been applied for, considered, approved and made, and all necessary loan documents have been accepted by Lender in the State of North Carolina.
(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.

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 Homestead Property Holdings, LLC and Homestead Nursing, LLC (hereinafter collectively called Obligor), by SQUARE 1 BANK (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 Three Million Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($3,600,000.00) (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 material 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.
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 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.
24. THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA AND/OR OHIO, EXCEPT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF LENDERS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST THE REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL, WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS. HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT THAT THE ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT IS CHALLENGED OR QUESTIONED, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY WHICH WHICHEVER APPLICABLE STATE OR FEDERAL LAW WOULD UPHOLD OR WOULD ENFORCE SUCH CHALLENGED OR QUESTIONED PROVISION. THE LOAN TRANSACTION WHICH IS EVIDENCED BY THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR, CONSIDERED, APPROVED AND MADE, AND ALL NECESSARY LOAN DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Guaranty as of the date written below.

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser have entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ( Purchase and Sale Agreement ) dated as of May , 2011, for certain facilities described therein (hereinafter referred to as the Property ); and
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller desire to have Escrow Agent hold certain Deposit funds in escrow as required under the Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
Seller and Purchaser hereby appoint Gregory D. Hughes, Esquire as Escrow Agent hereunder.
Purchaser has deposited and delivered to Escrow Agent a wire transfer in the amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND and NO/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (the Deposit ) to be deposited representing the Deposit due under the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Additional monies may be deposited with Escrow Agent as may be provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, all of which are to be held and disbursed as provided herein.
Escrow Agent agrees to deposit the funds in a non-interest bearing attorneys escrow account and to hold and disburse the funds as herein provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the undersigned hereby agree that the disposition of the Deposit shall be solely governed by this Escrow Agreement.
Upon written notification from Purchaser and Seller that the contemplated sale is to be consummated, or in the alternative, that the contemplated sale shall not take place, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit as jointly instructed by the parties, assuming said written instructions are mutually compatible. In the event of a dispute between any of the parties hereto sufficient in the sole discretion of Escrow Agent to justify its doing so, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all money or property in its hands held under the terms of this Escrow Agreement, together with such legal pleadings as it deems appropriate, and thereupon be discharged.

The undersigned parties hereby agree that upon a final judgment of any action with regard to a dispute as to the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed from the corpus of the amount interpleaded for any
costs, expenses or attorneys fees in excess of the severed and retained estimate, and will remit to the parties to the action any excess amount remaining after payment of all Escrow Agents costs, expenses and attorneys fees, in accordance with any directive contained within the final judgment.
The parties hereto covenant and agree that in performing any of its duties under this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss, costs or damage which it may incur as a result of serving as Escrow Agent hereunder, except for any loss, costs or damage arising out of its willful default or gross negligence.
Accordingly, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith upon advice of its counsel given with respect to any questions relating to its duties and responsibilities or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any document, including any written notice of instruction provided in this Escrow Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons and to conform with the provisions of this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for any loss or fund due to bank or other depository failure, suspension or cessation of business or any action or inaction on the part of the bank or other depository. Escrow Agent is specifically authorized to refuse to act except upon the written instructions of Purchaser and Seller.
Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable cost of investigation and attorneys fees and disbursements which may be imposed upon or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with its serving as Escrow Agent hereunder.
If Purchaser should subsequently deliver any additional Deposit to Escrow Agent in connection with the sale contemplated by this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent shall hold such additional Deposit under the terms of this Escrow Agreement, unless instructed otherwise in writing by the parties.

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 sixty (60) 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 Facilities 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 Facilities 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 Facilities 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.

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 Facilities 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.

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 Facilities 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 Facilities 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 five (5) 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 five (5) 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 five (5) 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 five (5) 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 thirty (30) 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 thirty (30) days after the Closing Date shall be first applied against accounts receivable related to periods following the Closing Date.
(c) If Transferor receives periodic interim payments ( PIP Payments ) under the Medicare Program with respect to goods and services provided to the residents of the Facilities prior to the Closing Date, the parties acknowledge and agree 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, with respect to PIP Payments received during the 12-month period following the Closing Date, the first two (2) PIP Payments received for each Facility during the 12-month period 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 thirty (30) 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 thirty (30) 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 promptly 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 parties shall use their best efforts to forward such documents within three (3) business days 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 Facilities 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 Facilities 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 Facilities, and any other items of revenue or expense attributable to the Facilities (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. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, Transferor shall not terminate any utility service or phone systems.
(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 therefore.
(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 Facilities 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 Facilities 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 Facilities 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, for a period of seven (7) years from the date of the record or such shorter period as may be required by law.
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 Facilities 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 Facilities 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 Facilities from and after the Closing Date. Accordingly, in the event it is determined by Medicare or Medicaid that (a) Transferor has been overpaid during the pre-Closing Date period or has otherwise received payment(s) for goods or services provided at the Facilities 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 Facilities 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 ten (10) 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 ten (10) 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.
1.12 Post-Closing Billing . For a period of sixty (60) days 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 Facilities for periods preceding the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of sixty (60) days, 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.
