ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  These statements include the accounts of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”) and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively with AdCare, the “Company” or “we”).  Controlled subsidiaries include AdCare’s majority owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which AdCare has control as primary beneficiary.  A “primary beneficiary” is the party in a VIE that has both of the following characteristics:  (a.) The power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b.) The obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

The Company delivers skilled nursing, assisted living and home health services through wholly owned separate operating subsidiaries.  All inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in the consolidation.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Annual Report”).  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered for a fair presentation are included and are of a normal recurring nature.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the assumed issuance of common shares upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding includes potentially dilutive securities, such as options, warrants, non-vested shares, and additional shares issuable under convertible notes outstanding during the period when such potentially dilutive securities are not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities from options, warrants and non-vested shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Potentially dilutive securities from convertible debt are calculated based on the assumed issuance at the beginning of the period, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from their assumed issuance.

Compensated Absences

 

In 2012, the Company removed the ability for employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation beyond the current calendar year.  As a result, vacation time previously accumulated must be used by the employee by December 31, 2012 or it will be forfeited.  Management has estimated the potential forfeitures and has adjusted the vacation accrual accordingly.

 

NOTE 2.       LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY

 

The Company had net income of approximately $679,000 and $473,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and a net loss of $4,397,000 and $5,162,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company had positive working capital of approximately $1,198,000 at June 30, 2012.  The Company’s ability to sustain profitable operations is dependent on continued growth in revenue and controlling costs.

 

Management’s plans for increasing liquidity and profitability in future years include the following:

 

·              increasing facility occupancy and improving the occupancy mix by increasing Medicare patients;

·              acquiring additional long term care facilities with existing cash flowing operations to expand our operations, and

·              refinancing debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms.

 

Management believes that the foregoing actions, if taken by the Company, should provide the opportunity for the Company to improve liquidity and achieve profitability; however, there is no assurance that such actions will occur or, if they do occur, that they will result in improved liquidity or profitability.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on the growth of its skilled nursing segment, the Company decided in the fourth quarter of 2011 to exit the home health segment of the business.  This segment represents less than 2% of total revenues for the Company over the past year.

 

As a result of the decision to exit the home health business, the assets and liabilities that are expected to be sold are reflected as assets and liabilities held for sale and are comprised of the following:

NOTE 4.       SEGMENTS

 

The Company reports its operations in three segments:  Skilled Nursing Facility (“SNF”), Assisted Living Facility (“ALF”), and Corporate & Other. The SNF and ALF segments provide services to individuals needing long-term care in a nursing home or assisted living setting, and the management of those facilities. The Corporate & Other segment engages in the management of facilities and accounting and IT services. We evaluate financial performance and allocate resources primarily based upon segment operating income (loss). Segment operating results excludes interest expense and other non-operating income and expenses. The table below sets forth our segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Revolving Credit Facilities

 

Gemino Credit Agreement

 

At December 31, 2011, the outstanding balance of approximately $7,265,000 for the revolving credit agreement was classified as current as a result of the required lockbox arrangement and subjective acceleration clauses.  At June 30, 2012, a portion of the outstanding balance is reflected as non-current in the amount of approximately $5,164,000.  This portion is classified as non-current because management is currently in the process of refinancing this debt into a revolving credit agreement that management anticipates will be long-term with no features that would require current presentation.  Management has demonstrated the intent and ability to refinance this debt.  At June 30, 2012, the Company’s outstanding balance was in excess of the borrowing base restriction and the portion in excess is presented as a current obligation.

 

Mortgage Notes

 

Hearth and Home of Vandalia

 

In connection with the Company’s January 2012 refinance of the assisted living facility located in Vandalia, Ohio known as Hearth and Home of Vandalia, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare obtained a term loan insured by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”)  with a financial institution for a total amount of $3,721,500 that matures in 2041.  The HUD term loan requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $17,500 with a fixed interest rate of 3.74%.  Deferred financing costs incurred on the term loan amounted to approximately $201,000 and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan.  The HUD term loan has a prepayment penalty of 8% through 2014 declining by 1% each year through 2022.

 

Woodland Manor

 

In connection with the Company’s January 2012 acquisition of the skilled nursing facility located in Springfield, Ohio, known as Woodland Manor, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a loan agreement for $4,800,000.  The loan matures in December 2016 with a required final payment of approximately $4,300,000 and accrues interest at the LIBOR rate plus 4% with a minimum rate of 6% per annum.  The loan requires monthly principal payments of $8,500 plus interest for total current monthly payments of approximately $33,000.  Deferred financing costs incurred on the loan amounted to approximately $107,300 and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan.  The loan has a prepayment penalty of 5% through 2012 declining by 1% each year through 2015.  The loan is secured by the Woodland Manor facility and guaranteed by AdCare.

Little Rock, Northridge and Woodland Hills

 

In connection with the Company’s April 2012 acquisition of three skilled nursing facilities located in Arkansas known as Little Rock, Northridge and Woodland Hills, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of AdCare entered into a loan agreement for $21,800,000 with the Private Bank.  The loan matures in March 2017 with a required final payment of approximately $19,700,000 and accrues interest at the LIBOR rate plus 4% with a minimum rate of 6% per annum.  The loan requires monthly principal payments of $37,000 plus interest for total current monthly payments of approximately $153,000.  Deferred financing costs incurred on the loan amounted to approximately $410,000 and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan.  The loan has a prepayment penalty of 5% through 2012 declining by 1% each year through 2015.  The loan is secured by the three facilities and guaranteed by AdCare.  The Company has approximately $1,810,000 of restricted assets related to this loan.

 

On June 15, 2012, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of AdCare entered into a modification agreement with Private Bank to modify the terms of the loan agreement.  The loan modification agreement, among other things, amended the loan agreement to reflect a maturity date of March 30, 2013.  The Company anticipates that it will re-finance the Little Rock, Northridge and Woodland Hills facilities later this year with long-term financing.

 

Abington Place

 

In connection with the Company’s June 2012 acquisition of the skilled nursing facility located in Little Rock, Arkansas known as Abington Place, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare entered into a short-term loan agreement for $3,425,000 with Metro City Bank.  The loan matures in September 2012 and accrues interest at the prime rate plus 2.25% with a minimum rate of 6.25% per annum.  Deferred financing costs incurred on the loan amounted to approximately $130,000 and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan.  The loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty.  The loan is secured by the Abington Place facility and guaranteed by AdCare.

 

Stone County

In March 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare entered into a purchase agreement for a skilled nursing home facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma and agreed to provide back office services for the facility until the earlier of its acquisition by the Company or the termination of the purchase agreement.  It was determined that in this arrangement, the Company has a variable interest. The current owner of the facility is obligated for the outstanding debt of the facility and the Company has not provided any guarantee of the debt.  The Company can terminate the current arrangement without any requirement to provide future financial support.  As such, it was determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, consolidation is not required.  The Company’s current exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the facility is limited to an accounts receivable balance of approximately $539,000 at June 30, 2012 which represents amounts primarily due from governmental agencies.

NOTE 14.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Matters

 

The skilled nursing and assisted living business involves a significant risk of liability given the age and health of the Company’s patients and residents and the services the Company provides. The Company and others in the industry are subject to an increasing number of claims and lawsuits, including professional liability claims, which may allege that services have resulted in personal injury, elder abuse, wrongful death or other related claims. The defense of these lawsuits may result in significant legal costs, regardless of the outcome, and can result in large settlement amounts or damage awards.

 

In addition to the potential lawsuits and claims described above, the Company and others in the industry are also subject to potential lawsuits under the Federal False Claims Act and comparable state laws alleging submission of fraudulent claims for services to any healthcare program (such as Medicare) or payor. A violation may provide the basis for exclusion from federally-funded healthcare programs.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company does not have any material loss contingencies recorded based on management’s evaluation of the probability of loss from known claims.

 

Commitments

 

Tulsa Companion Care PSA

 

On March 14, 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with F & F Ventures, LLC and Tulsa Christian Care, Inc., doing business as Companions Specialized Care Center, to acquire a 121-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tulsa, Oklahoma for an aggregate purchase price of $5,750,000.  The purchase price consists of a $5,000,000 cash payment and the issuance of shares of common stock with an aggregate value of $750,000, with such shares valued at the average closing price of common stock for the ten-day period ending on the last business day prior to the closing of the acquisition.  Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company deposited $150,000 into escrow to be held as earnest money.  On July 19, 2012, the Purchase and Sale Agreement was amended to (i) extend the closing date of the acquisition to July 31, 2012; (ii) require the Company to deliver an additional $50,000 to the sellers to be held as earnest money; and (iii) provide that all amounts held as earnest money under the purchase agreement (including, but not limited to, the $50,000 deposited by the Company pursuant to the amendment) shall be credited against the purchase price at closing (or returned to the Company in the event of a default by the sellers). On August 7, 2012, the Purchase and Sale Agreement was amended, effective as of July 31, 2012, to further extend the closing date of the acquisition to August 17, 2012. The Company expects to close on the acquisition in mid-August 2012.

 

Oklahoma PSA Amendment

 

On April 17, 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare amended the Purchase and Sale Agreement with First Commercial Bank to acquire five skilled nursing facilities located in Oklahoma.  The amendment requires an additional deposit of $50,000 into escrow to be used as earnest money; amends the closing date to the date which is sixty (60) days after all required licenses are received, but in no event later than September 30, 2012; and releases $200,000 from escrow to First Commercial Bank.  Upon the closing of the purchase, the Company shall receive a $200,000 credit against the purchase price; however, if the transaction fails to be consummated for any reason other than (i) default by First Commercial Bank; (ii) the failure of a condition to closing to be satisfied; or (iii) an event of casualty or condemnation, First Commercial Bank shall be entitled to retain the $200,000 disbursed from escrow. If the transaction fails to be consummated for any reason other than as described in the preceding sentence, First Commercial Bank shall return the $200,000 to the Company upon demand.

Benefit Plans

 

In the second quarter of 2012, it was determined that the Company has potential obligations related to the Company sponsored 401(k) plan.  The Company has not yet recorded this obligation as the amount cannot yet be reasonably estimated.  However, management does not believe the ultimate impact of the resolution will be material to its results of operations and expects this issue to be resolved before the end of 2012.

The loan matures on July 2, 2014.  Interest on the loan accrues on the principal balance thereof at an annual rate of the greater of (i) 6.0% per annum or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 4.0% per annum, and payments for the interest and a portion of the principal balance are payable monthly, commencing on August 1, 2012.  The entire outstanding balance of the loan, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is payable on July 2, 2014.  The loan is secured by a first mortgage on the real property and improvements constituting Glenview Health & Rehabilitation and guaranteed by AdCare.

 

Quail Creek Acquisition

 

On July 3, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of a 118-bed skilled nursing facility located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, pursuant to the previously announced Purchase and Sale Agreement, as amended, between the sellers and a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare, dated as of March 12, 2012, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,800,000.  In connection with the closing of this acquisition, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare entered into an assignment and assumption agreement pursuant to which it assumed the seller’s existing indebtedness under a loan agreement and indenture in an aggregate principal amount of $2,800,000.

 

The loan matures on August 27, 2016.  Interest on the loan accrues on the principal balance thereof at an annual rate of 10.25% per annum, and payments for the interest and a portion of the principal balance are payable monthly, commencing on August 27, 2012.  The entire outstanding balance of the loan, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is payable on August 27, 2016.  The loan is secured by a first mortgage on the real property and improvements constituting the facility.

 

Subordinated Convertible Notes

 

The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2012, with certain accredited investors signatory thereto (the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Buyers on July 2, 2012 an aggregate of $7,500,000 in principal amount of the Company’s 8% Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2015. The subordinated convertible notes bear interest at 8.0% per annum and such interest is payable quarterly in cash in arrears beginning on September 30, 2012.  The subordinated convertible notes mature on July 31, 2015.  The subordinated convertible notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company.

 

At any time on or after the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance of the subordinated convertible notes, the subordinated convertible notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the common stock at an initial conversion price equal to $4.17 per share, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, combination of shares, recapitalization and other similar events.

 

If at any time on or after the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance of the subordinated convertible notes, the weighted average price of the common stock for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds 200% of the conversion price of $4.17 and the average daily trading volume of the common stock during such 20 days exceeds 50,000 shares, then the Company may, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, redeem the subordinated convertible notes in cash at a redemption price equal to the sum of: (i) 100% of the principal amount being redeemed; plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on such principal.

 

On July 2, 2012, the Company and Cantone Asset Management LLC refinanced the two promissory notes issued by the Company in favor of Cantone Asset Management LLC in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000.  The promissory notes were canceled and terminated in exchange for the issuance of a convertible subordinated note with a $5,000,000 principal amount to Cantone Asset Management LLC.

 

In connection with the above subordinated convertible notes, the consulting arrangement with Cantone Research, Inc. was revised so as to provide for a certain monthly fee payable to Cantone Research, Inc. regardless of whether the Company and Cantone Asset Management LLC (or a related entity) agree to an additional financing arrangement. On July 2, 2012, under the terms of this revised arrangement, the Company issued 50,000 common shares and 100,000 warrants to Cantone Research, Inc.

Acquisitions

 

We have embarked on a strategy to grow our business through acquisitions and leases of senior care facilities.  During the first six months of 2012, we acquired six facilities (five skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility), bringing our total bed count to 4,427 at June 30, 2012.

 

·                   On December 30, 2011, we acquired a skilled nursing facility and an assisted living facility both located in Springfield, Ohio, for an aggregate adjusted purchase price of $12,412,000.  We obtained effective control and commenced operating these facilities on January 1, 2012.

 

·                   On March 30, 2012, we acquired three skilled nursing facilities located in Little Rock, Arkansas.  The total purchase price was $27,231,000.  We obtained effective control and operations commenced on April 1, 2012.

 

·                   On April 30, 2012, we acquired a skilled nursing facility located in Little Rock, Arkansas for an aggregate purchase price of $3,581,000.  We obtained effective control and operations commenced on June 1, 2012.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the following acquisitions were completed:

 

·                   On July 2, 2012 we acquired a skilled nursing facility in Glennville, Georgia for an aggregate purchase price of $8,240,000.  We obtained effective control and operations commenced on July 2, 2012.

 

·                   On July 2, 2012 we acquired a skilled nursing facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for an aggregate purchase price of $5,800,000.  We obtained effective control and operations commenced on July 3, 2012.

 

In addition, the following potential acquisitions have been announced during the six months ended June 30, 2012:

 

·                   On April 27, 2012, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with 1761 Pinewood Holdings, LLC to acquire a 96-bed skilled nursing facility located in Sumter, South Carolina for an aggregate purchase price of $5,500,000.    We expect the closing of the acquisition to occur on August 31, 2012.

 

·                   On March 14, 2012, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with F & F Ventures, LLC and Tulsa Christian Care, Inc., doing business as Companions Specialized Care Center to acquire a 121-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tulsa, Oklahoma for an aggregate purchase price of $5,750,000.  We expect the closing of the acquisition to occur in mid-August 2012.  Beginning April 1, 2012, we entered into a management agreement to operate the facility in the interim period. The Company has a variable interest in this arrangement but is not the primary beneficiary and thus consolidation of the results of operations is not required.

 

For information regarding purchase and sale agreements of facilities that have been entered into subsequent to June 30, 2012, see Note 16 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” section of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Table of Contents

 

The Company is currently evaluating potential acquisition opportunities in addition to those described above, and we continue to seek new opportunities to further our growth strategy.  No assurance is made that any of these potential acquisition opportunities will be determined to be appropriate for us or that we will complete any of such acquisitions on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

Segments

 

The Company reports its operations in three segments:  SNF, ALF and Corporate & Other.  The Company delivers services through wholly owned separate operating subsidiaries.  The SNF and ALF segments provide services to individuals needing long-term care in a nursing home or assisted living setting and management of those facilities.  The Corporate & Other segment engages in the management of facilities and accounting and IT services.  We evaluate financial performance and allocate resources primarily based on segment operating income (loss).  Segment operating results excludes interest expense and other non-operating income and expenses.  See Note 4 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” section of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

 

Skilled Nursing Facilities

 

We focus on two primary indicators in evaluating the financial performance in this segment.  Those indicators are facility occupancy and patient mix.  Facility occupancy is important because higher occupancy generally leads to higher revenues.  In addition, concentrating on increasing the number of Medicare covered admissions (the “patient mix”) helps in increasing revenues.  We continue our work towards maximizing the number of patients covered by Medicare where our operating margins are higher. We include commercial insurance covered admissions that are reimbursed at the same level as those covered by Medicare in our Medicare utilization percentages and analysis.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, revenue in our skilled nursing segment increased approximately $19,768,000 and $38,122,000, respectively, compared to June 30, 2011, as a result of acquisition growth.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, this segment had an income from operations of $5,404,000 and $8,494,000 respectively, as a result of optimization of occupancy and quality mix as well as expense controls.  We expect to continue to implement and refine strategies designed to sustain these goals.  Total assets increased $86,654,000 due to acquisitions made since June 30, 2011 and other building improvements.

Assisted Living Facilities

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, revenue in our ALF segment increased approximately $1,003,000 and $1,923,000, respectively, compared to June 30, 2011 as a result of increased revenue from acquisitions, an annual increase in rates charged to privately paying residents and increasing occupancy.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, this segment had income from operations of $630,000 and $1,324,000, respectively.  Total assets increased $7,853,000 primarily due to acquisitions since June 30, 2011 and other building improvements made during the last 12 months.

Residents of our assisted living facilities rely on their personal investments and wealth to pay for their stay.  Although many of the risks still remain, such as declines in market values of investments, depressed market for the sale of private homes, and adult children caring for their elderly at home, we have seen an increase in census.

 

Corporate & Other

 

We manage three skilled nursing facilities and one independent living campus for third party owners under management agreements that either are for a fixed monthly fee or for a percentage of revenue generated by the managed facility.  Depending on the type of management agreement, our revenues increase annually according to inflationary adjustments stipulated in our management agreements or they increase as the facility’s revenue increases for the management agreements that are based on a percentage of revenue.  This segment includes our corporate overhead expenses, which are made up of salaries of our senior management team members and various other corporate expenses, including, but not limited to, corporate office operating expenses, audit fees, legal fees and board activities.  Additionally, non-cash charges for compensation expense related to warrants, restricted stock and stock options are included in corporate overhead.  We do not allocate these expenses to the divisions or separate them from the management business for management review purposes.

Comparison for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

 

Patient Care Revenues - For the periods presented, total patient care revenues increased $20.8 million, or 61%.

 

Revenue in our SNF segment increased approximately $19,768,000 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily as a result of additional facilities acquired since June 2011.  In addition, census and quality mix improved existing facilities.  This segment had a net income from operations of $5,404,000 which is $3,631,000 higher compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of higher revenue due to acquisitions and improved reimbursement. We are seeking to increase facility occupancy and to increase the number of patients covered by Medicare.  We seek to continue to implement and refine strategies designed to achieve these goals.

 

Revenue in our ALF segment increased approximately $1,003,000 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of increased census and levels of care as well as the addition of one new facility in 2012 and one new facility in the fourth quarter of 2011.  This segment had income from operations of $630,000 which is $250,000 more than the same period in 2011 from increased occupancy and an annual increase in rates charged to residents of the facilities.

 

Management Revenue - For the periods presented, management revenues (net of eliminations) decreased $121,000, or 25%, as a result of fewer managed facilities.

Cost of Services — For the periods presented, cost of services was approximately $42,227,000 or 77.3% of patient care revenue compared to $27,104,000 or 80.0% of patient care revenue for the same period a year ago.  This increase in overall cost is the result of numerous acquisitions over the past 12 months. The improvement as percent of patient care revenue reflects the implementation of consolidated purchasing programs and other cost reduction efforts. In 2012, the Company removed the ability for employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation beyond the current calendar year.  As a result, vacation time previously accumulated must be used by the employee by December 31, 2012 or it will be forfeited.  Management has estimated the potential forfeitures and has adjusted the vacation accrual accordingly.

 

General and Administrative - For the three months ended June 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4.9 million in 2012 compared to $3.2 million in 2011, an increase of $1.7 million, or 55.6%. Performance-based incentive expense increased by $0.9 which is reflective of the improvement in the Company’s financial results. Wage and other employee related costs increased $0.4 million as a result of additional staffing needed to support the growth in operations.  The Company’s goal is to become better known in the financial market place has resulted in additional investor relations expenses of approximately $0.1 million.

Depreciation and Amortization - For the periods presented, depreciation and amortization increased $1,056,000.  The depreciation increase is directly related to acquisition activity that was not included in the 2011 results as it occurred in later periods. In addition, the acquisitions resulted in intangibles that are being amortized during the period.

 

Interest Expense, net - For the periods presented, interest expense, net increased $1,514,000, or 82%.  We have entered into numerous debt instruments in relation to our growth strategy for the acquisition of the facilities which began in the third quarter of 2010.  In addition, several of the arrangements are short term in nature resulting in higher interest rates than previously experienced and an increase in the amortization of deferred loan costs associated with the new debt agreements.

 

Acquisition Costs, net of Gains - For the three months ended June 30, 2012, acquisition costs, net of gains was an expense of $524,000, compared to $622,000 for the comparative period.  For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the total acquisition costs were legal fees directly related to acquisitions and other costs incurred on potential future acquisitions.

 

Derivative Gain/Loss - For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the derivative gain was $353,000, compared to a loss of $2,588,000 for the same period in 2011. The derivative is a product of a convertible debt instrument entered into during the third quarter of 2010.  The expense associated with the derivative increases as the stock price climbs, and conversely decreases as the stock price declines.  The price of the common stock declined during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, from March 31, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

We are seeking to increase facility occupancy and to increase the number of patients covered by Medicare.  We seek to continue to implement and refine strategies designed to achieve these goals.

 

Revenue in our ALF segment increased approximately $1,923,000 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of increased census and levels of care as well as the addition of one new facility in 2012 and one new facility in the fourth quarter of 2011.  This segment had income from operations of $1,324,000 which is $740,000 more than the same period in 2011 from increased occupancy and an annual increase in rates charged to residents of the facilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

There have been no significant changes during the three months ended June 30, 2012 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and use of estimates in our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation contained in the Annual Report except as noted below:

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Liquidity is the measure of the Company’s ability to have adequate cash or access to cash at all times in order to meet financial obligations when due, as well as to fund corporate expansion and other activities.  Historically, the Company has met its liquidity requirements through a combination of net cash flow from operations, debt from third party lenders and issuances of other debt and equity securities.

 

We have positive working capital of approximately $1,198,000 at June 30, 2012.  Our ability to sustain profitable operations is dependent on continued growth in revenues and controlling costs.

 

During the next twelve months, the Company believes it will require additional financing to satisfy its financial obligations and implement its expansion strategy.  The Company is currently exploring several financing alternatives and may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of additional debt or equity securities, although there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities on terms acceptable to it, or at all.  If the Company is unable to secure such additional financing, then the Company may be required to restructure its outstanding indebtedness and delay or modify its expansion plans.

The $500,000 note matures on December 30, 2016 and the $4,500,000 note matures on June 30, 2012.  Interest on the $500,000 note accrues at a rate of 6.5% per annum and interest on the $4,500,000 note accrues at a rate of (i) 6.5% per annum from January 1, 2012 to February 29, 2012; (ii) 8.5% per annum from March 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012; and (iii) 10.5% per annum from May 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

HUD Financing

Cantone Promissory Notes

 

On March 29, 2012, we issued an unsecured promissory note in favor of Cantone Asset Management LLC for an aggregate principal amount of $3,500,000.  The note matures on the earlier of: (i) October 1, 2012; or (ii) the date on which we shall receive proceeds, in an amount not less than $6,000,000, from a public offering or private placement of our common stock.

In connection with the issuance of the note, Cantone Research, Inc. agreed to provide us with certain consulting services for a monthly fee if the Company and Cantone Asset Management LLC (or an affiliated entity) do not agree to the terms of an additional financing arrangement pursuant to which it (or affiliated entity) would loan to us at least $4,000,000 for a four-year term.

 

In April 2012, the Company issued a promissory note to Cantone Asset Management LLC in the amount of $1,500,000.  The promissory note bears interest at 10% per annum and matures in October 2012.  The interest rate increases 1% each month beginning in July 2012 through October 2012.  Deferred financing costs incurred on the loan amounted to approximately $78,000 and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. We may prepay the note in whole or in part, at any time, without notice or penalty; provided, however, if the note is prepaid prior to October 1, 2012, then we shall continue to pay interest on the note through such date.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Not required.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated  the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have been materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Part II.  Other Information

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

We are party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and are subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that our services have resulted in injury or death to the residents of our facilities and claims related to employment, staffing requirements and commercial matters. Although we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these matters, there can be no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We operate in an industry that is extremely regulated. As such, in the ordinary course of business, we are continuously subject to state and federal regulatory scrutiny, supervision and control. Such regulatory scrutiny often includes inquiries, investigations, examinations, audits, site visits and surveys, some of which are non-routine. In addition to being subject to direct regulatory oversight of state and federal regulatory agencies, our industry is frequently subject to the regulatory practices, which could subject us to civil, administrative or criminal fines, penalties or restitutionary relief, and reimbursement authorities could also seek the suspension or exclusion of the provider or individual from participation in their program. We believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of long-term care providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Adverse determinations in legal proceedings or governmental investigations against or involving us, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

 

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and trading price of our common stock. Please refer to our Annual Report for additional information concerning these and other uncertainties that could negatively impact the Company.

Pursuant to the agreement, effective as of July 1, 2012, AdCare will continue to employ Mr. Brew as Chief Financial Officer, and additionally as Senior Vice President and Treasurer, on the following terms: (i) AdCare will pay to Mr. Brew an annual base salary of $235,000, with such salary to increase to $250,000 effective January 1, 2013 and to be subject to review on an annual basis thereafter; (ii) Mr. Brew will be eligible to earn an annual bonus with a target amount equal to 75% of his annual salary, based on reasonably expected performance; (iii) Mr. Brew will be eligible to receive grants of equity compensation at the discretion of AdCare’s Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of AdCare (the “Compensation Committee”); (iv) Mr. Brew shall be entitled to participate in life insurance, hospitalization and medical insurance, retirement and other benefits as are presently and may hereafter be provided to other executive officers of AdCare; and (v) if Mr. Brew resigns his employment for “good reason” or AdCare terminates Mr. Brew’s employment without “cause”, Mr. Brew or his successors and assigns, shall be entitled to severance pay in an amount equal to the sum of his annual salary plus target bonus, payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for twelve (12) months after the termination date, plus if such termination occurs within three (3) months before or twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a “change in control” then Mr. Brew is entitled to an additional payment equal to the sum of annual salary plus target bonus, payable at least monthly in substantially equal installments over a period not to exceed six (6) months which period shall begin immediately after the twelve (12) months following the termination date. For the period for which severance pay is paid, Mr. Brew and his family are entitled to continue to be covered under all employee benefit plans of AdCare under which executive officers of AdCare are covered and at the same cost and under the same terms and conditions as apply to executive officers, provided, however, that if AdCare is unable under applicable law or the insurer will not permit the Mr. Brew to be covered under any such plan, AdCare is required to pay Mr. Brew an amount each month during the severance period equal to AdCare’s cost of coverage for similarly situated executive officers. The agreement contains a customary covenant protecting AdCare’s confidential information, as well as customary non-compete and non-solicitation covenants in which Mr. Brew has agreed not to compete with, or solicit employees of, AdCare during the term of the employment agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter.

 

 For purposes of the above employment agreement, the following terms have the following meanings: (i) resignation for “good reason” means the officer’s resignation within ninety (90) days following AdCare’s failure to cure a material breach of the agreement within thirty (30) days after the officer gives AdCare written notice of such breach within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such breach; (ii) “cause” means the officer’s fraud, dishonesty, willful misconduct, or gross negligence in his performance of his duties, or the officer’s conviction for a crime of moral turpitude, or material breach by the officer of the agreement which the officer fails to cure within thirty (30) days after AdCare gives the officer written notice of such breach; (iii) “change in control” means one or more sales or dispositions, within a twelve (12) month period, of assets representing a majority of the value of the assets of AdCare or the acquisition (whether by purchase or through a merger or otherwise) of common stock of AdCare immediately following which the holders of common stock of AdCare immediately prior to such acquisition cease to own directly or indirectly common stock of AdCare or its legal successor representing more than fifth percent (50%) of the voting power of the common stock of AdCare or its legal successor.

The Survey shall be sufficient to enable the title insurer to delete the general exception relating to survey matters.

 

(C)                               Prior to Closing, Purchase may obtain an environmental assessment of the Property (the “Environmental Report”). Should the Environmental Report disclose environmental conditions unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall so notify Seller in writing before Closing and Seller shall be given a reasonable time in which to correct any such conditions. If Seller fails to correct such conditions within such time period, Purchaser may elect, as its sole remedy, to either (i) grant Seller additional time within which to cure any condition, if Seller requests such additional time; or (ii) accept the Property in its existing condition; or (iii) terminate this Agreement and have returned to Purchaser all Earnest Money.

ARTICLE I

 

EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

 

1.1            Method of Exercise .

 

(a)            To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at the Warrant Agency: (i) this Warrant; (ii) a written notice, substantially in the form of the subscription notice attached hereto as Annex 1 , of such Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased, the denominations of the share certificate or certificates desired and the name or names of the Eligible Holder(s) in which such certificates are to be registered (the “ Exercise Notice ”); and (iii) payment of the Exercise Price with respect to such shares of Common Stock. Such payment may be made, at the option of the Holder, by cash, money order, certified or bank cashier’s check or wire transfer.

 



 

(b)            The Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with an Exercise Notice delivered pursuant to Section 1.1(a), a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Exercise Notice. The share certificate or certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in such Exercise Notice (or, if such Exercise Notice shall not specify denominations, one certificate shall be issued) and shall be issued in the name of the Holder or such other name or names of Eligible Holder(s) as shall be designated in such Exercise Notice. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and such Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant and for all purposes to have become holders of record of such shares, as of the date the Exercise Notice is received by the Company. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.  The Company shall pay all expenses payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of share certificates and new Warrants (other than transfer or similar taxes in connection with the transfer of securities), except that, if share certificates or new Warrants shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the Holder at the time of delivering the aforementioned notice or promptly upon receipt of a written request of the Company for payment.

 

(c)            If this Warrant shall be surrendered for exercise within any period during which the transfer books for shares of the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are closed for any purpose, then the Company shall not be required to make delivery of certificates for the Common Stock purchasable upon such exercise until the date of the reopening of said transfer books.

 

1.2            Shares To Be Fully Paid and Nonassessable .   All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

1.3            No Fractional Shares To Be Issued .   The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may only elect to exercise this Warrant with respect to a whole number of shares of the Common Stock.

 

1.4            Securities Laws; Share Legend .   The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees that this Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be disposed of only in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any successor Federal statue, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “ Securities Act ”). In addition to any other legend which the Company may deem advisable under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are registered for resale under the Securities Act, all certificates representing shares of Common Stock (as well as any other securities issued hereunder in respect of any such shares) issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be endorsed as follows:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) selected by the Holder of such certificate and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.

 

1.5            Exercise Limitations .   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1.1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, the Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person or entity acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section 1.5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1.5 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be made in good faith by the Company in consultation with the Holder. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 1.5 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1.5 to correct this Section 1.5 (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 1.5 shall apply to all Eligible Holders of this Warrant.

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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s option and in Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s interest hereunder is terminated by the payment and performance of all of Mortgagor’s 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

 

4



 

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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s 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,

 

5



 

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 attorney’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

6



 

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 Mortgagee’s 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 architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s 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 attorney’s 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)                                  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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s, 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

8



 

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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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.  Notwithstanding the above, Mortgagee consents to a second lien from Mortgagor to Mortgagee in the principal amount of $1,267,000.00 which shall subsequently be replaced by a subordinate lien in favor of Economic Development Corporation of Fulton County in the principal amount of $1,304,000.00.

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s option, may be foreclosed and the security sold in the same proceedings, and all of the Premises (both realty and personalty) may, at Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

11



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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,

 

12



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 .  Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

13



 

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 Mortgagor’s fiscal years, an income statement on the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property, a complete and accurate copy of Mortgagor’s 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

 

14



 

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 Georgia, except and only to the extent of procedural matters related to the creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of Mortgagee’s 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 Georgia.

 

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 Mortgagor’s 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.

 

15



 

(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.

(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 Mortgagor’s knowledge, threatened against the Mortgaged Property.  There is no litigation pending or, to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge, threatened against Mortgagor, which might, so far as Mortgagor can now reasonably foresee, have a material adverse effect on Mortgagor’s 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.

16



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Mortgagor, Mortgagor’s successors or assigns or of any other lienholders or guarantors, and without liability on Mortgagee’s 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.

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 attorney’s 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

 

21



 

pursuant to any such notice.  Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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.

 

22



 

(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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, Mortgagee’s 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.  Mortgagor’s statutory rights of reinstatement, if any, are expressly conditioned upon Mortgagor’s 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

 

23



 

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.

(e)            So far as is known to Borrower, there exists no default or event of default or any state of facts which would, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, constitute a default or event of default on the part of Borrower or by any Tenant under the terms of any of the Leases;

 

(f)             Neither the execution and delivery of this Assignment or any of the Leases, the performance of each and every covenant of Borrower under this Assignment and the Leases, nor the meeting of each and every condition contained in this Assignment, conflicts with, or constitutes a breach or default under any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which Borrower is a party, or any law, ordinance, administrative regulation or court decree which is applicable to Borrower;

 

(g)            No action has been brought or, so far as is known to Borrower, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Borrower to execute this Assignment and perform all of Borrower’s obligations contained in this Assignment and in the Leases;

SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This Security Agreement (hereinafter called “Agreement”) is between MT. V PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC (the “Debtor”) and METRO CITY BANK (hereinafter called “Secured Party”).

 

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 One Million Eight Hundred Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,810,000.00) (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 Debtor’s signature below is the address of Debtor’s chief executive office or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtor’s residence.  If the Collateral is not located at Debtor’s address appearing below, it will be located at: 706 Oak Grove Street, Mountain View, Arkansas 72560.

 

(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: 706 Oak Grove Street, Mountain View, Arkansas 72560.

 

(c)            Debtor will give Secured Party sixty (60) days prior written notice of any change in (i) Debtor’s chief executive office (or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtor’s residence), the location of the Collateral or the location of the records described above, or (ii) the ownership of Debtor’s business, (iii) the principals responsible for the management of Debtor’s business, (iv) Debtor’s corporate structure or identity, or (v) Debtor’s name or trade name, or prior to commencing to use an assumed name not set forth in this Agreement.  Lender acknowledges that MOUNTAIN VIEW NURSING, LLC will register or has registered the trade name “Stone County Nursing and Rehab” 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

 

2



 

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 Party’s 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 Debtor’s fiscal years, a complete and accurate copy of Debtor’s 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.

 

(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 Party’s 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.

 

3



 

(l)             Debtor hereby agrees to faithfully preserve and protect Secured Party’s 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 Debtor’s 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;

 

(c)            The suspension of business, insolvency, failure generally to pay debts as they became due, or the commission of any act constituting or resulting in a business failure, in each case on the part of Debtor’s business; the concealment or removal of any substantial portion of Debtor’s property with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any one or more creditors, or the making of any other transfer which is fraudulent or otherwise voidable under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal or state law; the existence or creation of any lien, including without limitation any tax or judgment lien, upon the Collateral or any substantial part of Debtor’s property; an assignment for the benefit of creditors; the commencement of any proceedings by or against Debtor (under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) seeking to adjudicate if 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 Debtor or for the Collateral or a substantial part of the property of Debtor; or the institution by Debtor or any other person or entity of any liquidation, dissolution or reorganization proceedings with respect to Debtor;

 

(d)            The failure to effectively and promptly discharge, stay or indemnify against, to Secured Party’s satisfaction, any lien or attachment against any of Debtor’s property or the Collateral;

 

4



 

(e)            Any representation or warranty contained herein or in any other document delivered by or on behalf of Debtor to Secured Party shall be false or misleading when made;

 

(f)             If Secured Party, in good faith, believes the prospect of payment secured by this Agreement is impaired, or believes that any of the Collateral is in danger of loss, misuse, seizure or confiscation;

 

(g)            Any guaranty of the obligations described herein ceases to be effective, except pursuant to a written release from Secured Party, or any guarantor denies liability thereunder, or one of the events described in Paragraph 3(c) hereof occurs with respect to any guarantor, or any default occurs under any such guaranty;

(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.

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 MT. V PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC (hereinafter called “Obligor”), by METRO CITY 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 principal sum of One Million Eight Hundred Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,810,000.00) (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, Guarantor’s promise is made for the benefit of Guarantor’s marital community.

 

5.              Guarantor agrees that the occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under this Guaranty:  (a) the failure of Guarantor to perform or observe any obligation under this Guaranty or (b) the death, incompetency, dissolution or insolvency of Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities, or (c) the inability of Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities to pay debts as they mature, or (d) an assignment by Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities for the benefit of creditors, or (e) the institution of any proceeding by or against Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities (under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian for itself or for all or a substantial part of its property unless such petition and the case or proceeding initiated thereby are dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date of such filing, or (f) the institution by Guarantor or any other person or entity of any liquidation, dissolution or reorganization proceedings with respect to Guarantor, or (g) the default by Obligor under any other agreement or document concerning or relating to the Liabilities, or (h) the default by Guarantor under the terms of any other obligation of Guarantor to Lender, or (i) any representation or warranty contained herein or in any other document delivered by or on behalf of Guarantor or Obligor to Lender shall be false or misleading in any material respect, or (j) there shall be a default or event of default under any other agreement or document securing or guaranteeing any of the obligations secured by this Guaranty. Upon and after the occurrence of a default hereunder, the Liabilities shall be automatically accelerated and shall become immediately due and payable by Guarantor, or Guarantor’s 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.

 

2



 

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 Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s 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.

 

3



 

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 Obligor’s 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 Guarantor’s 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 Lender’s 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.

 

4



 

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 GEORGIA AND/OR OHIO, EXCEPT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF LENDER’S 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 THE NOTE AND THIS GUARANTY HAVE BEEN APPLIED FOR, CONSIDERED, APPROVED AND MADE, AND ALL NECESSARY LOAN DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s 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,

 

5



 

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 attorney’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

6



 

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 Mortgagee’s 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 architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s 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 attorney’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s, 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

8



 

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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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.  Notwithstanding the above, Mortgagee consents to a first lien in favor of Mortgagee from Mortgagor in the principal amount of $1,810,000.00.

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s option, may be foreclosed and the security sold in the same proceedings, and all of the Premises (both realty and personalty) may, at Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

11



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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,

 

12



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 .  Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s fiscal years, an income statement on the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property, a complete and accurate copy of Mortgagor’s 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

 

14



 

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 Georgia, except and only to the extent of procedural matters related to the creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of Mortgagee’s 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 Georgia.

 

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 Mortgagor’s 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.

 

15



 

(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.

(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 Mortgagor’s knowledge, threatened against the Mortgaged Property.  There is no litigation pending or, to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge, threatened against Mortgagor, which might, so far as Mortgagor can now reasonably foresee, have a material adverse effect on Mortgagor’s 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.

(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 finder’s fee as a result of the making of any loan to Mortgagor by Mortgagee.

 

16



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Mortgagor, Mortgagor’s successors or assigns or of any other lienholders or guarantors, and without liability on Mortgagee’s 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

 

17



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 attorney’s 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

 

21



 

pursuant to any such notice.  Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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.

 

22



 

(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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, Mortgagee’s 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.  Mortgagor’s statutory rights of reinstatement, if any, are expressly conditioned upon Mortgagor’s 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

 

23

(f)            Neither the execution and delivery of this Assignment or any of the Leases, the performance of each and every covenant of Borrower under this Assignment and the Leases, nor the meeting of each and every condition contained in this Assignment, conflicts with, or constitutes a breach or default under any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which Borrower is a party, or any law, ordinance, administrative regulation or court decree which is applicable to Borrower;

 

(g)           No action has been brought or, so far as is known to Borrower, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Borrower to execute this Assignment and perform all of Borrower’s obligations contained in this Assignment and in the Leases;

This Security Agreement (hereinafter called “Agreement”) is between MT. V PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC (the “Debtor”) and METRO CITY BANK (hereinafter called “Secured Party”).

 

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 One Million Two Hundred Sixty-Seven Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,267,000.00) (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 Debtor’s signature below is the address of Debtor’s chief executive office or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtor’s residence.  If the Collateral is not located at Debtor’s address appearing below, it will be located at: 706 Oak Grove Street, Mountain View, Arkansas 72560.

 

(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: 706 Oak Grove Street, Mountain View, Arkansas 72560.

 

(c)            Debtor will give Secured Party sixty (60) days prior written notice of any change in (i) Debtor’s chief executive office (or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtor’s residence), the location of the Collateral or the location of the records described above, or (ii) the ownership of Debtor’s business, (iii) the principals responsible for the management of Debtor’s business, (iv) Debtor’s corporate structure or identity, or (v) Debtor’s name or trade name, or prior to commencing to use an assumed name not set forth in this Agreement.  Lender acknowledges that MOUNTAIN VIEW NURSING, LLC will register or has registered the trade name “Stone County Nursing and Rehab” 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 Party’s 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 Debtor’s fiscal years, a complete and accurate copy of Debtor’s 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.

 

(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 Party’s 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 Party’s 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 Debtor’s 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.

(a)            The failure of Debtor to make any payment on any indebtedness to Secured Party whether pursuant to the Note or any other obligation to Secured Party, or a default in any provision of the Note or any other agreement or document secured hereby or any other encumbrance or agreement securing the Note, which is not cured within any applicable cure period;

 

(b)            The breach of or failure to perform promptly any obligation or covenant set forth in this Agreement, or the breach or the failure to perform promptly any obligation or covenant set forth in the Note or any other agreement secured hereby or securing the Note, which is not cured within any applicable cure period;

(d)            The failure to effectively and promptly discharge, stay or indemnify against, to Secured Party’s satisfaction, any lien or attachment against any of Debtor’s property or the Collateral;

(e)            Any representation or warranty contained herein or in any other document delivered by or on behalf of Debtor to Secured Party shall be false or misleading when made;

 

(f)             If Secured Party, in good faith, believes the prospect of payment secured by this Agreement is impaired, or believes that any of the Collateral is in danger of loss, misuse, seizure or confiscation;

 

(g)            Any guaranty of the obligations described herein ceases to be effective, except pursuant to a written release from Secured Party, or any guarantor denies liability thereunder, or one of the events described in Paragraph 3(c) hereof occurs with respect to any guarantor, or any default occurs under any such guaranty;

 

(h)            If Debtor is a corporation, the occurrence of any of the following without the Secured Party’s written consent: the sale, pledge or assignment by the shareholders of Debtor of any shares of stock of Debtor; the merger or consolidation of Debtor with another company or entity; the change of the Debtor’s name; the liquidation of Debtor; or the issuance by Debtor of any new stock or warrants, or the transfer of issued and outstanding treasury stock or warrants of Debtor.  If Debtor is a limited liability company, the sale, pledge, transfer or assignment of any of the Managers or members of Debtor of any of their interest in Debtor, or the withdrawal or the admittance of any Managers into Debtor without the prior written consent of Secured Party.  If Debtor is a partnership or joint venture, the occurrence of any of the following without Secured Party’s written consent: the sale, pledge, transfer or assignment by any of the partners or joint ventures of Debtor of any of their partnership or joint venture interest in Debtor; the withdrawal of any general partner(s) or joint venturer(s); or the admittance of any additional partner(s) or joint venturer(s) into Debtor;

 

(i)             The occurrence of any default, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, or event of default under any other document or agreement securing or guaranteeing any of the obligations secured by the Agreement; or the occurrence of any default, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any or event of default due to any material indebtedness or obligation of Debtor to any third party that causes such third party to declare such indebtedness or other obligation due prior to its scheduled date of maturity; or

 

(j)       The occurrence of any default, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, or event of default under or with respect to any obligation of Debtor to any affiliate of Secured Party (for the purposes of this subparagraph, “affiliate” is defined as METRO CITY BANK or any entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by METRO CITY BANK).

 

4.              Remedies.

 

(a)            Upon the occurrence of any default under this Agreement, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, Secured Party is authorized in its discretion to declare any or all of the indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without demand

(b)            Debtor agrees that all of the Collateral and all of the other security which may be granted to Secured Party in connection with the obligations secured hereby constitute equal security for all of the obligations secured hereby, and agrees that Secured Party shall be entitled to sell, retain or otherwise deal with any or all of the Collateral, in any order or simultaneously as Secured Party shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, free of any requirement for the marshaling of assets or other restriction upon Secured Party in dealing with the Collateral or such other security.

 

(c)            Upon the occurrence of any default under this Agreement, after the expiration of all cure periods, if any, Debtor hereby irrevocably constitute and appoints Secured Party (and any employee or agent of Secured Party) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, in Secured Party’s name or Debtor’s name or otherwise, for Secured Party’s sole use and benefit, at Debtor’s cost and expense, to exercise the following powers with respect to the Collateral:

2.              To receive, take, endorse Debtor’s name on, assign and deliver any checks, notes, drafts, documents or other instruments taken or received by Secured Party in connection with the Collateral;

 

3.              To settle, compromise, prosecute, or defend any action or proceeding with respect to the Collateral;

6



 

7.              To notify account debtors of Secured Party’s security interest in Debtor’s accounts and to instruct them to make payment directly to Secured Party.

 

(d)            Debtor agrees that the powers of attorney granted herein are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until full, final and irrevocable payment and performance of the indebtedness secured hereby; and that neither Secured Party nor any officer, director, employee or agent of Secured Party shall be liable for any act or omission, or for any mistake or error of judgment, in connection with any such powers.

 

(e)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise any such powers, or to collect any amount due on the Collateral, to realize on the Collateral, to keep the Collateral, to make any presentment, demand or notice of protest in connection with the Collateral, or to perform any other act relating to the enforcement, collection or protection of the Collateral.

 

(f)             This Agreement shall not prejudice the right of Secured Party at its option to enforce the collection of any indebtedness secured hereby or any other instrument executed in connection with this transaction, by suit or in any other lawful manner.  No right or remedy is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but every such right or remedy shall be cumulative to every other right or remedy herein or conferred in any other agreement or document for the benefit of Secured Party, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

 

(g)            Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement may be taken by Secured Party either in Debtor’s name or in Secured Party’s name, as Secured Party may deem necessary.

 

(h)            All rights of marshaling of assets of Debtor, including any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived by Debtor.

 

5.                                        Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver .

 

(a)            No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Secured Party hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.  Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Secured Party, may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken non-judicial proceedings, or both.

 

(b)            No delay or omission of Secured Party to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or

 

7



 

an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Secured Party.

 

6.                                        Further Assurances; Certain Waivers .

 

(a)            Debtor agrees that, from time to time, at the expense of Debtor, Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor shall:  (i) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to Secured Party such note or instrument duly endorsed (without recourse) and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party; and (ii) execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby.

 

(b)            Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor where permitted by law.  Copies of any such statement or amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to Debtor.

 

(c)            Debtor shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees or re-filing, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement supplemental hereto and any instruments of further assurance.

 

(d)            Debtor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law (i) all rights under any law limiting remedies, including recovery of a deficiency, under an obligation secured by a mortgage on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in the mortgage, 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

 

8



 

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 Georgia, except and only to the extent of procedural matters related to the perfection and enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies against the 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 Georgia.

 

(c)            DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION UNDER OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL SECURED PARTY BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

(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 MT. V PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC (hereinafter called “Obligor”), by METRO CITY BANK (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns, called “Lender”), the undersigned, Mountain View Nursing, LLC, (hereinafter called “Guarantor”), hereby, jointly and severally if more than one, unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment, observance and performance when due, whether at the stated time, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of Obligor to Lender, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, whether or not of the same or similar class or of like kind to any indebtedness incurred contemporaneously with the execution of this Guaranty, and whether now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, including without limitation, the following:

 

(a)           Any and all amounts owed by Obligor under, in connection with, and/or pursuant to the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Term Note of even date herewith, in the original principal sum of One Million Two Hundred Sixty-Seven Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,267,000.00) (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, Guarantor’s promise is made for the benefit of Guarantor’s marital community.

 

5.             Guarantor agrees that the occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under this Guaranty:  (a) the failure of Guarantor to perform or observe any obligation under this Guaranty or (b) the death, incompetency, dissolution or insolvency of Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities, or (c) the inability of Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities to pay debts as they mature, or (d) an assignment by Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities for the benefit of creditors, or (e) the institution of any proceeding by or against Obligor or Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities (under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian for itself or for all or a substantial part of its property unless such petition and the case or proceeding initiated thereby are dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date of such filing, or (f) the institution by Guarantor or any other person or entity of any liquidation, dissolution or reorganization proceedings with respect to Guarantor, or (g) the default by Obligor under any other agreement or document concerning or relating to the Liabilities, or (h) the default by Guarantor under the terms of any other obligation of Guarantor to Lender, or (i) any representation or warranty contained herein or in any other document delivered by or on behalf of Guarantor or Obligor to Lender shall be false or misleading in any material respect, or (j) there shall be a default or event of default under any other agreement or document securing or guaranteeing any of the obligations secured by this Guaranty. Upon and after the occurrence of a default hereunder, the Liabilities shall be automatically accelerated and shall become immediately due and payable by Guarantor, or Guarantor’s 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.

 

2



 

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 Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s 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.

 

3



 

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 Obligor’s 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 Guarantor’s 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 Lender’s 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.

 

4



 

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 GEORGIA, EXCEPT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF LENDER’S 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 THE NOTE AND THIS GUARANTY HAVE BEEN APPLIED FOR, CONSIDERED, APPROVED AND MADE, AND ALL NECESSARY LOAN DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

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 Promissory Note of even date herewith, in the original principal sum of One Million Three Hundred Four Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,304,000.00) (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 Debtor’s signature below is the address of Debtor’s chief executive office or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtor’s residence.  If the Collateral is not located at Debtor’s address appearing below, it will be located at 706 Oak Grove Street, Mountain View, Arkansas 72560 or wherever located.

 

(b)                                  If Debtor does not keep the records concerning the Collateral and concerning accounts, general intangibles, mobile goods and contract rights at the address appearing below, these records will be located at: 706 Oak Grove Street, Mountain View, Arkansas 72560 or wherever located.

 

(c)                                   Debtor will give Secured Party sixty (60) days prior written notice of any change in (i) Debtor’s chief executive office (or, if Debtor has no place of business, Debtor’s residence), the location of the Collateral or the location of the records described above, or (ii) the ownership of Debtor’s business, (iii) the principals responsible for the management of Debtor’s business, (iv) Debtor’s corporate structure or identity, or (v) Debtor’s name or trade name, or prior to commencing to use an assumed name not set forth in this Agreement.  Lender acknowledges that MOUNTAIN VIEW NURSING, LLC will register or has registered the trade name “Stone County Nursing and Rehab” and will operate the business under such name.

(d)                                  If Debtor does not have a record interest in the real estate described above, the record owner is indicated on the attached Schedule 2.

 

(e)                                   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.

 

(f)                                     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 Party’s 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.

 

(g)                                  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 Party’s 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.

 

(h)                                  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.

 

(i)                                      Debtor agrees to pay to Secured Party 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.

 

(j)                                      Debtor hereby agrees to faithfully preserve and protect Secured Party’s 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 Debtor’s 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 and upon prior written notice.

 

(k)                                   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 one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, a compiled financial statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and concurrently therewith a certificate to the effect that such Debtor is not aware of any condition or event which constitutes a default under this Agreement.

5.                                        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

 

7



 

without the signature of Debtor where permitted by law.  Copies of any such statement or amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to Debtor.

 

(c)                                   Debtor shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees or re-filing, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement supplemental hereto and any instruments of further assurance.

 

(d)                                  Debtor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law (i) all rights under any law limiting remedies, including recovery of a deficiency, under an obligation secured by a mortgage on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in the mortgage, 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.

 

6.                                        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 Georgia, except and only to the extent of procedural matters related to the perfection and enforcement of Lender’s 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 Georgia.

(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.

(k)                                   THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

 

(l)                                      SBA Loan.  The Loan secured by this lien was made under a United States Small Business Administration (SBA) nationwide program which uses tax dollars to assist small business owners.  If the United States is seeking to enforce this document, then under SBA regulations:

 

a)                                       When SBA is the holder of the Note, this document and all documents evidencing or securing this Loan will be construed in accordance with federal law.

3



 

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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s option and in Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s interest hereunder is terminated by the payment and performance of all of Mortgagor’s 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

 

4



 

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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s 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,

 

5



 

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 attorney’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s 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 attorney’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s, 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

8



 

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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Mortgagee acknowledges a superior lien in favor of Metro City Bank in the amount of $1,810,000.00.

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s option, may be foreclosed and the security sold in the same proceedings, and all of the Premises (both realty and personalty) may, at Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

11



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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,

 

12



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 .  Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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

 

13



 

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 120 days after the end of each of Mortgagor’s fiscal years, an income statement on the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property, a complete and accurate copy of Mortgagor’s 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

 

14



 

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 Georgia, except and only to the extent of procedural matters related to the creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of Mortgagee’s 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 Georgia.

 

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 Mortgagor’s 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.

 

15



 

(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.

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Mortgagor, Mortgagor’s successors or assigns or of any other lienholders or guarantors, and without liability on Mortgagee’s 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

 

17



 

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 Mortgagor’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 attorney’s 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.

C.2           Remedies Upon Default .  At any time after a Default hereunder, Mortgagee may, at its option, declare all indebtedness secured by this Mortgage immediately due and payable, and collectible without notice, regardless of maturity, and irrespective of whether Mortgagee exercises such option, and regardless of (i) Mortgagee’s delay in exercising such option, (ii) Mortgagee’s failure to exercise such option on the occasion of any prior Default  or (iii) the adequacy of Mortgagee’s security, Mortgagee may, at its option and in its sole discretion, without prior notice or demand to or upon Mortgagor, do any one or more of the following:

 

(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

 

21



 

pursuant to any such notice.  Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s 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.

 

22



 

(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 Mortgagee’s 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 Mortgagee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, Mortgagee’s 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.  Mortgagor’s statutory rights of reinstatement, if any, are expressly conditioned upon Mortgagor’s 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

 

23



 

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.

 

24



 

C.9.          SBA Loan .   The Loan secured by this lien was made under a United States Small Business Administration (SBA) nationwide program which uses tax dollars to assist small business owners.  If the United States is seeking to enforce this document, then under SBA regulations:

 

a)              When SBA is the holder of the Note, this document and all documents evidencing or securing this Loan will be construed in accordance with federal law.

 

b)             Lender or SBA may use local or state procedures for purposes such as filing papers, recording documents, giving notice, foreclosing liens, and other purposes.  By using these procedures, SBA does not waive any federal immunity from local or state control, penalty, tax or liability.  No Borrower or Guarantor may claim or assert against SBA any local or state law to deny any obligation of Borrower, or defend any claim of SBA with respect to this Loan.

 

c)              Any clause in this document requiring arbitration is not enforceable when SBA is the holder of the Note secured by this instrument.

(iii)                                Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time make any Distribution prior time that Operator has achieved a debt service coverage ratio calculated in accordance with Section 7.14 of this Agreement for two consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after September 30, 2012, and Borrower has delivered to Lender financial statements and compliance certificates as required by Section 7.4 of this Agreement demonstrating that such ratios have been achieved.

 

(iv)                               After the condition set forth in subparagraph (iii) above has been satisfied, Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time make any Distribution unless the

 

25



 

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined below) for the Test Period (as defined below) was not less than 1.05 to 1.00.  For such purpose, the term Test Period shall mean (A) until the Loan has been outstanding for 12 full calendar months, the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of a Distribution, and (B) thereafter, the 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of a Distribution.

(ii)                                   the sum of the amounts of the following for Operator for such period: (A) Debt Service, plus (B) Rental Expense, plus (C) Distributions, other than any amounts which were treated as an expense for accounting purposes.

7.12                            Restrictions on Transfer .

 

(a)                                   Borrower shall not effect, suffer or permit any Prohibited Transfer.  Any conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) of any of the following properties or interests shall constitute a Prohibited Transfer :

 

(i)                                      The Project or any part thereof or interest therein, excepting only sales or other dispositions of collateral for the Loan no longer useful in connection with the operation of the Project, provided that prior to the sale or other disposition thereof, such collateral has been replaced by collateral of at least equal value and utility and which is subject to the lien of the Deed to Secure Debt with the same priority as with respect to the original collateral;

 

(ii)                                   Any shares of capital stock of a corporate Borrower, or a corporation which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in Borrower (other than the shares of capital stock of a corporate trustee or a corporation whose stock is publicly traded on a national securities exchange or on the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System);

 

26



 

(iii)                                All or any part of the membership interests in a limited liability company Borrower, or a limited liability company which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in Borrower;

 

(iv)                               All or any part of the general partner or the limited partner interest, as the case may be, of a partnership or limited partnership Borrower, or a partnership or limited partnership which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in Borrower;

 

(v)                                  If there shall be any change in Control (by way of transfers of stock, partnership or member interests or otherwise) in any partner, member, manager or shareholder, as applicable, which directly or indirectly Controls the day to day operations and management of Borrower or any Guarantor that is not a natural person and/or owns a Controlling interest in Borrower or any such Guarantor; provided, however, that this subparagraph shall not apply to AdCare; or

 

(vi)                               If any Guarantor who is a natural person shall die or be declared a legal incompetent;

 

in each case whether any such conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, encumbrance or alienation is effected directly, indirectly (including the nominee agreement), voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) liens securing obligations to Lender, (ii) the lien of current taxes and assessments not in default, (iii) any transfers of the Project, or part thereof, or interest therein, or any shares of stock or partnership or limited liability company interests, as the case may be, by or on behalf of an owner thereof who is deceased or declared judicially incompetent, to such owner’s heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators, estate or personal representatives, (iv) the Lease, or (v) Permitted Exceptions.

 

(b)                                  In determining whether or not to make the Loan, Lender evaluated the background and experience of Borrower and its members in owning and operating property such as the Project, found it acceptable and relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of maintainin g the value of the Project.  Borrower and its members are well experienced in borrowing money and owning and operating property such as the Project, were ably represented by a licensed attorney at law in the negotiation and documentation of the Loan and bargained at arm’s length and without duress of any kind for all of the terms and conditions of the Loan, including this provision.  Borrower recognizes that Lender is entitled to keep its loan portfolio at current interest rates by either making new loans at such rates or collecting assumption fees and/or increasing the interest rate on a loan, the security for which is purchased by a party other than the original Borrower.  Borrower further recognizes that any further junior financing placed upon the Project (a) may divert funds which would otherwise be used to pay the Note; (b) could result in acceleration and foreclosure by any such junior encumbrancer which would force Lender to take measures and incur expenses to protect its security; (c) would detract from the value of the Project should Lender come into possession thereof with the intention of selling same; and (d) would impair Lender’s right to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as a foreclosure by Lender would be necessary to clear the title to the Project.  In accordance with the foregoing and for the purposes of (i) protecting Lender’s security, both of repayment and of

 

27



 

value of the Project; (ii) giving Lender the full benefit of its bargain and contract with Borrower; (iii) allowing Lender to raise the interest rate and collect assumption fees; and (iv) keeping the Project free of subordinate financing liens, Borrower agrees that if this Section is deemed a restraint on alienation, that it is a reasonable one.

 

7.13                            Leasing, Operation and Management of Project .

 

(a)                                   The Project shall at all times be owned by Borrower and leased to Operator under the Lease (with the result that Borrower shall not operate the Facility).  Borrower shall not agree or consent to or suffer or permit any modification, amendment or termination of the Lease, and shall not suffer or permit any Event of Default on the part of Borrower to exist at any time under the Lease.

 

(b)                                  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that the Facility shall at all times be operated as a skilled nursing facility under the management of Operator.

(ii)                                   the sum of the amounts of the following for AdCare for such year: (A) Debt Service, plus (B) Rental Expense,

 

shall be not less than 1.00 to 1.00.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if such ratio for any fiscal year is less than 1.00 to 1.00, the condition in this Section shall nevertheless be deemed to be satisfied if the amount of unencumbered, unrestricted cash shown as an asset in AdCare’s audited financial statements as at the end of such fiscal year is not less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) $2,000,000, plus (ii) the total additional amount of EBITDAR for AdCare that would have been necessary in order for such ratio to have been not less than 1.00 to 1.00 for such fiscal year and for all prior fiscal years ending after on and after December 31, 2012 (the Cumulative Shortfall ); provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not apply if the Cumulative Shortfall is more than $3,000,000.

LENDER’S REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

11.1                            Remedies Conferred upon Lender .  During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender, in addition to all remedies conferred upon Lender by law and by the terms of the Note, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents, may pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any others:

 

(a)                                   Take possession of the Project and do anything required, necessary or advisable in Lender’s sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower hereunder, including the rights to employ watchmen to protect the Project from injury.  Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender as Borrower’s lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the premises to perform the following actions:

 

(i)                                      without inquiring into and without respect to the validity thereof, to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens, against the Project or any portion of the Project or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction and equipping of the Project or for the clearance of title to the Project;

 

(ii)                                   to prosecute and defend actions or proceedings in connection with the Project; and

 

(iii)                                to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf with respect to the Project, it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;

 

(b)                                  Withhold further disbursement of Loan Proceeds and terminate any of its obligations to Borrower;

 

(c)                                   Declare the Note to be due and payable forthwith, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives;

 

34



 

(d)                                  In addition to any rights of setoff that Lender may have under applicable law, without notice of any kind to Borrower, appropriate and apply to the payment of the Note or of any sums due under this Agreement any and all balances, deposits, credits, accounts, certificates of deposit, instruments or money of Borrower then or thereafter in the possession of Lender; and

 

(e)                                   Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted at law or in equity or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, foreclosure of the Deed to Secure Debt and enforcement of all Loan Documents.

 

11.2                            Right of Lender to Make Advances to Cure Event of Defaults; Obligatory Advances .  If Borrower shall fail to perform any of its covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents contained, Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements, and any amounts expended by Lender in so doing, and any amounts expended by Lender pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof and any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed advanced by Lender under an obligation to do so regardless of the identity of the person or persons to whom said funds are disbursed.  Loan Proceeds advanced by Lender to complete any work at the Project or to protect its security for the Loan are obligatory advances hereunder and shall constitute additional indebtedness payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

 

11.3                            Attorneys’ Fees .  Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the negotiation, preparation and administration of this Agreement and shall pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel for advice or other representation with respect to any matter concerning Borrower, this Agreement, the Project or the Loan Documents or if Lender employs one or more counsel to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any portion of the Project, or to attempt to enforce or protect any security interest or lien or other right in any portion of the Project or under any of the Loan Documents, or to enforce any rights of Lender or obligations of Borrower or any other person, firm or corporation which may be obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, heretofore or hereafter delivered to Lender in furtherance hereof, then in any such event, all of the attorneys’ fees arising from such services and actually incurred, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto and actually incurred, shall constitute an additional indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

 

11.4                            No Waiver .  No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any right or remedy provided at law or in equity.  No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case, in itself, shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

35



 

11.5                            Default Rate .  During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, interest on funds outstanding hereunder shall accrue at the Default Rate and be payable on demand.  The failure of Lender to charge interest at the Default Rate shall not be evidence of the absence of an Event of Default or waiver of an Event of Default by Lender.

12.1                            Time is of the Essence .  Borrower agrees that time is of the essence in all of its covenants under this Agreement.

(a)                                   This Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents and the undertakings of Borrower hereunder and thereunder and the security interests, mortgage, assignments and other liens created hereby and thereby as security for the Operator Loan and the Operator Loan Documents shall be continuing and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Project and the other collateral described herein and therein, and shall remain in full force and effect, and shall not be discharged, impaired or affected by (i) the power or authority of Operator to issue or to execute, acknowledge or deliver the Operator Loan Documents; (ii) the existence or continuance of any obligation on the part of Operator on or with respect to the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents; (iii) the validity or invalidity of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents; (iv) any defense, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever that Operator may or might have to the performance or observance of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents or to the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements contained in any of the Operator Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any defense based on any alleged failure of Lender to comply with the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or any limitation or exculpation of liability on the part of Operator; (v) the existence or continuance of any Operator as a legal entity; (vi) the transfer by any Operator of all or any part of any property encumbered by the Operator Loan Documents; (vii) any sale, pledge, assignment, surrender, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, extension, renewal, release, compromise, change in, modification or other disposition of any of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents or of any of the Operator Loan Documents, all of which Lender is hereby expressly authorized to make from time to time without notice to Borrowers, or to anyone; (viii) the acceptance by Lender of the primary or secondary obligation of any party with respect to, or any security for, or any guarantors upon, all or any part of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents; or (ix) any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Lender to realize or protect any of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents or any collateral or appropriation of any moneys, credits or property of Operator toward the liquidation of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents or by any application of any moneys received by Lender under the Operator Loan Documents.  The obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents and the and the undertakings of Borrowers hereunder and thereunder and the security interests, mortgage, assignments and other liens on the Projects and other collateral created hereby and thereby as

 

36



 

security for the Operator Loan and the Operator Loan Documents shall not be affected, discharged, impaired or varied by any act, omission or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not specifically enumerated above, except the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the obligations hereby and thereby secured and then, in each case, only to the extent thereof.

 

(b)                                  Lender shall have the right to enforce this Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents for and to the full extent of the amounts hereby and thereby secured for the Operator Loan and the Operator Loan Documents, whether or not other proceedings or steps are pending or have been taken or have been concluded to enforce or otherwise realize upon the obligations of Operator under the Operator Loan Documents.  The enforcement of this Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents against the Projects or other collateral for the collection of the obligations of Operator under the Operator Loan Documents hereby and thereby secured shall not in any way entitle Borrowers, either at law, or in equity or otherwise, to any right, title or interest in and to the Operator Loan Documents or any of the other obligations hereby or thereby secured, or in and to any security therefor, or to any right of recovery against Operator, in each case whether by way of indemnity, reimbursement, contribution, subrogation or otherwise.

 

(c)                                   Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that Borrower is deemed to be a surety by reason of providing collateral for the Operator Loan as provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives any and all rights under the Illinois Sureties Act.  Also without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that Borrower is deemed to be a guarantor of the Operator Loan by reason of providing collateral for the Operator Loan as provided in this Agreement, Borrower also waives any and all rights under O.C.G.A. Section 10-7-24 et seq. (if such Sections were to be held by a court to be applicable to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents despite the choice of Illinois law in Section 12.13 of this Agreement and in other Loan Documents).

(c)                                   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, wherever in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents provision is made for the approval or consent of Lender with respect to a matter, if Lender elects to grant such approval or consent, it shall not be unreasonable for Lender to make such approval or consent subject to the condition that such matter must also be approved or consented to in writing by any

LIBOR Loan Request means a written request by the Borrower which sets forth the amount and Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan.

 

Prime Loan means any portion of the principal amount of this Note bearing interest at the Floating Rate.

 

Prime Rate means the floating per annum rate of interest most recently announced by the Lender at Chicago, Illinois as its prime or base rate.  A certificate made by an officer of the Lender stating the Prime Rate in effect on any given day, for the purposes hereof, shall be conclusive evidence of the Prime Rate in effect on such day.  The Prime Rate is a base reference rate of interest adopted by the Lender as a general benchmark from which the Lender determines the floating interest rates chargeable on various loans to borrowers with varying degrees of creditworthiness and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender has made no representations whatsoever that the Prime Rate is the interest rate actually offered by the Lender to borrowers of any particular creditworthiness.

 

(b)                                  LIBOR Rate .  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Note, interest shall accrue on the principal balance of this Note through the Maturity Date at a rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) a per annum rate of interest (the LIBOR Rate ) equal to LIBOR (as defined in paragraph (c) below) for the relevant Interest Period (as defined in paragraph (c) below), plus the Applicable Margin, such LIBOR Rate to remain fixed for such Interest Period, or (ii) 6.00% per annum.

 

(c)                                   Additional Provisions Relating to LIBOR Rate .  The following provisions shall apply with respect to the LIBOR Rate:

 

(i)                                      At the Loan Opening, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a single LIBOR Loan Request, which shall establish a single LIBOR Loan in an amount equal to the entire amount of proceeds disbursed on this Note at the Loan Opening, with an Interest Period of one month.  At the time of each subsequent disbursement of proceeds disbursed on this Note, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a single LIBOR Loan Request, which shall establish a single LIBOR Loan in an amount equal to the entire amount of such disbursement, with an Interest Period of one month.  If on the first day of any Interest Period more than one LIBOR Loan is outstanding, such multiple LIBOR Loans shall be combined into a single LIBOR Loan.

 

(ii)                                   If pursuant to the LIBOR Loan Request, the initial Interest Period of any LIBOR Loan commences on any day other than the first Business Day of any month, then the initial Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan shall end on the first day of the following calendar month, notwithstanding the Interest Period specified in the LIBOR Loan Request, and the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Loan shall be a per annum rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR for an interest period equal to the length of such partial month, plus the Applicable Margin, or (ii) 6.00%.  Thereafter, each LIBOR Loan shall automatically renew (a LIBOR Rollover ) for the Interest Period specified in the LIBOR Loan Request at the then current LIBOR Rate, except that an Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall not automatically renew with respect to any principal amount which is

 

2



 

scheduled to be repaid before the last day of the applicable Interest Period, and any such amounts shall bear interest at the Floating Rate, until repaid.

 

(iii)                                LIBOR shall mean a rate of interest equal to (A) the per annum rate of interest at which United States dollar deposits in an amount comparable to the amount of the relevant LIBOR Loan and for a period equal to the relevant Interest Period are offered in the London Interbank Eurodollar market at 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period (or three Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period if banks in London, England were not open and dealing in offshore United States dollars on such second preceding Business Day), as displayed in the Bloomberg Financial Markets system (or other authoritative source selected by the Lender in its sole discretion), divided by (B) a number determined by subtracting from 1.00 the then stated maximum reserve percentage for determining reserves to be maintained by member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency funding or liabilities as defined in Regulation D (or any successor category of liabilities under Regulation D), such rate to remain fixed for such Interest Period, or as LIBOR is otherwise determined by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.  The Lender’s determination of LIBOR shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(iv)                               Interest Period shall mean, with regard to any LIBOR Loan, successive one month periods; provided, however, that: (A) each Interest Period occurring after the initial Interest Period of any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the preceding Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan expires, with interest for such day to be calculated at the LIBOR Rate in effect for the new Interest Period; (B) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur on a day other than a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to occur on the next succeeding Business Day; (C) whenever the first day of any Interest Period occurs on a date for which there is no numerically corresponding date in the month in which such Interest Period terminates, such Interest Period shall end on the last day of such month, unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case the Interest Period shall terminate on the first Business Day of the following month, provided, however, that so long as the LIBOR Rollover remains in effect, all subsequent Interest Periods shall terminate on the date of the month numerically corresponding to the date on which the initial Interest Period commenced; and (D) if at any time the Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan expires less than one month before the Maturity Date, such LIBOR Loan shall automatically renew at the then current LIBOR Rate for an Interest Period terminating on the Maturity Date.

 

(v)                                  If the Lender determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that (A) the making or maintenance of any LIBOR Loan would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, (B) United States dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the Interest Period, of any LIBOR Loan are not available in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, (C) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate to be applicable to the relevant LIBOR Loan, (D) the LIBOR Rate does not

 

3



 

accurately reflect the cost to the Lender of a LIBOR Loan, or (E) a Default or an Event of Default (each as defined in Section 5 hereof) has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and, so long as any of the foregoing conditions continue, the Lender will have no obligation to permit any principal of this Note to become a LIBOR Loan.  Following such a notice by the Lender, each existing LIBOR Loan, at the Borrower’s option, shall be (1) converted to a Prime Loan on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period, or (2) due and payable on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period, without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

 

(vi)                               If, after the date hereof, a Regulatory Change (as hereinafter defined) shall, in the reasonable determination of the Lender, make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loans, the Lender will have no obligation to permit any principal of this Note to become a LIBOR Loan, and in such event, at the Borrower’s option, each existing LIBOR Loan shall be immediately (A) converted to a Prime Loan on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law, or (B) due and payable on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law, all without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.  As used herein, Regulatory Change shall mean the introduction of, or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation or guideline or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over the Lender or its lending office.

 

(vii)                            If any Regulatory Change (whether or not having the force of law) shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, the Lender; (B) subject the Lender or any LIBOR Loan to any tax, duty, charge, stamp tax or fee, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of principal or interest due from the Borrower hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of the overall net income of the Lender); or (C) impose on the Lender any other condition regarding any LIBOR Loan or the Lender’s funding thereof, and the Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that the result of the foregoing is to actually increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by the Lender hereunder on any LIBOR Loan, then the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, on demand, such additional amounts as the Lender shall from time to time determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify the Lender for such increased costs or reduced amounts.

 

2.2                                  Interest After Default .  From and after the Maturity Date or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance during any such period at an annual rate (the Default Rate ) 5.0% greater than the interest rate which would otherwise be in effect under the terms of this Note.  However, in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.  The interest accruing

 

4



 

under this Section shall be immediately due and payable by the Borrower to the holder of this Note upon demand and shall be additional indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

 

2.3                                  Interest Calculation .  Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in any portion of a month in which interest is due.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of such payment.

 

3.                                        PAYMENT TERMS .

 

3.1                                  Payment of Principal and Interest .  Payments of principal and interest due under this Note, if not sooner declared to be due in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be made as follows:

 

(a)                                   On the first day of the month of August 1, 2012, and on the first day of each month thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, interest accrued on this Note shall be due and payable.

 

(b)                                  On the first day of the month of August 1, 2012, and on the first day of each month thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, in addition to accrued interest on this Note payable as provided in paragraph (a) above, a payment of principal on this Note shall be due and payable in the amount of $10,092.

 

(c)                                   The unpaid principal balance of this Note, if not sooner paid or declared to be due in accordance with the terms hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due and payable hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

 

3.2                                  Application of Payments .  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all payments and prepayments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to fees, expenses, costs and other similar amounts then due and payable to the Lender, including, without limitation any prepayment premium, exit fee or late charges due hereunder, (b) second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of this Note, (c) third, to the payment of principal due in the month in which the payment or prepayment is made, (d) fourth, to any escrows, impounds or other amounts which may then be due and payable under the Loan Documents, (e) fifth, to any other amounts then due the Lender hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, and (f) last, to the unpaid principal balance of this Note in the inverse order of maturity.  Any prepayment on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date or reduce the amount of any subsequent monthly payment of principal and interest due hereunder.  After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments may be applied by the Lender to amounts owed hereunder and under the Loan Documents in such order as the Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion.

 

5



 

3.3                                  Method of Payments .  All payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be paid by automatic debit, wire transfer, check or in coin or currency which, at the time or times of payment, is the legal tender for public and private debts in the United States of America and shall be made at such place as the Lender or the legal holder or holders of this Note may from time to time appoint in the payment invoice or otherwise in writing, and in the absence of such appointment, then at the offices of the Lender at 120 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603.  Payment made by check shall be deemed paid on the date the Lender receives such check; provided, however, that if such check is subsequently returned to the Lender unpaid due to insufficient funds or otherwise, the payment shall not be deemed to have been made and shall continue to bear interest until collected.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment due under this Note must be made by wire transfer or other immediately available funds.  With the exception of interest which under the terms of the Loan Documents is to be paid from a disbursement of proceeds of the Loan, interest, principal payments and any fees and expenses owed the Lender from time to time will be deducted by the Lender automatically on the due date from an account of the Borrower with the Lender.  The Borrower shall maintain sufficient funds in the account on the dates the Lender enters debits authorized by this Note.  If there are insufficient funds in the account on the date the Lender enters any debit authorized by this Note, the debit will be reversed.

 

3.4                                  Late Charge .  If any payment of interest or principal due hereunder is not made within five days after such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof, then, in addition to the payment of the amount so due, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a “late charge” of five cents for each whole dollar so overdue to defray part of the cost of collection and handling such late payment.  The Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by the holder hereof for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the amount of five cents for each one dollar due is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty.

 

3.5                                  Principal Prepayments .  The principal of this Note may be prepaid, either in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, provided that such prepayment is accompanied by payment to the Lender of all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note as of the date of such prepayment.  If the principal of this Note is prepaid in whole from the proceeds of a loan which is insured, guaranteed or extended by any agency of the United States of America, no prepayment premium or penalty shall be payable in connection with such prepayment.

 

3.6                                  Loan Fees .  In consideration of the Lender’s agreement to make the Loan, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a non-refundable fee in the amount of $26,400, which shall be due and payable in full as a condition precedent to any disbursement of proceeds under this Note.

 

4.                                        SECURITY; LOAN DOCUMENTS .  This Note is secured by the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Rents and the other Loan Documents.  Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Rents and the other Loan Documents (all of which are incorporated herein by reference as fully and with the same effect as if set forth herein at length) for a statement of the covenants and agreements contained therein, a statement of the rights, remedies, and security afforded thereby, and all matters therein contained.    If any Operator Loan is extended by the Lender to the Operator, this Note and the

 

6



 

Loan will also be secured by all of the collateral provided to the Lender for the Operator Loan, and all of the collateral for this Note and the Loan will also secure the Operator Loan.

 

5.                                        EVENTS OF DEFAULT .  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note:

 

(a)                                   The failure by the Borrower to pay (i) any installment of principal or interest payable pursuant to this Note on the date when due, or (ii) any other amount payable to the Lender under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents on the date when any such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; or

 

(b)                                  The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

For purposes of this Note, the term Default means the occurrence or existence of any event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

 

6.                                        REMEDIES .  At the election of the holder hereof, and without notice, the principal balance remaining unpaid under this Note, and all unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other amounts due hereunder, shall be and become immediately due and payable in full upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.  Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise same in the event of any subsequent Event of Default.  No holder hereof shall, by any act of omission or commission, be deemed to waive any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder or otherwise unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the holder hereof, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.  The rights, remedies and powers of the holder hereof, as provided in this Note, the Mortgage and in all of the other Loan Documents are cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively or together against the Borrower, any Guarantor hereof, the Project and any other security given at any time to secure the repayment hereof, all at the sole discretion of the holder hereof.  If any suit or action is instituted or attorneys are employed to collect this Note or any part hereof, the Borrower promises and agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.

 

7.                                        COVENANTS AND WAIVERS .  The Borrower and all others who now or may at any time become liable for all or any part of the obligations evidenced hereby, expressly agree hereby to be jointly and severally bound, and jointly and severally:  (i) waive and renounce any and all homestead, redemption and exemption rights and the benefit of all valuation and appraisement privileges against the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or by any extension or renewal hereof; (ii) waive presentment and demand for payment, notices of nonpayment and of dishonor, protest of dishonor, and notice of protest; (iii) waive any and all notices in connection with the delivery and acceptance hereof and all other notices in connection with the performance, default, or enforcement of the payment hereof or hereunder; (iv) waive any and all lack of diligence and delays in the enforcement of the payment hereof; (v) agree that the liability of the Borrower and each guarantor, endorser or obligor shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other person or entity for the payment hereof, and shall not in any manner be

 

7



 

affected by any indulgence or forbearance granted or consented to by the Lender to any of them with respect hereto; (vi) consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by the Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions hereof, and to the release of any security at any time given for the payment hereof, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and to the release of any person or entity liable for the payment hereof; and (vii) consent to the addition of any and all other makers, endorsers, guarantors, and other obligors for the payment hereof, and to the acceptance of any and all other security for the payment hereof, and agree that the addition of any such makers, endorsers, guarantors or other obligors, or security shall not affect the liability of the Borrower, any guarantor and all others now liable for all or any part of the obligations evidenced hereby.  This provision is a material inducement for the Lender making the Loan to the Borrower.

(e)                                   Complete within a reasonable time any improvements at any time in the process of erection upon the Premises;

(g)                                  Obtain and maintain in full force and effect, and abide by and satisfy the material terms and conditions of, all material permits, licenses, registrations and other authorizations with or granted by any governmental authorities that may be required from time to time with respect to the performance of the Grantor’s obligations under this Deed to Secure Debt;

6



 

generally called Taxes ), whether or not assessed against the Grantor, if applicable to the Premises or any interest therein, or the Indebtedness, or any obligation or agreement secured hereby, subject to the Grantor’s right to contest the same, as provided by the terms hereof; and the Grantor will, upon written request, furnish to the Grantee duplicate receipts therefor within 10 days after the Grantee’s request.

 

4.                                        Tax Deposits .  If requested by the Grantee, the Grantor shall deposit with the Grantee, on the first day of each month until the Indebtedness is fully paid, a sum equal to 1/12th of 105% of the most recent ascertainable annual Taxes on the Premises.  If requested by the Grantee, the Grantor shall also deposit with the Grantee an amount of money which, together with the aggregate of the monthly deposits to be made pursuant to the preceding sentence as of one month prior to the date on which the next installment of annual Taxes for the current calendar year become due, shall be sufficient to pay in full such installment of annual Taxes, as estimated by the Grantee.  Such deposits are to be held without any allowance of interest and are to be used for the payment of Taxes next due and payable when they become due. So long as no Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt shall exist, the Grantee shall, at its option, pay such Taxes when the same become due and payable (upon submission of appropriate bills therefor from the Grantor) or shall release sufficient funds to the Grantor for the payment thereof.  If the funds so deposited are insufficient to pay any such Taxes for any year (or installments thereof, as applicable) when the same shall become due and payable, the Grantor shall, within 10 days after receipt of written demand therefor, deposit additional funds as may be necessary to pay such Taxes in full.  If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required to pay such Taxes for any year, the excess shall be applied toward subsequent deposits.  Said deposits need not be kept separate and apart from any other funds of the Grantee.  The Grantee, in making any payment hereby authorized relating to Taxes, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.  The Grantee shall not exercise its right to require such deposits so long as the Grantor has paid all Taxes when due.

 

5.                                        Grantee’s Interest In and Use of Deposits .  Upon an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantee may, at its option, apply any monies at the time on deposit pursuant to Section 4 hereof to cure any Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt or to pay any of the Indebtedness in such order and manner as the Grantee may elect.  If such deposits are used to cure an Event of Default or pay any of the Indebtedness, the Grantor shall immediately, upon demand by the Grantee, deposit with the Grantee an amount equal to the amount so used from the deposits.  When the Indebtedness has been fully paid, any remaining deposits shall be returned to the Grantor.  Such deposits are hereby pledged as additional security for the Indebtedness and shall not be subject to the direction or control of the Grantor.  The Grantee shall not be liable for any failure to apply to the payment of Taxes any amount so deposited unless the Grantor, prior to an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt, shall have requested the Grantee in writing to make application of such funds to the payment of such amounts, accompanied by the bills for such Taxes.  The Grantee shall not be liable for any act or omission taken in good faith or pursuant to the instruction of any party.

6.                                        Insurance .

 

(a)                                   The Grantor shall at all times keep all buildings, improvements, fixtures and articles of personal property now or hereafter situated on the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire and such other hazards as may reasonably be required by the Grantee, in accordance with the terms, coverages and provisions described in the Loan Agreement, and such other insurance as the Grantee may from time to time reasonably require.  Unless the Grantor provides the Grantee evidence of the insurance coverages required hereunder, the Grantee may purchase insurance at the Grantor’s expense to cover the Grantee’s interest in the Premises.  The insurance may, but need not, protect the Grantor’s interest.  The coverages that the Grantee purchases may not pay any claim that the Grantor makes or any claim that is made against the Grantor in connection with the Premises.  The Grantor may later cancel any insurance purchased by the Grantee, but only after providing the Grantee with evidence that the Grantor has obtained insurance as required by this Deed to Secure Debt.  If the Grantee purchases insurance for the Premises, the Grantor will be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including, without limitation, interest and any other charges which the Grantee may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance.  The costs of the insurance may be added to the Indebtedness.  The cost of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Grantor may be able to obtain on its own.

 

(b)                                  The Grantor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder unless the Grantee is included thereon as the loss payee or an additional insured as applicable, under a standard mortgage clause acceptable to the Grantee and such separate insurance is otherwise acceptable to the Grantee.

 

(c)                                   In the event of loss, the Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to the Grantee, and the Grantee shall have the sole and absolute right to make proof of loss.  The Grantee shall have the right, at its option and in its sole discretion, to apply any insurance proceeds arising from such loss, after the payment of all of the Grantee’s expenses, either (i) on account of the Indebtedness, irrespective of whether such principal balance is then due and payable, whereupon the Grantee may declare the whole of the balance of Indebtedness to be due and payable, or (ii) to the restoration or repair of the property damaged as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section.  If insurance proceeds are made available to the Grantor by the Grantee as hereinafter provided, the Grantor shall repair, restore or rebuild the damaged or destroyed portion of the Premises so that the condition and value of the Premises are substantially the same as the condition and value of the Premises prior to being damaged or destroyed.  Any insurance proceeds applied on account of the unpaid principal balance of the Note shall be subject to the prepayment provisions contained in the Loan Agreement and the Note.  In the event of foreclosure of this Deed to Secure Debt, all right, title and interest of the Grantor in and to any insurance policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale.

 

(d)                                  If insurance proceeds are made available by the Grantee to the Grantor, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(i)                                      Before commencing to repair, restore or rebuild following damage to, or destruction of, all or a portion of the Improvements, whether by fire or other casualty, the

 

8



 

Grantor shall obtain from the Grantee its approval of all site and building plans and specifications pertaining to such repair, restoration or rebuilding.

 

(ii)                                   Prior to each payment or application of any insurance proceeds to the repair or restoration of such Improvements (which payment or application may be made, at the Grantee’s option, through an escrow, the terms and conditions of which are satisfactory to the Grantee and the cost of which is to be borne by the Grantor), the Grantee shall be satisfied as to the following:

 

(A)                               No Default (as defined in Section 36 of this Deed to Secure Debt) or Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt has occurred and is continuing;

 

(B)                                 Either such Improvements have been fully restored, or the expenditure of money as may be received from such insurance proceeds will be sufficient to repair, restore or rebuild the Premises, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, except the lien and conveyance of this Deed to Secure Debt and the Permitted Exceptions, or, if such insurance proceeds shall be insufficient to repair, restore and rebuild the Premises, the Grantor has deposited with the Grantee such amount of money which, together with the insurance proceeds shall be sufficient to restore, repair and rebuild the Premises; and

 

(C)                                 Prior to each disbursement of any such proceeds, the Grantee shall be furnished with a statement of the Grantee’s architect (the cost of which shall be borne by the Grantor), certifying the extent of the repair and restoration completed to the date thereof, and that such repairs, restoration, and rebuilding have been performed to date in conformity with the plans and specifications approved by the Grantee and with all statutes, regulations or ordinances (including building and zoning ordinances) affecting the Premises; and the Grantee shall be furnished with appropriate evidence of payment for labor or materials furnished to the Premises, and total or partial lien waivers substantiating such payments.

 

(iii)                                If the Grantor shall fail to restore, repair or rebuild such Improvements within a time deemed satisfactory by the Grantee, then the Grantee, at its option, may (A) commence and perform all necessary acts to restore, repair or rebuild such Improvements for or on behalf of the Grantor, or (B) declare an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt.  If insurance proceeds shall exceed the amount necessary to complete the repair, restoration or rebuilding of such Improvements, such excess shall be applied on account of the Indebtedness, irrespective of whether such Indebtedness is then due and payable without payment of any premium or penalty.

 

7.                                        Condemnation .  If all or any part of the Premises are damaged, taken or acquired, either temporarily or permanently, in any condemnation proceeding, or by exercise of the right of eminent domain, the amount of any award or other payment for such taking or damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the remaining unpaid Indebtedness, is hereby assigned to the Grantee, who is empowered to collect and receive the

 

9



 

same and to give proper receipts therefor in the name of the Grantor and the same shall be paid forthwith to the Grantee.  Such award or monies shall be applied on account of the Indebtedness, irrespective of whether such Indebtedness is then due and payable and, at any time from and after the taking the Grantee may declare the whole of the balance of the Indebtedness to be due and payable.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section to the contrary, if any condemnation or taking of less than the entire Premises occurs, such award or monies shall be applied, at the option of the Grantee and in its sole discretion, either (i) on account of the Indebtedness as provided above, or (ii) to any necessary restoration or repair of the remaining property, on the terms contained in Section 6(d) hereof.

 

8.                                        Stamp Tax .  If, by the laws of the United States of America, or of any state or political subdivision having jurisdiction over the Grantor, any tax is due or becomes due in respect of the execution and delivery of this Deed to Secure Debt, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the intangibles tax due on this Deed to Secure Debt pursuant to State law, the Grantor shall pay such tax in the manner required by any such law.  The Grantor further agrees to reimburse the Grantee for any sums which the Grantee may expend by reason of the imposition of any such tax.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantor shall not be required to pay any income or franchise taxes of the Grantee.

 

9.                                        Lease and Rent Assignment .  The Grantor acknowledges that, concurrently herewith, the Grantor has executed and delivered to the Grantee, as additional security for the repayment of the Loan, an Assignment of Rents and Leases (the Assignment ) pursuant to which the Grantor has assigned to the Grantee interests in the leases of the Premises and the rents and income from the Premises.  All of the provisions of the Assignment are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth at length in the text of this Deed to Secure Debt.  The Grantor agrees to abide by all of the provisions of the Assignment.

 

10.                                  Effect of Extensions of Time and Other Changes .  If the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof is extended or varied, if any part of any security for the payment of the Indebtedness is released, if the rate of interest charged under the Note is changed or if the time for payment thereof is extended or varied, all persons now or at any time hereafter liable therefor, or interested in the Premises or having an interest in the Grantor, shall be held to assent to such extension, variation, release or change and their liability and the lien and conveyance and all of the provisions hereof shall continue in full force, any right of recourse against all such persons being expressly reserved by the Grantee, notwithstanding such extension, variation, release or change.

 

11.                                  Effect of Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation .  If any law is enacted after the date hereof requiring (a) the deduction of any lien on the Premises from the value thereof for the purpose of taxation or (b) the imposition upon the Grantee of the payment of the whole or any part of the Taxes, charges or liens herein required to be paid by the Grantor, or (c) a change in the method of taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust or debts secured by mortgages or deeds of trust or the interest of the Grantee in the Premises, or the manner of collection of taxes, so as to affect this Deed to Secure Debt or the Indebtedness or the holders thereof, then the Grantor, upon demand by the Grantee, shall pay such Taxes or charges, or reimburse the Grantee therefor; provided, however, that the Grantor shall not be deemed to be required to pay any income or franchise taxes of the Grantee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the opinion of counsel for

the Grantee it is or may be unlawful to require the Grantor to make such payment or the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by law, then the Grantee may declare all of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable.

 

12.                                  Grantee’s Performance of Defaulted Acts and Expenses Incurred by Grantee .  If an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt has occurred and is continuing, the Grantee may, but need not, make any payment or perform any act herein required of the Grantor in any form and manner deemed expedient by the Grantee, and may, but need not, make full or partial payments of principal or interest on prior encumbrances, if any, and purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien or title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Premises or consent to any tax or assessment or cure any default of the Grantor in any lease of the Premises.  All monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized and all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any other monies advanced by the Grantee in regard to any tax referred to in Section 8 hereof or to protect the Premises or the lien and conveyance hereof, shall be so much additional Indebtedness, and shall become immediately due and payable by the Grantor to the Grantee, upon demand, and with interest thereon accruing from the date of such demand until paid at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note and the Loan Agreement).  In addition to the foregoing, any costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, incurred by the Grantee in connection with (a) sustaining the lien and conveyance of this Deed to Secure Debt or its priority, (b) protecting or enforcing any of the Grantee’s rights hereunder, (c) recovering any Indebtedness, (d) any litigation or proceedings affecting the Note, this Deed to Secure Debt, any of the other Loan Documents or the Premises, including without limitation, bankruptcy and probate proceedings, or (e)  preparing for the commencement, defense or participation in any threatened litigation or proceedings affecting the Note, this Deed to Secure Debt, any of the other Loan Documents or the Premises, shall be so much additional Indebtedness, and shall become immediately due and payable by the Grantor to the Grantee, upon demand, and with interest thereon accruing from the date of such demand until paid at the Default Rate.  The interest accruing under this Section shall be immediately due and payable by the Grantor to the Grantee, and shall be additional Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by this Deed to Secure Debt.  The Grantee’s failure to act shall never be considered as a waiver of any right accruing to the Grantee on account of any Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt or any of the other Loan Documents.  Should any amount paid out or advanced by the Grantee hereunder, or pursuant to any agreement executed by the Grantor in connection with the Loan, be used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy, in whole or in part, any lien or encumbrance upon the Premises or any part thereof, then the Grantee shall be subrogated to any and all rights, equal or superior titles, liens and equities, owned or claimed by any owner or holder of said outstanding liens, charges and indebtedness, regardless of whether said liens, charges and indebtedness are acquired by assignment or have been released of record by the holder thereof upon payment.

 

13.                                  Security Agreement .  The Grantor and the Grantee agree that this Deed to Secure Debt shall constitute a Security Agreement within the meaning of the Code with respect to (a) all sums at any time on deposit for the benefit of the Grantor or held by the Grantee (whether deposited by or on behalf of the Grantor or anyone else) pursuant to any of the provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt or the other Loan Documents, and (b) any personal property included in the

granting clauses of this Deed to Secure Debt, which personal property may not be deemed to be affixed to the Premises or may not constitute a “fixture” (within the meaning of the Code and which property is hereinafter referred to as Personal Property ), and all replacements of, substitutions for, additions to, and the proceeds thereof, and the supporting obligations (as defined in the Code) (all of said Personal Property and the replacements, substitutions and additions thereto and the proceeds thereof being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as Collateral ), and that a security interest in and to the Collateral is hereby granted to the Grantee, and the Collateral and all of the Grantor’s right, title and interest therein are hereby assigned to the Grantee, all to secure payment of the Indebtedness.  All of the provisions contained in this Deed to Secure Debt pertain and apply to the Collateral as fully and to the same extent as to any other property comprising the Premises; and the following provisions of this Section shall not limit the applicability of any other provision of this Deed to Secure Debt but shall be in addition thereto:

 

(a)                                   The Grantor (being the Debtor as that term is used in the Code) is and will be the true and lawful owner of the Collateral and has rights in and the power to transfer the Collateral, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the lien and conveyance of this Deed to Secure Debt, other liens and encumbrances benefiting the Grantee and no other party, and liens and encumbrances, if any, expressly permitted by the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                  The Collateral is to be used by the Grantor solely for business purposes.

 

(c)                                   The Collateral will be kept at the Real Estate and, except for Collateral no longer useful in connection with the operation of the Real Estate, provided that prior to the sale or other disposition thereof, such Collateral has been replaced by property of at least equal value and utility and which is subject to the lien and conveyance of this Deed to Secure Debt, will not be removed therefrom without the consent of the Grantee (being the Secured Party as that term is used in the Code).  The Collateral may be affixed to the Real Estate but will not be affixed to any other real estate.

 

(d)                                  The only persons having any interest in the Premises are the Grantor, the Grantee and holders of interests, if any, expressly permitted hereby.

 

(e)                                   No Financing Statement (other than Financing Statements showing the Grantee as the sole secured party, or with respect to liens or encumbrances, if any, expressly permitted hereby) covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is on file in any public office except pursuant hereto; and the Grantor, at the Grantor’s own cost and expense, upon demand, will furnish to the Grantee such further information and will execute and deliver to the Grantee such financing statements and other documents in form satisfactory to the Grantee and will do all such acts as the Grantee may request at any time or from time to time or as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain a perfected security interest in the Collateral as security for the Indebtedness, subject to no other liens or encumbrances, other than liens or encumbrances benefiting the Grantee and no other party, and liens and encumbrances (if any) expressly permitted hereby; and the Grantor will pay the cost of filing or recording such financing statements or other documents, and this instrument, in all public offices wherever filing or recording

 

12



 

is deemed by the Grantee to be desirable.  The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Grantee at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto, without the signature of the Grantor, that (i) indicate the Collateral (A) is comprised of all assets of the Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprising a part of the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed, or (B) as being of an equal or lesser scope or within greater detail as the grant of the security interest set forth herein, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether the Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to the Grantor, and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to which the Collateral relates.  The Grantor agrees to furnish any such information to the Grantee promptly upon request.  The Grantor further ratifies and affirms its authorization for any financing statements and/or amendments thereto, executed and filed by the Grantee in any jurisdiction prior to the date of this Deed to Secure Debt.  In addition, the Grantor shall make appropriate entries on its books and records disclosing the Grantee’s security interests in the Collateral.

 

(f)                                     Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantee shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Code, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose, so far as the Grantor can give authority therefor, with or without judicial process, may enter (if this can be done without breach of the peace) upon any place which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom (provided that if the Collateral is affixed to real estate, such removal shall be subject to the conditions stated in the Code); and the Grantee shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare the Collateral for sale, until disposed of, or may propose to retain the Collateral subject to the Grantor’s right of redemption in satisfaction of the Grantor’s obligations, as provided in the Code.  The Grantee may render the Collateral unusable without removal and may dispose of the Collateral on the Premises.  The Grantee may require the Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Grantee for its possession at a place to be designated by the Grantee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.  The Grantee will give the Grantor at least 10 days notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed, by certified United States mail or equivalent, postage prepaid, to the address of the Grantor hereinafter set forth at least 10 days before the time of the sale or disposition.  The Grantee may buy at any public sale.  The Grantee may buy at private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations.  Any such sale may be held in conjunction with any foreclosure sale of the Premises.  If the Grantee so elects, the Premises and the Collateral may be sold as one lot.  The net proceeds realized upon any

 

13



 

such disposition, after deduction for the expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Grantee, shall be applied against the Indebtedness in such order or manner as the Grantee shall select.  The Grantee will account to the Grantor for any surplus realized on such disposition.

 

(g)                                  The terms and provisions contained in this Section, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings and be construed as provided in the Code.

 

(h)                                  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the security interest created hereby is specifically intended to cover all Leases between the Grantor or its agents as lessor, and various tenants named therein, as lessee, including all extended terms and all extensions and renewals of the terms thereof, as well as any amendments to or replacement of said Leases, together with all of the right, title and interest of the Grantor, as lessor thereunder.

 

(i)                                      The Grantor represents and warrants that:  (i) the Grantor is the record owner of the Premises; (ii) the Grantor’s chief executive office is located in the State of Georgia; (iii) the Grantor’s state of organization is the State of Georgia; (iv) the Grantor’s exact legal name is as set forth on Page 1 of this Deed to Secure Debt; and (v) the Grantor’s organizational identification number, if any, is as stated in the Loan Agreement.

 

(j)                                      The Grantor hereby agrees that:  (i) where Collateral is in possession of a third party, the Grantor will join with the Grantee in notifying the third party of the Grantee’s interest and obtaining an acknowledgment from the third party that it is holding the Collateral for the benefit of the Grantee; (ii) the Grantor will cooperate with the Grantee in obtaining control with respect to Collateral consisting of:  deposit accounts, investment property, letter of credit rights and electronic chattel paper; and (iii) until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Grantor will not change the state where it is located or change its name or form of organization without giving the Grantee at least 30 days prior written notice in each instance.

 

14.                                  Events of Default; Acceleration .  Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt:

 

(a)                                   The Grantor fails to pay any amount payable payable to the Grantee under this Deed to Secure Debt when any such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b)                                  The Grantor fails to perform or observe, or to cause to be performed or observed, any other obligation, covenant, term, agreement or provision required to be performed or observed by the Grantor under this Deed to Secure Debt; provided, however, that —

 

(i)                                      If such failure can be cured solely by the payment of money, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless it shall continue for a period of five days after written notice to the Grantor;

 

14



 

(ii)                                   If such failure cannot be cured solely by the payment of money and does not pose an emergency or dangerous condition or a material threat to the security for the Loan, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless it shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Grantor; and

 

(iii)                                If a failure described in (ii) above is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, and if such failure is susceptible of cure, it shall not constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by the Grantor within such 30-day period and is diligently pursued and such failure is cured within 90 days after the occurrence of such failure.

 

(c)                                   The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

If an Event of Default occurs under this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantee may, at its option, declare the whole of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further notice to the Grantor, with interest thereon accruing from the date of such Event of Default until paid at the Default Rate.

 

15.                                  Foreclosure and Other Remedies; Expense of Enforcement .

 

(a)                                   When all or any part of the Indebtedness shall become due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, the Grantee shall have the right to foreclose the lien hereof for such Indebtedness or part thereof and/or exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Deed to Secure Debt or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Georgia.  In the event of a foreclosure sale, the Grantee is hereby authorized, without the consent of the Grantor, to assign any and all insurance policies to the purchaser at such sale or to take such other steps as the Grantee may deem advisable to cause the interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of such insurance policies.

 

(b)                                  In any suit or other proceeding to foreclose this Deed to Secure Debt or enforce any other remedy of the Grantee under this Deed to Secure Debt or the Note, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree all expenditures and expenses which may be actually paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Grantee for reasonable attorneys’ fees, appraisers’ fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to the title as the Grantee may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Premises.  All expenditures and expenses of the nature mentioned in this Section and such other expenses and fees as may be incurred in the enforcement of the Grantor’s obligations hereunder, the protection of said Premises and the maintenance of the interest created by this Deed to Secure Debt, including the actual and reasonable fees of any attorney employed by the Grantee in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed to Secure Debt, the Note, or the Premises, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparations for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or

 

15



 

proceeding shall be immediately due and payable by the Grantor, with interest thereon until paid at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Deed to Secure Debt.

 

(c)                                   The Grantee, at its option, may sell the Premises, or any part thereof, at public sale or sales before the door of the courthouse of the county in which the Premises, or any part thereof, are situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the obligations secured by this Deed to Secure Debt and insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges, including utility charges, if any, with accrued interest thereon, and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantee in connection with such sale and all other expenses of the sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a newspaper in which sheriff’s sales are advertised in said county, ALL OTHER NOTICE BEING HEREBY WAIVED BY THE GRANTOR.  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Grantee may sell, or cause to be sold, any tangible or intangible personal property, or any part thereof, and which constitutes a part of the security hereunder, in the foregoing manner, or as may otherwise be provided by law.  The Grantee may bid and purchase at any such sale and may satisfy the Grantee’s obligation to purchase pursuant to the Grantee’s bid by canceling an equivalent portion of any obligations secured hereby then outstanding.  At any such sale, the Grantee may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Premises, or any part thereof, in fee simple (but without covenants and warranties, express or implied), and, to this end, the Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Grantee the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest the Grantor of all right, title, and equity that the Grantor may have in and to the Premises and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed, and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding on the Grantor.  The Grantor agrees that any such conveyance shall be effectual to bar all right, title and interest, equity of redemption, including all statutory redemption, homestead, dower, courtesy and all other rights of the Grantor, or its successors in interest, in and to the Premises.  The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided by law for collection of the obligations secured hereby, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full payment and performance of all obligations secured hereby.  In the event of any such sale, the Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of  law applicable to tenants holding over.

 

(d)                                  To the extent permitted under and in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Georgia, the following provisions shall, as the Grantee may determine in its sole discretion, apply to any sales under this Deed to Secure Debt, whether by judicial proceeding, judgment, decree, power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise:  (i) the Grantee may conduct multiple sales of any part of the property to be sold in separate tracts or in its entirety and the Grantor waives any right to require otherwise; (ii) any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned sale without further notice; and (iii) the Grantee may acquire the property being sold and, in lieu of paying cash, may pay by crediting against the obligations secured by this Deed to Secure Debt

 

16



 

the amount of its bid, after deducting therefrom any sums which the Grantee is authorized to deduct under the provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(e)                                   BY EXECUTION OF THIS DEED TO SECURE DEBT, THE GRANTOR EXPRESSLY:  (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF THE GRANTEE TO ACCELERATE THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE NOTE AND LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GIVEN HEREIN TO THE GRANTEE TO SELL THE PREMISES BY NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED HEREIN OR IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT;  (B) TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH THE GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS OF THE STATE OR OF THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY THE GRANTEE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED TO THE GRANTEE;  (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE GRANTOR HAS READ THIS DEED TO SECURE DEBT AND ITS PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED FULLY TO THE GRANTOR AND THE GRANTOR HAS CONSULTED WITH LEGAL COUNSEL OF THE GRANTOR’S CHOICE PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS DEED TO SECURE DEBT; AND (D) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL WAIVERS OF THE AFORESAID RIGHTS OF THE GRANTOR HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY THE GRANTOR AS PART OF A BARGAINED FOR LOAN TRANSACTION.

 

 

 

 

(Grantor’s Initials)

 

16.                                  Application of Proceeds of Sale and Other Remedies .  The proceeds of the exercise of any remedy hereunder shall be distributed and applied in accordance with applicable State law and, unless otherwise specified therein, in such order as the Grantee may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to any express provisions of the Loan Agreement.

 

17.                                  Appointment of Receiver .   At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantee shall have the right to have a receiver appointed for the Premises or any portion thereof.  To the extent not prohibited by Georgia law, such appointment may be made, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of the Grantor at the time of application for such receiver and without regard to the then value of the Premises, and the Grantee or any holder of the Note may be appointed as such receiver.  To the extent not prohibited by Georgia law, such receiver shall have power (i) to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Premises pending the sale of the Premises, as well as during any further times when the Grantors, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, issues and profits; (ii) to extend or modify any then existing leases and to make new leases, which extension, modifications and new leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the maturity date of the indebtedness secured by this Deed to Secure Debt and beyond the date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a sale of the Premises, it being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other such provisions to be

 

17



 

contained therein, shall be binding upon the Grantors and all persons whose interests in the Premises are subject to this Deed to Secure Debt and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any such sale, notwithstanding discharge of the indebtedness secured by this Deed to Secure Debt or issuance of any deed to any purchaser; and (iii) all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Premises during the whole of said period.  The court from time to time may authorize the receiver to apply the net income in his hands in payment in whole or in part of the indebtedness secured by this Deed to Secure Debt, or any tax, special assessment or other lien which may be or become superior to the lien and conveyance hereof.

 

18.                                  Grantee’s Right of Possession in Case of Default .  At any time after an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor shall, upon demand of the Grantee, surrender to the Grantee possession of the Premises.  The Grantee, in its discretion, may, with process of law, enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any part of the Premises, together with all documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating thereto, and may exclude the Grantor and its employees, agents or servants therefrom, and the Grantee may then hold, operate, manage and control the Premises, either personally or by its agents.  The Grantee shall have full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as in its discretion may be deemed proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the avails, rents, issues, and profits of the Premises, including actions for the recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer and actions in distress for rent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantee shall have full power to:

 

(a)                                   Cancel or terminate any lease or sublease for any cause or on any ground which would entitle the Grantor to cancel the same;

 

(b)                                  Elect to disaffirm any lease or sublease which is then subordinate to this Deed to Secure Debt;

 

(c)                                   Extend or modify any then existing leases and to enter into new leases, which extensions, modifications and leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the Maturity Date and beyond the date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon the Grantor and all persons whose interests in the Premises are subject to this Deed to Secure Debt and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of the Indebtedness, satisfaction of any foreclosure judgment, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser;

 

(d)                                  Make any repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements to the Premises as the Grantee deems are necessary;

 

(e)                                   Insure and reinsure the Premises and all risks incidental to the Grantee’s possession, operation and management thereof; and

 

(f)                                     Receive all of such avails, rents, issues and profits.

19.                                  Application of Income Received by Grantee .  The Grantee, in the exercise of the rights and powers hereinabove conferred upon it, shall have full power to use and apply the avails, rents, issues and profits of the Premises to the payment of or on account of the following, in such order as the Grantee may determine:

 

(a)                                   To the payment of the operating expenses of the Premises, including cost of management and leasing thereof (which shall include compensation to the Grantee and its agent or agents, if management be delegated to an agent or agents, and shall also include lease commissions and other compensation and expenses of seeking and procuring tenants and entering into leases), established claims for damages, if any, and premiums on insurance hereinabove authorized;

 

(b)                                  To the payment of taxes and special assessments now due or which may hereafter become due on the Premises; and

 

(c)                                   To the payment of any Indebtedness, including any deficiency which may result from any foreclosure sale.

 

20.                                  Compliance with Georgia Deed to Secure Debt Foreclosure Law .

 

(a)                                   If any provision in this Deed to Secure Debt shall not comply with any statutory law of the State pertaining to foreclosures, such laws shall take precedence over the provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Deed to Secure Debt that can be construed in a manner consistent with such laws.

 

(b)                                  If any provision of this Deed to Secure Debt shall grant to the Grantee (including the Grantee acting as a mortgagee-in-possession) or a receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt any powers, rights or remedies prior to, upon or following the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt which are more limited than the powers, rights or remedies that would otherwise be vested in the Grantee or in such receiver under the applicable laws of the State in the absence of said provision, the Grantee and such receiver shall be vested with the powers, rights and remedies granted by the applicable laws of the State to the full extent permitted by law.

 

(c)                                   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all expenses incurred by the Grantee, whether incurred before or after any decree or judgment of foreclosure, and whether or not enumerated in this Deed to Secure Debt, shall be added to the Indebtedness by the judgment of foreclosure.

 

21.                                  Rights Cumulative .  Each right, power and remedy herein conferred upon the  Grantee is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, given now or hereafter existing under any of the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, and each and every right, power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the  Grantee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one right, power or remedy shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy, and no delay or omission of the Grantee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing hereunder or arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy, or be

 

19



 

construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt or acquiescence therein.

 

22.                                  Grantee’s Right of Inspection .  The Grantee and its representatives shall have the right to inspect the Premises and the books and records with respect thereto at all reasonable times upon not less than 24 hours’ prior notice to the Grantor, and access thereto, subject to the rights of tenants in possession, shall be permitted for that purpose.

(d)                                  The Grantor shall pay each such Contested Lien and all Lien Amounts together with interest and penalties thereon (i) if and to the extent that any such Contested Lien shall be determined adverse to the Grantor, or (ii) forthwith upon demand by the Grantee if, in the opinion of the Grantee, and notwithstanding any such contest, the Premises shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed; provided that if the Grantor shall fail so to do, the Grantee may, but shall not be required to, pay all such Contested Liens and Lien Amounts and interest and penalties thereon and such other sums as may be necessary in the judgment of the Grantee to obtain the release and discharge of such liens; and any amount expended by the Grantee in so doing shall be so much additional Indebtedness bearing interest at the Default Rate until paid, and payable upon demand; and provided further that the Grantee may in such case use and apply monies deposited as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section and may demand payment upon any bond or title indemnity furnished as aforesaid.

(m)                                The Assignor shall not execute hereafter any Lease unless there shall be included therein a provision providing that the tenant thereunder acknowledges that such Lease has been assigned pursuant to this Assignment and agrees not to look to the Assignee as mortgagee, mortgagee in possession or successor in title to the Premises for accountability for any security deposit required by lessor under such Lease unless such sums have actually been received in cash by the Assignee as security for tenant’s performance under such Lease; and

 

(n)                                  If any tenant under any Lease is or becomes the subject of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time, or any other federal, state or local statute which provides for the possible termination or rejection of the Leases assigned hereby, the Assignor covenants and agrees that if any such Lease is so terminated or rejected, no settlement for damages shall be made without the prior written consent of the Assignee, and any check in payment of damages for termination or rejection of any such Lease will be made payable both to the Assignor and the Assignee.  The Assignor hereby assigns any such payment to the Assignee and further covenants and agrees that upon the request of the Assignee, it will duly endorse to the order of the Assignee any such check, the proceeds of which shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 below.

(b)                                  The Assignor fails to perform or observe, or to cause to be performed or observed, any other obligation, covenant, term, agreement or provision required to be performed or observed by the Assignor under this Assignment; provided, however, that:

 

(i)                                      If such failure can be cured solely by the payment of money, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless it shall continue for a period of five days after written notice to the Assignor;

 

(ii)                                   If such failure cannot be cured solely by the payment of money and does not pose an emergency or dangerous condition or a material threat to the security for the Loan, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless it shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Assignor; and

 

(iii)                                If a failure described in (ii) above is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, and if such failure is susceptible of cure, it shall not constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by the Assignor within such 30-day period and is diligently pursued and such failure is cured within 90 days after the occurrence of such failure.

 

(c)                                   The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

7.                                        Rights and Remedies Upon Default .  At any time upon or following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Assignee, at its option, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies without any obligation to do so, without in any way waiving such Event of Default, without further notice or demand on the Assignor, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the obligations secured hereby, without releasing the Assignor or any guarantor of the Note from any obligation, and with or without bringing any action or proceeding to foreclose the Deed to Secure Debt or any other lien or security interest granted by the Loan Documents:

 

(a)                                   The Assignee may declare the unpaid balance of the principal sum of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately due and payable.

 

(b)                                  The Assignee may enter upon and take possession of the Premises, either in person or by agent or by a receiver appointed by a court, and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the same on such terms and for such period of time as the Assignee may deem necessary or proper, with full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto or thereof as may seem proper to the Assignee, to make, enforce, modify and accept the surrender of Leases, to obtain and evict tenants, to fix or modify rents, and to do any other act which the Assignee deems necessary or proper.

(c)                                   The Assignee may either with or without taking possession of the Premises, demand, sue for, settle, compromise, collect, and give acquittances for all rents, issues, income and profits of and from the Premises and pursue all remedies for  enforcement of the Leases and all the lessor’s rights therein and thereunder.  This Assignment shall constitute an authorization and direction to the tenants under the Leases to pay all rents and other amounts payable under the Leases to the Assignee, without proof of default hereunder, upon receipt from the Assignee of written notice to thereafter pay all such rents and other amounts to the Assignee and to comply with any notice or demand by the Assignee for observance or performance of any of the covenants, terms, conditions and agreements contained in the Leases to be observed or performed by the tenants thereunder, and the Assignor shall facilitate in all reasonable ways the Assignee’s collection of such rents, issues, income and profits, and upon request will execute written notices to the tenants under the Leases to thereafter pay all such rents and other amounts to the Assignee.

 

(d)                                  The Assignee may make any payment or do any act required herein of the Assignor in such manner and to such extent as the Assignee may deem necessary, and any amount so paid by the Assignee shall become immediately due and payable by the Assignor with interest thereon until paid at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Assignment.

 

8.                                        Application of Funds .  Except as otherwise provided in the Deed to Secure Debt or by applicable law, all sums collected and received by the Assignee out of the rents, issues, income and profits of the Premises following the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default shall be applied in such order as the Assignee shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

9.                                        Limitation of the Assignee’s Liability; Indemnity .  The Assignee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by the Assignor resulting from the Assignee’s failure to let the Premises or from any other act or omission of the Assignee in managing, operating or maintaining the Premises following the occurrence of an Event of Default.  The Assignee shall not be obligated to observe, perform or discharge, nor does the Assignee hereby undertake to observe, perform or discharge any covenant, term, condition or agreement contained in any Lease to be observed or performed by the lessor thereunder, or any obligation, duty or liability of the Assignor under or by reason of this Assignment.  The Assignor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, defend (using counsel satisfactory to the Assignee) and hold the Assignee harmless from and against any and all liability, loss or damage which the Assignee may incur under any Lease or under or by reason of this Assignment and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Assignee by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking on the Assignee’s part to observe or perform any of the covenants, terms, conditions and agreements contained in any Lease; provided, however, in no event shall the Assignor be liable for any liability, loss or damage which the Assignee incurs as a result of the Assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Should the Assignee incur any such liability, loss or damage under any Lease or under or by reason of this Assignment, or in the defense of any such claim or demand, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, shall become immediately due and payable by the Assignor with interest thereon at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Assignment.  This Assignment shall not

operate to place responsibility upon the Assignee for the care, control, management or repair of the Premises or for the carrying out of any of the covenants, terms, conditions and agreements contained in any Lease, nor shall it operate to make the Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed upon the Premises by any tenant, occupant or other party, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Premises, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Premises resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, occupant, licensee, employee or stranger.  Nothing set forth herein or in the Deed to Secure Debt, and no exercise by the Assignee of any of the rights set forth herein or in the Deed to Secure Debt shall constitute or be construed as constituting the Assignee a “mortgagee in possession” of the Premises, in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Premises by the Assignee pursuant to the provisions hereof or of the Deed to Secure Debt.

 

10.                                  No Waiver .  Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted to be done by the Assignee pursuant to the rights and powers granted to it hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Assignee of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents.  This Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies of the Assignee under the terms and provisions of such instruments, and the Assignee may exercise any of its rights and remedies under the terms and provisions of such instruments either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by the Assignee hereunder.  The Assignee may take or release any other security for the performance of the obligations secured hereby, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor, and may apply any other security held by it for the satisfaction of the obligations secured hereby without prejudice to any of the Assignee’s rights and powers hereunder.

 

11.                                  Further Assurances .  The Assignor shall execute or cause to be executed such additional instruments (including, but not limited to, general or specific assignments of such Leases as the Assignee may designate) and shall do or cause to be done such further acts, as the Assignee may request, in order to permit the Assignee to perfect, protect, preserve and maintain the assignment made to the Assignee by this Assignment.

 

12.                                  Security Deposits .  The Assignor acknowledges that the Assignee has not received for its own account any security deposited by any tenant pursuant to the terms of the Leases and that the Assignee assumes no responsibility or liability for any security so deposited.

 

13.                                  Compliance with Law of State .

 

(a)                                   If any provision in this Assignment shall be inconsistent with any provision of the applicable laws of the State in which the Premises are located, such laws shall take precedence over the provisions of this Assignment, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Assignment that can be construed in a manner consistent with such laws.

 

(b)                                  If any provision of this Assignment shall grant to the Assignee any powers, rights or remedies prior to, upon or following the occurrence of an Event of Default which are more limited than the powers, rights or remedies that would otherwise be vested in the Assignee under applicable laws of the State in which the Premises are located in the absence of said provision, the Assignee shall be vested with the powers, rights and remedies granted by such laws to the full extent permitted by law.

14.                                  Severability .  If any provision of this Assignment is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of law, or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any administrative agency or any court, the Assignee and the Assignor shall negotiate an equitable adjustment in the provisions of the same in order to effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the purpose of this Assignment and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions or applications thereof, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

 

15.                                  Successors and Assigns .  This Assignment is binding upon the Assignor and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, and the rights, powers and remedies of the Assignee under this Assignment shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its successors and assigns.

 

16.                                  Prior Agreements; No Reliance; Modifications .  This Assignment shall represent the entire, integrated agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter of this Assignment, and shall supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements pertaining thereto, either oral or written.  The Assignor acknowledges it is executing this Assignment without relying on any statements, representations or warranties, either oral or written, that are not expressly set forth herein.  This Assignment and any provision hereof shall not be modified, amended, waived or discharged in any manner other than by a written amendment executed by all parties to this Assignment.

 

17.                                  Duration .  This Assignment shall become null and void at such time as the Assignor shall have paid the principal sum of the Note, together with all interest thereon, and shall have fully paid and performed all of the other obligations secured hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

 

18.                                  Governing Law .  This Assignment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. The recording of a satisfaction of the Deed to Secure Debt by the Assignee shall terminate this Asignment.

 

19.                                  Notices .  All notices, demands, requests and other correspondence which are required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed sufficiently given when delivered or mailed in the manner and to the addresses of the Assignor and the Assignee, as the case may be, as specified in the Deed to Secure Debt.

THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE dated as of July 2, 2012 (this Guaranty ), is executed by GLENVUE H&R NURSING, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (the Operator ), and ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., an Ohio corporation ( AdCare ) (the Operator and AdCare being sometimes referred to herein collectively as the Guarantors ), jointly and severally, to and for the benefit of THE PRIVATEBANK AND TRUST COMPANY , an Illinois banking corporation (the Lender ).

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                    The Lender has agreed to make a loan in the principal amount of $6,600,000 (the Loan ) to Glenvue H&R Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the Borrower ), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the Loan Agreement ) by and between the Borrower and the Lender.  The Loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note of even date herewith (the Note ) from the Borrower to the Lender in the principal amount of $6,600,000.  All terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

B.                                      As a condition precedent to the making of the Loan to the Borrower by the Lender and in consideration therefor, the Lender has required the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by the Guarantors.

 

C.                                      The Operator is the lessee of the Project and is deriving a benefit from the making of the Loan by the Lender, and has agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty to the Lender.  AdCare has an ownership interest in the Borrower, either directly or indirectly through one or more intermediary entities, and, having a financial interest in the Borrower, has agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty to the Lender.

 

AGREEMENTS

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.                                        Guaranty of Payment .  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, of the indebtedness and other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender evidenced by the Note and any other amounts that may become owing by the Borrower under the Loan Documents (such indebtedness, obligations and other amounts are hereinafter referred to as the Payment Obligations ).  This Guaranty is a present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectability, and the Lender shall not be required to prosecute collection, enforcement or other remedies against the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other guarantor of the Payment Obligations, or to enforce or resort to any collateral for the repayment of the Payment Obligations or other rights or remedies pertaining

 



 

thereto, before calling on any Guarantor for payment.  If for any reason the Borrower shall fail or be unable to pay, punctually and fully, any of the Payment Obligations, the Guarantors shall jointly and severally pay such obligations to the Lender in full immediately upon demand.  One or more successive actions may be brought against the Guarantors, or any of them, as often as the Lender deems advisable, until all of the Payment Obligations are paid and performed in full.  The Payment Obligations and the Performance Obligations (as defined below) are referred to herein as the Guaranteed Obligations .”

 

2.                                        Guaranty of Performance .  In addition to the guaranty of the Payment Obligations, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, (i) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Borrower of each and every other obligation, undertaking, liability, promise, warranty, covenant and agreement of the Borrower in and under the terms of the Loan Documents; and (ii) the truth of each and every representation and warranty made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents or in other certificates or documents delivered in connection with the Loan (the matters described in (i) and (ii) above being collectively referred to herein as the Performance Obligations ).

 

3.                                        Representations and Warranties .  The following shall constitute representations and warranties of each Guarantor and each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Lender intends to make the Loan in reliance thereon:

The Operator has full power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted, to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and to perform all of its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party; and such execution and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary Legal Requirements.  The articles of organization and operating agreement of the Operator, each as amended to date, copies of which have been furnished to the Lender, are in effect, have not been further amended, and are the true, correct and complete documents relating to the Operator’s creation and governance.

 

(b)                                  AdCare is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.  AdCare has full power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted, to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and to perform all of its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party; and such execution and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary Legal Requirements.  The articles of incorporation and bylaws of AdCare, each as amended to date, copies of which have been furnished to the Lender, are in effect, have not been further amended, and are the true, correct and complete documents relating to AdCare’s creation and governance.

 

(c)                                   Each Guarantor is not in default and no event has occurred that with the passage of time or the giving of notice will constitute a default under any agreement to which such Guarantor is a party, the effect of which will impair performance by such Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will violate any

 

2



 

applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order, or will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the articles of organization or operating agreement of the Operator, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of AdCare, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind that creates, represents, evidences or provides for any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of any Guarantor, or any other indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind to which any Guarantor is a party or to which any Guarantor or the property of any Guarantor may be subject.

 

(d)                                  There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental or administrative proceedings, actions, examinations, claims or demands pending, or to the Guarantors’ knowledge, threatened that could adversely affect performance by any Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty.

 

(e)                                   Neither this Guaranty nor any statement or certification as to facts previously furnished or required herein to be furnished to the Lender by any Guarantor, contains any material inaccuracy or untruth in any representation, covenant or warranty or omits to state a fact material to this Guaranty.

(g)                                  Any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, receivership, liquidation, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar events or proceedings with respect to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, as applicable, or any of their respective property or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding;

5.                                        Waivers .  Each Guarantor expressly and unconditionally waives (i) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 4 above, (ii) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights against the Guarantors, including, without limitation, any demand, presentment and protest, proof of notice of non-payment under any of the Loan Documents and notice of any Event of Default or any failure on the part of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations to perform or comply with any covenant, agreement, term or condition of any of the Loan Documents, (iii) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations of any right or remedy conferred under any of the Loan Documents, (iv) any requirement of diligence on the part of any person or entity, (v) to the fullest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, any claims based on allegations that the Lender has failed to act in a commercially reasonable manner or failed to exercise the Lender’s obligation of good faith and fair dealing, (vi) any requirement to exhaust any remedies or to mitigate the damages resulting from any default under any of the Loan Documents, and (vii) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any right, title or interest of the Lender under

The funds on deposit in the Project Fund shall be expended by checks issued by the Trustee on the basis of requisitions to pay Project Costs. Such requisitions shall be originated, approved and executed by the Authorized Owner Representative, Authorized Authority Representative and Architect or Engineer, if appropriate, in that order. Such requisitions shall be in the form of Payment Requisition attached to this Loan Agreement (with such revisions as may be approved by Bond Counsel), shall be accompanied by invoices or orders to be paid as determined by Owner; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, until the general contractor has been selected for project construction and its performance bond approved by Underwriter, evidence of which shall be delivered to Trustee, not in excess of $400,000 of the monies available in the Project Fund shall be disbursed. Should the general contractor not be selected and its performance bond tendered to Underwriter for approval prior to January 12, 1987, the Bonds will be subject to extraordinary mandatory redemption as provided in the Bonds. As required by Section 178(D) of the Public

 

18



 

Trust Act, the Authority shall report to the Board all expenditures made from the Project Fund, by means of a copy, forwarded by the Trustee to the Board, of all requisitions paid from the Project Fund or such other means to convey the information as determined by Trustee. The Owner will cause the Facilities to be acquired, constructed and equipped with all reasonable dispatch. The Owner represents that all such Facilities were ordered from the vendor, supplier or manufacturer thereof, or acquisition, construction, or development thereof was initiated subsequent to the date of the Inducement Resolution.

 

If at any time prior to Completion Date, the Trustee shall, in its option, determine that the undisbursed funds in the Project Fund are insufficient to pay the then remaining Project Costs, the Trustee may, but shall be under no obligation to do so, require the Owner to deposit in the Project Fund, such sum or sums which when added to the funds on deposit therein, shall be adequate in the Trustee’s opinion, to pay the then remaining Project Costs. Failure of the Owner to make such a deposit within ten (10) days (or in all events by August 31, 1989) after written demand therefor by the Trustee shall constitute a Default. The Owner recognizes that the Trustee shall have the right under this Section to require deposit of funds by the Owner in the Project Fund any time after the issuance of the Bonds and prior to the Completion Date.

 

Provided the Authority and Owner are otherwise in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, the Trustee shall not be obligated to make any or further disbursements from the Project Fund, or to allow Payment Requisitions to be paid, if a Default exists and remains uncured or unwaived.

 

The Project Fund shall be kept in the Trustee, shall be held in a separate and special trust account for the benefit of the Bondholders and shall not be subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of the Trustee, Letter of Credit Bank, Authority or Owner. Such funds shall constitute part of the Trust Estate and be subject to the lien thereon of the Indenture.

 

SECTION 304 .          Investment of Project Fund; Disposition of Investment Income; Application of Excess Funds Upon Completion of Facilities . Monies on deposit in the Project Fund above the current need for payment of Project Costs may at the request of the Owner be invested in Investment Obligations. The Authorized Owner Representative shall request, direct and approve all such investments and such investments shall mature in such amounts and at such times as shall be necessary to provide funds when needed to pay Project Costs from the Project Fund. The Owner shall furnish to the Trustee a schedule of estimated times and amounts of demands upon the Project Fund. Net income and gain received and collected from investment of monies in Project Fund shall be applied as received to offset any investment losses in the Project Fund, and the balance shall remain in the Project Fund until completion. The amount of excess monies in the Project Fund after the Completion Date and payment of all Project Costs shall be transferred from the Project Fund and deposited in the Bond Fund.

 

19



 

SECTION 305 .          Arbitrage Covenants . The Authority and the Owner certify and covenant that so long as the Bonds remain outstanding, money on deposit in any fund or account in connection with said Bonds, whether or not such monies were derived from the proceeds of the Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used, allowed to accumulate or invested in a manner which will cause such Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 103(c) of the Code and any regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, as the same presently exist or may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented or revised. The parties reserve the right, however, to make any investment of such monies if, when, and to the extent that said Section 103(c) or regulations promulgated hereafter shall be repealed ore relaxed or shall be held void by final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, but only if any investment made by virtue of such repeal, relaxation or decision would not result, in the opinion of counsel of recognized competence in such matters, in making the interest on the Bonds subject to Federal income taxation. Under Treasury Regulations in effect under Section 103(c) of the Code on the date of issuance of the Bonds, the yield on Investment Obligations in which the Project Fund is invested will be restricted to the yield on the Bonds. The requirements for’ expenditure of Project Fund investment earnings contained in Articles V and VI of the Indenture shall be observed and the Bond proceeds expended within three (3) years of Bond issuance (or other applicable temporary front end safe harbor period).

 

SECTION 306 .          Certificate of Completion . Upon completion of acquisition, construction, development and equipping of the Facilities, a certificate of completion signed by the Authorized Owner Representative shall be filed with the Authority and the Trustee.

 

The Owner covenants and agrees to cause the completion of acquisition, construction and equipping of the Facilities and tender a certificate of completion on or before August 31, 1989. Such certificate of completion shall state the Completion Date and inform the Authority, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Trustee that all Project Costs have been paid, with the exceptions therein set out.

 

Upon receipt of such certificate of completion and upon receipt of approval thereof by the Authorized Authority Representative and upon payment of all Project Costs then remaining unpaid, the Trustee shall apply the balance, except for monies necessary to pay for those exceptions set out in the certificate of completion, in such Project Fund in accordance with Section 304 of this Loan Agreement. After the filing of the certificate of completion and final payment and transfer from such Project Fund, requisition procedures shall not be used for Additions or Restoration to the Facilities.

 

SECTION 307 .          Manufacturers, Vendors, Suppliers, Contractors and Subcontractors; Pursuit of Remedies . In the event of default by any manufacturer, vendor, supplier, contractor or subcontractor under any purchase, construction or improvement contract made by it in connection with the Project or in the event of breach of warranty with respect to any material, workmanship or performance, the Owner will

 

20



 

promptly proceed (subject to the Trustee’s advice to the contrary), either separately or in conjunction with others, to exhaust the remedies of the Owner against the manufacturer, vendor, supplier, contractor or subcontractor so in default and against each surety for the performance of such contract. The Owner agrees to advise the Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank of the steps it intends to take in connection with any such default. If the Trustee shall so notify the Owner, the Trustee may, in its own name or in the name of the Owner, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take any other action involving any such manufacturer, vendor, supplier, contractor, sub-contractor or surety which the Trustee deems reasonably necessary, and in such event the Owner hereby agrees to cooperate fully with the Trustee and to take all action necessary to effect the substitution of the Trustee for the Owner in any such action or proceeding. Any amounts recovered by way of damages, refunds, adjustments or otherwise in connection with the foregoing [a] if the Trustee or Owner has corrected, at its own expense, the matter which gave rise to such default or breach, shall be paid to such Trustee or Owner; otherwise [b] shall be paid into the Project Fund unless recovered after the Completion Date and full disposition of the Project Fund, in which case the amounts shall be disposed of in the same manner as excess Project Fund monies, in accordance with Section 304 of this Loan Agreement.

 

SECTION 308 .          Owner Required to Pay Project Costs in Event Bond Proceeds Insufficient . In the event the proceeds of the Bonds loaned to the Owner by deposit to the Project Fund for payment or reimbursement for payment of Project Costs, and monies on deposit in the Project Fund should not be sufficient to pay such Project Costs in full, the Owner agrees to deposit in the Project Fund or to pay the portion of such Project Costs as may be in excess of the proceeds of the Bonds and the monies on deposit in the Project Fund. The Authority, Letter of Credit Bank and Trustee do not make any warranty, either express or implied, that the proceeds of the Bonds will be sufficient to pay all such Project Costs. The Owner agrees that if the Owner should pay any portion of such Project Costs pursuant to the provisions of this Section, it shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Authority, Letter of Credit Bank or Trustee except to the extent of the proceeds of the Bonds, and it shall not be entitled to any diminution of payments payable under the Owner’s Note or this Loan Agreement. The Trustee may require deposits by the Owner in the Project Fund in accordance with Section 303 hereof.

 

SECTION 309 .          Guaranty Agreement of Owner with Respect to Bonds . The Owner, as primary obligor, in consideration of the Project Loan, evidenced by the Owner’s Note, made by the Authority and to induce such Project Loan, hereby guarantees the prompt payment when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any and all principal, interest, liability and Indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Secured Indebtedness) of the Authority to the Trustee and Bondholders on and under the Bonds, the Indenture and this Loan Agreement. The obligation of the Owner hereunder constitutes an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the Indebtedness

 

21



 

irrespective of any other security for said Indebtedness. The obligation of the Owner hereunder is to pay the principal, interest, liabilities and Indebtedness and any and all other sums due under the Indenture, this Loan Agreement and the Bonds regardless of any contingencies whatsoever, and notwithstanding any circumstances or occurrences heretofore or hereafter arising or taking place or any action or inaction on the part of the Trustee or the Authority. The Owner’s agreement to pay the principal, interest, liability and Indebtedness due under the Indenture, this Loan Agreement and the Bonds shall not be subject to any rights of setoff, recoupment, abatement or counter-claim by the Owner. The Owner may not suspend or discontinue such payment or terminate this guaranty agreement until such Bonds and the Indebtedness are paid and retired. The Owner hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment, notice of dishonor and diligence in collection of the Bonds and Indebtedness and notice of acceptance of this guaranty agreement. The Trustee shall not be required before enforcing any liability of the Owner hereunder to exhaust any remedies against the Authority, or to attempt to collect upon or resort to any other security for the Bonds or Indebtedness. This guaranty agreement shall be a guaranty of payment, and is not limited to a guaranty of collection. Provided, however, notwithstanding any provision in this Section to the contrary, the obligations of Owner herein are payable solely from the Trust Estate, It is understood and agreed by the parties that the debt obligations incurred in the Owner’s Note by the partners of the Owner are not general obligations of said partners but are limited obligations payable solely from specific revenues and secured by certain collateral.

 

All liability of the Owner to the Trustee and Bondholders hereunder shall, at the option of the Trustee, mature immediately, and all sums, the payments of which are guaranteed or agreed to be paid under this guaranty agreement shall become accelerated and immediately due and payable forthwith, upon the occurrence of any Default.

 

Without in any way limiting the absolute, certain, and unconditional character of the Owner’s obligations as just stated, but rather in amplification thereof, the Owner agrees that the Authority or Trustee may at any time and from time to time without notice to or the consent of the Owner, without incurring any responsibility whatsoever to the Owner, and without affecting, impairing, releasing or in any way diminishing the obligations of the Owner hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part [a] grant extensions of time to the Authority or the Owner for the performance of any obligations to the Trustee under the Indenture, this Loan Agreement or the Bonds; [b] alter, supplement, amend or modify any Project Document in accordance with terms thereof and particularly Article XI of the Indenture; [c] exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Authority or Owner or others or otherwise act or refrain from taking any action whatever; [d] settle or compromise in any other manner the indebtedness arising under or represented by the Bonds and Project Documents; and/or [e] exercise any rights or privileges granted under and pursuant to the terms of the aforesaid Project Documents.

 

22



 

No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Bonds, any security therefor or any Project Document shall affect, impair, diminish or be a defense to this guaranty agreement. Any claim which the Owner may have against the Authority or Trustee for any reason (including without limitation any claim arising by reason of any payment made by the Owner to the Authority or the Trustee or any other person pursuant to or in respect of any of the Project Documents) shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Bonds and all other obligations under the Project Documents.

 

This guaranty agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma. This guaranty agreement shall extend to and bind the respective successors and assigns of the Owner.

 

This guaranty agreement shall become automatically null and of no further effect from and after the time that [i] the Bonds and Indebtedness have been paid or prepaid as permitted in the Indenture, and [ii] all other obligations of the Owner to the Trustee and the Authority under the Project Documents have been performed and satisfied, and all other obligations of the Owner to the Authority and Trustee under this guaranty agreement have been performed and satisfied. The Owner agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by the Authority or Trustee in enforcing or attempting to enforce this guaranty agreement or protecting their respective rights following any Default on the part of Owner under any Project Document, whether the same shall be enforced by suit or otherwise.

SECTION 401 .          Additional Payments .

 

Impositions .  The Owner does hereby agree to pay to the entity levying or requiring the payment of such Impositions, in addition to all other payments payable under this Loan Agreement, all Impositions (provided that with respect to Impositions that may be lawfully paid in installments over a period of years, the Owner shall be obligated to pay only such installments as are required to be paid during the term hereof). The Owner may pay such Impositions in installments, if so payable by law, whether or not interest accrues on the unpaid balance. The Owner shall promptly forward to the Authority and the Trustee a certification or other evidence satisfactory to the Authority and Trustee of payment in full or in part of any Imposition. The Owner shall have the right, upon written notice to the Trustee, to contest by appropriate and timely proceedings the validity or amount of any Imposition and in such event the Owner may permit any such Imposition to remain unsatisfied and undischarged during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom provided the Owner effectively stays or prevents any judicial or official sale of all or part of the Facilities by reason of non-payment of such Imposition. Should the title of the Owner to any part of the Facilities be materially and imminently endangered or jeopardized, due to non-payment of the said Imposition, such Imposition shall be promptly paid by the Owner. In the event the Owner fails to pay any Imposition, the Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank, after first notifying the Owner of any such failure on its part, may (but shall not be obligated to) pay any such Imposition, and the amounts so advanced shall be paid promptly by the Owner as Secured Indebtedness upon the Trustee’s or Letter of Credit Bank’s presentation of statements, invoices or receipts evidencing the same.

 

Administrative Payments . As Additional Payments, during the term hereof, the Owner further agrees to pay the Administrative Payments as and when the same shall become due.

 

Annual Audit Costa . During the term hereof, Owner further agrees to pay directly to Authority immediately upon receipt of a bill therefore, Owner’s proportionate share of the annual audit costs of the Authority.

 

Owner’s Note Payments . Owner reconfirms that, to the best of its knowledge, the amounts required to be paid by Owner pursuant to the Owner’s Note and the Indenture, plus any other amounts available pursuant to the Indenture, will be sufficient at all times to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, to maintain all other Funds established under the Indenture at their required levels. In case the Payments recited in the Owner’s Note be insufficient to meet debt service requirements with respect to the Bonds as conclusively determined by the Trustee, then, in that event, the Trustee shall calculate

 

24



 

such deficiency, and the Owner hereby agrees to pay any such deficiency so determined within a reasonable time after notification by the Trustee of such deficiency, not to exceed sixty (60) days, and thereafter the Trustee may adjust such Owner’s Note Payments so that they will at all times thereafter be sufficient so as to enable the Trustee to make debt service requirements on the Bonds in all respects. In like manner Owner hereby covenants and agrees to keep and maintain the Debt Service Reserve Fund established under the Indenture with a minimum balance required by the Indenture, and in like manner to furnish any monies to the Trustee necessary or required to effect this end, all within 60 days after demand therefor by the Trustee. In the event the Owner fails to pay any Payment or Indebtedness, with or without first notifying the Owner of any such failure on its part, Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) pay any such Payment or Indebtedness, and the amounts so advanced shall be paid promptly by the Owner as Secured Indebtedness upon the presentation of statements, invoices or receipts evidencing the same.

 

Costs of Issuing Bonds . The Bonds issued to finance the Project and to make the Project Loan (as an acquired purpose obligation and not as an acquired program obligation under applicable arbitrage regulations) have been collateralized with the Letter of Credit. With respect thereto, it has been necessary to pay certain administrative costs to issue, carry and repay such Bonds. The Owner hereby covenants to pay to the following described party all administrative fees and expenses ordinary and necessary to administer and service other Trustee’s services so long as they be outstanding, and any other necessary expense thereof, all as is described as follows, to-wit:

 

As additional costs of issuing, carrying and repaying the Bonds, it is necessary that the Trustee be compensated certain ongoing administrative fees for performing its fiduciary functions under the Indenture with relation to the Bonds, including Trustee’s Other Fees.

 

Therefore, to the extent that the Trustee is not paid such fees from Bond proceeds, the Owner agrees to pay beginning September 1, 1986, the annual fees of the Trustee and Trustee’s Other Fees as they become due under applicable terms of the Indenture.

 

Any remedy vested in the Authority or the Trustee by this Loan Agreement or the Indenture for the collection of the Bonds or Secured Indebtedness shall be available to the Authority and the Trustee for collection of Additional Payments and Administrative Payments.

The Owner shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances and regulations and in making or removing modifications, Restorations, remodeling, alterations or Additions shall at no time materially adversely affect or impair the structural soundness or value of the Facilities (provided, however, such overall operating efficiency may be reduced or impaired to the extent necessary to comply with any governmental requirements or regulations) unless the Owner shall, at its own cost and expense, repair any damage and restore the Facilities to their prior structural soundness, value and overall operating efficiency. Unless required by law, competitive bidding shall not be required for modifications, alterations, remodeling, Restorations or Additions.

 

SECTION 406 .          Maintenance .

Without cost to the Owner, the Authority, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank and their representatives or agents shall have the right to make a reasonable number of inspections of the Facilities for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 405 and 406 hereof at reasonable times and in a manner which will not interfere with the Owner’s use thereof. In the event of the Owner’s breach of the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 405 and 406, following ten (10) days written notice to the Owner of specified breaches and its failure to take prompt and efficient action to cure the same, the Authority, Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank or their representatives or agents shall have the right to enter the Facilities for the purpose of curing the same, and the cost thereof shall be paid promptly by the Owner as Secured Indebtedness, upon the Authority’s, the Trustee’s or the Letter of Credit Bank’s presentation of statements or invoices evidencing the same. Nothing in this Article shall require the Owner to permit entry in or on the Facilities of any person who is an officer, employee, servant or agent of, or is acting on behalf of, or in the interest of, a competitor of the Owner.

 

SECTION 409 .          Access of Authority and Trustee to Facilities .

[c]        to connect or “tie-in” wails and utility and other facilities located on the site of the Facilities to other facilities erected on real property adjacent to the site of the Facilities; provided however, that in such event the Owner must furnish the Authority and the Trustee with a certificate of an Independent Engineer that such connection and tie-in of walls and facilities will not materially adversely affect or impair the structural soundness or value of the Facilities or materially reduce the over-all operating efficiency of the Facilities.

 

All modifications, remodeling, alterations or Additions and all connection or “tie-in” walls and other facilities shall be constructed in good and workmanlike manner, conforming to good architectural and engineering practice. Unless required by law, competitive bidding shall not be required for modifications, alterations, remodeling or Additions.

 

SECTION 411 .          Alterations and Additions Made by the Owner Which Become Part of Facilities . With the prior written consent of the Trustee, the Owner, at its own cost and expense, may make or cause to be made the modifications, alterations, remodelings or Additions described in the foregoing Section 410. All modifications, alterations, remodelings or Additions (excluding Excluded Property) shall be free of any liens and encumbrances (except Permitted Encumbrances) and if made pursuant to this Section 411, shall be part of the Facilities and shall be held, operated and maintained on the same terms and conditions as other items included in the Facilities.

 

SECTION 412 .          Additions Made by the Owner Which Do Not Become Fart of Facilities .

No such Additions, title to which is retained by the Owner, shall be deemed part of the Facilities (unless such Additions constitute Substituted Property replacing part of the Facilities as provided in Section 416) and all such Additions shall constitute Excluded Property. The Owner shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term hereof to remove or permit to be removed such Owner-owned Additions constituting Excluded Property from the Facilities and

 

28

No such Additions shall be deemed part of the Facilities unless such Additions constitute Substituted Property replacing part of the Facilities as provided in Section 416. In the event the Authority incurs such indebtedness, the Owner shall contract with the Authority for making of note, lease or other payments sufficient to meet debt service requirements on the indebtedness incurred to finance such Additions or refund the Bonds.

Such Annual Inventory shall identify each Addition as a part of the Facilities or Excluded Property.

 

SECTION 415 .          Removal of Facilities Other Than Land . In the event that the Owner in its sound discretion determines that any Additions, Restorations or Facilities (except the site of the Facilities) which are part of the Facilities have become obsolete, worn out, inadequate, unsuitable, undesirable, uneconomic or unnecessary in the operation of the Facilities (though the Authority and the Trustee shall not be required to renew, repair or replace the same) with the prior written consent of the Authority and the Trustee, the Owner may perform the actions set out in Sections 416 or 417.

 

SECTION 416 .          Removal and Substitution . Subject to the obligations of Section 405 the Owner may remove such Removed Property and sell, trade-in, exchange or otherwise dispose of the Removed Property, provided that the Owner substitutes (with direct payment of the cost thereof) and replaces anywhere in, on or to the Facilities other Substituted Property of equal or greater fair market value at the time of substitution and of equal or greater utility (but not necessarily the same function) in the operation of the Facilities. All such Substituted Property shall be free of any and all liens and encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), shall become part of the Facilities and shall be held, operated and maintained by the Owner on the same terms and conditions as the Removed Property.

30



 

[b]        that in the case of such trade-in of such Removed Property for other items not to be included in the Facilities, the Owner pays to the Trustee (for deposit in the Bond Fund and application to redemption of Bonds) the amount of the credit received by it on such trade-in; or

 

[c]        that in the case of the sale of any such Removed Property to the Owner, the Owner pays to the Trustee (for deposit in the Bond Fund and application to redemption of Bonds) an amount equal to the higher of (i) the original cost thereof less depreciation at rates calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or (ii) the current market value as appraised by an appraiser approved by the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Owner.

 

SECTION 418 .          Annual Inventory of Removals and Substitutions; Identification . The Owner will report to the Authority and the Trustee in the Annual Inventory on or before September 1 of each year, all such removals of Removed Property and substitutions of Substituted Property and will execute and deliver to the Authority and the Trustee such documents as they may from time to time require to confirm the mortgage and pledge of any Substituted Property that under the provisions of Section 416 is to become subject to this Loan Agreement. The Owner will pay all costs (including counsel fees) incurred in subjecting to the lien of this Loan Agreement any Substituted Property that under the provisions of Section 416 is to become subject to this Loan Agreement. A security interest financing statement shall be executed by the Owner and filed with regard to all Substituted Property if deemed necessary by the Trustee to protect the Trustee’s security interest (as assignee) under this Loan Agreement.

 

The Owner covenants that it will not remove, or permit the removal of any Additions, Restorations or Facilities except in accordance with the provisions of this Article IV.

 

SECTION 419 .          No Warranty of Fitness . The Authority, Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank make no warranty, either express or implied, as to the condition, fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability of the Facilities, or any part thereof or that the same will be suitable for the Owner’s purposes or needs. By execution hereof Owner accepts the Facilities in as-is condition, waives objection to defects or deficiencies known, unknown and latent, and acknowledges that no warranties, representations or agreements not expressed herein have been made; provided however, nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed a waiver of any warranty, representation or agreement contained in the purchase, installation or construction contracts for the Project, or the obligations of any manufacturer, vendor, supplier, contractor, or subcontractor with respect to the Project.

 

SECTION 420 .          Indemnification of Authority and Trustee . The Owner covenants and agrees, at its expense, to pay, and to indemnify

 

31



 

and save the Authority, Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank harmless of, from and against any and all claims, damages, expenses, liabilities and taxes (of any character or nature regardless of by whom imposed), losses of every conceivable kind, character and nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to claims for loss or damage to any property or injury to or death of any person) asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or governmental authority arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with the Facilities or the condition, occupancy, use, possession, conduct or management of or any work done in or about the Facilities or from the planning, design, acquisition or construction of the Facilities or any part thereof, or from the leasing or subletting of any part thereof. The Owner also covenants and agrees at its expense, to pay and to indemnify and save the Authority, Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank harmless of, from and against, all costs, reasonable counsel fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in any action or proceeding brought by reason of any such claim or demand. The Authority, Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank agree to give the Owner prompt notice of any such action or proceeding and to refrain from incurring unnecessary costs, fees, expenses and liabilities until default in any such action or proceeding is imminent. In the event any such claim or demand, the Owner, upon notice from the Authority, Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank, covenants to resist and defend against such action or proceeding on behalf of the Authority, Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank. The Owner covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and save the Trustee harmless of, from and against any and all claims, damages, expenses, liabilities and taxes (of any character or nature regardless of by whom imposed), losses of every conceivable kind, character and nature whatsoever asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or govern-mental authority arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with the performance of Trustee’s duties and obligations under the Indenture.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to indemnify or release the Authority, Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank from any liability which they would otherwise had had, arising from the wrongful actions or failure to act on the part of the Authority, Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank or their employees, agents or representatives acting negligently in their capacities contemplated hereby.

 

SECTION 421 .          Types of Insurance Required . The Owner covenants and agrees that at all times during the term hereof it shall at its own cost and expense keep the Facilities insured against such risks as are customarily insured against by businesses of like size and type, including but not necessarily limited to:

 

[a]        Insurance to the extent of the full insurable value (or if less, the amount necessary to pay or prepay the Owner’s Note and all Additional Payments and Secured Indebtedness) of the Facilities against loss or damage by fire, with uniform standard extended coverage endorsement limited only as may be provided in the

 

32



 

standard form of extended coverage endorsement at the time in use in Oklahoma; provided, the coverage on such insurance shall be in an amount sufficient to prevent the Owner, the Authority or the Trustee from becoming co-insurers under the applicable terms of the insurance policies;

 

[b]        Comprehensive general liability insurance (including Blanket Contractual Broad Form Property Damage, Producers and Completed Operations coverage for Owner’s owned, non-owned and hired vehicles and Umbrella Liability Coverage) providing insurance against liability for the death of persons resulting from injuries occurring on or in any way relating to the Facilities, for injuries to persons occurring or in any way relating to the Facilities and for damage to property occurring on or in any way relating to the Facilities. Such insurance for death or injury to persons shall have minimum limits approved by the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank; and

 

[c]        Builders Risk - Completed Value type insurance (including Contractor’s Protective Liability in the event of employment of subcontractors) during the construction of the Facilities against all risks of the type described in subsection [a] of this Section 421 to the extent of the then current full insurable value thereof, or, in lieu thereof, an equivalent rider upon the insurance required by said subsection [a]. In lieu of carrying such insurance described in this subsection [c] the Owner may cause such insurance to be carried by contractors for construction of the Project;

 

[d]        Workmen’s compensation insurance to the extent required by the laws of the State of Oklahoma in effect from time to time during the term of this Loan Agreement or any extension thereof.

 

SECTION 422 .          Insurance Policy Requirements . The Owner shall not commit or allow any act or omission which invalidates any insurance policy required under this Article. All such insurance policies shall be taken out and maintained in generally recognized responsible insurance companies, approved by the Trustee, qualified under the laws of the State of Oklahoma to assume the respective risks undertaken. All policies of insurance herein required to be carried by the Owner shall make the Authority and Trustee co-insureds or additional insureds as their interests may appear. Copies of all insurance policies herein required to be carried or certificates of insurance shall be furnished to the Authority and the Trustee. All such insurance policies shall contain a provision requiring not less than thirty (30) days notification of the Authority and the Trustee of cancellation or

 

33



 

termination thereof. Prior to the expiration or cancellation of any such policy, the Owner will furnish the Authority and the Trustee satisfactory evidence that such policy has been renewed or replaced by another policy. All insurance policies herein required to be carried by the Owner shall contain a standard mortgage clause favoring the Trustee as mortgagee and senior secured party with respect to the coverage for the Facilities.

 

SECTION 423 .          Effecting Insurance on Owner’s Default . In the event the Owner fails to take out or maintain the full insurance coverage required under Section 421 hereof, the Authority or Trustee, after first notifying the Owner of any such failure on their part, may (but shall not be obligated to) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same and the costs thereof so advanced shall be paid promptly by the Owner as Secured Indebtedness, upon the Authority’s or the Trustee’s presentation of statements or invoices evidencing the same.

 

SECTION 424 .          Damage, Destruction and Condemnation . If the Facilities shall be damaged or either partially or totally destroyed at any time during the term hereof, or if the whole or any part of the Facilities shall be taken or condemned by a competent authority for any public use or purpose, there shall be no abatement or reduction in the amounts payable by the Owner under this Loan Agreement or the Owner’s Note on account of such damage, destruction, taking or condemnation. Disposition of Net Recovery shall be made as provided in Sections 425, 426, 427, 428 and/or 429 hereof and shall promptly when received or collected, be deposited in a special and separate fund in the custody of the Trustee to be used as hereinafter provided in said Sections. Pending the expenditure of such special fund or deposit in the Bond Fund or other disposition as provided in said Sections, and at the request of the Owner, the Trustee shall invest the same in Investment Obligations approved by the Owner and Trustee.

 

SECTION 425 .          Making Restorations With Net Recovery . The Owner, at its own cost, shall if the same can be lawfully done, make Restorations (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances) of equivalent efficiency, utility and value approved by the Trustee, on the remaining site of the Facilities, or on any other land in the County suitable for the needs and uses of the Owner. The total amount of available Net Recovery received and recovered shall in that event be paid over by the Trustee to the Owner, at Trustee’s election, either upon the completion of such Restorations or periodically as such Restorations progress, and shall be applied by the Owner to payment of the costs thereof, or if such costs have been already paid by the Owner, to reimburse it for such costs; provided, however, that the aggregate sum or sums so paid by the Trustee shall in no event exceed the actual cost of such Restorations. All payments to the recipient shall be made only upon a certification of an Independent Engineer as to the progress and cost of the Restorations and upon delivery of appropriate receipts for payment of Restoration costs and lien waivers as required by Trustee.

 

34



 

SECTION 426 .         Making Restorations If Net Recovery Insufficient . In the event that the Trustee determines that the Net Recovery is insufficient to meet the costs of making Restorations so as to make the Facilities again usable for their intended purpose, the over-all operating efficiency and value of which has not been materially reduced, then the Owner shall have the obligation [a] to furnish or cause to be furnished funds sufficient, together with the Net Recovery received or recovered, to make the Facilities again usable for their intended purpose without materially reducing the over-all operating efficiency and value thereof, or [b] to make such Restorations and to be reimbursed for the cost therefor from such Net Recovery received or recovered to the extent of such costs of such Restorations or the extent of such Net Recovery received or recovered, whichever is less, in either of which cases the Restorations shall be made as provided in the preceding Section 425.

 

SECTION 427 .         Disposition of Surplus Net Recovery After Making Restorations . Any surplus of such Net Recovery remaining after the completion of all payments for such Restorations shall be applied in the following order of priority:

 

[a]       Payment to the Trustee for deposit in the Principal Account in the Bond Fund to the extent necessary to retire all outstanding Bonds and Secured Indebtedness;

 

[b]       Payment of any Additional Payments; and

 

[c]       Payment to the Owner as an adjustment.

 

SECTION 428 .         Payment of Indebtedness in Lieu of Making Restorations . In lieu of making Restorations to the Facilities in accordance with the preceding Sections 425 or 426, the Owner may direct that the Net Recovery received or recovered shall be deposited and applied by the Trustee in accordance with Section 427 above.

 

In the event the Net Recovery is insufficient to retire all outstanding Indebtedness the Owner shall pay to the Trustee, on demand, for use in retiring all such outstanding Indebtedness, an amount which together with the Net Recovery received or recovered will be sufficient to retire all such outstanding Indebtedness, and cause defeasance under the Indenture and this Loan Agreement. Any surplus Net Recovery remaining after retiring all such outstanding Indebtedness shall be paid to the Owner as an adjustment.

 

SECTION 429 .         Making Restorations or Retiring Indebtedness Upon Failure of Owner To Do So . In the event the Owner shall fail to make Restorations and pay the cost thereof pursuant to Sections 425 or 426 above, or exercise its option to pay and prepay the Indebtedness and pay additional sums required by Section 428 above, after the lapse of a reasonable time and after due notice is given by the Trustee to the Owner;

 

35



 

[a]       The Trustee may make Restorations on behalf of the Owner and recover the reasonable costs thereof from the Owner, less whatever amount is held by the Trustee in the aforesaid special trust fund, which shall be available to the Trustee as a source of reimbursement for such costs, with any surplus being dealt with as provided in Section 427; or

 

[b]       The Trustee shall apply the Net Recovery to retiring the outstanding Indebtedness in the order of priority stated in Section 427 hereof, and upon demand of the Trustee, the Owner shall pay to the Trustee for use in retiring all outstanding Indebtedness and paying all Additional Payments payable under this Loan Agreement, an amount which, together with Net Recovery received or recovered, will be sufficient to retire all outstanding Indebtedness and cause defeasance under the Indenture and this Loan Agreement.

 

SECTION 430 .         Notices, Consultation, Cooperation and Approvals in Event of Damage, Destruction or Condemnation . The Owner and Trustee shall cooperate and consult with each other in all matters pertaining to the settlement, compromise, arbitration or adjustment of any and all claims and demands for damages on account of damage, destruction, taking or condemnation of the Facilities, or any part thereof, and the settlement, compromising, adjustment, or arbitration of any such claim shall be subject to the approval of both such parties.

 

The Owner shall not sell or convey any part of the Facilities under threat of condemnation without the written consent of the Trustee to the terms and conditions of such sale, including the consideration to be received and the delivery date.

 

SECTION 431 .         Non-Abatement of Indebtedness in Event of Damage, Destruction or Condemnation . The Owner shall not, by reason of inability to use any of the Facilities following damage, destruction, taking or condemnation or during the period of making Restorations, or by reason of the payment of sums required by Sections 425, 426, 428 or 429, be entitled to any reimbursement from the Authority or the Trustee or any abatement or diminution of the Indebtedness payable under this Loan Agreement.

 

SECTION 432 .         Conveyance, Assignment and Leasing; Maintenance of Existence and Qualification in Oklahoma; Permitted Exceptions . This Loan Agreement is not assignable by the Owner without prior written consent of the Authority, Trustee, Bond Counsel to the Authority, Letter of Credit Bank and Underwriter, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except for rental arrangements with occupants in the ordinary course of Owner’s business, the Owner may not convey, lease, sublease or grant use or occupancy rights with respect to the Facilities without the prior written consent of the Authority, Trustee, Bond Counsel to the Authority, Letter of Credit Bank and Underwriter, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The

 

36



 

Authority may withhold such consent if, in the opinion of Bond Counsel to the Authority, the lease, conveyance, sublease or use or occupancy rights will or may result in an Event of Taxability or conflict with the purposes of the Authority under the Trust Indenture. Any such assignee, transferee, lessee, sublessee, user or occupant of any part of the Facilities shall be required to assume in writing in a form acceptable to the Authority, all of the Owner’s obligations under this Article IV with respect to the portion of the Facilities used or occupied by such person or entity. No such assignment, conveyance, leasing, subleasing or granting of use or occupancy rights shall in any way relieve the Owner from primary liability for any of its obligations under this Loan Agreement or the Owner’s Note.

 

In the event of sale, lease or other disposition of substantially all of the Facilities the transferee may become the Owner under the Project Documents, upon written assumption by the transferee of all Owner’s obligations thereunder, and the entity which was previously Owner shall no longer have the obligations of Owner effective upon the transfer and assumption; provided, however, the transferee must have operation experience or capability and credit characteristics satisfactory to the Underwriter, Letter of Credit Bank and Authority, and Bond Counsel to the Authority must render an opinion that the transfer will not result in an Event of Taxability or result in a conflict with the purposes of the Authority under its Trust Indenture. The Owner hereby covenants to include the requirements and restrictions contained in this Loan Agreement and the Owner’s Note in any documents transferring any interest in the Facilities to another person to the end that such transferee has notice of, is bound by and agrees to observe such requirements and restrictions.

 

So long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, the Owner hereby covenants and agrees to maintain its existence; not to dissolve or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; and to continuously remain qualified to do business in Oklahoma.

 

The Owner may, without violating any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 432, consolidate with or merge into another partnership and assign its obligations under this Loan Agreement to such other partnership, or permit one or more partnerships to consolidate with or merge into it, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another partnership and assign its obligations under this Loan Agreement to such other partnership and thereafter dissolve, if the partnership surviving such merger or resulting from such consolidation, or the partnership to which all or substantially all of the assets of the Owner are transferred, as the case may be:

 

[a]       expressly assumes in writing all obligations of the Owner contained in this Loan Agreement and the Owner’s Note;

 

[b]       qualifies to do business in Oklahoma; and covenants to remain so qualified and to observe all of the Owner’s covenants in this Section 432 continuously during the remainder of the term hereof; and

 

37



 

[c]       the surviving, resulting or asset-transferee partnership has consolidated net worth (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) at least equal to the consolidated net worth of the Owner, similarly determined, immediately preceding the merger, consolidation or asset transfer.

 

SECTION 433 .         Release of Unimproved Land .  The foregoing Section 432 and any other provision of this Loan Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and so long as no Default has been declared and is continuing unwaived, the Owner may at any time any Bonds are outstanding request in writing to the Authority and Trustee the release of and removal from this Loan Agreement and the mortgage on the Facilities hereby created of any unimproved part of the land included in the Facilities on which none of the Facilities (except parking surfaces or landscaping improvements), equipment, structures, facilities or major appurtenances comprising the Facilities are situated. Upon any such request by the Owner, the Authority and Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments necessary or appropriate to so release and remove such part of the unimproved land from the Facilities and the lien of this Loan Agreement, and the Owner may thereupon encumber or convey such released land; provided that if any Indebtedness is then outstanding and unpaid, no such release shall be effected unless there shall be deposited with the Authority and Trustee the following:

 

[a]       A certificate of an Independent Engineer dated not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the release, stating that, in the opinion of the Independent Engineer signing such certificate, the land so proposed to be released will not materially reduce the over-all operating efficiency of the Facilities or destroy the only means of ingress and egress from the Facilities; and

 

[b]       An amount of cash Net Proceeds for application to prepayment of the Owner’s Note and redemption of Bonds equal to higher of the original cost to the Owner or the current value as appraised by an appraiser approved by the Authority, the Trustee, the Owner and the Letter of Credit Bank (apportioned on an acreage basis) of such part of the land so released.

 

SECTION 434 .         Additional Representations, Covenants and Warranties of the Owner . The Owner does hereby for itself represent, warrant and covenant to the Authority, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Underwriter and Bond Counsel to the Authority on behalf of said Owner and according to the official records of said Owner and the personal knowledge of the signatories hereof on behalf of the Owner, as follows:

 

1.          The Owner is a validly organized and existing Oklahoma limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the State of Oklahoma and is duly qualified to do business in Oklahoma. Owner

 

38



 

will, on the Closing Date have good and marketable title to the Facilities, subject only to the first mortgage herein contained. Owner has filed or caused to be filed and will timely file or cause to be filed all Federal, state and local tax or information returns which are required to be filed, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes as shown on said returns or on any assessment received by it, to the extent that such taxes have become due.

 

2.          The undersigned signatory, JiCo Health Services, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, as general partner acting for and in behalf of the Owner, has executed this Loan Agreement, the Owner’s Note and certain other Project Documents in accordance with the Owner’s Resolution. The aforesaid Owner’s Resolution has not been amended, revoked, or rescinded. This Loan Agreement and the Owner’s Note are now binding and enforceable obligations of the Owner in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by [i] bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; and [ii] exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general equitable principles.

 

3.          The warranties, representations and covenants of the Owner herein and in the other Project Documents are made in order to induce the Authority to enter into this Loan Agreement and issue the Bonds; to induce the Underwriter to purchase the same, to induce the Trustee to enter into this Loan Agreement, the Indenture and other Project Documents; to induce Letter of Credit Bank to provide the Letter of Credit and enter into Project Documents; and to induce the Authority to make the loan evidenced by the Owner’s Note; and such representations, covenants and warranties are made in consideration of the foregoing.

 

4.          The Owner has full power and authority to execute this Loan Agreement and the Owner’s Note and to carry out, perform and consummate all transactions contemplated by the Owner’s Resolution, this Loan Agreement, and the Owner’s Note. The Owner has all necessary powers and governmental authority, licenses and permits to operate the Facilities for nursing home purposes. The operation of the Facilities in the manner presently contemplated and as described herein will not conflict with any zoning, water or air pollution or other ordinance, order, law or regulation applicable thereto. Owner has caused the Facilities to be designed in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws or ordinances (including rules and regulations) relating to zoning, building, safety and environmental quality and will proceed with due diligence to acquire, construct, develop and equip the Facilities pursuant to any applicable contracts related thereto. The Owner shall comply with all applicable laws and continuously keep and maintain a Certificate of Need with the Oklahoma Health Planning Commission and/or other appropriate Federal and/or State administrative authorities; and the Owner further covenants and agrees that all work performed in connection with the Project shall be performed in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws, ordinances, rules and regulations now in force or that may be enacted hereafter.

 

39



 

5.          There is not now pending, or to the knowledge of the Owner threatened, any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or in equity or before or by any court, public board or body against or affecting (i) the existence of the Owner; or (ii) the rights and powers of the general partner and limited partners of the Owner; or (iii) the power and authority of the General Partner to authorize and to sign this Loan Agreement, the Owner’s Note or any Project Document; (iv) the validity or enforceability of the Project Documents or Owner’s Resolution; and to the best of the knowledge of the undersigned signatory on behalf of the Owner, there is no basis for any such action, proceeding, suit, inquiry or investigation wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the transactions contemplated by or the validity or enforceability of the Project Documents.

 

6.          The execution, delivery and receipt of this Loan Agreement, the Owner’s Note and Project Documents will not conflict with or constitute on the part of the Owner a breach or default under any existing law, court or administrative regulation, order or decree applicable to the Owner; any legislative act, constitution, or other provisions relating to the Owner or its affairs, or the Partnership Agreement of the Owner’ or any agreement, resolution, indenture of mortgage, lease or other instrument binding upon the Owner of which the Owner has any knowledge; and to the best knowledge of the Owner, the Owner has no other outstanding obligations or commitments which would, in effect, prevent, condition, restrict, interfere with or impair the compliance of the Owner with the terms of this Loan Agreement or any other Project Document. Owner is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any material agreement or instrument to which it is a party.

 

7.          The Owner has fully complied with all requirements of this Loan Agreement respecting insurance to be carried by it.

 

8.          The Owner will not take or omit to take any action or suffer any action or omission, which action or omission will in any way cause the proceeds of the Owner’s Note or Bonds to be applied in any manner other than as provided in this Loan Agreement. The Project financed with the Bonds consists of the acquisition and installation of property of a character subject to the allowance for depreciation under Section 167 of the Code; and no part of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used directly or indirectly as working capital or to finance inventory. Owner will not take or permit to be taken any action (including, without limitation, any changes in the Facilities or the purpose for which the Facilities are used) which would have the effect, directly or indirectly, of subjecting interest on any of the Bonds to Federal income taxation or violating the permitted purposes or activities of the Authority under the Public Trust Act or Trust Indenture. Owner hereby covenants that no “non-exempt person” or a Related Person (as such terms be defined in Section 103 of the Code) who is a Substantial User (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.103-11) of the Facilities during the 5-year period preceding the

 

40



 

Closing Date will receive directly or indirectly, proceeds of such Bonds in an amount equal to five percent (5%) or more of the face amount thereof (in payment for its interest in the Facilities) and will be a Substantial User of the Facilities at any time during the 5-year period following the Closing Date. Owner further covenants that any Bond proceeds utilized to repay antecedent expenditures or indebtedness of Owner are expenditures made or indebtedness incurred to acquire land or acquire or construct depreciable property (or capitalizable property under Section 266 of the Code) and that all such expenditures or indebtedness were originated subsequent to the date of the Inducement Resolution (the term “originated” as used herein meaning the date any such indebtedness was actually first originated and not any note renewal date on which such indebtedness was merely extended or continued). Owner covenants to comply with any and all Code provisions and Treasury Regulations relating to the Facilities and the financing thereof now or hereafter promulgated and other applicable rulings relevant thereto.

 

9.          The Owner concurs in the representations and estimates made by the Authority in Section 435(11) hereof, and has provided the Authority with facts set forth in subparagraphs [d], [e], and [f] thereof.

 

10.           The Owner has provided the Authority with the information set forth in:

 

[a]           parts IV and V of the Form 8038 Information Return for Private Activity Bond Issues filed or to be filed with respect to the Bonds; and

 

[b]           the Notice of Election of $10,000,000 Exemption for Industrial Development Bonds filed or to be filed with respect to the Bonds.

 

11.        The Owner covenants that at no time will outstanding Industrial Development Bonds issued for the benefit of, when added to Capital Expenditures by all Principal Users of the Facilities or Related Persons, exceed $10,000,000. The Owner recognizes that the Capital Expenditures of, and Industrial Development Bonds issued for the benefit of, each Principal User of the Facilities and Related Persons thereto must be aggregated for the purpose of determining compliance with such covenant. The Owner covenants that it will not make Capital Expenditures and that it will prevent or restrict making of such Capital Expenditures by any other person or entity (or will restrict or deny use or occupancy of the Facilities to the extent necessary to prevent any such person or entity from becoming a Principal User), in or on the Facilities or in the County (the Principal User of which is the Principal User of the Facilities or a Related Person) in an aggregate amount, together with the principal amount of outstanding Industrial Development Bonds issued for the benefit of all Principal Users of the Facilities and Related Persons, exceeding $10,000,000. All references in this Section to $10,000,000 shall be understood to refer to the maximum legal limit under Section 103(b)-

 

41



 

(6)(D) of the Code. In the event such maximum limit is raised or (if applicable to the Bonds) lowered to the new maximum limit to the extent applicable to all Principal Users of the Facilities and Related Persons thereto. The Owner represents that the Federal income tax returns of the Owner are filed at the office of the Internal Revenue Service Center, 3651 South Interregional Highway, Austin, Texas (78741). The Owner covenants and agrees that at the end of each of its four (4) fiscal years following the date of issuance of the Bonds it will furnish to the Authority and the Trustee an annual supplemental statement listing by date and amount all Capital Expenditures made by the Owner, any other Principal User of the Facilities and any other Related Person thereon on or related to the Facilities or on or related to any other Facilities in the County, the Principal User of which is a Principal User of the Facilities or a Related Person, which statement shall be prepared or certified by a recognized certified public accountant. Such annual statement shall be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service by the Owner in accordance with regulations and rulings of the Internal Revenue Service in effect during such period. Proposed regulations in effect on the Closing Date require that a statement which lists by date and amount any such Capital Expenditures be filed together with a copy of the Notice of Election at the office of the Director of the IRS District in which the Facilities are located (on the Closing Date, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) on the due date prescribed for filing of such return (without regard to extensions of time). The cost of such annual supplemental statements of Capital Expenditures shall be paid by Owner. The Owner represents that as of the Closing Date, its fiscal year for income tax purposes ends on December 31 and covenants that annual statements of Capital Expenditures will be filed on or before each September 1 next following its fiscal years ending on December 31 of each of the years 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990.

 

12.        The Owner understands that Bond Counsel to the Authority will rely on the factual information and representations contained herein in rendering an opinion that the interest on the Bonds is exempt from Federal income taxation under Section 103(b) of the Code, and making the filings described in Section 434(10); that the Underwriter will rely on the same information and representations in purchasing the Bonds; and that the Authority will rely on the same information and representations in issuing the Bonds and making the filings described in Section 434(10). The Owner has received from the Authority and Bond Counsel to the Authority a summary of the requirements under Section 103(b)(14) of the Code which must be met in order to the interest on the Bonds to be exempt from Federal income taxation. From this summary, the Owner understands that Section 103(b)(14) provides that the weighted average maturity of the Bonds measured from the later of (a) the date of issuance or (b) the placed in service date of the Facilities, may not exceed 120% of the weighted average useful (economic) life of the Facilities. To demonstrate compliance with this requirement, the Owner has been asked [i] to identify the components of the Facilities and their costs; [ii] to estimate the useful lives of the components of the Facilities; and [iii] to compute the weighted average useful life of the Facilities.

 

42



 

The Project being financed with the proceeds of the Bonds will consist of the acquisition, construction, development and equipping of the Facilities and payment of costs of issuance. The Owner agrees that the components of the Project and the costs are reflected in Section 435(11)[d] of this Loan Agreement. The Owner has no reason to believe that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in any manner other than to pay part of its costs of the acquisition, construction, development and equipping of the Facilities and payment of costs of issuance in the amounts stated in the aforesaid Section 435(11)[d] as the amounts to be expended for those purposes.

 

The acquisition, construction, development and equipping of the Facilities (other than acquisition of the site of the Facilities) is expected to commence during the month of November, 1986, and this date represents the earliest date as of which the Owner expects that it could begin depreciating any property comprising a part of the Facilities.

 

The Owner has elected to determine the weighted average useful life of the Facilities under a certain “safe harbor” provisions and guidelines available under Section 103(b) of the Code. The guidelines are:

 

[a]       For property covered under the Asset Depreciation Range Guidelines established in Revenue Procedure 77-10, 1977-1 C.B.548, as revised (the “ADR Guidelines”), the mid-point useful life of such property under the ADR Guidelines; and

 

[b]       For a structure or building, the guideline life of such property under Revenue Procedures 62-21, 1962-2 C.B.419 as revised (the “Structure Guidelines”).

 

$280,000 (less than 25%) of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used to acquire the site of the Facilities identified on Exhibit “A” hereto. Therefore, under Code §103(b)(14)(C)(ii)(II), land is not taken into account. It is anticipated that real property included in the Project not consisting of land with a cost of $2,528,440 to be paid for from the Project Fund, will constitute buildings and structures and for purposes of the safe harbor provisions, such buildings and structures will be treated as “structure or building” under the Structure Guidelines. Using these Structure Guidelines, the Owner has estimated the useful (economic) lives of the building and structure at fifteen (15) years. Issuance costs of $80,000 will be paid from the Project Fund. It is anticipated that the equipment and other personal property included in the Facilities to be financed from the Project Fund, not consisting of building and structures, will have a cost of $300,000 and will constitute equipment for the purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the ADR Guidelines. Using these ADR Guidelines, the Owner has estimated the useful (economic) lives of such equipment and other personal property at three (3) years.

 

Using the above information the Owner has determined that the weighted average useful life of the Facilities financed with Bond

 

43



 

proceeds is nineteen and seven-tenths (19.7) years by (i) multiplying the respective costs of building and structure by the above Structure Guidelines useful life; and (ii) multiplying the cost of the equipment and other personal property financed with Bond proceeds by the above ADR Guidelines useful life; and (iii) dividing the total of steps (i) [$45,511,920] and (ii) [$1,500,000] by the total costs ($2,828,440). Based on these computations the Owner hereby represents that 120% of the weighted average useful (economic) life were measured from September 1, 1986. The Owner further represents and agrees that it will not make nor will it permit to be made any changes in the Facilities or the use of the proceeds of the Bonds which would cause the weighted average maturity of the Bonds to exceed 120% of the weighted average useful (economic) life of the Facilities financed. The Owner hereby represents that the factual information and representations contained herein do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to be stated herein or necessary to make the statements contained herein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading.

 

No persons other than the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Underwriter, the Authority and Bond Counsel to the Authority and any persons controlling the same and their respective successors and assigns shall have any right under or by virtue of the representations, warranties and covenants in this Section 434. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Loan Agreement shall survive delivery of the Owner’s Note and Bonds, and any investigation made by or on behalf of the aforesaid parties or their respective counsel of any matters described in or related to the transactions contemplated by any Project Document.

 

SECTION 435 .         Representations, Covenants and Warranties of the Authority .

3.          The Authority has taken the following action to comply with the Public Trust Act and the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act:

 

[a]       The Authority has filed with the Oklahoma County Clerk, oaths of office executed by each of the incumbent Trustees of the Authority identified in 2 above.

[c]       The fiscal year of the Authority commences on July 1 of each year and terminates on the following June 30. The fiscal year of the Authority has been certified to the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector and audits of the Authority for all periods through June 30, 1985, have been filed with the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector.

 

[d]       Special meetings of the Authority are held at such places and notices thereof given pursuant to the special meeting provisions in Section 311(11) of the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act.

 

[e]       The Authority has established and adopted By-Laws governing the conduct of the affairs of the Authority and is guided by and relies on the terms of the Trust Indenture, as amended.

 

[f]       Prior to the Closing Date, the Authority has filed with the Internal Revenue Service a Notice of Election of the $10,000,000 Cumulative Small Issue Exemption with respect to the Bonds.

 

4.          Acting in accordance with the Authority Resolution duly adopted by the Trustees of the Authority, the undersigned officers executed, attested and sealed this Loan Agreement, the Indenture, the Bonds and certain other Project Documents. The Bonds, this Loan Agreement, the Indenture and such Project Documents so executed are now binding and enforceable obligations of the Authority in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; and (ii) exercise of judicial discretion in

 

45



 

accordance with general equitable principles. The Authority Resolution has not been amended, revoked or rescinded.

 

5.          The Authority has complied with the provisions of the Public Trust Act (and with regard to the meetings at which the Inducement and Authority Resolutions were adopted, the provisions of the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act) to the extent necessary to issue the Bonds and to validly execute this Loan Agreement, the Indenture and other Project Documents; and the Authority has all necessary powers and governmental authority, licenses and permits to finance the Project and the acquisition, construction, development and equipping of the Facilities; to issue the Bonds; and to carry out and consummate all transactions contemplated by the Authority Resolution, this Loan Agreement, the Indenture and the Bonds.

 

6.          There is not now pending or to the knowledge of the Authority threatened, any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or in equity, or before or by any court, public board or body against or affecting (i) the existence of the Authority; or (ii) the right of its officers and Trustees to hold office; or (iii) the power and authority of its Trustees to authorize and the undersigned Chairman and Secretary or Assistant Secretary to execute this Loan Agreement, the Indenture, the Bonds, or any other Project Document; or (iv) the validity and enforceability of this Loan Agreement, the Indenture, Bonds, any other Project Document, or the Inducement or Authority Resolutions; and to the best of the knowledge of the Authority there is no basis for any such action, proceeding, inquiry or investigation wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the transactions contemplated by or the validity or enforceability of the Project Documents.

 

7.          The execution, delivery and receipt of this Loan Agreement, the Indenture, Bonds and the Project Documents, and compliance with the terms hereof and thereof, will not conflict with or constitute on the part of the Authority a breach of or default under any existing court, law or administrative regulation, order or decree applicable to the Authority; any legislative act, constitution or other provision relating to the Authority or its affairs; or the Trust Indenture creating the Authority; or any agreement, resolution, indenture of mortgage, lease or other instrument binding on the Authority of which the Authority has any knowledge; and to the best knowledge of the Authority, the Authority has no other outstanding obligations or commitments which would in effect prevent, condition, restrict, interfere with or impair the exemption of income of the Authority from Federal or State income taxation or the compliance of the Authority with the terms of this Loan Agreement, the Indenture, Bonds and Project Documents.

 

8.          The Authority will not take or omit to take any action, which action or omission will in any way cause the proceeds of the Bonds to be applied in any manner other than as provided in this Loan Agreement. The Authority will take such action or actions as may be necessary, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel to the Authority

 

46



 

filed with the Authority and the Trustee, to comply fully with all applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, regulations or other official statements promulgated, proposed or made by the Department of Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service pertaining to obligations issued under Section 103 of the Code.

 

9.          The undersigned Chairman and Secretary or Assistant Secretary, pursuant to law and authorization vested in them, have executed the Bonds by facsimile signature (which the undersigned adopt and with respect to which Public Officials Certificates of Manual Signature have been filed in the office of the Oklahoma Secretary of State) in the form set forth in the Indenture and the official seal of the Authority has been impressed or imprinted hereon and thereon. The undersigned are now and were at the time of the execution of the Bonds and Project Documents the duly chosen, qualified and acting officers indicated by said titles.

 

10.        The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered to the Underwriter by the Authority and constitute valid and legally binding special and limited obligations of the Authority and are entitled to the security of and are secured by the Indenture and this Loan Agreement.

 

11.        The Chairman of the Authority executing this Loan Agreement, along with other officials of the Authority, is charged with the responsibility of issuing the Bonds and participating in the transaction respecting such issuance and is otherwise charged with the responsibility of attending to the financial affairs of the Authority; and the following certifications are made by the Authority and Chairman pursuant to final Treasury Regulations 1.103-13 and 1.103-14 contained in T.D. 7627 dated May 31, 1979, all with respect to “arbitrage bonds” as described in Section 103(c) of the Code. The words and phrases herein have the same meaning as defined and used in the Regulations. Such certifications are based on facts, estimates, and circumstances in existence on the date of issuance of the Bonds and on such basis, it is reasonably expected that the following will occur with respect to the Bonds:

 

[a]       The Bonds will be delivered on the Closing Date to the Underwriter which will pay to the Authority on such Closing Date a sum equal to the full face principal amount of the Bonds.

 

[b]       Accrued interest is to be paid by the Underwriter with respect to the Bonds and is to be calculated from September 1, 1986, to the Closing Date; and all such interest will be deposited in the Interest Account and applied to paying Bond interest payable March 1, 1987.

 

[c]       The $4,000,000 proceeds of the Bonds received by the Authority will be loaned to the Owner in accordance with Section 302 of this Loan Agreement; and in

 

47



 

said Section 302 the Owner has agreed to apply such proceeds solely for paying or reimbursing the Project Costs.

 

[d]       The total Project Costs will not be less than $4,216,000 and the components of the total cost are as follows: land - $280,000; buildings and structures - $2,528,440; equipment - $300,000; capitalized interest - $405,560; capitalized reserve fund - $400,000; issuance costs - $296,000; TOTAL $4,226,000. Such Project Costs not paid or reimbursed from Bond proceeds will be paid by the Owner and are estimated at $216,000.

 

[e]       The ordering, acquisition, construction and installation of the Facilities was commenced and made by the Owner subsequent to the date of the Inducement Resolution. Binding contracts or commitments obligating the expenditure, for the work of acquiring, constructing, developing and equipping the Facilities, of not less than $ -0- have been entered into, made or performed. It is expected that the work of acquiring, constructing, developing and equipping the Facilities will proceed with due diligence to full completion, presently anticipated on or about September 1, 1987.

 

[f]        The property included in the Facilities is not expected to be sold or otherwise disposed of while any portion of the Bonds remain outstanding.

 

[g]       The Owner is obligated pursuant to the Owner’s Note and this Loan Agreement to pay semiannual Owner’s Note payments to the Trustee, for the account of the Authority, equal to the principal and interest requirements on the Bonds, which payments will be applied by the Trustee to the principal and interest requirements on the Bonds. Except for the Bond Fund and the Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Authority has not created or established and does not expect to create or establish any sinking fund or similar fund for the Bonds. Money deposited in all such debt service funds established under Article V of the Indenture will be used to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds and the Authority reasonably expects that there will be no other funds that will be so used. The aggregate amount deposited in the Capitalized Interest Account within the Interest Account and the Debt Service Reserve Fund will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the original proceeds of the Bonds and said Account is expected to be a reasonably required reserve fund within the meaning of Regs. §1.103-14(d), the permitted yield on which will not be restricted under Code Section 103(e). Net earnings from investment of such

 

48



 

Account, together with net earnings from investment of the Project Fund, Bond Fund and Revenue Fund established by the Indenture will be deposited in the Revenue Fund and the Authority expects that such monies will be spent within a twelve (12) month period beginning on the date of deposit, and any money received from investment of money held in the Revenue Fund will be spent within a 12-month period beginning on the date of receipt; and that consequently the yield on such monies will not be restricted under Code Section 103(c) and Regs. §1.103-14(b)(6) and §1.103-14(b)(9) during such 12-month temporary periods. Original proceeds deposited in the Project Fund are expected to meet the temporary period requirements of Regs. §1.103-(b)(1) to (5); however, the yield on investment of such Fund will be restricted to the yield on the Bonds. Unless advised otherwise by counsel of recognized competence in such matters, the Authority will not restrict the yield on the investment of the Bond Fund during the foregoing temporary periods.

 

[h]       The Authority has not been advised of any listing or contemplated listing by the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that Authority certifications with respect to its obligations may not be relied upon.

 

[i]        To the best knowledge and belief of the undersigned there are no other facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change the above set forth expectations and the date of all certifications is the date of delivery of the Bonds.

 

No person other than the Owner, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Underwriter and Bond Counsel to the Authority and any persons controlling the same and their respective successors and assigns shall have any right under or by virtue of this Section 435. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Loan Agreement shall survive the delivery of the Bonds and any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the aforesaid parties of any of the matters described in and related to the transactions contemplated by any Project Document.

 

SECTION 436 .         Representations of the Trustee . The Trustee represents and warrants that the execution of this Loan Agreement has been lawfully authorized by all requisite corporation action of the Trustee and the officers executing this Loan Agreement on behalf of the Trustee are the officers indicated by their titles subscribed beneath their names and are authorized to execute this Loan Agreement on behalf of the Trustee.

 

SECTION 437 .         Payment of Indebtedness . The Authority covenants that it will promptly pay the Bonds and the Secured Indebtedness or cause payment of the same at the place, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Indenture and Bonds according to the true intent and meaning thereof.

Owner shall furnish the Trustee, or cause to be furnished to Trustee, with a copy to Authority, Letter of Credit Bank and Underwriter, annual audited financial and operating statements of the Owner, including a profit and loss statement within ninety (90) days after the close of each of its fiscal years, prepared by a certified public accountant of recognized standing and approved by Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank. Such statements will be audited only upon the prior written request of Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank or Authority. In addition, Owner shall furnish to the above parties copies of quarterly financial and operating statements of the Owner beginning December 1, 1987.

 

Not more than six (6) months after the close of each fiscal year of the Authority, the Authority shall furnish the Trustee and the Owner, a statement of all transactions relating to the Facilities and Bonds prepared by reputable independent public or certified municipal accountants to be employed by the Authority for the auditing of the accounts of the Authority; or, if so requested in writing by the Trustee, prepared by independent public or municipal accountants selected by and to be paid by the Trustee.

 

SECTION 439 .         Defenses of Actions . Upon the request of either the Trustee or the Letter of Credit Bank, the Owner will, from time to time, promptly take such action as may be necessary or proper to remedy or cure any defect in or cloud upon the title to the Facilities or any part thereof, whether now existing or hereafter developing, and to prosecute all such suits, actions and other proceedings as may be appropriate for such purposes and to indemnify and save the Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including attorneys’ fees, which the Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank may incur by reason of any such defect, cloud, suits, actions or proceedings.

 

The Owner will defend against every suit, action or proceeding at any time brought against the Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank upon any claim arising with respect to the Facilities or involving the Trustee’s or the Letter of Credit Bank’s rights under this Loan Agreement. The Owner will indemnify and save harmless the Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank against any and all liability claimed or asserted by any person whomsoever, arising with respect to the Facilities or Project; provided, however, that the Trustee or Letter of Credit Bank, at its election, may appear in and defend against any such suit, action or proceeding; and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, this covenant shall continue and remain in full force and effect even though the Owner’s Note, Bonds and Indebtedness secured hereby may have been full paid and satisfied, and this Loan Agreement may have been released of record and discharged.

The provisions of Section 501[h] and [i] shall be construed to include terms of substantially equivalent meaning under the National Bankruptcy Act, and similar applicable Federal and State laws, as the same now exist, come into effect or are amended during the term hereof.

52



 

substantial part of its assets for the benefit of its creditors, or in the event the Authority or Owner fails to strictly and promptly comply with any of its or their covenants and agreements herein or to strictly and promptly perform any provisions hereof and thereof (after the Trustee has first given ten (10) days written notice to the Authority and Owner and upon failure of the Authority and Owner to comply within said 10-day period), or in the event the priority of the mortgage, pledge and assignment contained in this Loan Agreement shall not be established and at all times fully maintained upon and with respect to the Facilities and every part thereof; or in the event the Owner is found or adjudged not to have had good right and full power and authority to mortgage, pledge or assign said Facilities or any part thereof in the manner hereby contemplated; then and in any such event, the Trustee shall be entitled at its option and election and without prior notice to or demand upon the Authority or Owner, to have or cause to be appointed a receiver or temporary trustee or trustees for the Authority and/or Owner to take charge of said Facilities for the purpose of exercising all rights and remedies conferred by this Loan Agreement to the extent necessary for the full and complete protection of the security and rights of the Trustee, and for the purpose of doing all things necessary to assure the most remunerative use of the Facilities. Every appointment shall be in writing or shall be made pursuant to an action filed in a court of competent jurisdiction and shall specify the Default or Defaults existing hereunder or the other grounds for receivership stated in this Section whereby the power of appointment hereby granted is invoked, and shall designate by name the person or persons to be such receiver or temporary trustee or trustees; and the trustees of the Authority so supplanted shall ipso facto cease to have any power or authority under the Trust Indenture and under this Loan Agreement. The receiver, temporary trustee or trustees shall receive a reasonable fee for his or their services in an amount fixed by the Trustee or the court, to be paid as Secured Indebtedness unless otherwise agreed by the Trustee. In the event of any vacancy in the office or position of any receiver, temporary trustee or trustees, no permanent trustee so supplanted shall be entitled to act as trustee under the Trust Indenture or this Loan Agreement by reason thereof, but such vacancy shall continue to exist until some person be appointed as temporary trustee under this Section.

53



 

as though a receiver or temporary trustee or trustees had not been appointed.

 

During the period of continuance of any Default hereunder, the receiver or temporary trustee or trustees appointed as provided herein shall take charge of the Facilities for the purpose of exercising all rights and remedies conferred by this Loan Agreement to the extent necessary for the full and complete protection of the security and rights of the Trustee and Bondholders and for the purpose of doing all things necessary to assure the most remunerative use of the Facilities. Any trustee or receiver of the Facilities, whether appointed by the Trustee or court, shall be appointed and serve pursuant to this Section. The rights and protection of the Trustee and Bondholders set out herein are essential to the security of the Trustee and Bondholders and receivership and trusteeship procedures hereunder shall be exclusive. All Facilities and proceeds thereof shall be applied to payment of the Indebtedness in accordance with the Indenture. The appointment of any receiver or temporary trustee or trustees pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not be construed as curing or waiving any Default hereunder, and notwithstanding any such appointment of any receiver or temporary trustee or trustees, the Trustee may enforce any other remedy provided in the Project Documents.

 

SECTION 504 .         Foreclosure and Enforcement of Remedial Rights . Upon the occurrence of any Default, the Trustee may, as additional remedies, either after entry, or without entry, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to enforce payment of the Indebtedness then outstanding hereunder and to enforce this Loan Agreement and to foreclose the mortgage herein contained and foreclose against and sell the mortgaged, pledged and assigned Facilities or any part thereof under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon occurrence of a Default, to the extent that such rights may then lawfully be waived, neither the Authority or Owner nor anyone claiming through or under either of them, shall set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or the foreclosure of this Loan Agreement, and the Owner and Authority for themselves and all who may claim through or under themselves, hereby waive to the extent that they lawfully may do so, the benefit of all such laws and all right of appraisement and redemption to which they may be entitled under the laws of Oklahoma. The Trustee may become the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, if the highest bidder. Upon the occurrence of any Default, the Trustee may, as additional remedies, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to enforce payment of the Indebtedness then outstanding hereunder and to enforce this Loan Agreement. This Loan Agreement shall constitute a security agreement upon all of the Facilities not constituting real property under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. Upon any Default hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to exercise, with respect to all such Facilities, all of the rights and remedies accorded to a secured party on default under the terms of Article 9 of the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code, any or all of which may be pursued and exercised concurrently, consecutively, alternatively or otherwise.

 

54



 

The Owner will execute one or more supplemental security agreements as the Trustee may from time to time reasonably require to more fully describe and identify the Facilities securing the Indebtedness and such financing statements and other and further assurances as the Trustee may request to perfect or evidence the security interest herein created (which shall cover all proceeds and products of the Facilities) and to particularize and identify the Facilities.

 

SECTION 505 .         Other Remedies . Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Trustee may, as an alternative, pursue any available remedy by suit at law or equity to enforce the payment of the Indebtedness then outstanding, including, without limitation, mandamus.

 

Upon occurrence of a Default, the Trustee may, at its sole option and discretion (after first giving the Owner and/or Authority, as applicable, ten (10) days written notice to comply with the requirements of this Loan Agreement and upon failure of the Owner and/or Authority to so comply within said 10-day period) either in its own name or in the name of the Authority or Owner, compromise or discharge any adverse claims and demands, liabilities and encumbrances; enter an appearance in and defend against any such judicial or other proceeding and file and prosecute therein such cross petition or counterclaim as to the Trustee may seem proper; enforce the covenants and requirements of the Project Documents; institute and prosecute all suits and actions as may be deemed necessary, expedient or advisable to allay or remove any adverse claim or other difficulty or obstacle with respect to the Facilities; and institute and maintain such suits and proceedings and do or cause to be done any and all other and further things (without limitation by virtue of the express enumeration of the powers hereinabove) which the Trustee may deem proper or may be advised shall be necessary or expedient to prevent an impairment of the security under the Project Documents, or for the protection of the Facilities and the Indebtedness, all at the expense of the Owner.

 

SECTION 506 .         Trustee Expenditures Become Secured Indebtedness . In the event of taking any action pursuant to Article V of this Loan Agreement, all costs, expenses, outlays, expenditures, and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Trustee in taking the aforesaid action, to the extent not paid from the Facilities or their proceeds, shall constitute Secured Indebtedness, shall bear interest from the time of payment thereof by the Trustee at the maximum legal rate until paid and may be included in any judgment if not paid before that time, and all such Secured Indebtedness, with interest, shall be secured by this Loan Agreement.

 

SECTION 507 .         Effect of Discontinuance of Proceedings . In case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any Default shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in any such case, the Authority or Owner and the Trustee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

 

55



 

SECTION 508 .         Waivers of Default . The Trustee may in its discretion waive any Default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of the Bonds or Owner’s Note. In case of any such waiver, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any such Default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and in every such case, the Authority or Owner and the Trustee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 509 .         Remedies Cumulative and Not Exclusive . No remedy by the terms of the Project Documents conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Any limitation herein imposed upon the exercise of any remedy is intended to be effective only to the extent such limitation is permitted by the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

 

SECTION 510 .         Delay or Omission . No delay or omission of the Trustee to exercise any right or power arising upon Default shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or any acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Article to the Trustee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee.

 

SECTION 511 .         Right of Owner to Cure Default . With regard to any alleged Default concerning which notice is given to the Authority under the provisions of this Article, the Authority hereby grants the Owner full authority for the account of the Authority to perform any covenant or obligation alleged in said notice to constitute a Default, in the name and stead of the Authority, with full power to do any and all things and acts to the same extent that the Authority could do and perform any such things and acts and with powers of substitution, in which event the performing Owner shall be subrogated to any rights with respect to the Authority for performance of such covenant or obligation.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned (the “Underwriter”) offers to enter into this Bond Purchase Agreement (this “Bond Purchase Agreement”) with The City of Springfield, Ohio (the “Issuer”), and Eaglewood Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Borrower”), which, upon acceptance of this offer by the Issuer and the Borrower, will be binding upon the Issuer, the Borrower and the Underwriter.  This offer is made subject to written acceptance hereof by the Issuer and the Borrower at or before 6:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the date hereof, unless extended by agreement by the parties.

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION .

 

Pursuant to a ordinance adopted by the Issuer on March 27, 2012 (the “Bond Ordinance”), and an Indenture of Trust, dated as of April 12, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and BOKF, NA, dba Bank of Oklahoma, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Issuer expects to issue its: (i) $6,610,000 The City of Springfield, Ohio, First Mortgage Revenue Bonds (Eaglewood Property Holdings, LLC Project), Series 2012A (the “Series 2012A Bonds”); and (ii) $620,000 The City of Springfield, Ohio, First Mortgage Revenue Bonds (Eaglewood Property Holdings, LLC Project), Taxable Series 2012B (the “Series 2012B Bonds” and, together with the Series 2012A Bonds, the “Series 2012 Bonds”).  The Series 2012 Bonds will be issued, in book entry form only, on a pari passu basis.  Interest on the Series 2012A Bonds is expected to be excludable from the gross income of the holders thereof for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Issuer will, pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2012 (the “Loan Agreement”), lend the proceeds from the sale of the Series 2012 Bonds to Eaglewood Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Borrower”), which will use such proceeds to undertake a project (the “Project”) consisting of: (i) re-financing the costs of its acquisition of an 80-unit assisted living facility, which is located in Springfield, Ohio (the “Facility”), which the Borrower leases to Eaglewood Village, LLC, an affiliated entity (the “Operator”), pursuant to a Facility Lease, dated December 29, 2011 (as amended by a First Amendment to Facility Lease, dated as of April 12, 2012, the “Lease”); (ii) making certain initial deposits into the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, including a debt service reserve fund for the Series 2012 Bonds; and (iii) paying certain costs of issuance of the Series 2012 Bonds.

 

The Borrower will be required to make all of its payment obligations under the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Payments”) directly to the Trustee in such amounts as will enable the Trustee to pay, when due, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Series 2012 Bonds and all other amounts, fees, penalties, premiums, adjustments, expenses, counsel fees and other payments due pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.  The source of funds available to the Borrower to make the Loan Payments will be the revenues generated by the operation of the Facility (the “Gross Revenues”).

 

The Series 2012 Bonds will be special obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the revenues, receipts, funds or moneys pledged therefor pursuant to, and from any amounts otherwise available under, the Indenture, all of which (except the Rebate Fund) will be held by the Trustee for the equal and ratable benefit of all holders of the Series 2012 Bonds.

 

Pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2012 (the “AdCare Guaranty Agreement”), AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”), the Borrower’s ultimate corporate parent, will guarantee the prompt payment and performance, as and when due, of the Loan Payments, and the Borrower’s other obligations under the Loan Agreement.

 

As security for its obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Borrower will, pursuant to an Open-End Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2012 (the “Security Agreement”): (i) grant the Trustee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) a first lien on and security interest in all of the land, buildings and other improvements that constitute the Facility, and in and to the Lease Payments and all of the Borrower’s other personal property now or hereafter located in the Facility; and (ii) collaterally assign the Lease to the Trustee (the Lease and such other property being herein referred to collectively as the “Mortgaged Property”).

As security for its obligations in respect of the Series 2012 Bonds, the Issuer will, pursuant to the Indenture, assign and pledge to the Trustee, for the equal and ratable benefit of all holders of the Series 2012 Bonds, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Loan Agreement, the AdCare Guaranty Agreement, and the Security Agreement (except for the “Reserved Rights” of the Issuer, such as the right to receive administrative fees, costs and expenses and certain notices, the right to give certain consents, and its rights to indemnification and to enforce public purpose covenants).

 

The exclusion of interest on the Series 2012A Bonds, from the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes, is based upon the Facility’s providing “residential rental property” as such term is defined in Section 142(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Certain conditions must be satisfied, and must continue to be satisfied, in order for such exclusion of interest to be effective.  Accordingly, the Borrower will enter into a Land Use Restriction Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2012 (the “Land Use Agreement”), in which the Borrower will covenant that it will cause the Facility to comply with the requirements of Section 142(d) of the Code, and that it will not knowingly take or permit any action to be taken that would adversely affect the exemption of interest on the Series 2012A Bonds from federal income taxation.

 

The Series 2012 Bonds will be limited obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the revenues, receipts, funds or moneys pledged therefor, and from any amounts otherwise available under the Indenture for the payment thereof, including those derived under the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement, and those on deposit in all funds and accounts held under the Indenture (except the Rebate Fund), all of which will be held by the Trustee for the equal and ratable benefit of all holders of the Series 2012 Bonds.  (The Indenture, the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Land Use Agreement, and the other documents delivered by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of any of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement, or the Security Agreement are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “Transaction Documents”.)

 

Pursuant to a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the “Disclosure Agreement”), the Borrower and the Operator will each agree to provide certain financial information and operating data relating to it, annually, and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events.

(k)           Certificates and Representations .  Any certificate signed by an authorized representative of the Borrower delivered to the Underwriter at the Closing shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Borrower to such parties as to the statements made therein.  The Borrower covenants that between the date hereof and the Closing it will not take any action that will cause the representations and warranties made herein to be untrue as of the Closing.

 

SECTION 7.  INDEMNIFICATION

 

(a)           Scope of Indemnification by the Borrower .  The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, each official, trustee, member, agent, servant, officer, city commissioner, employee and attorney of the Issuer and the Underwriter, each director, officer and employee thereof, and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter or the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (an “Indemnified Party”), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, whether joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any statute or regulation at law or in equity or otherwise insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact set forth in the Official Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or the Preliminary Official Statement, or arise out of or are based upon (i) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or which is necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading in any material respect, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.   Provided, however, that such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of the Issuer, or any person controlling the Issuer, as aforesaid, in respect of any written material furnished by the Issuer for use in the sections of the Preliminary Official Statement and Official Statement captioned “SUMMARY STATEMENT — The Issuer”, “THE ISSUER” and “LITIGATION — The Issuer”, or (ii) any act, failure to act, or misrepresentation by any person in connection with the issuance, sale, or delivery of the Series 2012 Bonds.  And provided further, that such indemnity shall not extend to any Indemnified Party if the loss, claim, damage or liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party.  This indemnity agreement shall not be construed as a limitation on any other liability that the Borrower may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, provided that in no event shall the Borrower be obligated for double indemnification.

 

(b)           Procedure .  An Indemnified Party shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought against the Borrower notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof.  Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice will reduce the liability of the Borrower by the amount of damages attributable to the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice to the Borrower, but the omission to notify the Borrower of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party otherwise than under this section.  In case any such action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement thereof, the Borrower may, or if so requested by such Indemnified Party shall, participate therein or assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (it being understood that, except as hereinafter provided, the Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Parties in such action), and after notice from the Borrower to such Indemnified Party of an election so to assume the defense thereof, the Borrower will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection

with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that unless and until the Borrower assumes the defense of any such action at the request of such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action.  If the Borrower shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of any such action, or if an Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower (in which cases the Borrower shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party) or to other Indemnified Parties, legal and other expenses, including the expenses of separate counsel incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Borrower.

 

(c)           Underwriter’s Agreement .  The Underwriter agrees, at its expense, to indemnify, promptly defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer) and hold harmless the Issuer, the Issuer’s city commissioners, officers, employees and each person, if any, who has the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Issuer, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, demands, liabilities, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, if such losses, claims, damages, demands, liabilities, costs or expenses arise out of, or are materially increased by, or would not exist but for, a breach by the Underwriter of its duties under, or failure to abide by any of its covenants in, this Bond Purchase Agreement.

equity or otherwise insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact set forth in the Confidential Disclosure Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or which is necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading in any material respect, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Provided, however, that such indemnity shall not extend to any Indemnified Party if the loss, claim, damage or liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. This indemnity agreement shall not be construed as a limitation on any other liability that the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated for double indemnification. And provided further, that the Company shall have no obligation of indemnification hereunder in respect of any statement made in, or omitted from, the following sections of the Confidential Disclosure Memorandum: “THE CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION”, “CANTONE ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC”, or “TAX MATTERS”.

In case any such action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company may, or if so requested by such Indemnified Party shall, participate therein or assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (it being understood that, except as hereinafter provided, the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Parties in such action), and after notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party of an election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that unless and until the Company assumes the defense of any such action at the request of such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action. If the Company shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of any such action, or if an Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which cases the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party) or to other Indemnified Parties, legal and other expenses, including the expenses of separate counsel incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

between

 

AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”)

 

and

 

Martin D. Brew (the “Officer”)

 

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into August 6, 2012, to be effective July 1, 2012 (the “Effective Date”).

 

Background

 

The Company employs the Officer as of the Effective Date as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company and desire to enter into this Agreement to reflect the terms and conditions of the Officer’s employment.

 

Statement of Agreement

 

For good and valuable consideration (including the respective obligations of the parties hereunder), the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as of the Effective Date as follows:

 

Section 1.                                             Employment .  For the purposes and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company agrees to employ the Officer and the Officer accepts such employment.  The Officer’s employment shall be based in the Atlanta, Georgia greater metropolitan area, subject to business travel as necessary.  The Company shall provide the Officer with an office that is initially based in Atlanta, Georgia at its Two Buckhead Plaza, 3050 Peachtree Road location.

 

Section 2.                                             Duties .  The Officer shall be employed by the Company or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries during the Employment Term (as defined in Section 5(a)).  The Officer shall be employed by the Company as of the Effective Date, as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company.  The Officer shall report as of the Effective Date to the Chief Executive Officer.  The Company reserves the right to change the Officer’s job position(s) or the position to which the Officer reports, but any such change shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 3(a).  The Officer shall devote such time, attention and energy to the business of the Company and the performance of his duties hereunder as are necessary to properly perform his duties hereunder.  The Officer represents that his entry into, and performance of services under, this Agreement does not violate the terms of any other agreement.  The Officer also represents and warrants that he is bound by no agreement that would in any way restrict his ability to perform his duties for the Company.  The Officer will be expected to carry out his duties with the highest degree of ethical and moral standards and to comply with all terms and conditions regarding the nature and manner in carrying out his duties as may be established from time to time by the Company and set forth in its employee handbook or manual.

 



 

Section 3.                                             Compensation .

 

(a)                                   Salary .  As of the Effective Date, the Officer shall be paid a salary of $235,000 per year (the “Annual Salary”), payable in installments on the date of the Company’s regular pay periods or such other installments as the Officer and the Company from time to time mutually agree upon.  Effective January 1, 2013, the Officer’s Annual Salary shall be increased to $250,000 per year provided that he is actively employed in good standing with the Company as of that date.  Thereafter, the Annual Salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) for possible increases, and if so increased, the increased amount shall thereafter be deemed to be the “Annual Salary” for all purposes under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                  Bonus .  The Officer shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus each year.  The target amount of the annual bonus, based on reasonably expected performance, shall be seventy-five percent (75%) of the Executive’s Annual Salary as of December 31 st  of the year for which the bonus is awarded (the “Target Bonus”).  The performance criteria for earning the bonus and the formula for determining the amount of the bonus shall be established by the CEO and Compensation Committee under the Company’s management incentive plan for executive officers.  The criteria and the formula for each year will be provided to the Officer no later than the ninetieth (90 th ) day of that year.  The bonus earned shall be paid in the following year as soon as feasible following the end of the year, but not later than March 30 th  of the following year.  The bonus for any year will be earned and accrued and payable only if the Officer is employed by the Company on the last day of the year for which the bonus is earned.

 

(c)                                   Equity Compensation .  The Officer shall be eligible to receive grants of equity compensation at the discretion of the CEO and Compensation Committee.

 

Section 4.                                             Officer Benefits; Vacation .  During the Employment Term, the Officer shall be entitled to participate in life insurance, hospitalization medical insurance, retirement, and other benefits as are presently or may hereafter be provided to other executive officers of the Company and paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy for executive officers.  In addition to the benefits generally available to executive officers of the Company, the Company agrees to continue to pay the Officer at the rate of 100% of his Annual Salary for a period of three (3) months after the date of “Disability” and at the rate of 60% of his Annual Salary as of the date of Disability for an additional twenty-one (21) months.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” means the inability of the Officer to perform his duties for medical reasons for a period of ninety (90) days in any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period.  In the event there is a question as to whether or not the Officer is subject to a Disability, the Board of Directors of the Company will select a qualified physician who will make the determination which will be binding on both the Officer and the Company.

 

Section 5.                                             Term of Employment .

 

(a)                                   The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and remain in effect thereafter while the Officer is employed by the Company (the “Employment Term”).

 

2



 

(b)                                  The Company and the Officer shall at all times have the right to terminate the Officer’s employment, in the case of the Company with or without Cause, and in the case of the Officer with or without Good Reason, and in either case subject to the terms of this Agreement.  Upon termination of the Officer’s employment, the Officer shall have no obligation or duty to further serve the Company in any capacity (other than to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 6 below), nor shall the Company be under any obligation or duty to employ the Officer or provide the benefits specified in Section 4 or make any of the payments provided for in Sections 3 or 4 (except to the extent any such benefits are required to be provided by this Agreement, the applicable plan or law, or any such payments under Sections 3 or 4 have accrued prior to and remain unpaid and owing to the Officer as of the effective date of such termination).  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:  Resignation for “Good Reason” means the Officer’s resignation within ninety (90) days following the Company’s failure to cure a material breach of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the Officer gives the Company written notice of such breach within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such breach.  “Cause” means the Officer’s fraud, dishonesty, willful misconduct, or gross negligence in his performance of his duties hereunder, or the Officer’s conviction for a crime of moral turpitude, or material breach by the Officer of this Agreement which the Officer fails to cure within thirty (30) days after the Company gives the Officer written notice of such breach.

 

(c)                                   If the Officer resigns his employment for Good Reason or the Company terminates the Officer’s employment without Cause (other than due to the Officer’s Disability) the Officer or his successors and assigns shall receive the severance pay and benefits hereafter provided.  The severance pay shall be an amount equal to one (1) times Annual Salary payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for twelve (12) months after the termination date, plus if such termination occurs within three (3) months before or twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a “Change in Control,” an additional half times Annual Salary plus Target Bonus payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for six (6) months beginning immediately after twelve (12) months following the termination date.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means one or more sales or dispositions, within a twelve (12) month period, of assets representing a majority of the value of the assets of the Company or the acquisition (whether by purchase or through a merger or otherwise) of common stock of the Company immediately following which the holders of common stock of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition cease to own directly or indirectly common stock of the Company or its legal successor representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the common stock of the Company or its legal successor.

 

For the period for which severance pay is paid, i.e., twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) months following termination of employment (the “Severance Period”), the Officer and his family shall be entitled to continue to be covered under all employee benefit plans of the Company under which executive officers of the Company are covered and at the same cost and under the same terms and conditions as apply to executive officers, provided, however, that if the Company is unable under applicable law or the insurer will not permit the Officer to be covered under any such plan, the Company shall pay to the Officer an amount each month during the Severance Period equal to the Company’s cost of coverage for similarly situated executive officers.   For purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment and similar terms means a termination of employment constituting a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code

 

3



 

Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to avoid the Officer incurring a tax under Code Section 409A, any amount that is otherwise due within six (6) months following termination of employment shall be delayed until six months after termination of employment.  The provisions contained in this Section shall survive the termination of the Officer’s employment.

 

Section 6.                                             Certain Officer Covenants .  The Officer expressly covenants and agrees to and with the Company as hereinafter set forth in this Section 6.

 

(a)                                   Non-Competition .  During the Employment Term, and in the event that the Officer’s employment is voluntarily terminated by the Officer other than for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company for Cause, then for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination, the Officer shall not within the Area, directly or indirectly, acting alone or with others, on behalf of a competitor of the Company undertake to perform executive management responsibilities similar to those the Officer provides for the Company during the last twenty-four (24) months of his employment with the Company.  For purposes of this Agreement “Area” shall be defined as any state in which any skilled nursing facility or business office owned or operated by the Company as of the date of the termination of this Agreement.  The foregoing restrictions shall not, however, prohibit the Officer from performing services for a division or business unit of a competitor of the Company if such division or business unit does not provide goods or services competitive with those offered by the Company.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section shall not prohibit the Officer from acquiring less than 1% of the securities of any corporation which competes with the Company and whose shares are regularly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange or over-the-counter market.

 

(b)                                  Prohibition Against Hiring Employees .  During the Employment Term and for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination, regardless of the reason for termination, the Officer shall not directly or indirectly solicit for employment, or directly or indirectly assist others in soliciting for employment, any person employed by the Company whom the Officer managed or supervised, or with whom the Officer worked directly, during the then last twelve (12) months of the Officer’s termination of employment, whether or not such person is a full-time or part-time employee of the Company.

 

(c)                                   Confidential Information .  The Officer shall receive and hold all Confidential Information and Trade Secrets in trust for the Company and in the strictest confidence.  Except to the extent required in the performance of his duties hereunder, the Officer shall not at any time while he is employed by the Company or after termination of his employment, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, disseminate or otherwise publish “Confidential Information” or Trade Secrets.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means data and information relating to the business of the Company (whether constituting a Trade Secret or not) which is or has been disclosed to the Officer or of which the Officer became aware as a consequence of or through his relationship with Company and which has value to the Company and is not generally known to the Company’s competitors.  Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, trade secrets, methods of operation, names of customers, price lists, financial information, personnel data and similar information, but shall not include any data or information which has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Company (except where such disclosure has been made by the Officer without

authorization) or that has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or otherwise has entered the public domain through lawful means.  “Trade Secrets” means information of the Company, without regard to form, including, but not limited to, technical or nontechnical data, formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, processes, financial data, financial plans, product or service plans or lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers which is not commonly known by or available to the public and which information (i) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.  The restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall survive following the Officer’s termination of employment for so long as the information remains Confidential Information as defined by this Agreement.  The restrictions on use and disclosure of Trade Secrets shall survive following the Officer’s termination of employment for so long as the information is a trade secret under applicable law.

 

(d)                                  Return of Information .  Upon termination of the Officer’s employment for whatever reason, the Officer shall return to or leave with the Company, without making or retaining copies thereof, all documents, records, notebooks and similar repositories containing Confidential Information.

 

(e)                                   Reasonableness of Covenants .  The Officer has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions upon him and the rights and remedies conferred upon the Company under this Section 6, and hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in light of his position, the information to which he will be privy, and the nature of the business, the restrictions are reasonable in time and territory, are designed to eliminate unfair competition to the Company, are fully required to protect the Company’s legitimate interests, and do not confer a benefit upon the Company disproportionate to any detriment to the Officer.

 

If the Officer breaches any of the agreements contained in this Section 6, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies which the Company may have, the Company shall have the right to an accounting and repayment of all profits or other benefits directly realized as a result of any such breach, to collect any damages caused by such breach in addition to those specifically listed herein, and to enforce any legal or equitable remedy (including injunctive relief) that it may have against the Officer to prevent further injury to the Company resulting from such breach.

 

The Officer acknowledges that any breach of the agreements contained in this Section could cause irreparable harm to the Company.  The Officer acknowledges that damages in the event of Officer’s breach of this Agreement will be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain and therefore it is agreed that the Company, in addition to, and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have under this Agreement or the law, will have the right to an injunction enjoining any such breach.  The Officer agrees to reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the Company because of any breach of this provision, but only in the event that the Officer fails to cure such breach, within ten (10) days after being provided written notice thereof by the Company.

 

All covenants and provisions contained in Section 6 shall survive the termination of the Officer’s employment, regardless of the reason of such termination.

 

5



 

The Officer acknowledges that the Company recommends that the Officer review this Agreement with his own legal counsel prior to signing this Agreement and the Officer confirms that the Officer has had ample opportunity to do so.

 

Section 7.                                             Notices .  Any notice or other communication required or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given when personally delivered or when deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, properly addressed to the parties at their respective addresses below or such addresses as shall be given by notice of any party.

Section 8.                                             Actions by the Company .  Any determination, consent, waiver, agreement, or other action under or with respect to this Agreement and its implementation of or by the Company shall not be deemed made, taken or effected hereunder unless made, taken or effected in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

 

Section 9.                                             Waiver; Remedies Cumulative .  No waiver of any right or option hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right or option, or the same right or option as respects any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or of any legal remedy.  No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement or of any agreement or covenant contained herein shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a continuation of the same breach.  All remedies provided by this Agreement are in addition to all other remedies by it or the law provided.

 

Section 10.                                       Assignment .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the legal successors of the Company.  Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder shall be assignable and any such purported assignment by his shall be void and of no force or effect; provided, however, that in the event of the Officer’s death, any amounts that are unpaid and owing to the Officer or rights that are exercisable by the Officer shall be paid to or exercisable by his estate.

 

Section 11.                                       Applicable Law .  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.  Any action for breach or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, or in any way arising out of or related to Officer’s employment with the company or this Agreement, including without limitation the covenants and provisions contained in Section 6, shall be brought in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia or in a federal court sitting in Atlanta, Georgia, and the parties hereto each consent to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Section 12.                                       Indemnification .  The Company shall indemnify the Officer for his actions and omissions as an officer and provide for advancement of expenses in connection therewith to the maximum extent permitted by its state of incorporation, but not for the Officer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Company shall maintain, during the Employment Term and for at least three (3) years thereafter, an adequate officer’s liability policy covering the Officer for actions and omissions during the Employment Term.

 

Section 13.                                       Severability and Judicial Modification .  The parties agree that each provision of this Agreement is separate, distinct and severable from the other remaining provisions of this Agreement, and that the invalidity or unenforceability of any Agreement provision shall not effect the validity and unenforceability of any other provision or provisions of this Agreement.  Further, if any provision of this Agreement is ruled invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because of the conflict between such provision and any applicable law or public policy, it is the intent of the parties that such provision shall be modified by the Court to the extent appropriate to render the provision reasonable valid and enforceable.  If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration of the restrictions of Section 6, the “Area” as defined in Section 6, or any provisions of Section 6 unenforceable, the duration of the applicable restrictions set forth in Section 6 shall be deemed to be the longest duration permissible by law under the circumstances, the “Area” shall be deemed to comprise the largest territory permissible by law under the circumstances, and the remainder of the Agreement shall nevertheless stand.  The court in each case shall reduce the aforementioned provisions to permissible duration or territory.

 

Section 14.                                       Miscellaneous .  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties concerning the Officer’s employment with the Company and supersedes any and all previous agreements between the Officer and the Company concerning such employment.  Except for judicial modification as set forth in Section 13, this Agreement cannot be amended or modified in any respect, unless such amendment or modification is evidenced by a written instrument signed by both the Company and the Officer.  The captions of the various sections of this Agreement are not a part of the context hereof, are inserted merely for convenience in locating the different provisions hereof and shall be ignored in construing this Agreement.

 

The parties have executed multiple counterparts of this Agreement, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, as of the date set forth at the beginning hereof.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

between

 

AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”)

 

and

 

Melissa L. Green (the “Officer”)

 

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into August 6, 2012, to be effective July 1, 2012 (the “Effective Date”).

 

Background

 

The Company employs the Officer as of the Effective Date as Senior Vice President, Clinical Services of the Company and desire to enter into this Agreement to reflect the terms and conditions of the Officer’s employment.

 

Statement of Agreement

 

For good and valuable consideration (including the respective obligations of the parties hereunder), the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as of the Effective Date as follows:

 

Section 1.               Employment .  For the purposes and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company agrees to employ the Officer and the Officer accepts such employment.  The Officer’s employment shall be based in the Atlanta, Georgia greater metropolitan area, subject to business travel as necessary.  The Company shall provide the Officer with an office that is initially based at its Roswell Service Center Location at 1145 Hembree Road, Roswell, Georgia 30076.

 

Section 2.               Duties .  The Officer shall be employed by the Company or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries during the Employment Term (as defined in Section 5(a)).  The Officer shall be employed by the Company as of the Effective Date, as Senior Vice President — Clinical Services of the Company.  The Officer shall report as of the Effective Date to the Chief Executive Officer.  The Company reserves the right to change the Officer’s job position(s) or the position to which the Officer reports, but any such change shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 3(a).  The Officer shall devote such time, attention and energy to the business of the Company and the performance of her duties hereunder as are necessary to properly perform her duties hereunder.  The Officer represents that her entry into, and performance of services under, this Agreement does not violate the terms of any other agreement.  The Officer also represents and warrants that he is bound by no agreement that would in any way restrict her ability to perform her duties for the Company.  The Officer will be expected to carry out her duties with the highest degree of ethical and moral standards and to comply with all terms and conditions regarding the nature and manner in carrying out her duties as may be established from time to time by the Company and set forth in its employee handbook or manual.

 



 

Section 3.               Compensation .

 

(a)             Salary .  As of the Effective Date, the Officer shall be paid a salary of $200,000 per year (the “Annual Salary”), payable in installments on the date of the Company’s regular pay periods or such other installments as the Officer and the Company from time to time mutually agree upon.  Thereafter, the Annual Salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) for possible increases, and if so increased, the increased amount shall thereafter be deemed to be the “Annual Salary” for all purposes under this Agreement.

 

(b)            Bonus .  The Officer shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus each year.  The target amount of the annual bonus, based on reasonably expected performance, shall be sixty percent (60%) of the Executive’s Annual Salary as of December 31 st  of the year for which the bonus is awarded (the “Target Bonus”).  The performance criteria for earning the bonus and the formula for determining the amount of the bonus shall be established by the CEO and Compensation Committee under the Company’s management incentive plan for executive officers.  The criteria and the formula for each year will be provided to the Officer no later than the ninetieth (90 th ) day of that year.  The bonus earned shall be paid in the following year as soon as feasible following the end of the year, but not later than March 30 th   of the following year.  The bonus for any year will be earned and accrued and payable only if the Officer is employed by the Company on the last day of the year for which the bonus is earned.

 

(c)             Equity Compensation .  The Officer shall be eligible to receive grants of equity compensation at the discretion of the CEO and Compensation Committee.

 

Section 4.               Officer Benefits; Vacation .  During the Employment Term, the Officer shall be entitled to participate in life insurance, hospitalization medical insurance, retirement, and other benefits as are presently or may hereafter be provided to other executive officers of the Company and paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy for executive officers.   In addition to the benefits generally available to executive officers of the Company, the Company agrees to continue to pay the Officer at the rate of 100% of her Annual Salary for a period of three (3) months after the date of “Disability” and at the rate of 60% of his Annual Salary as of the date of Disability for an additional twenty-one (21) months.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” means the inability of the Officer to perform her duties for medical reasons for a period of ninety (90) days in any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period.  In the event there is a question as to whether or not the Officer is subject to a Disability, the Board of Directors of the Company will select a qualified physician who will make the determination which will be binding on both the Officer and the Company.

 

Section 5.               Term of Employment .

 

(a)             The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and remain in effect thereafter while the Officer is employed by the Company (the “Employment Term”).

 

(b)            The Company and the Officer shall at all times have the right to terminate the Officer’s employment, in the case of the Company with or without Cause, and in the case of the Officer with or without Good Reason, and in either case subject to the terms of this

 

2



 

Agreement.  Upon termination of the Officer’s employment, the Officer shall have no obligation or duty to further serve the Company in any capacity (other than to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 6 below), nor shall the Company be under any obligation or duty to employ the Officer or provide the benefits specified in Section 4 or make any of the payments provided for in Sections 3 or 4 (except to the extent any such benefits are required to be provided by this Agreement, the applicable plan or law, or any such payments under Sections 3 or 4 have accrued prior to and remain unpaid and owing to the Officer as of the effective date of such termination).  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:  Resignation for “Good Reason” means the Officer’s resignation within ninety (90) days following the Company’s failure to cure a material breach of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the Officer gives the Company written notice of such breach within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such breach.  “Cause” means the Officer’s fraud, dishonesty, willful misconduct, or gross negligence in her performance of her duties hereunder, or the Officer’s conviction for a crime of moral turpitude, or material breach by the Officer of this Agreement which the Officer fails to cure within thirty (30) days after the Company gives the Officer written notice of such breach.

 

(c)             If the Officer resigns her employment for Good Reason or the Company terminates the Officer’s employment without Cause (other than due to the Officer’s Disability) the Officer or her successors and assigns shall receive the severance pay and benefits hereafter provided.  The severance pay shall be an amount equal to one (1) times Annual Salary payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for twelve (12) months after the termination date, plus if such termination occurs within three (3) months before or twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a “Change in Control,” an additional half times Annual Salary plus Target Bonus payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for six (6) months beginning immediately after twelve (12) months following the termination date.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means one or more sales or dispositions, within a twelve (12) month period, of assets representing a majority of the value of the assets of the Company or the acquisition (whether by purchase or through a merger or otherwise) of common stock of the Company immediately following which the holders of common stock of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition cease to own directly or indirectly common stock of the Company or its legal successor representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the common stock of the Company or its legal successor.

 

For the period for which severance pay is paid, i.e., twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) months following termination of employment (the “Severance Period”), the Officer and her family shall be entitled to continue to be covered under all employee benefit plans of the Company under which executive officers of the Company are covered and at the same cost and under the same terms and conditions as apply to executive officers, provided, however, that if the Company is unable under applicable law or the insurer will not permit the Officer to be covered under any such plan, the Company shall pay to the Officer an amount each month during the Severance Period equal to the Company’s cost of coverage for similarly situated executive officers.   For purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment and similar terms means a termination of employment constituting a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to avoid the Officer incurring a tax under Code Section 409A, any amount that is otherwise due within six (6) months following termination of employment shall be delayed until six months after termination of

 

3



 

employment.  The provisions contained in this Section shall survive the termination of the Officer’s employment.

 

Section 6.               Certain Officer Covenants .  The Officer expressly covenants and agrees to and with the Company as hereinafter set forth in this Section 6.

 

(a)             Non-Competition .  During the Employment Term, and in the event that the Officer’s employment is voluntarily terminated by the Officer other than for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company for Cause, then for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination, the Officer shall not within the Area, directly or indirectly, acting alone or with others, on behalf of a competitor of the Company undertake to perform executive management responsibilities similar to those the Officer provides for the Company during the last twenty-four (24) months of her employment with the Company.  For purposes of this Agreement “Area” shall be defined as any state in which any skilled nursing facility or business office owned or operated by the Company as of the date of the termination of this Agreement.  The foregoing restrictions shall not, however, prohibit the Officer from performing services for a division or business unit of a competitor of the Company if such division or business unit does not provide goods or services competitive with those offered by the Company.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section shall not prohibit the Officer from acquiring less than 1% of the securities of any corporation which competes with the Company and whose shares are regularly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange or over-the-counter market.

 

(b)            Prohibition Against Hiring Employees .  During the Employment Term and for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination, regardless of the reason for termination, the Officer shall not directly or indirectly solicit for employment, or directly or indirectly assist others in soliciting for employment, any person employed by the Company whom the Officer managed or supervised, or with whom the Officer worked directly, during the then last twelve (12) months of the Officer’s termination of employment, whether or not such person is a full-time or part-time employee of the Company.

 

(c)             Confidential Information .  The Officer shall receive and hold all Confidential Information and Trade Secrets in trust for the Company and in the strictest confidence.   Except to the extent required in the performance of her duties hereunder, the Officer shall not at any time while he is employed by the Company or after termination of her employment, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, disseminate or otherwise publish “Confidential Information” or Trade Secrets.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means data and information relating to the business of the Company (whether constituting a Trade Secret or not) which is or has been disclosed to the Officer or of which the Officer became aware as a consequence of or through her relationship with Company and which has value to the Company and is not generally known to the Company’s competitors.  Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, trade secrets, methods of operation, names of customers, price lists, financial information, personnel data and similar information, but shall not include any data or information which has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Company (except where such disclosure has been made by the Officer without authorization) or that has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or otherwise has entered the public domain through lawful means.  “Trade Secrets” means information of the Company, without regard to form, including, but not limited to, technical or nontechnical data,

 

4



 

formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, processes, financial data, financial plans, product or service plans or lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers which is not commonly known by or available to the public and which information (i) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.  The restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall survive following the Officer’s termination of employment for so long as the information remains Confidential Information as defined by this Agreement.  The restrictions on use and disclosure of Trade Secrets shall survive following the Officer’s termination of employment for so long as the information is a trade secret under applicable law.

 

(d)            Return of Information .  Upon termination of the Officer’s employment for whatever reason, the Officer shall return to or leave with the Company, without making or retaining copies thereof, all documents, records, notebooks and similar repositories containing Confidential Information.

 

(e)             Reasonableness of Covenants .  The Officer has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions upon him and the rights and remedies conferred upon the Company under this Section 6, and hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in light of her position, the information to which he will be privy, and the nature of the business, the restrictions are reasonable in time and territory, are designed to eliminate unfair competition to the Company, are fully required to protect the Company’s legitimate interests, and do not confer a benefit upon the Company disproportionate to any detriment to the Officer.

 

If the Officer breaches any of the agreements contained in this Section 6, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies which the Company may have, the Company shall have the right to an accounting and repayment of all profits or other benefits directly realized as a result of any such breach, to collect any damages caused by such breach in addition to those specifically listed herein, and to enforce any legal or equitable remedy (including injunctive relief) that it may have against the Officer to prevent further injury to the Company resulting from such breach.

 

The Officer acknowledges that any breach of the agreements contained in this Section could cause irreparable harm to the Company.  The Officer acknowledges that damages in the event of Officer’s breach of this Agreement will be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain and therefore it is agreed that the Company, in addition to, and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have under this Agreement or the law, will have the right to an injunction enjoining any such breach.  The Officer agrees to reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the Company because of any breach of this provision, but only in the event that the Officer fails to cure such breach, within ten (10) days after being provided written notice thereof by the Company.

 

All covenants and provisions contained in Section 6 shall survive the termination of the Officer’s employment, regardless of the reason of such termination.

The Officer acknowledges that the Company recommends that the Officer review this Agreement with her own legal counsel prior to signing this Agreement and the Officer confirms that the Officer has had ample opportunity to do so.

 

Section 7.               Notices .  Any notice or other communication required or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given when personally delivered or when deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, properly addressed to the parties at their respective addresses below or such addresses as shall be given by notice of any party.

The Officer:                                                          The most recent address that the Company has on file.

 

Section 8.               Actions by the Company .  Any determination, consent, waiver, agreement, or other action under or with respect to this Agreement and its implementation of or by the Company shall not be deemed made, taken or effected hereunder unless made, taken or effected in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

 

Section 9.               Waiver; Remedies Cumulative .  No waiver of any right or option hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right or option, or the same right or option as respects any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or of any legal remedy.  No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement or of any agreement or covenant contained herein shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a continuation of the same breach.  All remedies provided by this Agreement are in addition to all other remedies by it or the law provided.

 

Section 10.             Assignment .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the legal successors of the Company.  Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder shall be assignable and any such purported assignment by her shall be void and of no force or effect; provided, however, that in the event of the Officer’s death, any amounts that are unpaid and owing to the Officer or rights that are exercisable by the Officer shall be paid to or exercisable by her estate.

 

Section 11.             Applicable Law .  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.  Any action for breach or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, or in any way arising out of or related to Officer’s employment with the company or this Agreement, including without limitation the covenants and provisions contained in Section 6, shall be brought in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia or in a federal

Section 12.             Indemnification .  The Company shall indemnify the Officer for her actions and omissions as an officer and provide for advancement of expenses in connection therewith to the maximum extent permitted by its state of incorporation, but not for the Officer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Company shall maintain, during the Employment Term and for at least three (3) years thereafter, an adequate officer’s liability policy covering the Officer for actions and omissions during the Employment Term.

 

Section 13.             Severability and Judicial Modification .  The parties agree that each provision of this Agreement is separate, distinct and severable from the other remaining provisions of this Agreement, and that the invalidity or unenforceability of any Agreement provision shall not effect the validity and unenforceability of any other provision or provisions of this Agreement.  Further, if any provision of this Agreement is ruled invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because of the conflict between such provision and any applicable law or public policy, it is the intent of the parties that such provision shall be modified by the Court to the extent appropriate to render the provision reasonable valid and enforceable.  If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration of the restrictions of Section 6, the “Area” as defined in Section 6, or any provisions of Section 6 unenforceable, the duration of the applicable restrictions set forth in Section 6 shall be deemed to be the longest duration permissible by law under the circumstances, the “Area” shall be deemed to comprise the largest territory permissible by law under the circumstances, and the remainder of the Agreement shall nevertheless stand.  The court in each case shall reduce the aforementioned provisions to permissible duration or territory.

 

Section 14.             Miscellaneous .  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties concerning the Officer’s employment with the Company and supersedes any and all previous agreements between the Officer and the Company concerning such employment.  Except for judicial modification as set forth in Section 13, this Agreement cannot be amended or modified in any respect, unless such amendment or modification is evidenced by a written instrument signed by both the Company and the Officer.  The captions of the various sections of this Agreement are not a part of the context hereof, are inserted merely for convenience in locating the different provisions hereof and shall be ignored in construing this Agreement.

 

The parties have executed multiple counterparts of this Agreement, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, as of the date set forth at the beginning hereof.
