ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1.                           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 or notes required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the AdCare Health Systems, Inc.’s  audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in AdCare Health Systems, Inc.’s  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Annual Report”).  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.

 

All inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in the consolidation.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered for a fair presentation are included and are of a normal recurring nature.  The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 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 or exercisable  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 operating income of approximately $4.0 million and $10.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to operating income of approximately $1.8 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The Company had a net loss of approximately $1.7 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and net income of $3.5 million and a net loss of $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company had negative working capital of approximately $2.3 million at September 30, 2012. Approximately $3.0 million of the negative working capital ratio is related to short term debt under a VIE which the Company does not guarantee.  (See Note 12).  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 quality mix by increasing Medicare patients and further optimizing our newly acquired facilities;

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

·               refinancing debt where possible on longer terms 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 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. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company sold all the equipment of the home health segment for approximately $50,000 and discontinued providing services resulting in an immaterial gain on sale.

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Approximately $23.7 million of the scheduled maturities in 2012, 2014 and 2015, relate to the subordinated convertible notes issued in 2010, 2011 and 2012.  While management cannot predict with certainty, we anticipate that some holders of the subordinated convertible notes will elect to convert their subordinated convertible notes into common stock provided the common stock continues to trade above the applicable conversion price for such notes.  The conversion prices are $3.73, $4.80 and $3.97 for the subordinated convertible notes issued in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.    If all of the subordinated convertible notes had been converted to common stock at September 30, 2012, then the Company would have been required to issue approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock.

 

Revolving Credit Facilities

 

Gemino Credit Agreement

 

At December 31, 2011, the outstanding balance of approximately $7.3 million for the revolving credit agreement was classified as current as a result of the required lockbox arrangement and subjective acceleration clauses.

 

On September 20, 2012, AdCare terminated and paid off all amounts outstanding under that certain Credit Agreement, dated October 29, 2010, between Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC (“Gemino”) and AdCare (the “Gemino credit facility”).  The Gemino credit facility was a secured credit facility for borrowings up to $7.5 million, which was to mature on October 29, 2013.  As of September 20, 2012, the amount outstanding in principal balance was approximately $4.2 million which was paid from funds made available to AdCare from a new credit facility entered into with the PrivateBank and Trust Company (“PrivateBank”).  Interest accrued on the principal balance outstanding of the Gemino credit facility at an annual rate equal to LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin of 4.75% to 5.00%, depending on the principal amount outstanding.  The Gemino credit facility contained various financial covenants and other restrictions, including a fixed charge cover ratio and maximum loan turn days, as well as borrowing base restrictions.  No material early termination penalties were incurred by AdCare as a result of the termination.

 

Gemino-Bonterra Amendment

 

On September 20, 2012, ADK Bonterra/Parkview, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare (“Bonterra”), entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement with Gemino, which amended that certain Credit Agreement, dated April 27, 2011, between Bonterra and Gemino (the “Gemino-Bonterra credit facility”). The Gemino-Bonterra credit facility is a secured credit facility for borrowings up to $2.0 million. The amendment extends the term of the Gemino-Bonterra credit facility from October 29, 2013 to January 31, 2014 and amends certain financial covenants regarding Bonterra’s fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum loan turn days and applicable margin.  Interest accrues on the principal balance outstanding at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 4.75% to 5.00%, depending upon the principal amount outstanding.  As of September 30, 2012, approximately $1.4 million was outstanding under the Gemino-Bonterra credit facility.

PrivateBank Credit Facility

 

On September 20, 2012, in connection with the payoff of the Gemino credit facility, AdCare entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with PrivateBank.  The PrivateBank credit facility provides for a three-year $10.6 million principal amount senior secured revolving credit facility limited to certain borrowing base restrictions and offset by a $0.1 million letter of credit.

 

The PrivateBank credit facility matures on September 20, 2015.  Interest accrues on the principal balance thereof at an annual rate of the greater of 1% plus the prime interest rate per annum, or 5% per annum, and payments for the interest are payable monthly, commencing on October 1, 2012.  In addition, there is a non-utilization fee of 0.5% of the unused portion of the available credit. The PrivateBank credit facility may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, provided that such prepayment is accompanied by a simultaneous payment of all accrued but unpaid interest through the date of prepayment.  The PrivateBank credit facility is secured by a first priority security interest in the real property and improvements constituting nursing facilities owned and operated by AdCare.  AdCare has unconditionally guaranteed all amounts owing under the PrivateBank credit facility.

 

Proceeds from the PrivateBank credit facility were used to pay off all amounts outstanding under (i) a separate $2.0 million credit facility with PrivateBank under which certain subsidiaries of AdCare were borrowers and (ii)  the Gemino credit facility.

 

The PrivateBank credit facility was modified in October 2012.  (See Note 16.)

 

Mortgage Notes

 

Hearth and Home of Vandalia

NOTE 12.  VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

 

As further described in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report, the Company has certain variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated because 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.

 

In June 2012, the Company amended the Option Agreement to purchase Riverchase Village Facility to extend the option exercise period to June 22, 2013.  There have been no significant changes in these relationships in 2012.  The following summarizes the assets and liabilities of the variable interest entities included in the consolidated balance sheets:

The current owner of the facility was obligated for the outstanding debt of the facility and the Company did 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 under this arrangement the Company was not the primary beneficiary and, consolidation was not required.  The arrangement terminated on August 17, 2012 when the Company acquired effective control of Companion Specialized Care Center (See Note 9).

NOTE 13.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The derivative liability is the result of the Company issuing subordinated convertible notes in 2010.  The notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a current conversion price of $3.73 (adjusted for various stock dividends) that is subject to future reductions if the Company issues equity instruments at a lower price. Because there is no minimum conversion price,  an indeterminate number of shares may be issued in the future. Accordingly, the Company determined an embedded derivative existed that was required to be bifurcated from the subordinated convertible notes and accounted for separately as a derivative liability recorded at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes Merton option-pricing model with changes in fair value being reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. This model requires certain key inputs that are significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The Company currently has no plans to issue equity instruments at a price lower than the conversion price of $3.73, the current conversion price of the subordinated convertible notes issued in 2010.  The derivative liability is a non-cash item.  Upon conversion to common stock, the debt and derivative liability will be extinguished, the current fair market value of the common stock will be reflected as common stock and additional paid-in capital, and there may be a resulting gain or loss on the debt extinguishment.  If not converted to common stock, upon settlement at the date of maturity, the debt and derivative liability will result in a gain on debt extinguishment for the remaining fair value of the derivative.

 

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 September 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.

 

In 2012, the Company was named as a defendant in two related lawsuits asserting breach of contract claims arising out of consulting agreements executed in 2010 in connection with the Company’s becoming the operator of certain leased facilities that were previously operated by a third-party.  The same transaction was already the subject of litigation commenced by the Company in 2011 against several entities which had previously operated the leased facilities.  After becoming the operator of the lease facilities, the Company incurred certain losses for pre-closing activities for which the Company was entitled to indemnification.  The Company sought to enforce its rights to indemnity by filing a lawsuit

against the former operators of the leased facilities for breach of contract and related tort claims, and the Company proceeded to set off its losses against payment due under the consulting agreements referenced above.  The defendants filed counterclaims against the Company.  In the third quarter of 2012, a settlement was reached with respect to the three lawsuits that permitted the Company to eliminate a previously accrued liability in light of the lower than expected settlement amount of approximately $1.0 million resulting in a non-cash settlement gain of approximately $0.4 million recognized in the third quarter.  During the third quarter, approximately $0.3 million of the settlement was paid and the majority of the remaining balance will be paid within one year.

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.  (See Note 16).

Properties”) to acquire property comprising Building 1145 of the Offices at Hembree, a condominium, located in Roswell, Georgia, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 million.  The lender which the Company anticipates using to finance this acquisition has received a third party appraisal with respect to the property which is consistent with the purchase price.

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 recorded an obligation based on an estimated amount of approximately $0.1 million.  The Company is pursuing remedial actions under the Voluntary Correction Programs (“VCP”). The Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Department of Labor may not accept the Company’s VCP proposal.. Thus the obligation may be adjusted in the future.  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.

Acquisitions

 

We have embarked on a strategy to grow our business through acquisitions and leases of senior care facilities.  During the first nine months of 2012, we acquired nine facilities (eight skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility), bringing our total bed count to 4,791 at September 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 approximately $12.4 million.  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 approximately $27.2 million.  We obtained effective control and operations commenced on April 1, 2012.

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

 

·             On April 17, 2912, we amended a Purchase and Sale Agreement with First Commercial Bank to acquire five skilled nursing facilities located in Oklahoma.  On October 12, 2012, we assigned our rights to purchase two of these facilities to a related party.  We expect closing to occur no later than December 31, 2012. See Notes 14, 15 and 16 in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” section of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

 

·              On April 27, 2012, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with 1761 Pinewood Holdings, LLC to acquire a 96-bed

 

26



Table of Contents

 

skilled nursing facility located in Sumter, South Carolina for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.5 million.  We expect the closing of the acquisition to occur on December 31, 2012.

 

·              On August 9, 2012, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Winyah Nursing Home, Inc. to acquire an 84-bed skilled nursing facility located in Georgetown, South Carolina for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.2 million.  We expect closing to occur on or before December 27, 2012.

LJL Properties, LLC has applied for a Permit of Approval permitting construction of a 70-bed nursing facility in Cabot, Arkansas.  We expect closing to occur no later than December 15, 2012.

 

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 Condensed 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, typically, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenue in our skilled nursing segment increased approximately $ 20.2 million and $58.4 million, respectively, compared to September 30, 2011, as a result of acquisition growth.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, this segment had income from operations of $4.5 million and $13.0 million 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 $63.9 million due to acquisitions made since September 30, 2011 and other building improvements.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenue in our ALF segment increased approximately $ 0.9 million and $ 2.8 million, respectively, compared to September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, this segment had income from operations of approximately $0.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively.  Total assets increased $ 7.7 million primarily due to acquisitions since September 30, 2011 and other building improvements made during the last twelve 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.

 

In October 2012, the Company entered into a an Agreement of Sale pursuant to which the Company may sell ALFs in Ohio (the “Ohio ALFs”). Management expects the sale to close on or before December 31, 2012.  We estimate the cash proceeds from the sale will be approximately $6.7 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Ohio ALF’s had revenues of approximately $6.8 million and operating income of approximately $1.7 million.  At September 30, 2012, the Ohio ALFs had approximately $15.4 million in assets that will likely be sold and $12.6 million in debt that will likely be extinguished as a result of the sale.

 

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 September 30, 2012 and 2011

 

Patient Care Revenues - For the periods presented, total patient care revenues increased $21.2 million, or 53%.

 

Revenue in our SNF segment increased approximately $20.2 million when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of additional facilities acquired since September 2011.  This segment had net income from operations of approximately $4.5 million which is $2.2 million higher compared to the three months ended September 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 $0.9 million when compared to the three months ended September 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 $0.7 million which is $0.3 million more than the same period in 2011 from an annual increase in rates charged to residents of the facilities.

 

Management Revenue - For the periods presented, management revenues (net of eliminations) increased $0.1 million, or 30%, as a result of a net increase of one managed facility.

 

Cost of Services — For the periods presented, cost of services was approximately $49.2 million or 80% of patient care revenue compared to $32.6 million or 81% 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.

 

General and Administrative - For the three months ended September 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4.3 million in 2012 compared to $3.3 million in 2011, an increase of $1.0 million, or 32 %. As a percent of total revenues, general and administration expenses were approximately 7.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 8.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Our performance-based incentive expense increased by $0.5 million reflecting the improvement in the Company’s financial results. Wage and other employee related costs increased $0.2 million as a result of additional staffing needed to support the growth in operations.  Investor relations expenses increased by of approximately $0.1 million.  Datacenter cost has increased by $0.2 million as a result of outsourcing our IT department.

 

Facility Rent Expense - For the periods presented, lease expenses increased $0.1 million due to annual increases and the addition of the one new leased facility in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Depreciation and Amortization - For the periods presented, depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million.  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 $1.8 million, or 80%.  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 September 30, 2012, acquisition costs, net of gains was an expense of $0.3 million, compared to $1.1 million for the comparative period.  For the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2012, the derivative loss was $2.1 million, compared to a gain of $4.7 million for the same period in 2011. The derivative results from the subordinated notes issued in 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 increased during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, from June 30, 2012 to September 30, 2012.

 

Comparison for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

 

Patient Care Revenues - For the periods presented, total patient care revenues increased $61.2 million, or 59%.

 

Revenue in our SNF segment increased approximately $58.4 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of additional facilities acquired since September, 2011.  This segment had net income from operations of $13.0  million which is $8.5  million higher compared to the nine months ended September 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.

Table of Contents

 

Revenue in our ALF segment increased approximately $2.8 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as a result one new facility in 2012 and one new facility in the fourth quarter of 2011.  This segment had income from operations of $2.0 million which is $1.0 million more than the same period in 2011.

 

Management Revenue - For the periods presented, management revenues (net of eliminations) decreased $0.2 million, or 12%, as a result of fewer managed facilities.

 

Cost of Services — For the periods presented, cost of services was approximately $131.5 million or 79% of patient care revenue compared to $84.9 million or 81% 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 a percent of patient care revenue reflects the implementation of consolidated purchasing programs and other cost reduction efforts. In 2012, the Company eliminated 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses were approximately $13.2 million in 2012 compared to $9.4 million in 2011, an increase of $3.8 million, or 41%. As a percent of total revenues, general and administration expenses were approximately 7.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 8.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011Our performance-based incentive expense increased by $1.5 million reflecting the improvement in the Company’s financial results. Wage and other employee related costs increased $0.6 million as a result of additional staffing needed to support the growth in operations.  Travel costs have increased approximately $0.3 million as a result of acquisitions and more geographically dispersed operations. Investor relations expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million. Non-employee Board compensation increased approximately $0.2 million.  This increase is to align Board compensation with the Company’s peer group and to provide appropriate remuneration for their services.  Datacenter cost has increased by $0.2 million as a result of outsourcing our IT department.

 

Facility Rent Expense - For the periods presented, lease expenses increased $0.5 million due to annual increases and the addition of the one new leased facility in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Depreciation and Amortization - For the periods presented, depreciation and amortization increased $3.2 million.  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 $4.8 million or 87%.  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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, acquisition costs, net of gains was an expense of $1.2 million, compared to an expense of $0.8 million for the comparative period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the total acquisition costs were legal fees directly related to acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and other costs incurred on potential future acquisitions.

 

Derivative Gain/Loss - For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the derivative loss was $1.3 million, compared to a gain of $0.8 million for the same period in 2011. The derivative results from the subordinated convertible notes issued 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 of the Company increased during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012.

 

Other Income/(Expense) - For the periods presented, other income decreased $0.3 million.  There was a recovery of receivables recorded in the prior year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there was a $0.4 million non-cash settlement gain as a result of the litigation settlement partially offset by other expenses.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

There have been no significant changes during the nine months ended September 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.

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 negative working capital of approximately $2.3 million at September 30, 2012.  Our ability to sustain profitable operations is dependent on continued growth in revenues and controlling costs. Approximately $3.0 million of the negative working capital ratio is related to short term debt under a VIE which the Company does not guarantee.  (See Note 12 in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” section of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report).

 

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.

 

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations

 

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations”) and adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Rent from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations”) are measures of operating performance that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying quantitative reconciliations to net income (loss) (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures), provide a more complete understanding of factors or trends affecting our business.

The Company defines: (i) “Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations “ as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense; depreciation and amortization (including amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation), acquisition costs (net of gains), loss on extinguishment of debt, derivative loss or gain, other non-routine adjustments (primarily a recovery of a receivable and a non-cash settlement gain) , and retirement and salary continuation costs; and (ii) “Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations” as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense; income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (including amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation), acquisition costs (net of gains), loss on extinguishment of debt, derivative loss; other non-routine adjustments (primarily a recovery of a receivable and a non-cash settlement gain), retirement and salary continuation costs and rent cost.

 

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations or cash flows provided by, or used in, operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations are used by management to focus on operating performance and management without mixing in items of income and expense that relate to the financing and capitalization of the business, fixed rent or lease payments of facilities, derivative loss or gain, and certain

acquisition related charges.

 

The Company believes these measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance, results of operations and financial position for the following reasons:

 

·             They are helpful in identifying trends in the Company’s day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance to the Company’s day-to-day operations;

 

·             They provide an assessment of controllable expenses and afford management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance; and

 

·             They are an indication to determine whether or not adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.

 

AdCare believes that the use of the measures provides a meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company’s underlying business between periods by eliminating certain items required by GAAP, which have little or no significance in the Company’s day-to-day operations.

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 nine months ended September 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.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

On August 31, 2012, the Company issued to a vendor a warrant to purchase 15,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.37 per share. The warrant was issued (and if the warrant is exercised, then the underlying shares of common stock will be issued) without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) thereof. The Company relied on this exemption based upon the private nature of the transaction and representations made by the vendor as to its sophistication and intent to hold the securities for its own account and without a view to distribute, among other things. The warrant has a three-year term and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

30



 

expenses in connection therewith.  Buyer shall promptly advise Seller in writing prior to the filing of any contest and shall provide Seller copies of all relevant documents in connection with such contest.  Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such contest.

(b)                                  any Obligations expressly assumed by Buyer hereunder;

21.4.                      Notice to the Indemnifying Party .  Within thirty (30) days after the assertion of any claim by a third-party or occurrence of any event which may give rise to a claim for indemnification from a party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) under this Article XXI, the other party (the “Indemnified Party” ) shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim and, with respect to claims by third parties, advise the Indemnifying Party whether the Indemnified Party intends to contest same; provided, however, failure to provide such notice shall not in any way serve to waive or diminish the indemnification rights of the Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any inadvertent delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall in no case prejudice the rights of the Indemnified Party under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall actually be prejudiced by such failure.

 

21.5.                      Rights of Parties to Settle or Defend .  If the Indemnified Party determines not to contest such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to contest and defend against such claim.  If the Indemnified Party determines to contest such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to be represented, at its own expense by its own counsel and accountants, their participation to be subject to the reasonable direction of the Indemnified Party.  In either case, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys and accountants, at all reasonable times during normal business hours, all books, records, and other documents in its possession relating to such claim.  The party contesting any such claim shall be furnished all reasonable assistance in connection therewith by the other party.  If the Indemnifying Party fails to undertake the defense of, or settle or pay, any such third-party claim within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party has given written notice to the Indemnifying Party advising that the Indemnified Party does not intend to contest such claim, or the Indemnifying Party, after having received such notification from the Indemnified Party, fails forthwith to defend, settle or pay such claim, then the Indemnified Party may take any and all necessary action to dispose of such claim, including, without limitation, the settlement or full payment thereof upon such terms as it shall deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, subject to the following with respect to any proposed settlement thereof.

 

38



 

21.6.                      Settlement Proposals .  In the event the Indemnified Party desires to settle any such third-party claim (whether or not contested by the Indemnifying Party), the Indemnified Party shall advise the Indemnifying Party of the amount it proposes to pay in settlement thereof and the terms of the settlement thereof (the “ Proposed Settlement ”).  If such Proposed Settlement is unsatisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, it shall have the right, at its own expense, to contest such claim by giving written notice of such election to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after the Indemnifying Party has been advised of the Proposed Settlement.  If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver such written notice within ten (10) days after the Indemnifying Party has been advised of the Proposed Settlement, the Indemnified Party may offer the Proposed Settlement to the third-party making such claim.  If the Proposed Settlement is not accepted by the party making such claim, any new Proposed Settlement figure which the Indemnified Party may wish to present to the party making such claim shall first be presented to the Indemnifying Party who shall have the right, subject to the conditions hereinabove set forth in this Section 21.6, to contest such claim.  In all such events, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party and hold it harmless against and from any and all costs of defense, payment or settlement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith.

 

21.7.                      Reimbursement .  At the time that the Indemnified Party shall suffer a loss because of a breach of any warranty, representation or covenant by the Indemnifying Party or at the time the amount of any liability on the part of the Indemnifying Party under this Article XXI is determined (which in the case of payments to third persons shall be the earlier of: (a) the date of such payments; or (b) the date that a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter a final judgment, order or decree (after exhaustion of appeal rights establishing such liability), the Indemnifying Party shall forthwith, upon notice from the Indemnified Party, pay to the Indemnified Party, the amount of the indemnity claim.  If such amount is not paid forthwith, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, take legal action against the Indemnifying Party for reimbursement in the amount of its indemnity claim.

 

21.8.                      Limitations on Indemnification Obligations of Seller .  Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article XXI are subject to the following conditions precedent and limitations:

5.             Ratification . Except to the extent amended hereby, Purchaser and Seller ratify and confirm that all other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

6.             Counterparts . This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the same Amendment, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page, and an electronic PDF or facsimile copy of an executed counterpart shall constitute the same as delivery of the original of such executed counterpart. Any signature page of this Amendment (whether original or facsimile) may be detached from any counterpart of this Amendment (whether original or facsimile) without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereof and may be attached to another counterpart of this Amendment (whether original, PDF or facsimile) identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages (whether original, PDF or facsimile).

Any additional cash or liquid collateral deposited by Borrowers hereunder in order to achieve the required Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Facility and cure any existing default with respect thereto will be held by Lender in a standard custodial account and shall constitute additional collateral for the obligations related to the Loan and an “Account” as defined in this Agreement, and, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, may be applied by Lender, in such order and manner as Lender may elect, to the reduction of the obligations related to the Loan.  Borrowers shall not be entitled to any interest earned on such additional collateral.  Provided that there is no outstanding Default or Event of Default, such additional collateral which has not been applied to the Loan Obligations will be released by Lender at such time as Borrowers provide Lender with evidence that the required minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio and minimum Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements set forth above have been achieved and maintained (without regard to any cash or liquid collateral deposited pursuant to this section) for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any additional liquid collateral posted by Borrowers under the AR Loan Agreement for purposes of satisfying this covenant, if the lender thereof is an Affiliate of the Lender, shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements herein.

(e)                                   Borrowers grant to Lender a right of setoff against all moneys in the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund, and Borrowers shall not permit any other Lien to exist upon such fund.

 

(f)                                    Upon Borrowers’ failure to adequately maintain the Facility in good condition, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make such capital expenditures and may apply the moneys in the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund for such purpose.  To the extent there are insufficient moneys in the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund for such purposes, all funds advanced by Lender to make such capital expenditures shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid.  Upon an Event of Default, Lender may apply any moneys in the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund to the Loan Obligations, in such order and manner as Lender may elect.

7.12                         Construction of Provisions of this Agreement .   Lender has not agreed to make any loan other than that specifically described herein.  All requirements herein shall be deemed material to Lender.

70



 

deemed that each of the aforesaid shall be in the sole discretion of the Lender (except as otherwise expressly provided), and if any term or condition requires Lender’s approval, consent, or satisfaction (the “ Lender’s Approval ”), the Lender’s Approval shall not be implied, but shall be evidenced only by a written notice from Lender specifically addressed to the particular requirement or condition and expressing Lender’s Approval.  If “Borrower” or “Guarantor” consists of more than one Person, all obligations of Borrowers or Guarantors are joint and several and all references herein to “Borrower” or “Guarantor” shall apply both individually to each Person and in the alternative to all of them collectively, whether or not so stated.

7.15                         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .  EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE LOAN, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF LENDER AND/OR BORROWERS WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY PARTY’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.  EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT LENDER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL BE ABLE TO FILE A COPY OF ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED AGREEMENT OF EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY TO

7.17                         Time is of the Essence .  Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents and of each provision hereof.

 

7.18                         Seniority; Subordination .

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$5,000,000

 

August 17, 2012

 

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , the undersigned, CSCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company, and CSCC NURSING, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (collectively, the “ Maker ”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE SENIOR LIEN FUND I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter, together with any subsequent holder of this Note, the “ Holder ”) at its main office in the Borough of Shrewsbury, New Jersey, or at such other address as the Holder may, from time to time, designate in writing, the principal sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “ Loan ”), together with interest thereon, such principal and interest to be payable as follows:

 

A.                                     On the date hereof, Maker shall pay to Holder a payment of interest in the amount of $22,430.56.

 

B.                                     On September 20, 2012, and on the twentieth day of each successive calendar month thereafter until July 20, 2015, Maker shall pay to Holder an installment of interest at the Note Rate on the principal amount of this Note (such payments under paragraphs A and B being hereinafter referred to as the “ Installment Payments ”) or such greater amount pursuant to the terms of this Note. The Installment Payments are set forth on an amortization schedule attached to the Loan Agreement (as defined below) as Schedule 2.4(a) . Borrower acknowledges receipt and review of both Schedule 2.4(a)  of the Loan Agreement and the electronic version of Schedule 2.4(a) , which electronic version, among other things, sets forth the formulas and other calculations employed to create such amortization table.

 

D.                                     On August 20, 2015 (the “ Maturity Date ”), if not sooner prepaid, Maker shall pay to Holder, without demand, the outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, as such Maturity Date may be extended as provided for herein.

 

The Installment Payments are based upon an interest rate of eight and one-half percent per annum (8.50%) (the “Note Rate” ).

 

Each payment received shall be applied in the following order:

 

(1)                                  First, to accrued and unpaid interest at the Note Rate as part of the Installment Payments; and

 

(3)                                  Second, to other principal amounts outstanding, subject to payment of any prepayment premium as defined in and due pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

1



 

Reference to the Loan Agreement between Maker and Holder of even date herewith, as the same may hereafter be amended (as so amended, the “ Loan Agreement ”) is hereby made for a statement of the rights of Holder and the obligations of Maker, which Loan Agreement is incorporated herein by this reference, but neither this reference to the Loan Agreement nor any provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of Maker to pay the principal and interest of this Note when due. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual number of days elapsed and dividing the product so obtained by 360 . Interest for partial period payments will be calculated by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual days elapsed, and dividing the product so obtained by 360.

 

The principal and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payment.  Maker may prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, or any part thereof, only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

 

This Note is secured and guaranteed by the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the Mortgage, the Assignment of Lease and Rents, the Security Agreement and the Collateral.

 

The principal sum evidenced by this Note, together with accrued interest, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Holder upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, which such “Events of Default” are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full herein.

 

Notwithstanding other remedies available to the Holder, if any payment due hereunder is not made on or before the tenth (10th) day after such payment became due, Maker, in addition to the amount in default, will also pay to Holder a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment which is in default, but not more than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  Notwithstanding other remedies available to the Holder, if any payment due hereunder is not made on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after such payment became due, Maker, in addition to the amount in default, will also pay to Holder a total late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment which is in default, but not more than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  Thereafter, for each thirty (30) days such payment or charge is not paid, Maker agrees to pay Holder an additional late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment or charge which has not been paid to Holder.

 

2



 

Upon an Event of Default the Note Rate shall be increased by five hundred (500) basis points (such increased rate, the “ Default Rate ”), computed from the date of the notice from Holder of the Event of Default as described in the Loan Agreement, subject to Maker’s cure of such Event of Default within thirty (30) days following notice from Holder of such Event of Default.  If such Event of Default is not cured within such thirty (30) day period, the Note Rate shall remain at five hundred (500) basis points above the Note Rate computed from the date of the notice from Holder of such Event of Default until the Event of Default has been cured. The intent of such provision is that following an Event of Default, and regardless of any intervening Events of Default until such initial Event of Default is cured, the Note Rate shall be increased only one time and, once cured, any succeeding Event of Default shall then again be governed by the provisions of this paragraph. In the event (i) Maker cures such Event of Default to the satisfaction of Holder in its sole discretion (which, with respect to a payment Event of Default, shall mean solely repayment by the Maker of amounts then due under this Note) and (ii) Holder elects not to exercise any of its other remedies upon such Event of Default, interest on the Loan shall return to the Note Rate, all as more particularly described in the Loan Agreement.

 

Maker will bear all taxes, fees and expenses (including actual attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel of Holder) in connection with this Note.  If, at any time, a Default occurs or Holder becomes a party to any suit or proceeding in order to protect its interests or its rights under this Note, or if Holder is made a party to any suit or proceeding by virtue of this Note and as a result of any of the foregoing, Holder employs counsel to advise or provide other representation with respect to this Note, or to take any action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Note, then in any such events, all of the actual attorneys’ fees arising from such services, including attorneys’ fees for preparation of litigation and in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional obligations of Maker to Holder payable on demand of Holder.  Such amounts shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced until repaid.

 

With respect to the amounts due pursuant to this Note, the Maker waives the following:

 

(1)                                  All rights of exemption of property from levy or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts under the Constitution or laws of the United States or any state thereof;

 

(2)                                  Demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, suit against any party, diligence in collection of this Note, and all other requirements necessary to enforce this Note except for notices expressly required by the Loan Documents; and

 

(3)                                  Any further receipt by or acknowledgment of any collateral now or hereafter deposited as security for the Loan.

 

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest designated by applicable law, and in the event such payment is inadvertently paid by Maker or inadvertently received by Holder, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless Maker elects to have such excess sums refunded to Maker herewith.

 

3



 

It is the express intent hereof that Maker not pay and Holder not receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be legally paid by Maker under applicable law.

 

Holder shall not by any act, delay, omission, or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Holder.  All rights and remedies of Holder under the terms of this Note and applicable statutes or rules of law shall be cumulative, and may be exercised successively or concurrently.  Maker agrees that there are no defenses, equities or setoffs with respect to the obligations set forth herein, and to the extent any such defenses, equities, or setoffs may exist, the same are hereby expressly released, forgiven, waived and forever discharged.  The obligations of Maker hereunder shall be binding upon and enforceable against Maker and its successors and assigns.

 

Any provisions of this Note which may be unenforceable or invalid under any law shall be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity without affecting the enforceability or validity of any other provision hereof.

 

If Maker consists of more than one individual or entity, all obligations hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

Holder may, at its option, release any Collateral given to secure the indebtedness evidenced hereby or may release ay Guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and no such release shall impair the obligations of Maker to Holder.

 

IN ANY SUIT UPON THIS NOTE THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT, AND EFFECT OF THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.  THE HOLDER’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, AND THE MAKER AGREES THAT THIS NOTE SHALL BE HELD BY HOLDER AT SUCH PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS, AND THE HOLDING OF THIS NOTE BY HOLDER THEREAT SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT MINIMUM CONTACTS OF MAKER WITH THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONFERRING JURISDICTION UPON THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS PRESIDING IN SUCH STATE AND THE COUNTY OF HOLDER’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS.  MAKER CONSENTS THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS PRESIDING IN SUCH COUNTY AND STATE AND ASSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING THIS NOTE.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OTHER COURT.

 

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAKER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR IN

CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO OR CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE EXERCISE OF EITHER PARTY’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES THEREUNDER, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.

 

EACH MAKER AGREES THAT HOLDER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS WAIVER WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT OF MAKER IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER BETWEEN MAKER AND HOLDER SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

REVOLVING LOAN PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$600,000

 

August 17, 2012

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , the undersigned, CSCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company, and CSCC NURSING, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (collectively, the “ Maker ”), “), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE FUND I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter, together with any subsequent holder of this Note, the “ Holder ”) at its main office in the Borough of Shrewsbury, New Jersey, or at such other address as the Holder may, from time to time, designate in writing, the principal sum of Sic Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($600,000) (the “ Loan ”) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid amount of all advances made under the Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement (hereinafter defined), and, together with interest thereon as herein provided, such principal and interest to be payable as follows:

 

A.            Beginning September 20, 2012 and on the 20 th  day of each subsequent month until the Maturity Date, as defined below, if not sooner prepaid, Maker shall pay to Holder without demand, payments of interest and payments of principal in excess of the Borrowing Base as defined in the Loan Agreement (the “Installment Payment” ). The Installment Payment amount will be calculated based upon an interest rate of nine percent (9%) per annum for the term of the Loan (the “ Note Rate ”). Each monthly Installment Payment will be the sum of:

 

(i)            the products of the Note Rate divided by 360 multiplied by the daily outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the preceding monthly period multiplied by thirty (30) days. Interest for partial period payments will be calculated by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual days elapsed, and dividing the product so obtained by 360; and

 

(ii)           the difference between the outstanding principal balance and the Borrowing Base; should the outstanding principal balance be less than or equal to the Borrowing Base this amount shall be zero (0).

 

B.            On August 20, 2015 (the “ Maturity Date ”), unless such date is extended a provided for herein, if not sooner prepaid, Maker shall pay to Holder without demand, the outstanding principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

 

Each Installment Payment received shall be applied in the following order:

 

(i)            First, to accrued and unpaid interest at the Note Rate as part of the Installment Payments;

 



 

(ii)           Second, to any additional payments related to an Installment Payment; and

 

(iii)          Third, to other principal amounts outstanding, subject to payment of any Non-Use Fee, Monitoring Fee or Exit Fee due pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

Provided Maker is not in arrears in Installment Payments, Maker may pay to Holder, up to once monthly, a payment to be credited to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan (“ Principal Reduction Payment ”).  For the purposes of calculating interest on the Loan, the Principal Reduction Payment will be credited to the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loan on the date of receipt by the Holder.

 

Reference to the Loan Agreement between Maker and Holder of even date herewith, as the same may hereafter be amended (as so amended, the “ Loan Agreement ”) is hereby made for a statement of the rights of Holder and the obligations of Maker, which Loan Agreement is incorporated herein by this reference, but neither this reference to the Loan Agreement nor any provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of Maker to pay the outstanding principal and interest of this Note when due. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

The principal and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payment.  Maker may prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, or any part thereof, only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

 

This Note is secured and guaranteed by the Loan Documents and the Collateral.

 

The outstanding principal sum evidenced by this Note, together with accrued interest, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Holder upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, which such “Events of Default” are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full herein.

 

Notwithstanding other remedies available to the Holder, if any payment due hereunder is not made on or before the tenth (10th) day after such payment became due, Maker, in addition to the amount in default, will also pay to Holder a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment which is in default, but not more than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  Notwithstanding other remedies available to the Holder, if any payment due hereunder is not made on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after such payment became due, Maker, in addition to the amount in default, will also pay to Holder a total late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment which is in default, but not more than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  Thereafter, for each thirty (30) days such payment or charge is not paid, Maker agrees to pay Holder an additional late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment or charge which has not been paid to Holder.

 

Upon an Event of Default the Note Rate shall be increased by five hundred (500) basis points (such increased rate, the “ Default Rate ”), computed from the date of the notice from Holder of the Event of Default as described in the Loan Agreement, subject to Maker’s cure of such Event of Default within thirty (30) days following notice from Holder of such Event of Default.  If such Event of Default is not cured within such thirty (30) day period, the Note Rate

 

2



 

shall remain at five hundred (500) basis points above the Note Rate computed from the date of the notice from Holder of such Event of Default until the Event of Default has been cured. The intent of such provision is that following an Event of Default, and regardless of any intervening Events of Default until such initial Event of Default is cured, the Note Rate shall be increased only one time and, once cured, any succeeding Event of Default shall then again be governed by the provisions of this paragraph. In the event (i) Maker cures such Event of Default to the satisfaction of Holder in its sole discretion (which, with respect to a payment Event of Default, shall mean solely repayment by the Maker of amounts then due under this Note) and (ii) Holder elects not to exercise any of its other remedies during such Event of Default, interest on the Loan shall return to the Note Rate, all as more particularly described in the Loan Agreement.

 

Maker will bear all taxes, fees and expenses (including actual attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel of Holder) in connection with this Note.  If, at any time, a Default occurs or Holder becomes a party to any suit or proceeding in order to protect its interests or its rights under this Note, or if Holder is made a party to any suit or proceeding by virtue of this Note and as a result of any of the foregoing, Holder employs counsel to advise or provide other representation with respect to this Note, or to take any action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Note, then in any such events, all of the actual attorneys’ fees arising from such services, including attorneys’ fees for preparation of litigation and in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional obligations of Maker to Holder payable on demand of Holder.  Such amounts shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced until repaid.

 

With respect to the amounts due pursuant to this Note, each Maker waives the following:

FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the Loan, defined below, and other good and valuable consideration, in hand paid by Lender, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lessors do hereby (i) grant, transfer and immediately and absolutely assign to Lender, its successors and assigns, all of the right, title and interest of Lessors in and to the rents (and payments in lieu of rents), income and profits arising from the Premises (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) all of Lessors’ remaining interests as “landlord” or “lessor” in and to those certain lease agreements, residency agreements, occupancy agreements, tenant contracts, rental agreements and any other agreements for the leasing, rental, use or occupancy of space by tenants, residents or patients now or hereafter existing (together with any and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof and guarantees of the payment and/or performance of obligations of any tenant or lessee thereunder) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Leases ” and said tenants or lessees thereunder hereinafter collectively referred to as “ Tenants ” or individually as “ Tenant ” as the context requires), now or hereafter executed by or on behalf of the Lessors (or assigned to the Lessors), as “landlord” or “lessor” therein, and others as “Tenant” or “Lessee” therein, conveying or demising all or any portion of the space in the improvements now or hereafter located on those certain tracts or parcels of land (hereinafter referred to as the “ Premises ”) lying and being in the state of Oklahoma within the County identified on Exhibit A attached hereto, the Premises being more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof, if any, together with all proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Leases or rents and profits therefrom and all of Lessors’ claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by a Tenant of any lease under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq, as the same may be amended. This assignment of rents, income and profits arising from the Premises as hereinabove provided is intended by Lessors and Lender to create, and shall be construed to create, an absolute assignment to Lender, subject only to the terms and provisions hereof, and not as an assignment as security for the indebtedness and obligations hereinbelow described.  This assignment is effective immediately.

 

This Assignment is made in connection with the following described indebtedness and

(a)                                  Any and all indebtedness and obligations evidenced by that certain Promissory Note dated August 17, 2012 (hereinafter referred to as the “ Note ”), executed by the Lessors, payable to the order of Lender at Lender’s office in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, or at such other place as the holder may from time to time require, in the principal sum of $5,000,000.00 (the “ Loan ”), with interest thereon at the rates therein specified, together with any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, amendments and extensions of said note and the indebtedness evidenced by said Note and made pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated August 17, 2012 by and between the Lessors and the Lender (the “ Loan Agreement ”);

 

(b)                                  Any and all indebtedness and obligations evidenced and secured by that certain Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Leases, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated August 17, 2012 (the “ Mortgage ”), executed by the Lessors in favor of Lender, to be recorded in the official records of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, together with all modifications and amendments thereto, as well as any and all advances made by Lender to protect or preserve the lien thereof on the real property encumbered thereby, or for taxes or insurance premiums as provided therein;

 

(c)                                   Any and all advances made by Lender to protect or preserve the security created by this Assignment, or to protect or preserve the Premises or the lien of the Mortgage on the Premises, or for taxes or insurance premiums as provided in the Mortgage; and

 

(d)                                  Any and all indebtedness and obligations of the Lessors contained herein or in any other document or instrument (other than the Note, the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage) evidencing, securing or relating to the indebtedness secured thereby (the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and such other instruments and documents being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Loan Documents ”).

 

Lessors and Lender agree that (i) an extension or extensions may be made at the time of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness; (ii) the terms of this Assignment and any of any of the Loan Documents may be modified; (iii) additional security may be given by the Lessors; and (iv) any of the Leases may be released herefrom, all without altering or affecting the security interest created by this Assignment and without altering or releasing the obligations of the Lessors under any of the Loan Documents.

 

Should the Indebtedness be paid when the same shall become due and payable, then this Assignment shall be canceled and surrendered as hereinafter provided.

 

Lessors and Lender hereby further covenant and agree as follows, in addition to and not in substitution for or in derogation of any other covenants contained in the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents:

5



 

(a)                                  Although this Assignment constitutes a present and current assignment of all rents, issues and profits from the Premises, so long as there shall exist no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) on the part of Lessors, Lessors shall have a license to collect, but not more than one (1) month prior to accrual, all such rents, issues and profits from the Premises (including, but not by way of limitation, all rental payments under any of the Leases) and to retain, use and enjoy such rents, issues and profits from the Premises for each Lessor’s own account, such license to expire automatically and without further notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; and

 

(b)                                  Upon the filing by Lender in the official records of Tulsa County, Oklahoma of a full satisfaction or release of the Mortgage without the recording of another security instrument in favor of Lender affecting the Premises, this Assignment shall likewise be canceled without the necessity of any further act by Lender.

 

ARTICLE II.

 

2.1                                Event of Default .  The term “Event of Default,” wherever used in this Assignment, shall mean any one or more of the following events:

 

(a)                                  The occurrence of any default or Event of Default under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents;

 

(b)                                  Failure by the Lessors to duly observe any covenant, condition or agreement of this Assignment; or

 

(c)                                   The breach of any warranty by the Lessors contained in this Assignment, or if any representation or certification made or agreed to be made herein shall prove to be false or materially misleading.

 

2.2                                Remedies .  Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, and not in substitution for or derogation thereof, Lender shall become immediately entitled to all rents, income, profits and proceeds arising from the Premises and may, without notice to or demand on the Lessors other than as may be otherwise provided herein, (i) as a matter of strict right and without regard to the value or occupancy of the security, have a receiver appointed to enter upon and take possession of the Premises, collect the rents and profits therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct, such receiver to have all the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Oklahoma, all without becoming a mortgagee-in-possession; (ii) proceed itself to enter upon, take possession of and operate the Premises, or any portion thereof, without becoming a mortgagee-in-possession; (iii) give notice to Tenants that an event of default has occurred and instruct Tenants to pay all rents, issues, income, profits and proceeds directly to Lender to be applied to the extent actually received in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (in which event Lessors agree such giving of notice, receipt of rents, issues, income, profits and proceeds and application thereof shall be in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents); (iv) proceed to perform any and all obligations of Lessors under any of the Leases and exercise any and all rights of Lessors therein contained as fully as the Lessors themselves could, all without regard to the adequacy of security for the indebtedness hereby secured and with or without the bringing of any legal action or the causing of any

 

6



 

receiver to be appointed by any court or other judicial authority; (v) make, enforce, modify and accept the surrender of any of the Leases; (vi) evict the Tenant under any of the Leases or obtain tenants for other space within the Premises; (vii) fix or modify rent; and (viii) do all of the acts which Lender may deem necessary, desirable or proper to protect the security created by this Assignment.  Lessors hereby acknowledge and agree that the intent of this Assignment is to empower Lender to undertake any, all or any combination of the actions hereinabove set forth in this Paragraph 2.2 without notice to the Lessors except as specifically provided herein or, as to the Lessors, in the Loan Documents.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessors do hereby specifically authorize Lender, in the name of the Lessors or in the name of Lender, to sue for or otherwise collect and receive all rents, issues and profits from the Premises, including those past due and unpaid, and to apply such collected rents, issues and profits to the payment of (w) all expenses of managing the Premises, including, without limitation, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees as Lender may deem necessary or desirable, (x) all expenses of operating and maintaining the Premises, including, without limitation, all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water rents, sewer rents, and any other liens, and premiums for all insurance which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable, (y) the cost of alterations, renovations, repairs, or replacements, and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Premises, and (z) the Indebtedness secured hereby, all in such order of priority as Lender in its sole discretion may determine.  Entry upon and taking possession of the Premises and the collection of the rents, issues and profits of the Premises and the application thereof, as aforesaid, shall not operate to waive any default or event of default, or prohibit the taking of any action by Lender under this Assignment, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, or any other Loan Documents or at law or in equity to enforce payment of the Indebtedness secured hereby or to realize on any other security.  No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall be construed or deemed to be a waiver thereof. Any entry, payment or performance by Lender pursuant to the foregoing shall be in Lender’s reasonable discretion and Lender may commence, continue and/or discontinue any or all such actions at any time at Lender’s discretion

 

ARTICLE III.

 

3.1                                Successors and Assigns .  This Assignment shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Lessors and Lender and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns.  Whenever a reference is made in this Assignment to “Lessor” or “Lender,” such reference shall be deemed to include a reference to the heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each Lessor or Lender.

 

3.2                                Terminology .  All personal pronouns used in this Assignment, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other genders, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.  Titles of articles are for convenience only and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Assignment. All representations, warranties, covenants and other provisions applying to Lessors shall also apply to each of them.

 

3.3                                Severability .  If any provision of this Assignment or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Assignment and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

 

7



 

3.4                                Applicable Law .  Lessors and Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that this Assignment and the obligations created hereunder are made and intended as a contract under the laws of the State of Oklahoma and (i) are to be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma, and (ii) are to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

 

3.5                                WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY .  LESSORS AND LENDER (BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF), HAVING BEEN REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL, EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS (A) UNDER THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT OR (B) ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.  EACH LESSOR AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS ASSIGNMENT ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

 

3.6                                Security Deposits .  Each Lessor acknowledges that Lender has not received for its own account any security deposited by any tenant pursuant to the terms of the Leases and that Lender assumes no responsibility or liability for any security so deposited.

 

3.7                                No Third-Party Beneficiaries .  This Assignment is made solely for the benefit of Lender and its assigns.  No Tenant under any of the Leases nor any other person shall have standing to bring any action against Lender as the result of this Assignment, or to assume that Lender will exercise any remedies provided herein, and no person other than Lender shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of any provision of this Assignment.

 

3.8                                No Oral Modifications .  Neither this Assignment nor any provisions hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

 

3.9                                Cumulative Remedies .  The remedies herein provided shall be in addition and not in substitution for the rights and remedies vested in Lender in or by any of the Loan Documents or in law or equity, all of which rights and remedies are specifically reserved by Lender.  The remedies herein provided or otherwise available to Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently.  The failure to exercise any of the remedies herein provided shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall use of any of the remedies provided herein prevent the subsequent or concurrent resort to any other remedy or remedies.  It is intended that this clause shall be broadly construed so that all remedies herein provided or otherwise available to Lender shall continue to be each and all available to Lender until the Indebtedness shall be paid in full.

 

3.10                         Further Assurance .  At any time and from time to time, upon request by Lender, the Lessors will make, execute and deliver, or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to

Lender and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Lender, any and all such other instruments as may, in the opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete or perfect, or to continue and preserve (a) the obligations of such Lessors under this Assignment or (b) the interest created by this Assignment as a first and paramount interest in and to the Leases and the rents, issues and profits from the Premises.

 

3.11                         Notices .  Any and all notices, elections, demands, requests and responses thereto permitted or required to be given under this Assignment shall be in writing, signed by or on behalf of the party giving the same, and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served if (i) deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested, or (ii) delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight courier to the other party at the address of such other party set forth below or at such other address as such other party may designate by notice specifically designated as a notice of change of address and given in accordance herewith.

Mortgagor’s right to reimbursement from any amounts paid to Lender in escrow for taxes shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Tax and Insurance Escrow and Security Agreement with Lender of even date herewith, if such agreement is in effect.

 

(b)                                                                                  Mortgagor shall pay, on or before the due date thereof, all taxes, assessments, charges, expenses, costs and fees which may now or hereafter be levied upon, or assessed or charged against, or incurred in connection with, the Note, this Mortgage or any other Loan Documents; provided, however, nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Mortgagor to pay any of Lender’s income or gross receipts taxes.

(d)                                                                                  Mortgagor shall not suffer any construction, mechanic’s, materialman’s, laborer’s, statutory or other lien (except as expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement) to be created or remain outstanding against the Collateral; provided, however, that Mortgagor may contest any such lien in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings provided the lien is bonded off and removed as an encumbrance upon the Collateral.  Lender has not consented and will not consent to the performance of any work or the furnishing of any materials which might be deemed to create a lien or liens superior to the lien hereof.

 

(e)                                                                                   In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured thereby or the manner of collecting such taxes so as to adversely affect Lender, Mortgagor will pay any such tax on or before the due date thereof.  If Mortgagor fails to make such prompt payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Mortgagor from making such payment or would penalize Lender if Mortgagor makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the Loan Obligations shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable.

 

(f)                                                                                    The Mortgagor hereby indemnifies, agrees to reimburse Lender and holds Lender harmless for, from and against any sales or use tax that may be imposed on the Lender by virtue of Lender’s Loan to Borrowers; provided, however, nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Mortgagor to pay any of Lender’s income or gross receipts taxes.

 

Section 2.4                                     Monthly Deposits Mortgagor shall, as required by the Loan Documents, deposit with Lender, on the due date of each installment under the Note, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the yearly taxes and assessments and insurance premiums with respect to the Collateral as estimated by the Lender to be sufficient to pay such charges all in accordance with the Tax and Insurance Escrow and Security Agreement with Lender of even date herewith; said deposits to be held and to be used by Lender to pay current taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and other charges on the Collateral as the same accrue and are payable.  Payment from said sums for said purposes shall be made by Lender at its discretion and may be made even though such payments will benefit subsequent owners of the Collateral.  Said deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds, but may be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, commingled with the general funds of Lender without payment of interest.  If said deposits are insufficient to pay the taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and other charges in full as the same become payable, Mortgagor will deposit with Lender such additional sum or sums as may be required in order for Lender to pay such taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and other charges in full.  Upon any Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, apply any money in the

 

9



 

fund relating from said deposits to the payment of the Loan Obligations in such manner as it may elect.

 

Section 2.5                                     Condemnation .

 

(a)                                                                                  If all or any part of the Collateral shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term when used in this Mortgage shall include any damage or taking by any governmental authority, and any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, other than a taking of a part of the Collateral which does not in Lender’s reasonable opinion adversely affect access to or use of the Collateral or operation of the Facility, the entire Loan Obligations secured hereby shall at the option of the Lender become due and payable in accordance with Article IV of the Loan Agreement.

 

(b)                                                                                  Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of any institution, or any proposed, contemplated or threatened institution of any action or proceeding for the taking through condemnation of the Collateral or any part thereof, will notify Lender, and Lender is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, through counsel selected by Lender, in its own or in Mortgagor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation.  Mortgagor may compromise or settle any claim for compensation so long as no Event of Default exists and any compromise or settlement results in a payment to Lender not less than the amount that would permit Mortgagor to obtain a release of the Property and Improvements pursuant to the Loan Agreement.  If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the sole and exclusive right to compromise or settle any claim for compensation.  All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and the right thereto are hereby assigned by Mortgagor to Lender, and Lender is authorized, at its option, to collect and receive all such compensation, awards or damages and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor without any obligation to question the amount of any such compensation, awards or damages.  After deducting from said condemnation proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including reasonable attorney’s fees, Lender may release any moneys so received by it for the repair or restoration of the Collateral taken, or may apply the same in such manner as the Lender shall reasonably determine to reduce the Loan Obligations in such order as Lender may elect, whether or not then due, and without affecting this Mortgage as security for any remaining Loan Obligations, and any balance of such moneys shall be paid to the Mortgagor.

 

Section 2.6                                     Care of Collateral .

 

(a)                                                                                  Mortgagor will keep the Improvements in good condition and repair ordinary wear and tear excepted, will not commit or suffer any waste and will not do or suffer to be done anything which would reasonably be expected to increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Collateral or any other part thereof or which would or could result in the cancellation of any insurance policy carried with respect to the Collateral.

 

10



 

(b)                                                                                  Except in connection with the repair or replacement of the Facility after damage thereto or destruction or condemnation thereof, Mortgagor will not remove, demolish or alter the structural character of any Improvements in any material respect without the written consent of Lender, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor will Mortgagor make or permit use of the Collateral for any purpose other than that for which the same are now used.

 

(c)                                                                                   Mortgagor will maintain the insurance relating to Mortgagor or the Collateral as required by the Loan Agreement.  If the Collateral or any part thereof is damaged by fire or any other cause, Mortgagor will give immediate written notice thereof to Lender.

 

(d)                                                                                  Lender or its representative is hereby authorized to enter upon and inspect the Collateral during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to Mortgagor.

 

(e)                                                                                   Mortgagor will promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental authority affecting the Collateral or any part thereof; provided, however, Mortgagor shall have the right to contest the application of such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations to Mortgagor provided such contest does not impair the validity of Lender’s lien on the Collateral or present a risk of forfeiture of the Collateral.

 

(f)                                                                                    If all or any part of the Collateral shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Mortgagor will promptly restore the Collateral to the equivalent of its original condition in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Loan Agreement (or, if Mortgagor chooses not to rebuild the Facility or is unable to satisfy the conditions of Section 4.5 of the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor shall pay to Lender in full an amount sufficient to obtain a release of the Property and Improvements pursuant to the Loan Agreement); and if a part of the Collateral shall be taken or damaged through condemnation, Mortgagor will promptly restore, repair or alter the remaining portions of the Collateral in a manner satisfactory to Lender.

 

Section 2.7                                     Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property .   At any time, and from time to time, upon request by Lender, Mortgagor will make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered to Lender and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be rerecorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be requested by Lender such certificates, documents, statements, amendments and other instruments and/or filings (i) to perfect and protect the security interest created or purported to be created hereby; (ii) to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral; or (iii) to effect otherwise the purposes of this Mortgage, including, without limitation: (A) executing and filing such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that the Lender may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest created by this Mortgage as a first and prior security interest upon and security title in and to all of the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Mortgagor; provided, however, Mortgagor authorizes Lender to file any financing statements describing the Collateral in such

 

11



 

jurisdictions and filing offices as Lender deems appropriate without the necessity of Mortgagor’s signature; (B) if certificates of title are now or hereafter issued or outstanding with respect to any of the Collateral, by immediately causing the interest of Lender to be properly noted thereon at Mortgagor’s expense; and (C) furnishing to the Lender from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.  Upon any failure by Mortgagor so to do, Lender may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile any and all such financing statements, continuation statements, or amendments thereto, certificates, and documents for and in the name of Mortgagor, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor so to do.  The lien of this Mortgage will automatically attach, without further act, to all after-acquired property attached to and/or used in the operation of the Collateral or any part thereof.

 

Section 2.8                                     Indemnity; Expenses .   Mortgagor will pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in any suit, action, trial, appeal, review, bankruptcy (including issues particular to bankruptcy) or other legal proceeding or dispute of any kind in which Lender is made a party or appears as party plaintiff or defendant, affecting the Loan Obligations, this Mortgage or the interest created herein, or the Collateral, or any appeal thereof, including, but not limited to, any foreclosure action, any condemnation action involving the Collateral or any action to protect the security hereof, any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding commenced by or against the Mortgagor, any lessee of the Collateral (or any part thereof), or any guarantor of any of the Loan Obligations, and including, without limitation, reasonable costs of title searches, appraisals, environmental reports and expert witness fees, and any such amounts paid by Lender shall be added to the Loan Obligations and shall be secured by this Mortgage.  Mortgagor will indemnify, reimburse and hold Lender harmless for, from and against all claims, actions, losses, damages, costs, expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs, and other liabilities of every description related to or resulting from any action by a third party against Lender relating to this Mortgage or any interest created herein, or the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any action or proceeding claiming loss, damage or injury to person or property, or any action or proceeding claiming a violation of any national, state or local law, rule or regulation, including those Applicable Environmental Laws, including such matters to the extent caused in whole or part by Lender’s or its agent’s conduct or negligence; provided Mortgagor shall not be required to indemnify Lender for matters directly and solely caused by Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

Section 2.9                                     Assignment of Rents .   All Rents are hereby assigned to Lender to be applied against the Loan Obligations secured by this Mortgage in such order as Lender may elect; provided, however, that a revocable license is hereby given to Mortgagor (subject to the requirement that Lender approve any lease other than leases with residents of the Improvements), unless and until the breach of any covenant or condition of this Mortgage which is not cured within any applicable cure period or the occurrence of any Event of Default, to collect and use such Rents as they become due and payable, but not in advance thereof. This Mortgage constitutes an absolute and present assignment of the Rents, subject, however, to the conditional and revocable license given to Mortgagor to collect and use the same as provided hereinabove.

 

12



 

The foregoing assignment shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party, and specifically, Lender shall be entitled, at its option upon the breach of any covenant or condition of this Mortgage which is not cured within any applicable cure period or the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, to collect all such Rents whether or not Lender takes possession of the Property.  Exercise by Lender of its rights under this Section, and the application of any such Rents to such Loan Obligations shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of Event of Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.  Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, further assign the Rents that are assigned to Lender herein, and any such assignment without the express written consent of Lender shall be void as against Lender (except that assignment of Accounts shall be permitted to the extent provided in the Loan Agreement).

 

Section 2.10                              Estoppel Affidavits .   Mortgagor, upon ten (10) days prior written notice from Lender, shall furnish Lender a written statement, duly acknowledged, based upon its records, setting forth the unpaid principal of, and interest on, the Loan Obligations, stating whether or not to its knowledge any offsets or defenses exist against the Loan Obligations, or any portion thereof, and, if such offsets or defenses exist, stating in detail the specific facts relating to each such offset or defense.

 

Section 2.11                              Leases.   Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent and approval of Lender, enter into any lease or permit any tenancy (except for the Lease and those other leases permitted by the terms of the Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, tenancy or residency agreements with patients or residents of individual units at the Facility), or enter into or permit any management agreement, of or affecting the Collateral, except as expressly permitted in the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 2.12                              Limit of Validity .  If from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto , the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Mortgage, the Note, or any other Loan Document that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity.  The provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Mortgage, the Note and any other Loan Document.

 

Section 2.13                              Compliance with Other Deeds of Trust .   To the extent there at any time exists any other deed of trust, mortgage or security agreement encumbering all or any part of the Collateral (“Other Mortgage Debt”) (a) the same is expressly permitted so long as, but only if,  it is shown as a “Permitted Encumbrance” on Exhibit B hereto or is otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement, and (b) Mortgagor will perform, observe and comply with the same and with all related documents and instruments when due or within any applicable cure period and will maintain the same free from default and not obtain additional advances or increase the

 

13



 

principal amount secured thereby without Lender’s prior written consent.  If a default thereunder should occur or an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the same or to advance such additional amounts as are necessary to protect the Lender’s interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, payment in full of all debts and other obligations if and to the extent Lender deems necessary to prevent foreclosure or sale of all or any part of the Collateral or purchase such Other Mortgage Debt.  All amounts so advanced by Lender shall constitute Loan Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced until repaid in full, such advance and interest shall be secured by this Mortgage, and such advance and interest shall be immediately due and payable.

 

ARTICLE III

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

 

Section 3.1                                     Events of Default .   The terms “Event of Default” or “Events of Default,” wherever used in this Mortgage, shall mean any one or more of the following events:

 

(a)                                                                                  The occurrence of any Event of Default (as therein defined) under any other Loan Documents; or

 

(b)                                                                                  The sale, transfer, lease, assignment, or other disposition, voluntarily or involuntarily, of the Collateral, or any part thereof or any interest therein, including a sale or transfer in lieu of condemnation, or, except for Permitted Encumbrances, any further encumbrance of the Collateral, unless expressly permitted or required by the Loan Agreement or unless the prior written consent of Lender is obtained (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or granted with or without cause in Lender’s sole and unfettered discretion) or unless such disposition is of any of the Equipment or Inventory which has become worn out or obsolete provided the same is replaced with property of similar value and of a similar quality if and to the extent such worn out or obsolete Equipment is required for the continued lawful operation of the Facility.

 

Section 3.2                                     Acceleration of Maturity .   If an Event of Default shall exist, then the entire Loan Obligations shall, at the option of Lender, immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, time being of the essence of this Mortgage, and no omission on the part of Lender to exercise such option when entitled to do so shall be construed as a waiver of such right; provided, however, if a Bankruptcy Default occurs, then all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically without any election by the Lender.

 

Section 3.3                                     Right to Enter and Take Possession .

 

(a)                                                                                  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor, upon demand of Lender, shall forthwith surrender to Lender the actual possession of the Collateral and, if and to the extent permitted by law, Lender itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all or any part of the Collateral without the appointment of a receiver or an application therefor, and may exclude Mortgagor and

 

14



 

its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and take possession of the books, papers and accounts of Mortgagor to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(b)                                                                                  If Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Collateral or any part thereof after such demand by Lender, Lender may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Lender the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of the Collateral to Lender.  Mortgagor will pay to Lender, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including compensation to Lender, its attorneys and agents, and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, become part of the Loan Obligations and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

 

(c)                                                                                   Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Lender may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Collateral and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time (i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property; (ii) insure or keep the Collateral insured; (iii) manage and operate the Collateral and exercise all of the rights and powers of Mortgagor to the same extent as Mortgagor could in its own name or otherwise act with respect to the same; and (iv) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to Lender, all as Lender from time to time may determine to be in its best interest. Lender may collect and receive all the rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Collateral, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (A) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Collateral (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes); (B) the cost of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions; (C) the cost of such insurance; (D) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Lender may at its option pay; (E) other proper charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof; and (F) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of Lender, Lender shall apply the remainder of the monies and proceeds so received by Lender, first, to the payment of accrued interest; second, to the payment of any deposits for taxes and insurance required in this Mortgage and to other sums required to be paid hereunder; and third, to the payment of overdue installments of principal and any other unpaid Loan Obligations then due.  Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender shall not be obligated to discharge or perform the duties of a landlord to any tenant except to the extent Lender has agreed to assume such duties under the terms of any applicable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement or, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, incur any liability as a result of any exercise by Lender of its rights under this Mortgage, and, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall be liable to account only for the rents, incomes, issues and profits actually received by Lender.

 

(d)                                                                                  If an Event of Default shall exist, Lender may require that Mortgagor cause all of its Accounts and Rents to be paid to one or more deposit accounts with Lender, or at Lender’s option, with another financial institution approved by Lender.  To the extent allowed by applicable law, Mortgagor assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in,

 

15



 

pledge of and right of setoff against all moneys from time to time held in such deposit accounts.  Mortgagor agrees to promptly notify all of its account debtors and tenants, including all third-party payors pursuant to any Reimbursement Contracts then in effect, to make payments to one or more such deposit accounts upon Lender’s request and as designated by Lender, and Mortgagor agrees to provide any necessary endorsements to checks, drafts and other forms of payment so that such payments will be properly deposited in such accounts.  Lender may require that the deposit accounts be established so as to comply with any applicable Reimbursement Contracts and other legal requirements, if any, applicable to payments of any accounts receivable.  Lender may cause moneys to be withdrawn from such deposit accounts and applied to the Loan Obligations in such order as Lender may elect, whether or not then due subject to applicable law and the applicable Reimbursement Contract.  Mortgagor appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, to provide any notice, endorse any check, draft or other payment for deposit, or take any other action which Mortgagor agrees to take in this Section.  Lender shall not be liable for failure to collect any Accounts or Rents, or to enforce the contracts or leases pursuant to which such Accounts or Rents are payable, or for any action or omission on the part of Lender, its officers, agents and employees in collecting or enforcing such Accounts, Rents, contracts or leases.

 

Section 3.4                                     Performance by Lender .   Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of this Mortgage, Lender may, at its option, pay, perform or observe the same, and all reasonable payments made or reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, with interest thereon at the Default Rate or at the maximum rate from time to time allowed by applicable law, whichever is less, shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Lender.  Lender shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid.  Lender is hereby empowered and authorized to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Collateral or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor or any person in possession holding under Mortgagor absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lender shall have no obligation, explicit or implied, to pay, perform, or observe any such term, covenant, or condition.

 

Section 3.5                                     Receiver .   If any Event of Default shall exist, Lender, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to the extent allowed by applicable law, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right, without regard to the sufficiency or value of any security for the Loan Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Collateral and to collect and apply the rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof.  The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state wherein the Property is situated.  Mortgagor will pay unto Lender upon demand all reasonable expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorney’s fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section, and upon any Mortgagor’s

 

16



 

failure to pay the same, any such amounts shall be added to the Loan Obligations and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

 

Section 3.6                                     Enforcement .

 

(a)                                                                                  If an Event of Default exists, Lender may foreclose this Mortgage by the exercise of the power of sale or by judicial foreclosure.  In lieu of or in addition to foreclosure, Lender may obtain any other legal or equitable remedy.  Mortgagor confers on and grants to Lender the power to sell the Property and Improvements in the manner provided in the “Oklahoma Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act.”  The Lender shall have the following options in foreclosing upon the Collateral:

 

(i)                                                                                      In the event of any sale under this Mortgage by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceedings or otherwise, the Collateral may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its sole discretion may elect, and if Lender so elects, Lender or Lender may sell the personal property covered by this Mortgage at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire Collateral is sold or the Loan Obligations are paid in full.  If the Loan Obligations are now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of leases or other security instruments, Lender at its option may exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments or this Mortgage in such order as Lender may determine consistent with applicable law.  Said sale may be adjourned by the Lender, or his agent or successors, and reset at a later date consistent with applicable law without additional publication (except as may be required by applicable law); provided that an announcement to that effect be made at the scheduled place of sale at the time and on the date the sale is originally set.

 

(ii)                                                                                   To the extent permitted by applicable law, sale of a part of the Collateral shall not exhaust the power of sale until the Loan Obligations are paid and performed in full.  It shall not be necessary to have present or to exhibit at any such sale any of the Collateral.

 

It is intended by each of the foregoing provisions of this subsection that Lender may sell not only the Property but also the other Collateral, or any part thereof, along with the Property, or any part thereof, all as a unit and as a part of the single sale, or may sell any part of the Collateral separately from the remainder of the Collateral.

 

(b)                                                                                  If an Event of Default shall exist, Lender may, in addition to and not in abrogation of the rights covered under subsection (a) of this Section, either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in

 

17



 

equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce payment of the Loan Obligations or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Mortgage or any other right, (ii) to foreclose this Mortgage and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Collateral, as provided by applicable law, and (iii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Lender in its sole discretion shall elect.

 

(c)                                                                                   After notification, if any, as hereafter provided in this subsection, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of (herein, a “disposition”), at the office of Lender, or on the Property, or elsewhere, as chosen by Lender, all or any part of the Inventory and Equipment, in their then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, and each disposition may be as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts, and, at any disposition, it shall not be necessary to have present or exhibit the Inventory and Equipment, or any part thereof being sold.  The disposition of any part of the Inventory and Equipment shall not exhaust Lender’s power of disposition, but dispositions may be made from time to time until the Loan Obligations are paid and performed in full.  Reasonable notification of the time and place of any public disposition pursuant to this subsection, or reasonable notification of the time after which any private disposition is to be made pursuant to this subsection, shall be sent to Mortgagor and to any other person entitled to receive notice under the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State of Oklahoma or other applicable jurisdiction.  It is agreed that notice sent or given not less than ten calendar days prior to the taking of the action to which the notice relates is reasonable notification for the purposes of this subsection.

 

(d)                                                                                  In the event a foreclosure hereunder should be commenced by Lender in accordance with the powers of sale granted in this Mortgage, Lender may at any time before the sale, orally or in writing, delay or abandon the sale, and may upon abandonment institute suit for the collection of the Loan Obligations, and/or for the foreclosure of the liens hereof.  If Lender should institute a suit for the collection of the Loan Obligations, and/or for a foreclosure of the liens hereof, Lender may at any time before the entry of a final judgment in such suit dismiss such suit (either totally or as to the counts thereof for judicial foreclosure), and sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage.

 

Section 3.7                                     Purchase by Lender .   Upon any foreclosure sale or sale of all or any portion of the Collateral under the power herein granted, Lender may bid for and purchase the Collateral and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Loan Obligations as a credit to the purchase price.

 

Section 3.8                                     Application of Proceeds of Sale .   In the event of a foreclosure or other sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, first, to the reasonable expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable fees of the attorney (and attorney fees and expenses shall become absolutely due and payable whenever foreclosure is commenced); then to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges including utility charges advanced by Lender, and interest thereon; then to payment of the Note and accrued interest thereon, and all other Loan Obligations, all in such

 

18



 

order of priority as Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion; and finally the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Mortgagor, or to the person or entity lawfully entitled thereto.

 

Section 3.9                                     Mortgagor as Tenant Holding Over .   In the event of any such foreclosure sale or sale under the powers herein granted, Mortgagor (if Mortgagor shall remain in possession) 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.

 

Section 3.10                              Waiver of Appraisement .   Appraisement of the Property and Improvements is hereby waived, or not, at the option of Lender, which option Lender shall exercise at or prior to the time judgment is rendered in any judicial foreclosure.

 

Section 3.11                              Discontinuance of Proceedings .   In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case, Mortgagor and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred.

 

Section 3.12                              Remedies Cumulative .   No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender by this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.

 

Section 3.13                              No Waiver; Waivers .

 

(a)                                                                                  No delay or omission by Lender or by any holder of the Note to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default, or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Mortgage to Lender may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender.  No consent or waiver expressed or implied by Lender to or of any breach or default by Mortgagor in the performance of the obligations of Mortgagor hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Mortgagor hereunder.  Failure on the part of Lender to complain of any act or failure to act or failure to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder.

 

(b)                                                                                  No act or omission by Lender shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the original liability under the Note or this Mortgage or any other obligation of either Borrower or any subsequent purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any maker, cosigner, endorser, surety or guarantor, nor preclude Lender from exercising any

 

19



 

right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any default then existing or of any subsequent default, nor alter the lien of this Mortgage, except as expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Lender.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may: (i) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of all or any portion of the Loan Obligations; (ii) take other or additional security for the payment of any of the Loan Obligations; (iii) waive or fail to exercise any right granted herein or in the Note; (iv) release any part of the Collateral from the security interest or lien of this Mortgage or otherwise change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Note or this Mortgage; (v) consent to the filing of any map, plat or replat affecting the Collateral; (vi) consent to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Collateral; (vii) make or consent to any agreement subordinating the security title or lien hereof, or (viii) with the consent of Mortgagor modify, amend or increase the Note or the Loan Obligations hereby secured or take or omit to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Note, this Mortgage, the Collateral, the Loan Documents or Loan Obligations, all without releasing, discharging, modifying, changing or affecting any such liability, or precluding Lender from exercising any such right, power or privilege or affecting the lien of this Mortgage (except for any subordination of the lien expressly granted pursuant to (vii) above).  In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Collateral, Lender, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Collateral or the Loan Obligations, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

 

(c)                                                                                   Mortgagor waives:

 

i.                                           Any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of Borrower from any cause other than full payment and performance of all of the Loan Obligations;

 

ii.                                        Any defense based upon the application by Borrower of the proceeds of any credit extended to Borrower by Lender for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrower or intended or understood by Lender or Mortgagor;

 

iii.                                     Any defense based upon Lender’s election of any remedy against Mortgagor or Borrower and the consequent loss by Mortgagor of the right to recover any deficiency from Borrower;

 

iv.                                    Any defense based upon any statute or rule of law that provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome that than of a principal;

 

20



 

v.                                       The benefit of 12 Okla. Stat. § 686 and 15 Okla. Stat. §§ 334, 335, 338, 340, 341, 379, 383, and 384 and any amendments or replacements of those statutes.

 

Section 3.14                              Suits to Protect the Collateral .   In the event of the failure by Mortgagor to take any of actions provided for herein, Lender shall have power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may reasonably deem expedient (a) to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or constitute a default under this Mortgage; (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Collateral and in the rents, issues, profits and revenues arising therefrom; and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would materially impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Lender.

 

Section 3.15                              Proofs of Claim .   In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Mortgagor, its creditors or its property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Mortgagor under this Mortgage at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Mortgagor hereunder after such date.

 

Section 3.16                              Tradenames, etc .   During the exercise of any right in the Collateral pursuant to this Article III, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be liable to Mortgagor for any inadvertent violation or infringement upon any trade name, trademark, service mark, or logo relating to the Collateral, and Mortgagor waives any claim for any such violation or infringement that occurs prior to written notice of such infringement by Mortgagor to Lender.

 

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.7                                     Limitation of Interest .   It is the intent of Mortgagor and Lender in the execution of this Mortgage and all other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with the usury laws governing the Loan Obligations.  In furtherance thereof, Lender and Mortgagor stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance, or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by the laws governing the Loan Obligations.  Mortgagor or any guarantor, endorser or other party

 

22



 

now or hereafter becoming liable for the payment of the Loan or other amounts due to Lender shall never be liable for unearned interest on the Loan or other amounts due to Lender and shall never be required to pay interest on the Loan or other amounts due to Lender at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under the laws governing the Loan Obligations, and the provisions of this paragraph shall control over all other provisions of the Note and other Loan Documents and any other instrument executed in connection therewith which may be in apparent conflict herewith.  In the event Lender shall collect monies that are deemed to constitute interest and that would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on the Loan Obligations or other amounts due to Lender to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by the laws governing the Loan Obligations, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of the legal rate shall be applied to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Obligation and if in excess of such balance, shall be immediately returned to the Mortgagor upon such determination.

 

Section 4.8                                     Notices, etc/Lender’s Consent .   All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and be given and deemed received in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.  Except where this Mortgage or the other instruments relating to the Loan Obligations expressly provides otherwise, wherever Lender’s consent or approval is called for, Lender shall not unreasonably condition or withhold such approval or consent.

 

Section 4.9                                     Assignment .   This Mortgage is assignable by Lender and any assignment hereof by Lender shall operate to vest in the assignee all rights and powers herein conferred upon and granted to Lender.  This Mortgage may not be assigned by Mortgagor.

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE

 

THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE (this “ Guaranty ”) made as of August 17, 2012, by ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. , an Ohio corporation (the “ Guarantor ”) in favor of CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE FUND I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “ Lender ”).

 

R E C I T A L S :

 

Pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated the date hereof (as the same may hereafter be amended, the “ Loan Agreement ”) between CSCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company, and CSCC NURSING, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (collectively, the “ Borrowers ”) and Lender, Lender agreed to make a loan to the Borrowers in the principal amount of up to Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($600,000.00) (the “ Loan ”). As one of the conditions for the Loan, Lender required that the Guarantor guarantee the Loan Obligations (as hereinafter defined), now existing or hereafter incurred, owing to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.  Guarantor is the parent entity of the Borrowers and will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Loan, which benefits, among others, provide adequate consideration for them to enter into this Guaranty.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, and in order to induce the Lender to continue to make the Loan, and as security for the Loan Obligations, Guarantor agrees and covenants with Lender and represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

 

1.                                       Guarantee of Loan Obligations .   The Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally with Borrowers and any other, guarantor of the Loan guarantees to the Lender the following (collectively, the “ Loan Obligations ”) (a) the due, regular, and punctual payment of the principal (including capitalized interest that is added to principal), interest, fees, premiums, expenses, and other charges pursuant to the Note executed by the Borrowers evidencing the Loan, as the same may hereafter be extended, renewed, modified, or amended (the “ Note ”), (b) the payment of all fees, premiums, expenses, charges, and other amounts from time to time owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, and (c) the performance of all covenants, agreements, and other obligations from time to time owing to, or for the benefit of, Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents; (d) upon the failure of the Borrowers timely to pay or perform any of the foregoing Loan Obligations as provided in the Loan Documents, the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in paying or performing such Loan Obligations (but Lender shall not be required to pay or perform such Loan Obligations); and (e) all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses that may be incurred by the Lender by

 

1



 

reason of an Event of Default as provided in the Loan Documents, including reasonable fees and expenses in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings.

 

Upon any Event of Default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, the Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender such amounts as are necessary to cure the Event of Default, or at the option of the Lender in the event Lender has elected to accelerate the Loan Obligations as a result thereof, the Guarantor agrees to pay the outstanding Loan Obligations in full.

 

This Guaranty is unconditional except as expressly set forth herein, and the Guarantor agrees that the Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be required to assert any claim or cause of action against the Borrowers before asserting any claim or cause of action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.  The Guarantor further agrees that the Lender shall not be required to pursue or foreclose on any Collateral that it may receive from the Borrowers, any guarantor, or others as security for any of the Loan Obligations before making a claim or asserting a cause of action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

The failure of the Lender to perfect its security interest in any of the Collateral as set forth in any of the Loan Documents or any other collateral now or hereafter securing all or any part of the Loan Obligations shall not release the Guarantor from its liabilities and obligations hereunder.

 

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any Default or Event of Default is hereby waived by the Guarantor, except to the extent notice is otherwise expressly required by the Loan Documents.  Presentment, protest, demand, and notice of protest and demand, and notice of receipt of any and all Collateral, and of the exercise of possessory remedies or foreclosure on any and all Collateral received by the Lender from the Borrowers or the Guarantor are hereby waived.  To the extent any Collateral from time to time consists of accounts owing to Borrowers, all settlements, compromises, compositions, accounts stated, and agreed balances in good faith between any primary or secondary obligors on any such accounts shall be binding upon the Guarantor.  With respect to the amounts now or hereafter due under this Guaranty, the Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights of exemption of property from levy or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts under the laws or Constitution of the United States or any state thereof.

 

This Guaranty shall not be affected, modified, or impaired by the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangements, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrowers or any guarantor, or any of the assets belonging to any of them, nor shall this Guaranty be affected, modified, or impaired by the invalidity of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

2



 

Without notice to the Guarantor, without the consent of the Guarantor, and without affecting or limiting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Lender may:

 

(a)                                  grant the Borrowers extensions of time for payment of the Loan Obligations or any part hereof;

 

(b)                                  renew any of the Loan Obligations;

 

(c)                                   grant the Borrowers extensions of time for performance of agreements or other indulgences;

 

(d)                                  at any time release any or all of the Collateral, or any mortgage, deed of trust, or security interest in any Collateral, that now or hereafter secures any of the Loan Obligations;

 

(e)                                   compromise, settle, release, or terminate any or all of the obligations, covenants, or agreements of the Borrowers under the Note or other Loan Documents;

 

(f)                                    at any time release any one or more other guarantors from their guarantees of any of the Loan Obligations; and

 

(g)                                   modify or amend any obligation, covenant, or agreement of the Borrowers as set forth in the Note or any of the other Loan Documents (and such amendments shall nevertheless be binding upon the Guarantor); provided no increase in the principal amount of the Loan will be binding upon the Guarantor unless it has consented to such increase unless such increase is made pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Loan Agreement.

 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any whole or partial payment or performance of any Loan Obligations is or is sought to be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any guarantor upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any guarantor of or for any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments and performance had not been made and as though this Guaranty had not expired or been terminated.  This Guaranty shall not be affected in any way by the transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral described in and granted to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

2.                                       Representations and Warranties of the Guarantor .   To induce the Lender to make the Loan to Borrowers, Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:

(c)                                   Conflicts .   This Guaranty does not violate, conflict with, or constitute any default under the operating agreement of Guarantor or any decree, or judgment by which Guarantor is bound or affected, and to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, does not constitute a material violation of any agreement or instrument binding upon Guarantor.

 

(d)                                  Pending Matters .   No action or investigation is pending or, to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened before or by any state or federal court or administrative agency which would reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the financial condition, operations, or prospects of Guarantor.  Guarantor is not in violation of any agreement, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Guarantor’s business or assets, and Guarantor is not in violation of any order, judgment, or decree of any state or federal court or administrative agency by which Guarantor is bound or affected.

 

(e)                                   Financial Statements Accurate .   All financial statements heretofore or hereafter provided by the Guarantor are or will, at the time of the delivery thereof be, true and complete in all material respects as of their respective dates and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor, and there are no known liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, as of the respective dates of such statements which are not or will not, at the time of the delivery thereof, be reflected therein or in the notes thereto or in a written certificate delivered with such statements.  There has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations, or prospects of Guarantor since the dates of such statements except as fully disclosed in writing with the delivery of such statements.

 

(f)                                    No Defaults or Restrictions .   Guarantor is not in default under any agreement or instrument that causes or would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, and financial operations or condition of Guarantor.

(h)                                  Disclosure .   Neither this Guaranty nor any other document, financial statement, credit information, certificate, or statement required herein or otherwise furnished to Lender by Guarantor in connection with the Loan or this Guaranty contains any untrue, incorrect,

 

4



 

or misleading statement of material fact.  All representations and warranties made herein or any certificate or other document delivered to Lender by or on behalf of Guarantor pursuant to or in connection with this Guaranty shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf, and shall survive the delivery of this Guaranty.

 

(i)                                      ERISA .   Guarantor is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ ERISA ”).

 

3.                                       Affirmative Covenants of the Guarantor Guarantor covenants and agrees that so long as the Loan Obligations are outstanding, Guarantor shall comply with each of the following affirmative covenants:

(d)                                  Payment of Indebtedness .   Pay or cause to be paid duly and punctually all principal and interest of any material Indebtedness of the Guarantor to its creditors, and comply with and perform all conditions, terms, and obligations of the notes or other instruments evidencing such indebtedness and any mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, and other instruments evidencing or securing such indebtedness.  Without limiting anything herein, “material” Indebtedness shall include, without limitation, any Indebtedness which is secured by or becomes subject to any Lien.  Guarantor may contest any Indebtedness in good faith and shall not be in violation of this covenant during the period of any such contest provided that execution against any property of the Guarantor must have been effectively stayed and reserves adequate for payment must have been established.

 

(e)                                   Notice of Loss .   Notify Lender of any event causing a loss or reduction in value of the Guarantor’s assets which has a material adverse effect on the Guarantor’s net worth.

4.                                       Negative Covenants of the Guarantor .   Except as permitted by the Loan Agreement, so long as any of the Loan Obligations are outstanding, Guarantor agrees that it shall not, without Lender’s prior written approval:

 

(a)                                  Change in Business .  Make any material change in the nature of its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations pursuant to this Guaranty.

 

(b)                                  Changes in Accounting .   Change its method of accounting to one inconsistent with the method heretofore used by Guarantor.

 

(c)                                   Consolidation or Transfer of Substantially all of its Assets .   Enter into any merger, consolidation, or similar transaction with any entity other than Borrowers or any other subsidiary of Borrowers which is a guarantor of the Loan, or sell, assign, lease, or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now or hereafter acquired) other than to Borrowers or any other subsidiary of Borrowers which is a guarantor of the Loan or unless any such disposition is of property other than the Collateral and is in the ordinary course of business for a full and fair consideration and does not violate any covenant of the Loan Agreement.

 

(d)                                  ERISA Funding and Termination .   Permit the funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee plan of Guarantor to be less than the minimum required by ERISA at any time, or any employee plan of Guarantor to be subject to involuntary termination proceedings at any time.

 

(e)                                   Transfer of Ownership Interests .   Permit any transfer of the ownership interests or stock of Guarantor or change in management of Guarantor that would violate any covenant of the Loan Agreement.

 

5.                                       Events of Default .   Guarantor’s violation of any covenant set forth in Section 4 hereof, or Guarantor’s failure to properly and timely perform or observe any covenant or condition set forth in this Guaranty (other than those in Section 4 ) which is not cured within any applicable cure period as set forth herein or, if no cure period is specified therefor, which is not cured within thirty (30) days of Lender’s notice to Guarantor of such default (provided such cure period shall be extended an additional sixty (60) days if Guarantor commences a cure within such initial thirty (30) days, provides evidence thereof to Lender and diligently pursues a cure), or the falsity in any material respect of any representation or warranty herein or in any financial statement, certificate, or other information heretofore or hereafter provided by Guarantor to Lender, shall constitute an “ Event of Default ” hereunder and under each of the Loan Documents.  The foregoing provision or any other provision requiring or providing for notice or demand from Lender is deemed eliminated if Lender is prevented from giving such notice or

 

6



 

demand by bankruptcy or other applicable law, and the Event of Default shall occur upon the occurrence of such event or condition if not cured within any applicable period measured from the occurrence of such event or condition rather than from notice or demand.

 

6.                                       Waiver and Subordination . Guarantor expressly waives any right to payment arising by virtue of any subrogation or indemnification upon payment by Guarantor of amounts due from Borrowers to Lender, and Guarantor expressly subordinates any other rights to payment of indebtedness owing from Borrowers to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the prior right of Lender to receive or require payment in full of the Loan Obligations, until such time as the Loan Obligations are fully paid (including interest accruing on the Note after any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, which post-petition interest Guarantor agrees shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom, or ruling in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code generally) and such payments are final and not subject to refund or rescission under bankruptcy or other applicable law.  Furthermore, so long as an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrowers to the Guarantor or any security for such indebtedness until such time as the Loan Obligations are fully paid.  If Guarantor should receive any such payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of Borrowers to the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees to deliver the same promptly to Lender in the form received, endorsed, or assigned as may be appropriate for application on account of, or as security for, the Loan Obligations and until so delivered, agrees to hold the same in trust for Lender.

 

7.                                       Successors and Assigns .   This Guaranty shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

8.                                       Transfer of Rights under the Guaranty and the Loan Documents .

 

(a)                                  Transfer by Lender .  Subject to any limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement, Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign any of the Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “ Securities ”) to any affiliate of Lender or to the Small Business Administration. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such Securities or any credit rating agency rating such Securities (the foregoing entities hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Investor ”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to Guarantor, whether furnished by Borrowers, Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.  Guarantor agrees, upon request of Lender, to cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Section 8(a) provided there is no material financial or other burden to Guarantor of doing so and provided such cooperation does not require an amendment to this Guaranty which would in any manner increase the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.  Guarantor shall also furnish and Guarantor hereby consents, subject to Lender’s obligations hereunder, to Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective

 

7



 

Investors any and all information concerning the financial condition of Guarantor as provided for in this Section 8(a) in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender delivers any such information to a prospective Investor, Lender will notify Guarantor to such effect.

 

(b)                                  Transfer by Guarantor .  Without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, Guarantor may not, at any time, sell, transfer or assign this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or any of the Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or is otherwise a guarantor, and any or all rights or obligations with respect thereto.

 

9.                                       Severability .   In the event that any provision hereof is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court, this Guaranty shall be construed as not containing such provision, and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect other provisions hereof which are otherwise lawful and valid and shall remain in full force and effect.

 

10.                                Notices .   Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Guaranty or by applicable law shall be in writing and shall be deemed received (a) on the date delivered if delivered in person to the person or department specified below, (b) three (3) days after the date deposited in the U.S. Mail, certified or registered, with return receipt requested, or (c) one (1) day following the date deposited with Federal Express or other national overnight carrier, and, in each case, shall be addressed as follows: If to Borrowers:

Exhibit 10.19

 

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE

 

THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE (this “ Guaranty ”) made as of August 17, 2012, by ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. , an Ohio corporation (the “ Guarantor ”) in favor of CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE FUND I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “ Lender ”).

 

R E C I T A L S :

 

Pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated the date hereof (as the same may hereafter be amended, the “ Loan Agreement ”) between CSCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company, and CSCC NURSING, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (collectively, the “ Borrowers ”) and Lender, Lender agreed to make a loan to the Borrowers in the principal amount of up to Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($600,000.00) (the “ Loan ”). As one of the conditions for the Loan, Lender required that the Guarantor guarantee the Loan Obligations (as hereinafter defined), now existing or hereafter incurred, owing to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.  Guarantor is the parent entity of the Borrowers and will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Loan, which benefits, among others, provide adequate consideration for them to enter into this Guaranty.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, and in order to induce the Lender to continue to make the Loan, and as security for the Loan Obligations, Guarantor agrees and covenants with Lender and represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

 

1.                                       Guarantee of Loan Obligations .   The Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally with Borrowers and any other, guarantor of the Loan guarantees to the Lender the following (collectively, the “ Loan Obligations ”) (a) the due, regular, and punctual payment of the principal (including capitalized interest that is added to principal), interest, fees, premiums, expenses, and other charges pursuant to the Note executed by the Borrowers evidencing the Loan, as the same may hereafter be extended, renewed, modified, or amended (the “ Note ”), (b) the payment of all fees, premiums, expenses, charges, and other amounts from time to time owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, and (c) the performance of all covenants, agreements, and other obligations from time to time owing to, or for the benefit of, Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents; (d) upon the failure of the Borrowers timely to pay or perform any of the foregoing Loan Obligations as provided in the Loan Documents, the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in paying or performing such Loan Obligations (but Lender shall not be required to pay or perform such Loan Obligations); and (e) all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses that may be incurred by the Lender by

 

1



 

reason of an Event of Default as provided in the Loan Documents, including reasonable fees and expenses in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings.

 

Upon any Event of Default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, the Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender such amounts as are necessary to cure the Event of Default, or at the option of the Lender in the event Lender has elected to accelerate the Loan Obligations as a result thereof, the Guarantor agrees to pay the outstanding Loan Obligations in full.

 

This Guaranty is unconditional except as expressly set forth herein, and the Guarantor agrees that the Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be required to assert any claim or cause of action against the Borrowers before asserting any claim or cause of action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.  The Guarantor further agrees that the Lender shall not be required to pursue or foreclose on any Collateral that it may receive from the Borrowers, any guarantor, or others as security for any of the Loan Obligations before making a claim or asserting a cause of action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

The failure of the Lender to perfect its security interest in any of the Collateral as set forth in any of the Loan Documents or any other collateral now or hereafter securing all or any part of the Loan Obligations shall not release the Guarantor from its liabilities and obligations hereunder.

 

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any Default or Event of Default is hereby waived by the Guarantor, except to the extent notice is otherwise expressly required by the Loan Documents.  Presentment, protest, demand, and notice of protest and demand, and notice of receipt of any and all Collateral, and of the exercise of possessory remedies or foreclosure on any and all Collateral received by the Lender from the Borrowers or the Guarantor are hereby waived.  To the extent any Collateral from time to time consists of accounts owing to Borrowers, all settlements, compromises, compositions, accounts stated, and agreed balances in good faith between any primary or secondary obligors on any such accounts shall be binding upon the Guarantor.  With respect to the amounts now or hereafter due under this Guaranty, the Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights of exemption of property from levy or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts under the laws or Constitution of the United States or any state thereof.

 

This Guaranty shall not be affected, modified, or impaired by the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangements, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrowers or any guarantor, or any of the assets belonging to any of them, nor shall this Guaranty be affected, modified, or impaired by the invalidity of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

2



 

Without notice to the Guarantor, without the consent of the Guarantor, and without affecting or limiting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Lender may:

 

(a)                                  grant the Borrowers extensions of time for payment of the Loan Obligations or any part hereof;

 

(b)                                  renew any of the Loan Obligations;

 

(c)                                   grant the Borrowers extensions of time for performance of agreements or other indulgences;

 

(d)                                  at any time release any or all of the Collateral, or any mortgage, deed of trust, or security interest in any Collateral, that now or hereafter secures any of the Loan Obligations;

 

(e)                                   compromise, settle, release, or terminate any or all of the obligations, covenants, or agreements of the Borrowers under the Note or other Loan Documents;

 

(f)                                    at any time release any one or more other guarantors from their guarantees of any of the Loan Obligations; and

 

(g)                                   modify or amend any obligation, covenant, or agreement of the Borrowers as set forth in the Note or any of the other Loan Documents (and such amendments shall nevertheless be binding upon the Guarantor); provided no increase in the principal amount of the Loan will be binding upon the Guarantor unless it has consented to such increase unless such increase is made pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Loan Agreement.

 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any whole or partial payment or performance of any Loan Obligations is or is sought to be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any guarantor upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any guarantor of or for any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments and performance had not been made and as though this Guaranty had not expired or been terminated.  This Guaranty shall not be affected in any way by the transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral described in and granted to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

2.                                       Representations and Warranties of the Guarantor .   To induce the Lender to make the Loan to Borrowers, Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:

 

(a)                                  Power to Incur Obligations .  Guarantor has full power and unrestricted right to enter into this Guaranty and to incur the obligations provided for herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Guarantor.

(c)                                   Conflicts .   This Guaranty does not violate, conflict with, or constitute any default under the operating agreement of Guarantor or any decree, or judgment by which Guarantor is bound or affected, and to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, does not constitute a material violation of any agreement or instrument binding upon Guarantor.

 

(d)                                  Pending Matters .   No action or investigation is pending or, to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened before or by any state or federal court or administrative agency which would reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the financial condition, operations, or prospects of Guarantor.  Guarantor is not in violation of any agreement, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Guarantor’s business or assets, and Guarantor is not in violation of any order, judgment, or decree of any state or federal court or administrative agency by which Guarantor is bound or affected.

 

(e)                                   Financial Statements Accurate .   All financial statements heretofore or hereafter provided by the Guarantor are or will, at the time of the delivery thereof be, true and complete in all material respects as of their respective dates and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor, and there are no known liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, as of the respective dates of such statements which are not or will not, at the time of the delivery thereof, be reflected therein or in the notes thereto or in a written certificate delivered with such statements.  There has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations, or prospects of Guarantor since the dates of such statements except as fully disclosed in writing with the delivery of such statements.

 

(f)                                    No Defaults or Restrictions .   Guarantor is not in default under any agreement or instrument that causes or would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, and financial operations or condition of Guarantor.

(h)                                  Disclosure .   Neither this Guaranty nor any other document, financial statement, credit information, certificate, or statement required herein or otherwise furnished to Lender by Guarantor in connection with the Loan or this Guaranty contains any untrue, incorrect,

(d)                                  Payment of Indebtedness .   Pay or cause to be paid duly and punctually all principal and interest of any material Indebtedness of the Guarantor to its creditors, and comply with and perform all conditions, terms, and obligations of the notes or other instruments evidencing such indebtedness and any mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, and other instruments evidencing or securing such indebtedness.  Without limiting anything herein, “material” Indebtedness shall include, without limitation, any Indebtedness which is secured by or becomes subject to any Lien.  Guarantor may contest any Indebtedness in good faith and shall not be in violation of this covenant during the period of any such contest provided that execution against any property of the Guarantor must have been effectively stayed and reserves adequate for payment must have been established.

 

(e)                                   Notice of Loss .   Notify Lender of any event causing a loss or reduction in value of the Guarantor’s assets which has a material adverse effect on the Guarantor’s net worth.

4.                                       Negative Covenants of the Guarantor .   Except as permitted by the Loan Agreement, so long as any of the Loan Obligations are outstanding, Guarantor agrees that it shall not, without Lender’s prior written approval:

 

(a)                                  Change in Business .  Make any material change in the nature of its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations pursuant to this Guaranty.

 

(b)                                  Changes in Accounting .   Change its method of accounting to one inconsistent with the method heretofore used by Guarantor.

 

(c)                                   Consolidation or Transfer of Substantially all of its Assets .   Enter into any merger, consolidation, or similar transaction with any entity other than Borrowers or any other subsidiary of Borrowers which is a guarantor of the Loan, or sell, assign, lease, or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now or hereafter acquired) other than to Borrowers or any other subsidiary of Borrowers which is a guarantor of the Loan or unless any such disposition is of property other than the Collateral and is in the ordinary course of business for a full and fair consideration and does not violate any covenant of the Loan Agreement.

 

(d)                                  ERISA Funding and Termination .   Permit the funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee plan of Guarantor to be less than the minimum required by ERISA at any time, or any employee plan of Guarantor to be subject to involuntary termination proceedings at any time.

 

(e)                                   Transfer of Ownership Interests .   Permit any transfer of the ownership interests or stock of Guarantor or change in management of Guarantor that would violate any covenant of the Loan Agreement.

 

5.                                       Events of Default .   Guarantor’s violation of any covenant set forth in Section 4 hereof, or Guarantor’s failure to properly and timely perform or observe any covenant or condition set forth in this Guaranty (other than those in Section 4 ) which is not cured within any applicable cure period as set forth herein or, if no cure period is specified therefor, which is not cured within thirty (30) days of Lender’s notice to Guarantor of such default (provided such cure period shall be extended an additional sixty (60) days if Guarantor commences a cure within such initial thirty (30) days, provides evidence thereof to Lender and diligently pursues a cure), or the falsity in any material respect of any representation or warranty herein or in any financial statement, certificate, or other information heretofore or hereafter provided by Guarantor to Lender, shall constitute an “ Event of Default ” hereunder and under each of the Loan Documents.  The foregoing provision or any other provision requiring or providing for notice or demand from Lender is deemed eliminated if Lender is prevented from giving such notice or

 

6



 

demand by bankruptcy or other applicable law, and the Event of Default shall occur upon the occurrence of such event or condition if not cured within any applicable period measured from the occurrence of such event or condition rather than from notice or demand.

 

6.                                       Waiver and Subordination . Guarantor expressly waives any right to payment arising by virtue of any subrogation or indemnification upon payment by Guarantor of amounts due from Borrowers to Lender, and Guarantor expressly subordinates any other rights to payment of indebtedness owing from Borrowers to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the prior right of Lender to receive or require payment in full of the Loan Obligations, until such time as the Loan Obligations are fully paid (including interest accruing on the Note after any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, which post-petition interest Guarantor agrees shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom, or ruling in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code generally) and such payments are final and not subject to refund or rescission under bankruptcy or other applicable law.  Furthermore, so long as an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrowers to the Guarantor or any security for such indebtedness until such time as the Loan Obligations are fully paid.  If Guarantor should receive any such payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of Borrowers to the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees to deliver the same promptly to Lender in the form received, endorsed, or assigned as may be appropriate for application on account of, or as security for, the Loan Obligations and until so delivered, agrees to hold the same in trust for Lender.

 

7.                                       Successors and Assigns .   This Guaranty shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

8.                                       Transfer of Rights under the Guaranty and the Loan Documents .

 

(a)                                  Transfer by Lender .  Subject to any limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement, Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign any of the Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “ Securities ”) to any affiliate of Lender or to the Small Business Administration. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such Securities or any credit rating agency rating such Securities (the foregoing entities hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Investor ”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to Guarantor, whether furnished by Borrowers, Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.  Guarantor agrees, upon request of Lender, to cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Section 8(a) provided there is no material financial or other burden to Guarantor of doing so and provided such cooperation does not require an amendment to this Guaranty which would in any manner increase the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.  Guarantor shall also furnish and Guarantor hereby consents, subject to Lender’s obligations hereunder, to Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective

 

7



 

Investors any and all information concerning the financial condition of Guarantor as provided for in this Section 8(a) in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender delivers any such information to a prospective Investor, Lender will notify Guarantor to such effect.

 

(b)                                  Transfer by Guarantor .  Without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, Guarantor may not, at any time, sell, transfer or assign this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or any of the Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or is otherwise a guarantor, and any or all rights or obligations with respect thereto.

 

9.                                       Severability .   In the event that any provision hereof is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court, this Guaranty shall be construed as not containing such provision, and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect other provisions hereof which are otherwise lawful and valid and shall remain in full force and effect.

 

10.                                Notices .   Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Guaranty or by applicable law shall be in writing and shall be deemed received (a) on the date delivered if delivered in person to the person or department specified below, (b) three (3) days after the date deposited in the U.S. Mail, certified or registered, with return receipt requested, or (c) one (1) day following the date deposited with Federal Express or other national overnight carrier, and, in each case, shall be addressed as follows: If to Borrowers:

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE

 

THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE (this “ Guaranty ”) made as of August 17, 2012, by ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. , an Ohio corporation (the “ Guarantor ”) in favor of CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE SENIOR LIEN FUND I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “ Lender ”).

 

R E C I T A L S :

 

Pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated the date hereof (as the same may hereafter be amended, the “ Loan Agreement ”) between CSCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company, and CSCC NURSING, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (collectively, the “ Borrowers ”) and Lender, Lender agreed to make a loan to the Borrowers in the principal amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “ Loan ”). As one of the conditions for the Loan, Lender required that the Guarantor guarantee the Loan Obligations (as hereinafter defined), now existing or hereafter incurred, owing to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.  Guarantor is the parent entity of the Borrowers and will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Loan, which benefits, among others, provide adequate consideration for them to enter into this Guaranty.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, and in order to induce the Lender to continue to make the Loan, and as security for the Loan Obligations, Guarantor agrees and covenants with Lender and represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

 

1.                                       Guarantee of Loan Obligations .   The Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally with Borrowers and any other, guarantor of the Loan guarantees to the Lender the following (collectively, the “ Loan Obligations ”) (a) the due, regular, and punctual payment of the principal (including capitalized interest that is added to principal), interest, fees, premiums, expenses, and other charges pursuant to the Note executed by the Borrowers evidencing the Loan, as the same may hereafter be extended, renewed, modified, or amended (the “ Note ”), (b) the payment of all fees, premiums, expenses, charges, and other amounts from time to time owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, and (c) the performance of all covenants, agreements, and other obligations from time to time owing to, or for the benefit of, Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents; (d) upon the failure of the Borrowers timely to pay or perform any of the foregoing Loan Obligations as provided in the Loan Documents, the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in paying or performing such Loan Obligations (but Lender shall not be required to pay or perform such Loan Obligations); and (e) all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses that may be incurred by the Lender by

 

1



 

reason of an Event of Default as provided in the Loan Documents, including reasonable fees and expenses in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings.

 

Upon any Event of Default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, the Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender such amounts as are necessary to cure the Event of Default, or at the option of the Lender in the event Lender has elected to accelerate the Loan Obligations as a result thereof, the Guarantor agrees to pay the outstanding Loan Obligations in full.

 

This Guaranty is unconditional except as expressly set forth herein, and the Guarantor agrees that the Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be required to assert any claim or cause of action against the Borrowers before asserting any claim or cause of action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.  The Guarantor further agrees that the Lender shall not be required to pursue or foreclose on any Collateral that it may receive from the Borrowers, any guarantor, or others as security for any of the Loan Obligations before making a claim or asserting a cause of action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

The failure of the Lender to perfect its security interest in any of the Collateral as set forth in any of the Loan Documents or any other collateral now or hereafter securing all or any part of the Loan Obligations shall not release the Guarantor from its liabilities and obligations hereunder.

 

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any Default or Event of Default is hereby waived by the Guarantor, except to the extent notice is otherwise expressly required by the Loan Documents.  Presentment, protest, demand, and notice of protest and demand, and notice of receipt of any and all Collateral, and of the exercise of possessory remedies or foreclosure on any and all Collateral received by the Lender from the Borrowers or the Guarantor are hereby waived.  To the extent any Collateral from time to time consists of accounts owing to Borrowers, all settlements, compromises, compositions, accounts stated, and agreed balances in good faith between any primary or secondary obligors on any such accounts shall be binding upon the Guarantor.  With respect to the amounts now or hereafter due under this Guaranty, the Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights of exemption of property from levy or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts under the laws or Constitution of the United States or any state thereof.

 

This Guaranty shall not be affected, modified, or impaired by the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangements, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrowers or any guarantor, or any of the assets belonging to any of them, nor shall this Guaranty be affected, modified, or impaired by the invalidity of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

2



 

Without notice to the Guarantor, without the consent of the Guarantor, and without affecting or limiting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Lender may:

 

(a)                                  grant the Borrowers extensions of time for payment of the Loan Obligations or any part hereof;

 

(b)                                  renew any of the Loan Obligations;

 

(c)                                   grant the Borrowers extensions of time for performance of agreements or other indulgences;

 

(d)                                  at any time release any or all of the Collateral, or any mortgage, deed of trust, or security interest in any Collateral, that now or hereafter secures any of the Loan Obligations;

 

(e)                                   compromise, settle, release, or terminate any or all of the obligations, covenants, or agreements of the Borrowers under the Note or other Loan Documents;

 

(f)                                    at any time release any one or more other guarantors from their guarantees of any of the Loan Obligations; and

 

(g)                                   modify or amend any obligation, covenant, or agreement of the Borrowers as set forth in the Note or any of the other Loan Documents (and such amendments shall nevertheless be binding upon the Guarantor); provided no increase in the principal amount of the Loan will be binding upon the Guarantor unless it has consented to such increase unless such increase is made pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Loan Agreement.

 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any whole or partial payment or performance of any Loan Obligations is or is sought to be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any guarantor upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any guarantor of or for any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments and performance had not been made and as though this Guaranty had not expired or been terminated.  This Guaranty shall not be affected in any way by the transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral described in and granted to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.

4.                                       Negative Covenants of the Guarantor .   Except as permitted by the Loan Agreement, so long as any of the Loan Obligations are outstanding, Guarantor agrees that it shall not, without Lender’s prior written approval:

 

(a)                                  Change in Business .  Make any material change in the nature of its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations pursuant to this Guaranty.

 

(b)                                  Changes in Accounting .   Change its method of accounting to one inconsistent with the method heretofore used by Guarantor.

 

(c)                                   Consolidation or Transfer of Substantially all of its Assets .   Enter into any merger, consolidation, or similar transaction with any entity other than Borrowers or any other subsidiary of Borrowers which is a guarantor of the Loan, or sell, assign, lease, or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now or hereafter acquired) other than to Borrowers or any other subsidiary of Borrowers which is a guarantor of the Loan or unless any such disposition is of property other than the Collateral and is in the ordinary course of business for a full and fair consideration and does not violate any covenant of the Loan Agreement.

 

(d)                                  ERISA Funding and Termination .   Permit the funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee plan of Guarantor to be less than the minimum required by ERISA at any time, or any employee plan of Guarantor to be subject to involuntary termination proceedings at any time.

 

(e)                                   Transfer of Ownership Interests .   Permit any transfer of the ownership interests or stock of Guarantor or change in management of Guarantor that would violate any covenant of the Loan Agreement.

 

5.                                       Events of Default .   Guarantor’s violation of any covenant set forth in Section 4 hereof, or Guarantor’s failure to properly and timely perform or observe any covenant or condition set forth in this Guaranty (other than those in Section 4 ) which is not cured within any applicable cure period as set forth herein or, if no cure period is specified therefor, which is not cured within thirty (30) days of Lender’s notice to Guarantor of such default (provided such cure period shall be extended an additional sixty (60) days if Guarantor commences a cure within such initial thirty (30) days, provides evidence thereof to Lender and diligently pursues a cure), or the falsity in any material respect of any representation or warranty herein or in any financial statement, certificate, or other information heretofore or hereafter provided by Guarantor to Lender, shall constitute an “ Event of Default ” hereunder and under each of the Loan Documents.  The foregoing provision or any other provision requiring or providing for notice or demand from Lender is deemed eliminated if Lender is prevented from giving such notice or

 

6



 

demand by bankruptcy or other applicable law, and the Event of Default shall occur upon the occurrence of such event or condition if not cured within any applicable period measured from the occurrence of such event or condition rather than from notice or demand.

 

6.                                       Waiver and Subordination . Guarantor expressly waives any right to payment arising by virtue of any subrogation or indemnification upon payment by Guarantor of amounts due from Borrowers to Lender, and Guarantor expressly subordinates any other rights to payment of indebtedness owing from Borrowers to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the prior right of Lender to receive or require payment in full of the Loan Obligations, until such time as the Loan Obligations are fully paid (including interest accruing on the Note after any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, which post-petition interest Guarantor agrees shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom, or ruling in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code generally) and such payments are final and not subject to refund or rescission under bankruptcy or other applicable law.  Furthermore, so long as an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrowers to the Guarantor or any security for such indebtedness until such time as the Loan Obligations are fully paid.  If Guarantor should receive any such payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of Borrowers to the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees to deliver the same promptly to Lender in the form received, endorsed, or assigned as may be appropriate for application on account of, or as security for, the Loan Obligations and until so delivered, agrees to hold the same in trust for Lender.

 

7.                                       Successors and Assigns .   This Guaranty shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

8.                                       Transfer of Rights under the Guaranty and the Loan Documents .

 

(a)                                  Transfer by Lender .  Subject to any limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement, Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign any of the Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “ Securities ”) to any affiliate of Lender or to the Small Business Administration. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such Securities or any credit rating agency rating such Securities (the foregoing entities hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Investor ”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to Guarantor, whether furnished by Borrowers, Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.  Guarantor agrees, upon request of Lender, to cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Section 8(a) provided there is no material financial or other burden to Guarantor of doing so and provided such cooperation does not require an amendment to this Guaranty which would in any manner increase the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.  Guarantor shall also furnish and Guarantor hereby consents, subject to Lender’s obligations hereunder, to Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective

 

7



 

Investors any and all information concerning the financial condition of Guarantor as provided for in this Section 8(a) in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender delivers any such information to a prospective Investor, Lender will notify Guarantor to such effect.

 

(b)                                  Transfer by Guarantor .  Without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, Guarantor may not, at any time, sell, transfer or assign this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or any of the Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or is otherwise a guarantor, and any or all rights or obligations with respect thereto.

 

9.                                       Severability .   In the event that any provision hereof is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court, this Guaranty shall be construed as not containing such provision, and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect other provisions hereof which are otherwise lawful and valid and shall remain in full force and effect.

 

10.                                Notices .   Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Guaranty or by applicable law shall be in writing and shall be deemed received (a) on the date delivered if delivered in person to the person or department specified below, (b) three (3) days after the date deposited in the U.S. Mail, certified or registered, with return receipt requested, or (c) one (1) day following the date deposited with Federal Express or other national overnight carrier, and, in each case, shall be addressed as follows: If to Borrowers:

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE

 

THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE (this “ Guaranty ”) made as of August 17, 2012, by ADCARE OKLAHOMA MANAGEMENT, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (the “ Guarantor ”) in favor of CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE SENIOR LIEN FUND I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “ Lender ”).

 

R E C I T A L S :

 

Pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated the date hereof (as the same may hereafter be amended, the “ Loan Agreement ”) between CSCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company, and CSCC NURSING, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (collectively, the “ Borrowers ”) and Lender, Lender agreed to make a loan to the Borrowers in the principal amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “ Loan ”). As one of the conditions for the Loan, Lender required that the Guarantor guarantee the Loan Obligations (as hereinafter defined), now existing or hereafter incurred, owing to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.  Guarantor is the manager of the facility being financed with the Loan and is an affiliated entity under common control and ownership with the Borrowers and will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Loan, which benefits, among others, provide adequate consideration for them to enter into this Guaranty.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, and in order to induce the Lender to continue to make the Loan, and as security for the Loan Obligations, Guarantor agrees and covenants with Lender and represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

 

1.                                       Guarantee of Loan Obligations .   The Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally with Borrowers and any other, guarantor of the Loan guarantees to the Lender the following (collectively, the “ Loan Obligations ”) (a) the due, regular, and punctual payment of the principal (including capitalized interest that is added to principal), interest, fees, premiums, expenses, and other charges pursuant to the Note executed by the Borrowers evidencing the Loan, as the same may hereafter be extended, renewed, modified, or amended (the “ Note ”), (b) the payment of all fees, premiums, expenses, charges, and other amounts from time to time owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, and (c) the performance of all covenants, agreements, and other obligations from time to time owing to, or for the benefit of, Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents; (d) upon the failure of the Borrowers timely to pay or perform any of the foregoing Loan Obligations as provided in the Loan Documents, the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in paying or performing such Loan Obligations (but Lender shall not be required to pay or perform such Loan Obligations);

 

1



 

and (e) all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses that may be incurred by the Lender by reason of an Event of Default as provided in the Loan Documents, including reasonable fees and expenses in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings.

 

Upon any Event of Default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, the Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender such amounts as are necessary to cure the Event of Default, or at the option of the Lender in the event Lender has elected to accelerate the Loan Obligations as a result thereof, the Guarantor agrees to pay the outstanding Loan Obligations in full.

 

This Guaranty is unconditional except as expressly set forth herein, and the Guarantor agrees that the Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be required to assert any claim or cause of action against the Borrowers before asserting any claim or cause of action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.  The Guarantor further agrees that the Lender shall not be required to pursue or foreclose on any Collateral that it may receive from the Borrowers, any guarantor, or others as security for any of the Loan Obligations before making a claim or asserting a cause of action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

The failure of the Lender to perfect its security interest in any of the Collateral as set forth in any of the Loan Documents or any other collateral now or hereafter securing all or any part of the Loan Obligations shall not release the Guarantor from its liabilities and obligations hereunder.

 

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any Default or Event of Default is hereby waived by the Guarantor, except to the extent notice is otherwise expressly required by the Loan Documents.  Presentment, protest, demand, and notice of protest and demand, and notice of receipt of any and all Collateral, and of the exercise of possessory remedies or foreclosure on any and all Collateral received by the Lender from the Borrowers or the Guarantor are hereby waived.  To the extent any Collateral from time to time consists of accounts owing to Borrowers, all settlements, compromises, compositions, accounts stated, and agreed balances in good faith between any primary or secondary obligors on any such accounts shall be binding upon the Guarantor.  With respect to the amounts now or hereafter due under this Guaranty, the Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights of exemption of property from levy or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts under the laws or Constitution of the United States or any state thereof.

 

This Guaranty shall not be affected, modified, or impaired by the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangements, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrowers or any guarantor, or any of the assets belonging to any of them, nor shall this Guaranty be affected, modified, or impaired by the invalidity of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

Without notice to the Guarantor, without the consent of the Guarantor, and without affecting or limiting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Lender may:

 

(a)                                  grant the Borrowers extensions of time for payment of the Loan Obligations or any part hereof;

 

(b)                                  renew any of the Loan Obligations;

 

(c)                                   grant the Borrowers extensions of time for performance of agreements or other indulgences;

(f)                                    at any time release any one or more other guarantors from their guarantees of any of the Loan Obligations; and

 

(g)                                   modify or amend any obligation, covenant, or agreement of the Borrowers as set forth in the Note or any of the other Loan Documents (and such amendments shall nevertheless be binding upon the Guarantor); provided no increase in the principal amount of the Loan will be binding upon the Guarantor unless it has consented to such increase unless such increase is made pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Loan Agreement.

 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any whole or partial payment or performance of any Loan Obligations is or is sought to be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any guarantor upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any guarantor of or for any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments and performance had not been made and as though this Guaranty had not expired or been terminated.  This Guaranty shall not be affected in any way by the transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral described in and granted to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.

4.                                       Negative Covenants of the Guarantor .   Except as permitted by the Loan Agreement, so long as any of the Loan Obligations are outstanding, Guarantor agrees that it shall not, without Lender’s prior written approval:

 

(a)                                  Change in Business .  Make any material change in the nature of its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations pursuant to this Guaranty.

 

(b)                                  Changes in Accounting .   Change its method of accounting to one inconsistent with the method heretofore used by Guarantor.

 

(c)                                   Consolidation or Transfer of Substantially all of its Assets .   Enter into any merger, consolidation, or similar transaction with any entity other than Borrowers or any other subsidiary of Borrowers which is a guarantor of the Loan, or sell, assign, lease, or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now or hereafter acquired) other than to Borrowers or any other subsidiary of Borrowers which is a guarantor of the Loan or unless any such disposition is of property other than the Collateral and is in the ordinary course of business for a full and fair consideration and does not violate any covenant of the Loan Agreement.

 

(d)                                  ERISA Funding and Termination .   Permit the funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee plan of Guarantor to be less than the minimum required by ERISA at any time, or any employee plan of Guarantor to be subject to involuntary termination proceedings at any time.

 

(e)                                   Transfer of Ownership Interests .   Permit any transfer of the ownership interests or stock of Guarantor or change in management of Guarantor that would violate any covenant of the Loan Agreement.

 

5.                                       Events of Default .   Guarantor’s violation of any covenant set forth in Section 4 hereof, or Guarantor’s failure to properly and timely perform or observe any covenant or condition set forth in this Guaranty (other than those in Section 4 ) which is not cured within any applicable cure period as set forth herein or, if no cure period is specified therefor, which is not cured within thirty (30) days of Lender’s notice to Guarantor of such default (provided such cure period shall be extended an additional sixty (60) days if Guarantor commences a cure within such initial thirty (30) days, provides evidence thereof to Lender and diligently pursues a cure), or the falsity in any material respect of any representation or warranty herein or in any financial statement, certificate, or other information heretofore or hereafter provided by Guarantor to Lender, shall constitute an “ Event of Default ” hereunder and under each of the Loan Documents.  The foregoing provision or any other provision requiring or providing for notice or demand from Lender is deemed eliminated if Lender is prevented from giving such notice or

 

6



 

demand by bankruptcy or other applicable law, and the Event of Default shall occur upon the occurrence of such event or condition if not cured within any applicable period measured from the occurrence of such event or condition rather than from notice or demand.

 

6.                                       Waiver and Subordination . Guarantor expressly waives any right to payment arising by virtue of any subrogation or indemnification upon payment by Guarantor of amounts due from Borrowers to Lender, and Guarantor expressly subordinates any other rights to payment of indebtedness owing from Borrowers to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the prior right of Lender to receive or require payment in full of the Loan Obligations, until such time as the Loan Obligations are fully paid (including interest accruing on the Note after any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, which post-petition interest Guarantor agrees shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom, or ruling in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code generally) and such payments are final and not subject to refund or rescission under bankruptcy or other applicable law.  Furthermore, so long as an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrowers to the Guarantor or any security for such indebtedness until such time as the Loan Obligations are fully paid.  If Guarantor should receive any such payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of Borrowers to the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees to deliver the same promptly to Lender in the form received, endorsed, or assigned as may be appropriate for application on account of, or as security for, the Loan Obligations and until so delivered, agrees to hold the same in trust for Lender.

 

7.                                       Successors and Assigns .   This Guaranty shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

8.                                       Transfer of Rights under the Guaranty and the Loan Documents .

 

(a)                                  Transfer by Lender .  Subject to any limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement, Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign any of the Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “ Securities ”) to any affiliate of Lender or to the Small Business Administration. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such Securities or any credit rating agency rating such Securities (the foregoing entities hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Investor ”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to Guarantor, whether furnished by Borrowers, Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.  Guarantor agrees, upon request of Lender, to cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Section 8(a) provided there is no material financial or other burden to Guarantor of doing so and provided such cooperation does not require an amendment to this Guaranty which would in any manner increase the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.  Guarantor shall also furnish and Guarantor hereby consents, subject to Lender’s obligations hereunder, to Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective

 

7



 

Investors any and all information concerning the financial condition of Guarantor as provided for in this Section 8(a) in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender delivers any such information to a prospective Investor, Lender will notify Guarantor to such effect.

 

(b)                                  Transfer by Guarantor .  Without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, Guarantor may not, at any time, sell, transfer or assign this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or any of the Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or is otherwise a guarantor, and any or all rights or obligations with respect thereto.

 

9.                                       Severability .   In the event that any provision hereof is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court, this Guaranty shall be construed as not containing such provision, and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect other provisions hereof which are otherwise lawful and valid and shall remain in full force and effect.

 

10.                                Notices .   Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Guaranty or by applicable law shall be in writing and shall be deemed received (a) on the date delivered if delivered in person to the person or department specified below, (b) three (3) days after the date deposited in the U.S. Mail, certified or registered, with return receipt requested, or (c) one (1) day following the date deposited with Federal Express or other national overnight carrier, and, in each case, shall be addressed as follows: If to Borrowers:

(o)                                  There is no bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation proceeding pending by or against the Account Debtor with respect thereto, nor has the Account Debtor suspended business, made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or failed to pay its debts generally as they come due, or no condition or event has occurred having a material adverse effect on the Account Debtor which would require the Accounts of such Account Debtor to be deemed uncollectible in accordance with GAAP; and

(h)                                  If any Letter of Credit has not been presented for a draw pursuant to its terms, such Letter of Credit shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the stated expiry date thereof or the date such Letter of Credit is returned to the Lender for cancellation.  Except as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section, in no event shall the Lender be required to release the liens and

(b)                                  Each Facility shall at all times be operated as a skilled nursing facility under the management of the applicable Borrower.

 

7.12                         Minimum Coverage of Rent and Debt Service .  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that for each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012, the ratio of —

 

(i)                                      the amount of the combined EBITDAR for Borrowers for such quarter, to

 

(ii)                                   the sum of the combined amounts of the following for Borrowers for such quarter: (A) Rental Expense, plus (B) Debt Service,

 

shall be not less than 1.25 to 1.00.  Notwithstanding the definition of the term Net Income in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, the Net Income for each Borrower used in calculating EBITDAR of such Borrower for the purpose of this Section for any period, shall be computed by taking into account (i) management fees equal to the greater of such Borrower’s actual management fees for such period or imputed management fees equal to 5% of such Borrower’s gross income for such period as determined in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) an imputed capital expenditures reserve allowance at the annual rate of $350 per licensed bed in such Borrower’s Facility.

shall be not less than 1.05 to 1.00.  Notwithstanding the definition of the term Net Income in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, the Net Income for each Borrower used in calculating EBITDAR of such Borrower for the purpose of this Section for any period, shall be computed by taking into account an imputed capital expenditures reserve allowance at the annual rate of $350 per licensed bed in such Borrower’s Facility.  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) unlike Section 7.12 hereof, the Net Income for Borrowers used in calculating EBITDAR of Borrowers for the purpose of this Section for any period shall be computed by taking into account each Borrower’s actual management fees for such period only and not taking into account any imputed management fees.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the case of the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2012, March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2013, the calculation of such ratio shall be made for the period commencing on October 1, 2012, and ending on the last

 

37



 

day of such quarter, instead of for the full 12-month period ending on the last day of such quarter.

(ii)                                   the amount of EBITDA for AdCare for such year,

7.15                         AdCare Debt Service Coverage Ratio .  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the ratio of —

 

(i)                                      the amount of EBITDAR for AdCare for such year, to

 

(ii)                                   the total amount Debt Service required to be paid by AdCare for such year,

 

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 provided for 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.

7.18        Collateral Records .  Each Borrower shall keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral and shall mark such books and records to indicate Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, including placing a legend, in form and content acceptable to Lender, on all Chattel Paper created by such Borrower indicating that Lender has a security interest in such Chattel Paper.

 

7.19        Further Assurance .  Each Borrower, on request of Lender, from time to time, shall execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected as valid liens upon the Collateral the liens granted to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

 

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 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)           Withhold further disbursement of Loan Proceeds and terminate any of its obligations to Borrowers;

 

46



 

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

 

(c)           In addition to any rights of setoff that Lender may have under applicable law, without notice of any kind to Borrowers, 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 any Borrower then or thereafter in the possession of Lender;

 

(d)           Exercise all of the rights of a secured party under the Code;

 

(e)           Exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists;

 

(f)            Instruct Borrowers, at their own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Debtors, to make payment directly to Lender of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or Lender may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of Lender, or of the assignment to Lender of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to Lender of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such persons obligated thereon;

 

(g)           Enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; or

 

(h)           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, enforcement of all Loan Documents.

 

11.2        Possession and Assembly of Collateral .  During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which Lender already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may at any time enter into any of the premises of any Borrower where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and Lender shall have the right to store and conduct a sale of the same in any of any Borrower’s premises without cost to Lender.  At Lender’s request, Borrowers will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place or places to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrowers.

 

11.3.       Sale of Collateral .  During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as Lender may deem proper, and Lender may purchase any or all of the Collateral

 

47



 

at any such sale.  Borrowers acknowledge that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral because of certain legal and/or practical restrictions and provisions which may be applicable to the Collateral and, therefore, may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers.  Borrowers consent to any such private sale so made even though at places and upon terms less favorable than if the Collateral were sold at public sale.  Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.  Lender may apply the net proceeds, after deducting all costs, expenses, and reasonable fees of attorneys and paralegals incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and sale of the Collateral and the obligations secured by the Collateral, to the payment of the Note or any of the other obligations secured by the Collateral, returning the excess proceeds, if any, to Borrowers.  Borrowers shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with interest at the Default Rate.  Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by Lender at least 10 calendar days before the date of such disposition.  Borrowers hereby confirm, approve and ratify all acts and deeds of Lender relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof, and expressly waives any and all claims of any nature, kind or description which it have or may hereafter have against Lender or its representatives, by reason of taking, selling or collecting any portion of the Collateral.  Borrowers consent to releases of the Collateral at any time (including prior to default) and to sales of the Collateral in groups, parcels or portions, or as an entirety, as Lender shall deem appropriate.  Borrowers expressly absolve Lender from any loss or decline in market value of any Collateral by reason of delay in the enforcement or assertion or nonenforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

 

11.4        Standards for Exercising Remedies .  To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrowers, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, including any warranties of title, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants

 

48



 

and other professionals to assist Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Borrowers acknowledge that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Borrowers or to impose any duties on Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

 

11.5                         Code and Offset Rights .  Lender may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the Code or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the obligations under the Loan Documents, whether matured or unmatured, including costs of collection and reasonable fees of attorneys and paralegals, and in such order of application as Lender may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of Lender to Borrowers or any other person obligated for any of the obligations under the Loan Documents, however created or arising, including balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of Borrowers or any such other person in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to Lender.  Borrowers, on behalf of themselves and each such other person, hereby waive the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit Lender in the exercise of its right, which is hereby acknowledged, to appropriate at any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from Lender to any such other person.

 

11.6                         Additional Remedies .  Lender shall have the right and power to —

 

(a)                                  Instruct Borrowers, at their own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Debtors, to make payment directly to Lender of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or Lender may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of Lender, or of the assignment to Lender of the Collateral, and direct such obligors to make payment to Lender of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such persons obligated thereon;

 

(b)                                  Enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder;

 

(c)                                   Take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon;

 

(d)                                  Extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) the Note, any other obligations under any of the Loan

 

49



 

Documents, or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to the Note or any of the Obligations;

 

(e)                                   Grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Note or any of the other obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or any extension or renewal of any of the Note or such other obligations, or any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to the Note or any of such other obligations;

 

(f)                                    Transfer the whole or any part of securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of Lender or Lender’s nominee without disclosing, if Lender so desires, that such securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of Lender, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of such securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that Lender or such nominee makes any further transfer of such securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether Lender or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same;

 

(g)                                   Vote the Collateral;

 

(h)                                  Make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any such action of Lender as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of Borrowers hereunder, nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive Lender’s rights and remedies at law, in equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, Borrowers, any guarantor or other person liable to Lender for the Loan or any of the other obligations under the Loan Documents; and

 

(i)                                      At any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the obligations under the Loan Documents, or Lender’s rights hereunder or under the Note.

 

Borrowers hereby ratify and confirm whatever Lender may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that Lender shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral.

 

11.7                         Right of Lender to Make Advances to Cure Event of Defaults; Obligatory Advances .  If Borrowers shall fail to perform any of their 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 Sections 11.1 through 11.6 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 protect its security for the Loan are

 

50



 

obligatory advances hereunder and shall constitute additional indebtedness payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

 

11.8                         Attorney-in-Fact .  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and any officer of Lender or any person designated by Lender for that purpose) as such Borrower’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in such Borrower’s name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to (i) take such actions as are expressly permitted in this Agreement, (ii) execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as Lender may require to perfect and preserve Lender’s security interest in, and during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder, to enforce such interests in the Collateral, and (iii) during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder, carry out any remedy provided for in this Agreement, including endorsing such Borrower’s name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of such Borrower, changing the address of such Borrower to that of Lender, opening all envelopes addressed to such Borrower and applying any payments contained therein to the amounts due to Lender.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.  Each Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Agreement.

 

11.9                         No Marshalling .  Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the obligations of Borrowers, or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Borrowers hereby agree that they will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Lender’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of Borrowers’ obligations or under which any of such obligations is outstanding or by which any of such obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.

 

11.10                  Application of Proceeds .  Lender will within three business days after receipt of cash or solvent credits from collection of items of payment, proceeds of Collateral or any other source, apply the whole or any part thereof against the obligations secured hereby.  Lender shall further have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of such payments and such credits shall be made on such obligations, and such determination shall be conclusive upon Borrowers.  Any proceeds of any disposition by Lender of all or any part of the Collateral may be first applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Collateral, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses as provided for in Section 11.11 hereof.

 

11.11                  Attorneys’ Fees .  Borrowers 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, which shall also include reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys who may be employees of Lender or

 

51



 

any affiliate of Lender.  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 Borrowers, this Agreement, the Projects, the Facilities 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 any Project or any Facility, or to attempt to enforce or protect any security interest or lien or other right in any portion of any Project or any Facility or under any of the Loan Documents, or to enforce any rights of Lender or obligations of Borrowers 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 Borrowers to Lender payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

 

11.12                  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 Borrowers in any case, in itself, shall entitle Borrowers 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.

 

11.13                  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.

12.2                         Joint and Several Obligations; Full Collateralization .

 

(a)                                  Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of all Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of the amount of the Loan Proceeds that is actually disbursed to or for the benefit of each Borrower, or the manner in which Borrowers or Lender account for the Loan in their respective books and records.  All of the collateral provided by each Borrower shall secure all of the obligations of all Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of the amount of the Loan Proceeds that is actually disbursed to or for the benefit of each Borrower.

COOSA NURSING ADK, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company,

 

hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of THE PRIVATEBANK AND TRUST COMPANY , an Illinois banking corporation (the Lender ), the principal sum of $10,600,000 (the Loan ), or so much of the Loan as may be advanced under and pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith (the Loan Agreement ), executed by and among the Borrowers and the Lender, on or before September 20, 2015 (the Maturity Date ), at the time and place and in the manner hereinafter provided, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates described below, and any and all other amounts which may be due and payable hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) from time to time.  All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the same meanings as in the Loan Agreement.  Each disbursement on the Loan made by the Lender, and all payments on account of the principal and interest thereof, shall be recorded on the books and records of the Lender and the principal balance as shown on such books and records, or any copy thereof certified by an officer of the Lender, shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing hereunder.

 

2.              INTEREST RATE .

 

2.1           Interest Prior to Default .  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 floating per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate (as defined below), plus 1.0%, or (ii) 5.0% per annum.  Changes in the rate of interest to be charged hereunder based on the Prime Rate shall take effect immediately upon the occurrence of any change in the Prime Rate.  For purposes of this Note, the term Prime Rate means the

 

2



 

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 Borrowers acknowledge and agree 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.

 

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 under this Section shall be immediately due and payable by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 October, 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)            Principal shall be payable on this Note in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(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

 

3



 

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.

 

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 the Borrowers’ account with the Lender, as designated in writing by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers agree 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, at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that such prepayment is accompanied by a simultaneous payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note through the date of prepayment.

 

4.              SECURITY; LOAN DOCUMENTS .  This Note is secured by the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement 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,

 

4



 

and all matters therein contained.  This Note and the Loan are also secured by all of the collateral provided to the Lender for the Owner Loan, and all of the collateral for this Note and the Loan also secure the Owner 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 Borrowers 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 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 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 and in all of the other Loan Documents are cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively or together against the Borrowers, any Guarantor hereof and any 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 Borrowers promise and agree to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.

 

7.              COVENANTS AND WAIVERS .  The Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 affected by any indulgence or forbearance granted or consented to by the Lender to any of them

 

5



 

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 Borrowers, 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 Borrowers.

1.              Guaranty of Payment .

 

(a)            The Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, of the indebtedness and other obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender evidenced by the Note and any other amounts that may become owing by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents (such indebtedness, obligations and other amounts are hereinafter referred to as the Payment Obligations ), subject to the limitation set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section.  If for any reason the Borrowers shall fail or be unable to pay, punctually and fully, any of their Payment Obligations, the Guarantor shall pay such obligations to the Lender in full immediately upon demand, subject to the limitation set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section.

 

(b)            The liability of the Guarantor under paragraph (a) of this Section with respect to the amount of principal outstanding on the Note shall be limited to $5,300,000 (the Principal Limit ).  There shall be no limitation on the liability of the Guarantor under paragraph (a) of this Section with respect to interest on the Note, or with respect to any other amounts (except principal of the Note) that may become owing by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.  The limitation on the liability of the Guarantor provided for in this paragraph (b) does not apply to liability of the Guarantor arising under any provision of this Guaranty other than paragraph (a) of this Section.  Amounts received by the Lender in partial payment of the principal of the Note, other than payments from the Guarantor, shall not reduce the obligation of the Guarantor under paragraph (a) of this Section with respect to the principal of the Note, except to the extent that such partial payments reduce the principal outstanding on the Note below the Principal Limit.

 

(c)            In addition to the guaranties of payment provided for above in this Section, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantee, jointly and severally, the payment of (i) the Recourse Guaranty Obligations (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) the Full Re-Payment Obligations (as hereinafter defined), but, with respect to the Full Re-Payment Obligations, only if (A) there is fraud by any Borrower or any of their partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers or directors, as the case may be, or of the Guarantor, with respect to the Loan, (B) a Prohibited Transfer occurs and is not reversed within 14 days after the date on which it occurs, (C) any Borrower contests, delays or otherwise hinders any action taken by the Lender in connection with the appointment of a receiver for any collateral for the Loan or the foreclosure of the liens, deeds of trust, mortgages or other security interests created by any of the Loan Documents, or (D) any Borrower or Guarantor voluntarily files for bankruptcy, or is involuntarily placed into bankruptcy by an affiliate, accountant, attorney, or other representative of any Borrower or Guarantor and such involuntary bankruptcy is not dismissed within 30 days after the filing thereof.  As used herein, the term Full Re-Payment Obligations shall mean the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the principal balance of and all interest due on the Note, whether at stated maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, and to pay any other amounts that may become owing under the Note or the other Loan Documents.  As used herein, the term Recourse Guaranty Obligations shall mean:

 

(i)             All Losses (as hereinafter defined) suffered or incurred by or on behalf of the Lender in enforcing the rights and remedies of the Lender under this Guaranty or under the other Loan Documents, together with all interest calculated at the Default Rate

until paid on all amounts owed by the Guarantor which accrues from and after the date the Lender’s demand for payment is delivered to the Guarantor;

 

(ii)            All Losses suffered or incurred by the Lender as a result of any material misrepresentation in any of the Loan Documents;

 

(iii)           All Losses suffered or incurred by the Lender as a result of waste with respect to any of the collateral for the Loan;

 

(iv)           All Losses suffered or incurred by the Lender as a result of the removal or disposal of any property in which the Lender has a security interest in violation of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents;

 

(v)            All Losses suffered or incurred by the Lender as a result of any liens against any of the collateral for the Loan not expressly permitted or contested under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(vi)           All Losses suffered or incurred by the Lender as a result of the application of any insurance proceeds (to the full extent of such proceeds) not permitted by the Loan Agreement any of the other Loan Documents, or the failure of any Borrower to maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance coverages required by the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and

 

(vii)          An amount equal to all revenues received by or on behalf of any Borrower from the operation or ownership of any Facility after the Lender has notified the Borrowers of a Default or Event of Default under any of the provisions of the Loan Documents, less only that portion of such revenues which are (A) actually used by the Borrowers to operate the Facilities in the ordinary course of business, or for other purposes which are approved in writing by the Lender, or (B) paid to the Lender.

 

The term Losses means any and all claims, suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, losses, costs, expenses, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlement, and foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, of whatever kind or nature (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of defense).

 

Under no circumstances shall the liability of the Guarantor hereunder be reduced by, from or as a result of any payment to or amount realized by the Lender from any rents, deposits, insurance proceeds, proceeds from bankruptcy sale, foreclosure or any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or from any other profits, avails, revenues or proceeds derived from the Facilities, and only payments made to the Lender by the Guarantor out of its personal funds not derived from the Facilities after demand therefor by the Lender shall be applied against such liability.

 

(d)            The guaranty in this Section 1 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 any Borrower, the Guarantor, or any other guarantor of the Loan, or to enforce or resort to any collateral for the repayment of the Loan or other rights or remedies pertaining thereto, before calling on any Guarantor for payment.  One or more
