REGIONAL HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2018

NOTE 1.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”) is the former parent of, and the predecessor issuer to, Regional Health Properties, Inc. (“Regional Health” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). On September 29, 2017, AdCare merged (the “Merger”) with and into Regional Health, a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare formed for the purposes of the Merger, with Regional Health continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. The Company now has many of the characteristics of a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and is focused on the ownership, acquisition and leasing of healthcare related properties. See Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 16, 2018 (the “Annual Report”), for a description of the Merger.

The Company is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living. The Company’s business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities to third-party tenants, which operate the facilities. The operators of the Company’s facilities provide a range of healthcare services, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company owned, leased, or managed for third parties 30 facilities , primarily in the Southeast United States. Of the 30 facilities, the Company: (i) leased 14 owned facilities and subleased 11 leased skilled nursing facilities to third-party tenants; (ii) leased two owned assisted living facilities to third-party tenants; and (iii) managed on behalf of third-party owners two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility (see Note 7 Leases and Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7 Leases in the Annual Report for a more detailed description of the Company’s leases).

The Company leases its currently-owned healthcare properties, and subleases its currently-leased healthcare properties, on a triple-net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the third-party operator of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property , including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable. These leases are generally long-term in nature with renewal options and annual rent escalation clauses.

When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), unless otherwise specifically stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms:

 

“Board” refers to the Board of Directors of AdCare with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to the Board of Directors of Regional Health with respect to the period after the Merger;

 

“common stock” refers to AdCare’s common stock with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to Regional Health’s common stock with respect to the period after the Merger; and

 

“Series A Preferred Stock” refers to AdCare’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to Regional Health’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with respect to the period after the Merger.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulations S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 

You should read the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report together with the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Annual Report. See

8


 

Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report, for a description of all significant accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no material changes to the Company’s policies, except as noted below in Recently Adopted Standards.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Allowances

Allowances. The Company assesses the collectability of its rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants. The Company bases its assessment of the collectability of rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company's evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments or payments on a working capital loan, the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset or working capital loan for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectability of future rent payments required by a lease or required from a working capital loan to a tenant, the Company may adjust its reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue or interest revenue from working capital loans to tenants recognized in the period the Company makes such change in its assumptions or estimates.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company allowed for approximately $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of gross patient care related receivables arising from its legacy operations. Allowances for patient care receivables are estimated based on an aged bucket method as well as additional analyses of remaining balances incorporating different payor types. Any changes in patient care receivable allowances are recognized as a component of discontinued operations. All uncollected patient care receivables were fully allowed at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  Accounts receivable, net, totaled $0.6 million at March 31, 2018 and $0.9 million at December 31, 2017.

Pre-paid expenses and other

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in pre-paid expenses and other, primarily for directors’ and officers’ insurance and mortgage insurance premiums.

Self-Insurance

The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations during 2014 and 2015 in connection with its transition from an owner and operator of healthcare properties to a healthcare property holding and leasing company (see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies in the Annual Report for more information). The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (iv) the status and likely success of any mediation or settlement discussions, including estimated settlement amounts and legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in such settlement, as applicable; and (v) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. The Company believes that most of the professional and general liability actions are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment unless settlement is more advantageous to the Company. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve reflects the Company's estimate of settlement amounts for the pending actions, if applicable, and legal costs of settling or litigating the pending actions, as applicable. Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve may not be sufficient to cover the settlement amounts actually incurred in settling the pending actions, or the legal costs actually incurred in settling or litigating the pending actions. See Note 8 – Accrued Expenses and Other .

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2017 financial information to conform to the 2018 presentation with no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. These reclassifications did not affect total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders' equity. Reclassifications were made to the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to conform the presentation of management fee revenues and its related expense, previously reported as general and administrative expense. Reclassifications were made to the consolidated statements of cash flows for

9


 

the three months ended March 31, 2017 to include restri cted cash in cash and restricted cash at the beginning-of-period and end-of-period totals.

Recently Adopted Standards

On January 1, 2018 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC”) 606, which requires a company to recognize revenue when the company transfers control of promised goods and services to a customer. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to receive in exchange for such goods and services. The new revenue standard does not apply to rental revenues, which are the Company’s primary source of revenue. A company is also required to disclose sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued several amendments to the standards, which are intended to promote a more consistent interpretation and application of the principals outlined in the standard. The new revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods.

The Company has one contract to manage (the “Management Contract”) two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility for a third-party, with payment for each month of service received in full on a monthly basis.

Companies are permitted to adopt the standard using a retrospective transition method (i.e., restate all prior periods presented) or a cumulative effect method (i.e., recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance at the date of initial application with no restatement of prior periods). However, both methods allow companies to elect certain practical expedients on transition that will help to simplify how a company restates its contracts. The Company adopted the standard using the cumulative effect method. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company reclassified expenses related to the Management Contract from General and administrative expense to Cost of management fees on the consolidated statements of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1 5, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , guidance which clarifies the treatment of several cash flow categories. In addition, the guidance clarifies that when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance for the three month period ending March 31, 2018 with an effective date of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 , Restricted Cash , that requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted the guidance with an effective date of January 1, 2018. Given this change, transfers between cash and restricted cash are no longer reported as cash flow activities on the statement of cash flows and hence reclassifications were made to the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to include restricted cash in cash and restricted cash at the beginning-of-period and end-of-period totals.

Recent Significant Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 , Leases , which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet and, among other changes, eliminates the requirement in current GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. The FASB also issued an Exposure Draft on January 5, 2018 proposing to amend ASU 2016-02 , which would provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying assets, to not separate non-lease components from the related lease components and, instead, to account for those components as a single lease component, if certain criteria are met. ASU 2016-02 and the related Exposure Draft are not effective for the Company until January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating this guidance and the impact to the Company, as both lessor and lessee, on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

See Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Annual Report, for a description of the other accounting pronouncements the Company is currently evaluating.

NOTE 2.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except: (i) net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the assumed conversion of convertible debt into shares of common stock; and (ii) the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes potentially dilutive securities (such as options, warrants, non-vested common stock and additional shares of common stock issuable under convertible debt outstanding during the period) when such securities are not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities from options, warrants and unvested restricted 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, approximately 1.2 million and 2.8 million shares, respectively, of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because including them would have been anti-dilutive for such periods.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of net loss for continuing and discontinued operations and the number of shares of common stock used in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 3.

LIQUIDITY

The Company plans to undertake measures to grow its operations and to streamline its cost infrastructure by: (i) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (ii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iii) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments; and (iv) reducing general and administrative expenses.

Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and debt refinancing. At March 31, 2018, the Company had $3.5 million in unrestricted cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of $0.7 million and anticipates continued positive cash flow from operations in the future. The Board suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock for the fourth quarter 2017 and the first quarter 2018 dividend periods. The Board plans to revisit the dividend payment policy with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock in the second quarter of 2018.  The Board believes that the dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional funds to meet its ongoing liquidity needs.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had total current liabilities of $26.2 million and total current assets of $6.2 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $20.0 million. Included in current liabilities at March 31, 2018 is the $17.7 million current portion of its $78.2 million in indebtedness. The current portion of such indebtedness is comprised of: (i) $15.4 million of long term debt classified as current due to concerns regarding the Company’s ability to comply with the terms of a forbearance agreement detailed below in this note, which may cause acceleration of the maturity of such debt, (ii) $1.3 million mortgage indebtedness under the Company’s senior guaranteed debt; and (iii) other debt of approximately $1.0 million, which includes bond and other mortgage indebtedness. The Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately $2.3 million (excluding the acceleration of the $15.4 million debt described above), during the next twelve-month period, which includes approximately $0.6 million of payments on other non-routine debt, $1.6 million of routine debt service amortization, and a $0.1 million payment of other debt. Management has obtained an additional extension of the maturity date of the Company’s credit facility with Housing & Healthcare Funding, LLC (the “Quail Creek Credit Facility”), that is secured by a first mortgage on the real property and improvements constituting the Nursing & Rehabilitation Center located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to April 30, 2019. Management plans to refinance the Quail Creek Credit Facility within the next twelve months, although there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all.

On February 15, 2018, the Company entered into a debt refinancing (“Pinecone Credit Facility”) with Pinecone Realty Partners II, LLC (“Pinecone”), with an aggregate principal amount of $16.25 million, which refinanced existing mortgage debt in an aggregate amount of $8.7 million on three skilled nursing properties, and provided additional surplus cash flow of $6.3 million which is available to fund general corporate needs (see Note 9 – Notes Payable and Other Debt ). The surplus cash flow from the Pinecone Credit Facility was used to fund $2.4 million of self-insurance reserves for professional and general liability claims with respect to 25 professional and general liability actions, and to fund repayment of $1.5 million in convertible debt. The remaining $2.4 million in surplus cash proceeds from the Pinecone Credit Facility refinancing will be used for general corporate purposes.

Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, the Company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or not the entity’s current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the entity to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the entity will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

On May 10, 2018, management was notified by Pinecone that the Company was in default on a number of administrative items as outlined in the Pinecone Credit Facility. Management also informed Pinecone that the Company had failed to meet one of its financial covenant obligations, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as outlined in the loan agreement to the Pinecone Credit Facility for the period ended March 31, 2018.

 

In order to alleviate such defaults, on May 18, 2018, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Pinecone (the “Forbearance Agreement”), in which, Pinecone provides a timeline and a number of remedies available to cure all default items and to regain compliance under the Pinecone Credit Facility. The forbearance period is from May 18, 2018, the date of the

12


 

execution of the Forbearance Agreement, to July 20, 2018, during which time, the Company must comply with all benchmarks as outlined in the Forbearance Agreement.

 

Management believes that the overall plan of correction as outlined in the Forbearance Agreement is achievable, however many of the benchmarks, as articulated in the Forbearance Agreement, fall outside of the control of management, and if the Company is unable to satisfy the requirements as outlined, then one of the remedies available to Pinecone is that the entire principal balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility, plus interest and fees, will become immediately due and payable, indicating that substantial doubt exists about whether or not the Company will be able to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

In applying the accounting guidance, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, and the Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months in addition to also considering the likelihood that the Company will comply with the requisites as outlined in the Forbearance Agreement and the implications thereof, as well as the Company’s recurring costs of operating its business.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to cure all of the deficiencies as listed in the Forbearance Agreement or that the Company will be able to continue to comply with all of the various covenants as required by the loan agreement of the Pinecone Credit Facility. The Company’s ability to cure its non-compliance with the Pinecone Credit Facility depends, in part, on its ability to work with outside parties, which is not within the Company’s exclusive control. If Pinecone were to call the balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility for any reason, and the Company were unable to cure such deficiency, it could have a material adverse consequence on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these financial statements.

 

The Company plans to continue to undertake measures to refinance certain loans and to streamline its cost infrastructure. But due to the inherent risks, unknown results and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters and the direct correlation between these matters and the Company’s ability to satisfy its financial obligations that may arise over the applicable one-year period, the Company is unable to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.

LEASES

Operating Leases

The Company leases a total of eleven skilled nursing facilities from unaffiliated owners under non-cancelable leases, all of which have rent escalation clauses and provisions requiring payment of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs by the lessee. Each of the skilled nursing facilities that are leased by the Company are subleased to and operated by third-party tenants. The Company also leases certain office space located in Suwanee, Georgia and Atlanta, Georgia. The Atlanta office space is subleased to a third-party tenant.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company is in compliance with all operating lease financial covenants.

Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators

The Company leases or subleases 27 facilities (16 owned by the Company and 11 leased to the Company) to third-party tenants on a triple net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the third-party tenant of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property, including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable.

Arkansas Leases and Facilities .  Until February 3, 2016, the Company subleased nine facilities located in Arkansas (the “Arkansas Facilities”) to affiliates of Aria Health Group, LLC (“Aria”) pursuant to separate sublease agreements (the “Aria Subleases”). Effective February 3, 2016, the Company terminated each Aria Sublease due to the applicable Aria affiliate’s failure to pay rent pursuant to the terms of such sublease. From April 1, 2016 to October 6, 2016, the Company leased the Arkansas Facilities to Skyline Healthcare LLC (“Skyline”), pursuant to a Master Lease Agreement, dated February 5, 2016 (the “Skyline Lease”). The term of the Skyline Lease commenced on April 1, 2016. In connection with the Skyline Lease, the Company entered into an Option Agreement, dated February 5, 2016, with Joseph Schwartz, the manager of Skyline, pursuant to which Mr. Schwartz, or an entity designated by Mr. Schwartz (the “Purchaser”), had an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Arkansas Facilities at a purchase price of $55.0 million, consisting of cash consideration in the amount of $52.0 million and a promissory note with a principal amount of $3.0 million and a maturity date of March 31, 2022 (the “Skyline Note”). The Company completed the sale of the Arkansas Facilities to the Purchaser on October 6, 2016 in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement. The Skyline Note is guaranteed by Joseph Schwartz and Roselyn Schwartz (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated September 30, 2016 (the “Guaranty”), executed by the Guarantors in favor of the Company (see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 10 – Acquisitions and Dispositions included in the Annual Report).

In connection with the closing of the sale of the Arkansas Facilities, the Company entered into a Subordination and Standstill Agreement, dated September 26, 2016 (the “Subordination Agreement”), with CIBC (formerly the PrivateBank and Trust Company), as agent for the lenders specified therein (collectively, the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, the Company agreed to subordinate its claims and rights to receive payment under the Skyline Note or any document which may evidence or secure the indebtedness evidenced by such note, other than the Guaranty (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”), to the claims and rights of the Lenders to receive payment under certain revolving loans, with an initial aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million, and certain term loans, with an aggregate principal amount of $45.6 million (collectively, the “Loans”), each extended by certain of the Lenders to affiliates of Skyline (collectively, the “Skyline Borrowers”). Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, the Company may not accept payment of the Subordinated Debt, or take any action to collect

16


 

such payment, if: (i) the Company has received notice from the Lenders that the Sky line Borrowers have failed to meet a specified financial covenant with respect to the Loans; or (ii) a default has occurred or is continuing with respect to the Loans. Pursuant to the Guaranty, the Guarantors have agreed to pay the outstanding principal am ount of the Skyline Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest: (x) on the date on which the Skyline Borrowers or an affiliate thereof repays or refinances any of the Loans; (y) on the date on which the Skyline Borrowers or its affiliates sells an y of the Arkansas Facilities which the Skyline Borrowers or its affiliates purchased with proceeds from the Loans; or (z) upon written notice from the Company to the Guarantors any time on or after the two year anniversary of the Skyline Note. As of the da te of filing, the Company has not received written notice from the Lenders regarding conditions prohibiting repayment of the Skyline Note.

On April 24, 2018, Skyline entered into a management contract with a third-party to manage the Arkansas Facilities. The Company is negotiating an arrangement with such third-party, pursuant to which the Company would: (i) accept a cash payment from such third-party, within the next few months, in full satisfaction of the Skyline Note at a discount from the full amount outstanding thereunder, and (ii) agree to release the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty. The Company estimates the recoverable amount of the Skyline Note to be in the range of $0.5 million to $2.5 million. Consequently, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded an allowance of $0.5 million on the Skyline Note. On March 31, 2018, the net balance of the Skyline Note was $2.5 million. In the course of on-going negotiations, as additional facts are known, additional losses on the Skyline Note may be incurred.

Beacon. On August 1, 2015, the Company entered into a lease inducement fee agreement with certain affiliates (collectively, the "Beacon Affiliates") of Beacon Health Management, LLC (“Beacon”), pursuant to which the Company paid a fee of $0.6 million as a lease inducement for certain Beacon Affiliates (collectively “Beacon Sublessee”) to enter into sublease agreements and to commence such subleases and transfer operations thereunder (the “Beacon Lease Inducement”). As of March 31, 2018 the balance of the Beacon Lease Inducement was approximately $0.5 million. On April 24, 2018, five Beacon affiliates (the “Ohio Beacon Affiliates”) informed the Company in writing that they would no longer be operating five (four owned and one leased by the Company) of the Company’s facilities located in Ohio (the “Ohio Beacon Facilities”) and that they would surrender operation of such facilities to the Company on June 30, 2018. Consequently, the Company is recognizing revenue on a cash basis with respect to the Ohio Beacon Facilities and has expensed approximately $0.7 million straight-line rent asset and recorded an allowance of $0.5 million against the Beacon Lease Inducement and $0.3 million allowance for other receivables (see Note 15- Subsequent Events) .

Peach Health. On June 18, 2016, the Company entered into a master sublease agreement (the “Peach Health Sublease”) with affiliates (collectively, “Peach Health Sublessee”) of Peach Health Group, LLC (“Peach Health”), providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of and operate the three facilities located in Georgia (the “Peach Facilities”) as subtenant. The Peach Facilities are comprised of: (i) an 85-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Oceanside Facility”); (ii) a 50-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Savannah Beach Facility”); and (iii) a 131-bed skilled nursing facility located in Jeffersonville, Georgia (the “Jeffersonville Facility”). The Jeffersonville Facility and the Oceanside Facility were previously decertified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) in February and May 2016, respectively, for deficiencies related to the operations and maintenance of the facility while operated by the previous sublessee. The Jeffersonville Facility and the Oceanside Facility (the “Peach Recertified Facilities”) were recertified by CMS as of December 20, 2016 and February 7, 2017, respectively, which are the rent commencement dates for such facilities. The lease provided for a period of de minimis rent and base rent discounted by 50%.

On March 30, 2018 the Company and Peach Health Sublessee entered into an amendment to the Peach Health Sublease.  The amendment provides for: (i) additional four and six month periods of base rent of $37,080 and $54,590, discounted by 50%, which rate continued through March 1, 2018, for the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility, respectively and (ii) beginning April 1, 2018 provides for additional rent payment amounts of $2,500 and $3,400 per month for the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility, respectively. The additional rent for each of the Peach Facilities will escalate at a rate of 3% each year on April 1 st of each remaining year of the term, and any extension thereof.

In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company extended a line of credit to Peach Health Sublessee for up to $1.0 million for operations at the Peach Facilities (the “Peach Line”), with interest accruing on the unpaid balance under the Peach Line at a starting interest rate of 13.5%, which increases by 1% per annum. The entire principal amount due under the Peach Line, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, was due one year from the date of the first disbursement. The Peach Line was secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable. On April 6, 2017, the Company modified certain terms of the Peach Line in connection with Peach Health Sublessee securing a $2.5 million revolving working capital loan from a third party lender (the “Peach Working Capital Facility”), subsequently capped at $1.75 million, which matures April 5, 2020.  The Peach Working Capital Facility is secured by the eligible accounts receivable, and all the collections on the eligible accounts receivable are remitted to a lockbox controlled by the lender. The modifications of the Peach Line include (as so amended, the “Peach Note”): (i) reducing the loan balance to $0.8 million and restricting

17


 

further borrowings; (ii) extending the maturity of the loan to October 1, 2020 and adding a six month extension option by Peach Health Sublesse e, assuming certain conditions precedent are met at the time of the exercise of the option; (iii) increasing the interest rate from 13.5% per annum by 1% per annum; and (iv) establishing a four year amortization schedule. Payment of principal and interest under the Peach Note is governed by certain financial covenants limiting distributions under the Peach Working Capital Facility. Furthermore, the Company guaranteed Peach Health Sublessee’s borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility subject to cer tain burn-off provisions (i.e., the Company’s obligations under such guaranty cease after the later of 18 months or achievement of a certain financial ratio by Peach Health Sublessee). The Company is obligated to pay the outstanding balance on the Peach Wo rking Capital Facility (after application of all eligible accounts receivable collections by the lender) if Peach Health Sublessee fails to comply with the Peach Working Capital Facility obligations and covenants. Fair value of the liability using the expe cted present value approach is immaterial.

At March 31, 2018, there was approximately $1.0 million outstanding on the Peach Note.

*Excludes 3% finance fee due upon maturity

The maturity date of the Pinecone Credit Facility is August 15, 2020 and bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 10% per annum for the first three months after the Closing Date and at a fixed rate equal to 12.5% per annum thereafter, subject to adjustment upon an event of default and specified regulatory events. The Pinecone Credit Facility is secured by, among other things, first priority liens on the Facilities and all tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers owning the Facilities, including all rent payments received from the operators thereof.  Beginning March 1, 2018, the first payment date, accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Pinecone Credit Facility is payable in consecutive monthly installments. The entire unpaid principal amount of the Pinecone Credit Facility is due on the maturity date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and a finance fee equal to 3% of the original principal amount.

21


 

The Pinecone Credit Facility is subject to customary operating and financial covenants and regulatory conditions for each of the Facilities, which could result in additional mon thly interest charges during any non-compliance and cure period. The Pinecone Credit Facility is prepayable in full beginning on the date that is thirteen months after the Closing Date, subject to the payment of a specified finance fee and, with respect to any prepayment made between March 15, 2019 and September 15, 2019, a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the principal amount being repaid. A specified early termination fee is payable in the event any amount is prepaid (in whole or in part) or is accelerat ed on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Pinecone Credit Facility and the related documentation provide for customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Pinecone may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under the Pinecone Credit Facility, together with all accrued interest and other amounts payable, immediately due and payable.

On May 10, 2018, management was notified by Pinecone that the Company was in default on a number of administrative items as outlined in the Pinecone Credit Facility, consequently the fixed interest rate will be equal to 13.5% commencing May 18, 2018. For further information, see Note 3 Liquidity and Note 15 – Subsequent Events.

Debt Covenant Compliance

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had approximately 23 credit related instruments outstanding that include various financial and administrative covenant requirements. Covenant requirements include, but are not limited to, fixed charge coverage ratios, debt service coverage ratios, minimum EBITDA or EBITDAR, and current ratios. Certain financial covenant requirements are based on consolidated financial measurements whereas others are based on measurements at the subsidiary level (i.e., facility, multiple facilities or a combination of subsidiaries).  The subsidiary level requirements are as follows: (i) financial covenants measured against subsidiaries of the Company; and (ii) financial covenants measured against third-party operator performance. Some covenants are based on annual financial metric measurements whereas others are based on monthly and quarterly financial metric measurements. The Company routinely tracks and monitors its compliance with its covenant requirements.

The Company was not in compliance with various non-financial covenants and the combined fixed charge coverage ratio required under the Pinecone Credit Facility as of March 31, 2018. The Pinecone Credit Facility requires the Company maintain a combined fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2, and the Company’s combined fixed charge coverage ratio was equal to 1.1 as of March 31, 2018. On May 18, 2018 the Company entered into the Forbearance Agreement, pursuant to which Pinecone granted a waiver with respect to such covenant violations. For further information see Note 3 – Liquidity and Note 15 – Subsequent Events.

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

Common and Preferred Stock Repurchase Activity

In November 2016, the Board approved two share repurchase programs (collectively, the "November 2016 Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which management was authorized to repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of the common stock and 100,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock during a twelve-month period. Share repurchases under the November 2016 Repurchase Program could be made from time to time through open market transactions, block trades or privately negotiated transactions and were subject to market conditions, as well as corporate, regulatory and other considerations. The Company could suspend or continue the November 2016 Repurchase Program at any time and had no obligation to repurchase any amount of the common stock or the Series A Preferred Stock under such program. The November 2016 Repurchase Program was suspended in February 2017.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company repurchased 118,199 shares of the common stock pursuant to the November 2016 Repurchase Program for $0.2 million at an average price of $1.54 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees, and made no repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the Company made no repurchases of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Preferred Stock Offerings and Dividends

No dividends were declared or paid on the Series A Preferred Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Dividends declared and paid on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were $0.68 per share per quarter, or $1.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2018, as a result of the suspension of the dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock for the fourth quarter 2017 and first quarter 2018, the Company has $3.8 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears, $1.9 million per quarter.  Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board out of funds of the Company legally available for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash dividends at an annual rate equal to 10.875% of the $25.00 per share stated liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, which is equivalent to an annual rate of $2.72 per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, of each year, although the Board has suspended dividend payments for the fourth quarter 2017 and first quarter 2018 dividend periods. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall continue to accrue and accumulate regardless of whether such dividends are declared by the Board.  If the Company fails to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for any four consecutive or non-consecutive dividends periods, then (i) the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock will be increased to 12.875%, commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash; and (ii) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote, as a single class, for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Board.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had 2,811,535 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights but have limited voting rights under certain circumstances. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

Stock Incentive Plan

The AdCare Health Systems, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Stock Incentive Plan”), was assumed by Regional Health pursuant to the Merger.  As a result of the Merger, all rights to acquire shares of AdCare common stock under any AdCare equity incentive compensation plan have been converted into rights to acquire Regional Health common stock pursuant to the terms of the equity incentive compensation plans and other related documents, if any.  The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan expires March 28, 2021 and provides for a maximum of 2,027,393 shares of common stock to be issued. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of incentive or nonqualified stock options and the granting of restricted stock. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board. The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the employees to whom awards will be made, the amounts of the awards, and the other terms and conditions of the awards. As of March 31, 2018, the number of securities remaining available for future issuance is 723,530.

In addition to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company grants stock warrants to officers, directors, employees and certain consultants to the Company from time to time as determined by the Board and, when appropriate, the Compensation Committee.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , there were no issuances of common stock options or warrants.

NOTE 13.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory Matters

Laws and regulations governing federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from certain governmental programs. As of March 31, 2018, all of the Company’s facilities leased and subleased to third-party operators and managed for third-parties are certified by CMS and operational (see Note 7 - Leases ).

Legal Matters

The Company is party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and is subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to the patients of the Company’s facilities and claims related to professional and general negligence, employment, staffing requirements and commercial matters. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters, there is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company previously operated, and the Company’s tenants now operate, in an industry that is extremely regulated. As such, in the ordinary course of business, the Company’s tenants 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, 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 the Company, for the Company’s prior operations, or the Company’s tenants, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Professional and General Liability Claims . As of March 31, 2018, the Company is a defendant in 34 professional and general liability actions commenced on behalf of former patients. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. As of March 31, 2018, 22 of such actions were filed in the State of Arkansas by the same plaintiff attorney who represented the plaintiffs in a purported class action lawsuit against the Company previously disclosed as the Amy Cleveland Class Action (which settled in December 2015), and such 22 actions were subject to a settlement in principle as discussed below, subject to approval of the probate court. Of the original 25 actions subject to the settlement in principle, the probate court approved settlements with respect to three of such actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and approved settlements with respect to 15 of such actions subsequent to March 31, 2018. Of the 12 actions not subject to settlement in principle, two of such pending actions are covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage.  

On March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a separate mediation settlement agreement with respect to each of the original 25 actions (22 such actions remaining subject to settlement in principle, at March 31, 2018), filed in the State of Arkansas relating to the settlement in principle of such actions, subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions. Each mediation settlement agreement provides for payment by the Company of a specified settlement amount, which settlement amount with respect to each action was deposited into the mediator’s trust account. The aggregate settlement amount, for all such 25 actions before related insurance proceeds is $5.2 million. The settlement of each such action must be individually approved by the probate court, and the settlement of one action is not conditioned upon receipt of the probate court’s approval with respect the settlement of any other action. Upon the probate court approving, with respect to a particular action, the settlement and an executed settlement and release agreement, the settlement amount with respect to such action will be disbursed to the plaintiff’s counsel. Under the settlement and release agreement with respect to a particular action, the Company will be released from any and all claims arising out of the applicable plaintiff’s care while the plaintiff was a resident of one of the Company’s facilities.

In connection with a dispute between the Company and the Company’s former commercial liability insurance provider regarding, among other things, the Company’s insurance coverage with respect to the 25 actions filed in the State of Arkansas, the former insurer filed a complaint in May 2016 against the Company seeking, among other things, a determination that the former insurer had properly exhausted the limits of liability of certain of the Company’s insurance policies issued by the former insurer, and the Company subsequently filed a counterclaim against the former insurer regarding such matters (collectively, the “Coverage Litigation”).  On March 12, 2018, the former insurer and the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the

26


 

“Coverage Settlement Agreement”), providing for, among other things, a settlement payment by the former insurer in the amount of approximately $2.8 million, (the “Insurance Settlement Amo unt”), the dismissal with prejudice of the Coverage Litigation, a customary release of claims by the former insurer and the Company, and agreement that that the former insurer has exhausted the policies’ respective limits of liability and has no further ob ligations under the policies. Pursuant to the Coverage Settlement Agreement: (i) on March 16, 2018, the former insurer deposited the Insurance Settlement Amount into the trust account of the mediator with respect to the 25 actions; and (ii) on March 20, 20 18, the former insurer and the Company caused the Coverage Litigation, including the counterclaim, to be dismissed with prejudice.

Assuming, and subject to, the approval by the probate court of the settlement of each of the original 25 actions filed in the State of Arkansas and related matters, and the satisfaction of the other conditions with respect thereto, the Company will pay, net of the Insurance Settlement Amount, an aggregate of approximately $2.4 million in settlement of such actions. The probate court approved settlements with respect to three of the 25 Arkansas actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and approved settlements with respect to 15 of the 25 actions subsequent to March 31, 2018, and approximately $0.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, was paid from the mediator’s trust account in such settlements. The Company gives no assurance that the probate court will approve the settlement of the remaining 7 Arkansas actions pending approval or that the other conditions to such settlements will be satisfied, or that such actions will be settled on the terms described herein or at all.

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company settled four professional and general liability actions (other than those subject to mediation settlement agreements as discussed above) for the total of $670,000. A majority of the settlements include payment terms greater than one year.  

The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included  within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $2.4 million and $5.1 million at March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. Additionally as of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, $0.1 and $0.2 million respectively, was reserved for settlement amounts in “Other liabilities”, and $0.6 million and $0.5 million in “Accounts payable” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively. For additional information regarding the Company’s self-insurance reserve, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies included in the Annual Report.

Aria Bankruptcy Proceeding . On May 31, 2016, Highlands Arkansas Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Aria (“HAH”) and nine affiliates of HAH (collectively with HAH, the “Debtors”), filed petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Following venue transfer from the Delaware court, these cases are pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

On July 17, 2015, the Company made a short-term loan to HAH, for working capital purposes, and, in connection therewith, HAH executed a promissory note (the “HAH Note”) in favor of the Company. Since July 17, 2015, the HAH Note has been amended from time to time and currently has an outstanding principal balance of $1.0 million that matured on December 31, 2015. On October 6, 2015, HAH and the Company entered into a security agreement, whereby HAH granted the Company a security interest in all accounts arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees, and all rights to payment from patients, residents, private insurers and others arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees (including any proceeds thereof), as security for payment of the HAH Note, as amended, and certain rent and security deposit obligations of the Aria Sublessees under Aria Subleases.

On April 21, 2017, the Company moved for relief from the automatic stay seeking release of its collateral, the Debtors’ accounts and their proceeds, the value of which the trustee has represented as a total of approximately $0.8 million. The Company’s motion was opposed by the Chapter 7 trustee and another creditor in May 2017.  In its objection, the Chapter 7 trustee asserts that the Company is not entitled to any of the $0.8 million with respect to the HAH Note. Discovery with respect to the motion is ongoing and the matter is currently not on the calendar. In addition to opposing the Company’s claim to the $0.8 million, the Chapter 7 trustee has also indicated he was investigating avoidance claims against the Company with respect to funds the Company received from the Debtors prior to the bankruptcy filings. On March 28, 2018, such avoidance case was filed, requesting relief in an amount of $4.7 million, which the Company believes to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against. For the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company has charged approximately $0.6 million to bad debt expense on the HAH Note. The Company believes it acted in good faith and as it is the only secured creditor believes that the remaining balance on the HAH Note is collectible. There is no guarantee that the bankruptcy court will approve repayment of the HAH Note to the Company or that the Company will prevail in the avoidance action that has been filed against it.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the SEC. The following is a summary of the material subsequent events.

 

Forbearance Agreement

On May 18, 2018, (“the Forbearance Date”), the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement in association with the Pinecone Credit Facility, whereby the Company was notified of certain events of default under the loan agreements of the Pinecone Credit Facility. Such Forbearance Agreement outlines a plan of correction whereby the Company may regain compliance under its obligations pertaining to the loan documents of the Pinecone Credit Facility, through a forbearance period ending July 20, 2018. Some requirements outlined in the Forbearance Agreement include, among other items, the hiring of a special consultant to advise Management on operational improvements and to assist in coordinating overall company strategy. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Credit Facility.  Such amendments, among other things: (i) eliminate the Company’s obligation to complete the Lease Assignments; (ii) require the payment of a specified “break-up fee” upon certain events, including prepayment of the Pinecone Credit Facility or a change of control; (iii) increase the ongoing interest rate from 12.5% per annum to 13.5% effective May 18, 2018, and (iii) increase the outstanding principal balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility by 2.5%, as of the Forbearance Date.

 

Notification of Potential Employer Shared Responsibility Payment

On April 2, 2018, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), on Letter 226-J, that the Company may be liable for an Employer Shared Responsibility Payment (“ESRP”) in the amount of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The ESRP is applicable to employers that had 50 or more full-time equivalent employees, did not offer minimum essential coverage (“MEC”) to at least 70% of full-time employees (and their dependents) or did offer MEC to at least 70% of full time-employees (and their dependents), which did not meet the affordable or minimum value criteria and had one or more employees who claimed the Employee Premium Tax Credit (“PTC”) pursuant to the Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”). The IRS determines which employers receive Letter 226-J and the amount of the proposed ESRP from information that the employers complete on their information returns (IRS Forms 1094-C and 1095-C ) and from the income tax returns of their employees. The letter indicated that none of the Company’s employees claimed the PTC. The Company engaged third party providers to assist the Company with complying with the provisions of the ACA for the year ended December 31, 2015 to ensure the Company offered plans that would not require ESRP. On April 10, 2018 the Company responded to the IRS with appropriate documentation to prove the Company has no ESRP liability, and on May 8, 2018 the Company received written confirmation from the IRS that is in agreement with the Company’s findings.

Extension of Quail Creek Credit Facility

On April 30, 2018, the Company extended the maturity date of the Quail Creek Credit Facility to April 30, 2019. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance or further extend the maturity date of the Quail Creek Credit Facility on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all.

Notice of Facility Surrender by Tenants

On April 24, 2018, the Company received notice from five of its Ohio facility tenants, affiliated with Beacon, that they will be vacating the Company’s properties on June 30, 2018. The Company intends to enforce its rights under the applicable sublease agreements for such five facilities and pursue all remedies available to it under such sublease agreements and applicable law. Consequently the Company is recognizing revenue on a cash basis and has expensed approximately $0.7 million of straight-line rent asset and recorded an allowance of $0.5 million against the Beacon Lease Inducement and $0.3 million for other receivables. The Company is in negotiations with new tenant operators for such facilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis we review our judgments and estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to doubtful accounts, income taxes, stock compensation, intangible assets and loss contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, business knowledge and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates. These estimates are evaluated by management and revised as circumstances change.

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company see Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Rental Revenues —Rental revenue decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 1.2%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $5.8 million for the same period in 2017.  The decrease reflects the reduced payment of rent we received from the Ohio Beacon Affiliates, who have notified us of their intention to vacate our facilities on June 30, 2018. The Company recognizes all rental revenues on a straight line rent accrual basis, except with respect to the Ohio Beacon Affiliates and the Oceanside Facility prior to recertification (which was recertified by CMS, in February 2017), for which rental revenue is recognized based on cash received.

33


 

Facility Rent Expense —Facility rent expense was $ 2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and $2.2 million for the same period in 2017. For further information, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 7 – Leases , included in the Annual Report and Note 7 Lease s to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report.

Depreciation and Amortization —Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.1 million, or 7.6%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $1.1 million for the same period in 2017. The increase is due to amortization of the lease intangible related to the assisted living and memory care community with 106 operational beds in Glencoe, Alabama that we purchased in May 2017, which will be fully amortized in May 2018.  

General and Administrative —General and administrative costs decreased by $0.5 million, or 39.2%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $1.4 million for the same period in 2017. The net decrease is due to a continued reduction in overhead and specifically the following: (i) a decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits expense of approximately $0.2 million and (ii) a decrease in legal, contract services, IT, insurance and other expenses of approximately $0.3 million.

Provision for doubtful accounts —Provision for doubtful accounts expense increased by approximately $1.4 million, to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $0.5 million for the same period in 2017. The increase is due to the Ohio Beacon Affiliates notifying the Company of their plan to cease operating our properties on June 30, 2018 and in addition the Company has also recorded an allowance of approximately $0.5 million on the $3.0 million Skyline Note.

Other operating expenses —Other operating expenses increased by $0.2 million, to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $0.1 million for the same period in 2017. The increase is due to an accrual for $0.3 million in property taxes associated with the Ohio Beacon Affiliates notifying the Company of their plan to cease operating our properties on June 30, 2018, offset by $0.1 million in lower professional and general legal expenses and workers’ compensation expenses.

Interest Expense, Net —Interest expense increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 23.5%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $1.0 million for the same period in 2017. The increase is mainly due the net increase of debt principal year over year of approximately $6.3 million and approximately $1.0 million in capitalized deferred financing. The $16.25 million Pinecone Credit Facility, increased debt by approximately $7.5 million from February 15, 2018, which was partially offset by the repayment of $6.7 million in convertible debt in the prior year and $1.5 million repayment of convertible debt during the current quarter. The increase in interest is approximately $0.1 million for amortization of deferred financing and approximately $0.1 million due to interest.

Loss from Debt Extinguishment —The loss from debt extinguishment increased by approximately $0.3 million, to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $0.1 million for the same period in 2017. The increase is due to pre-payment penalties of $0.2 million and $0.2 million in expensed deferred financing fees from the repayment of debt in connection with the Pinecone Credit Facility.

Loss from Discontinued Operations —The loss from discontinued operations decreased by $0.3 million, or 86.7%, to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $0.4 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease is primarily due to lower bad debt expense, professional and general legal expenses and collection activity expenses.

Other Expenses —Other expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 90.5%, to $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $0.1 million for the same period in 2017. The prior period charge was related to expenses for the Merger.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and debt refinancing. At March 31, 2018, the Company had $3.5 million in unrestricted cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of $0.7 million and anticipates continued positive cash flow from operations in the future. The Board suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock for the fourth quarter 2017 and the first quarter 2018 dividend periods. The Board plans to revisit the dividend payment policy with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock in the second quarter of 2018.  The Board believes that the dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional funds to meet its ongoing liquidity needs.

On February 15, 2018, the Company entered into a debt refinancing with Pinecone, with an aggregate principal amount of $16.25 million, that refinanced existing mortgage debt in an aggregate amount of $8.7 million on three skilled nursing properties, and provided additional surplus cash flow of $6.3 million. The surplus cash flow from the Pinecone Credit Facility was used to deposit $2.4 million of cash into escrow to fund self-insurance reserves for professional and general liability claims

34


 

with respect to 25 professional and general liability actions (included within current liabilities), and to fund repayment of $1.5 million in convertible debt.

On May 18, 2018, (“the Forbearance Date”), the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement in association with the Pinecone Credit Facility, whereby the Company was notified of certain events of default under the loan agreements of the Pinecone Credit Facility. Such Forbearance Agreement outlines a plan of correction whereby the Company may regain compliance under its obligations pertaining to the loan documents of the Pinecone Credit Facility, through a forbearance period ending July 20, 2018. Some requirements outlined in the Forbearance Agreement include, among other items: (i) the hiring of a special consultant to advise Management on operational improvements and to assist in coordinating overall company strategy, (ii) increase the ongoing interest rate to 13.5% effective May 18, 2018, and (iii) increase the outstanding principal balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility by 2.5%, as of the Forbearance Date.

If the Company is able comply with the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, and Pinecone does not exercise rights or remedies against the Company on account of any event of default, then given current funds on hand and expected future cash flow from operations, management believes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course, of business for a period of at least the next 12 months. Management's belief assumes that the Company will continue to be successful in implementing its business strategy and achieving forecasted results and that there will be no further material adverse developments in the Company’s business, liquidity or capital requirements.

The Company expects to use cash from operations, restricted replacement reserves and borrowings to: (i) invest in the Company’s existing property portfolio, (ii) resolve our 12 outstanding legal actions, and (iii) refinance or repay debt to minimize the average weighted cost of capital.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our interim Chief Executive Officer and interim 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

36


 

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 interim Chief Executive Officer and interim 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”).

Part II.  Oth er Information

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

The Company is a defendant in various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to patients. Although the Company settles cases from time to time when settlement can be achieved on a reasonable basis, the Company vigorously defends any matter in which it believes the claims lack merit and the Company has a reasonable chance to prevail at trial or in arbitration. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and there is risk in the Company's strategy of aggressively defending these cases. There is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Although arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business, certain of these matters are described below under "Professional and General Liability Claims."

Except as set forth in this Item 1., Legal Proceedings, there have been no new material legal proceedings and no material developments in the legal proceedings reported in Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Annual Report. For additional information with respect to legal proceedings, also see Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report.

Professional and General Liability Claims. As of March 31, 2018, the Company is a defendant in 34 professional and general liability actions commenced on behalf of former patients. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly i njured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. Twenty-two of these actions were filed in the State of Arkansas by the same plaintiff attorney who represented the plaintiffs in a purporte d class action lawsuit against the Company previously disclosed as the Amy Cleveland Class Action ( which settled in December 2015) and such 22 actions are subject to a settlement in principle as discussed below. Of the 12 not subject to settlement in principle: (i) two of such actions are covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage; and (ii) three of such actions relate to events which occurred after the Company transitioned the operations of the facilities in question to a third-party operator and which are subject to such operators’ indemnification obligations in favor of the Company. These remaining 12 actions are in various stages of discovery, and the Company intends to vigorously defend such actions, where economically favorable to the Company.  

On March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a separate mediation settlement agreement with respect to each of the original 25 actions (22 such actions remaining subject to settlement in principle, at Marc h 31, 2018), filed in the State of Arkansas, relating to the settlement in principle of each such action, subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions. Each mediation settlement agreement provides for payment by the Company of a specified settlement amount, which settlement amount with respect to each action has been deposited into the mediator’s trust account.  The action must be individually approved by the probate court, and the settlement of one action is not conditioned upon receipt of the probate court’s approval with respect the settlement of any other action. Upon the probate court approving, with respect to a particular action, the settlement and an executed settlement and release agreement, the settlement amount with respect to such action will be disbursed to the plaintiff’s counsel.  Under the settlement and release agreement with respect to a particular action, the Company will be released from any and all claims arising out of the applicable plaintiff’s care while the plaintiff wa s a resident of one of the Company’s facilities. Of the original 25 actions subject to the settlement in principle, the probate court approved settlements with respect to three of such actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and approved settlements with respect to 15 of such subsequent to March 31, 2018.

In connection with the Coverage Litigation between the Company and the Company’s former commercial liability insurance provider regarding, among other things, the Company’s insurance coverage with respect to the 25 actions filed in the State of Arkansas, the former insurer and the Company entered into the Coverage Settlement Agreement on March 12, 2018, providing for, among other things, Insurance Settlement Amount by the former insurer in the amount of approximately $2.8 million, the dismissal with prejudice of the Coverage Litigation, a customary release of claims by the former insurer and the Company, and agreement that that the former insurer has exhausted the policies’ respective limits of liability and has no further obligations under the policies. Pursuant to the Coverage Settlement Agreement: (i) on March 16, 2018, the former insurer deposited the Insurance Settlement Amount into the trust account of the mediator with respect to the 25 actions; and (ii) on March 20, 2018, the former insurer and the Company caused the Coverage Litigation, including the counterclaim, to be dismissed with prejudice.

38


 

Assuming, and subject to, the approval by the probate court of the settlement of each of the origi nal 25 actions filed in the State of Arkansas and related matters, and the satisfaction of the other conditions with respect thereto, the Company will pay, net of the Insurance Settlement Amount, an aggregate of approximately $2.4 million in settlement of such actions. The probate court approved settlements with respect to three of the 25 Arkansas actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and approved settlements with respect to 15 of the 25 Arkansas actions after March 31, 2018, and approximately $0. 5 million and $3.3 million, respectively , was paid from the mediator’s trust account in such settlements . The Company gives no assurance that the probate court will approve the settlement of the remaining 7 Arkansas actions pending approval or that the oth er conditions to such settlements will be satisfied, or that such actions will be settled on the terms described herein or at all.

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company settled four previously disclosed professional and general liability actions (othe r than those subject to mediation settlement agreements as discussed above) for the total of $670,000. A majority of the settlements include payment terms greater than one year.  

The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations. The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $2.4 million and $5.1 million at March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. Additionally, as of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, $0.1 and $0.2 million respectively, was reserved for settlement amounts in “Other liabilities”, and $0.6 and $0.5 million in “Accounts payable” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively. For additional information regarding the Company’s self-insurance reserve, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies included in the Annual Report.

The Company believes that most of the professional and general liability actions are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgement unless settlement is more advantageous to the Company.  Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company’s estimate of settlement amounts for the pending actions, as appropriate and legal costs of settling or litigating the pending actions, as applicable.

Aria Avoidance Claims. On March 28, 2018, the C hapter 7 bankruptcy trustee in the Aria bankruptcy proceeding, together with an unsecured creditor, filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas an avoidance claim, in the amount of $4.7 million, against the Company seeking to recover funds the Company received from the Debtors in the Aria bankruptcy proceeding (Highlands Arkansas Holdings, LLC, and nine of its affiliates, Highland of Stamps, LLC; Highlands of Rogers Dixieland, LLC; Highlands of North Little Rock John Ashley, LLC; Highlands of Mountain View SNF, LLC; Highlands of Mountain View RCF, LLC; Highlands of Little Rock West Markham, LLC; Highlands of Little Rock South Cumberland, LLC; Highlands of Little Rock Riley, LLC; and Highlands of Fort Smith, LLC) prior to the bankruptcy filings. The Company believes that this action is defensible and intends to defend through final judgement. There is no guarantee that the Company will prevail in the avoidance action that has been filed against it.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

We depend on affiliates of C.R Management and Beacon Health Management for a significant portion of our revenues and any inability or unwillingness by such entities to satisfy their obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our 27 properties (excluding the three facilities that are managed by us) are operated by a total of 27 separate tenants, with each of our tenants being affiliated with one of six local or regionally-focused operators. We refer to our tenants who are affiliated with the same operator as a group of affiliated tenants. Each of our operators operate (through a group of affiliated tenants) between two and eight of our facilities, with our most significant operators, C.R Management and Beacon Health Management, each operating (through a group of affiliated tenants) eight and seven facilities, respectively, as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report. We, therefore, depend, on tenants who are affiliated with C.R Management and Beacon Health Management for a significant portion of our revenues. Recently, the Company was notified by five of the tenants affiliated with Beacon Health Management affiliates, who each of whom are one month in arrears on rental payments after application of the applicable lease deposit, that they can no longer operate five of our facilities located in Ohio and will surrender the respective properties facilities on June 30, 2018. See Note 15 – Subsequent Events , to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report.

Although we are currently in negotiations with suitably qualified replacement operators to take possession of the five Ohio facilities on July 1, 2018, there is no assurance that we will be able to execute new leases with respect to such facilities on substantially equivalent terms to the sublease agreements for such facilities which we entered into with the Ohio Beacon affiliates or at all or that, if new leases are executed, the new tenants will be able to take possession of such facilities on July 1, 2018. We intend to enforce our rights under the sublease agreements for such facilities which we entered into with the Ohio Beacon affiliates and pursue all remedies available to us under such sublease agreements and applicable law.

39


 

We cannot assure you that the tenants affiliated with C.R Management and Beacon will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to make rental payments to us or to otherwise satisfy their obligations under the applic able leases and subleases, and any inability or unwillingness by such tenants to do so could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

We depend on Pinecone not to call the entire principal balance, plus interest and fees of the Pinecone Credit Facility in the event the Company is unable to comply with all benchmarks as outlined in the Forbearance Agreement.

 

On May 10, 2018, management was notified by one of the Company’s lenders, Pinecone that the Company was in default on a number of administrative items as outlined in the Pinecone Credit Facility. Management also informed Pinecone that the Company had failed to meet one of its financial covenant obligations, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as outlined in the loan agreement to the Pinecone Credit Facility for the period ended March 31, 2018.

 

In order to alleviate such defaults, on May 18, 2018, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Pinecone (the “Forbearance Agreement”), in which, Pinecone provides a timeline and a number of remedies available to cure all default items and to regain compliance under the Pinecone Credit Facility. The forbearance period is from May 18, 2018, the date of the execution of the Forbearance Agreement, to July 20, 2018, during which time, the Company must comply with all benchmarks as outlined in the Forbearance Agreement. Management believes that the overall plan of correction as outlined in the Forbearance Agreement is achievable, however many of the benchmarks, as articulated in the Forbearance Agreement, fall outside of the control of management, and if the Company is unable to satisfy the requirements as outlined, then one of the remedies available to Pinecone is that the entire principal balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility, plus interest and fees, will become immediately due and payable, indicating that substantial doubt exists about whether or not the Company will be able to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to cure all of the deficiencies as listed in the Forbearance Agreement or that the Company will be able to continue to comply with all of the various covenants as required by the loan agreement of the Pinecone Credit Facility. The Company’s ability to cure its non-compliance with the Pinecone Credit Facility depends, in part, on its ability to work with outside parties, which is not within the Company’s exclusive control. If Pinecone were to call the balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility for any reason, and the Company were unable to cure such deficiency, it could have a material adverse consequence on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company plans to continue to undertake measures to refinance certain loans and to streamline its cost infrastructure. But due to the inherent risks, unknown results and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters and the direct correlation between these matters and the Company’s ability to satisfy its financial obligations that may arise over the applicable one-year period, the Company is unable to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.

For a d etailed description of certain risk factors that could affect our business, operations and financial condition, see Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors, included in the Annual Report. The risk factors described in the Annual Report and this Quarterly Report. The risk factors described in the Annual Report (“Risk Factors”) do not describe all risks applicable to our business, and we intend it only as a summary of certain material factors. The Risk Factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report because the Risk Factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock could decline.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3.

Defau lts upon Senior Securities.

The Board suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock for the fourth quarter 2017 and the first quarter 2018 dividend periods, and no dividends were declared or paid with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock for such dividend periods.  As a result of such suspension, the Company has $3.8 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report. See Note 11– Common and Preferred Stock – “Preferred Stock Offerings and Dividends , to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report.

Item 4.

Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5.

Other Information.

On May 18, 2018, the Company and Pinecone entered into the Forbearance Agreement, pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Forbearance Agreement, to forbear from exercising certain rights a nd remedies with respect to specified events of default under the Pinecone Credit Facility. Such events of default include, among other things: (i) the failure of a certain wholly-owned subsidiary (the “New Guarantor”) of the Company to assign certain oper ating leases required to be assigned by such subsidiary to certain other subsidiaries of the Company (the “Lease Assignments”); (ii) failure to deliver certain reports, notices and certificates required under the Pinecone Credit Facility; (iii) failure to obtain Pinecone’s prior written consent with respect to a certain lease amendment; (iv) certain inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made by the Company under the Pinecone Credit Facility; (v) certain healthcare regulatory matters with respect to two of the Company’s facilities; (vi) failure to comply with certain post-closing obligations under the Pinecone Credit Facility; and (vii) certain defaults by tenants of the Company under the applicable lease or sublease with the Company, which defaults constitute events of default under the Pinecone Credit Facility.   

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Credit Facility.  Such amendments, among other things: (i) eliminate the Company’s obligation to complete the Lease Assignments; (ii) require the payment of a specified “break-up fee” upon certain events, including prepayment of the Pinecone Credit Facility or a change of control; (iii) increase the ongoing interest rate from 12.5% per annum to 13.5% per annum; and (iv) increase the outstanding principal balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility by 2.5%.

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement , the New Guarantor entered into a guaranty agreement for the benefit of Pinecone, pursuant to which the New Guarantor agreed to guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Pinecone Credit Facility.  In connection therewith, the New Guarantor executed shall execute a pledge agreement in favor of Pinecone, pursuant to which the New Guarantor pledged the equity interests in the New Guarantor’s subsidiaries as security for the New Guarantor’s obligations under such guaranty.

The Forbearance Agreement outlines a plan of correction whereby the Company may regain compliance under the Pinecone Credit Facility during the Forbearance Period.  Among other things, the Company is required to complete certain post-closing actions required under the Pinecone Credit Facility no later than June 4, 2018 and to hire a consultant, acceptable to Pinecone and the Company, to advise management on operational improvements and to assist in coordinating overall company strategy.  The Company is also required to obtain Pinecone’s prior written consent prior to paying dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and to increase the outstanding principal balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility by 2.5%. For additional information regarding the Company’s liquidity, see Note 3 – Liquidity and Note 15 – Subsequent Events , to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

This GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “ Guaranty ”) is made as of May 18, 2018 by ADCARE OPERATIONS, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company, as guarantor (the “ New Guarantor ”), to and for the benefit of PINECONE REALTY PARTNERS, II, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, “ Lender ”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

A. Pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2018, by and among CP Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as borrower (the “ CP Borrower ”), Northwest Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as borrower (the “ Northwest Borrower ”), Attalla Nursing ADK, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as borrower (the “ Attalla Borrower ”), AdCare Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as borrower and guarantor (“ AdCare Holdco ”; the CP Borrower, the Northwest Borrower, the Attalla Borrower and AdCare Holdco are collectively referred to herein as “ Borrowers ” and each as a “ Borrower ”), Hearth & Home of Ohio, Inc., a Georgia corporation, as guarantor (the “ HHO Guarantor ”), Regional Health Properties, Inc., a Georgia corporation, as guarantor (the “ RHP Guarantor ”; the HHO Guarantor, AdCare Holdco and the RHP Guarantor are collectively referred to herein as the “ Existing Guarantors ” and each as an “ Existing Guarantor ”), and Lender (the “ Loan Agreement ”), Lender has made loans, advances and other extensions of credit to each Borrower.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings provided to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

B. A portion of the loans, advances and other extensions of credit under the Loan Agreement were used to settle or otherwise satisfy certain litigation claims against the New Guarantor, which litigation claims, if adversely determined, could have reasonably been expected to have a material adverse effect on, and cause irreparable harm to, the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of RHP Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Existing RHP Parties ”), including New Guarantor, taken as a whole, by (i) causing one or more defaults under the definitive documentation governing the outstanding Indebtedness of one or more Existing RHP Parties, (ii) enabling the lenders of such Indebtedness to accelerate such Indebtedness and foreclose on the collateral therefor and (iii) causing RHP Guarantor and its Subsidiaries to attempt to restructure such Indebtedness by commencing an Insolvency Proceeding, which would have reasonably been expected to result in the termination or rejection of the Operating Leases.

 

C. In connection with the initial loans, advances and other extensions of credit, the Credit Parties agreed, pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Loan Agreement, to cause, within 90 days of the date of the Loan Agreement, each subsidiary of New Guarantor to transfer and assign to the appropriate subsidiary of AdCare Holdco the Operating Leases to which such subsidiary of New Guarantor is a party, all of which Operating Leases are material to the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Existing RHP Parties, taken as a whole (the “ AdCare Opco Assignment ”).  

 


D. T he Credit Parties have informed Lender that , as of the date hereof, several Events of Default have occurred and are continuing under the Loan Agreement . As a result of the foregoing, Lender is currently entitled to accelerate all Obligations and other amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, which acceleration would have a material adverse effect on, and cause irreparable harm to, the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Existing RHP Parties , taken as a whole . The Credit Parties have requested Lender enter into that certain Forbearance Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with the Borrowers and the Existing Guarantors , pursuant to which, among other things, Lender will agree to forbear from exercising certain rights with respect to the Specified Defaults (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement) .

 

E. The Credit Parties have informed Lender that the AdCare Opco Assignment will not be able to be completed within such 90-day period and an Event of Default that is not a Specified Default will occur as a result of such failure to comply with Section 5.3 of the Loan Agreement, which would result in a Termination Event under the Forbearance Agreement and enable Lender to accelerate all Obligations and other amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, which acceleration would have a material adverse effect on, and cause irreparable harm to, the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Existing RHP Parties, taken as a whole. As a result, the Credit Parties have requested Lender to agree to amend the Loan Agreement to eliminate the requirement to consummate the AdCare Opco Assignment.

 

F. As consideration for Lender’s agreement to forbear from exercising remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults and to eliminate the requirement in the Loan Agreement to consummate the AdCare Opco Assignment (each of which, if not agreed to by Lender, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on, and cause irreparable harm to, the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Existing RHP Parties (including New Guarantor), taken as a whole, New Guarantor has agreed to, among other things, (i) enter into this Guaranty to provide security for the payment and performance of the full and prompt payment of each Loan to and other sums owed by, and all other Obligations of, each Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) secure its obligations under this Guaranty by granting a security interest in the Pledged Collateral under, and as defined in, that certain Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by the New Guarantor in favor of Lender (the “ Pledge Agreement ”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE , for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the New Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

1. Guaranty. The New Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender (i) the full and prompt payment in cash of each Loan made to each Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement and all other sums owed by each such Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) the full and prompt performance by each Borrower of its other Obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents , in each case, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, and including any such Obligations incurred after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (including any interest accruing under any Loan Document after the filing of a petition with

2


respect to each such Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law , whether or not allowed or allowable as a claim in the related proceeding) , as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise , or otherwise be required to be performed .   This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely of collection.

 

2. Continuing Nature. This Guaranty shall be continuing and shall not be discharged, impaired or affected by (i) the power or authority or lack thereof of any Borrower or any other Credit Party to incur or contract for any Obligations or to execute, acknowledge or deliver any document, agreement or other instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligations; (ii) the regularity or irregularity, validity or invalidity, or enforceability or unenforceability of any Obligations; (iii) any defenses or counterclaims whatsoever that any Borrower or any other Credit Party may or might have to the payment or performance of any Obligations or to the assertion of a default under any document, agreement or other instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligations including, but not limited to, lack of consideration, statute of frauds, infancy, breach of warranty, lender liability, usury, fraud and statute of limitations; (iv) the existence or non‑existence of any Borrower or any other Credit Party as a legal entity; (v) the transfer by any Borrower or any other Credit Party of all or any part of the property securing any Obligations; (vi) any right of setoff, counterclaim or defense (other than the payment and performance of any Obligations in full) that the New Guarantor may or might have to its respective undertakings, liabilities and obligations under this Guaranty, each and every such defense being hereby waived by the New Guarantor; or (vii) the inability of Lender to claim any amount of interest, fees, costs, or charges from any Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

3. Guarantor’s Agreement to Pay.   The New Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor or surety only, to pay to Lender, on demand, all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal expenses) incurred or expended by Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty against the New Guarantor .

 

4. Obligations Absolute.   The obligations of the New Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be affected or impaired by, the following, any of which may be taken without the consent of, or notice to, the New Guarantor, nor shall any of the following give the New Guarantor any recourse or right of action against Lender:

(f) Any defense based upon the application by any Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by such Borrower to Lender or intended or understood by Lender or the New Guarantor;

(l) Any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnity, or any right to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Credit Party or any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender.

6. Subrogation .

The New Guarantor understands that the exercise by Lender of certain rights and remedies may affect or eliminate the New Guarantor’s right of subrogation against any Borrower or any other Credit Party or any guarantor and that the New Guarantor may therefore incur partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder.  Nevertheless, the New Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Lender, its successors, endorsees and assigns, to exercise in its or their sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of the New Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary,

5


until all Obligations have been repaid and the Mortgages have been released or reconveyed, the New Guarantor hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or other rights which the New Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against any Borrower or any other Credit Party or any other guarantor of all or any of the obligations of the New Guarantor hereunder that arise from the existence or performance of the New Guarantor ’s obligations under this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any Borrower or any other Credit Party or any collateral which Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including the right to take or receive from any Borrower or any other Credit Party , directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.

7. Additional Waivers .

The New Guarantor shall not be released or discharged, either in whole or in part, by Lender’s failure or delay to (i) perfect or continue the perfection of any lien or security interest in any collateral which secures the obligations of any Borrower, the New Guarantor or any other Credit Party or any other guarantor, or (ii) protect the property covered by such lien or security interest.

8. Subordination .

Without limitation on the waivers and releases contained herein:

(a) The New Guarantor subordinates all present and future indebtedness owing by any Borrower or any other Credit Party to the New Guarantor to the obligations at any time owing by such Borrower or any other Credit Party to Lender under the Loan Documents.  The New Guarantor assigns all such indebtedness to Lender as security for this Guaranty.

(b) The New Guarantor agrees to make no claim on such indebtedness until all obligations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party under the Loan Documents have been fully discharged.

(c) The New Guarantor further agrees not to assign all or any part of such indebtedness without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.  If Lender so requests, (i) all instruments evidencing such indebtedness shall be duly endorsed and delivered to Lender, (ii) all security for such indebtedness shall be duly assigned and delivered to Lender, (iii) such indebtedness shall be enforced, collected and held by the New Guarantor as trustee for Lender and shall be paid over to Lender on account of the Loans but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the New Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty, and (iv) the New Guarantor shall execute, file and record such documents and instruments and take such other action as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce Lender’s rights in and to such indebtedness and any security therefor.  If the New Guarantor fails to take any such action, Lender, as attorney in fact for the New Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of the New Guarantor.  The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked .

6


9 . Proceedings on Default.   Upon the failure of any Borrower or any other Credit Party to promptly and completely make any required payment and performance of its Obligations, Lender may, at its option: (a) proceed directly and at once without notice of such default, against the New Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount of the liability hereunder, or any portion thereof, without proceeding against such Borrower, such other Credit Party or any other person, or endorser, surety or guarantor, or foreclosing upon, selling, or otherwise disposing of, or enforcing, or collecting or applying any property, real or personal, Lender may then have as security for such Obligations, and without enforcing or proceeding under any other guaranty; or (b) sell the real and personal property Lender may then have as security for such Obligations under the power of sale contained in any mortgage deed, security agreement or similar instrument pursuant to which such property is held or to which such property is subject or sell such property through judicial foreclosure, as Lender may elect, notice of any such election being expressly waived by the New Guarantor, and proceed against the New Guarantor for an amount equal to the difference between the net proceeds of such sale to Lender and the amount of such Obligations then due and owing.  Nothing herein shall prohibit Lender from exercising its rights against the New Guarantor, any other guarantor, endorser, or surety, the security, if any, for the Obligations, and any Borrower or other Credit Party simultaneously, jointly and/or severally.

 

10. Representations.   The New Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that: this Guaranty does not violate the provisions of any document, agreement or other instrument by which the New Guarantor is bound; no consent or authorization is required as a condition to the execution of this Guaranty; the New Guarantor is fully aware of the financial condition of each Borrower and each other Credit Party; the New Guarantor delivers this Guaranty based solely upon the New Guarantor’s own independent investigation and understanding of the transaction of which this Guaranty is a part and in no part upon any representation or statement of Lender with respect thereto; the New Guarantor is in a position to and hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining any additional information concerning any Borrower’s and other Credit Party’s financial condition or business operations as the New Guarantor may deem material to its obligations hereunder and the New Guarantor is not relying upon, nor expecting Lender to furnish the New Guarantor with, any information in Lender’s possession concerning any Borrower’s and other Credit Party’s financial condition or business operations.  The New Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of “continuing guaranty”, which risk includes, without limitation, the possibility that any Borrower or any other Credit Party will incur or contract for additional indebtedness for which the New Guarantor will be liable hereunder.

 

11. Independent, Separate and Secured Obligations.   The obligations of the New Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and are independent of the obligations of any Borrower, any other Credit Party or of any other person, endorser, surety or guarantor ; and, in the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the New Guarantor whether or not the New Guarantor is the alter ego of a Borrower or any other Credit Party and whether or not a Borrower or any other Credit Party is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against such Borrower or other Credit Party.  Lender’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted until all of the Obligations have been

7


fully paid and performed.   This Guaranty is secu red, an d shall be deemed to be secured, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement .

 

12. Bankruptcy.   

 

(a) All of the Obligations shall, at the option of Lender, forthwith become due and payable if there shall be filed by or against the New Guarantor or any other Credit Party a petition in bankruptcy or for insolvency proceedings or for reorganization, dissolution or liquidation, or for appointment of a receiver or trustee, or if the New Guarantor or any other Credit Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect, without abatement, until the Obligations have been paid or performed in full and all other obligations guaranteed hereunder have been performed to the satisfaction of Lender, it being expressly understood and agreed to by the New Guarantor that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the New Guarantor or any other Credit Party all as though such payment had not been made, to such Borrower or any other Credit Party or a trustee, receiver or any other party.  The New Guarantor understands and agrees that in the event Lender is required to so return all or any portion of a payment received from any Borrower, the New Guarantor shall be required to pay Lender for such amount.

 

(b) So long as any of the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be owing to Lender, the New Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, commence or join with any other party in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings of or against any Borrower or any other Credit Party .  The New Guarantor understands and acknowledges that by virtue of this Guaranty, it has specifically assumed any and all risks of a bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Credit Party.  As an example and not in any way of limitation, a subsequent modification of the Obligations in any reorganization case concerning any Borrower or any other Credit Party shall not affect the obligation of the New Guarantor to pay and perform such Borrower’s Obligations in accordance with its original terms.  In any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law, the New Guarantor shall file all claims which the New Guarantor may have against such Borrower or relating to any indebtedness of such Borrower to the New Guarantor and shall assign to Lender all rights of the New Guarantor thereunder.  If the New Guarantor does not file any such claim, Lender, as attorney in fact for the New Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of the New Guarantor or, in Lender’s discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Lender’s nominee.  The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.  Lender or its nominee shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do.  In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Lender the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, the New Guarantor hereby assigns to Lender all of the New Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions; provided , however , the New Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be

8


satisfied except to the extent that Lender receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution.  If Lender receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the liability of the New Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revised, and the rights of Lender shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Credit Party on account of the Loan Documents which Lender shall restore or return by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of such Borrower or any other Credit Party or for any other reasons, all as though such amount had not been paid.

 

13. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrower. If for any reason any Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of its Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any Borrower by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the New Guarantor to the same extent as if the New Guarantor at all times had been the principal obligor on all such Obligations.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any document, agreement or other instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable by the New Guarantor.

 

14. Payments.   The New Guarantor covenants and agrees that any payments by the New Guarantor of the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with their respective terms regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereinafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms of the rights of Lender with respect thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Guarantor ’s obligations hereunder with respect to any Obligation shall not be discharged by a payment in a currency other than Dollars or at a place other than the place specified or designated by Lender for the payment of the Obligations.

 

15. Taxes.   All payments hereunder shall be made without any counterclaim of setoff, free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, levies, imposts, charges and withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature (other than on the income of Lender) (“ Taxes ”), which are now or may hereafter be imposed, levied or assessed by any country, political subdivision or taxing authority, all of which will be for the account of and paid by the New Guarantor hereunder.  If for any reason, any such reduction is made or any Taxes are paid by Lender, the New Guarantor will pay to Lender the additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that it receives the same net amount that it would have received had no reduction been made of Taxes paid.

 

16. Further Assurances.   The New Guarantor agrees that it will promptly provide to Lender information relating to the financial condition of the New Guarantor from time to time as Lender may reasonably request, including but not being limited to, the provision of financial statements and tax returns on an annual basis and all reports that its Subsidiaries are entitled to under their respective leases with Operators.

17. Successors and Assigns.   This Guaranty shall be binding upon the New Guarantor and its heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns.

Exhibit 10.12

 

Execution Version

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

 

This PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is dated as of May 18, 2018 by and between ADCARE OPERATIONS, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“ Pledgor ”), and PINECONE REALTY PARTNERS, II, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, “ Lender” ).  

 

A. Pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2018 , by and among CP Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as borrower (the “ CP Borrower ”), Northwest Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as borrower (the “ Northwest Borrower ”), Attalla Nursing ADK, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as borrower (the “ Attalla Borrower ”), AdCare Property Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as borrower and guarantor (“ AdCare Holdco ”; the CP Borrower, the Northwest Borrower, the Attalla Borrower and AdCare Holdco are collectively referred to herein as “ Borrowers ” and each as a “ Borrower ”), Hearth & Home of Ohio, Inc., a Georgia corporation, as guarantor (the “ HHO Guarantor ”), Regional Health Properties, Inc., a Georgia corporation, as guarantor (the “ RHP Guarantor ”; the HHO Guarantor, AdCare Holdco and the RHP Guarantor are collectively referred to herein as the “ Existing Guarantors ” and each as an “ Existing Guarantor ”), and Lender (the “ Loan Agreement ”), Lender has made loans, advances and other extensions of credit to each Borrower.  

 

B . A portion of the loans, advances and other extensions of credit under the Loan Agreement were used to settle or otherwise satisfy certain litigation claims against the Pledgor, which litigation claims, if adversely determined, could have reasonably been expected to have a material adverse effect on, and cause irreparable harm to, the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of RHP Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Existing RHP Parties ”), including Pledgor, taken as a whole, by (i) causing one or more defaults under the definitive documentation governing the outstanding Indebtedness of one or more Existing RHP Parties, (ii) enabling the lenders of such Indebtedness to accelerate such Indebtedness and foreclose on the collateral therefor and (iii) causing RHP Guarantor and its Subsidiaries to attempt to restructure such Indebtedness by commencing an Insolvency Proceeding, which would have reasonably been expected to result in the termination or rejection of the Operating Leases.

C . In connection with the initial loans, advances and other extensions of credit, the Credit Parties agreed, pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Loan Agreement, to cause, within 90 days of the date of the Loan Agreement, each subsidiary of Pledgor to transfer and assign to the appropriate subsidiary of AdCare Holdco the Operating Leases to which such subsidiary of Pledgor is a party, all of which Operating Leases are material to the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Existing RHP Parties, taken as a whole (the “ AdCare Opco Assignment ”).  

D . The Credit Parties have informed Lender that, as of the date hereof, several Events of Default have occurred and are continuing under the Loan Agreement. As a result of the foregoing, Lender is currently entitled to accelerate all Obligations and other amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, which acceleration would have a material adverse effect on, and cause irreparable harm to, the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or

 


 

otherwise) or prospects of the Existing RHP Parties, taken as a whole. The Credit Parties have requested Lender enter into that certain Forbearance Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with the Borrowers and the Existing Guarantors, pursuant to which, among other things, Lender will agree to forbear from exercising certain rights with respect to the Specified Defaults (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement).

E . The Credit Parties have informed Lender that the AdCare Opco Assignment will not be able to be completed within such 90-day period and an Event of Default that is not a Specified Default will occur as a result of such failure to comply with Section 5.3 of the Loan Agreement, which would result in a Termination Event under, and as defined in, the Forbearance Agreement and enable Lender to accelerate all Obligations and other amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, which acceleration would have a material adverse effect on, and cause irreparable harm to, the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Existing RHP Parties, taken as a whole. As a result, the Credit Parties have requested Lender to agree to amend the Loan Agreement to eliminate the requirement to consummate the AdCare Opco Assignment.

F . As consider ation for Lender’s agreement to forbear from exercising remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults and to eliminate the requirement in the Loan Agreement to consummate the AdCare Opco Assignment (each of which, if not agreed to by Lender, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on, and cause irreparable harm to, the operations, business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Existing RHP Parties (including Pledgor), taken as a whole, Pledgor has agreed to, among other things, guarantee (the “ Guaranty ”) the full and prompt payment of each Loan to and other sums owed by, and all other Obligations of, each Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “ Guaranty Agreement ”) and to secure its obligations under the Guaranty by granting a security interest in the Pledged Collateral (as defined herein) in favor of Lender.

G. This Agreement is intended to provide security for the Guaranty and payment and performance of all other Obligations of Pledgor under the Guaranty Agreement.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings provided to such terms in the Loan Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, as applicable.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and to secure the Guaranty and payment and performance of all other Obligations of Pledgor under the Guaranty Agreement , and the performance by Pledgor of all the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Agreement, Pledgor hereby agrees as follows:

3.2 Preservation of Pledged Collateral .  Pledgor represents and warrants that it is the sole legal and beneficial owner of and has good and marketable title to the Pledged Interests (or, in the case of after-acquired Pledged Collateral, at the time Pledgor acquires rights in the Pledged Collateral, will be the sole legal and beneficial owner thereof) free and clear of any liens, other than Permitted Liens and liens in favor of Lender hereunder .   Pledgor will, at its own cost and expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all

4


 

such action as Lender from time to time may reasonably request in order to protect the lien granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and will defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the liens of Lender thereon against the claims of other Persons .   Lender shall be under no duty to: (a) collect any of the Pledged Collateral or any moneys due or to become due thereunder; (b) give any notices with respect to the Pledged Collateral; (c) preserve or maintain any of the Pledged Collateral (except to the extent delivered to Lender ) ; or (d) preserve rights of Pledgor against prior parties to the Pledged Collateral .

3.3 Voting Rights .  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to securities pledged hereunder or any part thereof; provided , however , that Pledgor shall not at any time, without Lender’s prior written consent, cast any vote or give or grant any consent, waiver or ratification or take any other action which could: (a) materially and adversely affect the value of the Pledged Collateral (or any portion thereof) or interfere with the practical realization to Lender of the rights afforded to Lender under this Agreement; (b) violate the terms of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; (c) impair the validity or priority of the security position or interests of Lender in any manner whatsoever; or (d) cause an Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and, following notice from Lender, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section shall cease, and all such rights shall become vested in Lender, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.

3.4 Lender’s Rights .   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default:

a. Lender may, at its option, and without notice to Pledgor or any other party, sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Pledged Collateral.  The occurrence or non‑occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall in no manner impair the ability of Lender to demand payment of any portion of the Obligations which are payable on demand and/or payable pursuant to the Loan Documents.  Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable UCC and under other Applicable Laws.    In addition to all other rights available to it under Applicable Laws or otherwise, Lender, in conjunction with the assignment, pledge or transfer of any of the Obligations by Lender, shall have the right to assign therewith Lender’s rights in any of the Pledged Collateral, and any assignee, pledgee or transferee shall have the rights of Lender hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral so assigned, pledged or transferred.

c. Pledgor recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales

5


 

to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire all or a part of the Pledged Collateral for its own account, for t he Loan s and all other Obligations , and not with a view of the distribution or resale thereof.  Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any private sale so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if such Pledged Collateral were sold at public sale and that Lender has no obligation to delay the sale of such Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registration of such Pledged Collateral for public sale under any securities laws.  Pledgor agrees that a private sale or sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  If any consent, approval or authorization of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, or any partial sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, Pledgor will execute all applications and other instruments as may be reasonably required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization and will otherwise use its best efforts to secure the same.  In addition, if the Pledged Collateral is disposed of pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”), Pledgor agrees to complete and execute a “Form 144,” or comparable successor form, at Lender ’s request; and Pledgor agrees to provide any material adverse information in regard to the current and prospective operations of any entity whose membership interest or stock constitutes all or a portion of the Pledged Collateral of which Pledgor has knowledge and which has not been publicly disclosed, and Pledgor hereby acknowledges that Pledgor’s failure to provide such information may result in criminal and/or civil liability.

 

d. For so long as such Default or Event of Default continues and before the Pledged Collateral has been sold, Lender shall be entitled to remove any or all of the managers of each Issuer (the “ Managers ”) and appoint any representatives of Lender or any other person or entity, as Lender elects, to be the Manager(s) in order to fill the vacancy created by such removal and the members of the Issuers shall not have the right to remove the Managers so appointed by Lender or to elect a sole Manager or any new or additional Managers.

3.5. Limitations in Organizational Documents.   Any limitations contained in the articles or organization, operating agreements or other organizational documents of the Issuers (“ Organizational Documents ”) inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived until the Loans to and other sums owed by, and all other Obligations of, each Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Guaranty and payment and performance of all other Obligations of Pledgor under the Guaranty Agreement have all been fully and finally paid and performed, including, without limitation any provision that requires approval of actions by a “Majority in Interest” and provisions requiring the approval of the Managers for certain actions.  Notwithstanding anything contained in any Issuer’s Organizational Documents to the contrary, all restrictions on transfer and assignability of any member’s interests in such Issuer shall be inapplicable, and of no force and effect, as to any transfer of any interests in such Issuer to Lender (or any nominee affiliate, successor, assignee or transferee thereof) or other person in accordance with this Agreement.  

3.6. HUD Loans.   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any provision contained in any Organizational Documents of Issuers with loans insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“ HUD ”), or any provision in the loan documents for such HUD-insured loans, requires approval of HUD and/or the lender

6


 

whose loan is insured by HUD (the “ HUD Lender ”) in order for Lender to cause any of the Pledged Collateral to be transferred following an Event of Default, then (i) Lender shall notify HUD and the HUD L ender, as applicable , of its intention to cause such transfer and (ii) Lender shall not cause such transfer to be made without the consent of HUD or the HUD L ender, as applicable , unless Lender determines that such transfer would not cause a default or event of default under such loan documents.

 

article 4

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

4.1 Costs and Expenses.   All costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by or on behalf of Lender in connection with the taking, holding, preparing for sale or other disposition, selling, managing, collecting or otherwise disposing of the Pledged Collateral (collectively, the “ Liquidation Costs ”), together with interest thereon at a per annum rate of interest which is equal to the then highest rate of interest charged on the principal of any of the Obligations, from the date of payment until repaid in full, shall be paid and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations secured hereby.  Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral will be applied by Lender to the payment of Liquidation Costs and the balance of such proceeds (if any) will be applied by Lender toward the payment of the Loans to and other sums owed by, and all other Obligations of, each Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Guaranty and payment and performance of all other Obligations of Pledgor under the Guaranty Agreement (whether then due or not), at such time or times and in such order and manner of application as Lender may from time to time in its sole discretion determine.

4.2 No Duty to Act.   Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed as requiring Lender to take any particular enforcement or remedial action or combination of enforcement or remedial actions at any time.

4.4 Mitigation of Damages.   To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Pledgor hereby waives any notice or other mandatory requirements of Applicable Laws, now or hereafter in effect, which might require Lender to sell, lease or otherwise use any of the Pledged Collateral in mitigation of Lender’s damages; provided , however , that Pledgor does not waive any legal requirement that Lender act in a commercially reasonable manner.

4.5 No Waivers by Lender.   No failure of Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in the exercise of, any of its rights and remedies granted herein following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights with respect to such Default or Event of Default or any subsequent Default or Event of Default (whether or not similar).  Any failure or delay by Lender to require strict performance by Pledgor of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained herein or in any other agreement, document or instrument, shall not affect Lender’s right to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.

4.6 Waiver of Notice and Hearing Regarding Probable Cause by Pledgor. Pledgor acknowledges being advised of a constitutional right, as to pre-judgment relief as may be sought by Lender through the process of a court, to notice and a court hearing to determine whether, upon an Event of Default, there is probable cause to sustain the validity of Lender’s claim and whether Lender is entitled to possession of the Pledged Collateral.  Being so advised, Pledgor, in regard to such relief and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, hereby voluntarily gives up, waives and surrenders any right to a notice and hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to sustain the validity of Lender’s claim.  Any notices required pursuant to any state or local law shall be deemed reasonable if mailed by Lender to Pledgor at Pledgor’s address specified in Section 4.10 hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to disposition of the Pledged Collateral, and in reference to a private sale, need state only that Lender intends to negotiate such a sale.

10


 

 

which Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Person or any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender.

d. Bankruptcy Proceeding.  So long as any of the Loans or Obligations shall be owing to Lender, Pledgor shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, commence or join with any other party in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings of or against any other Credit Party.  In any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law, Pledgor shall file all claims which Pledgor may have against any other Credit Party relating to any indebtedness of such Credit Party to Pledgor and shall assign to Lender all rights of Pledgor thereunder.  If Pledgor does not file any such claim, Lender, as attorney‑in‑fact for Pledgor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Pledgor or, in Lender’s discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Lender’s nominee.  The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.  Lender or its nominee shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do.  In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Lender the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Pledgor hereby assigns to Lender all of Pledgor’s rights to any such payments or distributions; provided , however , Pledgor’s Obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the extent that Lender receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution.  If Lender receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under the Guaranty Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the liability of Pledgor hereunder shall be reinstated and revised, and the rights of Lender shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid by or on behalf of Pledgor on account of the Promissory Note or the other Loan Documents which Lender shall restore or return by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Pledgor or for any other reasons, all as though such amount had not been paid.

e. Subrogation.  Pledgor understands that the exercise by Lender of certain rights and remedies may affect or eliminate Pledgor’s right of subrogation against any Credit Party and that Pledgor may therefore incur partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder.  Nevertheless, Pledgor hereby authorizes and empowers Lender, its successors, endorsees and assigns, to exercise in its or their sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of Pledgor that the Obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents to the contrary, until the Loans to and other sums owed by, and all other Obligations of, each Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Guaranty and payment and performance of all other Obligations of Pledgor under the Guaranty Agreement have all been fully paid and performed, Pledgor hereby waives and releases any claim or other rights which Pledgor may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Credit Party or any guarantor of all or any of the Obligations of Pledgor hereunder that arise from the existence or performance of Pledgor’s Obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any Credit

11


 

Party , any guarantor or any collateral which Pledgor now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Credit Party , any guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.

f. Additional Waivers .  Pledgor shall not be released or discharged, either in whole or in part, by Lender’s failure or delay to (i) perfect or continue the perfection of any lien or security interest in any collateral which secures the Obligations of any Credit Party or any guarantor, or (ii) protect the property covered by such lien or security interest.

4.8 Lender’s Actions.   Lender may take or release the Pledged Collateral or other security, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for any Indebtedness to Lender, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to such Indebtedness, and may apply any other security therefor held by it to the satisfaction of such Indebtedness, all without prejudice to any of its rights or Pledgor’s Obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

4.9 Liability for Loss.   Lender shall not be liable for any loss to the Pledged Collateral in its possession, nor shall such loss diminish the debt due, except for loss caused by Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

4.10 Notices.   All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a “ Notice ”) shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if either hand delivered with receipt acknowledged, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express), or by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or, with respect to routine or administrative notices (but specifically excluding notices of Default, Events of Default or acceleration of the Loans) by electronic mail, in each case addressed as follows (or to such other address or Person as a party shall designate from time to time by notice to the other party):
