Re: First Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Lease and Security Agreement
and Option Exercise Notice

 

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Master Lease and Security
Agreement (the “NNN Lease”), dated as of August 29, 2014, by and among the
Lessors identified therein  (“Lessors”), and Emeritus Corporation, Summerville
at Hazel Creek, LLC, and Summerville at Prince William, Inc., as Lessees (each,
a “Lessee”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the NNN Lease.  

 

Pursuant to Section 31.4 of the NNN Lease,  each Lessee has been granted a
purchase option with respect to certain Facilities identified on Schedule 31.4
to the NNN Lease.  The parties hereto agree that this letter (this “Notice and
Amendment”)  shall serve as the Option Exercise Notice as described in Section
31.4.1 of the NNN Lease.  

 

The parties hereto hereby agree that the NNN Lease shall be amended hereby to
delete Schedule 31.4 and to insert in lieu thereof Schedule 1 attached hereto
(as so amended, “Modified Schedule 31.4”).  In accordance with the terms of
Section 31.4, the Lessees hereby notify you that (i) the Lessees have opened
escrow with First American Title Company (“Escrow Agent”) by delivery of this
letter, together with a copy of the NNN Lease, on December 30, 2014 and (ii) the
Lessees hereby exercise their respective rights to acquire each of the nine (9)
Facilities set forth on Modified Schedule 31.4 for an aggregate purchase price
equal to $60,000,000.  The allocated purchase price and attendant rent reduction
for each such Facility is set forth on Modified Schedule 31.4.    Lessors shall,
as soon as reasonably practicable following the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, reallocate any rent currently allocated to the Facilities
and not reduced pursuant to Modified Schedule 31.4 to the remaining Facilities
in the NNN Lease, and shall notify Lessees of such reallocation in writing.  The
parties hereto agree that the real property and FF&E allocations for each
Facility shall be as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto.

 

The parties hereto agree that,  provided no Event of Default arising as a result
of the failure to pay Minimum Rent has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the
consummation of the acquisition of the Facilities set forth on Modified Schedule
31.4 by the Lessees (or by any designee, at such Lessee’s written direction)
shall occur, with respect to each such Facility, by release of the purchase
price and transfer documents from escrow on December 31, 2014, with effect as of
January 1, 2015.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all required regulatory
approvals for any such Facility shall not have been obtained prior to December
31, 2014, the Lessees shall give notice thereof to Lessors prior to December 31,
2014, and the consummation of the acquisition

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of such Facility by the applicable Lessee (or its designee) shall occur on any
date specified in a later notice given by the Lessees to Lessor not less than
five (5) Business Days prior to such specified date, provided, however, that the
consummation of the acquisition of such Facility shall in any event occur prior
to the expiration of the NNN Lease term, including any applicable extensions
thereto,  and if the consummation of the acquisition of such Facility does not
occur by such date, the option for such facility referenced in this letter shall
be deemed terminated.  The parties hereto agree that Section 31.4.4 of the NNN
Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety.

 

As required by Section 31.4 of the NNN Lease, attached hereto as Exhibit A is a
Reaffirmation of the Guaranty. 

 

As amended by this Notice and Amendment, the terms and provisions of the NNN
Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.    The parties hereto
acknowledge, agree and reaffirm that (i) except as otherwise expressly provided
in the NNN Lease (as hereby amended) to the contrary and for the limited
purposes so provided, the NNN Lease (as hereby amended) is and the parties
intend the same for all purposes to be treated as a single, integrated and
indivisible agreement and economic unit, and (ii) except as otherwise required
by Legal Requirements or any accounting rules or regulations, the NNN Lease (as
hereby amended) shall be treated as an operating lease for all purposes and not
as a synthetic lease, financing lease or loan, and Lessors shall be entitled to
all the benefits of ownership of the Leased Property, including depreciation for
all federal, state and local tax purposes.
