AGREEMENT AMONG LENDERS


AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG LENDERS 




This Agreement is made and entered into as of the __ day of ___________, 2016, by and between Global Healthcare REIT, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”) and those parties who purchased and hold Series 2016 10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company (collectively referred to herein as “Lenders”).




RECITALS




A.

The Company has sold Notes to Lenders in the aggregate principal amount of up to One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000). 




B.

The Notes are secured by a senior security interest in all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company (the “Collateral” and “Security Interest”, respectively) under the terms of a Security Agreement of even date.




C.

Lenders desire to act in concert with respect to the Notes and Security Interest.







NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:




1.

Security Documents.  Attached as Exhibit B hereto is a copy of a Security Agreement (the Security Agreement and other documents that may be used to register Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral, and any certificates representing securities to be delivered to perfect a pledge is referred to herein as the “Security Documents”).  The Security Documents run in favor of each Lender to the extent of each Lender’s interest therein.  The Lenders hereby appoint Lance Baller (“Custodian”) as their custodian, only for the purpose of holding the original Security Documents.  Custodian will provide copies to the Lenders upon request.




2.

Risks of Collectibility.  Each Lender will bear the risks of collectibility of the Note held by it, of the Borrower’s financial condition, of fraud or forgery, of the enforceability of the Security Documents, of the adequacy of the security for Loan, and any other matters relating to the Loan.  Each Lender agrees that it has been solely responsible for making an independent appraisal and investigation into the financial condition, creditworthiness, nature, and status of the Borrower.  Each Lender confirms to the other Lenders that it has not, in connection with his decision to enter into the Loan transaction, relied on any other Lender (i) to inquire on his behalf into the accuracy or completeness of any information provided in connection with the Loan (whether or not such information is distributed to the Lenders), (ii) to assess or keep under review on his behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, nature or status of the Borrower, or (iii) to advise such Lender as to the results of any appraisal or investigation performed by any other Lender.




3.

Appointment of Agent.  (a)  Upon the occurrence of one or more of the events of Default set forth in the Lender Notes or Security Agreement, or in the event a Majority of the Lenders so determine, Lenders shall appoint an agent (“Agent”) to perform certain ministerial functions on their behalf, including those specified in the Lender Notes and Security Documents. Lenders holding a majority of the total outstanding principal balance of 






the Notes (“Majority” or “Majority in Interest”) shall control all decisions regarding the exercise of rights of the Lenders under the Lender Notes and Security Documents.  Lenders constituting a Majority shall appoint the Agent in the manner set forth in paragraph 4(c).  




(b)

Agent will enforce the Lender Notes and the Security Documents, as described in the other provisions of

this Agreement.




(c)

The Agent shall be appointed by vote of a Majority.  The vote may be taken (i) in a meeting held for such purpose upon five (5) days written notice to the Lenders; or (ii) by written agreement of a Majority without a meeting.  Attendance at the meeting may be in person, by proxy, or by telephone.  Agent will signify his acceptance of such appointment, and his agreement with terms of this agreement that pertain to him as Agent, by executing a copy of this Agreement.  The terms of this agreement pertaining to such Agent’s rights, duties, and responsibilities hereunder shall be effective upon the Agent’s signature.




4.

Expenses.  If an Agent is appointed under paragraph 4 of this Agreement, Lenders shall pay him/her/it for their services in an amount that is customary and reasonable for such services.  The following out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, to the extent not paid by the Company, shall be paid by the Lenders pro rata in proportion to the amount of the Lender Notes held by them:




(a)

Expenses incurred in the enforcement of the Lender Notes;




(b)

Expenses incurred following any Event of Default under any of the Lender Notes or Security Documents and any expenses incurred prior to but in connection with or in preparation for any such Event of Default; and




(c)

Expenses otherwise incurred and approved in advance in writing by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders.




Each Lender shall pay its share of all such expenses within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of a written statement from Agent itemizing the expenses that have been incurred and are due and payable or have been paid by Agent.  In the event that any Lender fails or refuses to pay its share of any expenses under this Section, Agent shall have a priority claim, to the extent of such unpaid expenses, on such Lender’s share of all payments of principal, interest, fees, and other charges with respect to the Notes and of all proceeds from realization upon the security for the Notes.  Each Lender hereby grants to Agent a security interest in its share of such payments and proceeds to secure the payment of expenses that it is obligated to pay hereunder.




5.

Records.  Agent shall at all times keep books of account and records at his current address reflecting all transactions in connection with the Loan and the Lenders’ interests therein.  Each Lender shall have access to Agent’s records maintained in connection with the Loan for inspection and/or copying at such Lender’s expense at all reasonable times during business hours.  Upon request, Agent shall furnish to any Lender copies of title reports, financial information, inspection reports, and other documents relating to the Loan, the Security Documents, or the Company that have been furnished to or prepared by Agent in connection with the Loan.

6.

Liability of Agent.  Neither Agent nor any of his/her/its agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith in connection with the Loan, in the absence of his own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Agent shall in no event be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of such Lender, unless such action is performed in a grossly negligent manner or in a manner constituting willful misconduct (which manner of performance was not requested or consented to by such Lender).




Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by him and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith reliance upon the advice of such experts.  Unless specifically requested to do so by any Lender, Agent shall have no duty to inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty, or representation made by the Company in connection with the Loan; (ii) the truthfulness or genuineness of any information or document supplied by the Company in connection with the Loan; or (iii) the genuineness of the signatures of any party (other than Agent).  Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, or other writing (including telexes, telecopies, or similar instruments) believed by Agent to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.




7.

Indemnification.  Each Lender shall, pro rata, in proportion to the amount of the Note held by him, indemnify Agent against any cost, expense, claim, demand, action, loss, or liability, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in contesting the same, that Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Loan in his capacity as Agent, or any action taken or omitted by Agent in good faith under this Agreement, except to the extent the same arises from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or from actions taken by Agent that are outside the scope of his authority under this Agreement.




8.

Litigation.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12 hereof, Agent shall have the exclusive right to initiate, direct, and otherwise control any litigation involving all of the Lenders in their capacity as such under the Loan, whether as plaintiffs, defendants, or otherwise.  All costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with such litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be paid in accordance with Section 4 hereof.




9.

Notifications.  Each Lender shall endeavor (but shall not incur any liability for failure to do so) to notify each other of any events or occurrences that come to their attention that may have material adverse effect on the security for the Loan or the ability of the Company to perform any of their respective obligations under the Lender Notes.




10.

Defaults of the Company.  Agent shall send to each Lender a copy of each notice he sends to the Company pursuant to the Lender Notes notifying the Company of any claimed defaults thereunder.  The failure of the Company to cure any such default within the time periods, if any, specified in the Lender Notes or Security Documents shall constitute an Event of Default thereunder unless such Event of Default is waived (either during or after the applicable cure period) by all of the Lenders (for any Event of Default resulting from the failure to make required payments of principal and interest on the Loan) or by a Majority (for any other Event of Default).









3







Agent shall advise the Lenders from time to time as to his recommendations with respect to any Event of Default and the possible waiver thereof.




11.

Enforcement.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Lender Notes or Security Documents that is not waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Agent shall (unless otherwise required by this Section 11) take all reasonable steps for the enforcement of the Loan that Agent would normally take in the event of such a default that is not waived under a similar loan for his own account.  Agent shall be entitled to exercise his reasonable discretion to determine when and in what manner the Loan shall be enforced, and shall control and direct all actions taken or not taken in connection with such enforcement; provided, however, that a majority in interest of the Lenders must approve, or may require, the exercise of any affirmative remedy provided to Agent under the terms of any of the Lender Notes or Security Documents, including but not limited to, acceleration of the Lender Notes. Unless otherwise instructed in writing by a majority in interest of the Lenders, however, Agent shall have no obligation to withhold disbursements or exercise any right or remedy available to Lenders if in Agent’s reasonable judgment the exercise of such rights is not in the best interests of the Lenders.




12.

Permitted Actions.  Any actions that require the consent or approval of a specified number of Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be initiated by any group of Lenders comprising the number whose consent or approval is required.  Any actions, consents, or approvals required or permitted of the Lenders under the Lender Notes or Security Documents, for which the consent or approval of a specified number of Lenders is not required in this Agreement, may be taken or given by Agent, and if so taken or given by Agent shall not be binding upon all of the Lenders.  Agent may, however, at his sole option at any time upon notice to the Lenders, request the Lenders’ approval or authorization of any action, consent, or approval that may be taken or given by Agent under the preceding sentence, which approval or authorization shall require the written consent of a majority in interest of the Lenders.




Any action taken or decision made by Agent or by any group of Lenders to whom the authority to take such action or make such decision has been given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders, and each Lender agrees to execute all documents and instruments and take all other actions that are deemed necessary or desirable by Agent or the Lenders making such decisions to carry out the terms thereof.

13.

Pari Passu Status in Lender Notes.




a.

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the Lenders, individually or collectively, shall have priority with respect to any payments of principal or interest in respect of the Lenders’ Lender Notes. Rather, each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and their respective rights and priority are pari passu with the rights and priority of each and all of the Lenders. In addition, and without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby confirms, agrees and stipulates that regardless of the relative times at which indebtedness of the Company was incurred to the holders of Lender Notes, and regardless of anything to the contrary contained in any documents executed in connection with the Lender Notes, shall in all respects be held by them on a pari passu basis.  




b.

In the event of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other similar proceeding relating to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, (iii) any proceeding for the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Company, whether involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or not, then, and in any such event, any payment or other distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property out of or in respect of the assets of the Company, shall be shared by the Lenders on a pari passu basis with the amount thereto to which Lenders are entitled to be determined based on the proportion which the then outstanding Lenders’ indebtedness bears to the aggregate indebtedness represented by the Lender Notes; provided, however, that the Lenders, individually or collectively, shall not take any action without prior written notice having been furnished to all Lenders.




c.

If the Lenders, individually or collectively, shall at any time have received any payment, distribution or additional security from any of the assets of the Company, whether arising out of or as a result of any event described in Section 13(b) above or otherwise, the receiving party thereof shall promptly provide the Company or any court-appointed trustee or Agent with a detailed accounting thereof, and shall promptly take all action necessary to implement the pro-rata sharing contemplated by Section 13(b) above.  Any such payment, distribution or security so received shall be deemed to be held in trust by the receiving party thereof for the benefit of all the Lenders until such sharing has been implemented and completed as contemplated by Section 13(b) above. 




d.

Each of the Lenders agree to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another in the realization upon and/or liquidation of the assets of Company following an Event of Default, and to promptly advise any designated or appointed agent with respect to the Company’s assets and all other Lenders of any actions taken with respect thereto, provided, however, that no Lender shall, enter into any modification or amendment of any agreements that would (i) extend the term of the Lenders’ Indebtedness, (ii) increase the applicable rate of interest payable by the Company thereunder, or (iii) increase the amount of the Company's indebtedness thereunder,
