If final prorations cannot be made at Closing for any item being prorated under this Section 2.2, Buyers and Sellers agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation have been completed, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing, except that adjustments arising from any tax protest shall not be subject to such ninety (90) day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible), to the effect that income and expenses are received and paid by the parties on an accrual basis with respect to their period of ownership. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing, except that adjustments arising from any tax protest shall not be subject to such 90-day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible.

After said sixty (60) day period, such payments which fail to designate the period to which they relate shall be first applied to post-Closing balances with any excess applied to reduce pre-Closing balances.

No later than the third business day of each calendar week, Seller shall provide Buyer with any explanation of benefit (“EOB”) forms received by Seller during the previous calendar week that reflect payments for services provided by Buyer after the Closing.  Within three (3) business days of Seller’s delivery to Buyer of any such EOB forms, Seller shall remit to Buyer an amount equal to the amount set forth in such EOB forms as payable to Buyer.  Buyer shall be solely responsible for the collection of all Interim Accounts Receivable from all applicable payors.

Subject to Section 11.4, Buyers shall promptly indemnify, defend, and hold Sellers harmless against any and all losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable cost of investigation, court costs and legal fees) and other damages resulting from: (1) any breach by Buyers of any covenants, obligations, representations or warranties or breach or untruth of any representation, warranty, fact or conclusion contained in this Agreement or any certificate or document of Buyers delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (2) any claim which is brought or asserted by any third party(s) against Sellers for failure to pay or perform any of the Assumed Liabilities; and (3) subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, any claim that is brought or asserted by any third party(s) against Sellers arising out of or relating to the ownership, licensing, operation or conduct of the Facilities or Assets relating to all periods of time subsequent to Closing.
11.4    Rules Regarding Indemnification. The obligations and liabilities of each party which may be subject to indemnification liability hereunder (the “indemnifying party”) to the other party (the “indemnified party”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(1)    Claims by Non-parties. The indemnified party shall give written notice within a reasonably prompt period of time to the indemnifying party of any written claim by a third party which is likely to give rise to a claim by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party based on the indemnity agreements contained in this Article, stating the nature of said claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. The indemnified party shall give notice to the indemnifying party that pursuant to the indemnity, the indemnified party is asserting against the indemnifying party a claim with respect to a potential loss from the third party claim, and such notice shall constitute the assertion of a claim for indemnity by the indemnified party. If, within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, the indemnifying party advises the indemnified party that it will provide indemnification and assume the defense at its expense, then so long as such defense is being conducted, the indemnified party shall not settle or admit liability with respect to the claim and shall afford to the indemnifying party and defending counsel all reasonable assistance in defending against the claim, but the indemnified party shall remain entitled to notice and an opportunity to participate in any proceedings relating to the claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, counsel shall be selected by such party and if the indemnified party then retains its own counsel, it shall do so at its own expense.  If the indemnified party does not receive a written objection to the notice from the indemnifying party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying party’s receipt of such notice, the claim for indemnity shall be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved, and in such case the indemnified party may control the defense of the matter or case and, at its sole discretion, settle or admit liability. If, within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, the indemnified party shall have received written objection to a claim (which written objection shall briefly describe the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof, all in good faith), then for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such objection the parties shall attempt to settle the dispute as between the indemnified and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the dispute, the unresolved issue or issues may be resolved in conjunction with the underlying action that gave rise to the claim for indemnification.
(2)    Claims by a Party. The determination of a claim asserted by a party hereunder (other than as set forth in subsection (1) above) pursuant to this Article shall be made as follows: The indemnified party shall give written notice within a ten (10) days to the indemnifying party of any claim by the indemnified party which has not been made pursuant to subsection (1) above, stating the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. The claim shall be deemed to have resulted in a determination in favor of the indemnified party and to have resulted in a liability of the indemnifying party in an amount equal to the amount of such claim estimated pursuant to this Section if within forty-five (45) days after the indemnifying party’s receipt of the claim the indemnified party shall not have received written objection to the claim. In such event, the claim shall be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved. If, within the aforesaid forty-five (45) day period, the indemnified party shall have received written objection to a claim (which written objection shall briefly describe the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof, all in good faith), then for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such objection the parties shall attempt to settle the disputed claim as between the indemnified and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the disputed claim, the unresolved issue or issues be resolved in conjunction with the underlying action that gave rise to the claim for indemnification.
(3)    Indemnification Maximum. The maximum aggregate liability of Sellers for indemnification under this Agreement with respect to claims made or arising under Section 11.2 shall be equal to One Million Eight Hundred and Seventy Thousand Dollars ($1,870,000); provided that with respect to any claim arising under Section 11.2(4), the maximum aggregate liability shall be Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).
(4)    Indemnification Threshold. Buyers agree not to seek recourse against, and shall not recover from Sellers under Section 11.2 on account of any Loss arising out of a breach of Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article 3 hereof, unless and until the aggregate amount thereof with respect to Losses exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Indemnification Threshold”), after which Sellers shall only be liable for amounts above the Indemnification Threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnification Threshold shall not be applicable if the indemnification claim relates to an Excluded Liability, or any proration of real estate taxes.
11.5    Guaranty.  Diversicare Holding Company, LLC (“Guarantor”) hereby guaranties the obligations of Sellers (i) to forward to Buyer the payments set forth in Section 2.6(2) and shall join in the execution of this Agreement solely for such purposes, and (ii) with respect to any claim for indemnification arising under Section 11.2(4) above.

GUARANTY
(OHI - Diversicare)
This GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) is given as October 1, 2018 by DIVERSICARE HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Advocat, Inc., ADVOCAT FINANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, DIVERSICARE MANAGEMENT SERVICES CO., a Tennessee corporation, and DIVERSICARE LEASING COMPANY II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively referred to herein as “Guarantor”), in favor of the entities listed on Schedule 1 to this Guaranty (collectively, “Landlord”), with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS
A.    The entities listed on Schedule 2 to this Guaranty (collectively, “Tenant”) have executed and delivered to Landlord a Master Lease dated as of the date of this Agreement (as such agreement may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented, the “Master Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant is leasing from Landlord certain healthcare facilities identified therein (each a “Facility,” and collectively, the “Facilities”).
B.    Each Guarantor continues to maintain a direct financial interest in the Tenant and it is to the advantage of each Guarantor that Landlord enter into the Master Lease.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and in order to induce Landlord to enter into the Master Lease and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms.  All capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meaning for such terms set forth in the Master Lease.
2.    Guaranty.  Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Landlord (i) the payment when due of all Rent and all other sums payable by the Tenant under the Master Lease, and (ii) the faithful and prompt performance when due of each and every one of the terms, conditions and covenants to be kept and performed by Tenant under the Lease Documents, any and all amendments, modifications, extensions and renewals of the Lease Documents, including without limitation all indemnification obligations, insurance obligations, and all obligations to operate, rebuild, restore or replace any facilities or improvements now or hereafter located on the real estate covered by the Master Lease.  In the event of the failure of Tenant to pay any such amounts owed, or to render any other performance required of Tenant under the Lease Documents, when due, Guarantor shall forthwith perform or cause to be performed all provisions of the Lease Documents to be performed by Tenant thereunder, and pay all damages that may result from the non-performance thereof to the full extent provided under the Lease Documents (collectively with (i) and (ii) above, the “Obligations”).  As to the Obligations, Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty is without limit.
3.    Survival of Obligations.  The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty with respect to the Lease Documents shall survive and continue in full force and effect (until and unless all Obligations, the payment and performance of which are hereby guaranteed, have been fully paid and performed) notwithstanding:
(a)    any amendment, modification, or extension of any Lease Document;
(b)    any compromise, release, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction in respect of any terms of any Lease Document or any other guarantor;
(c)    any substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any security for this Guaranty which Landlord may hold at any time;
(d)    any exercise or nonexercise by Landlord of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of any Lease Document or any security held by Landlord with respect thereto, or any waiver of any such right, power or remedy;
(e)    any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, or the like of the Tenant or any other guarantor;
(f)    any limitation of Tenant’s liability under any Lease Document or any limitation of Tenant’s liability thereunder which may now or hereafter be imposed by any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any illegality, irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any Lease Document or any term thereof;
(g)    any sale, lease, or transfer of all or any part of any interest in any Facility (other than the assignment of the Master Leases to Tenant) to any other person, firm or entity other than to Landlord;
(h)    any act or omission by Landlord with respect to any of the security instruments given or made as a part of the Lease Documents or any failure to file, record or otherwise perfect any of the same;
(i)    any extensions of time for performance under the Lease Documents, whether prior to or after maturity;
(j)    the release of any collateral from any lien in favor of Landlord, or the release of Tenant from performance or observation of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any Lease Document by operation of law or otherwise;
(k)    the fact that Tenant may or may not be personally liable, in whole or in part, under the terms of any Lease Document to pay any money judgment;
(l)    the failure to give Guarantor any notice of acceptance, default or otherwise;
(m)    any other guaranty now or hereafter executed by Guarantor or anyone else in connection with any Lease Document;
(n)    any rights, powers or privileges Landlord may now or hereafter have against any other person, entity or collateral; or
(o)    any other circumstances, whether or not Guarantor had notice or knowledge thereof, other than the payment or performance of all of the Obligations.
4.    Primary Liability.  The liability of Guarantor with respect to the Lease Documents shall be primary, direct and immediate, and Landlord may proceed against Guarantor: (i) prior to or in lieu of proceeding against Tenant, its assets, any security deposit, or any other guarantor; and (ii) prior to or in lieu of pursuing any other rights or remedies available to Landlord.  All rights and remedies afforded to Landlord by reason of this Guaranty or by law are separate, independent and cumulative, and the exercise of any rights or remedies shall not in any way limit, restrict or prejudice the exercise of any other rights or remedies.
In the event of any default under any Lease Document, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not Tenant is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Tenant.  Landlord may maintain successive actions for other defaults.  Landlord's rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by its exercise of any of its rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all indebtedness and obligations the payment and performance of which are hereby guaranteed have been paid and fully performed.
5.    Obligations Not Affected.  In such manner, upon such terms and at such times as Landlord in its sole discretion deems necessary or expedient, and without notice to Guarantor, Landlord may:  (a) amend, alter, compromise, accelerate, extend or change the time or manner for the payment or the performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed; (b) extend, amend or terminate any of the Lease Documents; or (c) release Tenant by consent to any assignment (or otherwise) as to all or any portion of the obligations hereby guaranteed.  Any exercise or non-exercise by Landlord of any right hereby given Landlord, dealing by Landlord with Guarantor or any other guarantor, Tenant or any other person, or change, impairment, release or suspension of any right or remedy of Landlord against any person including Tenant and any other guarantor will not affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder or give Guarantor any recourse or offset against Landlord.
6.    Waiver.  With respect to the Lease Documents, Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties and/or guarantors or any other accommodation parties, under any statutory provisions, common law or any other provision of law, custom or practice, and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies including, but not limited to:
(a)    any right to require Landlord to proceed against the Tenant or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Landlord at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Landlord's power before proceeding against Guarantor or to require that Landlord cause a marshaling of Tenant’s assets or the assets, if any, given as collateral for this Guaranty or to proceed against Tenant and/or any collateral, including collateral, if any, given to secure Guarantor's obligation under this Guaranty, held by Landlord at any time or in any particular order;
(b)    any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity or lack of authority of any other person or persons;
(c)    notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Tenant, Landlord, any creditor of Tenant or Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Landlord or in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed;
(d)    any defense based upon an election of remedies by Landlord which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Tenant for reimbursement, or both;
(e)    any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;
(f)    any duty on the part of Landlord to disclose to Guarantor any facts Landlord may now or hereafter know about Tenant, regardless of whether Landlord has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Tenant and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any obligations or indebtedness hereby guaranteed;
(g)    any defense arising because of Landlord's election, in any proceeding instituted under the federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111 (b)(2) of the federal Bankruptcy Code; and
(h)    any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the federal Bankruptcy Code.
(i)    any extension of time conferred by any law now or hereafter in effect and any requirement or notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or any other notice to which the undersigned may now or hereafter be entitled to the extent such waiver of notice is permitted by applicable law.
7.    Warranties.  With respect to the Lease Documents, Guarantor warrants that: (a) this Guaranty is executed at Tenant’s request; and (b) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Tenant on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to Tenant’s financial condition.  Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor's risks hereunder, and Guarantor further agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to disclose to Guarantor information or material acquired in the course of Landlord's relationship with Tenant.
8.    No-Subrogation.  Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation and waives any right to enforce any remedy which Landlord now has or may hereafter have against Tenant and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Landlord with respect to the Master Lease.
9.    Subordination.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under any Lease Document, which is not cured by Guarantor, the indebtedness or obligations of Tenant to Guarantor shall not be paid in whole or in part nor will Guarantor accept any payment of or on account of any amounts owing, without the prior written consent of Landlord and at Landlord's request, Guarantor shall cause Tenant to pay to Landlord all or any part of the subordinated indebtedness until the obligations under the Lease Documents have been paid in full. Any payment by Tenant in violation of this Guaranty shall be received by Guarantor in trust for Landlord, and Guarantor shall cause the same to be paid to Landlord immediately on account of the amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord.  No such payment will reduce or affect in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
10.    No Delay.  Any payments required to be made by Guarantor hereunder shall become due on demand in accordance with the terms hereof immediately upon the happening of an Event of Default under any Lease Document.
11.    Application of Payments.  With respect to the Lease Documents, and with or without notice to Guarantor, Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Landlord deems appropriate, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries from Tenant or from any other guarantor under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Landlord may determine, to any indebtedness or other obligation of the Tenant with respect to the Lease Documents and whether or not such indebtedness or other obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application, and (b) refund to Tenant any payment received by Landlord under the Lease Documents.
12.    Guaranty Default.
(a)    As used herein, the term Guaranty Default shall mean one or more of the following events (subject to applicable cure periods):
		
	i)
	the failure of Guarantor to pay the amounts required to be paid hereunder at the times specified herein;

		
	ii)
	the failure of Guarantor to observe and perform any covenants, conditions or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under the Lease Documents, other than as referred to in Subsection (i) above, for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure has been given to Guarantor by Landlord, unless Landlord agrees in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration.

(b)    Upon the occurrence of a Guaranty Default, Landlord shall have the right to bring such actions at law or in equity, including appropriate injunctive relief, as it deems appropriate to compel compliance, payment or deposit, and among other remedies to recover its attorneys' fees in any proceeding, including any appeal therefrom and any post-judgment proceedings.
13.    Intentionally omitted.
14.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    No term, condition or provision of this Guaranty may be waived except by an express written instrument to that effect signed by Landlord.  No waiver of any term, condition or provision of this Guaranty will be deemed a waiver of any other term, condition or provision, irrespective of similarity, or constitute a continuing waiver of the same term, condition or provision, unless otherwise expressly provided.
(b)    If any one or more of the terms, conditions or provisions contained in this Guaranty is found in a final award or judgment rendered by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining terms, conditions and provisions of this Guaranty shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and this Guaranty shall be interpreted and construed as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, condition or provision had never been contained in this Guaranty.
(c)    THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND, EXCEPT THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH A FACILITY IS LOCATED SHALL GOVERN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY (i) TO OBTAIN THE BENEFIT OF THE- RIGHTS AND REMEDIES SET FORTH HEREIN WITH RESPECT TO SUCH FACILITY, AND (ii) FOR PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS WHICH MUST BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH SUCH FACILITY IS LOCATED.  GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO IN PERSONAM JURISDICTION BEFORE THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF MARYLAND AND AGREES THAT ALL DISPUTES CONCERNING THIS GUARANTY BE HEARD IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OR STATES IN WHICH THE FACILITY OR FACILITIES ARE LOCATED OR IN MARYLAND.  GUARANTOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE EFFECTED UPON IT UNDER ANY METHOD PERMISSIBLE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR STATES IN WHICH THE FACILITY OR FACILITIES ARE LOCATED OR MARYLAND AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF THE STATE OR STATES IN WHICH THE FACILITY OR FACILITIES ARE LOCATED AND OF MARYLAND.
(d)    GUARANTOR AND LANDLORD HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT THERETO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND ARISING ON, UNDER, OUT OF, BY REASON OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE INTERPRETATION, BREACH OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
(e)    In the event of any suit, action, arbitration or other proceeding to interpret this Guaranty, or to determine or enforce any right or obligation created hereby, the prevailing party in the action shall recover such party's actual costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and costs of appeal, post judgment enforcement proceedings (if any) and bankruptcy proceedings (if any).  Any court, arbitrator or panel of arbitrators shall, in entering any judgment or making any award in any such suit, action, arbitration or other proceeding, in addition to any and all other relief awarded to such prevailing party, include in such-judgment or award such party's costs and expenses as provided in this paragraph.
(f)    Guarantor (i) represents that it has been represented and advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Guaranty; (ii) acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Lease Documents; and (iii) further represents that Guarantor has been advised by counsel with respect thereto.  This Guaranty shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of its language, and not for or against Guarantor or Landlord, and as a whole, giving effect to all of the terms, conditions and provisions hereof.
(g)    Except as provided in any other written agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Landlord and Guarantor, this Guaranty shall constitute the entire agreement of Guarantor with Landlord with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no representation, understanding, promise or condition concerning the subject matter hereof will be binding upon Landlord or Guarantor unless expressed herein.
(h)    All stipulations, obligations, liabilities and undertakings under this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Landlord and to the benefit of Landlord's successors and assigns.
(i)    Whenever the singular shall be used hereunder, it shall be deemed to include the plural (and vice-versa) and reference to one gender shall be construed to include all other genders, including neuter, whenever the context of this Guaranty so requires.  Section captions or headings used in the Guaranty are for convenience and reference only, and shall not affect the construction thereof.
15.    Other Guarantors.    If more than one person or entity executes this Guaranty, their duties and obligations under this Guaranty shall be joint and several.  All references to Guarantor shall be to each or any two or more of them.
