        Terms and Principles.

        unless expressly otherwise provided herein, be made in accordance with
        GAAP.
        No

        would
        affect a calculation that measures compliance with any provision of
        Article V or VIII unless the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
        Required Lenders agree to modify such provisions to reflect such changes
        in GAAP
        and, unless such provisions are modified, all Financial Statements, Compliance

        before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

      Section
        1.4  Payments.
        The
        Administrative Agent may set up standards and procedures to determine or
        redetermine the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency
        other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely
        on any
        determination made by any Borrower. Any such determination or redetermination
        by
        the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
        absent manifest error. No determination or redetermination by any Secured
        Party
        or Borrower and no other currency conversion shall change or release any
        obligation of any Borrower or of any Secured Party (other than the
        Administrative Agent and its Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each
        of
        which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any conversion
        and payment of the amount as converted. The Administrative Agent may round
        up or
        down to the nearest 1,000th,
        and may
        set up appropriate mechanisms to round up or down to the nearest
        1,000th.

       

       

      Section
        1.5  Interpretation.
        (a)
        Certain Terms. Except as set forth in any Loan Document, all accounting terms
        not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP
        (except for the term “property”, which shall be interpreted as broadly as
        possible, including, in any case, cash, securities, other assets, rights
        under
        Contractual Obligations and Permits and any right or interest in any property).
        The terms “herein”, “hereof” and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a
        whole. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later
        specified date in any Loan Document, the terms “from” means “from and including”
and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding” and the word
“through” means “to and including.” In any other case, the term “including” when
        used in any Loan Document means “including without limitation.” The term
“documents” means all writings, however evidenced and whether in physical or
        electronic form, including all documents, instruments, agreements, notices,
        demands, certificates, forms, financial statements, opinions and reports.
        The
        term “incur” means incur, create, make, issue, assume or otherwise become
        directly or indirectly liable in respect of or responsible for, in each case
        whether directly or indirectly, and the terms “incurrence” and “incurred” and
        similar derivatives shall have correlative meanings.
        The word
“will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word
“shall”. The definitions in this Agreement shall apply equally to singular and
        plural forms of the defined terms and, whenever the context may require,
        any
        pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine feminine and neuter
        forms.

       

      (b) Certain
        References.
        Unless
        otherwise expressly indicated, references (i) in this Agreement to an
        Exhibit, Schedule, Article, Section or clause refer to the appropriate Exhibit
        or Schedule to, or Article, Section or clause in, this Agreement and (ii)
        in any
        Loan Document, to (A) any agreement shall include, without limitation, all
        exhibits, schedules, appendixes and annexes to such agreement and, unless
        the
        prior consent of any Secured Party required therefor is not obtained, any
        modification to any term of such agreement, (B) any statute shall be to such
        statute as modified from time to time and to any successor legislation thereto,
        in each case as in effect at the time any such reference is operative and
        (C) any time of day shall be a reference to New York time. Titles of
        articles, sections, clauses, exhibits, schedules and annexes contained in
        any
        Loan Document are without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever
        and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto. Unless otherwise
        expressly indicated, the meaning of any term defined (including by reference)
        in
        any Loan Document shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural
        forms of such term.

      Section
        2.1  Term
        Loan Commitment, Borrowing Procedures and Escrow Requirement.
        (a)
        Term Loan Commitment and Borrowing Procedures. (i) On the terms and subject
        to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Lender severally, but
        not
        jointly, agrees to make loans (each a “Term Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrowers
        in a maximum amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, and the
        aggregate of all Commitments in a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed
        $167,000,000. An initial advance was made by Administrative Agent on the
        Closing
        Date in an amount equal to $139,940,000. Upon any Permitted Acquisition,
        subject
        to the Interest Holdback and the Capital Improvement Holdback, advances shall
        be
        made in an amount not to exceed the amount set forth on Schedule 8.7 for
        each
        respective healthcare facility being acquired.
        Advances related to the Interest Holdback and the Capital Improvement Holdback
        shall be made pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i). Amounts of Term Loans repaid
        may
        not be reborrowed.
        Amounts
        over-advance shall be immediately repaid by Borrowers. 

       

      (ii)  Borrowing
        Procedures.
        Each
        advance under the Term Loan shall be made on notice given by the Borrowers
        to
        the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business
        Day prior to the date of the proposed advance. Each such notice may be made
        in a
        writing substantially in the form of Exhibit F
        (a
“Notice
        of Borrowing”)
        duly
        completed or by telephone if confirmed promptly. Loans shall be made as
        Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

       

      The
        Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the
        Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and including the
        applicable interest rate not later than 11:00 a.m. on the second Business
        Day prior to the proposed advance. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on
        the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative
        Agent
        at its address referred to in Section 11.11,
        such
        Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment or due
        waiver (i) on the Closing Date, or (ii) on the date of the closing of any
        Permitted Acquisition (a “Permitted
        Acquisition Closing Date”),
        of
        the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1,
        the
        Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the
        Borrower.

       

      Non-Funding
        Lenders.
        Unless
        the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior
        to the
        date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to
        any
        Loan that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof)
        available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume
        that
        such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on
        the
        date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article II
        and the
        Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available
        to
        the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. Any Lender that shall not
        have
        made available to the Administrative Agent any portion of any payment described
        above (any such Lender, a “Non-Funding
        Lender”)
        agrees
        to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on demand together with interest
        thereon (such amount plus such interest, the “Non-Funded
        Amount”),
        for
        each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until
        the
        date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent (either by such
        Non-Funding Lender or by a Substitute Lender under Section
        2.12),
        at the
        Federal Funds 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          28

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      Rate
        for
        the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at
        the
        time to such Term Loan. Such repayment shall then constitute the funding
        of the
        corresponding Term Loan (including any Loan deemed to have been made hereunder
        with such payment) or participation. In the event a Non-Funding Lender fails
        to
        pay the Non-Funded Amount, the Administrative Agent shall have the right,
        but
        not the obligation, to become a Substitute Lender pursuant to Section
        2.12
        and
        increase its Commitment by the Non-Funded Amount, in which case such Non-Funded
        Amount shall constitute a funding by Administrative Agent of the corresponding
        Term Loan. If Administrative Agent chooses not to become a Substitute Lender
        for
        the Non-Funded Amount, it shall notify Borrowers of such Lender’s failure to
        make payment hereunder. Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
        the
        Non-Funded Amount together with interest thereon for each day from the date
        such
        amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid
        to
        the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Obligation
        that
        would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such
        amount
        to the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available;
provided,
        however,
        that
        such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have
        to the
        Borrower. Such
        repayment by Borrower shall be made not later than 30 days following the
        receipt
        of such notice. The existence of any Non-Funding Lender shall not relieve
        any
        other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no other Lender
        shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any
        payment required under any Loan Document.

       

      (b) Holdbacks,
        Reserves and Escrows.
        

       

      (i)  Holdbacks.
        (A) A
        portion of the proceeds of the Term Loan in an amount equal to Three Million
        Two
        Hundred Thousand Dollars and No/100 Dollars ($3,200,000) (the “Interest
        Holdback”)
        shall
        be retained by the Administrative Agent as a holdback, which amount shall
        be
        advanced by Administrative Agent to pay any shortfall in the interest due
        hereunder that cannot be paid out of Consolidated EBITDA; provided,
        however,
        at such
        time as the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio on any date of documentation
        shall be greater than or equal 1.10 to 1.00 for each of the immediately
        preceding twelve (12) months, the Interest Holdback shall no longer be required
        and, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the balance
        of
        the Interest Holdback shall be refunded to Borrowers. Absent the existence
        of
        any Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
        to the
        extent any such shortfall exists, Administrative Agent shall make disbursements
        on the applicable due date for the payment of interest due on the Loan, in
        accordance with Sections
        2.2(b).
        Such
        disbursements under the Interest Holdback shall not exceed, in the aggregate,
        the amount of the Interest Holdback set forth above and shall be deemed to
        be a
        Term Loan made hereunder. Nothing in this Section
        2.1(b)(i)(A)
        shall be
        deemed to relieve Borrowers of their obligation to timely pay all principal
        and
        interest which comes due.

       

      (B)
        A
        portion of the proceeds of the Term Loan in an amount equal to Five Million
        One
        Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars and No/100 Dollars ($5,130,000) (the
“Capital
        Improvement Holdback”)
        shall
        be retained by the Administrative Agent, which amount shall be advanced by
        Administrative Agent to pay costs and expenses related to the repairs,
        improvements, and replacements identified on Schedule
        2.1.
        Absent
        the existence of any Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other
        Loan
        Documents, upon evidence of the completion of, and verification of the cost
        associated with, such repair, improvement or replacement (whether authorized
        for

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          29

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      payment
        or actually paid by Borrowers), Administrative Agent shall make disbursements
        under the Term Loan in an amount not to exceed 82.5% of such cost to reimburse
        Borrowers for such repair, improvement or replacement. To the extent any
        payment
        is authorized for payment or actually paid by Borrowers prior to completion
        of
        any repair, improvement or replacement, upon submittal of invoices associated
        with such partial payments and absent the existence of any Event of Default
        hereunder, Administrative Agent shall reimburse Borrowers no more frequently
        than on time per month, in an amount not to exceed 82.5% (less customary
        holdbacks to ensure completion) of such partial cost to reimburse Borrowers
        for
        such repair, improvement or replacement. Disbursements under the Capital
        Improvement Holdback shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount of the
        Capital Improvement Holdback set forth above and shall be deemed to be a
        Term
        Loan made hereunder. To the extent funds are advanced for invoices not already
        paid by Borrowers, (i) Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent with
        evidence that each such invoice was paid in full and (ii) until such time
        as the
        paid invoices are received by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent
        shall
        only, upon Borrowers’ request, reimburse Borrowers for invoices actually paid.
        Borrowers shall be obligated to make the repairs, improvements and replacements
        identified on Schedule
        2.1
        on the
        respective dates set forth therein. Upon completion of all items on Schedule
        2.1,
        the
        balance of the Capital Improvement Holdback shall be refunded to
        Borrowers.

       

      (ii)  Replacement
        Reserve.
        At or
        before the initial advance under the Term Loan, the Borrowers shall deposit
        with
        the Administrative Agent a sum of money in an amount equal to TWENTY FIVE
        DOLLARS ($25) per bed (the “Monthly
        Replacement Reserve Deposit”),
        and
        shall thereafter make a deposit equal to the Monthly Replacement Reserve
        Deposit
        each month, contemporaneously with its payment of interest due hereunder,
        provided,
        however,
        at such
        time as the amount in such replacement reserve is equal to or greater than
        12
        times the Monthly Replacement Reserve Deposit (the “Maximum
        Reserve Amount”),
        the
        Borrowers shall not be obligated to make any further Monthly Replacement
        Reserve
        Deposits until such time as the amount in such reserve is less than the Maximum
        Reserve Amount. Administrative Agent shall release funds from this reserve
        to
        reimburse the Borrowers, or pay directly if a request is made for an amount
        in
        excess of $20,000, for capital expenditures for, and replacement of furniture,
        fixtures and equipment used in connection with, the Facilities, promptly
        following the Borrowers’ request therefore, which request shall be accompanied
        by invoices or other reasonable evidence of the payment or obligations for
        which
        a release is being requested.

       

      (iii)  Tax
        Escrow.
        The
        Borrowers shall deposit monthly with the Administrative Agent or the
        Administrative Agent’s designee, a sum of money equal to equal to one-twelfth
        (1/12th) of the annual charges for real estate taxes, assessments and
        impositions relating to the Facilities as reasonably estimated by Administrative
        Agent. At or before the initial advance under the Term Loan, the Borrowers
        shall
        deposit with the Administrative Agent a sum of money which together with
        such
        monthly installments will be sufficient to make such tax payments thirty
        (30)
        days prior to the date any delinquency or penalty becomes due. Provided
        sufficient funds are available in the foregoing tax reserve, Administrative
        Agent shall use such funds to pay real estate taxes, assessments and impositions
        relating to the Facilities prior to the date same are due, and 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          30

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      any
        obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to pay same shall be deemed satisfied
        if
        sufficient funds to pay same are in such reserve.

       

      (iv)  Insurance
        Escrow.
        To the
        extent non-captive insurance is utilized and a third party collects a premium
        for such insurance coverage, the Borrowers shall deposit monthly with the
        Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s designee, a sum of money equal to
        equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual charges for insurance premiums
        relating to the insurance coverages required by this Agreement as reasonably
        estimated by Administrative Agent. At or before the initial advance under
        the
        Loan, the Borrowers shall deposit with the Administrative Agent a sum of
        money
        which together with such monthly installments will be sufficient to make
        such
        insurance payments thirty (30) days prior to the date any delinquency or
        penalty
        becomes due. Provided sufficient funds are available in the foregoing insurance
        reserve, Administrative Agent shall use such funds to pay insurance premiums
        relating to the Facilities prior to the date same are due, and any obligations
        of the Borrowers hereunder to pay same shall be deemed satisfied if sufficient
        funds to pay same are in such reserve.

       

      (v)  Disbursement
        and Interest.
        After
        the Closing Date, deposits in respect of the escrows described in clauses
        (iii) - (iv)
        above
        shall be made on the basis of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable estimate
        from time to time of the charges for the current year (or other applicable
        period). All funds deposited pursuant to clause
        (iii) - (iv)
        shall be
        held by the Administrative Agent. These sums may be commingled with the general
        funds of the Administrative Agent and shall not be deemed to be held in trust
        for the benefit of the Borrowers. So long as no Event of Default exists
        hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall credit for the Borrowers’ account
        interest on such funds held by the Administrative Agent from time to time
        at the
        money market account rate announced from time to time by The Northern Trust
        Company or any other national banking association selected by the Administrative
        Agent in its sole discretion (the “Money
        Market Rate”).
        All
        interest paid on such funds shall be deemed to be a part of the respective
        escrow and shall be applied in accordance with this Section
        2.1(b).
        The
        Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lender
        and
        the Administrative Agent a security interest in all funds so deposited with
        the
        Administrative Agent for the purpose of securing the Obligations. While an
        Event
        of Default exists, the funds deposited may be applied in payment of the charges
        for which such funds have been deposited, or to the payment of the Obligations
        or any other charges affecting the security of the Administrative Agent,
        as the
        Administrative Agent may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to
        have
        been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by the
        Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall furnish the Administrative Agent
        with
        bills for the charges for which such escrows are required promptly upon the
        Borrowers’ receipt thereof. If at any time the amount in escrow with the
        Administrative Agent, together with amounts to be deposited by the Borrowers
        before such charges are payable, is insufficient to pay such charges, the
        Borrowers shall deposit any deficiency with the Administrative Agent immediately
        upon demand. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such charges, when
        the
        amount in escrow with the Administrative Agent is sufficient to pay such
        charges
        and the Administrative Agent has received a bill for such charges, if
        applicable.

      Section
        2.2  Termination
        of the Commitments, Maturity Date and Repayment of Loans.
        (a)Termination
        of Term Loan Commitments.
        Outstanding Term Loan Commitments in an amount equal to the amount of any
        Term
        Loan actually advanced shall terminate on the date of such advance (after
        giving
        effect to the Term Loan occurring on such date). The balance of all outstanding
        Term Loan Commitments shall terminate on the six (6) month anniversary of
        the
        Closing Date.

       

      (b)  Maturity
        Date and Repayment of the Term Loans.
        Commencing on January 2, 2007, the Borrowers shall pay interest in arrears
        on
        the first day of each month until all amounts due under the Loan Documents
        are
        paid in full. If the first day of the month is not a Business Day, then the
        applicable payment due hereunder shall be made on the first Business Day
        of such
        month. The Borrowers promise to repay all outstanding principal and accrued
        but
        unpaid interest, costs, expenses and fees under or related to the Term Loans
        on
        the Maturity Date. 

       

      The
        Borrowers may extend the Maturity Date to the first anniversary of the Scheduled
        Maturity Date (the “First
        Extension Period”)
        provided the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Borrowers have given
        the Administrative Agent written notice (the “First
        Extension Notice”)
        of
        such extension not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days
        prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date; (ii) no Event of Default has occurred
        and is continuing at the time of, or at any time after the delivery of, the
        First Extension Notice; (iii) if the Consolidated Project Yield as of the
        commencement of the First Extension Period would not be greater than or equal
        to
        10%, the Borrowers shall, prior to the commencement of the First Extension
        Period, deposit with Administrative Agent, to be held in escrow (the
“Cash
        Collateral Escrow”),
        an
        amount which, if applied against to the outstanding principal balance of
        the
        Term Loan would cause the Consolidated Project Yield as of the commencement
        of
        the First Extension Period to be equal to 10%; (iv) an Interest Rate Contract,
        reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall be in full force
        and
        effect and (v) there shall have been no material adverse change in the business
        or financial condition of the Borrowers taken as a whole, which determination
        shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative
        Agent.

      

      In
        addition to the First Extension Period, the Borrowers may further extend
        the
        Loan for the twelve (12) month period ending on the second anniversary of
        the
        Scheduled Maturity Date (the “Second
        Extension Period”),
        provided the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Borrowers has given
        the Administrative Agent written notice (the “Second
        Extension Notice”)
        of
        such extension not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days
        prior to the expiration of First Extension Period; (ii)  no Event of
        Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of, or at any time after
        the
        delivery of, the Second Extension Notice; (iii) if the Consolidated Project
        Yield as of the commencement of the Second Extension Period would not be
        greater
        than or equal to 10%, the Borrowers shall, prior to the commencement of the
        Second Extension Period, deposit into the Cash Collateral Escrow, an amount
        which, if applied against to the outstanding principal balance of the Term
        Loan
        would cause the Consolidated Project Yield as of the commencement of the
        Second
        Extension Period to be equal to 10%; and (iv) an Interest Rate Contract,
        reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall be in full force
        and
        effect and (v) there shall have been no material adverse change in the business
        or financial condition of the Borrowers taken as a whole, which determination
        shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative
        Agent.

       

      Section
        2.3  Optional
        Prepayments.
        The
        Borrowers may not prepay any of the outstanding principal balance of the
        Term
        Loans in whole or in part prior to the 1st
        anniversary of the
        Closing Date other than as may be permitted pursuant to Section 8.4(d) in
        respect of the sale of Westlake or Boynton or the Whittier Residence. From
        and
        after the first anniversary
        of

the
        Closing Date, the Borrowers may
        prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and other Obligations
        in whole but not in part at any time,
        without
        premium or penalty, other than as set forth in Section
        2.10(a).

       

      Section
        2.4  Mandatory
        Payments.
        (a)
Excess
        Cash Flow. For any quarter ending after the 2nd
        anniversary of the Closing Date, if the Consolidated Project Yield shall
        be less
        than 10% (for the relevant period as set forth in Section 5.1), the Borrowers
        shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, within five (5)
        Business Days after the last date Financial Statements can be delivered pursuant
        to Section 6.1(b)
        for such
        quarter, an amount equal to 100% of the Excess Cash Flow for such quarter
        and
        continuing thereafter on the last Business Day of each calendar month, which
        amount shall be held in the Cash Collateral Escrow; provided, however, if
        the
        Consolidated Project Yield shall, for two (2) consecutive quarters, be equal
        to
        or greater than 10% (for the relevant period as set forth in Section 5.1),
        the
        mandatory payment of Excess Cash Flow required pursuant to this Section 2.4
        shall be suspended, but only for so long as the Consolidated Project Yield
        shall
        remain equal to or greater than 10% (for the relevant period as set forth
        in
        Section 5.1).

       

      (c)  Cash
        Collateral Escrow.
        All
        funds held in the Cash Collateral Escrow shall be additional collateral to
        secure the Borrowers Obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the other provisions
        of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall have the right, but not the obligation,
        at any time when there shall exist a positive balance in the Cash Collateral
        Escrow, to repay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Term
        Loan, subject to Section
        2.3,
        up to
        the amount held in the Cash Collateral Escrow. In such event, within ten
        (10)
        days of such repayment, Administrative Agent shall cause an amount equal
        to the
        amount so repaid to be released to the Borrowers from the Cash Collateral
        Escrow.

       

      (d)  Asset
        Sales and Property Loss Events. Upon
        receipt on or after the Closing Date by any Borrower of Net Cash Proceeds
        arising from (i) any
        Transfer by any Borrower of any of its property other than Transfers of its
        own
        Equity Interests and Transfers of property permitted hereunder in reliance
        upon
        any of clauses
        (a)
        through
(c)
        of
Section 8.4
        or
        (ii) any
        Property Loss Event with respect to any property of any Borrower to the extent
        resulting, in the aggregate with all other such Property Loss Events, in
        the
        receipt by any of them of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $50,000,
        such Borrower shall immediately pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative
        Agent an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided,
        however,
        that,
        in the case of clause
        (ii)
        above,
        upon any such receipt, as long as no Event of Default shall be continuing,
        any
        Borrower may make Permitted Reinvestments with such Net Cash Proceeds and
        such
        Borrower shall not be required to make or cause such payment to the extent
        (x)
        such Net Cash Proceeds are intended to be or are actually used to make Permitted
        Reinvestments and (y) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date for such Net Cash
        Proceeds, such Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative
        Agent an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount applicable to
        such
        Reinvestment Prepayment Date.

       

      (e)  Application
        of Payments.
        Any
        payments made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4
        shall be
        applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.6(b).

        for
        the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of other Obligations,
        at a
        rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to
        time.

       

      (b)  Default
        Interest.
        Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a)

        excess of the interest rate applicable to such Obligations from time to time,
        payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise
        be applicable.

      (c)  Application
        of Payments During an Event of Default.
        Each
        Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each other Borrower

        indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent,
        (ii)

      (d)  Application
        of Payments Generally.
        All
        repayments of Term Loans shall be applied first,
        to
        repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then,
        to
        repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans. All repayments of
        Term
        Loans shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of such outstanding
        principal amounts of the Term Loans in the order of their maturities. Any
        priority level set forth in this Section 2.6
        that
        includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing
        after
        the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency,
        reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing
        or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.

       

       

      Section
        2.7  Payments
        and Computations.
        (a)
        Procedure. The Borrowers shall make each payment under any Loan Document
        not
        later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by
        wire transfer to the following account (or at such other account or by such
        other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have
        notified the Borrowers in writing within a reasonable time prior to such
        payment) in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or
        counterclaim:

      The
        Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed
        immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest
        or
        fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth
        in
Section 2.6.
        The
        Lenders shall make any payment under any Loan Document in immediately available
        Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim. 

       

      (b)  Computations
        of Interests and Fees.
        All
        computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative
        Agent
        on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans whose
        interest rate is calculated based on the rate set forth in clause
        (a)
        of the
        definition of “Base Rate”, 365/366 days), in each case for the actual number of
        days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
        period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination of
        an
        interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the
        Administrative Agent (including determinations of a Eurodollar Rate or Base
        Rate
        in accordance with the definitions of “Eurodollar Rate” and “Base Rate”,
        respectively) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes,
        absent manifest error.

       

      (c)  Payment
        Dates.
        Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than
        a
        Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next
        succeeding Business Day without any increase in such payment as a result
        of
        additional interest or fees; provided,
        however,
        that
        such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension
        of
        time.

      (d)  Advancing
        Payments.
        Unless
        the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers to
        the
        Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that such
        Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may
        assume
        that the Borrowers has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent
        on
        such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
        cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to
        the
        amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrowers shall
        not
        have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall
        repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such
        Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the
        first
        Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for
        each
        day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date
        such
        Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

       

       

      Section
        2.8  Evidence
        of Debt.
        (a)
        Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
        practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender
        resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the
        amounts
        of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
        under this Agreement.
        In
        addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations
        or
        having identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as agent
        of
        the Borrowers solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall
        establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at
        such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrowers) a record of
        ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name
        and
        address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether
        by
        assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each
        such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any
        right
        to receive any payment hereunder.

       

      (b)  Records
        of Administrative Agent.
        The
        Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrowers solely for tax purposes
        and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.8,
        shall
        establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11
        (or at
        such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrowers)
        (A) a
        record of ownership (the “Register”)
        in
        which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests
        (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative
        Agent,
        each Lender and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right
        and
        (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which
        it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change
        thereto pursuant to Section 2.12
        (Substitution
        of Lenders)
        and
Section 11.2
        (Assignments
        and Participations; Binding Effect)),
        (2)
        the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding
        of
        any participation described in clause
        (A)
        above,
        for Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the
        amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, and (5) any
        other
        payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers and its
        application to the Obligations. 

       

      (c)  Registered
        Obligations.
        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
        Loans
        (including any Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations, the
        right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such
        Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register
        and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This
        Section 2.8
        and
Section 11.2
        shall be
        construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered
        form”
within
        the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any
        related regulations (and any successor provisions).

       

      
        
           

        

        
          36

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (d)  Prima
        Facie Evidence.
        The
        entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to
clauses
        (a)
        and
(b)
        above
        shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima
        facie
        evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;
        provided,
        however,
        that no
        error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative
        Agent
        to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Borrower
        to
        repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the Borrowers,
        the
        Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
        recorded in the Register as a Lender, as applicable, for all purposes of
        this
        Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender
        shall be available for access by each Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
        and
        such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
        prior
        notice. No Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise
        permitted to review any information in the Register other than information
        with
        respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative
        Agent.

       

      (e)  Notes.
        Upon
        any Lender’s request, made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall
        promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of
        such
        Lender and substantially in the form of Exhibit E;
        provided,
        however,
        that
        only one Note shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender
        exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to
        such
        Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated
        the
        date of the original Notes and the Note being replaced shall be voided and
        returned to the Borrowers, and (ii) in the case of loss, destruction or
        mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances, provided that such
        Lender provides Borrowers with a lost note affidavit and indemnity related
        thereto.
        Each
        Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title
        or
        interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan,
        as set
        forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer
        instrument or obligation.

       

       

      Section
        2.9  Suspension
        of Eurodollar Rate.
        Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article II, the
        following shall apply:

       

      (a)  Interest
        Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.
        In the
        event that (A) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair
        means
        do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference
        to
        which the Eurodollar Rate is determined or (B) the Required Lenders notify
        the
        Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will
        not
        adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such
        Loans
        for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify
        the
        Parent and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or
        to
        continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause
        (c)
        below
until
        the
        Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent that the Required Lenders have
        reasonably determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
        exist.

       

      (b)  Illegality.
        If any
        Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the
        interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement
        shall
        make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is
        unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurodollar
        Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then,
        on
        notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through
        the
        Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue
        Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause
        (c)
        below
        until such 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          37

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      Lender
        shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrowers that it has
        determined that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans.

       

      (c)  Effect
        of Suspension.
        If the
        obligation of any Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans is
        suspended, (A) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender
        would otherwise be obligated to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (B) the Borrowers
        may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing to make any Eurodollar Rate Loan
        and
        (C) each existing Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Lender shall automatically
        and
        immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause
        (a)
        above,
        on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be converted into
        a Base
        Rate Loan.

       

       

      Section
        2.10  Breakage
        Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.
        (a)
        Breakage Costs.
        The
        Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to the
        Borrowers (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities
        (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or
        reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare
        to
        fund, to fund or to maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to
        the
        Borrowers but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant
        Loans)
        that such Lender may incur (A) to the extent any Eurodollar Rate Loan is
        paid
        (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted
        to
        a Base Rate Loan (including because of Section 2.09) on a date that is not
        the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (B) as a consequence of
        any failure by the Borrowers to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required
        by the
        terms hereof.
        For
        purposes of this
        clause
        (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan
        made
        by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank
        market.

       

      (b) Increased
        Costs.
        If at
        any time any Lender reasonably determines that, after the date hereof, the
        adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or
        administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than
        any
        imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental
        Authority shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender
        of
        making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to agree to do
        so or
        of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit or
        (ii)
        imposing any other cost to such Lender with respect to compliance with its
        obligations under any Loan Document, then, upon demand by such Lender (with
        copy
        to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
        Agent for the account of such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate such
        Lender for such increased cost.

       

      (c) Increased
        Capital Requirements.
        If at
        any time any Lender determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption
        of, or
        any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of,
        or
        compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase
        of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority, regarding
        capital adequacy, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance
        charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, Obligations
        owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any
        similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of
        Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate
        of
        return on the capital of such Lender as a consequence of its obligations
        under
        or with respect to any Loan Document to a level below that which, taking
        into
        account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender, such Lender could have
        reasonably achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from
        time
        to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          38

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      Administrative
        Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
        of
        such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
        reduction.

       

      (d)  Compensation
        Certificate.
        Each
        demand for compensation under this Section 2.10
        shall be
        accompanied by a certificate of the Lender claiming such compensation, setting
        forth the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be conclusive,
        binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining
        such
        amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
        methods.

       

       

      Section
        2.11  Taxes.
        (a)
        Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this
        Section 2.11, each payment by any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be
        made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
        charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without
        deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding the taxes set forth
        in
        clauses (i) and (ii) below, the “Taxes”) other than for (i) taxes measured by
        net income (including branch profits taxes) and franchise taxes imposed in
        lieu
        of net income taxes, in each case imposed on any Secured Party as a result
        of a
        present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction
        of
        the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision
        or
        taxing authority thereof or therein (other than such connection arising solely
        from any Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations
        or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document) or (ii) taxes
        that
        are directly attributable to either (a) the failure (other than as a result
        of a
        change in any Requirement of Law that occurs after the date a Secured Party
        becomes a “Secured Party” under this Agreement) by any Secured Party to deliver
        the documentation required to be delivered by a Non-U.S. Lending Party claiming
        to be exempt from, or subject to a reduced rate for, United States withholding
        tax, pursuant to clause (f) below or (b) if the Non-U.S. Lender indicates
        in the
        documentation that they are only claiming a reduced rate for United States
        withholding, taxes up to the claimed rate of withholding with respect to
        the
        type of income for which the reduced rate is claimed. 

       

      (b)  Gross-Up.
        If any
        Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount
        payable under any Loan Document (other than any Secured Hedging Agreement)
        to
        any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure
        that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions
        applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.11),
        such
        Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions
        been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrowers
        shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority
        or
        other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and
        (iv) within thirty (30) days after such payment is made, the Borrowers
        shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of
        a
        receipt evidencing such payment; provided,
        however,
        that no
        such increase shall be made with respect to, and no Borrower shall be required
        to indemnify any such Secured Party pursuant to clause
        (d)
        below for,
        withholding taxes to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts existed
        on the date that such Secured Party became a “Secured Party” under this
        Agreement in the capacity under which such Secured Party makes a claim under
        this clause
        (b),
        except
        in each case to the extent such Secured Party is a direct or indirect assignee
        (other than pursuant to Section 2.12
        (Substitution
        of Lenders))
        of any
        other Secured Party that was entitled, at the time the assignment of such
        other
        Secured Party became effective, to receive additional amounts under this
        clause
        (b).

      (c)  Other
        Taxes.
        In
        addition, the Borrowers agree to pay, and authorize the Administrative Agent
        to
        pay in their names, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, transfer,
        mortgage, recording charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable
        Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect
        thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case
        arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with
        respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein
        (collectively, “Other
        Taxes”).
        Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any
        Borrower, such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its
        address referred to in Section 11.11,
        the
        original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
        thereof.

       

      (d)  Indemnification.
        The
        Borrowers shall reimburse and indemnify, within thirty (30) days after receipt
        of demand therefor from the Administrative Agent, each Secured Party for
        all
        Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any
        jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.11)
        actually paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom
        or
        with respect thereto.
        A
        certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf
        of
        such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause
        (d),
        setting
        forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrowers with
        copy
        to the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all
        purposes, absent manifest error. 

       

      (e)  Mitigation.
        Any
        Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11
        shall
        use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and
        Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if
        such a
        change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that
        may
        thereafter accrue) and would not, in the reasonable determination of such
        Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

       

      (f)  Tax
        Forms.
        (i)
        Each Non-U.S. Lender Party shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S.
        Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior
        to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete,
        (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent
        form
        or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i)
        and
(z)
        from
        time to time if requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or,
        in
        the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the
        Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant
        or SPV,
        the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following,
        as
        applicable:
        (A)

        is
        effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption
        from U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (claiming
        exemption from U.S. withholding tax for any portion of any sums paid or payable
        to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under any of the Loan Documents for which it
        does
        not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to thereto) or
        any
        successor forms,
        (B) in

        Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a

      Non-U.S.
        Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax with respect
        to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan
        Documents. Unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent have received
        forms
        or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any
        Loan
        Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States
        withholding tax, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall withhold
        amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such
        payments at the applicable statutory rate.

       

      (i)  Each
        U.S.
        Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes
        a
“U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such
        form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence
        of
        any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously
        delivered by it pursuant to this clause
        (f)
        and (D)
        from time to time if requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent
        (or,
        in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the
        Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant
        or SPV,
        the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying
        that
        such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding
        tax) or any successor form.

       

      (ii)  Each
        Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified
        an
        SPV as such to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such participant
        or
        SPV the documents described in this clause
        (f)
        and
        provide them to the Administrative Agent.

       

       

      Section
        2.12  Substitution
        of Lenders.
        (a)
        Substitution Right. In the event that any Lender that is not an Affiliate
        of the
        Administrative Agent (an “Affected Lender”) (i) makes a claim under clause (b)
        (Increased Costs) or (c) (Increased Capital Requirements) of Section 2.10,
        (ii) notifies the Parent pursuant to Section 2.9(b) (Illegality) that it
        becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar
        Rate
        Loan, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (Taxes),
        (iv) becomes a Non-Funding Lender or (v) does not consent to any amendment,
        waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required
        Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders, the
        Borrowers may either pay in full such Affected Lender without premium or
        penalty
        with respect to amounts due with the consent of the Administrative Agent
        or
        substitute for such Affected Lender any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved
        Fund
        of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not
        be
        unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent (in each case,
        a
“Substitute Lender”).
        Upon
        Borrowers’ request, the Administrative Agent shall solicit and obtain a
        Substitute Lender.

       

      (b)  Procedure.
        To
        substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such
        Affected Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver a notice to the Administrative
        Agent and such Affected Lender.
        The
        effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery
        to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers (or, as may be applicable in
        the
        case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the
        account
        of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding
        on,
        the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing
        to
        such Affected Lender (including interest through the end of the applicable
        Interest Period that will be owed because of such payment), and (ii) in the
        case
        of a substitution, (A) except in the event the Affected Lender 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          41

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      is
        a
        Non-Funding Lender, payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c)
        and (B)
        an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
        the
        Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things,
        agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the Commitment
        of the Affected Lender.

       

      (c)  Effectiveness.
        Upon
        satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause
        (b)
        above,
        the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the
        Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full, such Affected
        Lender’s Commitments shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any
        substitution, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and
        the
        Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such
        Affected Lender under the Loan Documents, except that the Affected Lender
        shall
        retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of
        the
        Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute
        Lender shall become a “Lender”
        hereunder having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment
        and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
        Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in
        its
        possession; provided,
        however,
        that
        the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver
        any
        such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding
        assignment) invalid.

        or conduct of business, except where the failure to obtain such Permits,

        or any
        other private commercial insurance managed care and employee assistance program

        Payor Programs”),
        to
        which any Borrower may presently be subject with respect to any
        Facility.

       

      (c)  With
        respect to any Facility then being acquired, all Licenses necessary or desirable

        sale/leaseback or similar arrangement.

       

      (d)  To
        the
        Borrowers’ knowledge, with respect to any Facility then being acquired, there
        are no proceedings by any Governmental Authority or notices thereof that

        directly or indirectly, or with the passage of time (i) have a
        material adverse impact on Borrowers’ ability
        to accept and/or retain patients or residents or operate such Facility for
        its
        current use or result in the imposition of a fine, a sanction, a lower rate
        certification or a lower reimbursement rate for services rendered to eligible
        patients or residents, (ii) modify, limit or result in the transfer, suspension,
        revocation or imposition of probationary use of any of the Licenses, other

        Payor Programs.

       

      (f)  With
        respect to any Facility then being acquired, there are no current, pending

        Medicare and Medicaid programs. 

       

      (g)  No
        Borrower is a participant in any federal program whereby any Governmental
        Authority may have the right to recover funds by reason of the advance of
        federal funds, including those authorized under the Hill-Burton Act (42 U.S.C.
        291, et
        seq.),
        as it
        may be amended.

        Each
        representation and warranty in each Related Document is true and correct
        in all
        material respects and no default, or event that, with the giving of notice

        of the Closing Date, all applicable waiting periods in connection with the
        Acquisition have expired or have been terminated without any action being
        taken
        by any Governmental Authority (including any requisite waiting period (and
        any
        extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
        of
        1976).

       

       

      Section
        4.3  Ownership
        of the Borrowers.
        The

        Closing Date. All outstanding Equity Interests of each Person listed thereon
        have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable (to the extent
        applicable). The Equity Interests of each Borrower are free and clear of
        all
        Liens other than the security interests created by the Loan Documents and,
        in
        the case of joint ventures, Permitted Liens. There are no Equity Equivalents
        with respect to the Equity Interests of any Borrower (other than the Parent),
        as
        of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 4.3. There are no
        Equity Equivalents with respect to the Equity Interests of Parent. There
        are no
        Contractual Obligations or other understandings to which any Borrower is
        a party
        with respect to (including any restriction on) the issuance, voting, Transfer
        or
        pledge of any Equity Interest or Equity Equivalent of any
        Borrower.

       

       

      Section
        4.4  Financial
        Statements.
        (a)
        To Borrowers’ knowledge each of (i) the audited Consolidated balance sheet of
        the Seller as at December 31, 2005 and the related Consolidated statements
        of
        income, retained earnings and cash flows of the Seller for the Fiscal Year
        then
        ended and (ii) subject to the absence of footnote disclosure and normal
        recurring year end audit adjustments, the unaudited Consolidated balance
        sheets
        of the Seller as at September 30, 2006 and the related Consolidated statements
        of income, retained earnings and cash flows of the Seller for the 3 months
        then
        ended, copies of each of which have been furnished to the Administrative
        Agent,
        fairly present in all material respects the Consolidated financial position,
        

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          48

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      results
        of operations and cash flow of the Seller as at the dates indicated and for
        the
        periods indicated in accordance with GAAP.

       

      (b)  Prior
        to
        the Closing Date, the Borrowers had no property (other than, in the case
        of
        Parent, the Equity Interests of the SPEs), liabilities or Contractual
        Obligations other than the Loan Documents and the Related Documents and no
        Borrower had any Subsidiary (other than, in the case of Parent, the Equity
        Interests of the SPEs). 

       

      (c)  The
        Initial Projections have been prepared by the Borrowers in light of the past
        operations of the business of the Seller and its Subsidiaries and reflect
        Projections for the 3 year period beginning December, 2006 on a quarterly
        basis
        for the first year and on a year by year basis thereafter. As of the Closing
        Date, the Initial Projections are based upon estimates and assumptions stated
        therein, all of which the Borrowers believe to be reasonable and fair in
        light
        of conditions and facts known to the Borrowers as of the Closing Date and
        reflect the good faith, reasonable and fair estimates by the Borrowers of
        the
        future Consolidated financial performance of the Parent and the other

        are no strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns or lockouts existing, pending (or,
        to
        the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened) against or involving any Borrower,
        except, for those that would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
        Effect. Except
        as
        set forth on Schedule 4.12, as of the Closing Date, (a) there is no
        collective bargaining or similar agreement with any union, labor organization,

        Code
        and other Requirements of Law, (y) there are no existing or pending (or to
        the
        knowledge of any Borrower, threatened) claims (other than routine claims
        for
        benefits in the normal course), sanctions, actions, lawsuits or other
        proceedings or investigation involving any Benefit Plan to

      which
        any
        Borrower incurs or otherwise has or could have an obligation or any Liability

        remain outstanding that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
        Effect. No

        Affiliate would have any Withdrawal Liability as a result of a complete
        withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan on the date this representation is

        that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
        Effect.

        a
        reasonable likelihood of resulting in Material Environmental Liabilities
        and (f)
        each Borrower has made available to the Administrative Agent copies of all
        existing environmental reports, reviews and audits and all documents pertaining
        to actual or potential Environmental Liabilities, in each case to the extent

        (a)The

        alleging a violation of or liability under any Environmental Law, that, for
        each
        of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above (and, in the case of clause (C), if

        privileges, franchises and Permits necessary or desirable in the conduct
        of its
        business, except, in the case of this clause (b), where the failure to do
        so
        would not have a Material Adverse Effect on any Borrower or any
        Facility.

       

       

      Section
        7.2  Compliance
        with Laws and Healthcare Matters, Etc.
        (a) Each
        Borrower shall comply with all applicable Requirements of Law, Contractual

        have
        a material adverse impact on any Borrower or any Facility. 

       

      (b) Without
        limiting the generality of the forgoing or any other provision of this
        Agreement, each Borrower and their employees and contractors (other than

        Each
        Borrower shall maintain in all material respects all records required to
        be
        maintained by any Governmental Authority or otherwise under the Healthcare
        Laws.
        Each Borrower shall maintain all Governmental Approvals necessary under
        applicable Requirements of Law to own and/or operate the Facilities, as
        applicable (including such Governmental Approvals as are required under such
        the

        of
        the Facilities are listed on Schedule

        hereto
        (collectively with all certificates of need, if applicable, the “Licenses”).
        Each
        Borrower shall operate the Facilities in accordance with and shall maintain
        in
        full force and effect, all Licenses. True and complete copies of the Licenses
        have been delivered to Administrative Agent.

      (e) Each
        Facility has in full force and effect all necessary Medicare and Medicaid
        provider agreements and similar agreements with other third party payors
        and
        shall be operated in compliance with all requirements for participation in
        all
        Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield, and any other private
        commercial insurance managed care and employee assistance program (such
        programs, the “Third-Party
        Payor Programs”)
        Third-Party Payor Programs.

       

      (f) No
        Borrower, other than in the normal course of business, shall change the terms

        (including the amount and timing of finance charges, fees and write-offs).
        All
        cost reports and financial reports submitted by any Borrower to any third

        including patient or resident trust fund accounts, will remain true and correct
        in all material respects. 

       

      (g) Intentionally
        Omitted.

       

      (h) No
        patient or resident care agreements entered into after the Permitted Acquisition
        Closing Date for such Facility, shall deviate in any material adverse respect
        from the form patient or resident care agreements which have been delivered
        to
        Administrative Agent, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable
        law.

       

       

      Section
        7.3  Payment
        of Obligations.
        Each
        Borrower shall pay or discharge before they become delinquent (a) all material
        claims, taxes, assessments, charges and levies imposed by any Governmental
        Authority and (b) all other lawful claims that if unpaid would, by the operation
        of applicable Requirements of Law, become a Lien upon any property of any
        Borrower, except, in each case, for those whose amount or validity is being
        contested in good faith by proper proceedings diligently conducted and for
        which
        adequate reserves are maintained by the appropriate Borrower.

       

       

      Section
        7.4  Maintenance
        of Property.
        Each
        Borrower shall maintain and preserve, in compliance with all Requirements
        of
        Law, (a) in good working order and condition all of its property necessary
        in
        the conduct of its business and (b) all rights, permits, licenses, approvals
        and
        privileges (including all Permits) necessary, used or useful, whether because
        of
        its ownership, lease, sublease or other operation or occupation of property
        or
        other conduct of its business, and shall make all necessary or appropriate
        filings with, and give all required notices to, Government Authorities, except
        for such failures to maintain and preserve the items set forth in clauses
        (a)
        and (b) above for each Facility, that would not materially (x) impair the
        value
        or marketability of such Facility or (y) interfere with the ordinary conduct
        of
        the business conducted and proposed to be conducted at such
        Facility.

       

       

      Section
        7.5  Maintenance
        of Insurance.
        (a)
        Property.
        The
        Borrowers shall keep the Real Properties insured against damage by fire and
        the
        other hazards covered by a standard extended coverage and “special perils”
insurance policy (including a separate policy for broad form boiler and
        machinery coverage (without exclusion for explosion)) for the full insurable
        value thereof, the
        term
“full insurable value” to mean the actual replacement cost of the improvements
        and the personal property (without taking into account depreciation or
        co-insurance), and shall maintain such other casualty insurance as reasonably
        required by the

      Administrative
        Agent, including, without limitation, ordinance or law coverage, in amounts
        and
        in form approved by the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date which
        amounts and form shall not be changed without the prior written consent of
        the
        Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall keep the Facilities insured against
        loss by flood if any Facility is located in an area identified by the Federal
        Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards and in
        which
        flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance
        Act
        of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the National Flood
        Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (and any successor acts thereto) in an amount
        at
        least equal to the amount approved by the Administrative Agent as of the
        Closing
        Date. The proceeds of insurance paid on account of any damage or destruction
        to
        any Facility shall be paid to the Administrative Agent to be applied as provided
        in Section 2.6(b).

       

      (b) Liability.
        The
        Borrowers shall maintain (i) commercial general liability insurance with
        respect to the Facilities; (ii) worker’s compensation insurance and
        employer’s liability insurance covering employees at the Facilities employed by
        the Borrowers (to the extent required, and in the amounts required by applicable
        laws); (iii) business interruption insurance, including use and occupancy,
        rental income loss and extra expense, against all periods covered by the
        Borrowers’ property insurance; (iv) umbrella liability, (v) builder’s
        risk insurance, as applicable, and (vi) Terrorism insurance (subject to the
        requirements of this Section
        7.5).
        All of
        the above shall be maintained at all times during the term of the Loan with
        coverages, in the amounts and forms and with limits approved by the
        Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date which amounts, limits and form
        shall
        not be changed or reduced without the prior written consent of the
        Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding
        anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if on the Closing Date,
        Terrorism is an exclusion from coverage in any such insurance policy with
        respect to any Facility, then the Borrowers shall, upon the Administrative
        Agent’s request, obtain a separate policy insuring specifically against
        Terrorism; provided, that such coverage is (A) customarily obtained by owners
        of
        property of similar size and quality of such Facility and (B) readily available
        at a cost that, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion, is commercially
        reasonable.

       

      (c) Intentionally
        Omitted.
        

       

      (d) Form
        and Quality.
        All
        insurance policies shall be endorsed in form and substance acceptable to
        the
        Administrative Agent to name the Administrative Agent as an additional insured,
        loss payee or mortgagee thereunder, as its interest may appear, with loss
        payable to the Administrative Agent, without contribution, under a standard
        New
        York (or local equivalent) mortgagee clause. All such insurance policies
        and
        endorsements shall be fully paid for and contain such provisions and expiration
        dates and be in such form and issued by such insurance companies licensed
        to do
        business in the State where each Facility is located, with a rating of “A-IX” or
        better as established by Best’s Rating Guide (or an equivalent rating approved
        in writing by the Administrative Agent). Each policy shall provide that such
        policy may not be cancelled or materially changed except upon thirty (30)
        days’
prior written notice (or ten (10) days’ prior written notice if for non-payment)
        of intention of non-renewal, cancellation or material change to the
        Administrative Agent and that no act or thing done by the Borrowers shall
        invalidate any policy as against the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers
        shall
        deliver copies of all original policies certified to the Administrative Agent
        by
        the insurance company or authorized agent as being true copies, together
        with
        the endorsements required hereunder. The proceeds of insurance policies coming
        into the possession of the Administrative Agent shall be deemed trust funds,
        and
        the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to apply such proceeds as herein
        provided. 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          61

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      The
        Borrowers shall not maintain any separate or additional property insurance
        which
        is contributing in the event of loss unless it is properly endorsed and
        otherwise satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in all respects.

       

      (e) Adjustments.
        The
        Borrowers shall give immediate written notice of any loss to the insurance
        carrier and to the Administrative Agent. During any Event of Default, the
        Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize and empower the Administrative Agent,
        as
        attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers coupled with an interest, to make proof
        of
        loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear
        in
        and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect
        and
        receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom the Administrative Agent’s
        reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Nothing
        contained in this Section 7.5,
        however, shall require the Administrative Agent to incur any expense or take
        any
        action hereunder, provided if the Administrative Agent commences to make
        proof
        of loss, adjust or compromise any such claim, then it shall be obligated
        to
        complete same.

       

      (f) The
        Administrative Agent’s Right to Purchase Insurance.
        In the
        event the Borrowers fail to provide the Administrative Agent with evidence
        of
        the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, upon notice to Borrowers,
        the
        Administrative Agent may purchase insurance at the Borrowers’ expense to protect
        the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Facilities. This insurance may, but
        need not, protect the Borrowers’ interests. The coverage purchased by the
        Administrative Agent may not pay any claim made by any Borrower or any claim
        that is made against any Borrower in connection with the Facilities. The
        Borrowers may later cancel, or request the Administrative Agent to cancel,
        which
        the Administrative Agent shall promptly do, any insurance purchased by the
        Administrative Agent, but only after providing the Administrative Agent with
        evidence that the Borrowers have obtained insurance as required by this
        Agreement. If the Administrative Agent purchases insurance for the Facilities,
        the Borrowers will be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs of such insurance
        (regardless of whether or not Borrower is able to procure insurance at a
        lower
        cost), including interest and other charges imposed by the Administrative
        Agent
        in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date
        of
        the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance
        may
        be added to the Loan, and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of
        the
        policy to the Borrowers. 

       

       

      Section
        7.6  Keeping
        of Books.
        The
        Borrowers shall keep proper books of record and account, in which full, true
        and
        correct entries shall be made in accordance with GAAP and all other applicable
        Requirements of Law of all financial transactions and the assets and business
        of
        each Borrower.

       

       

      Section
        7.7  Access
        to
        Books and Property.
        Each
        Borrower shall permit the Administrative Agent and MLC, at any reasonable
        time
        during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice (except that,
        during the continuance of an Event of Default, no such notice shall be required)
        to (a) visit and, subject to the rights of the tenants under the Leases,
        inspect
        the property of each Borrower including, without limitation, each Facility,
        and
        examine and make copies of and abstracts from, the corporate (and similar),
        financial, operating and other books and records of each Borrower, and (b)
        discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of each Borrower with any officer
        or
        director of any Borrower;
        provided, however, so long as no Default then exists, the combined total
        of such
        visits and inspections by Administrative Agent and MLC shall not exceed more
        than two (2) such visits or inspections in any 12 month period.

       

       

      
        
           

        

        
          62

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      Section
        7.8  Environmental.
        Each
        Borrower shall comply with, and maintain its real
        property, whether owned, leased, subleased or otherwise operated or occupied,
        in
        compliance with, all applicable Environmental Laws (including by implementing
        any Remedial Action necessary to achieve such compliance or that is required
        by
        orders and directives of any Governmental Authority) except for failures
        to
        comply that would not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse impact on
        any
        Borrower or any Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of
        Default
        is continuing or if the Administrative Agent at any time has a reasonable
        basis
        to believe that there exist violations of Environmental Laws by any Borrower
        or
        that there exist any Environmental Liabilities, in each case, that would
        have a
        material adverse impact on any Borrower or any Facility, then such Borrower
        shall, promptly upon receipt of request from the Administrative Agent, cause
        the
        performance of, and allow the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons
        access to such Real Property for the purpose of conducting, by reputable
        environmental consulting firms, such environmental audits and assessments,
        including, if recommended by a phase I environmental assessment, subsurface
        sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports,
        in
        each case as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
        Such audits, assessments and reports shall be conducted and prepared only
        by
        reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to the
        Administrative Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable
        to
        the Administrative Agent.

        distributed to them by the Borrowers, each other Borrower) solely (a) to
        consummate the Acquisitions and for the payment of related transaction costs,
        fees and expenses, (b) for the payment of transaction costs, fees and expenses
        incurred in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated

        to the Administrative Agent such modifications to the terms of the Loan
        Documents (or, to the extent applicable as determined by the Administrative
        Agent, such other documents), in each case in form and substance reasonably
        satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and as the Administrative Agent
        deems

        and personal property, including all of its Equity Interests and Equity
        Equivalents and other securities, as security for the Obligations of such
        Borrower.

      (b)  deliver
        to the Administrative Agent all documents, if any, representing all Equity
        Interests, Equity Equivalents and other securities pledged pursuant to the
        documents delivered pursuant to clause
        (a)
        above,
        together with undated powers or endorsements duly executed in
        blank;

       

      (c)  deliver
        to the Administrative Agent a Mortgage on any real property owned or leased

        with
        respect thereto; 

       

      (d)  to

        all other actions, or cause the Permitted Investors to take all actions,
        reasonably necessary or advisable to ensure the validity or continuing validity
        of any guaranty for any Obligation or any Lien securing any Obligation, to
        perfect, maintain, evidence or enforce any Lien securing any Obligation or
        to
        ensure such Liens have the same priority as that of the Liens on similar
        Collateral set forth in the Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date,
        including the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdictions as
        may be
        required by the Loan Documents or applicable Requirements of Law or as the
        Administrative Agent may otherwise reasonably request; and

       

      (e)  deliver
        to the Administrative Agent legal opinions similar to those delivered to
        the
        Administrative Agent on the Closing Date.

        Each
        Borrower shall (i) deposit all of its cash in deposit accounts that are

        Borrower shall, within 30 days after the Closing Date, enter into and thereafter

        satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to provide protection against
        fluctuation of interest rates until the Scheduled Maturity Date for a notional
        amount that, when added to the aggregate principal amount of Consolidated
        Total
        Debt of Parent bearing interest at a fixed rate, equals at least 75% of the
        aggregate principal amount of the Consolidated Total Debt of Parent.

      proportion
        of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents,
        (ii)
        any action taken by the Administrative Agent in reliance upon the instructions
        of Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and

        (a)
        above,
        the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take,
        any
        action (i) unless, upon demand, the Administrative Agent receives an
        indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent
        applicable and acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Secured
        Party)
        against all Liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be
        imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any
        Related Person thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of the Administrative
        Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement
        of
        Law.

       

       

      Section
        10.4  Delegation
        of Rights and Duties.
        The

        (including any Secured Party).
        Any

        Article X to the extent provided by the Administrative
        Agent.

       

       

      Section
        10.5  Reliance
        and Liability.
        (a)

        the extent set forth in Section 2.8, (iii) consult with any of its Related

        other experts (including advisors to, and accountants and experts engaged
        by,
        any Borrower) and (iv) rely and act upon any document and information (including
        those transmitted by Electronic Transmission) and any telephone message or

        signed
        or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties.

       

      (b) None
        of
        the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable to Lenders
        for
        any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection
        with any Loan Document, and each Lender and each Borrower, hereby waives
        and
        shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except
        to
        the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence or
        willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such
        Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by
        a
        court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly
        set
        forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative
        Agent:

       

      
        
           

        

        
          73

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (i)  shall
        not
        be responsible or otherwise incur liability to Lenders for any action or
        omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders
        or for
        the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable
        care (other than employees, officers and directors of the Administrative
        Agent,
        when acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent); 

       

      (ii)  shall
        not
        be responsible to any Secured Party for the due execution, legality, validity,
        enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the
        attachment or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under
        or
        in connection with, any Loan Document;

       

      (iii)  makes
        no
        warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Secured
        Party
        for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made
        or
        furnished by or on behalf of any Related Person or any Borrower in connection
        with any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other
        document or information with respect to any Borrower, whether or not transmitted
        or (except for documents expressly required under any Loan Document to be
        transmitted to the Lenders) omitted to be transmitted by the Administrative
        Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof,
        or for
        the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by the
        Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan Documents; and

       

      (iv)  shall
        not
        have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance
        of
        any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any
        Loan
        Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Borrower
        or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation
        of
        any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or
        knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice
        from any Borrower, any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default
        clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case the Administrative Agent
        shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);

       

      and,
        for
        each of the items set forth in clauses
        (i)
        through
(iv)
        above,
        each Lender and each Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and
        each
        Borrower shall cause each other Borrower to waive and agree not to assert)
        any
        right, claim or cause of action it might have against the Administrative
        Agent
        based thereon, except with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
        of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

       

       

      Section
        10.6  Administrative
        Agent Individually.
        The
        Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions
        of
        credit to, acquire Equity Interests and Equity Equivalents of, engage in
        any
        kind of business with, any Borrower or Affiliate thereof as though it were
        not
        acting as the Administrative Agent and may receive separate fees and other
        payments therefor. To the extent the Administrative Agent or any of its
        Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall
        have
        and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject
        to
        the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”,
“Required Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly
        provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, the Administrative
        Agent 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          74

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      or
        such
        Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as
        one of
        the Required Lenders.

       

       

      Section
        10.7  Lender
        Credit Decision.
        Each
        Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon
        the
        Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon
        any
        document (including the Disclosure Documents) solely or in part because such
        document was transmitted by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
        Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition
        and affairs of each Borrower and make and continue to make its own credit
        decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any
        action
        under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated
        in any
        Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it
        shall
        deem appropriate.
        Except
        for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by
        the
        Administrative Agent to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall not have
        any
        duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
        information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
        and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any Affiliate
        of any
        Borrower that may come in to the possession of the Administrative Agent or
        any
        of its Related Persons.

       

       

      Section
        10.8  Expenses;
        Indemnities.
        (a)
        Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of its
        Related
        Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower) promptly upon demand
        for
        such Lender’s Pro Rata Share with respect to the Facilities of any costs and
        expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and
        other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any
        Borrower) that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of its
        Related
        Persons in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
        modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations,
        through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other
        proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or
        responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

       

      (b) Each
        Lender further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its
        Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower), from and
        against
        such Lender’s aggregate Pro Rata Share with respect to the Facilities of the
        Liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly
        withholding or backup withholding on payments made to on or for the account
        of
        any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
        Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating
        to or
        arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, any
        Related Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated
        in
        or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or
        omitted
        to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons under
        or
        with respect to any of the foregoing; provided,
        however,
        that no
        Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
        Persons
        to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence
        or
        willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such
        Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
        non-appealable judgment or order.

       

       

      Section
        10.9  Resignation
        of Administrative Agent.
        (a)
        The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such
        resignation to the Lenders and the Parent, effective on the date set forth
        in
        such notice or, if not such date is set forth therein, upon the date such
        notice
        shall be effective. If the Administrative Agent delivers any such notice,
        the
        Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
        Agent. If, within 30 days after 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          75

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      the
        retiring Administrative Agent having given notice of resignation, no successor
        Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has
        accepted such appointment, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall,
        on
        behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among
        the
        Lenders. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior
        consent of the Borrowers, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall
        not
        be required during the continuance of a Default.

       

      (b) Effective
        immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall
        be
        discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii)
        the
        Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative
        Agent
        until a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment
        hereunder, (iii) the retiring Administrative Agent and its Related Persons
        shall
        no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than
        with
        respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring the
        Administrative Agent was, or because such Administrative Agent had been,
        validly
        acting as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject
        to
        its rights under Section 10.3,
        the
        retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably
        necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as
        Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon
        its
        acceptance of a valid appointment as Administrative Agent, a successor
        Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights,
        powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under
        the
        Loan Documents. 

       

       

      Section
        10.10  Release
        of Collateral.
        Each
        Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Administrative
        Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or
        subordinate) the following:

       

      (a)  any
        Borrower from its Obligations hereunder if all of the Equity Interests of
        such
        Borrower are disposed of in a Transfer permitted under the Loan Documents
        (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), provided, after giving effect
        to
        such Transfer, Borrowers have complied with the requirements of Section 7.10;
        and

       

      (b)  any
        Lien
        held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against
        (i) any Collateral that is disposed of by a Borrower in a Transfer permitted
        by
        the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent),
        to the
        extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to
Section 7.10
        after
        giving effect to such Transfer have been granted, (ii) any property subject
        to a
        Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 8.2(c)
        or (d),
        (iii)
        all of the Collateral and all the Borrowers, upon (A) termination of the
        Commitments, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other
        Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are
        then
        due and payable, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent
        Obligations, in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties
        satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Indemnitee that is owed
        such
        Obligations and (D) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent,
        receipt
        by the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Borrowers each in form
        and
        substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
        and
        (iv) any Lien on the Collateral related to Westlake, Boynton and the Whittier
        Residence upon the sale of same as permitted hereunder.

       

      Each
        Lender hereby directs the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
        hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from any Borrower,
        to
        execute and deliver or 

       

      
        
           

        

        
          76

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      file
        such
        documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the
        guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 10.10.

       

       

      Section
        10.11  Additional
        Secured Parties.
        The
        benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the
        Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available
        to
        any Secured Party that is not a Lender as long as, by accepting such benefits,
        such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other
        Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by
        the
        Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and
        substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Article X,
        Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff), Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments) and
        Section 11.20 (Confidentiality) and the decisions and actions of the
        Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required
        by
        the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the
        same
        extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
        foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 10.8 only to
        the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise
        relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in
        which
        case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited
        by
        any concept of Pro Rata Share or similar concept, (b) each of the Administrative
        Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without
        regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any
        Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived
        of
        the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected
        or put
        in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party
        or
        any such Obligation and (c) such Secured Party shall not have any right to
        be
        notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any

        (iv)
        does not
        apply to any change to mandatory prepayments, including those required under

        (x)(A) any waiver of any payment applied pursuant to Section 2.6(b)
        (Application
        of Mandatory Prepayments)

        any
        signature otherwise required and (z) the consent of the Borrowers shall not
        be
        required to change any order of priority set forth in Section 2.6.

       

      (b)  Each
        waiver or consent under any Loan Document shall be effective only in the
        specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No
        notice
        to or demand on any Borrower shall entitle any Borrower to any notice or
        demand
        in the same, similar or other circumstances. No failure on the part of any
        Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder
        shall
        operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial

        of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
        of any other right.

       

       

      Section
        11.2  Assignments
        and Participations;
        Binding Effect.
        (a)
        Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
        been
        executed by Parent, the other Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and
        when
        the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such
        Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to
        the
        benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Parent, the other Borrowers (in each
        case except for Article X), the Administrative Agent, each Lender and, to
        the extent provided in Section 10.11, each other Indemnitee and Secured
        Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
        Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in
        Section 10.9), none of Parent, the other Borrowers or the Administrative
        Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder
        or any
        interest herein.

       

      (b) Right
        to Assign.
        Each
        Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights
        and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments
        and its
        rights and obligations with respect to Loans) to (i) any existing Lender,
        (ii)
        any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing
        Lender or (iii) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be
        unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent and, as long
        as no
        Event of Default is continuing, the Borrowers; provided,
        however,
        that (x)
        such
        Transfers do not have to be ratable between the Facilities but must be ratable
        among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender and (y) the aggregate
        outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the
        applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments subject to any such Transfer
        shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, unless such Transfer is made
        to an
        existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender,
        is of
        the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest
        or is made with the prior consent of the Parent and the Administrative
        Agent.

       

      (c) Procedure.
        The
        parties to each Transfer made in reliance on clause
        (b)
        above
        (other than those described in clause
        (e)
        or
(f)
        below)
        shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (which shall keep a
        copy
        thereof) an Assignment, together with any existing Note subject to such Transfer
        (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent),
        any
        tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.11(f)
        and
        payment by the assignee to the Administrative Agent of an assignment fee
        in the
        amount of $3,500. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon
        such
        receipt and upon the Administrative Agent consenting to such Assignment,
        from
        and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative
        Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information
        contained in such Assignment.

       

      (d) Effectiveness.
        Effective upon the entry of such record in the Register, (i) such assignee
        shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations
        under
        the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such
        Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any
        applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry
        and
        (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
        under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment,
        relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the
        Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from
        its
        obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events
        or
        circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an
        Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an

      assigning
        Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall
        cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound
        by
Article X,
        Section 11.8
        (Right
        of Setoff)
        and
Section 11.9
        (Sharing
        of Payments)
        to the
        extent provided in Section 10.11
        (Additional
        Secured Parties)).

       

      (e) Grant
        of Security Interests.
        In
        addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2,
        each
        Lender may grant
        a
        security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights
        under
        this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights
        to
        payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve
        bank
        (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to
        the
        Administrative Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of
        the holders of, such Lender’s securities by notice to the Administrative Agent;
provided,
        however,
        that no
        such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any
        foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment
        in
        accordance with clause
        (b)
        above),
        shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender
        shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

       

      (f) Participants
        and SPVs.
        In
        addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2,
        each
        Lender may, at no cost to the Borrowers (unless such assignment or participation
        is undertaken at the request of Borrowers, which costs and expense in the
        case
        of syndication to MLC shall be less than or equal to $15,000), (x) with notice
        to the Administrative Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any
        part
        of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder
        (and
        the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant
        thereto
        shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder)
        and
        such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect
        to
        any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the Administrative
        Agent or the Parent, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to
        all or
        a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including
        all
        its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans); provided,
        however,
        that,
        whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or
        participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or
        be
        deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except
        as
        provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any
        obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and
        obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Borrowers and the Secured
        Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged
        and
        each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which
        shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A)
        each
        such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.10
        (Breakage
        Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements)
        and
2.11
        (Taxes),
        but
        only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender
        is
        required to collect pursuant to Section 2.11(f)
        and then
        only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in
        the
        absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may
        receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect
        to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option
        agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent
        by such
        SPV and such Lender, provided,
        however,
        that in
        no case (including pursuant to clause
        (A)
        or
(B)
        above)
        shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of
        any
        Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not
        be
        required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent
        hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect
        to
        any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or
        rights
        such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including
        the
        right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those
        described in clauses (iii)
        and
(iv)
        of

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          80

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      Section 11.1(a)
        with
        respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such
        participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants,
        except for those described in Section 11.1(a)(v)
        (or
        amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.10
        to
        release all or substantially
        all
        of the Collateral).
        No party
        hereto shall institute (and each Borrower shall cause each other Borrower
        not to
        institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause
        (f)
        any
        bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding,
        prior
        to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
        outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided,
        however,
        that
        each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee
        against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such
        Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including
        a
        failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement
        in
        the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and
        the
        payment in full of the Obligations.

        11.3  Costs
        and Expenses.

        action taken by any Borrower under or with respect to any Loan Document,
        even if
        required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party,
        shall
        be at the expense of such Borrower, and no Secured Party shall be required
        under
        any Loan Document to reimburse any Borrower therefor except as expressly
        provided therein. In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon

        Obligation (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request
        for
        document production relating thereto), including fees and disbursements of

      Section
        11.4  Indemnities.
        (a)
        Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Administrative
        Agent, each Lender, each Person (other than the Borrowers) that is a party
        to a
        Secured Hedging Agreement, and each of their respective Related Persons (each
        such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including
        brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on,
        incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating
        to or
        arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document,
        any
        Related Document, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment
        thereof), the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan, any Related
        Transaction, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Borrower,
        (ii)
        any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any
        Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder
        or
        consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of the Seller, any
        Borrower or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing
        and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any Electronic
        Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective
        investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by
        any
        such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of securities
        or
        creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such
        Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether
        or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other
        Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract,
        tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related,
        contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the
“Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that each Borrower shall not have any
        liability under this Section 11.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any
        Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect
        to
        any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the
        extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or
        willful misconduct of any Indemnitee. Furthermore, each Borrower waives and
        agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Borrower
        to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution
        with
        respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
        against any Related Person.

       

      (b) Without
        limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified
        Matters”
        includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or
        otherwise involving, or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property
        or
        natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release
        of
        Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or
        any
        property on or contiguous to any real property of any Borrower, whether or
        not,
        with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a
        mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession,
        or the
        successor-in-interest to any Related Person, in each case except to the extent
        such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure
        by
        any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the
        successor-in-interest to any Borrower and (ii) are attributable solely to
        acts of such Indemnitee.

       

       

      Section
        11.5  Survival.
        Any
        indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to
        any
        Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.11 (Taxes),
        Section 2.10 (Breakage
        Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), Article X (The
        Administrative Agent), Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses), Section 11.4
        (Indemnities) or
        this Section 11.5 and also including Guaranty Obligations for which Lender
        has recourse to the party obligated thereunder) and all representations and
        warranties made in any Loan Document shall (A) survive the termination of
        the Commitments and the payment in full of other Obligations and (B) inure
        to
        the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an
        Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns,
        other than any person who has 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          82

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      taken
        an
        interest herein or in the Facilities through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu or
        similar transaction, unless such person taking such interest through
        foreclosure, deed-in-lieu or similar transaction is a Lender, the Administrative
        Agent or any of their Affiliates.

       

       

      Section
        11.6  Limitation
        of Liability for Certain Damages.
        In no
        event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special,
        indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits,
        business or anticipated savings). Each Borrower hereby waives, releases and
        agrees (and shall cause each other Borrower to waive, release and agree)
        not to
        sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive
        damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to
        exist
        in its favor.

       

       

      Section
        11.7  Lender-Creditor
        Relationship.
        The
        relationship between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the one
        hand,
        and the Borrowers, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and creditor.
        No
        Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Borrower arising
        out
        of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture
        relationship between the Secured Parties and the Borrowers by virtue of,
        any
        Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

       

       

      Section
        11.8  Right
        of
        Setoff.
        Each of
        the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Affiliate (including each
        branch
        office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand
        (each of which is hereby waived by each Borrower), at any time and from time
        to
        time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent
        permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and
        all
        deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
        at
        any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any
        time
        owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any of their respective
        Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any
        Obligation of any Borrower now or hereafter existing, whether or not any
        demand
        was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even
        though
        such Obligation may be unmatured. Each of the Administrative Agent, each
        Lender
        agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after
        any
        such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided,
        however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
        of
        such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 11.8 are in
        addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
        that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates and other
        Secured Parties may have.

       

       

      Section
        11.9  Sharing
        of Payments, Reinstatement Etc.
        If any
        Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains
        any
        payment of any Obligation of any Borrower (whether voluntary, involuntary
        or
        through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral
        or
“proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than
        pursuant to Sections 2.10 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital
        Requirements), 2.11 (Taxes) and 2.12 (Substitution of Lenders) and such payment
        exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all
        payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Administrative Agent in
        accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase
        for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations
        as
        necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured
        Parties
        to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the
        Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if
        such
        application would then be at the discretion of the Borrowers, applied to
        repay
        the Obligations in accordance herewith);
        provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered
        from such Lender in whole or in part, such 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          83

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      purchase
        shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such
        Lender without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent
        permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its
        rights
        of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation
        as
        fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the
        amount
        of such participation.

       

      If
        any
        payments of money or transfers of property made to Administrative Agent (for
        the
        benefit of Lenders) by any Borrower should for any reason subsequently be
        declared to be, or in Administrative Agent’s counsel’s good faith opinion be
        determined to be, fraudulent (within the meaning of any state or federal
        law
        relating to fraudulent conveyances), preferential or otherwise voidable or
        recoverable in whole or in part for any reason (hereinafter collectively
        called
“voidable transfers”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state
        law and Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to repay or restore,
        or
        in Administrative Agent’s counsel’s opinion may be so liable to repay or
        restore, any such voidable transfer, or the amount or any portion thereof,
        then
        as to any such voidable transfer or the amount repaid or restored and all
        reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of
        Administrative Agent and Lenders related thereto, such Borrower’s liability
        hereunder shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored and shall
        exist as though such voidable transfer had never been made.

       

       

      Section
        11.10  Marshaling;
        Payments Set Aside.
        No
        Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor
        of
        any Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation.
        To
        the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from any Borrower, from
        the
        proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any
        enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole
        or
        in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
        or
        required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to
        the
        extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended
        to
        be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived
        and
        continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
        occurred.

      Section
        11.12  Electronic
        Transmissions.
        (a)
        Authorization. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a), each of the
        Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Lenders and each of their Related
        Persons is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make
        or
        communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection
        with
        any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. Each Borrower
        and
        each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each Borrower shall
        cause
        each other Borrower to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic
        Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated
        with
        such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each
        indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the
        transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

       

      (b) Signatures.
        Subject
        to the provisions of Section 11.11(a),
        (i)(A)
        no posting to any Electronic System shall be denied legal effect merely because
        it is made electronically, (B) each Electronic Signature on any such
        posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature”
and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any
        requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan
        Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic
        Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce
        Act
        and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject
        matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either
        a
        signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed
        signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, an
        Electronic Signature, upon which each Secured Party and each Borrower may
        rely
        and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a
        signature, a reproduction of a signature or an Electronic Signature shall,
        for
        all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper
        original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest
        the validity or enforceability of any posting on any Electronic System or
        Electronic Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable
        Requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed;
        provided,
        however,

        Law.

        Agreement, each other Loan Document that does not expressly set forth its
        applicable law, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and
        thereto
        shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the

        in
        the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America
        for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this
        Agreement, each Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its
        property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
        courts. The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan
        Document, each other Borrower) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including
        any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum
        non conveniens,
        that
        any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action
        or
        proceeding in such jurisdictions.

       

      (b) Service
        of Process.
        Each
        Borrower (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other
        Borrower) hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal
        process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process
        of
        any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought

        Each Borrower (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each
        other Borrower) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
        shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on
        the
        judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

       

      (c) Non-Exclusive
        Jurisdiction.
        Nothing
        contained in this Section 11.14
        shall
        affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process
        in
        any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

       

       

      Section
        11.15  Waiver
        of Jury Trial.
        Each
        party hereto hereby irrevocably waives trial by jury in any suit, action
        or
        proceeding with respect to, or directly or indirectly arising out of, under
        or
        in connection with, any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein
        or related thereto (whether founded in contract, tort or any other theory).
        Each
        party hereto (A) certifies that no other party and no Related Person of any
        other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party
        would
        not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and
        (B) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to
        enter into the Loan Documents, as applicable, by the mutual waivers and
        certifications in this
        Section 11.15.

       

       

      Section
        11.16  Severability.
        Any
        provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable
        in
        any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held

      Section
        11.17  Execution
        in Counterparts.
        This
        Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
        parties
        in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
        to be
        an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
        same
        agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts
        and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page
        of
        this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall
        be as

      Section
        11.18  Entire
        Agreement.

        prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter thereof
        and
        any prior letter of interest, commitment letter, confidentiality and similar
        agreements involving any Borrower and any of the Administrative Agent, any
        Lender or any of their respective Affiliates relating to a financing of
        substantially similar form, purpose or effect. In the event of any conflict
        between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms
        of
        this Agreement shall govern (unless such terms of such other Loan Documents
        are
        necessary to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, in which case such
        terms shall govern to the extent necessary to comply therewith).

       

       

      Section
        11.19  Use
        of
        Name.
        Each
        Borrower agrees, and shall cause each other Borrower to agree, that it shall
        not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or other public
        disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority
        relating to a public offering of the Equity Interests of any Borrower) using
        the
        name, logo or otherwise referring to GE Capital or of any of its Affiliates,
        the
        Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured
        Parties are party without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to GE
        Capital and without the prior consent of GE Capital except to the extent
        required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after
        consulting with GE Capital prior thereto.

        Information; Confidentiality.
        (a)
        Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public

        securities and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant
        policies, procedures and Contractual Obligations and applicable Requirements
        of
        Laws (including United States federal and state security laws and
        regulations).

       

      (b) Each
        Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts
        to
        maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality
        of
        information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in
        writing by any Borrower as confidential, except that such information may
        be
        disclosed (i) with such Borrower’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such
        Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, that are advised
        of the
        confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such
        information confidential, (iii) to the extent such information presently
        is or
        hereafter becomes available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
        the
        case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Borrower,
        (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law
        or
        other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority,
        (v) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar

      consisting
        of general portfolio information that does not identify Borrowers, (vi) to
        current or prospective assignees, SPVs grantees of any option described in

        to
        be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this
Section 11.20
        and
        (vii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy under any Loan
        Document. 
        In the
        event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 11.20
        and
        those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Borrower
        (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 11.20
        shall
        govern.

        the name and address of such Borrower and other information allowing such
        Lender
        to identify such Borrower in accordance with such act.

      Manager
      may proceed in accordance with the Annual Budget only if the same is approved
      by
      Owner in accordance with the provisions hereof. Upon the receipt of the proposed
      Annual Budget from Manager, Owner shall have thirty (30) days to approve or
      disapprove in writing (specifying with reasonable particularity the reasons
      for
      such disapproval) the Annual Budget. If Owner does not approve the Annual Budget
      in writing within this thirty (30) day period, then the submitted Annual Budget
      shall be deemed disapproved. The Annual Budget or a revision thereof shall
      be
      deemed finally approved by Owner only if it is approved in writing by Owner.
      Owner’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Within ten (10) days of
      receiving a written response from Owner disapproving (with reasons) the Annual
      Budget (the

      Manager shall re-submit a revised Annual Budget to Owner addressing the concerns
      of Owner contained in the Response. Owner shall thereafter have ten (10) days
      to
      approve the Annual Budget, and if not approved or disapproved within such time
      period, such proposed Annual Budget shall be deemed provisionally approved.
      Manager and Owner shall continue with this process until the Annual Budget
      is
      finally approved. As used herein, the “Approved
      Annual Budget”
means
      (A) the Annual Budget for the then current year as approved by Owner in
      accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.3 or (B) if the Annual
      Budget for the then current year has not yet been so approved by Owner, then
      during the interim period until such time as Owner approves the Annual Budget
      for such year, a temporary Annual Budget shall take effect which shall be equal
      to the prior year’s approved Annual Budget increased by five percent (5%) for
      all line items, except for taxes and any insurance premiums included in the
      prior year’s approved Annual Budget as well as utilities, each of which shall
      equal the amount actually incurred for each such item.

    Manager
      shall implement the Approved Annual Budget in accordance with the foregoing
      provisions and shall be authorized, without the need for further approval by

      any
      agreement provides for a term of less than three (3) months, unless terminable
      by the Facility or by Owner without cause or penalty upon thirty (30) days’
notice to the other party), (b) the specified expenditure or obligation is
      for a
      sum less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (and a series of related
      expenditures for amounts less than $50,000 shall be construed as a single
      agreement for purposes of this subsection (b)), and (c) Manager acts in strict
      conformance with the Approved Annual Budget in all respects (including the
      nature, amount and timing of each such expenditure or obligation) except as
      provided in subsection 3.5 below, and subject to the other provisions of this
      Agreement). 

     

    3.5  Permitted
      Deviations from Budget. 

     

    Any
      deviation from or expenditure inconsistent with the Annual Budget (or the entry
      into any agreement requiring such deviation or expenditure) shall require the
      prior written approval of Owner. The consent of Owner to an expenditure payable
      to an unrelated third party exceeding the amount specified for such expenditure
      in the Annual Budget shall not be required in any of the following
      circumstances: (a) Manager, in its reasonable judgment, deems there to be an
      emergency requiring such expenditures to effectuate immediate action necessary
      for the protection of the assets of the Facility or to avoid property damage
      or
      personal injury or to preserve the well being of residents in the Facility
      or to
      avoid impairment of the Facility operating licenses, (b) such expenditure would
      not cause the aggregate amount of the expenses (excluding the expenses described
      in clause (c) below) within the Annual Budget to exceed 105% of the entire
      amount of budgeted expenses (excluding the expenses described in clause (c)
      below) in the Annual Budget (taking into account the amounts expended to date
      and reasonably anticipated expenses); or (c) expenditures for real property
      taxes and assessments and utilities. The provisions of clause (b) above are
      intended to be in lieu of any contingency category that covers, in whole or
      in
      part, costs of the types described in any of the other categories under the
      Annual Budget (so that excess costs in a specific category might be covered
      by
      such contingency category) and accordingly, there shall be no such contingency
      line item in the Annual Budget; 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    the
      provisions of clause (b) above are not intended, however, to be in lieu of
      a
      contingency category for unanticipated costs that are not of the types described
      in other categories under the Annual Budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      if
      the Manager reasonably believes that any Annual Budget excess related to
      variable expenses shall be corrected prior to the end of the applicable fiscal
      year, or that such excess is proportionately offset by non-forecasted revenue
      gains (without any decrease in applicable profit margins), then such excess
      shall not be considered for the purposes of Default under this Agreement until
      such fiscal year is concluded and reconciled. In the event the reconciliation
      demonstrates that the Annual Budget excess related to variable expenses was
      corrected prior to the end of the such fiscal year, or was proportionately
      offset by non-forecasted revenue gains (without any decrease in applicable
      profit margins), then any penalty or default under this Agreement related to
      such excess shall be waived by Owner. Manager shall promptly notify Owner,
      both
      by telephone and in writing, of each permitted Budget deviation made pursuant
      to
      this Section 3 and shall promptly supply Owner with such information with
      respect thereto as Owner may reasonably request.

            Duties
              of Manager

          

    

    	4.1  	
            General
              Duty and Relationship. 

          

    

    Manager
      shall use its Best Efforts (as hereinafter defined) in the management and
      operation of the Facility to be in compliance with all applicable statutory
      and
      regulatory requirements, and otherwise consistent with similarly situated senior
      housing assisted living
      facilities of comparable standard. As used in this Agreement, “Best
      Efforts”
shall
      mean diligent efforts consistent with reasonable business judgment and
      prevailing commercial practices of institutional property managers that manage
      properties similar to the Facility in the same market area as the Facility.
      Except to the extent required to perform its duties under this Agreement or
      by
      applicable law or pursuant to court order or judicial process, Manager shall
      not
      reveal or give out any information in connection with the Facility, the Resident
      Agreements or the accounts of the Facility to any person without obtaining
      Licensee’s and Owner’s prior written authorization, which shall not be
      unreasonably withheld.

     

    	4.2  	
            Books
              and Records. 

          

     

    Manager
      shall maintain records, books and accounts with respect to the management and
      operation of the Facility and shall retain those records during the Term and,
      to
      the extent Owner elects not to take possession of the same upon termination
      of
      the Term, for a period of three (3) years thereafter. Manager shall maintain
      all
      required records pertaining to the care of individual residents in accordance
      with all pertinent requirements with respect to maintaining the privacy of
      such
      records of care provided to the individual residents under applicable state
      law
      as well as Federal Law, including the Privacy and Security rules in the Federal
      Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).
      Subject to the requirements of HIPAA, Licensee and Owner shall have the right,
      during Manager’s normal business hours, to inspect and copy such records and
      audit the monthly reports required by Section 5.6 hereof. Such books and records
      will include all canceled checks (if canceled checks are provided by the bank
      to
      Manager), a separate set of books and records relating to the operation of
      the
      Facility maintained on a cash and accrual basis, and monthly summaries of all
      accounts receivable and accounts payable (to be delivered no later than fifteen
      (15) days after each month). Manager will hold all 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    such
      files, books, records and checks (the “Records”)
      in a
      secure location and separate from records relating to other purposes.

     

    Subject
      to the requirements of HIPAA, during the Term, Owner and its agents,
      representatives, employees, and auditors may, at such reasonable times as Owner
      may determine, inspect, audit, and copy any of the Manager’s records, files,
      reports, and related materials, including, but not limited to all documents,
      billing, and invoicing related to Medicare and Medicaid billing submitted as
      claims to the government, pertaining to the Facility or to Manager’s performance
      under this Agreement. If an audit by Owner discloses any sum due Owner by
      Manager or any overpayment to Manager, Manager will promptly reimburse Owner
      for
      any amounts due. If the audit discloses a shortfall variance of more than five
      percent (5%) in the aggregate of amounts due Owner by Manager, Manager will
      bear
      the reasonable cost of the audit. Otherwise, the audit will be at Owner’s
      expense.

     

    	4.3  	
            Employment
              of Personnel. 

          

     

    Manager
      shall use its Best Efforts to have in its employ at all times a sufficient
      number of capable employees meeting state or federal government requirements,
      to
      enable it to properly, adequately, safely and economically manage, operate,
      maintain and account for the Facility. Subject to the foregoing, all matters
      pertaining to the employment, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge
      of such employees are the responsibility of Manager, with respect to which
      Manager shall exercise reasonable care. Manager is in all respects the employer
      of such employees, including all on-site and certain off-site personnel. Manager
      shall negotiate with any union lawfully entitled to represent such employees
      and
      may execute in its own name, and not as agent for Licensee or Owner, collective
      bargaining agreements or labor contracts resulting therefrom. Manager shall
      comply with all applicable laws and regulations having to do with worker’s
      compensation, social security, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages,
      working conditions and other employer employee related subjects. Manager
      represents that it is and will continue to be an equal opportunity employer
      and
      must advertise as such. Manager shall have the power to hire, dismiss or
      transfer the executive director at the Facility; provided, however, Manager
      shall keep Licensee and Owner reasonably informed with respect to the Manager’s
      desire to transfer or terminate the executive director, and shall consult with
      Licensee and Owner with respect to the hiring of the position, it being
      understood, however, that any final decisions made in this regard shall be
      made
      by Manager. If Licensee or Owner becomes dissatisfied with the performance
      of
      the executive director, Licensee and Owner shall each have the right to confer
      with representatives of Manager in charge of operating the Facility to express
      such dissatisfaction and to discuss the possible consideration of replacing
      the
      executive director or otherwise placing the executive director on a performance
      action plan; it being understood, however, that any final decisions made in
      this
      regard shall be made by Manager. All employment arrangements are therefore
      solely Manager’s responsibility and Licensee and Owner shall have no liability
      with respect thereto. Nothing contained herein, however, shall be deemed to
      permit Manager to charge Owner, or to use the income of the Facility to pay,
      for
      the services of Manager’s employees (except to the extent provided in the
      Approved Annual Budget).

    Manager
      shall make periodic inspections of the Facility, including, without limitation,
      the resident apartments, parking areas, and common areas, to determine necessary
      and appropriate repairs, maintenance and replacements. Manager shall keep and
      maintain the Facility in a good, orderly, clean, safe, sanitary and sightly
      condition and shall perform all repairs, maintenance and changes, do all
      decorating, and purchase all supplies, necessary, within the parameters of
      the
      Approved Annual Budget, for the proper operation of the Facility.

     

    	4.5  	
            Financial
              Statements

          

     

    Manager
      shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Owner statements as
      follows:

     

    	(a)  	
            Annual
              financial statements (balance sheet and income statement) in a format
              acceptable to Owner within ninety (90) days of the end of the calendar
              year, audited by the “Facility’s
              Accountants”
              (i.e., KPMG or another independent nationally recognized accounting
              firm
              approved by Owner).

          

     

    	(b)  	
            A
              monthly report for each calendar month, certified to be true, accurate
              and
              complete in all material respects, and submitted to Owner within thirty
              (30) days of the end of each such calendar month (the “Periodic
              Report“).
              Each Periodic Report shall be in accordance with
              GAAP.

          

     

    All
      costs
      and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of any statements,
      schedules, computations and other reports required under this Section 4.5 shall
      be borne by Manager. If Owner requests the preparation of any audited profit
      and
      loss or balance sheet statements, forecasts or other non-standard analysis
      the
      cost thereof shall be borne by Owner. All costs of tax return preparation and
      audits shall be at Owner expense.

     

    	4.6  	
            Third
              Party Reports.

          

    

    Provided
      Licensee or Owner, as applicable, has given reasonable prior written notice
      to
      Manager of such reporting requirements, Manager shall prepare all reports and
      financial statements required by any third party to which Licensee or Owner,
      as
      applicable, is required by law or contract to report, including any Mortgagee,
      and deliver the same to Licensee or Owner, as applicable, within a time period
      such that Licensee or Owner, as applicable, will be able to satisfy its
      reporting obligations to such third party under the documents or regulations
      requiring such reporting, such as loan documents evidencing an Owner Loan.
      Additionally, Manager shall supply the information and reports required to
      prepare any other financial reports required by Owner in good faith. Any reports
      or financial statements required under this Section 4.6 that are in excess
      of
      those required under Section 4.5 shall be prepared at Licensee’s or Owner’s, as
      applicable, expense.

    

    	4.7  	
            Data
              Processing. 

          

    

    Manager
      shall, at its own expense, directly or through an affiliate, provide the data
      processing required to maintain the financial, payroll, and accounting records
      of the Facility.

    

    4.8  Health
      Care Licenses.

    Manager
      shall use its Best Efforts to maintain, and if applicable, expeditiously apply
      for, acquire, and obtain, health care licenses required under applicable law
      for
      the operation of the Facility in the name of the Owner and shall keep Owner
      fully informed of all efforts and status of said applications. 

    

    	4.9  	
            Insurance.

          

     

    It
      is the
      intention of the parties hereto to secure the broadest and most cost-effective
      insurance available to cover Owner and Manager in the protection, operation
      and
      enhancement of the Facility, which is usually accomplished when both principal
      parties are insured under the same policies. Thus, Manager, Licensee, Owner
      and
      Owner’s lender are (1) to be included as an insured under Owner’s general
      liability insurance covering inherent and operational hazards associated with
      the management of the Facility, and (2) to receive a waiver, to the extent
      necessary, of all direct damage insurers’ rights of subrogation against Manager
      and Owner under all direct damage insurance policies covering the Facility.
      Manager shall not be required to obtain separate coverage except to the extent
      Manager is no longer covered under Owner’s policies, and in such event, any
      claims made under such Manager’s coverage shall include Owner as an additional
      insured and waive Manager’s insurer’s rights of subrogation against Owner where
      such waivers are possible.

    

    All
      insurance policies required of either party under this Section 4.9 shall be
      maintained by Manager as an expense of the Facility (and not of Manager or
      Licensee) and shall (1) be issued by reputable, financially sound companies
      licensed to do business in the state in which the Facility is located, and
      which
      have an A.M. Best rating of A-VIII, or better; and (2) require at least thirty
      (30) days’ unconditional notice to the other party of cancellation of coverage
      (except that ten (10) days’ notice of cancellation for non-payment of premium
      may be given). Owner’s General Liability Insurance policy shall be endorsed to
      be primary insurance in its coverage of both parties, and any General Liability
      Insurance policy maintained separately by Manager shall be endorsed to be excess
      and non-contributory with policies carried by Owner.

    

    Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary herein, with the exception of losses, damages,
      liability or expenses incurred due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
      of the other, neither Manager nor Owner shall assert against the other, and
      each
      does hereby waive with respect to each other, any claims for any losses,
      damages, liability or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred or sustained
      by either of them on account of injury to persons or damage to property arising
      out of the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Facility to the extent
      that the same are covered by the insurance carried under this Section 4.9.
      Each
      party shall cause its respective insurance companies to waive subrogation
      against the other on account thereof.

    

    	5.  	
            Default. 

          

    

    In
      the
      event that any party is in default of any of the obligations hereunder (the
      “Defaulting
      Party”),
      any
      of the other parties (each, a “Non-Defaulting
      Party”)
      shall
      give the Defaulting Party written notice of such default (the “Notice
      of Default”).
      The
      Defaulting Party shall thereafter have ten (10) days after receipt of such
      written Notice of Default to cure a 

    
      
         

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    monetary
      default and thirty (30) days after receipt of such written Notice of Default
      to
      cure a non-monetary default, provided that if due to the nature of a
      non-monetary default the Defaulting Party cannot reasonably cure such default
      within such thirty (30) day period, then the Defaulting Party shall have such
      additional period of sixty (60) days to cure such default if the Defaulting
      Party commences the cure within said initial thirty (30) day period and
      thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

    

    

    	6.  	
            Termination
              Rights. 

          

    

    This
      Agreement may be terminated and, except as to liabilities or claims of either
      party hereto which may have arisen before such termination, the obligations
      of
      Manager and Owner under this Agreement may be terminated, by mutual agreement
      of
      Manager, Licensee and Owner or otherwise upon the written notice of the party
      terminating this Agreement to the other party, after the occurrence of any
      of
      the events described in this Section 6.

      this Agreement at any time for any of the reasons set forth in Section 6.1(a)
      through 6.1(g), , provided, however, that in no event may Licensee terminate
      this Agreement without the prior written approval of Owner, which, except as
      provided otherwise in Section 6.1(c), may be given or withheld in Owner’s sole
      and absolute discretion:

    

    (a)  Default.

      Manager” shall mean the commencement or occurrence of any of the following:
      Manager shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
      or
      liquidator of all or a substantial part of Manager’s assets, file a voluntary
      petition in bankruptcy, make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors,
      file a petition or any answer seeking reorganization or arrangement with
      creditors, or take advantage of any insolvency law, or if any order, judgment,
      or decree shall be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, on the
      application of a creditor, adjudicating Manager as bankrupt or insolvent or
      approving a petition seeking reorganization of Manager, or appointing a
      receiver, trustee, or liquidator with respect to all or a substantial part
      of
      Manager’s assets, and such order, judgment, or decree shall continue for any
      period of ninety (90) consecutive days.

     

    (c)  Suspension
      or Termination of Licensure.
      If any
      license for the operation for the Facility is suspended, terminated, or revoked
      for any reason other than a cause which is outside the control of Manager,
      or,
      to the extent applicable, any Medicare or Medicaid provider agreement with
      respect to the Facility is involuntarily decertified and such suspension,
      termination, revocation, or involuntarily decertification shall continue in
      effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days after all appeals have
      been
      exhausted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Owner
      shall not unreasonably 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        11

      Section 6.1(c).

     

    (d)  Tortious
      Acts By Manager.
      Any act
      by Manager that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence.
      

     

    (e)  Casualty
      or Condemnation.
      In the
      event Owner permanently discontinues the operation of the Facility on account
      of
      damage to or destruction of, or a taking by (or sale under threat of) eminent
      domain of, a substantial part of the Facility or pursuant to Section 8.8.

      Owner sells or otherwise transfers its interest in the Facility, or if all
      of
      the membership interests in Owner are sold to a third party. 

     

    	6.2  	
            Termination
              by Manager

          

    

    Manager
      may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ notice with
      cause at any time, subject to providing notice to Licensee and Owner as set
      forth below, and for any of the reasons set forth in Section 6.2(a) through
      6.2(f), , provided, however, that in no event may Licensee terminate this
      Agreement due to a default by Licensee, without the prior written approval
      of
      Owner, which may be given or withheld in Owner’s sole and absolute
      discretion:

     

    (a)  Default.Default
      by Licensee or Owner under this Agreement and Owner’s and Licensee’s, as

      forth
      in Section 5. 

     

    (b)  Suspension
      or Termination of Licensure.
      If any
      license for the operation of the Facility is at any time suspended, terminated,
      or revoked due to the fault of Owner and such suspension, termination or
      revocation shall continue in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive
      days
      after all appeals have been exhausted.

     

    (c)  Bankruptcy
      or Dissolution.

      occurrence of any Bankruptcy/ Dissolution Event with respect to Owner. For
      purposes of this Section 6.2(c), a “Bankruptcy/
      Dissolution Event with respect to Owner”
shall
      mean the commencement or occurrence of any of the following: if Owner shall
      apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or liquidator
      of
      all or a substantial part of Owner’s assets, file a voluntary petition in
      bankruptcy, make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, file a
      petition or any answer seeking reorganization or arrangement with creditors,
      or
      take advantage of any insolvency law, or if an order, judgment, or decree shall
      be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, on the application of a
      creditor, adjudicating Owner as bankrupt or appointing a receiver, trustee,
      or
      liquidator of Owner with respect to all or a substantial part of Owner’s assets,

    (d)  Termination
      Upon Transfer.

      of, a
      substantial part of the Facility or pursuant to Section 8.8.

     

    (f)  Insufficient
      Funds.

      Facility is not generating sufficient revenue to pay the costs and expenses
      of
      the Facility, and there are insufficient funds in the Operating Account (as
      hereinafter defined), or Owner is unwilling to place sufficient funds in the
      Operating Account, to pay same, provided that Manager gives at least thirty
      (30)
      days’ prior written notice of termination to Owner.

     

    	6.3  	
            Effect
              of Termination

          

    

    Termination
      of this Agreement shall terminate all rights and obligations of the parties
      hereunder, except for any provision of this Agreement which is expressly
      described as surviving any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Such
      termination, however, shall not terminate the rights and obligations of the
      parties (including any compensation due to Manager under Section 2)
      which
      accrued prior to the effective date of termination nor shall it prejudice the
      rights of either party against the other for any breach of this Agreement.
      Upon
      termination, the payment of any compensation to Manager shall be offset by
      any
      damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Licensee and Owner by
      reason of any act or omission by Manager that is a breach of this Agreement
      or
      constitutes negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud or is otherwise tortious
      (as determined by final non-appealable decision of a court of competent
      jurisdiction). Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, either
      party’s termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof shall
      terminate any and all rights of Manager to act on behalf of or with respect
      to
      the Facility (and Manager shall, if Owner so requests, execute a notice to
      third
      parties, in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner, to the effect that Manager’s
      rights have been so terminated).

    

    	6.4  	
            Final
              Accounting

          

    

    Upon
      the
      expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement as herein
      provided, Manager shall (a) deliver to Owner a final accounting within thirty
      (30) days of such expiration or termination; (b) surrender and deliver up to
      Owner possession of the Facility and all rents and income, including resident
      security deposits, of the Facility and other monies of Owner on hand and in
      any
      bank account as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than five (5)
      business days after such termination or expiration); (c) deliver to Owner,
      as
      received, any monies due Owner under this Agreement but received after such
      termination as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than two (2)
      business days after receipt); (d) deliver to Owner all materials and supplies,
      keys, contracts and documents, and such other accounting papers and records
      pertaining to this Agreement as Owner shall request as soon as reasonably
      practicable; (e) assign any right Manager may have in and to any existing
      contracts relating to the operation and maintenance of the Facility as Owner
      shall require as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than five (5)
      business days after such termination or expiration); and (f) 

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    deliver
      to Owner, or Owner’s duly appointed agent, all books and records, contracts,
      leases, resident’s agreements, receipts for deposits and unpaid bills relating
      to the Facility as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than five (5)
      business days after such termination or expiration).

    

    	6.5  	
            Cooperation

          

    

    In
      the
      event this Agreement is terminated, Manager shall reasonably cooperate with
      Licensee and Owner to allow Licensee and Owner to effectively and productively
      continue management activities. Without limitation of the foregoing, Manager
      shall, for a period of thirty (30) days after such expiration or termination,
      make itself reasonably available, at no cost to Licensee or Owner, to consult
      with and advise Licensee and Owner regarding the operation and maintenance
      of
      the Facility and the transfer of accounts and accounting systems.

    

    	7.  	
            Indemnification

          

    

    Manager
      shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee and Owner
      and
      their respective members, directors, officers and employees from any and all
      Claims sustained or incurred by or asserted against any one or more of them
      caused by the grossly negligent or willful misconduct or fraud of Manager or
      its
      agents or employees, or acts by Manager outside the scope of its authority
      under
      this Agreement. Owner agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Manager
      and
      Licensee, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers and employees
      from any and all Claims sustained or incurred by or asserted against any one
      or
      more of them caused by the grossly negligent or willful misconduct or fraud
      of
      Owner or its agents or employees or acts by Owner outside the scope of its
      authority under this Agreement. Finally, Manager and Owner shall indemnify,
      defend and hold harmless Licensee for any matters that arise or occur after the
      date of this Agreement that relate to the operation, maintenance and management
      of the Facility, including any acts or omissions of Manager, except to the
      extent caused by Licensee. As used in this Section 7, “Claims”
means
      any third party claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, fines,
      penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and court
      costs (except to the extent covered by insurance carried or required to be
      carried by the indemnified persons pursuant to this Agreement). Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each party’s obligation
      to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party shall survive termination
      of this Agreement.

    In
      the
      event of a default hereunder, if the nondefaulting party employs an attorney
      to
      enforce its rights hereunder, the defaulting party shall be liable for all
      reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other expenses incurred by the
      nondefaulting party regardless of whether a lawsuit is filed.

    

    	8.3  	
            Assignment

          

    

    Owner
      may
      assign all or part of this Agreement without the prior written approval of
      Manager to any third party purchaser of the Facility or all of the membership
      interests in Owner, subject to Manager’s termination rights set forth in Section
      6.2 above. Subject to the terms and conditions of Owner’s Loan, Manager may not
      assign its interest in this Agreement except to a wholly owned subsidiary of
      Emeritus Corporation. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3, any
      assignment of interest must be in accordance with the terms and conditions
      of
      Owner’s Loan. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
      Owner and Manager, as well as to their respective successors and, to the extent
      permitted hereunder, their assigns. Licensee may not assign its interest in
      this
      Agreement.

            Cumulative Remedies

          

    

    The
      rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall not be mutually exclusive,
      i.e.,
      the exercise of one or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the
      exercise of any other provision hereof.

     

    	8.6  	
            No
              Waiver 

          

    

    No
      waiver
      by either party of any default of the other party or of any event, circumstance
      or condition permitting a party to terminate this Agreement shall constitute
      a
      waiver of any other default of the other party or of any other event,
      circumstance or condition permitting such termination, whether of the same
      or of
      any other nature or type and whether preceding, concurrent or succeeding; and
      no
      failure on the part of either party to exercise any right it may have by the
      terms hereof or by law upon the default of the other party and no delay in
      the
      exercise of such right shall prevent the exercise thereof by the Non-Defaulting
      Party at any time when the other party may continue to be so in default, and
      no
      such failure or delay and no waiver of default shall operate as a waiver of
      any
      other default, or as a modification in any respect of the provisions of this
      Agreement. The subsequent acceptance of any payment or performance pursuant
      to
      this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding default by a
      Defaulting Party or of any preceding event, circumstance or condition permitting
      termination hereunder, other than default in the payment of the particular
      payment or the performance of the particular matter so accepted, regardless
      of
      the Non-Defaulting Party’s knowledge of the preceding default or the preceding
      event, circumstance or condition, at the time of accepting such payment or
      performance, nor shall the Non-Defaulting Party’s acceptance of such payment or
      performance after termination constitute a reinstatement, extension or renewal
      of this Agreement or revocation of any notice or other act by the Non-Defaulting
      Party.

            Approvals
              and Consents

          

    

    Except
      as
      otherwise expressly provided herein, any approval or consent provided to be
      given by Licensee or Owner hereunder shall not be unreasonably withheld but
      must
      be contained in a writing signed by Licensee or Owner in order to be
      effective.

            Condemnation

          

    

    In
      the
      event that at any time or times prior to the termination of this Agreement,
      the
      Facility or any part thereof shall be condemned or shall be voluntarily sold
      (Owner hereby expressly reserving the right and power to do so, notwithstanding
      any other provision hereof) for a purpose for which the same could be acquired
      by the purchaser pursuant to eminent domain proceedings, then the interests
      of
      Manager hereunder in the portion or portions of the same so condemned or sold
      shall forthwith terminate, and all compensation and damages awarded or paid
      by
      reason of such condemnation or sale shall be paid and belong solely to Owner.
      In
      the event that less than all of the real property then included in the Facility
      shall be so condemned or sold but such condemnation or sale shall injure the
      Facility to such extent that the remaining portion thereof cannot be made
      effectively usable for a senior living community, then either party may
      terminate this Agreement as to the Facility by written notice to the other
      party
      given within ten (10) days after the transfer of title to the condemning
      authority. Unless this Agreement is terminated in its entirety due to casualty
      or condemnation, all of the terms and provisions hereof shall continue in full
      force and effect with respect to the remaining portion of the
      Facility.

            Major
              Decisions

          

    

    The
      parties acknowledge that Owner is a direct or indirect controlled subsidiary
      of
      an entity (the “Parent”)
      that
      is intended to qualify as a “real estate operating company” (a “REOC”)
      within
      the meaning of the U.S. Department of Labor plan assets regulation (Section
      2510.3-101, Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal
      Regulations) and that it is intended that Owner will have the right, pursuant
      to
      this Agreement, to substantially participate directly in the management and
      development of the Facility. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
      notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, without prejudice to
      the
      other rights provided to Owner under this Agreement, Manager agrees to: (i)
      permit Owner to visit and inspect the Facility and inspect and copy the books
      and records of Manager related to the Facility, at such times as Owner shall
      reasonably request; (ii) periodically (at least quarterly) provide Owner with
      information and reports regarding Manager’s operation and management of the
      Facility and the performance of its duties under this Agreement and with respect
      to renovations, alterations, general maintenance, repairs and development
      activities that Manager has engaged in or intends to engage in with respect
      to
      the Facility and its surroundings as set forth in this Agreement; (iii)
      periodically (at least quarterly) consult with Owner with respect to the
      operation and management of the Facility including, without limitation, with
      respect to matters relating to renovations, alterations, general maintenance,
      repairs and development activities with respect to the Facility and its
      surroundings; and (iv) provide Owner with such other rights of participation
      in
      the management and development of the Facility as may reasonably be determined
      by Owner to be necessary to enable the Parent to qualify as a REOC, provided
      such additional rights do not materially adversely affect Manager’s ability to
      perform its duties under this Agreement or the economic benefits enjoyed by
      Manager under this Agreement. Manager agrees to consider, in good faith, the
      recommendations of Owner in 

    
      
         

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    connection
      with the matters on which it is consulted as described above. Notwithstanding
      anything contained in this Agreement, in the event Manager takes an action
      with
      respect to the Facility at Owner’s direction that is contrary to Manager’s
      written recommendation based upon Manager’s good faith judgment, Owner hereby
      waives any claims it may have against Manager with regard to any adverse impacts
      or effects resulting solely from Manager’s taking such action at Owner’s
      direction, and no indemnity obligations of Manager under this Agreement shall
      apply to the consequences of such action.
