4.                                       LENDER’S GENERAL POWERS:

 

Lender may take any of the following actions at any time, without notice, without Guarantor’s consent, and without making demand upon Guarantor:

 

A.  Modify the terms of the Note or any other Loan Document except to increase the amounts due under the Note;

B.  Refrain from taking any action on the Note, the Collateral, or any guarantee;

C.  Release any Borrower or any guarantor of the Note;

D.  Compromise or settle with the Borrower or any guarantor of the Note;

G.  Bid or buy at any sale of Collateral by Lender or any other lienholder, at any price Lender chooses; and

5.                                       FEDERAL LAW:

 

When SBA is the holder, the Note and this Guarantee will be construed and enforced under federal law, including SBA regulations.  Lender or SBA may use state or local procedures for filing papers, recording documents, giving notice, foreclosing liens, and other purposes.  By using such procedures, SBA does not waive any federal immunity from state or local control, penalty, tax, or liability.  As to this Guarantee, Guarantor may not claim or assert any local or state law against SBA to deny any obligation, defeat any claim of SBA, or preempt federal law.

2)              Redeem any Collateral before or after Lender disposes of it;

C.  Guarantor waives defenses based upon any claim that:

2)              Lender failed to obtain, perfect, or maintain a security interest in any property offered or taken as Collateral;

9)              Lender did not make or perfect a claim upon the death or disability of Borrower or any guarantor of the Note;

10)        The financial condition of Borrower or any guarantor was overstated or has adversely changed;

11)        Lender made errors or omissions in Loan Documents or administration of the Loan;

12)        Lender did not seek payment from the Borrower, any other guarantors, or any Collateral before demanding payment from Guarantor;

13)        Lender impaired Guarantor’s suretyship rights;

14)        Lender modified the Note terms, other than to increase amounts due under the Note.

9.                                       GENERAL PROVISIONS:

 

A.                                   ENFORCEMENT EXPENSES.  Guarantor promises to pay all expenses Lender incurs to enforce this Guarantee, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and costs.

B.                                     SBA NOT A CO-GUARANTOR.  Guarantor’s liability will continue even if SBA pays Lender.  SBA is not a co-guarantor with Guarantor.  Guarantor has no right of contribution from SBA.

C.                                     SUBROGATION RIGHTS.  Guarantor has no subrogation rights as to the Note or the Collateral until the Note is paid in full.

D.                                    JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.  All individuals and entities singing as Guarantor are jointly and severally liable.

G.                                     LENDER’S RIGHTS CUMULATIVE, NOT WAIVED.  Lender may exercise any of its rights separately or together, as many times as it chooses.  Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights without losing or impairing any of them.

H.                                    ORAL STATEMENTS NOT BINDING.  Guarantor may not use oral statement to contradict or alter the written terms of the Note or this Guarantee, or to raise a defense to this Guarantee.

I.                                         SEVERABILITY.  If any part of this Guarantee is found to be unenforceable, all other parts will remain in effect.

J.                                        CONSIDERATION.  The consideration for this Guarantee is the Loan or any accommodation by Lender as to the Loan.

7.9                                 Licensure; Notices of Agency Actions.  The following are conditions of this Agreement and the Loan:

 

(a)                                  Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, Operator shall be fully qualified by all necessary permits, licenses, certifications, accreditations and qualifications and shall be in compliance with all annual filing requirements of all regulatory authorities.

(a)                                  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that Borrower and Operator shall each set up and maintain all of their respective operating accounts and other accounts related to the Project and the Facility with Lender, shall deposit all of their respective income and receipts promptly upon receipt in such accounts, and shall maintain all of their respective cash and investments on deposit in deposit accounts with Lender.

(a)                                  Borrower shall not at any time own any asset or property other than the Project and property related thereto, and shall not at any time engage in any business other than the ownership, development, construction, leasing and operation of the Project.  The articles of organization and operating agreement of Borrower shall not be modified or amended, nor shall any member of Borrower be released or discharged from its, his or her obligations under the operating agreement of Borrower.

 

(b)                                 Borrower shall not at any time have outstanding any indebtedness or obligations, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, including any guaranty, other than the following: (i) obligations to Lender; (ii) obligations under interest rate protection agreements to which Lender is a party; (iii) obligations, other than borrowings, incurred in the ordinary course of the ownership and operation of the Project; and (iv) obligations under the Lease.

 

(c)                                  Borrower shall not at any time make any Distribution in violation of any of the following provisions:

 

(i)                                     Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time make any Distribution if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(ii)                                  Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time make any Distribution that would cause Borrower’s cash and cash equivalents remaining after such Distribution to be less than an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) the total amount of the security and other deposits received by Borrower from tenants of the Project, (ii) the total amount of accrued but unpaid real estate taxes on the Project, based on the last full year tax bill or bills received by Borrower, minus any amount held in a real estate tax escrow by Lender, and (iii) a reasonable working capital reserve.

 

(iii)                               Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time make any Distribution prior time that Operator has achieved a debt service coverage ratio calculated in accordance with Section 7.14 of this Agreement for two consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after September 30, 2012, and Borrower has delivered to Lender financial statements and compliance certificates as required by Section 7.4 of this Agreement demonstrating that such ratios have been achieved.

 

(iv)                              After the condition set forth in subparagraph (iii) above has been satisfied, Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time make any Distribution unless the

 

25

 

“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” (as defined below) for the Test Period (as defined below) was not less than 1.05 to 1.00.  For such purpose, the term “Test Period” shall mean (A) until the Loan has been outstanding for 12 full calendar months, the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of a Distribution, and (B) thereafter, the 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of a Distribution.

 

For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” shall mean, for any period, the ratio of —

 

(i)                                     the amount of EBITDAR for Operator for such quarter, to

 

(ii)                                  the sum of the amounts of the following for Operator for such period: (A) Debt Service, plus (B) Rental Expense, plus (C) Distributions, other than any amounts which were treated as an expense for accounting purposes.

 

Notwithstanding the definition of the term Net Income in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, the Net Income for Operator used in calculating EBITDAR of Operator for the purpose of this paragraph for any period, shall be computed by taking into account an annual capital expenditures reserve allowance of $350 per licensed bed in the Facility.  For the avoidance of doubt, unlike Section 7.14 hereof, the Net Income for Operator used in calculating EBITDAR of Operator for the purpose of this paragraph for any period shall be computed by taking into account Operator’s actual management fees for such period only and not taking into account any imputed management fees.

 

7.12                           Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)                                  Borrower shall not effect, suffer or permit any Prohibited Transfer.  Any conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) of any of the following properties or interests shall constitute a “Prohibited Transfer”:

 

(i)                                     The Project or any part thereof or interest therein, excepting only sales or other dispositions of collateral for the Loan no longer useful in connection with the operation of the Project, provided that prior to the sale or other disposition thereof, such collateral has been replaced by collateral of at least equal value and utility and which is subject to the lien of the Deed to Secure Debt with the same priority as with respect to the original collateral;

 

(ii)                                  Any shares of capital stock of a corporate Borrower, or a corporation which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in Borrower (other than the shares of capital stock of a corporate trustee or a corporation whose stock is publicly traded on a national securities exchange or on the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System);

 

26

 

(iii)                               All or any part of the membership interests in a limited liability company Borrower, or a limited liability company which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in Borrower;

 

(iv)                              All or any part of the general partner or the limited partner interest, as the case may be, of a partnership or limited partnership Borrower, or a partnership or limited partnership which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in Borrower;

 

(v)                                 If there shall be any change in Control (by way of transfers of stock, partnership or member interests or otherwise) in any partner, member, manager or shareholder, as applicable, which directly or indirectly Controls the day to day operations and management of Borrower or any Guarantor that is not a natural person and/or owns a Controlling interest in Borrower or any such Guarantor; provided, however, that this subparagraph shall not apply to AdCare; or

 

(vi)                              If any Guarantor who is a natural person shall die or be declared a legal incompetent;

 

in each case whether any such conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, encumbrance or alienation is effected directly, indirectly (including the nominee agreement), voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) liens securing obligations to Lender, (ii) the lien of current taxes and assessments not in default, (iii) any transfers of the Project, or part thereof, or interest therein, or any shares of stock or partnership or limited liability company interests, as the case may be, by or on behalf of an owner thereof who is deceased or declared judicially incompetent, to such owner’s heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators, estate or personal representatives, (iv) the Lease, or (v) Permitted Exceptions.

 

(b)                                 In determining whether or not to make the Loan, Lender evaluated the background and experience of Borrower and its members in owning and operating property such as the Project, found it acceptable and relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of maintaining the value of the Project.  Borrower and its members are well experienced in borrowing money and owning and operating property such as the Project, were ably represented by a licensed attorney at law in the negotiation and documentation of the Loan and bargained at arm’s length and without duress of any kind for all of the terms and conditions of the Loan, including this provision.  Borrower recognizes that Lender is entitled to keep its loan portfolio at current interest rates by either making new loans at such rates or collecting assumption fees and/or increasing the interest rate on a loan, the security for which is purchased by a party other than the original Borrower.  Borrower further recognizes that any further junior financing placed upon the Project (a) may divert funds which would otherwise be used to pay the Note; (b) could result in acceleration and foreclosure by any such junior encumbrancer which would force Lender to take measures and incur expenses to protect its security; (c) would detract from the value of the Project should Lender come into possession thereof with the intention of selling same; and (d) would impair Lender’s right to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as a foreclosure by Lender would be necessary to clear the title to the Project.  In accordance with the foregoing and for the purposes of (i) protecting Lender’s security, both of repayment and of

 

27

 

value of the Project; (ii) giving Lender the full benefit of its bargain and contract with Borrower; (iii) allowing Lender to raise the interest rate and collect assumption fees; and (iv) keeping the Project free of subordinate financing liens, Borrower agrees that if this Section is deemed a restraint on alienation, that it is a reasonable one.

 

7.13                           Leasing, Operation and Management of Project.

 

(a)                                  The Project shall at all times be owned by Borrower and leased to Operator under the Lease (with the result that Borrower shall not operate the Facility).  Borrower shall not agree or consent to or suffer or permit any modification, amendment or termination of the Lease, and shall not suffer or permit any Event of Default on the part of Borrower to exist at any time under the Lease.

 

(b)                                 It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that the Facility shall at all times be operated as a skilled nursing facility under the management of Operator.

 

7.14                           Operator Debt Service Coverage Ratio.  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that for each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2012, the ratio of —

 

(i)                                     the amount of EBITDAR for Operator for such quarter, to

 

(ii)                                  the total amount of Debt Service for Operator for such quarter,

 

shall be not less than (A) -1.25 (negative) to 1.00 in the case of the quarter ending September 30, 2012, (B) 1.35 to 1.00 in the case of the quarter ending December 31, 2012, and (C) 1.50 to 1.00 in the case of the quarter ending March 31, 2013, and each quarter thereafter.  For the avoidance of doubt, the ratio in clause (A) above is a negative ratio and the ratios in clauses (B) and (C) above are positive ratios.  Notwithstanding the definition of the term Net Income in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, the Net Income for Operator used in calculating EBITDAR of Operator for the purpose of this Section for any period, shall be computed by taking into account (i) management fees equal to the greater of Operator’s actual management fees for such period or imputed management fees equal to 5% of Operator’s gross income for such period as determined in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) an annual capital expenditures reserve allowance of $350 per licensed bed in the Facility.

 

7.15                           Borrower Coverage of Debt Service.  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the ratio of —

 

(i)                                     the amount of EBITDA for Borrower for such year, to

 

(ii)                                  the total amount of Debt Service for Borrower for such year,

 

shall be not less than 1.10 to 1.00.

(i)                                     the amount of EBITDAR for AdCare for such year, to

 

(ii)                                  the sum of the amounts of the following for AdCare for such year: (A) Debt Service, plus (B) Rental Expense,

 

shall be not less than 1.00 to 1.00.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if such ratio for any fiscal year is less than 1.00 to 1.00, the condition in this Section shall nevertheless be deemed to be satisfied if the amount of unencumbered, unrestricted cash shown as an asset in AdCare’s audited financial statements as at the end of such fiscal year is not less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) $2,000,000, plus (ii) the total additional amount of EBITDAR for AdCare that would have been necessary in order for such ratio to have been not less than 1.00 to 1.00 for such fiscal year and for all prior fiscal years ending after on and after December 31, 2012 (the “Cumulative Shortfall”); provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not apply if the Cumulative Shortfall is more than $3,000,000.

 

7.17                           AdCare Leverage Ratio.  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the ratio of —

 

(i)                                     the total amount of long term senior secured indebtedness of AdCare, including the current portion thereof, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, outstanding on the last day of such year, to

 

(ii)                                  the amount of EBITDA for AdCare for such year,

 

shall be not more than 11.00 to 1.00.

 

7.18                           Concerning Operator.

 

(a)                                  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that Operator shall not at any time own any asset or property other than the assets of the Facility and property related thereto, and shall not at any time engage in any business other than the operation of the Facility.

 

(b)                                 It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that Operator shall not at any time have outstanding any indebtedness or obligations, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, including any guaranty, other than the following: (i) obligations to Lender; (ii) obligations under interest rate protection agreements to which Lender is a party; (iii) obligations, other than borrowings, incurred in the ordinary course of the ownership and operation of the Facility; (iv) obligations under the Lease; and (v) obligations under the Operations Transfer Agreement.

The Capital Expenditures Reserve Account shall be held as additional security for the payment and performance of all of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and as security for all of the obligations of Operator under the Operator Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a first lien on and a first priority security interest in, the Capital Expenditures Reserve Account, all cash and investments from time to time on deposit in the Capital Expenditures Reserve Account, and all proceeds of all of the foregoing.  Commencing on August 1, 2012, Borrower shall make a deposit in the Capital Expenditures Reserve Account on the first day of each month in the amount of $4,666.  Lender shall disburse amounts on deposit in the Capital Expenditures Reserve Account from time to time at the written request of Borrower for the purpose of paying or reimbursing the cost of capital expenditures made by Borrower for the Project upon submission of invoices or receipts for such capital expenditures, provided that in the case of each disbursement that no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or under any of the Operator Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing.

ARTICLE 11

 

LENDER’S REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

11.1                           Remedies Conferred upon Lender.  During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender, in addition to all remedies conferred upon Lender by law and by the terms of the Note, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents, may pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any others:

 

(a)                                  Take possession of the Project and do anything required, necessary or advisable in Lender’s sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower hereunder, including the rights to employ watchmen to protect the Project from injury.  Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender as Borrower’s lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the premises to perform the following actions:

 

(i)                                     without inquiring into and without respect to the validity thereof, to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens, against the Project or any portion of the Project or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction and equipping of the Project or for the clearance of title to the Project;

 

(ii)                                  to prosecute and defend actions or proceedings in connection with the Project; and

 

(iii)                               to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf with respect to the Project, it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;

 

(b)                                 Withhold further disbursement of Loan Proceeds and terminate any of its obligations to Borrower;

 

(c)                                  Declare the Note to be due and payable forthwith, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives;

 

34

 

(d)                                 In addition to any rights of setoff that Lender may have under applicable law, without notice of any kind to Borrower, appropriate and apply to the payment of the Note or of any sums due under this Agreement any and all balances, deposits, credits, accounts, certificates of deposit, instruments or money of Borrower then or thereafter in the possession of Lender; and

 

(e)                                  Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted at law or in equity or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, foreclosure of the Deed to Secure Debt and enforcement of all Loan Documents.

 

11.2                           Right of Lender to Make Advances to Cure Event of Defaults; Obligatory Advances.  If Borrower shall fail to perform any of its covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents contained, Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements, and any amounts expended by Lender in so doing, and any amounts expended by Lender pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof and any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed advanced by Lender under an obligation to do so regardless of the identity of the person or persons to whom said funds are disbursed.  Loan Proceeds advanced by Lender to complete any work at the Project or to protect its security for the Loan are obligatory advances hereunder and shall constitute additional indebtedness payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

 

11.3                           Attorneys’ Fees.  Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the negotiation, preparation and administration of this Agreement and shall pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel for advice or other representation with respect to any matter concerning Borrower, this Agreement, the Project or the Loan Documents or if Lender employs one or more counsel to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any portion of the Project, or to attempt to enforce or protect any security interest or lien or other right in any portion of the Project or under any of the Loan Documents, or to enforce any rights of Lender or obligations of Borrower or any other person, firm or corporation which may be obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, heretofore or hereafter delivered to Lender in furtherance hereof, then in any such event, all of the attorneys’ fees arising from such services and actually incurred, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto and actually incurred, shall constitute an additional indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

 

11.4                           No Waiver.  No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any right or remedy provided at law or in equity.  No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case, in itself, shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

35

 

11.5                           Default Rate.  During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, interest on funds outstanding hereunder shall accrue at the Default Rate and be payable on demand.  The failure of Lender to charge interest at the Default Rate shall not be evidence of the absence of an Event of Default or waiver of an Event of Default by Lender.

 

ARTICLE 12

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.1                           Time is of the Essence.  Borrower agrees that time is of the essence in all of its covenants under this Agreement.

 

12.2                           Concerning the Operator Loan Documents.

 

(a)                                  This Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents and the undertakings of Borrower hereunder and thereunder and the security interests, mortgage, assignments and other liens created hereby and thereby as security for the Operator Loan and the Operator Loan Documents shall be continuing and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Project and the other collateral described herein and therein, and shall remain in full force and effect, and shall not be discharged, impaired or affected by (i) the power or authority of Operator to issue or to execute, acknowledge or deliver the Operator Loan Documents; (ii) the existence or continuance of any obligation on the part of Operator on or with respect to the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents; (iii) the validity or invalidity of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents; (iv) any defense, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever that Operator may or might have to the performance or observance of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents or to the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements contained in any of the Operator Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any defense based on any alleged failure of Lender to comply with the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or any limitation or exculpation of liability on the part of Operator; (v) the existence or continuance of any Operator as a legal entity; (vi) the transfer by any Operator of all or any part of any property encumbered by the Operator Loan Documents; (vii) any sale, pledge, assignment, surrender, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, extension, renewal, release, compromise, change in, modification or other disposition of any of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents or of any of the Operator Loan Documents, all of which Lender is hereby expressly authorized to make from time to time without notice to Borrowers, or to anyone; (viii) the acceptance by Lender of the primary or secondary obligation of any party with respect to, or any security for, or any guarantors upon, all or any part of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents; or (ix) any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Lender to realize or protect any of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents or any collateral or appropriation of any moneys, credits or property of Operator toward the liquidation of the obligations under the Operator Loan Documents or by any application of any moneys received by Lender under the Operator Loan Documents.  The obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents and the and the undertakings of Borrowers hereunder and thereunder and the security interests, mortgage, assignments and other liens on the Projects and other collateral created hereby and thereby as

 

36

 

security for the Operator Loan and the Operator Loan Documents shall not be affected, discharged, impaired or varied by any act, omission or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not specifically enumerated above, except the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the obligations hereby and thereby secured and then, in each case, only to the extent thereof.

 

(b)                                 Lender shall have the right to enforce this Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents for and to the full extent of the amounts hereby and thereby secured for the Operator Loan and the Operator Loan Documents, whether or not other proceedings or steps are pending or have been taken or have been concluded to enforce or otherwise realize upon the obligations of Operator under the Operator Loan Documents.  The enforcement of this Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents against the Projects or other collateral for the collection of the obligations of Operator under the Operator Loan Documents hereby and thereby secured shall not in any way entitle Borrowers, either at law, or in equity or otherwise, to any right, title or interest in and to the Operator Loan Documents or any of the other obligations hereby or thereby secured, or in and to any security therefor, or to any right of recovery against Operator, in each case whether by way of indemnity, reimbursement, contribution, subrogation or otherwise.

 

(c)                                  Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that Borrower is deemed to be a surety by reason of providing collateral for the Operator Loan as provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives any and all rights under the Illinois Sureties Act.  Also without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that Borrower is deemed to be a guarantor of the Operator Loan by reason of providing collateral for the Operator Loan as provided in this Agreement, Borrower also waives any and all rights under O.C.G.A. Section 10-7-24 et seq. (if such Sections were to be held by a court to be applicable to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents despite the choice of Illinois law in Section 12.13 of this Agreement and in other Loan Documents).

 

12.3                           Lender’s Determination of Facts; Lender Approvals and Consents.

 

(a)                                  Lender at all times shall be free to establish independently to its satisfaction and in its sole and absolute discretion the existence or nonexistence of any fact or facts, the existence or nonexistence of which is a condition of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Wherever in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents provision is made for the approval or consent of Lender or counsel to Lender, or that any matter is to be to the satisfaction of or as required by Lender or counsel to Lender, or that any matter is to be as estimated or determined by Lender, or the like, unless specifically stated to the contrary, such approval, consent, satisfaction, requirement, estimate or determination or the like shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender or counsel to Lender, as the case may be.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, wherever in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents provision is made for the approval or consent of Lender with respect to a matter, if Lender elects to grant such approval or consent, it shall not be unreasonable for Lender to make such approval or consent subject to the condition that such matter must also be approved or consented to in writing by any

 

37

 

one of more of Guarantors, any other guarantors of the Loan, and any parties other than Borrower that have provided collateral for the Loan.

 

12.4                           Prior Agreements; No Reliance; Modifications.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other documents or instruments executed pursuant thereto or contemplated thereby, shall represent the entire, integrated agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and shall supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements pertaining thereto, either oral or written.  Borrower acknowledges that it is executing this Agreement without relying on any statements, representations or warranties, either oral or written, that are not expressly set forth herein.  This Agreement and any provision hereof shall not be modified, amended, waived or discharged in any manner other than by a written amendment executed by all parties to this Agreement.

 

12.5                           Disclaimer by Lender.  Borrower is not or shall not be an agent of Lender for any purposes, and Lender is not a venture partner with Borrower in any manner whatsoever.  Approvals granted by Lender for any matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any written approval or, if not in writing, such approvals shall be solely for the benefit of Borrower.

 

12.6                           Loan Expenses; Indemnification.  Borrower shall pay all Loan Expenses promptly upon demand therefor by Lender.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless, Lender and its directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all liability, expense or damage of any kind or nature and from any suits, claims or demands, including legal fees and expenses on account of any matter or thing or action or failure to act by Lender, whether or not arising from a claim by a third party, and whether or not in litigation, arising out of this Agreement or in connection herewith, unless such suit, claim or damage is caused solely by any act, omission or willful malfeasance of Lender, its directors, officers, agents and authorized employees.  This indemnity is not intended to excuse Lender from performing hereunder.  This obligation on the part of Borrower shall survive the closing of the Loan, the repayment thereof and any cancellation of this Agreement.  Borrower shall pay, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all claims of any brokers, finders or agents claiming a right to any fees in connection with arranging the financing contemplated hereby.  Lender hereby represents and warrants that it has not employed a broker or other finder in connection with the Loan.  Borrower hereby represents and warrants that no brokerage commissions or finder’s fees are to be paid in connection with the Loan.

 

12.7                           Captions.  The captions and headings of various Articles and Sections of this Agreement and exhibits pertaining hereto are for convenience only and are not to be considered as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.

 

12.8                           Inconsistent Terms and Partial Invalidity.  In the event of any inconsistency among the terms hereof (including incorporated terms), or between such terms and the terms of any other Loan Document, Lender may elect which terms shall govern and prevail.  If any provision of this Agreement, or any section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word, or the application thereof, in any circumstances, is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the validity of the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid part were never included herein.
