Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees with and covenants unto the Lender that until the Loan Obligations have been paid in full, Borrowers shall:

33

 

terms and duly and punctually pay and perform or cause to be paid or performed all Loan Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

 

4.2                               Maintenance of Existence.  Maintain its existence as a limited liability company, and, in each jurisdiction in which the character of the property owned by it or in which the transaction of its business makes qualification necessary, maintain good standing.

4.4                               Accrual and Payment of Taxes.

 

(a)                                 Borrowers shall pay, on or before the due date thereof, all Taxes, levies, license fees, permit fees and all other charges (in each case whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen) of every character whatsoever (including all penalties and interest thereon) now or hereafter levied, assessed, confirmed or imposed on, or in respect of, or which may be a lien upon the Collateral or the Facility, or any part thereof, or any estate, right or interest therein, or upon the rents, issues, income or profits thereof, and shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such Taxes, assessments and other fees and charges as may be required by law.  Borrowers shall have the right before they become delinquent to contest or object to the amount or validity of any such Tax, assessment, fee or charge by appropriate legal proceedings, but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Borrowers’ covenant to pay any such Tax, assessment, fee or charge at the time and in the manner provided herein, unless Borrowers have given prior written notice to Lender of Borrowers’ intent to so contest or object, and unless (i) Borrowers shall demonstrate to Lender’s satisfaction that the legal proceedings shall conclusively operate to prevent the sale of the Collateral and Facility, or any part thereof, to satisfy such Tax, assessment, fee or charge prior to final determination of such proceedings; and (ii) if required by Lender, Borrowers shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or surety as requested by and satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to fully pay the contested amount, with penalties, interest and other charges if Borrowers should be unsuccessful in such contest; and (iii) Borrowers shall diligently pursue such contest.

 

(b)                                 Borrowers shall pay, on or before the due date thereof, all Taxes, assessments, charges, expenses, costs and fees which may now or hereafter be levied upon, or assessed or charged against, or incurred in connection with, the Note, the Security Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  Operator shall pay, on or before the due date thereof, all rents and other payments due under the Lease Agreement; and Borrowers shall pay all utility charges with respect to the Collateral and Facility, or which may become a charge or lien against the Collateral and the Facility, for gas, electricity, water and sewer services and the like furnished to the Collateral or the Facility, and all other public or private assessments or charges of a similar nature affecting the Collateral or the Facility or any portion thereof, whether or not the nonpayment of same may result in a lien thereon.  Borrowers shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such premiums, charges and other sums as Lender may require.

 

34

 

(d)                                 Borrowers shall not suffer any mechanic’s, materialman’s, laborer’s, statutory or other lien (except as expressly permitted by this Agreement) to be created or remain outstanding against the Collateral or the Facility; provided, however, that Borrowers may contest any such lien in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings provided the lien is bonded off and removed as an encumbrance upon the Collateral or the Facility.  Lender has not consented and will not consent to the performance of any work or the furnishing of any materials which might be deemed to create a lien or liens superior to the lien hereof.

 

(e)                                  In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured thereby or the manner of collecting such Taxes so as to adversely affect Lender, Borrower will pay any such Tax on or before the due date thereof.  If Borrowers fail to make such prompt payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Borrowers from making such payment or would penalize Lender if Borrowers makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the Loan Obligations shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable.

 

(f)                                   Each Borrower hereby, jointly and severally, indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from any sales or use Tax that may be imposed on the Lender by virtue of Lender’s Loan to Borrowers.

Insurance against loss or damage by fire, casualty and other hazards as now are or subsequently may be covered by an “all risk” policy or a policy covering “special” causes of loss, with such endorsements as Lender may from time to time reasonably require and which are customarily required by institutional lenders of similar properties similarly situated, including, without limitation, building, ordinance or law, lightning, windstorm, civil commotion, hail, riot, strike, water damage, sprinkler leakage, collapse, malicious mischief, explosion, smoke, aircraft, vehicles, vandalism, falling objects and weight of snow, ice or sleet, and covering the Facility in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full insurable replacement value of the Facility (exclusive of footings and foundations below the lowest basement floor) without deduction for depreciation.  The determination of the

 

35

 

replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing the coverage or, at Lender’s election, by reference to such indexes, appraisals or information as Lender determines in its reasonable discretion, and, unless the insurance required by this paragraph shall be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies in accordance with these terms, the policy shall include inflation guard coverage that ensures that the policy limits will be increased over time to reflect the effect of inflation.  Each policy shall, subject to Lender’s approval, contain (i) a replacement cost endorsement, without deduction for depreciation, (ii) either an agreed amount endorsement or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, and (iii) an ordinance or law coverage or enforcement endorsement if the Improvements or the use of the Property constitutes any legal nonconforming structures or uses, and shall provide for deductibles in such amounts as Lender may permit in its sole discretion.

(b)                                 Commercial General Liability Insurance.

If such policy shall cover more than one property, such limits shall apply on a “per location” basis.

Such liability policy shall delete the contractual exclusion under the personal injury coverage, if possible, and if available, shall include the following endorsements:  Notice of Accident, Knowledge of Occurrence, and Unintentional Error and Omission.  Absent written consent from Lender, Borrowers shall not change, cancel or renew the terms of such policy in any manner that would materially lessen the amount and scope of such insurance coverage applicable to the Property and Facility.

38

 

amendment reducing the scope or limits of coverage, or failed to be renewed, without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender in each instance.

Borrowers shall carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required by this Section 4.5.  If the limits of any policy required hereunder are reduced or eliminated due to a covered loss, Borrowers shall pay the additional premium, if any, in order to have the original limits of insurance reinstated, or Borrowers shall purchase new insurance in the same type and amount that existed immediately prior to the loss.

 

(m)                             Lender’s Right to Procure Insurance.  If Borrowers fail to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies and/or certificates of insurance required, Lender may, at its option, procure such insurance and Borrowers shall pay or, as the case may be, reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of all obligations related to the Loan.

 

(n)                                 Use of Blanket and Umbrella Policies.  The insurance required may, at the option of Borrowers, be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Borrowers or to an Affiliate of Borrowers covering the Facility and the properties of such Affiliate; provided that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement and allocate to the Facility, from time to time, the coverage specified by this Agreement, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other property (real or personal) named therein.  If the insurance required by this Agreement shall be affected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, Borrowers shall furnish to Lender original policies or certified copies thereof, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided under such policies which are applicable to the Facility. Additionally, umbrella coverage of no less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate, will extend over General Liability, Professional Liability, Automobile Liability, and Employer’s Liability.

 

(o)                                 Subrogation Rights.  Neither Lender nor its agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Agreement; it being understood that (i) Borrowers shall look solely to their insurance company for the recovery of such loss or damage, (ii) such insurance company shall have no rights of subrogation against Lender, its agents or employees, and (iii) Borrowers shall use their best efforts to procure from such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender.  If, however, such insurance policies do not provide for a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender (whether because such a waiver is unavailable or otherwise), then Borrowers hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent not prohibited by such insurance

 

39

 

policies, to waive their respective rights of recovery, if any, against Lender, its agents and employees, whether resulting from any damage to the Facility, any liability claim in connection with the Facility or otherwise.  If any such insurance policy shall prohibit Borrowers from waiving such claims, then Borrowers must obtain from such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender.

 

(p)                                 Condemnation and Casualty Loss.  In the event of condemnation or casualty loss, the entire award of insurance proceeds as a result thereof will be assigned to Lender with authorization, at Lender’s option, to apply all or a portion thereof up to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and to any other Loan Obligations or to release amounts in excess of such outstanding obligations related to the Loan to Borrowers, at Lender’s option in its sole discretion.

 

(q)                                 Use of Proceeds of Insurance or Condemnation.  At its option, Lender agrees that Lender shall make the net proceeds of insurance or condemnation (after payment of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses) available to Borrowers for Borrowers’ repair, restoration and replacement of the improvements on the Property, the equipment and the inventory damaged or taken on the following terms and subject to Borrowers’ satisfaction of the following conditions:

(ii)                                  At the time of such loss or damage and at all times thereafter while Lender is holding any portion of such proceeds, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default;

 

(iii)                               The Improvements, Equipment, and Inventory for which loss or damage has resulted shall be capable of being restored to its preexisting condition and utility in all material respects with a value equal to or greater than that which existed prior to such loss or damage and such restoration shall be capable of being completed prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of business interruption insurance as determined by an independent inspector or (B) the Maturity Date;

 

(iv)                              Within thirty (30) days from the date of such loss or damage Borrowers shall have given Lender a written notice electing to have the proceeds applied for such purpose;

 

(v)                                 Within sixty (60) days following the date of notice under the preceding subparagraph (c) and prior to any proceeds being disbursed to Borrowers, Borrowers shall have provided to Lender all of the following:

 

40

 

(A)                               complete plans and specifications for restoration, repair and replacement of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory damaged to the condition, utility and value required by (a) above,

(E)                                copies of all permits and licenses necessary to complete the work in accordance with the plans and specifications;

 

(vi)                              Lender may, at Borrowers’ expense, retain an independent inspector to review and approve plans and specifications and completed construction and to approve all requests for disbursement, which approvals shall be conditions precedent to release of proceeds as work progresses;

(i)                                     Borrowers shall maintain a Current Ratio (as defined below) of 1.0 to 1.0 commencing at the end of the first fiscal quarter after the Closing Date and thereafter as tested on a quarterly basis at the end of each quarter for the term of the Loan; and

 

(ii)                                  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Current Ratio” shall mean Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities.  “Current Assets” shall mean, only with respect to the Facility, cash, accounts receivable aged less than 90 days (any other receivable in such calculation to be approved by Lender), inventory, marketable securities, prepaid expenses and other assets that can be converted to cash within one year, excluding, at the sole discretion of the Lender, accounts or Indebtedness due to or from Affiliates of the

(c)                                  If any Borrower fails to achieve or provide evidence of achievement of the Current Ratio for the Facility, provided there is no continuing Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents and provided, further, that there has never been a default under Section 6.1(a) of this Agreement, Borrowers may deposit with Lender, at Borrowers’ option within thirty (30) days of such failure, additional cash or other liquid collateral in an amount which would have resulted in the noncomplying Current Ratio requirement having been satisfied.  If after Borrowers have deposited such additional cash or liquid collateral, any Borrower again fails to achieve or provide evidence of the achievement of the Current Ratio for the Facility requirements set forth above and such failure continues for a second consecutive quarter, Borrowers may deposit with Lender, at Borrowers’ option within thirty (30) days of such failure, additional cash or other liquid collateral (with credit for amounts currently being held by Lender pursuant to the foregoing sentence), in an amount which would have resulted in the noncomplying Current Ratio requirement for such quarter having been satisfied.  Borrowers shall not have the option to cure for failure to comply for any additional consecutive quarters and such an event will constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. Any additional cash or liquid collateral deposited by Borrowers hereunder in order to achieve the required Current Ratio for the Facility and cure any existing default with respect thereto will be held by Lender in a standard custodial account and shall constitute additional collateral for the obligations related to the Loan and an “Account” as defined in this Agreement, and, upon the occurrence of a default, may be applied by Lender, in such order and manner as Lender may elect, to the reduction of the obligations related to the Loan.

Provided that there is no outstanding Default or Event of Default, such additional collateral which has not been applied to the Loan Obligations will be released by Lender at such time as Borrowers provided Lender with evidence that the required minimum Current Ratio requirement set forth above has been achieved and maintained (without regard to any cash or liquid collateral deposited pursuant to this section) for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any additional liquid collateral posted by Borrowers under the Senior Loan Agreement for purposes of satisfying this covenant, if the lender thereof is an Affiliate of the Lender, shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements herein.

 

Borrowers shall be required to supply Lender with a certificate evidencing compliance with the requirements of this Section, which certificate shall be signed by an officer

 

49

 

or manager as appropriate.

If after Borrowers have deposited such additional cash or liquid collateral, any Borrower again fails to achieve or provide evidence of the achievement of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Facility requirements set forth above and such failure continues for a second consecutive quarter, Borrowers may deposit with Lender, at Borrowers’ option within thirty (30) days of such failure, additional cash or other liquid collateral (with credit for amounts currently being held by Lender pursuant to the foregoing sentence), in an amount which would have resulted in the noncomplying Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirement for such quarter having been satisfied.  Borrowers shall not have the option to cure for failure to comply for any additional consecutive quarters and such an event will constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. Any additional cash or liquid collateral deposited by Borrowers hereunder in order to achieve the required Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Facility and cure any existing default with respect thereto will be held by Lender in a standard custodial account and shall constitute additional collateral for the obligations related to the Loan and an “Account” as defined in this Agreement, and, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, may be applied by Lender, in such order and manner as Lender may elect, to the reduction of the obligations related to the Loan.  Borrowers shall not be entitled to any interest earned on such additional collateral.  Provided that there is no outstanding Default or Event of Default, such additional collateral

 

50

 

which has not been applied to the Loan Obligations will be released by Lender at such time as Borrowers provide Lender with evidence that the required minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio and minimum Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements set forth above have been achieved and maintained (without regard to any cash or liquid collateral deposited pursuant to this section) for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any additional liquid collateral posted by Borrowers under the Senior Loan Agreement for purposes of satisfying this covenant, if the lender thereof is an Affiliate of the Lender, shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements herein.

 

Borrowers shall be required to supply Lender with a certificate evidencing compliance with the requirements of this Section, which certificate shall be signed by an officer or manager as appropriate.

 

4.15                        Occupancy.  Starting with the quarter ending March 31, 2013, maintain or cause to be maintained, an average annual occupancy of the Facility as tested quarterly (on the basis of a fiscal year) of seventy percent (70%) or greater (based on 102 in-service beds).

For so long as the Loan remains outstanding, if any Event of Default shall occur hereunder, or if, in Lender’s judgment, a material depreciation in the value of the Property shall have occurred, then in any such event, Lender, may cause the Property to be appraised by an appraiser selected by Lender, and in accordance with Lender’s appraisal guidelines and procedures then in effect, and Borrowers agree to cooperate in all respects with such appraisals and furnish to the appraisers all requested information regarding the Property and the Facility.  Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with such appraisal which costs shall be secured by the Senior Mortgage and shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid.

 

(b)                                 Reserved.

 

(c)                                  Access; Inspections.

Upon an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, Lender shall have access to the Facility at any hour without notice.  Borrowers will agree to allow Lender or Lender’s representative access to conduct inspections of the Facility upon reasonable notice to Borrowers.  In cases of an emergency, Lender shall have the right to access the Facility to conduct inspections without notice.  In addition to and not in substitution for Lender’s rights under Section 4.8 (Books and Records), Borrowers agree to provide Lender, for any such inspection purposes, any data necessary for Lender to complete its

inspection. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for reasonable travel costs associated with one Facility visit per year.

 

(d)                                 Reports.  If any inspector’s report indicates that repairs or replacements are necessary over and above such capital expenditure requirement, Lender shall require a non-interest bearing repair escrow fund to ensure completion of the repairs.  The amount of any repair escrow shall be one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the estimated cost of repairs as determined by the inspector and Lender.  Lender also shall require an agreement satisfactory to Lender, which will provide for completion of the repairs and the disbursement of the escrow funds.  All fees and costs associated with any inspection, any report and any subsequent inspections (if required) shall be paid by Borrowers.

 

(e)                                  Clinical Inspection Fee for Facility. Borrowers shall pay to Lender the reasonable fees associated with a third party clinician that is engaged by Lender to inspect the Facility for clinical issues if the Facility’s plan of correction following any survey is not approved after the first revisit or where the Facility has been decertified or given a Denial of Payment.

63

ARTICLE VII.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

7.1                               Waiver.  No remedy conferred upon, or reserved to, the Lender in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity. Exercise of or omission to exercise any right of the Lender shall not affect any subsequent right of Lender to exercise the same.  No course of dealing between Borrowers and Lender or any delay on the Lender’s part in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of any of the Lender’s rights.  No waiver of any Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall extend to

 

65

 

or shall affect any subsequent or other then existing Default or shall impair any rights, remedies or powers of Lender.

 

7.2                               Costs and Expenses.  Borrowers will bear all taxes, fees, charges and expenses, including, but not limited to, in connection with the Loan, the Note, the preparation and servicing of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any amendments hereafter made), and in connection with any modifications thereto after the Closing Date, the recording or re-recording of any of the Loan Documents, surveillance of the Borrowers’ operations and evaluation of Lender’s, Borrowers’, or any Guarantor’s respective rights, obligations, actions or in-actions under the Loan Documents, including, any waivers or consents, all (a) out of pocket expenses of Borrowers and Lender; (b) recording fees, recording taxes, intangibles taxes, documentary taxes or similar taxes; (c) title insurance premiums, (d) costs of third party reports, including, but not limited to, environmental, engineering, appraisal, survey, title report, lien search, inspections, drawing of papers, architects, and Engineers expenses and charges; (e) attorneys’ fees of the Lender’s counsel; (f) fees and expenses of consultants and advisors of Lender, including financial advisors; and (g) expenses related to the employment of watchmen to protect the Property from injury in the event that after request Borrowers do not provide such protection, the amount of which taxes, fees, charges and expenses shall constitute additional Loan Obligations of Borrowers to Lender payable on demand of Lender.  If, at any time, a Default occurs or Lender becomes a party to any suit or proceeding in order to protect its interests or priority in any collateral for any of the Loan Obligations or its rights under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or if Lender is made a party to any suit or proceeding by virtue of the Loan, this Agreement or any Collateral and as a result of any of the foregoing, Lender employs or engages counsel, consultants or other advisors to advise, consult or provide other representation with respect to the Loan Documents, or to collect the balance of the Loan Obligations, or to take any action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Collateral, Borrowers or any Guarantor or operator, or to protect, collect, or liquidate any of the security for the Loan Obligations, or attempt to enforce any security interest or lien granted to Lender by any of the Loan Documents, then in any such events, all of the reasonable attorney’s fees, consultant fees, or other advisor fees arising from such services, including any fees for preparation of litigation and in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional Loan Obligations of Borrowers to Lender payable on demand of Lender.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers have undertaken the obligation for payment of, and shall pay, all recording and filing fees, revenue or documentary stamps or taxes, intangibles taxes, and other taxes, expenses and charges payable in connection with this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, the Loan Obligations, or the filing of any financing statements or other instruments required to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and any record searches, lien searches or other similar searches performed by Lender during the term of the Loan as determined by Lender to be necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretions, and should the Borrowers fail to do so, the Borrowers agree to reimburse Lender for the amounts paid by Lender, together with penalties or interest, if any, incurred by Lender as a result of underpayment or nonpayment.  Such amounts shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Security Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date advanced until repaid.

 

66

 

7.3                               Performance of Lender.  At its option, upon Borrowers’ failure to do so, the Lender may make any payment or do any act on Borrowers’ behalf that Borrowers or others are required to do to remain in compliance with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse the Lender, on demand, for any payment made or expense incurred by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, and until so repaid any sums advanced by Lender shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Security Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced until repaid.  Further, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to notify all account debtors to make payment directly to Lender until such time as (i) Lender has determined in its sole discretion, applied in good faith, that such Event of Default has been cured by Borrowers, (ii) Lender has waived such Event of Default, or (iii) all amounts due hereunder have been fully paid and discharged, whichever occurs first.

 

7.4                               Indemnification.  Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims, suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, losses, costs, expenses, diminutions in value, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlement, punitive damages, foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, of whatever kind or nature (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of defense) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lender by reason of:

67

(j)                                    performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property with respect to the Property, the Improvements or any part thereof;

(p)                                 the enforcement by any of the Indemnified Parties of the provisions of this Section 7.4.

Either party may change its address to another single address by notice given as herein provided, except any change of address notice must be actually received in order to be effective.

 

7.8                               Benefits.  All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  No Person other than Borrowers or Lender shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement or be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

 

7.9                               Participation.  Borrowers acknowledge that Lender may, at its option, sell participation interests in the Loan or to other participating banks or Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) assign its interest in the Loan to its affiliates, or to other assignees (the “Assignee”).  Borrowers agree with each present and future participant in the Loan or Assignee of the Loan that if an Event of Default should occur, each present and future participant or Assignee shall have all of the rights and remedies of Lender with respect to any deposit due from Borrowers.  The execution by a participant of a participation agreement with Lender, and the execution by Borrowers of this Agreement, regardless of the order of execution, shall evidence an agreement between Borrowers and said participant in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.9.

 

7.10                        Supersedes Prior Agreements; Counterparts.  This Agreement and the instruments referred to herein supersede and incorporate all representations, promises, and statements, oral or written, made by Lender in connection with the Loan.  This Agreement may not be varied, altered, or amended except by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Lender.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

7.11                        Loan Agreement Governs.  The Loan is governed by terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the terms of the other Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided, however, in the event there is any apparent conflict between any particular term or provision which appears in both this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and it is possible and reasonable for the terms of both this Agreement and the Loan Documents to be performed or complied with then notwithstanding the foregoing both the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be performed and complied with.

 

7.12                        Construction of Provisions of this Agreement.  Lender has not agreed to make any loan other than that specifically described herein.  All requirements herein shall be deemed material to Lender. Except as specified herein, all conditions and requirements must be satisfied by Borrowers prior to the Closing Date.  Whenever any of the Loan Documents refers to a matter being “satisfactory” to Lender, subject to Lender’s “approval” or “consent,” at Lender’s “option,” at Lender’s “determination,” “required” by Lender, may be “granted” or “denied” at Lender’s “request,” as Lender shall “deem necessary,” or similar terminology, it is

 

70

 

deemed that each of the aforesaid shall be in the sole discretion of the Lender (except as otherwise expressly provided), and if any term or condition requires Lender’s approval, consent, or satisfaction (the “Lender’s Approval”), the Lender’s Approval shall not be implied, but shall be evidenced only by a written notice from Lender specifically addressed to the particular requirement or condition and expressing Lender’s Approval.  If “Borrower” or “Guarantor” consists of more than one Person, all obligations of Borrowers or Guarantors are joint and several and all references herein to “Borrower” or “Guarantor” shall apply both individually to each Person and in the alternative to all of them collectively, whether or not so stated.

 

7.13                        Advertising.  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Lender is authorized to state in advertising or other press releases the fact that the type and amount of financing contemplated under the Loan Documents has been provided to Borrowers and Guarantor for the Facility by Lender.  Lender agrees not to include any confidential information of the Borrowers or any Guarantor in such advertisements.

 

7.14                        CONTROLLING LAW.  THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT AND EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND THE PARTIES HERETO SUBMIT (AND WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO OBJECT) TO NON-EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXCEPT THAT IF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISES UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, LAWS OR TREATIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OR IF THERE IS A DIVERSITY OF CITIZENSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES THERETO, SO THAT IT IS TO BE BROUGHT IN A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, IT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY OVER SHREWSBURY, NEW JERSEY OR ANY SUCCESSOR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.

 

7.15                        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE LOAN, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF LENDER AND/OR BORROWERS WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY PARTY’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.  EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT LENDER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL BE ABLE TO FILE A COPY OF ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED AGREEMENT OF EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY TO

 

71

 

WAIVE ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY AS AN INDUCEMENT OF LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN, AND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER (WHETHER OR NOT MODIFIED HEREIN) BETWEEN BORROWERS AND LENDER SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

 

7.16                        Joint and Several Obligations.  All obligations of Borrowers hereunder are joint and several.  All obligations of each Guarantor under the Loan Documents are joint and several.  The use of the phrases “either Borrower” or “each Borrower” or “any Guarantor” in some sentences herein is for clarity only; the failure to use such phrases elsewhere shall not alter the fact that each reference to either Borrower and any Guarantor hereunder is intended to mean each party included within such defined term, both jointly and severally.

 

7.17                        Time is of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents and of each provision hereof.

 

7.18                        Seniority; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indebtedness, rights, remedies and obligations evidenced hereby are senior and/or subordinate, if at all, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Subordination and Standstill Agreement and each signatory hereto shall be bound by the provisions of the Subordination and Standstill Agreement.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	
$5,000,000
    	
 
    	
August 17, 2012
    

 

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CSCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, and CSCC NURSING, LLC,  a Georgia limited liability company (collectively, the “Maker”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE SENIOR LIEN FUND I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter, together with any subsequent holder of this Note, the “Holder”) at its main office in the Borough of Shrewsbury, New Jersey, or at such other address as the Holder may, from time to time, designate in writing, the principal sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Loan”), together with interest thereon, such principal and interest to be payable as follows:

 

A.                                    On the date hereof, Maker shall pay to Holder a payment of interest in the amount of $22,430.56.

 

B.                                    On September 20, 2012, and on the twentieth day of each successive calendar month thereafter until July 20, 2015, Maker shall pay to Holder an installment of interest at the Note Rate on the principal amount of this Note (such payments under paragraphs A and B being hereinafter referred to as the “Installment Payments”) or such greater amount pursuant to the terms of this Note. The Installment Payments are set forth on an amortization schedule attached to the Loan Agreement (as defined below) as Schedule 2.4(a). Borrower acknowledges receipt and review of both Schedule 2.4(a) of the Loan Agreement and the electronic version of Schedule 2.4(a), which electronic version, among other things, sets forth the formulas and other calculations employed to create such amortization table.

 

D.                                    On August 20, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner prepaid, Maker shall pay to Holder, without demand, the outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, as such Maturity Date may be extended as provided for herein.

 

The Installment Payments are based upon an interest rate of eight and one-half percent per annum (8.50%) (the “Note Rate”).

 

Each payment received shall be applied in the following order:

 

(1)                                 First, to accrued and unpaid interest at the Note Rate as part of the Installment Payments; and

 

(3)                                 Second, to other principal amounts outstanding, subject to payment of any prepayment premium as defined in and due pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

1

 

Reference to the Loan Agreement between Maker and Holder of even date herewith, as the same may hereafter be amended (as so amended, the “Loan Agreement”) is hereby made for a statement of the rights of Holder and the obligations of Maker, which Loan Agreement is incorporated herein by this reference, but neither this reference to the Loan Agreement nor any provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of Maker to pay the principal and interest of this Note when due. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual number of days elapsed and dividing the product so obtained by 360. Interest for partial period payments will be calculated by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual days elapsed, and dividing the product so obtained by 360.

 

The principal and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payment.  Maker may prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, or any part thereof, only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

 

This Note is secured and guaranteed by the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the Mortgage, the Assignment of Lease and Rents, the Security Agreement and the Collateral.

 

The principal sum evidenced by this Note, together with accrued interest, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Holder upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, which such “Events of Default” are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full herein.

 

Notwithstanding other remedies available to the Holder, if any payment due hereunder is not made on or before the tenth (10th) day after such payment became due, Maker, in addition to the amount in default, will also pay to Holder a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment which is in default, but not more than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  Notwithstanding other remedies available to the Holder, if any payment due hereunder is not made on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after such payment became due, Maker, in addition to the amount in default, will also pay to Holder a total late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment which is in default, but not more than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  Thereafter, for each thirty (30) days such payment or charge is not paid, Maker agrees to pay Holder an additional late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment or charge which has not been paid to Holder.

 

2

 

Upon an Event of Default the Note Rate shall be increased by five hundred (500) basis points (such increased rate, the “Default Rate”), computed from the date of the notice from Holder of the Event of Default as described in the Loan Agreement, subject to Maker’s cure of such Event of Default within thirty (30) days following notice from Holder of such Event of Default.  If such Event of Default is not cured within such thirty (30) day period, the Note Rate shall remain at five hundred (500) basis points above the Note Rate computed from the date of the notice from Holder of such Event of Default until the Event of Default has been cured. The intent of such provision is that following an Event of Default, and regardless of any intervening Events of Default until such initial Event of Default is cured, the Note Rate shall be increased only one time and, once cured, any succeeding Event of Default shall then again be governed by the provisions of this paragraph. In the event (i) Maker cures such Event of Default to the satisfaction of Holder in its sole discretion (which, with respect to a payment Event of Default, shall mean solely repayment by the Maker of amounts then due under this Note) and (ii) Holder elects not to exercise any of its other remedies upon such Event of Default, interest on the Loan shall return to the Note Rate, all as more particularly described in the Loan Agreement.

 

Maker will bear all taxes, fees and expenses (including actual attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel of Holder) in connection with this Note.  If, at any time, a Default occurs or Holder becomes a party to any suit or proceeding in order to protect its interests or its rights under this Note, or if Holder is made a party to any suit or proceeding by virtue of this Note and as a result of any of the foregoing, Holder employs counsel to advise or provide other representation with respect to this Note, or to take any action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Note, then in any such events, all of the actual attorneys’ fees arising from such services, including attorneys’ fees for preparation of litigation and in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional obligations of Maker to Holder payable on demand of Holder.  Such amounts shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced until repaid.

 

With respect to the amounts due pursuant to this Note, the Maker waives the following:

 

(1)                                 All rights of exemption of property from levy or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts under the Constitution or laws of the United States or any state thereof;

 

(2)                                 Demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, suit against any party, diligence in collection of this Note, and all other requirements necessary to enforce this Note except for notices expressly required by the Loan Documents; and

 

(3)                                 Any further receipt by or acknowledgment of any collateral now or hereafter deposited as security for the Loan.

 

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest designated by applicable law, and in the event such payment is inadvertently paid by Maker or inadvertently received by Holder, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless Maker elects to have such excess sums refunded to Maker herewith.

 

3

 

It is the express intent hereof that Maker not pay and Holder not receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be legally paid by Maker under applicable law.

 

Holder shall not by any act, delay, omission, or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Holder.  All rights and remedies of Holder under the terms of this Note and applicable statutes or rules of law shall be cumulative, and may be exercised successively or concurrently.  Maker agrees that there are no defenses, equities or setoffs with respect to the obligations set forth herein, and to the extent any such defenses, equities, or setoffs may exist, the same are hereby expressly released, forgiven, waived and forever discharged.  The obligations of Maker hereunder shall be binding upon and enforceable against Maker and its successors and assigns.

 

Any provisions of this Note which may be unenforceable or invalid under any law shall be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity without affecting the enforceability or validity of any other provision hereof.

 

If Maker consists of more than one individual or entity, all obligations hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

Holder may, at its option, release any Collateral given to secure the indebtedness evidenced hereby or may release ay Guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and no such release shall impair the obligations of Maker to Holder.

 

IN ANY SUIT UPON THIS NOTE THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT, AND EFFECT OF THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.  THE HOLDER’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, AND THE MAKER AGREES THAT THIS NOTE SHALL BE HELD BY HOLDER AT SUCH PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS, AND THE HOLDING OF THIS NOTE BY HOLDER THEREAT SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT MINIMUM CONTACTS OF MAKER WITH THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONFERRING JURISDICTION UPON THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS PRESIDING IN SUCH STATE AND THE COUNTY OF HOLDER’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS.  MAKER CONSENTS THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS PRESIDING IN SUCH COUNTY AND STATE AND ASSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING THIS NOTE.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OTHER COURT.

 

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAKER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR IN

 

4

 

CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO OR CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE EXERCISE OF EITHER PARTY’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES THEREUNDER, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.

 

EACH MAKER AGREES THAT HOLDER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS WAIVER WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT OF MAKER IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER BETWEEN MAKER AND HOLDER SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
