The foregoing shall not prohibit employees at the Facility from making referrals to prospective Residents to more appropriate services, and receiving fees for such referrals to the extent referral fees are permitted under applicable federal, state and local laws, provided that Manager demonstrates to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction that such ancillary activities may be reasonably expected to provide long-term benefit to the business of the Facility. For example, but not by way of limitation, the referral of a prospective Resident to an at-home care program, where such prospective Resident is not yet in need of assisted living or independent living services, provides contact and marketing opportunities which encourage the individual to become a Resident on a later date when assisted living or independent living services are appropriate. No program shall be established where it is more beneficial to refer an individual to a different service than to have the individual become a Resident. In connection with the delivery of the Proposed Budget in accordance with Section 7.01 Manager shall deliver a written or oral notice to Owner describing Manager’s anticipated ancillary activities during the fiscal year to which the Proposed Budget pertains. If Owner believes that a proposed ancillary activity is in violation of this Section 4.08 and Owner refuses to consent to such ancillary activity, then Owner shall have the right to submit the dispute to Arbitration in accordance with Section 18.17.

5.02. Manager Pooling Agreement. So long as the Facility is subject to the Manager Pooling Agreement, in each Fiscal Year, Gross Revenues shall be distributed, to the extent available, as provided in the Manager Pooling Agreement and the provisions of Section 5.03 shall not apply.

5.03. Distribution of Gross Revenues; OD Loan.

(a) Distributions. For any period during which the Facility is not subject to the Manager Pooling Agreement, no later than the twentieth (20th) day following the end of each Accounting Period, the following items shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues, to the extent cash, revenues and receipts derived from operating the Facility are on hand and available with respect to such Accounting Period, in the following order of priority:

 

 

- 19 -


(1) pay Facility Expenses (including the Base Management Fee) payable during such Accounting Period,

(2) transfer into the FF&E Reserve those amounts required to be deposited into the FF&E Reserve pursuant to this Agreement, plus any FF&E Reserve Balance,

(3) pay Debt Service under the Facility Mortgage,

(4) pay any outstanding principal and accrued interest under any OD Loan,

(5) pay the remainder of the Gross Revenues, to Owner.

If and to the extent cash, revenues and receipts on hand and available are insufficient to satisfy the foregoing distribution, such deficiency shall be paid on the next distribution date on which cash, revenues and receipts on hand are sufficient to pay such distribution. In determining the amount of Gross Revenues available for distribution pursuant to Section 5.03(a), Manager shall use the accrual method of accounting. If at any time, including pursuant to the annual audit, Manager or Owner establishes that the distributions made pursuant to this subsection (a) with respect to a particular Accounting Period have not been correctly made, each party agrees that it will pay the appropriate amount to the other party to correct any mistakes; provided that there shall be no such obligation after the conclusion of two consecutive annual audits of the particular Accounting Period. All monthly distributions under this Section 5.03 shall initially be based upon the aggregate results anticipated as reflected in the Approved Budget for the Facility. If actual results vary from the Approved Budget, then Manager shall adjust the distributions of Gross Revenues based on its good faith estimate of anticipated results for the remainder of the full Fiscal Year, which estimate shall be based on actual year-to-date performance, and subject to ongoing cumulative reconciliation and repayment, if applicable, on a quarterly basis, to be conducted by Manager. For any period during which the Facility is not subject to the Manager Pooling Agreement, if the portion of Gross Revenues to be paid pursuant to Sections 5.03(a)(1), (2), (3), and (4) above is insufficient in any Fiscal Year to pay such amount in full for such Fiscal Year, any amount left unpaid shall accrue beyond such Fiscal Year and if Owner does not promptly fund such deficit as it relates to payments for Sections 5.03(a)(1), (2) and (3), Manager may (but shall have no obligation to) fund such deficit pursuant to an OD Loan.

(b) OD Loan. If, during any Accounting Period, Gross Revenues during such period are insufficient to pay the amounts set forth in Section 5.03(a)(1), (2) and (3) in full for such period, Owner shall fund any such shortfall within ten (10) days after notice from the Manager of such shortfall. If Owner shall fail to fund any such shortfall, such failure shall be an Event of Default by Owner under this Agreement. Nevertheless, Manager or an Affiliate of Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation) to advance the necessary funds to cover such shortfall and such funds shall be deemed to be a loan to Owner (the “OD Loan”). The OD Loan will initially bear no interest, will be unsecured and will be repayable by Owner to Manager or an Affiliate of Manager within thirty (30) days after written notice of the amount of the OD Loan is delivered to the Owner. Thereafter, if the OD Loan remains unpaid following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Manager shall have the right to withdraw an amount

 

 

- 20 -


equal to the OD Loan (including accrued interest) pursuant to Section 5.03(a) above. In addition, Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offset any unpaid OD Loan amounts against any amounts owed to Owner as a Cure Amount under Section 2.1(c) of the Manager Pooling Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the OD Loan shall bear interest at the rate of Interest accruing from the 31st day after funding until its repayment based on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

5.04. Credits and Collections. Manager shall install credit and collection policies and procedures, and Manager shall institute reasonable steps necessary to effectuate monthly billing by the Facility, and the collection of accounts and monies owed to the Facility. This also includes the institution of legal proceedings in the name of Owner, Manager and/or the Facility to collect such accounts or to enforce the rights of Owner or Manager as creditor under any contract in connection with the rendering of any service or the purchase of any goods, if necessary after Manager has used commercially reasonable efforts to collect such accounts, or to enforce such rights without the institution of such proceedings. Any and all reasonable costs and/or fees charged by a third party in connection with the collections and/or enforcement set forth in this Section shall be included in Facility Expenses.

5.05. Depositories for Funds.

(a) Manager shall maintain accounts and investments in such banks, savings and loan associations, and other financial institutions designated by Manager and reasonably approved by Owner. These accounts shall be in Manager’s name as agent for Owner, and withdrawals from such accounts shall be made solely by representatives of Manager whose signatures have been authorized to access the accounts, and the Manager shall be responsible for reimbursement of any amounts misappropriated from such accounts by its employees. These accounts shall be segregated from other of Manager’s accounts and investments. Manager shall maintain such balances therein as Manager shall deem appropriate, taking into account the cash flow management needs of the Facility and the disbursement from such accounts of such amounts of the Facility’s funds as Manager shall from time to time reasonably determine to be appropriate in the discharge of the responsibilities of Manager under this Agreement, as well as remaining in accordance with the Approved Budget. Any interest earned on the amounts in such funds (but not in the FF&E Reserve) shall be treated as Gross Revenues of the Facility. It is Owner’s responsibility to provide the funds needed to operate the Facility in a manner designed to meet the mutual goals of Owner and Manager set forth in Section 2.02 above, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Upon Owner’s request, Manager shall provide to Owner a list of all bank accounts maintained by Manager with respect to the Facility. Reasonable petty cash funds shall be maintained at the Facility.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all accounts and investments maintained by Manager or Owner hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the Loan Documents and this Agreement with respect to such accounts or investments, the Loan Documents shall govern.

5.06. Working Capital.

(a) As used herein, “Working Capital” means assets which are reasonably necessary and used for the day-to-day operation of the Facility’s business, including, without limitation, amounts sufficient for the maintenance of petty cash funds, amounts deposited in operating bank accounts, receivables, prepaid expenses, and funds required to maintain inventories and pay all Facility Expenses as they become due, less accounts payable and accrued current liabilities. Owner shall be responsible for ensuring that Manager has sufficient Working Capital at all times for operation of the Facility in accordance with the Approved Budget and in accordance with Manager’s Standards.

(b) During the period that the Facility is subject to the Manager Pooling Agreement, the Manager Pooling Agreement shall apply for determining Working Capital needs of the Facility.

(c) Manager will manage the Working Capital of the Facility prudently and in accordance with the Approved Budget. During the period that the Facility is not subject to the Manager Pooling Agreement, if Manager reasonably determines that levels of Working Capital drop below levels generally consistent with Manager’s Standards and as are reasonably required to satisfy Manager’s Standards, Manager may submit to Owner an estimate of additional Working Capital needed, together with reasonable backup explaining the cause for such shortfall. Owner shall provide such additional Working Capital to Manager no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request for the same, and shall give notice to Manager within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written request if Owner disputes the need for such additional Working Capital. In the event that Owner disputes Manager’s request for additional Working Capital, the dispute will be resolved exclusively by arbitration pursuant to Section 18.17. Either party may initiate such arbitration. Owner shall pay such disputed additional Working Capital to Manager to be held in escrow by Manager until such time as the arbitrator renders its decision and Owner shall disburse any undisputed amount directly to Manager to be used as additional Working Capital.

(d) Any Working Capital provided by Owner shall remain the property of Owner throughout the Term of this Agreement. Working Capital shall be available for use by Manager in accordance with this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Owner shall retain any of its unused Working Capital.

5.07. Impositions.

(a) All Impositions (defined below) which accrue during the Term of this Agreement (or are properly allocable to such Term under GAAP) shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues, as a Facility Expense, before any fine, penalty or interest is added thereto or lien placed upon the Facility or this Agreement, unless payment thereof is stayed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall impose upon Manager responsibility for funding payment of Impositions from Manager’s own funds. Owner shall within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of any invoice, bill, assessment, notice or other correspondence relating to any Imposition, furnish Manager with a copy thereof. Owner may initiate proceedings (or direct Manager to initiate proceedings) to contest any Imposition (in which case each party agrees to sign the required applications and otherwise cooperate with the other party in expediting the matter), and all reasonable costs of any negotiations or proceedings with respect to any such contest shall be paid from Gross Revenues and shall be a Facility Expense.

 

 

- 22 -


(b) The term “Impositions” means all levies, taxes, assessments and similar charges, including, without limitation, the following: real estate taxes, sales taxes, goods and services taxes, all water, sewer or similar fees, rents, rates, charges, excises or levies, vault license fees or rentals; license fees; inspection fees and other authorization fees and other charges by a Governmental Authority of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, or hereinafter levied or assessed of every character (including all interest and penalties thereon), which at any time during or in respect of the Term of this Agreement may be assessed, levied, confirmed or imposed on Owner or Manager with respect to the Facility or the operation thereof, or otherwise in respect of or be a lien upon the Facility (including, without limitation, on any of the inventories or Household Replacements now or hereafter located therein). Impositions shall not include any of the following: (1) any income or franchise taxes payable by Owner or Manager, or (2) any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax imposed on Owner, all of which shall be paid solely by the party against whom such expense was assessed, not from Gross Revenues or any other funds generated by or held with respect to the Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Impositions resulting from Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or fines or penalties imposed due to Manager’s failure to correct a noticed deficiency prior to the imposition of a fine (provided that reasonable notice and time to cure was given), or as a result of a repeat of a prior violation for which Manager was cited in the prior twelve (12) month period, shall be paid by Manager from its own funds and not as a Facility Expense, provided that Manager shall not be responsible for Impositions if Manager’s fault for such Impositions (i) is caused by an Event of Default by Owner, (ii) is caused by lack of funding by Owner, or (iii) is a result of the fact that Owner did not follow Manager’s recommendations for establishing sufficient funds in the Approved Budget. In the event that Manager and Owner disagree as to whether an Imposition is appropriate for reimbursement as a Facility Expense, the dispute will be resolved exclusively by arbitration pursuant to Section 18.17. Either party may initiate such arbitration.

ARTICLE VI

FINANCIAL RECORDS

6.01. Accounting and Financial Records. Manager shall, at its own expense, establish and administer accounting procedures and controls and systems for the development, preparation and safekeeping of records and books of accounting relating to the business and financial affairs of the Facility, including payroll, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and shall prepare monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports (including profit and loss statements) in accordance with the requirements of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto. Such interim reporting shall compare monthly and year-to-date results with the Approved Budgets. Manager shall prepare annual financial reporting in accordance with GAAP and reasonably cooperate with the Accountants in the annual audit. Manager shall also cooperate with Owner to provide any third-party lenders on the Facility with any reasonable Facility related financial information required by such third-party lenders under the terms of any loan secured by a Facility Mortgage, provided that Manager shall receive reasonable additional compensation for any different reporting formats required. If required by such third-party lenders, Manager shall certify such reports as true and correct in all material respects. The reasonable costs of the annual audit shall be a Facility Expense.

 

 

- 23 -


6.02. Reports. In addition to the Monthly Reports, Manager shall keep Owner informed as to the financial status, condition, and operation of the Facility and as to any State or local reporting requirements in connection with the licenses and permits necessary for Manager to operate the Facility, with written reports and such other or special reports as Manager may from time to time determine are necessary or which Owner may reasonably request. From and after such time Sunrise Senior Living Investment, Inc. (“SSLII”) is no longer required to deliver to CHT SL IV Holding, LLC (“CHT”) a quarterly certification under that certain Delegation Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between SSLII and CHT, Manager shall also provide Owner, within twenty (20) days following the end of each quarter during the Fiscal Year, a quarterly certification in the form set forth on Exhibit C-2 attached hereto. So long as Owner is indirectly owned by SSLII and/or CHT, Manager shall maintain a system of internal controls necessary for SSLII’s and CHT’s Sarbanes-Oxley certifications in the manner currently maintained by Manager.

6.03. Access; Audit. Owner shall have the right at least three (3) business days notice to Manager and at all reasonable times during the usual business hours of the Facility, to audit, examine and make copies of books of account maintained by Manager with respect to the Facility. Such right may be exercised through any agent or employee designated by Owner or by the Accountants. Further, at the end of the Term of this Agreement, or upon other termination of this Agreement, as provided herein, copies of all books and records kept for the Facility, including all records kept on electronic media, and accounts and funds belonging to each Facility, are to be promptly delivered to Owner in a form readable by generally available software. Manager shall have the right to locate any and all books of account and other records maintained by Manager with respect to the Facility either at Manager’s corporate office, located in McLean, Virginia or at the Facility. In the case of books of account and other records located at Manager’s corporate office, Manager shall make adequate space available to Owner at Manager’s corporate office to audit, examine and make copies of such books of account and other records, and Manager shall be under no obligation to relocate such records to the Facility for Owner’s review. In the event of any such audit, the final accounting shall be controlling over any interim accountings and the parties agree to make any necessary corrective financial adjustments determined by any such audit.

ARTICLE VII

ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET

7.01. Annual Operating Budget. (a) Manager shall, within the time limits set forth on Exhibit C-1, deliver to Owner (i) a draft annual operations budget for the next Fiscal Year for the Facility in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Proposed Budget”), for Owner’s approval, (ii) an estimate, on an Accounting Period basis, of Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses, and (iii) an explanation of anticipated changes to resident charges, payroll rates and positions, non-wage cost increases, the proposed methodology and formula employed by Manager in allocating the cost of Facility Expenses, a line-item detail of any shared Facility Expenses, and all other factors differing from the then current Fiscal Year. The Proposed Budget shall be considered by the Owner and, upon consultation with Manager, a final annual operations

 

 

- 24 -


budget (the “Approved Budget”) shall be approved based on the Proposed Budget. If there is a delay in the finalization of a new Approved Budget, or if the Proposed Budget is not approved as aforesaid, Manager shall operate the Facility pursuant to the prior Fiscal Year’s Approved Budget, increased by the greater of (i) three and one-half percent (3.5%) or (ii) any increase in the Index, until the Proposed Budget is approved by Owner. The amount of the Index increase for each Fiscal Year shall be determined by multiplying the Approved Budget for the previous Fiscal Year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (i) the Index most recently published immediately prior to the next Fiscal Year, minus (ii) the Index most recently published immediately prior to the immediately preceding Fiscal Year, and the denominator of which shall be the Index most recently published immediately prior to the immediately preceding Fiscal Year. Mathematically, the Index increase calculation may be expressed as (current Index - last year Index) ÷ last year Index. Provided that Manager is not an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, if consensus cannot be reached between the parties as to the Proposed Budget within sixty (60) days of Owner’s receipt of the Proposed Budget, the dispute will be resolved exclusively by arbitration pursuant to Section 18.17 (it being acknowledged that if Manager is an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, such dispute will be resolved subject to and in accordance with the JV Agreement). Either party may initiate such arbitration. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to the Approved Budgets, it is understood, however, that the Approved Budget is only a projection by Manager of estimated results and that various circumstances such as, but not limited to, the cost of labor, material, services and supplies, casualty, operation of law, or economic and market conditions may make achievement of the Approved Budget impracticable or not obtainable. Except for expenditures necessary to satisfy any Emergency Requirements, Manager will secure Owner’s prior approval if actual aggregate annual expenditures exceed the aggregate annual expenditures set forth in the Approved Budget by more than 10% (the “Permitted Variance”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner’s approval shall not be required if such excess actual aggregate annual expenditures (in excess of 10%) results in a Net Operating Income margin consistent with that in the Approved Budget for the applicable year. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any references to actions of Manager being “in accordance with the Approved Budget” or words of similar import shall mean the Approved Budget as adjusted by the Permitted Variance.

ARTICLE VIII

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

8.01. Owner Responsibility and Indemnification. In the event of the discovery of non-compliance with any Environmental Law related to Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on any portion of the Facility during the Term of this Agreement, Owner shall promptly remedy such matter to achieve compliance, including if required the removal of such Hazardous Materials, together with all contaminated soil and containers and shall otherwise remedy the problem in accordance with all Environmental Laws, except Manager shall bear the costs of such remediation at its own cost and expense if and to the extent such problem is the result of Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Manager, its stockholders, members, partners, trustees, directors, officers, agents, employees and beneficiaries, and any of their respective successors or assigns with respect to their interest in the Facility (collectively, the “Manager Indemnitees” and, individually, a “Manager Indemnitee”) for, from and against any and all debts, liens, claims, causes of action,

 

 

- 25 -


administrative orders or notices, fines, penalties, expenses, loss, costs, liability and damage (including, without limitation, engineers fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses and the cost of litigation) arising from the aforementioned non-compliance with Environmental Laws; and this indemnification obligation of Owner shall survive for one (1) year after termination of this Agreement. This duty includes, but is not limited to, costs associated with personal injury or property damage claims as a result of the presence of Hazardous Material in, upon or under the soil or ground water of the Facility in violation of any Environmental Law prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement. Owner shall undertake any litigation defense through its own legal counsel (at its sole cost and expense) of any indemnification duties arising from this Section 8.01. If Manager determines that the Manager Indemnitee’s interests in the outcome of such litigation conflicts with Owner’s interest, Manager shall have the right to participate in any litigation defense through its own legal counsel at Owner’s sole cost and expense, provided that Owner shall not be liable for any attorney fees incurred by Manager and Manager Indemnitees if it is determined by a judicial, administrative or arbitral proceeding that the presence of Hazardous Materials (which served as the basis of the Environmental Law violation) was caused by Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (with no contributory negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Owner), in which case Manager shall be responsible for both its own and Owner’s legal costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 8.01. “Hazardous Materials” shall mean and include any substance or material containing one or more of any of the following: “hazardous material,” “hazardous waste,” “hazardous substance,” “regulated substance,” “petroleum,” “pollutant,” “contaminant,” or “asbestos” as such terms are defined in any applicable Environmental Law in such concentration(s) or amount(s) as may impose clean-up, removal, monitoring or other responsibility under the Environmental Laws, as the same may be amended from time to time, or which may present a significant risk of harm to Residents, invitees or employees of the Manager or the Facility. All costs and expenses of the aforesaid removal of Hazardous Materials from the Facility and of the aforesaid compliance with all Environmental Laws shall be paid as a Facility Expense or from the FF&E Reserve (and Owner shall promptly replenish the FF&E Reserve to the extent funds from the FF&E Reserve were used in connection with any such action). Any amounts paid to Manager pursuant to the indemnity set forth in this Section 8.01, shall be paid by Owner from its own funds not as a Facility Expense nor from the FF&E Reserve.

8.02. Manager Responsibility and Indemnity. To the extent not otherwise covered by insurance maintained by either Manager or Owner, Manager shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Owner, its stockholders, members, partners, trustees, directors, officers, agents, employees and beneficiaries, and any of their respective successors or assigns with respect to their interest in the Facility (collectively, the “Owner Indemnitees” and, individually, a “Owner Indemnitee”) for, from and against any and all debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders or notices, fines, penalties, expenses, loss, costs, liability and damage (including, without limitation, engineers fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses and the cost of litigation) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against any Owner Indemnitee resulting from, either directly or indirectly, the presence during the Term in, upon or under the soil or ground water of the Facility or any properties surrounding the Facility of any Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Law, to the extent that any of the foregoing arises by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Manager, except to the extent the same also arises from the negligence or wrongful conduct of a third party or any other Owner Indemnitee. This duty includes, but is not limited to, costs associated with personal injury or property damage

 

 

- 26 -


claims as a result of the presence prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement of Hazardous Materials in, upon or under the soil or ground water of the Facility in violation of any Environmental Law. Upon written notice from the indemnified party and any other of the Owner Indemnitees, Manager shall undertake any litigation defense through its own legal counsel (at its sole cost and expense) of any indemnification duties set forth under this Section 8.02. If Owner determines that the Owner Indemnitee’s interests in the outcome of such litigation conflicts with Manager’s interest, Owner shall have the right to participate in any litigation defense through its own legal counsel at the sole cost and expense of Manager, provided that Owner shall be liable for any and all attorney fees incurred by Manager and the Owner Indemnitees if it is determined by a judicial, administrative or arbitral proceeding that the presence of Hazardous Materials (which served as the basis of the Environmental Law violation) was not caused by Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Owner and Indemnities, at their own expense, will cooperate fully with Manager. The indemnity obligation of Manager set forth in this Section 8.02 shall survive for one (1) year after termination of this Agreement.

8.03. Notice. Each party shall undertake reasonable efforts to notify the other party concerning the non-compliance of any Environmental Law or presence of any Hazardous Materials on or under the Facility of which the notifying party has knowledge; provided, however, that, except to the extent permitted by Section 18.10 below, the parties shall otherwise maintain such information confidential.

8.04. Obligation to Comply. Manager agrees to take all reasonable actions necessary to comply with all requests of lenders and insurers and with all Legal Requirements including implementing any and all remedial or preventative maintenance programs as circumstances may reasonably require to comply with any and all Environmental Laws. All such costs shall be paid as a Facility Expense to the extent they are typical and ordinary maintenance expenses, but if such costs are extraordinary in nature or should be properly treated as a capitalized expense, Owner shall bear such costs and shall promptly pay such expenses.

ARTICLE IX

OTHER FINANCIAL MATTERS

9.01. Charges. As part of the Approved Budget and at other times as determined by Manager, Manager will establish the overall rate structure of the Facility, including, without limitation, residency room charges, charges for all ancillary services, and charges for supplies, medication, and special services performed by Facility personnel. All such charges shall take into account the financial obligations of the Facility, the level of rates at other comparable facilities, and the importance of providing housing, services and care at a competitive rate, all considered in a manner most likely to achieve the goals set forth in Section 2.02 above.

9.02. Tax Status. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Manager shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Facility to be operated in a manner to assure that Owner and the Facility receive all benefits of Federal, State, county, municipal and city or district tax exemptions and/or credits available thereto. Manager shall provide Owner reasonably available data in its possession, or otherwise reasonably available to Manager, relating to the Facility which Owner may need for the preparation of Federal and State tax returns. Manager shall

 

 

- 27 -


provide such information upon request by Owner and in a timely manner so that Owner shall have sufficient time to prepare and file any necessary tax returns. Manager shall not be responsible for the preparation of any of Owner’s tax returns.

9.03. Employee Withholding. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable local, State and Federal requirements concerning the withholding of taxes from employee wages.

ARTICLE X

GENERAL COVENANTS AND OWNER AND MANAGER OBLIGATIONS

10.01. Owner’s Obligations. Owner hereby agrees to comply with all of the applicable provisions of this Agreement and to perform all obligations of Owner as otherwise set forth herein. Owner further agrees to take all steps reasonably necessary to facilitate Manager’s provision of management services hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Manager’s Standards, and to ensure, consistent with the provisions herein, that Owner, and Owner’s employees and agents, provide necessary assistance and cooperation to Manager in connection therewith.

10.02. Manager’s Obligations. Manager hereby agrees to comply with all of the provisions in this Agreement and to perform all obligations of Manager as otherwise set forth herein.

10.03. Quiet Enjoyment. Owner covenants that, so long as Owner has not terminated this Agreement by reason of (a) an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement, or (b) the exercise by Owner of any right of Owner to terminate this Agreement under any other Section of this Agreement, Manager shall quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Facility throughout the Term hereof free from hindrance or ejection by Owner or other party claiming under, through or by right of Owner. Owner agrees to pay and discharge any payments and charges and, at its expense, to prosecute all appropriate actions, judicial or otherwise, necessary to assure such free and quiet occupancy except those resulting from any act or failure to act on the part of Manager in violation of this Agreement. Nothing set forth in the preceding sentence, however, shall be deemed to create a recourse obligation by Owner to pay any payment or charge pursuant to a contract that is otherwise, by its terms, non-recourse to Owner.

10.04. Financing of the Facility.

(a) Facility Mortgage. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Owner, as may be reasonably requested by Owner, in its efforts to obtain financing or replacement financing (a “Financing”) for the Facility on favorable terms (e.g., providing prospective lender with information about Manager generally available to the public from a publicly traded company). Owner shall have the right to encumber all of the assets that comprise the Facility, any part thereof, or any interest therein, including the common elements on which the Facility is located, the Facility building and all improvements thereto and all FF&E and equipment and operating supplies placed in or used in connection with the operation of the Facility as contemplated in any Facility Mortgage that is entered into by Owner, provided that any Mortgagee under such Facility Mortgage grants reasonable non-disturbance to Manager,

 

 

- 28 -


further provided that the Facility Mortgage shall not allow such Mortgagee to use any Working Capital or FF&E Reserve amounts to pay debt service on the Facility Mortgage as such Working Capital and FF&E Reserve amounts shall be used exclusively for the operation of the Facility.

(b) Owner Consent. If the loan documents executed in connection with a Financing or any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed by Manager in connection with the Financing (the “Loan Documents”) contain provisions requiring Manager (upon default under the Financing or upon various other stipulated conditions) to pay certain amounts which are otherwise due to Owner under the Management Agreement (after the payment of Facility Expenses) to the lender or its designee (rather than to Owner), Owner hereby gives its consent to such provisions, which consent shall be deemed to be irrevocable until the entire Financing debt secured by the Facility has been discharged.

(c) Modification of Manager’s Obligations. The parties acknowledge that a lender under a proposed Financing may impose requirements on the operations of the Facility that exceed those or are different from those set forth in this Agreement or the Manager Pooling Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Manager shall comply with those obligations under the Loan Documents that are within the scope of Manager’s duties under this Agreement or the Manager Pooling Agreement, and execute an amendment to this Agreement or the Manager Pooling Agreement reflecting any additional obligations or duties required by the Loan Documents but only to the extent that (i) any additional duties or obligations shall be subject to Manager’s reasonable ability to perform, (ii) no budgetary or other restriction which might be imposed by any lender shall in any way impair Manager’s ability to maintain all appropriate licenses for the Facility nor expose Manager to any potential liability for inadequate care, (iii) adequate funds are provided to Manager (either by the Facility’s cash flow or by Owner), and (iv) such additional duties or obligations do not diminish the formula for the fees or reimbursements becoming due to Manager under this Agreement or the Manager Pooling Agreement and do not otherwise (A) adversely affect Manager’s rights and interests under this Agreement or the Manager Pooling Agreement or (B) create any additional liabilities or obligations on the part of Manager under this Agreement or the Manager Pooling Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENTS

11.01. Routine Repairs and Maintenance. Manager shall maintain the Facility in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable Legal Requirements (or in conformity with Manager’s Standards, if higher), and shall make or cause to be made such routine maintenance, repairs and minor alterations, and Emergency Expenditures which are not capitalized under GAAP, the cost of which can be expensed under GAAP, as it, from time to time, deems necessary for such purposes. The cost of such maintenance, repairs and alterations shall be paid from Gross Revenues and treated as a Facility Expense in determining Net Operating Income. All repairs shall be made in a good, workmanlike manner, consistent with Manager’s Standards, in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements relating to such work.

 

 

- 29 -


11.02. FF&E Reserve and Routine Expenditures.

(a) FF&E Reserve. Manager, on behalf of Owner, shall establish an interest bearing reserve account (the “FF&E Reserve”) at a bank designated by Owner to cover the cost of the following (collectively “Routine Expenditures”). All interest earned on the funds in the FF&E Reserve shall be added to and shall remain a part of the FF&E Reserve. Such account shall be established in Owner’s name and control for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. All funds in the FF&E Reserve, all interest earned thereon and all property purchased with funds from the FF&E Reserve shall be and shall remain the property of Owner:

(1) Replacements, renewals and additions to the Facility’s FF&E as required to meet Manager’s Standards and Legal Requirements; and

(2) Certain routine refurbishments to the Facility buildings as required to meet Manager’s Standards and Legal Requirements and which are normally capitalized under GAAP such as exterior and interior repainting, resurfacing building walls, floors, roofs and parking areas, but which are not Non-Routine Capital Expenditures.

(b) Throughout the Term, Manager shall transfer into the FF&E Reserve one twelfth (1/12) of the FF&E Reserve Payment each Accounting Period.

(c) Manager shall submit by November 30th of each Fiscal Year an estimate (the “FF&E Estimate”) of the expenditures necessary for (i) replacements, renewals and additions to the Facility’s FF&E described in Section 11.02(a)(1), and (ii) repairs to the Facility of the nature described in Section 11.02(a)2, during the ensuing Fiscal Year, and shall submit such FF&E Estimate to Owner for its review. Manager will at all times give good faith consideration to Owner’s suggestions regarding any FF&E Estimate. In the event that such FF&E Estimate projects a deficit in the FF&E Reserve, Owner and Manager will work together in good faith to prepare an alternate estimate which will reduce or eliminate such deficit, but also take into account the needs of the Facility. All expenditures from the FF&E Reserve will be both reasonable and necessary, given the objective that the Facility will be maintained and operated in accordance with Manager’s Standards.

(d) Manager shall from time to time make such (1) replacements, renewals and additions to the Facility’s FF&E described in Section 11.02(a)(1), and (2) repairs to the Facility of the nature described in Section 11.02(a)(2), as it deems necessary, provided that Manager shall not expend more than the balance in the FF&E Reserve without the prior approval of Owner. Manager will endeavor to follow the applicable FF&E Estimate, but shall be entitled to depart therefrom, in its reasonable discretion, provided that (A) such departures from the applicable FF&E Estimate result from circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the submission of such FF&E Estimate or (B) such departures from the applicable FF&E Estimate result from circumstances which require prompt repair and/or replacement or are necessary to comply with Legal Requirements or Emergency Requirements. Following any such departures that exceed the FF&E Estimate by more than ten percent (10%) in the aggregate, Manager shall submit to Owner a revised FF&E Estimate for the balance of the Fiscal Year for Owner’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. At the end of each Fiscal Year, any amounts remaining in the FF&E Reserve shall be retained in the FF&E Reserve and shall be carried forward to the next Fiscal Year.

 

 

- 30 -


(e) Upon a sale of the Facility, funds in the FF&E Reserve will not be affected (or, if withdrawn, Owner will require that funds in the FF&E Reserve will be replaced by the purchaser of the Facility) and all dispositions of such funds (both before and after such sale of the Facility) will continue to be made exclusively pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Proceeds from the sale of FF&E no longer necessary to the operation of the Facility shall be deposited in the FF&E Reserve, as shall any interest which accrues on amounts placed in the FF&E Reserve. Neither (i) proceeds from the disposition of FF&E, nor (ii) interest which accrues on amounts held in the FF&E Reserve, shall either (x) result in any reduction in the required contribution to the FF&E Reserve set forth in subsection (b) above or (y) be included in Gross Revenues. Manager shall be authorized to lease (rather than purchase) shuttle vans, postal machines, photocopiers and other office equipment. Lease payments with respect to such leases shall be paid from Gross Revenues and will be a Facility Expense if it is an operating lease; if it is a capital lease, lease payments shall be paid from the FF&E Reserve. It is understood that Manager shall not be required to guarantee or otherwise stand behind any lease obligations of Owner.

(f) FF&E Reserve Payments. The amount of the annual FF&E Reserve payment (the “FF&E Reserve Payment”) shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per unit per annum during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Effective Date. On each anniversary of the Effective Date (each, an “Adjustment Date”), the FF&E Reserve Payment shall be increased by any increase in the Index during the preceding 12 month period, as determined calculating a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (A) the Index most recently published immediately prior to the particular Operating Year in question, minus (B) the Index most recently published immediately prior to the immediately preceding Operating Year, and the denominator of which shall be the Index most recently published immediately prior to the immediately preceding Operating Year. Mathematically, the Index increase calculation may be expressed as (current Index - last year Index) ÷ last year Index.

(g) The FF&E Reserve Payment which is described in 11.02(f) is an estimate based upon Manager’s prior experience with other comparable retirement communities. As the Facility ages, this FF&E Reserve Payment may not be sufficient to keep the FF&E Reserve at the levels necessary to make the replacements, renewals or additions to the Facility’s FF&E described in Section 11.02(a)(1), or to make the refurbishments to the Facility of the nature described in Section 11.02(a)2, which are required to maintain the Facility in accordance with Manager’s Standards. If any FF&E Estimate which is prepared in accordance with 11.02(c) would require funding in excess of the FF&E Reserve Payment which is set forth in 11.02(f) above, Owner may either:

(1) Agree to increase the FF&E Reserve Payment set forth in 11.02(f) up to the level set forth in the FF&E Estimate, in order to provide the additional funds required, such increases to be treated as Facility Expenses,

(2) Make a lump-sum contribution to the FF&E Reserve in the necessary amount to increase the FF&E Reserve to a level sufficient to fund the items in the FF&E Estimate; or

(3) Provide Manager in writing with the specific reasons for its disapproval and election to not increase the FF&E Reserve Payment pursuant to Section 11.02(g)(1) or make a lump-sum contribution to the FF&E Reserve pursuant to Section 11.02(g)(2) within thirty (30) days. Thereafter, in the fifteen (15) day period following Manager’s receipt of Owner’s disapproval, the parties will attempt to resolve in good faith the objections so specified by Owner. Provided that Manager is not an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, in the event that one or more of such objections have not been resolved as of the end of such fifteen (15) day period, any such matter shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant Section 18.17 (it being acknowledged that if Manager is an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, such dispute will be resolved subject to and in accordance with the JV Agreement). The foregoing notwithstanding, Manager may proceed with the implementation of any portion of its assessment and recommendations that is not subject to dispute.

If Owner elects not to agree to either option (1), (2) or (3) above, or Owner does not respond with respect to either option within thirty (30) days after submission of the FF&E Estimate (or, if Owner has elected option (2), if Owner fails to fund the required amount within a thirty (30) days of Manager’s request therefor), such failure shall constitute an Event of Default by Owner and Manager may (in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it), treat such failure to fund as an election by Owner of the option set forth in 11.02(g)(1) above. In addition, the placing of any restrictions on the expenditure by Manager of funds from the FF&E Reserve other than as set forth in this Article XI or in Article 7 (including, without limitation, restrictions resulting from (a) any litigation involving Owner or the Facility or (b) a foreclosure) shall constitute and Event of Default by Owner.

11.03. Non-Routine Capital Expenditures.

(a) Capital Budget. Manager shall prepare an annual estimate (the “Capital Budget”) of Non-Routine Capital Expenditures. Manager shall submit such Capital Budget to Owner for Owner’s approval no later than December 15th of each Fiscal Year. Owner shall not unreasonably withhold its consent with respect to such Non-Routine Capital Expenditures which are: (1) required, in Manager’s reasonable judgment, to keep the Facility in a competitive, efficient and economical operating condition to meet Manager’s Standards, (2) reasonably required to achieve material compliance with any applicable Legal Requirements or in accordance with Manager’s Standards (if Manager’s Standards are higher than the Legal Requirements), or (3) refurbishments or replacements of portions of the Facility with respect to which it is no longer reasonably prudent to perform only routine maintenance in order to keep the Facility in good condition and repair, consistent with Manager’s Standards. In the event Owner disapproves any portion of such Capital Budget that requires Owner’s consent, Owner will provide Manager in writing with the specific reasons for its disapproval within thirty (30) days of the date of submission of the Capital Budget to Owner. Thereafter, in the twenty-five (25) day period following Manager’s receipt of Owner’s disapproval, the parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any objections so specified by Owner. Provided that Manager is not an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, in the event one or more of such objections have not been resolved as of the end of such twenty-five (25) day period, the dispute will be resolved exclusively by arbitration pursuant to Section 18.17 and

 

 

- 32 -


either party may initiate such arbitration (it being acknowledged that if Manager is an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, such dispute will be resolved subject to and in accordance with the JV Agreement). Pending a final resolution, Manager may proceed with the implementation of any portion of such Capital Budget that is not subject to dispute.

(b) The cost of all Non-Routine Capital Expenditures shall be paid from the FF&E Reserve as set forth in the FF&E Estimate (subject to the Permitted FF&E Reserve Variance). If and to the extent amounts in the FF&E Reserve are insufficient to satisfy the cost of such Non-Routine Capital Expenditures, Owner shall be solely responsible for the amount of such shortfall. The failure of Owner to fulfill its obligations under this Section within thirty (30) days of Manager’s request therefor shall constitute an Event of Default by Owner.

11.04. Emergency Expenditures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI, Manager shall be authorized to take appropriate remedial action (including making any necessary expenditures from the FF&E Reserve for capital items or exceeding the maintenance and repairs budget for non-capital Emergency Expenditures), without receiving Owner’s prior approval, to remedy or respond to any Emergency Requirements (provided that Manager shall give Owner notice of any such remedial action that requires more than a de minimis expenditure of funds from the FF&E Reserve or exceeds the repairs and maintenance budget) (hereinafter “Emergency Expenditures”). Manager shall, as soon as reasonably practical under the circumstances, notify Owner of any action that it may have taken and any costs it may have paid or incurred utilizing the FF&E Reserve under this Section 11.04 and shall cooperate with Owner in the pursuit of any such action and shall have the right to participate therein. Owner shall reimburse Manager for any such costs incurred by Manager in connection with any such remedial action (and shall replenish the FF&E Reserve of the Facility, to the extent funds from the FF&E Reserve were used in connection with any such remedial action) within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt of written notice from Manager of the amount of such costs.

11.05. Owner to Provide Funds; Failure of Owner to Fund.

(a) Owner shall timely provide sufficient funds required to be provided under this Article XI, as they are incurred or become due. This obligation shall continue throughout the Term without regard to the sufficiency of Gross Revenues, or the existence of any Event of Default by Manager hereunder. With respect to expenditures under 11.02, it is anticipated that this obligation will be met by Manager, on Owner’s behalf, paying Facility Expenses, first from Gross Revenues as made available to Manager for such purpose, then from available Working Capital, then, if such funds are insufficient, from funds provided by Owner. Notwithstanding Section 5.03(d), it is specifically agreed that Manager has no obligation hereunder to provide either funds or its credit for the benefit of Owner for the Facility. However, the parties acknowledge that Residents, employees, contractors, suppliers and other third parties doing business with the Facility may rely upon the credit, good name, and reputation of Manager. Therefore, timely compliance by Owner of its obligations under this Article XI is material in every respect and time is of the essence.

(b) An unreasonable failure or refusal by Owner to fund the amounts required to be funded under this Article XI within a thirty (30) day period after Manager’s request

 

 

- 33 -


therefor shall be an Event of Default by Owner and shall entitle Manager to terminate this Agreement and to exercise Manager’s remedies under Article XIV. Such termination shall be evidenced by a written notice to Owner, which notice shall be delivered to Owner no later than ninety (90) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period described in the preceding sentence. The effective date of such termination shall be the date stated by Manager in such notice, provided that such effective date shall be no less than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice.

11.06. Liens Arising From Repairs and Alterations. Manager and Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any liens from being filed against the Facility which arise from any maintenance, repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements in or to the Facility. Each of Manager and Owner shall cooperate fully in obtaining the release of any such liens, and the costs thereof, if the lien was not occasioned by the fault of either party, shall be treated the same as the cost of the matter to which it relates. If the lien arises as a result of the fault of either party, then the party at fault shall bear the cost of obtaining the lien release.

ARTICLE XII

INSURANCE; DAMAGE; CONDEMNATION; FORCE MAJEURE

12.01. General Requirements.

(a) Manager, in Manager’s name, shall negotiate with independent insurance companies of recognized responsibility, a contract or contracts for, and keep in full force and effect, all policies of insurance of the type, extent, amount and cost of coverage which will be provided to Owner and otherwise consistent with sound management of the Facility and market availability, insuring Owner, Manager and the Facility against the risks customarily insured against for such a facility (the “Insurance Program”). The cost of the Insurance Program shall be included in the Approved Budget and the Annual Operating Budget as a Facility Expense. As of the date of this Agreement, the current coverages maintained under the Insurance Program are set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto. If Owner desires to increase the insurance coverage set forth in Exhibit E attached, Owner shall notify Manager of its request and Manager will purchase additional insurance provided that Owner timely provides Manager the required funds to purchase such additional insurance if there is insufficient funds from the Facility to pay for such additional expense. Manager shall obtain Owner’s consent prior to decreasing the insurance coverage set forth in Exhibit E attached.

(b) The amount of any insurance deductibles paid by Owner (or by Manager on Owner’s behalf out of Gross Revenues) shall be a Facility Expense. Neither Manager nor its Affiliates shall be required to pledge their credit in order to obtain any letters of credit issued to the insurance carriers in connection with any insurance policies.

(c) As soon as practicable following the issuance of any policy of insurance required hereby, Manager shall provide Owner with a certificate or certificates evidencing that policy. Any policy in the Insurance Program may be cancelled or materially changed only upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice by the insurer to the Named Insured. Such changes will be discussed with the Owner.

 

 

- 34 -


12.02. Blanket Policies. All insurance described in Section 12.01 may be obtained by Manager by endorsement or equivalent means under its blanket insurance policies, provided that such blanket policies substantially fulfill the requirements specified herein.

12.03. Risk Management. One of the responsibilities of the Manager shall be to provide risk management oversight at the Facility.

12.04. Damage and Repair. The following provisions shall apply in the event the Facility is damaged by a Major Casualty or a Minor Casualty, subject to the requirements of any Facility Mortgage as to which Owner has complied with the terms of Section 4.03(n).

(a) Minor Casualty. If, during the Term, the Facility is damaged by a Minor Casualty, Manager shall, with all reasonable diligence, proceed to process the claim with the applicable insurance carriers, including settling such claim, and to make the necessary arrangements with appropriate contractors and suppliers to repair and/or replace the damaged portion of the Facility. Owner’s consent shall not be needed for Manager to perform any of the foregoing, all of which shall be performed in accordance with Manager’s reasonable judgment; provided, however, that the parties agree that the standard for such repair and/or replacement shall be to repair and/or replace the damaged portion of the Facility to levels of quality and quantity that are equal to those that existed with respect to such portion of the Facility prior to the occurrence of the damage at issue. Owner agrees to sign promptly any documents which are necessary to process and/or adjust the claim with the insurance carriers, as well as any contracts with such contractors and/or suppliers. Manager shall be entitled to receive a construction management fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total cost of all work undertaken pursuant to this Section, provided that the same is payable from insurance proceeds covering the cost of such repairs and/or replacements.

(b) Major Casualty. If, during the Term, the Facility suffers a Major Casualty, Owner shall, at its cost and expense and with all reasonable diligence, repair and/or replace the damaged portion of the Facility to the same condition as existed previously. Manager shall have the right to discontinue operating the Facility to the extent it deems necessary to comply with applicable Legal Requirements or as necessary for the safe and orderly operation of the Facility in accordance with Manager’s Standards. To the extent available, proceeds from any casualty insurance shall be applied to such repairs and/or replacements. If Owner fails to so promptly commence (no later than 30 days after receipt of the insurance proceeds) and complete the repairing and/or replacement of the Facility so that it shall be substantially the same as it was prior to such damage or destruction, such failure shall be an Event of Default by Owner. The Owner agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any Facility Mortgage shall include a provision permitting the Owner to use casualty insurance proceeds to complete the repairing and/or replacement of the Facility so that it shall be substantially the same as it was prior to the damage or destruction. If (i) the Owner is unable to obtain such entitlements and/or other approvals of a Governmental Authority as may be necessary to undertake such repair and/or replacement after Owner’s prompt and good faith efforts to obtain such entitlements and/or approvals, or (ii) the amount of the insurance deductibles and other uninsured out of pocket expenses of Owner in connection with the repair and/or replacement of the Facility pursuant to this subsection (b) are in the aggregate higher than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Cost Limit”) with respect to a particular casualty as shown by good faith estimates

 

 

- 35 -


delivered to the Manager and Owner does not wish to pay for the amounts above the Cost Limit, then either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party. Such notice must be sent within thirty (30) days after the date of the Major Casualty.

12.05. Condemnation. The following provisions shall apply in the event all or a portion of the Facility is taken in any eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, subject to the requirements of any Facility Mortgage as to which Owner has complied with the terms of Section 4.03(n).

(a) In the event all or substantially all of the Facility shall be taken in any eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or in the event a portion of the Facility shall be so taken, but the result is that it is unreasonable to continue to operate the Facility in accordance with the standards required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate effective as of the date of such taking or similar proceeding. Owner and Manager shall each have the right to initiate such proceedings as they deem advisable to recover any damages to which they may be entitled.

(b) In the event a portion of the Facility shall be taken by the events described in Section 12.05(a), or the entire Facility is affected but on a temporary basis, and the result is not to make it unreasonable to continue to operate the Facility, this Agreement shall not terminate. However, so much of any award for any such partial taking or condemnation as shall be necessary to render the Facility equivalent to its condition prior to such event shall be used by Owner for such purpose; and Manager shall have the right to discontinue operating the Facility or portion of the Facility to the extent it deems necessary for the safe and orderly operation of the Facility.

(c) Provided that Manager is not an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, in the event of any proceedings described in Section 12.05(a) or 12.05(b), and if Owner and Manager cannot agree on a fair and equitable apportionment of any such award, the dispute shall be submitted by either party to arbitration pursuant to Section 18.17 (it being acknowledged that if Manager is an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, such dispute will be resolved subject to and in accordance with the JV Agreement).

12.06. Licensure Issues.

(a) The expiration, withdrawal or revocation of any license which is material to the operation of the Facility in accordance with Manager’s Standards, where such expiration, withdrawal or revocation: (1) is not due to either an Event of Default by Manager or an Event of Default by Owner; and (2) is not otherwise within the reasonable control of either Manager or Owner, shall not be either an Event of Default by Manager or an Event of Default by Owner under Article XIV of this Agreement. Manager and Owner shall each, in good faith, use all commercially reasonable efforts (including the diligent pursuit of all available appeals), during the period of one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such withdrawal or revocation, to have such License reinstated. If, notwithstanding such efforts, such license is not reinstated prior

 

 

- 36 -


to the expiration of the aforesaid period of one hundred twenty (120) days, either Owner or Manager shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement upon no less than thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party; provided, however, that the terminating party must deliver such notice of termination to the other party by no later than ninety (90) days after the expiration of such one hundred twenty (120) day period; and provided further, that no such termination shall be effective if, prior to the effective date of such termination, such License is reinstated or such expiration, withdrawal or revocation of such License is stayed.

(b) If an order, judgment or directive by a court or administrative body is issued in connection with any litigation involving Owner, which restricts or prevents Manager, in a material adverse manner, from operating the Facility in accordance with Manager’s Standards, Manager shall be entitled, at its option, to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ notice. If Owner and Manager disagree whether the order, judgment or directive of the court or administrative body prevents Manager, in a material adverse manner, from operating the Facility in accordance with Manager’s Standards, the parties will submit the matter to arbitration for determination in accordance with the provisions of Section 18.17 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

13.01. General Termination; Termination by Parties.

(a) This Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Term. Manager shall be compensated for its services through the date of termination, but shall not be entitled to any Termination Fee upon the natural expiration of the Term.

(b) Manager may terminate this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 14.05 and in addition to any other rights expressly set forth in this Agreement, if there is an Event of Default by Owner and may be entitled to a Termination Fee.

(c) Owner may terminate this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 14.04, and in addition to any other rights expressly set forth in this Agreement, if there is an Event of Default by Manager, in which event a Termination Fee shall not be owed to Manager provided that such Event of Default was not caused by a prior Event of Default by Owner. In the event Manager asserts that the Event of Default was caused by a prior Event of Default by Owner, the parties will attempt to resolve in good faith the objections so specified by Manager for a period of thirty (30) days. In the event the parties have not resolved Manager’s objections as of the end of such thirty (30) day period, any such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant Section 18.17 of this Agreement.

13.02. Transition upon Termination. The following provisions shall apply in the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement:

(a) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter Manager agrees to reasonably cooperate in transferring operational control of the Facility to Owner or a successor manager. Such cooperation shall include but not be limited to:

(1) the transfer of computer data in non-proprietary machine readable format and the transfer of any documents housed in Manager’s corporate headquarters relating to the Facility (or copies of such documents if Manager is required by law to maintain the originals);

 

 

- 37 -


(2) the removal or covering of all signage on the Facility bearing the Sunrise name or trademark within thirty (30) days of such termination, it being agreed that Manager shall use reasonable care during any such removal and shall, at Manager’s sole cost and expense, repair any damage to the Facility caused by such removal;

(3) within One Hundred Twenty (120) days after the last day of the month in which the effective date of termination occurs, the preparation of a final accounting of Facility operations in accordance with the requirements of the annual financial statements specified on Exhibit C-1, and the disbursement to Owner of funds held by Manager on behalf of Owner, including, without limitation, the FF&E Reserve; and

(4) the peaceful vacation and surrender of the Facility to Owner upon the effective date of termination, it being agreed that Manager shall leave the premises in a clean and orderly condition.

(b) Manager shall (to the extent permitted by law) assign to Owner or to the new manager all operating licenses and permits for the Facility which have been issued in Manager’s name; provided that if Manager has expended any of its own funds in the acquisition of any of such licenses or permits, Owner shall reimburse Manager therefor if it has not done so already. Additionally, so as to avoid any disruption or delay of any services or amenities at the Facility, if licenses or permits held in Manager’s name cannot be transferred or cannot be transferred immediately to Owner or the successor manager, Manager will continue to provide management services to Owner under an interim management arrangement with Owner or the successor manager, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Manager, but in any event no less favorable to Manager than this Agreement, until the completion of the assignment of licenses and permits, or the issuance of a replacement licenses or permits, or until the parties otherwise agree.

(c) After Manager shall have received all amounts due to Manager under this Agreement, Manager shall turn over, assign and transfer to Owner:

(1) All Facility assets, including all cash in Manager’s custody and control, whether segregated or commingled with the monies of Manager and/or other parties, which has been generated in connection with or arising from operations of the Facility;

(2) All coupons, instruments for the payment of money, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable or other contract rights or intangible personal property arising in connection with the operation of the Facility;

13.03. Repayment of Operating Deficit Loan upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, any and all amounts due to Manager under the OD Loan shall become immediately due and payable, whether such amounts are otherwise due and payable at such time and Manager shall have the right to offset any amounts outstanding under the OD Loan (including accrued but unpaid interest) against any amounts held by Manager on behalf of Owner as FF&E Reserve, Working Capital or Non-Routine Capital Expenditures.

ARTICLE XIV

14.02. Default by Owner. Owner shall be deemed to be in default (each, an “Event of Default by Owner”) under this Agreement (a) in the event Owner shall fail to keep, observe or perform any material covenant, agreement, term or provision of this Agreement to be kept, observed or performed by Owner, to the extent such default continues (1) for a period of ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof by Manager to Owner in the case of monetary defaults or (2) for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Manager to Owner in the case of non-monetary time defaults; provided, however, if such default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, then Owner shall be entitled to such additional time as is reasonable under the circumstances to cure such default, provided that Owner is capable of curing same, has proceeded to commence cure of such default within said period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion, (b) any of the events in Section 14.03 occurs with respect to Owner or (c) if Owner elects to close the Facility or substantial portion of the Facility for any reason other than a casualty or condemnation event if expressly permitted under this Agreement.

 

 

- 39 -


14.03. Insolvency Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default hereunder:

(a) Either party files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or a petition for reorganization under any bankruptcy law, or the admission of either party that it is unable to pay its debts as they become due; or

(b) Either party consents to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or fails to vacate, within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof, any order approving an involuntary petition by either party; or

14.06. No Waiver of Default. The failure of Owner or Manager to seek remedy for any violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any term or condition of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act by Owner or Manager which would have originally constituted a violation of this Agreement by Owner or Manager, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. Owner or Manager may waive any breach or threatened breach by Owner or Manager of any term or condition herein contained. The failure by Owner or Manager to insist upon the strict performance of any one of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right, remedy or election herein contained or permitted by law shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such term, condition, right, remedy or election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. All rights and remedies that Owner or Manager may have at law, in equity or otherwise for any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement, shall be distinct, separate and cumulative rights and remedies and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Owner or Manager, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other right or remedy of Owner or Manager.

- 40 -


Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withhold the amount of such fee from the FF&E Reserve, the Working Capital funds or any other funds of Owner held by or under the control of Manager. The “Termination Date” shall mean the date of termination of this Agreement specified in any notice of termination given by Manager pursuant to the exercise by Manager of any termination right hereunder.

14.08. Failure to Pay. Upon the failure of either party to make any payment required to be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as of the due date which is specified in this Agreement, and the continuance of such failure for five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof, the amount owed to the non-defaulting party shall accrue interest at a rate equal to (a) if CHT or an Affiliate or successor thereof (“CHT Partner”) holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, five percent (5%) plus the rate of return then payable to CHT Partner under Section 8.1 of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Parent (the “JV Agreement”) (or the highest interest permitted under applicable law if that is lower) or (b) if CHT Partner does not hold a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, eighteen percent (18%) (or the highest interest permitted under applicable law if that is lower, in each case from and after the date on which such payment was originally due to the non-defaulting party until such payment is made.

14.09. Manager’s Right to Specific Performance for Owner’s Wrongful Termination. Owner hereby acknowledges that (a) Manager has an interest in this Agreement beyond the fees Manager will earn pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, (b) the termination of this Agreement by Owner when Owner is not entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will be injurious to Manager’s business conducted beyond Owner’s Facility, and will damage Manager’s Proprietary Marks, (c) Manager’s Proprietary Marks are unique, Manager’s exclusive rights of possession under this Agreement are unique, the Facility is unique and Manager is entitled to an exclusive license to operate Manager’s business at the Facility and to promote Manager’s Proprietary Marks at the Facility, which license is irrevocable except pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement, (d) it would be impossible to calculate the damages that Manager would sustain if Owner terminated this Agreement when Owner is not entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and (e) the remedy of specific performance of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement is fair, equitable and practicable. Accordingly, Owner agrees that for as long as Manager is an Affiliate of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (X) Owner shall not breach this Agreement by terminating, or purporting to terminate, this Agreement when Owner has no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and (Y) Owner consents to the issuance by any court of competent jurisdiction of injunctive relief prohibiting Owner from terminating, or purporting to terminate, this Agreement or from evicting Manager from the Facility, and Owner consents to the award by a court of competent jurisdiction of specific performance of the obligations of Owner under this Agreement, without the requirement for posting of any bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Manager receives the Termination Fee (as set forth in Section 14.07 above), Manager waives any and all other rights to seek damages with respect to the termination of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to sue for specific performance.

15.01. Legal Actions. Manager shall have the right to institute or defend, in the name of Owner, any legal action affecting the Facility and take any actions, in the name of Owner, necessary to protest or litigate to a final decision in any appropriate court or forum, any violation, order, rule, or regulation affecting the Facility. Owner shall assist and cooperate with Manager in the defense or prosecution of any such action. All actions arising out of the operation of the Facility and not attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Manager, and any and all legal actions or proceedings to collect charges, third party payments, rents, or other incomes for Manager, Owner or the Facility (“Collection Proceedings”), or to lawfully evict or dispossess Residents or other Persons in possession thereunder, or to lawfully cancel, modify, or terminate any lease, license, or concession agreement in the event of breach or default thereof, or to defend any action brought against Owner, the Facility or Manager in connection with the Facility, shall be paid out of Gross Revenues and be treated as Facility Expenses.

ARTICLE XVI

REGULATORY AND CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS

16.01. Regulatory and Contractual Requirements.

(a) Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all things to be done in and about the Facility reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of any applicable Legal Requirement, or order of any Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental regulatory body or agency, or board of fire underwriters respecting the use of the Facility or the construction, maintenance, or operation thereof. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain all Federal, State and county permits and licenses needed for its management of a licensed assisted living and/or independent living (as applicable) facility providing personal care services in the State. Owner agrees upon request by Manager to sign promptly and without charge applications for licenses, permits or other instruments necessary for operation of the Facility in accordance with Legal Requirements and to provide such information and perform such acts relative to the ownership of the Facility as are required by law, regulation or practice of a Governmental Authority in order for Manager to obtain and/or maintain any license, permit, instrument, certificate, certification or approval with respect to the operation of the Facility in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Manager shall keep its corporate organization in good standing in the State and shall maintain all corporate permits and licenses required by the State.

(b) The parties understand and agree that certain deficiencies or situations of non-compliance with various Legal Requirements (such as building codes, OSHA, ADA, health care regulations and the like) are likely to occur from time to time in the normal course of business operations. Such occurrences will not constitute a breach or Event of Default by Manager hereunder, provided that, (a) they are not materially beyond the general experience of similar facility operations located in the State in terms of scope, seriousness, or frequency, and (b) Manager takes all reasonable actions in a timely manner to cure such deficiencies or situations of non-compliance. The costs (including fines for non-compliance) of curing such

 

 

- 43 -


deficiencies or circumstances of non-compliance (collectively, “Non-Compliance Costs”) shall constitute Facility Expenses unless incurred by reason of Manager’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Any Non-Compliance Costs resulting from Manager’s willful misconduct or gross negligence shall be paid by Manager from its own funds and not as a Facility Expense. So long as Manager is not an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect an ownership interest in Owner, then in the event that Manager and Owner disagree as to whether a Non-Compliance Cost is appropriate for reimbursement as a Facility Expense, the disagreement will be resolved exclusively by arbitration pursuant to Section 18.17 and either party may initiate such arbitration (it being acknowledged that if Manager is an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, such dispute will be resolved subject to and in accordance with the JV Agreement).

16.02. Equal Employment Opportunity. Without limitation of any provision set forth herein, Owner and Manager expressly agree to abide by any and all applicable Federal and/or State equal employment opportunity statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the National Labor Relations Act, the Fair Labor Standard Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1983, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, all as may be from time to time modified or amended.

16.03. Equal Housing Opportunity. Without limitation of any provision set forth herein, Owner and Manager expressly agree to abide by any and all applicable Federal and/or State equal housing opportunity statutes, rules and regulations, all as may be from time to time modified or amended.

ARTICLE XVII

PROPRIETARY MARKS; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

17.01. Proprietary Marks. During the Term of this Agreement, the Facility may be known as a “Sunrise” Facility, with such additional identification as may be necessary and agreed to by Owner and Manager to provide local identification. If the name of Manager’s System is changed, Manager shall have the right (with Owner’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) to change the name of the Facility to conform thereto.

17.02. Ownership of Proprietary Marks. The Proprietary Marks shall in all events remain the exclusive property of Manager, and nothing contained herein shall confer on Owner the right to use the Proprietary Marks. Upon termination of this Agreement, any use of or right to use the Proprietary Marks by Owner shall cease forthwith and Owner shall promptly remove, at Manager’s expense, from the Facility any signs or similar items that contain the Proprietary Marks. If Owner has not removed such signs or similar items promptly upon termination, Manager shall have the right to remain at the Facility as long as is necessary for Owner to do so. The right to use such Proprietary Marks belongs exclusively to Manager, and the use thereof inures to the benefit of Manager whether or not the same are registered and regardless of the source of the same.

17.03. Intellectual Property. All Intellectual Property shall at all times be proprietary to Manager or its Affiliates, and shall be the exclusive property of Manager or its Affiliates. During the Term of this Agreement, Manager shall be entitled to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Intellectual Property remains confidential. Upon termination, all Intellectual Property shall be removed from the Facility by Manager, without compensation to Owner.

 

 

- 44 -


17.04. Trademark License. Manager hereby grants to Owner a non-exclusive right and license (“Trademark License”) to use “Sunrise” solely as part of the name of the Facility. Owner shall not be permitted to use “Sunrise” in connection with the identification or operation of any other business or property, or at any other location, except as may otherwise be provided in other agreements between Owner and Manager (or one of its Affiliates). Owner acknowledges and agrees that Manager (or one of its Affiliates) is the owner of all right, title, and interest in and to “Sunrise” and the goodwill associated with and symbolized by that mark. Owner’s use of “Sunrise” and its derivatives pursuant to this Trademark License shall not give Owner any ownership, apart from this Trademark License, to “Sunrise,” and that all goodwill arising from Owner’s use of “Sunrise” shall inure solely to Manager’s benefit. This Trademark License shall immediately terminate upon termination or expiration of this Agreement.

17.05. Breach of Covenant. Manager and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled, in case of any breach of the covenants of this Article XVII by Owner or others claiming through it, to injunctive relief and to any other right or remedy available at law. Article XVII shall survive termination.

ARTICLE XVIII

Manager shall notify Owner or Parent or its Affiliate, as applicable, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Sale Notice with respect to a Controlling Interest Sale or Facility Sale, as applicable, of its desire to continue to operate the Facility under the then current Management Agreement (the “Continuation Notice”).

(d) Manager’s Right of First Offer. If Owner intends to enter into a Facility Sale or Parent or its Affiliate intends to enter into a Controlling Interest Sale with any Person (including an Affiliate of Owner or Parent) and no Person with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner is then an Affiliate of Manager, then Owner shall provide notice to Manager and Manager shall have a right of first offer to purchase the Facility upon the terms set forth below.

(1) Owner shall provide Manager with written notice (within the Sale Notice or otherwise) of its intent to enter into the Facility Sale or Parent’s or its Affiliate’s intent to enter into a Controlling Interest Sale, and Manager shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such notice to deliver a written offer to Owner and Parent or its Affiliates (the “Purchase Notice”) with the price offered by Manager for the purchase of the Facility (“Offered Purchase Price”). Owner or Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall respond to Manager within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Purchase Notice whether or not it accepts the Offered Purchase Price (the “Response”). If the Owner or Parent or its Affiliate, as applicable, accepts the Offered Purchase Price within the five (5) Business Days’ period, then Manager shall deliver to Owner and Parent or its Affiliate within ten (10) Business Days after the Response is received, a proposed draft purchase agreement, and will deposit with the Escrow Agent in cash an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the Offered Purchase Price, or (ii) $500,000 (the “Downpayment”) within three (3) Business Days after execution of the purchase agreement. If Owner fails to deliver the Response within the five (5) Business Days’ period, Owner shall be deemed to have accepted the Offered Purchase Price. If the Response specifies that Owner or Parent or its Affiliate, as applicable, does not accept the Offered Purchase Price, then Owner shall have the right to market the Facility, but shall continue to be bound by the provisions of subsection 18(d)(4) below.

(2) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Downpayment in an interest bearing account pursuant to a written agreement among Owner, Manager and the Escrow Agent, which agreement shall be satisfactory to such parties in the exercise of their respective reasonable discretion and shall provide, among other things, that the Escrow Agent shall not commingle the Downpayment with any other funds. In the event of a closing of a Facility Sale to Manager pursuant to the terms of this Section 18.12(d), the Downpayment, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be credited against the Offered Purchase Price. If Manager shall fail to purchase the Facility in compliance with its obligations under this Section 18.12(d), the Purchase Notice shall be deemed revoked and the Downpayment, and any interest thereon, shall be paid to Owner by the Escrow Agent promptly following written request therefor as Owner’s sole and exclusive remedy and Section 18.12(d) shall apply. If the purchase agreement is terminated by Manager in accordance with any allowable periods for termination as set forth in the purchase agreement, then the Downpayment shall be returned to Manager and the Purchase Notice shall thereafter be deemed revoked, with no liability to Manager therefor and Section

 

 

- 51 -


18.12(b)(3) shall apply. If Owner shall default in any of its obligations under this Section 18.12(d), the Downpayment, and any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Manager promptly following written request therefor, and Manager may pursue an action for specific performance or any other remedy available to it by law. Upon acceptance or deemed acceptance of the Offered Purchase Price by Owner as aforesaid, (i) a binding contract shall be deemed to exist between Owner and Manager with respect to the purchase and sale of the Facility, and (ii) Manager and Owner shall use good faith efforts to negotiate a definitive agreement for the closing of the purchase and sale to be held at the principal place of business of Manager (or as otherwise may be agreed to by the parties) on a Business Day selected by Manager not less than thirty (30) days and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days from Owner’s receipt of the Purchase Notice. Manager shall pay the Offered Purchase Price (less the Downpayment and any interest earned thereon) by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account (or account(s)) designated in writing by Owner. Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses in connection with the conveyance of the Facility to Manager pursuant to this Section 18.12(d). Any transfer, deed, documentary, stamp or similar tax due in connection with a sale of the Facility pursuant to this Section 18.12(d) shall be shared equally by Manager and Owner. If the Manager and the Owner are unable to negotiate a definitive agreement for the closing of the purchase and sale of the Facility as set forth in this paragraph, then the dispute will be resolved exclusively by arbitration pursuant to Section 18.17 of this Agreement. Either party may initiate such arbitration.

(3) If (x) Manager does not timely deliver a Purchase Notice or (y) the Manager states in its Purchase Notice that it does not exercise its option purchase the Facility, or (z) Manager’s Purchase Notice is deemed to have been revoked in accordance with Section 18.12(d)(2) or if Owner or Parent or its Affiliate rejects Manager’s Offered Purchase Price within the applicable time period, Owner or Parent or its Affiliate are authorized for three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the deadline for receipt of such Purchase Notice to accept any offer for the purchase of the Facility or a Controlling Interest without further offer to the Manager which complies with the specifications set forth in items (i) and (ii) below (a “Sale Offer”), provided that any Facility Sale or Controlling Interest Sale, as applicable, shall remain subject to the provisions of Section 18.12(a).

(i) The Sale Offer must be an all cash offer for the purchase of the Facility or the Controlling Interest, as applicable, in an amount not less than 105% of the Offered Purchase Price; and

(ii) The Sale Offer must provide for the closing of the purchase of the Facility or the Controlling Interest, as applicable, not sooner than thirty (30) days nor later than three hundred sixty-five (365) days after (A) if Manager failed to deliver a Purchase Notice, the date which is thirty (30) days after receipt of the Sale Notice by Manager, (B) if Manager delivered a Purchase Notice and same was deemed to have been revoked, the date of the deemed revocation of the Purchase Notice or (C) if Manager delivered the Purchase Notice but the Offered Purchase Price was rejected in the Response, the date the Response was received by Manager.

 

 

- 52 -


(4) If Owner or Parent or its Affiliate fails to close the Facility Sale or the Controlling Interest Sale pursuant to the requirements of (as applicable) subsection 18.12(d)(3) or if the Sale Offer does not comply with the provisions of Section 18.12(d)(3)(i)-(ii), then any further Facility Sale or a Controlling Interest Sale shall be again subject to the provisions of this Section 18.12(d).

18.13. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement supersedes all prior drafts and discussions relating to this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes one (1) agreement and shall be construed and interpreted in light of all such other agreements between the parties including, but not limited to, the Manager Pooling Agreement. All prior representations or agreements not expressly incorporated herein, whether written or verbal, are superseded, and no changes in or additions to this Agreement shall be recognized unless and until made in writing and signed by both parties hereto.

18.14. Relationship Between the Parties. The relationship between Owner and Manager pursuant to this Agreement shall not be one of general agency, but shall be that of Owner with Manager being an independent contractor; provided, however, that Manager shall have the authority to bind the Owner with respect to third parties to the extent Manager is performing its obligations under this Agreement or as otherwise authorized by Owner. Neither this Agreement nor any agreements, instruments, documents or transactions contemplated hereby shall in any respect be interpreted, deemed or construed as making Owner a partner or joint venturer with Manager or as creating any similar relationship or entity, and each party agrees that it will not make any contrary assertion, contention, claim or counterclaim in any action, suit or other legal proceeding involving the other. Owner hereby grants an irrevocable power of attorney to the Manager to act on behalf of Owner vis-a-vis third parties as necessary in connection with the performance of Manager’s obligations under this Agreement.

18.15. Force Majeure. As used in this Agreement, the term “Force Majeure” shall mean any failure to perform an obligation under this Agreement when the party so obligated is prevented from so performing by (i) Acts of God, (ii) strike, lockouts, actions of labor unions or other labor trouble, (iii) sabotage, (iv) fire or casualty, (v) order or regulation of or by any Governmental Authority (other than orders or regulations of a Governmental Authority resulting from the obligated party’s non-compliance with typical and ordinary health, licensing and construction laws, rules or regulations), (vi) acts or omissions of any Governmental Authority (including delays in obtaining any required licenses, permits or approvals, provided such permits were timely and accurately submitted to the applicable Governmental Authority), (vii) war (declared or undeclared), acts of terrorism, riot, acts of the public enemy or other civil commotion, (vii) rebellions, riots, insurrections or sabotage, (ix) shortage of labor, materials or supplies; provided, however, that the lack of financial resources or a failure to comply with existing laws shall never be excused.

18.16. Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreements.

(a) At such time that Manager receives from Mortgagee an executed and recordable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a form acceptable to Manager in its sole discretion, this Agreement and any extensions, renewals, replacements or modifications thereto, and all rights and interests of Manager in the Facility, shall be subject and subordinate to any Facility Mortgage.

 

 

- 53 -


(b) If the loan documents secured by the Facility Mortgage, or any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed by Manager contains provisions requiring Manager (upon default under the Facility Mortgage, or upon various other stipulated conditions) to pay certain amounts which are otherwise due to Owner under this Agreement (after the payment of Facility Expenses) to the Mortgagee or its designee (rather than to Owner), Owner hereby gives its consent to such provisions, which consent shall be deemed to be irrevocable until the entire debt secured by the Facility Mortgage has been discharged.

18.17. Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute, disagreement, or controversy arising out of this Agreement for which arbitration in accordance with this Section 18.17 is expressly provided shall be resolved by arbitration (the “Arbitration Proceeding”) administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Expedited Procedures, in effect at the time of the demand for arbitration, provided, however that to the extent any provision of this Section modifies, adds to, or is inconsistent with any provisions of those rules and procedures, the provisions of this Section shall control. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator in Washington, D.C., Alexandria, VA, McLean, VA, Bethesda, MD or Orlando, FL (the “Venue”). The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the party which did not initiate the Arbitration Proceeding shall have the right to elect the Venue in its sole discretion, which shall be binding on both parties. The choice of law provisions set forth in Section 18.21 shall apply in any such Arbitration Proceeding. Any dispute, disagreement, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement for which arbitration is not expressly provided as the means of resolution may be resolved by litigation as provided in Section 18.21 or by other lawful means. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as the JV Agreement is in effect and Manager is an Affiliate of a Person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner, any dispute, disagreement or controversy arising out of this Agreement which also constitutes a dispute as to a Major Decision (as defined in the JV Agreement) under the JV Agreement shall not be submitted to an Arbitration Proceeding hereunder, but rather shall be resolved pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the JV Agreement, and Manager and Owner agree that such resolution shall be binding.

(b) The party desiring arbitration shall provide written notice to the other party (the “Arbitration Notice”) indicating (1) the matter in controversy and (2) the name, contact information and professional resume of the proposed arbitrator meeting the requirements for a qualified and independent arbitrator set forth in Section 18.17(c) (“Initial Arbitrator”) to arbitrate such matter in controversy. If the party receiving the Arbitration Notice rejects the Initial Arbitrator set forth in the Arbitration Notice it shall object in writing (“Objection Notice”) delivered to the other party within seven (7) Business Days of the receipt of the Arbitration Notice. The Objection Notice shall contain the name, contact information and professional resume of a different arbitrator meeting the requirements for a qualified and independent arbitrator set forth in Section 18.17(c) (“Secondary Arbitrator”) to arbitrate the matter in controversy set forth in the Arbitration Notice. If the party receiving the Objection Notice rejects

 

 

- 54 -


the Secondary Arbitrator, it shall object in writing (“Secondary Objection Notice”) to the other party within seven (7) Business Days after the receipt of the Objection Notice. If neither the Initial Arbitrator nor the Secondary Arbitrator is accepted by the parties, the party which delivered the Arbitration Notice shall instruct the Initial Arbitrator and the Secondary Arbitrator to agree, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Secondary Objection Notice, upon an arbitrator (“Appointed Arbitrator”) meeting the requirements for a qualified and independent arbitrator set forth in Section 18.17(c). If they agree upon an Appointed Arbitrator who is prepared to act as the Appointed Arbitrator, the Initial Arbitrator and Secondary Arbitrator shall deliver written notice of the name, contact information and professional resume of the Appointed Arbitrator to each party simultaneously. The appointment of the Appointed Arbitrator shall be a final decision, which shall not be subject to objection by either party, unless either party within five (5) Business Days after such selection of an Appointed Arbitrator, notifies the other party, in writing, that such Appointed Arbitrator fails to meet the requirements for a qualified and independent arbitrator set forth in Section 18.17(c) and provides specific information in such written notice as to the reasons why such failure exists.

(c) In the event the Initial Arbitrator and the Secondary Arbitrator cannot agree on an Appointed Arbitrator or if such appointed Arbitrator is unwilling to act as the Appointed Arbitrator or if either party objects to the Appointed Arbitrator within five (5) Business Days after the selection of such Appointed Arbitrator, as permitted in this Section 18.17, then either party may petition the AAA (or any successor body of similar function) to appoint an arbitrator within five (5) Business Days of such petition using the following criteria: such arbitrator shall be (1) with respect to physical property matters, a licensed professional engineer or registered architect having at least ten (10) years experience in the design or construction of similar senior housing facilities, (2) with respect to financial matters, a partner in a “Big Four Accounting Firm” with at least ten (10) years experience with the type of matter in dispute, (3) with respect to property management issues, an individual who shall have had at least ten (10) years experience managing similar senior housing facilities and (4) be neutral and shall have had no prior notice, information or discussions concerning such controversy and shall not be employed by or associated with either party or any Affiliate of either of them, or any of their respective agents or affiliates at such time or for the previous ten (10) years. If the dispute involves more than one type of matter, then the Appointed Arbitrator may be (X) an individual with expertise in any one of the types of matters in dispute, or (Y) a retired judge.

(d) The Arbitration Proceedings shall commence fifteen (15) Business Days after the engagement or appointment of the appropriate arbitrator pursuant to this Section 18.17. The arbitrator shall make a determination within ten (10) Business Days after conclusion of the Arbitration Proceeding.

(e) The costs and expenses of an Arbitration Proceeding including administrative fees and costs, expert fees and the arbitrator’s fees and cost, shall be shared equally by Owner and Manager, and each party shall bear its own counsel, expert, administrative fees and other professional fees and expenses with respect to such Arbitration Proceeding; provided, however, that the Appointed Arbitrator may (but shall not be required to), in the exercise of his/her best judgment, assess one party for a part or all of the costs of the other party, including the costs of the Arbitration Proceeding.

 

 

- 55 -


(f) Any arbitrator’s final decision and award shall be in writing and delivered by the parties in an expedited manner, shall be binding on the parties and shall be non-appealable, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to both parties. A judgment or award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. All actions necessary to implement the decision of the arbitrator shall be undertaken as soon as possible, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the rendering of such decision.

18.18. Cooperation. Should any claim, demand, suit or other legal proceeding be made or instituted by either party which arises out of any of the matters relating to this Agreement, each party shall give the other all non-privileged and pertinent information possessed by or under the control of such party and reasonable assistance in the defense or other disposition thereof. In addition, in each instance where Manager’s performance under this Agreement is dependant on receiving the cooperation of Owner, Owner shall promptly cooperate and provide Manager with such requested assistance.

18.19. Manager Pooling Agreement as Controlling Agreement. The Manager Pooling Agreement is intended to modify and amend this Agreement. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Manager Pooling Agreement, then the terms of the Manager Pooling Agreement shall supersede and control in all respects.

18.20. Costs of Dispute. In any legal action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, other than an Arbitration Proceeding, the successful or prevailing party or parties therein will be entitled to recover from the other party or parties reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, including those related to appeal of any such action. The recovery of attorney’s fees and costs will be in addition to any other relief to which the successful or prevailing party or parties may be entitled.

18.21. Governing Law; Litigation, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to conflict of laws principles.

(b) For the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement, the parties each hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia which courts shall have the exclusive jurisdiction over any such suit, action or proceeding commenced by any party. The parties consent to service of process, wherever made, by certified mail return receipt requested, personal service or any other method permitted by applicable law and the rules of the applicable court. In furtherance of such agreement, the parties agree, upon the request of any party, to discontinue (or agree to the discontinuance of) any such suit, action or proceeding pending in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection that either party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any federal or state court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

 

- 56 -


(d) If for any reason, the state and federal courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia refuse to exercise jurisdiction over the proceeding or any party, then litigation as permitted herein may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America.

(e) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON, UNDER OR BY VIRTUE OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, THE FACILITY, OR ANY CLAIMS, DEFENSES, RIGHTS OF SET-OFF OR OTHER ACTIONS PERTAINING HERETO OR TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.

18.22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

18.23. Contracting with Affiliates. Manager shall be entitled to contract with companies that are Affiliates (or companies in which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is not sufficient to make such company an Affiliate) to provide goods and/or services to the Facility; provided that the prices and/or terms for such goods and/or services are at a fair market price. Additionally, Manager may contract for the purchase of goods and services for the Facility with third parties that have other contractual relationships with Manager and its Affiliates, so long as the prices and terms are at a fair market price. Manager shall fully disclose to Owner any material interest of Manager and/or its Affiliate in any vendor and Manager shall establish to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction that any such purchase contracts were made at fair market prices. In determining, pursuant to the foregoing, whether such prices and/or terms are at a fair market price, they will be compared to the prices and/or terms which would be available from reputable and qualified parties for goods and/or services of similar quality, and the goods and/or services which are being purchased shall be grouped in reasonable categories, rather than being compared item by item. Any dispute as to whether prices and/or terms are at a fair market price shall be referred to arbitration pursuant to Section 18.17. The price paid may include overhead and the allowance of a reasonable return to Manager and its Affiliates (or companies in which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is not sufficient to make such company an Affiliate).

18.24. Parent Subordination. Parent and Owner acknowledge and agree that payment of any fees or other amounts, including the Termination Fee, payable to Manager under this Agreement or the Manager Pooling Agreement (the “Manager Receivables”) shall be senior to the payment of any distributions or other payments to Parent (including, without limitation, reimbursement payments to Parent for Parent’s satisfaction of any Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty)) and Parent hereby subordinates its right to receive any distributions or other payments from Owner to Manager’s right to the Manager Receivables.

 

 

- 57 -


18.25. Facility Name. Owner and Parent hereby agree that during the term of the Management Agreement, Manager shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to publicly designate the Facility governed thereunder a “Sunrise” community, with such additional identification to provide local identification.

18.26. Parent and Owner Consents. Manager shall be entitled to rely fully and act upon all approvals, consents, authorizations and elections made by Owner under this Agreement, without any obligation whatsoever to make inquiry of Parent or seek confirmation that Parent has provided its authorization, or approval, written or otherwise, to such Owner action and Manager shall not be required to grant any additional time for Parent to instruct Owner with respect to such matters.

18.27. REIT Compliance.

(a) Manager shall provide Owner written notice any time Manager or any of its Affiliates acquires any of the shares of CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc., or CNL Healthcare Trust, Inc. (each, a “REIT”), and in any event neither Manager nor any of Manager’s Affiliates shall own, at any time during the Term, more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the shares of either REIT.

(b) Manager shall at all times qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” as defined in Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event that Owner reasonably concludes that the terms of this Agreement will have an effect as to cause rent under Owner’s lease of the Facility to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, Manager hereby agrees to enter into an amendment to this Agreement as proposed by Owner modifying such terms in such a way as to cause rent under Owner’s lease of the Facility to so qualify as “rents from real property” in the reasonable opinion of Owner and its counsel, provided, however, no such modifications shall affect the amount of management fees or the practical realization of the rights and benefits of the Manager hereunder.

E-2


Article III Financial Responsibility

Section 3.01 For those lines of coverage to which a policy deductible or self-insured retention applies, each Facility will be responsible for the cost of a portion of the deductible or self-insured retention based on the projected ultimate loss estimate. The projected ultimate loss estimate will be derived using a third party actuarial analysis of Manager’s loss experience and other external factors, including but not limited to, inflation and increased litigation.

Within the projected ultimate loss estimate, each Facility will be responsible for a deductible of up to $25,000 per occurrence or the amount of the per occurrence deductible or self-insured retention under the insurance policy, if less (the “Facility deductible”). Manager reserves the right to adjust the Facility deductible by line of insurance coverage for certain high-risk jurisdictions. Such Facility deductible will be paid as a Facility expense as the Manager pays losses for the occurrence, up to the Facility deductible limit.

Section 3.02 In the event that any of the required insurance placements are provided on a claims made basis, the Manager will provide an extended reporting period coverage or “tail”, reasonably available in the commercial insurance market for each such coverage or coverages, but in no event less than two years after the expiration of such coverage. The cost of such tail coverage will be treated as a Facility Expense.

Section 3.03 Upon Termination or sale of Facility by Owner, an escrow fund in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Manager shall be established from the proceeds of Gross Revenues (or, if such Gross Revenues are not sufficient, with funds provided by the Owner) to cover the amount of any Facility deductible and all other cost and expense which shall eventually have to be paid by either the Owner or Manager with respect to pending or contingent claims, including those that arise after Termination from causes arising during the Term of this Agreement. Upon the final disposition of all such pending or contingent claims, any unexpected funds remaining in such escrow shall be paid to Owner. Operating Profit for the final Fiscal Year shall be recalculated as a result of any claims paid and Manager and Owner shall each pay to the other such amounts as may be required as a result of such adjustment.
