(a)Interest Rate.  Each Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to: (i) ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Initial Rate”)from and after the Closing Date until the date that is three (3) months thereafter and (ii) twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) per annum (the “Ongoing Rate”) from and after the date that is three (3) months after the Closing Date (the applicable interest rate pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) being referred to hereinafter as the “Interest Rate”); provided, however, that, in the event (x) of any denial of payment for new admissions with respect to any Healthcare Facility (as a result of Medicare or Medicaid survey deficiencies or state monitoring or for any other reason) or (y) any Governmental Authority ceases to permit new residents or tenants to be admitted to any Healthcare Facility, the Interest Rate shall be increased by one percent (1%) per annum commencing thirty (30) days after receipt of notice by any Credit Party from Lender, any Governmental Authority or any Operator if a plan of correction has not been filed with the applicable Governmental Authority and shall be increased by an additional one percent (1%) per annum each month thereafter until a plan of correction has been filed with the applicable Governmental Authority.  One (1) day after the date that payments have been reinstated and admissions are permitted, the Interest Rate shall revert to the Interest Rate provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.2(a), as applicable.  The provisions of this Section 2.2(a) shall not derogate the Credit Parties obligation to file a plan of correction pursuant to Section 7.11(j).  Interest on the Loans shall be paid in arrears on the first (1st) day of each month and on the maturity of the Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

(b)Default Rate.

(i)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the per annum effective rate of interest applicable to all Loans shall be increased to the Default Rate.  All such increases may be applied retroactively to the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default.  Each Borrower agrees that the Default Rate payable to Lender is a reasonable estimate of the Lender’s damages and is not a penalty.  Each Borrower also acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing its Loan, that, during the time that any monthly installment or payment under this Note is delinquent, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine any such additional costs and expenses; and (ii) during the time that any monthly installment or other payment due under such Borrower’s Note is delinquent, Lender’s risk of nonpayment of such Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Each Borrower further agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under its Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate (taking into account all circumstances existing on the date hereof) of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

(ii)All contractual rates of interest chargeable on outstanding Principal under each Loan shall continue to accrue and be paid even after Default, an Event of Default, maturity, acceleration, judgment, bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence similar or dissimilar.

(c)Computation of Interest and Related Fees.  All computations of interest and fees under the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, as the case may be, and calculated for actual days elapsed.  The date of funding of each Loan shall be included in the calculation of interest while the date of payment of each Loan shall be excluded from the calculation of interest.

(d)Payments Generally.  All payments to be made by any Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Borrower hereunder shall be made in Dollars immediately available to Lender, on behalf of Lender, by 11:00 a.m. on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrowers.  All payments received by Lender after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(e)Intentionally Omitted.

(f)Taxes.  Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded Taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2(f) as “Applicable Taxes”).  If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the following shall apply:  (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2(f), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.  Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2(f) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.  After prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application of any Taxes or other charges, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes or such other charges, (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which such Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (iv) no part of or interest in the Property will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (v) such Borrower shall have furnished such

security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or other charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon, which shall not be less than 125% of the Taxes and other charges being contested, and (vi) such Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of such Taxes or other charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties.  Lender may pay over any such security or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established.

2.3Loan Repayment. Each Borrower shall repay Principal of and interest on its Loan under this Agreement as follows:

(a)beginning on March 1, 2018 (the “First Payment Date”) and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter (each such date, including the First Payment Date, a “Payment Date”), all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Principal balance of such Loan calculated at the Interest Rate; and

(b)on the Scheduled Maturity Date, the entire outstanding Principal balance of each Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest, the Finance Fee and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents.

2.4Application of Proceeds. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment of any Loan, including any prepayments of such Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority:  First, to the Prepayment Premium, the Finance Fee and any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents (including Expenses) with respect to such Loan; Second, accrued and unpaid interest on such Loan at the Interest Rate or Default Rate, if applicable; and Third, to the Principal amount of such Loan.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all payments received by Lender upon the Loans and the other Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied as set forth in Section 11.3.

2.5Optional Prepayment. From and after the date that is thirteen (13) months after the Closing Date, any Borrower, at its option, may prepay its Loan in full at any time upon at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to Lender, provided that on the date of such prepayment, there shall be due and payable (i) accrued interest on the Principal so prepaid to the date of the next Payment Date, (ii) the Finance Fee and (iii) with respect to any prepayment made on any date during the six (6) month period commencing on March 15, 2019 through and including September 15, 2019, the Prepayment Premium.  All Prepayment Premiums hereunder shall be deemed to be earned by Lender upon the funding of the Loans.

2.10Fees.

(a)Commitment Fee.  At Closing, each Borrower shall unconditionally pay to Lender, and Lender shall have fully earned, a non-refundable commitment fee (which at the election of Lender in its sole discretion, may take the form of original issue discount) equal to three percent (3%) of the original Principal amount of such Borrower’s Loan (the “Commitment Fee”).

(b)Finance Fee.  Each Borrower shall pay to Lender on the earliest of (i) the Scheduled Maturity Date, (ii) the date of payment in full of such Borrower’s Loan or (iii) the date of acceleration of the maturity of such Loan (expressly including acceleration as a result of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.1(f)), a nonrefundable finance fee equal to three percent (3%) of the original Principal amount of such Borrower’s Loan (the “Finance Fee”).

(c)Late Payment Charge.  Unless waived by Lender in writing, if any principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by any Borrower on the date on which it is due, such Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

(d)Prepayment Premium.  Upon any repayment or prepayment by any Borrower of any principal of its Loan, including in connection with an acceleration of such Loan (expressly including acceleration as a result of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.1(f)), before the Scheduled Maturity Date, such Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date of such repayment or prepayment the Prepayment Premium applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.5, except if a prepayment is the result of a Casualty or Condemnation.

ARTICLE VI.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Credit Party represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 6 with reference to a specific Section of this Article 6:

6.1Organization. Each RHP Party has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact business in every state in which it is now engaged.  Each RHP Party is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations.  

6.2Authorization; Enforceability. Each Credit Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents executed and delivered by it.  The Loan Documents to which each Credit Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity.  The Loan Documents are not subject to, and no Credit Party has asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.  No exercise of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Documents, or any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document unenforceable.

6.3No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Credit Parties and the transactions contemplated thereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the properties and assets of any Credit Party pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which any Credit Party is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Credit Party or any of its properties.  Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

6.4Litigation.

33

99305209_1

---

 

6.5No Defaults. As of the Closing Date, after taking into account the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no Default or Event of Default exists.  No RHP Party is in default, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default, under any Material Contract or in the payment of any Permitted Indebtedness.  There is no basis upon which any party (other than a RHP Party) could terminate a Material Contract prior to its scheduled termination date. No RHP Party is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Material Agreement.

6.6Restrictive Agreement. No RHP Party is a party to any Restrictive Agreement (other than a Restrictive Agreement entered into in connection with a purchase or lease or the financing (including any HUD-insured financing) of fixed or capital assets, including real property, that prohibits Liens on such fixed or capital assets, including real property) or any other agreement or instrument, or subject to any restriction, which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any RHP Party, the Collateral or any Healthcare Facility, or any RHP Party’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.

6.7Title. Each Mortgagor has good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to its Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances.  Each Mortgage when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected First Priority Lien on the applicable Mortgagor’s interest in the applicable Real Property and (ii) valid and perfected First Priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all applicable Leases (including Operating Leases), Rents and Personalty, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances.  All mortgage, recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by such Mortgagor or any other Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been paid.  The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely affect the value, operation or use of any Property, or any Mortgagor’s ability to repay its Loan.  No condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to any Mortgagor’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of such Mortgagor’s Real Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any of such Real Property.  There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting any of the Real Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of a Real Property.  The plat of survey for each Real Property delivered to Lender do not fail to reflect any material matter affecting such Real Property or the title thereto.  All of the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of any Real Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Real Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon any Real Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon any Real Property encroaches upon any of the improvements, except those insured against by the applicable Title Insurance Policy.  Each parcel comprising a Real Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of such Real Property.  There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Real Property, or any contemplated improvements to any Real Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

6.9Solvency. Each Credit Party is Solvent.

6.10Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by any Credit Party in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading.  There is no material fact presently known to any Credit Party that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as any Credit Party can foresee, might adversely affect, the Healthcare Facilities or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any RHP Party.  All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of each RHP Party and the Healthcare Facilities (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately  and fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the RHP Parties and the Healthcare Facilities as of the dates stated therein, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed.  No RHP Party has any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement.  Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of any RHP Party or the Healthcare Facilities from that set forth in said financial statements.  Each Credit Party has disclosed to Lender all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any RHP Party is subject, and all other matters known to any of the Credit Parties, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

6.11Tax Filings. To the extent required, each RHP Party has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by such RHP Party.  Each RHP Party believes that its tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of such RHP Party for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.

Each RHP Party is in compliance with the requirements of all Applicable Laws and all Governmental Authorizations applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Applicable Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Contracts. There are no service, maintenance, repair or property management contracts affecting any Property that are not terminable on one month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium, unless approved by Lender in writing.  All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting any Property have been entered into an arms-length in the ordinary course of the applicable Mortgagor’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.

6.15Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Laws or any Loan Document.  No RHP Party is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (iii) subject to any other Laws which purport to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

6.16Easements; Utilities and Public Access. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of any Real Property for its intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the applicable Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder.  Each Real Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses.  All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Real Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting such Real Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve such Real Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement.  All roads necessary for the use of each Real Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

6.17Physical Condition. To the knowledge of each Credit Party, each Property, including all improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and other Personalty and landscaping, is in good condition, order and repair in all material respects, and there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to such Property, whether latent or otherwise.  No Mortgagor has received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in its Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond.  No portion of any Real Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards.  The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.

6.18Fraudulent Transfer. No Credit Party has entered into its Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each Credit Party has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of each Credit Party’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed such Credit Party’s total probable liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Each Credit Party’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  No Credit Party intends to, nor does any Credit Party believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of such Credit Party).

6.19Ownership of RHP Parties. A list of the holders of the Equity Interests of each RHP Party (other than the RHP Guarantor) is set forth in Schedule 6.19 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and no other Person has any rights and/or claim to any issued or unissued Equity Interest of any such RHP Party, except as set forth on said Schedule 6.19.

6.22Hazardous Materials. (i) Neither any Real Property nor any portion thereof is in violation of any Legal Requirement pertaining to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning environmental regulation, contamination or clean-up, including under any Environmental Laws; (ii) no Real Property is subject to any private or governmental Lien or judicial or administrative notice or action or inquiry, investigation or claim relating to Hazardous Materials; (iii) to the best of each Credit Party’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are or have been (including the period prior to a Mortgagor’s acquisition of its Real Property), discharged, generated, treated, disposed of or stored on, incorporated in, or removed or transported from such Real Property other than in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (iv) to each Credit Party’s knowledge, and except as disclosed in Schedule 6.22 attached hereto, no Hazardous Materials are present in, on or under any nearby real property which could migrate to or otherwise affect any Real Property; (v) to each Credit Party’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no Toxic Mold is on or about any Real Property which requires remediation; (vi) no underground storage tanks exist on any Real Property and each Real Property has never been used as a landfill; and (vii) there have been no environmental investigations, studies, audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or on behalf of any Credit Party which have not been provided to Lender.

(ii)Collection of Award.  If a Condemnation covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Condemnation”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $100,000 (a “Minor Condemnation”), and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then each Mortgagor has the power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of such Minor Condemnation.  In the event of an Insured Condemnation where the loss equals or exceeds $100,000 (a “Significant Condemnation”), Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as each Mortgagor’s and each other Credit Party’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Significant Condemnation (together with any right to receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Minor Condemnation, an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Significant Condemnation.  Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), the Credit Parties shall continue to pay the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Obligations shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in each Promissory Note.  If any Property or any part thereof is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on a Promissory Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Obligations.  The Credit Parties shall cause any Award that is payable to any of them to be paid directly to Lender, for the benefit of itself and Lender.  Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Account and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d)Application of Proceeds or Award.

(i)Application to Restoration.  If an Insured Casualty or an Insured Condemnation occurs where (a) the loss is a Significant Casualty or a Significant Condemnation, (b) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six months, and prior to six months before the Scheduled Maturity Date and prior

to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Significant Casualty or Significant Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Significant Casualty or Significant Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Obligations, (c) no Default shall exist and no Event of Default shall have occurred, and (d) the applicable Operating Lease is in full force and effect, all amounts due and owing by the Operators thereunder have been paid current and no “event of default” has occurred and is continuing under and as defined therein, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to reimburse the applicable Mortgagor (or to pay contractors or other third parties directly pursuant to Lender’s standard disbursement procedures and requirements) for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein.  Mortgagors shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse any Mortgagor for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (1) such Mortgagor shall pay (and if required by Lender, such Mortgagor shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (2) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and other reserve payments required hereunder, as determined by Lender.

(ii)Application to the Obligations.  Except as provided in Section 7.14(e)(iii), any Proceeds and/or Award in connection with a Significant Casualty or Significant Condemnation, as applicable, may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment of (a) accrued but unpaid interest on the Promissory Notes, (b) the unpaid Principal and (c) other charges due under the Promissory Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or applied to reimburse Mortgagors for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.14(e)(iii).  Any such prepayment of the Loans shall be subject to the Finance Fee, but shall otherwise be without any Prepayment Premium, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Proceeds are received from the insurance company or the Award is received from the condemning authority, as the case may be, in which event the applicable Borrower shall pay to Lender, for the benefit of itself and Lender, an additional amount equal to the Prepayment Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of the Proceeds or Award applied to the unpaid Principal.

(iii)Procedure for Application to Restoration.  If any Mortgagor is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award in connection with a Significant Casualty or Significant Condemnation, as applicable, held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Account upon Lender being furnished with (a) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (b) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (c) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the

48

Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (d) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (e) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work.  Lender may, at each Mortgagor’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement.  No payments made in the aggregate prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of any Mortgagor for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.  Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to the Mortgagor.  Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Mortgagor’s Obligations or returned to the Mortgagor.

7.15Environmental Matters.

thereof) or any party occupying the Real Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Material, and (iii) such Mortgagor’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Real Property (or any portion thereof) that could cause the Real Property (or any portion thereof) to be subject to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental Law.  Upon becoming aware of the presence of mold or fungus at the Real Property (or any portion thereof), such Mortgagor shall (i) promptly undertake an investigation to identify the source(s) of such mold or fungus and shall develop and implement an appropriate remediation plan to eliminate the presence of any Toxic Mold and the source of moisture causing such Toxic Mold, (ii) perform or cause to be performed all acts reasonably necessary for the remediation of any Toxic Mold (including taking any action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Real Property affected by Toxic Mold, including providing any necessary moisture control systems or otherwise eliminating the sources of such moisture at the Real Property), and (iii) provide evidence satisfactory to Lender of the foregoing.  Such Mortgagor shall permit Lender to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal or administrative proceedings or other actions initiated with respect to the Real Property in connection with any Environmental Law or Hazardous Material, and such Mortgagor shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection therewith.

(ii)Upon Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time, any Mortgagor shall provide an inspection or audit of its Real Property pursuant to a scope of work approved by Lender.  Such inspection shall be prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or qualified environmental consulting firm approved by Lender assessing the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials on, in or near the any Real Property. Such inspections and audit may include soil borings and ground water monitoring.  If such Mortgagor fails to provide any such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order same, and such Mortgagor hereby grants to Lender and its employees, agents, consultants and contractors access to its Real Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit.

(iii)If any environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any Hazardous Material, whether such Hazardous Material existed prior to the ownership of any Real Property by any Mortgagor, or presently exists or is reasonably suspected of existing, such Mortgagor shall cause such operations and maintenance plan in form and substance satisfactory to Lender to be prepared and implemented at its expense upon request of Lender, and with respect to any Toxic Mold, such Mortgagor shall take all action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Improvements affected by Toxic Mold in or about the Improvements, including providing any necessary moisture control systems or otherwise eliminating the sources of such moisture at the Real Property.  If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, cleanup, removal, restoration or other work of any kind is reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental Law (“Remedial Work”), such Mortgagor shall commence all such Remedial Work within thirty (30) days after written demand by Lender and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work within such period of time as may be required under Applicable Law.  All Remedial Work shall be

50

performed by licensed contractors approved in advance by Lender and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender.  All costs of such Remedial Work shall be paid by such Mortgagor, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the monitoring or review of such Remedial Work.  If such Mortgagor does not timely commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) cause such Remedial Work to be performed at such Mortgagor’s expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Mortgagor shall not be required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified time period:  (x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such Remedial Work within such time period would result in such Mortgagor or such Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law, or (z) if such Mortgagor, at its expense and after prior written notice to Lender, is contesting by appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work.  Such Mortgagor shall have the right to contest the need to perform such Remedial Work, provided that, (1) such Mortgagor is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the Real Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if such Mortgagor fails to promptly perform the Remedial Work being contested, and if such Mortgagor fails to prevail in contest, such Mortgagor would thereafter have the opportunity to perform such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which such Mortgagor has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and neither the Real Property nor any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which such Mortgagor has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) such Mortgagor shall have furnished to Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage that may result from such Mortgagor’s failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be requested by Lender but in no event less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the cost of such Remedial Work as estimated by Lender or Lender’s Consultant and any loss or damage that may result from such Mortgagor’s failure to prevail in such  contest.

Each Credit Party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender, each Lender, each Lender Affiliate and their respective successors and assigns, including the directors, officers, partners, members, shareholders, participants, employees, professionals and agents of any of the foregoing sand each other Person, if any, who Controls Lender or any Lender or any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for an Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender or such Lender shall be designated a party thereto, court costs and costs of appeal at all appellate levels, investigation and laboratory fees, consultant fees and litigation expenses), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) in any manner, relating to or arising out of or by reason of the Loans, including:  (i) any breach by any Credit Party of its obligations under, or any misrepresentation by any Credit Party contained in, any Loan Document; (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans; (iii) any information provided by or on behalf of any Credit Party, or contained in any documentation approved by any Credit Party; (iv) the existence of any Lien in any of the Collateral except for Permitted Liens and Permitted Encumbrances; (v) any Environmental Release or the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials on, from or affecting the Collateral or any Healthcare Facility; (vi) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to such Environmental Release or Hazardous Materials; (vii) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to such Environmental Release or Hazardous Materials or any violation of Healthcare Laws; and (viii) any violation of the Environmental Laws which is based upon or in any way related to such Environmental Release or Hazardous Material or any violation of any Environmental Laws or Healthcare Laws, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel for Lender, including the reasonable charges of internal legal counsel, the reasonable fees and disbursements of environmental engineers and consultants, investigation and laboratory fees, response and remediation costs, court costs and litigation expenses; provided, however, that no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.  Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Party by reason of the application of this Section shall be

(d)Delay.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender or any Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of any Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Real Property, the rents and receipts therefrom and/or any other collateral.

(e)Lender’s Right to Perform.  If any Credit Party fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after any Credit Party’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of their rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by the Credit Parties to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, secured by the Mortgages and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to any Credit Party of any such failure.

11.3Application of Payments After Event of Default or Exercise of Remedies.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, or after the exercise of remedies by Lender pursuant to Section 11.2 (or after the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents shall have automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Section 11.2), all amounts collected or received by Lender in respect of each Loan (on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents in respect of such Loan or in respect of the Collateral securing the same) shall be applied to amounts outstanding in respect of such Loan, as follows (and each Credit Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any such amounts in any other manner):

FIRST, to the payment of all fees, costs and Expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel for Lender, and the reasonable costs of internal legal counsel) of Lender in connection with enforcing the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents, and any other Obligations owing to Lender in respect of sums advanced by Lender to preserve the Collateral or to preserve its security interest in the Collateral (or any other collateral provided pursuant to any other Loan Document);

SECOND, to payment of that portion of the Obligations consisting of other fees, costs, expenses and indemnities of Lender;

THIRD, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued and unpaid interest, including interest at the Default Rate, owing to Lender;

FOURTH, to all Obligations consisting of principal owing to the Lender;

FIFTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Loan Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FOURTH” above; and

SIXTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to any Credit Party or whoever else may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided above until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category.

11.4Rights to Appoint Receiver. Without limiting and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lender have under this Agreement,  the other Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default or the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11.2, Lender shall have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Lender to enforce its rights and remedies in order to manage, protect, preserve, sell or dispose the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of each Credit Party and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership including the compensation of the receiver and to the payments as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated.  EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO OR OTHERWISE CONTEST THE APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER AS PROVIDED ABOVE.  EACH CREDIT PARTY (I) GRANTS SUCH WAIVER AND CONSENT KNOWINGLY AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS THEREOF WITH COUNSEL, (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) THE UNCONTESTED RIGHT TO HAVE A RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR THE FOREGOING PURPOSES IS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL BY LendeR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (B) THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH APPOINTMENT AS A REMEDY UNDER THE FOREGOING CIRCUMSTANCES WAS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN INDUCING Lender TO MAKE THE LOAN; AND (III) AGREES TO ENTER INTO ANY AND ALL STIPULATIONS IN ANY LEGAL ACTIONS, OR AGREEMENTS OR OTHER

11.5Assistance and Cooperation. Each Credit Party agrees to assist and cooperate with Lender, and take any action which Lender may reasonably request or require of such Credit Party, in order to enable Lender to obtain and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to Lender by the Credit Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including specifically, at the cost and expense of the Credit Parties, the use of their best efforts to assist in obtaining approval of any Governmental Authority for any transaction or action contemplated thereunder which is necessary under any Law or Contractual Obligation, and specifically the preparation, execution and filing with any such Person of any application for consent to assignment of Governmental Authorizations or otherwise.

11.6License. Lender is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) any or all Intellectual Property of any Credit Party computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral.  Any Credit Party’s rights and interests under Intellectual Property shall inure to Lender’s benefit.

11.7Injunctive Relief. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that if such Credit Party fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may have no adequate remedy in monetary damages and, accordingly, shall be entitled to an injunction, (including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ of attachment or order compelling performance) against such non-performance.  Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any other legal or equitable remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or at law if Lender shall seek injunctive relief under this Section 11.7.  Each Credit Party waives any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security by Lender in connection with any such injunctive relief.

ARTICLE XII.  PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS.

Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time (i) to sell or otherwise transfer any or all of the Loans or any portion thereof or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more investors, or (ii) to sell participation interests in any Loan to one or more investors.  In connection with any such sale, transfer or participation of any Loan or any portion thereof, each Credit Party shall, at such Credit Party’s expense, use all reasonable efforts and cooperate fully and in good faith with Lender and otherwise assist Lender in consummating any such sale, transfer or participation.  All information regarding any Credit Party or any Collateral may be furnished, without liability to Lender, to any prospective purchaser or participant in the Loans.  All documents, financial statements, appraisals and other data relevant to any Credit Party or the Loans may be exhibited to and retained by any such purchaser or participant in its files.

14.5Modification, Waiver in Writing, No Deemed Consent. Lender’s failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by any Credit Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.  In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.  Any suspension or waiver by Lender of an Event of Default under this Agreement or a default under any of the other Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default under this Agreement or any other default under any of the other Lo Documents, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character.  None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Credit Parties contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Event of Default under this Agreement or default under any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender unless such suspension or waiver is in writing signed by an officer of Lender, and directed to a Credit Party specifying such suspension or waiver.

14.9Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

14.10Preferences. To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment to Lender hereunder, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Indebtedness or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.  This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.

14.11Waiver of Notice. No Credit Party shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to the Credit Parties and except with respect to matters for which the Credit Parties are not, pursuant to Applicable Laws, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Each Credit Party hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to any Credit Party.

14.12Remedies of Credit Parties. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, each Credit Party agrees that Lender nor its respective agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and such Credit Party’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.  Each Credit Party specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on such Credit Party’s behalf.

14.13Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

14.14Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Each Credit Party hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its respective agents or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which such Credit Party may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by such Credit Party in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by such Credit Party.

14.15No Usury. Each Credit Party and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 14.15 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents.  If the Applicable Law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under any Promissory Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Obligations, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loans or any prepayment by Borrowers results in Borrowers having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by Applicable Law, then it is the Credit Parties’ and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations (or, if the Obligations have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to the Credit Parties), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with Applicable Law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loans does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loans for so long as the Loans are outstanding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

14.16Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.

14.17No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender, Lender and the Credit Parties and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and the Credit Parties any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

76

14.18Assignment. The Loans, the Promissory Notes, the Loan Documents and/or any Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by such Lender and any of its successors and assigns in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article XII.  No Credit Party may assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents.

14.19Set-Off. Without limiting and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lender have under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Credit Party to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Credit Party hereunder or under any Swap Agreement (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party.  Lender agrees promptly to notify the Credit Parties after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

14.20Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile machine, portable document format (“PDF”) or other electronic means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to Applicable Laws, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on the Credit Parties and Lender.  Lender may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.  No party may raise the use of a telecopier, facsimile machine, PDF or other electronic means, or the fact that any signature was transmitted through the use of a telecopier, facsimile machine, PDF or other electronic means, as a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement.

14.21Intentionally Omitted.

14.22Intentionally Omitted.

14.23Release of Claims. Each Credit Party does hereby (i) waive any claim in tort, contract or otherwise which such Credit Party may have against Lender, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, agents, or employees (collectively, “Lender Agents”) which may arise out of the relationship between any such Credit Party and any such Person prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) absolutely and unconditionally releases and discharges Lender, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and the Lender Agents from any and all claims, causes of action, losses, damages or expenses which may arise out of any relationship between it and Lender, such Lender, any such Affiliate or the Lender Agents which such Credit Party may have as of the Closing Date.  Each Credit Party acknowledges that it makes this waiver and release knowingly, voluntarily and only after considering the ramifications of this waiver and release with its legal counsel.

14.24Acting Through Agents. In exercising any rights under the Loan Documents or taking any actions provided for therein, Lender may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by Lender.  The Credit Parties shall authorize their accounting firm and/or service bureaus to provide Lender with such information as is requested by Lender in accordance with this Agreement.  Each Credit Party authorizes Lender to contact directly any such accounting firm and/or service bureaus to obtain such information.
