7.12    Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)    Each Borrower shall not effect, suffer or permit any Prohibited Transfer. Any conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) of any of the following properties or interests shall constitute a Prohibited Transfer:
(i)    Any Project or any part thereof or interest therein, excepting only sales or other dispositions of collateral for the Loan no longer useful in connection with the operation of such Project, provided that prior to the sale or other disposition thereof, such collateral has been replaced by collateral of at least equal value and utility and which is subject to the lien of the applicable Mortgage with the same priority as with respect to the original collateral;
(ii)    Any shares of capital stock of a corporate Borrower or a corporation which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in any Borrower (other than the shares of capital stock of a corporate trustee or a corporation whose stock is publicly traded on a national securities exchange or on the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System);

- 25 -






(iii)    All or any part of the membership interests in a limited liability company Borrower or a limited liability company which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in any Borrower;
(iv)    All or any part of the general partner or the limited partner interest, as the case may be, of a partnership or limited partnership Borrower, or a partnership or limited partnership which is a direct or indirect owner of an ownership interest in any Borrower; or
(v)    If there shall be any change in Control (by way of transfers of stock, partnership or member interests or otherwise) in any partner, member, manager or shareholder, as applicable, which directly or indirectly Controls the day to day operations and management of any Borrower that is not a natural person and/or owns a Controlling interest in any Borrower; provided, however, that this subparagraph shall not apply to AdCare;
in each case whether any such conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, encumbrance or alienation is effected directly, indirectly (including the nominee agreement), voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) liens securing obligations to Lender, (ii) the lien of current taxes and assessments not in default, (iii) any transfers of any Project, or part thereof, or interest therein, or any shares of stock or partnership or limited liability company interests, as the case may be, by or on behalf of an owner thereof who is deceased or declared judicially incompetent, to such owner’s heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators, estate or personal representatives, (iv) the Leases, or (v) Permitted Exceptions.
(b)    In determining whether or not to make the Loan, Lender evaluated the background and experience of Borrowers and their members in owning and operating property such as the Projects, found it acceptable and relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of maintaining the value of the Projects. Borrowers and their members are well experienced in borrowing money and owning and operating property such as the Projects, were ably represented by a licensed attorney at law in the negotiation and documentation of the Loan and bargained at arm’s length and without duress of any kind for all of the terms and conditions of the Loan, including this provision. Borrowers recognize that Lender is entitled to keep its loan portfolio at current interest rates by either making new loans at such rates or collecting assumption fees and/or increasing the interest rate on a loan, the security for which is purchased by a party other than the original Borrowers. Borrowers further recognize that any further junior financing placed upon the Projects (a) may divert funds which would otherwise be used to pay the Note; (b) could result in acceleration and foreclosure by any such junior encumbrancer which would force Lender to take measures and incur expenses to protect its security; (c) would detract from the value of the Projects should Lender come into possession thereof with the intention of selling same; and (d) would impair Lender’s right to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as a foreclosure by Lender would be necessary to clear the title to the Projects. In accordance with the foregoing and for the purposes of (i) protecting Lender’s security, both of repayment and of value of the Projects; (ii) giving Lender the full benefit of its bargain and contract with Borrowers; (iii) allowing Lender to raise the interest rate and collect assumption fees; and (iv) keeping the Projects free of subordinate financing liens, Borrowers agree that if this Section is deemed a restraint on alienation, that it is a reasonable one.

(a)    Take possession of any one or more of the Projects and do anything required, necessary or advisable in Lender’s sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrowers hereunder, including the right to employ watchmen to protect any Project from injury. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the premises to perform the following actions:
(i)    without inquiring into and without respect to the validity thereof, to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens, against its Project or any portion thereof or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any construction and equipping of such Project or for the clearance of title to such Project;
(ii)    to prosecute and defend actions or proceedings in connection with any Project; and

- 32 -






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

If Borrowers shall fail to perform any of their covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents contained, Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements, and any amounts expended by Lender in so doing, and any amounts expended by Lender pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof and any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed advanced by Lender under an obligation to do so regardless of the identity of the person or persons to whom said funds are disbursed. Loan Proceeds advanced by Lender to complete any work at the Projects or to protect its security for the Loan are obligatory advances hereunder and shall constitute additional indebtedness payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.
11.3    Attorneys’ Fees. Borrowers shall pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the negotiation, preparation and administration of this Agreement and shall pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any right or remedy provided at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on Borrowers in any case, in itself, shall entitle Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
11.5    Default Rate. During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, interest on funds outstanding hereunder shall accrue at the Default Rate and be payable on demand. The failure of Lender to charge interest at the Default Rate shall not be evidence of the absence of an Event of Default or waiver of an Event of Default by Lender.
