MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT is made as of the 4th day of August, 2009, by and between SNH FM FINANCING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking association.

 

RECITALS

 

A.            Borrower owns one (1) or more Seniors Housing Facilities (unless otherwise defined or the context clearly indicates otherwise, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Appendix I of this Agreement) as more particularly described in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

 

B.            Borrower has requested that Lender make a loan in the amount of $512,934,000 to Borrower, comprised of a $205,174,000 Variable Loan, and a $307,760,000 Fixed Loan.

 

C.            To secure the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents issued in connection with the Term Loan, Borrower shall create a Collateral Pool in favor of Lender.  The Collateral Pool shall be comprised of (i) the Seniors Housing Facilities listed on Exhibit A and (ii) any other collateral pledged to Lender from time to time by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

 

D.            Each Note and Security Document related to the Mortgaged Properties comprising the Collateral Pool shall be cross-defaulted (i.e., a default under any Note, Security Document relating to the Collateral Pool and under this Agreement, shall constitute a default under each Note, Security Document and this Agreement related to the Mortgaged Properties comprising the Collateral Pool) and cross-collateralized (i.e., each Security Instrument related to the Mortgaged Properties within the Collateral Pool shall secure all of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, after an Event of Default, Lender may accelerate any Note without needing to accelerate any other Note and that in the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, Lender may, except as provided in this Agreement, exercise and perfect any and all of its rights in and under the Loan Documents with regard to any Mortgaged Property without needing to exercise and perfect its rights and remedies with respect to any other Mortgaged Property and that any such exercise shall be without regard to the Allocable Loan Amount assigned to such Mortgaged Property and that Lender may recover an amount equal to the full amount outstanding in respect of any of the Notes in connection with such exercise and any such amount shall be applied as determined by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

 

E.             Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Lender has agreed to make a Term Loan.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower and Lender, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained in this Agreement, hereby agree as follows:

 



 

ARTICLE 1
THE TERM LOAN

 

Section 1.01.                                       Term Loan.

 

(a)           Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make the Term Loan to Borrower on the Initial Closing Date.  The maximum aggregate principal balance of the Term Loan shall be $512,934,000.

 

Section 1.02.                                       Notes.

 

The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loan shall be evidenced by the following Notes: (i) a Fixed Facility Note in the principal amount of $307,760,000 and (ii) a Variable Facility Note in the principal amount of $205,174,000.  The Notes shall be payable to the order of Lender and shall equal the aggregate original principal amount of the Term Loan to the Borrower.

 

Section 1.03.                                       Maturity Date/Prepayment.

 

The maturity date of the Term Loan shall be September 1, 2019.  The Term Loan shall amortize over the Amortization Period with the outstanding principal balance due and owing on the maturity date.

 

Section 1.04.                                       Yield Maintenance/Prepayment.

 

The terms and conditions of yield maintenance and/or prepayment premiums as applicable, are contained in the Notes and such terms and conditions shall apply to the prepayment in part or whole of the Term Loan during the term of this Agreement.

 

Section 1.05.                                       Interest Rate Execution.

 

In the event that the Term Loan made on the Initial Closing Date is solely a Fixed Loan, the provisions in this Agreement referencing the Variable Loan and Variable Facility Note shall be deemed to be of no further force and effect and be deemed to be eliminated from this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 2
ALLOCABLE LOAN AMOUNT/SUPPLEMENTAL LOANS

 

Section 2.01.                                       Determination of Allocable Loan Amount and Valuations.

 

(a)           Initial Determinations.  On the Initial Closing Date, Lender shall determine (i) the Allocable Loan Amount and Valuation for each Initial Mortgaged Property, (ii) the Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio and (iii) the Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio.  The determinations made as of the Initial Closing Date shall remain unchanged until the First Anniversary.  Changes in Allocable Loan Amount, Valuations, the Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the

 

2



 

Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio shall be made pursuant to Section 2.01(b).

 

(b)           Monitoring Determinations.  Once each Calendar Quarter within twenty (20) Business Days after Borrower has delivered to Lender the reports required in Section 8.03, Lender shall determine the Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio, Level of Care Diversity Requirements, the Valuations and the Allocable Loan Amounts and whether Borrower is in compliance with the other covenants set forth in the Loan Documents.  After the First Anniversary, on an annual basis, and if Lender decides that changed market or property conditions warrant, Lender shall redetermine Allocable Loan Amounts and Valuations.  Lender shall also redetermine Allocable Loan Amounts to take account of any substitution or release of Collateral or other event that invalidates the outstanding determinations.  In determining Valuations, Lender shall use Capitalization Rates based on its internal survey and analysis of capitalization rates for comparable sales in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property, with such adjustments as Lender deems appropriate and without any obligation to use any information provided by Borrower.  If Lender is unable to determine a Capitalization Rate for a Mortgaged Property, Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of Borrower, not more than once annually, to obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a market study in order to establish a Capitalization Rate.  In the event Borrower fails to consent to Lender obtaining a market study, Lender shall determine the Capitalization Rate pursuant to the Underwriting Requirements.  Lender shall promptly disclose its determinations to Borrower.  Until redetermined, the outstanding Allocable Loan Amounts and Valuations shall remain in effect.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no change in Allocable Loan Amounts, Valuations, the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio, the Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio or the Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall, unless resulting from the concurrent release or substitution of Collateral from the Collateral Pool, (i) result in a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default, (ii) require the prepayment of any Note, or (iii) require the addition of Collateral to the Collateral Pool.

 

Section 2.02.                                       Supplemental Loan.

 

After the First Anniversary, Borrower may participate in the Fannie Mae Supplemental Loan product, if the Supplemental Loan product is offered by Fannie Mae at the time and if no Targeted Entity is a Prohibited Person.  Any such Supplemental Loan is subject to Lender’s determination that, as a result of its annual valuation of the Collateral Pool, a Supplemental Loan may be made pursuant to Lender’s Underwriting Requirements for Tier Four loans in effect at the time of the request.  The Supplemental Loan will be documented with loan documents similar to the Loan Documents (“Supplemental Loan Documents”).  Supplemental Loans will not be loans advanced under this Agreement.  Any Supplemental Loan will be priced at market at the time of the loan and will be cross-defaulted with the Term Loan.  To secure the obligations of Borrower under the Supplemental Loan Documents, Borrower shall grant, convey and assign to Lender a second Lien on each Mortgaged Property in the Collateral Pool and on any other collateral pledged to Lender from time to time pursuant to the Supplemental Loan Documents.  On the closing date of the Supplemental Loan, Lender shall determine the portion of the

 

3



 

Supplemental Loan allocated to a particular Mortgaged Property by Lender (the “Supplemental Allocable Loan Amount”), which Supplemental Allocable Loan Amounts shall be set forth in a separate exhibit to this Agreement.  Lender shall redetermine the Supplemental Allocable Loan Amounts in the same manner and at the same time as the redetermination of the Allocable Loan Amounts pursuant to Section 2.01(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Supplemental Loan shall be monitored pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement and Lender shall include the Supplemental Loan upon calculating the Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio, in connection with any Request.  Borrower agrees to pay any fees (including legal fees) that may be charged in connection with a Supplemental Loan.

VALUATIONS/COLLATERAL CHANGES

 

Section 3.01.                                       Reserved.

 

Section 3.02.                                       Reserved.

 

Section 3.03.                                       Right to Obtain Releases of Collateral.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 3, and the limitations set forth in Section 15.17, Borrower shall have the right after the First Anniversary, from time to time, to obtain a release of Collateral from the Collateral Pool.

 

Section 3.04.                                       Procedure for Obtaining Releases of Collateral.

 

(a)           Request.  To obtain a release of Collateral from the Collateral Pool, Borrower may deliver a Release Request to Lender.  Upon delivery of the Release Request, Borrower shall not be permitted to re-borrow any amounts that will be prepaid in connection with the release of Collateral.

 

(b)           Closing.  If all conditions precedent contained in Section 6.05 and all General Conditions contained in Section 6.01 are satisfied, Lender shall cause the Release Mortgaged Property to be released, at a closing to be held at offices designated by Lender on a Closing Date selected by Lender, and occurring within thirty (30) days after Lender’s receipt of the Release Request (or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may agree), by executing and delivering, and causing all applicable parties to execute and deliver, all at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, the Release Documents.  Borrower shall prepare the Release Documents and submit them to Lender for its review.

 

(c)           Release Price.  The “Release Price” for each Release Mortgaged Property means the greater of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the Allocable Loan Amount for the Release Mortgaged Property plus one hundred percent (100%) of the Supplemental Allocable Loan Amount for the Release Mortgaged Property and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount, if any, of the Term Loan Outstanding and any Supplemental Loan Outstanding that is required to be repaid by Borrower to Lender in connection with the proposed release of the

 

4



 

Release Mortgaged Property from the Collateral Pool, so that, immediately after the release, the Release Coverage and LTV Tests will be satisfied, the Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio will not be reduced, and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio will not be increased as a result of such release.  In addition to the Release Price, Borrower shall pay to Lender all associated prepayment premiums and other amounts due under the Notes being repaid.  In connection with a non-simultaneous substitution of Collateral pursuant to Section 3.06(c)(ii) of this Agreement, Borrower shall be permitted, in lieu of paying the Release Price, to post a Letter of Credit issued by a financial institution acceptable to Lender and having terms and conditions acceptable to Lender, having a face amount equal to the Release Price.

 

(d)           Application of Release Price.  (i) The Release Price for the Release Mortgaged Property shall be applied in the order selected by Borrower, provided that (A) any amount of the Supplemental Loan Outstanding which Borrower elects to prepay must be prepaid in full, or if the Release Price is not sufficient to do so, the Supplemental Loan shall only be partially prepaid; (B) any amount of the Term Loan Outstanding which Borrower elects to prepay must be prepaid in full, or if the Release Price is not sufficient to do so, the Term Loan shall be only partially prepaid; (C) any prepayment is permitted under the applicable Note; (D) any prepayment premium due and owing is paid; and (E) interest is paid through the end of the month.  If Borrower  does not give Lender direction with respect to the application of the Release Price or if such direction does not comply with the provisions of (A) — (B) above, then the Release Price shall be applied first against any variable rate Supplemental Loan Outstanding so long as the prepayment is permitted under the applicable note, until any variable rate Supplemental Loan is no longer Outstanding (provided that, in the event there are multiple variable rate Supplemental Loans Outstanding, Lender shall determine the order of application of the Release Price taking into account factors including the unpaid principal balance of the variable rate Supplemental Loan notes, and which variable rate Supplemental Loan note Outstanding has the lowest prepayment costs or highest interest rate), then against any Variable Loan Outstanding so long as the prepayment is permitted under the Variable Facility Note, until any Variable Loan is no longer Outstanding, then against any fixed rate Supplemental Loan Outstanding so long as the prepayment is permitted under the applicable note, until any fixed rate Supplemental Loan is no longer Outstanding (provided that, in the event there are multiple fixed rate Supplemental Loans Outstanding, Lender shall determine the order of application of the Release Price taking into account factors including the unpaid principal balance of the fixed rate Supplemental Notes, and which fixed rate Supplemental Loan note Outstanding has the lowest prepayment costs or highest interest rate), then against any Fixed Loan Outstanding as permitted under the applicable Fixed Facility Note.

 

(ii)           In the event Borrower desires to release a Release Mortgaged Property on a date other than the last Business Day of the month, the Release Price or the remainder of the Release Price, if any, shall be held by Lender (or its appointed collateral agent) as substitute Collateral (“Substitute Collateral”), in accordance with a security agreement (if required by Lender) and other documents in form and substance acceptable to Lender.  Any Substitute Collateral shall first be used to prepay the applicable Supplemental Loan and then the applicable Term Loan on the last Business Day of the month.

(e)           Test for Release.  A release may be effected provided that immediately after giving effect to the requested release (i) the Release Coverage and LTV Tests for the Collateral Pool are met, (ii) the Geographical Diversification Requirements are satisfied and (iii) the Level of Care Diversity Requirements are satisfied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either the Release Coverage and LTV Tests, the Geographical Diversification Requirements or the Level of Care Diversity Requirements are not satisfied after the release of a Mortgaged Property, such release may be permitted by Lender if the release improves the Collateral Pool based on factors that are consistent with Lender’s Underwriting Requirements and result in improvement in one or more of the following areas: the then current Valuation of the Mortgaged Properties, the then current Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the then current Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio or the then current Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio.

 

Section 3.05.                                       Right to Substitutions.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 3 and the limitations set forth in Section 15.17, Borrower shall have the right to obtain the release of the Mortgaged Property securing the Term Loan made to Borrower (the “Release Mortgaged Property”) by replacing such Mortgaged Property with a Seniors Housing Facility that meets the requirements of this Agreement (the “Substitute Mortgaged Property”) thereby effecting a “Substitution” of Collateral.

 

Section 3.06.                                       Procedure for Substitutions.

 

(a)           Request.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender a completed and executed Substitution Request.  Each Substitution Request shall be accompanied by the following:  (i) the information required by the Underwriting Requirements with respect to the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property and any additional information Lender reasonably requests; and (ii) the payment of all Additional Collateral Due Diligence Fees.

 

(b)           Underwriting.

 

(i)            Lender shall evaluate the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Underwriting Requirements.

 

(ii)           A Substitution may be effected provided that: (i) Lender determines that the Substitute Mortgaged Property is of similar or better quality taking into account such factors as age of the asset, property condition and vacancy rate and located in a similar or better market, taking into account such factors as demographics, income levels, market occupancy rates and level of unemployment as the released Seniors Housing Facility, (ii) the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property individually satisfies the Loan to Value Ratio requirements for all Mortgaged Properties in the Collateral Pool, (iii) immediately after the Substitution, the resulting Collateral Pool satisfies the better of (A) the Substitution Coverage and LTV Tests or (B) the Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio of the Collateral Pool immediately prior to the Substitution Request, (iv) after the Substitution, the Geographical Diversification Requirements are met, (v) after the Substitution the Level of Care Diversity

 

6



 

Requirements are met, (vi) the Substitute Mortgaged Property is leased to the Master Tenant pursuant to the Operating Lease and Operator pursuant to the Sub-Lease and (vii) if the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property contains Skilled Nursing Units, the Net Operating Income of the Substitute Mortgaged Property obtained from the Skilled Nursing Units is less than twenty percent (20%).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either the Substitution Coverage and LTV Tests, the Geographical Diversification Requirements or the Level of Care Diversity Requirements are not satisfied after the Substitution of a proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property, such Substitution may be permitted by Lender if the Substitution improves the Collateral Pool based on factors that are consistent with Lender’s Underwriting Requirements and result in improvement in one or more of the following areas: the then current Valuation of the Mortgaged Properties, the then current Aggregate NOI Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the then current Aggregate Lease Payment Debt Service Coverage Ratio or the then current Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio.

 

(iii)          Within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of (A) the Substitution Request and (B) all reports, certificates and documents required by the Underwriting Requirements and this Agreement, including a zoning analysis required by Lender in connection with similar loans anticipated to be sold to Fannie Mae, Lender shall notify the applicable Borrower whether the Substitute Mortgaged Property meets the requirements of this Section 3.06(b) and the Underwriting Requirements and the other requirements for the Substitution of a Mortgaged Property as set forth in this Agreement.  Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Lender’s written notice in response to the Substitution Request, Borrower shall notify Lender whether it elects to proceed with the Substitution.  If Borrower fails to respond within the period of five (5) Business Days, it shall be conclusively deemed to have elected not to proceed with the Substitution.

 

(c)           Closing.  If Lender determines that the Substitution Request satisfies the conditions set forth herein, Borrower timely elects to proceed with the substitution, and all conditions precedent contained in Section 3.05, Section 3.06Section 6.05, Section 6.06, Section 6.11 and all General Conditions contained in Section 6.01 are satisfied, the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property shall be added in replacement of the Mortgaged Property being released, at a closing to be held at offices designated by Lender on a Closing Date selected by Lender and occurring —

 

(i)            if the substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property is to occur simultaneously with the release of the Release Mortgaged Property, within sixty (60) days after Lender’s receipt of the applicable Borrower’s election (or on such other date to which Borrower and Lender may agree); or

 

(ii)           if the substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property is to occur subsequent to the release of the Release Mortgaged Property, within ninety (90) days after the release of such Release Mortgaged Property (provided such date may be extended an additional ninety (90) days if Borrower provides evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has identified and is under contract to purchase or already owns a suitable proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property) (the “Property Delivery Deadline”).

Section 3.07.                                       Substitution Deposit.

 

(a)           The Deposit.   If a Substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property is to occur subsequent to the release of the Release Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 3.06(c)(ii), at the Closing Date of the release of the Release Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the “Substitution Deposit” described in Section 3.07(b) in the form of cash in a non-interest bearing account held by Lender or, in lieu of depositing cash for the Substitution Deposit, Borrower may post a Letter of Credit issued by a financial institution acceptable to Lender and having terms and conditions acceptable to Lender, having a face amount equal to the Substitution Deposit.

 

(b)           Substitution Deposit Amount. The “Substitution Deposit” for each proposed substitution shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Release Price, plus (ii) any and all fee maintenance or prepayment premium for: (A) such Note or Notes designated by Borrower in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 3.04(d) in connection with the application of Release Price, as the Notes Borrower elects to prepay if the substitution fails to take place or (B) if Borrower does not make such designation or such designation does not comply with the provisions of Section 3.04(d), Lender shall choose such Note in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04(d) (the “Selected Note”), calculated as of the end of the month in which the Property Delivery Deadline occurs, as if the Selected Note were to be prepaid in such month, plus (iii) principal and interest due and owing on the portion of the Selected Note which is to be prepaid through the end of the month in which the Property Delivery Deadline occurs, plus (iv) reasonable costs, expenses and fees of Lender pertaining to the substitution (the “Substitution Cost Deposit”).  The amount of the Substitution Deposit shall be recalculated by Lender in the event the Property Delivery Deadline is extended pursuant to Section 3.06(c)(ii).  If a Substitution of the last remaining asset is taking place, the cash collateral or Letter of Credit must include, (A) any yield maintenance that would be due to the extent that the Fixed Facility Note must be prepaid to effect a release at that time and (B) any fee maintenance that would be due to the extent that the Variable Facility Note must be prepaid to effect a release at that time and (C) the full amount of principal and interest owing under all remaining Notes.  The Substitution Cost Deposit shall be used by Lender to cover all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae, including any out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by Fannie Mae and Lender in connection with such substitution whether such substitution actually closes.

 

(c)           Failure to Close Substitution.  If the substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property does not occur by the Property Delivery Deadline in accordance with Section 3.06(c)(ii), then such Borrower shall have irrevocably waived its right to substitute such Release Mortgaged Property with the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property, and the release of the Release Mortgaged Property shall be deemed a prepayment of the Note.  Subject to the terms of Section 3.06(c)(ii), the Property Delivery Deadline shall be no later than the date ninety (90) days after the date the Lender’s lien on such Release Mortgaged Property is released. Any MBS being prepaid shall be deemed to be prepaid as of the end of the month in which the Property Delivery Deadline falls and the Lender shall follow standard Fannie Mae procedures for the prepayment of the Note, including delivery of the Substitution Deposit (less the Substitution Cost

 

8



 

Deposit) to Fannie Mae in accordance with such procedures.  Any portion of the Substitution Deposit not needed to prepay the Note, all interest, and any prepayment fees (including any portion of the Substitution Cost Deposit not used by Lender to cover all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae, including any out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by Fannie Mae and Lender in connection with such Substitution) shall be promptly refunded to the applicable Borrower after the Property Delivery Deadline.

 

(d)           Substitution Deposit Disbursement.  At closing of the Substitution, the Lender shall disburse the Substitution Deposit (less any portion of the Substitution Cost Deposit used by Lender to cover all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae, including any out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by Fannie Mae and Lender in connection with such substitution) directly to the Borrower at such time as the conditions set forth in Sections 3.05, 3.06, 6.05, 6.06, 6.11 and all General Conditions contained in Section 6.01 have been satisfied, which must occur no later than the Property Delivery Deadline.

If Borrower fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.25, Borrower may release the specific Mortgaged Properties that are not operated by a Single Purpose entity in compliance with the requirements of this Section 8.25, so long as the release of the specific Mortgaged Property satisfies the requirements of Sections 3.04 and 6.05.  Borrower’s failure to release such Mortgaged Property pursuant to the requirements of Sections 3.04 and 6.05 within 30 days of the breach of this Section 8.25, will constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

Section 8.26.                                       Indemnification.

 

The Borrower hereby releases Lender and Fannie Mae and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, officials, agents, independent contractors and employees from, and covenants and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lender and Fannie Mae and

 

32



 

their respective officers, members, directors, shareholders, officials, agents, independent contractors and employees and each of them (each an “indemnified party”) from and against (a) any and all claims, joint or several, by or on behalf of any person arising from any cause whatsoever in connection with (i) a Master Tenant/Operator Bankruptcy Event prior to the transfer contemplated in Section 8.25, or (ii) the transferring of any Licenses (or failure to transfer) to a Single-Purpose entity wholly owned by Five Star Quality Care as set forth in Section 8.25 or (iii) the multi-purpose nature of each existing Operator prior to the transfer contemplated in Section 8.25.  Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, counsel fees, expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with any such claim or proceeding referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

 

In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against any indemnified party with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Section, the Borrower, upon written notice from the indemnified party, will assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by the Borrower, but acceptable to the indemnified party, and must assume the payment of all expenses related thereto, with full power to litigate, compromise or settle the same in its sole discretion, provided that such indemnified party has the right to review and approve or disapprove any such compromise or settlement.

 

Each indemnified party has the right, if such indemnified party concludes in good faith that a conflict of interest exists, to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Borrower must pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel.

 

In the event that an indemnified party does not conclude that a conflict of interest exists and yet such party prefers to employ separate counsel in such action or proceeding, it may do so at its own cost and expense.  If such separate counsel is employed as described above, the Borrower and any such indemnified party agree to cooperate as may reasonably be required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, including, but not limited to, making available to each other, and their counsel and accountants, all books and records relating to such action, suit or proceeding.  If any such counsel reasonably determines that the rendering of such assistance will adversely affect the defense or interests of its client, such counsel is not required to comply with the terms of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

Notwithstanding any transfer of the Mortgaged Properties to another owner, the Borrower will remain obligated to indemnify each indemnified party pursuant to this Section with respect to acts occurring prior to the date of transfer of legal title to the Mortgaged Properties (irrespective of when a claim is actually made).  All amounts due under this Section 8.26 are payable within 30 days after delivery of written notice from Lender to the Borrower unless judicial order requires that any such payments must be made on an earlier date in which case payment is made by such date on written demand therefor.

Section 11.02.                                Tenant-Triggered Defaults.

 

Except as provided in the next paragraph, notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) an Event of Default by the Operator under the Sub-Lease or an Event of Default by the Master Tenant under the Operating Lease, (ii) an Event of Default by the Operator or Master Tenant under any Subordination Assignment and Security Agreement, or (iii) an Event of Default under any Loan Document directly caused solely on account of the action or inaction of the Operator or Master Tenant (a “Tenant Triggered Default”), will not be an Event of Default under any Loan Document provided that within seven (7) Business Days of Borrower having actual knowledge of such Tenant Triggered Default occurring Borrower presents a written plan of action (setting forth the cause of the default, the specific steps Borrower will take to remedy the default and the timetable for implementing such remedy) (the “Plan”) and Lender approves such Plan or a modified Plan within fifteen (15) Business Days of the presentation to it of such Plan or such default is otherwise cured prior to Lender responding to such Plan.  A Plan may include the release or substitution of one or more Mortgaged Properties, so long as the requirements for a release or substitution set forth in this Agreement are satisfied.  Lender’s decision to accept or reject a Plan will not be made in an arbitrary and capricious manner.  For purposes of this Section 11.02, without limiting the scope of the meaning of Borrower’s having actual knowledge, Borrower will automatically and immediately be deemed to have actual knowledge:

 

(i) of written public disclosure;

 

(ii) of the breach by Operator or Master Tenant of any obligation which is scheduled to be performed by or on a particular date (such as the payment of rent); or

 

(iii) in the event that Key Principal or REIT Management Research LLC or its successors and assigns has actual knowledge.

 

The prior paragraph will not be applicable to any Event of Default under the Sub-Lease or Operating Lease or any Loan Document or Supplemental Loan or to any Event of Default by

 

41



 

the Operator or Master Tenant under any Subordination Assignment and Security Agreement relating to (i) the failure to pay any obligations due and owing under any Loan Document; (ii) the failure to pay taxes or other Impositions, (iii) the failure to purchase and maintain required insurance coverage, (iv) the liquidation or dissolution of the Operator or Master Tenant, (v) the revocation or  termination of any License necessary to the operation of any Mortgaged Property as a Seniors Housing Facility, (vi) the cancellation of any utility services, (vii) an assignment by Master Tenant of its right, title and interest under the Operating Lease or Sub-Lease, (viii) an assignment by the Operator of its right, title and interest under the Sub-Lease, (ix) a failure to use any Mortgaged Property as a Seniors Housing Facility and any uses incidental thereto, (x) the failure to transfer licenses as required under each Subordination Assignment and Security Agreement and Section 8.25 of this Agreement, or (xi) compliance with obligations under the Completion Repair and Security Agreement relating to the completion of immediate repairs.  In the event Master Tenant or Operator breaches any obligation under the Sub-Lease, Operating Lease or Subordination Assignment and Security Agreement relating to the creation of any encumbrance or lien on (A) any collateral pledged by Master Tenant or Operator to Lender (B) any leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property or (C) the Collateral, upon Borrower having actual knowledge of such breach, Borrower will, within 30 days cause such encumbrance or lien to be released of record, bonded or otherwise remedied to Lender’s satisfaction and failure to do so will be an Event of Default.

 

If Lender consents to the Plan, an Event of Default will occur if Borrower fails to diligently implement the Plan in the judgment of Lender within the agreed-upon time period set forth in the Plan.  If Lender does not respond to the Plan within fifteen (15) Business Days it will be deemed rejected.  If Lender rejects the Plan, and if the Tenant Triggered Default is property specific and pertains to no more than five (5) Mortgaged Properties within any quarterly period, Borrower will have 3 Business Days from the date of rejection to inform Lender if it will release the impacted property from the Collateral Pool in a manner which complies with the release requirements set forth in Sections 3.03, 3.04 and 6.05 within thirty (30) days of the rejection.  Thereafter, the Borrower may also substitute a property into the Collateral Pool in a manner which complies with the substitution requirements set forth in Section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 6.06.  If Borrower (i) fails to inform the Lender within such 3 Business Day period that it will release or substitute the impacted property; (ii) informs Lender it will not release or substitute the impacted property; or (iii) fails to release the impacted property within such thirty (30) day period in accordance with the requirements of this Section, an Event of Default under the Loan Documents will occur.

To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts.  It shall not be necessary that the signatures of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signatures of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart, but it shall be sufficient that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, appear on one (1) or more counterparts.  All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than the number of counterparts containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereto.

This Agreement may be amended, changed, modified, altered or terminated only by written instrument or written instruments signed by all of the parties hereto.

 

Section 15.03.                                Payment of Costs, Fees and Expenses.

 

In addition to the payments required by Section 10.03 of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay within 30 days after delivery of written notice from Lender, all reasonable third party out-of-pocket fees, costs, charges or expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts) incurred by Lender in connection with:

 

(a)           Any amendment, consent or waiver to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (whether or not any such amendments, consents or waivers are entered into).

 

(b)           Defending or participating in any litigation arising from actions by third parties and brought against or involving Lender with respect to (i) any Mortgaged Property, (ii) any event, act, condition or circumstance in connection with any Mortgaged Property or (iii) the relationship between Lender and Borrower and Key Principal in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 15.05.                                Payments on Business Days.

 

In any case in which the date of payment to Lender or the expiration of any time period hereunder occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment or expiration of such time period need not occur on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the day of maturity or expiration of such period, except that interest shall continue to accrue for the period after such date to the next Business Day.
