  1. PRIORITIES

    1. AR Lender Priority.

      1. AR Lender and FHA Lender agree that, as between AR Lender and FHA Lender, subject to Section 2.1(b), at all times, whether before, during or after the pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding, and notwithstanding the taking of possession of, or other exercise of rights in respect of the FHA Lender Priority Collateral (or any portion thereof) or the priorities that ordinarily would result under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in each and every applicable jurisdiction, and as amended from time to time, and other applicable law for the order of granting or perfecting of any security interests referred to herein, AR Lender shall have a first and prior security interest in, upon and to the AR Lender Priority Collateral to secure the AR Loan Obligations; and FHA Lender hereby subordinates to AR Lender’s security interest FHA Lender’s security interest in the AR Lender Priority Collateral. FHA Lender shall abide by the standstill provisions set forth below in Section 2.3(a). FHA Lender, Owner and Operator agree, that, in the event AR Lender seeks to enforce any of its remedies under the AR Loan Documents, AR Lender may have reasonable access to the Facility for any inspection and copying of the books and records of Operator relating to the AR Lender Priority Collateral and the FHA Lender Priority Collateral, provided that AR Lender shall promptly repair any damage to the Facility caused by AR Lender or its agents resulting from such inspection and copying. AR Lender agrees that, notwithstanding anything in the AR Loan Documents to the contrary: (i) AR Lender may not require Operator to deliver the books and records of Operator to AR Lender; and (ii) AR Lender’s rights to inspect and copy Operator’s books and records shall be limited to those rights set forth in the preceding sentence.

      2. Without limiting the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, FHA Lender may deliver to AR Lender a Cut-Off Time Notice. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Cut-Off Time, the AR Lender shall have a first and prior security interest in the AR Lender Priority Collateral, and FHA Lender shall have a subordinate lien in the AR Lender Priority Collateral, until the AR Loan Obligations are Paid in Full. Any Accounts arising from the delivery of goods and rendering of services by Operator at the Facility after the Cut-Off Time Notice, but prior to the Cut-Off Time, shall be AR Lender Priority Collateral notwithstanding the collection of the same after the Cut-Off Time. For the avoidance of doubt, FHA Lender shall have a first and prior security interest in any Accounts arising from the delivery of goods and rendering of services by Operator at the Facility on or after the Cut-Off Time with respect to the Facility (except to the extent AR Lender makes Protective Advances), and such Accounts shall be considered FHA Lender Priority Collateral and not AR Lender Priority Collateral. From and after the Cut-Off Time, all amounts received by AR Lender on account of the AR Lender Priority Collateral shall be applied solely to the AR Loan Obligations. Nothing herein shall prevent AR Lender from collecting the full amount of the AR Loan Obligations from any guarantors thereof and/or from collateral other than the AR Lender Priority Collateral and/or the FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral.

      3. If AR Lender’s security interest (as now or in the future existing) in the AR Lender Priority Collateral becomes, in whole or in part, for any reason, unperfected or is judicially or administratively determined to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, or is voided, in whole or in part, and as a result thereof, a creditor subordinate to AR Lender would have or would be entitled to claim, priority over the FHA Lender in the AR Lender Priority Collateral, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed as a subordination by FHA Lender to such other creditor.

      4. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement AR Loan Obligations shall not include indemnity obligations relating to any breach of this Agreement or relating to any dispute between AR Lender and FHA Lender or HUD.

      5. AR Lender agrees to exercise any rights of setoff against funds on deposit in Deposit Accounts maintained with AR Lender for application to AR Loan Obligations consistently with the priorities and provisions established under this Agreement.

    2. FHA Lender Priority.

(a) AR Lender and FHA Lender agree that, as between AR Lender and FHA Lender, subject to Section 2.2(b), at all times, whether before, during or after the pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding, and notwithstanding the taking of possession of, or other exercise of rights in respect of, the AR Lender Priority Collateral (or any portion thereof) or the priorities that ordinarily would result under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in each and every applicable jurisdiction, and as amended from time to time, and other applicable law for the order of granting or perfecting of any security interests referred to herein, FHA Lender shall have a first and prior security interest in, upon and to the FHA Lender Priority Collateral; and AR Lender hereby subordinates to FHA Lender AR Lender’s security interest, if any, in the FHA Lender Priority Collateral to secure the FHA-Insured Loan. AR Lender shall abide by the standstill provisions set forth below in Section 2.3(b). Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, AR Lender agrees to cause itself to be removed from any insurance policy and insurance certificate that has any designation of AR Lender as (a) loss payee or lender’s loss payee on any insurance with respect to any FHA Lender Priority Collateral upon which AR Lender does not have a subordinate lien as permitted by this Agreement and (b) primary loss payee or primary lender’s loss payee on any insurance with respect to any FHA Lender Priority Collateral upon which AR Lender has a subordinate lien permitted under this Agreement.

(b) If FHA Lender’s security interest (as now or in the future existing) in the FHA Lender Priority Collateral becomes, in whole or in part, for any reason, unperfected or is judicially or administratively determined to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, or is voided, in whole or in part, and as a result thereof, a creditor subordinate to FHA Lender would have or would be entitled to claim, priority over AR Lender in the FHA Lender Priority Collateral, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed as a subordination by AR Lender to such other creditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FHA Lender shall have a first priority security interest in the FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral applicable to the corresponding Facility, provided however, AR Lender shall have the ability to utilize the FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral solely to the extent necessary to exercise any of AR Lender’s rights and/or remedies (including without limitation billing and collecting the Operator’s accounts receivable and other assets comprising AR Lender Priority Collateral) under the AR Loan Documents.

(c) FHA Lender acknowledges that one or more of the Other Facilities, if any, may be subject to loans made by other HUD-approved lenders and insured or held by HUD. The AR Loan may provide financing for and may be secured by collateral pertaining to any or all of the Other Facilities. This Agreement is intended to set forth the priorities, rights, and responsibilities of FHA Lender vis-à-vis AR Lender, only, and shall not affect priorities of the FHA-Lender vis-a–vis any other lender of any Other Facilities.

    1. Standstill; Possession Date.

      1. Until the AR Loan Obligations have been Paid in Full, FHA Lender and Owner shall not exercise any remedies with regard to the AR Lender Priority Collateral (including without limitation pursuant of any remedies in conflict with section 2.9(c) below which includes, without limitation, notifying account debtors to redirect payment for such AR Lender Priority Collateral, changing or attempting to change any direction of payment or remittance instructions to account debtors for such AR Lender Priority Collateral to any deposit accounts other than those accounts into which Accounts have been paid historically, or any combination of the foregoing); provided however, that after a Triggering Event, the foregoing shall not prohibit the FHA Lender from (i) taking any action against the Operator with respect to any FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral (so long as such action does not compromise the AR Lender’s ability to bill and/or collect the AR Lender Priority Collateral), (ii) terminating an Owner-Operator Agreement, (iii) commencing an action for possession or for collection of rent or other monetary amounts due under such Owner-Operator Agreement or for specific enforcement of an Operator’s covenants under such Owner-Operator Agreement, so long as such actions do not comprise the exercise of a remedy with regard to AR Lender Priority Collateral, or (iv) pursuing the remedies specified in the definition of “Possession Date,” (v) taking steps to appoint a receiver or (vi) contacting the necessary authorities, which may include account debtors, to begin the process of transferring the license and/or any other necessary permits or approvals, and the assignment of the provider agreements from the incumbent Operator to a new operator.

      2. Until the FHA-Insured Loan Obligations have been Paid in Full, subject to AR Lender’s right to access the FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral set forth in Section 2.1 above, AR Lender shall not affirmatively exercise any remedies with regard to the FHA Lender Priority Collateral.

      3. Without limiting the foregoing, FHA Lender shall deliver to AR Lender ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of the commencement of any action or undertaking to take physical possession, control or management of the Facility (the “Possession Date Notice”). If a Cut-Off Time Notice has previously been issued, the Possession Date Notice shall have no effect on the Cut-Off Time. If no previous Cut-Off Time Notice has been issued, the Possession Date Notice shall serve as a Cut-Off Time Notice. If a Possession Date Notice is serving as Cut-Off Time Notice, notwithstanding the fact that FHA Lender or its designee may take physical possession, control or management of a Facility upon providing ten (10) Business Days’ notice to AR Lender, AR Lender shall have rights to and be entitled to the collections of all Accounts arising from the delivery of goods or rendering of services at the Facility for the period beginning on the date of the Possession Date Notice and continuing until the thirtieth (30th) day following a Possession Date Notice, without regard to whether such Accounts were generated in the name of Operator or in the name of any temporary or permanent replacement operator, manager or receiver.

      4. Without limiting any of its rights hereunder or under the AR Loan Documents, at any time after receiving a Cut-Off Time Notice or a Possession Date Notice, AR Lender shall have the right to cease making Advances. Irrespective of whether or not AR Lender makes any Advances (including Protective Advances) after receiving the Cut-Off Time Notice, it shall retain a first priority lien on all AR Lender Priority Collateral.

      5. Except as may be expressly set forth herein, including but not limited to in Section 2.6(b) hereof, FHA Lender, Owner, and Operator hereby agree that any AR Lender Priority Collateral and proceeds thereof, which may come into the possession of FHA Lender or Owner or Operator will be held in trust for AR Lender, and FHA Lender and Owner shall turn over any AR Lender Priority Collateral and/or proceeds thereof to AR Lender, in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, promptly upon receipt, until all of the AR Loan Obligations have been Paid in Full. Any replacement operator or receiver who commences operating the Facility shall agree in writing to abide by the provisions of this Section 2.3(e) to the extent it, or its new lender, if any, comes into possession of any AR Lender Priority Collateral, provided, however, failure to secure such written agreement shall not subject FHA Lender to any liability nor affect the subordination and lien priorities set forth in this Agreement.

      6. Any FHA Lender Priority Collateral that may come into the possession of AR Lender, Operator or Owner will be held in trust by AR Lender, Operator or Owner (as applicable), for FHA Lender, and such recipient shall turn over any FHA Lender Priority Collateral so received to FHA Lender in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, promptly upon receipt, until the FHA-Insured Loan Obligations have been Paid in Full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any replacement operator or receiver who commences operating the Facility shall agree in writing to abide by the provisions of this Section 2.3(f) to the extent it, or its new lender, if any, comes into possession of any FHA Lender Priority Collateral.

    2. No Contest.

      1. FHA Lender agrees that it will not make any assertion or claim in any action, suit or proceeding of any nature whatsoever in any way challenging the priority, validity or effectiveness of the liens and security interests granted to AR Lender with respect to the AR Lender Priority Collateral provided that, nothing in this Section 2.4(a) shall prevent FHA Lender from taking all appropriate steps to protect and preserve its priority in the circumstances contemplated in Section 2.1(b). FHA Lender further agrees that, subject to Section 2.2(b), AR Lender’s lien and security interest in the AR Lender Priority Collateral shall at all times, while any indebtedness or obligations under the AR Loan Documents are owing from Operator to AR Lender, be superior and prior to the liens and security interests granted to the FHA Lender in such AR Lender Priority Collateral, irrespective of the time, order or method of attachment or perfection of AR Lender’s and the FHA Lender’s liens and security interests, or the filing of financing statements, or the taking of possession of the FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral, or any portion thereof.

      2. AR Lender agrees that it will not make any assertion or claim in any action, suit or proceeding of any nature whatsoever in any way challenging the priority, validity or effectiveness of the liens and security interests granted to FHA Lender with respect to the FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral; provided that, nothing in this Section 2.4(b) shall prevent AR Lender from taking all appropriate steps to protect and preserve its priority in the circumstances contemplated in Section 2.2(b). AR Lender further agrees that FHA Lender’s lien and security interest in the FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral shall at all times while any indebtedness or obligations under the FHA-Insured Loan Documents are owing from the Owner to the FHA Lender, be superior and prior to the liens and security interests granted to AR Lender in such FHA Lender’s Priority Collateral, irrespective of the time, order or method of attachment or perfection of the FHA Lender’s liens and security interests, or the filing of financing statements or the taking of possession of the AR Lender Priority Collateral, or any portion thereof.

(c) AR Lender waives, in respect of FHA Lender, any and all rights under any theory of marshalling or ordering of the disposition of collateral and accordingly, AR Lender agrees that FHA Lender may (i) proceed directly against any collateral in which FHA Lender has a lien or security interest (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and/or any guarantor of the FHA-Insured Loan Obligations in any particular order and (ii) release, surrender, substitute or exchange any collateral and/or any guarantor at any time without affecting the agreements set forth in this Agreement. FHA Lender waives, in respect of AR Lender, any and all rights under any theory of marshalling or ordering of the disposition of collateral and accordingly, FHA Lender agrees that AR Lender may (A) proceed directly against any collateral in which AR Lender has a lien or security interest (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and/or any guarantor of the AR Loan Obligations in any particular order and (B) release, surrender, substitute or exchange any collateral and/or any guarantor at any time without affecting the agreements set forth in this Agreement.

    1. Releases; Bailee for Perfection.

      1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the FHA-Insured Loan Documents, the Operator Security Agreement or the Owner-Operator Agreement (or any sublease thereof), but subject to Section 2.5(b) below, FHA Lender agrees that in the event any AR Lender Priority Collateral (but not the AR Loan) is sold, transferred or conveyed or otherwise disposed of in conjunction with the exercise of AR Lender’s remedies against Operator under the AR Loan Documents, the FHA Lender shall release all of its rights to and interests in such AR Lender Priority Collateral. Nothing in this Section 2.5(a) shall require any release of the FHA Lender Priority Collateral. FHA Lender shall execute such release documents as AR Lender may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of this Section 2.5(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the AR Loan Documents, but subject to Section 2.5(b), AR Lender agrees that in the event any FHA Lender Priority Collateral (but not the FHA-Insured Loan) is sold, transferred or conveyed or otherwise disposed of in conjunction with the exercise of FHA Lender’s remedies under the FHA-Insured Loan Documents, AR Lender shall release all of its rights to and interests in (if any) such FHA Lender Priority Collateral and such property shall be transferred free and clear of all liens and security interests in favor of AR Lender. Nothing in this Section 2.5(a) shall require any release of the AR Lender Priority Collateral. AR Lender shall execute such release documents as FHA Lender may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of this Section 2.5(a).

      2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the proceeds of any sale of AR Lender Priority Collateral exceed the amount necessary to pay and satisfy in full the AR Loan Obligations, such excess shall be delivered to FHA Lender (to the extent that FHA Lender is otherwise entitled thereto in accordance with the FHA-Insured Loan Documents and/or applicable law) for application by FHA Lender pursuant to the FHA-Insured Loan Documents. To the extent that the proceeds of any sale of FHA Lender Priority Collateral exceed the amount necessary to pay and satisfy the FHA-Insured Loan Obligations in full, such excess shall be delivered to AR Lender (to the extent that AR Lender has a security interest in the FHA Lender Priority Collateral and is otherwise entitled thereto in accordance with the AR Loan Documents and/or applicable law) for application by AR Lender pursuant to the AR Loan Documents.

      3. In the event FHA Lender or its nominee purchases any AR Lender Priority Collateral (which it shall have no obligation to purchase), AR Lender agrees that upon receipt of the purchase price (i) all such AR Lender Priority Collateral so sold, and all liens or security interests therein, and all proceeds thereof, shall be deemed to be held by AR Lender as agent for the purchaser until effectively transferred to such purchaser’s ownership and control, (ii) AR Lender shall continue to receive such AR Lender Priority Collateral and proceeds thereof in existing lockbox or controlled deposit accounts until such purchaser has made alternative collection and deposit arrangements (which it shall arrange within thirty (30) days), and (iii) AR Lender shall remit all collections of such purchased AR Lender Priority Collateral in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6.

      4. With respect to any AR Lender Priority Collateral and/or FHA Lender Priority Collateral that FHA Lender cannot perfect a security interest in by filing a financing statement, and with respect to which AR Lender has perfected a security interest, AR Lender shall be deemed to be holding such AR Lender Priority Collateral and/or FHA Lender Priority Collateral as representative and bailee for FHA Lender for the purposes of perfection of FHA Lender’s liens thereon or therein under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in each applicable jurisdiction, and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that the failure of AR Lender to hold any such collateral shall not subject such AR Lender to any liability nor affect the subordination and lien priorities set forth in this Agreement.

    2. Return of Payments

      1. AR Lender agrees that, upon the AR Loan Obligations being Paid in Full, any AR Lender Priority Collateral and the proceeds thereof which may come into AR Lender’s possession will be held by it in trust for FHA Lender and it shall turn over any such AR Lender Priority Collateral and/or proceeds thereof to FHA Lender (or, at FHA’s direction, to a new lender who has entered into an intercreditor agreement with FHA Lender), in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements or in an amount equal to the proceeds received, promptly upon receipt.

      2. FHA Lender agrees that upon the FHA-Insured Loan Obligations being Paid in Full, except to the extent the FHA Lender Obligations are Paid in Full with the proceeds of replacement mortgage financing by a new lender that has entered into an intercreditor agreement with AR Lender, any FHA Lender Priority Collateral securing the AR Loan Obligations and proceeds thereof, which may come into FHA Lender’s possession, will be held by it in trust for AR Lender and it shall turn over any such FHA Lender Priority Collateral and/or proceeds thereof to AR Lender, in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements or in an amount equal to the proceeds received, promptly upon receipt.

    3. AR Loan Documents; Over-line Advances; Allowable Over-Advances.

      1. AR Lender represents and warrants that as of the date hereof Schedule 1 sets forth a list of the material documents evidencing or securing the AR Loan(s) and that true, correct and complete copies of the documents listed thereon have been provided to FHA Lender and its counsel.

      2. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or the AR Loan Documents, AR Lender shall not make Over-line Advances without prior written consent of FHA Lender and HUD (provided that HUD may be deemed to have given consent as set forth below in this section 2.7(b)), except for Protective Advances. “Over-line Advance” means an Advance in excess of the Maximum Commitment Amount. Upon the written request by AR Lender to FHA Lender to make an Over-line Advance, FHA Lender shall promptly (within one (1) Business Day) make such request of HUD and HUD will make commercially reasonable efforts to respond within ten (10) Business Days to any written request for consent to an Over-line Advance if such request is sent to the Director of HUD’s Office of Residential Care Facilities (or successor office) and supported by a documented collateral analysis showing sufficient eligible collateral so as to not exceed the borrowing base formula set forth in the AR Loan Documents; provided, however, that if HUD fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request from FHA Lender, such failure to respond shall be deemed to be a consent to the making of such Over-line Advance.

      3. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or the AR Loan Documents, AR Lender shall not make any Over-Advance, other than Allowable Over-Advances, without prior written consent of FHA Lender and HUD.

  1. Over-Advance” means any Advances made by AR Lender pursuant to the AR Loan Documents in excess of the borrowing base formula provisions set forth in the AR Loan Documents.



  1. Allowable Over-Advances” shall mean one or more Over-Advances which: (1) are advanced by AR Lender solely to be used by Operator for working capital purposes and/or to pay for costs and expenses incurred by the Operator relating to the operation of the Facility or Other Facilities (including, but not limited to payroll and related expenses, food and other dietary goods, pharmaceuticals, rent due pursuant to the Owner-Operator Agreement (if any), debt service on the FHA-Insured Loan Documents, or other amounts due pursuant to the Owner-Operator Agreement and/or FHA-Insured Loan Documents), (2) are due within 180 days; and (3) are accompanied by documentation (which documentation may include an amendment to the AR Loan Documents or letter to the Operator) dictating the amount and duration/due date of such Over-Advance and documentation (which may be from the Operator) indicating why such Over-Advance is necessary, provided that AR Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 4.5 of this Agreement to FHA Lender within five (5) Business Days of such Over-Advance and any extension of such Over-Advance; and provided further that failure by AR Lender to provide notice (or any required accompanying documentation) to FHA Lender within 5 Business Days shall not subject AR Lender to any liability hereunder nor affect the subordination and lien priorities set forth in this Agreement, and shall not cause any Over-Advance to not constitute an “Allowable Over-Advance” hereunder. FHA Lender will give HUD notice of any notice of an Over-Advance it receives. In no event shall the due date for an Allowable Over-Advance be extended beyond 180 days from the making of the Over-Advance without prior written consent from FHA Lender, provided that FHA Lender shall not provide consent without receiving HUD consent.

      1. Until the AR Loan Obligations are Paid in Full, without the prior written consent of FHA Lender, AR Lender shall not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify the AR Loan Documents in any way which, and AR Lender shall not take any action which, (i) results in the creation of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance in any collateral related to the Facility other than the security interests and liens in existence as of the date of this Agreement pursuant to the AR Loan Documents listed on Schedule 1, (ii) conflicts in any way with this Agreement, (iii) adds a term loan facility, equipment loan facility, or any additional credit facility other than the revolving loan facility and letter of credit subfacility set forth in the AR Loan Documents in existence as of the date of this Agreement, (iv) amends the definition of “Obligations” set forth in the AR Loan Agreement on the date hereof, or (v) materially and adversely affects the rights or interests of FHA Lender.   

      2. For the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting in any way the agreement of AR Lender set forth in subsection (d) immediately above, FHA Lender agrees that its consent shall not be required for any amendment or modification of any AR Loan Documents that increases the amount of the AR Loan in connection with the joinder of a co-borrower thereunder that is an operator of a nursing and/or assisted living facility that is encumbered by a mortgage loan held or insured by HUD; it being agreed and understood that, such joinder must be approved by HUD.

      3. AR Lender agrees to provide FHA Lender with true, correct and complete copies of any AR Loan Documents, including any amendments thereto, upon written request from FHA Lender. Operator shall provide copies of any and all amendments to the AR Loan Documents to FHA Lender prior to the effective date of any amendment. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit any Operator obligations to receive any necessary consents pursuant to the FHA-Insured Loan Documents.

      4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the FHA-Insured Loan Documents, it is hereby agreed that, without further approval by FHA Lender or HUD: [INSERT CHANGES/AMENDMENTS TO MATERIAL TERMS, IF ANY, THAT ORCF HAS PRE-APPROVED AND AGREED DO NOT REQUIRE FURTHER HUD CONSENT. FOR EXAMPLE: ]

        3. A modification or extension entered into in accordance with this Section 2.7(g) shall not be deemed to violate the requirement in the [Operator Regulatory Agreement] to obtain prior HUD consent to such modification; provided that, nothing herein shall be deemed to waive or limit the requirement to obtain such prior consent for any other modification of a Material Term (as defined in [the Operator Regulatory Agreement ) or any other extensions or interest rate change except as set forth in this Section 2.7(g).

    1. FHA-Insured Loan Documents. FHA Lender represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, Schedule 2 sets forth a list of certain material documents evidencing or securing the FHA-Insured Loan(s) and that true, correct and complete copies of the documents listed thereon have been provided to AR Lender and its counsel. FHA Lender agrees to provide AR Lender with true, correct and complete copies of any FHA-Insured Loan Documents, including any amendments thereto, upon written request from AR Lender.

    2. Deposit Account Control Agreements; Lien Releases.

      1. To the extent required by HUD, any deposit accounts into which the proceeds of Accounts are deposited, shall be subject to deposit account control agreements and/or deposit account instructions and services agreements, with each depository bank maintaining such deposit accounts (each, a “Depository Bank”) on terms approved by HUD.

      2. Upon the AR Loan Obligations being Paid in Full, AR Lender agrees to promptly notify the FHA Lender of such event, and AR Lender further agrees that it will execute any and all such termination statements or releases as may be necessary to release any lien on the Operator’s assets, including but not limited to the termination of (or, if FHA Lender and AR Lender are both a party to the same such agreement, release of AR Lender from) any deposit account control agreement, provider account agreement, blocked account agreement or lockbox agreement with any depository bank of Operator which holds or receives Operator’s Accounts. In the event any Party to this Agreement that has been Paid in Full fails to file any required releases and/or termination statements within ten (10) Business Days of the other Party’s timely demand therefor, the requesting Party hereby is authorized to file a copy of this Agreement in any appropriate UCC financing office as conclusive evidence of such (non-complying) Party’s release of its security interest in the AR Lender Priority Collateral, and any third Party shall be entitled to rely upon the filing of this Agreement as a full and complete release of such Party’s security interest.

      3. Until the AR Loan Obligations are Paid in Full, AR Lender will have the exclusive authority to exercise control (unless prohibited by law) over the Deposit Accounts and to provide appropriate instructions to the applicable Depository Bank. At such time that the AR Loan Obligations are Paid in Full, FHA Lender will have the exclusive authority to exercise control (unless prohibited by law) over the Deposit Accounts and to provide appropriate instructions to the applicable Depository Bank, and AR Lender will take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing, including, but not limited to, providing appropriate instructions to the applicable Depository Bank or terminating any deposit account control agreement, provider account agreement, blocked account agreement or lockbox agreement with any depository bank of Operator which holds or receives Operator’s Accounts. After a Cut-Off Time, the parties agree to coordinate the timing of instructions given to residents and third-party payors that identify new deposit accounts into which payments should be made. Without limiting anything set forth in Section 2.3(a), each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees to cooperate and work in good faith with each other in order to effectively and efficiently bill, invoice and collect all Accounts due from Operator’s account debtors and to promptly turn over any proceeds of Accounts to the party entitled to such proceeds.

  1. REPRESENTATIONS; COVENANTS

Operator has granted or will grant a security interest in its Accounts and certain other assets to FHA Lender and HUD (collectively, the “Senior Secured Parties”) pursuant to the Operator Security Agreement in connection with one or more loans provided to Owner by FHA Lender and insured by HUD (the “FHA-Insured Loan”).

    2. AR Lender consents to the Operator Security Agreement and the liens granted in favor of the Senior Secured Parties notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the AR Loan Documents.

[The parties acknowledge that such utilization of Advances may include and is subject to the Master Tenant’s rights to reallocate rent payments and the Operator’s obligations pursuant to that certain Cross-Default Guaranty entered into by Operator relating to the Facility (“Cross-Default Guaranty”) and that such reallocated rent payments or payments pursuant to the Cross-Default Guaranty shall be deemed Current Operating Costs for purposes of this Agreement.] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to any limitations in the AR Loan Documents and the Operator Regulatory Agreement), any distributions made by Operator to Operator's shareholders, partners, members or owners, as the case may be, shall be permitted to the extent, and only to the extent, allowed by that certain Healthcare Regulatory Agreement – Operator executed by Operator in connection with the Facility. AR Lender makes no representations or covenants with respect to Operator’s compliance with the terms of this Section 3.3.

      2. AR Lender funds AR Loan Advances. Operator, FHA Lender and AR Lender agree that no later than the [eighth (8th)] day of each calendar month (provided that if such day is not a Business Day then on the immediately preceding Business Day), [upon written request from Operator in accordance with the AR Loan Agreement, AR Lender shall disburse [, by wire transfer of immediately available funds as an Advance (to the extent of [Availability]) to [the account of FHA Mortgagee designated in writing by Operator to AR Lender] [a payment account designated in writing by Operator and from which FHA Mortgagee will either receive an automatic wire or access via the automated clearinghouse system], an amount equal to the Current Impositions, as defined below, as designated in writing to AR Lender by FHA Mortgagee, provided, however, that any Advance made pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in subsection (d) below.

      3. Current Impositions equals the sum of: [(i) the aggregate rent payable under the Owner-Operator Agreement for such month, [including any reallocated rent payments pursuant to the Master Lease and/or any payments due pursuant to the Cross-Default Guaranty]], [(ii) taxes and insurance due and owing with respect to the Owner-Operator Agreement for such month,] [and] [(iii) deposits to reserves required under the Owner-Operator Agreement.]

[The parties acknowledge that AR Loan Advances shall first be used to pay Current Impositions.] [FHA shall receive by automatic debit or FHA Lender shall have a right to withdraw from the account to which the AR Loan Advances are made] amounts at least equal to the Current Impositions. FHA Lender agrees to apply amounts received on account of Current Impositions toward payment of Owner’s monthly debt service obligations under the FHA-Insured Loan and to fund applicable escrow and reserve requirements, with the balance remaining of the payment so collected, if any, to be remitted by FHA Lender to [Owner] [promptly] [within two (2) Business Days] after receipt by FHA Lender.]
