acceleration is timely waived, cured, unwound or otherwise
disregarded by the AR Lender who continues to fund).
PRIORITIES
AR Lender Priority.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Standstill;
Possession Date.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No Contest.
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.
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

any collateral and/or any guarantor at any time without affecting the
agreements set forth in this Agreement.
Releases; Bailee for Perfection.
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

effectuate the terms of this Section 2.5(a).
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.
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.
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.
Return of Payments
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.
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.
AR Loan Documents; Over-line
Advances; Allowable Over-Advances.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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: ]
The AR Loan
may be extended, for an additional period or periods, but not
beyond [insert date approved by ORCF], and provided
that any such extension must be on the same terms and conditions
except as set forth in subdivision (ii) hereof, if applicable;
[if
interest rate change parameters are also approved by ORCF add the
following] Each such extension may be accompanied by an
interest rate change, but solely within the following parameters:
[insert parameters approved by ORCF];
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).
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.
Deposit Account Control Agreements;
Lien Releases.
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.
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.
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.
REPRESENTATIONS; COVENANTS
Operator operates the Facility. 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”).
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. This Intercreditor Agreement sets forth the relative
priorities of AR Lender and the Senior Secured Parties in and to
the assets of Operator.
3.3 Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4 below, the
Parties acknowledge that funds received by Operator from AR Lender
(“AR Loan Advances”) shall be utilized (i) first,
to pay current debt service obligations of Operator to AR Lender with
respect to the Facility, (ii) second, to pay Operator’s costs
of operations with respect to the Facility including, but not limited
to, rent and all other payment obligations due under the
Owner-Operator Agreement, payroll and payroll taxes, ordinary
maintenance and repairs and management fees (“Current
Operating Costs”) and (iii) after the payment of Current
Operating Costs, subject to applicable restrictions, if any, in the
AR Loan Documents and the Operator Regulatory Agreement, AR Loan
Advances may be distributed to Operator’s shareholders,
partners, members or owners, as the case may be. [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.
[The terms of this Section 3.4 are not standardized and
are meant to be revised by the Closing Attorney, with ORCF Closer
consent, as agreed to by all parties to reflect the deal-specific
circumstances and agreements. Some common provisions are suggested
below.]
3.4 AR Loan Advances Payment Structure.
Control of Operator’s Deposit
Accounts. Operator, FHA Lender and AR Lender agree and
certify to the existence of deposit account control agreements or
like agreements relating to Operator’s deposit accounts:
[Describe deal-specific arrangement as to who has primary
control of Operator’s deposit accounts.]
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.
“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.]
AR Lender agrees that it shall make the
Advance as described in subsection (b) above unless (i) there is
not sufficient [Availability], or (ii) a default or event
of default shall exist or be continuing under the AR Loan
Agreement, or (iii) Operator fails to satisfy all conditions
precedent thereto as set forth in the AR Loan Documents. After
payment of the Current Impositions and subject to applicable
restrictions in the AR Loan Documents, any remaining Advances may
be made as directed by Operator. [Operator agrees to promptly,
but in no event later than the eighth (8th)
day of each calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business
Day if such day is not a Business Day), notify FHA Mortgagee and
Owner in accordance with Section 4.5 if there
is not sufficient Availability for AR Lender to make the
disbursement set forth in this Section 3.4].
(d) Use of AR Loan Advances to satisfy FHA-Insured Loan Current
Impositions. [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.]
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (whether express or
implied) to the contrary, Senior Secured Parties, Operator and Owner
acknowledge and agree that (i) AR Lender shall have no liability to
any Senior Secured Parties, Operator or Owner for computation or
verification of the Current Impositions nor the actual use of
proceeds of AR Loan by Operator, and (ii) none of Senior Secured
Parties nor Owner shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of
any financing relationship between Operator and AR Lender, and Senior
Secured Parties and Owner hereby expressly waive and relinquish their
respective rights to claim otherwise. Notwithstanding anything
herein (whether express or implied) to the contrary, to the extent
FHA Lender receives Current Impositions or the proceeds thereof, FHA
Lender shall be entitled to retain the same and shall not be required
to hold the same in trust or to disgorge the same to AR Lender,
irrespective of whether the same constitutes proceeds of AR Lender
Priority Collateral. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, FHA Lender
agrees that in the event AR Lender notifies FHA Lender that Current
Impositions are being paid improperly with AR Lender Priority
Collateral and not in the manner set forth in this Section 3.4,
FHA Lender agrees to hold any such improperly paid amounts received
thereafter in trust for AR Lender as AR Lender Priority Collateral.]
(f) The signatures of Owner and Operator below shall confirm their
respective agreement to the collection, payment and disbursement of
the amounts set forth herein.
3.5 Except as set forth herein, Operator certifies that there are no
proposed agreements, arrangements, understandings or transactions
(side deals) outside of the AR Loan Documents that utilize the
Accounts of Operator as security for any other obligations. Operator
agrees that Operator shall not be a guarantor or party to any other
accounts receivable financing agreement without the consent of FHA
Lender and HUD.
3.6 Except as set forth herein or as otherwise disclosed to and
approved by HUD in writing, (a) AR Lender and Operator certify and
agree that there are no existing or proposed agreements,
arrangements, understandings or transactions that involve the
Facility (side deals) between (i) Operator (or any of Operator’s
officers, members, managers, directors, stockholders, partners, or
other interest holders, employees or affiliates, or any member of
their respective immediate families, and/or its parent entity), and
(ii) AR Lender; (b) FHA Lender and Operator certify and agree that
there are no existing or proposed agreements, arrangements,
understandings or transactions that involve the Facility (side deals)
between (i) Operator (or any of Operator’s officers, members,
managers, directors, stockholders, partners, or other interest
holders, employees or affiliates, or any member of their respective
immediate families, and/or its parent entity), and (ii) FHA Lender;
and (c) AR Lender and Operator certify that, notwithstanding anything
else in the AR Loan Documents, neither the AR Lender Priority
Collateral nor the FHA Lender Priority Collateral shall secure any
obligations to the AR Lender, or any of its affiliates (including any
lender under the AR Loan Documents), relating to projects other than
the Facility or Other Facilities. AR Lender and Operator certify and
agree that any and all cross-default provisions have been disclosed
to and approved in writing by HUD.

Proceeding, so that AR Lender shall have a prior lien on all AR
Lender Priority Collateral, created before and during such
Proceeding (to the extent AR Lender provides such financing during
the Proceeding or to the extent Operator is granted the right to
use, sell, or otherwise dispose of cash collateral during any such
Proceeding), to secure the AR Loans, whether advanced before or
during such Proceeding.
