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,
[insert Master Tenant, if Master Lease involved] 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 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 Priority Collateral applicable to the
corresponding Facility, provided however, AR Lender shall have the
ability to utilize the FHA Lender 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 [insert “and Master Tenant” if a Master Lease is
involved] shall not exercise any remedies with regard to the AR
Lender Priority Collateral (including without limitation 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 Deposit 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 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 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 2.1(b), AR
Lender’s lien and security interest in the AR Lender
Priority Collateral shall at all times, while AR Loan Obligations
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 Priority Collateral, or any portion thereof.

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

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 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 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.
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

Owner-Operator Agreement (or any sublease thereof), but subject to
Section 2.5(b) below, FHA Lender agrees that in the event

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

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).
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 Lender’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-Insured Loan
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;
Collateralization.
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 two (2)
Business Days) 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 provided by the AR
Lender 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).
“Cross-Collateralization
between HUD Projects and AR Loan”: [Insert ONE of the
following three choices, as applicable, and intentionally omit the
other two]
[Alternative 1] The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to
the AR Loan Documents, the Operator and each operator of the
Other Facilities is jointly and severally liable for repayment of
the AR loan and that the operator collateral related to the
Facility and each of the Other Facilities secures the AR Loan;
i.e. that the operator collateral regarding the Facility and each
of the Other Facilities are cross-collateralized to secure the AR
Loan. Such cross-collateralization has been approved by HUD.
[Alternative 2] [Describe any alternative arrangement
approved by HUD. For example, if any operator’s access to
AR loan is expressly limited to a particular dollar amount, then
the extent of cross-collateralization against such operator may
be required to be similarly limited]
[Alternative 3] [If the HUD projects are not
cross-collateralized insert “Not Applicable”]
“Use
of HUD projects to Pay or Collateralize Non-HUD Affiliated
Obligations Not Permitted” Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the AR Loan Documents, unless approved by HUD and
set forth in Section 1.7 hereof, AR Lender agrees that AR Lender
shall not use or apply any income of or property of any project
with an FHA-Insured Loan to pay or collateralize any Non-HUD
Affiliated Obligations. For purposes hereof, “Non-HUD
Affiliated Obligations” shall include any mortgage loan,
term loan, line of credit, accounts receivable financing loan, or
other credit arrangement from AR Lender (including any syndicate
lenders) or its affiliates, to parties that are affiliated with
the Operator, the operators of the Other Facilities, the owners of
the Facility or Other Facilities, or the Master Tenant.
AR
Lender certifies and agrees that (i) the AR Loan Documents do
not, and shall not, include any Non-HUD Affiliated Obligations as
part of the AR Loan Obligations, and shall not amend its documents
to include any such terms at any time without express, specific
prior HUD written approval, and (ii) neither the Operator, nor the
operators of the Other Facilities, nor any Owner or Master Tenant
of the Facility or the Other Facilities (A) are or at any time
shall become obligors or guarantors of any such Non-HUD Affiliated
Obligations or (B) have granted or shall grant any liens or
security interests to secure such Non-HUD Affiliated Obligations.
“Use
of Non-HUD project collateral to Secure HUD AR line”
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the AR Loan Documents,
AR Lender agrees that, if and to the extent that non-HUD project
collateral secures the AR Loan or any guarantee thereof, the costs
of entering into, negotiating, administering and enforcing the
documents evidencing such non-HUD collateral, including any
protective advances thereunder, shall not be charged to the AR
Loan or to the Operator or operators of the Other Facilities.
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 FHA-Insured Loans provided to Owner.
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 and consulting fees to unaffiliated management agents or
consultants (“Current Operating Costs”); (iii)
third, provided that no Event of Default exists under the
Owner-Operator Agreement or FHA-Insured Loan Documents, to pay
management and consulting fees to affiliated management agents and
(iv) after the payment of Current Operating Costs, and consulting
fees to affiliated management agents, 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 Operator Regulatory Agreement 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 Lender designated in
writing by Operator to AR Lender] [a payment account designated in
writing by Operator and from which FHA Lender 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 Lender,
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 Lender 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].
(e) 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 Lender
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.]
(f) 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.
(g) The signatures of Owner [insert “, Master Tenant”
if Master Lease involved] 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, [insert “, Master
Tenant” if Master Lease involved], Owner, or any owner, master
tenant, or operator of any of the Other Facilities, or officers,
members, managers, directors, stockholders, partners, or other
interest holders, employees or affiliates, or any member of their
respective immediate families, and/or the parent entity of Operator,
Master Tenant, Owner, or any owner, master tenant, or operator of any
of the Other Facilities, 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 provisions in
the AR Loan Documents that would entitle AR Lender to declare a
default under the AR Loan as a result of defaults under other
agreements by Operator or affiliates of Operator (“Cross-Defaults”)
are set forth on Exhibit B hereto, The Cross-Defaults have been
disclosed to and approved by HUD.
MISCELLANEOUS
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is entered into solely
for the benefit of AR Lender, FHA Lender, HUD, and their respective
successors and assigns, and neither Operator, Owner nor any other
persons or entities whatsoever, including but not limited to any
third party assignee, investor, incidental beneficiary or any
creditor of Operator or Owner (other than HUD), shall have any
right, benefit, priority or interest under or because of the
existence of this Agreement.
Amendment.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall not be
modified, amended or terminated orally but only in writing signed
by AR Lender, FHA Lender, Owner and Operator.
Bankruptcy
Financing. In the event of the commencement of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar type of proceeding filed by or
against the Operator (“Proceeding”), AR Lender
shall have the non-exclusive option (in its sole and absolute
discretion) to continue to provide financing (on terms acceptable
to AR Lender) to the trustee, other fiduciary or to the Operator as
a debtor-in-possession, if AR Lender deems such financing to be in
its best interests. The subordination and lien priority provisions
of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all AR Lender Priority
Collateral arising upon the commencement and during the pendency of
such Proceeding without regard as to whether a Cut-Off Time has
occurred prior to the commencement of such 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.
Relative
Rights; Cure Rights; Certain Notice Obligations of FHA Lender and
AR Lender.
This
Agreement is entered into solely for the purposes set forth
herein, and except as expressly provided herein, neither AR Lender

other party, or regarding any of Operator’s property, or
regarding any other circumstance bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the obligations of Operator or Owner under any of
the agreements referred to herein. Each of AR Lender and FHA
Lender shall be responsible for managing its financial
relationships with Operator and Owner, and neither shall be deemed
to be the agent of the other for any purpose.
AR
Lender and the FHA Lender agree to notify the other of any notice
of a “Notice Event” given to their respective borrower
under any of the AR Loan Documents or any of the FHA-Insured Loan
Documents as applicable; provided, that the failure to provide
such notice shall not subject such Party to any liability nor
affect the subordination and lien priorities set forth in this
Agreement. AR Lender and the FHA Lender shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to cure any payment default under the other
Party’s documents within ten (10) days after notice thereof.

shall mean (i) with regard to FHA Lender and the FHA-Insured Loan
Documents, a default by the borrower thereunder triggering FHA
Lender’s commencement of assignment to HUD of the
FHA-Insured Loan, an acceleration of the FHA-Insured Loan, a
foreclosure, or an action for the appointment of a receiver or
similar remedy, including any FHA-Insured Loan Triggering Event;
(ii) with regard to AR Lender and AR Loan Documents, any event
which results in AR Lender having Ceased Funding or accelerating
the AR Loan Obligations or the AR Loan Obligations accelerating
automatically in accordance with the terms of the AR Loan

lenders or participants may have an identity of interest with
Operator, field counsel may request additional reasonable
assurances here.]
Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Parties hereto and their legal representatives, successors and
assigns, provided, however, that each of the parties hereto further
agrees to provide the other party with written notice of any such
