Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 29, 2016, we entered into a transaction agreement, or the Transaction Agreement, and related agreements, or, collectively, the Transaction Documents, with Five Star.  Pursuant to the Transaction Documents, among other things, on June 29, 2016, we and Five Star completed a sale and leaseback transaction with respect to certain senior living communities owned by Five Star and amended the management and related pooling arrangements for certain senior living communities we own that are managed by Five Star.  Significant terms of the Transaction Documents are summarized below.

 

·                  Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, we and Five Star entered into a purchase and sale agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, whereby we purchased seven senior living communities from Five Star for an aggregate purchase price of $112.4 million, and we and Five Star simultaneously entered into a new long term lease agreement, or the New Lease, whereby we have leased those seven senior living communities to Five Star.

 

·                  Pursuant to the New Lease, Five Star is required to pay us annual rent of approximately $8.4 million, plus, beginning in 2018, percentage rent equal to 4% of the amount by which gross revenues, as defined in the New Lease, of each community exceeds gross revenues of such community in 2017.  The initial term of the New Lease expires on December 31, 2028, subject to Five Star’s options to extend the term of the New Lease for two consecutive 15-year terms.  Pursuant to the New Lease, Five Star may request that we purchase certain improvements to the communities in return for rent increases in accordance with the formula specified in the New Lease; however, we are not obligated to purchase such improvements and Five Star is not required to sell them to us.  Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, we have the right, in connection with a financing or other capital raising transaction, to reassign one or more of the communities covered by the New Lease to another existing or new long term lease agreement between us and Five Star.  Other terms of the New Lease are substantially similar to those of our other four pre-existing long term leases with Five Star, such terms being described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, or our Annual Report, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

 

·                  Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, our three existing pooling agreements with Five Star that combined certain of our management agreements with Five Star for senior living communities that include assisted living units, or AL Management Agreements, were terminated.  Also pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, we entered into 10 new pooling agreements with Five Star, or the New Pooling Agreements.  Nine of the New Pooling Agreements combine six AL Management Agreements and one of the New Pooling Agreements currently combines five AL Management Agreements.  Each New Pooling Agreement combines various calculations of revenues and expenses from the operations of the applicable communities covered by such New Pooling Agreement.

 

·                  Pursuant to the New Pooling Agreements, the AL Management Agreements covered by each New Pooling Agreement generally provide Five Star with a management fee equal to either 3% or 5% of the gross revenues realized at such communities plus reimbursement for its direct costs and expenses related to such communities, as well as an annual incentive fee equal to either 35% or 20% of the annual net operating income of such communities remaining after we realize an annual minimum return equal to either 8% or 7% of our invested capital, or, in the case of nine communities, a specified amount plus 7% of our invested capital since December 31, 2015.  The calculations of Five Star’s fees and of our annual minimum return related to any AL Management Agreement that became effective before May 2015 and had been pooled under one of the previously existing pooling agreements are generally the same as they were under the previously existing pooling agreements.  However, with respect to certain communities, our annual minimum return was reduced to 7%, and also, with respect to the nine

 



 

communities referenced above, our annual minimum return was reset as of 2016 to the specified amounts.  With regard to AL Management Agreements that became effective from and after May 2015, the management fee was changed to 5%, rather than the prior 3%, of the gross revenues realized at the applicable community, and the incentive fee was changed to 20%, rather than the prior 35%, of the annual net operating income of the applicable community remaining, in all cases after we realize our requisite annual minimum return.  Pursuant to the New Pooling Agreements, we will pay Five Star a fee for its management of capital expenditure projects equal to 3% of amounts funded by us.

 

·                  The terms of the AL Management Agreements covered by the New Pooling Agreements expire between 2030 and 2039 and are subject to automatic renewals, unless earlier terminated or timely notices of nonrenewal are delivered.  The right that we and Five Star each had under the AL Management Agreements that became effective from and after May 1, 2015 to terminate each such AL Management Agreement as of December 31, 2016 was eliminated pursuant to the applicable New Pooling Agreement.  Five Star has a limited right under the AL Management Agreements to require underperforming communities to be sold, and we have the right to terminate all the AL Management Agreements subject to a New Pooling Agreement if we do not receive our annual minimum return under such New Pooling Agreement in each of three consecutive years, commencing with calendar year 2016, subject to certain Five Star cure rights.

 

·                  The New Pooling Agreements collectively combine all AL Management Agreements except for the management agreement related to one assisted living community located in New York and the management agreement related to one assisted living community located in California, and, other than as described below, the terms of those management agreements were not amended as part of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  The terms of our existing pooling agreement with Five Star that combines our management agreements with Five Star for senior living communities that include only independent living units, and the terms of those management agreements, also were not amended as part of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

·                  Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, we and Five Star amended the management agreement for one California community so that the calculation of our annual minimum return under that agreement is fixed at $3.6 million plus 7% of any amount funded by us for capital expenditures at this community since December 31, 2015.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Transaction Documents, including the Transaction Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the New Lease and the New Pooling Agreements, and of the AL Management Agreements, are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements and all exhibits and schedules thereto, copies of which are filed with this Current Report, or incorporated by reference herein, as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.14 and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto.

 

Information Regarding Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions

 

Five Star was our 100% owned subsidiary until we distributed its common shares to our shareholders in 2001.  We are Five Star’s largest stockholder.  As of March 31, 2016, we owned 4,235,000 of Five Star’s common shares, representing approximately 8.6% of Five Star’s outstanding common shares.  Five Star is our largest tenant and a manager of certain of our senior living communities.  Mr. Barry Portnoy, one of our Managing Trustees, is a managing director of Five Star.  We have significant continuing relationships with Five Star, including the leases and the management and related pooling arrangements referred to in this Current Report.  Mr. Barry Portnoy, and his son, Mr. Adam Portnoy, who is our other Managing Trustee, together own a controlling interest in, and are officers and employees of, The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, which provides management services both to us and to Five Star, and are directors and officers of The RMR Group Inc., or RMR Inc., the managing member of RMR LLC.  We own shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc.  Each of our executive

 

2



 

officers is also an officer of RMR LLC, and certain executive officers of Five Star are also employed by RMR LLC.  Certain of our Independent Trustees also serve as independent trustees or independent directors of other public companies to which RMR LLC provides management services.  Mr. Barry Portnoy serves as a managing trustee or managing director of those companies and Mr. Adam Portnoy serves as a managing trustee of a majority of those companies.

 

Because of the continuing relationships between us and Five Star, the terms of the Transaction Documents were negotiated and approved by special committees of our Board of Trustees and Five Star’s board of directors composed of our Independent Trustees and Five Star’s independent directors who are not also Trustees or directors of the other party, which committees were represented by separate counsel.

 

For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, please see our Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or our Proxy Statement, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, or our Quarterly Report, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, the sections captioned “Business”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Related Person Transactions” and “Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements” of our Annual Report, the section captioned “Related Person Transactions” and the information regarding our Directors and executive officers in our Proxy Statement and Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Quarterly Report and the sections captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Related Person Transactions” and “Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements” of our Quarterly Report.  In addition, please see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other such relationships and related person transactions.  Our filings with the SEC and copies of certain of our agreements with these related parties are publicly available as exhibits to our public filings with the SEC and accessible at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.

SECTION 6
MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1          Disputes.  Notwithstanding anything in the Existing Arrangements to the contrary, the parties agree:

 

(1)           Disputes.  Any disputes, claims or controversies between the parties (a) arising out of or relating to the Existing Arrangements, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or (b) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of any party or a direct or indirect parent of a party (which, for purposes of this Section 6.1, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of any party, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of any party), either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of any party or on behalf of any series or class of shares of any party or shareholders of any party against any party or any member, trustee, officer, manager (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agent or employee of any party, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of the Existing Arrangements or the Transaction Documents, including this arbitration provision, or the declarations of trust, limited liability company agreements, charters, bylaws or other governing documents of any party hereto (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section 6.1.  For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against trustees, officers or managers of any party and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and any party.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.  For purposes of this Section 6.1, the term “party” shall include any direct or indirect parent of a party.

 

(2)           Selection of Arbitrators.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten

 

9



 

(10) days to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

(3)           Location of Arbitration.  The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

(4)           Scope of Discovery.  There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

(5)           Arbitration Award.  In rendering an award or decision (the “Arbitration Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland.  Any arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Arbitration Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

(6)           Costs.  Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys.  Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

(7)           Final Judgment.  An Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued

 

10



 

hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(8)           Payment.  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Each party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

 

(9)           Intended Beneficiaries.  This Section 6.1 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

6.2          Confidentiality.  Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of any information concerning the parties or any subsidiary of another party provided to or discovered by it or its representatives as a result of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents and which is not otherwise available on a nonconfidential basis to such party and shall not (except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or the rules and regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange) disclose such information, subject to the provisions of this Section, to anyone other those persons who have a need to know such information in connection with the conduct of such party’s business, including its attorneys, accountants and other representatives and agents or during the course of or in connection with any litigation or other action, arbitration, investigation or other proceeding based upon or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

6.3          Publicity.  The parties agree that, except as required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules and regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Securities and Exchange Commission), no party shall, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, contact or conduct negotiations with public officials, make any public pronouncements, issue press releases or otherwise furnish information regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any third party without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No FVE Party shall trade in the securities of any SNH Party or any of their affiliates, and no SNH Party shall trade in the securities of any FVE Party or any of their affiliates, until a public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made.  No party shall record this Agreement or any notice thereof.

 

6.4          Notices.

13



 

provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

6.8          Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.2        Selection of Arbitrators.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third

 

12



 

arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

11.3        Location of Arbitration.  The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

11.4        Scope of Discovery.  There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

11.5        Arbitration Award.  In rendering an award or decision (the “Arbitration Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland.  Any arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Arbitration Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

11.6        Costs.  Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys.  Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

11.7        Final Judgment.  An Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

11.8        Payment.  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Each party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

 

11.9        Intended BeneficiariesThis Section 11 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as

 

13



 

applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

Section 12Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Tenant agrees that its obligations and the rights of the Secured Party hereunder and in respect of the Obligations may be enforced by specific performance hereof and thereof and by temporary, preliminary and/or final injunctive relief relating hereto and thereto, without necessity for proof by the Secured Party or any holder of the Obligations that it would otherwise suffer irreparable harm, and Tenant hereby consents to the issuance of such specific and injunctive relief.

(d)           The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by, (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of Tenant; (ii) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement, Lease No. 5 or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith, the Obligations or any security for any of the Obligations; or (iii) any amendment to or modification of any of Lease No. 5 or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith, the Obligations or any security for any of the Obligations; whether or not Tenant shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.  The rights and remedies of the Secured Party herein provided for are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Party would otherwise have, including, without limitation, under Lease No. 5 or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith.  This Agreement is intended as a supplement for and is not intended to supersede in any respect Lease No. 5 or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith.

 

(e)           This Agreement shall be binding upon Tenant and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party, and its respective successors and assigns.  All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

(f)            The descriptive headings of the several sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

(g)           Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibitions or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(h)           This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to contracts between residents of Massachusetts which are to be performed entirely within Massachusetts, regardless of (i) where this Agreement is executed or delivered; or (ii) where any payment or other performance required by this Agreement is made or required to be made; or (iii) where any breach of any provision of this Agreement occurs, or any cause of action otherwise accrues; or (iv) where any action or other proceeding is instituted or pending; or (v) the nationality, citizenship, domicile, principle place of business, or jurisdiction of organization or domestication of any party; or (vi) whether the laws of the forum jurisdiction otherwise would apply the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; or (vii) any combination of the foregoing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that matters of title, or creation, perfection and priority of the security interests created hereby, or procedural issues of foreclosures are required to be governed by the laws of the state in which the Collateral, or relevant part thereof, is located, the laws of such State shall apply.

SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (this “Sublease”) is entered into as of June [·], 2016, by and between [·], a [·], as sublandlord (“Sublandlord”), and [·], a [·], as subtenant (“Subtenant”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS, [·], a [·], as landlord (“Landlord”), and Sublandlord, as tenant, are parties to that certain Master Lease Agreement (Lease No. 5), of even date herewith, as amended from time to time (as so amended, the “Lease”), pursuant to which Landlord leases to Sublandlord and Sublandlord leases from Landlord the Leased Property, as more particularly described in the Lease, which Leased Property includes that certain Property related to the parcel of land described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Subleased Property”); and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the execution and delivery of the Lease, Sublandlord wishes to sublease to Subtenant and Subtenant wishes to sublease from Sublandlord the Subleased Property as hereinafter provided;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Lease.

 

2.                                      Sublease.  Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord, all of Sublandlord’s right, title and interest in, to, under and relating to the Subleased Property, including, without limitation, any leasehold rights of Sublandlord relating to the use or occupancy thereof.

 

3.                                      Term.  The term of this Sublease commences on the date hereof and shall expire simultaneously with the expiration or sooner termination of the term of the Lease with respect to the Subleased Property.

 

4.                                      Rent.  Commencing on the date hereof, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of the Lease, all amounts due and payable by Sublandlord under the Lease with respect to the Subleased Property.  The Minimum Rent shall be adjusted following any disbursement by Landlord with respect to the Subleased Property in accordance with Section 3.1.1(c) of the Lease, and Minimum Rent hereunder may be adjusted to reflect the allocation and reallocation of Minimum Rent among the Leased Property (including, without limitation, the Subleased Property) by agreement between Landlord and Sublandlord in accordance with Section 3.1.1(b) of the Lease.

 



 

5.                                      Incorporation of Lease.  Article 12 of the Lease is hereby incorporated by reference except that “Landlord” shall be “Sublandlord” and “Tenant” shall be “Subtenant”; and Section 16.2 of the Lease is incorporated herein by reference.  Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for any damages Sublandlord incurs under the Lease or any Incidental Document as a direct or indirect result of breach of any of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease.  Subtenant shall observe and perform for the benefit of Sublandlord all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease which Sublandlord, as tenant under the Lease, is obligated to observe and perform with respect to the Subleased Property for the benefit of Landlord including complying with and performing the obligations in Sections 5.3 and 21.1 through 21.5 of the Lease as if Subtenant were “Tenant” described therein, except that the first sentence of Section 21.2 of the Lease shall not apply to Subtenant.  Subtenant shall not do, omit to do or permit to be done or omitted any act which could constitute a breach or default under the terms of the Lease or result in the termination of the Lease by Landlord with respect to the Subleased Property.

 

6.                                      No Assignment or Subletting.  Subtenant shall not assign or sublease, directly or indirectly, the Subleased Property without the prior consent of Sublandlord and otherwise in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit Subtenant from permitting patients or residents to occupy the Facility located on the Subleased Property in the ordinary course of Subtenant’s business and in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Lease.

2.                                      Guaranteed Obligations.  For purposes of this Guaranty the term “Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean the payment and performance of each and every obligation of Tenant to Landlord under Lease No. 5 and the Lease No. 5 Documents or relating thereto, whether now

3.2  Performance of Covenants and Agreements.  Each Subtenant Guarantor hereby agrees to take all lawful action in its power to cause Tenant duly and punctually to perform all of the covenants and agreements set forth in the Lease No. 5 Documents.

 

3.3  Validity of Agreement.  Each Subtenant Guarantor has duly and validly executed and delivered this Guaranty; this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subtenant Guarantor, enforceable against such Subtenant Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general equitable principles, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been duly authorized by all requisite action of such Subtenant Guarantor and such execution, delivery and performance by such Subtenant Guarantor will not result in any breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of such Subtenant Guarantor pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, other evidence of indebtedness, agreement or other instrument to which it may be a party or by which it or any of its property or assets may be bound, or violate any provision of law, or any applicable order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or any order or other public regulation of any governmental commission, bureau or administrative agency.

 

3.4  Payment of Expenses.  Each Subtenant Guarantor agrees, as principal obligor and not as guarantor only, to pay to Landlord forthwith, upon demand, in immediately available federal funds, all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred or expended by Landlord in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from the time such amounts become due until payment at the Overdue Rate.  The Subtenant Guarantors’ covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 3.4 shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.

 

3.5  Notices.  Each Subtenant Guarantor shall promptly give notice to Landlord of any event known to it which might reasonably result in a material adverse change in its financial condition.

 

3.6  Reports.  Each Subtenant Guarantor shall promptly provide to Landlord each of the financial reports, certificates and other documents required of it under the Lease No. 5 Documents.

3.7  Books and Records.  Each Subtenant Guarantor shall at all times keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of its transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall set aside on its books from its earnings for each fiscal year all such proper reserves, including reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence and amortization of its properties during such fiscal year, as shall be required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, in connection with its business.  Each Subtenant Guarantor shall permit access by Landlord and its agents to the books and records maintained by such Subtenant Guarantor during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice.  Any proprietary information obtained by Landlord with respect to such Subtenant Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty shall be treated as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed or used, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards, pursuant to any court order or in any litigation between the parties and except further that Landlord may disclose such information to its prospective lenders, provided that Landlord shall direct such lenders to maintain such information as confidential.

 

3.8  Taxes, Etc.  Each Subtenant Guarantor shall pay and discharge promptly as they become due and payable all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Subtenant Guarantor or the income of such Subtenant Guarantor or upon any of the property, real, personal or mixed, of such Subtenant Guarantor, or upon any part thereof, as well as all claims of any kind (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien or charge upon any property and result in a material adverse change in the financial condition of such Subtenant Guarantor; provided, however, that such Subtenant Guarantor shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or other appropriate actions promptly initiated and diligently conducted and if such Subtenant Guarantor shall have set aside on its books such reserves of such Subtenant Guarantor, if any, with respect thereto as are required by generally accepted accounting principles.

 

3.9  Legal Existence of Subtenant Guarantors. Each Subtenant Guarantor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence.

 

3.10  Compliance.  Each Subtenant Guarantor shall use reasonable business efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including, without limitation, applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to environmental, safety and other similar standards or controls).

 

3.11  Insurance.  Each Subtenant Guarantor shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by owners of established reputation engaged in the same or similar businesses and similarly situated, in such amounts and by such methods as shall be customary for such owners and deemed adequate by such Subtenant Guarantor.

 

3.12  Financial Statements, Etc.  The financial statements previously delivered to Landlord by each Subtenant Guarantor, if any, fairly present the financial condition of such

 

3



 

Subtenant Guarantor in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and there has been no material adverse change from the date thereof through the date hereof.

 

3.13  No Change in Control.  No Subtenant Guarantor shall permit the occurrence of any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant or of such Subtenant Guarantor.

 

4.                                      Guarantee.  Each Subtenant Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations which are monetary obligations shall be paid in full when due and payable, whether upon demand, at the stated or accelerated maturity thereof pursuant to any Lease No. 5 Document, or otherwise, and that the Guaranteed Obligations which are performance obligations shall be fully performed at the times and in the manner such performance is required by the Lease No. 5 Documents.  With respect to the Guaranteed Obligations which are monetary obligations, this guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collectability and is absolute and in no way conditional or contingent.  In case any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid when due and payable or performed at the time performance is required, the Subtenant Guarantors shall, in the case of monetary obligations, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice from Landlord, pay or cause to be paid to Landlord the amount thereof as is then due and payable and unpaid (including interest and other charges, if any, due thereon through the date of payment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease No. 5 Documents) or, in the case of non-monetary obligations, perform or cause to be performed such obligations in accordance with the Lease No. 5 Documents.

 

5.                                      Set-Off.  Each Subtenant Guarantor hereby authorizes Landlord, at any time and without notice, to set off the whole or any portion or portions of any or all sums credited by or due from Landlord to it against amounts payable under this Guaranty.  The Landlord shall promptly notify such Subtenant Guarantor of any such set-off made by Landlord and the application made by Landlord of the proceeds thereof.

 

6.                                      Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations, Etc.  If Tenant is for any reason under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than because the same have been previously discharged in accordance with the terms of the Lease No. 5 Documents), or if any other moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become unrecoverable from Tenant by operation of law or for any other reason, including, without limitation, the invalidity or irregularity in whole or in part of any Guaranteed Obligation or of any Lease No. 5 Document or any limitation on the liability of Tenant thereunder not contemplated by the Lease No. 5 Documents or any limitation on the method or terms of payment thereunder which may now or hereafter be caused or imposed in any manner whatsoever, the guarantees contained in this Guaranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon each Subtenant Guarantor to the same extent as if such Subtenant Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all such Guaranteed Obligations.

 

7.                                      Additional Guarantees.  This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guarantee or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guarantee or security or by any waiver, amendment, release or modification thereof.

 

4



 

8.                                      Consents and Waivers, Etc.  Each Subtenant Guarantor hereby acknowledges receipt of correct and complete copies of each of the Lease No. 5 Documents, and consents to all of the terms and provisions thereof, as the same may be from time to time hereafter amended or changed in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and, except as otherwise provided herein, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, waives (a) presentment, demand for payment, and protest of nonpayment, of any principal of or interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of diligence, presentment, demand and protest, (c) notice of any default hereunder and any default, breach or nonperformance or Event of Default under any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Lease No. 5 Documents, (d) notice of the terms, time and place of any private or public sale of any collateral held as security for the Guaranteed Obligations, (e) demand for performance or observance of, and any enforcement of any provision of, or any pursuit or exhaustion of rights or remedies against Tenant or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, under or pursuant to the Lease No. 5 Documents, or any agreement directly or indirectly relating thereto and any requirements of diligence or promptness on the part of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations in connection therewith, and (f) to the extent such Subtenant Guarantor lawfully may do so, any and all demands and notices of every kind and description with respect to the foregoing or which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and any defense of any kind which it may now or hereafter have with respect to this Guaranty, or any of the Lease No. 5 Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations (other than that the same have been discharged in accordance with the Lease No. 5 Documents).

 

9.                                      No Impairment, Etc.  The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of each of the Subtenant Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired by any assignment or transfer in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations without notice to each such Subtenant Guarantor, or any waiver by Landlord or any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or by the holders of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the performance or observance by Tenant or any other guarantor of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Guaranteed Obligations or the Lease No. 5 Documents or any indulgence in or the extension of the time for payment by Tenant or any other guarantor of any amounts payable under or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or the Lease No. 5 Documents or any other instrument or agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or of the time for performance by Tenant or any other guarantor of any other obligations under or arising out of any of the foregoing or the extension or renewal thereof (except that with respect to any extension of time for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations granted by Landlord or any other holder of such Guaranteed Obligations to Tenant, such Subtenant Guarantor’s obligations to pay or perform such Guaranteed Obligation shall be subject to the same extension of time for performance), or the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of Tenant or any other guarantor set forth in any of the foregoing, or the voluntary or involuntary sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any other guarantor or insolvency, bankruptcy, or other similar proceedings affecting Tenant or any other guarantor or any assets of Tenant or any such other guarantor, or the release or discharge of Tenant or any such other guarantor from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of the foregoing without the consent of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.

10.                               Reimbursement, Subrogation, Etc.  Each Subtenant Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that it will not enforce or otherwise exercise any rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other similar rights against Tenant (or any other person against whom Landlord may proceed) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations prior to the payment in full of all amounts owing with respect to Lease No. 5, and until all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord shall have been paid in full, no Subtenant Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation, and each Subtenant Guarantor waives any defense it may have based upon any election of remedies by Landlord which destroys its subrogation rights or its rights to proceed against Tenant for reimbursement, including, without limitation, any loss of rights such Subtenant Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of Tenant in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging the indebtedness to Landlord.  Until all obligations of Tenant pursuant to the Lease No. 5 Documents shall have been paid and satisfied in full, each Subtenant Guarantor further waives any right to enforce any remedy which Landlord now has or may in the future have against Tenant, any other guarantor or any other person and any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security whatsoever now or in the future held by Landlord.

 

11.                               Defeasance.  This Guaranty shall terminate at such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full and all other obligations of the Subtenant Guarantors to Landlord under this Guaranty have been satisfied in full; provided, however, if at any time, all or any part of any payment applied on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Tenant), this Guaranty, to the extent such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, shall be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding any such termination.

(b)  All notices required or permitted to be sent hereunder shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Guaranty upon confirmation of transmission by sender’s machine in the case of a notice by facsimile, and, in all other cases, upon the date of receipt or refusal, except that whenever under this Guaranty a notice is either received on a day which is not a Business Day or is required to be delivered on or before a specific day which is not a Business Day, the day of receipt or required delivery shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day.

15.                               Arbitration.

 

15.1                        Disputes.  Any disputes, claims or controversies between the parties (a) arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, or (b) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of any party or a direct or indirect parent of a party (which, for purposes of this Section 15, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of any party, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of any party), either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of any party or on behalf of any series or class of shares of any party or shareholders of any party against any party or any member, trustee, officer, manager (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agent or employee of any party, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Guaranty, including this arbitration provision, or the declarations of trust, limited liability company agreements, charters, bylaws or other governing documents of any party hereto (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section 15.  For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against trustees, officers or managers of any party and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and any party.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.  For purposes of this Section 15, the term “party” shall include any direct or indirect parent of a party.

 

15.2                        Selection of Arbitrators.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

15.3                        Location of Arbitration.  The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

15.4                        Scope of Discovery.  There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

15.5                        Arbitration Award.  In rendering an award or decision (the “Arbitration Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of State of Maryland.  Any arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Arbitration Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

15.6                        Costs.  Except to the extent expressly provided by this Guaranty or as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys.  Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

15.7                        Final Judgment.  An Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

15.8                        Payment.  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Each party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

 

15.9                        Intended Beneficiaries.  This Section 15 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

16.                               Modification of Agreement.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor any consent to any departure by any of the Subtenant Guarantors therefrom, shall

 

9



 

in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Landlord, and such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Subtenant Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subtenant Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.  This Guaranty may not be amended except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of such amendment is sought.

 

17.                               Waiver of Rights by Landlord.  Neither any failure nor any delay on Landlord’s part in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

18.                               Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guaranty should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, but this Guaranty shall be reformed and construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

 

19.                               Entire Contract.  This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

20.                               Headings; Counterparts.  Headings in this Guaranty are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.  This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument, and in pleading or proving any provision of this Guaranty, it shall not be necessary to produce more than one of such counterparts.

 

21.                               Remedies Cumulative.  No remedy herein conferred upon Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

22.                               NON-LIABILITY OF TRUSTEES.  THE DECLARATION OF TRUST ESTABLISHING LANDLORD, DATED NOVEMBER 10, 2004, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED, AS FILED WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF LANDLORD SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, LANDLORD.  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH LANDLORD IN ANY WAY SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF LANDLORD FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.

11



 

cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Subtenant hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral, which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Subtenant hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

11.2                        Selection of Arbitrators.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

11.3                        Location of Arbitration.  The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

11.4                        Scope of Discovery.  There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

11.5                        Arbitration Award.  In rendering an award or decision (the “Arbitration Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland.  Any arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Arbitration Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

11.6                        Costs.  Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys.  Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its

 

13



 

(or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

11.7                        Final Judgment.  An Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

11.8                        Payment.  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Each party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

 

11.9                        Intended Beneficiaries.  This Section 11 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

Section 12Notices.  (a) Any and all notices, demands, consents, approvals, offers, elections and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed adequately given if in writing and the same shall be delivered either in hand, by facsimile with confirmation of transmission by sender’s machine, or by mail or Federal Express or similar expedited commercial carrier, addressed to the recipient of the notice, postpaid and registered or certified with return receipt requested (if by mail), or with all freight charges prepaid (if by Federal Express or similar carrier).

14



 

without the execution of any additional documents; it being understood and agreed, however, that Tenant and Landlord shall execute such documents and agreements as either party shall reasonably require to evidence the same.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing sentence, if, subsequent to the giving of such Notice, an Event of Default shall occur, at Landlord’s option, the extension of this Agreement shall cease to take effect and this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Fixed Term or the Extended Term, as applicable, and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

 

RENT

 

3.1               Rent.  Tenant shall pay, in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, without offset, abatement, demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), Minimum Rent and Additional Rent to Landlord and Additional Charges to the party to whom such Additional Charges are payable, during the Term.  All payments to Landlord shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds or by other means acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion.  Rent for any partial calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

 

3.1.1           Minimum Rent.

 

(a)           Payments.  Minimum Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month during the Term.

 

(b)           Allocation of Minimum RentMinimum Rent may be allocated and reallocated among the Properties comprising the Leased Property by agreement among Landlord and Tenant; provided, however that in no event shall the Minimum Rent allocated to any Property be less than the monthly amount payable by Landlord on account of any Facility Mortgage and/or ground or master lease with respect to such Property nor shall the aggregate amount of Minimum Rent allocated among the Properties exceed the total amount payable for the Leased Property.

 

(c)           Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Disbursements Under Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.3 and 11.2.  Effective on the date of each disbursement to pay for the cost of any repairs, maintenance, renovations or replacements pursuant to Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.3 or 11.2, the annual Minimum Rent shall be increased by a per annum amount equal to the Disbursement Rate times the amount so disbursed.  If any such disbursement is made during any calendar month on a day other than the first Business Day of such calendar month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar month (in addition to the amount of Minimum Rent payable with respect to such calendar month, as adjusted pursuant to this

 

15



 

paragraph (c)) the amount by which Minimum Rent for the preceding calendar month, as adjusted for such disbursement on a per diem basis, exceeded the amount of Minimum Rent paid by Tenant for such preceding calendar month.

 

(d)           Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Partial Lease Termination.  Subject to Section 4.1.1(b), if this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Property but less than all of the Leased Property, Minimum Rent shall be reduced by the affected Property’s allocable share of Minimum Rent determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

 

3.1.2           Additional Rent.

 

(a)           Amount.  Tenant shall pay additional rent (“Additional Rent”) with respect to each Lease Year during the Term in an amount, not less than zero, equal to four percent (4%) of Excess Gross Revenues at each Property.

 

(b)           Quarterly Installments.  Installments of Additional Rent for each Lease Year during the Term, or portion thereof, shall be calculated and paid quarterly in arrears.  Quarterly payments of Additional Rent for each Property shall be calculated based on Gross Revenues for such quarter during the preceding year and shall be due and payable and delivered to Landlord on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, or portion thereof, thereafter occurring during the Term, together with an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the calculation of Additional Rent due and payable for such quarter.

 

(c)           Reconciliation of Additional Rent.  In addition, within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Lease Year (or any portion thereof occurring during the Term), Tenant shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Landlord (i) a financial report setting forth the Gross Revenues for each Property for such preceding Lease Year, or portion thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate from Tenant’s chief financial or accounting officer certifying that such report is true and correct, and (ii) a statement showing Tenant’s calculation of Additional Rent due for such preceding Lease Year, or portion thereof, based on the Gross Revenues set forth in such financial report, together with an Officer’s Certificate from Tenant’s chief financial or accounting officer certifying that such statement is true and correct.

 

If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding Lease Year as set forth in Tenant’s statement thereof exceeds the amount previously paid with respect thereto by Tenant, Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord at such time as the statement is delivered, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the close of such preceding Lease Year until the date that such statement is required to be delivered and, thereafter, such interest shall accrue at the Overdue Rate, until the amount of such difference shall be paid or otherwise discharged.  If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding Lease Year as shown in such statement is less than the amount previously paid with respect thereto by Tenant, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit against the Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such difference, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until

 

16



 

the date such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be.  If such credit cannot be made because the Term has expired prior to application in full thereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit to Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of payment by Landlord.

 

(d)           Confirmation of Additional Rent.  Tenant shall utilize, or cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property in accordance with its usual and customary practices and in all material respects in accordance with GAAP, which will accurately record all Gross Revenues and Tenant shall retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Lease Year, reasonably adequate records conforming to such accounting system showing all Gross Revenues for such Lease Year.  Landlord, at its own expense, except as provided hereinbelow, shall have the right, exercisable by Notice to Tenant, by its accountants or representatives, to audit the information set forth in the Officer’s Certificate referred to in subparagraph (c) above and, in connection with such audits, to examine Tenant’s books and records with respect thereto (including supporting data and sales and excise tax returns).  Landlord shall begin such audit as soon as reasonably possible following its receipt of the applicable Officer’s Certificate and shall complete such audit as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.  All such audits shall be performed at the location where such books and records are customarily kept and in such a manner so as to minimize any interference with Tenant’s business operations.  If any such audit discloses a deficiency in the payment of Additional Rent and either Tenant agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is otherwise determined, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined, together with interest at the Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof, and if the amount of such deficiency exceeds five percent (5%) of the Additional Rent that should have been paid for any Lease Year, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the aggregate amount of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such audit.  If any such audit discloses that Tenant paid more Additional Rent for any Lease Year than was due hereunder, and either Landlord agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is otherwise determined, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, either grant Tenant a credit or pay to Tenant an amount equal to the amount of such overpayment against Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such difference, as finally agreed or determined, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the time of payment by Tenant until the date such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be; provided, however, that, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit to Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of payment from Landlord.  Any dispute concerning the correctness of an audit shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Article 22.

 

Any proprietary information obtained by Landlord with respect to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be treated as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed or used, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards, pursuant to court order or in any litigation between the parties and except

 

17



 

further that Landlord may disclose such information to its prospective lenders, provided that Landlord shall direct such lenders to maintain such information as confidential.  The obligations of Tenant and Landlord contained in this Section 3.1.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

3.1.3           Additional Charges.  In addition to the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the appropriate parties and discharge (or cause to be discharged) as and when due and payable the following (collectively, “Additional Charges”):

 

(a)           Impositions.  Subject to Article 8 relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a result of a failure to take advantage of any discount for early payment) may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and shall promptly, upon request, furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments.  If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay, or cause to pay, such installments during the Term as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto.  Landlord, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Laws, prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all tax returns and pay all taxes due in respect of Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock or other equity interests, and Tenant, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by Government Agencies.  Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Tenant, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant.  Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports.  In the event Government Agencies classify any property covered by this Agreement as personal property, Tenant shall file, or cause to be filed, all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file.  Each party shall, to the extent it possesses the same, provide the other, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property.  Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns for property covered by this Agreement, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest.  All Impositions assessed against such personal property shall be (irrespective of whether Landlord or Tenant shall file the relevant return) paid by Tenant not later than the last date on which the same may be made without interest or penalty, subject to the provisions of Article 8.

 

18



 

Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge; provided, however, that Landlord’s failure to give any such notice shall in no way diminish Tenant’s obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions.

 

(b)           Utility Charges.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in connection with the Leased Property.

 

(c)           Insurance Premiums.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article 9.

 

(d)           Other Charges.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all other amounts, liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, ground rents, if any, and all amounts payable under any equipment leases and all agreements to indemnify Landlord under Sections 4.4.2 and 9.5.

 

(e)           Reimbursement for Additional Charges.  If Tenant pays or causes to be paid property taxes or similar or other Additional Charges attributable to periods after the end of the Term, whether upon expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement (other than termination by reason of an Event of Default), Tenant may, within a reasonable time after the end of the Term, provide Notice to Landlord of its estimate of such amounts.  Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all payments of such taxes and other similar Additional Charges that are attributable to any period after the Term of this Agreement.

 

3.2               Late Payment of Rent, Etc.  If any installment of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment, from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof.  To the extent that Tenant pays any Additional Charges directly to Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee pursuant to any requirement of this Agreement, Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the Entity to which they would otherwise be due.  If any payments due from Landlord to Tenant shall not be paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, on demand, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof.

 

In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Charges when due, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as Additional Charges, every fine, penalty, interest and cost which is added for non-payment or late payment of such items.  Landlord shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of non-payment of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent.

 

19



 

3.3               Net Lease.  The Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that this Agreement shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the installments or amounts of the Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this Agreement which expressly provide otherwise, including those provisions for adjustment or abatement of such Rent.

 

3.4               No Termination, Abatement, Etc.   Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each of Landlord and Tenant, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Agreement in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action without the consent of the other to modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement.  In addition, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall not seek, or be entitled to, any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent, or set-off against the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, from whatever cause or any Condemnation, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim which Tenant may have against Landlord by reason of any default (other than a monetary default) or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Agreement or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing (other than a monetary default by Landlord).  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (i) to modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement or quit or surrender the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or (ii) which would entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable or other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.

20



 

No use shall be made or permitted to be made of any Property and no acts shall be done thereon which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering such Property or any part thereof (unless another adequate policy is available) or which would constitute a default under any ground lease affecting such Property, nor shall Tenant sell or otherwise provide to residents or patients therein, or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about any Property any article which may be prohibited by law or by the standard form of fire insurance policies, or any other insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriter’s regulations.  Tenant shall, at its sole cost (except as expressly provided in Section 5.1.2(b)), comply or cause to be complied with all Insurance Requirements.  Tenant shall not take or omit to take, or permit to be taken or omitted to be taken, any action, the taking or omission of which materially impairs the value or the usefulness of any Property or any part thereof for its Permitted Use.

 

(b)           In the event that, in the reasonable determination of Tenant, it shall no longer be economically practical to operate any Property as currently operated, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons therefor.  Thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to agree on an alternative use for such Property, appropriate adjustments to the Additional Rent and other related matters; provided, however, in no event shall the Minimum Rent be reduced or abated as a result thereof.  If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on an alternative use for such Property within sixty (60) days after commencing negotiations as aforesaid, Tenant may market such Property for sale to a third party.  If Tenant receives a bona fide offer (an “Offer”) to purchase such Property from a Person having the financial capacity to implement the terms of such Offer, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall include a copy of the Offer executed by such third party.  In the event that Landlord shall fail to accept or reject such Offer within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Notice, such Offer shall be deemed to be rejected by Landlord.  If Landlord shall sell the Property pursuant to such Offer, then, effective as of the date of such sale, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, and the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the net proceeds of sale received by Landlord multiplied by the Interest Rate.  If Landlord shall reject (or be deemed to have rejected) such Offer, then, effective as of the proposed date of such sale, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, and the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the projected net proceeds determined by reference to such Offer multiplied by the Interest Rate.

4.1.3           Lawful Use, Etc.  Tenant shall not, and shall not permit any Person to use or suffer or permit the use of any Property or Tenant’s Personal Property, if any, for any unlawful purpose.  Tenant shall not, and shall not permit any Person to, commit or suffer to be committed any waste on any Property, or in any Facility, nor shall Tenant cause or permit any

4.2               Compliance with Legal/Insurance Requirements, Etc.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.2(b) and Article 8, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall (a) comply with (or cause to be complied with) all material Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in respect of the use, operation, maintenance, repair, alteration and restoration of any Property and with the terms and conditions of any ground lease affecting any Property, (b) perform (or cause to be performed) in a timely fashion all of Landlord’s obligations under any ground lease affecting any Property and (c) procure, maintain and comply with (or cause to be procured, maintained and complied with) all material licenses, certificates of need, permits, provider agreements and other authorizations and agreements required for any use of any Property and Tenant’s Personal Property, if any, then being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property or any part thereof.

(b)           If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Tenant is required to make any expenditures in connection with any repair, maintenance or renovation with respect to any Property, Tenant may, at its election, advance such funds or give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the required

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialmen for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any alteration, addition, improvement or repair to the Leased Property or any part thereof or as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against the Leased Property or any part thereof nor to subject Landlord’s estate in the Leased Property or any part thereof to liability under any mechanic’s lien law of any State in any way, it being expressly understood Landlord’s estate shall not be subject to any such liability.

 

5.2              Tenant’s Personal Property.  Tenant shall provide and maintain (or cause to be provided and maintained) throughout the Term all such Tenant’s Personal Property as shall be necessary in order to operate in compliance with applicable material Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry for the Permitted Use.  If, from and after the Commencement Date with respect to any Property, Tenant acquires an interest in any item of tangible personal property (other than motor vehicles) on, or in connection with, the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, which belongs to anyone other than Tenant, Tenant shall require the agreements permitting such use to provide that Landlord or its designee may assume Tenant’s rights and obligations under such agreement upon Landlord’s purchase of the same in accordance with the provisions of Article 15 and the assumption of management or operation of the Facility by Landlord or its designee.

5.4              Management Agreement.  Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), enter into, amend or modify the provisions of any Management Agreement with respect to any Property.  Any Management Agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4 shall be subordinate to this Agreement and shall provide, inter alia, that all amounts due from Tenant to Manager thereunder shall be subordinate to all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord (provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may pay all amounts due to Manager thereunder pursuant to such Management Agreement) and for termination thereof, at Landlord’s option, upon the termination of this Agreement.  Tenant shall not take any action, grant any consent or permit any action under any such Management Agreement which might have a material adverse effect on Landlord, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

9.1               General Insurance Requirements.  Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and at any other time Tenant shall be in possession of any Property, or any portion thereof, keep (or cause to be kept) such Property and all property located therein or thereon, insured against the risks and in such amounts as is against such risks and in such amounts as Landlord shall reasonably require and may be commercially reasonable.  Tenant shall annually prepare a proposal setting forth the insurance Tenant proposes to be maintained with respect to each Property, and shall submit such proposal to Landlord at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the insurance policy then in effect for Landlord’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  In the event that Landlord shall fail to respond within thirty (30) days after receipt of such proposal, such proposal shall be deemed approved.

 

9.2               Waiver of Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant agree that (insofar as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance companies doing business in any State) with respect to any property loss which is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant, the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the others of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree that their respective insurance companies (and, if Landlord or Tenant shall self insure in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be) shall have no right of subrogation against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium may result therefrom.  In the event that any extra premium is payable by Tenant as a result of this provision, Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for such extra premium.

 

9.3               Form Satisfactory, Etc.  All insurance policies and endorsements required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be fully paid for, nonassessable, and issued by reputable insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a general policy holder’s rating of no less than A in Best’s latest rating guide.  All property, business interruption, liability and flood insurance policies with respect to each Property shall include no deductible in excess of Two

9.4               No Separate Insurance; Self-Insurance.  Tenant shall not take (or permit any Person to take) out separate insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Article 9, or increase the amount of any existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of such insurance, including Landlord and all Facility Mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds and the loss is payable under such insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this Agreement.  In the event Tenant shall take out any such separate insurance or increase any of the amounts of the then existing insurance, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt Notice thereof.  Tenant shall not self-insure (or permit any Person to self-insure) with respect to any insurance required to be carried hereunder by Tenant.

 

9.5               Indemnification of Landlord.  Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance provided for herein and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance, Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord for, from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of the following, except to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct:  (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about any Property or portion thereof or adjoining sidewalks or rights of way, (b) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant, any Manager or anyone claiming under any of them or Tenant’s Personal Property or any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third parties to which Landlord is made a party or participant

relating to any Property or portion thereof or Tenant’s Personal Property or such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance, or repair thereof including, failure to perform obligations (other than Condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord is made a party, (c) any Impositions that are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and (d) any failure on the part of Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement.  Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord (and shall not be responsible for any duplicative attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord) or may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same, with Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  The obligations of Tenant under this Section 9.5 are in addition to the obligations set forth in Section 4.4 and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

CASUALTY

 

10.1             Insurance Proceeds.  Except as provided in the last clause of this sentence, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to any Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance required by Article 9 (other than the proceeds of any business interruption insurance) shall be paid directly to Landlord (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2) and all loss adjustments with respect to losses payable to Landlord shall require the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all such proceeds less than or equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (which amount shall be increased by fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) every five years during the Term, with the first such increase commencing on July 1, 2021 ) shall be paid directly to Tenant and such losses may be adjusted without Landlord’s consent.  If Tenant is required to reconstruct or repair any Property as provided herein, such proceeds shall be paid out by Landlord from time to time for the reasonable costs of reconstruction or repair of such Property necessitated by such damage or destruction, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.4.  Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration shall be paid to Tenant.  In the event that the provisions of Section 10.2.1 are applicable, the insurance proceeds shall be retained by the party entitled thereto pursuant to Section 10.2.1.

 

10.2             Damage or Destruction.

 

10.2.1         Damage or Destruction of Leased Property.  If, during the Term, any Property shall be totally or partially destroyed and the Facility located thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use,  Tenant may, by the giving of Notice thereof to the Landlord, terminate this Agreement with respect to such affected Property, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such affected Property and Landlord shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage.  In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any deductible under the insurance policies covering such Facility, the amount of any uninsured loss and any difference between the replacement cost of the affected Property and the casualty insurance proceeds therefor.

10.2.2         Partial Damage or Destruction.  If, during the Term, any Property shall be totally or partially destroyed but the Facility is not rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, subject to Section 10.2.3, promptly restore such Facility as provided in Section 10.2.4.

 

10.2.3         Insufficient Insurance Proceeds.  If the cost of the repair or restoration of the applicable Facility exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 9.1, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation to do so, except that, if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement).  In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord’s sole election by Notice to Tenant, given within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(c).  In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property by Notice to the other, whereupon, this Agreement shall so terminate and insurance proceeds shall be distributed as provided in Section 10.2.1.  It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall be strictly liable and solely responsible for the amount of any deductible and shall, upon any insurable loss, pay over the amount of such deductible to Landlord at the time and in the manner herein provided for payment of the applicable proceeds to Landlord.

 

10.2.4         Disbursement of Proceeds.  In the event Tenant is required to restore any Property pursuant to Section 10.2 and this Agreement is not terminated as to such Property pursuant to this Article 10, Tenant shall commence (or cause to be commenced) promptly and continue diligently to perform (or cause to be performed) the repair and restoration of such Property (hereinafter called the “Work”), so as to restore (or cause to be restored) the applicable Property in material compliance with all Legal Requirements and so that such Property shall be, to the extent practicable, substantially equivalent in value and general utility to its general utility and value immediately prior to such damage or destruction.  Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall advance the insurance proceeds and any additional amounts payable by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2.3 or otherwise deposited with Landlord to Tenant regularly during the repair and restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of any such restoration and repair.  Any such advances shall be made not more than monthly within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant submits to Landlord a written requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord).  Landlord may, at its option, condition advancement of such insurance proceeds and other amounts on (a) the absence of any Event of Default, (b) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (c) general contractors’ estimates, (d) architect’s certificates, (e) conditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (f) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, (g), if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to Section 10.2.3, Tenant depositing the amount

Landlord’s obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds by any Facility Mortgagee to Landlord.

 

Tenant’s obligation to restore the applicable Property pursuant to this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of available insurance proceeds by the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord or directly to Tenant and, in the event such proceeds are insufficient, Landlord electing to make such deficiency available therefor (and disbursement of such deficiency).

 

10.3             Damage Near End of Term.  Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 10.1 or 10.2 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of any Property occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and if such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be fully repaired and restored prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to the end of the Term, the provisions of Section 10.2.1 shall apply as if such Property had been totally or partially destroyed and the Facility thereon rendered Unsuitable for its Permitted Use.

 

10.4             Tenant’s PropertyAll insurance proceeds payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any of Tenant’s Personal Property shall be paid to Tenant and, to the extent necessary to repair or replace Tenant’s Personal Property in accordance with Section 10.5, Tenant shall hold such proceeds in trust to pay the cost of repairing or replacing damaged Tenant’s Personal Property.

 

10.5             Restoration of Tenant’s Property.  If Tenant is required to restore any Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either (a) restore all alterations and improvements made by Tenant and Tenant’s Personal Property, or (b) replace such alterations and improvements and Tenant’s Personal Property with improvements or items of the same or better quality and utility in the operation of such Property.

 

10.6             No Abatement of Rent.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property, or any portion thereof (provided that Landlord shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to Landlord as a consequence of such damage under any business interruption insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder).  The provisions of this Article 10 shall be considered an express agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or State statute, laws, rules, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provide for such a contingency shall have any application in such case.

 

10.7             Waiver.  Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof.

11.1             Total Condemnation, Etc.  If either (a) the whole of any Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (b) a Condemnation of less than the whole of any Property renders any Property Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, and Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in the applicable Property as provided in Section 11.5.

 

11.2             Partial Condemnation.  In the event of a Condemnation of less than the whole of any Property such that such Property is still suitable for its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, to the extent of the Award and any additional amounts disbursed by Landlord as hereinafter provided, commence (or cause to be commenced) promptly and continue diligently to restore (or cause to be restored) the untaken portion of the applicable Leased Improvements so that such Leased Improvements shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as such Leased Improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in material compliance with all Legal Requirements, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2.  If the cost of the repair or restoration of the affected Property exceeds the amount of the Award, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation to do so, except that if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement).  In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord’s sole election by Notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(c).  In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property and the entire Award shall be allocated as set forth in Section 11.5.

 

Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall contribute to the cost of restoration that part of the Award necessary to complete such repair or restoration, together with severance and other damages awarded for the taken Leased Improvements and any deficiency Landlord has agreed to disburse, to Tenant regularly during the restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of such repair or restoration.  Landlord may, at its option, condition advancement of such Award and other amounts on (a) the absence of any Event of Default, (b) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (c) general contractors’ estimates, (d) architect’s certificates, (e) conditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (f) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, (g), if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to the preceding paragraph, Tenant depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and (h) such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.  Landlord’s obligation under this Section 11.2 to disburse the Award

 

33



 

and such other amounts shall be subject to (x) the collection thereof by Landlord and (y) the satisfaction of any applicable requirements of any Facility Mortgage, and the release of such Award by the applicable Facility Mortgagee.  Tenant’s obligation to restore the Leased Property shall be subject to the release of the Award by the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord.

 

11.3             Abatement of Rent.  Other than as specifically provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any Condemnation involving the Leased Property, or any portion thereof.  The provisions of this Article 11 shall be considered an express agreement governing any Condemnation involving the Leased Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or State statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provides for such a contingency shall have any application in such case.

 

11.4             Temporary CondemnationIn the event of any temporary Condemnation of any Property or Tenant’s interest therein, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay (or cause to be paid), in the manner and on the terms herein specified, the full amount of the Rent.  Tenant shall continue to perform and observe (or cause to be performed and observed) all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Tenant to be performed and observed.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire amount of any Award made for such temporary Condemnation allocable to the Term, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant.  Tenant shall, promptly upon the termination of any such period of temporary Condemnation, at its sole cost and expense, restore the affected Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such Condemnation, in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, unless such period of temporary Condemnation shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, in which event Tenant shall not be required to make such restoration.

 

11.5             Allocation of Award.  Except as provided in Section 11.4 and the second sentence of this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be solely the property of and payable to Landlord.  Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property, loss of business during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant’s Personal Property, the taking of Capital Additions paid for by Tenant and Tenant’s removal and relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to Tenant (subject to the provisions of Section 11.2).  In any Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award in conformity herewith, at its own expense.

 

ARTICLE 12

 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

12.1             Events of Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

 

(a)           should Tenant fail to make any payment of the Rent or any other sum payable hereunder when due, which failure shall continue for at least five (5) Business Days after Notice from Landlord to Tenant; or

 

34



 

(b)           should Tenant fail to maintain the insurance coverages required under Article 9; or

 

(c)           should Tenant default in the due observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained herein to be performed or observed by it (other than as specified in clauses (a) and (b) above) and should such default continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such period of time and if, in addition, Tenant commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default with all due diligence, such period of time shall be extended to such period of time (not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days in the aggregate) as may be necessary to cure such default with all due diligence; or

 

(d)           should any material obligation of Tenant in respect of any Indebtedness for money borrowed or for any material property or services, or any guaranty relating thereto, be declared to be or become due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, or should there occur and be continuing with respect to any such Indebtedness any event of default under any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the same, the effect of which is to permit the holder or holders of such instrument or agreement or a trustee, agent or other representative on behalf of such holder or holders, to cause any such obligations to become due prior to its stated maturity; or

 

(e)           should an event of default by Tenant, any Guarantor or any Affiliated Person as to Tenant or any Guarantor occur and be continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period under any of the Incidental Documents; or

 

(f)            should Tenant or any Guarantor generally not be paying its debts as they become due or should Tenant or any Guarantor make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

 

(g)           should any petition be filed by or against Tenant or any Guarantor under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be instituted by or against Tenant or any Guarantor seeking to adjudicate Tenant or any Guarantor a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of Tenant’s debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Tenant or any Guarantor or for any substantial part of the property of Tenant or any Guarantor and such proceeding is not dismissed within one hundred eighty (180) days after institution thereof; or

 

(h)           should Tenant or any Guarantor cause or institute any proceeding for its dissolution or termination; or

 

(i)            should the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Property or any part thereof be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or

 

35



 

discharged within the later of (x) ninety (90) days after commencement thereof, unless the amount in dispute is less than $250,000, in which case Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of the dispute but Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y) two hundred seventy (270) days after receipt by Tenant of Notice thereof from Landlord (unless Tenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Article 8); or

 

(j)            should there occur any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant or any Guarantor; or

 

(k)           should a final unappealable determination be made by the applicable Government Agency that Tenant shall have failed to comply with applicable Medicare and/or Medicaid regulations in the operation of any Facility, as a result of which failure Tenant is declared ineligible to receive reimbursements under the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs for such Facility;

 

then, and in any such event, Landlord, in addition to all other remedies available to it, may terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all of the Leased Property by giving Notice thereof to Tenant and upon the expiration of the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to all or the designated portion of the Leased Property and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement with respect thereto shall cease.  Landlord shall have and may exercise all rights and remedies available at law and in equity to Landlord as a result of Tenant’s breach of this Agreement.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and take possession of any and all of Tenant’s Personal Property, if any, without liability for trespass or conversion (Tenant hereby waiving any right to notice or hearing prior to such taking of possession by Landlord) and sell the same at public or private sale, after giving Tenant reasonable Notice of the time and place of any public or private sale, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase all or any portion of Tenant’s Personal Property, if any, unless otherwise prohibited by law.  Unless otherwise provided by law and without intending to exclude any other manner of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable Notice shall be met if such Notice is given at least ten (10) days before the date of sale.  The proceeds from any such disposition, less all expenses incurred in connection with the taking of possession, holding and selling of such property (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be applied as a credit against the indebtedness which is secured by any Security Agreement granted by Tenant.  Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law and Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as Additional Charges, upon demand.

 

12.2             Remedies.  None of (a) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, (c) the failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, nor (d) the reletting of all or any of portion of the Leased Property, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting.  In the event of any such termination, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable with respect to the Leased Property, or terminated portion thereof, through and including the date of such

 

36



 

termination.  Thereafter, Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Agreement in the absence of such termination, and whether or not the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current damages, the Rent (Additional Rent to be reasonably calculated by Landlord based on historical Gross Revenues) and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of the Term had such termination not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, after deducting all reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting.  Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Minimum Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Agreement had not been so terminated with respect to such of the Leased Property.

 

At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any such current damages, as liquidated final damages beyond the date of such termination, at Landlord’s election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the present value (as reasonably determined by Landlord) of the excess, if any, of the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder from the date of such termination (assuming that, for the purposes of this paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account of Impositions and Additional Rent would be the same as payments required for the immediately preceding twelve calendar months, or if less than twelve calendar months have expired since the Commencement Date for any Property, the payments required for such lesser period projected to an annual amount) for what would be the then unexpired term of this Agreement if the same remained in effect, over the fair market rental for the same period.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

 

In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (a) relet the Leased Property or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option, be equal to, less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers advisable and necessary to relet the same, and (b) make such reasonable alterations, repairs and decorations in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Leased Property; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.  Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for any failure to relet all or any portion of the Leased Property, or, in the event that the Leased Property is relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Property, by reason of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default hereunder.

 

37



 

12.3             Tenant’s Waiver.  IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2, TENANT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 12, AND THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER IN FORCE EXEMPTING PROPERTY FROM LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT.

 

12.4             Application of Funds.  Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of any Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.  Any balance shall be paid to Tenant.

 

12.5             Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant (which Notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant.  All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are paid by Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.

 

ARTICLE 13

 

HOLDING OVER

 

Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal to two (2) times the Minimum Rent and other charges herein provided (prorated on a daily basis).  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages (direct or indirect) sustained by reason of any such holding over.  Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to the extent applicable.  Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 14

 

LANDLORD DEFAULT

 

If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any

 

38



 

agreement affecting the Leased Property, the performance of which is not Tenant’s obligation pursuant to this Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord and any applicable Facility Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a “Landlord Default” by a second Notice to Landlord and to such Facility Mortgagee.  Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Tenant in curing the same, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) from the date Landlord receives Tenant’s invoice until paid, at the Overdue Rate.  Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other charges due hereunder.

 

If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Landlord shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse determination thereof.  If Tenant and Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such dispute within ten (10) days after Landlord’s Notice of dispute, either may submit the matter for resolution in accordance with Article 22.

 

ARTICLE 15

 

PURCHASE RIGHTS

 

Landlord shall have the option to purchase Tenant’s Personal Property, at the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, for an amount equal to the then fair market value thereof (current replacement cost as determined by agreement of the parties or, in the absence of such agreement, appraisal), subject to, and with appropriate price adjustments for, all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, UCC-1 financing statements and other encumbrances to which Tenant’s Personal Property is subject.  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall use its reasonable efforts to transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred and assigned, to Landlord or its designee, or assist Landlord or its designee in obtaining, any contracts, licenses, and certificates required for the then operation of the Leased Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Article 15 shall diminish, impair or otherwise modify Landlord’s rights under the Security Agreement and that any amounts paid by Landlord in order to purchase Tenant’s Personal Property in accordance with this Article 15 shall be applied first to Tenant’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the applicable State and any balance shall be paid to Tenant.

ARTICLE 16

 

SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

 

16.1             Subletting and Assignment.  Except as provided in Section 16.3, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion), assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or sublease or permit the sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions, licenses and the like), of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or suffer or permit this Agreement or the leasehold estate created hereby or any other rights arising under this Agreement to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or operation of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, any Manager approved by Landlord pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement or residents and patients of Tenant, or the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, to be offered or advertised for assignment or subletting.

 

For purposes of this Section 16.1, an assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed to include, without limitation, any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant.

 

If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, is sublet (or occupied by anybody other than Tenant or any Manager, their respective employees or residents or patients of Tenant), Landlord may collect the rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 16.1, the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement.

 

Any assignment or transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Agreement shall be subject to such assignee’s or transferee’s delivery to Landlord of (a) a Guaranty, which Guaranty shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which Guaranty shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; (b) a pledge of the stock, partnership, membership or other ownership interests of such assignee or other transferee to secure Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which pledge shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which pledge shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; (c) a security agreement granting Landlord a security interest in all of such assignee’s or transferee’s right, title and interest in and to any personal property, intangibles and fixtures (other than accounts receivable) with respect to any Property which is subject to any such assignment or transfer to secure Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which security agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which security agreement shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; and (d) in the case of a sublease, an assignment which assigns all of such subtenant’s right, title and interest in such sublease to Landlord to secure Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which assignment shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which assignment shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder.

 

40



 

No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant expressly otherwise agree that Tenant shall be released from all obligations hereunder), and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the prohibition set forth in this Section 16.1.  No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect any Permitted Use.  Any subletting, assignment or other transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Agreement in contravention of this Section 16.1 shall be voidable at Landlord’s option.

 

16.2             Required Sublease Provisions.  Any sublease of all or any portion of the Leased Property shall provide (a) that it is subject and subordinate to this Agreement and to the matters to which this Agreement is or shall be subject or subordinate; (b) that in the event of termination of this Agreement or reentry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Agreement, Landlord may, at its option, terminate such sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that neither Landlord nor any Facility Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this Agreement, if such mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (i) be liable for any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent, (iv) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any construction of the applicable Property, or any portion thereof, (v) be required to account for any security deposit of the subtenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant, (vi) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such subtenant or grant any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease that are performed after the date of such attornment, (vii) be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the credit of such subtenant unless actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant, or (viii) be required to remove any Person occupying any portion of the Leased Property; and (c) in the event that such subtenant receives a written Notice from Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under such sublease directly to the party giving such Notice or as such party may direct.  All rentals received from such subtenant by Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee, as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Tenant under this Agreement and such sublease shall provide that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of Landlord, execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of such agreement to attorn.  An original counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed by Tenant and such subtenant or assignee, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be delivered promptly to Landlord and (x) in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Agreement on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and shall be, and become, jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the performance thereof and (y) in the case of either an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by Tenant hereunder.

 

The provisions of this Section 16.2 shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1.

 

41



 

16.3             Permitted Sublease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, including, without limitation, Section 16.2, but subject to the provisions of Section 16.4 and any other express conditions or limitations set forth herein, Tenant may, in each instance after Notice to Landlord, (a) enter into third party residency agreements with respect to the units located at the Facilities, (b) sublease space at any Property for laundry, commissary or child care purposes or other concessions in furtherance of the Permitted Use, so long as such subleases will not reduce the number of units at any Facility, will not violate or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Tenant shall provide such additional insurance coverage applicable to the activities to be conducted in such subleased space as Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee may reasonably require, and (c) enter into one or more subleases with Affiliated Persons of Tenant with respect to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, provided Tenant gives Landlord Notice of the material terms and conditions thereof.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that if Tenant enters into one (1) or more subleases with Affiliated Persons of Tenant with respect to any Property, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the preceding clause (c), Tenant may allocate the rent and other charges with respect to the affected Property in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that such allocation shall not affect Tenant’s (nor any Guarantor’s) liability for the Rent and other obligations of Tenant under this Agreement; and, provided, further, that Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any allocation or reallocation of the rent and other charges with respect to the affected Property and, in any event, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the amount of such allocations at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date that Landlord or Senior Housing Properties Trust is required to file any tax returns in any State where such affected Property is located.

 

16.4             Sublease Limitation.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, on any basis such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee, any other formula such that any portion of such sublease rental would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto or would otherwise disqualify Landlord for treatment as a real estate investment trust.

 

ARTICLE 17

 

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(e)           promptly, after receipt or sending thereof, copies of all notices given or received by Tenant under any Management Agreement; and

 

(f)            promptly, upon Notice from Landlord, such other information concerning the business, financial condition and affairs of Tenant and/or any Guarantor as Landlord reasonably may request from time to time.

20.2             Subordination of Lease.  This Agreement and any and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or master lease, and to all mortgages and deeds of trust, which may now or hereafter affect the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or any improvements thereon and/or any of such leases, whether or not such mortgages or deeds of trust shall also cover other lands and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages and deeds of trust, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and deeds of trust and all consolidations of such mortgages and deeds of trust.  This section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.  In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination.  Any such subordination, however, shall be subject to the provisions of, and conditioned upon receipt by Tenant of the nondisturbance agreement described in, the penultimate sentence of this Section 20.2.  Any lease to which this Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Lease” and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest at the time referred to is herein called “Superior Landlord” and any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Mortgage” and the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior Mortgage or any successor in interest thereto is herein called “Superior

20.3             Notice to Mortgagee and Superior Landlord.  Subsequent to the receipt by Tenant of Notice from Landlord as to the identity of any Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which includes the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, as part of the demised premises and which complies with Section 20.1 (which Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the applicable mortgage or lease), no Notice

 

46

22.2             Selection of Arbitrators.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after

 

48



 

receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

22.7             Final Judgment.  An Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the

 

49



 

fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

22.8             Payment.  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Each party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

 

22.9             Intended Beneficiaries.  This Article 22 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

23.1             Limitation on Payment of Rent.  All agreements between Landlord and Tenant herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or otherwise, shall the Rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord under this Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under Applicable Laws, the benefit of which may be asserted by Tenant as a defense, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Landlord should ever receive as fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso facto, the amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the installment(s) of Minimum Rent next due and not to the payment of such excessive amount.  This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement and any other agreements between Landlord and Tenant.

 

23.2             No Waiver.  No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

 

23.3             Remedies CumulativeTo the maximum extent permitted by law, each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or Tenant, now or hereafter provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent

 

50



 

and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.

 

23.4             Severability.  Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or nullify the remainder of this Agreement, but rather the effect thereof shall be confined to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision so held to be invalid, illegal or ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or ineffective provisions had never been contained therein.

 

23.5             Acceptance of Surrender.  No surrender to Landlord of this Agreement or of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Landlord and no act by Landlord or any representative or agent of Landlord, other than such a written acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.

 

23.6             No Merger of Title.  It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that it is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this Agreement or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly this Agreement or the leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate or ground landlord’s interest in the Leased Property.

 

23.7             Conveyance by Landlord.  If Landlord or any successor owner of all or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Landlord or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Agreement with respect to such of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.

 

23.8             Quiet Enjoyment.  Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property for the Term, free of hindrance or molestation by Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, but subject to (a) any Encumbrance permitted under Article 20 or otherwise permitted to be created by Landlord hereunder, (b) all Permitted Encumbrances, (c) liens as to obligations of Landlord that are either not yet due or which are being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings, provided the same do not materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to operate any Facility and (d) liens that have been consented to in writing by Tenant.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Tenant any right to cancel or terminate this Agreement or abate, reduce or make a deduction from or offset against the Rent or any other sum payable under this Agreement, or to fail to perform any other obligation of Tenant hereunder.

 

23.9             No Recordation.  Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Agreement.

3.10  Compliance.  Guarantor shall use reasonable business efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including, without limitation, applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to environmental, safety and other similar standards or controls).

 

3.11  Insurance.  Guarantor shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by owners of established reputation engaged in the same or similar businesses and similarly situated, in such amounts and by such methods as shall be customary for such owners and deemed adequate by Guarantor.

 

3.12  No Change in Control.  Guarantor shall not permit the occurrence of any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant or Guarantor.

 

4.                                      Guarantee.  Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations which are monetary obligations shall be paid in full when due and payable, whether upon demand, at the stated or accelerated maturity thereof pursuant to any Lease No. 5 Document, or otherwise, and that the Guaranteed Obligations which are performance obligations shall be fully performed at the times and in the manner such performance is required by the Lease No. 5 Documents.  With respect to the Guaranteed Obligations which are monetary obligations, this guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collectability and is absolute and in no way conditional or contingent.  In case any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid when due and payable or performed at the time performance is required, Guarantor shall, in the case of monetary obligations, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice from Landlord, pay or cause to be paid to Landlord the amount thereof as is then due and payable and unpaid (including interest and other charges, if any, due thereon through the date of payment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease No. 5 Documents) or, in the case of non-monetary obligations, perform or cause to be performed such obligations in accordance with the Lease No. 5 Documents.

 

5.                                      Set-Off.  Guarantor hereby authorizes Landlord, at any time and without notice, to set off the whole or any portion or portions of any or all sums credited by or due from

 



 

Landlord to it against amounts payable under this Guaranty.  Landlord shall promptly notify Guarantor of any such set-off made by Landlord and the application made by Landlord of the proceeds thereof.

 

6.                                      Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations, Etc.  If Tenant is for any reason under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than because the same have been previously discharged in accordance with the terms of the Lease No. 5 Documents), or if any other moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become unrecoverable from Tenant by operation of law or for any other reason, including, without limitation, the invalidity or irregularity in whole or in part of any Guaranteed Obligation or of any Transaction Document or any limitation on the liability of Tenant thereunder not contemplated by the Lease No. 5 Documents or any limitation on the method or terms of payment thereunder which may now or hereafter be caused or imposed in any manner whatsoever, the guarantees contained in this Guaranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all such Guaranteed Obligations.

 

7.                                      Additional Guarantees.  This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guarantee or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guarantee or security or by any waiver, amendment, release or modification thereof.

 

8.                                      Consents and Waivers, Etc.  Guarantor hereby acknowledges receipt of correct and complete copies of each of the Lease No. 5 Documents, and consents to all of the terms and provisions thereof, as the same may be from time to time hereafter amended or changed in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and, except as otherwise provided herein, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, waives (a) presentment, demand for payment, and protest of nonpayment, of any principal of or interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of diligence, presentment, demand and protest, (c) notice of any default hereunder and any default, breach or nonperformance or Event of Default under any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Lease No. 5 Documents, (d) notice of the terms, time and place of any private or public sale of any collateral held as security for the Guaranteed Obligations, (e) demand for performance or observance of, and any enforcement of any provision of, or any pursuit or exhaustion of rights or remedies against Tenant or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, under or pursuant to the Lease No. 5 Documents, or any agreement directly or indirectly relating thereto and any requirements of diligence or promptness on the part of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations in connection therewith, and (f) to the extent Guarantor lawfully may do so, any and all demands and notices of every kind and description with respect to the foregoing or which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and any defense of any kind which it may now or hereafter have with respect to this Guaranty, or any of the Lease No. 5 Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations (other than that the same have been discharged in accordance with the Lease No. 5 Documents).

 

9.                                      No Impairment, Etc.  The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired by any assignment or transfer in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations without notice to Guarantor, or any waiver by Landlord or any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or by the holders of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the performance or observance by Tenant or any other guarantor of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Guaranteed Obligations

 



 

or the Lease No. 5 Documents or any indulgence in or the extension of the time for payment by Tenant or any other guarantor of any amounts payable under or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or the Lease No. 5 Documents or any other instrument or agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or of the time for performance by Tenant or any other guarantor of any other obligations under or arising out of any of the foregoing or the extension or renewal thereof (except that with respect to any extension of time for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations granted by Landlord or any other holder of such Guaranteed Obligations to Tenant, Guarantor’s obligations to pay or perform such Guaranteed Obligation shall be subject to the same extension of time for performance), or the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of Tenant or any other guarantor set forth in any of the foregoing, or the voluntary or involuntary sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any other guarantor or insolvency, bankruptcy, or other similar proceedings affecting Tenant or any other guarantor or any assets of Tenant or any such other guarantor, or the release or discharge of Tenant or any such other guarantor from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of the foregoing without the consent of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.

 

10.                               Reimbursement, Subrogation, Etc.  Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that it will not enforce or otherwise exercise any rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other similar rights against Tenant (or any other person against whom Landlord may proceed) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations prior to the payment in full of all amounts owing with respect to the Lease No. 5 Documents, and until all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord shall have been paid in full, Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation, and Guarantor waives any defense it may have based upon any election of remedies by Landlord which destroys its subrogation rights or its rights to proceed against Tenant for reimbursement, including, without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of Tenant in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging the indebtedness to Landlord.  Until all obligations of Tenant pursuant to the Lease No. 5 Documents shall have been paid and satisfied in full, Guarantor further waives any right to enforce any remedy which Landlord now has or may in the future have against Tenant, any other guarantor or any other person and any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security whatsoever now or in the future held by Landlord.

 

11.                               Defeasance.  This Guaranty shall terminate at such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full and all other obligations of Guarantor to Landlord under this Guaranty have been satisfied in full; provided, however, if at any time, all or any part of any payment applied on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Tenant), this Guaranty, to the extent such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, shall be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding any such termination.

15.                               Arbitration.

 

15.1                        Disputes.  Any disputes, claims or controversies between the parties (a) arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, or (b) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of any party or a direct or indirect parent of a party (which, for purposes of this Section 15, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of any party, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of any party), either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of any party or on behalf of any series or class of shares of any party or shareholders of any party against any party or any member, trustee, officer, manager (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agent or employee of any party, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Guaranty, including this arbitration provision, or the declarations of trust, limited liability company agreements, charters, bylaws or other governing documents of any party hereto (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section 15.  For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against trustees, officers or managers of any party and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and any party.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.  For purposes of this Section 15, the term “party” shall include any direct or indirect parent of a party.

 

15.2                        Selection of Arbitrators.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by

 



 

AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

15.3                        Location of Arbitration.  The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

15.4                        Scope of Discovery.  There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

15.5                        Arbitration Award.  In rendering an award or decision (the “Arbitration Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of State of Maryland.  Any arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Arbitration Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

15.6                        Costs.  Except to the extent expressly provided by this Guaranty or as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys.  Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

15.7                        Final Judgment.  An Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

15.8                        Payment.  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Each party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a

 



 

monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

 

15.9                        Intended Beneficiaries.  This Section 15 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

16.                               Modification of Agreement.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor any consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Landlord, and such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.  This Guaranty may not be amended except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of such amendment is sought.

 

17.                               Waiver of Rights by Landlord.  Neither any failure nor any delay on Landlord’s part in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

18.                               Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guaranty should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, but this Guaranty shall be reformed and construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

 

19.                               Entire Contract.  This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

20.                               Headings; Counterparts.  Headings in this Guaranty are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.  This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument, and in pleading or proving any provision of this Guaranty, it shall not be necessary to produce more than one of such counterparts.

 

21.                               Remedies Cumulative.  No remedy herein conferred upon Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

22.                               NON-LIABILITY OF TRUSTEES.  THE DECLARATION OF TRUST ESTABLISHING LANDLORD, DATED NOVEMBER 10, 2004, AS AMENDED AND

 



 

SUPPLEMENTED, AS FILED WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF LANDLORD SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, LANDLORD.  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH LANDLORD IN ANY WAY SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF LANDLORD FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.

5.01.                     Shortfall.  If in any of three (3) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016) the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has not been paid in full (the aggregate amount of such shortfall, the “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third (3rd) year, TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements identified on Schedule C.  Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall together with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manager may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more frequently than once every four (4) years.  Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a

 

4



 

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

 

5



 

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.                     Addition of Facilities.  At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be

 

6



 

required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.                     Addition of Facilities.  At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be

required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

ARTICLE III

(1)                                 First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

 

(2)                                 Second, to Manager, to pay the Aggregate Base Fee and any interest that may have accrued pursuant to Section 3.02.

3



 

and bear interest at the Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 5.01.  Amounts payable pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be paid on the last Business Day of the January following the end of each calendar year, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Annual Statement for such calendar year.  Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and payments to TRSes pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be allocated among TRSes as TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion, and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.                     Addition of Facilities.  At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be

required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

ARTICLE III

(1)                                 First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

3



 

and bear interest at the Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 5.01.  Amounts payable pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be paid on the last Business Day of the January following the end of each calendar year, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Annual Statement for such calendar year.  Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and payments to TRSes pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be allocated among TRSes as TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion, and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

 

5



 

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.                     Addition of Facilities.  At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be

required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

ARTICLE III
PRIORITIES FOR DISTRIBUTION OF AGGREGATE GROSS REVENUES

(1)                                 First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

 

(2)                                 Second, to Manager, to pay the Aggregate Base Fee and any interest that may have accrued pursuant to Section 3.02.

(5)                                 Fifth, of the balance, thirty-five percent (35%) to Manager and sixty-five percent (65%) to TRSes.

 

3.02.                     Timing of Payments.  Payment of the Aggregate Facility Expenses, excluding the Aggregate Base Fee, shall be made in the ordinary course of business.  The Aggregate Base Fee and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance, based upon Manager’s then estimate of the prior month’s Aggregate Gross Revenues.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance in approximately equal monthly installments, based upon Aggregate Invested Capital most recently reported to Manager by TRSes.  The Aggregate Base Fee and Aggregate TRS Priority Return shall be subject to adjustment by increasing or decreasing the payment due in the following month based upon Aggregate Gross Revenues reflected in the Aggregate Monthly Financial Statements and increases or decreases in Aggregate Invested Capital reported to Manager by TRSes, as the case may be.  If the Aggregate Base Fee is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate and such unpaid amount and accrued interest shall continue to be payable pursuant to clause (2) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years until paid in full.  If the Aggregate TRS Priority Return is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall not continue to be

 

3



 

payable pursuant to clause (3) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years, but shall continue to be due and bear interest at the Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 5.01.  Amounts payable pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be paid on the last Business Day of the January following the end of each calendar year, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Annual Statement for such calendar year.  Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and payments to TRSes pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be allocated among TRSes as TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion, and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

 

3.03.                     Relationship with Management Agreements.  For as long as this Agreement is in effect with respect to a Facility, the provisions of Section 3.01 and 3.02 shall supersede Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of the Management Agreement then in effect for such Facility, and fees payable to Manager pursuant Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall be in lieu of the fees payable under the first sentence of Section 3.01 of the Management Agreements.

 

ARTICLE IV
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

4.01.                     Pooling Agreement Financial Statements.  Manager shall prepare and deliver the following financial statements to TRSes:

(b)                            Manager shall also prepare and deliver such other statements or reports as any TRS may, from time to time, reasonably request.

 

4.02.                     Management Agreement Financial Statements.  The financial statements delivered pursuant to this Article IV are in addition to any financial statements required to be prepared and delivered pursuant to the Management Agreements.

 

ARTICLE V
SHORTFALL; NON-ECONOMIC FACILITIES

 

5.01.                     Shortfall.  If in any of three (3) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016) the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has not been paid in full (the aggregate amount of such shortfall, the “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third (3rd) year, TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements identified on Schedule C.  Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall together with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manager may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more

frequently than once every four (4) years.  Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection

 

5



 

and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.                     Addition of Facilities.  At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this

Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

(1)                                 First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

and bear interest at the Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 5.01.  Amounts payable pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be paid on the last Business Day of the January following the end of each calendar year, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Annual Statement for such calendar year.  Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and payments to TRSes pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be allocated among TRSes as TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion, and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

ARTICLE IV

4.01.                     Pooling Agreement Financial Statements.  Manager shall prepare and deliver the following financial statements to TRSes:

 

(a)                            not later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, a consolidated balance sheet and related statement of income and expense of all of the Facilities for such calendar month and for the then current calendar year to date, certified by Manager’s Controller on a monthly basis and by Manager’s Chief Financial Officer on a quarterly basis as being true and correct to the best of his/her knowledge (“Aggregate Monthly Statement”).

 

(b)                            Manager shall also prepare and deliver such other statements or reports as any TRS may, from time to time, reasonably request.

 

4.02.                     Management Agreement Financial Statements.  The financial statements delivered pursuant to this Article IV are in addition to any financial statements required to be prepared and delivered pursuant to the Management Agreements.

 

ARTICLE V
SHORTFALL; NON-ECONOMIC FACILITIES

 

5.01.                     Shortfall.  If in any of three (3) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016) the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has not been paid in full (the aggregate amount of such shortfall, the “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third (3rd) year, TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements identified on Schedule C.  Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall together with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manager may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more frequently than once every four (4) years.  Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a

 

4



 

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

 

5



 

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.                     Addition of Facilities.  At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be

 

6



 

required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

(1)                                 First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

ARTICLE V
SHORTFALL; NON-ECONOMIC FACILITIES

 

5.01.                     Shortfall.  If in any of three (3) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016) the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has not been paid in full (the aggregate amount of such shortfall, the “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third (3rd) year, TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements identified on Schedule C.  Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall together with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manager may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more frequently than once every four (4) years.  Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a

 

4



 

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

 

5



 

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.                     Addition of Facilities.  At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be

 

6



 

required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

ARTICLE III

(1)                                 First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

3.02.                     Timing of Payments.  Payment of the Aggregate Facility Expenses, excluding the Aggregate Base Fee, shall be made in the ordinary course of business.  The Aggregate Base Fee and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance, based upon Manager’s then estimate of the prior month’s Aggregate Gross Revenues.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance in approximately equal monthly installments, based upon Aggregate Invested Capital most recently reported to Manager by TRSes.  The Aggregate Base Fee and Aggregate TRS Priority Return shall be subject to adjustment by increasing or decreasing the payment due in the following month based upon Aggregate Gross Revenues reflected in the Aggregate Monthly Financial Statements and increases or decreases in Aggregate Invested Capital reported to Manager by TRSes, as the case may be.  If the Aggregate Base Fee is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate and such unpaid amount and accrued interest shall continue to be payable pursuant to clause (2) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years until paid in full.  If the Aggregate TRS Priority Return is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall not continue to be payable pursuant to clause (3) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years, but shall continue to be due

 

3



 

and bear interest at the Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 5.01.  Amounts payable pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be paid on the last Business Day of the January following the end of each calendar year, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Annual Statement for such calendar year.  Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and payments to TRSes pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be allocated among TRSes as TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion, and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

(b)                            Manager shall also prepare and deliver such other statements or reports as any TRS may, from time to time, reasonably request.

 

4.02.                     Management Agreement Financial Statements.  The financial statements delivered pursuant to this Article IV are in addition to any financial statements required to be prepared and delivered pursuant to the Management Agreements.

 

ARTICLE V
SHORTFALL; NON-ECONOMIC FACILITIES

 

5.01.                     Shortfall.  If in any of three (3) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016) the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has not been paid in full (the aggregate amount of such shortfall, the “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third (3rd) year, TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements identified on Schedule C.  Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall together with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manager may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more frequently than once every four (4) years.  Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a

 

4



 

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

ARTICLE III
PRIORITIES FOR DISTRIBUTION OF AGGREGATE GROSS REVENUES

(1)                                 First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

 

(2)                                 Second, to Manager, to pay the Aggregate Base Fee and any interest that may have accrued pursuant to Section 3.02.

(5)                                 Fifth, of the balance, twenty percent (20%) to Manager and eighty percent (80%) to TRSes.

 

3.02.                     Timing of Payments.  Payment of the Aggregate Facility Expenses, excluding the Aggregate Base Fee, shall be made in the ordinary course of business.  The Aggregate Base Fee and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance, based upon Manager’s then estimate of the prior month’s Aggregate Gross Revenues.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance in approximately equal monthly installments, based upon Aggregate Invested Capital most recently reported to Manager by TRSes.  The Aggregate Base Fee and Aggregate TRS Priority Return shall be subject to adjustment by increasing or decreasing the payment due in the following month based upon Aggregate Gross Revenues reflected in the Aggregate Monthly Financial Statements and increases or decreases in Aggregate Invested Capital reported to Manager by TRSes, as the case may be.  If the Aggregate Base Fee is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate and such unpaid amount and accrued interest shall continue to be payable pursuant to clause (2) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years until paid in full.  If the Aggregate TRS Priority Return is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall not continue to be payable pursuant to clause (3) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years, but shall continue to be due

 

3



 

and bear interest at the Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 5.01.  Amounts payable pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be paid on the last Business Day of the January following the end of each calendar year, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Annual Statement for such calendar year.  Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and payments to TRSes pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be allocated among TRSes as TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion, and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

 

3.03.                     Relationship with Management Agreements.  For as long as this Agreement is in effect with respect to a Facility, the provisions of Section 3.01 and 3.02 shall supersede Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of the Management Agreement then in effect for such Facility, and fees payable to Manager pursuant Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall be in lieu of the fees payable under the first sentence of Section 3.01 of the Management Agreements.

 

ARTICLE IV
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

4.01.                     Pooling Agreement Financial Statements.  Manager shall prepare and deliver the following financial statements to TRSes:

 

(a)                            not later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, a consolidated balance sheet and related statement of income and expense of all of the Facilities for such calendar month and for the then current calendar year to date, certified by Manager’s Controller on a monthly basis and by Manager’s Chief Financial Officer on a quarterly basis as being true and correct to the best of his/her knowledge (“Aggregate Monthly Statement”).

 

(b)                            Manager shall also prepare and deliver such other statements or reports as any TRS may, from time to time, reasonably request.

 

4.02.                     Management Agreement Financial Statements.  The financial statements delivered pursuant to this Article IV are in addition to any financial statements required to be prepared and delivered pursuant to the Management Agreements.

 

ARTICLE V
SHORTFALL; NON-ECONOMIC FACILITIES

 

5.01.                     Shortfall.  If in any of three (3) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016) the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has not been paid in full (the aggregate amount of such shortfall, the “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third (3rd) year, TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements identified on Schedule C.  Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall together with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manager may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more frequently than once every four (4) years.  Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a

 

4



 

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

 

5



 

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII

ARTICLE III
PRIORITIES FOR DISTRIBUTION OF AGGREGATE GROSS REVENUES

(1)                                 First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

 

(2)                                 Second, to Manager, to pay the Aggregate Base Fee and any interest that may have accrued pursuant to Section 3.02.

(5)                                 Fifth, of the balance, twenty percent (20%) to Manager and eighty percent (80%) to TRSes.

 

3.02.                     Timing of Payments.  Payment of the Aggregate Facility Expenses, excluding the Aggregate Base Fee, shall be made in the ordinary course of business.  The Aggregate Base Fee and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance, based upon Manager’s then estimate of the prior month’s Aggregate Gross Revenues.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance in approximately equal monthly installments, based upon Aggregate Invested Capital most recently reported to Manager by TRSes.  The Aggregate Base Fee and Aggregate TRS Priority Return shall be subject to adjustment by increasing or decreasing the payment due in the following month based upon Aggregate Gross Revenues reflected in the Aggregate Monthly Financial Statements and increases or decreases in Aggregate Invested Capital reported to Manager by TRSes, as the case may be.  If the Aggregate Base Fee is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate and such unpaid amount and accrued interest shall continue to be payable pursuant to clause (2) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years until paid in full.  If the Aggregate TRS Priority Return is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall not continue to be payable pursuant to clause (3) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years, but shall continue to be due

 

3



 

and bear interest at the Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 5.01.  Amounts payable pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be paid on the last Business Day of the January following the end of each calendar year, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Annual Statement for such calendar year.  Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements.  The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and payments to TRSes pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be allocated among TRSes as TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion, and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

ARTICLE IV
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

4.01.                     Pooling Agreement Financial Statements.  Manager shall prepare and deliver the following financial statements to TRSes:

 

(a)                            not later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, a consolidated balance sheet and related statement of income and expense of all of the Facilities for such calendar month and for the then current calendar year to date, certified by Manager’s Controller on a monthly basis and by Manager’s Chief Financial Officer on a quarterly basis as being true and correct to the best of his/her knowledge (“Aggregate Monthly Statement”).

4.02.                     Management Agreement Financial Statements.  The financial statements delivered pursuant to this Article IV are in addition to any financial statements required to be prepared and delivered pursuant to the Management Agreements.

 

ARTICLE V
SHORTFALL; NON-ECONOMIC FACILITIES

 

5.01.                     Shortfall.  If in any of three (3) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016) the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has not been paid in full (the aggregate amount of such shortfall, the “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third (3rd) year, TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements identified on Schedule C.  Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall together with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manager may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more frequently than once every four (4) years.  Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a

 

4



 

Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.  For the purposes of this Section 5.01, any payments of TRS Priority Return with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of “Aggregate TRS Priority Return” allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has been paid in full for calendar year 2016.

 

5.02.                     Non-Economic Facilities.  If the Gross Revenues of any Facility are insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full during each of two (2) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2016), Manager shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days notice to the relevant TRS, to designate such Facility as a “Non-Economic Facility.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be entitled, without the relevant Owner’s consent, to designate a Facility for which Invested Capital exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Aggregate Invested Capital as a Non-Economic Facility, nor shall Manager be entitled to designate a Facility as a Non-Economic Facility at any time that there are less than six (6) Facilities subject to this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.02 only, Aggregate Invested Capital shall be determined without giving effect to the termination of the Management Agreement for a Non-Economic Facility and without reduction for proceeds from the sale, or deemed sale, of any Non-Economic Facility.  Manager may request an increase in the foregoing twenty percent (20%) threshold at any time, which the relevant Owner may accept or reject in its sole discretion.  For the purposes of this Section 5.02, any payment of Facility Expenses and Base Fees with respect to a Facility under a Management Agreement and (but without duplication) of Aggregate Facility Expenses and Aggregate Base Fees allocated to a Facility under (and as defined in) a prior pooling agreement, in either case, made during calendar year 2016 prior to the Effective Date, will be taken into account in determining whether the Gross Revenues of any Facility have been insufficient to pay all Facility Expenses and the Base Fee for such Facility in full for calendar year 2016.

 

Manager shall market a Facility designated as a Non-Economic Facility for sale and any costs incurred by Manager in connection with such marketing activities and the sale of such Facility shall be paid out of the net proceeds of such sale.  The relevant TRS and Owner shall cooperate with Manager in compiling any relevant information, preparing marketing materials and otherwise in connection with the sale of a Non-Economic Facility.

 

5.03.                     Sale Process.  If a Non-Economic Facility is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 5.02 and Manager receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept on behalf of the relevant TRS and Owner, Manager shall give the relevant TRS prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer and any other information reasonably requested by such TRS.  If the relevant TRS, on behalf of the relevant Owner, shall fail to accept or reject such offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice and other information from Manager, such offer shall be deemed to be accepted.  If the offer is rejected by the relevant TRS on behalf of the relevant Owner, and if Manager elects to continue marketing the Non-Economic Facility by providing written notice to the relevant TRS within seven (7) days of such rejection and Manager does not obtain another offer within ninety (90) days that is accepted by the

 

5



 

relevant TRS, the Non-Economic Facility shall be deemed to have been sold to the relevant TRS on the date, at the price and on such other terms contained in the offer.  If a Non-Economic Facility is sold to a third party or deemed to have been sold to the relevant Owner pursuant to such offer, effective as of the date of sale or deemed sale: (i) the Management Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Non-Economic Facility; (ii) Aggregate Invested Capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds of sale after reduction for the costs and expenses of the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager (or, in the case of a deemed sale, the net proceeds of sale determined by reference to such offer, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any amounts which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated by the relevant TRS, the relevant Owner and/or Manager).  If the reduction in Aggregate Invested Capital is less than the Invested Capital of the Non-Economic Facility sold or deemed to have been sold, the difference shall be proportionately reallocated to the Invested Capital of the remaining Facilities.

 

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

 

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager.  Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets.  One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement.  Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

 

7.01.                     Addition of Facilities.  At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility.  If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be

 

6



 

required.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager.  Additionally, any amounts held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

 

7.02.                     Removal of Facilities.  From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.  If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred.  Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.

 

ARTICLE VIII
TERM AND TERMINATION

Senior Housing Properties Trust Enters Purchase and Lease Transaction for $112.4 Million and Amends Certain Management Arrangements

 

 

Newton, MA (June 29, 2016): Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE:  SNH) today announced that it has entered a $112.4 million purchase and lease transaction for seven assisted living communities (545 living units) located in four states (North Carolina: 3; South Carolina: 2; Tennessee: 1; and Virginia: 1).  The communities are leased under a combination lease that expires at year end 2028, plus renewal options thereafter.  The initial annual rent payable to SNH under the lease will be $8.4 million/yr., or approximately 7.5% of the purchase price.  Starting after 2017, the rent may increase based upon a percentage of gross revenue increases realized by operations at the leased communities.

 

The tenant under the lease will be a subsidiary of Five Star Quality Care, Inc. (NYSE:  FVE) and the lease obligations will be guaranteed by Five Star.

 

SNH funded the purchase of the seven communities with cash on hand and drawings under its $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

Simultaneously with the purchase and lease transaction, SNH and Five Star amended agreements pursuant to which Five Star acts as the manager of certain senior living communities which are operated for the account of SNH’s taxable subsidiaries, or TRSs.  The principal effects of these amendments is to adjust, effective July 1, 2016, certain calculations of management fees payable by SNH to Five Star for the 63 communities which Five Star manages for SNH’s TRSs.  The change in the formulas for calculating these management fees is not expected to have a material impact upon SNH’s earnings from the managed communities, but SNH believes that the revised fee formulas may create incentives for improved performance by Five Star in the future.

 

“SNH is pleased to add these quality assets that produce attractive returns with solid rent coverage to its triple net leased senior living portfolio,” said David Hegarty, President and Chief Operating Officer of SNH.  “These assets fit within our investment strategy of owning high quality private pay senior living assets.  Additionally, we believe the amendments to the TRS arrangements provide our operator with enhanced incentives to improve performance at our managed communities.”

 

Five Star was formerly SNH’s wholly owned subsidiary until Five Star’s shares were distributed to SNH shareholders.  SNH is currently Five Star’s largest shareholder, owning 4,235,000 Five Star common

 

 

 



 

shares (8.6% of the Five Star shares outstanding).  One of the Trustees of SNH is also a Director of Five Star, and both SNH and Five Star have contracted for management services from The RMR Group LLC, the operating subsidiary of The RMR Group Inc. (NASDAQ:  RMR).  Because of these historical and continuing relationships, the terms of the purchase and lease transaction and the amendments to the management arrangements described in this press release were negotiated and approved by Special Committees of Independent Trustees of SNH and Independent Directors of Five Star who are not also Trustees or Directors of the other party and who are independent of RMR, and these Committees were represented by separate legal counsel.

 

Senior Housing Properties Trust is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, which owns senior living communities, medical office buildings and wellness centers located throughout the United States.  SNH is managed by the operating subsidiary of The RMR Group Inc. (NASDAQ:  RMR), an alternative asset management company, which is headquartered in Newton, MA.

 

WARNING REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

THIS PRESS RELEASE INCLUDES STATEMENTS AND HAS IMPLICATIONS WHICH CONSTITUTE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.  ALSO, WHENEVER SNH USES WORDS SUCH AS BELIEVES, EXPECTS, INTENDS, ANTICIPATES, ESTIMATES, WILL, MAY OR SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS, SNH IS MAKING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.  THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED UPON SNH’S CURRENT INTENT, BELIEFS, OR EXPECTATIONS, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR FOR VARIOUS REASONS.  ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE STATED OR IMPLIED BY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.  FOR EXAMPLE:

 

·    THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT THE RENT PAYABLE BY FIVE STAR FOR THE SEVEN COMMUNITIES THAT SNH HAS ACQUIRED MAY INCREASE STARTING AFTER 2017.  SUCH RENT INCREASES UNDER THE LEASE ARE DETERMINED BASED UPON A PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE INCREASES AT THE LEASED COMMUNITIES.  IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHETHER FUTURE REVENUES AT THE LEASED COMMUNITIES WILL INCREASE AND, IN FACT, FUTURE RENTS MAY NOT INCREASE.

 

·    THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT THE CHANGES MADE IN THE CONTRACTS PURSUANT TO WHICH FIVE STAR MANAGES SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES FOR SNH ARE NOT EXPECTED TO HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT UPON SNH’S EARNINGS FROM THE MANAGED COMMUNITIES AND THAT THE REVISED FORMULAS FOR CALCULATING FIVE STAR’S MANAGEMENT FEES MAY CREATE INCENTIVES FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE BY FIVE STAR IN THE FUTURE.  AN IMPLICATION OF THESE STATEMENTS MAY BE THAT SNH WILL BENEFIT FROM THESE CHANGES.  IN FACT, FIVE STAR WILL REALIZE SOME IMMEDIATE BENEFITS FROM CHANGES TO THE MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR CERTAIN COMMUNITIES AND THE BENEFITS WHICH SNH MAY REALIZE FROM THE IMPROVED INCENTIVES DEPEND UPON FIVE STAR’S OWN FUTURE PERFORMANCE.  ACCORDINGLY, THERE CAN

 



 

BE NO ASSURANCE THAT SNH WILL BENEFIT FROM THE CHANGES MADE TO THE CONTRACTS UNDER WHICH FIVE STAR MANAGES COMMUNITIES.

 

·    THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT THE TERMS OF THE TRANSACTIONS ANNOUNCED TODAY WERE NEGOTIATED AND APPROVED BY SPECIAL COMMITTEES OF SNH’S INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES AND FIVE STAR’S INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOT ALSO TRUSTEES OR DIRECTORS OF THE OTHER PARTY AND WHO ARE INDEPENDENT OF RMR, AND THAT THESE COMMITTEES WERE REPRESENTED BY SEPARATE LEGAL COUNSEL.  AN IMPLICATION OF THESE STATEMENTS IS THAT THE TERMS OF THESE TRANSACTIONS WERE SIMILAR TO THE TERMS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED BY NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN UNRELATED PARTIES.  SNH CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE TERMS OF THESE TRANSACTIONS ARE THE SAME AS WOULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED BY NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN UNRELATED PARTIES.  ALSO, THE FACT THAT THESE TERMS WERE NEGOTIATED AND APPROVED BETWEEN RELATED PARTIES MAY CAUSE SOMEONE TO CHALLENGE THESE AGREEMENTS AND SUCH CHALLENGES MAY BE EXPENSIVE TO DEFEND EVEN IF THE CHALLENGES ARE WITHOUT MERIT.

 

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN SNH’S FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR THE SEC, INCLUDING UNDER THE CAPTION “RISK FACTORS” IN SNH’S PERIODIC REPORTS OR INCORPORATED THEREIN, COULD CAUSE SNH’S ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE STATED OR IMPLIED IN THIS PRESS RELEASE.  SNH’S FILINGS WITH THE SEC ARE AVAILABLE AT THE SEC’S WEBSITE AT WWW.SEC.GOV.

 

FOR THESE AND OTHER REASONS, INVESTORS SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS OR THEIR IMPLICATIONS.

 

EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, SNH DOES NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR CHANGE ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.
