1.   Interim Financial Presentation
 
Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in our 2008 Form 10-K, as amended on March 31, 2009. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. We have reclassified certain amounts to conform with the current period presentation.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of us continuing as a going concern. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2009, we disclosed that there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. In response, we have undertaken or expect to commence certain efforts to reduce expenses and preserve liquidity including: (i) extending the term of our Bank Credit Facility to December 2, 2010 (subject to certain conditions as discussed more fully in Note 6); (ii) seeking to reduce operating costs; (iii) seeking to restructure the terms of our other indebtedness including extension of scheduled maturity dates; and (iv) pursuing sales of selected assets. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in achieving any of these efforts.
 
2.   New and Future Accounting Standards
 
New Accounting Standards
 
We adopted provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Fair Value Measurements Topic for non-financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009. We had previously adopted the other provisions of fair value measurement for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008. The provisions are required to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the first fiscal year in which the provisions are applied. Adoption of these provisions of the ASC did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
We adopted provisions of the ASC Business Combination Topic on January 1, 2009. These provisions require most identifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and goodwill acquired in business combinations to be recorded at “full fair value.” Transaction costs are no longer be included in the measurement of the business acquired and instead should be expensed as incurred. These provisions apply prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after 2009.
 
We adopted provisions of the ASC Consolidation Topic on January 1, 2009. These provisions establish new accounting and reporting requirements for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, these provisions require the recognition of a non-controlling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the non-controlling interest is now included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. The provisions also clarify that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions. In addition, the provisions require that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. The provisions also include expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its non-controlling interest. Adoption of the provisions under

the Consolidation Topic regarding non-controlling interests on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On January 1, 2009, we adopted provisions of the ASC Derivative and Hedging Topic which provides guidance on certain disclosures about credit derivatives and certain guarantees. Adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
We adopted provisions of the ASC Investments — Equity Method and Joint Venture Topic effective on January 1, 2009. The intent of these provisions is to clarify the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations related to equity method investments. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
We adopted each of the following provisions to the ASC in the second quarter of 2009. These provisions did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In April 2009, we adopted provisions of the ASC Investments — Debt and Equity Securities Topic which modifies the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to the credit and non-credit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. In addition, increased disclosures are required for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses.
 
In April 2009, we adopted provisions of the ASC Financial Instruments Topic which requires fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Prior to these provisions, the fair values of those assets and liabilities were disclosed only once each year. With the adoption of these provisions, we are now required to disclose this information on a quarterly basis, providing quantitative and qualitative information about fair value estimates for all financial instruments not measured in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
 
In April 2009, we adopted provisions of the ASC Fair Value Measurements Topic which clarifies the methodology used to determine fair value when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. These provisions also reaffirm the objective of fair value measurement, which is to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction. They also reaffirm the need to use judgment to determine if a formerly active market has become inactive, as well as to determine fair values when markets have become inactive.
 
In May 2009, we adopted provisions of the ASC Subsequent Events Topic. These provisions establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued.
 
In the third quarter of 2009, we adopted the ASC as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles. The adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 requires an analysis to be performed to determine whether a variable interest entity gives an enterprise a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Additionally, SFAS 167 requires ongoing assessments as to whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary and eliminates the quantitative approach of FIN 46(R) in determining the primary beneficiary. SFAS 167 is effective for us January 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating whether SFAS 167 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 amends the Fair Value Measurement Topic by providing additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at fair value including how the price of a traded debt security should be considered in estimating the fair value of the issuer’s liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for us for the fourth quarter of 2009. We are currently evaluating whether ASU 2009-05 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) — Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”). It requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. It eliminated the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognized revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables subject to ASU 605-25. ASU 2009-13 is effective for us for the year beginning January 1, 2011. We are currently evaluating whether ASU 2009-13 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
3.   Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the ASC Fair Value Measurements Topic establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels. These levels, in order of highest priority to lowest priority, are described below:
 
Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2:  Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
 
Auction Rate Securities, Marketable Securities and Interest Rate Caps
 
The following table details the auction rate securities, marketable securities and interest rate caps measured at fair value as of September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

At September 30, 2009, we held investments in five Student Loan Auction-Rate Securities (“SLARS”), four with a face amount of $8.0 million and one with a face amount of $6.4 million, for a total of $38.4 million. These SLARS are issued by non-profit corporations and their proceeds are used to purchase portfolios of student loans. The SLARS holders are repaid from cash flows resulting from the student loans in a trust estate. The student loans are 98% guaranteed by the Federal government against default. The interest rate for these five SLARS are reset every 7 to 35 days. The interest rates at September 30, 2009 ranged from 0.63% to 0.88%. Uncertainties in the credit markets have prevented us and other investors from liquidating our holdings of auction rate securities in recent

auctions. We classify our investments in auction rate securities as trading securities and carry them at fair value. The fair value of the securities at September 30, 2009 was determined to be $31.5 million and we recorded unrealized gains (losses) of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $0.9 million and $(4.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Due to the lack of actively traded market data, the valuation of these securities was based on Level 3 unobservable inputs. These inputs include an analysis of sales discounts realized in the secondary market, as well as assumptions about risk after considering recent events in the market for auction rate securities. The discount range of SLARS in the secondary market ranged from 16% to 38% at September 30, 2009 with an average SLARS discount on closed deals of 23% at September 30, 2009.
 
In October 2009, $8.0 million of our auction rate securities were called and redeemed at par. These securities were carried at an estimated fair value of $6.4 million on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009. As a result, we will recognize a gain on the redemption of those securities of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The proceeds from the disposition of these securities will be reflected as restricted cash as it relates to our insurance reserves.
 
The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances for the auction rates securities using fair value measurements based on significant unobservable inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

At September 30, 2009, we have an investment in marketable securities related to a consolidated entity in which we have control but no ownership interest. The fair value of the investment is approximately $2.2 million. The valuation was based on Level 1 data.
 
At September 30, 2009, we have interest rate caps relating to mortgage debt for 16 of our wholly owned communities. The fair value of the interest rate caps is approximately $0.1 million at September 30, 2009. The valuation was based on Level 2 prevailing market data.

In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded our land parcels held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. We used appraisals, market knowledge and broker opinions of value to determine fair value. As the carrying value of some of the assets was in excess of the fair value less estimated costs to sell, we recorded a charge of $1.3 million which is included in operating expenses under impairment of long-lived assets.
 
In the third quarter of 2009, all of the criteria were met for additional parcels of land, two closed construction sites and a closed property to be classified as assets held for sale. We recorded them at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. We used appraisals, market knowledge and brokers opinions of value to determine fair value. As the carrying value of some of the assets was in excess of the fair value less estimated costs to sell, we recorded a charge of $0.8 million which is included in operating expenses under impairment of long-lived assets.
 
Assets Held and Used
 
In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $15.8 million related to certain operating communities that are held and used as the carrying value of these assets was in excess of the fair value. We also recorded impairment charges of $7.9 million for certain land parcels held and used as the carrying value of these assets was in excess of the fair value. We used appraisals and recent sales to estimate fair value of all of these assets. The charges are included in operating expenses under impairment of long-lived assets.
 
In the third quarter of 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $9.1 million related to certain operating communities that are held and used as the carrying value of these assets was in excess of the fair value. We used an appraisal for one community and applied a cost of capital rate to the communities’ average net operating income to arrive at fair value for all the other communities. The impairment charge is included in operating expenses under impairment of long-lived assets.

Other Fair Value Information
 
Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, equity investments and other current assets and liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values. At September 30, 2009, the carrying amount of our cost method investment is $5.5 million. The fair value of the cost method investment was not estimated as there were no events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment, and we determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investment.
 
The fair value of our debt has been estimated based on current rates offered for debt with the same remaining maturities and comparable collateralizing assets. Changes in assumptions or methodologies used to make estimates may have a material effect on the estimated fair value. We have applied Level 2 and Level 3 type inputs to determine the estimated fair value of our debt. Note that debt is reflected on the face of our consolidated balance sheets at the stated value, except for the German debt which was initially recorded at fair value at September 1, 2008. The following table details by category the principal amount, the average interest rate and the estimated fair market value of our debt (in thousands):

4.   Investments in Unconsolidated Communities
 
During the first quarter of 2009, a U.K. venture in which we have a 20% interest sold three communities to a different U.K. venture in which we have a 10% interest. As a result of the gains on these asset sales recorded in the venture, we recorded earnings in unconsolidated communities of $19.0 million. When the first U.K. venture was formed, we established a bonus pool in respect to the venture for the benefit of employees and others responsible for the success of the venture. At the time, we agreed with our venture partner that after certain return thresholds were met, we would each reduce our percentage interests in the venture distributions with such excess to be used to fund

these bonus pools. During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded bonus expense of $1.1 million with respect to the bonus pool relating to the U.K. venture. We did not record any additional bonus expense related to this venture in the second and third quarters of 2009.
 
In March 2009, a venture in which we have a 20% interest received a notice of default from its lender for alleged violation of financial covenants and other matters. Based on the notice of default from the lender and poor rental experience in the venture, we considered our equity to be other than temporarily impaired and wrote off the balance, $1.1 million, in March 2009. In addition, based on discussions with the lender as of March 31, 2009, we believed that the lender did not intend to fund to the venture the amount that would be necessary to repay our receivables and accordingly, any repayment of our receivables from advances we made to the venture would need to be from excess proceeds from the ultimate sale of the community after the loan has been repaid. We did not believe that collectability of our receivable was reasonably assured and we wrote-down the carrying value of our receivable, $5.4 million, to zero in March 2009. We made additional advances of $0.8 million in the second and third quarters of 2009 which are fully reserved at September 30, 2009. In the third quarter of 2009, the residents were relocated to other senior living facilities and the facility was shut down. The lender is in the process of foreclosing on the asset.

6.   Bank Credit Facility and Debt
 
Bank Credit Facility
 
On March 23, 2009, we entered into the Eleventh Amendment to our Bank Credit Facility. The Eleventh Amendment, among other matters, suspended until May 1, 2009 the obligation of the lenders under the Bank Credit Facility to (1) advance any additional proceeds of the loans to the borrowers under the Bank Credit Facility or (2) issue any new letters of credit. However, the lenders agreed to renew certain scheduled outstanding letters of credit in accordance with the annual renewal provisions of such letters of credit. The Eleventh Amendment also waived compliance with certain financial covenants of the Bank Credit Facility through April 29, 2009 and the applicability of certain cross-default provisions through April 30, 2009.
 
The Eleventh Amendment also permanently reduced the aggregate commitments of the lenders under the Bank Credit Facility from $160.0 million to $118.0 million (outstanding borrowings of $93.5 million plus outstanding letters of credit of $24.5 million at the time of the Eleventh Amendment).
 
On April 28, 2009, we entered into the Twelfth Amendment to the Bank Credit Facility. The significant terms include:
 
  •  waiver of all existing financial covenants through December 2, 2009, the maturity date of the Bank Credit Facility;
 
  •  agreement for renewal of existing letters of credit;
 
  •  an amendment fee of $0.5 million;
 
  •  authorization to consummate certain transactions;
 
  •  restriction on the disposition of assets except to permit the transfer of scheduled assets;
 
  •  requirement to maintain minimum cash balance as of the last day of each month and of not less than $5 million at any time;
 
  •  a cash sweep as of the last day of October and November 2009 to reduce principal equal to the greater of consolidated cash in excess of $35 million or $2 million; and
 
  •  a permanent reduction of the commitment after an agreed-upon repayment of the outstanding balance from dispositions consented to by our lenders, federal income tax refunds of $20.8 million and payments received from the cash sweep.
 
On October 19, 2009, we entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to the Bank Credit Facility. The significant terms include:
 
  •  an extension of the maturity date from December 2, 2009 to December 2, 2010;
 
  •  renewal of existing letters of credit;
 
  •  an amendment fee of $0.5 million of which $250,000 was paid on October 19, 2009 and $250,000 to be paid upon the earlier of the sale of properties or January 4, 2010;
 
  •  principal payment of $6.0 million which was paid on October 19, 2009;
 
  •  principal payments previously due on October 31 and November 30, 2009 are no longer due;
 
  •  modifies the minimum liquidity covenant to not less than $10.0 million of unrestricted cash on hand the last day of the month;

  •  modifies the restriction on the disposal of assets to permit disposition of certain assets as long as 50% of the net sale proceeds are allocated to the lenders;
 
  •  the proceeds from the pending sale of 21 properties are allocated as follows:
 
  •  a principal payment of $25 million;
 
  •  $20 million deposited into a collateral account for the benefit of other creditors;
 
  •  either cause a return of $3.7 million in letters of credit or make a principal payment of that same amount;
 
  •  if the pending sale of the 21 properties does not close by June 30, 2010, we will either make a principal payment of $28.7 million or make a $5 million principal payment, pay an additional $1 million extension fee and grant mortgage liens junior to existing mortgages or a perfected first priority pledge of and security interest in, the equity interests in the entities owning 16 certain properties (the granting of such mortgages of security interest is subject to the existing mortgage lenders’ consent). If we are unable to deliver these items, the Bank Credit Facility will be in default and become due and payable; and
 
  •  a permanent reduction of the commitment after future principal repayments or cancellation of letters of credit.
 
We have no borrowing availability under the Bank Credit Facility, and we have significant scheduled debt maturities in 2009 and 2010 and significant long-term debt that is in default. We are endeavoring to extend debt maturity dates, re-finance debt and obtain waivers from applicable lenders. We are engaged in discussions with various venture partners and third parties regarding the sale of certain assets with the purpose of increasing liquidity and reducing obligations to enable us to continue operations.
 
In April 2009, we received federal income tax refunds of $20.8 million which was used to pay down the Bank Credit Facility and $1 million of the proceeds from the sale of our equity interest and receivable from the Aston Gardens venture was also used to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. In June 2009, $2.5 million of proceeds from an agreement with Trinity’s prior owners (Note 12) was used to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. At September 30, 2009, the outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility were $68.9 million. On October 19, 2009, after paying $6.0 million of principal in connection with the Thirteenth Amendment, the outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility were $62.9 million.

Sunrise ventures have total debt of $4.2 billion with near-term scheduled debt maturities of $69.7 million in 2009 and $576.1 million in 2010. Of this $4.2 billion of debt, there is long-term debt that is in default of $1.4 billion. The debt in the ventures is non-recourse to us with respect to principal payment guarantees and we and our venture partners are working with the venture lenders to obtain covenant waivers. However, in certain cases, we have provided operating deficit and completion guarantees to the lenders or ventures. We have minority non-controlling interests in these ventures. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2008 Form 10-K, as amended, for a list of our ventures and our related ownership interest.
 
7.   Gains on the Sale of Real Estate
 
We accounted for the sale of three communities in 2004 under the profit-sharing method of accounting as we provided a guarantee to make monthly payments to the buyer equal to the amount by which a net operating income target exceeded actual net operating income for the communities for an extended period of time. The guarantee expired in the second quarter of 2009 and we recorded a gain of approximately $8.9 million. In addition, we recognized gains of approximately $2.3 million and $9.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, relating to transactions which recognition of gain had been previously deferred due to various forms of continuing involvement and are being accounted for under the basis of performance method of accounting.

8.   Income Taxes
 
The (provision for) benefit from income taxes related to continuing operations was $(1.0) million and $33.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1.4 million and $49.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our effective tax (rate) benefit from continuing operations was (2.63)% and 46.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 1.56% and 37.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2008, we determined that deferred tax assets in excess of reversing tax liabilities were not likely to be realized and we recorded a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. Income tax expense of $4.8 million attributable to gains in discontinued operations recorded in the first quarter of 2009 reversed in the second quarter due to current period losses in discontinued operations. As of September 30, 2009, we are continuing to offset our net deferred tax asset by a full valuation allowance.
 
The IRS is currently examining our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2005 through 2008. There are no income tax returns under audit by the Canadian government with the years after 2004 remaining open and subject to audit. The German government is currently auditing income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2008. During the third quarter, the 2003-2005 German audits were closed resulting in no significant adjustments. There are no returns under audit by the U.K. government with years after 2004 remaining open and subject to audit. At this time, we do not expect the results from any income tax audit to have a material impact on our financial statements; however, it is reasonably possible that the amount of the FIN 48 state liability for unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $2 to $3 million during the remainder of 2009.
 
9.   Stock-Based Compensation
 
In February 2009, we granted 14 employees non-qualified stock options to purchase 360,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.77. One-third of the options vest yearly beginning in 2010. In 2009, 131,998 shares of restricted stock have vested.
 
In addition in May 2009, we accelerated the vesting of our former chief financial officer’s stock options and restricted stock per the terms of his separation agreement (refer to Note 11). The options expire 12 months after the termination of his consulting term, which can be up to nine months after his termination date of May 29, 2009. 70,859 shares of restricted stock and 750,000 options vested. We recorded non-cash compensation expense of $0.8 million as a result of the vesting acceleration.
 
In August 2009, we granted three employees non-qualified stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.34. These options vest one-third per year beginning in 2010.

Aston Gardens
 
In July 2008, we received notice of default from our equity partner alleging a default under our management agreement for six communities as a result of the venture’s receipt of a notice of default from a lender. In December 2008, the venture’s debt was restructured and we entered into an agreement with our venture partner under which we agreed to resign as managing member of the venture and manager of the communities when we are released from various guarantees provided to the venture’s lender.
 
At loan inception, we provided the lender a guarantee of monthly principal and interest payments and during 2008 we made payments under this guarantee since the venture did not have enough available cash flow to cover the default interest payments. Advances under this guarantee are recoverable in the form of a loan in a capital or refinancing event prior to the repayment of capital to the partners but subordinate to the repayment of the debt. Through April 30, 2009, the date we sold our equity interest in Aston Gardens, we had funded $7.0 million under this guarantee which was fully reserved at the time of sale.
 
On April 30, 2009, we sold our 25% equity interest in the venture and were released from all guarantee obligations. Our management contract was terminated on April 30, 2009. We received proceeds of approximately $4.8 million for our equity interest and our receivable from the venture for fundings under the operating deficit guarantees. We received management fees of $3.2 million and $3.7 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Fountains
 
In 2008, the Fountains venture, in which we hold a 20% interest, failed to comply with the financial covenants in the venture’s loan agreement. The lender has been charging a default rate of interest (5.51% at September 30, 2009) since April 2008. At loan inception, we provided the lender a guarantee of operating deficits including payments of monthly principal and interest payments, and in 2008 we funded payments under this guarantee as the venture did not have enough available cash flow to cover the full amount of the interest payments at the default rate. Advances under this guarantee are recoverable in the form of a loan to the venture, which must be repaid prior to the repayment of equity capital to the partners, but is subordinate to the repayment of other venture debt. Through September 30, 2009, we have funded $14.2 million under this operating deficit guarantee which also has been written-down to zero. These advances under the operating deficit guarantee are in addition to the $12.8 million we have funded under our income support guarantee to our venture partner, which has been written-down to zero.

In January 2009, we informed the venture’s lenders and our venture partner that we were suspending payment of default interest and payments under the income support guarantee, and that we would seek a comprehensive restructuring of the loan, our operating deficit guarantees and our income support guarantee. Our failure to pay default interest on the loan was an additional default of the loan agreement. In October 2009, we entered into agreements with our venture partner, as well as with the lender to release us from all claims that our venture partner and the lender had against us prior to the date of the agreements and from all of our future funding obligations in connection with the Fountains portfolio.
 
Pursuant to the agreements relating to the Fountains portfolio, the lender and our venture partner released us from all past and future funding commitments in connection with the Fountains portfolio, as well as from all other liabilities prior to the date of the agreements arising under the Fountains joint venture, loan and management agreements, including obligations under operating deficit and income support obligations. We will retain certain management and operating obligations going forward during a temporary transition period.
 
In exchange for these releases, we have, among other things:
 
  •  Transferred our 20-percent ownership interest in the Fountains joint venture to our joint venture partner;
 
  •  Contributed vacant land parcels adjacent to six of the Fountains communities and owned by us to the Fountains venture;
 
  •  Agreed to transition from management of the 16 Fountains communities as soon as the transition closing conditions are met and the new manager has obtained the regulatory approvals necessary to assume control of the facilities (we expect to transition from management of the Fountains communities during the course of 2010); and
 
  •  Agreed to repay the venture the management fee we had earned to date in 2009 of $1.8 million.
 
The contributed vacant land parcels were carried on our consolidated balance sheet at a book value of $12.9 million at September 30, 2009, in addition to a guarantee liability of $12.9 million both of which will be written off upon closing of the transaction resulting in no gain or loss.
 
Senior Living Condominium Project
 
In 2006, we sold a majority interest in one condominium venture and one related assisted living venture to third parties. In conjunction with the development agreement for this project, we agreed to be responsible for actual project costs in excess of budgeted project costs of more than $10.0 million (subject to certain limited exceptions). The $10.0 million is recoverable as a loan from the venture. Through September 30, 2009, we have paid $50.7 million in cost overruns. Construction of this project is now complete. We account for the condominium and assisted living ventures under the profit-sharing method of accounting, and our investment carrying value at September 30, 2009 is $13.5 million for the two ventures, which includes our $10.0 million recoverable loan and advances we have made to the ventures. We recorded a loss of $2.9 million and $9.9 million from the two ventures in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The pace of sales of condominium units and prices could impact the recovery of our investment carrying value. The weak economy in the Washington, D.C. area will require us to implement more aggressive marketing and sales plans. No assurance can be given that additional pre-tax charges will not be required in subsequent periods with respect to this condominium venture.
 
In July 2009, the lender notified us that an event of default had occurred. The event of default was related to providing certain financial information for the venture that the lender had previously requested. In October 2009, we received a notice of default related to the nonpayment of interest. We are in discussions with the lender on these matters.

Agreements with Marriott International, Inc.
 
Our agreements with Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) related to our purchase of Marriott Senior Living Services, Inc. in 2003 provide that Marriott has the right to demand that we provide cash collateral security for Assignee Reimbursement Obligations, as defined in the agreements, in the event that our implied debt rating is not at least B- by Standard and Poors or B1 by Moody’s Investor Services. Assignee Reimbursement Obligations relate to possible liability with respect to leases assigned to us in 2003 and entrance fee obligations assumed by us in 2003 that remain outstanding (approximately $53.4 million at September 30, 2009). Marriott has informed us that they reserve all of their rights to issue a Notice of Collateral Event under the Assignment and Reimbursement Agreement.
 
Other
 
Generally, the financing obtained by our ventures is non-recourse to the venture members, with the exception of the debt repayment guarantees discussed above. However, we have entered into guarantees with the lenders with respect to acts which we believe are in our control, such as fraud or voluntary bankruptcy of the venture, that create exceptions to the non-recourse nature of debt. If such acts were to occur, the full amount of the venture debt could become recourse to us. The combined amount of venture debt underlying these guarantees is approximately $3.3 billion at September 30, 2009. We have not funded under these guarantees, and do not expect to fund under such guarantees in the future.
 
To the extent that a third party fails to satisfy an obligation with respect to two continuing care retirement communities we manage, we would be required to repay this obligation, the majority of which is expected to be refinanced with proceeds from the issuance of entrance fees as new residents enter the communities. At September 30, 2009, the remaining liability under this obligation is $45.2 million. We have not funded under these guarantees, and do not expect to fund under such guarantees in the future.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
HCP, Inc.
 
In June 2009, various affiliates of HCP, Inc. and their associated tenant entities filed nine complaints in the Delaware Court of Chancery naming the Company and several of its subsidiaries as defendants. The complaints allege monetary and non-monetary defaults under a series of owner and management agreements that govern nine portfolios comprised of 64 properties with annual management fees of approximately $25.4 million in 2008 and $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We have $18.5 million of unamortized management contract intangibles relating to these contracts. In each case, the plaintiffs include (a) the HCP affiliates that own various assisted living community properties that are managed by Sunrise, and (b) certain tenant entities alleged to be independent from HCP that lease those properties from HCP affiliates and have management agreements with Sunrise. The complaints assert claims for (1) declaratory judgment; (2) injunctive relief; (3) breach of contract; (4) breach of fiduciary duties; (5) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty; (6) equitable accounting; and (7) constructive trust. The complaints seek equitable relief, including a declaration of a right to terminate the agreements, disgorgement, unspecified money damages, and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiffs filed a motion to expedite the proceedings. Following briefing by the parties, the Delaware Court of Chancery on July 9, 2009 denied the Plaintiff’s motion. In July 2009, various affiliates of HCP, Inc. and their associated tenant entities refiled a complaint, which had been voluntarily withdrawn in the Delaware actions, in the federal district court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Virginia action”). On August 17, 2009, Sunrise answered all of the complaints in both jurisdictions and asserted counterclaims.

Trinity OIG Investigation and Qui Tam Action
 
As previously disclosed, on September 14, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Trinity Hospice Inc. (“Trinity”). As a result of this transaction, Trinity became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On January 3, 2007, Trinity received a subpoena from the Phoenix field office of the OIG requesting certain information regarding Trinity’s operations in three locations for the period January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2006, a period that was prior to the Company’s acquisition of Trinity. The Company was advised that the subpoena was issued in connection with an investigation being conducted by the Commercial Litigation Branch of the U.S. Department of Justice and the civil division of the U.S. Attorney’s office in Arizona. The subpoena indicates that the OIG is investigating possible improper Medicare billing under the FCA. In addition to recovery of any Medicare reimbursements previously paid for false claims, an entity found to have submitted false claims under the FCA may be subject to treble damages plus a fine of between $5,500 and $11,000 for each false claim submitted. Trinity has complied with the subpoena and continues to supplement its responses as requested.
 
On September 11, 2007, Trinity and the Company were served with a complaint filed on September 5, 2007 in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. That filing amended a complaint filed under seal on November 21, 2005 by four former employees of Trinity under the qui tam provisions of the FCA. On July 3, 2008, an amended complaint was revised in the form of a second amended complaint which replaced the loss sustained range of $75 million to $100 million with an alleged loss by the United States of at least $100 million. The original complaint named KRG Capital, LLC (an affiliate of former stockholders of Trinity) and Trinity Hospice LLC (a subsidiary of Trinity) as defendants. The second amended complaint names Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., KRG Capital, LLC, aka KRG Capital Partners, LLC, KRG Capital, LLC, KRG Capital Fund II, L.P., KRG Capital Fund II (PA), L.P., KRG Capital Fund II (FF), L.P., KRG Co-Investment, L.L.C., American Capital Strategies, LTD, and Trinity as defendants. On October 21, 2008, the United States, through the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona, filed a motion with the District Court to intervene in the pending case, but only as the case relates to defendant Trinity Hospice, Inc.
 
All parties entered into a settlement agreement on June 3, 2009 which was subsequently approved by the District Court. The lawsuit is styled United States ex rel. Joyce Roberts, et al., v. KRG Capital, LLC, et al., CV05 3758 PHX-MEA (D. Ariz.).
 
On February 13, 2008, Trinity received a subpoena from the Los Angeles regional office of the OIG requesting information regarding Trinity’s operations in 19 locations for the period between December 1, 1998 through February 12, 2008. It is anticipated that further response to this subpoena, as well as the subpoena issued by the OIG Phoenix field office noted above, will be unnecessary upon final closure of the Qui Tam action.
 
IRS Audit
 
The Internal Revenue Service is auditing our federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2005 through 2008. In July 2008, our 2005 federal income tax return audit was settled with the IRS, resulting in a tax liability of approximately $0.2 million. In January 2009, the IRS reopened the audit of our 2005 federal income tax return as a result of a refund claim filed with our 2007 federal income tax return relating to the 2007 net operating loss carryback for which we were seeking reimbursement of a certain portion of the federal income taxes we had paid in 2005.
 
In February 2009, we settled with the IRS on our employment tax audits and paid a penalty of $0.2 million in November 2008 for the years 2004, 2005, and 2006. The IRS determined that we were liable for payroll tax deposit penalties on stock option exercises during 2004, 2005, and 2006 for certain withholdings that were made after the prescribed due dates.

SEC Investigation
 
We previously announced on December 11, 2006 that we had received a request from the SEC for information about insider stock sales, timing of stock option grants and matters relating to our historical accounting practices that had been raised in media reports in the latter part of November 2006 following receipt of a letter by us from the Service Employees International Union. On May 25, 2007, we were advised by the staff of the SEC that it had commenced a formal investigation. We have fully cooperated, and intend to continue to fully cooperate, with the SEC. The Company has commenced discussions with the SEC staff concerning potential resolution of the matter and conclusion of the investigation.
 
Putative Class Action Litigation
 
Two putative securities class actions, styled United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 880-Retail Food Employers Joint Pension Fund, et al. v. Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:07CV00102, and First New York Securities, L.L.C. v. Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:07CV000294, were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on January 16, 2007 and February 8, 2007, respectively. Both complaints alleged securities law violations by Sunrise and certain of its current or former officers and directors based on allegedly improper accounting practices and stock option backdating, violations of generally accepted accounting principles, false and misleading corporate disclosures, and insider trading of Sunrise stock. Both sought to certify a class for the period August 4, 2005 through June 15, 2006, and both requested damages and equitable relief, including an accounting and disgorgement. Pursuant to procedures provided by statute, two other parties, the Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust and the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System, appeared and jointly moved for consolidation of the two securities cases and appointment as the lead plaintiffs, which the Court ultimately approved. The cases were consolidated on July 31, 2007. Thereafter, a stipulation was submitted pursuant to which the new putative class plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint (under the caption In re Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 07-CV-00102-RBW) on June 6, 2008. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and names as defendants the Company, Paul J. Klaassen, Teresa M. Klaassen, Thomas B. Newell, Tiffany L. Tomasso, Larry E. Hulse, Carl G. Adams, Barron Anschutz, and Kenneth J. Abod.
 
On February 27, 2009, Sunrise and its current or former directors or officers who were named individually as defendants entered into an agreement. The settlement calls for the certification by the court of a class consisting of persons (with certain exceptions) who purchased Sunrise common stock between February 26, 2004 and July 28, 2006, and payment of $13.5 million in cash into an interest-bearing escrow account by March 6, 2009.
 
Concurrently with entering into the settlement agreement, Sunrise and the Individual Defendants also are entering into agreements and releases with two of its insurance carriers, which provided primary and excess insurance coverage, respectively, under certain Directors’ and Officers’ Liability insurance policies for the relevant periods. The two insurance carriers are combining to pay $13.4 million toward the settlement amount, which will exhaust the coverage limits under the primary policy (after taking account of prior payments for related defense costs), but will not exhaust coverage limits under the excess policy. These payments pursuant to the settlement were made under the then applicable policies and, therefore, do not reduce the amount of insurance proceeds available under current policies now in effect. Sunrise and the Individual Defendants have provided releases to the carrier. Taking into account the insurance contribution, the net cost of the settlement of the putative securities class action lawsuit to Sunrise is expected to be approximately $0.1 million. No amounts are to be paid by the Individual Defendants.
 
The settlement agreement was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on June 26, 2009 and follows the settlement agreement entered into on February 19, 2009 by Sunrise and the individuals named as defendants in two putative stockholder derivative actions brought by certain alleged stockholders of Sunrise for the

benefit of the company, entitled In re Sunrise Senior Living Derivative Litigation, Inc., Case No. 1:07CV00143-RBW and Young, et al. v. Klaassen, et al., Case No. 2770-N (CCNCC) which settlement agreement and related funding arrangements are described in greater detail below.
 
Putative Shareholder Derivative Litigation
 
On January 19, 2007, the first of three putative shareholder derivative complaints was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against certain of our current and former directors and officers, and naming us as a nominal defendant. Counsel for the plaintiffs subsequently agreed among themselves to the appointment of lead plaintiffs and lead counsel. On June 29, 2007, the lead plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint, again naming us as a nominal defendant, and naming as individual defendants Paul J. Klaassen, Teresa M. Klaassen, Ronald V. Aprahamian, Craig R. Callen, Thomas J. Donohue, J. Douglas Holladay, William G. Little, David G. Bradley, Peter A. Klisares, Scott F. Meadow, Robert R. Slager, Thomas B. Newell, Tiffany L. Tomasso, John F. Gaul, Bradley G. Rush, Carl Adams, David W. Faeder, Larry E. Hulse, Timothy S. Smick, Brian C. Swinton and Christian B. A. Slavin. The consolidated case is captioned: In re Sunrise Senior Living Derivative Litigation, Inc, Case No. 1:07CV00143 (the “District of Columbia action”). The consolidated complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duty by the individual defendants, arising out of the same matters as are raised in the purported class action litigation described above. The plaintiffs seek damages and equitable relief on behalf of Sunrise. We and the individual defendants filed separate motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint. Subsequently, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint that did not substantially alter the nature of their claims. The amended consolidated complaint was accepted by the Court and deemed to have been filed on March 28, 2008. We and the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on June 16, 2008. The plaintiffs also filed a motion to lift the stay on discovery in this derivative suit. The motion was denied after briefing.
 
On March 6, 2007, a putative shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware against Paul J. Klaassen, Teresa M. Klaassen, Ronald V. Aprahamian, Craig R. Callen, Thomas J. Donohue, J. Douglas Holladay, David G. Bradley, Robert R. Slager, Thomas B. Newell, Tiffany L. Tomasso, Carl Adams, David W. Faeder, Larry E. Hulse, Timothy S. Smick, Brian C. Swinton and Christian B. A. Slavin, and naming us as a nominal defendant. The case is captioned Peter V. Young, et al. v. Paul J. Klaassen, et al., Case No. 2770-N (CCNCC) (the “Delaware action”). The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duty by the individual defendants arising out of the grant of certain stock options that are the subject of the purported class action and shareholder derivative litigation described above. The plaintiffs seek damages and equitable relief on behalf of Sunrise. We and the individual defendants separately filed motions to dismiss this complaint on June 6, 2007 and June 13, 2007. The plaintiffs amended their original complaint on September 17, 2007. On November 2, 2007, we and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In connection with the motions to dismiss, and at plaintiffs’ request, the Chancery Court issued an order on April 25, 2008 directing us to produce a limited set of documents relating to the Special Independent Committee’s findings with respect to historic stock option grants. We produced those documents to the plaintiffs on May 16, 2008. Supplemental briefing on defendants’ motions to dismiss has been completed and, while the motions were pending, the plaintiffs requested that the Chancery Court stay the action, at least temporarily. The defendants did not oppose that request, and the Chancery Court granted an indefinite stay of proceedings on November 19, 2008, and directed the parties to provide a further status report by February 1, 2009. Following the parties’ status report, in which it was proposed that the stay remain in place, the Chancery Court extended the stay on February 17, 2009, and directed the parties to provide a further report by May 4, 2009.
 
On February 19, 2009, the Company and the individual defendants entered into an agreement to settle the District of Columbia and Delaware actions. Under the terms of this settlement, the Company, in addition to corporate governance measures that it already has implemented or is in the process of implementing, has agreed to (1) require independent directors to certify that they are independent under the rules of the New York Stock

Exchange and to give prompt notification of any changes in their status that would render them no longer independent and (2) implement a minimum two-year vesting period, with appropriate exceptions, for stock option awards to employees. In addition, Paul J. Klaassen, the Company’s non-executive chairman, and the Company have agreed that the 700,000 stock options granted to Mr. Klaassen in conjunction with his previous employment agreement executed in September 2000 will be repriced from (a) $8.50 per share, the price set on September 11, 2000 by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board based on the prior day’s closing price, to (b) $13.09 per share, the closing price on the business day prior to November 10, 2000, the date on which the Company’s full Board approved the terms of the employment agreement. The agreement also provides that if plaintiffs in the District of Columbia action apply to the court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, the Company and/or its insurers will pay the amount so awarded, not to exceed $1.0 million, within 10 days following final approval of the settlement and the fee and expense award. Plaintiffs in the Delaware action will not make any separate application for an award of fees or expenses. The amount of attorneys’ fees and expenses that the court awards to plaintiffs is to be funded by one of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carriers under an applicable policy of insurance. No amounts are to be paid by the Company or by the individual defendants in the District of Columbia and Delaware actions. The settlement was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on June 26, 2009. On August 4, 2009, the court in the Delaware action entered an order formally dismissing that action.
 
Other Pending Lawsuits and Claims
 
In addition to the lawsuits and litigation matters described above, we are involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, although the outcomes of these other suits and claims are uncertain, in the aggregate they are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
11.   Severance and Restructuring Plan
 
In May 2009, we announced a plan to continue to reduce corporate expenses through reorganization of our corporate cost structure, including a reduction in spending related to, among other areas, administrative processes, vendors, and consultants. The plan is designed to reduce our annual recurring general and administrative expenses (including expenses previously classified as venture expense) by over $20 million, from our 2009 budgeted annual recurring level of approximately $120 million (after the sale of Greystone, which is presented in discontinued operations in our financial statements) to approximately $100 million, and to reduce our centrally administered services which are charged to the communities by approximately $1.5 million. Under the plan, approximately 150 positions will be eliminated. As of September 30, 2009, we have eliminated 114 positions and will be eliminating an additional 49 positions by early 2010. We have recorded severance expense of $5.6 million as a result of the plan through September 30, 2009 and expect to record an additional $0.6 million through early 2010. These costs are incremental to the restructuring plan implemented by us in 2008, which provided for the elimination of 165 positions and corresponding expense reductions.
 
In May 2009, we entered into a separation agreement with our chief financial officer, Richard Nadeau, in connection with this plan. Pursuant to the separation agreement, Mr. Nadeau’s employment with us terminated effective as of May 29, 2009. Pursuant to Mr. Nadeau’s employment agreement, Mr. Nadeau received severance benefits that included a lump sum cash payment of $1.4 million. In addition, Mr. Nadeau received a bonus in the amount of $0.5 million and Mr. Nadeau’s outstanding and unvested stock options, restricted stock and other long-term equity compensation awards were fully vested, resulting in a non-cash compensation expense to us of $0.8 million.
 
In September 2009, we terminated a portion of our lease on our corporate headquarters in McLean, Virginia. We recorded a charge of $2.7 million related to the termination.

12.   German Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
 
German Assets Held for Sale
 
We own nine communities (two of which are closed) in Germany. The debt related to these communities has partial recourse to us as the debt for four of the communities of €50.0 million ($73.0 million at September 30, 2009) has a stipulated release price for each community and for the remaining five communities, we have provided guarantees to the lenders of the repayment of the monthly interest payments and principal amortization and operating shortfalls until the maturity dates of the loans. As a result of the violation of a covenant in one of the loan documents, one of the lenders has asserted that we are effectively obligated to repay a portion of the principal at this time. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, in connection with the German debt restructure, we have settled with this lender. The face amount of the total debt related to the German communities at September 30, 2009 is $219.3 million.
 
In January 2009, we informed the lenders to our German communities and the Hoesel land, an undeveloped land parcel, that our German subsidiary was suspending payment of principal and interest on all loans for our German communities and that we would seek a comprehensive restructuring of the loans and our operating deficit guarantees. As a result of the failure to make payments of principal and interest on the loans for our German communities, we are in default of the loan agreements but have entered into standstill agreements with the lenders pursuant to which the lenders have agreed not to foreclose on the communities that are collateral for their loans or to commence or prosecute any action or proceeding to enforce their demand for payment by us pursuant to our operating deficit agreements until the earliest of the occurrence of certain other events relating to the loans.
 
In October 2009, we entered into a restructuring agreement, in the form of a binding term sheet, with two of our lenders to seven of the nine communities, to settle and compromise their claims against us, including under operating deficit and principal repayment guarantees provided by us in support of our German subsidiaries. These two lenders contended that these claims had an aggregate value of approximately $121.6 million. The binding term sheet contemplates that, on or before the first anniversary of the execution of definitive documentation for the restructuring, certain other of our identified lenders may elect to participate in the restructuring with respect to their asserted claims. The claims being settled by the two lenders represent approximately 77.5 percent of the aggregate amount of claims asserted by the lenders that may elect to participate in the restructuring transaction.
 
The restructuring agreement provides that the electing lenders will release and discharge us from certain claims they may have against us. We will issue to the lenders that elect to participate in the restructuring on or before

the first execution of the definitive documentation, their pro rata share of up to an aggregate of 5 million shares of our common stock and will grant mortgages for the benefit of all electing lenders on certain of our unencumbered North American properties. Following the first execution of the definitive documentation for the restructuring, we will pursue the sale of such mortgaged properties and distribute the net sale proceeds to the electing lenders. We have guaranteed that, within 30 months of the first execution of the definitive documentation for the restructuring, the electing lenders will receive a minimum of $58.3 million from the net proceeds of any such sale, which equals 80 percent of the most recent aggregate appraised value of these properties. If the electing lenders do not receive at least $58.3 million by such date, we will make payment to cover any shortfall or, at such lenders’ option, convey to them the remaining unsold properties.
 
In addition, we will market for sale the German assisted living communities subject to loan agreements with the electing lenders and will remain responsible for all costs of operating, preserving and maintaining these communities until the earlier of either their sale or December 31, 2010.
 
The closing of the transaction, including the execution of the definitive documentation, the release of claims and the issuance of Sunrise common stock, is conditioned upon receipt of consent for the transaction from Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent under our Bank Credit Facility, on or before November 11, 2009. In accordance with the binding term sheet, definitive documentation shall be executed as soon as reasonably possible (but no later than 40 days) after the receipt of such required consent.
 
We continue to be liable under certain operating deficit and repayment guarantees for the Klein Flottbeck and Wiesbaden communities, and certain principal repayment guarantees for the Hoesel land which is not part of the restructuring agreement.
 
As of September 30, 2009, we have classified the German communities as assets held for sale. During the second quarter of 2009, we classified the German communities as assets held for sale as all of the following criteria were met:
 
  •  Executive management has committed to a plan to sell the assets;
 
  •  The assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition;
 
  •  There is an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been initiated;
 
  •  The assets are being actively marketed; and
 
  •  The sale of the assets is probable and it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale plan will be made.
 
Upon designation as assets held for sale, we recorded the assets at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less estimated costs to sell. We used the average of the bids received to date in the determination of fair value. As the carrying value of a majority of the assets was in excess of the fair value less estimated costs to sell, during the second quarter of 2009 we recorded a charge of $52.4 million which is included in discontinued operations. Also, upon designation as assets held for sale, the results of operations for the German communities are reported as discontinued operations.

Discontinued Operations
 
In March 2009, we sold our Greystone subsidiary and our interests in Greystone seed capital partnerships to an entity controlled by Michael Lanahan and Paul Steinhoff, two senior executives of the Greystone subsidiary. Total consideration was (i) $2,000,000 in cash at closing; (ii) $5,700,000 in short-term notes, (iii) a $6,000,000 7-year note (iv) a $2,500,000 note payable, and (v) 35% of the net proceeds received by the seed capital investors for each of the seed capital interests purchased from us. We collected $5.7 million of short-term notes through September 30, 2009.
 
As Greystone’s contracts were multiple element arrangements and there was not sufficient objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered elements at each billing milestone, revenue recognition was deferred until the completion of the development contract. The sale of Greystone generated a book gain resulting from the realization of previously deferred revenue. The sale of Greystone generated a tax loss of approximately $40 million. Due to the uncertainty of collectability of the $6.0 million note, initial gain recognition is not appropriate and gain will be recognized as payment is received. The $2.5 million note payable is contingent on future income of Greystone and gain will be recognized when the contingency is resolved and consideration is received.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we determined not to provide any additional funding to our Trinity subsidiary due to our review of our future cash requirements. As of December 31, 2008, Trinity had ceased operations. In order to resolve and settle the claims among us and Trinity’s prior owners, in June 2009, we entered into a settlement agreement with the former majority stockholders of Trinity, which, among other matters, provides for the release and discharge of all claims and causes of action between the parties to the settlement agreement. In consideration of the settlement agreement, the former majority stockholders of Trinity paid us an aggregate amount of approximately $9.8 million. The parties to the settlement agreement also agreed to cooperate to achieve voluntary dismissal of certain litigation matters.
 
We had previously recorded a receivable of $2.7 million from the former stockholders of Trinity for various liabilities relating to events occurring prior to our purchase of Trinity. Accordingly, $2.7 million of the proceeds were applied against the receivable and the remaining amount of $7.1 million has been recorded as income from discontinued operations.
 
In December 2008, two wholly owned communities were sold to unrelated third parties for which we have no continuing involvement. In the second quarter of 2009, a wholly owned community ceased operations. All three of these communities are classified as discontinued operations. In the third quarter of 2009, a wholly owned community was sold to an unrelated third party for approximately $2.0 million. We received $0.3 million of cash and a note receivable for $1.7 million, recognizing gain of $0.3 million. We have no continuing involvement with this property.

Options and restricted stock are included under the treasury stock method to the extent they are dilutive. Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options of 4,668,152 and 3,239,297 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 4,751,099 and 3,261,235 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, have been excluded from the computation because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
14.   Information about Sunrise’s Segments
 
Effective in 2009, we changed our operating segments.  In 2008, we reported five operating segments: domestic operations, international operations (Canada and the United Kingdom), Germany, Greystone and Trinity. We now have six operating segments for which operating results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision makers:
 
North American Management, which is the results from the management of third party, joint venture and wholly owned/leased Sunrise senior living communities in the United States and Canada.
 
North American Development, which is the results from the development of Sunrise senior living communities in the United States and Canada.
 
Equity Method Investments, which is the results from our investment in domestic and international ventures.
 
Consolidated (Wholly Owned/Leased), which is the results from the operation of wholly owned and leased Sunrise senior living communities in the United States and Canada net of an allocated management fee of $6.9 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $20.6 million and $21.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
United Kingdom, which is the results from the development and management of Sunrise senior living communities in the United Kingdom.
 
Germany, which is the results from the management of nine (two of which are closed) Sunrise senior living communities in Germany through September 1, 2008. The operation of nine Sunrise senior living communities after September 1, 2008 when we began consolidating the communities are included in discontinued operations.
 
The old North American segment was split into the new North American Management, North American Development, Equity Method Investments and Consolidated (Wholly Owned/Leased) segments. Results from Canadian operations are now included in the North American Management and Wholly Owned/Leased segments, while previously they were included in the International segment. The operating results from the United Kingdom development and management activities are now its own separate segment. The Germany segment remains unchanged. Greystone, which was sold in March 2009, and Trinity, which ceased operations in December 2008, are now reported as discontinued operations.
 
Our historical segment reporting has been restated to reflect the changes made in 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, significant non-cash transactions included the addition of $166.1 million of fixed assets and $216.7 million of long-term debt as the result of the consolidation of our German venture.
 
17.   Variable Interest Entities
 
Generally accepted accounting principles require if an entity is determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), it must be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns or both. We perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis using the methodology as described under the ASC Consolidation Topic to calculate expected losses to determine if the entity is a VIE. If the entity is a VIE, we determine which party has the greater variability and is the primary beneficiary. At September 30, 2009, we are the primary beneficiary of one VIE and therefore consolidate that entity.
 
VIEs where Sunrise is the Primary Beneficiary
 
We have a management agreement with a not-for-profit corporation established to own and operate a continuing care retirement community (“CCRC”) in New Jersey. This entity is a VIE. The CCRC contains a 60-bed skilled nursing unit, a 32-bed assisted living unit, a 27-bed Alzheimer’s care unit and 252 independent living apartments. We have included $18.4 million and $19.2 million, respectively, of net property and equipment and debt of $23.2 million and $23.9 million, respectively, in our September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheets for this entity. The majority of the debt is bonds that are secured by a pledge of and lien on revenues, a letter of credit with Bank of New York and by a leasehold mortgage and security agreement. We guarantee the letter of credit. Proceeds from the bonds’ issuance were used to acquire and renovate the CCRC. As of September 30, 2009, we guaranteed $21.9 million of the bonds. The entity has incurred losses and has experienced negative working capital for several years and has failed the debt service coverage ratio related to the bonds. Management fees earned by us were $0.1 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $0.4 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The management agreement also provides for reimbursement to us for all direct cost of operations. Payments to us for direct operating expenses were $2.4 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $8.3 million and $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The entity obtains professional and general liability coverage through our affiliate, Sunrise Senior Living Insurance, Inc. The entity incurred $39,334 and $47,992 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to the professional and general liability coverage. The entity also has a ground lease with us. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis at $0.7 million per year. Deferred rent relating to this agreement is $6.0 million and $5.6 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These amounts are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
 
Beginning in September 2008, we consolidated the German communities. In January 2009, we exercised our option and acquired a controlling interest of 94.9% in the German communities. In June 2009, we exercised our option and acquired the remaining 5.1% interest in our German communities therefore wholly owning those communities.
 
We previously consolidated six VIEs that were investment partnerships formed with third-party partners to invest capital in the pre-financing stage of Greystone projects. Five of these investment partnerships were sold as part of the Greystone transaction in March 2009 (refer to Note 12) and we retained ownership in one which we deconsolidated as we are no longer affiliated with the general partner and do not control the entity. We expect that this entity will be dissolved by year end. We own 49.5% of the investment partnership with 50.5% owned by third-parties. The purpose of the venture had been to develop a senior living community owned by a nonprofit entity.

VIEs Where We Are Not the Primary Beneficiary but Hold a Significant Variable Interest in the VIEs
 
In July 2007, we formed a venture with a third party to purchase six communities from our first U.K. development venture. The entity was financed with £187.6 million of debt. The venture also entered into a firm commitment to purchase 11 additional communities from our first U.K. development venture. As of September 30, 2009, the venture has 14 operating communities in the U.K. Our equity investment in the venture is $1.0 million at September 30, 2009. The line item “Due from unconsolidated communities” on our consolidated balance sheet contains $0.7 million due from the venture. Our maximum exposure to loss is our equity investment of $1.0 million. We calculated the maximum exposure to loss as the maximum loss (regardless of probability of being incurred) that we could be required to record in our statement of operations as a result of our involvement with the VIE.
 
In September 2006, a venture was formed to acquire and operate six senior living facilities located in Florida. We owned a 25% interest in the venture as managing member and our venture partner owned the remaining 75% interest. The venture was financed with $156 million of equity and $304 million of debt. In December 2008, the venture’s debt was restructured and we entered into an agreement with our venture partner under which we agreed to resign as managing member of the venture and manager of the communities when we are released from various guarantees provided to the venture’s lender. On April 30, 2009, we sold our equity interest in the venture and were released from all guarantee obligations. Our management contract was terminated on April 30, 2009. We received proceeds of approximately $4.8 million for our equity interest and our receivable from the venture for fundings under the operating deficit guarantees.
 
18.   Related Parties
 
In October 2008, we entered into a contract with SecureNet Payment Systems LLC (“SecureNet”) to provide consulting services in connection with the processing of direct deposit and credit card payments by community residents of their monthly fees. The sales agent representing SecureNet, whose compensation will be based on SecureNet’s revenue from the contract, is the wife of a Sunrise employee. In November 2008, after the award of the contract, that employee became Senior Vice President, North American Operations and an officer of the Company. The Governance Committee reviewed this transaction at its meeting on July 20, 2009 and concluded that the bidding process was done with integrity, that the award to SecureNet appeared to have been in our best interest and that our employee’s relationship to the SecureNet sales representative did not have any influence over the decision to select SecureNet. As of September 30, 2009, $0.1 million of fees were paid to SecureNet.
 
In November 2008, we entered into an oral consulting arrangement with Mr. Klaassen. Under the consulting arrangement, we agreed to pay Mr. Klaassen a fee of $25,000 per month for consulting with us and Mr. Ordan, our new chief executive officer, on senior living matters. This was in addition to any benefits Mr. Klaassen was entitled to under his employment agreement. Fees totaling $87,500 were paid to Mr. Klaassen for three and a half months commencing in November 2008.
 
For additional discussion of related parties transactions, refer to Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2008 Form 10-K, as amended.
 
19.   Subsequent Events
 
Sale of 21 Communities
 
In October 2009, we entered into an agreement to sell 21 wholly owned assisted living communities, located in 11 states, to Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (“Brookdale”) for $204 million. Brookdale placed into escrow an earnest money deposit of $5 million toward the purchase price. The closing date is currently scheduled for November 16, 2009. At the closing of the sale, we expect to receive approximately $60 million in proceeds after payment or assumption by Brookdale of certain mortgage loans, the posting of required escrows, and payment of expenses by

us. We will use $25 million of proceeds to pay down our Bank Credit Facility and will place $20 million into a collateral account for the benefit of other creditors.
 
We recorded an impairment charge of $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2009 to write down five of the 21 communities to fair value. We expect to record a gain on the sale of real estate of approximately $50 million upon closing of the transaction.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read together with the information contained in our consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and other financial information appearing elsewhere herein. This management’s discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that our expectations will be realized. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, our ability to raise funds and maintain sufficient liquidity; our ability to extend the maturity dates of, obtain waivers with respect to, or refinance, some of our outstanding debt; our ability to achieve the anticipated savings from our cost-savings program; the sale of our German communities and the settlement of the related debt; the outcome of the HCP, Inc. litigation; the outcome of the SEC’s investigation; the outcome of the Trinity OIG investigation; risk of changes in our critical accounting estimates; risk of further write-downs or impairments of our assets; risk of future fundings of guarantees and other support arrangements to some of our ventures, lenders to the ventures or third party owners; risk of declining occupancies in existing communities or slower than expected leasing of new communities; development and construction risks; risks associated with past or any future acquisition; compliance with government regulations; risk of new legislation or regulatory developments; business conditions; competition; changes in interest rates; unanticipated expenses; market factors that could affect the value of our properties; the risks of further downturns in general economic conditions; availability of financing for development, including under construction loans as to which we are in default; and other risks detailed in our amended 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2009 as amended on March 31, 2009 and April 30, 2009, and, as may be amended or supplemented in our Form 10-Q filings.

During the first nine months of 2009 we continued to execute a strategy of 1) divesting of non-core assets and unprofitable operations to raise cash, improve our liquidity, avoid significant capital investment and reduce our operating and financial risks and 2) improve the efficiency of our operations and our administrative functions.
 
We had $43.4 million and $29.5 million of unrestricted cash at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The outstanding borrowings on the Bank Credit Facility were $68.9 million at September 30, 2009. On October 19, 2009, we entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to the Bank Credit Facility, which extended the

maturity date to December 2, 2010 (subject to certain conditions as discussed more fully under Liquidity and Capital Resources). We have no borrowing availability under the Bank Credit Facility.

(1) As of 10/19/09, maturity date changed to 12/2/10 (subject to certain conditions).
 
As discussed more fully in Liquidity and Capital Resources, we are in default of the loan agreements relating to our German communities and the Hoesel land, but have entered into standstill agreements with the lenders pursuant to which the lenders have agreed not to foreclose on the communities that are collateral for their loans or to commence or prosecute any action or proceeding to enforce their demand for payment by us pursuant to our operating deficit agreements until the earliest of the occurrence of certain other events relating to the loans.
 
In October 2009, we entered into a restructuring agreement, in the form of a binding term sheet, with two of our lenders to seven of the nine communities, to settle and compromise their claims against us, including under operating deficit and principal repayment guarantees provided by us in support of our German subsidiaries. These two lenders contended that these claims had an aggregate value of approximately $121.6 million. The binding term sheet is discussed more fully in Liquidity and Capital Resources.
 
The restructuring agreement provides that the electing lenders will release and discharge us from certain claims they may have against us. We will issue to the lenders that elect to participate in the restructuring on or before the first execution of the definitive documentation, their pro rata share of up to an aggregate of 5 million shares of our common stock and will grant mortgages for the benefit of all electing lenders on certain of our unencumbered North American properties. Following the first execution of the definitive documentation for the restructuring, we will pursue the sale of such mortgaged properties and distribute the net sale proceeds to the electing lenders. We have guaranteed that, within 30 months of the first execution of the definitive documentation for the restructuring, the electing lenders will receive a minimum of $58.3 million from the net proceeds of any such sale, which equals 80 percent of the most recent aggregate appraised value of these properties. If the electing lenders do not receive at least $58.3 million by such date, we will make payment to cover any shortfall or, at such lenders’ option, convey to

them the remaining unsold properties. As any gain or loss on the transaction is dependent upon the values at closing of the aforementioned consideration, we are unable to estimate any gain or loss at this time.
 
In addition, we will market for sale the German assisted living communities subject to loan agreements with the electing lenders and will remain responsible for all costs of operating, preserving and maintaining these communities until the earlier of either their sale or December 31, 2010.
 
The closing of the transaction, including the execution of the definitive documentation, the release of claims and the issuance of Sunrise common stock, is conditioned upon receipt of consent for the transaction from Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent under our Bank Credit Facility, on or before November 11, 2009. In accordance with the binding term sheet, definitive documentation shall be executed as soon as reasonably possible (but no later than 40 days) after the receipt of such required consent.
 
We continue to be liable under certain operating deficit and repayment guarantees for the Klein Flottbeck and Wiesbaden communities, and certain principal repayment guarantees for the Hoesel land which is not part of the restructuring agreement.
 
In the second quarter of 2009, we engaged a broker to assist in the sale of the nine German communities and at that time, classified the German assets as held for sale. As the book value of the majority of the assets was in excess of their fair value less estimated costs to sell, we recorded a charge of $52.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 which is included in discontinued operations.
 
In January 2009, we suspended payment of default interest and payments under the income support guarantee for the Fountains venture. Our failure to pay default interest on the loan was an additional default of the loan agreement. In October 2009 as described in Note 10 to the Financial Statements, we entered into agreements with our venture partner, as well as with the lender to release us from all claims that our venture partner and the lender had against us prior to the date of the agreements and from all of our future funding obligations in connection with the Fountains portfolio in exchange for which we have, among other things:
 
  •  Transferred our 20-percent ownership interest in the Fountains joint venture to our joint venture partner;
 
  •  Contributed vacant land parcels adjacent to six of the Fountains communities and owned by us to the Fountains venture;
 
  •  Agreed to transition from management of the 16 Fountains communities as soon as the transition closing conditions are met and the new manager has obtained the regulatory approvals necessary to assume control of the facilities (we expect to transition from management of the Fountains communities during the course of 2010); and
 
  •  Agreed to repay the venture the management fee we had earned to date in 2009 of $1.8 million.
 
The contributed vacant land parcels were carried on our consolidated balance sheet at a book value of $12.9 million at September 30, 2009, in addition to a guarantee liability of $12.9 million both of which will be written off upon closing of the transaction resulting in no gain or loss.
 
In March 2009, we sold our Greystone subsidiary and our interests in Greystone seed capital partnerships to an entity controlled by Michael Lanahan and Paul Steinhoff, two senior executives of the Greystone subsidiary. Total consideration was (i) $2,000,000 in cash at closing; (ii) $5,700,000 in short-term notes, (iii) a $6,000,000 7-year note (iv) a $2,500,000 note payable, and (v) 35% of the net proceeds received by the seed capital investors for each of the seed capital interests purchased from us. We collected $5.7 million of short-term notes through September 30, 2009.
 
In April 2009, we sold the equity interest in our Aston Gardens venture and were released from all guarantee obligations. Our management contracts for the six communities in the venture were terminated on April 30, 2009. We received proceeds of approximately $4.8 million for our equity interest and our receivable from the venture for fundings under the operating deficit guarantees. We received management fees of $3.2 million and $3.7 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In May 2009, we announced a plan to continue to reduce corporate expenses through reorganization of our corporate cost structure, including a reduction in spending related to, among other areas, administrative processes, vendors, and consultants. The plan is designed to reduce our annual recurring general and administrative expenses (including expenses previously classified as venture expense) by over $20 million, from our 2009 budgeted annual recurring level of approximately $120 million (after the sale of Greystone, which is presented in discontinued operations in our financial statements) to approximately $100 million, and to reduce our centrally administered services which are charged to the communities by approximately $1.5 million. Under the plan, approximately 150 positions will be eliminated. As of September 30, 2009, we have eliminated 114 positions and will be eliminating an additional 49 positions by early 2010. We have recorded severance expense of $5.6 million as a result of the plan through September 30, 2009 and expect to record an additional $0.6 million through early 2010. The costs from the 2009 restructuring plan are in addition to the costs incurred in 2009 related to the 2008 restructuring plan, which provided for the elimination of 165 positions and corresponding expense reductions.
 
In May 2009, we entered into a separation agreement with our chief financial officer, Richard Nadeau, in connection with this plan. Pursuant to the separation agreement, Mr. Nadeau’s employment with us terminated effective as of May 29, 2009. Pursuant to Mr. Nadeau’s employment agreement, Mr. Nadeau received severance benefits that included a lump sum cash payment of $1.4 million. In addition, Mr. Nadeau received a bonus in the amount of $0.5 million and Mr. Nadeau’s outstanding and unvested stock options, restricted stock and other long-term equity compensation awards were fully vested, resulting in a non-cash compensation expense to us of $0.8 million. The options expire 12 months after the termination of his consulting term, which can be up to nine months after his termination date of May 29, 2009. 70,859 shares of restricted stock and 750,000 options vested. We recorded non-cash compensation expense of $0.8 million as a result of the vesting acceleration.
 
In June 2009, we were terminated as manager for a portfolio of 15 communities. We managed these communities through October 1, 2009. The management fees for the years 2008, 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $3.0 million, $2.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
 
In August 2009, a wholly owned community was sold to an unrelated third party for approximately $2.0 million. We received $0.3 million of cash and a note receivable for $1.7 million, recognizing gain of $0.3 million.
 
In September 2009, we terminated our lease on a portion of our corporate headquarters in McLean, Virginia. We recorded a charge of $2.7 million which is reflected in restructuring expense on our consolidated statement of operations. We expect to save $5.6 million in cash over four years as a result of terminating this portion of the lease.
 
In October 2009, we entered into an agreement to sell 21 wholly owned assisted living communities, located in 11 states, to Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (“Brookdale”) for $204 million. Brookdale placed into escrow an earnest money deposit of $5 million toward the purchase price. The closing date is currently scheduled for November 16, 2009. At the closing of the sale, we expect to receive approximately $60 million in proceeds after payment or assumption by Brookdale of certain mortgage loans, the posting of required escrows, and payment of expenses by us. We will use $25 million of proceeds to pay down our Bank Credit Facility and will place $20 million into a collateral account for the benefit of other creditors.
 
In addition to selling the German communities and the 21 communities to Brookdale, we intend to sell 11 operating communities, of which eight are located in the United States and three in Canada. Of the 11 operating communities, five are collateral for the German lenders and future net proceeds of the remaining six operating communities would be split equally between us and the lenders of the Bank Credit Facility. We also intend to sell one closed community in the United States which is collateral for the German lenders.
 
We intend to sell 16 parcels of land, of which 12 are located in the United States and four in Canada. Of the 16 land parcels, 11 are collateral for the German lenders and future proceeds of the remaining five land parcels after repayment of related debt would be split equally between us and the lenders of the Bank Credit Facility. In addition, we intend to sell two closed construction sites and one building located in the United States which are collateral for the German lenders.

Adjusted (loss) income from ongoing operations is a measure of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as a substitute for income/loss from operations or net income/loss. Adjusted income from ongoing operations is used by management to focus on cash generated from our ongoing operations and to help management assess if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed. As further outlined below, total revenue has decreased without proportionate decreases to expense. As a result, we incurred a loss from ongoing operations for the third quarter of 2009. We are continuing to focus on our cost restructuring initiative as further discussed in Note 11.

Accounting Restatement, Special Independent Committee Inquiry, SEC Investigation and Stockholder Litigation
 
Legal and accounting fees related to the accounting restatement, Special Independent Committee inquiry, SEC investigation and stockholder litigation decreased to $3.5 million in 2009 compared to $26.4 million in 2008. The Special Independent Committee activities and the accounting restatement were completed during the first quarter of 2008. However, we continue to incur legal fees and related expenses in connection with the SEC investigation and stockholder litigation. The stockholder litigation was settled in the second quarter of 2009.
 
Restructuring costs
 
Costs associated with our 2008 and corporate 2009 restructuring plans were $25.9 million in 2009. Costs in 2008 were $7.2 million.
 
Provision for doubtful accounts
 
The provision for doubtful accounts increased $5.6 million during 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to a reserve of $6.2 million for advances to a venture and a $1.6 million reserve write-off of the remaining Aston Gardens operating deficit guarantee. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other reserves.
 
Loss on financial guarantees and other contracts
 
We recorded a loss on our financial guarantees of $1.5 million and $1.7 million during 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to construction cost overrun guarantees on a condominium project and a completion guarantee on an operating property.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
Impairment of long-lived assets was $35.0 million in 2009 and $2.3 million in 2008. The 2009 impairment charge related to 10 operating communities, two discontinued development projects and nine land parcels and in 2008, one community.
 
Costs incurred on behalf of managed communities
 
Costs incurred on behalf of managed communities were $719.7 million in 2009 compared to $749.4 million in 2008. The decrease of 4.0% was due primarily to 32 fewer communities in 2009 than 2008 and higher insurance charges.
 
Other Non-Operating Income and Expense
 
Total other non-operating expense was $4.2 million and $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in other non-operating expense was primarily due to:
 
  •  $2.9 million increase in interest expense due to increased borrowings;
 
  •  $2.5 million decrease in interest income;
 
  •  $4.2 million for net foreign exchange gains in 2009 comprised of the $4.6 million of gain related to the Canadian dollar, $(0.3) million and $(0.1) million of loss related to the British pound and Euro, respectively, compared to $(2.9) million of net foreign exchange losses in 2008 comprised of $(2.0) million and $(1.0) million of loss related to the Canadian dollar and British pound, respectively, and $0.1 million of gain related to the Euro; and

Gain on the Sale and Development of Real Estate and Equity Interests
 
Gain on the sale and development of real estate and equity interests was $20.3 million and $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The gain in 2009 primarily resulted from transactions which occurred in prior years for which the recognition of gain had been deferred due to various forms of continuing involvement. We accounted for the sale of three communities in 2004 under the profit-sharing method of accounting as we provided guarantees to make monthly payments to the buyer equal to the amount by which a net operating income target exceeded actual net operating income for the community for an extended period of time. The guarantee expired in the second quarter of 2009 and we recorded a gain of approximately $8.9 million. During the first nine months of 2008, we completed the recapitalization of a venture with two underlying properties. As a result of this recapitalization, guarantees that were requiring us to use the profit-sharing method were released and we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $6.7 million. In addition, we recognized a gain of $1.1 million from the sale of three land parcels.

The increase in our share of income (losses) in unconsolidated communities of $32.4 million was primarily due to our UK venture, in which we have a 20% interest, selling three communities to a venture in which we have a 10% interest. As a result of sales, the venture recorded a gain of which we recognized $19.0 million for our equity interest in the earnings. In addition, there were non-recurring losses in 2008 of $11.6 million and $2.4 million from our Fountains and Aston Gardens ventures, respectively, and operating losses from joint ventures were smaller in 2009 compared to 2008.
 
Distributions from operations from investments where the book value is zero and we have no contractual or implied obligation to support the venture were $2.1 million lower in 2009 than 2008. During the first nine months of 2008, the expiration of contractual obligations resulted in the recognition of $9.2 million of gain and the recapitalization of one venture resulting in a return on investment of $3.3 million.
 
In March 2009, based on the receipt of a notice of default from the lender to a venture in which we own a 20% interest and the poor rental experience in the venture, we consider our equity to be other than temporarily impaired and wrote off the remaining equity balance of $1.1 million.
 
In June 2009, we determined the fair value of our investment in a venture in which we had a 1% interest had decreased to zero and was other than temporarily impaired. We wrote our investment down to zero and recorded an impairment charge of $0.1 million.
 
(Loss) Income from Investments Accounted for Under the Profit-Sharing Method
 
(Loss) income from investments accounted for under the profit-sharing method was $(9.2) million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The losses in 2009 were generated from our condominium community that recently opened and where profits associated with condominium sales are required to be deferred until such time as 50 percent of units are sold.
 
Benefit from Income Taxes
 
The benefit from income taxes allocated to continuing operations was $1.4 million and $49.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our effective tax benefit was 1.56% and 37.6% for

Table of Contents

the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2008, we determined that deferred tax assets in excess of reversing tax liabilities were not likely to be realized and we recorded a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. Income tax expense of $4.8 million attributable to gains in discontinued operations recorded in the first quarter of 2009 was reversed in the second quarter due to current period losses in discontinued operations. As of September 30, 2009, we are continuing to offset our net deferred tax asset by a full valuation allowance.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
Discontinued operations consists of our German communities which we are marketing for sale, our Greystone subsidiary which was sold in the first quarter of 2009, our Trinity subsidiary which ceased operations in the fourth quarter of 2008, one community sold in the third quarter of 2009, one community which was closed in the second quarter of 2009 and two communities which were sold in 2008 and for which we have no continuing involvement.
 
Germany’s loss, included in discontinued operations, was $73.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 which included an impairment charge of $52.4 million. Greystone’s income includes $23.7 million of gain related to its sale.
 
In order to resolve and settle the claims among us and Trinity’s prior owners, in June 2009, we entered into a settlement agreement with the former majority stockholders of Trinity, which, among other matters, provides for the release and discharge of all claims and causes of action between the parties to the settlement agreement.
 
In consideration of the settlement agreement, the former majority stockholders of Trinity paid us an aggregate amount of approximately $9.8 million. The parties to the settlement agreement also agreed to cooperate to achieve voluntary dismissal of certain litigation matters.
 
In exchange for the consideration, we and the former majority stockholders of Trinity have reciprocally released each other from any and all claims that each such parties had against other such parties relating to any matters through the date of the settlement agreement.
 
We had previously recorded a receivable of $2.7 million from the former stockholders of Trinity for various liabilities relating to events occurring prior to our purchase of Trinity. Accordingly, $2.7 million of the proceeds were applied against the receivable and the remaining amount of $7.1 million has been recorded as income from discontinued operations.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We had $43.4 million and $29.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Since January 1, 2009, we have had no borrowing availability under the Bank Credit Facility; as a result, during 2009, we have been and currently are financing our operations primarily with cash generated from operations and sales of assets, including the sale of our Greystone subsidiary in March 2009 and the sale of our Aston Gardens equity interest in April 2009.
 
In connection with communities under construction, we have provided project completion guarantees to venture lenders. In addition, we have provided operating deficit guarantees to venture lenders. These financial guarantees are designed to assure completion of development projects in the event of cost overruns, and, after depletion of reserves established in the loan agreements, guarantee scheduled principal amortization and interest during the term of the guarantee. We are not in compliance with one of these construction loans, and, as a result the lenders could cease funding the projects. Five communities remain under construction at September 30, 2009. We are working with our lenders and venture partners to address the defaults. Although we believe that completion of the projects will not involve material cost overruns and that established reserves are adequate to fund the lease-up period once the projects are completed, there can be no assurance that these lenders will continue to fund the construction and development of these projects. We estimate that completion of the five communities (two in the U.K. and three in the U.S.) we have under construction in ventures as of September 30, 2009 will require an additional $14.5 million, which we anticipate funding with the proceeds of committed construction financing. We have no further equity contribution commitments for projects under construction as of September 30, 2009,


50


Table of Contents

assuming the lenders continue to fund under existing construction loan financing commitments and we incur no cost overruns.
 
We do not currently have plans to commence any new projects in the U.S. or the U.K. Our U.S. and U.K. development team has been reduced to 10 people at September 30, 2009. We will reconsider future development when market conditions stabilize and the cost of capital for development projects is in line with projected returns.
 
In October 2009, we entered into an agreement to sell 21 wholly owned assisted living communities, located in 11 states, to Brookdale Senior Living Inc. for $204 million. Brookdale placed into escrow an earnest money deposit of $5 million toward the purchase price. The closing date is currently scheduled for November 16, 2009. At the closing of the sale, we expect to receive approximately $60 million in proceeds after payment or assumption by Brookdale of certain mortgage loans, the posting of required escrows, and payment of expenses by us. We anticipate that approximately $130 million of our debt will be assumed or repaid at closing. We will use $25 million of proceeds to pay down our Bank Credit Facility and will place $20 million into a collateral account for the benefit of other creditors.
 
In addition to selling the German communities and the 21 communities to Brookdale, we intend to sell 11 operating communities, of which eight are located in the United States and three in Canada. Of the 11 operating communities, five are collateral for the German lenders and future net proceeds of the remaining six operating communities would be split equally between us and the lenders of the Bank Credit Facility. We also intend to sell one closed community in the United States which is collateral for the German lenders.
 
We intend to sell 16 parcels of land, of which 12 are located in the United States and four in Canada. Of the 16 land parcels, 11 are collateral for the German lenders and future proceeds of the remaining five land parcels after repayment of related debt would be split equally between us and the lenders of the Bank Credit Facility. In addition, we intend to sell two closed construction sites and one building located in the United States which are collateral for the German lenders.
 
Additional financing resources will be required to refinance existing indebtedness that comes due within the next 12 months. We have undertaken or expect to commence certain efforts to reduce expenses and preserve liquidity including; (i) extending the term of our Bank Credit Facility to December 2, 2010 (subject to certain conditions as discussed more fully below), (ii) seeking to reduce operating costs; (iii) seeking to restructure the terms of our other indebtedness including extension of scheduled maturity dates; and (iv) pursuing sales of selected assets. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in achieving any of these efforts.
 
In April 2009, we received federal income tax refunds of $20.8 million and $1 million of the proceeds from the sale of our equity interest and receivable from the Aston Gardens venture which were used to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. In June 2009, $2.5 million of proceeds from an agreement with Trinity’s prior owners (Note 12) was used to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. At September 30, 2009, the outstanding borrowings were $68.9 million.
 
Bank Credit Facility
 
On March 23, 2009, we entered into the Eleventh Amendment to our Bank Credit Facility. The purpose of the Eleventh Amendment is to provide the parties with an additional period of time to negotiate the terms of a Twelfth Amendment to the Bank Credit Facility which would comprehensively address any remaining issues between the parties with respect to the Bank Credit Facility through the Bank Credit Facility’s current stated maturity date of December 2, 2009. The Eleventh Amendment is described in Note 6 to the Financial Statements.
 
On April 28, 2009, we entered into the Twelfth Amendment to the Bank Credit Facility. The significant terms include:
 
  •  waiver of all existing financial covenants through December 2, 2009, the maturity date of the Bank Credit Facility;
 
  •  agreement for renewal of existing letters of credit;
 
  •  an amendment fee of $0.5 million;
 
  •  authorization to consummate certain transactions;


51

  •  restriction on the disposition of assets except to permit the transfer of scheduled assets;
 
  •  requirement to maintain minimum cash balance as of the last day of each month and of not less than $5 million at any time;
 
  •  a cash sweep as of the last day of October and November 2009 to reduce principal equal to the greater of consolidated cash in excess of $35 million or $2 million; and
 
  •  a permanent reduction of the commitment after an agreed-upon repayment of the outstanding balance from dispositions consented to by our lenders, federal income tax refunds of $20.8 million and payments received from the cash sweep.
 
On October 19, 2009, we entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to the Bank Credit Facility. The significant terms include:
 
  •  an extension of the maturity date from December 2, 2009 to December 2, 2010;
 
  •  renewal of existing letters of credit;
 
  •  an amendment fee of $0.5 million of which $250,000 was paid on October 19, 2009 and $250,000 to be paid upon the earlier of the sale of properties or January 4, 2010;
 
  •  principal payment of $6.0 million which was paid on October 19, 2009;
 
  •  principal payments previously due on October 31 and November 30, 2009 are no longer due;
 
  •  modifies the minimum liquidity covenant to not less than $10.0 million of unrestricted cash on hand the last day of the month;
 
  •  modifies the restriction on the disposal of assets to permit disposition of certain assets as long as 50% of the net sale proceeds are allocated to the lenders;
 
  •  the proceeds from the pending sale of 21 properties are allocated as follows:
 
  •  a principal payment of $25 million;
 
  •  $20 million deposited into a collateral account for the benefit of other creditors;
 
  •  either cause a return of $3.7 million in letters of credit or make a principal payment of that same amount;
 
  •  if the pending sale of the 21 properties does not close by June 30, 2010, we will either make a principal payment of $28.7 million or make a $5 million principal payment, pay an additional $1 million extension fee and grant mortgage liens junior to existing mortgages or a perfected first priority pledge of and security interest in, the equity interests in the entities owning 16 certain properties (the granting of such mortgages or security interest is subject to the existing mortgage lenders’ consent). If we are unable to deliver these items, the Bank Credit Facility will be in default and become due and payable; and
 
  •  a permanent reduction of the commitment after future principal repayments or cancellation of letters of credit.
 
We have no borrowing availability under the Bank Credit Facility, and we have significant scheduled debt maturities in 2009 and 2010 and significant long-term debt that is in default. We are endeavoring to extend debt maturity dates, re-finance debt and obtain waivers from applicable lenders. We are engaged in discussions with various venture partners and third parties regarding the sale of certain assets with the purpose of increasing liquidity and reducing obligations to enable us to continue operations.
 
In April 2009, we received federal income tax refunds of $20.8 million which was used to pay down the Bank Credit Facility and $1 million of the proceeds from the sale of our equity interest and receivable from the Aston Gardens venture was also used to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. In June 2009, $2.5 million of proceeds from an agreement with Trinity’s prior owners (Note 12) was used to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. At September 30, 2009, the outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility were $68.9 million and there were $23.1 million of letters of credit outstanding.

Sunrise ventures have total debt of $4.2 billion with near-term scheduled debt maturities of $69.7 million in 2009 and $576.1 million in 2010. Of this $4.2 billion of debt, there is long-term debt that is in default of $1.4 billion. The debt in the ventures is non-recourse to us with respect to principal payment guarantees and we and our venture partners are working with the venture lenders to obtain covenant waivers. However, in certain cases, we have provided operating deficit and completion guarantees to the lenders and joint ventures. We have minority non-

controlling interests in these ventures. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2008 Form 10-K, as amended, for a list of our ventures and our related ownership interest.
 
Germany Venture
 
We own nine communities (two of which are closed) in Germany. The debt related to these communities has partial recourse to us as the debt for four of the communities of €50.0 million ($73.0 million at September 30, 2009) has a stipulated release price for each community and for the remaining five communities, we have provided guarantees to the lenders of the repayment of the monthly interest payments and principal amortization and operating shortfalls until the maturity dates of the loans. As a result of the violation of a covenant in one of the loan documents, one of the lenders has asserted that we are effectively obligated to repay a portion of the principal at this time. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, in connection with the German debt restructure, we have settled with this lender. The face amount of the total debt related to the German communities at September 30, 2009 is $219.3 million.
 
In January 2009, we informed the lenders to our German communities and the Hoesel land, an undeveloped land parcel, that our German subsidiary was suspending payment of principal and interest on all loans for our German communities and that we would seek a comprehensive restructuring of the loans and our operating deficit guarantees. As a result of the failure to make payments of principal and interest on the loans for our German communities, we are in default of the loan agreements but have entered into standstill agreements with the lenders pursuant to which the lenders have agreed not to foreclose on the communities that are collateral for their loans or to commence or prosecute any action or proceeding to enforce their demand for payment by us pursuant to our operating deficit agreements until the earliest of the occurrence of certain other events relating to the loans.
 
In October 2009, we entered into a restructuring agreement, in the form of a binding term sheet, with two of our lenders to seven of the nine communities, to settle and compromise their claims against us, including under operating deficit and principal repayment guarantees provided by us in support of our German subsidiaries. These two lenders contended that these claims had an aggregate value of approximately $121.6 million. The binding term sheet contemplates that, on or before the first anniversary of the execution of definitive documentation for the restructuring, certain other of our identified lenders may elect to participate in the restructuring with respect to their asserted claims. The claims being settled by these two lenders represent approximately 77.5 percent of the aggregate amount of claims asserted by the lenders that may elect to participate in the restructuring transaction.
 
The restructuring agreement provides that the electing lenders will release and discharge us from certain claims they may have against us. We will issue to the lenders that elect to participate in the restructuring on or before the first execution of the definitive documentation, their pro rata share of up to an aggregate of 5 million shares of our common stock and will grant mortgages for the benefit of all electing lenders on certain of our unencumbered North American properties. Following the first execution of the definitive documentation for the restructuring, we will pursue the sale of such mortgaged properties and distribute the net sale proceeds to the electing lenders. We have guaranteed that, within 30 months of the first execution of the definitive documentation for the restructuring, the electing lenders will receive a minimum of $58.3 million from the net proceeds of any such sale, which equals 80 percent of the most recent aggregate appraised value of these properties. If the electing lenders do not receive at least $58.3 million by such date, we will make payment to cover any shortfall or, at such lenders’ option, convey to them the remaining unsold properties. As any gain or loss on the transaction is dependent upon the values at closing of the aforementioned consideration, we are unable to estimate any gain or loss at this time.
 
In addition, we will market for sale the German assisted living communities subject to loan agreements with the electing lenders and will remain responsible for all costs of operating, preserving and maintaining these communities until the earlier of either their sale or December 31, 2010.
 
The closing of the transaction, including the execution of the definitive documentation, the release of claims and the issuance of Sunrise common stock, is conditioned upon receipt of consent for the transaction from Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent under our Bank Credit Facility, on or before November 11, 2009. In accordance with the binding term sheet, definitive documentation shall be executed as soon as reasonably possible (but no later than 40 days) after the receipt of such required consent.

Table of Contents

We continue to be liable under certain operating deficit and repayment guarantees for the Klein Flottbeck and Wiesbaden communities, and certain principal repayment guarantees for the Hoesel land which is not part of the restructuring agreement.
 
In the second quarter of 2009, we engaged a broker to assist in the sale of the nine German communities and at that time, classified the German assets as held for sale.
 
Guarantees
 
See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, for a discussion of other guarantees outstanding at September 30, 2009.
 
Cash Flows
 
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $38.8 million and $(117.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $155.8 million. This increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to an increase of cash from net working capital of $122.8 million and a decrease in cash used in discontinued operations of $9.9 million.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $4.4 million and $(149.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $154.3 million. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to a decrease of $196.3 million in capital expenditures and condominium fundings partially offset by a decrease of $45.8 million in proceeds from the disposition of assets.
 
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $(29.3) million and $181.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $210.8 million. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings of $206.1 million.
 
New and Future Accounting Standards
 
See Note 2, New and Future Accounting Standards, for information related to the adoption of new accounting standards in the first nine months of 2009, none of which had a material impact on our financial statements, and the future adoption of recently issued standards, which we do not expect or have not yet evaluated whether the new standards will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2008 Form 10-K as amended on March 31, 2009. Since the date of our 2008 Form 10-K as amended, there has been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed since December 31, 2008.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and


55


Table of Contents

we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first nine months of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Part II. Other Information
 
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
 
For information regarding pending and resolved or settled legal proceedings, see Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
There were no material changes, other than those that follow, to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
The failure of our 2009 cost reduction plan to achieve sufficient expense savings.
 
In May 2009, we announced a plan to continue to reduce corporate expenses through reorganization of our corporate cost structure, including a reduction in spending related to, among other areas, administrative processes, vendors, and consultants. The plan is designed to reduce our annual recurring general and administrative expenses (including expenses previously classified as venture expense) by over $20 million, from our 2009 budgeted annual recurring level of approximately $120 million (after the sale of Greystone, which is presented in discontinued operations in our financial statements) to approximately $100 million, and to reduce our centrally administered services which are charged to the communities by approximately $1.5 million. Under the plan, approximately 150 positions will be eliminated. If we are unable to fully effect the expense reduction plan or if the plan fails to achieve the anticipated results, we may not have sufficient operating cash to meet our obligations.
 
If the sale of our German assets is not consummated, we may not have sufficient cash to meet our obligations.
 
We continue to be liable under certain operating deficit and repayment guarantees for the Klein Flottbeck and Wiesbaden communities, and certain principal repayment guarantees for the Hoesel land which is not part of the restructuring agreement. If we are unable to sell our German assets in the required time frame or for sufficient proceeds, we may be required to pay the lenders the difference of the proceeds and $58.3 million. We may not have sufficient operating cash to meet this obligation at the time it becomes due.
 
Our ability to execute our plan to sell certain assets.
 
In October 2009, we entered into an agreement to sell 21 wholly owned assisted living communities, located in 11 states, to Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (“Brookdale”) for $204 million. Brookdale placed into escrow an earnest money deposit of $5 million toward the purchase price. The closing date is currently scheduled for November 16, 2009. At the closing of the sale, we expect to receive approximately $60 million in proceeds after payment or assumption by Brookdale of certain mortgage loans, the posting of required escrows, and payment of expenses by


56


Table of Contents

us. We will use $25 million of proceeds to pay down our Bank Credit Facility and will place $20 million into a collateral account for the benefit of other creditors.
 
In addition to selling the German communities and the 21 communities to Brookdale, we intend to sell 11 operating communities, of which eight are located in the United States and three in Canada. Of the 11 operating communities, five are collateral for the German lenders and future net proceeds of the remaining six operating communities would be split equally between us and the lenders of the Bank Credit Facility. We also intend to sell one closed community in the United States which is collateral for the German lenders.
 
We intend to sell 16 parcels of land, of which 12 are located in the United States and four in Canada. Of the 16 land parcels, 11 are collateral for the German lenders and future proceeds of the remaining five land parcels after repayment of related debt would be split equally between us and the lenders of the Bank Credit Facility. In addition, we intend to sell two closed construction sites and one building located in the United States which are collateral for the German lenders.
 
If we are unable to sell certain assets as planned, we may not have sufficient cash to meet our obligations.

Purchaser shall be solely responsible for negotiating with Escrow Agent with respect to the Title Policy and/or with respect to such title endorsements and/or such additional liability protection as may be requested by Purchaser, if any. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for, and shall assume the risk of, obtaining a survey (or updating Sellers’ survey) of the Real Property (“Survey”) acceptable to Escrow Agent for purposes of issuing the Title Policy.
          4.2.3 Purchaser shall assume, at Purchaser’s sole risk, cost, and expense, the existing Fannie Mae loan (the “Fannie Mae Debt”) currently encumbering fifteen (15) of the Properties under terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, Sellers, and Fannie Mae; provided, however, that the terms of the assumption of the Fannie Mae Debt shall be deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser if it provides for Purchaser to be subject to substantially the same economic terms and conditions as currently contained in Sellers’ existing loan documents and guaranties, and Purchaser will pay all reasonable costs of the assumption, including without limitation, an increase in the interest rate, payment of points, and/or a loan curtailment. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Fannie Mae Debt currently encumbers a sixteenth property (the “Sixteenth Property”) that is not one of the Properties. On the Closing Date, Sellers shall cause the portion of the Fannie Mae debt applicable to the Sixteenth Property to be deducted from the balance of the Fannie Mae Debt to be assumed by Purchaser and the Fannie Mae Debt shall not be cross-defaulted with the Sixteenth Property. Purchaser also shall have the right, at Purchaser’s sole risk, cost, and expense, to assume any one or more of the other existing loans on the remaining Properties, provided that Purchaser gives Sellers written notice of the assumption of such other loans within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date.

Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any assumption pursuant to the terms hereof, all at no cost or risk to Sellers.
     4.3 Inspection.
          4.3.1 Prior to the date hereof, each Seller made available to Purchaser the information, documents, agreements and reports relating to each Property in such Seller’s possession or control (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”) without representation or warranty of any kind or nature, whether express or implied.

The parties acknowledge that Purchaser has had the opportunity to review and inspect the Due Diligence Materials and the Property prior to the date hereof and by executing this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that it has completed its inspections and studies of the Property and it has no remaining contingencies to Closing nor rights to object to any due diligence matters except as expressly provided below in this Section 4.3.1, and is agreeing to proceed in accordance with the terms hereof (including without limitation, the terms of Section 4.4 below). Notwithstanding such prior inspections, Sellers shall cooperate and provide Purchaser with reasonable and continuing access to the Real Property upon commercially reasonable Notice to Sellers for the purpose of Purchaser’s inspection (provided, however, that Purchaser shall not perform any invasive testing of any Real Property without Seller’s prior written consent in each instance, which may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion). Neither Purchaser nor any of its employees, agents or representatives shall contact or otherwise discuss this transaction and /or the operation of the Facilities with any on-site employees of the Facilities; provided, however, that Purchaser may meet with any Facility’s Executive Director upon commercially reasonable Notice to Sellers but, if required by Sellers, only in the presence of Sellers’ representative. Each Seller shall have the right to have a representative of such Seller present during all inspections or examinations of the applicable Real Property by Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until 6:00 p.m. EST on (X) the date that is ten (10) calendar days after the Effective Date, with respect to items (a), (b), (c), and (d) below, or (Y) October 30, 2009, with respect to items (e) and (f) below (in each instance, the “Due Diligence Period”), Purchaser shall have the right to deliver a Notice to Sellers of any Due Diligence Issues, as defined below (a “Due Diligence Issue Notice”). As used herein, “Due Diligence Issues” may include only one or more of the following and no other items: (a) an exception to title to any of the Properties or a matter shown or that would be shown on a current Survey for the Properties to be obtained by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense for the Properties located in Finneytown, Bath, Carmel, Santa Rosa, and South Hills, in any such event only if the same would materially and adversely impact Purchaser’s ability to operate the subject Property; (b) financial terms in the Resident Agreements that are materially and adversely different than as shown on the rent roll previously provided to Purchaser as part of the Due Diligence Materials; (c) provisions or terms in the Contracts that would materially and adversely impact Purchaser’s ability to operate the subject Property; (d) no material adverse differences in the operating statements of the Facilities used by Sellers’ Affiliate in connection with the preparation of its audited financial statements for the year 2008 (as provided by Sellers to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date) from the information contained in the Due Diligence Materials (i.e., the Offering Memorandum) except for the one-time accounting write-downs and adjustments for management fees, insurance, and extraordinary expenses, as noted thereon; (e) non-compliance with a zoning Legal Requirement that would materially and adversely impact Purchaser’s ability to operate the subject Property; or (f) material and adverse differences in the condition of the Properties from that reflected in the Due Diligence Materials (based on updated property condition assessment reports and phase I environmental assessments to be obtained by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense, and on site visits by Purchaser’s maintenance personnel based on such maintenance personnel’s commercially reasonable judgment). If Purchaser sends Seller a Due Diligence Issue Notice, the same shall include with specificity the Due Diligence Issues and the actions required to cure the same. Seller shall then have five (5) business days to send Purchaser a Notice stating whether or not Seller will attempt to cure such Due Diligence Issues, which determination shall be in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.

If Seller elects to attempt to cure such Due Diligence Issues, Seller shall have up to thirty (30) days from the date of Purchaser’s Due Diligence Issue Notice to effectuate such cure, and the Closing Date shall be extended until the date that is five (5) business days after Seller completes such cure. If Seller elects not to attempt to cure any such Due Diligence Issues, or if Seller is unable to cure any of the same despite its election and commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to do so, Purchaser shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement within five (5) business days after receiving Seller’s Notice either that it will not attempt to cure any of the Due Diligence Issues or that it is unable to cure any of the Due Diligence Issues Seller elected to attempt to cure. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and each of the parties shall be relieved from further liability to the other, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. If Purchaser does not timely elect to terminate this Agreement as set forth above in this Section 4.3.1, Closing shall occur on the date that is five (5) business days after the later to occur of Purchaser’s Notice to Seller of its election to proceed or the expiration of the time in which Purchaser could have elected to terminate this Agreement.

Such insurance shall be written on an “occurrence” basis, and shall be maintained in force until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of all of Purchaser’s activities, or (y) the Closing Date.
          4.3.3 Purchaser, at all times, will conduct all inspections and reviews in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and in a manner so as to not cause damage, loss, cost or expense to Sellers, any Property or the residents of any Property, and without unreasonably interfering with or disturbing any employee or resident at the Facilities. Prior to Closing, the results of or any other information acquired pursuant to Purchaser’s inspections shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 12.18 below. Purchaser will promptly restore any damage to any Property caused by Purchaser’s inspection to its condition immediately preceding such inspections and examinations and will keep the Properties free and clear of any mechanic’s liens or materialmen’s liens in connection with such inspections and examinations.
          4.3.4 Attached hereto as Exhibit “C” is a list of all Contracts. Purchaser shall assume all of the Contracts on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not assume (i) any Contracts which are terminable on thirty (30) days’ or less notice and which Purchaser does not wish to assume (the “30-Day Contracts”), provided that Purchaser provides Seller Notice of Purchaser’s decision not to assume such 30-Day Contracts within ten (10) calendar days after the Effective Date, and (ii) any management agreements with Seller’s Affiliate which Purchaser does not elect to assume, provided that Purchaser provides Seller Notice of Purchaser’s decision not to assume such management agreements prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

          4.3.6 Purchaser covenants and agrees that, until the Closing Date, all information and materials disclosed and/or delivered to it by Sellers, or Sellers’ agents, employees and representatives (including without limitation, the Due Diligence Materials), are confidential and proprietary information, and that Purchaser shall hold the same in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 12.18 below.

In the event any such utility charges are not separately billed, the same shall be prorated.

Other than the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any such account, and Purchaser shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or action to effect collection on behalf of Sellers. It is the intention of Purchaser and Sellers that although all of Sellers’ accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Sellers, still, if any such accounts are paid to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall collect same and remit to Sellers in the manner above provided. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude Sellers from enforcing collection of the accounts receivable which are owed to Sellers. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.
          5.5.11 Rent. All rentals and other resident charges, including any community fees and reimbursements, in respect to the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Current Month”) shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time, whether or not actually received prior to the Closing Date. All rentals and other resident charges received by Purchaser from a resident after the Closing Date shall be applied first to collection costs and then to the most recently accrued obligation of such resident.

          5.5.14 General Provision. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all apportionments and adjustments shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The computation of the adjustments shall be jointly prepared by Sellers and Purchaser. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Section 5.5 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same in accordance with the remaining terms of this Section 5.5.14. To the extent the exact amount of any adjustment item provided for in this Section 5.5 cannot be precisely determined on the Closing Date, such prorations and apportionments shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and re-prorated when the information is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment or re-proration pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences shall be made, if at all, within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (except with respect to taxes and assessments, in which case such re-proration shall be made within thirty (30) days after the information necessary to perform such re-proration is available). All payments to be made as a result of the final results of the adjustments shall be paid to the party entitled to the same within thirty (30) days after the final determination thereof. Seller and Purchaser agree that none of the insurance policies relating to any Property will be assigned to Purchaser (and Seller shall pay any cancellation fees or minimum earned premiums resulting from the termination of such policies) and Purchaser shall be responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing Date.
          5.5.15 Proration Allocation. For proration purposes, the day that falls on the Closing Date shall be charged to Purchaser.
          5.5.16 Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive Closing.

With respect to each Property, each of Seller and Purchaser shall pay one-half (1/2) of the documentary transfer taxes and the recording fee for the Deeds and one-half (1/2) of all escrow and closing fees relating to the sale of the Property (but not in connection with any financing by Purchaser, which shall be paid solely by Purchaser). Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees pertaining to the sale of the Properties. Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of any mortgage taxes or recording fees for the mortgage securing Purchaser’s loan. All other costs pertaining to the sale of each Property shall be allocated as is customary for real estate transactions where the applicable Property is located. The parties agree to cooperate in all reasonable respects to minimize all such costs, premiums, taxes, and fees.

With the exception of items for which Purchaser is expressly indemnified hereunder, Purchaser covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless Sellers, and their respective affiliates, owners, members, partners, employees, lenders, agents and representatives, from and against any and all Claims (a) arising from the acts and omissions of Purchaser and its agents, employees and contractors occurring in connection with or as a result of, any inspections, tests or examinations of or to the Properties, (b) if the Closing occurs, arising from the use, management, operation, rental, maintenance and ownership of the Properties, based upon acts, conduct or omissions (other than by Sellers) occurring on or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, with respect to and under the Contracts assumed by Purchaser under the Assignment of Contracts, (c) caused by or arising out of any material misrepresentation by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, and (d) arising from any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser or any instrument or agreement delivered or required to be delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive Closing.
          6.1.2 Pursuit of State Permits. Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all required licenses and approvals to permit Purchaser to operate the Facilities under Purchaser’s name, including certificates of need (or waiver thereof) to the extent required by law (“Purchaser Permits”). Subject to Section 6.2.2 below, Purchaser shall commence the process of filing all applications and other documents required by the applicable governmental or administrative agency or authority for all such required Purchaser Permits within one (1) business day after the Effective Date and shall endeavor to complete such filing process within ten (10) business days thereafter. In the event that any Purchaser Permits required to be obtained prior to the Closing Date are not obtained at such time, the terms of Section 6.4 below shall control.
     6.2 Seller Covenants. Each Seller (but solely for itself and its own Property, and not for any other Seller or any other Property) covenants to Purchaser as follows:
          6.2.1 Operation of the Facility. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Seller, during the term of this Agreement, shall carry on the business and operations of the Facility in substantially the same manner as heretofore carried on by it. Prior to the Closing Date, each Seller shall maintain (or replace with policies of like amounts) all existing insurance policies insuring the Property and the operation of the Facility. No Seller shall remove any of the Personal Property from the Real Property, unless such Seller replaces the same with like items that are of equal or better quality and condition. Each Seller shall maintain the Inventory consistent with such Seller’s past practices and will replenish the same consistent with its past practices. Each Seller may extend, amend, modify or terminate any of the Contracts as such Seller deems appropriate to operate, service and maintain the Property consistent with normal business practices, and may enter into new Contracts; provided, however, that so long as Purchaser is not in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement beyond the expiration

-28-


 

of any applicable notice or cure period, other than with respect to entering into new Resident Agreements in accordance with the rental schedules previously delivered to Purchaser, (a) from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser copies of new Contracts and any terminations, amendments, extensions, or modifications of existing Contracts, which Seller has entered into, or intends to enter into, within two (2) business days thereof, (b) Seller shall not, without the written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into (i) any leases of furniture, fixtures or equipment for the Facility, (ii) any new Contract other than those that are terminable with not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty, (iii) any extension, amendment, modification, or termination of a Contract other than an extension of an existing Contract on identical terms (provided that Purchaser has not delivered to Seller Notice of its intent to terminate such Contract), or (iv) any additional Business Agreements affecting the Property (other than with respect to entering into additional Resident Agreements as set forth above), (c) other than in the ordinary course of business at the Property, no part of the Property, or any interest therein, will be sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (d) without the prior written approval of Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Seller shall not: (i) make any material alterations to the Property, or, (ii) remove or otherwise dispose of any material portion of the Personal Property, except in the ordinary course of business.
          6.2.2 Cooperation. Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in all commercially reasonable respects, including by executing and/or delivering necessary or desirable applications and other information and documents, to facilitate the issuance and/or transfer of the Purchaser Permits (as defined in Section 6.1.2 above) and other authorizations in connection with the operation of the Properties. Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller for all governmental or other administrative agency fees incurred by Seller in connection with such cooperation. In the event that any Purchaser Permit required under any Legal Requirement to be obtained prior to the Closing Date are not obtained at such time, but all other conditions set forth herein are satisfied (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), the Sellers agree to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser and use commercially reasonable efforts in formulating and implementing mutually acceptable alternatives (if any) that permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with all Legal Requirements in the absence of such Purchaser Permits, provided that any such arrangements are fully in compliance with all Legal Requirements, that Purchaser either pays for or promptly reimburses Seller for all governmental or other administrative agency fees incurred by Seller in connection therewith, and that Purchaser indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any liabilities arising in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 6.2.2 shall survive the Closing.
     6.3 Employee Matters. With respect to each Property:
          6.3.1 On the Closing Date, Seller shall pay or credit Purchaser with all employee salaries, wages, and other compensation (including accrued vacation days but not including sick leave), including any applicable federal, state and local taxes, for any employees of the Facility which have accrued up to the Cut-Off Time and remain unpaid. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.3.2 and 6.3.3, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser against any and all labor or employment claims, liabilities or obligations (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which arise or accrue before, or arise out of events occurring before, the Closing Date, which indemnity shall survive Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for any severance pay due to any Hired Employee that Purchaser elects to terminate on or after the Closing Date.

-29-


 

          6.3.2 On or before the day that is ten (10) days after the Effective Date, each Seller shall provide Purchaser with a list of all employees at its respective Property and access to other pertinent information as reasonably requested by Purchaser (including access to review the employee file and information on the terms of employment of each employee). After the Effective Date of this Agreement, each Seller shall afford Purchaser and Purchaser’s proposed property manager with opportunities to meet with any employees of such Seller or its manager who are involved in the operation of each Facility and each Property. Such meetings shall be at such times as mutually agreed to by each Seller and Purchaser and each Seller shall be entitled to have a representative present at any such meetings with the employees at its Property. As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall offer employment to all then-current employees of the Facilities. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, and its affiliates, owners and employees, against any and all labor or employment claims, liabilities and obligations (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which arise or accrue from or after, or arise out of events occurring from or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, all claims arising as a result of the termination by Purchaser of any Facility employee or personnel performing services at or for the Facility, which indemnity shall survive Closing. The foregoing indemnity shall survive Closing. Those employees who accept employment with Purchaser or its property manager shall be referred to as the “Hired Employees.” For a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date, neither Sellers (nor their managers or Affiliates) shall hire or seek to hire any Hired Employees who are then currently employed at any of the Facilities.
          6.3.3 Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 6.3.2 are designed, in part, to ensure that Seller (or its manager) is not required to give notice to employees of the Facility of the “closure” thereof under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”) or any other comparable state law by avoiding the substantial cessation of industrial or commercial operation in a covered establishment. Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall, however, create any rights in favor of any person not a party to this Agreement, including employees of the Facility, or constitute an employment agreement or condition of employment for any employee of Seller (or its manager) or any affiliate of Seller (or its manager) who is a Hired Employee..
          6.3.4 Sellers shall and hereby agree to indemnify and save Purchaser, and its Affiliates and property managers, harmless from and against any liability for wages, salaries, bonuses, and accrued vacation days (but not sick leave) to be paid to employees on account of services rendered prior to Closing, except to the extent the same is credited to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.3.1 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, there shall be no apportionment or proration of medical, pension, welfare benefits, other employee benefits or other fringe benefits (hereinafter collectively referred to as “benefits”) and Sellers shall remain liable for and hereby indemnify and save Purchaser, and its affiliates, harmless from and against all benefits due to employees under plans in which employees participate prior to Closing, and all payments due on the plans providing such benefits. Sellers agrees to give all affected employees written notice of termination of participation of employees working at any Property in any applicable 401(K) or other pension or retirement plan affecting the employees. The obligations of Sellers and Purchaser set forth in this Section 6.3 shall survive Closing.

     6.4 Bridging of Licenses.
          6.4.1 Without limiting Purchaser’s obligations set forth in Section 6.1.2 above and Seller’s agreement to cooperate as set forth in Section 6.2.2 above, from and after the date hereof, Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate and work together diligently and in good faith to obtain all necessary consents and approvals for the issuance of the Purchaser Permits (as defined in Section 6.1.2 above) to Purchaser, or the transfer to Purchaser of the existing Permits for the operation of each of the Facilities. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser and Sellers shall submit all necessary applications and filings with all relevant federal, state, and local governmental or administrative agencies or authorities, or other relevant parties, and provide complete information and requested materials.
          6.4.2 In the event the existing Permits for the operation of any one or more Facilities cannot be transferred (or a new Purchaser Permit for the operation of such Facility cannot be obtained by Purchaser) prior to the Closing Date, the Closing shall proceed in accordance with the terms hereof. In such event, Purchaser and Sellers shall enter into such other mutually and reasonably acceptable documents and agreements as may be necessary and permitted under all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in each instance to cause the current license-holder for each such Facility to remain in place pending final approval and transfer of such Permits to Purchaser (or its designated related entity) or the issuance to Purchaser of a new Purchaser Permit for the operation of such Facility. Without limitation, this may include a lease from Purchaser to one of the Sellers, its management company or the current license-holder, in the form and content attached hereto as Exhibit “M” (each, a “Bridging Lease”), and a management agreement between the license-holder as lessee under the Bridging Lease and a designee of Purchaser, in the form and content attached hereto as Exhibit “N” (each, a “Bridging Management Agreement”). All such document(s) shall include, without limitation, an indemnity (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers) by Purchaser of such Seller and its management company and license-holder, and their respective affiliates, owners, members, partners, employees, lenders, agents and representatives, from and against any and all Claims arising in or in connection with the ownership, management or operation of any Facility after the Closing Date, to the extent that such Claims are not attributable to the grossly negligent or willful acts or omissions of such Seller or its management company and license-holder.
          6.4.3 Purchaser and Sellers shall promptly notify, consult with, and keep the other advised as to the status of the matters referred to in this Section 6.4, including with respect to any communications to or from any governmental agency or other party in connection with the transfer or issuance of the Purchaser Permits.
          6.4.4 Nothing in this Section shall require Sellers to dispose of any of its assets or to limit its freedom of action with respect to any of its businesses, or to consent to any disposition of any of its assets or limits on its freedom of action with respect to the businesses of any Seller, or commit or agree to any of the foregoing in order to obtain any consents, approvals, permits or authorizations to remove any impediments to the transactions contemplated hereby relating to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act or other antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law or to obtain or transfer any licenses or other permits to Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any Seller default described in this Section 9.2 above can be cured or compensated for by the payment of money or otherwise, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason thereof in the event that Sellers cure the same or elect to grant to Purchaser at the Closing a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount agreed upon by Sellers and Purchaser, each acting reasonably, as necessary to fully cure or compensate Purchaser for such default, and the Closing Date will be extended at Sellers’ option for a reasonable period of time for Sellers to effectuate such cure.

     9.3 Limitations of Purchaser’s Post-Closing Claims. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any document or instrument (including any deeds, bill of sale or assignments) executed by any Seller and delivered to Purchaser at or in connection with the Closing (excluding the Bridging Lease and the Bridging Management Agreement if applicable, collectively, “Closing Documents”), no Seller shall have (and each Seller is exculpated and released from any) liability whatsoever with respect to any Claims under, and Purchaser shall be forever barred from making or bringing any Claims with respect to, any of the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the aggregate amount of all Claims for breach of such Seller’s representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities with respect to a particular Property or more than one Property in the aggregate exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Threshold Amount”) (but if such Claim is valid and is finally determined (or settled) to be in excess of the Threshold Amount, then the applicable Seller’s liability shall extend to the “first dollar” of Purchaser’s Claim); provided, however, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any Closing Document, the total liability of a Seller for any or all Claims with respect to all of the Properties exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Cap Amount”), Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) of which shall be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent at Closing out of funds that would otherwise be payable to Sellers (the “Post-Closing Liability Escrow”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of Post-Closing Escrow Agreement, in form and content as attached hereto as Exhibit “P” (the “Post-Closing Escrow Agreement. On the Survival Date, the Escrow Agent shall refund to Seller any remaining balance of the Post-Closing Liability Escrow (including any interest earned thereon), unless there is a Pending Claim (defined below), in which event the Post-Closing Liability Escrow shall remain in place until the Pending Claim is definitively resolved by agreement of the parties or final court order.
     9.4 Purchaser shall not make any Claim or deliver any notice of a Claim (a “Claim Notice”) unless in good faith, it believes the Claim or all of the Claims in the aggregate would exceed the Threshold Amount.
     9.5 Survival of Purchaser’s Claims. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities of Sellers contained herein or in any Closing Document shall survive only until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”). Any Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against Sellers for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity, whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has not been delivered to Sellers on or prior to the Survival Date, shall not be valid or effective and the party against whom such Claim is asserted shall have no liability with respect thereto. Any Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against Sellers for a breach of any such representation or warranty, or its covenants and indemnities whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered to Sellers on or prior to the Survival Date (a “Pending Claim”) may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by Purchaser against Sellers.

-39-


 

For the avoidance of doubt, on the Survival Date, each Seller shall be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to Purchaser and/or its successors and assigns with respect to any Claims or any other matter relating to this Agreement or any Closing Document, except solely for those matters that are then the subject of the pending Claim Notice delivered by Purchaser to Sellers that is still pending on the Survival Date.
     9.6 Limitations on Sellers’ Post-Closing Claims. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any document or instrument executed by Purchaser and delivered to Sellers at or in connection with the Closing, (excluding the Bridging Lease and Bridging Management Agreement, if applicable, collectively, “Purchaser Closing Documents”), Purchaser shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any Claims under any of the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities contained in this Agreement or in any Purchaser Closing Document, except to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Claims for breach of Purchaser’s representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities with respect to a particular Property exceeds the Threshold Amount (but if such claim(s) is/are valid and finally determined (or settled) to be in excess of the Threshold Amount, then Purchaser’s liability shall extend to the “first dollar” of Sellers’ Claim); provided, however, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any Purchaser Closing Document, the total liability of Purchaser for any or all Claims with respect to any Property shall not exceed the Cap Amount. Further, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any Purchaser Closing Document, Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to any Claim under any of the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities contained in this Agreement or in any Purchaser Closing Document, which Claim relates to or arises in connection with any other matter not expressly set forth in Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.1 or its covenants or indemnities in this Agreement or any Purchaser Closing Document. Sellers shall not make any Claim or deliver any Claim Notice unless in good faith, Sellers believes the Claim would exceed the Threshold Amount as set forth above.
     9.7 Survival of Seller’s Claims. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities of Purchaser contained herein or in any Purchaser Closing Document shall survive only until the Survival Date. Any Claim that Sellers may have any time against Purchaser for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant, or indemnity, whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has not been delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Survival Date, shall not be valid or effective and the party against whom such Claim is asserted shall have no liability with respect thereto. Any Claim that Sellers may have at any time against Purchaser for a breach of any such representation or warranty, covenants and indemnities whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Survival Date may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by Sellers against Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Survival Date, Purchaser shall be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to Sellers, and/or their successors and assigns with respect to any Claims or any other matter relating to this Agreement or any Purchaser Closing Document, except solely for those matters that are then the subject of the pending Claim Notice delivered by Sellers to Purchaser that is still pending on the Survival Date.

     9.8 Limitations on Liability.
          9.8.1 The parties hereto confirm and agree that in each instance herein where a party or its Affiliates is entitled to payment or reimbursement for damages, costs or expenses pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any payment or reimbursement made to such party shall be conclusively deemed to be for the account of both such party and its Affiliates, it being acknowledged and agreed that a payment or reimbursement made to such party for damages, costs or expenses shall be sufficient to satisfy all claims for payment or reimbursement of such party and its Affiliates. The parties further confirm and agree that no party hereto (a “Non-Performing Party”) will be deemed to be in default hereunder or be liable for any breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement if its failure to perform an obligation hereunder is based solely on the non-performance of another party to this Agreement (which other party is not an Affiliate of the Non-Performing Party) or where all conditions precedent to the obligation of such Non-Performing Party to consummate the Closing have not been fulfilled. In no event will either party be liable to the other for any indirect, special or consequential damages of any kind.
          9.8.2 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no shareholder, director, officer or employee of any party to this Agreement shall have any personal liability with respect to the liabilities or obligations of such party under this Agreement or any document executed by such party pursuant to this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
     12.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. If any legal action is necessary to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that the courts in the Commonwealth of Virginia shall be the sole jurisdiction and venue for the bringing of the action.
     12.2 Professional Fees and Costs. If a lawsuit, arbitration or other proceedings are instituted by any party to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement against any other party hereto, the prevailing party in such litigation, arbitration or proceedings shall be entitled, as an additional item of damages, to such reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and costs (including, but not limited to, witness fees), court costs, arbitrators’ fees, arbitration administrative fees, travel expenses, and other reasonable, actual, out-of pocket expenses or costs of such other proceedings, which amount shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction, arbitrator or other judicial or quasi-judicial body having jurisdiction thereof, whether or not such litigation or proceedings proceed to a final judgment or award. For the purposes of this section, any party receiving an arbitration award or a judgment for damages or other amounts shall be deemed to be the prevailing party, regardless of amount of the damage awarded or whether the award or judgment was based on all or some of such party’s claims or causes of action, and any party against whom a lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding is instituted and later voluntarily dismissed by the instituting party shall be deemed to be the prevailing party.

     12.5 Assignment. Purchaser may not assign, convey and otherwise transfer all or any part of its interest or rights herein without the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent may be withheld in Sellers’ sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser may (without Seller’s consent but with advance written noticed to Seller), by not later than ten (10) business days prior to Closing, assign and transfer in whole or in part all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one (1) or more wholly owned subsidiary(ies) thereof, or to a one hundred percent (100%) owned affiliate(s) thereof, or to any entity controlled (directly or indirectly, through voting or equity ownership) by Purchaser in the form of the Assignment of Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “D”; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be released of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of any such assignment. Any assignment as permitted in the preceding sentence shall be conditioned upon Purchaser delivering to Sellers and Escrow Agent, within forty-eight (48) hours of any such assignment, Notice thereof, together with a copy of such assignee’s organizational and formation documents and instruments, a Certificate of Good Standing for such assignee, and copies of the documents, if any, by or between Purchaser and such assignee authorizing such assignment. As a further condition to any such permitted assignment, Purchaser shall cause its assignee to execute an assignment and assumption agreement of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement (in form and content reasonably and mutually acceptable), and such other documents and instruments as Escrow Agent may reasonably request. Sellers shall upon request consent in writing to any such assignment that is made in accordance with the terms of this Section. Sellers may not assign or transfer their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser (in which event such transferee shall assume in writing all of the transferor’s obligations hereunder, but such transferor shall not be released from its obligations hereunder).

Except for any of the following expressly contained in this Agreement, Sellers and Purchaser each expressly disclaim any reliance on any oral or written representations, warranties, comments, statements or assurances made by Sellers, Purchaser, and any of their respective affiliates, and their respective agents, employees, representatives, attorneys or brokers, as an inducement or otherwise, to Purchaser’s and Sellers’ respective execution hereof. No amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and executed by the parties hereto.

     12.10 Further Assurances. Whenever and so often as requested by a party, the other party will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further instruments, documents or assurances, and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things as may be necessary and reasonably required in order to further and more fully vest in such requesting party all rights, interests, powers, benefits privileges and advantages conferred or intended to be conferred upon it by this Agreement, or to effectuate the termination of this Agreement and cancellation of the Escrow (if otherwise permitted hereunder). The terms of this section shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.
     12.11 Waiver. Failure or delay by either party to insist on the strict performance of any covenant, term, provision or condition hereunder, or to exercise any option herein contained, or to pursue any claim or right arising herefrom, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such covenant, term, provision, condition, option, claim or right (except that if a party proceeds to Closing, notwithstanding the failure of a condition to its obligation to close, then such condition shall be deemed waived by virtue of the Closing). Any waiver by either party shall be effective only if in a writing delivered to the other party hereto and setting forth, with specificity, the covenant, term, provision or condition so waived. Any such waiver shall not constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver of any subsequent default.
     12.12 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not limit or define the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.
     12.13 Risk of Loss. With respect to each Property, the risk of loss shall be as follows:
          12.13.1 Risk of Loss. Until the Closing Date, Seller shall bear the risk of loss should there be damage to any of the Property by fire or other casualty (collectively “Casualty”). If, prior to the Closing Date, any of the Property shall be damaged by any Casualty, Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a Notice (“Casualty Notice”) of such event. Upon Purchaser’s receipt of a Casualty Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall meet promptly to estimate the cost to repair and restore the Improvements to good condition and to replace the damaged Personal Property (“Casualty Renovation Cost”). If the parties are unable to agree on the cost of restoration, the matter will be submitted to an engineer designated by Seller and an engineer designated by Purchaser, each licensed to practice in the state in which the Land is located, and the engineers shall resolve the dispute. Each party hereto shall bear the costs and expenses of its own engineer.
          12.13.2 Material Loss. If the Casualty Renovation Cost for any single Facility exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), then either Purchaser or Sellers may, at their option, elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the impacted Property only by Notice to the other party within ten (10) business days after the date that the Casualty Renovation Cost is determined (and if necessary the Closing Date will be extended to accommodate such ten (10) business day period), and in the event of a termination hereof with respect to the impacted Property, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price of the impacted Property.

-45-


 

If neither party elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to the impacted Property, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without reduction of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign the insurance proceeds to Purchaser in the event the Casualty is insured against and shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible not already otherwise paid by Seller under applicable insurance policies, or have the Purchase Price reduced by the Casualty Renovation Cost in the event the Casualty is not fully insured against (subject to further adjustment for actual restoration costs).
          12.13.3 Nonmaterial Loss. If the Casualty Renovation Cost is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or less, then, in any such event, neither party hereto shall have any right to terminate this Agreement, but the Closing shall take place as provided herein without reduction of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign the insurance proceeds to Purchaser in the event the Casualty is insured against and shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible, under applicable insurance policies, or have the Purchase Price reduced by the Casualty Renovation Cost in the event the Casualty is not fully insured against (subject to further adjustment for actual restoration costs).
          12.13.4 Eminent Domain. If, prior to the Closing Date, a Seller receives notice that a material portion of a Property (or access or other material rights in connection therewith) as would, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affect the operation of the Facility or uses of the Property is, or has been threatened in writing by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, to be taken by condemnation or eminent domain, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser, and at the election of Purchaser this Agreement shall, upon the giving of Notice of such event or of the condemning authorities’ intention so to take the Property, terminate with respect only to the impacted Property, but the Closing shall proceed with respect to the remaining Properties (with the Purchase Price reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price of that Property). If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing Date, on the Closing Date all of the proceeds of any award or payment made or to be made by reason of such taking shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser, and any money theretofore received by Seller in connection with such taking shall be paid over to Purchaser, whereupon Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price without abatement by reason of such taking. Seller shall not settle, agree to, or accept any award or payment in connection with a taking of less than all of the Property without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. As used in this Section, “material portion,” “material rights” or “materially adversely affect” shall mean a taking or condemnation which would reduce available parking below that required by, or in general cause a violation of, any Legal Requirements or any Business Agreement, or result in a condemnation award reasonably estimated to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).
     12.14 Construction of Agreement. The parties hereto have negotiated this Agreement at length, and have had the opportunity to consult with, and be represented by, their own competent counsel. This Agreement is, therefore, deemed to have been jointly prepared. In determining the meaning of, or resolving any ambiguity with respect to, any word, phrase or provision of this Agreement, no uncertainty or ambiguity shall be construed or resolved against any party under any rule of construction, including the party primarily responsible for the drafting and preparation of this Agreement. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar reference shall mean this Agreement.

-46-


 

The words “this Agreement” include the exhibits, schedules addenda and any future written modifications, unless otherwise indicated by the context. All words in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any number or gender as the context or sense of the Agreement requires. The words “will,” “shall” and “must” in this Agreement indicate a mandatory obligation. The use of the words “include,” “includes” and “including” followed by one or more examples is intended to be illustrative and is not a limitation on the scope of the description or term for which the examples are provided. All dollar amounts set forth in this Agreement are stated in United States Dollars, unless otherwise specified. The words “day” and “days” refer to calendar days unless otherwise stated. The words “business day” refer to a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday (hereinafter defined). The words “month” and “months” refer to calendar months unless otherwise stated. The words “year” and “years” refer to calendar years unless otherwise stated. If any date herein set forth for the performance of any obligations by Seller or Purchaser or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein provided should fall on a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday, the compliance with such obligations or delivery will be deemed acceptable on the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday. As used herein, the term “Legal Holiday” will mean any local or federal holiday on which post offices are closed in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
     12.15 No Public Disclosure. Neither party shall make any public disclosure of the terms of this transaction without the prior written consent of the other party prior to the Closing Date.
     12.16 Bulk Transfers. The Sellers and Purchaser specifically waive compliance with the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code — Bulk Transfers, with any similar provision under any similar provisions in the laws of the state, county, and city in which any Property is located, to the extent such provisions may be waived under the applicable Legal Requirement.
     12.17 Covenants, Representations and Warranties. By proceeding with the closing of the sale transaction, Sellers and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived, and so covenant to waive, any claims of defaults or breaches by the other party existing on or as of the Closing Date whether under this Agreement or any other document or instrument executed by the other party in connection with this transaction, of which the waiving party was made aware by Notice from the defaulting or breaching party (and, if applicable, which is described on the Sellers certification of representations and warranties to be delivered at Closing) prior to the Closing Date for which the other party shall have no liability.
     12.18 Confidentiality. The parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser previously executed and delivered to Sellers a confidentiality agreement, and such agreement remains and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof. Other than as required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or required by any Legal Requirements (including without limitation, any disclosures required or advisable by Sellers under any applicable securities laws or practices), no party hereto shall release or cause or permit to be released any press notices or releases or publicity (oral or written) or advertising promotion relating to, or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed, in any manner whatsoever, the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale transaction for the Properties, nor shall Purchaser or its agents or representatives disclose, in any manner whatsoever, (a) the information provided to Purchaser by any Seller or its representatives, or (b) any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or records prepared by or on behalf of Purchaser, in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Properties, without first obtaining the written consent of Sellers (collectively, “Proprietary Information”).

-47-


 

The foregoing shall not preclude Purchaser (i) from discussing the Proprietary Information with any person who is employed by Purchaser or who, on behalf of Purchaser, is actively and directly participating in the purchase and sale of the Properties, including, without limitation, to Purchaser’s shareholders, partners, members, existing or prospective lenders, attorneys, accountants and other consultants and advisors, or (ii) from complying with all laws, rules, regulations and court orders, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements; provided, however, that if Purchaser is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Proprietary Information, Purchaser agrees to furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which Purchaser is legally compelled to disclose and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that, if possible, confidential treatment will be accorded to the Proprietary Information. Purchaser shall inform its respective representatives of the confidential nature of the Proprietary Information and shall direct them to be bound by the terms of this section. In addition to any other remedies available to Sellers, Sellers shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against Purchaser in order to enforce the provisions of this section. The provisions of such confidentiality agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees not to contact, directly or indirectly, any employees of any Facility prior to the Closing Date, and agrees to be liable for all of Sellers’ damages in the event of any such contact by Purchaser or any of its agents or representatives.
     12.19 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Sellers and Purchaser agree that there are no third parties who are intended to benefit from or who are entitled to rely on any of the provisions of this Agreement. No third party shall be entitled to assert any claims or to enforce any rights whatsoever pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the covenants and agreements provided in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of Sellers and Purchaser and their permitted successors and assigns respectively.
     12.20 Facsimile Signatures. The execution of this Agreement and all Notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile signatures, all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a document with a facsimile signature may, by Notice to the other, require the prompt delivery of an original signature to evidence and confirm the delivery of the facsimile signature. Purchaser and Sellers each intend to be bound by its respective facsimile transmitted signature, and is aware that the other party will rely thereon, and each party waives any defenses to the enforcement of the Agreement, and documents, and any Notices delivered by facsimile transmission.
     12.21 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

-48-


 

     12.22 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy conferred upon a party in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute (except as otherwise expressly herein provided).
     12.23 Consents and Approvals. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any approval or consent provided to be given by a party hereunder may be given or withheld in the absolute discretion of such party.
     12.24 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
     12.25 Natural Hazard Report for California Property. The Seller of Sunrise of Santa Rosa, California has or will employ the services of an appropriate third party (the “Natural Hazard Expert”) to examine the maps and other information specifically made available to the public by government agencies for the purposes of enabling such Seller to fulfill its disclosure obligations with respect to the natural hazards referred to in California Civil Code Section 1103.2 with respect to such California Property and to report the results of its examination to Purchaser and such Seller in writing. The written report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its examination fully and completely discharges the Seller of Sunrise of Santa Rosa from its disclosure obligations referred to in California Civil Code Section 1103.2, and, for the purposes of this Agreement, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1103.4 regarding the non-liability of such Seller for errors and/or omissions not within their personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply.
     12.26 Waiver Regarding California Property. With respect to the Sunrise of Santa Rosa Property, Purchaser specifically waives the provisions of California Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:
     A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN TO HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED THE SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Exhibit 2.2
FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (“First Amendment”) is dated as of this 7th day of October, 2009, and is made by and between each of the parties named on Exhibit “A” hereto (each, individually, “Seller” and, collectively, “Sellers”), and BLC Acquisitions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”).
     WHEREAS, Sellers and Purchaser are parties to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”);
     NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, including the promises, covenants, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally and equitably bound, agree as follows:
     1. Sellers will indemnify Purchaser for any liabilities or obligations relating to the Properties, or arising from any Seller’s operations, and accruing prior to the Closing, whether or not disclosed, subject to the Limitations on Purchaser’s Post-Closing Claims set forth in Section 9.3 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
     2. The Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds no later than 2 p.m. New York time on October 8, 2009 in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. The Earnest Money Deposit is absolutely non-refundable to the Purchaser in all events and circumstances, except that the Earnest Money Deposit shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser if (a) (i) the requisite lenders under the Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. line of credit agented by Bank of America (the “LOC”) do not irrevocably approve the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement by 5 p.m. New York time on October 19, 2009 or (ii) the condition set forth in Section 8.1(c) fails because such approvals are no longer in force and effect any time prior to the Closing, (b) all of the conditions to Seller’s obligation to close are met and Seller nonetheless refuses to close, or (c) the Board of Directors of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. shall not ratify Sellers’ execution of this First Amendment and the Purchase and Sale Agreement prior to 1 p.m. New York time on October 8, 2009.
     3. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement if Sellers fail to receive the irrevocable approvals to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement from the requisite lenders under the LOC by 5 p.m. New York time on October 19, 2009.
     4. Section 8.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted and the following inserted in lieu thereof: “Sellers have received the irrevocable approvals to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement from the requisite lenders under the LOC and such approvals shall be and remain in full force and effect.”

 


 

     5. Sellers will give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to 50% of the accrual for sick time reflected in Sellers’ respective financial statements as of the Closing Date, capped at $150,000.
     6. The governing law of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and this First Amendment is Delaware law.
     7. If Seller defaults under the Purchase and Sale Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default, and Purchaser elects, or is deemed to elect, to terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser’s documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses up to $500,000.
     8. The foregoing provisions of this First Amendment supersede any provisions in the Purchase and Sale Agreement that are inconsistent with the terms of this First Amendment, and the Purchase and Sale Agreement will be deemed modified hereby as necessary to give full effect to the provisions of this First Amendment. Except as modified by this First Amendment, the Purchase and Sale Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
     9. Sellers and Purchaser agree to negotiate in good faith, promptly following execution of this First Amendment and receipt of the Earnest Money Deposit, (i) to modify the Purchase and Sale Agreement to be consistent with this First Amendment and to consider clarifications to the Purchase and Sale Agreement that may be requested by Purchaser provided that no such clarifications shall alter the economic substance of the contemplated transaction and (ii) to update and finalize the exhibits and schedules to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. If Purchaser and Sellers are unable to agree to any such modification or clarification of the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, this First Amendment and the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
     10. Sellers’ execution of this First Amendment and the Purchase and Sale Agreement is subject to ratification by the Board of Directors of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. prior to 1 p.m. New York time on October 8, 2009. If Sellers do not confirm to Purchaser that Board ratification has been obtained by 1 p.m. New York time on October 8, 2009, this First Amendment and the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be void ab initio and of no force and effect.

Exhibit 2.3
SECOND AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
     THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (“Second Amendment”) is dated as of this 19th day of October, 2009, and effective as of October 7, 2009, and is made by and between each of the parties named on Exhibit “A” hereto (each, individually, “Seller” and, collectively, “Sellers”), and BLC Acquisitions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”).
     WHEREAS, Sellers and Purchaser are parties to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Original Purchase and Sale Agreement”) dated as of October 7, 2009, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “First Amendment”) dated as of October 7, 2009 (as amended, the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”); and
     WHEREAS, Sellers and Purchaser desire to further amend certain terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, including the promises, covenants, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally and equitably bound, agree as follows:
     1. Incorporation of Terms. The terms of the First Amendment are hereby incorporated in the Purchase and Sale Agreement by this reference, as if all specific terms and provisions of the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement that conflict with or were otherwise modified by corresponding terms of the First Amendment were modified in detail to reflect such revised terms and be consistent with the terms of the First Amendment. Section 9 of the First Amendment is hereby deleted and of no further force and effect.
     2. Correction of Seller Entities. The parties acknowledge the following corrections to the entities comprising Sellers: (a) the Sunrise of Santa Rosa Facility is owned by Sunrise Assisted Living Limited Partnership VIII, L.P. and by Sunrise Chanate Assisted Living L.P. (with respect to different parcels that comprise the Real Property), and (b) the Sunrise of Oakwood Facility is owned by Karrington of Oakwood Ltd. Liability Co. The corrected entities are reflected in the attached Exhibit A and the signature blocks of this Second Amendment. By each such party’s execution of this Second Amendment it hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement as if it had executed the same in the first instance.
     3. Exhibits. Attached hereto are the Exhibits to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, which are hereby attached to the Purchase and Sale Agreement in the place and stead of the Exhibits that were attached to the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement. All references in the Purchase and Sale Agreement to Exhibit “A-3” are hereby deleted.


 

     4. Limited License. The term of the limited license for Purchaser’s right to use the trademark “Sunrise” (contained within the definition of Excluded Documents in Article I of the Purchase and Sale Agreement) shall be extended with respect to any Property through the term of a Bridging Lease and/or Bridging Management Agreement for that Property to the extent necessary to effectuate the bridging arrangement contemplated thereby, provided that Sellers shall have the right to reasonably approve each such use.
     5. Proprietary Information. The definition of Proprietary Information in Article I of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:
“Proprietary Information” As used herein, Proprietary Information shall mean (a) the information provided to Purchaser by any Seller or its representatives, or (b) any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or records prepared by or on behalf of Purchaser, in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Properties.
     6. Resident Agreements. The definition of Resident Agreements in Article I of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:
“Resident Agreements” Those leases, occupancy, residency, and similar written agreements entered into with residents of each Real Property, and all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals, and extensions thereof, of which Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies (or access to the same) no more than three (3) business days after the Effective Date, and all other leases, occupancy, residency, and similar written agreements with residents of each Facility entered into by each Seller in the ordinary course of business after the Effective Date as permitted hereunder.
     7. Contracts and Existing Management Agreements. Section 4.3.4 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby amended to add the following to the end of such Section: “With respect to any 30-Day Contracts delivered to Purchaser by Sellers after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall not assume any such 30-Day Contracts that Purchaser provides Seller Notice of Purchaser’s decision not to assume within five (5) calendar days after Sellers’ delivery of the same to Purchaser. The parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall not assume any of Sellers’ existing management agreements, except if and to the extent the parties agree to such assumption in connection with the bridging of licenses pursuant to Section 6.4 below.”
     8. Due Diligence Materials . Section 4.3.6 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:
Purchaser covenants and agrees that, until the Closing Date, all information and materials disclosed and/or delivered to it by Sellers, or Sellers’ agents, employees and representatives (including without limitation, the Due Diligence Materials) shall be held in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 12.18 below.

2


 

Upon Closing, unless otherwise provided herein, all such information and materials regarding the Properties and the Facilities shall become the property of Purchaser or its permitted assigns. Purchaser also agrees that, in the event the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are not consummated as provided herein, Purchaser shall take such action with respect to all such information and documentation as required pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 12.18 hereof).
     9. Correction of Cross-Reference. The reference in Section 5.2(q) and 5.3(k) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement to “the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement, as set forth in Section 7.3 below,” is hereby amended to reflect that the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement is set forth in Section 9.3 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
     10. Accounts Receivable. Section 5.5.10 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby amended to add the following after the second sentence thereof: “For a period of six (6) months after the Closing, Purchaser will make a good faith effort to collect all outstanding Sellers’ Accounts Receivable, provided that Purchaser shall have no obligation to bring any claim or proceeding, or pursue any collections actions, against any resident. After the Closing, Sellers shall have no right to enforce collection of Sellers’ Accounts Receivable.” Further, the second to last sentence of Section 5.5.10 and the last sentence of Section 5.5.11 (both giving Sellers the right to pursue collection of Sellers’ Accounts Receivable following Closing) are hereby deleted in their entirety.
     11. Purchaser Indemnity. Section 6.1.1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby amended to add the following to the end of such Section: “Prior to Closing, Sellers’ remedies based on the indemnities contained in Subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 6.1.1 shall be limited to the liquidated damages set forth in Section 9.1 below.”
     12. Transition Cooperation. Section 6.2.2 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby amended to add the following to the end of such Section: “Prior to and following Closing, Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in good faith in connection with the transition of the Facilities (and the operations thereof) to Purchaser (at no out-of-pocket cost to Sellers), including without limitation, by providing to Purchaser data in electronic form upon Purchaser’s request therefor, if and to the extent Sellers have such electronic data and provided that the same is not proprietary or confidential, in Sellers’ sole and absolute judgment.”
     13. Bridging Arrangements. The third sentence of Section 6.4.2 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:
Without limitation, this may include a lease from Purchaser to one of the Sellers, its management company or the current license-holder, in the form and content attached hereto as Exhibit “M,” subject to modification in accordance with any Legal Requirements (each, a “Bridging Lease”), and a management agreement between the license-holder as lessee under the Bridging Lease and a designee of Purchaser, in the form and content attached hereto as Exhibit “N,” subject to modification in accordance with any Legal Requirements (each, a “Bridging Management Agreement”).

3


 

     14. Employee Matters. The parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser’s employment of the existing employees at the Facilities may be conditional, subject to (a) satisfactory completion post-Closing of drug testing and security background checks in accordance with Purchaser’s standard practices and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and (b) the employee’s consent to the transfer to Purchaser of Sellers’ personnel file for such employee (and with such employee consent, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with a copy of such employee’s personnel file at the Facility at which each such employee is employed). Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Purchaser agrees not to contact, directly or indirectly, any employees of any Facility prior to the Closing Date without the prior consent of Sellers, and agrees to be liable for all of Sellers’ damages in the event of any such contact by Purchaser or any of its agents or representatives.
     15. Purchaser Representations. For purposes of Sections 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Purchaser hereby discloses to Sellers that Purchaser must (and shall prior to Closing) obtain consent to the transaction contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement from its line of credit lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that receipt of this consent is not a condition of the Closing and Purchaser shall not be entitled to a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit if it is unable to obtain such consent.
     16. Sellers Representations.

Exhibit 10.2
(WELLS FARGO LOGO)
Loan No. 105093
LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is executed as of September 28, 2007, by and between SUNRISE PASADENA CA SENIOR LIVING, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, and SUNRISE PLEASANTON CA SENIOR LIVING, LP, a Delaware Limited Partnership, jointly and severally, (both referred to as “Borrower”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”).
RECITALS
A.   Borrower owns or will own certain real property described in Exhibit A hereto (individually and collectively, “Property”).
 
B.   Borrower has requested from Lender a loan for the purpose of financing the Property.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1. LOAN
1.1   LOAN. By and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lender agrees to lend to Borrower and Borrower agrees to borrow from Lender the principal sum of TWENTY-ONE MILLION NINE HUNDRED SIX THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED FIFTY AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($21,906,950.00) (“Loan”), said sum to be evidenced by a Promissory Note Secured by Deed of Trust of even date herewith (“Note”). The Note shall be secured, in part, by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Financing Statement of even date herewith, executed by Borrower for the benefit of Lender, as hereafter amended, supplemented, replaced or modified (“Deed of Trust”), encumbering certain real property and improvements as legally defined therein. The obligations of the Borrower under the Loan will be guaranteed in whole or in part by SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING, INC., a Delaware Corporation, (“Guarantor”) pursuant to a guaranty agreement of even date herewith (“Guaranty”). Amounts disbursed to or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Note shall be used to finance the Property and for such other purposes and uses as may be permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as described below.
 
1.2   FEES. Borrower shall pay to Lender, at Loan closing, a non-refundable loan fee in the amount of TWO HUNDRED NINETEEN THOUSAND SIXTY-NINE AND 50/100 DOLLARS ($219,069.50).
 
1.3   LOAN DOCUMENTS; EFFECTIVE DATE. Borrower shall deliver to Lender concurrently with this Agreement the Note, the Deed of Trust and any other documents required by Lender, as hereafter amended, supplemented, replaced or modified, each properly executed and in recordable form, as applicable, described in Exhibit B (“Loan Documents”) together with those documents described in Exhibit B as other related documents. The effective date (“Effective Date”) of the Loan Documents shall be the date of this Agreement as set forth on page 1 above.
 
1.4   MATURITY DATE. The maturity date of the Loan shall be October 1, 2009 (“Maturity Date”).
 
1.5   FULL REPAYMENT AND SATISFACTION. In addition to the partial release option set forth in this Section 1.5, Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time and from time to time upon five (5) days written notice to Lender, subject to any breakage fee incurred by Lender. Upon receipt of all sums owing and outstanding under the Loan Documents, Lender shall issue a full reconveyance of the Property and


 

Loan No. 105093
    improvements from the lien of the Deed of Trust; provided, however, that each of the following conditions shall be satisfied at the time of, and with respect to, such reconveyance: (a) Lender shall have received all escrow, closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such satisfaction and any sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents; (b) Lender shall have received a written release satisfactory to Lender of any set aside letter, letter of credit or other form of undertaking which Lender has issued to any surety, governmental agency or any other party in connection with the Loan and/or the Property; and (c) Lender’s obligation to make further disbursements under the Loan shall terminate as to any portion of the Loan undisbursed as of the date of issuance of such reconveyance, and any commitment of Lender to lend any undisbursed portion of the Loan shall be cancelled.
 
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Loan Agreement, the parties anticipate that either Property I or Property II, as defined in Exhibit A hereto, covered by the Deed of Trust may be released prior to the Maturity Date of the Loan, as long as the conditions in this paragraph are satisfied. So long as there exist no Defaults (as defined in the Loan Documents) or any event, omission or failure of condition, which would constitute a Default after Notice or lapse of time, or both, Lender shall issue a partial satisfaction of Deed of Trust covering the specific Property upon the following conditions: (a) receipt of $18,656,950.00, for Property I or receipt of $3,250,000.00 for Property II and remaining loan balance is not more than 65% of the remaining collateral value, as determined solely in the discretion of the Lender; and (b) Lender shall have received a written release satisfactory to Lender of any set aside letter, letter of credit or other form of undertaking which Lender has issued to any surety, governmental agency or any other party in connection with the Loan and/or the Property and improvements.
 
1.6   OPTION TO EXTEND. Borrower shall have no option to extend the term of the Loan.
ARTICLE 2. DISBURSEMENT
2.1   CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. Lender’s obligation to make the disbursement of the Loan shall be subject to satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:
  a.   Lender shall have received fully executed originals of all Loan Documents, the Guaranty and any other documents, instruments, policies, and other materials requested by Lender under the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
 
  b.   There shall exist no Default as defined in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any event, omission or failure of condition which would constitute a Default after notice or lapse of time, or both.
2.2   FUNDS TRANSFER DISBURSEMENTS.
  a.   Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of the Loan made by Lender or its affiliate pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in Exhibit D. Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or, (ii) made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Lender in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that Lender may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower. Lender is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower. If Lender takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, Borrower agrees that no matter how many times Lender takes these actions Lender will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement

Loan No. 105093
      between Lender and Borrower. Borrower agrees to notify Lender of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within 14 days after Lender’s confirmation to Borrower of such transfer.
 
  b.   Lender will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. Lender may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization; (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to Lender or prohibited by government authority; (iii) cause Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline; or (iv) otherwise cause Lender to violate any applicable law or regulation.
 
  c.   Lender shall not be liable to Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (A) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (B) Lender or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Lender makes no representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 3. INSURANCE
Borrower shall, while any obligation of Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document remains outstanding, maintain at Borrower’s sole expense, with licensed insurers approved by Lender, the following policies of insurance in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Capitalized terms used in this Article shall have the same meaning as such terms are commonly and presently defined in the insurance industry:
3.1   TITLE INSURANCE. An extended coverage ALTA Lender’s Policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”), together with any endorsements which Lender may require, insuring Lender, in the principal amount of the Loan, of the validity and the priority of the lien of the Deed of Trust upon the Property and the improvements, subject only to matters approved by Lender in writing.

3.4   OTHER COVERAGE. Borrower shall provide to Lender evidence of such other reasonable insurance in such reasonable amounts as Lender may from time to time request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located. Such coverage requirements may include, but are not limited to, coverage for earthquake, acts of terrorism, mold, business income, delayed business income, rental loss, sink hole, soft costs, tenant improvement or environmental.

Wells Fargo Bank Loan #105093
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
          This Letter Agreement (“Letter Agreement”) is made by and among Borrower, Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Lender”).
          Reference is hereby made to that certain Loan Agreement dated September 28, 2007 by and between Borrower and Lender (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) and all other documents and instruments executed by Borrowers in connection with the Loan as described in the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement. Guarantor has guaranteed certain obligations of Borrower in connection with the Loan. All documents, instruments executed in connection with the Loan (including the Loan Agreement), together with all modifications and amendments thereto and any document required hereunder, are collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”.
          As you know, the Loan is scheduled to mature on October 1, 2009. Upon the satisfaction of, and in consideration of, the following terms and conditions, Lender has agreed to (i) extend the Maturity Date to November 16, 2009 (the “Extended Maturity Date”) and (ii) forbear from enforcing its rights or remedies with respect to the Financial Covenant Defaults (defined below) until the earlier to occur of (a) the Extended Maturity Date or (b) other than the Financial

1


 

Covenant Defaults, a Default or any event or condition which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, constitutes a Default:
  a)   No Defaults. Except with respect to breaches of covenants contained in Sections 7.3(a)(i)-(iii) of the Loan Agreement (the “Financial Covenant Defaults”), the undersigned hereby represents and warrants, that as of the date of this Letter Agreement, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no event or condition which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
  b)   Waiver of Claims. Each of Borrower and Guarantor knowingly (and after having had an opportunity to consult its own legal counsel), consciously, intentionally and fully waives and releases any and all claims, defenses, counterclaims or other charges, offsets or rights of action, known or unknown, contingent or direct, patent or latent, and arising on or before the date hereof, against Lender in any way, directly or indirectly, connected to or arising out of the transactions and activities that are covered by or associated with the Loan Documents. Further, each of Borrower and Guarantor, by acceptance of this Letter Agreement and its terms, acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, each of Borrower and Guarantor has no basis for any claim for loss, damages, injury or wrongdoing of any kind (negligent, intentional or otherwise) against Lender in connection with the transactions, activities or matters that have any connection with or to the Loan Documents and the transactions, activities, acts and subject matter thereof. Each of Borrower and Guarantor agrees not to assert any such claim arising on or before the date hereof, whether by way of defense, counterclaim, offset, independent claim or otherwise. The waivers and estoppel assertions set forth herein are intended to be comprehensive in their breadth and application and apply to acts, actions, omissions, statements, representations, commitments, covenants, promises, agreements and any and all other sources of liability or claim of any kind arising on or before the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Borrower and Guarantor specifically waives the benefits of California Civil Code Section 1542 (or any similar provisions) which provides as follows:
 
      A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
  c)   Title Costs. Borrower shall, within seven (7) days of written demand therefor by Lender, reimburse Lender for charges related to an additional endorsement for each of Lender’s policies of title insurance obtained in connection with the Loan.
          Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in this Letter Agreement shall alter or affect any provision, condition or covenant contained in the Loan Documents. From and after the date hereof, this Letter Agreement shall be deemed a “Loan Document” as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement.

2


 

          Nothing in this Letter Agreement imposes a commitment or obligation of any kind on the part of the Lender to negotiate, enter into or otherwise provide any further forbearance, loan extension or loan modification of any kind. Unless and except as expressly stated herein, this Letter Agreement is not intended to limit or waive, nor shall it be deemed in any way to limit or waive, any of Lender’s right or remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise. In the event that a Default other than the Financial Covenant Defaults occurs at any time prior to the Extended Maturity Date, Lender may immediately exercise its rights and remedies in any manner it chooses in its sole and absolute discretion. The Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect as modified by this Letter Agreement.
          Please confirm your agreement to the foregoing by executing a counterpart of the Letter Agreement below and returning such counterpart to Lender. Upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions listed above, all references in the Loan Documents to the Maturity Date shall mean November 16, 2009.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,

ARTICLE X
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, at any time thereafter exercise any one or more of the following rights, powers or remedies.
     Section 10.1 Acceleration.
     Agent may declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents to the contrary, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or of dishonor, or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby waives.
     Section 10.2 Uniform Commercial Code.
     Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws. Upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent, at a place designated by Agent. Agent or its agents may without notice from time to time enter upon Borrower’s premises to take

38


 

possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, to process it or otherwise prepare it for sale, or to sell or otherwise dispose of it.
     Any written notice of the sale, disposition or other intended action by Agent with respect to the Collateral which is sent by regular mail, postage prepaid, to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 12.1 (Notices), or such other address of Borrower which may from time to time be shown on Agent’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale, disposition or other action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. Agent may alternatively or additionally give such notice in any other commercially reasonable manner. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Agent to give any notice not required by applicable Laws.
     If any consent, approval, or authorization of any state, municipal or other Governmental Authority or of any other Person or of any Person having any interest therein, should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, Borrower agrees to execute all such applications and other instruments, and to take all other action, as may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization.
     Borrower recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable Federal and state Laws. Agent may, therefore, in its discretion, take such steps as it may deem appropriate to comply with such Laws and may, for example, at any sale of the Collateral consisting of securities restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction of Agent that they are purchasing such securities for their account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any thereof. Borrower covenants and agrees to do or cause to be done promptly all such acts and things as Agent may request from time to time and as may be necessary to offer and/or sell the securities or any part thereof in a manner which is valid and binding and in conformance with all applicable Laws. Upon any such sale or disposition, Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral consisting of securities so sold.
     Section 10.3 Specific Rights With Regard to Collateral.
     In addition to all other rights and remedies provided hereunder or as shall exist at law or in equity from time to time, Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to), without notice to Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, in the name of Agent and/or any or all of Lenders and/or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Agent and Lenders, but at the cost and expense of Borrower and without notice to Borrower:
               (a) assign any and all Operating Agreements and Management Contracts to any Person designated by Agent, and/or exercise all rights and privileges of Borrower under such contracts and agreements for the purpose of realizing on the Collateral and to the extent and for the time required to realize the value of the Collateral;

39


 

               (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, assume such management, operation and control of the Property to the extent and for the time necessary to realize the value of the Collateral;
               (c) cause Borrower to engage, contract with, and/or hire qualified service, billing, collection and other such agents, organizations and companies acceptable to Agent to collect and/or realize upon any or all of the Collateral and to remit the proceeds to Agent;
               (d) subject to applicable state and federal laws pertaining to resident confidentiality, request any Account Debtor obligated on any of the Accounts to make payments thereon directly to Agent to the extent permitted by applicable law, with Agent taking control of the cash and non-cash proceeds thereof and/or direct Borrower to (and Borrower shall) turn over to Agent immediately following receipt all payments with respect to the Collateral in the form received (with the addition of all necessary endorsements) and not to deposit, negotiate or otherwise deal with those payments;
               (e) compromise, extend or renew any of the Collateral or deal with the same as it may deem advisable;
               (f) make exchanges, substitutions or surrenders of all or any part of the Collateral;
               (g) remove from Borrower’s places of business all books, records, ledger sheets, correspondence, invoices and documents, relating to or evidencing any of the Collateral or without cost or expense to Agent, make such use of Borrower’s place of business as may be reasonably necessary to administer, control and collect the Collateral;
               (h) demand, collect, receipt for and give renewals, extensions, discharges and releases of any of the Collateral;
               (i) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral;
               (j) settle, renew, extend, compromise, compound, exchange or adjust claims in respect of any of the Collateral or any legal proceedings brought in respect thereof;
               (k) endorse the name of Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or on any Proof of Claim in Bankruptcy against an Account Debtor; and
               (l) notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to Borrower to such address or Post Office Box as Agent may designate and receive and open all mail addressed to Borrower.

40


 

     In addition, Borrower shall, following an Event of Default which remains uncured beyond any applicable grace period, promptly, upon request, execute and deliver to Agent written assignments, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in form and content acceptable to Agent, of specific Accounts or groups of Accounts; provided, however, that the lien and/or security interest granted to Agent under this Agreement shall not be limited in any way to or by the inclusion or exclusion of Accounts within such assignments. Such Accounts shall secure payment of the Obligations and are not sold to Agent whether or not any assignment thereof, which is separate from this Agreement, is in form absolute.
     Without limiting Agent’s other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, following Borrower’s failure to make any payment due under the Loan Documents, which failure continues for more than sixty (60) days or the occurrence of any event which causes the District of Columbia to require the Facility to close or to cease operations as an assisted living facility, Agent may also direct Borrower to appoint a manager for the Facility and enter into a management agreement with a management company approved by Agent, the terms of which agreement shall be approved by Agent.
     Section 10.4 Application of Proceeds.
     Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by Agent to the payment first of any and all Agent’s Obligations, then to any and all Enforcement Costs, and any balance of such proceeds will be remitted to Lenders in like currency and funds received ratably in accordance with their respective Term Loan Pro Rata Shares of such balance. Each Lender shall apply any such proceeds received from Agent to its Obligations in such order and manner as such Lender shall determine. If the sale or other disposition of the Collateral fails to fully satisfy the Obligations, Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for any deficiency.
     Section 10.5 Performance by Agent.
     Agent without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any Default or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower, and may enter upon the premises of Borrower for that purpose and take all such action thereon as Agent may consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact to do so, with power of substitution, in the name of Agent, in the name of any or all of Lenders, or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Agent, but at the cost and expense of Borrower and without notice to Borrower. All sums so paid or advanced by Agent together with interest thereon from the date of payment, advance or incurring until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate and all costs and expenses, shall be deemed part of the Enforcement Costs, shall be paid by Borrower to Agent on demand, and shall constitute and become a part of Agent’s Obligations.
     Section 10.6 Other Remedies.
     Agent may from time to time proceed to protect or enforce the rights of Agent and/or any of Lenders by an action or actions at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents, or for an injunction against the violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, or in aid of the exercise or

41


 

execution of any right, remedy or power granted in this Agreement, the Financing Documents, and/or applicable Laws. Agent and each of Lenders is authorized to offset and apply to all or any part of the Obligations all moneys, credits and other property of any nature whatsoever of Borrower now or at any time hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or from, under the control or custody of, or on deposit with, Agent, any of Lenders or any Affiliate of Agent or any of Lenders.
     Section 10.7 Receiver or Other Court Order.
     Following an uncured Event of Default, as a matter of right, following ten (10) days notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security, and upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, Agent shall be entitled to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Collateral, and of the payments and proceeds thereof and therefrom, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and to an order of court directing that payments, including Medicare and Medicaid payments, be made directly to the receiver. Borrower will pay to Agent, upon demand, all expenses, including reasonable receiver’s fees, reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and agents compensation, advanced by Borrower and incurred pursuant to the provisions contained in this Section.
ARTICLE XI
AGENT
     Section 11.1 Appointment.
     Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Chevy Chase as its agent under this Agreement and the Financing Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Financing Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this ARTICLE XI. The provisions of this ARTICLE XI are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as an administrative representative of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Lenders, Borrower or any Person. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Financing Documents, by or through its agents or employees.
     Section 11.2 Nature of Duties.
          11.2.1 In General
          Agent shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Financing Documents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the credit worthiness of Borrower, and

42


 

Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter. If Agent seeks the consent or approval of any of Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking of any action hereunder, then Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the applicable percentage of Lenders has instructed Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
          11.2.2 Express Authorization
          Agent is hereby expressly and irrevocably authorized by each of Lenders, as agent on behalf of itself and the other Lenders:
               (a) to receive on behalf of each of Lenders any payment or collection on account of the Obligations and to distribute to each Lender its Term Loan Pro Rata Share of all such payments and collections so received as provided in this Agreement;
               (b) to receive all documents and items to be furnished to Lenders under the Financing Documents (nothing contained herein shall relieve Borrower of any obligation to deliver any item directly to Lenders to the extent expressly required by the provisions of this Agreement);
               (c) to act or refrain from acting in this Agreement and in the other Financing Documents with respect to those matters so designated for Agent;
               (d) to act as nominee for and on behalf of Lenders in and under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents;

               (h) to deliver to Borrower and other Persons, all requests, demands, approvals, notices, and consents received from any of Lenders;

               (j) to execute any of the Security Documents and any other documents on behalf of Lenders as the secured party for the benefit of Agent and Lenders; and
               (k) to take such other actions as may be requested by the Requisite Lenders.
     Section 11.3 Rights, Exculpation, Etc.
     Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Financing Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that Agent shall be obligated on the terms set forth herein for performance of its express obligations hereunder, and except that Agent shall be liable with respect to its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectible, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Person. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents or the financial condition of any Person, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the applicable percentage of Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of the applicable percentage of Lenders and notwithstanding the instructions of Lenders, Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it, in good faith believes that such action exposes Agent to any liability.
     Section 11.4 Reliance.
     Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex,

44


 

telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may deem and treat the original Lenders as the owners of the respective Notes for all purposes until receipt by Agent of a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer of any interest therein by Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any interest, authority or consent of any holder of any of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, or assignee of such Notes. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion.
     Section 11.5 Indemnification.
     Each Lender, severally, agrees to reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements including, without limitation, Enforcement Costs, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Agreement for any of the Financing Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Term Loan Pro Rata Share, all of the foregoing as they may arise, be asserted or be imposed from time to time; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 11.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Agent, after having received any such reimbursement from any or all of Lenders, shall later recover, from a source other than a Lender, all or any portion of the amount reimbursed, Agent shall share such recovery with the reimbursing Lenders in proportion to their contribution to such reimbursement.
     Section 11.6 Chevy Chase Individually.
     With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, and the Note issued to it, Chevy Chase shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Chevy Chase in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite Lenders. Chevy Chase and its Affiliates may lend money to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower, or any other Person or any of their officers, directors and employees as if Chevy Chase were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto and Agent may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their officers, directors and employees for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for or share the same with Lenders.

45


 

     Section 11.7 Successor Agent.
          11.7.1 Resignation.
          Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower and Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to Section 11.7.2 (Appointment of Successor) or as otherwise provided below.
          11.7.2 Appointment of Successor.
          Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to Section 11.7.1 (Resignation), the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor to Agent. If a successor to Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, Agent retiring, upon notice to Borrower, shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
          11.7.3 Successor Agent.
          Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Financing Documents by a successor Agent, such successor to Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Agent retiring, and Agent retiring shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Financing Documents. After any Agent’s resignation as Agent under the Financing Documents, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Financing Documents.
     Section 11.8 Collateral Matters.
          11.8.1 Release of Collateral.
          Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents:
               (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations;
               (b) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry);
               (c) constituting property leased to Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by Borrower to be, renewed or extended; or
               (d) constituting property covered by Permitted Liens with lien priority superior to those Liens in favor or for the benefit of Lenders.

46


 

          11.8.2 Confirmation of Authority, Execution of Releases.
          Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Lenders as set forth in Section 11.8.1 (Release of Collateral), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Borrower, the authority to release any property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents conferred upon Agent under Section 11.8.1 (Release of Collateral). So long as no Event of Default is then continuing, upon receipt by Agent of confirmation from the requisite percentage of Lenders, of its authority to release any particular item or types of property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents, and upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (a) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (b) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Person, in respect of), all interests retained by any Person, including, without limitation, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents.
          11.8.3 Absence of Duty.
          Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, Borrower or any other Person to assure that the property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent on behalf of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 11.8.3 or in any of the Financing Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in property covered by this Agreement or the Financing Documents as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders.
     Section 11.9 Agency for Perfection.
     Each Lender hereby appoints Agent and each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Lenders’ Liens in Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction or otherwise, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefore, shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

47


 

     Section 11.10 Exercise of Remedies.
     Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or any Financing Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Loans, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.
     Section 11.11 Consents.
     In the event Agent requests the consent of a Lender and does not receive a written denial thereof, or a written notice from a Lender that due course consideration of the request requires additional time, in each case, within ten (10) Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, then such Lender will be deemed to have given such consent.
     Section 11.12 Dissemination of Information.
     Agent will provide Lenders with any information received by Agent from Borrower which is required to be provided to Agent or to Lenders hereunder; provided, however, that Agent shall not be liable to any one or more Lenders for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders. No course of dealing between Borrower and Agent and/or any of Lenders and no act or failure to act from time to time on the part of Agent and/or any of Lenders shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents or any right or remedy under this Agreement, under any of the other Financing Documents or under applicable Laws. Without implying any limitation on the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 12.2.2 (Circumstances Where Consent of all of Lenders is Required):

49


 

          (c) No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.
          (d) No failure or delay by Lenders to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any such term, condition, covenant or agreement or of any such breach or preclude Lenders from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any time or times.
          (e) By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents, Lenders shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount.
          12.2.2 Circumstances Where Consent of all of Lenders is Required.
               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amendment, modification, change or waiver shall be effective without the consent of all of Lenders to:

          (i) waive the performance, observance or compliance with or amend Section 7.29 (Debt Service Ratio) or Section 7.30 (Occupancy Covenant).
     Additionally, no change may be made to the amount of a Leader’s Commitment or to Lender’s percentage of all Commitments without the prior written consent of that Lender.
     Section 12.3 Cumulative Remedies.
     The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the other Financing Documents are cumulative, may be exercised concurrently or separately, may be exercised from time to time and in such order as Agent shall determine, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers and remedies provided by existing or future applicable Laws. In order to entitle Agent to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be expressly required in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Agent may:
          (a) proceed against Borrower with or without proceeding against any other Person (including, without limitation, any one or more of the Guarantors) who may be liable (by endorsement, guaranty, indemnity or otherwise) for all or any part of the Obligations;
          (b) proceed against Borrower with or without proceeding under any of the other Financing Documents or against any Collateral or other collateral and security for all or any part of the Obligations;

     Section 12.4 Severability.
     In case one or more provisions, or part thereof, contained in this Agreement or in the other Financing Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Law, then without need for any further agreement, notice or action:
          (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto and shall not be affected or impaired thereby;
          (b) the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity;
          (c) if such provision or part thereof pertains to repayment of the Obligations, then, at the sole and absolute discretion of Agent, all of the Obligations of Borrower to Agent and Lenders shall become immediately due and payable; and
          (d) if the affected provision or part thereof does not pertain to repayment of the Obligations, but operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such provision or part thereof only shall be void, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
     Section 12.5 Assignments by Lenders.
     Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but without notice to or consent of Borrower, assign to any Person (each an “Assignee” and collectively, the “Assignees”) all or a portion of such Lender’s Commitments; provided that, unless such Lender has assigned all of its Commitments, after giving effect to such assignment, such Lender must continue to hold a Pro Rata Share of the Commitments at least equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Any Lender that elects to make such an assignment shall pay to Agent, for the exclusive benefit of Agent, an administrative fee for processing each such assignment in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00). Such Lender and its Assignee shall notify Agent and Borrower in writing of the date on which the assignment is to be effective (the “Adjustment Date”). On or before the Adjustment Date, the assigning Lender, Agent, Borrower and the respective Assignee shall execute and deliver a written assignment agreement in a form acceptable to Agent, which shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect such assignment. Upon the request of any assigning Lender following an assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.5, Borrower shall issue new Notes to the assigning Lender and its Assignee reflecting such assignment, in exchange for the existing Notes held by the assigning Lender. Agent will

52


 

continue to hold at least a fifty-one percent (51%) Pro Rata Share of the Commitments and at no time shall there be more than three (3) Lenders including Agent and MB Financial Bank, N.A..
     In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement, any of the Commitments or any of the Obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.
     Section 12.6 Participations by Lenders.
     Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more financial institutions participating interests in any of such Lender’s Obligations or Commitments; provided, however, that (a) no such participation shall relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and under all of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, and (c) Borrower, Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.
     Section 12.7 Disclosure of Information by Lenders.
     In connection with any sale, transfer, assignment or participation by any Lender in accordance with Section 12.5 (Assignments by Lenders) or Section 12.6 (Participations by Lenders), each Lender shall have the right to disclose to any actual or potential purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant all financial records, information, reports, financial statements and documents obtained in connection with this Agreement and/or any of the other Financing Documents or otherwise.
     Section 12.8 Successors and Assigns.
     This Agreement and all other Financing Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent and Lenders and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, except that Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Agent and the Requisite Lenders of Lenders.
     Section 12.9 Continuing Agreements.
     All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in this Agreement, in any of the other Financing Documents, and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the making by Lenders of the Loans and the execution and delivery of the Notes, shall be binding upon Borrower regardless of how long before or after the date hereof any of the Obligations were or are incurred, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid. From time to time upon Agent’s request, and as a condition of the release of any one or more of the Security Documents, Borrower and other Persons obligated with respect to the Obligations shall provide Agent with such acknowledgments and agreements as Agent may require to the effect that there exists no defenses, rights of setoff or recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against Agent, any or all of Lenders, and/or any of its or their agents and others, or to the extent there are, the same are waived and released.

Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which Borrower is subject to jurisdiction, by a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon Borrower in one of the manners specified in this Section or as otherwise permitted by applicable Laws.

     1. Interest.
     Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating rate based on an independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates for one-month dollar deposits in the London Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 175 basis points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”) which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements imposed upon the Lender from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each month. All interest payable under the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The LIBOR Rate shall be in effect for a period of the number of days indicated (each a “LIBOR Period”), in any case extended to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith) when necessary, beginning on the date hereof or the expiration date of the then-current LIBOR Period.
     2. Payments and Maturity.
     The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates provided above, shall be payable as follows:
     (a) Commencing on                     , ___ and continuing on the same day of each and every month thereafter, to and including                      ,___, interest only;
     (b) Commencing on                    , ___and continuing on the same day of each and every month thereafter, to and including                    , ___, principal shall be due and payable in equal monthly payments of $                    , plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance; and

60


 

     (c) Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on August 28, 2009.
     3. Default Interest.
     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest thereafter until such Event of Default is cured at the Post Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
     4. Late Charges.
     In the event that any payment due under the terms of this Note is not received by the Lender within fifteen (15) days of the date such payment is due (inclusive of the date when due), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment.
     5. Application and Place of Payments.
     All payments made on account of this Note, including prepayments, shall be applied first to the payment of any prepayment fee due hereunder, second to any late charge then due hereunder, third to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Sum, with application first made to all principal installments then due hereunder, next to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity and thereafter to the unpaid principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. All payments on account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds during regular business hours of the Lender at its principal office in Chevy Chase, Maryland or at such other times and places as the Lender may at any time and from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower.
     6. Prepayment.

     (b) Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note in whole or in part subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be deemed to be a prepayment of the Principal Sum subject to any prepayment fee due hereunder.
     7. Other Financing Documents.
     The term “Financing Documents” as used in this Note shall mean collectively this Note, the Deed of Trust (as hereinafter defined) and any other instrument, agreement, or document previously, simultaneously, or hereafter executed and delivered by the Borrower and/or any other person, singularly or jointly with any other person, evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or in connection with this Note or the Principal Sum evidenced hereby.

61


 

     8. Security.
     This Note is secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (Loan A) of even date herewith from the Borrower to Alexandra Johns and Ellen-Elizabeth Lee, trustees (the “Deed of Trust”), covering the Borrower’s fee simple interest in certain real property located in the District of Columbia, described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof and all other property, real and personal, more particularly described in the Deed of Trust (the “Property”).
     9. Events of Default.

          (a) The failure of the Borrower to pay to the Lender when due any and all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under the terms of this Note; or
          (b) The occurrence of a default or an event of default under the terms and conditions of any of the other Financing Documents, which default or event of default remains uncured beyond any applicable grace and/or cure period provided therefor.

The Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors, and other parties who may now or in the future be primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note hereby severally waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of this Note and expressly agree that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrower, guarantors and endorsers.
     11. Consent to Jurisdiction.
     The Borrower irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which the Borrower is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon the Borrower as provided in this Note or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

No failure or delay by the Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Note or any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at a later time or times.

Exhibit 10.5
GUARANTY OF PAYMENT
(Loan A)
     THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 28, 2007, by SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Guarantor”) in favor of CHEVY CHASE BANK, F.S.B., a federal savings bank, its successors and assigns, as Agent (“Agent”) for Lenders (individually a “Lender” and collectively, “Lenders”) party to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
     IN ORDER to induce Lenders to make a loan in the principal amount of $30,000,000 (the “Loan”) to Sunrise Connecticut Avenue Assisted Living, L.L.C., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (“Borrower”) and in connection therewith to accept one or more Deed of Trust Notes (as amended, extended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Note”) and a Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (Loan A) (as amended, extended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Deed of Trust”), all of even date herewith, made by Borrower in the aggregate principal sum of $30,000,000, which Loan is to be advanced pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Agreement (Loan A) of even date herewith by and among Borrower, Agent and Lenders named therein and party thereto (as amended, extended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with Agent and Lenders as follows:
     1. Guaranty.
     Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Agent and Lenders: (a) the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectibility) of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon, in each case when due and payable, whether on any installment payment date or at the stated or accelerated maturity, all according to the terms of the Note and the Deed of Trust; and (b) the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectibility) of all other sums and charges which may at any time be due and payable in accordance with, or secured by, the Note, the Deed of Trust or any other document evidencing or securing the Loan (together with the Note and the Deed of Trust, the “Financing Documents”); and (c) the due and punctual performance of all of the other terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Note and the other Financing Documents, on the part of Borrower or any subsequent owner of the property more particularly described in the Deed of Trust (the “Property”) to be performed.
     2. Guaranty Unconditional.
     Guarantor expressly agrees that Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or further assent of Guarantor, except as specifically set forth herein, and without in any way releasing, affecting or impairing the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder: (a) waive compliance with, or any defaults under, or grant any other indulgences with respect to, the Financing Documents; (b) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, modify, amend, change or terminate any provisions of the Financing Documents; (c) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, grant extensions or renewals of or with respect to the Note or the other Financing Documents; (d) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, effect any release, subordination,

 


 

compromise or settlement in connection with the Note and the other Financing Documents; (e) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, agree to the substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of all or any part of the Property, or any other collateral for the Loan; (f) make advances for the purpose of performing any term or covenant contained in any of the Financing Documents with respect to which Borrower or the then owner of the Property shall be in default; (g) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, assign or otherwise transfer the Financing Documents or this Agreement or any interest therein or herein; and (h) deal in all respects with Borrower or the then owner of the Property as if this Agreement were not in effect. The obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement shall be unconditional, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note or the Deed of Trust, or any security given therefor or in connection therewith, or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.
     3. Guaranty Primary.
     The obligations and liability of Guarantor under this Agreement shall be primary, direct and immediate; shall not be conditional or contingent upon pursuit by Agent of any remedies it may have against Borrower with respect to the Financing Documents, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or by law; and shall not be subject to any counterclaim, recoupment, set-off, reduction or defense based upon any claim that Guarantor may have against Borrower, Agent or any Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not be required to make any demand on Borrower and/or the then owner of the Property, or to sell at foreclosure or otherwise pursue or exhaust its remedies against the Property or any part thereof and/or against Borrower or the then owner of the Property, before, simultaneously with or after enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor. Any one or more successive and/or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Guarantor either in the same action, if any, brought against Borrower and/or the then owner of the Property or in separate actions, as often as Agent may deem advisable.
     4. Waivers by Guarantor.
     Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives: (a) presentment and demand for payment of the principal of or interest on the Note and protest of non-payment; (b) notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of presentment, demand and protest; (c) except as set forth below, notice of any default under this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents and notice of all indulgences; (d) except as set forth below, demand for observance, performance, or enforcement of any terms or provisions of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents; (e) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Borrower; and (f) all other notices and demands otherwise required by law which Guarantor may lawfully waive.
     5. Reimbursement for Expenses.
     If Agent shall commence any action or proceeding for the enforcement of this Agreement, Guarantor shall reimburse Agent promptly upon demand, for all expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

     6. Acceleration.
     Anything in this Agreement or in any of the Financing Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent, at its option, may, as to Guarantor, accelerate the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Financing Documents in the event of: (a) the making by Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) the appointment of a custodian for Guarantor, or for any property of Guarantor; (c) the commencement of any proceeding by Guarantor under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership or like law or statute; or (d) the commencement of any proceeding against Guarantor under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership or like law or statute which is not discharged or dismissed within ninety (90) days after institution thereof; or (e) the termination, dissolution or, liquidation of Guarantor, without the prior written consent of Agent. A change of control of Guarantor will not be a default hereunder or under any other Financing Document for this Loan so long as Guarantor continues to own one hundred percent (100%) of Sunrise Senior Living Management, Inc., Sunrise Senior Living Investments, Inc. and Sunrise Development, Inc. and the contracts between these entities and the Borrower remain in full force and effect.
     7. Subordination; Subrogation.
     If Guarantor shall advance any sums to Borrower or if Borrower shall hereafter become indebted to Guarantor, such sums and indebtedness shall be subordinate in all respects to the amounts then or thereafter due and owing to Lenders under the Financing Documents. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in and to the Note or the Deed of Trust or all or any part of Lenders’ interest therein, until all amounts owing to Lenders shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding any provision of this Paragraph to the contrary, if Guarantor is or becomes an “insider” (as defined from time to time in Section 101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) with respect to Borrower, then Guarantor irrevocably and absolutely waives any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights against Borrower with respect to this Agreement, whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Guarantor shall not be deemed to be a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower by reason of the existence of this Agreement in the event that Borrower becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
     8. Representations and Warranties.
     Guarantor represents and warrants to Agent as follows:
          (a) Good Standing. Guarantor (a) is a corporation duly organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power to own its property and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and (c) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned by it therein or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary.
          (b) Power and Authority. Guarantor has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which it is a party and

3


 

to incur and perform the Obligations (as defined in the Deed of Trust) whether under this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or otherwise, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action. No consent or approval of shareholders or any creditors of Guarantor, and no consent, approval, filing or registration with or notice to any Governmental Authority on the part of Guarantor, is required as a condition to the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the performance by Guarantor of the Obligations.
          (c) Binding Agreements. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents executed and delivered by Guarantor have been properly executed and delivered and constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of Guarantor and are fully enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms.
          (d) No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents executed and delivered by Guarantor nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will conflict with, violate or be prevented by (i) the charter or bylaws of Guarantor, (ii) any existing mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement binding on Guarantor or affecting its property, or (iii) any Laws.
          (e) Compliance with Laws. Guarantor is not in violation of any applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any Laws relating to employment practices, to environmental, occupational and health standards and controls) or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court, arbitrator or any Governmental Authority affecting Guarantor or its properties, the violation of which, considered in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business, operations or properties of Guarantor.
          (f) Litigation. Except as shown on the Form 8K provided to Lender, there are no proceedings, actions or investigations pending or, so far as Guarantor knows, threatened before or by any court, arbitrator or any Governmental Authority which, in any one case or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the interests of Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations, present or prospective, of Guarantor.
          (g) Financial Condition. On the date delivered, the draft financial statements of Guarantor dated June 30, 2006 were complete and correct and fairly presented the financial position of Guarantor and the results of its operations and transactions in its surplus accounts as of the date and for the period referred to and were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the period involved. Subsequently the Guarantor provided additional information including cash and debt levels as of June 30, 2007 and there has been no material adverse change in the cash or debt levels of Guarantor since such reports. The representations and warranties contained in this Section shall also cover financial statements furnished from time to time to Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement, Guarantor will not be required to deliver financial statements or operating statement until ten (10) days after such statements have been made publicly available by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There is no fact known to Guarantor which Guarantor has not disclosed to Agent in writing prior to the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects or in the future could, in the reasonable opinion of Guarantor materially adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, results of operations, business, or assets of Guarantor.
          (i) Financial Interest. Financial Interest. Guarantor will derive a benefit from the credit facilities extended to and the Obligations incurred by Borrower, and hereby waives any claim that Agent violated the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.) in connection with the Loan, any of the Financing Documents or any of the other Obligations or security for any obligation which is the subject thereto.

Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Guarantor and may be enforced in any court to whose jurisdiction Guarantor is subject, by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantor in a manner specified in this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

     17. Remedies Cumulative.
     All rights and remedies afforded to Agent by reason of this Agreement, the Financing Documents, or by law are separate and cumulative and the exercise of one shall not in any way limit or prejudice the exercise of any other such rights or remedies.

No waiver of any rights and remedies hereunder, and no modification or amendment hereof, shall be deemed made by Agent unless in writing and duly signed by Agent. Any such written waiver shall apply only to the particular instance specified therein and shall not impair the further exercise of such right or remedy or of any other right or remedy of Agent and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other right or remedy.

Exhibit 10.6
DEED OF TRUST NOTE A
     
$10,000,000   McLean, Virginia
    August 28, 2007
     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SUNRISE CONNECTICUT AVENUE ASSISTED LIVING, L.L.C., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of MB FINANCIAL BANK, N.A. a national banking association, its successors and assigns (the “Lender”), the principal sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) (the “Principal Sum”), together with interest thereon at the rate hereinafter provided, in accordance with the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the following:
     1. Interest.
     Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating rate based on an independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates for one-month dollar deposits in the London Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 175 basis points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”) which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements imposed upon the Lender from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each month. All interest payable under the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The LIBOR Rate shall be in effect for a period of the number of days indicated (each a “LIBOR Period”), in any case extended to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith) when necessary, beginning on the date hereof or the expiration date of the then-current LIBOR Period.
     2. Payments and Maturity.
     The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates provided above, shall be payable as follows:
          (a) Commencing on October 1, 2007 and continuing on the same day of each and every month thereafter, to and including September 1, 2008, interest only;
          (b) Commencing on October 1, 2008 and continuing on the same day of each and every month thereafter, to and including August 1, 2009, principal shall be due and payable in equal monthly payments of $11,000.00, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance; and
          (c) Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on August 28, 2009.

 


 

     3. Default Interest.
     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest thereafter until such Event of Default is cured at the Post Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
     4. Late Charges.
     In the event that any payment due under the terms of this Note is not received by the Lender within fifteen (15) days of the date such payment is due (inclusive of the date when due), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment.
     5. Application and Place of Payments.
     All payments made on account of this Note, including prepayments, shall be applied first to the payment of any prepayment fee due hereunder, second to any late charge then due hereunder, third to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Sum, with application first made to all principal installments then due hereunder, next to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity and thereafter to the unpaid principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. All payments on account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds during regular business hours of the Lender at its principal office at 6111 North River Road, Rosemont, Illinois 60018 or at such other times and places as the Lender may at any time and from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower.
     6. Prepayment.
          (a) The Borrower may prepay the Principal Sum in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Lender, without premium or penalty.
          (b) Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note in whole or in part subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be deemed to be a prepayment of the Principal Sum subject to any prepayment fee due hereunder.
     7. Other Financing Documents.
     The term “Financing Documents” as used in this Note shall mean collectively this Note, the Deed of Trust (as hereinafter defined) and any other instrument, agreement, or document previously, simultaneously, or hereafter executed and delivered by the Borrower and/or any other person, singularly or jointly with any other person, evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or in connection with this Note or the Principal Sum evidenced hereby.
     8. Security.
     This Note is secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (Loan A) of even date herewith from the Borrower to Alexandra

Johns and Ellen-Elizabeth Lee, trustees (the “Deed of Trust”), covering the Borrower’s fee simple interest in certain real property located in the District of Columbia, described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof and all other property, real and personal, more particularly described in the Deed of Trust (the “Property”).

          (b) The occurrence of a default or an event of default under the terms and conditions of any of the other Financing Documents, which default or event of default remains uncured beyond any applicable grace and/or cure period provided therefor.
     10. Remedies.
     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of the Lender, all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under the terms of this Note shall immediately become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender without notice to the Borrower or any other person, and the Lender shall have all of the rights, powers, and remedies available under the terms of this Note, any of the other Financing Documents and all applicable laws. The Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors, and other parties who may now or in the future be primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note hereby severally waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of this Note and expressly agree that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrower, guarantors and endorsers.
     11. Consent to Jurisdiction.
     The Borrower irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which the Borrower is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon the Borrower as provided in this Note or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

          (b) The Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with this Note by (i) the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower and (ii) serving a copy thereof upon the agent, if any, hereinabove designated and appointed by the Borrower as the Borrower’s agent for service of process. The Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service shall be deemed to be service of process upon the Borrower in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Nothing in this Note shall affect the right of the Lender to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law and nothing in this Note will limit the right of the Lender otherwise to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
     13. Expenses.
     The Borrower promises to pay to the Lender on demand by the Lender all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Note, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all court costs.

No failure or delay by the Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Note or any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at a later time or times. By accepting payment after the due

date of any amount payable under the terms of this Note, the Lender shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under the terms of this Note or to declare an Event of Default for the failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount. No course of dealing or conduct shall be effective to amend, modify, waive, release, or change any provisions of this Note.
     16. Partial Invalidity.
     In the event any provision of this Note (or any part of any provision) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision) of this Note; but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had not been contained in this Note, but only to the extent it is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

     Section 4.1 Obligations.
     Grantor agrees to promptly pay and/or perform all of the Obligations, time being of the essence in each case.
     Section 4.2 Insurance.
     Grantor shall maintain the following insurance at its sole cost and expense:
               (a) Insurance against Casualty to the Property under a policy or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism, malicious mischief and acts of terrorism. Unless

12


 

otherwise agreed in writing by Beneficiary, such insurance shall be for the full replacement cost of the Property. The deductible amount under such policy or policies shall not exceed $25,000. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this Section by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full replacement cost” means the actual replacement cost of the Property (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items). The “full replacement cost” shall be determined from time to time at the request of Beneficiary (but not more frequently than once every three (3) years) by a third party appraiser or appraisal company or one of the insurers, who shall be selected and paid for by Grantor but subject to Beneficiary’s approval. A combination of primary and umbrella policies can be used to satisfy the limit requirements.
               (b) Comprehensive general public liability insurance for bodily injuries to Persons and damage to property, in limits of not less than $2,000,000 for any one occurrence and $5,000,000 for the aggregate of all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance shall name Beneficiary as an additional insured.
               (c) Workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of Grantor in such amount as is required by Law.
               (d) During any period of construction upon the Property, Grantor shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, builder’s risk insurance (non-reporting form) of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for the full replacement cost of work in place and materials stored at or upon the Property.
               (e) If at any time the Property is in an area that has been identified as having special flood and mudslide hazards, and flood insurance is available in such area, Grantor shall purchase and maintain a flood insurance policy in form and amount acceptable to Beneficiary. In the event that the Property is not in an area having special flood and mudslide hazards, Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary upon request evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary stating that the Property is not in such a flood or mudslide hazard area.
               (f) Business interruption insurance in an amount acceptable to Beneficiary.
               (g) Grantor will obtain and keep in force such other and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Beneficiary in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Beneficiary in similar transactions.
               (h) To the extent that health care professionals are employed by Manager, medical liability, malpractice and other health care professional liability insurance protecting Manager, as the case may be, against claims arising from the professional services performed by Manager, as the case may be, with limits of (A) not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to bodily injury or death for each person or occurrence, and (B) not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the aggregate for claims made for injury or death in any one year, and an umbrella policy insuring against such liability in an aggregate amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

13


 

               (i) Each policy of insurance shall (i) be issued by one or more recognized, financially sound and responsible insurance companies, (ii) with respect to the insurance described under the preceding subsections (a), (d), (e) and (f), have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clauses in favor of and entitling Beneficiary without contribution to collect any and all proceeds payable under such insurance, (iii) provide that such policy shall not be canceled or modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Beneficiary, and (iv) provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Grantor which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment. Unless an escrow account has been established for insurance premiums pursuant to Section 4.5 (Property Assessments; Escrow), Grantor shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Grantor will deliver to Beneficiary evidence of payment satisfactory to Beneficiary. Grantor will within five (5) days give Beneficiary Notice of any cancellation of, or change in, any insurance policy. Beneficiary shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (i) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (ii) the solvency of any insurer, or (iii) the payment of losses.
     Section 4.3 Adjustment of Condemnation and Insurance Claims.
     Grantor shall give prompt Notice to Beneficiary of any Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened written Condemnation. Beneficiary is authorized, at its sole option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or Grantor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation or Casualty, and to settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith. In such case, Beneficiary may also deduct from any payment all of its Expenses. Beneficiary agrees, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it will not settle or compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent of Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Beneficiary elects not to adjust a Claim, Grantor agrees to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of the Claim subject to Beneficiary’s approval that will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Beneficiary of any Condemnation Award or insurance proceeds, the Property shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2 (Foreclosure), Beneficiary shall have the right to receive such funds to the extent of (a) any deficiency found to be due upon such sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Deed of Trust shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) necessary to reimburse Beneficiary for its Expenses. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Beneficiary, such further instruments or documents as may be requested by Beneficiary to confirm the grant and assignment to Beneficiary of any Condemnation Awards or insurance proceeds.
     Section 4.4 Application of Net Proceeds.
     Net Proceeds must be applied to either (a) the payment of the Obligations, or (b) the restoration of the Property. If either an Event of Default has occurred or the cost to repair or restore the Property exceeds $3,000,000, Beneficiary shall determine, in its sole discretion, the manner in which Net Proceeds are to be applied. If no Event of Default has occurred and the cost to repair or restore the Property is $3,000,000 or less, Grantor shall determine the manner in which Net Proceeds are to be applied. In the event that, and to the extent that, Net Proceeds are

14


 

to be applied to the restoration of the Property, each of the following conditions must also be met and complied with if and to the extent required by Beneficiary:
               (a) An escrow account shall have been established with Beneficiary composed of Net Proceeds, and, if necessary, additional deposits made by Grantor, which, in the sole judgment of Beneficiary, is sufficient to restore the Property to its use, value and condition immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation. Beneficiary shall be entitled, at the expense of Grantor, to consult such professionals as Beneficiary may deem necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the total costs of restoring the Property. Interest will be paid on funds in the escrow account. Grantor hereby assigns to, and grants Beneficiary a security interest in, such escrow account and the funds therein to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations.
               (b) Either:
               (i) All Material Leases must continue in full force and effect (subject to rent abatement during restoration as may be provided in the Material Leases) or, if terminated, the terminated Material Leases must have been replaced with Material Leases of equal quality in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary. Any tenant having the right to terminate its Material Lease due to the Casualty or Condemnation, and which has not exercised that right, shall have confirmed in writing to Beneficiary its irrevocable waiver of such termination right, or
               (ii) Proceeds from business interruption insurance must be available to Grantor in such amounts as Beneficiary, in its reasonable judgment, considers sufficient to pay the amortization under the Loan, and all Property Assessments, insurance premiums and other sums becoming due from Grantor pursuant to this Deed of Trust during the time required for restoration.
               (c) All restoration will be conducted under the supervision of an architect or engineer, or both, selected and paid for by Grantor and approved in advance by Beneficiary, and by a general contractor who shall be approved by Beneficiary and shall have executed a fixed price contract.
               (d) The restoration will be performed pursuant to the original plans and specifications approved by Beneficiary.
               (e) If required by Beneficiary at its sole option, the contractor or contractors responsible for the restoration shall have obtained payment and performance bonds from a corporate surety acceptable to Beneficiary and naming Beneficiary as dual obligee.
               (f) Grantor shall have provided Beneficiary with reasonably satisfactory evidence that there has been no adverse change in the economic viability of the Property since the date of this Deed of Trust, such evidence to include, among other things, an appraisal and market study prepared by a firm or firms acceptable to Beneficiary, but at Grantor’s expense.

15


 

If any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, apply Net Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations.
     If applied to restoration, Net Proceeds (and any other funds required to be deposited with Beneficiary) shall be disbursed from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the construction loan agreement most commonly used by Beneficiary or other regionally recognized construction lenders, at the time of the Casualty or Condemnation for major commercial construction loans, and subject also to the following conditions (which shall control in the event of any conflict with the provisions of such construction loan agreement):
               (a) Restoration shall commence within sixty (60) days following receipt of the Net Proceeds by Beneficiary or such additional time as may be required by Grantor in obtaining the necessary licenses, permits or approvals from the applicable Governmental Authorities provided Grantor has and continues to diligently pursue obtaining the necessary licenses, permits and approvals, and shall be completed within such time as may be determined by Beneficiary in view of the extent of the Casualty or Condemnation but, in any event, shall be completed within a reasonable period after the date the Net Proceeds are received.
               (b) At the time of each disbursement,
               (i) (1) no Leases (if any) shall have been terminated which either singularly or in the aggregate affect more than ten percent (10%) of the leasable area of the Property unless the same have been replaced with Leases of equal quality, in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, and (2) no Default shall have occurred, or
               (ii) Proceeds from business interruption insurance or other moneys of Grantor must be available to Grantor in such amounts as Beneficiary, in its reasonable judgment, considers sufficient to pay the amortization under the Loan and all Property Assessments, insurance premiums and other sums becoming due from Grantor pursuant to this Deed of Trust during the time required for restoration.
               (c) Restoration shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.4 (Additional Improvements).
               (d) With respect to each disbursement and accompanying each request therefor, there shall be delivered to Beneficiary (i) a certificate addressed to Beneficiary from the architect or engineer supervising the restoration stating that such disbursement is to pay the cost of restoration not paid previously by any prior disbursement, that all restoration completed to the date of such certificate has been completed in accordance with applicable Laws and the approved plans and specifications, and that the amount of such disbursement, together with all other disbursements, does not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the requisition for direct construction costs until such time as fifty percent (50%) of the restoration has been completed, then such disbursements shall not exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of the requisition for direct construction costs, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary that all Claims then existing for

16


 

labor, services and materials have been paid in full or will be paid in full from the proceeds of the disbursement requested.
               (e) The final holdback shall be disbursed only upon delivery to Beneficiary, in addition to the items required in paragraph (d) above, of the following:
               (i) Final waivers of Liens from all contractors and subcontractors.
               (ii) A certificate of the architect or engineer stating that the restoration has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the plans and specification approved by Beneficiary and in accordance with all applicable Laws.
               (iii) An estoppel affidavit from each tenant occupying or leasing space under a Material Lease in the Property stating that its Lease is in full force and effect.
               (f) Immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may apply Net Proceeds and any other sums deposited with Beneficiary to the repayment of the Obligations.
     Section 4.5 Property Assessments; Escrow.
               (a) Unless an escrow account for payment of Property Assessments is created pursuant to subsection (c) below, Grantor will (i) promptly pay in full and discharge all Property Assessments, and (ii) exhibit to Beneficiary, upon demand, the receipted bills for such Property Assessments prior to the day upon which the same shall become delinquent. Property Assessments shall be considered delinquent as of the first day any interest or penalties commence to accrue thereon.
               (b) In the event of the passage of any Law subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust in any manner changing or modifying the Laws now in force governing the taxation of deeds of trust or debts secured by deeds of trust or the manner of collecting any such taxes so as to adversely affect Beneficiary (including, without limitation, a requirement that internal revenue stamps be affixed to this Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents), Grantor will promptly pay any such tax. If Grantor fails to make such prompt payment, or if any Law prohibits Grantor from making such payment or would penalize Beneficiary if Grantor makes such payment, then the entire unpaid balance of the Obligations shall, without Notice, immediately become due and payable at the sole option of Beneficiary. In no event, however, shall any income taxes of Beneficiary or franchise taxes of Beneficiary measured by income, or taxes in lieu of such income taxes or franchise taxes, be required to be paid by Grantor.
               (c) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary reserves the right to require Grantor to pay to Beneficiary monthly, on any date selected by Beneficiary, such amount as Beneficiary from time to time estimates will generate sufficient funds to pay all Property Assessments and premiums for

17


 

the insurance required by Section 4.2 (Insurance) prior to the date such Property Assessments or insurance premiums next become due. Beneficiary’s estimates shall be based on the amounts actually payable or, if unknown, on the amounts actually paid for the year preceding that for which such payments are being made. Any deficiencies shall be promptly paid by Grantor to Beneficiary on demand. Grantor shall transmit or cause to be transmitted bills for the Property Assessments and insurance premiums to Beneficiary as soon as received by Grantor. When Beneficiary has received from Grantor, or on its account, funds sufficient to pay the same, Beneficiary shall, except as provided below following an Event of Default, pay such bills. Payments for such purposes may be made by Beneficiary at its discretion even though subsequent owners of the Property may benefit thereby. Upon foreclosure or release of this Deed of Trust or, to the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may apply any sums so deposited to the payment of the Obligations. If from time to time funds are accumulated under the terms of this Section in excess of the amount needed to pay the Property Assessments and such insurance premiums, Grantor at least annually shall be given the option of (i) receiving a refund of the excess funds, (ii) applying the excess funds to the payment of the Obligations (provided prepayment is then permitted without penalty pursuant to the Note), or (iii) permitting the excess funds to remain in the escrow account established pursuant to this Section. If Grantor fails to give Notice to Beneficiary of its intent with respect to the application of the excess funds as provided in this Section within sixty (60) days from the date Beneficiary mailed notice of the accumulation of the excess funds, Beneficiary shall promptly return the excess funds to Grantor. Within sixty (60) days after receipt from Grantor of a Notice requesting a refund, Beneficiary shall also return excess funds to Grantor.
     Section 4.6 Compliance with Laws.
     Grantor will comply with and not violate, and cause to be complied with and not violated, all present and future Laws applicable to the Property and its use and operation.
     Section 4.7 Maintenance and Repair of the Property.
     Grantor, at Grantor’s sole expense, will (a) keep and maintain the Improvements and the Equipment in good condition, working order and repair, and (b) make all necessary or appropriate repairs and Additions to the Improvements and Equipment, so that each part of the Improvements and all of the Equipment shall at all times be in good condition and fit and proper for the respective purposes for which they were originally intended, erected, or installed.
     Section 4.8 Additions to Security.
     All right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all Improvements and Additions hereafter constructed or placed on the Property and in and to any Equipment hereafter acquired shall, without any further deed of trust, conveyance, assignment or other act by Grantor, become subject to the Lien of this Deed of Trust as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by Grantor and specifically described in the granting clauses hereof. Grantor agrees, however, to execute and deliver to the Trustees and/or Beneficiary such further documents as may be required pursuant to Section 9.2 (Further Assurances).

18


 

     Section 4.9 Inspection.
     Upon reasonable advance notice thereof by Beneficiary, Grantor will permit Beneficiary, or any Person authorized by Beneficiary, to enter and make inspections of the Property at all reasonable times and as often as may be requested by Beneficiary.
     Section 4.10 Management.
     Grantor shall at all times provide for the competent and responsible management and operation of the Property. Each management contract affecting the Property must be approved in writing by Beneficiary prior to the execution of the same.
     Section 4.11 Books and Records.
     Grantor will keep and maintain full and accurate records and books administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, showing in detail the earnings and expenses of the Property and the operation thereof. Grantor shall permit Beneficiary, or any Person authorized by Beneficiary, to inspect and examine such records and books (regardless of where maintained) and all supporting vouchers and data and to make copies and extracts therefrom at all reasonable times and as often as may be requested by Beneficiary. In addition, Grantor will furnish or cause to be furnished to Beneficiary the financial information required under the Loan Agreement.
     Section 4.12 Estoppel Certificates.
     Within ten (10) days after any written request by Beneficiary or a proposed assignee or purchaser of the Loan, Grantor shall certify in writing to Beneficiary, or to such proposed assignee or purchaser, the then unpaid balance of the Loan and whether Grantor has any right of defense or setoff to the payment or performance of any of the Obligations.
     Section 4.13 Subrogation.
     To the extent permitted by Law, Beneficiary shall be subrogated, notwithstanding its release of record, to any Lien now or hereafter existing on the Property to the extent that such Lien is paid or discharged by Beneficiary whether or not from the proceeds of the Loan. This Section shall not be deemed or construed, however, to obligate Beneficiary to pay or discharge any Lien.
     Section 4.14 Leases.
               (a) Beneficiary shall approve any Material Lease executed after the date of this Deed of Trust as to form, content and financial strength of the tenant. At any time, within thirty (30) days after Notice from Beneficiary, Grantor will deliver to Beneficiary a written description in such reasonable detail as Beneficiary may request of all of the Leases, including, without limitation, the names of all tenants, the terms of all Leases and the Rents payable under all Leases. If any Material Lease provides for the giving by the tenant of certificates with respect to the status of such Lease, Grantor shall exercise its right to require such certificate within ten (10) days after any request by Beneficiary. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice from Beneficiary, Grantor will notify all tenants under existing Leases, and agrees to notify all tenants under future Leases, that (i) Grantor collects and receives

19


 

all Rents pursuant to the license granted to it hereunder, and (ii) upon Notice from Beneficiary that such license has been revoked, the tenants shall pay all unpaid Rent directly to Beneficiary.
               (b) So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Grantor shall have a license (which license shall terminate automatically and without Notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to collect upon, but not prior to accrual, the Rents under the Leases and, where applicable, subleases, such Rents to be held in trust for Beneficiary. Each month, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Grantor may retain such Rents and proceeds from Resident Agreements as were collected that month and held in trust for Beneficiary. Upon revocation of such license and following notification to the tenants under the Leases by Beneficiary or the Trustees that Rents are to be paid to Beneficiary, all Rents shall be paid directly to Beneficiary and not through Grantor. A demand by Beneficiary on any tenant for the payment of Rent shall be sufficient to warrant such tenant to make future payments of Rent to Beneficiary without the necessity of further consent by Grantor.
               (c) Grantor, at its sole cost and expense, will use its best efforts to enforce or secure, or cause to be enforced or secured, the performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the respective tenants under any Leases and will appear in and defend, at its sole cost and expense, any action or proceeding arising under, or in any manner connected with, such Leases.
               (d) Grantor will not assign the whole or any part of the Leases or Rents without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
               (e) Grantor will promptly perform all of its obligations under any Leases. Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, (i) cancel, terminate, accept a surrender of, reduce the payment of rent under any Material Leases, or accept any prepayment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance under, any Lease or Resident Agreements, (ii) modify, amend or substitute any Material Leases, or (iii) permit a Lien on the Property superior to any Lease, other than this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary acknowledges that the community fee paid in connection with a Resident Agreement is not a prepayment of rent.
               (f) If any Leases are subordinate (either by their date, their express terms, or by subsequent agreement of the tenant) to this Deed of Trust, such Leases shall be subject to the condition (and this Deed of Trust so authorizes) that, in the event of any sale of the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2 (Foreclosure), the Leases shall, at the sole option of Beneficiary or any purchaser at such sale, either (i) continue in full force and effect as set forth in the required advertisement of sale, and the tenant or tenants thereunder will, upon request, attorn to and acknowledge in writing the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales as landlord thereunder, or (ii) upon notice to such effect from Beneficiary, the Trustees or any purchaser or purchasers, terminate within ninety (90) days from the date of sale. As to any Lease, neither Beneficiary nor any purchaser or purchasers at foreclosure shall be bound by any payment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance or by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the prior written consent of Beneficiary or, subsequent to a foreclosure sale, such purchaser or purchasers.

20


 

               (g) Neither the Trustees nor Beneficiary shall be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of Grantor under any Lease. This assignment of the Leases in no manner places on Beneficiary or the Trustees any responsibility for (i) the control, care, management or repair of the Property, (ii) the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases, (iii) any waste committed on the Property, or (iv) any dangerous or defective condition on the Property (whether known or unknown). Grantor agrees to indemnify the Trustees and Beneficiary for, and forever hold them harmless from, any and all Claims arising out of, or in connection with, any Leases or any assignment thereof.
               (h) Unless otherwise agreed to by Beneficiary, each Lease shall (i) be at market rents, (ii) be subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust, (iii) contain attornment language requiring each tenant to attorn to any subsequent purchaser of the Property, (iv) not contain non-disturbance language entitling such tenant to remain at the Property after any sale of the Property except as specifically agreed to by Beneficiary in connection with specified Leases, and shall be in all respects acceptable to Beneficiary and its counsel. Approved Material Leases may not be amended, modified or terminated without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.
     Section 4.15 Contracts of Sale.
     Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor irrevocably authorizes Beneficiary, at its sole option, to collect, in the name of Grantor or in its own name as assignee, all payments due or to become due under any Contract of Sale. Grantor agrees that it will facilitate in every reasonable way the collection by Beneficiary of such payments, and will, upon written request by Beneficiary, execute a written notice and deliver the same to each purchaser directing the purchaser to make such payments to Beneficiary. In no event shall Beneficiary be accountable for more moneys than it actually receives pursuant to a Contract of Sale, nor shall Beneficiary be liable for any failure to collect payments under any Contract of Sale. The right to determine the method of collection and the extent to which the enforcement of collection shall be prosecuted is reserved to the sole discretion of Beneficiary. Grantor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, will not execute any assignment of any Contract of Sale or the payments due thereunder. Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary, within ten (10) days after a written request from Beneficiary, a written certification containing the names of all contract purchasers of the Property and shall attach to such certification a copy of any Contract of Sale. Nothing contained in this Section shall (a) be construed as a consent by Beneficiary to any Transfer of the Property, or (b) constitute a delegation to Beneficiary of any of Grantor’s duties or obligations under any Contract of Sale. Grantor agrees to indemnify Beneficiary and the Trustees for, and forever hold them harmless from, any Claim arising out of, or in connection with, any Contract of Sale.
     Section 4.16 Taxes.
     Grantor shall pay and discharge all Taxes prior to the date on which penalties are attached thereto unless and to the extent only that such Taxes are contested in accordance with Section 4.20 (Permitted Contests).

21


 

     Section 4.17 Hazardous Materials; Contamination.
          (a) The Grantor agrees to (i) give Notice to the Beneficiary immediately upon the Grantor’s acquiring knowledge of the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Property or of any Hazardous Materials Contamination or of any Claim made or threatened against the Grantor or the Property with respect to any Environmental Requirement with a full description thereof; (ii) at the Grantor’s sole cost and expense, promptly comply with any and all Environmental Requirements relating to the Property or such Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and provide the Beneficiary with satisfactory evidence of such compliance; (iii) provide the Beneficiary, within thirty (30) days after a demand by the Beneficiary, with a bond, letter of credit or similar financial assurance evidencing to the Beneficiary’s satisfaction that the necessary funds are available to pay the cost of complying with such Environmental Requirements and removing, treating and disposing of such Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and discharging any Lien which may be established on the Property as a result thereof; and (iv) take whatever other action as the Beneficiary may deem necessary or appropriate to restore to the Grantor the full use and benefit of the Property as contemplated by the Financing Documents.
          (b) The Grantor shall immediately upon the receipt of Notice from the Beneficiary, which may be given at any time and from time to time by the Beneficiary in its sole discretion (but not more frequently than once during any twelve (12) month period), cause an Environmental Assessment to be undertaken with respect to the Property and furnish the same to the Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after the date of the Beneficiary’s request. The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be borne exclusively by the Grantor. The Grantor shall cooperate with each environmental consulting firm engaged to make any such Environmental Assessment and shall supply to each such environmental consulting firm, from time to time and promptly on request, all information available to the Grantor to facilitate the completion of the Environmental Assessment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Beneficiary shall be under no duty to require the preparation of any Environmental Assessment of the Property, and in no event shall any such Environmental Assessment by the Beneficiary be or give rise to any representation or warranty by the Beneficiary that Hazardous Materials are or are not present on the Property, or that there has been compliance by the Grantor or any other Person with any Environmental Requirement.
          (c) The Grantor shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold the Beneficiary, the Trustees, any Persons owned or controlled by, owning or controlling, or under the common control of or affiliated with, the Beneficiary and/or the Trustees, any participants in the Loan, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Beneficiary, and/or such other Persons, and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing, harmless from and against any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with any investigative, enforcement, cleanup, removal, containment, remedial or other private, governmental or regulatory action at any time threatened, instituted or completed pursuant to any applicable Environmental Requirement against the Grantor or the Beneficiary or against or with respect to the Property or any condition, use or activity on the Property or at any time threatened or made by any Person against the Grantor or the Beneficiary or against or with respect to the Property or any condition, use or activity on the Property relating to any damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from or in any way arising in

22


 

connection with any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination. Upon demand by the Beneficiary, the Grantor shall diligently defend any such Claim which affects the Property or is made or commenced against the Beneficiary, whether alone or together with the Grantor or any other Person, all at the Grantor’s sole cost and expense and by counsel to be approved by the Beneficiary in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. In the alternative, the Beneficiary may at any time elect to conduct its own defense through counsel selected by the Beneficiary and at the cost and expense of the Grantor.
     Section 4.18 Right to Perform.
     If the Grantor fails to promptly pay or perform any of the Obligations, the Beneficiary, without Notice to or demand upon the Grantor, and without waiving or releasing any Obligation or Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of the Grantor. The Beneficiary may enter upon the Property for that purpose and take all action thereon as the Beneficiary considers necessary or appropriate. All Expenses incurred by the Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, shall be paid by the Grantor to the Beneficiary as provided in Section 4.19 (Reimbursement; Interest).
     Section 4.19 Reimbursement; Interest.
     If Beneficiary or the Trustees shall incur any Expenses or pay any Claims to which Beneficiary or the Trustees become a party by reason of this Deed of Trust or the rights and remedies provided hereunder (regardless of whether this Deed of Trust expressly provides for an indemnification against such Claims by Grantor), such Expenses and Claims shall be (a) paid by Grantor to Beneficiary on demand, together with interest thereon from the date incurred until paid in full by Grantor at the Reimbursement Rate and (b) a part of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in any action or proceeding to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to recover or collect the Obligations, the provisions of Law governing the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by this Section.

     Grantor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing this or any other documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require.

The Grantor hereby agrees to execute and deliver on demand, and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Beneficiary the attorney-in-fact of the Grantor, to execute, deliver and, if appropriate, to file with the appropriate filing office or offices, such financing statements or other instruments as the Beneficiary may request or require in order to perfect the security interest granted hereby or to continue the effectiveness of the same.

The basis of the appraisal calculations shown on such appraisal reports and all other aspects of the appraisal reports must be satisfactory to Beneficiary in all respects. A copy of such appraisal reports shall be released to Grantor.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

     Section 7.1 Acceleration.
     Beneficiary may declare (without Notice to Grantor and without presentment, demand, protest or notice of protest or of dishonor, all of which Grantor hereby waives) the Obligations to be immediately due and payable.
     Section 7.2 Foreclosure.
     The Trustees, personally or by their agent or attorneys, may sell the Property, or any part or parts thereof, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein, at public auction at such time and place and upon such terms and conditions as the Trustees may deem appropriate or as may be required or permitted by applicable law, after having first advertised the time, place and terms of sale in accordance with applicable law. In the event of any such sale, the Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the Property (or such portion thereof as may be offered for sale) and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the amount secured by this Deed of Trust as a credit to the purchase price. At any foreclosure sale, such portion of the Property as is offered for sale may, at the Beneficiary’s option, be offered for sale for one total price, and the proceeds of such sale accounted for in one account without distinction between the items of security or without assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, the Grantor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshalling. If less than all of the Property is sold at foreclosure and any of the

29


 

Obligations remain outstanding after the sale proceeds are applied thereto, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the Property remaining unsold, and the Beneficiary may at any time thereafter direct the Trustees to sell the same as provided above.
     Section 7.3 Application of Proceeds.
     In the event of a foreclosure sale of the Property, either judicially or by private power of sale, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, unless applicable statutes shall specify otherwise, first, to the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including attorneys’; and trustee’s fees, then to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges including utility charges advanced by the Beneficiary together with interest at the interest rate provide in the Note, this Deed of Trust or the Financing Documents, and finally the remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Grantor or as otherwise may be required by the provisions of applicable law.
     Section 7.4 No Reinstatement.
     Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, if a Default shall have occurred and the Beneficiary or the Trustees shall have commenced to exercise any of the remedies permitted hereunder, then a tender of payment by the Grantor or by anyone on behalf of the Grantor of the amount necessary to satisfy all sums due hereunder, or the acceptance by the Beneficiary of any such payment so tendered, shall not, without the prior consent of the Beneficiary, constitute a reinstatement of the Note or this Deed of Trust.
     Section 7.5 Taking Possession or Control of the Property.
     As a matter of right without regard to the adequacy of the security, and to the extent permitted by law without Notice to Grantor, Beneficiary shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Property or otherwise, and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver. In addition, to the extent permitted by Law, and with or without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, Beneficiary may (a) enter upon, and take possession of (and Grantor shall surrender actual possession of), the Property or any part thereof, without Notice to Grantor and without bringing any legal action or proceeding, or, if necessary by force, legal proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and (b) remove and exclude Grantor and its agents and employees therefrom.
     Section 7.6 Management of the Property.
     Upon obtaining possession of the Property or upon the appointment of a receiver as described in Section 7.5 (Taking Possession or Control), Beneficiary, the Trustees or the receiver, as the case may be, may, at their sole option, (a) make all necessary or proper repairs and Additions to or upon the Property, (b) operate, maintain, control, make secure and preserve the Property, (c) receive all Rents, and (d) complete the construction of any unfinished Improvements on the Property and, in connection therewith, continue any and all outstanding contracts for the erection and completion of such Improvements and make and enter into any further contracts which may be necessary, either in their or its own name (the cost of completing the Improvements shall be Expenses secured by this Deed of Trust and accrue interest as set forth in Section 4.19

30


 

(Reimbursement; Interest)). In so doing, Beneficiary, the Trustees or such receiver shall have the right to manage the Property and to carry on the business of Grantor and may exercise all of the rights and powers of Grantor, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to lease the Property, to cancel, modify, renew or extend any Lease or sub-lease of the Property and to carry on any contracts entered into by Grantor with respect to the Property. Beneficiary, the Trustees or such receiver shall be under no liability for, or by reason of, any such taking of possession, entry, holding, removal, maintaining, operation or management, except for willful misconduct. Any Rents received shall be applied (a) first, to pay all Expenses, and (b) the balance, if any, to payment of the other Obligations. Grantor shall pay on demand to Beneficiary, the receiver or the Trustees (as the case may be) the amount of any deficiency between (a) the Rents received by Beneficiary, the receiver or the Trustees, and (b) all Expenses incurred together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate as provided in Section 4.19 (Reimbursement; Interest). The exercise of the remedies provided in this Section shall not cure or waive any Event of Default, and the enforcement of such remedies, once commenced, shall continue for so long as Beneficiary shall elect, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of such remedies may have, for a time, cured the original Event of Default.
     Section 7.7 Uniform Commercial Code.
     Beneficiary may proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Personalty, and in conjunction therewith may exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code.

Any notification required by the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to a sale or other disposition of Personalty shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent in accordance with the Notice provision of this Deed of Trust at least ten (10) days before any such sale or disposition. Disposition of the Personalty shall be deemed commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale advertised at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the Property is located. Proceeds from any such sale shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to pay all Expenses incurred in connection with the sale, and (b) the balance, if any, to payment of the other Obligations.
     Section 7.8 Other Remedies.
     Beneficiary shall have the right from time to time to enforce any legal or equitable remedy against Grantor and to sue Grantor for any sums (whether interest, damages for failure to pay principal or any installments thereof, taxes, or any other sums required to be paid under the terms of this Deed of Trust, as the same become due), without regard to whether or not any other of the Obligations shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to enforce any appropriate remedy against Grantor, including, without limitation, an action of foreclosure or an action for specific performance for a Default by Grantor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
     Section 7.9 Remedies, etc. Cumulative.
     Each right, power and remedy of Beneficiary or the Trustees as provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Financing Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy

31


 

provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Financing Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Beneficiary or the Trustees of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Beneficiary or the Trustees of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.
     Section 7.10 No Waiver by Beneficiary etc.
     No course of dealing or conduct between Beneficiary, the Trustees and Grantor shall be effective to amend, modify or change any provisions of this Deed of Trust or the other Financing Documents. No failure or delay by Beneficiary or the Trustees to insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant or agreement of this Deed of Trust or of any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, covenant or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Beneficiary or the Trustees from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any of the Obligations, Beneficiary or the Trustees shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other Obligations, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to make prompt payment of any such other Obligations. Neither Grantor nor any other Person now or hereafter obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations shall be relieved of such liability by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply with any request of Grantor or of any other Person to take action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust, or (b) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of the Property and Beneficiary, or (c) Beneficiary extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents without first having obtained the consent of Grantor or such other Person. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien on the Property, Beneficiary may release any Person at any time liable for any of the Obligations or any part of the security for the Obligations, and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents without in any way impairing or affecting the Lien of this Deed of Trust or the priority of this Deed of Trust over any subordinate Lien. The holder of any subordinate Lien shall have no right to terminate any Lease regardless of whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may resort to the security or collateral described in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion.
     Section 7.11 Waivers and Agreements Regarding Remedies.
     To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor hereby:
               (a) agrees that it will not at any time plead, claim or take advantage of any Laws now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, extension and notice of election to accelerate the Obligations;
               (b) waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Grantor, including without limitation, the Property, or to a sale in the inverse order of alienation in the

32


 

event of a foreclosure of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any Law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Property without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever;
               (c) waives any right to bring or utilize any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one which denies the existence or sufficiency of the facts upon which any foreclosure action is grounded. If any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one permitted by the preceding clause, is timely raised in a foreclosure action, such defense, counterclaim or setoff shall be dismissed. If such defense, counterclaim or setoff is based on a Claim which could be tried in an action for money damages, such Claim may be brought in a separate action which shall not thereafter be consolidated with the foreclosure action. The bringing of such separate action for money damages shall not be deemed to afford any grounds for staying the foreclosure action;
               (d) waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which Grantor may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of any Laws pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties; and
               (e) any requirement that the Beneficiary or the Trustees present evidence or otherwise proceed before any court, clerk or other judicial or quasi-judicial body before exercising the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust.
     Section 7.12 Setoff.
     Beneficiary may set off against and apply any funds of Grantor on deposit with, or under the control of, Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations, without Notice and without resort to any judicial proceeding.

The Trustees shall not be liable for any error of judgment, nor for any act done or step taken or omitted, nor for any mistakes of law or fact, nor for anything which the Trustees may do or refrain from doing in good faith, nor generally shall either of the Trustees have any accountability hereunder except for willful misconduct and/or gross negligence. The powers and duties of the Trustees hereunder may be exercised through such attorneys, agents or servants as they may appoint, and the Trustees shall have no liability or responsibility for any act, failure to act,

33


 

negligence or willful conduct of such attorney, agent or servant, so long as they were selected with reasonable care.

The power of appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees may be exercised as often as and whenever Beneficiary may choose, and the exercise of the power of appointment, no matter how often, shall not be an exhaustion thereof.

All title, estate, rights, powers, trusts and duties hereunder given or appertaining to or devolving upon the Trustees shall be in each of the Trustees so that any action hereunder or purporting to be hereunder of any one of the original or any successor Trustees shall for all purposes be considered to be, and as effective as, the action of all the Trustees.

ARTICLE X
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, at any time thereafter exercise any one or more of the following rights, powers or remedies.
     Section 10.1 Acceleration.
     Lender may declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents to the contrary, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or of dishonor, or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby waives.
     Section 10.2 Uniform Commercial Code.
     Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws. Upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender, at a place designated by Lender. Lender or its agents may without notice from time to time enter upon Borrower’s premises to take possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, to process it or otherwise prepare it for sale, or to sell or otherwise dispose of it.
     Any written notice of the sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral which is sent by regular mail, postage prepaid, to Borrower at the address set

37


 

forth in Section 11.1 (Notices), or such other address of Borrower which may from time to time be shown on Lender’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale, disposition or other action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. Lender may alternatively or additionally give such notice in any other commercially reasonable manner. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Lender to give any notice not required by applicable Laws.
     If any consent, approval, or authorization of any state, municipal or other Governmental Authority or of any other Person or of any Person having any interest therein, should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, Borrower agrees to execute all such applications and other instruments, and to take all other action, as may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization.
     Borrower recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable Federal and state Laws. Lender may, therefore, in its discretion, take such steps as it may deem appropriate to comply with such Laws and may, for example, at any sale of the Collateral consisting of securities restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction of Lender that they are purchasing such securities for their account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any thereof. Borrower covenants and agrees to do or cause to be done promptly all such acts and things as Lender may request from time to time and as may be necessary to offer and/or sell the securities or any part thereof in a manner which is valid and binding and in conformance with all applicable Laws. Upon any such sale or disposition, Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral consisting of securities so sold.
     Section 10.3 Specific Rights With Regard to Collateral.
     In addition to all other rights and remedies provided hereunder or as shall exist at law or in equity from time to time, Lender may (but shall be under no obligation to), without notice to Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, in the name of Lender and/or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Lender, but at the cost and expense of Borrower and without notice to Borrower:
          (a) assign any and all Operating Agreements and Management Contracts to any Person designated by Lender, and/or exercise all rights and privileges of Borrower under such contracts and agreements for the purpose of realizing on the Collateral and to the extent and for the time required to realize the value of the Collateral;
          (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, assume such management, operation and control of the Property to the extent and for the time necessary to realize the value of the Collateral;
          (c) cause Borrower to engage, contract with, and/or hire qualified service, billing, collection and other such agents, organizations and

38


 

          companies acceptable to Lender to collect and/or realize upon any or all of the Collateral and to remit the proceeds to Lender;
          (d) subject to applicable state and federal laws pertaining to resident confidentiality, request any Account Debtor obligated on any of the Accounts to make payments thereon directly to Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with Lender taking control of the cash and non-cash proceeds thereof and/or direct Borrower to (and Borrower shall) turn over to Lender immediately following receipt all payments with respect to the Collateral in the form received (with the addition of all necessary endorsements) and not to deposit, negotiate or otherwise deal with those payments;
          (e) compromise, extend or renew any of the Collateral or deal with the same as it may deem advisable;
          (f) make exchanges, substitutions or surrenders of all or any part of the Collateral;
          (g) remove from Borrower’s places of business all books, records, ledger sheets, correspondence, invoices and documents, relating to or evidencing any of the Collateral or without cost or expense to Lender, make such use of Borrower’s place of business as may be reasonably necessary to administer, control and collect the Collateral;
          (h) demand, collect, receipt for and give renewals, extensions, discharges and releases of any of the Collateral;
          (i) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral;
          (j) settle, renew, extend, compromise, compound, exchange or adjust claims in respect of any of the Collateral or any legal proceedings brought in respect thereof;
          (k) endorse the name of Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or on any Proof of Claim in Bankruptcy against an Account Debtor; and
          (l) notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to Borrower to such address or Post Office Box as Lender may designate and receive and open all mail addressed to Borrower.
     In addition, Borrower shall, following an Event of Default which remains uncured beyond any applicable grace period, promptly, upon request, execute and deliver to Lender written assignments, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in form and content acceptable to Lender, of specific Accounts or groups of Accounts; provided, however, that the lien and/or security interest granted to Lender under this Agreement shall not be limited in any way to or by the inclusion or exclusion of Accounts within such assignments. Such Accounts shall secure

39


 

payment of the Obligations and are not sold to Lender whether or not any assignment thereof, which is separate from this Agreement, is in form absolute.
     Without limiting Lender’s other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, following Borrower’s failure to make any payment due under the Loan Documents, which failure continues for more than sixty (60) days or the occurrence of any event which causes the District of Columbia to require the Facility to close or to cease operations as an assisted living facility, Lender may also direct Borrower to appoint a manager for the Facility and enter into a management agreement with a management company approved by Lender, the terms of which agreement shall be approved by Lender.
     Section 10.4 Application of Proceeds.
     Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by Lender to the payment first of any and all Enforcement Costs, and any balance of such proceeds will be applied in such order and manner as Lender shall determine. If the sale or other disposition of the Collateral fails to fully satisfy the Obligations, Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency.
     Section 10.5 Performance by Lender.
     Lender without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any Default or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower, and may enter upon the premises of Borrower for that purpose and take all such action thereon as Lender may consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to do so, with power of substitution, in the name of Lender, or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Lender, but at the cost and expense of Borrower and without notice to Borrower. All sums so paid or advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date of payment, advance or incurring until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate and all costs and expenses, shall be deemed part of the Enforcement Costs, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on demand, and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations.
     Section 10.6 Other Remedies.
     Lender may from time to time proceed to protect or enforce the rights of Lender by an action or actions at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents, or for an injunction against the violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, or in aid of the exercise or execution of any right, remedy or power granted in this Agreement, the Financing Documents, and/or applicable Laws. Lender is authorized to offset and apply to all or any part of the Obligations all moneys, credits and other property of any nature whatsoever of Borrower now or at any time hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or from, under the control or custody of, or on deposit with Lender or any Affiliate of Lender.

40


 

     Section 10.7 Receiver or Other Court Order.
     Following an uncured Event of Default, as a matter of right, following ten (10) days notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security, and upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, Lender shall be entitled to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Collateral, and of the payments and proceeds thereof and therefrom, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and to an order of court directing that payments, including Medicare and Medicaid payments, be made directly to the receiver. Borrower will pay to Lender, upon demand, all expenses, including reasonable receiver’s fees, reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and agents compensation, advanced by Borrower and incurred pursuant to the provisions contained in this Section.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by Lender. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender and no act or failure to act from time to time on the part of Lender shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents or any right or remedy under this Agreement, under any of the other Financing Documents or under applicable Laws. Without implying any limitation on the foregoing:
          (a) Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the terms and purpose for which given, subject to such conditions as Lender may specify in any such instrument.

          (d) No failure or delay by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any such term, condition, covenant or agreement or of any such breach or preclude Lender from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any time or times.
          (e) By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount.

42


 

     Section 11.3 Cumulative Remedies.
     The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the other Financing Documents are cumulative, may be exercised concurrently or separately, may be exercised from time to time and in such order as Lender shall determine, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers and remedies provided by existing or future applicable Laws. In order to entitle Lender to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be expressly required in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lender may:
          (a) proceed against Borrower with or without proceeding against any other Person (including, without limitation, any one or more of the Guarantors) who may be liable (by endorsement, guaranty, indemnity or otherwise) for all or any part of the Obligations;
          (b) proceed against Borrower with or without proceeding under any of the other Financing Documents or against any Collateral or other collateral and security for all or any part of the Obligations;

          (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto and shall not be affected or impaired thereby;
          (b) the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity;

          (d) if the affected provision or part thereof does not pertain to repayment of the Obligations, but operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such provision or part thereof only shall be void, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
     Section 11.5 Assignments by Lender.
     Lender may, without notice to or consent of Borrower, assign to any Person (each an “Assignee” and collectively, the “Assignees”) all or a portion of Lender’s Commitment; provided that, unless Lender has assigned all of its Commitment, after giving effect to such assignment, Lender must continue to hold a Pro Rata Share of the Commitment at least equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Lender and its Assignee shall notify Borrower in writing of the date on which the assignment is to be effective (the “Adjustment Date”). On or before the Adjustment Date, Lender, Borrower and the respective Assignee shall execute and deliver a written assignment agreement in a form acceptable to Lender, which shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect such assignment.

44

               11.11.1 Applicable Law.
               Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Financing Documents, including, this Agreement, shall be governed by the Laws of the State, as if each of the Financing Documents and this Agreement had each been executed, delivered, administered and performed solely within the State even though for the convenience and at the request of Borrower, one or more of the Financing Documents may be executed elsewhere.

Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which Borrower is subject to jurisdiction, by a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon Borrower in one of the manners specified in this Section or as otherwise permitted by applicable Laws.

FORM OF NOTE

DEED OF TRUST NOTE B
     
$                                           McLean, Virginia
     
                                            ,                     
     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SUNRISE CONNECTICUT AVENUE ASSISTED LIVING, L.L.C., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of C                    , a                    , its successors and assigns (the “Lender”), the principal sum of                      ($                     ) (the “Principal Sum”), together with interest thereon at the rate hereinafter provided, in accordance with the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the following:
     1. Interest.
     Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating rate based on an independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates for one-month dollar deposits in the London Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 225 basis points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”) which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements imposed upon the Lender from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each month. All interest payable under the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The LIBOR Rate shall be in effect for a period of the number of days indicated (each a “LIBOR Period”), in any case extended to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith) when necessary, beginning on the date hereof or the expiration date of the then-current LIBOR Period.
     2. Payments and Maturity.
     The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate provided above, shall be payable as follows:
          (a) Interest only commencing on                      ,                      and continuing on the same day of each and every month thereafter, to and including                     ,                     ;
          (b) Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on August 29, 2009.

52


 

     3. Default Interest.
     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest thereafter until such Event of Default is cured at the Post Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
     4. Late Charges.
     In the event that any payment due under the terms of this Note is not received by the Lender within fifteen (15) days of the date such payment is due (inclusive of the date when due), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment.
     5. Application and Place of Payments.
     All payments made on account of this Note, including prepayments, shall be applied first to the payment of any prepayment fee due hereunder, second to any late charge then due hereunder, third to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Sum, with application first made to all principal installments then due hereunder, next to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity and thereafter to the unpaid principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. All payments on account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds during regular business hours of the Lender at its principal office in Chevy Chase, Maryland or at such other times and places as the Lender may at any time and from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower.
     6. Prepayment.
          (a) The Borrower may prepay the Principal Sum in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Lender, without premium or penalty.
          (b) Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note in whole or in part subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be deemed to be a prepayment of the Principal Sum subject to any prepayment fee due hereunder.
     7. Other Financing Documents.
     The term “Financing Documents” as used in this Note shall mean collectively this Note, the Deed of Trust (as hereinafter defined) and any other instrument, agreement, or document previously, simultaneously, or hereafter executed and delivered by the Borrower and/or any other person, singularly or jointly with any other person, evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or in connection with this Note or the Principal Sum evidenced hereby.
     8. Security.
     This Note is secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (Loan B) of even date herewith from the Borrower to Alexandra

53


 

Johns and Ellen-Elizabeth Lee, trustees (the “Deed of Trust”), covering the Borrower’s fee simple interest in certain real property located in the District of Columbia, described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof and all other property, real and personal, more particularly described in the Deed of Trust (the “Property”).
     9. Events of Default.
     The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default (individually, an “Event of Default” and collectively, the “Events of Default”) under the terms of this Note:
          (a) The failure of the Borrower to pay to the Lender when due any and all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under the terms of this Note; or
          (b) The occurrence of a default or an event of default under the terms and conditions of any of the other Financing Documents, which default or event of default remains uncured beyond any applicable grace and/or cure period provided therefor.
     10. Remedies.
     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of the Lender, all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under the terms of this Note shall immediately become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender without notice to the Borrower or any other person, and the Lender shall have all of the rights, powers, and remedies available under the terms of this Note, any of the other Financing Documents and all applicable laws. The Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors, and other parties who may now or in the future be primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note hereby severally waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of this Note and expressly agree that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrower, guarantors and endorsers.
     11. Consent to Jurisdiction.
     The Borrower irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which the Borrower is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon the Borrower as provided in this Note or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

54


 

     12. Service of Process.
          (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints CT Corporation, 4701 Cox Road, Suite 301, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060, as the Borrower’s authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on the Borrower’s behalf service of any and all process that may be served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with this Note in any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia. If such agent shall cease so to act, the Borrower shall irrevocably designate and appoint without delay another such agent in the Commonwealth of Virginia satisfactory to the Lender and shall promptly deliver to the Lender evidence in writing of such agent’s acceptance of such appointment and its agreement that such appointment shall be irrevocable.
          (b) The Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with this Note by (i) the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower and (ii) serving a copy thereof upon the agent, if any, hereinabove designated and appointed by the Borrower as the Borrower’s agent for service of process. The Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service shall be deemed to be service of process upon the Borrower in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Nothing in this Note shall affect the right of the Lender to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law and nothing in this Note will limit the right of the Lender otherwise to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
     13. Expenses.
     The Borrower promises to pay to the Lender on demand by the Lender all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Note, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all court costs.
     14. Notices.
     Any notice, request, or demand to or upon the Borrower or the Lender shall be deemed to have been properly given or made when delivered in accordance with Section 9.3 of the Deed of Trust.
     15. Miscellaneous.
     Each right, power, and remedy of the Lender as provided for in this Note or any of the other Financing Documents, or now or hereafter existing under any applicable law or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Note or any of the other Financing Documents or now or hereafter existing under any applicable law, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Lender of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Lender of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. No failure or delay by the Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Note or any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at a later time or times. By accepting payment after the due

date of any amount payable under the terms of this Note, the Lender shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under the terms of this Note or to declare an Event of Default for the failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount. No course of dealing or conduct shall be effective to amend, modify, waive, release, or change any provisions of this Note.
     16. Partial Invalidity.
     In the event any provision of this Note (or any part of any provision) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision) of this Note; but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had not been contained in this Note, but only to the extent it is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.
     17. Captions.
     The captions herein set forth are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Note.

Exhibit 10.10
GUARANTY OF PAYMENT
(Loan B)
          THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 28, 2007, by SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Guarantor”) in favor of CHEVY CHASE BANK, F.S.B., a federal savings bank, its successors and assigns, “Lender”).
          IN ORDER to induce Lender to make a loan in the principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Loan”) to Sunrise Connecticut Avenue Assisted Living, L.L.C., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (“Borrower”) and in connection therewith to accept a Deed of Trust Note (as amended, extended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note”) and a Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (Loan B) (as amended, extended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Deed of Trust”), of even date herewith, made by Borrower in the principal sum of $10,000,000, which Loan is to be advanced pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Agreement (Loan B) of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender (as amended, extended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
          1. Guaranty.
          Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender: (a) the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectibility) of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon, in each case when due and payable, whether on any installment payment date or at the stated or accelerated maturity, all according to the terms of the Note and the Deed of Trust; and (b) the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectibility) of all other sums and charges which may at any time be due and payable in accordance with, or secured by, the Note, the Deed of Trust or any other document evidencing or securing the Loan (together with the Note and the Deed of Trust, the “Financing Documents”); and (c) the due and punctual performance of all of the other terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Note and the other Financing Documents, on the part of Borrower or any subsequent owner of the property more particularly described in the Deed of Trust (the “Property”) to be performed.
          2. Guaranty Unconditional.
          Guarantor expressly agrees that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or further assent of Guarantor, except as specifically set forth herein, and without in any way releasing, affecting or impairing the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder: (a) waive compliance with, or any defaults under, or grant any other indulgences with respect to, the Financing Documents; (b) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, modify, amend, change or terminate any provisions of the Financing Documents; (c) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, grant extensions or renewals of or with respect to the Note or the other Financing Documents; (d) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, effect any release, subordination, compromise or settlement in connection with the Note and the other Financing Documents; (e) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, agree to the substitution, exchange, release or other

 


 

disposition of all or any part of the Property, or any other collateral for the Loan; (f) make advances for the purpose of performing any term or covenant contained in any of the Financing Documents with respect to which Borrower or the then owner of the Property shall be in default; (g) with Guarantor’s prior written consent, assign or otherwise transfer the Financing Documents or this Agreement or any interest therein or herein; and (h) deal in all respects with Borrower or the then owner of the Property as if this Agreement were not in effect. The obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement shall be unconditional, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note or the Deed of Trust, or any security given therefor or in connection therewith, or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.
          3. Guaranty Primary.
          The obligations and liability of Guarantor under this Agreement shall be primary, direct and immediate; shall not be conditional or contingent upon pursuit by Lender of any remedies it may have against Borrower with respect to the Financing Documents, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or by law; and shall not be subject to any counterclaim, recoupment, set-off, reduction or defense based upon any claim that Guarantor may have against Borrower or Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall not be required to make any demand on Borrower and/or the then owner of the Property, or to sell at foreclosure or otherwise pursue or exhaust its remedies against the Property or any part thereof and/or against Borrower or the then owner of the Property, before, simultaneously with or after enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor. Any one or more successive and/or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Guarantor either in the same action, if any, brought against Borrower and/or the then owner of the Property or in separate actions, as often as Lender may deem advisable.
          4. Waivers by Guarantor.
          Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives: (a) presentment and demand for payment of the principal of or interest on the Note and protest of non-payment; (b) notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of presentment, demand and protest; (c) except as set forth below, notice of any default under this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents and notice of all indulgences; (d) except as set forth below, demand for observance, performance, or enforcement of any terms or provisions of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents; (e) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Borrower; and (f) all other notices and demands otherwise required by law which Guarantor may lawfully waive.
          5. Reimbursement for Expenses.
          If Lender shall commence any action or proceeding for the enforcement of this Agreement, Guarantor shall reimburse Lender promptly upon demand, for all expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
          6. Acceleration.
          Anything in this Agreement or in any of the Financing Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender, at its option, may, as to Guarantor, accelerate the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Financing Documents in the event of: (a) the making by Guarantor

2


 

of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) the appointment of a custodian for Guarantor, or for any property of Guarantor; (c) the commencement of any proceeding by Guarantor under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership or like law or statute; or (d) the commencement of any proceeding against Guarantor under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership or like law or statute which is not discharged or dismissed within ninety (90) days after institution thereof; or (e) a Change of Control (as defined in the current Sunrise Senior Financing Agreement of Guarantor); or (f) the termination, dissolution or, liquidation of Guarantor, without the prior written consent of Lender.
          7. Subordination; Subrogation.
          If Guarantor shall advance any sums to Borrower or if Borrower shall hereafter become indebted to Guarantor, such sums and indebtedness shall be subordinate in all respects to the amounts then or thereafter due and owing to Lender under the Financing Documents. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in and to the Note or the Deed of Trust or all or any part of Lender’ interest therein, until all amounts owing to Lender shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding any provision of this Paragraph to the contrary, if Guarantor is or becomes an “insider” (as defined from time to time in Section 101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) with respect to Borrower, then Guarantor irrevocably and absolutely waives any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights against Borrower with respect to this Agreement, whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Guarantor shall not be deemed to be a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower by reason of the existence of this Agreement in the event that Borrower becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
          8. Representations and Warranties.
          Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
               (a) Good Standing. Guarantor (a) is a corporation duly organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power to own its property and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and (c) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned by it therein or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary.
               (b) Power and Authority. Guarantor has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which it is a party and to incur and perform the Obligations (as defined in the Deed of Trust) whether under this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or otherwise, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action. No consent or approval of shareholders or any creditors of Guarantor, and no consent, approval, filing or registration with or notice to any Governmental Authority on the part of Guarantor, is required as a condition to the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the performance by Guarantor of the Obligations.

3


 

               (c) Binding Agreements.

DEED OF TRUST NOTE B

    August 28, 2007
     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SUNRISE CONNECTICUT AVENUE ASSISTED LIVING, L.L.C., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of CHEVY CHASE BANK, F.S.B., a federally chartered savings bank its successors and assigns (the “Lender”), the principal sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) (the “Principal Sum”), together with interest thereon at the rate hereinafter provided, in accordance with the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the following:
     1. Interest.
     Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating rate based on an independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates for one-month dollar deposits in the London Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 225 basis points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”) which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements imposed upon the Lender from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each month. All interest payable under the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The LIBOR Rate shall be in effect for a period of the number of days indicated (each a “LIBOR Period”), in any case extended to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith) when necessary, beginning on the date hereof or the expiration date of the then-current LIBOR Period.
     2 . Payments and Maturity.
     The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate provided above, shall be payable as follows:
          (a) Interest only commencing on October 1, 2007 and continuing on the same day of each and every month thereafter, to and including August 1, 2009;
          (b) Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on August 28, 2009.
     3. Default Interest.
     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest thereafter until such Event of Default is cured at the Post Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

 


 

     4. Late Charges.
     In the event that any payment due under the terms of this Note is not received by the Lender within fifteen (15) days of the date such payment is due (inclusive of the date when due), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment.
     5. Application and Place of Payments.
     All payments made on account of this Note, including prepayments, shall be applied first to the payment of any prepayment fee due hereunder, second to any late charge then due hereunder, third to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Sum, with application first made to all principal installments then due hereunder, next to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity and thereafter to the unpaid principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. All payments on account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds during regular business hours of the Lender at its principal office in Chevy Chase, Maryland or at such other times and places as the Lender may at any time and from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower.
     6. Prepayment.
          (a) The Borrower may prepay the Principal Sum in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Lender, without premium or penalty.
          (b) Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note in whole or in part subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be deemed to be a prepayment of the Principal Sum subject to any prepayment fee due hereunder.
     7. Other Financing Documents.
     The term “Financing Documents” as used in this Note shall mean collectively this Note, the Deed of Trust (as hereinafter defined) and any other instrument, agreement, or document previously, simultaneously, or hereafter executed and delivered by the Borrower and/or any other person, singularly or jointly with any other person, evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or in connection with this Note or the Principal Sum evidenced hereby.
     8. Security.
     This Note is secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (Loan B) of even date herewith from the Borrower to Alexandra Johns and Ellen-Elizabeth Lee, trustees (the “Deed of Trust”), covering the Borrower’s fee simple interest in certain real property located in the District of Columbia, described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof and all other property, real and personal, more particularly described in the Deed of Trust (the “Property”).

Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which the Borrower is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon the Borrower as provided in this Note or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

11


 

construct, occupy, operate, use or conduct any activity on, the Property by reason of any Environmental Requirement. Grantor has received no notice, and is not aware, of any Claim involving a violation of any Environmental Requirement with respect to the Property or any parcel in the vicinity of the Real Property or any operation conducted on the Property or on any parcel in the vicinity of the Real Property. There is no Environmental Requirement which requires any work, repair, construction, capital expenditure, or other remedial work of any nature whatsoever to be undertaken with respect to the Property.
     Section 3.14 Financial Statements.
     The financial statements heretofore delivered by Grantor and any other party or parties to Beneficiary are true and correct in all respects, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and fairly present the respective financial conditions of the subjects thereof as of the respective dates thereof. No material adverse change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein since the respective dates thereof and no material additional liabilities have been incurred by Grantor or any such other party or parties since the date thereof other than the borrowings contemplated herein or as approved in writing by Beneficiary.
ARTICLE IV
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
     Section 4.1 Obligations.
     Grantor agrees to promptly pay and/or perform all of the Obligations, time being of the essence in each case.
     Section 4.2 Insurance.
     Grantor shall maintain the following insurance at its sole cost and expense:
               (a) Insurance against Casualty to the Property under a policy or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism, malicious mischief and acts of terrorism. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Beneficiary, such insurance shall be for the full replacement cost of the Property. The deductible amount under such policy or policies shall not exceed $25,000. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this Section by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full replacement cost” means the actual replacement cost of the Property (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items). The “full replacement cost” shall be determined from time to time at the request of Beneficiary (but not more frequently than once every three (3) years) by a third party appraiser or appraisal company or one of the insurers, who shall be selected and paid for by Grantor but subject to Beneficiary’s approval. A combination of primary and umbrella policies can be used to satisfy the limit requirements.

12


 

               (b) Comprehensive general public liability insurance for bodily injuries to Persons and damage to property, in limits of not less than $2,000,000 for any one occurrence and $5,000,000 for the aggregate of all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance shall name Beneficiary as an additional insured.
               (c) Workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of Grantor in such amount as is required by Law.
               (d) During any period of construction upon the Property, Grantor shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, builder’s risk insurance (non-reporting form) of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for the full replacement cost of work in place and materials stored at or upon the Property.
               (e) If at any time the Property is in an area that has been identified as having special flood and mudslide hazards, and flood insurance is available in such area, Grantor shall purchase and maintain a flood insurance policy in form and amount acceptable to Beneficiary. In the event that the Property is not in an area having special flood and mudslide hazards, Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary upon request evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary stating that the Property is not in such a flood or mudslide hazard area.
               (f) Business interruption insurance in an amount acceptable to Beneficiary.
               (g) Grantor will obtain and keep in force such other and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Beneficiary in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Beneficiary in similar transactions.
               (h) To the extent that health care professionals are employed by Manager, medical liability, malpractice and other health care professional liability insurance protecting Manager, as the case may be, against claims arising from the professional services performed by Manager, as the case may be, with limits of (A) not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to bodily injury or death for each person or occurrence, and (B) not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the aggregate for claims made for injury or death in any one year, and an umbrella policy insuring against such liability in an aggregate amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).
               (i) Each policy of insurance shall (i) be issued by one or more recognized, financially sound and responsible insurance companies, (ii) with respect to the insurance described under the preceding subsections (a), (d), (e) and (f), have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clauses in favor of and entitling Beneficiary without contribution to collect any and all proceeds payable under such insurance, (iii) provide that such policy shall not be canceled or modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Beneficiary, and (iv) provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Grantor which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment. Unless an escrow account has been established for insurance premiums pursuant to Section 4.5 (Property Assessments; Escrow), Grantor shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than thirty (30)

13


 

days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Grantor will deliver to Beneficiary evidence of payment satisfactory to Beneficiary. Grantor will within five (5) days give Beneficiary Notice of any cancellation of, or change in, any insurance policy. Beneficiary shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (i) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (ii) the solvency of any insurer, or (iii) the payment of losses.
     Section 4.3 Adjustment of Condemnation and Insurance Claims.
     Grantor shall give prompt Notice to Beneficiary of any Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened written Condemnation. Beneficiary is authorized, at its sole option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or Grantor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation or Casualty, and to settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith. In such case, Beneficiary may also deduct from any payment all of its Expenses. Beneficiary agrees, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it will not settle or compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent of Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Beneficiary elects not to adjust a Claim, Grantor agrees to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of the Claim subject to Beneficiary’s approval that will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Beneficiary of any Condemnation Award or insurance proceeds, the Property shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2 (Foreclosure), Beneficiary shall have the right to receive such funds to the extent of (a) any deficiency found to be due upon such sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Deed of Trust shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) necessary to reimburse Beneficiary for its Expenses. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Beneficiary, such further instruments or documents as may be requested by Beneficiary to confirm the grant and assignment to Beneficiary of any Condemnation Awards or insurance proceeds.
     Section 4.4 Application of Net Proceeds.
     Net Proceeds must be applied to either (a) the payment of the Obligations, or (b) the restoration of the Property. If either an Event of Default has occurred or the cost to repair or restore the Property exceeds $3,000,000, Beneficiary shall determine, in its sole discretion, the manner in which Net Proceeds are to be applied. If no Event of Default has occurred and the cost to repair or restore the Property is $3,000,000 or less, Grantor shall determine the manner in which Net Proceeds are to be applied. In the event that, and to the extent that, Net Proceeds are to be applied to the restoration of the Property, each of the following conditions must also be met and complied with if and to the extent required by Beneficiary:
               (a) An escrow account shall have been established with Beneficiary composed of Net Proceeds, and, if necessary, additional deposits made by Grantor, which, in the sole judgment of Beneficiary, is sufficient to restore the Property to its use, value and condition immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation. Beneficiary shall be entitled, at the expense of Grantor, to consult such professionals as Beneficiary may deem necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the total costs of restoring the Property. Interest will be paid on funds in the escrow account. Grantor hereby assigns to, and grants Beneficiary a security interest in, such escrow account and the funds therein to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations.

14


 

               (b) Either:
               (i) All Material Leases must continue in full force and effect (subject to rent abatement during restoration as may be provided in the Material Leases) or, if terminated, the terminated Material Leases must have been replaced with Material Leases of equal quality in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary. Any tenant having the right to terminate its Material Lease due to the Casualty or Condemnation, and which has not exercised that right, shall have confirmed in writing to Beneficiary its irrevocable waiver of such termination right, or
               (ii) Proceeds from business interruption insurance must be available to Grantor in such amounts as Beneficiary, in its reasonable judgment, considers sufficient to pay the amortization under the Loan, and all Property Assessments, insurance premiums and other sums becoming due from Grantor pursuant to this Deed of Trust during the time required for restoration.
               (c) All restoration will be conducted under the supervision of an architect or engineer, or both, selected and paid for by Grantor and approved in advance by Beneficiary, and by a general contractor who shall be approved by Beneficiary and shall have executed a fixed price contract.
               (d) The restoration will be performed pursuant to the original plans and specifications approved by Beneficiary.
               (e) If required by Beneficiary at its sole option, the contractor or contractors responsible for the restoration shall have obtained payment and performance bonds from a corporate surety acceptable to Beneficiary and naming Beneficiary as dual obligee.
               (f) Grantor shall have provided Beneficiary with reasonably satisfactory evidence that there has been no adverse change in the economic viability of the Property since the date of this Deed of Trust, such evidence to include, among other things, an appraisal and market study prepared by a firm or firms acceptable to Beneficiary, but at Grantor’s expense.
If any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, apply Net Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations.
     If applied to restoration, Net Proceeds (and any other funds required to be deposited with Beneficiary) shall be disbursed from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the construction loan agreement most commonly used by Beneficiary or other regionally recognized construction lenders, at the time of the Casualty or Condemnation for major commercial construction loans, and subject also to the following conditions (which shall control in the event of any conflict with the provisions of such construction loan agreement):
               (a) Restoration shall commence within sixty (60) days following receipt of the Net Proceeds by Beneficiary or such additional time as may be required by Grantor

15


 

in obtaining the necessary licenses, permits or approvals from the applicable Governmental Authorities provided Grantor has and continues to diligently pursue obtaining the necessary licenses, permits and approvals, and shall be completed within such time as may be determined by Beneficiary in view of the extent of the Casualty or Condemnation but, in any event, shall be completed within a reasonable period after the date the Net Proceeds are received.
               (b) At the time of each disbursement,
               (i) (1) no Leases (if any) shall have been terminated which either singularly or in the aggregate affect more than ten percent (10%) of the leasable area of the Property unless the same have been replaced with Leases of equal quality, in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, and (2) no Default shall have occurred, or
               (ii) Proceeds from business interruption insurance or other moneys of Grantor must be available to Grantor in such amounts as Beneficiary, in its reasonable judgment, considers sufficient to pay the amortization under the Loan and all Property Assessments, insurance premiums and other sums becoming due from Grantor pursuant to this Deed of Trust during the time required for restoration.
               (c) Restoration shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.4 (Additional Improvements).
               (d) With respect to each disbursement and accompanying each request therefor, there shall be delivered to Beneficiary (i) a certificate addressed to Beneficiary from the architect or engineer supervising the restoration stating that such disbursement is to pay the cost of restoration not paid previously by any prior disbursement, that all restoration completed to the date of such certificate has been completed in accordance with applicable Laws and the approved plans and specifications, and that the amount of such disbursement, together with all other disbursements, does not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the requisition for direct construction costs until such time as fifty percent (50%) of the restoration has been completed, then such disbursements shall not exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of the requisition for direct construction costs, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary that all Claims then existing for labor, services and materials have been paid in full or will be paid in full from the proceeds of the disbursement requested.
               (e) The final holdback shall be disbursed only upon delivery to Beneficiary, in addition to the items required in paragraph (d) above, of the following:
                    (i) Final waivers of Liens from all contractors and subcontractors.
               (ii) A certificate of the architect or engineer stating that the restoration has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the plans and specification approved by Beneficiary and in accordance with all applicable Laws.

16


 

               (iii) An estoppel affidavit from each tenant occupying or leasing space under a Material Lease in the Property stating that its Lease is in full force and effect.
               (f) Immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may apply Net Proceeds and any other sums deposited with Beneficiary to the repayment of the Obligations.
     Section 4.5 Property Assessments; Escrow.
               (a) Unless an escrow account for payment of Property Assessments is created pursuant to subsection (c) below, Grantor will (i) promptly pay in full and discharge all Property Assessments, and (ii) exhibit to Beneficiary, upon demand, the receipted bills for such Property Assessments prior to the day upon which the same shall become delinquent. Property Assessments shall be considered delinquent as of the first day any interest or penalties commence to accrue thereon.
               (b) In the event of the passage of any Law subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust in any manner changing or modifying the Laws now in force governing the taxation of deeds of trust or debts secured by deeds of trust or the manner of collecting any such taxes so as to adversely affect Beneficiary (including, without limitation, a requirement that internal revenue stamps be affixed to this Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents), Grantor will promptly pay any such tax. If Grantor fails to make such prompt payment, or if any Law prohibits Grantor from making such payment or would penalize Beneficiary if Grantor makes such payment, then the entire unpaid balance of the Obligations shall, without Notice, immediately become due and payable at the sole option of Beneficiary. In no event, however, shall any income taxes of Beneficiary or franchise taxes of Beneficiary measured by income, or taxes in lieu of such income taxes or franchise taxes, be required to be paid by Grantor.
               (c) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary reserves the right to require Grantor to pay to Beneficiary monthly, on any date selected by Beneficiary, such amount as Beneficiary from time to time estimates will generate sufficient funds to pay all Property Assessments and premiums for the insurance required by Section 4.2 (Insurance) prior to the date such Property Assessments or insurance premiums next become due. Beneficiary’s estimates shall be based on the amounts actually payable or, if unknown, on the amounts actually paid for the year preceding that for which such payments are being made. Any deficiencies shall be promptly paid by Grantor to Beneficiary on demand. Grantor shall transmit or cause to be transmitted bills for the Property Assessments and insurance premiums to Beneficiary as soon as received by Grantor. When Beneficiary has received from Grantor, or on its account, funds sufficient to pay the same, Beneficiary shall, except as provided below following an Event of Default, pay such bills. Payments for such purposes may be made by Beneficiary at its discretion even though subsequent owners of the Property may benefit thereby. Upon foreclosure or release of this Deed of Trust or, to the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may apply any sums so deposited to the payment of the Obligations. If from time to time funds are accumulated under the terms of this Section in excess of the amount needed to pay the Property

17


 

Assessments and such insurance premiums, Grantor at least annually shall be given the option of (i) receiving a refund of the excess funds, (ii) applying the excess funds to the payment of the Obligations (provided prepayment is then permitted without penalty pursuant to the Note), or (iii) permitting the excess funds to remain in the escrow account established pursuant to this Section. If Grantor fails to give Notice to Beneficiary of its intent with respect to the application of the excess funds as provided in this Section within sixty (60) days from the date Beneficiary mailed notice of the accumulation of the excess funds, Beneficiary shall promptly return the excess funds to Grantor. Within sixty (60) days after receipt from Grantor of a Notice requesting a refund, Beneficiary shall also return excess funds to Grantor.
     Section 4.6 Compliance with Laws.
     Grantor will comply with and not violate, and cause to be complied with and not violated, all present and future Laws applicable to the Property and its use and operation.
     Section 4.7 Maintenance and Repair of the Property.
     Grantor, at Grantor’s sole expense, will (a) keep and maintain the Improvements and the Equipment in good condition, working order and repair, and (b) make all necessary or appropriate repairs and Additions to the Improvements and Equipment, so that each part of the Improvements and all of the Equipment shall at all times be in good condition and fit and proper for the respective purposes for which they were originally intended, erected, or installed.
     Section 4.8 Additions to Security.
     All right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all Improvements and Additions hereafter constructed or placed on the Property and in and to any Equipment hereafter acquired shall, without any further deed of trust, conveyance, assignment or other act by Grantor, become subject to the Lien of this Deed of Trust as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by Grantor and specifically described in the granting clauses hereof. Grantor agrees, however, to execute and deliver to the Trustees and/or Beneficiary such further documents as may be required pursuant to Section 9.2 (Further Assurances).
     Section 4.9 Inspection.
     Upon reasonable advance notice thereof by Beneficiary, Grantor will permit Beneficiary, or any Person authorized by Beneficiary, to enter and make inspections of the Property at all reasonable times and as often as may be requested by Beneficiary.
     Section 4.10 Management.
     Grantor shall at all times provide for the competent and responsible management and operation of the Property. Each management contract affecting the Property must be approved in writing by Beneficiary prior to the execution of the same.
     Section 4.11 Books and Records.
     Grantor will keep and maintain full and accurate records and books administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, showing in detail the earnings and expenses of the Property and the operation thereof. Grantor shall permit

18


 

Beneficiary, or any Person authorized by Beneficiary, to inspect and examine such records and books (regardless of where maintained) and all supporting vouchers and data and to make copies and extracts therefrom at all reasonable times and as often as may be requested by Beneficiary. In addition, Grantor will furnish or cause to be furnished to Beneficiary the financial information required under the Loan Agreement:
     Section 4.12 Estoppel Certificates.
     Within ten (10) days after any request by Beneficiary or a proposed assignee or purchaser of the Loan, Grantor shall certify in writing to Beneficiary, or to such proposed assignee or purchaser, the then unpaid balance of the Loan and whether Grantor has any right of defense or setoff to the payment or performance of any of the Obligations.
     Section 4.13 Subrogation.
     To the extent permitted by Law, Beneficiary shall be subrogated, notwithstanding its release of record, to any Lien now or hereafter existing on the Property to the extent that such Lien is paid or discharged by Beneficiary whether or not from the proceeds of the Loan. This Section shall not be deemed or construed, however, to obligate Beneficiary to pay or discharge any Lien.
     Section 4.14 Leases.
               (a) Beneficiary shall approve any Material Lease executed after the date of this Deed of Trust as to form, content and financial strength of the tenant. At any time, within thirty (30) days after Notice from Beneficiary, Grantor will deliver to Beneficiary a written description in such reasonable detail as Beneficiary may request of all of the Leases, including, without limitation, the names of all tenants, the terms of all Leases and the Rents payable under all Leases. If any Material Lease provides for the giving by the tenant of certificates with respect to the status of such Lease, Grantor shall exercise its right to require such certificate within ten (10) days after any request by Beneficiary. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice from Beneficiary, Grantor will notify all tenants under existing Leases, and agrees to notify all tenants under future Leases, that (i) Grantor collects and receives all Rents pursuant to the license granted to it hereunder, and (ii) upon Notice from Beneficiary that such license has been revoked, the tenants shall pay all unpaid Rent directly to Beneficiary.
               (b) So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Grantor shall have a license (which license shall terminate automatically and without Notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to collect upon, but not prior to accrual, the Rents under the Leases and, where applicable, subleases, such Rents to be held in trust for Beneficiary. Each month, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Grantor may retain such Rents and proceeds from Resident Agreements as were collected that month and held in trust for Beneficiary. Upon revocation of such license and following notification to the tenants under the Leases by Beneficiary or the Trustees that Rents are to be paid to Beneficiary, all Rents shall be paid directly to Beneficiary and not through Grantor. A demand by Beneficiary on any tenant for the payment of Rent shall be sufficient to warrant such tenant to make future payments of Rent to Beneficiary without the necessity of further consent by Grantor.

19


 

               (c) Grantor, at its sole cost and expense, will use its best efforts to enforce or secure, or cause to be enforced or secured, the performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the respective tenants under any Leases and will appear in and defend, at its sole cost and expense, any action or proceeding arising under, or in any manner connected with, such Leases.
               (d) Grantor will not assign the whole or any part of the Leases or Rents without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
               (e) Grantor will promptly perform all of its obligations under any Leases. Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, (i) cancel, terminate, accept a surrender of, reduce the payment of rent under any Material Leases, or accept any prepayment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance under, any Lease or Resident Agreements, (ii) modify, amend or substitute any Material Leases, or (iii) permit a Lien on the Property superior to any Lease, other than this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary acknowledges that the community fee paid in connection with a Resident Agreement is not a prepayment of rent.
               (f) If any Leases are subordinate (either by their date, their express terms, or by subsequent agreement of the tenant) to this Deed of Trust, such Leases shall be subject to the condition (and this Deed of Trust so authorizes) that, in the event of any sale of the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2 (Foreclosure), the Leases shall, at the sole option of Beneficiary or any purchaser at such sale, either (i) continue in full force and effect as set forth in the required advertisement of sale, and the tenant or tenants thereunder will, upon request, attorn to and acknowledge in writing the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales as landlord thereunder, or (ii) upon notice to such effect from Beneficiary, the Trustees or any purchaser or purchasers, terminate within ninety (90) days from the date of sale. As to any Lease, neither Beneficiary nor any purchaser or purchasers at foreclosure shall be bound by any payment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance or by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the prior written consent of Beneficiary or, subsequent to a foreclosure sale, such purchaser or purchasers.
               (g) Neither the Trustees nor Beneficiary shall be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of Grantor under any Lease. This assignment of the Leases in no manner places on Beneficiary or the Trustees any responsibility for (i) the control, care, management or repair of the Property, (ii) the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases, (iii) any waste committed on the Property, or (iv) any dangerous or defective condition on the Property (whether known or unknown). Grantor agrees to indemnify the Trustees and Beneficiary for, and forever hold them harmless from, any and all Claims arising out of, or in connection with, any Leases or any assignment thereof.
               (h) Unless otherwise agreed to by Beneficiary, each Lease shall (i) be at market rents, (ii) be subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust, (iii) contain attornment language requiring each tenant to attorn to any subsequent purchaser of the Property, (iv) not contain non-disturbance language entitling such tenant to remain at the Property after any sale of the Property except as specifically agreed to by Beneficiary in connection with specified Leases,

20


 

and shall be in all respects acceptable to Beneficiary and its counsel. Approved Material Leases may not be amended, modified or terminated without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.
     Section 4.15 Contracts of Sale.
     Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor irrevocably authorizes Beneficiary, at its sole option, to collect, in the name of Grantor or in its own name as assignee, all payments due or to become due under any Contract of Sale. Grantor agrees that it will facilitate in every reasonable way the collection by Beneficiary of such payments, and will, upon written request by Beneficiary, execute a written notice and deliver the same to each purchaser directing the purchaser to make such payments to Beneficiary. In no event shall Beneficiary be accountable for more moneys than it actually receives pursuant to a Contract of Sale, nor shall Beneficiary be liable for any failure to collect payments under any Contract of Sale. The right to determine the method of collection and the extent to which the enforcement of collection shall be prosecuted is reserved to the sole discretion of Beneficiary. Grantor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, will not execute any assignment of any Contract of Sale or the payments due thereunder. Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary, within ten (10) days after a written request from Beneficiary, a written certification containing the names of all contract purchasers of the Property and shall attach to such certification a copy of any Contract of Sale. Nothing contained in this Section shall (a) be construed as a consent by Beneficiary to any Transfer of the Property, or (b) constitute a delegation to Beneficiary of any of Grantor’s duties or obligations under any Contract of Sale. Grantor agrees to indemnify Beneficiary and the Trustees for, and forever hold them harmless from, any Claim arising out of, or in connection with, any Contract of Sale.
     Section 4.16 Taxes.
     Grantor shall pay and discharge all Taxes prior to the date on which penalties are attached thereto unless and to the extent only that such Taxes are contested in accordance with Section 4.20 (Permitted Contests).
     Section 4.17 Hazardous Materials; Contamination.
          (a) The Grantor agrees to (i) give Notice to the Beneficiary immediately upon the Grantor’s acquiring knowledge of the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Property or of any Hazardous Materials Contamination or of any Claim made or threatened against the Grantor or the Property with respect to any Environmental Requirement with a full description thereof; (ii) at the Grantor’s sole cost and expense, promptly comply with any and all Environmental Requirements relating to the Property or such Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and provide the Beneficiary with satisfactory evidence of such compliance; (iii) provide the Beneficiary, within thirty (30) days after a demand by the Beneficiary, with a bond, letter of credit or similar financial assurance evidencing to the Beneficiary’s satisfaction that the necessary funds are available to pay the cost of complying with such Environmental Requirements and removing, treating and disposing of such Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and discharging any Lien which may be established on the Property as a result thereof; and (iv) take whatever other action as the Beneficiary may deem necessary or appropriate to restore to the Grantor the full use and benefit of the Property as contemplated by the Financing Documents.

21


 

          (b) The Grantor shall immediately upon the receipt of Notice from the Beneficiary, which may be given at any time and from time to time by the Beneficiary in its sole discretion (but not more frequently than once during any twelve (12) month period), cause an Environmental Assessment to be undertaken with respect to the Property and furnish the same to the Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after the date of the Beneficiary’s request. The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be borne exclusively by the Grantor. The Grantor shall cooperate with each environmental consulting firm engaged to make any such Environmental Assessment and shall supply to each such environmental consulting firm, from time to time and promptly on request, all information available to the Grantor to facilitate the completion of the Environmental Assessment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Beneficiary shall be under no duty to require the preparation of any Environmental Assessment of the Property, and in no event shall any such Environmental Assessment by the Beneficiary be or give rise to any representation or warranty by the Beneficiary that Hazardous Materials are or are not present on the Property, or that there has been compliance by the Grantor or any other Person with any Environmental Requirement.
          (c) The Grantor shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold the Beneficiary, the Trustees, any Persons owned or controlled by, owning or controlling, or under the common control of or affiliated with, the Beneficiary and/or the Trustees, any participants in the Loan, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Beneficiary, and/or such other Persons, and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing, harmless from and against any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with any investigative, enforcement, cleanup, removal, containment, remedial or other private, governmental or regulatory action at any time threatened, instituted or completed pursuant to any applicable Environmental Requirement against the Grantor or the Beneficiary or against or with respect to the Property or any condition, use or activity on the Property or at any time threatened or made by any Person against the Grantor or the Beneficiary or against or with respect to the Property or any condition, use or activity on the Property relating to any damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from or in any way arising in connection with any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination. Upon demand by the Beneficiary, the Grantor shall diligently defend any such Claim which affects the Property or is made or commenced against the Beneficiary, whether alone or together with the Grantor or any other Person, all at the Grantor’s sole cost and expense and by counsel to be approved by the Beneficiary in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. In the alternative, the Beneficiary may at any time elect to conduct its own defense through counsel selected by the Beneficiary and at the cost and expense of the Grantor.
     Section 4.18 Right to Perform.
     If the Grantor fails to promptly pay or perform any of the Obligations, the Beneficiary, without Notice to or demand upon the Grantor, and without waiving or releasing any Obligation or Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of the Grantor. The Beneficiary may enter upon the Property for that purpose and take all action thereon as the Beneficiary considers necessary or appropriate. All Expenses incurred by the Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, shall be paid by the Grantor to the Beneficiary as provided in Section 4.19 (Reimbursement; Interest).

     Grantor shall not be required to pay any of the Property Assessments, or to comply with any Law, so long as Grantor shall in good faith, and at its cost and expense, contest the amount or validity thereof, or take other appropriate action with respect thereto, in good faith and in an appropriate manner or by appropriate proceedings; provided that (a) such proceedings operate to prevent the collection of, or other realization upon, such Property Assessments or enforcement of the Law so contested, (b) there will be no sale, forfeiture or loss of the Property during the contest, (c) neither Beneficiary nor the Trustees are subjected to any Claim, and (d) Grantor provides assurances satisfactory to Beneficiary (including, without limitation, the establishment of an appropriate reserve account with Beneficiary) of its ability to pay such Property Assessments or comply with such Law in the event Grantor is unsuccessful in its contest. Each such contest shall be promptly prosecuted to final conclusion or settlement, and Grantor shall indemnify and save Beneficiary and Trustees harmless against all Claims in connection therewith. Promptly after the settlement or conclusion of such contest or action, Grantor shall comply with such Law and/or pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed or imposed or determined to be payable, together with all penalties, fines, interests, costs and expenses in connection therewith.

This Deed of Trust constitutes a fixture filing under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, as amended or recodified from time to time, and covers property which includes goods that are or are to become fixtures on the Property. “Fixtures” shall include all articles of personal property now or hereafter attached to, placed upon for an indefinite term or used in connection with said real property, appurtenances and improvements, together with all goods and other property which are or at any time become so related to the Property that an interest in them arises under real estate law.

     Grantor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing this or any other documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require.

The Grantor hereby agrees to execute and deliver on demand, and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Beneficiary the attorney-in-fact of the Grantor, to execute, deliver and, if appropriate, to file with the appropriate filing office or offices, such financing statements or other instruments as the Beneficiary may request or require in order to perfect the security interest granted hereby or to continue the effectiveness of the same.

Beneficiary may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of Access Law compliance from an architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Beneficiary.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary, or the Trustees at the direction of Beneficiary, may at any time thereafter exercise any of the following rights, powers or remedies:
     Section 7.1 Acceleration.
     Beneficiary may declare (without Notice to Grantor and without presentment, demand, protest or notice of protest or of dishonor, all of which Grantor hereby waives) the Obligations to be immediately due and payable.
     Section 7.2 Foreclosure.
     The Trustees, personally or by their agent or attorneys, may sell the Property, or any part or parts thereof, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein, at public auction at such time and place and upon such terms and conditions as the Trustees may deem appropriate or as may be required or permitted by applicable law, after having first advertised the time, place and terms of sale in accordance with applicable law. In the event of any such sale, the Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the Property (or such portion thereof as may be offered for sale) and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the amount secured by this Deed of Trust as a credit to the purchase price. At any foreclosure sale, such portion of the Property as is offered for sale may, at the Beneficiary’s option, be offered for sale for one total price, and the proceeds of such sale accounted for in one account without distinction between the items of security or without assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, the Grantor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshalling. If less than all of the Property is sold at foreclosure and any of the Obligations remain outstanding after the sale proceeds are applied thereto, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the Property remaining unsold, and the Beneficiary may at any time thereafter direct the Trustees to sell the same as provided above.
     Section 7.3 Application of Proceeds.
     In the event of a foreclosure sale of the Property, either judicially or by private power of sale, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, unless applicable statutes shall specify otherwise, first, to the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including attorneys’; and trustee’s fees, then to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges including utility charges advanced by the Beneficiary together with interest at the interest rate provide in the Note, this Deed of Trust or the Financing Documents, and finally the remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Grantor or as otherwise may be required by the provisions of applicable law.

29


 

     Section 7.4 No Reinstatement.
     Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, if a Default shall have occurred and the Beneficiary or the Trustees shall have commenced to exercise any of the remedies permitted hereunder, then a tender of payment by the Grantor or by anyone on behalf of the Grantor of the amount necessary to satisfy all sums due hereunder, or the acceptance by the Beneficiary of any such payment so tendered, shall not, without the prior consent of the Beneficiary, constitute a reinstatement of the Note or this Deed of Trust.
     Section 7.5 Taking Possession or Control of the Property.
     As a matter of right without regard to the adequacy of the security, and to the extent permitted by law without Notice to Grantor, Beneficiary shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Property or otherwise, and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver. In addition, to the extent permitted by Law, and with or without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, Beneficiary may (a) enter upon, and take possession of (and Grantor shall surrender actual possession of), the Property or any part thereof, without Notice to Grantor and without bringing any legal action or proceeding, or, if necessary by force, legal proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and (b) remove and exclude Grantor and its agents and employees therefrom.
     Section 7.6 Management of the Property.
     Upon obtaining possession of the Property or upon the appointment of a receiver as described in Section 7.5 (Taking Possession or Control), Beneficiary, the Trustees or the receiver, as the case may be, may, at their sole option, (a) make all necessary or proper repairs and Additions to or upon the Property, (b) operate, maintain, control, make secure and preserve the Property, (c) receive all Rents, and (d) complete the construction of any unfinished Improvements on the Property and, in connection therewith, continue any and all outstanding contracts for the erection and completion of such Improvements and make and enter into any further contracts which may be necessary, either in their or its own name (the cost of completing the Improvements shall be Expenses secured by this Deed of Trust and accrue interest as set forth in Section 4.19 (Reimbursement; Interest)). In so doing, Beneficiary, the Trustees or such receiver shall have the right to manage the Property and to carry on the business of Grantor and may exercise all of the rights and powers of Grantor, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to lease the Property, to cancel, modify, renew or extend any Lease or sub-lease of the Property and to carry on any contracts entered into by Grantor with respect to the Property. Beneficiary, the Trustees or such receiver shall be under no liability for, or by reason of, any such taking of possession, entry, holding, removal, maintaining, operation or management, except for willful misconduct. Any Rents received shall be applied (a) first, to pay all Expenses, and (b) the balance, if any, to payment of the other Obligations. Grantor shall pay on demand to Beneficiary, the receiver or the Trustees (as the case may be) the amount of any deficiency between (a) the Rents received by Beneficiary, the receiver or the Trustees, and (b) all Expenses incurred together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate as provided in Section 4.19 (Reimbursement; Interest). The exercise of the remedies provided in this Section shall not cure or waive any Event of Default, and the enforcement of such remedies, once commenced, shall continue for so long as

30


 

Beneficiary shall elect, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of such remedies may have, for a time, cured the original Event of Default.
     Section 7.7 Uniform Commercial Code.
     Beneficiary may proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Personalty, and in conjunction therewith may exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Grantor shall assemble all of the Equipment and make the same available within the Improvements. Any notification required by the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to a sale or other disposition of Personalty shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent in accordance with the Notice provision of this Deed of Trust at least ten (10) days before any such sale or disposition. Disposition of the Personalty shall be deemed commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale advertised at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the Property is located. Proceeds from any such sale shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to pay all Expenses incurred in connection with the sale, and (b) the balance, if any, to payment of the other Obligations.
     Section 7.8 Other Remedies.
     Beneficiary shall have the right from time to time to enforce any legal or equitable remedy against Grantor and to sue Grantor for any sums (whether interest, damages for failure to pay principal or any installments thereof, taxes, or any other sums required to be paid under the terms of this Deed of Trust, as the same become due), without regard to whether or not any other of the Obligations shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to enforce any appropriate remedy against Grantor, including, without limitation, an action of foreclosure or an action for specific performance for a Default by Grantor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
     Section 7.9 Remedies, etc. Cumulative.
     Each right, power and remedy of Beneficiary or the Trustees as provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Financing Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Financing Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Beneficiary or the Trustees of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Beneficiary or the Trustees of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.
     Section 7.10 No Waiver by Beneficiary etc.
     No course of dealing or conduct between Beneficiary, the Trustees and Grantor shall be effective to amend, modify or change any provisions of this Deed of Trust or the other Financing Documents. No failure or delay by Beneficiary or the Trustees to insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant or agreement of this Deed of Trust or of any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, covenant or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Beneficiary or the Trustees from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any

31


 

later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any of the Obligations, Beneficiary or the Trustees shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other Obligations, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to make prompt payment of any such other Obligations. Neither Grantor nor any other Person now or hereafter obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations shall be relieved of such liability by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply with any request of Grantor or of any other Person to take action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust, or (b) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of the Property and Beneficiary, or (c) Beneficiary extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents without first having obtained the consent of Grantor or such other Person. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien on the Property, Beneficiary may release any Person at any time liable for any of the Obligations or any part of the security for the Obligations, and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents without in any way impairing or affecting the Lien of this Deed of Trust or the priority of this Deed of Trust over any subordinate Lien. The holder of any subordinate Lien shall have no right to terminate any Lease regardless of whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may resort to the security or collateral described in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion.
     Section 7.11 Waivers and Agreements Regarding Remedies.
     To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor hereby:
               (a) agrees that it will not at any time plead, claim or take advantage of any Laws now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, extension and notice of election to accelerate the Obligations;
               (b) waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Grantor, including without limitation, the Property, or to a sale in the inverse order of alienation in the event of a foreclosure of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any Law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Property without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever;
               (c) waives any right to bring or utilize any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one which denies the existence or sufficiency of the facts upon which any foreclosure action is grounded. If any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one permitted by the preceding clause, is timely raised in a foreclosure action, such defense, counterclaim or setoff shall be dismissed. If such defense, counterclaim or setoff is based on a Claim which could be tried in an action for money damages, such Claim may be brought in a

32


 

separate action which shall not thereafter be consolidated with the foreclosure action. The bringing of such separate action for money damages shall not be deemed to afford any grounds for staying the foreclosure action;
               (d) waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which Grantor may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of any Laws pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties; and
               (e) any requirement that the Beneficiary or the Trustees present evidence or otherwise proceed before any court, clerk or other judicial or quasi-judicial body before exercising the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust.
     Section 7.12 Setoff.
     Beneficiary may set off against and apply any funds of Grantor on deposit with, or under the control of, Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations, without Notice and without resort to any judicial proceeding.

THE TRUSTEES
     Section 8.1 Liability of the Trustees.
     The Trustees shall have no liability or responsibility for, and make no warranties in connection with, the validity or enforceability of any of the Financing Documents or the description, value or status of title to the Property. The Trustees shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, demand, statement, note or other paper or document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed by the party or parties purporting to sign the same. The Trustees shall not be liable for any error of judgment, nor for any act done or step taken or omitted, nor for any mistakes of law or fact, nor for anything which the Trustees may do or refrain from doing in good faith, nor generally shall either of the Trustees have any accountability hereunder except for willful misconduct and/or gross negligence. The powers and duties of the Trustees hereunder may be exercised through such attorneys, agents or servants as they may appoint, and the Trustees shall have no liability or responsibility for any act, failure to act, negligence or willful conduct of such attorney, agent or servant, so long as they were selected with reasonable care. In addition, the Trustees may consult with legal counsel selected by them and the Trustees shall have no liability or responsibility by reason of any act or failure to act in accordance with the opinions of such counsel. The Trustees may act hereunder and may sell or otherwise dispose of the Property or any part thereof as herein provided, although the Trustees have been, may now be or may hereafter be, attorneys, officers, agents or employees of Beneficiary, in respect of any matter of business whatsoever.

The power of appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees may be exercised as often as and whenever Beneficiary may choose, and the exercise of the power of appointment, no matter how often, shall not be an exhaustion thereof. Upon the recordation of such Deed or Deeds of Appointment, the Trustee or Trustees so appointed shall thereupon, without any further act or deed of conveyance, become fully vested with identically the same title and estate in and to the Property and with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of their, his or its predecessor in the trust hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustees or as one of the Trustees hereunder. Whenever in this Deed of Trust reference is made to the Trustees, it shall be construed to mean the Trustee or Trustees for the time being, whether original or successors or successor in trust. All title, estate, rights, powers, trusts and duties hereunder given or appertaining to or devolving upon the Trustees shall be in each of the Trustees so that any action hereunder or purporting to be hereunder of any one of the original or any successor Trustees shall for all purposes be considered to be, and as effective as, the action of all the Trustees.

(“Chevy Chase”) in the maximum principal amount of Thirty Million and No/Dollars ($30,000,000.00) (“Loan A”) which was advanced pursuant to the provisions of a certain Loan Agreement dated August 28, 2007 by and between the Borrower, Chevy Chase and the Lender, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated April 15, 2008 and that certain Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith (the same, as amended, modified, restated, substituted, extended and renewed at any time and from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).

AGREEMENTS
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:
     1. Borrower and Lender agree that the Recitals above are a part of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly defined in this Agreement, terms defined in the MB Financial Note shall have the same meaning under this Agreement.
     2. Section 1 (Interest) of the MB Financial Note is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     “1. Interest.
     Commencing as of August 29, 2009 and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating rate based on an independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates for one-month dollar deposits in the London Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 500 basis points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”) which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements imposed upon the Lender from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each month.

     B. Loan A is evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance with the provisions of (i) a Deed of Trust Note A dated August 28, 2007 from the Borrower payable to the Lender in the principal amount of Twenty Million and No/Dollars ($20,000,000.00) (as amended by this Agreement and as amended, modified, restated, substituted, extended and renewed at anytime and from time to time, the “Chevy Chase Note”) and (ii) a Deed of Trust Note A dated August 28, 2007 from the Borrower payable to MB Financial in the principal amount of Ten Million and No/Dollars ($10,000,000.00), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Deed of Trust Note A dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified, restated, substituted, extended and renewed at anytime and from time to time, the “MB Financial Note” and, collectively with Chevy Chase Note, the “Notes”).

The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each month.

Exhibit 10.23
FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEED OF TRUST NOTE B
(Loan B)
     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEED OF TRUST NOTE B (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 28, 2009, by and between SUNRISE CONNECTICUT AVENUE ASSISTED LIVING L.L.C., a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Borrower”) and CHEVY CHASE BANK, a division of Capital One, N.A. (the “Lender”).
RECITALS
     A. Borrower obtained a loan from the Lender in the maximum principal amount of Ten Million and No/Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (“Loan B”) which was advanced pursuant to the provisions of a certain Loan Agreement dated August 28, 2007 by and between the Borrower and the Lender, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated April 15, 2008 and that certain Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith (the same, as amended, modified, restated, substituted, extended and renewed at any time and from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).
     B. Loan B is evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance with the provisions of a Deed of Trust Note B dated August 28, 2007 from the Borrower payable to Lender in the principal amount of Ten Million and No/Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (as amended by this Agreement and as amended, modified, restated, substituted, extended and renewed at anytime and from time to time, the “Note”).
     C. Loan B is guaranteed by Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Guaranty of Payment dated August 28, 2007, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Guaranty of Payment dated September 8, 2008 and that certain Second Amendment to Guaranty of Payment dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified, restated, substituted, extended and renewed at anytime and from time to time, the “Guaranty”).
     D. The Borrower has requested and the Lender has agreed to (i) extend the Maturity Date of the Note, (ii) increase the interest rate applicable under the terms of the Note and (iii) make such other changes as more particularly set forth herein.
AGREEMENTS
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

 


 

     1. Borrower and Lender agree that the Recitals above are a part of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly defined in this Agreement, terms defined in the Note shall have the same meaning under this Agreement.
     2. Section 1 (Interest) of the Note is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
          “1. Interest.
     Commencing as of August 29, 2009 and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating rate based on an independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates for one-month dollar deposits in the London Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 550 basis points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”) which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements imposed upon the Lender from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each month. All interest payable under the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The LIBOR Rate shall be in effect for a period of the number of days indicated (each a “LIBOR Period”), in any case extended to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith) when necessary, beginning on the date hereof or the expiration date of the then-current LIBOR Period.”
     3. Section 2 (Payments and Maturity) of the Note is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
          “2. Payments and Maturity.
     The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate provided above, shall be payable as follows:
     (a) Interest only commencing on October 1, 2007 and continuing on the same day of each and every month thereafter, to and including December 1, 2009;
     (b) Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on December 2, 2009.”

     4. Borrower hereby issues, ratifies and confirms the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Note, as amended hereby. Borrower agrees that this Agreement is not intended to and shall not cause a novation with respect to Loan B any or all of the obligations of Borrower under the Financing Documents. Except as expressly modified herein, the terms, provisions and covenants of the Note are in all other respects hereby ratified and confirmed and remain in full force and effect.
     5. The Borrower acknowledges and warrants that the Lender has acted in good faith and has conducted in a commercially reasonable manner its relationships with the Borrower in connection with this Agreement and generally in connection with the Financing Documents and the obligations evidenced by the Note, the Borrower hereby waiving and releasing any claims to the contrary.
     6. The Borrower shall pay at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered all fees, commissions, costs, charges, taxes and other expenses incurred by the Lender and its counsel in connection with this Agreement, including reasonable fees and expenses of the Lender’s counsel and all recording fees, taxes and charges.
     7. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
     8. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or counterparts, each of such duplicate originals or counterparts shall be deemed to be an original and all taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Borrower agrees that Lender may rely on a telecopy of any signature of Borrower. Lender agrees that Borrower may rely on a telecopy of this Agreement executed by Lender.
