Re: Loan in the aggregate amount of $2,116,100 (the "Loan")
from Banc One Capital Funding Corporation ("BOCFC") to
Retirements Inns II (the "Borrower"), which is a direct
or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of ARV Assisted
Living, Inc. ("ARV"), secured by first lien deeds of
trust on assisted living properties (the "Projects")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This will confirm the following agreements by and among BOCFC
and Borrower with respect to the Loan:
1. In the engagement letter dated June 10, 1999 from BOCFC to ARV
regarding, among other things, the above-referenced Loan (the "Engagement
Letter"), ARV and the Borrower, in consideration of BOCFC making the Loan,
granted to BOCFC the last right of refusal to arrange or provide any permanent
financing to replace the Loan at or prior to the maturity thereof on July 1,
2001 (the "Maturity Date"). The Loan may be voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower
thereof only during the one hundred eighty (180) day period immediately
preceding the Maturity Date. Said last right of refusal with respect to
permanent financing to replace the Loan will be extinguished if BOCFC exercises
its option to extend the Maturity Date for such Loan as described in the
Engagement Letter and the promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Loan
(the "Lender Extension Option").
The terms and conditions of such last right of refusal are as
follows:
(a) At any time within the one hundred eighty (180) day
period immediately preceding the Maturity Date, Borrower
may deliver to BOCFC a copy of any proposal from another
lender for permanent financing ("Replacement Financing")
to replace the Loan which Borrower desires to accept
(the "Replacement Loan Proposal"). BOCFC will have up to
ten (10) days from the date of its receipt of the
Replacement Loan Proposal, within which to exercise its
last right of refusal, but not obligation, by issuing an
engagement letter to Borrower thereby notifying Borrower
that BOCFC will attempt to arrange for or provide
Replacement Financing for the Loan described in the
2
Replacement Loan Proposal substantially upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Replacement Loan
Proposal. BOCFC will also have the right to exercise its
Lender Extension Option with respect to such Loan until
the ninetieth (90th) day immediately preceding the
Maturity Date.
(b) If BOCFC exercises its last right of refusal with
respect to the Replacement Financing for the Loan, it
will have a period of thirty (30) days from the date
BOCFC receives all requested third party information,
and property information and other underwriting due
diligence information requested from Borrower, following
the date of such exercise, within which to issue a
binding commitment for such Replacement Financing. If
BOCFC issues such binding commitment, it will have a
period of two weeks following such issuance to close the
Replacement Financing. If it does not issue a binding
commitment for such Replacement Financing within such
period, it will then be deemed to have withdrawn the
exercise of its last right of refusal with respect to
such Replacement Financing.
(c) If BOCFC does not exercise its last right of refusal
with respect to the Replacement Financing for Loan
within the ten (10) day period referred to in paragraph
1(a), or if, after exercising its last right of refusal
with respect to such Replacement Financing, it fails to
issue a binding commitment for such Replacement
Financing within the time period set forth in paragraph
1(b), Borrower will be free to obtain such Replacement
Financing from the lender issuing the Replacement Loan
Proposal substantially upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Replacement Loan Proposal. Borrower shall
not obtain Replacement Financing for any Loan without
first providing BOCFC with the opportunity to exercise
its last right of refusal to provide such Replacement
Financing in accordance with paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b)
hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding
paragraphs, if after BOCFC has failed to exercise its
last right of refusal with respect to the Replacement
Financing for the Loan within the time period set forth
in paragraph 1(a), or failed to issue the binding
commitment for such Replacement Financing within the
time period set forth in paragraph 1(b), Borrower
desires to obtain such Replacement Financing from the
lender which submitted the Replacement Loan Proposal or
from another lender, upon Terms (as hereinafter defined)
which are materially different from the Terms set forth
in the Replacement Loan Proposal submitted to BOCFC with
respect to such Replacement Financing, then BOCFC will
have a continuing last right of refusal to arrange or
provide for such Replacement Financing upon such
materially different Terms and Borrower shall not obtain
such Replacement Financing upon such materially
different Terms from any other lender without first
providing BOCFC with notice of such materially different
Terms and the opportunity to exercise its last right of
refusal to provide such Replacement Financing upon such
materially different Terms in accordance with paragraphs
1(a) and (b) hereof. For purposes of this paragraph 1,
the
2
3
"Terms" of any Replacement Financing shall be: (i) the
interest rate; (ii) the loan amount; (iii) the term;
(iv) any loan origination and other fees, equity
participations, options, warrants or similar
consideration provided to the lender; (v) the
collateral; and (vi) the guarantor or guarantors.
2. In connection with the Loans, Borrower and BOCFC have entered
into that certain Agreement to Amend or Comply, of even date herewith (the
"Agreement to Amend or Comply"), whereby the Borrower has agreed with BOCFC to,
among other things, assist and cooperate with Lender in the event Lender sells
the Loans in whole or in part. By this letter agreement, Borrower and BOCFC
agree that such Agreement to Amend and Comply shall further extend to and apply
to any refinancing of the Loans with FHA, provided, however, that such
refinancing satisfies the following conditions: (i) the interest rate of the
refinancing shall be identical to the applicable interest rate to the Loans;
(ii) no prepayment premium shall be due and payable by the Borrower to BOCFC
with respect to the refinancing of the Loans; (iii) the terms of the refinancing
shall be substantially identical to the terms of the Loans, subject to FHA
requirements; and (iv) the term of the refinancing shall be for a ten (10) year
period.
3. Any breach or default by Borrower in the performance of its
obligations under this letter shall constitute a default under the documents
evidencing, securing and guarantying the Loan to which Borrower is a party.
Please indicate your agreement to the terms set forth herein by
signing a copy of this letter and returning it to the undersigned. Once signed
by all parties, this letter shall constitute a legally binding agreement among
the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein last.
Very truly yours,
Banc One Capital Funding Corporation
