1. § ENSURING A SMOOTH HUD HEALTHCARE § 232 LEAN CLOSING Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. Krooth & Altman LLP 1850 M Street, NW Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 (202) -293-8200 jvihstadt@krooth.com 1 Southeast Mortgagee Advisory Counsel (SMAC) (LEAN—Underwriting Highlights, Closings, New Construction Panel) May 15, 2014 & pet peeves

2. START the Closing process early.  The “sweet spot” for K&A engagement and issuance of tailored legal closing “warm-up” materials is 30-60 days ± before Commitment issuance, unless the deal has either Operator-Lessee or Accounts Receivable (AR) financing components, in which case Lender Counsel engagement should occur 45-60 days prior to Lender submission of Commitment application. The “two-stage” legal review process remains for these deals only.  An all-hands kick-off conference call with Lender, Lender’s Counsel, Borrower, and Borrower’s Counsel to review “warm-up” instructions, followed by another to discuss the issued Commitment, is recommended.  Loop in AR Lender and Counsel and Operator/Lessee and Counsel as relevant. Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 10. START 2

3. ASK if the project’s likely HUD counsel has either a specific supplemental Closing Checklist or special protocol or procedure for attaining Endorsement, or perhaps just a nuance or two.  Despite national standards, closing requirements may vary somewhat from closing office to closing office—and even lawyer to lawyer or deal to deal. A mail or skeleton closing may or may not be the best way to go.  The LEAN Blasts and LEAN Thinking issuances are a solid foundation, but subject to interpretation and varied implementation. Consult the ORCF Legal FAQs for specific closing documents questions. Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 9. ASK 3

4. STUDY the Firm Commitment, including Special Conditions and Schedules, to glean such variables:  Escrows Universe  Documentation Requirements  Proper Forms, Numbers, Dates, and Times  Paragraph 38 Principals  Insurance (esp. professional liability and fidelity bond)  Special Submission or Clearance Requirements, etc. (e.g., deadlines) Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 8. STUDY 4

5. TAILOR the submission to the particular deal. Use the correct checklist(s) and Punch-list(s) and annotate them. Examples:  Secure health care licenses (check care level, # of beds/units, holder, exp. date, etc.), administrator & business licenses/permits and approvals, equipment leasing/acquisition documentation, major/minor moveable equipment listings, and the like.  On tax credit deals, ensure that scheduled equity infusions are set forth in the LP Agreement and that the investor has given clearance.  On construction deals, ensure that architect, contractor, and surety documents and issues are smoked out and settled.  Are there subordinate financing sources? Commercial Leases? Environmental issues? Reciprocal easements/shared uses? Air rights? Indian lands? Payoff issues? Environmental? Anything kinky or bizarre? Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 7. TAILOR 5

6. COORDINATE Closing documents submission to HUD in a unified manner.  Lender’s Counsel will review and submit to Closing Coordinator & Counsel.  Avoid multiparty, piecemeal submission, except for program-side materials such as:  Critical Repairs evidence  Construction draw documents  Plans & Specs; Permits; Revised 2328; updated Davis-Bacon; Construction Schedule  Cost certification papers  Settlement Statement  Commitment amendment(s) and extension(s ) Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 6. COORDINATE 6

7. REVIEW and proof the comprehensive Closing submission before shipment to HUD.  Identify significant issues and deficiencies in the cover letter.  Make it easy for HUD!  Include an Organizational Chart, other aids.  Don’t hide the ball.  Ask for a certain closing date(s) but don’t back HUD into corner. Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 5. REVIEW 7

8. REMEMBER that Closing review is two-fold:  Legal staff  Program staff  Both may have comments together or separately.  Press non-HUD parties for comments, as well.  Ensure that all parties are ready to respond to HUD comments immediately. Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 4. REMEMBER 8

9. MAINTAIN communication with all parties, including HUD, during the submission review and pre-closing process.  Lack of comment may be good news—or bad.  Lay out a realistic timeline and follow up as necessary. Be mindful of personnel schedules, signatory availability, and overnight courier risks.  There is a fine line between status check and harassment, depending on personalities involved. Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 3. MAINTAIN 9

10. ORCHESTRATE the closing process.  PLAN:  Documents execution  Pre-recording  Obligations of all parties before and at the table  Special considerations for by-mail or “skeleton” closings  HUD Contractor Counsel dynamics  ISSUE Closing Escrow Instructions Letter and mind warehouse bank and Ginnie Mae delivery requirements.  Remember post-closing documents dispatch. Prepared by John E. Vihstadt, Esq. jvihstadt@krooth.com May 15, 2014 2. ORCHESTRATE 10

11. FEAST on a big breakfast before coming to HUD – you never know when you will escape! With mail closings, have food at your desk.  Bring pastries to HUD on closing day but avoid soiling closing documents.  Adhere to proper protocol and etiquette:  Minimize security provocations.  Avoid loitering or eavesdropping at HUD cubicles.  Do not lose the restroom key or security badge.  Tidy up!
