and severally liable for the payment and performance of all obligations and
liabilities of Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligations
and liabilities of each other Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation,
each such other Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder; provided, however,
that, without limitation of the joint and several nature of the obligations
of
each Tenant hereunder, the possessory and leasehold rights that are created
by
this Lease shall be limited and confined in the case of each Tenant to the
applicable Facility(ies) identified as being leased to and to be operated by
such Tenant on Schedule 1
attached hereto, the
Leased Land on which such Facility is located and
the Intangibles and Landlord’s Personal Property that specifically relate to
such Leased Land.

Medicare;
Medicaid; CON.
Tenant acknowledges that, at present, assisted living facilities
and independent living facilities do not participate in Medicare or Medicaid
and
are not regulated or inspected by Governmental Authorities or other Persons
administering Third Party Payor Programs to the same degree and extent as
hospitals and/or skilled nursing facilities (e.g. through the issuance of
certificates of need, periodic surveys of the quality
of care, issuance of deficiency reports, assignment of deficiency ratings of
a
particular scope or severity or constituting immediate jeopardy events, etc.),
and agrees that, in the event that, during the Term, any of the Leased
Properties determines to participate in Medicare or Medicaid and/or becomes
subject to increased levels of regulation or inspection by Governmental
Authorities or any of the other aforesaid Persons, Landlord shall be entitled
from time to time to impose, and Tenant shall be obligated to comply with,
such
additional covenants and other obligations relating to the Leased Properties
and
Tenant’s leasing and operation thereof as Landlord or its Affiliates customarily
impose upon tenants entering into new leases with Landlord or its Affiliates
for

3. Rent.
3.1
Fixed
Rent.
3.1.1
Rental
Payments.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance and without demand,
on or
prior to the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month (or the next Business Day,
if such 5th
day
is not a
Business Day) during the Term, in lawful money of the United States of America,
by wire transfer and pursuant to the wiring instructions attached hereto as
Schedule 3.1.1, or at
such place, by such means or to such Person(s) as Landlord from time to time
may
designate in writing, the Fixed Rent (and Additional Rent in those instances
described in Section 3.3
below) payable in
respect of such month. Landlord may, by written notice
to Tenant at any time and from time to time, elect to require that Rent (or
portions thereof designated by Landlord) owing hereunder be paid to a lock
box.
Fixed Rent (and Additional Rent in those instances described in Section 3.3 below) shall be
paid in equal, consecutive monthly installments; provided, however,
that the first payment of Fixed Rent shall be payable on the Commencement
Date and prorated for the period from and including the Commencement Date
through the end of the month including the Commencement Date, and the last
monthly payment of Fixed Rent (and the aforesaid Additional Rent) shall be
prorated as to any partial month.
9
3.1.2
Rental
Amounts.
From and after the Commencement Date, Fixed Rent for the remainder
of the First Lease Year shall be $955,000 per annum payable in equal monthly
installments of $79,583.33 per month. Fixed Rent for the second (2nd) Lease
Year
shall increase the Prior Period Fixed Rent by an amount equal to $173,100 per
annum and Fixed Rent for the third (3rd) Lease
Year
shall increase the Prior Period Fixed Rent by an amount equal to $73,562 per
annum. The Rent Escalation Condition need not be satisfied for the increases
described in the immediately preceding sentence to occur. Commencing upon the
commencement of the fourth (4th) Lease
Year of
the Initial Term, and upon the commencement of each Lease Year thereafter during
the Term, the Fixed Rent for such Lease Year shall be an amount equal to the
sum
of (x) the Prior Period Fixed Rent applicable to such Lease Year, plus (y)
the
product of (a) the Prior Period Fixed Rent applicable to such Lease Year and
(b)
provided the Rent Escalation Condition has been satisfied with respect to such
Lease Year, the amount equal to the greater of (1) two percent (2%) (in the
case
of each of Lease Years 4 through 7) or three percent (3%) (in the case of each
Lease Year after Lease Year 7 but before the first Lease Year of any Extended
Term) or (2) seventy-five percent (75%) of the CPI Increase, expressed as a
percentage, for such Lease Year for which such calculation is being performed
or
(3) in the case of any Lease Year in an Extended Term after the first Lease
Year
thereof, three percent (3%), provided, however, that, (A) in the case of the
first Lease Year of the first Extended Term, the Fixed Rent for such Lease
Year
shall equal one hundred five percent (105%) of the Prior Period Fixed Rent
for
such Lease Year, and (B) in the case of the first Lease Year of the second
Extended Term, the Fixed Rent for such Lease Year shall equal the greater of
(1)
one hundred three percent (103%) of the Prior Period Fixed Rent for such Lease
Year or (2) the Fair Market Rental as determined in accordance with Section 43.2 and Section
43.3 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Rent
Escalation Condition fails with respect to any one or more Lease Years, the
Fixed Rent determined for the next Lease Year with respect to which the Rent
Escalation Condition is satisfied shall be determined as if the Rent Escalation
Condition had been satisfied for all previous Lease Years and the Fixed Rent
had
been escalated pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 3.1.2 for all prior
Lease Years. By way of illustration only, if: (A) the Rent Escalation Condition
has failed for both the Lease Year commencing as of August 1, 2010 and the
Lease
Year commencing as of August 1, 2011; but (B) the Rent Escalation Condition
is
satisfied for the Lease Year commencing as of August 1, 2012, the Fixed Rent
for
the Lease Year commencing as of August 1, 2012 shall be determined as if the
Rent Escalation Condition for the two preceding Lease Years (and all other
Lease
Years) had been satisfied such that the Fixed Rent for the Lease Year commencing
as of August 1, 2012 shall include, and be determined on the basis of, the
escalations for all prior Lease Years which would have occurred pursuant to
this
Section 3.1.2 had the
Rent Escalation Condition for all prior Lease Years been satisfied.
3.1.3
Fixed
Rent Determinations.
Promptly after the publication of the Cost of Living Index for
the
tenth (10th)
month during any
Lease Year (promptly after the publication of the Cost of Living Index for
May
2009, in the case of the Fourth Lease Year), Landlord shall calculate the CPI
Increase (during the Initial Term only) and the Fixed Rent for the next Lease
Year and submit its determination of Fixed Rent for the next Lease Year for
Tenant’s approval, which determination shall be deemed approved, absent written
notice from Tenant setting forth with reasonable specificity and detail any
manifest errors in such determination by Landlord within thirty (30) days after
its submission to Tenant. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to
determine Fixed Rent for any Lease Year on or prior to the commencement of
such
Lease Year, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for such Lease Year assuming
a
two
percent (2%) (in the case of each of Lease Years 4 through 7) or three percent
(3%) (in the case of each Lease Year after Lease Year 7) increase over the
Prior
Period Fixed Rent applicable to such Lease Year until the correct Fixed Rent
is
determined for such Lease Year. If the Fixed Rent ultimately determined for
any
such Lease Year exceeds the assumed amount, Tenant shall pay any deficiency,
together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate, with the first installment of
Fixed Rent owing after such determination is made. If the Fixed Rent ultimately
determined for any such Lease Year is less than the assumed amount, any excess
amounts paid by Tenant on account of the Fixed Rent for such Lease Year shall
be
credited against the next installment(s) of Fixed Rent due and owing hereunder.
At either party’s written request, following the determination of Fixed Rent for
a particular Lease Year, both parties shall, not later than five (5) Business
Days after the non-requesting party’s receipt of such request, execute and enter
into a written instrument memorializing the amount of such Fixed
Rent.
10
3.2
Additional
Rent.
In addition to Fixed Rent, Tenant shall pay and discharge as
and
when due and payable the following (collectively “Additional Rent”) (any costs
or expenses paid or incurred by Landlord on behalf of Tenant that constitute
Additional Rent shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15)
days after the presentation by Landlord to Tenant of invoices
therefor):
3.2.1
Impositions.
Subject to the escrow provisions contained in Section 3.3
below
and to the
provisions of Section 13
below, Tenant shall
pay all Impositions when due, and regardless of the
period to which they relate, and in any event before any fine, penalty, interest
or cost may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to
the
taxing authorities where feasible. Tenant shall, promptly upon request, furnish
to Landlord copies of official receipts or other satisfactory evidence of such
payments. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully
be
paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance
of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the option to pay same (and any accrued
interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments (provided
no
such installments shall extend beyond the Term) and, in such event, shall pay
such installments during the Term before any fine, penalty, premium, further
interest or cost may be added thereto.
3.2.2
Utility
Charges.
Tenant shall pay any and all charges for electricity, power,
gas,
oil, water, sanitary and storm sewer, refuse collection, medical waste disposal
and other utilities used or consumed in connection with each Leased Property
during the Term. In the event Landlord is billed directly by any utility company
for any utilities or services supplied to Tenant during the Term, Landlord
shall
send Tenant the xxxx and, provided Tenant receives the xxxx on a timely basis
from Landlord, Tenant shall pay the same before it is due. Landlord shall have
no obligation or liability with respect to any interruption or failure in the
supply of any such utilities.
3.2.3
Insurance
Premiums.
Tenant shall pay all premiums for the insurance
coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Section 14
hereof.
3.2.4
Other
Charges.
Tenant shall pay all other amounts, liabilities, obligations,
costs and expenses paid or incurred with respect to the ownership, repair,
replacement, restoration, maintenance and operation of the
Premises.
11
3.2.5
Late
Payment of Rent.
If any installment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent (but only
as
to those Additional Rent payments that are payable directly to Landlord or
Landlord’s agent or assignee) shall not be paid on its due date, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord for such overdue installment, on demand, (i) interest computed
at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment, from the due date of
such
installment to the date of payment thereof, plus (ii) an administrative fee
of
One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00). In the event of any failure by Tenant to
pay
any Additional Rent when due, Tenant shall in addition promptly pay and
discharge, as Additional Rent, every fine, penalty, interest and cost that
may
be added for non-payment or late payment of such items.
3.2.6
Consent
Expenses.
Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, on behalf of Landlord,
or
reimburse Landlord for, any and all actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs
or
expenses paid or incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, in connection with any of the following activities undertaken
by or on behalf of Landlord under
this Lease: (i) any inspections performed by Landlord or any of Landlord’s
Representatives pursuant to any inspection rights granted hereunder relative
to
any restoration work performed on account of any Casualty or Condemnation;
(ii)
any inspections performed by Landlord or any of Landlord’s Representatives of
one or more Leased Properties pursuant to any inspection rights granted
hereunder (other than the inspection rights referenced in subsection (i) above)
(provided, however, that Tenant’s payment/reimbursement obligation pursuant to
this subsection (ii) shall be limited to Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) in
the
aggregate each calendar year during the Term); (iii) the review, execution,
negotiation or delivery of any consent, waiver, estoppel, subordination
agreement or approval requested of Landlord by Tenant hereunder, including,
without limitation, any request for consent to Alterations, any so-called
“landlord’s waiver”, or the negotiation or approval of the terms of, or any
instruments associated with, any AR Financing; (iv) the review by Landlord
or
Landlord’s Representatives of any Plans and Specifications or Restoration Plans
and Specifications; (v) the review by Landlord or Landlord’s Representatives of
any request by Tenant for any other approval or consent hereunder, or any waiver
of any obligation of Tenant hereunder; (vi) any assistance provided by Landlord
in connection with a permitted contest pursuant to Section 13; and (viii) any
other negotiation, request or other activity comparable to any of the foregoing
(collectively, such expenses, “Consent Expenses”). Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for (or pay on behalf of Landlord) any Consent Expenses
within twenty (20) days after the presentation by Landlord to Tenant of invoices
therefor.
3.3 Escrow
Deposits.
3.3.1
Escrow. Tenant shall, on
the fifth (5th) day
of the
first month with a fifth day after the date hereof and on the fifth (5th) day
of each
calendar month thereafter during the Term (or the next Business Day, if such
5th
day
is not a
Business Day), pay to and deposit with Landlord a sum equal to (i) one twelfth
(1/12th) of the Impositions to be levied, charged, filed, assessed or imposed
upon or against the Premises during the twelve (12) months from and after June
1, 2005 (the “Escrow
Commencement Date”) (or any subsequent twelve (12) month period), plus
(ii) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the premiums for the insurance policies required
pursuant to Section 14
hereof that are payable
during such twelve (12) month period. If the
amount of the Impositions to be levied, charged, filed, assessed or imposed,
or
the insurance premiums to be paid, during the twelve (12) months following
the
Escrow Commencement Date (or any subsequent twelve (12) month period hereunder)
cannot be determined as of the Escrow Commencement Date (or the commencement
of
any subsequent twelve (12) month period), such amount for the purpose of
computing the deposit to be made by Tenant hereunder shall be estimated by
Landlord with an appropriate adjustment to be promptly made between Landlord
and
Tenant as soon as such amount becomes determinable. Landlord may, at its option,
from time to time require that any particular deposit be greater than
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated Imposition and/or insurance premium amount
payable during the twelve (12) months after the Escrow Commencement Date (or
during any subsequent twelve (12) month period), if such additional deposit
is
required to provide a sufficient fund from which to make payment of all
Impositions on or before the next due date of any installment thereof, or to
make payment of any required insurance premiums not later than the due date
thereof. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all notices, demands,
claims, bills and receipts in relation to the Impositions and insurance premiums
promptly upon receipt thereof by Tenant. The actual or estimated amounts on
account of Impositions and insurance premiums shall be adjusted
annually.
12
3.3.2
Landlord’s
Deposit.
The escrow deposits made by Tenant pursuant to this Section 3.3
shall
be deposited
by Landlord in an account (the “Escrow Account”)
of
Landlord or with
any Facility Mortgagee, in the sole discretion of Landlord, and may be
commingled with other assets of Landlord or such Facility Mortgagee. Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant or any other Person for any consequent loss of
principal or interest on funds held in the Escrow Account. Furthermore, neither
Landlord nor any Facility Mortgagee shall bear responsibility for the financial
condition of, nor any act or omission by, any Lending Institution at which
the
Escrow Account is located. The interest from deposits into the Escrow Account
shall be retained in the Escrow Account to be applied in accordance with the
terms of this Section
3.3.
3.3.3
Use
of Deposits.
Tenant shall pay any and all Impositions and insurance premiums
when due and regardless of whether or not the funds then held in the Escrow
Account are sufficient to reimburse Tenant therefor. The sums deposited by
Tenant under this Section 3.3
shall be held by Landlord
or any Facility Mortgagee, and, provided that
no default or Event of Default by Tenant exists hereunder, shall be used to
reimburse Tenant for any Impositions and/or insurance premiums, as applicable,
paid by Tenant, upon delivery by Tenant to Landlord or such Facility Mortgagee,
as applicable, of documentation evidencing the payment of such Impositions
and/or insurance premiums, which reimbursement shall be provided within five
(5)
Business Days after the presentation of such evidence (if Landlord is holding
the Escrow Account) or within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of
the appropriate reimbursement funds from the Facility Mortgagee that is holding
the Escrow Account (if a Facility Mortgagee is holding the Escrow Account).
If
Tenant fails to pay any Impositions or insurance premiums when due and owing
hereunder to the applicable taxing authority or insurance carrier, Landlord
or
any Facility Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, pay such Impositions
or insurance premiums from any funds in the Escrow Account. Upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default, Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee may apply any funds
held in the Escrow Account to cure such Event of Default or on account any
damages suffered or incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Relative
to
the foregoing, provided that (i) no default or Event of Default by Tenant exists
hereunder, (ii) Tenant provides to Landlord, not less than twenty (20) days
in
advance of the applicable due date, (x) clear and detailed instructions relative
to the payee, place, amount and required manner of payment of the Impositions
and/or insurance premiums referenced above and (y) originals or copies, as
necessary, of the applicable invoices or bills and (iii) there are sufficient
funds in the Escrow Account to pay the applicable invoices
or bills, Landlord agrees to make, or if a Facility Mortgagee is holding the
Escrow Account Landlord agrees to cooperate reasonably with Tenant to attempt
to
arrange for the Facility Mortgagee to make, direct payment of such invoices
and
bills from the Escrow Account, rather than require Tenant first to make payment
thereof and then seek reimbursement.
13
3.3.4
Deficits. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant if any
deposits held by Landlord under this Section 3.3 are not sufficient
to reimburse Tenant for any Imposition or insurance premium paid by Tenant.
Landlord may change its estimate of any Imposition or insurance premium for
any
period on the basis of a change in an assessment or tax rate or of a prior
miscalculation or for any other good faith reason. In such event, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord the amount in excess of the sums previously deposited
with
Landlord for the applicable period within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request
therefor.
3.3.5
Transfers;
Refund.
In connection with any assignment of the Landlord’s interest under
this Lease, the assigning Landlord or any predecessor shall have the right,
and
the obligation, to transfer all amounts deposited pursuant to the provisions
of
this Section 3.3 and
still in its possession to such assignee and, upon such transfer, the assigning
Landlord or any such predecessor, as the case may be, transferring the deposits
shall thereupon be completely released from all liability with respect to such
deposits so transferred, and Tenant shall look solely to said assignee in
reference thereto. As of the Expiration Date, any sums held by Landlord under
this Section 3.3 shall
be returned to Tenant, only as and when the conditions of Section 3.4.3 for the return
of the Security Deposit have been met and provided that any and all Impositions
or insurance premiums due and owing hereunder have been paid in
full.
3.4 Security
Deposit.
3.4.1
Cash
Security Deposit;
Application. Unless Landlord has made the LC Election, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord upon the delivery of this Lease an amount equal to the
Required Number of Months of Fixed Rent (subject to increase and decrease as
described in Sections 3.4.3
and 3.4.4
below,
the “Security Amount”)
as security (together
with any Coverage Based Security Deposit under
Section 8.2.5, the
“Security
Deposit”) for
the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term, provision,
covenant and condition of this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain the
whole or any part of the Security Deposit (whether by drawing upon any Letter
of
Credit or applying any cash Security Deposit held by it) for the payment of
any
Rent in default or for any other sum that Landlord may expend or be required
to
expend by reason of Tenant’s default, including any damages or deficiency in the
reletting of the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue before
or
after summary proceedings or other reentry
by
Landlord. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit
and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with its other funds. In case
of
a sale or transfer of the Premises by Landlord, or any cessation of Landlord’s
interest therein, whether in whole or in part, Landlord may pay over or refund
to Tenant any unapplied part of the Security Deposit (or, in the case of any
such partial transfer or cessation, such portion as Landlord allocates to such
part of the Premises, in its reasonable discretion) or transfer any Letter
of
Credit if the LC Election has been made, with any fees incident to such transfer
being paid by Tenant (which transfer, in the case of any such partial transfer
or cessation, shall require Tenant to cause any Letter of Credit to be reissued
as separate Letters of Credit satisfying the requirements of Section 3.4.2 as to the
remaining Leased Properties) to the successor owner of the Premises, and
from
and
after such payment or refund, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability with
respect thereto. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to every
subsequent sale or transfer of the Premises or any part thereof.
14
3.4.2
LC
Election.
At any time, and from time to time, Landlord or Tenant may elect
(such election, a “LC
Election”), in its sole discretion and by written notice to the other
party, to cause Tenant to post the Security Deposit in the form of an
irrevocable, standby Letter of Credit with a face value of the full Security
Amount (the “Letter of
Credit”). Within ten (10) days after notice of an LC Election, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements of
this
Section 3.4.2 in the
place and stead of the cash Security Deposit, whereupon Landlord shall return
any unapplied portion of a cash Security Deposit then held by Landlord. The
Letter of Credit shall: (i) be in form and substance acceptable to Landlord
in
its reasonable discretion; (ii) name Landlord as its sole beneficiary; (iii)
expressly allow Landlord to draw upon it at any time, or from time to time,
in
whole or in part, by delivering to the issuer, at an office of the issuer
located in New York, New York, Louisville, Kentucky or Chicago, Illinois, a
written notice that Landlord is entitled to draw thereon pursuant to the terms
of this Lease; (iv) be issued by an FDIC-insured Lending Institution that is
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, but shall in all events have a credit
rating of “AA” (or the equivalent) or higher from one of the Rating Agencies;
and (v) be expressly unconditional, irrevocable and fully transferable. The
Letter of Credit (and any renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a
term
of not less than one (1) year. Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time,
as
necessary, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit
not
less than thirty (30) days prior to its stated expiration date so that it will
remain in full force and effect until the later of sixty (60) days after the
last day of the Term or the date on which Tenant’s obligations under this Lease
are satisfied in full. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement
at
least 30 days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit,
Tenant may immediately draw upon such Letter of Credit. If the credit ratings
test set forth in subsection (iv) above shall at any time cease to be satisfied
as to the issuer of the Letter of Credit, Landlord may, upon five (5) days
written notice to Tenant, draw upon such Letter of Credit. Without limitation
of
Landlord’s right thereafter to make a LC Election, Landlord shall hold the
proceeds of any such draw upon the Letter of Credit as a portion of the Security
Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Any renewal of or replacement
for
the original or any subsequent Letter of Credit shall be in an amount not less
than the Security Amount and shall otherwise meet the requirements for the
original Letter of Credit as set forth above.
3.4.3
Increase;
Restoration of
Security Deposit. Tenant, within ten (10) days after demand
therefor made by Landlord to Tenant during the sixth (6th) Lease
Year and
during every fifth (5th) Lease
Year
thereafter during the Term (e.g., the 11th
Lease Year, the
16th
Lease Year (if
the first Extended Term is exercised), etc.), shall deposit with Landlord cash
in, or increase the face amount of the Letter of Credit by, the amount necessary
to ensure that the Security Deposit hereunder (exclusive of any Coverage Based
Security Deposit) then equals the Required Number of Months’ annual Fixed Rent
based upon the increased Fixed Rent due hereunder during such Lease Year. In
the
event the Security Deposit (or any portion thereof) is applied (or drawn upon
from time to time in full or partial amounts in the case of the Letter of Credit
and any renewals or replacements thereof) by Landlord on account of any Event(s)
of Default by Tenant hereunder or as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 3.4, Tenant shall
replenish said Security Deposit in full, within ten (10) days after demand
therefor, by paying to Landlord the amount so applied or, in the case of the
Letter of Credit, restoring the Letter(s)
of Credit to its (their) full amount. Tenant’s failure to timely increase the
Security Deposit, or to timely replenish and restore the Security Deposit,
after
demand as aforesaid shall be an Event of Default. If: (i) no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing hereunder and (ii) Tenant has fully performed
and
satisfied all of its obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation
and as applicable, its obligations relative to any Operational Transfer(s)),
then the Security Deposit, or the remaining unapplied portion thereof, shall
be
paid or returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the expiration or
termination of this Lease and the surrender of the Premises to Landlord in
the
condition required hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord may retain an
amount, as it shall reasonably determine, to secure the payment of any Rent,
the
amount of which Landlord is then unable to determine finally (and Landlord
shall
return any such retained amount to Tenant promptly following the final
determination of such Rent amount and the full payment to Landlord of such
Rent). The Security Deposit shall not be deemed an advance payment of Rent
or a
measure of Landlord’s damages for any default hereunder by Tenant, nor shall it
be a bar or defense to any action that Landlord may at any time commence against
Tenant.
15
3.4.4
Adjustments.
Following any change in the Required Number of Months, upon
Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall either refund a portion of the cash
Security Deposit or allow Tenant to exchange a Letter of Credit so that the
amount of the cash Security Deposit (exclusive of interest earned thereon)
or
the Letter of Credit is equal to the Required Number of Months multiplied by
the
then-current monthly Fixed Rent.
3.4.4.1
Based
on Cash Flow.
If (i) the Coverage Ratio for the most recent Test Period is
greater than 1.35 to 1.00, (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder, and (iii) no Lease Guaranty has been accepted by Landlord
pursuant to Section 3.4.4.2,
then the Required
Number of Months shall be twelve (12).
3.4.4.2
Based
on Guaranty.
If (i) the Coverage Ratio for the most recent Test Period is
greater than 1.15 to 1.00, (ii) the Portfolio Coverage Ratio for the most recent
Test Period is greater than 1.15 to 1.00, (iii) no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing hereunder, (iv) Guarantor’s net worth (determined in
accordance with GAAP) is at least as high as on the date hereof and Guarantor’s
other financial indicia are at least as good (in the reasonable judgment of
Landlord) as on the date hereof as of (a) the date of the last financial
reporting on Guarantor delivered pursuant to this Lease and (b) the date of
the
notice given pursuant to clause (vi), (v) Landlord has received from Tenant
a
notice requesting that the Required Number of Months be reduced and containing
backup for Tenant’s compliance with clauses (i) through (iv), and (vi) Landlord
has received from Guarantor an executed Lease Guaranty, then (x) Landlord shall
notify Tenant that it has accepted such Lease Guaranty within 30 days of receipt
and (y) following such notice the Required Number of Months shall be three
(3).
3.5
Net
Lease. The
Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord, free of all Impositions, utility
charges, operating expenses, insurance premiums or any other charges or expenses
in connection with the Premises, without any rights of deduction, set-off or
abatement, so that this Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the
installments of Fixed Rent, throughout the Term. This Lease is intended to
be
and shall be construed as an absolutely net lease pursuant to which Landlord
shall not, under any circumstances or conditions, whether presently existing
or
hereafter arising, and whether foreseen or unforeseen by the parties, be
required
to make any payment or expenditure of any kind whatsoever or be under any other
obligation or liability whatsoever, except as expressly set forth
herein.

4.
Impositions.
4.1
Payment
of Impositions.
Subject to Section 13
relating
to
permitted contests, Tenant shall pay all Impositions payable during the Term
as
set forth in Section 3.2.1
and for any tax period
occurring during the Term, irrespective of whether
the Impositions for such tax period are due and payable after the Term. Tenant’s
obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the
date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part
thereof. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of
any
Imposition paid by Tenant during the Term, the same shall be paid over to or
retained by Tenant but only if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder
and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall exist hereunder, such refund
shall be paid over to and retained by Landlord. If Tenant nevertheless receives
such refund, Tenant shall, upon receipt, immediately pay such refund over to
Landlord in full. Any such funds retained by Landlord due to an Event of Default
shall be applied to amounts due and owing to Landlord under this Lease, as
Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion, and, if funds remain after
such
application, such funds shall continue to be held by Landlord for application
on
account of additional amounts due and owing to Landlord under this Lease as
the
same arise. In the event any Governmental Authority classifies any property
covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant shall file any personal
property tax returns that are required with respect thereto. Subject to the
terms of Section 13,
Tenant may, upon notice
to Landlord, at Tenant’s option and at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute tax contests to effect
a
reduction of real estate or personal property assessments and Landlord, at
Tenant’s expense as aforesaid, shall cooperate with Tenant in such protest,
appeal, or other action to the extent required by law and reasonably requested
by Tenant.
4.2
Notice
of Impositions.
Landlord or Landlord’s designee shall use reasonable efforts to
give prompt notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder
of
which Landlord at any time has knowledge (which notice shall be deemed properly
given if given pursuant to Section 33 hereof or by an
e-mail notification to Tenant provided, however, that any failure by Landlord
to
provide such notice to Tenant shall in no way relieve Tenant of its obligation
to timely pay the Impositions. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, not more than
five (5) days prior to the due date of each Imposition, copies of the invoice
for such Imposition, the check delivered for payment thereof and an original
receipt evidencing such payment or other proof of payment satisfactory to
Landlord.
4.3
Adjustment
of Impositions.
Any Imposition imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during
which the Term terminates or expires shall be adjusted and prorated between
Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after
such termination or expiration, and Tenant’s obligation to pay its prorated
share thereof shall survive such termination or expiration.
5.
No
Affect or Impairment,
etc. The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not
be affected or impaired by reason of (i) any damage to, or destruction of,
any
Leased Property or any portion thereof, from whatever cause, or any Condemnation
of any Leased Property or any portion thereof (except as otherwise expressly
and
specifically provided in
Section
15 or Section 16), (ii) the
interruption or discontinuation of any service or utility servicing any Leased
Property, (iii) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon,
Tenant’s use of any Leased Property, or any portion thereof, due to the
interference with such use by any Person or eviction by paramount title, (iv)
any claim that Tenant has or might have against Landlord on account of any
breach of warranty or default by Landlord under this Lease or any other
agreement by which Landlord is bound, (v) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding
up
or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of
Landlord, (iv) the revocation, suspension or non-renewal of any license, permit,
approval or other Authorization, (vii) any withholding, non-payment, reduction
or other adverse change respecting any Facility Provider Agreement or other
Third Party Payor Program, (viii) any admissions hold under any Third Party
Payor Program, or (ix) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to
any
of the foregoing other than a discharge of Tenant from any such obligations
as a
matter of law. Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any
occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law
(x) to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender any Leased
Property or any portion thereof, or (y) that would entitle Tenant to any
abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable
by Tenant hereunder. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall
be
separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other
sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events
unless and to the extent the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated
by
termination of this Lease as to any Leased Property other than by reason of
an
Event of Default.

Property.
6.1
Ownership
of the Premises.
Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are the property of Landlord

upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the case of any easement
or
other rights that are appurtenant to any Leased Property, Tenant agrees that
Landlord does not make any representation or warranty relative to Landlord’s
title thereto or whether such appurtenances are encumbered, and Landlord shall
not be obligated to discharge any liens or encumbrances with respect to, or
otherwise to defend, Landlord’s right, title and interest, if any, in any such
appurtenances. Tenant agrees that such appurtenances shall constitute Permitted
Encumbrances, as to which Tenant shall have the obligations set forth in Section 8.2.6 and Section
23.
6.2
Tenant’s
Personal Property.
Tenant shall provide and maintain during the entire Term all
such
Tenant’s Personal Property and Landlord’s Personal Property as shall be
necessary to maintain the Authorizations in effect and to operate each Facility
in compliance with all licensure and certification requirements, in compliance
with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements and otherwise
in accordance with customary practice in the industry for the Primary Intended
Use of each Leased Property. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord
in its sole discretion, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease
as it applies to any Leased Property, (i) Tenant’s Personal Property that is to
be transferred to Landlord pursuant to Section 35 below shall include
all of the foregoing required Tenant’s Personal Property, and any other Tenant’s
Personal Property (excluding certain specific items of Tenant’s Personal
Property described in Section
35 below), in high quality condition and
(ii)
Landlord’s Personal Property shall be returned to Landlord, and left at or in
such Leased Property, in high quality condition.
18
6.3 Landlord’s
Personal
Property. Tenant may, from time to time, in Tenant’s reasonable
discretion, without notice to or approval of Landlord, sell or dispose of any
item of Landlord’s Personal Property; provided, however, that, unless such item
is functionally obsolete, Tenant shall promptly replace such item with an item
of similar quality, use and functionality, and any such replacement item (other
than items that, by the terms of Section 35 below, are to be
retained by Tenant upon the expiration or termination of this Lease) shall,
for
purposes of this Lease, continue to be treated as part of “Landlord’s Personal
Property.” Tenant shall, promptly upon Landlord’s request from time to time,
provide such information as Landlord may reasonably request relative to any
sales, dispositions or replacements of Landlord’s Personal Property pursuant to
this Section
6.3.
7. Condition
and Use of Each
Leased Property.
7.1
Condition
of Each Leased
Property. Tenant acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession
of each Leased Property. Tenant is leasing each Leased Property “AS IS” “WHERE
IS” and Tenant waives
any claim or action against Landlord in respect of the condition of each Leased
Property. LANDLORD MAKES NO
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF ANY LEASED
PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY
PARTICULAR USE OR
PURPOSE OR THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP
THEREIN,
LATENT OR PATENT, OR OTHERWISE, IT BEING
AGREED THAT ALL
SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT EACH
LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN
INSPECTED BY TENANT AND THAT TENANT HAS FOUND EACH LEASED PROPERTY TO BE IN
GOOD ORDER AND
REPAIR AND SATISFACTORY FOR ITS PURPOSES
HEREUNDER.
7.2
Use of Each Leased
Property.
7.2.1
Primary
Intended Use.
During the entire Term, Tenant shall use each Facility (including,
without limitation, the Leased Improvements thereon) solely for its Primary
Intended Use (and shall not change, or consent to or acquiesce in the change
of,
such Primary Intended Use) and shall operate each Facility in a manner
consistent with a high quality healthcare facility and, if any Third Party
Payor
Programs apply to such Facility, sound reimbursement principles under any such
Third Party Payor Programs. No use shall be made or permitted to be made of
any
Leased Property, and no acts shall be done, that would cause the cancellation of
any insurance policy covering such Leased Property or any part thereof, nor
shall Tenant sell or otherwise provide to occupants or patients therein, or
permit to be kept, used or sold in or about such Leased Property, any article
that may be prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the standard form of
fire
insurance policies, or any other insurance policies required to be carried
hereunder, or fire underwriters’ regulations.
7.2.2
Authorizations
Appurtenant.
The Authorizations for any Facility shall, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, relate and apply exclusively to such Facility, and Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that, subject to all applicable Legal Requirements,
the
Authorizations are appurtenant to the Facilities to which they apply, both
during and following
the termination or expiration of the Term. In jurisdictions where any
Authorization(s) is/are issued to a Tenant or its subtenant, as the Facility
operator, Tenant agrees that (i) such Authorizations shall nevertheless remain
the property of Landlord and be held by Tenant or such subtenant, in trust
for
the benefit of Landlord pursuant to a revocable, temporary license that may
be
revoked by Landlord at any time, and (ii) in connection with an Operational
Transfer or as otherwise required by Landlord, Tenant shall cooperate with
Landlord, in accordance with Section 37.1 hereof, to turn
over all of Tenant’s rights in connection with such Authorizations to Landlord
or Successor Operator, as applicable. This Section 7.2.2 shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
19
7.3
Authorization
Collateral.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant hereby
grants to Landlord a first priority security interest in, and lien upon, all
Authorizations issued to, leased or licensed to, or held by, Tenant, including,
but not limited to, Tenant’s interest in and rights under all Facility Provider
Agreements, with respect to the Facilities (collectively, the “Authorization Collateral”) to
secure the performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease,
including, but not limited to, its obligation to engage in, assist with and
facilitate any Operational Transfer. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord
that attached hereto on Schedule 7.3 is a detailed
list and description of all of the Authorization Collateral. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not (under any
circumstances) grant any lien upon, security interest in and to or otherwise
pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, the
Authorization Collateral to any Person, irrespective of the priority of such
security interest, pledge or hypothecation. The security interest and lien
granted by this Section 7.3
shall be in addition
to any lien of Landlord that may now or at any time
hereafter be provided by law. The provisions of Section 21.1.1.1 below shall
be applicable to the security interest and lien referenced in this Section 7.3.
7.4

of Easements, etc.
Landlord may, from time to time, with respect to any Leased
Property: (i) grant easements, covenants and restrictions, and other rights
in
the nature of easements, covenants and restrictions, (ii) release existing
easements, covenants and restrictions, or other rights in the nature of
easements, covenants or restrictions, that are for the benefit of such Leased
Property, (iii) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of such Leased Property
for road, highway or other public purposes, (iv) execute petitions to have
such
Leased Property annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district, (v)
execute amendments to any easements, covenants and restrictions affecting such
Leased Property and (vi) execute and deliver to any Person any instrument
appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and
transfers (to the extent of its interests in such Leased Property) with Tenant’s
reasonable consent provided that it shall be unreasonable for Tenant to withhold
its consent if such easement or other instrument or action contemplated by
this
Section 7.4 does not
unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Tenant on such Leased
Property. If any easement or other instrument or action contemplated by this
Section 7.4 unreasonably
interferes with the conduct of business by the applicable Tenant(s) at a Leased
Property, Landlord shall obtain Tenant’s prior written consent to such proposed
easement, instrument or action, which consent may be granted or withheld by
Tenant in its sole discretion (and which consent shall be deemed given if not
expressly denied by Tenant, in writing, within five (5) Business Days of
Tenant’s receipt of such request).

transaction with an Affiliate of any Tenant or any of the partners, members

any Affiliate of any Tenant which provide for management fees of up to five

8.2.5
Financial
Covenants.
The following financial covenants shall be
met
throughout the Term of this Lease:
8.2.5.1
Coverage
Ratio.
Tenant shall maintain, for each twelve (12) month period ending
at
the end of a fiscal quarter of Tenant (each such 12 month period ending as
aforesaid, a “Test Period”),
a Coverage Ratio with
respect to each Facility of not less than 1.0 to
1.0, provided, however, that, for each Test Period that ends during the First
Lease Year, the Coverage Ratio with respect to each Facility shall be not less
than 0.8 to 1.0 and for each Test Period that ends during the second Lease
Year,
the Coverage Ration with respect to each Facility shall be not less than 0.9
to
1.0.
8.2.5.2
Portfolio
Coverage Ratio.
Tenant shall maintain, for each Test Period, a Portfolio Coverage
Ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0; provided, however, that, (i) for each Test
Period that ends during the First Lease Year, the Portfolio Coverage Ratio
shall
be not less than 0.8 to 1.0, (ii) for each Test Period that ends during the
second Lease Year, the Portfolio Coverage Ratio shall be not less than 0.9
to
1.0 and (iii) for each Test Period that ends during the third Lease Year, the
Portfolio Coverage Ratio shall be not less than 1.0 to 1.0.
If
Tenant
fails to maintain a Coverage Ratio and/or Portfolio Coverage Ratio that
satisfy(ies) the above referenced requirements for a particular Test Period,
Tenant shall not be considered in default of this Section 8.2.5 provided and on
the condition that all of the following conditions and requirements are
met:
(i) If
such Test Period ends during the Initial Term, Tenant has not failed to maintain
a Coverage Ratio and/or Portfolio Coverage Ratio that satisfy(ies) the above
referenced requirements with respect to four (4) other previous Test Periods
ending during the Initial Term, or, if such test Period ends during an Extended
term, Tenant has not failed to maintain a Coverage Ratio and/or Portfolio
Coverage Ratio that satisfy(ies) the above referenced requirements with respect
to any other previous Test Period ending during such Extended Term.
(ii) Within
ten (10) days after receipt of a written notice from Landlord specifying that
Tenant has failed to maintain a Coverage Ratio and/or Portfolio Coverage Ratio
that satisfy(ies) the above referenced requirements, Tenant deposits with
Landlord an additional Security Deposit (herein, a “Coverage Based Security Deposit”),
in cash or in the
form of a Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements
of Section 3.4 above.
Such Coverage Based Security Deposit shall be in the amount by which the Cash
Flow from each of the Facilities would have needed to be higher in order for
both the Coverage Ratio and the Portfolio Coverage Ratio, for such Test Period,
to have satisfied the above referenced requirements.
(iii)
In the event
Landlord holds a Coverage Based Security Deposit pursuant to this Section 8.2.5 and, for a
subsequent Test period, the above referenced Coverage Ratio and Portfolio
Coverage Ratio requirements are satisfied, Landlord shall, promptly after
receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the foregoing and provided no
Event of Default exists, return to Tenant the Coverage Based Security Deposit
portion of the Security Deposit, which return shall not preclude Tenant from
thereafter making a further Coverage Based Security Deposit if the Coverage
Ratio and/or Portfolio Coverage Ratio requirements referenced above are not
satisfied as to a subsequent Test Period.
26
(iv) In
the event Landlord holds a Coverage Based Security Deposit, then, as to each
subsequent Test period until such deposit is returned to Tenant as provided
in
subsection (iii) above, the amount by which the Cash Flow from each of the
Facilities would have needed to be higher in order for both the Coverage Ratio
and the Portfolio Coverage Ratio, for such Test Period, to have satisfied the
above referenced requirements shall be calculated, and, if such amount exceeds
the amount of the Coverage Based Security Deposit then being held by Landlord,
Tenant shall deliver an additional Coverage Based Security Deposit to Landlord
in he amount of such excess.
(v) Landlord
shall be entitled to treat any Coverage Based Security Deposit as part of the
security Deposit and shall have the same rights and protections with respect
thereto (including, without limitation, rights to draw upon any Letter of Credit
deposited under this Section
8.2.5) as it has with respect to the portion of the Security Deposit that
was deposited pursuant to Section 3.4.
8.2.6

Tenant shall, at its own cost, fully observe,
perform and comply with all Permitted Encumbrances as the same apply to or

termination of any Permitted Encumbrance applicable to or binding upon Landlord
or the Premises.

in
compliance with any Legal Requirement, any license, permit, approval or other
Authorization or any certification for reimbursement under any Facility Provider

Repair.
Tenant, at its sole expense, shall keep each Leased Property
(and
Tenant’s Personal Property) in good and safe order and repair, except for
ordinary wear and tear and damage by Casualty and Condemnation (whether or
not
the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant’s use, any prior use, the
elements or the age of such Leased
Property, Tenant’s Personal Property, or any portion thereof). Without
limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall promptly make all necessary and
appropriate repairs and replacements (capital and otherwise) to each Facility,
of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior, structural or
non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising
by
reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed
or otherwise), including, but not limited to, any roof repairs or replacements
or parking lot repairs or replacements, such that each Leased Property is
maintained in a high quality operating and structural condition for use for
its
Primary Intended Use. Tenant shall maintain, repair and replace each Facility
such that no deferred maintenance items exist at, in or on any Leased Property
at any time and all systems, components, and elements (structural and otherwise)
have a useful life determined in the exercise of Landlord’s reasonable judgment
that exceeds the then applicable Expiration Date by not less than three (3)
years (and not less than seven (7) years as to structural items). Tenant
shall
have in place service and maintenance contracts with duly licensed contractors
or repair services providing for regular maintenance and repair of any and
all
major systems serving each Leased Property, including, but not limited to,
the
HVAC systems, life safety systems, plumbing systems and elevator and conveyor
systems. Landlord may from time to time as to any one or more Leased Properties,
and at Tenant’s sole expense (but no more than once every three (3) years at
Tenant’s expense), cause an engineer designated by Landlord, in its sole
discretion, to inspect one or more Leased Properties and issue a report (a
“Leased Property Condition
Report”) with respect to the condition of any such Leased Properties.
Tenant shall, at its own expense, make any and all repairs or replacements
recommended by such Leased Property Condition Report. All repairs shall be
made

relating to such work. Landlord shall not under any circumstances be required
to
repair, replace, build or rebuild any improvements on any Leased Property,
or to
make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of
any
nature or description to any Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary,
structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure
whatsoever with respect thereto, or to maintain any Leased Property in any
way.
Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs
at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law currently in effect or hereafter
enacted.
9.1.2
Notice
of
Non-Responsibility. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease,
nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by Landlord shall
be
construed as: (i) constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express
or
implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to,
or
for the performance of, any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials
or other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or
demolition of or to any Leased Property or any part thereof; or (ii) giving
Tenant any right, power or permission to contract for or permit the performance
of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property
in
such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Landlord in respect
thereof or to make any agreement that might create, or in any way be the basis
for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the
estate of Landlord in any Leased Property, or any portion thereof. Landlord
may
post, at Tenant’s sole cost, such notices of non-responsibility upon, or of
record against, any Leased Property to prevent the lien of any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer, materialmen or vendor providing work, services or
supplies to Tenant from attaching against the Premises. Tenant agrees to
promptly execute and record any such notice of non-responsibility at Tenant’s
sole cost.
28
9.1.3
Vacation
and Surrender.
Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the
Term as to any Leased Property, vacate and surrender the applicable Leased
Property to Landlord in a high quality, broom clean condition consistent with
the requirements of Section
9.1.1, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as
permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease and except for damage
from
Casualty or Condemnation. Each Leased Property so returned to Landlord shall
include any and all Alterations, which shall be and remain the property of
Landlord as part of such Leased Property (except for Alterations that Landlord
requests, in writing, that Tenant remove, which Alterations shall be promptly
and completely removed by Tenant). Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s sole cost,
any damage to a Leased Property resulting from Tenant’s vacation from or
surrender of such Leased Property and/or the removal of any Alterations
therefrom, whether effected by Tenant or Landlord.
9.2
Encroachments.
If any of the Leased Improvements on any Leased Property shall,
at
any time, encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjacent to such
Leased Property, then, promptly upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall,
at
its expense, subject to its right to contest the existence of any encroachment
and, in such case, in the event of any adverse final determination, either
(i)
obtain valid waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages
resulting from each such encroachment, whether the same shall affect Landlord
or
Tenant, or (ii) make such changes in the Leased Improvements, and take such
other actions, as Tenant, in the good faith exercise of its judgment deems
reasonably practicable, to remove such encroachment, including, if necessary,
the alteration of any of the Leased Improvements, and in any event take all
such
actions as may be necessary in order to be able to continue the operation of
the
Leased Improvements for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner
and
to the extent the Leased Improvements were operated prior to the assertion
of
such encroachment. Any such alteration shall be made in conformity with the
applicable requirements of Section 11. Tenant’s
obligations under this Section
9.2 shall be in addition to and shall in no way discharge or diminish any
obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance and
Tenant shall not be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Landlord
under any such policy of title or other insurance.

Within
thirty (30)
days following the end of each Lease Year (or of any partial Lease Year
resulting from the expiration or termination of this Lease) ( such Lease Year
(or partial Lease Year, if applicable), the “Subject Lease Year”), Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord a report (a “Capital Expenditures Report”),
certified as true,
correct and complete by Tenant pursuant to an
Officer’s Certificate, summarizing and describing in reasonable detail all of
the Capital Expenditures made by Tenant during such Subject Lease Year and
the
two (2) Lease Years preceding it (such Subject Lease Year, together with the
two
(2) Lease Years preceding it, the “Subject Three Lease Years”),
on both an aggregate
basis and broken down for each Leased Property, and
such receipts and other information as Landlord may reasonably request relative
to the Capital Expenditures made by Tenant during such Subject Three Lease
Years. Commencing with the third (3rd) Lease
Year,
if, as to a particular Leased Property and a particular Subject Lease Year,
the
sum of (i) the amount of the Capital Expenditures so made by Tenant at such
Leased Property during the applicable Subject Three Lease Years and so reported
to Landlord, plus (ii) the amount of any Capital Expenditures Deposits
previously made by Tenant with respect to such Leased Property and such Subject
Three Lease Years, and minus (iii) the amount of any payments made to Tenant
from the Capital Expenditures Account with respect to such Leased Property
and
such Subject Three Lease Years (such sum, as to a particular Leased Property
and
a particular Subject Lease Year, the “Actual Leased
Property Three Lease Years
Capital Expenditures Amount”) is less than the sum of the Required Leased
Property Annual Capital Expenditures Amounts for the Lease Years included in
such Subject Three Lease Years (such sum, as to a particular Leased Property

Three Lease
Years Capital Expenditures Amount”), Tenant

under the sole dominion
and control of Landlord (or any Facility
Mortgagee) an amount equal to the amount by which such Required Leased Property
Three Lease Years Capital Expenditures Amount exceeds such Actual Leased
Property Three Lease Years Capital Expenditures Amount. If, as to a particular
Leased Property and a particular Subject Lease Year, the applicable Actual
Leased Property Three Lease Years Capital Expenditures Amount exceeds the
applicable Required Leased Property Three Lease Years Capital Expenditures
Amount, then, provided no default or Event of Default by Tenant exists
hereunder, within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s presentation of its
Capital Expenditures
Report for such Subject Lease Year reflecting such greater expenditure at such
Leased Property (if Landlord is holding the Capital Expenditures Account) or
within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of the necessary funds
from the Facility Mortgagee that is holding the Capital Expenditures Account
(if
a Facility Mortgagee is holding the Capital Expenditures Account), Landlord
shall pay to Tenant the lesser of (a) the amount by which the applicable Actual
Leased Property Three Lease Years Capital Expenditures Amount so made by Tenant
at such Leased Property and so reported to Landlord exceeds the applicable
Required Three Lease Years Capital Expenditures Amount or (b) the net amount
of
funds in the Capital Expenditures Account that are attributable to Capital
Expenditures Deposits previously made with respect to such Leased Property.
Attached hereto as Schedule
11.3.1 is an example of the application of this Section 11.3.1.
34
11.3.2
Capital
Expenditures
Account. In addition to any other deposit required under this
Lease, on the date hereof, Tenant shall make an initial deposit of $80,000
into
the Capital Expenditures Account. The Capital Expenditures Account shall be
maintained with a Lending Institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or
with any Facility Mortgagee, and, for purposes of Section 11.3.1.2(b) above and
the other terms of this Lease, Landlord shall, with respect to each Capital
Expenditures Deposit, keep records allocating such deposit to the appropriate
Leased Property(ies) hereunder. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any
other Person for any decline in the value of the funds held in the Capital
Expenditures Account. Furthermore, neither Landlord nor any Facility Mortgagee
shall bear responsibility for the financial condition of, nor any act or
omission by, any Lending Institution at which the Capital Expenditures Account
is located. The interest from deposits into the Capital Expenditures Account
shall be retained in the Capital Expenditures Account to be applied in
accordance with the terms of this Section 11.3. Tenant hereby
grants to Landlord a first priority security interest in the Capital
Expenditures Account pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) of the State whose
laws
govern the perfection of such security interest, and the provisions of Section 21.1.1.1 below shall
be applicable to such security interest. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee may apply any funds held in the
Capital Expenditures Account to cure such Event of Default or on account of
any
damages suffered or incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. In connection
with any assignment of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the assigning
Landlord or any predecessor shall have the right, and the obligation, to
transfer all amounts in the Capital Expenditures Account and still in its
possession or control to such assignee and, upon such transfer, the assigning
Landlord or any such predecessor, as the case may be, transferring any such
amounts shall thereupon be completely released from all liability with respect
to such amounts so transferred, and Tenant shall look solely to said assignee
in
reference thereto.
11.3.3
Disposition
of Capital
Expenditures Account. As described above, within thirty (30) days
following the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver
to
Landlord a Capital Expenditures Report with respect to the Lease Year or partial
Lease Year immediately preceding such expiration or termination, and, if
applicable, make a deposit into the Capital Expenditures Account. If, on the
basis of such Capital Expenditures Report, Tenant is entitled to a payment
as
described in Section 11.3.1
above, then, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in such
Section 11.3.1, such
payment shall be due and payable to Tenant only as and when the conditions
of
Section 3.4.3 for the
return of the Security Deposit have been met. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, all funds
in the Capital Expenditures Account (including, without limitation,
any funds that are required to be deposited therein by Tenant with respect
to
the Lease Year or partial Lease Year immediately preceding such expiration
or
termination) shall automatically and without further action of the parties
become the property of Landlord, without any obligation on Landlord’s part to
credit Tenant in any manner therefor. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant
under this Section 11.3
shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease.
35
11.3.4
Certain
Divisions and
Calculations. In the event that this Lease is terminated as to one
or more Leased Properties (but not all of the Premises) on account of any event,
circumstance or transaction to which Section 17.9 or Section
40 is applicable,
then, for purposes of dividing any amounts then held in the Escrow Account
or
the Capital Expenditures Account between the amounts that will continue to
be
held under this Lease and the amounts that will be transferred to corresponding
accounts under a New Lease entered into pursuant to Section 40 hereof or for any
other purpose under this Lease, any such amounts so held in the Escrow Account
or the Capital Expenditures Account shall be allocated to and among each
terminated, and each non-terminated, Leased Property as determined by Landlord,
in its sole discretion if any such termination results from an Event of Default
and otherwise in its reasonable discretion. In addition, in the event of (i)
any
termination of this Lease as to one or more Leased Properties (but not all
of
the Premises) on account of any New Lease under Section 40 or (ii) any
combination of leases pursuant to Section 39, calculations of
the applicable amounts of the Required Leased Property Annual Capital
Expenditures Amount, Actual Leased Property Three Lease Years Capital
Expenditures Amount, required Capital Expenditures Deposits and similar items
shall be made with respect to the Transferred Premises (in the case of Section 40) or the combined
properties under the Section 39 Lease (in the case of Section 39) the same as if all
of such Transferred Premises or combined properties, as applicable, had been
under the New Lease or Section 39 Lease relating thereto, as applicable, during
any partial Lease Year preceding the Property Transfer Date (in the case of
Section 40) or Section
39 Date (in the case of Section
39) applicable thereto.
11.4
Annual
Capital Expenditure
Budget. On or prior to January 31 of each calendar year, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, a budget (the “Annual Capital
Expenditure Budget”)
setting forth Tenant’s reasonable estimate of the capital repairs,
replacements and improvements to the Premises that Tenant anticipates will
be
necessary in such calendar year to comply with the maintenance, repair and
replacement obligations contained in Section 9 hereof and maintain
the Leased Properties in a high quality condition, and, on or prior to the
December 15 preceding the commencement of such calendar year, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, a preliminary draft of the aforesaid
Annual Capital Expenditure Budget for such calendar year. Tenant shall perform
any and all capital repairs, replacements or improvements contemplated by the
Annual Capital Expenditure Budget within twenty-four (24) months after the
commencement of the calendar year to which such Annual Capital Expenditure
Budget relates. If Tenant has not completed such capital repairs, replacements
or improvements within such twenty-four (24) month period, Landlord may, but
shall not be obligated to, complete such capital repairs, replacements or
improvements, in which case Landlord may reimburse itself for the cost of any
such work by withdrawing funds from the Capital Expenditures Account sufficient
to pay for such capital repairs, replacements or improvements, and Tenant shall,
within ten (10) days following demand therefor by Landlord, (i) restore to
the
Capital Expenditures Account any amount so withdrawn therefrom and paid to
Landlord and (ii) to the extent there were insufficient funds in the Capital
Expenditures Account fully to reimburse Landlord
for the cost of such work, pay to Landlord any remaining unreimbursed amount.
In
the event of any payment by Tenant pursuant to subsection (i) and/or (ii) above,
Tenant shall be entitled to include the amount thereof in its next Capital
Expenditures Report.
36
12. Liens.
Subject
to the
provisions of Section 13
below governing a
permitted contest by Tenant, Tenant will not, directly
or indirectly, create or allow to remain, and will promptly discharge at its
expense, any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim
upon any Leased Property or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in
respect of the Rent, not including, however, (i) liens for those taxes of
Landlord that Tenant is not required to pay hereunder, (ii) liens for
Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal Requirements,
so
long as (1) the same are not yet payable or (2) such liens are in the process
of
being contested as permitted by Section 13, (iii) liens of
mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums either disputed
in good faith or not yet due, provided that (1) such lien and such reserve
or
other appropriate provisions as shall be required by law or generally accepted
accounting principles shall have been made therefor and (2) any such liens
are
in the process of being contested as permitted by Section 13, and (iv) any liens
that are expressly the responsibility of Landlord hereunder. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, Tenant shall bond over any lien affecting the applicable Leased
Property if Landlord shall request or if any applicable Facility Mortgagee
shall
so require.
13. Permitted
Contests.
Tenant, on its own or on Landlord’s behalf (or in Landlord’s
name), but at Tenant’s expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings,
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or
application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or any lien, attachment,
levy, encumbrance, charge or claim not otherwise permitted by Section 12, provided that (i)
in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge, or claim, the commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall
suspend the collection thereof from Landlord and from the applicable Leased
Property, (ii) neither the applicable Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom
nor
any part thereof or interest therein would be reasonably likely to be in danger
of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost, (iii) Tenant shall indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Indemnified Parties from and against
any
Losses incurred by Landlord or the Landlord Indemnified Parties in connection
with any such contest or as a result thereof, (iv) Tenant shall give such
security as may be demanded by Landlord to insure ultimate payment of, or
compliance with, the same and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the affected
Leased Property or the Rent by reason of such non-payment or non-compliance;
provided, however, the provisions of this Section 13 shall not be
construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent or any other sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, (v) in the case of the contest of
an
Insurance Requirement, the coverage required by Section 14 shall be
maintained, and (vi) if such contest is resolved against Landlord or Tenant,
Tenant shall, as Additional Rent due hereunder, pay to the appropriate payee
the
amount required to be paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued
thereon, within ten (10) days after such determination (or within such shorter
period as may be required by the terms of such determination), and comply,
within any cure period allowed therefor by the applicable agency or authority
(or if no such cure period shall be allowed or specified by the applicable
agency or authority, promptly and diligently following the effective date of
such determination); provided, however, that this subsection (vi) is not
intended, and shall not be construed, to afford Tenant any cure or grace period
beyond the effective date of any final unappealable determination. Landlord,
at
Tenant’s expense, shall execute and deliver to Tenant such authorizations and
other documents as may reasonably be required in any such contest, and,
if
reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so desires, shall join as a party
therein. The terms of this Section 13 shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

in
the same manner as losses are payable under this Lease. Tenant shall immediately
notify Landlord of the taking out of any such separate insurance or of the
increasing of any of the amounts of the then existing insurance by securing
an
additional policy or policies.
14.5 Policy

or
better by A.M. Best. The insurer under each Policy shall have, as of the
Commencement Date and as of each renewal of such Policy, a claims-paying ability
rating of at least “AA” or its equivalent from each of the Rating Agencies, or,
if a particular Policy is issued by more than one insurer, then, at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the coverage (if there are four (4) or fewer
insurers under such Policy) or at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage
(if
there are five (5) or more insurers under such Policy) must be with carriers
having such claims-paying ability ratings (provided that all of the insurers
under such Policy must have claims-paying ability ratings of not less than
“A-”
or the equivalent from each of the Rating Agencies as of the Commencement Date
and as of each renewal of such Policy). At all times, each insurer under each
Policy must maintain a rating of B++: VII or better by A.M. Best. In the event
that Tenant satisfies the above-referenced ratings tests as to a particular
Policy as of the Commencement Date or as of a Policy renewal date, as
applicable, but thereafter an insurer under such Policy ceases to satisfy the
minimum A.M. Best ratings that must be met at all times, Tenant shall not be
in
default under this Section 14.8
so long as, within
thirty (30) days after such cessation arises, Tenant
replaces the insurer(s) that do not satisfy such minimum ratings requirements
with insurer(s) that do satisfy such minimum ratings requirements.
14.9
Terrorism.
Tenant’s Policies as to a particular Leased Property(ies) shall
not be required to omit any exclusions from coverage for acts of terrorism,
unless obtaining such omission (i) shall not cause the premiums therefor to

by
commercial landlords owning, or institutional lenders making mortgage loans
secured by, properties similar to such Leased Property(ies).
41
15.
Damage and
Destruction.
15.1
Notice
of Casualty.
If any Leased Property shall be destroyed, in whole or in part,
or
damaged by Casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord
and any Facility Mortgagee, in no event more than five (5) Business Days after
the occurrence of a Casualty. Within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence
of a
Casualty, or as soon thereafter as such information is reasonably available
to
Tenant, Tenant shall provide the following information to Landlord: (i) the
date
of the Casualty; (ii) the nature of the Casualty; (iii) a description of the
damage or destruction caused by the Casualty, including, but not limited to,
the
type of Leased Property damaged, the area of the Leased Improvements damaged
and
the general extent of such damage; (iv) a preliminary estimate of the cost
to
repair, rebuild, restore or replace the Leased Property; (v) a preliminary
estimate of the schedule to complete the repair, rebuilding, restoration or
replacement of the Leased Property; (vi) a description of the anticipated
property insurance claim, including, but not limited to, the name of the
insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amounts, the expected
settlement amount and the expected settlement date; and (vii) a description
of
the business interruption claim, including, but not limited to, the name of
the
insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amounts, the expected
settlement amount and the expected settlement date. Tenant shall provide
Landlord with copies of any and all material correspondence to and from the
insurance provider within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt or
submission thereof and provide any other information reasonably requested by
Landlord.
15.2
Substantial
Destruction.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, if a Facility is
substantially destroyed or rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use
by a
Casualty at any time during the Term, Landlord may elect to terminate this
Lease
with respect to the Leased Property on which such Facility is located by
providing written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days of the date upon
which Tenant notifies Landlord of the Casualty, which termination shall be
effective as of the date of Tenant’s receipt of such notice. If Landlord elects
to terminate, then Landlord shall receive any and all of the insurance proceeds
payable by reason of the Casualty (the “Casualty Insurance Proceeds”)
and Tenant shall immediately
pay to Landlord an amount equal to any
uninsured deductible, and as of the date of such termination, the applicable
Leased Property shall be deleted from this Lease and the provisions of Section 17.9 governing a
deletion of a Leased Property after Casualty shall be applicable. If Landlord
does not elect to terminate, then Tenant shall promptly rebuild and restore
the
Leased Property in accordance with Section 15.4 below and
Landlord shall make the Casualty Insurance Proceeds available to Tenant for
such
restoration only pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 15.5 below. The term
“substantially destroyed” means any Casualty
resulting in the loss of use of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the licensed units at the Facility located on
the
relevant Leased Property or that would require more than fifty percent (50%)
of
the value of the Leased Improvements to restore.
15.3
Partial
Destruction.
If a Leased Property is damaged by a Casualty but the
Facility(ies) located on such Leased Property is not substantially destroyed
or
rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use, then, subject to the
requirements of any Facility Mortgage binding upon, or secured by, the Leased
Property, Tenant shall restore the Leased Property in accordance with the
requirements of Section 15.4
below and Landlord
shall make the Casualty Insurance Proceeds available
to Tenant for such restoration pursuant to Section 15.5 below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Casualty shall occur during the final
two
(2) Lease
Years of the Term, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease
with respect to such Leased Property and retain any Casualty Insurance Proceeds,
by delivering notice of such election to Tenant within ninety (90) days of
its
receipt of notice from Tenant of such Casualty, which termination shall be
effective as of the date such notice of termination from Landlord is received
by
Tenant, whereupon Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the amount of any
uninsured deductible and the applicable Leased Property shall be deleted
herefrom pursuant to Section
17.9 below governing the deletion of a Leased Property in connection with
a Casualty.
42
15.4
Restoration.
15.4.1
Commencement
of Restoration.

receipt of notice from Landlord directing Tenant to restore a Leased Property
damaged or destroyed by a Casualty, (ii) in the case of a Casualty that results
in Landlord having the option to terminate this Lease as to the affected Leased
Property pursuant to Section
15.2 or Section 15.3,
the expiration
of the period in which Landlord may exercise such option
to terminate if Landlord fails to affirmatively elect to terminate this Lease
with respect to such Leased Property, or (iii) in the case of damage to a Leased
Property by Casualty that does not result in the substantial destruction or
the
rendering Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use of the applicable
Facility(ies), and that does not occur during the final two Lease Years of
the
Term, the date of such Casualty, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord complete
plans
and specifications (the “Restoration Plans and
Specifications”) describing the work Tenant intends to undertake to
restore the applicable Leased Property (the “Work”) for Landlord’s
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Restoration
Plans and Specifications shall be prepared in accordance with good and customary
construction and design practices and bear the signed approval thereof by an
architect licensed to do business in the State where the applicable Leased
Property is located and shall be accompanied by a written estimate from the
architect containing the projected cost of completing the Work. The Restoration
Plans and Specifications shall contemplate Work of such nature, quality and
extent that, upon the completion thereof, the Leased Property shall be at least
equal in value and general utility to its value and general utility prior to
the
Casualty and shall be adequate to operate the applicable Facility(ies) for
its
Primary Intended Use. Tenant shall satisfy all of the terms and conditions
set
forth in Sections 11.2.1
through 11.2.4
hereof relative to Alterations as to the Work and the Restoration Plans
and Specifications.
15.4.2
Permits.
Prior
to the commencement of the Work, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord certified
or
photostatic copies of all permits and contracts required by any and all
applicable Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements in connection with

Conduct
of Work.
Upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 15.4.1
and
Section
15.4.2 above, Tenant
shall perform the Work diligently and in a good, workmanlike and lien-free
fashion, in accordance with (i) the Restoration Plans and Specifications; (ii)
the permits and contracts referred to in Section 15.4.2 above; and
(iii) all applicable Legal Requirements and other requirements of this
Lease.
15.5
Disbursement
of Insurance
Proceeds. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the Work on or prior to the estimated completion date provided by
its
architect. If Landlord is required or elects to apply any Casualty Insurance
Proceeds toward repair
or
restoration of the applicable Facility, provided Tenant is diligently performing
the Work in accordance with this Lease, Landlord shall disburse such Casualty
Insurance Proceeds as and when required by Tenant in accordance with normal
and
customary practice for the payment of a general contractor in connection with
construction projects similar in scope and nature to the Work, including, at
Landlord’s option, the withholding of 10% of each disbursement of such Casualty
Insurance Proceeds until the Work is completed as evidenced by a certificate
of
occupancy or similar evidence issued upon an inspection by the applicable
Governmental Authority and proof has been furnished to Landlord that no lien
or
liability has attached or will attach to the applicable Leased Property or
to
Landlord in connection with the Work. Upon the completion of the Work and the
furnishing of such proof, the balance of the Casualty Insurance Proceeds payable
to Tenant on account of the Work shall be paid to Tenant as and when the terms
of Sections 15.4.1
through 15.4.3
have been complied with. Prior to any final disbursement of Casualty
Insurance Proceeds, Tenant shall satisfy all of the conditions set forth in
Sections 11.2.1 through
11.2.9
relative
to
Alterations as to the Work, as well as provide evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord that any amounts required to be paid by Tenant in connection with
such Work pursuant to Section
15.6 below have been paid in full. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, any Facility Mortgagee may retain and disburse the
Casualty Insurance Proceeds and Tenant shall comply with the requests and
requirements of such Facility Mortgagee in connection with the Work and the
disbursement of Casualty Insurance Proceeds.
43
15.6 Insufficient
Proceeds/Risk
of Loss. If the Casualty Insurance Proceeds are not sufficient to
pay the costs of the Work in full, Tenant shall nevertheless remain responsible,
at its sole cost and expense, to complete the Work. Tenant expressly assumes
all
risk of loss, including, without limitation, a decrease in the use, enjoyment
or
value of the Leased Property from any Casualty whatsoever, whether or not
insurable or insured against. Tenant shall pay any insurance deductible and
any
other uninsured Losses.
15.7
Excess
Proceeds.
Provided no Event of Default exists and this Lease is not
terminated pursuant to Section
15 with respect to the Leased Property on which the applicable Facility
is located, any amount by which the Casualty Insurance Proceeds exceed the
amount necessary to complete the Work shall be promptly paid by Landlord to
Tenant, provided, however, that any such excess Casualty Insurance Proceeds
shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant only following the disbursement of Casualty
Insurance Proceeds necessary to complete the Work in accordance with Section 15.5.
15.8
Landlord’s
Inspection.
During the progress of the Work, Landlord and Landlord’s
Representatives may, from time to time, inspect the Work and the Leased
Property. If, during such inspection or otherwise, Landlord and Landlord’s
Representatives determine that the Work is not being done in accordance with
the
Restoration Plans and Specifications, this Lease or any Legal Requirements,
upon
receipt by Tenant from Landlord of a written notice setting forth in reasonable
specificity and detail any defect in the Work, Tenant will cause corrections
to
be made to any such defect.
15.9
Not
Trust Funds.
Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or in equity to the
contrary, none of the Casualty Insurance Proceeds, or Award on account of any
Condemnation, that may be paid to Landlord as herein provided shall be deemed
trust funds, and Landlord
shall be entitled to dispose of such Casualty Insurance Proceeds or Award as
provided in this Section 15
or in Section
16
or Section 17.6
below, as applicable.
44
15.10
Waiver. Tenant waives any statutory rights of termination that may arise
by reason of any Casualty or Condemnation.
15.11
Facility
Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in
the
event that any Facility Mortgagee elects to require that any Casualty Insurance
Proceeds in connection with any Casualty, or the Award in connection with any
Condemnation, be applied by Landlord to reduce the outstanding principal balance
of any loan secured by any Leased Property, Landlord may elect, in its sole
discretion and by written notice to Tenant, delivered promptly after the receipt
by Landlord of written notice of such election from Facility Mortgagee, to
terminate this Lease as to the Leased Property affected by such Casualty or
Condemnation, in which event the provisions of Section 17.9 governing a
deletion of one or more Leased Properties from this Lease after a Casualty
or
Condemnation shall apply. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15 or Section
16 hereof, Tenant
shall remain liable for any uninsured portion of any Casualty or the cost of
any
restoration not covered by an Award in the event this Lease is terminated as
to
the applicable Leased Property pursuant to Section 15 or Section
16 hereof. In the
event a Facility Mortgagee so elects to apply any Casualty Insurance Proceeds
or
Award in reduction of a loan secured by a particular Leased Property and
Landlord elects not to exercise its above-described termination right as to
such
Leased Property, Landlord shall be obligated to disburse its own funds in
replacement for any Casualty Insurance Proceeds or Award so applied by the
Facility Mortgagee, and, in such event, Landlord’s own funds shall be disbursed
to Tenant from time to time as, when and subject to the satisfaction of the
same
terms, conditions and requirements as would have governed the disbursement
of
the Casualty Insurance Proceeds or Award that Landlord’s funds replace (e.g. the
requirements of Section 15.5
shall continue to
be required to be satisfied as a pre-condition to any
disbursement of Landlord’s funds).
16.
Condemnation.
16.1
Parties’
Rights
and
Obligations. If during the Term there is any Condemnation of all
or any part of any Leased Property, the rights and obligations of the parties
shall be determined by this Section 16.
16.2
Total
Taking.
If any Leased Property is totally taken by Condemnation, this
Lease shall terminate as to such Leased Property on the Date of Taking, in
which
event the provisions of Section
17.9 governing the deletion of one or more Leased Properties from this
Lease upon a Condemnation shall apply. In the event of a total taking by
Condemnation of any Leased Property, the Award shall be solely the property
of
Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution
in value of the leasehold or the fee estate of the Premises, provided, however,
Tenant shall be entitled to any damages specifically attributable to
reasonable removal and relocation costs included in the Award.
16.3
Partial
Taking.
If any portion of any Leased Property is taken by Condemnation,
this Lease shall remain in effect as to such Leased Property if the
Facility(ies) located thereon is not thereby rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary
Intended Use as reasonably determined by Landlord, but if the Facility(ies)
is/are thereby rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use, this Lease
shall terminate as to such Leased Property on the Date of Taking,
in which event the provisions of Section 17.9 governing the
deletion of one or more Leased Properties from this Lease upon a Condemnation
shall apply. If, as a result of any such partial taking by Condemnation, this
Lease is not terminated as provided above, Tenant’s obligation to make payments
of Rent and to pay all other charges required under this Lease shall remain
unabated during the Term notwithstanding such Condemnation, unless the taking
includes a material part of the Facility on any Leased Property, in which event,
from and after such taking, Rent hereunder shall be equitably abated, as
determined by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion. In the event of any
partial taking by Condemnation of any Leased Property, the entire Award shall
belong to and be paid to Landlord, except that, subject to the rights of any
Facility Mortgagees, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from the Award, if
and
to the extent such Award specifically includes such item, the following: (i)
a
sum specifically attributable to Tenant’s Personal Property and any reasonable
removal and relocation costs included in the Award; and (ii) a sum specifically
attributable to the cost of restoring the Leased Property in accordance with
Section 16.4 hereof; and
(iii) a sum specifically attributable to the interruption of business
operations, which sum, if and to the extent received by Landlord, shall be
credited against payments of Rent and other charges due from Tenant to Landlord
under this Lease.
45
16.4
Restoration.
If there is a partial taking by Condemnation of any Leased
Property and this Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to Section 16.3, Tenant at its
cost shall accomplish all necessary restoration, which restoration activities
shall be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to
Work under Section
15
16.5
Temporary
Taking.
The taking of any Leased Property, or any part thereof, by
military or other public authority shall constitute a taking by Condemnation
only when the use and occupancy by the Condemnor has continued for longer than
four (4) months. During any such four (4) month period, all the provisions
of
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Rent shall continue without
abatement or reduction.

force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Tenant and
all other Persons and all personal property from such Leased Property(ies)

law.

the extent permitted by law, neither (i) the termination of this Lease pursuant

or
any portion thereof, (iv) the reletting of any or all of the Leased Properties
or any portion thereof, (v) the failure of Landlord to collect or receive any
rentals due upon any such reletting, nor (vi) the election by Landlord not
to
terminate the Lease but rather to seek all damages provided at law or in equity,
shall relieve Tenant of any of its liabilities or obligations hereunder, all
of
which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. In the
event of any such termination of this Lease (or any termination of this Lease
as
to less than all of the Leased Properties in the event of a Limited Termination
Election or the election by Landlord not to terminate this Lease as to such
Leased Properties, but rather to pursue its damages at law or in equity),
without limitation of Section
17.5 and Section 19
below, Tenant
shall forthwith pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s option, as
liquidated damages with respect to Rent for the Premises (or the Terminated
Lease Properties in the event of any Limited Termination Election),
either:
(A) the
sum of: (1) the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination
(or
the unpaid Rent as to the Terminated Lease Properties in the event of a Limited
Termination Election), which Rent shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from
the date of such termination until paid; and (2) the then net present value
(computed using a discount rate equal to the Prime Rate) of the amount of unpaid
Rent (or the unpaid Rent as to the Terminated Lease Properties in the event
of a
Limited Termination Election) for the balance of the Term not previously
collected pursuant to clause (B) below following the date of termination
(excluding, however, any period following termination on account of which
Landlord previously collected Rent pursuant to clause (B) below) without,
subject to Section 17.5
below, any obligation
or deemed obligation on the part of Landlord to
mitigate damages, or
(B) each
installment of Rent hereof and other sums payable hereunder (or such Rent and
other sums as to the Terminated Lease Properties in the event of a Limited
Termination Election) as the same become due and payable, to the extent that
such Rent and other sums exceed the rent and other sums actually collected
by
Landlord for the corresponding period pursuant to any reletting (without subject
to Section 17.5 below,
any obligation or deemed obligation on the part of Landlord to mitigate damages)
of the Premises (or the Terminated Lease Properties in the event of a Limited
Termination Election).
50
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that Landlord elects
to
collect damages pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B) above, Landlord may
subsequently elect to collect damages pursuant to the other of clause (A) and
clause (B) above, in each case so long as Landlord does not collect, and
provided that Landlord may not collect, any damages pursuant to clause (A)
or
clause (B) above, as applicable, with respect to any period as to which Landlord
has theretofore actually collected damages from Tenant pursuant to the other
of
clause (A) and clause (B) above, as applicable. In case of any Event of Default,
Landlord may, with or without terminating this Lease, (x) relet any or all
of
the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or
otherwise, for a term or terms that may, at Landlord’s option, be equal to, less
than or exceed the period that would otherwise have constituted the balance
of
the Term and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord
considers advisable or necessary to relet the same, and (y) make such reasonable
alterations, repairs and decorations in the applicable Leased Property(ies)
or
any portion thereof as Landlord, in its sole judgment, considers advisable
or
necessary for the purpose of reletting the applicable Leased Property(ies);
and
such reletting and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations
shall
not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as
aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for
failure to relet any Leased Property, or, in the event that any Leased Property
is relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights
of
redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant’s
being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord’s obtaining
possession of any Leased Property, by reason of the violation by Tenant of
any
of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or any other Event of
Default.

Waiver;
Mitigation.

whether
in whole
or, in the case of any Limited Termination Election, in part, Tenant waives,

the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption,
re-entry or repossession, (ii) any right to a trial by jury in the event of
proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Section 17, and (iii) the
benefit of any moratorium laws or any laws now or hereafter in force exempting
property from liability for rent or for debt. In addition, Tenant waives, to
the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any duty on the part of Landlord
to
mitigate the damages recoverable from Tenant on account of any breach or Event
of Default by Tenant, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
to
the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord agrees to comply with any
non-waivable duty to mitigate the aforesaid damages that may be imposed by
applicable law.
17.6
Application
of Funds.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
any payments, deposits, escrows, Casualty Insurance Proceeds or Awards received
or held by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease may, during the
existence of any Event of Default and at Landlord’s option, in its sole
discretion, be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order that Landlord in its
sole discretion may determine.
17.7
Nature
of Remedies.
Landlord shall have all rights at law and in equity available
to
Landlord as a result of an Event of Default or Tenant’s breach of this Lease,
including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law (but subject,
in
the case of any Leased Property(ies) located in California, to any provisions
of
California law providing that this Lease will be deemed terminated as to any
Leased Property(ies) as to which Tenant’s right to possession is terminated by
Landlord due to an Event of Default), the right to dispossess Tenant from a
Leased Property(ies) without terminating this Lease as it applies to such Leased
Property(ies)
and thereafter, unless and until Landlord terminates this Lease as it applies
to
such Leased Property(ies), collect Rent and other sums payable hereunder as
to
such Leased Property(ies) as the same become due and payable, to the extent
such
Rent and other sums exceed the rent and other sums actually collected by
Landlord for the corresponding period pursuant to any reletting (without,
subject to Section 17.5
above, any obligation
or deemed obligation on the part of Landlord to
mitigate damages) of such Leased Property(ies). To the extent permitted by
law,
the rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease, at law and in equity
shall
be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or successively, on one or
more
occasions, as Landlord deems appropriate in its sole discretion, as often as
occasion therefor arises. To the extent permitted by law, each such right and
remedy shall be in addition to all other such rights and remedies, and the
exercise by Landlord of any one or more of such rights and remedies shall not
preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise of any or all other such rights
and remedies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liquidated
damages in respect of Rent provided for in clauses (A) and (B) of Section 17.4 hereof, and in
Section
19 hereof, shall
be payable by Tenant in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other damages
suffered by Landlord in connection with any default or Event of Default by
Tenant (including, without limitation, Litigation Costs and costs of
reletting).
51
17.8
No
Mediation or Arbitration.
Upon any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled
to
proceed immediately to enforce its rights and remedies pursuant to this Section 17 and the other terms
of this Lease, and neither any Event of Default, nor the rights and obligations
of Tenant and Landlord under this Lease, shall be subject to mediation or
arbitration of any kind.
17.9
Deletion
of Properties.
In the event that this Lease is terminated as to one or more
Deleted Properties (but not all of the Premises) pursuant to Section 17.2 or as to one or
more Leased Properties (but not all of the Premises) in connection with a
Casualty or Condemnation, the provisions of this Section 17.9 shall be
applicable. Without necessity of any further action of the parties, this Lease
shall terminate as to the Deleted Property(ies), and the Deleted Property(ies)
shall be separated and removed herefrom, at such time (such date, the “Property Removal Date”) as
Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant exercising its termination rights
pursuant to Section 15, Section
16 or Section 17.2
(any of the
foregoing, a “Deletion Notice”). As of the
applicable Property Removal Date, this Lease shall be automatically and ipso
facto amended to:
(i)
delete and eliminate the Deleted Property(ies) herefrom;
(ii) exclude
the applicable Deleted Properties from the definition of Premises;
(iii) reduce
the Fixed Rent payable hereunder by an amount equal to the product of: (x)
the
aggregate Tenant’s Proportionate Share(s) applicable to all of the Deleted
Properties; and (y) the aggregate Fixed Rent in effect under this Lease as
of
the Property Removal Date;
(iv) amend
and reduce, respectively, Exhibit C attached hereto and the Base Year Patient
Revenues to delete and eliminate the Deleted Property(ies) therefrom and reduce
the Base Year Patient Revenues applicable to the remaining Leased Property(ies)
by the amount of the Allocated Base Year Patient Revenues applicable to the
Deleted Properties
for the purposes of determining whether the Rent Escalation Condition has been
satisfied and otherwise; and
52
(v)
revise Schedule 2
attached hereto to
remove the Tenant’s Proportionate Share(s) for all of
the Deleted Property(ies), and to recalculate the Tenant’s Proportionate Shares
applicable to the remaining Facilities set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto so
that each Tenant of a remaining Facility shall have a Tenant’s Proportionate
Share equal to the percentage that the Tenant’s Proportionate Share for the
Facility(ies) operated by such Tenant comprises of the aggregate Tenant’s
Proportionate Shares, prior to such revision of Schedule 2, for all of the
Facilities remaining under this Lease such that the aggregate of all of such
recalculated Tenant’s Proportionate Shares equals one hundred percent
(100%).
With
respect to any Terminated Lease Property(ies), the terms of items (i) through
(v) above shall be without limitation upon the liability of Tenant (joint and
several) for the rental amounts allocated to the Terminated Lease Property(ies),
and (a) in case of any termination of this Lease as a result of any Event of
Default, for any damages resulting from the Event of Default that resulted
in
the deletion of such Terminated Lease Property(ies) herefrom and (b) in case
of
any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 15 or Section
16 hereof, for any
obligations owed by Tenant to Landlord on account of such termination under
Section 15 or Section
16 hereof. Promptly
(and in any event within ten (10) days) after receipt of Landlord’s request
therefor, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord such instrument(s) as
Landlord may from time to time request reflecting the elimination of any Deleted
Property(ies) herefrom on the terms described above.
18. Landlord’s
Right to Cure
Tenant’s Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant
or the Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time
thereafter make such payments or perform such acts for the account and at the
expense of Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon any
or
each Leased Property or any portion thereof for the purpose of curing such
Event
of Default and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s opinion, may be
necessary or appropriate in connection with curing such Event of Default. No
such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All sums so paid or advanced
by Landlord and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest
thereon (to the maximum extent permitted by law) as Additional Rent hereunder
at
the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or
incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. The
obligations of Tenant and rights of Landlord contained in this Section 18 and in Section
17 above shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
19. Holding
Over.
If Tenant shall, for any reason other than if required by this
Lease or by Landlord, remain in possession of any Leased Property after the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term as to such Leased Property, such
possession shall, at the option of Landlord, in its sole discretion as to each
such Leased Property, be as a month-to-month tenant during which time Tenant
shall pay as rental each month (which rental constitutes liquidated damages
with
respect to Fixed Rent, and not a penalty, for the period to which it relates),
one and one-half (11/2) times the aggregate of the Fixed Rent payable by Tenant
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, in each case, with respect to the
Leased Property(ies) in question (determined on the
basis
of the aggregate Tenant’s Proportionate Share of each applicable Tenant for the
affected Leased Properties without adjustment or removal of the Tenant’s
Proportionate Share for such Leased Property pursuant to Section 17.9 hereof). During
such period of month-tomonth tenancy, Tenant shall be obligated to perform
and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease with
respect to the Leased Property(ies) in question (including, but not limited
to,
its obligation to pay Additional Rent), but shall have no rights hereunder
other
than the right, to the extent given by law to month-to-month tenancies, to
continue its occupancy and use of the applicable Leased Property(ies). Landlord
shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s month-to-month tenancy at any time
after giving Tenant ten (10) days’ prior written notice, and at any time
thereafter, Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises. Nothing
contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord
to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. The terms of this Section 19 shall be without
limitation upon any other right Landlord may have hereunder, at law or in
equity, on account of any holdover with respect to the applicable Leased
Property(ies). The obligations of Tenant and the rights of Landlord contained
in
this Section 19 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
53
20.
Subordination.
20.1
Subordination.
This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and
subordinate to all Facility Mortgages that may now or hereafter affect
Landlord’s interest in any Leased Property, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions of all Facility Mortgages, provided,
however, that, in the case of any Facility Mortgage that is not currently in
existence, Tenant’s aforesaid subordination shall be conditioned on Tenant’s
receipt of a so-called “non-disturbance” agreement in favor of Tenant from the
Facility Mortgagee under any such Facility Mortgage on such Facility Mortgagee’s
commercially reasonable standard form. This Section shall be self-operative
and
no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of
such subordination, Tenant also agrees to execute and deliver promptly (and
in
any event within ten (10) Business Days) any commercially reasonable and
customary agreement (in recordable form, if requested) that Landlord or any
Facility Mortgagee may request to evidence such subordination.
20.2
Attornment.
If
the interests of Landlord under this Lease are transferred by reason of, or
assigned in lieu of, foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of a
Facility Mortgage, then Tenant shall, at the option of such purchaser or
assignee, as the case may be, (i) attorn to such party and perform for its
benefit all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part
to be performed with the same force and effect as if such party were the
landlord originally named in this Lease, or (ii) enter into a New Lease with
such party, as landlord, pursuant to Section 40 hereof for the
remaining Term and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as this Lease,
except that such successor landlord shall not be (w) liable for any previous
act, omission, breach, default or negligence of Landlord under this Lease;
(x)
subject to any counterclaim, defense or offset that theretofore shall have
accrued to Tenant against Landlord; (y) bound by any previous modification
or
amendment of this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s
rent, unless such modification, amendment or prepayment shall have been approved
in writing by the Facility Mortgagee through or by reason of which such
successor landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this
Lease or, in case of any such prepayment, such prepayment of rent has actually
been delivered to such successor landlord; or (z) liable for any security
deposited pursuant to this Lease unless such security
has actually been delivered to such successor landlord. Nothing contained in
this Section 20.2 shall
be construed to impair any right otherwise exercisable by any such owner, holder
or lessee.
54
20.3
Mortgagee
Cure Rights.
If any act or omission by Landlord would give Tenant the right,
immediately or after lapse of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease or to
claim a partial or total eviction, or an abatement of Rent, setoff or
counterclaim not otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Lease,
or to
declare a default hereunder, Tenant will not exercise any such right until
(i)
it has given written notice of such act or omission to each Facility Mortgagee
whose name and address shall have previously been furnished to Tenant, (ii)
Landlord shall have failed to cure the same after the delivery of such notice
as
may be herein required and within the time limits set forth in this Lease,
and
(iii) following the giving of such notice to each Facility Mortgagee, no
Facility Mortgagee shall have remedied such act or omission (x) in the case
of
an act or omission that is capable of being remedied without possession of
the
applicable Leased Property, within the cure period available to Landlord under
this Lease plus thirty (30) days; and (y) in the case of any act or omission
that is incapable of being remedied without possession of the applicable Leased
Property, within thirty (30) days following the date on which possession is
obtained (either by such Facility Mortgagee or by a receiver in an action
commenced by such Facility Mortgagee).
20.4
Modifications.
Tenant shall execute any modification of this Lease reasonably
requested by any Facility Mortgagee or prospective Facility Mortgagee to cause
the terms of this Lease to conform with customary and reasonable mortgage
financing requirements, provided that such modifications (i) do not materially
adversely increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially diminish
Tenant’s rights under this Lease, (ii) do not increase Rent payable hereunder,
and (iii) are requested by any such Facility Mortgagee or prospective Facility
Mortgagee only at the time of its initial loan advance or any subsequent
extension of the maturity date of its loan or material modification of the
terms
of its loan. Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent to such modification, provided subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above
are
complied with.
21.
Property and Accounts
Collateral.
21.1
Landlord’s
Security
Interest. The parties intend that, if an Event of Default occurs
under this Lease, Landlord will control Tenant’s Personal Property so that
Landlord or its designee or nominee can operate, sell or re-let each Facility
for its Primary Intended Use. Accordingly, to implement such intention, and
for
the purpose of securing the payment and performance obligations of Tenant
hereunder, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
21.1.1
Property
Collateral;
Accounts Collateral. Tenant, as debtor, hereby grants to Landlord,
as secured party, a security interest in, and lien upon, (i) all of Tenant’s
right, title and interest in and to Tenant’s Personal Property (exclusive of
Tenant’s computer hardware, proprietary software, names and tradenames) and any
and all products, rents, proceeds and profits thereof in which Tenant now owns
or hereafter acquires an interest or right (collectively, the “Property Collateral”) and (ii)
all accounts receivable with respect to each Facility that Tenant now owns
or in
which Tenant hereafter acquires an interest or right (collectively, the “Accounts Collateral”). The
security interests and liens granted to Landlord in
this
Section 21.1 with
respect to the Accounts Collateral may be subordinated to any first priority
security interest granted in connection with any permitted AR Financing (as
defined in Section 21.2
below); provided,
however,
that, in connection with such AR Financing, Landlord shall furnish
Tenant’s financiers, and Tenant’s financiers shall execute and return to
Landlord, an intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Landlord.
55
21.1.1.1
Security
Agreement.
This Lease constitutes a security agreement pursuant to and in
accordance with the UCC covering all Property Collateral and Accounts
Collateral, as well as the Authorization Collateral and any other property
in or
against which Landlord is granted a security interest or lien by the terms
of
this Lease (collectively, the “Lease Collateral”), and such
security agreement, and the security interests and liens created in this Lease,
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant hereby
authorizes Landlord to file such financing statements, continuation statements
and other documents as may be necessary or desirable to perfect or continue
the
perfection of Landlord’s security interests and liens in the Lease Collateral
pursuant to the UCC. In addition, if required by Landlord at any time during
the
Term, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, additional security agreements, financing statements,
fixture filings and such other documents as Landlord may reasonably require
to
perfect or continue the perfection of Landlord’s security interests and liens in
the Lease Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or in
connection with an Operational Transfer, Landlord shall be entitled to exercise
any and all rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC,
or
available to a landlord under the laws of the State(s) where the applicable
Leased Property(ies) is (are) located, with respect to the Lease Collateral,
including the right to sell the same at public or private sale, and, in
connection with any such sale, Tenant agrees that the giving of ten (10) days’
notice by Landlord, designating the time and place of any public sale of any
Lease Collateral, or the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition of any Lease Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be
reasonable notice thereof, and Tenant waives any other notice with respect
thereto.
21.1.2
Certain
Changes.
Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice of any change in any Tenant’s principal place of business, name,
identity, jurisdiction of organization or corporate structure, and any such
change shall, without limitation of Section 24 hereof, be subject
to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. With respect to any such change, Tenant will promptly execute and
deliver such instruments, documents and notices and take such actions, as
Landlord deems necessary or desirable to create, perfect and protect the
security interests and liens of Landlord in the Lease Collateral.
21.2
Accounts
Receivable
Financing. Tenant shall not obtain so-called “Accounts Receivable”
financing with respect to any Facility (or its operations therein)
or otherwise
pledge any receivables as collateral (“AR
Financing”) unless (i) the
terms and conditions of this Section 21 have been
satisfied; (ii) Tenant obtains Landlord’s consent to the terms thereof; and
(iii) no Event of Default exists hereunder. Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay its consent to any AR Financing secured by a first lien upon
Tenant’s Accounts Collateral and as to which Landlord has received an
intercreditor agreement as required pursuant to Section 21.1.1, and, as to any
other AR Financing, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole
discretion.
56
22. Risk
of Loss.
During the Term, the risk of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment
and beneficial use of each Leased Property in consequence of the damage or
destruction thereof by fire, the elements, acts of terrorism, casualties,
thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or in consequence of foreclosures,
attachments, levies or executions is assumed by Tenant, and Landlord shall
in no
event be answerable or accountable therefor nor shall any of the events
mentioned in this Section entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent.
23. Indemnification.
Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance provided for
herein, and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance, Tenant
shall protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend Landlord and the Landlord
Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses (including, without limitation,
Litigation Costs), to the maximum extent permitted by law (and to the extent
not
the direct result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), imposed
upon or incurred by, or asserted or alleged against, Landlord or any Landlord
Indemnified Parties by reason of: (i) any accident, injury to, or death of,
persons or loss of, or damage to, property occurring on or about any Leased
Property; (ii) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance or repair of
any
Leased Property by Tenant, any Tenant Parties or anyone claiming under Tenant
or
any Tenant Parties; (iii) any Impositions; (iv) any failure on the part of
Tenant, any Tenant Parties or anyone claiming under Tenant or any Tenant Parties
to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease; (v) any claims for
work or labor performed or materials supplied to Tenant or any Tenant Parties;
(vi) any breach by Tenant of any of its representations and warranties
hereunder; (vii) any breach or default under any Authorization by any Tenant
(or
any Facility) or any revocation of any Authorizations (including, but not
limited to, any Facility Provider Agreement); (viii) any negligence or
misconduct on the part of Tenant or any Tenant Parties; (ix) the non-performance
of any of the terms and provisions of any and all existing and future subleases
of any Leased Property to be performed by the subtenant thereunder; and/or
(x)
the claims of any broker or finder made in connection with this Lease except
to
the extent claiming under the written agreements of Landlord. Any amounts that
become payable by Tenant under this Section 23 shall be paid
within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, and if not timely paid, shall
bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date of such demand until paid.
Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action
or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord or any Landlord
Indemnified Parties with counsel acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion
and shall not, under any circumstances, compromise or otherwise dispose of
any
suit, action or proceeding without obtaining Landlord’s written consent. Tenant
shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of any claim provided
that (A) Tenant shall first confirm in writing to Landlord that such claim
is
within the scope of this indemnity and that Tenant shall pay any and all amounts
required to be paid in respect of such claim; and (B) any compromise or
settlement shall require the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld provided Landlord (or the applicable Landlord
Indemnified Parties) are irrevocably released from all liabilities in connection
with such claim as part of such settlement or compromise. Landlord, at its
election and sole cost and expense, shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to participate in the defense of any claim. If Tenant does not
act
promptly and completely to satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder,
Landlord may resist and defend any such claims or causes of action against
Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Party at Tenant’s sole cost. The terms of
this Section 23 shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
57
24.
Assignment;
Sublease.
24.1
Assignment;
Sublease.
24.1.1
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant
shall have no right, directly or indirectly, or through one or more step
transactions or tiered transactions, voluntarily or by operation of law, to
assign, convey, sell or otherwise transfer this Lease in part under any
circumstances. Subject to the foregoing, except as expressly provided herein,
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned so long as no Event of Default
has
occurred and is continuing hereunder, Tenant shall not, either directly or
indirectly, or through one or more step transactions or tiered transactions,
voluntarily or by operation of law, (i) assign, convey, sell, pledge, mortgage,
hypothecate or otherwise encumber, transfer or dispose of all or any part of
this Lease or any Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder; (ii) sublease all or any
part of any Leased Property; (iii) engage the services of any Person for the
management or operation of all or any part of any Leased Property; (iv) convey,
sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose
of
any stock, partnership, membership or other interests (whether equity or
otherwise) in any Tenant or any Person(s) controlling any Tenant, if such
conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance
or
disposition results, directly or indirectly, in a change in control of such
Tenant (or of such controlling Person(s)); (v) dissolve, merge or consolidate
any Tenant or any Persons controlling any Tenant with any other Person, if
such
dissolution, merger or consolidation, directly or indirectly, results in a
change in control of such Tenant (or in such controlling Person(s)); (vi) sell,
convey, assign, or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the assets
of
any Tenant or any Person(s) controlling any Tenant; (vii) sell, convey, assign,
or otherwise transfer any of the assets of any Tenant or any Person(s)
controlling any Tenant, if the consolidated net worth of such Tenant (or such
controlling Person(s), as the case may be) immediately following such
transaction is not at least equal to the greater of (1) the consolidated net
worth of such Tenant (or such controlling Person(s), as the case may be)
immediately prior to such transaction and (2) the consolidated net worth of
such
Tenant (or controlling Person(s), as the case may be) as of the date hereof;
or
(viii) enter into or permit to be entered into any agreement or arrangement
to
do any of the foregoing or to grant any option or other right to any Person
to
do any of the foregoing. For purposes of this Section 24.1, a change in
control of any Tenant or any controlling Person, as applicable, shall include,
without limitation, (a) a change in the composition of the board of directors
of
any Tenant or controlling Person, as applicable, such that at the end of any
period of twelve (12) consecutive months the persons constituting a majority
of
such board of directors are not the same as the persons constituting a majority
at the start of such period (or persons appointed by such majority), (b) the
sale or other disposition of (x) all or any part of its interest in any
Guarantor or (y) all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor or
any
Tenant, and (c) a merger or consolidation involving any Guarantor or any Tenant,
which results in the stockholders of any Guarantor or any Tenant immediately
prior to such event owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the capital stock,
partnership interests, limited liability company membership interests or other
equity interests of the surviving entity or any parent of the surviving entity.
For purposes of this Section
24, a sublease of all or any part of any Leased Property shall be deemed
to include any concessionaire agreement, license agreement or other agreement
involving use or possession of all or any part of any Leased
Property.
58
24.1.2
Subject to the provisions of Section 24.3 below and any
other express conditions or limitations set forth herein, so long as no Event
of
Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Tenant may, without the
consent of Landlord, (i) assign this Lease in its entirety or sublet all or
any
part of any Leased Property to any Affiliate of any Tenant, provided that,
in
the case of both this clause (i) and clause (ii) below, the assignee or
subtenant in question is duly licensed and possessed of all Authorizations
necessary for the conduct of its activities and the operation of such Leased
Property or portion thereof in accordance with all applicable laws and shall
comply with the provisions of clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) below (except that,
in the case of an assignment or sublet to an Affiliate pursuant to clause (i)
above, the assignee or subtenant shall not be required to comply with clauses
(b)(1), (2) and (3)), or (ii) sublet a minor portion of a particular Facility
to
a Person providing services that are ancillary to Tenant’s Primary Intended Use
at such Facility (e.g., a sublease to a beauty salon operator) or (iii) enter
into Approved Residency Agreements with residents of a Facility, provided that
all of the requirements for constituting an Approved Residency Agreement are
complied with at the time of entry into such agreement and at all times
thereafter, or (iv) make a collateral assignment of any rights or obligations
hereunder to any Lending Institution in order to secure indebtedness owed by
any
Tenant or any Guarantor to such Financial Institution, provided that the
prohibitions on partial assignment of this Lease and the other provisions of
this Section 24 shall be
applicable in connection with any foreclosure (or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure) or other enforcement action relating to such collateral assignment,
or (v) make or allow (i) any transfer or issuance of capital stock in
Summerville Senior Living, Inc. (“Summerville”)
in
connection
with an underwritten public offering on a primary basis by Summerville pursuant
to a registration statement that has been filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or (ii) any transaction pursuant to which the ownership
interest of Apollo Real Estate
Investment Fund III, L.P. and/or Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund IV, L.P.
in Summerville is eliminated or reduced, so long as, in the case of
both
clause (v)(i) and (v)(ii) above, immediately following any such transfer or
issuance or transaction, as applicable, (x) Summerville remains a Guarantor
of
this Lease having a net worth at least equal to the greater of (1) the net
worth
of Summerville immediately prior to the transfer, issuance or transaction and
(2) the net worth of Summerville as of the date hereof and (y) the senior
management of Summerville is comprised of persons having a favorable business,
regulatory compliance and operational reputation and character. So long as
no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to any other subletting
of
the Leased Properties in whole or in part or assignment of this Lease in its
entirety, provided that (a) in the case of a subletting, (1) the subtenant
shall
comply with the provisions of Section 24.2, and (2) if the
subtenant is an Affiliate of any Tenant or any Guarantor, the subtenant shall
execute and deliver to Landlord a guaranty of Tenant’s obligations under the
Lease substantially in the form the Lease Guaranty is required to be in, (b)
the
assignee or subtenant (1) shall be a creditworthy entity with sufficient
financial resources and stability to satisfy its obligations under the Lease,
(2) shall have not less than five (5) years experience in operating health
care
facilities for the purpose of the applicable Facility’s Primary Intended Use,
(3) has a favorable business, regulatory compliance and operational reputation
and character, (4) has all licenses, permits, approvals and other Authorizations
required to operate the Leased Property(ies) in question for the Primary
Intended Use (or any other use permitted under the terms of this Lease), and
(5)
in the case of an assignment, shall assume in writing and agree to keep and
perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and
performed and shall be, and become, jointly and severally liable with Tenant
for
the performance thereof, (c) an original counterpart of each such sublease
and
assignment and assumption, duly executed by Tenant and such subtenant or
assignee, as the case
may
be, in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be
delivered promptly to Landlord, and (d) in case of either an assignment or
subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than
as
surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and
observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by Tenant
hereunder. Landlord’s obligation to consent to a subletting or assignment is
subject to any reasonable approval rights of any Facility
Mortgagee.
59
24.1.3
If
this Lease is assigned or if any Leased Property or any part thereof is sublet
(or occupied by any entity other than Tenant and its employees), Landlord,
after
an Event of Default occurs and so long as it is continuing, may collect the
rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply
the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such collection
shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in Section 24.1, the acceptance
by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as
a
tenant or a release of Tenant from the future performance of its covenants,
agreements or obligations contained in this Lease.
24.1.4
Subject to Section 24.4
below, no subletting
or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing
primary liability of Tenant hereunder, or the continuing liability of any
Guarantor under its Lease Guaranty, and no consent to any subletting or
assignment in any particular instance shall be deemed a waiver of the
prohibitions and limitations set forth in this Section 24.1. No assignment,
subletting or occupancy shall affect the Primary Intended Use.
24.1.5
If Tenant shall desire to assign this Lease or sublet all (but not a
portion) of any Leased Property (other than an assignment or sublease as to
which Landlord’s consent is not required as provided in Sections 24.1.2(i), (ii),
(iii)
and (iv) above),
it shall first submit in writing to Landlord a notice indicating (i) the name
of
the proposed assignee or subtenant, (ii) the material terms of the proposed
assignment or sublease, (iii) the nature and character of the business which
the
proposed assignee or subtenant will conduct at the applicable Leased Property,
(iv) reasonable financial data concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant,
and (v) the effective date of the proposed assignment or the commencement date
and expiration date of the proposed sublease. Tenant shall additionally submit
to Landlord any other information concerning the proposed assignment or sublease
that Landlord may reasonably request from time to time and, prior to the
effective date of any assignment permitted hereunder or the commencement date
of
any sublease permitted hereunder, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the assignee or subtenant has all
licenses, permits, approvals and other Authorizations necessary to operate
each
Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use (or any other use permitted under
the terms of this Lease). In addition, if Tenant shall desire to engage in
any
transfer, issuance or transaction of the nature described in Section 24.1.2(v) above,
Tenant shall first submit in writing to Landlord such information concerning
such transfer, issuance or transaction that Landlord may reasonably request
from
time to time.
24.1.6
Any
assignment and/or sublease must provide that (i) it shall be subject and
subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, (ii) the use
of
the applicable Leased Property shall be restricted to the applicable Primary
Intended Use and shall not conflict with any Legal Requirement, Insurance
Requirement or any other provision of this Lease, (iii) no sublessee or assignee
shall be permitted to sublet further all or any part of the applicable
Leased Property or assign this Lease or its sublease except as expressly
provided in this Lease and (iv) in the event of cancellation or termination
of
this Lease for any reason whatsoever or of the surrender of this Lease, whether
voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, prior to the expiration date
of
such sublease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder, at
Landlord’s option, the subtenant shall make full and complete attornment to
Landlord for the balance of the term of the sublease, which attornment shall
be
evidenced by an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord and which the subtenant shall execute and deliver within five (5)
days
after request by Landlord, and the subtenant shall waive the provisions of
any
law now or hereafter in effect that may give the subtenant any right of election
to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession in the event any proceeding
is brought by Landlord to terminate this Lease.

24.1.7
Any assignment of this Lease or sublease of the applicable Leased
Property in contravention of the express terms of this Section 24 shall be voidable
at Landlord’s option and the acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any such
unauthorized assignee or subtenant shall not constitute a recognition or
acceptance of the tenancy of such unauthorized assignee or
subtenant.
24.2
Attornment.
Tenant shall insert in each sublease permitted under Section 24.1provisions
to the
effect that (i) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms
and
provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord hereunder, (ii) in the
event this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such sublease, the
subtenant thereunder will, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord and waive
any right the subtenant may have to terminate the sublease or to surrender
possession thereunder, as a result of the termination of this Lease, and (iii)
in the event the subtenant receives a written notice from Landlord or Landlord’s
assignees, if any, stating that an Event of Default has occurred, the subtenant
shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under said sublease
directly to the party giving such notice, or as such party may direct. All
rentals received from the subtenant by Landlord or Landlord’s assignees, if any,
as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Tenant under
this Lease.
24.3 Sublease
Limitation.
Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding,
Tenant shall not sublet any Leased Property on any basis such that the rental
to
be paid by the subtenant thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on
either (i) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the
subtenant, or (ii) any other formula such that any portion of the sublease
rental, if received by Landlord, would fail to qualify as “rents from real
property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or
successor provision thereto.
24.4
Release.
The
original Tenant under this Lease and Summerville shall not be released from
their respective duties and obligations under, respectively, this Lease or
Summerville’ s Lease Guaranty on account of any assignment or sublease,
provided, however, that Landlord agrees that, if (i) Tenant requests Landlord’s
consent to a complete assignment of this Lease, (ii) Tenant specifies in its
request that Tenant desires to have the aforesaid original Tenant and
Summerville released from the aforesaid duties and obligations arising from
and
after the date of such assignment, and (iii) Tenant agrees and specifies in
its
request that, in considering whether to consent to such proposed assignment,
Landlord may, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
grant or withhold its consent in its sole and unfettered
discretion, then, if Landlord thereafter grants its consent to such assignment,
the original Tenant and Summerville shall be released from their aforesaid
duties and obligations arising from and after the date of such
assignment.

delivered
by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease or for otherwise ascertaining compliance
with this Lease by Tenant or the business, operational or financial condition
of
each Tenant, each Guarantor and/or their respective Affiliates and/or any of
the

make appropriate arrangements for, Landlord and/or Landlord’s Representatives to

Facility(ies) designated by Landlord with, and be advised as to the same by,
appropriate personnel of Tenant and its Affiliates having operational and
accounting responsibilities for the Facility(ies) so specified by Landlord
and
to review, and make abstracts from and copies of, the books, accounts and
records of Tenant and its Affiliates relative to any such Facility(ies). Unless
otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord and Tenant, all of the discussions,
reviews, abstracting and copying referenced in this Section 25.13 shall occur
during normal business hours.
64
25.14
Format.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord the financial information, statements, reports,
operating budgets and other financial data contemplated by Section 25 in hard copy and
electronic form and in a format acceptable to Landlord in the exercise of its
reasonable discretion.
26. Landlord’s
Right to Inspect.
Tenant shall permit Landlord, Landlord’s Representatives, any then
current or prospective Facility Mortgagee or other lender to Landlord, any
then
current or prospective investment banker, mortgage broker or other professional
engaged by Landlord, any prospective purchaser of any Leased Property or any
investor in Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord and/or any prospective lessee,
and its and their respective authorized representatives, to enter upon and
conduct a physical inspection of any Leased Property during normal business
hours and, except in an emergency, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’
prior written notice, subject to any security, health, safety or confidentiality
requirements of any Governmental Authority relating to the Premises, or imposed
by law or applicable regulations or any insurance requirement, and provided
that
no such entry or inspection shall materially interfere with Tenant’s business
operations within the affected Leased Property(ies). Nothing contained in this
Section 26 shall limit
or impair Landlord’s right to immediately enter upon and inspect the Premises,
or any of Landlord’s other rights or remedies, upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default by Tenant.
27. No
Waiver. No
failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any
term
hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach
thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the
continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach
or
of any such term. To the extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall
affect or alter this Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect with
respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.
28.
Single
Lease.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that the agreement between Landlord
and
Tenant to treat this Lease as single lease in all respects was and is of primary
importance to Landlord, and Landlord would not have entered into this Lease
without there being such an agreement and such treatment of this Lease. All
rights and obligations under this Lease relating to the Premises shall apply
to
each Leased Property and any default under this Lease pertaining to a single
Leased Property or to the Premises or any portion thereof shall be an Event
of
Default pertaining to the Premises and each Leased Property. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing,
the parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding any references herein
to
any individual Leased Property and notwithstanding the possibility that certain
individual Leased Properties may be deleted herefrom pursuant to the express
provisions of this Lease under certain limited circumstances, the parties hereto
expressly intend and agree that this Lease is not divisible and shall be treated
as a single lease for all purposes whatsoever (including, without limitation,
in
the context of Tenant’s attempted rejection, assumption and/or assignment of
this Lease in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding affecting any
Tenant, in which case the parties hereto intend for such rejection to terminate
this Lease with respect to the entire Premises or such assumption to apply
with
respect to the entire Premises, i.e., all but not less
than
all of the Leased Properties). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
28 or elsewhere
in this Lease to the contrary, the existence of Tenant’s Proportionate Share and
the allocations of Rent described in Section
3.1.2 hereof
and elsewhere in this Lease do not change the joint and several nature of each
Tenant’s obligation to pay all Rent owing hereunder as provided in Section
1.3 above. This
Lease does not constitute, and may not be enforced (except at Landlord’s sole
discretion in connection with a Limited Termination Election) or treated as,
a
separate lease for any individual Leased Property. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the right of possession and leasehold right granted to each Tenant
hereunder is limited as provided in Section
1.3
above.
65
29. Acceptance
of Surrender.
No surrender to Landlord of this Lease or of any Leased
Property or any part thereof, or of any interest herein or therein, shall be
valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Landlord, and
no
act by Landlord or any representative or agent of Landlord, other than such
a
written acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute an acceptance of any such
surrender.
30.
No
Merger of Title.
There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold
estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire,
own or hold, directly or indirectly, (i) this Lease or the leasehold estate
created hereby or any interest in this Lease or such leasehold estate and (ii)
the fee estate in any Leased Property.
31.
Conveyance
by Landlord.
Landlord may, without the consent or approval of Tenant,
sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, hypothecate, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or any portion of the Premises. If Landlord or any successor
owner of any Leased Property shall sell, transfer, assign, convey or otherwise
dispose of any Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than
as
security for a debt, and the purchaser, grantee, assignee or transferee of
the
Leased Property(ies) shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord
hereunder with respect to such Leased Property(ies), arising or accruing from
and after the date of such sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or other
disposition, Landlord or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall
thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord
under this Lease with respect to such Leased Property(ies) arising or accruing
from and after the date of such sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or other
disposition as to such Leased Property(ies) and all such future liabilities
and
obligations with respect to such Leased Property(ies), shall thereupon be
binding upon such purchaser, grantee, assignee or transferee. In the event
of
any such sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or other disposition (other
than
as security for a debt) of less than all of the Premises, the provisions of
Section
40 hereof
governing New Leases shall apply.
32. Quiet
Enjoyment.
So long as Tenant shall pay all Rent as the same becomes due
and
shall fully comply with all of the terms of this Lease and fully perform its
obligations hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly enjoy each Leased
Property for the Term hereof, free of any claim, interruption or other action
by
Landlord or anyone claiming through Landlord, but subject to all Permitted
Encumbrances. No failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant
shall
give Tenant any right to xxxxx, reduce or make a deduction from or offset
against the Rent or any other sum payable under this Lease, or to fail to
perform any other obligation of Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity, except
as otherwise provided herein, by separate and independent action, to pursue
any
claim or claims it may have against Landlord as a result of any breach by
Landlord of the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in this Section 32.
66
33. Notices.
All
notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and delivered (i) by mail (registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested), in which case such notice shall be deemed
received three (3) Business Days after its deposit, (ii) by confirmed facsimile,
in which case such notice shall be deemed received the next Business Day, or

34. General
REIT Provisions.
Tenant understands that, in order for Landlord’s Affiliate,
Ventas, Inc., to qualify as a REIT, certain requirements (the “REIT Requirements”) must be
satisfied, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 856 of
the
Code. Accordingly, Tenant agrees, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, permitted
subtenants, if any, and any other parties subject to its control by ownership
or
contract, to reasonably cooperate with Landlord to ensure that the REIT
Requirements are satisfied, including, but not limited to, providing Landlord
or
Ventas, Inc. with information about the ownership of Tenant and its Affiliates.
Tenant agrees, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, upon request by Landlord
or
Ventas, Inc., to take all action reasonably necessary to ensure compliance
with
the REIT Requirements.
35. Transfer
of Tenant’s
Personal Property. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease with respect to a Leased Property (unless such termination is the
result of Tenant’s purchase of such Leased Property), all Tenant’s Personal
Property relating to such Leased Property (excluding the specific items of
Tenant’s Personal Property described below, which property may be retained and
removed by Tenant) shall become the property of Landlord, free of any lien,
claim or encumbrance, and Tenant shall, at its expense, take any actions
reasonably necessary to discharge any applicable lien, claim or encumbrance
(and, relative to any such Tenant’s Personal Property that is leased by Tenant,
Tenant agrees, at its expense, immediately to acquire title thereto, in order
to
be able to convey title thereto to Landlord as provided in this Section 35). Landlord
acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s automobiles, vans, computer hardware,
proprietary software, names, trademarks and accounts receivable that are
included in the Tenant’s Personal Property are not to be transferred to Landlord
pursuant to this Section 35
(subject, in the case
of Tenant’s names, to the provisions of Section 37.4 below and subject
further to Section 35 as
to such Tenant’s Personal Property (exclusive of Tenant’s computer hardware,
proprietary software, names and tradenames)). Tenant shall execute and deliver
such assignments, conveyance documents, bills of sale and other instruments
as
Landlord shall reasonably require to evidence the conveyances and transfers
referenced in this Section 35
and otherwise reasonably
assist Landlord with such conveyances and
transfers.
68
36.
Compliance With
Environmental Laws.
36.1 Hazardous
Substances.
Tenant shall not place or hold any Hazardous Substances under,
on
or at any of the Leased Properties, except as is necessary or reasonable in
the
ordinary course of its business. If Tenant’s business requires the use of any
Hazardous Substances, other than such cleaning materials as are typically found
in healthcare facilities, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing and shall
comply with hazard communication and notification requirements of the
Occupational Safety and Health Act and any other Environmental Laws with respect
to such Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall comply with all Environmental Laws
in
connection with its use, operation and management of the Leased Properties.
Tenant shall not cause or allow any asbestos to be incorporated into any Leased
Improvements or Alterations that it makes or causes to be made on or to any
of
the Leased Improvements. Tenant shall not use any of the Leased Properties
as a
treatment, storage, or disposal (whether permanent or temporary) facility for
Hazardous Substances as defined under RCRA. If Tenant, in the ordinary course
of
its business, generates Hazardous Substances, then Tenant shall comply with
all
Environmental Laws relating to the appropriate use, storage, transportation
and
disposal of Hazardous Substances. Tenant further agrees that it shall properly,
and in compliance with all Environmental Laws, dispose of all “infectious waste”
such as, without limitation, laboratory waste, pathological waste, blood
specimens or products, resident or patient waste, including, without limitation,
bandages and disposable gowns, sharp waste and any material generated by the
production or testing of biological agents. All of the terms, covenants,
warranties and indemnifications contained in this Section 36 shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
36.2
Remediation;
Notification.
If Tenant becomes aware of a material violation of any
Environmental Laws relating to any Hazardous Substance or otherwise in, on,
under or about any Leased Property, or if Tenant, Landlord or a Leased Property
becomes subject to any order of any federal, state or local agency to repair,
close, detoxify, decontaminate or otherwise remediate such Leased Property,
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of such event and, at its sole cost and
expense, cure such violation or effect such repair, closure, detoxification,
decontamination or other remediation, which activities shall in all events
be
performed in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws and shall be
subject to Landlord’s written approval as to their scope, process, content and
standard for completion prior to their commencement, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. If Tenant fails to implement and diligently pursue any
such cure, repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination or other remediation
as required under this Section
36.2, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to carry out
such action and to recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall promptly
notify the other upon becoming aware (or being notified) of (i) any claims,
suits, proceedings, investigations or demands, or any enforcement, cleanup
or
other regulatory or judicial action, threatened, made, or initiated against
or
involving it and relating to any of the Leased Properties pursuant to any
Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, those relating to the
presence, treatment, storage, handling, disposal, generation, spill, release
or
discharge of any Hazardous Substances on, at, in, under or about the Leased
Properties or the migration thereof from or to any other property; and (ii)
the
imposition of any lien arising under Environmental Laws on any of the Leased
Properties.
69
36.3
Indemnity.
Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, save, hold Landlord
and
all of the Landlord Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all
Losses (including, but not limited to, losses of use or economic benefit or
diminution in value) suffered or incurred by Landlord or any Landlord
Indemnified Parties in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or
incident to: (i) the production, use, generation, storage, treatment,
transporting, disposal, discharge, release or other handling or disposition
of
any Hazardous Substances from, in, on or about any of the Leased Properties,
whenever caused, arising or occurring, except (a) to the extent caused by
Landlord or any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties from and after the
Commencement Date and (b) to the extent arising or occurring prior to the date
hereof; (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about
any
Leased Properties during the Term; (iii) the violation of any Environmental
Laws
with respect to any Leased Property during the Term; and (iv) any breach by
Tenant or any Tenant Parties of this Section 36.
36.4
Environmental
Inspection.
Landlord shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) days’
written notice to Tenant, except in the case of an emergency,
in which event no
notice shall be required, to conduct an inspection of any Leased Property to
determine the existence or presence of Hazardous Substances at, in, on, under
or
about any Leased Property in violation of any Environmental Laws or the
existence at any Leased Property of any violation of any Environmental Laws.
Landlord shall have the right to enter and inspect any Leased Property and
to
conduct any testing, sampling and analyses reasonably necessary and shall
further have the right to inspect materials brought into any Leased Property.
Landlord may, in its discretion, retain such experts to conduct the inspections,
or perform the tests, referred to herein, and to prepare a written report in
connection therewith. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Leased
Properties with regard to the management and disposal of Hazardous Substances
at
all reasonable times during the Term. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by Landlord under this Section
36.4 shall be paid by Tenant as Consent Expenses.
36.5
Removal.
Upon
the earlier of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease as to one
or
more Leased Properties, Tenant shall forthwith remove all Hazardous Substances
from any portion of the Leased Properties as to which such expiration or
termination relates, to the extent such Hazardous Substances are present due
to
the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Parties, which removal shall
be
performed in accordance with any Environmental Laws and to Landlord’s
satisfaction.
37.
Operational
Transfer.
37.1
Exercise;
Transfer of Authorizations.
37.1.1
Exercise.
Upon
(i) the expiration of this Lease as to any Leased Property in accordance with
its terms as of the Expiration Date applicable to such Leased Property, (ii)
the
occurrence of an Early Termination Event as to any Leased Property (including
any Deleted Property) or (iii) the earlier dispossession of Tenant from any
Leased Property, Landlord shall have the unequivocal, unilateral right to
require an Operational Transfer with respect to such Leased Property (any Leased
Property with respect to which Landlord elects to require an Operational
Transfer, a “Transition
Property”) by delivery of written notice to Tenant specifying such
election (a “Transition
Notice”). Landlord may exercise (in its sole discretion) its right to
require an Operational Transfer, with respect to any Leased Property with
respect to which this Lease will terminate by its terms as of the Expiration
Date applicable to such
Leased Property, by delivering a Transition Notice on or prior to ten (10)
days
prior to such Expiration Date. In the event of an Early Termination Event as
to
any Leased Property or dispossession of Tenant with respect to any Leased
Property, Landlord may exercise (in its sole discretion) its right to require
an
Operational Transfer with respect to such Leased Property at any time by
delivering a Transition Notice to Tenant.
70
37.1.2
Transfer
of Authorizations.
If Landlord exercises its right to require an Operational Transfer
with respect to a particular Leased Property(ies), Tenant shall take any and
all
necessary actions; file such applications, petitions, and transfer notices;
make
such assignments, conveyances and transfers of permits, licenses, approvals
and
Facility Provider Agreements issued to Tenant to and for the benefit of Landlord
and/or any Landlord’s designee (any such designee, a “Successor Operator”); and
cause such permits, licenses, approvals and Facility Provider Agreements to
be
issued to and for the benefit of Landlord and/or any Successor Operator, in
any
and all such cases as are necessary, desirable, or advisable, such that the
day-to-day operations of the Transition Property(ies) for the Primary Intended
Use(s) of the Facility(ies) located on such Transition Property(ies) are
transferred and transitioned, practically and legally, to Landlord and/or any
Successor Operator simultaneously with the termination or earlier expiration
of
this Lease as to the Transition Property(ies) without interruption of the
business activities therein, regulatory or otherwise (such transfer of
operations, an “Operational
Transfer”). Without limitation of the foregoing or any other rights of
Landlord or any Successor Operator as set forth in this Section 37, as part of any
Operational Transfer, Tenant shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
(i) sell, transfer, convey and assign to Landlord and/or any Successor Operator,
as applicable, those of the Authorizations that Landlord elects to assume and
accept (or cause Successor Operator to assume and accept) (the “Assigned Authorizations”) or
allow Landlord or any Successor Operator to continue to rely upon any
Authorizations (including, but not limited to, any Facility Provider
Agreements); (ii) use its unconditional, best efforts to enable Landlord and/or
Successor Operator to apply for and obtain any and all licenses, operating
permits, Provider Agreements, provider status, certificates of need,
certificates of exemption, approvals, waivers, variances and other governmental,
quasi-governmental and private authorizations necessary or advisable for the
continuous operation of the Facility(ies) located on each Transition Property
for its/their Primary Intended Use(s) (collectively, “Transfer Authorizations”);
(iii) assign to Landlord
or any Successor Operator, as applicable, such
assignable patient, vendor, service provider and other contracts relating to
the
Facility(ies) located on each Transition Property as Landlord or any Successor
Operator may request (the “Assigned Contracts”); (iv) if
requested by Landlord, enter into an operations transfer agreement with Landlord
or Successor Operator, as applicable, that is reasonably acceptable to Landlord;
(v) not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to entering into
any interim sublease or management agreements as may be necessary to effectuate
an early transfer of the operations of the Facility(ies) located on each
Transition Property for its/their Primary Intended Use(s) prior to the time
that
Landlord or Successor Operator, as applicable, holds all Authorizations from
all
applicable Governmental Authorities necessary to so operate such Facility(ies);
and (vi) indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and any Successor
Operator from and against any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by Landlord
or Successor Operator in connection with the correction of any and all
deficiencies of a physical nature identified by any Governmental Authority
in
the course of any Operational Transfer. The costs and expenses incident to
any
Operational Transfer, including, but not limited to, any costs incident to
assigning the Assigned Authorizations, obtaining Transfer Authorizations and
assigning the Assigned Contracts, shall be paid entirely by Tenant as Consent
Expenses. It is the express
intention of the parties that, at the expiration or earlier termination of
the
Term as to each Transition Property, and upon any dispossession of Tenant in
connection with any Event of Default as to any Facility(ies) located on a
Transition Property, any and all Authorizations needed to operate each
Transition Property as to which the Term is expired or terminated, or as to
which Tenant has been dispossessed, for its/their Primary Intended Use(s) shall,
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and if Landlord so elects,
remain with such Facility(ies) and shall be transferred into the name of
Landlord and/or Successor Operator, as applicable, regardless of whether any
such Authorization is in the name of Tenant at any time during the
Term.
71
37.2
Reasonable
Assistance.
In anticipation of the expiration of this Lease as to any Leased
Property, or upon any Early Termination Event as to any Leased Property, or
the
earlier dispossession of Tenant with respect to any Leased Property, Tenant
shall cooperate with Landlord in all respects to facilitate and effectuate
an
Operational Transfer if Landlord elects to require an Operational Transfer.
Such
cooperation shall include, without limitation: (i) furnishing to Landlord or
any
prospective Successor Operator complete and accurate books, records, files,
documents and information in Tenant’s possession, custody or control necessary
or reasonably requested by Landlord or Successor Operator in connection with
any
Operational Transfer, the assessment and/or assumption of the operations of
any
Transition Property(ies) and/or the completion and processing of any
applications for the assignment of the Assigned Authorizations or the Assigned
Contracts or obtaining Transfer Authorizations; and (ii) facilitating the
evaluation and employment by Landlord or any prospective Successor Operator
of
such employees of Tenant or its Affiliates (or any third party employment agency
with whom Tenant or its Affiliates has an agreement pursuant to which such
agency employs such parties) as Landlord or Successor Operator may elect to
evaluate or employ, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted
by
law, affording Landlord or Successor Operator, as applicable, access to all
relevant personnel files, records, documents and information in Tenant’s or its
Affiliates’ possession, custody or control.
37.3
Facility Termination;
Limited Term Contraction Right; Limited Extended
Operation by
Tenant.
37.3.1
Facility
Termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
Tenant shall not, prior to the tenth (10th)
day preceding
the Expiration Date applicable to each Leased Property, commence to wind up
and
terminate the operations of the Facility(ies) operated thereon (a “Facility Termination”). In no
event, and under no circumstances, shall any Tenant relocate the patients or
occupants of any Facility to any other healthcare facility without obtaining
Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s
sole discretion); provided, however, that, if Landlord has not delivered a
Transition Notice to Tenant prior to the tenth (10th)
day preceding
the Expiration Date applicable under this Lease to a particular Leased Property,
then Tenant may commence the Facility Termination (including the relocation
of
patients) as to the Facility(ies) located on such Leased Property and, upon
the
expiration of this Lease as to such Leased Property and Facility(ies), Tenant
shall vacate such Leased Property and surrender possession thereof to Landlord
in accordance with all of the applicable requirements of this Lease. If, prior
to the tenth (10th)
day preceding
the Expiration Date applicable under this Lease to a particular Leased Property,
Landlord elects to require an Operational Transfer by delivering a Transition
Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall not commence or otherwise engage in a Facility
Termination with respect to the
Facility(ies) located on such Leased Property. In the event of an Early
Termination Event or early dispossession of Tenant with respect to any Leased
Property, Tenant shall in no event commence a Facility Termination in connection
with the applicable Leased Property unless and until Landlord affirmatively
elects, in writing and in its sole discretion, not to deliver a Transition
Notice with respect to such Leased Property.
72
37.3.2
Limited
Term Contraction
Right. Landlord shall have the right, as to each Leased Property,
to elect to contract the Term, and accelerate the Expiration Date, of this
Lease
as it applies to such Leased Property. To exercise such election and right
as to
a particular Leased Property, Landlord shall give a written notice (a “Contraction Notice”) to Tenant
specifying the revised, earlier Expiration Date that will, for all purposes
of
this Lease, thereafter be applicable to such Leased Property, which revised,
earlier Expiration Date so specified by Landlord shall be (i) not more than
one
hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date that was applicable
to
such Leased Property immediately prior to Landlord’s Contraction Notice with
respect thereto, (ii) no sooner than sixty (60) days after the date of
Landlord’s aforesaid Contraction Notice, and (iii) binding upon Landlord and
Tenant upon Landlord’s issuance of such Contraction Notice. Landlord may issue
one, but not more than one, Contraction Notice as to each Leased
Property.
37.3.3
Limited
Extended Operation
by Tenant. In the event Landlord delivers a Transition Notice as
to a particular Transition Property, Tenant shall thereafter operate the
Facility(ies) located on such Transition Property in accordance with all of
the
requirements of this Lease until the earliest to occur of (i) the date (on
or
after the expiration of this Lease as to such Transition Property and
Facility(ies)) on which Landlord or Successor Operator, as applicable, will
assume the operation of such Facility(ies), as specified in a written notice
from Landlord to Tenant given not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the
date
of such assumption; (ii) the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after
the Expiration Date applicable to such Transition Property and Facility(ies)
(except that in connection with any Early Termination Event or any early
dispossession of Tenant with respect to any Leased Property, such one hundred
twenty (120) day period shall not commence until Landlord delivers a Transition
Notice as to the applicable Leased Property); and (iii) the date (on or after
the Expiration Date applicable to any Transition Property and Facility(ies))
that is ninety (90) days after Tenant receives written notice from Landlord
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may commence the Facility
Termination, on which earliest date, Tenant shall vacate the Leased Property
in
question and surrender possession thereof to Landlord in accordance with all
of
the applicable requirements of this Lease. In the event Landlord sends Tenant
a
Transition Notice with respect to a Leased Property as to which this Lease
has
terminated as of the Expiration Date applicable to such Leased Property (e.g.
not in the case of an Early Termination Event or early dispossession of Tenant),
and, as a result thereof, Tenant operates a Facility(ies) beyond the aforesaid
Expiration Date applicable to such Leased Property, then, from and after the
expiration of this Lease as to such Leased Property and until the earliest
to
occur of the dates described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above relative
to
such Leased Property (the “Reimbursement Period”), (x)
Landlord shall provide Tenant with an operating budget, (y) Landlord shall
include in the aforesaid operating budget, and Tenant shall continue to pay
during the Reimbursement Period, all Rent that would have been owing under
this
Lease as to such Leased Property if this Lease had not expired as to such Leased
Property, and (z) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any operating deficits
with respect to such Leased Property that Tenant may be required to fund
out-of-pocket on account of operating losses and expenses of such Leased
Property incurred by Tenant
by
reason of, or arising out of compliance with, such budget with respect to the
Reimbursement Period applicable to such Leased Property. Any such reimbursement
shall be due from Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after written
request by Tenant, provided that Tenant shall furnish such documentation of
any
operating deficits, losses and expenses as Landlord may reasonably request.
The
terms of this Section 37
shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease.
73
37.4
Use
of Tenant’s Names.
Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 37
and
notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant agrees to allow
Landlord or any Successor Operator, at its option and at no cost to Landlord
or
any such Successor Operator, to continue to use, in its signage, marketing
and
advertising materials, operations and otherwise, any or all name(s) (including,
without limitation, tradenames) associated with the operation of a particular
Leased Property and related Facility(ies) as a going concern (e.g. Summerville
at South Windsor) for up to one hundred twenty (120) days following (i) the
expiration or termination of this Lease as it applies to such Leased Property
and Facility(ies) and (ii) the vacation from, and surrender of, such Leased
Property and Facility(ies) by Tenant in accordance with this Section 37 and the other
requirements of this Lease. At the end of such one hundred twenty day (120)
period, or upon sooner written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall,
promptly and at its expense, remove its aforesaid name(s) from all signs and
other Leased Improvements at such Leased Property and Facility(ies) and repair
any damage to such signs or other Leased Improvements caused by such removal.
Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant, not Landlord, owns the aforesaid
names and that neither Landlord nor any Successor Operator may use the same
except as described in this Section 37.4 or as otherwise
agreed in writing by Tenant.
38. Non-Recourse.
Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to Landlord’s and any
successor owner’s interest in the then applicable Premises for recovery of any
judgment from Landlord, it being specifically agreed that neither Landlord,
any
such successor owner, nor any officer, director, employee, lender, agent or
Affiliate of Landlord or any such successor owner shall ever be personally
liable for any such judgment or for the payment of any monetary obligation
to
Tenant. Tenant shall have no recourse against any other property or assets
of
Landlord or any successor owner, or against any property or assets of any
officer, director, employee, lender, agent or Affiliate of Landlord or any
successor owner. Furthermore, in no event shall Landlord (original or successor)
ever be liable to Tenant for any special, indirect or consequential damages
suffered by Tenant from whatever cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, nothing in this Section
38 shall limit Guarantor’s obligations under the Lease
Guaranty.
39. Combination
of Leases.
If Landlord is the landlord under both this Lease and any Other
Lease, Landlord shall have the right, at any time during the Term, by written
notice to Tenant, to require that this Lease and such Other Lease (the “Combination Lease”) be
combined into a single lease and to require Tenant to execute an amendment
to
this Lease whereby (i) if this Lease is the Section 39 Lease, the Leased
Properties covered by the Combination Lease (“Additional
Properties”) are
added as Leased Properties under this Lease and otherwise merged into this
Lease
or (ii) if the Combination Lease is the Section 39 Lease, the Leased Properties
covered by this Lease are added as Leased Properties under the Combination
Lease
and otherwise merged into the Combination Lease, in each case subject to the
following terms and conditions:
74
39.1
Section
39 Lease.
References in this Lease to the “Section 39
Lease” shall mean
and refer to whichever of this Lease or the Combination Lease is chosen by
Landlord to be the Section 39 Lease.
39.2
Additional
Properties.
If this Lease is the Section 39 Lease, effective as of the date
specified in Section 39.4
below (the “Section
39
Date”), this Lease shall be deemed to be amended as follows:
39.2.1
The
Additional Properties shall be included as Leased Properties under this Lease
and the appropriate exhibits to this Lease shall be amended to add the addresses
and legal descriptions of such Additional Properties.
39.2.2 Fixed
Rent under this Lease shall be the combination of the respective
amounts of the Fixed Rent under this Lease and the Combination Lease
.
39.2.3
Any
rental escalations that are to be made with respect to the Leased Properties
under this Lease shall also be made with respect to the Additional Properties
as
if such Additional Properties had been Leased Properties under this Lease since
the beginning of the Term.
39.2.4
Schedule
2
to this Lease shall be amended so as to add thereto the Tenant’s
Proportionate Share(s) relative to the Tenant(s) under the Combination Lease
that was/were previously included in Schedule 2 to the Combination
Lease, and the Tenant’s Proportionate Share(s) of the Tenant(s) included in this
Lease (including, without limitation, the additional Tenant(s) from the
Combination Lease) shall be recalculated so that each such Tenant shall have
a
Tenant’s Proportionate Share equal to the percentage that the Fixed Rent
allocable to the Facility(ies) operated by such Tenant (which allocable portion
of Fixed Rent shall remain equal to the share of Fixed Rent that was allocated
to such Facility(ies) under this Lease or the Combination Lease, as applicable,
prior to the combination of the Leases pursuant to this Section 39)
comprises
of the aggregate
Fixed Rents for all Leased Properties included in this Lease (including, without
limitation, the Additional Properties) and so that the aggregate of all Tenant’s
Proportionate Shares equals one hundred percent (100%).
39.2.5
Tenant under this Lease shall be responsible for the payment, performance
and satisfaction of all duties, obligations and liabilities arising under the
Combination Lease, insofar as they relate to the Additional Properties, that
were not paid, performed and satisfied in full prior to the Section 39 Date,
and, without limitation of the foregoing, (i) any Event of Default that had
occurred, arisen or accrued under the Combination Lease prior to the Section
39
Date shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an Event of Default under this Lease,
as to which the rights and remedies and other provisions of this Lease shall
be
applicable, (ii) any breach or default that had occurred, arisen or accrued
under the Combination Lease prior to the Section 39 Date but had not yet become
an Event of Default under the Combination Lease as of the Section 39 Date shall
be, and be deemed to be, a breach or default under this Lease, as to which
the
cure periods, rights and remedies and other provisions of this Lease shall
be
applicable, and (iii) with respect to any breach or default described in
subsection (ii) above, although the cure periods, rights and remedies and other
provisions of this Lease shall be applicable, the portion of any cure period
under the Combination Lease that had elapsed as of the Section 39 Date shall
be
counted in determining whether and when the applicable cure period under this
Lease has expired.
75
39.2.6
The
Additional Properties shall otherwise be incorporated into this Lease as Leased
Properties included under this Lease the same as if this Lease, from the
inception of the Lease, had included such Leased Properties as Leased Properties
hereunder on the rent, lease terms and other economic terms described in the
Combination Lease (and, in such regard, any provisions of the Combination Lease
that apply particularly, or in a particular manner, to any or all of the
Additional Properties shall continue to apply thereto under this
Lease).
39.2.7
Intentionally omitted.
39.3
Combination
Lease.
If this Lease is not the Section 39 Lease, effective as of the
Section 39 Date, this Lease shall be amended as necessary (i) to incorporate
into the Combination Lease as Leased Properties thereunder the Leased Properties
covered by this Lease the same as if the Leased Properties covered by this
Lease
had, from the inception of this Lease, been included in the Combination Lease
as
Leased Properties thereunder on the rent, lease terms and other economic terms
described in this Lease and (ii) otherwise to comply with the requirements
of
Section 39 of the
Combination Lease, as the Section 39 Lease thereunder. Tenant acknowledges
and
agrees that, without limitation of Section 39.2.5 above, the
amendment referenced in this Section 39.3 shall not result
in Tenant being released from any duties, liabilities or obligations that had
accrued under this Lease through the Section 39 Date.
39.4
Section
39 Date.
In the case of any combination of leases pursuant to this Section 39,
such
combination
shall be effective on the date that is the earlier of (i) the date the required
amendments to the Lease and the Combination Lease are fully executed and
delivered by the parties thereto and (ii) the date specified in the written
notice from Landlord to Tenant requiring a combination of this Lease and the
Combination Lease as described above, which date shall be no sooner than ten
(10) days, nor later than sixty (60) days, after the date such notice is
issued.
39.5
Additional
Actions.
Landlord and each Tenant shall take such actions and execute
and
deliver such documents, including, without limitation, required amendments
to
this Lease and the Combination Lease, as are reasonably necessary and
appropriate to effectuate fully the provisions and intent of this Section 39 and, in the event
any ambiguity, or actual or apparent conflict in the terms or provisions of
this
Lease and the Combination Lease, arises on account of any combination of leases
pursuant to this Section 39,
such ambiguity or
conflict shall be resolved by Landlord, in its
reasonable discretion.
40.
New
Lease.
Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from time to time
during the Term, by written notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to execute
an
amendment to this Lease whereby one or more Leased Properties (individually,
a
“Transferred Premises”
or collectively, “Transferred
Premises”) are
separated and removed from this Lease, and simultaneously to execute a
substitute lease with respect to such Transferred Premises, in which
case:
40.1
New
Lease Terms.
Landlord and Tenant shall execute a new lease (the “New Lease”) for
such
Transferred Premises, effective as of the date specified in Section 40.3 below (the “Property
Transfer Date”), in
the same form and substance as this Lease, but with the following changes
thereto:
76
40.1.1
Fixed
Rent.
The initial Fixed Rent for such Transferred Premises shall be
an
amount equal to the product of (i) the sum of Tenant’s Proportionate Shares
applicable to all of the Facilities located on the Transferred Premises, and
(ii) aggregate Fixed Rent in effect under this Lease immediately prior to the
Property Transfer Date. The allocable share of Fixed Rent for each Tenant under
the New Lease shall be equal to the product of (x) Tenant’s Proportionate Share
for the Facility(ies) located on such Transferred Premises under the New Lease,
as calculated pursuant to Section 40.1.2, and (y) Fixed
Rent under the New Lease. Any rental escalations required under this Lease
shall
be made under the New Lease on the same date and in the same manner as is
required under this Lease, in the full amount required as if such Transferred
Premises had been under the New Lease for a full year, notwithstanding that
the
period from the Property Transfer Date to the rent escalation date may be less
than one full year. The Base Year Patient Revenues applicable to the Transferred
Premises for purposes of determining whether the Rent Escalation Condition
under
such New Lease has been satisfied shall be equal to the aggregate of the
Allocated Base Year Patient Revenues for all of the Transferred
Premises.
40.1.2
Proportionate
Shares.
An exhibit to such New Lease comparable to Schedule 2
attached
to this
Lease shall include a Tenant’s Proportionate Share for each Facility located on
the Transferred Premises covered by the New Lease equal to the percentage that
the Fixed Rent allocable to such Facility under the New Lease comprises of
the
aggregate Fixed Rent for all Facilities located on all of the Transferred
Premises under such New Lease (and the aggregate of all such Tenant’s
Proportionate Shares under such New Lease shall equal one hundred percent
(100%)).
40.1.3
Liabilities
and Obligations.
The New Lease shall provide that each Tenant thereunder shall
be
responsible for the payment, performance and satisfaction of all duties,
obligations and liabilities arising under this Lease, insofar as they relate
to
the Transferred Premises subject to the New Lease, that were not paid, performed
and satisfied in full prior to the commencement date of the New Lease (and
Tenant under this Lease shall also be responsible for the payment, performance
and satisfaction of the aforesaid duties, obligations and liabilities not paid,
performed and satisfied in full prior to the commencement date of such New
Lease), and shall further provide that the Tenant thereunder shall not be
responsible for the payment, performance or satisfaction of any duties,
obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease arising after the
Property Transfer Date.
40.1.4
Single
Leased Property.
If the New Lease relates to a single Leased Property, the New
Lease shall provide that (i) because, for example, such New Lease may thereafter
be amended by agreement of Landlord and Tenant to include one or more other
leased properties or such New Lease may thereafter be combined with a
Combination Lease pursuant to Section 39 of such New Lease, with such New Lease
as the Section 39 Lease, Landlord and Tenant under such New Lease have, in
creating such New Lease, nevertheless retained in such New Lease references
to
multiple Leased Properties and provisions and terms that apply to multiple
Leased Properties and (ii) without limitation of and subject to Section 39
of
such New Lease, for so long as such New Lease relates to a single Leased
Property, the aforesaid references to multiple Leased Properties, and the
aforesaid provisions and terms applicable to multiple Leased Properties, shall,
if the context so requires in light of such New Lease relating to only a single
Leased Property, be treated as references to a single Leased Property or as
provisions and terms applicable to a single Leased Property.
77
40.1.5
Deletion
of Provisions.
At the election of Landlord, any one or more of the provisions
of
the New Lease pertaining to the REIT status of Ventas, Inc. shall be deleted.
In
addition, Landlord may delete and eliminate from such New Lease such provisions
herein as it elects, provided such deletion and elimination do not materially
and adversely affect the Tenant under such New Lease.
40.1.6
Security
Deposit; Escrow
Deposits; Capital Expenditures Deposits.
Such
New Lease shall contemplate both a security deposit and escrow and capital
expenditures deposits in the same manner or fashion as contemplated by this
Lease. Such amounts under the New Lease shall initially be funded by Landlord
from the Security Deposit held by Landlord and the escrow and capital
expenditures deposits held in the Escrow Account and Capital Expenditures
Account, with the Security Deposit under the New Lease to be equal to the
product of (i) the sum of Tenant’s Proportionate Shares applicable to all of the
Facilities located on the Transferred Premises and (ii) the aggregate Security
Deposit held by Landlord under this Lease immediately prior to the Property
Transfer Date and the initial amounts to be held in the escrow and capital
expenditures accounts under the New Lease to be determined as provided in Section 11.3.4
hereof.
40.2
Amendments
to this Lease.
Upon execution of such New Lease, and effective as of the Property
Transfer Date, this Lease shall be deemed to be amended as follows: (i) the
Transferred Premises shall be excluded from the Premises hereunder; (ii) Fixed
Rent hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of the Fixed Rent allocable to
the
Transferred Premises; (iii) Exhibit C attached hereto and
the Base Year Patient Revenues shall be amended and reduced, respectively,
to
delete and eliminate the Transferred Premises therefrom and reduce the Base
Year
Patient Revenues by the amount of the Allocated Base Year Patient Revenues
applicable to the Transferred Premises for purposes of determining whether
the
Rent Escalation Condition has been satisfied or otherwise under this Lease;
and
(iv) Schedule 2 attached
hereto shall be modified so as to remove the Tenant’s Proportionate Shares for
the Transferred Premises, and the Tenant’s Proportionate Shares for the Leased
Properties remaining under this Lease shall be recalculated so that each such
Facility shall have a Tenant’s Proportionate Share equal to the percentage that
the Fixed Rent for such Facility comprises of the aggregate Fixed Rents for
all
Premises remaining under this Lease, and so that the aggregate of all Tenant’s
Proportionate Shares remaining under this Lease equals 100%. Such amendments
shall occur automatically and without the necessity of any further action by
Landlord or Tenant, but, at Landlord’s election, the same shall be reflected in
a formal amendment to this Lease, which amendment shall be promptly executed
by
Tenant.
40.3
Effective
Date.
Any New Lease shall be effective on the date which is the earlier
of: (i) the date the New Lease is fully executed and delivered by the parties
thereto and (ii) the date specified in the written notice from Landlord to
Tenant requiring a New Lease as described above, which date shall be no sooner
than ten (10) days, nor later than sixty (60) days, after the date such notice
is issued.
40.4
Other
Undertakings.
Tenant shall take such actions and execute and deliver such
documents, including without limitation the New Lease and new or amended
Memorandum(s) of Lease and, if requested by Landlord, an amendment to this
Lease, as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectuate fully the
provisions and intent of this Section 40, and Landlord shall
execute and deliver such new or amended Memorandum(s) of Lease
as
are reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectuate fully the provisions

pay any Rent owing hereunder with respect to any period on or prior to the
expiration or termination of this Lease, as this Lease applies to any or all
of
the Premises, shall survive any such expiration or termination.

42.5
Counterparts.
This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of
which shall be a valid and binding original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
42.6
Integration;
Modification;
Interpretation. This Lease (including, without limitation, the
preamble, recitals, schedules and exhibits hereto, each of which is fully
incorporated into and made a part of this Lease) contains the entire agreement
between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. Landlord

agreements or negotiations relative to the leasing of the Premises are merged
into and revoked by this Lease. No representations, warranties or agreements
have been made by Landlord except as set forth in this Lease. This Lease may

79
42.7
Time
of Essence.
Time is of the essence of this Lease and each provision hereof
in
which time of performance is established.
42.8
Force
Majeure.
In the event that either Landlord or Tenant is delayed in
performing its respective obligations pursuant to this Lease by any cause beyond
the reasonable control of the party required to perform such obligation, the
time period for performing such obligation shall be extended by a period of
time
equal to the period of the delay. For purposes of this Lease: (i) a cause shall
be beyond the reasonable control of a party to this Lease when such cause would
affect any Person similarly situated (such as a power outage, labor strike,
Act
of God or trucker’s strike) but shall not be beyond the reasonable control of
such party when peculiar to such party (such as financial inability or failure
to order long lead time material sufficiently in advance); (ii) this Section
shall not apply to any obligation to pay money or otherwise perform any
financial obligation hereunder; and (iii) in the event of any occurrence that
a
party believes constitutes a cause beyond the reasonable control of such party
and that will delay any performance by such party, such party shall promptly
in
writing notify the other party of the occurrence and nature of such cause,
the
anticipated period of delay and the steps being taken by such party to mitigate
the effects of such delay.
42.9
Severability;
Maximum Rate.
If any term or provision of this Lease is held or deemed to be
invalid or unenforceable, such term or provision shall be modified as slightly
as possible so as to render it valid and enforceable; if such term or provision,
as modified, shall be held or deemed invalid or unenforceable, such holding
shall not affect the remainder of this Lease and same shall remain in full
force
and effect. If any late charges or interest computations provided for in any
provision of this Lease are based upon a rate in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law, the parties agree that such charges or interest
computations shall be fixed at the maximum permissible rate.
42.10
Governing
Law; Venue.
This Lease was negotiated in the State of Illinois, which State
the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the
underlying transaction embodied hereby. In all respects, the internal laws
of
the State of Illinois (without regard to principles of conflicts of laws) and
any applicable laws of the United States of America shall govern the validity,
enforceability and construction of the obligations of the parties set forth
herein, but all provisions hereof relating to the creation of the leasehold
estate and remedies set forth in Section 17 shall be governed
by the laws of the State in which each applicable Leased Property that is the
subject of dispute is located. The parties hereto will submit to jurisdiction
and the laying of venue for any suit on this Lease in the Commonwealth of
Kentucky.

EACH OF LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD THE
ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.
EACH OF LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS LEASE
OR
(ii) IN ANY MANNER CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS
OF
LANDLORD AND TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT
OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREINAFTER
ARISING, AND
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF LANDLORD AND TENANT
HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT EITHER PARTY
MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE
CONSENT OF SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
80
42.12 Waivers;
Forbearance.
All waivers, consents and releases provided for in this Lease
are
effective only to the extent permitted by applicable law. No waiver of any
condition or covenant herein contained, or of any breach of any such condition
or covenant, shall be held or taken to be a waiver of any subsequent breach
of
such covenant or condition, or to permit or excuse its continuance or any future
breach thereof, or of Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease or exercise any
other remedy granted herein on account of such existing breach. No delay or
omission by either party hereto to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any
noncompliance or breach by the other party with respect to any of the terms
hereof shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver
thereof.
42.13
Binding
Character.
This Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit
of
the heirs, successors, personal representatives, and permitted assigns of
Landlord and Tenant.
42.14
Third
Party Beneficiary.
LaSalle shall not have any right of action of any kind hereon
or
be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder.
43. Renewal
Options.
43.1
Exercise
of Renewal Options.
Tenant is hereby granted the right to renew this Lease, with
respect to all, but not less than all, of the Premises for two (2), 5-year
option renewal terms (collectively, the “Extended Terms” and each an
“Extended
Term”) upon
giving written notice (a “Renewal Notice”) to Landlord
of each such renewal at least nine (9) months but not more than eighteen (18)
months prior to the termination of the then current Term, provided and on the
conditions that, (i) at the time Tenant gives a Renewal Notice and at the time
of the commencement of the applicable Extended Term, an Event of Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing under this Lease or any of the Other Leases,
and (ii) Tenant may only give a Renewal Notice if it simultaneously delivers
a
Renewal Notice (as the same may be defined in the Other Leases) with respect
to
the Other Leases. Tenant may not exercise its option for more than one Extended
Term at a time.
43.2
Renewal
Terms.
During each Extended Term, all of the terms and conditions of
this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, subject, however, to the
following provisions. If Fixed Rent for such first Lease Year of any such
Extended Term is based upon Fair Market Rental as determined pursuant to this
Section 43.2 and Section
43.3 hereof, the Fixed
Rent in the remaining Lease Years of such Extended Term shall be escalated
in
accordance with the escalation provisions set forth in Section 3.1.2 of this
Lease.
81
43.3
Fair
Market Rental
Determination. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt
from Tenant of a notice of renewal under Section 43.1 hereof with
respect to the Second Extended Term, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant,
request that the Fair Market Rental of the Premises, and the Fair Market
Rental
of each Leased Property within the Premises, be
determined by appraisal under the procedures of Exhibit G attached hereto
and
in such event such Fair Market Rentals shall be so determined in accordance
with
the procedures of such Exhibit
G. Landlord’s failure to deliver such notice to Tenant within thirty (30)
days after receiving Tenant’s notice of renewal shall preclude Landlord from any
claim that Fixed Rent for the first Lease Year of the Extended Term to which
such notice of renewal relates should be based upon the Fair Market Rental
of
the Premises, and Fixed Rent for such Extended Term (but only for that
particular Extended Term) shall be determined as set forth in Section 3.1.2 of this Lease,
without any application of the Fair Market Rental provisions of Section
43.2.
43.4
Extended
Period Tenant’s
Proportionate Shares. If Fixed Rent for the first Lease Year of
any Extended Term is based upon the Fair Market Rental of the Premises as
determined pursuant to Section
43.2 and Section 43.3
hereof, then,
effective as of the first day of such Extended Term, Schedule 2 attached hereto
shall be revised so as to allocate the aggregate Fixed Rent payable hereunder
to
the individual Leased Properties covered by this Lease, and to assign Tenant’s
Proportionate Shares to such Leased Properties, in a manner that is consistent
with the respective Fair Market Rentals of such Leased Properties as determined
pursuant to Section 43.2
and Section
43.3
hereof.
43.5
Other
Leases.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 43
or elsewhere
in
this Lease, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (i) any purported renewal notice
sent by it under this Lease shall be void and of no force or effect unless,
simultaneously with the issuance of any such renewal notice, the tenant under
each of the Other Leases that remains in effect also issues a renewal notice
with respect to the property(ies) to which each such Other Lease applies and
(ii) an Event of Default by any such other tenant of its obligations under
its
Other Lease shall (x) constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder and
(y)
preclude Tenant’s exercise of renewal rights hereunder.
82
44.
Right of First
Offer.
If Landlord elects to sell any entire Leased Property(ies)
during
the Term, provided no Event of Default exists, then Landlord shall give
Tenant
an opportunity to purchase such Leased Property(ies) (the “Right of First Offer”) by
giving Tenant notice of its intent to sell (the “Right of First Offer
Notice”),
which Right of First Offer Notice shall include the sale price (the
“Offer Price”) and terms
Landlord is willing to offer to third parties for such Leased Property(ies)
(“Offer”).
Tenant
will then have
two (2) Business Days to either accept or reject such Offer. Should Tenant
fail
to accept such Offer on the terms and conditions set forth therein in writing
within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Right of First Offer
Notice
from Landlord, Landlord may sell or otherwise transfer such Leased Property(ies)
to any other party at any time on terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord
provided the purchase price paid by such other party is at least 85% of
Offer
Price and the closing of such sale or transfer occurs no later than the
date two
years after the date Landlord delivers the Right of First Offer Notice;
prior to
(x) selling the entire Leased Property(ies) during the such two-year period
for
a purchase price of less than 85% of the Offer Price, or (y) selling the
entire
Leased Property(ies) after the end of such two-year period, Landlord must
reoffer the Lease Property to Tenant pursuant to this Section 44. At the end of
the
Term, the Tenant’s rights under this Section 44 with respect to
such Leased Property(ies) shall be deemed forever extinguished. Should
Tenant
elect to accept such Offer on the terms and conditions set forth therein,
promptly but in any event no more than five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s
acceptance, Tenant must deposit with Landlord in cash a nonrefundable (except
upon Landlord’s material default of any obligation it may have under the terms
of the accepted Offer or as otherwise provided in this Section 44) xxxxxxx money
deposit equal to five percent (5%) of the purchase price stated in the
accepted
Offer, and within five (5) Business Days of Tenant’s acceptance
of such Offer, Landlord and Tenant must enter into a binding agreement
(the
“Offer Purchase
Agreement”) to
purchase such Leased Property(ies), which Offer Purchase Agreement (i)
must be
on the terms and conditions of the accepted Offer, (ii) must provide that
the
purchase price will be paid in cash at closing, (iii) must provide that
the
closing of Tenant’s purchase of such Leased Property(ies) must take place no
later than thirty (30) days from the date Tenant accepts Landlord’s Offer, (iv)
will not provide Tenant with any right or entitlement to any due diligence
or
investigation period of or about the Leased Property(ies) pursuant to which
Tenant would have any unilateral right not to proceed to closing and (v)
must
otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant fails to enter
into
the Offer Purchase Agreement Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease,
but
rather Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected the Offer. Without limitation
of
the foregoing, Tenant’s obligation to close shall be absolute and there shall be
no conditions precedent or contingencies to Tenant’s obligation to consummate
its acquisition of any Leased Property(ies) (e.g. financing contingency)
pursuant to the Right of First Offer. The sale of any Leased Property(ies)
pursuant to the Right of First Offer and the Offer Purchase Agreement shall
(x)
include a quitclaim xxxx of sale with respect to any personal property
that both
(1) is leased to Tenant pursuant to the Lease and (2) relates exclusively
to the
Leased Property, and (y) be made on a strictly “AS IS,” “WHERE-IS” basis as of
the date of sale, without any representations, warranties or covenants,
of any
nature whatsoever, from Landlord, except that (a) if Landlord would covenant
to
a third party purchaser to have removed or bond over any liens of a definite
and
ascertainable amount prior to the closing, then the Offer Purchase Agreement
shall contain a similar covenant, provided that Tenant’s sole remedy for
Landlord’s breach of such covenant shall be to terminate the Offer Purchase
Agreement and receive a refund of its xxxxxxx money deposit, and (b) Landlord
shall covenant not to intentionally place any material encumbrances on
the
Property between the time of the Offer and the closing under the Offer
Purchase
Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s
Offer, Tenant must purchase the Leased Property(ies) that were the subject
of
the accepted Offer (other than the warranties contained in the special
warranty
deed(s) conveying same) for cash at the agreed upon purchase price (minus
the
xxxxxxx money down payment previously paid to Landlord). Should (w) Landlord
sell the Leased Property(ies) to a third party after complying with its
obligations under this Section
44, (x) Tenant fail to make the nonrefundable xxxxxxx money deposit
within the five (5) Business Days period described above, (y) Landlord
and
Tenant fail to enter into a binding agreement to purchase the Leased
Property(ies) within the five (5) Business Days period described above,
or (z)
Tenant fail to purchase said Leased Property(ies) after entering into such
binding agreement for any reason other than a default of Landlord within
the
thirty (30) day period describe above, then Tenant’s rights under this Section 44 with respect to
such Leased Property(ies) shall be deemed forever extinguished, Tenant
shall
have no further rights under this Section 44 with respect to
such Leased Property(ies) and Landlord may sell or otherwise transfer such
Leased Property(ies) to any other party at any time on terms and conditions
acceptable to Landlord; provided however, with respect to clause (y), Landlord
shall return the xxxxxxx money deposit to Tenant and with respect to clause
(z),
Tenant shall forfeit and Landlord shall be entitled to keep the nonrefundable
xxxxxxx money deposit. The Right of First Offer shall be personal to Tenant
and
may only be exercised by Tenant or any Permitted Transferee, and not any
assignee, or other transferee of the Tenant’s interest in the
Lease.
83
45. Special
Purpose Entity
Obligations. Tenant agrees to comply with the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in Exhibit I attached
hereto.
46. Memorandums

Landlord and Tenant shall, promptly upon the request of either,
enter into short form memorandums of this Lease, in form suitable for recording
under the laws of the State in which each Leased Property is located, in which
reference to this Lease, and all renewal options and options to purchase
contained herein, shall be made. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of
recording any such Memorandums of Lease or amendments thereto and for releasing
any such Memorandums of Lease that relate to a particular Leased Property(ies)
upon any expiration or termination of this Lease as it relates to any such
Leased Property(ies).

of
the Information and agrees with Landlord to keep such Information confidential
pursuant to a standard confidentiality agreement; and provided further that
such
Information may be disclosed to tenants or prospective tenants only if either

then
current Term, given to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s intention to renew

the extent Recipient reasonably determines that disclosure of the Information
is
required by any Legal Requirement applicable to Recipient or any applicable
rule, regulation, or requirement of any securities exchange on which the
Recipient’s securities are listed or admitted for trading (a “Disclosure Law”) pursuant to
the procedures set forth in Section 47.7 below;
or
(iv) in
connection with any proceeding in which Recipient is attempting to protect

and/or remedies; or
(v) to
any person in a confidential relationship with Recipient, including Recipient’s
auditors, advisors, consultants, lawyers, and others who agree with Recipient

provided, however, that Recipient shall not be liable to Disclosing Party for

the extent legally compelled to disclose any of the Information pursuant to
a
subpoena or other legal process having the force of law. Recipient will provide
Disclosing Party with prompt notice so that Disclosing Party or any of its
representatives may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In
the
event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, Recipient
will
furnish only that portion of the Information which Recipient has been advised
is
legally required and Recipient will exercise its reasonable efforts to attempt
to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the
Information so to be furnished. In any event, Recipient will cooperate with

to Recipient on a nonconfidential basis from a source (other than Disclosing
Party or any of its employees, agents, representatives or advisors) who to
the
knowledge of Recipient is not prohibited from disclosing such Information to
Recipient by any legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation.
47.5
Injunctive
Relief.
Recipient acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate
to
protect against breach of the provisions of this Section 47, and Recipient
hereby in advance agrees that Disclosing Party shall not be obligated to
establish actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages in seeking an
injunction. Such injunctive relief will not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy
for a breach by Recipient of the provisions of this Section, but will be in
addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to Disclosing
Party.

obligation to provide it with Information pursuant to the terms of this Lease

satisfactory resolution with respect to such proposed disclosure. In the event
Disclosing Party has not, prior to the Disclosure Date, either (i) consented
to
the proposed disclosure (or such modified disclosure as Recipient and Disclosing
Party may mutually agree) or (ii) itself made disclosure of the Information

50. LaSalle
Financing.
50.1
Reserve
Payments.
In connection with the LaSalle Financing, Landlord is or may
be
required to make payments to LaSalle from time to time in order to maintain
various reserves (“LaSalle
Reserves”) required
under the LaSalle Loan Documents (each a “LaSalle Reserve
Payment”). So long as
the LaSalle Financing encumbers the Premises, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord
(at least five (5) Business Days prior to being due and payable to LaSalle),
the
amount of required LaSalle Reserve Payments in lieu of amounts that Tenant
would
otherwise be required to deposit pursuant to either (A) the terms and conditions
of Section 3.3 hereof
with respect to deposits for taxes and insurance, and (B) the terms and
conditions of Section 11.3
hereof with respect
to deposits for replacements. At least five (5)
Business Days prior to being due and payable to LaSalle, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord any expenses charged by LaSalle to Landlord for compliance with or
calculation of reserves required under the LaSalle Loan Documents.
50.2
Reserve
Disbursements.
Each Tenant request for a disbursement from a LaSalle Reserve
or
its corresponding Escrow Account or Capital Expenditures Account, as applicable,
shall be made to Landlord and (i) must comply with the applicable terms and
conditions of this Lease for such disbursements, (ii) shall include any and
all
documentation required by LaSalle (as determined by Landlord) for withdrawals
from the applicable LaSalle Reserve for such a request, and (iii) must comply
with any other requirements and conditions for withdrawals from the applicable
LaSalle Reserve. Landlord shall submit each such Tenant request to LaSalle
after
Landlord receives documentation required by clause (ii) from Tenant. If an
Event
of Default has not occurred, upon Landlord’s receipt of a disbursement from a
LaSalle Reserve, Landlord shall, subject to any other applicable provisions
of
this Lease, forward such disbursement to the Tenant. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant or any other Person for any denial by LaSalle of any such
Tenant disbursement request or any failure by Landlord to fund amounts to Tenant
where withdrawals from corresponding LaSalle reserves are denied by LaSalle,
if
Landlord has used commercially reasonable efforts (which shall exclude Landlord
paying any out-of-pocket costs not reimbursed by Tenant) to cause LaSalle to
fund the amounts.
50.3
Termination
of LaSalle
Financing. If at any time the LaSalle Financing ceases to encumber
the Premises, Tenant shall immediately deposit with Landlord such amounts
sufficient to cause the amount of deposits pursuant to (A) the terms and
conditions of Section 3.3
hereof with respect
to deposits for taxes and insurance, and (B) the
terms and conditions of Section
11.3 hereof with respect to deposits for replacements, to be at the level
they would have been but for the operation of Sections 50.1 and 50.2.
