ARTICLE 3
RENT
3.1 Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, by check or wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds, as Tenant may elect, without offset,
abatement, demand or deduction, Minimum Rent and Additional Rent during the
Term, as herein provided.
3.1.1 Minimum Rent. Tenant shall pay Minimum Rent in equal monthly
installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month
during the Term; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the first
installment of Minimum Rent shall be paid on the Closing Date, shall cover the
period from the Commencement Date to the end of the calendar month in which the

the product of (x) $100,000 multiplied by (y) the number of calendar months
during the Initial Period. Minimum Rent for any partial month shall be pro-rated

3.1.2 Additional Rent. In addition to the Minimum Rent, Tenant
shall pay and discharge as and when due and payable all other amounts,
liabilities, obligations and Impositions which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay
under this Lease (collectively, "Additional Rent"), including, but not limited
to the following:
-13-
(A) Impositions. Subject to Article 8, Tenant shall pay, or
cause to be paid, all Impositions 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, and shall promptly, upon
request, furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or other
satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition
may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments
(whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same (and any
accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in
installments and, in such event, shall pay such installments during the
Term as the same become due, and before any fine, penalty, premium,
further interest or cost may be added thereto. Landlord, at its
expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable law,
prepare and file all tax returns in respect of Landlord's net income,
gross receipts, sales and use, single business, transaction privilege,
rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and
Tenant, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by
applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns
and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by
governmental authorities. If any refund shall be due from any taxing
authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall
be paid over to or retained by Tenant if no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of
the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the
request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary
to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event governmental
authorities classify any property covered by this Lease as personal
property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such
jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Each party shall, to the
extent it possesses the same, provide the other, upon request, with
cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any
property so classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally
required to file personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide
Tenant with copies of assessment notices in sufficient time for Tenant
to file a protest. All Impositions assessed against such personal
property shall be (irrespective of whether Landlord or Tenant shall
file the relevant return) paid by Tenant not later than thirty (30)
days prior to the last date on which the same may be made without
interest or penalty.
Landlord shall give prompt written notice to Tenant of all
Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time
has knowledge; provided, however, Landlord's failure to give any such
notice shall in no way diminish Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay
such Impositions.
Impositions imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during
which the Term terminates shall be prorated between Landlord and
Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such
termination.
(B) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities
used at the Leased Property during the Term.
-14-
(C) Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid
all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained
pursuant to Article 9.
(D) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
other amounts, liabilities and obligations which Tenant assumes or
agrees to pay under this Lease.
3.2 Late Payment of Rent. If any installment of Minimum Rent or
Additional Rent (but only as to those items of Additional Rent which are payable
directly to Landlord) shall not be paid when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on
demand, as Additional Rent, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law)
computed, during the first ten (10) days such payment is delinquent at the
greater of the Base Rate and eleven and one-half percent (11.5%) per annum and,
thereafter, at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment, from the date
such installment was due until the date paid. To the extent that Tenant pays any
Additional Rent directly to Landlord pursuant to any requirement of this Lease,
Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Rent to the
entity to which they would otherwise be due.
In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent when
due, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as Additional Rent, every fine,
penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of
such items. Landlord shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights,
powers and remedies provided either in this Lease or by statute or otherwise in
the case of non-payment of the Additional Rent as in the case of non-payment of
the Minimum Rent.
3.3 Net Lease. The Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord, so that
this Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the installments of
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other
provisions of this Lease which expressly provide for adjustment or abatement of
Rent or other charges.
3.4 No Termination, Abatement, Etc. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Lease, Tenant, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall
remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall neither take
any action without the consent of Landlord to modify, surrender or terminate the
same, nor seek, nor I be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or
reduction of the Rent, or set-off against the Rent, nor shall the respective
obligations of Landlord and Tenant be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any
damage to, or destruction of, the Leased Property or any portion thereof from
whatever cause or any Condemnation; (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of,
or restriction upon Tenant's use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof,
or the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by
paramount title; (c) any claim which Tenant may have against Landlord by reason
of any Landlord Default; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other
proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (e)
for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing.
Tenant hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which
may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law to modify, surrender or
terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion
thereof or which may entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or
deferment of the Rent or other sums payable or other
-15-
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Lease. 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 the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated
pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease.

by Landlord, or Tenant's Personal Property, to be used in such a manner as might
reasonably tend to impair Landlord's (or Tenant's, as the case may be) title

adverse possession by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of the
Leased Property or any portion thereof.

applicable programs or legislation, or capital improvements required by any
other governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Leased Property as a
condition of the continued operation of the Leased Property for the Primary

all orders or directives from any officials court or agency of competent
jurisdiction relating to the use or maintenance or requiring the removal,

If at any time prior to the termination of this Lease, Hazardous

all actions, and to incur any and all expenses, as may be reasonably necessary
and as may be required by any municipal, State or Federal agency or other
governmental entity or agency having jurisdiction thereof, (a) to clean up and
remove from and about the Leased Property all Hazardous Substances thereon, (b)
to contain, and prevent any further release or threat of release of Hazardous
Substances on or about the Leased Property and (c) to eliminate any further

Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and each Facility
Mortgagee from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages,
penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against any
of them by reason of any failure by Tenant or any Person claiming under Tenant
to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Section 4.4.
ARTICLE 5
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS, ETC.
5.1 Maintenance and Repair.
5.1.1 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, keep the Leased Property and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs
appurtenant thereto (and Tenant's Personal Property) in good order and repair,
reasonable wear and tear excepted (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
the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property, or any portion thereof), and
shall promptly make all necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements
thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior, structural or
nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by
reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed
or otherwise). All repairs shall be at least equivalent in quality to the
original work.
5.1.2 Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall not, under any
circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any improvement on the Leased
Property, or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or
renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary
or extraordinary, structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to
make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, in connection with this
Lease, or to maintain the Leased Property in any way, except as specifically
provided herein. Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the right
to make repairs at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law in effect at the
time of the execution of this Lease or hereafter enacted. Landlord shall have
the right to give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of nonresponsibility
under any mechanic's lien laws now or hereafter existing.
5.2 Capital Expenditure Cost Sharing. Replacement of or major repairs
to all structural or mechanical systems shall be undertaken by Tenant, at its
sole cost and expense in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment,
pursuant to and in accordance with plans and specifications approved in advance
by Landlord; provided, however, that if the useful life of any improvement or
repair for which a Capital Expenditure is made extends beyond the termination of
the Term (other than any early termination resulting from the occurrence of an
Event of Default), provided Tenant shall have obtained Landlord's prior written
consent with respect to the making thereof, the cost of such replacement or
repair shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant so that Landlord shall
pay for that portion of the useful life of such item occurring on or after such
termination date. Landlord shall have no obligation to reimburse Tenant for
Landlord's share of the cost of such replacement or repair until the date of the
termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to
make any such payment to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Tenant's written
request therefor.
-18-
5.3 Tenant's Personal Property. Tenant may (and shall as provided
hereinbelow), at its expense, install, affix or assemble or place on any parcels
of the Land or in any of the Leased Improvements, any items of Tenant's Personal
Property, and Tenant may, subject to the conditions set forth below, remove the
same upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term. Tenant shall provide
and maintain during the entire Term all such Tenant's Personal Property as shall
be necessary in order to operate the Facility in compliance with all licensure
and certification requirements, applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry
for the Primary Intended Use. All of Tenant's Personal Property not removed by
Tenant on or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall
be considered abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or
otherwise disposed of by Landlord without the necessity of first giving notice
thereof to Tenant, without any payment to Tenant and without any obligation to
account therefor. Tenant shall, at its expense, restore the Leased Property to
the condition required by Section 5.4, including repair of all damage to the
Leased Property caused by the removal of Tenant's Personal Property, whether
effected by Tenant or Landlord.
If Tenant uses any item of tangible personal property (other than motor
vehicles) on, or in connection with, the Leased Property which belongs to anyone
other than Tenant, Tenant shall use its best efforts to require the agreement
permitting such use to provide that Landlord or its designee may assume Tenant's
rights under such agreement upon management of the Facility by Landlord or its
designee.
5.4 Yield Up. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord in the
condition in which the Leased Property was on the Commencement Date, except as
repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the
provisions of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
In addition, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall, at Landlord's reasonable cost and expense, use its best efforts to
transfer to and cooperate with Landlord or Landlord's nominee in connection with
the processing of all applications for licenses, operating permits and other
governmental authorizations and all contracts, including, contracts with
governmental or quasi-governmental entities, which may be necessary for the
operation of the Facility. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall continue to
manage the Facility after the termination of this Lease and for so long
thereafter as is necessary to obtain all necessary licenses, operating permits
and other governmental authorizations, on such reasonable terms (which shall
include an agreement to reimburse Tenant for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses and reasonable administrative costs) as Landlord shall request.
5.5 Encroachments, Restrictions, Etc. If any of the Leased Improvements
shall, at Any time, encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjacent
to the Leased Property, or shall violate the agreements or conditions contained
in any lawful restrictive covenant or other agreement affecting the Leased
Property, or any part thereof, or shall impair the rights of others under any
easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Property is subject, upon the
request of Landlord or of any person affected by any such encroachment,
violation or impairment, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, subject to
its right to contest the existence of any encroachment, violation or impairment
and in such case, in the event of an adverse final determination, either (a)
obtain, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, valid and
-19-
effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages
resulting from each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same
shall affect Landlord or Tenant, or (b), subject to Landlord's approval (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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, and
to end such violation or impairment, 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 ensure the continued 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
violation, impairment or encroachment. Any such alteration shall be made in
conformity with the applicable requirements of this Article 5. Tenant's
obligations under this Section 5.5 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 be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered
by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance.
ARTICLE 6
CAPITAL ADDITIONS, ETC.
6.1 Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property. Provided
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall have the
right, subject to obtaining Landlord's prior written consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), upon and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth below, to construct or install Capital Additions on the
Leased Property. Landlord's consent shall not be deemed to be unreasonably
withheld if such Capital Addition will significantly alter the character or
purpose or detract from the value or operating efficiency or the
revenue-producing capability of the Leased Property, or adversely affect the
ability of Tenant to comply with this Lease. Any withholding of consent shall be
express and shall be effected within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord
of such documents or information as Landlord may reasonably require, notice of
which requirements shall be sent to Tenant within thirty (30) days after
Tenant's request. Failure to give notice of the withholding of such consent
within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed approval. Prior to commencing
construction of any Capital Addition, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, in
writing, a proposal setting forth, in reasonable detail any proposed Capital
Addition and shall provide Landlord with such plans and specifications, permits,
licenses, contracts and other information concerning the proposed Capital
Addition as Landlord may reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, such proposal shall indicate the approximate projected cost of
constructing such Capital Addition, the use or uses to which it will be put and
a good faith estimate of the change, if any, in the Net Patient Revenues that
Tenant anticipates will result from such Capital Addition. Prior to commencing
construction of any Capital Addition, Tenant shall request in writing that
Landlord provide funds to pay for such Capital Addition. If, within sixty (60)
days after receipt of such request, Landlord shall not elect to provide such
financing on terms reasonably acceptable to Tenant (and, for purposes of this
Section 6.1, the failure of Landlord to respond within such 60 day period shall
be deemed an election not to provide such funding), the provisions of Section
6.2 shall apply. Landlord's notice of its election to provide such financing
shall set forth the terms and conditions of such proposed financing, including
the terms of any amendment to this Lease (including, without limitation, an
increase in Minimum Rent to compensate Landlord for the additional funds
advanced). In no event shall the
-20-
portion of the projected Capital Additions Cost comprised of land, if any,
materials, labor charges and fixtures be less than eighty percent (80%) of the
total amount of such cost. Tenant may withdraw its request by written notice to
Landlord at any time before Tenant's written acceptance of Landlord's terms and
conditions. If Landlord declines to finance a Capital Addition or if Landlord's
proposed financing terms are unacceptable to Tenant, Tenant may solicit and
negotiate a commitment for such financing from another Person, provided Landlord
shall approve all the terms and conditions of such financing (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If Landlord shall finance the
proposed Capital Addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all
reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord and any Lending
Institution which has committed to provide financing for such Capital Addition
to Landlord in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, (a) the
reasonable attorneys, fees and expenses, (b) all printing expenses, (c) all
filing, registration and recording taxes and fees, (d) documentary stamp taxes,
(e) title insurance charges, appraisal fees, and rating agency fees, and (f)
commitment fees.
No Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any
Leased Improvement or any Leased Property with any other improvements on
property adjacent to such Leased Property (and not part of the Land) including,
without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities,
unless Tenant shall have obtained the prior written approval of Landlord, which
approval may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. Any Capital
Additions shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, become
the property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.2.
6.2 Capital Additions Financed by Tenant. Provided that Tenant has
obtained the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Tenant may arrange for financing
for Capital Additions from third party lenders; provided however, that (i) the
terms and conditions of any such financing shall be subject to the prior
approval of Landlord and (ii) any security interests in any property of Tenant,
including, without limitation, the Leased Property, shall be expressly and fully
subordinated to this Lease and to the interest of Landlord in the Leased
Property and to the rights of any Facility Mortgagee. If, pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease, Tenant provides or arranges financing with respect to
any Capital Addition, this Lease shall be and hereby is amended to provide as
follows:
(a) There shall be no adjustment in the Minimum Rent by reason
of any such Capital Addition.
(b) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
(but if this Lease is terminated by reason of an Event of Default, only
after Landlord is fully compensated for all damages resulting
therefrom), Landlord shall compensate Tenant for all Capital Additions
financed by Tenant in any of the following ways determined in
Landlord's sole discretion:
(i) By purchasing such Capital Additions from Tenant for cash in
the amount of the then Fair Market Added Value of such Capital
Additions;
-21-
(ii) By purchasing such Capital Additions from Tenant by delivering
to Tenant Landlord's purchase money promissory note in the
amount of the Fair Market Added Value, which note shall be due
and payable as to both principal and interest on the second
anniversary of the making thereof, shall be on then
commercially reasonable terms and shall be secured by a
mortgage on the Leased Property and such Capital Additions
subject to all existing mortgages and encumbrances on the
Leased Property and such Capital Additions at the time of such
purchase;
(iii) By assigning to Tenant the right to receive an amount equal to
the Added Value Percentage (determined as of the date of the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease) of all rent
and other consideration receivable by Landlord under any
re-letting or other disposition of the Leased Property and
such Capital Additions, after deducting from such rent all
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
such re-letting or other disposition of the Leased Property
and such Capital Additions and all costs and expenses of
operating and maintaining the Leased Property and such Capital
Additions during the term of any such new lease which are not
borne by the tenant thereunder, with the provisions of this
Section 6.2(c) to remain in effect until the sale or other
final disposition of the Leased Property and such Capital
Additions, at which time the Fair Market Added Value of such
Capital Addition shall be immediately due and payable, such
obligation to be secured by a mortgage on the Leased Property
and such Capital Additions, subject to all existing mortgages
and encumbrances on the Leased Property at the time of such
purchase and assignment; or
(iv) By making such other arrangement regarding such compensation
as shall be mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.
6.3 Information Regarding Capital Additions. Regardless of the source
of financing of any proposed Capital Addition, Tenant shall provide Landlord
with such information as Landlord may from time to time reasonably request with
respect to such Capital Addition, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) Evidence that such Capital Addition will be, and upon
completion has been, completed in compliance with the applicable
requirements of State and federal law with respect to capital
expenditures for nursing facilities;
(b) Upon completion of such Capital Addition, a copy of the
certificate of occupancy for the Facility updated, if required;
(c) Such information, certificates, licenses, permits or other
documents necessary to confirm that Tenant will be able to use the
Capital Addition upon completion thereof in accordance with the Primary
intended Use, including all required federal, State or local government
licenses and approvals;
-22-
(d) An Officer's Certificate and a certificate from Tenant's
architect setting forth, in reasonable detail, the projected (or
actual, if available) Capital Additions Cost and invoices and lien
waivers from Tenant's contractors for such work;
(e) A deed conveying to Landlord title to any land acquired
for the purpose of constructing the Capital Addition free and clear of
any liens or encumbrances, except those approved by Landlord and, upon
completion of the Capital Addition, a final as-built survey thereof
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(f) Endorsements to any outstanding policy of title insurance
covering the Leased Property or commitments therefor, satisfactory in
form and substance to Landlord, (i) updating the same without any
additional exceptions except as approved by Landlord, and (ii)
increasing the coverage thereof by an amount equal to the Fair Market
Value of the Capital Addition (except to the extent covered by the
owner's policy of title insurance referred to in subparagraph (g)
below);
(g) If appropriate, (i) an owner's policy of title insurance
insuring fee simple title to any land conveyed to Landlord pursuant to
subparagraph (e) above, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances,
except those approved by Landlord, and (ii) a lender's policy of title
insurance, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord
and the Lending Institution advancing any portion of the Capital
Additions Cost;
(h) An appraisal of the Leased Property by a Qualified
Appraiser, acceptable to Landlord, and an Officer's Certificate stating

commencement of such Capital Addition by an amount not less than 80% of
the Capital Additions Cost; and
(i) Prints of architectural and engineering drawings relating
to such Capital Addition and such other certificates, documents,
opinions of counsel, appraisals, surveys, certified copies of duly
adopted resolutions of the board of directors of Tenant authorizing the
execution and delivery of any lease amendment or other instruments
reasonably required by Landlord and any Lending Institution advancing
or reimbursing Tenant for any portion of the Capital Additions Cost.
6.4 Non-Capital Additions. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, to make additions, modifications or improvements to the
Leased Property which are not Capital Additions ("Non-capital Additions") from
time to time as Tenant, in its reasonable discretion, may deem desirable for the
Primary Intended Use, provided that such action will not adversely alter the
character or purpose or detract from the value, operating efficiency or
revenue-producing capability of the Leased Property, or adversely affect the
ability of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this Lease. All such
Non-Capital Additions shall,- upon expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, become the property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances other
than Permitted Encumbrances.
-23-
6.5 Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection
with the making of either Capital Additions or repairs required by Article 5
shall be the property of the party paying or providing the financing for such
work.
ARTICLE 7
LIENS
7.1 Liens. Subject to Article 8, Tenant shall not, directly or
indirectly, create or allow to remain and shall promptly discharge, at its
expense, any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim

respect of the Rent, other than (a) this Lease, (b) the Permitted Encumbrances,
(c) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing
by Landlord, (d) liens for those taxes of Landlord which Tenant is not required
to pay hereunder, (e) subleases permitted by Article 17, (f) liens for

liens of mechanics, laborers, material men, suppliers or vendors for sums
disputed, provided that (i) the payment of such sums shall not be postponed

provision as shall be required by law or generally accepted accounting
principles shall have been made therefor, and (ii) any such liens are being
contested in accordance with Article 8, and (h) any liens which are the

suffer by reason of Tenant's breach of this Lease, Tenant hereby grants unto
Landlord a security interest in and an express contractual lien upon Tenant's
Personal Property (except motor vehicles sold from time to time in the ordinary
course of Tenant's operations), and all ledger sheets, files, records, documents
and instruments (including, without limitation, computer programs, tapes and
related electronic data processing) relating to the operation of the Facility

Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord
security agreements and financing statements in form sufficient to perfect the
security interests of Landlord in Tenant's Personal Property and the proceeds
thereof in accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws of the State
and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant
hereby grants Landlord an irrevocable limited power of attorney, coupled with an
interest, to execute all such financing statements in Tenant's name, place and

shall be construed as (a) constituting the consent or request of Landlord,
expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, material man 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 the Leased Property or any part thereof, or (b)
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

Landlord in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any
way be the basis for any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other
encumbrance upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof.
ARTICLE 8

Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity of any
Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance, charge or claim (collectively "Claims") by appropriate legal

the foregoing shall in no way be construed as relieving, modifying or extending
Tenant's obligation to pay any Claims as finally determined or prior to the time
the Leased Property may be sold in satisfaction thereof, (b) such contest shall
not cause Landlord or Tenant to be in default under any mortgage or deed of
trust encumbering the Leased Property or any interest therein or result in or

claim, damage, penalty or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith or as a result thereof. Upon
Landlord's request, Tenant shall either (a) provide a bond or other assurance
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all Claims which may be assessed

a bank or trust company, as trustee, as security for the payment of such Claims,
an amount sufficient to pay the same, together with interest and penalties in
connection therewith and all Claims which may be assessed against or become a
Claim against the Leased Property, or any part thereof, in connection with any
such contest. Tenant shall furnish Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee with
reasonable evidence of such deposit within five (5) days after request therefor.
Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required legally to prosecute
such contest; provided, however, that Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to
any liability therefor (including, for the payment of any costs or expenses in
connection therewith). Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and
such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Tenant or
paid by Landlord and for which Landlord has been fully reimbursed by Tenant. If

therefor, upon demand, as Additional Rent.
ARTICLE 9

Property, including Tenant's Personal Property, insured against the risks in the
amounts as follows:
(a) Commercial general liability insurance, including bodily
injury and property damage (in the broadest form available, including
broad form contractual liability, fire legal liability, products and
completed operations coverage) and healthcare facility professional
liability insurance, under which Tenant is named as an insured and
Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee are named as additional insureds as
their interests may appear, in an amount which shall be at least equal
to $1,000,000 per occurrence with respect to bodily injury liability,
property damage liability or professional liability, and umbrella
coverage of all such claims in an amount not less than $10,000,000;
(b) "All-risk" property insurance on a "replacement cost"
basis (including boiler and machinery) with the usual extended coverage
endorsements (including increased costs of construction, demolition and
ordinance or law) covering the Leased Property and Tenant's Personal
Property;
(c) Business interruption and loss of (i) rent or rental
income under a rental value insurance policy covering risk of loss
during the lesser of the first twelve (12) months of reconstruction or
(ii) the actual reconstruction period necessitated by the occurrence of
any of the hazards described in paragraph (b) above, in such amounts as
may be customary for comparable properties in the area and in an amount
sufficient to prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer;
(d) Flood (if the Leased Property which is located in whole or
in part within a designated flood plain area) and such other hazards
and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in
the area, provided the same is available at rates which are
economically practical in relation to the risks covered, as determined
by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed;
(e) Worker's compensation insurance coverage for all persons
employed by Tenant on the Leased Property with statutory limits and
otherwise with limits of and provisions in accordance with the

liability insurance in such amounts as necessary to satisfy the
aforementioned underlying insurance requirements; and
-26-
(f) Such additional insurance as may be reasonably required,
from time to time, by Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee.
9.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree that (insofar as
and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating or
making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance
companies doing business in the State) with respect to any property loss which
is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant or would be
covered by insurance if insurance were maintained in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Lease, respectively, the party carrying such
insurance and suffering said loss releases the other of and from any and all
claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree that their respective
insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation against the other on
account thereof, even though extra premium may result therefrom. In the event
that any extra premium is payable by Tenant as a result of this provision,
Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for such extra premium.
9.3 Form Satisfactory, Etc. All policies of insurance required under
this Article 9 shall be written in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
and written by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State, which
insurance companies shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. All policies
of insurance required under this Article 9 shall include no deductible in excess
of $250,000 and (with the exception of the insurance described in paragraph (e)
of Section 9.1) shall name Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee as additional
insureds, as their interests may appear. Losses shall be payable to Landlord or
Tenant as provided in Article 10. Any loss adjustment shall require the written
consent of Landlord, Tenant and each Facility Mortgagee. Evidence of insurance
shall be deposited with Landlord and, if requested, any Facility Mortgagee.
Tenant shall pay all insurance premiums, and deliver policies or certificates
thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and, with respect to any
renewal policy, five (5) days prior to the expiration of the existing policy),
and in the event Tenant shall fail either to effect such insurance as herein
required, to pay the premiums therefor or, to deliver such policies or
certificates to Landlord at the times required. Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor,
which amounts shall be payable to Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent,
together with interest accrued thereon at the Base Rate from the date such
payment is made until the date repaid. All such policies shall provide Landlord
(and any Facility Mortgagee, if required by the same) thirty (30) days prior
written notice of any cancellation or non-renewal of such policy (except in the
event of any cancellation or non-renewal for non-payment of premium, in which
case such policy shall provide for ten (10) days prior written notice thereof).
9.4 No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate
insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required by Sections 9.1(b), (c) and (d) or increase the amount of any existing
insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all
parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of such insurance,
including, Landlord and all Facility Mortgagees, are included therein as
additional insureds, and the loss is payable under such insurance in the same
manner as losses are payable under this Lease. In the event Tenant shall take
out any such separate insurance or increase any of the amounts of the then
existing insurance, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice thereof.
-27-
9.5 Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law,
imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of: (a) any
accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property
occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks, including,
without limitation, any claims of malpractice, (b) any past, present or future
use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or
anyone claiming under Tenant of the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal
Property or any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or
other third parties to which Landlord is made a party or participant related to
the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property or such use, misuse, non-use,
condition, management, maintenance, or repair thereof including, failure to
perform obligations (other than Condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord is
made a party, (c) any Impositions (which are the obligations of Tenant to pay
pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease), and (d) any failure on the
part of Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant to perform or comply with any of
the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall pay all amounts payable under this Section
9.5 within ten (10) days after demand therefor, and if not timely paid, such
amounts shall bear interest at the overdue rate from the date of determination
to the date of payment. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend
any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord or
may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same as Tenant sees fit.
9.6 Indemnification of Tenant. Landlord shall indemnify and hold
harmless Tenant from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages,
penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted against Tenant as a result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord.
ARTICLE 10
CASUALTY
10.1 Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds payable by reason of any loss or
damage to the Leased Property and insured under any policy of insurance required
by Article 9 shall be paid to Landlord and held in trust by Landlord in an
interest-bearing account (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2) and shall
be paid out by Landlord from time to time for the reasonable costs of
reconstruction or repair of the Leased Property necessitated by damage or
destruction. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of
the restoration shall be paid to Tenant. In the event neither Landlord nor
Tenant is required or elects to restore the Leased Property and this Lease is
terminated without purchase or substitution by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.2,
all insurance proceeds therefrom shall be retained by Landlord. All salvage
resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Landlord, except
any salvage related to Capital Additions paid for by Tenant or Tenant's Personal
Property shall belong to Tenant.
10.2 Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction.
10.2.1 Material Damage or Destruction of Premises. Except as
provided in Section 10.8, if, during the Term, the Leased Property shall be
totally or partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and the
Facility is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary
-28-
Intended Use, Tenant shall, at Tenant's option, exercisable by written notice to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or destruction,
elect either (a) to restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as
existed immediately before such damage or destruction, or (b) to offer (i) to
purchase the Leased Property from Landlord for a purchase price equal to the
greater of the Minimum Repurchase Price or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price
of the Leased Property immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or (ii)
to substitute a new property for the Leased Property in accordance with the
provisions of Article 16. Failure of Tenant to give Landlord written notice of
any such election within such 30-day period shall be deemed an election by
Tenant to restore the Facility. In the event Tenant shall proceed in accordance
with clause (b) preceding and Landlord does not accept Tenant's offer to
purchase the Leased Property or substitute another property for the Leased
Property within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice thereof,
Tenant may either (a) withdraw such offer and proceed promptly to restore the
Facility to substantially the same conditions as existed immediately before the
damage or destruction, or (b) terminate this Lease without further liability
hereunder and Landlord shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds. In
the event Tenant shall acquire the Leased Property or substitute a new property
therefor, the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage shall be Paid
to Tenant.
10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. Except as provided in
Section 10.8, if, during the Term, all or any portion of the Leased Property
shall be totally or partially destroyed by fire or other casualty and the
Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Tenant
shall promptly restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as
existed immediately before such damage or destruction; provided, however, that
if Tenant cannot, using diligent efforts, obtain all government approvals,
including building permits, licenses, conditional use permits and certificates
of need, necessary to perform all required repair and restoration and to operate
the Facility for its Primary Intended Use in substantially the same manner as
existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction within one hundred
eighty (180) days after the date of such fire or casualty, Tenant shall, within
thirty (30) days thereafter elect, by written notice to Landlord, either (a) to
substitute a new property or properties for the Leased Property in accordance
with the provisions of Article 16, or (b) purchase the Leased Property for a
purchase price equal to the greater of the then Minimum Repurchase Price or the
Fair Market Value Purchase Price of the Leased Property immediately prior to
such damage or destruction. Failure of Tenant to give such notice within such
period shall be deemed an election by Tenant to purchase the Leased Property.
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice, Landlord shall give
Tenant written notice as to whether Landlord accepts such offer. Failure of
Landlord to give such notice shall be deemed an election by Landlord to accept
Tenant's offer. If Landlord shall reject such offer, Tenant shall elect, by
written notice to Landlord, given within thirty (30) days thereafter, either (a)
to withdraw such offer, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect with and Tenant shall proceed to restore the Facility as soon as
reasonably practicable to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately before such damage or destruction, or (b) terminate this Lease.
Failure of Tenant to give such notice within such period shall be deemed an
election by Tenant to restore the Leased Property.
In the event Landlord shall accept Tenant's offer to purchase the
Leased Property, this Lease shall terminate with respect thereto upon payment of
the purchase price. In the event Landlord shall accept Tenant's offer to
substitute a new property or properties, this Lease shall
-29-
be deemed modified to substitute such new property for the Leased Property
(effective as of the date of such substitution pursuant to Article 16) and all
insurance proceeds pertaining to the Leased Property shall be paid to Tenant.
Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute appropriate instruments to confirm
the foregoing, although the failure to do so shall not affect this Lease.
10.3 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If the cost of the repair or
restoration exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord
pursuant to Article 9, Tenant shall contribute any excess amounts needed to
complete such restoration. Such difference shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
and held by Landlord in trust in an interest bearing account, together with any
other insurance proceeds, for application to the cost of repair and restoration
in accordance with Section 10.4.
10.4 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant is required to
restore the Leased Property pursuant to Sections 10.1 or 10.2, Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, commence promptly and continue diligently to perform,
or cause to be performed, the repair and restoration of the Leased Property so
as to restore the Leased Property in full compliance with all Legal Requirements
and otherwise in compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Lease,
so that the Leased Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility
to its general utility and value immediately prior to such damage or
destruction. Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall advance the insurance
proceeds (other than proceeds of business interruption insurance which shall be
advanced as provided below) and the amounts paid to it pursuant to Section 10.3
to Tenant regularly during the repair and restoration period so as to permit
payment for the cost of such restoration and repair. Any such advances shall be
for not less than $50,000 (or such lesser amount as equals the entire balance of
the repair and restoration costs) and Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written
requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such
other form or forms as may be acceptable to Landlord). Landlord may, at its
option, condition advancement of such insurance proceeds and other amounts on
(i) the absence of any Default (as to which Landlord has given notice to Tenant)
or Event of Default, (ii) its approval of plans and specifications of an
architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), (iii) general contractors, estimates, (iv) architect's
certificates, (v) unconditional lien waivers of general contractors, (vi)
evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies
whose approval is required and (vii) such other certificates as Landlord may,
from time to time, reasonably require. Provided no Default (as to which Landlord
has given notice to Tenant) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
on the first day of each calendar month during which proceeds of business
interruption insurance are disbursed to Landlord under the policy of business
interruption insurance maintained pursuant to Article 9, Landlord shall disburse
proceeds of business interruption insurance received by it to Tenant upon notice
from Tenant accompanied by a certification from Tenant that such moneys will be
used for costs or expenses of owning or operating the Leased Property.
Landlord's obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this Article
10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds by any Facility Mortgagee.
10.5 Tenant's Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any
loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property or Capital Additions
financed by Tenant shall be
-30-
paid to Tenant and Tenant shall hold such proceeds in trust to pay the cost of
repairing or replacing damaged Tenant's Personal Property or Capital Additions
paid for or financed by Tenant.
10.6 Restoration of Tenant's Property. If Tenant shall be required or
elect to restore the Facility as hereinabove provided Tenant shall either (a)
restore all alterations and improvements made by Tenant, Tenant's Personal
Property and all Capital Additions paid for or financed by Tenant, or (b)
replace such alterations and improvements, Tenant's Personal Property, and/or
Capital Additions with improvements or items of the same or better quality and
utility in the operation of the Facility.
10.7 No Abatement of Rent. Unless this Lease shall be terminated as
herein provided, during the first twelve (12) months of any period required for
repair or restoration, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and
Tenant's obligation to make rental payments and to pay all other charges
required by this Lease shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any
damage affecting the Leased Property. Thereafter, payments of Minimum Rent shall
be adjusted in the manner provided in Section 11.6.
10.8 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of this
Article 10 to the contrary, if (a) damage to or destruction of the Facility
occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, (b) Tenant has not
elected to extend the Term, (c) no Default (as to which Landlord has given
notice to Tenant) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and
(d) such damage or destruction cannot be fully repaired and restored within one
hundred eighty (180) days immediately following the date of loss, Tenant shall
have the right to terminate this Lease by the giving of written notice thereof
to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of casualty. Failure of
Tenant to give such notice within such 30 day period shall be a waiver of
Tenant's right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this section.
ARTICLE 11
CONDEMNATION
11.1 Total Condemnation. If the whole of the Leased Property shall be
taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall terminate as of the Date of Taking. In
the event a Condemnation of less than the whole of the Leased Property renders
the Leased Property Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Tenant and Landlord
shall each have the option, by written notice to the other, given at any time
prior to the date title vests in a third party, to terminate this Lease as of
the Date of Taking, whereupon this Lease shall terminate as of such date.
11.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less than
the whole of the Leased Property such that Leased Property is still suitable for
its Primary Intended Use, or if neither Tenant nor Landlord shall terminate this
Lease as provided in Section 11.1, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall,
with all reasonable dispatch, restore the untaken portion of the Leased
Improvements so that such Leased Improvements shall constitute a complete
architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may
be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased Improvements existing
immediately prior to such Condemnation. Landlord shall, subject to and in
accordance with the applicable provisions of
-31-
Section 10.4, contribute to the cost of restoration that part of its Award
allocable to such restoration. In such event, the Minimum Rent shall be
permanently reduced as set forth in Section 11.6.
11.3 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation
of all or any part of the Leased Property or Tenant's interest under this Lease,
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to
pay, in the manner and on the terms herein specified, the full amount of the
Rent. To the extent reasonably practicable, Tenant shall continue to perform and
observe all of the other terms and conditions thereof, on the part of Tenant to
be performed and observed. The entire amount of any Award made for such
temporary Taking or Condemnation allocable to the Term, whether paid by way of
damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall, upon the
termination of any such period of temporary Condemnation, at its sole cost and
expense (but only to the extent of the Award payable to Tenant), restore the
Leased Property as nearly as may be reasonably possible, to the condition that
existed immediately prior to such Condemnation, unless such period of temporary
use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, in which case
Tenant shall not be required to make such restoration.
11.4 Tenant's Option. In the event of the termination of this Lease as
provided in Section 11.1, Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by written
notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of
notice of Condemnation, to elect (a) to acquire the Leased Property from
Landlord for a purchase price equal to the greater of its Minimum Repurchase
Price or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price of the Leased Property immediately
prior to such Condemnation, in which event, upon the closing of such
acquisition, Tenant shall have the right to receive the entire Award, or (b) to
substitute a new property therefor in accordance with the provisions of Article
16, in which event Tenant shall receive the entire Award. Failure of Tenant to
give such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant's
rights pursuant to this Section 11.4. In the event Landlord shall, by written
notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's
election notice, reject Tenant's offer so to purchase or substitute, Tenant
shall restore the Leased Property to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately before such Condemnation in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Lease and, in such event, Landlord shall, subject to and in
accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 10.4, contribute to the
cost of restoration that part of its Award allocable to such restoration.
11.5 Allocation of Award. Except as provided in the second sentence of
this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be solely the property of and payable
to Landlord. Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant's leasehold
interest in the Leased Property, Capital Additions paid for or financed by
Tenant, loss of business at the Leased Property during the remainder of the
Term, the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, or Tenant's removal and
relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to Tenant. In any
Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award in
conformity herewith, at its own expense.
11.6 Abatement Procedures. In the event of a partial Condemnation as
described in Section 11.2, this Lease shall not terminate, but the Minimum Rent
shall be abated in the manner and to the extent that is fair, just and equitable
to both Tenant and Landlord, taking into
-32-
consideration, among other relevant factors, the number of usable beds, the
amount of square footage, or the revenues affected by such partial or temporary
taking or damage or destruction. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon
the amount of such abatement within thirty (30) days after such Condemnation or
damage, the matter may be submitted by either party to a court of competent
jurisdiction for resolution or, if the parties so agree, the matter may be
submitted by the parties for resolution by arbitration in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association.
ARTICLE 12
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Lease:
(a) If Tenant shall fail to make any payment of Rent or any
other sum payable hereunder when due and such failure shall continue
for ten (10) days after written notice thereof;

continue for ten (10) days after written notice thereof;

perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and such
failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof; provided, however, if any such failure, not involving the
payment of money, cannot with due diligence be cured within such thirty
(30) day period, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have
occurred for such additional period (not to exceed 120 days in the
aggregate) required to cure the same so long as Tenant or Guarantor
commences sure cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion;
(d) If, following confirmation of a plan of reorganization for
Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable,
(A) Tenant or Guarantor shall (i) admit in writing
its inability, or be unable, to pay its debts generally as
they become due; (ii) file a petition in bankruptcy or a

or
(B) Tenant or Guarantor shall be adjudicated a
bankrupt or shall have an order for relief thereunder entered
against it or a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an
order or decree appointing a receiver for it or of the
-33-
whole or substantially all of its property, or approving a
petition filed against it seeking reorganization or
arrangement of Tenant or Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code
or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of
America or any state thereof, and such judgment, order or
decree shall not be vacated or set aside within sixty (60)
days from the date of entry thereof;
(e) If Tenant or Guarantor shall be liquidated or
dissolved, or shall begin proceedings toward such liquidation
or dissolution, or, in any manner, permit the sale or
divestiture of substantially all of its assets;
(f) If the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased
Property or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached
in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or
discharged within thirty (30) days after commencement thereof
(unless Tenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in
accordance with Article 8);
(g) If, except as a result of damage, destruction,
strikes, lock-outs or a partial or complete Condemnation,
Tenant shall voluntarily cease operations on the Leased
Property for a period in excess of thirty (30) days; or
(h) If any representation or warranty of Tenant or
Guarantor and contained in this Lease or the Guaranty shall
prove to be untrue in any material respect on the date when
made which materially and adversely affects Landlord, and the
same shall not be cured within ninety (90) days after written
notice thereof;
(i) If the Cases of the Tenant or Guarantor shall be
dismissed or converted to a Case under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code; or a trustee under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code, a responsible officer or an examiner with
enlarged powers relating to the operation of the business
(powers beyond those set forth in ss.1106(a)(3) and (4) of the
Bankruptcy Code) under ss.1106(b) of the Bankruptcy Code shall
be appointed in any of the Cases of the Tenant or Guarantor
and the order appointing such trustee, responsible officer or
examiner shall not be reversed or vacated within 60 days after
the entry thereof; or
(j) If an order of the Bankruptcy Court shall be
entered reversing, amending, supplementing, staying for a
period in excess of 10 days, vacating or otherwise modifying
the Orders in a manner that is materially adverse to Landlord.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and without further order
of or application to the Bankruptcy Court, Landlord and the agents and servants
of Landlord lawfully may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies
for any preceding breach of covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter,
without demand or notice and with or without process of law (forcibly, if
necessary), enter into and upon the Leased Property or any part thereof in the
name of the whole or mail a notice of termination addressed to Tenant, and
repossess the same and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant
and remove its and their effects (forcibly, if necessary), without being deemed
guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which
might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or prior breach of covenant, and,
upon such entry or mailing as aforesaid, this Lease shall terminate, Tenant
hereby
-34-
waiving all statutory rights to the Leased Property (including, without
limitation, rights of redemption, if any, to the extent such rights may be
lawfully waived) and Landlord, without notice to Tenant, may store Tenant's
effects, and those of any person claiming through or under Tenant, at Tenant's
sole expense and risk, and, if Landlord so elects, may sell such effects at
public auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the payment of all
sums due to Landlord from Tenant, if any, and pay over the balance, if any, to
Tenant. In addition, subject solely to the terms of the Orders, the automatic
stay provided in ss.362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed automatically
vacated without further action or order of the Bankruptcy Court and the Landlord
shall be entitled to exercise all of its respective rights and remedies under
this Lease Agreement and the Guaranty, including, without limitation, all rights
and remedies with respect to the Tenant's Personal Property and Guarantor.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition
to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Property and take
possession of any and all of Tenant's Personal Property and the Records (subject
to any prohibitions or limitations to disclosure of any such data as described
in Section 3.1.2(d)) on the Leased Property, without liability for trespass or
conversion (Tenant hereby waiving any right to notice or hearing prior to such
taking of possession by Landlord) and sell the same at public or private sale,
after giving Tenant reasonable notice of the time and place of any public or
private sale, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase all or any
portion of such Personal Property unless otherwise prohibited by law. Unless
otherwise provided by law, and without intending to exclude any other manner of
giving Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable notice shall be
met if such notice is given in the manner prescribed in this Lease at least ten
(10) days before the day of sale. The proceeds from any such disposition, less
all expenses incurred in connection with the taking of possession, holding and
selling of such property (including, reasonable attorneys, fees) shall be
deducted from the proceeds of such sale. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or
as otherwise required by law and Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as
Additional Rent, upon demand.
The automatic stay provided in ss.362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be
modified so as to permit Landlord to deliver notices of default to Tenant and/or
Guarantor pursuant to the appropriate paragraphs of Section 12.1 and to take all
other actions provided for above without further action or order of the
Bankruptcy Court.
12.2 Remedies. In the event of any termination pursuant to Section
12.1, Tenant shall pay the Rent and other charges payable hereunder up to the
time of such termination and, thereafter, Tenant, until the end of what would
have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, and whether
or not the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, shall have been re-let,
shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current damages,
the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of
the Term had such termination not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of
any reletting of the Leased Property, after deducting all expenses in connection
with such re-letting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs,
brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, advertising, expenses of
employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting.
Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which
the Minimum Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had not been
terminated.
-35-
At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have
collected any such current damages, as liquidated final damages and in lieu of
all such current damages beyond the date of such demand, at Landlord's election,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord either (a) an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder from the date of
such demand (assuming that, for the purposes of this paragraph, annual payments
by Tenant on account of Impositions would be the same as payments required for
the immediately preceding twelve calendar months, or if less than twelve
calendar months have expired since the Commencement Date, the payments required
for such lesser period projected to an annual amount shall be determined in the
manner set forth above) for what would be the then unexpired term of this Lease
if the same remained in effect, over the Fair Market Rental for the same period,
or (b) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Rent and other charges that
would have been payable for the balance of the Term had it not been terminated,
or (ii) the aggregate of the Minimum Rent and other charges accrued in the
twelve (12) months ended next prior to such termination (without reduction for
any free rent or other concession or abatement). In the event this Lease is so
terminated prior the expiration of the first, full year of the Term, the
liquidated damages which Landlord may elect to recover pursuant to clause
(b)(ii) of this paragraph shall be calculated as if such termination had
occurred on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. Nothing contained in
this Lease shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and
obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the
maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and
governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not
the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or
damages referred to above.
In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession
by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (a) relet the Leased Property
or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a
term or terms which may at Landlord's option, be equal to, less than or exceed
the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and
may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers
advisable and necessary to relet the same, and (b) may make such reasonable
alterations, repairs and decorations in the Leased Property as Landlord, in its
sole judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting
the Leased Property; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations
shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as
aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for
failure to relet the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or, in the event
that the 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 being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of
Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Property, by reason of the violation
by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
12.3 Waiver. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1 or
12.2, Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by law, (a) any right to a trial by
jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in
this Article 12, and (b) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force
exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE EFFECT OR GENERALITY OF OTHER WAIVERS PROVIDED FOR
IN THIS LEASE, TENANT EXPRESSLY WAIVES
-36-
THOSE BENEFITS CONFERRED ON TENANTS BY ACT NO. 20, APPROVED APRIL 6, 1951,
ENTITLED "THE LANDLORD AND TENANT ACT OF 1951", AS AMENDED, WHICH GOVERN
REQUIREMENTS OF NOTICE TO VACATE THE LEASED PREMISES IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFAULT
OR AT THE END OF THE TERM AND REQUIREMENTS REGARDING SECURITY DEPOSITS, THE
RETURN THEREOF AND THE ACCOUNTING AND DELIVERY OF INTEREST THEREON.
12.4 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Landlord under any
of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event
of Default (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the
existence of an Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant's obligations in
such order as Landlord may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the
State.
12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after written notice to Tenant
(provided that no such notice shall be required if Landlord shall reasonably
determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without
waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant, and without waiving or releasing
any Event of Default, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time
thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the
expense of Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof, for such purpose and take all such
action thereon as, in Landlord's opinion, may be necessary or appropriate
therefor, including, the management of the Facility by Landlord or its designee,
and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints, in the event of such election by
Landlord, Landlord or its designee as manager of the Facility and its attorney
in fact for such purpose, irrevocably and coupled with an interest, in the name,
place and stead of Tenant. All costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys, fees) incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at
the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are paid by Landlord until repaid,
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.
12.6 Trade Names. If this Lease is terminated for any reason, Landlord
shall, upon the request of Tenant, cause the name of the business conducted upon
the Leased Property to be changed to a name other than a Facility Trade Name or
any approximation or abbreviation thereof and sufficiently dissimilar to such
name as to be unlikely to cause confusion with such name; provided, however,
that Tenant shall not thereafter use a Facility Trade Name in the same market in
which the Facility is located in connection with any business that competes with
the Facility.
ARTICLE 13
HOLDING OVER
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the Term shall be
treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal to two (2) times the
Minimum Rent then in effect plus Additional Rent and other charges herein
provided (prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all
damages, direct and/or consequential (foreseeable and unforeseeable),
-37-
sustained by reason of any such holding over. otherwise, such holding over shall
be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, to the extent
applicable.
ARTICLE 14
LANDLORD'S DEFAULT
If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of
its covenants or obligations set forth in this Lease and such default shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, or such
additional period as may be reasonably required to correct the same (except if
such default shall constitute an immediate threat to life or property, five (5)
Business Days) Tenant may declare the occurrence of a "Landlord Default" by a
second notice to Landlord. Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and,
subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by
Tenant in curing the same, together with interest from the date Landlord
receives Tenant's invoice, at a rate equal to the Base Rate. Tenant shall have
no right to terminate this Lease for any default by Landlord hereunder and no
right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any rent or other
charges due hereunder.
If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord
Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall
give written notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
basis therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and
Landlord shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse
determination thereof. If Tenant and Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to
resolve the dispute within five (5) days after Landlord's notice of dispute,
either may submit the matter to arbitration for resolution in accordance with
the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such
arbitration shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant and judgment
thereon may be entered into any court of competent jurisdiction. Within five (5)
days after submission to arbitration, Landlord and Tenant shall submit all
information required for such arbitration and shall take all other actions
required for such arbitration to proceed and the arbitrators shall be instructed
to render a determination as soon as possible and in any event not later than
thirty (30) days after submission.
ARTICLE 15
PURCHASE OF PREMISES
In the event Tenant shall purchase the Leased Property from Landlord
pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall, upon receipt from
Tenant of the applicable purchase price, together with full payment of any
unpaid Rent and other charges due and payable with respect to any period ending
on or before the date of the purchase, deliver to Tenant a title insurance
policy, together with an appropriate deed or other instruments, conveying the
entire interest of Landlord in and to the Leased Property to Tenant, free and
clear of all encumbrances other than (a) those Tenant has agreed hereunder to
pay or discharge, (b) those liens, if any, which Tenant has agreed in writing to
accept and take title subject to, (c) the Permitted Encumbrances, and (d) any
other encumbrances permitted to be imposed on the Leased Property (x) pursuant
to the terms of this Lease or (y) otherwise permitted to be imposed under the
-38-
provisions of Section 21.1 which are assumable at no cost to Tenant or to which
Tenant may take subject without cost to Tenant. The difference between the
applicable purchase price and the total of the encumbrances assumed or taken
subject to shall be paid in cash to Landlord or as Landlord may direct, in
federal or other immediately available funds. The closing of any such sale shall
be contingent upon and subject to Tenant's obtaining all required governmental
consents and approvals for such transfer and if such sale shall fail to be
consummated by reason of the inability of Tenant to obtain all such approvals
and consents, any options to extend the Term of this Lease which otherwise would
have expired during the escrow period of such proposed sale shall be deemed to
remain in effect for 30 days after termination thereof. All expenses of such
conveyance, including, without limitation, the cost of title examination or
standard coverage title insurance, usually paid by a purchaser of real property
in the State shall be paid by Tenant; all expenses of such conveyance usually
paid by a seller of real property in the State shall be paid by Landlord.
ARTICLE 16
SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY FOR THE LEASED PROPERTY
16.1 Tenant's Substitution Option. Provided (a) in the good faith
judgment of Tenant, the Leased Property shall become Unsuitable for its Primary
Intended Use, (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and (c) not less than one (1) year shall remain in the Term, Tenant
shall have the right, subject to the conditions set forth in this Article 16,
upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, to
substitute one or more properties (collectively, the "Substitute Properties" or
individually, "Substitute Property") on the date specified in such notice (the
"Substitution Date"); provided, however, that if Tenant is required by court
order or administrative action to divest or otherwise dispose of the Leased
Property in less than thirty (30) days and Tenant shall have given Landlord
prior written notice of the filing of such court or administrative action and
kept Landlord reasonably apprised of the status thereof, the time period shall
be shortened appropriately to meet the reasonable needs of Tenant, but in no
event less than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by Landlord of such
notice. Such notice shall include (a) an Officer's Certificate, setting forth in
reasonable detail the reason(s) for the substitution and the proposed
Substitution Date, and (b) designate not less than two properties (or groups of
properties), each of which properties (or groups of properties) shall provide
Landlord with a yield (i.e., annual return on its equity in such property)
substantially equivalent to Landlord's yield from the Leased Property at the
time of such proposed substitution (or in the case of substitution because of
damage or destruction, the yield immediately prior to such damage or
destruction) and as reasonably projected over the remaining Term of this Lease
(and giving effect to projected residual values).
16.2 Substitution Procedures.
(a) If Tenant shall initiate a substitution pursuant to
Section 16.1 or 16.2, Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days
within which to review the designated properties and such additional
information and either accept or reject the Substitute Properties so
presented, unless Tenant is required by a court order or administrative
action to divest or otherwise dispose of the Leased Property within a
shorter time period, in which case the time period shall be shortened
appropriately to meet the reasonable
-39-
needs of Tenant, but in no event shall such period be less than five
(5) Business Days after Landlord's actual receipt of Tenant's notice
(subject to further extension for any period of time in which Landlord
is not timely provided with the information provided for in this
Section 16.3 and Section 16.4 below). Landlord and Tenant shall use
good faith efforts to agree on a Substitute Property.
(b) In the event that, on or before the expiration of the
applicable time period for Landlord's review, Landlord has rejected
both of the Substitute Properties so presented, Tenant shall, for a
period of sixty (60) days after the expiration of such period, have the
right to terminate this Lease, by the giving of written notice thereof
to Landlord, accompanied by an offer to purchase the Leased Property on
the date set forth in such notice, but in no event less than ninety
(90) days thereafter, for a purchase price equal to the greater of the
then Fair Market Value Purchase Price or the Minimum Repurchase Price,
and, subject to the provisions of Article 15, this Lease shall
terminate on such purchase date.
(c) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an
offer by Tenant to substitute a property as set forth in this Article
provided (i) Landlord shall determine the Substitute Property shall
provide Landlord with a yield substantially equivalent to Landlord's
yield from the Leased Property immediately before such substitution or
such damage or destruction, as the case may be, and as projected over
the remainder of the Term and (ii) the delivery of an opinion of
counsel for Landlord confirming that (w) the substitution of the
Substitute Property for the Leased Property will qualify as an exchange
solely of property of a like-kind under Section 1031 of the Code, in
which, generally, except for "boot", no gain or loss will be recognized
by Landlord, (x) the substitution will not result in ordinary recapture
income to Landlord pursuant to Section 1250(d)(4) of the Code or any
other provision of the Code, (y) the substitution will result in
income, if any, to Landlord of a type described in Section 856(c)(2) or
(3) of the Code and will not result in income of the types described in
Section 856(c)(4) of the Code or result in the tax imposed under
Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, and (z) the substitution, together with
all other substitutions made or requested by Tenant of all or any
portion of the Leased Property during the relevant time period, will
not jeopardize the qualification of Landlord as a real estate
investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Code.
(d) In the event that the then Fair Market Value of the
Substitute Property or group of Substitute Properties minus the
encumbrances assumed by Landlord, or as to which Landlord will take the
Substitute Property or group of Substitute Properties subject, as of
the Substitution Date is greater than the then Fair Market Value of the
Leased Property minus the encumbrances assumed by Tenant, or as to
which the Tenant will take the Leased Property subject, as of the
Substitution Date (or in the case of damage or destruction, the Fair
Market Value immediately prior to such damage or destruction), Landlord
shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to the difference, subject to the
limitation set forth below; in the event that such value of the
Substitute Property or group of Substitute Properties is less than such
value of the Leased Property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount
equal to the difference, subject to the limitation set forth below;
provided, however, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be obligated to
consummate such substitution if such party would be required to make a
payment (the "Cash
-40-
Adjustment") to the other in excess of an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property.
(e) The Rent for such Substitute Property shall, in all
respects, provide Landlord with a yield (i.e., annual return on its
equity in such property) substantially equivalent to Landlord's yield
from the Leased Property at the time of such substitution (or in the
case of substitution because of damage or destruction the yield
immediately prior to such damage or destruction) and as reasonably
projected over the remaining Term, taking into account the Cash
Adjustment paid or received by Landlord and any other relevant factors,
as reasonably determined by Landlord.
(f) The Minimum Repurchase Price of the Substitute Property
shall be an amount equal to the Minimum Repurchase Price of the Leased
Property (i) increased by any Cash Adjustment paid by Landlord pursuant
to paragraph (d) above, or (ii) decreased by any Cash Adjustment paid
by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (d) above.
16.3 Conditions to Substitution. On the Substitution Date, the

ARTICLE 17
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
17.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as hereinafter provided, Tenant
shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer
this Lease or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of
concessions and licenses and the like) all or any part of the Leased Property or
suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any other
rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged,
hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily,
involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of the
Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant, or the Leased Property to be
offered or advertised for assignment or subletting except as hereinafter
provided. For purposes of this Section 17.1, an assignment of this Lease shall
be deemed to include any transaction pursuant to which Tenant is merged or
consolidated with another entity or pursuant to which all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets are transferred to any other entity, as if such transaction
were an assignment of this Lease.
If this Lease is assigned or if the Leased Property or any part thereof
are sublet (or occupied by anybody other than Tenant and its employees)
Landlord, after default by Tenant hereunder, may collect the rents from such
assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount
collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a
waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 17.1,
the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case
may be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by
Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Lease.
No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing
primary liability of Tenant hereunder, and no consent to any subletting or
assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the
obligation to obtain the Landlord's written approval in the case of any other
subletting or assignment. No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect
the Primary Intended Use. Any subletting, assignment or other transfer of
Tenant's interest in this Lease in contravention of this Section 17.1 shall be
voidable at Landlord's option.
Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, (A) to
assign Tenant's interest in this Lease to a corporation or other entity which
shall (1) control, (2) be under the control of, or (3) be under common control
with the Tenant (the term "control" and "controlling" as used herein shall be
deemed to mean ownership or control (direct or indirect) of more than 50% of the
outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or an equivalent majority and
controlling interest in another form of entity) (any such entity being a
"Related Entity"); (B) to sublease all or part of the Leased Property to a
Related Entity; and (C) to grant concessions and licenses (subject and
subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which the Lease is subject and
subordinate), in the ordinary course of Tenant's business, for portions of the
Leased Property to be used in connection with Tenant's Primary Intended Use.
If the rent and other sums (including, without limitation, the
reasonable value of any services performed by any assignee or subtenant in
consideration of such assignment or sublease) either initially or over the term
of any assignment or sublease (excluding any
-43-
assignment or sublease to a Related Entity), payable by such assignee or
subtenant on account of an assignment or sublease exceed the Rent called for
hereunder with respect to the space assigned or sublet, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord as Additional Rent one hundred percent (100%) of such excess net of the
costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in procuring such sublease payable monthly
at the time for payment Minimum Rent.
17.2 Required Sublease Provisions. Any sublease of all or any portion
of the Leased Property shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this
Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subject or
subordinate, and that in the event of termination of this Lease or reentry or
dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its
option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor
under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to
Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that
neither Landlord nor any Facility Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as
Landlord under this Lease, if such mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall
(a) be liable for any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (b) be
subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued
to such subtenant against Tenant, (c) be bound by any previous modification of
such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent,
(d) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any-construction
of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, (e) be required to account for
any security deposit of the subtenant other than any security deposit actually
delivered to Landlord by Tenant, (f) be bound by any obligation to make any
payment to such subtenant or grant any credits, except for services, repairs,
maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease to be performed
after the date of such attornment, (g) be responsible for any monies owing by
Tenant to the credit of such Subtenant, or (h) be required to remove any person
occupying the Leased Property or any part thereof; and such sublease shall
provide that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of Landlord, execute
a suitable instrument in confirmation of such agreement to attorn. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions set
forth in the first paragraph of Section 17.1.
17.3 Sublease Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, (a) Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property on any
basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be
based, in whole or in part, on either (i) the income or profits derived by the
business activities of the sublessee, or (ii) any other formula such that any
portion of the sublease rental would fail to qualify as "rents from real
property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or
successor provision thereto and (b) Tenant will neither assign (including
through merger or consolidation) or sublet the Leased Property to any Person
performing management or servicing functions to, or on behalf of, Landlord or
any Affiliated Person thereof if either Landlord or its Affiliated Person
intends such Person to qualify as an "independent contractor from whom" neither
Landlord nor any Affiliated Person thereof "derives or receives any income"
within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code, nor will Tenant acquire any asset
or enter into any merger, consolidation or other transactions that would require
it to perform such functions in the capacity of a Person that either Landlord or
any Affiliated Person thereof intends to be an "independent contractor from
whom" neither Landlord nor any Affiliated Person "derives or receives any
income" within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code.
-44-
17.4 Assignment and Subletting Procedure. Anything contained in this
Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant wishes to enter into a sublease
with respect to any portion of the Leased Property or an assignment of this
Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such intent, which notice ("Tenant's
Notice") shall state, in the event of a proposed sublease, the location and
amount of area intended to be covered by such sublease and the term of the
proposed sublease, the proposed effective date of such sublease or assignment,
and the identity of such proposed subtenant or assignee and such other
information with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord
shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or
sublease, and Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to any proposed
assignment or sublease with a Related Entity, provided that in any such case
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written instrument, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, pursuant to which such assignee agrees
directly with Landlord to be bound by all the terms of this Lease and to be
jointly and severally liable with Tenant for all of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease.

19.1 Landlord's Right to Inspect. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its
authorized representatives to inspect the Leased Property during usual business
hours, and to do and make such repairs as Landlord is permitted or required to

ARTICLE 20
APPRAISAL
20.1 Appraisal Procedure. In the event that it becomes necessary to
determine the Fair Market Value, Fair Market Value Purchase Price or Fair Market
Rental of the Leased Property or a Substitute Property for any purpose of this
Lease, the party required or permitted to give notice of such required
determination (the "Initiating Party") shall include in such notice the name of
a designated Qualified Appraiser (hereinafter defined) on its behalf. Within 10
days after notice, the party receiving such notice (the "Responding Party")
shall, by written notice to the other, appoint a second Qualified Appraiser. If
the Responding Party shall fail, neglect or refuse within said ten-day period to
designate another appraiser willing so to act, the appraiser designated by the
Initiating Party shall designate the second Qualified Appraiser within ten (10)
days thereafter. The two appraisers so designated shall meet within ten (10)
days after the second appraiser is designated, and, if within ten (10) days
after the second appraiser is designated, the two appraisers do not agree upon
the Fair Market Value, Fair Market Value Purchase Price or Fair Market Rental,
as the case may be, of the applicable property as of the relevant date, the two
appraisers shall designate a third Qualified Appraiser, within ten (10) days
thereafter. In the event that the two appraisers are unable to agree upon the
appointment of a third Qualified Appraiser within such ten (10) day period,
either Landlord or Tenant, on behalf of both, may then request appointment of
such appraiser the then president of the American Arbitration Association. In
the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any appraiser to act, a new
appraiser shall be appointed in his stead, which appointment shall be made in
the same manner as hereinabove provided for the appointment of such appraiser so
failing, refusing or being unable to act. In the event that all appraisers
cannot agree upon such value ten (10) days as aforesaid, each appraiser shall
submit his appraisal of such value to the other two appraisers in writing, and
such value shall be determined by calculating the average of the two numerically
closest (or, if the values are equidistant, all three) values determined by the
three appraisers.
The costs, other than counsel fees, of such appraisal shall be borne
equally by the parties. Upon determining such value, the appraisers shall
promptly notify Landlord and Tenant in writing of such determination. If any
party shall fail to appear at the hearings appointed by the appraisers, the
appraisers may act in the absence of such party.
The determination of the board of appraisers (or the single additional
Qualified Appraiser, as appropriate) made in accordance with the foregoing
provisions shall be final and binding upon the parties, such determination may
be entered as an award in arbitration in a court of competent jurisdiction, and
judgment thereon may be entered.
ARTICLE 21
MORTGAGES
21.1 Landlord May Grant Liens. Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord
may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 21.1, from
time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any
lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement ("Encumbrance") upon the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether to
-47-
secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing. Any such
Encumbrance, other than one the proceeds of which are used to finance
construction of a Capital Addition pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.1
and 6,3, shall include the right to prepay (whether or not subject to a
prepayment penalty) and shall provide (subject to Section 21.2) that it is
subject to the rights of Tenant under this Lease.
21.2 Subordination of Lease. Subject to Section 21.1 and the last
paragraph of this Section 21.2, this Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder,
are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or master lease, and all
renewals, extensions, modifications and replacements thereof, and to all
mortgages and deeds of trust, which may now or hereafter affect the Leased
Property or any improvements thereon and/or any of such leases, whether or not
such mortgages or deeds of trust shall also cover other lands and/or buildings
and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such
mortgages and deeds of trust, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements
and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and deeds of trust and all
consolidations of such mortgages and deeds of trust. This section shall be
self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In
confirmation of such subordination Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge
and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the
holder of any such mortgage or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust
or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to
evidence such subordination. Any lease to which this Lease is, at the time
referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called "Superior Lease" and the
lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest at the time referred to,
is herein called "Superior Landlord" and any mortgage or deed of trust to which
this Lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate, is herein
called "Superior Mortgage" and the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior
Mortgage is herein called "Superior Mortgagee".
If any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or
designee of any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the
rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure
action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise, then at the request of
such party so succeeding to Landlord's rights (herein called "Successor
Landlord") and upon such Successor Landlord's written agreement to accept
Tenant's attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor
Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and
deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to
evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant
upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease,
except that the Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this
Lease or its nominee or designee) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant
for any act or omission, neglect or default on the, part of Landlord under this
Lease, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to
the credit of Tenant, (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which
theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord, (d) bound by any modification of
this Lease subsequent to such Superior Lease or Mortgage, or by any previous
prepayment of Minimum Rent for more than one (1) month, which was not approved
in writing by the Superior Landlord or the Superior Mortgagee thereto, (e)
liable to the Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord's interest in the Leased
Property and the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits issuing
from the Leased Property, (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be
done by the Landlord under this Lease to render the Leased Property ready for
occupancy by Tenant, or (g) required to
-48-
remove any person occupying the Leased Property or any part thereof, except if
such person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord. Tenant agrees at
any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation
of Tenant's agreement to attorn, as aforesaid.
Tenant's obligation to subordinate this Lease and Tenant's rights
hereunder to any Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease shall be conditioned upon
Landlord obtaining from any Superior Mortgagee or Superior Landlord, an
agreement which shall be executed by Tenant and such Superior Mortgagee or
Superior Landlord which shall provide in substance that so long as no Event of
Default exists as would entitle Landlord or any such Superior Mortgagee or
Superior Landlord to terminate this Lease or would cause, without any further
action of Landlord or such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Landlord, the
termination of this Lease or would entitle Landlord or such Superior Mortgagee
or Superior Landlord to dispossess Tenant, this Lease shall not be terminated,
nor shall Tenant's use, possession or enjoyment of the Leased Property, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease, be interfered with, nor
shall the leasehold estate granted by this Lease be affected in any other
manner, in any foreclosure or any action or proceeding instituted under or in
connection with such Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease, or in the event such
Superior Mortgagee or Superior Landlord takes possession of the Leased Property
pursuant to any provisions of such Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease, unless
Landlord or such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Landlord would have had such
right of termination pursuant to this Lease. Such agreement shall be in form
customarily used by the holder of any such Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease.
21.3 Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Landlord. Subsequent to the receipt
by Tenant of notice from any person, firm or other entity that it is a Facility
Mortgagee, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord, as
ground lessee, which includes the Leased Property as part of the demised
premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until
a copy of the same is given to such Facility Mortgagee or ground lessor and the
curing of any of Landlord's defaults by such Facility Mortgagee or ground lessor
shall be treated as performance by Landlord.
