Annual escalations of three percent (3%) of the Fixed Rent shall apply to such adjusted Fixed Rent amount beginning on the first day of the next Lease Year beginning after the date of such adjustment. In addition, once Tenant has achieved a significant history of sustained profitable operations, ACH as managing member of Landlord, shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to source third party financing on more favorable terms to Landlord than those set forth above in this paragraph, but any such further refinancing shall not impact the amount of Fixed Rent due under this Lease.

(iv) The Fixed Rent for each month during the Lease Term of this Lease shall be paid in advance, on the first day of each and every month during the Lease Term of this Lease, at the following address of Landlord, or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to time in writing: 0000 Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Chief Financial Officer. Tenant’s obligation for Fixed Rent shall accrue as of the Lease Commencement Date. Fixed Rent shall be paid by automatic bank transfer if requested by Landlord or such other method that is reasonably requested by Landlord. If the Lease Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of the month, the first monthly installment of Fixed Rent shall be prorated based on the number of calendar days in such month included in the Initial Term as compared to the total number of days in such calendar month, and be payable on the Lease Commencement Date, along with the monthly Fixed Rent payment for the first full calendar month of the Initial Term.
5

Tenant shall pay to Landlord any and all state and local sales tax, use tax, franchise tax (including the Texas “margins tax”) and/or gross receipts tax imposed on any payment deemed to be Rent under this Lease or under the Laws and rules and regulations imposing such taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant will pay directly to Landlord all state and local sales tax, use tax, franchise tax and/or gross receipts tax upon presentation of invoice or written direction of Landlord and Landlord will remit the same to the appropriate governmental entity.
(d) Late Charge. If Tenant fails to pay Rent within three (3) days after due, the amount unpaid will be subject to: (i) a late payment charge, as Additional Rent, of six percent (6%) of the amount unpaid, but not less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) plus applicable sales tax, in each instance to cover Landlord’s additional administrative costs; and (ii) interest on all such unpaid sums (other than the late payment charge) which interest shall commence accruing on the payment due date at a per annum rate equal to eighteen percent (18%). All payments will be applied to the oldest balance first then any other outstanding balance (including accrued late fees). Tenant’s obligation to pay late charges and interest pursuant to this Section will exist in addition to, and not in the place of, the other default provisions in this Lease.
Section 4.03. Monetary Obligations. Tenant shall pay and discharge all sums of money required to be paid or reimbursed by Tenant under this Lease to Landlord, to any party on behalf of Landlord, or to any Indemnified Party (“Monetary Obligations”). Tenant shall pay and discharge any Monetary Obligations when the same shall become due, provided that amounts which are billed to Landlord or any third party, but not to Tenant, shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s demand for payment thereof or, if later, when the same are due.
Section 4.04. Net Rental. The Fixed Rent shall be completely net rent to Landlord, and during the entire Lease Term of this Lease, including any Extension Term, Landlord shall have no cost, obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for repairing, maintaining, operating or owning the Property. The parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord would not enter into this Lease if the Rent described in this Lease were not absolutely net to Landlord or if Landlord were to incur any liability whatsoever, foreseen or unforeseen, with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, or Tenant’s exercise of any other of its rights under this Lease. Accordingly, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall pay all expenses, costs, taxes, fees and charges of any nature whatsoever arising in connection with or attributable to the Property, during the Lease
6
Term of this Lease or in any manner whatsoever arising as a result of Tenant’s exercise of, or Landlord’s grant of, the rights described in this Lease, including, without limitation, all fees of Tenant’s consultants, intangible personal property taxes, ad valorem real estate taxes, assessments, sewer and water rents, rates and charges, Tenant’s accounting and attorney’s fees, costs of any financing obtained by Tenant, costs of any leasehold title insurance policy obtained by Tenant, utility charges and insurance premiums. Tenant shall pay all Rent and all other charges due under this Lease without notice or demand and without any deductions, set-offs, counterclaims, abatements, suspensions or defenses of any kind. It is the intention of the parties that the obligations of Tenant shall be separate and independent covenants, that the Rent, and all other charges payable by Tenant shall continue to be payable in all events, and that the obligations of Tenant shall continue unaffected unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated or modified pursuant to an express provision of this Lease. Tenant shall pay and be responsible to Landlord for all costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities and acts necessary to and for the proper use, operation, maintenance, care and occupancy of the Property. Tenant waives all rights now or in the future conferred by law to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or the Property or to any abatement, suspension, deferment, or reduction of the Rent, or any other charges under this Lease.
Section 4.05. Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than is due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than payment towards or on account of the earliest portion of the amount then due by Tenant nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment (or in any letter accompanying any check or payment) be deemed an accord and satisfaction (or payment in full), and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such amount or pursue any other remedy provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity.
Section 4.06. Holdover. In the event that Tenant remains in possession of the Property after the expiration of this Lease without the written permission of Landlord, and without the execution of a new lease, Tenant shall be deemed occupying the Property as a tenant at sufferance only, at a rental rate equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Fixed Rent in effect upon the date of such expiration, together with the Additional Rent and any Monetary Obligations, subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable to such tenancy. Acceptance by Landlord of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or payment of any Monetary Obligations after such expiration shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease or permit Tenant to continue such holdover. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06 are in addition to and do not affect Landlord’s right of re-entry or any rights of Landlord hereunder or as otherwise provided by law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Property upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from all loss or liability, including, without limitation, any claim made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender.

The rights of Landlord under this paragraph are without prejudice to any other remedies not inconsistent herewith which Landlord may have against Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, whether due to lapse of time or otherwise.
(h) So long as the termination of this Lease is not due to a default by Tenant hereunder and provided further that Tenant has performed in accordance with this Section 9.06, Landlord for itself, its successors and assigns hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Tenant and its successors and assigns harmless from any and all claims, demands, obligations, losses, liabilities, damages, recoveries and deficiencies (including interest, penalties and reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses) which any of them may suffer as a result of the breach by Landlord in the performance of any of its commitments, covenants or obligations under this Section 9.06, or with respect to any suits, arbitration proceedings, administrative actions or investigations which relate to the use of the Property after the Lease Term or for any liability which may arise from operation of the Property as an acute care hospital after the Lease Term. The rights of Tenant under this paragraph are without prejudice to any other remedies not inconsistent herewith which
34
Tenant may have against Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise.

Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any loss, injury or damages suffered by Tenant to the extent such loss, injury or damage may be covered by applicable insurance policies, nor shall Landlord have any liability whatsoever for consequential damages suffered by Tenant.

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, under no circumstances shall any personal liability attach to or be imposed upon Landlord or any partners, officers, directors, managers, members, agents or employees of Landlord.

Section 11.03. Total Condemnation. In the event of a Total Condemnation of any Property, other than a Temporary Taking, then, in such event:
(a) Termination of Lease. All obligations of either party hereunder with respect to the Property shall cease as of the date of the Total Condemnation; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and all other Monetary Obligations (whether payable to Landlord or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to such Property prior to the date of termination shall survive such termination.

(b) Net Award. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire Net Award in connection with a Total Condemnation without deduction for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease, and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in and to every such Net Award and agrees that Tenant shall not be entitled to any Net Award or other payment for the value of Tenant’s leasehold interest in this Lease.
Section 11.04. Temporary Taking. In the event of a Condemnation of all or any part of any Property for a temporary use (a “Temporary Taking”), this Lease shall remain in full force and effect without any reduction of Fixed Rent or any other Monetary

Obligation payable hereunder. Except as provided below and subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgages, Tenant shall be entitled to the entire Net Award for a Temporary Taking, unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning authorities shall extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease, in which event the Net Award made for such Temporary Taking shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such expiration. At the termination of any such Temporary Taking, Tenant will, at its own cost and expense and pursuant to the provisions of Article 7, promptly commence and complete restoration of such Property.
Section 11.05. Adjustment of Losses. Any loss under any property damage insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall be adjusted by Landlord and Tenant. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgages, any Net Award relating to a Total Condemnation or a Partial Condemnation shall be adjusted by Landlord or, at Landlord’s election, Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Section 11.05 to the contrary, but subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgages, if at the time of any Condemnation or any Casualty or at any time thereafter an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord is hereby authorized and empowered but shall not be obligated, in the name and on behalf of Tenant and otherwise, to file and prosecute Tenant’s claim, if any, for a Net Award on account of such Condemnation or such Casualty and to collect such Net Award and apply the same to the curing of such Event of Default and any other then existing Event of Default under this Lease and/or to the payment of any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, in such order, priority and proportions as Landlord in its discretion shall deem proper.
Section 11.06. Tenant Obligation in Event of Casualty.

(c) to bring an action against Tenant for any damages sustained by Landlord or any equitable relief available to Landlord and to seize all Personalty upon the Property which Tenant owns or in which it has an interest, in which Landlord shall have a landlord’s lien and/or security interest, and, at Landlord’s election, to dispose thereof in
42
accordance with the Laws prevailing at the time and place of such seizure or to remove all or any portion of such Personalty and cause the same to be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at Tenant’s sole expense, without becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom and without resorting to legal or judicial process, procedure or action;
(d) to accelerate and recover from Tenant all Rent and other Monetary Obligations due and owing and scheduled to become due and owing under this Lease both before and after the date of such breach for the entire Initial Term or any exercised Extension Term;

Upon any such re-letting, all rentals received by Landlord from such re letting shall be applied first to the costs incurred by Landlord in accomplishing any such re-letting, and thereafter shall be applied to the Rent owed by Tenant to Landlord during the remainder of the Lease Term of this Lease and Tenant shall pay any deficiency between the remaining Rent due hereunder and the amount received by such re-letting as and when due hereunder;
(f) allow the Property to remain unoccupied (so long as Landlord satisfies any duty established by applicable law which cannot legally be waived by Tenant to mitigate its damages) and collect Rent from Tenant as it becomes due; and/or
(g) pursue such other remedies as are available at law or in equity.
In the event Landlord elects either to terminate this Lease or to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Property upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, then all licenses, certifications, permits and authorizations issued by any governmental agency, body or authority in connection with or relating to the Permitted Facility shall be deemed as being assigned to Landlord, to the extent assignable.

To effectuate the foregoing, this Lease shall be deemed and construed as an assignment for purposes of vesting in Landlord all right, title and interest in and to (i) all licenses, certifications, permits and authorizations obtained in connection with the Permitted Facility, to the extent assignable, and (ii) the names of the Permitted Facility and telephone numbers used in connection with the Permitted Facility. Tenant hereby agrees to take such other action and execute such other documents as may be necessary in order to vest in Landlord all right, title and interest to the items specified herein.
Section 12.03. Landlord’s Option to Cure. If: (i) Tenant defaults in the making of any payment or in the doing of any act herein required to be made or done by Tenant; or (ii) Tenant defaults in the making of payment to any third party, or doing any act required to be
43
made or done by Tenant for or on behalf of said third party relating to the Property, then Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make such payment or do such act, and charge the amount of the expense thereof, if made or done by Landlord, with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date paid by Landlord to the date of payment thereof by Tenant. Such payment and interest shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder due and payable with the next monthly installment of Fixed Rent; but the making of such payment or the taking of such action by Landlord shall not operate to cure such default or to stop Landlord from the pursuit of any remedy to which Landlord would otherwise be entitled.
Section 12.04. No Election. No reentry or retaking possession of the Property by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other monies due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violations of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Landlord’s acceptance of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or other monies following any Event of Default hereunder shall not be construed as Landlord’s waiver of such Event of Default. No forbearance by Landlord of action upon any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or default. Legal actions to recover for loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of termination of this Lease or the deficiency from any reletting as provided for above shall include the expense of repossession or reletting, including brokerage commissions, and any repairs or remodeling undertaken by Landlord following repossession. The remedies of Landlord are cumulative.
Section 12.05. Tenant Waiver. Tenant hereby expressly waives, for itself and all Persons claiming by, through and under Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, (a) any right and privilege which Tenant has under any present or future Legal Requirements to redeem the Property or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease Term after termination of Tenant’s right of occupancy by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, or under the terms of this Lease; (b) the benefits of any present or future Legal Requirement that exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent; (c) any present or future Legal Requirement relating to notice or delay in levy of execution in case of eviction of a tenant for nonpayment of rent; (d) any benefits and lien rights which may arise pursuant to any present or future Legal Requirement; and (e) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation of Landlord to relet the Property or to mitigate its damages.
Section 12.06. Counterclaim Waiver. THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL, AND THEY HEREBY DO, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, THIS LEASE, THE PROPERTY, AND/OR CLAIM OF
44
INJURY OR DAMAGE. FURTHERMORE, TENANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND INDIRECT DAMAGES FROM LANDLORD AND ANY OF THE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS OR EMPLOYEES OF LANDLORD OR ANY OF THEIR SUCCESSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ISSUES PRESENTED IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR ANY DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR RELATED HERETO. THE WAIVER BY TENANT OF ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND INDIRECT DAMAGES HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BY THE PARTIES HERETO AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THEIR BARGAIN.
Section 12.07. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event it shall become necessary (as determined by Landlord) for Landlord at any time to institute or defend any legal action or proceedings of any nature for the enforcement of, or as regards this Lease, or any of the provisions hereof, or any of Landlord’s statutory or common law rights as concern Tenant, or to employ an attorney therefor, Tenant agrees to pay all court costs and all of Landlord’s Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.
ARTICLE 13

Section 13.01. No Liens. Landlord’s interest in this Lease and/or the Property shall not be subordinate to any liens or encumbrances placed upon the Property by or resulting from any act of Tenant, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to require such subordination by Landlord. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT TENANT IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE OR ALLOW TO BE PLACED ANY LIEN, MORTGAGE, DEED OF TRUST, DEED TO SECURE DEBT, SECURITY INTEREST OR ENCUMBRANCE OF ANY KIND UPON ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY OR TENANT’S LEASEHOLD INTEREST THEREIN, AND ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE VOID.
Section 13.02. Subordination. This Lease at all times shall automatically be subordinate to the lien of any and all ground leases and Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon any of the Property by Landlord, and Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand, such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any or all such ground leases and Mortgages as shall be desired by Landlord, or any present or proposed Lenders under trust deeds, upon the condition that Tenant shall have the right to remain in possession of the Property under the terms of this Lease, notwithstanding any default in any or all such ground leases or Mortgages, or after the foreclosure of any such Mortgages, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Landlord agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with a SNDA executed by each Lender holding a Mortgage, and Tenant agrees to promptly execute and return such SNDA to Landlord.
45
Section 13.03. Election To Declare Lease Superior. If any Lender, receiver or other secured party elects to have this Lease and the interest of Tenant hereunder, be superior to any Mortgage and evidences such election by notice given to Tenant, then this Lease and the interest of Tenant hereunder shall be deemed superior to any such Mortgage, whether this Lease was executed before or after such Mortgage and in that event such Lender, receiver or other secured party shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as if it had been executed and delivered prior to the execution and delivery of such Mortgage and had been assigned to such Lender, receiver or other secured party.
Section 13.04. Tenant’s Attornment. Tenant covenants and agrees that, if by reason of a default upon the part of Landlord herein in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of any Mortgage, and the estate of Landlord thereunder is terminated by summary dispossession proceedings or otherwise, Tenant will attorn to the then Lender or the purchaser in such foreclosure proceedings, as the case may be, and will recognize such Lender or such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of any Lender or the purchaser in foreclosure proceedings, any instrument which may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment. Tenant further waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may terminate this Lease or give or purport to give Tenant any right of election to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Property in the event any such proceedings are brought against Landlord under such Mortgage or by any Lender, and agrees that this Lease shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such proceedings.
Section 13.05. Notice to Lender. Tenant shall give written notice to any Lender having a recorded lien upon any of the Property or any part thereof of which Tenant has been notified of any breach or default by Landlord of any of its obligations under this Lease and give such Lender at least sixty (60) days beyond any notice period to which Landlord might be entitled to cure such default before Tenant may exercise any remedy with respect thereto.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT
Section 14.01. Assignment by Landlord. As a material inducement to Landlord’s willingness to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Lease (the “Transaction”) and the other Transaction Documents, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord may, from time to time and at any time and without the consent of Tenant, engage in all or any combination of the following, or enter into agreements in connection with any of the following or in accordance with requirements that may be imposed by applicable securities, tax or other Laws: (a) the sale, assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, financing, refinancing, purchase or reacquisition of all, less than all or any portion of the Property, this Lease or any other Transaction Document, Landlord’s right, title and interest in this Lease or any other Transaction Document, the servicing rights with respect to any of the foregoing, or participations in any of the foregoing; or (b) a Securitization and related transactions. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and
46
agree that Landlord, in its sole discretion, may assign this Lease or any interest herein to another Person (including without limitation, a taxable REIT subsidiary or Affiliate) in order to maintain Landlord’s or any of its Affiliates’ status as a REIT. In the event of any such sale, transfer or assignment other than a security assignment by Landlord of its interest in this Lease and the Property, Landlord shall thereby be released from any obligations accruing hereunder as of and after the date of such transfer, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of Landlord following any such transfer of such interest either voluntarily or by operation of law, to recognize such successor as Landlord under this Lease, and look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations. Landlord shall remain liable for any obligations of Landlord hereunder accruing prior to the date of the transfer of the Property by Landlord. Any security given by Tenant to secure the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder may be assigned and transferred by Landlord to its successor in interest, and Landlord shall thereby be discharged of any further obligation relating thereto. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the sale, assignment or other transfer and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request, provided that the same do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.
Section 14.02. Transfer by Tenant.
(a) No Transfer. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, license, franchise, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber (collectively “Transfer”) all or any part of this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet, franchise, change ownership or license (also included as a “Transfer”) all or any part of the Property, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event of a Transfer Tenant shall remain fully liable for all of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including obligations arising subsequent to the date of the Transfer. Any attempted Transfer without any required consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall confer no rights upon any third parties. Without in any way limiting Landlord’s right to refuse to give such consent for any other reason or reasons, Landlord hereby reserves the right to refuse to give such consent if in Landlord’s sole discretion (i) the quality of the business operation conducted on the Property is or may in any way be adversely affected during the Lease Term of this Lease by such proposed Transfer, (ii) the financial net worth of a proposed new tenant is less than that of Tenant, or (iii) the proposed new tenant is a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof. Consent by Landlord to any Transfer of the Property or any interest therein shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s rights under this Section as to any subsequent Transfer.
(b) Notice. In the event that Tenant desires at any time to Transfer the Property or any portion thereof, Tenant shall submit to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer (“Proposed Effective Date”), in writing: (a) a request for permission to Transfer, setting forth the Proposed Effective Date, which shall be no less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days after the sending of such notice; (b) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee or other party; (c) the nature of the business to be carried in the Property after the Transfer: (d) the terms and provisions of
47
the proposed Transfer; (e) a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the Transfer; and (f) current financial statements (audited, if requested by Landlord) of Tenant and the proposed subtenant or assignee; and such additional information that Landlord may reasonably request in order to make a reasoned judgment.
(c) Collect/Effect of Transfer. If this Lease is assigned, or if the Property or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect Rents from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rents herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s covenant set forth in the first sentence of Section 14.02(a) above, nor shall such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection be deemed an acceptance by Landlord of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant or any guarantor from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained, or affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder (which, following any assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee). If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a transferee, and (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
(d) No Waiver. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, or any indulgences, waivers or extensions of time granted by Landlord to assignee or subtenant, or any failure by Landlord to take action against any assignee or subtenant, Tenant waives notice of any default of any assignee or subtenant and agrees that Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, proceed against Tenant without having taken action against or joined such assignee or subtenant, except that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of time granted to any such assignee or subtenant. Landlord may make reasonable charges to Tenant for any reasonable attorneys’ fees or expenses incident to any documentation relating to any proposed Transfer by Tenant.
(e) Implied Assignment. If Tenant hereunder is a corporation, an unincorporated association, a limited liability company or a partnership, the transfer, merger, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association, limited liability company or partnership in the aggregate in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Section; provided, however, that: (a) an assignment of any such stock or interest with respect to a corporation, a limited liability company, or partnership whose shares or partnership interests are publicly traded, (b) an assignment or sublease to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or (c) an assignment or sublease by a shareholder or member to his spouse or children or to a trust for the benefit of his spouse or children, are all excepted from the foregoing provision.
(f) Conditions to Landlord’s Consent. Landlord’s consent to any assignment shall be conditioned inter alia, upon the requirement that the proposed assignee shall have the same or greater creditworthiness and financial net worth as Tenant and that the proposed assignee shall expressly assume all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
48
Landlord’s consent to any sublease shall be conditioned, inter alia, upon the requirement that the sublease shall state: (i) that it is subject to all of the provisions of this Lease; and (ii) that the subtenant’s rights shall not survive the earlier termination of this Lease, whether by voluntary cancellation between Landlord and Tenant, or otherwise.
Section 14.03. No Sale of Assets. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not sell all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets. Any sale of Tenant’s assets in violation of this Section 14.03, shall be voidable at the sole option of Landlord. Any consent to a sale of Tenant’s assets given by Landlord hereunder shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent sale of Tenant’s assets.

ARTICLE 16
LANDLORD’S LIEN/SECURITY INTEREST
Section 16.01. Lien on Personal Property. Landlord shall have a first lien paramount to all others (except any Mortgage made by Landlord and any Permitted Liens, as defined in the Loan Agreement between Landlord as borrower, Tenant as tenant and MRT of Lakeway, TX – ACH, LLC as lender) on every right and interest of Tenant in and to this Lease, and on any Personalty, assignable accounts receivable (excluding those receivables currently securing Tenant’s working capital line of credit with Gemino Healthcare Finance and any subsequent working capital lender and working capital financing reasonably approved by Landlord), certificates of need, licenses, provider agreements, certifications, books, records and other property of any kind belonging to Tenant and used in connection with the Lease or located at the Property. Such lien and security interest is hereby granted by Tenant to Landlord for the purpose of securing the payments of Rent, Additional Rent, Monetary Obligations, charges, penalties, and damages herein covenanted to be paid by Tenant, and for the purpose of securing the performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Such lien shall be in addition to all rights to Landlord given and provided by law. This Lease shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code granting Landlord a security interest in any Personalty, assignable accounts receivable, certificates of need, licenses, provider agreements, certifications, books, records and other personal property of any kind belonging to Tenant, and Tenant shall execute such other instruments and financing statements as Landlord may request to evidence or perfect said security interest. None of the Personalty, goods, wares, merchandise, inventory, equipment or other personal property of Tenant situated on the Property shall be removed from the Property without the prior written consent of Landlord. In the Event of Default of Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall have any and all rights and remedies granted a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the state where the Property is located. The exercise of the foregoing remedy by Landlord shall not relieve or discharge Tenant from any deficiency owed to Landlord which Landlord has the right to enforce pursuant to any other provision of this Lease. Tenant covenants to promptly notify Landlord of any changes in Tenant’s name and/or organizational structure which may necessitate the execution and filing of additional financing statements; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed as Landlord’s consent to such changes.

ARTICLE 17
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 17.01. Recitals and Exhibits. The recitals of fact set forth above are true and correct and are by this reference made a part of this Lease. All Exhibits attached to this Lease are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 17.02. Landlord Definition. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means only the owner of fee simple title of the Property, or the Lender in possession for the time being of the Property so that in the event of any sale, or other transfer of the Property, Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all obligations of Landlord hereunder and it shall be deemed without further agreement between the parties and such purchaser(s), assignee(s) or Tenant(s) that the purchaser, assignee or Tenant has assumed and agreed to observe and perform all obligations of Landlord hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed, such agreement being a primary consideration for the execution Lease by Landlord, that Landlord’s obligations and liability with respect to this Lease shall be limited solely to Landlord’s interest in the building and the Property, as such interest is constituted from time to time, which interest shall include all proceeds from the sale of the building, insurance awards, and Condemnation awards, and neither Landlord nor any partner of Landlord, or any officer, director, shareholder, manager, partner or member, shall have any individual or personal liability whatsoever with respect to this Lease.
Section 17.03. Remedies Cumulative. Mention in this Lease of any specific right or remedy shall not preclude Landlord from exercising any other right or from having any other remedy or from maintaining any action to which it may be otherwise entitled either at law or in equity including, without limitation Landlord’s remedies for Tenant’s default in the payment of Rent. The failure of Landlord to insist in anyone or more instances upon a strict performance of any covenant of Tenant under this Lease or to exercise any option or right herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such covenant, right or option, but it shall remain in full force and effect unless the contrary is expressly waived in writing by Landlord.
Section 17.04. Recording. It is agreed that Tenant shall not record this Lease without first obtaining written permission from Landlord, which permission may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.

Section 17.07. Securitizations. As a material inducement to Landlord’s willingness to enter into the Transactions contemplated by this Lease and the other Transaction Documents, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, from time to time and at any time (a) advertise, issue press releases, send direct mail or otherwise disclose information regarding the Transaction for marketing purposes; and (b) (i) act or permit another Person to act as sponsor, settler, transferor or depositor of, or a holder of interests in, one or more Persons or other arrangements formed pursuant to a trust agreement, indenture, pooling agreement, participation agreement, sale and servicing agreement, limited liability company agreement, partnership agreement, articles of incorporation or similar agreement or document; and (ii) permit one or more of such Persons or arrangements to offer and sell stock, certificates, bonds, notes, other evidences of indebtedness or securities that are directly or indirectly secured, collateralized or otherwise backed by or represent a direct or indirect interest in whole or in part in any of the assets, rights or properties described in Section 14.01 of this Lease, in one or more Persons or arrangements holding such assets, rights or properties, or any of them (collectively, the “Securities”), whether any such Securities are privately or publicly offered and sold, or rated or unrated (any combination of which actions and transactions described in both clauses (i) and (ii) in this paragraph, whether proposed or completed, are referred to in this Lease as a “Securitization”). Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord and any Affected Party with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures and to use reasonable efforts to facilitate such Securitization, including, without limitation, providing for inclusion in any prospectus or other Securities offering material such documents, financial and other data, and other information and materials which would customarily be required with respect to Tenant by a purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor or rating agency involved with respect to such Securitization, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord for any and all liabilities, losses and expenses arising under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, in connection with any material misstatement (or alleged misstatement) contained in such information provided in writing (including, without limitation, electronically) by Tenant or its officers, managers, members, employees, or agents, or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact by Tenant or its officers, managers, members, employees, or agents, the inclusion of which was necessary to make such written information not misleading, unless such material misstatement or alleged misstatement or omission or alleged omission is caused by Landlord or its directors, officers, managers, members, shareholders, employees, or agents. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, any Affected Party and to any Person designated by Landlord, such statements and audit letters of reputable, independent certified public accountants pertaining to the written information provided by Tenant pursuant to this Section as shall be requested by Landlord or such Affected Party, as the case may be. Tenant also shall deliver to Landlord, any Affected Party and to any Person designated by Landlord or any Affected Party, such opinions of counsel (including, without limitation, local counsel opinions), appraisals, environmental reports and zoning letters, or updates of any of the foregoing, as are customarily delivered in connection with Securitizations or as may be required by any rating agency in connection with any Securitization.
52
Section 17.08. Bankruptcy. As a material inducement to Landlord executing this Lease, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is relying upon (a) the financial condition and specific operating experience of Tenant and Tenant’s obligation to use the Property as a Permitted Facility; (b) Tenant’s timely performance of all of its obligations under this Lease before and following the entry of an order for relief under the Bankruptcy Code for Tenant; and (c) all defaults under this Lease being cured promptly and this Lease being assumed within sixty (60) days of any order for relief entered under the Bankruptcy Code (or similar insolvency statute) for Tenant, or this Lease being rejected within such sixty (60) day period and the Property surrendered to Landlord. Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Lease and for other good and valuable consideration, Tenant hereby agrees that: (i) all obligations that accrue under this Lease (including the obligation to pay Rent and maintain the Property in a particular manner), shall be timely performed whether or not there exists an Insolvency Event with regard to Tenant and any failure to so perform shall be harmful and prejudicial to Landlord; (ii) any and all Rents that accrue from and after an Insolvency Event and that are not paid as required by this Lease shall, in the amount of such Rents, constitute administrative expense claims allowable under the Bankruptcy Code with priority of payment at least equal to that of any other actual and necessary expenses incurred after an Insolvency Event; (iii) any extension of the time period within which Tenant may assume or reject this Lease without an obligation to cause all obligations under this Lease to be performed as and when required under this Lease shall be harmful and prejudicial to Landlord; (iv) any time period designated as the period within which Tenant must cure all defaults and compensate Landlord for all pecuniary losses which extends beyond the date of assumption of this Lease shall be harmful and prejudicial to Landlord; (v) any assignment of this Lease must result in all terms and conditions of this Lease being assumed by the assignee without alteration or amendment, and any assignment which results in an amendment or alteration of the terms and conditions of this Lease without the express written consent of Landlord shall be harmful and prejudicial to Landlord; (vi) any assignment of this Lease must result in all terms and conditions of this Lease being assumed by the assignee without amendment or alteration, and any assignment which results in alteration or amendment of the terms and conditions of this Lease without the express written consent of Landlord shall be harmful and prejudicial to Landlord if made to an assignee that does not possess the financial condition or means adequate to operate the Permitted Facility upon the Property or operating performance and experience characteristics satisfactory to Landlord equal to or better than the financial condition, operating performance and experience of Tenant as of the Effective Date; and (vii) the rejection (or deemed rejection) of this Lease for any reason whatsoever shall constitute cause for immediate relief from the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and Tenant stipulates that such automatic stay shall be lifted immediately and possession of the Property will be delivered to Landlord immediately without the necessity of any further action by Landlord. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights or remedies under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable Law to oppose any assumption and/or assignment of this Lease, to require timely performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or to regain possession of the Property as a result of the failure of Tenant to comply with the terms and
53
conditions of this Lease or the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as such, shall constitute “rent” for the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code.

In addition, Landlord shall, upon demand, be entitled to all Attorneys’ Fees and all other Costs incurred in the preparation and service of any notice or demand hereunder, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced.
Section 17.15. Lender Protection. In the event that a Lender or potential Lender of the Property requests modifications to this Lease, Tenant agrees to consent to all such reasonable modifications to this Lease, provided none of the modifications change the Fixed Rent due hereunder and none of the modifications impose any material additional burden or expense on Tenant. Tenant agrees that in the event of any default by Landlord in any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, that Tenant shall notify any Lender holding a recorded lien on the Property and any such Lender shall have a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice from Tenant to cure any default. When, however, the nature of the default of Landlord is such that it cannot be cured within said sixty (60) days, any such Lender shall have such additional time as may be reasonably required to cure any such default, provided any such Lender: (i) shall have commenced to cure any such default within said sixty (60) day period; and (ii) shall diligently continue such steps until such default is cured. No alleged default by Landlord shall be deemed perfected until the expiration of the time(s) given to the Lender under the provisions of this section.

Section 17.18. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence and in all provisions of this Lease.

Section 17.20. Real Estate Investment Trust.
