00000.
RECITALS
A. HCN-LA
entered into a Lease Agreement dated as of July 29, 1998, as amended ("Original
Lease") with Summerville at Kenner, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("Kenner") for a property located in Kenner, Louisiana, as more particularly
described therein ("Kenner Property"). As of the Effective Date, Kenner shall
assign its interest in the Original Lease to Tenant pursuant to an Assignment
of
Lease of even date herewith, and Kenner shall enter into a new sublease with
Tenant for the Kenner Property.
B. In
addition, Tenant has agreed to assume the operation of facilities located in
Westerville, Ohio and Dayton, Ohio that are owned by HCN and were previously
leased to another tenant (collectively called "Additional
Properties").
C. Landlord
and Tenant desire to amend and restate the Original Lease to modify certain
terms and conditions, to include the Additional Properties, and to add HCN
as a
Landlord. This Lease amends, restates, and replaces the Original Lease in
its_entirety.
D. Landlord
desires to lease the Leased Property to Tenant and Tenant desires to lease
the
Leased Property from Landlord upon the terms set forth in this
Lease.
NOW,
THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
ARTICLE
1: LEASED PROPERTY, TERM AND DEFINITIONS
1.1
Leased Property. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby
leases from Landlord the Leased Property, subject, however, to the Permitted
Exceptions and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
1.2
Indivisible Lease. This Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the
entire Leased Property. The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit and
the Base Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based
on a lease of all of the Leased Property as a single,
composite,
inseparable transaction. This Lease would not have been made on these terms
if
it was not a single indivisible lease. Except as expressly provided herein
for
specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise
stated), all provisions of
this
Lease shall apply equally and uniformly to all the Leased Property as one unit
and any Event of Default under this Lease is an Event of Default as to the
entire Leased Property. The parties intend that the provisions of this Lease
shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out
their mutual objective to create a single indivisible lease of all the Leased
Property and, in particular but without limitation, that for purposes of any
assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under the Bankruptcy Code,
this is
one indivisible and nonseverable lease and executory contract
dealing with one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or
assigned as
a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Leased Property
covered hereby. The parties agree that the existence of more than one Landlord
under this Lease does not affect the indivisible, nonseverable nature of this
Lease. The parties may amend this Lease from time to time to include one or
more
additional Facility Properties as part of the Leased Property and such future
addition to the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible
and
nonseverable nature of this Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall
continue to apply in full force.
1.3
Term. The initial term ("Initial Term") of this Lease commences on the Effective
Date and expires at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Time on February 28, 2018 (the
"Expiration Date"); provided, however, that [i] Tenant has one or more options
to renew the Lease pursuant to Article 12, and [ii] that any addition to the
Leased Property pursuant to amendment of this Lease shall extend the Initial
Term so that the Initial Term shall expire on the day before the eleventh
anniversary of the Amendment Commencement Date as set forth in such amendment.
In addition, if Landlord or any Landlord Affiliate enters into a lease
transaction with Tenant or any Affiliate, the Initial Term shall automatically
be extended to be coterminous with the most recently closed lease
transaction.

Base
Rent according to the Rent Schedule in effect on the day before the Payment
Date; and [ii] within 10 days following Landlord's issuance of an invoice,
pay
the difference between the installment of Base Rent that Tenant paid to Landlord

of the date of the refund. Landlord shall be entitled to any refund
from any taxing authority if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Any refunds retained by Landlord due to an Event of Default shall be applied
as
provided in §8.8. 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. Landlord, to the
extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same,
will provide the other party, 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, Tenant will be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating
a
value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file
a
protest. Tenant may, upon notice to Landlord, at Tenant's option and at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings
as
Tenant may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate
or
personal property assessments and Landlord, at Tenant's expense as
aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Tenant in such protest,
appeal, or other action. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all personal
property taxes paid by Landlord within 30 days after receipt of xxxxxxxx
accompanied by copies of a xxxx therefor and payments thereof which identify
the
personal property with respect to which such payments are made. Impositions
imposed in respect to the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates
shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not
such
Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Tenant's obligation
to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such
termination.

3.2
Definition
of
Impositions. "Impositions" means, collectively, [i] taxes (including,
without limitation, all capital stock and franchise taxes of Landlord imposed
by
the Facility State or any governmental entity in the Facility State due to
this
lease transaction or Landlord's ownership of the Leased Property and the income
arising therefrom, or due to Landlord being considered as doing business in
the
Facility State because of Landlord's ownership of the Leased Property or lease
thereof to Tenant), all real estate and personal property ad valorem, sales
and
use, business or occupation, single business, gross receipts, commercial
activity, transaction privilege, rent or similar taxes; [ii] assessments
(including, without limitation, all assessments for public improvements or
benefits, whether or not commenced or completed prior to the date hereof and
whether or not to be completed within the Term); [iii] ground rents, water,
sewer or other rents and charges, excises, tax levies, and fees (including,
without limitation, license, permit, inspection, authorization and similar
fees); [iv] all taxes imposed on Tenant's operations of the Leased Property,
including, without limitation, employee withholding taxes, income taxes and
intangible taxes; [v] all taxes imposed by the Facility State or any
governmental entity in the Facility State with respect to the conveyance of
the
Leased Property by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant's designee, including, without
limitation, conveyance taxes, capital gains taxes, and commercial activity
taxes; and [vi] all other governmental charges, in each case whether general
or
special, ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen, of every
character in respect of the Leased Property or any part thereof and/or the
Rent
(including all interest and penalties thereon due to any failure in payment
by
Tenant), which at any time prior to, during or in respect of the Term hereof
may
be assessed or imposed on or in respect of or be a lien upon [a] Landlord or
Landlord's interest in the Leased Property or any part thereof; [b] the Leased
Property or any part thereof or any rent therefrom or any estate, right, title
or interest therein; or [c] any occupancy, operation, use or possession of,
or
sales from, or activity conducted on, or in connection with the Leased Property
or the leasing or use of the Leased Property or any part thereof. Tenant shall
not, however, be required to pay any tax based on net income imposed on Landlord
by any governmental entity other than the capital stock and franchise taxes
described in clause [i] above.
15
3.3
Escrow of Impositions. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the first
day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the Impositions assessed against
the
Leased Property for the preceding tax year for real estate taxes, which sums
shall be used by Landlord toward payment of such real estate taxes. In addition,
if an Event of Default occurs and while it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at
Landlord's election, deposit with Landlord on the first day of each month a
sum
equal to 1/12th of the Impositions assessed against the Leased Property for
the
preceding tax year other than for real estate taxes, which sums shall be used
by
Landlord toward payment of such Impositions. Tenant, on demand, shall pay to
Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the obligations
of
Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this section. The receipt by Landlord
of
the payment of such Impositions by and from Tenant shall only be as an
accommodation to Tenant, the mortgagees, and the taxing authorities, and shall
not be construed as rent or income to Landlord, Landlord serving, if at all,
only as a conduit
for delivery purposes.
3.4
Utilities. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all taxes, assessments,
charges, deposits, and bills for utilities, including, without limitation,
charges for water, gas, oil, sanitary and storm sewer, electricity, telephone
service, and trash collection, which may be charged against the occupant of
the
Improvements during the Term. If an Event of Default occurs and while it remains
uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord's election, deposit with Landlord on the
first day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the amount of the annual
utility expenses for the preceding Lease Year, which sums shall be used by
Landlord to pay such utilities. Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord any
additional amount needed to pay such utilities. Landlord's receipt of such
payments shall only be an accommodation to Tenant and the utility companies
and
shall not constitute rent or income to Landlord. Tenant shall at all times
maintain that amount of heat necessary to ensure against the freezing of water
lines. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any liability or damages to the utility systems and the Leased Property
that may result from Tenant's failure to maintain sufficient heat in the
Improvements.
3.5
Discontinuance of Utilities. Landlord will not be liable for damages to
person or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business for any
discontinuance of utilities nor will such discontinuance in any way be construed
as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release
Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
16
3.6
Business Expenses. Tenant acknowledges that it is solely responsible for
all expenses and costs incurred in connection with the operation of the Facility
on the Leased Property, including, without limitation, employee benefits,
employee vacation and sick pay, consulting fees, and expenses for inventory
and
supplies.
3.7
Permitted Contests. Tenant, on its own or on Landlord's behalf (or in
Landlord's name), but at Tenant's expense, may contest, by appropriate legal
proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or
validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or any Legal
Requirement or insurance requirement or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim provided that [i] in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien,
attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the commencement and
continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from
Landlord and from the Leased Property; [ii] neither the Leased Property nor
any
Rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest therein would be in any
immediate danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost; [iii] in
the case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any immediate danger
of civil or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith pending the
outcome of such proceedings; [iv] in
the event that any such contest shall involve a sum of money or potential loss
in excess of $75,000.00, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and its counsel an
opinion of Tenant's counsel to the effect set forth in clauses [i], [ii] and
[iii], to the extent applicable; [v] in the case of a Legal Requirement and/or
an Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge, Tenant shall give such reasonable
security as may be demanded by Landlord to insure ultimate payment of the same
and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the affected Leased Property or the
Rent by reason of such nonpayment or noncompliance; provided, however, the
provisions of this section shall not be construed to permit Tenant to contest
the payment of Rent (except as to contests concerning the method of computation
or the basis of levy of any Imposition or the basis for the assertion of any
other claim) or any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder; [vi]
in
the case of an insurance requirement, the coverage required by Article 4 shall
be maintained; and [vii] if such contest be finally resolved against Landlord
or
Tenant, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent due hereunder, promptly pay the amount
required to be paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon,
or comply with the applicable Legal Requirement or insurance requirement.
Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall execute and deliver to Tenant such
authorizations and other documents as may be reasonably required in any such
contest, and, if reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so desires,
Landlord shall join as
a party therein.
Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and save Landlord
harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may
be
imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting
therefrom.

connection with each annual policy renewal, deliver to Landlord a

indicating that the Leased Property is insured for its full replacement value.
If Tenant makes any Permitted Alterations (as hereinafter defined) to the Leased
Property, Landlord may have such full replacement value redetermined at any
time
after such Permitted Alterations are made, regardless of when the full
replacement value was last determined.
4.6
Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article 4, Tenant may carry the insurance required by this Article under
a
blanket policy of insurance, provided that the coverage afforded Tenant will
not
be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would exist
under a separate policy meeting all of the requirements of this
Lease.
4.7
No
Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate insurance concurrent
in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Article,
or increase the amounts of any then existing insurance, by securing an
additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable
interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including Landlord and any
mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds or loss payees, the
loss
is payable under said insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under
this Lease, and such additional insurance is not prohibited by the existing
policies of insurance. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the taking
out of such separate insurance or the increasing of any of the amounts of the
existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional
policies.
4.8
Waiver of Subrogation. Each party hereto hereby waives any and every
claim which arises or may arise in its favor and against the other party hereto
during the Term for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property
located within or upon, or constituting a part of the Leased Property, which
loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance policies, to the
extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such policies. Said mutual
waiver shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any
other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss or
damage to property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as the said waivers will
preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or
otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereto
agrees immediately to give each insurance company which has issued to it
policies of insurance, written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers,
and
to have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent
the
invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers, so long
as
such endorsement is available at a reasonable cost.
20
4.9
Mortgages. The following provisions shall apply if Landlord now or
hereafter places a mortgage on the Leased Property or any part thereof: [i]
Tenant shall obtain a standard form of lender's loss payable clause insuring

to
such mortgagee; [iii] loss adjustment shall require the consent of the
mortgagee; and [iv] Tenant shall provide such other information and documents

Tenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend such action,
suit
or proceeding.
5.1.1
Notice of Claim. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any claim or
action brought against Landlord in which indemnity may be sought against Tenant
pursuant to this section. Such notice shall be given in sufficient time to
allow
Tenant to defend or participate in such claim or action, but the failure to
give-such notice in sufficient time shall not constitute a defense hereunder
nor
in any way impair the obligations of Tenant under this section unless the
failure to give such notice precludes Tenant's defense of any such
action.
21
5.1.2
Survival of Covenants. The covenants of Tenant contained in this section
shall remain in full force and effect after the termination of this Lease until
the expiration of the period stated in the applicable statute of limitations

indemnitee or assessed against any portion of the Leased Property by virtue
of
any claim or lien by any governmental or quasi-governmental unit, body, or
agency, or any third party, for cleanup costs or other costs pursuant to any
Environmental Law. Tenant's indemnity shall survive the termination of this
Lease. Provided, however, Tenant shall have no indemnity obligation with respect
to [i] Hazardous Materials first introduced to the Leased Property subsequent
to
the date that Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Property shall have fully
terminated; or [ii] Hazardous Materials introduced to the Leased Property by
Landlord, its agent, employees, successors or assigns. If at any time during
the
Term of this Lease any governmental authority notifies Landlord or Tenant of
a
violation of any Environmental Law or Landlord reasonably believes that a
Facility may violate any Environmental Law, Landlord may require one or more
environmental audits of such portion of the Leased Property, in such form,
scope
and substance as specified by Landlord, at Tenant's expense. Tenant shall,
within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord
for
all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in reviewing any
environmental audit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs.
5.3
Limitation of Landlord's Liability. Except for Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord, its agents, and employees, will

notices or file such documents as may be required to protect Landlord's interest
in the Leased Property against liens. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify,
and hold Landlord harmless from and against any mechanic's liens against the
Leased Property by reason of work, labor, services or materials supplied or
claimed to have been supplied on or to the Leased Property. Tenant shall remove,
bond-off, or otherwise obtain the release of any mechanic's lien filed against
the Leased Property within 10 days after notice of the filing thereof. Tenant
shall pay all expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation,
damages, interest, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

7.4
Replacements of Fixtures and Landlord's Personal Property. Tenant shall
not remove Fixtures and Landlord's Personal Property from the Leased Property
except to replace the Fixtures and Landlord's Personal Property by other similar
items of equal quality and value. Items being replaced by Tenant may be removed
and shall become the property of Tenant and items replacing the same shall
be
and remain the property of Landlord. Tenant shall execute, upon written request
from Landlord, any and all documents necessary to evidence Landlord's ownership
of Landlord's Personal Property and replacements therefor. Tenant may finance
replacements for the Fixtures and Landlord's Personal Property by equipment
lease or by a security agreement and financing statement if [i] Landlord has
consented to the terms and conditions of the equipment lease or security
agreement; and [ii] the equipment lessor or lender has entered into a
nondisturbance agreement with Landlord upon terms and conditions reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, including, without limitation, the following: [a]
Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume such security
agreement or equipment lease upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
this Lease; [b] the equipment lessor or lender shall notify Landlord of any
default by Tenant under the equipment lease or security agreement and give
Landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure such default; and [c] Landlord shall
have the right to assign its rights under the equipment lease, security
agreement, or
nondisturbance
agreement. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from
Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in reviewing
and approving the equipment lease, security agreement, and nondisturbance
agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs.

8.2
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease or
any Lease Document, at Landlord's option, Landlord may exercise any one or
more
of the following remedies:
(a) Landlord
may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property without terminating
this
Lease, and lease the Leased Property for the account of Tenant, holding Tenant
liable for all costs of Landlord in reletting the Leased Property and for the
difference in the amount received by such reletting and the amounts payable
by
Tenant under the Lease.
(b) Landlord
may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, exclude Tenant from
possession of the Leased Property and use efforts to lease the Leased Property
to others, holding Tenant liable for the difference in the amounts received
from
such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease.
(c) Landlord
may re-enter the Leased Property and have, repossess and enjoy the Leased
Property as if this Lease had not been made, and in such event, Tenant and
its
successors and assigns shall remain liable for any contingent or unliquidated
obligations or sums owing at the time of such repossession.
27
(d) Landlord
may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the books and records
and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other returns of Tenant
insofar as they pertain to the Leased Property.
(e) Landlord
may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent hereunder based on the then current Rent
Schedule and Tenant shall be liable for the present value of the aggregate
Rent
for the unexpired term of this Lease assuming the Target Rate of Return,
discounted at an annual rate equal to the then-current U.S. Treasury Note rate
for the closest comparable term, and subject to Landlord's obligations under
law, if any, concerning Tenant's continued possession of the Leased
Property.
(f) [Intentionally
Deleted.]
(g) Landlord
may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or
desirable to collect the Rent and other amounts payable under this Lease then
due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance
of
any obligations, agreements or covenants of Tenant under this
Lease.
(h) With
respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof and Secured Party's security
interest therein, Secured Party may exercise all of its rights as secured party
under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Secured Party may sell the
Collateral by public or private sale upon five days' notice to Tenant or
Subtenant. Tenant and Subtenant agree that a commercially reasonable manner
of
disposition of the Collateral shall include, without limitation and at the
option of Secured Party, a sale of the Collateral, in whole or in part,
concurrently with the sale of the Leased Property.
(i) Secured
Party may obtain control over and collect the Receivables and apply the proceeds
of the collections to satisfaction of the Obligor Group Obligations unless
prohibited by law. Tenant and Subtenant appoint HCN or its designee as attorney
for Tenant and Subtenant, respectively, with powers [i] to receive, to endorse,
to sign and/or to deliver, in Tenant's or Subtenant's name or Secured Party's
name, any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of
money
relating to the Receivables, and to waive demand, presentment, notice of
dishonor, protest, and any other notice with respect to any such instrument;
[ii] to sign Tenant's or Subtenant's name on any invoice or xxxx of lading
relating to any Receivable, drafts against account debtors, assignments and
verifications of Receivables, and notices to account debtors; [iii] to send
verifications of Receivables to any account debtor; and [iv] to do all other
acts and things necessary to carry out this Lease. Secured Party shall not
be
liable for any omissions, commissions, errors of judgment, or mistakes in fact
or law made in the exercise of any such powers. At Secured Party's option,
Tenant and Subtenant shall [i] provide Secured Party a full accounting of all
amounts received on account of Receivables with such frequency and in such
form
as Secured Party may require, either with or without applying all collections
on
Receivables in payment of the Obligor Group Obligations or [ii] deliver to
Secured Party on the day of receipt all such collections in the form received
and duly endorsed by Tenant or Subtenant, as applicable. At Secured Party's
request, Tenant and Subtenant shall institute any action or enter into any
settlement determined by Secured Party to be necessary to obtain recovery or
redress from any account debtor in default of Receivables. Secured Party may
give notice of its security interest in the Receivables to any or all account
debtors with instructions to make all payments on Receivables directly to
Secured Party, thereby terminating Tenant's and Subtenant's authority to collect
Receivables. After terminating Tenant's and Subtenant's authority to enforce
or
collect Receivables, Secured Party shall have the right to take possession
of
any or all Receivables and records thereof and is hereby authorized
to
do so, and only Secured Party shall have the right to collect and enforce the
Receivables. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Tenant's and
Subtenant's cost and expense, but on behalf of Secured Party and for Secured
Party's account, Tenant and Subtenant shall collect or otherwise enforce all
amounts unpaid on Receivables and hold all such collections in trust for Secured
Party, but Tenant and Subtenant may commingle such collections with Tenant's
and
Subtenant's own funds, until Tenant's and Subtenant's authority to do so has
been terminated, which may be done only after an Event of Default.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Secured Party does not assume any
of
Tenant's or Subtenant's obligations under any Receivable, and Secured Party
shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of any of the terms
and
conditions thereof by Tenant or Subtenant.
28
Without
waiving any prior or subsequent Event of Default, Landlord may waive any Event
of Default or, with or without waiving any Event of Default, remedy any
default.
(k) Landlord
may
terminate its obligation, if any, to disburse any Landlord
Payments.
(1)
Landlord may enter and take possession of the Land or any portion thereof and
any one or more Facilities without terminating this Lease and complete
construction and renovation of the Improvements (or any part thereof) and
perform the obligations of Tenant under the Lease Documents. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant hereby
appoints HCN its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to do any of the
following: [i] complete construction, renovation and equipping of the
Improvements in the name of Tenant; [ii] use unadvanced funds remaining under
the Investment Amount, or funds that may be reserved, escrowed, or set aside
for
any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the
Investment Amount, to complete .the Improvements; [iii] make changes in the
plans and specifications that shall be necessary or desirable to complete the
Improvements in substantially the manner contemplated by the plans and
specifications; [iv] retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors,
architects, engineers, and inspectors as shall be required
for said purposes; [v] pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills and claims,
which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims
becoming liens against the Facility or security interest against fixtures or
equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the
construction and equipping of the Improvements or for the clearance of title;
[vi] execute all applications and certificates, in the name of Tenant, that
may
be required in connection with any construction; [vii] do any and every act
that
Tenant might do in its own behalf, to prosecute and defend all actions or
proceedings in connection with the Improvements; and [viii] to execute, deliver
and file all applications and other documents and take any and all actions
necessary to transfer the operations of the Facility to Secured Party or Secured
Party's designee. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest
and
cannot be revoked.
29
(m) Landlord
may apply, with or without notice to Tenant, for the appointment of a receiver
("Receiver") for Tenant or Tenant's business or for the Leased Property. Unless
prohibited by law, such appointment may be made either before or after
termination of Tenant's possession of the Leased Property, without regard to
the
solvency or insolvency of Tenant at the time of application for such Receiver
and without regard to the then value of the Leased Property, and Secured Party
may be appointed as Receiver. During the continuance of an Event of Default,
Landlord shall be entitled to appointment of a receiver as a matter of right
and
without the need to make any showing other than the continuance of an Event
of
Default. The Receiver shall have the power to collect the rents, income, profits
and Receivables of the Leased Property during the pendency of the receivership
and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for
the
protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Leased Property
during the whole of said proceeding. All sums of money received by the Receiver
from such rents and income, after deducting therefrom the reasonable actual
out
of pocket charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with the
collection and disbursement thereof, shall be applied to the payment of the
Rent
or any other monetary obligation of Tenant under this Lease, including, without
limitation, any losses or damages incurred by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant,
if requested to do so, will consent to the appointment of any such Receiver
as
aforesaid.
(n) Landlord
may terminate any management agreement with respect to any of the Leased
Property and shall have the right to retain one or more managers for the Leased
Property at a commercially reasonable costs at the expense of Tenant, such
manager(s) to serve for such term and at such compensation as Landlord
reasonably determines is necessary under the circumstances.
8.3
Right of Setoff. Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant to, at
any time and from time to time without advance notice to Tenant (any such—notice
being expressly waived by Tenant), setoff or recoup and apply any and all sums
held by Landlord, any indebtedness of Landlord to Tenant, and any claims by
Tenant against Landlord, against any obligations of Tenant hereunder and against
any claims by Landlord against Tenant, whether or not such obligations or claims
of Tenant are matured and whether or not Landlord has exercised any other
remedies hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this section are in addition
to
any other rights and remedies Landlord may have against Tenant.
8.4
Performance of Tenant's Covenants. Landlord may perform any obligation of
Tenant which Tenant has failed to perform within 10 days after Landlord has
sent
a written notice to Tenant informing it of its specific failure. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional
Rent, for
any expenditures thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at
Landlord's rate of return as provided in the Commitment.
8.5
Late Payment Charge. Tenant acknowledges that any default in the payment
of any installment of Rent payable hereunder will result in loss and additional
expense to Landlord in servicing any indebtedness of Landlord secured by the
Leased Property, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other
financial obligations, and because such loss and additional expense is extremely
difficult and impractical to ascertain, Tenant agrees that in the event any
Rent
payable to Landlord hereunder is not paid within 10 days after the due date,
Tenant shall pay a late charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue payment as
a
reasonable estimate of such loss and expenses, unless applicable law requires
a
lesser charge, in which event the maximum rate permitted by such law may be
Charged by Landlord. The 10-day grace period set forth in this section shall
not
extend the time for payment of Rent or the period for curing any default or
constitute a waiver of such default.
30
8.6
Default Rent. At Landlord's option at any time after the occurrence of an
Event of Default and while such Event of Default remains uncured, the Base
Rent
payable under this Lease shall be increased to reflect Landlord's rate of return
of the greater of [i] 18.5% per annum
or [ii] 2.5% per
annum
above Landlord's rate of return then in effect ("Default
Rent"); provided, however, that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that any other amounts payable under this Lease are deemed to be interest,
the
Default Rent shall be adjusted to ensure that the aggregate interest payable
under this Lease does not accrue at a rate in excess of the maximum legal
rate.
8.7
Attorneys' Fees. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord's rights under this
Lease, whether or not an Event of Default has actually occurred or has been
declared and thereafter cured, including, without limitation, [i] the reasonable
fees, expenses, and costs of any litigation, appellate, receivership,
administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding; [ii]
reasonable attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and disbursements,
whether in-house counsel or outside counsel; and [iii] the reasonable expenses,
including, without limitation, lodging, meals, and transportation, of Landlord
and its employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses in preparing for litigation,
administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and
attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in connection therewith. All
such reasonable costs, expenses, charges and fees payable by Tenant shall be
deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease.
8.8
Escrows and Application of Payments. As security for the performance of
the Obligor Group Obligations, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right,
title, and interest in and to all monies escrowed with Landlord under this
Lease
and all deposits with utility companies, taxing authorities and insurance
companies; provided, however, that Landlord shall not exercise its rights
hereunder until an Event of Default has occurred. Any payments received by
Landlord under any provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance
of an Event of Default shall be applied to the Obligor Group Obligations in
the
order which Landlord may determine.
8.9
Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Landlord herein are cumulative to
and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.
The use of any one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right
to
use any other remedy.
8.10
Waivers. Tenant waives [i] any objections, defenses, claims or rights
with respect to summary proceedings initiated by Landlord, [ii] any right of
redemption whether pursuant to statute, at law or in equity, [iii] except as
specifically provided hereunder, all presentments, demands for performance,
notices of nonperformance, protest, notices of protest, notices of dishonor,
notices to quit and any other notice or demand of any kind, and [iv] except
as
specifically provided hereunder, all notices of the existence, creation or
incurring of any obligation or advance under this Lease before or after this
date.

ARTICLE
9: DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
9.1
Notice
of Casualty.
If the Leased Property shall be destroyed, in whole or in part,
or
damaged by fire, flood, windstorm or other casualty in excess of $50,000.00
(a
"Casualty"), Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within one
Business Day after the occurrence of the Casualty. Within 15 days after the
occurrence of the Casualty or as soon thereafter as such information is
reasonably available to Tenant, Tenant shall provide the following information
to Landlord: [i] the date of the Casualty; [ii] the nature of the Casualty;
[iii] a description of the damage or destruction caused by the Casualty,
including the type of Leased Property damaged and the area of the Improvements
damaged; [iv] a preliminary estimate of the cost to repair, rebuild, restore
or
replace the Leased Property; [v] a preliminary estimate of the schedule to
complete the repair, rebuilding, restoration or replacement of the Leased
Property; [vi] a description of the anticipated property insurance claim,
including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible
amount, the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date; and
[vii] a description of the business interruption claim, including the name
of
the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected
settlement amount, and the expected settlement date. Within five days after
request from Landlord, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all
correspondence to the insurer and any other information reasonably requested
by
Landlord.
9.2
Substantial Destruction.
9.2.1
If
any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed at any time other than
during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant
shall
promptly rebuild and restore such Improvements in accordance with §9.4 and
Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such
restoration. The term "substantially destroyed" means any casualty resulting
in
the loss of use of 50% or more of the licensed beds at any one
Facility.
9.2.2
If
any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18
months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Landlord may elect to terminate
this Lease with respect to the entire Leased Property or terminate this Lease
and all Affiliate Leases, at Landlord's option, and retain the insurance
proceeds unless Tenant exercises its option to renew as set forth in §9.2.3 or
exercises its option to purchase as set forth in §9.2.4. If Landlord elects to
terminate, Landlord shall give notice ("Termination Notice") of its election
to
terminate this Lease (or this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, if elected by
Landlord) within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice of the damage. If
Tenant does not exercise its option to renew under §9.2.3 or its option to
purchase under §9.2.4 within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice,
this Lease (or this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, if elected by Landlord)
shall terminate on the 15th day after delivery of the Termination Notice. If
this Lease (or this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, if elected by Landlord)
is
so terminated, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other
obligations accrued under this Lease through the effective date of termination
and each Affiliate shall be liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other
obligations accrued under its respective Affiliate Lease through the effective
date of termination.
32
9.2.3
If
any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18
months of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term and Landlord gives the
Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease with
respect to the entire Leased Property (but not any part thereof). Tenant shall
give Landlord irrevocable notice of Tenant's election to renew, and each
Affiliate Tenant shall give irrevocable notice of renewal, within 15 days after
delivery of the Termination Notice. If Tenant and each Affiliate Tenant elect
to
renew, the Renewal Term will be in effect for the balance of the then current
Term plus a 10-year period. The Renewal Term will commence on the third day
following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's and each Affiliate Tenant's notice
of
renewal. All other terms of this Lease for the Renewal Term shall be in
accordance with Article 12. The Improvements will be restored by Tenant in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 regarding partial
destruction.
9.2.4
If
any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18
months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and Landlord gives the
Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to purchase the entire Leased
Property (but not any part thereof). Tenant shall give Landlord notice of
Tenant's election to purchase, and if required by Landlord, each Affiliate
Tenant shall give notice of its election to purchase its respective Affiliate
Facility, within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice. If Tenant
and
each Affiliate Tenant elect to purchase their respective Leased Property, the
Option Price will be determined in accordance with § 13.2 and the Fair Market
Value will be determined in accordance with § 13.3 except as otherwise provided
in this section. For purposes of determining the Fair Market Value, the Leased
Property will be valued as if it had been restored to be equal in value to
the
Leased Property existing immediately prior to the occurrence of the damage.
All
other terms of the option to purchase shall be in accordance with Article 13.
Landlord shall hold the insurance proceeds until the closing of the purchase
of
the Leased Property and at closing shall deliver the proceeds to
Tenant.
9.3
Partial Destruction. If any Facility's Improvements are not substantially
destroyed, then Tenant shall comply with the provisions of §9.4 and Landlord
shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such
restoration.
9.4
Restoration. Tenant shall promptly repair, rebuild, or restore the
damaged Leased Property, at Tenant's expense, so as to make the
Leased
Property at least equal in value to the Leased Property existing immediately
prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar
to it
in character as is practicable and reasonable. Before beginning such repairs
or
rebuilding, or letting any contracts in connection with such repairs or
rebuilding, Tenant will submit for Landlord's approval, which approval Landlord
will not unreasonably withhold or delay, plans and specifications meeting the
requirements of § 16.2 for such repairs or rebuilding. Promptly after receiving
Landlord's approval of the plans and specifications and receiving the proceeds
of insurance, Tenant will begin such repairs or rebuilding and will prosecute
the repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however,
to
strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, and other
causes beyond Tenant's reasonable control. Landlord will make available to
Tenant the net proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance paid to Landlord
for such repair or rebuilding as the same progresses, after deduction of any
costs of collection, including reasonable out of pocket attorneys' fees.
Payments will be made against properly certified vouchers of a competent
architect in charge of the work and approved by Landlord. Payments for deposits
for the repairing or rebuilding or delivery of materials to the Facility will
be
made upon Landlord's receipt of evidence satisfactory to Landlord that such
payments are required in advance. Prior to commencing the repairing or
rebuilding, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord's approval a schedule
setting forth the estimated monthly draws for such work. Landlord will
contribute to such payments out of the insurance proceeds an amount equal to
the
proportion that the total net amount received by Landlord from insurers bears
to
the total estimated cost of the rebuilding or repairing, multiplied by the
payment by Tenant on account of such work. Landlord may, however, withhold
10%
from each payment until the work is completed and proof has been furnished
to
Landlord that no lien or liability has attached or will attach to the Leased
Property or to Landlord in connection with such repairing or rebuilding. Upon
the completion of rebuilding and the furnishing of such proof, the balance
of
the net proceeds of such insurance payable to Tenant on account of such
repairing or rebuilding will be paid to Tenant. Tenant will obtain and deliver
to Landlord a temporary or final certificate of occupancy before the damaged
Leased Property is reoccupied for any purpose. Tenant shall complete such
repairs or rebuilding free and clear of mechanic's or other liens, and in
accordance with the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances,
regulations, or orders of any state, municipal, or other public authority
affecting the repairs or rebuilding, and also in accordance with all
requirements of the insurance rating organization, or similar body. Any
remaining proceeds of insurance after such restoration will be Tenant's
property.
33
9.5
Insufficient Proceeds. If the proceeds of any insurance settlement are
not sufficient to pay the costs of Tenant's repair, rebuilding or restoration
under §9.4 in full, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord at Landlord's option, and
within 10 days of Landlord's request, an amount sufficient in Landlord's
reasonable judgment to complete such repair, rebuilding or restoration. Tenant
shall not, by reason of the deposit or payment, be entitled to any reimbursement
from Landlord or diminution in or postponement of the payment of the
Rent.
9.6
Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or equity to

10: CONDEMNATION
10.1
Total Taking. If, by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by
conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right
("Taking"), any entire Facility Property is taken, or so much of any Facility
Property is taken that the Facility Property cannot be used by Tenant for the
purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then this Lease
will end with respect to such Facility Property only on the earlier of the
vesting of title to the Facility Property in the condemning authority or the
taking of possession of the Facility Property by the condemning authority.
Upon
such termination, the Investment Amount shall be reduced by the actual net
award
for such Taking received by Landlord and Rent hereunder shall be reduced
accordingly unless there is only one Facility Property subject to this Lease
at
the time of the Taking in which case the Lease will terminate. The termination
of this Lease as to one Facility Property due to a taking is the result of
circumstances beyond the control of Landlord and Tenant and the parties affirm
that, except for such specific isolated situation, this Lease is intended to be
a single indivisible lease. All damages awarded for such Taking under the power
of eminent domain shall be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall
be awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or the
fee
of the Facility Property.
10.2
Partial Taking. If, after a Taking, so much of the Facility Property
remains that the Facility Property can be used for substantially the same
purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then [i] this
Lease will end as
to the part
taken on the earlier of the vesting of title to such
Leased Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of
such
Leased Property by the condemning authority and the Rent will be adjusted
accordingly; [ii] at its cost, Tenant shall restore so much of the Facility
Property as remains to a sound architectural unit substantially suitable for
the
purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, using good
workmanship and new, first-class materials; [iii] upon completion of the
restoration, Landlord will pay Tenant the lesser of the net award made to
Landlord on the account of the Taking (after deducting from the total award,
attorneys', appraisers', and other fees and costs incurred in connection with
the obtaining of the award and amounts paid to the holders of mortgages secured
by the Facility Property), or Tenant's actual out-of-pocket costs of restoring
the Facility Property; and [iv] Landlord shall be entitled to the balance of
the
net award. The restoration shall be completed in accordance with §§9.4, 9.5,
9.7, 9.8 and 9.9 with such provisions deemed to apply to condemnation instead
of
casualty.
35
10.3
Condemnation Proceeds Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything in this
Lease or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the condemnation award paid
to Landlord shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to
dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 10. Tenant expressly
assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment, or value,
of the Leased Property from any Condemnation.

Tenant's Property. For equipment loans or leases for equipment having an
original cost in excess of $50,000.00, Tenant shall cause such equipment lessor

Option to Purchase. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to
purchase ("Option to Purchase") all of the Leased Property (but not any part
thereof except as specifically permitted herein) in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Article 13. Tenant may exercise its Option to
Purchase only by giving an irrevocable notice of Tenant's election to purchase
the Leased Property ("Purchase Notice") in accordance with the

(a) During
the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant and each Affiliate Tenant (if

Tenant if required by Landlord) must give a Purchase Notice within 15 days
after
Landlord gives the Termination Notice pursuant to §9.2.4.
(c) If
any
Facility Property is taken during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or
any

in
response to the threat of the exercise of such right, Tenant must give a
Purchase Notice within 30 days after delivery of the notice of Landlord's intent

with the terms of this Article 13.
38
13.2
Option Price. The option price ("Option Price") will be an amount equal
to the sum of [a] the Investment Amount plus [b] 50% of the amount by which
the
Fair Market Value at the time of the option exercise exceeds the sum of the
Investment Amount and the Loan Amount. In addition to the Option Price, Tenant
shall pay all reasonable closing costs and expenses in connection with the
transfer of the Leased Property to Tenant, including, but not limited to, the
following: [a] real property conveyance or transfer fees or deed stamps;
[b] reasonable
title search fees, title insurance commitment fees, and title insurance
premiums; [c] reasonable
survey fees; [d] reasonable environmental assessment fees; [e] recording fees;
[f] reasonable attorneys' fees of Landlord's counsel; and [g] reasonable fees
of
any escrow agent. Tenant shall also pay all reasonable amounts, costs, expenses,
charges, Rent and other items payable by Tenant to Landlord, including, but
not
limited to, enforcement costs as set forth in §8.7.
13.3
Fair Market Value. The fair market value (the "Fair Market Value") of the
Leased Property shall be determined as follows.
13.3.1
The parties shall attempt to determine the Fair Market Value by mutual agreement
within 15 days after giving the Purchase Notice. However, if the parties do
not
agree on the Fair Market Value within such 15-day period, the following
provisions shall apply.
13.3.2
Landlord and Tenant shall each give the other party notice of the name of an
acceptable appraiser 15 days after giving of the Purchase Notice. The two
appraisers will then select a third appraiser within an additional five days.
Each appraiser must demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of both Landlord
and Tenant that it has significant experience in appraising properties similar
to the Leased Property. Within five days after designation, each appraiser
shall
submit a resume to Landlord and Tenant setting forth such appraiser's
qualifications, including education and experience with similar properties.
A
notice of objections to the qualifications of any appraiser shall be given
within 10 days after receipt of such resume. If a party fails to timely object
to the qualifications of an appraiser, then the appraiser shall be conclusively
deemed satisfactory. If a party gives a timely notice of objection to the
qualifications of an appraiser, then the disqualified appraiser shall be
replaced by an appraiser selected by the qualified appraisers or, if all
appraisers are disqualified, then by an appraiser selected by a commercial
arbitrator acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.
13.3.3
The Fair Market Value shall be determined by the appraisers within 60 days
thereafter as follows. Each of the appraisers shall be instructed to prepare
an
appraisal of the Leased Property in accordance with the following
instructions:
The
Leased Property is to be valued upon the three conventional approaches to
estimate value known as the Income, Sales Comparison and Cost Approaches. Once
the approaches are completed, the appraiser correlates the individual approaches
into a final value conclusion.
39
The
three
approaches to estimate value are summarized as follows:
Income
Approach: This valuation approach recognizes that the value of the
operating tangible and intangible assets can be represented by the expected
economic viability of the business giving returns on and of the
assets.
Sales
Comparison Approach: This valuation approach is based upon the
principle of substitution. When a facility is replaceable in the market, the
market approach assumes that value tends to be set at the price of acquiring
an
equally desirable substitute facility. Since healthcare market conditions change
and frequently are subject to regulatory and financing environments, adjustments
need to be considered. These adjustments also consider the operating differences
such as services and demographics.
Cost
Approach: This valuation approach estimates the value of the tangible
assets only. Value is represented by the market value of the land plus the
depreciated reproduction cost of all improvements and equipment.
In
general, the Income and Sales Comparison Approaches are considered the best
representation of value because they cover both tangibles and intangible assets,
consider the operating characteristics of the business and have the most
significant influence on attracting potential investors.
The
appraised values submitted by the three appraisers shall be ranked from highest
value to middle value to lowest value, the appraised value (highest or lowest)
which is furthest from the middle appraised value shall be discarded, and the
remaining two appraised values shall be averaged to arrive at the Fair Market
Value.
13.3.4
In
the event of any condemnation, similar taking or threat thereof with respect
to
any part of the Leased Property or any insured or partially insured casualty
loss to any part of the Leased Property after Tenant has exercised an Option
to
Purchase, but before settlement, the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property
shall be redetermined as provided in this §13.3 to give effect to such
condemnation, taking or loss and shall take into account all available
condemnation awards and insurance proceeds.
13.3.5
Tenant shall pay, or reimburse Landlord for, all costs and expenses in
connection with the appraisals.
13.4
Closing. The purchase of the Leased Property by Tenant shall close on a
date agreed to by Landlord and Tenant which shall be not less than 60 days
after
Landlord's receipt of the Purchase Notice and not more than 60 days after the
Fair Market Value of the Leased Property has been determined. At the closing,
Tenant shall pay the Option Price and all amounts payable under § 13.2 in
immediately available funds and Landlord shall convey title to the Leased
Property to Tenant by a transferable and recordable limited warranty deed and
limited warranty xxxx of sale.
40
13.5
Failure to Close Option. If Tenant for any reason fails to purchase the
Leased Property after Tenant has given the Purchase Notice, then Tenant shall
pay Landlord all costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord as a result
of
the failure to close, including costs of unwinding swap transactions or other
interest rate protection devices and preparing for the closing. Tenant shall
continue to be obligated as lessee hereunder for the remainder of the
Term.
13.6
Failure to Exercise Option to Purchase and Renewal Option. If Tenant for
any reason does not exercise its Option to Purchase or Renewal Option in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease before the expiration
of
the then current Term, Tenant shall be deemed to have forfeited all of Tenant's
rights to exercise the Option to Purchase and Renewal Option.
13.7
Early Option to Purchase Dayton Facility. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained in this Article 13, Tenant may exercise the Option
to
Purchase the Dayton Facility prior to the end of the Lease Term ("Early Option")
subject to the same terms and conditions of this Article 13 except that [i]
the
required Purchase Notice may be given at any time during the first 21 months
of
the Lease Term; [ii] at the time that the Purchase Notice is given or in no
event later than 18 months after the Lease Term begins, Tenant shall deliver
to
Landlord a signed letter of intent from an unaffiliated third party to purchase
the Dayton Facility from Tenant ("Third-Party Sale"); [iii] prior to the closing
of the Early Option, Tenant shall add to this Lease a facility or facilities
(collectively called "Substitute Facility") with an acquisition price greater
than $10,100,000.00 at the then current rate of return to Landlord; [iv] the
Option Price shall be the Investment Amount allocated to the Dayton Facility
(as
set forth in Landlord's books and records) plus 50% of the positive difference
between the Fair Market Value for the Dayton Facility and the sum of the
Investment Amount allocated to the Dayton Facility and 29.8% of the Loan Amount;
[v] at the time the Purchase Notice for the Early Option is given, no Event
of
Default has occurred and is continuing; [vi] the purchase of the Dayton Property
shall close on a date agreed to by Landlord and Tenant which shall be not later
than 90 days after Landlord's receipt of the Purchase Notice; and [vii] Tenant
shall make a prepayment of the Loan as set forth in § 13.8. The addition of the
Substitute Facility will be conditioned upon [a]
satisfaction of Landlord's ordinary and customary due diligence and
underwriting, and [b] Tenant's
payment all of Landlord's closing costs for the acquisition of the Substitute
Facility and amendment of this Lease.
13.8
Partial Prepayment of Loan. Tenant's right to close on the purchase of
the Early Option is expressly conditioned upon Tenant making a partial
prepayment of the Loan equal to Tenant's proceeds from the Third-Party Sale
after payment of reasonable closing costs approved by HCN.

acceptable to Landlord, in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the
Permitted Alterations, guaranteeing the completion of the work free and clear
of
liens and in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications, and naming
Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord as joint obligees on such
bond.
(e) Tenant
shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain a builder's completed value risk policy
of
insurance insuring against all risks of physical loss, including collapse and
transit coverage, in a nonreporting form, covering the total value of the work

not later than 30 days after Landlord sends an invoice, reimburse Landlord
for
any reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and architects'
and
engineers' fees, incurred in connection with reviewing and approving the
Permitted Alterations and ensuring Tenant's compliance with the requirements
of
this section. The daily fee for Landlord's consulting engineer is
$750.00.
16.5
Ownership and Removal of Permitted Alterations. The Permitted Alterations
shall become a part of the Leased Property, owned by Landlord, and leased to
Tenant subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall not
be
required or permitted to remove any Permitted Alterations.
16.6
Minimum Qualified Capital Expenditures. During each calendar year of the
Term, Tenant shall expend or escrow at least $400.00 per unit for Qualified
Capital Expenditures to improve the Facilities (provided that as to any Facility
with respect to which a certificate of occupancy was not issued prior to the
end
of the first calendar year, the minimum qualified capital expenditures required
by this section shall be waived until the calendar year immediately following
the year in which such certificate of occupancy is issued). Thereafter
throughout the Term, Tenant shall expend or escrow such minimum amount each
calendar year, increased annually in proportion to increases in the CPI. Within
60 days after the end of each fiscal year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
a
certificate in the form of Exhibit G listing the Qualified Capital Expenditures
made in the prior year. If the entire minimum amount was not expended in such
year, the certificate will include certification that the balance of the current
minimum amount has been deposited in a reserve account to be used solely for
Qualified Capital Expenditures for the Facilities. At least annually, at the
request of Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall review capital expenditures
budgets and agree on modifications, if any, required by changed circumstances
and the changed conditions of the Leased Property.

Signs. Tenant may, at its own expense, erect and maintain identification
signs at the Leased Property, provided such signs comply with all laws,

restore the Leased Property to its original condition.

17: RESERVED
ARTICLE
18: ASSIGNMENT AND SALE OF LEASED PROPERTY
18.1
Prohibition on Assignment and Subletting. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord has entered into this Lease in reliance on the personal services and
business expertise of Tenant. Except as provided in
§
18.1.1, Tenant
may not assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, grant a
right of first refusal or transfer any interest in this Lease, or in the Leased
Property, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. The following
transactions will be deemed an assignment or sublease requiring Landlord's
prior
written consent: [i] an assignment by operation of law; [ii] an imposition
(whether or not consensual) of a lien, mortgage, or encumbrance upon Tenant's
interest in the Lease; [iii] an arrangement (including, but not limited to,
management agreements, concessions, licenses, and easements) which allows the
use or occupancy of all or part of the Leased Property by anyone other than
Tenant; and [iv] a change of ownership of Tenant. Landlord's consent to any
assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will not release Tenant (or
any
guarantor) from its payment and performance obligations under this Lease, but
rather Tenant, any guarantor, and Tenant's assignee or sublessee will be jointly
and severally liable for such payment and performance. Except as provided in
§18.1.1, an assignment, right of first refusal or sublease without the prior
written consent of Landlord will be void at Landlord's option. Landlord's
consent to one assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will not waive
the
requirement of its consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may enter into a Sublease with each
Subtenant for each Facility provided that each Sublease complies with §
18.2.
49
18.1.1
Notwithstanding § 18.1 or other terms of this Lease or the Lease Documents to
the contrary, [i] Tenant may [a] sublease a portion of the Facility not
exceeding 5% of the square footage of any building for resident services such
as
a beauty salon; and [ii] Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition
or
delay its consent to an assignment or sublease to an Affiliate provided that
such assignee or sublessee assumes Tenant's obligations under this Lease and
the
requirements of this Article are satisfied. Any subleases entered into pursuant
to clause [i] above may not extend beyond the Term of this Lease without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
18.2
Requests for Landlord's Consent to Assignment, Sublease or Management
Agreement. If Tenant is required to obtain Landlord's consent to a
specific assignment, sublease, or management agreement, Tenant shall give
Landlord [i] the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or
manager; [ii] a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or management
agreement; [iii] reasonably satisfactory information about the nature, business
and business history of the proposed assignee, subtenant, or manager and its
proposed use of the Leased Property; and [iv] banking, financial, and other
credit inforthation, and references about the proposed assignee, subtenant
or
manager sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility
and character of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager. Any assignment,
sublease or management agreement shall contain provisions to the effect that
[a]
such assignment, sublease or management agreement is subject and subordinate
to
all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord
and
that the assignee, subtenant or manager shall comply with all applicable
provisions of this Lease; [b] such assignment, sublease or management agreement
may not be modified without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; [c] if this Lease shall terminate before
the
expiration of such assignment, sublease or management agreement, the assignee,
subtenant or manager thereunder will, solely at Landlord's option and only
upon
the express written notice of attomment from Landlord, attom to Landlord and
waive any right the assignee, subtenant or manager may have to terminate the
assignment, sublease or management agreement or surrender possession thereunder
as a result of the termination of this Lease; and [d] if the assignee, subtenant
or manager receives a written notice from Landlord stating that Tenant is in
default under this Lease, the assignee, subtenant or manager shall thereafter
pay all rentals or payments under the assignment, sublease or management
agreement directly to Landlord until such default has been cured. Any attempt
or
offer by an assignee, subtenant or manager to attorn to Landlord shall not
be
binding or effective without the express written consent of Landlord. Tenant
hereby collaterally assigns to Landlord, as security for the performance of
its
obligations hereunder, all of Tenant's right, title, and interest in and to
any
assignment, sublease or management agreement noW or hereafter existing for
all
or part of the Leased Property. Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord,
execute such other instruments or documents as Landlord may request to evidence
this collateral assignment. If Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion,
consents to such assignment, sublease, or management agreement, such consent
shall not be effective until [i] a fully executed copy of the instrument of
assignment, sublease or management agreement has been delivered to Landlord;
[ii] in the case of an assignment, Landlord has received a written instrument
in
which the assignee has assumed and agreed to perform all of Tenant's obligations
under the Lease; and [iii] Tenant has paid to Landlord a fee in the amount
of
$2,500.00 (applies only to consent requests after the Closing); and [iv]
Landlord has received reimbursement from Tenant or the assignee for all
attorneys' fees and expenses and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with determining whether to give its consent, giving
its
consent and all matters relating to the assignment (applies only to consent
requests after the Closing).
50
18.3
Agreements with Residents. Notwithstanding §18.1, Tenant and Subtenant
may enter into an occupancy agreement with residents of the Leased Property
without the prior written consent of Landlord provided that [i] the agreement
does not provide for lifecare services; [ii] the agreement does not contain
any
type of rate lock provision or rate guaranty for more than one calendar year;
[iii] the agreement does not provide for any rent reduction or waiver other
than
for an introductory period not to exceed six months; [iv] Tenant and Subtenant
may not collect rent for more than one month in advance; and [v] all residents
of the Leased Property are accurately shown in accounting records for the
Facility. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant and Subtenant
shall not change the form of resident occupancy agreement that was submitted
to
Landlord prior to the Effective Date.
18.4
Sale of Leased Property. If Landlord or any subsequent owner of the
Leased Property sells the Leased Property, its liability for the performance
of
its agreements in this Lease will end on the date of the sale of the Leased
Property, and Tenant will look solely to the purchaser for the performance
of
those agreements. For purposes of this section, any holder of a mortgage or
security agreement which affects the Leased Property at any time, and any
landlord under any lease to which this Lease is subordinate at any time, will
be
a subsequent owner of the Leased Property when it succeeds to the interest
of
Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Leased Property.
18.5
Assignment by Landlord. Landlord may transfer, assign, mortgage,
collaterally assign, or otherwise dispose of Landlord's interest in this Lease
or the Leased Property. Landlord shall not assign the Loan separate from the
Lease except for an assignment to a Landlord Affiliate.
ARTICLE
19: HOLDOVER AND SURRENDER
19.1
Holding Over. If Tenant, with or without the express or implied consent
of Landlord, continues to hold and occupy the Leased Property (or any part
thereof) after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease
(other than pursuant to Tenant's purchase of the Leased Property), such holding
over beyond the Term and the acceptance or collection of Rent in the amount
specified below by Landlord shall operate and be construed as creating a tenancy
from month to month and not for any other term whatsoever. Said month-to-month
tenancy may be terminated by Landlord by giving Tenant five days' written
notice, and at any time thereafter Landlord may re-enter and take possession
of
the Leased Property. If Tenant continues after the expiration of the Term or
earlier termination of this Lease to hold and occupy the Leased Property whether
as a month-to-month tenant or a tenant at sufferance or otherwise, Tenant shall
pay [i] Default Rent for each month, plus [ii] all Additional Rent accruing
during the month, plus [iii] any and all other sums payable by Tenant pursuant
to this Lease. During any continued tenancy after the expiration of the Term
or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to perform and
observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall
have
no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by applicable
law,
to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property until the tenancy
is
terminated. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express
or
implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
51
19.2
Surrender. Except for [i] Permitted Alterations; [ii] normal and
reasonable wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Tenant to maintain the
Leased Property in good order and repair during the Term); and [iii] damage
and
destruction not required to be repaired by Tenant, Tenant shall surrender and
deliver up the Leased Property at the expiration or termination of the Term
in
as good order and condition as of the Commencement Date.
ARTICLE
20: LETTER OF CREDIT
20.1
Terms of Letter of Credit. If required under the Commitment, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with the Letter of Credit at the Closing. Tenant shall maintain
the Letter of Credit in favor of Landlord until the Obligor Group Obligations
are performed in full. The Letter of Credit shall permit partial and full draws
and shall permit drawing upon presentation of a draft drawn on the Issuer and
a
certificate signed by Landlord stating that an Event of Default has occurred
under this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall be for an initial term of one
year
and shall be automatically renewed annually for successive terms of at least
one
year unless Landlord receives notice from the Issuer, by certified mail, at
least 60 days prior to the expiry date then in effect that the Letter of Credit
will not be extended for an additional one-year period.
20.2
Replacement Letter of Credit. Tenant shall provide a replacement Letter
of Credit which satisfies the requirements of §20.1 from an Issuer acceptable to
Landlord within 30 days after the occurrence of any of the following: [i]
Landlord's receipt of notice from the Issuer that the Letter of Credit will
not
be extended for an additional one-year period; [ii] Landlord gives notice to
Tenant that the Lace Financial Service Rating (or rating of a comparable rating
service) of the Issuer is less than a "C+" (or the comparable rating of such
other rating service); [iii] Landlord gives notice to Tenant of the admission
by
Issuer in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, or Issuer's filing of a petition in bankruptcy or petitions to take
advantage of any insolvency act, making an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, consenting to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the
whole
or any substantial part of its property, or filing a petition or answer seeking
reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other
applicable law, regulation, or statute of the United States of America or any
state thereof or [iv] Issuer is at any time determined not to be at least
"adequately capitalized", as that term is defined and used in the "Prompt
Corrective Action" statute, 12 U.S.C. §1831, and implementing regulations.
Tenant's failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall be an
immediate Event of Default without any notice (other than as provided for in
this section), cure or grace period. Upon such Event of Default, Landlord shall
be entitled to draw Upon the Letter of Credit and Landlord may, solely at its
option and without any obligation to do so, require Tenant to obtain a
replacement Letter of Credit satisfactory to Landlord with the Letter of Credit
proceeds made available to Tenant solely to secure Tenant's reimbursement
obligation for the replacement Letter of Credit.
52
20.3
Draws. Landlord may draw under the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default hereunder. Any such draw shall not cure an Event of
Default. The proceeds from the Letter of Credit ("LC Proceeds") shall be the
sole property of Landlord and may be used, retained and invested by Landlord
without restriction or limitation. Landlord shall have no obligation to account
for its use of the LC Proceeds and Tenant shall have no interest in or claim
against the LC Proceeds. Landlord shall have the right and option, but not
the
obligation, to apply all or any portion of the LC Proceeds to pay all or any
portion of [i] the Obligor Group Obligations; plus [ii] all reasonable expenses
and costs incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord's rights
under this Lease or any security for the Obligor Group Obligations, including,
without limitation, [a] the fees, expenses, and costs of any litigation,
appellate, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency, or other
similar proceeding; [b] attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and
disbursements; and [c] the expenses, including, without limitation, lodging,

in
connection therewith.
20.4
Partial Draws. Upon the occurrence of a monetary Event of Default under
the Obligor Group Obligations, Landlord may, at its option, make a partial
draw
on the Letter of Credit in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Obligor
Group Obligations then past due. If Landlord then applies the proceeds from
such
partial draw on the Letter of Credit to payment of all or any portion of the
Obligor Group Obligations then past due, Tenant shall, within 10 days after
notice from Landlord of such partial draw and payment, cause the amount of
the
Letter of Credit to be reinstated to the amount in effect prior to such partial
draw. Tenant's failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall
be
an immediate Event of Default under the Lease Documents without any notice
(other than as provided for in this section), cure or grace period. Landlord's
rights under this §20.4 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, Landlord's
rights under §20.3.
20.5
Substitute Letter of Credit. Tenant may, from time to time, deliver to
Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Lease
and issued by an Issuer acceptable to Landlord. Upon Landlord's approval of
the
substitute Letter of Credit, Landlord shall release the previous Letter of
Credit to Tenant.
20.6
Retention of Letter of Credit. Upon termination of this Lease due to
expiration of the Term, pursuant to an Event of Default or for any reason other
than Tenant's purchase of the Leased Property, Landlord shall be entitled to
hold the Letter of Credit until the Obligor Group Obligations are performed
in
full or are released by Landlord.

ARTICLE
21: QUIET ENJOYMENT, SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND
ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES
21.1
Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant performs all of its obligations under
this Lease, Tenant's possession of the Leased Property will not be disturbed
by
Landlord or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord.
21.2
Subordination. Subject to the terms and conditions of this section, this
Lease and Tenant's rights under this Lease are subordinate to any ground lease
or underlying lease, first mortgage, first deed of trust, or other first lien
against the Leased Property, together with any renewal, consolidation,
extension, modification or replacement thereof, which now or at any subsequent
time affects the Leased Property or any interest of Landlord in the Leased
Property, except to the extent that any such instrument expressly provides
that
this Lease is superior. The foregoing subordination provision is expressly
conditioned upon any lessor or mortgagee being obligated and bound to recognize
Tenant as the tenant under this Lease, and such lessor or mortgagee shall have
no right to disturb Tenant's possession, use and occupancy of the Leased
Property or Tenant's enjoyment of its rights under this Lease unless and until
an Event of Default occurs hereunder. Any foreclosure action or proceeding
by
any mortgagee with respect to the Leased Property shall not affect Tenant's
rights under this Lease and shall not terminate this Lease unless and until
an
Event of Default occurs hereunder. The foregoing provisions will be
self-operative, and no further instrument will be required in order to effect
them. However, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at
any
time and from time to time upon demand by Landlord, such documents as may be
requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other
instrument described in this section, to confirm or effect any such
subordination, provided that any such document shall include a nondisturbance
provision as set forth in this section satisfactory to Tenant. Any mortgagee
of
the Leased Property shall be deemed to be bound by the nondisturbance provision
set forth in this section. If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge,
and deliver any such document within 20 days after written demand, Tenant shall
be deemed to have affirmed that this Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder are
subordinate to any ground lease or underlying lease, first mortgage, first

of this Lease if Tenant finds such modification acceptable and Landlord will
pay
Tenant's reasonable attorney's fees for reviewing such amendment.
24.13
No Merger. The surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the cancellation of
