This
"Master Lease" is entered into as of October 2, 2006, between
NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC., a Maryland corporation
("Landlord"), and SUMMERVILLE
AT CAMELOT PLACE LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company, SUMMERVILLE AT XXXXXX
VALE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and SUMMERVILLE
AT LAKEVIEW LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively,
"Tenant"), for the respective real properties and improvements
thereon (each a "Facility" and collectively, the
"Facilities") as set forth on Schedule 1 and as legally
described on Exhibit
A and the "Landlord Personal Property"
associated therewith as described in Exhibit
B (collectively, the "Premises"), each
used as a licensed healthcare facility of the type described on Schedule
2
(individually as so utilized, and collectively, the
"Business"). Pursuant to its concurrent Amended and
Restated Guaranty of Lease, Summerville Senior Living, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Guarantor") has guaranteed Tenant's obligations
hereunder. In consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements
set forth herein, Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant for the Term
upon the terms and conditions provided below. Certain capitalized terms used
in
this Master Lease are defined on Exhibit
E.
RECOGNITION
OF MASTER LEASE;
IRREVOCABLE
WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS
Tenant
and Landlord each acknowledge and agree that this Master Lease constitutes
a
single, indivisible lease of the entire Premises, and the Premises constitute
a
single economic unit. The Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, other amounts payable
hereunder and all other provisions contained herein have been negotiated
and
agreed upon based on the intent to lease the entirety of the Premises as
a
single and inseparable transaction, and such Minimum Rent, Additional Rent,
other amounts and other provisions would have been materially different had
the
parties intended to enter into separate leases or a divisible lease. Any
Event
of Default under this Master Lease shall constitute an Event of Default as
to
the entire Premises.
Each
of the entities comprising Tenant
and Guarantor, in order to induce Landlord to enter into this Master Lease, to the
extent
permitted by law:
A. Agrees,
acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the contrary that
the
statements set forth in the first sentence of this Section are true, correct
and
complete;
B. Agrees,
acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the contrary that
this
Master Lease is a new and de novo lease, separate and distinct from any other
lease between any of the entities comprising Tenant and any of the entities
comprising Landlord that may have existed prior to the date hereof;
C. Agrees,
acknowledges and is
forever estopped from
asserting to the contrary that this Master Lease is
a single lease pursuant to which the collective Premises are demised as a
whole
to Tenant;
D. Agrees,
acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the contrary that
if,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, this Master Lease were to
be
determined or found to be in any proceeding, action or arbitration under
state
or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, debtor-relief or other applicable laws
to
constitute multiple leases demising multiple properties, such multiple leases
could not, by the debtor, trustee, or any other party, be selectively or
individually assumed, rejected or assigned;
1
E. Forever
knowingly waives and relinquishes any and all rights under or benefits
of
the
provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code Section 365 (11 U.S.C. § 365), or any
successor or replacement thereof or any analogous state law, to selectively
or
individually assume, reject or assign the multiple leases comprising this
Master
Lease following a determination or finding in the nature of that described
in
the foregoing Section D.
1. Term.
The "Term" of this Master Lease is the Initial Term
plus all Renewal Terms, and a "Lease Year" is the
twelve (12)
month period commencing on October 1 of each year of the
Term; provided, however that the first Lease Year shall commence on October
2,
2006 and end on September 30, 2007. The "Initial Term"
commences on October 2, 2006 (the "Effective Date")
and ends on September 30, 2016, and
may be extended for two (2)
separate "Renewal Terms" of ten (10) years each if:
(a) at least twelve (12), but not more than fifteen (15)
months prior to the end of the then current Term, Tenant delivers to
Landlord a "Renewal Notice" that it desires to exercise its
right to extend this Master Lease for one (1) Renewal Term; (b) there is
no
Event of Default on the date Landlord receives the Renewal Notice (the
"Exercise Date") or on the last day of the
then current Term; and (c) the Minimum Rent for the Renewal Term is determined
pursuant to Section 2.2 within ninety (90) days after the
Exercise Date.
2. Rent.
During the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord "Rent"
consisting of "Minimum Rent" plus
"Additional
Rent" determined as provided in this
Section 2; provided, the Rent for any Lease Year shall not be less
than
one hundred percent (100%) of the Rent for the previous Lease
Year. The Rent for any month that begins or ends on other than the first
or last
day of a calendar month shall be prorated based on actual days
elapsed.
2.1 Initial
Term Rent.
(a) During
the Initial Term, the annual "Minimum
Rent"
shall be an amount equal to the sum of (I) Landlord's Camelot
Investment multiplied by eight
and sixty
one-hundredths
percent
(8.60%), and (II) Landlord's Lakeview/HillenVale Investment
multiplied by eight
and seventy
one-hundredths percent (8.70%) (the "Lease
Rate"),
payable in advance in twelve (12) equal monthly installments.
Commencing with the second (2nd) Lease Year and continuing thereafter during
the
Term (excluding the first Lease Year of any Renewal Term), Tenant agrees
to pay
"Additional
Rent" to Landlord monthly in advance together with the payment
of Minimum Rent. Such Additional Rent (which shall be expressed as an annual
amount but shall be payable in equal monthly installments) shall be equal
to the
sum of (i) the Additional Rent for the immediately preceding Lease Year and
(ii)
the product of (A) the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due for the immediately
preceding Lease Year and (B) the lesser of (x) three percent (3.0%) or (y)
a
percentage equal to five (5) times the percentage increase (the "CPI
Increase")
in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics Consumer Price Index for All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers,
United States Average, Subgroup "All Items" (1982 –1984 = 100) (the "CPI"). In
no event shall the CPI Increase be a negative number. The applicable CPI
Increase shall be calculated annually for each Lease Year by comparing the
CPI
in effect on the first calendar day of the Lease Year for which Additional
Rent
is being calculated to the first calendar day of the immediately preceding
Lease
Year.
2
(b) As
used herein, (i) "Landlord's
Camelot Investment" means Landlord's investment in the Facility
located at 00-X Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxx (the "Camelot
Facility") in the amount of Ten Million Six Hundred Sixty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($10,665,000),
plus any amounts advanced by Landlord pursuant to
Section 8.6 with respect to the Camelot Facility, plus any other
amount that, in accordance with any other term or provision of this Master
Lease, is to be added to Landlord's Camelot Investment, and minus any
amount that, in accordance with any term or provision of this Master Lease,
is
to be subtracted from Landlord's Camelot Investment; and (ii) "Landlord's
Lakeview/HillenVale Investment" means Landlord's investment in
(A) the Facility located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx (the
"Lakeview
Facility"), and (B) the Facility located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx,
Xx. Xxxxxx, Xxxx (the "HillenVale
Facility"), in the aggregate amount of Twenty-Two Million Two
Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($22,280,000),
plus any amounts advanced by Landlord pursuant to
Section 8.6 with respect to the Lakeview Facility and/or
HillenVale
Facility, plus any other amount that, in accordance with any other term
or provision of this Master Lease, is to be added to Landlord's
Lakeview/HillenVale Investment, and minus any amount that, in
accordance with any term or provision of this Master Lease, is to be subtracted
from Landlord's Lakeview/HillenVale Investment.
(c) Concurrently
with any increase or decrease in Landlord's Camelot Investment and/or Landlord's
Lakeview/HillenVale Investment during the Term as described in Section
2.1(b), the Rent then due and payable for the balance of the applicable
Lease Year and Term shall be recalculated and reset based on the adjusted
amount
of Landlord's Camelot Investment and/or Landlord's Lakeview/HillenVale
Investment, as the case may be.
2.2 Renewal
Term Rent. To establish a fair market Minimum Rent for the Premises
during the Renewal Terms, the Minimum Rent for each Renewal Term shall
be reset
and expressed as an annual amount equal to the greater of (a) the product
of (i)
the total Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due for the last Lease Year
of the
Initial Term or the preceding Renewal Term, as the case may be, and (ii)
one hundred three percent (103%); or (b) the product of (x) the
"Fair Market Value" of the Premises on the Exercise Date
as
established pursuant to Exhibit C, and (y) a percentage equal to
two hundred (200) basis points over NHP's Weighted Average Cost
of Capital as of the Exercise Date. As used herein, "NHP's
Weighted Average Cost of Capital" as of any date of
determination shall be determined and calculated in accordance with Schedule
1 attached hereto. Commencing with the second (2'1)
Lease Year of a
Renewal Term, "Additional Rent" shall be calculated and payable
on a monthly basis together with
Minimum Rent as provided in Section 2.1.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in
no event shall the Minimum Rent due for the first Lease Year of
any
Renewal Term be less than one hundred three percent (103%) nor greater
than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the total Minimum Rent and Additional Rent
due for
the Lease Year immediately preceding the applicable Renewal
Term.
2.3 Payment
Terms. All Rent and other payments to Landlord shall be paid by
wire
transfer or ACH (Automated Clearing House) only. Minimum Rent
and Additional Rent shall be paid in advance in equal monthly installments
on or
before the first (1st) business day of each calendar month.
3
2.4 Absolute
Net Lease. All Rent payments shall be absolutely net to Landlord,
free of any and all Taxes, Other Charges, and operating or other expenses
of any
kind whatsoever, all of which shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall continue
to
perform its obligations under this Master Lease even if Tenant claims that
it
has been damaged by Landlord. Thus, Tenant shall at all times remain obligated
under this Master Lease without any right of setoff, counterclaim,
abatement, deduction, reduction or defense of any kind. Tenant's sole right
to
recover damages against Landlord under this Master Lease shall be to prove
such
damages in a separate action.
3. Late
Charges. The late payment of Rent or other amounts due will cause
Landlord to lose the use of such money and incur administrative and other
expenses not contemplated under this Master Lease. While the exact amount
of the
foregoing is extremely difficult to ascertain, the parties agree that as
a
reasonable estimate of fair compensation to Landlord, if any Rent or other
amount is not paid within (a) five (5) days after the due date for such
payment, then Tenant shall thereafter pay to Landlord on demand a late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of such delinquent
amounts, and (b) ten (10) days after the due date for such payment,
such unpaid amount shall accrue interest from such date at the
"Agreed Rate" of three percent (3%) plus
the Lease
Rate.
4. Security
Deposit: Guaranty.
(a)
Pursuant to the parties' concurrent Letter of Credit Agreement,
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord and maintain during
the Term one (1)
or more letters of credit in an undrawn face amount equal to Four Hundred
Three
Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars ($403,825) as a "Security
Deposit" against the faithful performance by Tenant of its obligations
under this Master Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) at the end of the first Lease Year the amount of the Security
Deposit shall be increased by the amount of $325,960 if the
Lakeview/HillenVale Rent Coverage Ratio is less than 1.01 to 1; and
(ii) at the end of the second Lease Year the amount of the Security Deposit
shall be increased by the amount of $162,980 if the
Lakeview/HillenVale Rent Coverage Ratio is less than 1.26 to 1. As used herein,
"Lakeview/HillenVale Rent Coverage Ratio" means, as of the date
of determination, the ratio of (i) the EBITDARM (as hereinafter defined)
for the
Lakeview Facility and HillenVale Facility for the immediately preceding two
calendar quarters (a "Measuring Period"), minus (A) an
assumed management fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Gross Revenues
(as hereinafter defined) generated during such Measuring
Period from
the Lakeview Facility and HillenVale Facility, and (B) one-half of the
applicable annual CapEx Amount (as defined in Section 8.3 below) for the
Lakeview Facility and HillenVale Facility at the commencement of the Measuring
Period, multiplied by the aggregate number of assisted living units at
the Lakeview Facility and HillenVale Facility, to (ii) the total amount of
the
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due with respect to the Lakeview Facility
and
HillenVale Facility for the Measuring Period pursuant to the terms of this
Master Lease
4
(c)
In the event that at any time following January 31, 2011 the Camelot Rent
Coverage Ratio is less than 1.20 to 1, Tenant shall from time to time make
deposits, which may be in the form of cash or supplemental letters of credit
meeting the requirements of the Letter of Credit Agreement (the
"Supplemental Deposits"), to Landlord pursuant to Section 4(d)
until such time as the total amount of the Security Deposit is increased
as a
result of such Supplemental Deposits by the amount of One Hundred Fifty-One
Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-Five Dollars ($151,435); provided,
however, Tenant's obligation to make such Supplemental Deposits shall not
apply
with respect to any Measuring Period (as hereinafter defined) for which the
Camelot Rent Coverage Ratio equals or exceeds 1.20 to 1. As used herein,
"Camelot Rent Coverage Ratio" means, as of the date of
determination, the ratio of (i) the EBITDARM for the Camelot Facility for
the
Measuring Period, minus (A) an assumed management fee equal to five
percent (5%) of the Gross Revenues (as hereinafter defined)
generated during such Measuring Period from the Camelot Facility, and (B)
one-half of the applicable annual CapEx Amount (as defined in Section 8.3
below)
for the Camelot Facility at the commencement of the Measuring Period,
multiplied by the aggregate number of assisted living units at the
Camelot Facility, to (ii) the total amount of the Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent due with respect to the Camelot Facility for the Measuring Period pursuant
to the terms of this Master Lease. As used herein, "EBITDARM"
means, for any Measuring Period, the net income (or loss)
of Tenant for
such Measuring Period to the extent derived from the operation of the applicable
Facility or Facilities, adjusted to add thereto any amounts deducted in
determining such net income (or loss) for (v) interest expense, (w) income
tax
expense, (x) depreciation and amortization expense, (y) rental expense, and
(z)
management fee expense, in each case determined in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.
(d) The
Supplemental Deposits to be made by Tenant in accordance with Section 4(c)
above
shall be due on the thirtieth (30th) day
of each
calendar month (or last day of the month, in the case of February) following
the
Measuring Period in which the actual Camelot Rent Coverage Ratio fails to
equal
or exceed 1.20 to 1. The Supplemental Deposits shall be equal to five percent
(5%) of the Gross Revenues from the Camelot Facility for the calendar month
immediately preceding the date on which each Supplemental Deposit is due
or such
lesser amount as is required to fulfill the requirements of Section 4(c)
above.
As used herein, "Gross Revenues" means all of the revenues of the applicable
Facility or Facilities other than the proceeds of the sale of any of the
applicable Facility's or Facilities' equipment which has become worn out
or
obsolete, all insurance awards and condemnation proceeds, sales, use and
occupancy or other taxes on receipts required to be accounted for by Tenant
to
governmental authorities and non-recurring revenues as reasonably approved
by
Landlord.
5. Taxes
and Other Charges. At the commencement and end of the Term, all
Taxes and Other Charges shall be prorated. Landlord shall promptly forward
to
Tenant copies of all bills and payment receipts for Taxes or Other Charges
received by it. Tenant shall pay and discharge (including the filing of all
required returns), prior to delinquency or imposition of any fine, penalty,
interest or other cost ("Penalty"), (a) "Taxes", consisting of
any property (real and personal) and other taxes and assessments levied or
assessed with respect to this Master Lease, any portion of the Premises or
Landlord, with respect to the Premises [including, without limitation, any
state
or county occupation tax, transaction privilege, franchise taxes, business
privilege, rental tax or other excise taxes, and other assessments levied
or
assessed against the Premises, Tenant's interest therein or Landlord (with
respect to this Master Lease and/or the Premises, but excluding any local,
state
or federal income tax based upon the net income of Landlord and any transfer
tax
or stamps for its transfer of any interest in any portion of the Premises
to any
Person other than Tenant or any of its Affiliates or other similar taxes
attributable to Landlord, all of which shall be paid by Landlord)], and
(b) "Other Charges", consisting of any utilities and other
costs and expenses of the Business or any portion of the Premises and all
other
charges, obligations or deposits assessed against any portion of the Premises
during the Term with respect to the use or operation of the Premises. Tenant
may
pay the foregoing in permitted installments (whether or not interest accrues
on
the unpaid balance) when due and before any Penalty. Within thirty (30) days
of its receipt of Landlord's written notice of payment, Tenant
shall pay
Landlord an amount equal to any Taxes or Penalty that Landlord at any time
is
assessed or otherwise becomes responsible and for which Tenant is liable
under
this Master Lease, whether arising from the sole liability of Landlord or
the
joint liability of the parties.
5
5.1 Protests.
Each party has the right, but not the obligation, in
good
faith to protest or contest (a "Protest") in whole or in part
(a) the amount or payment
of any Taxes or Other Charges and (b) the existence, amount
or
validity of any Lien (as defined in Section 8.1) by appropriate
proceedings sufficient to prevent its collection or other realization and
the
sale, forfeiture or loss of any portion of the Premises or Rent to satisfy
it
(so long as it provides Landlord with reasonable security (including, without
limitation a bond) to assure the foregoing). Tenant shall diligently prosecute
any such Protest at its sole cost and expense and pay such Taxes, Other Charges
or Lien before the imposition of any Penalty. Landlord will cooperate fully
in
any Protest that involves an amount assessed against it.
5.2 Im
ound. Tenant shall include with each Minimum Rent payment a
deposit
of one-twelfth (1/12t)
of the amount required to discharge the annual amount of real property
Taxes secured by a Lien encumbering any portion of the Premises as and when
they
become due. The deposits shall not bear interest nor be held by Landlord
in
trust or as an agent of Tenant, but rather shall be applied to the payment
of
the related obligations. Provided that the impound deposits are then sufficient
for payment of the applicable obligations, (a) the amounts held by
Landlord
shall be applied by Landlord directly to the payment of the related obligations
in a timely fashion and prior to the imposition of any Penalty, and (b) if any Penalty results
from
Landlord's failure to timely make any such payment, such Penalty shall be
borne
by Landlord. If at any time within thirty (30) days prior to the due
date the deposits shall be insufficient for the payment of the obligation
in
full, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand deposit the
deficiency with Landlord. If deposits are in excess of the actual obligation,
the required monthly deposits for the ensuing Lease Year shall be reduced
proportionately and any such excess at the end of the final Lease Year shall
be
refunded to Tenant within thirty calendar (30) days. Tenant shall
forward to Landlord or its designee all Tax bills, bond and assessment
statements as soon as they are received. If Landlord transfers this Master
Lease, it shall transfer all such deposits to the transferee, and Landlord
shall
thereafter have no liability of any kind with respect thereto.
6. Insurance.
6
6.1
Requirements. All insurance provided for in
this Master Lease shall (i) be maintained under valid and enforceable policies
issued by insurers licensed and approved to do business in the state(s) where
the Premises are located and having general policyholders and financial ratings
of not less than "A-" and "X", respectively, in the then current Best's
Insurance Report, (ii) name Landlord as an additional insured and, for the
casualty policy referenced in Section 6.1, as the owner and loss payable
beneficiary, (iii) be on an "occurrence" basis (except as otherwise contemplated
herein), (iv) cover all of Tenant's operations at the applicable Facility
or
portion of the Premises, (v) provide that the policy may not be canceled
except
upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord
and (vi) be primary and provide that any insurance with respect to any portion
of the Premises maintained by Landlord is excess and noncontributing with
Tenant's insurance. The parties hereby waive as to each other all rights
of
subrogation which any insurance carrier, or either of them, may have by reason
of any provision in any policy issued to them, provided such waiver does
not
thereby invalidate such policy. Original policies or reasonably satisfactory
insurer certificates evidencing the existence of the insurance required by
this
Master Lease and showing the interest of Landlord shall be provided to it
prior
to the commencement of the Term or, for a renewal policy, not less than ten
(10) days prior to the expiration date of the policy being renewed. If
Landlord is provided with a certificate, it may demand that Tenant provide
a
complete copy of the related policy within ten (10) days. During the
Term, Tenant shall maintain the following insurance and any claims thereunder
shall be adjudicated by and at the expense of it or its insurance
carrier:
(a)
Fire and Extended Coverage with respect to each Facility
against loss or damage from all causes under standard "all risk" property
insurance coverage with an agreed amount endorsement (such that the insurance
carrier has accepted the amount of coverage and has agreed that there will
be no

6.2 Additional
Requirements. If at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term
or upon Tenant's exercise of its option to purchase pursuant to Section 23,
Tenant is not in compliance with the requirements of Section
6.1 and any general liability insurance maintained by Tenant provides for
coverage on a "claims-made" basis, Landlord may in its sole and absolute
discretion require Tenant to purchase an "Extended Reporting Provision Option"
(i.e., tail coverage) for such general liability policy for two (2)
years.
6.3 Payments
to Landlord. During any Lease Year or portion thereof in which
Tenant is not in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1, Tenant
shall pay Landlord, within ten (10) days of Landlord's demand therefor,
for the estimated costs of the premiums of the general liability insurance
policy maintained by Landlord, or contributions to self-insurance in lieu
thereof, in connection with the Premises for the applicable period during
which
Tenant is not in compliance, which amount shall not exceed in any Lease Year
the
sum of six cents ($.06) multiplied by the total square footage
of the Facilities located on the Premises (as adjusted at the end of each
Lease
Year for increases since the Effective Date in the CPI). Tenant shall have
no
right to receive any proceeds or other benefits from any such insurance.
For
purposes of this Section 6.3, Tenant shall not be in compliance with
Section 6.1 at any such time that any insurance required hereunder is
provided to Tenant by or through a "captive" insurance company.
7. Use,
Regulatory Compliance and Preservation of Business.
7.1 Permitted
Use; Qualified Care. Tenant shall continuously use and
occupy
each Facility during the Term (other than during a period of repair or
reconstruction following damage or destruction thereto or as a result of
condemnation) as a licensed facility engaged in the respective Business
described on Schedule 2 with not less than the applicable number of units
shown on Schedule 2, and for ancillary services relating thereto, but for
no other purpose. Tenant shall not allow the average occupancy for any Facility
for any trailing three (3) month period to be less than
fifty percent (50%). Tenant shall provide care, treatment
and
services to all customers of the Business in a manner consistent with all
applicable laws.
8
7.2 Regulatory
Compliance . Tenant
and the Premises shall comply in all material respects with all licensing
and
other laws and all CC&R's and other use or maintenance requirements
applicable to the Business conducted thereon and, to the extent applicable,
all
Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payor certification requirements,
including timely filing properly completed cost and other required reports,
timely paying all expenses shown thereon, and ensuring that the Premises
continue to be fully certified for participation in Medicare and Medicaid
throughout the Term and when they are returned to Landlord, all without any
suspension, revocation, decertification or other material limitation. Further,
Tenant shall not commit any act or omission that would in any way violate
any
certificate of occupancy affecting any Facility, result in closure of the
Business conducted at any Facility or result in the sale or transfer of all
or
any portion of any related certificate of need, bed rights or other similar
certificate or license. All inspection fees, costs and charges associated
with a
change of such licensure or certification shall be borne solely by
Tenant.
7.3 Preservation
of Business. Tenant acknowledges that a fair return to Landlord on
and protection of its investment in the Premises is dependent, in part, on
Tenant's dedication to the Business and the concentration on each Facility
of
similar businesses of Tenant and its Affiliates in the geographical area
of such
Facility. Tenant further acknowledges that the diversion of residents or
patient
care activities from any Facility to other facilities owned or operated by
Tenant or its Affiliates at any time during the Term will have a material
adverse affect on the value and utility of such Facility. Therefore, Tenant
agrees that during the Term and for a period of one (1) year
thereafter, neither Tenant nor any of its Affiliates shall, without
the
prior written consent of Landlord: (i) operate, own, participate in or otherwise
receive revenues from any other business providing services similar to those
of
the Business of any Facility within the geographical radius of such Facility
as
set forth on Schedule 2, (ii) except as is necessary to provide
residents or patients with an alternative level of care, recommend or solicit
the removal or transfer of any resident or patient from any Facility to any
other nursing, health care, senior housing or retirement housing facility
or
divert actual or potential residents, patients or care activities of the
Business conducted at any Facility to any other facilities owned or operated
by
Tenant or its Affiliates or from which they receive any type of referral
fees or
other compensation for transfers, or (iii) employ for other businesses any
management or supervisory personnel working on a daily basis at any Facility.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless this Master Lease terminates as a result
of an Event of Default by Tenant, the foregoing prohibition against employment
shall not apply to unsolicited personnel who approach Tenant or its Affiliate
directly and request employment by Tenant or such Affiliate. For purposes
of
this Section 7.3, an "Affiliate" shall not be deemed or construed to
include Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund III, L.P., Apollo Real Estate
Investment Fund IV, L.P. or any other Affiliates of such entities that are
not
affiliated with Summerville Senior Living, Inc.
8. Acceptance,
Maintenance, Upgrade, Alteration and Environmental.
8.1 Acceptance
"AS IS"; No Liens. Tenant acknowledges that it is presently engaged
in operations like the Business in the state(s) where the Premises are located
and has expertise in this industry and, in deciding to enter into this Master
Lease, has not relied on any representations or warranties, express or implied,
of any kind from Landlord. Tenant has examined the condition of title to
and
thoroughly investigated the Premises, has selected the Premises to its own
specifications, has concluded that no improvements or modifications to them
are
required in order to conduct the Business, and accepts them on an "AS
IS" basis and assumes all responsibility and cost for the
correction of any observed or unobserved deficiencies or violations. It
is expressly understood and agreed that any inspection by or on behalf of
the
Landlord of the business conducted at the Premises or of
the
Premises is for Landlord's sole and exclusive benefit and is
not directly or indirectly for the benefit of, nor should be
relied in any manner upon by, Tenant, its residents or
any
other third party. Notwithstanding its right to Protest set forth in
Section 5.1, Tenant shall not cause or permit any lien, levy or
attachment to be placed or assessed against any portion of the Premises or
the
operation thereof (a "Lien") for any reason.
9
8.2 Tenant's
Maintenance Obligations. Tenant shall (a) keep and
maintain
the
Premises in good appearance, repair and condition and maintain proper
housekeeping, (b) promptly make all repairs (interior and exterior, structural
and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen)
necessary to keep each Facility in good and lawful order and condition and
in
substantial compliance with all applicable requirements and laws relating
to the
Business, including if applicable certification for participation in Medicare
and Medicaid, and (c) keep and maintain all Landlord and Tenant Personal
Property in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and repair and
replace such property consistent with prudent industry practice.
8.3 Upgrade
Expenditures. Tenant shall include with each Minimum
Rent
payment,
starting with the first ( ft)
full
month of the Term, a deposit for each Facility to be added to a reserve
(the "CapEx Reserve") equal to one-twelfth (1/12th)
of the Applicable
Annual Reserve for such Facility (as adjusted at the end of each Lease Year
for
increases since the Effective Date in the CPI, the "CapEx Amount"),
multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of assisted living
care units at such Facility (the "Upgrade Minimum"), minus
(c) the Upgrade Overage (as hereinafter defined).
As used herein, the
"Applicable Annual Reserve" means:
Age
of Facility (Years)
|
Applicable
Annual Reserve
|
Zero
through Three
|
$
200.00
|
Four
through Seven
|
$
300.00
|
Eight
or more Years
|
$
450.00
|
Landlord
shall not be deemed to hold the same in trust or as an agent for Tenant.
Tenant
acknowledges that the impounding of such funds in the CapEx Reserve shall
constitute a true escrow, and that Tenant has no, and hereby waives any,
interest in or right or title to any funds escrowed pursuant to this Section
8.3, whether legal, equitable, beneficial or otherwise. From time to time,
but not more often than once in any calendar month and provided that no Event
of
Default is then continuing, Landlord will pay to Tenant amounts from the
CapEx
Reserve to reimburse Tenant for Upgrade Expenditures made by Tenant during
the
prior rolling twenty-four (24) month period during the Term
(or portion thereof), as reasonably determined by Landlord based on evidence
of
such expenditures submitted by Tenant. Landlord shall make the reimbursements
to
Tenant required hereunder within twenty-one (21) days after
satisfaction of all conditions to such reimbursement. Landlord may require
Tenant to procure mechanic's lien waivers, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, in connection with any Upgrade Expenditures in
excess
of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). "Upgrade Expenditures" means
expenditures in commercially reasonable amounts to Persons not affiliated
with
Tenant (unless otherwise reasonably approved by Landlord) for (x) upgrades
or
improvements to any Facility that have the effect of maintaining or improving
its competitive position in its respective marketplace, including new or
replacement wallpaper, tiles, window coverings, lighting fixtures, painting,
upgraded landscaping, carpeting, architectural adornments, common area amenities
and the like, but excluding capital improvements or repairs such as repairs
or
replacements of the roof, structural elements of the walls, parking area
or the
electrical, plumbing, HVAC or other mechanical or structural systems, and
(y)
other improvements to any Facility as reasonably approved by Landlord. Any
amount remaining in the CapEx Reserve at the expiration of the Term or earlier
termination of this Master Lease shall be retained by Landlord as additional
or
supplemental Rent hereunder; provided, however, that if Tenant exercises
the option to purchase set forth in Section 23 below, any amount remaining
in
the CapEx Reserve at the expiration of Term shall be credited to the purchase
price payable from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of the option
to
purchase. As used herein "Upgrade Overage"
means any amounts expended by Tenant
on Upgrade Expenditures at the
Facilities in the two immediately preceding Lease Years in excess of the
Upgrade
Minimum for the corresponding Lease Years (excluding any such amounts that
are
financed by Tenant and secured by a lien on the personal property relating
thereto).
10
8.4 Alterations
by Tenant.
Tenant may alter, improve, exchange, replace, modify
or
expand (collectively, "Alterations") the Facilities, equipment
or appliances in the Premises from time to time as it may determine is desirable
for the continuing and proper use and maintenance of the Premises; provided,
that any Alterations in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) with respect to any individual Facility in any
rolling twelve (12) month period shall require Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided further, that any Alterations to the Premises must satisfy
the
requirements set forth in Sections 4.04 (2) and (3) of Revenue Procedure
2001-28, 2001-19 I.R.B. 1156. All Alterations shall immediately become a
part of
the Premises and the property of Landlord subject to this Master Lease, and
except to the extent that Landlord in its sole discretion agrees to fund
them
following Tenant's written request therefor, the cost of all Alterations
or
other purchases, whether undertaken as an on-going licensing, Medicare, Medicaid
or other regulatory requirement, or otherwise shall be borne solely by Tenant.
All Alterations shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance
with all applicable laws and the insurance required under this Master
Lease.
8.5 Hazardous
Materials.
Tenant's use of the Premises shall comply with all Hazardous
Materials Laws. If any Environmental Activities occur or are suspected to
have
occurred in violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws or if Tenant has received
notice of any Hazardous Materials Claim against any portion of the Premises,
Tenant shall promptly obtain all permits and approvals necessary to remedy
any
such actual or suspected problem through the removal of Hazardous Materials
or
otherwise, and upon Landlord's reasonable approval of the remediation plan,
remedy any such problem to the satisfaction of Landlord and all applicable
governmental authorities, in accordance with all Hazardous Materials Laws
and
good business practices. Tenant shall immediately advise Landlord in writing
of
(a) any Environmental Activities in violation of any Hazardous Materials
Laws;
(b) any Hazardous Materials Claims against Tenant or any portion of the
Premises; (c) any remedial action taken by Tenant in response to any Hazardous
Materials Claims or any Hazardous Materials on, under or about any portion
of
the Premises in violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws; (d) Tenant's
discovery of any occurrence or condition on or in the vicinity of any portion
of
the Premises that materially increase the risk that any portion of the Premises
will be exposed to Hazardous Materials; and (e) all communications to or
from
Tenant, any governmental authority or any other Person relating to Hazardous
Materials Laws or Hazardous Materials Claims with respect to any portion
of the
Premises, including copies thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this
Master Lease, if any Hazardous Materials are discovered on, under or about
any
portion of the Premises in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law and as
a
result of an act or intentional omission on the part of the Tenant, the Term
shall be automatically extended and this Master Lease shall remain in full
force
and effect until the earlier to occur of the completion of all remedial action
or monitoring, as approved by Landlord, in accordance with all Hazardous
Materials Laws, or the date specified in a written notice from Landlord to
Tenant terminating this Master Lease (which date may be subsequent to the
date
upon which the Term was to have expired). Landlord shall have the right,
at
Tenant's sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, Landlord's
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) and with counsel chosen by Landlord,
to
join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings
or
actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials
Claims.
11
8.6 Capital

up to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), in the aggregate, for the
cost of
capital improvements to the Camelot Facility (either physical plant or
furniture, fixtures and equipment); and (b) up to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000), in the aggregate, for the cost of capital improvements to the
Lakeview Facility and/or HillenVale Facility (either physical plant or

amounts
or any request for disbursement of such amounts;
8.6.4
With respect to any advance for capital improvements, Tenant shall
comply with the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof;

9. Tenant
Property and Security Interest.
9.1 Tenant
Property. Tenant shall obtain and install all items of furniture,
fixtures, supplies and equipment not included as Landlord Personal Property
as
shall be necessary or reasonably appropriate to operate the Premises in
compliance with this Master Lease ("Tenant Personal Property").
(Tenant Personal Property and "Tenant Intangible
Property" shall be collectively
referred to herein as
"Tenant Property".) As used herein, "Tenant Intangible
Property" means all the following at any time owned by Tenant in
connection with its use of any portion of the Premises: Medicare, Medicaid
and
other accounts and proceeds thereof; rents, profits, income or revenue derived
from such operation or use; all documents, chattel paper, instruments, contract
rights (including contracts with residents, employees and third-party payors),
deposit accounts, general intangibles (excluding intellectual property) and
choses in action; refunds of any Taxes or Other Charges; licenses and permits
necessary or desirable for Tenant's use of any portion of the Premises,
including licensed Medicaid beds, any applicable certificate of need or other
similar certificate, and the exclusive right to transfer, move or apply for
the
foregoing and manage the Business conducted at any portion of the Premises
(including the right to apply for permission to reduce the licensed bed
complement, take any of the licensed beds out of service or move the beds
to a
different location); and the right to use the names set forth on Schedule 2
and any other trade or other name now or hereafter associated with
its
operation of the Premises (excluding the "Summerville" name or any variation
thereof and any other trade names and trademarks that are generally used
by
Tenant and its Affiliates in connection with the operation of their respective
businesses).
9.2 Landlord's
Security Interest and Financing Statements. The parties intend that
if Tenant defaults under this Master Lease, Landlord will control the Tenant
Property so that Landlord or its designee can operate or re-let each Facility
and the associated personal property intact for use as a licensed facility
engaged in the applicable Business. Therefore, to implement the intention
of the
parties, and for the purpose of securing the payment and performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Master Lease, Tenant, as debtor, hereby grants to
Landlord, as secured party, a security interest in and an express contractual
Lien upon, all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Tenant
Property and any and all products and proceeds thereof, in which Tenant now
owns
or leases or hereafter acquires an interest or right. This Master Lease
constitutes a security agreement covering all such Tenant Property, and the
security interest granted to Landlord is intended by the parties to be
subordinate to any security interest granted in Tenant Personal Property
in
connection with the financing or leasing of all or any portion thereof, so
long
as the lessor or financier agrees to give Landlord written notice of any
default
by Tenant under the terms of such arrangement and a reasonable time following
such notice to cure any such default and to consent to Landlord's written
assumption of such arrangement upon curing such default. This security interest
and agreement shall survive the termination of this Master Lease resulting
from
an Event of Default. Tenant shall pay all filing and reasonable record search
fees and other costs for such additional security agreements, financing
statements, fixture filings and other documents as Landlord may reasonably
require to perfect or continue the perfection of its security
interest.
13
10. Financial,
Management and Regulatory Reports. Tenant shall provide Landlord
with the reports listed in Exhibit F at the time described therein, and
such other information about it or the operations of the Premises/Business
as
Landlord may reasonably request from time to time. All financial information
provided shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied. If Tenant or any Guarantor becomes subject
to
any reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission during
the
Term, it shall concurrently deliver to Landlord such reports as are delivered
pursuant to applicable securities laws. Tenant shall be assessed with a $500
administrative fee for each instance in which Tenant fails to provide Landlord
with the monthly, quarterly or annual financial reports listed in Exhibit F
within the time specified therein, which administrative fee shall
be
immediately due and payable to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
administrative fee shall not be assessed to Tenant so long as (a) Tenant
is not
delinquent in the delivery of such financial reports more than two (2) times
in
any consecutive twelve (12) month period, and (b) Tenant remits any delinquent
report to Landlord within five (5) business days of Landlord's written request
therefor.
11. Representations
and Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other
that: (a) this Master Lease and all other documents executed or to be executed
by it in connection herewith have been duly authorized and shall be binding
upon
it; (b) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the
laws of the state of its formation and is duly authorized and qualified to
perform this Master Lease within the state(s) where the Premises are located;
and (c) neither this Master Lease nor any other document executed or to be
executed in connection herewith violates the terms of any other agreement
of
such party.
12. Events
of Default. So long as there is no Event of Default, Tenant shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, free
of
any claim or other action not caused or created by Tenant or pursuant to
Sections 17 or 18. The occurrence of any of the following events will
constitute an "Event of Default" on the part of Tenant, and
there shall be no cure period therefor except as otherwise expressly
provided:
(a) Tenant's
failure to pay (i) when due any Rent, or (ii) within five (5) days of
when due, any Taxes, Other Charges or other required payments hereunder;
provided, however, that Tenant's failure to pay Rent when due
shall not be an Event of Default if such failure does not occur more than
once
in any Lease Year and Tenant delivers such Rent payment to Landlord within
two
(2) business days' of the date when due;
(b) (i)
The revocation of any license required for the operation of any portion of
the
Business or any portion of the Premises or the certification of any portion

(c) Any
other material suspension, termination or restriction placed upon Tenant,
any
license to operate any portion of the Business, any portion of the Premises
or
the ability to admit residents or patients (e.g., an admissions ban or
non-payment for new admissions by Medicare or Medicaid resulting from an
inspection survey); provided, however, if any such material suspension or
restriction is curable by Tenant it shall not constitute an Event of Default
if
Tenant promptly commences to cure such breach and thereafter diligently pursues
such cure to the completion thereof within the lesser of: (i) the time period
in
which the applicable governmental agency has given Tenant to undertake
corrective action, or (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence
of
any such material suspension or restriction;
(d) A
material default by Tenant or any Guarantor (i) or any Affiliate of either
under
the Guaranty, the Letter of Credit Agreement or any other lease, agreement
or
obligation between it and Landlord or any of its Affiliates which is not

to any
such scheduled monetary obligation due under (A) any other lease or leases
with
any other party under which Tenant is obligated to make annual rental payments
in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) which is not cured within
any applicable cure period specified therein, or (B) any financing agreement
with a then outstanding principal balance in excess of $500,000 with any
other
party which is not cured within any applicable cure period specified

or 16;
(g) (i)

or shall make an assignment of all or substantially all of its property for
the
benefit of creditors; or (ii) a receiver, trustee or liquidator shall be
appointed for either or them or any of their property, if withinfive (5)
business days after Tenant receives written notice of such appointment
Tenant does not inform Landlord in writing that they intend to cause such
appointment to be discharged or such discharge is not diligently prosecuted
to
completion within ninety (90) days after the date of such appointment;
(iii) the filing by either of them of a voluntary petition under any federal
bankruptcy or state law to be adjudicated as bankrupt or for any arrangement
or

ninety (90) days after filing; or
(h) The
failure to perform or comply with any other provision of this Master Lease

Tenant
gives Landlord notice of its intent to cure such default; and (ii) Tenant
cures
it either (x) within thirty (30) days after such notice from Landlord
or (y) if such default cannot with due diligence be so cured because of the
nature of the default or delays beyond the reasonable control of Tenant and
cure
after such period will not have a materially adverse effect upon any portion
of
the Premises or any portion of the Business, then such default shall not
constitute an Event of Default if Tenant uses its best efforts to cure such
default by promptly commencing and diligently pursuing such cure to the
completion thereof and cures it within one hundred twenty (120)
days after
such notice from Landlord.
15
13. Remedies.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may exercise
all rights and remedies under this Master Lease and the laws of the state(s)
where the Premises are located that are available to a lessor of real and
personal property in the event of a default by its lessee, and as to the
Tenant
Property, all remedies granted under the laws of such state(s) to a secured
party under its Uniform Commercial Code. Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate
damages unless required by applicable law and shall not be responsible or
liable
for any failure to relet any of the Premises or to collect any rent due upon
any
such reletting. Tenant shall pay Landlord, immediately upon demand, all
reasonable expenses incurred by it in obtaining possession and reletting
any of
the Premises, including reasonable fees, commissions and costs of attorneys,
architects, agents and brokers.
13.1
General. Without limiting the foregoing,
Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to do any of the
following upon an Event of Default: (a) xxx for the specific performance
of any
covenant of Tenant as to which it is in breach; (b) enter upon the Premises,
terminate this Master Lease, dispossess Tenant from the Premises and/or collect
money damages by reason of Tenant's breach, including the acceleration of
all
Rent which would have accrued after such termination and all obligations
and
liabilities of Tenant under this Master Lease which survive the termination
of
the Term; (c) elect to leave this Master Lease in place and xxx for Rent
and
other money damages as the same come due; (d) (before or after repossession
of
the Premises pursuant to clause (b) above and whether or not this Master
Lease
has been terminated) relet any portion of the Premises to such tenant(s),
for
such term(s) (which may be greater or less than the remaining balance of
the
Term), rent, conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and
uses as
it may determine in its sole discretion and collect and receive any rents
payable by reason of such reletting; and (e) sell any Tenant Property in
a non
judicial foreclosure sale.
13.2
Receivership. Tenant acknowledges that a
Catastrophic Event of Default will materially and irreparably impair the
value
of Landlord's investment in the Premises. Therefore, in addition to its other
rights and remedies, upon a Catastrophic Event of Default Landlord shall
have
the right, as permitted and provided by applicable law, to petition any
appropriate court for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of
all or
any portion of the Premises, to manage the operation of all or any portion
of
the Premises, to collect and disburse all rents, issues, profits and income
generated thereby and to the extent applicable and possible, to preserve
or
replace any affected license or provider certification for the Premises or
to
otherwise substitute the licensee or provider thereof (the
"Receivership"). If Landlord commences the Receivership, the
receiver shall be paid a reasonable fee for its services and all such fees
and
other reasonable expenses of the Receivership shall be paid in addition to,
and
not in limitation of, the Rent otherwise due to Landlord hereunder. Tenant
irrevocably consents to the Receivership upon a Catastrophic Event of Default
and thus stipulates to and agrees not to contest the appointment of a receiver
under such circumstances and for such purposes.
16
13.3
Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or
now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Any notice or cure period provided
herein shall run concurrently with any provided by applicable law. No failure
of
Landlord to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision
of
this Master Lease or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained
herein shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof
as
to any similar or different breach (future or otherwise) by Tenant. Landlord's
receipt of any rent or other sum due hereunder (including any late charge)
with
knowledge of any breach shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and
no
waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Master Lease shall be effective
unless expressed in a writing signed by it.
13.4
Performance of Tenant's Obligations. If Tenant
at any time shall fail to make any payment or perform any act on its part
required to be made or performed under this Master Lease within the applicable
notice and/or cure period, if any, then Landlord may, without waiving or
releasing Tenant from any obligations or default hereunder, make such payment
or
perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and enter
upon
any portion of the Premises for the purpose of taking all such action as
may be
reasonably necessary. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant.
All
sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and incidental costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection
with
the performance of any such act by it, together with interest at the Agreed
Rate
from the date of the making of such payment or the incurring of such costs
and
expenses, shall at Landlord's option either be payable by Tenant to Landlord
on
demand or added to Landlord's Camelot Investment and/or Landlord's
Lakeview/HillenVale Investment, as the case may be.
14. Provisions
on
Termination.
14.1
Surrender of Possession. On the expiration of
the Term or earlier termination or cancellation of this Master Lease (the
"Termination Date"), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its
designee possession of (a) the Premises in a neat and clean condition and
in as
good a condition as existed at the date of their possession and occupancy,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, (b) a fully operational, licensed and certified
Business at the Premises including, at Tenant's sole cost, any Alterations
necessitated by, or imposed in connection with, a change of ownership inspection
survey for the transfer of operation of the Premises to Landlord or its
designee, and (c) all patient charts and resident records along with appropriate
resident consents if necessary and copies of all its books and records relating
to any portion of the Business and any portion of the Premises. Accordingly,
Tenant shall not at any time during or after the Term seek to transfer,
surrender, allow to lapse, or grant any security interest or any other interest
in and to, the licenses, permits or certifications relating to any portion
of
the Business or any portion of the Premises, nor shall Tenant commit or omit
any
act that would jeopardize the Business or any licensure or certification
of any
portion of the Premises. Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord or its
designee in transferring or obtaining all necessary licenses and certifications
for Landlord or its designee, and Tenant shall comply with all requests for
an
orderly transfer of the Business, facility license, and Medicare and Medicaid
certifications and possession at the time of its surrender of the Premises
to
Landlord or its designee. Subject to all applicable laws, Tenant hereby assigns,
effective upon the Termination Date, all rights to operate the Facilities
to
Landlord or its designee including all required licenses and permits and
all
rights to apply for or otherwise obtain them, and all other nonproprietary
Tenant Intangible Property relating to any portion of the
Premises.
17
14.2
Removal of Tenant Personal Property. Provided
that no Event of Default then exists, in connection with the surrender of
the
Premises Tenant may upon at least five (5) business days prior notice
to Landlord remove from the Premises in a workmanlike manner all Tenant Personal
Property, leaving the Premises in good and presentable condition and appearance,
including repair of any damage caused by such removal; provided that Landlord
shall have the right and option to purchase the Tenant Personal Property
for its
then fair market value during such five (5) business day notice period,
in which case Tenant shall so convey the Tenant Personal Property to Landlord
or
its nominee by executing a xxxx of sale in a form reasonably required by
Landlord. Title to any Tenant Personal Property which is not removed by Tenant
as permitted above upon the expiration of the Term shall, at Landlord's
election, vest in Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may remove and
store or dispose at Tenant's expense any or all of such Tenant Personal Property
which is not so removed by Tenant without obligation or accounting to
Tenant.
14.3
Management of Premises. Commencing on the
Termination Date, Landlord or its designee, upon written notice to Tenant,
may
elect to assume the responsibilities and obligations for the management and
operation of the Business and Tenant agrees to cooperate in a commercially
reasonable manner to accomplish the transfer of such management and operation
without interrupting the operation of the Business. To the extent permitted
by
applicable law, including any state licensure laws with respect to the operation
of the Premises and subject to the parties agreeing on the form of a management
agreement which shall include, at a minimum, an indemnity in favor of Tenant
in
form and substance acceptable to Tenant and from an entity acceptable to
Tenant
(all of which shall be at no cost or expense to Tenant), Tenant agrees that
Landlord or its designee may operate the Business under Tenant's license
and
certification pending the issuance of new licenses and certifications to
Landlord or its designee. Tenant shall not commit any act or be remiss in
the
undertaking of any act that would jeopardize any licensure or certification
of
any portion of the Premises, and Tenant shall comply with all reasonable
requests for an orderly transfer of any and all facility and other licenses,
Medicare and Medicaid certifications and possession of the Premises at the
time
of any such surrender.
14.4
Holding Over. If Tenant shall for any reason
remain in possession of any portion of the Premises after the Termination
Date,
such possession shall be a month-to-month tenancy during which time Tenant
shall
pay as rental on the first (1") business day of each month one
and one-half (1%) times the total of the monthly Minimum Rent payable
with respect to the last Lease Year plus Additional Rent allocable to
the month, all additional charges accruing during the month and all other
sums,
if any, payable by Tenant pursuant to this Master Lease. Nothing contained
herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the
holding over of Tenant after the Termination Date, nor shall anything contained
herein be deemed to limit Landlord's remedies.
14.5
Survival. All representations, warranties,
covenants and other obligations of Tenant under this Master Lease shall survive
the Termination Date.
18
15. Certain
Landlord Rights.
15.1
Entry and Examination of Records. Landlord and
its representatives may enter any portion of the Premises at any reasonable
time
after reasonable notice to Tenant to inspect the Premises for compliance,
to
exhibit the Premises for sale, lease or mortgaging, or for any other reason;
provided that no such notice shall be required in the event of an emergency,
upon an Event of Default or to post notices of non-responsibility under any
mechanic's or materialman's lien law. No such entry shall unreasonably interfere
with residents, patients, patient care or the Business. During normal business
hours, Tenant will permit Landlord and its representatives, inspectors and
consultants to examine all contracts, books and financial and other records
(wherever kept) relating to Tenant's operations at any portion of the
Premises.
15.2
Grant Liens. Without the consent of Tenant,
Landlord may from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
cause to exist any Lien, title retention agreement or other encumbrance upon
the
Premises, or any portion thereof or interest therein (including this Master
Lease), whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or
refinancing or otherwise. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall subordinate
this Master Lease to the Lien of any such encumbrance pursuant to a written
agreement ("SNDA") so long as (a) the SNDA provides that the Lien of such
encumbrance is subject to the rights of Tenant under this Master Lease and
that
so long as no Event of Default shall exist, Tenant's occupancy shall not
be
disturbed if any Person takes possession of the applicable portion of the
Premises through foreclosure proceeding or otherwise; and (b) no additional
cost
or expense (excluding ministerial costs to comply with notice requirements)
shall be imposed on Tenant under the terms and conditions of the
SNDA.
15.3
Estoppel Certificates. Each of Landlord and
Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior
written request by the other party, have an authorized representative execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party or its designee a written
statement certifying (a) that this Master Lease, together with any specified
modifications, is in full force and effect, (b) the dates to which Rent and
additional charges have been paid, (c) that no default by either party exists
or
specifying any such default and (d) as to such other matters as the requesting
party may reasonably request.
15.4
Conveyance Release. If Landlord or any
successor owner shall transfer the Premises in accordance with this Master
Lease, they shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and
obligations hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such
conveyance or other transfer, which instead shall thereupon be binding upon
the
new owner.
19
16. Assignment
and Subletting. Without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which
may
be withheld or conditioned at its sole discretion, this Master Lease shall
not,
nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assigned or encumbered by operation
of law, nor shall Tenant voluntarily or involuntarily assign, mortgage, encumber
or hypothecate any interest in this Master Lease or sublet any portion of
the
Premises (except if the Business is an assisted living facility, in the ordinary
course of Tenant's business to occupants of the Premises or their immediate
family members using Tenant's standard form occupancy lease). Any of the
foregoing acts without such consent shall be void and shall, at Landlord's
sole
option, constitute an Event of Default giving rise to Landlord's right, among
other things, to terminate this Master Lease. An assignment of this Master
Lease
by Tenant shall be deemed to include: (a) entering into a management or similar
agreement relating to the operation or control of any portion of the Premises
with a Person that is not an Affiliate of Tenant; provided, however, that
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such a management
agreement provided that the proposed manager has a general business reputation
for providing quality healthcare services reasonably compatible with the
services provided by Tenant and manages or operates a building or buildings
comparable to the Facilities; (b) any change (voluntary or involuntary, by
operation of law or otherwise, including the transfer, assignment, sale,
hypothecation or other disposition of any equity interest in Tenant) in the
Person that ultimately exert effective Control over the management of the
affairs of Tenant as of the date hereof; provided that an initial public
offering of Tenant (and the public trading of shares thereafter) shall not
be
deemed to be an assignment of the Lease so long as thereafter no Person or
related group that did not have such ownership before the initial public
offering holds twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting
stock of Tenant without the prior consent of Landlord; or (c) the sale or
other
transfer of all or any portion of any certificate of need, bed rights or
other
similar certificate or license relating to any portion of the Business or
any
portion of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without
Landlord's prior written consent, assign this Master Lease or sublet the
Premises or any portion thereof to an Affiliate of Tenant or Guarantor if
all of
the following are first satisfied: (i) such Affiliate fully assumes Tenant's
obligations hereunder (in the case of an assignment); (ii) Tenant remains
fully
liable hereunder and Guarantor remains fully liable under the Guaranty; (iii)
the use of the Premises remains unchanged; and (iv) Landlord in its reasonable
discretion shall have approved the form and content of all documents for
such
assignment or sublease and received an executed counterpart thereof. In
addition, Tenant may, with Landlord's prior written consent, which consent
shall
not be unreasonably withheld, if the proposed assignee, transferee or sublessee
is not an Affiliate of Tenant or Guarantor but is a reputable person or entity
of good character, having sufficient experience, assets and income, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, to bear the financial responsibilities of
Tenant
under this Master Lease and of Guarantor under the Guaranty, and (v) such
person
or entity has a general business reputation for providing quality healthcare
services reasonably compatible with the services provided by Tenant and operates
a building or buildings comparable to the Facilities; (w) such person or
entity
fully assumes Tenant's obligations hereunder and Guarantor's obligations
under
the Guaranty (in which event Tenant and Guarantor shall be released from
their
respective obligations under this Master Lease and the Guaranty arising from
and
after the effective date of the assumption); (x) the use of the Premises
under
the terms of such assignment or sublease is permitted by Section 7.1
hereof and (y) Landlord in its reasonable discretion shall have approved
the
form and content of all documents for such assignment or sublease and received
an executed counterpart thereof. In no event shall Tenant sublet any portion
of
the Premises on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee
would
be based, in whole or in part, on either the income or profits derived by
the
business activities of the sublessee, or any other formula, such that any
portion of the sublease rental received by Landlord would fail to qualify
as
"rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the reduction
or
elimination of the equity interests of Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund
III,
L.P., Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund IV, L.P. or any other Affiliates
of
such entities in Tenant or Guarantor shall not be deemed or construed to
be a
change the Person that ultimately exerts effective Control over the management
of the affairs of the Tenant so long as Guarantor or its Affiliate continues
to
manage the operations at the Premises, and (ii) with Landlord's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, there shall be
no
restrictions on changes in ownership (directly or indirectly) in Guarantor
nor
any restriction on the ability of Guarantor to merge into or engage in any
business combination with any Person, so long as (A) Tenant complies, in
all
material respects, with any applicable licensing requirements arising out
of any
such change of ownership, merger or other business combination, (B) Guarantor
remains fully liable for its obligations under the Guaranty (in the event
that
Guarantor remains a successor entity), (C) the proposed acquirer is not an
Affiliate of Guarantor but is a reputable person or entity of good character,
having sufficient experience, assets and income, in Landlord's reasonable
judgment, to bear the financial responsibilities of Guarantor under the
Guaranty, (D) such person or entity has a general business reputation for
providing quality healthcare services reasonably compatible with the services
provided by Tenant and operates a building or buildings comparable to the
Facilities; (E) such person or entity guaranties the obligations of Tenant
under
this Master Lease; and (F) Landlord in its reasonable discretion shall have
approved the form and content of all material documents relating to such
transaction and received an executed counterpart thereof.
20
17. Damage
by Fire or Other Casualty. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of
any damage or destruction of the Premises and diligently repair or reconstruct
the Premises to a like or better condition than existed prior to such damage
or
destruction in accordance with Section 8.4. Any net insurance proceeds
payable with respect to the casualty shall be paid directly to Landlord and,
if
an Event of Default has not occurred hereunder, used for the repair or
reconstruction of the Premises pursuant to Landlord's reasonable disbursement
requirements. If such proceeds are insufficient, Tenant shall provide the
required additional funds; if they are more than sufficient, the surplus
shall
belong and be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall not have any right under this
Master
Lease, and hereby waives all rights under applicable law, to xxxxx, reduce
or
offset rent by reason of any damage or destruction of the Premises by reason
of
an insured or uninsured casualty.
18. Condemnation.
Except as provided to the contrary in this Section 18, this
Master Lease shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect
in
the event of a taking or condemnation of the Premises, or any portion thereof,
and Tenant hereby waives all rights under applicable law to xxxxx, reduce
or
offset rent by reason of such taking. If during the Term all or substantially
all (a "Complete Taking") or a smaller portion (a
"Partial Taking") of any Facility is taken or condemned
by any
competent public or quasi-public authority, then (a) in the case of a Complete
Taking, Tenant may at its election made within thirty (30) days of the
effective date of such Taking, terminate this Master Lease with respect to
such
Facility and the current Rent shall be equitably abated as of the effective
date
of such termination, or (b) in the case of a Partial Taking, the Rent shall
be
abated to the same extent as the resulting diminution in Fair Market Value
of
the applicable portion of the Premises. The resulting diminution in Fair
Market
Value on the effective date of a Partial Taking shall be as established pursuant
to Exhibit C. In the event this Master Lease is terminated as to any
Facility under this Section 18, then the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent
due
hereunder shall be shall be reduced by the product of (x) the amount of the
then
current Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, and (y) a fraction, the numerator
of
which is the amount received by Landlord as a result of the Complete Taking
and
the denominator of which is Landlord's Camelot Investment and Landlord's
Lakeview/HillenVale Investment. Landlord alone shall be entitled to receive
and
retain any award for a taking or condemnation other than a temporary taking;
provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to submit its own claim in
the event of any such taking or condemnation with respect to the value of
Tenant's leasehold interest in any portion of the Premises and/or the relocation
costs incurred by Tenant as a result thereof. In the event of a temporary
taking
of less than all or substantially all of the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled
to receive and retain any and all awards for the temporary taking and the
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due under this Master Lease shall be not
be
abated during the period of such temporary taking.
21
19. Indemnification.
Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless
Landlord, its directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees from
and
against any and all foreseeable or unforeseeable liability, expense, loss,
cost,
deficiency, fine, penalty or damage (including consequential damages) of
any
kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees, from any suits, claims
or
demands, on account of any matter or thing, action or failure to act arising
out
of or in connection with this Master Lease, the Premises or the operations
of
Tenant on any portion of the Premises, including (a) the breach by Tenant
of any
of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations hereunder,
(b) any Protest, (c) all known and unknown Environmental Activities on any
portion of the Premises, Hazardous Materials Claims or violations by Tenant
of a
Hazardous Materials Law with respect to any portion of the Premises, and
(d)
upon or following the Termination Date, the correction of all
deficiencies of a physical nature identified by, and any liability assessed
or
asserted by, any governmental agency or Medicare or Medicaid providers as
a
result of or arising out of or in connection with this Master Lease or the
related change of ownership inspection and audit (including any overpayment
to
any Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payor); but specifically excluding
any such liability, expense, loss, cost, deficiency, fine, penalty or damages
arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or due
to a
breach by Landlord of its obligations under this Master Lease. Upon receiving
knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that Landlord
believes is covered by this indemnity, it shall give Tenant notice of the
matter. If Landlord does not elect to defend the matter with its own counsel
at
Tenant's expense, Tenant shall then defend Landlord at Tenant's expense
(including Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) with legal counsel
satisfactory to Landlord
20. Disputes.
If any party brings any action to interpret or enforce this
Master
Lease, or for damages for any alleged breach, the prevailing party shall
be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs as awarded by the court
in
addition to all other recovery, damages and costs. EACH PARTY HEREBY
WAIVES ANY RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS MASTER LEASE, INCLUDING RELATIONSHIP OF
THE PARTIES, TENANT'S USE AND OCCUPANCY OF ANY PORTION OF THE
PREMISES, OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE RELATING TO THE
FOREGOING OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY
REMEDY.
21. Notices.
All notices and demands, certificates, requests, consents,
approvals and other similar instruments under this Master Lease shall be

A

may designate a different address by notice as provided above. Any notice
or
other instrument so delivered (whether accepted or refused) shall be deemed
to
have been given and received on the date of delivery established by U.S.
Post
Office return receipt or the carrier's proof of delivery or, if not so
delivered, upon its receipt. Delivery to any officer, general partner or
principal of a party shall be deemed delivery to such party.
22. Miscellaneous.
Since each party has been represented by counsel and this Master
Lease
has
been freely and fairly negotiated, all provisions shall be interpreted according
to their fair meaning and shall not be strictly construed against any party.
While nothing contained in this Master Lease should be deemed or construed
to
constitute an extension of credit by Landlord to Tenant, if a portion of
any
payment made to Landlord is deemed to violate any applicable laws regarding
usury, such portion shall be held by Landlord to pay the future obligations
of
Tenant as such obligations arise and if Tenant discharges and performs all
obligations hereunder, such funds will be reimbursed (without interest) to
Tenant on the Termination Date. If any part of this Master Lease shall be
determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall nevertheless
continue in full force and effect. Time is of the essence, and whenever action
must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents)
hereunder during a certain period of time or by a particular date that ends
or
occurs on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, then such period or date
shall
be extended until the immediately following business day. Whenever the words
"including", "include" or "includes" are used in this Master Lease, they
shall
be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner as though the words "without
limitation" immediately followed. Whenever the words day or days are used
in
this Master Lease, they shall mean "calendar day" or "calendar days" unless
expressly provided to the contrary. The titles and headings in this Master
Lease
are for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the
meaning or construction of any provision. Unless otherwise expressly provided,
references to any "Section" mean a section of this Master Lease (including
all
subsections), to any "Exhibit" or "Schedule" mean an exhibit or schedule
attached hereto or to "Medicare" or "Medicaid" include any successor program.
If
more than one Person is Tenant hereunder, their liability and obligations
hereunder shall be joint and several. Promptly upon the request of either
party
and at its expense, the parties shall prepare, enter into and record a suitable
short form memorandum of this Master Lease. This Master Lease (a) contains
the
entire agreement of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior or contemporaneous verbal or written agreements or understandings,
(b)
may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document, (c)
may
only be amended by a writing executed by the parties, (d) shall inure to
the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the
parties, (e) shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with
the internal laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to the conflict of
laws
rules thereof, and (f) incorporates by this reference any Exhibits and Schedules
attached hereto.
23
23. Option
to Purchase. Provided no Event of Default exists on the Call
Exercise Date or the closing date, Tenant shall have the option to purchase
all
but not less than all the Premises by giving Landlord written notice thereof
(the "Call Exercise Date") not more than fifteen (15) days
before or after the date which is fifteen (15) months prior to the
end of the then current Term. The purchase price shall be the greater of
(a)
Landlord's Camelot Investment and Landlord's Lakeview/HillenVale Investment,
compounded each year after the commencement date of this Master Lease at
a rate
of three percent (3%) per annum, or (b) Landlord's Camelot
Investment and Landlord's Lakeview/HillenVale Investment plus
fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the Fair
Market Value on the Call Exercise Date as established pursuant to Exhibit
C exceeds Landlord's Camelot Investment and Landlord's
Lakeview/HillenVale Investment; provided that, if such Fair Market Value
has not
been finally determined within one hundred twenty days after the Call Exercise
Date, Tenant's rights under this Section 23 shall terminate and
thereafter be null and void and of no further force or effect. Once the purchase
price is so established: (i) the parties shall sign the standard sale escrow
instructions of a national title company (selected by Landlord and reasonably
approved by Tenant) that are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to
Landlord and Tenant and without representations or warranties, due diligence
or
other contingencies in favor of Tenant except as otherwise provide for herein;
(ii) Tenant shall deposit three percent (3%) of the purchase
price with the title company, which may be retained by Landlord as liquidated
damages as a result of the failure of escrow to close solely for any breach
by
Tenant of these terms or the escrow instructions (and which in no way shall
liquidate or limit Landlord's damages by reason of any other breach of this
Master Lease); (iii) the escrow shall close on the last day of the then current
Term, at which time Tenant shall pay the purchase price in cash and Landlord
shall deliver title to each of the Facilities subject only to those title
exceptions shown in Exhibit D by customary limited warranty deed and
other customary conveyancing documents; and (iv) Tenant shall pay all
transaction costs. If Tenant fails to close the escrow for any reason other
than
a breach by Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to extend the Term
for
an additional one (1) year period during which the Rent shall be
calculated as if on the Call Exercise Date Tenant had instead exercised its
right to extend the Term for a Renewal Term.
24. Memorandum
of Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Master Lease, enter into a short form memorandum
of this Master Lease, in form suitable for recording in the counties in which
each of the Facilities are located. The short form memorandum shall be recorded
in such county and state to provide constructive notice of this Master Lease
and
of the existence of Tenant's option to purchase set forth
hereinabove.
24
25. 1031
Exchange. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may elect to consummate
the
purchase of the Lakeview Facility and HillenVale Facility as a reverse like-kind
exchange within the meaning of Section 1031 of Code (the "Exchange").
If Landlord so elects, Landlord may enter into a Qualified
Exchange
Accommodation Agreement (the "QEAA") with
an
"Exchange Accommodation Titleholder" (an "EAT") as that
term
is defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2000-37, 2000-40
I.R.B.
1 (September 15, 2000) for the purpose of effectuating such Exchange. In
such
event, Tenant acknowledges that an EAT, rather than Landlord, shall take
title
to the Lakeview Facility and HillenVale Facility and shall lease the Lakeview
Facility and HillenVale Facility to Landlord pursuant to a written lease
(the
"Exchange
Lease"); provided, however, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and
agree that Tenant shall have no obligations under such Exchange Lease and
Tenant's only duties, covenants, obligations and liabilities shall be those
set
forth in this Master Lease and the transaction documents relating thereto
to
which Tenant is a party. Upon the completion or the termination of such Exchange
(which shall occur no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the
Effective Date), Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord may elect to either
(a)
acquire title to the Lakeview Facility and HillenVale Facility, terminate
the
Exchange Lease and continue this Master Lease, or (b) acquire the equity
interests in such EAT, terminate the Exchange Lease and cause such EAT to
