AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
This AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (the “Lease”) is dated this 21st day of March, 2016 (to become immediately effective upon the Effective Date (as herein defined), and is by and among the entities listed on Schedule 1-A attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference and incorporation (collectively, jointly and severally, the “Lessor”), having their principal office at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and the entities listed on Schedule 1-B attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference and incorporation (collectively, jointly and severally, the “Lessee”), having their principal office at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000.
STATEMENT OF INTENT
Subject to Articles V, XIV, XV, XXX and Section 16.1, this Lease constitutes one unitary, indivisible, non-severable true lease of all the Leased Property. This Lease does not constitute separate leases contained in one document each governed by similar terms. The use of the expression “unitary lease” to describe this Lease is not merely for convenient reference. It is the conscious choice of a substantive appellation to express the intent of Lessor and Lessee in regard to an integral part of this transaction, which is to accomplish the creation of an indivisible lease. Lessor and Lessee agree that from an economic point of view the portions of the Leased Property leased pursuant to this Lease constitute one economic unit and that the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based upon a lease of all the portions of the Leased Property as a single, composite, inseparable transaction. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), all provisions of this Lease, including definitions, commencement and expiration dates, rental provisions, use provisions, renewal provisions, breach, default, enforcement, termination and assignment and subletting provisions, shall apply equally and uniformly to all the Leased Property as one unit and are not severable. The economic terms of this Lease would have been substantially different had separate leases or a “divisible” lease been acceptable to Lessor. A default of any of the terms or conditions of this Lease occurring with respect to any particular Property shall constitute a default under this Lease with respect to all the Leased Property. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), Lessor and Lessee agree that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied such that the intention of Lessor and Lessee to create a unitary lease shall be preserved and maintained. Lessor and Lessee agree that for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365 or any amendment or successor section thereof, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease dealing with and covering 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.
W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Master Lease Agreement dated August 31, 2015, as amended by that certain Joinder and Amendment to Master Lease Agreement dated as of October 30, 2015 (the “Original Lease”), the MPT TRS Entities subleased the Land and Leased Improvements to Lessee;
WHEREAS, this Lease is being entered into in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Capella Health Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, RegionalCare Hospital Partners Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Crimson Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Merger Agreement”) (it is acknowledged and agreed that this Lease has been executed and delivered on the date set forth in the preamble and shall be automatically effective as of the “Closing” under the Merger Agreement (the “Effective Date”), without any further action of the parties);
2
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Termination of Lease and Related Documents, dated as of the date hereof and to effective upon the Effective Date, the Master Lease shall be terminated and Lessor shall become the lessor under the Original Lease (it is acknowledged and agreed that if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms at any time prior to the Closing Date (as therein defined), then this Lease shall also terminate ab initio and be of no further force or effect simultaneously with such termination, and the Original Lease shall remain in full force and effect); and

Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. Unless otherwise indicated, the words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The words “herein”, “hereof and “hereunder” and words of similar import shall be deemed to refer to this Lease (including the Schedules and Exhibits) in its entirety and not to any part hereof, unless the context shall otherwise require. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed to refer to Articles, Sections and Schedules of, and Exhibits to, this Lease, unless the context shall otherwise require.

Any reference in this Lease to a “day” or number of “days” that does not refer explicitly to a “Business Day” or “Business Days” shall be interpreted as a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) all financial statements delivered hereunder shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without giving effect to an election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any similar accounting principal) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair market value thereof, and (y) any obligations of a Person under a lease (whether now existing or entered into in the future) that is not (or would not be) a finance obligation under GAAP as in effect on the Commencement Date, shall not be treated as a finance obligation solely as a result of the adoption of changes in GAAP outlined by Leases, Topic 842, issued as Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 in February 2016.

ARTICLE II.
LEASED PROPERTY; TERM
Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Lessor leases to Lessee and Lessee rents from Lessor all of Lessor’s rights and interest in and to the following property (collectively, and as modified from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Lease, the “Leased Property”):
(a) the Land; and
(b) the existing improvements on the Land and the buildings and any improvements constructed on the Land, including, but not limited to, all buildings, structures, Fixtures and other improvements of every kind, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines (on-site and off-site), parking areas and roadways appurtenant to such buildings and structures presently or hereafter situated upon the Land, Capital Additions and all hereditaments, easements, rights of way and other appurtenances related thereto (collectively, the “Leased Improvements”).
29
SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to all applicable matters of record and any other matters as set forth on Exhibits B-1 et seq. (the “Permitted Exceptions”), Lessee shall have and hold the Leased Property for a fixed term (the “Fixed Term”) commencing on the Commencement Date and ending at midnight on the last day of the One Hundred Sixty-Second (162nd) full month after the Initial Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated as herein provided.
So long as no Event of Default then exists and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, Lessee shall have the option to extend the Fixed Term on the same terms and conditions set forth herein for four (4) additional periods of five (5) years each (each an “Extension Term”); which extension option may be exercised with respect to any or all of the Properties. In the event that, prior to the expiration of the Fixed Term, Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842), or any other accounting standard or official pronouncement of United States generally accepted accounting principles is adopted, which causes this Lease not to be an operating lease as defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, then Lessor and Lessee shall discuss potential alternative renewal terms under this Lease. With respect to the third (3rd) Extension Term, the Base Rent during the first year of the third (3rd) Extension Term shall be an amount equal to the Fair Market Value Rent as of the first day of such Extension Term (but in no event less than the annual Base Rent payable by Lessee during the last year of the second (2nd) Extension Term) and shall thereafter be increased as set forth in Section 3.1(b), including the fourth (4th) Extension Term, if applicable. Lessee may exercise each such option by giving written notice to Lessor at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Fixed Term or Extension Term, as applicable (the “Extension Notice”). If, during the period following the delivery of the Extension Notice to Lessor and prior to the effective date of such extension, an Event of Default shall occur which is continuing on the commencement date of the Extension Term, at Lessor’s option, the Term shall not be so extended and Lessee shall be deemed to have forfeited all subsequent options to extend the Fixed Term of this Lease. If Lessee elects not to exercise its option to extend with respect to any one or more of the Properties, all subsequent options to extend with respect to such Properties shall be deemed to have lapsed and be of no further force or effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Lease is expressly made subject to the terms and conditions of the Oklahoma Ground Lease and the Kershaw Medical Center Lease, copies of which have been provided to Lessee prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if (a) during (i) the final Extension Term of this Lease, the Oklahoma Ground Lease expires by its terms, or (ii) during the Term, the Kershaw Medical Center Lease expires by its terms, in either case, without Lessor or Lessee being able to negotiate an extension of the respective terms thereof acceptable to the parties, or (b) Lessor rejects the Oklahoma Ground Lease or the Kershaw Medical Center Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, the Base Rent shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2. To the extent either the Oklahoma Ground Lease or the Kershaw Medical Center Lease have any renewal options that cover a period during the Term, Lessee and Lessor agree that Lessor shall exercise such renewal options.
30
ARTICLE III.
RENT
3.1. Rent. During the Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in advance and without notice, demand, set off or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America, at Lessor’s address set forth herein or at such other place or to such other person, firm or entity as Lessor may designate from time to time in writing in accordance with Article XXXII, the Rent as provided in this Lease. Lessor has the sole discretion to determine the method of payment of Rent, and will require that such payments initially be forwarded to Lessor utilizing the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Network. Lessee shall take all reasonably necessary steps and bear any and all reasonable costs associated with utilizing ACH to timely deliver payments of Rent to Lessor. All payments of Rent made through ACH remain payments of Rent and, as such, are subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the default provisions. With respect to each Facility, Rent shall be calculated and payable as follows:
(a) Allocated Base Rent. With respect to each Property, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including adjustments set forth in Section 3.1(b) below), Lessee shall pay to Lessor in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term base rent allocated thereto (the “Allocated Base Rent”) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Lease Base for such Property as of the last day of the immediately preceding month (or as of the Commencement Date with respect to the amount payable for the first month of the Term), multiplied by (ii) the Lease Rate, divided by (iii) twelve (12); provided, however, if the Commencement Date with respect to such Property is other than the first day of a calendar month, Allocated Base Rent for the period from the Commencement Date for such Property to the first day of the first (1st) full month shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be paid on the Commencement Date. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the Allocated Base Rent is payable in advance and, accordingly, with respect to additions to the Lease Base and Capital Additions funded by Lessor with respect to any Property on or after the first (1st) day of any month (and, therefore, not included in the calculation of the Allocated Base Rent paid in advance for a particular month with respect to such Property), Allocated Base Rent shall include a per diem Allocated Base Rent for the prior month (prorated based upon a three hundred sixty (360) day year in the same manner as set forth above) to be calculated by multiplying the amount of any such advance by the Lease Rate for such Property. Lessor shall provide Lessee with an invoice of such amounts prior to the first day of the next calendar month (the “Interim Capital Addition Rent”); provided, however, Lessor’s failure to provide Lessee with an invoice for the Interim Capital Addition Rent relating to any Property prior to the first day of the next calendar month shall not limit or affect the Lessee’s obligations hereunder to pay such Interim Capital Addition Rent. Allocated Base Rent and Interim Capital Addition Rent relating to each Property shall be payable in advance in equal, consecutive monthly installments.
31
(b) Adjustment of Allocated Base Rent. With respect to each Property, commencing on January 1, 2017, and continuing on each January 1 thereafter (each an “Adjustment Date”) during the Term, the Lease Rate applicable to such Property shall be increased (and in no event decreased) and shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Lease Rate for such Property previously in effect, and (ii) the product of such previous Lease Rate multiplied by the greater of (A) Two Percent (2.0%) and (B) the percentage by which the CPI published for the month of October prior to the applicable Adjustment Date shall have increased over the CPI figure published for the month of October prior to the previous Adjustment Date (the CPI figure published for the month of October 2015 shall be used in connection with the recalculation on January 1, 2017) (such escalator used in calculating the adjusted Lease Rate being referred to herein as the “Escalator”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Escalator be greater than Four Percent (4.0%) on any Adjustment Date; provided further, however, that on the first day of the third Extension Term, the Allocable Base Rent for each Property shall be reset to the Fair Market Value Rent (but in no event less than the annual Base Rent payable by Lessee during the last year of the second (2nd) Extension Term), and on each Adjustment Date thereafter, the Allocable Base Rent shall increase by an amount equal to the Escalator. For any monetary increases or adjustments that cannot be determined as of the applicable Adjustment Date due to then unknown variables (such as CPI), such amounts shall become due (and calculated retroactively to the Adjustment Date) and payable as of the time of determination.
(c) Rent Schedule. From time to time during the Term, Lessor may, in its reasonable discretion, calculate the Base Rent and Interim Capital Addition Rent payable hereunder (the “Rent Schedule”), and provide a copy of such Rent Schedule to Lessee. Base Rent, as calculated in accordance with Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) above, shall include Interim Capital Addition Rent and Allocated Base Rent payable with respect to the entire Leased Property. The Rent Schedule shall be adjusted and substituted on a periodic basis by Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, as the Interim Capital Addition Rent and Base Rent are adjusted and calculated during the Term as provided herein. Lessor’s failure to provide a copy of the Rent Schedule or substitute or adjusted Rent Schedule shall not limit or affect the Lessee’s obligations hereunder.
3.2. Additional Charges. In addition to the Base Rent and the Oklahoma Ground Lease Rent that Lessee assumes or agrees to pay under this Lease, (a) Lessee will pay and discharge as and when due and payable other amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions related to the ownership, use, possession and operation of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all costs of owning and operating each Facility, all Real Estate Taxes, Insurance Premiums, maintenance and capital improvements, all violations of and defaults under any of the Permitted Exceptions, and all licensure violations, civil monetary penalties and fines, and (b) in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any of those items referred to in clause (a) above, Lessee will also promptly pay and reimburse Lessor, and/or its Affiliates for all such amounts paid by Lessor, and/or its Affiliates and promptly pay and discharge every fine,
32
penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of such items (the items referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above being referred to herein collectively as the “Additional Charges”), and Lessor shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided in this Lease, by statute, or otherwise, in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges, as in the case of the Base Rent. If any installment of Base Rent or Additional Charges shall not be paid within five (5) Business Days after the applicable due date, Lessee, in addition to all other obligations hereunder, will pay to Lessor on demand as Additional Charges, a late charge computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof, and a Late Payment Penalty with respect to such installment. To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor pursuant to clause (b) above or pursuant to any other requirement of this Lease, Lessee shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which they would otherwise be due. Nothing in this Section 3.2 limits the provisions of Article XXII.
3.3. Rent and Payments under the Oklahoma Ground Lease. Lessee shall pay all rent and all other charges and amounts due and payable under the Oklahoma Ground Lease (collectively, the “Oklahoma Ground Lease Rent”) during the Term directly to the “Landlord” thereunder as and when the same becomes due and payable as required under the Oklahoma Ground Lease, and Lessee shall provide Lessor with reasonable evidence of payment each month confirming that the Oklahoma Ground Lease Rent has been timely paid.
3.4. Rent and Payments under the Kershaw Medical Center Lease. Lessee shall pay all rent and all other charges and amounts due and payable under the Kershaw Medical Center Lease (collectively, the “Kershaw Lease Rent”) during the Term directly to the “Landlord” thereunder as and when the same becomes due and payable as required under the Kershaw Medical Center Lease, and Lessee shall provide Lessor with reasonable evidence of payment each month confirming that the Kershaw Lease Rent has been timely paid.
ARTICLE IV.
IMPOSITIONS
4.1. Payment of Impositions. Subject to and without limiting Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, with such payments to be made directly to the taxing or assessing authorities, and Lessee will promptly furnish to Lessor copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Lessee’s obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date that any such Imposition becomes a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof. If any such Imposition may lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Lessee may, with Lessor’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term
33
(subject to and without limiting Lessee’s right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article XII) as the same respectively become due. Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by governmental authorities in respect of Lessor’s net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Lessee, at its expense, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by governmental authorities. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority with respect to any Imposition paid by Lessee, the same shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee. Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide any data (i) that is maintained by the party to whom the request is made, and (ii) that pertains to the Leased Property, as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event that any Governmental Body classifies any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Lessee shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, 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. In the event that Lessor is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Lessee will be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Lessee to file a protest. After obtaining written approval from Lessor, which approval shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Lessee may, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Lessee may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments, and Lessor, at Lessee’s expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action. Xxxxxxxx for reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of personal property taxes shall be accompanied by copies of a xxxx therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are made.
4.2. Adjustment of Impositions. Impositions that are levied or assessed with respect to the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates, shall be adjusted and prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Lessee’s obligation to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such termination.
4.3. Utility Charges. Lessee will contract for, in its own name, and will pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, sewer, water and other utilities used in connection with the Leased Property during the Term, including, without limitation, all impact and tap fees necessary for the operation of the Facilities, except to the extent that such impact and tap fees were or are to be paid by Lessor as part of the cost of a Capital Addition.
4.4. Insurance Premiums. Lessee shall contract for, in its own name, and shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article XIII during the Term (the “Insurance Premiums”).

ARTICLE V.
ABSOLUTE NET LEASE; NO TERMINATION;
TERMINATION WITH RESPECT
TO FEWER THAN ALL PROPERTIES
5.1. Absolute Net Lease; No Termination. The parties understand, acknowledge and agree that this is an absolute net lease and this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Base Rent and the payments of Additional Charges throughout the Term. Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that all charges, assessments or payments of any kind are due and payable without notice, demand, set off or counterclaim (other than notices to Lessee that are expressly required hereunder) and shall be paid by Lessee as they become due and payable. Lessee shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall neither take any action without the consent of Lessor to modify, surrender or terminate the same, nor seek nor be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent (except as expressly provided herein), or set-off against the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Lessor and Lessee be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to, or destruction of, any Property from whatever cause or any Taking of any Property or any portion thereof (except as expressly provided herein), (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Lessee’s use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference with such use by any person, corporation, partnership or other entity, or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim which Lessee has or might have against Lessor or by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Lessor under this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, or to which Lessor and Lessee are parties, (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor, or (e) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing other than a discharge of Lessee from any such obligations as a matter of law. Lessee hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law to (i) modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (ii) entitle Lessee to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. The obligations of Lessor and Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Lessee hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease other than by reason of an Event of Default.
5.2. Termination with Respect to Fewer than All Properties. Wherever in this Lease the action of terminating this Lease with respect to a particular Property (or action of similar import) is described or permitted, such action shall mean the termination of Lessee’s rights in and to such Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if this Lease shall be terminated by Lessor or Lessee pursuant to rights granted hereunder with respect to any particular Property, such termination shall not affect the Term of this Lease with respect to the balance of the Leased Property relating to Properties not so terminated and this Lease shall
35
continue in full force and effect with respect to such portion of the Leased Property, except that (a) the total Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of Allocated Base Rent with respect to the Property as to which this Lease has been so terminated, (b) all references herein to Leased Property shall thereafter no longer include such terminated Property, (c) the terminated Property shall no longer be leased hereunder, (d) the unapplied portion of the Allocated Deposit with respect to such Property shall be returned to the applicable Facility Lessee; and (e) provided that all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder with respect to such portion of the Leased Property (excluding unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full to Lessor, the relevant Facility Lessee shall no longer be a Facility Lessee hereunder or a party hereto with respect to such Property (and for the avoidance of doubt, if all Properties of a Facility Lessee shall have been so terminated, such Facility Lessee shall no longer be a Facility Lessee hereunder or a party hereto); subject, however, to Lessor’s right, in the event of any such termination because of an Event of Default, to recover damages with respect to any such terminated Property. Notwithstanding any term or provision herein to the contrary, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the Oklahoma Property may be severed from this Lease in the event Lessor sells or conveys the Oklahoma Property pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Strategic Agreement and, in such event, the parties take the necessary actions described in said Section 4.1.
ARTICLE VI.
OWNERSHIP OF LEASED PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
6.1. Ownership of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges that the Leased Improvements located on the Oklahoma Ground Leased Land and the Kershaw Leased Land will revert to the “Landlord” under the Oklahoma Ground Lease and the Kershaw Medical Center Lease, respectively, upon the expiration of the Oklahoma Ground Lease and the Kershaw Medical Center Lease, respectively, and that Lessee has only the right to the possession and use of the Oklahoma Property and Kershaw Property as a sublessee of Lessor and upon and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, the Oklahoma Ground Lease, the Kershaw Medical Center Lease and the Existing Subleases.
6.2. Lessee’s Personal Property. Lessee, at its expense, shall install, affix, assemble and place on the Leased Property the Lessee’s Personal Property. Lessee shall provide and maintain during the entire Term all such Lessee’s Personal Property as shall be necessary to operate each Property in compliance in all material respects with all licensure and certification requirements, in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, and otherwise substantially in accordance with customary practice in the industry for the Primary Intended Use. Following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any one or more of the Properties and subject to Lessor’s option to purchase such Lessee Personal Property as provided in Section 34.1, Lessee agrees that all of Lessee’s Personal Property relating to such one or more Properties not removed by Lessee within fifteen (15) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect thereto shall be considered abandoned by Lessee and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise
36
disposed of by Lessor (at Lessee’s cost) with prior written notice thereof to Lessee, without any payment to Lessee and without any obligation to Lessee to account therefor. Lessee will, at its expense, restore the Leased Property and repair all damage to the Leased Property caused by the installation or removal of Lessee’s Personal Property, ordinary wear and tear excepted, whether affected by Lessee, Lessor, any Lessee lender, or any Facility Lender, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or any Facility Lender. Lessee shall have the right to create a security interest in the Lessee’s Personal Property in favor of any lender of Lessee, and Lessor hereby waives any liens on (all rights to assert any lien on) any of Lessee’s Personal Property. Lessor hereby agrees that Lessee’s lender may enter onto the Leased Property and take possession of the Lessee’s Personal Property in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and in such a manner as to not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the applicable Property; provided, that, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall be liable to repair any damage or destruction caused to the Leased Property by Lessee’s lender or its representatives in connection therewith.
ARTICLE VII.

Lessee is leasing the Leased Property “as is” and “where is” in its present condition.

7.2. Use of the Leased Property. Each Property (other than the Kershaw Property) shall be operated as a licensed general acute care hospital facility and for such other legal ancillary uses as may be necessary in connection with or incidental to such uses and, in each case, subject to all covenants, restrictions, easements and all other matters of record (including those set forth in the Permitted Exceptions) relating to the applicable Property; provided that with respect to the Kershaw Property, (a) the portion of the Kershaw Leased Property on which the Kershaw Medical Center is located shall be used and operated as a general acute care hospital, (b) the portion of the Kershaw Leased Property on which the Elgin Center is located shall be used and operated as an outpatient services center, primary care facility and urgent care center, (c) all other portions of the Kershaw Property (excluding those described in clauses (a) and (b) above) shall be used and operated for commercial uses consistent with the current uses as of the Commencement Date for the Kershaw Property, and, in each case, for such other legal ancillary uses as may be necessary in connection with or incidental to such uses and, in each case, subject to all covenants, restrictions, easements, and all other matters of record (including those set forth in the Permitted Exceptions) (collectively, the “Primary Intended Use”). Lessee shall comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and shall maintain all Licenses, including, but not limited to, Medicare and/or Medicaid certifications, provider numbers and agreements, certificates of need, governmental approvals, and full accreditation from all applicable governmental authorities, if any, that are necessary for the operation of Business with respect to the applicable Property consistent with the Primary Intended Use.
(a) Except as expressly authorized herein, Lessee shall not use any Property for any use other than as provided herein, nor change the number or type of beds within any Facility, in either case, to the extent such change in use or decrease has a material adverse effect on the Primary Intended Use or the ability of the Lessee to meet its obligations under this Lease without the prior written consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property and no acts shall be done which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Leased Property or any part thereof, nor shall Lessee sell or otherwise provide to residents or patients therein, or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Leased Property any article which is prohibited by law or by the standard form of fire insurance policies, any other insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriters regulations.

(e) Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property or any portion thereof, including any Capital Addition whether or not funded by Lessor, or Lessee’s Personal Property, to be used in such a manner as (i) might reasonably tend to impair Lessor’s (or Lessee’s, as the case may be) title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (ii) may reasonably make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
(f) With respect to each Property, Lessor shall have the right and option to erect a sign on such Property stating that such Property is owned by Lessor.

Lessor shall be responsible for all costs related to such signage and complying with all Legal Requirements with respect to such signage.
7.3. Lessor to Grant Easements. From time to time during the Term, upon the request of Lessee, and so long as no Event of Default then exists, and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, Lessor may, in its reasonable discretion, subject to the terms of the Oklahoma Ground Lease (if applicable) and the Kershaw Medical Center Lease (if applicable), and at Lessee’s cost and expense, (a) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements, (b) release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Leased Property or any portion thereof; (c) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Leased Property for road, highway or other public purposes; (d) execute petitions to have the Leased Property or any portion thereof annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district; (e) execute amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof; and (f) execute and deliver to any person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and transfers (to the extent of its interest in the Leased Property), but only upon delivery to Lessor of such information as Lessor may reasonably require confirming that such grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is required for, and not materially detrimental to, the proper conduct of the Primary Intended Use on the Leased Property and does not reduce the value of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
ARTICLE VIII.
LEGAL AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
8.1. Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements. Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee, at its expense, (a) shall comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements applicable to Lessee and the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Facilities and the Leased Property, whether or not compliance therewith shall require structural change in any of the Leased Improvements
39
or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property; (b) shall not use the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property for any unlawful purpose; (c) shall procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all Licenses and other governmental approvals and authorizations required for any use of the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property then being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any Capital Additions; and (d) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its rights under the Tenant Leases to cause all Tenants to acquire and maintain all licenses, certificates, permits, provider agreements and other authorizations and approvals necessary to operate in its customary manner any portion of the Leased Property subleased to them for the Primary Intended Uses and any other uses conducted on the Leased Property as may be permitted from time to time hereunder, it being acknowledged by Lessor that any failure by any Tenant under this clause (d) shall not cause (or be deemed to cause) a breach by Lessee of this Section 8.1 unless Lessee has so failed to use commercially reasonable efforts. Lessee’s use of the Leased Property, the use of all Lessee’s Personal Property used in connection with the Leased Property, and the maintenance, alteration, and operation of the same, and all parts thereof, shall at all times conform in all material respects to all Legal Requirements. Upon Lessor’s request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all such Licenses and other approvals and authorizations. Lessee shall indemnify and defend, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and hold Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns harmless from and against and agrees to reimburse Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns with respect to any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, at any time and from time to time by reason or arising out of any breach by Lessee of any of the provisions of this Article VIII or any breach or violation by Lessee of any Legal Requirements, including any and all such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses relating to immaterial violations or breaches of this Section 8.1, except to the extent arising solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its Affiliates.
8.2. Hazardous Materials.
(a) Lessee shall ensure that the Leased Property and the operation of the Business thereon complies in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws. Except for Hazardous Materials generated, used, installed, manufactured, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of in the normal course of business regarding the Primary Intended Use or the conduct of the Business (which Hazardous Materials shall be handled and disposed of in compliance in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws), Lessee shall not cause any Hazardous Materials to be installed, used, generated, manufactured, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of, or otherwise present in, on or under any Property or in connection with the conduct of the Business thereon in a manner that could result in a material violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws. Lessee shall take commercially reasonable precautions to ensure that no activity shall be undertaken on any Property or in connection with the operation of the Business thereon which would cause (a) any
40
Property to become a treatment, storage or disposal facility of hazardous waste, infectious waste, biomedical or medical waste, within the meaning of, or otherwise bring such Property within the ambit of RCRA as a treatment, storage or disposal facility, (b) a release of Hazardous Materials from any Property within the meaning of, or otherwise bring such Property within the ambit of, and as would give rise to material liability under CERCLA or XXXX or any similar Hazardous Materials Laws, (c) the discharge of Hazardous Materials into any watercourse, surface or subsurface of body of water or wetland, or the discharge into the atmosphere of any Hazardous Materials, except as authorized under a permit under any Hazardous Materials Laws, in a manner that would give rise to a material liability under Hazardous Materials Laws, or (d) a material violation or a material claim under RCRA, CERCLA, XXXX or any Hazardous Materials Laws. Lessee shall, at its sole cost, expense, risk and liability, remove or cause to be removed from any Property all Hazardous Materials generated in connection with the Primary Intended Use and as found in hospital and healthcare facilities, including, without limitation, all infectious waste materials, syringes, needles and any materials contaminated with bodily fluids of any type, character or description of whatsoever nature to the extent required to comply in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws. Lessee shall not dispose of any such infectious waste and Hazardous Materials in any receptacles used for the disposal of normal refuse to the extent such disposal is not in compliance in all material respects with any Hazardous Materials Laws.
(b) Lessee shall indemnify and defend, at its sole cost and expense, and hold harmless and reimburse the Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, (general and limited) partners, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “MPT Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, settlement costs, arbitration costs and any reasonable other expenses for investigating or defending any action or threatened action) (each, a “Claim”) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by any of the MPT Indemnified Parties at any time and from time to time by reason of, arising out of or resulting from (i) events, conditions or circumstances which occurred or existed on, under, in, about, to or from the Property prior to execution of this Agreement and that give rise to a liability under Hazardous Materials Laws, (ii) any liability under Hazardous Materials Laws arising out of the ownership or operation of the Property, or (iii) any Claim arising out of or, in connection with or resulting from any breach by Lessee of this Section 8.2 or any other violation of this Section 8.2 by any Person other than the MPT Indemnified Parties, including any and all such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses relating to immaterial violations or breaches of this Section 8.2 (collectively, “MPT Damages”), except to the extent any such Claim or MPT Damages is found to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any MPT Indemnified Party. All such MPT Damages shall be due and payable by Lessee, jointly and severally, within fifteen (15) days after any MPT Indemnified Party’s demand therefor.
41
(c) In the event any of the MPT Indemnified Parties has a claim for MPT Damages resulting from the assertion of liability by a third party, the applicable Facility Lessor will give Lessee notice of any such third-party claim, and Lessee shall be jointly and severally obligated to undertake the defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing. No Indemnitor shall settle any such third-party claim without the consent of the MPT Indemnified Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned or delayed. Any of the MPT Indemnified Parties may, by counsel, participate in such proceedings, negotiations or defense, at their own expense. The MPT Indemnified Parties shall furnish to Lessee in reasonable detail such information as the MPT Parties may have with respect to such claim, including all records and materials that are reasonably required in the defense of such third-party claim. In the event that Lessee does not collectively defend the third-party claim in a diligent manner, any MPT Indemnified Party will have the right (at Lessee’s sole expense) to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim and any Indemnitor may elect to participate in such proceedings, negotiations or defense at any time at their own expense. No MPT Indemnified Party shall settle any such third-party claim without the consent of Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d) Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that, based upon recent environmental reports relating to the Leased Property, the potential for environmental liability for conditions occurring prior to (or existing as of) the Effective Date for all Facilities is remote; provided, that such acknowledgment shall not limit or preclude any Claim by the MPT Indemnified Parties.
8.3. Healthcare Laws.
(a) Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that all compensation paid hereunder between the parties has been determined by the parties through good-faith and arm’s-length bargaining and is believed to represent fair market value for the Leased Property. No payment made under this Lease is contingent on the referral of any patient or any other business. Neither Lessor nor Lessee intends any portion of the payments made under this Lease to influence or reward the referral of any patients or other business that will be paid for from any state or federal health care insurance programs, including Medicare or any state medical assistance program.
(b) Lessee hereby covenants, warrants and represents to Lessor that throughout the Term, each Facility Lessee shall: (a) be validly licensed, Medicare and/or Medicaid certified, and, if required, accredited to operate the Facilities in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the State in which the applicable Facility is located, federal governmental authorities, and accrediting bodies, including, but not limited to, DHHS and CMS; (b) be certified by and the holder of valid provider agreements with Medicare/Medicaid issued by DHHS, DHS and/or CMS and shall remain so certified and shall remain such a holder of such licenses and Medicare and/or Medicaid certifications for it to operate in accordance with the Primary Intended Use; (c) be in substantial compliance with all state and federal laws, rules, regulations and procedures with regard to the operation of the Facility operated by such Facility Lessee, including, without limitation, substantial compliance under HIPAA; (d) operate the Facility operated by such Facility Lessee in a manner consistent with quality acute care services and sound reimbursement principles under the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs and as
42
required under state and federal law; and (e) not abandon, terminate, vacate or fail to renew any license, certification, accreditation, certificate, approval, permit, waiver, provider agreement or any other authorization which is required or material for the lawful and proper operation of the Facility operated by such Facility Lessee or in any way commit any act which will or could reasonably be expected to cause any such license, certification, accreditation, certificate, approval, permit, waiver, provider agreement or other authorization required to operate a Facility to be revoked by any federal, state or local governmental authority or accrediting body having jurisdiction thereof.
(c) Lessee represents, warrants and covenants that Lessee, this Lease and all Tenant Leases are, and at all times during the Term will be, in compliance in all material respects with all Healthcare Laws. In the event it is determined that any provision of this Lease is in violation of the Healthcare Laws, the parties in good faith shall renegotiate such provision so that same is in compliance with all Healthcare Laws. Lessee shall add to all of its third party agreements relating to any portion of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all Tenant Leases, that in the event it is determined that such agreement and/or Tenant Lease is in violation of the Healthcare Laws, such agreement and/or Tenant Lease shall be renegotiated so that same are in compliance with all Healthcare Laws. Lessee shall indemnify and defend, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and hold Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, harmless from and against, and shall reimburse Lessor, its Affiliates and their successors and assigns with respect to, any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, at any time and from time to time by reason, or arising out, of any breach by Lessee of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 8.3 or any violation of any Healthcare Laws by Lessee, including any and all such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses relating to immaterial violations or breaches of this Section 8.3.
8.4. Single Purpose Entity. Each Facility Lessee shall remain at all times during the Term a Single Purpose Entity in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Promptly following any written request by Lessor during the Term, each Facility Lessee shall provide Lessor with evidence that such Facility Lessee is a Single Purpose Entity and is in good standing in the state of its organization or incorporation and in the state in which the portion of the Leased Property relating to such Facility Lessee is located.
8.5. Organizational Covenants. Lessee shall not permit or suffer, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (a) any material amendment or modification of any Facility Lessee’s Organizational Documents or any material amendment or modification of any Organizational Documents of any constituent entity within such Facility Lessee, including, without limitation, any such amendment that changes such Facility Lessee’s status as a Single Purpose Entity or any amendment changing or modifying the governance or structure of, or changing the manager or managing member of, such Facility Lessee; (b) any dissolution or termination of any Facility Lessee’s existence or sale
43
of substantially all of any Facility Lessee’s assets, whether by sale, transfer, merger, consolidation or otherwise; or (c) a change in any Facility Lessee’s state of formation or any Facility Lessee’s name. Lessee has, simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, delivered to Lessor a true and complete copy of each Facility Lessee’s Organizational Documents. Lessee represents and warrants that the Organizational Documents (i) were duly executed and delivered; and (ii) are in full force and effect, binding upon the applicable Facility Lessee, and enforceable in accordance with their terms.
8.6. Representations and Warranties of Lessee. Each Facility Lessee is making the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto.
ARTICLE IX.
REPAIRS; RESERVES
9.1. Maintenance; Repair and Remodel.
(a) Lessee, at its expense, will keep the Leased Property and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto (and Lessee’s Personal Property) in good first class order and repair (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee’s use, any prior use, the elements, the age of the Leased Property or any portion thereof) and, except as otherwise provided in Article XIV and Article XV, with reasonable promptness, will make all necessary and appropriate repairs thereto of every kind and nature whether interior or exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed or otherwise), ordinary wear and tear excepted. All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably achievable, be at least equivalent in quality to the original work. Lessee will not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which is reasonably likely to materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any part thereof for the Primary Intended Use.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, from time to time Lessee may remodel, modify and make additions to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, which remodeling, modifications and additions are not Capital Additions (it being understood that Capital Additions are subject to the requirements of Article X hereof) but which are necessary or advisable for the Primary Intended Use and which permit Lessee to fully comply with its obligations as set forth in this Lease. Lessee shall undertake any such actions expeditiously and in a workmanlike manner and will not significantly alter the character or purpose, or detract from the value or operating efficiency of, the Leased Property nor significantly impair the revenue producing capability of the Leased Property nor adversely affect the ability of Lessee to comply with the provisions of this Lease.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Lessor shall not under any circumstances be required to build or rebuild any improvements on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations, or renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary or capital in nature, structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto in connection with this Lease, or to maintain the Leased Property in any way.
(e) Nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by Lessor shall be construed as (i) constituting the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor for the provision or performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof, or (ii) giving Lessee any right, power or permission to contract for, or permit the performance of, any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Lessor in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor in the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
(f) Unless Lessor conveys any of the Leased Property to Lessee pursuant to Section 34.2 of this Lease, Lessee will, upon the expiration or prior termination of the Term, vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in the condition in which the Leased Property was originally received from Lessor, except as improved, constructed, repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease and except for (i) ordinary wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Lessee to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair during the entire Term), (ii) damage caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, and (iii) damage or destruction as described in Article XIV or resulting from a Taking as described in Article XV, which Lessee is not required by the terms of this Lease to repair or restore.

10.1. [Reserved]
10.2. Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property.
(a) If no Event of Default has occurred, Lessee shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to construct or install Capital Additions on any Property with the prior written consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that such consent is not required with respect to any Capital Addition that will cost less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)). Lessee shall not be permitted to create any Lien on such Property in connection with such Capital Addition, except as provided in Section 10.3. In order to obtain Lessor’s prior written consent, Lessee shall submit to Lessor in writing a proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any such proposed Capital Addition. In addition, Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessor such additional information relating to such proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably request. Lessor shall have ten (10) days following receipt of the last information so requested relating to the proposed Capital Addition to respond whether Lessor has approved of such proposed Capital Addition, it being agreed that failure to timely respond shall be deemed a rejection of the proposed Capital Addition.
(b) Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition on any Property for which Lessee intends to finance, Lessee shall first grant to Lessor a right of first offer to provide funds to pay for such Capital Addition in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4. If Lessor declines or is unable to provide such funding, or if the ROFO Exercise Notice is not accepted by Lessee, the provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, no Capital Additions shall be made without the consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion, if the costs for
46
such Capital Addition, when aggregated with the costs of all Capital Additions made by Lessee, would exceed Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the then Fair Market Value of the applicable Property. Furthermore, no Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any portion of a particular Property and/or any Leased Improvements thereon with any other improvements on property adjacent to such Property (and not part of the Land covered by this Lease) including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities, unless Lessee shall have obtained the prior written approval of Lessor, which approval may be granted or withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion. As to all other Capital Additions which are not described in the immediately preceding two sentences, Lessor’s consent, if required, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All proposed Capital Additions shall be architecturally integrated and consistent with the applicable Property as determined in the reasonable discretion of Lessor.
10.3. Capital Additions Financed by Lessee. If Lessee provides or arranges to finance any Capital Addition (except for Capital Additions arranged by Lessee but funded by Lessor), this Lease shall be and hereby is amended to provide as follows:
(a) There shall be no adjustment in the Base Rent by reason of any such Capital Addition.
(b) Such Capital Addition shall revert to, and become the property of Lessor upon the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to the applicable Property.
In connection with any such Capital Addition financed by Lessee (or any Person other than Lessor), Lessee shall be permitted to place (or cause to be placed) a Lien on such Capital Addition as collateral for Lessee’s financing, provided, that, in the reasonable determination of Lessor such Lien shall not materially interfere with Lessor’s ability to finance the applicable Property; it being understood and agreed that (i) Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate in good faith to properly divide such Capital Addition from the applicable Property and to grant such easements and use restrictions as shall be necessary to avoid any disruption of Lessee’s Business on such Property; (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 10.3, such Capital Addition shall remain subject to the other terms and provisions of this Lease; and (ii) upon the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to such Property, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause all such Lien(s) to be released from such Capital Addition and within ten (10) Business Days after such expiration or termination.
10.4. Capital Additions Funded by Lessor. If Lessee desires to obtain third party purchase money, project-based financing (and specifically excluding any corporate level financing) to fund a Capital Addition on the Property, Lessee shall request the same by submitting to Lessor a written request, including a written proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any such proposed Capital Addition (a “Request”). In addition, Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessor such additional information relating to such proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably request. Lessor shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the last of the information so requested to respond by delivering to Lessee (the “ROFO Exercise Notice”) a written offer to fund the proposed Capital Addition, including the proposed terms thereof and the
47
terms of any amendments to this Lease to be executed in connection therewith; it being agreed that Lessor’s failure to timely deliver a ROFO Exercise Notice shall be deemed a rejection of the Request to provide the funding for such proposed Capital Addition. If Lessee accepts the offer set forth in the ROFO Exercise Notice, the parties shall consummate the financing contemplated thereby within sixty (60) days on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Exercise Notice. If Lessee does not accept the offer set forth in a ROFO Exercise Notice, Lessee may, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of receipt by Lessee of the ROFO Exercise Notice, obtain a commitment to finance a Capital Addition from any Person on terms and conditions no more favorable, in the aggregate, to the applicable lender than those set forth in such ROFO Exercise Notice. If Lessee does not obtain a commitment for third-party financing before the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Lessee may not finance such Capital Addition without repeating the foregoing procedures of this Article X.
10.5. Salvage. All materials that are scrapped or removed in connection with the making of either Capital Additions or repairs hereunder shall be or become the property of Lessee, and Lessee shall remove the same at its sole cost and expense.

In addition to the insurance described above, Lessee shall at all times maintain adequate worker’s compensation insurance coverage for all persons employed by Lessee on the Leased Property, to the extent required by all applicable local, state and federal laws. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lessor shall not be prohibited, at its sole cost and expense, from purchasing and maintaining such additional insurance as it may reasonably determine to be necessary to protect its interest in all or any portion of the Leased Property.
13.3. Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee hereby waives any and all rights of recovery against Lessor, its officers, agents and employees, for all injury, loss of or damage to persons or property, howsoever caused, including loss of use, to the extent such injury, loss or damage is covered or should be covered by required insurance or any other insurance maintained by Lessee, including sums within deductibles, retentions or self-insurance applicable thereto. This waiver applies to all first party property, business interruption, equipment, vehicle and workers compensation claims (unless prohibited under applicable state statutes), as well as third party liability claims. This 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 loss of, or damage to, property of the parties hereto. In as much as the above waiver precludes the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation to an insurance company, Lessee agrees to give to each insurance company providing coverage under this Lease prompt written notice of the terms of said waiver,
53
and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against any loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from the failure to obtain such waiver from the insurer, if required.
13.4. Form of Insurance. All of the policies of insurance referred to herein shall be written in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and by insurance companies reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall pay all of the premiums therefor (except as otherwise provided herein), and shall deliver “verification” of insurance to Lessor as set forth below. All binders and policies delivered to Lessor as required in this Section 13.4 shall also include a statement of insured values and locations for all properties under such blanket policies that share coverage limits. Verification of insurance as used herein is defined as follows:
(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Commencement Date, and thereafter, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to any insurance policy expiration date, Lessee shall provide verification of required insurance coverage for the following year which shall include the following:
(i) an XXXXX 75 insurance binder, or similar type of insurance binder acceptable to Lessor, for each policy providing evidence of insurance coverage of the types and in the amounts required hereunder and naming Lessor (and any other entity that Lessor may deem reasonably necessary) as additional insureds and loss payees with respect to property, rental value and business interruption insurance, and as additional insureds with respect to commercial general liability, professional liability, excess or umbrella insurance and all other required policies, together with a sample or pro forma of each policy (if required by Lessor), together with written confirmation of each insurer’s obligation to provide notice of cancellation or non-renewal of each;
(ii) a copy of property statement of values if Lessee maintains blanket insurance covering facilities other than the Leased Property; and
(iii) a summary of insurance program showing significant coverage limits, sublimits, deductibles and retentions.
(b) Thereafter, no later than the date that is sixty (60) days after the applicable Commencement Date and any such insurance policy expiration date, Lessee shall provide further verification of insurance, which verification shall include (i) true and certified copies of the required insurance policies including blanket or specific endorsements reflecting the appropriate status of Lessor (and any other entity that Lessor deems reasonably necessary) as an additional insured and/or loss payee, as the case may be, and providing notice of cancellation or non-renewal under the required insurance; and (ii) a copy of the property statement of values if Lessee maintains blanket insurance covering facilities other than the Leased Property.
54
(c) In the event Lessee does not provide timely or proper verification, or does not maintain the insurance required hereunder or pay the premiums as required hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled after notice to Lessee, but shall have no obligation, to obtain such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which premiums shall be repayable to Lessor promptly following request by Lessor (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after delivery of such request), and failure to adhere to those repayment provisions shall constitute an Event of Default. Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any insurance policies, endorsements and/or binders or certificates to omit language that provides such insurer will “endeavor to” give notice before same may be altered, allowed to expire, or canceled. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all policies of insurance required to be obtained by Lessee hereunder shall provide (i) that such policies will not lapse, terminate, be canceled, or be amended or modified to reduce limits or coverage terms unless and until Lessor has received not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice at Lessor’s notice address as specified in this Lease (the “Lessor’s Notice Address”), with a simultaneous copy to (A) MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., Attention: Its President, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (B) XxXxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, Inc., Attention: Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, 0000 0xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (ii) that in the event of cancellation due to non-payment of premium, the insurer will provide not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lessor at Lessor’s Notice Address, with a simultaneous copy to (A) MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., Attention: Its President, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (B) XxXxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, Inc., Attention: Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, 0000 0xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000.
13.5. Increase in Limits. In the event that Lessor shall at any time in its reasonable discretion deem the limits of the personal injury, property damage or general public liability insurance then carried to be insufficient, the parties shall endeavor to agree on the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried and such insurance shall thereafter be carried with the limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.5. If the parties shall be unable to agree thereon, the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried shall be determined by an impartial third party selected by the parties.
13.6. Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIII, Lessee’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Lessee provided that:
(a) Any such blanket policy or policies are acceptable to and have been approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(b) Any such blanket policy or policies shall not be changed, altered or modified without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and
55
(c) Any such blanket policy or policies shall otherwise satisfy the insurance requirements of this Article XIII (including the requirement of thirty (30) days’ written notice before the expiration or cancellation of such policies as required by Section 13.4) and shall provide for deductibles in amounts acceptable to Lessor. Any aggregate policy limits within such blanket insurance policies shall apply separately to each Property.
13.7. No Separate Insurance. Lessee shall not, on Lessee’s own initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any third party, take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Article XIII to be furnished by, or which may reasonably be required to be furnished by, Lessee, 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 in all cases Lessor and all Facility Lenders, are included therein as additional insureds and the loss is payable under said insurance in the same manner as losses are required to be payable under this Lease. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of the taking out of any such separate insurance or of the increasing of any of the amounts of the then existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies.
13.8. Insurance Required under Oklahoma Ground Lease. Lessee shall obtain and maintain all insurance required to be maintained by the tenant pursuant to the Oklahoma Ground Lease and provide Lessor with evidence of same.
13.9. Insurance Required under Kershaw Medical Center Lease. Lessee shall obtain and maintain all insurance required to be maintained by the tenant pursuant to the Kershaw Medical Center Lease and provide Lessor with evidence of same.
ARTICLE XIV.
FIRE AND CASUALTY
14.1. Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance required by Article XIII shall, subject to the rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, be paid to Lessor and held by Lessor in trust (subject to the provisions of Section 14.7) and shall be made available for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and shall be paid out by Lessor from time to time for the actual cost of such reconstruction or repair; provided, however, that Lessee shall have the right in all events to be reimbursed for amounts expended to repair and restore the Leased Property (including funds expended to modernize, update and improve the Leased Property following a casualty) up to the amount of the proceeds paid to Lessor hereunder and not otherwise used by Lessor for the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, shall be paid to and retained by Lessee free and clear upon completion of any such repair and restoration. In the
56
event neither Lessor nor Lessee is required or elects to repair and restore, all such insurance proceeds shall be retained by Lessor free and clear upon completion of any such repair and restoration. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Lessor except that any salvage relating to Capital Additions paid for by Lessee as described in Section 10.3 or to Lessee’s Personal Property shall belong to Lessee as provided in Section 10.5.
14.2. Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Covered by Insurance.
(a) Except as provided in Section 14.7, with respect to any Property, if during the Term such Property is totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article XIII and such Property is thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use (the “Casualty Impacted Property”), Lessee shall elect, by giving written notice to Lessor within sixty (60) days following the date of such destruction, one of the following: (i) to restore such Casualty Impacted Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction, or (ii) so long as the damage or destruction was not caused by the gross negligence of Lessee, its agents, servants, employees or contractors, to terminate this Lease with respect to the Casualty Impacted Property and, in this event, the total Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2, Lessor shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand, the amount of any deductible or uninsured loss arising in connection therewith.
(b) Except as provided in Section 14.7, with respect to any Property, if, during the Term, such Property is totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article XIII, but such Property is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall restore such Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction. Such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease with respect to such Property.
(c) With respect to each Property, if the cost of the repair or restoration of such Property exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Lessor, Lessee shall be obligated to pay any such excess amount needed to restore such Property prior to use of the insurance proceeds; provided that from and after the date on which Lessee expends amounts required to cover such deficiency, Lessor shall make the insurance proceeds available to Lessee for the completion of the restoration.
14.3. Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Not Covered by Insurance. Except as provided in Section 14.7 and without limiting Section 14.2, if during the Term a Property is totally or partially damaged or destroyed from a risk not covered by the insurance described in Article XIII but that would have been covered if Lessee carried the insurance customarily maintained by, and generally available to, the operators of reputable health care facilities in the region in which such Property is located, then, whether or not such damage or destruction renders such Property Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore such Property to substantially the same condition it was in immediately before such damage or destruction and such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease with respect to such Property.
57
14.4. Lessee’s Personal Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any Lessee’s Personal Property or any Capital Addition financed by Lessee shall be paid to Lessee to pay the cost of repairing or replacing the damage to Lessee’s Personal Property or the Capital Additions financed by Lessee.
14.5. Restoration of Lessee’s Property. If Lessee is required or elects to restore any Property as provided in Sections 14.2 or 14.3, Lessee shall also restore all alterations and improvements made to Lessee’s Personal Property with respect thereto and all Capital Additions paid for by Lessee with respect thereto.
14.6. No Abatement of Rent. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent and all other charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period required for repair and restoration; provided however, the proceeds of all rental stream inurance, if any, will first be paid to or retained by Lessor in satisfaction of Lessee’s obligations to pay Rent.
14.7. Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Sections 14.2 (but without limiting Lessee’s rights under Section 14.2(a)) or 14.3 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of any Property occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term, and if such damage or destruction cannot be fully repaired and restored within six (6) months immediately following the date of such loss as determined in Lessor’s reasonable discretion, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease with respect to such Property by giving notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of damage or destruction, in which event Lessor shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand the amount of any deductible or uninsured loss arising in connection therewith; provided, however, that any such notice given by Lessor shall be void and of no force and effect if Lessee exercises an available option to extend the Term for one (1) Extension Term within thirty (30) days following receipt of such termination notice.
14.8. Waiver. Lessee hereby waives any statutory or common law rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage to or destruction of any portion of the Leased Property.
ARTICLE XV.
CONDEMNATION
15.1. Parties’ Rights and Obligations. If during the Term there is any Taking of all or any part of a Property or any interest in this Lease relating to such Property by Condemnation, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined by this Article XV.
58
15.2. Total Taking. If there is a Taking of all of a Property by Condemnation, this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Property on the Date of Taking.
15.3. Partial Taking. If there is a Taking of a part, but not all, of a Property by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect with respect to such Property if such Property is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use. If, however, such portion of such Property is thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall elect either (a) to restore such portion of such Property, at its own expense and to the extent possible, to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the partial Taking, or (b) to terminate this Lease with respect to such Property (in which event the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2). Lessee shall exercise such election by giving Lessor notice thereof within sixty (60) days after Lessee receives notice of the Taking.
15.4. Award Distribution. In the event of a Taking, the entire Award shall belong to and be paid to Lessor; provided, however, that if this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article XV with respect to such Property, Lessee shall be entitled to receive a sum attributable to Lessee’s Personal Property relating thereto and any reasonable removal and relocation costs, provided in each case the Award specifically includes such items. If Lessee is required or elects to restore such Property, Lessor agrees that the Award shall be used for that restoration, and it shall hold such portion of the Award in trust for application to the cost of the restoration.
15.5. Temporary Taking. The Taking of any Property or any part thereof by military or other public authority shall constitute a Taking by Condemnation only when the use and occupancy by the Taking authority has continued for longer than six (6) months. During any such six (6)-month period all the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the Rent with respect to such Property shall not be abated or reduced during such period of Taking.
ARTICLE XVI.
DEFAULT
16.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (individually, an “Event of Default”) shall constitute Events of Default hereunder:
(a) if Lessee shall fail to make a payment of the Rent or any other monetary obligation when the same becomes due and payable by Lessee under this Lease (including, but not limited to, any failure to maintain the amount of the Security Deposit or the failure to pay Insurance Premiums or Impositions, other than those that are being disputed by Lessee in good faith pursuant to Article XII) and the same shall remain unpaid for more than five (5) days following receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor; provided however, in no event shall Lessor be required to give more than two (2) such written notices hereunder during any consecutive twelve (12) month period; or
59
(b) if Lessee shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect (without duplication of any materiality qualifier herein) any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and such failure is not cured by Lessee within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor (except that in the event Lessee shall fail to comply with any request pursuant to Sections 38.3 and 38.4 hereof, and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after receipt by Lessee of such request from Lessor), unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days (in Lessor’s reasonable discretion), in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue so long as Lessee commences to cure such failure within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds with due diligence to complete the curing thereof within sixty (60) days after receipt by Lessee of Lessor’s notice of default (or such longer period as is reasonably required in the determination of Lessor to effect such cure if Lessee is diligently proceeding to do so); provided however, in no event shall Lessor be required to give more than two (2) notices and cure period for Lessee’s failure to observe or perform the same (or repetitive) covenant or condition in any consecutive twelve (12) month period; or
(c) if (i) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or (ii) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall file a petition in bankruptcy as a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act; or (iii) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall be declared insolvent according to any law; or (iv) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall make any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) if the estate or interest of any Facility Lessee in the Leased Property or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of ninety (90) days after commencement thereof or sixty (60) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor (unless Lessee shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Article XII); or (vi) any petition shall be filed against any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor to declare such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor bankrupt, to take advantage of any insolvency act, or to delay, reduce or modify such Facility Lessee’s or such Guarantor’s capital structure and the same shall not be removed or vacated within ninety (90) days from the date of its creation, service or attachment; or (vii) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall, after a petition in bankruptcy is filed against it, be adjudicated a bankrupt, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order or decree, with or without the consent of such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor, as the case may be, appointing a trustee, examiner or receiver of such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor or the whole or substantially all of its property, or approving a petition filed against such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor seeking reorganization or arrangement of such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof, and such judgment, order or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within ninety (90) days from the date of the entry thereof (notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event the provisions of this Section 16.1(c) are triggered, then prior to an Event of Default arising hereunder or as a cure for any such Event of Default, Guarantor shall have the right and option within twenty (20) days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default or such event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such an Event of Default, to cause an Acceptable Replacement Guarantor to join in and be bound by the Guaranty); or
60
(d) if any Facility Lessee shall have any of its Licenses (as defined in Article XXXVIII) or participation or certification in Medicare or Medicaid or any material other third party payor program is terminated by the applicable government program for fraud or violation of the terms of such program; or
(e) a Change of Control Transaction shall occur with respect to any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor which is not approved by Lessor in advance;
(f) if, with respect to any Property, (i) the applicable Facility Lessee that operates the Business at such Property abandons or vacates same (such Facility Lessee’s absence therefrom for thirty (30) consecutive days shall constitute abandonment), or (ii) the applicable Facility Lessee fails to continuously operate such Business on such Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease;
(g) if any Facility Lessee or any of the Guarantors shall be liquidated or dissolved, or shall begin proceedings toward such liquidation or dissolution, or shall, in any manner, permit the sale or divestiture of substantially all of its assets, or any such Facility Lessee or any such Guarantor shall enter into an agreement respecting same; or
(h) if a monetary default or a material non-monetary default shall occur under any Obligation Document (other than this Lease) which is not waived in writing or cured within the cure period as provided therein; or
(i) if any monetary or material non-monetary default or event of default occurs with respect to any Material Obligation of any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor which is not waived in writing or cured within the applicable cure period provided by the document evidencing the Material Obligation; or
(j) if, at any time during the Term, for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters:
(i) EBITDAR (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) shall be less than One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the Combined Obligor Payments (as determined utilizing the trailing twelve (12) month operating and financial results of Capella Holdings and its Subsidiaries and measured on a calendar quarterly basis; or
(ii) EBITDAR (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) shall be less One Hundred Twenty-Five Percent (125%) of Consolidated Fixed Charges (as determined utilizing the trailing twelve (12) month operating and financial results of Capella Holdings and its Subsidiaries and measured on a calendar quarterly basis).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lessee fails (or, but for the operation of this paragraph, would fail) to comply with the requirements of Section 16.1(j)(i) or (ii), until the thirtieth (30th) day subsequent
61
the earlier of (1) the date that Lessee becomes aware of such non-compliance or (2) the date of delivery of written notice from Lessor relating to such failure (the “Equity Cure Expiration Date”), Capella Holdings shall have the right to issue its equity interests for cash or to receive an equity contribution in respect of its equity interests (the “Equity Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by Capella Holdings of such cash (the “Specified Equity Contribution”) EBITDAR shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:
(A) | EBITDAR for the applicable calendar quarter (and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter) shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 16.1(j)(i) and (ii), by an amount equal to the Specified Equity Contribution; and |
(B) | if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Lessee shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 16.1(j)(i) and (ii), Lessee shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such section as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Event of Default that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Lease. |
(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the failure comply with the requirements of Section 16.1(j), if Lessee has given Lessor notice that Lessee intends to cure such failure with the proceeds of a Specified Equity Contribution, Lessor shall not exercise any rights or remedies under Section 16 available during the continuance of any Event of Default on the basis of any actual or purported failure to comply with Section 16.1(j) until such failure is not cured on or prior to the Equity Cure Expiration Date.
(v) With respect to Section 16.1(j)(i) and (ii) above, it is understood and agreed that Lessor and Lessee agree to work together in good faith to adjust such covenants after the Initial Commencement Date to reflect future acquisitions of real property joined under this Lease.
If an Event of Default has occurred, Lessor shall have the right at its election, then or at any time thereafter, to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, in addition to any remedies which may be permitted by law, by other provisions of this Lease or otherwise, without notice or demand, except as hereinafter provided:
A. If Lessee deserts, abandons or vacates any Property (the “Vacated Property”), Lessor may enter upon and take possession of either (i) the Vacated Property; or (ii) if there has occurred a Major Event of Default, any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Properties, regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated from or related primarily to a single Property (whether one or more, and whether pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), the “Entered
62
Property”), to protect it from deterioration and continue to demand from Lessee Rent and other charges as provided in this Lease, without any obligation to relet (except to the extent required by applicable law); but if Lessor does relet the Entered Property (on such terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall deem reasonable), such action by Lessor shall not be deemed an acceptance of Lessee’s surrender of the Entered Property unless Lessor expressly notifies Lessee of such acceptance in writing, Lessee hereby acknowledging that Lessor shall otherwise be reletting as Lessee’s agent and Lessee furthermore hereby agreeing to pay to Lessor on demand any deficiency that may arise between the Rent and other charges as provided in this Lease and that are actually collected by Lessor relating to the Entered Property.
X. Xxxxxx, or anyone acting on Lessor’s behalf, may without notice or demand to Lessee, either (i) enter the Property from which such Event of Default emanated or to which such Event of Default related primarily; or (ii) if there has occurred a Major Event of Default, enter any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Properties, regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated from or related primarily to a single Property (whether one or more, and whether pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), the “Defaulted Property”), by force, if necessary, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations without liability to action for prosecution or damages for such entry or for the manner thereof, and do whatever Lessee is obligated or permitted to do under this Lease. Lessee hereby releases and discharges Lessor and its agents from all claims, actions, suits, damages and penalties for or by reason of any such entry. Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor on demand for all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, that Lessor may incur in effecting compliance with Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, and Lessee further agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Lessee from such action.
X. Xxxxxx may immediately terminate Lessee’s right of possession of the Defaulted Property, but not terminate this Lease with respect to the Defaulted Property, and without notice or demand, except as may be required by applicable law, enter upon such Defaulted Property or any part thereof and take absolute possession of the same, and at Lessor’s sole option may relet such Defaulted Property or any part thereof for such terms and such rents as Lessor may reasonably elect. In the event of such reletting, the rent received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 16.4, and Lessee shall satisfy and pay any deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time. Any entry into and possession of the Defaulted Property by Lessor shall be without liability or responsibility to Lessee and shall not be in lieu of or in substitution for any other legal rights of Lessor hereunder. Lessee further agrees that Lessor may file suit to recover any sums due under the terms of this Lease and that no recovery of any portion due Lessor hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought by Lessor for any other amounts not reduced to judgment in favor of Lessor. Reletting any portion of the Defaulted Property relating to any one or more of the Properties shall not be construed as an election on the part of Lessor to terminate this Lease with respect to such Defaulted Property and, notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for default with respect to the Defaulted Property.
63
X. Xxxxxx may terminate this Lease with respect to the Defaulted Property (whether one or more, the “Terminated Property”), by written notice to Lessee, in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender to Lessor such Terminated Property, and if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession or arrearages in Rent or any other payments under this Lease (including any interest and payment penalty which may have accrued pursuant to the terms of this Lease), enter upon and take possession of such Terminated Property and expel or remove the applicable Facility Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying such Terminated Property or any part thereof, by force, if necessary, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor. Except as otherwise may be required by applicable law or as otherwise expressly required under this Lease, Lessee hereby waives any statutory requirement of prior written notice for filing eviction or damage suits for nonpayment of Rent or any other payments under this Lease. In addition, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Lessor may suffer by reason of any termination effected pursuant to this Section 16.1D, which loss and damage shall be determined, at Lessor’s option, by either of the following alternative measures of damages:
(i) Until Lessor is able to relet such Terminated Property, although Lessor shall be under no obligation to attempt to do so (unless required by applicable law), Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on or before the first day of each calendar month, the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this Lease relating to such Terminated Property. After such Terminated Property has been relet by Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month the difference between the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this Lease related to such Terminated Property for the preceding calendar month (had this Lease not been terminated) and those actually collected by Lessor with respect to such reletting for that month. If it is necessary for Lessor to bring suit to collect any deficiency, Lessor shall have the right to allow such deficiencies to accumulate and to bring an action on several or all of the accrued deficiencies at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in any way the right of Lessor to bring a similar action for any subsequent deficiency or deficiencies. Any amount collected by Lessor from subsequent Tenants related to such Terminated Property for any calendar month in excess of the monthly Rent (including Additional Charges) herein allocated to such Terminated Property had this Lease not been terminated with respect thereto shall be credited to Lessee in reduction of Lessee’s liability for any calendar month for which the amount collected by Lessor will be less than the monthly Rent (including Additional Charges) herein allocated to such Terminated Property had this Lease not been terminated with respect thereto such Terminated Facility, but Lessee shall have no right to any excess other than the above described credit.
64
(ii) When Lessor desires, Lessor may demand a final settlement with respect to such Terminated Property. Upon demand for a final settlement, Lessor shall have a right to, and Lessee hereby agrees to pay, the difference between the total of all monthly Rent (including Additional Charges) allocated to such Terminated Property for the remainder of the Term and the reasonable rental value thereof for such period, with such difference to be discounted to present value at a rate equal to the 5-Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus Two Percent (2%) per annum in effect upon the date of determination.
If Lessor elects to exercise the remedies prescribed in subsections A or B above, this election shall in no way prejudice Lessor’s right at any time thereafter to cancel said election in favor of the remedy prescribed in subsection D or elsewhere in this Lease. Similarly, if Lessor elects to compute damages in the manner prescribed by subsection D(i) above, this election shall in no way prejudice Lessor’s right at any time thereafter to demand a final settlement in accordance with subsection D(ii). Pursuit of any of the above remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedies prescribed in other sections of this Lease and any other remedies provided by law or equity. Forbearance by Lessor to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
E. In the event that Lessor has either repossessed a Vacated Property pursuant to subsection A, repossessed a Defaulted Property pursuant to subsection C, or terminated this Lease with respect to one or more (or all, if so elected by Lessor) Defaulted Properties pursuant to subsection D, and Lessor elects to enter upon such portion of the Leased Property as provided herein, Lessor may change, alter, and/or modify the door locks on all entry doors of such portion of the Leased Property, thereby permanently excluding Lessee and its officers, principals, agents, employees, representatives and invitees therefrom. Lessor shall not thereafter be obligated to provide Lessee with a key to such portion of Leased Property at any time, regardless of any amounts subsequently paid by Lessee; provided, however, that in any such instance, during Lessor’s normal business hours and at the convenience of Lessor, and upon receipt of written request from Lessee accompanied by such written waivers and releases as Lessor may reasonably require, Lessor may either (at Lessor’s option) (1) escort Lessee or its authorized personnel to such Leased Property to retrieve any personal belonging or other property of Lessee not subject to Lessor’s right of purchase as provided in Section 34.1, or (2) obtain a list from Lessee of such personal property not subject to Lessor’s right of purchase as provided in Section 34.1, whereupon Lessor shall remove such property and make it available to Lessee at a time and place designated by Lessor. However, if Lessor elects option (2), Lessee shall pay, in cash in advance, all reasonable costs and expenses estimated by Lessor to be incurred in removing such property and making it available to Lessee and all moving and/or storage charges theretofore incurred by Lessor with respect to such property (plus an additional Seven Percent (7%) thereof to cover Lessor’s administrative costs). If Lessor elects to exclude Lessee from any Defaulted Property (or all of the Defaulted Properties if so elected by Lessor) without repossessing or terminating pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Lease, then Lessor shall not be obligated to provide Lessee a key to re-enter such Property or Properties until such time as all delinquent Rent has been paid in full and all other defaults, if any, have been completely cured to Lessor’s satisfaction (if such cure occurs prior to any actual repossession or termination), and Lessor has been given assurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor evidencing Lessee’s ability to satisfy its remaining obligations under this Lease. To the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provision shall override and control any conflicting provisions of any applicable statute governing the right of a lessor to change the door locks of commercial leases.
65
F. Intentionally Deleted.
G. In addition to any other available remedies, at Lessor’s option, with respect to each Defaulted Property or Entered Property, Lessor shall have those rights (i) to purchase Lessee’s Personal Property in the manner provided in Section 34.2 hereof and (ii) to effect a transfer of the Licenses pursuant to the terms of Article XXXVIII hereof.
H. Exercise any and all other rights and/or remedies granted or allowed to landlords by any existing or future statute or other law of the applicable State where the Entered Property or the Defaulted Property, as applicable, is located.
I. In the event, and only in the event, that applicable law requires Lessor to attempt to mitigate damages following the termination of Lessee’s rights under this Lease with respect to any one or more of the Properties as provided in subsection D(i) above, Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to the extent required by applicable law to relet such Property or Properties on such terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole good faith judgment, may determine (including, without limitation, a lease term different than the Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair any such Property); provided, however, that, with respect to any such Property or Properties (i) Lessor shall not be obligated to relet such Property before leasing other vacant space owned or operated by Lessor, (ii) Lessor reserves the right to refuse to lease such Property to any potential tenant that does not meet Lessor’s reasonable standards and criteria for leasing any other comparable space owned or operated by Lessor (it being understood and agreed that it shall be deemed reasonable for Lessor to refuse to lease to a prospective tenant who owns, leases or operates a business similar to that conducted on such Property in the County where such Property is located), and (iii) Lessor shall not be obligated to undertake any greater efforts to relet such portion of the Leased Property than Lessor utilizes to lease any other vacant space owned or operated by Lessor. In any proceeding in which Lessor’s efforts to mitigate damages and/or its compliance with this subsection is at issue, Lessor shall be presumed to have used reasonable efforts to mitigate damages and Lessee shall bear the burden of proof to establish that such reasonable efforts were not used.
J. No receipt of moneys by Lessor from Lessee after a termination of this Lease with respect to any one or more of the Properties or of Lessee’s rights under this Lease by Lessor with respect thereto shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease with respect to such one or more Properties or affect any notice theretofore given to Lessee, or operate as a waiver of the right of Lessor to enforce the payment of Rent and any related amounts to be paid by Lessee to Lessor then due or thereafter falling due, it being agreed that after the commencement of suit for possession of any such Property, or after final order or judgment for the possession of any such Property, Lessor may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such suit, order or judgment, all such money collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupation of any such Property or, at the election of Lessor, on account of Lessee’s liability hereunder. Lessee hereby waives any and all rights of redemption provided by any law, statute or ordinance now in effect or which may hereafter be enacted.
66
K. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other legal or equitable right or remedy given hereunder, or at any time existing. The failure of Lessor to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent or any other payment due under the terms of this Lease during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any such term. To the extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. Lessor and Lessee agree that no waiver shall be effective hereunder unless it is in writing.
L. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, or any other provisions of this Lease or any other transaction document, if Lessor is exercising remedies due solely to an Event of Default caused by the failure to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 13.5 or Section 16.1(e), (h), or (i) above (each, a “Limited Remedy Event of Default”), the aggregate amount Lessee shall be required to pay to Lessor from and after the date of the occurrence of such Limited Remedy Event of Default (the “Occurrence Date”) for all damages incurred by Lessor, including without limitation, any costs incurred to relet the Property, tenant improvement costs, and brokerage commissions, shall be limited to the sum of (i) the present value as of the Occurrence Date, discounted at the annual rate of nine percent (9.0%), of all basic rent for the unexpired portion after the Occurrence Date of the Term devised herein as if this Lease had not expired or been terminated, (ii) any Additional Charges which are due and payable or have accrued under this Lease through the Occurrence Date, and (iii) any Additional Charges which are due and payable or have accrued under this Lease after the Occurrence Date while the Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Property and which relate to Real Estate Taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance, environmental maintenance, remediation and compliance and other routine and customary costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the Leased Property in substantial compliance with the terms of this Lease. Furthermore, additional reimbursement for any unpaid damages caused solely by a Limited Remedy Event of Default may not be claimed by Lessor under any other provision of this Lease or transaction documents. In the event of a conflict between the provisions under this Section 16.1(L) and any other provision of any other transaction document with respect to the subject matter of this Section 16.1(L), the provisions contained in this Section 16.1(L) shall prevail.
16.2. Additional Expenses . It is further agreed that, in addition to payments required pursuant to Section 16.1 above and the provisions of Section 40.3, Lessee shall compensate Lessor and its Affiliates for (a) all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates in enforcing the provisions of this Lease and in repossessing the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including among other expenses, any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of all or any portion of the Leased Property); (b) all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates in reletting (including among other expenses, repairs, remodeling,
67
replacements, advertisements and brokerage fees); (c) all concessions granted to a new Tenant or Tenants upon reletting (including among other concessions, renewal options); (d) Lessor’s and its Affiliates’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from or related to an Event of Default; (e) all losses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates as a direct or indirect result of such Event of Default (including, among other losses, any adverse action by Facility Lenders); and (f) a reasonable allowance for Lessor’s administrative efforts, salaries and overhead attributable directly or indirectly to such Event of Default and Lessor’s pursuing the rights and remedies provided herein and under applicable law.
16.3. Waivers.
(a) If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession; (ii) any right to a trial by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Article XVI; (iii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt; and (iv) any statutory requirement of prior written notice for filing eviction or damage suits for nonpayment of Rent or any other payments under this Lease. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that no waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless made under signature of an authorized representative of Lessor.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of: (i) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law or any other law which may prevent Lessor from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Lessee or any one or more of the Facility Lessees or Guarantors, before or after Lessor’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure or similar action or actions, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (ii) any election of remedies by Lessor which destroys or otherwise adversely affects Lessee or any one or more of the Facility Lessee’s or Guarantor’s subrogation rights or rights to proceed against any Person for reimbursement, including, without limitation, any loss of rights Lessee or Guarantors may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging Lessee’s and Guarantors’ obligations under this Lease or the other Obligation Documents (as applicable), (iii) any disability or other defense of any other Person, other than payment in full in legal tender, of Lessee’s and Guarantors’ obligations under this Lease or the other Obligation Documents (as applicable); (iv) any defenses given to guarantors, sureties, and/or co-makers at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of Lessee’s and Guarantors’ obligations under this Lease or the other Obligation Documents (as applicable); or (vi) any action by Lessor or its Affiliates to enforce its rights and remedies under this Lease and the other Obligation Documents.
16.4. Application of Funds. Any payments otherwise payable by Lessee which are received by Lessor under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default shall be applied to Lessee’s obligations in the order which Lessor may reasonably determine.
68
16.5. Notices by Lessor. The provisions of this Article XVI concerning notices shall be liberally construed insofar as the contents of such notices are concerned, and any such notice shall be sufficient if reasonably designed to apprise Lessee of the nature and approximate extent of any default, it being agreed that Lessee is in as good or a better position than Lessor to ascertain the exact extent of any default by Lessee hereunder.
ARTICLE XVII.
LESSOR’S RIGHT TO CURE
Subject to the provisions of Article XII relating to permitted contests, if Lessee shall fail to make any payment, or to perform any act required to be made or performed under this Lease and to cure the same within the relevant time periods provided in Section 16.1, after written notice to Lessee, Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon any portion of the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lessor’s opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses, in each case, to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Lessor until reimbursed, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.
ARTICLE XVIII.
INTENTIONALLY DELETED
ARTICLE XIX.
HOLDING OVER
If Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession of any Property after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of the Term with respect to thereto, such possession shall be as a tenancy at will, during which time Lessee shall pay, as rental each month, one and one-half (1-1/2) times the aggregate of (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the aggregate Allocated Base Rent relating to such Property payable with respect to the last complete twelve (12)-month period prior to the expiration of the Term; (b) all Additional Charges relating to such Property accruing during the month, and (c) all other sums, if any, payable by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property. During such period of tenancy, Lessee 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 law to tenancies at will, to continue its occupancy and use of such Property. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
69
ARTICLE XX.
LESSOR CONSENT
Any consents that Lessor or any of its Affiliates has given with respect to this Lease prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed incorporated into this Lease.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS INDEMNIFYING LESSOR OR THE MPT TRS ENTITIES AGAINST THEIR OWN GROSSLY NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
ARTICLE XXIII.
ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND SUBLEASE SUBORDINATION
23.1. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Lessee shall not assign this Lease without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any assignment, provided, that (i) such assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed; and (ii) an original counterpart of the assignment, duly executed by Lessee and such assignee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor; it being understood and agreed, however, that if, in connection with any such assignment, Lessee desires that Lessor release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease, Lessor’s review and approval of any assignee shall be in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion. The parties agree that Lessor’s failure or refusal to approve an assignment to an assignee that does not have the operating characteristics reasonably satisfactory to Lessor shall be reasonable on its face. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, any assignment must be of all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to this Lease and the Leased Property such that this Lease is not severed with respect to any one or more of the Properties.
(b) Lessee shall not sublease any portion of a particular Property if such Tenant Lease would exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in annual rent without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lessee agrees that (i) each Tenant Lease shall comply with the provisions of this Article XXIII, (ii) subject to Section 23.4, a copy of each such Tenant Lease, duly executed by Lessee and such Tenant in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor and (iii) Lessee shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the obligations, covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder and under all of the other documents executed in connection herewith. Any modifications, amendments and restatements of any Tenant Leases (but excluding renewals and extensions) hereafter entered into (other than those having less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in annual rent) must be approved by Lessor in accordance with this Article XXIII. In no event shall Lessee sublease all or substantially all of any Property without Lessor’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion.
72
23.2. Sublease Limitations. In addition to the sublease limitations as set forth in Section 23.1, above, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the Tenant thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the Tenant, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Tenant Lease rental received by Lessor would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto. Moreover, Lessee shall not sublet any portion of the Leased Property for a term extending beyond the Fixed Term without the express consent of Lessor. In addition, all Tenant Leases shall comply in all material respects with the Healthcare Laws. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that all Tenant Leases entered into relating to the Leased Property, whether or not approved by Lessor, shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, be deemed to be a direct lease between Lessor and any Tenant. Lessee agrees that all Tenant Leases must include provisions to the effect that (i) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, to the rights of Lessor hereunder, and to all financing documents relating to any Facility Loan in connection with the Leased Property, (ii) in the event this Lease shall terminate or be terminated before the expiration of the Tenant Lease, the Tenant will, at Lessor’s option, exercisable at any time in Lessor’s discretion, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the Tenant may have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease, (iii) in the event of a termination of this Lease with respect to all or the applicable Property, at Lessor’s option, exercisable at any time in Lessor’s discretion, the sublease may be terminated or left in place by Lessor, (iv) Tenant shall from time to time upon request of Lessee or Lessor furnish within twenty (20) days from request an estoppel certificate in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lessor or any Facility Lender relating to the Tenant Lease, and (v) such Tenant Lease shall at all times be subject to the obligations and requirements as set forth in this Article XXIII.
23.3. Sublease Subordination and Non-Disturbance.
(a) At any time during the Term, except with respect to the Existing Subleases, within twenty (20) days following written request by Lessor with respect to any Tenant, Lessee shall cause any applicable Tenant to execute and deliver to Lessor (a) an estoppel certifying such matters as Lessor may reasonably request, including, without limitation, that such Tenant Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or setting forth the modifications), the term and expiration thereof and the dates to which the Rent has been paid; and/or (b) a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement relating to the applicable Tenant Lease, which subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement shall be in form mutually satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee.
73
(b) Within twenty (20) days from the date of request of Lessor, a Facility Lender or Lessee, with respect to any Tenant, Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant and Lessor shall cause such Facility Lender to enter into a written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to such Facility Lender and such Tenant whereby (i) such Tenant subordinates the Tenant Lease and all of its rights and estate thereunder to each such mortgage or deed of trust that encumbers the Leased Property or any part thereof and agrees with each such Facility Lender that such Tenant will attorn to and recognize such Facility Lender or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in any such mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be, as Lessor under this Lease for the balance of the Term then remaining, subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Tenant Lease and (ii) such Facility Lender shall agree that Tenant shall not be disturbed in peaceful enjoyment of the applicable portion of the Leased Property nor shall the applicable Tenant Lease be terminated or canceled at any time, except as specified in the applicable Tenant Lease.
23.4. Existing Subleases. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that there currently exist certain leases or subleases on the Leased Property as described on Exhibit E (collectively the “Existing Subleases”). Lessor hereby consents to the Existing Subleases. Any material modifications, amendments and restatements of the Existing Subleases or any Tenant Lease hereafter entered into (but excluding renewals and extensions that do not otherwise materially modify or amend the relevant Existing Sublease or Tenant Lease) must be approved by Lessor in accordance with this Article XXIII.
ARTICLE XXIV.

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt, each Facility Lessee shall furnish to Lessor copies of all written notices and demands from any third-party payor, including, without limitation, Medicare and/or Medicaid, concerning any overpayment which will or could reasonably be expected to require a repayment or a refund in excess of Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) with respect to such Facility Lessee.
(e) Each Facility Lessee shall furnish to Lessor prompt written notice of, and any information related to, any governmental investigations of such Facility Lessee or the Guarantors (or any of their respective Subsidiaries), or any inspections or investigations of the Facility operated by such Facility Lessee which are conducted by the United States Attorney, State Attorney General, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or any other Governmental Body, and provide to Lessor, on a monthly basis, ongoing status reports (in form and content acceptable to Lessor) of any such government investigations;

ARTICLE XXX.
TRANSFERS BY LESSOR; SEVERANCE RIGHTS
30.1. Transfers by Lessor. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor may sell its interest in the Leased Property in whole or in part, and that Lessor may assign its interest in this Lease in whole or in part, in any such case, without Lessee’s prior written consent or approval. If Lessor or any successor owner of any Property shall convey such Property in accordance with the terms hereof, other than as security for a debt, the grantee or transferee of such Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such
78
conveyance or transfer, and Lessor or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Lease relating to such Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner. Lessee agrees that any successor purchaser may exercise any and all rights of Lessor; provided, however, such successor purchaser shall be subject to the same restrictions imposed upon Lessor hereunder. Subject to the execution by a prospective purchaser of a written confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to Lessee, Lessor may divulge to any such prospective purchaser all information, reports, financial statements, certificates and documents obtained by it from Lessee (including all such information and documents relating to each of the Guarantors).
30.2. Severance Rights. Notwithstanding the unitary nature of this Lease, Lessor may at any time and from time to time, cause this Lease to be severed with respect to any one or more of the Properties (each, a “Severed Property”). If Lessor shall desire to sever this Lease pursuant to this Section 30.2, Lessor shall deliver written notice (each, a “Severance Notice”) to Lessee not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date that this Lease shall be severed with respect to the Severed Property or Severed Properties identified in the Severance Notice (such date identified in a Severance Notice, a “Severance Date”). The Severance Notice shall specify the Severed Property and the Severance Date. Effective upon a Severance Date, the applicable Severed Property shall no longer be part of the Leased Property under this Lease and such Severed Property shall be deemed to be and shall be leased by Lessor to Lessee for the amount of Rent allocable to such Severed Property pursuant to a separate lease (a “Severed Lease”) upon the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease (except for such provisions as by their terms are not applicable to such Severed Property); it being agreed, however, that the liability of the applicable lessor under the Severed Lease shall be limited to such lessor’s interest in the Severed Property. The portion of the Base Rent allocable to the Severed Property shall be the Allocated Base Rent for such Severed Property.

For so long as Lessor under this Lease shall be the lessor under a Severed Lease, any such Severed Lease and the related Other Credit Enhancements shall be deemed “Obligation Documents” for all purposes under this Lease, any Event of Default under such Severed Lease or Other Credit Enhancements shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, and any Event of Default under this Lease or the other Obligation Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under such Severed Lease. Lessor will prepare the Severed Lease, the Other Credit Enhancements, the Lease amendment and, if necessary, the amendments to the other applicable Obligation Documents with respect to each Severed Property consistent with the provisions of this Section 30.2 and the parties agree to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered.

APPRAISAL
If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value of any Property, each party, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of the event which makes such determination necessary, shall, by notice to the other, appoint an appraiser (each of whom must be a member of the AIREA and adhere to the USPAP standards in the preparation of the appraisal). The appraisers thus appointed shall appoint a third appraiser (such third appraiser must also be a member of the AIREA and adhere to the USPAP standards in the preparation of the appraisal) and such third appraiser shall appraise such Property to determine the Fair Market Value thereof; provided, however, that if a party fails to appoint an appraiser within such required period, the sole appraiser appointed shall conduct the appraisal and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such appraisal to be completed within forty-five (45) days following the event which makes such determination necessary. This provision for determination by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such appraisal. Any appraisal shall assess the Fair Market Value of the applicable Property or Lessee’s Personal Property as of the date of the event which makes such assessment necessary.

ARTICLE XXXIV.
PURCHASE RIGHTS
34.1. Lessor’s Option to Purchase Lessee’s Personal Property. With respect to any Facility, upon prior written notice to Lessee, Lessor shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Facility Lessee’s Personal Property relating to such Facility, if any, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to such Facility, for an amount equal to the then fair market value of the Lessee’s Personal Property as determined by independent, third party appraisal reasonably acceptable to Lessor and Lessee, subject in all cases to, and with appropriate price adjustments for, all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, security interests and other encumbrances to which such Lessee’s Personal Property is subject. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 34.1 to the contrary, the options to purchase granted under this Section 34.1 do not pertain to any of the Licenses, it being understood and agreed that all matters relating to the transfer of the Licenses are addressed in Article XXXVIII.
34.2. Lessee’s First Right of Refusal.
(a) Subject to the limitations described in Section 34.2(b) below, upon the expiration of the Fixed Term and during the continuation of any Extension Terms, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no event has then occurred which has not been cured and with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default under Section 16.1(a), Lessee shall have a first refusal option to purchase the Leased Property or Lessor’s Equity Interests, as applicable, as provided herein. In the event that Lessor or its Affiliate receives a bona fide written offer during the Extension Terms from an unaffiliated third party in a letter of intent form (which offer the Lessor or its Affiliate intends to accept) to: (i) purchase the Leased Property, or (ii) acquire record ownership or direct beneficial ownership of any Equity Interests in Lessor, such that after giving effect thereto, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. or its Affiliate shall cease to beneficially own and control at least 51% of the Equity Interests of Lessor (in each case, a “Third Party Offer”), then Lessor shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following Lessor’s delivery to Lessee of an executed letter of intent) provide Lessee with a copy of such Third Party Offer (the “Third Party Offer Notice”) and Lessee shall have the Decision Period (as hereinafter defined) in which to confirm in writing its intention to purchase the Leased Property or the Equity Interest, as applicable, on the same terms and conditions contained in the Third Party Offer. If Lessee shall fail to provide a written response to Lessor within the Decision Period, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its option and Lessor and the third party shall be entitled to proceed with the sale of the Leased Property or Equity Interests (as applicable) on the same terms as those set forth in the letter of intent, free and clear of any Lessee rights of first refusal to purchase the Leased Property or Equity Interests. As used herein, the term “Decision Period” shall mean the period of time commencing on the date that Lessee receives the Third Party Offer Notice and ending on the later to occur of (i) the sixtieth (60th) day immediately following the date that Lessee receives the Third Party Offer Notice, or (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day immediately following the date that the Lessor or its Affiliate enters into a binding definitive agreement accepting the Third Party Offer (the “Binding Agreement”).
82
(b) If, prior to the closing of any such sale of the Leased Property or Equity Interests in accordance with the Third Party Offer, Lessor agrees to reduce the offering price set forth in the Third Party Offer to an amount which is less than ninety-eight (98%) of the original offered amount, or to modify or amend any material terms or conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer or the Binding Agreement such that they are materially more favorable to the third party purchaser than those terms and conditions initially set forth in the Third Party Offer on which the sale of the Leased Property or Equity Interests was initially offered to Lessee, then Lessor shall give Lessee written notice thereof and all supporting documentation (the “Revised Sale Terms”). Lessee shall have thirty (30) days after the receipt of said notice and Revised Sale Terms in which to confirm in writing its intention to purchase the Leased Property or the Equity Interest, as applicable, on the same terms and conditions contained in the Third Party Offer or Binding Agreement, as applicable and as modified by the Revised Sale Terms. If Lessee shall fail to provide a written response to Lessor within such thirty (30) day time period, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its option and Lessor and the third party shall be entitled to proceed with the sale of the Leased Property or Equity Interests (as applicable) free and clear of any Lessee rights of first refusal to purchase the Leased Property or Equity Interests.
(c) If Lessee exercises the foregoing option, then such purchase shall be consummated in accordance with the provisions of Article XVIII hereof to the extent not inconsistent herewith. The closing of any such purchase by the Lessee shall occur on the later of (i) the closing date specified in the Third Party Offer or Binding Agreement, as applicable, or (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day immediately following Lessor’s receipt of Lessee’s written confirmation of Lessee’s intent to exercise its option as provided herein.
(d) In the event that such sale of the Leased Property or Equity Interests to such third party fails to close for whatever reason, Lessee shall be entitled to exercise its right of first refusal as provided in this Section 34.2 as to any subsequent Third Party Offer that occurs during the Term of this Lease, or with respect to such adjusted Third Party Offer or Binding Agreement, as applicable. In the event that Lessee shall fail to exercise its option as provided herein, and Lessor shall consummate a sale of the Leased Property or Equity Interests to such third party during the Term, then the Lessee shall remain entitled to exercise its right of first refusal as provided in this Section 34.2 as to any subsequent sale or transfer during the Term by such third party of the Leased Property or Lessor’s Equity Interests which is subject to Lessee’s right of first refusal granted herein.
(e) In addition to the conditions and limitations set forth in Section 34.2(a), Lessee’s first refusal option with respect to the Leased Property shall not apply to or otherwise restrict any actions, negotiations or agreements in respect of (i) the sale, transfer of other disposition of the Leased Property or the Equity Interest in Lessor to any unaffiliated third party third party prior to
83
the expiration of the Fixed Term, (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Leased Property which constitutes a Portfolio Sale, or (iii) the sale of equity, merger, combination, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or similar transaction involving Medical Properties Trust, Inc., MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., or their respective Affiliates and any other Person in connection with a Portfolio Sale.

The headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect its meaning.
89
40.2. | Bankruptcy Waivers. |
(a) Unitary and Non-Severable Lease. The parties agree that for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C.

(b) Relief from Stay. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that in the event any Lessee or any Leased Property relating to any Facility shall become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency estate, then (i) Lessee shall not oppose any request by Lessor to obtain an order from the court granting relief from the automatic stay pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code so as to permit the exercise of all rights and remedies pursuant to this Lease, and (ii) the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default under this Lease shall, in and of itself, constitute “cause” for relief from the automatic stay pursuant to the provisions of Section 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, based on the fact that the non-existence of a bankruptcy proceeding was a material inducement for the entry by Lessor into this Lease.
(c) Automatic Stay. Lessee hereby waives the stay imposed by 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a) as to actions by the Lessor against each Facility. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that in the event of the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy by or against Lessee, it shall not assert or request that any other party assert that the automatic stay provided by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lessor to enforce any rights or remedies held by virtue of the Lease or applicable law.
(d) Patient Care Ombudsman. Lessee hereby agrees (i) to use its best efforts to contest the necessity of the appointment of a Patient Care Ombudsman for such Facility as that term is defined in 11 U.S.C.

Lessor shall reimburse the Lessee for any and all reasonable incremental costs (i.e., reasonable costs not otherwise incurred by the Lessee with respect to the normal preparation of such financial statements for other purposes) incurred in furnishing, or causing its accountants to furnish, such financial statements and consents. Lessor may disclose that Lessor has entered into this Lease with Lessee and may provide and disclose information regarding this Lease, Lessee, the Guarantors, the Leased Property and each Facility, and such additional information which Lessor may reasonably deem necessary, to its proposed investors in such public offering or private offering of securities, or any current or prospective lenders with respect to such financing, and to investors, analysts and other parties in connection with earnings calls and other normal communications with investors, analysts, and other parties. Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessor, its legal and financial representatives, and any lender providing financing for all or any portion of the Leased Property (each, a “Requesting Party”) shall have the right, subject to the execution of a written confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to Lessor, such lender and Lessee, to access, examine and copy all agreements, records, documentation and information relating to Lessee, the Guarantors, and such Leased Property, and to discuss such affairs and information with the officers, employees and independent public accountants of Lessee; provided, however, that (a) such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted during normal business hours, under the supervision of the Lessee, and in such a manner as to not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Property, (b) Lessee is not under any obligation to disclose to the Requesting Party any information, the disclosure of which is restricted by contract or applicable Law or would result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege. The additional costs of Lessee in complying with the foregoing shall be reimbursed to Lessee by Lessor.

40.6. | Non-Recourse as to Parties. |
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any claim based on, or in respect of, any liability of Lessor under this Lease shall be enforced only against the Leased Property and any proceeds therefrom and not against any other assets, properties or funds of (i) Lessor, (ii) any director, officer, general partner, member, shareholder, limited partner, beneficiary, employee, representative, contractor or agent of Lessor or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Lessor Parties”) (or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assign of Lessor or any of the Lessor Parties), (iii) any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or other entity) of Lessor or any of the Lessor Parties, either directly or through Lessor or the Lessor Parties, or (iv) any person or entity affiliated with any of the foregoing.

In no event shall Lessor, any Lessee, any of the Lessor Parties or any of the Lessee Parties be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, and even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
40.7. Covenants, Restrictions and Reciprocal Easements. Subject to the Oklahoma Ground Lease, the Kershaw Medical Center Lease and Lessee’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to place of record all covenants, restrictions and reciprocal easements on all or any portion of the Land (collectively, the “Declarations”) which Lessor deems reasonably necessary for the ownership of any Property, with such Declarations to be in form and content acceptable to Lessor in its reasonable discretion.
40.8. Force Majeure. Except for Rent and other monetary obligations payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease (which shall not be extended or excused), in the event that Lessor or Lessee shall be delayed, hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, or other industrial disturbances, inability to procure materials, failure of power, unavailability of any utility service, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, acts of public enemies, war, blockades, riots,
92
insurrections, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, civil disturbances, weather-related acts of God, failure to act, or default of another party, or other reason beyond Lessor’s or Lessee’s control (individually “Force Majeure”), then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period of the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. Within ten (10) Business Days following the occurrence of Force Majeure, the party claiming a delay due to such event shall give written notice to the other setting forth a reasonable estimate of such delay.
40.9. Management Agreements. Lessee shall not engage or replace any Management Company without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall be in Lessor’s sole discretion; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor’s consent, replace the Management Company so long as, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, (i) the replacement manager is a Qualified Manager engaged pursuant to a replacement Management Agreement, and (ii) the replacement Management Agreement is entered into concurrently with the termination of the prior Management Agreement. Lessee shall require any Management Company to execute and deliver to Lessor within ten (10) Business Days from Lessor’s request an estoppel certificate, as required by Lessor and/or any Facility Lender, in such form and content as is reasonably acceptable to Lessor and/or such Facility Lender.
40.10. Lessee Non-Competition.
(a) Each Facility Lessee agrees that while the Lease is in place and, if such Lease is terminated due to an Event of Default by Lessee, then for a period of three (3) years thereafter (the “Noncompete Period”), no Facility Lessee shall, directly or indirectly, acquire, finance, guarantee indebtedness, own, lease, manage, develop or provide services in connection with the acquisition, ownership, operation or development of any real estate located within ten (10) miles of any point on or within any Property, which real estate is used in a Competing Business. Any violation of the provisions of this Section 40.10 shall suspend the Noncompete Period for the duration of such violation. “Competing Business” shall mean any healthcare business which involves the provision of general acute care services, long term care services, rehabilitation services and skilled nursing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Facility Lessee from acquiring, owning, operating or developing real estate, the acquisition, ownership, operation or development of which by such Facility Lessee will not have an adverse effect on the applicable Property, or the ability of such Facility Lessee to perform its obligations under this Lease, all as determined in the reasonable discretion of Lessor.
(b) Lessee agrees that the restrictions contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Lessor, and that any violation of the provisions would result in damages which cannot be adequately compensated by money alone. Lessee agrees that Lessor will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief without proving actual damages or posting any bond in the event of any violation of the restrictions contained herein; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or be construed to prohibit or limit the right of Lessor to pursue any other legal and equitable remedies available to it on account of such breach or violation, including the recovery of damages from Lessee.
93
(c) If any court shall hold that the duration or scope of this Section 40.10 (geographic or otherwise) is unreasonable or invalid, then the provisions of this Section 40.10 shall remain in effect for whatever time period or geographic area that such court does not declare to be unreasonable or invalid. In addition, if any court shall hold that the duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of this Section 40.10 is unreasonable or invalid, then, to the extent permitted by law, the court may prescribe a maximum duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) that is judicially enforceable and not unreasonable and the parties agree to accept such judicial determination, which the parties agree shall be substituted in place of any and every judicially unenforceable provision of this Section 40.10, and that this Section 40.10, as so modified, shall be fully enforceable as if originally executed in such manner.
(d) The terms of this Section 40.10 are intended to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of all governmental and regulating authorities.

40.11. Lessor Non-Competition.
(a) Each Facility Lessor agrees that while the Lease is in place (the “Lessor Noncompete Period”) no Facility Lessor shall, directly or indirectly, acquire, finance, guarantee indebtedness, own, lease, manage, develop or provide services in connection with the acquisition, ownership, operation or development of any real estate located within ten (10) miles of any point on or within (i) any Property subject to this Lease or (ii) any “Property” subject to an Affiliate Separate Lease, which real estate or any portion thereof is utilized as a general acute care hospital or ambulatory surgery center. Any violation of the provisions of this Section 40.11 shall suspend the Lessor Noncompete Period for the duration of such violation; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Facility Lessor from acquiring, owning, operating or developing real estate, the acquisition, ownership, operation or development of which by such Facility Lessor will not have an adverse effect on the applicable Property, or the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under this Lease, all as determined in the reasonable discretion of Lessee.
(b) Lessor agrees that the restrictions contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Lessee and that any violation of the provisions would result in damages which cannot be adequately compensated by money alone. Lessor agrees that Lessee will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief without proving actual damages or posting any bond in the event of any violation of the restrictions contained herein; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or be construed to prohibit or limit the right of Lessee to pursue any other legal and equitable remedies available to it on account of such breach or violation, including the recovery of damages from Lessor.
94
(c) If any court shall hold that the duration or scope of this Section 40.11 (geographic or otherwise) is unreasonable or invalid, then the provisions of this Section 40.11 shall remain in effect for whatever time period or geographic area that such court does not declare to be unreasonable or invalid.

40.14. True Operating Lease. Lessor and Lessee agree that this Lease is intended as, and shall for all purposes (except in certain respects for accounting purposes under GAAP) constitute a true operating lease and not a capital lease or financing and nothing herein shall be construed as conveying to Lessee any right, title or interest in or to the Leased Property or to any remainder or reversionary estates in the Leased Property held by any Person, except, in each instance, as a lessee. Under no circumstances shall this Lease be regarded as an assignment of all of Lessor’s interest in and to the Leased Property; instead, Lessor and Lessee shall have the relationship between them of Lessor and Lessee, pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Lease. In no event shall Lessee, Capella Holdings or any of their respective Subsidiaries claim depreciation, amortization or interest deductions as owner of any portion of the Leased Property for United States federal, state or local income tax purposes (except as to Capital Additions not funded by Lessor). It is an integral condition of this Lease, and a material inducement to Lessor’s agreement to enter into this Lease, that Lessee agrees (except in certain respects for accounting purposes under GAAP) this Lease is an operating lease and not a capital lease or financing. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall shall assert, and each hereby waives, any right to demand, request or plead for the re-characterization of this Lease or any other Obligation Document, whether or not in a proceeding related to any bankruptcy or insolvency of Lessor or Lessee.
40.15. Intentionally Deleted.

THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LESSOR TO ENTER INTO THIS LEASE.
40.19. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
40.20. Survival. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that, all claims against, and liabilities of, Lessee or Lessor which relate to acts or omissions prior to the date of expiration or termination of this Lease, and the covenants and obligations under this Lease which expressly relate to periods after the expiration or earlier termination of Lessee’s tenancy under this Lease, including, without limitation, all indemnification obligations and those covenants and obligations described in Sections 8.1(final sentence only), 8.2(b), 8.3 (final sentence only), 16.2, 38.4, 38.5 and 40.3, and Articles XVIII, XIX and XXII, shall survive such expiration or earlier termination.

97
40.22. Specific Performance. In addition to any rights and remedies available to the parties hereunder or at law, each party shall be entitled to bring an action for specific performance and to seek other equitable relief in connection with any breach or violation, or any attempted breach or violation, of the provisions of this Lease.

40.28. Arbitration. If Lessee disputes Lessor’s determination of Fair Market Value Rent, Lessee shall give notice to Lessor of such dispute within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Rent Notice, and such dispute shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Expedited Procedures of the Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate Industry of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes, except that the rules shall be modified as follows:
(a) In its demand for arbitration, Lessee shall specify the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on Lessee’s behalf. The arbitrator shall be a real estate broker with at least ten (10) years full-time commercial retail brokerage experience who is familiar with the fair market value of comparable healthcare facility space in the county in which the Property is located. Failure on the part of Lessee to make the timely and proper demand for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto and the Allocable Base Rent shall be as set forth in the Rent Notice. Within ten (10) Business Days after the service of the demand for arbitration, Lessor shall give notice to Lessee specifying the name and address of the person designated by Lessor to act as arbitrator on its behalf, which arbitrator shall be similarly qualified. If Lessor fails to notify Lessee of the appointment of its arbitrator within such ten (10) Business Day period, and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days after Lessee delivers a second notice to Lessor, then the arbitrator appointed by Lessee shall be the arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Value Rent for the Property.
100
(b) If two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Section 40.28(a), the arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed and shall seek to reach agreement on Fair Market Value Rent. If, within twenty (20) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed, the two arbitrators are unable to reach agreement on Fair Market Value Rent, then the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to Section 40.28(a). The third arbitrator shall decide the dispute, if it has not been previously resolved, by following the procedures set forth in Section 40.28(c). Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator. Attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel and of witnesses for the respective parties shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.
(c) Fair Market Value Rent shall be fixed by the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedures. Concurrently with the appointment of the third arbitrator, each of the arbitrators selected by the parties shall state, in writing, his or her determination of the Fair Market Value Rent supported by the reasons therefor. The third arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Value Rent, but any such determination shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross-examine. The third arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after being appointed, select which of the two proposed determinations most closely approximates his or her determination of Fair Market Value Rent. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations. The determination he or she chooses as that most closely approximating his or her determination of the Fair Market Value Rent shall constitute the decision of the third arbitrator and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The third arbitrator shall render the decision in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The third arbitrator shall have no power to add to or modify the provisions of this Lease. Promptly following receipt of the third arbitrator’s decision, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease evidencing the extension of the Lease Term for the third (3rd) Extension Term and confirming the Allocable Base Rent for the Extension Term, but the failure of the parties to do so shall not affect the effectiveness of the third arbitrator’s determination.
(d) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him or her, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his or her successor shall be appointed in the same manner as that set forth herein with respect to the appointment of the original third arbitrator.
