of Tenant, reasonably exercised, the Facility cannot by operated on a
commercially practicable basis for its Primary Intended Use taking into account,
among other relevant factors, the number of usable beds affected by such damage
or destruction or partial taking.

Unavoidable Delays: Delays due to strikes, lockouts, inability to
------------------
procure materials, power failure, acts of God, governmental restrictions, enemy
action, civil commotion, fire, unavoidable casualty or other causes beyond the
control of the party responsible for performing an obligation hereunder,
provided that lack of funds shall not be deemed a cause beyond the control of
either party hereto unless such lack of funds is caused by the failure of the
other party hereto to perform any obligations of such party, under this Lease,
or any guaranty of this Lease, including any obligation to provide financing
undertaken by Lessor pursuant to Article X below.
ARTICLE III
-----------
Section 3.1. Rent. Tenant will pay to Lessor, in lawful money of the
----
United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public
and private debts, at Lessor's address set forth above or at such other place or
to such other person, firms or corporations as Lessor from time to time may
designate in writing, Minimum Rent (as defined below) and Additional Charges (as
defined below) during the Term, as hereinafter provided.
(a) Minimum Rent: The annual sum of $_______, payable in advance in equal,
------------
consecutive monthly installments, on the first day of each calendar month of the
Fixed Term and each Extended Term; provided, however, that the first monthly
payment of Minimum Rent shall be payable on the Commencement Date and that the
first and last monthly payments of Minimum Rent shall be prorated as to any
partial month (subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 10.3(b)(iv) and
14.6 below). In the event that this Lease is terminated as to a particular
Leased Property, or a substitute master lease is entered into as to a particular
Leased Property pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, the Minimum Rent
payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount opposite the applicable Leased
Property on Exhibit C annexed hereto. The amount of Minimum Rent payable
---------
hereunder shall increase on each anniversary of the date of this Lease by an
amount equal to the Escalation Amount, provided that the Net Patient Service
Revenues for the previous Lease Year shall be equal to or exceed 75% of the Net
Patient Service Revenues for the 1997 calendar year. In the event that a Lease
Supplement is delivered pursuant to Section 7.4, the Minimum Rent payable
hereunder shall increase by the amount set forth in such Lease Supplement.
(b) Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent payable with
------------------
respect to the applicable Leased Property, Tenant shall pay and discharge as and
when due and payable the following (collectively "Additional Charges"):
------------------
(1) Impositions. Tenant shall pay all Impositions before
-----------
any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-
payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing
authorities where
11
feasible, and shall promptly upon request, furnish to Lessor
copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof
evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may, at the
option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments
(whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance
of such Imposition), subject to the terms of any applicable
Facility Mortgage, Tenant may exercise the option to pay
same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay
such installments during the Term as the same may become due
and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or
cost may be added thereto.
(2) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay all charges for
---------------
electricity, power, gas, oil, water, sanitary and storm
sewer, refuse collection, medical waste disposal and other
utilities used or consumed in connection with each Leased
Property during the Term.
(3) Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall pay all premiums for
------------------
the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to
Article XIII hereof.
(4) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay all other amounts,
-------------
liabilities and obligations that Tenant assumes or agrees to
pay under this Lease, including, without limitation, all
agreements to indemnify Lessor under Sections 12.1 and 24.1
and any and all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Tenant
in the operation of its business at the Facility.
(5) Late Payment of Rent. If any installment of Minimum
--------------------
Rent, or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional
Charges which are payable directly to Lessor or Lessor's
agent or assignee) shall not be paid within five (5)
Business Days after its due date, Tenant will pay to Lessor
on demand a late charge (to the extent permitted by law)
computed at the Overdue Rate (or at the maximum rate
permitted by law, whichever is the lesser) on the amount of
such installment, from the due date of such installment to
the date of payment thereof.
To the extent that Tenant pays any Additional Charges to Lessor pursuant to any
requirement of this Lease, Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay
such Additional Charges to the entity to which they would otherwise be due. If
any Facility Mortgagee shall so require, or if any Additional Charges shall not
be paid to a third party
12
payee within five (5) Business Days after its due date, Lessor may at any time
thereafter, at Lessor's option, require Tenant to deposit into an escrow account
under the sole dominion and control of Lessor (or the applicable Facility
Mortgagee), on the first day of each and every month, an amount sufficient to
insure that such escrow account shall contain an amount sufficient to make such
payment on its next due date, in which event Lessor shall make all future
payments for such expense from the escrow account. In the event of any failure
by Tenant to pay any Additional Charges when due, Tenant shall promptly pay and
discharge, as Additional Charges, every fine, penalty, interest and cost that
may be added for non-payment or late payment of such items. Lessor shall have
all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either
in this Lease or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-payment of the
Minimum Rent.
Section 3.2. Net Lease. The Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor,
---------
without any rights of deduction, set-off or abatement, so that this Lease shall
yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Minimum Rent and
Additional Charges, throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this
Lease which expressly provide for termination of this Lease with respect to a
Leased Property.
ARTICLE IV
----------
Section 4.1. Payment of Impositions. Subject to Article XII relating to
----------------------
permitted contests, Tenant will pay all Impositions as set forth in Section
3.1(b)(1). Tenant's obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed
absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased
Property or any part thereof. 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 Tenant, 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 in respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall
be paid over to or retained by Tenant if no Event of Default shall have occurred
hereunder and be continuing. Any such funds retained by Lessor due to an Event
of Default shall be applied as provided in Article XVI. Lessor and Tenant
shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the
party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be
necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event governmental
authorities classify any property covered by this Master Lease as personal
property, Tenant 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 Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the
other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for
filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. Where
Lessor is legally required to file personal property
13
tax returns, Tenant will be provided with copies of assessment notices
indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant
to file a protest. Tenant may, upon notice to Lessor, at Tenant's option and at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other
proceedings as Tenant may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate
or personal property assessments and Lessor, at Tenant's expense as aforesaid,
shall fully cooperate with Tenant in such protest, appeal, or other action.
Xxxxxxxx for reimbursement by Tenant 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.
Section 4.2. Notice of Impositions. Lessor shall give prompt notice to
---------------------
Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Lessor at any
time has knowledge, but Lessor's failure to give any such notice shall in no way
diminish Tenant's obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions.
Section 4.3. Adjustment of Impositions. Impositions imposed in respect
-------------------------
of the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and
prorated between Lessor and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed
before or after such termination, and Tenant's obligation to pay its prorated
share thereof shall survive such termination.
ARTICLE V
----------
Section 5.1. No Termination, Abatement, etc. Except as otherwise
-------------------------------
specifically provided in this Master Lease, Tenant, to the extent permitted by
law, shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall
neither take any action without the consent of Lessor to modify, surrender or
terminate the same, nor seek nor be entitled to any abatement, deduction,
deferment or reduction of Rent, or set-off against the Rent, nor shall the
respective obligations of Lessor and Tenant be otherwise affected by reason of
(a) any damage to, or destruction of, any Leased Property or any portion thereof
from whatever cause or any Taking of any Leased Property or any portion thereof,
(b) the interruption or discontinuance of any service or utility servicing any
Leased Property (c) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon,
Tenant's use of any Leased Property, or any portion thereof, the interference
with such use by any person, corporation, partnership or other entity, or by
reason of eviction by paramount title, (d) any claim which Tenant has or might
have against Lessor or by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by
Lessor under this Master Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Tenant,
or to which Lessor and Tenant are parties, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up
or other proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor,
or (f) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing
other than a discharge of Tenant from any such obligations as a matter of law.
14
Tenant 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 Master Lease or quit or surrender the Leased
Property or any portion thereof, or (ii) entitle Tenant to any abatement,
reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant
hereunder. The obligations of Lessor and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and
independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by
Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the
obligations to pay the same shall be terminated by termination of this Lease as
to any Leased Property other than by reason of an Event of Default.

the Leased Property is the property of the Lessor listed on Exhibit B and that
Tenant has only the right to the exclusive possession and use of the Leased
Property upon the terms and conditions of this Master Lease.
Section 6.2. Tenant's Personal Property. Tenant may (and shall as

provided hereinbelow), at its expense, install, affix or assemble or place on
any parcels of the Land or in any of the Leased Improvements, any items of

Personal Property as shall be necessary in order to operate each Facility in
compliance with all licensure and certification requirements in compliance with
all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements and otherwise in
accordance with customary practice in the industry for the Primary Intended Use.
All of Tenant's Personal Property not removed by Tenant within twenty-one days
following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to
the applicable Leased Property where such Tenant's Personal Property is located
shall be considered abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed
or otherwise disposed of by Lessor without first giving notice thereof to Tenant
and without any payment to Tenant and without any obligation to account therefor
or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable law. Tenant will, at its
expense, restore such Leased Property to the condition required by Section
9.1(d), including repair of all damage to the Leased Property caused by the
removal of Tenant's Personal Property, whether effected by Tenant or Lessor.

to residents or patients therein, or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about
such Leased Property any article which may be prohibited by law or by the
standard form of fire insurance policies, or any other insurance policies

Use.
Section 7.2.5. Tenant shall neither suffer nor permit any Leased
Property or any portion thereof, including any Capital Addition whether or not

possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public,
as such, or of implied dedication of the applicable Leased Property or any

Certificate stating that such grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or

Section 7.4. Lessor and Tenant to Execute Lease Supplement. Lessor and
----------------------------------------------
Tenant agree that, with respect to certain Leased Properties indicated on
Exhibit A to be "Deferred Leased Properties", from time to time, and as certain

Tenant shall execute a Lease Supplement ("Lease Supplement") to provide that

ARTICLE VIII
------------
Section 8.1. Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements,
-------------------------------------------------
Instruments, etc. Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests,
-----------------
Tenant, at its expense, will promptly (a) comply with all material Legal
Requirements and Insurance Requirements in respect of the use, operation,
maintenance, repair and restoration of the applicable Leased Property, whether
or not compliance therewith shall require structural changes in any of the
Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of such Leased
Property and (b) procure, maintain and comply with all licenses, certificates of
need and other authorizations required for any use of the applicable Leased
Property and Tenant's Personal Property then being made, and for the proper
erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the applicable Leased

Additions. In the event that Tenant shall receive notice from any state
authority that Tenant is not in compliance with any license, permit, approval,
certificate of need or certification for reimbursement under medicare or
medicaid (with respect to any Facility that participates in such programs),
Tenant shall promptly send notice to Lessor and Tenant shall remedy any
condition causing such noncompliance no later than thirty (30) days after Tenant

In addition, Tenant shall promptly send to Lessor any material deficiency report
Tenant receives from any state or federal licensure board or certification
authority with respect to any Facility if Tenant has not cured such deficiency
within the applicable cure period.
Section 8.2. Legal Requirement Covenants. Tenant covenants and agrees
---------------------------
that none of the Leased Properties nor any of Tenant's Personal Property shall
be used for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall acquire and maintain all
licenses, certificates, permits, provider agreements and other authorizations
and approvals needed to operate the applicable Leased Property in its customary
manner for the Primary Intended Use, and any other use conducted on such Leased
Property as may be permitted from time to time hereunder. Tenant further
covenants and agrees that Tenant's use of each Leased Property and maintenance,
alteration, and operation of the same, and all parts thereof, shall at all times
conform to all applicable local, state, and federal laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations unless the same are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unlawful. Tenant may, however, upon prior written notice to Lessor, contest the
legality or applicability of any such law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or any
licensure or certification decision if Tenant maintains such action in good
faith, with due diligence, without prejudice to Lessor's rights hereunder, and
at Tenant's own expense. If by the terms of any such law, ordinance, rule or
regulation, compliance therewith pending the prosecution of any such proceeding
may legally be delayed without the occurrence of any lien, charge or liability
of any kind against the applicable Facility or Tenant's leasehold interest
therein and without subjecting Tenant or Lessor to any liability, civil or
criminal, for failure so to comply therewith, Tenant may delay compliance
therewith until the final determination of such proceeding. If any lien, charge
or civil or criminal liability would be incurred by reason of any such delay,
Tenant, on the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, may nonetheless contest as aforesaid and delay as
aforesaid provided that such delay would not subject Lessor to criminal
liability and Tenant both (a) furnishes to Lessor security reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor against any loss or injury by reason of such contest or
delay, and (b) prosecutes the contest with due diligence and in good faith.
ARTICLE IX
-----------
Section 9.1. Maintenance and Repair.
----------------------
(a) Tenant, at its expense, shall keep each Leased Property and all
private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto and which are under
Tenant's control (and Tenant's Personal Property) in good order and repair,
reasonable wear and tear excepted (whether or not the need for such repairs
occurs as a result of Tenant's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of
such Leased Property, Tenant's Personal Property, or any portion thereof), and,
except as otherwise provided in Article XIV, shall promptly make all necessary
and appropriate repairs and replacements thereto,
19
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). All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably achievable, be made
in good, workmanlike and first-class manner, in accordance with all applicable
federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, by-laws, codes, rules and
regulations relating to such work. Tenant will not take or omit to take any
action the taking or omission of which might materially impair the value or
usefulness of the applicable Leased Property or any part thereof for its Primary
Intended Use.
(b) Lessor shall not under any circumstances be required to build or
rebuild any improvements on any Leased Property, or to make any repairs,
replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description
to the applicable Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural
or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever
with respect thereto, in connection with this Lease, or to maintain any Leased
Property in any way, except as expressly provided herein. Tenant hereby waives,
to the extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of
Lessor pursuant to any law in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease
or thereafter enacted.
(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, nothing contained in
this Lease and no action or inaction by Lessor shall be construed as (i)
constituting the consent or request of Lessor, express or implied, to any
contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to or for the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other
property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or
to any Leased Property or any part thereof, or (ii) giving Tenant any right,
power or permission to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other 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
any Leased Property, or any portion thereof.
(d) Tenant will, upon the expiration or prior termination of the Term,
vacate and surrender the applicable Leased Property to Lessor in the condition
in which such Leased Property was originally received from Lessor, except as
repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the
provisions of this Lease and except for ordinary wear and tear (subject to the
obligation of Tenant to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair
during the entire Term).
20
(e) Tenant shall establish and maintain any reserve accounts
reasonably required by a Superior Mortgagee for deferred maintenance conditions
and for capital expenditures at the Leased Property.
Section 9.2. Encroachments, Restrictions, etc. If any of the Leased
---------------------------------
Improvements on any Leased Property shall, at any time, encroach upon any
property, street or right-of-way adjacent to such Leased Property, or shall
violate the agreements or conditions contained in any lawful restrictive
covenant or other agreement affecting such Leased Property, or any part thereof,
or shall impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way to which
the Leased Property is subject, then promptly upon the request of Lessor or at
the behest of any person affected by any such encroachment, violation or
impairment, Tenant shall, at its expense, subject to its right to contest the
existence of any encroachment, violation or impairment and in such case, in the
event of any adverse final determination, either (i) obtain valid and effective
waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from
each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall affect
Lessor or Tenant or (ii) make such changes in the Leased Improvements, and take
such other actions, as Tenant in good faith exercise of its judgment deems
reasonably practicable, to remove such encroachment, and to end such violation
or impairment, including, if necessary, the alteration of any of the Leased
Improvements, and in any event take all such actions as may be necessary in
order to be able to continue the operation of the Leased Improvements for the
Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and to the extent the Leased
Improvements were operated prior to the assertion of such violation or
encroachment. Any such alteration shall be made in conformity with the
applicable requirements of Article X. Tenant's obligations under this Section
9.2 shall be in addition to and shall in no way discharge or diminish any
obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance and
Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Lessor under any
such policy of title or other insurance.
ARTICLE X
----------
Section 10.1. Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property.
--------------------------------------------------------
If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall have
the right, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to
construct or install Capital Additions on any Leased Property. Prior to
commencing construction of any Capital Addition, Tenant shall submit to Lessor
in writing a proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any proposed Capital
Addition and shall provide to Lessor such plans and specifications, permits,
licenses, contracts, construction schedules, construction budgets and other
information concerning the proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably
request showing in reasonable detail the scope and nature of the Capital
Addition that Tenant desires to construct (collectively the "Plans and
---------
Specifications"). It is the intent of the parties hereto that the level of
--------------
detail shall be comparable to that which
21
is referred to in the architectural profession as "design development drawings"
as opposed to working or biddable drawings. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, such proposal shall indicate the approximate projected cost of
constructing such Capital Addition and the use or uses to which it will be put.
Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition, Tenant shall first
request Lessor to provide funds to pay for such Capital Addition in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.3. If Lessor declines or is unable to provide
such financing on terms acceptable to Tenant, Tenant shall provide to Lessor,
prior to commencement of any construction, proof reasonably acceptable to Lessor
that Tenant has sufficient capital to complete the construction. Furthermore, no
Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any Leased
Improvements on the Leased Property with any other improvements on property
adjacent to the Leased Property (and not part of the land covered by this Master
Lease) including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures
or utilities, unless Tenant shall have obtained the prior written approval of
Lessor, which approval in Lessor's sole discretion may be granted, withheld or
conditioned. Tenant shall reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses incurred
by Lessor in reviewing the proposal and the Plans and Specifications for a
Capital Addition and for inspecting the applicable Leased Property and otherwise
monitoring the construction of the Capital Addition.
Section 10.2. Capital Additions Financed by Tenant. If Tenant provides
------------------------------------
or arranges such financing, there shall be no adjustment in the Minimum Rent by
reason of any such Capital Addition.
Section 10.3. Capital Additions Financed by Lessor.
------------------------------------
(a) Tenant shall request that Lessor provide or arrange financing for
a Capital Addition by providing to Lessor such information about the Capital
Addition as Lessor may request including without limitation all information
referred to in Section 10.1 above. Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation
to, obtain the funds necessary to meet the request. Within sixty (60) days
after receipt of a request, Lessor shall notify Tenant as to whether it will
finance the proposed Capital Addition and, if so, the terms and conditions upon
which it would do so, including the terms of any amendment to this Master Lease.
In no event shall the portion of the projected Capital Additions Cost comprised
of land, if any, materials, labor charges and fixtures be less than ninety
percent (90%) of the total amount of such cost. Tenant may withdraw its request
by notice to Lessor at any time before or after receipt of Lessor's terms and
conditions. If Tenant desires to accept Lessor's offer to finance the proposed
Capital Addition, Tenant shall notify Lessor within thirty (30) days after
Tenant's receipt of Lessor's offer.
22

however, the provisions of this Article XII shall not be construed to permit

Section 13.1. General Insurance Requirements. Subject to the provisions
------------------------------
of Section 13.9, during the Term, Tenant shall at all times keep each Leased
Property, and all property located in or on any Leased Property, including
Tenant's Personal Property, insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance
described below. This insurance shall be written by companies authorized to do
insurance business in the State in which the applicable Leased Property is
located, which companies shall have a rating at least as high as the rating
required by any applicable Facility Mortgagee. The policies must name as loss
payee (i) the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement
("Facility Mortgagee") securing any Encumbrance placed on the applicable Leased
------------------
Property in accordance with the provisions of Article XXXVIII ("Facility
--------
Mortgage") by way of a standard form of mortgagee's loss payable endorsement or
--------
(ii) if no such Facility Mortgage encumbers the applicable Leased Property, the
Lessor. Losses shall be payable to Lessor and/or Superior Mortgagee as provided
in Article XIV. Any loss adjustment shall require the written consent of Lessor,
Tenant, Leasehold Mortgagee and Facility Mortgagee whenever the loss exceeds
twenty percent (20%) of the Facility's
28
Fair Market Value. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Lessor and, if
requested, with any Superior Lessor, Leasehold Mortgagee and Facility
Mortgagee(s). If any provision of any Facility Mortgage requires deposits of
insurance premiums to be made with such Facility Mortgagee, Tenant shall either
pay to Lessor monthly the amounts required and Lessor shall transfer such
amounts to each Facility Mortgagee, or, pursuant to written direction by Lessor,
Tenant shall make such deposits directly with such Facility Mortgagee. The
policies on each Leased Property, including the Leased Improvements, and
Fixtures and Tenant's Personal Property, shall insure against the following
risks:
Section 13.1.1. Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious
mischief, extended coverage perils commonly known as "All Risk," earthquake and
all physical loss perils including but not limited to sprinkler leakage in an
amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the then full replacement
cost thereof (as defined below in Section 13.2);
Section 13.1.2. Loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers,
pressure vessels or similar apparatus, now or hereafter installed in the

time;

a rental income insurance policy covering risk of loss during the actual
restoration period plus an additional 365 days necessitated by the occurrence of
any of the hazards described in Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.2 in such amounts as may
be customary for comparable properties in the area and in an amount sufficient
to prevent Lessor from becoming a co-insurer;
Section 13.1.4. Claims for personal injury or property damage under a
policy of comprehensive general accident and public liability insurance (in the
broadest form available, including, without limitation, broad form contractual
liability, independent contractor's hazard and completed operations coverage)
with amounts not less than Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) per
occurrence in respect of bodily injury and death and Fifty Million No/100
Dollars ($50,000,000.00) for property damage;
Section 13.1.5. Claims arising out of malpractice in an amount not
less than Twenty Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00)* for each

in whole or in part within a designated flood _____ area) and such other hazards
and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the area.
Section 13.1.7. Loss or damage caused by breakage of plate glass, if
any, in commercially reasonable amounts acceptable to Lessor.

insurance including employee dishonesty, loss of money orders or paper currency,
depositor's forgery, and loss of property of patients accepted by Tenant for
safekeeping, in commercially reasonable amounts acceptable to Lessor.
Section 13.2. Replacement Cost. The term "full replacement cost" as used
----------------
herein, shall mean the actual replacement cost of the property requiring
replacement from time to time including an increased cost of construction
endorsement, without reduction or deduction. Tenant shall have the full
replacement cost redetermined by an accredited appraiser approved by Lessor
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), hereinafter
referred to as "impartial appraiser", every five years during the Term, and at
such other times that either party believes that full replacement cost has
increased or decreased. Tenant shall forthwith, on receipt of such
determination by such impartial appraiser, give written notice thereof to
Lessor. The determination of such impartial appraiser shall be final and
binding on the parties hereto, and Tenant shall forthwith increase, or may
decrease, the amount of the insurance carried pursuant to this Section, as the
case may be, to the amount so determined by the impartial appraiser. Each party
shall pay one-half ( 1/2) of the fee, if any, of the impartial appraiser.
Section 13.3. Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance
--------------------
described above, Tenant shall maintain such additional insurance as may
reasonably be required from time to time by any Facility Mortgagee and, further,
shall at all times maintain adequate worker's compensation insurance coverage
for all persons employed by Tenant on each Leased Property. Such worker's
compensation insurance shall be in accordance with the requirements of
applicable local, state and federal law.
Section 13.4. Waiver of Subrogation. Lessor and Tenant agree that
---------------------
(insofar as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without
invalidating or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from
responsible insurance companies doing business in the State) with respect to any
property loss that is covered by insurance then being carried by Lessor or
Tenant, respectively, the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss
releases the other of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and
they further agree that their respective insurance companies shall have no right
of subrogation against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium
may result therefrom.
30
Section 13.5. Form Satisfactory, etc. All of the policies of insurance
-----------------------
referred to in this Section shall be written in form satisfactory to Lessor and
any Superior Lessor and Facility Mortgagee and by insurance companies
satisfactory to Lessor and any Superior Lessor and Facility Mortgagee. Lessor
agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold its approval as to the form of the
policies of insurance or as to the insurance companies selected by Tenant.
Tenant shall pay all of the premiums therefor, and deliver such policies or
certificates thereof to Lessor prior to their effective date (and, with respect
to any renewal policy, at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the
existing policy), and in the event of the failure of Tenant either to effect
such insurance in the names herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor,
or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor and each Superior
Lessor and Facility Mortgagee at the times required, Lessor shall be entitled,
but shall have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums
therefor, which premiums shall be repayable to Lessor upon written demand
therefor, and failure to repay the same shall constitute an Event of Default
within the meaning of Section 16.1(c). Each insurer mentioned in this Section
shall agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies issued by it, or by
independent instrument furnished to Lessor and any Superior Lessor and Facility
Mortgagee, that it will give to Lessor thirty (30) days' written notice before
the policy or policies in question shall be materially altered, allowed to
expire or canceled.
Section 13.6. Increase in Limits. In the event that either party shall
------------------
at any time deem the limits of the personal injury or property damage public
liability insurance then carried to be either excessive or 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. 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. Nothing herein shall permit the
amount of insurance to be reduced below the amount or amounts required by any of
the Facility Mortgages or by any Superior Lessor.
Section 13.7. Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
--------------
contained in this Section but subject to any requirements of any applicable
Facility Mortgagee, Tenant'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 Tenant; provided, however, that
the coverage afforded Lessor will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be
different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other
requirements of this Lease by reason of the use of such blanket policy of
insurance, and provided further that the requirements of this Article XIII are
otherwise satisfied. Without limiting the foregoing, the amounts of insurance
that are required to be maintained pursuant to Section 13.1 shall be on a
Facility by Facility basis.
31
Section 13.8. No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not on Tenant's own
---------------------
initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any third party, take
out separate insurance concurrent in form of contributing in the event of loss
with that required in this Article, or increase the amounts of any then existing
insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all
parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance,
including in all cases Lessor and all Superior Lessors and Facility Mortgagees,
are included therein as additional insureds, and the loss is payable under said
insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this Lease. Tenant
shall immediately 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.
ARTICLE XIV
------------
Section 14.1. Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds payable by reason of any
------------------
loss or damage to the applicable Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and
insured under any policy of insurance required by Article XIII shall be paid to
Lessor or a third party designated by Lessor and held by Lessor or such third
party in trust 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 or such third party from time
to time for the reasonable costs of such reconstruction or repair. Any excess
proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or
reconstruction (or in the event neither Lessor nor Tenant 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 except as
otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV. All salvage
resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Lessor except that
any salvage relating to Tenant's Personal Property shall belong to Tenant.
Section 14.2. Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction
----------------------------------------------------
Covered by Insurance.
--------------------
Section 14.2.1. If during the Term, any Leased Property is totally
or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article
XIII and the Facility located thereon is rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary
Intended Use, Tenant shall either (A) restore the Facility to substantially the
same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction, or (B)
offer to acquire the applicable Leased Property from Lessor for a purchase price
equal to the Fair Market Value Purchase Price of the Leased Property immediately
prior to such damage or destruction. In the event Lessor does not accept
Tenant's offer to so purchase, Tenant may either withdraw its offer to purchase
the Leased Property and proceed to restore the Facility to substantially the
same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction
32
or terminate this Lease as to such Leased Property, in which event Lessor shall
be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds.
Section 14.2.2. If during the Term, any Leased Property is totally or
partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article
XIII, but the Facility located thereon is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for
its Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall restore such Facility to substantially
the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction.
Such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease as to such Leased
Property.
Section 14.2.3. If the cost of the repair or restoration of any
Leased Property exceeds the amount of proceeds received by Lessor from the
insurance required under Article XIII, Tenant shall be obligated to contribute
any excess amounts needed to restore such Leased Property. Such difference
shall be paid by Tenant to Lessor prior to the commencement of construction and
shall be held in trust together with any other insurance proceeds for
application to the cost of repair and restoration.
Section 14.2.4. In the event Lessor accepts Tenant's offer to
purchase the applicable Leased Property as provided above, this Lease shall
terminate as to the applicable Leased Property upon payment of the purchase
price and Lessor shall remit to Tenant all insurance proceeds pertaining to such
Leased Property then held in trust by Lessor or any third party designated by
Lessor.
Section 14.3. Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Not
--------------------------------------------------------
Covered by Insurance. If during the Term any Leased Property and the Facility
--------------------
located thereon is totally or partially destroyed from a risk not covered by the
insurance described in Article XIII, whether or not such damage or destruction
renders the Facility Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall
restore the Facility to substantially the same condition it was in immediately
before such damage or destruction and such damage or destruction shall not
terminate this Lease as to such Leased Property.
Section 14.4. Tenant's Property. All insurance proceeds payable by
-----------------
reason of any loss of or damage to any of the Tenant's Personal Property or
Capital Additions financed by Tenant shall be paid to Tenant and Tenant shall
hold such insurance proceeds in trust to pay the cost of repairing or replacing
damaged Tenant's Personal Property or Capital Additions financed by Tenant.
Section 14.5. Restoration of Tenant's Property. If Tenant is required or
--------------------------------
elects to restore the applicable Leased Property as provided in Section 14.2 or
14.3, Tenant shall also restore all alterations and improvements made by Tenant,
Tenant's Personal Property and all Capital Additions financed by Tenant.
33
Section 14.6. No Abatement of Rent. This Lease shall remain in full
--------------------
force and effect and Tenant's obligation to make payments of Rent and to pay all
other charges required under this Lease shall remain unabated during the Term
notwithstanding any damage involving any Leased Property (provided that Lessor
shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to Lessor as a consequence
of such damage under any business interruption insurance obtained by Tenant);
provided, however, that, effective upon the purchase of any Leased Property or
-------- -------
termination of this Lease as to the applicable Leased Property pursuant to and
in accordance with Section 14.2, this Lease shall terminate as to such Leased
Property. The provisions of this Article 14 shall be considered an express
agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction to the applicable Leased
Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or state statute,
law, rule, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provides for
such a contingency shall have any application in such case.
Section 14.7. Restoration. If Tenant is required or elects to restore
-----------
the applicable Leased Property as provided in Section 14.2 or 14.3, Tenant shall
promptly repair, rebuild, or restore the applicable Leased Property, so as to
make such Leased Property at least equal in value to such Leased Property as it
existed immediately prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar to it in
character as is practicable and reasonable. Prior to commencing such repairs or
rebuilding, Tenant shall submit to Lessor for Lessor's approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Plans and Specifications pursuant
to Section 10.1. Promptly after receiving Lessor's approval of the Plans and
Specifications, Tenant shall commence repairs and rebuilding and will prosecute
the repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however, to
strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, and other
causes beyond Tenant's reasonable control. Subject to the provisions of any
applicable Facility Mortgage, Lessor shall make available to Tenant the
insurance proceeds (net of all administrative and collection costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees) paid to Lessor for such repair and rebuilding as it
progresses. Payments shall be made against certification of the architect
approved by Lessor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld)
responsible for the supervision of the repairs and rebuilding that the work had
been performed substantially in conformance with the Plans and Specifications
and the value of the work in place is equal to not less than 110% of the
aggregate amount advanced by Lessor for the payment of such work. Prior to the
commencing the repairing and rebuilding, Tenant shall deliver to Lessor for
Lessor's approval a schedule setting forth the estimated monthly draws for such
work. Subject to the provisions of any applicable Facility Mortgage, Lessor
shall contribute to such payments out of the insurance proceeds being held in
trust by Lessor an amount equal to the proportion that the total net amount so
held by Lessor bears to the total estimated cost of repairing and rebuilding,
multiplied by the payment by Tenant on account of such work. Lessor may,
however, withhold ten percent (10%) from each payment until the work has been
completed and proof has been furnished to Lessor that no lien or liability
34
has attached or will attach to the applicable Leased Property or to Lessor in
connection with repairing and rebuilding.
Section 14.8. Termination of Rights of First Refusal. Any termination of
--------------------------------------
this Lease as to the applicable Leased Property pursuant to this Article XIV
shall cause any right of first refusal granted to Tenant under this Lease as to
the applicable Leased Property to be terminated and to be without further force
or effect.
Section 14.9. Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of
------
termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the
applicable Leased Property which Tenant is obligated to restore or may restore
under any of the provisions of this Lease.

credit against such payments any amount of any Award attributable to Tenant's
business interruption).
Section 15.5. Restoration. If there is a partial taking of the
-----------
applicable Leased Property and this Lease remains in full force and effect
pursuant to Section 15.4, Tenant at its cost shall accomplish all necessary
restoration.
Section 15.6. Award-Distribution. (a) In the event of any partial
------------------
taking of any Leased Property, the entire Award shall belong to and be paid to
Lessor, except that, subject to the rights of the Facility Mortgagees, Tenant
shall be entitled to receive from the Award, if and to the extent such Award
specifically includes such item, the following:
Section 15.6.1. A sum attributable to the Capital Additions paid for
by Tenant; and
Section 15.6.2. A sum specifically attributable to Tenant's Personal
Property and any reasonable removal and relocation costs included in the Award.

be divided between the Lessor and the Tenant in such proportions relative to the
appraised values of their relative estates determined in accordance with Section
35.1, taking into account the value of improvements owned by the Lessor and
Capital Additions paid for by the Tenant. Tenant shall also receive a sum
specifically attributable to Tenant's Personal Property and any reasonable
removal and relocation costs included in the Award.
36
Section 15.7. Temporary Taking. The taking of any Leased 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 Master Lease shall remain in full force and
effect except that the Minimum Rent shall not be abated or reduced during such
period of taking.

extended to such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) as may be necessary to
cure such default with all due diligence provided that such cure is completed
within 180 days, or
(d) if Tenant shall fail to observe or perform any term, covenant or

currently operated, or
(g) any material representation or warranty made by or on behalf of Tenant
or any Guarantor under or in connection with this Lease or any document,
37
certificate or agreement delivered in connection with this Lease shall prove to
have been false or misleading in any material respect on the day when made or

or
(i) any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant or Guarantor or

on the Commencement Date or there shall occur a revocation of certification for
reimbursement under Medicare with respect to any Facility that participates in
such programs, or
(n) if Tenant shall become subject to regulatory sanctions and the
Tenant has failed to cure or satisfy such regulatory sanctions within its
specified cure period in any material respect with respect to any Facility, and
in any such event,
Lessor may terminate this Lease by giving not less than ten (10) days' notice of
such termination and upon the expiration of the time fixed in such notice, if
any, the Term shall terminate and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall
cease. Lessor shall have all rights at law and in equity available to Lessor as
a result of Tenant's breach of this Lease.
Tenant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, pay as
Additional Charges all Litigation Costs as a result of any Event of Default
hereunder.
Section 16.2. Certain Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have
----------------
occurred (and the event giving rise to such Event of Default has not been cured
within the curative period relating thereto as set forth in Section 16.1 above)
and be continuing, whether or not this Lease has been terminated pursuant to
Section 16.1, Tenant shall, to the extent permitted by law, if required by
Lessor so to do, immediately surrender to Lessor the Leased Property pursuant to
the provisions of Section 16.1 and quit the same, and Lessor may enter upon and
repossess the Leased Property by reasonable force, summary proceedings,
ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Tenant and all other persons and any and
all personal property from the Leased Property subject to rights of any
residents or patients and to any requirement of law. Lessor and Tenant hereby
agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 16.1 (f),
(m) or (n), Lessor may, if it so desires, terminate the lease with respect to
the Facility that is the subject of the Event of Default and collect liquidated
damages in an amount equal to the net present value at the time of the
occurrence of the Event of Default of the amount designated in Exhibit C as
attributable to such Facility multiplied by the number of years remaining on the
-------------
lease and discounted at a rate equal to the Prime Rate; provided that after the
--------
occurrence of four (4) Events of Default under Section 16.1 (f), (m) and/or (n),
determined on a cumulative basis (for example two Events of Default under (f)
and one each under (m) and (n)), Lessor shall be permitted, if it so desires, to
exercise all of the rights and remedies hereunder with respect to all Facilities
covered under this Lease, without regard to which Facility from which the Event
of Default emanated.
39
Section 16.3. Damages. Neither (a) the termination of this Lease
-------
pursuant to Section 16.1, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property or any
portion thereof, (c) the failure of Lessor, notwithstanding reasonable good
faith efforts to relet the Leased Property or any portion thereof, (d) the
reletting of all or any portion thereof, nor (e) the failure of Lessor to
collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Tenant
of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such
termination, repossession or reletting. In the event of any such termination,
Tenant shall forthwith pay to Lessor, at Lessor's option, as and for liquidated
and agreed current damages, either:
(A) the sum of:
(i) the net present value at the time of award of the unpaid Rent
which had been earned at the time of termination; and
(ii) the net present value at the time of award of the amount of
unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term without any obligation or
deemed obligation on the part of Lessor to mitigate damages.
In making the above determinations, the net present value at the
time of the award shall be determined by the court having
jurisdiction thereof using a discount rate equal to the Prime
Rate,
or (B)
without termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Leased
Property, each installment of Rent and other sums payable by
Tenant to Lessor under this Lease as the same becomes due and
payable, which Rent and other sums shall bear interest at the
maximum annual rate permitted by law from the date when due until
paid, and Lessor may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other
term or covenant of this Lease.
In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and
dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Lessor may (a) relet any
Leased Property or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Lessor or
otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Lessor's option, be equal to, less
than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of
the Term and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Lessor
considers advisable and necessary to relet the same, and (b) make such
reasonable alterations, repairs and decorations in the applicable Leased
Property or any portion thereof as Lessor, in its sole judgment, considers
advisable and necessary for the
40
purpose of reletting the applicable Leased Property; and the making of such
alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to
release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Lessor shall in no event
be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet any Leased Property, or, in
the event that any Leased Property is relet, for failure to collect the rent
under such reletting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or
future laws in the event of Tenant's being evicted or dispossessed, or in the
event of Lessor's obtaining possession of the applicable Leased Property, by
reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this
Lease.
Section 16.4. Tenant's Obligation to Purchase. If an Event of
-------------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by including such requirement in
the ten (10) day notice of termination of this Lease given to Tenant by Lessor
pursuant to the provisions of Section 16.1 or by separate notice given by Lessor
to Tenant at any time thereafter prior to the time such Event of Default shall
be cured, Lessor may require Tenant to purchase the Facility that is the subject
of the Event of Default or all Leased Properties on the first Minimum Rent
payment date occurring not less than thirty (30) days after the date of receipt
of, or such later date that is specified in, said notice requiring such purchase
for an amount equal to the higher of the then current Fair Market Value Purchase
Price or the Minimum Repurchase Price of the applicable Leased Property plus all
Rent then due and payable (excluding the installment of Minimum Rent due on the
purchase date) as of the date of purchase. If Lessor exercises such right,
Lessor shall convey such Leased Property to Tenant on the date fixed therefor in
accordance with the provisions of Article XVIII upon receipt of the purchase
price therefor and this Lease shall thereupon terminate. Any purchase by Tenant
of any Leased Property pursuant to this Section shall be in lieu of the damages
specified in Sections 16.3 with respect to such Leased Property.
Section 16.5. Waiver. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to
------
Section 16.1, Tenant waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
(a) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession, (b) any right to a trial
by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in
this Article XVI, and (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force
exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.
Section 16.6. Application of Funds. Any payments received by Lessor
--------------------
under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of
any Event of Default (and such payment is made to Lessor rather than Tenant due
to the existence of an Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant's
obligations in the order which Lessor may determine or as may be prescribed by
the laws of the State where the applicable Leased Property is located.
41
Section 16.7. Notice to Lessor. If Tenant or any subtenant receives
----------------
a notice of any material regulatory deficiency from any regulatory agency,
Tenant shall deliver a copy of such notice to Lessor in accordance with Section
34.1.
ARTICLE XVII
-------------
Section 17.1. Lessor's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If an Event
---------------------------------------
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 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 Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by
law, enter upon any or each Leased Property or any portion thereof 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
Tenant. All reasonable sums so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, in each
case, to the maximum extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with
interest thereon (to the maximum extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate
from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Lessor,
shall be paid by Tenant to Lessor on demand. The obligations of Tenant and
rights of Lessor contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Master Lease.
ARTICLE XVIII
--------------
Section 18.1. Provisions Relating to Purchase of the Leased Property.
------------------------------------------------------
In the event Tenant purchases any Leased Property from Lessor pursuant to any of
the terms of this Lease, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Tenant of the
applicable purchase price, together with full payment of all Rent due and
payable or other charges due and payable with respect to any period ending on or
before the date of the purchase, deliver to Tenant an appropriate deed or other
conveyance (in the customary form used to convey commercial properties within
the relevant jurisdiction) conveying the entire interest of Lessor in and to
such Leased Property to Tenant free and clear of all encumbrances other than (i)
those that Tenant has agreed hereunder to pay or discharge, (ii) those mortgage
liens, if any, which Tenant has agreed in writing to accept and to take title
subject to and (iii) Permitted Encumbrances. The difference between the
applicable purchase price and the total of the encumbrances assumed or taken
subject to shall be paid in cash to Lessor or as Lessor may direct, in federal
or other immediately available funds except as otherwise mutually agreed by
Lessor and Tenant other than as specifically provided above, such Leased
Property shall be conveyed to Tenant on an "as is" basis, and in its then
physical condition. Closing of any such sale shall be contingent upon and
subject to Tenant obtaining all required governmental consents and approvals for
such transfer and if such sale shall fail to be consummated by reason of the
inability of Tenant to obtain all such approvals and consents, any options to
extend the Term of this Master Lease which
42
otherwise would have expired during the escrow period to such proposed sale
shall be deemed to remain in effect for 30 days after termination of the escrow
or other arrangement covering the closing of such proposed sale. All expenses of
such conveyance, including, without limitation, the cost of title examination or
standard coverage title insurance, if reasonably required under the
circumstances then existing, attorneys' fees incurred [by Lessor] in connection
with such conveyance and release, and transfer taxes, shall be paid by Lessor,
except that such charges shall be paid by Tenant in case of a sale pursuant to
Section 16.4. Recording fees shall be paid for by Tenant.
ARTICLE XIX
------------
Section 19.1. Renewal Terms. If no Event of Default shall have
-------------
occurred and be continuing at the time Tenant gives notice as set forth below or
at the time of the commencement of the applicable Extended Term, Tenant is
hereby granted the right to renew this Lease, with respect to all, but not less
than all, of the Leased Properties within the applicable group as shown on
Exhibit D annexed hereto, for three (3) 5-year optional renewal terms
---------
(collectively the "Extended Terms" and each an "Extended Term") upon giving
-------------- -------------
written notice to Lessor of each such renewal at least one hundred eighty (180)
days but not more than three hundred sixty (360) days prior to the termination
of the then current Term. Tenant may not exercise its option for more than one
Extended Term at a time. During the first such Extended Term, all of the terms
and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except
that the Minimum Rent for and during such Extended Term shall be equal to the
Minimum Rent in effect on the last day of the Fixed Term, plus the Escalation
Amount. During each of the second Extended Term and the third Extended Term,
all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, except that the Rent for and during the Extended Terms shall be the then
current fair market rental ("Fair Market Rental") which unless otherwise
------------------
mutually agreed to by Lessor and Tenant shall be determined by the appraisal
procedure pursuant to the provisions of Article XXXV. If Tenant fails to notify
Lessor of the exercise of any extension option which Tenant has the right to
exercise hereunder prior to the required time, its option or options to extend
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for a period of thirty (30)
days after receipt of written notice from Lessor subsequent to the required time
setting forth the expiration date of this Lease and advising Tenant that notice
of extension has not been received.
ARTICLE XX
-----------
Section 20.1. Holding Over. If Tenant shall for any reason remain in
------------
possession of any Leased Property after the expiration of the Term or earlier
termination of the Term, such possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant
during which time Tenant shall pay as rental each month, one and one-half times
the aggregate of (i) one-twelfth of the aggregate Minimum Rent payable with
respect to the last Lease Year of the
43
preceding Term; (ii) all Additional Charges accruing during the month and (iii)
all other sums, if any, payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease with respect to the applicable Leased Property. During such period of
month-to-month tenancy, Tenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Master Lease, but shall have no
rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to month-to-
month tenancies to continue its occupancy and use of the applicable Leased
Property. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or
implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE XXI
------------
SUBORDINATION
Section 21.1. Subordination. This Lease and all rights of Tenant
-------------
hereunder are subject and subordinate to all Facility Mortgages and all Superior
Leases which may now or hereafter affect Lessor's interest in the applicable
Leased Property and any interest of any Superior Lessor (all such leases and
mortgages, collectively, the "Superior Mortgages"), and to all renewals,
------------------
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the Superior
Mortgages so long as Tenant shall receive a so-called "non-disturbance"
agreement in favor of Tenant from any such Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee
on such Superior Lessor's or Superior Mortgagee's commercially reasonable
standard form. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument
of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination,
Tenant agrees to execute and deliver promptly any commercially reasonable form
of instrument (in recordable form, if requested) that Lessor, any Superior
Lessor or the holder of any Superior Mortgage (a "Superior Mortgagee") may
------------------
request to evidence such subordination. Lessor shall use its reasonable efforts
to obtain from each currently existing Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee a
so-called "non-disturbance" agreement in favor of Tenant on such Superior
Lessor's or Superior Mortgagee's standard form.
Section 21.2. Attornment. If the interests of Lessor under this
----------
Lease are transferred by reason of, or assigned in lieu of, foreclosure or other
proceedings for enforcement of any such Superior Mortgage, or if any Superior
Lease shall be terminated then Tenant shall, at the option of such purchaser,
assignee or any Superior Lessor, as the case may be, (x) attorn to such party
and perform for its benefit all the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease on Tenant's part to be performed with the same force and effect as if such
party were the landlord originally named in this Lease, or (y) enter into a new
lease with such party, as landlord, for the remaining Term and otherwise on the
same terms and conditions of this Lease except that such successor landlord
shall not be (i) liable for any previous act, omission or negligence of Lessor
under this Lease; (ii) subject
44
to any counterclaim, defense or offset which theretofore shall have accrued to
Tenant against Lessor; (iii) bound by any previous modification or amendment of
this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's rent, unless
such modification, amendment or prepayment shall have been approved in writing
by the Superior Lessor or the Superior Mortgagee through or by reason of which
such successor landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Lessor under this
Lease; (iv) liable for any security deposited pursuant to this Lease unless such
security has actually been delivered to such successor landlord. Nothing
contained in this Section shall be construed to impair any right otherwise
exercisable by any such owner, holder or lessee.
Section 21.3. Mortgagee Cure Rights. If any act or omission by
---------------------
Lessor would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of time, to
cancel or terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or
abatement of rent, setoff or counterclaim not otherwise expressly permitted by
the terms of this Lease, Tenant will not exercise any such right until (i) it
has given written notice of such act or omission to each Superior Mortgagee and
each Superior Lessor whose name and address shall have previously been furnished
to Tenant, by delivering notice of such act or omission addressed to each such
party at its last address so furnished, (ii) Lessor shall have failed to cure
the same within the time limits set forth in this Lease, and (iii) following the
giving of such notice, no Superior Mortgagee and no Superior Lessor shall have
remedied such act or omission (x) in the case of an act or omission which is
capable of being remedied without possession of this Leased Property, within the
cure period available to Lessor under this Lease plus sixty (60) days and (y) in
the case of any act or omission which is incapable of being remedied without
possession of the applicable Leased Property, within sixty (60) days following
the date on which possession is obtained (either by such Superior Mortgagee or
Superior Lessor or by a receiver in an action commenced by such Superior
Mortgagee or Superior Lessor), provided a Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor
--------
has promptly commenced action to obtain possession and shall diligently pursue
such action to completion and provided further that such Superior Mortgagee or
-------- -------
Superior Lessor shall, with reasonable diligence, give Tenant notice of its
intention to, and commence and continue to, remedy such act or omission or cause
the same to be remedied.
[ Section 21.4. Modifications. Tenant shall execute any
-------------
modification of this Lease requested by any prospective Superior Mortgagee to
cause the terms of this Master Lease to conform with standard securitized
mortgage financing requirements, provided that such modifications do not
materially adversely increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially
diminish Tenant's rights under this Lease or materially impair the right of a
Leasehold Mortgagee and provided further that such modifications do not increase
the Minimum Rent payable hereunder. In addition, if any Superior Mortgagee or
prospective Superior Mortgagee shall request modifications of this Lease as a
condition to the provision, continuance or renewal of any such financing, Tenant
will
45
not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that
such modifications do not adversely increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder
or diminish Tenant's rights under this Lease or materially impair the rights of
a Leasehold Mortgagee and provided further that such modifications do not
increase the Minimum Rent payable hereunder.]/*/
ARTICLE XXII
-------------
Section 22.1. Notice to Lessor. (a) If Tenant shall mortgage
----------------
Tenant's interest in one or more Leased Properties to a Lending Institution in
accordance with the terms of this Lease, and if the holder of the Leasehold
Mortgage shall provide Lessor with a true copy of the Leasehold Mortgage and the
name and address of the Leasehold Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) and Lessor
shall approve the Leasehold Mortgage, Lessor and Tenant agree that the
provisions of this Section shall apply in respect to each the Leasehold
Mortgage. Lessor hereby approves of the Leasehold Mortgages dated as of the
date hereof in favor of Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as agent;
provided, however, that such approval shall not constitute an agreement by
-------- -------
Lessor to be bound by the terms of such Leasehold Mortgage. In the event of any
assignment of a leasehold or in the event of a change of address of a Leasehold
Mortgagee or of an assignee of the Leasehold Mortgage, notice of the new name
and address shall be provided to Lessor.
Section 22.2. Definitions. (a) The term "Leasehold Mortgage" as used
-----------
in this Section shall include a mortgage, a deed of trust, a deed to secure
debt, or other security instrument by which Tenant's leasehold estate is
mortgaged or otherwise transferred, to secure a debt. "Leasehold Mortgage"
shall be deemed to refer to all of the Leasehold Mortgages delivered to secure a
debt.
(b) The term "Leasehold Mortgagee" as used in this Section shall refer
to a holder of a Leasehold Mortgage approved by Lessor pursuant to the terms
hereof. Lessor hereby approves of Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as
collateral agent, as the initial Leasehold Mortgagee.
Section 22.3. Consent of Leasehold Mortgagee Required. No
---------------------------------------
cancellation or surrender (other than a termination following the occurrence of
an Event of Default) and no amendment to or modification of, this Lease shall be
effective as to the Leasehold Mortgagee without the prior written consent of
such Leasehold Mortgagee, unless an amendment or modification is not reasonably
likely to result in a material
---------------
/*/ To be included in CMBS lease only.
46
adverse effect on the rights of the Leasehold Mortgagee, the lien of the
Leasehold Mortgages, or the value of the leasehold interest demised hereunder.
Section 22.4. Default Notice. Lessor, upon providing Tenant any
--------------
notice of: (a) default under this Lease or (b) a termination of this Lease,
shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to the Leasehold Mortgagee.
From and after the time such notice has been given to a Leasehold Mortgagee, the
Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the same period, after the giving of such notice
upon it, for remedying any default or acts or omissions which are the subject
matter of such notice or causing the same to be remedied, as is given Tenant
after the giving of such notice to Tenant, plus 30 days to remedy, commence
remedying or cause to be remedied the defaults or acts or omissions which are
the subject matter of such notice specified in any such notice, provided that
such defaults are capable of being cured by the Leasehold Mortgagee or on behalf
of the Leasehold Mortgagee. Lessor shall accept such performance by or at the
instigation of the Leasehold Mortgagee as if the same had been done by Tenant.
Tenant authorizes each Leasehold Mortgagee to take any such action at the
Leasehold Mortgagee's option and does hereby authorize entry upon the Leased
Properties by the Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose. If Leasehold Mortgagee
has failed to cure Tenant's default within the above-mentioned time period,
Lessor may exercise its remedies specified in Sections 16.2, 16.3, 16.4 and
17.1.
Section 22.5. Procedure for Foreclosure on Default. (a) If the
------------------------------------
Leasehold Mortgagee has commenced taking steps to acquire or sell Tenant's
interest in this Lease by foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage or other
appropriate means, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall provide Landlord notice of the
same and shall prosecute the same to completion with due diligence.
(b) During such period, this Lease shall not then terminate, and the
time for completion by such Leasehold Mortgagee of its proceedings shall
continue so long as such Leasehold Mortgagee is enjoined or stayed and
thereafter for so long as such Leasehold Mortgagee proceeds to complete steps to
acquire or sell Tenant's interest in this Lease by foreclosure of the Leasehold
Mortgage or by other appropriate means with reasonable diligence and continuity.
Nothing in this Section 22.5, however, shall be construed to extend this Lease
beyond the original term thereof as extended by any options to extend the term
of this Lease properly exercised by Tenant or a Leasehold Mortgagee in
accordance with Section 19.1, nor to require a Leasehold Mortgagee to continue
such foreclosure proceedings after the default has been cured. If the default
shall be cured and the Leasehold Mortgagee shall discontinue such foreclosure
proceedings, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had
not defaulted under this Lease.
47
(c) In addition, during such period, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall
pay or cause to be paid the rent, additional rent and other monetary obligations
of Tenant under this Lease as the same become due, and continue its good faith
efforts to perform, or cause to be performed, all of Tenant's other obligations
under this Lease.
Section 22.6. Assignment or Transfer in Lieu of Foreclosure. (a)
---------------------------------------------
For the purposes of this Section 22.6, the making of a Leasehold Mortgage shall
not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease or of the
leasehold estate hereby created, nor shall any Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, be
deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the leasehold estate
hereby created so as to require the Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, to assume the
performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the
Tenant to be performed hereunder, but the purchaser at any sale of this Lease
and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created in any proceedings for the
foreclosure of any Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee of this
Lease and of the leasehold estate hereby created under any instrument of
assignment or transfer in lieu of the foreclosure of any Leasehold Mortgage,

(b) Prior to any such purchase or assignment pursuant to a foreclosure
or similar proceeding, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall notify Lessor of the
proposed transferee. Subject to any state or other governmental requirements,

provided that (a) the purchaser or assignee (1) shall be a creditworthy entity

the Lease, (2) shall have not less than four years experience in operating
health care facilities for the purpose of the applicable Facility's Primary

of each such purchase and sale agreement or instrument of assignment or transfer
in lieu of foreclosure of any Leasehold Mortgage, duly executed by Tenant and
such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be, in the form and substance
satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor. Lessor's
obligation to consent to a sale or assignment is subject to any reasonable
approval rights of any Facility Mortgagee and/or the lenders under that certain
Credit Agreement, dated April 30, 1998, by and among the Lessor, NationsBank,
N.A., as administrative agent, Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as

Section 22.7. New Lease. Lessor agrees to enter into a new lease
---------
("New Lease") of the Leased Properties with the Leasehold Mortgagee or its
-----------
designee for the remainder of the term of this Lease, effective as of the date
of termination, at the rent and additional rent, and upon the terms, covenants
and conditions (including all options to renew but excluding requirements which
are not applicable or which have already been fulfilled) identical to this
Lease, provided:
(a) The Leasehold Mortgagee shall make written request upon Lessor for
such New Lease within sixty (60) days after the date the Leasehold
Mortgagee receives Lessor's Notice of Termination of this Lease given
pursuant to this Section 22.7.
(b) The Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee shall pay or cause to be
paid to Lessor at the time of the execution and delivery of such New Lease,
any and all sums which would at the time of execution and delivery thereof
be due pursuant to this Lease but for such termination and, in addition
thereto, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees,
which Lessor shall have incurred by reason of such termination and the
execution and delivery of the New Lease and which have not otherwise been
received by Lessor from Tenant or other party in interest under Tenant.
Upon the execution of such New Lease, Lessor shall allow to the Tenant
named therein as an offset against the sums otherwise due under this
Section 22.7(b) or under the New Lease, an amount equal to the net income
derived by Lessor from the Leased Properties during the period from the
date of termination of this Lease to the date of the beginning of the Lease
term of such New Lease. In the event of a controversy as to the amount to
be paid to Lessor pursuant to this Section 22.7(b), the payment obligation
shall be satisfied if Lessor shall be paid the amount not in controversy,
and the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee shall agree to pay any
additional sum ultimately determined to be due plus interest at the Overdue
Rate and such obligation shall be adequately secured.
(c) The Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee shall agree to remedy any
of Tenant's defaults of which said Leasehold Mortgagee was notified by Lessor's
Notice of Termination and which are reasonably susceptible of being so cured by
Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee.
(d) The Tenant under such New Lease shall have the same right, title
and interest in and to the Leased Properties and the buildings and improvements
thereon as Tenant had under this Lease.

obligations imposed on the Tenant by such New Lease only during the period such
person has ownership of such leasehold estate.
Section 22.8. New Lease Properties. If more than one Leasehold
--------------------
Mortgagee shall request a New Lease pursuant to Section 22.7(a), Lessor shall
enter into such New Lease with the Leasehold Mortgagee whose mortgage is prior
in lien, or with the designee of the Leasehold Mortgagee. Lessor, without
liability to Tenant or any Leasehold Mortgagee with an adverse claim, may rely
upon a mortgagee title insurance policy or policies issued by a responsible
title insurance company as the basis for determining the appropriate Leasehold
Mortgagee who is entitled to such New Lease.
Section 22.9. Legal Proceedings. Lessor shall give each Leasehold
-----------------
Mortgagee prompt notice of any legal proceedings between Lessor and Tenant
involving obligations under this Lease. Each Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the
right to intervene in any such proceedings and be made a party to such
proceedings, and the parties hereto do hereby consent to such intervention. In
the event that any Leasehold Mortgagee shall not elect to intervene or become a
party to any such proceedings, Lessor shall give the Leasehold Mortgagee notice
of, and a copy of any decision made in any such proceedings, which shall be
binding on all Leasehold Mortgagees not intervening after receipt of notice of
such proceedings.
Section 22.10. Future Amendments. In the event on any occasions
-----------------
hereafter Tenant seeks to mortgage the leasehold estate created hereby, Lessor
agrees to amend this Lease from time to time to the extent reasonably requested
by a Lending Institution proposing to make Tenant a loan secured by a first lien
upon Tenant's leasehold estate, provided that such proposed amendments do not
adversely affect the rights of Lessor or its interest in the Leased Properties.
All reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with any such amendment
shall be paid by Tenant.

without charge, at any time and from time to time hereafter, within then (10)
days after written request of the other party to do so, certify by written

supplemented or amended, and if so, the substance and manner of such supplement
or amendment; (b) as to the validity and force and effect of this Lease; (c) as
to the existence of any Event of Default hereunder; (d) as to the existence of
any offsets, counterclaims or defenses hereto on the part of the either party;
(e) as to the commencement and expiration dates of the term of this Lease; and
(f) as to any other matters as may be reasonably so requested. Any such
certificate may be relied upon by the other party and any other person, firm or
corporation to whom the same may
50
be exhibited or delivered, and the contents of such certificate shall be binding
on the party so certifying.
Section 22.12. Notices. Notices from Lessor to the Leasehold
-------
Mortgagee shall be mailed to the address furnished Lessor pursuant to Section
22.1 and those from the Leasehold Mortgagee to Lessor shall be mailed to the
address designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 34.1 hereof. Such
notices, demands and requests shall be given in the manner described in Section
34.1 and shall in all respects be governed by the provisions of that section.
Section 22.13. Erroneous Payments. No payment made to Lessor by a
------------------
Leasehold Mortgagee shall constitute agreement that such payment was, in fact,
due under the terms of this Lease; and a Leasehold Mortgagee having made any
payment to Lessor pursuant to Lessor's wrongful, improper or mistaken notice or
demand shall be entitled to the return of any such payment or portion thereof
provided he shall have made demand therefor not later than one year after the
date of its payment.

Section 23.1. Risk of Loss. During the Term of this Lease, the risk
------------
of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of each Leased
Property in consequence of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the
elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or in consequence of
foreclosures, attachments, levies or executions (other than by Lessor and those
claiming from, through or under Lessor) is assumed by Tenant, and, in the
absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease by
Lessor pursuant to Section 38.3, Lessor shall in no event be answerable or
accountable therefor nor shall any of the events mentioned in this Section
entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent.
ARTICLE XXIV
-------------
Section 24.1. Indemnification. Notwithstanding the existence of any
---------------
insurance provided for in Article XIII, and without regard to the policy limits
of any such insurance, Tenant will protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend
Lessor from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages,
penalties, causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses (including, without
limitation, Litigation Costs), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed
upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessor by reason of: (a) any accident,
injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or
about any Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks, including without limitation
any claims of malpractice, (b) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance
or repair by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant, including agents,

Property, (c)
51
any Impositions (which are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to the
applicable provisions of this Lease), (d) any failure on the part of Tenant or
anyone claiming under Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this

Tenant is determined by litigation or otherwise, and if not timely paid, shall
bear interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date
of such determination to the date of payment. Tenant, at its expense, shall
contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or
instituted against Lessor or may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same as
Tenant sees fit. Nothing herein shall be construed as indemnifying Lessor
against its own negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct. If at any
time Lessor shall have notice of a claim, Lessor shall give reasonably prompt
written notice of such claim to Tenant; provided that (i) Lessor shall have no
-------- ----
liability for a failure to give notice of any claim of which Tenant has
otherwise been notified or has knowledge and (ii) the failure of Lessor to give
such a notice to Tenant shall not limit the rights of Lessor or the obligations
of Tenant with respect to such claim except to the extent that Tenant incurs
actual expenses or suffers actual monetary loss as a result of such failure.
Tenant shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of any Claim,
provided that (A) Tenant shall first confirm in writing to the Lessor that such
claim is within the scope of this indemnity and that Tenant shall pay any and
all amounts required to be paid in respect of such claim and (B) if the
compromise or settlement of any such claim shall not result in the complete
release of Lessor from the claim so compromised or settled, the compromise or
settlement shall require the prior written approval of Lessor. Lessor shall have
the right to approve counsel engaged to defend such claim and, at its election
and sole cost and expense, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
participate in the defense of any claim.
Lessor shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Tenant from and
against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of
action, costs and expenses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against
Tenant as a result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Lessor.
Tenant's or Lessor's liability for a breach of the provisions of this
Article arising during the Term hereof shall survive any termination of this
Lease.

Section 25.1. Subletting and Assignment.
-------------------------
Section 25.1.1. Except as expressly provided herein, Tenant shall
not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably
52
withheld or delayed, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or
otherwise transfer any interest in this Lease or sublease all or any part of any
Leased Property or suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate created
hereby or thereby or any other rights arising under this Lease to be assigned,
transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in
part, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the
use or occupancy of any Leased Property to be offered or advertised for
assignment or subletting except as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this
Section 25.1, an assignment of this Lease shall be deemed to include any change
in control of Tenant, as if such change in control or transaction were an
assignment of this Lease. Changes in control of Tenant shall include, without
limitation, (a) a change in the composition of the board of directors of Tenant
or a Guarantor such that at the end of any period of twelve (12) consecutive
months the persons constituting a majority of such board of directors are not
the same as the persons constituting a majority at the start of such period (or
persons appointed by such majority), (b) the sale or other disposition by a
Guarantor of (i) any part of its interest in Tenant or (ii) all or substantially
all of the assets of a Guarantor or Tenant (other than a bona fide pledge in
connection with a financing approved by Lessor), and (c) a merger or
consolidation involving a Guarantor or Tenant, which results in the stockholders
of a Guarantor or Tenant immediately prior to such event owning less than 50% of
the capital stock of the surviving entity or any public parent of the surviving
entity.
Section 25.1.2. Subject to the provisions of Section 25.3 below and
any other express conditions or limitations set forth herein, Tenant may,
without the consent of Lessor, (i) assign this Lease or sublet all or any part
of any Leased Property to any Affiliate of Tenant, or (ii) sublet up to an
aggregate of 20% of the rentable square footage of any Facility (a) in the
normal course of the Primary Intended Use such as but not limited to leasing of
space for major moveable equipment or functional departments such as pathology,
pharmacy and radiology, or (b) to concessionaires or other third party users or
operators of portions of the Leased Property. Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to any other subletting or assignment, provided that (a) in
the case of a subletting, the subtenant shall comply with the provisions of
Section 25.2, (b) in the case of an assignment, the assignee (1) shall be a
creditworthy entity with sufficient financial stability to satisfy its
obligations under the Lease, (2) shall have not less than four years experience
in operating health care facilities for the purpose of the applicable Facility's
Primary Intended Use, (3) has a favorable business and operational reputation
and character and (4) shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all
of the terms of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and
shall be, and become, jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the
performance thereof, (c) an original counterpart of each such sublease and
assignment and assumption, duly executed by Tenant and such subtenant or
assignee, as the case may be, in the form and substance satisfactory to Lessor,

or subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as
53
surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and
observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by Tenant
hereunder. Lessor's obligation to consent to a subletting or assignment is
subject to any reasonable approval rights of any Facility Mortgagee and/or the
lenders under that certain Credit Agreement, dated April 30, 1998, by and among
the Lessor, NationsBank, N.A., as administrative agent, Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust
Company of New York, as documentation agent, XX Xxxxxx Securities Inc. and
NationsBank Xxxxxxxxxx Securities LLC as co-arrangers and the banks parties
thereto, as the same may be amended and/ or replaced from time to time..
Section 25.1.3. If this Lease is assigned or if any Leased Property
or any part thereof is sublet (or occupied by any entity other than Tenant and
its employees), Lessor, after an Event of Default occurs and so long as it is
continuing, may collect the rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as
the case may be, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved,
but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in
Section 25.1.1, the acceptance by Lessor of such assignee, subtenant or
occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant or release of Tenant from the future
performance of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Lease.
Section 25.1.4. No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair
the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder, and no consent to any
subletting or assignment in an particular instance shall be deemed a waiver of
the prohibition set forth in this Section 25.1. No assignment, subletting or
occupancy shall affect the Primary Intended Use. Any subletting, assignment or
other transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease in contravention of this
Section 25.1 shall be void at Lessor's option.
Section 25.1.5. If Tenant shall desire to assign this Lease or sublet
all (but not a portion) of any Leased Property other than an assignment or

("Tenant's Notice") indicating (a) the name of the proposed assignee or
-----------------
subtenant, (b) the material terms of the proposed assignment or sublease, (c)
the nature and character of the business which the proposed assignee or
subtenant will conduct at the applicable Leased Property, (d) reasonable
financial data concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant, and (e) the
effective date of the proposed assignment or the commencement date and
expiration date of the proposed sublease. Tenant shall additionally submit to
Lessor any other information concerning the proposed sublease which Lessor may
reasonably request. If such notice is given, Lessor may, at its option
terminate this Lease in the case of an assignment or terminate this Lease as to
the applicable Leased Property in the case of a sublease. Lessor shall exercise
its option by notice to Tenant within 30 days after Tenant's Notice (or receipt
by Lessor of all information reasonably requested by Lessor pursuant to this
Section 21.1.5),
54
and during such 30-day period, Tenant shall not have the right to assign this
Lease or sublet such space.
Section 25.1.6. If Lessor exercises its option under Section 21.1.5
to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall terminate (either as to each Leased
Property or as to the applicable Leased Property, whichever is applicable) on
the date which is 60 days following Tenant's Notice or on such later date as may
be specified in Tenant's Notice, and all Rent shall be paid and apportioned to
the date of such termination. If Lessor shall exercise its options under
Section 21.1.5, Lessor may, and shall have no liability to Tenant if Lessor
shall, lease to Tenant's prospective subtenant or assignee.
Section 25.1.7. If Lessor shall give its consent to any assignment or
subletting, Tenant shall, in consideration therefor, pay to Lessor, as
Additional Charges as and when payable to Tenant, 20% of any consideration
received on account of the assignment and (ii) 20% of the excess of (x) any
rents, additional charges, or other consideration payable under the sublease by
the subtenant to Tenant, after deducting therefrom brokerage commissions, legal
fees incurred in connection with such subletting over (y) Rent accruing during
----
the term of the sublease pursuant to the terms hereof (such excess, the
"Sublease Profits").

Lease, (b) the use of the applicable Leased Property shall be restricted to the
applicable Primary Intended Use and shall not conflict with any Legal
Requirement, Insurance Requirement or any other provision of this Lease, (c) no
sublessee or assignee shall be permitted to further sublet all or any part of
the applicable Leased Property or assign this Lease or its sublease except as
expressly provided in this Lease and (d) in the event of cancellation or
termination of this Lease for any reason whatsoever or of the surrender of this
Lease whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, prior to the
expiration date of such sublease, including extensions and renewals granted
thereunder, at Lessor's option, the subtenant shall make full and complete
attornment to Lessor for the balance of the term of the sublease, which
attornment shall be evidenced by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to Lessor and which the subtenant shall execute and deliver within 5 days after
request by Lessor, its successors or assigns and the subtenant shall waive the
provisions of any law now or hereafter in effect which may give the subtenant
any right of election to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession in
the event any proceeding is brought by Lessor to terminate this Lease.
Section 25.1.9. Any assignment of this Lease or sublease of the
applicable Leased Property in contravention of the express terms of this Article
XXI shall be voidable at Lessor's option and the acceptance of rent by Lessor
from any such
55
unauthorized assignee or subtenant shall not constitute a recognition or
acceptance of the tenancy of such unauthorized assignee or subtenant.
Section 25.1.10. Tenant shall pay to Lessor, within ten (10) business
days after request therefor, all costs and expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Lessor in connection with
any request by Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet the applicable Leased
Property.
Section 25.2. Attornment. Tenant shall insert in each sublease
----------
permitted under Section 25.1 provisions to the effect that (a) such sublease is
subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to
the rights of Lessor hereunder, (b) in the event this Lease shall terminate
before the expiration of such sublease, the subtenant thereunder will, at
Lessor's option, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the subtenant may have to
terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a result of the
termination of this Lease, and (c) in the event the subtenant receives a written
notice from Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if any, stating that Tenant is in
Default under this Lease, the subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay all
rentals accruing under said sublease directly to the party giving such notice,
or as such party may direct. All rentals received from the subtenant by Lessor
or Lessor's assignees, if any, as the case may be, shall be credited against the
amounts owing by Tenant under this Lease.
Section 25.3. Sublease Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease
-------------------
to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property on
any basis such that the rental to be paid by the subtenant thereunder would be
based, in whole or in part, on either (i) the income or profits derived by the
business activities of the subtenant, or (ii) any other formula such that any
portion of the sublease 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.

thereto), shall, within 45 days after the date of the notice appointing the
first appraiser, proceed to appraise the applicable Leased Property to determine
the Fair Market Value, Fair Market Value Purchase Price, Fair Market Rental,
thereof as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of
inflation from the date of their decision to the relevant date); provided,
--------
however, that if one appraiser shall have been so appointed, or if two
-------
appraisers shall have been so appointed but only one such appraiser shall have
made such determination within 50 days after the making of Tenant's or Lessor's
request, then the determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding
upon the parties. To the extent consistent with sound appraisal practice as then
existing at the time of any such appraisal, such appraisal shall be made on a
basis consistent with the basis on which the applicable Leased Property was
appraised for
60
purposes of determining its Fair Market Value at the time such Leased Property
was acquired by Lessor, which basis is described on Exhibit F annexed hereto.
---------
If two appraisers shall have been appointed and shall have made their
determinations within the respective requisite periods set forth above and if
the difference between the amounts so determined shall not exceed ten percent
(10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then the Fair Market Value, Fair Market
Value Purchase Price or Fair Market Rental shall be an amount equal to 50% of
the sum of the amounts so determined. If the difference between the amounts so
determined shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then
such two appraisers shall have 20 days to appoint a third appraiser, but if such
appraisers fail to do so, then either party may request the American Arbitration
Association or any successor organization thereto to appoint an appraiser within
20 days of such request, and both parties shall be bound by any appointment so
made within such 20 day period. If no such appraiser shall have been appointed
within such 20 days or within 90 days of the original request for a
determination of Fair Market Value, Fair Market Value Purchase Price or Fair
Market Rental, whichever is earlier, either Lessor or Tenant may apply to any
court having jurisdiction to have such appointment made by such court. Any
appraiser appointed by the original appraisers, by the American Arbitration
Association or by such court shall be instructed to determine the Fair Market
Value, Fair Market Value Purchase Price or Fair Market Rental within 30 days
after appointment of such Appraiser. The determination of the appraiser which
differs most in terms of dollar amount from the determination of the other two
appraisers shall be excluded, and 50% of the sum of the remaining two
determinations shall be final and binding upon Lessor and Tenant as the Fair
Market Value, Fair Market Value Purchase Price or Fair Market Rental for such
interest. 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 Tenant shall each pay the fees
and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and each shall pay one-half of the
fees and expenses of the third appraiser and one-half of all other cost and
expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.

Section 36.1. General REIT Provisions.
-----------------------
Section 36.1.1. Tenant understands that, in order for Lessor to
qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), the following requirements
----
(the "REIT Requirements") must be satisfied:
(i) The average of the adjusted tax bases of Lessor's personal
property that is leased to Tenant under a lease at the beginning and end
of a calendar year cannot exceed 15% of the average of the aggregate
adjusted tax
61
bases of all of Lessor's property that is leased to Tenant under such lease
at the beginning and end of such calendar year.
(ii) Tenant cannot sublet the property that is leased to it by
Lessor, or enter into any similar arrangement, on any basis such that the
rental or other amounts paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in
whole or in part, on either (i) the net income or profits derived by the
business activities of the sublessee or (ii) any other formula such that
any portion of the rent paid by Tenant to Lessor would fail to qualify as
"rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the
Code.
(iii) Tenant cannot sublease the property leased to it by Lessor
to, or enter into any similar arrangement with, any person in which Lessor
owns, directly or indirectly, a 10% or more interest, within the meaning of
Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code.
(iv) Lessor cannot own, directly or indirectly, a 10% or more
interest in Tenant, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code.
Section 36.1.2. Tenant agrees, and agrees to use reasonable efforts
to cause its Affiliates, to use their best efforts to permit the REIT
Requirements to be satisfied. Tenant agrees and agrees to use reasonable
efforts to cause its Affiliates, to cooperate in good faith with Lessor or to
ensure that the REIT Requirements are satisfied, including but not limited to,
providing Lessor with information about the ownership of Tenant, and its
Affiliates to the extent that such information is reasonably available. Tenant
agrees, and agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, upon
request by to take reasonable action necessary to ensure compliance with the
REIT Requirements. Immediately after becoming aware that the REIT Requirements
are not, or will not be, satisfied, Tenant shall notify, or use reasonable
efforts to cause its Affiliates to notify Lessor of such noncompliance.
ARTICLE XXXVII

Section 37.1. First Refusal to Purchase. During the first three
-------------------------
years of the Initial Term, Tenant shall have a first refusal option to purchase
any and each Leased Property upon the same terms and conditions as Lessor shall
propose to sell the applicable Leased Property, or upon the same terms and
conditions of any offer from a third party to purchase the applicable Leased
Property which Lessor intends to accept (or has accepted subject to Tenant's
right of first refusal herein). If, during the first three years of the Initial
Term, Lessor reaches such agreement with a third party or proposes to offer any
Leased Property for sale, Lessor shall promptly notify Tenant of the purchase
price and all other material terms and conditions of such agreement or proposed
sale and
62
Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Lessor
within which time to exercise Tenant's option to purchase. If Tenant exercises
its option, then such transaction shall be consummated within sixty (60) days
after the date of receipt by Lessor of notice of such exercise in accordance
with the terms and conditions of such agreement, as to price and the other
conditions set forth therein and in accordance with the provisions of Article
XVIII hereof to the extent not inconsistent therewith, on the first day of the
first month after all permits for owning or operating the Facility on the Leased
Property have been obtained by Tenant, but in no event later than 120 days after
the date of receipt by Lessor of notice of the exercise by Tenant of this
option. If Tenant shall not exercise Tenant's option to purchase within said
thirty (30) day period after receipt of said notice from Lessor, Lessor shall be
free for a period of one year after the expiration of said 30 day period to sell
the applicable Leased Property to any third party at a price and upon terms no
less favorable to Lessor than those so offered to Tenant. Whether or not such
sale is consummated, Tenant shall be entitled to exercise its right of first
refusal as provided in this section, as to any subsequent sale of the applicable
Leased Property during the first three (3) years of the Term of this Lease. The
provisions of this Section 37.1 shall not apply to any transaction involving (i)
the sale of stock of Lessor, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of
Lessor's assets, (iii) any transfer of the applicable Leased Property to a
Facility Mortgagee in connection with the financing of such Leased Property, or
(iv) the transfer of any Leased Property to an Affiliate of Lessor.
Section 37.2. Lessor's Option to Purchase the Tenant's Personal
-------------------------------------------------
Property. Effective on not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice
--------
given at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration
of the Term, but not later than ninety (90) days prior to such expiration, or
such shorter notice as shall be appropriate if this Lease is terminated prior to
the expiration of the Term, Lessor shall have the option to purchase all (but
not less than all) of Tenant's Personal Property located at any Leased Property,
if any, at the expiration or termination of the Term, for an amount equal to (i)
the book value thereof if such termination is due to an Event of Default or (ii)
the then net value thereof (current replacement cost less accumulated
depreciation on the books of Tenant pertaining thereto) if such termination is
not caused by an Event of Default, subject to, and with appropriate price
adjustments for, all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, UCC-1
financing statements (including their financial statements filed in connection
with the Leasehold Mortgage) and other encumbrances to which such Personal
Property is subject.

Section 38.1. Lessor May Grant Liens. Without the consent of Tenant,
----------------------
Lessor may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section
38.1, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to
exist any lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement ("Encumbrance") upon
-----------
any Leased Property or
63
any portion thereof or interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or
other means of financing or refinancing. Any such Encumbrance may provide that
Tenant's right of first refusal to purchase the Leased Property shall not be
applicable upon a foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu thereof; provided,
--------
however, that any such purchaser or transferee shall take title subject to
-------
Tenant's rights to acquire the applicable Leased Property. Any lender, which
takes an interest in the applicable Leased Property pursuant to this Article
XXXVIII, (a) shall agree to give Tenant the same notice, if any, given to Lessor
of any default or acceleration of any obligation underlying any such mortgage or
any sale in foreclosure under such mortgage, (b) shall agree to permit Tenant to
cure any such default on Lessor's behalf within any applicable cure period, and
Tenant shall be reimbursed by Lessor for any and all out-of-pocket costs
incurred to effect any such cure (including reasonable attorneys' fees), (c)
shall agree to permit Tenant to appear by its representative and to bid at any
sale in foreclosure made with respect to any such mortgage and (d) shall agree
not to disturb Tenant's possession so long as Tenant is not in default in
performing its obligations hereunder.

Leased Property, and Lessor's and such successors' directors, officers,
partners, members, employees and agents from and against any losses, claims,
damages (including consequential damages), penalties, fines, liabilities
(including strict liability), costs (including cleanup and recovery costs), and

and Liability Act of 1980, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, all as amended from time to time, and
all state laws and federal and state regulations pursuant to the foregoing
(collectively "Environmental Laws"). Tenant's indemnity shall survive the
termination of this Lease. Provided, however, Tenant shall have no indemnity
obligation with respect to (i) Hazardous Materials first introduced to the
Leased Property subsequent to the date that Tenant's occupancy of the applicable
Leased Property shall have fully terminated or (ii) Hazardous Material first
introduced to the Leased Property prior to the date hereof, except to the extent
arising from any deterioration after the date hereof in any condition existing
prior to the date hereof. "Hazardous Materials" means any substance the presence
of which poses a hazard to the health or safety of persons on or about the
Leased Property or which requires removal or remediation under any Environmental
Law, including without limitation, any substance which is toxic, explosive,
flammable, radioactive, or otherwise hazardous or is included within the meaning
of "hazardous substance", "hazardous waste", "toxic substance", or
64
"pollutant" as defined in any Environmental Law. At any time during the Term of
this Lease, Lessor may require one or more environmental audits of the Leased
Premises, in such form, scope and substance as specified by Lessor, at Tenant's
expense. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from
Lessor, reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses incurred in reviewing any
environmental audit, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs.

MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
Section 40.1. _________. Anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, the Tenant or
Lessor arising prior to any date of termination of this Lease shall survive such
termination. If any term or provision of this Lease or any application hereof
shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other
application of such term or provision shall not be affected thereby. If any
late charges provided for in any provision of this Lease are based upon a rate
in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the parties agree
that such charges shall be fixed at the maximum permissible rate. Neither this
Lease nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
except by an instrument in writing and in recordable form signed by Lessor and
Tenant. All the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. The headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and
shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
Section 40.2. ___________. Tenant specifically agrees to look solely
to Lessor's assets for recovery of any judgment from Lessor, it being
specifically agreed that no constituent partner in Lessor, shall ever be
personally liable for any such judgment or for the payment of any monetary
obligation to Tenant. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not
intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to
obtain injunctive relief against Lessor or Lessor's successors in interest, or
any action not involving the personal liability of Lessor (original or
successor).
Furthermore, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in no
event shall Lessor (original or successor) ever be liable to Tenant for any
indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause.
Section 40.3. __________. Upon the expiration or earlier termination
of the Term, Tenant shall transfer, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
to Lessor or Lessor's nominee and cooperate with Lessor or Lessor's nominee in
connection with the
65
processing by Lessor or Lessor's nominee of any applications for all licenses,
operating permits, certificates of need, certificates of exemption and other
governmental authorizations, including licenses, permits, certificates of need
and certificates of exemption with quasi-governmental entities any of which may
be necessary for the operation of the Leased Property and the Facility located
thereon for its Primary Intended Use; provided that the costs and expenses of
--------
any such transfer or the processing of any such application shall be paid by
Lessor or Lessor's nominee unless such termination results from an Event of
Default, in which event the costs and expenses of any such transfer or the
processing of any such application shall be paid by Tenant. It is the express
intention of the parties that at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term, any and all certificates of need, certificates of exemption and similar
governmental authorizations (collectively, a "CON") needed to operate the
applicable Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use shall remain with the
Leased Property and shall be transferred into the name of Lessor or Lessor's
nominee, regardless of whether such CON is in the name of Tenant at any time
during the Term. Moreover, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall cooperate with Lessor in the orderly transfer of operations
at the applicable Facility.
Section 40.4. __________. Lessor and Lessor's agent shall have the
right to enter the applicable Leased Property at all reasonable times for the
purpose of entering exhibiting the Leased Property to others (i) if Tenant has
not exercised its right with respect to any applicable Extended Term within the
time period set forth in this Lease, or (ii) during the last eighteen (18)
months of the final Extended Term.
Section 40.5. _________. This Lease contains the entire agreement
between Lessor and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. No
representations, warranties or agreements have been made by Lessor except as set
forth in this Lease.
Section 40.6. ____________. If any term or provision of this Lease
is held or deemed by Lessor to be invalid or unenforceable, such term or
provision shall be modified as slightly as possible so as to render it valid and
enforceable; if such term or provision, as modified, shall be held or deemed
invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the remainder of this
Lease and same shall remain in full force and effect, unless such holding
substantially deprives Tenant of the use of the Leased Property or Lessor of the
rents herein reserved, in which event this Lease shall forthwith terminate as if
by expiration of the Term.
Section 40.7. ____________. (a) All rights, powers and remedies
provided herein may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof,
including those which do not require the giving of notice, does not violate any
applicable law, and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they will not render this Lease invalid or unenforceable under any applicable
law. All waivers, consents, confessions
66
and releases provided for in this Lease are effective only to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
(b) This Lease was negotiated in the State of New York, which State
the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the
underlying transaction embodied hereby. In all respects, the law of the State
of New York shall govern the validity of and enforceability of the obligations
of the parties set forth herein, but all provisions hereof relating to the
creation of the leasehold estate and remedies set forth in Article XVI shall be
governed by the laws of the State in which each applicable Leased Property that
is the subject of dispute is located and the parties hereto will submit to
jurisdiction and the laying of venue for any suit on this Lease in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Section 40.8. ____________. No waiver of any condition or covenant
herein contained, or of any breach of any such condition or covenant, shall be
held or taken to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of such covenant or
condition, or to permit or excuse its continuance or any future breach thereof
or of any condition or covenant herein construed as a waiver of such default, or
of Lessor's right to terminate this Lease or exercise any other remedy granted
herein on account of such existing default.
Section 40.9. ____________. This Lease shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, personal representatives,
and permitted assigns of Lessor and Tenant.
Section 40.10. ___________. This Lease may be only be modified by a
writing signed by both Lessor and Lessee.
Section 40.11. ____________. No delay or omission by either party
hereto to exercise any right or power accruing upon any noncompliance or default
by the other party with respect to any of the terms hereof shall impair any such
right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof.
Section 40.12. _____________. In the event of an assignment of this
Lease or any sublease to an Affiliate of Vencor, Inc. pursuant to the terms of
this Lease, the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Charges and the
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease are guaranteed by
Guarantor, pursuant to a Lease Guaranty.

right, at any time and from time to time during the Term, to require Tenant to
execute an amendment to this Lease whereby this Lease is terminated as to one or
more Leased Properties and to simultaneously execute a substitute lease in the
same form as this Lease with respect to such Leased Properties.
Section 40.16. Lessor Consents. For all purposes of this Lease, the
---------------
term "Lessor" shall be deemed to mean the record owner of a Leased Property;
