1.1 Leased

Exceptions and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

2.1 Base
Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord base rent (“Base Rent”) in
advance in consecutive monthly installments payable on the first day of each
month during the Term commencing on the Amended Commencement Date. If

Landlord, Tenant shall for each month [i] continue to make installments of
Base Rent according to the Rent Schedule in effect on the day before the

specified in the revised Rent Schedule.

“absolute net lease”, and Tenant shall pay all Rent and other charges and
expenses in connection with the Leased Property throughout the Term, without
abatement, deduction, recoupment or set-off. Landlord 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 nonpayment of the
Rent.
2.6 No Termination, Abatement,
Etc. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant
shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms. Tenant
shall not, without the consent of Landlord, modify, surrender or terminate the
Lease, nor seek nor be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or
reduction of Rent, or set-off or recoupment against the Rent. Except
as expressly provided in this Lease, the obligations of Landlord and Tenant
shall not be affected by reason of [i] any damage to, or destruction of,
the Leased Property or any part thereof from whatever cause or any Taking (as
hereinafter defined) of the Leased Property or any part thereof; [ii] the
lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the
Leased Property, or any part thereof, the interference with such use by any
person, corporation, partnership or other entity, or by reason of eviction by
paramount title; [iii] any claim which Tenant has or might have against
Landlord or by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord under
this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to which
Landlord and Tenant are parties; [iv] any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up
or
15
other
proceeding affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or
[v] any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing,

law. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant
hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any occurrence whatsoever,
which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law [a] to modify,
surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or
any portion thereof; or [b] entitling Tenant to any abatement, reduction,
suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant
hereunder. The obligations of Landlord 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 pursuant to the
express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease other than by
reason of an Event of Default. Nothing in this §2.6 shall be
construed to limit any right which Tenant may have to bring a separate action
against Landlord for any claim which Tenant may have or allege to have against
Landlord.
2.7 Transaction
Fee. Tenant has paid transaction fees as required by Landlord
prior to the Amended Effective Date. There is no transaction fee

3.1 Payment of
Impositions. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all
Impositions that may be levied or become a lien on the Leased Property or any
part thereof at any time (whether prior to or during the Term), without regard
to prior ownership of said Leased Property, before any fine, penalty, interest,
or cost is incurred; provided, however, Tenant may contest any Imposition in
accordance with §3.7. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord [i] not
more than five days after the due date of each Imposition, copies of the invoice
for such Imposition and the check delivered for payment thereof; and
[ii] not more than 30 days after the due date of each Imposition, a
copy of the official receipt evidencing such payment or other proof of payment
satisfactory to Landlord. 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. Tenant, at its expense,
shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition
as may be required by governmental authorities. Tenant shall be
entitled to any refund due from any taxing authority if no Event of Default
shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing and if Tenant shall have paid
all Impositions due and payable as of the date of the
refund. Landlord shall be entitled to any refund from any taxing
authority if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any
refunds retained by Landlord due to an Event of Default shall be applied as
provided in §8.8. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the
other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is
made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any
required returns and reports. In the event governmental authorities
classify any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant shall
file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may
legally so file. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and
Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon
request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any
property so classified as personal property. Where Landlord is
legally required to file personal property tax returns, Tenant will be provided
with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported
value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a
16
protest. Tenant
may, at Tenant’s option and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, protest, appeal
or institute such other proceedings as Tenant may deem appropriate to effect a
reduction of real estate or personal property assessments and Landlord, at
Tenant’s expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Tenant in such
protest, appeal, or other action. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
all personal property taxes paid by Landlord within 30 days after receipt
of xxxxxxxx accompanied by copies of a xxxx therefore and payments thereof which
identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are
made. Impositions imposed in respect to the tax-fiscal period during
which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and
Tenant as of the termination date, whether or not such Imposition is imposed
before or after such termination, and Tenant’s obligation to pay its prorated
share thereof shall survive such termination.
3.2 Definition of
Impositions. “Impositions” means, collectively, [i] taxes
(including, without limitation, all capital stock and franchise taxes of
Landlord imposed by the Facility State or any governmental entity in the
Facility State due to this lease transaction or Landlord’s ownership of the
Leased Property and the income arising therefrom, or due to Landlord being
considered as doing business in the Facility State because of Landlord’s
ownership of the Leased Property or lease thereof to Tenant), all real estate
and personal property ad valorem, sales and use, business or occupation, single
business, gross receipts, transaction privilege, rent or similar taxes;
[ii] assessments (including, without limitation, all assessments for public
improvements or benefits, whether or not commenced or completed prior to the
date hereof and whether or not to be completed with the Term); [iii] ground
rents, water, sewer or other rents and charges, excises, tax levies, and fees
(including, without limitation, license, permit, inspection, authorization and
similar fees); [iv] all taxes imposed on Tenant’s operations of the Leased
Property, including, without limitation, employee withholding taxes, income
taxes and intangible taxes; [v] all taxes imposed by the Facility State or
any governmental entity in the Facility State with respect to the conveyance of
the Leased Property by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant’s designee, including,
without limitation, conveyance taxes; and [vi] all other governmental
charges, in each case whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, or
foreseen or unforeseen, of every character in respect of the Leased Property or
any part thereof and/or the Rent (including all interest and penalties thereon
due to any failure in payment by Tenant), which at any time prior to, during or
in respect of the Term hereof may be assessed or imposed on or in respect of or
be a lien upon [a] Landlord or Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property
or any part thereof; [b] the Leased Property or any part thereof or any
rent therefrom or any estate, right, title or interest therein; or [c] any
occupancy, operation, use or possession of, or sales from, or activity conducted
on, or in connection with the Leased Property or the leasing or use by Tenant of
the Leased Property or any part thereof. Tenant shall not, however,
be required to pay any capital gains tax or any tax based on net income imposed
on Landlord by any governmental entity other than the capital stock and
franchise taxes described in clause [i] above.
3.3 Escrow of
Impositions. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the first
day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the Impositions assessed against the
Leased Property for the preceding tax year for real estate taxes, which sums
shall be used by Landlord toward payment of such Impositions. In
addition, if an Event of Default occurs and while it remains uncured, Tenant
shall, at Landlord’s election, deposit with Landlord on the first day of each
month a sum equal to 1/12th of the Impositions assessed against the Leased
Property for the
17
preceding
tax year other than real estate taxes, which sums shall be used by Landlord
toward payment of such Impositions. Tenant, on demand, shall pay to
Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the obligations of
Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this section. The receipt by
Landlord of the payment of such Impositions by and from Tenant shall only be as
an accommodation to Tenant, the mortgagees, and the taxing authorities, and
shall not be construed as rent or income to Landlord, Landlord serving, if at
all, only as a conduit for delivery purposes.
3.4 Utilities. Tenant
shall pay, as Additional Rent, all taxes, assessments, charges, deposits, and
bills for utilities, including, without limitation, charges for water, gas, oil,
sanitary and storm sewer, electricity, telephone service, and trash collection,
which may be charged against the occupant of the Improvements during the
Term. If an Event of Default occurs and while it remains uncured,
Tenant shall, at Landlord’s election, deposit with Landlord on the first day of
each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the amount of the annual utility expenses
for the preceding Lease Year, which sums shall be used by Landlord to pay such
utilities. Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord any additional
amount needed to pay such utilities. Landlord’s receipt of such
payments shall only be an accommodation to Tenant and the utility companies and
shall not constitute rent or income to Landlord. Absent circumstances
beyond Tenant’s reasonable control, Tenant shall at all times maintain that
amount of heat necessary to ensure against the freezing of water
lines. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from and against any liability or damages to the utility systems and the Leased
Property that may result from Tenant’s failure to maintain sufficient heat in
the Improvements absent circumstances beyond Tenant’s reasonable
control.
3.5 Discontinuance of
Utilities. Landlord will not be liable for damages to person
or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business for any
discontinuance of utilities nor will such discontinuance in any way be construed
as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release
Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
3.6 Business
Expenses. Tenant shall promptly pay all expenses and costs
incurred in connection with the operation of the Facility on the Leased
Property, including, without limitation, employee benefits, employee vacation
and sick pay, consulting fees, and expenses for inventory and
supplies.
3.7 Permitted
Contests. Tenant, on its own or on Landlord’s behalf (or in
Landlord’s name), but at Tenant’s expense, may contest, by appropriate legal
proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or
validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or any Legal
Requirement or insurance requirement or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim provided that [i] in the case of an unpaid Imposition,
lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the commencement and
continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from
Landlord and from the Leased Property; [ii] neither the Leased Property nor
any Rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest therein would be in any
immediate danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost; [iii] in the
case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any immediate danger of
civil or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith pending the outcome
of such proceedings; [iv] in the event that any such contest shall involve
a sum of money or potential loss in excess of $50,000.00, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord and its counsel an opinion of Tenant’s counsel to
18
the
effect set forth in clauses [i], [ii] and [iii], to the extent applicable;
[v] in the case of a Legal Requirement and/or an Imposition, lien,
encumbrance or charge, Tenant shall give such reasonable security as may be
demanded by Landlord to insure ultimate payment of the same and to prevent any
sale or forfeiture of the affected Leased Property or the Rent by reason of such
nonpayment or noncompliance; provided, however, the provisions of this section
shall not be construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent (except
as to contests concerning the method of computation or the basis of levy of any
Imposition or the basis for the assertion of any other claim) or any other sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder; [vi] in the case of an insurance
requirement, the coverage required by Article 4 shall be maintained; and
[vii] if such contest be finally resolved against Landlord or Tenant,
Tenant shall, as Additional Rent due hereunder, promptly pay the amount required
to be paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon, or comply
with the applicable Legal Requirement or insurance
requirement. Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall execute and deliver
to Tenant such authorizations and other documents as may be reasonably required
in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so
desires, Landlord shall join as a party therein. Tenant hereby agrees
to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or
expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any
such contest and any loss resulting therefrom.

indicating that the Leased Property is insured for its full replacement
value. If Tenant makes any Permitted Alterations (as hereinafter
defined) to the Leased Property, Landlord may have such full replacement value
redetermined at any time after such Permitted Alterations are made, regardless
of when the full replacement value was last determined.
4.6 Blanket
Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article 4, Tenant may carry the insurance required by this Article
under a blanket policy of insurance, provided that the coverage afforded Tenant
will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which
would exist under a separate policy meeting all of the requirements of this
Lease.
21
4.7 No Separate
Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate insurance
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in
this Article, or increase the amounts of any then existing insurance, by
securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having
an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including Landlord
and any mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds or loss payees,
the loss is payable under said insurance in the same manner as losses are
payable under this Lease, and such additional insurance is not prohibited by the
existing policies of insurance. Tenant shall immediately notify
Landlord of the taking out of such separate insurance or the increasing of any
of the amounts of the existing insurance by securing an additional policy or
additional policies.
4.8 Waiver of
Subrogation. Each party hereto hereby waives any and every
claim which arises or may arise in its favor and against the other party hereto
during the Term for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property
located within or upon, or constituting a part of, the Leased Property, which
loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance policies, to the
extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such
policies. Said mutual waiver shall be in addition to, and not in
limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Lease
with respect to any loss or damage to property of the parties
hereto. Inasmuch as the said waivers will preclude the assignment of
any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company
(or any other person), each party hereto agrees immediately to give each
insurance company which has issued to it policies of insurance, written notice
of the terms of said mutual waivers, and to have such insurance policies
properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance
coverage by reason of said waivers, so long as such endorsement is available at
a reasonable cost.

of insurance premiums in accordance with Landlord’s requirements after receipt
of notice thereof from Landlord.
ARTICLE

Indemnification. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
harmless Landlord, any successors or assigns of Landlord, and Landlord’s and
such successor’s and assign’s directors, officers, employees and agents from and
against any and all demands, claims, causes of action, fines, penalties, damages
(including consequential damages), losses, liabilities (including strict
liability), judgments, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, court costs, and the costs set forth in §8.7) incurred in
connection with or arising from: [i] the use or occupancy of the
Leased Property by Tenant or any persons claiming under Tenant; [ii] any
activity, work, or thing done, or permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about
the Leased Property; [iii] any acts, omissions, or negligence of Tenant or
any person
22
claiming
under Tenant, or the contractors, agents, employees, invitees, or visitors of
Tenant or any such person; [iv] any breach, violation, or nonperformance by
Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant or the employees, agents,
contractors, invitees, or visitors of Tenant or of any such person, of any term,
covenant, or provision of this Lease or any law, ordinance, or governmental
requirement of any kind, including, without limitation, any failure to comply
with any applicable requirements under the ADA; [v] any injury or damage to
the person, property or business of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors,
invitees, visitors, or any other person entering upon the Leased Property;
[vi] any construction, alterations, changes or demolition of the Facility
performed by or contracted for by Tenant or its employees, agents or
contractors; and [vii] any obligations, costs or expenses arising under any
Permitted Exceptions. If any action or proceeding is brought against
Landlord, its employees, or agents by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon
notice from Landlord, will defend the claim at Tenant’s expense with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. All amounts payable to Landlord
under this section shall be payable on written demand and any such amounts which
are not paid within 10 days after demand therefor by Landlord shall bear
interest at Landlord’s rate of return as provided in the
Commitment. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against
Tenant by reason of any such occurrence, Tenant shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to defend such action, suit or proceeding. Nothing
in this §5.1 shall be construed as requiring Tenant to indemnify Landlord with
respect to Landlord’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5.1.1 Notice of
Claim. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any claim or
action brought against Landlord in which indemnity may be sought against Tenant
pursuant to this section. Such notice shall be given in sufficient
time to allow Tenant to defend or participate in such claim or action, but the
failure to give such notice in sufficient time shall not constitute a defense
hereunder nor in any way impair the obligations of Tenant under this section
unless the failure to give such notice precludes Tenant’s defense of any such
action.
5.1.2 Survival of
Covenants. The covenants of Tenant contained in this section
shall remain in full force and effect after the termination of this Lease until
the expiration of the period stated in the applicable statute of limitations
during which a claim or cause of action may be brought and payment in full or
the satisfaction of such claim or cause of action and of all expenses and
charges incurred by Landlord relating to the enforcement of the provisions
herein specified.
5.1.3 Reimbursement of
Expenses. Unless prohibited by law, Tenant hereby agrees to
pay to Landlord all of the reasonable fees, charges and reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses related to the Facility and required hereby, or incurred by Landlord in
enforcing the provisions of this Lease.
5.2 Environmental Indemnity;
Audits. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless
Landlord, any successors to Landlord’s interest in this Lease, and Landlord’s
and such successors’ directors, officers, 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 expenses (including expenses of litigation and reasonable
consultants’ and attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord or any other indemnitee
or assessed against any portion of the Leased Property by virtue of any claim or
lien by any governmental or quasi-governmental unit, body, or agency, or any
third party, for cleanup
23
costs or
other costs pursuant to any Environmental Law. Tenant’s indemnity
shall survive the termination of this Lease. Provided, however,
Tenant shall have no indemnity obligation with respect to [i] Hazardous
Materials first introduced to the Leased Property subsequent to the date that
Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Property shall have fully terminated; or
[ii] Hazardous Materials introduced to the Leased Property by Landlord, its
agent, employees, successors or assigns. If at any time during the
Term of this Lease any governmental authority notifies Landlord or Tenant of a
violation of any Environmental Law or Landlord reasonably believes that a
Facility may violate any Environmental Law, Landlord may require one or more
environmental audits of such portion of the Leased Property, in such form, scope
and substance as specified by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense. Tenant
shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse
Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in reviewing any environmental
audit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs.
5.3 Limitation of Landlord’s
Liability. Landlord, its agents, and employees, will not be
liable for any loss, injury, death, or damage (including consequential damages)
to persons, property, or Tenant’s business occasioned by theft, act of God,
public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order,
requisition, order of governmental body or authority, fire, explosion, falling

acknowledges cure of the default in writing, at Landlord’s option, without
declaration, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of
default, notice to quit or any other notice or demand of any kind, Landlord may
exercise any and all rights and remedies provided in this Lease or any Lease
Document or otherwise provided under law or in equity, including, without
limitation, any one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Landlord
may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property or any portion thereof
without terminating this Lease, and lease such Leased Property for the account
of Tenant, holding Tenant liable for all costs of Landlord in reletting such
Leased Property and for the difference in the amount received by such reletting
and the amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease.
(b) Landlord
may terminate this Lease with respect to all or any portion of the Leased
Property by written notice to Tenant, exclude Tenant from possession of such
Leased Property and use commercially reasonable efforts to lease such Leased
Property to others, holding Tenant liable for the difference in the amounts
received from such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under this
Lease.
(c) Landlord
may re-enter the Leased Property or any portion thereof and have, repossess and
enjoy such Leased Property as if this Lease had not been made, and in such
event, Tenant and its successors and assigns shall remain liable for any
contingent or unliquidated obligations or sums owing at the time of such
repossession.
(d) Landlord
may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the books and records
and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other returns of Tenant
insofar as they pertain to the Leased Property subject to Landlord’s obligation
to maintain the confidentiality of any patient or employee information in
accordance with the requirements of applicable State or federal
law.
29
(e) Landlord
may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent hereunder based on the then current Rent
Schedule so that the aggregate Rent for the unexpired term of this Lease becomes
immediately due and payable.
(f) Landlord
may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or
desirable to collect the Rent and other amounts payable under this Lease then
due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of
any obligations, agreements or covenants of Tenant under this
Lease.
(g) With
respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof and Secured Party’s security
interest therein, Secured Party may exercise all of its rights as secured party
under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Secured Party
may sell the Collateral by public or private sale upon five days notice to
Tenant or Subtenant. Tenant and Subtenant agree that a commercially
reasonable manner of disposition of the Collateral shall include, without
limitation and at the option of Secured Party, a sale of the Collateral, in
whole or in part, concurrently with the sale of the Leased
Property.
(h) Secured
Party may obtain control over and collect the Receivables and apply the proceeds
of the collections to satisfaction of the Obligor Group Obligations unless
prohibited by law. Tenant and Subtenant appoint HCRI or its designee
as attorney for Tenant and Subtenant, respectively, with powers [i] to
receive, to endorse, to sign and/or to deliver, in Tenant’s or Subtenant’s name
or Secured Party’s name, any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for
the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and to waive demand,
presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, and any other notice with respect to
any such instrument; [ii] to sign Tenant’s or Subtenant’s name on any
invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Receivable, drafts against account
debtors, assignments and verifications of Receivables, and notices to account
debtors; [iii] to send verifications of Receivables to any account debtor;
and [iv] to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this
Lease. Absent gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured
Party, Secured Party shall not be liable for any omissions, commissions, errors
of judgment, or mistakes in fact or law made in the exercise of any such
powers. At Secured Party’s option, Tenant and Subtenant shall
[i] provide Secured Party a full accounting of all amounts received on
account of Receivables with such frequency and in such form as Secured Party may
require, either with or without applying all collections on Receivables in
payment of the Obligor Group Obligations or [ii] deliver to Secured Party
on the day of receipt all such collections in the form received and duly
endorsed by Tenant or Subtenant, as applicable. At Secured Party’s
request, Tenant and Subtenant shall institute any action or enter into any
settlement determined by Secured Party to be necessary to obtain recovery or
redress from any account debtor in default of Receivables. Secured
Party may give notice of its security interest in the Receivables to any or all
account debtors with instructions to make all payments on Receivables directly
to Secured Party, thereby terminating Tenant’s and Subtenant’s authority to
collect Receivables. After terminating Tenant’s and Subtenant’s
authority to enforce or collect Receivables, Secured Party shall have the right
to take possession of any or all Receivables and records thereof and is hereby
authorized to do so, and only Secured Party shall have the right to collect and
enforce the Receivables. Prior to the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, at Tenant’s and Subtenant’s cost and
expense, but on behalf of Secured Party and for Secured Party’s account, Tenant
and Subtenant shall collect or otherwise enforce all amounts unpaid on
Receivables and hold all such collections in trust for
30
Secured
Party, but Tenant and Subtenant may commingle such collections with Tenant’s and
Subtenant’s own funds, until Tenant’s and Subtenant’s authority to do so has
been terminated, which may be done only after an Event of
Default. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Secured Party
does not assume any of Tenant’s or Subtenant’s obligations under any Receivable,
and Secured Party shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of any
of the terms and conditions thereof by Tenant or Subtenant.
(i) Without
waiving any prior or subsequent Event of Default, Landlord may waive any Event
of Default or, with or without waiving any Event of Default, remedy any
default.
(j) Landlord
may terminate its obligation, if any, to disburse Investment
Advances.
(k) Landlord
may enter and take possession of the Land or any portion thereof and any one or
more Facilities without terminating this Lease and complete construction and
renovation of the Improvements (or any part thereof) and perform the obligations
of Tenant under the Lease Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant hereby appoints HCRI its
lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to do any of the
following: [i] complete construction, renovation and equipping
of the Improvements in the name of Tenant; [ii] use unadvanced funds
remaining under the Investment Amount, or funds that may be reserved, escrowed,
or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in
excess of the Investment Amount, to complete the Improvements; [iii] make
changes in the plans and specifications that shall be necessary or desirable to
complete the Improvements in substantially the manner contemplated by the plans
and specifications; [iv] retain or employ new general contractors,
subcontractors, architects, engineers, and inspectors as shall be required for
said purposes; [v] pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills and
claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and
claims becoming liens against the Facility or security interest against fixtures
or equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the
construction and equipping of the Improvements or for the clearance of title;
[vi] execute all applications and certificates, in the name of Tenant, that
may be required in connection with any construction; [vii] do any and every
act that Tenant might do in its own behalf, to prosecute and defend all actions
or proceedings in connection with the Improvements; and [viii] to execute,
deliver and file all applications and other documents and take any and all
actions necessary to transfer the operations of the Facility to Secured Party or
Secured Party’s designee. This power of attorney is a power coupled
with an interest and cannot be revoked.
(l) Landlord
may apply, with or without notice to Tenant, for the appointment of a receiver
(“Receiver”) for Tenant or Tenant’s business or for the Leased Property;
provided, however, in the case of an Event of Default which relates to less than
all of the Leased Property, such Receiver’s power and authority shall be limited
to the affected Facility. Unless prohibited by law, such appointment
may be made either before or after termination of Tenant’s possession of the
Leased Property, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of
Tenant at the time of application for such Receiver and without regard to the
then value of the Leased Property, and Secured Party may be appointed as
Receiver. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to
31
appointment
of a receiver as a matter of right and without the need to make any showing
other than the existence of an Event of Default. The Receiver shall
have the power to collect the rents, income, profits and Receivables of the
Leased Property during the pendency of the receivership and all other powers
which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection,
possession, control, management and operation of the Leased Property during the
whole of said proceeding. All sums of money received by the Receiver
from such rents and income, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and
expenses paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement
thereof, shall be applied to the payment of the Rent or any other monetary
obligation of Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, any losses
or damages incurred by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant, if
requested to do so, will consent to the appointment of any such Receiver as
aforesaid.
(m) Landlord
may terminate any management agreement with respect to any of the Leased
Property and shall have the right to retain one or more managers for the Leased
Property at the expense of Tenant, such manager(s) to serve for such term and at
such compensation as Landlord reasonably determines is necessary under the
circumstances.
8.3 Right of
Set-Off. Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant to,
at any time and from time to time without advance notice to Tenant (any such
notice being expressly waived by Tenant), set-off or recoup and apply any and
all sums held by Landlord, any indebtedness of Landlord to Tenant, and any
claims by Tenant against Landlord, against any obligations of Tenant hereunder
and against any claims by Landlord against Tenant, whether or not such
obligations or claims of Tenant are matured and whether or not Landlord has
exercised any other remedies hereunder. The rights of Landlord under
this section are in addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have
against Tenant.
8.4 Performance of Tenant’s
Covenants. Landlord may perform any obligation of Tenant which
Tenant has failed to perform within five days after Landlord has sent a written
notice to Tenant informing it of its specific failure. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord on demand, as General Additional Rent, for any expenditures
thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at Landlord’s rate of
return as provided in the Commitment.
8.5 Late Payment
Charge.
(a) Rent. Tenant
acknowledges that any default in the payment of any installment of Rent payable
hereunder will result in loss and additional expense to Landlord in servicing
any indebtedness of Landlord secured by the Leased Property, handling such
delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations, and because
such loss and additional expense is extremely difficult and impractical to
ascertain, Tenant agrees that in the event any Rent payable to Landlord
hereunder is not paid within 10 days after the due date, Tenant shall pay a
late charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue payment as a reasonable estimate
of such loss and expenses, unless applicable law requires a lesser charge, in
which event the maximum rate permitted by such law may be charged by
Landlord. The 10-day period set forth in this section shall run
concurrently with the 10-day period contemplated under §8.1(a) and shall not
otherwise extend the time for payment of Rent or the period for curing any
default or constitute a waiver of such default.
32
(b) Non-Rent
Obligations. With respect to Non-Rent obligations, Tenant
acknowledges that any default in the payment of any amount payable by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease will result in loss and additional expense to Landlord
in servicing any indebtedness of Landlord secured by the Leased Property,
handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations,
and because such loss and additional expense is extremely difficult and
impractical to ascertain, Tenant agrees that in the event such amount is not
paid within 10 days after the due date or within 10 days after receipt
of any invoice from Landlord (if Landlord is obligated under the terms of the
Lease to provide an invoice), Tenant shall pay a late charge of 5% of the amount
of the overdue payment as a reasonable estimate of such loss and expenses,
unless applicable law requires a lesser charge, in which event the maximum rate
permitted by such law may be charged by Landlord. The 10-day period
set forth in this section shall run concurrently with the 10-day period
contemplated under §8.1(a) and shall not otherwise extend the time for payment
of the invoice or the period for curing any default or constitute a waiver of
such default.
8.6 Default
Rent. At Landlord’s option at any time after the occurrence of
an Event of Default and while such Event of Default remains uncured, the Base
Rent payable under this Lease shall be increased to reflect Landlord’s rate of
return of 18.5% per annum on the Investment Amount (“Default Rent”); provided,
however, that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any other
amounts payable under this Lease are deemed to be interest, the Default Rent
shall be adjusted to ensure that the aggregate interest payable under this Lease
does not accrue at a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate.
8.7 Attorneys’
Fees. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord’s rights under this
Lease, whether or not an Event of Default has actually occurred or has been
declared and thereafter cured, including, without limitation, [i] the fees,
expenses, and costs of any litigation, appellate, receivership, administrative,
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding; [ii] reasonable
attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and disbursements; and
[iii] the expenses, including, without limitation, lodging, meals, and
transportation, of Landlord and its employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses
in preparing for litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar proceedings and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in
connection therewith. All such reasonable costs, expenses, charges
and fees payable by Tenant shall be deemed to be General Additional Rent under
this Lease.
8.8 Escrows and Application of
Payments. As security for the performance of the Obligor Group
Obligations, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title, and
interest in and to all monies escrowed with Landlord under this Lease and all
deposits with utility companies, taxing authorities and insurance companies;
provided, however, that Landlord shall not exercise its rights hereunder until
an Event of Default has occurred. Any payments received by Landlord
under any provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of an
Event of Default shall be applied to the Obligor Group Obligations in the order
which Landlord may determine.
8.9 Remedies
Cumulative. The remedies of Landlord herein are cumulative to
and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in
equity. The use of any one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or
waive the right to use any other remedy.
33
8.10 Waivers. Tenant
waives [i] any notice required by statute or other law as a condition to
bringing an action for possession of, or eviction from, any of the Leased
Property, [ii] any right of re-entry or repossession, [iii] any right
to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Lease, [iv] any right of redemption whether pursuant to statute, at
law or in equity, [v] all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protest, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices to
quit and any other notice or demand of any kind (other than those specifically
provided for in this Lease, and [vi] all notices of the existence, creation
or incurring of any obligation or advance under this Lease before or after this
date.
8.11 Obligations Under the
Bankruptcy Code. Upon filing of a petition by or against
Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant, as debtor and as debtor-in-possession,
and any trustee who may be appointed with respect to the assets of or estate in
bankruptcy of Tenant, agree to pay monthly in advance on the first day of each
month, as reasonable compensation for the use and occupancy of the Leased
Property, an amount equal to all Rent due pursuant to this
Lease. Included within and in addition to any other conditions or
obligations imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of the assumption
and/or assignment of this Lease are the following: [i] the cure
of any monetary defaults and reimbursement of pecuniary loss within not more
than five Business Days of assumption and/or assignment; [ii] the deposit
of an additional amount equal to not less than three months’ Base Rent, which
amount is agreed to be a necessary and appropriate deposit to adequately assure
the future performance under this Lease of the Tenant or its assignee; and
[iii] the continued use of the Leased Property for the Facility
Uses. Nothing herein shall be construed as an agreement by Landlord
to any assignment of this Lease or a waiver of Landlord’s right to seek adequate
assurance of future performance in addition to that set forth hereinabove in
connection with any proposed assumption and/or assignment of this
Lease.
8.12 California
Remedies. In addition to the provisions set forth above, for
each Facility located in the State of California, the following provisions shall
apply and shall supersede any provision in violation of the laws of the State of
California:
8.12.1 Remedies. On
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may at any time thereafter and
prior to the cure of such Event of Default, upon giving written notice to Tenant
but without limiting Landlord in the exercise of a right or remedy which
Landlord may have by reason of an Event of Default, do any of the
following:
(a) Landlord
may elect to continue the term of this Lease in full force and effect and not
terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property, in which event
Landlord shall have the right to enforce any rights and remedies granted by this
Lease or by law against Tenant, including, without limitation, the right to
collect when due Rent and other sums payable hereunder. Landlord
shall not be deemed to have elected to terminate this Lease unless Landlord
gives Tenant written notice of such election to terminate. Landlord’s
acts of maintenance or preservation of the Leased Property or efforts to relet
the Leased Property shall not terminate this Lease.
(b) Landlord
may elect immediately upon written notice to Tenant to terminate this Lease at
any time prior to Tenant’s cure of an Event of Default and in such
event
34
Landlord
may, at Landlord’s option, declare this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession
of the Leased Property terminated, reenter the Leased Property, remove Tenant’s
Property therefrom and dispose of it in any manner whatsoever allowed by law at
Tenant’s expense or store it for Tenant’s account and at Tenant’s risk and
expense (but Landlord shall not be required to effect such removal), eject all
persons from the Leased Property and recover damages from Tenant as hereinafter
provided. Any such reentry shall be permitted by Tenant without
hindrance. Landlord shall not thereby be liable in damages for such
reentry or be guilty of trespass, forcible entry or unlawful
detainer. If Landlord so terminates this Lease and Tenant’s right to
possession, such termination shall cancel all Tenant’s options, if any, to
extend or renew the term of this Lease.
(c) Landlord
may at its sole discretion elect to notify any Subtenant (or assignee) of the
Leased Property of the existence of an Event of Default by Tenant in writing and
thereafter all Rent and other amounts due from any Subtenant of the Leased
Property shall be paid to Landlord and Landlord shall apply such Rent and other
amounts in payment of the amounts due from Tenant under this
Lease. The delivery of such notice to any Subtenant and the
collection of such Rent and other amounts by Landlord shall not terminate this
Lease. Upon Tenant’s cure of the Event of Default and receipt by
Landlord of all Rent and other amounts due from Tenant, Landlord shall notify
Subtenant (or assignee) to make payments as provided in its sublease or
lease.
8.12.2 Damages. In
the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to
possession in accordance with §8.12.1(b), or the same are terminated by
operation of law due to an Event of Default, Landlord may recover as damages
from Tenant the following:
(a) The worth
at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and other sums due hereunder which had
been earned at the time of termination of the Lease;
(b) The worth
at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due
hereunder which would have been earned after the date of termination of this
Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent and other
sums due that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(c) The worth
at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums
due hereunder for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of the loss of such Rent and other sums that Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided;
(d) Any other
amount, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs,
leasing commissions and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting
the Leased Property or preparing, altering or remodeling the Leased Property for
such reletting. Landlord shall also recover any amount which is
necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by
Tenant’s act of default or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom; and
35
(e) At
Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
The
“worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in §8.12.2(a) and (b)
above, is computed by allowing interest at the maximum legal rate of
interest. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to
in §8.12.2(c) above, is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate
of Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus
1%.
ARTICLE
9: DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
9.1 Notice of
Casualty. If the Leased Property shall be destroyed, in whole
or in part, or damaged by fire, flood, windstorm or other casualty in excess of
$150,000.00 (a “Casualty”), Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord
within two Business Days after the occurrence of the Casualty. Within
15 days after the occurrence of the Casualty or as soon thereafter as such
information is reasonably available to Tenant, Tenant shall provide the
following information to Landlord: [i] the date of the Casualty;
[ii] the nature of the Casualty; [iii] a description of the damage or
destruction caused by the Casualty, including the type of Leased Property
damaged and the area of the Improvements damaged; [iv] a preliminary
estimate of the cost to repair, rebuild, restore or replace the Leased Property;
[v] a preliminary estimate of the schedule to complete the repair,
rebuilding, restoration or replacement of the Leased Property; [vi] a
description of the anticipated property insurance claim, including the name of
the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected
settlement amount, and the expected settlement date; and [vii] a
description of the business interruption claim, including the name of the
insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected
settlement amount, and the expected settlement date. Within five days
after request from Landlord, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all
correspondence to the insurer and any other information reasonably requested by
Landlord.
9.2 Substantial
Destruction.
9.2.1 If
any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed at any time other than
during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant
shall promptly rebuild and restore such Improvements in accordance with §9.4 and
Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such
restoration. The term “substantially destroyed” means any casualty
resulting in the loss of use of 50% or more of the licensed beds at any one
Facility.
9.2.2 If
any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final
18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Landlord may elect to
terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Leased Property and retain the
insurance proceeds unless Tenant exercises its option to renew as set forth in
§9.2.3. If Landlord elects to terminate, Landlord shall give notice
(“Termination Notice”) of its election to terminate this Lease within
30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of the damage. If
Tenant does not exercise its option to renew under §9.2.3 within 15 days
after delivery of the Termination Notice, this Lease shall terminate on the
15th day
after delivery of the Termination Notice. If this Lease is so
terminated, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other
obligations accrued under this Lease through the effective date of
termination.
36
9.2.3 If
any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final
18 months of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term and Landlord gives the
Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease with
respect to the entire Leased Property (but not any part
thereof). Tenant shall give Landlord irrevocable notice of Tenant’s
election to renew within 15 days after delivery of the Termination
Notice. If Tenant elects to renew, the Renewal Term will be in effect
for the balance of the then current Term plus a 15-year period. The
Renewal Term will commence on the third day following Landlord’s receipt of
Tenant’s notice of renewal. All other terms of this Lease for the
Renewal Term shall be in accordance with Article 12. The
Improvements will be restored by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of
this Article 9 regarding partial destruction.
9.3 Partial
Destruction. If any Facility’s Improvements are not
substantially destroyed, then Tenant shall comply with the provisions of §9.4
and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such
restoration.
9.4 Restoration. Subject
to any limitations imposed by law with respect to the rebuilding of the Leased
Premises, Tenant shall promptly repair, rebuild, or restore the damaged Leased
Property, at Tenant’s expense, so as to make the Leased Property at least equal
in value to the Leased Property existing immediately prior to such occurrence
and as nearly similar to it in character as is practicable and
reasonable. Before beginning such repairs or rebuilding, or letting
any contracts in connection with such repairs or rebuilding with respect to any
Casualty, Tenant will submit for Landlord’s approval, which approval Landlord
will not unreasonably withhold or delay, plans and specifications meeting the
requirements of §16.2 for such repairs or rebuilding. Promptly after
receiving Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications, Tenant will begin
such repairs or rebuilding and will prosecute the repairs and rebuilding to
completion with diligence, subject, however, to strikes, lockouts, acts of God,
embargoes, governmental restrictions, and other causes beyond Tenant’s
reasonable control. Landlord will make available to Tenant the net
proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance paid to Landlord for such
repair or rebuilding as the same progresses, after deduction of any costs of
collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Payments will be
made against properly certified vouchers of a competent architect in charge of
the work and approved by Landlord. Payments for deposits for the
repairing or rebuilding or delivery of materials to the Facility will be made
upon Landlord’s receipt of evidence satisfactory to Landlord that such payments
are required in advance. With respect to any Casualty, prior to
commencing the repairing or rebuilding, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for
Landlord’s approval a schedule setting forth the estimated monthly draws for
such work. Landlord will contribute to such payments out of the
insurance proceeds an amount equal to the proportion that the total net amount
received by Landlord from insurers bears to the total estimated cost of the
rebuilding or repairing, multiplied by the payment by Tenant on account of such
work. Landlord may, however, withhold 10% from each payment until the
work is completed and proof has been furnished to Landlord that no lien or
liability has attached or will attach to the Leased Property or to Landlord in
connection with such repairing or rebuilding. Upon the completion of
rebuilding and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of the net proceeds of
such insurance payable to Tenant on account of such repairing or rebuilding will
be paid to Tenant. If required by law as a result of the nature or
extent of the damage, Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary or
final certificate of occupancy before the damaged Leased Property is reoccupied
for any purpose. Tenant shall complete such repairs or rebuilding
free and clear of mechanic’s or other liens, and in accordance with the building
codes and all
37
applicable
laws, ordinances, regulations, or orders of any state, municipal, or other
public authority affecting the repairs or rebuilding, and also in accordance
with all requirements of the insurance rating organization, or similar
body. Any remaining proceeds of insurance after such restoration will
be Tenant’s property.
9.5 Insufficient
Proceeds. If the proceeds of any insurance settlement are not
sufficient to pay the costs of Tenant’s repair, rebuilding or restoration under
§9.4 in full, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord at Landlord’s option, and
within 10 days of Landlord’s request, an amount sufficient in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment to complete such repair, rebuilding or restoration or shall
provide Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant
has available the funds needed to complete such repair, rebuilding or
restoration. Tenant shall not, by reason of the deposit or payment,
be entitled to any reimbursement from Landlord or diminution in or postponement
of the payment of the Rent.
9.6 Not Trust
Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or equity to
the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds paid to Landlord as herein provided
shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such
proceeds as provided in this Article 9. Tenant expressly assumes
all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment or value, of the
Leased Property from any casualty whatsoever, whether or not insurable or
insured against.
9.7 Landlord’s
Inspection. During the progress of such repairs or rebuilding,
Landlord and its architects and engineers may, from time to time, inspect the
Leased Property and will be furnished, if required by them, with copies of all
plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating to such repairs or
rebuilding. Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and
specifications at the building, and Landlord and its architects and engineers
may examine them at all reasonable times and on reasonable
notice. If, during such repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its
architects and engineers determine that the repairs or rebuilding are not being
done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, Landlord will
give prompt notice in writing to Tenant, specifying in detail the particular
deficiency, omission, or other respect in which Landlord claims such repairs or
rebuilding do not accord with the approved plans and
specifications. Upon the receipt of any such notice, Tenant will
cause corrections to be made to any deficiencies, omissions, or such other
respect. Tenant’s obligations to supply insurance, according to
Article 4, will be applicable to any repairs or rebuilding under this
section.
9.8 Landlord’s
Costs. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an
invoice from Landlord, pay the costs, expenses, and fees of any architect or
engineer employed by Landlord to review any plans and specifications and to
supervise and approve any construction, or for any services rendered by such
architect or engineer to Landlord as contemplated by any of the provisions of
this Lease, or for any services performed by Landlord’s attorneys in connection
therewith.
9.9 No Rent
Abatement. Rent will not xxxxx pending the repairs or
rebuilding of the Leased Property.

ARTICLE
10: CONDEMNATION
10.1 Total
Taking. If, by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by
conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right
(“Taking”), any entire Facility Property is taken, or so much of any Facility
Property is taken that the number of licensed beds/units at the Facility
Property is reduced by more than 25% as a result of such Taking, then this Lease
will end with respect to such Facility Property only on the earlier of the
vesting of title to the Facility Property in the condemning authority or the
taking of possession of the Facility Property by the condemning
authority. Upon such termination, the Investment Amount shall be
reduced by the amount received by Landlord as a result of the Taking unless
there is only one Facility Property subject to this Lease in which case the
Lease will terminate. The removal from this Lease of one Facility
Property due to a taking is the result of circumstances beyond the control of
Landlord and Tenant and the parties affirm that, except for such isolated
situation or as otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Lease for the
removal of one or more of the Facility under certain defined circumstances, this
Lease is intended to be a single indivisible Lease. All damages
awarded for such Taking under the power of eminent domain shall be the property
of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for
diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee of the Facility Property;
provided, however, nothing herein shall preclude Tenant from pursuing a separate
award for the Taking of its Tenant’s Property (as defined below) or for
relocation costs or expenses.
10.2 Partial
Taking. If, after a Taking, so much of the Facility Property
remains that the Facility Property can be used for substantially the same
purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then [i] this
Lease will end as to the part taken on the earlier of the vesting of title to
such Leased Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of
such Leased Property by the condemning authority and the Rent will be adjusted
accordingly; [ii] at its cost, Tenant shall restore so much of the Facility
Property as remains to a sound architectural unit substantially suitable for the
purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, using good
workmanship and new, first-class materials; [iii] upon completion of the
restoration, Landlord will pay Tenant the lesser of the net award made to
Landlord on the account of the Taking (after deducting from the total award,
reasonable attorneys’, appraisers’, and other fees and costs incurred in
connection with the obtaining of the award and amounts paid to the holders of
mortgages secured by the Facility Property), or Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket
costs of restoring the Facility Property; and [iv] Landlord shall be
entitled to the balance of the net award except to the extent specifically
allocated to the value of Tenant’s Property or any relocation costs or expenses
incurred by Tenant as a result of such Partial Taking. The
restoration shall be completed in accordance with §§9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9
with such provisions deemed to apply to condemnation instead of
casualty.
10.3 Condemnation Proceeds Not
Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or at law
or equity to the contrary, none of the condemnation award paid to Landlord shall
be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such
proceeds as provided in this Article 10. Tenant expressly
assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment, or value,
of the Leased Property from any Condemnation.
39
ARTICLE
11: TENANT’S PROPERTY
11.1 Tenant’s
Property. Tenant shall have the right to install, place, and
use on the Leased Property such fixtures, furniture, equipment, inventory and
other personal property in addition to Landlord’s Personal Property as may be
required or as Tenant may, from time to time, deem necessary or useful to
operate the Leased Property for its permitted purposes. All fixtures,
furniture, equipment, inventory, and other personal property installed, placed,
or used on the Leased Property which is owned by Tenant or leased by Tenant from
third parties is hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Property”.
11.2 Requirements for Tenant’s
Property. Tenant shall comply with all of the following
requirements in connection with Tenant’s Property:
(a) Tenant
shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain, repair, and replace Tenant’s
Property.
(b) Tenant
shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep Tenant’s Property insured against
loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage,
earthquake, and other physical loss perils commonly covered by fire and extended
coverage, boiler and machinery, and difference in conditions insurance in an
amount not less than 90% of the then full replacement cost
thereof. Tenant shall use the proceeds from any such policy for the
repair and replacement of Tenant’s Property. The insurance shall meet
the requirements of §4.3.
(c) Tenant
shall pay all taxes applicable to Tenant’s Property.
(d) If
Tenant’s Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, Tenant
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repair or replace Tenant’s
Property (unless the same is required for the operation of the Leased Property
in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, in which case Tenant shall be
required to promptly repair or replace the same) unless Landlord elects to
terminate this Lease pursuant to §9.2.2.
(e) Unless an
Event of Default or any event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time,
or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred, Tenant may remove
Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property from time to time provided that
[i] the items removed are not required to operate the Leased Property for
the Facility Uses (unless such items are being replaced by Tenant); and
[ii] Tenant repairs any damage to the Leased Property resulting from the
removal of Tenant’s Property.
(f) Tenant
shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord or as otherwise
provided in this Lease, remove any Tenant’s Property or Leased
Property. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, remove Tenant’s
Property upon the termination or expiration of this Lease and shall repair any
damage to the Leased Property resulting from the removal of Tenant’s
Property. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s Property within
30 days after request by Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to have
abandoned Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s Property shall become the property of
Landlord, and Landlord may remove, store and dispose of Tenant’s
Property. In such event, Tenant shall have no claim or right against
Landlord for such property or the value thereof regardless of the disposition
thereof by Landlord. Tenant shall pay
40
Landlord,
upon demand, all expenses incurred by Landlord in removing, storing, and
disposing of Tenant’s Property and repairing any damage caused by such
removal. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the termination
or expiration of this Lease.
(g) Tenant
shall perform its obligations under any equipment lease or security agreement
for Tenant’s Property. For equipment loans or leases for critical
care equipment and for all other equipment having an original cost in excess of
$250,000.00 per Facility, Tenant shall cause such equipment lessor or lender to
enter into a nondisturbance agreement with Landlord upon terms and conditions
acceptable to Landlord, including, without limitation, the
following: [i] Landlord shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to assume such equipment lease or security agreement upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder; [ii] such equipment
lessor or lender shall notify Landlord of any default by Tenant under the
equipment lease or security agreement and give Landlord a reasonable opportunity
to cure such default; and [iii] Landlord shall have the right to assign its
interest in the equipment lease or security agreement and nondisturbance
agreement. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an
invoice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in
reviewing and approving the equipment lease, security agreement and
nondisturbance agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs.
ARTICLE
12: RENEWAL OPTIONS
12.1 Renewal
Options. Tenant has the option to renew (“Renewal Option”)
this Lease for one 15-year renewal term (“Renewal Term”). Tenant can
exercise the Renewal Option only upon satisfaction of the following
conditions:
(a) There
shall be no uncured Event of Default, or any event which with the passage of
time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, at the time
Tenant exercises its Renewal Option nor on the date the Renewal Term is to
commence.
(b) Tenant
shall give Landlord irrevocable written notice of renewal no later than the date
which is [i] 90 days prior to the expiration date of the then current
Term; or [ii] 15 days after Landlord’s delivery of the Termination
Notice as set forth in §9.2.3.
12.2 Effect of
Renewal. The following terms and conditions will be applicable
if Tenant renews the Lease:
(a) Effective
Date. Except as otherwise provided in §9.2.3, the effective
date of any Renewal Term will be the first day after the expiration date of the
then current Term. The first day of each Renewal Term is also
referred to as the Renewal Date.

Amount. Effective as of the Renewal Date, a single Investment
Amount will be computed by summing all Investment Advance Amounts.
(c) Rent
Adjustment. Effective as of the Renewal Date, Landlord shall
calculate Base Rent for the Renewal Term in accordance with §2.1(c)(2) of the
Commitment and shall issue a new Rent Schedule reflecting the Base
Rent. Until Tenant receives a revised Rent Schedule from Landlord,
Tenant shall for each month [i] continue to make installments of Base Rent
according to the Rent Schedule in effect on the day before the Renewal Date;
and
41
[ii] within
10 days following Landlord’s issuance of an invoice, pay the difference

Renewal Term.
ARTICLE
13: RIGHT OF FIRST OPPORTUNITY AND OPTION TO PURCHASE
13.1 Right of First
Opportunity. In the event at any time during the Term either
[i] Landlord elects to seek a purchaser of the Leased Property (the “Right
of First Opportunity Event”) or [ii] Landlord receives a bona fide offer
from a third party (the “Offer”) setting forth the terms and conditions upon
which it proposes to purchase the Leased Property which it is interested in
accepting, but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to accept (the “Right of
First Refusal Event”), the following provisions shall apply:
(a) In the
event of the occurrence of the Right of First Opportunity Event, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with written notice of its intent to sell the Leased Property and
its proposed terms with respect thereto (the “Opportunity
Notice”). Landlord and Tenant shall have a period of 30 days
after Tenant’s receipt of the Opportunity Notice (the “Protected Period”) to
negotiate in good faith with respect to the terms and conditions under which
such transaction shall occur provided that in no event shall the purchase price
be less than the Base Price and shall occur on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Transaction Documents (as defined below) (the “Opportunity
Transaction”). In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach
agreement within the Protected Period with respect to the terms of the
Opportunity Transaction, then Landlord shall be free to enter into negotiations
with respect to the Opportunity Transaction with any other person or entity;
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be permitted to consummate a
transaction with any other person or entity on terms which are less favorable to
Landlord than those offered to Tenant during the Protected Period without first
offering Tenant the opportunity on written notice setting forth such terms to
consummate the Opportunity Transaction on such alternative terms and conditions
(the “Modified Opportunity Notice”); provided, however, that Tenant shall be
deemed to have waived its right to proceed with such revised Opportunity
Transaction in the event it does not advise Landlord of its election to proceed
within 10 days after its receipt of the Modified Opportunity
Notice.
(b) In the
event of the occurrence of a Right of First Refusal Event, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a true and correct copy of the Offer (the “Right of First
Refusal Notice”). Tenant shall have 20 days from its receipt of
the Right of First Refusal Notice to advise Landlord in writing whether it is
prepared to purchase the Leased Property on the same terms and conditions as set
forth in the Offer. Tenant’s failure to so advise Landlord within
such 20 day period shall be deemed to be a determination by Tenant not to
exercise the right of first refusal provided for herein, at which time Landlord
shall be free to consummate the transaction which was the subject of the Offer;
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be permitted to modify the terms
specified in the Offer in an manner more favorable to the third party than those
reflected in the original Offer (the “Modified Offer”) without first again
offering Tenant the opportunity to consummate a transaction on the terms set
forth in the Modified Offer; provided,
42
however,
that Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to proceed with such a
transaction in the event it does not advise Landlord of its election to proceed
within 10 days after its receipt of the Modified Offer.
(c) In the
event Landlord does not consummate a transaction on the terms provided for in
the Offer or the Modified Offer, as applicable, within 90 days after the
date thereof, Landlord shall not be permitted to sell the Leased Property to the
Offeror or to any other party, whether on the terms set forth in the Offer or
the Modified Offer, as applicable, or pursuant to a new Offer without again
first offering Tenant an option to consummate a transaction on the terms
specified in the Offer, the Modified Offer or any new Offer, as applicable;
provided, however, that Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights
hereunder in the event it does not advise Landlord of its election to proceed
within 10 days after its receipt of another copy of the Offer or of the
Modified Offer or the new Offer, as applicable.
(d) In the
event Tenant exercises its right of first refusal or right of first opportunity
provided for herein, Tenant and Landlord shall have a period of 30 days in
which to enter into one or more written agreements outlining the terms and
conditions, in addition to those set forth in the Offer or Modified Offer, if
applicable, on which the sale will occur (the “Transaction
Documents”). In the event Landlord and Tenant fail to execute the
Transaction Documents within said 30 day period, then Tenant shall be
deemed to have forfeited its rights hereunder with respect to such transaction;
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be permitted to sell the Leased
Property to any other person or entity on terms which are less favorable to
Landlord than those offered to Tenant during the Protected Period or beyond the
expiration of the 90 day period provided for in clause (c), without
first complying with the terms of this §13.1 unless Landlord and Tenant failed
to execute the Transaction Documents as a result of Tenant’s bad faith in the
negotiation of the terms of such Transaction Documents, in which case Landlord
shall be permitted to sell the Leased Property to any other person or entity
regardless of the terms of such transaction.
(e) Any sale
of the Leased Property by Landlord pursuant to this §13, other than to Tenant,
shall be subject to the rights of Tenant under this Lease, including, but not
limited to, its rights under this §13.
(f) Any
closing pursuant to, and the consequences to Tenant of failing to close after
exercising its rights under §13.1 shall be in accordance with the terms set
forth in the Offer or Modified Offer and in the Transaction Documents executed
pursuant to the terms of this Article 13.
13.1.1 Fair Market
Value. The fair market value (the “Fair Market Value”) of the
Leased Property shall be determined as follows.
13.1.1.1 The
parties shall attempt to determine the Fair Market Value by mutual agreement
within 15 days after giving the purchase notice (the “Negotiation
Period”). However, if the parties do not agree on the Fair Market
Value during the Negotiation Period, the following provisions shall
apply.
43
13.1.1.2 Landlord
and Tenant shall each give the other party notice of the name of an acceptable
appraiser five Business Days after the end of the Negotiation
Period. The two appraisers will then select a third appraiser within
an additional five days. Each appraiser must demonstrate to the
reasonable satisfaction of both Landlord and Tenant that it has significant
experience in appraising properties similar to the Leased
Property. Within five days after designation, each appraiser shall
submit a resume to Landlord and Tenant setting forth such appraiser’s
qualifications, including education and experience with similar
properties. A notice of objections to the qualifications of any
appraiser shall be given within 10 days after receipt of such
resume. If a party fails to timely object to the qualifications of an
appraiser, then the appraiser shall be conclusively deemed
satisfactory. If a party gives a timely notice of objection to the
qualifications of an appraiser, then the disqualified appraiser shall be
replaced by an appraiser selected by the qualified appraisers or, if all
appraisers are disqualified, then by an appraiser selected by a commercial
arbitrator acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.
13.1.1.3 The
Fair Market Value shall be determined by the appraisers within 60 days
thereafter as follows. Each of the appraisers shall be instructed to
prepare an appraisal of the Leased Property in accordance with the following
instructions:
The
Leased Property is to be valued upon the three conventional approaches to
estimate value known as the Income, Sales Comparison and Cost
Approaches. Once the approaches are completed, the appraiser
correlates the individual approaches into a final value conclusion.
The three
approaches to estimate value are summarized as follows:
Income
Approach: This valuation approach recognizes that the value of
the operating tangible and intangible assets can be represented by the expected
economic viability of the business giving returns on and of the
assets.
Sales Comparison
Approach: This valuation approach is based upon the principle
of substitution. When a facility is replaceable in the market, the
market approach assumes that value tends to be set at the price of acquiring an
equally desirable substitute facility. Since healthcare market
conditions change and frequently are subject to regulatory and financing
environments, adjustments need to be considered. These adjustments
also consider the operating differences such as services and
demographics.
Cost Approach: This
valuation approach estimates the value of the tangible assets
only. Value is represented by the market value of the land plus the
depreciated reproduction cost of all improvements and equipment.
In
general, the Income and Sales Comparison Approaches are considered the best
representation of value because they cover both tangible and intangible assets,
consider the operating
44
characteristics
of the business and have the most significant influence on attracting potential
investors.
The
appraised values submitted by the three appraisers shall be ranked from highest
value to middle value to lowest value, the appraised value (highest or lowest)
which is furthest from the middle appraised value shall be discarded, and the
remaining two appraised values shall be averaged to arrive at the Fair Market
Value.
13.1.1.4 Tenant
shall pay, or reimburse Landlord for, all costs and expenses in connection with
the appraisals.
13.2 Option to
Purchase. In consideration of rolling the Summerville
Facilities into this Lease, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to
purchase (“Option to Purchase”) all of the Summerville Facilities (but not any
part thereof except as specifically permitted in this §13.2) in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this §13.2. Tenant may exercise its
Option to Purchase only by giving an irrevocable notice of Tenant’s election to
purchase the Summerville Facilities (“Purchase Notice”) in accordance with the
following:
(a) During
the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant must give a Purchase Notice no
earlier than the date which is 180 days, and no later than the date which
is 90 days, prior to the expiration date of the then current Term of this
Lease.
(b) If any of
the Summerville Facilities’ Improvements are substantially destroyed during the
final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant (and each
Affiliate Tenant if required by Landlord) must give a Purchase Notice within
15 days after Landlord gives the Termination Notice pursuant to
§9.2.3.
(c) If there
is a Taking of any of the Summerville Facilities during the final 18 months
of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by exercise of the right of eminent
domain or by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such
right and this Lease is terminated as to the affected Summerville Facility as a
result thereof, Tenant must give a Purchase Notice within 30 days after
termination pursuant to §10.1.
Tenant
shall have no right to exercise the Option to Purchase other than in accordance
with the terms of this §13.2.
13.2.1 Option
Price. The option price (“Option Price”) will be an amount
equal to the sum of [a] the Summerville Investment Amount plus [b] 50%
of the amount by which the Summerville Fair Market Value at the time of the
option exercise exceeds the sum of the Summerville Investment Amount and the
Summerville Loan Amount. In addition to the Option Price, Tenant
shall pay all reasonable closing costs and expenses in connection with the
transfer of the Leased Property to Tenant, including, but not limited to, the
following: [a] real property conveyance or transfer fees or deed
stamps; [b] reasonable title search fees, title insurance commitment fees,
and title insurance premiums; [c] reasonable survey fees;
[d] reasonable environmental assessment fees; [e] recording fees;
[f] reasonable attorneys’ fees of Landlord’s counsel; and
[g] reasonable fees of any escrow agent. Tenant shall also pay
all reasonable amounts, costs, expenses, charges, Rent and other items payable
by Tenant to Landlord, including, but not limited to, enforcement costs as set
forth in §8.7.

13.2.2 Summerville Fair Market
Value. The fair market value of the Summerville Facilities
(the “Summerville Fair Market Value”) shall be determined as
follows:
13.2.2.1 The
parties shall attempt to determine the Summerville Fair Market Value by mutual
agreement within 15 days after the receipt of the Purchase
Notice. However, if the parties do not agree on the Summerville Fair
Market Value within such 15-day period, the following provisions shall
apply.
13.2.2.2 Landlord
and Tenant shall each give the other party notice of the name of an acceptable
appraiser 15 days after the receipt of the Purchase Notice. The
two appraisers will then select a third appraiser within an additional five
days. Each appraiser must demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction
of both Landlord and Tenant that it has significant experience in appraising
properties similar to the Summerville Facilities. Within five days
after designation, each appraiser shall submit a resume to Landlord and Tenant
setting forth such appraiser’s qualifications, including education and
experience with similar properties. A notice of objections to the
qualifications of any appraiser shall be given within 10 days after receipt
of such resume. If a party fails to timely object to the
qualifications of an appraiser, then the appraiser shall be conclusively deemed
satisfactory. If a party gives a timely notice of objection to the
qualifications of an appraiser, then the disqualified appraiser shall be
replaced by an appraiser selected by the qualified appraisers or, if all
appraisers are disqualified, then by an appraiser selected by a commercial
arbitrator acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.
13.2.2.3 The
Summerville Fair Market Value shall be determined by the appraisers within
60 days thereafter as follows. Each of the appraisers shall be
instructed to prepare an appraisal of the Summerville Facilities in accordance
with the following instructions:
The
Summerville Facilities are to be valued upon the three conventional approaches
to estimate value known as the Income, Sales Comparison and Cost Approaches as
defined in §13.1.1.3. Once the approaches are completed, the
appraiser correlates the individual approaches into a final value
conclusion.
The
appraised values submitted by the three appraisers shall be ranked from highest
value to middle value to lowest value, the appraised value (highest or lowest)
which is furthest from the middle appraised value shall be discarded, and the
remaining two appraised values shall be averaged to arrive at the Summerville
Fair Market Value.
13.2.2.4 In
the event of any condemnation, similar taking or threat thereof with respect to
any part of the Summerville Facilities or any insured or partially insured
casualty loss to any part of the Summerville Facilities after Tenant has
exercised an Option to Purchase, but before settlement, the Summerville Fair
Market Value shall be redetermined as provided in this §13.2.2 to give effect to
such condemnation, taking or loss and shall take into account all available
condemnation awards and insurance proceeds.
13.2.2.5 Tenant
shall pay, or reimburse Landlord for, all costs and expenses in connection with
the appraisals.
46
13.2.3 Closing. The
purchase of the Summerville Facilities by Tenant shall close on a date agreed to
by Landlord and Tenant which shall be not less than 60 days after
Landlord’s receipt of the Purchase Notice and not more than 60 days after
the Summerville Fair Market Value has been determined. At the
closing, Tenant shall pay the Option Price and all amounts payable under §13.2.1
in immediately available funds and Landlord shall convey title to the
Summerville Facilities to Tenant by one or more transferable and recordable
limited warranty deeds and limited warranty bills of sale.
13.2.4 Failure to Close
Option. If Tenant for any reason fails to purchase the
Summerville Facilities after Tenant has given the Purchase Notice, then Tenant
shall pay Landlord all costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord as a
result of the failure to close, including costs of unwinding swap transactions
or other interest rate protection devices and preparing for the
closing. Tenant shall continue to be obligated as lessee hereunder
for the remainder of the Term.
13.2.5 Failure to Exercise Option
to Purchase. If Tenant for any reason does not exercise its
Option to Purchase in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease
before the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed to have forfeited all
of Tenant’s rights to exercise the Option to Purchase.
13.2.6 Early Option to Purchase
Dayton Facility. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this §13.2, Tenant may exercise the Option to Purchase the Dayton
Facility prior to the end of the Lease Term (“Early Option”) subject to the same
terms and conditions of this §13.2 except that [i] the required Purchase
Notice must be given by June 30, 2009; [ii] at the time that the
Purchase Notice is given or in no event later than June 30, 2009, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord a signed letter of intent from an unaffiliated third
party to purchase the Dayton Facility from Tenant (“Third-Party Sale”);
[iii] the Early Option Price shall be $4,695,390.84; [iv] at the time

16.5 Ownership and Removal of

required or permitted to remove any Permitted Alterations.
16.6 Minimum Qualified Capital
Expenditures. During each calendar year of the Term, Tenant
shall expend at least $300.00 per unit for Qualified Capital Expenditures to

certificate of occupancy was not issued prior to the end of the first calendar
year, the minimum qualified capital expenditures required by this section shall
be waived until the calendar year immediately following the year in which such
certificate of occupancy is issued). Thereafter throughout the Term,
Tenant shall expend such amount each calendar year, increased annually in
proportion to increases in the CPI. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge
and agree that as of the Amended Effective Date the amount which Tenant is
required to expend for Qualified Capital Expenditures is $380.00 per

17: CONTINGENT PAYMENT
17.1 Contingent
Payment. Landlord has no current commitment to make a
Contingent Payment Advance.
ARTICLE
18: ASSIGNMENT AND SALE OF LEASED PROPERTY
18.1 Prohibition on Assignment
and Subletting. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has entered
into this Lease in reliance on the personal services and business expertise of
Tenant. Tenant may not assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge,
grant a right of first refusal or transfer any interest in this Lease, or in the
Leased Property, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute
discretion. The following transactions will be deemed an assignment
or sublease requiring Landlord’s prior written consent: [i] an
assignment by operation of law; [ii] an imposition (whether or not
consensual) of a lien, mortgage, or encumbrance upon Tenant’s interest in the
Lease; [iii] except as otherwise permitted by §§14.4 and 18.3, an
arrangement (including, but not limited to, management agreements, concessions,
licenses, and easements) which allows the use or occupancy of all or part of the
Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant; and [iv] a material change of
ownership of Tenant other than changes resulting from the trading of Tenant’s
stock on a national stock exchange. Landlord’s consent to any
assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will not release Tenant (or any
guarantor) from its payment and performance obligations under this Lease, but
rather Tenant, any guarantor, and Tenant’s assignee or sublessee will be jointly
and severally liable for such payment and performance. An assignment,
right of first refusal or sublease without the prior written consent of Landlord
will be void at Landlord’s option. Landlord’s consent to one
assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will not waive the requirement of
its consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant may enter into a Sublease with each Subtenant for each
Facility provided that each Sublease complies with §18.2 and Tenant may enter
into any interim sublease and management agreement required to comply with
licensure requirements until such time as the license to operate the Facility is
issued in Tenant’s name.
18.2 Requests for Landlord’s
Consent to Assignment, Sublease or Management Agreement. If
Tenant is required to obtain Landlord’s consent to a specific assignment,
sublease, or management agreement, Tenant shall give Landlord [i] the name
and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager; [ii] a copy of
the proposed assignment, sublease or management agreement; [iii] reasonably
satisfactory information about the nature, business and business history of the
proposed assignee, subtenant, or manager and its proposed use of the Leased
Property; and [iv] banking, financial, and other credit information, and
references about the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager sufficient to
enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the
proposed assignee, subtenant or manager. Any assignment, sublease or
management agreement shall contain provisions to the effect that [a] such
assignment, sublease or management agreement is subject and subordinate to all
of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord and that
the assignee, subtenant or manager shall comply with all applicable provisions
of this Lease; [b] such assignment, sublease or management agreement may
not be modified without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; [c] if this Lease shall terminate before
the expiration of such assignment, sublease or management agreement, the
assignee, subtenant or
56
manager
thereunder will, solely at Landlord’s option and only upon the express written
notice of attornment from Landlord, attorn to Landlord and waive any right the
assignee, subtenant or manager may have to terminate the assignment, sublease or
management agreement or surrender possession thereunder as a result of the
termination of this Lease; and [d] if the assignee, subtenant or manager
receives a written notice from Landlord stating that Tenant is in default under
this Lease, the assignee, subtenant or manager shall thereafter pay all rentals
or payments under the assignment, sublease or management agreement directly to
Landlord until such default has been cured. Any attempt or offer by
an assignee, subtenant or manager to attorn to Landlord shall not be binding or
effective without the express written consent of Landlord. Tenant
hereby collaterally assigns to Landlord, as security for the performance of its
obligations hereunder, all of Tenant’s right, title, and interest in and to any
assignment, sublease or management agreement now or hereafter existing for all
or part of the Leased Property. Tenant shall, at the request of
Landlord, execute such other instruments or documents as Landlord may request to
evidence this collateral assignment. If Landlord, in its sole and
absolute discretion, consents to such assignment, sublease, or management
agreement, such consent shall not be effective until [i] a fully executed
copy of the instrument of assignment, sublease or management agreement has been
delivered to Landlord; [ii] in the case of an assignment, Landlord has
received a written instrument in which the assignee has assumed and agreed to
perform all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease; and [iii] Tenant has
paid to Landlord a fee in the amount equal to the lesser of Landlord’s actual
out-of-pocket costs and expenses and $2,500.00 (applies only to consent requests
after the Closing); and [iv] Landlord has received reimbursement from
Tenant or the assignee for all attorneys’ fees and expenses and all other
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with determining
whether to give its consent, giving its consent and all matters relating to the
assignment (applies only to consent requests after the Closing).
18.3 Agreements with
Residents. Notwithstanding §18.1, Tenant and Subtenant may
enter into an occupancy agreement with residents of the Leased Property without
the prior written consent of Landlord provided that [i] the agreement does
not provide for lifecare services; [ii] the agreement does not contain any
type of rate lock provision or rate guaranty for more than one calendar year;
[iii] the agreement does not provide for any rent reduction or waiver other
than for an introductory period not to exceed six months; [iv] Tenant and
Subtenant may not collect rent for more than one month in advance, other than
one month of rent collected to be held as security for the performance of the
resident’s obligation to Tenant and Subtenant; and [v] all residents of the
Leased Property are accurately shown in accounting records for the
Facility. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant and
Subtenant shall not materially change the form of resident occupancy agreement
that was submitted to Landlord prior to the Amended Effective Date.
18.4 Sale of Leased
Property. If Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Leased
Property sells the Leased Property, its liability for the performance of its
agreements in this Lease will end on the date of the sale of the Leased
Property, and Tenant will look solely to the purchaser for the performance of
those agreements. For purposes of this section, any holder of a
mortgage or security agreement which affects the Leased Property at any time,
and any landlord under any lease to which this Lease is subordinate at any time,
will be a subsequent owner of the Leased Property when it succeeds to the
interest of Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Leased
Property.
57
18.5 Assignment by
Landlord. Landlord may transfer, assign, mortgage,
collaterally assign, or otherwise dispose of Landlord’s interest in this Lease
or the Leased Property.
ARTICLE
19: HOLDOVER AND SURRENDER
19.1 Holding
Over. If Tenant, with or without the express or implied
consent of Landlord, continues to hold and occupy the Leased Property (or any
part thereof) after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this
Lease (other than pursuant to Tenant’s purchase of the Leased Property), such
holding over beyond the Term and the acceptance or collection of Rent in the
amount specified below by Landlord shall operate and be construed as creating a
tenancy from month to month and not for any other term
whatsoever. Said month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord
by giving Tenant five days written notice, and at any time thereafter Landlord
may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property. If, without
Landlord’s consent or at Landlord’s request, Tenant continues after the
expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease to hold and occupy
the Leased Property whether as a month-to-month tenant or a tenant at sufferance
or otherwise, Tenant shall pay Rent for each month in an amount equal to the sum
of [i] one and one-half (1-1/2) times the Base Rent payable during the
month in which such expiration or termination occurs, plus [ii] all General
Additional Rent accruing during the month, plus [iii] any and all other
sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. During any continued
tenancy after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the
right, to the extent given by applicable law, to continue its occupancy and use
of the Leased Property until the tenancy is terminated. Nothing
contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord
to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
19.2 Surrender. Except
for [i] Permitted Alterations; [ii] normal and reasonable wear and
tear (subject to the obligation of Tenant to maintain the Leased Property in
good order and repair during the Term); and [iii] damage and destruction
not required to be repaired by Tenant, Tenant shall surrender and deliver up
each Facility which is then subject to this Lease at the expiration or
termination of the Term in as good order and condition as of the date that
Facility was added to the Lease. The provisions of this §19.2 shall
not apply in the event of the termination of the Lease upon the exercise by
Tenant of the rights set forth in Article 13.
19.3 Indemnity. If
Tenant fails to surrender the entire Leased Property or any part thereof upon
the expiration or termination of this Lease in a timely manner and in accordance
with the provisions of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to
Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord,
its principals, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless from loss or
liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, loss of rental with respect to any new lease in
which the rental payable thereunder exceeds the Rent collected by Landlord
pursuant to this Lease during Tenant’s hold-over and any claims by any proposed
new tenant founded on Tenant’s failure to surrender the Leased
Property. The provisions of this Article 19 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease. The provisions of this §19.3
shall not apply
58
in the
event of the termination of this Lease upon the exercise by Tenant of the rights
set forth in Article 13.

ARTICLE
21: QUIET ENJOYMENT, SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES
21.1 Quiet
Enjoyment. So long as Tenant performs all of its obligations
under this Lease, Tenant’s possession of the Leased Property will not be
disturbed by Landlord or any party claiming by, through or under
Landlord.
21.2 Subordination. Subject
to the terms and conditions of this section, this Lease and Tenant’s rights
under this Lease are subordinate to any ground lease or underlying lease, first
mortgage, first deed of trust, or other first lien against the Leased Property,
together with any renewal, consolidation, extension, modification or replacement
thereof, which now or at any subsequent time affects the Leased Property or any
interest of Landlord in the Leased Property, except to the extent that any such
instrument expressly provides that this Lease is superior. The
foregoing subordination provision is expressly conditioned upon any lessor or
mortgagee being obligated and bound to recognize Tenant as the tenant under this
Lease, and such lessor or mortgagee shall have no right to disturb Tenant’s
possession, use and occupancy of the Leased Property or Tenant’s enjoyment of
its rights under this Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs
hereunder. Any foreclosure action or proceeding by any mortgagee with
respect to the Leased Property shall not affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease
and shall not terminate this Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs
hereunder. The foregoing provisions will be self-operative, and no
further instrument will be required in order to effect them. However,
Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at any time and from
time to time upon demand by Landlord, such documents as may be requested by
Landlord or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other instrument
described in this section, to confirm or effect any such subordination, provided
that any such document shall include a nondisturbance provision as set forth in
this section satisfactory to Tenant. Any mortgagee of the Leased
Property shall be deemed to be bound by the nondisturbance provision set forth
in this section. If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge,
and deliver any such document within 20 days after written demand, Landlord
may execute acknowledge and deliver any such document on behalf of Tenant as
Tenant’s attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably
appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to
execute, acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any documents described in
this section. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and
is irrevocable.
21.3 Attornment. If
any holder of any mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, or other similar
instrument described in §21.2 succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Leased
Property, Tenant will pay to such holder all Rent subsequently payable under
this Lease. Tenant shall, upon request of anyone succeeding to the
interest of Landlord, automatically become the tenant of, and attorn to, such
successor in interest without changing this Lease. The successor in
interest will not be bound by [i] any payment of Rent for more than one
month in advance unless actually received by such successor; [ii] any
amendment or modification of this Lease thereafter made without its consent as
provided in this Lease; [iii] any claim against Landlord arising
prior
59
to the
date on which the successor succeeded to Landlord’s interest; or [iv] any
claim or offset of Rent against Landlord. Upon request by Landlord or
such successor in interest and without cost to Landlord or such successor in
interest, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument or
instruments confirming the attornment. If Tenant fails or refuses to
execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such instrument within 20 days after
written demand, then Landlord or such successor in interest will be entitled to
execute, acknowledge, and deliver any document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s
attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints
Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute,
acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any such document. This
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
21.4 Estoppel
Certificates. At the request of Landlord or any mortgagee or
purchaser of the Leased Property, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver
an estoppel certificate, in recordable form, in favor of Landlord or any
mortgagee or purchaser of the Leased Property certifying the
following: [i] that the Lease is unmodified and in full force
and effect, or if there have been modifications that the same is in full force
and effect as modified and stating the modifications; [ii] the date to
which Rent and other charges have been paid; [iii] whether Tenant or
Landlord is in default or whether there is any fact or condition known to
Landlord or Tenant which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a default, and specifying any existing default, if any;
[iv] that Tenant has accepted and occupies the Leased Property;
[v] that Tenant has no defenses, set-offs, deductions, credits, or
counterclaims against Landlord, if that be the case, or specifying such that
exist; and [vi] such other information as may reasonably be requested by
Landlord or any mortgagee or purchaser. Any purchaser or mortgagee
may rely on this estoppel certificate. If Tenant fails to deliver the
estoppel certificates to Landlord within 10 days after the request of
Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to have certified that [a] the Lease
is in full force and effect and has not been modified, or that the Lease has
been modified as set forth in the certificate delivered to Tenant;
[b] Tenant has not prepaid any Rent or other charges except for the current
month; [c] Tenant has accepted and occupies the Leased Property;
[d] neither Tenant nor Landlord is in default nor is there any fact or
condition which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
default; and [e] Tenant has no defenses, set-offs, deductions, credits, or
counterclaims against Landlord. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints
Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on
Tenant’s behalf any estoppel certificate to which Tenant does not object within
10 days after Landlord sends the certificate to Tenant. This
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Obligations:

right, title and interest of Tenant thereunder, including, without limitation,
those certain Subleases dated as of the Effective Date, by and between Tenant,
as Sublandlord, and each Subtenant, as Subtenant; and including, without
limitation, Tenant’s right, if any, to cash or securities deposited thereunder
whether or not the same was deposited to secure performance by the subtenants,

24.2 Additional
Documents. At the request of Landlord, Tenant and each
Subtenant shall execute additional security agreements, financing statements,
and such other documents as may be requested by Landlord to maintain and perfect
such security interest. Tenant and each Subtenant hereby irrevocably
appoint Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Tenant’s or Subtenant’s

behalf of Tenant or such Subtenant. This power of attorney is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable.

designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any
private sale or other intended disposition of such Collateral is to be made,
shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Tenant and each Subtenant
waive any other notice with respect thereto.
24.4 Recharacterization. Landlord
and Tenant intend this Lease to be a true lease. However, if despite
the parties’ intent, it is determined or adjudged by a court for any reason that
this Lease is not a true lease or if this Lease is recharacterized as a
financing arrangement, then this Lease shall be considered a secured financing
agreement and Landlord’s title to the Leased Property shall constitute a
perfected first priority lien in Landlord’s favor on the Leased Property to
secure the payment and performance of all the Obligor Group
Obligations.
ARTICLE
25: MISCELLANEOUS
25.1 Notices. Landlord,
Tenant and Subtenant hereby agree that all notices, demands, requests, and
consents (hereinafter “notices”) required to be given pursuant to the terms of
this Lease shall be in writing, shall be addressed to the addresses set forth in
the introductory paragraph of this Lease, and shall be served by
[i] personal delivery; [ii] certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid; or [iii] nationally recognized overnight
courier. Notices to any Subtenant should be sent c/o Tenant at
Tenant’s address set forth in the introductory paragraph. All notices
shall be deemed to be given upon the earlier of actual receipt or three Business
Days after mailing, or one Business Day after deposit with the overnight
courier. Any notices meeting the requirements of this section shall
be effective, regardless of whether or not actually
received. Landlord or Tenant may change its notice address at any
time by giving the other party notice of such change.
25.2 Advertisement of Leased
Property. In the event the Tenant fails to exercise its option
to renew within the time period set forth in §12.1, then Landlord or its agent
shall have the right to enter the Leased Property at all reasonable times for
the purpose of exhibiting the Leased Property to others and to place upon the
Leased Property for and during the period commencing 120 days prior to the
expiration of this Lease, “for sale” or “for rent” notices or
signs.
66
25.3 Entire
Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement between
Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. No
representations, warranties, and agreements have been made by Landlord except as
set forth in this Lease. No oral agreements or understandings between
Landlord and Tenant shall survive execution of this Lease.
25.4 Severability. If
any term or provision of this Lease is held or deemed by Landlord to be invalid
or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the remainder of this Lease and
the same shall remain in full force and effect, unless such holding
substantially deprives Tenant of the use of the Leased Property or Landlord of
the rents herein reserved, in which event this Lease shall forthwith terminate
as if by expiration of the Term.
25.5 Captions and
Headings. The captions and headings are inserted only as a
matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe
the scope of this Lease or the intent of any provision hereof.
25.6 Governing
Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, except as to matters under which
the laws of a State in which a respective Facility is located, or under
applicable procedural conflicts of laws rules, require the application of laws
of such other State, in which case the laws or conflicts of laws rules, as the
case may be, of such State shall govern to the extent required.
25.7 Memorandum of
Lease. Tenant shall not record this Lease. Tenant
shall, however, record a memorandum of lease approved by Landlord upon
Landlord’s request.
25.8 Waiver. No
waiver by Landlord 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,
nor shall the acceptance of Rent by Landlord at any time when Tenant or
Subtenant is in default in the performance or observance of any condition or
covenant herein be construed as a waiver of such default, or of Landlord’s right
to terminate this Lease or exercise any other remedy granted herein on account
of such existing default.
25.9 Binding
Effect. This Lease will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, successors, personal representatives, and permitted
assigns of Landlord, Tenant and Subtenant.
25.10 No
Offer. Landlord’s submission of this Lease to Tenant is not an
offer to lease the Leased Property, or an agreement by Landlord to reserve the
Leased Property for Tenant. Landlord will not be bound to Tenant
until Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate original leases to
Landlord, and Landlord has duly executed and delivered one of these duplicate
original leases to Tenant.
25.11 Modification. This
Lease may only be modified by a writing signed by both Landlord and
Tenant. All references to this Lease, whether in this Lease or in any
other document or instrument, shall be deemed to incorporate all amendments,
modifications and renewals of this Lease, made after the date
hereof. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any
67
change in
ownership, merger or consolidation of Tenant or Guarantor, any assumption of the
Lease, or any modification of the Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord all
relevant information and documents sufficient to enable Landlord to evaluate the
request. In connection with any such request, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a fee in an amount equal to the lesser of $2,500.00 and Landlord’s
actual reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and other reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Landlord’s evaluation of
Tenant’s request, the preparation of any documents and amendments, the
subsequent amendment of any documents between Landlord and its collateral pool
lenders (if applicable), and all related matters.
25.12 Landlord’s
Modification. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may mortgage
the Leased Property or use the Leased Property as collateral for a
collateralized mortgage obligations or Real Estate Mortgage Investment Companies
(REMICS). If any mortgage lender of Landlord desires any modification
of this Lease, Tenant agrees to consider such modification in good faith and to
execute an amendment of this Lease if Tenant finds such modification
acceptable. Landlord shall not do anything in connection with its
financing of the Leased Property which would limit the rights granted to Tenant
or Subtenant hereunder.
25.13 No
Merger. The surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the
cancellation of this Lease by agreement of Tenant and Landlord or the
termination of this Lease on account of Tenant’s default will not work a merger,
and will, at Landlord’s option, terminate any subleases or operate as an
assignment to Landlord of any subleases. Landlord’s option under this
paragraph will be exercised by notice to Tenant and all known subtenants of the
Leased Property.
25.14 Laches. 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.
25.15 Limitation on Tenant’s
Recourse. Tenant’s sole recourse against Landlord, and any
successor to the interest of Landlord in the Leased Property, is to the interest
of Landlord, and any such successor, in the Leased Property. Tenant
will not have any right to satisfy any judgment which it may have against
Landlord, or any such successor, from any other assets of Landlord, or any such
successor. In this section, the terms “Landlord” and “successor”
include the shareholders, venturers, and partners of “Landlord” and “successor”
and the officers, directors, and employees of the same. The
provisions of this section are not intended to limit Tenant’s right to seek
injunctive relief or specific performance.
25.16 Construction of
Lease. This Lease has been prepared by Landlord and its
professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional
advisors. Landlord, Tenant, and their advisors believe that this
Lease is the product of all their efforts, that it expresses their agreement,
and agree that it shall not be interpreted in favor of either Landlord or Tenant
or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in
preparing it.
25.17 Counterparts. This
Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original hereof.
68
25.18 Custody of Escrow
Funds. Any funds paid to Landlord in escrow hereunder may be
held by Landlord or, at Landlord’s election, by a financial institution, the
deposits or accounts of which are insured or guaranteed by a federal or state
agency. The funds shall not be deemed to be held in trust, may be
commingled with the general funds of Landlord or such other institution, and
shall not bear interest.
25.19 Landlord’s Status as a
REIT. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord (or a Landlord
Affiliate) has elected and may hereafter elect to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code.

SUBTENANT WILL NOT INTERPOSE, AND WAIVES THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE, ANY
COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.
25.22 CONSENT TO
JURISDICTION. TENANT AND SUBTENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT
AND CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL

LEASE. TENANT AND SUBTENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT TENANT AND SUBTENANT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. TENANT AND SUBTENANT AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY
SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY
LAW.
TENANT AND SUBTENANT AGREE NOT TO
INSTITUTE ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY DIRECTOR,
OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR PROPERTY OF LANDLORD, CONCERNING ANY MATTER ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE COMMITMENT, THIS LEASE OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT IN ANY
COURT OTHER THAN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER XXXXX COUNTY,
OHIO UNLESS SUCH COURT LACKS IN PERSONAM OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION IN WHICH
CASE
69
TENANT
AND SUBTENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSTITUTE SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BEFORE
ANY COURT HAVING SUCH JURISDICTION.
TENANT AND SUBTENANT HEREBY CONSENT TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS BY LANDLORD IN ANY MANNER AND IN ANY JURISDICTION PERMITTED
BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT OR IMPAIR LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO
SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO BRING
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST TENANT, SUBTENANT OR THE PROPERTY OF TENANT OR
SUBTENANT IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
25.23 Attorney’s Fees and
Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in administering this Lease and the security
for this Lease, enforcing or preserving Landlord’s rights under this Lease and
the security for this Lease, and in all matters of collection, whether or not an
Event of Default has actually occurred or has been declared and thereafter
cured, including, but not limited to, [a] reasonable attorney’s and
paralegal’s fees and disbursements; [b] the fees and expenses of any
litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership and any other
