34
|
the Indemnifying Party is not diligently prosecuting the defense of such Third Party Claim, (B) such Third Party Claim involves remedies other than monetary damages and such remedies, in the Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment, could have a Material Adverse Effect on such Indemnified Party, (C) the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more defenses or counterclaims that may be alleged by the Indemnifying Party, or (D) the Indemnified Party believes in its reasonable discretion that a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third‑Party Claim or action, and in any such event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its agents all records and other materials in the Indemnified Party's possession reasonably required by it for its use in contesting any Third‑Party Claim or demand. |

2. Waiver of Defenses. Guarantor agrees that the obligations, covenants and agreements of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired by any act of Owner, or any event or condition except full performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor agrees that, without full performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged, and Guarantor waives any defense based on (a) lack of authority or bankruptcy or insolvency of the Owner, Developer, Master Lessee or any other person or entity; (b) any failure of Owner to commence action against the Developer or any other person or entity, or to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy, or any other proceeding) of Developer or any other person or entity; (c) any election of remedies by the Owner or any other person or entity which destroys or otherwise impairs any subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Developer, Owner or any other person or entity for reimbursement; (d) any failure on the part of the Owner to ascertain the extent or nature of the liability of any person or entity liable for the obligations of Developer under the PFDA, or any failure on the part of Owner or any other person or entity to disclose to Guarantor any material facts affecting the obligations of Developer under the PFDA; (e) any lack of acceptance or notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Owner; (f) any lack of presentment, demand, protest, or notice of demand, protest, nonpayment or nonperformance with respect to the obligations of Developer under the PFDA; (g) any lack of due diligence by Owner in obtaining reimbursement from any person or entity now or hereafter liable for the obligations of Developer under the PFDA; (h) any deficiency in the ability of Owner to collect from any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the obligations of Developer under the PFDA; (i) the renewal or extension of time for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether made with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor; G) any transfer, waiver, compromise, settlement, surrender or release of the provisions of the PFDA (provided that the PFDA shall not be modified or amended and no Change Order will be approved by Owner without the prior written consent of Guarantor); (k) the existence of any defenses to enforcement of the provisions of the PFDA other than mandatory counter-claims; (1) the existence of any set-off, claim, reduction or diminution of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any defense of any kind or nature, which Guarantor may have against Developer, Owner or any other person or entity or which any party has against Owner; (m) the addition of any and all other indorsers, guarantors, obligors and other persons liable for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and the acceptance of any and all other security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; all whether or not Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge or any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (m) of this Paragraph.

If any of the Guaranteed Obligations are partially paid or partially performed, for whatever reason, this Guaranty shall remain in full effect, and Guarantor shall remain liable for the entire remaining unpaid or unperformed Guaranteed Obligations. |
4. Waiver of Exemptions. Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to the benefits of any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, and exemption now or hereafter provided by any applicable law. |
5. Enforcement Costs.

6. Modification of Guaranty. This Guaranty may not be changed orally and no obligation of Guarantor can be released or waived by Owner except by a writing signed by the Owner. This Guaranty shall be irrevocable by Guarantor until all Guaranteed Obligations have been completely satisfied. This Guaranty shall be reinstated if any payment received Owner from Guarantor is returned or rescinded due to any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors or for any other reason. |
7. Subrogation. Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder have been satisfied and discharged in full, (a) Guarantor shall not exercise its right of subrogation and (b) Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which it now has or may hereafter have against Lessee, any other guarantor or any other party to any of the Transaction Documents, or any other documents entered into in connection therewith, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or other assets now or hereafter held by Owner with respect to the Master Lease, the other Transaction Documents or any other document or instrument entered into in connection therewith. |
8. Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Guaranty shall bind and inure to the benefit of Owner and its successors and assigns, and Owner's successors and permitted assigns
4
|
shall be entitled to enforce performance and observance of this Guaranty to the same extent Owner is entitled to do so; provided, however, that (a) this Guaranty shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee pursuant to an assignment which violates the terms of this Guaranty; and (b) this Guaranty shall not be deemed to confer any rights or remedies contained in this Guaranty upon any Person not a party or made subject to this Guaranty (other than Owner). |
9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Guaranty and the obligations ansmg hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such State, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claim to assert that the law of any other jurisdiction governs this Guaranty. Any legal suit, action or proceeding against Guarantor or Owner arising out of or relating to this Guaranty shall be instituted in any federal or state court in the State of Alabama, and Guarantor waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding and hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any suit, action or proceeding. |

MASTER LEASE Agreement
THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (this "Lease") is dated as of ______________, 2014, and is by and among the entities listed on Schedule 1(a) attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference and incorporation (collectively, the "Lessor"), having their principal office at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and the entities listed on Schedule 1(b) attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference and incorporation (collectively, jointly and severally, the "Lessee"), having their principal office at 0000 X. Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000.
STATEMENT OF INTENT
Subject to Articles V, XIV, XV, XXIX, XXXIII and Section 16.1, this Lease constitutes one unitary, indivisible, non‑severable true lease of all the Leased Property. This Lease does not constitute separate leases contained in one document each governed by similar terms. The use of the expression "unitary lease" to describe this Lease is not merely for convenient reference. It is the conscious choice of a substantive appellation to express the intent of Lessor and Lessee in regard to an integral part of this transaction, which is to accomplish the creation of an indivisible lease. Lessor and Lessee agree that from an economic point of view the portions of the Leased Property leased pursuant to this Lease constitute one economic unit and that the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to be based upon a lease of all the portions of the Leased Property as a single, composite, inseparable transaction. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), all provisions of this Lease, including definitions, commencement and expiration dates, rental provisions, use provisions, renewal provisions, breach, default, enforcement, termination and assignment and subletting provisions, shall apply equally and uniformly to all the Leased Property as one unit and are not severable. The economic terms of this Lease would have been substantially different had separate leases or a "divisible" lease been acceptable to Lessor. An Event of Default of any of the terms or conditions of this Lease occurring with respect to any portion of the Leased Property relating to a particular Facility shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease with respect to all the Leased Property. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), Lessor and Lessee agree that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied such that the intention of Lessor and Lessee to create a unitary lease shall be preserved and maintained. Lessor and Lessee agree that for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365 or any amendment or successor section thereof, this is one indivisible and non‑severable lease dealing with and covering one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Leased Property.

(g) With respect to each Facility, Lessor shall have the right and option to erect a plaque in the vicinity of the front desk located inside such Facility stating that such Leased Property is owned by Lessor.

(d) Unless Lessor conveys the Leased Property to Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Lessee will, upon the expiration or prior termination of the Term, vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in the condition in which the Leased Property was originally received from Lessor, except as improved, constructed, repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease and except for (i) ordinary wear and tear, (ii) damage caused by the gross negligence or willful acts of Lessor, and (iii) damage or destruction as described in Article XIV or resulting from a Taking as described in Article XV, which Lessee is not required by the terms of this Lease to repair or restore. |

(a) With respect to each Facility (and, as applicable, following the Completion Date in accordance with the applicable Project Development Agreement), and provided that no Event of Default has occurred, and no event then exists which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, Lessee shall have the right, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to construct or install Capital Additions on such portion of the Leased Property with the prior written consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lessee shall not be permitted to create any Lien on such portion of the Leased Property in connection with such Capital Addition, except as provided in Section 10.2. Prior to commencing construction of any such Capital Addition, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, (i) submit to Lessor in writing for Lessor's prior approval a proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any such proposed Capital Addition, (ii) submit to Lessor for Lessor's prior approval or consent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) such plans and specifications, certificates of need, and other approvals, permits, licenses, contracts in excess of $50,000 for the proposed Capital Addition and such other information available to Lessee concerning such proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably request, and (iii) obtain all necessary certificates of need, permits, licenses, state licensure surveys, and all regulatory approvals of architectural plans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall indicate the approximate projected cost of constructing such Capital Addition, together with the use or uses to which it will be put. |
34
(b) Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition, Lessee shall first request Lessor to provide funds to pay for such Capital Addition in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3. If Lessor declines or is unable to provide such funding or the parties are unable to agree on the terms thereof, the provisions of Section 10.2 shall apply. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, no Capital Additions shall be made without the consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld in Lessor's sole discretion, if the Capital Addition would tie in or connect any portion of the Leased Property and/or any Leased Improvements on such portion of the Leased Property with any other improvements on property adjacent to such portion of the Leased Property (and not part of the Land covered by this Lease), including, without limitation, tie‑ins of buildings or other structures or utilities.

In connection with any such Capital Addition financed by Lessee, Lessee shall be permitted to place an Encumbrance on such Capital Addition as collateral for Lessee's financing; provided, that, in the reasonable determination of Lessor such Encumbrance shall not interfere with Lessor's ability to finance any portion of the Leased Property; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate in good faith to properly divide such Capital Addition from the applicable portion of the Leased Property and to grant such easements and use restrictions as shall be necessary to avoid any disruption of Lessee's Business on such portion of the Leased Property; (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 10.2, such Capital Addition shall remain subject to the other terms and provisions of this Lease; and (ii) upon the expiration or termination of this Lease (unless Lessee purchases such portion of the Leased Property as provided in Articles XIV, XV or XXXIII), Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause all such Encumbrances to be released from such Capital Addition and within ten (10) Business Days after such expiration or termination.
received from Lessor. In the event Lessor declines or is deemed to have declined to fund a proposed Capital Addition or the parties are unable to agree on the terms of any proposed funding within thirty (30) days after Lessor's receipt of a Request, Lessee shall have the right to finance such Capital Addition in any manner it deems appropriate, subject to Section 10.2. |
Subject to the provisions of Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain and will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon any portion of the Leased Property or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, or any funds or amounts that are or will be provided by Lessor or its Affiliates to Lessee at any time during the Term in accordance with this Lease; excluding, however, (a) this Lease, (b) the Permitted Exceptions, (c) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Lessor, or any easements granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.3, (d) liens for those taxes of Lessor which Lessee is not required to pay hereunder, (e) Encumbrances which are permitted in accordance with Section 10.2, and (g) any liens which are the responsibility of Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Article XXXIV of this Lease. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, Lessee shall not mortgage or grant any interest or security interest in, or otherwise collaterally assign, any part of Lessee's rights and interests in this Lease, any portion of the Leased Property or Lessee's Personal Property during the Term, except as provided in the Security Agreement or as otherwise permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement.
comply therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings; and (d) in the event that any such contest shall involve a sum of money or potential loss in excess of the Allocated Lease Base relating to the particular Facility, Lessee shall give such reasonable security as may be demanded by Lessor to insure ultimate payment of the same. |
(a) During the Term, Lessee shall at all times keep the Leased Property and Lessee's Personal Property insured against loss or damage from such causes as are customarily insured against, by prudent owners of similar facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee shall obtain and maintain in effect throughout the Term the kinds and amounts of insurance as described below (provided that, with respect to each Facility, the coverages required under subsections (a)(iii), (a)(iv), (a)(vii) and (a)(viii) below and for all other coverages under this subsection (a) that are obtained under and in accordance with the applicable Project Development Agreement, such coverages shall be required from and after the applicable Completion Date). This insurance shall be written by insurance companies (i) acceptable to Lessor, (ii) that are rated at least an "A‑VIII" or better by Best's Insurance Guide, and (iii) unless otherwise approved by Lessor, authorized, licensed and qualified to do insurance business in the state in which the Leased Property is located. Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all Insurance Premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to this Article XIII during the Term. The commercial property, rental value and business interruption policies shall name Lessor (and any other entity that Lessor may deem necessary) as additional insureds and loss payees as respects coverage afforded the Leased Property under standard Insurance Services Offices (ISO) commercial property insurance endorsements CP1219 and CP1503, or manuscript equivalents, and as additional insureds and loss payees under boiler and machinery and any other property insurance policy. All casualty insurance policies shall name Lessor (and any other entity that Lessor may deem necessary) as additional insureds. All property, business interruption and boiler and machinery losses shall be payable to Lessor and/or Lessee as provided in Article XIV. Each insurance policy required hereunder must, unless otherwise expressly provided herein (i) provide primary insurance without right of contribution from any other insurance carried by Lessor, (ii) contain express permission for Lessee to enter into a waiver of subrogation rights in favor of Lessor, or any right of setoff or counterclaim against any insured party thereunder including Lessor, (iii) permit Lessor to pay premiums at Lessor's discretion, and (iv) as respects any third party liability claim brought against Lessor, obligate the insurer to defend Lessor as named insured thereunder. In addition, the property, business interruption and boiler and machinery policies shall name as an additional insured all Facility Lenders, if any, by way of a standard or other acceptable form of mortgagee's loss payable endorsement. Any loss adjustment shall require the written consent of Lessor and each affected Facility Lender. Evidence or verification (as defined in Section 13.4 below) of insurance and/or Impositions shall be deposited with Lessor
37
|
and, if requested, with any Facility Lender. If Insurance Premiums are required to be deposited or escrowed in accordance with Section 3.2, then Lessee shall pay or deposit the amount of such Insurance Premiums in accordance with Section 3.2. With respect to each Facility, the policies required hereunder relating to Lessee, the portion of the Leased Property relating to each Facility, including the Leased Improvements and Lessee's Personal Property relating to such Facility, shall insure against the following risks: |
(i) Commercial Property insurance written on a broad "all risk" or "special perils" policy form covering physical loss or damage to such portion of the Leased Property including building and improvements and betterments. Unless otherwise provided such coverage shall be in an amount equal to the full replacement cost (as herein defined) value basis to the extent of the full insurable replacement value of such portion of the Leased Property. Unless otherwise provided hereunder, all policy deductibles shall be borne in full by Lessee and must not exceed, per occurrence, an amount in excess of Three Percent (3%), of the insurable value of such portion of the Leased Property. Lessee further agrees that it will notify Lessor of any loss in the amount equal to One‑Half of One Percent (0.5%) of the Allocated Lease Base relating to such Facility or greater and that no claim at or in excess of such amount shall be settled without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |
(ii) Flood and earthquake insurance shall be required at a minimum amount equal to Twenty Percent (20%) of the Full Replacement Cost. The deductible for any such insurance shall not exceed Three Percent (3%) of the insured values. |
(iii) Rental Value insurance using standard ISO endorsement CP 1503, or its equivalent, as respects rental value coverage on such portion of the Leased Property. Such endorsement shall require property insurer to send notice of cancellation or non‑renewal to Lessor per Section 13.4. |
(iv) Business interruption insurance covering lost earnings and continuing expenses, less rents due Lessor to the extent covered under subparagraph (iii), in an amount sufficient to cover not less than the aggregate amount of Lessee's earnings during (A) the actual time required to rebuild such portion of the Leased Property following loss or damage, or (B) twelve (12) months, whichever is longer, plus an additional extended period of indemnity of not less than ninety (90) days shall be provided. Coverage shall be written on an "actual loss sustained" form, for the same perils and other events as described in subparagraph (v) below. |
(v) Commercial General Liability in a primary amount of at least One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, bodily injury for injury or death of any one person and for Property Damage for damage to or loss of the property of others, subject to a Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) annual aggregate policy limit applicable separately to such portion of the Leased Property for all bodily injury and property damage claims, occurring on or about such Leased Property or in any way related to such portion of
38
|
the Leased Property, including but not limited to, any swimming pools or other rehabilitation and recreational facilities or areas that are located on such portion of the Leased Property otherwise related to such portion of the Leased Property. All allocated loss adjustment expenses, including defense costs, shall be in addition to the policy limits required above. Such policy shall include coverages found on the ISO Commercial General Liability Policy form CG 0001, occurrence policy form, current edition, with deductible amounts reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for funding all deductibles and retentions, including those which may be applicable to Lessor as an additional insured thereunder. |
(vi) Umbrella liability insurance in the minimum amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for each occurrence and aggregate combined single limit for all liability. The umbrella shall follow form with the primary commercial general liability with respect to providing primary and non‑contributory coverage to Lessor as an additional insured when required by written contract or agreement. The umbrella liability policy shall name in its underlying schedule the policies of commercial general liability, professional liability and employer's liability under the workers compensation policy. |
(vii) Professional liability insurance for Lessee and all employed professionals (including any physicians) of Lessee in an amount not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per individual claim and Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) annual aggregate. All medical professionals (including physicians) who perform professional services at such Facility shall meet the required minimum insurance requirements of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per individual claim and Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) annual aggregate. |
(viii) Worker's Compensation and Employers Liability insurance covering all of Lessee's employees in amounts that are customary for Lessee's industry. Any Worker's Compensation or Employers Liability insurance that is customary for Lessee's industry should provide coverage for any subcontractors, including physicians, who use the Facility but are not deemed "employees" of Lessee. If such coverage is not available, then Lessee must ensure that the subcontractor has adequate Worker's Compensation and/or Liability insurance coverage. |
The term "Full Replacement Cost" as used herein, shall mean the actual replacement cost thereof from time to time. In the event either Lessor or Lessee believes that the Full Replacement Cost has increased or decreased at any time during the Term, it shall have the right to have such Full Replacement Cost re‑determined by an impartial third party, hereinafter referred to as the "Impartial Appraiser." If the Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the selection of an Impartial Appraiser, each party shall select one appraiser, and the two appraisers so selected shall jointly select the Impartial Appraiser. The party desiring to have the Full Replacement Cost so re‑determined shall forthwith, on receipt of such determination by such Impartial Appraiser, give written notice thereof to the other party. The determination of such Impartial Appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties, and Lessee shall forthwith increase, or may decrease, the amount of the insurance carried pursuant to this
39
Section 13.1, as the case may be, to the amount so determined by the Impartial Appraiser. Lessee shall pay the fee, if any, of the Impartial Appraiser.
(b) At Lessor's option, and provided that the costs of such coverages collectively do not exceed the costs of such insurance to be obtained by Lessee, Lessor may obtain the property and casualty insurance coverages as required herein in its own name and, in such event, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the costs of such coverages, including any required deductibles or retention payments, immediately upon request by Lessor. |
(a) No later than the date that is forty‑five (45) days after the applicable Acquisition Date and any such insurance policy expiration date, true and certified copies of the required insurance policies. |
40
(b) In the event Lessee does not provide timely or proper verification, or does not maintain the insurance required hereunder or pay the premiums as required hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to obtain such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which premiums shall be repayable to Lessor as provided in this Lease, and failure to adhere to those repayment provisions shall constitute an Event of Default within the meaning of Section 16.1(a). |
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that any insurance policies, endorsements and/or binders or certificates that provide that the insurer will "endeavor to" give notice before same may be altered, allowed to expire, or canceled will not be acceptable to Lessor, and Lessee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such language to be deleted from such any insurance policies, endorsements and/or binders or certificates. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all policies of insurance required to be obtained by Lessee hereunder shall (but only to the extent commercially available) provide (i) that such policies will not lapse, terminate, be canceled, or be amended or modified to reduce limits or coverage terms unless and until Lessor has received not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice at Lessor's notice address as specified in this Lease (the "Lessor's Notice Address"), with a simultaneous copy to (A) MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., Attention: President, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (B) XxXxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, Inc., Attention: Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, 0000 0xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (ii) that in the event of cancellation due to non‑payment of premium, the insurer will provide not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lessor at Lessor's Notice Address, with a simultaneous copy to (A) MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., Attention: President, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (B) XxXxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, Inc., Attention: Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, 0000 0xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000.
of the taking out of any such separate insurance or of the increasing of any of the amounts of the then existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies. |
(a) With respect to any Facility, if during the Term the portion of the Leased Property relating thereto is totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article XIII and such portion of the Leased Property is thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use (the "Impacted Facility"), Lessee shall elect, by giving written notice to Lessor within sixty (60) days following the date of such destruction, one of the following: (i) to restore such portion of the Leased Property relating to such Impacted Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction, or (ii) so long as no Event of Default then exists and no event then exists which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, and subject to Section 36.2, to purchase such portion of the Leased Property from Lessor for the Option Price, in which case all insurance proceeds payable pursuant to Section 14.1 shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee. The "Option Price" shall be equal to the greater of (1) the Fair Market Value Purchase Price of such portion of the Leased Property and (2) the sum of the Allocated Lease Base for such Impacted Facility and the actual costs of any Capital Additions funded by Lessor with respect thereto. In the event Lessee purchases such portion of the Leased Property pursuant to this Section 14.2(a), the terms set forth in Article XVIII shall apply and the sale/purchase must be closed within sixty (60) days after the date of the written notice from Lessee to Lessor of Lessee's intent to purchase, unless a different closing date is agreed upon in writing by Lessor and Lessee. For purposes of any appraisal conducted in accordance with this Section, such appraisal shall not take into account the damage or destruction giving rise to Lessee's rights hereunder. |
42
(b) With respect to any Facility, if, during the Term, the portion of the Leased Property relating thereto is totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article XIII, but such portion of the Leased Property is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall restore such portion of the Leased Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction. Such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease with respect to such portion of the Leased Property. |
(c) With respect to each Facility, if the cost of the repair or restoration of the portion of the Leased Property relating thereto exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Lessor from the insurance required under Article XIII, Lessee shall be obligated to contribute any excess amount needed to restore the portion of the Leased Property relating to such Facility prior to use of the insurance proceeds. Such amount shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor (or a Facility Lender if required) to be held in trust together with any other insurance proceeds for application to the cost of repair and restoration. |
(d) With respect to each Facility, in the event Lessee elects to purchase the portion of the Leased Property relating to such Facility as provided in this Section 14.2, and, so long as no Event of Default then exists and no event then exists which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, this Lease shall terminate with respect to such portion of the Leased Property upon payment of the purchase price the Base Rent shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2, and Lessor shall transfer to Lessee its rights in or remit to Lessee all insurance proceeds being held in trust by Lessor or the Facility Lender on or prior to the closing of Lessee's purchase of such portion of the Leased Property. |
all Capital Additions paid for by Lessee with respect thereto, in each case, to substantially the same condition existing before such casualty. |
44
16.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (individually, an "Event of Default") shall constitute Events of Default hereunder: |
(a) Lessee shall fail to make a payment of the Rent or any other monetary obligation when the same becomes due and payable by Lessee under this Lease (including, but not limited to, any failure to pay Insurance Premiums or Impositions), and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after delivery of written notice thereof from Lessor; or |
(b) Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and such failure is not cured by Lessee within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor, unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days (in Lessor's reasonable discretion), in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue so long as Lessee commences to cure such failure within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds with due diligence to complete the curing thereof within sixty (60) days after receipt by Lessee of Lessor's notice of default (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall any cure period exceed sixty (60) days); provided, however, in no event shall Lessor be required to give more than one (1) notice and cure period for Lessee's failure to observe or perform the same (or repetitive) covenant or condition in any consecutive twelve (12) month period; or |
(c) (i) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or (ii) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall file a petition in bankruptcy as a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act; or (iii) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall be declared insolvent according to any law; or (iv) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall make any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) the estate or interest of any Facility Lessee in the Leased Property or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or discharged

(d) a Change of Control Transaction (other than a Permitted Sale Transaction) shall occur which is not approved by Lessor in writing in advance; or |
(e) Lessee abandons or vacates any portion of the Leased Property relating to a Facility (Lessee's absence from such portion of the Leased Property for sixty (60) consecutive days shall constitute abandonment), or Lessee fails to continuously operate such Leased Property for sixty (60) consecutive days in accordance with the terms of this Lease (other than if such failure to continuously operate is due to casualty or other events of force majeure); or |
(f) any Facility Lessee or Guarantor shall be liquidated or dissolved, or shall begin proceedings toward such liquidation or dissolution, or shall, in any manner, permit the sale or divestiture of substantially all of its assets other than in connection with a Permitted Sale Transaction; or |

(j) the Licenses necessary to operate any Facility (other than an Existing ACH Facility) for the Primary Intended Use shall not be obtained by the applicable Operational Date, subject to extension as provided in Section 7.2(a); |
(k) at any time during the Term, EBITDAR of the Combined Lessees shall be less than Two Hundred Percent (200%) of Combined Lease Payments (as determined utilizing the trailing twelve (12) month operating and financial results of the Combined Lessees and measured on a calendar quarterly basis; provided, however, that with respect to any Facility Lessee (other than any Facility Lessee that operates an Existing ACH Facility), in lieu of the trailing twelve (12) month operating and financial results with respect to such Facility Lessee, the determination of the EBITDAR and the applicable portion of Combined Lease Payments will be based on the actual EBITDAR of such Facility Lessee and the portion of the Combined Lease Payments payable by such Facility Lessee during each of the first twelve (12) calendar months commencing in the first calendar month after such Facility Lessee has been open for business for six (6) months; |
(l) at any time during the Term: |
(i) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Adeptus and its subsidiaries shall be less than Two Hundred Percent (200%) (as determined utilizing the trailing twelve (12) month operating and financial results of Adeptus and its subsidiaries and measured on a calendar quarterly basis); or |

47
|
Facility is then in effect, the per diem Construction Period Accrual for such Facility allocable to the portion of the Construction Period that occurs during such Noncompliance Period shall be calculated on the basis of the Lease Rate, plus .25% (based upon a 360-day year); or |
(m)if any ACH Facility Lessee shall have any of its Licenses (as defined in Article XXXVII) or participation or certification in Medicare or Medicaid or any other material Third-Party Program terminated by the applicable government program for fraud or violation of the terms of such program and such termination is not revoked within sixty (60) days after such termination becomes effective (provided, however, that any ACH Facility Lessee shall have the right to withdraw from or terminate its participation or certification in any Third-Party Programs as provided in Sections 37.1); or
(n)an "Event of Default" under and as defined in the Initial Master Lease shall occur;
(o)Lessor shall receive a FSFC Special Enforcement Notice (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) from FSFC.
If an Event of Default has occurred, Lessor shall have the right at its election, then or at any time thereafter, to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, in addition to any remedies which may be permitted by law, by other provisions of this Lease or otherwise, without notice or demand, except as hereinafter provided:
A. If Lessee deserts, abandons, or vacates any portion of the Leased Property, Lessor may enter upon and take possession of the portion of the Leased Property relating to any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Facilities, regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated from or related primarily to a single Facility, to protect it or them from deterioration and continue to demand from Lessee Rent and other charges as provided in this Lease, without any obligation to relet (except to the extent required by applicable law); but if Lessor does relet such portion or portions of the Leased Property (on such terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall deem reasonable), such action by Lessor shall not be deemed an acceptance of Lessee's surrender of the Leased Property relating to such Facilities unless Lessor expressly notifies Lessee of such acceptance in writing, Lessee hereby acknowledging that Lessor shall otherwise be reletting as Lessee's agent and Lessee furthermore hereby agreeing to pay to Lessor on demand any deficiency that may arise between the Rent and other charges as provided in this Lease and that which is actually collected by Lessor for such relet portion of the Leased Property. |
X. Xxxxxx may immediately terminate Lessee's right of possession of the portion or portions of the Leased Property relating to any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Facilities (whether one or more, the "Terminated Possession Facility"), but not terminate this Lease with respect to such portion or portions of the Leased Property, and without notice or demand, except as may be required by applicable law, enter upon such portion or portions of the Leased Property or any part thereof and take absolute possession of the same, and at Lessor's sole option may relet such portion or portions of the Leased Property or any part thereof for such terms and such
48
|
rents as Lessor may reasonably elect. In the event of such reletting, the rent received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied to Lessee's obligations in the order which Lessor may reasonably determine, and Lessee shall satisfy and pay any deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time. Any entry into and possession of any portion of the Leased Property by Lessor shall be without liability or responsibility to Lessee and shall not be in lieu of or in substitution for any other legal rights of Lessor hereunder. Lessee further agrees that Lessor may file suit to recover any sums due under the terms of this Lease and that no recovery of any portion due Lessor hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought by Lessor for any other amounts not reduced to judgment in favor of Lessor. Reletting the portion of the Leased Property relating to any one or more of such Terminated Possession Facilities shall not be construed as an election on the part of Lessor to terminate this Lease with respect to such Leased Property and, notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for default with respect to the Leased Property of any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Facilities. |
X. Xxxxxx may terminate this Lease with respect to any portion or portions of the Leased Property of any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Facilities (whether one or more, the "Terminated Facility"), regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated from or related primarily to a single Facility, by written notice to Lessee, in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender to Lessor the portion of the Leased Property relating to each such Terminated Facility, and if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession or arrearages in Rent or any other payments under this Lease (including any interest and payment penalty which may have accrued pursuant to the terms of this Lease), enter upon and take possession of such portion of the Leased Property relating to such Terminated Facility and expel or remove the applicable Facility Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying such portion of the Leased Property, by force, if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor. |
D. In the event that Lessor has either repossessed a portion of the Leased Property pursuant to subsections A or B above, or terminated this Lease with respect to one or more (or all, if so elected by Lessor) of such Facilities pursuant subsection C, and Lessor elects to enter upon such portion of the Leased Property as provided herein, Lessor may change, alter, and/or modify the door locks on all entry doors of such portion of the Leased Property, thereby permanently excluding Lessee and its officers, principals, agents, employees, representatives and invitees therefrom. |
E. In addition to any other available remedies, at Lessor's option, with respect to each Facility, Lessor shall have those rights (i) to purchase Lessee's Personal Property in the manner provided in Section 33.2, and (ii) to effect a transfer or reissuance of the Licenses pursuant to the terms of Article XXXVI. |
F. Without limiting any rights or remedies available to Lessor, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that if Lessor receives a FSFC Special Enforcement Notice from FSFC in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, Lessor shall have the right and option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease or Lessee's right to possession of the Leased Property as provided under
49
|
subsections B and C above. Lessee's acknowledgement and agreement in this subsection F is a material inducement to Lessor entering into the Intercreditor Agreement and without such acknowledgement Lessor would not be willing to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement with FSFC. |
G. If this Lease is assigned with respect to any portion of the Leased Property, or if any portion of the Leased Property is relet, Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lessor as Lessee's agent to collect the rents and all other sums due by such assignee or Tenant and apply the same to the Rent due hereunder without in any way affecting Lessee's obligation to pay any unpaid balance of Rent due hereunder. |
H. Proceed as a secured party under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code against the goods and other personal property relating to the Leased Property, including Lessee's Personal Property located on the Leased Property, in which Lessor has a security interest, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. |
I. Exercise any and all other rights and/or remedies granted or allowed to landlords by any existing or future statute or other law of the State where the applicable portion of the Leased Property is located. |
J. In the event, and only in the event, that applicable law requires Lessor to attempt to mitigate damages following the exercise of Lessor's rights under this Lease, as the case may be, Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to the extent required by applicable law to relet such portion or portions of Leased Property on such terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole good faith judgment, may determine (including, without limitation, a lease term different than the Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair any such portion of the Leased Property; provided, however, that, with respect to any such portion of the Leased Property (i) Lessor shall not be obligated to relet such portion of the Leased Property before leasing other vacant space owned or operated by Lessor, (ii) Lessor reserves the right to refuse to lease such portion of the Leased Property to any potential tenant that does not meet Lessor's reasonable standards and criteria for leasing any other comparable space owned or operated by Lessor, and (iii) Lessor shall not be obligated to undertake any greater efforts to relet such portion of the Leased Property than Lessor utilizes to lease any other vacant space owned or operated by Lessor. In any proceeding in which Lessor's efforts to mitigate damages and/or its compliance with this subsection J is at issue, Lessor shall be presumed to have used reasonable efforts to mitigate damages and Lessee shall bear the burden of proof to establish that such reasonable efforts were not used. Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor in all reletting and mitigation efforts. |
K. To the extent permitted by law and without limiting any of the other legal and equitable remedies available to Lessor hereunder and under law, any loss and damages incurred by Lessor hereunder may be determined, at Lessor's option, by either of the following alternative measures of damages: |
L. Until Lessor is able to relet the portion of the Leased Property relating to any Terminated Facility or Terminated Possession Facility, although Lessor shall be under no obligation
50
|
to attempt to do so (unless expressly required by applicable law), Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on or before the first day of each calendar month, the monthly rentals and other charges relating to such Terminated Facility or Terminated Possession Facility as provided in this Lease. After such portion or portions of the Leased Property have been relet by Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month the difference between the monthly rentals and other charges relating to such Terminated Facility or Terminated Possession Facility as provided in this Lease for the preceding calendar month and those actually collected by Lessor for that month. If it is necessary for Lessor to bring suit to collect any deficiency, Lessor shall have the right to allow such deficiencies to accumulate and to bring an action on several or all of the accrued deficiencies at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in any way the right of Lessor to bring a similar action for any subsequent deficiency or deficiencies. Any amount collected by Lessor from subsequent Tenants for any calendar month, in excess of the monthly rentals and other charges relating to such Terminated Facility or Terminated Possession Facility as provided in this Lease, shall be credited to Lessee in reduction of Lessee's liability for any calendar month for which the amount collected by Lessor will be less than the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this Lease, but Lessee shall have no right to any excess other than the above described credit. |
M. When Lessor desires, Lessor may demand a final settlement with respect to any one or more Terminated Facilities or Terminated Possession Facilities. Upon demand for such final settlement, Lessor shall have a right to, and Lessee hereby agrees to pay an amount equal to the difference between (A) the total of all monthly rentals and other charges relating to such Terminated Facility or Terminated Possession Facility as provided in this Lease for the remainder of the Term and (B) the reasonable rental value for such Terminated Facility or Terminated Possession Facility for such period, with such difference to be discounted to present value at a fixed discount rate equal to eight percent (8%). |
N. If Lessor elects to exercise any of the foregoing remedies with respect to one or more of the Facilities, such election shall in no way prejudice Lessor's right at any time thereafter to cancel said election in favor of any other legal or equitable remedies or elsewhere in this Lease or under law. |
O. No receipt of moneys by Lessor from Lessee after a termination of this Lease with respect to any portion of the Leased Property relating to any one or more of the Facilities or of Lessee's rights under this Lease by Lessor with respect to any such portion of the Leased Property shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease with respect to such portion of the Leased Property or affect any notice theretofore given to Lessee, or operate as a waiver of the right of Lessor to enforce the payment of Rent and any related amounts to be paid by Lessee to Lessor then due or thereafter falling due, it being agreed that after the commencement of suit for possession of such portion of the Leased Property, or after final order or judgment for the possession of such portion of the Leased Property, Lessor may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such suit, order or judgment, all such money collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupation of such portion of the Leased Property or, at the election of Lessor, on account of Lessee's liability hereunder. Lessee
51
|
hereby waives any and all rights of redemption provided by any law, statute or ordinance now in effect or which may hereafter be enacted. |
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or if any Facility Lessee or Guarantor shall fail to make payment or to perform any Material Obligation, including any obligation relating to any receivables or working capital loan or financing provided to Lessee for the purchase or lease of Lessee's Personal Property (collectively the "RFFE Loans") and to cure such failure within the relevant time period provided in the document evidencing such Material Obligation, Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the portion of the Leased Property relating to each Facility for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lessor's opinion, may be necessary or appropriate
52
therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, in each case, to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Lessor, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.
In the event Lessee purchases the Leased Property or any portion of the Leased Property relating to any Facility pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Lessee of the applicable purchase price, together with full payment of any unpaid Rent, including, without limitation, any unpaid Additional Charges and any other amounts owed by Lessee or its Affiliates to Lessor and its Affiliates, due and payable with respect to any period ending on or before the date of the purchase, deliver to Lessee an appropriate special warranty deed or other instrument of conveyance conveying the entire interest of Lessor in and to the Leased Property of such Facility to Lessee in the condition as received from Lessee, free and clear of all encumbrances other than (a) those placed by Lessee on the Leased Property; (b) those that Lessee has agreed or is required hereunder to pay or discharge; (c) those encumbrances placed on the Leased Property in accordance with Sections 7.3 and 38.7, if any; and (d) any matters affecting such portion of the Leased Property on or as of the applicable Acquisition Date. It shall be a condition precedent to Lessee’s obligation to purchase the Leased Property that the applicable Title Company agree to commit to issue a title policy insuring title to the Leased Property subject only to the matters described in clauses (a) through (d) of the preceding sentence (and MPT shall deliver an Owner's Affidavit in customary form to the Title Company as may be necessary for the Title Company, with appropriate qualifications based on Lessee’s sole and absolute control and possession of the Leased Property during the Term) to issue a title policy). All expenses of such conveyance, including, without limitation, the cost of title examination or standard coverage title insurance, survey, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in connection with such conveyance, transfer taxes, prepayment penalties, and any other fees of any Facility Lender with respect to any Facility Instrument, recording fees and similar charges shall be paid by Lessee.
If Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession of the Leased Property after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or after the termination of Lessee's right to possession of the Leased Property hereunder, such possession shall be as a month‑to‑month tenancy, during which time Lessee shall pay, as rental each month, the product of one and one‑half (1.5) times the monthly Base Rent payable with respect to the last complete month prior to such expiration or termination of this Lease, together with all Additional Charges accruing during the month and all other sums, if any, payable by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to the Leased Property. During such period of tenancy, Lessee shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions
53
of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to month‑to‑month tenancies, to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or after the termination of Lessee's right to possession of the Leased Property hereunder.
During the Term, the risk of loss of, or decrease in, the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Leased Property in consequence of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or in consequence of foreclosures, attachments, levies or executions (other than by Lessor and those claiming from, through or under Lessor) is assumed by Lessee and, Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable therefor nor shall any of the events mentioned in this Article XX entitle Lessee to any abatement of Rent except as specifically provided in this Lease.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE EXISTENCE OF ANY INSURANCE OR SELF INSURANCE PROVIDED FOR IN ARTICLE XIII AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE POLICY LIMITS OF ANY SUCH INSURANCE OR SELF INSURANCE, IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE AND GUARANTOR AS PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE AND THE OTHER AGREEMENTS, LESSEE WILL PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, SAVE HARMLESS AND DEFEND LESSOR FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CAUSES OF ACTION, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW), IMPOSED UPON OR INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST LESSOR BY REASON OF: (A) ANY ACCIDENT, INJURY TO OR DEATH OF PERSONS OR LOSS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY OCCURRING ON OR ABOUT THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ADJOINING SIDEWALKS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIMS OF MALPRACTICE, (B) ANY USE, MISUSE, NON‑USE, CONDITION, MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR BY LESSEE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY, (C) ANY IMPOSITIONS (WHICH ARE THE OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE TO PAY PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE), (D) ANY FAILURE ON THE PART OF LESSEE TO PERFORM OR COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE, (E) THE NON‑PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF ANY AND ALL EXISTING AND FUTURE SUBLEASES OF THE LEASED PROPERTY TO BE PERFORMED BY THE LANDLORD (LESSEE) THEREUNDER, (F) the realization of taxable income or gain by any Facility Lessor or any Equity Constituent of any Facility Lessor under the Code in connection with any Property Substitution, AND
54
(G) ANY AND ALL LAWFUL ACTION THAT MAY BE TAKEN BY LESSOR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE, WHETHER OR NOT SUIT IS FILED IN CONNECTION WITH SAME, OR IN CONNECTION WITH LESSEE OR A GUARANTOR AND/OR ANY PARTNER, JOINT VENTURER, MEMBER OR SHAREHOLDER THEREOF BECOMING A PARTY TO A VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY FEDERAL OR STATE BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING. ANY AMOUNTS WHICH BECOME PAYABLE BY LESSEE UNDER THIS ARTICLE XXI SHALL BE PAID WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS AFTER LIABILITY THEREFOR ON THE PART OF LESSOR IS DETERMINED BY LITIGATION OR OTHERWISE AND, IF NOT TIMELY PAID, SHALL BEAR A LATE CHARGE (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) AT THE OVERDUE RATE AND A LATE PAYMENT PENALTY COMPUTED AT THE LATE PAYMENT PENALTY RATE FROM THE DATE OF SUCH DETERMINATION TO THE DATE OF PAYMENT. LESSEE, AT ITS EXPENSE, SHALL CONTEST, RESIST AND DEFEND ANY SUCH CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ASSERTED OR INSTITUTED AGAINST LESSOR AND MAY COMPROMISE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THE SAME, SUBJECT TO LESSOR'S APPROVAL. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS INDEMNIFYING LESSOR AGAINST ITS OWN GROSSLY NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
(a) Except an assignment in connection with a Permitted Sale Transaction (which shall be permitted without Lessor prior written consent), Lessee shall not assign this Lease without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment that requires its consent, provided that, that no Event of Default then exists and so long as immediately following any such assignment, Lessor has reasonably determined that (x) the assignee shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenant applicable to the Combined Lessees set forth in Section 16.1(k), to the extent then applicable, and (y) a Person than owns 51% or more of the direct or indirect Equity Interests of the assignee shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenants applicable to Adeptus set forth in Section 16.1(l) (which compliance shall be measured to include such Person’s subsidiaries, as applicable), and provided further that (i) the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed; (ii) an original counterpart of each such assignment and assumption, duly executed by Lessee and such assignee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor; and (iii) Lessor shall have received the necessary Credit Enhancements from such assignee comparable to that existing prior to such assignment. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied, then Lessee shall be released from all liabilities and obligations accruing under this Lease from and after such assignment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to
55
|
the contrary, any assignment must be of all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to this Lease and the Leased Property such that this Lease is not severed with respect to any one or more of the Facilities. |
(b) Lessee may sublease one or more portions of the Leased Property from time to time provided that (i) the Tenant Lease and the Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Section 22.2, (ii) an original counterpart of each such Tenant Lease, duly executed by Lessee and such Tenant shall be delivered promptly to Lessor, and (iii) Lessee shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the obligations, covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder and under all of the other documents executed in connection herewith. |
22.3 Sublease Subordination and Non‑Disturbance. Within twenty (20) days after request by Lessor or Lessee with respect to any Tenant, Lessee shall cause such Tenant to execute and
56
|
deliver to Lessor and Lessor shall execute and deliver to such Tenant a subordination, non‑disturbance and attornment agreement relating to such Tenant's Tenant Lease, which subordination, non‑disturbance and attornment agreement shall be in form mutually satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee. Within twenty (20) days from the date of request of Lessor, a Facility Lender or Lessee, with respect to any Tenant, Lessee shall cause such Tenant and Lessor shall cause such Facility Lender to enter into a written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to such Facility Lender and such Tenant whereby (x) such Tenant subordinates the Tenant Lease and all of its rights and estate thereunder to each such mortgage or deed of trust that encumbers the Leased Property or any part thereof and agrees with each such Facility Lender that such Tenant will attorn to and recognize such Facility Lender or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in any such mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be, as Lessor under this Lease for the balance of the Term then remaining, subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Tenant Lease and (y) such Facility Lender shall agree that Tenant shall not be disturbed in peaceful enjoyment of the applicable portion of the Leased Property nor shall the applicable Tenant Lease be terminated or canceled at any time, except as specified in the applicable Tenant Lease. |
23.1At any time and from time to time within twenty (20) days following written request by Lessor or Lessee, Lessor ,or each Facility Lessee and Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the other party an Officer's Certificate certifying that (i) this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth the modifications) and the dates to which the Rent has been paid, and (ii) no Event of Default then exists and no event has occurred and no condition currently exists that would, but for the giving of any required notice or expiration of any applicable cure period, constitute an Event of Default, or disclosing that such an event or condition, if any, exists. Any such Officer's Certificate furnished by Lessee and Guarantor pursuant to this Section 23.1 may be relied upon by Lessor and any prospective purchaser of the Leased Property. Any such Officer's Certificate furnished by Lessor pursuant to this Section 23.1 may be relied upon by Lessee and by any prospective assignee thereof.
23.1Each Facility Lessee shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lessor the following items in such form and detail as Lessor may reasonably require:
(a) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each year, audited Financial Statements of Guarantor on a consolidated basis (which shall include supplementary consolidating schedules for each Facility Lessee), prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm or an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Lessor, which statements shall include balance sheets and statements of operations and of cash flows, all in accordance with GAAP for the year then ended; and |
57
(b) within forty‑five (45) days after the end of each quarter, current balance sheets and quarterly statements of operations and of cash flows of Guarantor and such Facility Lessee, certified to be true and correct by an officer of Guarantor; and |
(c) within thirty (30) days after the end of each month, current balance sheets, monthly income statements and of cash flows (if such monthly statement of cash flows is available or produced in the ordinary course of business) of such Facility Lessee and operating statistics of its Facility; and |
(d) within ten (10) days after receipt, any and all notices (regardless of form) from any and all licensing and/or certifying agencies that any license or certification operated by such Facility Lessee is being downgraded to a substandard category, revoked, or suspended, or that action is pending or being considered to downgrade to a substandard category, revoke, or suspend such Facility's license or certification; |
(e) with reasonable promptness, such other information respecting the financial condition and affairs of such Facility Lessee and Guarantor as Lessor may reasonably request from time to time. |
23.2Within two (2) Business Days after receipt, each Facility Lessee shall furnish to Lessor copies of all notices and demands from any third‑party payor concerning any overpayment which will or may result in a repayment or a refund in excess of Five Percent (5%) of the Allocated Lease Base with respect to such Facility.
23.2Each Facility Lessee shall furnish to Lessor prompt written notice of, and any information related to, any governmental investigations of such Facility Lessee or any Guarantor (or any of their respective Affiliates), or any inspections or investigations of the Facility which are conducted by any United States Attorney, State Attorney General, or the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services.
23.2Each Facility Lessee shall furnish to Lessor immediately upon receipt thereof copies of all notices of material adverse events or deficiencies as defined by the regulations and standards of the Joint Commission (formerly known as the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) (the "Joint Commission") or the equivalent accrediting body relied upon by such Facility Lessee in the operation of the Facility operated by such Facility Lessee or any part thereof.
23.2In order to determine and confirm the prevailing consolidated Net Worth of Adeptus and its subsidiaries, upon Lessor's request from time to time, Lessee shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) promptly to Lessor, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after such request, the most recently available Financial Statements and such other financial and operational information as Lessor reasonably requests to determine such Net Worth.

Upon reasonable prior written notice, Lessee shall permit Lessor, or its designated Affiliate, and their respective authorized representatives to inspect the Leased Property during usual business hours subject to any security, health, safety or confidentiality requirements of Lessee, any governmental agency, any Insurance Requirements relating to the Leased Property, or imposed by law or applicable regulations; except that, in the event of an emergency, Lessor shall have the right to inspect the Leased Property upon reasonable notice (which in this circumstance may be verbal).

To the extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. Lessor and Lessee agree that no waiver shall be effective hereunder unless it is in writing.
To the extent permitted by law, each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Lessor or Lessee now or hereafter provided either in this Lease or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lessor or Lessee of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Lessor or Lessee of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.
59
No surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of the Leased Property, or of any part thereof or interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor, and no act by Lessor or any representative or agent of Lessor, other than such a written acceptance by Lessor, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.
There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same person, firm, corporation or other entity may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, (a) this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this Lease or such leasehold estate and (b) the fee estate in the Leased Property.
60
So long as Lessee shall pay all Rent as the same becomes due and shall fully comply with all of the terms of this Lease and fully perform its obligations hereunder, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property for the Term hereof, free of any claim or other action by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor, but subject to the Permitted Exceptions and all liens and encumbrances hereafter consented to by Lessee.

or to such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing, and shall be effective upon receipt. A notice, demand, consent, approval, request and other communication shall be deemed to be duly received if delivered in person or by a recognized delivery service, when left at the address of the recipient and if sent by facsimile, upon receipt by the sender of an acknowledgment or transmission report generated by the machine from which the facsimile was sent indicating that the facsimile was sent in its entirety to the recipient's facsimile number; provided that if a notice, demand, consent, approval, request or other communication is served by hand or is received by facsimile on a day which is not a Business Day, or after 5:00 p.m. (based upon Birmingham, Alabama time) on any Business Day at the addressee's location, such notice or communication shall be deemed to be duly received by the recipient at 9:00 a.m. (based upon Birmingham, Alabama time) on the first Business Day thereafter.
If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value of any portion of the Leased Property relating to a particular Facility, each party, within twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the event which makes such determination necessary, shall, by notice to the other, appoint an appraiser (each of whom must be a member of the AIREA and adhere to the USPAP standards in the preparation of the appraisal and have at least ten years' experience appraising properties comparable to the Facilities). The appraisers thus appointed shall appoint a third appraiser (such third appraiser must also be a member of the AIREA and adhere to the USPAP standards in the preparation of the appraisal and have at least ten years' experience appraising properties comparable to the Facilities) and such third appraiser shall appraise the portion of the Leased Property relating to such Facility to determine the Fair Market Value; provided, however, that if a party fails to appoint an appraiser within such required period, the sole appraiser appointed shall conduct the appraisal and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such appraisal to be completed within forty‑five (45) days following the event which makes such determination necessary. This provision for determination by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay one‑half (½) of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such appraisal. Any appraisal shall assess the Fair Market Value of the
63
portion of the Leased Property relating to such Facility as of the date of the event which makes such assessment necessary.
(a) So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no event then exists which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the closing of the purchase after Lessee notifies Lessor of its intent to exercise of such option, at the expiration of the Term of this Lease (as the same may be extended pursuant to Article II), Lessee shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to the Lessor at least three hundred sixty‑five (365) days prior to the expiration of the Term to purchase the entire Leased Property then subject to this Lease, and not less than the entire Leased Property then subject to this Lease, at a purchase price equal to the Option Price for the entire Leased Property then subject to this Lease. In the event that Lessee exercises the foregoing purchase option, upon delivery of the exercise notice, all of Lessee's rights to extend the Term under Article II (if any remaining at the time of exercise of the purchase option) shall be forever forfeited and of no further force or effect. |
(b) Unless expressly otherwise provided in this Section 33.1, if Lessee exercises the option to purchase the Leased Property as provided in this Section 33.1, (i) the terms set forth in Article XVIII shall apply, (ii) Lessee shall continue paying Rent as required under this Lease until the purchase is closed, and (iii) the sale/purchase must be closed upon the expiration of the Term. |

(vi) a list of all material leases and contracts pertaining to the proposed Substitute Property, together with copies of any such agreements which have a term of more than one (1) year or which involve payment of consideration in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in any twelve (12) month period; |

Following the issuance of the final Architect Certificate, MPT, with the cooperation and assistance of the Adeptus Parties, may, within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of the final Architect Certificate, inspect the Property and Improvements and prepare punch lists (each a “Punch List”) setting forth all incomplete, defective or other items of construction not in conformity with the Plans and Specifications and if MPT delivers any such Punch List, the Developer, with the cooperation and assistance of the Adeptus Parties, shall cause all such items to be completed
21 |
or corrected within ninety (90) days after receipt of such Punch List. If ninety (90) days is an insufficient period of time in which to complete or correct any Punch List item, the Developer may request one or more thirty (30) day extensions of said 90-day period, which extensions MPT shall grant so long as the Developer and the Adeptus Parties are working and continue to work in good faith and diligently pursue the completion and correction thereof. In the event such items are not completed within the ninety (90) day period, or the extended period of time, as applicable, MPT may complete or correct any or all of such items and the Adeptus Parties, jointly and severally (subject to the Guaranty Limitation), shall reimburse MPT for the cost thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt from MPT of written demand for such payment, with interest thereon computed at the Overdue Rate from the date of demand to the date of payment. In the event the Adeptus Parties fail to reimburse MPT for such cost and interest within such thirty (30) day period, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and MPT shall be entitled to pursue any remedies available against the Adeptus Parties provided herein or at law or in equity. |
(i) Limitation of Developer’s and Adeptus Parties’ Authoritv. Except as specifically approved in writing by MPT, or as expressly set forth herein, neither the Developer nor either Adeptus Party shall have authority to bind MPT in any matters regarding the Project. The Developer’s and the Adeptus Parties’ actual authority hereunder is limited by this Agreement. Neither the Developer nor the Adeptus Parties shall undertake or permit any development of or construction on the Property or Improvements, engage the services of any contractor, architect, engineer, consultant or other third party, engage a vendor or supplier, expend any funds or incur any debt in connection with the development and construction of the Project or the performance of any other obligation under this Agreement or in connection with the Project, unless either (i) the action shall have been expressly authorized in this Agreement and can be completed within the limits of the Development Budget and the time periods set by the Development Schedule, or (ii) the action is approved by MPT in writing prior to taking such action; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to the Architect Agreement entered into by First Choice prior to the date hereof that is substantially in accordance with a form approved by MPT (as such form may have been modified as reasonably directed by MPT) and subject to the Assignment of Third Party Agreements. |
(j) Force Ma jeure. The Project Completion Date shall be extended by any enforced delay due to an unforeseeable cause beyond the Developer’s or Adeptus Parties’ control and without either the Developer’s or any Adeptus Party’s fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, weather-related acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, acts of public enemies, war, blockades, riots, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, civil disturbances and unusually severe weather conditions not reasonably anticipatable (collectively the “Force Majeure Events”); provided, however, that such excused delay by any of the Force Majeure Events shall be deemed to exist only so long as the Developer or the Adeptus Parties promptly and specifically notify MPT in writing of such delay and exercise due diligence to remove or overcome such delay; and, provided further that such Force Majeure Events shall not excuse, defer or delay any obligation of the Developer or any Adeptus Party involving the payment of money. |
(k) Letter of Credit. |
(i) Subject to the terms of this subsection (i) and subsection (ii) below,
22 |
contemporaneously with the Initial Funding and as security for the Letter of Credit Obligations, the First Choice Parties shall obtain and deliver to MPT an irrevocable letter of credit at a financial institution reasonably acceptable to MPT naming MPT as beneficiary thereunder (the “Letter of Credit”), which Letter of Credit shall be upon such other terms, conditions and provisions acceptable to MPT (including, without limitation, an “evergreen” provision requiring no less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to MPT of any failure or refusal to renew such Letter of Credit). Subject to the proviso below and the increases provided for in this subsection (i), the Letter of Credit shall be in an amount equal to the maximum amount permitted without violating the Guaranty Limitation, based upon the amount of the Total Development Costs incurred through the applicable Funding date, which in no event shall exceed an amount equal to Fifty Percent (50%) of one (1) year’s Base Rent (as defined under the Master Lease) relating to the Facility; provided, however, that delivery of the Letter of Credit shall not be required until the Adeptus Parties can deliver a Letter of Credit in a minimum amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) without violating the Guaranty Limitation. Following initial delivery of the Letter of Credit to MPT, on each subsequent Funding date the Adeptus Parties shall deliver to MPT a replacement letter of credit, or an amendment to the Letter of Credit, reflecting an increase in the Letter of Credit amount calculated as provided herein above; provided, further, that the Adeptus Parties will not be required to replace the Letter of Credit or provide an amendment to increase the amount of the Letter of Credit pursuant to this sentence (A) more frequently than once every thirty (30) days, or (B) if the Letter of Credit amount would be increased by less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000). The Letter of Credit, or any replacement letter of credit, shall provide that MPT shall be entitled to draw upon such Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. In the event MPT receives a notice of termination or nonrenewal of the Letter of Credit or any replacement letter of credit, Adeptus Parties shall provide a replacement letter of credit no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination of such Letter of Credit or replacement letter of credit, the terms of which shall be consistent with the requirements of this Section 3.11(k). The Adeptus Parties shall maintain a letter of credit conforming to the requirements of this Section 3.11 (k) until the date of Completion or as otherwise required under Master Lease. |
(ii) The Adeptus Parties may, at their option, satisfy the Letter of Credit requirements under this Agreement by providing one (1) letter of credit satisfying the letter of credit requirements of this Agreement, as well as the letter of credit requirements under the other Project Development Agreements (as defined in the Master Lease) entered into by their Affiliates. |

31
6.05 Failure to Exercise Remedies. Neither failure nor delay on the part MPT, the Developer, or the Adeptus Parties to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Transaction Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The acceptance by MPT of any partial payments under the Transaction Documents made by or on behalf of the Developer or the Adeptus Parties after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any Transaction Document shall not be deemed a waiver or cure by MPT of said Event of Default unless expressly agreed in writing by MPT. |

Developer’s sole liability under this Agreement shall arise from an Event of Default attributable to Developer’s failure to use its best efforts under this Agreement or its negligence or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties related to construction management services under this Agreement. Developer, although a party to this Agreement, shall not be liable for any acts, negligence, misrepresentations or violation of representations of the Adeptus Parties or any Third Parties. |

(c) Regarding the indemnification of the Adeptus Parties set forth in Section 8.10(a) hereof, (i) the obligations of the Adeptus Parties (but not the Developer) for indemnification shall not
36 |
in the aggregate exceed the Guaranty Limitation (except as otherwise expressly provided in the Guaranty), and (ii) the obligation of First Choice under Section 8.10(a) in respect of the Master Lease shall exclude any demands, claims, actions, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, taxes, costs and expenses arising under the Master Lease, all of which must be pursued against First Choice (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease and the Guaranty (as defined in the Master Lease). |

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY OR ANY EXERCISE OF ANY PARTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ASSETS (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. |

All such costs and expenses (together with the Transaction Expenses and the Developer Fee) shall be included within the Development Budget; provided, that the same shall remain subject to the Total Funding Amount limitation, it being further understood and agreed that to the extent that such limitation is exceeded, the Adeptus Parties (subject to the Guaranty Limitation with respect to the Adeptus Parties) shall be jointly and severally responsible for, and shall promptly pay or reimburse to MPT upon demand for, any such excess (including, without limitation, any such excess resulting from the costs and expenses described herein). In the event that the Developer has committed an Event of Default under this Agreement, Developer shall be jointly and severally responsible with the Adeptus Parties for, and shall pay or reimburse to MPT upon demand, all reasonable expenses (including but not limited to legal, accounting, brokerage and other fees and expenses) which may be incurred by MPT with respect to this Agreement, the administration of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. |
8.16 Joint and Several Obligations. The Adeptus Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for all of their respective liabilities and obligations under this Agreement to the extent each is otherwise liable therefor; provided, however, that the Adeptus Parties shall be subject to the Guaranty Limitation. Additionally, each Adeptus Party acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement that they each have made shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon and enforceable against any one or more or all of the Developer and the Adeptus Parties. Developer shall not be liable to Adeptus Parties or to MPT for any cost overruns (except to the extent such cost overrun is caused directly by Developer’s failure to use its best efforts as required under this Agreement), or the acts or negligence of the General Contractor, the Architect or any other Third Parties. Developer’s sole liability under this Agreement shall arise from an Event of Default attributable to Developer’s failure to use its best efforts under this Agreement or its negligence or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties related to construction management services under this Agreement. |
8.17 Cooperation and Assistance by the Adeptus Parties. From the date hereof until the Completion, in addition to their own respective duties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Adeptus Parties shall assist and cooperate with the Developer in the performance of the Developer’s services hereunder, including, without limitation, (a) services relating to the design, permitting, construction and development of the Project, (b) providing MPT updates on the progress of the Project, (c) using all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or assist Developer in obtaining all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Bodies (as defined in the Master Funding and Development Agreement) and officials that are required by the Recorded Agreements or that otherwise may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of the Developer’s obligations hereunder, and (d) generally coordinating with the Developer regarding

8.18 Limitation of Certain Obligations of the Adeptus Parties.

It is understood and agreed by Developer and the Adeptus Parties that delivery at any time of any working drawings, plans and specifications, draw requests, Proposed Change Orders, Third Party Agreements, instruments, insurance certificates, approval requests or any other documents, notices or other items to the Construction Consultant, whether delivered by Developer, any Adeptus Party, the Architect or the General Contractor, shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute delivery of the same to MPT. |
8.20 Right to Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if a party breaches its obligations under this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated herein). Accordingly, each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent any such breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity (including the recovery of damages from the other party), without proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. |
8.21 Survival. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that, all claims against, and liabilities of, the Developer, the Adeptus Parties, or MPT which relate to acts or omissions prior to the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, and the covenants and obligations under this Agreement which expressly relate to periods after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all indemnification obligations and those covenants and obligations described in Sections 3.04, 3.08(b), 5.04(a), 8.10, 8.14 and 8.15 shall survive such expiration or earlier termination. |
