Transfer
Consideration: With respect to any Transfer constituting a Master Sublease
of a Transfer Consideration Facility (other than a Master Sublease entered
into
in connection with a Sale of Business), "Transfer Consideration" shall mean
Fifty Percent (50%) of the positive difference, if any, between the Fair
Market
Rental and the Allocated Minimum Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease
determined on a monthly basis with respect to such Transfer Consideration
Facility, prorating such Minimum Rent, as appropriate, if less than all of
the
applicable Transfer Consideration Facility is Master Subleased. Fifty Percent
(50%) of the difference shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor monthly when the
Allocated Minimum Rent is due for such Transfer Consideration Facility;
provided, however, that in no event shall the total Transfer Consideration
to
which Lessor is entitled in connection with any such Master Sublease exceed
the
total consideration given directly or indirectly (including through one or
more
intermediaries) to Lessee, to any Controlling Person(s) or to any other Person
in exchange for, in connection with, related to or arising out of the
transaction(s) as to which such Master Sublease is a part. With respect to
any
other Transfer relating to any Transfer Consideration Facility (i.e., a
Transfer other than pursuant to a Master Sublease, but including a Master
Sublease which is part of a Sale of Business) "Transfer Consideration" shall
mean Fifty Percent (50%) of the sum of (a) any and all consideration given
directly or indirectly (including through one or more intermediaries) to
Lessee,
to any Controlling Person(s) or to any other Persons in exchange for, in
connection with, related to or arising out of such Transfer, less (b) the
Net
Book Value Adjustment (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that if
such
Transfer constitutes a Sale of Business or is a Master Sublease of any Transfer
Consideration Facility entered into in connection with a Sale of Business,
then
"Transfer Consideration" shall mean Fifty Percent (50%) of the Allocated
Value
(as hereinafter defined) of the sum of (i) any and all suchconsideration
given
directly or indirectly (including through one or more intermediaries) to
Lessee,
to any Controlling Person(s) or to any other Person in exchange for, in
connection with, related to or arising out of such Sale of Business, less
(ii)
the Net Book Value Adjustment. As used herein, the term "Net Book Value
Adjustment" shall mean the book value of any cash or cash equivalents,
receivables and any other tangible assets of Lessee or of any Controlling
Person(s) or other transferor(s), as the case may be, being transferred,
conveyed or sold, directly or indirectly, in connection with such Transfer
or
Sale of Business, as the case may be, net of any liabilities relating to
such
transferred assets being assumed, directly or indirectly, by the transferee
in
connection with such Transfer (e.g., accounts payable, accrued vacation,
equipment leases, etc., but specifically excluding, without limitation, the
obligations under this Lease), all as determined in accordance with GAAP.
As
used herein, the term "Allocated Value" shall mean the sum of clauses (i)
and
(ii) above allocated to the Leased Property of the applicable Transfer
Consideration Facility, any Capital Additions and Lessee's operations thereon
(including any and all business, enterprise and goodwill value), determined
by
the appraisal procedures set forth in Article XXXIV and based upon (x) the
present value of the then current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and rents (including Rents under this Lease) ("EBITDAR") of
the
applicable Transfer Consideration Facility over the remaining Term of this
Lease
with respect to such Transfer Consideration Facility (taking into account
any
unexercised Extended Term(s)), less the present value of the remaining Allocated
Minimum Rent to be paid under this Lease for such Transfer Consideration
Facility for such period(s), as compared to (y) the sum of the following
with
respect to all operations being transferred, conveyed or sold, directly or
indirectly, in connection with a Sale of Business: (1) with respect to all
operations conducted at leased facilities (including the applicable Transfer
Consideration Facility), the present value of the then current EBITDAR of
all
such operations over the remaining terms of all such leases (taking into
account
any unexercised extension options thereunder), less the present value of
the
remaining rents to be paid under such leases for such period(s), and (2)
with
respect to any operations conducted at owned facilities, the EBITDAR of such
operations capitalized at the appropriate market capitalization rate, less
debt
which is being assumed, directly or indirectly, by the transferee (taking
into
account the positive or negative value of such assumed debt attributable
to the
interest rate, amortization schedule, maturity date, prepayment penalties
and
other relevant terms thereof). As used herein, the term "consideration" shall
mean and include money, services, property and other things of value, including
payment of costs, cancellation or forgiveness of indebtedness, discounts,
rebates, barter and the like. For purposes of Section 24.1.2.2 and the payment
of Transfer Consideration to Lessor as provided in this Lease, if any such
consideration given in exchange for, in connection with, related to or arising
out of such Transfer is in a form other than cash (such as in kind, equity
interests, indebtedness, earn-outs or other deferred payments, consulting
or
management fees, etc.), Lessor shall be entitled to receive the applicable
Transfer Consideration on account thereof in cash based upon the present
fair
market value of such consideration at the time of the Transfer. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee shall have no
obligation to pay Transfer Consideration in connection with any Transfer
relating to any Facility that is not a Transfer Consideration Facility. Lessee
acknowledges and agrees that the terms under which Lessor is entitled to
the
payment of Transfer Consideration pursuant to this Lease and the amount thereof
has been freely negotiated and represents a fair and equitable division with
Lessor of the consideration payable in connection with a Transfer taking
into
account, among other things, Lessor's investment in the Leased Property,
the
terms of this Lease and the inherent risks of owning and leasing real
property.

Transfer
Consideration Facilities: Each of those Facilities identified as a Transfer
Consideration Facility on Exhibit C attached hereto.
Unsuitable
for Its Primary Intended Use: With respect to each Facility, a state or
condition of such Facility such that by reason of damage or destruction or
Condemnation, in the good faith judgment of Lessor, such Facility cannot
be
operated on a commercially practicable basis for its Primary Intended
Use.
ARTICLE
III.
3.1 Rent.
From and after the Restatement Date, Lessee will pay to Lessor in lawful
money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts, without offset or deduction, the amounts
set forth hereinafter as Minimum Rent during the Term. Payments of Minimum
Rent
shall be made by wire transfer of funds initiated by Lessee to Lessor's account
or to such other Person as Lessor from time to time may designate in writing,
in
advance on or before the first day of each calendar month.
3.1.1 Minimum
Rent.
(a) Subject
to upward adjustments as provided in subsections (b), (c) and (d) below,
for the
period from the Restatement Date through the expiration of the first Lease
Year,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor as monthly "Allocated Minimum Rent" for each Facility
the amounts allocated to and set forth opposite such Facility on Exhibit
C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The
first monthly payment of Allocated Minimum Rent for each Facility shall be
payable on the Restatement Date (prorated as to any partial calendar month
at
the beginning of the Term).
(b) With
respect to the Group 1 Facilities, commencing upon the expiration of the
first
Lease Year for such Group 1 Facilities and upon the expiration of each Lease
Year thereafter during the Term for such Group 1 Facilities (i.e., including
the
Extended Term), the monthly Allocated Minimum Rent in effect as of the
expiration of the immediately preceding Lease Year for such Group 1 Facilities
shall be increased by an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the product
of
(i) Twenty-Five Hundredths Percent (.25%) times (ii) the Minimum Repurchase
Price for such Group 1 Facilities.
(c) With
respect to the Group 2 Facilities, commencing upon the expiration of the
first
Lease Year for the Group 2 Facilities and upon the expiration of each Lease
Year
thereafter during the Term for such Group 2 Facilities (including each Extended
Term, if either), the then current monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for such
Group
2 Facilities for such Lease Year shall be adjusted by the applicable CPI
Increase; provided, however, that in no event shall the monthly Allocated
Minimum Rent for any Group 2 Facility after any such adjustment be less than
One
Hundred Two and One-Half Percent (102.5%) nor more than One Hundred Five
Percent
(105%) of the monthly Allocated Minimum Rent in effect for such Group 2 Facility
immediately prior to such adjustment, notwithstanding the actual percentage
change in the CPI Increase.
18
(d) With
respect to the Group 3 Facilities, commencing upon the expiration of the
first
Lease Year for such Group 3 Facilities and upon the expiration of each Lease
Year thereafter during the Fixed Term for such Group 3 Facilities, the then
current monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for such Group 3 Facilities for such
Lease Year shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the applicable Group 3
Facility Escalator. Upon the commencement of the first (1st) Lease
Year of
each Extended Term for the Group 3 Facilities, if any, the initial monthly
Allocated Minimum Rent for each Group 3 Facility shall be equal to the greater
of (a) the then current monthly Fair Market Rental for such Group 3 Facility
and
(b) the monthly Allocated Minimum Rent payable for such Group 3 Facility
during
the last Lease Year of the immediately preceding Term. Commencing upon the
expiration of the first (1st) Lease
Year of
each Extended Term for the Group 3 Facilities, if any, and upon the expiration
of each Lease Year thereafter during such Extended Term, the then-current
monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for each Group 3 Facility shall be adjusted
by an
amount equal to the applicable Group 3 Facility Escalator.
If
any
adjustment for any Facility provided for in subsections (b), (c) or (d) shall
not have been made at the commencement of the Lease Year for which applicable,
Lessee shall continue to pay monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for such Facility
at
the last rate applicable until Lessee receives Lessor's written notice as
to
such adjustment. Within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's
notice,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the new monthly Allocated Minimum
Rent for such Facility times the number of months from the commencement
of the then current Lease Year to the date of receipt of Lessor's notice,
less
the aggregate amount paid by Lessee on account of monthly Allocated Minimum
Rent
for such Facility for the same period. Thereafter, Lessee shall pay monthly
Allocated Minimum Rent for such Facility for the applicable Lease Year at
the
new rate set forth in Lessor's notice.
3.2 Additional
Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent, (i) Lessee shall also pay and
discharge as and when due and payable all other amounts, liabilities,
obligations and Impositions which Lessee assumes or agrees to pay under this
Lease; and (ii) in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay
any of
those items referred to in clause (i) above, Lessee shall also promptly pay
and
discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for
nonpayment or late payment of such items (the items referred to in clauses
(i)
and (ii) above being referred to herein collectively as the "Additional
Charges").
3.3 Late
Payment of Rent.
(a) LESSEE
HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LATE PAYMENT BY LESSEE TO LESSOR OF RENT WILL CAUSE
LESSOR TO INCUR COSTS NOT CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER, THE EXACT AMOUNT OF WHICH
IS
PRESENTLY ANTICIPATED TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. SUCH COSTS
MAY
INCLUDE PROCESSING AND ACCOUNTING CHARGES AND LATE CHARGES WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED
ON LESSOR BY THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN AGREEMENT AND OTHER EXPENSES OF A SIMILAR
OR
DISSIMILAR NATURE. ACCORDINGLY, IF ANY INSTALLMENT OF RENT OTHER THAN ADDITIONAL
CHARGES PAYABLE TO A PERSON OTHER THAN LESSOR SHALL NOT BE PAID WITHIN THREE
(3)
BUSINESS DAYS AFTER ITS DUE DATE, LESSEE WILL PAY LESSOR ON DEMAND A LATE
CHARGE
EQUAL TO THE LESSER OF (I) FIVE PERCENT (5%) OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH INSTALLMENT
OR (II) THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS
LATE
CHARGE REPRESENTS A FAIR AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE COSTS THAT LESSOR
WILL
INCUR BY REASON OF LATE PAYMENT BY LESSEE. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT
SUCH
LATE CHARGE IS RENT AND NOT INTEREST AND SUCH ASSESSMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE
A
LENDER OR BORROWER/CREDITOR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE. N ADDITION,
THE AMOUNT UNPAID, INCLUDING ANY LATE CHARGES, SHALL BEAR INTEREST AT THE
OVERDUE RATE COMPOUNDED MONTHLY FROM THE DUE DATE OF SUCH INSTALLMENT TO
THE
DATE OF PAYMENT THEREOF, AND LESSEE SHALL PAY SUCH INTEREST TO LESSOR ON
DEMAND.
THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LATE CHARGE OR SUCH INTEREST SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE WAIVER
OF,
NOR EXCUSE OR CURE, ANY DEFAULT UNDER THIS LEASE, NOR PREVENT LESSOR FROM
EXERCISING ANY OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO LESSOR.

3.4 Net
Lease. This Lease is and is intended to be what is commonly referred to as a
"net, net, net" or "triple net" lease. The Rent shall be paid absolutely
net to
Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the
installments of Minimum Rent and Additional Charges throughout the Term with
respect to each Facility.
3.5 Separate
Account. Lessee shall deposit the gross receipts of each Facility into a
separate, segregated bank account, and Lessee shall provide copies of all
bank
statements of such account to Lessor upon Lessor's request.
ARTICLE
IV.
4.1 Impositions.
4.1.1 Subject
to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee shall pay, or cause
to be
paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added
for non-payment. Lessee shall make such payments directly to the taxing
authorities where feasible, and promptly furnish to Lessor copies of official
receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Lessee's
obligation to pay Impositions shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such
Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property, any Capital Additions
or any
part(s) thereof. If any Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully
be paid in installments, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid
balance of such Imposition, Lessee may pay the same, and any accrued interest
on
the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as the same respectively
become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost
may
be added thereto.
4.1.2 Lessor
shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by
Legal
Requirements with respect to Lessor's net income, gross receipts, franchise
taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Lessee shall prepare and file all
other tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal
Requirements.
4.1.3 Any refund due from
any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Lessee shall be
paid
over to or retained by Lessee if no Event of Default shall have occurred
hereunder and be continuing. Any other refund shall be paid over to or retained
by Lessor.
4.1.4 Lessor
and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained
by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property
and
all Capital Additions as may be necessary to prepare any required returns
and
reports. If any property covered by this Lease is classified as personal
property for tax purposes, Lessee shall file all personal property tax returns
in such jurisdictions where it must legally so file. Lessor, to the extent
it
possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it possesses the same, shall
provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records
necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal
property. Where Lessor is legally required to file personal property tax
returns
and to the extent practicable, Lessee shall be provided with copies of
assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in
sufficient time for Lessee to file a protest.
22
4.1.5 Lessee
may, upon notice to Lessor, at Lessee's option and at Lessee's sole cost
and
expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Lessee may
deem
appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property
assessments and Lessor, at Lessee's expense as aforesaid, shall reasonably
cooperate with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action but at no
cost or
expense to Lessor. Xxxxxxxx for reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of personal
property or real property taxes shall be accompanied by copies of a xxxx
therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property or real
property with respect to which such payments are made.
4.1.6 Lessor
shall give prompt notice to Lessee of all Impositions payable by Lessee
hereunder of which Lessor has knowledge, but Lessor's failure to give any
such
notice shall in no way diminish Lessee's obligations hereunder to pay such
Impositions.
4.1.7 Impositions
imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates
with respect to any Facility shall be adjusted and prorated between Lessor
and
Lessee with respect to such Facility, whether or not such Imposition is imposed
before or after such termination.
4.2 Utilities.
Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power,
gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased Property and all Capital
Additions. Lessee shall also pay or reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses
of any kind whatsoever which at any time with respect to the Term hereof
with
respect to any Facility may be imposed against Lessor by reason of any of
the
covenants, conditions and/or restrictions affecting the Leased Property of
such
Facility, any Capital Additions of such Facility and/or any part(s) thereof,
or
with respect to easements, licenses or other rights over, across or with
respect
to any adjacent or other property which benefits the Leased Property and/or
any
Capital Additions of such Facility, including any and all costs and expenses
associated with any utility, drainage and parking easements.
4.3 Insurance.
Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums for the insurance coverage
required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder.
4.4 Impound
Account. Lessor may, at its option to be exercised by thirty (30) days'
written notice to Lessee, require Lessee to deposit, at the time of any payment
of Minimum Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth of Lessee's estimated annual
taxes, of every kind and nature, required pursuant to Section 4.1 plus
one-twelfth of Lessee's estimated annual insurance premiums required pursuant
to
Section 4.3 into an impound account as directed by Lessor. Such amounts shall
be
applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which said amounts
were
deposited in such order of priority as Lessor shall determine, on or before
the
respective dates on which the same or any of them would become delinquent.
The
cost of administering such impound account shall be paid by Lessee. Nothing
in
this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Lessor
hereunder.
4.5
Tax Service. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and
expense, cause to be furnished to Lessor a tax reporting service, to be
designated by Lessor, covering the Leased Property and all Capital
Additions.

ARTICLE
V.
5.1 No
Termination, Abatement, etc. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Lease, Lessee shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its
terms
and shall not seek or be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment
or
reduction of Rent, or set-off against the Rent. The respective obligations
of
Lessor and Lessee shall not be affected by reason of (i) any damage to or
destruction of the Leased Property, any Capital Additions and/or any part(s)
thereof from whatever cause and/or any Condemnation of the Leased Property,
any
Capital Additions and/or any part(s) thereof; (ii) the lawful or unlawful
prohibition of, or restriction upon, Lessee's use of the Leased Property,
any
Capital Additions and/or any part(s) thereof, the interference with such
use by
any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (iii) any claim that
Lessee has or might have against Lessor by reason of any default or breach
of
any warranty by Lessor hereunder or under any other agreement between Lessor
and
Lessee or to which Lessor and Lessee are parties; (iv) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution,
winding up or other proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee
of Lessor; or (v) for any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any
of
the foregoing, other than a discharge of Lessee from any such obligations
as a
matter of law. Lessee hereby specifically waives all rights arising from
any
occurrence whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by
law (a)
to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased
Property, any Capital Additions and/or any part(s) thereof; or (b) which
may
entitle Lessee to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the
Rent
or other sums payable by Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Lease. The obligations of Lessor and Lessee hereunder shall
be
separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other
sums payable by Lessee hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events
unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the
express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease other than
by
reason of an Event of Default.
5.2 Termination
with Respect to Fewer than All of the Facilities. Wherever in this Lease the
action of terminating the Lease with respect to a Facility (or action of
similar
import) is discussed, such action shall mean the termination of Lessee's
rights
in and to the Leased Property relating to such Facility. Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, if this Lease shall be terminated
by
Lessor or Lessee pursuant to rights granted hereunder with respect to any
Facility, such termination shall not affect the applicable Term of this Lease
with respect to the balance of the Facilities not so terminated by Lessor,
and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to each other
such Facility, except that the total Minimum Rent payable hereunder shall
be
reduced by the amount of Allocated Minimum Rent with respect to such Facility
as
to which this Lease has so terminated, subject, however, to Lessor's right,
in
the event of a termination because of an Event of Default, to recover damages
with respect to any such Facility as to which this Lease has been terminated
as
provided in Article XVI. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall serve
in
any way to limit Lessor's ability, pursuant to Section 16.2 below, to terminate
this Lease with respect to any or all of the Facilities if an Event of Default
shall have occurred under this Lease, regardless of whether such Event of
Default emanated primarily from a single Facility.
5.3 Abatement
Procedures. In the event of a partial taking by Condemnation of any Facility
as described in Section 15.1.2, which taking by Condemnation does not render
the
Leased Property of such Facility Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use,
this
Lease shall not terminate with respect to the Leased Property of such Facility,
but the monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for such Facility shall be abated
in the
manner and to the extent that is fair, just and equitable to both Lessee
and
Lessor, primarily taking into consideration, along with other relevant factors,
the number of usable beds affected by such partial taking by Condemnation.
If
Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the amount of such abatement within
sixty (60) days after such partial taking by Condemnation, either party may
submit the matter to arbitration as provided in Article XLIV
below.

6.1 Ownership
of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges that the Leased Property is the
property of Lessor and that Lessee has only the right to the exclusive
possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of
this
Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect
to
any Facility Lessee shall, at its expense, repair and restore the Leased
Property relating to such Facility to the condition required by Section
9.1.4.
6.2 Personal
Property. During the Term, Lessee shall, as necessary and at its expense,
install, affix or assemble or place on any parcels of the Land or in any
of the
Leased Improvements, any items of Lessee's Personal Property and replacements
thereof which shall be the property of and owned by Lessee. Except as provided
in Sections 6.3 and 16.10, Lessor shall have no rights to Lessee's Personal
Property. With respect to each Facility, Lessee shall provide and maintain
during the entire Term applicable to such Facility all Personal Property
necessary in order to operate such Facility in compliance with all licensure
and
certification requirements, all Legal Requirements and all Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry
for its Primary Intended Use.
6.3 Transfer
of Personal Property and Capital Additions to Lessor. Upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease with respect to a Facility, all Capital
Additions not owned by Lessor and Lessee's Personal Property relating to
such
Facility shall become the property of Lessor, free of any encumbrance and
Lessee
shall execute all documents and take any actions reasonably necessary to
evidence such ownership and discharge any encumbrance.
ARTICLE
VII.
7.1 Condition
of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges receipt and delivery of
possession of the Leased Property of each Facility and that Lessee has examined
and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property of each
Facility prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease and, as of (i)
with
respect to the Group 1 Facilities and Group 2 Facilities, the Original Lease
Commencement Date and (ii) with respect to the Group 3 Facilities, the
Restatement Date, has found the same to be in good order and repair, free
from
Hazardous Substances not in compliance with Legal Requirements, and satisfactory
for its purposes hereunder. Regardless, however, of any examination or
inspection made by Lessee and whether or not any patent or latent defect
or
condition was revealed or discovered thereby, Lessee is leasing the Leased
Property of each Facility "as is" in its present condition. Lessee waives
any
claim or action against Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased
Property of each Facility including any defects or adverse conditions not
discovered or otherwise known by Lessee as of (a) with respect to the Group
1
Facilities and Group 2 Facilities, the Original Lease Commencement Date and
(b)
with respect to the Group 3 Facilities, the Restatement Date. LESSOR MAKES

WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED
PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR
CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, OR AS TO THE NATURE
OR
QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, OR THE EXISTENCE OF ANY
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS, LATENT OR PATENT,
ARE
TO BE BORNE SOLELY BY LESSEE INCLUDING ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR
ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ENVIRONMENTAL
LAWS.

7.2 Use
of the Leased Property
7.2.1 Lessee
covenants that it will obtain and maintain all authorization and approvals
needed to use and operate the Leased Property, all Capital Additions and
each
Facility for such Facility's respective Primary Intended Use and any other
use
conducted on the Leased Property and any Capital Additions as may be permitted
from time to time hereunder in accordance with Legal Requirements including
applicable licenses, provider agreements, permits, and Medicare and/or Medicaid
certification.
7.2.2 Lessee
shall use or cause to be used the Leased Property, all Capital Additions
and the
improvements thereon of each Facility for its Primary Intended Use. Lessee
shall
not use the Leased Property, any Capital Additions or any part(s) thereof
for
any other use without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent
Lessor
may withhold in its sole discretion.
7.2.3 Lessee
shall operate continuously the entire Leased Property and all Capital Additions
of each Facility in accordance with its Primary Intended Use; provided, however,
that Lessee shall be relieved of such obligation to continuously operate
the
Leased Property and all Capital Additions of each Facility to the extent
reasonably necessary (a) to complete any repair or restoration of the Leased
Property and Capital Additions of any Facility pursuant to the terms of Sections
14.2, 14.3 and 15.1.3, as applicable, (b) to complete any Capital Additions
to
the Leased Property or any Facility that are consented to by Lessor in
accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 below, and (c) as a result of any
cause described in Section 45.1.16 below. Lessee shall devote the entirety
of
each Facility and all Capital Additions thereto to the Primary Intended Use,
except for areas reasonably required for office or storage space uses incidental
to the Primary Intended Use. Lessee shall not modify the services offered
or
take any other action (e.g., removing patients or residents from any Facility
or
directing patients or residents, or prospective patients or residents, to
another Facility) which would materially reduce Gross Revenues or the Fair
Market Value of any such Facility. Lessee shall at all times maintain an
adequate staff for the service of its residents and/or patients, in each
case
assuming an occupancy and/or use level for each Facility which is not less
than
the average occupancy and/or use level for similar facilities in the State.
Lessee shall employ its best judgment, efforts and abilities to operate
the entirety of each Facility in such a manner so as to maximize Gross Revenues
and to enhance the reputation and attractiveness of each
Facility.
26
7.2.4 Lessee
shall conduct its business at each Facility in conformity with the highest
standards of patient or resident care practice provided in similar facilities
in
the State.
7.2.5 Lessee shall not
commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the Leased Property and/or
on or
to any Capital Additions or cause or permit any nuisance to exist thereon
or
with respect thereto.
7.2.6 Lessee
shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property, any Capital Additions,
or
any part(s) thereof, or Lessee's Personal Property, to be used in such a
manner
as (i) might reasonably tend to impair Lessor's title thereto or to any portion
thereof or (ii) may make possible a claim of adverse use or possession, or
an
implied dedication of the Leased Property, any Capital Additions or any part(s)
thereof.
7.3 Lessor
to Grant Easements, etc. Lessor shall, from time to time so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of Lessee and at
Lessee's cost and expense, but subject to the approval of Lessor, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (i) grant easements and other
rights in the nature of easements; (ii) release existing easements or other
rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Leased
Property; (iii) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Leased Property
for road, highway or other public purposes; (iv) execute petitions to have
the
Leased Property annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district;
(v)
execute amendments to any covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting
the
Leased Property; and (vi) execute and deliver to any Person any instrument
appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and
transfers to the extent of its interest in the Leased Property, but only
upon
delivery to Lessor of an Officer's Certificate stating that such grant release,
dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is not detrimental to the proper
conduct of the business of Lessee on the Leased Property and does not materially
reduce the value of the Leased Property.
7.4 Preservation
of Facility Value. Lessee acknowledges that a fair return to Lessor on its
investment in the Leased Property and all Capital Additions is dependent,
in
part, on the concentration on the Leased Property during the Term of the
assisted living business of Lessee and its Affiliates in the geographical
area
of the Leased Property. Lessee further acknowledges that diversion of residents
and/or patients, as applicable, from any Facility to other facilities or
institutions owned, operated or managed, whether directly or indirectly,
by
Lessee or its Affiliates will have a material adverse impact on the value
and
utility of the Leased Property and all Capital Additions. Accordingly, Lessor
and Lessee agree as follows:
7.4.1 During
the Term with respect to each Facility and for a period of two (2) years
thereafter, neither Lessee nor any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly,
shall operate, own, manage or have any interest in or otherwise participate
in
or receive revenues from any other facility or institution providing services
or
similar goods to those provided in connection with any Facility and the Primary
Intended Use within the Prohibited Area. All distances shall be measured
on a
straight line rather than on a driving distance basis. In the event that
any
portion of such other facility or institution is located within such Prohibited
Area the entire facility or institution shall be deemed located within such
Prohibited Area.
27
7.4.2 [Intentionally
Omitted]
7.4.3 Except
as required for medically appropriate reasons, prior to and after the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall not recommend or solicit
the
removal or transfer of any resident or patient from any Facility to any other
facility or institution.
ARTICLE
VIII.
8.1 Compliance
with Legal and Insurance Requirements, Instruments, etc. Subject
to Article XII regarding permitted contests, Lessee, at its expense, shall
promptly (i) comply with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements
regarding the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the
Leased
Property, Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital Additions whether or
not
compliance therewith may require structural changes in any of the Leased
Improvements or Capital Additions thereto or interfere with the use and
enjoyment of the Leased Property and (ii) procure, maintain and comply with
all
licenses, certificates of need, provider agreements and other authorizations
required for the use of the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal Property and
all
Capital Additions for the applicable Primary Intended Use and any other use
of
the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital Additions
then
being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance
of the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital Additions.
Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, enter upon the Leased Property
and
all Capital Additions thereto and take such actions and incur such costs
and
expenses to effect such compliance as it deems advisable to protect its interest
in the Leased Property and Capital Additions thereto, and Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor for all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with such
actions. Lessee covenants and agrees that the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal
Property and all Capital Additions shall not be used for any unlawful
purpose.
ARTICLE
IX.
9.1 Maintenance
and
Repair
9.1.1 Lessee,
at its expense, shall maintain the Leased Property, and every portion thereof,
Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital Additions, and all private roadways,
sidewalks and curbs appurtenant to the Leased Property, and which are under
Lessee's control in good order and repair whether or not the need for such
repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements or
the
age of the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital
Additions, and, with reasonable promptness, make all necessary and appropriate
repairs thereto of every kind and nature, including those necessary to comply
with changes in any Legal Requirements, whether interior or exterior, structural
or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising
by reason of a condition existing prior to (a) with respect to the Group
1
Facilities and Group 2 Facilities, the applicable Original Lease Commencement
Date, and (b) with respect to the Group 3 Facilities, the Restatement Date.
All
repairs shall be at least equivalent in quality to the original work. Lessee
will not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which
might
materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property of any
Facility or any part thereof or any Capital Addition thereto for its Primary
Intended Use.
28
9.1.2 Lessor
shall not under any circumstances be required to (i) build or rebuild any
improvements on the Leased Property or any Capital Additions; (ii) make any
repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature
to
the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or
nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever
with respect thereto; or (iii) maintain the Leased Property or any Capital
Additions in any way. Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law,
the
right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any law in effect
at
the time of the execution of this Lease or hereafter enacted.
9.1.3 Nothing
contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by Lessor shall be construed
as (i) constituting the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied,
to
any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to or for the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or
other
property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition
of or
to the Leased Property or any part thereof or any Capital Addition thereto;
or
(ii) giving Lessee any right, power or permission to contract for or permit
the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or
other
property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against
Lessor
in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any way
be
the basis for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance
upon
the estate of Lessor in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof or any
Capital Addition thereto.
9.1.4 Unless
Lessor shall convey any of the Leased Property to Lessee pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term with respect to a Facility, vacate and surrender
the
Leased Property, Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital Additions in
each
case with respect to such Facility, to Lessor in the condition in which such
Leased Property was originally received from Lessor and such Lessee's Personal
Property and Capital Additions were originally introduced to such Facility,
except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or
required by the provisions of this Lease and except for ordinary wear and
tear.
9.2 Encroachments,
Restrictions, Mineral Leases, etc. If any of the Leased Improvements or
Capital Additions shall, at any time, encroach upon any property, street
or
right-of-way, or shall violate any restrictive covenant or other agreement
affecting the Leased Property, or any part thereof or any Capital Addition
thereto, or shall impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way
to which the Leased Property is subject, or the use of the Leased Property
or
any Capital Addition thereto is impaired, limited or interfered with by reason
of the exercise of the right of surface entry or any other provision of a
lease
or reservation of any oil, gas, water or other minerals, then promptly upon
the
request of Lessor or any Person affected by any such encroachment, violation
or
impairment, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, but subject to its right
to
contest the existence of any such encroachment, violation or impairment,
shall
protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessor from and against all
losses,
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys', consultants' and experts'
fees
and expenses) based on or arising by reason of any such encroachment, violation
or impairment. In the event of an adverse final determination with respect
to
any such encroachment, violation or impairment, Lessee shall either (i) obtain
valid and effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and
damages resulting from each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether
the same shall affect Lessor or Lessee; or (ii) make such changes in the
Leased
Improvements and any Capital Addition thereto, and take such other actions,
as
Lessee in the good faith exercise of its judgment deems reasonably practicable,
to remove such encroachment or to end such violation or impairment, including,
if necessary, the alteration of any of the Leased Improvements or any Capital
Addition thereto, and in any event take all such actions as may be necessary
in
order to be able to continue the operation of the Leased Improvements and
any
Capital Addition thereto for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the
manner and to the extent the Leased Improvements and Capital Additions were
operated prior to the assertion of such encroachment, violation or impairment.
Lessee's obligations under this Section 9.2 shall be in addition to and shall
in
no way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy
of
title or other insurance and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not
necessary to compensate Lessor for any damages incurred by any such
encroachment, violation or impairment, Lessee shall be entitled to a credit
for
any sums recovered by Lessor under any such policy of title or other
insurance.
29
9.3 Capital
Projects.
9.3.1 Without
in any way limiting Lessee's obligations under this Article IX, Lessee shall
expend during each Lease Year for the Group 3 Facilities, no less than the
Annual Minimum Capital Project Amount for each of the Group 3 Facilities
for
Capital Projects to such Group 3 Facilities. Such Capital Projects shall
be
performed and completed in compliance with the applicable provisions of this
Lease, including the applicable provisions of Article X hereof. Promptly
following the expiration of each Lease Year for the Group 3 Facilities, Lessee
shall furnish to Lessor reasonable documentary evidence as to the completion
of
all Capital Projects for such Lease Year required pursuant to this Section
9.3,
together with the costs thereof. If Lessee fails to expend during each Lease
Year the applicable Annual Minimum Capital Project Amount for Capital Projects
to any Group 3 Facility, then, without limiting any rights or remedies afforded
Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Lease for a breach by Lessee of its
obligation hereunder, Lessee shall promptly deposit with Lessor as a repair
and
replacement reserve with respect to such Group 3 Facility (a "Replacement
Reserve") for Capital Projects to such Group 3 Facility, an amount equal
to (a)
the Annual Minimum Capital Project Amount for such Group 3 Facility less
(b) the
sum of (i) the amounts expended by Lessee during such Lease Year on account
of
Capital Projects to such Group 3 Facility and (ii) the Annual Minimum Capital
Project Amount Overage for such Group 3 Facility. So long as no Event of
Default
or an event or circumstance has occurred which with notice or passage of
time,
or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder has occurred, if
(i) a
Replacement Reserve has been established for any Group 3 Facility and (ii)
Lessee expends in any Lease Year an amount in excess of the applicable Annual
Minimum Capital Project Amount for Capital Projects for such Group 3 Facility,
Lessor shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in such
Replacement Reserve, disburse to Lessee the Capital Project Costs incurred
and
paid by Lessee during such Lease Year in performing such Capital Projects
to
such Group 3 Facility in excess of the applicable Annual Minimum Capital
Project
Amount for such Group 3 Facility for such Lease Year. Any such disbursement
from
any Replacement Reserve shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee within fifteen
(15)
days following: (a) receipt by Lessor of a written request from Lessee for
disbursement from the Replacement Reserve for such Group 3 Facility and a
certification by Lessee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor
that the applicable item of Capital Project for such Group 3 Facility has
been
completed; (b) delivery to Lessor of paid invoices, receipts or other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, verifying (1) the Capital Project Costs
for
such Capital Project and (2) that Lessee has expended in the applicable Lease
Year an amount in excess of the applicable Annual Minimum Capital Project
Amount
for Capital Projects for such Group 3 Facility; and (c) delivery to Lessor
of
affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence satisfactory to Lessor showing
that
all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might
or
could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished
material or labor to the Leased Property of such Group 3 Facility have been
paid
all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to the Leased Property
of such
Group 3 Facility. Lessor shall not be required to make advances from any
Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period.
Amounts held in the Replacement Reserve for any Group 3 Facility may not
be used
to pay for or reimburse Lessee for Capital Project Costs for any other
Facility.
30
9.3.2 No
Replacement Reserve shall be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but,
at
Lessor's option and in Lessor's discretion, may either be held in a separate
account or be commingled by Lessor with the general funds of Lessor. Lessee
shall not be entitled to any interest on any funds contained in any Replacement
Reserve. The Replacement Reserves are solely for the protection of Lessor
and
the Leased Property of the Group 3 Facilities and entail no responsibility
on
Lessor's part beyond the payment of the respective items for which they are
held
following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance
with
the terms of this Section 9.3 and beyond the allowing of due credit for the
sums
actually received. Upon assignment of this Lease by Lessor, any funds in
any
Replacement Reserve shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility
of Lessor, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate.
9.3.3 If
any funds remain in any Replacement Reserve upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease with respect to any Group 3 Facility, the same
shall
be paid over to Lessor as an Additional Charge and Rent under this Lease
and
shall be in addition to Minimum Rent and all other Additional Charges payable
hereunder.
9.4 Inspections;
Due Diligence Fee. Without limiting Lessor's rights pursuant to Section 26.1
hereof, from time to time during the Term, Lessor and its agents shall have
the
right to inspect the Leased Property and any portion thereof and all systems
contained therein at any reasonable time to determine Lessee's compliance
with
its obligations under this Lease. Lessor shall provide Lessee with at least
two
(2) Business Days' prior written notice prior to any inspections of the Leased
Property pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.4, except in the event of
an
emergency, in which case no prior notice shall be required. Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection
with the inspections provided for in this Section 9.4 promptly following
its
receipt of Lessor's invoice therefore, which costs shall not exceed One Thousand
Dollars ($1,000.00) annually.

enlarge or reduce the size of any Facility.
ARTICLE

contests, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain
and
will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment,

any
Capital Addition thereto or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in
respect of the Rent, excluding, however, (i) this Lease; (ii) the matters

Article XXIV; (vi) liens for Impositions not yet delinquent; (vii) liens
of
mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors for amounts not yet
due;
and (viii) any liens which are the responsibility of Lessor pursuant to the
provisions of Article XXXVI.
ARTICLE
XII.
12.1
Permitted Contests. Lessee, upon prior written notice to Lessor, on its
own or in Lessor's name, at Lessee's expense, may contest, by appropriate
legal
proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity
or application, in whole or in part, of any licensure or certification decision,
Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance, charge or claim; subject, however, to the further requirement
that
(i) in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim, the commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall
suspend the collection thereof from Lessor and from the Leased Property or
any
Capital Addition thereto; (ii) neither the Leased Property or any Capital
Addition thereto, the Rent therefrom nor any part or interest in either thereof
would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost pending
the
outcome of such proceedings; (iii) in the case of a Legal Requirement, neither
Lessor nor Lessee would be in any danger of civil or criminal liability for
failure to comply therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings; (iv)
if any
such contest shall involve a sum of money or potential loss in excess of
Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000), Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and its counsel
an
opinion of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor to the effect set
forth
in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, to the extent applicable; (v) in the
case
of a Legal Requirement, Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge, Lessee shall
give such reasonable security as may be required by Lessor to insure ultimate
payment of the same and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Leased Property
or any Capital Addition thereto or the Rent by reason of such nonpayment
or
noncompliance; and (vi) in the case of an Insurance Requirement, the coverage
required by Article XIII shall be maintained. If any such contest is finally
resolved against Lessor or Lessee, Lessee shall promptly pay the amount required
to be paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon, or
comply
with the applicable Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement. Lessor, at
Lessee's expense, shall execute and deliver to Lessee such authorizations
and
other documents as may reasonably be required in any such contest, and, if
reasonably requested by Lessee or if Lessor so desires, Lessor shall join
as a
party therein. The provisions of this Article XII shall not be construed
to
permit Lessee to contest the payment of Rent or any other amount payable
by
Lessee to Lessor hereunder. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, protect and save
Lessor harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind
that
may be imposed upon Lessor in connection with any such contest and any loss
resulting therefrom.

13.1
General Insurance Requirements. During the Term, Lessee shall at all
times keep the Leased Property, and all property located in or on the Leased
Property, including Capital Additions, the Fixtures and the Personal Property,
insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance described below. Each element
of
insurance described in this Article shall be maintained with respect to the
Leased Property of each Facility, including the Capital Additions, Fixtures,
Personal Property and operations thereon. This insurance shall be written
by
companies authorized to do insurance business in the State in which the Leased
Property is located. All liability type policies must name Lessor as an
"additional insured." All property, loss of rental and business interruption
type policies shall name Lessor as "loss payee." Losses shall be payable
to
Lessor and/or Lessee as provided in Article XIV. In addition, the policies,
as
appropriate, shall name as an "additional insured" or "loss payee" the holder
of
any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement ("Facility Mortgagee")
securing any indebtedness or any other Encumbrance placed on the Leased Property
in accordance with the provisions of Article XXXVI ("Facility Mortgage")
by way
of a standard form of mortgagee's loss payable endorsement. Any loss adjustment
shall require the written consent of Lessor, Lessee, and each Facility
Mortgagee. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Lessor and, if
requested, with any Facility Mortgagee(s). If any provision of any Facility
Mortgage requires deposits of insurance to be made with such Facility Mortgagee,
Lessee shall either pay to Lessor monthly the amounts required and Lessor
shall
transfer such amounts to each Facility Mortgagee, or, pursuant to written
direction by Lessor, Lessee shall make such deposits directly with such Facility
Mortgagee. The policies shall insure against the following risks with respect
to
each Facility:
13.1.1
Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, extended coverage
perils commonly known as special form perils, earthquake (including earth
movement), sinkhole and windstorm in an amount not less than the insurable
value
on a replacement cost basis (as defined below in Section 13.2) and including
a
building ordinance coverage endorsement;
33

payable
hereunder or business interruption in an amount not less than twelve (12)
months
of income and normal operating expenses including payroll and Rent payable
hereunder with an endorsement extending the period of indemnity by at least

Medical professional liability with amounts not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) combined single limit and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000)
in the
annual aggregate, with respect to each Facility.
13.2
Replacement Cost. The term "replacement cost" shall mean the actual
replacement cost of the insured property from time to time with new materials
and workmanship of like kind and quality. If either party believes that the
replacement cost has increased or decreased at any time during the Term,
it
shall have the right to have such replacement cost redetermined by an impartial
national insurance company reasonably acceptable to both parties (the "impartial
appraiser"). The party desiring to have the replacement cost so redetermined
shall forthwith, on receipt of such determination by the impartial appraiser,
give written notice thereof to the other party hereto. The determination
of the
impartial appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and
Lessee
shall forthwith increase or decrease the amount of the insurance carried
pursuant to this Article to the amount so determined by the impartial appraiser.
Each party shall pay one-half (1/2) of the fee, if any, of the impartial
appraiser. If Lessee has made improvements to the Leased Property of any
Facility including any Capital Additions thereto, Lessor may at Lessee's
expense
have the replacement cost redetermined at any time after such improvements
are
made, regardless of when the replacement cost was last determined.
13.3
Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above,
Lessee shall maintain such additional insurance as may be reasonably required
from time to time by any Facility Mortgagee and shall further at all times
maintain adequate workers' compensation coverage and any other coverage required
by Legal Requirements for all Persons employed by Lessee on the Leased Property
of any Facility and any Capital Addition thereto in accordance with Legal
Requirements.
34
13.4
Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance policies carried by either party
covering the Leased Property of any Facility and any Capital Addition thereto
and Lessee's Personal Property including contents, fire and casualty insurance,
shall expressly waive any right of subrogation on the part of the insurer
against the other party. Each party waives any claims it has against the
other
party to the extent such claim is covered by insurance.
13.5
Policy Requirements. All of the policies of insurance referred to in this
Article shall be written in form satisfactory to Lessor and by insurance
companies with a policyholder rating of "A-" and a financial rating of "X"
in
the most recent version of Best's Key Rating Guide. Lessee shall pay all
of the
premiums therefor, and deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor
prior to their effective date (and with respect to any renewal policy, at
least
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing policy), and in
the
event of the failure of Lessee either to effect such insurance in the names
herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver such policies
or certificates thereof to Lessor, at the times required, Lessor shall be
entitled, but shall have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay
the
premiums therefor, in which event the cost thereof, together with interest
thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be repayable to Lessor upon demand therefor.
Each insurer shall agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies issued
by it,
or by independent instrument furnished to Lessor, that it will give to Lessor
thirty (30) days' written notice before the policy or policies in question
shall
be altered, allowed to expire or cancelled. Each policy shall have a deductible
or deductibles, if any, which are no greater than those normally maintained
for
similar facilities in the State.
13.6
Increase in Limits. If either party shall at any time believe the limits
of the insurance required hereunder to be either excessive or insufficient,
the
parties shall endeavor to agree in writing on the proper and reasonable limits
for such insurance to be carried and such insurance shall thereafter be carried
with the limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the provisions
of this Section. If the parties shall be unable to agree thereon, the proper
and
reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried shall be determined by
an
impartial third party reasonably selected by Lessor. Nothing herein shall
permit
the amount of insurance to be reduced below the amount or amounts required
by
any of the Facility Mortgagees.
13.7
Blanket Policies and Policies Covering Multiple Locations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article,
Lessee's
obligations to carry the casualty insurance provided for herein may be brought
within the coverage of a blanket policy or policies of insurance carried
and
maintained by Lessee; provided, however, that the coverage afforded Lessor
will
not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would
exist under a separate policy for each Facility meeting all other requirements
of this Lease by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and
provided further that the requirements of this Article XIII are otherwise
satisfied. For any liability policies covering one or more of the Facilities
or
any other facilities in addition to the Facilities, Lessor may require excess
limits as Lessor reasonably determines.
13.8
No Separate Insurance. Lessee shall not, on Lessee's own initiative or
pursuant to the request or requirement of any third party, (i) take out separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required in this Article to be furnished by, or which may reasonably be required
to be furnished by, Lessee or (ii) increase the amounts of any then existing
insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless
all
parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance,
including in all cases Lessor and all Facility Mortgagees, are included therein
as additional insured and the loss is payable under such insurance in the
same
manner as losses are payable under this Lease. Lessee shall immediately notify
Lessor of the taking out of any such separate insurance or of the increasing
of
any of the amounts of the then existing insurance by securing an additional
policy or additional policies.

14.1
Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage
to the Leased Property, any Capital Additions or any part(s) or portion(s)
thereof, under any policy of insurance required to be carried hereunder shall
be
paid to Lessor and made available by Lessor to Lessee from time to time for
the
reasonable costs of reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any
damage
to or destruction of the Leased Property, any Capital Additions or any part(s)
or portion(s) thereof. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the
completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property and
any
Capital Additions (or in the event neither Lessor nor Lessee is required
or
elects to repair and restore, all such insurance proceeds) shall be retained
by
Lessor except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV.
All
salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to
Lessor.
14.2
Insured Casualty.
14.2.1
If
the Leased Property and/or any Capital Additions of a Facility are damaged
or
destroyed from a risk covered by insurance carried by Lessee such that such
Facility thereby is rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee
shall either (i) restore such Leased Property and such Capital Additions
to
substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage
or
destruction and Lessor shall, pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1 above,
make
available to Lessee from time to time the insurance proceeds received by
Lessor
on account of such damage or destruction to the extent necessary for the
reasonable costs of such restoration, or (ii) offer to acquire the Leased
Property of such Facility from Lessor for a purchase price equal to (x) with
respect to any Group 1 Facility, the greater of (1) the Minimum Repurchase
Price
for such Facility and (2) Lessor's Shared Appreciation Purchase Price for
such
Facility immediately prior to such damage or destruction, (y) with respect
to
any Group 2 Facility, the greater of (1) the Minimum Repurchase Price for
such
Facility and (2) the Fair Market Value of such Facility immediately prior
to
such damage or destruction, and (z) with respect to any Group 3 Facility,
the
Group 3 Facility Purchase Price for such Facility immediately prior to such
damage or destruction. If Lessor does not accept Lessee's offer to so purchase
the Leased Property of such Facility, Lessee may either withdraw such offer
and
proceed to restore the Leased Property of such Facility to substantially
the
same condition as existed immediately before such damage or destruction or
terminate the Lease in which event Lessor shall be entitled to retain the
insurance proceeds.
36
14.2.2
If the Leased Property and/or any Capital
Additions of a Facility are damaged from a risk covered by insurance carried
by
Lessee, but such Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary
Intended Use, Lessee shall restore such Leased Property and such Capital
Additions to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before
such
damage and Lessor shall, pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1 above, make
available to Lessee from time to time the insurance proceeds received by
Lessor
on account of such damage or destruction to the extent necessary for the
reasonable costs of such restoration. Such damage shall not terminate this
Lease; provided, however, that if Lessee cannot within a reasonable time
after
diligent efforts obtain the necessary government approvals needed to restore
and
operate such Facility for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee may offer to purchase
the Leased Property of such Facility for a purchase price equal to (i) with
respect to any Group 1 Facility, the greater of (a) the Minimum Repurchase
Price
for such Facility and (b) Lessor's Shared Appreciation Purchase Price for
such
Facility immediately prior to such damage, (ii) with respect to any Group
2
Facility, the greater of (a) the Minimum Repurchase Price of such Facility
and
(b) the Fair Market Value of such Facility immediately prior to such damage,
and
(iii) with respect to any Group 3 Facility, the Group 3 Facility Purchase
Price
for such Facility immediately prior to such damage. If Lessee shall make
such
offer and Lessor does not accept the same, Lessee may either (A) withdraw
such
offer and proceed to restore the Leased Property of such Facility to
substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage
or
destruction and in such event Lessor shall, pursuant to the terms of Section
14.1 above, make available to Lessee from time to time the insurance proceeds
received by Lessor on account of such damage or destruction to the extent
necessary for the reasonable costs of such restoration, or (B) terminate
the
Lease with respect to such Facility, in which event Lessor shall be entitled
to
retain the insurance proceeds.
14.2.3
If
the cost of the repair or restoration of a Facility exceeds the amount of
proceeds received by Lessor from the insurance required to be carried hereunder,
Lessee shall contribute any excess amounts needed to restore such Facility.
Such
difference shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor together with any other insurance
proceeds, for application to the cost of repair and restoration.
14.2.4
If
Lessor accepts Lessee's offer to purchase the Leased Property of a Facility,
this Lease shall terminate as to such Facility upon payment of the purchase
price and Lessor shall remit to Lessee all insurance proceeds pertaining
to the
Leased Property of such Facility then held by Lessor.
14.3
Uninsured Casualty. If the Leased Property and/or any Capital Additions
of a Facility is damaged or destroyed from a risk not covered by insurance
carried by Lessee, whether or not such damage or destruction renders such
Facility Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee at its expense shall
restore the Leased Property of such Facility to substantially the same condition
it was in immediately before such damage or destruction and such damage or
destruction shall not terminate this Lease.
14.4
No Abatement of Rent. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect
and Lessee's obligation to pay the Rent and all other charges required by
this
Lease shall remain unabated during the period required for adjusting insurance,
satisfying Legal Requirements, repair and restoration.
37
14.5
Waiver. Lessee waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise
by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property and/or any
Capital
Additions.

Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use shall belong to and be paid to Lessor,
subject to Lessor's obligations pursuant to Section 15.1.3 above.
15.1.5
Temporary Taking. The taking of the Leased Property, any Capital
Additions and/or any part(s) thereof, shall constitute a taking by Condemnation
only when the use and occupancy by the taking authority has continued for
longer

taking, all the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
and the Award allocable to the Term shall be paid to Lessee.
38
15.1.6
Sale Under Threat of Condemnation. A sale by Lessor to any Condemnor,
either under threat of Condemnation or while Condemnation proceedings are

without any obligation to Lessee, agree to sell and/or convey to any Condemnor
all or any portion of the Leased Property free from this Lease and the rights
of
Lessee hereunder without first requiring that any action or proceeding be
instituted or pursued to judgment; provided, however, that Lessor shall provide

16.2 Certain
Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Lessor may terminate
this Lease with respect to the Facility from which such Event of Default
emanated, if any, and any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor)
of the Facilities, regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated
primarily from a single Facility, by giving Lessee notice of such termination
and the Term shall terminate and all rights of Lessee under this Lease shall
cease with respect to all such Facilities as to which Lessor has elected
to so
terminate this Lease. Lessor shall have all rights at law and in equity
available to Lessor as a result of any Event of Default. Lessee shall pay
as
Additional Charges all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lessor,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, as a result of any Event
of
Default hereunder. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
whether or not this Lease has been terminated with respect to any one or
more
(including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Facilities pursuant to this
Section 16.2, Lessee shall, to the extent permitted by law, if required by
Lessor so to do, immediately surrender to Lessor possession of the Leased
Property and any Capital Additions of the Facilities as to which Lessor has
so
elected to terminate this Lease and quit the same and Lessor may enter upon
and
repossess such Leased Property and such Capital Addition thereto by reasonable
force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Lessee
and
all other Persons and any of Lessee's Personal Property from such Leased
Property and such Capital Addition thereto.
41
16.3
Damages. (i) The repossession of the Leased Property and any Capital
Additions of any Facility; (ii) the failure of Lessor, notwithstanding
reasonable good faith efforts, to relet the Leased Property or any portion
thereof; (iii) the reletting of all or any portion of the Leased Property;
or
(iv) the failure or inability of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals
due
upon any such reletting, shall not relieve Lessee of its liabilities and
obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such repossession or
reletting. In addition, the termination of this Lease with respect to any
one or
more of the Facilities shall not relieve Lessee of its liabilities and
obligations hereunder with respect to such terminated Facility(ies) that
are
intended to survive the termination of this Lease, including, without
limitation, the obligations set forth in this Section 16.3, and Sections
16.5,
16.9, 23, 37.4 and 45.1.6. If any such termination occurs, Lessee shall
forthwith pay to Lessor all Rent due and payable with respect to the Facility
terminated to and including the date of such termination. Thereafter following
any such termination, Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor, at Lessor's option,
as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for an Event of Default
by
Lessee, the sum of:
(i) the
worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the
time
of termination with respect to the terminated Facility,
(ii) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would
have been earned after termination with respect to the terminated Facility
until
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves
could have been reasonably avoided,
(iii) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the
balance of the Term for the terminated Facility after the time of award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided,
plus
(iv) any
other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately
caused by Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or
which
in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom.
As
used
in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be
computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate. As used in clause (iii)
above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting
such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
at the
time of award plus One Percent (1%). Alternatively, if Lessor does not elect
to
terminate this Lease, then without termination of Lessee's right to possession
of the Leased Property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, at Lessor's option, as
and
for agreed damages for such Event of Default, each installment of said Rent
and
other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under the Lease as the same becomes
due
and payable, together with interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when
due
until paid, and Lessor may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term
or
covenant of this Lease.
42
16.4
Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and upon
commencement of proceedings to enforce the rights of Lessor hereunder, Lessor
shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver
or
receivers acceptable to Lessor of the Leased Property and any Capital Addition
thereto of the revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof,
pending
the outcome of such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such
appointment shall confer.
16.5
Lessee's Obligation to Purchase. Upon the occurrence of a Put Event with
respect to any Facility, Lessor shall be entitled to require Lessee to purchase
the Leased Property of such Facility on the first Minimum Rent Payment Date
occurring not less than thirty (30) days after the date specified in a notice
from Lessor requiring such purchase for an amount equal to (i)
with
respect to any Group 1 Facility, the greater of (a) the Minimum Repurchase
Price
for such Facility and (b) Lessor's Shared Appreciation Purchase Price for
such
Facility, (ii) with respect to any Group 2 Facility, the greater of (a) the
Minimum Repurchase Price of such Facility and (b) the Fair Market Value of
such
Facility and (iii) with respect to any Group 3 Facility, the Group 3 Facility
Put Event Price for such Facility, plus, in either event, all Rent then due
and
payable (excluding the installment of Minimum Rent due on the purchase date)
with respect to such Facility. If Lessor exercises such right, Lessor shall
convey the Leased Property of such Facility to Lessee on the date fixed therefor
in accordance with the provisions of Article XVIII upon receipt of the purchase
price therefor and this Lease shall thereupon terminate with respect to such
Facility. Any purchase by Lessee of the Leased Property of a Facility pursuant
to this Section shall be in lieu of the damages specified in Section 16.3
with
respect to such Facility.
16.6
Waiver. If Lessor initiates judicial proceedings or if this Lease is
terminated by Lessor pursuant to this Article with respect to a Facility,
Lessee
waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption,
re-entry or repossession; and (ii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter
in
force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.
16.7
Application of Funds. Any payments received by Lessor under any of the
provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event
of
Default which are made to Lessor rather than Lessee due to the existence
of an
Event of Default shall be applied to Lessee's obligations in the order which
Lessor may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the
State.
16.8
Facility Operating Deficiencies. On notice or request therefor by Lessor
to Lessee, upon the occurrence of a Facility Operating Deficiency specified
with
particularity in Lessor's notice, and for a period equal to the greater of
six
(6) months or the time necessary fully to remedy the Facility Operating
Deficiency, Lessee shall engage the services of a management company,
unaffiliated with Lessee and approved by Lessor, to assume responsibility
for
management of the applicable Facility for the purpose of taking all steps
reasonably necessary to remedy the Facility Operating Deficiency(ies). Pursuant
to a written agreement among the management company, Lessee and Lessor, the
management company will have complete responsibility for operation of the
applicable Facility, subject to Lessee's retaining only such power and authority
as shall be required by the State as the minimum level of power and authority
to
be possessed by the licensed operator of a facility of the type of such Facility
in the State. The management company shall provide the following
services:
43
(a) furnish
an on-site, full-time licensed administrator and controller approved by Lessor
who shall be an employee of the management company;
(b) take
all steps reasonably necessary to keep such Facility fully licensed by the
State, certified as a provider under applicable government reimbursement
programs and duly accredited by applicable agencies and bodies;
(c) perform
all of Lessee's obligations hereunder with respect to maintenance and repair
of
such Facility;
(d) conduct
at the onset of the management company's engagement, and monthly thereafter,
reviews and/or audits of Facility operations in at least the following
departments and services: patient and resident care, activities and therapy,
dietary, medical records, drugs and medicines, supplies, housekeeping and
maintenance, and report the results of such reviews and/or audits in writing
to
Lessor no later than five (5) days after the end of each calendar
month;
(e) immediately
upon receipt thereof, deliver to Lessor by overnight courier copies of all
communications received from any regulatory agency with respect to such
Facility; and
(f) with
respect to the Facility Operating Deficiency(ies) which gave rise to the
request
to Lessee to engage the management company, prepare and deliver to Lessor
within
five (5) days after the commencement of the management company's
responsibilities at such Facility a comprehensive written report of the nature
and extent of the Facility Operating Deficiency(ies) and advise Lessor orally
by
telephone no later than noon local time on each Friday thereafter as to steps
being taken by the management company to remedy the same and the status of
any
threatened or actual governmental administrative action with respect
thereto.
The
management company shall have complete access to such Facility, its records,
offices and facilities, in order that it may carry out its duties. If Lessee
shall fail to designate a management company acceptable to Lessor within
five
(5) days after receipt of the notice of request therefor, Lessor may designate
such management company by further notice to Lessee. Lessee shall be responsible
for payment of all fees and expenses reasonably charged and incurred by the
management company in carrying out its duties, provided that the management
fee
chargeable by a management company designated by Lessor, as hereinabove
provided, shall not exceed Seven Percent (7%) of Gross
Revenues.
44
16.9
Lessor's Right of Appraisal. Without limiting any other right or remedy
of Lessor hereunder, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
with respect to any Facility, and whether or not Lessor has ever declared
or
given notice to Lessee of an Event of Default, Lessor shall have the right
to
conduct an appraisal of the Leased Property and all Capital Additions of
such
Facility in accordance with the appraisal procedures set forth in Article
XXXIV
in order to determine the negative value, if any, upon the Fair Market Value
by
reason of any of the following (the "Negative FMV"): (a) any deferred
maintenance or other items of repair or replacement of the Leased Property
which
Lessee has failed to perform or observe in accordance with the terms of this
Lease; (b) any then current or prior licensure or certification violations
and/or admission holds; and/or (c) any other breach or failure of Lessee
to
perform or observe its obligations under this Lease; and/or (d) the occupancy
level and/or resident mix, patient mix, case mix, or diagnostic related group
or
acuity mix, as applicable, of such Facility as of the date of termination
as
compared to the average occupancy level or mix of facilities similar to such
Facility and in the same general geographic location. In the event of any
such
Negative FMV, the cash value thereof, together with the costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor in connection with the appraisal procedures pursuant to
Article XXXIV, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon demand as an Additional
Charge hereunder; provided, however, that (i) if a Replacement Reserve exists
for such Facility, the amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder on account
of Negative FMV for such Facility shall first be reduced by the amounts held
by
Lessor in such Replacement Reserve for such Facility and (ii) Lessee shall
not
be obligated to pay to Lessor the cash value of any Negative FMV for any
Facility if it is determined pursuant to this Section 16.9 that the amount
of
such Negative FMV for such Facility is less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00). If it is deteimined pursuant to this Section 16.9 that the
amount
of the Negative FMV of any Facility is equal to or greater than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), the entire cash value of such Negative FMV
(less
any amounts, if any, held by Lessor in a Replacement Reserve for such Facility)
shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon demand as an Additional Charge hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 16.9,
in no
event shall the provisions of clause (ii) above be deemed to limit any of
Lessor's rights or remedies hereunder with respect to the matters described
in
clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, except to the extent relating to Lessor's
right to receive the cash value of the Negative FMV for the applicable Facility.
The obligation of Lessee to pay such amount, if any, shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any such
Facility.
16.10
Lessor's Security Interest. The parties intend that if an Event of
Default occurs under this Lease, Lessor will control Lessee's Personal Property
and the Intangible Property so that Lessor or its designee or nominee can
operate or re-let each Facility intact for its Primary Intended Use.
Accordingly, to implement such intention, and for the purpose of securing
the
payment and performance obligations of Lessee hereunder, Lessor and Lessee
agree
as follows:
16.10.1
Lessee, as debtor, hereby grants to Lessor, as secured party, a security
interest and an express contractual lien upon all of Lessee's right, title
and
interest in and to Lessee's Personal Property and in and to the Intangible
Property and any and all products, rents, proceeds and profits thereof in
which
Lessee now owns or hereafter acquires an interest or right, including any
leased
Lessee's Personal Property (collectively, the "Collateral"). This Lease
constitutes a security agreement covering all such Collateral. The security
interest granted to Lessor with respect to Lessee's Personal Property in
this
Section 16.10 is intended by Lessor and Lessee to be subordinate to any security
interest granted in connection with the financing or leasing of all or any
portion of the Lessee's Personal Property so long as the lessor or financier
of
such Lessee's Personal Property agrees to give Lessor written notice of any
default by Lessee under the terms of such lease or financing arrangement,
to
give Lessor a reasonable time following such notice to cure any such default
and
consents to Lessor's written assumption of such lease or financing arrangement
upon Lessor's curing of any such defaults. This security agreement and the
security interest created herein shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease with respect to any or all of the
Facilities.
45
16.10.2
Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to file such financing statements, continuation
statements and other documents as may be necessary or desirable to perfect
or
continue the perfection of Lessor's security interest in the Collateral.
In
addition, if required by Lessor at any time during the Term, Lessee shall
execute and deliver to Lessor, in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor,
additional security agreements, financing statements, fixture filings and
such
other documents as Lessor may reasonably require to perfect or continue the
perfection of Lessor's security interest in the Collateral. In the event
Lessee
fails to execute any financing statement or other documents for the perfection
or continuation of Lessor's security interest, Lessee hereby appoints Lessor
as
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on its
behalf, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and is deemed to be
coupled
with an interest.
16.10.3
Lessee will give Lessor at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of
any
change in Lessee's name, identity, jurisdiction of organization or corporate
structure. With respect to any such change, Lessee will promptly execute
and
deliver such instruments, documents and notices and take such actions, as
Lessor
deems necessary or desirable to create, perfect and protect the security
interests of Lessor in the Collateral.
16.10.4
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise
any and all rights or remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code, or available to a lessor under the laws of the State, with
respect to Lessee's Personal Property and the Intangible Property, including
the
right to sell the same at public or private sale.

17.1
Lessor's Right to Cure Lessee's Default. If Lessee shall fail to make any
payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder,
upon
at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice (except in the event of an
emergency, in which case no prior notice shall be required) Lessor, without
waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may, but shall be under no
obligation to, 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
Leased Property and any Capital Addition thereto for such purpose and take
all
such action thereon as, in Lessor's opinion, may be necessary or appropriate
therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so
paid
by Lessor and all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon 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.

Purchase of the Leased Property; Rights of Lessee Prior to
Closing.
18.1.1
Generally. If Lessee purchases the Leased Property of any Facility from
Lessor pursuant to any provision of this Lease, Lessor shall, upon receipt
from
Lessee of the applicable purchase price, together with full payment of any
unpaid Rent due and payable with respect to any period ending on or before
the
date of the purchase, deliver to Lessee an appropriate deed or other conveyance
conveying the entire interest of Lessor in and to such Leased Property to
Lessee
free and clear of all encumbrances other than (i) those that Lessee has agreed
hereunder to pay or discharge; (ii) those mortgage liens, if any, which Lessee
has agreed in writing to accept and to take title subject to; (iii) those
liens
and encumbrances which were in effect on the date of conveyance of such Leased
Property to Lessor; and (iv) any other encumbrances permitted hereunder to
be
imposed on such Leased Property which are assumable at no cost to Lessee
or to
which Lessee may take subject without cost to Lessee. The difference between
the
applicable purchase price and the total of the encumbrances assumed or taken
subject to shall be paid to Lessor or as Lessor may direct in immediately
available funds. All expenses of such conveyance, including the cost of title
insurance, attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in connection with such conveyance
and release, transfer taxes and recording and escrow fees, shall be paid
by
Lessee.
18.1.2
Rights of Lessee Prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, or at law or in equity, if Lessee exercises any right
or
option of Lessee to purchase or acquire the Leased Property of any Facility
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease, or Lessor shall exercise
its
right to require Lessee to purchase the Lease Property of any Facility pursuant
to Section 16.5 hereof (herein, a "Purchase Right/Obligation Exercise"),
the
following shall pertain:
(a) Such
Purchase Right/Obligation Exercise (and any purchase or other separate contract
formed upon such Purchase Right/Obligation Exercise) shall not under any
circumstances cause a termination of this Lease, and this Lease shall remain
in
full force and effect to and until the consummation of the closing in accordance
with the terms thereof;
(b) Lessee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lessee shall not under any circumstances
be
entitled to possession of the Leased Property of any Facility under the terms
of
any purchase or other separate contract formed upon such Purchase
Right/Obligation Exercise until the closing thereof, and that Lessee's
possession of the Leased Property of such Facility shall be solely by way
of
this Lease;
(c) In
no event
shall Lessee be deemed a vendee in possession; and
47
(d) In
the event that an Event of Default shall occur at anytime during the period
from
such Purchase Right/Obligation Exercise to and until closing, Lessor shall
be
entitled to exercise any and all rights or remedies available to a landlord
against a defaulting tenant, whether at law or equity, including those set
forth
in Article XVI hereof, and specifically including the right to recover
possession of the Leased Property of such Facility through summary proceedings
(such as unlawful detainer or other similar action permitted by law), and
in no
event shall Lessor be required to bring an action for ejectment or any other
similar non-expedited proceeding.

19.1
Renewal Terms. With respect to each Facility, provided that no Event of
Default, or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute
an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, either at the date of
exercise or upon the commencement of an Extended Term (as hereunder defined),
then Lessee shall have the right to renew this Lease with respect to all
(but
not less than all) of the Facilities in a Renewal Group for the Extended
Term
set forth on Exhibit C upon giving written notice to Lessor of such
renewal not less than twenty-four (24) months and not more than twenty-seven
(27) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term, and delivering
to
Lessor concurrent with such notice a reaffirmation of the Guaranty executed
by
Guarantor stating, in substance, that Guarantor's obligations under the Guaranty
shall extend to this Lease, as extended by the Extended Term. With respect
to
each Facility, during each Extended Term, all of the terms and conditions
of
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 19.1, (i) subject to the terms of
clause (ii) below, Lessee may exercise its right to renew the Term of this
Lease
with respect to less than all of the Facilities in the Renewal Group of which
the Group 1 Facilities are a part so long as Lessee concurrently therewith
exercises its purchase option with respect to the balance of such Group 1
Facilities in the manner and within the time provided in Article XXXV below,
(ii) Lessee may only exercise its right to renew the Term of this Lease for
a
Group 1 Facility for the Extended Term if, and only if, such Group 1 Facility
has an average Cash Flow Coverage of not less than 1.5 for the period of
twenty-four (24) months immediately preceding Lessee's exercise of its option
to
renew hereunder and (iii) Lessor, in its sole discretion, may waive the
condition to Lessee's right to renew this Lease that no Event of Default,
or
event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event
of
Default, have occurred or be continuing, and the same may not be used by
Lessee
as a means to negate the effectiveness of Lessee's exercise of its renewal
right
for such Extended Term.
19.2
Lessor's Rights of Renewal and Early Termination. In order to facilitate
the transfer of the operations of each Facility to a third party and/or to
locate a replacement lessee, Lessor shall have the one time right to either
(i)
terminate this Lease with respect to any such Facility up to four (4) months
early or (ii) extend the Term of this Lease with respect to any such Facility
for up to one (1) year. Such right of early termination shall be exercised
by
Lessor, if at all, by written notice from Lessor to Lessee given not less
than
sixty (60) days prior to the date Lessor desires to terminate this Lease
with
respect to any such Facility and stating the date of such termination (which
date shall not be earlier than four (4) months prior to the expiration of
the
Term). In the event that Lessor shall exercise such right of early termination
within the time and in the manner herein provided, this Lease shall terminate
with respect to the applicable Facility on the date of termination specified
in
Lessor's notice. Such right of extension shall be exercised by Lessor, if
at
all, by written notice from Lessor to Lessee given not less than four (4)
months
prior to the expiration of the Term with respect to such Facility and stating
the date through which Lessor is extending the Term of this Lease with respect
to such Facility (which date shall not be later than one (1) year after the
originally scheduled expiration date). In the event that Lessor shall exercise
such right of extension, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to such Facility and Lessee
shall
continue to pay Rent for and during such extension period at the same Minimum
Rent rates as were in effect upon the expiration of the originally scheduled
Term for such Facility; provided, however, that Lessor shall have the right
to
terminate this Lease with respect to any such Facility during any such extension
period upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to Lessee.
In
such event, this Lease, as previously extended, shall terminate with respect
to
such Facility upon the date specified in Lessor's notice of
termination.

20.1
Holding Over. Except as provided in Section 19.2, if Lessee shall for any
reason remain in possession of the Leased Property and/or any Capital Additions
of a Facility after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such
possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant during which time Lessee shall
pay as Minimum Rent each month twice the sum of (i) monthly Minimum Rent
applicable to the prior Lease Year for such Facility, plus (ii) all Additional
Charges and all other sums payable by Lessee pursuant to this Lease. During
such
period of month-to-month tenancy, Lessee shall be obligated to perform and
observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall
have
no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to
month-to-month tenancies, to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased
Property and/or any Capital Additions of such Facility. 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.

21.1
Letters of Credit. Subject to Section 31.2.4 below, during the entire
Term and for sixty (60) days after the expiration or earlier termination
of this
Lease, Lessee shall have obtained letters of credit from a financial institution
satisfactory to Lessor but in any event with (a) not less than $100 Million
in
net current assets, (b) a financial rating of not less than 60 as rated by
Sheshonoff Information Services, Inc. (or any equivalent rating thereto from
any
successor or substitute rating service selected by Lessor) and (c) an investment
grade rating from each of Standard and Poors Corporation and Xxxxx'x Investors
Service, naming Lessor as beneficiary to secure Lessee's obligations hereunder
and Lessee's and any Affiliate of Lessee's obligations under any other lease
or
other agreement or instrument with or in favor of Lessor or any Affiliate
of
Lessor, at the times, in the amounts and for the purposes set forth below.
Each
letter of credit shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto.
Each letter of credit shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year and
irrevocable during that term. Each letter of credit shall provide that it
will
be honored upon a signed statement by Lessor that Lessor is entitled to draw
upon any letter of credit under this Lease, and shall require no signature
or
statement from any party other than Lessor. No notice to Lessee shall be
required to enable Lessor to draw upon the letter of credit. Each letter
of
credit shall also provide that following the honor of any drafts in an amount
less than the aggregate amount of the letter of credit, the financial
institution shall return the original letter of credit to Lessor and Lessor's
rights as to the remaining amount of the letter of credit will not be
extinguished. In the event of a transfer of Lessor's interest in the Leased
Property, Lessor shall have the right to transfer the letter of credit to
the
transferee and thereupon shall, without any further agreement between the
parties, be released by Lessee from all liability therefor, and it is agreed
that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of
the
letter of credit to a new Lessor. The letter of credit may be assigned as
security in connection with a Facility Mortgage. If the financial institution
from which Lessee has obtained a letter of credit shall admit in writing
its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition
in
bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors consent to the appointment of
a
receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property,
or
file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the
Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United
States of America or any state thereof, then Lessee shall obtain a replacement
letter of credit within thirty (30) days of such act from another financial
institution satisfactory to Lessor.
49
21.2
Times for Obtaining Letters of Credit. The initial letter of credit shall
be obtained and delivered to Lessor on or prior to the execution and delivery
of
this Lease. The letters of credit covering subsequent periods shall be obtained
and delivered to Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of the then existing letter of credit ("Letter of Credit Date"). The term
for
each such letter of credit shall begin no later than the expiration date
of the
previous letter of credit and shall comply with all requirements of this
Article
XXI.
21.3
Amounts for Letters of Credit. Letters of credit covering each Lease Year
during the term shall be in an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the aggregate
annual Allocated Minimum Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease for each
of the
Group 2 Facilities for the applicable Lease Year (the "Letter of Credit
Amount").
21.4
Uses of Letters of Credit. Lessor shall have the right to draw upon a
letter of credit up to its full amount whenever (a) an Event of Default
hereunder has occurred, (b) an event of default under any other lease or
agreement between Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor and Lessee or an Affiliate
of
Lessee or under any other letter of credit, guaranty, mortgage, deed of trust,
or other instrument now or hereafter executed by Lessee or an Affiliate of
Lessee in favor of Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor has occurred or (c) an
event
or circumstance has occurred which with notice or passage of time, or both,
would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or an event of default under
any
such other lease, agreement, letter of credit, guaranty, mortgage, deed of
trust
or other instrument, notwithstanding that transmittal of any such notice
may be
barred by applicable law. In addition, if Lessee fails to obtain a satisfactory
letter of credit prior to the applicable Letter of Credit Date, Lessor may
draw
upon the full amount of the then existing letter of credit without giving
any
notice or time to cure to Lessee. No such draw shall (i) cure or constitute
a
waiver of an Event of Default, (ii) be deemed to fix or determine the amounts
to
which Lessor is entitled to recover under this Lease or otherwise, or (iii)
be
deemed to limit or waive Lessor's right to pursue any remedies provided for
in
this Lease. If all or any portion of a letter of credit is drawn against
by
Lessor, Lessee shall, within two (2) business days after demand by Lessor,
cause
the issuer of such letter of credit to issue Lessor, at Lessee's expense,
a
replacement or supplementary letter of credit in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit D such that at all times during the Term, Lessor shall
have the ability to draw on one or more letters of credit totaling, in the
aggregate, the amount required pursuant to Section 21.3.

Risk of Loss. The risk of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment and
beneficial use of the Leased Property and any Capital Additions as a 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 Persons claiming from, through or
under

General Indemnification. In addition to the other indemnities contained
herein, and notwithstanding the existence of any insurance carried by or
for the
benefit of Lessor or Lessee, and without regard to the policy limits of any
such
insurance, Lessee shall protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessor
from
and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes
of
action, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys', consultants'
and
experts' fees and expenses, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against
Lessor by reason of: (i) any accident, injury to or death of Persons or loss
of
or damage to property occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining
sidewalks; (ii) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance or repair
by
Lessee of the Leased Property; (iii) any failure on the part of Lessee to
perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease; (iv) the
nonperformance of any of the terms and provisions of any and all existing
and future subleases of the Leased Property to be performed by any party
thereunder; (v) any claim for malpractice, negligence or misconduct committed
by
any Person on or working from the Leased Property; and (vi) the violation
of any
Legal Requirement. Any amounts which become payable by Lessee under this
Article
shall be paid within ten (10) days after liability therefor is determined
by
litigation or otherwise, and if not timely paid shall bear interest at the
Overdue Rate from the date of such determination to the date of payment.
Lessee,
at its sole cost and expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim,
action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Lessor or may compromise
or
otherwise dispose of the same as Lessee sees fit; provided, however, that
any
legal counsel selected by Lessee to defend Lessor shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor. All indemnification covenants are intended to apply
to
losses, damages, injuries, claims, etc. incurred directly by the indemnified
parties and their property, as well as by the indemnifying party or any third
party, and their property. For purposes of this Article XXIII, any acts or
omissions of Lessee, or by employees, agents, assignees, contractors,
subcontractors or others acting for or on behalf of Lessee (whether or not
they
are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful), shall be strictly attributable
to Lessee. It is understood and agreed that payment shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcement of the foregoing indemnification
obligations.

Transfers.
24.1.1 Prohibition.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 24.1.10, 24.1.11, 24.1.12 and 24.1.13
below, Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent, which consent
may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, either directly or indirectly
or
through one or more step transactions or tiered transactions, voluntarily
or by
operation of law, (i) assign, convey, sell, pledge, mortgage, hypothecate
or
otherwise encumber, transfer or dispose of all or any part of this Lease
or
Lessee's leasehold estate hereunder, (ii) Master Sublease all or any part
of the
Leased Property and/or any Capital Additions of any Facility, (iii) engage
the
services of any Person that is not an Affiliate of Lessee for the management
or
operation of more than ten percent (10%) of the Leased Property and/or any
Capital Additions of any Facility, (iv) convey, sell, assign, transfer or
dispose of any stock or partnership, membership or other interests (whether
equity or otherwise) in Lessee (which shall include any conveyance, sale,
assignment, transfer or disposition of any stock or partnership, membership
or
other interests (whether equity or otherwise) in any Controlling Person(s)),
if
such conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer or disposition results, directly
or
indirectly, in a change in control of Lessee (or in any Controlling Person(s)),
(v) dissolve, merge or consolidate Lessee (which shall include any dissolution,
merger or consolidation of any Controlling Person) with any other Person,
if
such dissolution, merger or consolidation, directly or indirectly, results
in a
change in control of Lessee or in any Controlling Person(s), (vi) sell, convey,
assign, or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee
(which shall include any sale, conveyance, assignment, or other transfer
of all
or substantially all of the assets of any Controlling Person) or (vii) enter
into or permit to be entered into any agreement or arrangement to do any
of the
foregoing (each of the aforesaid acts referred to in clauses (i) through
(vii)
being referred to herein as a "Transfer"). Any Occupancy Arrangement with
respect to more than Ten Percent (10%) of any Facility in the aggregate to
any
Person and/or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, or through one or more
step transactions or tiered transactions, shall be deemed to be a "Master
Sublease" hereunder. For any Occupancy Arrangement transaction not requiring
the
consent of Lessor hereunder (i.e., an Occupancy Arrangement not constituting
a
Master Sublease or an engagement of a Person and/or its Affiliates, directly
or
indirectly, to manage not more than ten percent (10%) of any Facility), Lessee
shall, within ten (10) days of entering into any such Occupancy Arrangement
or
management engagement, notify Lessor of the existence of such Occupancy
Arrangement or management engagement and the identity of the Occupant or
manager, as the case may be, and supply Lessor with a copy of the agreement
relating to such Occupancy Arrangement or management engagement and any other
related documentation, materials or information reasonably requested by Lessor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Lease to the
contrary, Lessee acknowledges that it is Lessor's practice not to permit
hypothecations or pledges of leasehold interests by its lessees. Accordingly,
Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor shall have the right to approve or disapprove
of any such hypothecation or pledge of the leasehold estate created hereby
by
Lessee in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, and if Lessor shall approve
the
same Lessor shall be entitled to impose such conditions in connection therewith
as Lessor deems appropriate.

Consent.
24.1.2.1 Subject
to the provisions of Sections 24.1.10, 24.1.11, 24.1.12 and 24.1.13 below,
prior
to any Transfer, Lessee shall first notify Lessor of its desire to do so
and
shall submit in writing to Lessor: (a) the name of the proposed Occupant,
assignee, manager or other transferee; (b) the terms and provisions of the
Transfer, including any agreements in connection therewith; and (c) such
financial information as Lessor reasonably may request concerning the proposed
Occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee. Except as otherwise provided
in
Sections 24.1.10, 24.1.11, 24.1.12 or 24.1.13 below, Lessor may, as a condition
to granting such consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld
or
delayed, and in addition to any other reasonable conditions imposed by Lessor,
require that the obligations of any Occupant, assignee, manager or other
transferee which is an Affiliate of another Person be guaranteed by its parent
or Controlling Person and, except as expressly set forth in Section 24.1.3
below, that any Guaranty of this Lease be reaffirmed by the applicable Guarantor
notwithstanding such Transfer. In exercising its right of reasonable approval
or
disapproval to a proposed Transfer, Lessor shall be entitled to take into
account any fact or factor which Lessor reasonably deems relevant to such
decision, including the following, all of which are agreed to be reasonable
factors for Lessor's consideration:
(i) The
financial strength of the proposed Occupant, assignee, manager or other
transferee, including the adequacy of its working capital. In connection
with a
Transfer resulting from a merger or consolidation to which Summerville Senior
Living, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SSL") is a party, Lessor shall be
entitled to compare the Consolidated Net Worth and debt to equity ratio of
the
surviving party following the effectiveness of such event as compared to
the
Consolidated Net Worth and debt to equity ratio of Guarantor prior to such
event.
(ii) The
operating experience of the proposed Occupant, assignee, manager or other
transferee with respect to businesses of the nature, type and size of the
applicable Facility.
(iii) The
quality and reputation of the proposed Occupant, assignee, manager or other
transferee.
(iv) Whether
such Transfer will cause a breach or violation of any material agreements
to
which Lessee or any Controlling Person is a party.
(v) Whether
there then exists any Event of Default by Lessee pursuant to this
Lease.
Moreover,
Lessor shall be entitled to be reasonably satisfied that each and every
covenant, condition or obligation imposed upon Lessee by this Lease and each
and
every right, remedy or benefit afforded Lessor by this Lease is not impaired
or
diminished by such Transfer. No withholding of consent by Lessor for any
reason
deemed sufficient by Lessor shall give rise to any claim by Lessee or any
other
Person or entitle Lessee to terminate this Lease or to any abatement of
Rent.
53
24.1.2.2
In connection with any Transfer, Lessor shall be entitled to receive the
applicable Transfer Consideration, if any.
24.1.2.3
The consent by Lessor to any Transfer shall not constitute a consent to any
subsequent Transfer or to any subsequent or successive Transfer. Any purported
or attempted Transfer contrary to the provisions of this Article shall be
void
and, at the option of Lessor, shall terminate this Lease.
24.1.3
Release of Existing Lessee and Guarantor Upon Certain Transfers.
Upon the consummation of any Transfer by Lessee that (a) constitutes
an
assignment of Lessee's interest in this Lease, (b) requires Lessor's prior
written consent pursuant to the terms of this Article XXIV, and (c) receives
such prior written consent by Lessor, Lessor shall release Lessee and Guarantor
from all obligations arising under this Lease and the Guaranty, as applicable,
following the effective date of such Transfer, so long as each of the following
conditions is met:
(i) The
Consolidated Net Worth of the assignee (if the assignee's stock is not listed
for trading on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange
or
authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ National Market), or the Shareholder's
Equity of the assignee (if the assignee's stock is listed for trading on
the
American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or authorized for
quotation on the NASDAQ National Market), immediately following the
effectiveness of such Transfer shall be greater than an amount equal to the
greater of (a) the Consolidated Net Worth of SSL as of the Restatement Date,
and
(b) the Shareholder's Equity of SSL immediately following a public offering
of
SSL's stock which constitutes a bona fide public distribution of such stock
pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting or a plan of distribution registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 and results in such stock being listed for
trading on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or
authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ National Market immediately upon the
completion of such public offering, if any, in each case as reasonably
determined by Lessor.
(ii) The
debt to equity ratio of the assignee following the effectiveness of such
Transfer shall be less than an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the debt
to
equity ratio of SSL as of the Restatement Date and (b) the debt to equity
ratio
of SSL immediately following a public offering of SSL's stock which constitutes
a bona fide public distribution of such stock pursuant to a firm commitment
underwriting or a plan of distribution registered under the Securities Act
of
1933 and results in such stock being listed for trading on the American Stock
Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or authorized for quotation on the
NASDAQ National Market immediately upon the completion of such public offering,
if any, in each case as reasonably determined by Lessor. For purposes of
this
clause (ii), "debt" shall include the capitalized value of any leases required
to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP to which SSL and/or such assignee
(and/or their consolidated Subsidiaries) are parties and the same shall be
demonstrated by financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.
54
(iii) The
assignee shall have adequate experience and skill in (i) operating facilities
comparable to the applicable Facility(ies) and (ii) a business of the nature,
type and size of the business of SSL immediately prior to the effectiveness
of
such Transfer, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable
discretion.
24.1.4
Attornment and Related Matters. Any Occupancy Arrangement (whether or not
the same constitutes a Master Sublease) or management engagement shall be
expressly subject and subordinate to all applicable terms and conditions
of this
Lease and provide that Lessor, at its option and without any obligation to
do
so, may require any Occupant or manager to attorn to Lessor, in which event
Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Lessee, as sublessor, licensor
or
otherwise under such Occupancy Arrangement or management engagement from
the
time of the exercise of such option to the termination of such Occupancy
Arrangement or management engagement and in such case Lessor shall not be
liable
for any prepaid rents, fees or other charges or for any prepaid security
deposits paid by such Occupant to Lessee or for any other prior defaults
of
Lessee under such Occupancy Arrangement or management engagement. In the
event
that Lessor shall not require such attornment with respect to any Occupancy
Arrangement or management engagement, then such Occupancy Arrangement or
management engagement shall automatically terminate upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, including any early termination by mutual
agreement of Lessor and Lessee. Furthermore, any Occupancy Arrangement,
management engagement or other agreement regarding a Transfer shall expressly
provide that the Occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee shall furnish
Lessor with such financial, operational or other information about the physical
condition of the applicable Facility, including the information required
by
Section 25.1.2 herein, as Lessor may request from time to time.
24.1.5
Assignment of Lessee's Rights Against Occupant Under a Master
Sublease. If Lessor shall consent to a Master Sublease, then the written
instrument of consent, executed and acknowledged by Lessor, Lessee and the
Occupant thereunder, shall contain a provision substantially similar to the
following:
(i) Lessee
and such Occupant hereby agree that, if such Occupant shall be in default
of any
of its obligations under the Master Sublease, which default also constitutes
an
Event of Default by Lessee under this Lease, then Lessor shall be permitted
to
avail itself of all of the rights and remedies available to Lessee against
such
Occupant in connection therewith.
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessor shall be permitted (by
assignment of a cause of action or otherwise) to institute an action or
proceeding against such Occupant in the name of Lessee in order to enforce
Lessee's rights under the Master Sublease, and also shall be permitted to
take
all ancillary actions (e.g., serve default notices and demands) in the name
of
Lessee as Lessor reasonably shall determine to be necessary. Lessee agrees
to
cooperate with Lessor, and to execute such documents as shall be reasonably
necessary, in connection with the implementation of the foregoing rights
of
Lessor. Lessee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lessor
of
any of the foregoing rights and remedies shall not constitute an election
of
remedies, and shall not in any way impair Lessor's entitlement to pursue
other
rights and remedies directly against Lessee.
55
24.1.6
Costs. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for Lessor's reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of
any
request to Transfer, including attorneys', architects', engineers' or other
consultants' fees whether or not such Transfer is actually
consummated.
24.1.7
No Release of Lessee's Obligations. Except as expressly set forth in
Section 24.1.3 above, no Transfer shall relieve Lessee of its obligation
to pay
the Rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Lessee
hereunder. Except as expressly set forth in Section 24.1.3 above, the liability
of Lessee named herein and any immediate and remote successor in interest
of
Lessee (i.e., by means of any Transfer), and the due performance of the
obligations of this Lease on Lessee's part to be performed or observed, shall
not in any way be discharged, released or impaired by any (i) agreement which
modifies any of the rights or obligations of the parties under this Lease,
(ii)
stipulation which extends the time within which an obligation under this
Lease
is to be performed, (iii) waiver of the performance of an obligation required
under this Lease, or (iv) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth
in
this Lease. Except as expressly set forth in Section 24.1.3 above, if any
Occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee defaults in any performance
due
hereunder, Lessor may proceed directly against the Lessee named herein and/or
any immediate and remote successor in interest of Lessee without exhausting
its
remedies against such Occupant, assignee, manager or other
transferee.
24.1.8
REIT Protection. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Transfer shall be consummated on any basis such that,
based
on the reasonable advice of Lessor's outside counsel, the status of Lessor
as a
real estate investment trust could be jeopardized because (i) the rental
or
other amounts to be paid by the Occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee
thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits
derived
by the business activities of the Occupant, assignee, manager or other
transferee; (ii) the Transfer is with any Person in which Lessee or Lessor
owns
an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules
set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Code); or (iii) the Transfer is to
be
consummated with a Person or in a manner which could cause any portion of
the
amounts received by Lessor pursuant to this Lease or any Occupancy Arrangement
to fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section
856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto or which
could
cause any other income of Lessor to fail to qualify as income described in
Section 856(c)(2) of the Code. Lessee shall provide such information as Lessor's
outside counsel may reasonably request to provide its advice regarding the
foregoing, and in rendering such advice, Lessor's counsel shall be entitled
to
rely on factual representations from Lessee and Lessor; provided, however,
that
Lessee shall have no liability therefor if Lessee has provided such information
and representations in good faith and after a reasonably diligent review
and
inquiry of the subject matter thereof.
56
24.1.9
Transfers In Bankruptcy. In the event of a Transfer pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all consideration payable or otherwise
to be
delivered in connection with such Transfer shall be paid or delivered to
Lessor,
shall be and remain the exclusive property of Lessor and shall not constitute
property of Lessee or of the estate of Lessee within the meaning of the
Bankruptcy Code. Any consideration constituting Lessor's property pursuant
to
the immediately preceding sentence and not paid or delivered to Lessor shall
be
held in trust for the benefit of Lessor and be promptly paid or delivered
to
Lessor. For purposes of this Section 24.1.9, the term "consideration" shall
mean
and include money, services, property and any other thing of value such as
payment of costs, cancellation or forgiveness of indebtedness, discounts,
rebates, barter and the like. If any such consideration is in a form other
than
cash (such as in kind, equity interests, indebtedness earn-outs, or other
deferred payments, consulting or management fees, etc.) Lessor shall be entitled
to receive in cash the then present fair market value of such
consideration.
24.1.10
Public Offering/Public Trading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Article XXIV, Lessor's consent shall not be required in connection
with,
and the provisions of Section 24.1.2.2 (i.e., payment of Transfer Consideration)
shall not apply to, any Transfer of any stock of Lessee or any Controlling
Person(s) as a result of a public offering of Lessee's or such Controlling
Person's stock which (a) constitutes a bona fide public distribution of such
stock pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting or a plan of distribution
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and (b) results in such stock
being
listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange
or authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ National Market immediately upon
the
completion of such public offering. In addition, so long as such stock of
Lessee
or any such Controlling Person(s) is listed for trading on any such exchange
or
authorized for quotation on such market, the transfer or exchange of such
stock
over such exchange or market shall not be deemed a Transfer hereunder unless
the
same constitutes a tender or similar offer (whether in one transaction or
in any
step or series of transactions) to acquire an interest in the outstanding
and
issued securities of Lessee or such Controlling Person(s) that results, directly
or indirectly, in a change in control of Lessee or such Controlling
Person(s).
24.1.11
Certain Other Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article XXIV, but subject to the provisions of Section 24.1.8 above, so long
as
SSL has other significant assets other than its interest (whether direct
or
indirect) in this Lease, the Facilities and any other leases of facilities
between Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor and SSL or an Affiliate of Lessee,
Lessor shall consent to any Transfer resulting from (a) a sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of
SSL or
a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of SSL, in each
case to a single purchaser or transferee in a single transaction or (b) a
merger, consolidation or stock exchange to which SSL is a party, and the
provisions of Section 24.1.2.2 (i.e., payment of Transfer Consideration)
shall
not apply to such Transfer, so long as each of the following conditions is
met:
57
(i) The
Consolidated Net Worth of the purchaser or transferee resulting from a Transfer
pursuant to clause (a) above or the surviving party resulting from a Transfer
pursuant to clause (b) above, as the case may be, following the effectiveness
of
such event shall be greater than the average Consolidated Net Worth of SSL
for
the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the effectiveness of such
event, as reasonably determined by Lessor.
(ii) The
debt to equity ratio of the purchaser or transferee resulting from a Transfer
pursuant to clause (a) above or the surviving party resulting from a Transfer
pursuant to clause (b) above, as the case may be, following the effectiveness
of
such event shall be less than the average debt to equity ratio of SSL for
the
twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the effectiveness of such event,
as reasonably determined by Lessor. For purposes of this clause (ii), "debt"
shall include the capitalized value of any leases required to be capitalized
in
accordance with GAAP to which SSL and/or such transferee or surviving entity
(and/or their consolidated Subsidiaries) are parties and the same shall be
demonstrated by financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.
(iii) The
purchaser or transferee resulting from a Transfer pursuant to clause (a)
above
or the other party(s) to the Transfer pursuant to clause (b) above, as the
case
may be, shall have sufficient operating experience and history with respect
to a
business of the nature, type and size of the business of SSL as the same
exists
prior to the effectiveness of such event, as reasonably determined by Lessor.
Such purchaser or transferee or other party to such Transfer, as the case
may
be, shall be deemed to have "sufficient operating experience and history"
if,
(A) the core management team of such purchaser, transferee or other party,
as
the case may be, has an average of not less than three (3) years' operating
experience with respect to the operation and management of facilities of
the
type and nature operated and/or managed by SSL and its Subsidiary(ies), or
(B)
such transferee or purchaser or other party, as the case may be, shall
immediately following the effectiveness of such Transfer, and for a period
of
not less than one (1) year thereafter, retain and/or hire in a full-time
management or consulting capacity a majority of the principal officers of
SSL
who were in the employment of SSL prior to the effectiveness of
Transfer.
(iv) Except
in the case of a Transfer as to which such transferee or purchaser or surviving
party, as the case may be, assumes the obligations of SSL under the applicable
Guaranty as a matter of law, such transferee or purchaser or surviving party
shall execute either (A) a written assumption of such Guaranty in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor or (B) a new guaranty of this Lease
consistent in form and substance with such Guaranty.
(v) No
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
hereunder.
58
(vi)
[Intentionally Omitted].
(vii) Lessor
shall receive the applicable information required by Section 24.1.2.1(i)
with
respect to each such proposed Transfer and the proposed purchaser or transferee
resulting therefrom.
As
used
in this Section 24.1.11, "other significant assets" shall mean that SSL has
other net current assets, whether direct or indirect, other than its interests
(whether direct or indirect) in this Lease, the Facilities and the facilities
covered thereby and any other facilities leased by SSL or an Affiliate of
SSL
from Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor, which in the aggregate total not less
than $10,000,000.00 or represent at least Forty Percent (40%) of the total
net
current assets of SSL, including its interests (whether direct or indirect)
in
the Facilities and any other facilities leased by SSL or any Affiliate of
SSL
from Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor.
24.1.12
Affiliate Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article XXIV but subject to the provisions of Section 24.1.8
above, Lessor's consent shall not be required in connection with, and the
provisions of Section 24.1.2.2 (i.e., payment of Transfer Consideration)
shall
not apply to, any assignment of Lessee's interest in this Lease to any
Affiliate(s) of Lessee, so long as in connection therewith, each of the
following conditions is met:
(a) In
connection with such assignment, there is no change in the use of the Leased
Property of any Facility from its Primary Intended Use;
(b) No
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder;
(c) The
assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee hereunder accruing
subsequent to the effective date of such assignment by an instrument in writing
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. A copy of such executed
assumption shall be delivered to Lessor along with the notice specified in
clause (e) below;
(d) Except
as expressly set forth in subsection (f) below, the original Lessee shall
not be
released from any of the obligations of the Lessee hereunder, whether occurring

other change in the address for xxxxxxxx and notices to the Lessee pursuant

this Lease, accompanied by an executed copy of the assumption or written

anything to the contrary contained in this
Section

of
Lessee as provided in this Section 24.1.12 shall be released from all
obligations under this Lease upon the dissolution or liquidation of such
original Lessee.
24.1.13

Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or authorized for quotation on the

or
statements of fact as Lessor, any ground or underlying lessor, any purchaser
or

25.1.3
Charges. Lessee acknowledges that the failure to furnish Lessor with any
of the certificates or statements required by this Article XXV will cause
Lessor
to incur costs and expenses not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount
of
which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain.
Accordingly, if Lessee fails to furnish Lessor with any of the certificates
or
statements required by this Article XXV, Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon
demand
$1,000 for each such failure as Additional Charges. The parties agree that
this
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Lessor
will
incur by reason of Lessee's failure to furnish Lessor with such certificates
and
statements.
25.1.4
Lessee's Submission of Certificates/Statements. Lessee shall be obligated
to furnish Lessor with all certificates and statements required under this
Article XXV by (i) delivery of printed copies of the same to Lessor at its

may
from time to time designate in writing and (ii) electronic delivery of the

Additions thereto to prospective purchasers, lenders, lessees and
managers.

27.1
No Waiver. No failure by Lessor to insist upon the strict performance of
any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy hereunder and no
acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any
default or Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any such breach
or of
any such term. 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.
ARTICLE
XXVIII.
28.1
Remedies Cumulative. Each legal, equitable or contractual right, power
and remedy of Lessor 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 of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies

Lessor or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released
from all future liabilities and obligations of the Lessor under this Lease
arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer
and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding

the new owner.
31.2
New Lease. Lessor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time

Lessor and Lessee shall execute a new lease (the "New Lease") for such Separated
Property(ies), effective as of the date specified in Section 31.2.3. below
(the
"New Lease Effective Date"), in the same form and substance as this Lease,
but
with such changes thereto as necessary to reflect the separation of the
Separated Property(ies) from the balance of the Leased Property, including
specifically the following:
(i)
The total monthly
Minimum Rent payable under such New Lease shall be the total applicable monthly
Allocated Minimum Rent with respect to such Separated
Property(ies);
64
(ii) All
Minimum Rent rental escalations under the New Lease shall be at the times
and in
the amounts set forth in this Lease for Minimum Rent increases for the
applicable Separated Property(ies); and
(iii) The
New Lease shall provide that the lessee thereunder shall be responsible for
the
payment, performance and satisfaction of all duties, obligations and liabilities
arising under this Lease, insofar as they relate to the Separated Property(ies),
that were not paid, performed and satisfied in full prior to the effective
date
of the New Lease (and Lessee under this Lease shall also be responsible for
the
payment, performance and satisfaction of the aforesaid duties, obligations
and
liabilities not paid, performed and satisfied in full prior to the effective
date of such New Lease).
31.2.2
Lessor and Lessee shall also execute an amendment to this Lease effective
as of
the New Lease Effective Date reflecting the separation of the Separated
Property(ies) from the balance of the Leased Property and making such
modifications to this Lease as are necessitated thereby.
31.2.3
In
the case of any New Lease that is entered into in accordance with this Section
31.2 such New Lease shall be effective on the date which is the earlier of
(i)
the date the New Lease is fully executed and delivered by the parties thereto
and (ii) the date specified in the written notice from Lessor to Lessee
requiring a New Lease as described above, which date shall be no sooner than
ten
(10) days after the date such notice is issued.
31.2.4
If
such Separated Property(ies) is a Group 2 Facility, Lessee's obligation to
provide letters of credit in accordance with Article XXI of this Lease shall
be
segregated so that (a) the applicable Lessee shall be required to provide
a
letter of credit pursuant to the New Lease, on the same terms and conditions
as
set forth in this Lease, except that "Letter of Credit Amount" under the
New
Lease shall mean an amount equal to the then existing Letter of Credit Amount
under this Lease (prior to the amendment contemplated in Section 31.2.2 above),
times a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the then existing
annual
Allocated Minimum Rent for the Separated Property(ies), and the denominator
of
which is the sum of the then existing total annual Minimum Rent payable for
all
Facilities (including the Separated Property(ies)), and (b) the "Letter of
Credit Amount" under this Lease (as amended) shall be reduced by the "Letter
of
Credit Amount" for the New Lease determined in accordance with subsection
(a)
above. If such Separated Property(ies) is a Group 1 Facility or Group 3
Facility, the applicable Lessee under the New Lease shall have no obligation
to
provide a letter of credit to secure its obligations thereunder, and the
terms
of this Section 31.2.4 shall not apply.
31.2.5
Lessee and Lessor shall take such actions and execute and deliver such
documents, including without limitation the New Lease and an amendment to
this
Lease, as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectuate the provisions
and intent of this Section 31.2.
31.2.6
Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with any New
Lease entered into in accordance with this Section 31.2.

Appraiser. If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value,
Fair Market Rental of any Facility for any purpose of this Lease or the
Allocated Value for purposes of determining any Transfer Consideration payable
to Lessor in connection with a Sale of Business pursuant to this Lease or
the
Negative FMV for purposes of Section 16.9, the same shall be determined by
an
independent appraisal firm, in which one or more of the members, officers
or
principals of such firm are Members of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor
organization thereto), as may be reasonably selected by Lessor (the
"Appraiser"). Lessor shall cause such Appraiser to determine the Fair Market
Value, Fair Market Rental or Allocated Value or Negative FMV of such Facility
as
of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation from
the
date of the Appraiser's decision to the relevant date) and the determination
of
such Appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties. A written report
of
such Appraiser shall be delivered and addressed to each of Lessor and Lessee.
To
the extent consistent with sound appraisal practice as then existing at the
time
of any such appraisal, an appraisal of Fair Market Value for purposes of
this
Lease shall take into account and shall give appropriate consideration to
all
three customary methods of appraisal (i.e., the cost approach, the sales
comparison approach and the income approach), and no one method or approach
shall be deemed conclusive simply by reason of the nature of Lessor's business
or because such approach may have been used for purposes of determining the
fair
market value of such Facility at the time of acquisition thereof by Lessor.
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. Except as otherwise provided in Section 16.9,
Lessor
and Lessee shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Appraiser
and
one-half of all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
appraisal.

Property of the Group 1 Facilities, or either of them, upon the expiration
of
the Fixed Term or the Extended Term for such Group 1 Facilities, at the greater
of (i) the Minimum Repurchase Price for such Group 1 Facility(ies) and (ii)
Lessor's Shared Appreciation Purchase Price for such Group 1 Facility(ies),
provided that in the event Lessee does not elect to purchase both of the
Group 1
Facilities pursuant to the terms of this Section, concurrent with Lessee's
election to exercise its purchase option hereunder, the Term of this Lease
for
the remaining Group 1 Facility is extended for the Extended Term in accordance
with the terms of Article XIX.
67
35.1.2
Group 3 Facilities. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder, Lessee shall have the option to purchase the Leased
Property of all (but not less than all) of the Group 3 Facilities upon the
expiration of the tenth (10th) Lease Year for such Group 3 Facilities, for
an
amount equal to the sum of Group 3 Facility Purchase Price for all of the
Group
3 Facilities.
35.1.3
General. Lessee shall exercise the option(s) to purchase the Leased
Property set forth in Sections 35.1.1 and/or 35.1.2 above, as applicable,
by
(i) opening
an escrow (the "Escrow") with and by depositing either (1) cash or (2) a
letter
of credit from a financial institution and in form in each case acceptable
to
Lessor, the sum of Two and One-Half Percent (21/2%) of (A) with respect to
the
Group 1 Facility(ies), the Minimum Repurchase Price and (B) with respect
to the
Group 3 Facilities, the sum of the Group 3 Facility Purchase Price for all
of
the Group 3 Facilities (the "Opening Deposit") and a copy of this Lease with
a
national title company reasonably acceptable to Lessor ("Escrow Holder")
and
giving written notice to Lessor of such deposit with Escrow Holder no earlier
than fifteen (15) months and not less than twelve (12) months prior to the
expiration of (x) with respect to the Group 1 Facility(ies), the Fixed Term
or
the Extended Term, as applicable, and (y) with respect to the Group 3
Facilities, the tenth (10th) Lease
Year for
such Facilities, and (ii) delivering to Lessor concurrent with such notice
a
reaffirmation of the Guaranty executed by Guarantors stating, in substance,
that
Guarantors' obligations under the Guaranty shall extend to the purchase contract
formed by Lessor and Lessee upon proper and timely exercise of such option.
If
Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise such option (e.g., by reason of
an
Event of Default) or shall be entitled to exercise the same but shall fail
to do
so within the time and in the manner herein provided, such option shall lapse
and thereafter not be exercisable by Lessee. No failure by Lessor to notify
Lessee of any defect in any attempted exercise of the foregoing option shall
be
deemed a waiver by Lessor of the right to insist upon Lessee's exercise of
such
option in strict accordance with the provisions hereof. In the event that
Lessee
shall properly and timely exercise such option, then such transaction shall
be
consummated on or within ten (10) days after the expiration of (i) with respect
to the Group 1 Facility(ies), the Fixed Term or the Extended Term, as
applicable, and (ii) with
respect to the Group 3 Facilities, the tenth (10th) Lease
Year for
such Facilities, but in either case subject to any delays resulting from
(A) a
cause described in Section 45.1.16 below or (B) Lessor's breach of its
obligations set forth in this Section 35 (the "Outside Closing
Date").

THE
ESCROW TO CLOSE, AND, THEREFORE, LESSOR AND LESSEE AGREE THAT IT WOULD

exercise of any other option, with or in favor of Lessor or any Affiliate
of
Lessor and made by or with Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee where such default
is not cured within the applicable time period, if any, shall be deemed a
default under this Article XXXV and the purchase contract formed upon proper
exercise by Lessee of the option herein provided, entitling Lessor, as seller,
at its option, to terminate such purchase contract and the Escrow and upon
any
such termination the Opening Deposit plus all accrued interest thereon shall
be
paid over to Lessee as provided in Section 35.2(a) above.
70
(c) Defaults
by Lessor. Subject to the provisions of Article XXXIX, if following a valid
and proper exercise of the foregoing option to purchase the Leased Property
of
the applicable Facility(ies), Lessor fails to complete the sale of the Leased
Property of such Facility(ies) at the time required herein, Lessee shall
have
the right to seek specific performance of the provisions of this Article
XXXV.
35.3
Escrow Provisions.
(a) Opening
of Escrow. Escrow shall be deemed open when the Opening Deposit and a copy
of
this Lease are delivered to Escrow Holder.
(b) General
and Supplemental Instructions. Lessee and Lessor each shall execute, deliver
and
be bound by such further escrow instructions or other instruments as may
be
reasonably requested by the other party or by Escrow Holder from time to
time,
so long as the same are consistent with the provisions of this
Lease.
(c) Disposition
of Opening Deposits. Escrow Holder shall hold the Opening Deposit in
interest-bearing accounts. All interest earned on the Opening Deposit shall
accrue to Lessee's benefit unless Lessor is entitled thereto under Section
35.2(a). With full knowledge that Escrow shall not have closed, Lessee
nevertheless agrees to relieve Escrow Holder of all liabilities in making
such
payment and for any failure to recover said sum in the event that Escrow
does
not close at anytime thereafter; provided, however, that the foregoing release
shall not extend to any willful misconduct by Escrow Holder or any negligent
acts by Escrow Holder or other acts by Escrow Holder that are inconsistent
with
the terms of this Section 35. The Opening Deposit plus interest thereon shall
be
(i) applied against the purchase price (as herein determined) if Escrow closes,
(ii) returned to Lessee in full if Escrow does not close for any reason other
than Lessee's default, or (iii) be paid to Lessor as nonrefundable liquidated
damages under Section 35.2(a), if Escrow fails to close under the provisions
of
hereof as a result of Lessee's default.
(d) Closing
Funds. At least one (1) business day before the Close of Escrow (as hereinafter
defined), Escrow Holder shall calculate and Lessee shall wire cash into Escrow
(using wiring instructions reasonably satisfactory to Escrow Holder) in an
amount which, when added to the Opening Deposit and all accrued interest
shall
equal the purchase price for the Leased Property of the applicable Facility(ies)
plus any other sums payable by Lessee pursuant to the provisions
hereof.
(e) Close
of Escrow. Escrow shall close on the Outside Closing Date. The term "Close
of
Escrow" as used in this Article shall mean the time and date that an appropriate
deed or other conveyance document conveying Lessor's entire interest in the
Leased Property of the applicable Facility(ies), subject to the permitted
liens
and encumbrances described in Article XVIII hereof, is recorded in appropriate
records of the county in which the Leased Property of the applicable
Facility(ies) is located. The Outside Closing Date shall not be extended
for any
reason.
71
(f) Closing
Costs. The closing costs of consummating the purchase of the Leased Property
of
the applicable Facility(ies) shall be paid by Lessee as provided in Article
XVIII.
35.4
Assurances. At any
time within one hundred twenty (120) days of the anticipated date of Close
of
Escrow, Lessor may request Lessee to provide reasonable assurances that it
will
be able to consummate the purchase of the Leased Property of the applicable
Facility(ies), including that Lessee has a firm, written commitment from
a
reputable lending institution to finance such purchase and/or has sufficient
liquidity to pay any balance of the purchase price owing by Lessee on the
date
of the Close of Escrow; provided, however, that in no event shall Lessee
be
entitled to exercise such option conditioned upon Lessee obtaining any such
financing. If Lessee does not provide such assurances to Lessor within fifteen
(15) days of request therefor, such event shall be considered a default under
this Article rendering the exercise of the option to purchase null and void,
causing any such option to lapse and entitling Lessor to the liquidated damages
set forth in Section 35.2(a), but only if Lessor's request was in writing
and
stated in capital letters in bold type that Lessee's failure to provide such
assurances to Lessor within fifteen (15) days of request therefor would be
considered a default under this Article rendering the exercise of the option
to
purchase null and void, causing any such option to lapse and entitling Lessor
to
the liquidated damages set forth in Section 35.2(a).
ARTICLE

36.1
Lessor May Grant Liens.
Without the consent of Lessee, Lessor may, from time to time,
directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any ground lease,
mortgage, trust deed, lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement
(collectively, an "encumbrance") upon the Leased Property and any Capital
Additions or any part(s) or portion(s) thereof or interests therein. This
Lease
is and at all times shall be subject and subordinate to any such encumbrance
which may now or hereafter affect the Leased Property and/or any such Capital
Additions or any part(s) or portion(s) thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. This
clause
shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall
be
required; provided, however, that in confirmation of such subordination,
Lessee
shall execute promptly any certificate or document that Lessor or any ground
or
underlying lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary may request for such purposes;
provided further, however, that any such subjection and subordination of
this
Lease or Lessee's leasehold interest hereunder to any such encumbrance imposed
after the Restatement Date shall be conditioned upon the execution by the
holder
of such encumbrance and delivery to Lessee of a non-disturbance and attornment
agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, Lessee and such holder
of
such encumbrance and which provides, in substance, that so long as no Event
of
Default has occurred, the holder of such encumbrance shall not disturb either
Lessee's leasehold interest or possession of the Leased Property in accordance
with the terms hereof. Lessee shall also promptly execute and deliver to
Lessor
and such holder of such encumbrance such non- disturbance and attornment
agreement if requested by Lessor and/or such holder. If, in connection with
obtaining financing or refinancing for the Leased Property of any Facility
and/or any Capital Additions thereto, a Facility Mortgagee or prospective
Facility Mortgagee shall request reasonable modifications to this Lease as
a
condition to such financing or refinancing, Lessee shall not withhold or
delay
its consent thereto.
72
36.2
Attornment. If Lessor's interest in the Leased Property and/or any
Capital Additions or any part(s) or portion(s) thereof is sold or conveyed
upon
the exercise of any remedy provided for in any Facility Mortgage, or otherwise
by operation of law: (i) at the new owner's option, Lessee shall attorn to
and
recognize the new owner as Lessee's Lessor under this Lease or enter into
a new
lease substantially in the form of this Lease with the new owner, and Lessee
shall take such actions to confirm the foregoing within ten (10) days after
request; and (ii) the new owner shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission
of Lessor under this Lease occurring prior to such sale or conveyance, or
(b)
subject to any offset, abatement or reduction of rent because of any default
of
Lessor under this Lease occurring prior to such sale or conveyance.

37.1
Hazardous Substances. Lessee shall not allow any Hazardous Substance to
be located in, on, under or about the Leased Property or incorporated in
any
Facility; provided, however, that Hazardous Substances may be brought, kept,
used or disposed of in, on or about the Leased Property or any Capital Additions
of any Facility in quantities and for purposes similar to those brought,
kept,
used or disposed of in, on or about similar facilities used for purposes
similar
to the Primary Intended Use of such Facility or in connection with the
construction of facilities similar to such Facility and which are brought,
kept,
used and disposed of in strict compliance with Legal Requirements. Lessee
shall
not allow the Leased Property or any Capital Additions to be used as a waste
disposal site or, except as permitted in the immediately preceding sentence,
for
the manufacturing, handling, storage, distribution or disposal of any Hazardous
Substance.
37.2
Notices. Lessee shall provide to Lessor promptly, and in any event
immediately upon Lessee's receipt thereof, a copy of any notice, or notification
with respect to, (i) any violation of a Legal Requirement relating to Hazardous
Substances located in, on, or under the Leased Property or any Capital Additions
or any adjacent property thereto; (ii) any enforcement, cleanup, removal,
or
other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened
with
respect to the Leased Property or any Capital Additions; (iii) any claim
made or
threatened by any Person against Lessee or the Leased Property or any Capital
Additions relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation,
loss,
or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Substance;
and
(iv) any reports made to any federal, state or local environmental agency
arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Substance in, on, under
or
removed from the Leased Property or any Capital Additions, including any
complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations in connection
therewith.
37.3
Remediation. If Lessee becomes aware of a violation of any Legal
Requirement relating to any Hazardous Substance in, on, under or about the
Leased Property or any Capital Additions or any adjacent property thereto,
or if
Lessee, Lessor or the Leased Property or any Capital Additions becomes subject
to any order of any federal, state or local agency to repair, close, detoxify,
decontaminate or otherwise remediate the Leased Property and any Capital
Additions, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of such event and, at its
sole
cost and expense, cure such violation or effect such repair, closure,
detoxification, decontamination or other remediation. If Lessee fails to
implement and diligently pursue any such cure, repair, closure, detoxification,
decontamination or other remediation, Lessor shall have the right, but not
the
obligation, to carry out such action and to recover from Lessee all of Lessor's
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
73
37.4
Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, protect, save, hold harmless,
and reimburse Lessor for, from and against any and all costs, losses (including,
losses of use or economic benefit or diminution in value), liabilities, damages,
assessments, lawsuits, deficiencies, demands, claims and expenses (collectively,
"Environmental Costs") (whether or not arising out of third-party claims
and
regardless of whether liability without fault is imposed, or sought to be
imposed, on Lessor) incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting
from
or incident to, directly or indirectly, before or during the Term (i) the
production, use, generation, storage, treatment, transporting, disposal,
discharge, release or other handling or disposition of any Hazardous Substances
from, in, on or about the Leased Property or any Capital Additions or any
part(s) or portion(s) thereof (collectively, "Handling"), including the effects
of such Handling of any Hazardous Substances on any Person or property within
or
outside the boundaries of the Leased Property or any Capital Additions, (ii)
the
presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the Leased Property
or any Capital Additions or any part(s) or portion(s) thereof and (iii) the
violation of any Legal Requirements (including Environmental Laws).
"Environmental Costs" include interest, costs of response, removal, remedial
action, containment, cleanup, investigation, design, engineering and
construction, damages (including actual, consequential and punitive damages)
for
personal injuries and for injury to, destruction of or loss of property or
natural resources, relocation or replacement costs, penalties, fines, charges
or

and
all amounts paid in investigating, defending or settling any of the
foregoing.
Without
limiting the scope or generality of the foregoing, Lessee expressly agrees
to
reimburse Lessor for any and all costs and expenses incurred by
Lessor:
(a) In
investigating any and all matters relating to the Handling of any Hazardous
Substances, in, on, from, under or about the Leased Property or any Capital
Additions or any part(s) or portion(s) thereof;
(b) In
bringing the Leased Property or any Capital Additions into compliance with
all

If
any
claim is made hereunder, Lessee agrees to pay such claim promptly, and in
any
event to pay such claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by
Lessee
of notice thereof. If any such claim is not so paid and Lessor is ultimately
found or agrees to be responsible therefore, Lessee agrees also to pay interest
on the amount paid from the date of the first notice of such claim, at the
Overdue Rate.

Environmental Inspection. Lessor shall have the right, from time to time,
and upon not less than five (5) days' written notice to Lessee, except in
the
case of an emergency in which event no notice shall be required, to conduct
an
inspection of the Leased Property and all Capital Additions or any part(s)
or
portion(s) thereof at any reasonable time to determine the existence or presence
of Hazardous Substances on or about such Leased Property or any such Capital
Additions, if Lessor has reasonable belief to suspect that Lessee has not
fully
complied with the terms of this Article XXXVII. Lessor shall have the right
to
enter and inspect the Leased Property and all Capital Additions, conduct
any
testing, sampling and analyses it deems necessary and shall have the right
to
inspect materials brought into the Leased Property or any such Capital
Additions; provided, however, that Lessor shall (i) conduct its activities
on
the Leased Property or any such Capital Additions pursuant to the terms of
this
Section 37.5 in a commercially reasonable manner designed to minimize the
impact
of such activities on Lessee's operation of applicable Facility, (ii) restore
the Leased Property and any such Capital Additions to substantially the same
condition as existed immediately prior to Lessor's inspection thereof and
(iii)
indemnify, defend, protect, save, hold harmless, and reimburse Lessee for,
from
and against any and all loss, cost or expense, including costs and reasonable
legal fees, arising out of any damage to persons or property occurring in
or
about the Leased Property and any such Capital Additions, or any liens filed
against the Leased Property or any such Capital Additions, in either case
resulting directly from Lessor's inspection of the Leased Property and any
such
Capital Additions pursuant to the terms of this Section 37.5. Lessor may,
in its
discretion, retain such experts to conduct the inspection, perform the tests
referred to herein, and to prepare a written report in connection therewith.
All
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor under this Section shall be paid on
demand
as Additional Charges by Lessee to Lessor. Failure to conduct an environmental
inspection or to detect unfavorable conditions if such inspection is conducted
shall in no fashion be intended as a release of any liability for environmental
conditions subsequently determined to be associated with or to have occurred
during Lessee's tenancy. Lessee shall remain liable for any environmental
condition related to or having occurred during its tenancy regardless of
when
such conditions are discovered and regardless of whether or not Lessor conducts
an environmental inspection at the termination of the Lease. The obligations
set
forth in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination
of the
Lease.

Lessor in removing from record any such memorandum upon the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term with respect to the applicable
Facility.

Sale of Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Lessor
shall not be required to (i) sell or transfer the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, which is a real estate asset as defined in Section
856(c)(5)(B), or functionally equivalent successor provision, of the Code,
to
Lessee if Lessor's counsel advises Lessor that such sale or transfer may
not be
a sale of property described in Section 857(b)(6)(C), or functionally equivalent
successor provision, of the Code or (ii) sell or transfer the Leased Property,
or any portion thereof, to Lessee if Lessor's counsel advises Lessor that
such
sale or transfer could result in an unacceptable amount of gross income for
purposes of the Ninety-Five percent (95%) gross income test contained in
Section
856(c)(2), or functionally equivalent successor provision, of the Code. If
Lessee has the right or obligation to purchase the Leased Property or any
portion thereof pursuant to the terms herein, and if Lessor determines not
to
sell such Leased Property pursuant to the above sentence, then Lessee shall
purchase such Leased Property, upon and subject to all applicable terms and
conditions set forth in this Lease, including the provisions of Article XXXV,
at
such time as the transaction, upon the advice of Lessor's counsel, would
be a
sale of property (to the extent the Leased Property is a real estate asset)
described in Section 857(b)(6)(C), or functionally equivalent successor
provision, of the Code, and would not result in an unacceptable amount of
gross
income for purposes of the Ninety-Five Percent (95%) gross income test contained
in Section 856(c)(2), or functionally equivalent successor provision of the
Code
and until such time Lessee shall lease the Leased Property and all Capital
Additions from Lessor at the Fair Market Rental.

conditioned or delayed, subdivide the Land and amend this Lease and the legal
description attached hereto as Exhibit A such that the Land contains only
so much of the Land as is necessary to operate such Facility in accordance
with
its Primary Intended Use. If Lessor subdivides the Land relating to any Facility
there shall be no change in the Rent payable hereunder. After any such
subdivision, Lessee shall have no rights to any land which is no longer part
of
the Leased Property and Lessor may sell, lease or develop any land which
is no
longer part of the Leased Property; provided, however, that Lessor will not
develop or allow such land to be used for any purpose that would materially
adversely affect Lessee's use of such Facility, including, without limitation,
as a facility or institution providing services or similar goods to those
provided in connection with such Facility and its Primary Intended Use. If

Except as provided in Section 44.2 below, any controversy, dispute or claim
of
whatsoever nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the
interpretation, performance or breach of this Lease, including any claim
based
on contract, tort or statute, shall be determined by final and binding,
confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association
("AAA") in accordance with its then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules
by a
sole arbitrator selected in accordance with such AAA rules. Any arbitration
hereunder shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.

by
the arbitrator may be entered by any state or federal court having jurisdiction
thereof. Neither
Lessor, Lessee nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content or
results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of
all
parties; provided, however, that either party may disclose the existence,
content or results of any such arbitration to its partners, officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys and accountants and to any other Person to whom
disclosure is required by applicable Legal Requirements, including pursuant
to
an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise agreed by
the
parties, any arbitration hereunder shall be held at a neutral location selected
by the arbitrator in the major metropolitan area in the State closest in
proximity to the Leased Property. The cost of the arbitrator and the expenses
relating to the arbitration (exclusive of legal fees) shall be borne equally
by
Lessor and Lessee unless otherwise specified in the award of the arbitrator.
Such fees and costs paid or payable to the arbitrator shall be included in
"costs and reasonable attorneys' fees" for purposes of Article XLII and the

Requirements as the result of an Event of Default or alleged Event of Default
by
Lessee pursuant to this Lease. In addition, if permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, Lessor shall be entitled in connection with any such proceeding
to
seek any damages to which it is entitled at law, including those set forth
in
Article XVI.
(b) Any
specific controversy, dispute, question or issue as to which this Lease
specifically provides another method of determining such controversy, dispute,
question or issue and provides that a determination pursuant to such method
is
final and binding, unless both Lessor and Lessee agree in writing to waive
such
procedure and proceed instead pursuant to this Article XLIV.
(c) Any
request or application for an order or decree granting any provisional or
ancillary remedy (such as a temporary restraining order or injunction) with
respect to any right or obligation of either party to this Lease, and any
preliminary determination of the underlying controversy, dispute, question
or
issue as is required to determine whether or not to grant such relief. A
final
and binding determination of such underlying controversy, dispute, question
or
issue shall be made by an arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article
XLIV
after an appropriate transfer or reference to the arbitrator selected pursuant
to this Article XLIV upon motion or application of either party hereto. Any
ancillary or provisional relief which is granted pursuant to this clause
(c)

Survival. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities and indemnities of,
Lessee
or Lessor arising prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
shall survive such expiration or termination. In addition, all claims against,
and all liabilities and indemnities hereunder of Lessee shall continue in
full
force and effect and in favor of the Lessor named herein and its successors
and
assigns, notwithstanding any conveyance of the Leased Property to
Lessee.

Non-Recourse. Lessee specifically agrees to look solely to the Leased
Property for recovery of any judgment from Lessor. It is specifically agreed
that no constituent partner in Lessor or officer, director or employee of
Lessor
shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment or for the payment
of any
monetary obligation to Lessee. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence
is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Lessee might otherwise
have to obtain injunctive relief against Lessor, or any action not involving
the
personal liability of Lessor. Furthermore, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, in no event shall Lessor ever be liable to Lessee for any
indirect or consequential damages suffered by Lessee from whatever
cause.

respect to any Facility, Lessee shall use its best efforts to transfer to
Lessor
or Lessor's nominee a fully operational Facility and shall cooperate with
Lessor
or Lessor's designee or nominee in connection with the processing by Lessor
or
Lessor's designee or nominee of any applications for all licenses, operating
permits and other governmental authorization, all contracts, including contracts
with governmental or quasi-governmental entities, business records, data,
patient and resident records, and patient and resident trust accounts, which
may
be necessary or useful for the operation of such Facility; provided that
the
costs and expenses of any such transfer or the processing of any such
application shall be paid by Lessor or Lessor's designee or nominee. Lessee
shall not commit any act or be remiss in the undertaking of any act that
would
jeopardize the licensure or certification of such Facility, and Lessee shall
comply with all requests for an orderly transfer of the same upon the expiration
or early termination of the Term. In addition, upon request, Lessee shall
promptly deliver copies of all books and records relating to the Leased Property
of such Facility and all Capital Additions and operations thereon to Lessor
or
Lessor's designee or nominee. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, protect and
hold
harmless Lessor from and against any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred
by
Lessor or Lessor's designee or nominee in connection with the correction
of any
and all deficiencies of a physical nature identified by any governmental
authority responsible for licensing the Leased Property of any Facility and
all
Capital Additions thereon in the course of any change of ownership inspection
and audit.

Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall be binding upon Lessor and its
successors and assigns and, subject to the provisions of Article XXIV, upon
Lessee and its successors and assigns.

Termination Date. If this Lease is terminated by Lessor or Lessee under
any provision hereof with respect to any one or more (including all, if

hereunder. Lessee shall, at Lessee's cost, repair any damage to such Leased
Property and any Capital Additions caused by such vacation and/or removal
of any
items which Lessee is required or permitted hereunder to remove. Any items
which
Lessee is permitted to remove but fails to remove prior to the surrender
to
Lessor of such Leased Property, Lessee's Personal Property and Capital Additions
shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee, and Lessor may retain or dispose of
the
same as Lessor sees fit without claim by Lessee thereto or to any proceeds
thereof. If Lessor elects to remove and dispose of any such items abandoned
by
Lessee, the cost of such removal and disposal shall be an Additional Charge
payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.
79
(ii) Without
limiting the provisions of Section 45.1.1 above, upon any such termination
or
expiration of this Lease with respect to a Facility, the following shall
pertain:
(A) Lessee
agrees to defend, protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from
and
against any and all claims, costs, losses, expenses, damages, actions, and

which
accrue or have accrued on or before the termination date.
(B) Lessee
shall remain liable for the cost of all utilities used in or at the Leased
Property and any Capital Additions relating to such Facility through the

directly from the companies providing such services closing statements for
all
services rendered through the termination date and shall promptly pay the
same.
If any utility statement with respect to such Leased Property and any Capital
Additions includes charges for a period partially prior to and partially
subsequent to the termination date, such charges shall be prorated as between
Lessor and Lessee, with Lessee responsible for the portion thereof (based
upon a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days of service on such
statement through the termination date and the denominator of which is the
total
number of days of service on such statement) through the termination date
and
Lessor shall be responsible for the balance. The party receiving any such
statement which requires proration hereunder shall promptly pay such statement
and the other party shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of a copy of
such
statement, remit to the party paying the statement any amount for which such
other party is responsible hereunder.
(C) Lessee
shall remain responsible for any and all Impositions imposed against the
Leased
Property, the Personal Property and any Capital Additions with a lien date
prior
to the termination date (irrespective of the date of billing therefor) and
for
its pro rata share of any Impositions imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal
period during which the Term terminates as provided in Section 4.1.7, and
Lessee
shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless with respect to any claims for such
Impositions or resulting from nonpayment thereof.
(D) Lessee
shall (y) execute all documents and take any actions reasonably necessary
to (1)
cause the transfer to Lessor of all of Lessee's Personal Property and any

case
free of any encumbrance, as provided in Section 6.3 and (2) remove this Lease
and/or any memorandum hereof as a matter affecting title to the Leased Property
as provided in Article XXXVIII and (z) comply with its covenants set forth
in
Section 45.1.4.
80
(E) Lessee
shall continue to observe the covenants of Lessee set forth in Sections 7.4.1,
7.4.2 and 7.4.3 and any other covenant or agreement of Lessee in this Lease
which is intended to survive the expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease.

shall remain responsible for and shall promptly pay to Lessor any Additional
Charge owed to Lessor pursuant to Section 16.9.

or
failed to perform a covenant of Lessor not to unreasonably withhold or delay
Lessor's consent or approval hereunder, or in any case where Lessor's
reasonableness in exercising its judgment is in issue, Lessee's sole remedy
shall be an action for specific performance, declaratory judgment or injunction,
and in no event shall Lessee be entitled to any monetary damages for a breach
of
such covenant, and in no event shall Lessee claim or assert any claims for
monetary damages in any action or by way of set-off defense or counterclaim,
and
Lessee hereby specifically waives the right to any monetary damages or other
remedies in connection with any such claim or assertion.

are
merged into and revoked by this Lease. Without limiting the generality of
the
foregoing, any schedules, abstracts of Original Leases (as well as the Original

performing its respective obligations pursuant to this Lease by any cause
beyond
the reasonable control of the party required to perform such obligation,
the
time period for performing such obligation shall be extended by a period
of time
equal to the period of the delay. For purposes of this Lease:
(a) A
cause shall be beyond the reasonable control of a party to this Lease when
such
cause would affect any person similarly situated (such as power outage, labor
strike, Act of God or trucker's strike) but shall not be beyond the reasonable
control of such party when peculiar to such party (such as financial inability
or failure to order long lead time material sufficiently in
advance).

Section shall not apply to any obligation to pay money or otherwise perform
any
financial obligation hereunder.
(c) In
the event of any occurrence which a party believes constitutes a cause beyond

by
such party, such party shall promptly in writing notify the other party of
the
occurrence and nature of such cause, the anticipated period of delay and
the
steps being taken by such party to mitigate the effects of such delay. Failure
to give such notice promptly, shall deem such occurrence or event not to
