LEASE #9

(Weaverville, NC)

This “Lease #9” is entered into as of August 1, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) between Xxxxxxx Enterprises of Weaverville, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Landlord”), and North Carolina Radiation Therapy Management Services, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Tenant”), for the approximately 10,696 square foot building with a street address of 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the “Building” or “Premises”) located on the real property more particularly described on attached Exhibit A (the “Property”). The improvements within the Premises which are used for radiation oncology related services are referred to as the “Facility”, as such utilization may be changed pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and collectively, the “Business”. Pursuant to its concurrent Guaranty, 21st Century Oncology, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Guarantor”) has guaranteed Tenant’s obligations hereunder. In consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein, Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant for the Term upon the terms and conditions provided below. Certain capitalized terms used in this Lease are defined on Exhibit D.

RECOGNITION OF LEASE;

IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS

Tenant and Landlord each acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of this Lease shall be uniformly applied to the Facility and the Premises. The Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, other amounts payable hereunder and all other provisions contained herein have been negotiated and agreed upon based on the intent to lease the entirety of the Premises as a single and inseparable transaction pursuant to this Lease.

Tenant and Guarantor each acknowledge and agree that Landlord is entering into this Lease as an accommodation to Tenant and Guarantor. Tenant and Guarantor, in order to induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, to the extent permitted by law:

A. Agrees, acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the contrary that the statements set forth in the first sentence of this Section are true, correct and complete;

B. Agrees, acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the contrary that this Lease is a new and de novo lease, which supersedes and replaces in its entirety any existing or prior occupancy lease between the Tenant and the Landlord or between any of the entities comprising Tenant and any of the entities comprising Landlord that may have existed prior to the date hereof; and

C. Agrees, acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the contrary that this Lease is a single lease pursuant to which the collective Premises are demised to the Tenant pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease;

With respect to this Lease and exercise of the rights of Tenant and discharge of the duties and obligations of Tenant with respect to the Facility and Premises occupied by Tenant, Tenant hereby appoints Guarantor as its agent with power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to pay rent and to exercise all of the other rights of Tenant and to perform and discharge any and all duties and obligations

of Tenant under this Lease with respect to the Facility and Premises. Any act of Guarantor as agent or attorney-in-fact for Tenant may be relied upon by Landlord as the act of Tenant.

1. Term. The “Term” of this Lease is the Initial Term plus all Renewal Terms, and a “Lease Year” is the twelve month period commencing on January 1 of each year of the Term; provided, however, the first Lease Year shall commence on August 1, 2014 and end on December 31, 2015. The “Initial Term” commences on August 1, 2014 and ends on December 31, 2029, and may be extended for four (4) separate “Renewal Terms” of five (5) years each if: (a) at least twelve (12), but not more than fifteen (15) months prior to the end of the then current Term, Tenant delivers to Landlord a “Renewal Notice” that it desires to exercise its right to extend this Lease for one (1) Renewal Term; and (b) there is no Event of Default on the date Landlord receives the Renewal Notice (the “Exercise Date”) or on the last day of the then current Term.

2. Rent. During the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord “Rent” consisting of “Minimum Rent”plus “Additional Rent” determined as provided in this Section 2; provided, the Rent for any Lease Year shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Rent for the previous Lease Year. The Rent for any month that begins or ends on other than the first or last day of a calendar month shall be prorated based on actual days elapsed.

2.1 Initial Term Rent. During the Initial Term, “Minimum Rent” is $345,600.00 annually, payable in advance in twelve (12) equal monthly installments. Commencing with the second (2nd) Lease Year and continuing thereafter during the Term (excluding the first Lease Year of any Renewal Term), Tenant agrees to pay “Additional Rent” to Landlord monthly in advance together with the payment of Minimum Rent. Such Additional Rent (which shall be expressed as an annual amount but shall be payable in equal monthly installments) shall be equal to the sum of (A) the Additional Rent (if any) due for the immediately preceding Lease Year and (B) the product of (i) the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due for the immediately preceding Lease Year and (ii) the percentage increase, if any, in the CPI (as herein defined) from the first day of the immediately preceding Lease Year to the last day of the immediately preceding Lease Year. Tenant shall pay the Additional Rent to Landlord for the period of time elapsing between the anniversary date and notice of such increase upon request by Landlord. Thereafter the increase shall be payable equally with the regular Minimum Rent payments. In no event shall a decrease in the CPI result in a decrease in the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent payable under the terms of this Lease.

2.2 Renewal Term Rent. To establish a fair market Minimum Rent for the Premises during the Renewal Terms, the Minimum Rent for the Renewal Terms shall be reset and expressed as an annual amount equal to the greater of: (i) one hundred three percent (103%) of the Minimum Rent due for the immediately preceding Lease Year, or (ii) the Fair Market Rent of the Premises on the Exercise Date as established pursuant to Exhibit B, provided, however, in no event shall the Minimum Rent for the Premises during the first Lease Year of such Renewal Term(s) be greater than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent for the immediately preceding Lease Year. The Minimum Rent for the Premises during the fourth Renewal Term, if any, shall be reset and expressed as an annual amount equal to the Fair Market Rent of the Premises on the Exercise Date. Commencing with the second (2nd) Lease Year of a Renewal Term and continuing each Lease Year of such Renewal Term thereafter, “Additional Rent” shall be calculated as provided in Section 2.1 and as so calculated shall be payable in monthly installments throughout the remainder of such Renewal Term.

2.3 Payment Terms. All Rent and other payments to Landlord shall be paid by wire transfer or ACH (Automated Clearing House) only. Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid in advance in equal monthly installments on or before the first (1st) Business Day of each calendar month.

2.4 Absolute Net Lease. All Rent payments shall be absolutely net to Landlord, free of any and all Taxes, Other Charges, and operating or other expenses of any kind whatsoever, all of which shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall continue to perform its obligations under this Lease even if Tenant claims that it has been damaged by Landlord. Thus, Tenant shall at all times remain obligated under this Lease without any right of setoff, counterclaim, abatement, deduction, reduction or defense of any kind. Tenant’s sole right to recover damages against Landlord under this Lease shall be to prove such damages in a separate action.

3. Late Charges. The late payment of Rent or other amounts due will cause Landlord to lose the use of such money and incur administrative and other expenses not contemplated under this Lease. While the exact amount of the foregoing is extremely difficult to ascertain, the parties agree that as a reasonable estimate of fair compensation to Landlord, if any Rent or other amount is not paid within (i) five (5) clays after the due date for such payment, then Tenant shall thereafter pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of such delinquent amounts, and (ii) ten (10) days after the due date for such payment, such unpaid amount shall accrue interest from such date at the “Agreed Rate” of five percent (5%) plus the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal on the eleventh (11th) day after the due date for such payment.

4. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

5. Taxes and Other Charges. At the end of the Term, all Taxes and Other Charges shall be prorated. If Tenant has prepaid any Taxes or Other Charges for periods extending beyond the end of the Term, Landlord shall, within forty-five (45) days of the expiration of the Term, reimburse Tenant for such Taxes and Other Charges, which obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall promptly forward to Tenant copies of all bills and payment receipts for Taxes or Other Charges received by it. At the end of the Term, Subject to Section 5.1 and Landlord’s obligations to make payments from the Tax Impound as defined therein, Tenant shall pay and discharge (including the filing of all required returns), prior to delinquency or imposition of any fine, penalty, interest or other cost (“Penalty”) the following: (i) “Taxes”, consisting of any property (real and personal) and other taxes and assessments levied or assessed with respect to this Lease or any portion of the Premises, including, without limitation, any state or county occupation tax, transaction privilege, franchise taxes, business privilege, rental tax or other excise taxes, and other assessments levied or assessed against the Premises, Tenant’s interest therein or Landlord (with respect to this Lease and/or the Premises, but excluding any local, state or federal income tax based upon the net income or excess profits of Landlord, any capital gains tax imposed on Landlord in connection with the sale of all or any portion of the Premises to any Person and any transfer tax or stamps for Landlord’s transfer of any interest in any portion of the Premises to any Person other than Tenant or any of its Affiliates), which shall be borne by Landlord, and (ii) “Other Charges”, consisting of any utilities, common area maintenance, and other costs and expenses of the Business and operation, possession or use of any portion of the Premises and all other charges, obligations or deposits assessed against any portion of the Premises during the Term. Tenant may pay all of any portion of the Taxes or the Other Charges in permitted installments (whether or not interest accrues on the unpaid balance) when due and before any Penalty. Tenant will furnish to

Landlord, promptly after demand therefore, proof of payment of Taxes and Other Charges which are paid by Tenant.

5.1 Protests. Each party has the right, but not the obligation, in good faith to protest or contest (a “Protest”) in whole or in part (i) the amount or payment of any Taxes or Other Charges and (ii) the existence, amount or validity of any Lien (as defined in Section 8.1) by appropriate proceedings sufficient to prevent its collection or other realization and the sale, forfeiture or loss of any portion of the Premises or Rent to satisfy it (so long as, in the case of any Protest or contest by Tenant, Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable security to assure the foregoing, which security may take the form of a title indemnity (in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and from a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Landlord) or payment of the amount due the lien claimant), provided that if as a result of any Protest initiated by Landlord, such Taxes, Other Charges or the amount of any Lien increases above the protested amount, such increase shall be borne exclusively by Landlord. Each party shall diligently prosecute any such Protest initiated by it at its sole cost and expense. In connection with any Protest that Tenant is diligently pursuing regarding Taxes, subject to Landlord’s obligation to make payments from the Tax Impound pursuant to Section 5.2, Tenant shall pay the Taxes that are the subject of such Protest before the imposition of any Penalty. In connection with any Protest that Tenant is diligently pursuing regarding any Other Charges or Liens, Tenant shall pay such Other Charges or pay such Liens (or otherwise cause them to be removed) before any part of the Premises or any Rent therefrom or interest therein is in any danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost. At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Landlord will cooperate fully in any Protest that involves an amount assessed against it and, at Tenant’s request, in the case of any Protest in which Tenant is prohibited from solely prosecuting such proceedings by applicable law.

5.2 Impound. Tenant shall include with each Minimum Rent payment a deposit of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount required to discharge the annual amount of real property Taxes secured by a Lien encumbering any portion of the Premises (“Real Property Taxes”) as and when they become due (the “Tax Impound”). The amounts held by Landlord in the Tax Impound shall be applied by Landlord directly to the payment of the Taxes in a timely fashion and prior to the imposition of any Penalty, and, except if resulting from insufficient funds in the Tax Impound, if any Penalty results from Landlord’s failure to timely make any such payment, such Penalty shall be paid by Landlord. The Tax Impound shall be calculated on the basis of the most recent available levy applied to the most recent available assessment of Real Property Taxes. The Tax Impound shall not be held by Landlord in trust or as an agent of Tenant, but rather shall be applied by Landlord to the Taxes. The Tax Impound shall earn interest on an annual basis based upon the average interest earned during such year by Landlord on its cash deposits. Interest earned on the Tax Impound for a given Lease Year shall, at Tenant’s election either (a) be paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the end of the Lease Year, or (b) in the case of (i) a Lease Year that is not the final Lease Year, be credited against the amount of Tax Impound due from Tenant to Landlord for the first month (or additional month(s) if such credit exceeds the amount of Tax Impound due for such first month) of the subsequent Lease Year, or in the case of (ii) the final Lease Year, paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. If at any time within thirty (30) days prior to the due date the Tax Impound shall be insufficient for the payment of the obligation in full, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand deposit the deficiency with Landlord. If the Tax Impound is in excess of the actual obligation, at Tenant’s election any excess funds shall either (x) be paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the end of the Lease Year, or (y) in the case of (1) a Lease Year that is not the final Lease Year, be credited against the amount of Tax Impound due from Tenant to Landlord for the first month (or additional month(s) if such credit exceeds

the amount of the Tax Impound due for such first month) of the subsequent Lease Year, or in the case of (2) the final Lease Year, paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall forward to Landlord or its designee all Tax bills, bond and assessment statements as soon as they are received and receipts for payment of all Taxes required to be paid by Tenant. If Landlord transfers this Lease, it shall transfer the Tax Impound, and all interest earned thereon, to the transferee, and Landlord shall thereafter have no liability of any kind with respect thereto.

6. Insurance. All insurance provided for in this Lease shall (i) be maintained under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers licensed and approved to do business in the state(s) where the Facility or portion of the Premises is located and having general policyholders and financial ratings of not less than “A-” and “X”, respectively, in the then current Best’s Insurance Report, (ii) except for insurance referenced in Section 6(c), 6(d) and Section 6(e), name Landlord (and, if required, pursuant to the terms of any mortgage encumbering the Premises, or any part hereof, Landlord’s mortgagee) as an additional insured and, for the casualty policy referenced in Section 6(a), as the owner and loss payable beneficiary, (iii) be on an “occurrence” basis, (iv) cover all of Tenant’s operations at the Facility or portion of the Premises, (v) provide that the policy may not be canceled except upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and (vi) be primary and provide that any insurance with respect to any portion of the Premises maintained by Landlord is excess and noncontributing with Tenant’s insurance. The parties hereby waive as to each other all rights of subrogation (other than with respect to Worker’s Compensation Coverage described below) which any insurance carrier, or either of them, may have by reason of any provision in any policy issued to them, provided such waiver does not thereby invalidate such policy. Original policies or satisfactory insurer certificates evidencing the existence of the insurance required by this Lease and showing the interest of Landlord shall be provided to it prior to the commencement of the Term or, for a renewal policy, not less than five (5) days prior to the expiration date of the policy being renewed. If Landlord is provided with a certificate, it may demand that Tenant provide a complete copy of the related policy within fifteen (15) days. Tenant may satisfy the insurance requirements hereunder through coverage under a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant; provided, however, that the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of this Lease by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance. During the Term, Tenant shall maintain the following insurance and any claims thereunder shall be adjudicated by and at the expense of it or its insurance carrier:

(a) Fire and Extended Coverage with respect to the Facility against loss or damage from all causes under standard “all risk” property insurance coverage with an agreed amount endorsement (such that the insurance carrier has accepted the amount of coverage and has agreed that there will be no co-insurance penalty), without exclusion for fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, smoke damage, vehicle damage, sprinkler leakage, flood, vandalism, earthquake, malicious mischief or any other risks normally covered under an extended coverage endorsement, in amounts that are not less than the actual replacement value of the Facility and all Tenant Personal Property associated therewith (including the cost of compliance with changes in zoning and building codes and other laws and regulations, demolition and debris removal and increased cost of construction). Additionally, if the Facility contains steam boilers, steam pipes, steam engines, steam turbines or other high pressure vessels, insurance with an agreed amount endorsement (such that the insurance carrier has accepted the amount of coverage and has agreed that there will be no co-insurance penalty), covering the major components of the central heating, air conditioning and ventilating systems, boilers, other pressure vessels, high pressure piping and machinery, elevators and escalators, if any, and other similar equipment installed in the Facility, in an

amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of the Facility, which policies shall insure against physical damage to and loss of occupancy and use of the Facility arising out of an accident or breakdown covered thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, insurance coverage for earthquake shall be limited to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate for the entire Premises.

(b) Commercial General Public Liability Coverage with respect to the Facility (including products liability and broad form coverage) against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Facility, affording the parties protection of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the aggregate, which maximum aggregate limit may be satisfied with the combination of commercial general public liability coverage and excess and/or umbrella coverage;

(c) Professional Liability Coverage with respect to the Facility for damages for injury, death, loss of service or otherwise on account of professional services rendered or which should have been rendered, in a minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the aggregate;

(d) Worker’s Compensation Coverage with respect to the Facility for injuries sustained by Tenant’s employees in the course of their employment and otherwise consistent with all applicable legal requirements;

(e) Business Interruption and Extra Expense Coverage with respect to the Facility for loss of rental value for a period not less than one (1) year, covering perils consistent with the requirements of Section 6(a) and providing that any covered loss thereunder shall be payable to the Landlord as its interests may appear, and (A) including either an agreed amount endorsement or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, so as to prevent Tenant, Landlord and any other insured thereunder from being a co-insurer, or (B) if such insurance contains a coinsurance provision, with a limit greater than or equal to ten (10) times the amount of annual Minimum Rent and Additional Rent then payable under this Lease; and

(f) Deductibles/Self-Insured Retentions for the above policies shall not be greater than One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00). At such times and only so long as policies of insurance with deductibles or self-insured retentions not greater than One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00) are generally not available to operators of businesses similar to that then being conducted at the Premises at commercially reasonable rates, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment, the deductibles or self-insured retentions on the policies of insurance required hereunder may be in such greater amount, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment, that would result in the applicable policies being available at commercially reasonable rates, not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to windstorm/hail coverage, the deductibles/self-insured retentions for the Facility shall be equal to the greater of (i) such amounts permitted under the preceding two sentences, (ii) with respect to only those Facility located in the State of Florida, $250,000.00, and (iii) five percent (5%) of the total insurable value of the Facility.

7. Use, Regulatory Compliance and Preservation of Business.

7.1 Permitted Use.

(a) Tenant shall use, operate and occupy the Facility as a radiation or oncology related medical office building and treatment center, and for ancillary services relating thereto, but for no other purpose; provided, however, that Tenant may, with the written approval of Landlord (subject to the succeeding sentence, to be granted or withheld in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion) change the use of the Facility to a different use so long as Tenant shall continue to use, operate and occupy the Facility for a use in the medical services industry. Landlord, upon the written request of Tenant, shall approve a change in the use of the Facility if the following conditions are met: (i) the proposed change in use is for a use in the medical services industry, (ii) Tenant has obtained and provided to Landlord appraisals (prepared by an appraiser reasonably acceptable to Landlord) that take into account the proposed change in use and that demonstrate to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that the fair market value of the Facility after the change in use will not result in a material reduction of the fair market value of the Facility, and (iii) Tenant has obtained or agrees to obtain prior to such change in use all licenses, certificates, permits and all other approvals required by law in connection with operating the Facility for the proposed new use. Tenant shall operate the Facility and the Business conducted thereon in a manner consistent with all applicable laws.

(b) Tenant shall continuously and uninterruptedly use, operate and occupy the Facility throughout the Term; provided, however, that (i) Tenant may close down the operations of the Facility in connection with Tenant’s refurbishing, upgrading, or changing the permitted use of the Facility for a commercially reasonable amount of time required to complete such refurbishment, upgrades, or change in use; but in no event shall such period of time exceed two hundred seventy (270) days, and (ii) subject to the Tenant’s restoration obligations contained in this Lease, Sections 17 and 18, the Facility may be temporarily closed down to the extent and for the period of time the Facility is untenantable by reason of fire or other casualty or condemnation.

7.2 Regulatory Compliance. Tenant, the Facility and the other portions of the Premises shall be subject to all CC&R’s promulgated by, or for the benefit of, condominium or other such associations or entities, as the same may be amended from time to time and Tenant, the Facility and the other portions of the Premises shall comply in all material respects with all of such CC&R’s, as well as all licensing and other laws and other use or maintenance requirements applicable to the Business conducted thereon and, to the extent applicable, all Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payor certification requirements, including timely filing properly completed cost and other required reports, timely paying all expenses shown thereon, and ensuring that the Facility, to the extent required in connection with the then permitted use pursuant to Section 7.1(a), continues to be fully certified for participation in Medicare and Medicaid throughout the Term. Further, Tenant shall not commit any act or omission that would in any way violate any certificate of occupancy affecting the Facility. All inspection fees, costs and charges associated with a change of such licensure or certification shall be borne solely by Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall operate the Facility in full compliance with the applicable provisions of the Medicare Anti-Kickback Law, 42 U.S.C. 1320a-7(b), and the Xxxxx Self-Referral Prohibition Act, 42 U.S.C. 1395nn, et. seq., as the same may be modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, and all regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time.

7.3 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord covenants that Tenant may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, free of any claim or other action not caused or created by Tenant, subject to Section 17 or Section 18.

8. Acceptance, Maintenance, Upgrade, Alteration and Environmental.

8.1 Acceptance “AS IS”; No Liens. Tenant acknowledges that it or an Affiliate has been in possession of and operating the Premises prior to the date of this Lease and is presently engaged in operations like the Business conducted at the Facility in the state where the Facility is located and has expertise in such industry and, in deciding to enter into this Lease, has not relied on any representations or warranties, express or implied, of any kind from Landlord with respect to the Premises. Tenant has examined the condition of title to and thoroughly investigated the Premises, has selected the Premises to its own specifications, has concluded that, as of the date hereof, no improvements or modifications are required to be made by Landlord in order to conduct the Business thereon, and accepts them on an “AS IS” basis and assumes all responsibility and cost for the correction of any observed or unobserved deficiencies or violations. It is expressly understood and agreed that any inspection by or on behalf of the Landlord of the business conducted at the Premises or of the Premises is for Landlord’s sole and exclusive benefit and is not directly or indirectly for the benefit of, nor should be relied in any manner upon by, Tenant, its subtenants or any other third party. Subject to its right to Protest set forth in Section 5.1, Tenant shall not cause or permit any lien, levy or attachment to be placed or assessed against any portion of the Premises or the operation thereof (a “Lien”) other than “Permitted Exceptions” as described on Exhibit C and any mortgage, lien, encumbrance, or other charge created by or resulting solely from any act or omission of Landlord.

8.2 Tenant’s Maintenance Obligations. Tenant shall (i) keep and maintain the Premises in good appearance, repair and condition and maintain proper janitorial services, (ii) promptly make all repairs (interior and exterior, structural and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen) necessary to keep the Facility in good and lawful order and condition and in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements and laws relating to the business conducted thereon, including, if applicable certification for participation in Medicare and Medicaid, and (iii) keep and maintain all Landlord and Tenant Personal Property in good condition, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, and repair and replace such property consistent with prudent industry practice.

8.3 Alterations by Tenant. Tenant may alter, improve, exchange, replace, modify or expand (collectively, “Alterations”) the Premises from time to time as it may determine is desirable for the continuing and proper use and maintenance of the Premises; provided, that any Alterations in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) with respect to the Facility in any rolling twelve (12) month period shall require Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided further, that any Alterations to the Premises must satisfy the requirements set forth in Sections 4.04 (2) and (3) of Revenue Procedure 2001-28, 2001-19 I.R.B. 1156. All Alterations shall immediately become a part of the Premises and the property of Landlord subject to this Lease, and the cost of all Alterations or other purchases, whether undertaken as an on-going licensing, Medicare, Medicaid or other regulatory requirement, or otherwise shall be borne solely by Tenant. All Alterations shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and the insurance required under this Lease. If an Alteration changes the rentable square footage of the Facility, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord notice of the same and upon delivery of such notice, and Schedule 1 shall be deemed amended to reflect such revised rentable square footage for the Facility.

8.4 Hazardous Materials. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall comply in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws. If any Environmental Activities occur or are suspected to have occurred in material violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws or if Tenant has received written notice of any Hazardous Materials Claim against any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall promptly remedy any such violation or claim to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and in accordance in all material respects with all applicable governmental authorities, as required by Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant and Landlord shall promptly advise one another in writing upon receiving written notice of (a) any Environmental Activities in material violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws; (b) any Hazardous Materials Claims against Tenant or Landlord in connection with the Premises (or any portion of the Premises); (c) any remedial action taken by Tenant or Landlord in response to any Hazardous Materials Claims or any Hazardous Materials on, under or about any portion of the Premises in material violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws; (d) any occurrence or condition on or in the vicinity of any portion of the Premises of which Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, has actual knowledge and that materially increases the risk that any portion of the Premises will be exposed to Hazardous Materials; and (e) all material communications to or from Tenant, any governmental authority or any other Person relating to Hazardous Materials Laws or Hazardous Materials Claims with respect to any portion of the Premises, including copies thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any Hazardous Materials are discovered on or under any portion of the Facility in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law, the Term shall be automatically extended with respect to the Facility only and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Facility only until the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of all remedial action or monitoring, as reasonably approved by Landlord, in accordance with all Hazardous Materials Laws, or (ii) the date specified in a written notice from Landlord to Tenant terminating this Lease (which date may be subsequent to the date upon which the Term was to have expired). Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Initial Term of this Lease is renewed pursuant to Section 1, above, in no event shall the provisions of this Section 8.4 extend the Term for the Facility beyond December 31, 2027 as to the Facility; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligations to complete all remedial action or monitoring pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall survive any such termination of the Term. Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) and with counsel chosen by Landlord, to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims.

8.5 Medical Waste. Tenant shall be responsible for all Medical Waste disposal for the Facility, which disposal shall be provided by a licensed medical waste hauler and shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders. If Tenant elects to provide Medical Waste disposal services to the subtenants in the Facility, such services shall be provided in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders.

9. Tenant Property.

9.1 Tenant Property. Tenant may obtain and install all items of furniture, fixtures, trade fixtures, supplies and equipment as Tenant determines are reasonably necessary or reasonably appropriate to operate the Premises (“Tenant Personal Property”).

and permits necessary or desirable for Tenant’s use of any portion of the Premises, any applicable certificate of need, occupancy or other similar certificate, and the exclusive right to transfer, move or apply for the foregoing and manage the business conducted at any portion of the Premises; and the right to use the name and any other trade or other name now or hereafter associated with its operation of the Premises.

9.2 Schedule of Tenant Property. Upon receipt of written request from Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a schedule of all lenders, purchase money equipment financiers, equipment lessors, and other parties who, other than Tenant, have any liens, security interests, ownership interests, or other similar interests in and to any Tenant Personal Property within the Premises with a value of or exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Tenant Property Schedule”). The Tenant Property Schedule shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall include: (i) the name, address, and other contact information for the agent or lead bank (“Agent Bank”) in connection with Tenant’s senior credit facility, and (ii) a detailed breakdown of each applicable item of Tenant Personal Property, its age, useful economic life, and estimated value, and any lenders, purchase money equipment financiers, equipment lessors, or other parties who have a lien, security interest, ownership interest, or other similar ownership interest in such item and the contact information for any and all such parties. Tenant shall be required to deliver to Landlord an updated Tenant Property Schedule upon the commencement of each Lease Year and in connection with any change or replacement of Agent Bank.

9.3 Waiver of Landlord’s Lien. Landlord hereby waives any statutory or common law lien that may be granted or deemed to be granted to Landlord in Tenant Personal Property or Tenant Intangible Property. Landlord agrees that, upon the request of any Person that shall be providing senior secured financing to Tenant, or a purchase money equipment financier or equipment lessor of Tenant, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, negotiate in good faith for the purpose of executing and delivering a commercially reasonable waiver or subordination of Landlord’s statutory lien rights, if any, and a consent and agreement with respect to the respective rights of Landlord and such Person regarding the security interests in, and the timing and removal of, any Tenant Personal Property or Tenant Intangible Property which such Person has a secured interest (the “Collateral”), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and such Person, so long as such waiver and agreement (i) provides for the indemnification of Landlord against any claims by Tenant or any Person claiming through Tenant, and against any physical damage caused to the Premises, in connection with the removal of any of the Collateral by such Person, (ii) provides for a reasonable, but limited, time frame for the removal of such Collateral by such Person after the expiration of which same shall be deemed abandoned, and (iii) provides for the per diem payment of Rent due hereunder by such Person for each day following the date of the expiration or termination of this Lease that Landlord permits such Person’s Collateral to remain in the Premises.

10. Financial, Management and Regulatory Reports. Upon receipt of written request from Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the reports listed in Exhibit E at the time described therein, and such other information about it or the operations of the Premises and the Business as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time, including such information reasonably requested in connection with a financing of the Premises sought by Landlord. All financial information provided shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and shall be submitted electronically in the form of unrestricted, unlocked “.xls” spreadsheets (or, if restricted or locked, Landlord has been provided with all necessary passwords and access keys required to fully access or extract the subject data therefrom) created using Microsoft Excel (2003 or newer editions). In the

event Tenant fails to provide Landlord with the reports listed in Exhibit E within the time periods specified therein, Tenant shall have a grace period of five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord to provide such reports, after which Tenant will be assessed with a $500.00 administrative fee, which administrative fee shall be immediately due and payable to Landlord.

Each party represents and warrants to the other that: (i) this Lease and all other documents executed or to be executed by it in connection herewith have been duly authorized and shall be binding upon it; (ii) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation and is duly authorized and qualified to perform this Lease within the state(s) where any portion of the Premises is located; and (iii) neither this Lease nor any other document executed or to be executed in connection herewith violates the terms of any other agreement of such party.

12. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” on the part of Tenant, and there shall be no cure period therefor except as otherwise expressly provided:

(a) Tenant’s failure to pay any Rent when due within two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Landlord of such failure;

(c) (i) The suspension or material limitation of any license, or, if applicable, the certification of any portion of the Premises for provider status under Medicare or Medicaid which would have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Facility for the then permitted use pursuant to Section 7.1(a); provided, however, if any such suspension or material limitation is curable by Tenant it shall not constitute an Event of Default if Tenant promptly commences to cure such breach and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to the completion thereof within the lesser of (x) the time period in which the applicable governmental agency has given Tenant to undertake corrective action or (y) one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of any such suspension or material limitation; (ii) the revocation of any license or, if applicable, the certification of any portion of the Premises for provider status under Medicare or Medicaid which would have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Facility for the then permitted use pursuant to Section 7.1(a); (iii) the discontinuance of operations at the Facility, except as may be permitted pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 24.5; (iv) the failure to maintain any certificate of need or other similar certificate or license required to operate the Facility for the then permitted use in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1, which failure would have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Facility; or (v) the use of any material portion of the Premises other than as permitted pursuant to Section 7.1;

(d) A default beyond any applicable cure period by Tenant (i) with respect to any obligation in excess of One Million dollars ($1,000,000.00) under any other lease, agreement or obligation between Tenant and Landlord or any of Landlord’s Affiliates, or (ii) in any payment of principal or interest on any obligations of borrowed money to third parties having an aggregate principal balance of One Hundred Million dollars ($100,000,000.00) or more in the aggregate, or in the performance of any other provision contained in any instrument under which any such obligation is created or secured (including the breach of any covenant thereunder), (x) if such payment is a payment at

maturity or a final payment, or (y) if an effect of such default is to cause, or permit any Person to cause, such obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity;

(e) A default beyond any applicable cure period by any Guarantor under the Guaranty;

(f) Any material misrepresentation by Tenant under this Lease or in any written report, notice or communication made pursuant hereto from Tenant to Landlord with respect to Tenant, any Guarantor, or the Premises;

(g) The failure to perform or comply with the provisions of Sections 6 or 16;

(h) If (i) Tenant shall generally not pay its debts as they become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make an assignment of all or substantially all of its property for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) a receiver, trustee or liquidator shall be appointed for Tenant or the Facility if such appointment is not discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of such appointment; (iii) the filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition under any federal bankruptcy or state law to be adjudicated as bankrupt or for any arrangement or other debtor’s relief; or (iv) the involuntary filing of such a petition against Tenant by any other party unless such petition is dismissed within ninety (90) days after filing; or

(i) The failure to perform or comply with any other provision of this Lease not requiring the payment of money unless Tenant cures it either (i) within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord of such failure or (ii) if such default cannot with due diligence be so cured because of the nature of the default or delays beyond the control of Tenant and cure after such period will not have a materially adverse effect upon the Facility, then such default shall not constitute an Event of Default if Tenant uses its best efforts to cure such default by promptly commencing and diligently pursuing such cure to the completion thereof and cures it within one hundred eighty (180) days after such notice from Landlord.

13. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord may exercise all rights and remedies under this Lease and the laws of the state(s) where the Premises are located that are available to a lessor of real and personal property in the event of a default by its lessee. Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate damages unless required by applicable law and shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to relet any of the Premises or to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. Tenant shall pay Landlord, immediately upon demand, all expenses incurred by it in obtaining possession and reletting any of the Premises, including reasonable fees, commissions and costs of attorneys, architects, agents and brokers.

13.1 General. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to do any of the following upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) xxx for the specific performance of any covenant of Tenant as to which it is in breach; (b) enter upon any portion of the Premises, terminate this Lease, dispossess Tenant from the Premises, by any available legal process, and/or collect money damages by reason of Tenant’s breach, including the acceleration of (i) all Minimum Rent and Additional Rent which would have accrued after such termination, discounted at an annual rate equal to the then-current U.S. Treasury Note rate for the closest comparable term and taking into account any obligation on behalf of Landlord to mitigate its damages to the extent required by law, and (ii) all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease which survive the termination of the

Term; (c) elect to leave this Lease in place and xxx for Rent and other money damages as the same come due; and (d) (before or after repossession of the Premises pursuant to clause (b) above and whether or not this Lease has been terminated) relet any portion of the Premises to such tenant(s), for such term(s) (which may be greater or less than the remaining balance of the Term), rent, conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and uses as it may determine in its sole discretion and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting.

13.2 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Any notice or cure period provided herein shall run concurrently with any provided by applicable law. No failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained herein shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof as to any similar or different breach (future or otherwise) by Tenant. Landlord’s receipt of any rent or other sum due hereunder (including any late charge) with knowledge of any breach shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be effective unless expressed in a writing signed by it.

13.3 Performance of Tenant’s Obligations. If Tenant at any time shall fail to make any payment or perform any act on its part required to be made or performed under this Lease, then Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations or default hereunder, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and enter upon any portion of the Premises for the purpose of taking all such action as may be reasonably necessary. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and incidental costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the performance of any such act by it, together with interest at the Agreed Rate from the date of the making of such payment or the incurring of such costs and expenses, shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon Landlord’s written demand therefor.

13.4 Limited Remedy Event of Defaults. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, or any other provisions of this Lease or any other concurrent transaction document, if Landlord is exercising remedies due solely to the Events of Default described in clauses (c), (d), (e), (f) or (i) of Section 12 (“Limited Remedy Events of Default”), the aggregate amount Tenant shall be required to pay to Landlord from and after the date of the occurrence of such Limited Remedy Event of Default (the “Occurrence Date”) shall be limited to the sum of (i) (A) 89.9% of the fair market value of the Premises as of the commencement date less (B) the sum of the present value as of the Effective Date (using an annual discount rate equal to Fifteen and 65/100 percent (15.65%)) of all Minimum Rent and Additional Rent received as of the Occurrence Date, (ii) any amounts of Taxes and Other Charges which are due and payable or have accrued under this Lease through the Occurrence Date, and (iii) any amounts of Taxes and Other Charges which are due and payable or have accrued under this Lease after the Occurrence Date while or so long as the Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after any Limited Remedy Event of Default that relates to insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance, environmental maintenance, remediation and compliance and other customary costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the Premises in substantial compliance with the terms of this Lease.

14. Provisions on Termination.

14.1 Surrender of Possession. On the expiration of the Term or earlier termination or cancellation of this Lease (the “Termination Date”), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its designee possession of (a) the Premises (or portion thereof if the expiration, termination, or cancellation of this Lease is not with respect to the entire Premises) in broom clean condition and in as good a condition as existed at the date of their possession and occupancy pursuant to this Lease, except as repaired, replaced, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, (b) all subtenant leases and security deposits, all documentation related to the subtenants (including financials and past correspondence) and copies of all Tenant’s books and records relating solely to the Premises, and (c) plans, specifications, drawings or similar materials in connection with the Facility.

14.2 Removal of Tenant Personal Property. Tenant may remove from the Premises in a workmanlike manner all Tenant Personal Property, leaving the Premises in good and presentable condition and appearance, including repair of any damage caused by such removal. Title to any Tenant Personal Property which is not removed by Tenant as permitted above upon the expiration of the Term shall, at Landlord’s election, vest in Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may remove and store or dispose at Tenant’s expense any or all of such Tenant Personal Property which is not so removed by Tenant without obligation or accounting to Tenant.

14.3 Holding Over. If Tenant shall for any reason remain in possession of any portion of the Premises after the Termination Date, such possession shall be a month-to-month tenancy during which time Tenant shall pay as rental on the first (1st) Business Day of each month one and one-half (1-1/2) times the total of the monthly Minimum Rent payable with respect to the last Lease Year plus Additional Rent allocable to the month, all additional charges accruing during the month and all other sums, if any, payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the Termination Date, nor shall anything contained herein be deemed to limit Landlord’s remedies.

14.4 Survival. All covenants, indemnities and other obligations of Tenant under this Lease which arise on or prior to the Termination Date or which specifically survive the expiration or termination by their own terms shall survive the Termination Date.

15. Certain Landlord Rights.

15.1 Entry and Examination of Records. Landlord and its representatives may enter any portion of the Premises at any reasonable time upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours written notice to Tenant (which notice may be transmitted in the form of electronic mail or other similar electronic means) to inspect the Premises for compliance with this Lease, to exhibit the Premises for sale, lease or mortgaging, or for any other reasonable purpose; provided that no such notice shall be required in the event of an emergency, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to post notices of non-responsibility under any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien law. No such entry shall unreasonably interfere with Tenant or any subtenants in the Facility or the business operated thereon. During normal business hours (and upon reasonable notice), Tenant will permit Landlord and its representatives (coordinated through Landlord) to examine and make abstracts from any of Tenant’s books and records (other than materials protected by the attorney-client privilege and materials which such person may not disclose without violation of a confidentiality obligation binding upon it); provided that, so long as no

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall not be entitled to exercise the foregoing rights more than once, in the aggregate, in any calendar year.

15.2 Grant Liens. Any Lien or other encumbrance now existing and securing any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing or otherwise shall provide for the recognition of this Lease and all Tenant’s rights hereunder. Subject to the foregoing sentence and Section 7.3, without the consent of Tenant, Landlord may from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any Lien, title retention agreement or other encumbrance upon the Premises, or any portion thereof or interest therein (including this Lease), whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing or otherwise. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall subordinate this Lease to the Lien of any such encumbrance so long as (a) such encumbrance provides that it is subject to the rights of Tenant under this Lease and that so long as no Event of Default shall exist beyond any applicable cure period, Tenant’s occupancy shall not be disturbed if any Person takes possession of the applicable portion of the Premises through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise and (b) is otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

15.3 Estoppel Certificates. At any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written request by either Landlord or Tenant (the “Requesting Party”) to the other party (the “Responding Party”), the Responding Party shall have an authorized representative execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party or its designee a written statement certifying (a) that this Lease, together with any specified modifications, is in full force and effect, (b) the dates to which Rent and additional charges have been paid, (c) that no default currently exists on the part of the Responding Party, and to the Responding Party’s actual knowledge, on the part of the Requesting Party or specifying any such default, and (d) as to such other matters as the Requesting Party may reasonably request.

15.4 Conveyance Release. If Landlord or any successor owner shall transfer any portion of the Premises in accordance with this Lease, they shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer, which instead shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.

16. Assignment and Subletting.

16.1 No Assignment or Subletting. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld or conditioned at its sole discretion, this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assigned or encumbered by operation of law, nor shall Tenant voluntarily or involuntarily assign, mortgage, encumber or hypothecate any interest in this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises. Any foregoing acts without such consent shall be void and shall, at Landlord’s sole option, constitute an Event of Default giving rise to Landlord’s right, among other things, to terminate this Lease. An assignment of this Lease by Tenant shall be deemed to include: (a) entering into a management or similar agreement relating to the operation or control of any portion of the Premises with a Person that is not an Affiliate of Tenant; or (b) any change (voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, including the transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or other disposition of any equity interest in Tenant) in the Person that ultimately exert effective Control over the management of the affairs of Tenant or Guarantor as of the date hereof; provided that an initial public offering of Tenant or Guarantor shall not be deemed to be an assignment of the Lease so long as thereafter less than twenty five percent (25%) of the voting stock of Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, is held by any Person or related group that did not have such ownership before the initial public offering.

16.2 Permitted Assignments and Sublets.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 16.1 above, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof to an Affiliate of Tenant or any Guarantor if all of the following are first satisfied: (i) such Affiliate fully assumes Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (ii) Tenant remains fully liable hereunder and any Guarantor remains fully liable under its guaranty; (iii) the use of the applicable portion of the Premises shall comply with Section 7.1, above; (iv) Landlord shall be provided the proposed form and content of all documents for such assignment or sublease on or before the date that is twenty (20) days prior to such assignment or sublease, and (v) Landlord shall be provided executed copies of all such documents within fifteen (15) Business Days after such assignment or sublease.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 16.1 above, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any assignment of this Lease or change of Control of Tenant or Guarantor if the consolidated net worth of the successor Tenant (in the case of an assignment) or Tenant (in the case of a change of Control of Tenant), as applicable (such entity “Resulting Tenant”) or, successor Guarantor (in the case of an assignment) or Guarantor (in the case of a change of Control of Guarantor), as applicable (such entity, “Resulting Guarantor”) immediately after the effectiveness of the assignment or change of Control is equal to or greater than Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000.00) (such assignment or change of Control, a “Strong Tenant/Guarantor Transfer”), and each of the following conditions is met: (i) Resulting Tenant and/or Resulting Guarantor, or the officers, directors or managers thereof or of the Person that controls Resulting Tenant or Resulting Guarantor, as applicable, has sufficient operating experience and history with respect to the Business of the Facility as had Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable (or the officers, directors or managers thereof or of the Person that controls Tenant or Guarantor) immediately prior to the Strong Tenant/Guarantor Transfer, or has retained a management company with such expertise to manage the Facility; (ii) after a Strong Tenant/Guarantor Transfer, the Resulting Tenant and/or Resulting Guarantor, if different than the Tenant or Guarantor immediately prior to such Strong Tenant/Guarantor Transfer, shall assume all of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease and Guarantor under the Guaranty accruing subsequent to the effective date of such Strong Tenant/Guarantor Transfer by a written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (the “Lease/Guaranty Assumption”); and (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder. A Person shall be deemed to have “sufficient operating experience and history” if, immediately prior to the Strong Tenant/Guarantor Transfer, such Person (together with its Affiliates and/or officers, directors and managers) (x) operated or managed (whether directly or through its operating subsidiary(ies)) at least twelve (12) Facility engaged in the Business of the Facility (or the number of such Facility operated and/or managed by Guarantor, whichever is less) and (y) has been in the business of operating or managing such Facility for at least three (3) years (or for such period as Guarantor has been in such business, whichever is less). Upon delivery of the Lease/Guaranty Assumption, Landlord shall release Tenant from any liability under the Lease and Guarantor from any liability under the Guaranty first accruing from and after the effective date of such Strong Tenant/Guarantor Transfer.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 16.1 above, Tenant may, (i) without Landlord’s prior written consent, sublet portions of the Facility in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business to subtenants of the Facility for customary uses ancillary to Tenant’s permitted use including, pharmacy, physical therapy, and sundry providers, and (ii) subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, sublet all or any portion of the Premises, in each case using a form of sublease reasonably approved by Landlord.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 16.1 above and subject to Tenant’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.2, Tenant shall have the right from time to time during the Term hereof and without Landlord’s further approval, written or otherwise, to grant and assign a security interest in Tenant’s interest in all Tenant Personal Property or other property of Tenant that is not a part of the Premises to Tenant’s lenders. In addition, Tenant may grant and assign a mortgage or other security interest in Tenant’s interest in this Lease to Tenant’s lenders in connection with Tenant’s financing of Tenant’s interest in this Lease provided that: (i) Tenant pays all reasonable costs, expenses and charges of Landlord incident to the granting of any such mortgage or other security interest, including Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and (ii) Landlord has approved, in its reasonable discretion, the form of leasehold mortgage pursuant to which Tenant is granting a leasehold mortgage or other security interest in this Lease.

(e) Tenant hereby acknowledges that an assignment, subleasing or other transfer of the Premises or a portion thereof under this Section 16 will cause Landlord to incur administrative and other expenses not contemplated under this Lease. Accordingly, prior to or concurrently with an assignment, sublease or other transfer of the Premises or a portion thereof pursuant to Section 16.1 or Sections 16.2, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment, sublease, or other similar transfer.

(f) In no event shall Tenant sublet any portion of the Premises on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee would be based, in whole or in part, on either the income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or any other formula, such that any portion of the sublease rental received by Landlord would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

17. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any material damage or destruction of any portion of the Premises and diligently repair or reconstruct such portion of the Premises in a good and xxxxxxx like manner to a like or better condition than existed prior to such damage or destruction in accordance with Section 8.4. So long as no Event of Default exists, any award of insurance proceeds up to and including One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) shall be paid directly to Tenant. In the event that any award of net insurance proceeds payable with respect to the casualty are in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), such insurance proceeds (i) shall be paid directly to Landlord, and (ii) if no Event of Default exists, shall be made available to Tenant for the repair or reconstruction of the applicable portion of the Premises subject to the following disbursement requirements:

(a) prior to commencement of restoration, the architects, contracts, contractors, plans and specifications, payment and performance bond from the general contractor for the work and a budget for the restoration shall have been approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned;

(b) Tenant shall possess such additional funds which Landlord reasonably determines are needed to pay all costs of the repair or restoration and such Tenant funds shall be made available by Tenant as required to pay for the costs of the restoration;

(c) at the time of any disbursement, except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.1, no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have been filed against any of the Premises and remain undischarged;

(d) disbursements shall be made from time to time (within reasonable time frames to perform and complete the restoration, but not more frequently than monthly) in an amount not exceeding the cost of the restoration completed since the last disbursement, upon receipt of (i) satisfactory evidence, including architects’ certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and performance of the restoration to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all material respects with the contracts, plans and specifications, (ii) waivers of liens, and (iii) contractors’ and subcontractors’ sworn statements as to completed work and the cost thereof for which payment is requested; and

(e) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant, signed by an officer of Tenant, describing the restoration for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such restoration and, upon completion of the restoration, also stating that the restoration has been fully completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease.

If such proceeds are insufficient, Tenant shall provide the required additional funds; if such proceeds are more than sufficient, the surplus shall belong and be paid to Tenant upon completion of the restoration in accordance with the requirements of this Lease. Tenant shall not have any right under this Lease, and hereby waives all rights under applicable law, to xxxxx, reduce or offset rent by reason of any damage or destruction of any portion of the Premises of any amount by reason of an insured or uninsured casualty.

If at any time during the last two (2) years of the Term, fire or other casualty shall render the whole or any portion of the Facility untenantable and the Facility (or any portion thereof) cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of such event, then Tenant, by notice in writing to Landlord within ninety (90) days from the date of such damage or destruction, may terminate this Lease with respect to the Facility effective upon a date within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice in which event (i) the insurance proceeds payable with respect to the casualty to the Facility (except to the extent related to Tenant Personal Property) shall be paid to Landlord, and (ii) this Lease shall be deemed terminated as to the Facility and Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder shall be reduced by the product of (x) the amount of the then current Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the portion of Landlord’s Investment allocated to the Facility and the denominator of which is Landlord’s Investment.

18. Condemnation. Except as provided to the contrary in this Section 18, this Lease shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect in the event of a taking or condemnation of the Premises, or any portion thereof, and Tenant hereby waives all rights under applicable law to xxxxx, reduce or offset Rent by reason of such taking. If during the Term all or substantially all (a “Complete Taking”) or a smaller portion (a “Partial Taking”) of the Facility is taken or condemned by any competent public or quasi-public authority, then (a) in the case of a Complete Taking, Tenant may at its

election made within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such Taking, terminate this Lease with respect to the Facility and the current Rent shall be equitably abated as of the effective date of such termination, or (b) in the case of a Partial Taking, the Rent shall be abated to the same extent as the resulting diminution in Fair Market Value of the applicable portion of the Premises. The resulting diminution in Fair Market Value on the effective date of a Partial Taking shall be as established pursuant to Exhibit B. In the event this Lease is terminated as to the Facility under this Section 18, then the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder shall be reduced by the product of (i) the amount of the then current Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the portion of Landlord’s Investment allocated to the Facility and the denominator of which is Landlord’s Investment.

22. Miscellaneous. Since each party has been represented by counsel and this Lease has been freely and fairly negotiated, all provisions shall be interpreted according to their fair meaning and shall not be strictly construed against any party. While nothing contained in this Lease should be deemed or construed to constitute an extension of credit by Landlord to Tenant, if a portion of any payment made to Landlord is deemed to violate any applicable laws regarding usury, such portion shall be held by Landlord to pay the future obligations of Tenant as such obligations arise and if Tenant discharges and performs all obligations hereunder, such funds will be reimbursed (without interest) to Tenant on the Termination Date. If any part of this Lease shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect. Time is of the essence, and whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) hereunder during a certain period of time or by a particular date that ends or occurs on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, then such period or date shall be extended until the immediately following Business Day. Whenever the words “including”, “include” or “includes” are used in this Lease, they shall be interpreted in a non-

exclusive manner as though the words “without limitation” immediately followed. Whenever the words day or days are used in this Lease, they shall mean “calendar day” or “calendar days” unless expressly provided to the contrary. The titles and headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision. Unless otherwise expressly provided, references to any “Section” mean a section of this Lease (including all subsections), to any “Exhibit” or “Schedule” mean an exhibit or schedule attached hereto or to “Medicare” or “Medicaid” mean such programs and shall include any successor program. If more than one Person is Tenant hereunder, their liability and obligations hereunder shall be joint and several. Promptly upon the request of either party and at its expense, the parties shall prepare, enter into and record a suitable short form memorandum of this Lease. This Lease (a) contains the entire agreement of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous verbal or written agreements or understandings, (b) may be executed in one or more facsimile or electronic counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document, (c) may only be amended by a writing executed by the parties, (d) shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties, (e) shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof, provided that the law of the State in which the Facility is located (each a “Situs State”) shall govern procedures for enforcing, in the respective Situs State, provisional and other remedies directly related to the Facility and related personal property as may be required pursuant to the law of such Situs State, including without limitation the appointment of a receiver; and, further provided that the law of the Situs State also applies to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to create, perfect and foreclose the security interests and liens created under this Lease, and (f) incorporates by this reference any Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto.

23. Right of First Refusal.

(a) During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 23. Tenant shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the entire Property subject to a Third Party Offer (as defined below). Within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s decision to accept a Third Party Offer (or its acceptance of such offer subject to the right of first refusal granted herein) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) (i) stating that Landlord is prepared to accept (or has already accepted subject to the right of first refusal granted herein) the applicable Third Party Offer, (ii) identifying the Facility, and (iii) describing the material terms and conditions (including purchase price and xxxxxxx money deposit) under which the third party proposes to purchase the Facility.

(b) As used herein, “Third Party Offer” shall mean a written offer, proposal, letter of intent or similar instrument setting forth the material terms and conditions under which a third party which is not an Affiliate of Landlord proposes to enter into a purchase of the Property.

(c) Tenant shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from its receipt of an Offer Notice to elect to purchase the Facility by delivery of written notice of such election to Landlord (the “Purchase Notice”). For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant may only elect to purchase all of the Facility and may not elect to purchase some but not all of the Facility.

(d) Landlord and Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from Landlord’s receipt of the Purchase Notice (the “Purchase Agreement Period”) to negotiate in good faith a purchase and sale agreement and related documentation necessary to complete the disposition of the Facility (the

“Purchase Documentation”). The Purchase Documentation shall contain the purchase xxxxx, xxxxxxx money deposit, and other material terms and conditions contained in the Third Party Offer. In the event Landlord and Tenant enter into the Purchase Documentation within the Purchase Agreement Period, then the transaction that is the subject of such Purchase Documentation shall be consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof (the “Closing Date”).

(e) In the event that (i) Tenant does not timely provide the Purchase Notice, (ii) Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Purchase Documentation within the Purchase Agreement Period, or (iii) following execution of the Purchase Documentation, the transaction that is the subject thereof is not consummated on or before the Closing Date as a result of a default by Tenant in its obligations under the Purchase Documentation, then Landlord shall be free to sell the Facility to the third party who submitted the Third Party Offer on terms not materially more favorable to the acquiring party than are set forth in the applicable Third Party Offer. If such sale is not consummated within thirty (30) days following the Purchase Agreement Period, or if at any time Landlord agrees with such third party to modify the terms of the proposed transaction in a manner materially more favorable to the third party, Tenant’s right of first refusal as granted herein shall be reinstituted and Landlord shall give Tenant prompt written notice of the same.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 23 which may be construed or interpreted to the contrary, the terms of this Section 23 (including the right of first refusal granted herein) shall not apply to any of the following: (i) any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the Premises or any portion thereof to any Affiliate, parent, or subsidiary of Landlord or to a joint venture entity, relationship, partnership or similar business arrangement in which Landlord or any of Landlord’s Affiliates is the managing member or general partner and holds at least a twenty five percent (25%) equity ownership interest, (ii) to any merger, business combination, or similar transaction involving all or substantially all of the assets of Landlord and its Affiliates; or (iii) any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure pursuant to any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter encumbering the Premises or any portion thereof in favor of an unaffiliated third party.

(g) In the event Tenant purchases the Facility pursuant to this Section 23, this Lease shall terminate as to the Facility and the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder shall be reduced by the product of (i) the amount of the then current Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the portion of Landlord’s Investment allocable to the Facility and the denominator of which is Landlord’s Investment.

24. Tax Treatment; Reporting. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that each shall treat this transaction as a true lease for state law purposes and shall report this transaction as a lease for Federal income tax purposes. For Federal income tax purposes each shall report this Lease as a true lease with Landlord as the owner of the Premises and Tenant as the lessee of such Premises including: (1) treating Landlord as the owner of the property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Section 167 or 168 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) with respect to the Premises, (2) Tenant reporting its Rent payments as rent expense under Section 162 of the Code, and (3) Landlord reporting the Rent payments as rental income. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to constitute a guaranty, warranty or representation by either Landlord or Tenant as to the actual treatment of this transaction for state law purposes and for federal income tax purposes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Lease has been executed by Landlord and Tenant as of the date first written above.

FAIR MARKET VALUE

“Fair Market Value” or “Fair Market Rent” means the fair market value (or fair market rent, as applicable) of the Premises or applicable portion thereof on a specified date as agreed to by the parties, or failing such agreement within ten (10) days of such date, as established pursuant the following appraisal process. Each party shall within ten (10) days after written demand by the other select one MAI Appraiser to participate in the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rent, as applicable. For all purposes under this Lease, the Fair Market Value shall be the fair market value of the Premises or applicable portion thereof unencumbered by this Lease. Within ten (10) days of such selection, the MAI Appraisers so selected by the parties shall select a third (3rd) MAI Appraiser. The three (3) selected MAI Appraisers shall each determine the Fair Market Value (or, as applicable, Fair Market Rent) of the Premises or applicable portion thereof within thirty (30) days of the selection of the third appraiser. To the extent consistent with sound appraisal practices as then existing at the time of any such appraisal, and if requested by Landlord, such appraisal shall be made on a basis consistent with the basis on which the Premises or applicable portion thereof were appraised at the time of their acquisition by Landlord. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses of any MAI Appraiser retained pursuant to this Exhibit.

If either party fails to select a MAI Appraiser within the time period set forth in the foregoing paragraph, the MAI Appraiser selected by the other party shall alone determine the fair market value (or, as applicable, fair market rent) of the Premises or applicable portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit and the Fair Market Value (or Fair Market Rent) so determined shall be binding upon the parties. If the MAI Appraisers selected by the parties are unable to agree upon a third (3rd) MAI Appraiser within the time period set forth in the foregoing paragraph, either party shall have the right to apply at Tenant’s expense to the presiding judge of the court of original trial jurisdiction in the county in which the Premises or applicable portion thereof are located to name the third (3rd) MAI Appraiser.

Within five (5) days after completion of the third (3rd) MAI Appraiser’s appraisal, ail three (3) MAI Appraisers shall meet and a majority of the MAI Appraisers shall attempt to determine the fair market value (or, as applicable, fair market rent) of the Premises or applicable portion thereof. If a majority are unable to determine the fair market value (or fair market rent) at such meeting, the three (3) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by three (3). The resulting quotient shall be the Fair Market Value (or, as applicable, Fair Market Rent). If, however, either or both of the low appraisal or the high appraisal are more than ten percent (10%) lower or higher than the middle appraisal, any such lower or higher appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one (1) appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two (2), and the resulting quotient shall be such Fair Market Value (or, as applicable, Fair Market Rent). If both the lower appraisal and higher appraisal are disregarded as provided herein, the middle appraisal shall be such Fair Market Value (or Fair Market Rent). In any event, the result of the foregoing appraisal process shall be final and binding.

“MAI Appraiser” shall mean an appraiser licensed or otherwise qualified to do business in the state(s) where the Premises or applicable portion thereof are located and who has substantial experience in performing appraisals of Facility similar to the Premises or applicable portion thereof and is certified as a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or certified as a SRPA by the Society of Real Estate Appraisers, or, if such organizations no longer exist or certify appraisers, such successor organization or such other organization as is approved by Landlord.
