of the Lease Term shall be conditioned upon there not being any final judgment
entered against Tenant, based on a Resident Liability Claim, exceeding Tenant's
ability to pay. A judgment shall be considered final when it is no longer

as
confirmed in writing by the insurer; (2) Tenant's liquid net worth as of
the
most recent financial statement of Tenant furnished to Landlord in accordance
with the Agreement To Lease; and (3) Tenant's ability to borrow or otherwise
obtain funds to satisfy the judgment, as confirmed by a written commitment
to
lend, received by Tenant and provided to Landlord within seven (7) Business
Days

Other Facilities and/or to perform services necessary to restore the Facility
and/or Other Facilities to Good Condition is referred to hereafter as the
"Restoration Cost"; Tenant shall maintain the Facility and Other Facilities
at
all times so that the Restoration Cost shall at no time be greater than $200,000
(such amount, the "Repair Maximum"). Issuance of a written report by a qualified
inspector identifying conditions at the Facility and/or Other Facilities
which
cause the Restoration Cost to exceed the Repair Maximum shall constitute
a
Performance Trigger Event.
9
4.5 Upon
the occurrence of any Performance Trigger Event, Tenant shall provide Landlord,
within ten (10) business days, with a written plan ("Plan of Correction")
describing Tenant's plans, if any, to remedy the condition giving rise to
the
Performance Trigger Event, i.e., to cause the Rent Ratio requirement to be
met
for the following Quarter, to satisfy the judgment, or to restore the Facility
and/or Other Facilities to a condition such that the remaining Restoration
Cost
will not exceed the Repair Maximum (any such remedy, the "Cure"). Failure
of
Tenant to submit a timely Plan of Correction, detailing a proposed Cure which
can feasibly be accomplished within ninety (90) days, shall be an Event of
Default. If Tenant submits a timely Plan of Correction, Tenant's failure
to
complete the proposed Cure within ninety (90) days shall be an Event of Default.
Notwithstanding the above, failure to maintain the Leased Property in Good
Condition shall not be an Event of Default if such failure is the result
of
casualty loss and Tenant has complied with the other terms of this Lease,
including the duty as to restoration as described in Section 18 and Section
20
below.

provided, that Base Rent shall be modified as follows.
11
A. Base
Rent shall be increased or decreased for each Lease Year after the initial

Year by the percentage increase or decrease in the national Consumer Price
Index
for Urban Wage Earners for the most recent month's data published in the
most
recent publication by the U.S. Department of Labor, as of the third month

to the beginning of such Lease Year, as compared to the same month of the
prior
year, provided that no such increase shall exceed four percent (4%) for any
Lease Year.
B. Base
Rent shall be reduced in the event of casualty loss as described in Section
18,
or pursuant to government action as described in Section 19. The first
installment of Base Rent shall be payable on the Commencement Date.

addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord, during the sixth and
subsequent Lease Years of the Lease Term, Variable Rent equal to one-half
percent (0.5%) of the annual Revenue of the Facility, payable in accordance
with
Section 6.3 below.
6.3 Revenues
of the Facility will be reported to Landlord annually, within ninety (90)
days
after the end of the fiscal year of the Tenant (which shall be the same as
the
fiscal year for the Affiliated Tenants), in the consolidated financial statement
of the Tenant and the Affiliated Tenants as described in Section 8(b) of
the
Agreement To Lease. The Variable Rent shall be paid, for the portion of each
Lease Year after the sixth Lease Year which falls within any Tenant fiscal
year,
within ninety (90) days after the end of the Tenant's fiscal year.
6.4 Concurrently
with payments of Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly, one-twelfth
(1/12) of the annual amount necessary to discharge Tenant's responsibility
for
Taxes pursuant to Section 9 below (such amount, the "Tax Escrow") and the
annual
amount necessary to discharge Tenant's responsibility for property insurance
pursuant to Section 10.1 below (such amount, the "Insurance Escrow"). Landlord
shall provide Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after the due date for payment
of
Taxes or insurance premiums which are the basis for Landlord's receipt of
a Tax
Escrow or Insurance Escrow payment from Tenant, with documentation confirming
that such Taxes or insurance premium has been paid; similarly, and without
waiving the requirement for payment of Tax Escrow and Insurance Escrow payments
to Landlord, in the event that any Taxes or insurance premiums are paid directly
by Tenant to a taxing agency or an insurer, Tenant shall provide Landlord
with
documentation confirming payment of such Taxes or insurance premiums within
fifteen (15) days after the due date for payment thereof.
6.5 If
the amount of the Tenant's obligations for Taxes or property insurance is
not
ascertainable at the time any payment required hereunder ("Escrow Deposit")
is
to be made, the payment shall be made on the basis of the last previously
ascertainable amount of such expense plus five percent (5%). At such time
as it
may be determined that Tenant's Escrow Deposits were higher or lower than
one
twelfth of the actual expense for the year, then if the Escrow Deposit was
too
low, Tenant shall, on the next date that Base Rent is due, pay Landlord such
additional Escrow Deposit as is necessary to bring the total amount of Escrow
Deposits into balance for the year-to-date; or, if the Escrow Deposit was
too
high, Tenant may reduce further Escrow Deposits until the correct balance
is
reached.
12
6.6 If
Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent, Variable Rent, or Escrow
Deposit on or before the fifth Business Day after such payment is due, then
in
addition to the amount of Base Rent, Variable Rent or Escrow Deposit due
and
owing, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in addition to the amount otherwise due,
interest on such amount, at the Default Rate, from the due date until the
date
of payment, plus a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the installment
so
overdue.
6.7 All
payments of Base Rent, Variable Rent, Escrow Deposits or other Additional
Rent
(i.e., any other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease)
shall be paid to Landlord by wire transfer according to instructions provided
by
Landlord to Tenant.
6.8 After
the Lease Term, the parties shall settle as to Tax Escrow payments as provided
in Section 9.8 below and settle as to Insurance Escrow payments as provided
in
Section 10.9 below.
7.
REPLACEMENT RESERVE
7.1 Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, each month during the Term, the sum of $3,300.00/month
($39,600/year) (the "Replacement Reserve Installment"), which is the amount
to
be deposited by Landlord in a fund (the "Replacement Reserve Fund") to be
utilized for capital improvements and repairs to the Facility, under the
same
terms as the "Reserve Fund For Replacement" requirements of the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") for properties subject to mortgages
which are HUD-insured under Section 232 of the National Housing Act (the
Facility is not subject to such a Mortgage). If a new Mortgage (or Mortgages)
should be granted by Landlord, in accordance with Section 21 below, and the
terms of such new Mortgage(s) require Landlord to make greater payments to
a
Replacement Reserve Fund or similar fund than the amount of the Replacement
Reserve Installment described above, the Replacement Reserve Installments
due
from Tenant shall be increased to conform to the requirements of such new
Mortgage(s).
7.2 Landlord
shall deposit the Replacement Reserve Installments received from Tenant into
a
Replacement Reserve Fund similar to the procedure used with HUD-insured
mortgages. Landlord shall make the Replacement Reserve Fund (both the balance
of
such fund as of the Commencement Date and additions thereto from the Replacement
Reserve Installments paid by Tenant) available to Tenant for reimbursement
of
amounts spent by Tenant for capital improvements and repairs, in accordance
with
the standards utilized by HUD for release of funds from a Reserve Fund For
Replacement as set out in Chapter 4 of HUD Handbook 4350.01 Rev-1 ("Multifamily
Asset Management And Project Servicing", September, 1992)(hereafter referred
to
as the "HUD Standards"). If the Facility is subject to a Mortgage requiring
Mortgagee approval of funds in the Replacement Reserve Fund, then promptly
upon
Landlord's receipt of a request from Tenant for reimbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Fund ("Draw Request"), Landlord shall submit a request
to
Landlord's Mortgagee for the release of such funds, and shall use its best
efforts to cause the mortgagee to approve the Draw Request. Upon receipt
of the
required Mortgagee approval of the Draw Request (if such approval is required),
Landlord shall make funds available to Tenant within five Business Days of
Landlord's receipt of the funds.
13
7.3 If
the Facility is subject to a Mortgage which requires that a fund similar
to a
Replacement Reserve Fund ("Mortgagee Reserve Fund") be held under the control
of
the Mortgagee, Tenant shall submit Draw Requests, and Landlord shall make
funds
available to Tenant, in accordance with the standards of the Mortgagee, which
shall be commercially reasonable. Upon approval of a Tenant Draw Request
by the
Mortgagee, Landlord shall make funds available to Tenant within five Business
Days of Landlord's receipt of the funds from the Mortgagee.
7.4 If
the Facility is not subject to a Mortgage which requires that a Replacement
Reserve Fund or Mortgagee Reserve Fund, the Replacement Reserve Installments
shall be held in a segregated federally-insured bank account to be controlled
by
Landlord to be used solely for holding Replacement Reserve Installments under
this Lease (with, at Landlord's discretion, similar payments from one or
more of
the Affiliated Tenants pursuant to the Other Leases) (such account, the "Reserve
Account"). Funds in the Reserve Account shall be the property of Tenant,
subject
to the condition that such funds may not be used for any purpose other than
reimbursement of Tenant for improvements to the Leased Property pursuant
to this
Lease and the HUD Standards. Tenant shall submit Draw Requests to Landlord
for
reimbursement from the Reserve Account in accordance with the HUD Standards,
and
Landlord shall make funds from the Reserve Account available to Tenant within
ten (10) Business Days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Draw Request (including
supporting documentation) in accordance with the HUD Standards.
7.5 All
interest earned on the funds paid by Tenant under this Section 7 shall be
added
to the Replacement Reserve Fund, Mortgagee Reserve Fund, or Reserve Fund,
as
applicable, and shall be reported for tax purposes as income of Tenant. At
the
end of the Lease Term, any funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Fund,
Mortgagee Reserve Fund or Reserve Account shall become the property of Landlord.
Tenant's obligations to maintain the Leased Premises as provided in Section
11
below, to make capital improvements as provided in Section 24 below, and
to
replace Equipment and Supplies as provided in Section 29 below shall not
be
conditioned upon the availability of funds in the Replacement Reserve Fund,
Mortgagee Reserve Fund, or Reserve Account for such purposes.
14
8.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
8.1 Tenant
shall pay Landlord, upon execution of this Lease, a Security Deposit of $330,000.00. Tenant shall be
entitled to interest ("Security Deposit Interest") on the balance of the
Security Deposit held by Landlord (the "Security Deposit Balance") for each
month at the T-Xxxx Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the last
business day of the month. Tenant shall deduct the Security Deposit Interest
due
for each month from the next installment of Base Rent otherwise
payable.
8.2 The
Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord during the Term and utilized as
to
compensate Landlord for any default by Tenant under this Lease or to compensate
any of the Affiliated Lessors for a breach of any of the Other Leases. The
Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant as hereinafter provided, at
the
termination of this Lease, provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder
and
there are no amounts owed to any of the Affiliated Lessors under the Other
Leases.
8.3 From
the Security Deposit, Landlord shall, to the extent otherwise permitted
hereunder, and subject to applicable notice and cure periods benefiting Tenant,
be entitled to deduct any amount of money reasonably required as a result
of
Tenant's default to restore the Leased Property to Good Condition or to
compensate Landlord for any other breach of this Lease, or to compensate
any of
the Affiliated Lessors for the breach of the Other Leases.
8.4 In
the event that any deduction is taken from the Security Deposit as authorized
hereunder, the Tenant shall pay Landlord, with the next installment of Base
Rent, the amount necessary to restore the Security Deposit to the original
amount.
8.5 Landlord's
obligation to pay Security Deposit Interest for any day shall be limited
to the
Security Deposit Balance as of such day.
8.6 Subject
to Section 8.7 below, the Security Deposit will not be held in a segregated
account, and may be used by Landlord or Landlord's Affiliates (including
without
limitation the Affiliated Lessors) for purposes unrelated to the Leased
Property.
8.7 During
the last eight months prior to the end of the Scheduled Lease Term, Landlord
shall hold the Security Deposit in a segregated account and shall not use
the
Security Deposit, during the remaining Lease Term, for any purpose other
than to
offset losses suffered by Landlord as a result of breach of this Lease or
the
Other Leases by Tenant or the Affiliated Tenants. If Landlord does not, prior
to
the beginning of the eighth month prior to the end of the Scheduled Lease
Term,
provide documentation to Tenant confirming to Tenant's reasonable satisfaction
that the Security Deposit is held in such a segregated account and will continue
to be held in such a segregated account during remainder of the Lease Term,
the
Tenant shall be entitled to recover the Security Deposit by offsetting, against
monthly Base Rent payments otherwise due during the last eight (8) months
of the
Lease Term, an amount each month equal to a fraction of the Security Deposit
balance, said fraction having a numerator of one and a denominator which
is the
number of months (including the month for which the offset is taken) for
which
Base Rent remains to be paid (e.g., in the last month, the entire remaining
balance of the Security Deposit may be recovered.
15
8.8 In
the event of an Event of Default by Landlord, if Landlord does not, within
thirty (30) days of such Event of Default, provide documentation confirming
to
Tenant's reasonable satisfaction that the Security Deposit is held in a
segregated account as described in Section 8.7 and will continue to be held
in
such a segregated account until such time as Landlord's default has been
cured
(or, if such default is not cured, during remainder of the Lease Term), the
Tenant shall be entitled to recover the Security Deposit by offsetting, against
the next monthly Base Rent payments otherwise due, the balance of the Security
Deposit.
8.9 Within
fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of the Lease Term, Landlord shall
give
Tenant written notice describing in detail any conditions of the Leased Property
or other breaches of this Lease or the Other Leases for which Landlord intends
to withhold any portion of the Security Deposit (provided that Landlord may
only
withhold such amounts in accordance with this Lease), and shall, along with
such
notice, deliver to Tenant any amount of the Security Deposit not claimed
by
Landlord pursuant to such notice.
9.
TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES
9.1 Tenant
shall be responsible, during the Possession Period, for payment of all real
and
personal property taxes; governmental charges and assessments; water and
sewer
rents, rates and charges; charges for public utilities; excises and levies
arising from the execution hereof; license and permit fees; and other
governmental charges, special or general, foreseen or unforeseen (hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Tax" or "Taxes") which shall be assessed, levied
or
imposed upon the Leased Property or this transaction or any part thereof
by any
federal, state, municipal, or other governmental authority; provided, that
any
periodic tax having accrued as of the Commencement Date shall be Landlord's
responsibility.
9.2 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required
to pay any franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, excise, corporate
capital
levy, capital gains or transfer tax of Landlord, or any income or excess
profits
tax of Landlord, or any tax which is in fact personal to Landlord, or any
sales,
use or other tax levied upon the rent payable by Tenant hereunder.
9.3 As
provided in Section 6.4 hereof, Tenant shall satisfy its obligations under
this
Section 9 by payment of a monthly Tax Escrow to Landlord. So long as there
is no
Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, all funds held by Landlord as
a
result of Escrow Deposits (both Tax Escrow and Insurance Escrow payments,
including interest earned on Escrow Deposits) shall be held by Landlord in
a
separate, interest-bearing account ("Escrow Account") used only for Landlord's
receipt of Escrow Payments and payment by Landlord of Taxes and insurance
obligations of Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of
Default by Tenant under this Lease all Escrow Deposit funds (including
accumulated interest) may be applied by Landlord to any obligation owed by
Tenant to Landlord; provided, that such right shall not be conclusive as
to the
actual liability of Tenant under any provision of this Lease.
16
9.4 Any
Tax relating to a fiscal period of the taxing authority, a part of which
falls
after the Commencement Date and prior to the end of the Lease Term, and a
part
of which is either prior or subsequent thereto, whether or not such Tax shall
be
assessed, levied, imposed or become a lien upon the Leased Property, or shall
become payable during the term of this Lease, shall be apportioned and adjusted
between Landlord and Tenant on a pro rata basis. If Landlord fails to pay
any
Tax for which it is responsible, Tenant may pay such amount and apply such
amount as a credit against Net Rent otherwise due.
9.5 Tenant
shall have the right to contest or review the amount or validity of any Tax
by
appropriate administrative or legal proceedings, but the provision of this
right
is not to be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending
Tenant's covenant to pay any the Tax Escrow as provided in Section 6.4 based
on
the amount stipulated by the taxing authority to be due; provided, however,
that
to the extent that any such contested Tax shall subsequently be determined
not
to be due, Tenant shall be entitled to recover any such overpayment pursuant
to
Section 6.4 above, i.e., by reducing future Escrow Deposits in the amount
of
such overpayment.
9.6 Any
contest as to the validity or amount of any Tax, or as to the assessed valuation
upon which such Tax was computed or based, whether before or after payment,
may
be made by Tenant in the name of Landlord or of Tenant, or both, as Tenant
shall
determine. Landlord agrees that it will, at Tenant's expense, cooperate with
Tenant in any such contest as to such extent as Tenant may reasonably request;
it being understood, however, that Landlord shall not be subject to any
liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any
proceeding brought by Tenant, and Tenant covenants to indemnify and save
harmless Landlord from any such costs or expenses.
9.7 If
any new Mortgage, as described in Section 21 below, establishes requirements
for
Tax payments to be made in escrow other than as described above, Tenant shall
pay Landlord the escrow amount as required by such new Mortgagee on the date
required by the terms of the Mortgage; provided, that Tenant's obligation
to pay
any increased Escrow Deposit shall be limited to commercially reasonable
amounts
(for such purpose, requirements of the Federal National Mortgage Association,
sometimes referred to herein as Xxxxxx Xxx or FNMA, shall be considered
reasonable).
9.8 At
the end of the Lease Term, any surplus of Tax Escrow payments (and accumulated
interest thereon) held by Landlord in excess of the unpaid Taxes accrued
as to
the Leased Property shall be repaid by Landlord to Tenant. If the amount
of
unpaid Taxes accrued during the Lease Term has not been conclusively determined,
as of the end of the Lease Term, Landlord may retain Tax Escrow payments
(and
interest thereon) for the estimated accrued and unpaid Taxes. For this purpose,
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the estimated Taxes for the final
year or tax period of the Lease Term shall be assumed to be 105% of the prior
year's or other tax period's Taxes. At such time as accrued but unpaid Taxes
have been conclusively determined, Landlord shall pay Tenant any remaining
excess of Tax Escrow payments (and interest thereon) held by Landlord in
excess
of such accrued but unpaid Taxes within five Business Days after determination
of such deficiency; alternatively, if the accrued but unpaid Taxes are in
excess
of the available Escrow Deposits, Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess
to
Landlord within five Business Days after determination of such
deficiency.
17
10. INSURANCE
10.1 At
all times from the Commencement Date until the end of the Lease Term, at
its own
cost and expense, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of keeping all
buildings and improvements now existing or hereafter erected as a part of
the
Leased Premises, and all Equipment leased hereunder, including all alterations,
rebuildings, replacements and additions thereto, insured against loss or
damage
by fire, windstorm, hail, explosion, damages from aircraft or vehicles and
such
other hazards, casualties, risks and contingencies as are from time to time
included within the "all risks" form of fire insurance policy with extended
coverage endorsement, in an amount at least equal to the full replacement
value
thereof, subject to deductibles in commercially reasonable amounts, as
reasonably approved in writing by Landlord and any Mortgagee, providing coverage
for any loss occurring during Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises.
The
term "full replacement value" shall mean actual replacement cost, without
regard
to depreciation, as reasonably approved in writing by Landlord and any
Mortgagee. Tenant shall satisfy its obligation hereunder by monthly Insurance
Escrow payments to Landlord as described in Section 6.4 above; Landlord shall
apply the funds from such Insurance Escrow payments to payment of premiums
consistent with the second and third sentences of Section 9.3
above.
10.2 At
all times from the Commencement Date until the end of the Lease Term, at
its
sole cost and expense (but for the mutual benefit of the Landlord and Tenant),
and as additional rental, Tenant shall provide and keep in force single limit
comprehensive general liability insurance policies reasonably satisfactory
to
the Mortgagee of the Leased Premises (including any prospective Mortgagee,
i.e.,
a lending institution having agreed to loan funds to Landlord and/or the
Affiliated Lessors, conditioned upon receipt of a mortgage on the Leased
Premises), subject to commercially reasonable deductibles, naming Landlord
and
any Mortgagee of the Leased Premises as additional insureds.
A. If
Tenant does not secure such insurance on an "occurrence" basis, i.e., providing
coverage for events occurring during the period for which premiums are paid,
even if claims are asserted after such period, Tenant shall provide, prior
to
the end of the Lease Term, "tail" coverage, i.e., liability insurance coverage
for claims which may be asserted during the two-year period after the Lease
Term
for events occurring during the Lease Term, and shall pre-pay in full the
premium required for such tail coverage prior to the end of the Lease
Term.
18
B. Notwithstanding
the above, Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease for failure to
provide liability insurance if Tenant complies with commercially reasonable
self-insurance practices consistent with prevailing practices in the assisted
living and senior housing industry in the State; provided, that for this
purpose, reliance on self-insurance shall not be considered to be a
"commercially reasonable self-insurance practice" if
(1) such
practice is materially inconsistent with the requirements of FNMA for senior
living projects; or
(2) as
of the beginning of each month of the self-insurance arrangement, either
of the
following conditions is in effect:
(a) the
self-insurance arrangement does not involve a pooling agreement wherein entities
other than Tenant and its Affiliates are committed to a system of risk-sharing
pursuant to which resources other than Tenant's are available for satisfaction
of claims against Tenant (a "Pooling Arrangement"), Tenant lacks sufficient
liquid net worth, as reflected by the financial statements of Tenant reported
to
Landlord pursuant to Section 8 of the Agreement To Lease, to cover claims
on a
commercially reasonable basis;
(b) the
self-insurance arrangement involves a Pooling Arrangement, the liquid net
worth
of the participants in such arrangement are not sufficient to cover, on a
commercially reasonable basis, claims against such participants.
C. Tenant
shall at all times carry workers compensation insurance consistent with the
requirements of State law.
10.3 At
all times from the Commencement Date until the end of the Lease Term, at
its
sole cost and expense (but for the mutual benefit of the Landlord and Tenant)
and as additional rent, Tenant shall provide and keep in force such business
interruption insurance as may be required by FNMA or as may be reasonably
required by other Mortgagees.
10.4 All
such insurance to be provided by Tenant under this section shall name as
insureds the Landlord, Tenant and the Mortgagee(s) of Landlord, as their
respective interests may appear. All policies of insurance required under
Section 10.1 hereof shall also be payable, under a standard mortgagee clause,
to
the holder of the existing or any new Mortgage, as their interests may appear.
No such insurance shall allow for the reduction of any payment by reason
of any
other insurance policy unless such other policy is specifically named, a
copy
thereof is provided to Landlord, and Landlord and the Mortgagee are named
therein as insureds as their interests may appear.
10.5 All
of the policies of insurance which Tenant is to provide pursuant to this
Lease
shall be in form and substance as is then standard in the State for policies
of
like coverage and shall be distributed in such amounts, and with such
responsible companies as Tenant shall determine, subject to the written approval
of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld. Certificates of insurance policies
or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and the Mortgagee(s),
shall be delivered to Landlord and shall bear endorsements showing the receipt
by the respective insurance companies of the premiums thereon, or shall be
accompanied by other evidence of payment of such premiums to the insurance
companies. All insurance policies shall be renewed by Tenant, and proof of
such
renewals delivered to Landlord, at least ten (10) days prior to their expiration
dates. All such policies shall provide that they may not be cancelled by
the
insurer for nonpayment of premiums or otherwise until at least thirty (30)
days
after service upon Tenant, Landlord and Mortgagee(s) of notice of the proposed
cancellation, and in any event that such policies shall not be invalidated,
without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and the Mortgagee(s),
by any act or omission of Tenant or any occupant of the Leased Premises,
or by
any other act which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of such
insurance.
19
10.6
In the event that Tenant fails to obtain and maintain insurance as required
in
this Section 10, after ten (10) days prior written notice by Landlord to
Tenant,
the Landlord or the Mortgagee may effect any such insurance coverage and
pay
premiums therefore, and the commercially reasonable amount of all premiums
so
paid shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder, payable by Tenant to Landlord
or Mortgagee upon the next due date of Base Rent hereunder and in accordance
with the provisions of this Lease.
10.7
The foregoing insurance provisions shall not limit or modify any of the
obligations of Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease, except as
provided in Section 18, to restore the Leased Premises or to replace any
Equipment.
10.8
To the extent of the amount of insurance proceeds actually received in regard
to
any insured event, Landlord and Tenant and all parties claiming under them
hereby mutually release and discharge each other from all claims and liabilities
arising from or caused by any hazard actually covered by insurance on the
Leased
Premises, or actually covered by insurance in connection with property on,
or
activities conducted on, the Leased Premises, regardless of the cause of
damage
or loss. This provision shall only be effective so long as the applicable
insurance policies contain a clause to the effect that this release shall
not
affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder. Such clauses shall
be
obtained by Tenant or Landlord, whenever possible, in all policies of insurance
obtained pursuant to this Section 10.
10.9
At the end of the Lease Term, any surplus of Insurance Escrow payments (and
interest thereon) held by Landlord over the premiums payable for insurance
required under this Section 10 shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant within
five (5) Business Days after such excess is determined; conversely, Tenant
shall
pay Landlord the amount of any deficiency of Escrow Deposits within five
(5)
Business Days after such deficiency is determined.
20
11.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
11.1 Commencing
as of the Commencement Date and until the end of the Lease Term, Tenant,
at its
expense, shall take good care of and keep in good order and repair (damage
or
destruction by fire, other casualty and ordinary wear and tear excluded),
the
Leased Premises. Tenant shall:
A. make
all repairs inside and outside, ordinary and extraordinary, structural and
nonstructural, as necessary to preserve the Leased Premises in Good Condition,
which repairs shall be performed in a first class workmanlike manner. If

equipment, machinery and personal property of Tenant.
11.2 Landlord,
its agents or representatives, shall have the right to enter upon the Leased
Premises at all reasonable times, as provided in Section 17 below. If Landlord
reasonably deems any repairs are necessary for which Tenant is responsible
under
Section 11.1, Landlord may demand in writing that Tenant make such repairs;
and
if Tenant either refuses or neglects to commence such repairs within thirty
(30)
days of Tenant's receipt of such written demand or fails to complete the
same in
a commercially timely manner, Landlord may make or cause such repairs to
be made
in a reasonable manner designed to avoid interference with the business of
Tenant and Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage
that may accrue to Tenant's business by reason thereof (except to the extent
of
the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents), and if Landlord
makes or causes such repairs to be made, the reasonable cost thereof paid
by
Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent payable on the first day of the
next
succeeding month; provided, that Landlord shall provide written notice to
Tenant, not less than five (5) business days before the due date for such
Additional Rent, advising Tenant of the cost incurred by Landlord for any
such
repair. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as imposing any obligation
on Landlord to make any such repairs.
21
12. NET
LEASE
Except
for payments required under any Mortgage(s) granted by Landlord as to the
Leased
Property, it is the purpose and intent of the Landlord and Tenant that the
Net
Rent payable hereunder shall be absolutely net to Landlord, so that this
Lease
shall yield to Landlord the Net Rent specified herein in each year during
the
entire term of this Lease, free of any charges, assessments, or taxes of
any
kind, assessed or imposed against the Leased Property, and without further
abatement, deduction or set-off by Tenant except
as
authorized in Section 6.5 to recover excess Escrow Deposits, 8.1 as to set-off

Security Deposit, Section 9.5 as to offset of Escrow Deposits to offset
reductions in Taxes, Sections 19.419.5 as to condemnation, Section 21.2 and
23A.2 if Tenant cures a default of Landlord under a Mortgage, and Section
23.5(F)(2) as to certain rent received by Landlord from a third party after
Tenant's default. Landlord shall not be expected or required under this Lease
to
pay any such charge, assessment or tax, or be under any obligation or liability
hereunder except as herein expressly set forth. All costs, expenses and
obligations of any kind and nature whatsoever relating to the Leased Property
or
this Lease arising from or relating to the operation of or use of the Leased
Premises after the Commencement Date and prior to the end of the Lease Term
shall be paid and performed by Tenant.
13. PUBLIC
UTILITIES AND VENDOR SERVICES
Tenant
agrees to pay or cause to be paid all charges for gas, water, sewer,
electricity, light, heat, power, steam, air conditioning, telephone or other
communication service or other utility or service used, rendered or supplied
to,
upon or in connection with the Leased Property throughout the term of this
Lease, and to indemnify Landlord and save it harmless against any liability
or
damages on such account. Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord is not, nor
shall
it be, required to furnish to the Tenant or any other occupant of the Leased
Premises, during the term of this Lease, any water, sewer, gas, heat,
electricity, light, power, steam, air conditioning or any other facilities,
equipment, labor, materials or services of any kind whatsoever, but, without
limiting the foregoing, Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the
date of
its delivery of the Leased Premises to Tenant, the same are available to
the
Leased Premises. Landlord shall not be responsible for any breakdown,
diminution, interruption, or cessation of any such utilities or utility
services, nor shall the Net Rent xxxxx in such event. Provided the same shall
be
at the Tenant's sole expense and liability, Landlord, at the request of Tenant,
will join with Tenant in any application required for obtaining or continuing
any of the foregoing services. Tenant shall not enter into any contract for
goods or services to be provided for the Facility for a period beyond the
Scheduled Lease Term.
14. ALTERATIONS
AND ADDITIONS
14.1 Except
to the extent provided in Sections 18, 19, and 20 and 24 hereof, Tenant may
at
any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease, and any extension
hereof, at Tenant's own cost and expense, make or permit to be made any
alteration, addition, change or improvements of, in or to the Leased Premises
or
any building located thereon or any part thereof; provided
that:
22
A. For
any alterations, additions, changes or improvements involving the structure
of
the Facility (including interior walls, whether or not load-bearing) involving
cost in excess of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000), the following shall
be
fully observed and performed by Tenant before the commencement of any
work:
(1) There
is no existing and unremedied default (subject to applicable notice and cure
periods) on the part of Tenant under any of the terms, covenants and conditions
herein;
(2) Tenant
shall have delivered to Landlord plans and specifications, in sufficient
detail
to reasonably allow Landlord to make a decision with respect thereto, and
shall
have obtained Landlord's written approval thereof (which Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay), and any approval required by
any and
all governmental authorities and departments having jurisdiction. If Landlord
shall not have signified its disapproval within thirty (30) calendar days
after
their delivery, the plans and specifications shall be deemed to have been
approved by Landlord;
(3) Neither
Landlord nor the Leased Premises shall be subject to any charge, liability,
claim or lien of whatsoever kind or nature by reason thereof, except for
any
increase in property tax as to the Leased Premises resulting from such
improvement;
(4) Tenant
shall tender to Landlord such security and assurance of completion for said
alterations or changes as shall be commercially reasonable within the industry
and reasonably necessary for the particular alterations or changes in
question.
B.
The following shall be fully observed and performed by the Tenant during
the work:
(1) The
work involved in any such alteration, change or modification shall be perfon-xxx
with diligence and in a first-class workmanlike manner;
(2) All
such work, alterations, changes or modifications shall be done subject to,
and
in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations
governing the same; and
(3) Tenant
shall procure all necessary permits for the construction of said changes,
alterations, or modifications and shall deliver to Landlord a final certificate
of occupancy or its equivalent as a condition precedent to the use of the
improvements for their designated purpose.
(4) If
any modification requiring Landlord's consent as described above is made
without
Landlord's consent (pursuant to the procedure described above), Tenant shall,
before the beginning of the eighth month prior to the end of the Scheduled
Lease
Term, unless excused in writing by Landlord, restore the condition of the
Facility to the condition that existed prior to such change.
23
14.2 All
alterations, changes, additions and modifications to the Leased Premises,
when
made, erected, constructed, installed or placed upon the Leased Premises,
and
all machinery, apparatus, equipment, floor coverings and fixtures originally
installed or as replaced, including without limitation all heating, lighting,
and power equipment, pipes, pumps, tanks, conduits, plumbing, air-cooling
and
air-conditioning apparatus, attached cabinets, ducts and compressors are
now and
shall immediately be and become part of the realty when installed and the
sole
and absolute property of Landlord without cost or charge to Landlord and
shall
remain upon and be surrendered with the Leased Premises at the expiration
or
sooner termination of this Lease.
14.3 Tenant
shall not make any modification causing a reduction of the Resident Capacity
of
the Facility without prior written approval of Landlord.
15. LIENS
OF THIRD PARTIES BY ACTION OF TENANT
15.1 Tenant
shall not suffer or permit any liens to stand against the Leased Property
or any
part thereof by reason of any work, labor, services or materials done for,
or
supplied to, or claimed to have been done for, or supplied to, Tenant or
anyone
holding the Leased Property or any part thereof through or under Tenant
subsequent to the Commencement Date. If any such lien shall at any time be
filed
against the Leased Property, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged
of
record, within sixty (60) days after the date that Tenant receives written
notice of such filing, by either payment, deposit or bond, unless a bond
therefor is already in effect, or within such period shall have commenced
proceedings necessary to discharge same and shall proceed diligently thereunder
in order to discharge such lien within a reasonable time. If Tenant shall
fail
to discharge or commence necessary proceedings to discharge any such lien
within
such period, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, procure the discharge
of such lien either by paying the amount claimed to be due by deposit in
court,
or if Landlord so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the
foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment,
if
any, in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any reasonable
amount paid or deposited by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, and
all
reasonable legal and other expenses of Landlord, at the option of Landlord,
shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent for the next
month.
15.2 Nothing
in this Lease shall be deemed to be, or construed in any way as constituting,
the consent or request of any person, firm or corporation for the performance
of
any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any construction, rebuilding,
alteration or repair of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof, nor
as
giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the
rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials which might
in any
way give rise to the right to file any lien against the Landlord's interest
in
the Leased Property. Landlord shall have the right to post and keep posted,
at
all reasonable times and locations on the Leased Premises, any notices which
Landlord shall be required so to post for the protection of Landlord and
the
Leased Property from any such lien.
24
16. ATTORNEYS'
FEES
Subject
to the terms of Section 43 below regarding the right of either party to cause
any dispute under this Lease (other than a request by a party for injunctive
relief or other relief which cannot be granted by an arbitrator) to be resolved
by binding arbitration, in the event either party brings a legal proceeding
against the other for breach of this Lease or the Agreement To Lease, the
prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover the court costs
and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by such party in such
proceeding.
17. ACCESS
TO PREMISES
Tenant
shall permit Landlord or its agents, upon at least one (1) business day prior
written notice (i.e., no less than 24 hours), to enter the Leased premises
at
all reasonable hours, including without limitation the hours of 8 am through
5
pm, local time, Monday through Friday, for the purpose of inspection of the
Leased Premises, and for the purpose of showing the Leased Premises to persons
wishing to purchase the Leased Premises or make a mortgage loan upon them;
and
at any time within nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Scheduled
Leased Term, or after default (subject to applicable notice and cure periods)
by
Tenant in any obligation under this Lease, or the Agreement To Lease, to
persons
wishing to rent the whole or any portion of the Leased Premises, provided
that
such entry, inspection and/or showing does not materially interfere with
the
operation of the Facility.
18. DAMAGE
OR DESTRUCTION
18.1 Except
as expressly set forth in this Section 18, and subject to the terms and
conditions of the existing Mortgage or any subsequent Mortgage as authorized
by
Section 21, if after the Commencement Date and prior to the end of the Lease
Term, the Leased Property, or any improvements or additions to the Facility
shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire or other hazard,
risk,
contingency or casualty, whether or not covered by insurance, or after partial
condemnation not resulting in termination of this Lease, the Tenant shall
give
to the Landlord immediate notice thereof, and the Tenant shall, to the extent
that funds for such purpose are available from insurance proceeds, and funds
provided by Landlord, promptly repair, replace and rebuild the same, at least
to
the extent of the value, quality, condition and class equal to the buildings
and
improvements thereon existing immediately prior to such occurrence (as nearly
as
reasonably possible under the circumstances) (hereinafter referred to as
"restoration"), all in accordance with Section 20 hereof. If Tenant shall
not
commence such work within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage,
or shall not complete said work within a commercially reasonable time after
commencement of such work, Landlord may, upon written notice to Tenant, take
responsibility for restoration. Except as hereafter expressly set forth,
a
partial or total destruction shall not annul or void this Lease except by
the
mutual written agreement of the parties, and there shall be no abatement
or
reduction of rent. The Tenant warrants to the Landlord that the Leased Property
will be repaired or replaced in accordance with the then existing laws and
regulations affecting the Leased Property, including, without limitation,
any
requirements of any federal, state or local licensing
authorities.
25
18.2 In
the event of any damage or destruction as hereinabove referred to, any insurance
money received by or paid to the Landlord or the Tenant or the Mortgagee
under
the Mortgage (to the extent allowable under the Mortgage) upon the Leased
Premises by reason thereof shall be applied to such costs of repairing,
restoration or rebuilding as herein provided for and required pursuant to
Section 20.1 hereof. In the event the Tenant's insurance applicable thereto
has
a deductible provision, the Tenant be responsible for payment of the deductible
as may be required for such repair, restoration or rebuilding.
18.3 The
parties acknowledge that the Mortgagee(s) under the Mortgage(s) may have
the
right pursuant to the Mortgage(s) to apply any insurance proceeds to the
reduction of the indebtedness under the note(s) secured by the Mortgage(s).
In
the event of any damage or destruction to the Facility, and if the Mortgagee(s)
or holder(s) of said note (s) uses the proceeds of insurance resulting therefrom
to reduce the indebtedness of the note(s) or otherwise withholds such proceeds
from Tenant, and if Landlord does not, within thirty (30) days after receipt
of
notice of such destruction and such withholding, offer to provide funds
sufficient to effect necessary repairs, restoration or rebuilding, and provide
such funds within a commercially reasonable time thereafter, then Tenant
shall
have the option, if less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Resident Capacity
of the Facility has been rendered unusable, to continue to occupy the Leased
Premises based on payment of rent reduced proportionately to the Resident
Capacity still usable or, if insufficient funds are available to Tenant for
repair, to terminate this Lease; or if more than twenty-five percent (25%)
of
the Resident Capacity of the Facility has been rendered unusable, either
to
continue to occupy the Leased Premises based on payment of rent reduced
proportionately to the Resident Capacity still usable or to terminate this
Lease. In the event that insurance proceeds are paid to the Mortgagee, Tenant
shall not be required to commence repairs prior to receiving notice from
Landlord that funds will be made available for repairs either from such proceeds
or from Landlord.
19. CONDEMNATION
19.1 The
Landlord and the Tenant acknowledge that the terms of the Mortgage(s) may
contain restrictions concerning condemnation proceedings, the use of the
proceeds from the condemnation award, and which parties can participate in
a
condemnation proceeding and receive part or all of the proceeds from a
condemnation award. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease Agreement
to the contrary, the terms of said Mortgage(s) shall solely govern the use
of
the proceeds from a condemnation award, which parties may be a participant
to a
condemnation proceeding and which parties may receive all or a portion of
the
proceeds from a condemnation award. However, to the extent that the terms
of
said Mortgage(s) do not conflict with the provisions set forth hereafter
in this
Section 19, then, and only then, shall the terms set forth hereafter in this
Section 19 govern the use of proceeds from a condemnation award, participants
to
a condemnation proceeding and the recipients of all or part of the proceeds
from
a condemnation award.
26
19.2 If
title to the fee of the whole of the Leased Premises shall be taken or condemned
by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use, this Lease
shall
cease and terminate as of the Commencement Date by said authority. If title
to
the fee of less than the whole of the Leased Premises but more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Resident Capacity of the improvements then upon the
Leased
Premises shall be so taken or condemned, the Tenant and the Landlord shall
each
have the option by written notice to the other, at any time prior to the
taking
of possession by, or the date of vesting of title in, such authority, whichever
first occurs, to terminate this Lease as of the date of such vesting or
possession. In either of such events, all Base Rent, as adjusted, and other
charges paid or payable by the Tenant hereunder shall be apportioned as of
the
date the Lease shall have been so terminated as aforesaid.
19.3 The
total condemnation award made with respect to all or any portion of the Leased
Premises or for the loss of rent, or for the loss of business beyond the
term of
this Lease Agreement, shall be solely the property of and payable to the
Landlord. Any award made for the taking of Tenant's leasehold interest in
the
Leased Premises, for loss of business during the remaining term of this Lease
Agreement, if any, or for removal and relocation expenses of the Tenant in
any
such proceedings, shall be the sole property of and payable to the Tenant.
Any
lump sum condemnation award shall be apportioned between the parties in a
manner
consistent with the above. In any condemnation proceedings, the Landlord
and the
Tenant shall each seek its own award in conformity herewith, at its own
expense.
19.4 If
title to the fee of less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Resident Capacity
of the improvements then upon the Leased Premises shall be so taken or
condemned, or if the Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this
Lease under Section 19.2 but shall not elect to do so, the Landlord may,
at its
own cost and expense, restore the untaken portion of any building or
improvements on the Leased Premises so that such building shall constitute
a
complete architectural unit of the same general value, quality, class, character
and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the
buildings and improvements existing immediately prior to such condemnation
or
taking. Pending such restoration, the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be
reduced in proportion to the reduced Resident Capacity of the Facility as
so
taken or condemned. In the event the Landlord shall not commence such work
within thirty (30) days after such taking, or shall not complete said work
within a commercially reasonable time after commencement of such work, then
this
Lease, at the option of the Tenant, upon thirty (30) days written notice
to the
Landlord and Landlord's failure to cure within such thirty (30) days, shall
cease and terminate. For this purpose, a "commercially reasonable time" shall
be
extended to compensate for any delay to the extent directly and reasonably
caused by labor strikes, governmental regulations, inability to obtain labor
or
materials or any other cause beyond the Landlord's control, and in such event
the standard for completion shall be extended by the period of interruption.
Alternatively, the Tenant may complete such work and offset the cost thereof,
subject to the provisions of this Section 19, against the installments of
Net
Rent next coming due hereunder. During any such work, the Tenant shall be
required to pay a portion of the Base Rent in proportion to that part of
the
Leased Premises remaining in tenantable condition, and the balance of the
Net
Rent herein provided shall xxxxx.
27
19.5 The
Tenant agrees that if, at any time after the Commencement Date, the whole
or any
part of the Leased Premises or of the Tenant's interest under this Lease
shall
be taken or condemned by any competent authority for its temporary use or
occupancy of less than sixty (60) days, this Lease shall not terminate by
reason
thereof, subject to Landlord's payment to Tenant of any compensation received
by
Landlord for such temporary taking, and Tenant shall continue to pay, in
the
manner and at the times herein specified, the full amount of rent and charges
payable under this Lease. During the period of such temporary taking, the
Base
Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced in proportion to the reduced Resident
Capacity of the Facility as so taken or condemned. Except as Tenant may be
prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning
authority, Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other
terms,
covenants, conditions and obligations hereof, on the part of the Tenant to
be
performed and observed, as though such taking had not occurred.
19.6
Tenant covenants that upon the termination of any such period of temporary
use
or occupancy as set forth in Section 19.5 hereof, it will, to the extent
that
condemnation proceeds are available or Landlord has agreed to provide funds,
restore the Leased Premises to the condition in which the same were immediately
prior to such taking, and subject to the same conditions as set forth in
Section
20, unless such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond
the
expiration date of the term of this Lease Agreement, and any extension thereof,
in which case the Tenant shall not be required to make such restoration.
In such
case, the Tenant shall contribute to the cost of such restoration that portion
of its entire award described in Section 19.5 hereof which is specifically
allocated to such restoration in the judgment or order of the court, if
any.
19.7
For the purposes of this Section 19, the Leased Premises or a part thereof,
as
the case may be, shall be deemed to have been taken or condemned on the date
on
which actual possession of the Leased Premises or a part thereof, as the
case
may be, is acquired by any lawful power or authority, or the date on which
title
vests therein, whichever is earlier.
19.8
If the terms of any Mortgage on the Leased Premises operate to prevent the
Tenant from participating in any condemnation proceeding, or to prevent the
Tenant from receiving any of the proceeds of a condemnation award to which
it
would otherwise be entitled, or to require the said condemnation award proceeds
to be applied against the promissory note secured by the said Mortgage, then
the
Landlord shall promptly pay to the Tenant a sum of money equal to the total
award to which the Tenant would have otherwise been entitled. Any portion
of any
condemnation award received by the Landlord or applied pursuant to any such
Mortgage which results from or relates to a capitalization of the income
stream
of Tenant's business as conducted in the Facility which is in excess of the
capitalization of the payments of Base Rent from the Tenant to the Landlord,
shall be promptly paid to the Tenant by the Landlord.
28
20. RESTORATION
20.1 Notwithstanding
anything set forth in this Lease Agreement to the contrary, the terms of
any
Mortgage encumbering or concerning the Facility that constitutes the Leased
Premises shall, to the extent that such terms are commercially reasonable,
govern the terms and conditions upon which the net proceeds of all insurance
and
condemnation awards described in this Lease Agreement shall be applied to
the
cost of restoring the Facility. However, to the extent that the terms of
such
Mortgage do not conflict with the provisions set forth hereafter in this
Section
20, then and only then, shall the terms set forth hereafter in this paragraph
govern the application of insurance proceeds and condemnation awards to the
cost
of restoring the Premises. Nothing in this Lease shall require Tenant to
expend
funds for purposes of restoration in addition to funds for such purpose are
available from insurance proceeds or Landlord under Section 18 or from
condemnation proceeds under Section 19.
20.2 The
party responsible for such restoration (herein referred to as the "Restoring
Party") shall submit to the other party (herein referred to as the
"Non-restoring Party") complete plans and specifications which shall be designed
as follows: if the restoration is occasioned by fire or other casualty (except
partial condemnation), to restore the Facility at least to its condition
immediately prior to such damage or destruction and as nearly as similar
in
character and value as is commercially practicable and reasonable; or, if
the
restoration is occasioned by partial condemnation, to construct the remainder
of
the Facility so that the same shall constitute a complete architectural unit
of
the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under
the
circumstances) as the Facility existing immediately prior to such condemnation
or taking.
20.3 The
plans and specifications shall be subject to the written approval of the
Non-restoring Party. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after submission thereof,
the Non-restoring Party shall either approve the same or serve written notice
upon the Restoring Party of its disapproval thereof and its objections thereto,
in default of which such plans and specifications or such portion thereof
not
objected to shall be deemed to be approved by the Non-restoring Party, anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
20.4 The
Restoring Party shall thereafter furnish the Non-restoring Party and the
recipient of the proceeds of insurance or the award in condemnation, as the
case
may be, with a copy of any contract or contracts which the Restoring Party
shall
enter into for the making of such restoration; or, if the restoration is
to be
done by the Restoring Party, a copy of all sub-contracts made by the Restoring
Party in connection with such restoration and a sworn statement estimating
the
cost thereof.
20.5 During
the progress of the restoration, the holder of the insurance proceeds or
award
in condemnation, as the case may be, shall make payments to the Restoring
Party
or to the contractors and materialmen of the Restoring Party, for the account
of
the Restoring Party, out of such proceeds of insurance or award in condemnation
to the extent available, at the end of each month, or from time to time as
may
be agreed upon, against the Restoring Party's certificates, as follows: an
amount which shall be that proportion of the insurance proceeds or award
held
which ninety percent (90%) of the payments to be made to the contractors
or
materialmen of the Restoring Party for work done, materials supplied and
services rendered, during such month or other period, bears to the total
contract price; if the restoration is done by the Restoring Party, then that
portion of the insurance proceeds or award so held which ninety percent (90%)
of
the estimated cost of work done, materials supplied and services rendered
during
that month bears to the total estimated cost; and on completion of the
restoration, the balance of such insurance proceeds or condemnation award
monies
required to complete the payment of the restoration costs shall be paid to
the
Restoring Party; or, if the Restoring Party is the holder of the insurance
proceeds or award in condemnation, the Restoring Party shall be responsible
for
and shall pay such amounts as shall be necessary to make full payment (less
retention) for all work done, material supplied and services rendered during
each and every month, without regard to the sufficiency of the proceeds or
award
otherwise available.
29
20.6 At
the time of each such request for advance by the Restoring Party and as a
condition precedent thereto, the Restoring Party shall also submit a certificate
signed by the Restoring Party and the architect or engineer responsible for
supervising said work not more than fifteen (15) days prior to such request
setting forth the following: that the sum then requested either has been
paid by
the Restoring Party or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors,
materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons who have rendered services
or furnished materials for the restoration therein specified; the names and
addresses of such persons; a complete description of such services and
materials; the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in
respect
thereof; that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the
basis,
in any previous or other pending request, for the withdrawal of insurance
money
or condemnation award money, and that the sum then requested does not exceed
the
value of the services and materials described in the certificate; that, except
for the sum then requested in such certificate stated to be due for services
of
materials and the 10% retainage, there is no outstanding indebtedness known
to
the person signing such certificate, after due inquiry, which is then due
for
labor, wages, materials, supplies or services in connection with such
restoration which, if unpaid, might become the basis of a vendor's, mechanic's,
laborer's or materialmen's statutory or similar lien upon such restoration
or
upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof or upon the leasehold interest
therein; that the total cost, as estimated by the persons signing such
certificate, of the restoration required to be done subsequent to the date
of
such certificate in order to complete the same, does not (except as previously
disclosed by the Restoring Party to the Non-restoring Party in writing, which
writing, if any, shall be identified in such certificate) exceed the balance
of
the proceeds of insurance or award in condemnation in the possession of the
holder thereof; and that all of the work of restoration so far completed
is
proper and of the quality and class equal to the original work and in accordance
with the plans and specifications approved by the Non-restoring
Party.
30
20.7 At
the completion of the restoration, and following disbursement of the final
advance to the Restoring Party required to complete the payment of restoration
costs, any such insurance proceeds or condemnation award proceeds remaining
shall be paid by the recipient thereof to the Landlord and one hundred percent
(100%) thereof shall be credited to the Base Rent required to be paid by
Tenant
pursuant to Section 6 hereof during the period immediately following the
date on
which payment is made.
20.8 During
such restoration, the Non-restoring Party and any architect, engineer, or
other
representative designated by the Non-restoring Party, may inspect the Leased
Premises. During the course of such restoration and its completion, the
Restoring Party shall keep copies of all plans, shop drawings and specifications
relating to such restoration on the building site and permit the Non-restoring
Party or its architect, engineer or other representative to examine them
at all
reasonable times, or, in the alternative, shall furnish the Non-restoring
Party
with copies of such plans, drawings and specifications. In the event that
during
the restoration of the Leased Premises, the Non-restoring Party or its
architect, engineer or other representative shall determine that the materials
do not substantially conform to the approved specifications or that the Leased
Premises are not being restored in accordance with the approved plans, prompt
notice in writing shall be given to the Restoring Party, specifying in detail
the particular deficiency, omission or other respect in which it is claimed
that
the restoration does not conform with the plans and specifications as so
approved. Upon the receipt of any such notice, the Restoring Party shall
take
such steps as it deems necessary to cause corrections to be made as to any
deficiencies, omissions or otherwise, and if necessary for the purpose of
effectuating such corrections, shall immediately remove such materials and
replace such construction and furnish materials in accordance with the approved
plans and specifications or equally as good as those provided for in such
plans
and specifications.
20.9 All
of such restoration and the performance thereof shall be subject to and shall
be
performed in accordance with the conditions and requirements imposed upon
Tenant
in Section 14 hereof.
20.10 If
the Restoring Party shall fail to commence such restoration within a
commercially reasonable time following such damage or destruction or within
a
commercially reasonable time following the date insurance or condemnation
proceeds, if any, are first made available to it, whichever first occurs,
or,
having commenced such restoration, shall fail to complete it in accordance
with
the provisions of this Lease within a commercially reasonable time, the
Non-restoring Party may, at its option and upon serving written notice upon
the
Restoring Party that it elects so to do, make and have the right, as the
restoration progresses, to use and apply the insurance proceeds or condemnation
award money to the cost of such restoration to the extent that it shall not
theretofore have been applied to the payment or reimbursement of costs and
expenses of the Restoring Party as aforesaid.
31
20.11 If
prior to the completion of such restoration whether by the Landlord or the
Tenant, this Lease shall terminate or expire for any reason, Landlord shall
have
the right to receive and retain such insurance proceeds or condemnation award,
to the extent that it shall not theretofore have been applied to the payment
or
reimbursement of the costs and expenses of the Tenant and the Landlord, as
aforesaid, and the Tenant shall thereupon be discharged from any and all
obligations under this Lease to restore the Leased Premises pursuant to this
Section 20.
20.12 If
it is apparent before the commencement of restoration that the restoration
will
not be completed prior to the end of the Scheduled Lease Term, then Landlord,
at
its discretion, may, so long as it does not materially adversely affect Tenant's
rights hereunder, act as the Restoring Party notwithstanding any other provision
of this Lease pursuant to which the Tenant would act as the Restoring
Party.
21. MORTGAGE(S)
AND SUBORDINATION
21.1 Landlord
and Tenant acknowledge that the Leased Premises are encumbered by one or
more
Mortgages. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the
existing Mortgage(s) as of the date hereof, and to no other, except as provided
herein. The Tenant agrees, at any time hereafter, on demand, to execute and
deliver any commercially reasonable instruments, releases or other documents
that may be reasonably required for the purpose of evidencing the subordination
of this Lease to the lien of such Mortgage(s) or a new Mortgage(s) which
Landlord shall have the right to place on the Leased Property as provided
herein. The Landlord shall have the right to place a new Mortgage or Mortgages
("New Mortgage") on the Leased Property at any time after the Commencement
Date;
provided, that the Landlord shall provide to Tenant, at least twenty (20)
days
prior to placing any such Mortgage(s) upon the Premises, complete copies
of all
documents relating to the transaction in which any Mortgage is to be executed;
and further provided, that the prospective holder of the New Mortgage ("New
Mortgagee") shall agree, in writing and in an enforceable and recordable
commitment, reasonably acceptable to Tenant, that Tenant's possession of
the
Leased Property shall not be disturbed by said New Mortgagee so long as Tenant
(a) is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure
periods
and (b) agrees to accept the New Mortgagee or any purchaser of the Leased
Property at a foreclosure sale as Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall use
its
best efforts to cause the existing Mortgagee(s) to enter such a non-disturbance
agreement with Tenant and deliver the same to Tenant upon execution
hereof.
21.2 During
the term of this Lease, and any extension thereof, Landlord shall make all
Mortgage payments directly to the Mortgagee for every Mortgage. Landlord
shall
pay directly to the Mortgagee that part of the Mortgage payment that represents
a payment of principal or interest on the promissory note secured by said
Mortgage, as well as any amounts required by Mortgagee to be escrowed for
payment of insurance and taxes, but the responsibility for escrow amounts
shall
be Tenant's. Tenant shall pay directly to Landlord that part of the Mortgage
payment that constitutes the amount required to be paid under any Mortgage
to be
held in escrow for the purpose of paying property taxes and insurance; provided,
however, that any amount paid by Tenant which exceeds the amount actually
applied to the payment of taxes or insurance shall be held in escrow by Landlord
for the benefit of Tenant, and promptly refunded to Tenant at such time as
Landlord receives any refund of funds held by the Mortgagee, or, if sooner,
within thirty (30) days after the end of the Lease Term. Landlord agrees
to act
in a punctual manner with respect to its obligations under the Mortgage(s).
Tenant and Landlord each shall have the right, after ten (10) days prior
written
notice to the other party and such other part's failure to properly cure
any
default within said period (including any default by Landlord in Mortgage
payments) to cure any such default, and the defaulting party shall immediately
reimburse the curing party for any reasonable costs or expenses incurred
in this
regard, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of payment
by
the curing party until the date of payment by the defaulting party. Any amounts
advanced by Landlord to cure a default of Tenant shall constitute Additional
Rent due to Landlord from Tenant, payable in the same manner as specified
for
payment of Base Rent. If the curing party is the Tenant, Tenant may, at its
option, offset the said costs and expenses against the payments of Base Rent
next coming due. The parties will use their best efforts to cause all Mortgagees
to execute non-disturbance and attornment agreements protecting Tenant's
right
to occupy the Leased Premises provided that Tenant is not in default beyond
applicable notice and cure periods under this Lease.
32
22. ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLETTING
22.1 Except
as hereinafter provided, the Tenant and the Tenant's legal representatives
or
successors in interest, by operation of law or otherwise, may not transfer
or
assign the Tenant's interest in and to the Leased Property, without first
procuring the written consent of the Landlord, which Landlord may withhold
in
its discretion.
22.2 This
Lease may be assigned, without Landlord's consent, to an Affiliate of Tenant
or
Apollo, provided that such Affiliate enters into a Management Agreement with
Summerville or an Authorized Assignee as provided in Section 2.3 above and
such
Management Agreement remains in effect during the Lease Term.
22.3 This
Lease may be assigned, with Landlord's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld,
to a proposed assignee other than an Affiliate of Tenant or Apollo, provided
that such proposed assignee (other than a party taking possession as the
result
of a leasehold mortgage as described in Section 22.4) enters into a Management
Agreement with Summerville or an Authorized Assignee (as provided in Section
2.3
above) and such Management Agreement remains in effect during the Lease Term.
For such purpose, Landlord's withholding of consent to assignment shall not
be
deemed unreasonable if the following conditions are not met:
A. The
proposed assignee has a net worth at least equal to the greater of (i) the
net
worth of Tenant as of the Commencement Date or (ii) the net worth of the
Tenant
as of the last financial statement of Tenant furnished to Landlord, pursuant
to
the Agreement To Lease, prior to Tenant's written request to Landlord for
consent to the proposed assignment.
33
B Except
as otherwise permitted under Section 22.5 below, the proposed assignee will
also
operate the Other Facilities and assume the Other Leases.
C. The
proposed assignee agrees in writing to honor Tenant's contractual obligations
as
set forth in this Lease.
22.4 Tenant
may encumber its leasehold interest with a mortgage or other lien, without
obtaining Landlord's consent; provided, that the right of any mortgagee of
Tenant's interest, or any nominee of such mortgagee, to take possession of
the
Leased Property, if Tenant has defaulted under its mortgage of its leasehold
interest or otherwise, shall be subject to Landlord's written consent, not
to be
unreasonably withheld.
A. If
the Facility is to be managed for such new tenant by the Management Company
or
an Authorized Assignee, Landlord's withholding of consent shall not be deemed
unreasonable if the new tenant fails to meet the standards stated in Section
22.3(A)-(C).
B. If
the Facility is to be managed by such new tenant, or by a management agent
other
than the Management Company or an Authorized Assignee (such alternate management
agent, a "Successor Manager"), Landlord's withholding of consent shall not
be
deemed unreasonable if the new tenant fails to meet the standards stated
in
Section 22.3(A)-(C) or the following additional standards are not met by
either
the proposed new tenant or the Successor Manager, if any:
(1) The
proposed new tenant or the Successor Manager (or the individual with supervisory
control over the proposed new tenant or Successor Manager) must have a record,
for at least five (5) years, of maintenance and operation of assisted living
facilities and retirement housing facilities in a manner which will preserve
the
value of the Facility.
(2) The
proposed new tenant or the Successor Manager (or the individual with supervisory
control over the proposed new tenant or Successor Manager) must have a proven
record, for at least five (5) years, of marketing and managing its facilities
successfully from the standpoint of both quality of care and profitability,
and
treatment of its employees so as to avoid labor conflicts.
(3) The
proposed new tenant (or the Successor Manager) must have sufficient management
quality and depth to take on the operation of the Facility and the Other
Facilities.
(4) The
proposed new tenant or the Successor Manager) is an established firm of good
reputation (or the individual with supervisory control over the proposed
new
tenant or Successor Manager has an established good reputation for operating
such facilities).
34
22.5 For
purposes of Section 22.3(B), pursuant to which Landlord's withholding of
consent
shall be considered reasonable unless the proposed assignee is to operate
the
Other Facilities as well as the Facility, the terms of Section 22.3(B) shall
be
considered as satisfied if the Other Leases are to be assumed by or one or
more
Affiliates of the proposed assignee, and the following conditions are
met:
A. Any
Affiliate(s) of the proposed assignee which is to assume any of the Other
Leases
shall meet the standards stated in Section 22.3 of the Other Leases (identical
to Section 22.3 of this Lease).
B. For
purposes of a transfer resulting from a leasehold mortgage under Section
22.4,
the Affiliates (or the Successor Manager retained by such Affiliates) shall
meet
the standards stated in Section 22.4 of the Other Leases (identical to Section
22.4 of this Lease).
C. The
proposed assignee and its Affiliate(s) which shall operate the Other Facilities
shall remain under common control for the period that the proposed assignee
operates the Facility and its Affiliates operate the Other
Facilities.
D. For
purposes of a transfer resulting from a leasehold mortgage under Section
22.4,
if a Successor Manager is retained to manage the Facility or any of the Other
Facilities, the Successor Manager shall continue to manage the Facility and
the
Other Facilities for the period that the proposed assignee operates the Facility
and its Affiliates operate the Other Facilities.
22.6 The
obligation under Section 2.3 to maintain a Management Agreement with the
Management Company or an Authorized Assignee shall no longer be in effect
in the
event of a transfer of this Lease as the result of a leasehold mortgage as
described in Section 22.4, but if satisfaction of the standards of Section
22.4(B)(1)-(4) is based on the qualification of a Successor Manager,
continuation of the Lease shall be conditioned on such Successor Manager's
continuing management of the Facility (and any Other Facilities for which
satisfaction of the conditions of Section 22.4(B)(1)-(4) of the Other Lease
is
based on the qualification of such Successor Manager) for the duration of
the
period that the proposed assignee operates the Facility and its Affiliates
operate the Other Facilities.
22.7 The
Tenant and Tenant's legal representatives or successors in interest, by
operation of law or otherwise, shall not sublet the Leased Premises, or any
part
thereof, to any person whatsoever; provided, however, that the Tenant may,
if
permitted under the terms of any Mortgage applicable to the Facility, sublet
up
to 2,000 square feet of the Facility to another service provider in furtherance
of the operation of the Facility, or in furtherance of another activity
undertaken by Tenant with the consent of Landlord, so long as the Resident
Capacity of the Facility is not reduced and so long as the term of any such
sublease does not extend beyond the Scheduled Lease Term.
35
22.8 Any
consent by the Landlord to any act of transfer, assignment or mortgaging
shall
be held to apply only to the specific transaction thereby authorized. Such
consent shall not be construed as a waiver of the duty of the Tenant, or
the
legal representatives or assigns of the Tenant, to obtain from the Landlord
consent to any other or subsequent transfer, assignment or mortgage, or as
modifying or limiting the rights of the Landlord under the foregoing covenant
of
the Tenant not to transfer or assign without such consent.
22.9 Any
violation of any provision of this Lease Agreement, whether by act or omission,
by any transferee, assignee or mortgagee shall be deemed a violation of such
provision by the Tenant, it being the intention and meaning of the parties
hereto that the Tenant shall assume and be liable to the Landlord for any
and
all acts and omissions of any and all transferees, assignees or
mortgages.
22.10 If
Tenant's rights under this Lease Agreement shall be transferred, assigned
or
mortgaged, the Landlord may and is hereby empowered to collect rent from
any
transferee, assignee or (if such mortgagee takes possession of the Premises)
mortgagee, and the Landlord may apply the net amount received by it to the
Net
Rent herein reserved, and no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of
the
covenant herein against transfer, assignment or mortgaging, or the acceptance
of
the transferee, assignee or mortgagee as a tenant, or release of the Tenant
from
further performance of the covenants herein contained on the part of the
Tenant
to be performed.
22.11 Each
transfer, assignment or mortgage of this Lease Agreement or of the Leased
Premises to which the Landlord may consent shall be by an instrument in writing
and shall be executed by the transferor, assignor or mortgagor and the
transferee, assignee or mortgagee, in each instance, as the case may be.
Each
such transferee, assignee or mortgagee shall agree in writing for the benefit
of
the Landlord herein to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by
the
Tenant relating to the period beginning as of the date of the transfer to
such
new tenant.
22.12 If
Tenant grants a mortgage of its leasehold and gives Landlord notice identifying
the leasehold mortgagee, Landlord shall provide to such leasehold mortgagee(s)
a
copy of any notice sent by Landlord of a default by Tenant pursuant to this
Lease, and Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease until
such
leasehold mortgagee(s) has/have received such notice and has/have had an
opportunity, for a period which is the greater of thirty (30) days or the
otherwise applicable cure period granted to Tenant under this Lease, to cure
the
alleged default by Tenant.
36
23. DEFAULT

one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default
hereunder ("Event of Default" or "Default"):

default shall be made in the due and punctual payment of Base Rent, Variable
Rent, Escrow Deposits, or any payment of Additional Rent required to be made
by
Tenant under the terms of this Lease Agreement, and such default shall continue

in this
Lease Agreement other than those referred to in the foregoing Section 23.1A,
for
a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from the Landlord to the
Tenant specifying the items in default, or in the case of default which cannot
with due diligence be cured within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant fails
to
commence within said thirty (30) day period to cure the same and thereafter
to
prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence, it being intended
that
for a default not susceptible of being cured with due diligence within said
thirty (30) day period, the time provided to the Tenant within which to cure
the
same shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the
same
with all due diligence.
C. Occurrence
Of Performance
Trigger Event. Tenant's failure to submit a timely Plan of Correction
after the occurrence of a Performance Trigger Event, or Tenant's failure
to
complete a Cure within ninety (90) days after submission of a Plan of
Correction.
D. Loss
Of License. Any
license required by the Facility for continued operation is placed on suspension
or probation, and such suspension or probation remains in effect for more
than
thirty (30) days after Tenant has received written notice thereof; or such

E. Financial
Failure
(1) Event
of Insolvency:
Voluntary. If Tenant or the Management Company shall file a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or
shall
file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under
the
present or any future federal bankruptcy law or any other present or future
federal, state or other bankruptcy or insolvency statute or law, or shall
seek
or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any bankruptcy or insolvency
trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or the Management Company for all
or
any substantial part of their property or of the Leased Premises, and if
such
condition shall continue for a period of ninety (90) days.
37
(2) Event
of Insolvency:
Involuntary. If any proceeding against Tenant or the Management Company
seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar remedy under the present or any future federal bankruptcy
law or any other present or future federal, state or other bankruptcy or
insolvency statute or law is commenced, and if such proceedings shall not
have
been dismissed within ninety (90) days, or if, within ninety (90) days after
the
appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of the Tenant or the Management
Company, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Tenant or the Management
Company, or of all or substantially all of its properties or of the Leased
Premises, such appointment shall not have been vacated.
(3) Abandonment.
If
the
Tenant shall cease operating the Facility or the Facility shall become vacant,
and such condition continues without correction for two (2) days after written
notice to Tenant from Landlord (provided that a reasonable period during
which
any renovations are performed by Tenant or during which such condition continues
as a reasonable result of any casualty or condemnation shall not count toward
such two (2) period).
(4) Insolvency
Of Guarantor.
If Landlord's consent to an
assignment
of this Lease is conditioned upon the agreement of a guarantor to guaranty
the
performance of the obligations under this Lease by the Tenant, any insolvency
of
such guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall for purposes of Section
23.1(E)(1)-(2) have the same effect as insolvency of the Tenant.
F. Effect
of Default.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as described in Section
23.1A,
B, C, D, or E (or an Event of Default as to any of the Other Leases as provided
in Section 33 below), Landlord at any time thereafter during which such event
remains outstanding may give written notice to the Tenant specifying such
Event
of Default or Events of Default and demanding that Tenant cure the same,
or, at
the option of the Landlord, the said written notice shall either declare
Landlord's intention to repossess the Leased Property without terminating
this
Lease Agreement, in which case Section 23.5B hereof shall apply, or, the
said
written notice may state that this Lease Agreement and the term hereby demised
shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice. For an Event
of
Default described in Section 23.1 C, the termination date shall be not sooner
than ninety (90) days after the date of the notice of termination. For an
Event
of Default involving nonpayment of Net Rent as set forth in Section 23.1A,
the
termination date may be at any time on or after the date of the notice of
termination. For any other Event of Default, the termination date shall be
at
least ten (10) days after the giving of such notice. Upon the date specified
in
such notice, this Lease Agreement and the term hereby demised and all rights
of
the parties under this Lease Agreement shall expire and terminate, and the
Tenant shall remain liable as provided in this Section 23, and the provisions
of
Section 23.5C hereof shall apply.
23.2 Any
such proceeding or action involving bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar
relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy law or any other
present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, above
set
forth in Section 23.1 C and 23.1 D hereof, shall be grounds for the termination
of this Lease Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 23, if such
proceeding, act or remedy shall be taken or brought by or against Tenant,
the
then holder of the leasehold estate (including any assignee or sublessee
of
Tenant) under this Lease Agreement, or the Management Company.
38
23.3 Upon
the date specified by Landlord in a notice of repossession of the Facility
as
described above (with or without termination of this Lease Agreement), the
Tenant shall quit and peaceably surrender the Leased Property to the Landlord,
and the employees of the Facility shall become employees of the Landlord
or
Landlord's nominee in accordance with the terms of the Agreement To Lease.
Landlord or Landlord's nominee, upon such date, may without further notice
enter
upon and re-enter the Facility and the Leased Premises and possess and repossess
the Leased Property, by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise,
and
may dispossess the Tenant and remove the Tenant and all other persons and
property from the Facility and may have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property
and
the right to receive all rental income of and from the same. Landlord shall
save, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless of and from any and all liability,
loss, cost or expense arising from the acts of persons other than Tenant
or its
agents from and after the date Tenant loses possession of the Facility pursuant
to this Section 23 (the "Repossession Date"), for all duties relating to
Resident accommodations provided after such date, loss occurring after such
date
of required approvals under any federal, state or local licensure, permits
or
consents for the Facility, and the maintenance and obtaining of all other
governmental approvals then or thereafter required. Upon the date specified
by
Landlord in a notice of repossession of the Facility, any contracts entered
into
by Tenant with respect to the operation of the Facility shall, at the option
of
Landlord, be assigned to and become the property of Landlord or Landlord's
nominee.
23.4 If
this Lease Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to this Section 23, or
if
Landlord reenters the Leased Premises without terminating this Lease Agreement
as provided in Section 23.1 G hereof, by summary proceedings or otherwise,
the
Landlord may in its own name, but as agent for the Tenant if this Lease
Agreement not be terminated, or if this Lease Agreement be terminated in
Landlord's own behalf, relet the Facility and Facility Equipment, or any
part
thereof, for such term or terms, which may be greater or less than the period
which would have otherwise constituted the balance of the term of this Lease
Agreement, and on conditions which may include concessions or free rent and
alterations of the Leased Premises, as Landlord in its uncontrolled discretion
may determine, and may collect and may receive the rents therefore.
(1) Tenant
shall cooperate with Landlord or Landlord's nominee, in the event of such
termination or re-entry, to enable Landlord or Landlord's nominee to assume
operation of the Facility. Specifically, and without limitation, Tenant shall
(a) allow such party to hire employees who are employed by Tenant at the
Facility; (b) allow such party to use Tenant's billing system (including
hardware and software) for at least six months, subject to such party using
good
faith diligence to assist Tenant in collection of Tenant's receivables. Tenant
shall cooperate in transfer of control of the Facility to Landlord or Landlord's
nominee in the same manner as Landlord's transfer of control of the Facility
to
Tenant at the commencement of this Lease.
39
(2) Subject
to Sections 23.5B, 23.5C, and 23.5F hereof, the Landlord shall not be
responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Leased Premises or Facility
Equipment, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due
upon
such reletting; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the duty to mitigate
its damages.
23.5 Damages
payable by Tenant in the event of expiration, termination, or reentry and
repossession of the Leased Premises pursuant to Section 23.1G shall include
the
cost of restoration as described in Section 23.5A, plus the Rent Differential
as
described in Section 23.5B if Landlord elects not to terminate the Lease,
or the
Termination Deficiency as described in Section 23.5C if Landlord elects to
terminate the Lease, plus, in either event, interest and expenses as provided
in
Sections 23.5D and 23.5E.
A. Restoration
Cost. If
this Lease shall expire, terminate or if the
Landlord
shall re-enter and repossess the Facilities and Facility Equipment with or
without terminating this Lease, all as in Section 23.1 G provided, then and
in
any of such events, the Tenant covenants and agrees in accordance with the
terms
otherwise set forth in this Lease Agreement:
(1) That
the Leased Premises and Facility Equipment shall be in the same condition
as
that in which the Tenant has agreed in this Lease to surrender them to the
Landlord at the expiration of the term hereof;
(2) That
Tenant, on or before the occurrence of any such event, shall perform any
covenant contained in this Lease Agreement that specifically requires the
making
of any improvement or alteration to the Leased Premises or Facility Equipment
or
for restoring or rebuilding any part thereof; and
(3) That,
for the default of any covenant above stated in this Section 23.5A, Landlord
shall be entitled to recover and Tenant shall immediately pay, without notice
or
other action by Landlord, the then reasonable and actual cost of performing
such
covenant, plus interest thereon (at the prime rate as published in the Wall
Street Journal in effect at the time of payment, but not to exceed the maximum
legal rate under applicable law) for the period between the date of payment
received by Landlord from Tenant and the date when such work or act should
have
been performed under the other provisions of this Lease Agreement.
B. Rent
Deficiency Payable
Monthly Before Termination. In the event of such re-entry and
repossession of the Facility and Facility Equipment without termination of
this
Lease, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord the Base Rent and Additional Rent
accruing up to the time of such event, and, in the event of the re-entry
or
repossession of the Facility and Facility Equipment without the termination
of
this Lease, the Tenant, until the end of the term of this Lease Agreement,
shall
be liable to the Landlord for damages for Tenant's default, for an amount
which
is determined to be the equivalent of the amount of the Base Rent, Additional
Rent, and all charges payable under this Lease Agreement by Tenant on a monthly
basis during the remaining Lease Term, less the then fair and reasonable
rental
value of the Leased Premises and Facility Equipment for the same period,
after
deducting Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such re-entry
or
repossession, which shall include, without limitation, all reasonable
repossession costs, brokerage and management commissions, operating expenses
attributable to effecting such re-entry or repossession, legal expenses,
attorneys' fees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparing for such reletting.
The Tenant shall pay such damages as in this Section 23.5B provided (herein
called the "Rent Differential") to Landlord monthly on the days on which
the
Base Rent would have been payable under this Lease Agreement if Tenant were
still in possession, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant
each
monthly deficiency as the same shall arise. Nothing herein contained shall
prevent Landlord from terminating this Lease Agreement thereafter for any
such
Event of Default.
40
C. Termination
Deficiency:Present Value of Rent Differential. In case of any termination
of this Lease Agreement by Landlord as provided in Sections 23.1 G, the Landlord
shall, as of the date of such termination, become entitled to recover from
the
Tenant, as damages for such default, an amount equal to the present value,
as of
the date of such termination, of the difference between the Base Rent and
Additional Rent due from the date of such Default until the end of the Scheduled
Lease Term and the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises
and Facility Equipment for the same period. Said damages (hereinafter called
the
"Termination Deficiency") shall become due and payable to Landlord, provided
that an Event of Default of this Lease Agreement has occurred, immediately
upon
Landlord's declaration of termination of this Lease. Any rent deficiency
paid by
Tenant after Default but prior to termination, pursuant to Section 23.5B,
shall
be credited against the Termination Deficiency. In the computation of such
Termination Deficiency, the present value of the difference between any
installment of Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved herein, during what
would
have been the remaining term of this Lease Agreement, and the fair and
reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises and Facility Equipment for
the
said term, shall be calculated based on a discount rate equal to the discount
rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in effect at the time of
payment.
D. Interest.
In
addition
to liability for interest and late charges on late payment of rent as provided
in Section 6.6 above, Tenant shall be liable for interest on the Termination
Deficiency or any other amount for which Tenant is liable hereunder at the
Default Rate.
E. Expenses
Resulting from
Breach. If this Lease Agreement shall terminate as a result of breach by
Tenant or if the Landlord shall re-enter and repossess the Facilities and
Facility Equipment without terminating the Lease, all as in Section 23.1
G
provided, and whether or not the Leased Premises and Facility Equipment shall
be
relet, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant and Tenant shall
pay to
Landlord, in addition to any damages becoming due under this Section 23,
if said
amount is not already included in the computation of said damages, the
following: an amount equal to all reasonable expenses, if any, incurred by
Landlord as a prudent businessman and not reimbursed to Landlord or its
successor, assignee or the then tenant or occupant of the Leased Premises,
by
third party payors, including reasonable attorneys' fees or other expenses,
incurred by the Landlord in recovering possession of the Leased
Premises.
41
F. Determination
of Fair Rental
Value. Fair rental value, for purposes of this Section 23, shall be the
highest amount which could be obtained by renting the Facilities to another
party for a period at least as long as the remainder of the Scheduled Lease
Term
under the same terms (other than with respect to Base Rent) as specified
in this
Lease Agreement; provided, however, that the following procedures shall be
used.
(1) If
Landlord leases the Facility to another party for the remainder of the Scheduled
Lease Term (or longer), the rent agreed to by such party shall conclusively
establish the fair rental value of the Facility in the absence of an actual
offer to lease for a higher amount for the same term tendered by a party
unrelated to Tenant (whether by shared ownership of any financial or contractual
affiliation; hereafter, "Unrelated Party") having a net worth equal to or
greater than the net worth of the party having leased from the
Landlord.
(2) If
the Facility is leased by Landlord to another party for only part of the
remaining Scheduled Lease Term, the rent payable under such agreement shall
conclusively establish the fair rental value for the entire remaining Scheduled
Lease Term, subject to Tenant's right to offset against the Termination
Deficiency as calculated on that basis (or, if the Termination Deficiency
has
been paid and is not subject to recovery as a preference in the event of
Tenant's insolvency, Tenant's right to recover from Landlord) an adjustment
reflecting any greater rent actually received by Landlord for any portion
of the
remaining Scheduled Lease Term.
(3) If
the Facility is not leased by Landlord to any other party, the fair rental
value, for purposes of calculating the rent differential and the Termination
Deficiency, shall be the highest rent offered by any Unrelated Party having
a
net worth equal to or greater than the greater of the net worth of Tenant
(as
stated based on generally accepted accounting principles in its most recent
audited financial statement), for a lease term at least as long as the remainder
of the Scheduled Lease Term (or longer).
23.6 Except
as in this Section 23 provided, the Tenant hereby expressly waives, so far
as
permitted by law, the service of any notice of intention to re-enter provided
for in any statute, and except as is herein and otherwise provided, the Tenant
for and on behalf of itself and all persons claiming through and under Tenant,
including any leasehold mortgagee or other creditor, also waives any and
all
right of redemption or reentry or repossession in case Tenant shall be
dispossessed by a judgment in favor of Landlord or in case of any expiration,
termination, re-entry or repossession without expiration or termination of
this
Lease following an Event of Default hereunder. The terms "enter", "re-enter",
"entry" or "re-entry" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their
technical legal meanings.
42
23.7 No
failure by Landlord to insist on the strict performance of any agreement,
term,
covenant, or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent
upon
a Default thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial rent during the
continuance of any such Default, shall constitute a waiver of any such Default
or of such agreement, term, covenant, or condition. No agreement, term,
covenant, or condition hereof to be performed or complied with by Tenant
and no
Default thereof shall be waived, altered or modified except by written
instrument executed by Landlord. No waiver of any Default shall affect or
alter
this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition hereof
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing
or subsequent Default thereof
23.8 Each
right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall
be in
addition to every other right and remedy existing at law or in equity or
by
statute or otherwise. The exercise of any such right shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise of any other right provided under this Lease
or
existing at law or in equity.
23A LANDLORD
DEFAULT
23A.1 Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event of default by Landlord
as follows.
A. Landlord
Default Not Cured
Within Cure Period. If
default
shall be made by Landlord in substantial performance or compliance with any
of
the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions in this Lease Agreement for
a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice from the Tenant to the Landlord
specifying the items in default, or in the case of default which cannot with
due
diligence be cured within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord fails to
commence within said thirty (30) day period to cure the same and thereafter
to
prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence, it being intended
that
for a default not susceptible of being cured with due diligence within said
thirty (30) day period, the time provided to the Landlord within which to
cure
the same shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete
the
same with all due diligence.
B. Notice
To Mortgagee And
Opportunity For Cure. Tenant
shall
provide to the Mortgagee(s) any notice sent by Tenant pursuant to Section
23A.1.
Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease until the Mortgagee
has
received such notice and has had an opportunity, for a period which is the
greater of thirty (30) days or such commercially reasonable time (not to
exceed
sixty days) as may be specified in the Mortgage for such purpose, to cure
the
alleged default by Landlord.
23A.2 In
the event of default by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to recover, in
addition to any amounts otherwise owed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease,
interest on any amount for which Landlord is liable hereunder at the Default
Rate. If Tenant pays any amount to a Mortgagee which Landlord has wrongfully
failed to pay, in order to cure a default by Landlord under a Mortgage, Tenant
shall be entitled to offset the amount of such payment by Tenant against
the
next installment of Base Rent otherwise due.
43
23A.3
No failure by Tenant to insist on the strict performance of any agreement,
term,
covenant, or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent
upon
a default by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of any such default or of
such
agreement, term, covenant, or condition. No agreement, term, covenant, or
condition hereof to be performed or complied with by Landlord and no default
thereof shall be waived, altered or modified except by written instrument
executed by Tenant. No waiver of any default shall affect or alter this Lease,
but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition hereof shall continue
in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
default by Landlord.
24. CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS
24.1 As
used in this Lease, the term "capital improvement" shall mean any single
improvement, alteration, replacement or repair to the Leased Premises having
a
useful life in excess of the longer of twelve (12) months or the remaining
period within the then current lease term, but shall not include capital
improvements necessitated by a destruction of the Leased Property described
in
Section 18 and condemnation described in Section 19.
24.2 As
part of and in addition to its obligation to bear the cost of maintenance
and
repair as stated in Section 11, beginning on the Commencement Date and during
the term of this Lease, the Tenant will, at its expense, make whatever capital
improvements are required to meet the following standards: (a) at such time
as
the Facility becomes subject to a Mortgage purchased by FNMA, to comply with
FNMA standards for refurbishment of properties; (b) to comply with the standards
of any licenses required for the operation of the Facility; (c) to preserve
the
desirability and attractiveness of the Facility so that it remains competitive
with competing facilities in its market area. All capital improvements by
Tenant
shall be performed in a first class workmanlike manner.
24.3 As
provided in Section 11 hereof, all non-capital improvements, routine maintenance
and minor repairs to the Leased Property shall be the sole responsibility
of
Tenant throughout the term of this Lease.
24.4 Tenant
shall be entitled to use of the Replacement Reserve Fund, as described in
Section 7 above, for purposes of Qualifying Repairs and Replacements (as
defined
in Section 7) for purposes of meeting the obligations of this Section
24.
25. NOTICES
25.1 Any
notice, consent, approval or other communication (a "Notice") required to
be
given under this Agreement or pursuant to law shall be in writing and, unless
otherwise required by law, shall be either personally delivered (against
a
receipt), or sent by reputable overnight courier service, given by registered

certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by facsimile if
accompanied by electronic acknowledgement of receipt, addressed to the
respective parties at the following addresses:

26. QUIET
ENJOYMENT
Landlord
covenants and agrees that, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder
beyond
applicable notice and cure provisions, Tenant shall have possession of the
Leased Property during the term hereof. Landlord warrants and defends Tenant
in
such possession against the claims of all persons.
27. COVENANT
TO YIELD POSSESSION
27.1 Tenant
shall on the last day of the term hereof or any extension thereof, or upon
the
sooner termination of said term, surrender and deliver to Landlord or Landlord's
nominee the Leased Property, including all buildings, alterations, replacements,
changes, additions and improvements constructed, placed or added by Tenant,
including the equivalent of the Facility Equipment and the equivalent of
the
Supplies as delivered to Tenant on the Commencement Date. The Leased Property
as
delivered by Tenant to Landlord at the end of the Term shall be in Good
Condition, as described in Section 4.4 above. Tenant shall use reasonable
efforts, but without incurring any material expense, to cooperate with Landlord
in the transfer of employees (both licensed and unlicensed) in the Facility,
the
transfer of all resident trust funds held by Tenant, and the transfer of
all
resident records to the Landlord or Landlord's nominee at the time of transfer
of the Leased Property. The Equipment and Supplies as yielded by Tenant shall
be
reasonably sufficient for Continuing Operations.
27.2 If
the Tenant retains possession of the Leased Property after termination of
this
Lease by lapse of time or otherwise without the written consent of Landlord,
Tenant shall pay Landlord, in order to compensate Landlord for such wrongful
withholding of possession, an amount calculated at 150% of the Base Rent
in
effect immediately prior to such termination for the period of such wrongful
possession, plus all damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such wrongful
possession. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Lease has been
terminated and neither Landlord nor a successor operator designated by Landlord
has received a required license to operate the Facility, Tenant may remain
in
possession, until such time as a successor operator having received such
required license is prepared to operate the Facility, subject to the same
Base
Rent and Additional Rent as are otherwise applicable under this Lease; provided,
that nothing herein relieves Tenant from obligations under other provisions
of
this Lease.
28. ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES
28.1 Tenant
agrees at any time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice
from
Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying:
(a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect [or if there
have
been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified,
stating the modifications]; (b) the dates to which rent under this Lease
have
been paid; (c) whether or not, to the best knowledge of Tenant, Landlord
is in
default in keeping, observing or performing any term, covenant, or provision
contained in the Lease, and if in default, specifying such default; (d) stating
whether or not, within the knowledge of Tenant, there are then any setoffs
or
defenses in favor of Tenant against the enforcement of any of the terms of
this
Lease by Landlord, and if so, specifying the same. It is intended that such
statement delivered by Tenant may be relied upon by Landlord, any Mortgagee,
or
any prospective mortgagee holding or anticipating the acquisition of a Mortgage
on the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or any transferee or anticipated
transferee of Landlord's interest in the Lease or the Leased
Property.
46
28.2 Landlord
agrees at any time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice
from
Tenant, to execute and deliver to Tenant a statement in writing certifying:
(a)
that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect [or if there have
been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified,
stating the modifications]; (b) the dates to which rent under this Lease
have
been paid; (c) whether or not, to the best knowledge of Landlord, Tenant
is in
default in keeping, observing or performing any term, covenant, or provision
contained in the Lease, and if in default, specifying such default. It is
intended that such statement delivered by Landlord may be relied upon by
Tenant
or Tenant's creditors, proposed mortgagee or assignee or
transferee.
29. PERSONAL
PROPERTY
29.1 Landlord
has delivered the Premises to Tenant in "turn-key" condition, i.e., fully
operable condition, including reasonably necessary Equipment and Supplies.
Tenant shall maintain, repair and keep in good working order and, if necessary,
replace the items of Equipment and Supplies during the term of this Lease
and
any extensions hereof Except as otherwise agreed in writing signed by Landlord,
all property placed by Tenant upon the Leased Premises shall become and remain
the property of Landlord and shall not be removed from the Leased Premises
by
Tenant upon the termination of this Lease. Upon the termination of this Lease,
the Equipment and any replacements shall be returned to Landlord in as good
condition as on the Commencement Date, subject to ordinary wear and tear
which
is consistent with a program of maintenance as described in Section 11 above
and
replacements as described in Section 24 above.
29.2 Landlord
and Tenant shall jointly cause the Facility staff to prepare an Equipment
List
and Inventory of Supplies as of the day prior to the Commencement Date, which
shall be signed by both Landlord and Tenant, and shall be attached as Exhibit
B
to this Lease.
29.3 So
long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant may sell or otherwise
dispose of any item of Equipment so long as Tenant promptly replaces the
same
with other property of the same character and actual value as the item disposed
of, and provided such items shall not be acquired through any leasing or
financing arrangements calling for payments over time, so that Landlord shall
receive, upon the termination of this Lease, unencumbered title to such
replacement items.
47
29.4 On
such Repossession Date as Landlord receives possession of the Premises from
Tenant, Tenant shall convey to Landlord Supplies of a quantity and quality
substantially equal to the quantity and quality of the Supplies delivered
to
Tenant by Landlord on the Commencement Date, as evidenced by Exhibit B. If
the
quantity and quality of the Supplies delivered by Tenant to Landlord on the
Repossession Date is substantially less than the quantity and quality of
the
Supplies delivered to Tenant on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord
the amount of the difference in value on the Repossession Date. If the quantity
and quality of the Supplies delivered to Landlord on the Repossession Date
is
substantially greater than the quantity and quality of the Supplies delivered
to
Tenant on the Commencement Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of
the
difference in value on the Repossession Date. Supplies shall be valued at
the
transferor's acquisition cost.

whether by its own act, operation of law or otherwise in violation of any

provisions of this Lease, shall confer any rights upon such
transferee.
40. TENANT
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER AND FIRST REFUSAL.
Landlord
gives to Tenant, from the Commencement Date until termination of this Lease
or
any extensions thereof, the right of first offer to purchase the Premises,
as
described below.
A. During
such period, Landlord shall not offer to any other party the opportunity
to buy
the Leased Property without first notifying Tenant in writing that Landlord
is
considering selling the Leased Property and allowing Tenant thirty (30) days
following such written notice (the "Offer Period") to negotiate with Landlord
concerning possible terms of sale, during which the parties shall negotiate
in
good faith. Tenant shall have the rights as described in sub-section D of
this
Section 40 if Tenant shall, within the Offer Period, submit to Landlord a
written offer to purchase the Leased Property ("Firm Offer") meeting the
following conditions:
(1) such
offer shall specify that Landlord may accept the offer at any time within
thirty
(30) days after the Offer Period, notwithstanding any counteroffer Landlord
may
have made;
(2) such
offer shall not be subject to any contingency or condition relating to (a)
financing; (b) any matter under the control of Summerville, Apollo, Tenant
or
any Affiliate thereof; (c) a "due diligence" examination, including without
limitation any examination of the condition of the Leased Property or matters
relating to Facility occupancy or employees; provided, that the obligation
to
purchase may be conditioned on Landlord's provision of marketable title
(including, without limitation, title that is free and clear of all liens
and
encumbrances, excepting matters other than Mortgages disclosed in Exhibit
I to
the Agreement To Lease) and compliance with other typical conditions and
seller
duties consistent with normal practice in the State for the purchase of
commercial real estate.
50
B. If
Landlord accepts such an offer from Tenant, the parties shall take all necessary
actions to close on the purchase and sale of the Leased Property within sixty
(60) days following receipt of notice from Landlord that Landlord has accepted.
If Tenant does not take all action necessary on its part to close within
such
sixty (60) days, Tenant's rights under this Section 40 shall be waived for
the
12-month period following the expiration of such sixty (60) days.
C. If
Tenant does not submit a Firm Offer within the Offer Period, Tenant shall
have
no further rights under this Section 40 for the 12-month period following
the
Offer Period, i.e., Landlord may sell the Premises, free of any claims thereto
on the part of Tenant, to any party with whom Landlord enters a binding
agreement (which may be subject to "due diligence" or conditions precedent)
within the twelve (12) month period following the expiration of the Offer
Period, provided that closing pursuant to such sale occurs within nine (9)
months after the entry into such agreement.
D. If
no agreement is reached between Landlord and Tenant during the Offer Period,
Landlord may, within the twelve (12) month period following the expiration
of
the Offer Period, solicit offers from other parties; provided, however, that
Landlord's right to accept (and sell the Leased Property pursuant to) any
offer
from another offeror which does not exceed the highest price of any Firm
Offer
submitted by Tenant during the Offer Period by more than 5%, or is not an
all
cash offer if Tenant has an all cash Firm Offer, shall be subject to Tenant's
right to purchase the Leased Property as set forth in subsection (2)
below.
(1) Landlord
may, within the twelve (12) month period following the expiration of the
Offer
Period, without further notice to Tenant, accept (and sell the Leased Property
pursuant to) an offer from a third party which exceeds the highest price
of any
Firm Offer submitted during the Offer Period by more than 5% (provided, if
Tenant has submitted an all-cash Firm Offer, that the offer from such other
party is an all-cash offer).
(2) If
Tenant has submitted a Firm Offer within the Offer Period, then for the twelve
(12) month period following the expiration of the Offer Period, prior to
accepting any offer from another offeror which does not exceed the highest
price
of any Firm Offer submitted by Tenant during the Offer Period by more than
5%
(or, if Tenant has submitted an all-cash offer and the offer which Landlord
intends to accept is not an all-cash offer), Landlord shall give Tenant written
notice of the terms and conditions of such offer, and Tenant shall have the
right to purchase the Leased Property pursuant to the terms of such offer,
subject to the following additional conditions below.
51
(i) Tenant
shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of notice from Landlord of
the
offer from another offeror within which Tenant may, by written notice to
Landlord, if the conditions of Tenant's right as stated above are satisfied,
elect to purchase the Premises on the terms proposed by such other offeror.
If
Tenant does not provide Landlord, within such time, with written notice of
its
intent to purchase on such terms, Tenant's right to purchase under the terms
proposed by such other offeror shall be waived, and Landlord may sell the
Leased
Property to such other offeror or to any other party at a price equal to
or
greater than (and other terms as favorable to Landlord as) the terms of the
third-party offer as stated in Landlord's notice to Tenant.
(ii) Landlord's
notification to Tenant of the terms of an offer from another offeror shall
state
the price and other conditions of the offer, and whether Landlord considers
Tenant to have made a Firm Offer sufficiently similar to the offer from such
other offeror to give Tenant the right to purchase the Leased Property on
the
terms proposed by the other offeror.
(iii) If
the other offeror has proposed to buy the Leased Property together with any
of
the Other Facilities, then Tenant's right to buy the Leased Property on the
terms proposed by the other offeror shall be conditioned on Tenant or Tenant's
Affiliates also offering to buy such Other Facilities on the terms proposed
by
the other offeror.
(iv) If
the terms proposed by another offeror include provision for the offeror to
decline to purchase after conducting a due diligence investigation of the
Leased
Property and/or any other property to be purchased, Tenant's right to purchase
the Leased Property upon the terms proposed by such other offeror shall be
conditioned upon Tenant's waiver of any such due diligence investigation
with
respect to the Leased Property (and any Other Facility to be purchased pursuant
to such offer if such Other Facility is at the time of such other offer is
leased or managed by Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant) relating to the
Facility's operating history, physical condition, or other matters which
Tenant,
as the occupier of the Facility, has knowledge.
E. If
Landlord has not, as of the end of the 12-month period following the Offer
Period, entered into a binding agreement to sell the Leased Property, and
Landlord at any time thereafter wishes to sell the Leased Property, then
Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing that Landlord has a continuing interest
in selling the Leased Property, and the same procedure shall apply as described
above, i.e., Tenant shall waive the right of first refusal as described herein
if it fails to submit a Firm Offer within thirty (30) days of receipt of
such
notice from Landlord, but if Tenant submits a Firm Offer within such period,
Tenant shall have the rights described above.
52
41. RELATIONSHIP
OF PARTIES
Landlord
is not for any purpose a partner or joint venturer with Tenant in the operation
of the Facilities or any business conducted on the Leased Premises. Except
as
expressly provided herein, Landlord shall not under any circumstances be

42. EFFECT
ON MORTGAGES

any
Mortgage on the Leased Property or any part thereof.
