iv
This MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (the “Lease”) is dated this 31st day of August, 2015 (the “Initial Commencement Date”), and is by and among the entities listed on Schedule 1-A attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference and incorporation (collectively, jointly and severally, the “Lessor”), having their principal office at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and the entities listed on Schedule 1-B attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference and incorporation (collectively, jointly and severally, the “Lessee”), having their principal office at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000.
STATEMENT OF INTENT
Subject to Articles V, XIV, XV, XXX and Section 16.1, this Lease constitutes one unitary, indivisible, non-severable true lease of all the Leased Property. This Lease does not constitute separate leases contained in one document each governed by similar terms. The use of the expression “unitary lease” to describe this Lease is not merely for convenient reference. It is the conscious choice of a substantive appellation to express the intent of Lessor and Lessee in regard to an integral part of this transaction, which is to accomplish the creation of an indivisible lease. Lessor and Lessee agree that from an economic point of view the portions of the Leased Property leased pursuant to this Lease constitute one economic unit and that the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based upon a lease of all the portions of the Leased Property as a single, composite, inseparable transaction. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), all provisions of this Lease, including definitions, commencement and expiration dates, rental provisions, use provisions, renewal provisions, breach, default, enforcement, termination and assignment and subletting provisions, shall apply equally and uniformly to all the Leased Property as one unit and are not severable. The economic terms of this Lease would have been substantially different had separate leases or a “divisible” lease been acceptable to Lessor. A default of any of the terms or conditions of this Lease occurring with respect to any particular Property shall constitute a default under this Lease with respect to all the Leased Property. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), Lessor and Lessee agree that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied such that the intention of Lessor and Lessee to create a unitary lease shall be preserved and maintained. Lessor and Lessee agree that for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365 or any amendment or successor section thereof, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease dealing with and covering one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Leased Property.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, MPT of Hartsville-Capella, LLC, MPT of McMinnville-Capella, LLC and MPT of Muskogee-Capella, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “MPT Real Estate Owner”), are the current owners of that certain real property more particularly described on Exhibits A-1 et seq. attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Owned Land”), and are also the current owners of all of the Leased Improvements (as hereinafter defined) located on the Owned Land;
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease dated as of August 31, 2015 (the “Assignment of Ground Lease”), the Oklahoma Lessee assigned to the Oklahoma Lessor all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Oklahoma Ground Lease (as hereinafter defined) whereby the Oklahoma Lessor (i) holds a leasehold interest in the Oklahoma Ground Leased Land (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) owns the improvements located on the Oklahoma Ground Leased Land during the term of the Oklahoma Ground Lease (after which time the improvements located on the Oklahoma Ground Leased Land revert to the “Landlord” under the Oklahoma Ground Lease);
WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith, MPT Real Estate Owner has leased the Land (as hereinafter defined) and the Leased Improvements to Lessor pursuant to that certain Master Lease Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be modified, amended or restated from time to time, the “Master Lease”); and

1.4 Certain Matters Relating to References to Leased Property. References herein to “a portion” of the Leased Property (or words or phrases of similar import) shall mean, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, a specific Property.
ARTICLE II
LEASED PROPERTY; TERM
Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Lessor leases to Lessee and Lessee rents from Lessor all of Lessor’s rights and interest in and to the following property (collectively, and as modified from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Lease, the “Leased Property”):
(a) the Land; and
(b) the existing improvements on the Land and the buildings and any improvements constructed on the Land, including, but not limited to, all buildings, structures, Fixtures and other improvements of every kind, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines (on-site and off-site), parking areas and roadways appurtenant to such buildings and structures presently or hereafter situated upon the Land, Capital Additions and all hereditaments, easements, rights of way and other appurtenances related thereto (collectively, the “Leased Improvements”).
SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to all applicable matters of record and any other matters as set forth on Exhibits B-1 et seq. (the “Permitted Exceptions”), Lessee shall have and hold the Leased Property for a fixed term (the “Fixed Term”) commencing on the Commencement Date and ending at midnight on the last day of the One Hundred Eightieth (180th) full month after the Initial Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated as herein provided.
So long as no Event of Default then exists and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, Lessee shall have the option to extend the Fixed Term on the same terms and conditions set forth herein for four (4) additional periods of five (5) years each (each an “Extension Term”); it being understood and agreed that Lessee’s exercise of any such extension option must apply to the entire Leased Property. Lessee may exercise each such option by giving written notice to Lessor at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Fixed Term or Extension
22
Term, as applicable (the “Extension Notice”). If, during the period following the delivery of the Extension Notice to Lessor and prior to the effective date of such extension, an Event of Default shall occur which is continuing on the commencement date of the Extension Term, at Lessor’s option, the Term shall not be so extended and Lessee shall be deemed to have forfeited all subsequent options to extend the Fixed Term of this Lease. If Lessee elects not to exercise its option to extend, all subsequent options to extend shall be deemed to have lapsed and be of no further force or effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Lease is expressly made subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and the Oklahoma Ground Lease, copies of which have been provided to Lessee prior to the execution hereof. MPT Real Estate Owner has acknowledged and consented to the terms and provisions of this Lease and Lessee’s rights as sublessee of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, Lessee’s options to purchase the Leased Property as provided herein. MPT Real Estate Owner has further agreed to cooperate with Lessor and Lessee and to perform such acts and execute such agreements and instruments as shall be necessary to effect the terms and provisions of this Lease, and to comply with all requirements and perform all obligations pursuant to the Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if during the final Extension Term of this Lease, the Oklahoma Ground Lease expires by its terms without Lessor or Lessee being able to negotiate an extension of the term thereof acceptable to both parties, or Lessor rejects the Oklahoma Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, the Base Rent shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2. To the extent the Oklahoma Ground Lease has any renewal options that cover a period during the Term, Lessee and Lessor agree that Lessor shall exercise such renewal options.
ARTICLE III
RENT
3.1 Rent. During the Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in advance and without notice, demand, set off or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America, at Lessor’s address set forth herein or at such other place or to such other person, firm or entity as Lessor may designate from time to time in writing in accordance with Article XXXII, the Rent as provided in this Lease. Lessor has the sole discretion to determine, the method of payment of Rent, and will require that such payments initially be forwarded to Lessor utilizing the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Network. Lessee shall take all reasonably necessary steps and bear any and all reasonable costs associated with utilizing ACH to timely deliver payments of Rent to Lessor. All payments of Rent made through ACH remain payments of Rent and, as such, are subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the default provisions. With respect to each Facility, Rent shall be calculated and payable as follows:
(a) Allocated Base Rent. With respect to each Property, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including adjustments set forth in Section 3.1(b) below), Lessee shall pay to Lessor in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term base rent allocated thereto (the “Allocated Base Rent”) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Lease
23
Base for such Property as of the last day of the immediately preceding month (or as of the Commencement Date with respect to the amount payable for the first month of the Term), multiplied by (ii) the Lease Rate, divided by (iii) twelve (12); provided, however, if the Commencement Date with respect to such Property is other than the first day of a calendar month, Allocated Base Rent for the period from the Commencement Date for such Property to the first day of the first (1st) full month shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon a three hundred sixty (360) and shall be paid on the Commencement Date. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the Allocated Base Rent is payable in advance and, accordingly, with respect to additions to the Lease Base and Capital Additions funded by Lessor with respect to any Property on or after the first (1st) day of any month (and, therefore, not included in the calculation of the Allocated Base Rent paid in advance for a particular month with respect to such Property), Allocated Base Rent shall include a per diem Allocated Base Rent for the prior month (prorated based upon a three hundred sixty (360) day year in the same manner as set forth above) to be calculated by multiplying the amount of any such advance by the Lease Rate for such Property. Lessor shall provide Lessee with an invoice of such amounts prior to the first day of the next calendar month (the “Interim Capital Addition Rent”); provided, however, Lessor’s failure to provide Lessee with an invoice for the Interim Capital Addition Rent relating to any Property prior to the first day of the next calendar month shall not limit or affect the Lessee’s obligations hereunder to pay such Interim Capital Addition Rent. Allocated Base Rent and Interim Capital Addition Rent relating to each Property shall be payable in advance in equal, consecutive monthly installments.
(b) Adjustment of Allocated Base Rent. With respect to each Property, commencing on January 1, 2017, and continuing on each January 1 thereafter (each an “Adjustment Date”) during the Term, the Lease Rate applicable to such Property shall be increased (and in no event decreased) and shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Lease Rate for such Property previously in effect, and (ii) the product of such previous Lease Rate multiplied by the greater of (A) Two Percent (2.0%) and (B) the percentage by which the CPI published for the month of October prior to the applicable Adjustment Date shall have increased over the CPI figure published for the month of October prior to the previous Adjustment Date (the CPI figure published for the month of October 2015 shall be used in connection with the recalculation on January 1, 2017) (such escalator used in calculating the adjusted Lease Rate being referred to herein as the “Escalator”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Escalator be greater than Four Percent (4.0%) on any Adjustment Date. For any monetary increases or adjustments that cannot be determined as of the applicable Adjustment Date due to then unknown variables (such as CPI), such amounts shall become due (and calculated retroactively to the Adjustment Date) and payable as of the time of determination.
(c) Rent Schedule. From time to time during the Term, Lessor may, in its reasonable discretion, calculate the Base Rent and Interim Capital Addition Rent payable hereunder (the “Rent Schedule”), and provide a copy of such Rent Schedule to Lessee. Base Rent, as calculated in accordance with Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) above, shall include Interim Capital Addition Rent and Allocated Base Rent payable with respect to the entire Leased
24
Property. The Rent Schedule shall be adjusted and substituted on a periodic basis by Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, as the Interim Capital Addition Rent and Base Rent are adjusted and calculated during the Term as provided herein. Lessor’s failure to provide a copy of the Rent Schedule or substitute or adjusted Rent Schedule shall not limit or affect the Lessee’s obligations hereunder.
3.2 Additional Charges. In addition to the Base Rent and the Oklahoma Ground Lease Rent that Lessee assumes or agrees to pay under this Lease, (a) Lessee will pay and discharge as and when due and payable other amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions related to the ownership, use, possession and operation of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all costs of owning and operating each Facility, all Real Estate Taxes, Insurance Premiums, maintenance and capital improvements, all violations of and defaults under any of the Permitted Exceptions, and all licensure violations, civil monetary penalties and fines, and (b) in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any of those items referred to in clause (a) above, Lessee will also promptly pay and reimburse Lessor, MPT Real Estate Owner and/or their respective Affiliates for all such amounts paid by Lessor, MPT Real Estate Owner and/or their Affiliates and promptly pay and discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of such items (the items referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above being referred to herein collectively as the “Additional Charges”), and Lessor shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided in this Lease, by statute, or otherwise, in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges, as in the case of the Base Rent. If any installment of Base Rent or Additional Charges shall not be paid within five (5) Business Days after the applicable due date, Lessee, in addition to all other obligations hereunder, will pay to Lessor on demand as Additional Charges, a late charge computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof, and a Late Payment Penalty with respect to such installment. To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor pursuant to clause (b) above or pursuant to any other requirement of this Lease, Lessee shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which they would otherwise be due. Nothing in this Section 3.2 limits the provisions of Article XXII.
3.3 Rent and Payments under the Oklahoma Ground Lease. Lessee shall pay all rent and all other charges and amounts due and payable under the Oklahoma Ground Lease (collectively, the “Oklahoma Ground Lease Rent”) during the Term directly to the “Landlord” thereunder as and when the same becomes due and payable as required under the Oklahoma Ground Lease, and Lessee shall provide Lessor with reasonable evidence of payment each month confirming that the Oklahoma Ground Lease Rent has been timely paid.
ARTICLE IV
IMPOSITIONS
4.1 Payment of Impositions. Subject to and without limiting Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, with such payments to be made directly to the
25
taxing or assessing authorities, and Lessee will promptly furnish to Lessor copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Lessee’s obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date that any such Imposition becomes a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof. If any such Imposition may lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Lessee may, with Lessor’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term (subject to and without limiting Lessee’s right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article XII) as the same respectively become due. Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by governmental authorities in respect of Lessor’s net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Lessee, at its expense, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by governmental authorities. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority with respect to any Imposition paid by Lessee, the same shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Any such funds retained by Lessor due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided in Article XVI. Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide any data (i) that is maintained by the party to whom the request is made, and (ii) that pertains to the Leased Property, as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event that any Governmental Body classifies any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Lessee shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. In the event that Lessor is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Lessee will be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Lessee to file a protest. After obtaining written approval from Lessor, which approval shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Lessee may, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Lessee may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments, and Lessor, at Lessee’s expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action. Xxxxxxxx for reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of personal property taxes shall be accompanied by copies of a xxxx therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are made.
4.2 Adjustment of Impositions. Impositions that are levied or assessed with respect to the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates, unless Lessee purchases the Leased Property pursuant to purchase options expressly provided herein, if any, shall be adjusted and prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Lessee’s obligation to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such termination.
26
4.3 Utility Charges. Lessee will contract for, in its own name, and will pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, sewer, water and other utilities used in connection with the Leased Property during the Term, including, without limitation, all impact and tap fees necessary for the operation of the Facilities, except to the extent that such impact and tap fees were or are to be paid by Lessor as part of the cost of a Capital Addition.
4.4 Insurance Premiums. Lessee shall contract for, in its own name, and shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article XIII during the Term (the “Insurance Premiums”).
ARTICLE V
ABSOLUTE NET LEASE; NO TERMINATION;
TERMINATION WITH RESPECT
TO FEWER THAN ALL PROPERTIES
5.1 Absolute Net Lease; No Termination. The parties understand, acknowledge and agree that this is an absolute net lease and this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Base Rent and the payments of Additional Charges throughout the Term. Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that all charges, assessments or payments of any kind are due and payable without notice, demand, set off or counterclaim (other than notices to Lessee that are expressly required hereunder) and shall be paid by Lessee as they become due and payable. Lessee shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall neither take any action without the consent of Lessor to modify, surrender or terminate the same, nor seek nor be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent (except as expressly provided herein), or set-off against the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Lessor and Lessee be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to, or destruction of, any Property from whatever cause or any Taking of any Property or any portion thereof (except as expressly provided herein), (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Lessee’s use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference with such use by any person, corporation, partnership or other entity, or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim which Lessee has or might have against Lessor or by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Lessor under this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, or to which Lessor and Lessee are parties, (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor, or (e) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing other than a discharge of Lessee from any such obligations as a matter of law. Lessee hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law to (i) modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (ii) entitle Lessee to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. The obligations of Lessor and Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Lessee hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease other than by reason of an Event of Default.
27
5.2 Termination with Respect to Fewer than All Properties. Wherever in this Lease the action of terminating this Lease with respect to a particular Property (or action of similar import) is described or permitted, such action shall mean the termination of Lessee’s rights in and to such Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if this Lease shall be terminated by Lessor or Lessee pursuant to rights granted hereunder with respect to any particular Property, such termination shall not affect the Term of this Lease with respect to the balance of the Leased Property relating to Properties not so terminated and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to such portion of the Leased Property, except that (a) the total Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of Allocated Base Rent with respect to the Property as to which this Lease has been so terminated, (b) all references herein to Leased Property shall thereafter no longer include such terminated Property, (c) the terminated Property shall no longer be leased hereunder, and (d) provided that all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder with respect to such portion of the Leased Property (excluding unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full to Lessor, the relevant Facility Lessee shall no longer be a Facility Lessee hereunder or a party hereto with respect to such Property (and for the avoidance of doubt, if all Properties of a Facility Lessee shall have been so terminated, such Facility Lessee shall no longer be a Facility Lessee hereunder or a party hereto); subject, however, to Lessor’s right, in the event of any such termination because of an Event of Default, to recover damages with respect to any such terminated Property.
ARTICLE VI
OWNERSHIP OF LEASED PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
6.1 Ownership of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges that the Leased Property is the property of MPT Real Estate Owner (except that the Leased Improvements located on the Oklahoma Ground Leased Land will revert to the “Landlord” under the Oklahoma Ground Lease upon the expiration thereof), that MPT Real Estate Owner has leased the Leased Property to Lessor and that Lessee has only the right to the possession and use of the Leased Property as a sublessee of Lessor and upon and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, the Master Lease, the Oklahoma Ground Lease and the Existing Subleases.
6.2 Lessee’s Personal Property. Lessee, at its expense, shall install, affix, assemble and place on the Leased Property the Lessee’s Personal Property, which Lessee’s Personal Property shall be subject to any security interests and liens as provided in Section 16.6. Except for inventory or for removal because of damage, obsolescence, upgrade or replacement, Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that no Event of Default then exists), remove any of Lessee’s Personal Property from the Leased Property. Lessee shall provide and maintain during the entire Term all such Lessee’s Personal Property as shall be necessary to operate each Property in compliance in all material respects with all licensure and certification requirements, in
28
compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry for the Primary Intended Use. Following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any one or more of the Properties and subject to Lessor’s option to purchase such Lessee Personal Property as provided in Section 34.2, Lessee agrees that all of Lessee’s Personal Property relating to such one or more Properties (for which Lessor has authorized removal as provided above) not removed by Lessee within fifteen (15) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect thereto shall be considered abandoned by Lessee and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Lessor (at Lessee’s cost) with prior written notice thereof to Lessee, without any payment to Lessee and without any obligation to Lessee to account therefor. Lessee will, at its expense, restore the Leased Property and repair all damage to the Leased Property caused by the installation or removal of Lessee’s Personal Property, whether affected by Lessee, Lessor, any Lessee lender, or any Facility Lender, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or any Facility Lender.
ARTICLE VII

Lessee acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and that Lessee has examined and otherwise has acquired knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found the same to be in good order and repair and satisfactory for its purpose hereunder. Lessee is leasing the Leased Property “as is” and “where is” in its present condition. Lessee has not relied on any representation or warranty by Lessor and hereby waives any claim or action against Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased Property. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, SUITABILITY, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.1 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED, AND ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY WARRANTIES BY LESSOR, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR CREATED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WITH RESPECT TO THE CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY.
29
7.2 Use of the Leased Property. Each Property shall be operated as a licensed general acute care hospital facility and for such other legal ancillary uses as may be necessary in connection with or incidental to such uses and, in each case, subject to all covenants, restrictions, easements and all other matters of record (including those set forth in the Permitted Exceptions) relating to the applicable Property (collectively, the “Primary Intended Use”). Lessee shall comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and shall maintain all Licenses, including, but not limited to, Medicare and/or Medicaid certifications, provider numbers and agreements, certificates of need, governmental approvals, and full accreditation from all applicable governmental authorities, if any, that are necessary for the operation of Business with respect to the applicable Property consistent with the Primary Intended Use.

(b) No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property and no acts shall be done which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Leased Property or any part thereof, nor shall Lessee sell or otherwise provide to residents or patients therein, or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Leased Property any article which is prohibited by law or by the standard form of fire insurance policies, any other insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriters regulations. Lessee shall, at its sole cost, comply in all material respects with all of the requirements, covenants and restrictions pertaining to the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all of the Permitted Exceptions, and other requirements of any insurance board, association, organization or company necessary for the maintenance of the insurance, as herein provided, covering the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property.

(e) Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property or any portion thereof, including any Capital Addition whether or not funded by Lessor, or Lessee’s Personal Property, to be used in such a manner as (i) might reasonably tend to impair Lessor’s (or Lessee’s, as the case may be) title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (ii) may reasonably make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
30
(f) With respect to each Property, Lessor shall have the right and option to erect a sign on such Property stating that such Property is owned by MPT Real Estate Owner. Such sign shall be in a size, and shall be erected in a location acceptable to Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner and approved by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lessor shall be responsible for all costs related to such signage and complying with all Legal Requirements with respect to such signage.
7.3 Lessor to Grant Easements. From time to time during the Term, upon the request of Lessee, and so long as no Event of Default then exists, and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, Lessor may, in its reasonable discretion, subject to the terms of the Master Lease and the Oklahoma Ground Lease (if applicable), and at Lessee’s cost and expense, (a) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements, (b) release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Leased Property or any portion thereof; (c) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Leased Property for road, highway or other public purposes; (d) execute petitions to have the Leased Property or any portion thereof annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district; (e) execute amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof; and (f) execute and deliver to any person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and transfers (to the extent of its interest in the Leased Property), but only upon delivery to Lessor of such information as Lessor may reasonably require confirming that such grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is required for, and not materially detrimental to, the proper conduct of the Primary Intended Use on the Leased Property and does not reduce the value of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
ARTICLE VIII
LEGAL AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
8.1 Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements. Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee, at its expense, (a) shall comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements applicable to Lessee and the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Facilities and the Leased Property, whether or not compliance therewith shall require structural change in any of the Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property; (b) shall not use the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property for any unlawful purpose; (c) shall procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all Licenses and other governmental approvals and authorizations required for any use of the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property then being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any Capital Additions; and (d) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its rights under the Tenant Leases to cause all Tenants to acquire and maintain all licenses, certificates, permits, provider agreements and other authorizations and approvals necessary to operate in its customary manner any portion of the Leased Property subleased to them for the Primary Intended Uses and any other uses conducted on the Leased Property as may be permitted from time to time hereunder, it being
31
acknowledged by Lessor that any failure by any Tenant under this clause (d) shall not cause (or be deemed to cause) a breach by Lessee of this Section 8.1 unless Lessee has so failed to use commercially reasonable efforts. Lessee’s use of the Leased Property, the use of all Lessee’s Personal Property used in connection with the Leased Property, and the maintenance, alteration, and operation of the same, and all parts thereof, shall at all times conform in all material respects to all Legal Requirements. Upon Lessor’s request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all such Licenses and other approvals and authorizations. Lessee shall indemnify and defend, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and hold Lessor, MPT Real Estate Owner and their respective successors and assigns harmless from and against and agrees to reimburse Lessor, MPT Real Estate Owner and their respective successors and assigns with respect to any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by Lessor, MPT Real Estate Owner and their respective successors and assigns, at any time and from time to time by reason or arising out of any breach by Lessee of any of the provisions of this Article VIII or any breach or violation by Lessee of any Legal Requirements, including any and all such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses relating to immaterial violations or breaches of this Section 8.1, except to the extent arising solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or MPT Real Estate Owner.
8.2 Hazardous Materials. Lessee shall ensure that the Leased Property and the operation of the Business thereon complies in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws. Except for Hazardous Materials generated, used, installed, manufactured, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of in the normal course of business regarding the Primary Intended Use or the conduct of the Business (which Hazardous Materials shall be handled and disposed of in compliance in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws), Lessee shall not cause any Hazardous Materials to be installed, used, generated, manufactured, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of, or otherwise present in, on or under any Property or in connection with the conduct of the Business thereon in a manner that could result in a material violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws. Lessee shall take commercially reasonable precautions to ensure that no activity shall be undertaken on any Property or in connection with the operation of the Business thereon which would cause (a) any Property to become a treatment, storage or disposal facility of hazardous waste, infectious waste, biomedical or medical waste, within the meaning of, or otherwise bring such Property within the ambit of RCRA as a treatment, storage or disposal facility, (b) a release of Hazardous Materials from any Property within the meaning of, or otherwise bring such Property within the ambit of, and as would give rise to material liability under CERCLA or XXXX or any similar Hazardous Materials Laws, (c) the discharge of Hazardous Materials into any watercourse, surface or subsurface of body of water or wetland, or the discharge into the atmosphere of any Hazardous Materials, except as authorized under a permit under any Hazardous Materials Laws, in a manner that would give rise to a material liability under Hazardous Materials Laws, or (d) a material violation or a material claim under RCRA, CERCLA, XXXX or any Hazardous Materials Laws. Lessee shall, at its sole cost, expense, risk and liability, remove or cause to be removed from any
32

(a) Lessee, at its expense, will keep the Leased Property and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto (and Lessee’s Personal Property) in good first class order and repair (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee’s use, any prior use, the elements, the age of the Leased Property or any portion thereof) and, except as otherwise provided in Article XIV and Article XV, with reasonable promptness, will make all necessary and appropriate repairs thereto of every kind and nature whether interior or exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed or otherwise). All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably achievable, be at least equivalent in quality to the original work. Lessee will not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which is reasonably likely to materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any part thereof for the Primary Intended Use.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, from time to time Lessee may remodel, modify and make additions to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, which remodeling, modifications and additions are not Capital Additions (it being understood that Capital Additions are subject to the requirements of Article X hereof) but which are necessary or advisable for the Primary Intended Use and which permit Lessee to fully comply with its obligations as set forth in this Lease. Lessee shall undertake any such actions expeditiously and in a workmanlike manner and will not significantly alter the character or purpose, or detract from the value or operating efficiency of, the Leased Property nor significantly impair the revenue producing capability of the Leased Property nor adversely affect the ability of Lessee to comply with the provisions of this Lease.
(c) Lessee shall notify Lessor of any and all repairs, improvements, additions, modifications and remodeling made to any portion of a particular Property in excess of Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000) during any consecutive twelve (12) month period for the applicable Property and obtain consent from Lessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to making such repairs, improvements, additions, modifications or remodeling.
35
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Lessor shall not under any circumstances be required to build or rebuild any improvements on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations, or renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary or capital in nature, structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto in connection with this Lease, or to maintain the Leased Property in any way.
(e) Nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by Lessor shall be construed as (i) constituting the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor for the provision or performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof, or (ii) giving Lessee any right, power or permission to contract for, or permit the performance of, any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Lessor in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor in the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
(f) Unless MPT Real Estate Owner or Lessor conveys any of the Leased Property to Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Lessee will, upon the expiration or prior termination of the Term, vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in the condition in which the Leased Property was originally received from Lessor, except as improved, constructed, repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease and except for (i) ordinary wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Lessee to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair during the entire Term), (ii) damage caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, and (iii) damage or destruction as described in Article XIV or resulting from a Taking as described in Article XV, which Lessee is not required by the terms of this Lease to repair or restore.

(a) Beginning on the Initial Commencement Date and on each Reserve Payment Date thereafter during the Term, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor quarterly deposits with respect to each Facility in an amount equal to the product of (i) One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) (the “Dollar Amount”), multiplied by (ii) the number of beds placed in service or use at each such Facility as of the most recent Adjustment Date (collectively, the “Reserve”); provided, that the first such deposit on the Initial Commencement Date shall be for the period from the Initial Commencement Date through October 1, 2015 and shall be prorated based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year. The aggregate amount of the Reserve shall not exceed an amount equal to twelve (12) times the amount that was required to be paid on the most recent Adjustment Date
36
(the “Reserve Cap”) (and installments otherwise required under this Section 9.2(a) shall be reduced to the extent that the amount thereof plus the amount of the Reserve held by Lessor on the applicable Reserve Payment Date exceeds the Reserve Cap). For payments prior to the first Adjustment Date, the number of beds in service or in use at each such Facility shall be assumed to be the following: for the Oregon Facility, eighty-eight (88), for the Oklahoma Facility, three hundred twenty (320), and for the South Carolina Facility, one hundred sixteen (116), with the total beds placed in service or in use at all of the Facilities as of the Initial Commencement Date being five hundred twenty-four (524). On each Adjustment Date after the Initial Commencement Date, the number of beds shall be determined by the actual number of beds placed in service or certified to be available for use in connection with such Facilities as of such Adjustment Date, which shall not be reduced without the prior written consent of Lessor.
(b) The Reserve shall be held by Lessor in an interest bearing account for the purpose of making Major Repairs to the applicable portions of the Leased Property. Lessor shall advance to or reimburse Lessee for Major Repairs, limited to the amount of the Reserve, upon Lessor’s receipt from Lessee of documentation of such costs that is sufficient in Lessor’s reasonable judgment. Beginning on January 1, 2017 and on each Adjustment Date thereafter during the Term, the applicable Dollar Amount shall be increased by the greater of (i) Two Percent (2.0%) of the prior year’s applicable Dollar Amount, and (ii) the percentage by which the CPI published for the month of October prior to the applicable Adjustment Date shall have increased over the CPI figure published for the month of October prior to the previous Adjustment Date (the CPI figure published for the month of October 2015 shall be used in connection with the recalculation on January 1, 2017); provided, however, that in no event shall such increase be more than Four Percent (4.0%) on any Adjustment Date. The amounts in the Reserve shall be used as described above to pay for Major Repairs, or, in the event Lessee fails to make any required non-Major Repairs hereunder, Lessor may use funds in the Reserve for that purpose.
(c) Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a first priority security interest in all monies deposited into the Reserve. At Lessor’s request, Lessee shall, as soon as practicable, execute all documents necessary to effect such security interest in all monies deposited into the Reserve. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and no event has then occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, any amounts remaining in the Reserve at the expiration of this Lease shall be returned to Lessee; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred, or any event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, Lessor may retain all amounts remaining in the Reserve and shall apply such amounts to any damages incurred by Lessor or used to pay outstanding Obligations.

Lessee shall cause the Completion of the Required Capital Addition in compliance in all material respects with applicable Legal Requirements and Healthcare Laws and the terms of this Lease, no later than the Required Completion Date (as defined on Schedule 10.1), unless Lessor and Lessee shall mutually agree in writing to another completion date with respect thereto.

10.2 Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property.
(a) If no Event of Default has occurred, and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, and be continuing, Lessee shall have the right, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to construct or install Capital Additions on any Property with the prior written consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that Lessor has approved the Required Capital Additions). Lessee shall not be permitted to create any Lien on such Property in connection with such Capital Addition, except as provided in Section 10.3. In order to obtain Lessor’s prior written consent, Lessee shall submit to Lessor in writing a proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any such proposed Capital Addition. In addition, Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessor such additional information relating to such proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably request. Lessor shall have ten (10) days following receipt of the last information so requested relating to the proposed Capital Addition to respond whether Lessor has approved of such proposed Capital Addition, it being agreed that failure to timely respond shall be deemed a rejection of the proposed Capital Addition.
(b) Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition, Lessee shall first request Lessor to provide funds to pay for such Capital Addition in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4 (it being understood that Lessor has agreed to fund the Required Capital Additions in accordance with Section 10.1). If Lessor declines or is unable to provide such funding, the provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, no Capital Additions shall be made without the consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion, if the proposed Capital Addition would, in the reasonable judgment of Lessor, materially diminish the value of such Property. Furthermore, no Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any portion of a particular Property and/or any Leased Improvements thereon with any other improvements on property adjacent to such Property (and not part of the Land covered by this Lease) including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities, unless Lessee shall have obtained the prior written approval of Lessor, which approval may be granted or withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion. As to all other Capital Additions which are not described in the
38
immediately preceding two sentences, Lessor’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All proposed Capital Additions shall be architecturally integrated and consistent with the applicable Property as determined in the reasonable discretion of Lessor.
10.3 Capital Additions Financed by Lessee. If Lessee provides or arranges to finance any Capital Addition (except for Capital Additions arranged by Lessee but funded by Lessor), this Lease shall be and hereby is amended to provide as follows:
(a) There shall be no adjustment in the Base Rent by reason of any such Capital Addition.
(b) Such Capital Addition shall revert to, and become the property of MPT Real Estate Owner upon the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to the applicable Property (unless Lessee purchases such Property as provided herein).
In connection with any such Capital Addition financed by Lessee, Lessee shall be permitted to place a Lien on such Capital Addition as collateral for Lessee’s financing, provided, that, in the reasonable determination of Lessor such Lien shall not materially interfere with Lessor’s ability to finance the applicable Property; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate in good faith to properly divide such Capital Addition from the applicable Property and to grant such easements and use restrictions as shall be necessary to avoid any disruption of Lessee’s Business on such Property; (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 10.3, such Capital Addition shall remain subject to the other terms and provisions of this Lease; and (ii) upon the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to such Property (unless Lessee purchases such Property as provided in Articles XIV, XV or XXXIV), Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause all such Lien(s) to be released from such Capital Addition and within ten (10) Business Days after such expiration or termination.
10.4 Capital Additions Funded by Lessor. If Lessee desires for Lessor to fund a Capital Addition, Lessee shall request the same by submitting to Lessor a written request, including a written proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any such proposed Capital Addition (a “Request”) (it being understood that Lessor has agreed to fund the Required Capital Additions in accordance with Section 10.1). In addition, Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessor such additional information relating to such proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably request. Lessor shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the last of the information so requested to respond to Lessee as to whether Lessor will fund the proposed Capital Addition, including the proposed terms thereof and the terms of any amendments to this Lease to be executed in connection therewith; it being agreed that Lessor’s failure to timely respond shall be deemed a rejection of the Request to provide the funding for such proposed Capital Addition. Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide the funds necessary to meet the Request.
10.5 Salvage. All materials that are scrapped or removed in connection with the making of either Capital Additions or repairs hereunder shall be or become the property of Lessee, and Lessee shall remove the same at its sole cost and expense.

(vii) Umbrella liability insurance in the minimum amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for each occurrence and aggregate combined single limit for all liability. The umbrella shall follow form with the primary commercial general liability with respect to providing primary and non-contributory coverage to Lessor as an additional insured when required by written contract or agreement. The umbrella liability policy shall name in its underlying schedule the policies of commercial general liability, automobile/vehicle liability, professional liability and employer’s liability under the workers compensation policy.
(viii) Professional liability insurance for Lessee and all employed professionals (including any physicians) in an amount, with respect to each Facility, of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per individual claim and Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) annual aggregate. All contractors, agents and other persons (including physicians) who perform professional services for Lessee shall meet such required minimum insurance requirements of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per individual claim and Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) annual aggregate.
(ix) Employee Dishonesty coverage covering all employees with a limit of insurance, with respect to each Facility, of not less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) per claim.
The term “Full Replacement Cost” as used herein, shall mean the actual replacement cost thereof from time to time (not to be less than the aggregate amount of the Option Prices) as to the Leased Property in its entirety, including increased cost of construction endorsement, less exclusions provided in the normal fire insurance policy. In the event either Lessor or Lessee believes that the Full Replacement Cost has increased or decreased at any time during the Term, it shall have the right to have such Full Replacement Cost re-determined by an impartial third party, hereinafter referred to as the “Impartial Appraiser.” If the Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the selection of an Impartial Appraiser, each party shall select one appraiser, and the two appraisers so selected shall jointly select the Impartial Appraiser. The party desiring to have the Full Replacement Cost so re-determined shall forthwith, on receipt of such determination by such Impartial Appraiser, give written notice thereof to the other party. The determination of such Impartial Appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties, and Lessee shall forthwith increase, or may decrease, the amount of the insurance carried pursuant to this Article XIII, as the case may be, to the amount so determined by the Impartial Appraiser. Lessee shall pay the fee, if any, of the Impartial Appraiser.

(b) Intentionally Omitted.
13.2 Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above, Lessee shall at all times maintain adequate worker’s compensation insurance coverage for all persons employed by Lessee on the Leased Property, to the extent required by all applicable local, state and federal laws. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lessor shall not be prohibited, at its sole cost and expense, from purchasing and maintaining such additional insurance as it may reasonably determine to be necessary to protect its interest in all or any portion of the Leased Property.
13.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee hereby waives any and all rights of recovery against Lessor, its officers, agents and employees, for all injury, loss of or damage to persons or property, howsoever caused, including loss of use, to the extent such injury, loss or damage is covered or should be covered by required insurance or any other insurance maintained by Lessee, including sums within deductibles, retentions or self-insurance applicable thereto. This waiver applies to all first party property, business interruption, equipment, vehicle and workers compensation claims (unless prohibited under applicable state statutes), as well as third party liability claims. This waiver shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to loss of, or damage to, property of the parties hereto. In as much as the above waiver precludes the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation to an insurance company, Lessee agrees to give to each insurance company providing coverage under this Lease prompt written notice of the terms of said waiver, and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against any loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from the failure to obtain such waiver from the insurer, if required.
13.4 Form of Insurance. All of the policies of insurance referred to herein shall be written in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and by insurance companies reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall pay all of the premiums therefor (except as otherwise provided herein), and shall deliver “verification” of insurance to Lessor as set forth below. All binders and policies delivered to Lessor as required in this Section 13.4 shall also include a statement of insured values and locations for all properties under such blanket policies that share coverage limits. Verification of insurance as used herein is defined as follows:
(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Commencement Date, and thereafter, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to any insurance policy expiration date, Lessee shall provide verification of required insurance coverage for the following year which shall include the following:
(i) an XXXXX 75 insurance binder, or similar type of insurance binder acceptable to Lessor, for each policy providing evidence of insurance coverage of the types and in the amounts required hereunder and naming Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner (and any other entity that Lessor may deem reasonably necessary) as additional
45
insureds and loss payees with respect to property, rental value and business interruption insurance, naming Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner (and any other entity that Lessor may deem reasonably necessary) as named insureds with respect to commercial general liability, professional liability and excess or umbrella insurance, and naming Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner (and any other entity that Lessor may deem reasonably necessary) as additional insureds with respect to all other required policies, together with a sample or pro forma of each policy (if required by Lessor), together with written confirmation of each insurer’s obligation to provide notice of cancellation or non-renewal of each;
(ii) a copy of property statement of values if Lessee maintains blanket insurance covering facilities other than the Leased Property; and
(iii) a summary of insurance program showing significant coverage limits, sublimits, deductibles and retentions.
(b) Thereafter, no later than the date that is sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date and any such insurance policy expiration date, Lessee shall provide further verification of insurance, which verification shall include (i) true and certified copies of the required insurance policies including blanket or specific endorsements reflecting the appropriate status of Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner as additional insureds, loss payees and/or named insureds, as the case may be, and providing notice of cancellation or non-renewal under the required insurance; and (ii) a copy of the property statement of values if Lessee maintains blanket insurance covering facilities other than the Leased Property.
(c) In the event Lessee does not provide timely or proper verification, or does not maintain the insurance required hereunder or pay the premiums as required hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled after notice to Lessee, but shall have no obligation, to obtain such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which premiums shall be repayable to Lessor promptly following request by Lessor (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after delivery of such request), and failure to adhere to those repayment provisions shall constitute an Event of Default. Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any insurance policies, endorsements and/or binders or certificates to omit language that provides such insurer will “endeavor to” give notice before same may be altered, allowed to expire, or canceled. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all policies of insurance required to be obtained by Lessee hereunder shall provide (i) that such policies will not lapse, terminate, be canceled, or be amended or modified to reduce limits or coverage terms unless and until Lessor has received not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice at Lessor’s notice address as specified in this Lease (the “Lessor’s Notice Address”), with a simultaneous copy to (A) MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., Attention: Its President, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (B) XxXxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, Inc., Attention: Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, 0000 0xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (ii) that in the event of cancellation due to non-payment of premium, the insurer will provide not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lessor at Lessor’s Notice Address, with a simultaneous copy to (A) MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., Attention: Its President, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and (B) XxXxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, Inc., Attention: Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, 0000 0xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000.
46
13.5 Increase in Limits. In the event that Lessor shall at any time in its reasonable discretion deem the limits of the personal injury, property damage or general public liability insurance then carried to be insufficient, the parties shall endeavor to agree on the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried and such insurance shall thereafter be carried with the limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.5. If the parties shall be unable to agree thereon, the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried shall be determined by an impartial third party selected by the parties.
13.6 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIII, Lessee’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Lessee provided that:
(a) Any such blanket policy or policies are acceptable to and have been approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(b) Any such blanket policy or policies shall not be changed, altered or modified without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and
(c) Any such blanket policy or policies shall otherwise satisfy the insurance requirements of this Article XIII (including the requirement of thirty (30) days’ written notice before the expiration or cancellation of such policies as required by Section 13.4) and shall provide for deductibles in amounts acceptable to Lessor. Any aggregate policy limits within such blanket insurance policies shall apply separately to each Property.
13.7 No Separate Insurance. Lessee shall not, on Lessee’s own initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any third party, take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Article XIII to be furnished by, or which may reasonably be required to be furnished by, Lessee, or increase the amounts of any then existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including in all cases Lessor and all Facility Lenders, are included therein as additional insureds and the loss is payable under said insurance in the same manner as losses are required to be payable under this Lease. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of the taking out of any such separate insurance or of the increasing of any of the amounts of the then existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies.
47
13.8 Insurance Required under Oklahoma Ground Lease. Lessee shall obtain and maintain all insurance required to be maintained by the tenant pursuant to the Oklahoma Ground Lease and provide Lessor with evidence of same.
ARTICLE XIV
FIRE AND CASUALTY
14.1 Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance required by Article XIII shall be paid to Lessor and held by Lessor in trust (subject to the provisions of Section 14.7) and shall be made available for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and shall be paid out by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable cost of such reconstruction or repair. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof (or in the event neither Lessor nor Lessee is required or elects to repair and restore, all such insurance proceeds), shall be retained by Lessor free and clear upon completion of any such repair and restoration except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Lessor except that any salvage relating to Capital Additions paid for by Lessee as described in Section 10.2 or to Lessee’s Personal Property shall belong to Lessee as provided in Section 10.4.
14.2 Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Covered by Insurance.
(a) Except as provided in Section 14.7, with respect to any Property, if during the Term such Property is totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article XIII and such Property is thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use (the “Casualty Impacted Property”), Lessee shall elect, by giving written notice to Lessor within sixty (60) days following the date of such destruction, one of the following: (i) to restore such Casualty Impacted Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction, or (ii) so long as no Major Event of Default then exists, to purchase such Casualty Impacted Property from Lessor for the applicable Option Price, in which case all insurance proceeds payable pursuant to Section 14.1 with respect to the Casualty Impacted Property shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee and, the total Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2, or (iii) so long as the damage or destruction was not caused by the gross negligence of Lessee, its agents, servants, employees or contractors, to terminate this Lease with respect to the Casualty Impacted Property and, in this event, the total Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2, Lessor shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand, the amount of any deductible or uninsured loss arising in connection therewith. In the event Lessee purchases such Casualty Impacted Property pursuant to this Section 14.2(a), the terms set forth in Article XVIII shall apply and the sale/purchase must be closed within ninety (90) days after the date of the written notice from Lessee to Lessor of Lessee’s intent to purchase, unless a different closing date is agreed upon in writing by Lessor and Lessee. For purposes of
48
any appraisal conducted in accordance with this Section, such appraisal shall not take into account the damage or destruction giving rise to Lessee’s rights hereunder. The “Option Price” for each Property shall be shall be an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value Purchase Price of such Property and (B) the Lease Base for such Property, as increased by an amount equal to the annual rate of increase in the CPI on each Adjustment Date.
(b) Except as provided in Section 14.7, with respect to any Property, if, during the Term, such Property is totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article XIII, but such Property is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall restore such Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction. Such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease with respect to such Property; provided, however, if Lessor determines in its reasonable discretion that Lessee cannot within a reasonable time obtain all necessary governmental approvals, including building permits, licenses, conditional use permits and any certificates of need, after good-faith, diligent efforts to do so, in order to be able to perform all required repair and restoration work and to operate such Property for its Primary Intended Use in substantially the same manner as immediately prior to such damage or destruction, so long as no Major Event of Default then exists, Lessee shall have the option, by giving written notice to Lessor within sixty (60) days following the date of such damage or destruction, to purchase such Property for a purchase price equal to the applicable Option Price (less the amount of any insurance proceeds held by Lessor). In the event Lessee purchases such Property pursuant to this Section 14.2(b), the terms set forth in Article XVIII shall apply and the sale/purchase must be closed within ninety (90) days after the date of the written notice from Lessee to Lessor of Lessee’s intent to purchase, unless a different closing date is agreed upon in writing by Lessor and Lessee.
(c) With respect to each Property, if the cost of the repair or restoration of such Property exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Lessor, Lessee shall be obligated to contribute any excess amount needed to restore such Property prior to use of the insurance proceeds. Such amount shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor (or a Facility Lender if required) to be held in trust together with any other insurance proceeds for application to the cost of repair and restoration.
(d) With respect to each Property, in the event Lessee elects to purchase such Property pursuant to this Section 14.2, this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Property upon payment of the purchase price and transfer of title to such Property to Lessee, the Base Rent shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2, and Lessor shall transfer to Lessee its rights in or remit to Lessee all insurance proceeds being held in trust by Lessor or the Facility Lender on or prior to the closing of Lessee’s purchase of such Property.
14.3 Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Not Covered by Insurance. Except as provided in Section 14.7 and without limiting Section 14.2, if during the Term a Property is totally or partially damaged or destroyed from a risk not covered by the insurance described in Article XIII but that would have been covered if Lessee carried the insurance
49
customarily maintained by, and generally available to, the operators of reputable health care facilities in the region in which such Property is located, then, whether or not such damage or destruction renders such Property Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore such Property to substantially the same condition it was in immediately before such damage or destruction and such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease with respect to such Property.
14.4 Lessee’s Personal Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any Lessee’s Personal Property or any Capital Addition financed by Lessee shall be paid to Lessee to pay the cost of repairing or replacing the damage to Lessee’s Personal Property or the Capital Additions financed by Lessee.
14.5 Restoration of Lessee’s Property. If Lessee is required or elects to restore any Property as provided in Sections 14.2 or 14.3, Lessee shall also restore all alterations and improvements made to Lessee’s Personal Property with respect thereto and all Capital Additions paid for by Lessee with respect thereto.
14.6 No Abatement of Rent. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent and all other charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period required for repair and restoration.
14.7 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Sections 14.2 (but without limiting Lessee’s rights under Section 14.2(a)) or 14.3 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of any Property occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term, and if such damage or destruction cannot be fully repaired and restored within six (6) months immediately following the date of such loss as determined in Lessor’s reasonable discretion, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease with respect to such Property by giving notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of damage or destruction, in which event Lessor shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand the amount of any deductible or uninsured loss arising in connection therewith; provided, however, that any such notice given by Lessor shall be void and of no force and effect if Lessee exercises an available option to extend the Term for one (1) Extended Term within thirty (30) days following receipt of such termination notice.
14.8 Termination of Right to Purchase. Any termination of this Lease with respect to a Property pursuant to this Article XIV shall cause any right to purchase granted to Lessee with respect to such Property under any other provisions of this Lease to be terminated and to be without further force and effect.
14.9 Waiver. Lessee hereby waives any statutory or common law rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage to or destruction of any portion of the Leased Property.
50
ARTICLE XV
CONDEMNATION
15.1 Parties’ Rights and Obligations. If during the Term there is any Taking of all or any part of a Property or any interest in this Lease relating to such Property by Condemnation, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined by this Article XV.
15.2 Total Taking. If there is a Taking of all of a Property by Condemnation, this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Property on the Date of Taking.
15.3 Partial Taking. If there is a Taking of a part, but not all, of a Property by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect with respect to such Property if such Property is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use. If, however, such portion of such Property is thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall either (a) restore such portion of such Property, at its own expense and to the extent possible, to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the partial Taking, (b) so long as no Major Event of Default then exists, acquire such Property from Lessor for a purchase price equal to the applicable Option Price (in which event this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Property upon payment of such Option Price and the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2), or (c) terminate this Lease with respect to such Property (in which event the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.2). Lessee shall exercise its option by giving Lessor notice thereof within sixty (60) days after Lessee receives notice of the Taking. In the event Lessee exercises the option to purchase with respect to such Property pursuant to this Section 15.3, the terms set forth in Article XVIII shall apply and the sale/purchase must be closed within thirty (30) days after the date of the written notice from Lessee to Lessor of Lessee’s intent to purchase, unless a different closing date is agreed upon in writing by Lessor and Lessee. For purposes of any appraisal conducted in accordance with this Section 15.3, such appraisal of the Fair Market Value shall not take into account the Taking giving rise to Lessee’s rights hereunder.
15.4 Award Distribution. In the event Lessee exercises the purchase option with respect to a particular Property as described in Section 15.3(b), the entire Award shall belong to Lessee so long as no Major Event of Default then exists, and Lessor agrees to assign to Lessee all of its rights to the Award. In any other event, the entire Award shall belong to and be paid to Lessor; provided, however, that if this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article XV with respect to such Property, Lessee shall be entitled to receive a sum attributable to Lessee’s Personal Property relating thereto and any reasonable removal and relocation costs, provided in each case the Award specifically includes such items. If Lessee is required or elects to restore such Property, Lessor agrees that the Award shall be used for that restoration, and it shall hold such portion of the Award in trust for application to the cost of the restoration. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, any Award retained by Lessor and not used for restoration shall be credited against the applicable Option Price.
51
15.5 Temporary Taking. The Taking of any Property or any part thereof by military or other public authority shall constitute a Taking by Condemnation only when the use and occupancy by the Taking authority has continued for longer than six (6) months. During any such six (6)-month period all the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the Rent with respect to such Property shall not be abated or reduced during such period of Taking.
ARTICLE XVI

16.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (individually, an “Event of Default”) shall constitute Events of Default hereunder:
(a) if Lessee shall fail to make a payment of the Rent or any other monetary obligation when the same becomes due and payable by Lessee under this Lease (including, but not limited to, any failure to make Reserve deposits and the failure to pay Insurance Premiums or Impositions) and the same shall remain unpaid for more than five (5) days following receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor; provided however, in no event shall Lessor be required to give more than two (2) such written notices hereunder during any consecutive twelve (12) month period; or
(b) if Lessee shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect (without duplication of any materiality qualifier herein) any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and such failure is not cured by Lessee within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor (except that in the event Lessee shall fail to comply with any request pursuant to Sections 38.3 and 38.4 hereof, and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after receipt by Lessee of such request from Lessor), unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days (in Lessor’s reasonable discretion), in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue so long as Lessee commences to cure such failure within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds with due diligence to complete the curing thereof within sixty (60) days after receipt by Lessee of Lessor’s notice of default (or such longer period as is reasonably required in the determination of Lessor to effect such cure if Lessee is diligently proceeding to do so); provided however, in no event shall Lessor be required to give more than two (2) notices and cure period for Lessee’s failure to observe or perform the same (or repetitive) covenant or condition in any consecutive twelve (12) month period; or
(c) if (i) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or (ii) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall file a petition in bankruptcy as a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act; or (iii) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall be declared insolvent according to any law; or (iv) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall make any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) if the estate or interest of any Facility Lessee in the Leased Property or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of ninety (90) days after commencement thereof or sixty (60) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor (unless Lessee shall be contesting such lien or attachment in
52
good faith in accordance with Article XII); or (vi) any petition shall be filed against any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor to declare such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor bankrupt, to take advantage of any insolvency act, or to delay, reduce or modify such Facility Lessee’s or such Guarantor’s capital structure and the same shall not be removed or vacated within ninety (90) days from the date of its creation, service or attachment; or (vii) any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor shall, after a petition in bankruptcy is filed against it, be adjudicated a bankrupt, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order or decree, with or without the consent of such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor, as the case may be, appointing a trustee, examiner or receiver of such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor or the whole or substantially all of its property, or approving a petition filed against such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor seeking reorganization or arrangement of such Facility Lessee or such Guarantor under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof, and such judgment, order or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within ninety (90) days from the date of the entry thereof; or
(d) if any Facility Lessee shall have any of its Licenses (as defined in Article XXXVIII) or participation or certification in Medicare or Medicaid or any material other third party payor program is terminated by the applicable government program for fraud or violation of the terms of such program; or
(e) a Change of Control Transaction shall occur with respect to any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor which is not approved by Lessor in advance;

(g) if any Facility Lessee or any of the Guarantors shall be liquidated or dissolved, or shall begin proceedings toward such liquidation or dissolution, or shall, in any manner, permit the sale or divestiture of substantially all of its assets, or any such Facility Lessee or any such Guarantor shall enter into an agreement respecting same; or
(h) if an “Event of Default” shall occur under and as defined in the Real Estate Loan Agreement or a monetary default or a material non-monetary default shall occur under any other Obligation Document (other than this Lease) which is not waived in writing or cured within the cure period as provided therein; or
(i) if any default or event of default shall occur under the Oklahoma Ground Lease which is not waived in writing or cured within the applicable cure period as provided therein; or
(j) if a default or event of default occurs with respect to any Material Obligation of any Facility Lessee or any Guarantor and such default or event of default is not waived in writing or cured within the applicable cure period provided by the document evidencing the Material Obligation; or
53
(k) if a monetary or a material non-monetary default shall occur under the LLC Agreement and such failure is not cured or waived in writing within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor, unless, with respect to any material non-monetary default, such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days (in Lessor’s reasonable discretion), in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue so long as a cure is commenced within the thirty (30) day period and such cure is diligently pursued to completion within sixty (60) days after receipt by Lessee of Lessor’s notice of default (or such longer period as is reasonably required in the determination of Lessor to effect such cure if such cure is being diligently pursued); provided however, in no event shall Lessor be required to give more than two (2) notices and cure periods for failures to observe or perform the same (or repetitive) covenant or condition in any consecutive twelve (12) month period; or
(l) if, at any time during the Term, for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters:

(ii) EBITDAR shall be less than One Hundred Five Percent (105%) of Consolidated Fixed Charges (as determined utilizing the trailing twelve (12) month operating and financial results of Capella Holdings and its subsidiaries and measured on a calendar quarterly basis).
With respect to Section 16.1(l)(i) and (ii) above, it is understood and agreed that Lessor and Lessee agree to work together in good faith to adjust such covenants after the Initial Commencement Date to reflect future acquisitions of real property joined under this Lease or securing the obligations under the Loan Agreement.
If an Event of Default has occurred, Lessor shall have the right at its election, then or at any time thereafter, to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, in addition to any remedies which may be permitted by law, by other provisions of this Lease or otherwise, without notice or demand, except as hereinafter provided:
A. If Lessee deserts, abandons or vacates any Property (the “Vacated Property”), Lessor may enter upon and take possession of either (i) the Vacated Property; or (ii) if there has occurred a Major Event of Default, any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Properties, regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated from or related primarily to a single Property (whether one or more, and whether pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), the “Entered Property”), to protect it from deterioration and continue to demand from Lessee Rent and other charges as provided in this Lease, without any obligation to relet (except to the extent required
54
by applicable law); but if Lessor does relet the Entered Property (on such terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall deem reasonable), such action by Lessor shall not be deemed an acceptance of Lessee’s surrender of the Entered Property unless Lessor expressly notifies Lessee of such acceptance in writing, Lessee hereby acknowledging that Lessor shall otherwise be reletting as Lessee’s agent and Lessee furthermore hereby agreeing to pay to Lessor on demand any deficiency that may arise between the Rent and other charges as provided in this Lease and that are actually collected by Lessor relating to the Entered Property.
X. Xxxxxx, or anyone acting on Lessor’s behalf, may without notice or demand to Lessee, either (i) enter the Property from which such Event of Default emanated or to which such Event of Default related primarily; or (ii) if there has occurred a Major Event of Default, enter any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Properties, regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated from or related primarily to a single Property (whether one or more, and whether pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), the “Defaulted Property”), by force, if necessary, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations without liability to action for prosecution or damages for such entry or for the manner thereof, and do whatever Lessee is obligated or permitted to do under this Lease. Lessee hereby releases and discharges Lessor and its agents from all claims, actions, suits, damages and penalties for or by reason of any such entry. Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor on demand for all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, that Lessor may incur in effecting compliance with Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, and Lessee further agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Lessee from such action.
X. Xxxxxx may immediately terminate Lessee’s right of possession of the Defaulted Property, but not terminate this Lease with respect to the Defaulted Property, and without notice or demand, except as may be required by applicable law, enter upon such Defaulted Property or any part thereof and take absolute possession of the same, and at Lessor’s sole option may relet such Defaulted Property or any part thereof for such terms and such rents as Lessor may reasonably elect. In the event of such reletting, the rent received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 16.4, and Lessee shall satisfy and pay any deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time. Any entry into and possession of the Defaulted Property by Lessor shall be without liability or responsibility to Lessee and shall not be in lieu of or in substitution for any other legal rights of Lessor hereunder. Lessee further agrees that Lessor may file suit to recover any sums due under the terms of this Lease and that no recovery of any portion due Lessor hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought by Lessor for any other amounts not reduced to judgment in favor of Lessor. Reletting any portion of the Defaulted Property relating to any one or more of the Properties shall not be construed as an election on the part of Lessor to terminate this Lease with respect to such Defaulted Property and, notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for default with respect to the Defaulted Property.
X. Xxxxxx may terminate this Lease with respect to the Defaulted Property (whether one or more, the “Terminated Property”), by written notice to Lessee, in which event Lessee
55
shall immediately surrender to Lessor such Terminated Property, and if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession or arrearages in Rent or any other payments under this Lease (including any interest and payment penalty which may have accrued pursuant to the terms of this Lease), enter upon and take possession of such Terminated Property and expel or remove the applicable Facility Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying such Terminated Property or any part thereof, by force, if necessary, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor. Except as otherwise may be required by applicable law or as otherwise expressly required under this Lease, Lessee hereby waives any statutory requirement of prior written notice for filing eviction or damage suits for nonpayment of Rent or any other payments under this Lease. In addition, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Lessor may suffer by reason of any termination effected pursuant to this Section 16.1D, which loss and damage shall be determined, at Lessor’s option, by either of the following alternative measures of damages:
(i) Until Lessor is able to relet such Terminated Property, although Lessor shall be under no obligation to attempt to do so (unless required by applicable law), Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on or before the first day of each calendar month, the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this Lease relating to such Terminated Property. After such Terminated Property has been relet by Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month the difference between the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this Lease related to such Terminated Property for the preceding calendar month (had this Lease not been terminated) and those actually collected by Lessor with respect to such reletting for that month. If it is necessary for Lessor to bring suit to collect any deficiency, Lessor shall have the right to allow such deficiencies to accumulate and to bring an action on several or all of the accrued deficiencies at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in any way the right of Lessor to bring a similar action for any subsequent deficiency or deficiencies. Any amount collected by Lessor from subsequent Tenants related to such Terminated Property for any calendar month in excess of the monthly Rent (including Additional Charges) herein allocated to such Terminated Property had this Lease not been terminated with respect thereto shall be credited to Lessee in reduction of Lessee’s liability for any calendar month for which the amount collected by Lessor will be less than the monthly Rent (including Additional Charges) herein allocated to such Terminated Property had this Lease not been terminated with respect thereto such Terminated Facility, but Lessee shall have no right to any excess other than the above described credit.
(ii) When Lessor desires, Lessor may demand a final settlement with respect to such Terminated Property. Upon demand for a final settlement, Lessor shall have a right to, and Lessee hereby agrees to pay, the difference between the total of all monthly Rent (including Additional Charges) allocated to such Terminated Property for the remainder of the Term and the reasonable rental value thereof for such period, with such difference to be discounted to present value at a rate equal to the 5-Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus Two Percent (2%) per annum in effect upon the date of determination.
56
If Lessor elects to exercise the remedies prescribed in subsections A or B above, this election shall in no way prejudice Lessor’s right at any time thereafter to cancel said election in favor of the remedy prescribed in subsection D or elsewhere in this Lease. Similarly, if Lessor elects to compute damages in the manner prescribed by subsection D(i) above, this election shall in no way prejudice Lessor’s right at any time thereafter to demand a final settlement in accordance with subsection D(ii). Pursuit of any of the above remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedies prescribed in other sections of this Lease and any other remedies provided by law or equity. Forbearance by Lessor to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
E. In the event that Lessor has either repossessed a Vacated Property pursuant to subsection A, repossessed a Defaulted Property pursuant to subsection C, or terminated this Lease with respect to one or more (or all, if so elected by Lessor) Defaulted Properties pursuant to subsection D, and Lessor elects to enter upon such portion of the Leased Property as provided herein, Lessor may change, alter, and/or modify the door locks on all entry doors of such portion of the Leased Property, thereby permanently excluding Lessee and its officers, principals, agents, employees, representatives and invitees therefrom. Lessor shall not thereafter be obligated to provide Lessee with a key to such portion of Leased Property at any time, regardless of any amounts subsequently paid by Lessee; provided, however, that in any such instance, during Lessor’s normal business hours and at the convenience of Lessor, and upon receipt of written request from Lessee accompanied by such written waivers and releases as Lessor may reasonably require, Lessor may either (at Lessor’s option) (1) escort Lessee or its authorized personnel to such Leased Property to retrieve any personal belonging or other property of Lessee not subject to any applicable Lessor’s lien or security interest, or Lessor’s right of purchase as provided in Section 34.2, or (2) obtain a list from Lessee of such personal property not subject to any applicable Lessor’s lien or security interest that Lessor intends to remove, whereupon Lessor shall remove such property and make it available to Lessee at a time and place designated by Lessor. However, if Lessor elects option (2), Lessee shall pay, in cash in advance, all reasonable costs and expenses estimated by Lessor to be incurred in removing such property and making it available to Lessee and all moving and/or storage charges theretofore incurred by Lessor with respect to such property (plus an additional Seven Percent (7%) thereof to cover Lessor’s administrative costs). If Lessor elects to exclude Lessee from any Defaulted Property (or all of the Defaulted Properties if so elected by Lessor) without repossessing or terminating pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Lease, then Lessor shall not be obligated to provide Lessee a key to re-enter such Property or Properties until such time as all delinquent Rent has been paid in full and all other defaults, if any, have been completely cured to Lessor’s satisfaction (if such cure occurs prior to any actual repossession or termination), and Lessor has been given assurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor evidencing Lessee’s ability to satisfy its remaining obligations under this Lease. To the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provision shall override and control any conflicting provisions of any applicable statute governing the right of a lessor to change the door locks of commercial leases.
F. In addition to any other available remedies, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option and in accordance with the Subordination of Management Agreement and/or the Collateral Assignment, require Lessee to cancel the Management Agreement with respect to any one or more of the Facilities and to replace the Management Company managing any such one or more Facilities with a company acceptable to Lessor.
57
G. In addition to any other available remedies, at Lessor’s option, with respect to each Defaulted Property or Entered Property, Lessor shall have those rights (i) to purchase Lessee’s Personal Property in the manner provided in Section 34.2 hereof and (ii) to effect a transfer of the Licenses pursuant to the terms of Article XXXVIII hereof.
H. If this Lease or any part hereof is assigned, or if the Leased Property, or any part thereof is relet, Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lessor as Lessee’s agent to collect the rents and all other sums due by such assignee or Tenant and apply the same to the Rent due hereunder without in any way affecting Lessee’s obligation to pay any unpaid balance of Rent due hereunder.
I. Proceed as a secured party under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code against the goods and other personal property related to the Entered Property or the Defaulted Property, including Lessee’s Personal Property located on such Entered Property or such Defaulted Property, in which Lessor has a security interest.
J. Exercise any and all other rights and/or remedies granted or allowed to landlords by any existing or future statute or other law of the applicable State where the Entered Property or the Defaulted Property, as applicable, is located.
K. In the event, and only in the event, that applicable law requires Lessor to attempt to mitigate damages following the termination of Lessee’s rights under this Lease with respect to any one or more of the Properties as provided in subsection D(i) above, Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to the extent required by applicable law to relet such Property or Properties on such terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole good faith judgment, may determine (including, without limitation, a lease term different than the Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair any such Property); provided, however, that, with respect to any such Property or Properties (i) Lessor shall not be obligated to relet such Property before leasing other vacant space owned or operated by Lessor, (ii) Lessor reserves the right to refuse to lease such Property to any potential tenant that does not meet Lessor’s reasonable standards and criteria for leasing any other comparable space owned or operated by Lessor (it being understood and agreed that it shall be deemed reasonable for Lessor to refuse to lease to a prospective tenant who owns, leases or operates a business similar to that conducted on such Property in the County where such Property is located), and (iii) Lessor shall not be obligated to undertake any greater efforts to relet such portion of the Leased Property than Lessor utilizes to lease any other vacant space owned or operated by Lessor. In any proceeding in which Lessor’s efforts to mitigate damages and/or its compliance with this subsection is at issue, Lessor shall be presumed to have used reasonable efforts to mitigate damages and Lessee shall bear the burden of proof to establish that such reasonable efforts were not used.
58
L. No receipt of moneys by Lessor from Lessee after a termination of this Lease with respect to any one or more of the Properties or of Lessee’s rights under this Lease by Lessor with respect thereto shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease with respect to such one or more Properties or affect any notice theretofore given to Lessee, or operate as a waiver of the right of Lessor to enforce the payment of Rent and any related amounts to be paid by Lessee to Lessor then due or thereafter falling due, it being agreed that after the commencement of suit for possession of any such Property, or after final order or judgment for the possession of any such Property, Lessor may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such suit, order or judgment, all such money collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupation of any such Property or, at the election of Lessor, on account of Lessee’s liability hereunder. Lessee hereby waives any and all rights of redemption provided by any law, statute or ordinance now in effect or which may hereafter be enacted.
M. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other legal or equitable right or remedy given hereunder, or at any time existing. The failure of Lessor to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent or any other payment due under the terms of this Lease during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any such term. To the extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. Lessor and Lessee agree that no waiver shall be effective hereunder unless it is in writing.
16.2 Additional Expenses. It is further agreed that, in addition to payments required pursuant to Section 16.1 above and the provisions of Section 40.3, Lessee shall compensate Lessor and its Affiliates for (a) all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates in enforcing the provisions of this Lease and in repossessing the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including among other expenses, any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of all or any portion of the Leased Property); (b) all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates in reletting (including among other expenses, repairs, remodeling, replacements, advertisements and brokerage fees); (c) all concessions granted to a new Tenant or Tenants upon reletting (including among other concessions, renewal options); (d) Lessor’s and its Affiliates’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from or related to an Event of Default; (e) all losses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates as a direct or indirect result of such Event of Default (including, among other losses, any adverse action by Facility Lenders); and (f) a reasonable allowance for Lessor’s administrative efforts, salaries and overhead attributable directly or indirectly to such Event of Default and Lessor’s pursuing the rights and remedies provided herein and under applicable law.
59
16.3 Waivers.
(a) If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession; (ii) any right to a trial by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Article XVI; (iii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt; and (iv) any statutory requirement of prior written notice for filing eviction or damage suits for nonpayment of Rent or any other payments under this Lease. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that no waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless made under signature of an authorized representative of Lessor.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of: (i) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law or any other law which may prevent Lessor from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Lessee or any one or more of the Facility Lessees or Guarantors, before or after Lessor’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure or similar action or actions, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (ii) any election of remedies by Lessor which destroys or otherwise adversely affects Lessee or any one or more of the Facility Lessee’s or Guarantor’s subrogation rights or rights to proceed against any Person for reimbursement, including, without limitation, any loss of rights Lessee or Guarantors may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), if any, (iii) any disability or other defense of any other Person, other than payment in full in legal tender, of the Obligations; (iv) any right to claim discharge of the Obligations on the basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for the Obligations; (v) any defenses given to guarantors, sureties, and/or co-makers at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Obligations; or (vi) any action by Lessor or its Affiliates to enforce its rights and remedies under this Lease, the Mortgage Loan Documents and the other Obligation Documents.
16.4 Application of Funds. Any payments otherwise payable by or to Lessee which are received by Lessor under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default shall be applied to Lessee’s obligations in the order which Lessor may reasonably determine.
16.5 Notices by Lessor. The provisions of this Article XVI concerning notices shall be liberally construed insofar as the contents of such notices are concerned, and any such notice shall be sufficient if reasonably designed to apprise Lessee of the nature and approximate extent of any default, it being agreed that Lessee is in as good or a better position than Lessor to ascertain the exact extent of any default by Lessee hereunder.
16.6 Lessor’s Contractual Security Interest. In order to secure the payment of all Rent due and to become due hereunder and the faithful performance of this Lease by Lessee and to secure all other obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of Lessee to Lessor, now existing or hereafter incurred, contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Lessee has executed the Security Agreement granting Lessor certain liens and security interests as therein described. The liens and security interests granted to Lessor pursuant to the Security Agreement are given in addition
60
to and cumulative to any statutory landlord lien. All exemption laws are hereby waived in favor of such lien and security interest and in favor of Lessor’s statutory landlord lien. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor shall have the remedies set forth in the Security Agreement, in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity and the remedies set forth in this Lease.
ARTICLE XVII
LESSOR’S RIGHT TO CURE
Subject to the provisions of Article XII relating to permitted contests, if Lessee shall fail to make any payment, or to perform any act required to be made or performed under this Lease and to cure the same within the relevant time periods provided in Section 16.1, or if a breach or default or event of default occurs with respect to any Material Obligation, including, without limitation, any Material Obligation relating to any receivables or working capital loan or financing provided to Lessee (collectively the “RFFE Loans”), and such default or event of default is not cured or waived within the applicable cure period provided in the document evidencing such Material Obligation, after written notice to Lessee, Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon any portion of the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lessor’s opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses, in each case, to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Lessor until reimbursed, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.
ARTICLE XVIII
PURCHASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
In the event Lessee purchases any Property pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Lessee of the applicable purchase price, together with full payment of any unpaid Rent, including, without limitation, any unpaid Additional Charges and any other amounts owed by Lessee or its Affiliates to Lessor, MPT Real Estate Owner and their respective Affiliates, due and payable with respect to any period ending on or before the date of the purchase, cause MPT Real Estate Owner to deliver to Lessee an appropriate special warranty deed or other similar instrument of conveyance conveying the entire interest of MPT Real Estate Owner in and to such Property to Lessee in the condition as received from Lessee, free and clear of all encumbrances other than (a) those that Lessee has agreed hereunder to pay or discharge; (b) those mortgage liens, if any, which Lessee has agreed in writing to accept and to take title subject to; (c) any other Liens permitted to be imposed on such Property under the provisions of Article XXXVI which are assumable at no cost to Lessee or to which Lessee may take subject without cost to Lessee; and (d) any matters affecting such Property on or as of the applicable
61
Commencement Date. The positive difference, if any, between the applicable purchase price and the total of the monetary encumbrances assigned or taken subject to shall be paid in cash to MPT Real Estate Owner, or as MPT Real Estate Owner may direct, in federal or other immediately available funds except as otherwise mutually agreed by MPT Real Estate Owner and Lessee. The closing of any such sale shall be contingent upon and subject to Lessee obtaining all required governmental consents and approvals for such transfer and if such sale shall fail to be consummated by reason of the inability of Lessee to obtain all such approvals and consents, any options to extend the Term of this Lease which otherwise would have expired during the period from the date when Lessee elected or became obligated to purchase such portion of the Leased Property until Lessee’s inability to obtain the approvals and consents is confirmed shall be deemed to remain in effect for thirty (30) days after the end of such period. All expenses of such conveyance, including, without limitation, the cost of title examination or standard coverage title insurance, survey, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner in connection with such conveyance, transfer taxes, prepayment penalties, and any other reasonable fees of any Facility Lender with respect to any Facility Instrument, recording fees and similar charges shall be paid by Lessee.
ARTICLE XIX
HOLDING OVER
If Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession of any Property after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of the Term with respect to thereto, such possession shall be as a tenancy at will, during which time Lessee shall pay, as rental each month, one and one-half (1-1/2) times the aggregate of (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the aggregate Allocated Base Rent relating to such Property payable with respect to the last complete twelve (12)-month period prior to the expiration of the Term; (b) all Additional Charges relating to such Property accruing during the month, and (c) all other sums, if any, payable by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property. During such period of tenancy, Lessee shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to tenancies at will, to continue its occupancy and use of such Property. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE XX
LESSOR CONSENT
Whenever MPT TRS, in its capacity as a Member under the LLC Agreement has approved pursuant to Section 4.12 of the LLC Agreement any item that requires Lessor’s approval hereunder or has provided consent pursuant to the LLC Agreement with respect to any item that requires Lessor’s consent hereunder, Lessor will be deemed to have approved or consented to such item hereunder.
62
ARTICLE XXI
RISK OF LOSS
During the Term, the risk of loss of, or decrease in, the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Leased Property in consequence of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or in consequence of foreclosures, attachments, levies or executions (other than by Lessor and those claiming from, through or under Lessor) is assumed by Lessee and, Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable therefor nor shall any of the events mentioned in this Article XXI entitle Lessee to any abatement of Rent except as specifically provided in this Lease.
ARTICLE XXII

NOTWITHSTANDING THE EXISTENCE OF ANY INSURANCE OR SELF INSURANCE PROVIDED FOR IN ARTICLE XIII, AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE POLICY LIMITS OF ANY SUCH INSURANCE OR SELF INSURANCE, IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE AND GUARANTORS AS PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE, LESSEE WILL PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, SAVE HARMLESS AND DEFEND LESSOR AND MPT REAL ESTATE OWNER FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CAUSES OF ACTION, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW), IMPOSED UPON OR INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST LESSOR AND MPT REAL ESTATE OWNER BY REASON OF: (A) ANY ACCIDENT, INJURY TO OR DEATH OF PERSONS OR LOSS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY OCCURRING ON OR ABOUT THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ADJOINING SIDEWALKS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIMS OF MALPRACTICE DURING THE TERM OR WHICH RELATE TO THE PERIOD OF LESSEE’S POSSESSION DURING THE TERM, (B) ANY USE, MISUSE, NO USE, CONDITION, MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR BY LESSEE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY DURING THE TERM OR WHICH RELATE TO THE PERIOD OF LESSEE’S POSSESSION DURING THE TERM, (C) ANY IMPOSITIONS (WHICH ARE THE OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE TO PAY PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE), (D) ANY FAILURE ON THE PART OF LESSEE TO PERFORM OR COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE, (E) THE NON-PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF ANY AND ALL EXISTING AND FUTURE SUBLEASES OF THE LEASED PROPERTY TO BE PERFORMED BY THE LANDLORD (LESSEE) THEREUNDER DURING THE TERM OR WHICH RELATE TO THE PERIOD OF LESSEE’S POSSESSION DURING THE TERM, (F) ANY AND ALL LAWFUL ACTION THAT MAY BE TAKEN BY LESSOR OR MPT REAL ESTATE OWNER IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE, WHETHER OR NOT SUIT IS FILED IN CONNECTION WITH SAME, OR IN CONNECTION WITH LESSEE OR
63
A GUARANTOR AND/OR ANY PARTNER, JOINT VENTURER, MEMBER OR SHAREHOLDER THEREOF BECOMING A PARTY TO A VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY FEDERAL OR STATE BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING, (G) WITH RESPECT TO EACH PROPERTY, TO THE EXTENT ARISING DURING THE TERM OR WHICH RELATE TO THE PERIOD OF LESSEE’S POSSESSION DURING THE TERM, ANY (I) TO THE EXTENT ARISING DURING THE TERM, ENCROACHMENTS ONTO OR FROM ADJACENT PROPERTIES; (II) VIOLATIONS OF SET-BACK, BUILDING OR SIDE LINES; (III) ENCROACHMENTS ONTO ANY EASEMENTS OR SERVITUDES LOCATED ON SUCH PROPERTY; (IV) PENDING OR THREATENED BOUNDARY LINE DISPUTES; (V) PORTIONS OF SUCH PROPERTY LOCATED IN A FLOOD PLAIN OR IN AN AREA DEFINED AS A WETLAND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE OR FEDERAL LAW; (VI) CEMETERIES OR GRAVESITES LOCATED ON, WITHIN OR UNDER SUCH PROPERTY; OR (VII) MINE SHAFTS UNDER SUCH PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER LATENT DEFECTS, SUCH AS SINKHOLES, REGARDING OR AFFECTING SUCH PROPERTY, (H) ANY GRANTS, CONVEYANCES OR TRANSFERS OF ANY INTERESTS OR RIGHTS IN OR TO THE LEASED PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, EASEMENTS, RIGHTS-WAY, RESTRICTIONS) MADE BY LESSEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON WHICH ARE NOT APPROVED BY LESSOR PRIOR TO PLACING THE SAME OF RECORD ON THE LEASED PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE PRIOR TO THE LESSOR TAKING TITLE TO THE LEASED PROPERTY, (I) TO THE EXTENT ARISING DURING THE TERM, THE IMPROVEMENTS HAVING INSUFFICIENT ACCESS TO A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY OR FAILING TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL RULES, REGULATIONS AND ORDINANCES OF ALL GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE LAND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE PERTAINING TO ZONING AND PARKING, (J) ANY FAILURE ON THE PART OF LESSEE TO PERFORM OR COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE TERMS OF THE OKLAHOMA GROUND LEASE AS REQUIRED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE, AND (K) ANY REVERSION OF THE APPLICABLE LEASED IMPROVEMENTS UNDER OKLAHOMA GROUND LEASE TO THE “LANDLORD” THEREUNDER DURING THE FIXED TERM OR DURING ANY EXTENSION TERM EXERCISED HEREUNDER BY LESSEE. ANY AMOUNTS WHICH BECOME PAYABLE BY LESSEE UNDER THIS ARTICLE XXII SHALL BE PAID WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS AFTER DEMAND THEREFOR BY LESSOR AND/OR MPT REAL ESTATE OWNER AND, IF NOT TIMELY PAID, SHALL BEAR A LATE CHARGE (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) AT THE OVERDUE RATE FROM THE EXPIRATION OF SAID FIFTEEN (15) DAY PERIOD UNTIL THE DATE OF PAYMENT AND A LATE PAYMENT PENALTY ON SUCH AMOUNT.

ARTICLE XXIII
ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND SUBLEASE SUBORDINATION
23.1 Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Lessee shall not assign this Lease without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any assignment, provided, that (i) such assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed; and (ii) an original counterpart of the assignment, duly executed by Lessee and such assignee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor; it being understood and agreed, however, that if, in connection with any such assignment, Lessee desires that Lessor release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease, Lessor’s review and approval of any assignee shall be in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion. The parties agree that Lessor’s failure or refusal to approve an assignment to an assignee that does not have the operating characteristics reasonably satisfactory to Lessor shall be reasonable on its face. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, any assignment must be of all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to this Lease and the Leased Property such that this Lease is not severed with respect to any one or more of the Properties. The parties agree that Lessor’s failure or refusal to approve an assignment to an assignee without the required operating strengths shall be reasonable on its face.
(b) Lessee shall not sublease any portion of a particular Property if such Tenant Lease would exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in annual rent without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lessee agrees that (i) each Tenant Lease shall comply with the provisions of this Article XXIII, (ii) subject to Section 23.4, a copy of each such Tenant Lease, duly executed by Lessee and such Tenant in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor and (iii) Lessee shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the obligations, covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder and under all of the other documents executed in connection herewith. Any modifications, amendments and restatements of any Tenant Leases (but excluding renewals and extensions) hereafter entered into (other than those having less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in annual rent) must be approved by Lessor in accordance with this Article XXIII. In no event shall Lessee sublease all or substantially all of any Property without Lessor’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion.
65
23.2 Sublease Limitations. In addition to the sublease limitations as set forth in Section 23.1, above, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the Tenant thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the Tenant, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Tenant Lease rental received by Lessor would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto. Moreover, Lessee shall not sublet any portion of the Leased Property for a term extending beyond the Fixed Term without the express consent of Lessor. In addition, all Tenant Leases shall comply in all material respects with the Healthcare Laws. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that all Tenant Leases entered into relating to the Leased Property, whether or not approved by Lessor, shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, be deemed to be a direct lease between Lessor and any Tenant. Lessee agrees that all Tenant Leases must include provisions to the effect that (i) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, to the rights of Lessor hereunder, and to all financing documents relating to any Facility Loan in connection with the Leased Property, (ii) in the event this Lease shall terminate or be terminated before the expiration of the Tenant Lease, the Tenant will, at Lessor’s option, exercisable at any time in Lessor’s discretion, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the Tenant may have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease, (iii) in the event of a termination of this Lease with respect to all or the applicable Property, at Lessor’s option, exercisable at any time in Lessor’s discretion, the sublease may be terminated or left in place by Lessor, (iv) Tenant shall from time to time upon request of Lessee or Lessor furnish within twenty (20) days from request an estoppel certificate in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lessor or any Facility Lender relating to the Tenant Lease, (v) in the event the Tenant receives a written notice from Lessor or Lessor’s assignees, if any, stating that an Event of Default under this Lease has occurred, the Tenant shall, to the extent specified in such notice, thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under said Tenant Lease directly to the Person giving such notice, or as such Person may direct, and such Tenant shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such notice (all rentals received from the Tenant by Lessor or Lessor’s assignees, if any, as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Lessee under this Lease), and (vi) such Tenant Lease shall at all times be subject to the obligations and requirements as set forth in this Article XXIII.
23.3 Sublease Subordination and Non-Disturbance.
(a) At any time during the Term, except with respect to the Existing Subleases, within twenty (20) days following written request by Lessor with respect to any Tenant, Lessee shall cause any applicable Tenant to execute and deliver to Lessor (a) an estoppel certifying such matters as Lessor may reasonably request, including, without limitation, that such Tenant Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or setting forth the modifications), the term and expiration thereof and the dates to which the Rent has been paid; and/or (b) a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement relating to the applicable Tenant Lease, which subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement shall be in form mutually satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee.
66
(b) Within twenty (20) days from the date of request of Lessor, a Facility Lender or Lessee, with respect to any Tenant, Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant and Lessor shall cause such Facility Lender to enter into a written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to such Facility Lender and such Tenant whereby (i) such Tenant subordinates the Tenant Lease and all of its rights and estate thereunder to each such mortgage or deed of trust that encumbers the Leased Property or any part thereof and agrees with each such Facility Lender that such Tenant will attorn to and recognize such Facility Lender or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in any such mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be, as Lessor under this Lease for the balance of the Term then remaining, subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Tenant Lease and (ii) such Facility Lender shall agree that Tenant shall not be disturbed in peaceful enjoyment of the applicable portion of the Leased Property nor shall the applicable Tenant Lease be terminated or canceled at any time, except as specified in the applicable Tenant Lease.
23.4 Existing Subleases. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that there currently exist certain leases or subleases on the Leased Property as described on Exhibit D (collectively the “Existing Subleases”). Lessor hereby consents to the Existing Subleases. Any material modifications, amendments and restatements of the Existing Subleases or any Tenant Lease hereafter entered into (but excluding renewals and extensions that do not otherwise materially modify or amend the relevant Existing Sublease or Tenant Lease) must be approved by Lessor in accordance with this Article XXIII.

ARTICLE XXVI
NO WAIVER
Any provision of this Lease or Exhibits hereto may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

ARTICLE XXX
TRANSFERS BY LESSOR AND MPT REAL ESTATE OWNER; SEVERANCE RIGHTS
30.1 Transfers by Lessor. Lessee acknowledges that MPT Real Estate Owner may sell its interest in the Leased Property in whole or in part, and that Lessor may assign its interest in this Lease in whole or in part, in any such case, without Lessee’s prior written consent or approval. If MPT Real Estate Owner, Lessor or any successor owner of any Property shall convey such Property in accordance with the terms hereof, other than as security for a debt, the grantee or transferee of such Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, and Lessor or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Lease relating to such Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner. Lessee agrees that any successor purchaser may exercise any and all rights of Lessor; provided, however, such successor purchaser shall be subject to the same restrictions imposed upon Lessor hereunder. Subject to the execution by a prospective purchaser of a written confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to Lessee, Lessor may divulge to any such prospective purchaser all information, reports, financial statements, certificates and documents obtained by it from Lessee.
71
30.2 Severance Rights. Notwithstanding the unitary nature of this Lease, Lessor may at any time and from time to time cause this Lease to be severed with respect to any one or more of the Properties (each, a “Severed Property”). If Lessor shall desire to sever this Lease pursuant to this Section 30.2, Lessor shall deliver written notice (each, a “Severance Notice”) to Lessee not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date that this Lease shall be severed with respect to the Severed Property or Severed Properties identified in the Severance Notice (such date identified in a Severance Notice, a “Severance Date”). The Severance Notice shall specify the Severed Property and the Severance Date. Effective upon a Severance Date, the applicable Severed Property shall no longer be part of the Leased Property under this Lease and such Severed Property shall be deemed to be and shall be leased by Lessor to Lessee for the amount of Rent allocable to such Severed Property pursuant to a separate lease (a “Severed Lease”) upon the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease (except for such provisions as by their terms are not applicable to such Severed Property); it being agreed, however, that the liability of the applicable lessor under the Severed Lease shall be limited to such lessor’s interest in the Severed Property. The portion of the Base Rent allocable to the Severed Property shall be the Allocated Base Rent for such Severed Property. Effective upon the Severance Date, the Rent payable with respect to each Severed Property shall no longer be payable by Lessee under this Lease and shall instead be payable under the Severed Lease applicable to such Severed Property. Effective on the Severance Date, the parties shall enter into the Severed Lease, and an amendment of this Lease, and an amendment of the applicable other Obligation Documents that assures that Lessor receives security and credit enhancements for both the Severed Lease and this Lease as so amended, comparable to that existing prior to the severance (the “Other Credit Enhancements”). For so long as Lessor under this Lease shall be the lessor under a Severed Lease, any such Severed Lease and the related Other Credit Enhancements shall be deemed “Obligation Documents” for all purposes under this Lease, any Event of Default under such Severed Lease or Other Credit Enhancements shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, and any Event of Default under this Lease or the other Obligation Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under such Severed Lease. Lessor will prepare the Severed Lease, the Other Credit Enhancements, the Lease amendment and, if necessary, the amendments to the other applicable Obligation Documents with respect to each Severed Property consistent with the provisions of this Section 30.2 and the parties agree to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered.
ARTICLE XXXI
QUIET ENJOYMENT
So long as Lessee shall pay all Rent as the same becomes due and shall fully comply with all of the terms of this Lease and fully perform its obligations hereunder, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property for the Term hereof, free of any claim or other action by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor, but subject to the Permitted Exceptions, any Facility Loan and all liens and encumbrances of record. No failure by
72
Lessor to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Lessee any right to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to fail to pay any other sum payable under this Lease, or to fail to perform any other obligation of Lessee hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right by separate and independent action to pursue any claim it may have against Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in this Article XXXI.

APPRAISAL
If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value, the Fair Market Value Purchase Price or the Fair Market Added Value of any Property, each party, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of the event which makes such determination necessary, shall, by notice to the other, appoint an appraiser (each of whom must be a member of the AIREA and adhere to the USPAP standards in the preparation of the appraisal). The appraisers thus appointed shall appoint a third appraiser (such third appraiser must also be a member of the AIREA and adhere to the USPAP standards in the preparation of the appraisal) and such third appraiser shall appraise such Property to determine the Fair Market Value Purchase Price or Fair Market Added Value thereof; provided, however, that if a party fails to appoint an appraiser within such required period, the sole appraiser appointed shall conduct the appraisal and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such appraisal to be completed within forty-five (45) days following the event which makes such determination necessary. This provision for determination by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such appraisal. Any appraisal shall assess the Fair Market Value Purchase Price or Fair Market Added Value of the applicable Property as of the date of the event which makes such assessment necessary.
ARTICLE XXXIV
PURCHASE RIGHTS
34.1 Lessee’s Option to Purchase. So long as (i) at the time of the giving of the notification described below no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the closing of the purchase described below, at the expiration of the Term of this Lease, Lessee shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to the Lessor no sooner than five hundred forty-five (545) days, and no later than three hundred sixty-five (365) days, prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, to purchase the entire Leased Property, and not less than the

34.2 Lessor’s Option to Purchase Lessee’s Personal Property. With respect to any Facility, upon prior written notice to Lessee, Lessor shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Facility Lessee’s Personal Property relating to such Facility, if any, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to such Facility, for an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the depreciated cost of Lessee’s Personal Property relating to such Facility, or (ii) the net sound insurable value thereof (current replacement cost less accumulated depreciation on the books of Lessee pertaining thereto), as determined in the good faith, reasonable discretion of Lessor, subject to, and with appropriate price adjustments for, all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, security interests and other encumbrances to which such Lessee’s Personal Property is subject. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 34.2 to the contrary, the options to purchase granted under this Section 34.2 do not pertain to any of the Licenses, it being understood and agreed that all matters relating to the transfer of the Licenses are addressed in Article XXXVIII.

MISCELLANEOUS
40.1 General. If any term or provision of this Lease or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other application of such term or provision shall not be affected thereby. If any late charges provided for in any provision of this Lease are based upon a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the parties agree that such charges shall be fixed at the maximum permissible rate. All the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns (subject to Article XXIII); provided, however, that (a) this Lease shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee pursuant to an assignment which violates the terms of this Lease and (b) neither this Lease nor any other document or agreement contemplated under this Lease shall be deemed to confer upon any Person not a party to this Lease any rights or remedies contained in this Lease. The headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect its meaning.
40.2 Bankruptcy Waivers.
(a) Unitary and Non-Severable Lease. The parties agree that for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C.

(b) Relief from Stay. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that in the event any Lessee or any Leased Property relating to any Facility shall become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency estate, then (i) Lessee shall not oppose any request by Lessor to obtain an order from the court granting relief from the automatic stay pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code so as to permit the exercise of all rights and remedies pursuant to this Lease, and (ii) the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default under this Lease shall, in and of itself, constitute “cause” for relief from the automatic stay pursuant to the provisions of Section 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, based on the fact that the non-existence of a bankruptcy proceeding was a material inducement for the entry by Lessor into this Lease.
(c) Automatic Stay. Lessee hereby waives the stay imposed by 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a) as to actions by the Lessor against each Facility. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that in the event of the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy by or against Lessee, it shall not assert or request that any other party assert that the automatic stay provided by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lessor to enforce any rights or remedies held by virtue of the Lease or applicable law.
81
(d) Patient Care Ombudsman. Lessee hereby agrees (i) to use its best efforts to contest the necessity of the appointment of a Patient Care Ombudsman for such Facility as that term is defined in 11 U.S.C.

40.5 Lessor Securities Offering and Filings. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lessee shall, at Lessor’s sole costs and expense, cooperate with Lessor in connection with any securities offerings and filings, or Lessor’s efforts to procure or maintain financing for, or related to, the Leased Property, or any portion thereof and, in connection therewith, Lessee shall furnish Lessor, in a timely fashion, with such financial and other information (including audited financial statements and consents of auditors) as Lessor shall reasonably request. Lessor shall reimburse the Lessee for any and all reasonable incremental costs (i.e., reasonable costs not otherwise incurred by the Lessee with respect to the normal preparation of such financial statements for other purposes) incurred in furnishing, or causing its
82
accountants to furnish, such financial statements and consents. Lessor may disclose that Lessor has entered into this Lease with Lessee and may provide and disclose information regarding this Lease, Lessee, the Guarantors, the Leased Property and each Facility, and such additional information which Lessor may reasonably deem necessary, to its proposed investors in such public offering or private offering of securities, or any current or prospective lenders with respect to such financing, and to investors, analysts and other parties in connection with earnings calls and other normal communications with investors, analysts, and other parties. Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessor, its legal and financial representatives, and any lender providing financing for all or any portion of the Leased Property shall have the right, subject to the execution of a written confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to Lessor, such lender and Lessee, to access, examine and copy all agreements, records, documentation and information relating to Lessee, the Guarantors, and such Leased Property, and to discuss such affairs and information with the officers, employees and independent public accountants of Lessee as often as reasonably necessary. The additional costs of Lessee in complying with the foregoing shall be reimbursed to Lessee by Lessor.
40.6 Non-Recourse as to Lessor. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any claim based on, or in respect of, any liability of Lessor under this Lease shall be enforced only against the Leased Property and any proceeds therefrom and not against any other assets, properties or funds of (i) Lessor, (ii) any director, officer, general partner, member, shareholder, limited partner, beneficiary, employee, representative, contractor or agent of Lessor or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Lessor Parties”) (or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assign of Lessor or any of the Lessor Parties), (iii) any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or other entity) of Lessor or any of the Lessor Parties, either directly or through Lessor or the Lessor Parties, or (iv) any person or entity affiliated with any of the foregoing. In no event shall Lessor or any of the Lessor Parties be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, and even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
40.7 Covenants, Restrictions and Reciprocal Easements. Subject to the Master Lease and the Oklahoma Ground Lease, and Lessee’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to place of record all covenants, restrictions and reciprocal easements on all or any portion of the Land (collectively, the “Declarations”) which Lessor deems reasonably necessary for the ownership of any Property, with such Declarations to be in form and content acceptable to Lessor in its reasonable discretion.
40.8 Force Majeure. Except for Rent and other monetary obligations payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease (which shall not be extended or excused), in the event that Lessor or Lessee shall be delayed, hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, or other industrial disturbances, inability to procure materials, failure of power, unavailability of any utility service, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, acts of public enemies, war, blockades, riots, insurrections, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, civil disturbances, weather-related acts of God, failure to act, or default of
83
another party, or other reason beyond Lessor’s or Lessee’s control (individually “Force Majeure”), then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period of the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. Within ten (10) Business Days following the occurrence of Force Majeure, the party claiming a delay due to such event shall give written notice to the other setting forth a reasonable estimate of such delay.
40.9 Management Agreements. Lessee shall not engage, terminate or remove any Management Company, without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall be in Lessor’s sole discretion; provided, however, that Lessor hereby approves Sunergeo Health as the current Management Company for the Facilities. At the request of Lessor, from time to time Lessee shall execute and deliver a subordination agreement relating to any Management Agreement entered into after the date hereof, which shall be in substantially the form of the Subordination of Management Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Subordination Agreement”). Lessee shall execute and deliver such Subordination Agreement to Lessor within ten (10) Business Days after Lessor’s request. Lessee agrees that execution of a subordination agreement in substantially the form of the Subordination Agreement shall be a precondition to Lessee entering into any future Management Agreement. Lessee shall require any Management Company to execute and deliver to Lessor within ten (10) Business Days from Lessor’s request an estoppel certificate, as required by Lessor and/or any Facility Lender, in such form and content as is reasonably acceptable to Lessor and/or such Facility Lender.
40.10 Lessee Non-Competition.
(a) Each Facility Lessee agrees that while the Lease is in place and, if such Lease is terminated due to an Event of Default by Lessee, then for a period of three (3) years thereafter (the “Noncompete Period”), no Facility Lessee shall, directly or indirectly, acquire, finance, guarantee indebtedness, own, lease, manage, develop or provide services in connection with the acquisition, ownership, operation or development of any real estate located within ten (10) miles of any point on or within any Property, which real estate is used in a Competing Business. Any violation of the provisions of this Section 40.10 shall suspend the Noncompete Period for the duration of such violation. “Competing Business” shall mean any healthcare business which involves the provision of general acute care services, long term care services, rehabilitation services and skilled nursing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Facility Lessee from acquiring, owning, operating or developing real estate, the acquisition, ownership, operation or development of which by such Facility Lessee will not have an adverse effect on the applicable Property, the ability of such Facility Lessee to perform its obligations under this Lease, or the ability of each of the Borrower Affiliates to perform their obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents, all as determined in the reasonable discretion of Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner.
(b) Lessee agrees that the restrictions contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner, and that any violation of the provisions would result in damages which cannot be adequately compensated by money
84
alone. Lessee agrees that Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief without proving actual damages or posting any bond in the event of any violation of the restrictions contained herein; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or be construed to prohibit or limit the right of Lessor and MPT Real Estate Owner to pursue any other legal and equitable remedies available to it on account of such breach or violation, including the recovery of damages from Lessee.
(c) If any court shall hold that the duration or scope of this Section 40.10 (geographic or otherwise) is unreasonable or invalid, then the provisions of this Section 40.10 shall remain in effect for whatever time period or geographic area that such court does not declare to be unreasonable or invalid. In addition, if any court shall hold that the duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of this Section 40.10 is unreasonable or invalid, then, to the extent permitted by law, the court may prescribe a maximum duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) that is judicially enforceable and not unreasonable and the parties agree to accept such judicial determination, which the parties agree shall be substituted in place of any and every judicially unenforceable provision of this Section 40.10, and that this Section 40.10, as so modified, shall be fully enforceable as if originally executed in such manner.
(d) The terms of this Section 40.10 are intended to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of all governmental and regulating authorities. Accordingly, the parties agree to renegotiate, in good faith, any term, condition or provision of this Section 40.10 determined to be in contravention of any regulation, policy or law of any such authority. All other provisions hereof shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
40.11 Lessor Non-Competition.
(a) Each Facility Lessor agrees that while the Lease is in place (the “Lessor Noncompete Period”) no Facility Lessor shall, directly or indirectly, acquire, finance, guarantee indebtedness, own, lease, manage, develop or provide services in connection with the acquisition, ownership, operation or development of any real estate located within ten (10) miles of any point on or within (i) any Property subject to this Lease, (ii) any “Property” subject to an Affiliate Separate Lease or (iii) any “Property” subject to a Real Estate Mortgage, which real estate or any portion thereof is utilized as a general acute care hospital or ambulatory surgery center. Any violation of the provisions of this Section 40.11 shall suspend the Lessor Noncompete Period for the duration of such violation; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Facility Lessor from acquiring, owning, operating or developing real estate, the acquisition, ownership, operation or development of which by such Facility Lessor will not have an adverse effect on the applicable Property, the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under this Lease, or the ability of each of the Borrower Affiliates to perform their obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents, all as determined in the reasonable discretion of Lessee.
(b) Lessor agrees that the restrictions contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Lessee and that any violation of the provisions would result
85
in damages which cannot be adequately compensated by money alone. Lessor agrees that Lessee will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief without proving actual damages or posting any bond in the event of any violation of the restrictions contained herein; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or be construed to prohibit or limit the right of Lessee to pursue any other legal and equitable remedies available to it on account of such breach or violation, including the recovery of damages from Lessor.
(c) If any court shall hold that the duration or scope of this Section 40.11 (geographic or otherwise) is unreasonable or invalid, then the provisions of this Section 40.11 shall remain in effect for whatever time period or geographic area that such court does not declare to be unreasonable or invalid. In addition, if any court shall hold that the duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of this Section 40.11 is unreasonable or invalid, then, to the extent permitted by law, the court may prescribe a maximum duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) that is judicially enforceable and not unreasonable and the parties agree to accept such judicial determination, which the parties agree shall be substituted in place of any and every judicially unenforceable provision of this Section 40.11, and that this Section 40.11, as so modified, shall be fully enforceable as if originally executed in such manner.
(d) The terms of this Section 40.10 are intended to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of all governmental and regulating authorities. Accordingly, the parties agree to renegotiate, in good faith, any term, condition or provision of this Section 40.10 determined to be in contravention of any regulation, policy or law of any such authority. All other provisions hereof shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law

40.14 True Operating Lease. Lessor and Lessee agree that this Lease is intended as, and shall for all purposes (other than for accounting purposes under GAAP) constitute a true operating lease and not a capital lease or financing and nothing herein shall be construed as conveying to Lessee any right, title or interest in or to the Leased Property or to any remainder or reversionary estates in the Leased Property held by any Person, except, in each instance, as a lessee. Under no circumstances shall this Lease be regarded as an assignment of all of Lessor’s interest in and to the Leased Property; instead, Lessor and Lessee shall have the relationship between them of Lessor and Lessee, pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Lease. In no event shall Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee claim depreciation, amortization or interest deductions as owner of any portion of the Leased Property for United States federal, state or local income tax purposes (except as to Capital Additions not funded by Lessor). It is an integral condition of this Lease, and a material inducement to Lessor’s agreement to enter into this Lease, that Lessee agrees (other than for accounting purposes under GAAP) this Lease is an operating lease and not a capital lease or financing. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any right to demand, request or plead for the re-characterization of this Lease or any other Obligation Document, whether or not in a proceeding related to any bankruptcy or insolvency of Lessor or Lessee.

If, in the reasonable judgment of MPT Real Estate Owner or Lessor, MPT TRS, an Affiliate of Lessor, is prohibited by any laws or regulations from owning all or any portion of its equity interest in Health Holdings or from possessing or exercising any of its rights under the LLC Agreement, then the parties shall restructure Lessor’s relationship with Lessee, including possible modifications of this Lease and the other Obligation Documents, so as to preserve the existing business and financial relationships among them, provided any
87
such modifications do not materially increase Lessee’s obligations under this Lease or the Obligation Documents or materially diminish Lessee’s rights under this Lease or the Obligation Documents. Lessor shall fully reimburse Lessee and its Affiliates for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or liabilities arising out of, connected with or in any manner related to such restructuring.
40.16 Compliance with Anti-Terrorism Laws. Lessor hereby notifies Lessee that pursuant to the requirements of certain Anti-Terrorism Laws (including, without limitation, the Patriot Act) and Lessor’s policies and practices, Lessor is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies Lessee, its principals and Affiliates, which information includes the name and address of Lessee, its principals and Affiliates, and such other information that will allow Lessor to identify such parties in accordance with the Anti-Terrorism Laws (including, without limitation, the Patriot Act). Lessee will not, directly or indirectly, knowingly enter into any lease for the operation of any part of a Facility or any other lease or any material contracts with any person listed on the OFAC List.

In order to expedite the execution of this Lease, telecopied signatures or signatures sent by electronic mail may be used in the place of original signatures on this Lease. The parties intend to be bound by the signatures of the telecopied or electronically mailed signatures, and hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Lease based on the form of the signature. Following any facsimile or electronic mail transmittal, the party shall promptly deliver the original instrument by reputable overnight courier in accordance with the notice provisions of this Lease.
40.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LESSOR AND LESSEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF EITHER PARTY OR ANY EXERCISE OF ANY PARTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS LEASE OR THE LEASED PROPERTY (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS LEASE WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE).

Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, whenever in this Lease the phrases “continuing,” “continuation of” or similar words or phrases are used in connection with Events of Default, defaults, or events which with notice or passage of time would constitute Events of Default, such phrases or words shall not be construed to create any right in the Lessee to have additional periods of time to cure such defaults or Events of Default other than those specific cure periods provided in this Lease.
40.22 Specific Performance. In addition to any rights and remedies available to the parties hereunder or at law, each party shall be entitled to bring an action for specific performance and to seek other equitable relief in connection with any breach or violation, or any attempted breach or violation, of the provisions of this Lease.

The parties hereto and their respective counsel have participated in the drafting and redrafting of this Lease and the general rules of construction which would construe any provisions of this Lease in favor of or to the advantage of one party as opposed to the other as a result of one party drafting this Lease as opposed to the other or in resolving any conflict or ambiguity in favor of one party as opposed to the other on the basis of which party drafted this Lease are hereby expressly waived by all parties to this Lease.
