quality to the original work, and, subject to the provisions of paragraph 9.1.6,
where, by reason of age or condition, such repairs cannot be made to the quality
of the original work, the property to be repaired shall be replaced.
9.1.3 Landlord shall not under any circumstances be required to build
or rebuild any improvements on the Leased Property or on any property
appurtenant thereto, or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations,
restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Property,
whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or non-structural, foreseen or
unforeseen, or upon any adjoining property, whether to provide lateral or other
support for the Leased Property or xxxxx a nuisance affecting the Leased
Property, or otherwise, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect
thereto, in connection with the Lease, or to maintain the Leased Property in any
way. Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right provided by
law, but not provided by the terms of this Lease, to make repairs at the expense
of Landlord.
9.1.4 Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as (a)
constituting the consent or request of Landlord, expressed or implied, to any
contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialmen or vendor to or for the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other
property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or
to the Leased Property or any part thereof, or (b) giving Tenant 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 Landlord 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 Landlord in
the Leased Property or any portion thereof. Landlord shall have the right to
give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of non-responsibility under any
mechanics' and construction lien laws now or hereafter existing.
9.1.5 Tenant shall, from time to time as and when needed, replace with
Replacement Property any of the Fixtures or Personal Property which shall have
(a) become worn out, obsolete or unusable for the purpose for which it is
intended (if such Fixtures or Personal Property continues to be necessary), (b)
been the subject of a Taking (in which event
23
Tenant shall be entitled to that portion of any Award made therefor), or (c)
been lost, stolen or damaged or destroyed; provided, however, that the
Replacement Property shall (i) be in good operating condition, (ii) be of a
quality reasonably equivalent to that of the Replaced Property and (iii) be
suitable for a use which is the same or similar to that of the Replaced
Property. Tenant shall repair at its sole cost and expense all damage to the
applicable Leased Property caused by the removal of Replaced Property or other
personal property of Tenant or the installation of Replacement Property. All
Replacement Property shall become the property of Landlord and shall become
Fixtures or Landlord's Personal Property, as the case may be, to the same extent
as the Replaced Property had been. Upon Landlord's written request Tenant shall
with reasonable promptness cause to be executed and delivered to Landlord an
invoice, xxxx of sale or other appropriate instrument evidencing the transfer or
assignment to Landlord of all estate, right, title and interest (other than the
leasehold estate created hereby) of Tenant or any other Person in and to any
Replacement Property the cost of which exceeds Twenty Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000), free from all liens and other exceptions to title, and Tenant shall
pay all taxes, fees, costs and other expenses that may become payable as a
result thereof.
9.1.6 Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant
shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property leased by it to Landlord as a
fully equipped, licensed health care facility, with all equipment required by
the laws of the State of Idaho to maintain its then current license, and shall
assign and transfer to Landlord (or to another Person designated by Landlord)
the Facility Trade Names, local telephone numbers, local electronic mail and
"Internet" addresses, if any, under which the Facility is then conducting
business, and all Facility-specific licenses, permits and rights to do business
of every kind (subject to such governmental approvals as may be required),
patient admission agreements and records, supplier and operator contracts, a
copy of all then-current data maintained by Tenant in writing or recorded on
computer media with respect to the business of the Facility and all computer
software necessary to access and manipulate such data. Tenant shall not be
required to transfer proprietary software to Landlord, but shall cause the data
it is to transfer to Landlord to be transferred to Landlord, without charge. At
the expiration of the Term or the sooner termination of this Lease, the Leased
Property, including all Leased Improvements, Fixtures and Landlord's Personal
Property, shall be returned to Landlord in good operating condition, ordinary
wear and tear, Taking and casualty damage that Tenant is not required by this
Lease to repair or restore, excepted, and except as repaired, rebuilt, restored,
altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, not more than fifty
percent (50%) of the value of the Personal Property returned to Landlord as
required herein may at the time of such return be subject to Purchase Money
Financing, and at the time of such return Tenant shall assign to Landlord all of
its right, title and interest in and to such any and all documents evidencing
such Purchase Money Financing.
9.2 ENCROACHMENTS, RESTRICTIONS, ETC. Except in the case of Permitted
Encumbrances, if any of the Leased Improvements (other than as existing on the
Commencement Date), at any time encroaches in a material adverse manner upon any
property, street or right-of-way adjacent to the Leased Property, or materially
violates the agreements or conditions contained in any lawful restrictive
covenant or other agreement
24
affecting the Leased Property or any part thereof, or materially impairs the
rights of others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Property
is subject, then promptly upon the request of Landlord or at the behest of any
person legitimately affected by any such encroachment, violation or impairment,
Tenant shall, at its expense, either (a) obtain valid and effective waivers or
settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such
encroachment, violation or impairment, or (b) make such changes to the Leased
Improvements, and take such other actions, as are reasonably practicable, to
remove such encroachment, and to end such violation or impairment, including, if
necessary, the alteration of any of the applicable Leased Improvements, and in
any event take all such actions as may be necessary in order to be able to
continue the operation of the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use
substantially in the manner and to the extent the Leased Property was operated
prior to the assertion of such violation, impairment or encroachment.
ARTICLE 10
ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS
10.1 CONSTRUCTION OF ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE LEASED PROPERTY.
Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, improvements or
additions of or to the Leased Property leased by it or any part thereof, other
than non-structural alterations having no material effect on the roof,
foundation, utility systems or structure, unless and until Tenant has caused
plans and specifications therefor to have been prepared, at Tenant's expense, by
a licensed architect and submitted to Landlord at least thirty (30) days (ninety
(90) days, if such alterations, improvements or additions are reasonably
estimated to cost more than the Approval Threshold) in advance of the
commencement of construction, and has obtained Landlord's written approval
thereof. Landlord shall have the right to require that, prior to the
commencement of construction of any alterations, improvements or additions as to
which its approval is required hereunder, Tenant also provide Landlord with
reasonable assurance of the payment of the cost thereof and, if the cost thereof
is in excess of the Approval Threshold, Tenant shall comply with Landlord's
requirements with respect to the periodic delivery of lien waivers and evidence
of payment for such cost. If such approval is granted, Tenant shall cause the
work described in such approved plans and specifications to be performed, at its
expense, promptly, and in a good, workerlike manner by licensed contractors and
in compliance with applicable governmental and Insurance Requirements and Legal
Requirements and the standards set forth in this Lease, which improvements shall
in any event constitute a complete architectural unit (if applicable) in keeping
with the character of the Leased Property and the area in which the Leased
Property is located and which will not diminish the value of the Leased Property
or change the Primary Intended Use of the Leased Property. Tenant shall be
responsible for the completion of such improvements in accordance with the plans
and specifications approved by Landlord, and shall promptly correct any failure
with respect thereto. Each and every such improvement, alteration or addition
shall immediately become a part of the Leased Property and shall belong to
Landlord subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall not
have any claim against Landlord at any time in respect of the cost
25
or value of any such improvement, alteration or addition. There shall be no
adjustment in the Base Rent by reason of any such improvement, alteration or
addition, unless such improvement, alteration or addition is financed by
Landlord. With Landlord's consent, expenditures made by a Tenant pursuant to
this Article 10 may be included as capital expenditures for purposes of
inclusion in the capital expenditures budget for the Facility and for measuring
compliance with the obligations of Tenant set forth in Section 8.3.1.1 hereof.
10.2 ASBESTOS REMOVAL FOR ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS. In connection with any
alteration other than removal pursuant to the Escrow Agreement which involves
the removal, demolition or disturbance of any asbestos-containing material,
Tenant shall cause to be prepared at its expense a full asbestos assessment
applicable to such alteration, and shall carry out such asbestos monitoring and
maintenance program as shall reasonably be required thereafter in light of the
results of such assessment.
ARTICLE 11
REMOVAL OF LIENS
Without the consent of Landlord, and except as expressly provided
elsewhere herein, Tenant shall not directly or indirectly create or allow to
remain, and within thirty (30) business days after notice thereof shall promptly
discharge at its expense, any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention
agreement or claim upon the Leased Property, and any attachment, levy, claim or
encumbrance in respect of the Rent, excluding (a) Permitted Encumbrances, (b)
Mechanics Liens for sums not yet due, (c) liens created by the acts or omissions
of Landlord, and (d) Mechanics Liens which Tenant is contesting (provided that
the aggregate amount of such contested liens shall not exceed one month's Base
Rent.
ARTICLE 12
CONTEST OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ETC.
12.1 PERMITTED CONTESTS. Tenant, on its own or on Landlord's behalf (or in
Landlord's name), but at Tenant's sole cost and expense, may contest, by
appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence,
the amount or validity of any Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance
Requirement or Claim not otherwise permitted by Article 11, but this shall not
be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Tenant's
covenants to pay or to cause to be paid any such charges at the time and in the
manner as in this Lease provided, nor shall any such legal proceedings operate
to relieve Tenant from its obligations hereunder and or cause the sale of the
Leased Property, or any part thereof, to satisfy the same or cause Landlord or
Tenant to be in default under any Encumbrance or in violation of any Legal
Requirements or Insurance Requirements upon the Leased Property or any interest
therein. Upon request of Landlord, if the claim exceeds the
26
Approval Threshold, Tenant shall either (a) provide a bond, letter of credit or
other assurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all Claims, together
with interest and penalties, if any, thereon, will be paid, or (b) deposit
within the time otherwise required for payment with a bank or trust company
selected by Landlord as trustee, as security for the payment of such Claims,
money in an amount sufficient to pay the same, together with interest and
penalties in connection therewith, and all Claims which may be assessed against
or become a Claim on the Leased Property, or any part thereof, in said legal
proceedings. Tenant shall furnish Landlord and any lender to Landlord and any
other party entitled to assert or enforce any Legal Requirements or Insurance
Requirements with evidence of such deposit within five (5) days of the same.
Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if the same be required to
legally prosecute such contest of the validity of such Claims; provided,
however, that Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to any liability for the
payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such proceedings; and
Tenant covenants to indemnify and save harmless Landlord from any such costs or
expenses, including but not limited to attorney's fees incurred in any
arbitration proceeding, trial, appeal and post-judgment enforcement proceedings.
Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges and
penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Tenant or paid by Landlord
and for which Landlord has been fully reimbursed. If Tenant fails to pay or
satisfy the requirements or conditions of any Claims when finally determined to
be due or to provide the security therefor as provided in this paragraph and to
diligently prosecute any contest of the same, Landlord may, upon thirty (30)
days advance written Notice to Tenant, pay such charges or satisfy such claims
together with any interest and penalties and the same (or the cost thereof)
shall be repayable by Tenant to Landlord forthwith as Additional Charges. If
Landlord reasonably determines that a shorter period is necessary in order to
prevent loss to the Leased Property or avoid damage to Landlord, then Landlord
shall give such written Notice as is practical under the circumstances.
12.2 LANDLORD'S REQUIREMENT FOR DEPOSITS. Upon and at any time after an
Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not Tenant subsequently cures
such Event of Default, Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to
require Tenant to pay monthly a pro rata portion of the amounts required to
comply with the Insurance Requirements, any Imposition and any Legal
Requirements, and when such obligations become due, Landlord shall pay them (to
the extent of the deposit) upon Notice from Tenant requesting such payment. If
sufficient funds have not been deposited to cover the amount of the obligations
due at least thirty (30) days in advance of the due date, Tenant shall forthwith
deposit the same with Landlord upon written request from Landlord. Landlord
shall not commingle such deposited funds with its other funds, and Tenant shall
be entitled to any interest paid on any deposit so held by Landlord unless and
except to the extent that Landlord, having the right to do so by the terms of
this Lease, applies such interest to Tenant's obligations hereunder. Upon an
Event of Default under this Lease, any of the funds remaining on deposit may be
applied under this Lease, in any manner and on such priority as is determined by
Landlord and after five (5) days Notice to Tenant.
27
ARTICLE 13
INSURANCE
13.1 GENERAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. During the Term, Tenant shall at all
times keep the Leased Property leased by it, and all property located in or on
the Leased Property, including all Personal Property, insured with the kinds and
amounts of insurance described below. This insurance shall be written by
companies authorized to do insurance business in the State of Idaho. All such
policies provided and maintained during the Term shall be written by companies
having a rating classification of not less than "A-" and a financial size
category of "Class X," according to the then most recent issue of Best's Key
Rating Guide. The policies (other than Workers' Compensation policies) shall
name Landlord as an additional insured. Losses shall be payable to Landlord and
Tenant and disbursed as provided in Article 14. Tenant shall pay when due all of
the premiums for the insurance required hereunder, and deliver certificates
thereof (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) to Landlord
prior to their effective date, or, with respect to any renewal policy, prior to
the expiration of the existing policy. In the event of the failure of Tenant
either to effect such insurance as herein called for or to pay the premiums
therefor, or to deliver such certificates thereof to Landlord at the times
required, Landlord shall be entitled, but shall have no obliga tion, to effect
such insurance and pay the premiums therefor when due, which premiums shall be
repayable to Landlord upon written demand therefor as Rent, and failure to repay
the same within thirty (30) days after Notice shall constitute an Event of
Default. The policies on the Leased Property, including the Leased Improvements
and Fixtures, and on the Personal Property, shall insure against the following
risks:
13.1.1 Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief,
earthquake (if available at commercially reasonable rates) and extended coverage
perils commonly known as "Special Risk," and all physical loss perils normally
included in such Special Risk insurance, including but not limited to sprinkler
leakage, in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the then full
replacement cost thereof (as defined in Section 13.2 hereof);
13.1.2 Loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels
or similar apparatus, now or hereafter installed in the Facility;
13.1.3 Loss of rental included in a business income or rental value
insurance policy covering risk of loss during reconstruction necessitated by the
occurrence of any of the hazards described in Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.2 hereof
(but in no event for a period of less than twelve (12) months) in an amount
sufficient to prevent either Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer;
13.1.4 Claims for personal injury or property damage under a policy of
commercial general public liability insurance with a combined single limit per
occurrence in respect of bodily injury and death and property damage of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000),
28
and an aggregate limitation of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), which
insurance shall include contractual liability insurance;
13.1.5 Claims arising out of professional malpractice in an amount not
less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each person and for each
occurrence and an aggregate limit of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000);
13.1.6 Flood (if Leased Property is located in whole or in part within
a designated flood plain area) and such other hazards and in such amounts as may
be customary for comparable properties in the area;
13.1.7 During such time as Tenant is constructing any improvements,
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall carry or cause to be carried (a)
workers' compensation insurance and employers' liability insurance covering all
persons employed in connection with the improvements in statutory limits, (b) a
completed operations endorsement to the commercial general liability insurance
policy referred to above, and (c) builder's risk insurance, completed value
form, covering all physical loss, in an amount and subject to policy conditions
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
13.1.8 Tenant shall procure, and at all times during the Term of this
Lease shall maintain, a policy of primary automobile liability insurance with
limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for owned and
non-owned and hired vehicles; and
13.1.9 If Tenant chooses to carry umbrella liability coverage to
obtain the limits of liability required hereunder, all such policies must cover
in the same manner as the primary commercial general liability policy and must
contain no additional exclusions or limitations materially different from those
of the primary policy.
13.2 REPLACEMENT COST. The term "full replacement cost" means the actual
replacement cost of the Leased Improvements, Fixtures and Landlord's Personal
Property, including an increased cost of construction endorsement, less
exclusions provided in the standard form of fire insurance policy. In all
events, full replacement cost shall be an amount sufficient that neither
Landlord nor Tenant is deemed to be a co-insurer of the Leased Property. If
Landlord in good faith believes that full replacement cost (the then replacement
cost less such exclusions) of the Leased Property has increased at any time
during the Term, it shall have the right, upon Notice to Tenant, to have such
full replacement cost reasonably redetermined by an Impartial Appraiser. The
determination of the Impartial Appraiser shall be final and binding on Landlord
and Tenant, and Tenant shall forthwith adjust the amount of the insurance
carried pursuant to this Section, as the case may be, to the amount so
determined by the Impartial Appraiser. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay
one-half of the fee, if any, of the Impartial Appraiser.
29
13.3 WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE. Tenant shall at all times maintain
workers' compensation insurance coverage for all persons employed by Tenant on
the Leased Property to the extent required under and in accordance with
applicable law.
13.4 WAIVER OF LIABILITY; WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord shall have no
liability to Tenant, and, provided Tenant carries the insurance required by this
Lease, Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord, regardless of the cause, for
any loss or expense resulting from or in connection with damage to or the
destruction or other loss of the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property,
and no party will have any right or claim against the other for any such loss or
expense by way of subrogation. Each insurance policy carried by Landlord or
Tenant covering the Leased Property and Tenant's Personal Property, including
without limitation, contents, fire and casualty insurance, shall expressly waive
any right of subrogation on the part of the insurer, if such a waiver is
commercially available. Tenant shall pay any additional costs or charges for
obtaining such waivers.
13.5 OTHER REQUIREMENTS. The form of all of the policies of insurance
referred to in this Article shall be the standard forms issued by the respective
insurers meeting the specific requirements of this Lease. The property loss
insurance policy shall contain a Replacement Cost Endorsement. If Tenant obtains
and maintains the professional malpractice insurance described in Section 13.1.5
hereof on a "claims-made" basis, Tenant shall provide continuous liability
coverage for claims arising during the Term either by obtaining an endorsement
providing for an extended reporting period reasonably acceptable to Landlord in
the event such policy is canceled or not renewed for any reason whatsoever, or
by obtaining "tail" insurance coverage converting the policies to "occurrence"
basis policies providing coverage for a period of at least three (3) years
beyond the expiration of the Term. Tenant shall cause each insurer mentioned in
this Article 13 to agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies issued by it,
or by independent instrument furnished to Landlord, that it will give to
Landlord at least thirty (30) days' written notice before the policy or policies
in question shall be materially altered or canceled. If requested by Landlord,
and if available at a commercially reasonable cost, all public liability and
property damage insurance shall contain a provision that Landlord, although
named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recovery under said
policies for any loss, damage, or injury to Landlord, its servants, agents and
employees by reason of the negligence of Tenant or Landlord.
13.6 INCREASE IN LIMITS. If, from time to time after the Commencement Date,
Landlord determines in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment that the
limits of the personal injury or property damage - public liability insurance
then carried are insufficient, Landlord may give Tenant Notice of acceptable
limits for the insurance to be carried, which limits shall be reasonable in
light of the limits required by Landlord of other of its borrowers and Tenant
with respect to similar portfolios at such time; and the insurance shall
thereafter be carried with limits as prescribed by Landlord until further
increase pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
30
13.7 BLANKET POLICY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article 13, Tenant'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 Tenant; provided, however, that the coverage
afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be materially
different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other
requirements hereof by reason of the use of the blanket policy, and provided
further that the requirements of this Article 13 are otherwise satisfied, and
provided further that Tenant maintain specific allocations acceptable to
Landlord.
13.8 NO SEPARATE INSURANCE.
13.8.1 Tenant shall not, on its 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, to be furnished by, or which may reasonably be required to be
furnished by, Tenant, or increase the amount 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 Landlord, are included therein as additional insureds, and the loss is
payable under said insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this
Lease.
13.8.2 Nothing herein shall prohibit Tenant from (a) securing
insurance required to be carried hereby with higher limits of liability than
required in this Lease, (b) securing umbrella policies or (c) insuring against
risks not required to be insured pursuant to this Lease, and as to such
insurance, Landlord need not be included therein as an additional insured, nor
must the loss thereunder be payable in the same manner as losses are payable
under this Lease. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the taking out of
any such separate insurance or of the increasing of any of the amounts of the
then existing insurance.
ARTICLE 14
CASUALTY LOSS
14.1 INSURANCE PROCEEDS. All Net Proceeds payable under any risk policy of
insurance required by Article 13 of this Lease, whether or not paid directly to
Landlord and/or Tenant, shall promptly be deposited with or paid over to an
insurance company, title insurance company or other financial institution
reasonably selected by Landlord and disbursed as provided in this Lease. If the
Net Proceeds are equal to or less than the Approval Threshold, and if no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Net Proceeds shall be paid to
Tenant promptly upon Tenant's completion of any restoration or repair, as the
case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property or any
portion thereof. If the Net Proceeds exceed the Approval Threshold, and if no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Net Proceeds shall be made
available for restoration or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or
destruction of the Leased Property or any portion thereof as provided
31
in Section 14.10 hereof; provided, however, that, within fifteen (15) days of
the receipt of the Net Proceeds, Landlord and Tenant shall agree as to the
portion thereof attributable to the Personal Property (and failing such shall
submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of this Lease) and
those Net Proceeds which the parties agree are payable by reason of any loss or
damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property shall be disbursed to Tenant.
14.2 RESTORATION IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
14.2.1 If any Leased Improvements are totally or partially damaged or
destroyed and the Facility thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable for its
Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice of such damage or
destruction within fifteen (15) Business Days of the occurrence thereof. Within
ninety (90) days of such occurrence, Tenant shall commence and thereafter
diligently proceed to complete the restoration of the damaged or destroyed
Leased Improvements to substantially the same (or better) condition as that
which existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
14.2.2 If any Leased Improvements are totally or partially damaged or
destroyed, but the Facility thereon is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its
Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice of such damage or
destruction within fifteen (15) Business Days of the occurrence thereof, and,
within ninety (90) days of the occurrence, Tenant shall commence and thereafter
diligently proceed to restore the Leased Improvements within the Reconstruction
Period to substantially the same (or better) condition as that which existed
immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
14.2.3 No such damage or destruction shall terminate this Lease as to
the Facility; provided, however, that if Tenant, after diligent effort, cannot
within a reasonable time obtain all necessary government approvals, including
building permits, licenses, conditional use permits and any certificates of
need, in order to be able to perform all required repair and restoration work
and thereafter to operate the Leased Improvements for the Primary Intended Use
thereof in substantially the same manner as that existing immediately prior to
such damage or destruction, Tenant shall purchase the Facility or Leased
Property on which the damaged or destroyed Leased Improvements are located for
the Facility Purchase Price, which shall be determined as of the day of the
damage or destruction.
14.3 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
14.4 TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY. All insurance proceeds payable by reason
of any loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property shall be paid to
Tenant.
14.5 RESTORATION OF TENANT'S PROPERTY. If Tenant is required to restore the
Leased Property as provided in Section 14.2 hereof, Tenant shall also restore or
replace all alterations and improvements made by Tenant and all of the Personal
Property, to the extent required to maintain the then current license of the
Leased Property.
32
14.6 NO ABATEMENT OF RENT. Except if the Facility or Leased Property is
purchased by Tenant pursuant to this Article 14, as to which this Lease shall
terminate upon the closing of such purchase, this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect and Tenant's obligation to pay Rent shall continue without
abatement during any period required for repair and restoration.
14.7 CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASE OF DAMAGED LEASED PROPERTY. If Tenant
purchases the damaged Facility or Leased Property pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 14, this Lease shall terminate upon payment of the price set forth
herein, Landlord shall remit to Tenant any and all Net Proceeds pertaining to
the purchased Leased Property being held by Landlord.
14.8 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section
14.2 hereof, if damage to or destruction of any Leased Improvements occurs
during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, and if, as
reasonably estimated by a qualified construction consultant selected by Tenant
and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld),
such damage or destruction cannot be fully repaired and restored within six (6)
months immediately following the date of loss, then Tenant shall have the
option, which Tenant shall exercise by written notice to Landlord within thirty
(30) days of such damage or destruction, to (a) restore the damaged Facility or
Leased Property within such six (6) month period, or (b) to purchase the
Facility or Leased Property on which the damaged or destroyed Leased
Improvements are located from Landlord, within sixty (60) days following the
date of the damage or destruction, for the Facility Purchase Price, which shall
be determined as of the day prior to the date of the damage or destruction.
14.9 WAIVER. Except as specifically provided elsewhere herein, Tenant
hereby waives any statutory or common law rights of termination which may arise
by reason of any damage to or destruction of any Facility.
14.10 PROCEDURE FOR DISBURSEMENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS GREATER THAN THE
APPROVAL THRESHOLD. If Tenant restores or repairs the damaged Facility or Leased
Property pursuant to any Subsection of this Article 14 and if the Net Proceeds
exceed the Approval Threshold, the restoration or repair shall be performed in
accordance with the following procedures:
(a) The restoration or repair work shall be done pursuant to plans and
specifications approved by Landlord (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), and Tenant shall cause to be prepared and presented to Landlord a
certified construction statement, reasonably acceptable to Landlord,
showing the total estimated cost of the restoration or repair.
(b) The Construction Funds shall be made available to Tenant as the
restoration and repair work progresses pursuant to certificates of an
architect selected by Tenant that in the reasonable judgment of Landlord is
qualified in the design and construction
33
of health care facilities, or of the type of property for which the repair
work is being done.
(c) There shall be delivered to Landlord, with such certificates,
sworn statements and lien waivers from the general contractor and major
subcontractors (i.e., those having contracts of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000.00) or more), in the form customary for the State of
Idaho, in an amount at least equal to the amount of Construction Funds to
be paid out to Tenant pursuant to each architect's certificate and dated as
of the date of the disbursement to which they relate.
(d) There shall be delivered to Landlord such other evidence as
Landlord may reasonably request, from time to time, during the restoration
and repair, as to the progress of the work, compliance with the approved
plans and specifications, the cost of restoration and repair and the total
amount needed to complete the restoration and repair.
(e) There shall be delivered to Landlord such other evidence as
Landlord may reasonably request, from time to time, showing that there are
no liens against the Leased Property arising in connection with the
restoration and repair and that the cost of the restoration and repair at
least equals the total amount of Construction Funds then disbursed to
Tenant hereunder.
(f) If the Construction Funds are at any time determined by Landlord
not to be adequate for completion of the restoration and repair, Tenant
shall demonstrate to Landlord, upon request, that Tenant has sufficient
funds available to cover the difference, and shall disburse such funds pari
passu with the Construction Funds.
(g) The Construction Funds may be disbursed by the depository thereof
to Tenant or, at Tenant's direction, to the persons entitled to receive
payment thereof from Tenant, and such disbursement in either case may, at
Landlord's discretion, reasonably exercised, be made directly or through a
third party escrow agent, such as, but not limited to, a title insurance
company, or its agent. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any excess Construction Funds shall be paid to Tenant upon
completion of the restoration or repair.
(h) If Tenant at any time fails to promptly and fully perform the
conditions and covenants set out in subparagraphs (a) through (f) hereof,
and the failure is not corrected within thirty (30) days of written Notice
thereof, or if during the restoration or repair an Event of Default occurs
hereunder, Landlord may, at its option, immediately cease making any
further payments to Tenant for the restoration and repair.
34
(i) Landlord may reimburse itself out of the Construction Fund for its
reasonable and documented expenses of consultants, attorneys and its
employee- inspectors incurred in administering the Construction Funds as
hereinbefore provided.
ARTICLE 15
TAKINGS
15.1 TOTAL TAKING. If title to the fee of the whole of the Facility or
Leased Property shall be acquired by any Condemnor as the result of a Taking,
this Lease shall cease and terminate as to the Facility or Leased Property as of
the Date of Taking by said Condemnor, and the Base Rent payable by Tenant
hereunder shall be reduced, as of the date the Lease shall have been so
terminated as to such Facility or Leased Property, by the Facility Rental Value
of the Facility taken.
15.2 ALLOCATION OF PORTION OF AWARD. The Award made with respect to the
Taking of all or any portion of the Leased Property or for loss of rent shall be
the property of and payable to Landlord up to the sum of (a) all costs and
expenses reasonably incurred and documented by Landlord in connection with the
Taking, (b) any loss of Rent suffered by Landlord as a result of the Taking
(except for any Rent accruing after the completion of a purchase by Tenant of
the affected Facility upon a Partial Taking as hereinafter provided) and (c) in
the case of a Taking of the entire Facility, the Facility Purchase Price as of
the time possession is delivered to the Condemnor. To the extent that the laws
of the State of Idaho permit Tenant to make a claim for Tenant's leasehold
interest, moving expenses, loss of goodwill or business, and Tenant's claim does
not have the effect, directly or indirectly, of reducing Landlord's claim,
Tenant shall have the right to pursue such claim in the Taking proceeding and
shall be entitled to the Award therefor. In any Taking proceedings, Landlord and
Tenant shall each seek its own Award, at its own expense.
15.3 PARTIAL TAKING. In the event of a Partial Taking of the Facility,
Tenant shall commence and diligently proceed to restore the untaken portion of
the Leased Improvements on the Leased Property so that such Leased Improvements
shall constitute a complete architectural unit (if applicable) of the same
general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the
circumstances) as the Leased Improvements existing immediately prior to such
Partial Taking; provided, however, that if a Partial Taking renders the Facility
Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall have the right,
exercisable by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such
Partial Taking is final without appeal permitted, and before the Condemnor takes
possession, to purchase the Facility for the Facility Purchase Price, which
purchase shall be completed within sixty (60) days of such notice. Landlord
shall contribute to the cost of restoration, or if Tenant elects to purchase the
Facility, Landlord shall pay over to Tenant, any Award payable to Landlord for
such Partial Taking; provided, however, that the amount of such contribution
shall not exceed the cost of restoration. If (a) Tenant elects to restore the
Facility, (b) no Event of Default is then continuing and (c) the
35
Award is equal to or less than the Approval Threshold, then Landlord's
contribution shall be made to Tenant prior to the commencement of the
restoration. If (a) Tenant elects to restore the Facility, (b) no Event of
Default is then continuing and (c) the Award is more than the Approval
Threshold, then Landlord shall make the Award available to Tenant in the manner
provided in Section 14.10 hereof for insurance proceeds in excess of the
Approval Threshold. The Base Rent shall be reduced by reason of such Partial
Taking to an amount agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and if Landlord and
Tenant cannot agree upon a new Base Rent, the new Base Rent amount shall be
equal to the Base Rent prior to the Partial Taking, reduced in proportion to the
reduction in the Fair Rental Value of the Facility or Leased Property resulting
from the Partial Taking.
15.4 TEMPORARY TAKING. In the event of a temporary Taking of the Leased
Property or any part thereof that is for a period of less than six (6) months,
this Lease shall not terminate with respect to the Leased Property, and the
entire amount of any Award therefor shall be paid to Tenant. Upon the cessation
of any such Taking of less than six (6) months, Tenant shall restore the Leased
Property as nearly as may be reasonably possible to the condition existing
immediately prior to such Taking. If any such Taking continues for six (6)
months or more, such Taking shall be considered a Taking governed by Sections
15.1 through 15.3 hereof, and the parties shall have the rights provided
thereunder.
ARTICLE 16
CONSEQUENCES OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT
16.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Landlord shall have the rights and remedies hereinafter provided (provided,
however, that if an Event of Default is cured prior to the exercise of any
remedies by Landlord, it shall cease to be such for purposes of this Lease).
16.2 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS UPON TENANT'S DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs
with respect to this Lease, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant
Notice, whereupon as provided herein, the Term of this Lease shall terminate and
all rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease. The Notice provided for herein shall
be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required by the laws of the
State of Idaho as a condition to bringing an action for possession of the Leased
Property or to recover damages under this Lease. In addition thereto, Landlord
shall have all rights at law and in equity available as a result of Tenant's
breach.
16.3 LIABILITY FOR COSTS AND EXPENSES. Tenant will, to the extent permitted
by law, be liable for the payment, as Additional Charges, of reasonable and
documented costs of and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord as a
consequence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees (whether or not litigation is
36
commenced, and if litigation is commenced, including fees and expenses incurred
in appeals and post-judgment proceedings).
16.4 CERTAIN REMEDIES. If an Event of Default has occurred, and whether or
not this Lease has been terminated, Tenant shall, to the extent permitted by
law, if required by Landlord so to do, immediately surrender to Landlord the
Leased Property and quit the same, and Landlord may enter upon and repossess the
respective Leased Property by legal process, and may remove Tenant and all other
persons and any and all Personal Property from the Leased Property, subject to
rights of any residents or patients and to any requirement of law.
16.5 DAMAGES. None of (a) the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section
16.1 hereof, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property, (c) the failure of
Landlord to relet the Leased Property, (d) the reletting of all or any portion
thereof or (e) the failure of Landlord to collect or receive any rentals due
upon any reletting shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations
hereunder, all of which shall survive such termination, repossession or
reletting. In the event of any termination, Tenant shall forthwith pay to
Landlord all Rent due and payable with respect to the Leased Property to and
including the date of the termination. At Landlord's option, as and for
liquidated and agreed current damages for Tenant's default, Tenant shall also
forthwith pay to Landlord:
(i) the sum of:
(A) the Worth at the Time of the Award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time
of the award exceeds the aggregate Rental Value of the Leased Property for
such period, and
(B) the Worth at the Time of the Award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of the award exceeds
the aggregate Rental Value of the Leased Property for such period, and
(C) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
damage proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations
under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result
therefrom; or
(ii) without termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Leased
Property, each installment of the Rent and other sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as the same becomes due and
payable, which Rent and other sums shall bear interest at the Overdue
Rate from the date when due until paid, and Landlord may enforce, by
action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease.
16.6 WAIVER. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.2 hereof,
Tenant waives the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting
property from liability for rent or for debt.
37
16.7 APPLICATION OF FUNDS. Any payments received by Landlord during the
existence or continuance of any Event of Default (and any payment made to
Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of an Event of Default) shall
be applied to Tenant's obligations in the order which Landlord may determine or
as may be prescribed by the laws of the State of Idaho.
ARTICLE 17
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE TENANT'S DEFAULT
If Tenant fails to make any payment or to perform any act required to
be made or performed under this Lease, and fails to cure the same within the
relevant time periods provided in the definition of Event of Default in Section
2.1 hereof or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated
to), after five (5) days' prior Notice to Tenant (except in an emergency), and
without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant or any Event of Default,
at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and
at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon
the Facility for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord's
sole opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. However, if Landlord
reasonably determines that the giving of such Notice as is provided for in this
Article or elsewhere in this Lease would risk loss to the Leased Property or
cause damage to Landlord, then Landlord will give such Notice as is practical
under the circumstances. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant.
All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonable costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) so incurred,
together with the late charge and interest provided for in Section 3.3 thereon
from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord,
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. The obligations of Tenant and
rights of Landlord contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 18
CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
18.1 PROHIBITION AGAINST USE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Tenant shall not
permit, conduct or allow on the Leased Property the generation, introduction,
presence, maintenance, use, receipt, acceptance, treatment, manufacture,
production, installation, management, storage, disposal or release of any
Hazardous Substance, except for those types and quantities of Hazardous
Substances ordinarily associated with the operation of the Leased Property as it
is being conducted on the date of this Lease and except in compliance with
Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the asbestos-containing materials,
the underground storage tanks and the other Hazardous Substances that currently
are located in, on, under or about the
38
Leased Property, in each case as disclosed in the Environmental Audit delivered
to Landlord prior to the date of this Lease, shall be permitted to remain in
place.
18.2 NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS, ACTIONS OR CONTAMINATIONS. Tenant will
notify Landlord, in writing, promptly upon learning of any existing, pending or
threatened: (a) Regulatory Actions, (b) Contamination of the Leased Property,
(c) Third Party Claims or (d) violation of Environmental Law.
18.3 COSTS OF REMEDIAL ACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. If
any investigation and/or Clean-Up of any Hazardous Substance or other
environmental condition on, under, about or with respect to the Leased Property
is required by any Environmental Law and by the terms of this Lease is within
the scope of Tenant's responsibility, then Tenant shall complete, at its own
expense, such investigation and/or Clean-Up or cause each person responsible for
any of the foregoing to conduct such investigation and/or Clean-Up.
18.4 DELIVERY OF ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS. If and to the extent not
delivered to Landlord prior to the date of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord complete copies of any and all Environmental Documents that may now be
in, or at any time hereafter come into, the possession of Tenant.
18.5 ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT. At Landlord's expense, Tenant shall from time to
time, but in no case more often than annually, after Landlord's request
therefor, provide to Landlord an Environmental Audit with respect to the Leased
Property. All tests and samplings in connection with an Environmental Audit
shall be conducted using generally accepted and scientifically valid technology
and methodologies. Tenant shall give the engineer or environmental consultant
conducting the Environmental Audit reasonable access to the Leased Property and
to all records in the possession of Tenant that may indicate the presence
(whether current or past) or a Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous
Substances on, in, under or about the Leased Property. Tenant shall also provide
the engineer or environmental consultant an opportunity to interview such
persons employed in connection with the Leased Property as the engineer or
consultant deems appropriate. However, Landlord shall not be entitled to request
such Environmental Audit from Tenant unless (a) there have been any material
changes, modifications or additions to any Environmental Laws as applied to or
affecting the Leased Property; (b) a significant change in the condition of the
Leased Property has occurred; or (c) Landlord has another reasonable basis for
requesting such certificate or certificates. If an Environmental Audit discloses
the presence of Contamination at, or any noncompliance with Environmental Laws
by, the Leased Property, Tenant shall immediately perform all of Tenant's
obligations hereunder with respect to such Hazardous Substances or
noncompliance.
18.6 ENTRY ONTO LEASED PROPERTY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. If Tenant fails
to provide to Landlord an Environmental Audit as contemplated by Section 18.5
hereof, Tenant shall permit Landlord from time to time, by its employees,
agents, contractors or representatives, to enter upon the Leased Property for
the purposes of conducting such
39
Investigations as Landlord may desire. Landlord and its employees, agents,
contractors, consultants and/or representatives shall conduct any such
Investigation in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's
use of and operations on the Leased Property (however, reasonable temporary
interference with such use and operations is permissible if the Investigation
cannot otherwise be reasonably and inexpensively conducted). Other than in an
emergency, Landlord shall provide Tenant with prior notice before entering the
Leased Property to conduct such Investigation, and shall provide copies of any
reports or results to Tenant, and Tenant shall cooperate fully in such
Investigation.
18.7 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS UPON TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF TERM OF THIS
LEASE. Upon the termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant
shall cause the Leased Property to be delivered to Landlord free of all
Contamination the removal of which is recommended by the Phase I Environmental
Survey (or the equivalent at the time) completed by the engineering firm chosen
by the parties or otherwise selected as provided below, and in compliance with
all Environmental Laws with respect thereto. At any time during (a) the three
hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to, or the sixty (60) days subsequent to,
the expiration of the original Term hereof, if Tenant has not given the notice
required by Section 1.4 hereof in order to renew the Term or by the terms hereof
is not entitled to renew the Term, or, if the original Term has been renewed, at
any time during (b) the three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to, or the
sixty (60) days subsequent to, the expiration of the First Renewal Term hereof,
if Tenant has not given the notice required by Section 1.5 hereof in order to
renew the Term or by the terms hereof is not entitled to renew the Term, or, if
this Lease is terminated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, during (c)
the sixty (60) days after the effective date of such termination, Landlord may
by written notice to Tenant specify a Cleanup to be undertaken by Tenant, and
upon receipt of such notice Tenant shall forthwith begin and with reasonable
diligence complete such Cleanup; provided, however, that if Tenant in good faith
disputes the need for such Cleanup on the grounds that it is not required by any
then applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant may by written notice to Landlord
demand an Environmental Audit of the Leased Property. The Environmental Audit
demanded by Tenant shall be performed by one of the engineering firms listed on
Exhibit H hereto or, if no such firms exist at the time, by an engineering firm
succeeding to the practice of one of such firms. The question of whether or not
a Cleanup is required by an applicable Environmental Law, and, if so, the extent
of such required Cleanup, shall be determined by the conclusions reached in the
Environmental Audit conducted by the engineering firm so selected, and such
determination shall be binding upon the parties. The cost of such Environmental
Audit shall be borne by Landlord if the determination is that no Cleanup is
required, or by Tenant if the determination is that a Cleanup is required.
Tenant shall promptly at its expense complete any Cleanup determined by such
process to be necessary.
18.8 COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Tenant shall comply with, and
cause its agents, servants and employees to comply with Environmental Laws
applicable to the Leased Property. Specifically, but without limitation:
40
(a) Maintenance of Licenses and Permits. Tenant shall obtain and
maintain all permits, certificates, licenses and other consents and
approvals required by any applicable Environmental Law from time to time
with respect to Tenant and the Leased Property leased by it;
(b) Contamination. No Tenant shall cause, suffer or permit any
Contamination in, on, under or about the Leased Property;
(c) Clean-Up. If Contamination occurs in, on, under or about the
Leased Property during the Term, Tenant promptly shall cause the Clean-Up
and the removal of any Hazardous Substance, and in any such case such
Clean-Up and removal of the Hazardous Substance shall be effected in strict
compliance with and in accordance with the provisions of the applicable
Environmental Laws;
(d) Discharge of Lien. Within forty-five (45) days of the date on
which Tenant becomes aware of any lien imposed against the Leased Property
or any part thereof under any Environmental Law (or, in the event that
under the applicable Environmental Law, Tenant is unable, acting
diligently, to do so within forty-five (45) days, then within such period
as is required for Tenant, acting diligently, to do so), Tenant shall cause
such lien to be discharged by payment, bond or otherwise;
(e) Notification of Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing
promptly upon receipt by Tenant of notice of any breach or violation of any
environmental covenant or agreement; and
(f) Requests, Orders and Notices. Promptly upon receipt of any written
request, order or other notice relating to any Declaratory Action,
Contamination, Third Party Claims or Leased Property under any
Environmental Law concerning the Leased Property, Tenant shall forward a
copy thereof to Landlord.
18.9 ENVIRONMENTAL RELATED REMEDIES. If, subject to Tenant's right of
contest as set forth in Section 12.1 hereof, Tenant fails to perform any of its
covenants with respect to environmental matters and if such breach is not cured
within any applicable notice and/or grace period or within an additional thirty
(30) days after Landlord gives Notice to Tenant, Landlord may do any one or more
of the following (the exercise of one right or remedy hereunder not precluding
the simultaneous or subsequent taking of any other right hereunder):
(a) Cause a Clean-Up. Cause the Clean-Up of any Contamination on or
under the Leased Property, or both, at Tenant's cost and expense; or
(b) Payment of Regulatory Damages. Pay, on behalf of Tenant, any
damages, costs, fines or penalties imposed on Tenant as a result of any
Regulatory Actions; or
41
(c) Payments to Discharge Liens. Make any payment on behalf of Tenant
or perform any other act or cause any act to be performed which will
prevent a lien in favor of any federal, state or local governmental
authority from attaching to the Leased Property or which will cause the
discharge of any lien then attached to the Leased Property; or
(d) Payment of Third Party Damages. Pay, on behalf of Tenant, any
damages, cost, fines or penalties imposed on Tenant as a result of any
Third Party Claims; or
(e) Demand of Payment. Demand that Tenant make immediate payment of
all of the costs of such Clean-Up and/or exercise of the remedies set forth
in this Section 18.9 incurred by Landlord and not theretofore paid by
Tenant as of the date of such demand, whether or not such costs exceed the
amount of Rent and Additional Charges that are otherwise to be paid
pursuant to this Lease, and whether or not any court has ordered the
Clean-Up, and payment of said costs shall become immediately due, without
notice.
18.10 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant shall and does hereby agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its principals, officers,
directors, agents and employees from and against each and every incurred and
potential claim, cause of action, demand or proceeding, obligation, fine,
laboratory fee, liability, loss, penalty, imposition, settlement, xxxx, xxxx
removal, litigation, judgment, disbursement, expense and/or cost (including,
without limitation, the cost of each and every Clean-Up and including, but not
limited to, reasonable and documented attorneys' fees, consultants' fees,
experts' fees and related expenses, capital, operating and maintenance costs,
incurred in connection with (a) any investigation or monitoring of site
conditions at the Leased Property, (b) the presence of any asbestos-containing
materials in, on, under or about the Leased Property and (c) any Clean Up
required or performed by any federal, state or local governmental entity or
performed by any other entity or person because of the presence of any Hazardous
Substance, Release, threatened Release or any Contamination on, in, under or
about the Leased Property) which may be asserted against, imposed on, or
suffered or incurred by each and every Indemnitee arising out of or in any way
related to, or allegedly arising out of or due to any environmental matter,
including, but not limited to, any one or more of the following:
(i) Release Damage or Liability. The presence of Contamination in, on,
at, under or near the Leased Property or migrating to the Leased Property
from another location;
(ii) Injuries. All injuries to health or safety (including wrongful
death), or to the environment, by reason of environmental matters relating
to the condition of or activities past or present on, at, in or under the
Leased Property;
42
(iii) Violations of Law. All violations, and alleged violations, of
any Environmental Law by Tenant relating to the Leased Property or any
activity on, in, at, under or near the Leased Property;

environmental matters in any documents or materials furnished by Tenant to
Landlord and/or its representatives in connection with this Lease;

each case based upon or in any way related to any Hazardous Substances at,
on, in or under the Leased Property; and
(vii) Presence of Liens. All liens imposed upon the Leased Property
and charges imposed on any Indemnitee in favor of any governmental entity

If the matter that is the subject of a claim for indemnification by any
Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 18.10 arises or is in connection with a
claim, suit or demand filed by a third party, Tenant shall be entitled to
defend against such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
applicable Indemnitee(s). The Indemnitee(s) may continue to employ counsel
of its own, but such costs shall be borne by the Indemnitee(s) as long as
Tenant continues to so defend. With respect to such Claims arising from
third parties (A) if an Indemnitee declines to accept a bona fide offer of
settlement that is recommended by Tenant, which settlement includes a full
and complete release of such Indemnitee from the subject Claim, the maximum
liability of Tenant arising from such claim shall not exceed that amount
for which it would have been liable had such settlement been accepted, and
(B) if an Indemnitee settles the subject Claim without the consent of
Tenant, the maximum liability of Tenant under this Section arising from
such Claim shall not exceed the fair and reasonable settlement value of
such Claim.
18.11 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE AND SURVIVAL. The rights granted Landlord under
this Article are in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or
remedies available to Landlord hereunder or allowed at law or in equity. The
obligations of Tenant to defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnitees harmless, as

other matter occurring or existing during the Term, whether or not the act,
omission, condition or matter as to which such obligations relate is discovered
during the Term, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
of this Lease.
43
ARTICLE 19
HOLDOVER MATTERS
19.1 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Property
after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, such
possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant during which time Tenant shall
pay as rental each month one and one-half times the aggregate of (a) one-twelfth
of the aggregate Base Rent payable with respect to the Leased Property during
the last Lease Year of the preceding Term, and (b) all Additional Charges
accruing during the month with respect to the Leased Property. Any interest,
however, will be payable only at the rate provided in this Lease and shall not
exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. During such period of month-to-month
tenancy, Tenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other
than the right, to the extent given by law to month-to-month tenancies, to
continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property until the month-to-month
tenancy is terminated. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent,
express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over by Tenant after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
19.2 INDEMNITY. If Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Property in a
timely manner and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1.6 hereof upon
the expiration or termination of this Lease, in addition to any other
liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord, its principals, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless
from loss or liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, loss of rental with respect to any new lease in
which the rental payable thereunder exceeds any rental paid by Tenant pursuant
to this Lease and any claims by any proposed new tenant founded on such failure.
The provisions of this Section 19.2 shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Lease.
ARTICLE 20
SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPELS
20.1 SUBORDINATION. Upon written request of Landlord, Tenant will
subordinate its rights pursuant to this Lease in writing (a) to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or the interest of any lease in which Landlord is the
Tenant and to all modifications, extensions, substitutions thereof (or, at
Landlord's option, cause the lien of said mortgage, deed of trust or the
interest of any lease in which Landlord is the Tenant to be subordinated to this
Lease), and (b) to all advances made or hereafter to be made thereunder. As a
condition to each such subordination, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
non-disturbance agreement providing inter alia that, if such mortgagee,
beneficiary or Landlord acquires the Leased Property by way of foreclosure or
deed in lieu, such mortgagee, beneficiary or Landlord will not disturb Tenant's
44
possession under this Lease and will recognize Tenant's rights hereunder
provided this Lease has not been terminated under Section 16.2 hereof.
20.2 ATTORNMENT. If any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or if the
power of sale is exercised under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord
encumbering the Leased Property, or if a lease in which Landlord is the Tenant
is terminated, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser or Landlord under such lease
upon any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, sale or lease termination and
recognize the purchaser or Landlord as Landlord under this Lease, provided that
the purchaser or Landlord acquires and accepts the Leased Property subject to,
and upon the terms and conditions set forth in, this Lease.
20.3 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees, upon not
less than ten (10) days prior Notice from the other, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the other an Estoppel Certificate. It is intended that any Estoppel
Certificate delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by Landlord, Tenant,
any prospective tenant, subtenant, assignee or purchaser of the Leased Property,
any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee, or by any other party who may reasonably
rely on such statement.
ARTICLE 21
RISK OF LOSS
During the Term of this Lease, the risk of loss or of 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 those caused by Landlord and those claiming from, through or under
Landlord) is assumed by Tenant, and, in the absence of gross negligence, willful
misconduct or material breach of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord shall in no
event be answerable or accountable therefor nor shall any of the events
mentioned in this Section entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent under this
Lease.
ARTICLE 22
INDEMNIFICATION
22.1 INDEMNIFICATION. Subject to Section 13.4 hereof, notwithstanding the
existence of any insurance or self-insurance provided for in Article 13 hereof,
and without regard to the policy limits of such insurance or self-insurance,

obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation,
45
reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and expenses), to the maximum extent
permitted by law, whenever asserted, or incurred by or asserted against Landlord
by reason of:
(a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage
to property occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining

implied, assumed or undertaken by Tenant or any party in privity with
Tenant with respect to the Leased Property or any business or other
activity carried on with respect to the Leased Property during the Term or
thereafter during any time in which Tenant or any such other party is in
possession of the Leased Property or thereafter to the extent that any
conduct by Tenant or any such person (or failure of such conduct thereby if
the same should have been undertaken during such time of possession and
leads to such damage or loss) causes such loss or claim;
(f) the use, operation, possession, or management of the Facility by
Tenant before or after the Commencement Date and during the Term of this
Lease until the Lease Termination Date;
(g) the breach or by Tenant of any representation, or warranty in this
Lease;
(h) any and all Claims accruing before or after the Commencement Date
relating to any current or former employee, consultant or independent
contractor of Tenant or the Facility, including, but not limited to, the

liability under this Article shall survive any termination of this Lease. Tenant
shall have the right (at Tenant's expense) to defend Landlord against any such

LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS
23.1 GENERAL PROHIBITION AGAINST TRANSFER; PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Tenant
shall not Transfer its interest in this Lease or the Leased Property, except as
specifically permitted by this Lease or consented to in advance by Landlord in
writing. Any such attempted Transfer not specifically permitted by this Lease or
otherwise approved by Landlord shall be null and void and of no force and
effect; but in the event of any such Transfer, Landlord may collect rent and
other charges from the Transferee and apply the amounts collected to the rent
and other charges herein reserved, but no Transfer or collection of rent and
other charges shall be deemed to be a waiver of Landlord's rights to enforce
Tenant's covenants or the acceptance of the Transferee as Tenant, or a release
of Tenant from the performance of any covenants on the part of Tenant to be
performed. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant and any Guarantor shall remain
fully liable for the performance of all terms, covenants and provisions of this
Lease, both before and after any such Transfer. Any violation of this Lease by
any Transferee shall be deemed to be a violation of this Lease by Tenant.
Landlord agrees that, so long as there is no Event of Default under
this Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a
single transfer, assignment or subletting of Tenant's entire interest in this
Lease to a non-Affiliated third party Transferee.
47
If Tenant desires at any time to so transfer, assign or sublet its entire
interest in this Lease to such a Transferee, Tenant shall first notify Landlord
in writing of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord (a)
the name of the proposed Transferee; (b) the historical experience of the
proposed Transferee with respect to businesses of the type and size conducted on
the Leased Property; (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed transfer,

copy of the agreement or other documents which contain or memorialize such terms
and provisions; and (d) such financial, operating and other information with
respect to such proposed Transferee as Landlord may request (including audited
financial statements of such Transferee). At any time within thirty (30) days
after Landlord's receipt of all the information specified in clauses (a) through
(d) above, Landlord may by written notice to Tenant (i) consent to the proposed
transfer, assignment or subletting to the proposed Transferee or (ii) refuse to
give its consent, specifying in reasonable detail the reasons therefor. In the
event that Landlord shall so consent, Tenant shall be permitted to assign or
sublet its entire interest in this Lease to such proposed Transferee, provided
that each of the following is met:
(A) The proposed Transferee shall unconditionally assume and agree to
keep, perform and observe all of the covenants, conditions, duties,
obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease (whether occurring
prior to or after the effective date of such transfer or conveyance)
pursuant to a writing in form and substance acceptable to Landlord;
(B) This Lease shall remain in full force and effect;
(C) No such transfer, conveyance or subletting by Tenant to such
proposed Transferee shall relieve Tenant of its respective duties,
obligations and/or liabilities under this Lease or the other Transaction
Documents and each of such parties shall consent and/or reaffirm its
respective obligations hereunder and thereunder pursuant to a writing in
form and substance acceptable to Landlord;
(D) All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) incurred in connection with the
review and processing of such request and in preparation, negotiation and
execution of any documents or instruments delivered or prepared in
connection therewith shall be paid solely by Tenant and/or the proposed
Transferee.
In exercising Landlord's right of reasonable approval or disapproval
with respect to any such proposed Transferee, Landlord shall be entitled to take
into account any fact or factor which Landlord deems relevant to such decision.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of the following are
agreed to be reasonable factors for Landlord's consideration in approving any
such proposed Transferee:
48
(A) The financial strength of the proposed Transferee, including the
adequacy of its working capital to pay all sums and other amounts payable
under this Lease and the Transaction Documents;
(B) The experience of the proposed Transferee with respect to
businesses of the type and size conducted on the Leased Property;
(C) The quality and nature of other businesses operated by such
proposed Transferee in comparison to the quality and nature of the business
conducted on the Leased Property;
(D) Diminution or potential diminution of Landlord's security by
reason of any such assignment or subletting on the Leased Property to such
proposed Transferee; and
(E) Any other fact or factor which Landlord would take into
consideration if such proposed Transferee were to apply directly to
Landlord for a lease of the type represented by this Lease and the
Transaction Documents.
23.2 CORPORATE OR PARTNERSHIP TRANSACTIONS. If Tenant or Guarantor is a
corporation, then the merger, consolidation or reorganization of such
corporation and/or the sale, issuance or transfer, cumulatively or in one
transaction, of any voting stock by Tenant or Guarantor or the stockholders of
record of any of them as of the date of this Lease which results in a change in
the voting control of Tenant or Guarantor shall constitute a Transfer. If Tenant
or Guarantor is a joint venture, partnership or other association, then the
transfer of or change in, cumulatively or in one transaction, voting control of
or a twenty percent (20%) or greater interest in such Tenant or Guarantor within
any five-year period, or the termination of such joint venture, partnership or
other association, shall constitute a Transfer.
23.3 PERMITTED SUBLEASES. Subject to Section 23.4 hereof, Tenant shall have
the right to sublease up to ten percent (10%) of the floor area of the Facility
in the ordinary course of the health care business being conducted in the
Facility without Landlord's consent, and subject to Landlord's consent, which
shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed an additional ten
percent (10%) of the floor area of the Facility.
23.4 TRANSFERS TO A CONTROLLED ENTITY. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein contained, Tenant may without the prior consent of Landlord
Transfer its interest herein to an entity Controlled by Peak Medical on the
condition that (a) such entity expressly and in writing assumes all of the
obligations and liability of the Tenant hereunder, (b) such Transfer has no
effect on the Peak Medical Guaranty and Peak Medical confirms in writing that
the Peak Medical Guaranty remains unchanged and in full force and effect, (c)
the stock of such entity (if a corporation) is at the time of the Transfer
pledged to Landlord to secure performance of its obligations under this Lease,
(d) all obligations of such entity to Peak Medical or any Affiliate of Peak
Medical, and all Debt of such entity to any third party, are
49
subordinated to its liability and obligations as Tenant hereunder and (e)
without the consent of Landlord, no such Transfer shall release the Tenant named
herein from liability hereunder.
23.5 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. Tenant shall insert in any sublease
permitted by Landlord provisions to the effect that (a) such sublease is subject
and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the
rights of Landlord hereunder, (b) if this Lease terminates before the expiration
of such sublease, the subtenant thereunder will, at Landlord's option, attorn to
Landlord and waive any right the subtenant may have to terminate the sublease or
to surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease,
and (c) if the subtenant receives a written Notice from Landlord or Landlord's
assignee, if any, stating that an Event of Default has occurred under this
Lease, the subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing
under said sublease directly to the party giving such Notice or as such party
may direct. All rentals received from the subtenant by Landlord or Landlord's
assignees, if any, as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts
owing by Tenant under this Lease.
23.6 SUBLEASE LIMITATION. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, even if a sublease of the Leased Property is permitted, Tenant
shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be
paid by the subtenant thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either
(a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the subtenant,
or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the sublease rental received
by Landlord would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the
meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision
thereto. The parties agree that this Section shall not be deemed waived or
modified by implication, but may be waived or modified only by an instrument in
writing explicitly referring to this Section by number.

ARTICLE 33
APPRAISERS
If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Rental Value of the
Leased Property for any purpose of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt
to agree upon a single appraiser to make such determination. If Landlord and
Tenant are unable to agree upon a single appraiser within thirty (30) days
thereafter, then the party required or permitted to give Notice of such required
determination shall include in the Notice the name of a person selected to act
as appraiser on its behalf. Within ten (10) days after such Notice, Landlord (or
Tenant, as the case may be) shall by Notice to Tenant (or Landlord, as the case
may be) appoint a second person as appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers thus
appointed, each of whom must be a member of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (or any successor organization thereto) and experienced in
appraising nursing home properties, shall, within forty-five (45) days after the
date of the Notice appointing the first appraiser, proceed to appraise the
Leased Property to determine the Fair Rental Value of it as of the relevant date
(giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation from the date of their
decision to the relevant date); provided, however, that if only one appraiser
has been so appointed, or if two
54
appraisers have been so appointed but only one such appraiser has made such
determination within fifty (50) days after the making of Tenant's or Landlord's
request, then the determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding
upon the parties. If two appraisers have been appointed and have made their
determinations within the respective requisite periods set forth above and if
the difference between the amounts so determined does not exceed ten percent
(10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then the Fair Rental Value shall be an
amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the amounts so determined. If
the difference between the amounts so determined exceeds ten percent (10%) of
the lesser of such amounts, then such two appraisers shall have twenty (20) days
to appoint a third appraiser. If no such appraiser has been appointed within
such twenty (20) day period or within ninety (90) days of the original request
for a determination of Fair Rental Value, whichever is earlier, either Landlord
or Tenant may apply to any court having jurisdiction to have such appointment
made by such court. Any appraiser appointed by the original appraisers or by
such court shall be instructed to determine the Fair Rental Value within
forty-five (45) days after appointment of such appraiser. The determination of
the appraiser which differs most in terms of dollar amount from the
determinations of the other two appraisers shall be excluded, and the average of
the sum of the remaining two determinations shall be final and binding upon
Landlord and Tenant as the Fair Rental Value of the Leased Property. Any such
appraisal shall conform to FDIC or equivalent requirements and format.
This provision for determining the Fair Rental Value 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
and judgment may be entered upon such determination in any court having
jurisdiction of the matter. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fees and
expenses of the appraiser appointed by it, and each shall pay one-half of the
fees and expenses of the third appraiser and one-half of all other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.
ARTICLE 34
BREACH OF LEASE BY LANDLORD
Landlord shall not be in breach of this Lease unless Landlord fails to
observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on its part to
be performed and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after
written Notice specifying such failure and the necessary curative action is
received by Landlord from Tenant. If the failure cannot with due diligence be
cured within a period of thirty (30) days, the failure shall not be deemed to
continue if Landlord, within said thirty (30) day period, proceeds promptly and
with due diligence to cure the failure and diligently completes the curing
thereof. The time within which Landlord shall be obligated to cure any such
failure shall also be subject to extension of time due to the occurrence of any
Unavoidable Delay.

and for all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts and any other
encumbrances to which Tenant's Personal Property is subject. Landlord's option

any other reason, and shall use its best efforts, (without incurring material
cost or liability except after Event of Default), to accomplish such transfer
with minimal disruption of the business conducted at the Facility. To that end,
pending completion of the transfer of operational control of the Facility to
Landlord or its nominee, Tenant agrees that:
(a) Tenant will not terminate the employment of any employees without
just cause, or change any salaries (other than normal merit raises and the
pre-announced
56
wage increases of which Landlord has knowledge) or employment agreements
without Landlord's consent of Landlord other than customary raises to
non-officers at regular review dates, and will not hire additional
employees except in good faith in the ordinary course of business.
(b) Tenant will provide all necessary information requested by
Landlord or its nominee for the preparation and filing of any and all
necessary applications or notifications of any federal or state
governmental authority having jurisdiction over a change in the operational
control of the Facility, and Tenant will use its best efforts, (without
incurring material cost or liability except after an Event of Default), to
cause the operating health care license to be transferred to Landlord or
Landlord's nominee.
(c) Tenant shall continue to operate the business in accordance with
reasonable and standard industry practices to keep the business and
organization of the Facility intact and to preserve for Landlord or its

respect to the Facility which are in the ordinary course of its business
and shall perform all maintenance and repairs reasonably necessary to keep

maintain the supplies and foodstuffs at levels which are consistent and in
compliance with all health care regulations, and shall not sell or remove
any personal property except in the ordinary course of business.
(e) Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord or its nominee in
supplying any information that may be reasonably required to effect an
orderly transfer of the Facility.
(f) Tenant shall provide Landlord or its nominee with full and
complete information regarding the employees of the Facility and shall
reimburse Landlord or its nominee for all outstanding accrued employee
benefits, including accrued vacation, sick and holiday pay calculated on a
true accrual basis, including all earned and a prorated portion of all
unearned benefits.
(g) Tenant shall use its best efforts, (without incurring material
cost or liability except after Event of Default), to obtain the
acknowledgment and the consent of any creditor, Landlord or sublandlord,
mortgagee, beneficiary of a deed of trust or security agreement affecting
the real and personal properties of Tenant or any other party whose
acknowledgment and/or consent would be required because of a change in the
operational control of the Facility and transfer of personal property.

35.4 INTANGIBLES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Lease, but subject to Section 6.4 hereof (relating to Landlord's
security interest), Landlord's Personal Property shall not include goodwill, or
other intangible personal property severable from Landlord's "interests in real
property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code. All of Landlord's

ARTICLE 38
SECURITY DEPOSIT
38.1 SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrent with Tenant's execution of this Lease,
Tenant shall deliver the Security Deposit to Landlord, to be held by Landlord as
security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term,
provision, covenant and condition of this Lease. The Security Deposit shall be
deposited by Landlord in an interest-bearing account in Landlord's name,
separate and apart from Landlord's general and/or other funds, which cash and
interest shall remain on deposit as security hereunder and be available to
Landlord as provided in this Article. The Security Deposit shall not be
considered an advance payment of Rent (or of any other sum payable to Tenant
under this Lease) or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of a default by
Tenant. The Security Deposit shall not be considered as a trust fund, and Tenant
agrees that Landlord is not acting as a trustee or in any fiduciary capacity in
controlling or using the Security Deposit.
38.2 APPLICATION OF SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon the occurrence and continuation
of an Event of Default, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, in addition
to any other rights and remedies available to Landlord, use, apply or retain the
whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the payment of any sum in default,
or any other sum, including, but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in
reletting the applicable Leased Property, which Landlord may expend or be
required to expend by reason of Tenant's default. Whenever, and as often as,
Landlord has used the Security Deposit to cure Tenant's default hereunder,
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Notice from Landlord, deposit
additional funds with Landlord sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the
full amount originally provided or paid.
38.3 TRANSFER OF SECURITY DEPOSIT. If Landlord transfers its interest under
this Lease, Landlord shall assign the Security Deposit to the new Landlord, and,
provided that the transferee gives Notice to Tenant that such transferee has
received the Security Deposit, thereafter Landlord shall have no further
liability for the return of the Security Deposit, and Tenant agrees to look
solely to the new Landlord for the return of the Security Deposit. The
provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to every transfer or assignment
of Landlord's interest under this Lease. Tenant agrees that it will not assign
or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited as security
and that Landlord, its successors and assigns may return the Security Deposit to
the last Tenant in possession at the last address for Notice given by Tenant and
that Landlord shall thereafter be relieved of any liability therefor, regardless
of one or more assignments of this Lease or any such actual or attempted
assignment or encumbrances of the monies held as the Security Deposit.

ARTICLE 39
TENANT PURCHASE OPTION
Tenant is hereby granted the right and option to purchase the Leased
Property from Landlord. The purchase option may be exercised by Tenant during
the period commencing on the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days, and
ending on the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days, before each of (a) the
Expiration Date, (b) the expiration of the First Renewal Term and (c) the
expiration of the Second Renewal Term; provided, however, the purchase option
may only be exercised under clauses (a) and (b) hereof if Tenant has not elected
to renew this Lease for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as
the case may be. Tenant shall exercise the purchase option by giving written
notice thereof to Landlord either prior to or on the expiration date. Within
thirty (30) days of the date that Tenant exercises the purchase option, Landlord
shall sell the Leased Property to Tenant and Tenant shall purchase the Leased
Property from Landlord at a purchase price based upon the Leased Property's fair
market value at the time Tenant exercises the purchase option, determined in
accordance with the provisions of Article 33 hereof. At the closing of the sale
of the Leased Property to Tenant, Tenant shall convey the purchase price to
Landlord and Landlord shall convey to Tenant a special warranty deed conveying
good, indefeasible and insurable title to the Leased Property, subject to
reasonably appropriate permitted exceptions. Tenant shall pay all fees and
expenses associated with the conveyance of the Leased Property pursuant to
Tenant's exercise of the purchase option, including, but not limited to, all
transfer taxes, recording fees and Landlord's attorney's fees, costs and
disbursements. If Tenant fails to exercise the option to purchase the Leased
Property in the manner provided in this Article 39, the purchase option shall
expire and no party hereto shall thereafter have any rights, liabilities or
obligations whatsoever under this Lease.
