Tenant, at its expense, shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by governmental authorities. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund due from any taxing authority if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing and if Tenant shall have paid all Impositions due and payable as of the date of the refund.

Any refunds retained by Landlord due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided in §8.8. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event governmental authorities classify any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, 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. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Tenant will be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest. Tenant may, upon notice to Landlord, at Tenant’s option and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Tenant may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments and Landlord, at Tenant’s expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Tenant in such protest, appeal, or other action. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all personal property taxes paid by Landlord within 30 days after receipt of xxxxxxxx accompanied by copies of a xxxx therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are made.

If an Event of Default occurs and while it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s election, deposit with Landlord on the first day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the Impositions assessed against the Leased Property for the preceding tax year, which sums shall be used by Landlord toward payment of such Impositions.

- 13 -

accommodation to Tenant and the utility companies and shall not constitute rent or income to Landlord. Tenant shall at all times maintain that amount of heat necessary to ensure against the freezing of water lines. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any liability or damages to the utility systems and the Leased Property that may result from Tenant’s failure to maintain sufficient heat in the Improvements.

3.5 Discontinuance of Utilities. Landlord will not be liable for damages to person or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business for any discontinuance of utilities nor will such discontinuance in any way be construed as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall execute and deliver to Tenant such authorizations and other documents as may be reasonably required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so desires, Landlord shall join as a party therein.

Provided, however, Tenant shall have no indemnity obligation with respect to [i] Hazardous Materials first introduced to the Leased Property subsequent to the date that Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Property shall have fully terminated; or [ii] Hazardous Materials introduced to the Leased Property by Landlord, its agent, employees, successors or assigns. If at any time during the Term of this Lease any governmental authority notifies Landlord or Tenant of a violation of any Environmental Law or Landlord reasonably believes that a Facility may violate any Environmental Law, Landlord may require one or more environmental audits of such portion of the Leased Property, in such form, scope and substance as specified by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense.

court order, requisition, order of governmental body or authority, fire, explosion, falling objects, steam, water, rain or snow, leak or flow of water (including water from the elevator system), rain or snow from the Leased Property or into the Leased Property or from the roof, street, subsurface or from any other place, or by dampness or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction, or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, or lighting fixtures of the Leased Property, or from construction, repair, or alteration of the Leased Property or from any acts or omissions of any other occupant or visitor of the Leased Property, or from any other cause beyond Landlord’s control.

8.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease or any Lease Document and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter until Landlord waives the default in writing or acknowledges cure of the default in writing, at Landlord’s option, without declaration, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of default, notice to quit or any other notice or demand of any kind, Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies provided in this Lease or any Lease Document or otherwise provided under law or in equity, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following remedies:

(a) Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property or any portion thereof without terminating this Lease, and lease such Leased Property for the account of Tenant, holding Tenant liable for all costs of Landlord in reletting such Leased Property and for the difference in the amount received by such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease.

(b) Landlord may terminate this Lease with respect to all or any portion of the Leased Property by written notice to Tenant, exclude Tenant from possession of such Leased Property and use efforts to lease such Leased Property to others, holding Tenant

- 24 -

liable for the difference in the amounts received from such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease.

(c) Landlord may re-enter the Leased Property or any portion thereof and have, repossess and enjoy such Leased Property as if this Lease had not been made, and in such event, Tenant and its successors and assigns shall remain liable for any contingent or unliquidated obligations or sums owing at the time of such repossession.

(d) Landlord may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the books and records and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other returns of Tenant insofar as they pertain to the Leased Property.

(e) Landlord may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent hereunder so that the aggregate Rent for the unexpired term of this Lease becomes immediately due and payable.

(f) Landlord may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Rent and other amounts payable under this Lease then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligations, agreements or covenants of Tenant under this Lease.

(g) With respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof and Landlord’s security interest therein, Landlord may exercise all of its rights as secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State. Landlord may sell the Collateral by public or private sale upon five days notice to Tenant or Subtenant. Tenant and Subtenant agree that a commercially reasonable manner of disposition of the Collateral shall include, without limitation and at the option of Landlord, a sale of the Collateral, in whole or in part, concurrently with the sale of the Leased Property.

(h) Landlord may obtain control over and collect the Receivables and apply the proceeds of the collections to satisfaction of the Secured Obligations unless prohibited by law. Tenant and Subtenant appoint Landlord or its designee as attorney for Tenant and Subtenant, respectively, with powers [i] to receive, to endorse, to sign and/or to deliver, in Tenant’s or Subtenant’s name or Landlord’s name, any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and to waive demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, and any other notice with respect to any such instrument; [ii] to sign Tenant’s or Subtenant’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Receivable, drafts against account debtors, assignments and verifications of Receivables, and notices to account debtors; [iii] to send verifications of Receivables to any account debtor; and [iv] to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any omissions, commissions, errors of judgment, or mistakes in fact or law made in the exercise of any such powers, except for Landlord’s gross negligence and willful misconduct. At Landlord’s option, Tenant and Subtenant shall [i] provide Landlord a full accounting of all amounts received on account of Receivables with such frequency and in such form as Landlord may require, either with or without applying all collections on Receivables in payment of the Secured Obligations or [ii] deliver to Landlord on the day of receipt all such collections in the form received and duly endorsed by Tenant or Subtenant, as applicable. At Landlord’s request, Tenant and Subtenant shall institute any action or enter into any settlement determined by

- 25 -

Landlord to be necessary to obtain recovery or redress from any account debtor in default of Receivables. Landlord may give notice of its security interest in the Receivables to any or all account debtors with instructions to make all payments on Receivables directly to Landlord, thereby terminating Tenant’s and Subtenant’s authority to collect Receivables. After terminating Tenant’s and Subtenant’s authority to enforce or collect Receivables, Landlord shall have the right to take possession of any or all Receivables and records thereof and is hereby authorized to do so, and only Landlord shall have the right to collect and enforce the Receivables. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Tenant’s and Subtenant’s cost and expense, but on behalf of Landlord and for Landlord’s account, Tenant and Subtenant shall collect or otherwise enforce all amounts unpaid on Receivables and hold all such collections in trust for Landlord, but Tenant and Subtenant may commingle such collections with Tenant’s and Subtenant’s own funds, until Tenant’s and Subtenant’s authority to do so has been terminated, which may be done only after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Landlord does not assume any of Tenant’s or Subtenant’s obligations under any Receivable, and Landlord shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of any of the terms and conditions thereof by Tenant or Subtenant.

(i) Without waiving any prior or subsequent Event of Default, Landlord may waive any Event of Default or, with or without waiving any Event of Default, remedy any default.

(j) Landlord may terminate its obligation, if any, to disburse Lease Advances.

(k) Landlord may enter and take possession of the Land or any portion thereof and any one or more Facilities without terminating the Lease and complete construction and renovation of the Improvements (or any part thereof) and perform the obligations of Tenant under the Lease Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant hereby appoints Landlord its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to do any of the following: [i] complete construction, renovation and equipping of the Improvements in the name of Tenant; [ii] use unadvanced funds remaining under the Lease Amount, or funds that may be reserved, escrowed, or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the Lease Amount, to complete the Improvements; [iii] make changes in the plans and specifications that shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in substantially the manner contemplated by the plans and specifications; [iv] retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; [v] pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Facility or security interest against fixtures or equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction and equipping of the Improvements or for the clearance of title; [vi] execute all applications and certificates, in the name of Tenant, that may be required in connection with any construction; [vii] do any and every act that Tenant might do in its own behalf, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements; and [viii] to execute, deliver and file all applications and other documents and take any and all actions necessary to transfer the operations of the Facility to Landlord or Landlord’s designee. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

- 26 -

(l) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and subject to the first paragraph of this §8.2, Landlord may apply, with or without notice to Tenant, for the appointment of a receiver (“Receiver”) for Tenant or Tenant’s business or for the Leased Property. Unless prohibited by law, such appointment may be made either before or after termination of Tenant’s possession of the Leased Property, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Tenant at the time of application for such Receiver and without regard to the then value of the Leased Property, and Landlord may be appointed as Receiver. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to appointment of a receiver as a matter of right and without the need to make any showing other than the existence of an Event of Default. The Receiver shall have the power to collect the rents, income, profits and Receivables of the Leased Property during the pendency of the receivership and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Leased Property during the whole of said proceeding. All sums of money received by the Receiver from such rents and income, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement thereof, shall be applied to the payment of the Rent or any other monetary obligation of Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, any losses or damages incurred by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant, if requested to do so, will consent to the appointment of any such Receiver as aforesaid.

(m) Landlord may terminate any management agreement with respect to any of the Leased Property and shall have the right to retain one or more managers for the Leased Property at the expense of Tenant, such manager(s) to serve for such term and at such compensation as Landlord reasonably determines is necessary under the circumstances; provided however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for the expense of any such substitute manager in excess of 5% of gross revenues of the respective Facility.

8.3 Right of Set-Off. Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant to, at any time and from time to time without advance notice to Tenant (any such notice being expressly waived by Tenant), set-off or recoup and apply any and all sums held by Landlord, any indebtedness of Landlord to Tenant, and any claims by Tenant against Landlord, against any obligations of Tenant hereunder and against any claims by Landlord against Tenant, whether or not such obligations or claims of Tenant are matured and whether or not Landlord has exercised any other remedies hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this Section are in addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have against Tenant.

8.4 Performance of Tenant’s Covenants. Landlord may perform any obligation of Tenant which Tenant has failed to perform within five days after Landlord has sent a written notice to Tenant informing it of its specific failure (or such longer cure period as may be provided under §8.1 above). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional Rent, for any expenditures thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at the Overdue Rate (as defined in §8.6).

8.5 Late Payment Charge. Tenant acknowledges that any default in the payment of any installment of Rent payable hereunder will result in loss and additional expense to Landlord in servicing any indebtedness of Landlord secured by the Leased Property, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations, and because such loss and

- 27 -

additional expense is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, Tenant agrees that in the event any Rent payable to Landlord hereunder is not paid within 10 days after the due date, Tenant shall pay a late charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue payment as a reasonable estimate of such loss and expenses, unless applicable law requires a lesser charge, in which event the maximum rate permitted by such law may be charged by Landlord. The 10-day grace period set forth in this Section shall not extend the time for payment of Rent or the period for curing any default or constitute a waiver of such default.

8.6 Interest. In addition to the late payment charge, any payment not made by Tenant within 10 days after the due date shall thereafter bear interest at the rate (the “Overdue Rate”) of the greater of [i] 18.5% per annum; or [ii] 2.5% per annum above the Lease Rate then in effect; provided, however, that at no time will Tenant be required to pay interest at a rate higher than the maximum legal rate and, provided further, that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any other charges payable under this Lease are deemed to be interest, the Overdue Rate shall be adjusted to ensure that the aggregate interest payable under this Lease does not accrue at a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate. Tenant shall not be required to pay interest upon any late payment fees assessed pursuant to §8.5.

8.7 Litigation; Attorneys’ Fees. Within five days after Tenant or Subtenant has knowledge of any litigation or other proceeding that may be instituted against Tenant or Subtenant, against the Leased Property to secure or recover possession thereof, or that may affect the title to or the interest of Landlord in the Leased Property, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord’s rights under this Lease, whether or not an Event of Default has actually occurred or has been declared and thereafter cured, including, without limitation, [i] the fees, expenses, and costs of any litigation, appellate, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding; [ii] reasonable attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and disbursements, whether in-house counsel or outside counsel; and [iii] the expenses, including, without limitation, lodging, meals, and transportation, of Landlord and its employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses in preparing for litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in connection therewith. All such reasonable costs, expenses, charges and fees payable by Tenant shall be deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease.

8.8 Escrows and Application of Payments. As security for the performance of the Secured Obligations, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title, and interest in and to all monies escrowed with Landlord under this Lease and all deposits with utility companies, taxing authorities and insurance companies; provided, however, that Landlord shall not exercise its rights hereunder until an Event of Default has occurred. Any payments received by Landlord under any provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied to the Secured Obligations in the order which Landlord may determine.

8.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Landlord herein are cumulative to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity. The use of any one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to use any other remedy.

8.10 Intentionally Omitted.

- 28 -

8.11 Obligations Under the Bankruptcy Code. Upon filing of a petition by or against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant, as debtor and as debtor-in-possession, and any trustee who may be appointed with respect to the assets of or estate in bankruptcy of Tenant, agree to pay monthly in advance on the first day of each month, as reasonable compensation for the use and occupancy of the Leased Property, an amount equal to all Rent due pursuant to this Lease. Included within and in addition to any other conditions or obligations imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of the assumption and/or assignment of this Lease are the following: [i] the cure of any monetary defaults and reimbursement of pecuniary loss within not more than five business days of assumption and/or assignment; [ii] the deposit of an additional amount equal to not less than three months’ Base Rent, which amount is agreed to be a necessary and appropriate deposit to adequately assure the future performance under this Lease of the Tenant or its assignee; and [iii] the continued use of the Leased Property for the Facility Uses. Nothing herein shall be construed as an agreement by Landlord to any assignment of this Lease or a waiver of Landlord’s right to seek adequate assurance of future performance in addition to that set forth hereinabove in connection with any proposed assumption and/or assignment of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9: DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

9.1 Notice of Casualty. If the Leased Property shall be destroyed, in whole or in part, or damaged by fire, flood, windstorm or other casualty in excess of $50,000.00 (a “Casualty”), Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within three Business Days after the occurrence of the Casualty. Within 15 days after the occurrence of the Casualty or as soon thereafter as such information is reasonably available to Tenant, Tenant shall provide the following information to Landlord: [i] the date of the Casualty; [ii] the nature of the Casualty; [iii] a description of the damage or destruction caused by the Casualty, including the type of Leased Property damaged and the area of the Improvements damaged; [iv] a preliminary estimate of the cost to repair, rebuild, restore or replace the Leased Property; [v] a preliminary estimate of the schedule to complete the repair, rebuilding, restoration or replacement of the Leased Property; [vi] a description of the anticipated property insurance claim, including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date; and [vii] a description of the business interruption claim, including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date. Within five days after request from Landlord, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all correspondence to the insurer and any other information reasonably requested by Landlord.

9.2 Substantial Destruction.

9.2.1 If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed at any time other than during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant shall promptly rebuild and restore such Improvements in accordance with §9.4 and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such restoration. The term “substantially destroyed” means any casualty resulting in the loss of use of 50% or more of the licensed beds at any one Facility.

- 29 -

9.2.2 If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Leased Property or terminate this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, at Landlord’s option, and retain the insurance proceeds unless Tenant exercises its option to renew as set forth in §9.2.3 or exercises its option to purchase as set forth in §9.2.4 or exercises its option to rebuild the Leased Premises and continue the Lease in full force and effect. If Landlord elects to terminate, Landlord shall give notice (“Termination Notice”) of its election to terminate this Lease (or this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, if elected by Landlord) within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of the damage. If Tenant does not exercise its option to renew under §9.2.3 or its option to purchase under §9.2.4 or its option to rebuild under §9.2.5 within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice, this Lease (or this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, if elected by Landlord) shall terminate on the 15th day after delivery of the Termination Notice. If this Lease (or this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, if elected by Landlord) is so terminated, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other obligations accrued under this Lease through the effective date of termination and each Affiliate shall be liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other obligations accrued under its respective Affiliate Lease through the effective date of termination.

9.2.3 If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term and Landlord gives the Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease with respect to the entire Leased Property (but not any part thereof). Tenant shall give Landlord irrevocable notice of Tenant’s election to renew, and each Affiliate Tenant shall give irrevocable notice of renewal, within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice. If Tenant and each Affiliate Tenant elect to renew, the Renewal Term will be in effect for the balance of the then current Term plus a 13-year period. The Renewal Term will commence on the third day following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s and each Affiliate Tenant’s notice of renewal. All other terms of this Lease for the Renewal Term shall be in accordance with Article 12. The Improvements will be restored by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 regarding partial destruction.

9.2.4 If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and Landlord gives the Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to purchase the entire Leased Property (but not any part thereof). Tenant shall give Landlord notice of Tenant’s election to purchase, and if required by Landlord, each Affiliate Tenant shall give notice of its election to purchase its respective Affiliate Facility, within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice. If Tenant and each Affiliate Tenant elect to purchase their respective Leased Property, the Option Price will be determined in accordance with §13.2 and the Fair Market Value will be determined in accordance with §13.3 except as otherwise provided in this Section. For purposes of determining the Fair Market Value, the Leased Property will be valued as if it had been restored to be equal in value to the Leased Property existing immediately prior to the occurrence of the damage. All other terms of the option to purchase shall be in accordance with Article 13. Landlord shall hold the insurance proceeds until the closing of the purchase of the Leased Property and at closing shall deliver the proceeds to Tenant.

9.2.5 If the Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term of any Renewal Term and Landlord gives the Termination Notice, Tenant

- 30 -

shall have the option to rebuild the Leased Premises in accordance with §9.4. In the event Tenant elects to rebuild the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds payable with respect to the insurance maintained pursuant to this Lease.

9.3 Partial Destruction. If any Facility’s Improvements are not substantially destroyed, then Tenant shall comply with the provisions of §9.4 and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such restoration.

9.4 Restoration. Tenant shall promptly repair, rebuild, or restore the damaged Leased Property, at Tenant’s expense, so as to make the Leased Property at least equal in value to the Leased Property existing immediately prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar to it in character as is practicable and reasonable. Before beginning such repairs or rebuilding, or letting any contracts in connection with such repairs or rebuilding, Tenant will submit for Landlord’s approval, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay, plans and specifications meeting the requirements of §16.2 for such repairs or rebuilding. Promptly after receiving Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications and receiving the proceeds of insurance, Tenant will begin such repairs or rebuilding and will prosecute the repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however, to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, and other causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable control. Landlord will make available to Tenant the net proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance paid to Landlord for such repair or rebuilding as the same progresses, after deduction of any costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees. Payments will be made against properly certified vouchers of a competent architect in charge of the work and approved by Landlord. Payments for deposits for the repairing or rebuilding or delivery of materials to the Facility will be made upon Landlord’s receipt of evidence satisfactory to Landlord that such payments are required in advance. Prior to commencing the repairing or rebuilding, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord’s approval a schedule setting forth the estimated monthly draws for such work. Landlord will contribute to such payments out of the insurance proceeds an amount equal to the proportion that the total net amount received by Landlord from insurers bears to the total estimated cost of the rebuilding or repairing, multiplied by the payment by Tenant on account of such work. Landlord may, however, withhold 10% from each payment until the work is completed and proof has been furnished to Landlord that no lien or liability has attached or will attach to the Leased Property or to Landlord in connection with such repairing or rebuilding. Upon the completion of rebuilding and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of the net proceeds of such insurance payable to Tenant on account of such repairing or rebuilding will be paid to Tenant. Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary or final certificate of occupancy before the damaged Leased Property is reoccupied for any purpose. Tenant shall complete such repairs or rebuilding free and clear of mechanic’s or other liens, and in accordance with the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, or orders of any state, municipal, or other public authority affecting the repairs or rebuilding, and also in accordance with all requirements of the insurance rating organization, or similar body. Any remaining proceeds of insurance after such restoration will be Tenant’s property.

9.5 Insufficient Proceeds. If the proceeds of any insurance settlement are not sufficient to pay the costs of Tenant’s repair, rebuilding or restoration under §9.4 in full, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord at Landlord’s option, and within 10 days of Landlord’s request, an amount sufficient in Landlord’s reasonable judgment to complete such repair, rebuilding or

- 31 -

restoration. Tenant shall not, by reason of the deposit or payment, be entitled to any reimbursement from Landlord or diminution in or postponement of the payment of the Rent.

9.6 Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds paid to Landlord as herein provided shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 9. Tenant expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment or value, of the Leased Property from any casualty whatsoever, whether or not insurable or insured against.

9.7 Landlord’s Inspection. During the progress of such repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers may, from time to time, inspect the Leased Property and will be furnished, if required by them, with copies of all plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating to such repairs or rebuilding. Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and specifications at the building, and Landlord and its architects and engineers may examine them at all reasonable times. If, during such repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers determine that the repairs or rebuilding are not being done in substantial accordance with the approved plans and specifications, Landlord will give prompt notice in writing to Tenant, specifying in detail the particular deficiency, omission, or other respect in which Landlord claims such repairs or rebuilding do not accord with the approved plans and specifications. Upon the receipt of any such notice, Tenant will cause corrections to be made to any material deficiencies, omissions, or such other respect. Tenant’s obligations to supply insurance, according to Article 4, will be applicable to any repairs or rebuilding under this Section.

9.8 Landlord’s Costs. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, pay the reasonable costs, expenses, and fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord to review any plans and specifications and to supervise and approve any construction, or for any services rendered by such architect or engineer to Landlord as contemplated by any of the provisions of this Lease, or for any services performed by Landlord’s attorneys in connection therewith.

9.9 No Rent Abatement. Rent will not xxxxx pending the repairs or rebuilding of the Leased Property.

ARTICLE 10: CONDEMNATION

10.1 Total Taking. If, by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right (“Taking”), any entire Facility Property is taken, or so much of any Facility Property is taken that the Facility Property cannot be used by Tenant for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then this Lease will end with respect to such Facility Property only on the earlier of the vesting of title to the Facility Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of the Facility Property by the condemning authority. Upon such termination, the Lease Amount shall be reduced by the Allocated Lease Amount for such Facility Property and Rent hereunder shall be reduced accordingly unless there is only one Facility Property subject to this Lease in which case the Lease will terminate. All damages awarded for such Taking under the power of eminent

- 32 -

domain shall be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee of the Facility Property. If this Lease is terminated with respect to a Facility subject to a taking described in this Section, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference between the Allocated Lease Amount and any damages received by Landlord from the condemning authority, and Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease.

10.1.1 If any Facility Property is taken during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease with respect to all Leased Property, Tenant shall have the option to purchase all of the Leased Property. Tenant shall give Landlord notice of Tenant’s election to purchase within 15 days after delivery of the notice of Landlord’s intent to terminate. If Tenant elects to purchase all of the Leased Property, the Option Price will be determined in accordance with §13.2 and the Fair Market Value will be determined in accordance with §13.3. All other terms of the option to purchase shall be in accordance with Article 13.

10.2 Partial Taking. If, after a Taking, so much of the Facility Property remains that the Facility Property can be used for substantially the same purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then [i] this Lease will end as to the part taken on the earlier of the vesting of title to such Leased Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of such Leased Property by the condemning authority and the Rent will be adjusted accordingly; [ii] at its cost, Tenant shall restore so much of the Facility Property as remains to a sound architectural unit substantially suitable for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, using good workmanship and new, first-class materials; [iii] upon completion of the restoration, Landlord will pay Tenant the lesser of the net award made to Landlord on the account of the Taking (after deducting from the total award, attorneys’, appraisers’, and other fees and costs incurred in connection with the obtaining of the award and amounts paid to the holders of mortgages secured by the Facility Property), or Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket costs of restoring the Facility Property; and [iv] Landlord shall be entitled to the balance of the net award. The restoration shall be completed and the condemnation award/proceeds advanced to Tenant in accordance with §§9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9 with such provisions deemed to apply to condemnation instead of casualty.

10.3 Condemnation Proceeds Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the condemnation award paid to Landlord shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 10. Tenant expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment, or value, of the Leased Property from any Condemnation.

ARTICLE 11: TENANT’S PROPERTY

11.1 Tenant’s Property. Tenant may, at its option, install, place, and use on the Leased Property such fixtures, furniture, equipment, inventory and other personal property in addition to Landlord’s Personal Property as may be required or as Tenant may, from time to time, deem necessary or useful to operate the Leased Property for its permitted purposes.

(f) Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord or as otherwise provided in this Lease, remove any Tenant’s Property or Leased Property.

In such event, Tenant shall have no claim or right against Landlord for such property or the value thereof regardless of the disposition thereof by Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, all expenses incurred by Landlord in removing, storing, and disposing of Tenant’s Property and repairing any damage caused by such removal. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

(g) Tenant shall perform its obligations under any equipment lease or security agreement for Tenant’s Property.

ARTICLE 13: OPTION TO PURCHASE

13.1 Option to Purchase. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to purchase (“Option to Purchase”) all of the Leased Property (but not any part thereof) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 13. Tenant may exercise its Option to Purchase only by giving an irrevocable notice of Tenant’s election to purchase the Leased Property (“Purchase Notice”) in accordance with the following:

(a) During the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, Tenant and each Affiliate Tenant (if any) must give a Purchase Notice no earlier than the date which is 180 days, and no later than the date which is 90 days, prior to the expiration date of the then current Term of this Lease and each Affiliate Lease (if any).

(b) If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant (and each Affiliate Tenant if required by Landlord) must give a Purchase Notice within 15 days after Landlord gives the Termination Notice pursuant to §9.2.4.

(c) If this Lease has been terminated pursuant to a nonmonetary Event of Default, Tenant must give a Purchase Notice within 15 days after Landlord gives the notice of Lease termination pursuant to §8.2(b).

(d) If any Facility Property is taken during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right, Tenant must give a Purchase Notice within 30 days after delivery of the notice of Landlord’s intent to terminate pursuant to §10.1.1.

Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Option to Purchase other than in accordance with subparagraphs (a) — (d).

13.2 Option Price. The option price (“Option Price”) will be an amount equal to the greater of [i] the Lease Amount; or [ii] the sum of [a] the Lease Amount plus [b] 50% of the difference between the Fair Market Value at the time of the option exercise and the Lease Amount. In addition to the Option Price, Tenant shall pay all closing costs and expenses in connection with the transfer of the Leased Property to Tenant, including, but not limited to, the following: [a] real property conveyance or transfer fees or deed stamps; [b] title search fees, title

- 36 -

insurance commitment fees, and title insurance premiums; [c] survey fees; [d] environmental assessment fees; [e] recording fees; [f] attorneys’ fees of Landlord’s counsel; [g] fees of any escrow agent; and [h] all amounts, costs, expenses, charges, Additional Rent and other items payable by Tenant to Landlord, including, but not limited to, enforcement costs as set forth in §8.7.

13.3 Fair Market Value. The fair market value (the “Fair Market Value”) of the Leased Property shall be determined as follows.

13.3.1 The parties shall attempt to determine the Fair Market Value by mutual agreement within 15 days after giving the Purchase Notice. However, if the parties do not agree on the Fair Market Value within such 15-day period, the following provisions shall apply.

13.3.2 Landlord and Tenant shall each give the other party notice of the name of an acceptable appraiser 15 days after giving of the Purchase Notice. The two appraisers will then select a third appraiser within an additional five days. Each appraiser must demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of both Landlord and Tenant that it has significant experience in appraising properties similar to the Leased Property. Within five days after designation, each appraiser shall submit a resume to Landlord and Tenant setting forth such appraiser’s qualifications, including education and experience with similar properties. A notice of objections to the qualifications of any appraiser shall be given within 10 days after receipt of such resume. If a party fails to timely object to the qualifications of an appraiser, then the appraiser shall be conclusively deemed satisfactory. If a party gives a timely notice of objection to the qualifications of an appraiser, then the disqualified appraiser shall be replaced by an appraiser selected by the qualified appraisers or, if all appraisers are disqualified, then by an appraiser selected by a commercial arbitrator acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.

13.3.3 The Fair Market Value shall be determined by the appraisers within 60 days thereafter as follows. Each of the appraisers shall be instructed to prepare an appraisal of the Leased Property in accordance with the following instructions:

The Leased Property is to be valued upon the three conventional approaches to estimate value known as the Income, Sales Comparison and Cost Approaches. Once the approaches are completed, the appraiser correlates the individual approaches into a final value conclusion.

The three approaches to estimate value are summarized as follows:

Income Approach: This valuation approach recognizes that the value of the operating tangible and intangible assets can be represented by the expected economic viability of the business giving returns on and of the assets.

Sales Comparison Approach: This valuation approach is based upon the principle of substitution. When a facility is replaceable in the market, the market approach assumes that value tends to be set at the price of acquiring an equally desirable substitute facility.

- 37 -

Since healthcare market conditions change and frequently are subject to regulatory and financing environments, adjustments need to be considered. These adjustments also consider the operating differences such as services and demographics.

Cost Approach: This valuation approach estimates the value of the tangible assets only. Value is represented by the market value of the land plus the depreciated reproduction cost of all improvements and equipment.

In general, the Income and Sales Comparison Approaches are considered the best representation of value because they cover both tangibles and intangible assets, consider the operating characteristics of the business and have the most significant influence on attracting potential investors.

The appraised values submitted by the three appraisers shall be ranked from highest value to middle value to lowest value, the appraised value (highest or lowest) which is furthest from the middle appraised value shall be discarded, and the remaining two appraised values shall be averaged to arrive at the Fair Market Value.

13.3.4 In the event of any condemnation, similar taking or threat thereof with respect to any part of the Leased Property or any insured or partially insured casualty loss to any part of the Leased Property after Tenant has exercised an Option to Purchase, but before settlement, the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property shall be redetermined as provided in this §13.3 to give effect to such condemnation, taking or loss and shall take into account all available condemnation awards and insurance proceeds.

13.3.5 Tenant shall pay, or reimburse Landlord for, all costs and expenses in connection with the appraisals.

13.4 Closing. The purchase of the Leased Property by Tenant shall close on a date agreed to by Landlord and Tenant which shall be not less than 60 days after Landlord’s receipt of the Purchase Notice and not more than 60 days after the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property has been determined. At the closing, Tenant shall pay the Option Price and all closing costs in immediately available funds and Landlord shall convey title to the Leased Property to Tenant by a transferable and recordable quitclaim deed and quitclaim xxxx of sale, subject only to Permitted Exceptions and such other matters approved in writing by Tenant or created as a result of a default by Tenant. Landlord shall execute a special warranty deed only if required by the title company to issue a policy of title insurance insuring the interest of Tenant in the Leased Property.

13.5 Failure to Close Option. If Tenant for any reason fails to purchase the Leased Property after Tenant has given the Purchase Notice, then Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of the failure to close, including costs of unwinding swap transactions or other interest rate protection devices and preparing for the closing. Tenant shall continue to be obligated as lessee hereunder for the remainder of the Term (including the Extended Term as set forth in §12.3).

- 38 -

13.6 Failure to Exercise Option to Purchase and Renewal Option. If Tenant for any reason does not exercise its Option to Purchase or Renewal Option in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease before the expiration of the then current Term, Tenant shall be deemed to have forfeited its contribution and all proprietary and ownership interest of Tenant in the Leased Property including all of Tenant’s rights to exercise the Option to Purchase and Renewal Option.

Tenant and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that the rights to operate the beds located at the Facility as long term care beds under the law of the State, to relocate such bed operating rights to another location or locations, and to transfer such bed operating rights to third parties, are property of the Landlord and are an integral part of the real and personal property that constitutes the Leased Property. Tenant and Subtenant have only the right to use of such rights during the term of this Lease and subject to its terms and conditions. All operating rights shall automatically revert to Landlord or Landlord’s designee upon the expiration or termination of this Lease for any reason whatsoever (other than Tenant’s

This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable prior to Tenant’s purchase of the Leased Property.

ARTICLE 16: ALTERATIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND SIGNS

16.2 Approval of Alterations. If Tenant desires to perform any Permitted Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord plans, specifications, drawings, and such other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord (collectively the “Plans and Specifications”) showing in reasonable detail the scope and nature of the Alterations that Tenant desires to perform. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the level of detail shall be comparable to that which is referred to in the architectural profession as “design development drawings” as opposed to working or biddable drawings. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably delay its review of the Plans and Specifications. Within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reviewing and, if required, approving or disapproving the Plans and Specifications, inspecting the Leased Property, and otherwise monitoring compliance with the terms of this Article 16. Tenant shall comply with the requirements of §16.4 in making any Permitted Alterations.

16.3 Permitted Alterations.

(d) For any Permitted Alterations having a total cost of $100,000.00 or more, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a payment and performance bond, with a surety acceptable to Landlord, in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the Permitted Alterations, guaranteeing the completion of the work free and clear of liens and in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications, and naming Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord as joint obligees on such bond.

(e) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, obtain a builder’s completed value risk policy of insurance insuring against all risks of physical loss, including collapse and transit coverage, in a nonreporting form, covering the total value of the work performed, and equipment, supplies, and materials, and insuring initial occupancy. Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord shall be additional insureds of such policy. Landlord shall have the right to approve the form and substance of such policy.

(f) Tenant shall pay the premiums required to increase the amount of the insurance coverages required by Article 4 to reflect the increased value of the Improvements resulting from installation of the Permitted Alterations, and shall deliver to Landlord a certificate evidencing the increase in coverage.

(g) Tenant shall, not later than 60 days after completion of the Permitted Alterations, deliver to Landlord a revised “as-built” survey of the respective Facility if the Permitted Alterations altered the Land or “footprint” of the Improvements and an “as-built” set of Plans and Specifications for the Permitted Alterations in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord.

(h) Tenant shall, not later than 30 days after Landlord sends an invoice, reimburse Landlord for any reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and architects’ and engineers’ fees, incurred in connection with reviewing and approving the Permitted Alterations and ensuring Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of this Section.

- 46 -

16.6 Minimum Qualified Capital Expenditures. During each calendar year of the Term, Tenant shall expend at least $125.00 per bed for Qualified Capital Expenditures to improve the Facilities (provided that as to any Facility with respect to which a certificate of occupancy was not issued prior to the end of the first calendar year, the minimum qualified capital expenditures required by this Section shall be waived until the calendar year immediately following the year in which such certificate of occupancy is issued). Thereafter throughout the Term, Tenant shall expend such amount each calendar year, increased annually in proportion to increases in the CPI. At least annually, at the request of Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall review capital expenditures budgets and agree on modifications, if any, required by changed circumstances and the changed conditions of the Leased Property.

16.7 Signs. Tenant may, at its own expense, erect and maintain identification signs at the Leased Property, provided such signs comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations. Upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall, within 30 days after notice from Landlord, remove the signs and restore the Leased Property to its original condition.

ARTICLE 17: [RESERVED]

ARTICLE 18: ASSIGNMENT AND SALE OF LEASED PROPERTY

18.1 Prohibition on Assignment and Subletting. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has entered into this Lease in reliance on the personal services and business expertise of Tenant. Tenant may not assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, grant a right of first refusal or transfer any interest in this Lease, or in the Leased Property, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The following transactions will be deemed an assignment or sublease requiring Landlord’s prior written consent: [i] an assignment by operation of law; [ii] an imposition (whether or not consensual) of a lien, mortgage, or encumbrance upon Tenant’s interest in the Lease; [iii] an arrangement (including, but not limited to, management agreements, concessions, licenses, and easements) which allows the use or occupancy of all or part of the Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant; and [iv] a change of ownership of Tenant. Landlord’s consent to any assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will not release Tenant (or any guarantor) from its payment and performance obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant, any guarantor, and Tenant’s assignee or sublessee will be jointly and severally liable for such payment and performance. An assignment, right of first refusal or sublease without the prior written consent of Landlord will be void at Landlord’s option. Landlord’s consent to one assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will not waive the requirement of its consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may enter into a Sublease with each Subtenant for each Facility provided that each Sublease complies with §18.2.

18.2 Requests for Landlord’s Consent to Assignment, Sublease or Management Agreement. If Tenant is required to obtain Landlord’s consent to a specific assignment, sublease, or management agreement, Tenant shall give Landlord [i] the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager; [ii] a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or management agreement; [iii] reasonably satisfactory information about the nature, business and business history of the proposed assignee, subtenant, or manager and its proposed use of the Leased Property; and [iv] banking, financial, and other credit information, and references about

- 47 -

the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager. Any assignment, sublease or management agreement shall contain provisions to the effect that [a] such assignment, sublease or management agreement is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord and that the assignee, subtenant or manager shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Lease; [b] such assignment, sublease or management agreement may not be modified without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; [c] if this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such assignment, sublease or management agreement, the assignee, subtenant or manager thereunder will, solely at Landlord’s option and only upon the express written notice of attornment from Landlord, attorn to Landlord and waive any right the assignee, subtenant or manager may have to terminate the assignment, sublease or management agreement or surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease; and [d] if the assignee, subtenant or manager receives a written notice from Landlord stating that Tenant is in default under this Lease, the assignee, subtenant or manager shall thereafter pay all rentals or payments under the assignment, sublease or management agreement directly to Landlord until such default has been cured. Any attempt or offer by an assignee, subtenant or manager to attorn to Landlord shall not be binding or effective without the express written consent of Landlord. Tenant hereby collaterally assigns to Landlord, as security for the performance of its obligations hereunder, all of Tenant’s right, title, and interest in and to any assignment, sublease or management agreement now or hereafter existing for all or part of the Leased Property. Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord, execute such other instruments or documents as Landlord may request to evidence this collateral assignment. If Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, consents to such assignment, sublease, or management agreement, such consent shall not be effective until [i] a fully executed copy of the instrument of assignment, sublease or management agreement has been delivered to Landlord; [ii] in the case of an assignment, Landlord has received a written instrument in which the assignee has assumed and agreed to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease; and [iii] Tenant has paid to Landlord a fee in the amount of $2,500.00 (applies only to consent requests after the Closing); and [iv] Landlord has received reimbursement from Tenant or the assignee for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with determining whether to give its consent, giving its consent and all matters relating to the assignment (applies only to consent requests after the Closing).

18.3 Agreements with Residents. Notwithstanding §18.1, Tenant and Subtenant may enter into an occupancy agreement with residents of the Leased Property without the prior written consent of Landlord provided that [i] the agreement does not provide for lifecare services; [ii] the agreement does not contain any type of rate lock provision or rate guaranty for more than one calendar year; [iii] the agreement does not provide for any rent reduction or waiver other than for an introductory period not to exceed six months; [iv] Tenant and Subtenant may not collect rent for more than one month in advance; and [v] all residents of the Leased Property are accurately shown in accounting records for the Facility.

18.4 Sale of Leased Property. If Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Leased Property sells the Leased Property, its liability for the performance of its agreements in this Lease will end on the date of the sale of the Leased Property, and Tenant will look solely to the purchaser for the performance of those agreements provided the subsequent owner assumes

- 48 -

either in writing or as a matter of law, all obligations of Landlord under the terms of the Lease and acknowledges Tenant’s Option to Purchase set forth herein. For purposes of this Section, any holder of a mortgage or security agreement which affects the Leased Property at any time, and any landlord under any lease to which this Lease is subordinate at any time, will be a subsequent owner of the Leased Property when it succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Leased Property.

18.5 Assignment by Landlord. Landlord may transfer, assign, mortgage, collaterally assign, or otherwise dispose of Landlord’s interest in this Lease or the Leased Property.

ARTICLE 19: HOLDOVER AND SURRENDER

19.1 Holding Over. If Tenant, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, continues to hold and occupy the Leased Property (or any part thereof) after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease (other than pursuant to Tenant’s purchase of the Leased Property), such holding over beyond the Term and the acceptance or collection of Rent in the amount specified below by Landlord shall operate and be construed as creating a tenancy from month to month and not for any other term whatsoever. Said month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord by giving Tenant 10 days written notice, and at any time thereafter Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property. If Tenant continues after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease to hold and occupy the Leased Property whether as a month-to-month tenant or a tenant at sufferance or otherwise, Tenant shall pay Rent for each month in an amount equal to the sum of [i] the Base Rent payable during the month in which such expiration or termination occurs, plus [ii] all Additional Rent accruing during the month, plus [iii] any and all other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. During any continued tenancy after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, 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 applicable law, to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property until the tenancy is terminated. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

19.2 Surrender. Except for [i] Permitted Alterations; [ii] normal and reasonable wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Tenant to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair during the Term); and [iii] damage and destruction not required to be repaired by Tenant, Tenant shall surrender and deliver up the Leased Property at the expiration or termination of the Term in as good order and condition as of the Commencement Date.

ARTICLE 20: LETTER OF CREDIT

20.1 Terms of Letter of Credit. As security for the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the Letter of Credit at the Closing. Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit in favor of Landlord until the Secured Obligations are performed in full. The Letter of Credit shall permit partial and full draws and shall permit drawing upon presentation of a draft drawn on the issuer and a certificate signed by

- 49 -

Landlord stating that an Event of Default has occurred under this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall be for an initial term of one year and shall be automatically renewed annually for successive terms of at least one year unless Landlord receives notice from the Issuer, by certified mail, at least 60 days prior to the expiry date then in effect that the Letter of Credit will not be extended for an additional one-year period.

20.2 Replacement Letter of Credit. Tenant shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit which satisfies the requirements of §20.1 from an Issuer acceptable to Landlord within 30 days after the occurrence of any of the following: [i] Landlord’s receipt of notice from the Issuer that the Letter of Credit will not be extended for an additional one-year period; [ii] Landlord gives notice to Tenant that the Lace Financial Service Rating (or rating of a comparable rating service) of the Issuer is less than a “C+” (or the comparable rating of such other rating service); [iii] Landlord gives notice to Tenant of the admission by Issuer in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or Issuer’s filing of a petition in bankruptcy or petitions to take advantage of any insolvency act, making an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, consenting to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or filing a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law, regulation, or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof or [iv] Issuer is at any time determined not to be at least “adequately capitalized,” as that term is defined and used in the “Prompt Corrective Action” statute, 12 U.S.C. §1831o, and implementing regulations. Tenant’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Section shall be an immediate Event of Default without any notice (other than as provided for in this Section), cure or grace period. Upon such Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit and Landlord may, solely at its option and without any obligation to do so, require Tenant to obtain a replacement Letter of Credit satisfactory to Landlord with the Letter of Credit proceeds made available to Tenant solely to secure Tenant’s reimbursement obligation for the replacement Letter of Credit.

20.3 Draws. Landlord may draw under the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Any such draw shall not cure an Event of Default. The proceeds from the Letter of Credit (“LC Proceeds”) shall be the sole property of Landlord and may be used, retained and invested by Landlord without restriction or limitation. Tenant shall have no interest in or claim against the LC Proceeds. Landlord shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to apply all or any portion of the LC Proceeds to pay all or any portion of [i] all Rent and other charges and expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease; plus [ii] all reasonable expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord’s rights under this Lease or any security for the Lease, including, without limitation, [a] the fees, expenses, and costs of any litigation, appellate, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar proceeding; [b] attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and disbursements; and [c] the expenses, including, without limitation, lodging, meals and transportation of Landlord and its employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses in preparing for litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceedings and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in connection therewith.

With respect to any portion of the Letter of Credit proceeds that is not applied to payment of Tenant’s Obligations, Landlord shall have the option to either [i] deposit the proceeds into an interest bearing account with a financial institution chosen by Landlord

- 50 -

(“LC Account”); or [ii] require Tenant to obtain a replacement Letter of Credit satisfactory to Landlord, with the Letter of Credit proceeds made available to Tenant to secure Tenant’s reimbursement obligation for the Letter of Credit. All interest accruing on the LC Account shall be paid to Landlord and may, from time to time, be withdrawn from the LC Account by Landlord. At any time and from time to time until Tenant’s Obligations are performed in full, Landlord may apply all or any portion of the funds held in the LC Account to payment of all or any portion of Tenant’s Obligations. Within 10 days after any such payment from the LC Account, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant describing the amount of such payment and how it was applied to Tenant’s Obligations.

Upon the occurrence of either [i] Landlord’s receipt of a replacement Letter of Credit that satisfies the requirements of §20.1 and is issued by an Issuer acceptable to Landlord; or [ii] the date on which all of Tenant’s Obligations are performed in full, Landlord shall pay the balance of the LC Account to Tenant.

20.4 Partial Draws. Upon the occurrence of a monetary Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, make a partial draw on the Letter of Credit in an amount not to exceed the amount of Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease then past due. If Landlord then applies the proceeds from such partial draw on the Letter of Credit to payment of all or any portion of Tenant’s monetary obligations then past due, Tenant shall, within 10 days after notice from Landlord of such partial draw and payment, cause the amount of the Letter of Credit to be reinstated to the amount in effect prior to such partial draw. Tenant’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Section shall be an immediate Event of Default under the Lease Documents without any notice (other than as provided for in this Section), cure or grace period. Landlord’s rights under this §20.4 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, Landlord’s rights under §20.3.

20.5 Substitute Letter of Credit. Tenant may, from time to time, deliver to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Lease and issued by an Issuer acceptable to Landlord. Upon Landlord’s approval of the substitute Letter of Credit, Landlord shall release the previous Letter of Credit to Tenant.

20.6 Retention of Letter of Credit. Upon termination of this Lease due to expiration of the Term, pursuant to an Event of Default or for any reason other than Tenant’s purchase of the Leased Property, Landlord shall be entitled to hold the Letter of Credit until the Secured Obligations are performed in full or are released by Landlord.

ARTICLE 21: QUIET ENJOYMENT, SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

21.1 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant performs all of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant’s possession of the Leased Property will not be disturbed by Landlord or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord.

21.2 Subordination. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, this Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Lease are subordinate to any ground lease or underlying lease, first mortgage, first deed of trust, or other first lien against the Leased Property, together

- 51 -

with any renewal, consolidation, extension, modification or replacement thereof, which now or at any subsequent time affects the Leased Property or any interest of Landlord in the Leased Property, except to the extent that any such instrument expressly provides that this Lease is superior. The foregoing subordination provision is expressly conditioned upon any lessor or mortgagee being obligated and bound to recognize Tenant as the tenant under this Lease, and such lessor or mortgagee shall have no right to disturb Tenant’s possession, use and occupancy of the Leased Property or Tenant’s enjoyment of its rights under this Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs hereunder. Any foreclosure action or proceeding by any mortgagee with respect to the Leased Property, or the acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, shall not affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease and shall not terminate this Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs hereunder. The foregoing provisions will be self-operative, and no further instrument will be required in order to effect them. However, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at any time and from time to time upon demand by Landlord, such documents as may be requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other instrument described in this Section, to confirm or effect any such subordination, provided that any such document shall include a nondisturbance provision as set forth in this Section satisfactory to Tenant.
