condition, purpose or otherwise as to the quality or material or workmanship
therein, latent or patent, it being agreed that all such risks are to be borne
by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not investigated and does not
warrant or represent to Tenant that the Leased Property is fit for the Intended

possession of the Leased Property or any part thereof following the expiration
of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease without an agreement in writing
between Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, the person or party remaining

holdover, the Rent payable under this Lease by such tenant at sufferance shall
be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Rent in effect immediately prior to
the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. In no event,
however, shall such holding over be deemed or construed to be or constitute a
renewal or extension of this Lease.
7. USE OF LEASED PROPERTY; COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

respects with all Legal Requirements in respect to the use, operation,
maintenance, repair, alteration and restoration of the Leased Property, and (ii)
procure, maintain and comply with all material respects with all appropriate
licenses, certificates of need, permits, provider agreements and other
authorizations and agreements required for the use of the Leased Property for
the Intended Use, and for the proper operation and maintenance of the Leased
Property or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any Capital
Additions, except where failure to comply will not have a material adverse
effect on the use or operation of the Leased Property for the Intended Use or
the value or security of the Leased Property.
(c) Compliance with Third Party Payor Program Requirements. Tenant shall,
at its sole cost and expense, make whatever improvements (capital or ordinary)
as are required to conform the Leased Property in all material respects to such
standards, if any, as may, from time to time, be required by any applicable
Third Party Payor Programs to the extent Tenant is a participant in such Third
Party Payor Programs (it being acknowledged that participation in such Third
Party Payor Programs is at the sole and absolute discretion of Tenant), or any
other applicable programs or legislation, or capital improvements required by
any other governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Leased Property as a
condition of the continued operation of the Leased Property for its Intended
Use, except where the failure to comply will not have a material adverse effect
on the use or operation of the Leased Property for its Intended Use.

have first reasonably determined in good faith that such grant, release,
dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is not detrimental in any material
respect to the operation of the Leased Property for its Intended Use does not
materially reduce the value of the Leased Property and, to the extent required
by the Facility Mortgage, is acceptable to the Facility Mortgagee.
(e) Landlord's Receipt Of Third Party Payor Program Reimbursements. In the
event that Landlord is required by applicable law to receive any payments from
Third Party Payors as the owner of the Facility which would be deemed payment
for services provided by or on behalf of Tenant to residents of the Facility,
the parties hereto agree that, so long as there is no existing and continuing
Event of Default hereunder, Landlord shall pay such monies to Tenant as promptly
as practicable.
8. TENANT'S COVENANT TO REPAIR.
(a) Repair and Maintenance. Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and
at its sole cost and expense, put, keep, replace and maintain the Leased
Property (including, without limitation, the Improvements and the Personalty) in
good repair and in good, safe and substantial order and condition, shall make
all repairs and replacements thereto, both inside and outside, structural and
non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary, howsoever the necessity or
desirability for repairs and replacements may occur, and whether or not
necessitated by wear, tear, obsolescence or defects, latent or otherwise, and
shall use all reasonable precautions to prevent waste, damage or injury. Tenant
shall also at its own cost and expense install, maintain and replace all
landscaping, signs, sidewalks, roadways, driveways and parking areas within the
Leased Property in good repair and in good, safe and substantial order and
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
10
condition. Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 8 shall constitute an
expense of Tenant, shall not constitute Rent and shall not offset or reduce any
Rent otherwise required to be paid hereunder.
(b) Tenant's Personal Property. Tenant may (and shall as provided herein
below), at its expense, affix or assemble or place on any parcels of the Land or
in any of the Improvements, any items of Tenant's Personal Property, and Tenant
may, subject to the conditions set forth below, remove the same at any time.
Tenant shall provide and maintain throughout the Term all such Tenant's Personal
Property as shall be necessary in order to operate the Facility for its Intended
Use and in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements. All of Tenant's Personal Property not removed by Tenant
on or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be
considered abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or
otherwise disposed of by Landlord at Tenant's sole expense without the necessity
of first giving notice thereof to Tenant, without any payment to Tenant and
without any obligation to account therefor. Tenant shall, at its expense,
restore all of the Leased Property to the condition required by Paragraph 10
including repair of all damage to the Leased Property caused by the removal of
Tenant's Personal Property, whether effected by Tenant or Landlord, and,
further, bear Landlord's cost of such removal.
9. NO LANDLORD REPAIR OBLIGATIONS. Landlord shall not be required to make any
alterations, reconstructions, replacements, changes, additions, improvements or
repairs of any kind or nature whatsoever to the Leased Property or any portion
thereof (including, without limitation, any portion of the Improvements or any
Personalty) at any time during the Term.
10. SURRENDER.
(a) Surrender of Leased Property. Tenant shall on the last day of the
Term, or upon the sooner termination of this Lease, peaceably and quietly
surrender the Leased Property to Landlord, in good repair and in good, safe and
substantial order and condition, and, further, in at least as good condition as
when the Leased Property was received, ordinary wear and tear and damage by
fire, Casualty or Condemnation excepted.
(b) Transfer of Licenses and Permits. In addition, upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord's sole cost and
expense, use its best efforts to transfer to and cooperate with Landlord or
Landlord's nominee in connection with the processing of all applications for
licenses, operating permits and other governmental authorizations and all
contracts, including contracts with governmental or quasi-governmental entities
which may be necessary for the operation of the Facility. If requested by
Landlord, Tenant will continue to manage the Facility after the expiration of
the Term and for so long thereafter as is necessary for Landlord or Landlord's
nominee to obtain all necessary licenses, operating permits and other
governmental authorizations, on such reasonable terms (which shall include an
agreement to pay Tenant a market rate management fee and reimburse Tenant for
its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expense, and reasonable administrative
costs) upon which Landlord and Tenant shall agree.
(c) Option to Purchase Tenant's Personal Property. Upon ninety (90) days'
prior Notice (or such shorter period as shall be appropriate if this Lease is
terminated prior to its expiration date), Landlord shall have the option to
purchase all (but not less than all) of Tenant's Personal Property for an amount
equal to the then Fair Market Value thereof subject to and with appropriate
price adjustments for all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, security
interests and other encumbrances to which such Tenant's Personal Property is
subject. If Landlord exercises such option upon expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, Tenant shall convey Tenant's Personal Property to
Landlord on an "as-is" basis, in its then current condition and state of repair.
Tenant shall provide Landlord with warranties of title, reflecting no
encumbrances as to which adjustments to the purchase price thereof, as required
by the first sentence of this paragraph 10(c), have not been made. Failure of
Landlord to notify Tenant of its election
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
11
to purchase Tenant's Personal Property by the 90th day prior to the expiration
of the Term (or such shorter period as may be appropriate if this Lease is
terminated prior to its expiration date) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver
of Landlord's right to purchase Tenant's Personal Property.
11. CAPITAL ADDITIONS.
(a) Construction of Capital Additions. Tenant shall not construct or
install any Capital Addition on the Leased Property without obtaining Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned, provided that no consent shall be required for any Capital
Addition as long as (i) the Capital Additions Costs for such Capital Addition
are less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), in the aggregate
and (ii) such construction or installation will not materially and adversely
affect or violate any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement applicable to
the Leased Property. If Landlord's consent is required, prior to commencing
construction of any Capital Addition, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, in
writing, a proposal setting forth, in reasonable detail, any proposed Capital
Addition and shall provide to Landlord such plans and specifications, permits,
licenses, contracts and other information concerning the proposed Capital
Addition as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have ten (10)
Business Days to review all materials submitted to Landlord in connection with
any such proposal. Failure of Landlord to respond to Tenant's proposal within
ten (10) Business Days after receipt of all information and materials requested
by Landlord in connection with the proposed Capital Addition shall be deemed to
constitute approval of such proposed Capital Addition, subject in all events,
however, to Tenant's compliance with the other requirements of this Paragraph
11. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall
indicate the approximate projected cost of constructing such Capital Addition
and the use or uses to which it will be put. No Capital Addition shall be made
which would tie in or connect any Improvement on the Leased Property with any
other improvements on property adjacent to the Leased Property (and not part of
the Land), including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other
structures or utilities, without Landlord's consent, which shall be given or
withheld in Landlord's discretion. Any Capital Additions shall, upon the
expiration or sooner termination of the Term, pass to and become the property of
Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) Non-Capital Additions. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, without Landlord consent, to make additions, modifications or
improvements to the Leased Property which are not Capital Additions
("Non-Capital Additions") from time to time as Tenant, in its sole discretion,
may deem desirable for the applicable Intended Use provided that any such
Non-Capital Addition will not materially alter the character or purpose or
materially detract from the value or operating efficiency of the Leased
Property.
12. UTILITIES AND OTHER SERVICES. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay
directly all charges, fees and amounts (together with any applicable penalties,
late charges, taxes or assessments thereon) when due for water, gas,
electricity, air conditioning, heat, septic, sewer, refuse collection, telephone
and any other utility charges or similar items in connection with the use or
occupancy of the Leased Property. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable in
any way whatsoever for the quality, quantity, impairment, interruption,
stoppage, or other interference with any utility service, including, without
limitation, water, air conditioning, heat, gas, electric current for light and
power, telephone, or any other utility service provided to or serving the Leased
Property or any damage or injury caused thereby. No such interruption,
termination or cessation of utility services shall relieve Tenant of its duties
and obligations pursuant to this Lease, including, without limitation, its
obligation to pay all Rent as and when the same shall be due hereunder.

13. PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS.
(a) Landlord's Self Help. If Tenant shall default in the performance of
any term, provision, covenant or condition on its part to be performed hereunder
and such default shall be continuing, Landlord may, after Notice to Tenant and a
reasonable time to perform after such Notice (or without Notice and additional
time to perform if, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, an emergency exists or
action is necessary to cure any default under the Facility Mortgage prior to the
expiration of the applicable cure period therefor) perform the same for the
account and at the expense of Tenant. If, at any time and by reason of such
Event of Default, Landlord is compelled to pay, or reasonably elects to pay, any
sum of money or do any reasonable act which will require the payment of any sum
of money, or is compelled to incur any expense in the enforcement of its rights
hereunder or otherwise, such sum or sums, together with interest thereon at the
Overdue Rate, shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be paid to
Landlord by Tenant promptly when billed therefor, and Landlord shall have all
the same rights and remedies in respect thereof as Landlord has in respect of
the Rent herein reserved.
(b) Landlord's Inspections. Landlord, its agents or representatives,
including any applicable Facility Mortgagee, shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to enter upon the Leased Property to perform annual inspections of
the Leased Property or more frequently as required under such Facility Mortgage
to confirm that Tenant is performing all of Tenant's obligations under this
Lease, and that Tenant has not violated any of its covenants under this Lease.
Upon completion of such inspection, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a written
report ("Inspection Report") outlining certain defaults, if any, in Tenant's
obligations under clause (i) of Paragraph 7(b), Paragraph 7(c) or Paragraph
8(a). Within ten (10) Business Days of Tenant's receipt of such Inspection
Report, Tenant shall either (i) unless prohibited by the terms of the Facility
Mortgage, object to Landlord in writing as to any portion of the Inspection
Report, specifically describing such objection; or (ii) begin to perform any and
all required work outlined in the Inspection Report which Tenant has not
objected to, and diligently complete such work. If Tenant objects to any item in
the Inspection Report, then within ten (10) Business Days of Landlord's receipt
of Tenant's objection notice, both Landlord and Tenant shall select a third
party licensed engineer mutually satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant or if a
single engineer cannot be agreed upon, then Landlord and Tenant shall each, at
their own cost, select a licensed engineer and the two chosen engineers shall
select a third licensed engineer, the cost of the third engineer being paid
equally by Landlord and Tenant. The engineer(s) shall determine, by majority
vote, if the work outlined in the Inspection Report should be performed by
Tenant. Such determination shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant.
14. ENTRY. Landlord, any Facility Mortgagee and their agents or representatives
may enter the Leased Property at reasonable times during normal business hours
upon twenty-four (24) hours prior written Notice (except during emergencies, in
which case Landlord shall endeavor to give such Notice as Landlord deems
reasonable under the circumstances) for the purpose of inspecting the Leased
Property, or performing any work which Landlord elects to undertake by reason of
Tenant's Default under the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts not to disturb Tenant or any resident or occupant of the Leased Property
as a result of any such entry by Landlord, its agents or representatives.
15. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND LIENS.
(a) Transfers Prohibited Without Consent. Except as provided below, Tenant
shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in each instance, sell, assign or
otherwise transfer this Lease, or Tenant's interest in the Leased Property, in
whole or in part, or any rights or interest which Tenant may have under this
Lease, or sublet the Leased Property, or any part thereof. When given, the
consent of Landlord to an assignment, transfer, subletting shall in no event be
construed to relieve Tenant or such assignee or subtenant from the obligation of
obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment,
transfer or subletting. Any assignment, transfer or sublease in violation of
this Paragraph 15 shall be voidable at
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
13
Landlord's option. For purposes of this Paragraph, Landlord's consent shall
conclusively be deemed reasonably withheld if the effect of any such transfer
would adversely affect the Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") status or the
treatment of Landlord or its Parent under applicable REIT regulations.
(b) Adequate Assurances. Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions
of this Paragraph 15, if, pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as the same may
be amended from time to time, Tenant is permitted to assign or otherwise
transfer its rights and obligations under this Lease in disregard of the
restrictions contained in this Paragraph 15, the assignee agrees to provide
adequate assurance to Landlord (i) of the continued use of the Leased Property
solely in accordance with the Intended Use thereof and in compliance with all
other terms of this Lease; and (ii) of such other matters as Landlord may
reasonably require at the time of such assumption or assignment. Such assignee
shall expressly assume this Lease by an agreement in recordable form.
(c) Permitted Subleases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 15(d), Tenant may enter into third party residency
agreements with respect to the units located at the Facility and may sublease
space at the Leased Property for a bank, beauty salon, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shop, laundry,
commissary or healthcare purposes or other concessions and services in the
ordinary course of business consistent with the Intended Use, so long as such
sublease will not reduce the number of units at the Facility and will not
violate or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Tenant
shall provide (or cause to be provided) such additional insurance coverage
applicable to the activities to be conducted in such subleased space as Landlord
may reasonably require.
(d) Sublease Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such
that the rental to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole
or in part, on either (i) the income or profits derived by the business
activities of such sublessee, or (ii) any other formula, such that any portion
of such sublease rental 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 such that the sublease(s) might, in Landlord's reasonable
determination, adversely affect the REIT status or treatment of Landlord or its
Parent under any applicable REIT regulations.
(e) Liens. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 26, Tenant shall not,
directly or indirectly, create or allow to remain and shall promptly discharge
or bond over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, at its expense,
any Lien the Leased Property or Tenant's leasehold interest therein or any
attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (i)
Permitted Encumbrances; (ii) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which
are consented to in writing by Landlord or otherwise permitted under this Lease;
(iii) liens for those taxes of Landlord which Tenant is not required to pay
hereunder; (iv) Liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance
with Legal Requirements so long as (A) the same are not yet payable, or (B) are
being contested in accordance with Paragraph 26; (v) liens of mechanics,
laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors incurred in the ordinary course of
business that are not yet due and payable or are for sums that are being
contested in accordance with Paragraph 26; and (vi) any Facility Mortgage or
other liens which are the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to the provisions
of Paragraph 36.
16. IMPOSITIONS. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall bear, pay and discharge all
Impositions of every kind and nature whatsoever, extraordinary as well as
ordinary, and each and every installment thereof which shall or may during the
Term hereof be assessed or imposed upon, or arise in connection with, the use,
occupancy or possession of the Leased Property or any part thereof, including,
without limitation, ad valorem real and personal property taxes, Landlord's
franchise taxes and all taxes assessed or imposed in lieu of or in addition to
any of the foregoing but specifically excluding any federal income taxes of
Landlord other than additional taxes, interest or penalties and related expenses
arising out of the Leased Property's non-compliance with Legal Requirements.
Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
14
promptly furnish to Landlord satisfactory evidence of the payment of any
Imposition required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing. If any
refund shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid
by Tenant, the same shall be paid to or retained by Tenant.
17. CASUALTY.
(a) Restoration and Repair. In the event that the Improvements and/or
Personalty shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire or any
cause whatsoever ("Casualty"), Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice
thereof and shall repair, reconstruct or replace the Improvements and/or
Personalty, or the portion thereof so destroyed or damaged (whichever is
reasonably required), at least to the extent of the value and character thereof
existing immediately prior to such occurrence, and in accordance with Legal
Requirements. All work shall be started as soon as practicable and completed at
Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall, however, immediately take such
action as is necessary to assure that the Leased Property (or any portion
thereof) does not constitute a nuisance or otherwise presents a health or safety
hazard. Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent without abatement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that a period of two (2) years or less remains on
the Term, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon the occurrence of a
Casualty in which the Property as a whole is rendered Unsuitable for its
Intended Use by Notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the date of
such Casualty which termination shall be effective on the last day of the
calendar month in which such Notice is given. Upon such termination Tenant shall
assign all insurance proceeds for such damage or destruction to Landlord and any
applicable Facility Mortgagee.
(b) Escrow of Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the requirements of any
Facility Mortgagee, in the event of a Casualty resulting in an insurance loss
payment for any Improvements and/or Personalty in an amount greater than Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), unless this Lease is terminated as
provided in Paragraph 17(a), the proceeds of all insurance policies maintained
by Tenant plus the amount of any deductible shall, subject to all Legal
Requirements, be deposited in the name of Landlord, Tenant and any Facility
Mortgagee in an escrow account at an approved financial institution designated
by Landlord, and shall be used by Tenant for the repair, reconstruction or
restoration of the Improvements and/or Personalty. Such proceeds shall be
disbursed periodically by escrow agent upon certification of the architect or
engineer having supervision of the work that such amounts are the amounts paid
or payable for the repair, reconstruction or restoration. Tenant shall, at the
time of establishment of such escrow account and from time to time thereafter
until said work shall have been completed and paid for, furnish Landlord with
adequate evidence that at all times the undisbursed portion of the escrowed
funds, together with any funds made available by Tenant, is sufficient to pay
for the repair, reconstruction or restoration in its entirety. If a Casualty
results in a loss payment for the Improvements and/or Personalty in an amount
equal to or less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), unless this
Lease is terminated as provided in Paragraph 17(a), then the proceeds shall be
paid to Tenant, and shall be applied by Tenant toward the repair, reconstruction
and restoration of the Leased Property. Tenant shall obtain, and make available
to Landlord, receipted bills and, upon completion of the work, full and final
waivers of lien.
(c) Uninsured Losses. Nothing contained herein shall relieve Tenant of its
obligations under this Paragraph 17 even if the Casualty is not covered, either
in whole or in part, by insurance.

Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act
of 1994.

request, provide and keep in full force and effect such other insurance
for such risks and in such amounts as may from time to time be required

the same at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration thereof. All such
policies shall require not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord
prior to any cancellation thereof or any change reducing coverage thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect to obtain blanket insurance for
each of the foregoing required types of insurance.
Tenant shall pay the premiums for all insurance policies which Tenant is
obligated to carry under this Paragraph 18 and, prior to the expiration of any
such policy, deliver to Landlord a copy of the renewal policy or policies, or a
certificate or certificates thereof, along with evidence that the premiums
therefor have been paid for at least the next ensuing quarter-annual period.
(d) Failure to Procure Insurance. If Tenant fails to procure insurance
required under this Paragraph or fails to maintain the same in full force and
effect continuously during the Term, Landlord shall be entitled to procure the
same and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for such premium expense as
additional Rent.
(e) Waiver of Subrogation. If any of Tenant's Personal Property shall be
stolen, damaged or destroyed by an insured peril, Landlord shall not have any
liability to Tenant, nor to any insurer of Tenant, for or in respect of such
theft, damage or destruction, and Tenant shall use its best efforts to require
all policies of insurance carried by it on Tenant's Personal Property to contain
or be endorsed with a provision by which the insurer designated therein shall
waive its right of subrogation against Landlord.
(f) Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding the existence of any
insurance provided for herein and without regard to the policy limits of any
such insurance, Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord for,
from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties,
causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed
upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord (except to the extent that any
of the following result from Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct)
by reason of: (i) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or
damage to property occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining
sidewalks or right of way, including, without limitation, any claims of
malpractice; (ii) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use,
non-compliance, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or anyone
claiming under Tenant of the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property or
any litigation, proceeding or claim by Governmental Agencies or other third
parties (other than Condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord is made a party
or participant relating to the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property or
such use, misuse, non-use, non-compliance, condition, management, maintenance,
or repair thereof; (iii) any Impositions (which are the obligation of Tenant to
pay pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease) and (iv) any failure or
inability to obtain the insurance coverage required hereunder. Tenant shall pay
all amounts payable under this Paragraph 18(f) within ten (10) Business Days
after demand therefor, and if not timely paid, such amounts shall bear interest
at the Overdue Rate from the date of
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
17
determination to the date of payment. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest,
resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted
against Landlord or may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same, with
Landlord's prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned). The obligations of Tenant under this
Paragraph 18(f) are in addition to the obligations set forth in Paragraph 19(c)
and shall survive the termination of this Lease.
19. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
(a) Tenant's Covenant. Throughout the Term, Tenant covenants that it shall
not cause, permit or allow any Hazardous Materials to be placed, stored, dumped,
dispensed, released, discharged, deposited, used, transported, located or
generated on the Leased Property in violation of any Environmental Law.
(b) Clean-Up. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 51, during the Term,
Tenant shall immediately clean-up any Hazardous Materials found on or within any
portion of the Leased Property, and shall remediate the Leased Property to
comply with any and all Environmental Laws regarding Hazardous Materials and
clean-up thereof, and to pay for all clean-up and remediation costs at no cost
to Landlord; provided such Hazardous Materials were placed, released,
discharged, used, transported or generated prior to the end of the Term and do
not result from any act or omission of Landlord.
(c) Indemnification. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 51, Tenant
shall indemnify, release and hold harmless Landlord, its successors, assigns,
members, managers, officers, directors, shareholders and employees, from and
against all Liabilities (as defined below), suffered by, incurred by or assessed
against such parties, their agents or other representatives, whether incurred as
a result of legal action taken by any Governmental Agency, taken by any private
claimant, or taken by Landlord, before or after the expiration of the Term as a
result of the presence, disturbance, discharge, release, removal or clean-up of
any Hazardous Materials upon or under, on or off site, associated with,
generated on or flowing or originating from the Leased Property prior to the end
of the Term; provided such Liabilities do not arise as a result of any act or
omission of Landlord. The term "Liabilities" as used in this Paragraph 19 is
hereby defined as any and all liabilities, expenses, demands, damages, punitive
or exemplary damages, consequential damages, costs, cleanup costs, response
costs, losses, causes of action, claims for relief, reasonable attorneys' fees,
other professional fees, penalties, fines, assessments and charges. The
provisions of this Paragraph 19 shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease.
20. COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. If either party shall bring an action to recover
any sum due hereunder, or for any breach hereunder, and shall obtain a judgment
or decree in its favor, the court may award to the prevailing party in such
action its reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, specifically
including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with any appeals
(whether or not taxable or assessable as such by law). Landlord shall also be
entitled to recover Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
any bankruptcy action filed by or against Tenant, including, without limitation,
those incurred in seeking relief from the automatic stay, in dealing with the
assumption or rejection of this Lease, in any adversary proceeding, and in the
preparation and filing of any proof of claim.

(ii) Tenant's failure to pay when due any other payment of Rent, or

necessary to remedy the default and shall not thereafter diligently
complete such act or acts within a reasonable time, provided, however, in
no event shall such cure period extend beyond one hundred eighty (180)
days after Notice thereof;
(iv) if Tenant or its Parent becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or files
any debtor proceedings, or files pursuant to any statute a petition in
bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization, or files a petition for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of
its assets, and such petition or appointment or if any of the foregoing
are filed against Tenant or its Parent, shall not have been set aside
within ninety (90) days from the date of such petition or appointment, or
if Tenant or its Parent makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, or if Tenant's interest in this Lease is attached, seized or

is not discharged within ninety (90) days;
(v) if Tenant's fails to provide insurance coverage (or allows such
coverage to be canceled or lapse) pursuant to its obligation hereunder;

(vii) if a Change of Control occurs or the estate or interest of
Tenant in the Leased Property or any material part thereof is voluntarily
or involuntarily transferred, assigned, conveyed, levied upon or attached

Paragraph 26 hereof;
(viii) if there has been a final unappealable determination by any

Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
19

purchase price of any material property or services (excluding trade
accounts payable in the ordinary course of business on customary trade
terms) or any guaranty relating thereto which, in the aggregate, exceeds
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), and the same be declared to
be or become due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof and all
applicable notices with respect thereto have been given and all applicable
grace or cure periods with respect thereto shall have lapsed; or
(xi) if any Person acquires more than 9.8% of the outstanding
ownership interests in Tenant, which would, in Landlord's sole but
reasonable determination, adversely affect the status or treatment of
Landlord or its Parent as a real estate investment trust under the
applicable provisions of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any applicable Facility Mortgage
provides for a shorter cure or grace period, or does not require notice to be
given to trigger an event of default thereunder for the same obligation as
described above and provided such obligation is a concurrent obligation of
Tenant hereunder, then the provisions for notice (or lack thereof) and cure
under such Facility Mortgage shall supercede the notice and cure provisions set
forth above, it being acknowledged and agreed that all such payments and
obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be made and performed within such time
periods so as to comply with the terms of the Facility Mortgage.
(b) Remedies. If any of the Events of Default hereinabove specified shall
occur and be continuing, Landlord shall have and may exercise any one or more of
the following rights and remedies:
(i) Landlord may, by written Notice thereof to Tenant, terminate
this Lease and, peaceably or pursuant to appropriate legal proceedings,
re-enter, retake and resume possession of the Leased Property for
Landlord's own account and, for Tenant's breach of and default under this
Lease, recover immediately from Tenant any and all Rent and other sums and
damages due or in existence at the time of such termination, including,
without limitation: (A) all Rent and other sums, charges, payments, costs
and expenses agreed and/or required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord
hereunder; (B) all reasonable costs and expenses of Landlord in connection
with the recovery of possession of the Leased Property, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs; and (C) all costs and expenses
of Landlord in connection with any reletting or attempted reletting of the
Leased Property or any part or parts thereof, including, without
limitation, brokerage fees, reasonable attorneys' fees and the cost of any
alterations or repairs which may be reasonably required to so relet the
Leased Property, or any part or parts thereof;
(ii) Landlord may, by written Notice thereof to Tenant, terminate
Tenant's option to renew the term this Lease for any or all of the Renewal
Terms;
(iii) Landlord may, pursuant to any prior notice required by law,
and without terminating this Lease, peaceably or pursuant to appropriate
legal proceedings, re-enter, retake and resume possession of the Leased
Property for the account of Tenant, make such alterations of and repairs
to the Leased Property as may be reasonably necessary in order to relet
the same or any part or parts thereof and relet or attempt to relet the
Leased Property or any part or parts thereof for such term or terms (which
may be for a term or terms extending beyond the Term), at such Rent and
upon such other terms and provisions as Landlord, in its reasonable
discretion, may deem advisable. In the event that Landlord retakes and
resumes possession of the Leased Property, it shall use reasonable efforts
to mitigate any damages it suffered by virtue of such Event of Default.
Subject to the requirements of any Facility Mortgage, upon any such
reletting, all rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be
applied: (A) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of recovering
possession of the Leased Property; (B) second, to the payment of
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
20
any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees,
reasonable attorneys' fees and the cost of any alterations and repairs
reasonably required for such reletting; (C) third, to the payment of any
indebtedness, other than Rent, due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, and
to satisfy any Liens encumbering Tenant's leasehold interest; (D) fourth,
to the payment of all Rent and other sums due and unpaid hereunder; and
(E) fifth, the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in
payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder.
If the rents received from such reletting during any period shall be less
than that required to be paid during that period by Tenant hereunder, then
Tenant shall promptly pay any such deficiency to Landlord and failing the
prompt payment thereof by Tenant to Landlord, Landlord shall immediately
be entitled to institute legal proceedings for the recovery and collection
of the same. Landlord shall, in addition, be immediately entitled to ▇▇▇
for and otherwise recover from Tenant any other damages occasioned by or
resulting from any abandonment of the Leased Property or other Event of
Default under this Lease other than a monetary Event of Default. No such
re-entry, retaking or resumption of possession of the Leased Property by
Landlord for the account of Tenant shall be construed as an election on
the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a Notice of such
intention shall be given to Tenant or unless the termination of this Lease
be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such
re-entry and reletting or attempted reletting of the Leased Property or
any part or parts thereof for the account of Tenant without termination of
this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter, upon Notice to Tenant,
elect to terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy available to
Landlord for Tenant's previous and continuing Event of Default under this
Lease.
(iv) Landlord may, without re-entering, retaking or resuming
possession of the Leased Property, ▇▇▇ for all Rent and all other sums,
charges, payments, costs and expenses due from Tenant to Landlord
hereunder either: (A) as they become due under this Lease, taking into
account that Tenant's right and option to pay the Rent hereunder on a
monthly basis in any particular Lease Year is conditioned upon the absence
of an Event of Default under this Lease; or (B) at Landlord's option,
accelerate the maturity and due date of the whole or any part of the Rent
for the entire then-remaining unexpired balance of the Initial Term or the
applicable Renewal Term, as the case may be (reduced to its present value,
applying an interest rate of seven percent (7%)) less the present value of
the fair market rent for the same period, as well as all other sums,
charges, payments, costs and expenses required to be paid by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder, including, without limitation, damages for breach or
default of Tenant's obligations hereunder in existence at the time of such
acceleration, such that all sums due and payable under this Lease shall,
following such acceleration, be treated as being, and in fact shall be,
due and payable in advance as of the date of such acceleration. Landlord
may then proceed to recover and collect all such unpaid Rent and other
sums so sued for from Tenant by distress, levy, execution or otherwise.
In addition to the remedies hereinabove specified and enumerated, Landlord
shall have and may exercise the right to invoke any other remedies allowed at
law or in equity as if the remedies of re-entry, unlawful detainer proceedings
and other remedies were not herein provided. Accordingly, the mention in this
Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from having or
exercising any other remedy at law or in equity. Nothing herein contained shall
be construed as precluding Landlord from having or exercising such lawful
remedies as may be and become necessary in order to preserve Landlord's right or
the interest of Landlord in the Leased Property and in this Lease, even before
the expiration of any notice periods provided for in this Lease, if under the
particular circumstances then existing the allowance of such notice periods will
prejudice or will endanger the rights and estate of Landlord in this Lease and
in the Leased Property.

22. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT.
If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of its
covenants or obligations set forth in this Lease and such default shall continue
for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord,
or such additional period as may be reasonably required to correct the same
provided Landlord has promptly commenced and is diligently prosecuting a cure
thereof, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a "Landlord Default" by a second
Notice to Landlord. Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and, subject
to the provisions of the following Paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by
Tenant in curing the same, together with interest thereon from five (5) days
following the date Landlord receives Tenant's invoice, at the Overdue Rate.
Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease for any default by Landlord
hereunder and no right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against
any Rent or other charges due hereunder.
If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord
Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the thirty (30) day cure period,
shall give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
basis therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and
Landlord shall have no obligation with respect thereof until final adverse
determination thereof. Tenant and Landlord shall in good faith attempt to
resolve such dispute and if they fail to do so within ten (10) days after
Landlord's Notice, either may submit the matter for resolution to a court of
competent jurisdiction.
23. CONDEMNATION.
(a) Complete Taking. If (i) the whole of the Leased Property shall be
taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation of less than the whole of the
Leased Property renders the entire Leased Property Unsuitable for its Intended
Use then this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the Date of Taking.
Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in the Leased
Property as provided in Paragraph 23(c).
(b) Partial Taking. If any part of the Leased Property shall be taken by
Condemnation, such that the Leased Property may still be used for its Intended
Use, this Lease shall not terminate or be terminated and Tenant shall restore
the remaining portion of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to render
it reasonably suitable for its Intended Use and make all repairs to any
Improvements or Personalty damaged by such taking to the extent necessary to
constitute such Improvements a complete architectural unit and otherwise in
accordance with Legal Requirements. Any proceeds shall be paid to and held and
disbursed by an escrow agent in the manner and under the conditions provided in
Paragraph 17 in respect of a Casualty. The Award shall be made available by
Landlord to pay or reimburse Tenant for the cost of restoration or rebuilding
and, any surplus which may remain out of any Award after payment of such cost of
restoration or rebuilding shall be the sole property of Landlord.
(c) Award. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 23(b), all Awards in any
Condemnation, either permanent or temporary, of all or any part of the Leased
Property or any easement or any appurtenance thereto, including severance and
consequential damages and change in grade of any street, shall be the property
of and paid to Landlord; provided any Award made for the Tenant's leasehold
interest in the Leased Property, Tenant's Personalty located thereon, the loss
of Tenant's business for the remainder of the Term and relocation expenses of
Tenant shall be paid to and be the property of Tenant.
(d) Notices. Each of Landlord and Tenant further covenants and agrees to
give the other immediate Notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any
Condemnation proceedings and to deliver to the other copies of any and all
papers served in connection with any such proceedings.

25. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF TENANT.
(a) Indebtedness of Tenant. Tenant shall not create, incur, assume or
guarantee, or permit to exist, or become or remain liable directly or indirectly
upon, any indebtedness except the following:
(i) indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord or to the Manager under the
Management Agreement;
(ii) indebtedness of Tenant for current taxes, assessments,
governmental charges of levies, to the extent that payment thereof shall
not at the time be required to be made in accordance with the provisions

(b) Management of Leased Property; Joinder by Manager. Tenant shall not
enter into or permit to exist any management agreement of any of the Leased
Property, or make any material modification of an approved management agreement,
unless the terms thereof have been previously approved in writing by Landlord,
which approval may be withheld in Landlord's reasonable discretion; provided,
however, that Landlord hereby approves the terms of the Management Agreement.
Subject to the rights of the Facility Mortgagee, all management fees, payments
in connection with any extension of credit and fees for services provided in
connection with the operation of the Leased Property, payable by Tenant to
Manager under the Management Agreement are hereby subordinated to all of the
obligations of Tenant due under this Lease, and Manager's consent to such
subordination is evidenced by its joining into this Lease for the limited
purposes of this Paragraph 25(b).
(c) Landlord Lien. In additional to any statutory landlord's lien and in
order to secure payment of the Rent and all other sums payable hereunder by
Tenant, and to secure payment of any loss, cost or damage which Landlord may
suffer by reason of an Event of Default, Tenant hereby grants unto Landlord, to
the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, a security interest in and
express contractual lien upon Tenant's Personal Property (except motor
vehicles), and Tenant's interest in all ledger sheets, files, records, documents
and instruments (including, without limitation, computer programs, tapes and
related electronic data processing) relating to the operation of the Facility
and all proceeds therefrom, subject to any Permitted Encumbrances; and such
Tenant's Personal Property shall not be removed from the Leased Property at any
time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord
financing statements in form sufficient to perfect the security interest of
Landlord in Tenant's Personal Property and the proceeds thereof in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable laws of the State. During the continuance
of an Event of Default, Tenant hereby grants Landlord an irrevocable limited
power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute all such financing
statements in Tenant's name, place and stead. The security interest herein
granted is in additional to any statutory lien for the Rent.
26. PERMITTED CONTESTS. Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or
validity of any Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, Lien, Imposition,
charge or other claim (collectively, "Claims") as to the Leased Property, by
appropriate legal proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence,
provided that (i) the foregoing shall in no way be construed as relieving,
modifying or extending Tenant's obligation to pay any Claims as finally
determined; (ii) such contest shall not cause Landlord to be in default under
any Facility Mortgage encumbering the Leased Property or any interest therein;
(iii) no part of the Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom shall be in any
immediate danger of sale, forfeiture, attachment or loss; and (iv) Tenant shall
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any cost, claim, damage,
penalty or reasonable expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith or as a result thereof. Upon Landlord's
request, Tenant shall either (i) provide a bond, title indemnity, endorsement or
other assurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all Claims which may be
assessed against the Leased Property, together with all interest and penalties
thereon, will be paid, or (ii) deposit within the time otherwise required for
payment with a
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
24
bank or trust company, as trustee, or escrow agent as security for the payment
of such Claims, 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 connection
with any such contest. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with reasonable evidence of
such deposit, title indemnity, endorsement or other assurance within five (5)
Business Days after request therefor. Landlord agrees to join in such
proceedings if required legally to prosecute such contest, provided that
Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to any liability therefor (including,
without limitation, for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection
therewith). 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 by Tenant. If
Tenant shall fail (A) to pay any Claims promptly after such Claim is finally
determined, (B) to provide security therefor as provided in this Paragraph 26,
or (C) to prosecute any such contest diligently and in good faith, Landlord may,
upon reasonable Notice to Tenant, pay such charges, together with interest and
penalties due with respect thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
therefor, upon demand.
27. NOTICES OF COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION. If required by the laws of the
Facility State or in the event permitted by the laws of the Facility State and
Landlord so requests upon Tenant giving Notice to Landlord of its intended
construction, and in the event that Tenant reasonably contemplates construction
of any work on the Leased Property will cost, in the aggregate, Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more, prior to commencement by Tenant of
any work on the Leased Property which shall have been previously permitted by
Landlord as provided in this Lease, Tenant shall record or file a notice of the
commencement of such work (the "Notice of Commencement") in the land records of
the County in which the Leased Property is located, identifying Tenant as the
party for whom such work is being performed, stating such other matters as may
be required by applicable law and requiring the service of copies of all
notices, liens or claims of lien upon Landlord. Any such Notice of Commencement
shall clearly reflect that the interest of Tenant in the Leased Property is that
of a leasehold estate and shall also clearly reflect that the interest of
Landlord, as the fee simple owner of the Leased Property, shall not be subject
to mechanics or materialmen's liens on account of the work which is the subject
of such Notice of Commencement. A copy of any such Notice of Commencement shall
be furnished to and approved by Landlord and its attorneys prior to the
recording or filing thereof, as aforesaid
28. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF LANDLORD AND TENANT. If Tenant is awarded a money
judgment against Landlord, then Tenant's sole recourse for satisfaction of such
judgment shall be limited to execution against the Leased Property. In no event
shall any trustee, stockholder, shareholder, member, manager, partner, employee,
officer or beneficiary of Landlord be personally liable for the obligations of
Landlord hereunder. Except to the extent provided in any Parent guaranty or
indemnity, in no event shall any trustee, shareholder, member, guarantor,
partner, employee, officer or beneficiary of Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant
be personally liable for any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
29. "NET" LEASE. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that this Lease shall
be and constitute what is generally referred to as a "triple net" or "absolute
net" lease, such that Tenant shall be obligated hereunder to pay all costs and
expenses incurred with respect to, and associated with, the Leased Property and
the Facility, including, without limitation, all Impositions, utility charges,
insurance costs, maintenance costs and repair and restoration expenses (all as
more particularly herein provided).
30. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

independent and assisted living facility. Tenant has duly qualified to
transact business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted by it requires such qualification.
(ii) Action of Tenant. Tenant has taken all necessary action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease, and this
Lease constitutes the valid and binding obligation and agreement of
Tenant, enforceable against Tenant in accordance with its terms, except as

moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors.

32. NO WAIVER. No course of dealing between Landlord and Tenant, or any delay or
omission of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon a strict performance of any term
or condition of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy that
such party may have, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach
of such term or condition.
33. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon paying the Rent and
observing and keeping the covenants, agreements and stipulations of this Lease
on its part to be kept, shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and
enjoy the Leased Property during the Term without hindrance, ejection or
molestation. Landlord covenants and warrants that it is lawfully seized of the
Leased Property and has good, right and lawful authority to enter into this
Lease for the full term aforesaid, that the Leased Property is free and clear of
all encumbrances that would prevent Landlord from having such right and
authority and that Landlord will put Tenant in actual possession of the Leased
Property on the Commencement Date.
34. LANDLORD ENCUMBRANCES. Except as agreed by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord
shall not directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien,
encumbrance or title retention agreement upon the Leased Property or any portion
thereof or interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or other means of
financing or refinancing, provided, however, that Landlord may further encumber
the Leased Property without Tenant's consent provided the costs and debt service
resulting from such lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement shall not be
included in Base Rent hereunder.

Williamsburg

35. SUBORDINATION NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT. In the event that Landlord
places any Facility Mortgage on the Leased Property, Tenant agrees to promptly
enter into, execute and deliver to the requesting party a commercially
reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any such
Facility Mortgagee, which shall acknowledge that this Lease, Tenant's interest
hereunder and Tenant's leasehold interest in and to the Leased Property are
junior, inferior, subordinate and subject in right, title, interest, lien,
encumbrance, priority and all other respects to the lien of any Facility
Mortgage or Mortgages now or hereafter in force and effect upon or encumbering
Landlord's interest in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and to all
collateral assignments by Landlord to any third party or parties of any of
Landlord's rights under this Lease or the rents, issues and profits thereof or
therefrom as security for any liability or indebtedness, direct, indirect or
contingent, of Landlord to such third party or parties, and to all future
modifications, extensions, renewals, consolidations and replacements of, and all
amendments and supplements to any such mortgage, mortgages or assignments;
provided such lender agrees not to disturb Tenant's occupancy of the Leased
Property or its rights under this Lease as long as there is no existing and
continuing Event of Default. If, within fifteen (15) days following Tenant's
receipt of a written request by Landlord or the holder or proposed holder of any
such Facility Mortgage, Tenant shall fail or refuse or shall have not executed
any such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, Tenant shall
be in breach and default of its obligation to do so and of this Lease and
Landlord shall be entitled thereupon to exercise any and all remedies available
to Landlord pursuant to this Lease or otherwise provided by law.
36. BROKERS. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to the other that neither
of them have engaged or contracted with any person, firm or entity to serve or
act as a broker, agent or finder for the purpose of leasing the Leased Property,
and that no broker's or real estate or other similar commissions or fees are or
shall be due in respect of the transaction contemplated by this Lease. Landlord
and Tenant each shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the other from and
against any cost and expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by
the other as a result of the untruth of any of the foregoing representations
made by it.
37. INVALIDITY. If any provision of this Lease shall be declared invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect.
38. COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts,
which taken together shall be deemed one (1) original.
39. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. The parties hereto agree not to record this Lease. The
parties agree to execute and to record in the appropriate local registry a
Memorandum of Lease in the form attached as Exhibit B.
40. CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies of Landlord and Tenant herein shall be
cumulative and none shall be exclusive of any other or of any rights and
remedies allowed by law.
41. GOVERNING LAW. Except as to matters regarding the internal affairs of
Landlord and issues of or limitations on any personal liability of the members
or managers of Landlord for obligations of Landlord, as to which the laws of the
State of Delaware shall govern, this Lease shall be interpreted, construed,
applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Facility State.
42. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, RELATIONSHIP. The covenants, terms, conditions,
provisions, and undertakings in this Lease shall extend to and be binding upon
the permitted successors, and assigns of the respective parties hereto, and
shall be construed as covenants running with the land. This Lease creates and
evidences a lease between Landlord and Tenant, and not a partnership, joint
venture, or other type of ownership inconsistent with a lease, and neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall make any representation to the contrary.
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg

43. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease and any exhibits attached hereto, contains the
entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof. There are no oral understandings, terms, or conditions,
and neither party has relied upon any representation, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof not contained in this Lease. All prior
understandings, terms, or conditions with respect to the subject matter hereof
are deemed merged in this Lease. This Lease cannot be changed or supplemented
orally, but may be modified or amended only by a written instrument executed by
the parties. Any disputes regarding the interpretation of any portion of this
Lease shall not be presumptively construed against the drafting party.
44. SURVIVAL. Tenant's indemnity obligations herein, including, without
limitation, those set forth in Paragraphs 18(f) and 19(c) shall survive
termination of this Lease.
45. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall from time to time,
within fifteen (15) Business Days after request by the other and without charge,
give an Estoppel Certificate containing such other matters as may be reasonably
requested to any person, firm or corporation specified by the requesting party.
If the Estoppel Certificate is not returned within such fifteen (15) Business
Day period, such party shall be deemed to have consented to the information
contained therein as if it had executed such Estoppel Certificate and returned
it to the requesting party.
46. TIME. Time is of the essence in every particular of this Lease, including,
without limitation, obligations for the payment of money.
47. CAPTIONS AND HEADINGS. The captions and headings in this Lease have been
inserted herein only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way
define, limit or describe the scope or intent of, or otherwise affect, the
provisions of this Lease.
48. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TENANT AND
LANDLORD HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER
OF THEM OR THEIR HEIRS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN
CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS
(WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD'S ACCEPTING THIS LEASE.
49. SIGNAGE. Tenant shall have the right to install signs containing Tenant's
trade name and such other identification signs on the Leased Property as are
permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall obtain all governmental
permits, licenses and approvals necessary to erect such signs, and shall
maintain such signs in good condition and repair. Tenant shall not remove any
identification signs without first obtaining Landlord's written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
50. GUARANTY. At the time of Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall
obtain the execution of the guaranty agreement in the form of Exhibit C attached
hereto ("Guaranty") by Guarantor.
51. PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, with respect to any physical condition on the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, which was created prior to the Term which is or has been
rendered unlawful or no longer in compliance with any Legal Requirement
including, but not limited to, the discovery of Hazardous Materials on the
Leased Property which were not caused by the Tenant's use or occupancy of the
Leased Property or the requirement of any Governmental Agency to make
alterations or repairs to the Leased Property which are not necessitated by
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Property ("Pre-existing Conditions"),
Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the condition
remedied or payment for such
Property Lease Agreement
Williamsburg
30
condition paid by the party who created such condition or any other third party
who might reasonably be deemed liable for such condition within six (6) months
after Landlord first receives Notice thereof. In the event that Landlord is
unable to seek recovery from any such third party after reasonable efforts to do
so (during the aforesaid six (6) month period), Landlord shall notify Tenant of
the condition and the costs associated with remediation or correction thereof or
any liability it has incurred thereby. Within ten (10) Business Days following
receipt of Notice thereof, Tenant shall notify Landlord of its intent to (i)
correct or remediate the condition within a reasonable time thereafter or (ii)
request that Landlord remediate or correct the condition, in which case the cost
of such remediation shall be payable by Tenant as Rent hereunder. In the event
that Tenant agrees to correct or remediate the Pre-existing Condition and fails
to do so within a reasonable time thereafter, Landlord may give the Tenant
written notice of its failure to comply. If the condition is not fully corrected
or remediated within thirty (30) days thereafter (provided, if Tenant has
commenced and is diligently prosecuting such correction or remediation, such
thirty (30) day period shall be extended for a reasonable period to allow for
completion thereof, not to exceed one hundred eighty days), Landlord may
commence to correct or remediate the Pre-existing Condition and the cost of such
remediation shall be payable by Tenant as shall be mutually agreed by Landlord
and Tenant.

LEASE GUARANTY
This LEASE GUARANTY (this "Guaranty") is made and entered into to be
effective as of May 1, 2002 (the "Effective Date"), by BLC PROPERTIES I, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("Guarantor"), in favor of CMCP-WILLIAMSBURG,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, as of the Effective Date, Landlord and BLC-WILLIAMSBURG, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, as "Tenant," have executed and entered into
that certain Lease Agreement (as the same may be renewed, extended, amended or
modified from time to time, the "Lease"), pertaining to that certain Leased
Property (as defined in the Lease Agreement);
WHEREAS, Guarantor is an affiliate of Tenant, and Guarantor will derive
substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by
the Lease; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition to the entering into of the Lease by Landlord
that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged by Guarantor, and in order to induce Landlord to enter into the
Lease, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
Section 1. GUARANTY. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees (i) the full and prompt payment of all rent and other sums required
to be paid by Tenant under the Lease, (ii) the full and timely performance of
all other terms, conditions, covenants and obligations of Tenant under the Lease
(as same may be amended, renewed, extended or modified), and (iii) any and all
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by
Landlord in enforcing any rights under the Lease or this Guaranty (such
obligations, collectively, are referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations").
Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and performance,
not collection, and that Guarantor is primarily liable and responsible for the
payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. It is not necessary for
Landlord, in order to enforce payment and performance by Guarantor under this
Guaranty, first or contemporaneously to institute suit or exhaust remedies
against Tenant or others liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations or to
enforce rights against any collateral securing any of it. With the exception of
the defense of prior payment, performance, or compliance by Tenant or Guarantor
of the Guaranteed Obligations which Guarantor is called upon to pay, or the
defense that Landlord's claim against Guarantor hereunder is barred by the
applicable statue of limitations, all defenses of the law of guaranty or
suretyship, including, without limitation, substantive defenses and procedural
defenses, are waived and released by Guarantor to the extent permitted by law.
Except as provided in the preceding sentence, under no circumstances will the
liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty be terminated either with respect to
any period of time when the liability of Tenant under the Lease continues, or
with respect to any circumstances as to which the Guaranteed Obligations have
not been fully discharged by payment or performance.
Section 2. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed
Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
the Lease. The liability and responsibilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim,
setoff, or deduction and shall not be released, discharged, affected or impaired
by (i) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment or performance of any
of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from or termination of the Lease, (ii) any release or discharge of
Tenant in any bankruptcy, receivership or other similar proceedings, (iii) the
impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Tenant or the estate
of Tenant in bankruptcy or of any remedy for the enforcement of Tenant's
liability under the Lease, resulting from the operation of any present or future
provisions of any bankruptcy code or other statute or from the decision in any
court, the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings, or
the assignment or transfer of the Lease by Tenant, (iv) any failure, omission or
delay on the part of Landlord, to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power
or remedy conferred on or available to Landlord in or by the Lease or this
Guaranty, or any action on the part of Landlord granting indulgence or extension
in any form whatsoever or any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability as to
Tenant of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security
therefore, (v) the waiver by Landlord of the performance or observance by Tenant
or Guarantor of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained
in the Lease or this Guaranty, (vi) any merger, consolidation, reorganization or
similar transaction involving Tenant even if Tenant is a disappearing party in
such transaction, (vii) the inability of Landlord or any Tenant to enforce any
provision of the Lease for any reason, (viii) any change in the corporate
relationship between Tenant and Guarantor or any termination of such
relationship, (ix) any change in the ownership of all or any part of the member
interests of Tenant, (x) the inability of Tenant to perform, or the release of
Tenant or Guarantor from the performance of, any obligation, agreement,
covenant, term or condition under the Lease or this Guaranty by reason of any
law, regulation or decree, now or hereafter in effect, (xi) any merger of the
leasehold estate of Tenant with the fee estate or any other estate in the Leased
Property, or (xii) any disability or other defense of Tenant. Landlord and
Tenant, without notice to or consent by Guarantor, may at any time or times
enter into such modifications, extensions, amendments, or other covenants with
respect to the Lease as they may deem appropriate and Guarantor shall not be
released thereby, but shall continue to be fully liable for the payment and
performance of all liabilities, obligations and duties of Tenant under the Lease
as so modified, extended or amended.
Section 3. REINSTATEMENT. Guarantor further agrees that, if at any time
all or any part of any payment theretofore applied to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever
(including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
Guarantor), such Guaranteed Obligations shall, for the purposes of this
Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned,
be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and
this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, as to such Guaranteed Obligations, all as though such application had not
been made.
Section 4. CERTAIN ACTIONS. Landlord may, from time to time at its
discretion and without notice to Guarantor, take any or all of the following
actions: (a) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor
or obligors, in addition to Guarantor, with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (b) extend or renew for one or more periods (regardless of whether
longer than the original period), or release or compromise any obligation of
Guarantor hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor

7.3 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of Landlord to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
other remedies available at law or equity.
7.4 Continuing Guaranty; Transfer of Interest. This Guaranty shall create
a continuing guaranty and will (i) remain in full force and effect until payment
and performance in full and termination of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) be
binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together
with the rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, to the benefit of Landlord
and its successors, as permitted under the Lease. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause, if and when Landlord assigns or otherwise
transfers any interest held by it under the Lease to any other
C-4
person, that other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits
held by Landlord under this Guaranty.
7.5 GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
Section 8. INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that
the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor to Landlord has served
as a material inducement to Landlord to execute and deliver the Lease, and
Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that but for the execution and
delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor, Landlord would not have executed and
delivered the Lease.
Section 9. ATTORNEYS' FEES. Should it become necessary for Landlord to
execute any action or proceeding to enforce Guarantor's obligations under this
Guaranty due to the occurrence of default by Guarantor hereunder and Landlord
prevails in such action or proceeding, Landlord and in addition to the other
rights of Landlord hereunder, shall be permitted to recover from Guarantor the
reasonable attorney's fees, court costs related to the enforcement of the rights
of Landlord hereunder and any other related reasonable expenses incurred by
Landlord.
Section 10. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The stated rights of Landlord under this
Guaranty shall be understood as not excluding any other legal or equitable
rights of Landlord against Guarantor not expressly set forth herein, but shall
be understood as being cumulative to all such all other legal and equitable
rights of Landlord arising out of Guarantor's obligations hereunder and not
expressly stated herein.
Section 11. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. Guarantor hereby irrevocably
submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any State or Federal court located
in Dallas, Texas over any action, suit or proceeding to enforce or defend any
right under this Guaranty or otherwise arising from or relating to this
Guaranty, and Guarantor irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action, suit or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court.
Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum or venue to the
maintenance of any such action, suit or proceeding. Guarantor hereby agrees that
a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law.
Section 12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any right to a trial by jury in any action,
suit or proceeding to enforce or defend any rights under this Guaranty or any
other transaction document or any amendment, instrument, document or agreement
delivered or which may in the future be delivered in connection herewith or
arising from or relating to any relationship existing in connection with this
guaranty, and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that
any such action, suit or proceeding shall be tried before a court and not before
a jury.
Section 13. COOPERATION, FURTHER ASSURANCES. Guarantor covenants, and agrees to
sign, execute and deliver or cause to be signed, executed and delivered and to
do or make, or to cause to be done or make, upon the written request of
Landlord, any and all agreements, instruments, papers, deeds, acts or things,
supplemental, confirming or otherwise, as may be reasonably required by Landlord
for the purpose of, or in connection with, the transaction contemplated hereby.
Upon full and final payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations,
Landlord agrees to execute a release for the benefit of Guarantor, in form and
content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Except to the extent expressly
provided otherwise in any guaranty or indemnity from Guarantor or its Parent to
Landlord or its
C-5
Affiliates, in no event shall any trustee, shareholder, member, guarantor,
partner, employee, officer or beneficiary of Guarantor be personally liable for
any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
