in arrears based on the amount of Additional Rent payable for the preceding
Lease Year.
(c) Date of Payment of Additional Rent. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an Officer's Certificate setting forth the calculation of
Additional Rent due and payable for each Leased Property for each month of
any Lease Year. Each monthly payment of Additional Rent is due and payable
and shall be delivered to Landlord, together with such Officer's
Certificate, together with the applicable installment of the Minimum Rent
and shall be payable in the manner hereinabove provided for payment of
Minimum Rent.
(d) Reconciliation of Additional Rent. In addition, on or
before March 31, of each year, commencing March 31, 1998, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord certified audits of Tenant's financial operations for
the preceding Lease Year, together with a certificate from certified public
accountants reasonably acceptable to Landlord, in form reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, setting forth the Total Revenues for each Leased
Property for such preceding Lease Year and such other matters as Landlord
may from time to time reasonably request.
If the annual Additional Rent for the Collective Leased
Properties for such preceding Lease Year as shown in the year-end
certificate exceeds the amount previously paid with respect thereto by
Tenant, Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord at such time as the
certificate is delivered, together with interest at the Interest Rate,
which interest shall accrue from the close of such preceding Lease Year
until the date paid. If the Annual Additional Rent for the Collective
Leased Properties for such preceding Lease Year as shown in the year-end
certificate is less than the amount previously paid with respect thereto by
Tenant, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit equal to the amount of such
overpayment against Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such
overpayment, as finally agreed or determined. If such a credit cannot be
made because the
-22-
Term has expired before such credit can be effected, provided that no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the amount of
such difference to Tenant. If an Event of Default has occurred, Landlord
shall apply such amounts to amounts due and owing under this Agreement and
to the costs of collection of the same and shall pay any excess to Tenant.
(e) Confirmation of Additional Rent. Tenant shall utilize, or
cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Collective Leased
Properties in accordance with its usual and customary practices and in
accordance with GAAP, which will accurately record all Total Revenues, and
shall employ Ernst & Young LLP or other independent accountants reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, and Tenant shall retain, for at least five (5)
years after the expiration of each Lease Year, reasonably adequate records
conforming to such accounting system showing all Total Revenues for such
Lease Year. Landlord, at its own expense except as provided hereinbelow,
shall have the right from time to time by its accountants or
representatives to audit the information set forth in the Officer's
Certificate referred to in subparagraph (c) above or the year-end
certificate referred to in subparagraph (d) above and, in connection with
such audits, to examine Tenant's books and records (upon reasonable notice
during customary business hours) with respect thereto (including supporting
data and sales and excise tax returns) subject to any prohibitions or
limitations on disclosure of any such data under applicable law or
regulations, including such limitations as may be necessary to preserve the
confidentiality of the facility-patient relationship and the physician-
patient privilege and/or other similar privilege or confidentiality
obligations. If any such audit discloses that the Total Revenues actually
received by Tenant for any Lease Year exceed those reported by Tenant by
more than three percent (3%), Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of such
audit and examination. If any such audit discloses that Tenant paid more
Additional Rent for any Lease Year than was due hereunder, provided no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall grant
Tenant a credit equal to the amount of such overpayment against Additional
Rent next coming due in the amount of such difference. If such a credit
cannot be made because the Term has expired before such credit can be
effected, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Landlord shall pay the amount of such difference to Tenant. If an Event of
Default has occurred, Landlord shall apply such amounts to amounts due and
owing under this Agreement and to the costs of collection of the same and
shall pay any excess to Tenant.
-23-
Any proprietary information obtained by Landlord pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement shall be treated as confidential, except that
such information may be used, subject to appropriate confidentiality
safeguards, in any litigation between the parties and except further that
Landlord may disclose such information to its prospective lenders. The
obligations of Tenant and Landlord contained in this Section 3.1.2 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
3.1.3 Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent and
Additional Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay and discharge as and when
due and payable the following (collectively, "Additional Charges"):
(a) Impositions. Subject to Article 8 relating to Permitted
Contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any
fine, penalty, interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a
result of a failure to take advantage of any discount for early payment)
may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the
taxing authorities where feasible, and shall promptly, upon request,
furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof
evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the
taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall
accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the
option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of
such Imposition) in installments and, in such event, subject to Article 8
relating to Permitted Contests, shall pay such installments which are due
during or with respect to periods occurring during the Term as the same
become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost
may be added thereto. Landlord, at its expense, shall, to the extent
required or permitted by applicable law, prepare and file all tax returns
in respect of Landlord's net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single
business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and
taxes on its capital stock, and Tenant, at its expense, shall, to the
extent required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare
and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as
may be required by Government Agencies. Provided no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, if any refund shall be due from any taxing
authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall be
paid over to or retained by Tenant. If an Event of Default has occurred,
Landlord shall apply such amounts to amounts due and owing under this
Agreement and to the costs of collection of the same and shall pay any
excess to Tenant. 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
-24-
respect to the Collective Leased Properties as may be necessary to prepare
any required returns and reports. In the event Government Agencies classify
any property covered by this Agreement as personal property, Tenant shall
file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may
legally so file. Each party shall, to the extent it possesses the same,
provide the other, 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, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices in
sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest. All Impositions assessed
against such personal property shall be (irrespective of whether Landlord
or Tenant shall file the relevant return) paid by Tenant not later than the
last date on which the same may be made without interest or penalty,
subject to the provisions of Article 8 relating to Permitted Contests. If
the provisions of any Facility Mortgage require deposits on account of
Impositions to be made with such Facility Mortgagee, provided the Facility
Mortgagee has not elected to waive such provision, Tenant shall either pay
Landlord the monthly amounts required at the time and place that payments
of Minimum Rent are required and Landlord shall transfer such amounts to
such Facility Mortgagee or, pursuant to written direction by Landlord,
Tenant shall make such deposits directly with such Facility Mortgagee and
any interest paid to Landlord with respect thereto shall be credited to
Tenant.
Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions
payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge;
provided, however, that Landlord's failure to give any such notice shall in
no way diminish Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions,
except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any late charges or
penalties attributable to Landlord's failure to give such Notice promptly
to Tenant.
(b) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in
connection with the Collective Leased Properties.
(c) Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid
all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant
to Article 9.
(d) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
other amounts, liabilities and obligations which Tenant assumes or agrees
to pay under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all agreements
to indemnify Landlord under Sections 4.4 and 9.7.
-25-
(e) Reimbursement for Additional Charges. If Tenant pays or
causes to be paid property taxes or similar Additional Charges attributable
to periods after the end of the Term, whether upon expiration or sooner
termination of this Agreement (other than termination following an Event of
Default) and Tenant has not exercised its right to purchase the Collective
Leased Properties as provided herein, Tenant may, within sixty (60) days of
the end of the Term, provide Notice to Landlord of its estimate of such
amounts. Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all payments of such
taxes and other similar Additional Charges that are attributable to any
period after the Term of this Agreement (unless this Agreement shall have
been terminated following an Event of Default). If an Event of Default has
occurred, Landlord shall apply such amounts to amounts due and owing under
this Agreement and to the costs of collection of the same and shall pay any
excess to Tenant.
3.2 Late Payment of Rent. If any installment of Minimum Rent,
Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges
which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid on its due date,
Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge (to
the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such
installment, from the due date of such installment to the date of payment
thereof. To the extent that Tenant pays any Additional Charges directly to
Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee pursuant to any requirement of this
Agreement, Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional
Charges to the Entity to which they would otherwise be due.
In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Charges
when due, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as Additional Charges, every
fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late
payment of such items. Landlord shall have all legal, equitable and contractual
rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Agreement or by statute or
otherwise in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of
non-payment of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent.
3.3 Net Lease. The Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be
absolutely net to Landlord so that this Agreement shall yield to Landlord the
full amount of the installments or amounts of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent
throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this Agreement which
expressly provide for adjustment or abatement of such Rent.
3.4 No Termination, Abatement, Etc. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, Tenant, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
shall remain bound by this Agreement in accordance with its terms and shall
neither take any action without the consent of Landlord to modify, surrender or
terminate
-26-
this Agreement, nor seek, nor be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment
or reduction of the Rent, or set-off against the Rent, nor shall the respective
obligations of Landlord and Tenant be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any
damage to or destruction of any of the Collective Leased Properties or any
portion thereof from whatever cause or any Condemnation; (b) the lawful or
unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant's use of any of the
Collective Leased Properties, or any portion thereof, or the interference with
such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any
claim which Tenant may have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach
of any warranty by Landlord under this Agreement; (d) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution,
winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee
of Landlord; or (e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of
the foregoing. Tenant hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence
whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law, to (a)
modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement or quit or surrender any of the
Collective Leased Properties or any portion thereof; or (b) entitle Tenant to
any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums
payable or other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder, except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. The obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and the
Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable
in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated,
modified or amended pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.

USE OF THE COLLECTIVE LEASED PROPERTIES
---------------------------------------
4.1 Permitted Use.
4.1.1 Primary Intended Use. Tenant shall, at all times during
the Term and at any other time that Tenant shall be in possession of any
Leased Property, continuously use each of the Collective Leased Properties
as a senior housing and assisted living facility and for such other uses as
may be related, incidental or necessary thereto (such use being hereinafter
referred to as such Leased Property's "Primary Intended Use"). Except for
uses as provided and described in Section 16.3, Tenant shall not use any of
the Collective Leased Properties or any portion thereof for any other use
without the prior written consent of Landlord. No use shall be made or
permitted to be made of any of the Collective Leased Properties and no acts
shall be done thereon which will cause the cancellation of any insurance
policy covering any of the Collective Leased Properties or
-27-
any part thereof (unless another adequate policy is available), nor shall
Tenant sell or otherwise provide to residents or patients therein, or
permit to be kept, used or sold in or about any of the Collective Leased
Properties any article which may be prohibited by law or by the standard
form of fire insurance policies, or any other insurance policies required
to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriter's regulations. Tenant shall,
at its sole cost, comply with all of the requirements pertaining to the
Collective Leased Properties of any insurance board, association,
organization or company necessary for the maintenance of insurance, as
herein provided, covering the Collective Leased Properties and Tenant's
Personal Property, including, without limitation, the Insurance

Intended Use.
4.1.2 Necessary Approvals. Tenant shall proceed with all due
diligence and exercise best efforts to obtain and maintain all approvals
necessary to use and operate, for its Primary Intended Use, each of the
Collective Leased Properties and each Facility located thereon under
applicable law and, without limiting the foregoing, shall use its best
efforts to maintain appropriate certifications for reimbursement and
licensure, if any.
4.1.3 Lawful Use, Etc. Tenant shall not use or suffer or permit
the use of any of the Collective Leased Properties or Tenant's Personal
Property for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be

Facility, nor shall Tenant cause or permit any nuisance thereon or therein.
Tenant shall neither suffer nor permit any of the Collective Leased
Properties or any portion thereof, including any Capital Addition, or
Tenant's Personal Property, to be used in such a manner as (a) might
reasonably tend to impair Landlord's (or Tenant's, as the case may be)
title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (b) may reasonably make
possible a claim or claims for adverse usage or adverse possession by the
public, as such, or of implied dedication of the applicable Leased Property
or any portion thereof.
4.2 Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements, Etc. Subject to
the provisions of Article 8, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall (a) comply in
all material respects with Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in
respect of the use, operation, maintenance, repair, alteration and restoration
of all of the Collective Leased Properties, and (b) procure, maintain
-28-
and comply in all material respects with all appropriate licenses, certificates
of need, permits, provider agreements and other authorizations and agreements
required for any use of the Collective Leased Properties and Tenant's Personal
Property then being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation
and maintenance of the Collective Leased Properties or any part thereof,
including, without limitation, any Capital Additions, except where the failure
to comply will not have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of any
of the Collective Leased Properties for its Primary Intended Use or adversely
effect Total Revenues.
4.3 Compliance with Medicaid and Medicare Requirements. Tenant shall,
at its sole cost and expense, make whatever improvements (capital or ordinary)
as are required to conform in all material respects each of the Collective
Leased Properties to such standards, if any, as may, from time to time, be
required by Federal Medicare (Title 18) or Medicaid (Title 19) skilled and/or
intermediate care nursing programs, to the extent Tenant is a participant in
such programs, or any other applicable programs or legislation, or capital
improvements required by any other governmental agency having jurisdiction over
such Leased Property as a condition of the continued operation of such Leased
Property for its Primary Intended Use, except where the failure to comply will
not have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of any of the
Collective Leased Properties for its Primary Intended Use or adversely effect
Total Revenues.
4.4 Environmental Matters.
4.4.1 Restriction on Use, Etc. Tenant shall not store, spill
upon, dispose of or transfer to or from the Collective Leased Properties
any Hazardous Substance, except that Tenant may store, transfer and dispose
of Hazardous Substances in material compliance with all Applicable Laws.
Tenant shall maintain the Collective Leased Properties at all times free of
any Hazardous Substance (except such Hazardous Substances as are maintained
in compliance with all Applicable Laws). Tenant shall promptly: (a) notify
Landlord in writing of any change in the nature or extent of Hazardous
Substances at any of the Collective Leased Properties to the extent such
change violates Applicable Laws; (b) transmit to Landlord a copy of any
Community Right to Know report which is required to be filed by Tenant with
respect to any of the Collective Leased Properties pursuant to ▇▇▇▇ Title
III or any other Applicable Law; (c) transmit to Landlord copies of any
citations, orders, notices or other governmental communications received by
Tenant or its agents or representatives with respect thereto (collectively,
"Environmental Notice"), which Environmental Notice requires a written
response or any action to be taken
-29-
and/or if such Environmental Notice gives notice of and/or could give rise
to a violation of any Applicable Law and/or could give rise to any cost,
expense, loss or damage (an "Environmental Obligation"); (d) observe and
comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws relating to the
use, maintenance and disposal of Hazardous Substances and all orders or
directives from any official, court or agency of competent jurisdiction
relating to the use or maintenance or requiring the removal, treatment,
containment or other disposition thereof; and (e) pay or otherwise dispose
of any fine, charge or Imposition related thereto, unless Tenant shall
contest the same in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and the right
to use and the value of any of the Collective Leased Properties is not
materially and adversely affected thereby.
If, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement,
Hazardous Substances are discovered on any of the Collective Leased
Properties in violation of Applicable Law, Tenant shall take all actions
and incur any and all expenses, as may be reasonably necessary and as may
be required by any Government Agency, (i) to clean up and remove from and
about the Collective Leased Properties all Hazardous Substances thereon,
(ii) to contain and prevent any further release or threat of release of
Hazardous Substances on or about the Collective Leased Properties and (iii)
to use good faith efforts to eliminate any further release or threat of
release of Hazardous Substances on or about the Collective Leased
Properties.
4.4.2 Environment Report. Six (6) months prior to expiration of
the Term, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall designate a qualified
environmental engineer, satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion,
which engineer shall conduct an environmental investigation of the
Collective Leased Properties and prepare an environmental site assessment
report (the "Environmental Report") with respect thereto. The scope of such
Environmental Report shall include, without limitation, review of relevant
records, interviews with persons knowledgeable about the Collective Leased
Properties and relevant governmental agencies, a site inspection of the
Collective Leased Properties, any buildings, the fencelines of the
Collective Leased Properties and adjoining properties (Phase I) and shall
otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord. If
such investigation, in the opinion of the performing engineer, indicates
that any of the Collective Leased Properties are not free from oil,
asbestos, radon and other Hazardous Substances (except in compliance with
Applicable Laws), such investigation shall also include a more detailed
physical site inspection,
-30-
appropriate testing, subsurface and otherwise, and review of historical
records (Phase II) to demonstrate the compliance of such of the Collective
Leased Properties with Applicable Laws and the absence of Hazardous
Substances.
Copies of the Environmental Report, and supplements and
amendments thereto, shall be provided to Landlord. With respect to any
recommendations contained in the Environmental Report, violations of
Applicable Laws and/or the existence of any conditions at any of the
Collective Leased Properties which could give rise to an Environmental
Obligation, Tenant shall promptly give Notice thereof to Landlord, together
with a description, setting forth in reasonable detail, all actions Tenant
proposes to take in connection therewith and Tenant shall promptly take all
actions, and incur any and all expenses, as may be reasonably necessary and
as may be required by any Government Agency and as may be reasonably
required by Landlord, to the extent required by Applicable Law, (i) to
clean up, remove or remediate from and about the Collective Leased
Properties all Hazardous Substances thereon, (ii) to contain, prevent and
eliminate any further release or threat of release of Hazardous Substances
on or about the Collective Leased Properties, and (iii) otherwise to
eliminate such violation or condition from the Collective Leased Properties
to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord.
4.4.3 Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant shall protect,
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and each Facility Mortgagee, their
trustees, officers, agents, employees and beneficiaries, and any of their
respective successors or assigns (hereafter the "Indemnitees," and when
referred to singly, an "Indemnitee") for, from and against any and all
debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders or notices,
costs, fines, penalties or expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee resulting from, either directly or
indirectly, the presence in, upon or under the soil or ground water of any
of the Collective Leased Properties or any properties surrounding any of
the Collective Leased Properties of any Hazardous Substances in violation
of any Applicable Law or otherwise by reason of any failure by Tenant or
any Person to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Section 4.4.
Tenant's duty herein includes, but is not limited to, costs associated with
personal injury or property damage claims as a result of the presence of
Hazardous Substances in, upon or under the soil or ground water of any of
the Collective Leased Properties in violation of any Applicable Law. Upon
Notice
-31-
from Landlord, Tenant shall undertake the defense, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, of any indemnification duties set forth herein.
Tenant shall, upon demand, pay to Landlord, as an Additional
Charge, any cost, expense, loss or damage (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord and arising from a failure
of Tenant strictly to observe and perform the foregoing requirements, which
amounts shall bear interest from the date incurred until paid by Tenant to
Landlord at the Overdue Rate.
4.4.4 Survival. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5
---------
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS, ETC.
-----------------------------
5.1 Maintenance and Repair.
5.1.1 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, keep each of the Collective Leased Properties and all private
roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto (and Tenant's Personal
Property) in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted
(whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant's
use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the Collective Leased
Properties or Tenant's Personal Property, or any portion thereof), and
shall promptly make all necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements
thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior, structural
or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or
arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the
Term (concealed or otherwise); provided, however, that Tenant shall be
permitted to prosecute claims against Landlord's predecessors in title for
breach of any representation or warranty made to or on behalf of Landlord,
whether in contract, at law or in equity, or for any latent defects in the
Collective Leased Properties. All repairs shall be made in good,
workmanlike and first-class manner, in accordance with all applicable
federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, by-laws, codes, rules and
regulations relating to any such work. Tenant shall not take or omit to
take any action, the taking or omission of which would materially impair
the value or the usefulness of any of the Collective Leased Properties or
any part thereof for its respective Primary Intended Uses. Tenant's
obligations under this
-32-
Section 5.1.1 as to any of the Collective Leased Properties shall be
limited in the event of any casualty or Condemnation involving such Leased
Property as set forth in Sections 10.2 and 11.2. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Section 5.1 to the contrary, Tenant's obligations with
respect to Hazardous Substances are as set forth in Section 4.4.
5.1.2 Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall not, under any
circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any improvement on the
Collective Leased Properties, or to make any repairs, replacements,
alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the
Collective Leased Properties, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural
or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure
whatsoever with respect thereto (except as provided in Articles 10 and 11
with respect to disbursement of insurance and Award proceeds), or to
maintain the Collective Leased Properties in any way, except as
specifically provided herein. Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord
pursuant to any law in effect on the date hereof or hereafter enacted.
Landlord shall have the right to give, record and post, as appropriate,
notices of nonresponsibility under any mechanic's lien laws now or
hereafter existing.
5.1.3 Nonresponsibility of Landlord; No Mechanics Liens.
Landlord's interest in the Collective Leased Properties shall not be
subject to liens for Capital Additions made by Tenant and Tenant shall have
no power or authority to create any lien or permit any lien to attach to
any of the Collective Leased Properties or the present estate, reversion or
other estate of Landlord in the Collective Leased Properties or on the
building or other improvements thereon as a result of Capital Additions
made by Tenant or for any other cause or reason. All materialmen,
contractors, artisans, mechanics and laborers and other persons contracting
with Tenant with respect to the Collective Leased Properties, or any part
thereof, are hereby charged with notice that such liens are expressly
prohibited and that they must look solely to Tenant to secure payment for
any work done or material furnished for Capital Additions by Tenant or for
any other purpose during the term of this Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed
in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or
implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor,
laborer or materialmen for the performance of any labor or the furnishing
of any
-33-
materials for any alteration, addition, improvement or repair to any of the
Collective Leased Properties or any part thereof or as giving Tenant any
right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any
services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the
filing of any lien against any of the Collective Leased Properties or any
part thereof nor to subject Landlord's estate in any of the Collective
Leased Properties or any part thereof to liability under any Mechanic's
Lien Law of the State in any way, it being expressly understood Landlord's
estate shall not be subject to any such liability.
5.2 Tenant's Personal Property. Tenant may (and shall as provided
hereinbelow), at its expense, install, affix or assemble or place on any parcels
of the Land or in any of the Leased Improvements, any items of Tenant's Personal
Property, and Tenant may, subject to the conditions set forth below, remove the
same at any time, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. Tenant shall provide and maintain throughout the Term all such
Tenant's Personal Property as shall be necessary in order to operate all of the
Facilities located at the Collective Leased Properties in material compliance
with all applicable licensure and certification requirements, in compliance with
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 Agreement shall be considered abandoned by Tenant and may be
appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord 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 each of the Collective Leased Properties to the condition
required by Section 5.3, including repair of all damage to the Collective Leased
Properties caused by the removal of Tenant's Personal Property, whether effected
by Tenant or Landlord.
If Tenant uses any item of tangible personal property (other than
motor vehicles) on, or in connection with, any Leased Property which belongs to
anyone other than Tenant, Tenant shall use its reasonable efforts to require the
agreement permitting such use to provide that Landlord or its designee may
assume Tenant's rights under such agreement upon management or operation of the
applicable Facility by Landlord or its designee.
5.3 Yield Up. (a) Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this
Agreement, Tenant shall vacate and surrender each of the Collective Leased
Properties to Landlord in the condition in which each of the Collective Leased
Properties was in on the Commencement Date, except as repaired, rebuilt,
restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the
-34-
provisions of this Agreement, reasonable wear and tear excepted (and casualty
damage and Condemnation, in the event that this Agreement is terminated with
respect to any of the Collective Leased Properties following a casualty or total
Condemnation in accordance with Article 10 or Article 11).
In addition, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement, 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 Facilities located on the Collective Leased
Properties. If requested by Landlord, Tenant will continue to manage any such
Facility after the expiration of the Term and for as long thereafter as is
necessary 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 expenses, and reasonable administrative
costs) as Landlord shall request.
(b) Effective on not less than fifteen (15) days' prior Notice given
at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of the Term (or such shorter period
as shall be appropriate if this Agreement is terminated with respect to any of
the Collective Leased Properties prior to its expiration date), Landlord shall
have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of Tenant's Personal
Property (except motor vehicles) with respect to any of the Collective Leased
Properties, at the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement with
respect to such Leased Property, for an amount equal to the then fair market
value thereof (determined by the agreement of Landlord and Tenant if they can
agree and otherwise in accordance with the appraisal procedures set forth in
Article 19), 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. Tenant's
Personal Property shall be conveyed 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 previous sentence, have not been
made. Failure of Landlord to notify Tenant of its election to purchase Tenant's
Personal Property at any of the Collective Leased Properties by the 75th day
prior to the expiration of this Agreement (or such shorter period as may be
appropriate if this Agreement is terminated with respect to any of the
Collective Leased Properties prior to its expiration date)
-35-
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to purchase Tenant's
Personal Property with respect to such Leased Property.
5.4 Encroachments, Restrictions, Etc. If any of the Leased
Improvements shall, at any time, encroach upon any property, street or right-of-
way adjacent to the affected Leased Property, or shall violate the agreements or
conditions contained in any lawful restrictive covenant or other agreement
affecting any of the Collective Leased Properties, or any part thereof, or shall
impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way to which any of
the Collective Leased Properties is subject, upon the request of Landlord (but
only as to any encroachment, violation or impairment that is not a Permitted
Encumbrance) or of any Person affected by any such encroachment, violation or
impairment, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, subject to its right to
contest the existence of any encroachment, violation or impairment in accordance
with the provisions of Article 8, either (a) obtain valid and effective waivers
or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such
encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall affect Landlord or
Tenant, or (b) make such changes in the Leased Improvements and take such other
actions, as are reasonably practicable to remove such encroachment and to end
such violation or impairment, including, if necessary, the alteration of any of
the Leased Improvements and, in any event, take all such actions as may be
necessary in order to ensure the continued operation of the affected Leased
Improvements for their respective Primary Intended Use substantially in the
manner and to the extent such Leased Improvements were operated prior to the
assertion of such violation, impairment or encroachment. Any such alteration
shall be made in conformity with the applicable requirements of this Article 5.
Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.4 shall be in addition to and shall in
no way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of
title or other insurance.
5.5 Landlord to Grant Easements, Etc. Landlord shall from time to
time, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at
the request of Tenant and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, (a) grant easements
and other rights in the nature of easements with respect to any of the
Collective Leased Properties to third parties; (b) release existing easements or
other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of any of the
Collective Leased Properties; (c) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of
any of the Collective Leased Properties for road, highway or other public
purposes; (d) execute petitions to have any of the Collective Leased Properties
annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district; (e) execute amendments
to any covenants and restrictions affecting any of the Collective Leased
Properties; and (f) execute and
-36-
deliver to any Person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such
grants, release, dedications, transfers, petitions and amendments (to the extent
of its interests in such Leased Property); provided, however, that Landlord
shall have first reasonably determined in good faith that such grant, release,
dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is not detrimental to the operation
of the applicable Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use and does not
materially reduce the value of such Leased Property, and Landlord shall have
received an Officer's Certificate certifying that such grant, release,
dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is not detrimental to the operation
of the applicable Leased Property for its Primary Intended use and does not
materially reduce the value of such Leased Property, together with such
additional information with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably request.

CAPITAL ADDITIONS, ETC.
-----------------------
6.1 Construction of Capital Additions. Tenant shall not construct or
install Capital Additions on any of the Collective Leased Properties 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 so long as (a) the Capital Additions Costs for
such Capital Addition are less than $250,000 in the aggregate; (b) such
construction or installation would not adversely affect or violate any Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement applicable to the applicable Leased
Property; and (c) Landlord shall have received an Officer's Certificate
certifying as to the satisfaction of the conditions set out in clauses (a) and
(b) above. 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. 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 Leased
Improvement on the applicable
-37-
Leased Property with any other improvements on property adjacent to such Leased
Property (and not part of the Land), including, without limitation, tie-ins of
buildings or other structures or utilities. Tenant shall not finance the cost
of any construction of any Capital Addition except as provided in Section 6.2.1.
Any Capital Additions (including Tenant's Capital Additions) shall, upon the
expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, pass to and become the
property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances other than Permitted
Encumbrances but subject to Landlord's obligation to compensate Tenant for
Tenant's Capital Additions as provided below.
6.2 Capital Additions Financed or Paid For by Tenant.
6.2.1 Financing of Capital Additions. Tenant may arrange for
financing for Capital Additions, provided, that (a) the terms and
conditions of any such financing shall be commercially reasonable; (b) any
lender with respect thereto shall be a Subordinated Creditor and any
security interests in any property of Tenant, including, without
limitation, the applicable Leased Property, shall be expressly and fully
subordinated to this Agreement and to the interest of Landlord in the
applicable Leased Property and to the rights of any Facility Mortgagee; and
(c) the aggregate proceeds of such financing shall be used for improvements
in or at the Collective Leased Properties. Otherwise, the terms of Tenant's
financing of any Capital Additions shall be subject to Landlord's prior
written approval, which approval may be given or withheld by Landlord in
Landlord's sole discretion.
6.2.2 Purchase by Landlord. If, pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement, Tenant either pays for or arranges financing (to the extent
permitted in Section 6.2.1) to pay for the costs of construction or
installation of any Capital Addition ("Tenant's Capital Additions") (but
excluding, in any event, any Capital Addition financed by or through
Landlord including, without limitation, all Capital Additions paid for or
financed through disbursements under Section 6.5), upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement (but if this Agreement is terminated
by reason of an Event of Default, only after Landlord is fully compensated
for all damages resulting therefrom), Landlord shall compensate Tenant for
all Tenant's Capital Additions in any of the following ways determined in
Landlord's sole discretion:
(a) By purchasing such Tenant's Capital Additions from Tenant
for cash in the amount of the then Fair Market Added Value of such Tenant's
Capital Additions; or
-38-
(b) By making such other arrangement regarding such compensation
as shall be mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.
6.3 Capital Additions Financed by Landlord. If Landlord shall, at
the request of Tenant and in Landlord's sole discretion (except as provided in
Section 6.5), elect to finance any proposed Capital Addition, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with such information as Landlord may from time to time
request, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) Evidence that such Capital Addition will be, and, upon
completion, has been, completed in compliance with the applicable
requirements of State and federal law with respect to capital expenditures
for facilities like the Facilities;
(b) Copies of all building, zoning and land use permits and
approvals and upon completion of such Capital Addition, a copy of the
certificate of occupancy for such Capital Addition, if required;
(c) Such information, certificates, licenses, permits or other
documents necessary to confirm that Tenant will be able to use the Capital
Addition upon completion thereof in accordance with the Primary Intended
Use, including all required federal, State or local government licenses and
approvals;
(d) An Officer's Certificate and a certificate from Tenant's
architect, if available, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the projected
(or actual, if available) Capital Additions Cost and invoices and lien
waivers from Tenant's contractors for such work;
(e) A deed conveying to Landlord title to any land acquired for
the purpose of constructing the Capital Addition free and clear of any
liens or encumbrances, except those approved by Landlord, and, upon
completion of the Capital Addition, a final as-built survey thereof
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(f) Endorsements to any outstanding policy of title insurance
covering the applicable Leased Property or commitments therefor, reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord, (i) updating the same
without any additional exceptions except as reasonably approved by
Landlord, and (ii) increasing the coverage thereof by an amount equal to
the Fair Market Value of the Capital Addition (except to the extent covered
by the owner's policy of title insurance referred to in subparagraph (g)
below);
-39-
(g) If appropriate, (i) an owner's policy of title insurance
insuring fee simple title to any land conveyed to Landlord pursuant to
subparagraph (e) above, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances,
except those reasonably approved by Landlord, and (ii) a lender's policy of
title insurance, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord
and any Facility Mortgagee; and
(h) Prints of architectural and engineering drawings relating
to such Capital Addition and such other certificates, documents, opinions
of counsel, appraisals, surveys, certified copies of duly adopted
resolutions of the board of directors of Tenant authorizing the execution
and delivery of any lease amendment or other instruments reasonably
required by Landlord, any Facility Mortgagee and any Lending Institution
advancing or reimbursing Landlord or Tenant for any portion of the Capital
Additions Cost.
If Landlord shall finance the proposed Capital Addition, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord
and any Facility Mortgagee or Lending Institution which has committed to finance
such Capital Addition in connection therewith, including, but not limited to,
(a) the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, (b) all printing expenses, (c)
all filing, registration and recording taxes and fees, (d) documentary stamp
taxes, (e) title insurance charges, appraisal fees, and rating agency fees, and
(f) commitment fees.
6.4 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 Collective Leased Properties which are not
Capital Additions ("Non-Capital Additions") from time to time as Tenant, in its
discretion, may deem desirable for the applicable Primary Intended Use provided
that any such Non-Capital Addition will not materially alter the character or
purpose or materially detract from the value, operating efficiency or revenue-
producing capability of the applicable Leased Property or adversely affect the
ability of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and, without
limiting the foregoing, will not adversely affect or violate any Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement applicable to the applicable Leased
Property. All such Non-Capital Additions shall, upon expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement, pass to and become the property of Landlord, free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances.
6.5 Improvement Advances. At any time during that portion of the
Term commencing on the Commencement Date and expiring June 30, 1998, Landlord
agrees to advance to Tenant, from time to time, as hereinafter provided, an
aggregate amount of up to Two
-40-
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) for the purpose of making
Capital Additions and Non-Capital Additions to the Collective Lease Properties.
The obligation of Landlord to make each advance pursuant to this Section 6.5
shall be subject to the prior or simultaneous satisfaction of the following
conditions:
(a) at the time of each disbursement, no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing; and
(b) at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the date on which
Tenant desires a disbursement to be made hereunder (but in no event
subsequent to June 30, 1998), Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written
requisition and the substantiation therefor which shall include bills and
invoices with respect to the work for which reimbursement is sought,
together with such other information with respect thereto as Landlord may
reasonably require, including, without limitation, the items identified in
Section 6.3, if applicable. Any such requisition shall be for not less than
$250,000 (or such lesser amount as shall constitute the difference between
$2,500,000 and the aggregate of all prior disbursements). Such requisitions
shall be made not more frequently than monthly.
6.6 Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in
connection with the making of either Capital Additions or Non-Capital Additions
or repairs required by Article 5 shall be or become the property of the party
that paid for such work.
ARTICLE 7
---------
LIENS
-----
7.1 Liens. Subject to Article 8, 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,
encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the Collective
Leased Properties or Tenant's leasehold interest therein or any attachment,
levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (a) Permitted

to in writing by Landlord; (c) liens for those taxes of Landlord which Tenant is
not required to pay hereunder; (d) subleases permitted by Article 17; (e) liens

incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or

pursuant to the provisions of Article 21.
7.2 Landlord's Lien. In addition 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 Tenant's breach of this Agreement, Tenant hereby grants unto
Landlord a security interest in and an express contractual lien upon Tenant's
Personal Property (except motor vehicles), and all ledger sheets, files,
records, documents and instruments (including, without limitation, computer
programs, tapes and related electronic data processing) relating primarily to
the operation of the Facilities (the "Records") and all proceeds therefrom,
subject to any Permitted Encumbrances; and such Tenant's Personal Property shall
not be removed from the Collective Leased Properties at any time when an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Upon Landlord's reasonable 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. Tenant
hereby grants Landlord an irrevocable limited power of attorney, coupled with an
interest, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to execute all such financing statements in Tenant's name, place and
stead. The security interest herein granted is in addition to any statutory
lien for the Rent.
ARTICLE 8

PERMITTED CONTESTS
------------------
Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity of any
Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance, charge or claim (collectively, "Claims") as to any of the
Collective Leased Properties, by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted in
good faith and with due diligence, provided that (a) the foregoing shall in no
way be construed as relieving, modifying or extending Tenant's obligation to pay
any Claims as finally determined; (b)
-42-
such contest shall not cause Landlord or Tenant to be in default under any
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering such Leased Property or any interest
therein or result in a lien attaching to such Leased Property; (c) no part of
such Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom shall be in any immediate danger of
sale, forfeiture, attachment or loss; and (d) 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 any of the Collective Leased Properties, together with all interest and
penalties thereon will be paid, or (ii) deposit within the time otherwise
required for payment with a bank or trust company, as trustee, 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 any of the Collective Leased Properties,
or any part thereof, in connection with any such contest. Tenant shall furnish
Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee with reasonable evidence of such deposit,
title indemnity, endorsement or other assurance within five (5) days after
request therefor. Landlord agrees to join in any 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 (x) to pay
any Claims when finally determined, (y) to provide security therefor as provided
in this Article 8, or (z) to prosecute any such contest diligently and in good
faith, Landlord may, upon reasonable notice to Tenant which notice shall not be
required if Landlord shall reasonably determine that the same is not
practicable), pay such charges, together with interest and penalties due with
respect thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, upon demand, as
Additional Charges.

---------
INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
-----------------------------
9.1 General Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall, at all times
during the Term and at any other time Tenant shall be in possession of any of
the Collective Leased Properties, keep each of the Collective Leased Properties
and all property located therein or thereon, including Tenant's Personal
Property, insured
-43-
against the risks and in the amounts as follows and shall maintain the following
insurance:
(a) "All-risk" property insurance, including insurance against
loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, explosion of
steamboilers, pressure vessels or other similar apparatus, now or hereafter
installed in the Facility located at such Leased Property, extended
coverage perils, earthquake and all physical loss perils insurance,
including, but not limited to, sprinkler leakage, in an amount equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the then full Replacement Cost thereof (as
defined in Section 9.2) with the usual extended coverage endorsements,
including a Replacement Cost Endorsement and Builder's Risk Coverage during
the continuance of any construction at such Leased Property;
(b) Business interruption and blanket earnings plus extra
expense under a rental value insurance policy covering risk of loss during
the lesser of the first twelve (12) months of reconstruction or the actual
reconstruction period necessitated by the occurrence of any of the hazards
described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, in such amounts as may be
customary for comparable properties in the area and in an amount sufficient
to prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer;
(c) Comprehensive general liability insurance, including bodily
injury and property damage (on an occurrence basis and on a 1988 ISO CGL
form or its equivalent or otherwise in the broadest form available,
including, without limitation, broad form contractual liability, fire legal
liability independent contractor's hazard and completed operations
coverage) in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate and umbrella
coverage of all such claims in an amount not less than Twenty-Five Million
Dollars ($25,000,000);
(d) Flood (when the applicable Leased Property is located in
whole or in part within an area identified as an area having special flood
hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, or the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended (or any successor acts thereto)) and
such other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable
properties in the area;
(e) Worker's compensation insurance coverage for all persons
employed by Tenant on the applicable Leased Property with statutory limits
and otherwise with limits of and
-44-
provisions in accordance with the requirements of applicable local, State
and federal law, and employer's liability insurance in such amounts as
Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee shall reasonably require; and
(f) Such additional insurance as may be reasonably required,
from time to time, by Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee.
9.2 Replacement Cost. "Replacement Cost" as used herein shall mean
the actual replacement cost of the property requiring replacement from time to
time, including an increased cost of construction endorsement, less exclusions
provided in the standard form of fire insurance policy. In the event either
party believes that the then full Replacement Cost has increased or decreased at
any time during the Term, such party, at its own cost, shall have the right to
have such full Replacement Cost redetermined by an accredited appraiser approved
by the other, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
party desiring to have the full Replacement Cost so redetermined shall
forthwith, on receipt of such determination by such appraiser, give written
notice thereof to the other. The determination of such appraiser shall be final
and binding on the parties hereto, and Tenant shall forthwith conform the amount
of the insurance carried to the amount so determined by the appraiser.
9.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree that (insofar
as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating
or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance
companies doing business in the State) with respect to any property loss which
is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant, respectively,
the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the other of
and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree
that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation
against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium may result
therefrom. In the event that any extra premium is payable by Tenant as a result
of this provision, Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for
such extra premium.
9.4 Form Satisfactory, Etc. All insurance policies and endorsements
required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be fully paid for, nonassessable and
shall contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and
amounts and issued by insurance carriers authorized to do business in the State,
having a general policy holder's rating of A or A+ in Best's latest rating
guide, and as otherwise shall be approved by Landlord. Without limiting the
foregoing, such policies shall include no deductible in excess of $25,000
(unless consistent with
-45-
deductibles included in policies carried by entities engaged in similar
businesses and owning similar properties similarly situated and agreed to in
advance by Landlord) and, with the exception of the insurance described in
Section 9.1(e), shall name Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee as additional
insureds, as their interests may appear. All losses shall be payable to
Landlord, any Facility Mortgagee or Tenant as provided in Article 10. Any loss
adjustment shall require the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant, and each
Facility Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned by Landlord. Tenant shall pay all insurance premiums and deliver
policies or certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and,
with respect to any renewal policy, thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of
the existing policy) and, in the event Tenant shall fail to effect such
insurance as herein required, to pay the premiums therefor or to deliver such
policies or certificates to Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee at the times
required, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon the giving
of written Notice thereof to Tenant, to acquire such insurance and pay the
premiums therefor, which amounts shall be payable to Landlord, upon demand, as
Additional Charges, together with interest accrued thereon at the Overdue Rate
from the date such payment is made until the date repaid. All such policies
shall provide Landlord (and any Facility Mortgagee, if required by the same)
thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any modification, expiration or
cancellation of such policy.
9.5 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 9, Tenant's obligation to maintain the insurance
herein required may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy
or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant and its Affiliated
Persons, provided, that (a) the coverage thereby afforded will not be reduced or
diminished from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other
requirements of this Agreement, and (b) the requirements of this Article 9 are
otherwise satisfied. Without limiting the foregoing, the amounts of insurance
that are required to be maintained pursuant to Section 9.1 shall be on a
Facility by Facility basis, and shall not be subject to an aggregate limit less
than the sum of the coverages required for each Leased Property (except in the
case of the umbrella coverage required under Section 9.1(c)).
9.6 No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate
insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required by this Article 9, or increase the amount of any existing insurance by
securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having
an insurable interest in the subject matter of such insurance, including
Landlord and all Facility Mortgagees, are included
-46-
therein as additional insureds and the loss is payable under such insurance in
the same manner as losses are payable under this Agreement. In the event Tenant
shall take out any such separate insurance or increase any of the amounts of the
then existing insurance, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt Notice thereof.
9.7 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: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or
damage to property occurring on or about the Collective Leased Properties or
adjoining sidewalks or rights of way, including, without limitation, any claims
of malpractice; (b) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition,
management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant of
the Collective Leased Properties or Tenant's Personal Property or any
litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third parties
to which Landlord is made a party or participant relating to the Collective
Leased Properties or Tenant's Personal Property or such use, misuse, non-use,
condition, management, maintenance, or repair thereof including, failure to
perform obligations (other than Condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord is
made a party; (c) any Impositions (which are the obligations of Tenant to pay
pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement); and (d) any failure on
the part of Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant to perform or comply with any
of the terms of this Agreement. Tenant shall pay all amounts payable under this
Section 9.7 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 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 Section
9.7 are in addition to the obligations set forth in Section 4.4 and shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

CASUALTY
--------
10.1 Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds payable by reason of any loss
or damage to the Collective Leased Properties, or any portion thereof, and
insured under any policy of insurance required by Article 9 (including, without
limitation, proceeds of any business interruption insurance) shall be paid
directly to Landlord (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2). If Tenant is
required to reconstruct or repair any of the Collective Leased Properties as
provided herein, such proceeds shall be paid out by Landlord from time to time
for the reasonable costs of reconstruction or repair of such Leased Property
necessitated by such damage or destruction, subject to the provisions of Section
10.2.4. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any excess
proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration shall be
paid to Tenant. In the event that Section 10.2.1 below is applicable, the
insurance proceeds shall be retained by the party entitled thereto pursuant to
Section 10.2.1. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall
belong to Landlord, except any salvage related to Tenant's Capital Additions and
Tenant's Personal Property shall belong to Tenant.
10.2 Damage or Destruction.
10.2.1 Damage or Destruction of Leased Property. If, during the
Term, any of the Collective Leased Properties shall be totally or partially
destroyed and the Facility located thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable
for Its Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall, at its option, exercisable by
the giving of Notice thereof to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the
date of casualty, elect either (a) to purchase such Leased Property from
Landlord for a purchase price equal to the greater of (i) the Adjusted
Purchase Price of such Leased Property and (ii) the Fair Market Value
Purchase Price of such Leased Property immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, or (b) terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected
Leased Property. Failure by Tenant to give such Notice prior to the
expiration of such 60-day period shall be deemed an election by Tenant to
purchase such Leased Property in accordance with clause (a) preceding. In
the event Tenant elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to the
affected Leased Property, this Agreement shall, thereupon, terminate with
respect to the applicable Leased Property and Landlord shall be entitled to
retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage. In the
event Tenant purchases such Leased Property as provided in this Section
10.2.1, the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage shall be
paid to Tenant. If Tenant purchases the applicable Leased Property as
provided herein, the closing
-48-
with respect thereto shall occur on a date designated by Landlord by Notice
to Tenant (but in no event prior to 30 days after such Notice), this
Agreement shall terminate as to the applicable Leased Property upon payment
of the purchase price therefor, and Landlord shall remit to Tenant all
insurance proceeds pertaining to the applicable Leased Property then held
by Landlord. Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to such Leased
Property as hereinabove provided, the Minimum Rent thereafter payable
hereunder shall be reduced by an amount reasonably determined by Landlord
in good faith to be that portion of the Minimum Rent allocable to such
Leased Property.
10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, any
of the Collective Leased Properties shall be totally or partially destroyed
but the Facility located thereon is not rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary
Intended Use, Tenant shall promptly restore such Facility as provided in
Section 10.2.4.
10.2.3 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If the cost of the
repair or restoration of the applicable Leased Property exceeds the amount
of insurance proceeds received by Landlord pursuant to Article 9, Tenant
shall contribute any excess amounts needed to restore such Leased Property.
Such difference shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord and held by Landlord,
together with any other insurance proceeds, for application to the cost of
repair and restoration.
10.2.4 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant is
required to restore the applicable Leased Property pursuant to Section
10.2, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, commence promptly and
continue diligently to perform the repair and restoration of such Leased
Property (hereinafter called the "Work"), or shall cause the same to be
done, so as to restore such Leased Property in full compliance with all
Legal Requirements and so that such Leased Property shall be at least equal
in value and general utility to its general utility and value immediately
prior to such damage or destruction. Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord
shall advance the insurance proceeds (other than proceeds of business
interruption insurance which shall be advanced as provided below) and the
amounts paid to it pursuant to Section 10.2.3 to Tenant regularly during
the repair and restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of
any such restoration and repair. Any such advances shall be for not less
than $250,000 (or such lesser amount as equals the entire balance of the
repair and restoration) and Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written
requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on
such other form or forms as may be acceptable to Landlord). Landlord may,
at its option, condition advancement of said insurance proceeds and other
-49-
amounts on (a) the absence of any Default or Event of Default; (b) its
reasonable approval of plans and specifications of an architect reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord; (c) general contractors' estimates; (d)
architect's certificates; (e) unconditional lien waivers of general
contractors; (f) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and
other regulatory bodies whose approval is required; and (g) such other
certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.
Proceeds of business interruption insurance shall be applied by Landlord to
the payment of all Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and Additional Charges
then due and payable and to become due and payable for the period for which
such proceeds have been paid by the insurance provider. Any excess shall,
provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be disbursed
to Tenant. If an Event of Default has occurred, Landlord shall apply such
amounts to amounts due and owing under this Agreement and to the costs of
collection of the same and shall pay any excess to Tenant.
Landlord's obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this
Article 10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds by the
applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord.
Tenant's obligation to restore the applicable Leased Property
pursuant to this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of available
insurance proceeds by the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord and by
Landlord to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
10.3 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of
Section 10.1 or 10.2 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of any of the
Collective Leased Properties occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of
the Term and if such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be
fully repaired and restored prior to the date that is twelve (12) months prior
to the end of such Term, the provisions of Section 10.2.1 shall apply as if such
Leased Property had been totally or partially destroyed and the Facility located
thereon rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use.
10.4 Tenant's Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of
any loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property or Tenant's Capital
Additions shall be paid to Tenant and, to the extent necessary to repair or
replace Tenant's Capital Additions or Tenant's Personal Property in accordance
with Section 10.5, Tenant shall hold such proceeds in trust to pay the cost of
repairing or replacing damaged Tenant's Personal Property or Tenant's Capital
Additions.
-50-
10.5 Restoration of Tenant's Property. If Tenant is required to
restore the applicable Leased Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall
either (a) restore all alterations and improvements made by Tenant, Tenant's
Personal Property and all Tenant's Capital Additions, or (b) replace such
alterations and improvements, Tenant's Personal Property, and/or Tenant's
Capital Additions with improvements or items of the same or better quality and
utility in the operation of such Leased Property.
10.6 No Abatement of Rent. This Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and Tenant's obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all
other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall, except as
otherwise provided in Section 10.2.1, remain unabated during the Term
notwithstanding any damage involving any of the Collective Leased Properties
(provided that Landlord shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to
Landlord as a consequence of such damage under any business interruption
insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10
shall be considered an express agreement governing any cause of damage or
destruction to the applicable Leased Property and, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, no local or State statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance
in effect during the Term which provide for such a contingency shall have any
application in such case.
10.7 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of
termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of any of the
Collective Leased Properties.
ARTICLE 11
----------
CONDEMNATION
------------
11.1 Total Condemnation, Etc. If either (a) the whole of any of the
Collective Leased Properties shall be taken by Condemnation or (b) a
Condemnation of less than the whole of any of the Collective Leased Properties
renders such Leased Property Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, this
Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Leased Property, Tenant and
Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in such Leased Property as
provided in Section 11.5 and the Minimum Rent thereafter payable shall be
reduced by an amount reasonably determined by Landlord in good faith to be that
portion of the Minimum Rent allocable to such Leased Property. If the Award
received by Landlord for Landlord's interest in such Leased Property is less
than the greater of (x) the Adjusted Purchase Price or (y) the Fair Market Value
Purchase Price of such Leased Property immediately prior to such Condemnation,
Tenant shall contribute and pay to Landlord the amount of such shortfall.
11.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less
than the whole of any of the Collective Leased Properties such that such Leased
Property is still suitable for its Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall, at its
sole cost and expense,
-51-
commence promptly and continue diligently to restore the untaken portion of the
Leased Improvements on such Leased Property so that such Leased Improvements
shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and
condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased
Improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance
with all Legal Requirements. Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall
contribute to the cost of restoration that part of the Award necessary to
complete such repair or restoration, together with severance and other damages
awarded for the taken Leased Improvements, to Tenant regularly during the
restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of such repair or
restoration. Landlord may, at its option, condition advancement of such Award
and other amounts on (a) the absence of any Event of Default; (b) its approval
of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (c) general
contractors' estimates; (d) architect's certificates; (e) unconditional lien
waivers of general contractors; (f) evidence of approval by all governmental
authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required; and (g) such
other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.
Landlord's obligation under this Section 11.2 to disburse the Award and such
other amounts shall be subject to (x) the collection thereof by Landlord and (y)
the satisfaction of any applicable requirements of any Facility Mortgage, and
the release of such Award by the applicable Facility Mortgagee. Tenant's
obligation to restore the applicable Leased Property shall be subject to the
release of the Award by the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord and
Landlord's release of the Award to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. If the cost of the restoration of the applicable Leased Property
exceeds that part of the Award necessary to complete such restoration, together
with severance and other damages awarded for the taken Leased Improvements,
Tenant shall contribute upon the demand of Landlord any excess amounts needed to
restore such Leased Property. Such difference shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord and held by Landlord, together with such part of the Award and such
severance and other damages, for application to the cost of restoration.
11.3 Abatement of Rent. Other than as specifically provided in this
Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant's
obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when
required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term
notwithstanding any Condemnation involving the Collective Leased Properties.
The provisions of this Article 11 shall be considered an express agreement
governing any Condemnation involving any or all of the Collective Leased
Properties and, to the maximum extent permitted bylaw, no local or State
statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which
provides for such a contingency shall have any application in such case.
-52-
11.4 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary
Condemnation of all or any part of the Collective Leased Properties or Tenant's
interest therein, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and
Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and on the terms herein specified,
the full amount of the Rent. Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all
of the other terms and conditions this Agreement on the part of the Tenant to be
performed and observed. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the entire amount of any Award made for such temporary Condemnation
allocable to the Term, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall
be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall, promptly upon the termination of any such
period of temporary Condemnation, at its sole cost and expense, restore such
Leased Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such
Condemnation, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements, unless such period
of temporary Condemnation shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, in
which event Tenant shall not be required to make such restoration. For purposes
of this Section 11.4, a Condemnation shall be deemed to be temporary if the
period of such Condemnation is not expected to, and does not, exceed twenty-four
(24) months.
11.5 Allocation of Award. Except as provided in the second sentence
of this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be solely the property of and
payable to Landlord. Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant's
leasehold interest in the applicable Leased Property, Tenant's Capital
Additions, loss of business during the remainder of the Term, the taking of
Tenant's Personal Property, or Tenant's removal and relocation expenses shall be
the sole property of and payable to Tenant (subject to the provisions of Section
11.2). In any Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its
own Award in conformity herewith, at its own expense.
ARTICLE 12
----------
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
---------------------
12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:
(a) should Tenant fail to make any payment of the Rent when due
and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days
after the due date or should Tenant fail to pay any other sum (including,
but not limited to, payment of the purchase price for any of the Collective
Leased Properties which Tenant shall be obligated to purchase pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement) payable hereunder when due and such failure
shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Notice thereof;
or
-53-
(b) should Tenant shall fail to maintain the insurance coverages
required under Article 9; or
(c) should Tenant default in the due observance or performance
of any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained herein to be
performed or observed by it (other than as specified in clauses (a) and (b)
above) or should any Guarantor or any Permitted Subtenant default in the
due observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements
contained in any Incidental Document, and, in any such case, such default
shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof from
Landlord to Tenant (provided that no such notice shall be required if
Landlord shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to
protect person or property); provided, however, that if such default is
susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence
within such period of time and if, in addition, Tenant, such Guarantor or
such Permitted Subtenant commences to cure such default within thirty (30)
days after Notice thereof from Landlord and thereafter prosecutes the
curing of such default with all due diligence, such period of time shall be
extended to such period of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60)
days in the aggregate) as may be necessary to cure such default with all
due diligence; or
(d) should any obligation of Tenant or any of the Permitted
Subtenants, in respect of any Indebtedness for money borrowed or for the
deferred 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, be declared to be or become
due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof and any applicable
grace or notice period with respect thereto shall have lapsed, or should
there occur and be continuing with respect to any such Indebtedness or
deferred purchase price any default under any instrument or agreement
evidencing or securing the same, the effect of which is to permit the
holder or holders of such instrument or agreement or a trustee, agent or
other representative on behalf of such holder or holders, to cause such any
such obligations to become due prior to its stated maturity and any
applicable grace or notice period with respect thereto shall have lapsed
(provided that, in any such event, the same shall not be deemed an Event of
Default if Tenant or any Permitted Subtenant shall be contesting the same
in good faith and shall provide such security with respect thereto as
Landlord may reasonably require); or
(e) should any obligation of any Guarantor, in respect of any
Indebtedness for money borrowed or for the deferred 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
-54-
thereto, be declared to be or become due and payable prior to the stated
maturity thereof and any applicable grace or notice period with respect
thereto shall have lapsed, or should there occur and be continuing with
respect to any such Indebtedness or deferred purchase price any default
under any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the same, the
effect of which is to permit the holder or holders of such instrument or
agreement or a trustee, agent or other representative on behalf of such
holder or holders, to cause such any such obligations to become due prior
to its stated maturity and any applicable grace or notice period with
respect thereto shall have lapsed and Landlord shall reasonably determine
such event may materially and adversely impact such Guarantor's ability to
perform its respective obligations under the Guaranty (provided that, in
any such event, the same shall not be deemed an Event of Default if such
Guarantor shall be contesting the same in good faith and shall provide such
security with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require); or
(f) should there occur a final unappealable determination by
applicable State authorities of the revocation or limitation of any
license, permit, certification or approval required for the lawful
operation of any of the Facilities in accordance with its Primary Intended
Use or the loss or limitation of any license, permit, certification or
approval under any other circumstances under which Tenant or any of the
Permitted Subtenants is required to cease its operation of such Facility in
accordance with its Primary Intended Use at the time of such loss or
limitation and such event or failure has a material adverse effect on the
use or operation of the applicable Leased Property or an adverse effect on
Total Revenues; or
(g) should any representation or warranty made by or on behalf
of Tenant, any Guarantor or any Permitted Subtenant under or in connection
with this Agreement, any Incidental Document, or in any document,
certificate or agreement delivered in connection herewith or therewith
prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect on the day
when made or deemed made; or
(h) should Tenant, any Guarantor or any Permitted Subtenant
generally not be paying its debts as they become due, or should Tenant, any
Guarantor or any Permitted Subtenant, make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors; or
(i) should any petition be filed by or against Tenant, any
Guarantor or any Permitted Subtenant under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or
should any other proceeding be instituted by or against Tenant, any
Guarantor or any Permitted Subtenant seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or
-55-
insolvent, or seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of
an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
other similar official for Tenant, such Guarantor or Permitted Subtenant,
or for any substantial part of the property of Tenant, such Guarantor or
Permitted Subtenant, and any such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety
(90) days after institution thereof, or should Tenant, such Guarantor or
Permitted Subtenant take any action to authorize or effect any of the
actions set forth above in this paragraph; or
(j) should Tenant, any Guarantor or any Permitted Subtenant any
proceeding for its dissolution or termination; or
(k) should Tenant or any of the Permitted Subtenants voluntarily
cease operation of any of the Collective Leased Properties for its Primary
Intended Use for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days, except
as a result of damage, destruction or partial or complete Condemnation; or
(l) should a default shall occur under any mortgage which is
secured by Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder or the mortgagee under any
such mortgage accelerates the indebtedness secured thereby or commence a
foreclosure action in connection with said mortgage; or
(m) should the estate or interest of Tenant or any of the
Permitted Subtenants in any of the Collective Leased Properties or any part
thereof be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not
be vacated or discharged within the later of (x) one hundred and twenty
(120) days after commencement thereof, unless the amount in dispute is less
than $10,000, in which case Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of the
dispute but Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y) thirty (30) days
after receipt by Tenant of Notice thereof from Landlord (unless Tenant
shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance
with Article 8); or
(n) should there occur any Change in Control of the Tenant, any
Guarantor or any of the Permitted Subtenants, except for any Change in
Control of Tenant as a result of the closing of the IPO, or as otherwise
permitted by Section 16.1; or
(o) should any default occur under the Permitted Subleases and
continue beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period;
-56-
then, and in any such event, Landlord, in addition to all other remedies
available to it, may terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all of
the Collective Leased Properties by giving Notice thereof to Tenant and
upon the expiration of the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this
Agreement shall terminate and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement
shall cease with respect to such of the Collective Leased Properties as
shall have been identified in such Notice. Landlord shall have and may
exercise all rights and remedies available at law and in equity to Landlord
as a result of Tenant's breach of this Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition
to any other remedies provided herein, subject to applicable law, enter upon the
Collective Leased Properties or any portion thereof and take possession of any
and all of Tenant's Personal Property and the Records (subject to any
prohibitions or limitations to disclosure of any such data as described in
Section 3.1.2(e)) on any such Leased Property, without liability for trespass or
conversion (Tenant hereby waiving any right to notice or hearing prior to such
taking of possession by Landlord) and sell the same at public or private sale,
after giving Tenant reasonable Notice of the time and place of any public or
private sale, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase all or any
portion of Tenant's Personal Property unless otherwise prohibited by law.
Unless otherwise provided by law and without intending to exclude any other
manner of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable Notice
shall be met if such Notice is given at least ten (10) days before the date of
sale. The proceeds from any such disposition, less all expenses incurred in
connection with the taking of possession, holding and selling of such property
(including, reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied as a credit against the
indebtedness which is secured by the security interest granted in Section 7.2.
Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law and Tenant
shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as Additional Charges, upon demand.
12.2 Remedies. None of (a) the termination of this Agreement with
respect to any or all of the Collective Leased Properties pursuant to Section
12.1; (b) the repossession of any or all of the Collective Leased Properties or
any portion thereof; (c) the failure of Landlord to re-let any or all of the
Collective Leased Properties or any portion thereof; nor (d) the reletting of
all or any of portion of the Collective Leased Properties, shall relieve Tenant
of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such
termination, repossession or re-letting. In the event of any such termination,
Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable with respect to
the any of the Collective Leased Properties as to which this Agreement is so
terminated through and including the date of such termination and, if this
Agreement shall be terminated with respect to less than all of the Collective
Leased Properties, the allocation of the Rent with
-57-
respect to the Collective Leased Properties as to which this Agreement shall
have been terminated shall be made in such manner as Landlord, in Landlord's
sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. Thereafter, Tenant, until the
end of what would have been the Term of this Agreement in the absence of such
termination, and whether or not any of the Collective Leased Properties as to
which this Agreement is so terminated or any portion thereof shall have been re-
let, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current
damages, the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the
remainder of the Term had such termination not occurred, less the net proceeds,
if any, of any re-letting of the applicable Leased Property, after deducting all
expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all
repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees,
advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation
for such reletting, and, if this Agreement shall be terminated with respect to
less than all of the Collective Leased Properties, the allocation of the Rent
with respect to the Collective Leased Properties as to which this Agreement
shall have been terminated shall be made in such manner as Landlord, in
Landlord's reasonable discretion in good faith, shall determine. Tenant shall
pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Minimum
Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Agreement had not been so
terminated with respect to such of the Collective Leased Properties.
At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have
collected any such current damages, as liquidated final damages beyond the date
of such termination, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord either
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Rent and other charges which
would be payable hereunder from the date of such termination (assuming that, for
the purposes of this paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account of
Impositions would be the same as payments required for the immediately preceding
twelve calendar months, or if less than twelve calendar months have expired
since the Commencement Date, the payments required for such lesser period
projected to an annual amount) for what would be the then unexpired term of this
Agreement if the same remained in effect, over the Fair Market Rental for the
same period, or (b) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Rent and other
charges that would have been payable for the balance of the Term had it not been
terminated, and (ii) the aggregate of the Rent and other charges accrued in the
twelve (12) months ended next prior to such termination (without reduction for
any free rent or other concession or abatement); provided, however, that if this
Agreement shall have been terminated with respect to less than all of the
Collective Leased Properties, the allocation of the Rent with respect to the
Collective Leased Properties as to which this Agreement shall have been
terminated shall be made in such manner as Landlord, in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion, shall determine. In the event this Agreement is so
terminated prior to the expiration of the first full year of the Term, the
-58-
liquidated damages which Landlord may elect to recover pursuant to clause (b)
(ii) of this paragraph shall be calculated as if such termination had occurred
on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and
obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the
maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and
governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not
the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or
damages referred to above.
In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and
dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (a) relet any of
the Collective Leased Properties as to which this Agreement is so terminated or
any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a
term or terms which may at Landlord's option, be equal to, less than or exceed
the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and
may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers
advisable and necessary to relet the same, and (b) may make such reasonable
alterations, repairs and decorations in any applicable Leased Property or any
portion thereof as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, in good faith,
considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting any such Leased
Property; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not
operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.
Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for any failure to
relet all or any portion of the Collective Leased Properties, or, in the event
that any of the Collective Leased Properties is relet, for failure to collect
the rent under such reletting. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant
hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any
present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or
in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of any of the Collective Leased
Properties, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and
conditions of this Agreement.
12.3 Tenant's Waiver. IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED WITH RESPECT
TO ANY OF THE COLLECTIVE LEASED PROPERTIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2,
TENANT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
THE EVENT OF SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS
ARTICLE 12, AND THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER IN FORCE EXEMPTING
PROPERTY FROM LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT.
12.4 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Landlord under
any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of
any Event of Default (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to
the existence of any Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant's obligations
under
-59-
this Agreement in such order as Landlord may determine or as may be required by
applicable law.
12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant
(which Notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine in
good faith immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without
waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant and without waiving or releasing
any Event of Default, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time
thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the
expense of Tenant, and may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, enter upon
any of the Collective Leased Properties or any portion thereof for such purpose
and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, in
good faith, may be necessary or appropriate therefor, including the management
of the Facility located thereon by Landlord or its designee, and Tenant hereby
irrevocably appoints, in the event of such election by Landlord, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Landlord or its
designee as manager of any such Facility and its attorney in fact for such
purpose, irrevocably and coupled with an interest, in the name, place and stead
of Tenant. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All reasonable
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to
the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are
paid by Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.
12.6 Trade Names. If this Agreement is terminated with respect to
any of the Collective Leased Properties for any reason, Tenant shall not use a
Facility Trade Name in the same market in which the Facility located thereon is
located in connection with any business that competes with such Facility.
ARTICLE 13
----------
HOLDING OVER
------------
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or sooner termination
of this Agreement shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate
equal to two (2) times the Minimum Rent and the Additional Rent then in effect
plus Additional Charges and other charges herein provided (prorated on a daily
basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages (direct or indirect)
sustained by reason of any such holding over. Otherwise, such holding over shall
be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to the extent
applicable. 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 Agreement.
-60-
ARTICLE 14
----------
LANDLORD'S DEFAULT
------------------
If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of
its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement and such default shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Tenant to
Landlord and any applicable Facility Mortgagee, or such additional period as may
be reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of
a "Landlord Default" by a second Notice to Landlord and to such Facility
Mortgagee. 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 the date Landlord receives
Tenant's invoice, at the Overdue Rate. Tenant shall have no right to terminate
this Agreement 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 applicable 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 thereto until final adverse determination
thereof. If Tenant and Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such
dispute within ten (10) days after Landlord's Notice of dispute, either may
submit the matter for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction.
ARTICLE 15
----------
PURCHASE OF LEASED PROPERTY
---------------------------
In the event Tenant shall purchase any of the Collective Leased
Properties from Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Landlord
shall, upon receipt from Tenant of the applicable purchase price, together with
full payment of any unpaid Rent and other charges due and payable with respect
to any period ending on or before the date of the purchase, deliver to Tenant an
appropriate deed or other instruments, conveying the entire interest of Landlord
in and to such Leased Property to Tenant, free and clear of all encumbrances
created through the act or omission of Landlord other than (i) Permitted
Encumbrances and such other liens, if any, which Tenant has agreed in writing to
accept and take title subject to, and (ii) encumbrances imposed on such Leased
Property under Section 5.5. The

Tenant's obtaining all required governmental consents and approvals for such
transfer. All expenses of such conveyance, including, without limitation, all
transfer and sales taxes, documentary fees, the fees and expenses of counsel to

SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
-------------------------
16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as provided in the last
sentence of this paragraph and Section 16.3 below, Tenant shall not, without the
prior written consent of a majority of the Independent Trustees and a majority
of the Trustees, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise
transfer this Agreement or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the
granting of concessions, licenses and the like), all or any part of the
Collective Leased Properties or suffer or permit this Agreement or the leasehold
estate created hereby or any other rights arising under this Agreement to be
assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole
or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit
the use or occupancy of any of the Collective Leased Properties by anyone other
than Tenant, or any of the Collective Leased Properties to be offered or
advertised for assignment or subletting. For purposes of this Section 16.1, an
assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Change in Control of
Tenant (other than any Change in Control resulting from (x) the closing of the
IPO, (y) the trading of shares by the public on a nationally recognized
exchange, including, without limitation, NASDAQ, or (z) the issuance of
additional equity interests in Tenant or any Guarantor on commercially
reasonable terms) or any transaction pursuant to which Tenant is merged or
consolidated with another entity or pursuant to which all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets are transferred to any other entity, as if such change in
control or transaction were an assignment of this Agreement. Landlord's consent
shall not be required in connection with the transfer of all of the interests in
Tenant to Prime, provided that Prime shall, simultaneously therewith, execute
and deliver to Landlord a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement in the form of the
Stock Pledge Agreement.
-62-
If this Agreement is assigned or if any of the Collective Leased
Properties or any part thereof are sublet (or occupied by anybody other than
Tenant or residents of the units at the Facilities) Landlord may collect the
rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply
the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such collection
shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of
this Section 16.1, the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or
occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the
future performance by Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations
contained in this Agreement.
No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing
primary liability of Tenant hereunder, and no consent to any subletting or
assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the
prohibition set forth in this Section 16.1. No assignment, subletting or
occupancy shall affect any Primary Intended Use. Any subletting, assignment or
other transfer of Tenant's interest under this Agreement in contravention of
this Section 16.1 shall be voidable at Landlord's option.
16.2 Required Sublease Provisions. Any sublease of all or any
portion of any of the Collective Leased Properties (except to residents of the
units located at the Facilities) shall provide (a) that it is subject and
subordinate to this Agreement and to the matters to which this Agreement is or
shall be subject or subordinate; (b) that in the event of termination of this
Agreement or reentry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this
Agreement, Landlord may, at its option, terminate such sublease or take over all
of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease,
and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to
the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that neither Landlord nor
any Facility Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this
Agreement, if such mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (i) be liable for
any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any
credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such
subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such
sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord or by any previous prepayment
of more than one (1) month's Rent, (iv) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to
undertake or complete any construction of such Leased Property or any portion
thereof, (v) be required to account for any security deposit of the subtenant
other than any security deposit actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant, (vi)
be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such subtenant or grant any
credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for
under the sublease that are performed after the date
-63-
of such attornment, (vii) be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the
credit of such subtenant, or (viii) be required to remove any Person occupying
any portion of the Collective Leased Properties; and (c), in the event that such
subtenant receives a written Notice from Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee
stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such subtenant
shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under such sublease
directly to the party giving such Notice or as such party may direct. All
rentals received from such subtenant by Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee, as
the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Tenant under
this Agreement and such sublease shall provide that the subtenant thereunder
shall, at the request of Landlord, execute a suitable instrument in confirmation
of such agreement to attorn. An original counterpart of each such sublease and
assignment and assumption, duly executed by Tenant and such subtenant or
assignee, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord, shall be delivered promptly to Landlord and (a) in the case of an
assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform
all of the terms of this Agreement on the part of Tenant to be kept and
performed and shall be, and become, jointly and severally liable with Tenant for
the performance thereof and (b) in case of either an assignment or subletting,
Tenant shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for
the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of
the covenants and conditions to be performed by Tenant hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 16.2 shall not be deemed a waiver of
the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1.
16.3 Permitted Subleases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject
to the provisions of Section 16.4 and any other express conditions or
limitations set forth herein, Tenant may enter into the Permitted Subleases and
third party residency agreements with respect to the units located at the
Facilities and may, in each instance after Notice to Landlord, sublease space at
any of the Collective Leased Properties for laundry, commissary or child care
purposes or other concessions in the ordinary course of business, so long as
such sublease will not reduce the number of units at the applicable Facility,
will not violate or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and
Tenant shall provide such additional insurance coverage applicable to the
activities to be conducted in such subleased space as Landlord and any Facility
Mortgagee may require.
16.4 Sublease Limitation. Anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet any of the Collective
Leased Properties on any basis such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee
thereunder would be
-64-
based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the
business activities of such sublessee, or (b) 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.

APPRAISAL
---------
19.1 Appraisal Procedure. In the event that it becomes necessary to
determine the Fair Market Value of any of the Collective Leased Properties for
any purpose of this Agreement and the parties cannot agree thereon, such Fair
Market Value shall be determined upon the written demand of either party in
accordance with the following procedure.
The party requesting an appraisal, by Notice given within thirty (30)
days after the date of the event which requires or permits such procedure, shall
propose and unilaterally approve a Qualified Appraiser. The other party, by
Notice given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Notice appointing
the first Qualified Appraiser, may appoint a second Qualified Appraiser. If the
other party fails to appoint the second Qualified Appraiser within such fifteen
(15) day period, such party shall have waived its right to appoint a Qualified
Appraiser, the first Qualified Appraiser shall appoint a second Qualified
Appraiser within fifteen (15) days thereafter and the Fair Market Value shall be
determined by the Qualified Appraisers as set forth below.
The two Qualified Appraisers shall thereupon endeavor to agree upon
the Fair Market Value. If the two Qualified Appraisers so named cannot agree
upon such value within thirty (30) days after the designation of the second such
appraiser, each such appraiser shall, within five (5) days after the expiration
of such thirty (30) day period, submit his appraisal of fair market value to the
other appraiser in writing, and if the fair market values set forth in such
appraisals vary by five percent (5%) or less of the greater value, the fair
market value shall be determined by calculating the average of the two fair
market values determined by the two appraisers.
If the fair market values set forth in the two appraisals vary by more
than five percent (5%) of the greater value, the two Qualified Appraisers shall
select a third Qualified Appraiser within an additional fifteen (15) days
following the expiration of the aforesaid five (5) day period. If the two
appraisers are unable to agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser within
such fifteen (15) day period, either party may, upon written notice to the
other, request that such appointment be made by the then President (or
equivalent officer) of the State's Chapter of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers, or his or her designee or, if there is no such organization
or if such individual declines to make such appointment, by any state or Federal
court of competent jurisdiction for the State.
-68-
In the event that all three of the appraisers cannot agree upon Fair
Market Value within twenty (20) days following the selection of the third
appraiser, each appraiser shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, submit his
appraisal of fair market value to the other two appraisers in writing, and the
fair market value shall be determined by calculating the average of the two
numerically closest values (or, if the values are equidistant, the average of
all three values) determined by the three appraisers.
In the event that any appraiser appointed hereunder does not or is
unable to perform his or her obligation hereunder, then the party or the
appraisers appointing such appraiser shall have the right to propose and approve
unilaterally a substitute Qualified Appraiser, but if the party or the
appraisers who have the right to appoint a substitute Qualified Appraiser fail
to do so within ten (10) days after written notice from the other party (or
either party in the event such appraiser was appointed by the other appraisers)
either party may, upon written notice to the party having the right to appoint a
substitute Qualified Appraiser, request that such appointment be made by such
officer of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or court of
competent jurisdiction as described above; provided, however, that a party who
has the right to appoint an appraiser or a substitute appraiser shall have the
right to make such appointment only up until the time such appointment is made
by such officer or court.
In connection with the appraisal process, Tenant shall provide the
appraisers full access during normal business hours to examine the applicable
Leased Property, the books, records and files of Tenant and all agreements,
leases and other operating agreements relating to the applicable Leased
Property.
The costs (other than Landlord's counsel fees) of each such appraisal
shall be borne by Tenant and shall be included as part of the Additional
Charges. Upon determining such value, the appraisers shall promptly notify
Landlord and Tenant in writing of such determination. If any party shall fail
to appear at the hearings appointed by the appraisers, the appraisers may act in
the absence of such party.
The determination of the Qualified Appraisers made in accordance with
the foregoing provisions shall be final and binding upon the parties, such
determination may be entered as an award in arbitration in a court of competent
jurisdiction, and judgment thereon may be entered.
19.2 Landlord's Right to Appraisal. Landlord shall have the right,
exercisable twice at any time during the Term, to appoint a Qualified Appraiser
to perform a complete appraisal of
-69-
any or all of the Collective Leased Properties, (each such appraisal to include
complete valuations of any such Leased Property based upon (a) the "Cost
Approach", (b) the "Market Approach" and (c) the "Income Approach"), which
appraisal shall meet all requirements of any state or Federal bank regulatory
authority that Landlord considers relevant or any Facility Mortgagee. The costs
of each such appraisal shall be borne by Tenant and shall be included as part of
the Additional Charges.

respect thereto.

become or remain liable directly or indirectly upon, any Indebtedness except the
following:

charges or levies, to the extent that payment thereof shall not at the time
be required to be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 8;
(c) Indebtedness of Tenant in respect of judgments or awards
(i) which have been in force for less than the applicable appeal period and
in respect of which execution thereof shall have been stayed pending such

Tenant, or (iii) which are for an amount not in excess of $10,000 in the
aggregate at any one time outstanding and (x) which have been in force for

-76-

review;
(d) unsecured borrowings from Affiliated Persons which are by

enter into any agreement or arrangement whereby it or any Permitted Subtenant
engages in a transaction of any kind with any Affiliated Person as to Tenant or

Tenant or the Permitted Subtenant than those on which similar transactions
between unaffiliated parties could fairly be expected to be entered into on an
arms-length basis.
22.10 Management of Collective Leased Properties. Tenant shall not
enter into or permit to exist any Management Agreement unless the terms thereof

management fees, payments in connection with any extension of credit and fees
for services provided in connection with the operation of the applicable Leased
Property, payable by Tenant to any Guarantor (or any Affiliated Person as to
Tenant or such
-77-
Guarantor), shall be subordinated to all of the obligations of Tenant due under
this Agreement pursuant to a Subordination Agreement. Tenant shall not agree to
any change in the Manager of any of the Collective Leased Properties and/or any
Facility, to any change in any Management Agreement, terminate any Management
Agreement or permit any Manager to assign any Management Agreement without the
prior written approval of Landlord in each instance, which approval may be given
or withheld in Landlord's reasonable discretion in good faith. Any Management
Agreement shall provide that Landlord shall be provided notice of any defaults
thereunder and, at Landlord's option, an opportunity to cure such defaults and
shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its
reasonable discretion in good faith. If Landlord shall cure any of Tenant's
defaults under any Management Agreement, the cost of such cure shall be payable
upon demand by Tenant to Landlord with interest accruing from the demand date at
the Overdue Rate and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for
failure to pay such costs on demand as for Tenant's failure to pay Minimum Rent.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any instrument requested by Landlord to
implement the intent of the foregoing provision.
22.11 Liens and Encumbrances. Except as permitted by Section 7.1,
subject to the provisions of Article 8 relating to Permitted Contests, Tenant
shall not create or incur or suffer to be created or incurred or to exist any
Lien on this Agreement, Tenant's Personal Property or any of its other
respective assets, properties, rights or income, or any of its interest therein,
now or at any time hereafter owned, other than:
(a) Security interests securing Indebtedness permitted pursuant
to Section 22.6; and
(b) Permitted Encumbrances.
22.12 Merger; Sale of Assets; Etc. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall not (a) sell, lease (as lessor or
sublessor), transfer or otherwise dispose of, or abandon, all or any material
portion of its assets (including capital stock) or business to any Person; (b)
merge into or with or consolidate with any other Entity; or (c) sell, lease (as
lessor or sublessor), transfer or otherwise dispose of, or abandon, any personal
property or fixtures or any real property; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the provisions of clause (c) preceding, Tenant may dispose of
equipment or fixtures which have become inadequate, obsolete, worn-out,
unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary, provided substitute equipment or
fixtures having equal or greater value and utility (but not necessarily having
the same function) have been provided.

22.13 Permitted Subleases. Tenant shall not amend, modify or
terminate the Permitted Subleases without the prior written consent of Landlord.
ARTICLE 23
----------
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
23.1 Limitation on Payment of Rent. All agreements between Landlord
and Tenant herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or
event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or otherwise, shall
the Rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord under this Agreement exceed
the maximum permissible under applicable law, the benefit of which may be
asserted by Tenant as a defense, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever,
fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Landlord should ever receive as
fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso facto, the
amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the
installment(s) of Minimum Rent next due and not to the payment of such excessive
amount. This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement
and any other agreements between Landlord and Tenant.
23.2 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict
performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of
any such breach or of any such term. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall continue
in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach.
23.3 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law,
each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord, now or
hereafter provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise, shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power
and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one
or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous
or subsequent exercise by Landlord of any or all of such other rights, powers
and remedies.
23.4 Severability. Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or
provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or nullify the
remainder of this
-79-
Agreement, but rather the effect thereof shall be confined to the clause,
sentence, paragraph, section or provision so held to be invalid, illegal or
ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal
or ineffective provisions had never been contained therein.
23.5 Acceptance of Surrender. No surrender to Landlord of this
Agreement or of any of the Collective Leased Properties or any part thereof, or
of any interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and
accepted in writing by Landlord and no act by Landlord or any representative or
agent of Landlord, other than such a written acceptance by Landlord, shall
constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.
23.6 No Merger of Title. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed
that it is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this
Agreement or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that
the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly this Agreement
or the leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate or ground landlord's
interest in any of the Collective Leased Properties.
23.7 Conveyance by Landlord. If Landlord or any successor owner of
all or any portion of any of the Collective Leased Properties shall convey all
or any portion of the Collective Leased Properties in accordance with the terms
hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such
of the Collective Leased Properties shall expressly assume all obligations of
Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such
conveyance or transfer, Landlord or such successor owner, as the case may be,
shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of
Landlord under this Agreement with respect to such of the Collective Leased
Properties arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or
other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon
be binding upon the new owner.
23.8 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant shall pay the Rent as the
same becomes due and shall comply with all of the terms of this Agreement,
Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Collective Leased
Properties for the Term, free of hindrance or molestation by Landlord or anyone
claiming by, through or under Landlord, but subject to (a) any Encumbrance
permitted under Article 21 or otherwise permitted to be created by Landlord
hereunder, (b) all Permitted Encumbrances, (c) liens as to obligations of
Landlord that are either not yet due or which are being contested in good faith
and by proper proceedings, and (d) liens that have been consented to in writing
by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no failure by
Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Tenant any right to
cancel or terminate this Agreement or
-80-
▇▇▇▇▇, reduce or make a deduction from or offset against the Rent or any other
sum payable under this Agreement, or to fail to perform any other obligation of
Tenant hereunder.
23.9 NON-LIABILITY OF TRUSTEES. THE DECLARATION, A COPY OF WHICH IS
DULY FILED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF THE STATE OF
MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT THE NAME "HEALTH AND RETIREMENT PROPERTIES TRUST" REFERS
TO THE TRUSTEES UNDER THE DECLARATION COLLECTIVELY AS TRUSTEES, BUT NOT
INDIVIDUALLY OR PERSONALLY, AND THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE
OR AGENT OF LANDLORD SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR
SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, LANDLORD. ALL PERSONS
DEALING WITH LANDLORD, IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF LANDLORD FOR
THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.
23.10 Landlord's Consent of Trustees. Where provision is made in
this Agreement for Landlord's consent and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give
such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by
Landlord of its consent, it being intended that Tenant's sole remedy shall be an
action for specific performance or injunction, and that such remedy shall be
available only in those cases where Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not
unreasonably to withhold its consent.
23.11 Memorandum of Lease. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record
this Agreement. However, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly, upon the request
of the other, enter into a short form memorandum of this Agreement, in form
suitable for recording under the laws of the State in which reference to this
Agreement, and all options contained herein, shall be made. Tenant shall pay all
costs and expenses of recording such memorandum.
23.12 Notices.

elections and other communications required or permitted under this
Agreement shall be deemed adequately given if in writing and the same shall
be delivered either in hand, by telecopier with written acknowledgment of
receipt, or by mail or Federal Express or similar expedited commercial
carrier, addressed to the recipient of the notice, postpaid and registered
or certified with return receipt requested (if by mail), or with all

specific day which is not a Business Day, the day of receipt or required
delivery shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day.
(c) All such notices shall be addressed,

monetary, repair and indemnification obligations) shall survive the expiration
or sooner termination of this Agreement.
