Landlord on the first Business Day of the immediately following
Accounting Period (in addition to the amount of Minimum Rent payable

during the preceding year and shall be due and payable and delivered to
Landlord on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, or portion
thereof, thereafter occurring during the Term, together with an
Officer's Certificate setting forth the calculation of Additional Rent
due and payable for such quarter.
(b) Quarterly Installments. Installments of Additional Rent
for each Lease Year during the Term, or portion thereof, shall be
calculated and paid quarterly in arrears, together with an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the calculation of Additional Rent due and
payable for such quarter.
(c) Reconciliation of Additional Rent. In addition, within
seventy-five (75) days after the end of the Base Year and each Lease
Year thereafter (or any portion thereof occurring during the Term),
Tenant shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Landlord (i) a
financial report setting forth the Net Patient Revenues for each
Property for such preceding Lease Year, or portion thereof, together
with an Officer's Certificate from Tenant's chief financial or
accounting officer certifying that such report is true and correct and
(ii) a statement showing Tenant's calculation of Additional Rent due
for such preceding Lease Year based on the Net Patient Revenues set
forth in such financial report, together with an Officer's Certificate
from Tenant's chief financial or accounting officer certifying that
such statement is true and correct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
any MSLS Operating Agreement terminates, Tenant shall thereafter
deliver to Landlord, together with the financial report and Officer's
Certificate referred to in clause (i) of the
-20-
preceding sentence, an audit of Net Patient Revenues prepared by a firm
of independent certified public accountants proposed by Tenant and
approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned).
If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding Lease Year as
set forth in Tenant's statement thereof exceeds the amount previously
paid with respect thereto by Tenant, Tenant shall pay such excess to
Landlord at such time as the statement is delivered, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the
close of such preceding Lease Year until the date that such statement
is required to be delivered and, thereafter, such interest shall accrue
at the Overdue Rate, until the amount of such difference shall be paid
or otherwise discharged. If the annual Additional Rent for such
preceding Lease Year as shown in such statement is less than the amount
previously paid with respect thereto by Tenant, provided that no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall grant
Tenant a credit against the Additional Rent next coming due in the
amount of such difference, together with interest at the Interest Rate,
which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until
the date such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be. If such
credit cannot be made because the Term has expired prior to application
in full thereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit to
Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest
shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of
payment by Landlord.
(d) Confirmation of Additional Rent. Tenant shall utilize, or
cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property in
accordance with its usual and customary practices and in all material
respects in accordance with GAAP, which will accurately record all Net
Patient Revenues and Tenant shall retain, for at least three (3) years
after the expiration of each Lease Year, reasonably adequate records
conforming to such accounting system showing all Net Patient Revenues
for such Lease Year. Landlord, at its own expense, except as provided
hereinbelow, shall have the right, exercisable by Notice to Tenant, by
its accountants or representatives, to audit the information set forth
in the Officer's Certificate referred to in subparagraph (c) above and,
in connection with such audits, to examine Tenant's books and records
with respect thereto (including supporting data and sales and excise
tax returns). Landlord shall begin such audit as soon as reasonably
possible following its receipt of the applicable Officer's Certificate
and shall complete such audit as soon as reasonably possible
thereafter. If any such audit discloses a deficiency in the payment of
Additional Rent and, either Tenant agrees with the result of such audit
or the matter is otherwise compromised with Landlord, Tenant shall
forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency, as finally
agreed or determined, together with
-21-
interest at the Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have
been made to the date of payment thereof. If any such audit discloses
that Tenant paid more Additional Rent for any Lease Year than was due
hereunder, and either Landlord agrees with the result of such audit or
the matter is otherwise determined, provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall, at Landlord's option,
either grant Tenant a credit or pay to Tenant an amount equal to the
amount of such overpayment against Additional Rent next coming due in
the amount of such difference, as finally agreed or determined,
together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall
accrue from the time of payment by Tenant until the date such credit is
applied or paid, as the case may be; provided, however, that, upon the
expiration or sooner termination of the Term, provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the
unapplied balance of such credit to Tenant, together with interest at
the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment
by Tenant until the date of payment from Landlord. Any dispute
concerning the correctness of an audit shall be settled by arbitration
pursuant to the provisions of Article 22.
Any proprietary information obtained by Landlord with respect to Tenant
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, provided that
Landlord shall direct such lenders to maintain such information as confidential.
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 (or cause to be paid) to the
appropriate parties and discharge (or cause to be discharged) 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
reasonably 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, shall pay, or cause to
pay, such installments during the Term as
-22-
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, or cause to be prepared and filed, all tax returns and pay all
taxes due 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 or on behalf of Tenant, the same shall be paid over
to or retained by 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 respect to the Leased Property 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, or cause to be filed, 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 for property covered by this Agreement, 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.
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.
(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 Leased Property.
(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) FF&E Reserve Payment. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid
all FF&E Reserve Payments required pursuant to Section 5.1.2.
-23-
(e) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
other amounts, liabilities and obligations, including, without
limitation, ground rents, if any, and all amounts payable under any
equipment leases and all agreements to indemnify Landlord under
Sections 4.4.2 and 9.5.
(f) Reimbursement for Additional Charges. If Tenant pays or
causes to be paid property taxes or similar or other Additional Charges
attributable to periods after the end of the Term, whether upon
expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement (other than
termination by reason of an Event of Default), Tenant may, within a
reasonable time after 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.
3.2 Late Payment of Rent, Etc. 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 within ten (10) days
after 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. If any
payments due from Landlord to Tenant shall not be paid within ten (10) days
after its due date, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, on demand, 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.
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 is 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 Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that
this Agreement shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the installments or
amounts of the Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this
Agreement which expressly provide otherwise, including those provisions for
adjustment or abatement of such Rent.
3.4 No Termination, Abatement, Etc. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, each of Landlord and Tenant,
-24-
to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Agreement in
accordance with its terms and shall not take any action without the consent of
the other to modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement. In addition, except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall not seek, or 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
the Leased Property or any portion thereof from whatever cause or any
Condemnation, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon,
Tenant's use of the Leased Property, 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 (other
than a monetary default) or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this
Agreement or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to which
Landlord and Tenant are parties; (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 (other
than a monetary default by Landlord). Except as otherwise specifically provided
in this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence
whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to
modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement or quit or surrender the Leased
Property or any portion thereof, or (b) which would 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. 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
pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 4
USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
4.1 Permitted Use.
4.1.1 Permitted Use.
(a) Tenant shall, at all times during the Term, and at any
other time that Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Property,
continuously use and operate, or cause to be used and operated, each
Property as a skilled nursing/intermediate care/independent
living/assisted living/special care facility as currently operated, and
any uses incidental thereto. Tenant shall not use (and shall not permit
any Person to use) any Property or any portion thereof for any other
use without the prior written consent of Landlord, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No use shall be
-25-
made or permitted to be made of any Property and no acts shall be done
thereon which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy
covering such Property or any part thereof (unless another adequate
policy is available) or which would constitute a default under any
ground lease affecting any of the Leased Property, nor shall Tenant
sell or otherwise provide to residents or patients therein, or permit
to be kept, used or sold in or about any Property 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 (except as expressly provided in Section 5.1.2(b)), comply or
cause to be complied with all Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall not
take or omit to take, or permit to be taken or omitted to be taken, any
action, the taking or omission of which materially impairs the value or
the usefulness of any of the Leased Property or any part thereof for
its Permitted Use.
(b) In the event that, in the reasonable determination of
Tenant, it shall no longer be economically practical to operate any
Property as currently operated, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice
thereof, which Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons
therefor. Thereafter, (i) Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good
faith to agree on an alternative use for such Property, appropriate
adjustments to the Additional Rent and other related matters; provided,
however, in no event shall the Minimum Rent be reduced or abated as a
result thereof, and (ii) Tenant may market such Property for sale to a
third party; provided, however, that so long as the MSLS Operating
Agreement with respect to such Property remains in effect, such sale
shall be subject to, and comply with the terms of, any applicable
restrictions on the sale or other transfer to such third party
contained in such MSLS Operating Agreement or in any other document or
instrument executed in connection therewith or otherwise related
thereto. If Tenant receives a bona fide offer (an "Offer") to purchase
such Property that complies with the requirements of the preceding
clause (ii) from a Person having the financial capacity to implement
the terms of such Offer, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof,
which Notice shall include a copy of the Offer executed by such third
party. In the event that Landlord shall fail to accept or reject such
Offer within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Notice, such Offer
shall be deemed to be rejected by Landlord. If Landlord shall either
sell the Property pursuant to such Offer, or reject such Offer,
effective as of the date or proposed date of such sale, as the case may
be, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, and
the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) of the net proceeds of sale received by Landlord or, in the case
of rejection, the projected net proceeds determined by reference to
such Offer.
-26-
4.1.2 Necessary Approvals. Tenant shall proceed with all due
diligence and exercise reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain, or cause to be
obtained and maintained, all approvals necessary to use and operate, for its
Permitted Use, each Property and the Facility located thereon under applicable
law and, without limiting the foregoing, shall exercise reasonable efforts to
maintain (or cause to be maintained) appropriate certifications for
reimbursement and licensure.
4.1.3 Lawful Use, Etc. Tenant shall not, and shall not permit
any Person to use or suffer or permit the use of the Leased Property or Tenant's
Personal Property, if any, for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall not, and shall
not permit any Person to, commit or suffer to be committed any waste on any
Property, or in any Facility, nor shall Tenant cause or permit any unlawful
nuisance thereon or therein. Tenant shall not, and shall not permit any Person
to, suffer nor permit the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, to be used in
such a manner as (i) may materially and adversely impair Landlord's title
thereto or to any portion thereof, or (ii) may reasonably allow a claim or
claims for adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or of
implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
4.2 Compliance with Legal/Insurance Requirements, Etc. Subject to the
provisions of Article 8 and Section 5.1.3(b), Tenant, at its sole expense, shall
(i) comply (or cause to be complied with) with all material Legal Requirements
and Insurance Requirements in respect of the use, operation, maintenance,
repair, alteration and restoration of the Leased Property and with the terms and
conditions of any ground lease affecting any Property, (ii) perform (or cause to
be performed) all of Landlord's obligations under any ground lease affecting any
Property and (iii) procure, maintain and comply with (or cause to be procured,
maintained and complied with) all material licenses, certificates of need,
permits, provider agreements and other authorizations and agreements required
for any use of the Leased Property and Tenant's Personal Property, if any, then
being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance
of the Leased Property or any part thereof.
4.3 Compliance with Medicaid and Medicare Requirements. Tenant, at its
sole cost and expense, shall make (or shall cause to be made), whatever
improvements (capital or ordinary) as are required to conform the Leased
Property to such standards as may, from time to time, be required by Federal
Medicare (Title 18) or Medicaid (Title 19) for 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 the Leased Property as a
condition of the continued operation of each Property for its Primary Intended
Use.
4.4 Environmental Matters.
-27-
4.4.1 Restriction on Use, Etc. During the Term and any other
time that Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Property, Tenant shall
not, and shall not permit any Person to, store, spill upon, dispose of or
transfer to or from the Leased Property any Hazardous Substance, except in
compliance with all Applicable Laws. During the Term and any other time that
Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Property, Tenant shall maintain (and
shall cause to be maintained) the Leased Property at all times free of any
Hazardous Substance (except in compliance with all Applicable Laws). Tenant
shall promptly: (a) upon receipt of notice or knowledge, promptly notify
Landlord in writing of any material change in the nature or extent of Hazardous
Substances at the Leased Property, (b) transmit to Landlord a copy of any report
which is required to be filed by Tenant, MSLS or any Manager with respect to the
Leased Property 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, MSLS or any Manager or their
respective agents or representatives with respect thereto (collectively,
"Environmental Notice"), which Environmental Notice requires a written response
or any action to be taken and/or if such Environmental Notice gives notice of
and/or presents a material risk of any material violation of any Applicable Law
and/or presents a material risk of any material cost, expense, loss or damage
(an "Environmental Obligation"), (d) observe and comply (and cause to be
observed and complied) 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 (or cause to be paid or
otherwise disposed) of any fine, charge or Imposition related thereto, unless
Tenant, MSLS or any Manager shall contest the same in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings and the right to use and the value of any of the Leased
Property is not materially and adversely affected thereby.
If, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, Hazardous
Substances (other than those maintained in accordance with Applicable Laws) are
discovered on the Leased Property, subject to Tenant's and MSLS's right to
contest the same in accordance with Article 8, Tenant shall take (and shall
cause to be taken) all actions and incur any and all expenses, as are required
by any Government Agency and by Applicable Law, (i) to clean up and remove from
and about the Leased Property all Hazardous Substances thereon, (ii) to contain
and prevent any further release or threat of release of Hazardous Substances on
or about the Leased Property and (iii) to use good faith efforts to eliminate
any further release or threat of release of Hazardous Substances on or about the
Leased Property.
4.4.2 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 with
-28-
respect to this Agreement (collectively, the "Indemnitees" and, individually, 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 attorney's 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 the Leased Property or any properties surrounding the Leased Property of any
Hazardous Substances in violation of any Applicable Law, except to the extent
the same arise from the acts or omissions of Landlord or any other Indemnitee or
during any period that Landlord or a Person designated by Landlord (other than
Tenant) is in possession of the Leased Property from and after the date hereof.
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 prior to
the expiration or sooner termination of the Term and the surrender of the Leased
Property to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of Hazardous
Substances in, upon or under the soil or ground water of the Leased Property in
violation of any Applicable Law. Upon Notice from Landlord and any other of the
Indemnitees, Tenant shall undertake the defense, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, of any indemnification duties set forth herein, in which event, Tenant
shall not be liable for payment of any duplicative attorneys' fees incurred by
any Indemnitee.
Tenant shall, upon demand, pay (or cause to be paid) to Landlord, as an
Additional Charge, any cost, expense, loss or damage (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by Landlord and
arising from a failure of Tenant to observe and perform (or cause to be observed
and performed) the requirements of this Section 4.4, which amounts shall bear
interest from the date ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor is
given to Tenant until paid by Tenant to Landlord at the Overdue Rate.
4.4.3 Survival. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
5.1 Maintenance and Repair.
5.1.1 Tenant's General Obligations. Tenant shall keep (or
cause to be kept), at Tenant's sole cost and expense (except as expressly
provided in Section 5.1.3(b)), the Leased Property 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, MSLS's or any Manager's use, any
prior use, the elements or the age of the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal
Property or any portion thereof), and shall promptly make or cause to
-29-
be made 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). All repairs shall be made in a good, workmanlike manner, consistent
with industry standards for comparable Facilities in like locales, in accordance
with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, codes, rules
and regulations relating to any such work. Tenant shall not take or omit to take
(or permit any Person to take or omit to take) any action, the taking or
omission of which would materially and adversely impair the value or the
usefulness of the Leased Property or any material part thereof for its Permitted
Use. Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.1.1 shall be limited in the event
of any casualty or Condemnation as set forth in Article 10 and Article 11 and
also as set forth in Section 5.1.3(b) and Tenant's obligations with respect to
Hazardous Substances are as set forth in Section 4.4.
5.1.2 FF&E Reserve. Upon or prior to the execution of this
Agreement, Landlord has established the FF&E Reserve for each Property. Tenant
shall, as Additional Charges, with respect to each Lease Year, or portion
thereof, deposit, or cause to be deposited, the FF&E Reserve Payment into the
FF&E Reserve for each Property, of which amounts shall be applied to (a)
replacements and renewals to such Property's furniture, furnishings, fixtures,
Soft Goods (as such term is defined in the MSLS Operating Agreements), Case
Goods (as such term is defined in the MSLS Operating Agreements), vehicles and
equipment, but specifically excluding any Fixed Asset Supplies (as such term is
defined in the MSLS Operating Agreements) or Software (as such term is defined
in the MSLS Operating Agreements), and (b) routine repairs and maintenance to
the Facility located on such Property which are normally capitalized under GAAP,
such as exterior and interior repainting, resurfacing building walls, floors,
roofs and parking areas, and replacing folding walls and the like, but which are
not major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements to such
Facility's building's structure or exterior facade or to its mechanical,
electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing or vertical
transportation systems. Any additional funds required for repairs, maintenance,
renovations and replacements to and at any Property in excess of those on
deposit for such Property in the applicable FF&E Reserve shall be advanced in
accordance with Section 5.1.3(b). So long as the MSLS Operating Agreement
remains in effect with a Property, Tenant shall, promptly after receipt or
sending thereof, furnish to Landlord copies of the FF&E Estimate (as such term
is defined in the MSLS Operating Agreements) submitted by MSLS under such MSLS
Operating Agreement, together with any and all other documentation submitted by
MSLS in connection therewith, and Tenant's responses thereto, if any.
If a MSLS Operating Agreement terminates with respect to a Property,
thereafter, Tenant shall prepare with respect to such Property an estimate (the
"FF&E Estimate") of FF&E Reserve expenditures necessary at such Property during
the ensuing Fiscal
-30-
Year, and shall submit such FF&E Estimate to Landlord, on or before December 1
of the preceding Lease Year, for its review and approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event that Landlord
shall fail to respond within thirty (30) days after receipt of the FF&E
Estimate, such FF&E Estimate shall be deemed approved by Landlord. Tenant shall,
consistent with the FF&E Estimate approved by Landlord, from time to time make
expenditures from the FF&E Reserve to be applied to the cost of repairs,
maintenance, renovations and replacements to and at such Property in accordance
with this Agreement provided that Tenant shall not materially deviate from the
FF&E Estimate approved by Landlord without the prior approval of Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except in
the case of emergency where immediate action is necessary to prevent imminent
harm to person or property. All amounts from the FF&E Reserve shall be paid to
Persons who are not Affiliated Persons of Tenant without ▇▇▇▇-up or allocated
internal costs by Tenant or its Affiliated Persons.
Funds in the FF&E Reserve and all property purchased with funds from
the FF&E Reserve during the Term shall be the property of Landlord and all FF&E
Reserve Payments shall constitute Additional Charges.
5.1.3 Landlord's Obligations.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, be required to build or
rebuild any improvement on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs,
replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or
description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary,
structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any
expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, or to maintain the Leased
Property in any way. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, 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.
(b) If, at any time, any MSLS Operating Agreement with respect
to a Property shall require that funds be disbursed for repairs,
maintenance, renovations or replacements at or to such Property
(including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 8.01 and 8.03 of
the MSLS Operating Agreements), or if, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.4
hereof), Tenant is required to make any expenditures in connection with
any repair, maintenance or renovation with respect to any Property and
the amount of such disbursements or expenditures either exceeds the
amount on deposit in the FF&E Reserve or is not a permitted expenditure
therefrom, Tenant may, at its election, advance such funds or
-31-
give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth, in
reasonable detail, the nature of the required repair, renovation or
replacement, the estimated cost thereof and such other information with
respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require. Provided that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Tenant shall
otherwise comply with the applicable provisions of Article 6, Landlord
shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such Notice, subject to and
in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article 6, disburse
such required funds to Tenant (or, if Tenant shall so elect, directly
to the Manager or any other Person performing the required work) and,
upon such disbursement, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided
in Section 3.1.1(c).
5.1.4 Nonresponsibility of Landlord, Etc. All materialmen,
contractors, artisans, mechanics and laborers and other persons contracting with
Tenant with respect to the Leased Property, or any part thereof, are hereby
charged with notice that liens on the Leased Property or on Landlord's interest
therein are expressly prohibited and that they must look solely to Tenant to
secure payment for any work done or material furnished to Tenant, MSLS, any
Manager 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 materials for any
alteration, addition, improvement or repair to the Leased Property 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 the Leased Property or any
part thereof nor to subject Landlord's estate in the Leased Property or any part
thereof to liability under any mechanic's lien law of any 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 shall provide and maintain (or
cause to be provided and maintained) throughout the Term all such Tenant's
Personal Property as shall be necessary in order to operate in compliance with
applicable material Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements and otherwise
in accordance with customary practice in the industry for the Permitted Use,
and, subject to MSLS's right to purchase all or any portion thereof pursuant to
Section 10.03 of the MSLS Operating Agreements, all of such Tenant's Personal
Property shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement,
become the property of Landlord. If, from and after the Commencement Date,
Tenant acquires an interest in any item of tangible personal property (other
than motor vehicles) on, or in connection with, the Leased Property which
belongs to anyone other than Tenant or MSLS, Tenant shall require the agreements
permitting such use to provide that Landlord or its designee may assume Tenant's
rights and obligations under such agreement upon the termination of this
-32-
Agreement and the assumption of management or operation of the Facility by
Landlord or its designee.
5.3 Yield Up. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this
Agreement, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord in
substantially the same condition in which the Leased Property was in on the
Commencement Date, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as
permitted or required by the provisions of this Agreement, reasonable wear and
tear excepted (and casualty damage and Condemnation, in the event that this
Agreement is terminated following a casualty or Condemnation in accordance with
Article 10 or Article 11 excepted).
In addition, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement, Tenant shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, use its good faith
efforts to transfer (or cause to be transferred) 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 use and operation of the Facility as then
operated. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall continue to manage one or more
of the Facilities after the expiration of the Term for up to one hundred eighty
(180) days, on such reasonable terms (which shall include an agreement to
reimburse Tenant for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, and
reasonable administrative costs), as Landlord shall reasonably request.
5.4 MSLS Operating Agreements. Simultaneously herewith, Tenant has
assumed the obligations of "Owner" under the MSLS Operating Agreements. Tenant
shall not amend or modify any MSLS Operating Agreement without Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned. Except as expressly provided in Section 5.1.3(b), Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, perform all of its obligations as "Owner" under each
MSLS Operating Agreement. Tenant shall, at all times, direct MSLS to perform all
of MSLS's obligations under the MSLS Operating Agreements and shall enforce all
of MSLS's obligations thereunder. Tenant shall not take any action, grant any
consent, or, except as provided in the MSLS Operating Agreements, permit any
action under any of the MSLS Operating Agreements without the prior written
consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned). Except as provided in the MSLS Operating Agreements, Tenant
shall not permit MSLS to assign any MSLS Operating Agreement or terminate any
MSLS Operating Agreement without the prior written approval of Landlord in each
instance. If Landlord shall perform any obligations of "Owner" under any MSLS
Operating Agreement (which Landlord may do subject to Section 12.5), the cost of
such performance 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.
-33-
5.5 Other Management Agreements. If any MSLS Operating Agreement should
terminate with respect to a Property, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), enter into, amend or modify the provisions of any other Management
Agreement with respect to such Property. Any Management Agreement entered into
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.5 shall be subordinate to this
Agreement and shall provide, inter alia, that all amounts due from Tenant to
Manager thereunder shall be subordinate to all amounts due from Tenant to
Landlord (provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Tenant may pay all amounts due to Manager thereunder pursuant to
such Management Agreement) and for termination thereof, at Landlord's option,
upon the termination of this Agreement. Tenant shall not take any action, grant
any consent or permit any action under any such Management Agreement which might
have a material adverse effect on Landlord, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned.
ARTICLE 6
IMPROVEMENTS, ETC.
6.1 Improvements to the Leased Property. Tenant shall not make,
construct or install (or permit to be made, constructed or installed) any
Capital Additions without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned provided that (a) construction or installation of the same would not
adversely affect or violate any material Legal Requirement or Insurance
Requirement applicable to the Leased Property and (b) Landlord shall have
received an Officer's Certificate certifying as to the satisfaction of the
conditions set out in clause (a) above; provided, however, that no such consent
shall be required (a) in the event immediate action is required to prevent
imminent harm to person or property or (b) so long as the MSLS Operating
Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to a Property, in the event such
MSLS Operating Agreement shall permit MSLS to take action with respect to the
affected Property without first obtaining the "Owner's" consent under such MSLS
Operating Agreement. Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition,
Tenant shall submit to Landlord, in writing, a proposal setting forth, in
reasonable detail, any such proposed improvement and shall provide to Landlord
such plans and specifications, and such permits, licenses, contracts and such
other information concerning the same as Landlord may reasonably request.
Landlord shall have thirty (30) days to review all materials submitted to
Landlord in connection with any such proposal. Failure of Landlord to respond to
Tenant's proposal within thirty (30) days after receipt of all information and
materials requested by Landlord in connection with the proposed improvement
shall be deemed to constitute approval of the same. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall indicate the approximate
projected cost of constructing such proposed improvement
-34-
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 Improvements with any other
improvements on property adjacent to the Leased Property (and not part of the
Land) including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or
utilities. Except as permitted herein, Tenant shall not finance the cost of any
construction of such improvement by the granting of a lien on or security
interest in the Leased Property or such improvement, or Tenant's interest
therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be
withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. Any such improvements shall,
upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, remain or pass to
and become the property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances other
than Permitted Encumbrances.
6.2 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 use its best efforts not,
directly or indirectly, to create or allow to remain and shall promptly
discharge (or cause to be discharged), at its expense, any lien, encumbrance,
attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Property or
Tenant's leasehold interest therein or any attachment, levy, claim or
encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (a) Permitted Encumbrances, (b)
restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented 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 16, (e) liens for Impositions
or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal Requirements so long as (i)
the same are not yet due and payable, or (ii) are being contested in accordance
with Article 8, (f) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or
vendors incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and
payable or are for sums that are being contested in accordance with Article 8,
(g) any Facility Mortgages or other liens which are the responsibility of
Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Article 20 and (h) Landlord Liens and any
other voluntary liens created by Landlord.
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, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, a security interest
in and an express contractual lien upon Tenant's Personal Property (except motor
vehicles), and Tenant's interest in all ledger sheets, files, records,
-35-
documents and instruments (including, without limitation, computer programs,
tapes and related electronic data processing) relating 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
Leased Property at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord
financing statements in form sufficient to perfect the security interest of
Landlord in Tenant's Personal Property and the proceeds thereof in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable laws of the State. During the continuance
of an Event of Default, Tenant hereby grants Landlord an irrevocable limited
power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute all such financing
statements in Tenant's name, place and stead. The security interest herein
granted is in 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, Environmental Obligation,
lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim (collectively, "Claims") as
to the Leased Property, 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 (or
cause to be paid) any Claims as finally determined, (b) such contest shall not
cause Landlord or Tenant to be in default under any mortgage or deed of trust
encumbering the Leased Property (Landlord agreeing that any such mortgage or
deed of trust shall permit Tenant to exercise the rights granted pursuant to
this Article 8) or any interest therein or result in or reasonably be expected
to result in a lien attaching to the Leased Property, (c) no part of the 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. 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) unless Tenant agrees by agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, to assume and indemnify Landlord with respect to the
same. 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
to the extent that Landlord has been fully reimbursed by Tenant. If Tenant shall
fail (x) to pay or cause to be paid any Claims when finally determined, (y) to
provide reasonable security therefor or (z) to prosecute or cause to be
prosecuted any such contest diligently and in good faith, Landlord
-36-
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.
ARTICLE 9
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 the Leased
Property, keep (or cause to be kept) each Property and all property located
therein or thereon, insured against the risks and in such amounts as is (a)
required by the MSLS Operating Agreements so long as the MSLS Operating
Agreements remain in effect, and (b) against such risks and in such amounts as
Landlord shall reasonably require and may be commercially reasonable. Tenant
shall prepare a proposal setting forth the insurance Tenant proposes to be
maintained with respect to such Property during the ensuing Fiscal Year, and
shall submit such proposal to Landlord on or before December 1 of the preceding
Lease Year, for Landlord's review and approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event that Landlord shall
fail to respond within thirty (30) days after receipt of such proposal, such
proposal shall be deemed approved.
9.2 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 any State) with respect to any property loss which
is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant, the party
carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the others of and from
any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree that their
respective insurance companies (and, if Landlord or Tenant shall self insure in
accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be) 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.
9.3 Form Satisfactory, Etc. All insurance policies and endorsements
required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be fully paid for, nonassessable, be
issued by insurance carriers authorized to do business in the State, and, so
long the MSLS Operating Agreement remains in effect with respect to a Property,
with respect to any insurance maintained by MSLS, be issued by reputable
insurance companies, and, otherwise, be issued by insurance carriers having a
general policy holder's rating of no less than A in Best's latest rating guide.
So long as the MSLS Operating Agreement remains in
-37-
effect with respect to a Property, the property, business interruption,
liability and flood insurance policies with respect to such Property shall
include only those deductibles permitted by such MSLS Operating Agreement. After
the MSLS Operating Agreement terminates with respect to a Property, all
property, business interruption, liability and flood insurance policies with
respect to such Property shall include no deductible in excess of Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). At all times, all property, business
interruption, liability and flood insurance policies, with the exception of
worker's compensation insurance coverage, shall name Landlord and any Facility
Mortgagee as additional insureds, as their interests may appear. All loss
adjustments shall be payable as provided in Article 10, except that losses under
liability and worker's compensation insurance policies shall be payable directly
to the party entitled thereto. Tenant shall cause all insurance premiums to be
paid and shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) policies or certificates
thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and, with respect to any
renewal policy, prior to the expiration of the existing policy). All such
policies shall provide Landlord (and any Facility Mortgagee if required by the
same) thirty (30) days prior written notice of any material change or
cancellation of such policy. In the event Tenant shall fail to effect (or cause
to be effected) such insurance as herein required, to pay (or cause to be paid)
the premiums therefor or to deliver (or cause to be delivered) such policies or
certificates to Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee at the times required,
Landlord shall have the right, upon Notice to Tenant, but not the obligation, 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
(but excluding) the date repaid.
9.4 No Separate Insurance; Self-Insurance. Tenant shall not take (or
permit any Person to 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 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. Tenant shall not self-insure (or permit any
Person to self-insure) without Landlord's prior written consent; provided,
however, that MSLS may self insure if and to the extent permitted under the MSLS
Operating Agreements.
9.5 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
-38-
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 by reason of
the following, except to the extent caused by Landlord's gross negligence or
willful misconduct: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of
or damage to property occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining
sidewalks or rights of way, (b) any past, present or future use, misuse,
non-use, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant, MSLS, any
Manager or anyone claiming under any of them 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 Leased
Property 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 that 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, at its expense, shall contest, resist and
defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against
Landlord (and shall not be responsible for any duplicative attorneys' fees
incurred by 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
9.5 are in addition to the obligations set forth in Section 4.4 and shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10
CASUALTY
10.1 Insurance Proceeds. Except as provided in the last clause of this
sentence, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to any Property,
or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance required by
Article 9 (other than the proceeds of any business interruption insurance) shall
be paid directly to Landlord (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2) and all
loss adjustments with respect to losses payable to Landlord shall require the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that, so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all such proceeds less than or
equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be paid directly to
Tenant and such losses may be adjusted without Landlord's consent. If Tenant is
required to reconstruct or repair any Property 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 Property necessitated by such damage or
destruction, subject to and in accordance with the
-39-
provisions of Section 10.2.4. Provided no Default or 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 the
provisions of Section 10.2.1 are applicable, the insurance proceeds shall be
retained by the party entitled thereto pursuant to Section 10.2.1.
10.2 Damage or Destruction.
10.2.1 Damage or Destruction of Leased Property. If, during
the Term, any Property shall be totally or partially destroyed and the Facility
located thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, either
Landlord or Tenant may, by the giving of Notice thereof to the other, terminate
this Agreement with respect to such affected Property, whereupon, this Agreement
shall terminate with respect to such affected Property and Landlord shall be
entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage. In
such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any deductible under the
insurance policies covering such Facility, the amount of any uninsured loss and
any difference between the replacement cost of the affected Property and the
casualty insurance proceeds therefor.
10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, any
Property shall be totally or partially destroyed but the Facility is not
rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, subject to Section
10.2.3, 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 Property exceeds the amount of insurance
proceeds received by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 9.1, Tenant shall
give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail
the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant shall pay and assume the amount
of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation to do so, except that, if Tenant
shall elect to make such funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable
obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement). In the event Tenant shall
elect not to pay and assume the amount of such deficiency, Landlord shall have
the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord's sole election by
Notice to Tenant, given within sixty (60) days after Tenant's notice of the
deficiency, to elect to make available for application to the cost of repair or
restoration the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, in such event,
upon any disbursement by Landlord thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as
provided in Section 3.1.1(c). In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant
shall elect to make such deficiency available for restoration, either Landlord
or Tenant may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property by
Notice to the other, whereupon, this Agreement shall so terminate and insurance
proceeds shall be distributed as provided in Section 10.2.1. It is expressly
understood and agreed, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, Tenant shall be strictly
-40-
liable and solely responsible for the amount of any deductible and shall, upon
any insurable loss, pay over the amount of such deductible to Landlord at the
time and in the manner herein provided for payment of the applicable proceeds to
Landlord.
10.2.4 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant is
required to restore any Property pursuant to Section 10.2 and this Agreement is
not terminated as to such Property pursuant to this Article 10, Tenant shall
commence (or cause to be commenced) promptly and continue diligently to perform
(or cause to be performed) the repair and restoration of such Property
(hereinafter called the "Work"), so as to restore (or cause to be restored) such
Property in material compliance with all Legal Requirements and so that such
Property shall be, to the extent practicable, substantially equivalent 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 and any additional amounts payable by Landlord pursuant to
Section 10.2.3 or otherwise deposited with Landlord 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 made not more than
monthly within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant submits to Landlord a written
requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such
other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord). Landlord may,
at its option, condition advancement of such insurance proceeds and other
amounts on (i) the absence of any Event of Default, (ii) its approval of plans
and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iii) general
contractors' estimates, (iv) architect's certificates, (v) conditional lien
waivers of general contractors, if available, (vi) evidence of approval by all
governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required,
(vii), if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to Section
10.2.3, Tenant depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and (viii) such other
certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.
Landlord's obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this Article
10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds by any Facility Mortgagee to
Landlord.
Tenant's obligation to restore the applicable Property pursuant to this
Article 10 shall be subject to the release of available insurance proceeds by
the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord or directly to Tenant and, in the
event such proceeds are insufficient, Landlord electing to make such deficiency
available therefor (and disbursement of such deficiency).
10.2.5 MSLS Operating Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as the MSLS Operating
Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to a Property, if such Property
shall be totally or partially destroyed and Tenant as "Owner" under such MSLS
Operating Agreement shall be
-41-
obligated to restore such Property, Tenant shall, subject to Section 10.2.3,
promptly restore such Facility as provided in Section 10.2.4.
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 Property occurs
during the last twelve (12) 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 six (6) months prior to the end of the Term, the provisions of
Section 10.2.1 shall apply as if such Property had been totally or partially
destroyed and the Facility thereon rendered Unsuitable for its Permitted 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 shall be paid to Tenant
and, to the extent necessary to repair or replace 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.
10.5 Restoration of Tenant's Property. If Tenant is required to restore
any Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either (a) restore all
alterations and improvements made by Tenant and Tenant's Personal Property, or
(b) replace such alterations and improvements and Tenant's Personal Property
with improvements or items of the same or better quality and utility in the
operation of such Property. If Tenant is not required to restore and does not,
in fact, restore, Tenant shall pay over to Landlord the amount, if any, of
insurance proceeds received by Tenant with respect to any of Tenant's Personal
Property which was purchased with funds from the FF&E Reserve.
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 remain unabated
during the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property
(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 Leased Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or
State statute, laws, rules, 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 the Leased Property,
or any portion thereof.
ARTICLE 11
CONDEMNATION
-42-
11.1 Total Condemnation, Etc. If either (i) the whole of any Property
shall be taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation of less than the whole of
any Property renders any Property Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, this
Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, Tenant and Landlord
shall seek the Award for their interests in the applicable Property as provided
in Section 11.6.
11.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less than
the whole of any Property such that such Property is still suitable for its
Permitted Use, Tenant shall, to the extent of the Award and any additional
amounts disbursed by Landlord as hereinafter provided, commence (or cause to be
commenced) promptly and continue diligently to restore (or cause to be restored)
the untaken portion of the applicable Leased Improvements 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 such Leased Improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in
material compliance with all Legal Requirements, subject to the provisions of
this Section 11.2. If the cost of the repair or restoration of the affected
Property exceeds the amount of the Award, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice
thereof which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such
deficiency and whether Tenant shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency
(Tenant having no obligation to do so, except that if Tenant shall elect to make
such funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant
pursuant to this Agreement). In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and
assume the amount of such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the
obligation), exercisable at Landlord's sole election by Notice to Tenant given
within sixty (60) days after Tenant's Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make
available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of
such deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by
Landlord thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section
3.1.1(c). In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such
deficiency available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate
this Agreement with respect to the affected Property and the entire Award shall
be allocated as set forth in Section 11.6.
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 and any deficiency Landlord has agreed to disburse, 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 (i) the absence of any Event of
Default, (ii) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect
satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned), (iii) general contractors' estimates, (iv) architect's
certificates, (v) conditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available,
(vi) evidence of approval by all
-43-
governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required,
(vii), if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, Tenant depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and
(viii) 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 Leased Property shall be subject to the
release of the Award by the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord.
11.3 MSLS Operating Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as the MSLS Operating Agreement
shall remain in effect with respect to a Property, if there is a Condemnation of
any portion of such Property and Tenant as "Owner" under such MSLS Operating
Agreement shall be obligated to restore such Property, Tenant shall, subject to
the second and third sentences of this Section 11.3, promptly restore such
Facility as provided in Section 11.2.
11.4 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 Leased Property, or any portion
thereof. The provisions of this Article 11 shall be considered an express
agreement governing any Condemnation involving the 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 provides for such a
contingency shall have any application in such case.
11.5 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation
of any Property or Tenant's interest therein, this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay (or cause to be paid), in
the manner and on the terms herein specified, the full amount of the Rent.
Tenant shall continue to perform and observe (or cause to be performed and
observed) all of the other terms and conditions of 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 the Leased Property to the condition that existed immediately
prior to such Condemnation, in material compliance with all applicable 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.
-44-
11.6 Allocation of Award. Except as provided in Section 11.5 and the
second sentence of this Section 11.6, 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 Leased Property, loss of business
during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant's Personal Property
(other than any such property purchased with the FF&E Reserve), the taking of
Capital Additions paid for by Tenant and 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 or any
other sum (including, but not limited to, funding of the FF&E Reserve)
payable hereunder when due; or
(b) should Tenant 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) and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30)
days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; 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 commences to cure or cause to be cured 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 ninety (90) days in the aggregate) as may
be necessary to cure such default with all due diligence; or
(d) should any obligation of Tenant in respect of any
Indebtedness for money borrowed or for any material property or
services, or any guaranty relating thereto, be declared to be or become
due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, or should there
occur and be continuing with respect to any such Indebtedness any event
of 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
-45-
holder or holders, to cause such any such obligations to become due
prior to its stated maturity; or
(e) should an event of default by Tenant, any Guarantor or any
Affiliated Person as to Tenant or any Guarantor occur and be continuing
beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period under any of the
Incidental Documents; or
(f) should any event of default by any Affiliated Person of
Five Star occur and be continuing beyond the expiration of any
applicable cure period under the Other Lease; or
(g) should Tenant or any Guarantor generally not be paying its
debts as they become due or should Tenant or any Guarantor make a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
(h) should any petition be filed by or against Tenant or any
Guarantor under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other
proceeding be instituted by or against Tenant or any Guarantor seeking
to adjudicate Tenant or any Guarantor a bankrupt or insolvent, or
seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of Tenant's 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 or any Guarantor or for
any substantial part of the property of Tenant or any Guarantor and
such proceeding is not dismissed within one hundred eighty (180) days
after institution thereof; or
(i) should Tenant or any Guarantor cause or institute any
proceeding for its dissolution or termination; or
(j) should the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased
Property 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) ninety (90) days after commencement thereof, unless the
amount in dispute is less than $250,000, in which case Tenant shall
give notice to Landlord of the dispute but Tenant may defend in any
suitable way, and (y) two hundred seventy (270) 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
(k) should any default by Tenant as "Owner" under any MSLS
Operating Agreement occur and be continuing beyond the expiration of
any applicable cure period under such MSLS Operating Agreement; or
(l) should there occur any direct or indirect Change in
Control of Tenant or any Guarantor, except as otherwise permitted by
Article 16; or
-46-
(m) should a final unappealable determination be made by the
applicable Government Agency that Tenant shall have failed to comply
with applicable Medicare and/or Medicaid regulations in the operation
of any Facility, as a result of which failure Tenant is declared
ineligible to receive reimbursements under the Medicare and/or Medicaid
programs for such Facility;
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
Leased Property by giving Notice thereof to Tenant and upon the expiration of
the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this Agreement shall terminate with
respect to all or the designated portion of the Leased Property and all rights
of Tenant under this Agreement with respect thereto shall cease. 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, subject to any rights of
MSLS under any MSLS Operating Agreement, Landlord may, in addition to any other
remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Property or any portion thereof
and take possession of any and all of Tenant's Personal Property, if any, and
the Records, 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, if any, 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 pursuant
to Section 12.1, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property or any portion
thereof, (c) the failure of Landlord to re-let the Leased Property or any
portion thereof, nor (d) the reletting of all or any of portion of the Leased
Property, 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 Leased Property, or terminated portion
thereof, through and including the date of such termination. 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 the Leased Property or any portion
thereof shall have been re-let,
-47-
shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current damages,
the Rent (Additional Rent to be reasonably calculated by Landlord based on
historical Net Patient Revenues) 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 Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, after deducting all reasonable 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.
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 Leased Property.
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 an
amount equal to the present value (as reasonably determined by Landlord) of 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 and Additional
Rent 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.
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, subject to any rights of MSLS
under the MSLS Operating Agreement, (a) relet the Leased Property 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 the Leased Property or any portion thereof as
Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable and necessary
for the purpose of reletting the 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
-48-
any portion of the Leased Property, or, in the event that the Leased Property 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 the
Leased Property, by reason of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default hereunder.
12.3 Tenant's Waiver. IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED 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 current and past
due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may determine or
as may be prescribed by the laws of the State. Any balance shall be paid to
Tenant.
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 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 the Leased Property or any
portion thereof for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate
therefor. 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.
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 other charges herein provided
(prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall
-49-
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.
ARTICLE 14
LANDLORD DEFAULT
If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of
its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or any obligation of
Landlord, if any, under any agreement affecting the Leased Property, the
performance of which is not Tenant's obligation pursuant to this Agreement, and
any 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 (to the
extent permitted by law) from the date Landlord receives Tenant's invoice until
paid, 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 in accordance with Article 22.
ARTICLE 15
PURCHASE RIGHTS
Subject to the right of MSLS pursuant to Section 10.03 of the MSLS
Operating Agreements, Landlord shall have the option to purchase Tenant's
Personal Property, at the expiration or termination of this Agreement, for an
amount equal to the then fair market value thereof (current replacement cost as
determined by agreement of the parties or, in the absence of such agreement,
appraisal), subject to, and with appropriate price adjustments for, all
equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, UCC-1 financing statements and
other encumbrances to
-50-
which such Personal Property is subject (except that any such property purchased
with the FF&E Reserve shall be transferred to Landlord as provided in Section
5.1.2). Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, Tenant
shall use its reasonable efforts to transfer and assign, or cause to be
transferred and assigned, to Landlord or its designee, or assist Landlord or its
designee in obtaining, any contracts, licenses, and certificates required for
the then operation of the Leased Property.
ARTICLE 16
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as provided in Section 16.3,
Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent (which consent may be
given or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion), assign, mortgage,
pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or sublease
or permit the sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of
concessions, licenses and the like), of all or any part of the Leased Property
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
operation of the Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant, MSLS, any Manager
approved by Landlord pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement or
residents and patients of Tenant, or the Leased Property 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, without limitation, any direct or indirect Change in
Control of Tenant.
If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property or any part
thereof are sublet (or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, MSLS, any Manager,
their respective employees or residents or patients of Tenant), 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.
Any assignment or transfer of Tenant's interest under this Agreement
shall be subject to such assignee's or transferee's delivery to Landlord of (i)
a pledge of the stock, partnership, membership or other ownership interests of
such assignee or other transferee to secure Tenant's obligations under this
Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which pledge shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and (ii) a security
agreement granting
-51-
Landlord a security interest in of all such assignee's or transferee's right,
title and interest in and to any personal property, intangibles and fixtures
(other than accounts receivable) with respect to any Leased Property which is
subject to any such assignment or transfer to secure Tenant's obligations under
this Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which security agreement shall be
in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.
No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing
primary liability of Tenant hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant expressly
otherwise agree that Tenant shall be released from all obligations 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 Permitted 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 the Leased Property entered into on or after the date hereof 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 the
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 of such attornment, (vii) be responsible for any monies owing by
Tenant to the credit of such subtenant unless actually delivered to Landlord by
Tenant, or (viii) be required to remove any Person occupying any portion of the
Leased Property; 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
-52-
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 Sublease Notwithstanding the foregoing, including,
without limitation, Section 16.2, but subject to the provisions of Section 16.4
and any other express conditions or limitations set forth herein, Tenant may, in
each instance after Notice to Landlord may (unless otherwise provided in the
MSLS Operating Agreements), (a) enter into third party residency agreements with
respect to the units located at the Facilities, (b) sublease space at any
Property for laundry, commissary or child care purposes or other concessions in
furtherance of the Permitted Use, so long as such subleases will not reduce the
number of units at any 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 reasonably require,
(c) enter into subleases, concession or license agreements expressly permitted
by the terms of the MSLS Operating Agreements (including, without limitation,
the provisions of Sections 2.02 and 2.04(6) of the MSLS Operating Agreements),
subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained therein, and (d) enter
into one or more subleases with Affiliated Persons of Tenant with respect to the
Leased Property or any portion thereof provided Tenant gives Landlord Notice of
the material terms and conditions thereof.
16.4 Sublease Limitation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property on any
basis such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would be
based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by the business
activities of such sublessee, 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 or
-53-
would otherwise disqualify Landlord for treatment as a real estate investment
trust.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
17.1 Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time, but not
more than a reasonable number of times per year, upon not less than ten (10)

Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that this Agreement is

exchange commission, the SEC or any successor agency, or any other
governmental authority, or required pursuant to any order issued by any

-54-
authority or arbitrator in any litigation to which Landlord is a party,
for purposes of compliance therewith; provided, however, that, except
as to calculations pertaining to Net Patient Revenues, Tenant shall not
be required to provide audited financials with respect to any
individual Facility unless Landlord shall agree to pay for the cost
thereof;
(e) promptly, after receipt or sending thereof, copies of all
notices given or received by Tenant under any Management Agreement; and
(f) promptly, upon Notice from Landlord, such other
information concerning the business, financial condition and affairs of
Tenant and any Guarantor as Landlord reasonably may request from time
to time.
Landlord may at any time, and from time to time, provide any Facility
Mortgagee with copies of any of the foregoing statements, subject to Landlord
obtaining the agreement of such Facility Mortgagee to maintain such statements
and the information therein as confidential.
17.3 General Operations. Tenant covenants and agrees to furnish to
Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt or modification thereof, copies
of:
(a) all licenses authorizing Tenant and/or MSLS or any other
Manager to operate any Facility for its Primary Intended Use;
(b) all Medicare and Medicaid certifications, together with
provider agreements and all material correspondence relating thereto

so long as the MSLS Operating Agreements shall remain in effect, any such
Encumbrance shall be consistent with the requirements of Article 6 of the MSLS
Operating Agreement affecting the applicable Property.
20.2 Subordination of Lease. This Agreement and any and all rights of
Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or
master lease, and all renewals, extensions, modifications and replacements
thereof, and to all mortgages and deeds of trust, which may now or hereafter
affect the Leased Property or any improvements thereon and/or any of such
leases, whether or not such mortgages or deeds of trust shall also cover other
lands and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every advance made or
hereafter to be made under such mortgages and deeds of trust, and to all
renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such
mortgages and deeds of trust and all consolidations of such mortgages and deeds
of trust. This section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of
subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant
shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord,
the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or the
trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust or any of their respective
successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination.
Any lease to which this Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and
subordinate is herein called "Superior Lease" and the lessor of a Superior Lease
or its successor in interest at the time referred to is herein called "Superior
Landlord" and any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Agreement is, at the
time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called "Superior Mortgage"
and the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior Mortgage is herein called
"Superior Mortgagee". Tenant shall have no obligations under any Superior Lease

Landlord"), whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a
new lease or deed, or otherwise, at such Successor Landlord's request, Tenant
shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under
this Agreement and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that
such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment
(provided that such instrument does not alter the terms of this Agreement),
whereupon, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as a direct
lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms,
conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Agreement, except that the
Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this Agreement or its
nominee or designee) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or
omission, neglect or default on the part of any prior Landlord under this
Agreement, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with any prior
Landlord to the credit of Tenant (except to the extent actually paid or
delivered to the Successor Landlord), (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff
which theretofore accrued to Tenant against any prior Landlord, (d) bound by any
modification of this Agreement subsequent to such Superior Lease or Mortgage, or
by any previous prepayment of Rent for more than one (1) month in advance of the
date due hereunder, which was not approved in writing by the Superior Landlord
or the Superior Mortgagee thereto, (e) liable to Tenant beyond the Successor
Landlord's interest in the Leased Property and the rents, income, receipts,
revenues, issues and profits issuing from the Leased Property, (f) responsible
for the performance of any work to be done by the Landlord under this Agreement
to render the Leased Property ready for occupancy by Tenant (subject to
Landlord's obligations under Section 5.1.3(b) or with respect to any insurance
or Condemnation proceeds), or (g) required to remove any Person occupying the
Leased Property or any part thereof, except if such person claims by, through or
under the Successor Landlord. Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to
execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant's agreement to attorn,
as aforesaid and Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an instrument of
nondisturbance and attornment from each such Superior Mortgagee and Superior
Landlord (other than the lessors under ground leases with respect to the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Successor Landlord shall be liable
(a) to pay to Tenant any amounts owed under Section 5.1.3(b), and (b) to pay to
Tenant any portions of insurance proceeds or Awards received by Landlord or the
Successor Landlord required to be paid to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, and, as a condition to any mortgage, lien or lease in respect of the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and the subordination of this Agreement
thereto, the mortgagee, lienholder or lessor, as applicable, shall expressly
agree, for the benefit of Tenant, to make such payments, which agreement shall
be embodied in an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
20.3 Notice to Mortgagee and Superior Landlord. Subsequent to the
receipt by Tenant of Notice from Landlord as to the identity of

any Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord under a lease with Landlord, as
ground lessee, which includes the Leased Property as part of the demised
premises and which complies with Section 20.1 (which Notice shall be accompanied
by a copy of the applicable mortgage or lease), no Notice from Tenant to
Landlord as to a default by Landlord under this Agreement shall be effective
with respect to a Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord unless and until a
copy of the same is given to such Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord at the

on the parties.
In the event Landlord or Tenant shall elect to submit any such dispute
to arbitration hereunder, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint and pay all
fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years'
recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.
Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other,

so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator. If either Landlord or Tenant

entered upon the award of the arbitrators in accordance with the rules and
statutes applicable thereto then obtaining.
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, to the extent any such
dispute shall involve any Manager and be subject to arbitration pursuant to such
Manager's Management Agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to
consolidate any such arbitration hereunder and under such Management Agreement
into a single proceeding.
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 or Tenant 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.
-63-
23.3 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each
legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or Tenant,
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 or Tenant (as applicable) 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 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 the Leased Property 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 the Leased Property.
23.7 Conveyance by Landlord. If Landlord or any successor owner of all
or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the
Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a
debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property 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 Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such
conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations
shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.
23.8 Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Leased Property 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

20 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,
provided the same do not materially interfere with Tenant's ability to operate
any Facility 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 ▇▇▇▇▇, 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 No Recordation. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this

Landlord shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.
Whenever it is provided in this Agreement that Tenant shall direct MSLS or any

obligation unless Tenant shall have exhausted all applicable rights and remedies
of Tenant as "Owner" under the MSLS Operating Agreement or any other Management
Agreement.

more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but which, when
