LEASED PROPERTY AND TERM

2.1               Leased Property.  Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord all of Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to all of the following (each of items (a) through (g) below which relates to any single Facility, a “Property” and, collectively, the “Leased Property”):

(a)           those certain tracts, pieces and parcels of land, as more particularly described in Exhibits A-1 through A-50 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Land”);

(b)           all buildings, structures and other improvements of every kind including, but not limited to, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines (on-site and off-site), parking areas and roadways appurtenant to such buildings and structures presently situated upon the Land (collectively, the “Leased Improvements”);

(c)           all easements, rights and appurtenances relating to the Land and the Leased Improvements;

18

(d)           all equipment, machinery, fixtures, and other items of property, now or hereafter permanently affixed to or incorporated into the Leased Improvements, including, without limitation, all furnaces, boilers, heaters, electrical equipment, heating, plumbing, lighting, ventilating, refrigerating, incineration, air and water pollution control, waste disposal, air-cooling and air-conditioning systems and apparatus, sprinkler systems and fire and theft protection equipment, all of which, to the maximum extent permitted by law, are hereby deemed by the parties hereto to constitute real estate, together with all replacements, modifications, alterations and additions thereto, but specifically excluding all items included within the category of Tenant’s Personal Property (collectively, the “Fixtures”);

(e)           all machinery, equipment, furniture, furnishings, moveable walls or partitions, computers or trade fixtures or other personal property of any kind or description used or useful in Tenant’s business on or in the Leased Improvements, and located on or in the Leased Improvements, and all modifications, replacements, alterations and additions to such personal property, except items, if any, included within the category of Fixtures, but specifically excluding all items included within the category of Tenant’s Personal Property (collectively, the “Leased Personal Property”);

(f)            all of the Leased Intangible Property; and

(g)           any and all leases of space in the Leased Improvements.

2.2               Condition of Leased Property.  Tenant acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and Tenant accepts the Leased Property in its “as is” condition, subject to the rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title, including all covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, mineral leases, easements and other matters of record or that are visible or apparent on the Leased Property, all applicable Legal Requirements, the lien of any financing instruments, mortgages and deeds of trust existing prior to the applicable Commencement Date for any Property or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and such other matters which would be disclosed by an inspection of the Leased Property and the record title thereto or by an accurate survey thereof.  TENANT REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS INSPECTED THE LEASED PROPERTY AND

19

ALL OF THE FOREGOING AND HAS FOUND THE CONDITION THEREOF SATISFACTORY AND IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF LANDLORD OR LANDLORD’S AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO AND TENANT WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR ACTION AGAINST LANDLORD IN RESPECT OF THE CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY.  LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, however, Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all of Landlord’s rights to proceed against any predecessor in interest or insurer for breaches of warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property.  Landlord shall fully cooperate with Tenant in the prosecution of any such claims, in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such cooperation.

2.3               Fixed Term.  The initial term of this Agreement (the “Fixed Term”) with respect to each Property commenced on the Commencement Date with respect to such Property and shall expire on June 30, 2026.

2.4               Extended Terms.  Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term for two renewal terms of ten (10) years each (each an “Extended Term”).

If and to the extent Tenant shall exercise the options, the first Extended Term shall commence on July 1, 2026 and expire on June 30, 2036 and the second Extended Term shall commence on July 1, 2036 and expire on June 30, 2046.  All of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each Extended Term, except that Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term beyond June 30, 2046.  If Tenant shall elect to exercise the option to extend the Term for the first Extended Term, it shall do so by giving Landlord Notice thereof not later than June 30, 2024, and if Tenant shall elect to exercise its option to extend the Term for the second Extended Term after having elected to extend the Term for the first Extended Term, it shall do so by giving Landlord Notice not later than June 30, 2034, it being understood and agreed that time shall be of the

20

essence with respect to the giving of any such Notice.  If Tenant shall fail to give any such Notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Fixed Term or the first Extended Term as applicable and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Agreement.  If Tenant shall give such Notice, the extension of this Agreement shall be automatically effected without the execution of any additional documents; it being understood and agreed, however, that Tenant and Landlord shall execute such documents and agreements as either party shall reasonably require to evidence the same.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing sentence, if, subsequent to the giving of such Notice, an Event of Default shall occur, at Landlord’s option, the extension of this Agreement shall cease to take effect and this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Fixed Term or the Extended Term, as applicable, and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term for the second Extended Term with respect to any Properties located in the State of California.  If Tenant shall extend the Term for the second Extended Term, the definition of Leased Property shall exclude any Properties located in the State of California during the second Extended Term, Minimum Rent shall be reduced by the Minimum Rent allocated thereto by the parties, and Tenant shall surrender such Properties to Landlord at the expiration of the first Extended Term in the condition required by Section 5.3 and shall comply with all of its other obligations relating to such Properties as if the Term had expired at the end of the first Extended Term.

2.5          Limitations on Term.  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 to the contrary, the Term of this Agreement with respect to any Property shall not extend beyond the term of any ground lease (including renewals and extensions thereof) pursuant to which Landlord leases such Property.

ARTICLE 3

RENT

3.1               Rent.  Tenant shall pay, in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, without offset, abatement, demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly provided in this

21

Agreement), Minimum Rent and Additional Rent to Landlord and Additional Charges to the party to whom such Additional Charges are payable, during the Term.  All payments to Landlord shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds or by other means acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion.  Rent for any partial calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

3.1.1           Minimum Rent.

(a)           Payments.  Minimum Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month during the Term.

(b)           Allocation of Minimum Rent.  Minimum Rent may be allocated and reallocated among the Properties comprising the Leased Property by agreement among Landlord and Tenant; provided, however that in no event shall the Minimum Rent allocated to any Property be less than the monthly amount payable by Landlord on account of any Facility Mortgage and/or ground or master lease with respect to such Property nor shall the aggregate amount of Minimum Rent allocated among the Properties exceed the total amount payable for the Leased Property.

(c)           Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Disbursements Under Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.3 and 11.2.  Effective on the date of each disbursement to pay for the cost of any repairs, maintenance, renovations or replacements pursuant to Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.3 or 11.2, the annual Minimum Rent shall be increased by a per annum amount equal to the Disbursement Rate times the amount so disbursed.  If any such disbursement is made during any calendar month on a day other than the first Business Day of such calendar month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar month (in addition to the amount of Minimum Rent payable with respect to such calendar month, as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (c)) the amount by which Minimum Rent for the preceding calendar month, as adjusted for such disbursement on a per diem basis, exceeded the amount of Minimum Rent paid by Tenant for such preceding calendar month.

(d)           Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Partial Lease Termination.  Subject to Section 4.1.1(b), if this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Property but

22

less than all of the Leased Property, Minimum Rent shall be reduced by the affected Property’s allocable share of Minimum Rent determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

3.1.2           Additional Rent.

(a)           Amount.  Tenant shall pay additional rent (“Additional Rent”) with respect to each Lease Year during the Term in an amount, not less than zero, equal to four percent (4%) of Excess Gross Revenues at each Senior Housing Property.

(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.  Quarterly payments of Additional Rent for each Senior Housing Property shall be calculated based on Gross Revenues for such quarter 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.

(c)           Reconciliation of Additional Rent.  In addition, within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Lease Year (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 Gross Revenues for each Senior Housing 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, or portion thereof, based on the Gross 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.

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

23

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 Senior Housing Properties in accordance with its usual and customary practices and in all material respects in accordance with GAAP, which will accurately record all Gross 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 Gross 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.  All such audits shall be performed at the location where such books and records are customarily kept and in such a manner so as to minimize any interference with Tenant’s business operations.  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 determined, Tenant

24

shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined, together with interest at the Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof, and if the amount of such deficiency exceeds five percent (5%) of the Additional Rent that should have been paid for any Lease Year, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the aggregate amount of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such audit.  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 disclosed or used, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards, pursuant to court order or 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

25

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 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 Laws, 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 or other equity interests, 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

26

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)           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.

(e)           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.

27

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, 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

28

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 any Property, continuously use and operate, or cause to be used and operated, (i) each Senior Housing Property as a skilled nursing/intermediate care/independent living/assisted living/ special care/group home facility as currently operated, and any uses incidental thereto, and (ii) each Rehabilitation Hospital Property as a rehabilitation hospital, clinic or professional level health or medical services facility, and any uses incidental thereto.  Tenant

29

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 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 such 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 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, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to agree on an alternative use for such Property, appropriate adjustments to the Additional Rent (if applicable) and other related matters; provided, however, in no event shall the Minimum Rent be reduced or abated as a result thereof.  If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on an alternative use for such Property within sixty (60) days after commencing negotiations as aforesaid, Tenant may market such Property for sale to a third party.  If Tenant receives a bona fide offer (an “Offer”) to purchase such Property 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 sell the Property pursuant to such Offer,

30

then, effective as of the date of such sale, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, and the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the net proceeds of sale received by Landlord multiplied by the Interest Rate.  If Landlord shall reject (or be deemed to have rejected) such Offer, then, effective as of the proposed date of such sale, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, and the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the projected net proceeds determined by reference to such Offer multiplied by the Interest Rate.

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 Laws 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 any 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 any Property, or any portion thereof, to be used in such a manner as (a) may materially and adversely impair Landlord’s title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (b) may reasonably allow a claim or claims for adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of such Property, or any portion thereof.

4.2               Compliance with Legal/Insurance Requirements, Etc.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.2(b) and Article 8, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall (a) comply with (or cause to be complied with) all material Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in respect of the use, operation, maintenance, repair, alteration and restoration of any Property and with the terms and conditions of any ground lease affecting any Property, (b) perform (or cause to be performed) in a timely fashion all of Landlord’s obligations under any ground lease affecting any Property and (c) procure, maintain and comply with (or cause to be procured, maintained and complied with) all material

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 any Property, subject to Tenant’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 Laws, (x) to clean up and remove from and about such Property all Hazardous Substances thereon, (y) to contain and prevent any further release or threat of release of Hazardous Substances on or about such Property and (z) to use good faith efforts to eliminate any further release or threat of release of Hazardous Substances on or about such Property.

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, 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 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 be made all necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements to each Property 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 Date for such Property (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

34

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 Tenant’s obligations with respect to Hazardous Substances are as set forth in Section 4.4.

5.1.2           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 any Property at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law in effect on the Commencement Date for such Property or thereafter 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, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Tenant is required to make any expenditures in connection with any repair, maintenance or renovation with respect to any Property, Tenant may, at its election, advance such funds or 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). 

35

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect not to disburse such required funds to Tenant; provided, however, that if Landlord shall elect not to disburse such required funds as aforesaid, Tenant’s obligation to make such required repair, renovation or replacement shall be deemed waived by Landlord, and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation to make such required repair, renovation or replacement.

5.1.3           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 or 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.  If, from and after the Commencement Date with respect to any Property, Tenant acquires an interest in any item of tangible personal property (other than motor vehicles) on, or in connection with, the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, which belongs to anyone other than Tenant, Tenant shall require the agreements permitting such use to provide that Landlord or

36

its designee may assume Tenant’s rights and obligations under such agreement upon Landlord’s purchase of the same in accordance with the provisions of Article 15 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 (or the termination of this Agreement with respect to any Property), Tenant shall, subject to the completion of a transfer of ownership approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health with respect to each Rehabilitation Hospital Property, vacate and surrender the Leased Property or such Property (as applicable) to Landlord in substantially the same condition in which such Property was in on its 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 with respect to any Senior Housing Property, 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 located on such Property as then operated.  If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall continue to manage one or more of the Facilities located at the Senior Housing Properties after the expiration of the Term with respect to such Properties 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.

In addition, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement with respect to either Rehabilitation Hospital Property, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s reasonable cost and expense, use its best efforts to complete the transfer of ownership of the hospital business and the related hospital operations and records necessary for such operation to, and cooperate with Landlord or Landlord’s nominee in connection with the processing of all applications for, licenses, operating

37

permits and other governmental authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with governmental or quasi-governmental entities, which may be necessary for the operation of the hospitals at such Properties.  Until such transfer of ownership is approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, it is understood that Tenant shall continue as owner and licensee of the hospital business and the related hospital operations conducted at the Facilities located at the Rehabilitation Hospital Properties after the termination of this Agreement and for so long thereafter as is necessary for Landlord or Landlord’s nominee to obtain all necessary licenses, operating permits and other governmental authorizations.  If a new tenant is not licensed upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement in connection with a Default or Event of Default by Tenant, then, during such post termination period, Tenant shall pay hold over rent in accordance with Section 13.  Otherwise, during such period, Minimum Rent with respect to each applicable Rehabilitation Hospital Property shall be payable in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Minimum Rent attributable to such Rehabilitation Hospital Property for the last month of the Term for the first six (6) months after the expiration date and fifty percent (50%) of such Minimum Rent thereafter.  If necessary, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the Minimum Rent attributable to each Rehabilitation Hospital Property, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Minimum Rent attributable to each Rehabilitation Hospital Property shall equal the fair market rent for such Rehabilitation Hospital Property.  If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Minimum Rent attributable to either Rehabilitation Hospital Property within thirty (30) days following the commencement of such negotiations, then the Minimum Rent attributable to such Rehabilitation Hospital Property shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 22.  It is expressly understood and agreed that any transfer with respect to a Rehabilitation Hospital Property pursuant to this Section 5.3 or any other Section of this Agreement is not a transfer of ownership of the hospital and is not a transfer of the right, title and interest related to the licenses granted by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to operate the Facilities thereon or any other permit, license or certification used in the operation of such Facilities that is otherwise by its terms non-transferable.  Any such change in ownership and licensee shall be subject, in all events, to the approval of each and every applicable Government Agency, including, without limitation, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and Applicable Law, Tenant being obligated to cooperate in and facilitate such approval process.

38

5.4              Management Agreement.  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 Management Agreement with respect to any Property.  Any Management Agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4 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 any 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 in the event immediate action is required to prevent imminent harm to person or property.  No Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any Leased Improvements with any other improvements on property adjacent to any 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

39

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

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 any portion thereof, 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.

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

40

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, or any portion thereof (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, or any portion thereof, (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 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 any Property, or any portion thereof, keep (or cause to be kept) such Property and all property located therein or thereon, insured against the risks and in such amounts as is 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

41

proposes to be maintained with respect to each 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, and issued by reputable insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a general policy holder’s rating of no less than A in Best’s latest rating guide.  All property, business interruption, liability and flood insurance policies with respect to each 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 prior to the effective date of any policy, if required by such policy, or pursuant to an installment payment plan if permissible under such policy.  Not more than twenty five (25) days nor less than

42

five (5) days prior to the effective date of the policies or renewal policies (which, for renewal policies, shall be prior to the expiration of the existing policy), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of enforceable binders for such insurance coverage.  Tenant shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Landlord certificates evidencing such insurance coverage within five (5) days after the effective date of such policies, and thereafter Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the policies or renewal policies promptly upon receipt by Tenant.  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, but not the obligation, upon Notice to Tenant, to acquire such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which amounts shall be payable to Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Charges, together with interest accrued thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date such payment is made until (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) with respect to any insurance required to be carried hereunder by Tenant.

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 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

43

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 any Property or portion thereof or adjoining sidewalks or rights of way, (b) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant, 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 any Property or portion thereof 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

44

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 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 Facility 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

45

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 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) the applicable 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 (a) the absence of any Event of Default, (b) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or

46

conditioned), (c) general contractors’ estimates, (d) architect’s certificates, (e) conditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (f) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, (g), if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to Section 10.2.3, Tenant depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and (h) 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).

10.3             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.

47

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, or any portion thereof (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, or any portion thereof, 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

11.1             Total Condemnation, Etc.  If either (a) the whole of any Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (b) 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, and Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in the applicable Property as provided in Section 11.5.

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

48

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 11.5.

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 (a) the absence of any Event of Default, (b) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (c) general contractors’ estimates, (d) architect’s certificates, (e) conditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (f) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, (g), if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to the preceding paragraph, Tenant depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and (h) 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.

49

11.3             Abatement of Rent.  Other than as specifically provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any Condemnation involving the 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.

11.4             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 affected 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.

11.5             Allocation of Award.  Except as provided in Section 11.4 and the second sentence of this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be solely the property of and payable to Landlord.  Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property, loss of business during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant’s Personal Property, 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.

50

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 payable hereunder when due, which failure shall continue for at least five (5) Business Days after Notice from Landlord to Tenant; 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 should such default 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 material 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 holder or holders, to cause any such obligations to become due prior to its stated maturity; or

51

(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 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

(g)           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

(h)           should Tenant or any Guarantor cause or institute any proceeding for its dissolution or termination; or

(i)            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

(j)            should there occur any direct or indirect Change in Control of any or all of the Entities comprising Tenant or any Guarantor; or

(k)           should a final unappealable determination be made by the applicable Government Agency that Tenant shall have

52

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, 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, 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 any Security Agreement granted by Tenant.  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 relet 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,

53

repossession or reletting.  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 relet, 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 Gross 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 reletting 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 applicable Commencement Date for any Property, 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.

54

In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (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) 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 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

55

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.

12.6        Trade Names.  If this Agreement is terminated with respect to either or both of the Rehabilitation Hospital Properties for any reason, Landlord shall, upon the request of Tenant, cause the name of the business conducted upon such Property to be changed to a name other than a Facility Trade Name or any approximation or abbreviation thereof and sufficiently dissimilar to such name as to be unlikely to cause confusion with such name; provided, however, that Tenant shall not thereafter use a Facility Trade Name in the same market in which such Property is located in connection with any business that competes with such Property or the Facility located thereon.

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 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.

56

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

Landlord shall have the option to purchase Tenant’s Personal Property, at the expiration or sooner 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

57

financing statements and other encumbrances to which Tenant’s Personal Property is subject.  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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Article 15 shall diminish, impair or otherwise modify Landlord’s rights under the Security Agreement and that any amounts paid by Landlord in order to purchase Tenant’s Personal Property in accordance with this Article 15 shall be applied first to Tenant’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the applicable State and any balance shall be paid to Tenant.

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 the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, 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, or any portion thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, any Manager approved by Landlord pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement or residents and patients of Tenant, or the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, 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 any or all of the Entities comprising Tenant.

If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, is sublet (or occupied by anybody other

58

than Tenant or 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 (a) a Guaranty, which Guaranty shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which Guaranty shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; (b) 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 which pledge shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; (c) a security agreement granting Landlord a security interest in all of 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 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 and which security agreement shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; and (d) in the case of a sublease, an assignment which assigns all of such subtenant’s right, title and interest in such sublease to Landlord to secure Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which assignment shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which assignment shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder.

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

59

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 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 applicable 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 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

60

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 (x) 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 (y) in the 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, (a) enter into third party residency agreements with respect to the units located at the Senior Housing Properties, (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, and (c) 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.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that if Tenant enters into one (1) or more subleases with Affiliated Persons of Tenant with respect to any Property, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the preceding clause (c), Tenant may allocate the rent and other charges with respect to the affected Property in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that such allocation shall not affect Tenant’s (nor any Guarantor’s) liability for the Rent and other obligations of Tenant under this Agreement; and, provided, further, that Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any allocation or reallocation of the rent and

61

other charges with respect to the affected Property and, in any event, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the amount of such allocations at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date that Landlord or Senior Housing Properties Trust is required to file any tax returns in any State where such affected Property is located.

16.4             Sublease Limitation.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, 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 would otherwise disqualify Landlord for treatment as a real estate investment trust.

ARTICLE 17

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 to all mortgages and deeds of trust, which may now or hereafter affect the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, 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

66

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 such subordination, however, shall be subject to the provisions of, and conditioned upon receipt by Tenant of the nondisturbance agreement described in, the penultimate sentence of this Section 20.2.  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 or any successor in interest thereto is herein called “Superior Mortgagee”.  Tenant shall have no obligations under any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage other than those expressly set forth in this Section 20.2, unless Tenant shall agree otherwise pursuant to any agreement between Tenant and such Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee, as applicable.

67

such Superior Lease or Superior 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 5.1.2(b) or with respect to any insurance proceeds or Awards), 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 any ground leases with respect to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant whereby such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor, as applicable, shall agree to recognize Tenant’s possessory and other rights under this Agreement notwithstanding any foreclosure or lease termination, subject to the provisions of this Section 20.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Successor Landlord shall be liable (a) to pay to Tenant any amounts owed under Section 5.1.2(b), (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 (c) to recognize any reduction in Minimum Rent attributable to the provisions of Section 4.1.1(b).

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, or any portion thereof, 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 address set forth in the above described Notice, and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults within the applicable notice and cure periods set forth in Article 14 by

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 Laws, 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.

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

73

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.

74

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 Agreement.
