THIS MASTER LEASE ("Lease") is executed and delivered as of this 28th day of October, 2004 to be effective as of November 1, 2004, and is entered into by OHI ASSET (PA) TRUST, a Maryland business trust ("Lessor"), the address of which is ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and GUARDIAN LTC MANAGEMENT, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Lessee"), the address of which is ▇▇▇. ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. Box 219, Brockway, PA 15824.

RECITALS

The circumstances underlying the execution and delivery of this Lease are as follows:

A. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Lease have the respective meanings given them in Article II below.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has acquired the Leased Properties from Lessee and the Sublessees pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and other Purchase Documents.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has agreed to lease the Leased Properties to Lessee, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has agreed to lease the Leased Properties from Lessor, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:

ARTICLE I - LEASE

1.1 Lease. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, the Leased Properties. The Leased Properties are leased subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters affecting the Leased Property, whether or not of record, including the Permitted Encumbrances and other matters which would be disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Leased Properties.

1.1.1 Subleases. On the Commencement Date, with the approval of Lessor, the Leased Properties are subleased to the Sublessees pursuant to the Subleases. Lessee hereby assigns the Subleases to Lessor and each Sublessee has jointly and severally with the other Sublessee guaranteed the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, and to secure its guaranty each Sublessee has granted Lessor a security interest in the Collateral owned by it. Lessee shall not amend or modify the terms of any Sublease without the prior written consent of Lessor, which Lessor may in its sole discretion grant, withhold or condition. Any Notice given by Lessor to Lessee shall be deemed a Notice given to each Sublessee of a Leased Property.

1.1.2 Single, Indivisible Lease. Notwithstanding Lessor’s approval of the Subleases of the Leased Properties, this Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Leased Properties and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The Leased Properties constitute one economic unit, and the Base Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based on a demise of all of the Leased Properties to Lessee as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Lease apply equally and uniformly to all of the Leased Properties as one unit. An Event of Default with respect to any Leased Property is an Event of Default as to all of the Leased Properties. The parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Properties and, in particular but without limitation, that, for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. 365, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Leased Properties.

1.2 Term. The initial term of this Lease ("Initial Term") shall be ten (10) Lease Years. The Initial Term shall commence on the Commencement Date with respect to all Facilities other than the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility. The Initial Term shall commence as to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commencement Date; provided, however, that the Initial Term shall expire as to all Facilities on the same date.

1.3 Option to Renew. Lessee is hereby granted four (4) successive options to renew this Lease for a period of five (5) Lease Years each, for a maximum Term if such options are exercised of thirty (30) Lease Years. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s options to renew this Lease are subject to the following terms and conditions (which conditions may be waived by Lessor in its sole discretion):

(a) An option to renew is exercisable only by Notice to Lessor at least two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term (or prior to the expiration of the preceding Renewal Term, as the case may be);

(b) No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either at the time a renewal option is exercised or at the commencement of a Renewal Term;

(d) Lessee may exercise its options to renew with respect to all (and no fewer than all) of the Leased Properties.

ARTICLE II - DEFINITIONS

For all purposes of this Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, (a) the terms defined in this Article have the meanings assigned to them in this Article and include the plural as well as the singular; (b) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with GAAP as at the time applicable; (c) all references in this Lease to designated "Articles," "Sections" and other subdivisions are to the designated Articles, Sections and other subdivisions of this Lease; and (d) the words "herein," "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Lease as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.

If the CPI does not increase (or if it decreases) from one Lease Year to the next, the Base Rent will not increase during such next Lease Year.

While the Lessor and Lessee anticipate that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commencement Date will occur prior to the end of the first Lease Year, if the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commencement Date occurs after the end of the first Lease Year, then Lessor and Lessee agree to amend the definition of Base Rent at the time of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commencement Date to increase the annual Base Rent by an amount equal to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) multiplied by the Capitalization Rate.

Upon such determination, the Base Rent shall be adjusted retroactively as of the effective date of such adjustment. On or before the second (2^nd) payment date for Base Rent following receipt by Lessee of Lessor’s Notice of the adjustment, Lessee shall make an additional payment of Base Rent in such amount as will bring the Base Rent, as adjusted, current on or before such second (2^nd) payment date, and thereafter Lessee shall pay the adjusted Base Rent in correspondingly adjusted monthly installments until the Base Rent is next adjusted or reset as required under this Lease.

9.1.1 Lessee, at its expense, will keep the Leased Properties, and all appurtenant landscaping, private roadways, sidewalks and curbs that are under ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s control and Lessee’s Personal Property in good order and repair, whether or not the need for such repairs arises out of Lessee’s use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or any cause whatsoever except the act or negligence of Lessor, and with reasonable promptness shall make all necessary and appropriate repairs thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the Commencement Date (concealed or otherwise). Lessee shall maintain, operate and otherwise manage the Leased Properties at all times on a basis and in a manner consistent with the standards of the highest quality comparable facilities in the market areas served by the Leased Properties. All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably achievable, be at least equivalent in quality to the original work or the property to be repaired shall be replaced. Lessee will not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which might materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Properties or any parts thereof for the Primary Intended Use.

9.1.2 Lessor shall not under any circumstances be required to maintain, build or rebuild any improvements on the Leased Properties (or any private roadways, sidewalks or curbs appurtenant thereto), or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Properties, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or upon any adjoining property, whether to provide lateral or other support or ▇▇▇▇▇ a nuisance, or otherwise, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, in connection with this Lease; provided however, that Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole cost and expense to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to the foregoing actions. Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any law in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease or hereafter enacted.

9.1.3 Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as (a) constituting the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialmen or vendor to or for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to any Leased Property or any part thereof, or (b) giving Lessee any right, power or permission to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Lessor in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor in the Leased Properties or any portion thereof. Lessor shall have the right to give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of non-responsibility under any mechanics’ and construction lien laws now or hereafter existing.

9.1.4 Lessee promptly shall replace any of the Leased Improvements or Lessor’s Personal Property that becomes worn out, obsolete or unusable or unavailable for the purpose for which intended.

Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s request, Lessee promptly shall execute and deliver to Lessor a bill of sale or other instrument establishing Lessor’s lien-free ownership of such replacements. Lessee promptly shall repair all damage to a Leased Property incurred in the course of such replacement.

9.1.5 Lessee will, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, vacate and surrender the Leased Properties to Lessor in the condition in which they were originally received from Lessor, in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease.

9.2 Encroachments, Restrictions, etc. If, at any time, any of the Leased Improvements are alleged to encroach upon any property, street or right of way adjacent to a Leased Property, or to violate any restrictive covenant, or to impair the rights of others under any easement or right of way, Lessee promptly shall settle such allegations or take such other lawful action as may be necessary in order to be able to continue the use of a Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and to the extent such Leased Property was being used at the time of the assertion of such violation, impairment or encroachment; provided, however, that no such action shall violate any other provision of this Lease, and any alteration of a Leased Property must be made in conformity with the applicable requirements of ARTICLE X. Lessee shall not have any claim against Lessor or offset against any of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease with respect to any such violation, impairment or encroachment.

10.1 Construction of Alterations and Additions to the Leased Properties.

10.1.1 Lessee shall not (a) make or permit to be made any structural alterations, improvements or additions of or to the Leased Properties or any part thereof, or (b) materially alter the plumbing, HVAC or electrical systems thereon or (c) make any other alterations, improvements or additions the cost of which exceeds (i) Fifty Thousand ($50,000.00) Dollars per alteration, improvement or addition, or (ii) One Hundred Fifty Thousand ($150,000.00) Dollars in any Lease Year, unless and until Lessee has (x) caused complete plans and specifications therefor to have been prepared by a licensed architect and submitted to Lessor at least sixty (60) Business Days before the planned start of construction thereof, (y) obtained Lessor’s written approval thereof and (z), if required to do so by Lessor, provided Lessor with reasonable assurance of the payment of the cost of any such alterations, improvements or additions, in the form of a bond, letter of credit or cash deposit. If Lessor requires a deposit, Lessor shall retain and disburse the amount deposited in the same manner as is provided for insurance proceeds in Section 14.6. If the deposit is reasonably determined by Lessor at any time to be insufficient for the completion of the alteration, improvement or addition, Lessee immediately shall increase the deposit to the amount reasonably required by Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for the completion of such improvements in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Lessor, and promptly shall correct any failure with respect thereto.

10.1.2 Alterations and improvements not falling within the categories described in the first sentence of Section 10.1.1 may be made by Lessee without the prior approval of Lessor, but Lessee shall give Lessor at least thirty (30) days prior written Notice of any such alterations and improvements; provided, however, that no prior Notice shall be required with respect to alterations and improvements (other than Section 10.1.1 alterations or improvements) reasonably required for the routine maintenance and repair of the Leased Properties.

10.1.3 All alterations, improvements and additions shall (a) be constructed in a first class, workmanlike, manner, in compliance with all Insurance Requirements and Legal Requirements, (b) be in keeping with the character of the Leased Properties and the area in which the Leased Property in question is located and (c) be designed and constructed so that the value of the Leased Properties will not be diminished and the Primary Intended Use of the Leased Properties will not be changed. All improvements, alterations and additions immediately shall become a part of the Leased Properties.

10.1.4 Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor at any time in respect of the cost or value of any improvement, alteration or addition. There shall be no adjustment in the Rent by reason of any such improvement, alteration or addition. With ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent, expenditures made by Lessee pursuant to this ARTICLE X may be included as capital expenditures for purposes of inclusion in the capital expenditures budget for the Facilities and for measuring compliance with the obligations of Lessee set forth in Section 8.4 of this Lease.

10.1.5 In connection with any alteration that involves the removal, demolition or disturbance of any asbestos-containing material, Lessee shall cause to be prepared at its expense a full asbestos assessment applicable to such alteration and shall carry out such asbestos monitoring and maintenance program as reasonably shall be required thereafter in light of the results of such assessment.

ARTICLE XI - LIENS

11.1 Liens. Without the consent of Lessor or as expressly permitted elsewhere herein, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain and will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Properties, and any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, except for (a) Permitted Encumbrances, (b) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums not yet due, (c) liens created by the malfeasance or negligence of Lessor, and (d) inchoate liens for amounts not yet due and payable.

ARTICLE XII - PERMITTED CONTESTS AND DEPOSITS

12.1 Permitted Contests. Lessee, on its own or on Lessor’s behalf (or in Lessor’s name), but at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to contest, by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity of any real or personal property assessment, Imposition, Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim or any encroachment or restriction burdening the Leased Property, provided: (a) prior Notice of such contest is given to Lessor; (b) the Leased Properties would not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or attached as a result of such contest, and there is no risk to Lessor of a loss of or interruption in the payment of Rent; (c) in the case of an unpaid Imposition or other lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, collection thereof is suspended during the pendency of such contest; (d) in the case of a contest of a Legal Requirement, compliance may legally be delayed pending such contest and pending such contest no license, permit, approval, certificate of need, certificate of reimbursement or other authorization necessary to operate any Facility as a provider of health care services in accordance with its Primary Intended Use may be irrevocably suspended or revoked, or its right to so operate a Facility or to accept patients irrevocably suspended. Upon the reasonable request of Lessor, Lessee shall deposit funds or assure ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in some other manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that the amount to be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that is the subject of a contested Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement or Claim, together with interest and penalties, if any, thereon, and any and all costs for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is responsible will be paid if and when required upon the conclusion of such contest. Lessee shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Lessor from all costs or expenses arising out of or in connection with any such contest, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees. If at any time Lessor reasonably determines that payment of any Imposition or other lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, or compliance with any Legal or Insurance Requirement being contested by Lessee is necessary in order to prevent loss of any of the Leased Properties or Rent or civil or criminal penalties or other damage (including revocation or suspension of any license, permit, approval, certificate of need, certificate of reimbursement or other authorization necessary to operate any Facility as a provider of health care services in accordance with its Primary Intended Use or suspension of any right to accept patients), upon such prior Notice to Lessee as is reasonable in the circumstances Lessor may pay such amount, require Lessee to comply with such Legal or Insurance Requirement or take such other action as it may deem necessary to prevent such loss or damage. If reasonably necessary, upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s expense, shall cooperate with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in a permitted contest, provided ▇▇▇▇▇▇ upon demand makes arrangements satisfactory to Lessor to assure the reimbursement of any and all Lessor’s costs incurred in cooperating with Lessee in such contest.

12.2 Lessor’s Requirement for Deposits. After the occurrence of an Event of Default and while it continues, upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor monthly, at the time of its payments of Base Rent, a pro rata portion of the amounts required to comply with Insurance Requirements, Impositions, Legal Requirements and Lessee’s obligations under Section 8.4 of this Lease, and when such obligations become due, Lessor shall pay them (to the extent of the deposit) upon Notice from Lessee requesting such payment. If sufficient funds have not been deposited to cover the amount of the obligations due at least thirty (30) days in advance of the due date, Lessee immediately shall deposit the same with Lessor upon Notice from Lessor. Lessor shall not be obligated to segregate such deposited funds from its other funds or to pay Lessee any interest on any deposit held by Lessor. Upon an Event of Default, any of the funds remaining on deposit may be applied under this Lease in any manner and in such priority as Lessor may determine in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE XIII - INSURANCE

13.1 General Insurance Requirements. Lessee shall keep the Leased Properties, and all property located in or on the Leased Properties, including Lessor’s Personal Property and Lessee’s Personal Property, insured with insurance meeting the following requirements: (a) all insurance shall be written by companies authorized to do insurance business in the applicable States and having a rating classification of not less than A- and a financial size category of "Class X", according to the then most recent issue of Best’s Key Rating Guide; (b) all policies must name Lessor as an additional insured, and name as an additional insured any Facility Mortgagee by way of a standard form of mortgagee’s loss payable endorsement in use in the applicable States. However, if requested by Lessor and available on a commercially reasonable basis, all public liability and property damage insurance shall contain a provision that Lessor, although named as an insured, nevertheless shall be entitled to recovery for loss, damage or injury to Lessor, its servants, agents and employees by reason of the negligence of Lessee or Lessor; (c) losses must be payable to Lessor or Lessee as provided in Article XIV, and loss adjustments shall require the written consent of Lessor, any Facility Mortgagee and, provided it is not then in default, Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by either Lessor or Lessee; (d) each insurer must agree that it will give Lessor and any Facility Mortgagee at least sixty (60) days’ written Notice before its policy shall be altered, allowed to expire or canceled; (e) the amount of any deductible or retention must be approved by Lessor prior to the issuance of any policy; and (f) the form of all policies shall be approved by Lessor, whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld. Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE XIII to the contrary, Lessor consents to Lessee insuring the coverages required by Sections 13.2.4 and 13.2.5 through a pure captive owned by the Lessee and the Sublessees, which insurance capitve may not meet the AmBest rating requirement set forth in this Section, provided that the insurance coverages otherwise comply with this ARTICLE XIII.

13.2.5 Claims arising out of malpractice with a combined single limit per occurrence of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), and an aggregate limitation of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) and, if written on a "claims-made" basis, Lessee also shall provide continuous liability coverage for claims arising during the Term by obtaining "tail" insurance coverage converting the policies to "occurrence" basis policies providing coverage for a period of at least three (3) years beyond the expiration of the Term;

13.2.6 Flood (with respect to any portions of the Leased Properties located in whole or in part within a designated flood plain area) and such other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the area;

13.2.9 Loss or damage commonly covered by blanket crime insurance including dishonesty, loss of money orders or paper currency and depositor’s forgery, with a limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

13.3 Payment of Premiums; Copies of Policies; Certificates. Subject to Section 12.2 of this Lease, Lessee shall pay when due all of the premiums for the insurance required by this Lease, and shall deliver to Lessor and to any Facility Mortgagee requesting such evidence, certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lessor and such Facility Mortgagee. Copies of the policies of insurance required by this Lease and certificates thereof shall be delivered to Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the failure of Lessee either to carry the required insurance or pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver copies of policies or certificates to Lessor as required, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to obtain such insurance and pay the premiums therefor when due, in which event Lessee shall repay to Lessor the premiums upon written demand therefor as Additional Charges.

13.4 Umbrella Policies. If Lessee chooses to carry umbrella liability coverage to obtain the limits of liability required under this Lease, the umbrella policies must provide coverage in the same manner as the primary commercial general liability policy and must contain no exclusions in addition to, or limitations materially different than, those of the primary policy.

13.5 Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above, Lessee shall at all times comply with all Legal Requirements with respect to worker’s compensation insurance coverage.

13.6 No Liability; Waiver of Subrogation. Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee, and, provided Lessee provides the insurance required of it by this Lease, Lessee shall have no liability to Lessor, regardless of the cause, for any loss or expense resulting from or in connection with damage to or the destruction or other loss of any Leased Property or ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Personal Property, and neither party will have any right or claim against the other for any such loss or expense by way of subrogation. Each insurance policy carried by either party covering any of the Leased Properties and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Personal Property, including without limitation, contents, fire and casualty insurance, shall contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation on the part of the insurer against the other party. Lessee shall pay any additional costs or charges for obtaining such waiver.

13.7 Increase in Limits. If from time to time Lessor determines, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the limits of the personal injury or property damage - public liability insurance then being carried are insufficient, upon Notice from Lessor Lessee shall cause such limits to be increased to the level specified in such Notice until further increase pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

13.8 Blanket Policy. Any insurance required by this Lease may be provided by so-called blanket policies of insurance carried by ▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that the coverage afforded Lessor thereby may not be less than or materially different from that which would be provided by separate policies meeting the requirements of this Lease.

13.9 No Separate Insurance.

13.9.1 Lessee shall not, on its own initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any third party, take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Lease, to be furnished by, or that may reasonably be required to be furnished by, Lessee, or increase the amount of any then existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including in all cases Lessor and all Facility Mortgagees, are named therein as additional insureds, and losses are payable thereunder in the same manner as losses are payable under this Lease.

13.9.2 Nothing herein shall prohibit Lessee, upon Notice to Lessor, from (a) securing insurance required to be carried hereby with higher limits of liability than required in this Lease, or (b) securing insurance against risks not required to be insured pursuant to this Lease, and as to such insurance, Lessor and any Facility Mortgagee need not be included therein as additional insureds, nor must losses thereunder be payable in the same manner as losses are payable under this Lease.

13.10 Mine Subsidence Insurance. If mine subsidence insurance is available with respect to one or more of the Facilities from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, or any other state or federal program, then Lessee shall acquire such insurance with respect to such Facility or Facilities and, to the extent available, will have Lessor named as an insured or additional insured. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has informed Lessor that the Facility commonly known as Jefferson Hills Manor in Allegeheny County, Pennsylvania is eligible for such insurance and that Lessee has acquired such coverage.

ARTICLE XIV - CASUALTY

14.1 Insurance Proceeds. Net Proceeds shall be paid to Lessor and held, disbursed or retained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as provided herein. If the Net Proceeds are less than the Approval Threshold, and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall pay the Net Proceeds to Lessee promptly upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s commencement of the restoration of the damaged or destroyed Leased Property. If the Net Proceeds equal or exceed the Approval Threshold, and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Net Proceeds shall be made available for restoration or repair as provided in Section 14.6. Within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the Net Proceeds of Special Risk Insurance, Lessor and Lessee shall agree as to the portion thereof, if any, attributable to the Lessee’s Personal Property that Lessee is not required and does not elect to restore or replace, and if they cannot agree they shall submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to ARTICLE XXVIII hereof, and the portion of the proceeds of such Special Risk Insurance agreed or determined by arbitration to be attributable to the Lessee’s Personal Property that Lessee is not required and does not elect to restore or replace shall be paid to Lessee.

Regardless of the anticipated cost thereof, if the restoration of a Leased Property requires any modification of structural elements, prior to commencing such modification Lessee shall obtain Lessor’s written approval of the plans and specifications therefor.

14.3 Restoration of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Property. If Lessee is required to restore a Leased Property, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ also concurrently shall restore any of Lessee’s Personal Property that is integral to the Primary Intended Use of such Leased Property at the time of the damage or destruction.

14.4 No Abatement of Rent. There shall be no abatement of Rent by reason of any damage to or the partial or total destruction of any Leased Property.

14.5 Waiver. Except as provided elsewhere in this Lease, Lessee hereby waives any statutory or common law rights of termination that may arise by reason of any damage to or destruction of a Leased Property.

14.6 Disbursement of Insurance Proceeds Equal to or Greater Than The Approval Threshold. If Lessee restores or repairs a Leased Property pursuant to this ARTICLE XIV, and if the Net Proceeds equal or exceed the Approval Threshold, the restoration or repair and disbursement of funds to Lessee shall be in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) The restoration or repair work shall be done pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Lessor and a certified construction cost statement, to be obtained by Lessee from a contractor reasonably acceptable to Lessor, showing the total cost of the restoration or repair; to the extent the cost exceeds the Net Proceeds, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the amount of the excess cost, and Lessor shall disburse the funds so deposited in payment of the costs of restoration or repair before any disbursement of Net Proceeds.

(b) Construction Funds shall be made available, subject to a ten percent (10%) holdback, to Lessee upon request, but no more frequently than monthly, as the restoration and repair work progresses pursuant to certificates, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor, of an architect selected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and reasonably acceptable to Lessor (such architect to be, in the reasonable judgment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, highly qualified in the design and construction of the type of facility being repaired).

(c) After the first disbursement to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, sworn statements and lien waivers in an amount at least equal to the amount of Construction Funds previously paid to Lessee shall be delivered to Lessor from all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers covering all labor and materials furnished through the date of the previous disbursement.

(d) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor such other evidence as Lessor reasonably may request, from time to time during the course of the restoration and repair, as to the progress of the work, compliance with the approved plans and specifications, the cost of restoration and repair and the total amount needed to complete the restoration and repair, and showing that there are no liens against the Leased Property arising in connection with the restoration and repair and that the cost of the restoration and repair at least equals the total amount of Construction Funds then disbursed to Lessee hereunder.

(e) If the Construction Funds are at any time determined by Lessor to be inadequate for payment in full of all labor and materials for the restoration and repair, Lessee immediately shall pay the amount of the deficiency to Lessor to be held and disbursed as Construction Funds prior to the disbursement of any other Construction Funds then held by Lessor.

(f) The Construction Funds may be disbursed by Lessor to Lessee or to the persons entitled to receive payment thereof from Lessee, and such disbursement in either case may be made directly or through a third party escrow agent, such as, but not limited to, a title insurance company, or its agent, all as Lessor may determine in its sole discretion. Provided Lessee is not in default hereunder, any excess Construction Funds shall be paid to Lessee upon completion of the restoration or repair.

(g) If Lessee at any time fails to perform promptly and fully the conditions and covenants set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (f) above, and the failure is not corrected within ten (10) days of written Notice thereof, or if during the restoration or repair an Event of Default occurs, Lessor may, at its option, immediately cease making any further payments to Lessee for the restoration and repair.

(h) Lessor may reimburse itself out of the Construction Funds for its reasonable expenses incurred in administering the Construction Funds and inspecting the restoration and repair work, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and escrow fees and expenses.

14.7 Net Proceeds Paid to Facility Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if any Facility Mortgagee is entitled to any Net Proceeds or any portion thereof under the terms of any Facility Mortgage, the Net Proceeds shall be applied, held and/or disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Facility Mortgage. Lessor shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Net Proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the Leased Property. If the Facility Mortgagee elects to apply the Net Proceeds to the indebtedness secured by the Facility Mortgage and the Net Proceeds would otherwise be available pursuant to this Article XIV for restoration of the affected Facility, Lessee may elect to (a) restore the affected Facility as nearly as possible under the circumstances to a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition as that of the Facility existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction or (b) if no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, terminate this Lease as to such Facility by delivery of written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days of the date the Facility Mortgagee elects to apply the Net Proceeds to the indebtedness secured by the Facility Mortgage. In any such circumstance where Lessee elects to terminate the Lease as to the affected Facility pursuant to this Section, Lessor may, at its option, within thirty (30) days of Lessee’s election to so terminate make available to Lessee pursuant to the same terms as set forth in this ARTICLE XIV funds equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of funds Lessor would be obligated to make available to Lessee for such restoration pursuant to this ARTICLE XIV if the Facility Mortgagee had not so applied such funds and (y) the amount of such funds so applied by the Facility Mortgagee. If Lessor does make such funds available to Lessee as provided for in this Section, the Lease shall not terminate with respect to the affected Facility. If the Lessor does not elect to make such funds available to Lessee within such thirty (30) day period, the Lease shall terminate with respect to the affected Facility on the thirtieth (30^th) day following the last day of such thirty (30) day period. If this Lease is so terminated as to a Facility pursuant to this Section, (a) Lessee may purchase the Facility at its Fair Market Value as of the termination date (i.e., after the casualty) within sixty (60) days of the termination date (with delivery of documents consistent with the documents which would be delivered in connection the option set forth in Section 30.1) and (b) the annual Base Rent shall be reduced as of the termination date for such Facility by an amount equal to (i) the sum of (x) the purchase price paid by Lessee to Lessor for the Facility and (y) amount of Net Proceeds applied to the indebtedness secured by the Facility Mortgage, multiplied by (ii) the Capitalization Rate (for example, if (i) the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section as to a Facility, (ii) the Net Proceeds applied by the Facility Mortgagee equal Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), and (iii) the purchase price paid to Lessor by Lessee equals One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), then the annual Base Rent would be reduced by Two Hundred Fifteen Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars (($2,000,000 + $100,000) x 10.25% = $215,250).)

ARTICLE XV - TAKINGS

15.1 Total Taking or Other Taking with Leased Property Rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use. If title to the fee of the whole of a Leased Property is Taken, this Lease shall cease and terminate as to the Leased Property Taken as of the Date of Taking by the Condemnor, and Rent shall be apportioned as of the termination date. If title to the fee of less than the whole of a Leased Property is Taken, but such Leased Property is rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use as a result of the Partial Taking, each of Lessee and Lessor shall have the option, which shall be exercisable by written Notice to the other at any time prior to the first to occur of the taking of possession by, or the date of vesting of title in, the Condemnor, to terminate this Lease with respect to such Leased Property as of the date so determined, in which event this Lease shall so cease and terminate with respect to that Leased Property as of the earlier of the date specified in the Notice or the date on which possession is taken by the Condemnor.

Any Award made for the taking of Lessee’s Personal Property that is not integral to the Primary Intended Use of the Facilities, or for removal and relocation expenses of Lessee in any such proceedings, shall be payable to Lessee. Any Award made for the taking of Lessee’s Personal Property that is integral to the Primary Intended Use of the Facilities shall payable to Lessor or, if so provided in a Facility Mortgage, to the Facility Mortgagee. In any proceedings with respect to an Award, each of Lessor and Lessee shall seek its own Award in conformity herewith, at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may pursue a claim for loss of its business, provided that under the laws of the State, such claim will not diminish the Award to Lessor.

15.3 Partial Taking. In the event of a Partial Taking, Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall, within sixty (60) days of the first to occur of the taking of possession by, or the date of vesting of title in, the Condemnor, commence the restoration of the affected Leased Property to a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as existed immediately prior to the Partial Taking, and complete such restoration with all reasonable dispatch, but in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date on which such Notice is given. Lessor shall contribute to the cost of restoration only such portion of the Award as is made therefor. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if such portion of the Award is in an amount less than the Approval Threshold, Lessor shall pay the same to Lessee upon completion of such restoration. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if such portion of the Award is in an amount equal to or greater than the Approval Threshold, Lessor shall make such portion of the Award available to Lessee in the manner provided in Section 14.6 with respect to Net Proceeds in excess of the Approval Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if the Fair Market Rent of the affected Leased Property is reduced by reason of the Partial Taking, from and after the date on which possession is taken by the Condemnor the annualized Base Rent shall be reduced by an amount determined by dividing the portion of the Award made to Lessor expressly for such reduction in Fair Market Rent by the Capitalization Rate.

15.4 Temporary Taking. If there is a Partial Taking of possession or the use of all or part of a Leased Property, but the fee of such Leased Property is not Taken in whole or in part, until such Partial Taking of possession or use continues for more than six (6) months, all the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the entire amount of any Award made for such Partial Taking shall be paid to Lessee provided there is then no Event of Default. Upon the termination of any such period of temporary use or occupancy, Lessee at its sole cost and expense shall restore the affected Leased Property, as nearly as may be reasonably possible, to the condition existing immediately prior to such Partial Taking. If any such Partial Taking continues for longer than six (6) months, and fifty percent (50%) or more of the patient capacity of the affected Facility is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Use, this Lease shall cease and terminate as to the affected Leased Property only as of the last day of the sixth (6^th) month, but if less than fifty percent (50%) of the patient capacity of such Facility is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Use, each of Lessee and Lessor shall have the option, which shall be exercisable by giving written Notice to the other at least sixty (60) days prior written Notice to the other, at any time prior to the end of the temporary Partial Taking, to terminate this Lease as to the affected Leased Property of the date set forth in such Notice, and Lessee shall be entitled to any Award made for the period of such temporary Partial Taking prior to the date of termination of the Lease. Rent shall not ▇▇▇▇▇ during the period of any temporary Partial Taking.

15.5 Awards Paid to Facility Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Facility Mortgagee is entitled to any Award or any portion thereof under the terms of any Facility Mortgage, such Award shall be applied, held and/or disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Facility Mortgage. If the Facility Mortgagee elects to apply the Net Proceeds to the indebtedness secured by the Facility Mortgage and the Award represents an Award for Partial Taking as described in Section 15.3 above, Lessee may elect to (a) restore the affected Facility as nearly as possible under the circumstances to a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition as that of the Facility existing immediately prior to such Partial Taking or (b) if no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, terminate this Lease as to such Facility by delivery of written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days of the date the Facility Mortgagee elects to apply the Award to the indebtedness secured by the Facility Mortgage. In any such circumstance where Lessee elects to terminate the Lease as to the affected Facility pursuant to this Section, Lessor may, at its option, within thirty (30) days of Lessee’s election to so terminate make available to Lessee pursuant to the same terms as set forth in this ARTICLE XV funds equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of funds Lessor would be obligated to make available to Lessee for such restoration pursuant to this ARTICLE XV if the Facility Mortgagee had not so applied such funds and (y) the amount of the Award so applied by the Facility Mortgagee. If Lessor does make such funds available to Lessee as provided for in this Section, the Lease shall not terminate with respect to the affected Facility. If the Lessor does not elect to make such funds available to Lessee within such thirty (30) day period, the Lease shall terminate with respect to the affected Facility on the thirtieth (30^th) day following the last day of such thirty (30) day period. If this Lease is so terminated as to a Facility pursuant to this Section, (a) Lessee may purchase the Facility at its Fair Market Value as of the termination date (i.e., after the Partial Taking) within sixty (60) days of the termination date (with delivery of documents consist with the documents which would be delivered in connection with the option set forth in Section 30.1) and (b) the annual Base Rent shall be reduced as of the termination date for such Facility by an amount equal to (i) the sum of (x) the purchase price paid by Lessee to Lessor for the Facility and (y) amount of the Award applied to the indebtedness secured by the Facility Mortgage, multiplied by (ii) the Capitalization Rate (for example, if (i) the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section as to a Facility, (ii) the Award applied by the Facility Mortgagee equals Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), and (iii) the purchase price paid to Lessor by Lessee equals One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), then the annual Base Rent would be reduced by Two Hundred Fifteen Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars (($2,000,000 + $100,000) x 10.25% = $215,250).)

ARTICLE XVI - RIGHTS UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

16.1 Lessor’s Rights Upon an Event of Default. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Lessor may terminate this Lease by giving Lessee a Notice of Termination, and in such event the Term shall end and all rights of Lessee under this Lease shall cease on the Termination Date. The Notice of Termination shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required by the laws of any State as a condition to bringing an action for possession of the Leased Premises or to recover damages under this Lease. In addition to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to terminate this Lease, Lessor shall have all other rights set forth in this Lease and all remedies available at law and in equity. Lessee shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay as Additional Charges all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lessor, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (whether or not litigation is commenced, and if litigation is commenced, including fees and expenses incurred in appeals and post-judgment proceedings) as a result of any default of Lessee under this Lease. No Event of Default (other than a failure to make payment of Rent as and when due) shall be deemed to exist if and for so long as Lessee is unable to prevent such Event of Default because of Force Majeure, provided that, upon the cessation of the Force Majeure, Lessee immediately shall proceed to remedy the action or condition giving rise to the Event of Default within the applicable cure period as extended by the Force Majeure.

16.2 Certain Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and while it continues, whether or not this Lease has been terminated pursuant to Section 16.1 or otherwise, if required to do so by Lessor Lessee immediately shall surrender the Leased Properties to Lessor in the condition required by Section 9.1.5 and quit the same, and Lessor may enter upon and repossess the Leased Properties by reasonable force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Lessee and all other persons and any and all personal properties from the Leased Properties, subject to rights of any residents or patients and to any Legal Requirements. In addition to all other remedies set forth or referred to in this ARTICLE XVI, Lessor shall have the right to suspend any Management Agreement as to one or more or all Facilities and to retain a manager of the affected Facility or all Facilities at the expense of Lessee, such manager to serve for such term and at such compensation as Lessor reasonably determines is necessary under the circumstances.

16.3 Damages. None of (a) the termination of this Lease after the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 16.1 or otherwise, (b) the repossession of the Leased Properties, (c) the failure of Lessor to relet the Leased Properties, (d) the reletting of all or any portion thereof, or (v) the failure of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals due upon such any reletting, shall relieve Lessee of its liability and obligations under this Lease, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. If this Lease is terminated by Lessor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ immediately shall pay to Lessor all Rent due and payable with respect to the Leased Properties to and including the Termination Date, including without limitation all interest and late charges payable under Section 3.3 of this Lease with respect to any late payment of such Rent. Lessee also shall pay to Lessor, as liquidated damages, at Lessor’s option, either:

(A) The sum of:

(i) Lessor’s Interim Rent Loss, minus Net Reletting Proceeds for the period from the Termination Date through the Judgment Date, and minus the portion of Lessor’s Interim Rent Loss, if any, that Lessee proves reasonably could have been mitigated by Lessor, plus

(ii) the Present Value on the Judgment Date of Lessor’s Future Rent Loss, assuming the Cost of Living Index were to increase one and one quarter (1.25) percentage points per Lease Year from the Judgment Date through the Expiration Date, minus the Present Value on the Termination Date of the portion of Lessor’s Future Rent Loss that Lessee proves reasonably could be mitigated by Lessor;

(B) Each month between the Termination Date and the Expiration Date, Lessor’s Monthly Rent Loss, minus the Net Reletting Proceeds for such month, and minus the portion, if any, of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Monthly Rent Loss that Lessee proves reasonably could have been avoided. Any suit brought to recover liquidated damages payable under this subsection (B) shall not prejudice Lessor’s right to collect liquidated damages for subsequent months in a similar proceeding.

16.4 Waiver. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any right of reentry, repossession or redesignation, (b) any right to a trial by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Lease, and (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt. Acceptance of Rent at any time does not prejudice or remove any right of Lessor as to any right or remedy. No course of conduct shall be held to bar Lessor from literal enforcement of the terms of this Lease.

16.5 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Lessor under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default shall be applied to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations in the order that Lessor determines in its sole discretion or as may be prescribed by law.

16.6 Bankruptcy.

(a) None of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest in this Lease, any estate hereby created in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest or any interest herein or therein shall pass to any trustee or receiver or assignee for the benefit of creditors or otherwise by operation of law, except as specifically may be provided pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (11 USC § 101 et. seq.), as the same may be amended from time to time.

(b) Rights and Obligations Under the Bankruptcy Code.

(i) Upon filing of a petition by or against Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code, Lessee, as debtor and as debtor-in-possession, and any trustee who may be appointed with respect to the assets of or estate in bankruptcy of Lessee, agree to pay monthly in advance, on the first day of each month, as reasonable compensation for the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, an amount equal to all Rent due pursuant to this Lease.

(ii) Included within and in addition to any other conditions or obligations imposed upon Lessee or its successor in the event of the assumption and/or assignment of the Lease are the following: (A) the cure of any monetary defaults and reimbursement of pecuniary loss within not more than thirty (30) days of the assumption and/or assignment; (B) the deposit of an additional amount equal to not less than three (3) months’ Base Rent, which amount is agreed to be a necessary and appropriate deposit to secure the future performance under the Lease of Lessee or its assignee; (C) the continued use of the Leased Premises for the Primary Intended Use; and (D) the prior written consent of any Facility Mortgagee.

ARTICLE XVII - CURE BY ▇▇▇▇▇▇

17.1 Lessor’s Right to Cure ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Default. If Lessee fails to make any payment or perform any act required to be made or performed under this Lease, and fails to cure the same within any grace or cure period applicable thereto, upon such Notice as may be expressly required herein (or, if Lessor reasonably determines that the giving of Notice would risk loss to the Leased Properties or cause damage to Lessor, upon such Notice as is practical under the circumstances), and without waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessee, Lessor may make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Properties for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lessor’s sole opinion, may be necessary or appropriate. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All amounts so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with the late charge and interest provided for in Section 3.3 thereon, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand. The obligations of Lessee and rights of Lessor contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE XVIII - HOLDING OVER

18.1 Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of all or any of the Leased Properties after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, such possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant, and throughout the period of such possession Lessee shall pay as Rent for each month two (2) times the sum of: (a) one-twelfth (1/12^th) of the Base Rent payable during the Lease Year in which such expiration or termination occurs, plus (b) all Additional Charges accruing during the month, plus (c) any and all other sums payable by Lessee pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that if Lessee is holding over at the request of Lessor or because Lessor has been unable to find a replacement operator, then Lessee shall only be required to pay as Rent for each month one (1) times such sum. During such period of month-to-month tenancy, Lessee shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by applicable law to month-to-month tenancies, to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Properties until the month-to-month tenancy is terminated. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

18.2 Indemnity. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to surrender the Leased Properties in a timely manner and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1.5 upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Lessor accruing therefrom, Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold Lessor, its principals, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from loss or liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, loss of rental with respect to any new lease in which the rental payable thereunder exceeds the Rent paid by Lessee pursuant to this Lease during ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s hold-over and any claims by any proposed new tenant founded on such failure. The provisions of this Section 18.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

ARTICLE XIX - SUBORDINATION

19.1 Subordination. Upon the election of a Facility Mortgagee, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Facility Mortgage, to all advances made or hereafter to be made thereunder and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and substitutions therefore; provided, however, that before any subordination pursuant to this Section 19.1 shall be effective, Lessor shall cause any holder of a Facility Mortgage electing to subordinate this Lease to such mortgagee’s security interest, to deliver to Lessee a "non disturbance agreement" reasonably acceptable to such Facility Mortgagee and Lessee (a "Reasonable SNDA") and providing that, if such Facility Mortgagee acquires the Leased Properties by way of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, such Facility Mortgagee will not disturb ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s possession under this Lease and will recognize ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights hereunder if and for so long as no Event of Default has occurred under this Lease and is continuing. Upon delivery of a Reasonable SNDA to Lessee by a Facility Mortgagee, this ARTICLE XIX shall be self-operative.

19.2 Attornment. If a Facility Mortgagee enforces the remedies provided for by law or by a Facility Mortgage and has delivered a Reasonable SNDA to Lessee, Lessee shall, at the option of the party succeeding to the interest of Lessor as a result of such enforcement or as a result of a deed or delivery of possession of the Leased Properties in lieu of such enforcement, attorn to such successor and recognize such successor as Lessor under this Lease; provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not (a) be bound by any payment of Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except for any such advance payments as may be expressly required by this Lease; (b) be bound by any modification of this Lease made after the delivery to Lessee of a Reasonable SNDA without the written consent of the Facility Mortgagee or successor in interest; (c) be liable for any act or omission of Lessor; or (d) be subject to any offset or defense arising prior to the date such successor in interest acquired title to the Leased Properties. Upon request, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the attornment provided for herein.

19.3 Lessee’s Certificate. Lessee shall, upon not less than ten (10) days prior Notice from Lessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor Lessee’s Certificate containing then-current facts. It is intended that any ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Certificate delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, any prospective tenant or purchaser of the Leased Properties, any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee and any other party who reasonably may rely on such statement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to deliver the Lessee’s Certificate within such time shall constitute an Event of Default. In addition, if Lessee fails to deliver the Lessee’s Certificate within the ten (10) day period referred to above, Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to execute and deliver a certificate to the effect (if true) that Lessee represents and warrants that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification, and (b) Lessor is not in breach or default of any of its obligations under this Lease.

19.4 Notice and Cure. If a Facility Mortgagee acquires title to one or more of the Leased Properties by way of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, then commencing on the date the Facility Mortgagee acquires title, the Facility Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days within which to cure any default by Lessor under this Lease existing on such date. If the defaults by Lessor are cured during such period, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Lessee shall have no right to terminate this Lease so long as the Facility Mortgagee performs all of the Lessor’s subsequent obligations under this Lease. If the Facility Mortgagee does not cure such default during such thirty (30) day period and such failure continues for an additional thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessee to the Facility Mortgagee and Lessor of such uncured defaults, then Lessee may exercise the Option pursuant to the terms of ARTICLE XXIX during the ten (10) day period commencing on the day the second thirty (30) day period expired. The foregoing rights to cure a Lessor default shall be exercisable in the sole discretion of the Facility Mortgagee, and, the Facility Mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure any default by Lessor.

ARTICLE XX - RISK OF LOSS

20.1 Risk of Loss. During the Term, the risk of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Leased Properties in consequence of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars, Force Majuere or otherwise, or in consequence of foreclosures, attachments, levies or executions (other than those caused by Lessor and those claiming from, through or under Lessor) is assumed by Lessee, and, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Lease by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessor in no event shall be answerable or accountable therefor nor shall any of the events mentioned in this Section entitle Lessee to any abatement of Rent.

ARTICLE XXI - INDEMNIFICATION

21.1 Indemnification. Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance or self-insurance provided for in ARTICLE XIII, and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance or self-insurance, Lessee shall protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessor and any Facility Mortgagee, and the principals, officers, directors and agents and employees of Lessor and of any Facility Mortgagee, from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), to the extent permitted by law, and to the extent arising out of acts, omissions, events or conditions occurring or existing on or before the later of (i) the expiration of the Term (without taking into account any early termination) and (ii) the date Lessee delivers possession to Lessor or Lessor’s designee, and imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessor or any Facility Mortgagee by reason of: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Leased Properties or adjoining sidewalks, including without limitation any claims of malpractice; (b) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance or repair by Lessee of the Leased Properties; (c) the failure to pay any Impositions; (d) any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease; (e) the management and operation of the Facilities; (f) the ownership of the Facilities by Lessor, and (g) the nonperformance of any contractual obligation, express or implied, assumed or undertaken by Lessee or any party in privity with Lessee with respect to the Leased Properties or any business or other activity carried on with respect to the Leased Properties. Any amounts that become payable by Lessee under this Section shall be paid within ten (10) days after demand by Lessor, and, if not timely paid, shall bear interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date of demand to the date of payment. Nothing herein shall be construed as indemnifying either Lessor or any Facility Mortgagee against the grossly negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Lessor, a Facility Mortgagee, or the agents, employees, licensees or invitees of Lessor or a Facility Mortgagee. Nothing herein shall be construed as indemnifying either Lessor or any Facility Mortgagee against the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Lessor, a Facility Mortgagee, or the agents, employees, licensees or invitees of Lessor or a Facility Mortgagee occurring after the date Lessee delivers possession of the Facilities to Lessor or Lessor’s designee.

21.2 Survival of Indemnification. Lessee’s liability under this Article shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE XXII - PROHIBITION AGAINST TRANSFERS

22.1 General Prohibition against Transfers. Lessee acknowledges that a significant inducement to Lessor to enter into this Lease with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on the terms set forth herein is the combination of financial strength, experience, skill and reputation possessed by Lessee, the Person or Persons in Control of Lessee and the Manager of the Facilities on the Commencement Date, together with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s assurance that Lessor shall have the unrestricted right to approve or disapprove any proposed Transfer. Therefore, there shall be no Transfer except as specifically permitted by this Lease or consented to in advance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in writing. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that Lessor shall have the right to withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer on the basis of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s judgment as to the effect the proposed Transfer may have on the Facilities and the future performance of the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease, whether or not ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees with such judgment. Any attempted Transfer that is not specifically permitted by this Lease or consented to by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in advance in writing shall be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever. In the event of a Transfer, Lessor may collect Rent and other charges from the Transferee and apply the amounts collected to the Rent and other charges herein reserved, but no Transfer or collection of Rent and other charges shall be deemed to be a waiver of Lessor’s rights to enforce ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s covenants or an acceptance of the Transferee as Lessee, or a release of the Lessee named herein from the performance of its covenants. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Lessee shall remain fully liable for the performance of all terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease. Any violation of this Lease by any Transferee shall be deemed to be a violation of this Lease by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following transfers are permitted and will not require the consent of Lessor:

(a) any transfer (whether by sale, gift, encumbrance, or otherwise) of an ownership interest in Lessee solely between the Guarantors, any Replacement Guarantors or their permitted transferees described in (b) below; provided, however, that (1) Lessee shall provide Lessor with Notice of such Transfer and such information about such Transfer as Lessor may reasonably request, and (2) such transferee shall ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ a security interest in the interest in Lessee so transferred; and

(b) (I) a Transfer upon the death of any equity owner of Lessee to his or her spouse, children, parents, heirs, lineal descendents or relatives through marriage or otherwise (or to any one or more of them); (II) the transfer, by gift or sale for estate planning purposes, by an equity owner of Lessee of all or any portion of his or her equity interest in Lessee to (A) his or her spouse, children, parents or other heirs (or to any one or more of them) upon such equity owner’s death, or (B) a revocable grantor trust of which such equity owner is the sole trustee and settlor, (C) a "Mallinckrodt" trust, (D) any trust where such equity owner or his or her spouse is the beneficiary during his or her lifetime, or either of their descendents or some combination thereof are the beneficiaries of such trust after such equity owner’s death, (E) a trust where such equity owner is the trustee of such trust, (F) a trust where the trust assets will revert back to such equity owner, (G) a trust where such equity owner, as permitted by the trust document, may regain ownership of the assets in such trust, (H) a trust where the ownership of such trust may be transferred to such equity owner or his or her spouse (or widow) or either of their descendents, (I) to a trust where such ownership in the trust may be transferred into a corporation or limited liability company of which such trust is a controlling owner of such entity, (J) a corporation or limited liability company of which a person set forth above is a controlling owner of such entity, or (K) to a "defective grantor trust" , shall be deemed a permitted Transfer under this Agreement; provided, however, that (1) Lessee shall provide Lessor with Notice of such Transfer and such information about such Transfer as Lessor may reasonably request, (2) if the transferor with respect to such Transfer is a Guarantor or a Replacement Guarantor, then such transferee shall join in (if not previously terminated pursuant to its terms) the Limited Personal Guaranty dated as of the same date as this Agreement from the Guarantors, and (3) such transferee shall ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ a security interest in the interest in Lessee so transferred.

22.2 Subordination and Attornment. Lessee shall insert in any sublease permitted by Lessor provisions to the effect that (a) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Lessor hereunder, (b) if this Lease terminates before the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Lessor’s option, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the sublessee may have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a result of the termination of this Lease, and (c) if the sublessee receives a written Notice from Lessor or ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s assignee, if any, stating that Lessee is in default under this Lease, the sublessee thereafter shall be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under the sublease directly to the party giving such Notice, or as such party may direct, and such payments shall be credited against the amounts owing by Lessee under this Lease.

22.3 Sublease Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, even if a sublease of a Leased Property is permitted, Lessee shall not sublet such Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the sublease rental received by Lessor 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. The parties agree that this Section shall not be deemed waived or modified by implication, but may be waived or modified only by an instrument in writing explicitly referring to this Section by number.

ARTICLE XXIV - QUIET ENJOYMENT

24.1 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Lessee pays all Rent as it becomes due and complies with all of the terms of this Lease and performs its obligations under this Lease and the other Transaction Documents, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Properties for the Term, free of any claim or other action by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor, but subject to all liens and encumbrances of record as of the date hereof or hereafter provided for in this Lease or consented to by Lessee. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, no failure by Lessor to comply with the foregoing covenant will give Lessee any right to cancel or terminate this Lease or ▇▇▇▇▇, reduce or make a deduction from or offset against the Rent or any other sum payable under this Lease, or to fail to perform any other obligation of Lessee. Lessee shall, however, have the right, by separate and independent action, to pursue any claim it may have against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in this Section.

ARTICLE XXVI - APPRAISAL

26.1 Appraisers. If it becomes necessary to determine Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Value for any purpose under this Lease, the party required or permitted to give Notice of such required determination shall include in the Notice the name of a person selected to act as appraiser on its behalf. Within ten (10) days after such Notice, the party receiving such Notice shall give Notice to the other party of its selection of a person to act as appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers thus appointed, each of whom must be a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor organization thereto) and experienced in appraising facilities used for purposes similar to the Primary Intended Use of the Facilities, shall, within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Notice appointing the first appraiser, proceed to appraise the Leased Property or Leased Properties, as the case may be, to determine the Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Value thereof as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation between the date of their decision and the relevant date); provided, however, that if only one appraiser has been so appointed, or if two appraisers have been so appointed but only one such appraiser has made such determination within fifty (50) days after the date of the Notice appointing the first appraiser, then the determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon Lessee. To the extent consistent with sound appraisal practice at the time of any such appraisal, such appraisal shall be made on a basis consistent with the basis on which the Leased Property or Leased Properties were appraised for purposes of determining its Fair Market Value at the time of Lessor’s acquisition thereof. If two appraisers have been appointed and have made their determinations within the respective requisite periods set forth above, and if the difference between the amounts so determined does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the greater of such amounts, then the Fair Market Rent shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the amounts so determined. If the difference between the amounts so determined exceeds ten percent (10%) of the greater of such amounts, then such two appraisers shall within twenty (20) days appoint a third appraiser. If no such appraiser is appointed within such twenty (20) days or within ninety (90) days of the date of the Notice appointing the first appraiser, whichever is earlier, either Lessor or Lessee may apply to any court having jurisdiction to have such appointment made by such court. Any appraiser appointed by the original appraisers or by such court shall be instructed to determine the Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Value within forty-five (45) days after appointment of such appraiser. The determination of the appraiser which differs most in terms of dollar amount from the determinations of the other two appraisers shall be excluded, and the average of the remaining two determinations shall be final and binding upon Lessor and Lessee as the Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Value of the Leased Property or Leased Properties, as the case may be. If the Fair Market Rent is being determined for more than one year, the Fair Market Rent may include such annual increases, if any, as the appraisers determine to be in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

26.2 Enforceability. This provision for determining by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties except as otherwise provided by applicable law, and judgment may be entered upon such determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and each shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser and one-half of all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.

ARTICLE XXVII - TRANSFER OF FACILITIES

27.1 Facility Trade Names. If this Lease is terminated after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessee shall be deemed to have assigned to Lessor the exclusive right to use the Facility Trade Names in perpetuity in the markets in which the Facilities are located, and Lessee shall not after any such termination use the Facility Trade Names in any business that competes with the Facilities.

27.2 Transfer of Operational Control of the Facilities.

27.2.1 Lessee acknowledges and agrees that, subject to applicable law, the certificates of need and licenses necessary to operate the Leased Properties for the Primary Intended Use are appurtenant to the Leased Properties, both during and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. If the certificates of need or licenses to operate the Leased Properties for the Primary Intended Use are issued to Lessee, the Sublessees or the Manager, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will cooperate with Lessor to turn over to Lessor or its designee, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, all of Lessee’s rights in connection with the certificate of need and/or licenses.

27.2.2 Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Lessee shall cooperate fully in transferring operational control of the Facilities to Lessor or Lessor’s nominee and shall use its best efforts to cause the business conducted at the Facility to continue without interruption. Upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall execute and deliver an Operations Transfer Agreement to Lessor and any new operator identified by Lessor in substantially the same form as the Operations Transfer Agreement attached as Exhibit F. The obligation of Lessee regarding the Operations Transfer Agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease. To that end, pending completion of the transfer of the operational control of the Facility to Lessor or its nominee:

(a) Lessee will provide all necessary information requested by Lessor or its nominee for the preparation and filing of any and all necessary applications or notifications of any federal or state governmental authority having jurisdiction over a change in the operational control of the Facility, and any other information reasonably required to effect an orderly transfer of the Facility, and Lessee will use its best efforts to cause all operating health care licenses to be transferred to Lessor or to Lessor’s nominee; and

(b) Lessee shall engage only in transactions or other activities with respect to the Facility that are in the ordinary course of its business and shall perform all maintenance and repairs reasonably necessary to keep the Facility in satisfactory operating condition and repair, and shall maintain the supplies and foodstuffs at levels that are consistent and in compliance with all health care regulations, and shall not sell or remove any personal property except in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease.

27.3 Intangibles and Personal Property. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, but subject to the security interest in favor of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents, Lessor’s Personal Property shall not include goodwill nor shall it include any other intangible personal property that is severable from Lessor’s "interests in real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

ARTICLE XXVIII - ARBITRATION

28.1 Arbitration. Except with respect to the payment of Rent under this Lease, the determination of Fair Market Rent (which shall be determined solely in accordance with ARTICLE XXVI), and any proceedings to recover possession of one or more of the Leased Properties, if any controversy arises between the parties hereto as to any of the provisions of this Lease or the performance thereof, and if the parties are unable to settle the controversy by agreement or as otherwise provided herein, the controversy shall be decided by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators selected in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. The decision shall set forth in writing the basis for the decision. In rendering the decision and award, the arbitrators shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease. The expense of the arbitration shall be divided between Lessor and Lessee unless otherwise specified in the award. Each party in interest shall pay the fees and expenses of its own counsel. The arbitration shall be conducted in Baltimore, Maryland. In any arbitration, the parties shall be entitled to conduct discovery in the same manner as permitted under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26 through 37, as amended. No provision in this Article shall limit the right of any party to this Agreement to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration, and the exercise of such remedies does not constitute a waiver of the right of either party to arbitration.

ARTICLE XXIX - OPTION TO PURCHASE ALL FACILITIES

29.1 Option to Purchase All Facilities. In consideration of the execution of this Lease, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the option (the "Option") to buy the Option Property (as that term is defined below) in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Article. The Option may be exercised only with respect to all of the Option Property, and may not be exercised in part or with respect to less than all the Option Property.

29.2 Option Property. The "Option Property" means all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in the Leased Properties, excluding the following items:

(a) all tradenames and trademarks related to the corporate name of Lessor and related tradenames and trademarks;

(b) cash, general intangibles (other than (i) permits, licenses, approvals and authorizations issued, granted or given for the benefit of the Facilities by or under the authority of any federal, state or local governmental or quasi-governmental agency, authority, official or tribunal that may be assigned without cost or consent and (ii) rights to payments, reimbursements, or refunds from the United States, any State, any insurer, municipality, public utility or other agency, individual or entity, including without limitation, real estate and personal property tax refunds, payments, reimbursements and deposits with respect to the Facilities, each to the extent that such rights to payments, reimbursements, refunds or deposits relate to expenses paid or services rendered by Lessee or Manager during the Term), accounts, accounts receivable, deposits (including, without limitation, bank and demand deposit accounts), insurance policies, and contract rights of the Lessor, other than any accounts, accounts receivable, deposits, policies or rights relating to expenses paid or services rendered by Lessee or Manager during the Term;

(d) rights to payments, reimbursements or refunds from the United States of America, any State, or municipality relating to income taxes paid by Lessor;

(e) all permits, licenses, approvals and authorizations issued, granted or given by or under the authority of any federal, state or local governmental or quasi-governmental agency, authority, official or tribunal which are not assignable, for which consent to assignment is not obtained, or for which an assignment will cause Lessor to incur costs (unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to bear such costs on Lessor’s behalf); and

(f) actions, suits, claims, rights and choses in action, instruments, promissory notes, and documents owned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

29.3 Exercise of Option. During the Term, Lessee may exercise the Option only during (the "Option Period") (i) the period beginning on the first day of the last Lease Year of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and ending thirty (30) days thereafter and (ii) the ten (10) day period set forth in Section 19.4; provided, however, that Lessee may not exercise the Option at any time when an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lessee shall exercise the option by delivering Notice thereof to Lessor during the Option Period, together with a non-refundable deposit in the amount of equal to ten percent (10%) of the Base Amount (the "Option Deposit"). The Option Deposit shall be deemed to be fully earned by Lessor upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt thereof, and shall only be returned to Lessee under certain circumstances as more particularly set forth below.

29.4 Option Price. If Lessee exercises its option to purchase the Option Property as set forth in this Lease, the purchase price for the Option Property (the "Purchase Price") to be paid by Lessee shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Base Amount plus (ii) 40% of the amount, if any, that (A) the Fair Market Value of the Facilities on the date of exercise of the Option exceeds (B) the Base Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be payable by Lessee in immediately available funds at closing. The Option Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price at closing. Lessee shall also pay the cost of any revenue or transfer stamps required to be affixed to the deeds, and all reasonable expenses, disbursements and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lessor in the sale transaction.

29.5 Closing. The consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Option (the "Closing") shall occur on the last day of the Lease Year in which the Option is exercised, or such other date mutually as is acceptable to Lessor and Lessee (the "Closing Date"). The Closing shall take place at the offices of the title company issuing the Title Policies, or at such other place as is mutually acceptable to Lessor and Lessee. If the Option has been exercised, but the Closing has not yet occurred as of the end of the Term, the Term shall be automatically extended until the Closing Date.

29.6 Conveyance(s); State of Title; Title Insurance. On the Closing Date, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Lessee of the Purchase Price, together with full payment of any unpaid Rent due and payable with respect to any period (prorated on a per diem basis, if appropriate) ending on or before the Closing Date, deliver to Lessee: (1) deeds conveying the Land underlying the Facilities and warranting only that Lessor has committed no act by which the Land has been encumbered except as set forth in instruments recorded in the real estate records of the applicable recording office, and (2) a bill of sale for that portion of the Option Property that is personal property, which bill of sale shall be delivered without warranty or recourse of any kind. The deed, assignment and bill of sale shall in any event be subject to the following:

(a) This Lease, the Subleases, and all real estate taxes, assessments, water charges, requirements of municipal or other governmental authorities, or other covenants, agreements, matters or things which are the obligation of Lessee to pay, comply with, conform to or discharge under the provisions of this Lease;

(b) All liens, encumbrances, violations, charges or conditions that are due to any act or omission of Lessee;

(d) Such other exceptions to title set forth in the Title Policy.

Within fourteen (14) days after the exercise of the Option by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessee shall order title commitments (the "Title Commitments") for the real estate portion of the Option Property. If, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Title Commitments, Lessee determines that the matters listed in the Title Commitments are not acceptable to Lessee, then Lessee shall provide Lessor with a written list of Lessee’s objection to title (the "Objections"); provided, however, that Lessee shall have no right to object to any of the matters listed in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above. If Lessor is unable or unwilling to eliminate one or more of the Objections, then Lessee may either (1) proceed to close and, by doing so, waive any such Objections that Lessor is unable or unwilling to eliminate; or (2) terminate this Option by written notice to Lessor, in which case Lessee shall be entitled to a return of the Option Deposit; provided, however, that Lessor shall be obligated to remove any financial encumbrances voluntarily placed on the Option Property by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and all judgment or involuntary liens on the Option Property that secure obligations of Lessor not arising from a failure of Lessee to perform its obligations under this Lease and the other Transaction Documents. At closing, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee standard owner’s policies of title insurance (the "Title Policies") with respect to the real estate in the amount of the Purchase Price. The cost of the Title Policies and any endorsements to it shall be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

29.7 Lessee Acknowledgment.

In no event will any default hereunder result in the termination of the Lease.

29.9 Assignments. Lessee shall have no right to assign the Option, or any interest therein, without ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent, which may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE XXX - OPTION TO PURCHASE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ FACILITY

In consideration of the execution of this Lease, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, if the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commencement Date has occurred, then Lessor grants to Lessee as of such date the option (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option") to buy the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property (as that term is defined below) in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Article. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option may be exercised only with respect to all of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property, and may not be exercised in part or with respect to less than all the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property.

(l) actions, suits, claims, rights and choses in action, instruments, promissory notes, and documents owned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

30.3 Exercise of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option. During the Term, Lessee may exercise the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option at any time on or after the first day of the third Lease Year of the Initial Term (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Period"); provided, however, that Lessee may not exercise the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option at any time when an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lessee shall exercise the option by delivering Notice thereof to Lessor during the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Period, together with a non-refundable deposit in the amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Deposit").

The consummation of the transaction contemplated by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing") shall within ninety (90) days of the date on which the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option is exercised, or such other date mutually as is acceptable to Lessor and Lessee (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing Date"); provided, however, that Lessor shall not be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option if (i) as of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing Date, an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists; or (ii) the removal of the financial performance of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility for the twelve months preceding the Closing Date from the consolidated Financial Statements of Lessee would result in the occurrence of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing shall take place at the offices of the title company issuing the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Title Policy, or at such other place as is mutually acceptable to Lessor and Lessee. If the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option has been exercised, but the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing has not yet occurred as of the end of the Term, the Term shall be automatically extended until the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing Date.

30.6 Conveyance(s); State of Title; Title Insurance. On the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing Date, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Lessee of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Purchase Price, deliver to Lessee: (1) quit claim deeds conveying the Land underlying the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility, and (2) a bill of sale for that portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Property that is personal property, which bill of sale shall be delivered without warranty or recourse of any kind. The deed, assignment and bill of sale shall in any event be subject to the following:

(b) All liens, encumbrances, violations, charges or conditions that are due to any act or omission of Lessee;

(d) Such other exceptions to title set forth in the Title Policy.

Within fourteen (14) days after the exercise of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessee shall order a title commitment (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Title Commitment") for the real estate portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Property. If, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Title Commitment, Lessee determines that the matters listed in the Title Commitment are not acceptable to Lessee, then Lessee shall provide Lessor with a written list of Lessee’s objection to title (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Objections"); provided, however, that Lessee shall have no right to object to any of the matters listed in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c)above. If Lessor is unable or unwilling to eliminate one or more of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Objections, then Lessee may either (1) proceed to close and, by doing so, waive any such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Objections that Lessor is unable or unwilling to eliminate; or (2) terminate the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option by written notice to Lessor, in which case Lessee shall be entitled to a return of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Deposit; provided, however, that Lessor shall be obligated to remove any financial encumbrances voluntarily placed on the Option Property by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and all judgment or involuntary liens on the Option Property that secure obligations of Lessor not arising from a failure of Lessee to perform its obligations under this Lease and the other Transaction Documents. At closing, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a standard owner’s/▇▇▇▇▇▇’s policy of title insurance (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Title Policy") with respect to the real estate in the amount of the Purchase Price. The cost of the Title Policy and any endorsements to it shall be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

30.8 Amendment to this Lease. Effective as of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Property is deleted from from the real and personal property leased by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from Lessor pursuant to this Lease (including from the definitions of Land, Lessor’s Personal Property, the Facilities, and the Leased Properties) and the annual Base Rent is reduced by Four Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($410,000).

30.9 Default; Remedies. In the event that either party hereunder fails to perform their respective duties or obligations under this Article, the other party shall give Notice thereof and, if the non-performing party fails to remedy such default within a ten (10) day period, the performing party’s remedies shall be as follows: (i) Lessor’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to retain the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Deposit as full liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the parties hereby acknowledging Lessor’s actual damages will be difficult, if not impossible, to calculate under the circumstances, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby waiving and releasing any right to pursue any other remedy hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise, including without limitation the remedies of specific performance and damages, and (ii) Lessee may pursue any and all rights and remedies available hereunder at law, in equity, or otherwise, including without limitation an action for specific performance or damages. In no event will any default hereunder result in the termination of the Lease.

30.10 Assignments. Lessee shall have no right to assign the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option, or any interest therein, without ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent, which may be withheld in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE XXXI - SECURITY DEPOSIT

31.1 Security Deposit. Concurrently with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a security deposit in the amount of One Million Eight Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Eight and 50/100 Dollars ($1,852,687.50), in the form of an absolute, unconditional site draft letter of credit for a term of one (1) year (renewable automatically) issued by an "A" rated financial institution (as increased, the "Security Deposit"), which Lessor shall hold as security for the full and faithful performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of this Lease in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit Agreement. On the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commencement Date, Lessee shall increase the Security Deposit by depositing with Lessor One Hundred Ninety Seven Thousand Three Hundred Twelve and 50/100 Dollars ($197,312.50) such that the Security Deposit equals Two Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,050,000), at which time Lessee shall cause to be issued to Lessor a new letter of credit in the amount of Two Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,050,000), upon the receipt of which Lessor shall return to Lessee the Letter of Credit for One Million Eight Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Eight and 50/100 Dollars ($1,852,687.50) and any cash so deposited. If at any time the Security Deposit is in the form of cash, it may be deposited by Lessor into an interest-bearing account, and the interest shall be added to and become part of the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent (or of any other sum payable to Lessee under this Lease) or a measure of Lessor’s damages in case of a default by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Security Deposit shall not be considered a trust fund, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ expressly acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not acting as a trustee or in any fiduciary capacity in controlling or using the Security Deposit. Lessor shall have no obligation to maintain the Security Deposit separate and apart from ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s general and/or other funds. The Security Deposit, less any portion thereof applied as provided in the Letter of Credit Agreement or Section 31.2, shall be returned to Lessee within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Term.

31.2 Application of Security Deposit. If an Event of Default has occurred and such Event of Default is continuing, Lessor may, but shall not be required to, in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to Lessor, apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to the payment of any sum in default, or any other sum that Lessor may expend or be required to expend by reason of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s default, including but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in reletting the Leased Properties. Whenever, and as often as, Lessor has applied any portion of the Security Deposit to cure Lessee’s default hereunder or under any agreement with which this Lease is cross-defaulted, Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after Notice from Lessor, deliver a new letter of credit meeting the requirements of the Letter of Credit Agreement to Lessor (or, at Lessor’s option, deposit additional money with Lessor) sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount then required to be deposited with Lessor pursuant to Section 31.1 above, and Lessee’s failure to do so shall constitute an Event of Default without any further Notice.

31.3 Transfer of Security Deposit. If Lessor transfers its interest under this Lease, Lessor shall assign the Security Deposit to the new lessor and thereafter Lessor shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to look solely to the new lessor for the return of the Security Deposit. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to every transfer or assignment of Lessor’s interest under this Lease. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and that ▇▇▇▇▇▇, its successors and assigns may return the Security Deposit to the last Lessee in possession at the last address for which Notice has given by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and that Lessor thereafter shall be relieved of any liability therefor, regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease or any such actual or attempted assignment or encumbrances of the Security Deposit.
