(the "Initial Term") commencing November 1, 2000 (the "Commencement Date"), and

Date, as may be extended pursuant to the terms of Article 34.
ARTICLE 2
RENT
----
2.1 Minimum Rent and Adjustments to Minimum Rent. Lessee shall pay to
--------------------------------------------
Lessor, without notice, demand, set off (except as set forth in Section 30.2 or
Article 32 hereof) or counterclaim, in advance in lawful money of the United
States of America, at Lessor's address set forth herein or at such other place
or to such other person, firms or corporations as Lessor from time to time may
designate in writing, Minimum Rent, as adjusted annually pursuant to Section
2.1(b) during the Term, as follows:
(a) Minimum Rent. Lessee will pay to Lessor as rent (as adjusted from
------------
time to time in accordance with Sections 2.1 (b) and 2.1(e), the "Minimum Rent")
for the Leased Property the annual sum of $800,795.00. The Minimum Rent shall be
payable in advance in 12 equal, consecutive monthly installments on the first
day of each calendar month during the Term commencing November 1, 2000. The
parties shall execute an acknowledgement of the Commencement Date as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Commencement Date. The Minimum Rent shall be
prorated for any partial month, shall include Minimum Rent from the Effective
Date to the Commencement Date and is subject to adjustment as provided in
Sections 2.1(b) and 9.3(b)(iv) below.
(b) Increases to Minimum Rent. On each anniversary of the Commencement
-------------------------
Date (each such annual date individually referred to as the "Adjustment Date")
throughout the Term, the then-current Minimum Rent shall be increased annually
effective as of such Adjustment Date by the increase in the Consumer Price Index
from the Commencement Date to the first Adjustment Date and, thereafter, from
the prior Adjustment Date to the then-current
2
Adjustment Date, provided that in no event will the annual change in the Minimum
Rent be more than 3.5% of the Minimum Rent for the prior year.
(c) Capital Expenditures. Lessee will make expenditures for repairs
--------------------
and replacements for the Facility as approved by Lessor, the costs of which
according to generally accepted accounting principles must be depreciated over
periods greater than one year in the amounts and for the periods set forth on
Exhibit C attached hereto. Within 45 days after each anniversary of the
---------
Commencement Date, Lessee provide evidence of such expenditures satisfactory to
Lessor. In the event such expenditures are not made, then within such 45-day
period following each anniversary of the Commencement Date, Lessee will pay to
Lessor for deposit in a money market account in a federally insured bank in
Nashville, Tennessee acceptable to Lessor and Lessee the difference between the
expenditures required and the amount actually spent for such purposes, which
funds (the "Capital Replacement Account") shall be made available to Lessee to
make such repairs and replacements. The Capital Replacement Account shall be in
the name of Lessor, and interest earned on such account shall be retained in the
Capital Replacement Account. Lessee shall make detailed requests for such funds
in writing to Lessor in the same form as a Request pursuant Section 9.3 hereof.
Within 30 days of such Request, Lessor shall reasonably approve the amount of
requested funds and make mutually agreeable arrangements for the disbursement of
the funds, or provide Lessee with written notice in reasonable detail specifying
Lessor's objections to such Request. So long as this Lease is still in effect at
the end of the Term, up to $100,000.00 of the Capital Replacement Account will
be paid to Lessee and the balance of such account shall be the sole property of
Lessor. Until released or until the end of the Term, such escrow funds will
constitute security for Lessee's obligations under this Lease in the event of a
termination of Lessee's interest hereunder, and Lessee hereby grants to Lessor
an assignment of, a security interest in and a right of setoff against all such
escrow funds.
(d) Payment of Minimum Rent. All payments of Minimum Rent shall be
-----------------------
made in lawful money of the United States by wire transfer of same day funds to
such account or location specified by Lessor from time to time in writing. In
the event that Lessor fails to timely provide such notice, Lessee shall make the
payment to Lessor at the address provided for notices below or such other
address as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing to Lessee.
2.2 Calculation of Increases to Minimum Rent. On or about each Adjustment
----------------------------------------
Date, Lessor will calculate the increase in the Minimum Rent pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.1(b) and will provide Lessee with written notice of
same. Lessee shall continue to pay the Current Minimum Rent until it receives
notice of the increase in the Minimum Rent.
2.3 Additional Charges. Subject to Article 11 relating to permitted
------------------
contests, Lessee will also pay and discharge as and when due (a) all other
amounts, liabilities and obligations, which Lessee assumes or agrees to pay
under this Lease including, to the extent applicable, any condominium
association dues, assessments or other charges, and (b) in the event of any
failure on the part of Lessee to pay any of those items referred to in clause
(a) above, Lessee will also promptly pay and discharge every fme, penalty,
interest and cost which may be added for nonpayment or late payment of such
items (the items referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above being referred to
herein collectively as the "Additional Charges"), and Lessor shall have all
legal,
3
equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided in this Lease, by
statute or otherwise, in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges, as
well as the Minimum Rent. If any installment of Minimum Rent or Additional
Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges which are payable directly to
Lessor) shall not be paid within ten days after the date when due, Lessee will
pay Lessor on demand, as Additional Charges, interest (to the extent permitted
by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment, from the
date when due to the date of payment in full thereof. In the event Lessor
provides Lessee with written notice of failure to timely pay any installment of
Minimum Rent or any Additional Charges pursuant to Section 15.1(b) more than
three times within any twelve month period, Lessee shall pay an administrative
fee to Lessor in the amount of $500.00 for each additional written notice Lessor
gives pursuant to Section 15.1(b) during the next twelve months. To the extent
that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor or the Facility Mortgagee
pursuant to any requirement of this Lease, Lessee shall be relieved of its
obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which such Additional
Charges would otherwise be due. Additional Charges shall be deemed Rent
hereunder.
2.4 Net Lease. The Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor, so that
---------
this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Minimum
Rent and the payments of Additional Charges (but only those which are payable
directly to Lessor) throughout the Term but subject to any provisions of this
Lease which expressly provide for payments by a party other than Lessor or the
adjustment of the Rent or other charges.
2.5 Rent Reserve Deposit. On or prior to the Commencement Date, Lessee will
--------------------
deposit, as security for the performance of Lessee's covenants and obligations
under this Lease, the sum of three times the monthly amount of Minimum Rent
computed in accordance with Section 2.1(a) above (the "Rent Reserve Deposit") in
the form of either (i) cash or (ii) an unconditional, irrevocable letter of
credit drawn upon a national bank acceptable to Lessor. Lessee shall provide
Lessor each year during the Term evidence satisfactory to Lessor in its sole
opinion not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the letter of
credit that such letter of credit has been unconditionally renewed for twelve
(12) months. Should Lessee fail or refuse to provide Lessor with such evidence
of renewal, Lessor shall have the right to exercise a call upon the full amount
of the letter of credit and convert the Rent Reserve Deposit to a cash deposit
to be held by Lessor. Lessor may, from time to time, without prejudice to any
other remedy apply or appropriate funds from the Rent Reserve Deposit to make
good any arrearage of Rent, to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of
Lessee hereunder, to compensate Lessor for any other loss or damage which Lessor
may suffer by reason of any default by Lessee; provided that the Rent Reserve
Deposit shall not be considered a limit on the measure of Lessor's damages in
case of an Event of Default by Lessee. At such time as Lessee has discharged its
obligations under all of the provisions of this Lease to be performed by Lessee,
including surrender of the Leased Property in accordance with the provisions
hereof, the Rent Reserve Deposit, shall be returned by Lessor to Lessee. Until
released or until the end of the Term, such cash or letter of credit will
constitute security for Lessee's obligations under this Lease, and Lessee hereby
grants to Lessor an assignment of, a security interest in and a right of setoff
against such cash or letter of credit.
4
2.6 Abatement of Rent Limited. There shall be no abatement of Rent on
-------------------------
account of any Casualty, Taking or other event, except that (a) in the event of
a partial Taking or a temporary Taking as described in Section 14.3, the Base
Rent shall be abated as follows: (i) in the case of such a partial Taking, the
Project Amount shall be reduced for the purposes of calculating Base Rent
pursuant to Section 3.1 by subtracting therefrom, as applicable, the net amount
of the Award received by Lessor, and (ii) in the case of such a temporary
Taking, by reducing the Base Rent for the period of such a temporary Taking, by
the net amount of the Award received by Lessor and (b) in the event of a
Casualty, the Base Rent shall be abated as follows: The Project Amount shall be
reduced for the purposes of calculating Base Rent pursuant to Section 2.1 by
subtracting therefrom, as applicable, the net amount of the insurance proceeds.
For the purposes of this Section 2.6, the "net amount of the Award received
by Lessor" shall mean the Award paid to Lessor or Lessor's mortgagee on account
of such Taking, minus all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection
therewith, and minus any amounts paid to or for the account of Lessee to
reimburse for the costs and expenses of reconstructing the Facility following
such Taking in order to create a viable and functional Facility under all of the
circumstances ("Net Award Amount") and the "net amount of the insurance
proceeds" shall mean the insurance proceeds paid to Lessor or Lessor's mortgagee
on account of such Casualty, minus all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
connection therewith and minus any amounts paid to or for the account of Lessee
to reimburse for the costs and expenses of reconstructing the Facility following
such Casualty in order to create a viable and functional Facility under all of
the circumstances ("Net Proceeds Amount").
ARTICLE 3
IMPOSITIONS
-----------
3.1 Payment of Impositions. Subject to Article 11 relating to permitted
----------------------
contests, Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions which are due
and owing during the Term and which relate to the period covered by the Term
before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, such
payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and
Lessee will promptly, upon request, furnish to Lessor copies of official
receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Lessee's
obligation to pay such Impositions and the amount thereof shall be deemed
absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased
Property or any part thereof. If any such Imposition may lawfully be paid in
installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued
interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and, in such
event, shall pay such installments during the Term hereof as the same become due
and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added
thereto. Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by
governmental authorities in respect of Lessor's net income, gross receipts,
franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock. Lessee, at its expense, shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all
other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by
governmental authorities. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority
in respect of any Imposition paid by Lessee, the same shall be paid over to or
retained by Lessee if no Event of
5
Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing. Any such funds retained
by Lessor due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided in Article 15.
Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is
maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased
Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the
event governmental authorities classify any property covered by this Lease as
personal property, Lessee shall file all personal property tax returns in such
jurisdictions where filing is required. Lessor and Lessee will provide the other
party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing
returns for any property so classified as personal property. Where Lessor is
legally required to file personal property tax returns, and Lessee is obligated
for the same hereunder, Lessee will be provided with copies of assessment
notices in sufficient time for Lessee to file a protest. Lessee may, upon giving
30 days' prior written notice to Lessor, at Lessee's option and at Lessee's sole
cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Lessee
may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property
assessments and Lessor, if requested by Lessee and at Lessee's expense as
aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other
action. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of personal property
taxes shall be accompanied by copies of an invoice therefor and payments thereof
which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are
made. Lessor will cooperate with Lessee in order that Lessee may fulfill its
obligations hereunder, including the execution of any instruments or documents
reasonably requested by Lessee.
3.2 Proration of Impositions. Impositions imposed in respect of the
------------------------
tax-fiscal period during which the Term commences and terminates shall be
prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed
before or after such termination, and Lessee's and Lessor's obligation to pay
their respective prorated shares thereof with respect to any tax period which
relates to the period after termination of the Lease shall survive such
termination.
3.3 Utility Charges. Lessee will, or will cause its Tenants, if any, to,
---------------
contract for, in its own name, and will pay or cause to be paid all charges for,
electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased
Property during the Term.
3.4 Insurance Premiums. Lessee will contract for, in its own name, and will
------------------
pay or cause to be paid all premiums for, the insurance coverage required to be
maintained by Lessee pursuant to Article 12 during the Term.
ARTICLE 4
NO TERMINATION
--------------
Except as provided in this Lease, Lessee shall remain bound by this Lease
in accordance with its terms and shall neither take any action without the
consent of Lessor to modify, surrender or terminate the same, nor seek nor be
entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent, or set-off
against the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Lessor and Lessee be
otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to, or destruction of, the Leased
Property or any portion thereof from whatever cause or any Taking of the Leased
Property or any portion thereof, except as otherwise provided in Articles 13 or
14, (b) the lawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Lessee's use of the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the
6
interference with such use by any person, corporation, partnership or other
entity, or by reason of eviction by paramount title, (c) any claim which Lessee
has or might have against Lessor or by reason of any default or breach of any
warranty by Lessor under this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and
Lessee or to which Lessor and Lessee are parties, (d) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution,
winding up or other proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee
of Lessor, or (e) for any other cause whatsoever whether similar or dissimilar
to any of the foregoing. Lessee hereby specifically waives all rights arising
from any occurrence whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it
by law to (i) modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the
Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (ii) entitle Lessee to any abatement,
reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Lessee
hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. The
obligations of Lessor and Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent
covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Lessee
hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events, unless the obligations to
pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this
Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right by separate
and independent action to pursue any claim or seek any damages it may have
against Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the terms of this Lease.
ARTICLE 5
OWNERSHIP OF LEASED PROPERTY
----------------------------
5.1 Ownership of the Property. Lessee acknowledges that the Leased Property

its expense, install, affix or assemble or place on any parcels of the Land or
in any of the Leased Improvements any items of the Personal Property, and may

maintain during the entire Term all such Personal Property as shall be necessary

the foregoing, Lessee shall have no liability to Lessor for any liens which may
be imposed against the Leased Property as a result of the acts or omissions of
any party other than Lessee during the period prior to the Commencement Date but
the same shall be and remain the responsibility of Lessor.
6.2 Use of the Leased Property.
--------------------------
(a) After the Commencement Date and during the entire Term, Lessee
shall be or cause to be used the Facility and the Leased Property as an 82 unit

(d) Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the
Leased Property, or in the Facility or cause or permit any nuisance thereon.
(e) Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property or any
portion thereof, including any Capital Addition whether or not financed by
Lessor, to be used in such a manner as (i) is reasonably likely to impair
Lessor's estate therein or any portion thereof, or (ii) is reasonably likely to
result in a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the
public, as such, or of implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion
thereof.
8
(f) Lessee will not utilize any Hazardous Materials on the Leased
Property except in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and will not
permit any contamination which may require remediation under any applicable
Hazardous Materials Law. Lessee agrees not to dispose of any Hazardous Materials
or substances within the sewerage system of the Leased Property, and that it
will handle all "red bag" wastes in accordance with applicable Hazardous
Materials Laws.

----------------------
(i) Lessee shall cause the Facility to be managed and leased to Residents and
Tenants at all times by Lessee or an Affiliate of Lessee, (ii) Lessee shall not
enter into any agreement (oral or written) with respect to such management and
leasing activities unless the terms thereof and the proposed manager or leasing
agent have been approved in writing by Lessor, (iii) all such management or
leasing agreements must be in writing, and (iv) all management or leasing
agreements with an Affiliate of Lessee must contain provisions to the effect
that (A) the obligation of Lessee to pay management fees is subordinate to its
obligation to pay the Rent, and (B) the manager shall not have the right to
collect any management fees during the continuance of an Event of Default.
6.4 Lessor to Grant Easements. Lessor will, from time to time, at the
-------------------------
request of Lessee and at Lessee's cost and expense, but subject to the approval

such grants, releases, dedications and transfers (to the extent of its interest
in the Leased Property), but only upon delivery to Lessor of an Officer's
Certificate stating (and such other information as Lessor may reasonably require
confirming) that such grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or
amendment is required or beneficial for and not detrimental to the proper
conduct of the business of Lessee on the Leased Property and does not reduce the
value thereof.

--------------------------------------------
8.1 Maintenance and Repair.
----------------------
(a) Lessee, at its expense, will keep the Leased Property and all
private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto in reasonably good
order and repair (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of
Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements, the age of the Leased Property or any
portion thereof), and except as otherwise provided in Articles 13 and 14, with
reasonable promptness will make all necessary and appropriate repairs thereto of
every kind and nature (including remodeling to the extent necessary to maintain

existing prior to or after the commencement of the Term of this Lease (concealed
or otherwise). All repairs and remodeling shall, to the extent reasonably
achievable,
10
be at least equivalent in quality to the original work and shall be accomplished
by Lessee or a party selected by Lessee. Lessee will not take or omit to take
any action the taking or omission of which might materially impair the value or
usefulness of the Leased Property or any part thereof for the Primary Intended
Use. If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, or if Lessor
reasonably determines that action is necessary and is not being taken, Lessor
may, on giving 30 days' written notice to Lessee (other than in a case
reasonably deemed by Lessor to be an emergency, in which case no such notice
shall be required), without demand on Lessee, perform any such obligations in
such manner and to such extent and take such other action as Lessor may deem
appropriate in the event that Lessee has not timely commenced to perform such
obligation or take such action, and all costs, expenses and charges of Lessor
relating to any such action shall constitute Additional Charges and shall be
payable by Lessee to Lessor in accordance with Section 2.3.
(b) Except for the use of any insurance proceeds (to the extent
required by Sections 13.1 and 13.2) and any Award (to the extent required by

rebuild any improvements on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs,
replacements, alterations, restorations, or renewals of any nature or
description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary,
structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure
whatsoever with respect thereto in connection with this Lease, or to maintain
the Leased Property in any way.
(c) Nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by
Lessor shall be construed as (i) constituting the consent or request of Lessor,
expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or
vendor to or for the performance of any particular labor or services or the
furnishing of any particular materials or other property for the construction,
alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any
part thereof.
(d) Unless Lessor shall convey any of the Leased Property to Lessee
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Lessee will, upon the expiration or
prior termination of this Lease, vacate and surrender the Leased Property to
Lessor in the condition in which the Leased Property was originally received
from Lessor, except for ordinary wear and tear (subject to the obligation of
Lessee to maintain the Property in good order and repair during the entire
Term), damage caused by the gross negligence or willful acts of Lessor, and
damage or destruction described in Article 13 or resulting from a Taking
described in Article 14 which Lessee is not required by the terms of this Lease
to repair or restore, and except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or
added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease.
8.2 Encroachments; Restrictions. If any of the Improvements shall, at any
---------------------------
time, encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjacent to the Leased
Property, or shall violate the agreements or conditions contained in any
applicable Legal Requirement, lawful restrictive covenant or other agreement
affecting the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or shall impair the rights
of others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Property is
subject, then promptly upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall at its expense,
subject to its right to contest the existence of any such encroachment,
violation or impairment, (a) obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements
of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from
11
each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall affect
Lessor or Lessee, or (b) make such changes in the Improvements, and take such
other actions, as Lessor in the good faith exercise of its judgment deems
reasonably practicable, to remove such encroachment, or to end such violation or
impairment, including, if necessary, the alteration of any of the Leased
Improvements, and in any event take all such actions as may be necessary in
order to be able to continue the operation of the Facility for the Primary
Intended Use substantially in the manner and to the extent the Facility was
operated prior to the assertion of such violation or encroachment. Any such
alteration shall be made in conformity with the applicable requirements of
Article 9. Lessee's obligations under this Section 8.2 shall be in addition to
and shall in no way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under
any policy of title or other insurance and Lessee shall be entitled to a credit
for any sums recovered by Lessor under any such policy of title or other
insurance.
8.3 Inspections. From time to time during the Term but no more often than
-----------
one time per year, Lessor and its agents shall have the right to inspect the
Leased Property and all systems contained therein at any reasonable time to
determine Lessee's compliance with its obligations under this Lease, including
those obligations set forth in Article 7 and this Article 8. Lessee shall pay
Lessor the sum of $2,000.00 per year to cover the time and expense associated
with such inspections as and when performed.
ARTICLE 9
CAPITAL ADDITIONS
-----------------
9.1 Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property.
--------------------------------------------------------
(a) If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessee shall have the right, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth below, to construct or install Capital Additions on the Leased Property
with the prior written consent of Lessor which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided that Lessee shall not be permitted to create any Encumbrance
on the Leased Property in connection with such Capital Addition without first
complying with Section 9.1(b) hereof. Prior to commencing construction of any
Capital Addition, Lessee shall submit to Lessor in writing a proposal setting
forth in reasonable detail any proposed Capital Addition and shall provide to
Lessor such plans and specifications, permits, licenses, contracts and other
information concerning the proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably
request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall
indicate the approximate projected cost of constructing such Capital Addition
and the use or uses to which it will be put.
(b) Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition, Lessee
shall first request Lessor to provide funds to pay for such Capital Addition in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3. If Lessor declines or is unable
to provide such financing on terms acceptable to Lessee and Lessee rejects
Lessor's offer of financing, Lessee may arrange or provide other financing,
subject to the provisions of Section 9.2. Lessor will reasonably cooperate with
Lessee regarding the grant of any consents or easements or the like necessary or
appropriate in connection with any Capital Addition; provided that no Capital
Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any Leased Improvements on
the Leased Property with any
12
other improvements on property adjacent to the Leased Property (and not part of
the Land covered by this Lease) including tie-ins of buildings or other
structures or utilities, unless Lessee shall have obtained the prior written
approval of Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All
proposed Capital Additions shall be architecturally integrated into and
consistent with the Leased Property.
9.2 Capital Additions Financed by Lessee. If Lessee finances or arranges to
------------------------------------
finance any Capital Addition with a party other than Lessor or if Lessee pays
cash for any Capital Addition, this Lease shall be and hereby is amended to
provide as follows:
(a) There shall be no adjustment in the Minimum Rent by reason of any
such Capital Addition.
(b) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessor
shall compensate Lessee for all Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessee
in any of the following ways:
(i) By purchasing all Capital Additions paid for by Lessee from
Lessee for cash in the amount of the Fair Market Added Value at the
time of purchase by Lessor of all such Capital Additions paid for or
financed by Lessee; or
(ii) Such other arrangement regarding such compensation as shall
be mutually acceptable to Lessor and Lessee.
Any amount owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease at such termination or
expiration may be deducted from any compensation for Capital Additions payable
by Lessor to Lessee under this Section 9.2.
9.3 Capital Additions Financed by Lessor.
------------------------------------
(a) Lessee shall request that Lessor provide or arrange financing for
a Capital Addition by providing to Lessor such information about the Capital
Addition as Lessor may reasonably request (a "Request"), including all
information referred to in Section 9.1 above. Lessor may, but shall be under no
obligation to provide or obtain the funds necessary to meet the Request. Within
30 days of receipt of a Request, Lessor shall notify Lessee as to whether it
will finance the proposed Capital Addition and, if so, the terms and conditions
upon which it would do so, including the terms of any amendment to this Lease.
In no event (i) shall the portion of the projected Capital Addition Cost
comprised of land (if any), materials, labor charges, fixtures and out-of-pocket
expenses (including a reasonable construction management fee) be less than 100%
of the total amount of such cost, or (ii) shall Lessee or any of its Affiliates
be entitled to any commission or development fee, directly or indirectly, as a
portion of the Capital Addition Cost. Any Capital Addition not financed by
Lessor, which Lessee intends to finance or arrange financing for pursuant to
Section 9.2, must still be approved in writing by Lessor pursuant to the terms
of Section 9.1 hereof, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Lessee
may
13
withdraw its Request by notice to Lessor at any time before or after receipt of
Lessor's terms and conditions.
(b) If Lessor agrees to finance the proposed Capital Addition,
Lessor's obligation to advance any funds shall be subject to receipt of all of
the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor:
(i) such loan documentation as may be required by Lessor;
(ii) any information, certificates, licenses, permits or
documents requested by Lessor, or by any lender with whom Lessor has
agreed or may agree to provide financing, which are necessary or
appropriate to confirm that Lessee will be able to use the Capital
Addition upon completion thereof in accordance with the Primary
Intended Use, including all required federal, state or local
government licenses and approvals;
(iii) an Officer's Certificate and, if requested, a certificate
from Lessee's architect, setting forth in detail reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor the projected (or actual, if available) cost of
the proposed Capital Addition;
(iv) an amendment to this Lease, duly executed and acknowledged,
in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee (the "Lease
Amendment"), containing such provisions as may be necessary or
appropriate due to the Capital Addition, including any appropriate
changes in the legal description of the Land and the Rent, all such
changes to be mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee;
(v) if appropriate, a deed conveying title to Lessor to any
land and improvements or other rights acquired for the purpose of
constructing the Capital Addition, free and clear of any liens or
encumbrances except those approved in writing by Lessor and, both
prior to and following completion of the Capital Addition, an as-built
survey thereof reasonably satisfactory to Lessor;
(vi) if appropriate, endorsements to any outstanding policy of
title insurance covering the Leased Property or a supplemental policy
of title insurance covering the Leased Property reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor (A) updating the same
without any additional exceptions, except as may be permitted by
Lessor; and (B) increasing the coverage thereof by an amount equal to
the Fair Market Value of the Capital Addition (except to the extent
covered by the owner's policy of title insurance referred to in
subparagraph (vii) below);
(vii) if required by Lessor, (A) an owner's policy of title
insurance insuring fee simple title to any land conveyed to Lessor
pursuant to subparagraph (v), free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances except those approved by Lessor and (B) a lender's policy
of title insurance satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor and
the Lending Institution advancing any portion of the Capital Addition
Cost;
14
(viii) if required by Lessor upon completion of the Capital
Addition, an M.A.I appraisal of the Leased Property; and
(ix) such other certificates (including endorsements increasing
the insurance coverage, if any, at the time required by Section 12.1),
documents, customary opinions of Lessee's counsel, appraisals,
surveys, certified copies of duly adopted resolutions of the Board of
Directors of Lessee authorizing the execution and delivery of the
Lease Amendment and any other instruments or documents as may be
reasonably required by Lessor.
(c) Upon making a Request to finance a Capital Addition, whether or
not such financing is actually consummated, Lessee shall pay the reasonable
costs and expenses of Lessor and any Lending Institution which has committed to
finance such Capital Addition paid or incurred in connection with the financing
of the Capital Addition, including (i) the fees and expenses of their respective
counsel, (ii) the amount of any recording or transfer taxes and fees, (iii)
documentary stamp taxes, if any, (iv) title insurance charges, (v) appraisal
fees, if any, and (vi) commitment fees, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee shall have no obligation to reimburse Lessor for any of the fees, charges
and expenses described in this Section 9.3(c), if such Capital Addition
financing fails to close subsequent to Lessor issuing Lessee a written
commitment to finance said Capital Additions; provided that this provision shall
not apply if such financing fails to close due to the acts or omissions of
Lessee.
9.4 Remodeling and Non-Capital Additions. Lessee shall have the right and
------------------------------------
the obligation to make additions, modifications or improvements to the Leased
Property which are not Capital Additions, including tenant improvements made in
connection with the Tenant Leases, from time to time as may reasonably be
necessary for its uses and purposes and to permit Lessee to comply fully with
its obligations set forth in this Lease; provided that such action will be
undertaken expeditiously, in a workmanlike manner and will not significantly
alter the character or purpose or detract from the value or operating efficiency
of the Leased Property and will not significantly impair the revenue producing
capability of the Leased Property or adversely affect the ability of Lessee to
comply with the provisions of this Lease. Title to all noncapital Additions,
modifications and improvements shall, without payment by Lessor at any time, be
included under the terms of this Lease and, upon expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, shall pass to and become the property of Lessor.
9.5 Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection with
-------
the making of either Capital Additions permitted by Section 9.1 or repairs
required by Article 8 shall be or become the property of Lessor; provided that
Lessor may require Lessee to dispose of such materials and remit the net
proceeds thereof to Lessor within 15 days of such disposal.
ARTICLE 10

reserve or other appropriate provisions as shall be required by law or generally
accepted accounting principles shall have been made therefor or (2) any such
liens are in the process of being contested in accordance with the provisions of
Article 11, and (h) any Encumbrance placed on the Leased Property by Lessor.

ARTICLE 12
INSURANCE
---------
12.1 General Insurance Requirements. During the Term of this Lease, Lessee
------------------------------
shall at all times keep the Leased Property, and all property located in or on
the Leased Property insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance described
below and written by companies reasonably acceptable to Lessor authorized to do
insurance business in the state in which the Leased Property is located. The
policies must name Lessor as an additional insured and losses shall be payable
to Lessor and/or Lessee as provided in Article 13. In addition, the policies
shall name as an additional insured the holder ("Facility Mortgagee") of any
mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement securing any Encumbrance
placed on the Leased Property or any part thereof in accordance with the
provisions of Article 32 ("Facility Mortgage"), if any, by way of a standard
form of mortgagee's loss payable endorsement. Any loss adjustment in excess of
$100,000.00 shall require the written consent of Lessor and each affected
Facility Mortgagee. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Lessor and, if
requested, with any Facility Mortgagee(s). The policies on the Leased Property,
including the Leased Improvements, the Fixtures and the Personal Property, shall
insure against the following risks:
(a) Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, extended
coverage perils commonly known as "All Risk" and all physical loss perils,
including sprinkler leakage and business interruption, in an amount not less
than 100% of the then Full Replacement Cost thereof (as defined below in Section
12.2) after deductible with a replacement cost endorsement sufficient to prevent
Lessee from becoming a co-insurer together with an agreed value endorsement;
(b) Loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels or
similar apparatus now or hereafter installed in the Facility, in such limits
with respect to any one accident as may be reasonably requested by Lessor from
time to time;
(c) Loss or damage by hurricane, tornado and earthquake in the amount
of the Full Replacement Cost, after deductible;
(d) Loss of income under a business interruption insurance policy
covering risk of loss during the first 12 months of reconstruction necessitated
by the occurrence of any of the hazards described in Sections 12. 1(a), 12.1(b)
or 12.1(c), in an amount sufficient to prevent Lessee from becoming a
co-insurer; provided that in the event that Lessee shall not be in default
hereunder and Lessor shall receive any proceeds from such income insurance
which, when added to income amounts received with respect to the applicable time
period, exceed the amount of income owed by Lessee hereunder, Lessor shall
immediately pay such excess to Lessee;
17
(e) Claims for personal injury or property damage under a policy of
commercial general liability insurance including insurance against assumed or
contractual liability including indemnities under this Lease, with amounts not
less than $5,000,000.00 per occurrence in respect of bodily injury and death and
$10,000,000.00 for property damage; and
(f) Flood (when the Leased Property is located in whole or in part
within a designated flood plain area) and upon written request of Lessor such
other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties
in the area and if available at commercially reasonable rates from insurance
companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Leased Property is
located.
12.2 Replacement Cost. The term "Full Replacement Cost" as used herein
----------------
shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Facility from time to time,
including increased cost of construction endorsement, less exclusions provided
in the normal fire insurance policy. In the event Lessor or Lessee believes that
the Full Replacement Cost has increased or decreased at any time during the
Term, it shall have the right at its own expense to have such Full Replacement
Cost redetermined by the insurance company which is then providing the largest
amount of casualty insurance carried on the Leased Property, hereinafter
referred to as the "impartial appraiser". The party desiring to have the Full
Replacement Cost so redetermined shall forthwith, on receipt of such
determination by the impartial appraiser, give written notice thereof to the
other party hereto. The determination of such impartial appraiser shall be final
and binding on the parties hereto, and Lessee shall forthwith increase, or may
decrease, the amount of the insurance carried pursuant to this Article to the
amount so determined by the impartial appraiser.
12.3 Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above,
--------------------
Lessee shall upon written request of Lessor maintain such additional insurance
as may be reasonably required from time to time by any Facility Mortgagee which
is consistent with insurance coverage for similar properties in the city, county
and state where the Leased Property is located and is available at commercially
reasonable rates, or required pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement, and
shall at all times maintain or cause to be maintained adequate worker's
compensation insurance coverage for all persons employed by Lessee on the Leased
Property, in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements or is self
insured in accordance with an approved self insurance program.
12.4 Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance policies carried by either party
---------------------
covering the Leased Property, the Fixtures, the Facility and/or the Personal
Property, including contents, fire and casualty insurance, shall expressly waive
any right of subrogation on the part of the insurer against the other party
except with respect to claims arising out of the negligence and willful
misconduct of such other party. The parties hereto agree that their policies
will include such a waiver clause or endorsement so long as the same is
obtainable without extra cost, and in the event of such an extra charge the
other party, at its election, may request and pay the same, but shall not be
obligated to do so.
12.5 Form of Insurance. All of the policies of insurance referred to in
-----------------
this Section shall be written in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor by
insurance companies reasonably
18
satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall pay all premiums therefor, and deliver such
policies or certificates thereof to Lessor prior to their effective date (and,
with respect to any renewal policy, prior to the expiration of the existing
policy). In the event of the failure of Lessee to effect such insurance in the
names herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver such
policies or certificates thereof to Lessor at the times required, Lessor shall
be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to enact such insurance and pay the
premiums therefor, which premiums shall be repayable by Lessee to Lessor upon
written demand therefor, and failure to repay the same shall constitute an Event
of Default within the meaning of Section 15.1(c). Each insurer mentioned in this
Section shall agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies issued by it, or
by independent instrument furnished to Lessor, that it will give to Lessor prior
written notice before the policy or policies in question shall be altered,
allowed to expire or canceled.
12.6 Change in Limits. In the event that Lessor shall at any time
----------------
reasonably and in good faith believe the limits of the personal injury, property
damage or general public liability insurance then carried to be insufficient,
the parties shall endeavor to agree on the proper and reasonable limits for such
insurance to be carried and such insurance shall thereafter be carried with the
limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the provisions of this
Section. If the parties shall be unable to agree thereon, the proper and
reasonable limits for such insurance shall be determined by an impartial third
party selected by the parties the costs of which shall be divided equally
between the parties. Such redeterminations, whether made by the parties or by
arbitration, shall be made no more frequently than every year. Nothing herein
shall permit the amount of insurance to be reduced below the amount or amounts
reasonably required by any Facility Mortgagee.
12.7 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
--------------
this Section, Lessee's obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein
may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of
insurance carried and maintained by Lessee; provided that the coverage afforded
Lessor will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that
which would exist under separate policies meeting all other requirements of this
Lease; provided further that the requirements of this Article 12 are otherwise
satisfied.
12.8 No Separate Insurance. Without the prior written consent of Lessor,
---------------------
Lessee shall not, on Lessee's 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 in this Article 12 to be
furnished by, or which may reasonably be required by a Facility Mortgagee to be
furnished by, Lessee, or increase the amounts of any then-existing insurance
required under this Article 12 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
included therein as additional insureds and the loss is payable under said
insurance in the same manner as losses are required to be payable under this
Lease. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the taking out of any such
separate insurance or of the increasing of any of the amounts of the
then-existing insurance required under this Article 12 by securing an additional
policy or additional policies.
19
12.9 Insurance for Contractors. If Lessee shall engage or cause to be
-------------------------
engaged any contractor to perform work on the Leased Property, Lessee shall
require such contractor to carry and maintain insurance coverage comparable to
the foregoing requirements, at no expense to Lessor.
ARTICLE 13
FIRE AND CASUALTY
-----------------
13.1 Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds payable by reason of any loss or
------------------
damage to the Leased Property or any portion thereof, and insured under any
policy of insurance required by Article 12 of this Lease shall be paid to Lessor
and held by Lessor in trust (subject to the provisions of Section 13.7) and
shall be made available for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any
damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and
shall be paid out by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable cost of such
reconstruction or repair in accordance with this Article 13 after Lessee has
expended an amount equal to or exceeding the deductible under any applicable
insurance policy. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the
completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property shall be
retained by Lessee free and clear upon completion of any such repair and
restoration except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article 13;
provided that in the event neither Lessor nor Lessee is required or elects to
repair or restore the Leased Property, then all such insurance proceeds shall be
retained by Lessor. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance
shall belong to Lessee, including any salvage relating to Capital Additions paid
for by Lessee.
13.2 Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Covered by
---------------------------------------------------------------
Insurance.
---------
(a) Facility Rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use. Except
---------------------------------------------------------
as provided in Section 2.7 and Section 13.7, if during the Term, the Facility is
totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in
Article 12 and the Facility thereby is rendered Unsuitable for its Primary
Intended Use, such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease and all
of Lessee's obligations with respect to payment of Rent shall continue in full
force and effect and shall not be affected thereby and Lessee shall either:
(i) apply all proceeds payable with respect thereto to restore
the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or
(ii) offer either (A) to acquire the Leased Property from Lessor
for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price of the Leased
Property immediately prior to such damage or destruction or (B) to
substitute a new property or properties for the Leased Property
pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 (which
offer to substitute Lessor may in its reasonable discretion refuse).
Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or destruction whether Lessee chooses option (i) or option (ii), and if
option (ii) is chosen, such notice shall be accompanied by the offer referred to
therein. In the event Lessee fails to give such notice or does not make an offer
under option (ii), Lessee shall promptly proceed to restore the
20
Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the
damage or destruction. If Lessee's offer to substitute for the Leased Property
is reasonably refused by Lessor, Lessee shall promptly proceed to restore the
Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to
such damage or destruction or acquire the Leased Property from Lessor for a
purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price of the Leased Property
immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
(b) Facility Not Rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Except as provided in Section 2.7 and Section 13.7, if during the Term, the
Facility is partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described
in Article 12, but the Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its
Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall restore the Facility to substantially the
same condition as existed immediately prior to the damage or destruction and
such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease and all of Lessee's
obligations hereunder, including Lessee's obligations with respect to the
payment of the Rent, shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be
affected thereby; provided that if Lessee cannot within a reasonable time obtain
all necessary governmental approvals, including building permits, licenses,
conditional use permits and any certificates of need, after diligent efforts to
do so, in order to be able to perform all required repair and restoration work
and to operate the Facility for its Primary Intended Use in substantially the
same manner as immediately prior to such damage or destruction, then Lessee
shall:
offer, either (i) to acquire the Leased Property from Lessor for a
purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price immediately prior to
such damage or destruction, or (ii) to substitute a new property or
properties for the Leased Property pursuant to and in accordance with the
provisions of Article 20 (which offer to substitute Lessor in its
reasonable discretion may refuse).
Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or destruction whether Lessee chooses option (i) or (ii) and such notice
shall be accompanied by the offer referred to therein. In the event Lessee fails
to give such notice or does not make an offer, Lessee shall promptly proceed to
restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately
prior to the damage or destruction. If Lessee's offer to substitute for the
Leased Property is reasonably refused by Lessor, Lessee shall promptly proceed
to restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately prior to such damage for destruction or acquire the Leased Property
from Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price of the
Leased Property immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
13.3 Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Not Covered
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Insurance. Except as provided in Section 13.7, if during the Term the
------------
Facility is totally or materially destroyed from a risk not covered by the
insurance described in Article 12, whether or not such damage or destruction
renders the Facility Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall:
(i) restore the Facility to substantially the same condition it
was in immediately prior to such damage or destruction and such damage
or destruction shall not terminate this Lease, and all of Lessee's
obligations hereunder, including Lessee's
21
obligations with respect to the payment of the Rent, shall continue in
full force and effect and not be affected thereby, or
(ii) offer either (A) to acquire the Leased Property from Lessor
for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price immediately
prior to such damage or destruction, or (B) to substitute a new
property or properties for the Leased Property pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Article 20 (which offer to
substitute Lessor in its reasonable discretion may refuse); provided
that if such damage or destruction is not material in the reasonable
opinion of Lessor, Lessee shall restore the Facility to substantially
the same condition as existed immediately prior to any such damage or
destruction.
Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or destruction whether Lessee chooses option (i), (ii)(A) or (ii)(B) and,
in the event of either option (ii)(A) or (ii)(B), such notice shall be
accompanied by the offer referred to therein. In the event Lessee fails to give
such notice or does not make an offer, Lessee shall promptly proceed to restore
the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to
the damage or destruction. If Lessor does not accept Lessee's offer to
substitute for or purchase the Leased Property within 30 days after the date of
such offer, Lessee' offer shall be deemed withdrawn on such 30th day and Lessee
shall promptly proceed to restore the Facility to substantially the same
condition as existed immediately prior to such damage for destruction; provided
that if such damage or destruction occurs during any Extended Term, then Lessor
must accept Lessee's offer to acquire the Leased Property from Lessor for a
purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price immediately prior to such
damage or destruction.
13.4 Personal Property. Lessee shall use any insurance proceeds
-----------------
payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any of the Personal Property to
restore such Personal Property to the Leased Property with items of
substantially equivalent value to the items being replaced.
13.5 Restoration of Capital Additions. If Lessee is required or elects
--------------------------------
to restore the Facility as provided in Sections 13.2 or 13.3, Lessee shall also
restore the Personal Property related thereto as required by Section 13.4 and
all Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessor. Insurance proceeds payable
by reason of damage to Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessor shall be
paid to Lessor and Lessor shall hold such insurance proceeds in trust to pay the
cost of repairing or replacing such Capital Additions in the event Lessee does
not purchase or substitute other property or properties for the Leased Property.
13.6 No Abatement of the Rent. This Lease shall remain in full force
------------------------
and effect and Lessee's obligation to make rental payments and to pay all other
charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period required
for repair and restoration.
13.7 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of
-----------------------
Sections 13.2 or 13.3 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the
Facility occurs during the last 12 months of the Term, and if such damage or
destruction cannot be fully repaired and restored within the lesser of (i) six
months or (ii) the period remaining in the Term immediately following the date
of loss, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
giving notice of
22
termination to the other within 30 days after the date of such damage or
destruction, in which event Lessor shall be entitled to retain the insurance
proceeds and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand the amount of any deductible
or uninsured loss arising in connection therewith; provided that any such notice
given by Lessor shall be void and of no force and effect if Lessee exercises an
available option to extend the Term for one Extended Term, or one additional
Extended Term, as the case may be, within 30 days following receipt of such
termination notice.
13.8 Purchase or Substitution. In the event Lessor accepts any offer
------------------------
by Lessee to purchase the Leased Property or to substitute a property or
properties for the Leased Property, this Lease shall terminate upon payment of
the purchase price and execution and delivery of all documentation in accordance
with Article 17, or execution and delivery of all documents required in
connection with a Substitute Property under Article 20. Lessor shall remit to
Lessee, or in the case of a purchase allow Lessee a credit toward the purchase
price, in an amount equal to all insurance proceeds being held in trust by
Lessor.
13.9 Waiver. Lessee hereby knowingly and expressly waives any
------
statutory or common law rights of termination which may arise by reason of any
damage or destruction of the Facility.
ARTICLE 14
CONDEMNATION
------------
14.1 Parties' Rights and Obligations. If during the Term there is any
-------------------------------
Taking of all or any part of the Leased Property or any interest in this Lease
by Condemnation, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined
by this Article 14.
14.2 Total Taking. If there is a Taking of all of the Leased Property
------------
by Condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking, and the
Minimum Rent and all Additional Charges paid or payable hereunder shall be
apportioned and paid to the Date of Taking.
14.3 Partial Taking. Except as provided in Section 2.7, if there is a
--------------
Taking of a portion of the Leased Property by Condemnation such that the
Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, this
Lease shall not terminate and all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, including
Lessee's obligations with respect to the payment of the Rent, shall continue in
full force and effect and shall not be affected thereby. If, however, the
Facility is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Lessee
shall either:
(i) at Lessee's expense, restore the Facility, to the extent
possible, to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately prior to the partial Taking, in which case the
proceeds of any Award shall be applied to such restoration to the
extent necessary or appropriate, or
(ii) offer either (A) to acquire the Leased Property from
Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price
of the Leased Property immediately prior to such partial Taking,
or (B) to substitute a new property or properties for the Leased
Property pursuant to and in accordance with the
23
provisions of Article 20 (which offer to substitute Lessor may in
its reasonable discretion refuse), or
(iii) terminate this Lease effective upon the effective date
of such Taking.
Lessee will give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after Lessee receives
notice of the Taking which option Lessee chooses, and if option (ii) is chosen,
such notice shall be accompanied by the offer referred to therein. In the event
Lessor does not accept Lessee's offer to so purchase the Leased Property within
30 days after receipt of the notice described in the preceding sentence, Lessee
may either (a) withdraw its offer to purchase the Leased Property and proceed to
restore the Facility, to the extent possible, to substantially the same
condition as existed immediately before the partial Taking, or (b) terminate the
offer and this Lease by written notice to Lessor.
14.4 Restoration. If there is a partial Taking of the Leased Property
-----------
and this Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to any provision of
this Article 14, Lessee shall accomplish aLl necessary restoration in order that
the Leased Property may continue to be used for its Primary Intended Use.
14.5 Award Distribution. In the event Lessee purchases the Leased
------------------
Property pursuant to Section 14.3 or Lessor accepts any offer by Lessee to
purchase the Leased Property or to provide a Substitute Property therefor
pursuant to this Article 14, then the entire Award shall belong to Lessee and
Lessor agrees to assign to Lessee all of its rights thereto. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Article 14, in any other event the entire Award shall
belong to and be paid to Lessor; provided that if this Lease is terminated in
accordance with Section 14.2(b) or 14.3(a), and subject to the rights of any
Facility Mortgagees, Lessee shall be entitled to receive from the Award any sum
attributable to Lessee's Personal Property, loss of Lessee's business, moving
expenses and any sum attributable to any Capital Additions for which Lessee
would be entitled to reimbursement at the end of the Term pursuant to the
provisions of Section 9.2(b), but only if any to the extent such Award expressly
includes such items and allocates a value thereto. If Lessee is required or
elects to restore the Facility, Lessor agrees that, subject to the rights of the
Facility Mortgagees, its portion of the Award shall be used for such restoration
and it shall hold such portion of the Award in trust, for application to the
costs of the restoration.
14.6 Temporary Taking. Except as provided in Section 2.7, the Taking
----------------
of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, by military or other public
authority shall constitute a Taking by Condemnation only when the use and
occupancy by the Taking authority has continued for longer than six months.
During any such six-month period all the provisions of this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect and the Rent shall not be abated or reduced during such
period of Taking; provided that to the extent any compensation is paid by the
Taking authority as a result of such temporary Taking, Lessee will retain such
compensation.
14.7 Purchase or Substitution. In the event Lessor accepts any offer
------------------------
by Lessee to purchase the Leased Property or to substitute a property or
properties for the Leased Property, this Lease shall terminate upon payment of
the purchase price and execution and delivery of all
24
appropriate documentation, in accordance with Article 17, or execution and
delivery of all documents required in connection with a Substitute Property
under Article 20.
ARTICLE 15
DEFAULT
-------
15.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
-----------------
following events shall constitute events of default (individually, an "Event of
Default" and, collectively, "Events of Default") hereunder:
(a) An event of default shall occur under any other lease or
agreement (the "Related Leases") between Lessor or any of its Affiliates and
Lessee or any of its Affiliates, which event of default is not cured within the
applicable grace period set forth therein;
(b) Lessee shall fail to make a payment of the Rent payable by
Lessee under this Lease when the same becomes due and payable and such failure
continues for a period often calendar days after written notice from Lessor to
Lessee;
(c) Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any other term,
covenant or condition of this Lease or any document executed in connection
herewith and such failure is not cured by Lessee within a period of 30 days
after receipt by Lessee of notice thereof from Lessor specifying in reasonable
detail the nature of such default, unless such failure cannot with due diligence
be cured within a period of 30 days, in which case such failure shall not be
deemed to continue if Lessee proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure
the failure and diligently completes the curing thereof (as soon as reasonably
possible);
(d) Lessee shall:
(i) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due,
(ii) file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take
advantage of any insolvency law,
(iii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
(iv) consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or
of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or
(v) file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or
arrangement under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other
applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any
state thereof; or
(e) Lessee shall default beyond any applicable grace period
contained in one or more major credit facilities which by their terms
would permit the acceleration of an
25
outstanding balance equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00 in the aggregate and
the same shall be accelerated by the lenders or other applicable parties.
15.2 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Lessor may, at
--------
its election, then or at any time thereafter, apply or appropriate, as the case
may be, the Rent Reserve Deposit, or the then remaining balance thereof, as its
remedy for any damages sustained by Lessor caused by a continuing Event of
Default. If (i) Lessor elects not to apply or appropriate the Rent Reserve
Deposit, (ii) the full balance of the Rent Reserve Deposit is inadequate to
compensate Lessor for damages sustained arising out of said continuing Event of
Default, or (iii) should an Event of Default occur and be continuing after the
Rent Reserve Deposit is fully depleted, then, in such event, Lessor may, at its
election, then or at any time thereafter, pursue any one or more of the
following remedies, in addition to any remedies which may be permitted by law or
by other provisions of this Lease, without further notice or demand, except as
hereinafter provided:
(a) Without any notice or demand whatsoever, Lessor may take any
one or more actions permissible at law to ensure performance by Lessee of
Lessee's covenants and obligations under this Lease. In this regard, it is
agreed that if Lessee abandons or vacates the Leased Property, Lessor may enter
upon and take possession of such Leased Property in order to protect it from
deterioration and continue to demand from Lessee the monthly rentals and other
charges provided in this Lease. Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to relet but
shall have no absolute obligation to relet. If Lessor does, at its sole
discretion, elect to relet the Leased Property, such action by Lessor shall not
be deemed as an acceptance of Lessee's surrender of the Leased Property unless
Lessor expressly notifies Lessee of such acceptance in writing, Lessee hereby
acknowledging that Lessor shall otherwise be reletting as Lessee's agent. It is
further agreed in this regard that in the event of any Event of Default
described in this Article 15, Lessor shall have the right to enter upon the
Leased Property and do whatever Lessee is obligated to do under the terms of
this Lease. Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor on demand for any reasonable
expenses which Lessor may incur in thus effecting compliance with Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, and further agrees that Lessor shall not be liable
for any damages resulting to Lessee from such action, except as may result from
Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Lessor may terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessee,
in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender the Leased Property to Lessor,
and if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor may, without prejudice to any other remedy
which Lessor may have for possession or arrearage in rent (including any
interest which may have accrued pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Lease or
otherwise), enter upon and take possession of the Leased Property and expel or
remove Lessee and any other person who may be occupying said premises or any
part thereof other than Residents pursuant to Resident Agreements or Tenants
pursuant to Tenant Leases. In addition, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand
the amount of all loss and damage which Lessor may suffer by reason of any
termination effected pursuant to this subsection (b), said loss and damage to be
determined, at Lessor's option, by either of the following alternative measures
of damages:
(i) Although Lessor shall be under no absolute obligation to
attempt and shall be obligated only to use reasonable efforts, to
relet the Leased Property, until the Leased Property is relet Lessee
shall pay to Lessor or paid by the new
26
tenant directly to an applicable third party on or before the first
day of each calendar month the monthly rentals and other charges
provided in this Lease. After the Leased Property has been relet by
Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the 10th day of each calendar
month the difference between the monthly rentals and other charges
provided in this Lease for the preceding calendar month and that
actually collected by Lessor for such month. If it is necessary for
Lessor to bring suit in order to collect any deficiency, Lessor
shall have a right to allow such deficiencies to accumulate and to
bring an action on several or all of the accrued deficiencies at one
time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in any way the right of
Lessor to bring a similar action for any subsequent deficiency or
deficiencies. Any amount collected by Lessor from subsequent tenants
for any calendar month in excess of the monthly rentals and other
charges provided in this Lease shall be credited to Lessee in
reduction of Lessee's liability for any calendar month for which the
amount collected by Lessor will be less than the monthly rentals and
other charges provided in this Lease, but Lessee shall have no right
to such excess other than the above described credit; or
(ii) When Lessor desires, Lessor may demand a final
settlement not to exceed the Minimum Purchase Price at the time of
such final settlement. Upon demand for a final settlement, Lessor
shall have a right to, and Lessee hereby agrees to pay, the
difference between the total of all monthly rentals and other
charges provided in this Lease for the remainder of the Term and the
reasonable rental value of the Leased Property for such period
(including a reasonable time to relet the Leased Property), as
determined pursuant to the provisions of Article 28 hereof, such
difference to be discounted to present value at a rate equal to the
Treasury Yield then in effect with maturity periods substantially
equivalent to the balance of the Initial Terms or any Extended Term
then in effect.
The rights and remedies of Lessor hereunder are cumulative, and pursuit of
any of the above remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedies
prescribed in other sections of this Lease and any other remedies provided by
law or equity. Forbearance by Lessor to enforce one or more of the remedies
herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to
constitute a waiver of such Event of Default. Exercise by Lessor of any one or
more remedies shall not constitute an acceptance of surrender of the Leased
Property by Lessee, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only
by the prior written agreement of Lessor and Lessee.
15.3 Additional Expenses. In addition to payments required pursuant to
-------------------
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 15.2 above, Lessee shall compensate Lessor
for all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in repossessing the Leased
Property (including any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of
the Leased Property), all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in reletting
(including repairs, remodeling, replacements, advertisements and brokerage
fees), all reasonable concessions granted to a new tenant upon reletting
(including renewal options), all fees and expenses incurred by Lessor as a
direct or indirect result of any appropriate action by a Facility Mortgagee and
a reasonable allowance for Lessor's administrative efforts,
27
salaries and overhead attributable directly or indirectly to Lessee's default
and Lessor's pursuing the rights and remedies provided herein and under
applicable law.
15.4 Waiver. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to law or the
------
provisions of this Article 15, Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, (a) any right of redemption, reentry or repossession and (b) the
benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability
for rent or for debt.
15.5 Application of Funds. All payments otherwise payable to Lessee which
--------------------
are 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 Lessee's
obligations in the order which Lessor may reasonably determine or as may be
prescribed by the laws of the state in which the Facility is located.
15.6 Notices by Lessor. The provisions of this Article 15 concerning
-----------------
notices shall be liberally construed insofar as the contents of such notices are
concerned, and any such notice shall be sufficient if it shall generally apprise
Lessee of the nature and approximate extent of any default in sufficient detail
so as to enable Lessee to undertake the necessary corrective action.
15.7 Lessor's Security Interest. Lessee hereby grants to Lessor, a valid
--------------------------
and continuing security interest to secure payment of all rentals and other sums
of money becoming due hereunder from Lessee, and to secure payment of any
damages or loss which Lessor may suffer by reason of the breach by Lessee of any
covenant, agreement or condition contained herein, upon all of the Personal
Property owned by Lessee and presently, or which may hereafter be, situated in
or about and used in connection with the operation of the Leased Property, and
all proceeds therefrom and accessions thereto and, except as a result of sales
made in the ordinary course of Lessee's business, such property shall not be
removed without the consent of Lessor until any arrearage in rent as well as any
and all other sums of money then due to Lessor or to become due to Lessor
hereunder shall first have been paid and discharged and all the covenants,
agreements and conditions hereof have been fully complied with and performed by
Lessee. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor may, in
addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Property
and take possession of any and all of the Personal Property, without liability
for trespass or conversion, and sell the same at public or private sale, with or
without having such property at the sale, after giving Lessee reasonable notice
of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private
sale is to be made, at which sale Lessor or its assigns may purchase unless
otherwise prohibited by law or unless such removal would materially and
adversely affect the compliance of the operations at the Facility with law or
jeopardize resident health or welfare or give rise to a default under a Tenant
Lease. Unless otherwise provided by law, and without intending to exclude any
other manner of giving Lessee reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable
notice shall be met, if such notice is given in the manner prescribed in this
Lease at least seven days prior to the time of sale. Any sale made pursuant to
the provision of this paragraph shall be deemed to have been a public sale
conducted in commercially reasonable manner if held in the above described
premises or where the property is located after the time, place and method of
sale and a general description of the types of property to be sold have been
advertised in a daily newspaper published in the county in which the property is
located, for five consecutive days before the date
28
of the sale. The proceeds from any such disposition, less any and all expenses
connected with the taking of possession, holding and selling of the property
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses), shall be applied as a
credit against the indebtedness secured by the security interest granted in this
paragraph. Any surplus shall be paid to Lessee or as otherwise required by law;
Lessee shall pay any deficiencies forthwith. Upon request by Lessor, Lessee
agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor a financing statement in form sufficient
to perfect the security interest of Lessor in the aforementioned property and
proceeds thereof under the provision of the Uniform Commercial Code (or
corresponding state statute or statutes) in force in the state in which the
Leased Property is located, as well as any other state the laws of which Lessor
may at any time consider to be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section, Lessor's security interest in the property
of Lessee described above shall be subject to and absolutely subordinate to any
and all purchase money security interests at any time given by Lessee to third
parties.
ARTICLE 16
LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE
----------------------
If Lessee, without the prior written consent of Lessor, shall fail to make
any payment, or to perform any act required to be made or performed under this
Lease and to cure the same within the relevant time periods provided in Section
15.1, Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default,
may (but shall be under no obligation to) make such payment or perform such act
for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to the extent permitted
by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action
thereon as, in Lessor's opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No
such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor,
together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the
Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred
by Lessor, and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, in each case, to the extent permitted by law) so incurred 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 17
PURCHASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
-------------------------------
In the event Lessee purchases the Leased Property from Lessor pursuant to
any of the terms of this Lease other than Section 29.2, Lessor shall, upon
receipt from Lessee of the applicable purchase price (after credit for the
balance of the Capital Replacement Account), together with full payment of any
unpaid Rent due and payable with respect to any period ending on or before the
date of the purchase and any other amounts owing to Lessor hereunder, deliver to
Lessee an appropriate special warranty deed and any other documents reasonably
requested by Lessee to convey the interest of Lessor in and to the Leased
Property to Lessee, and such other standard documents usually and customarily
prepared in connection with such transfers, free and clear of all encumbrances
other than (a) those that Lessee agrees to pay or discharge, (b) those mortgage
liens, if any, which Lessee agrees in writing to accept and to take title
subject to, (c) any other Encumbrances permitted to be imposed on the Leased
Property under the provisions of Article 32 which are assumable at no cost to
Lessee, and (d) any matters affecting the Leased
29
Property on or as of the Commencement Date as shown on Exhibit B attached
hereto. The difference between the applicable purchase price and the total of
the encumbrances assigned or taken subject to shall be paid in cash to Lessor,
or as Lessor may direct, in federal or other immediately available funds except
as otherwise mutually agreed by Lessor and Lessee. The closing of any such sale
shall be contingent upon and subject to Lessee obtaining all required
governmental consents or of Lessor to get the legal opinion described in the
last sentence of this Article 17 and approvals for such transfer; provided,
however, if Lessor cannot obtain the legal opinion described herein, after
receipt of Lessor's written notice that Lessor cannot obtain the required legal
opinion, Lessee shall have ninety (90) days in which to elect to substitute a
new property in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 and upon failure to
give written notice to Lessor within said ninety (90) day period, Lessor may
elect (i) not to consummate the transfer whereupon this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect or (ii) to consummate the transfer whereupon this Lease
shall terminate. If such sale shall fail to be consummated by reason of the
inability of Lessee to obtain all such approvals and consents, any options to
extend the Term which otherwise would have expired during the period from the
date when Lessee elected or became obligated to purchase the Leased Property
until Lessee's inability to obtain the approvals and consents is confirmed shall
be deemed to remain in effect for 30 days after the end of such period and any
other options available to Lessee under this Lease at the time the purchase
option was exercised shall be reinstated during such 30 days period. The closing
with respect to any such sale shall be appropriately timed to accommodate the
determination of the Minimum Purchase Price in accordance with Article 28. All
expenses of such conveyance, including the cost of title examination or standard
coverage title insurance, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in
connection with such conveyance, transfer taxes and recording fees shall be paid
by Lessee. Additionally, any sale to Lessee shall be subject to delivery of an
opinion of Lessor's counsel confirming that (i) the sale will not result in
ordinary recapture income to Lessor pursuant to Code Section 1245 or 1250 or any
other Code provision, (ii) the sale will result in income, if any, to Lessor of
a type described in Code Section 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3) and will not result in
income of the types described in Code Section 856(c)(4) or result in the tax
imposed under Code Section 857(b)(6), and (iii) the sale, together with all
other substitutions and sales made or requested by Lessee pursuant to any other
leases with Lessor of properties hereto or any other transfers of the Leased
Property or the properties leased under other such operating leases, during the
relevant time period, will not jeopardize the qualification of Lessor as a real
estate investment trust under Code Sections 856-860.
ARTICLE 18
HOLDING OVER
------------
If Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession of the Leased Property
after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of the Term hereof
without Lessor consent, such possession shall be as a tenancy at will during
which time Lessee shall pay as rental each month an amount equal to the sum of
(a) 150 % of the aggregate of 1/12 of the aggregate Minimum Rent payable with
respect to the last complete year prior to the expiration of the Term, plus (b)
all Additional Charges accruing during such month, plus (c) all other sums, if
any, payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to the Leased
Property. During such period of tenancy, Lessee and Lessor shall be obligated to
perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and
to continue its occupancy and use of the
30
Leased Property. 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.
ARTICLE 19
ABANDONMENT
-----------
19.1 Discontinuance of Operations on the Leased Property; Offer of
-------------------------------------------------------------
Substitution. If Lessee has discontinued use of the Leased Property for its
------------
Primary Intended Use for 90 consecutive days without Lessor's prior written
consent for alterations or remodeling pursuant to Article 9, repairs or
restoration pursuant to Article 13 or Article 14 or otherwise, then provided
Lessor has not terminated this Lease pursuant to Section 15.2, Lessee may offer
to substitute a new property or properties for the Leased Property pursuant to
and in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 (which offer to substitute
Lessor may in its reasonable discretion refuse).
19.2 Obsolescence of the Leased Property; Offer to Purchase. If the
------------------------------------------------------
Leased Property becomes Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, all as set
forth in an Officer's Certificate delivered to Lessor. Lessee may (provided this
Lease is still in effect), purchase the Leased Property for the Minimum Purchase
Price on the first Payment Date occurring not less than 120 days after the date
of such Officer's Certificate.
19.3 Conveyance of Leased Property. In the event Lessee elects to
-----------------------------
purchase the Leased Property pursuant to Section 19.2, then on the first Payment
Date occurring not less than 120 days after the date of the Officer's
Certificate referred to in Section 19.2, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Lessee
of the Minimum Purchase Price as of the date of such purchase and all Rent and
or other sums then due and payable under this Lease (excluding any installment
of Minimum Rent due on such Payment Date), convey the Leased Property to Lessee
on such date in accordance with the provisions of Article 17 and this Lease
shall thereupon terminate as to the Leased Property.
ARTICLE 20
SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY
------------------------
20.1 Substitution of Property for the Leased Property.
------------------------------------------------
(a) In the event Lessor accepts an offer by Lessee to substitute
other property for the Leased Property under Article 13, Article 14 or Article
19, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessee shall have the right (subject to the conditions set forth below in this
Article 20, and upon notice to Lessor) to substitute one or more properties
(collectively referred to as "Substitute Properties" or individually as a
"Substitute Property") for the Leased Property on a monthly Payment Date
specified in such notice (the "Substitution Date") occurring not less than 90
days after receipt by Lessor of such notice. The notice shall be in the form of
an Officer's Certificate and shall specify the reason(s) for the proposed
substitution and the proposed Substitution Date. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, any other substitution for the Leased Property
shall require the prior written consent of Lessor which shall be within the sole
discretion of Lessor.
31
(b) If Lessee gives the notice referred to in Section 20.1(a)
above, Lessee shall present to Lessor one or more properties (or groups of
properties) each of which property (or groups of properties) shall provide
Lessor with a yield (i.e., an annual return on its equity in such property)
equal to or greater than the Current Yield (and the yield reasonably expected to
be received thereafter throughout the remainder of the term) from the Leased
Property at the time of such proposed substitution (or in the case of a proposed
substitution as a result of damage, destruction or Condemnation, the Current
Yield immediately prior to such damage, destruction or Condemnation) and as
reasonably projected over the remaining Term of this Lease and shall have a Fair
Market Value substantially equivalent to the Fair Market Value of the Leased
Property. Lessor shall have a period of 90 days within which to review such
information and either to accept or to reject the Substitute Property or
Substitute Properties so presented; provided that if Lessee is required by a
court order or administrative action to divest or otherwise dispose of the
Leased Property within a shorter time period, the time period shall be shortened
appropriately to meet the reasonable needs of Lessee, but in no event shall said
period be less than 15 Business Days after Lessor's receipt of said notice
(subject to further extension for any period of time in which Lessor is not
timely provided with the information provided for in Section 20.2 and Section
20.3 below); provided that if Lessor shall contend that the Substitute
Properties fail to meet all the conditions for substitution set forth in this
Article 20, including the provisions of Sections 20.1(c), (d) and (e) below;
Lessee shall withdraw its offer to substitute property whereupon Lessee shall
within thirty (30) days of notice of its withdrawn offer of substitution give
Lessor written notice that it will either offer (i) to substitute additional
property or (ii) purchase the Leased Property for the Minimum Purchase Price
with either such election to be in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.
(c) It shall be a condition to consummation of any substitution
hereunder that all of the conditions set forth in Section 20.2 below, shall have
been satisfied with respect to such substitution, and to the delivery of an
opinion of counsel for Lessor confirming that (i) the substitution of the
Substitute Property for the Leased Property will qualify as an exchange solely
of property of alike-kind under Section 1031 of the Code, in which, generally,
except for "boot" such as cash needed to equalize exchange values or discharge
indebtedness, no gain or loss is recognized to Lessor, (ii) the substitution
will not result in ordinary recapture income to Lessor pursuant to Code Section
1245 or 1250 or any other Code provision, (iii) the substitution will result in
income, if any, to Lessor of a type described in Code Section 856(c)(2) or
856(c)(3) and will not result in income of the types described in Code Section
856(c)(4) or result in the tax imposed under Code Section 857(b)(6), and (iv)
the substitution, together with all other substitutions and sales made or
requested by Lessee pursuant to any other leases with Lessor of properties
hereto or any other transfers of the Leased Property or the properties leased
under other such operating leases, during the relevant time period, will not
jeopardize the qualification of Lessor as a real estate investment trust under
Code Sections 856-860.
(d) In the event that the equity value of the Substitute Property
or group of Substitute Properties (i.e., the Fair Market Value of the Substitute
Property or group of Substitute Properties minus the encumbrances subject to
which Lessor will take the Substitute Property or group of Substitute
Properties) as of the Substitution Date is greater than the equity value of the
Leased Property (i.e., the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property minus the
encumbrances subject to which Lessee will take the Leased Property) as of the
Substitution Date (or in the case
32
of damage destruction or Condemnation, the Fair Market Value immediately prior
to such damage, destruction or Condemnation), Lessor shall pay to Lessee an
amount equal to the difference, subject to the limitation set forth below. In
the event that said equity value of the Substitute Property or group of
Substitute Properties is less than said equity value of the Leased Property,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the difference, subject to the
limitation set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Lessor nor
Lessee shall be obligated to consummate any substitution if such party would be
required to make a payment to the other in excess of an amount equal to ten
percent of said Fair Market Value of the Leased Property (the amount of cash
paid by one party to the other being hereinafter referred to as the "Cash
Adjustment").
(e) The Rent for such Substitute Property in all respects shall
provide Lessor with a yield at the time of such substitution (i.e., annual
return on its investment in such Substitute Property) not less than the Current
Yield (and the yield reasonably expected to be received thereafter throughout
the remainder of the Term) from the Leased Property prior to any damage,
destruction or Condemnation, taking into account the Cash Adjustment paid or
received by Lessor and any other relevant factors.
(f) The Minimum Purchase Price of any Substitute Property or
Substitute Properties shall be an amount equal to the Minimum Purchase Price of
the Leased Property on the Substitution Date (i) increased by any Cash
Adjustment paid by Lessor pursuant to Section 20.1(d) above, or (ii) decreased
by any Cash Adjustment paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 20.1(d) above.

ARTICLE 23
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
-------------------------
23.1 Subletting and Assignment. Subject to the rights of (i) residents
-------------------------
under existing resident agreements, (ii) Tenants under existing Tenant Leases,
(iii) the provisions of Section 23.3 below and (iv) any other express conditions
or limitations set forth herein, Lessee may, without the consent of Lessor,
sublet all or any part of the Leased Property consistently with the Primary
Intended Use. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any
subletting or assignment; provided that (a) in the case of a subletting, the
sublessee shall comply with the provisions of Section 23.2, (b) in the case of
an assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree from and after the
effective date of such assignment to keep and perform all of the terms of this
Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be and become
jointly and severally liable with Lessee for the performance thereof, (c) an
original counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly
executed by Lessee and such sublessee or assignee, as the case may be, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to

remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt
payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the
covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder. In addition to
Lessee's rights to sublet and assign as provided in this section above, Lessee
shall also have the right (upon Lessor's prior consent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld) to enter into Tenant Leases which extend beyond the
Term of this Lease. To the extent that any such Tenant Leases extend beyond the
Term of this Lease, Lessor shall receive the rents from, and be responsible for
any obligations on the part of the landlord or lessor under such Tenant Leases.
Any and all such Tenant Leases shall, to the extent applicable, be subject to
the provisions of this Section and Section 23.2.
23.2 Non-Disturbance, Subordination and Attornment. Lessee shall insert
---------------------------------------------
in each sublease permitted under Section 23.1 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) in the event this Lease
shall terminate 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) in the event the sublessee receives a
written notice from Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if any, stating that there is
an Event of Default under this Lease, the sublessee, shall thereafter be
obligated to pay all rentals accruing under said sublease directly to the party
giving such notice, or as such party may direct until advised that such Event of
Default is no longer outstanding. All rentals received from the sublessee by
Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if any, shall be credited against amounts owing by
Lessee under this Lease. Lessor agrees that notwithstanding any default,
termination, expiration, sale, entry or other act or omission of Lessee pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, or at law or in equity, Tenant's possession shall
not be disturbed unless such possession may otherwise be terminated pursuant to
the terms of the applicable Tenant Lease. Lessor hereby agrees, upon Lessee's
request, to execute a nondisturbance agreement in favor of any Tenant or in
favor of any sublessee under any sublease
36
permitted under Section 23.1 above; provided that the Tenant or any such
sublessee has acknowledged all of the foregoing provisions and executed all
documents required by this Section 23.2.
23.3 Sublease Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
-------------------
Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall not sublet the Leased Property, including
any of the Resident Agreements and Tenant Leases, 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.
23.4 Sublease to Current Licensee. Notwithstanding anything in this
----------------------------
Article 23 to the contrary, Lessee shall have the right to sublease the Leased
Property to the current holder of the necessary license for operation of the
Leased Property as an assisted living facility and to simultaneously enter into
an agreement with such licensee for the management of the Leased Property. The
sublease and the management agreement shall be subject to the review and consent
of Lessor. Lessee agrees that notwithstanding any sublease pursuant to this
Section 23.4, Lessee shall proceed to and diligently pursue in conjunction and
cooperation with Lessor to have all required licenses for operation of the
Leased Property transferred to Lessee and within thirty (30) days of transfer of
or issuance of the required license for operation of the Leased Property to
Lessee, the sublease and management agreement shall be terminated.

ARTICLE 28
APPRAISAL
---------
40
In the event that it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value,
Fair Market Value Purchase Price, the Fair Market Added Value, the Minimum
Purchase Price or the Fair Market Rental Value of the Leased Property or a
Substitute Property for any purpose of 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 an appraiser on its behalf.
Within ten days after receipt of any such notice, Lessor (or Lessee, as the case
may be) shall by notice to Lessee (or Lessor, as the case may be) appoint a
second person as an appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers thus appointed (each
of whom must be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or
any successor organization thereto) shall, within 45 days after the date of the
notice appointing the first appraiser, proceed to appraise the Leased Property
or the Substitute Property, as the case may be, to determine any of the
foregoing values as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact, if any,
of inflation from the date of their decision to the relevant date); provided
that if only one appraiser shall have been so appointed, or if two appraisers
shall have been so appointed but only one such appraiser shall have made such
determination within 50 days after the making of Lessee's or Lessor's request,
then the determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon the
parties. If two appraisers shall have been appointed and shall have made their
determinations within the respective requisite periods set forth above and if
the difference between the amounts so determined shall not exceed ten percent of
the lesser of such amounts, then the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added
Value or the Fair Market Rental Value shall be an amount equal to 50 of the sum
of the amounts so determined. If the difference between the amounts so
determined shall exceed 10% of the lesser of such amounts, then such two
appraisers shall have 20 days to appoint a third appraiser, but if such
appraisers fail to do so, then either party may request the American Arbitration
Association or any successor organization thereto to appoint an appraiser within
20 days of such request, and both parties shall be bound by any appointment so
made within such 20-day period. If no such appraiser shall have been-appointed
within such 20 days or within 90 days of the original request for a
determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the Fair Market
Rental Value, whichever is earlier, either Lessor or Lessee may apply to any
court having jurisdiction to have appointment made by such court. Any appraiser
appointed, by the American Arbitration Association or by such court, shall be
instructed to determine the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the
Fair Market Rental Value within 30 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 50% of the
sum of the remaining two determinations shall be final and binding upon Lessor
and Lessee as the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the Fair
Market Rental Value for such interest. However, in the event that following the
appraisal performed by said third appraiser, the dollar amount of two of such
appraisals are higher and lower, respectively, than the dollar amount of the
remaining appraisal in equal dollar amounts, the determinations of both the
highest and lowest appraisal, respectively, shall be rejected and the
determination of the remaining appraisal shall be final and binding upon Lessor
and Lessee as the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the Fair
Market Rental Value for such interest. This provision for determination 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.
Lessor and Lessee shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser
appointed by it and each shall pay
41
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 29
PURCHASE RIGHTS
---------------
29.1 Right of First Refusal. During the Term hereof (provided that no
----------------------
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Lessee shall have a first
refusal option to purchase the Leased Property upon the same terms and
conditions as Lessor, or its successors and assigns, shall propose to sell the
Leased Property, or shall have received an offer from a third party to purchase
the Leased Property, which Lessor intends to accept (or has accepted subject to
Lessee's right of first refusal granted herein). If, during the Term, Lessor
receives such an offer or reaches such agreement with a third party or proposes
to offer the Leased Property for sale, Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of
the purchase price for the Leased Property and all other material terms and
conditions of such agreement or proposed sale together with a copy of such
offer, and Lessee shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice from Lessor
within which time to exercise Lessee's option to purchase. If Lessee exercises
its option, then such purchase shall be consummated within the time set forth in
the third-party offer and in accordance with the provisions of Article 17 hereof
to the extent not inconsistent herewith. If Lessee shall not exercise Lessee's
option to purchase within said 30-day period after receipt of said notice from
Lessor, Lessor shall be free for a period of 90 days after the expiration of
said 30-day period to sell the Leased Property to the third party at the price
and terms set forth in such offer. Whether or not such sale is consummated,
Lessee shall be entitled to exercise its right of first refusal as provided in
this Article, as to any subsequent sale of the Leased Property during the Term
of this Lease.
29.2 Option to Purchase. Anytime subsequent to the Commencement Date each
------------------
year through December 31, 2000, Lessee shall have the option to purchase the
Leased Property in accordance with the terms of the Contract for Sale of Real
Estate attached hereto as Exhibit "E upon written notice to Landlord for the
purchase price set forth in the Contract for Sale of Real Estate. Upon Lessee's
exercise of its option to purchase, Lessee, or its affiliate, and Lessor will
execute the Contract for Sale of Real Estate attached as Exhibit "E". If not
exercised, the option to purchase granted hereby will expire and be of no
further force and effect on or after January 1, 2001. If Lessee, or its
affiliate, and Lessor execute the Contract for Sale of Real Estate but do not
consummate the sale as the result of Lessor's default, the Minimum Rent shall be
adjusted to $764,395.59.
ARTICLE 30
DEFAULT BY LESSOR
-----------------
30.1 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall be in default of its obligations
-----------------
under this Lease if Lessor shall fail to observe or perform any term, covenant
or condition of this Lease on its part to be performed and such failure shall
continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof is received by
Lessor, unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period
of 30 days, in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue if
Lessor, within said 30-day period, proceeds promptly and with due diligence to
cure the failure and diligently completes the
42
curing thereof. The time within which Lessor shall be obligated to cure any such
failure shall also be subject to extension of time due to the occurrence of any
Unavoidable Delay. In the event Lessor fails to cure any such default, Lessee,
without waiving or releasing any obligations hereunder, and in addition to all
other remedies available to Lessee hereunder or at law or in equity, may
purchase the Leased Property from Lessor for a purchase price equal to the
greater of the Fair Market Value Purchase Price or the Minimum Purchase Price of
the Leased Property minus an amount equal to any damage suffered by Lessee by
reason of such default. In the event Lessee elects to purchase the Leased
Property, it shall deliver a notice thereof to Lessor specifying a Payment Date
occurring no less than 90 days subsequent to the date of such notice on which it
shall purchase the Leased Property, and the same shall be thereupon conveyed in
accordance with the provisions of Article 17. Any sums owed Lessee by Lessor
hereunder shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the, date due and payable
until the date paid.
30.2 Lessee's Right to Cure. Subject to the provisions of Section 30.1,
----------------------
if Lessor shall breach any covenant to be performed by it under this Lease,
Lessee, after giving notice to and demand upon Lessor in accordance with Section
30.1, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessor hereunder, and in
addition to all other remedies available to Lessee hereunder and at law or in
equity, Lessee may (but shall be under no obligation at any time thereafter to)
make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of
Lessor. All sums so paid by Lessee and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the
Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred
by Lessee, shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee on demand or set off against the
Rent. The rights of Lessee hereunder to cure and to secure payment from Lessor
in accordance with this Section 30.2 shall survive the termination of this
Lease.
ARTICLE 31
ARBITRATION
-----------
31.1 Controversies. Except with respect to the payment of Minimum Rent
-------------
hereunder, in case any controversy shall arise between the parties hereto as to
any of the requirements of this Lease or the performance thereof which
controversy the parties shall be unable to settle by agreement or as otherwise
provided herein, such controversy shall be determined by arbitration to be
initiated and conducted as provided in this Article 31.
31.2 Appointment of Arbitrators. The party or parties requesting
--------------------------
arbitration shall serve upon the other a written demand therefor specifying the
matter to be submitted to arbitration, and nominating an arbitrator who is a
member in good standing of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Within
20 days after receipt of such written demand and notification, the other party
shall, in writing, nominate a person who is a member in good standing with AAA
and the two arbitrators so designated shall, within ten days thereafter, select
a third arbitrator who is a person who is a member in good standing with AAA and
give immediate written notice of such selection to the parties and shall fix in
said notice a time and place for the first meeting of the arbitrators, which
meeting shall be held as soon as conveniently possible after the selection of
all arbitrators, at which time and place the parties to the controversy may
appear and be heard.
43
31.3 Third Arbitrator. In case the notified party or parties shall fail
----------------
to make a selection upon notice, as aforesaid, or in case the first two
arbitrators selected shall fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within ten days
after their selection, then such arbitrator or arbitrators may, upon application
made by either of the parties to the controversy, after 20 days' written notice
thereof to the other party or parties, have a third arbitrator appointed by any
judge of any United States court of record having jurisdiction in the state in
which the Leased Property is located or, if such office shall not then exist, by
a judge holding an office most nearly corresponding thereto.
31.4 Arbitration Procedure. Said arbitrators shall give each of the
---------------------
parties not less than ten days' written notice of the time and place of each
meeting at which the parties or any of them may appear and be heard and after
hearing the parties in regard to the matter in dispute and taking such other
testimony and making such other examinations and investigations as justice shall
require and as the arbitrators may deem necessary, they shall decide the
questions submitted to them in accordance with the rules of AAA. The decision of
said arbitrators in writing signed by a majority of them shall be final and
binding upon the parties to such controversy. In rendering such decisions and
award, the arbitrators shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the
provisions of this Lease.
31.5 Expenses. Unless otherwise specified in the decision of the
--------
arbitrators, the prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding shall be
reimbursed its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses by the non-prevailing party,
including travel expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and the
non-prevailing party shall pay all other costs of such proceeding.
ARTICLE 32
FINANCING OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
--------------------------------
Lessor agrees that it will not grant or create any mortgage, deed of
trust, lien, encumbrance or other title retention agreement upon the Leased
Property to secure any indebtedness of Lessor (an "Encumbrance"), unless each
holder of such an Encumbrance agrees (a) to give Lessee the same notice, if any,
given to Lessor of any default or acceleration of any obligation underlying any
such Encumbrance or any sale in foreclosure of such Encumbrance, (b) to permit
Lessee to appear with its representatives and to bid at any public foreclosure
sale with respect to any such Encumbrance, (c) agrees to release the Leased
Property from the Encumbrance upon the exercise by Lessee of a right to purchase
contained in this Lease and the payment by Lessee of the applicable purchase
price, and (d) enters into an agreement with Lessee containing the provisions
described in Article 33 of this Lease. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to
Lessor or the holder of an Encumbrance any written agreement required by this
Article within ten days of written request thereof by Lessor or such holder of
an Encumbrance. Lessee hereby consents to the assignment of and grant of a
security interest and lien in this Lease together with the other documents and
instruments delivered to Lessor by Lessee pursuant hereto and in connection
herewith (collectively, the "Assigned Documents"), including all rights of
Lessor in, to and under each Assigned Document, by Lessor to any Facility
Mortgagee requesting same. Lessee hereby further agrees to execute a Consent to
Assignment in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall
---------
pay any Encumbrance as and when due subject to any right granted Lessor in such
Encumbrance to contest any obligation of Lessor or to withhold any payment or
sum due under the Encumbrance.
44
ARTICLE 33
SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE
---------------------------------------------
At the request from time to time by one or more holders of an Encumbrance
that may hereafter be placed upon the Leased Property or any part thereof, and
any and all renewals, replacements, modifications, consolidations, spreaders and
extensions thereof, Lessee will subordinate this Lease and all of Lessee's
rights and estate hereunder to each such Encumbrance and will attorn to and
recognize such holder (or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any sale
under a power of sale contained in any such Encumbrance or a holder by a deed in
lieu of foreclosure, as the case may be) as Lessor under this Lease for the
balance of the Term then remaining, subject to all of the terms and provisions
of this Lease; provided that each such institutional holder simultaneously with
or prior to recording any such Encumbrance executes and delivers a written
agreement in recordable form (a) consenting to this Lease and agreeing that,
notwithstanding any such other lease, mortgage, deed of trust, right, title or
interest, or any default, expiration, termination, foreclosure, sale, entry or
other act or omission under, pursuant to or affecting any of the foregoing,
Lessee shall not be disturbed in peaceful enjoyment of the Leased Property nor
shall this Lease be terminated or canceled at any time, except in the event
Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease under the terms and
provisions expressly set forth herein; (b) agreeing that it will be bound by all
the terms of this Lease, perform and observe all of Lessor's obligations set
forth herein; and (c) agreeing that all proceeds of the casualty insurance
described in Article 13 of this Lease and all Awards described in Article 14
will be made available to Lessor for restoration of the Leased Property as and
to the extent required by this Lease, subject only to reasonable regulation
regarding the manner of disbursement and application thereof. Lessee agrees to
execute and deliver to Lessor or the holder of an Encumbrance any written
agreement required by this Article within ten days of written request thereof by
Lessor or such holder of an Encumbrance. Lessee agrees to execute from time to
time, at the request of Lessor, an institutional investor of Lessor's or a
Facility Mortgagee, a certificate setting forth any defaults of Lessor hereunder
and the dates through which Rent has been paid and such other matters as may be
reasonably requested.
ARTICLE 34
EXTENDED TERMS
--------------
If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee is
hereby granted the right to extend the Term of this Lease for three additional,
consecutive five-year periods (each such period, an "Extended Term") for a
maximum possible Term of 25 years, by giving written notice to Lessor of each
such extension at least 180 days, but not more than 270 days, prior to the
expiration of the then-current Term; subject, however, to the provisions of
Section 13.7 hereof and any other provisions which provide a specific right to
renew this Lease after the expiration of the applicable renewal provision.
Lessee may not exercise its option for more than one Extended Term at a time and
may exercise the option to extend for an Extended Term if all of the Related
Leases are simultaneously extended by Lessee or its Affiliates, as the case may
be. During each Extended Term, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, except that the Minimum Rent for and
during each of the Extended Terms shall be the greater of (i) the Fair Market
Rental Value on the first day of such Extended Term or (ii)
45
the Minimum Rent in effect immediately prior to the first day of such Extended
Term. In any event, the Minimum Rent shall continue to be increased throughout
the Extended Terms in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(b) hereof.
ARTICLE 35
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
35.1 No Waiver. No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict
---------
performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of the Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver
of any such breach or any such term. To the extent permitted by law, no waiver
of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, which shall continue in full
force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.
35.2 Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted by law, each legal,
-------------------
equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Lessor or Lessee now or
hereafter provided either in this Lease or by statute or otherwise shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power
and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lessor or Lessee of
any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the
simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Lessor or Lessee of any or all of such
other rights, powers and remedies.
35.3 Surrender. No surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of the Leased
---------
Property or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, shall be valid or
effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor and no act by
Lessor or any representative or agent of Lessor, other than such a written
acceptance by Lessor, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.
35.4 No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the
------------------
leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same person,
firm, corporation or other entity may acquire, own or hold, directly or
indirectly, (a) this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any
interest in this Lease or (b) such leasehold estate and the fee estate in the
Leased Property.
35.5 Transfers by Lessor. If Lessor or any successor owner of the Leased
-------------------
Property shall convey the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof,
other than as security for a debt, the grantee or transferee of the Leased
Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or
accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, and shall be
reasonably capable of performing the obligations of Lessor hereunder and Lessor
or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from
all future liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Lease arising or
accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all
such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new
owner.
35.6 General. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
-------
notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, Lessee and Lessor
against the other arising out of or relating to this Lease and arising prior to
any date of termination of this Lease shall survive such
46
termination. If any term or provision of this Lease or any application thereof
shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other
application of such term or provision shall not be affected thereby. If any late
charges provided for in any provision of this Lease are based upon a rate in
excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the parties agree that
such charges shall be fixed at the maximum permissible rate. Neither this Lease
nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except
by an instrument in writing signed by Lessor and Lessee. All the terms and
provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The headings in this
Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state where the Land is located, but not
including its conflict of laws rules. This Lease may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be an original but, when taken together, shall
constitute but one document.
35.7 Memorandum of Lease. Lessor and Lessee shall, promptly upon the
-------------------
request of either, enter into a short form memorandum of this Lease in form
suitable for recording under the laws of the state in which the Leased Property
is located in which reference to this Lease, and all options contained herein,
shall be made.
35.8 Transfer of Licenses. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
--------------------
the Term, Lessee shall take all action necessary or appropriate to effect (or
useful in effecting) the transfer, to the extent permitted by any Legal
Requirement, to Lessor or Lessor's nominee of all licenses, operating permits
and other governmental authorizations and all service contracts to the extent
permitted by the terms thereof which may be necessary or useful in the operation
of the Facility and which relate exclusively to the Facility which have not
previously been transferred or assigned to Lessor.

acknowledged, does hereby grant, sell, convey, assign, transfer, set over and

itself, its successors and assigns to warrant and defend the title to the Tenant

claiming or to claim the name or any part thereof, by, through or under Lessee
but not otherwise.
ARTICLE 3
LIMITED LICENSE, CONTINUATION
AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
3.1 Limited License. Lessee shall have the right under a limited license
---------------
(the "License") which may be revoked by Assignee pursuant to the terms of
Section 7.1, to collect upon, but not prior to accrual, all of the Rents and
Lessee shall receive the Rents and hold the same, as well as the right and
license to receive the Rents, as a trust fund to be applied, and Lessee hereby
covenants to apply the Rents, to the payment, satisfaction and discharge of the
Obligations then due, including specifically, but without limitation, to the
payment of taxes and assessments upon the Property before payment of penalty or
interest are due thereon, to the cost of such insurance then due, maintenance
and repairs as may be required by the terms of the Security Documents and in
satisfaction of all obligations of Assignor under the Tenant Leases then due;
all prior to the application by Assignor of the Rents for any other purposes.
The License shall also include the right of Assignor to execute, deliver,
perform, enforce, alter, modify, change or supplement the terms of the Tenant
Leases and to surrender, cancel or terminate such Tenant Leases without the
prior written consent of Assignee except for any of the
D-3
Tenant Leases executed, modified or supplemented after the date hereof whose
term (including any possible extensions on the part of the applicable Tenant)
extends beyond the Term of the Lease. Thereafter, so long as there exists no
Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Security Documents, Assignor may
use the Rents in any manner not inconsistent with the Security Documents. Upon
the sale and conveyance by Assignee or its successors or assigns of the title to
the Property, all right, title, interest and power granted under the License
granted herein shall be automatically continued subject to the terms and
conditions of the Lease and any of the other Security Documents.
3.2 Continuation and Termination of Assignment. Upon final payment,
------------------------------------------
performance and discharge in full of the Obligations, this Assignment shall
become and be void and of no force or effect. Written demand by Assignor or
Assignee delivered to any Tenant for payment of the Rents by reason of the
occurrence of any Event of Default claimed by Assignor or Assignee, and the then
existence thereof, shall be sufficient evidence of each such Tenant's obligation
and authority to make all future payments of the Rents to Assignor or Assignee,
as the case may be, without the necessity for further consent by Assignor.

no other person, firm or corporation has any right, title or interest therein.

singular, the terms, covenants, conditions and warranties of the Tenant Leases

Rents, or any part thereof, whether now due or hereafter to become due; the
Rents now due, or to become due, for any periods subsequent to the date hereof
have not been collected and that payment thereof has not been anticipated,
waived or released, discounted, set off or otherwise discharged or compromised;

credit has not already been made on account of the accrued Rents.

proceeding in which Assignee may appear.

------------------------------------------
covenants and agrees (a) upon and after an Event of Default hereunder or under

after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Assignee, unless such
failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of 30 days, in which

------------------
as defined in the Lease or any other of the Security Documents.

following rights and remedies set out in this Article 7:
(a) To terminate the License and then and thereafter without
taking possession of the Property, to the extent permitted by law, in Assignor's
own name, to demand, collect, receive, ▇▇▇ for, attach and levy the Rents and
give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor, and after deducting
all necessary and proper costs and expenses of operation and collection, as

thereafter to enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Property or
any part thereof; make, modify, enforce, cancel or accept surrender of a Tenant
Lease now in effect or hereafter in effect on the Property or any part thereof;

increase or decrease the Rents under a Tenant Lease; decorate, clean and repair,
and otherwise do any act or incur any cost or expense which Assignee may deem
reasonably necessary to protect the status and value of the Property as fully
and to the same extent as Assignor could do if in possession thereof; and in
such event, to apply the Rents so collected to the operation and management of
the Property, but in such order or priority as Assignee shall deem proper, and
including the payment of reasonable management, brokerage and attorneys' fees
and disbursements, and payment of the Obligations and to the establishment and
maintenance, without interest, of a reserve for replacements; and
(d) Any other remedy available to Assignee at law or in equity.
7.2 Exculpation of Assignee. The acceptance by Assignee of this
-----------------------
Assignment, with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created
hereby, shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Property by
Assignee, nor thereafter or at any time or in any event obligate Assignee to
take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or
perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under a Tenant Lease or
to assume any obligation or responsibility for any security deposits or other
deposits delivered to Lessee by a Tenant and not assigned and delivered to
Assignee, nor shall Assignee be liable in any way for any injury or damage to
persons or property sustained by any person, firm or corporation in or about the
Property not attributable to the negligence or fault of Assignee, its agents or
affiliates.
7.3 No Waiver or Election of Remedies.
---------------------------------
(a) Waiver. Neither the collection of the Rents and application as

provided for in this Assignment nor the entry upon and taking possession of the
Property by Assignee shall be deemed to cure or waive any Event of Default or
waive, modify or affect any notice of default under any Security Document or
invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. If Assignee shall
thereafter elect to discontinue the exercise of any such right or remedy
hereunder, such right or remedy may be reasserted at any time and from time to
time following any subsequent Event of Default.
(b) Election of Remedies. The failure of Assignee to assert any of
--------------------
the terms, covenants or conditions of this Assignment for any period of time or
at any time or times shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any such
right, and nothing herein contained nor anything done or omitted to be done by
Assignee pursuant to this Assignment shall be deemed to be an election of
remedies or a waiver by Assignee of any of its rights and remedies under any
other Security Document or under the law. The right of the Assignee to collect
and enforce the payment and performance of the Obligations and to enforce any
security therefor may be exercised by the Assignee either prior to or
simultaneously with or subsequent to any action taken hereunder.

7.4 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Upon and following the occurrence
-------------------------------
of an Event of Default remaining uncured, Assignor hereby constitutes and
appoints Assignee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, of Assignor and in the name, place and stead of Assignor to demand,
▇▇▇ for, attach, levy, recover and receive any premium or penalty payable upon
the exercise by a Tenant under a Tenant Lease of a privilege of cancellation
originally provided in such Tenant Lease and to give proper receipts, releases
and acquittances therefor and, after deducting expenses of collection, to apply
the net proceeds as a credit upon any portion of the Obligations selected by
Assignee, notwithstanding the fact that such portion of the Obligations may not
then be due and payable or that such portion of the Obligations is otherwise
adequately secured; and Lessee does hereby authorize and direct any such Tenant
to deliver such payment to Assignee in accordance with this Assignment, and
Assignor hereby ratifies and confirms that Assignee, as attorney-in-fact, shall
do or cause to be done by virtue of the powers granted hereby. Under the
circumstances referred to in this Section 7.4, the foregoing appointment is
irrevocable and continuing, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be

8.6 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms of the Security Documents
----------------------
shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto,
their successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, and all other
persons claiming by, through or under them.
D-9
8.7 No Waiver: Severability. Any failure by Assignee to insist, or any
-----------------------
election by Assignee not to insist, upon strict performance by Assignor of any
of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Security Documents shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of same or any other terms, provisions or conditions
thereof, and Assignee shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to
insist upon strict performance by Assignor of any and all such terms, provisions
and conditions. The Security Documents are intended to be performed in
accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable legal
requirements. If any provision of any of the Security Documents or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to
any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then neither the remainder of the
instrument in which such provision to other persons or circumstances nor the
other instruments referred to herein shall be affected thereby, but rather,
shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
8.8 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Assignment contains the
---------------------------------
entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and
all prior agreements relative thereto which are not contained herein are
terminated. This Assignment may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged,
released or terminated orally, but only by a written instrument or instruments
executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, revision,
waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment,
revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so documented
shall not be effective as to any party.
8.9 Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute but one instrument.
8.10 Applicable Law. The Security Documents shall be governed by and
--------------
construed according to the laws of the State of Tennessee from time to time in
effect except to the extent preempted by United States federal law. It is
expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Lessee and Assignee at all
times to comply with applicable law now or hereafter governing any interest
payable under the Lease, including any notes evidencing the Obligations or any
part thereof. If the applicable law is ever revised, repealed or judicially
interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under any of the
Security Documents, or if Assignee exercise of the opinion to accelerate the
maturity of the Obligations or if any prepayment by Assignor results in Assignor
having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it is
Assignor's and Assignee's express intent that all excess amounts therefore
collected by Assignee be credited on the principal balance of he Obligations
(or, if the Obligations have been paid in full, refunded to Assignor, and the
provisions of the Security Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the
amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, so as to comply
with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest
amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder). All sums paid or agreed to
be paid to Assignee for the use, forbearance or detention of the Obligations
shall to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Obligations until payment
in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such obligations
does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable to
the Obligations so long as debt is outstanding thereunder.
