AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LEASE Agreement

This AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LEASE (the “Lease”) is dated this 27th day of August, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), and is by and among the entities listed on Schedule 1-A attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference and incorporation (collectively, jointly and severally, the “Lessor”), having their principal office at c/o MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., 1000 Urban Center Drive, Suite 501, Birmingham, Alabama 35242, and the entities listed on Schedule 1-B attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference and incorporation (collectively, jointly and severally, the “Lessee”), having their principal office at c/o Steward Health Care System LLC, 1900 Pear Street, Suite 2400, Dallas, Texas 75201, Attn: Chief Executive Officer.

STATEMENT OF INTENT

Subject to Articles V, XIV, XV, XXX and Section 16.1, this Lease constitutes one unitary, indivisible, non-severable true lease of all the Leased Property.  This Lease does not constitute separate leases contained in one document each governed by similar terms.  The use of the expression “unitary lease” to describe this Lease is not merely for convenient reference.  It is the conscious choice of a substantive appellation to express the intent of Lessor and Lessee in regard to an integral part of this transaction, which is to accomplish the creation of an indivisible lease.  Lessor and Lessee agree that from an economic point of view the portions of the Leased Property leased pursuant to this Lease constitute one economic unit and that the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based upon a lease of all the portions of the Leased Property as a single, composite, inseparable transaction.  Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), all provisions of this Lease, including definitions, commencement and expiration dates, rental provisions, use provisions, renewal provisions, breach, default, enforcement, termination and assignment and subletting provisions, shall apply equally and uniformly to all the Leased Property as one unit and are not severable.  The economic terms of this Lease would have been substantially different had separate leases or a “divisible” lease been acceptable to Lessor.  A default of any of the terms or conditions of this Lease occurring with respect to any particular Property shall constitute a default under this Lease with respect to all the Leased Property.  Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), Lessor and Lessee agree that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied such that the intention of Lessor and Lessee to create a unitary lease shall be preserved and maintained.  Lessor and Lessee agree that for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365 or any amendment or successor section thereof, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease dealing with and covering one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Leased Property.

 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, Lessor is the current owner of that certain real property more particularly described on Exhibits A-1 et seq. attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (each together with all hereditaments, easements, mineral rights, rights of way, and other appurtenances  related thereto, and any other parcel of land acquired or leased and made subject to this Lease 

1

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

collectively, the “Land”), and is also the current owner of all of the Leased Improvements (as hereinafter defined) located on the Land (subject, as applicable, to the terms of the Pass-Through Leases (as hereinafter defined)); 

WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge that (a) a portion of the Hialeah Property (as herein defined) consists of a certain tract of land which is subject to the Hialeah Pass-Through Lease (as herein defined), (b) a portion of the Hialeah Palmetto Property (as herein defined) consists of certain tracts of land which are subject to the Hialeah Palmetto Pass-Through Leases (as herein defined), (c) a portion of the Lauderdale Lakes Property (as herein defined) consists of certain tracts of land which are subject to the Lauderdale Lakes Pass-Through Leases (as herein defined), and (d) a portion of the Miami Property (as herein defined) consists of a certain tract of land which is subject to the Miami Pass-Through Lease (as herein defined);

WHEREAS, pursuant to those certain Assignments and Assumptions of Leases, each dated as of July 31, 2021 to be effective as of August 1, 2021, certain Affiliates of Tenet Healthcare Corporation, a Nevada corporation, assigned (a) to Hialeah Lessor (as defined herein) all of their right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Hialeah Pass-Through Lease (as defined herein), (b) to Hialeah Palmetto Lessor (as defined herein) all of their right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Hialeah Palmetto Pass-Through Leases (as defined herein), (c) to Lauderdale Lakes Lessor (as defined herein) all of their right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Lauderdale Lakes Pass-Through Leases (as defined herein), and (d) to Miami Lessor (as defined herein) all of their right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Miami Pass-Through Lease; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Master Lease Agreement, dated October 3, 2016 (as the same has been modified, amended, supplemented, or restated, from time to time, the “Original Lease”), by and between Lessor and Lessee, Lessor leased (or subleased, as applicable) the Land and Leased Improvements to Lessee, and Lessee leased (or subleased, as applicable) the same from Lessor; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article II of the Original Lease, Lessee has the option to extend the “Fixed Term” (as defined in the Original Lease) for three (3) additional periods of five (5) years each; 

WHEREAS, Lessee desires to exercise the first two (2) of the five (5) year extension options to extend the “Fixed Term” for an additional period of ten (10) years (without prejudice to its third extension option); 

WHEREAS, Lessor desires to continue to lease (or sublease, as applicable) the Land and Leased Improvements to Lessee, and Lessee desires to continue to lease (or sublease, as applicable) the same from Lessor, on the terms and conditions hereinafter provided; and 

WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to amend and restate the Original Lease, effective as of the Effective Date, to reflect Lessee’s exercise the first two (2) of the five (5) year extension options (without prejudice to its third option) and to amend certain other provisions of the Original Lease as set forth herein.  

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby amend and restate the Original Lease in its entirety and agree as follows:

47

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  Unless otherwise indicated, the words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The words “herein”, “hereof and “hereunder” and words of similar import shall be deemed to refer to this Lease (including the Schedules and Exhibits) in its entirety and not to any part hereof, unless the context shall otherwise require.  All references herein to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed to refer to Articles, Sections and Schedules of, and Exhibits to, this Lease, unless the context shall otherwise require.  Unless the context shall otherwise require, any references to any agreement or other instrument or statute or regulation are to it as amended and supplemented from time to time (and, in the case of a statute or regulation, to any corresponding provisions of successor statutes or regulations).  Any reference in this Lease to a “day” or number of “days” that does not refer explicitly to a “Business Day” or “Business Days” shall be interpreted as a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days. If any action or notice is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day, and such calendar day is not a Business Day, then such action or notice shall be deferred until, or may be taken or given on, the next Business Day. For all purposes hereunder, whenever reference is made to “continuance” or “continuation” of an Event of Default (or words of similar import), such reference shall mean that the relevant Event of Default has not been waived in writing by the Lessor (or Affiliate of Lessor) or (as to any Event of Default that is subject to cure) cured within the applicable cure period.

1.3.Accounting Terms.  All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. Defined terms and calculations in connection with the covenants and other provisions of this Lease, including Section 16.1(j) and (k), shall be based upon and utilize GAAP applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Article XXIV(b)(i)-(iii). If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in this Lease, Lessor and Lessee shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided, that, until so amended, (a) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b) Lessee shall provide to Lessor financial statements and other documents required under this Lease or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Without limiting the foregoing, operating leases in effect on the date of this Lease shall continue to be classified and accounted for as such for all purposes of this Lease, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes.

1.4.Certain Matters Relating to References to Leased Property.  References herein to “a portion” of the Leased Property (or words or phrases of similar import) shall mean, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, a specific Property.

ARTICLE II.
LEASED PROPERTY; TERM

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Lessor leases to Lessee and Lessee rents from Lessor all of Lessor’s rights and interest in and to the following property (collectively, and as modified from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Lease, the “Leased Property”):

(a)the Land; and

(b)the existing improvements on the Land and the buildings and any improvements constructed on the Land, including, but not limited to, all buildings, structures, Fixtures, and other improvements of every kind, alleyways, and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits, and lines (on-site and off-site), parking areas and roadways appurtenant to such buildings and structures presently or hereafter situated upon the Land, Capital Additions, and all hereditaments, easements, rights of way, and other appurtenances related thereto, but excluding the Pass-Through Lease Improvements (collectively, the “Leased Improvements”).

SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to all Permitted Exceptions, Lessee shall have and hold the Leased Property for a fixed term (the “Fixed Term”) commencing on the Initial Commencement Date and ending at midnight on the last day of the Three Hundredth (300th) full month after the Initial Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated or extended as herein provided.

So long as no Event of Default then exists and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, Lessee shall have the option to extend the Fixed Term on the same terms and conditions set forth herein for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (an “Extension Term”); it being understood and agreed that Lessee’s exercise of such extension option must apply to the entire Leased Property.   Lessee may exercise such option by giving written notice to Lessor at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Fixed Term (the “Extension Notice”).  If, during the period following the delivery of the Extension Notice to Lessor and prior to the effective date of such extension, an Event of Default shall occur which is continuing on the commencement date of the Extension Term, at Lessor’s option, the Term shall not be so extended and Lessee shall be deemed to have forfeited all subsequent options to extend the Fixed Term of this Lease, if any. If Lessee elects not to exercise its option to extend, all subsequent options to extend, if any, shall be deemed to have lapsed and be of no further force or effect. In the event that, prior to the expiration of the Fixed Term, Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842), or any other accounting standard or official pronouncement of United States generally accepted accounting principles is adopted, which causes this Lease not to be an operating lease as defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, then Lessor and Lessee shall discuss modifications to this Lease and potential alternative and additional security arrangements under this Lease and the other Obligation Documents. 

49

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

ARTICLE III.
RENT

3.1.Rent.  During the Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in advance and without notice, demand, set off or counterclaim, 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, firm or entity as Lessor may designate from time to time in writing, following reasonable prior written notice, in accordance with Article XXXII, the Rent as provided in this Lease.   All payments to be made by Lessee under this Lease shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in immediately available and freely transferable funds, and any such payments received by Lessor prior to 2:00 p.m. local time on a Business Day in Birmingham, Alabama shall be credited prior to close of business, while other payments may, at the option of Lessor, not be credited until immediately available to the Lessor prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment on a day on which Lessor is open for business.   With respect to each Facility, Rent shall be calculated and payable as follows:

(a)Allocated Base Rent. With respect to each Property, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including adjustments set forth in Section 3.1(b) below), Lessee shall pay to Lessor in advance on the twelfth (12th) day of each calendar month during the Term base rent (the “Base Rent”) for such calendar month, equal to the aggregate sum of all Allocated Base Rent for all Properties, which Allocated Base Rent with respect to each Property shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the Lease Base for such Property as of the last day of the preceding calendar month (or as of the Commencement Date for such Property with respect to the amount payable for the first month of the Term), multiplied by (B) the Applicable Lease Rate relating thereto, divided by (C) twelve (12).  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the Base Rent is payable in advance and, accordingly, with respect to additions to the Lease Base and Capital Additions funded by Lessor with respect to any Property on or after the first (1st) day of any month (and, therefore, not included in the calculation of the Allocated Base Rent paid in advance for a particular month with respect to such Property), Allocated Base Rent for the next succeeding month shall include a per diem Allocated Base Rent for the prior month (prorated based upon a three hundred sixty (360) day year) to be calculated by multiplying the amount of any such advance by the Applicable Lease Rate for such Property.  Lessor shall provide Lessee with an invoice of such amounts prior to the twelfth (12th) day of the next calendar month (the “Interim Capital Addition Rent”); provided, however, Lessor’s failure to provide Lessee with an invoice for the Interim Capital Addition Rent relating to any Property prior to the twelfth (12th) day of the next calendar month shall not limit or affect the Lessee’s obligations hereunder to pay such Interim Capital Addition Rent.  

(b)Adjustment of Applicable Lease Rate.  

(i)All Property (other than New Property and New Projects that become subject to this Lease after June 1, 2021) and Massachusetts New Projects.  With respect to each Property (other than New Property and New Projects that become subject to this Lease after June 1, 2021) and each Massachusetts New Project, on each January 1 during the Term (each an “Adjustment Date”), the Applicable Lease Rate applicable to such Property or Massachusetts New Project shall be increased (and in no event decreased) and shall be equal to the sum of (A) the previous Applicable Lease Rate and (B) the product of the previous Applicable Lease Rate and the percentage by which the CPI published for 

50

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

the month of October prior to the applicable Adjustment Date shall have increased over the CPI figure published for the month of October prior to the previous Adjustment Date, with such sum being the new Applicable Lease Rate for such Property or Massachusetts New Project used for calculating Allocated Base Rent with respect thereto (in each case, such escalator used in calculating the adjusted Applicable Lease Rate for such Property or Massachusetts New Project being referred to herein as the “Legacy Escalator”); provided, however, that the Legacy Escalator shall in no event be less than Two Percent (2.0%) or greater than Five Percent (5.0%).  

(ii)New Property and New Projects that become subject to this Lease after June 1, 2021. With respect to each New Property and New Project (other than a Massachusetts New Project) that become subject to this Lease after June 1, 2021 (including, without limitation, each Tenet Property), commencing on January 1, 2022, and continuing on each Adjustment Date during the Term thereafter, the Applicable Lease Rate for such New Property or New Project shall be increased (and in no event decreased) and shall be equal to the sum of (A) the New Property/Project Lease Rate previously in effect, and (B) the product of such previous New Property/Project Lease Rate and the percentage by which the CPI published for the month of October prior to the applicable Adjustment Date shall have increased over the CPI figure published for the month of October prior to the previous Adjustment Date, with such sum being the new New Property/Project Lease Rate for such New Property or New Project used for calculating Allocated Base Rent with respect thereto (in each case, such escalator used in calculating the adjusted New Property/Project Lease Rate for such New Property or New Project being referred to herein as the “New Property/Project Escalator”); provided, however, that the New Property/ Project Escalator shall in no event be less than One Percent (1.0%) or greater than Four Percent (4.0%).

(iii)Unknown Variables.  For any monetary increases or adjustments that cannot be determined as of the applicable Adjustment Date due to then unknown variables (such as CPI), such amounts shall become due (and calculated retroactively to the Adjustment Date) and payable as of the time of determination.

(c)Rent Schedule.  Lessor shall, in its reasonable discretion, calculate the Base Rent and Interim Capital Addition Rent payable hereunder (the “Rent Schedule”), and provide a copy of such Rent Schedule to Lessee.  Base Rent, as calculated in accordance with Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) above, shall include Interim Capital Addition Rent and Allocated Base Rent payable with respect to the entire Leased Property.  The Rent Schedule shall be adjusted and substituted on a periodic basis by Lessor, in its reasonable discretion (each, a “Revised Rent Schedule”), as the Interim Capital Addition Rent and Base Rent are adjusted and calculated during the Term as provided herein.  Lessor shall provide a copy of the Revised Rent Schedule to Lessee, together with a written summary setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such adjustments. Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days following the furnishing by Lessor of the Revised Rent Schedule and the corresponding explanation for such adjustments, to review the Revised Rent Schedule. In the event that Lessee determines that Lessor’s adjustments or calculations of the Revised Rent Schedule are materially incorrect, provided Lessor agrees, Lessor shall correct such error and provide a corrected Revised Rent Schedule to Lessee. Payments of Rent as described in the Revised Rent Schedule shall not become effective until challenge of the Revised Rent Schedule 

51

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

has been mutually resolved by the parties, provided that such adjustments shall be retroactive to the applicable Adjustment Date.

3.2.Additional Charges.  In addition to the Base Rent, (a) Lessee shall pay and discharge as and when due and payable other amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions related to the ownership, use, possession and operation of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all costs of owning and operating each Facility, all Real Estate Taxes, Insurance Premiums, maintenance and capital improvements, all violations of and defaults under any of the Permitted Exceptions, and all licensure violations, civil monetary penalties and fines (except to the extent such violations, defaults, penalties or fines are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor), 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 reimburse Lessor, and/or its Affiliates for all such amounts paid by Lessor, and/or its Affiliates and promptly pay and discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment 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, 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 in the case of the Base Rent. If any installment of Base Rent or Additional Charges shall not be paid within ten (10) days after the applicable due date, Lessee, in addition to all other obligations hereunder, will pay to Lessor on demand as Additional Charges, a late charge computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof, and a Late Payment Penalty with respect to such installment.  To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor pursuant to clause (b) above or pursuant to any other requirement of this Lease, Lessee shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which they would otherwise be due.  If required by Lessor following the occurrence of an Event of Default, then, upon written request to Lessee, Lessee shall make monthly payments to Lessor in such amounts as Lessor shall estimate to be necessary to pay any Real Estate Taxes and/or some or all Insurance Premiums.  If Lessor exercises this option, it shall include in its written request an invoice in reasonable detail (the “Escrow Invoice”) specifying the amount to be paid on account of Real Estate Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums (the “Monthly Escrow Amount”).  Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Monthly Escrow Amount on the first (1st) day of each month after receipt of the initial Escrow Invoice.  At any time, with at least five (5) Business Days’ notice prior to the end of any month during the Term, Lessor may deliver to Lessee a substituted, adjusted or amended Escrow Invoice providing for a new Monthly Escrow Amount, and thereafter Lessee shall pay the revised Monthly Escrow Amount on the first (1st) day of each succeeding month (subject to further adjustment as provided for in this sentence).  Any sums paid to Lessor pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall bear interest and may not be commingled with Lessor’s books and accounts.  Lessor shall use any amounts so paid to pay the relevant Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums, as applicable, in each case prior to delinquency.  Lessor shall refund to Lessee at the end of the Term any such remaining amounts collected in excess of the amounts ultimately required to pay the relevant Real Estate Taxes or Insurance Premiums. Nothing in this Section 3.2 limits the provisions of Article XXII.

3.3.Continuation of Ground Lease Base Rent with Respect to Severed Ground Leases. Lessee shall pay all Severed Ground Lease Base Rent due and payable under the Severed Ground Leases, that relate solely to the period on or after the applicable Commencement Date (under this Lease) for the applicable Severed Ground Lease Property, directly to the applicable 

52

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

“Landlord” or “Lessor” under each Severed Ground Lease as and when the same becomes due and payable under the Severed Ground Leases. Upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall provide Lessor with reasonable evidence of such payments confirming that all Severed Ground Lease Base Rent and all other charges and amounts due and payable under the Severed Ground Leases have been timely paid. As of July 24, 2020, Lessee shall (i) not be required to pay any “Additional Rent” (as defined in the applicable Severed Ground Lease) or other sums due and payable with respect to the Severed Ground Lease Property pursuant to the terms of the applicable Severed Ground Lease and (ii) be released from all obligations, liabilities, and indemnifications under this Lease resulting from any defaults of the Severed Ground Leases for the Severed Ground Lease Property which are not the direct result of Lessee’s failure to make payments of Severed Ground Lease Base Rent. 

3.4.Acknowledgment of Certain Inducement Fees. 

(a)Pharmacy PFDA Lease Inducement Fee. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that (i) Lessor previously paid Lessee a fee in the aggregate amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “Pharmacy PFDA Lease Inducement Fee”), as an inducement for Steward Health and the applicable Facility Lessees to enter into an amendment to the Original Lease and the Pharmacy Improvements PFDA, which Pharmacy PFDA Lease Inducement Fee represented the estimated incremental increase in value that the Pharmacy Improvements Project will cause with respect to the applicable Properties and (ii) such Pharmacy PFDA Lease Inducement Fee was previously added to and included in the applicable Lease Bases for the Properties being improved pursuant to the Pharmacy Improvements PFDA. 

(b)Florence Lease Inducement Fee. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that (i) Florence Lessor previously paid Florence Lessee a fee in the aggregate amount of Six Million and No/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00) (the “Florence Lease Inducement Fee”), as an inducement for Steward Health and Florence Lessee to enter into the Arizona Master Agreement and (ii) such Florence Lease Inducement Fee was previously added to and included in the Lease Base for the Florence Property.   

3.5.Certain Deferred Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the portion of Base Rent related to the Utah Property for the period from July 8, 2020 through August 7, 2020 (the “Deferred Utah Rent”) shall be payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments (each a “Deferred Utah Rent Payment”) over the succeeding twelve (12) month period with the first such installment (which is equal to 1/12th of the Deferred Utah Rent) due on August 12, 2020 and each successive Deferred Utah Rent Payment shall be payable with all other Base Rent at such times and on such terms as provided in this Lease. 

3.6.Lease Severance Fee. 

(a)Generally. As a substitute for future Base Rent which would have been due under this Lease with respect to certain properties located in Katy, Texas and Victory Lakes, Texas, which were severed from this Lease prior to the Effective Date (the “Lease Severance Fee Properties”), Lessee, jointly and severally, shall pay the lease severance fee specified in, and in the manner set forth in, this Section 3.6 (the “Lease Severance Fee”). 

(b)Payment of Lease Severance Fee. Beginning on September 12, 2021, and continuing on the twelfth (12th) day of each calendar month during the Term until October 31, 

53

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

2031 (prorated for the partial payment period ending on such date), Lessee, jointly and severally, shall pay to Lessor, in advance and without notice, demand, set off, or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America, at such place and in such manner as specified for the payment of Rent in Section 3.1, the Lease Severance Fee as calculated pursuant to Section 3.6(c), and subject to adjustment as specified in Section 3.6(e).

(c)Amount of Lease Severance Fee Payment. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.6(e), the monthly payment of the Lease Severance Fee shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) Eight Million One Hundred Four Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Five and 18/100 Dollars ($8,104,635.18), multiplied by (ii) the Severance Fee Rate, divided by (iii) twelve (12).

(d)Severance Fee Rate. The term “Severance Fee Rate” shall mean Nine Percent (9.0%), subject to adjustment pursuant to the Severance Fee Escalator as provided in Section 3.6(e).

(e)Adjustment to Severance Fee Rate. On each Adjustment Date during the Term, the Severance Fee Rate shall be increased (and in no event decreased) and shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Severance Fee Rate previously in effect, and (ii) the product of such previous Severance Fee Rate and the percentage by which the CPI published for the month of October prior to the applicable Adjustment Date shall have increased over the CPI figure published for the month of October prior to the previous Adjustment Date, with such sum being the new Severance Fee Rate (in each case, such escalator used in calculating the adjusted Severance Fee Rate being referred to herein as the “Severance Fee Escalator”); provided, however, that the Severance Fee Escalator shall not be less than One Percent (1.0%) or greater than Four Percent (4.0%).

(f)Unknown Variables. For any monetary increases or adjustments to the Severance Fee Rate that cannot be determined as of the applicable Adjustment Date due to then unknown variables (such as CPI), such amounts shall become due (and calculated retroactively to the Adjustment Date) and payable as of the time of determination.

(g)Option to Pay Lump Sum Lease Severance Fee. At any time during the Term, Lessee may, at its option, in lieu of making future Lease Severance Fee payments pursuant to Section 3.6(b), pay Lessor an amount equal to the Lump Sum Severance Fee (as defined in this Section 3.6(g)), in which case, Lessee shall have no further or additional obligation with respect to the Lease Severance Fee and the Lease Severance Fee shall be deemed paid in full. The “Lump Sum Severance Fee” shall be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) Eight Million One Hundred Four Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Five and 18/100 Dollars ($8,104,635.18) and (ii) the sum of all remaining monthly Lease Severance Fee payments for the remainder of the Term during which the Lease Severance Fee is payable, discounted to present value at a rate equal to the 5-Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus Two Percent (2%) per annum in effect upon the date of determination.

(h)Effect of Sale.  If the applicable Facility Lessor sells its interest in a Lease Severance Fee Property, then Lessee shall receive, without duplication, (i) a credit against Lessee’s obligation to make future Lease Severance Fee payments in the amount of Net Proceeds (as herein defined) received by Lessor; and (ii) in the event that the Net Proceeds received by Lessor exceed the amount of future Lease Severance Fee payments (or if there are no future Lease Severance Fee payments as a result of Lessees having paid the Lump Sum Severance Fee), the remaining Net 

54

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

Proceeds received by Lessor up to the aggregate amount of Lease Severance Fee payments made by Lessee (including, if applicable, payment of the Lump Sum Severance Fee).  As used herein, “Net Proceeds” means an amount equal to the net sale proceeds received by the applicable Facility Lessor, as adjusted for Lessor’s carrying costs for the applicable Lease Severance Fee Property (including, without limitation, taxes, utilities, insurance, security, and property management fees), and Lessor’s transaction expenses incurred in connection with such sale (including, without limitation, taxes, legal fees, and brokerage commissions).

(i)Event of Default. For avoidance of doubt, Lessee’s failure to make any Lease Severance Fee payment when the same is due and payable shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 16.1(a) of this Lease, subject to the applicable notice and cure periods set forth in Section 16.1(a) of this Lease.

3.7.Advance for Capital Improvements.  Contemporaneously herewith, Lessor has funded the aggregate amount of Seventy-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00) (the “Funding Amount”) to Lessee for anticipated Capital Additions (and other improvements and renovations) to the Tenet Properties, which, upon completion in each case, shall be deemed Capital Additions funded by Lessor for all purposes under the Master Lease.  From and after the Effective Date, the Funding Amount shall accrue interest at Three Percent (3%) per annum and, upon completion of such Capital Additions (and other improvements and renovations), such portions of the Funding Amount utilized in respect thereof shall be added (together with accrued interest) to the Allocated Lease Base for the applicable Tenet Property.  Lessee shall utilize the entire Funding Amount for such Capital Additions (and other improvements and renovations) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than August 31, 2024.  If any portion of the Funding Amount has not been utilized for such Capital Additions (and other improvements and renovations) by August 31, 2024, then Lessee shall repay to Lessor such unused Funding Amount with accrued interest through August 31, 2024. Lessee shall complete all Capital Additions (and other improvements and renovations) pursuant to the applicable provisions of Articles IX and X hereof and shall provide periodic written updates no less frequently than monthly to Lessor with respect to the status thereof and the corresponding use of the Funding Amount.

ARTICLE IV.
IMPOSITIONS

4.1.Payment of Impositions.  Subject to and without limiting Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, with such payments to be made directly to the taxing or assessing authorities, unless, in the case of escrows and deposits, such Impositions are required to be paid to Lessor or a Facility Lender as provided in Section 3.2, and Lessee will promptly furnish to Lessor copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments.  Lessee’s obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date that any such Imposition becomes 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, without Lessor’s consent 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 (subject to and without limiting Lessee’s right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article XII and subject to the requirement 

55

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

to pay escrows and deposits as required in Section 3.2) as the same respectively become due.  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, and 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 with respect to any Imposition paid by Lessee, the same shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee.  Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide any data (i) that is maintained by the party to whom the request is made, and (ii) that pertains to the Leased Property, as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports.  In the event that any Governmental Body classifies any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Lessee shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file.  Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property.  In the event that Lessor is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Lessee will be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Lessee to file a protest.  So long as no Event of Default exists, Lessee may, 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, at Lessee’s expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action.  Billings for reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of personal property taxes shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are made.

4.2.Adjustment of Impositions.  Impositions that are levied or assessed with respect to the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates, shall be adjusted and prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Lessee’s obligation to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such termination.

4.3.Utility Charges.  Lessee will contract for, in its own name, and will pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, sewer, water and other utilities used in connection with the Leased Property during the Term, including, without limitation, all impact and tap fees necessary for the operation of the Facilities.

4.4.Insurance Premiums.  Subject to Section 13.1(a), Lessee shall contract for, in its own name, and shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article XIII during the Term (the “Insurance Premiums”); provided, however, if required by Lessor pursuant to Section 3.2, such Insurance Premiums shall be paid as required under Section 3.2.

4834-1440-2281v12

 

ARTICLE V.
ABSOLUTE NET LEASE; NO TERMINATION; TERMINATION WITH RESPECT TO FEWER THAN ALL PROPERTIES

5.1.Absolute Net Lease; No Termination.  The parties understand, acknowledge and agree that this is an absolute net lease and this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Base Rent and the payments of Additional Charges throughout the Term.  Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that all charges, assessments or payments of any kind are due and payable without notice, demand, set off or counterclaim (other than notices to Lessee that are expressly required hereunder) and shall be paid by Lessee as they become due and payable.  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 (except as expressly provided herein), 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, any Property from whatever cause or any Taking of any Property or any portion thereof (except as expressly provided herein), (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Lessee’s use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the 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) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing other than a discharge of Lessee from any such obligations as a matter of law.  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 or by termination of this Lease other than by reason of an Event of Default.  

5.2.Termination with Respect to Fewer than All Properties.  Wherever in this Lease the action of terminating this Lease with respect to a particular Property (or action of similar import) is described or permitted, such action shall mean the termination of Lessee’s rights in and to such Property.  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if this Lease shall be terminated by Lessor or Lessee pursuant to rights granted hereunder with respect to any particular Property, such termination shall not affect the Term of this Lease with respect to the balance of the Leased Property relating to Properties not so terminated and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to such portion of the Leased Property, except that (a) the total Base Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of Allocated Base Rent with respect to the Property as to which this Lease has been so terminated, (b) all references herein to Leased Property shall thereafter no longer include such terminated Property, (c) the terminated Property shall no longer be leased hereunder, and (d) provided that all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder with respect 

57

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

to such portion of the Leased Property (excluding unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full to Lessor, the relevant Facility Lessee shall no longer be a Facility Lessee hereunder or a party hereto with respect to such Property (and for the avoidance of doubt, if all Properties of a Facility Lessee shall have been so terminated, such Facility Lessee shall no longer be a Facility Lessee hereunder or a party hereto); subject, however, to Lessor’s right, in the event of any such termination because of an Event of Default, to recover damages with respect to any such terminated Property. 

ARTICLE VI.
OWNERSHIP OF LEASED PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY

6.1.Ownership of the Leased Property.  Lessee acknowledges that the Leased Property is the property of Lessor and that Lessee has only the right to the possession and use of the Leased Property as a lessee of Lessor and upon and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease. 

6.2.Lessee’s Personal Property.  Lessee, at its expense, shall install, affix, assemble and place on the Leased Property the Lessee’s Personal Property. Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that no Event of Default then exists), remove any of Lessee’s Personal Property from the Leased Property except for removal (a) of inventory, (b) because of damage, obsolescence, upgrade or replacement or (c) in the ordinary course of Lessee’s Business.  Lessee shall provide and maintain during the entire Term all such Lessee’s Personal Property as shall be necessary to operate each Property in material compliance with all licensure and certification requirements, in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry for the Primary Intended Use.  Following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any one or more of the Properties and subject to Lessor’s option to purchase such Lessee Personal Property as provided in Section 34.1, Lessee agrees that all of Lessee’s Personal Property relating to such one or more Properties (for which Lessor has authorized removal as provided above) not removed by Lessee within fifteen (15) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect thereto shall be considered abandoned by Lessee and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Lessor (at Lessee’s cost) with prior written notice thereof to Lessee, without any payment to Lessee and without any obligation to Lessee to account therefor.  Lessee will, at its expense, restore the Leased Property and repair all damage to the Leased Property caused by the installation or removal of Lessee’s Personal Property, whether affected by Lessee, Lessor, any Lessee lender, or any Facility Lender.

ARTICLE VII.
CONDITION AND USE OF LEASED PROPERTY

7.1.Condition of the Leased Property.  Lessee acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and that Lessee has examined and otherwise has acquired knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purpose hereunder.  Lessee is leasing the Leased Property “as is” and “where is” in its present condition. Lessee has not relied on any representation or warranty by Lessor and hereby waives any claim or action against Lessor in respect of the 

58

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

condition of the Leased Property.  LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, SUITABILITY, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE.  LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT.  ACCORDINGLY, LESSEE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LESSOR HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT MAKE, NOR SHALL LESSOR BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL WARRANTIES THAT THE LEASED PROPERTY IS FREE FROM VICES, DEFECTS AND DEFICIENCIES, WHETHER HIDDEN OR APPARENT OR ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE FITNESS, DESIGN OR CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OF SUCH LEASED PROPERTY.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.1 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED, AND ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY WARRANTIES BY LESSOR, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR CREATED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WITH RESPECT TO THE CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY. 

7.2.Use of the Leased Property.  Each Property shall be used and operated as a healthcare facility or in such manner as is consistent with its current use and for such other legal ancillary uses as may be necessary in connection with or incidental to such uses and, in each case, subject to all covenants, restrictions, easements and all other matters of record (including those set forth in the Permitted Exceptions) relating to the applicable Property (individually with respect to each Property, and collectively as to all Properties, the “Primary Intended Use”). Lessee shall be in material compliance with all Legal Requirements and Healthcare Laws and shall maintain all material Licenses and Participation Agreements, including, but not limited to, Medicare and/or Medicaid certifications, provider numbers and agreements, certificates of need, governmental approvals, and full accreditation from all applicable governmental authorities, if any, that are necessary for the operation of the Business with respect to the applicable Property consistent with the Primary Intended Use; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict a Facility Lessee from terminating, amending, restating, extending, supplementing, or modifying any Participation Agreement in the ordinary course or as may be required by applicable law (other than any termination of any Participation Agreement relating to rights to payment or reimbursement from Medicare, which termination is hereby expressly prohibited). 

(a)Except as expressly authorized herein, Lessee shall not use any Property for any use other than as provided herein, to the extent such change in use or decrease has a material adverse effect on the Primary Intended Use or the ability of the Lessee to meet its obligations under this Lease, without the prior written consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

(b)No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property and no acts shall be done which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Leased Property or any part thereof, nor shall Lessee sell or otherwise provide to residents or patients therein, or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Leased Property any article which is 

59

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

prohibited by law or by the standard form of fire insurance policies, any other insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriters regulations.  Lessee shall, at its sole cost, comply, in all material respects, with all of the requirements, covenants and restrictions pertaining to the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all of the Permitted Exceptions, and other requirements of any insurance board, association, organization or company necessary for the maintenance of the insurance, as herein provided, covering the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property.

(c)Lessee shall operate the Leased Property only in accordance with the Primary Intended Use and as a provider of goods and services incidental thereto.

(d)Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed any material waste on the Leased Property, or in any of the Facilities, nor shall Lessee 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 funded by Lessor, or Lessee’s Personal Property, to be used in such a manner as (i) could reasonably tend to impair Lessor’s (or Lessee’s, as the case may be) title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (ii) may reasonably make possible 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.

(f)With respect to each Property, Lessor shall, subject to applicable laws (including but not limited to the Healthcare Laws), have the right and option to erect a sign on such Property stating that such Property is owned by Lessor.  Such sign shall be in a size, and shall be erected in a location acceptable to Lessor and approved by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Lessor shall be responsible for all costs related to such signage and complying with all Legal Requirements with respect to such signage.

7.3.Lessor to Grant Easements.  From time to time during the Term, upon the request of Lessee, and so long as no Event of Default then exists, and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, Lessor shall, and at Lessee’s cost and expense: (a) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements, (b) release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Leased Property or any portion thereof; (c) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Leased Property for road, highway or other public purposes; (d) execute petitions to have the Leased Property or any portion thereof annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district; (e) execute amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof; and (f) execute and deliver to any Person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and transfers (to the extent of its interest in the Leased Property), but only upon delivery to Lessor of such information as Lessor may reasonably require confirming that such grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is (i) required for, and not materially detrimental to, the proper conduct of the Primary Intended Use on the Leased Property and (ii) does not materially reduce the value of the Leased Property or any portion thereof or does not reduce such value by an amount greater than the amount of any consideration paid to Lessor in connection therewith.

Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee, at its expense, (a) shall comply, in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements applicable to Lessee and the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Facilities and the Leased Property, whether or not compliance therewith shall require structural change in any of the Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property; (b) shall not use the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property for any unlawful purpose; (c) shall procure, maintain and comply with all material Licenses and any other licenses, certificates, certifications, consents, permits, governmental approvals, and authorizations required under the Legal Requirements for any use of the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property then being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any Capital Additions; and (d) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to require under the Tenant Leases that all Tenants acquire and maintain all material Licenses necessary to operate any portion of the Leased Property subleased to them for any appropriate and permitted uses conducted on the Leased Property as may be permitted from time to time hereunder, it being acknowledged by Lessor that any failure by any Tenant under this clause (d) shall not cause (or be deemed to cause) a breach by Lessee of this Section 8.1 unless Lessee has so failed to use commercially reasonable efforts.  Lessee’s use of the Leased Property, the use of all Lessee’s Personal Property used in connection with the Leased Property, and the maintenance, alteration, and operation of the same, and all parts thereof, shall at all times conform in all material respects to all Legal Requirements.  Upon Lessor’s request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all such Licenses that are currently held by Lessee or its Affiliates to the extent applicable to the Leased Property.  Lessee shall indemnify and defend, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and hold Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns harmless from and against and agrees to reimburse Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns with respect to any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, at any time and from time to time by reason or arising out of any breach by Lessee of any of the provisions of this Article VIII or any breach or violation by Lessee of any Legal Requirements, including any and all such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses relating to immaterial violations or breaches of the Legal requirements, except to the extent arising solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its Affiliates.

8.2.Hazardous Materials and Medical Waste. 

(a)Lessee shall ensure that the Leased Property and the operation of the Business thereon complies in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws.

4834-1440-2281v12

 

Use or the conduct of the Business or operation and maintenance of the Leased Property (which Hazardous Materials shall be handled and disposed of in material compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws), Lessee shall not cause any Hazardous Materials to be installed, used, generated, manufactured, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of, or otherwise present in, on or under any Property or in connection with the conduct of the Business thereon in a manner that reasonably could be expected result in a material violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws. No activity shall be undertaken by Lessee on any Property or in connection with the operation of the Business thereon which would cause (i) any Property to become a RCRA Part B treatment, storage or disposal facility of hazardous waste, infectious waste, biomedical or medical waste, (ii) a release of Hazardous Materials from any Property that is reportable within the meaning of CERCLA or SARA or any similar Hazardous Materials Laws, (iii) the discharge of Hazardous Materials into any watercourse, surface or subsurface of body of water or wetland, or the discharge into the atmosphere of any Hazardous Materials, except as authorized under a permit under any Hazardous Materials Laws or at quantities or concentrations below the standard regulated by Hazardous Materials Laws, in a manner that would give rise to a material liability under Hazardous Materials Laws, or (iv) a material violation under RCRA, CERCLA, SARA or any Hazardous Materials Laws with respect to the Property.  Lessee shall, at its sole cost, expense, risk and liability, remove or cause to be removed from any Property all Hazardous Materials generated in connection with the Primary Intended Use and as found in hospital and healthcare facilities, including, without limitation, all infectious waste materials, syringes, needles and any materials contaminated with bodily fluids of any type, character or description of whatsoever nature to the extent required to comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws.  Lessee shall not dispose of any such infectious waste and Hazardous Materials in any receptacles used for the disposal of normal refuse to the extent such disposal is not in compliance in all material respects with any Hazardous Materials Laws.

(b)Lessee shall ensure that the Leased Property and the operation of the Business thereon complies in all material respects with all Medical Waste Laws.  Except for Medical Waste generated, used, installed, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of in the normal course of business regarding the Primary Intended Use or the conduct of the Business (which Medical Waste shall be handled and disposed of in compliance in all material respects with all Medical Waste Laws), Lessee shall not cause any Medical Waste to be installed, used, generated, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of, or otherwise present in, on or under any Property or in connection with the conduct of the Business thereon in a manner that could result in a material violation of any Medical Waste Laws. Lessee shall undertake no activity on any Property or in connection with the operation of the Business thereon which would reasonably be expected to cause a material violation of any Medical Waste Laws. Lessee shall, at its sole cost, expense, risk and liability, remove or cause to be removed from any Property all Medical Waste generated, used, installed, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of by or on behalf of Lessee on such Property to the extent required to comply in all material respects with all Medical Waste Laws.  Lessee shall not dispose of any such Medical Waste in any receptacles used for the disposal of normal refuse to the extent such disposal is not in material compliance with any Medical Waste Laws.

(c)Lessee shall indemnify and defend, at its sole cost and expense, and hold harmless and reimburse the Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, (general and limited) partners, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives, successors and 

62

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

assigns (collectively, the “MPT Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, taxes, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, settlement costs, arbitration costs and any reasonable other expenses for investigating or defending any action or threatened action) (each, a “Claim”) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by any of the MPT Indemnified Parties at any time and from time to time by reason of, arising out of or resulting from (i) events, conditions or circumstances which occurred or existed on, under, in, about, to or from the Property prior to execution of this Lease and that give rise to a liability under Hazardous Materials Laws or Medical Waste Laws, (ii) any liability under Hazardous Materials Laws or Medical Waste Laws arising out of the Lessee’s operation of the Property, or (iii) any Claim arising out of or, in connection with or resulting from any breach by Lessee of  Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) or any other violation of Sections 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) or any Hazardous Materials Laws or Medical Waste Laws by any Person other than the MPT Indemnified Parties, including any and all such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses relating to immaterial violations or breaches of this Section 8.2 or any Hazardous Materials Laws or Medical Waste Laws (collectively, “MPT Damages”), except to the extent any such Claim or MPT Damages is found to have resulted from the, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any MPT Indemnified Party.  All such MPT Damages shall be due and payable by Lessee within thirty (30) days after any MPT Indemnified Party’s demand therefor. 

(d)In the event of any Claim related to Hazardous Materials or Medical Waste on the Property resulting from the assertion of liability by a third party against any MPT Indemnified Party, the applicable Facility Lessor will give Lessee notice of any such third-party Claim, and Lessee shall be jointly and severally obligated to undertake the defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, except to the extent any such Claim is found to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any MPT Indemnified Party.  Lessee shall not settle any such third-party Claim related to Hazardous Materials or Medical Waste on the Property that is asserted against any MPT Indemnified Party without the consent of the MPT Indemnified Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Any of the MPT Indemnified Parties may, by counsel, participate in such proceedings, negotiations or defense, at their own expense.  The MPT Indemnified Parties shall furnish to Lessee in reasonable detail such information as the MPT Indemnified Parties may have with respect to such Claim, including all records and materials that are reasonably required in the defense of such third-party Claim. In the event that Lessee does not collectively defend the third-party Claim in a diligent manner, any MPT Indemnified Party will have the right (at Lessee’s sole expense) to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim and Lessee may elect to participate in such proceedings, negotiations or defense at any time at their own expense.  No MPT Indemnified Party shall settle any such third-party Claim without the consent of Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

(e)Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that, based upon recent environmental reports relating to the Leased Property, the potential for environmental liability for conditions occurring prior to (or existing as of) the Initial Commencement Date for all Facilities is remote; provided, that, such acknowledgment shall not limit or preclude any Claim by the MPT Indemnified Parties.

8.3.Healthcare Laws. 

(a)Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that all compensation paid hereunder between the parties has been determined by the parties through good-faith and arm’s-length bargaining and is believed to represent fair market value for the Leased Property.  No payment made under this Lease is contingent on the referral of any patient or any other business.   Neither Lessor nor Lessee intends any portion of the payments made under this Lease to influence or reward the referral of any patients or other business that will be paid for from any state or federal health care insurance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid or any state medical assistance program.

(b)Lessee hereby covenants, warrants and represents to Lessor that throughout the Term, each Facility Lessee shall: (a) be validly licensed, Medicare and/or Medicaid certified, and, if required, accredited to operate the Facilities in material compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the State in which the applicable Facility is located, federal governmental authorities, and accrediting bodies, including, but not limited to, DHHS and CMS; (b) be certified by and the holder of valid provider agreements with Medicare and/or Medicaid issued by DHHS, DHS and/or CMS and shall remain so certified and shall remain such a holder of such licenses and Medicare and/or Medicaid certifications for it to operate in accordance with the Primary Intended Use; (c) shall comply, in all material respects, with all Healthcare Laws; and (d) not abandon, terminate, vacate or fail to renew any material License or in any way commit any act which will or could reasonably be expected to cause any such material License to be revoked by any federal, state or local governmental authority or accrediting body having jurisdiction thereof.

(c)Lessee represents, warrants and covenants that Lessee, this Lease and all Tenant Leases are, and at all times during the Term will be, in material compliance with all Healthcare Laws. In the event it is determined that any provision of this Lease is in material violation of the Healthcare Laws, the parties in good faith shall renegotiate such provision so that same is in compliance with all Healthcare Laws. Lessee shall take commercially reasonable steps to add to all of its written third party agreements with physicians or physician groups relating to any portion of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all Tenant Leases, that in the event it is determined that such agreement and/or Tenant Lease is in material violation of the Healthcare Laws, such agreement and/or Tenant Lease shall be renegotiated so that same are in material compliance with all Healthcare Laws or terminated. Lessee shall indemnify and defend, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and hold Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, harmless from and against, and shall reimburse Lessor, its Affiliates and their successors and assigns with respect to, any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by Lessor, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, at any time and from time to time by reason, or arising out, of any breach by Lessee of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 8.3 or any violation of any Healthcare Laws, including any and all such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses relating to immaterial violations or breaches of any Healthcare Laws. All such damages and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to Lessor under this Section 8.3 shall be due and payable by Lessee within thirty (30) days after delivery of written demand from Lessor, its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

64

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

8.4.Organizational Covenants.  Lessee shall not permit or suffer, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (a) any material amendment or modification of any Facility Lessee’s Organizational Documents that modifies, adjusts or otherwise eliminates any of the MPT Required Provisions; (b) any dissolution or termination of any Facility Lessee’s existence or sale of substantially all of any Facility Lessee’s assets, whether by sale, transfer, merger, consolidation or otherwise; (c) any division, split-up, split-ff, spin-off, or similar transaction of or with respect to any Facility Lessee (including, without limitation, a division or similar transaction pursuant to Section 18-217 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or other similar provision), or the approval of a plan of division for or with respect to any Facility Lessee; or (d) a change in any Facility Lessee’s state of formation or any Facility Lessee’s name. Lessee has, simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, delivered to Lessor a true and complete copy of each Facility Lessee’s Organizational Documents. Lessee represents and warrants that the Organizational Documents (i) were duly executed and delivered; and (ii) are in full force and effect, binding upon the applicable Facility Lessee, and enforceable in accordance with their terms.

8.5.Covenants under CHS Purchase Agreement. With respect to the CHS Property, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall ensure that the CHS Property, and the operation of the Business thereon comply in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifiers therein contained) with those post-closing covenants, agreements and obligations set forth and described in Sections 10.10 (Employee Matters), 10.11 (Indigent Care Policies), and 10.13 (Medical Staff Matters) of the CHS Purchase Agreement and all other material post-closing obligations set forth therein, in each case, for or within the required time periods described therein.  Lessee shall keep Lessor reasonably apprised of its compliance and progress under this Section and, upon Lessor's request, Lessee shall submit to Lessor a compliance report in reasonable detail describing Lessee's progress and compliance with the foregoing.  Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to limit or modify in any respect any of Lessor’s or its Affiliates’ respective rights and remedies (including consent or approval rights) under the Lease or any of the other Obligation Documents.

8.6.Covenants under Tenet Purchase Agreement. With respect to the Tenet Property, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall ensure that the Tenet Property, and the operation of the Business thereon comply in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifiers therein contained) with those post-closing covenants, agreements and obligations set forth and described in Sections 8.3 (Employee Matters), 8.4 (Medical Staff), 8.5 (Consents to Certain Assignments), 8.7 (Assistance with Agreements), 8.9 (Use of Seller Policies and Procedures), and 8.15 (Lease Guaranties) of the Tenet Purchase Agreement and all other material post-closing obligations set forth therein, in each case, for or within the required time periods described therein.

ARTICLE IX.
REPAIRS

9.1.Maintenance; Repair and Remodel. 

(a)Lessee, at its expense, will keep the Leased Property and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto (and Lessee’s Personal Property) in 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 Article XIV and Article XV, with reasonable promptness, will make all necessary and appropriate repairs thereto of every kind and nature whether interior or exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed or otherwise).  All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably achievable, be at least equivalent in quality to the original work.  Lessee will not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which is reasonably likely to materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any part thereof for the Primary Intended Use.

(b)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, from time to time Lessee may remodel, modify and make additions to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, which remodeling, modifications and additions are not Capital Additions (it being understood that Capital Additions are subject to the requirements of Article X hereof) but which are necessary or advisable for the Primary Intended Use and which permit Lessee to fully comply with its obligations as set forth in this Lease.  Lessee shall undertake any such actions expeditiously and 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 nor significantly impair the revenue producing capability of the Leased Property nor adversely affect the ability of Lessee to comply with the provisions of this Lease, unless such changes are required by applicable law. 

(c)Lessee shall notify Lessor of any and all repairs, improvements, additions, modifications and remodeling made to any portion of a particular Property in excess of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) during any consecutive twelve (12) month period for the applicable Property and obtain consent from Lessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to making such repairs, improvements, additions, modifications or remodeling.  

(d)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Lessor shall not under any circumstances be required to build or 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 or capital in nature, structural or non-structural, 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.

(e)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 for the provision or performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof, or (ii) giving Lessee 

66

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

any right, power or permission to contract for, or permit the performance of, any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Lessor in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor in the Leased Property or any portion thereof.

(f)Unless Lessor conveys any of the Leased Property to Lessee pursuant to Section 34.2 of this Lease, Lessee will, upon the expiration or prior termination of the Term, vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in the condition in which the Leased Property was originally received from Lessor, except as improved, constructed, repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease and except for (i) ordinary wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Lessee to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair during the entire Term), (ii) damage caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, and (iii) damage or destruction as described in Article XIV or resulting from a Taking as described in Article XV, which Lessee is not required by the terms of this Lease to repair or restore.  

9.2.Encroachments; Restrictions.  If any of the Leased Improvements shall, at any time, materially encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjacent to any portion of the Leased Property, or shall materially violate the agreements or conditions contained in any federal, state or local law, restrictive covenant or other agreement affecting the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or shall materially impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Property or any portion thereof is subject, then, promptly upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall, at its expense, subject to its right to contest the existence of any encroachment, violation or impairment, (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall affect Lessor or Lessee or (b) make such changes in the Leased Improvements, and take such other actions, as Lessor reasonably determines, 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 to continue the operation of the applicable Property without such violation, encroachment or impairment.  Any such alteration shall be made in conformity with the applicable requirements of Article X.  Lessee’s obligations under this Section 9.2 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 paid by Lessee and recovered by Lessor under any such policy of title or other insurance, less Lessor’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses to recover such sums.

ARTICLE X.
CAPITAL ADDITIONS

10.1.Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property. 

(a)If no Event of Default has occurred, and no event has then occurred which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, and be continuing, Lessee shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to construct or install Capital Additions on any Property with the 

67

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

prior written consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that such consent is not required with respect to any Capital Addition that will cost less than Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00)). Lessee shall not be permitted to create any Lien on such Property in connection with such Capital Addition, except as provided in Section 10.2.  In order to obtain Lessor’s prior written consent, Lessee shall submit to Lessor in writing a proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any such proposed Capital Addition. In addition, Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessor such additional information relating to such proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably request.  Lessor shall have ten (10) days following receipt of the last information so requested relating to the proposed Capital Addition to respond whether Lessor has approved of such proposed Capital Addition, it being agreed that failure to timely respond shall be deemed a rejection of the proposed Capital Addition.  

(b)Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition on any Property for which Lessee intends to finance with a third-party lender, Lessee shall first grant to Lessor a right of first offer to provide funds to pay for such Capital Addition in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3.  If Lessor declines or is unable to provide such funding, or if the ROFO Exercise Notice is not accepted by Lessee, the provisions of Section 10.2 shall apply.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, unless required by applicable law, no Capital Addition shall be made which would tie-in or connect any portion of a particular Property and/or any Leased Improvements thereon with any other improvements on property adjacent to such Property (and not part of the Leased Property covered by this Lease) including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities, unless Lessee shall have obtained the prior written approval of Lessor, which approval may be granted or withheld in Lessor’s reasonable discretion. All proposed Capital Additions shall be architecturally integrated and consistent with the applicable Property as determined in the reasonable discretion of Lessor.

10.2.Capital Additions Financed by Lessee. If Lessee provides or arranges to finance any Capital Addition with a third-party lender (except for Capital Additions arranged by Lessee but funded by Lessor), this Lease shall be and hereby is amended to provide as follows:

(a)There shall be no adjustment in the Base Rent by reason of any such Capital Addition.

(b)Such Capital Addition shall revert to, and become the property of Lessor upon the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to the applicable Property.

In connection with any such Capital Addition financed by Lessee (or any Person other than Lessor), Lessee shall be permitted to place (or cause to be placed) a Lien on such Capital Addition as collateral for Lessee’s financing, provided, that, in the reasonable determination of Lessor such Lien shall not interfere with Lessor’s ability to finance the applicable Property with first-priority lien, fixed rate debt having a term of at least ten (10) years; it being understood and agreed that (i) Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate in good faith to properly divide such Capital Addition from the applicable Property and to grant such easements and use restrictions as shall be necessary to avoid any disruption of Lessee’s Business on such Property; (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 10.2, such Capital Addition shall remain subject to the other terms and provisions of this Lease; and (iii) upon the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to 

68

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

such Property, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause all such Lien(s) to be released from such Capital Addition and within ten (10) Business Days after such expiration or termination.

10.3.Capital Additions Funded by Lessor

(a)If Lessee desires for Lessor to fund a Capital Addition on the Property, Lessee shall request the same by submitting to Lessor a written request, including a written proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any such proposed Capital Addition (a “Request”).   In addition, Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessor such additional information relating to such proposed Capital Addition as Lessor may reasonably request.  Lessor shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the last of the information so requested to respond by delivering to Lessee (the “ROFO Exercise Notice”) a written offer to fund the proposed Capital Addition, including the proposed terms thereof and the terms of any amendments to this Lease to be executed in connection therewith; it being agreed that Lessor’s failure to timely deliver a ROFO Exercise Notice shall be deemed a rejection of the Request to provide the funding for such proposed Capital Addition. If Lessee accepts the offer set forth in the ROFO Exercise Notice, the parties shall consummate the funding contemplated thereby within sixty (60) days on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Exercise Notice.  If Lessee does not accept the offer set forth in a ROFO Exercise Notice, Lessee may, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of receipt by Lessee of the ROFO Exercise Notice, obtain a commitment to finance a Capital Addition from any Person on terms and conditions no more favorable, in the aggregate, to the applicable lender than those set forth in such ROFO Exercise Notice.  If Lessee does not obtain a commitment for third-party financing before the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Lessee shall not finance such Capital Addition without repeating the foregoing procedures of this Article X.

(b)Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that prior to the Effective Date, Lessor funded to Lessee all amounts required to be funded by Lessor with respect to the “Preferred Lessor Funded Capital Additions” (as defined in Section 10.2(b) of the Original Lease) pursuant to Section 10.2(b) of the Original Lease and such funded amounts are reflected in the Lease Base for the applicable Properties. 

(c)In connection with any Capital Addition funded by Lessor, the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 10.3 shall apply.  The costs of any such Capital Addition funded by Lessor hereunder shall be added to the Lease Base related to the applicable Property as provided on Schedule 3.1(a); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 3.1 hereof, the Allocated Base Rent solely for any such Capital Addition funded by Lessor with respect to (i) any IASIS Property shall be determined at the time of such funding utilizing an adjusted “Applicable Lease Rate” equal to the then current fair market lease rate (as reasonably determined by Lessor in good faith), subject to the applicable Escalator as set forth in Section 3.1(b) hereof and (ii) any New Property or New Project (other than a Massachusetts New Project) that becomes subject to this Lease after June 1, 2021, shall be subject to the New Property/Project Lease Rate.

(d)Lessor and Lessee acknowledge (i) the development and construction of the Sebastian Project pursuant to the Sebastian PFDA, and (ii) that Sebastian Lessor shall provide the funding for the construction and development of the Sebastian Project in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Sebastian PFDA. The construction and development of the Sebastian Project shall be treated as a Capital Addition funded by Lessor for all purposes under this Lease.

16.1.Events of Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (individually, an “Event of Default”) shall constitute Events of Default hereunder:

(a)if Lessee shall fail to make a payment of the Rent or any other monetary obligation when the same becomes due and payable by Lessee under this Lease (including, but not limited to, the failure to pay Insurance Premiums or Impositions) and the same shall remain unpaid for more than ten (10) days following receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor; provided, however, in no event shall Lessor be required to give more than two (2) such written notices hereunder during any consecutive twelve (12) month period; or

(b)if Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and such failure is not cured by Lessee within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor (except that in the event Lessee shall fail to comply with any request pursuant to Sections 38.3 and 38.4 hereof, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after receipt by Lessee of such request from Lessor), unless such failure 

80

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

cannot, in Lessor’s reasonable determination, with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue if, in Lessor’s reasonable determination, Lessee commences to cure such failure within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds with due diligence to complete the curing thereof; provided, however, in no event shall Lessor be required to give more than two (2) such written notices hereunder for Lessee’s failure to observe or perform the same (or repetitive) covenant or condition in any consecutive twelve (12) month period; or

(c)if (i) any Facility Lessee or the Guarantor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or (ii) any Facility Lessee or the Guarantor shall file a petition in bankruptcy as a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act; or (iii) any Facility Lessee or the Guarantor shall be declared insolvent according to any law; or (iv) any Facility Lessee or the Guarantor shall make any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) if the estate or interest of any Facility Lessee in the Leased Property or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of ninety (90) days after commencement thereof or sixty (60) days after receipt by such Facility Lessee of written notice thereof from Lessor (unless such Facility Lessee shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Article XII); or (vi) any petition shall be filed against any Facility Lessee or the Guarantor to declare such Facility Lessee or the Guarantor bankrupt, to take advantage of any insolvency act, or to delay, reduce or modify such Facility Lessee’s or the Guarantor’s capital structure and the same shall not be removed or vacated within ninety (90) days from the date of its creation, service or attachment; or (vii) any Facility Lessee or the Guarantor shall, after a petition in bankruptcy is filed against it, be adjudicated a bankrupt, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order or decree, with or without the consent of such Facility Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be, appointing a trustee, examiner or receiver of such Facility Lessee or the Guarantor or the whole or substantially all of its property, or approving a petition filed against such Facility Lessee or the Guarantor seeking reorganization or arrangement of such Facility Lessee or the Guarantor under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof, and such judgment, order or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within ninety (90) days from the date of the entry thereof; or

(d)if any Facility Lessee shall have any of its material Licenses, material Participation Agreements (including participation or certification in Medicare or Medicaid or any material other third-party payor program) terminated by the applicable government program for fraud or willful violation of the terms of such program; or

(e)a Change of Control Transaction shall occur with respect to any Facility Lessee or Guarantor which is not approved by Lessor in advance; or

(f)if, with respect to any Property, the applicable Facility Lessee that operates the Business at such Property abandons or vacates the same (such Facility Lessee’s absence therefrom for thirty (30) consecutive days shall constitute abandonment) and thereafter fails to comply with any other covenants or conditions set forth in this Lease with respect to such Facility Lessee or such Property (subject to any other applicable notice and cure periods set forth herein); it being understood that such Facility Lessee may cease operations of the Business at such Property 

81

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

so long as such Facility Lessee complies with all other non-operational covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement; or

(g)if any Facility Lessee or the Guarantor shall be liquidated or dissolved, or shall begin proceedings toward such liquidation or dissolution, or shall, in any manner, permit the sale or divestiture of substantially all of its assets, or any such Facility Lessee or the Guarantor shall enter into an agreement respecting same; or

(h)if a “Major Event of Default” shall occur under and as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement or a monetary default shall occur under any other Obligation Document (other than this Lease) which is not waived in writing or cured within the cure period as provided therein; or

(i)if (A) any monetary default or monetary event of default occurs with respect to any Material Obligation of any Facility Lessee or Guarantor which is not waived in writing or cured within the applicable notice and cure period provided by the document evidencing the Material Obligation or (B) any default or event of default occurs with respect to any financial covenant described in Section 6.12 of the ABL Credit Agreement which is not waived in writing or cured within the applicable notice and cure period provided under the ABL Credit Agreement; or

(j)subject to Section 16.6 and 16.7, if, at any time during the Term, for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, EBITDAR of Steward Health and its Subsidiaries shall be less than Two Hundred Percent (200%) of the Realty Payments (as determined utilizing the trailing twelve (12) month operating and financial results of Steward Health and its Subsidiaries and measured on a calendar quarterly basis); or   

(k)subject to Sections 16.6 and 16.7, if, at any time during the Term, for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, EBITDAR of Steward Health and its Subsidiaries shall be less than One Hundred and Ten Percent (110%) of Consolidated Fixed Charges (as determined utilizing the trailing twelve (12) month operating and financial results of Steward Health and its Subsidiaries and measured on a calendar quarterly basis); or

(l)if a monetary or material non-monetary default or event of default shall occur with respect to the landlord’s or lessor’s obligations under any Pass-Through Lease, which is not waived in writing or cured within the cure period as provided therein. 

If an Event of Default has occurred, Lessor shall have the right at its election, then or at any time thereafter, to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (subject to applicable law), in addition to any remedies which may be permitted by law, by other provisions of this Lease or otherwise, without notice or demand, except as hereinafter provided:

A.If Lessee deserts, abandons or vacates any Property (the “Vacated Property”), Lessor may enter upon and take possession of either (i) the Vacated Property; or (ii) if there has occurred a Major Event of Default, any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Properties, regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated from or related primarily to a single Property (whether one or more, and whether pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), the “Entered Property”), to protect it from deterioration and continue to demand from Lessee Rent and other 

82

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

charges as provided in this Lease, without any obligation to relet (except to the extent required by applicable law); but if Lessor does relet the Entered Property (on such terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall deem reasonable), such action by Lessor shall not be deemed an acceptance of Lessee’s surrender of the Entered Property unless Lessor expressly notifies Lessee of such acceptance in writing, Lessee hereby acknowledging that Lessor shall otherwise be reletting as Lessee’s agent and Lessee furthermore hereby agreeing to pay to Lessor on demand any deficiency that may arise between the Rent and other charges as provided in this Lease and that are actually collected by Lessor relating to the Entered Property.

B.Lessor, or anyone acting on Lessor’s behalf, may without notice or demand to Lessee, either (i) enter the Property from which such Event of Default emanated or to which such Event of Default related primarily; or (ii) if there has occurred a Major Event of Default, peaceably enter any one or more (including all, if so elected by Lessor) of the Properties, regardless of whether such Event of Default emanated from or related primarily to a single Property (whether one or more, and whether pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), the “Defaulted Property”), to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations without liability to action for prosecution or damages for such entry or for the manner thereof, and do whatever Lessee is obligated or permitted to do under this Lease. Lessee hereby releases and discharges Lessor and its agents from all claims, actions, suits, damages and penalties for or by reason of any such entry.  Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor on demand for all expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, that Lessor may incur in effecting compliance with Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, and Lessee further agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Lessee from such action.

C.Lessor may immediately terminate Lessee’s right of possession of the Defaulted Property, but not terminate this Lease with respect to the Defaulted Property, and without notice or demand, except as may be required and/or permitted by applicable law, enter upon such Defaulted Property or any part thereof and take absolute possession of the same, and at Lessor’s sole option may relet such Defaulted Property or any part thereof for such terms and such rents as Lessor may reasonably elect.  In the event of such reletting, the rent received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 16.4, and Lessee shall satisfy and pay any deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time.  Any entry into and possession of the Defaulted Property by Lessor shall be without liability or responsibility to Lessee and shall not be in lieu of or in substitution for any other legal rights of Lessor hereunder.  Lessee further agrees that Lessor may file suit to recover any sums due under the terms of this Lease and that no recovery of any portion due Lessor hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought by Lessor for any other amounts not reduced to judgment in favor of Lessor.  Reletting any portion of the Defaulted Property relating to any one or more of the Properties shall not be construed as an election on the part of Lessor to terminate this Lease with respect to such Defaulted Property and, notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for default with respect to the Defaulted Property.

D.Lessor may terminate this Lease with respect to the Defaulted Property (whether one or more, the “Terminated Property”), by written notice to Lessee, in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender to Lessor such Terminated Property, and if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession or arrearages in Rent or any other payments under this Lease (including any interest and payment penalty which 

83

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

may have accrued pursuant to the terms of this Lease), peaceably enter upon and take possession of such Terminated Property and remove the applicable Facility Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying such Terminated Property or any part thereof, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor.  Except as otherwise may be required by applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any statutory requirement of prior written notice for filing eviction or damage suits for nonpayment of Rent or any other payments under this Lease.  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 Section 16.1D, which loss and damage shall be determined, at Lessor’s option, by either of the following alternative measures of damages:

(i)Until Lessor is able to relet such Terminated Property, although Lessor shall be under no obligation to attempt to do so (unless required by applicable law), Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on or before the first day of each calendar month, the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this Lease relating to such Terminated Property.  After such Terminated Property has been relet by Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month the difference between the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this Lease related to such Terminated Property for the preceding calendar month (had this Lease not been terminated) and those actually collected by Lessor with respect to such reletting for that month.  If it is necessary for Lessor to bring suit to collect any deficiency, Lessor shall have the 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 related to such Terminated Property for any calendar month in excess of the monthly Rent (including Additional Charges) herein allocated to such Terminated Property had this Lease not been terminated with respect thereto 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 Rent (including Additional Charges) herein allocated to such Terminated Property had this Lease not been terminated with respect thereto such Terminated Facility, but Lessee shall have no right to any excess other than the above described credit.

(ii)When Lessor desires, Lessor may demand a final settlement with respect to such Terminated Property.  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 Rent (including Additional Charges) allocated to such Terminated Property for the remainder of the Term and the reasonable rental value thereof for such period, with such difference to be discounted to present value at a rate equal to the 5-Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus Two Percent (2%) per annum in effect upon the date of determination.

If Lessor elects to exercise the remedies prescribed in subsections A or B above, this election shall in no way prejudice Lessor’s right at any time thereafter to cancel said election in favor of the remedy prescribed in Section 16.1D or elsewhere in this Lease.  Similarly, if Lessor elects to compute damages in the manner prescribed by Section 16.1D(i) above, this election shall in no way prejudice Lessor’s right at any time thereafter to demand a final settlement in accordance with Section 16.1D(ii).  Pursuit of any of the above remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any 

84

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

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 default.

E.In the event that Lessor has either repossessed a Vacated Property pursuant to Section 16.1A, repossessed a Defaulted Property pursuant to Section 16.1C, or terminated this Lease with respect to one or more (or all, if so elected by Lessor) Defaulted Properties pursuant to Section 16.1D, and Lessor elects to enter upon such portion of the Leased Property as provided herein, Lessor may change, alter, and/or modify the door locks on all entry doors of such portion of the Leased Property, thereby permanently excluding Lessee and its officers, principals, agents, employees, representatives and invitees therefrom, but only to the extent that such exclusion does not interfere with patient care and safety.  Lessor shall not thereafter be obligated to provide Lessee with a key to such portion of Leased Property at any time, regardless of any amounts subsequently paid by Lessee; provided, however, that in any such instance, during Lessor’s normal business hours and at the convenience of Lessor, and upon receipt of written request from Lessee accompanied by such written waivers and releases as Lessor may reasonably require, Lessor may escort Lessee or its authorized personnel to such Leased Property to retrieve any personal belonging or other property of Lessee, whereupon Lessor shall remove such property and make it available to Lessee at a time and place designated by Lessor.  However, Lessee shall pay, in cash in advance, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses estimated by Lessor to be incurred in removing such property and making it available to Lessee and all moving and/or storage charges theretofore incurred by Lessor with respect to such property (plus an additional Seven Percent (7%) thereof to cover Lessor’s administrative costs).  If Lessor elects to exclude Lessee from any Defaulted Property (or all of the Defaulted Properties if so elected by Lessor) without repossessing or terminating pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Lease, then Lessor shall not be obligated to provide Lessee a key to re-enter such Property or Properties until such time as all delinquent Rent has been paid in full and all other defaults, if any, have been completely cured to Lessor’s satisfaction (if such cure occurs prior to any actual repossession or termination), and Lessor has been given assurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor evidencing Lessee’s ability to satisfy its remaining obligations under this Lease.  To the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provision shall override and control any conflicting provisions of any applicable statute governing the right of a lessor to change the door locks of commercial leases.

F.Intentionally Omitted.

G.In addition to any other available remedies, at Lessor’s option, with respect to each Defaulted Property or Entered Property, Lessor shall have those rights (i) to purchase Lessee’s Personal Property in the manner provided in Section 34.1 hereof and (ii) to effect a transfer of the Licenses pursuant to the terms of Article XXXVIII hereof.

H.Exercise any and all other rights and/or remedies granted or allowed to landlords by any existing or future statute or other law of the applicable State where the Entered Property or the Defaulted Property, as applicable, is located.

I.Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to the extent required by applicable law to relet such Property or Properties on such terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole good faith judgment, may determine (including, without limitation, a lease term different than the Term, rental 

85

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

concessions, alterations and repair any such Property); provided, however, that, with respect to any such Property or Properties (i) Lessor shall not be obligated to relet such Property before leasing other vacant space owned or operated by Lessor, (ii) Lessor reserves the right to refuse to lease such Property to any potential tenant that does not meet Lessor’s reasonable standards and criteria for leasing any other comparable space owned or operated by Lessor (it being understood and agreed that it shall be deemed reasonable for Lessor to refuse to lease to a prospective tenant who owns, leases or operates a business similar to that conducted on such Property within  ten (10) miles of any point on or within which such Property is located), and (iii) Lessor shall not be obligated to undertake any greater efforts to relet such portion of the Leased Property than Lessor utilizes to lease any other vacant space owned or operated by Lessor.  In any proceeding in which Lessor’s efforts to mitigate damages and/or its compliance with this subsection is at issue, Lessor shall be presumed to have used reasonable efforts to mitigate damages and Lessee shall bear the burden of proof to establish that such reasonable efforts were not used.

J.No receipt of moneys by Lessor from Lessee after a termination of this Lease with respect to any one or more of the Properties or of Lessee’s rights under this Lease by Lessor with respect thereto shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease with respect to such one or more Properties or affect any notice theretofore given to Lessee, or operate as a waiver of the right of Lessor to enforce the payment of Rent and any related amounts to be paid by Lessee to Lessor then due or thereafter falling due, it being agreed that after the commencement of suit for possession of any such Property, or after final order or judgment for the possession of any such Property, Lessor may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such suit, order or judgment, all such money collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupation of any such Property or, at the election of Lessor, on account of Lessee’s liability hereunder.  Lessee hereby waives any and all rights of redemption provided by any law, statute or ordinance now in effect or which may hereafter be enacted.

K.No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other legal or equitable right or remedy given hereunder, or at any time existing.  The failure of Lessor to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent or any other payment due under the terms of this Lease 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.  Lessor and Lessee agree that no waiver shall be effective hereunder unless it is in writing. 

L.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, or any other provisions of this Lease or any other Obligation Document, if Lessor is exercising remedies due solely to an Event of Default caused by the failure to comply with the obligations set forth in Sections 16.1(e), (h), or (i) above (each, a “Limited Remedy Event of Default”), the aggregate amount Lessee shall be required to pay to Lessor from and after the date of the occurrence of such Limited Remedy Event of Default (the "Occurrence Date") for all damages incurred by Lessor, including without limitation, any costs incurred to relet the Property, tenant improvement costs, and brokerage commissions, shall be limited to the sum of (i) the present value as of the Occurrence Date, 

86

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

discounted at the annual rate equal to Seven and One-Half Percent (7.50%) per annum in effect upon the date of determination, of all basic rent for the unexpired portion after the Occurrence Date of the Term devised herein as if this Lease had not expired or been terminated, (ii) any Additional Charges which are due and payable or have accrued under this Lease through the Occurrence Date, and (iii) any Additional Charges which are due and payable or have accrued under this Lease after the Occurrence Date while the Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Property and which relate to Real Estate Taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance, environmental maintenance, remediation and compliance and other routine and customary costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the Leased Property in substantial compliance with the terms of this Lease. Furthermore, additional reimbursement for any unpaid damages caused solely by a Limited Remedy Event of Default may not be claimed by Lessor under any other provision of this Lease or Obligation Documents.  In the event of a conflict between the provisions under this Section 16.1L and any other provision of any other Obligation Document with respect to the subject matter of this Section 16.1L, the provisions contained in this Section 16.1L shall prevail.

16.2.Additional Expenses.  It is further agreed that, in addition to payments required pursuant to Section 16.1 above and the provisions of Section 39.3, Lessee shall compensate Lessor and its Affiliates for (a) all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates in enforcing the provisions of this Lease and in repossessing the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including among other expenses, any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of all or any portion of the Leased Property); (b) all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates in reletting (including among other expenses, repairs, remodeling, replacements, advertisements and brokerage fees); (c) all concessions granted to a new Tenant or Tenants upon reletting (including among other concessions, renewal options); (d) Lessor’s and its Affiliates’ reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from or related to an Event of Default; and (e) all losses incurred by Lessor and its Affiliates as a direct or indirect result of such Event of Default (including, among other losses, any adverse action by Facility Lenders).

16.3.Waivers.

(a)If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right to a trial by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Article XVI and (ii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that no waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless made under signature of an authorized representative of Lessor.

(b)To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of: (i) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law or any other law which may prevent Lessor from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Lessee or any one or more of the Facility Lessees or the Guarantor, before or after Lessor’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure or similar action or actions, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (ii) any election of remedies by Lessor which destroys or otherwise adversely affects Lessee or any one or more of the Facility Lessee’s or Guarantor’s subrogation rights or rights to proceed against any Person for reimbursement, including, without limitation, any loss of rights Lessee or the Guarantor may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or 

87

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

discharging Lessee’s and Guarantor’s obligations under this Lease or the other Obligation Documents (as applicable); (iii) any right to claim discharge of the obligations under this Lease on the basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for such obligations; or (iv) any defenses given to guarantors, sureties, and/or co-makers at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of Lessee’s and Guarantor’s obligations under this Lease or the other Obligation Documents (as applicable).

16.4.Application of Funds.  Any payments otherwise payable by 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 based on the obligations to which the Lessee made the payments. If the Lessor is unable to determine to which obligations the Lessee intended to make the payments, the Lessor may apply the payments to the obligations in the order which Lessor may reasonably determine.  

16.5.Notices by Lessor.  The provisions of this Article XVI concerning notices shall be liberally construed insofar as the contents of such notices are concerned, and any such notice shall be sufficient if reasonably designed to apprise Lessee of the nature and approximate extent of any default, it being agreed that Lessee is in as good or a better position than Lessor to ascertain the exact extent of any default by Lessee hereunder. 

16.6.Equity Cure Right. 

(a)Notwithstanding Section 16.1(j) and (k), in the event that Lessee fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 16.6, would fail) to comply with the requirements of Section 16.1(j) or (k), until the thirtieth (30th) day subsequent to the earlier of (i) the date Lessee becomes aware of such noncompliance or (ii) the date of delivery of written notice from Lessor to Lessee relating to such failure (the “Equity Cure Expiration Date”), Steward Health shall have the right to issue its equity interests for cash or to receive an equity contribution in respect of its equity interests (the “Equity Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by Steward Health of such cash (the “Specified Equity Contribution”) EBITDAR shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: 

(i)EBITDAR for the applicable calendar quarter (and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter) shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 16.1(j) and (k), by an amount equal to the Specified Equity Contribution; and

(ii)if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Lessee shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 16.1(j) and (k), Lessee shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Section 16.1(j) and (k) as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Event of Default that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Lease.  

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, after the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 16.1(j) and (k), if Lessee has given Lessor notice that Lessee intends to cure such failure with the proceeds of a Specified Equity Contribution, Lessor shall not exercise any rights or remedies under Section 16 available during the continuance of any 

88

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

Event of Default on the basis of any actual or purported failure to comply with Section 16.1(j) or (k) until such failure is not cured on or prior to the Equity Cure Expiration Date.  

16.7.Financial Covenant Testing with Respect to Tenet Property and Certain New Properties. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, with respect to the financial covenants described in Section 16.1(j) and (k), with respect to (a) the Tenet Property and (B) any New Property joined to this Lease on or after the Effective Date, the portion of the earnings and payment obligations of the applicable Facility Lessee attributable to such Tenet Property or such New Property, as the case may be, shall not be subject to and shall not be included in the calculations of compliance with such financial covenants set forth in Section 16.1(j) and (k) until the eighth (8th) full calendar quarter after the Commencement Date applicable to such Tenet Property or such New Property. 

ARTICLE XVII.
LESSOR’S RIGHT TO CURE

Subject to the provisions of Article XII relating to permitted contests, if Lessee 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 16.1, after reasonable written notice to Lessee, Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such reasonable payment or perform such reasonable act for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon any portion of the Leased Property, but only in accordance with Lessee’s reasonable security procedures and all applicable laws, including, but not limited to all Information Privacy and Security Laws, 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 and all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses, in each case, to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, 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 until reimbursed, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.

ARTICLE XVIII.
INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE XIX.
HOLDING OVER

19.1.Holding Over. Except to the extent provided in Section 19.2, if Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession of any Property after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of the Term with respect to thereto, such possession shall be as a tenancy at will, during which time Lessee shall pay, as rental each month, one and one-half (1-1/2) times the aggregate of (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the aggregate Allocated Base Rent relating to such Property payable with respect to the last complete twelve (12) month period prior to the expiration of the Term, (b) all Additional Charges relating to such Property accruing during the month, and (c) all other sums, if any, payable by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property.  

89

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

During such period of tenancy, Lessee shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to tenancies at will, to continue its occupancy and use of such Property.  Except to the extent provided in Section 19.2, 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 XX.
PASS-THROUGH LEASES

(a)With respect to (i) the Hialeah Pass-Through Lease, Hialeah Lessee, (ii) the Hialeah Palmetto Pass-Through Leases, Hialeah Palmetto Lessee, (iii) the Lauderdale Lakes Pass-Through Leases, Lauderdale Lakes Lessee, and (iv) the Miami Pass-Through Lease, Miami Lessee, in each case, shall perform all of the terms, conditions, covenants, duties, and obligations imposed upon Hialeah Lessor, Hialeah Palmetto Lessor, Lauderdale Lakes Lessor, and Miami Lessor, respectively, under the applicable Pass-Through Lease, in each case, to be performed by such Facility Lessors, as landlord until the earlier of (A) the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or Lessee’s right of possession hereunder) (subject to Article XIX for any holdover periods), and (B) the termination of any such Pass-Through Lease, as applicable. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that all such terms, conditions, covenants, duties, and obligations as lessor or landlord under the Pass-Through Leases that accrue or arise prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or Lessees’ right of possession hereunder) (including any holdover period pursuant to Article XIX) shall remain the obligations and liabilities of Lessee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 20.1, during the Term, Hialeah Lessor, Hialeah Palmetto Lessor, Lauderdale Lakes Lessor, and Miami Lessor shall reasonably cooperate (at Lessee’s expense) with Hialeah Lessee, Hialeah Palmetto Lessee, Lauderdale Lakes Lessee, and Miami Lessee in their performance of all applicable terms, conditions, covenants, duties, and obligations under the Pass-Through Leases to the extent such terms, conditions, covenants, duties, and obligations are only capable of being performed by such Facility Lessor, as the fee owner of such portions of the Leased Property; provided, however, that (I) Lessor shall be reimbursed by Lessee for any reasonable and documented out of pocket costs or expenses incurred by Lessor with respect to the performance of any such obligations undertaken at the request of Lessee, (II) Lessee understands and is familiar with the extent to which such terms, conditions, covenants, duties, and obligations are only capable of being performed by each applicable Facility Lessor as the fee owner thereof, (III) Lessee shall use its best efforts to provide Lessor with reasonable advanced written notice to enable Lessor to perform any such terms, conditions, covenants, duties, and obligations in a timely manner, and (IV) Lessee shall consult, assist, and otherwise cooperate with Lessor in the performance thereof. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, (X) Hialeah Lessee, Hialeah Palmetto Lessee, Lauderdale Lakes Lessee, and Miami Lessee, respectively, shall be entitled to collect the rental payments due under the respective Pass-Through Leases directly from the tenant thereunder, and (Y) Lessor shall reasonably cooperate with Lessee (at Lessee’s expense) to notify the tenants under the respective Pass-Through Leases that rental payments should be made directly to the applicable Facility Lessee, including, without limitation, by executing and delivering an instruction letter to such tenant instructing them to pay such rental payments directly to such Facility Lessee; provided, that, Lessee agrees and acknowledges that upon the occurrence of an 

90

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

Event of Default, Lessor shall be authorized to revoke any such tenant instruction letter and instruct such tenant to pay all rental payments directly to Lessor (or Lessor’s designee) from and after the occurrence of such Event of Default. 

(b)If any Pass-Through Lease expires or terminates prior to the expiration of the Term, then any property and improvements subject thereto shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, Lessor and Lessee agree that (i) during the Term and prior to the termination and/or expiration of any Pass-Through Lease, the applicable Facility Lessor shall have the right to receive and apply all condemnation awards or insurance proceeds with respect to such Pass-Through Lease in accordance with the ground lessor’s obligations under the applicable Pass-Through Lease, and (ii) during the Term and following the termination and/or expiration of any applicable Pass-Through Lease, any such condemnation awards and insurance proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. 

20.2.Other Terms and Provisions Relating to Pass-Through Leases.

(b)Lessor and Lessee agree that each will, promptly upon receipt, forward to the other copies of all notices, requests, demands, and other correspondence and documents directed to and/or received from the “tenant” or “lessee” under any Pass-Through Lease.

(c)Any and all purchase options, put options, rights of first refusal, or rights of first offer under the Pass-Through Leases shall be (i) exercised in the sole and absolute discretion of Lessor and (ii) at the sole cost and expense of Lessor, and, upon any purchase by Lessor of all or any portion of the Pass-Through Lease Improvements, such Pass-Through Lease Improvements shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease (and shall constitute Leased Improvements hereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by Lessor and Lessee in writing, none of the costs or expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with Lessor’s purchase of any Pass-Through Lease Improvements shall be passed through to Lessee, as an increase to the Lease Base for the applicable Property or otherwise.  

(d)Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, in the event Lessee purchases the Hialeah Property, Hialeah Palmetto Property, Lauderdale Lakes Property, or Miami Property pursuant to any right of first refusal provided to Lessee under the terms of this Lease, with respect to any applicable Pass-Through Lease Property, such purchase shall be subject to all terms, provisions, and conditions of the applicable Pass-Through Lease. In such event, with respect to such Pass-Through Lease, Lessor shall assign its right, title, and interest in such Pass-Through Lease to Lessee and Lessee shall assume such Pass-Through Lease from Lessor, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the parties.

20.3.Reversionary and Other Rights. In the event that there is any purchase option, right of first refusal, reversionary right, or other similar right in favor of the applicable Facility

Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee in connection herewith.

ARTICLE XXIII.
ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND SUBLEASE SUBORDINATION

23.1.Assignment and Subletting.

(a)Lessee shall not assign this Lease without Lessor’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Lessor’s consent shall not be required for an assignment of this Lease to a Qualified Transferee (provided, that, if such assignment is in connection with an asset based transfer, such Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates shall enter into such guaranty agreements, security agreements, assignments of rents and leases, pledge agreements, non-competition agreements, environmental indemnification agreements, and other similar security documents (collectively, the “Qualified Transferee Credit Enhancements”) as are necessary in Lessor’s reasonable determination to assure that Lessor receives such collateral and other credit enhancements as are comparable to those provided by Lessee, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates in connection with this Lease). Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any assignment, provided, that (i) such assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed; and (ii) an original counterpart of the assignment, duly executed by Lessee and such assignee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor; it being understood and agreed, however, that if, in connection with any such assignment, Lessee desires that Lessor release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease, Lessor’s review and approval of any assignee shall be in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion.  The parties agree that Lessor’s failure or refusal to approve an assignment to an assignee that does not have the financial or operating characteristics reasonably satisfactory to Lessor shall be reasonable on its face. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, any assignment must be of all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to this Lease and the Leased Property such that this Lease is not severed with respect to any one or more of the Properties.

(b)Lessee shall not sublease any portion of a particular Property if such Tenant Lease would exceed Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) in annual rent without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Lessee agrees that (i) each Tenant Lease shall comply with the provisions of Sections 23.1(b), 23.2 and 23.3, (ii) subject to Section 23.2, a copy of each such Tenant Lease, duly executed by Lessee and such Tenant in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor and (iii) Lessee shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the 

94

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

obligations, covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder and under all of the other documents executed in connection herewith.  Any modifications, amendments and restatements of any Tenant Leases (but excluding renewals and extensions) hereafter entered into (other than those having less than Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) in annual rent) must be approved by Lessor in accordance with this Article XXIII.  

(c)In no event shall Lessee sublease all or substantially all of any Property without Lessor’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion.

23.2.Sublease Limitations.  In addition to the sublease limitations as set forth in Section 23.1, above, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the Tenant thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the Tenant, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Tenant Lease 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.  Moreover, Lessee shall not sublet any portion of the Leased Property for a term extending beyond the Fixed Term without the express consent of Lessor.  In addition, all Tenant Leases shall comply in all material respects with the Healthcare Laws. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that all Tenant Leases entered into relating to the Leased Property, whether or not approved by Lessor, shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, be deemed to be a direct lease between Lessor and any Tenant.  Lessee agrees that all Tenant Leases executed after the Initial Commencement Date must include provisions to the effect that (i) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, to the rights of Lessor hereunder, and to all financing documents relating to any Facility Loan in connection with the Leased Property, (ii) in the event this Lease shall terminate or be terminated before the expiration of the Tenant Lease, the Tenant will, at Lessor’s option, exercisable at any time in Lessor’s discretion, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the Tenant may have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease, (iii) in the event of a termination of this Lease with respect to all or the applicable Property, at Lessor’s option, exercisable at any time in Lessor’s discretion, the sublease may be terminated or left in place by Lessor, (iv) Tenant shall from time to time upon request of Lessee or Lessor furnish within twenty (20) days from request an estoppel certificate in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lessor or any Facility Lender relating to the Tenant Lease, (v) in the event the Tenant receives a written notice from Lessor or Lessor’s assignees, if any, stating that an Event of Default under this Lease has occurred, the Tenant shall, to the extent specified in such notice, thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under said Tenant Lease directly to the Person giving such notice, or as such Person may direct, and such Tenant shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such notice (all rentals received from the Tenant by Lessor or Lessor’s assignees, if any, as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Lessee under this Lease), and (vi) such Tenant Lease shall at all times be subject to the obligations and requirements as set forth in this Article XXIII.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 23.2 shall be applicable to all tenants, subtenants or licensees of any material portion of the Leased Property, whether under a Tenant Lease or any other written Lease, sublease, license or rental agreement.

23.3.Sublease Subordination and Non-Disturbance.

95

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

(a)With respect to the Existing Subleases, and within twenty (20) days after the Initial Commencement Date, Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant to execute and deliver to Lessor a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement relating to each such Existing Sublease, which subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement shall be in reasonable form mutually satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee.  

(b)At any time during the Term, within twenty (20) days following written request by Lessor with respect to any Tenant, Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any applicable Tenant to execute and deliver to Lessor (a) an estoppel certifying such matters as Lessor may reasonably request, including, without limitation, that such Tenant Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or setting forth the modifications), the term and expiration thereof and the dates to which the Rent has been paid; and/or (b) a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement relating to the applicable Tenant Lease, which subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement shall be in reasonable form mutually satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee. 

(c)Within twenty (20) days from the date of request of Lessor, a Facility Lender or Lessee, with respect to any Tenant, Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant and Lessor shall cause such Facility Lender to enter into a written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to such Facility Lender and such Tenant whereby (i) such Tenant subordinates the Tenant Lease and all of its rights and estate thereunder to the lien of each such mortgage or deed of trust that encumbers the Leased Property or any part thereof and agrees with each such Facility Lender that such Tenant will attorn to and recognize such Facility Lender or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in any such mortgage or deed of trust, 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 the Tenant Lease and (ii) such Facility Lender shall agree that Tenant shall not be disturbed in peaceful enjoyment of the applicable portion of the Leased Property nor shall the applicable Tenant Lease be terminated or canceled at any time, except as specified in the applicable Tenant Lease.

23.4.Existing Subleases.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that there currently exist certain leases, subleases or licenses on the Leased Property, with annual rental payments in excess of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000) as described on Exhibit C (collectively the “Existing Subleases”).  Any material modifications, amendments and restatements of the Existing Subleases or any Tenant Lease hereafter entered into (but excluding renewals and extensions that do not otherwise materially modify or amend the relevant Existing Sublease or Tenant Lease) must be approved by Lessor in accordance with this Article XXIII.   

ARTICLE XXIV.

4834-1440-2281v12

ARTICLE XXX.
TRANSFERS BY LESSOR; SEVERANCE RIGHTS

30.1.Transfers by Lessor.  Lessee acknowledges that Lessor may sell its interest in the Leased Property in whole or in part, and that Lessor may assign its interest in this Lease in whole or in part, in any such case, to any other Person without Lessee’s prior written consent or approval, so long as such Person is not a Non-Permitted Assignee; provided, however, that (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor may sell, assign or transfer any such rights and obligations to a Non-Permitted Assignee without the written consent of Lessee, and (ii) such restrictions to a sale or assignment shall not apply to or otherwise restrict any actions, negotiations or agreements in respect of any Portfolio Sale.  If Lessor or any successor owner of any Property shall convey such Property in accordance with the terms hereof, other than as security for a debt, the grantee or transferee of such Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, 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 relating to such Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.  Lessee agrees that any successor purchaser may exercise any and all rights of Lessor; provided, however, such successor purchaser shall be subject to the same restrictions imposed upon Lessor hereunder. Subject to the execution by a prospective purchaser of a written confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to Lessee,  Lessor may divulge to any such prospective purchaser all information, reports, financial statements, certificates and documents obtained by it from Lessee (including all such information and documents relating to the Guarantor).

30.2.Lessor Severance Rights.  Notwithstanding the unitary nature of this Lease, Lessor may at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, in connection with a partial assignment under Section 30.1 hereof) cause this Lease to be severed with respect to any one or more of the Properties (each, a “Severed Property”).  If Lessor shall desire to sever this Lease pursuant to this Section 30.2, Lessor shall deliver written notice (each, a “Severance Notice”) to Lessee not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date that this Lease shall be severed with respect to the Severed Property or Severed Properties identified in the Severance Notice (such date identified in a Severance Notice, a “Severance Date”).  The Severance Notice shall specify the Severed Property and the Severance Date.  Effective upon a Severance Date, the applicable Severed Property shall no longer be part of the Leased Property under this Lease and such Severed Property shall be deemed to be and shall be leased by Lessor (or an assignee of Lessor) to Lessee for the amount of Rent allocable to such Severed Property pursuant to a separate lease (a “Severed Lease”) upon the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease (except for such provisions as by their terms are not applicable to such Severed Property); it being agreed, however, that the liability of the applicable lessor under the Severed Lease shall be limited to such lessor’s interest in the Severed Property.  The portion of the Base Rent allocable to the Severed Property shall be the Allocated Base Rent for such Severed Property.  Effective upon the Severance Date, (a) the Rent payable with respect to each Severed Property shall no longer be payable by Lessee under this Lease and shall instead be payable under the Severed Lease applicable to such Severed Property, and (b) the parties shall enter into the Severed Lease, an amendment of this Lease, and an amendment of the applicable other Obligation Documents that assures (i) that Lessor continues to receive the benefits currently provided by such Obligations Documents for this Lease as so 

100

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

amended, and (ii) Lessor (or Lessor’s assignee) also receives the benefit of such items (the “Other Credit Enhancements”) under and with respect to the Severed Lease.  For so long as Lessor under this Lease shall be the lessor under a Severed Lease, any such Severed Lease and the related Other Credit Enhancements shall be deemed “Obligation Documents” for all purposes under this Lease, any Event of Default under such Severed Lease or Other Credit Enhancements shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, any Event of Default under this Lease or the other Obligation Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under such Severed Lease, and the lessee(s) under the Severed Lease shall be deemed a “Subsidiary” of Steward Health for purposes of calculating compliance under Section 16.1(j) and (k) and the same or comparable covenant under the Mortgage Loan Agreement.  Lessor will prepare the Severed Lease, the Other Credit Enhancements, the Lease amendment and, if necessary, the amendments to the other applicable Obligation Documents with respect to each Severed Property consistent with the provisions of this Section 30.2 and the parties agree to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered each of the foregoing documents.

ARTICLE XXXI.
QUIET ENJOYMENT

No failure by Lessor to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Lessee any right to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to fail to pay any other sum payable under this Lease, or to fail to perform any other obligation of Lessee hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right by separate and independent action to pursue any claim it may have against Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in this Article XXXI.

APPRAISAL

If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value of any Property, each party, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of the event which makes such determination necessary, shall, by notice to the other, appoint an appraiser (each of whom must be a member of AI and adhere to the USPAP standards in the preparation of the appraisal).  The appraisers thus appointed shall appoint a third appraiser (such third appraiser must also be a member of AI and adhere to the USPAP standards in the preparation of the appraisal) and such third appraiser shall appraise such Property to determine the Fair Market Value thereof; provided, however, that if a party fails to appoint an appraiser within such required period, the sole appraiser appointed shall conduct the appraisal and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such appraisal to be completed within forty-five (45) days following the event which makes such determination necessary.  This provision for determination by appraisal shall be specifically 

102

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

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 one-half (1/2) of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such appraisal.  Any appraisal shall assess the Fair Market Value of the applicable Property or Lessee’s Personal Property as of the date of the event which makes such assessment necessary.

ARTICLE XXXIV.
PURCHASE RIGHTS

34.1.Lessor’s Option to Purchase Lessee’s Personal Property.  Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Major Event of Default, continuing for thirty (30) days beyond any applicable notice and cure period, in addition to other rights and remedies Lessor may have in this Lease and at law and in equity, Lessor shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to purchase from Lessee, all (but not less than all) of the applicable Facility Lessee’s Personal Property with respect to such Facility and all rights title, and interest of the applicable Facility Lessee therein for an amount equal to the then fair market value of the Facility Lessee’s Personal Property with respect to such Facility as determined by independent, third party appraisal reasonably acceptable to Lessor and Lessee, subject in all cases to, and with appropriate price adjustments for, all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, security interests and other encumbrances to which such Personal Property is subject.  If the Lessor determines to exercise its option pursuant hereto, then Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice of its intent to exercise such option and Lessee shall be obligated to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Lessor, its designee or assignee, on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, and without representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, express or implied, all such Facility Lessee’s Personal Property with respect to such Facility and all rights title, and interest of the applicable Facility Lessee therein subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 34.1 to the contrary, the options to purchase granted under this Section 34.1, do not pertain to any of the Licenses, it being understood and agreed that all matters relating to the transfer of the Licenses are addressed in Section 38.4.

34.2.Lessee’s First Right of Refusal. 

(a)Subject to the limitations described in Section 34.2(b) below, upon the expiration of the Fixed Term and during the continuation of the Extension Term, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall have a first refusal option to purchase the Leased Property as provided herein.  In the event that Lessor or its Affiliate receives a bona fide written offer during the Extension Term from an unaffiliated third party in a letter of intent form (which offer the Lessor or its Affiliate intends to accept) to purchase all or any portion of the Leased Property (in each case, a “Third Party Offer”), then Lessor shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following Lessor’s delivery to Lessee of an executed letter of intent) provide Lessee with a copy of such Third Party Offer (the “Third Party Offer Notice”) and Lessee shall have the Decision Period (as hereinafter defined) in which to confirm in writing its intention to purchase all or such portion of the Leased Property (as applicable) on the same terms and conditions contained in the Third Party Offer.  If Lessee shall fail to provide a written response to Lessor within the Decision Period, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its option and Lessor and the third party shall be entitled to proceed with the sale of the 

103

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

Leased Property on the same terms as those set forth in the letter of intent, free and clear of any Lessee rights of first refusal to purchase the Leased Property.  As used herein, the term “Decision Period” shall mean the period of time commencing on the date that Lessee receives the Third Party Offer Notice and ending on the later to occur of (i) the sixtieth (60th) day immediately following the date that Lessee receives the Third Party Offer Notice, or (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day immediately following the date that the Lessor or its Affiliate enters into a binding definitive agreement accepting the Third Party Offer (the “Binding Agreement”).  

(b)If, prior to the closing of any such sale of the Leased Property in accordance with any Third Party Offer, Lessor agrees to reduce the offering price set forth in the Third Party Offer to an amount which is less than ninety-eight (98%) of the original offered amount, or to modify or amend any material terms or conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer or the Binding Agreement such that they are materially more favorable to the third party purchaser than those terms and conditions initially set forth in the Third Party Offer on which the sale of the Leased Property was initially offered to Lessee, then Lessor shall give Lessee written notice thereof and all supporting documentation (the “Revised Sale Terms”).  Lessee shall have fifteen (15) days after the receipt of said notice and Revised Sale Terms in which to confirm in writing its intention to purchase the Leased Property on the same terms and conditions contained in the Third Party Offer or Binding Agreement, as applicable and as modified by the Revised Sale Terms.  If Lessee shall fail to provide a written response to Lessor within such fifteen (15) day time period, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its option and Lessor and the third party shall be entitled to proceed with the sale of the Leased Property free and clear of any Lessee rights of first refusal to purchase the Leased Property.  

(c)If Lessee exercises the foregoing option, then such purchase shall be consummated on the earlier of (i) the closing date specified in the Third Party Offer or Binding Agreement, as applicable, but no earlier than expiration of the Decision Period, or (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day immediately following Lessor’s receipt of Lessee’s written confirmation of Lessee’s intent to exercise its option as provided herein.

(d)In the event that such sale of the Leased Property to such third party fails to close for whatever reason, Lessee shall be entitled to exercise its right of first refusal as provided in this Section 34.2 as to any subsequent Third Party Offer that occurs during the Term of this Lease.  In the event that Lessee shall fail to exercise its option as provided herein, and Lessor shall consummate a sale of the Leased Property to such third party during the Term, then the Lessee shall remain entitled to exercise its right of first refusal as provided in this Section 34.2 as to any subsequent sale or transfer during the Term by such third party of the Leased Property which is subject to Lessee’s right of first refusal granted herein.

(e)In addition to the conditions and limitations set forth in Section 34.2(a), Lessee’s first refusal option with respect to the Leased Property shall not apply to or otherwise restrict any actions, negotiations or agreements in respect of (i) the sale, transfer of other disposition of the Leased Property to any unaffiliated third party third party prior to the expiration of the Fixed Term, or (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Leased Property which constitutes a Portfolio Sale.

ARTICLE XXXVII.
SUBORDINATION AND NON‐DISTURBANCE

At the request from time to time by one or more Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility Lessee, within twenty (20) days from the date of request, such Facility Lessee shall execute and deliver within such twenty (20)-day period, to such Facility Lender, an estoppel certificate along with a written agreement in form and content reasonably acceptable to such Facility Lender and Facility Lessee whereby, as to any Property of such Facility Lessee encumbered by a Facility Instrument of such Facility Lender, such Facility Lessee subordinates this Lease and all of its rights and estate hereunder to each such Facility Instrument and agrees with each such Facility Lender that such Facility Lessee will attorn to and recognize such Facility Lender or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in any such Facility Instrument, as the case may be, as Lessor under this Lease with respect to such Property for the balance of the Term then remaining, subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that each such Facility Lender simultaneously executes and delivers to such Facility Lessee a written agreement in form and content reasonably acceptable to such Facility Lessee consenting to this Lease and agreeing that, notwithstanding any such other 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, such Facility Lessee shall not be disturbed in peaceful enjoyment of such Property nor shall this Lease be terminated or canceled at any time, except as a result of an Event of Default.

MISCELLANEOUS

39.1.General.  The parties agree that each provision of this Lease shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Lease or any application of this Lease to any party or otherwise) is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision or application shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Lease or any other applications of this Lease.  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.  All the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns (subject to Article XXIII); provided, however, that (a) this Lease shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee pursuant to an assignment which violates the terms of this Lease and (b) neither this Lease nor any other document or agreement contemplated under this Lease shall be deemed to confer upon any Person not a party (other than any Non-Recourse Party with respect to Section 39.7) to this Lease any rights or remedies contained in this Lease.  The headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect its meaning. 

39.2.Bankruptcy Waivers.

(a)Unitary and Non-Severable Lease.  The parties agree that for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365 or any amendment or successor section thereof, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease dealing with and covering one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Leased Property covered hereby.

(b)Relief from Stay.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that in the event any Lessee or any Leased Property relating to any Facility shall become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency estate, then (i) Lessee shall not oppose any request by Lessor to obtain an order from the court granting relief from the automatic stay pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code so as to permit the exercise of all rights and remedies pursuant to this Lease, and (ii) the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default under this Lease shall, in and of itself, constitute “cause” for relief from the automatic stay pursuant to the provisions of Section 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, based on the fact that the non-existence of a bankruptcy proceeding was a material inducement for the entry by Lessor into this Lease.

(c)Automatic Stay.  Lessee hereby waives the stay imposed by 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a) as to actions by the Lessor against each Facility.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that in the event of the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy by or against 

108

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

Lessee, it shall not assert or request that any other party assert that the automatic stay provided by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lessor to enforce any rights or remedies held by virtue of the Lease or applicable law.

(d)Patient Care Ombudsman.  Lessee hereby agrees (i) to use its best efforts to contest the necessity of the appointment of a Patient Care Ombudsman for such Facility as that term is defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 333, and/or (ii) to join with Lessor in requesting a waiver of or contesting the appointment of such a Patient Care Ombudsman.

39.3.Lessor’s Expenses.  In addition to the other provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 16.2 hereof, Lessee agrees and shall pay and/or reimburse Lessor and its Affiliates’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of reports and investigations and reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred or resulting from or relating to (a) requests by Lessee for approval or consent under this Lease or any other Obligation Document (including any consents relating to management, the placing of liens on Lessee’s Personal property and any intercreditor issues which arise in connection with any Material Obligations), (b) any circumstances or developments which give rise to Lessor or its Affiliates’ right of consent or approval under this Lease or any other Obligation Document, (c) a request for changes, including, but not limited to, (i) the permitted use of the Leased Property, (ii) alterations and improvements to the Leased Improvements, (iii) subletting or assignment, and (iv) any other changes in the terms, conditions or provisions of this Lease or any other Obligation Document, and (d) enforcement by Lessor or its Affiliates of any of the provisions of this Lease or any other Obligation Document.  Such expenses and fees shall be paid by Lessee within thirty (30) days of the submission of a statement in reasonable detail for the same or such amount(s) shall be subject to interest at the Overdue Rate from the expiration of said thirty (30) day period to the date of payment, plus a Late Payment Penalty with respect to such unpaid amount.

39.4.Prevailing Party Expenses.  In addition to the other provisions of this Lease but subject to the provisions of Section 39.3, if any of the Lessee Parties on the one hand or the Lessor Parties on the other hand brings any action, suit or other legal action or proceeding to enforce or establish any right of such party under this Lease, the party prevailing in such action, suit or proceeding shall be entitled to recover all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection therewith, including, without limitation, court costs and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees.

39.5.Entire Agreement; Modifications; Effect of Amendment and Restatement.  This Lease, together with all exhibits, schedules and the other documents referred to herein, embody and constitute the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and statements (oral or written) are merged into this Lease. This Lease amends, restates, and supersedes, in all respects, the Original Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth in this Lease shall limit or eliminate any existing continuing indemnification or other obligations of Lessee or any indemnnification obligation relating to a “Severed Lessee” (as defined or more particularly identified in any Severed Facility Amendment) set forth in any Severed Facility Amendment with respect to (a) any Severed Facility 

109

 

4834-1440-2281v12

 

regarding any acts, omissions, or events occuring or accruing prior to the effective date of the severance of such Severed Facility or (b) Severed Ground Lease Base Rent, in each case, in accordance with the terms of such Severed Facility Amendment , except to the extent any claim giving rise to such indemnification is found to have resulted from any MPT Indemnified Party's bad faith or willful misconduct. Neither this Lease, any exhibit or schedule attached hereto, nor any provision hereof or thereof may be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by Lessor and Lessee.

39.6.Lessor Securities Offering and Filings.
