NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises, representations and warranties set forth
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, it is hereby agreed as
follows:

 

1.             Certain
Definitions.  As used herein, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

“Actual EBITDA”
for any year means EBITDA for such year, provided that (i) if, during
such year, the Company or any Subsidiary acquires (an “Acquisition”) (A)
capital stock (or other equity interests) of any person (other than a person
which was, prior thereto, a Subsidiary), whether by acquisition, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, and, by virtue of such acquisition, the results of
operations of such person for any portion of such year were consolidated with
those of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the preparation of the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for such year or (B) all or substantially all
of the assets of any person or any operating unit of any person, and, in either
case, such Acquisition was not contemplated in the preparation of Budgeted
EBITDA for such year, the results of operations of

 

 

such person or
attributable to such assets and the costs and expenses (including financing
costs) incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with, or arising
out of, such Acquisition shall be disregarded in the calculation of Actual
EBITDA for such year, (ii) if, during such year, the Company or any Subsidiary
disposes of (a “Disposition”) (A) the capital stock (or other equity interests
of any person, whether by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise or (B) all
or substantially all of the assets of any operating unit of the Company or any
Subsidiary and, in either case, such Disposition was not contemplated in the
preparation of Budgeted EBITDA for such year, the results of operations of such
person or attributable to such assets for periods prior to the Disposition and
the costs and expenses incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary in connection
with, or arising out of, such Disposition shall be disregarded in the
calculation of Actual EBITDA for such year and (iii) in determining Actual
EBITDA for any year, the Committee may (but will not be required to) increase
(but not decrease) EBITDA by an amount that the Committee reasonably deems to
be appropriate to eliminate or offset the effects upon EBITDA for such year of
events the Committee deems extraordinary or unusual in nature.

 

“Affiliate” of a
person shall mean any other person that directly or indirectly controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with the person specified.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “control,”

during such year, as specified in the definitive annual budget of the Company
for such year approved by the Board, provided that, if the Company or
any Subsidiary during any year consummates a Disposition that was not
contemplated by the Budgeted EBITDA, for such year,  the term “Budgeted EBITDA” will not include the amount of
EBITDA included therein in respect of the assets or business that was the
subject of such Disposition

 

“Cause” shall mean
(i) the willful or repeated failure of the Executive to perform his obligations
hereunder as provided herein, provided that such Cause shall not exist
unless the Company shall first have provided the Executive with written notice
specifying in reasonable detail the factors constituting such failure and such
failure shall not have been cured by the Executive within 30 days after such
notice; (ii) the conviction of the Executive of a crime which constitutes
a felony involving moral turpitude under applicable law or the entering by him
of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere with respect thereto;
(iii) the commission by the Executive of any act involving fraud,
misappropriation of Company funds or other gross misconduct injurious to the
Company; (iv) the good faith determination by the Board that the Executive
is dependent upon alcohol or drugs; or (v) the determination by the Board
that the Executive has violated in any material respect the provisions of
Sections 4(c) or 13(c) hereof.

the date of this Agreement.

mean the Compensation Committee of the Board.

 

“Constructive
Termination Without Cause” shall mean a termination of the Executive’s
employment at his initiative as provided in Section 10(d) below following the

material employee benefit or perquisite enjoyed by him during the term of this
Agreement or the Prior Agreement; (ii) the failure to elect or reelect the
Executive to any of the positions in the Company described in Section 4(a)
below or removal of him from any such position; (iii) a material diminution in
the Executive’s duties or the assignment to the Executive of duties which are
materially inconsistent with his other duties or which materially impair the
Executive’s ability to function as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company;
(iv) the relocation of the Company’s executive office, or the Executive’s
own office location as assigned to him by the Company, to a location more than
50 miles from New York, New York; (v) the failure of the Company to obtain the

Agreement by any successor to the business of the Company on or prior to the
date of a merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction; or (vi) the

in each case for such period.  All
components of EBITDA shall be determined on a consolidated basis in accordance
with generally acceptable accounting principles in the United States as in
effect as of the date of the determination of Budgeted EBITDA for such period,
consistently applied by the Company for all periods during the Term.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, EBITDA shall
for all purposes of this Agreement be calculated for each year without
recognition of any expense incurred in connection with (i) any bonuses
paid or payable to the Executive or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
(ii) any Restricted Shares and Additional Restricted Shares (as defined
herein and in the Prior Agreement) heretofore or hereafter granted to those

the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

3.             Term.  Unless sooner terminated in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10 hereof, the term of the Executive’s
employment under this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2004 and shall end
on January 2, 2007 (the “Term”).

 

4.             Position and
Duties.  (a)  During the Term, the Executive shall serve
as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and shall have the authority,
functions, duties, powers and responsibilities normally associated with such
positions and as from time to time may be prescribed by the Board.  The Executive agrees, subject to his
election as such and without additional compensation, to serve during the Term
in such additional offices of comparable stature and responsibility to which he
may be elected from time to time in the Company’s Subsidiaries and to serve as
a director and as a member of any committee of the Board and as a director of
the Company’s Subsidiaries.

 

(b)           During the Term and
subject to the provisions of Section 4(c), (i) the Executive’s services shall

be the executive offices of the Company in the greater New York City area,
subject to such reasonable travel as the performance of his duties in the
business of the Company may require.

 

(c)           During the Term, the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent
of the Board, render any services to any person (other than the Company and its
Subsidiaries and other persons in which the Company may have an interest), or
acquire any interest of any type in any such other person that is in
competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in conflict with his
full-time, exclusive position as a senior executive officer of the Company; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit the

 

4

 

Executive from (i)
acquiring, solely as an investment, securities of any person which are
registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and which are publicly traded, so long as he is
not part of any group required to make any filing under Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act in respect of such person and such securities do not constitute 2%
or more of any class of outstanding securities of such person, (ii) acquiring,
solely as an investment, any securities of any person (other than a person that
has outstanding securities covered by the preceding clause (i)) so long as he
remains a passive investor in such person and does not become part of any
control group thereof and so long as such person is not, directly or
indirectly, in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
(iii)(A) serving on the boards of directors of a reasonable number of other
corporations (none of which are in competition with the Company or its
Subsidiaries) or the boards of a reasonable number of trade associations and/or
charitable organizations or, with the prior written consent of the Committee,
to provide consulting services for any such corporation, trade association
and/or charitable organization, (B) engaging in charitable activities and
community affairs and (C) managing his personal investments and affairs, provided
that the activities referred to in this clause (iii) do not in the aggregate
interfere in any material respect with the proper performance of his duties and
responsibilities as the Chief Financial Officer.  For purposes of the foregoing, a person shall be deemed to be in
competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if it (or its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates) is then engaged in any line of business that is
substantially the same as any line of business in which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is engaged.

 

(d)           The Company shall use
its best efforts to cause the Executive to be a member of the Board throughout
the Term and shall include him in the management slate for election as a director
at every stockholders’ meeting at which his term as a director would otherwise
expire.

 

5.             Compensation.  (a)  Base
Salary.  The Company shall pay or
cause to be paid to the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) of (i)
during the year ending December 31, 2004, $750,000 per annum, and (ii) during
each succeeding calendar year (or portion thereof) during the Term an amount
per annum equal to $50,000 plus the Base Salary in effect at the end of the
immediately preceding calendar year. 
The Company may increase, but not decrease, the Base Salary at any time
and from time to time during the Term. 
The Base Salary shall be payable in monthly or more frequent
installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices for
senior executives.

 

(b)           Bonus.  In addition to the Base Salary, the
Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus (the “Bonus”) in an
amount equal to the sum of (a) .005560 multiplied by the Budgeted EBITDA
for the applicable year plus (b) .01946 multiplied by the amount, if any,
by which the Actual EBITDA for such year exceeded the Budgeted EBITDA for such
year; provided, however, that if in any year, the Actual EBITDA
is less than 95% of the amount of the Budgeted EBITDA for such year, the
product obtained by clause (a) above shall be multiplied by the Applicable
Percentage set forth on Exhibit A in determining the amount of the Bonus
payable with respect to such year.  The
Bonus will be payable with respect to each of the Company’s fiscal years ending
December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and, except as
provided in Section 5(c), will be payable as follows:  (i) 75% of the estimated

 

5

 

Bonus will be paid to the
Executive in the immediately succeeding January; and (ii) the remaining
amount of the Bonus over the amount previously paid in January of that year
will be paid to the Executive not later than 80 days after the end of the
preceding year.

 

Within 75 days following
the end of each applicable year during the Term, the independent public
accountants of the Company shall deliver to the Committee a certificate setting
forth the calculation of EBITDA for such year based on the Company’s audited
financial statements for such year and, if applicable, an agreed upon procedure
report on all adjustments to EBITDA required by clauses (i) and (ii) of the
definition of Actual EBITDA and by the provisions of Section 5(c)(i).  Within 80 days after the end of each such
year, the Committee shall deliver to the Executive a notice, in reasonable
detail, showing the calculation of Actual EBITDA for such year, the Bonus
payable to the Executive under this Section 5(b) with respect to such year and
the number of Restricted Shares with respect to which the Restriction Period
has expired by virtue of such EBITDA pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) hereof.

 

(c)           Deferred
Compensation.  The Executive by
timely notice delivered to the Committee may elect to defer any portion of the
Base Salary or Bonus with respect to any year on terms reasonably acceptable to
the Company, provided such deferral does not result in the Company
incurring any additional expense.

 

(d)           Options.  On January 2, 2004, the Company will grant
to the Executive under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the
“2001 Plan”) options (the “Initial  Options”) to purchase 170,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.05 per share (the “Common
Stock”).  The Initial Options
shall have a term of seven years, shall have an exercise price per share equal
to the “fair market value” (as defined in the 2001 Plan) of a share of Common
Stock on the date of grant; shall vest and become exercisable in four equal
annual installments, commencing on January 2, 2005, if the Executive is
employed by the Company or any Subsidiary on such vesting date, except as
otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, and shall have such other terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the foregoing or with any other provision of
this Agreement, as are customarily contained in the grant letters under the
2001 Plan heretofore issued by the Company. 
On each of January 2, 2005, January 2, 2006 and December 31, 2006 the
Company will grant to the Executive under the 2001 Plan options (the “Subsequent
Options” and together with the Initial Options, the “Options”) to
purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock. 
The Subsequent Options shall have a term of seven years, shall have an
exercise price per share equal to the fair market value (as defined in the 2001
Plan) of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, shall vest and become
exercisable in three equal annual installments, commencing on the date of
grant, if the Executive is employed by the Company or any Subsidiary on such
vesting date, except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, and shall have
such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the foregoing or with
any other provision of this Agreement, as are customarily contained in grant
letters under the 2001 Plan heretofore issued by the Company.  In the event of a stock dividend, stock
split, share combination, exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or other comparable changes or
transactions of or by the Company, an appropriate adjustment to the number of
Common Stock into which the Options are exercisable shall be made to give
proper effect to such event.

6.             Employee Benefit
Programs.  During the Term, the
Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee pension and welfare
benefit plans and programs made available to the Company’s senior level
executives or its employees generally, as such plans or programs may be in
effect from time to time, including without limitation, pension, savings and
other retirement plans or programs, medical, dental, hospitalization,
short-term and long-term disability and life insurance plans, and any other
employee benefit plans or programs that may be sponsored by the Company from
time to time, whether funded or unfunded.

 

7.             Reimbursement of
Expenses.  During the Term, the
Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travel,
entertainment and other business expenses actually incurred or paid by the
Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder upon presentation of
expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting information as the
Company may reasonably require.

 

8.             Vacations.  In addition to customary paid holidays, the
Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation during each year
of the Term (and a pro rata portion thereof for any portion of the Term that is
less than a full year).  Any unused
vacation days during any year shall not be carried forward to subsequent years,
nor shall the Executive receive any additional compensation for such unused
vacation days.

 

9.             The Restricted
Shares.  (a)  On January 2, 2004, and in consideration of
services to be performed by the Executive hereunder, the Company will grant to
the Executive, subject to the provisions of this Section 9, 175,000 shares (the
“Initial Restricted Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock.  In addition, on each of January 2, 2005,
January 2, 2006 and January 2, 2007, the Company shall grant to the Executive
an additional 25,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Restricted Shares”
and, together with the Initial Restricted Shares, the “Restricted Shares”).

 

(b)           During the Restriction
Period (as defined below) relating to any Restricted Shares, such Restricted
Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered
by the Executive.  Except as provided in
this Section 9, the Executive, as the owner of Restricted Shares, shall have
all the rights of a holder of Common Stock, including but not limited to the
right to receive all cash dividends or distributions paid on and the right to
vote such Restricted Shares until such date as such Restricted Shares shall
have been forfeited pursuant to Section 9(g).

 

(c)           The restrictions
contained in this Section 9 on the rights of the Executive to sell, assign,
transfer or encumber the Restricted Shares and on his ability to hold the
certificates representing the Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 9(d) shall
expire as follows:

 

(i)            the restrictions on
29,167 (29,166 in the case of January 2, 2005 and January 2, 2006) Initial
Restricted Shares shall expire on each of January 2, 2005, January 2, 2006,
January 2, 2007, January 2, 2008, January 2, 2009 and January 2,
2010, if the Executive is employed by the Company or any Subsidiary on such
date, except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either (x)
EBITDA for any fiscal year during the Term shall exceed 105% of EBITDA for the
immediately preceding year or (y) the

 

7

 

Committee so determined
in its discretion based on non-EBITDA related performance of the Executive in
such fiscal year, the Restriction Period (as defined below) with respect to an
additional 29,167 Initial Restricted Shares shall expire either on (x) the date
the independent public accountants of the Company deliver to the Committee the
certificate referred to in Section 5(b) hereof or (y) the date the Committee
makes such determination.  In that
event, the additional Initial Restricted Shares as to which the Restriction
Period shall expire pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be those Initial
Restricted Shares, the Restriction Period of which would otherwise have expired
on the latest applicable date pursuant to this Section 9(c)(i).  In determining EBITDA for the purposes of
this paragraph only for any applicable fiscal year and the prior fiscal year,
the results of operations of any person or business which was the subject of an
Acquisition since the beginning of such prior fiscal year shall be included in
such determination on a pro forma basis as if such Acquisition had occurred
(and all related costs and expenses were incurred) on the day immediately
preceding the first day of such prior fiscal year and the results of operations
of any person or business which was the subject of a Disposition since the
beginning of such prior fiscal year shall be excluded in such determination on
a pro forma basis as if such Disposition had occurred (and all related costs
and expenses were incurred) on the day immediately preceding the first day of
such prior fiscal year.

 

(ii)           the restrictions on
8,333 (8,334  in the case of the
first anniversary date) Subsequent Restricted Shares issued on any date
hereunder shall expire on the date of issuance and the two succeeding
anniversary dates of the date of issuance, if the Executive is employed by the
Company or any Subsidiary on such date, except as otherwise provided in Section
10 hereof.

 

(iii)          The period during which
the restrictions set forth in this Section 9(c) as to the ownership, transfer
and disposition by the Executive of any Restricted Shares shall be in effect
shall be referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.”

 

(d)           Each certificate
representing Restricted Shares or Additional Restricted Shares shall be registered
in the name of the Executive, be deposited by him with the Company together
with a stock power endorsed in blank and bear the following, or a substantially
similar, legend:

 

“The
transferability of this Certificate and the Common Stock represented hereby is
subject to the terms and conditions, including forfeiture, contained in the
Employment Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2004, between the Company and
James F. Dannhauser.  A copy of the
Employment Agreement is on file in the executive offices of Six Flags, Inc.,
11501 Northeast Expressway, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73131.”

 

(e)           To the extent any
Restricted Shares shall not have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Executive hereby represents and warrants
that he (i) is acquiring such Restricted Shares for his own account and
not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof except in compliance with
the Securities Act of 1933, as

 

8

 

amended (the “Securities
Act”) and applicable state securities laws and (ii) is an “accredited investor”
as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

(f)            After the Restriction
Period relating to any Restricted Shares has expired, upon the written request
of the Executive, or the Executive’s legal representative, permitted successor
or heir, the Company shall deliver to the Executive, or such legal
representative, permitted successor or heir, a certificate or certificates,
without the legend referred to in Section 9(d), for the number of such
Restricted Shares.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any certificate or certificates so delivered shall bear such legends
as the Company may deem advisable to reflect restrictions which may be imposed
by law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act or any state “blue
sky” or other applicable securities laws.

 

(g)           The Executive’s rights
to any Restricted Shares shall be forfeited on the first date on which it can
be determined that the Restriction Period with respect to such Restricted
Shares is incapable of expiring pursuant to the provisions of Section
9(c).  Any Restricted Shares with
respect to which the Restriction Period has not expired shall be forfeited as
of the last day thereof.  Certificates
representing any forfeited Restricted Shares shall be cancelled by the Company,
and the Executive shall have no rights with respect to any such forfeited
Shares.

 

(h)           If the Company shall be
consolidated or merged with another corporation, and such consolidation or
merger is not a Change of Control, the Executive will deposit with the
successor corporation the certificates for the stock or securities or the other
property that the Executive is entitled to receive by reason of his ownership
of Restricted Shares in a manner consistent with Section 9(d), and such stock,
securities or other property shall become subject to the restrictions and
requirements imposed by this Section 9, and the certificates therefor or other
evidence thereof shall bear a legend similar in form and substance to the
legend set forth in Section 9(d).

 

(i)            In the event of a
stock dividend, stock split, share combination, exchange of shares,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or other
comparable changes or transactions of or by the Company, an appropriate
adjustment to the number of Restricted Shares shall be made to give proper
effect to such event.

 

10.           Termination of
Employment.

 

(a)           Termination Due to
Death.  The Executive’s employment
shall immediately terminate upon his death. 
In such event, his estate or his beneficiaries, as the case may be,
shall be entitled to:

 

(i)            Base Salary (at the
applicable rate in effect on the date of his death) for a period of 365 days;

 

(ii)           a Bonus for the year in
which the Executive’s death occurs in an amount equal to the Bonus (if any)
that would have been payable to the Executive with respect to such year had his
death not occurred, multiplied (in the event such death occurs before
June 30 of

 

9

 

such year) by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of days elapsed during such year
prior to the date of the Executive’s death and the denominator of which shall
be 181, payable as provided in Section 5(b);

 

(iii)          all Restricted Shares
with respect to which the Restriction Period had expired prior to the date of
this death and all Restricted Shares (including all Additional Restricted
Shares not issued as of the date of death) as to which the Restriction Period
under Section 9(c) hereof has not yet expired (as to which the Restriction
Period shall then automatically and immediately expire);

 

(iv)          all Options not granted
as of the date of death and, unless otherwise required by any plan, the
continued right to exercise any then vested stock option (including the
Options) for the remainder of its term, it being understood that all Options
shall vest immediately upon such termination;

 

(v)           any amounts earned,
accrued or owing but not yet paid under Sections 5, 6 or 7 above; and

 

(vi)          other or additional
benefits in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company.

 

(b)           Termination Due to
Disability.  The Company may
terminate the Executive’s employment, by written notice delivered to him, due
to his Disability.  In such event, he
shall be entitled to:

 

(i)            an amount equal to
100% of Base Salary, at the rate in effect at the date of such termination of
his employment, for a period of 365 days following the date of termination,
less the amount of any disability benefits provided to the Executive under any
disability plan or policy;

13

 

any liability against the
Executive in respect of any matter relating to the period during which the
Executive is employed by the Company, no matter when arising.

 

(b)           During the period in
which the Executive is employed by the Company, the Company agrees to maintain

basis.

 

12.           Effect of Agreement
on Other Benefits.  Except as

13.           Covenant
Not-to-Compete.  During the two
years following the end of the Executive’s employment by the Company (the
“Covenant Period”):

 

(a)           The Executive agrees
that he will not, directly or indirectly, as a partner, officer, employee,
director, stockholder, proprietor, consultant, representative, agent or
otherwise become or be interested in, or associate with or render assistance to
(i) any person engaged in the ownership, operation and/or management of
any water park, amusement park, theme park, marine or wildlife park, outdoor
mini-theme park or family amusement or entertainment center (collectively,
“Parks”) located within the United States of America (or in the event the
Company owns or otherwise operates any Park outside the United States of
America, in any location within a 250 mile radius of such location) or
(ii) if during the Term, the Company commences any line of business, in
addition to the ownership, operation and/or management of Parks, and if, during
the last full fiscal year of the Company preceding the date of the termination
of the Executive’s employment, such other line of business accounted for at
least 10% of the Company’s revenue during such year, any person engaged in such
other line of business within a 250 mile radius of any location at which the
Company is then engaged therein.  The
foregoing provisions shall not, however, prohibit the ownership by any
Executive of securities in accordance with Section 4(c)(i).

 

(b)           The Executive agrees
that he will not, directly or indirectly, during the Covenant Period, for his
own benefit or for the benefit of any other person knowingly solicit the
professional services of any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or any
person who had been such an employee within three months prior thereto or
otherwise interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary
and any of such persons.

 

(c)           The Executive
recognizes and acknowledges that, in connection with his employment by the
Company, he has had and will continue to have access to valuable trade secrets
and confidential information of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
including, but not limited to, customer and supplier lists, business methods
and processes, marketing, promotional, pricing and financial information and
data relating to employees and agents (collectively, “Confidential Information”)
and that such Confidential Information is being made available to the Executive
only in connection with the furtherance of his employment by the Company.  The Executive agrees that during the Term
and thereafter, he will not use or

 

14

 

disclose any of such
Confidential Information to any person, except that disclosure of Confidential
Information will be permitted: 
(i) to the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their
respective advisors; (ii) if such Confidential Information has previously
become available to the public through no fault of the Executive; (iii) if
required by any court or governmental agency or body or is otherwise required
by law; (iv) if necessary to establish or assert the rights of the
Executive hereunder; or (v) if expressly consented to by the Company.

 

(d)           The parties agree that
a violation of the foregoing agreements not to compete or disclose, or any
provision thereof, will cause irreparable damage to the Company, and the Company
shall be entitled (without any requirement of posting a bond or other
security), in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, at
law or in equity, to an injunction enjoining and restraining the Executive from
doing or continuing to do any such act or any other violations or threatened
violations of this Section 13.

 

(e)           The Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants set forth in this
Section 13 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable and valid in
geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects.  If any court determines that any of the
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall
be given full force and effect, without regard to the invalid or unenforceable
parts.

 

(f)            If any court
determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such court shall have the power to
modify such Restrictive Covenant, or any part thereof, and, in its modified
form, such Restrictive Covenant shall then be valid and enforceable.

 

14.           Severability.  Should any provision of this Agreement be
held, by a court of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid or unenforceable,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not render the entire Agreement
invalid or unenforceable, and this Agreement and each individual provision
hereof shall be enforceable and valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

15.           Successors and
Assigns.  (a)  This Agreement and all rights under this
Agreement are personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable other than
by will or the laws of descent.  All of
the Executive’s rights under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of his
heirs, personal representatives, designees or other legal representatives, as
the case may be.

 

(b)           This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and
assigns.  Any person succeeding to the
business of the Company by merger, purchase, consolidation or otherwise shall
assume by contract or operation of law the obligations of the Company under
this Agreement.

 

16.           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in

regard to the conflicts of laws rules thereof.

plan or program of the Company.

or privilege.

of the essence with respect to the giving of such Notice.  If Tenant shall fail to give such Notice,

extension of this Agreement shall be automatically effected without the
execution of any additional documents; it being understood and agreed, however,
that Tenant and Landlord shall execute such documents and agreements as either
party shall reasonably require to evidence the same.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing sentence, if,

without offset, abatement, demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement), Minimum Rent and Additional Rent to Landlord and Additional
Charges to the party to whom such Additional Charges are payable, during the
Term.  All payments to Landlord shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds or by other means
acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. 
Rent for any partial calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem
basis.

3.1.1           Minimum
Rent.

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

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

(c)           Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Disbursements
Under Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.3 and 11.2.  Effective on the date of each disbursement
to pay for the cost of any repairs, maintenance, renovations or replacements
pursuant to Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.3 or 11.2, the annual Minimum Rent
shall be increased by a per  annum amount equal to the
Disbursement Rate times the amount so disbursed.  If any such disbursement is made during any calendar month on a
day other than the first Business Day of such calendar month, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord on the first

(d)            Business Day of the immediately
following calendar month (in addition to the amount of Minimum Rent payable
with respect to such calendar month, as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph
(c)) the amount by which Minimum Rent for the preceding calendar month, as
adjusted for such disbursement on a per diem 

 

17

 

basis, exceeded the amount of Minimum Rent paid by
Tenant for such preceding calendar month.

 

(e)           Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Partial Lease
Termination.  Subject to Section
4.1.1(b), if this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Property
but less than all of the Leased Property, Minimum Rent shall be reduced by the
affected Property’s allocable share of Minimum Rent determined in accordance
with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

3.1.2           Additional
Rent.

(a)           Amount.  Tenant shall pay additional rent (“Additional Rent”) with
respect to each Lease Year during the Term subsequent to the Base Year in an
amount, not less than zero, equal to four percent (4%) of Excess Net Patient
Revenues at the Leased Property. 
Quarterly payments of Additional Rent for the Leased Property shall be
calculated based on Net Patient Revenues for such quarter during the preceding
year and shall be due and payable and delivered to Landlord on the first
Business Day of each calendar quarter, or portion thereof, thereafter occurring
during the Term, together with an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the
calculation of Additional Rent due and payable for such quarter.

(b)           Quarterly Installments.  Installments of Additional Rent for each
Lease Year during the Term, or portion thereof, shall be calculated and paid
quarterly in arrears, together with an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the
calculation of Additional Rent due and payable for such quarter.

(c)           Reconciliation of Additional Rent.  In addition, within seventy-five (75) days
after the end of the Base Year and each Lease Year thereafter (or any portion
thereof occurring during the Term), Tenant shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to Landlord (i) a financial report setting forth the Net Patient
Revenues for each Property for such preceding Lease Year, or portion thereof,
together with an Officer’s Certificate from Tenant’s chief financial or
accounting officer certifying that such report is true and correct, (ii) an
audit of Net Patient Revenues prepared by a firm of independent certified public
accountants proposed by Tenant and approved by Landlord (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and (iii) a statement
showing Tenant’s calculation of Additional Rent due for such preceding Lease
Year based on the Net Patient Revenues set forth in such financial report,
together with an Officer’s Certificate from Tenant’s chief financial or
accounting officer certifying that such statement is true and correct.

If the annual Additional
Rent for such preceding Lease Year as set forth in Tenant’s statement thereof
exceeds the amount previously paid with respect thereto by Tenant, Tenant shall
pay 

 

18

 

such excess to Landlord
at such time as the statement is delivered, together with interest at the
Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the close of such preceding
Lease Year until the date that such statement is required to be delivered and,
thereafter, such interest shall accrue at the Overdue Rate, until the amount of
such difference shall be paid or otherwise discharged.  If the annual Additional Rent for such
preceding Lease Year as shown in such statement is less than the amount
previously paid with respect thereto by Tenant, provided that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant a
credit against the Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such
difference, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall
accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date such credit is applied
or paid, as the case may be.  If such
credit cannot be made because the Term has expired prior to application in full
thereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord
shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit to Tenant, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of
payment by Tenant until the date of payment by Landlord.

(d)           Confirmation of Additional Rent.  Tenant shall utilize, or cause to be
utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property in accordance with its
usual and customary practices and in all material respects in accordance with
GAAP, which will accurately record all Net Patient Revenues and Tenant shall
retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Lease Year,
reasonably adequate records conforming to such accounting system showing all
Net Patient Revenues for such Lease Year. 
Landlord, at its own expense, except as provided hereinbelow, shall have
the right, exercisable by Notice to Tenant, by its accountants or
representatives, to audit the information set forth in the Officer’s
Certificate referred to in subparagraph (c) above and, in connection with such
audits, to examine Tenant’s books and records with respect thereto (including
supporting data and sales and excise tax returns).  Landlord shall begin such audit as soon as reasonably possible
following its receipt of the applicable Officer’s Certificate and shall
complete such audit as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.  All such audits shall be performed at the
location where such books and records are customarily kept and in such a manner
so as to minimize any interference with Tenant’s business operations.  If any such audit discloses a deficiency in
the payment of Additional Rent and, either Tenant agrees with the result of
such audit or the matter is otherwise determined, 

 

19

 

Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of
the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined, together with interest at the
Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have been made to the date of
payment thereof.  If any such audit
discloses that Tenant paid more Additional Rent for any Lease Year than was due
hereunder, and either Landlord agrees with the result of such audit or the
matter is otherwise determined, provided no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, either grant Tenant a
credit or pay to Tenant an amount equal to the amount of such overpayment
against Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such difference, as
finally agreed or determined, together with interest at the Interest Rate,
which interest shall accrue from the time of payment by Tenant until the date
such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be; provided, however,
that, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, provided no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance
of such credit to Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which
interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of
payment from Landlord.  Any dispute
concerning the correctness of an audit shall be settled by arbitration pursuant
to the provisions of Article 22.

Any proprietary
information obtained by Landlord with respect to Tenant pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement shall be treated as confidential, except that such
information may be disclosed or used, subject to appropriate confidentiality
safeguards, pursuant to court order or in any litigation between the parties
and except further that Landlord may disclose such information to its
prospective lenders, provided that Landlord shall direct such lenders to
maintain such information as confidential. 
The obligations of Tenant and Landlord contained in this Section
3.1.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement.

3.1.3           Additional
Charges.  In addition to the Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the
appropriate parties and discharge (or cause to be discharged) as and when due
and payable the following (collectively, “Additional Charges”):

(a)           Impositions.  Subject to Article 8 relating to permitted contests, Tenant
shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty,
interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a result of a failure to
take advantage of any discount for early payment) may be added for non-payment,
such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and
shall promptly, upon request, furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts
or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments.  If any such Imposition may, at the option of
the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall
accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the
option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay, or cause to pay,
such installments during the Term as the same become due and before any fine,
penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto.  Landlord, at its expense, shall, to the
extent required or permitted by Applicable 

 

20

 

Law, prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and
filed, all tax returns and pay all taxes due in respect of Landlord’s net
income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business, transaction privilege,
rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock or other
equity interests, and Tenant, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or
permitted by Applicable Laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax
returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by
Government Agencies.  Provided no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any refund shall be due
from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of
Tenant, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant.  Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of
the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request
is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any
required returns and reports.  In the
event Government Agencies classify any property covered by this Agreement as
personal property, Tenant shall file, or cause to be filed, all personal
property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file.  Each party shall, to the extent it possesses
the same, provide the other, upon request, with cost and depreciation records
necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property.  Where Landlord is legally required to file
personal property tax returns for property covered by this Agreement, Landlord
shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices in sufficient time for
Tenant to file a protest.  All
Impositions assessed against such personal property shall be (irrespective of
whether Landlord or Tenant shall file the relevant return) paid by Tenant not
later than the last date on which the same may be made without interest or
penalty, subject to the provisions of Article 8.

Landlord shall give
prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which
Landlord at any time has knowledge; provided, however, that
Landlord’s failure to give any such notice shall in no way diminish Tenant’s
obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions.

(b)           Utility Charges.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in
connection with the Leased Property.

(c)           Insurance Premiums.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article
9.

(d)           Other Charges.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
other amounts, liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation,
ground rents, if any, and all amounts payable under any equipment leases and
all agreements to indemnify Landlord under Sections 4.4.2 and 9.5.

 

21

 

(e)           Reimbursement for Additional Charges.  If Tenant pays or causes to be paid property
taxes or similar or other Additional Charges attributable to periods after the
end of the Term, whether upon expiration or sooner termination of this
Agreement (other than termination by reason of an Event of Default), Tenant
may, within a reasonable time after the end of the Term, provide Notice to
Landlord of its estimate of such amounts. 
Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all payments of such taxes
and other similar Additional Charges that are attributable to any period after
the Term of this Agreement.

3.2          Late
Payment of Rent, Etc.  If any
installment of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but only as
to those Additional Charges which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not
be paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on
demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law)
computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment, from the due
date of such installment to the date of payment thereof. To the extent that
Tenant pays any Additional Charges directly to Landlord or any Facility
Mortgagee pursuant to any requirement of this Agreement, Tenant shall be
relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the Entity to
which they would otherwise be due.  If
any payments due from Landlord to Tenant shall not be paid within ten (10) days
after its due date, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, on demand, a late charge (to
the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such
installment from the due date of such installment to the date of payment
thereof.

In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any
Additional Charges when due, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as
Additional Charges, every fine, penalty, interest and cost which is added for
non-payment or late payment of such items. 
Landlord shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers
and remedies provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise in
the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of non-payment
of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent.

3.3          Net Lease.
 The Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord
so that this Agreement shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the
installments or amounts of the Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other
provisions of this Agreement which expressly provide otherwise, including those
provisions for adjustment or abatement of such Rent.

3.4          No
Termination, Abatement, Etc.    Except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each of Landlord and Tenant,
to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Agreement in
accordance with its terms and shall not take any action without the consent of
the other to modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement.  In addition, except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall not seek, or be entitled to, any
abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent, or set-off
against the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Landlord and 

22

 

Tenant
be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to or destruction of the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof, from whatever cause or any
Condemnation, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon,
Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the
interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount
title; (c) any claim which Tenant may have against Landlord by reason of any
default (other than a monetary default) or breach of any warranty by Landlord
under this Agreement or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to
which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up
or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of
Landlord; or (e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of
the foregoing (other than a monetary default by Landlord).  Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence
whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to
modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement or quit or surrender the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof, or (b) which would entitle Tenant to any
abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable
or other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be
separate and independent covenants and agreements, and the Rent and all other
sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events
unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the
express provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE

USE OF THE
LEASED PROPERTY

4.1          Permitted Use.

4.1.1           Permitted
Use.

(a)           Tenant shall, at all times during the
Term, and at any other time that Tenant shall be in possession of any Property,
continuously use and operate, or cause to be used and operated, such Property
as a skilled nursing/intermediate care/independent living/assisted
living/special care/group home facility as currently operated, and any uses
incidental thereto.  Tenant shall not
use (and shall not permit any Person to use) any Property, or any portion
thereof, for any other use without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  No use shall be made or permitted to be made
of any Property and no acts shall be done thereon which will cause the
cancellation of any insurance policy covering such Property or any part thereof
(unless another adequate policy is available) or which would constitute a
default under any ground lease affecting such Property, nor shall Tenant sell
or otherwise provide to residents or patients therein, or permit to be kept,
used or sold in or about any Property any article which may be prohibited by
law or by the standard form of 

 

23

 

fire insurance policies, or any other insurance
policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriter’s
regulations.  Tenant shall, at its sole
cost (except as expressly provided in Section 5.1.2(b)), comply or cause
to be complied with all Insurance Requirements.  Tenant shall not take or omit to take, or permit to be taken or
omitted to be taken, any action, the taking or omission of which materially
impairs the value or the usefulness of any Property or any part thereof for its
Permitted Use.

(b)           In the event that, in the reasonable
determination of Tenant, it shall no longer be economically practical to
operate any Property as currently operated,  Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof,
which Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons therefor.  Thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall
negotiate in good faith to agree on an alternative use for such Property,
appropriate adjustments to the Additional Rent and other related matters; provided,
however, in no event shall the Minimum Rent be reduced or abated as a
result thereof.  If Landlord and Tenant
fail to agree on an alternative use for such Property within sixty (60) days
after commencing negotiations as aforesaid, Tenant may market such Property for
sale to a third party.  If Tenant
receives a bona fide offer (an “Offer”) to purchase such Property from a
Person having the financial capacity to implement the terms of such Offer,
Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall include a copy of
the Offer executed by such third party. 
In the event that Landlord shall fail to accept or reject such Offer
within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Notice, such Offer shall be
deemed to be rejected by Landlord.  If
Landlord shall sell the Property pursuant to such Offer, then, effective as of
the date of such sale, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such
Property, and the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten
percent (10%) of the net proceeds of sale received by Landlord.  If Landlord shall reject (or be deemed to
have rejected) such Offer, then, effective as of the proposed date of such
sale, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, and the
Minimum Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the
projected net proceeds determined by reference to such Offer.

4.1.2           Necessary
Approvals.  Tenant shall proceed with all due diligence
and exercise reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained
and maintained, all approvals necessary to use and operate, for its Permitted
Use, each Property and the Facility located thereon under applicable law and,
without limiting the foregoing, shall exercise reasonable efforts to maintain
(or cause to be maintained) appropriate certifications for reimbursement and
licensure.

4.1.3           Lawful
Use, Etc.   Tenant shall not, and shall not permit any
Person to use or suffer or permit the use of any Property or Tenant’s Personal
Property, if any, for any unlawful purpose.

 

24

 

Tenant shall not,
and shall not permit any Person to, commit or suffer to be committed any waste
on any Property, or in any Facility, nor shall Tenant cause or permit any
unlawful nuisance thereon or therein. 
Tenant shall not, and shall not permit any Person to, suffer nor permit
any Property, or any portion thereof, to be used in such a manner as (i) may
materially and adversely impair Landlord’s title thereto or to any portion
thereof, or (ii) may reasonably allow a claim or claims for adverse usage or
adverse possession by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of such
Property, or any portion thereof.

 

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

authorizations and agreements required for any use of any Property and Tenant’s
Personal Property, if any, then being made, and for the proper erection,
installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property or any part
thereof.

4.3          Compliance with Medicaid and
Medicare Requirements.  Tenant, at
its sole cost and expense, shall make (or shall cause to be made), whatever
improvements (capital or ordinary) as are required to each Property to such
standards as may, from time to time, be required by Federal Medicare (Title 18)
or Medicaid (Title 19) for skilled and/or intermediate care nursing programs,
to the extent Tenant is a participant in such programs with respect to such
Property, or any other applicable programs or legislation, or capital
improvements required by any other governmental agency having jurisdiction over
any Property as a condition of the continued operation of such Property for its
Primary Intended Use.

4.4          Environmental Matters.

4.4.1           Restriction
on Use, Etc.   During the Term and any other time that
Tenant shall be in possession of any Property, Tenant shall not, and shall not
permit any Person to, store, spill upon, dispose of or transfer to or from such
Property any Hazardous Substance, except in compliance with all Applicable
Laws.  During the Term and any other
time that Tenant shall be in possession of any Property, Tenant shall maintain
(or shall cause to be maintained) such Property at all times free of any
Hazardous Substance (except in compliance with all Applicable Laws).  Tenant shall promptly:  (a) upon receipt of notice or knowledge,
notify Landlord in writing of any material change in the nature or extent of
Hazardous Substances at any Property, (b) transmit to Landlord a copy of any
report which is 

25

 

required to be filed by Tenant or any Manager with
respect to any Property pursuant to SARA Title III or any other Applicable Law,
(c) transmit to Landlord copies of any citations, orders, notices or other
governmental communications received by Tenant or any Manager or their
respective agents or representatives with respect thereto (collectively, “Environmental
Notice”), which Environmental Notice requires a written response or any
action to be taken and/or if such Environmental Notice gives notice of and/or
presents a material risk of any material violation of any Applicable Law and/or
presents a material risk of any material cost, expense, loss or damage (an “Environmental
Obligation”), (d) observe and comply with (or cause to be observed and
complied with) all Applicable Laws relating to the use, maintenance and
disposal of Hazardous Substances and all orders or directives from any
official, court or agency of competent jurisdiction relating to the use or
maintenance or requiring the removal, treatment, containment or other
disposition thereof, and (e) pay or otherwise dispose (or cause to be paid or
otherwise disposed) of any fine, charge or Imposition related thereto, unless
Tenant or any Manager shall contest the same in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings and the right to use and the value of any of the Leased Property is
not materially and adversely affected thereby.

If, at any time prior to the termination of this
Agreement, Hazardous Substances (other than those maintained in accordance with
Applicable Laws) are discovered on any Property, subject to Tenant’s right to
contest the same in accordance with Article 8, Tenant shall take (and
shall cause to be taken) all actions and incur any and all expenses, as are
required by any Government Agency and by Applicable Law, (i) to clean up and
remove from and about such Property all Hazardous Substances thereon, (ii) to
contain and prevent any further release or threat of release of Hazardous
Substances on or about such Property and (iii) to use good faith efforts to
eliminate any further release or threat of release of Hazardous Substances on
or about such Property.

4.4.2           Indemnification
of Landlord.  Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord and each Facility Mortgagee, their trustees, officers,
agents, employees and beneficiaries, and any of their respective successors or
assigns with respect to this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnitees”
and, individually, an “Indemnitee”) for, from and against any and all
debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders or notices,
costs, fines, penalties or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney’s fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee resulting from, either directly or indirectly, the presence in, upon
or under the soil or ground water of any Property or any properties surrounding
such Property of any Hazardous Substances in violation of any Applicable Law,
except to the extent the same arise from the acts or omissions of Landlord or
any other Indemnitee or during any period that Landlord or a Person designated
by Landlord (other than Tenant) is in possession of such Property from and
after the date hereof.  Tenant’s duty
herein includes, but is not limited to, costs associated with personal injury
or property damage 

 

26

 

claims as a result of the presence prior to the
expiration or sooner termination of the Term and the surrender of such Property
to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of Hazardous
Substances in, upon or under the soil or ground water of such Property in
violation of any Applicable Law.  Upon
Notice from Landlord and any other of the Indemnitees, Tenant shall undertake
the defense, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, of any indemnification duties
set forth herein, in which event, Tenant shall not be liable for payment of any
duplicative attorneys’ fees incurred by any Indemnitee.

Tenant shall, upon demand, pay (or cause to be paid)
to Landlord, as an Additional Charge, any cost, expense, loss or damage
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred
by Landlord and arising from a failure of Tenant to observe and perform  (or to cause to be observed and performed)
the requirements of this Section 4.4, which amounts shall bear interest
from the date ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor is given to
Tenant until paid by Tenant to Landlord at the Overdue Rate.

 The provisions of this Section 4.4
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.

General Obligations.  Tenant shall keep (or cause to
be kept), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the Leased Property and all
private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto (and Tenant’s
Personal Property) in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted
(whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant’s or any
Manager’s use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the Leased Property or
Tenant’s Personal Property or any portion thereof), and shall promptly make or
cause to be made all necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements thereto
of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior, structural or
nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by
reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed
or otherwise).  All repairs shall be
made in a good, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards for
comparable Facilities in like locales, in accordance with all applicable
federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations
relating to any such work.  Tenant shall
not take or omit to take (or permit any Person to take or omit to take) any
action, the taking or omission of which would materially and adversely impair
the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any material part thereof
for its Permitted Use.  Tenant’s
obligations under this Section 5.1.1 shall be limited in the event of
any casualty or Condemnation as set forth in Article 10 and Article
11 and Tenant’s obligations with respect to Hazardous Substances are as set
forth in Section 4.4.

 

27

 

5.1.2           Landlord’s Obligations.

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, be
required to build or rebuild any improvement on the Leased Property, or to make
any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature
or description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary,
structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure
whatsoever with respect thereto, or to maintain the Leased Property in any way.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
the right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law in
effect on the date hereof or hereafter enacted.  Landlord shall have the right to give, record and post, as
appropriate, notices of nonresponsibility under any mechanic’s lien laws now or
hereafter existing.

(b)           If, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, Tenant is required to make any expenditures in connection with any
repair, maintenance or renovation with respect to any Property, Tenant may, at
its election, advance such funds or give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice
shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the required repair,
renovation or replacement, the estimated cost thereof and such other
information with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require.  Provided that no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and Tenant shall otherwise comply with the
applicable provisions of Article 6, Landlord shall, within ten (10)
Business Days after such Notice, subject to and in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Article 6, disburse such required funds to
Tenant (or, if Tenant shall so elect, directly to the Manager or any other
Person performing the required work) and, upon such disbursement, the Minimum
Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(c).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may
elect not to disburse such required funds to Tenant; provided, however, that if
Landlord shall elect not to disburse such required funds as aforesaid, Tenant’s
obligation to make such required repair, renovation or replacement shall be
deemed waived by Landlord, and, notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation to make such
required repair, renovation or replacement.

5.1.3           Nonresponsibility
of Landlord, Etc.   All materialmen, contractors,
artisans, mechanics and laborers and other persons contracting with Tenant with
respect to the Leased Property, or any part thereof, are hereby charged with
notice that liens on the Leased Property or on Landlord’s interest therein are
expressly prohibited and that they must look solely to Tenant to secure payment
for any work done or material furnished to Tenant or any Manager or for any
other purpose during the term of this Agreement.

 

28

 

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or
construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord,
express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer or materialmen for the performance of any labor or the
furnishing of any materials for any alteration, addition, improvement or repair
to the Leased Property or any part thereof or as giving Tenant any right, power
or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the
furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien
against the Leased Property or any part thereof nor to subject Landlord’s
estate in the Leased Property or any part thereof to liability under any
mechanic’s lien law of any State in any way, it being expressly understood
Landlord’s estate shall not be subject to any such liability.

5.2          Tenant’s
Personal Property.  Tenant shall
provide and maintain (or cause to be provided and maintained) throughout the
Term all such Tenant’s Personal Property as shall be necessary in order to
operate in compliance with applicable material Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the
industry for the Permitted Use.  If,
from and after the Commencement Date, Tenant acquires an interest in any item
of tangible personal property (other than motor vehicles) on, or in connection
with, the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, which belongs to anyone
other than Tenant, Tenant shall require the agreements permitting such use to
provide that Landlord or its designee may assume Tenant’s rights and
obligations under such agreement upon Landlord’s purchase of the same in
accordance with the provisions of Article 15 and the assumption of
management or operation of the Facility by Landlord or its designee.

5.3          Yield Up.  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement,
Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord in
substantially the same condition in which the Leased Property was in on the
Commencement Date, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to
as permitted or required by the provisions of this Agreement, reasonable wear
and tear excepted (and casualty damage and Condemnation, in the event that this
Agreement is terminated following a casualty or Condemnation in accordance with
Article 10 or Article 11 excepted).

In addition, upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and
expense, use its good faith efforts to transfer (or cause to be transferred) to
and cooperate with Landlord or Landlord’s nominee in connection with the
processing of all applications for licenses, operating permits and other
governmental authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with
governmental or quasi-governmental Entities which may be necessary for the use
and operation of the Facility as then operated.  If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall continue to manage one or
more of the Facilities after the expiration of the Term for up to one hundred
eighty (180) days, on such reasonable terms (which shall include an agreement
to reimburse Tenant for its reasonable

 

29

 

out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, and reasonable administrative costs), as Landlord shall
reasonably request.

5.4          Management
Agreement. 
Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), enter
into, amend or modify the provisions of any Management Agreement with respect
to any Property.  Any Management
Agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4
shall be subordinate to this Agreement and shall provide, inter  alia,
that all amounts due from Tenant to Manager thereunder shall be subordinate to
all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord (provided that, as long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may pay all amounts due to
Manager thereunder pursuant to such Management Agreement) and for termination
thereof, at Landlord’s option, upon the termination of this Agreement.  Tenant shall not take any action, grant any
consent or permit any action under any such Management Agreement which might
have a material adverse effect on Landlord, without the prior written consent
of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned.

ARTICLE 6

IMPROVEMENTS, ETC.

6.1          Improvements to the Leased Property.  Tenant shall not make, construct or install (or permit
to be made, constructed or installed) any Capital Additions without, in each
instance, obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided that (a) construction
or installation of the same would not adversely affect or violate any material
Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement applicable to any Property and (b)
Landlord shall have received an Officer’s Certificate certifying as to the
satisfaction of the conditions set out in clause (a) above; provided, however,
that no such consent shall be required in the event immediate action is
required to prevent imminent harm to person or property.  Prior to commencing construction of any
Capital Addition, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, in writing, a proposal
setting forth, in reasonable detail, any such proposed improvement and shall
provide to Landlord such plans and specifications, and such permits, licenses,
contracts and such other information concerning the same as Landlord may
reasonably request.  Landlord shall have
thirty (30) days to review all materials submitted to Landlord in connection
with any such proposal.  Failure of
Landlord to respond to Tenant’s proposal within thirty (30) days after receipt
of all information and materials requested by Landlord in connection with the
proposed improvement shall be deemed to constitute approval of the same.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, such proposal shall indicate the approximate projected cost of
constructing such proposed improvement and the use or uses to which it will be
put.  No Capital Addition shall be made
which would tie in or connect any Leased Improvements with any other
improvements on property adjacent to any Property (and 

30

 

not part of the Land)
including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures
or utilities.  Except as permitted
herein, Tenant shall not finance the cost of any construction of such
improvement by the granting of a lien on or security interest in the Leased
Property or such improvement, or Tenant’s interest therein, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in
Landlord’s sole discretion.  Any such
improvements shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this
Agreement, remain or pass to and become the property of Landlord, free and
clear of all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.

 

6.2          Salvage.  All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection with the
making of either Capital Additions or non-Capital Additions or repairs
required by Article 5 shall be or become the property of the party that
paid for such work.

ARTICLE 7

LIENS

7.1          Liens.  Subject to Article 8, Tenant shall use its best efforts
not, directly or indirectly, to create or allow to remain and shall promptly
discharge (or cause to be discharged), at its expense, any lien, encumbrance,
attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, or Tenant’s leasehold interest therein or any attachment,
levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (a) Permitted
Encumbrances, (b) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are
consented to in writing by Landlord, (c) liens for those taxes of Landlord
which Tenant is not required to pay hereunder, (d) subleases permitted by Article
16, (e) liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with
Legal Requirements so long as (i) the same are not yet due and payable, or (ii)
are being contested in accordance with Article 8, (f) liens of
mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors incurred in the ordinary
course of business that are not yet due and payable or are for sums that are
being contested in accordance with Article 8, (g) any Facility Mortgages
or other liens which are the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to the
provisions of Article 20 and (h) Landlord Liens and any other voluntary
liens created by Landlord.

7.2          Landlord’s
Lien.  In addition to any statutory landlord’s lien
and in order to secure payment of the Rent and all other sums payable hereunder
by Tenant, and to secure payment of any loss, cost or damage which Landlord may
suffer by reason of Tenant’s breach of this Agreement, Tenant hereby grants
unto Landlord, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, a security
interest in and an express contractual lien upon Tenant’s Personal Property
(except motor vehicles), and Tenant’s interest in all ledger sheets, files,
records, documents and instruments (including, without limitation, computer
programs, tapes and related electronic data processing) relating to the operation
of the Facilities (the “Records”) and all proceeds therefrom, subject to
any Permitted Encumbrances; and such Tenant’s 

31

 

Personal
Property shall not be removed from the Leased Property at any time when an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord financing statements in form sufficient to perfect the
security interest of Landlord in Tenant’s Personal Property and the proceeds thereof
in accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws of the State.  During the continuance of an Event of
Default, Tenant hereby grants Landlord an irrevocable limited power of
attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute all such financing statements in
Tenant’s name, place and stead.  The
security interest herein granted is in addition to any statutory lien for the
Rent.

ARTICLE 8

PERMITTED
CONTESTS

Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or
validity of any Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement,
Environmental Obligation, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim
(collectively, “Claims”) as to the Leased Property, by appropriate legal
proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that (a)
the foregoing shall in no way be construed as relieving, modifying or extending
Tenant’s obligation to pay (or cause to be paid) any Claims as finally
determined, (b) such contest shall not cause Landlord or Tenant to be in
default under any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Leased Property, or
any portion thereof (Landlord agreeing that any such mortgage or deed of trust
shall permit Tenant to exercise the rights granted pursuant to this Article
8) or any interest therein or result in or reasonably be expected to result
in a lien attaching to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, (c) no part
of the Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom shall be in any immediate danger
of sale, forfeiture, attachment or loss, and (d) Tenant shall indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord from and against any cost, claim, damage, penalty or
reasonable expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord
in connection therewith or as a result thereof.  Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required
legally to prosecute such contest, provided that Landlord shall not thereby be
subjected to any liability therefor (including, without limitation, for the
payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith) unless Tenant agrees
by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to
assume and indemnify Landlord with respect to the same.  Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of
any Claims and such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been
paid by Tenant or paid by Landlord to the extent that Landlord has been fully
reimbursed by Tenant.  If Tenant shall
fail (x) to pay or cause to be paid any Claims when finally determined, (y) to
provide reasonable security therefor or (z) to prosecute or cause to be
prosecuted any such contest diligently and in good faith, Landlord may, upon
reasonable notice to Tenant (which notice shall not be required if Landlord
shall reasonably determine that the same is not practicable), pay such charges,
together with interest and penalties

32

 

 due with respect thereto, and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, upon demand, as Additional Charges.

 

ARTICLE
9

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

9.1          General
Insurance Requirements.  Tenant shall,
at all times during the Term and at any other time Tenant shall be in
possession of any Property, or any portion thereof, keep (or cause to be kept)
such Property and all property located therein or thereon, insured against the
risks and in such amounts as is against such risks and in such amounts as
Landlord shall reasonably require and may be commercially reasonable.  Tenant shall prepare a proposal setting
forth the insurance Tenant proposes to be maintained with respect to each
Property during the ensuing Fiscal Year, and shall submit such proposal to
Landlord on or before December 1 of the preceding Lease Year, for Landlord’s
review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned.  In the event that Landlord
shall fail to respond within thirty (30) days after receipt of such proposal,
such proposal shall be deemed approved.

9.2          Waiver
of Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant agree that
(insofar as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without
invalidating or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from
responsible insurance companies doing business in any State) with respect to
any property loss which is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord
or Tenant, the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases
the others of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they
further agree that their respective insurance companies (and, if Landlord or
Tenant shall self insure in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be) shall have no right of subrogation against the
other on account thereof, even though extra premium may result therefrom.  In the event that any extra premium is
payable by Tenant as a result of this provision, Landlord shall not be liable
for reimbursement to Tenant for such extra premium.

9.3          Form
Satisfactory, Etc.   All insurance
policies and endorsements required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be
fully paid for, nonassessable, and issued by reputable insurance companies
authorized to do business in the State and having a general policy holder’s
rating of no less than A in Best’s latest rating guide.  All property, business interruption,
liability and flood insurance policies with respect to each Property shall
include no deductible in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000).  At all times, all property,
business interruption, liability and flood insurance policies, with the
exception of worker’s compensation insurance coverage, shall name Landlord and
any Facility Mortgagee as additional insureds, as their interests may
appear.  All loss adjustments shall be
payable as provided in Article 10, except that losses under
liability  and worker’s compensation
insurance policies shall be payable directly to the party entitled
thereto.  Tenant shall

33

 

cause all insurance
premiums to be paid and shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) policies or
certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and, with
respect to any renewal policy, prior to the expiration of the existing
policy).  All such policies shall
provide Landlord (and any Facility Mortgagee if required by the same) thirty
(30) days prior written notice of any material change or cancellation of such
policy.  In the event Tenant shall fail
to effect (or cause to be effected) such insurance as herein required, to pay
(or cause to be paid) the premiums therefor or to deliver (or cause to be
delivered) such policies or certificates to Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee
at the times required, Landlord shall have the right, upon Notice to Tenant,
but not the obligation, to acquire such insurance and pay the premiums
therefor, which amounts shall be payable to Landlord, upon demand, as
Additional Charges, together with interest accrued thereon at the Overdue Rate
from the date such payment is made until (but excluding) the date repaid.

 

9.4          No
Separate Insurance; Self-Insurance.  Tenant shall not take (or permit any Person to take) out separate
insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required by this Article 9, or increase the amount of any existing
insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all
parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of such insurance,
including Landlord and all Facility Mortgagees, are included therein as
additional insureds and the loss is payable under such insurance in the same
manner as losses are payable under this Agreement.  In the event Tenant shall take out any such separate insurance or
increase any of the amounts of the then existing insurance, Tenant shall give
Landlord prompt Notice thereof.  Tenant
shall not self-insure (or permit any Person to self-insure).

9.5          Indemnification
of Landlord.  Notwithstanding the existence
of any insurance provided for herein and without regard to the policy limits of
any such insurance, Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
for, from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties,
causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed
upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of the following,
except to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct:  (a) any accident, injury to
or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about any
Property or portion thereof or adjoining sidewalks or rights of way, (b) any
past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition, management,
maintenance or repair by Tenant, any Manager or anyone claiming under any of
them or Tenant’s Personal Property or any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental
entities or other third parties to which Landlord is made a party or
participant relating to the any Property or portion thereof or Tenant’s
Personal Property or such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management,
maintenance, or repair thereof including, failure to perform obligations (other
than Condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord is made a party, (c) any
Impositions that are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to the
applicable provisions of this 

34

 

Agreement, and (d) any
failure on the part of Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant to perform or
comply with any of the terms of this Agreement.  Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such
claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord (and shall
not be responsible for any duplicative attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord) or
may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same, with Landlord’s prior written
consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned).  The obligations of Tenant
under this Section 9.5 are in addition to the obligations set forth in Section
4.4 and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 10

CASUALTY

10.1        Insurance
Proceeds.  Except as provided in the last clause of this
sentence, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to any Property,
or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance required by Article
9 (other than the proceeds of any business interruption insurance) shall be
paid directly to Landlord (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2)
and all loss adjustments with respect to losses payable to Landlord shall
require the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however,
that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all
such proceeds less than or equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000) shall be paid directly to Tenant and such losses may be adjusted
without Landlord’s consent.  If Tenant
is required to reconstruct or repair any Property as provided herein, such
proceeds shall be paid out by Landlord from time to time for the reasonable costs
of reconstruction or repair of such Property necessitated by such damage or
destruction, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section
10.2.4.  Provided no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any excess proceeds of
insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration shall be paid to
Tenant.  In the event that the
provisions of Section 10.2.1 are applicable, the insurance proceeds
shall be retained by the party entitled thereto pursuant to Section 10.2.1.

10.2        Damage or Destruction.

10.2.1         Damage
or Destruction of Leased Property.  If, during
the Term, any Property shall be totally or partially destroyed and the Facility
located thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, either
Landlord or Tenant may, by the giving of Notice thereof to the other, terminate
this Agreement with respect to such affected Property, whereupon, this
Agreement shall terminate with respect to such affected Property and Landlord
shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage.  In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the amount of any deductible under the insurance policies covering such
Facility, the amount of any 

35

 

uninsured loss and any difference between the replacement
cost of the affected Property and the casualty insurance proceeds therefor.

10.2.2         Partial
Damage or Destruction.  If, during the
Term, any Property shall be totally or partially destroyed but the Facility is
not rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, subject to Section
10.2.3, promptly restore such Facility as provided in Section 10.2.4.

10.2.3         Insufficient
Insurance Proceeds.  If the cost of the repair or
restoration of the applicable Facility exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds
received by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 9.1, Tenant shall
give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail
the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant shall pay and assume the
amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation to do so, except that,
if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the same shall become an
irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement).  In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay
and assume the amount of such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but
not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord’s sole election by Notice to
Tenant, given within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s notice of the deficiency,
to elect to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration
the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, in such event,
upon any disbursement by Landlord thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted
as provided in Section 3.1.1(c). 
In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such
deficiency available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate
this Agreement with respect to the affected Property by Notice to the other,
whereupon, this Agreement shall so terminate and insurance proceeds shall be distributed
as provided in Section 10.2.1. 
It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall be strictly liable and
solely responsible for the amount of any deductible and shall, upon any
insurable loss, pay over the amount of such deductible to Landlord at the time
and in the manner herein provided for payment of the applicable proceeds to
Landlord.

10.2.4         Disbursement
of Proceeds.  In the event Tenant is required to restore
any Property pursuant to Section 10.2 and this Agreement is not
terminated as to such Property pursuant to this Article 10, Tenant shall
commence (or cause to be commenced) promptly and continue diligently to perform
(or cause to be performed) the repair and restoration of such Property
(hereinafter called the “Work”), so as to restore (or cause to be
restored) the applicable Property in material compliance with all Legal
Requirements and so that such Property shall be, to the extent practicable,
substantially equivalent in value and general utility to its general utility
and value immediately prior to such damage or destruction.  Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall
advance the insurance proceeds and any additional amounts payable by Landlord
pursuant to Section 10.2.3 or otherwise deposited with Landlord to
Tenant regularly during the repair and restoration period so as to permit
payment for the cost of 

36

 

any such restoration and repair.  Any such advances shall be made not more
than monthly within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant submits to Landlord a
written requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or
on such other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord).  Landlord may, at its option, condition
advancement of such insurance proceeds and other amounts on (i) the absence of
any Event of Default, (ii) its approval of plans and specifications of an
architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iii) general contractors’ estimates, (iv)
architect’s certificates, (v) conditional lien waivers of general contractors,
if available, (vi) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and
other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, (vii), if Tenant has
elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to Section 10.2.3, Tenant
depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and (viii) such other certificates
as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.

Landlord’s obligation to disburse insurance proceeds
under this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds
by any Facility Mortgagee to Landlord.

Tenant’s obligation to restore the applicable Property
pursuant to this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of available
insurance proceeds by the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord or directly
to Tenant and, in the event such proceeds are insufficient, Landlord electing
to make such deficiency available therefor (and disbursement of such
deficiency).

10.3        Damage
Near End of Term.  Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 10.1 or 10.2 to
the contrary, if damage to or destruction of any Property occurs during the
last twelve (12) months of the Term and if such damage or destruction cannot
reasonably be expected to be fully repaired and restored prior to the date that
is six (6) months prior to the end of the Term, the provisions of Section 10.2.1
shall apply as if such Property had been totally or partially destroyed and the
Facility thereon rendered Unsuitable for its Permitted Use.

10.4        Tenant’s
Property.  All insurance proceeds payable by reason
of any loss of or damage to any of Tenant’s Personal Property shall be paid to
Tenant and, to the extent necessary to repair or replace Tenant’s Personal
Property in accordance with Section 10.5, Tenant shall hold such
proceeds in trust to pay the cost of repairing or replacing damaged Tenant’s
Personal Property.

10.5        Restoration
of Tenant’s Property.  If Tenant is
required to restore any Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either
(a) restore all alterations and improvements made by Tenant and Tenant’s
Personal Property, or (b) replace such alterations and improvements and
Tenant’s Personal Property with improvements or items of the same or better
quality and utility in the operation of such Property.

10.6        No
Abatement of Rent.  This Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to make all
payments of Rent

37

 

and to
pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain
unabated during the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof (provided that Landlord shall credit against
such payments any amounts paid to Landlord as a consequence of such damage
under any business interruption insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder).  The provisions of this Article 10
shall be considered an express agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction
to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, no local or State statute, laws, rules, regulation or
ordinance in effect during the Term which provide for such a contingency shall
have any application in such case.

10.7        Waiver.  Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may
arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof.

ARTICLE 11

CONDEMNATION

11.1        Total
Condemnation, Etc.  If either (i)
the whole of any Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation
of less than the whole of any Property renders any Property Unsuitable for Its
Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property,
Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in the applicable
Property as provided in Section 11.5.

11.2        Partial
Condemnation.  In the event of a Condemnation
of less than the whole of any Property such that such Property is still
suitable for its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, to the extent of the Award and
any additional amounts disbursed by Landlord as hereinafter provided, commence
(or cause to be commenced) promptly and continue diligently to restore (or
cause to be restored) the untaken portion of the applicable Leased Improvements
so that such Leased Improvements shall constitute a complete architectural unit
of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under
the circumstances) as such Leased Improvements existing immediately prior to
such Condemnation, in material compliance with all Legal Requirements, subject
to the provisions of this Section 11.2. 
If the cost of the repair or restoration of the affected Property
exceeds the amount of the Award, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof
which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency
and whether Tenant shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant
having no obligation to do so, except that if Tenant shall elect to make such
funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant
pursuant to this Agreement).  In the
event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of such deficiency,
Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord’s
sole election by Notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s
Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available for application to the
cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency; provided, however,
in such 

38

 

event, upon any
disbursement by Landlord thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as
provided in Section 3.1.1(c).  In
the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency
available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Agreement with respect to the affected Property and the entire Award shall be
allocated as set forth in Section 11.5.

Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall contribute
to the cost of restoration that part of the Award necessary to complete such
repair or restoration, together with severance and other damages awarded for
the taken Leased Improvements and any deficiency Landlord has agreed to
disburse, to Tenant regularly during the restoration period so as to permit
payment for the cost of such repair or restoration.  Landlord may, at its option, condition advancement of such Award
and other amounts on (a) the absence of any Event of Default, (b) its approval
of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (c)
general contractors’ estimates, (iv) architect’s certificates, (d) conditional
lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (e) evidence of approval by
all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is
required, (f), if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to
the preceding paragraph, Tenant depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and
(g) such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably
require.  Landlord’s obligation under
this Section 11.2 to disburse the Award and such other amounts shall be
subject to (x) the collection thereof by Landlord and (y) the satisfaction of
any applicable requirements of any Facility Mortgage, and the release of such
Award by the applicable Facility Mortgagee. 
Tenant’s obligation to restore the Leased Property shall be subject to
the release of the Award by the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord.

11.3        Abatement of
Rent.  Other than as specifically provided in this
Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s
obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and
when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term
notwithstanding any Condemnation involving the Leased Property, or any portion
thereof.  The provisions of this Article
11 shall be considered an express agreement governing any Condemnation
involving the Leased Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no
local or State statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance in effect during the
Term which provides for such a contingency shall have any application in such
case.

11.4        Temporary
Condemnation.  In the event of any temporary
Condemnation of any Property or Tenant’s interest therein, this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay (or cause to
be paid), in the manner and on the terms herein specified, the full amount of
the Rent.  Tenant shall continue to
perform and observe (or cause to be performed and observed) all of the other
terms and conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Tenant to be
performed and observed.  Provided no
Event of Default has 

 

39

 

occurred and is
continuing, the entire amount of any Award made for such temporary Condemnation
allocable to the Term, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall
be paid to Tenant.  Tenant shall,
promptly upon the termination of any such period of temporary Condemnation, at
its sole cost and expense, restore the affected Property to the condition that
existed immediately prior to such Condemnation, in material compliance with all
applicable Legal Requirements, unless such period of temporary Condemnation
shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, in which event Tenant shall not
be required to make such restoration.

 

11.5        Allocation
of Award.  Except as provided in Section 11.4 and
the second sentence of this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be
solely the property of and payable to Landlord.  Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant’s
leasehold interest in the Leased Property, loss of business during the
remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant’s Personal Property, the taking of
Capital Additions paid for by Tenant and Tenant’s removal and relocation
expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to Tenant (subject to the
provisions of Section 11.2).  In
any Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award
in conformity herewith, at its own expense.

ARTICLE 12

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

12.1        Events of
Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

(a)           should Tenant fail to make any
payment of the Rent or any other sum payable hereunder when due; or

(b)           should Tenant fail to maintain the
insurance coverages required under Article 9; or

(c)           should Tenant default in the due
observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements
contained herein to be performed or observed by it (other than as specified in
clauses (a) and (b) above) and should such default continue for a period of
thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided,
however, that if such default is susceptible of cure but such cure
cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such period of time and if, in
addition, Tenant commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within
thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord and thereafter prosecutes
the curing of such default with all due diligence, such period of time shall be
extended to such period of time (not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days
in the aggregate) as may be necessary to cure such default with all due
diligence; or

40

 

(d)           should any obligation of Tenant in
respect of any Indebtedness for money borrowed or for any material property or
services, or any guaranty relating thereto, be declared to be or become due and
payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, or should there occur and be
continuing with respect to any such Indebtedness any event of default under any
instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the same, the effect of which is
to permit the holder or holders of such instrument or agreement or a trustee,
agent or other representative on behalf of such holder or holders, to cause any
such obligations to become due prior to its stated maturity; or

(e)           should an event of default by Tenant,
any Guarantor or any Affiliated Person as to Tenant or any Guarantor occur and
be continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period under any of
the Incidental Documents; or

(f)            should Tenant or any Guarantor
generally not be paying its debts as they become due or should Tenant or any
Guarantor make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(g)           should any petition be filed by or
against Tenant or any Guarantor under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or should
any other proceeding be instituted by or against Tenant or any Guarantor
seeking to adjudicate Tenant or any Guarantor a bankrupt or insolvent, or
seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of
Tenant’s debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for
relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar
official for Tenant or any Guarantor or for any substantial part of the
property of Tenant or any Guarantor and such proceeding is not dismissed within
one hundred eighty (180) days after institution thereof; or

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

(i)            should the estate or interest of
Tenant in the Leased Property or any part thereof be levied upon or attached in
any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later
of (x) ninety (90) days after commencement thereof, unless the amount in
dispute is less than $250,000, in which case Tenant shall give notice to
Landlord of the dispute but Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y) two
hundred seventy (270) days after receipt by Tenant of Notice thereof from
Landlord (unless Tenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good
faith in accordance with Article 8); or

(j)            should there occur any direct or
indirect Change in Control of Tenant or any Guarantor, except as otherwise
permitted by Article 16; or

41

 

(k)           should a final unappealable
determination be made by the applicable Government Agency that Tenant shall
have failed to comply with applicable Medicare and/or Medicaid regulations in
the operation of any Facility, as a result of which failure Tenant is declared
ineligible to receive reimbursements under the Medicare and/or Medicaid
programs for such Facility;

then, and in any such event, Landlord, in addition to
all other remedies available to it, may terminate this Agreement with respect
to any or all of the Leased Property by giving Notice thereof to Tenant and
upon the expiration of the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this Agreement
shall terminate with respect to all or the designated portion of the Leased
Property and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement with respect thereto
shall cease.  Landlord shall have and
may exercise all rights and remedies available at law and in equity to Landlord
as a result of Tenant’s breach of this Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord
may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof, and take possession of any and all of
Tenant’s Personal Property, if any, and the Records, without liability for
trespass or conversion (Tenant hereby waiving any right to notice or hearing
prior to such taking of possession by Landlord) and sell the same at public or
private sale, after giving Tenant reasonable Notice of the time and place of
any public or private sale, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase
all or any portion of Tenant’s Personal Property, if any, unless otherwise
prohibited by law.  Unless otherwise
provided by law and without intending to exclude any other manner of giving
Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable Notice shall be met if
such Notice is given at least ten (10) days before the date of sale.  The proceeds from any such disposition, less
all expenses incurred in connection with the taking of possession, holding and
selling of such property (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be
applied as a credit against the indebtedness which is secured by the security
interest granted in Section 7.2. 
Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law and
Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as Additional Charges, upon
demand.

12.2        Remedies.  None of (a) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
12.1, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof,
(c) the failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Property, or any portion
thereof, nor (d) the reletting of all or any of portion of the Leased Property,
shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall
survive any such termination, repossession or reletting.  In the event of any such termination, Tenant
shall forthwith pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable with respect to the
Leased Property, or terminated portion thereof, through and including the date
of such termination.  Thereafter,
Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Agreement in the
absence of such termination, and whether or not the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord for, and
shall pay to Landlord, as current 

42

 

damages,
the Rent (Additional Rent to be reasonably calculated by Landlord based on
historical Net Patient Revenues) and other charges which would be payable
hereunder for the remainder of the Term had such termination not occurred, less
the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, after deducting all reasonable expenses in connection with
such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs,
brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, advertising, expenses
of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such
reletting.  Tenant shall pay such
current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Minimum Rent would
have been payable hereunder if this Agreement had not been so terminated with
respect to such of the Leased Property.

At any time after such termination, whether or not
Landlord shall have collected any such current damages, as liquidated final
damages beyond the date of such termination, at Landlord’s election, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the present value (as reasonably
determined by Landlord) of the excess, if any, of the Rent and other charges
which would be payable hereunder from the date of such termination (assuming
that, for the purposes of this paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account
of Impositions and Additional Rent would be the same as payments required for
the immediately preceding twelve calendar months, or if less than twelve
calendar months have expired since the Commencement Date, the payments required
for such lesser period projected to an annual amount) for what would be the
then unexpired term of this Agreement if the same remained in effect, over the
fair market rental for the same period. 
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice
the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or
insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law
in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages
are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less
than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

In case of any
Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings
or otherwise, Landlord may, (a) relet the Leased Property or any part or parts
thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which
may at Landlord’s option, be equal to, less than or exceed the period which
would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant
concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers advisable and
necessary to relet the same, and (b) may make such reasonable alterations,
repairs and decorations in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, as
Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable and
necessary for the purpose of reletting the Leased Property; and the making of
such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to
release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.  Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for
any failure to relet all or any portion of the Leased Property, or, in the
event that the Leased Property is relet, for failure to collect the rent under
such 

43

 

reletting.  To the maximum
extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of
redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant
being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession
of the Leased Property, by reason of the occurrence and continuation of an
Event of Default hereunder.

 

12.3        Tenant’s Waiver.
 IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION
12.1 OR 12.2, TENANT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE THE REMEDIES SET
FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 12, AND THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER
IN FORCE EXEMPTING PROPERTY FROM LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT.

12.4        Application
of Funds.  Any payments received by Landlord under any
of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of any
Event of Default (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to
the existence of any Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant’s current and
past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may
determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.  Any balance shall be paid to Tenant.

12.5        Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s
Default.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant (which Notice shall not be
required if Landlord shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary
to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of
Tenant and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default, may (but shall
not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such payment or perform such
act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property, or any portion
thereof, for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s
sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of
Tenant.  All reasonable costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred
by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are paid
by Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.

ARTICLE 13

HOLDING OVER

Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or
sooner termination of this Agreement shall be treated as a daily tenancy at
sufferance at a rate equal to two (2) times the Minimum Rent and other charges
herein provided (prorated on a daily basis). 
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages (direct or indirect)
sustained by reason of any such holding over. 
Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, to the 

44

 

extent applicable. 
Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or
implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 14

LANDLORD DEFAULT

If Landlord shall default in the performance or
observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement
or any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement affecting the Leased
Property, the performance of which is not Tenant’s obligation pursuant to this
Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days
after Notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord and any applicable Facility
Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be reasonably required to correct
the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a “Landlord Default” by a
second Notice to Landlord and to such Facility Mortgagee.  Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the
same and, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord
for costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs)
incurred by Tenant in curing the same, together with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by law) from the date Landlord receives Tenant’s invoice until
paid, at the Overdue Rate.  Tenant shall
have no right to terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder
and no right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent
or other charges due hereunder.

If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence
of any Landlord Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable
cure period, shall give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the basis therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred
and Landlord shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse
determination thereof.  If Tenant and
Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such dispute within ten (10)
days after Landlord’s Notice of dispute, either may submit the matter for
resolution in accordance with Article 22.

ARTICLE 15

PURCHASE RIGHTS

Landlord shall
have the option to purchase Tenant’s Personal Property, at the expiration or
sooner termination of this Agreement, for an amount equal to the then fair market
value thereof (current replacement cost as determined by agreement of the
parties or, in the absence of such agreement, appraisal), subject to, and with
appropriate price adjustments for, all equipment leases, conditional sale
contracts, UCC-1 financing statements and other encumbrances to which
such Personal Property is subject.  Upon
the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall use its
reasonable efforts to transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred and
assigned, to Landlord or its designee, or assist Landlord or its 

 

45

 

designee in obtaining, any contracts, licenses, and certificates
required for the then operation of the Leased Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
expressly acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Article 15
shall diminish, impair or otherwise modify Landlord’s rights under the Security
Agreement and that any amounts paid by Landlord in order to purchase Tenant’s
Personal Property in accordance with this Article 15 shall be applied first to
Tenant’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as
Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the
State and any balance shall be paid to Tenant.

ARTICLE 16

SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

16.1        Subletting
and Assignment.  Except as provided in Section
16.3, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent (which
consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion),
assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this
Agreement or sublease or permit the sublease (which term shall be deemed to
include the granting of concessions, licenses and the like), of the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof, or suffer or permit this Agreement or the
leasehold estate created hereby or any other rights arising under this
Agreement to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or
encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by
operation of law, or permit the use or operation of the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, any Manager approved by Landlord
pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement or residents and
patients of Tenant, or the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, to be
offered or advertised for assignment or subletting.

For purposes of this Section 16.1, an
assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed to include, without limitation,
any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant.

If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased
Property, or any portion, thereof is sublet (or occupied by anybody other than
Tenant or any Manager, their respective employees or residents or patients of
Tenant), Landlord may collect the rents from such assignee, subtenant or
occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent
herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the
provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 16.1, the
acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may
be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by Tenant
of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement.

Any assignment or transfer of Tenant’s interest under
this Agreement (including any sublease which is permitted pursuant to the 

 

46

 

terms of Section 16.3 below) shall be subject to such assignee’s
or transferee’s delivery to Landlord of (i) a Guaranty, which Guaranty shall be
in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which
Guaranty shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; (ii) a pledge of
the stock, partnership, membership or other ownership interests of such
assignee or other transferee to secure Tenant’s obligations under this
Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which pledge shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which pledge shall
constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; (iii) a security agreement
granting Landlord a security interest in all of such assignee’s or transferee’s
right, title and interest in and to any personal property, intangibles and
fixtures (other than accounts receivable) with respect to any Property which is
subject to any such assignment or transfer to secure Tenant’s obligations under
this Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which security agreement shall be
in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which
security agreement shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder; and (iv)
in the case of a sublease, an assignment which assigns all of such subtenant’s
right, title and interest in such sublease to Landlord to secure Tenant’s
obligations under this Agreement and the Incidental Documents, which assignment
shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion
and which assignment shall constitute an Incidental Document hereunder.

 

No subletting or
assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant
hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant expressly otherwise agree that Tenant
shall be released from all obligations hereunder), and no consent to any
subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a
waiver of the prohibition set forth in this Section 16.1.  No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall
affect any Permitted Use.  Any
subletting, assignment or other transfer of Tenant’s interest under this
Agreement in contravention of this Section 16.1 shall be voidable at
Landlord’s option.

 

16.2        Required
Sublease Provisions.  Any sublease
of all or any portion of the Leased Property entered into on or after the date
hereof shall provide (a) that it is subject and subordinate to this Agreement
and to the matters to which this Agreement is or shall be subject or
subordinate; (b) that in the event of termination of this Agreement or reentry
or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Agreement, Landlord may, at
its option, terminate such sublease or take over all of the right, title and
interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease, and such subtenant shall,
at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory
provisions of such sublease, except that neither Landlord nor any Facility
Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this Agreement, if such
mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (i) be liable for any act or
omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any credit,
counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such subtenant
against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease
not consented to in writing by Landlord 

 

47

 

or by any previous
prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent, (iv) be bound by any covenant of
Tenant to undertake or complete any construction of the applicable Property, or
any portion thereof, (v) be required to account for any security deposit of the
subtenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to Landlord by
Tenant, (vi) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such subtenant
or grant any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration
provided for under the sublease that are performed after the date of such
attornment, (vii) be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the credit
of such subtenant unless actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant, or (viii) be
required to remove any Person occupying any portion of the Leased Property; and
(c), in the event that such subtenant receives a written Notice from Landlord
or any Facility Mortgagee stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals
accruing under such sublease directly to the party giving such Notice or as
such party may direct.  All rentals
received from such subtenant by Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee, as the case
may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Tenant under this
Agreement and such sublease shall provide that the subtenant thereunder shall,
at the request of Landlord, execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of
such agreement to attorn.  An original
counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed
by Tenant and such subtenant or assignee, as the case may be, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be delivered promptly to
Landlord and (a) in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in
writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Agreement on the
part of Tenant to be kept and performed and shall be, and become, jointly and
severally liable with Tenant for the performance thereof and (b) in case of
either an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable, as
principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be
performed by Tenant hereunder.

 

The provisions of this Section 16.2 shall not
be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of Section
16.1.

16.3        Permitted
Sublease   Notwithstanding the foregoing, including,
without limitation, Section 16.2, but subject to the provisions of Section
16.4 and any other express conditions or limitations set forth herein,
Tenant may, in each instance after Notice to Landlord, (a) enter into third
party residency agreements with respect to the units located at the Facilities,
(b) sublease space at any Property for laundry, commissary or child care
purposes or other concessions in furtherance of the Permitted Use, so long as
such subleases will not reduce the number of units at any Facility, will not
violate or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Tenant
shall provide such additional insurance coverage applicable to the activities
to be conducted in such subleased space as Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee
may reasonably require, and (c) enter into one or more subleases with
Affiliated Persons of Tenant with respect to the Leased Property, or any
portion 

48

 

thereof, provided Tenant gives Landlord Notice
of the material terms and conditions thereof. 
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that if Tenant enters into one
(1) or more subleases with Affiliated Persons of Tenant with respect to any
Property, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the preceding clause (c),
Tenant may allocate the rent and other charges with respect to the affected
Property in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that such
allocation shall not affect Tenant’s (nor any Guarantor’s) liability for the
Rent and other obligations of Tenant under this Agreement; and, provided,
further, that Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any
allocation or reallocation of the rent and other charges with respect to the
affected Property and, in any event, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice
of the amount of such allocations at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
date that Landlord or Senior Housing Properties Trust is required to file any
tax returns in any State where such affected Lease Property is located.

16.4        Sublease
Limitation.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, on any basis such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee
thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits
derived by the business activities of such sublessee, any other formula such
that any portion of such sublease rental would fail to qualify as “rents from
real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar
or successor provision thereto or would otherwise disqualify Landlord for
treatment as a real estate investment trust.

ARTICLE 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

17.1        Estoppel
Certificates.  At any time and from time to
time, but not more than a reasonable number of times per year, upon not less
than ten (10) Business Days prior Notice by either party, the party receiving
such Notice shall furnish to the other an Officer’s Certificate certifying that
this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that this
Agreement is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth the
modifications), the date to which the Rent has been paid, that no Default or an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, if a Default or an Event of
Default shall exist, specifying in reasonable detail the nature thereof, and
the steps being taken to remedy the same, and such additional information as
the requesting party may reasonably request. 
Any such certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 17.1 may
be relied upon by the requesting party, its lenders and any prospective
purchaser or mortgagee of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the
leasehold estate created hereby.

17.2        Financial
Statements.  Tenant shall furnish or cause Five Star to
furnish, as applicable, the following statements to Landlord:

49

each of the first three fiscal quarters of any Fiscal Year, the most recent
Consolidated Financials, accompanied by the Financial Officer’s Certificate;

(b)           within ninety (90) days after the end
of each Fiscal Year, the most recent Consolidated Financials and financials of
Tenant for such year, certified by an independent certified public accountant
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and accompanied by a Financial Officer’s
Certificate;

(c)           within forty-five (45) days after the

period as may be reasonable under the circumstances, any Consolidated
Financials, Tenant financials or any other audited or unaudited financial
reporting information required to be filed by Landlord with any securities and
exchange commission, the SEC or any successor agency, or any other governmental
authority, or required pursuant to any order issued by any court, governmental
authority or arbitrator in any litigation to which Landlord is a party, for
purposes of compliance therewith; provided, however, that, except
as to calculations pertaining to Net Patient Revenues, Tenant shall not be
required to provide audited financials with respect to any individual Facility
unless Landlord shall agree to pay for the cost thereof;

(e)           promptly, after receipt or sending
thereof, copies of all notices given or received by Tenant under any Management
Agreement; and

(f)            promptly, upon Notice from Landlord,
such other information concerning the business, financial condition and affairs
of Tenant and any Guarantor as Landlord reasonably may request from time to

ARTICLE 20

FACILITY MORTGAGES

20.1        Landlord
May Grant Liens.  Without the consent of Tenant,
Landlord may, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
cause to exist any lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement (“Encumbrance”)
upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or interest therein, whether
to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing.

20.2        Subordination
of Lease.  This Agreement and any and all rights of
Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or
master lease, and all renewals, extensions, modifications and replacements
thereof, and to all mortgages and deeds of trust, which may now or hereafter
affect the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or any improvements thereon
and/or any of such leases, whether or not such mortgages or deeds of trust
shall also cover other lands and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every
advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages and deeds of trust,
and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases
and such mortgages and deeds of trust and all consolidations of such mortgages
and deeds of trust.  This section shall
be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination 

52

 

shall be
required.  In confirmation of such
subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any
instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any
such mortgage or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust or any of
their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such
subordination.  Any lease to which this
Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called
“Superior Lease” and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in
interest at the time referred to is herein called “Superior Landlord”
and any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Agreement is, at the time
referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Mortgage”
and the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior Mortgage is herein called
“Superior Mortgagee”.  Tenant
shall have no obligations under any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage other
than those expressly set forth in this Section 20.2.

If any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee or the
nominee or designee of any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee shall
succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Agreement (any such person, “Successor
Landlord”), whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of
a new lease or deed, or otherwise, at such Successor Landlord’s request, Tenant
shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under
this Agreement and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument
that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment
(provided that such instrument does not alter the terms of this Agreement),
whereupon, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as a direct
lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms,
conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Agreement, except that the
Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this Agreement or its
nominee or designee) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act
or omission, neglect or default on the part of any prior Landlord under this
Agreement, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with any prior
Landlord to the credit of Tenant (except to the extent actually paid or
delivered to the Successor Landlord), (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff
which theretofore accrued to Tenant against any prior Landlord, (d) bound by
any modification of this Agreement subsequent to such Superior Lease or Mortgage,
or by any previous prepayment of Rent for more than one (1) month in advance of
the date due hereunder, which was not approved in writing by the Superior
Landlord or the Superior Mortgagee thereto, (e) liable to Tenant beyond the
Successor Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property and the rents, income,
receipts, revenues, issues and profits issuing from the Leased Property, (f)
responsible for the performance of any work to be done by the Landlord under
this Agreement to render the Leased Property ready for occupancy by Tenant
(subject to Landlord’s obligations under Section 5.1.2(b) or with
respect to any insurance or Condemnation proceeds), or (g) required to remove
any Person occupying the Leased Property or any part thereof, except if such person
claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord.  Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a
suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant’s agreement to attorn, as
aforesaid and 

 

53

 

Landlord agrees to
provide Tenant with an instrument of nondisturbance and attornment from each
such Superior Mortgagee and Superior Landlord (other than the lessors under any
ground leases with respect to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof) in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Successor Landlord shall be
liable (a) to pay to Tenant any amounts owed under Section 5.1.2(b), and
(b) to pay to Tenant any portions of insurance proceeds or Awards received by
Landlord or the Successor Landlord required to be paid to Tenant pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, and, as a condition to any mortgage, lien or lease
in respect of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and the
subordination of this Agreement thereto, the mortgagee, lienholder or lessor,
as applicable, shall expressly agree, for the benefit of Tenant, to make such
payments, which agreement shall be embodied in an instrument in form reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant.

20.3        Notice to Mortgagee and Superior
Landlord.  Subsequent to the receipt by Tenant of Notice
from Landlord as to the identity of any Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord
under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which includes the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof, as part of the demised premises and which
complies with Section 20.1 (which Notice shall be accompanied by a copy
of the applicable mortgage or lease), no Notice from Tenant to Landlord as to a
default by Landlord under this Agreement shall be effective with respect to a
Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord unless and until a copy of the same is
given to such Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord at the address set forth
in the above described Notice, and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults
within the applicable notice and cure periods set forth in Article 14
by such Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord shall be treated as performance
by Landlord.

adverse change in the business, operations, property, prospects, results of
operation or condition, financial or other, of Tenant.  Forthwith upon Tenant obtaining knowledge of
any Default, Event of Default or any default or event of default under any
agreement relating to Indebtedness for money borrowed in an aggregate amount
exceeding, at any one time, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), or
any event or condition that would be required to be disclosed in a current
report filed by Tenant on Form 8-K or in Part II of a quarterly report on
Form 10-Q if Tenant were required to file such reports under the

ARTICLE 22

ARBITRATION

Landlord or Tenant may elect to submit any dispute
hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to
arbitration hereunder.  Any such
arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Association then pertaining and
the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding,
final and conclusive on the parties.

In the event Landlord or Tenant shall elect to submit
any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, Landlord and Tenant shall each
appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at
least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject
matter of the dispute.  Notice of such
appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the
arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty
(30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so
submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator. 
If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as
aforesaid, for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice from the other
party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party
having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2)
so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision
within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a
third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the
second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the
American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and
shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional
experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the
proceedings shall be borne equally between Landlord and Tenant, unless the
arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees
of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses
and other witnesses called for the parties, shall be paid by the respective
party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered
within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator.  Such decision shall be in writing and in
duplicate, one counterpart thereof to be delivered to Landlord and one to
Tenant.  A judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award of the arbitrators in
accordance with the rules and statutes applicable thereto then obtaining.

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, to the
extent any such dispute shall involve any Manager and be subject to arbitration
pursuant to such Manager’s Management Agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall
cooperate to consolidate any such arbitration hereunder and under such
Management Agreement into a single proceeding.

ARTICLE 23

MISCELLANEOUS

23.1        Limitation
on Payment of Rent.  All agreements
between Landlord and Tenant herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or
otherwise, shall the Rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord under this
Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law, the benefit of
which may be asserted by Tenant as a defense, and if, from any circumstance
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time performance
of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of
validity prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Landlord should ever
receive as fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso
facto, the amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the
reduction of the installment(s) of Minimum Rent next due and not to the payment
of such excessive amount.  This
provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement and any other
agreements between Landlord and Tenant.

23.2        No Waiver.  No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict
performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of
any such breach or of any such term.  To
the maximum extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or
alter this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect with
respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

23.3        Remedies
Cumulative.  To the maximum extent permitted by law,
each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or
Tenant, now or hereafter provided either in this Agreement or by statute or
otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers
and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by
Landlord of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.

23.4        Severability.
 Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or
provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or  nullify the remainder of this Agreement, but
rather the effect thereof shall be confined to the clause, sentence, paragraph,
section or provision so held to be invalid, illegal or ineffective, and this
Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or ineffective
provisions had never been contained therein.

 

59

 

23.5        Acceptance
of Surrender.  No surrender to Landlord of
this Agreement or of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or of any
interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in
writing by Landlord and no act by Landlord or any representative or agent of Landlord,
other than such a written acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute an
acceptance of any such surrender.

23.6        No Merger of
Title.  It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that
it is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this Agreement
or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same
Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly this Agreement or the
leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate or ground landlord’s
interest in the Leased Property.

23.7        Conveyance
by Landlord.  If Landlord or any successor
owner of all or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any
portion of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than
as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased
Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising
or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Landlord or
such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all
future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Agreement with
respect to such of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the
date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations
shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.

23.8        Quiet
Enjoyment.  Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Leased Property for the Term, free of hindrance or molestation by
Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, but subject to (a)
any Encumbrance permitted under Article 20 or otherwise permitted to be
created by Landlord hereunder, (b) all Permitted Encumbrances, (c) liens as to
obligations of Landlord that are either not yet due or which are being contested
in good faith and by proper proceedings, provided the same do not materially
interfere with Tenant’s ability to operate any Facility and (d) liens that have
been consented to in writing by Tenant. 
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no failure by Landlord
to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Tenant any right to cancel or
terminate this Agreement or abate, reduce or make a deduction from or offset
against the Rent or any other sum payable under this Agreement, or to fail to
perform any other obligation of Tenant hereunder.

23.9        No Recordation. 
Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Agreement.

 Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, Tenant or
Landlord arising prior to any date of termination or expiration of this
Agreement with respect to the Leased Property shall survive such termination or
expiration.  In no event shall Landlord
be liable for any consequential damages suffered by Tenant as the result of a
breach of this Agreement by Landlord. 
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party
to be charged.

61

 

All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Each term or provision of this Agreement to
be performed by Tenant shall be construed as an independent covenant and
condition.  Time is of the essence with
respect to the provisions of this Agreement. 
Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any obligations of
Tenant (including without limitation, any monetary, repair and indemnification
obligations) and Landlord shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of
this Agreement.  Whenever it is provided
in this Agreement that Tenant shall direct any Manager to take any action,
Tenant shall not be deemed to have satisfied such obligation unless Tenant
shall have exhausted all applicable rights and remedies of Tenant as “Owner”
under such Manager’s Management Agreement.

23.12      Counterparts;
Headings.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but which, when taken
together, shall constitute but one instrument and shall become effective as of
the date hereof when copies hereof, which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the parties hereto shall have been signed.  Headings in this Agreement are for purposes
of reference only and shall not limit or affect the meaning of the provisions
hereof.

23.13      Applicable Law,
Etc.  This Agreement shall be interpreted,
construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts applicable to contracts between residents of Massachusetts
