      Term
      (but not thereafter), First Earn Out Payment Rent shall be due at the same

      Tenant or Manager who are not direct employees of the Facility, including but
      not limited to the executive director of the Facility, be paid as a Property

      by
      Tenant or Manager independently.

      of Daniel interests in
      Tenant to ARC.
