2.2.Renewal Terms.  Unless (a) this Master Lease has been terminated in accordance with its terms, or (b) an Event of Default (as defined in Section 12.1) has occurred and is continuing at the time any extension option may be exercised or at any time after such exercise and prior to the commencement of a Renewal Term (as defined below) or (c) there exists, at the time any extension option may be exercised or at any time after such exercise and prior to the commencement of a Renewal Term, an event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, may become an Event of Default, the Term (as defined in Section 2.2.1) may be extended by Tenant for two (2) separate renewal terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) of five (5) years each, upon the satisfaction of all of the following terms and conditions:

2.2.1.Not more than thirty (30) days before or after the date which is nine (9) months prior to the end of the then current Primary Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, with respect to the Mira Vista Property and the Spartanburg Property, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice that Tenant desires to exercise its right to extend the then current Term with respect to both the Mira Vista Property and the Spartanburg Property for one (1) Renewal Term; provided, however, if Tenant gives such exercise notice at a time when the extension option is not exercisable due to the occurrence of an event or circumstance as described in Section 2.2(c), then (i) the time period for the giving of such notice automatically shall be deemed extended by the then remaining cure period, if any, applicable to such event or occurrence, and (ii) if such event or circumstance is thereafter timely cured, such notice automatically shall be deemed to have been given on the date as of which such cure has been effected.

Rent

.  

3.1.Rent.  Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.2 and Section 3.4 below, annual minimum rent (“Fixed Annual Rent”) payable hereunder shall be in an amount equal to Eight Million Four Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Six Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($8,452,650.00), payable in advance in equal monthly installments of Seven Hundred Four Thousand Three Hundred Eighty-Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($704,387.50) (“Fixed Monthly Rent”) on the twentieth (20th) day of each calendar month of the Term commencing on the Commencement Date; provided, however, that if such day is not a Business Day (as defined hereinafter), the applicable Fixed Monthly Rent shall be payable on the immediately preceding Business Day.  For illustration purposes, an allocation of the Fixed Annual Rent by each Facility is set forth in Schedule 3.1 attached 

4

 

hereto and incorporated herein.  The term “Business Day” shall mean any day on which banking institutions in Nashville, Tennessee are open for the conduct of normal banking business. 

3.2.Escalation of Fixed Annual Rent.  On the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) anniversary of the Commencement Date, Fixed Annual Rent will increase to lesser of (a) the amount equal to the CPI Factor (as defined herein) multiplied times the Fixed Annual Rent in effect for the immediately preceding Lease Year, and (b) the amount equal to one hundred one and one-half percent (101.5%) of the Fixed Annual Rent in effect for the immediately preceding Lease Year; provided, however, that the Fixed Annual Rent shall never be less than the Fixed Annual Rent in effect for the immediately preceding Lease Year.  The “CPI Factor” is the percentage equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Index (as defined herein) most recently published prior to the first day of the new Lease Year (the “Numerator Index”) and the denominator of which is the then current Index on the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the date on which the Numerator Index was published.  The term “Index” shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the U.S. City Average for All Items (1982-84=100), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.  Thereafter, on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each subsequent anniversary of the Commencement Date occurring during the Primary Term and any Renewal Term,  the Fixed Annual Rent will increase to one hundred two percent (102%) of the Fixed Annual Rent in effect for the immediately preceding Lease Year. 

3.3.Proration for Partial Periods. The Fixed Monthly Rent for any partial month during the Term shall be prorated based on actual days elapsed.

3.4.Rental Adjustment Related to Mountain’s Edge Capital Addition Project.  Pursuant to Section 25.1 herein, Landlord has agreed to fund to Tenant an aggregate amount of up to Eleven Million and No/100 Dollars ($11,000,000.00) for the Mountain’s Edge Capital Addition Project (as defined in Section 25.1 herein) in accordance with the Mountain’s Edge Work Letter (as defined in Section 25.1 herein).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Lease, effective as of the 20th day of the calendar month following the date of Landlord’s first advance of any portion of Landlord’s Maximum Cost (as defined in the Work Letter) and on the 20th day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term, in addition to the Fixed Monthly Rent due on such 20th calendar day, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional monthly payment (the “Mountain’s Edge Supplemental Rent Payment”) in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the product of (A) the total Landlord’s Maximum Cost actually advanced by Landlord, together with imputed interest at nine and one-quarter percent (9.25%) per annum for the period of time from such advance to the date on which the Mountain’s Edge Supplement Rent Payment includes such advance, times (B) nine and one-quarter percent (9.25%) (the “Mountain’s Edge Capital Addition Rate”).  Following the Completion Date (as defined in the Work Letter) of the Mountain’s Edge Capital Addition Project, at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, the Parties shall execute a written amendment to this Master Lease memorializing the final adjustment to the Fixed Annual Rent (as set forth in Section 3.1 herein) and the allocation of such rent to the Mountain’s Edge Property (as set forth in Schedule 3.1).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of either Landlord or Tenant to request and/or the failure of either Party to execute and deliver any such written amendment to this Master Lease shall not (a) affect Landlord’s determination of the amount of each month’s Mountain’s Edge Supplemental Rent Payment, or (b) affect Tenant’s obligation to pay the Mountain’s Edge Supplemental Rent Payment on the 20th day of each calendar month after the first advance is made by Landlord under the Work Letter.  Until such time as the Mountain’s Edge Supplemental Rental Payment is memorialized in a written amendment to the Master Lease as contemplated by the preceding sentence, on each anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Mountain’s Edge Capital Addition Rate shall increase by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the Fixed Annual Rent occurring on each anniversary of the Commencement Date pursuant to Section 3.2.

3.5.Restatement Date Rent Payment.  As consideration for Landlord agreeing to enter into this Master Lease, on the Restatement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following sums:  (a) all rents due and payable, prior to the Commencement Date, by the Operators to Landlord under the Original Leases (including any outstanding deferred rental payments under the Mountain’s Edge Lease), (b) all Monthly Fixed Rent payments (prorated for any partial months) due and payable, after the Commencement Date and through the Restatement Date, by Tenant to Landlord under this Master Lease, (c) all Replacement Reserve Payments (as defined in Section 6.7 herein) (prorated for any partial months) due and payable, after the Commencement Date and through the Restatement Date, by Tenant to Landlord under this Master Lease, and (d) an amount equal to all reasonable and 

5

 

documented attorneys’ fees and legal costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Master Lease and the transaction contemplated by this Master Lease. 

3.6.Absolute Net Lease.  All Fixed Annual Rent and any other rent payments or other payments or obligations owed to Landlord under this Master Lease shall be absolutely net to Landlord, and, during the entire Term, Landlord shall have no cost obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for repairing, operating, maintaining or owning the Premises.  Accordingly, Tenant shall pay Fixed Annual Rent to Landlord during the Term free of any deduction, diminution or payment obligation on the part of Landlord for all Taxes (as defined in Section 4.1), assessments, utility charges, operating expenses, insurance premiums and any other charge or expense, levy, fine, fee or cost in connection with the Premises and the ownership, operation and maintenance, repair and replacement thereof, including but not limited to all expenses and charges, whether for upkeep, maintenance, operation, repair, refurnishing, refurbishing, restoration, replacement, insurance premiums, Taxes, utilities, occupational licenses and other permits and other operating or other charges of a like nature, whether known or unknown, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, anticipated or unanticipated, and in effect now or enacted hereafter (the foregoing collectively, “Impositions”). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Master Lease, all Impositions shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and shall be paid by Tenant thirty (30) days before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the non-payment thereof (or sooner if elsewhere herein required). This provision is not in derogation of the specific provisions of this Master Lease, but in expansion thereof and as an indication of the general intentions of the Parties hereto.  Tenant shall continue to pay Fixed Annual Rent and to perform its obligations under this Master Lease even if Tenant claims that Landlord has breached any obligation under this Master Lease or that Tenant has been damaged by any act or omission of Landlord. Therefore, Tenant shall at all times remain obligated to fully and faithfully pay and perform all its obligations under this Master Lease, without any right of set-off, counterclaim, abatement, deduction, or any other reduction. Tenant’s sole right to recover damages against Landlord by reason of a breach or alleged breach of Landlord’s obligations under this Master Lease shall be to pursue, prove and subsequently be awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction a judgment for such damages in a separate action against Landlord. 

Taxes, Assessments and Other Charges

.  

4.1.Tenant’s Obligations.  Tenant agrees to pay and discharge (including the filing of all required returns) directly to the appropriate assessing authority any and all taxes (including, but not limited to, real estate and personal property taxes, business and occupational license taxes, ad valorem sales, use, single business, gross receipts, transaction privilege, franchise taxes, business privilege, rent or other excise taxes) and other assessments levied or assessed against the Premises, Tenant’s interest therein or against Landlord with respect to this Master Lease and/or the Premises (but excluding any state or federal income tax based upon the net income of Landlord) (individually a “Tax” and collectively, “Taxes”), when same shall become due and, in any event, prior to delinquency or imposition of any fine, penalty, interest or other cost.  To the extent that in lieu of the whole or any part of any Taxes levied on the Premises, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax (such as the so-called “margin tax” in Texas), assessment, or a charge based, in whole or in part, upon such rents, then all such taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” to be governed by this Section 4.  The term “Taxes” shall not include any taxes based solely upon the income of Landlord.  All Taxes due and payable for the tax year in which the Term expires, shall be prorated equitably between Landlord and Tenant.

4.2.Right to Protest.  Landlord and/or Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to protest the amount or payment of any Taxes by appropriate legal proceedings diligently conducted in good faith.  Landlord shall, if necessary for Tenant to pursue such protest, join in such protest brought by Tenant, provided that Landlord shall not incur any expense because of any such protest.  Tenant shall in advance of such protest provide such good and sufficient undertaking, if any, as may be required by law to accomplish a stay of any foreclosure, and Tenant shall diligently and continuously prosecute any such protest. In the absence of such undertaking, Tenant shall pay any Tax, assessment or other charge before the imposition of any penalty or interest and, in any event, shall remain responsible for the payment of any such penalty or interest.  If Landlord receives notice that the taxing authority is about to foreclose on the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to make a written demand on Tenant to immediately pay such Taxes and if such Taxes are not so paid, Landlord may draw upon any security deposit (or other undertaking by Tenant as described above) by Tenant, if any, and use such funds to pay Taxes then owing.  

6

 

Any funds advanced by Landlord to pay such Taxes shall constitute an obligation of Tenant to Landlord and shall promptly be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.

4.3.Tax Impounds and Tax Escrow.  Upon an Event of Default (as defined), or if Tenant shall have failed, on any occasion, to pay any Taxes prior to delinquency (absent an active protest of such Taxes which complies with the requirements of Section 4.2), Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to require Tenant to (i) immediately deposit with Landlord an amount equal to all Taxes currently due, and (ii) make monthly deposits with Landlord in such amount as will be sufficient to permit Landlord to pay all Taxes in full from such deposits when next becoming due, and (iii) thereafter to deposit with Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the current annual Taxes on the twentieth (20th)  day of each month in advance, together with such additional amounts as may be required to make payments of Taxes due during said month.  All such deposited amounts will be held by Landlord without interest and will be applied by Landlord against the payment of Taxes as they become due.   Landlord shall deposit all impounded funds in accounts insured by any federal or state agency and shall not commingle such funds with other funds and accounts of Landlord.  Interest or other gains from such funds, if any, shall be the sole property of Landlord.  Upon an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies, Landlord may apply all impounded funds against any sums due from Tenant to Landlord.  Landlord shall give to Tenant an annual accounting showing all credits and debits to and from such impounded funds received from Tenant.  Additionally, Tenant shall be required to maintain with Landlord, or at Landlord’s direction with any Facility Mortgagee (as defined in Section 18.2.2) of Landlord, such reserve accounts for Taxes as may be reasonably required under any Facility Mortgage (as defined in Section 18.2.1) and/or by any Facility Mortgagee.

4.4.Tax Bills and Receipts.  Within ten (10) days after receipt by Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, of a real estate Tax bill relating to the Premises or any part thereof, such party shall deliver to the other party a copy of such Tax bill. Tenant will pay all Taxes related to the Premises before the imposition of any penalty or interest on such Tax payment and, in any event, shall remain responsible for the payment of any such penalty or interest.  Tenant shall promptly forward to Landlord proof of payment of all Taxes, but not later than January 31 of the year following the year to which such Taxes relate.

4.5.Other Charges.  Tenant shall contract in its own name for all utilities and services used at the Premises. Tenant agrees to pay and discharge, punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable without penalty, all electricity, gas, garbage collection, cable television, telephone, water, sewer, and other utilities costs and all other charges, obligations or deposits assessed against the Premises during the Term. If Tenant defaults in the payment of any such utility charges, Landlord may, at its option, pay them for Tenant’s account, in which event Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord upon demand. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for disruption of utilities to the Premises. Landlord under no circumstances shall be liable to Tenant in damages or otherwise for loss or interruption for utility or other services for Tenant’s business at the Premises.

Insurance

.  

5.1.General Insurance Requirements.  Without limiting the liabilities or indemnification obligations of Tenant, all insurance provided for in this Master Lease shall be maintained under valid and enforceable policies issued by an authorized surplus carrier in the state in which each Property is located, having a general policyholders rating of not less than “A” in the then most current A.M. Best’s Insurance Report, unless otherwise approved by Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee.  Any and all policies of insurance required under this Master Lease shall name Landlord as an additional insured. In addition, Landlord (and such other parties as Landlord may designate such as any Facility Mortgagee) shall be shown as the loss payee under the casualty insurance policy maintained by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.2.  All policies of insurance required herein may be in the form of “blanket” or “umbrella” type policies which shall name Landlord and Tenant as their interests may appear and allocate to the Premises the full amount of insurance required hereunder; provided, however, that such “blanket” or “umbrella” type policies (including, without limitation, the deductible amounts thereunder) are acceptable to and have been approved by Landlord.

5.10.Proceeds Deposited with Landlord.  In the event Tenant receives or is entitled to receive payment of any casualty insurance proceeds in excess of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00), Tenant shall pay (or cause to be paid) such insurance proceeds to Landlord and Landlord shall hold and disburse such proceeds for the repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing of the Premises or any portion thereof subject to the pertinent provisions of this Master Lease and any mortgage held by a Facility Mortgagee.  No such sums shall be disbursed by Landlord toward such repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing, unless Landlord is reasonably satisfied that the amount of money necessary to complete such repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing in excess of insurance proceeds received by Landlord has been paid by Tenant for such repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing, and that the amount of such insurance proceeds held by Landlord is sufficient to complete such work. In the event the insurance proceeds received by Landlord is not sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs or replacements, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount of funds necessary to cover such deficiency and to ensure that Landlord is holding funds sufficient to complete such repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing in accordance with the provisions of any mortgage held by a Facility Mortgagee and any plans and specifications relating to such repair or replacement work, free from any liens or encumbrances of any kind whatsoever.

Landlord and Tenant agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed 

9

 

such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor.

5.12.Additional Obligations.  It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) if any insurance required hereunder, shall expire, be withdrawn, become void by breach of any condition thereof by Tenant, or become void or in jeopardy by reason of the failure or impairment of the capital of any insurer, Tenant shall immediately obtain new or additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee and in accordance with this Section 5; (ii) the minimum limits of insurance coverage set forth in this Section 5 shall not limit the liability of Tenant for its acts or omissions as provided in this Master Lease; (iii) Tenant shall procure policies for all insurance for periods of not less than one year and shall provide to Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee certificates of insurance or, upon Landlord’s request, duplicate originals of insurance policies evidencing that insurance satisfying the requirements of this Master Lease is in effect at all times; (iv) Tenant shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance required by this Section 5; (v) in the event any insurance policy required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder contains any breach of warranty provisions, Tenant shall not cause any violations of the policy warranties, declarations or conditions in such policy; and (vi) in the event that Tenant fails to comply with any of the requirements set forth in this Section 5, within three (3) days of the giving of written notice by Landlord to Tenant, (A) Landlord shall be entitled to procure such insurance; and (B) any sums expended by Landlord in procuring such insurance shall be a monetary obligation and shall be repaid by Tenant, together with interest thereon at the Agreed Rate (as defined in Section 12.5), from the time of payment by Landlord until fully paid by Tenant (which sums shall be due and payable to Landlord upon written demand).

5.13.Insurance Impounds and Insurance Escrow.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies, Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to require Tenant to (i) immediately deposit with Landlord an amount equal to all premiums currently due with respect to the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant under this Master Lease, and (ii) make monthly deposits with Landlord in such amount as will be sufficient to permit Landlord to pay all such premiums in full from such deposits when next becoming due, and (iii) thereafter to deposit with Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the current annual premiums with respect to such insurance policies on the twentieth (20th)  day of each month in advance, together with such additional amounts as may be required to make payments of such premiums due during said month.  In such event, Tenant shall advise Landlord of all insurance bills which are due and shall cooperate fully with Landlord in assuring that the same are paid.  All such deposited amounts will be held by Landlord without interest and applied by Landlord against the payment of the required insurance premiums as they become due.  Landlord shall deposit all impounded funds in accounts insured by any federal or state agency and shall not commingle such funds with other funds and accounts of Landlord.  Interest or other gains from such funds, if any, shall be the sole property of Landlord.  Upon an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies, Landlord may apply all impounded funds against any sums due from Tenant to Landlord.  Landlord shall give to Tenant an annual accounting showing all credits and debits to and from such impounded funds received from Tenant.

Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall repair and replace the Equipment as well as Tenant’s Personal Property consistent with prudent industry practice for facilities similar in type, size and character to each Facility that is subject to this Master Lease.

6.2.7.All application, inspection and other fees, costs and charges associated with the issuance and/or change of any licensure or certification for use and/or operation of each Facility for its Permitted Use and to secure any Medicare or Medicaid Contract, shall be borne solely by Tenant.

6.2.8.Tenant further agrees to correct any deficiency or violation within the timeframe required by any licensure, certification or other governing agency, pertaining to the use or operation of the Premises, Tenant’s right to continue participation in Medicare and Medicaid (or any successor program) for existing patients, or the right to admit new Medicare and Medicaid (or any successor program) patients.

Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not apply for or consent to the suspension or permanent reduction of the number of state licensed beds or the number of Medicaid or Medicare certified beds at any Facility.  Tenant shall not modify, de-license or otherwise change the licensed capacity for any Facility without the prior written approval of Landlord.

The term “Tenant’s Senior Lender” shall mean Pacific Western Bank (successor-in-interest to CapitalSource Bank), or such other entity that is not an Affiliate of Tenant or Guarantor as shall during the Term become the senior secured lender to Tenant.  Tenant, however, shall be permitted in good faith and at its expense to contest the existence, amount or validity of any lien upon Landlord’s fee or other interest in the Premises or Tenant’s leasehold interest by appropriate proceedings sufficient to prevent the collection or execution of the lien or claim so contested, as well as the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Premises or any rent to satisfy the same. Tenant shall provide Landlord with security satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to assure the foregoing.  Each contest permitted by this Section 6.4 shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted to a final conclusion by Tenant and shall be subject to similar requirements concerning Tenant’s contesting of Taxes.

Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 7.9) against any loss or expenses incurred as a result of the assertion of any such lien (excluding any liens in favor of any creditor of Landlord), and Tenant covenants and agrees to remove or bond-over any asserted lien by any means permitted by law within ten (10) Business Days of the assertion of such lien or claim of lien. In the event Tenant fails to remove or bond-over such lien within such ten (10) Business Day period then, in addition to its other remedies under this Master Lease, Landlord shall have the right to discharge the lien or bond-over the lien by any means permitted by law and, in any such event, Tenant shall pay all costs so incurred by Landlord immediately upon written demand to Tenant.  Tenant shall have no right to subject Landlord’s interest in the Premises to any lien to secure any contracts signed by Tenant, and Tenant shall so advise all persons furnishing labor, material or services (including, without limitation, design or engineering services) to the Premises.

6.5.Alterations by Tenant.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.5 (relating to equipment and personal property), Tenant shall have the right to make non-structural alterations, improvements and modifications to any Facility, from time to time, as it may determine is desirable for the continuing and proper use and maintenance of the Premises under this Master Lease without the consent of Landlord; provided, however, that (a) any alterations, improvements, or modifications to a Facility shall not affect any structural component of the Improvements or affect the exterior architecture of any of the Improvements; (b) the cost of such alterations, improvements and/or modifications with respect to a single Facility is not in excess of Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) in any rolling twelve (12) month period with respect to such Facility; (iii) all work in excess of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) in any one case must be performed by licensed bondable contractors; (iv) all such alterations, improvements and modifications must be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and any similar statutes of the state in which such Facility is located; (v) any of the Equipment (owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant subject to this Master Lease) that is replaced shall be replaced with items that are the functional equivalent and of equal or better quality and such replacement items shall be deemed, upon installation and/or use, to become the property of Landlord and deemed a part of the Equipment; and (vi) any 

14

 

equipment, appliances or other items comprising a part of Tenant’s Personal Property (as defined) that are replaced shall be replaced with items that are the functional equivalent and of equal or better quality and such replacement items shall be deemed, upon installation and/or use, to be the property of Tenant and deemed a part of Tenant’s Personal Property (subject, however, to the provisions of Section 8.2  requiring all of the Mountain’s Edge Equipment more particularly described on Schedule 1.3(a) to remain with and on the Mountain’s Edge Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease).  Otherwise, all alterations, improvements and modifications to the Premises and all replacement of equipment, appliances or other items of Personal Property (other than Tenant’s Personal Property) shall require the prior written consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than alterations, improvements or modifications which were made to comply with applicable codes, laws or ordinances and with respect to which Tenant provided Landlord with prior written notice and alterations, improvements or modifications with respect to which Landlord granted its prior written consent, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease Tenant will be obligated to remove all material alterations, improvements and alterations if and to the extent that Landlord directs and to restore the Premises to their original condition, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The cost of all such alterations, improvements, replacements, modifications or other purchases, whether undertaken as a requirement of any on-going licensing, Medicare or Medicaid (or any successor program) or other regulatory requirement or otherwise shall be borne solely and exclusively by Tenant and shall immediately become a part of the Premises and the property of Landlord subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Lease. All work done in connection therewith shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all existing codes and regulations pertaining to the Premises and shall comply with the requirements of any Facility Mortgagee and insurance policies required under this Master Lease. In the event any items of the Premises have become inadequate, obsolete or worn out or require replacement (by direction of any regulatory body or otherwise), Tenant shall remove such items and exchange or replace the same at Tenant’s sole cost with items that are the functional equivalent and that are of equal or better quality and the same shall become part of the Premises and property of Landlord (except to the extent that the replacement is of one or more items of Tenant’s Personal Property, in which case, such replacement item(s) or article(s) will remain Tenant’s Personal Property) and subject to (a) the terms of this Master Lease and (b) the provisions of Section 8.2 requiring all of the Mountain’s Edge Equipment more particularly described on Schedule 1.3(a) to remain with and on the Mountain’s Edge Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease.

6.6.Compliance With Union Agreements.  Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that prior to the Commencement Date, there do not exist any collective bargaining or other agreements with labor unions or other employee groups or associations affecting the operation of any of the Facilities.  If, during the Term, Tenant enters into any such agreements, Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with true and correct copies of the same and thereafter shall at all times during the Term comply in all material respects with the terms of such agreements.

6.7.Replacement Reserve.  With respect to each Facility, Tenant shall establish and maintain in effect throughout the Term a reserve (the “Replacement Reserve”) funded by Tenant and held by Landlord for each Facility for payment of costs and expenses associated with Upgrade Expenditures (as defined hereinafter) to be performed at such Facility. Simultaneously with monthly payments of Fixed Monthly Rent, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the then applicable Replacement Reserve Payment (as hereinafter defined) for each Facility to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve for such Facility.  Beginning on the Commencement Date, the “Replacement Reserve Payment” shall mean (a) with respect each of the Facilities (other than the Mountain’s Edge Facility), an amount equal to Three Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($350.00) for each licensed bed in such Facility, and (b) with respect to the Mountain’s Edge Facility, an amount equal to Four Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($400.00) for each licensed bed in the Mountain’s Edge Facility (the annual amount per each licensed bed for the applicable Facility is referred to hereinafter as the “Base Bed Reserve Rate”).  During the Term, on each anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Base Bed Reserve Rate shall be increased to an amount equal to the CPI Factor (as defined in Section 3.2 herein) multiplied times the Base Bed Reserve Rate in effect for the immediately preceding Lease Year; provided, however, the Base Bed Reserve Rate shall never be less than the Base Bed Reserve Rate in the immediately preceding Lease Year.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no event or circumstance exists which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would become an Event of Default, Landlord shall disburse to Tenant from the Replacement Reserve for a Facility (but in no event to exceed amounts on deposit in the Replacement Reserve for such Facility), within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s written request (and provision to Landlord of any supporting documentation reasonably required by Landlord), the costs and expenses incurred installing or constructing any Upgrade Expenditures, provided such written notice 

15

 

includes a detailed description of the Upgrade Expenditures installed or constructed together with an invoice for the work done. With each draw request, Tenant will deliver to Landlord (i) a certification by Tenant that the work for which the draw to be funded has been completed in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and (ii) such additional supporting evidence as may be requested by Landlord in its reasonable judgment, including such items as invoices, receipts or other evidence verifying the cost of such work, together with affidavits and/or lien waivers from those providing work, materials or supplies for such portion of the work (provided it shall not be a requirement that Tenant shall have made any payment on such invoice, unless necessary to procure the required lien waiver). Tenant will additionally furnish to Landlord evidence that all necessary or required approvals or consents from Governmental Authorities have been obtained. In making any disbursement from the Replacement Reserve for a Facility, Landlord shall be entitled to rely on Tenant’s written request and supporting documentation without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount or the nature or necessity of the materials provided or the work performed. Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, but shall have no obligation to make or cause to be made inspections of the Facilities.  In the event that any inspection report from any such inspection reasonably recommends that Upgrade Expenditures are required or anticipated which are the obligation of Tenant in accordance the terms of this Master Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written description of such Upgrade Expenditures and Tenant shall deposit the cost of same into the Replacement Reserve for such Facility and then complete those Upgrade Expenditures to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord as expeditiously as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances after the receipt of such description from Landlord.  It is specifically hereby stipulated and agreed that notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 6.7, the management, uses and disbursement procedures and requirements of the Replacement Reserve for a Facility may be taken over by a Facility Mortgagee, and Tenant agrees to negotiate in good faith any changes to this Section 6.7 as may be reasonably requested by a Facility Mortgagee in such event and to pay the reasonable costs of the Facility Mortgagee in processing draw requests. “Upgrade Expenditures” means expenditures in commercially reasonable amounts to Persons not affiliated with Tenant for (i) upgrades or improvements to any Facility that have the effect of maintaining or improving its competitive position in its respective marketplace, including new or replacement wallpaper, tiles, window coverings, lighting fixtures, painting, upgraded landscaping, carpeting, architectural adornments, common area amenities and the like, including, without limitation, capital improvements or repairs (including repairs or replacements of the roof, structural elements of the walls, parking area or the electrical, plumbing, HVAC or other mechanical or structural systems), and (ii) other improvements to any Facility as reasonably approved by Landlord.  

6.8.Signs and Antennas.  Except for the signs, antennas and other data, voice or image transmission equipment identified on Schedule 6.8 attached hereto, Tenant shall have no right to place upon the Premises any signs, antennas or other data, voice or image transmission equipment, without Landlord’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The installation of any signs, antennas or other data, voice or image transmission equipment consented to by Landlord shall be completed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and must comply with all applicable governmental requirements.  Tenant, at its sole cost,  shall be responsible for obtaining all permits required for such approved signs, antennas or other data, voice or image transmission equipment.  Tenant shall maintain such signs, antennas or other data, voice or image transmission equipment, in a good state of repair and shall repair any damage to the Premises arising from the erection, maintenance or removal of such signs, antennas or equipment at the expiration or termination of this Master Lease. Upon the expiration or termination of this Master Lease, all signs, antennas or other data, voice or image transmission equipment (but not stand-alone sign structures unless requested by Landlord) shall be removed in accordance with Section 8.2.  Tenant shall pay all Taxes, fees or similar charges relating to any signs, antennas or other data transmission equipment that is installed on the Premises.  Any and all revenue, other than healthcare services revenues, derived from payments by third parties in consideration for locating any such installations on the Premises shall be for the account of Landlord, and Tenant shall promptly report and remit same to Landlord.

Landlord’s Security Interest and Lien on Tenant’s Personal Property

.  

8.5.1.Landlord shall have and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest and lien on every right and interest of Tenant in and to this Master Lease, and on Tenant’s Personal Property purchased and owned by Tenant under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 herein, on the Assigned Collateral (as defined hereinafter), on Tenant’s Intangible Property (as defined hereinafter) including certificates of need, licenses, contract rights, provider agreements, Accounts (as defined herein), certifications, books, records and other property of any kind belonging to Tenant and used in connection with this Master Lease or located at or on any of the Properties 

21

 

(collectively, the “Personal Property Collateral”).  Tenant hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord all right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter arising, wherever located, in and to the security interests granted to Tenant by each Operator pursuant to the respective subleases of each Operator (the “Assigned Collateral”).  Each Operator hereby acknowledges such assignment.  For purposes of this Master Lease, the term “Accounts” means collectively (a) any right to payment of a monetary obligation, whether or not earned by performance, (b) without duplication, and “account” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware (the “UCC Code”), as the same may be amended from time to time), any accounts receivable (whether in the form of payments for services rendered or goods sold, rents, license fees or otherwise), any “health-care-insurance receivables” (as defined in the UCC Code), any “payment intangible” (as defined in the UCC Code), and all other rights to payment and/or reimbursement of every kind and description, whether or not earned by performance, (c) all accounts, rights, remedies, guarantees, supporting obligations, letter of credit rights and security interest in respect to the foregoing, all rights of enforcement and collection, (d) all information and data compiled or derived by Tenant or to which Tenant is entitled in respect of or related to the foregoing, and (e) all proceeds of the foregoing.  For purposes of this Master Lease, the term “Intangible Property” shall mean all accounts (including, without limitation, to the extent assignable, accounts to be paid by Medicaid or Medicare (or successor or similar programs, however named or designated), proceeds of accounts, rents, profits, income or revenue derived from the use of rooms or other space within the Premises or the providing of services in or from the Premises; documents, chattel paper, instruments, contract rights, deposit accounts, general intangibles, chooses in action, now owned or hereafter acquired by Tenant (including any right to any refund of any taxes or other charges heretofore or hereafter paid to any Governmental Authority) arising from or in connection with Tenant’s operation or use of the Premises; all licenses and permits now owned or hereinafter acquired by Tenant, necessary or desirable for Tenant’s use of the Premises under this Master Lease, including, without limitation, if applicable, any Medicaid or Medicare Contract and any certificate of need or other similar certificate and any license, permit or approval required for the ownership and/or operation of any Facility for its Permitted Use and the right to use any trade or other name now or hereafter associated with the operation of the Premises by Tenant.  Landlord’s security interest in Tenant’s assets is subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Pacific Western Bank (formerly known as CapitalSource) and Landlord, as the same may be amended, restated and modified by the parties thereto (the “PacWest Intercreditor Agreement”).  In the event that Pacific Western Bank ceases to be Tenant’s senior secured lender, Landlord agrees that it shall subordinate its security interest hereunder to any subsequent lender that provides working capital financing to Tenant in connection with Tenant’s Operations pursuant to an intercreditor and subordination agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it.

8.5.2.Such security interest and lien granted pursuant to Section 8.5.1 is granted for the purpose of securing the payments of rent payable to Landlord under Section 3 herein and all other monetary and payment obligations under this Master Lease whether to Landlord or third parties, all charges, penalties, and damages herein covenanted to be paid by Tenant, and for the purpose of securing the performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Master Lease. Such lien shall be in addition to all rights to Landlord given and provided by law.

As used in Sections 12.2.1.1 and 12.2.1.2 above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest in the per annum amount equal to the Agreed Rate.  As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the Prime Rate (as defined in Section 12.5).

12.2.2.Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other Person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof as well as any and all property, with or without terminating this Master Lease, and any property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant; and Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Master Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof; and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in connection with any proposed transfer to any Qualified Successor to transfer operations; and Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord, on demand, any cost or expense incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the Premises or any deficiency in Fixed Annual Rent, Fixed Monthly Rent or additional rent that may arise by reason of such reletting, including, without limitation, brokerage fees, advertising expenses, preparation expenses, alterations and repairs to the Premises, legal expenses, and the cost of performing such of Tenant’s obligations as Landlord determines to be necessary and reasonable.

In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the remainder, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid in full immediately upon demand. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting. Notwithstanding any election by Landlord to re-take possession of the Premises pursuant to this provision, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, upon written notice to Tenant, terminate this Master Lease in all respects and exercise other remedies available at law or in equity or herein relating to such termination as a result of a Tenant default.

12.2.3.Enter upon the Premises and take such actions as may be required of Tenant to cure the complained of default; and Tenant covenants and agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses, direct or indirect, which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Master Lease.

30

 

12.2.4.Pursue change of ownership applications and proceedings with regulatory authorities regulating the licenses and any Medicare or Medicaid Contracts for the applicable Facility and its Permitted Use.

12.2.5.Before or after repossession of the Premises pursuant to Section 12.2.2, and whether or not this Master Lease has been terminated, Landlord shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to relet any portion of the Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the remaining balance of the Term), for such rent, or such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such uses, as Landlord, in its absolute discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to relet any of the Premises or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, immediately upon demand, all expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining possession and in reletting any of the Premises, including fees, commissions, tenant improvements, alterations, repairs, and costs of attorneys, architects, agents and brokers.

12.2.6.Landlord may pursue all of its legal and equitable remedies, including specific performance.

12.2.7.No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to Section 12.2.2 or otherwise shall be construed as an election to terminate this Master Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any default of Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Master Lease for any such default.

12.3.Secured Party Remedies.  

12.3.1.Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of Event of Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord, in addition to all other rights, options, and remedies granted to Landlord under this Master Lease or at law or in equity, may exercise, either directly or through one or more assignees or designees, all rights and remedies granted to it hereunder and under the UCC in effect in the applicable jurisdiction(s) and under any other applicable law.

12.3.2.At any sale or disposition of Personal Property Collateral, Landlord may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part of the Personal Property Collateral, free from any right of redemption by Tenant, which right is hereby waived and released.  Tenant covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Landlord’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Personal Property Collateral.  Landlord shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Personal Property Collateral for sale.  

12.3.3.Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant hereby appoints and constitutes Landlord its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Personal Property Collateral, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to (i) pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Personal Property Collateral, (iii) execute all applications and certificates in the name of such Tenant and to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Personal Property Collateral, and (iv) do any and every act which such Tenant might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney in this Section 12.3.3 shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

12.3.4.Landlord is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Tenant’s labels, mask works, rights of use of any name, any other intellectual property and advertising matter, and any similar property as it pertains to the Personal Property Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Personal Property Collateral and, in connection with Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this Section. Tenant’s rights under all licenses (whether as licensor or licensee) and all franchise agreements inure to Landlord’s benefit.

31

 

12.4.Receivership.  Tenant acknowledges that one of the rights and remedies available to Landlord under applicable law is to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Premises, to collect the rents, issues, profits and income of the Premises and to manage the operation of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that the revocation, suspension or material limitation of the certification of a Facility for provider status under Medicare or Medicaid (or successor programs) and/or the revocation, suspension or material limitation of a license relating to the operation of a Facility for its Permitted Use under the laws of the state in which such Facility is located will materially and irreparably impair the value of Landlord’s interest in such Facility.  Therefore, in any of such events, and in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord under this Master Lease, Landlord may petition any appropriate court for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Premises, to manage the operation of the Premises, to collect and disburse all rents, issues, profits and income generated thereby and to preserve or replace, to the extent possible, any such license and provider certification for the Facility or to otherwise substitute the licensee or provider thereof. The receiver shall be entitled to a reasonable fee for its services as a receiver. All such fees and other expenses of the receivership estate shall be added to the monthly rent due to Landlord under this Master Lease.

12.5.Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Fixed Annual Rent, Fixed Monthly Rent or other amounts due under this Master Lease will cause Landlord to lose the use of such money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Master Lease, including, without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore, (a) if any installment of Fixed Monthly Rent or other amounts due under this Master Lease is not paid within three (3) days following the due date for such payment, then Tenant shall thereafter pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount of all installments of Fixed Monthly Rent and other amounts due under this Master Lease and not paid within three (3) days following the due date; and (b) if any installment of Fixed Monthly Rent or other amounts due under this Master Lease is not paid within ten (10) days following the due date for such payment, such unpaid amount shall accrue interest from the due date for such payment at the Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) per annum (the “Agreed Rate”) (or the maximum rate permitted by law if less than the Agreed Rate).  As used herein, “Prime Rate” shall mean the prime rate of interest reported in the Wall Street Journal or if the Wall Street Journal ceases to be in existence or for any reason no longer publishes such prime rate, then the Prime Rate shall be the rate announced by a national bank selected by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge and the accrual of interest at the Agreed Rate represent a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered from any such nonpayment and/or delinquent payment by Tenant.

12.6.Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Master Lease or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Master Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof as to any similar or different breach (future or otherwise) by Tenant. A receipt by Landlord of any rent or other sum due hereunder (including any late charge) with knowledge of the breach of any provision contained in this Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Master Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.

12.7.Performance of Tenant’s Obligations by Landlord.  If Tenant, at any time, shall fail to make any payment or perform any act on its part required to be made or performed under this Master Lease, then Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations or default of Tenant hereunder, make any such payment or perform any such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may enter upon the Premises for the purpose of taking all such action thereon as may be reasonably necessary therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and incidental costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, together with interest at the Agreed Rate (or the maximum rate permitted by law if less than the Agreed Rate) from the date of the making of such payment or the incurring of such costs and expenses by Landlord, shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

32

 

12.8.Default by Landlord.  

12.8.1.If Landlord defaults in the observance or performance of any covenant, condition or obligation in this Master Lease on its part to be observed or performed, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Tenant stating the default complained of and referring to the Section in this Master Lease relied on by Tenant, to correct any such default, or if such default is not reasonably capable of being corrected within such thirty (30) days to commence to correct the same during such thirty (30) days, and thereafter proceed to correct the same with diligence.

12.8.2.If Landlord fails to correct any such default or to diligently pursue the correction as provided for herein, then Tenant may sue Landlord for its actual damages directly resulting from such default by Landlord, including, without limitation, such additional sums as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys’ fees in any successful suit or action instituted by Tenant to enforce the provisions of this Master Lease, but excluding consequential, punitive or special damages. Tenant may further obtain injunctive relief if and only if necessary to maintain operation of a Facility or comply with applicable governmental requirements.

12.8.3.The liability of Landlord (and its successors and assigns) to Tenant (or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Master Lease or any matter relating to or arising out of the occupancy or use of the Premises or otherwise shall be recoverable only from the interest of Landlord in the Premises, and Landlord (and its members, managers, officers, employees, successors and assigns) shall not be personally liable for any deficiency. Landlord may transfer any portion of the Premises and any of its rights under this Master Lease and Landlord, and any such transferee, shall only be liable under this Master Lease during the period of its, or their, ownership. If Landlord assigns its rights under this Master Lease, then Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder arising after the date of transfer, provided that the assignee assumes in writing Landlord’s obligations hereunder arising from and after the transfer date.

12.9.Delays. Whenever this Master Lease requires any act (other than the payment of a liquidated sum of money, such as rental payments, taxes, utilities, etc.) by Landlord or Tenant within a certain period of time or by a certain time, the time for the performance of such act shall be extended by the period of any delay caused by war, strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, civil commotion, storms, electrical blackouts or other power failure, unpreventable material shortages, casualties, riots, acts of God or other conditions or events beyond the control of the obligated party, and, with respect to construction matters, delays considered excusable under the obligated party’s construction contract (collectively “Force Majeure”). Written notice of such delay and the cause and circumstances thereof shall be given to the other party promptly after the commencement of such delay and such delay becoming known by the obligated party.

Damage by Fire or Other Casualty

.  

13.1.Restoration; Termination.  

13.1.1.If at any time during the Term, the Property of any Facility or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (including any casualty for which insurance coverage was not obtained or obtainable) of any kind or nature, and whether or not the insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose, Tenant shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair and restore such Facility as nearly as possible to the value, condition and character thereof immediately prior to such damage or destruction, except that, in the event of a complete or substantial destruction of the Improvements pertaining to a Facility (the same being deemed to mean such destruction that the affected Facility cannot be economically and feasibly used by Tenant without construction of a new building or new buildings), then, and in such event, Tenant may elect to terminate this Master Lease only as to the Property of the affected Facility (but not as to the other Properties leased to Tenant pursuant to this Master Lease) by giving written notice of such election to Landlord, the effective date of such termination to be the date certain specified in said notice, but in no event later than thirty-five (35) days following such destruction, provided and upon condition, that concurrently with the giving of such notice, Tenant irrevocably and absolutely assigns to Landlord, by instrument satisfactory to Landlord, all insurance monies payable under insurance policies covering such casualty. Notwithstanding such assignment, if the net amount of such insurance monies actually collected by Landlord (after costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with 

33

 

the adjustment of the loss and collection thereof), shall be insufficient to pay for the construction of such new building or buildings on the affected Property, and to repair, alter and restore all damage related to such casualty, Tenant shall on demand pay to Landlord the amount of such insufficiency, and said obligation of Tenant shall survive the termination of this Master Lease as to the affected Facility.

13.1.2.Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a complete or substantial destruction to the Improvements pertaining to a Facility as provided for in Section 13.1.1 herein and Tenant does not elect, pursuant to Section 13.1.1, to terminate this Master Lease as to the affected Property only, Tenant shall construct such new building or new buildings on the affected Property as shall constitute an economically sound structure or structures substantially in accordance with final plans approved in writing by Landlord and as shall have an aggregate value at least equal to the value of the building or buildings destroyed. Such repairs, alterations, restoration, replacement or rebuilding, including such changes and alterations as aforementioned, and including temporary repairs for the protection of other property pending the completion thereof, are hereinafter in this Section 13 referred to as the “Restoration Work”.  Prior to the Restoration Work, Tenant shall submit the plans and specifications therefor to Landlord for the Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall Landlord be called upon to do any Restoration Work or to pay any of the costs or expenses thereof.

13.1.3.Except as provided in Section 13.1.1 herein, no destruction of or damage to the Improvements pertaining to a Facility or any part thereof, however caused, shall permit Tenant to terminate this Master Lease as to any Property or Facility or shall relieve Tenant from its liability to pay the full Fixed Monthly Rent and additional rent and other monetary obligations and charges payable under this Master Lease or from any of its other obligations under this Master Lease, and Tenant waives any rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by statute or otherwise to quit or surrender this Master Lease or the Properties or any part thereof, or to any suspension, diminution, abatement or reduction of rent on account of any such destruction or damage.

13.2.Insurance Proceeds. Except in the case of Tenant’s termination of this Master Lease as to the Property of a Facility affected by an event of casualty pursuant to Section 13.1.1 herein, and subject to the applicable requirements of the Facility Mortgage and Facility Mortgagee, all insurance money paid on account of any damage or destruction (other than any rental insurance), less the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the adjustment of the loss and collection thereof (“net insurance proceeds”), shall be deposited in a joint account of Landlord and Tenant in a bank or trust company designated by Landlord (or if required by the Facility Mortgage, in an account solely of Landlord or solely of Facility Mortgagee as designated by Facility Mortgagee), and shall be made available for the payment of the cost of the Restoration Work and shall be paid out from time to time as such Restoration Work progresses upon the written request of Tenant (“Restoration Work Draw Requests”), provided that each such request by Tenant is accompanied by the following:

13.2.1.A certificate signed by Tenant (except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below of this Section 13.2.1), dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to such request, setting forth the following:

(a)That the sum then requested either has been paid by Tenant, or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, subcontractor’s materialmen, engineers, architects or other Persons who have rendered services or furnished materials for the Restoration Work therein specified, and giving a brief description of such services and materials and the several amounts so paid or due to each of said Persons in respect thereof, and stating that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis, in any previous or then pending request, for the withdrawal of insurance money, and that the sum then requested does not exceed the value of the services and materials described in the certificate.

(b)That except for the amount, if any, stated pursuant to the foregoing subclause (a) in such certificate to be due for services or materials, there is no outstanding indebtedness known to the Persons signing such certificate, after due inquiry, which is then due for labor, wages, materials, supplies or services in connection with such Restoration Work and which, if unpaid, might become the basis of a vendor’s, 

34

 

mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialmen’s statutory or similar lien upon such restoration or upon the affected Property or any part thereof or upon Tenant’s leasehold interest therein.

(c)That the cost, as estimated by the Persons signing such certificate, of the Restoration Work required to be done subsequent to the date of such certificate in order to complete the same, does not exceed the insurance money plus any amount paid by Tenant to Landlord or deposited by Tenant to defray such cost and remaining in said account after payment of the sum requested in such certificate.

13.2.2.Evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and the Facility Mortgagee, to the effect that there has not been filed with respect to the affected Property or any part thereof or upon Tenant’s leasehold interest therein any vendor’s, mechanic’s, laborer’s, materialman’s or other lien which has not been discharged of record, except such as will be discharged by payment of the amount then requested, together with lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, materials suppliers and others who are in a position to file liens against the affected Property or any part thereof or upon Tenant’s leasehold interest therein due to non-payment of amounts owed to them waiving all of such lien rights for all work done through the date that the pending Restoration Work Draw Request relates to.

13.2.3.Copies of invoices and other supporting materials and information for the pending Restoration Work Draw Request and any prior Restoration Work Draw Requests with respect to which all of such materials were not furnished.

13.2.4.Such other information and materials as may be requested by Landlord or the applicable Facility Mortgagee.

13.2.5.In the event that any such restoration involves expenditures in excess of $50,000.00, the certificate required by Section 13.2.1 shall be a certificate signed by the architect or engineer in charge of the restoration, who shall be selected by Tenant and approved in writing by Landlord and the Facility Mortgagee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

13.2.6.Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, it shall be the duty of Tenant at the time of creating the bank account herein referred to and, from time to time thereafter, until the Restoration Work shall have been completed and paid for, to provide Landlord and the Facility Mortgagee such additional and adequate evidence of the fact that, at all times the undisbursed portion of the funds in said account is sufficient to pay for the restoration in its entirety and is sufficient to procure receipted bills and full and final waivers of lien when the restoration shall have been completed and done.

13.2.7.If the insurance money at any time on deposit in said account shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of such restoration, Tenant shall promptly pay into said account the amount of the deficiency.

Condemnation

.  

14.1.Definitions. For the purpose of this Section 14, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Section 14.1:

14.1.1.“Award” means all compensation, sums and any other value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial condemnation; 

14.1.2.“Condemnation” or “Taking” means (x) the exercise of any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a Condemnor or (y) a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord with Tenant’s consent (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time) to any Condemnor, either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending; and

35

 

14.1.3.“Condemnor” means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having the power of Condemnation.

14.2.Parties’ Rights and Obligations. If during the Term with respect to any Facility there is any Taking of all or any part of the Property of such Facility or of any interest in this Master Lease by Condemnation, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be determined by this Section 14.

14.3.Compensation.  Except as provided in Section 14.4 for a temporary Taking, all compensation awarded for any Taking shall belong to and be the property of Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to pursue a separate Award for its moving expenses and the Taking of any of Tenant’s Personal Property (but not its leasehold interest in the affected Property) which does not, under the terms of this Master Lease, become the property of Landlord at the termination hereof, so long as any such Award is separate and distinct from any claim of Landlord and does not reduce the amount of the Award that would otherwise be paid to Landlord. Except as aforesaid, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord and all claims against the governmental authority responsible for the Taking, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all claims against the governmental authority responsible for the Taking including, without limitation, all claims for leasehold damages and diminution in the value of Tenant’s leasehold interest. Tenant hereby waives all rights to request the governmental authority responsible for the Taking make a separate allocation to Tenant or to pursue an independent action for damages against any governmental authority for said Taking if the effect of such request or action would be to reduce the amount of the Award that would otherwise be paid to Landlord.

14.4.Effect on this Master Lease of Permanent Taking.  

14.4.1.In the event that there is a Taking of the whole of the Property relating to a Facility permanently by any method, then this Master Lease shall terminate only as to the Property affected by such total Taking as of the date that the affected Property must be vacated. Such date of vesting shall operate as though it were the date originally intended by the Parties for expiration of this Master Lease as to the affected Property (but not to the other Properties that are subject to this Master Lease), and Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment of Fixed Annual Rent and all other obligations hereunder accrued (prorated as appropriate) with respect to the affected Property to the date of such vesting.

14.4.2.In the event that there is a permanent Taking of a substantial and material portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Property relating to a Facility, then Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Master Lease only as to the Facility affected by such substantial and material Taking (but not to the other Properties that are subject to this Master Lease), by giving the Landlord at least sixty (60) days written notice. If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Master Lease as to the Facility affected by such substantial and material Taking or if less than a substantial and material portion of the Property pertaining to the affected Facility is subject to a permanent Taking, then this Master Lease shall terminate only as to the portion of the affected Property that is subject to the Taking, and the Fixed Annual Rent with respect to the affected Facility shall be reduced for the remainder of the Term by a just, fair and equitable portion of the Fixed Annual Rent with respect to the affected Facility payable according to the size, nature and extent of the portion of the affected Property that is subject to the Taking. Any adjustments or reductions in Fixed Annual Rent with respect to the affected Facility as contemplated by this Section 14.4.2 shall take into account the practical and economic effect of the Taking in question on the operation of the affected Property. In the event that a substantial and material portion of a Property is temporarily subject to a Taking in excess of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days, then such Taking shall be deemed a permanent Taking for purposes of this Master Lease. In the event the Parties cannot agree on the appropriate adjustments or reductions in Fixed Annual Rent with respect to the affected Facility, either Party may seek a determination by arbitration pursuant to Section 24, provided either Party notifies the other of its decision to seek such a determination and commences same within 90 days following the Taking, and in all events pending an agreement of the Parties or such determination if same is pursued, the proportionate abatement of Fixed Annual Rent with respect to the affected Facility shall be equal to the percentage reduction in the number of beds able to be operated at the affected Facility.  By way of example, if the number of beds operated originally at the affected Facility was 130, and after the Taking the maximum number of beds that can be operated at such Facility is 100, resulting in a loss of 30 beds, the Fixed Annual Rent with respect to the affected Facility shall be reduced by the percentage reduction in beds, calculated as follows: ((130-100)/130)) * 100 = 23.08%). It shall be presumed that a Taking is “substantial and material” if (i) a governmental authority requires termination of the operation of the 

36

 

affected Facility, in whole or in part, because of such Taking, or (ii) the portion of the Improvements at the affected Facility that is not subject to the Taking is inadequate to continue to operate (a) with respect to the Mountain’s Edge Facility at least 65 beds, (b) with respect to the Horizon Henderson Facility at least 20 beds, (c) with respect to the Mira Vista Facility at least 16 beds, and (d) with respect to the Spartanburg Facility at least 65 beds.

14.5.Effect on this Master Lease of Temporary Taking. In the event that there is a Taking of all or part of the Property of a Facility for a temporary use, the Fixed Annual Rent shall not be adjusted or abated and instead, Tenant shall be entitled to the full condemnation Award (net of any Landlord costs incurred in assisting with the recovery of same).

14.6.Restoration. If any portion of the Improvements pertaining to a Facility shall be damaged or partially destroyed by any such Taking and this Master Lease shall not be terminated by reason thereof, the net proceeds of any Award recovered by reason of any Taking or Condemnation of the affected Property in excess of the cost of collecting the Award and in excess of any portion thereof attributable to the then current market value of the Property taken or condemned (such excess being hereinafter called the “net condemnation proceeds”) shall be held in trust by Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee and released for the purpose of paying the fair and reasonable cost of restoring the Improvements damaged by reason of the Taking or Condemnation. Such net condemnation proceeds shall be released, from time to time, as the work progresses to Tenant or to Tenant’s contractors in the same manner and according to the provisions of Section 13 regarding restoration after a casualty. Tenant shall proceed with reasonable diligence to cause any necessary demolition and to repair, replace or rebuild, any remaining part of the Improvements, or of any replacement thereof so taken, so as to constitute such remaining part thereof complete and useable in the condition and repair required by this Master Lease and, Tenant shall be required to expend the amount, if any, needed for such restoration in excess of the amount of such amount paid to it for such purposes. The portion of the Award that is made available to Tenant for restoration under this Section 14.6 will be administered in the same manner and according to the provisions of Section 13 regarding restoration after a casualty. If such net condemnation proceeds are more than adequate to pay the cost of such restoration, the amount by which such net condemnation proceeds exceed the cost of restoration will be retained by Landlord or applied to repayment of any Facility Mortgage secured by the Property. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon the portion of the Award attributable to the then current market value of the Property taken or condemned, either Party may submit the issue for arbitration pursuant to Section 24.

14.7.No Abatement of Rent.  Except as provided in Section 14.4.1 or Section 14.4.2 herein as pertains to a possible termination of this Master Lease as to an affected Facility only, or Section 14.4.2 herein as pertains to possible partial rent abatement, no Taking of the Property of any Facility or any part thereof shall permit Tenant to terminate this Master Lease or shall relieve Tenant from its liability to pay the full Fixed Annual Rent and additional rent and other charges payable under this Master Lease or from any of its other obligations under this Master Lease, and Tenant waives any rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by statute or otherwise to quit or surrender this Master Lease or the Premises or any part thereof, or to any suspension, diminution, abatement or reduction of rent on account of any such destruction or damage.

Provisions on Termination of Term

.  

15.1.Change of Ownership and Transfer of Licenses.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord or Landlord’s nominee in connection with the processing by Landlord or Landlord’s nominee of any applications for all licenses, operating permits and other governmental authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with governmental or quasi-governmental entities which may be necessary for the operation of each Facility for its Permitted Use set forth in Section 6.3 hereof; provided, however, the costs and expenses of any such transfer or the processing of any such application shall be paid by Landlord or Landlord’s nominee.

15.2.Termination Date; Assignment.  The date on which (i) this Master Lease either expires or is terminated by either Landlord or Tenant, whether pursuant to a right granted to it hereunder or otherwise, (ii) the date on which Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated pursuant to a right granted to it hereunder or otherwise, or (iii) the date on which Tenant otherwise abandons the Premises shall be referred to as the “Termination Date” in this Section.

37

 

On the Termination Date, subject to the Qualified Successor provisions of Section 23, this Master Lease shall be deemed and construed as an absolute assignment for purposes of vesting in Landlord (or Landlord’s designee, it being acknowledged and agreed that for purposes of this Section 15.2, the term Landlord shall be deemed to mean Landlord’s designee, if applicable) all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the following intangible property which is now or hereafter used in connection with the operation of the Premises (the “Assignable Intangibles”) and an assumption by Landlord or its designee of Tenant’s obligations under the Assignable Intangibles from and after the Termination Date; provided that, for a period of two (2) years after the Termination Date, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties from and against any claims, losses, costs or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or arising by reason of Tenant’s obligations under the Assignable Intangibles prior to the Termination Date:

15.2.1.service contracts and equipment leases for the benefit of the Premises to which Tenant is a party, and which can be terminated without penalty by Tenant within thirty (30) or fewer days’ notice or which Landlord requests be assigned to Landlord pursuant to this Section 15.2.1;

Such transfer and delivery shall be in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations concerning the transfer of medical records and other types of patient records.

15.5.Management.  For the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the date Landlord, or its designee, obtains any and all appropriate state or other governmental licenses and certifications required to operate any Facility, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord, or Landlord’s designee (which shall include Tenant in Landlord’s discretion), shall have the right, but not the obligation (unless Landlord elects to require Tenant as its designee to do so), to manage and operate the Facilities, on a triple net basis, and Landlord shall be entitled to all revenues of the Premises during such period, and to use any and all licenses, certifications and provider agreements issued to Tenant by any federal, state or other Governmental Authority for such operation of the Premises, if permitted by any such Governmental Authority and applicable laws. If Landlord or its designee exercises the right described above in this Section 15.5, the provisions of this Section 15.5 shall, upon Landlord’s election, be self-operative and shall constitute a management agreement between Tenant, on the one hand, and Landlord or its designee, on the other hand, on the terms set forth above in this Section 15.5 provided, however, that upon the request of Landlord or its designee, Tenant shall enter into a separate management agreement on the terms set forth in this Section 15.5 and on such other terms and provisions as may be specified by Landlord or its designee.

15.6.Patient Trust Funds.  Tenant shall provide Landlord or its designee with an accounting within fifteen (15) days after the Termination Date of all funds belonging to patients or residents at any Facility which are held by Tenant in a custodial capacity. Such accounting shall set forth the names of the patients for whom such funds are held, the amounts held on behalf of each such patient and Tenant’s warranty that the accounting is true, correct and complete. Additionally, Tenant, in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, shall make all necessary arrangements to transfer such funds to a bank account designated by Landlord or its designee, and Landlord or its designee shall in writing acknowledge receipt of and expressly assume all Tenant’s financial and custodial obligations with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liabilities, claims and demands, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in the event the amount of funds, if any, transferred to Landlord’s or the designee’s bank account as provided above, did not represent the full amount of the funds then or thereafter shown to have been delivered to Tenant as custodian that remain undisbursed for the benefit of the patient for whom such funds were deposited, or with respect to any matters relating to patient funds which accrued during the Term.

15.7.Cash and Accounts.  All cash, checks and cash equivalent at the Premises and deposits in bank accounts (other than patient trust accounts) relating to the Premises on the Termination Date shall remain Tenant’s property after the Termination Date.  All accounts receivable, loans receivable and other receivables of Tenant, whether derived from operation of the Premises or otherwise, shall remain the property of Tenant after the Termination Date. Tenant shall retain full responsibility for the collection thereof.  Landlord or its designee shall assume responsibility for the billing and collection of payments on account of services rendered by it on and after the Termination Date.  In order to facilitate Tenant’s collection efforts, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, within a reasonable time after the Termination Date, a schedule identifying all of those private pay balances owing for the month prior to the Termination Date, and Landlord or its designee agrees to apply any payments received which are specifically designated as being applicable to services rendered prior to the Termination Date to reduce the pre-Termination Date balances of said patients by promptly remitting said payments to Tenant. All other payments 

39

 

received shall be retained by Landlord as being applicable to services rendered after the Termination Date. Landlord or its designee shall cooperate with Tenant in Tenant’s collection of its pre-termination accounts receivable.  Landlord or its designee shall have no liability for uncollectible receivables and shall not be obligated to bear any expense as a result of such activities on behalf of Tenant.  Landlord shall remit to Tenant or its assignee those portions of any payments received by Landlord within five (5) Business Days of receipt which are specifically designated as repayment or reimbursement arising out of cost reports filed for the cost reporting periods ending on or prior to the Termination Date.

15.8.Collections.  With respect to patients or residents of any Facility on the Termination Date, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

15.8.1.If, following the Termination Date, Landlord or its designee receives payment from any state or federal agency or third-party provider which represents reimbursement with respect to services provided at the Premises prior to the Termination Date, Landlord agrees that it shall remit such payments to Tenant within five (5) Business Days of receipt. Payments by Landlord to Tenant shall be accompanied by a copy of the appropriate remittance.

15.8.2.If, following the Termination Date, Tenant receives payment from any state or federal agency or third-party provider which represents reimbursement with respect to services provided at the Facility on or after the Termination Date, Tenant agrees that, it shall remit such payments to Landlord within five (5) Business Days of receipt.

15.8.3.After the Termination Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to review supporting books, records and documentation that are in the possession of the other party relating to Medicaid or Medicare payments.

15.9.In addition to the obligations required to be performed hereunder by Tenant and Landlord on and after the Termination Date, Tenant and Landlord agree to perform such other acts, and to execute, acknowledge, and/or deliver subsequent to the Termination Date such other instruments, documents and materials, as the other may reasonably request in order to effectuate the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein, including but not limited to any documents or filings which may be required to be delivered by Tenant to Landlord or be filed in order for the transaction contemplated hereunder to be in compliance with all local, state and federal laws, legal requirements, statutes, rules and regulations.

15.10.Tenant for itself, its successors and assigns hereby indemnifies and agrees that for a period of two (2) years after the Termination Date, to defend and hold Landlord Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, losses, liabilities, damages, recoveries and deficiencies (including interest, penalties and reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses) which any of them may suffer as a result of the breach by Tenant in the performance of any of its commitments, covenants or obligations under this Section 15, or with respect to any suits, arbitration proceedings, administrative actions or investigations which relate to the use by Tenant of the Premises during the Term or for any liability which may arise from operation of a Facility for its Permitted Use during the Term, including without limitation, any amounts due or to be reimbursed to any Governmental Authority based upon any audit or review of Tenant or of a Facility or the operation thereof and pertaining to the period prior to the Termination Date or any amounts recaptured under Titles XVIII or XIX based upon applicable Medicaid/Medicare recapture regulations. The rights of Landlord under this Section 15.10 are without prejudice to any other remedies permissible hereunder which Landlord may have against Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Master Lease. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Master Lease, whether due to lapse of time or otherwise.

Landlord for itself, its successors and assigns hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Tenant and its successors and assigns harmless from any and all claims, demands, obligations, losses, liabilities, damages, recoveries and deficiencies (including interest, penalties and reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses) which any of them may suffer as a result of the breach by Landlord in the performance of any of its commitments, covenants or obligations under this Section 15, or with respect to any suits, arbitration proceedings, administrative actions or investigations which relate to the use of the Premises after the Term or for any liability which may arise 

40

 

from operation of any Facility for its Permitted Use after the Term.  The rights of Tenant under this Section are without prejudice to any other remedies not inconsistent herewith which Tenant may have against Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Master Lease or otherwise.

Except during the continuation of any Event of Default, any such inspections pursuant to this Section 17 shall be at Landlord’s cost and expense. 

Financing Provisions

.  

18.1.Conveyance by Landlord.  Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord will have the right, from time to time, directly or indirectly, to create or grant a Facility Mortgage or any other type of lien or encumbrance on the Premises, or any portion thereof or interest therein (including this Master Lease), to secure any borrowing or other financing or refinancing. If Landlord or any successor owner of the Premises conveys the Premises or any portion thereof pursuant to foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure under a Facility Mortgage, Landlord or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Master Lease arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer, and all such future liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner.

18.2.Definitions of Facility Mortgage and Facility Mortgage.  For purposes of this Master Lease, the following terms are defined as follows:

18.2.1. “Facility Mortgage” shall mean individually and, as applicable, collectively, any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement, that, with the express prior written consent of Landlord, or as a result of actions taken by Landlord in connection with any financing or refinancing of the Premises, is a lien upon any or all of the Premises.  The term “Facility Mortgage” includes any such mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement existing as of the Commencement Date, and also includes any such mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement, or series of mortgages, deeds of trust or security agreements, that may be executed and entered into at any time and, from time to time, following the Commencement Date.  Landlord will provide a copy of any effective Facility Mortgage to Tenant.  Tenant shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Facility Mortgage until a copy thereof has been provided to Tenant.

18.2.2.“Facility Mortgagee” shall mean the secured party pursuant to a Facility Mortgage, its successors and assigns, any servicer acting on behalf of a Facility Mortgagee with respect to a Facility Mortgage and, if any Facility Mortgage is deposited with a trust, then the trustee acting on behalf of the certificate holders of such trust.

18.3.Subordination of Lease and of Certain Payments.  This Master Lease is subject and subordinate to any Facility Mortgage, to all advances made or hereafter to be made thereunder and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and substitutions therefor. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination need be required by any Facility Mortgagee; provided, however, that upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and acknowledge a subordination agreement as required by any such Facility Mortgagee subordinating this Master Lease to such Facility Mortgage. As to any Facility Mortgage to which this Master Lease is subordinate, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a “non-disturbance agreement” reasonably acceptable to such Facility Mortgagee providing that, if such Facility Mortgagee acquires the Premises by way of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, such Facility Mortgagee will not disturb Tenant’s possession under this Master Lease and will recognize Tenant’s rights hereunder if and for so long as no Event of Default has occurred under this Master Lease and is continuing. Tenant agrees that it shall not have any right to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any amendment of this Master Lease required by a Facility Mortgagee, and Tenant shall be deemed to have withheld or delayed its consent if Tenant has received the non-disturbance agreement provided for above and the requested amendment does not materially alter the economic terms of this Master Lease or materially diminish the rights of Tenant under this Master Lease.

Tenant also acknowledges and agrees that all rights and payments due under any management, consulting or similar agreement or agreements relative to the operation of a Facility by or on behalf of Tenant are to be and are hereby made subordinate to Tenant’s full payment and performance of all obligations under this Master Lease to Landlord.  As a result, if an Event of Default occurs and during the continuance of an Event of Default or if an event or circumstance occurs, which with notice or the passage of time or both would become and Event of Default, then 

42

 

any and all payments otherwise due and owing to the manager or other party to such agreement(s) by Tenant shall cease and remain suspended until the Event of Default is cured or, if applicable, such other event or circumstance which might become an Event of Default no longer exists.  Upon resumption of payments, any applicable arrearage may be repaid in accordance with a payment schedule as agreed between Tenant and such manager with Landlord’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

18.4.Attornment.  If a Facility Mortgagee enforces the remedies provided for by law or by a Facility Mortgage, Tenant shall, at the option of the party succeeding (either directly or by subsequent transfer) to the interest of Landlord as a result of such enforcement or as a result of a deed or delivery of possession of the Premises or any portion thereof in lieu of such enforcement, attorn to such successor and recognize such successor as Landlord under this Master Lease; provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not (a) be bound by any payment of Fixed Monthly Rent for more than one (1) month in advance; (b) be bound by any modification of this Master Lease made without the written consent of the Facility Mortgagee or successor in interest as applicable; (c) be liable for any act or omission of Landlord; or (d) be subject to any offset or defense arising prior to the date such successor in interest acquired title to the Premises and Tenant agrees that any non-disturbance agreement referenced in Section 18.3, above, may include such provisions or other commercially reasonable provisions to protect or for the benefit of such successor in interest. Upon request, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the attornment provided for herein.

18.5.Tenant’s Certificate.  Tenant shall, upon not less than five (5) days prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and/or any other party designated by Landlord a certificate (a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) containing then-current facts and such other representations and warranties as are customarily provided by Tenant or as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any party designated by Landlord such as any Facility Mortgagee, purchaser or other third party that might be engaged in a transaction with Landlord, including, without limitation, certifications to the effect that this Master Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been any modifications, that this Master Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and setting forth such modifications), the dates to which Fixed Monthly Rent and additional charges hereunder have been paid, certifying that no default by either Landlord or Tenant exists hereunder or specifying each such default and as to other matters as Landlord may reasonably request. It is intended that any Tenant Estoppel Certificate delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by Landlord, any prospective tenant or purchaser of the Premises, any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee and any other party who reasonably may rely on such statement. Tenant’s failure to deliver Tenant Estoppel Certificate within such time shall constitute an Event of Default. In addition, if Tenant fails to deliver Tenant Estoppel Certificate within the five (5) day period referred to above, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to execute and deliver a certificate to the effect (if true) that Tenant represents and warrants that (a) this Master Lease is in full force and effect without modification, and (b) Landlord is not in breach or default of any of its obligations under this Master Lease. and (c) such other matters described in this Section 18.5 or otherwise reasonably required by the recipient of such certification.

18.6.Notice and Cure.  If a Facility Mortgagee acquires title to the Premises or any portion thereof by way of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, then commencing on the date the Facility Mortgagee acquires title, the Facility Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days within which to cure any default by Landlord under this Master Lease existing on such date, which is curable by the payment of a stipulated sum of money as a remedy and not as consequential damages; any other default not reasonably curable by payment of such sum shall be deemed waived. If the defaults by Landlord are cured during such period (or deemed cured in accordance with the foregoing provisions), then this Master Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Master Lease so long as the Facility Mortgagee performs all of Landlord’s subsequent obligations under this Master Lease. The foregoing rights to cure a Landlord default shall be exercisable in the sole discretion of the Facility Mortgagee, and, the Facility Mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure any default by Landlord.

Quiet Enjoyment

.  So long as there is no Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, free of any claim or other action not caused or created by Tenant (excepting, however, intrusion of Tenant’s quiet enjoyment occasioned by condemnation or destruction of the property as referred to in Section 13 and Section 14 hereof).

Applicable Law

.  This Master Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws rules of such state.

43

 

Assignment and Subletting

.  Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld at Landlord’s sole discretion, voluntarily or involuntarily assign, mortgage, encumber or hypothecate this Master Lease or any interest herein or sublet, license the Premises or any part thereof. For the purposes of this Master Lease, the following also shall be considered an assignment of this Master Lease by Tenant: (a) entering into a management or similar agreement relating to the operation and/or control of all or any part of the Premises, but excluding any ancillary service agreements reasonably necessary for the operations of a Facility for its Permitted Use, and (b) any change (voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) in the Person or Persons which Control the management and affairs of Tenant or Guarantor as of the Restatement Date (provided, however, Landlord agrees that its consent to a change in the Person or Persons which Control Guarantor as of the Restatement Date shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be void but shall, at the option of Landlord, in its sole discretion, constitute an Event of Default giving rise to Landlord’s right, among other things, to terminate this Master Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, this Master Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assigned or encumbered by operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be withheld at Landlord’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, assign this Master Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof to, or enter into a management agreement with respect to any or all of Tenant’s Operations with, an Affiliate of Tenant. In the event Landlord shall provide consent to any sublease or assignment or other prohibited transaction described in this Section 21, Landlord may condition its approval upon the proposed party and Tenant agreeing that the proposed party fully assumes the obligations of Tenant under this Master Lease, Tenant remains fully liable under this Master Lease, the use of the Premises remains unchanged or upon such other event or condition reasonably determined by Landlord as appropriate to protect its interests, and no such assignment or sublease shall be valid and no such proposed party shall take possession of the Premises, unless and until an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been delivered to Landlord. Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Premises on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either the income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or any other formula, such that any portion of the sublease rental received by Landlord would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.  Subject to Landlord’s review and approval of the form and substance of each sublease to be executed between Tenant, as sublandlord, and each of the Operators, Landlord gives its consent to Tenant subleasing (a) the Mountain’s Edge Property to the Mountain’s Edge Operator, (b) the Horizon Henderson Property to the Horizon Henderson Operator, (c) the Mira Vista Property to the Mira Vista Operator, and (d) the Spartanburg Property to the Spartanburg Operator; provided, however, each such sublease shall include the following provisions: (i) the rent to be charged to each Operator under its respective sublease shall be equal to the Fixed Annual Rent allocated to such Facility as set forth in Schedule 3.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein, (ii) the term of each sublease shall be coterminous with the Term, and (iii) upon the early termination of this Master Lease, at Landlord’s election, such sublease shall become a direct lease between such Operator, as tenant, and Landlord, as landlord.  For the purpose of this Master Lease, the transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or other disposition of any stock of Tenant or the Operators, other than to Tenant’s Senior Lender, which results in a change in the Person which ultimately exerts effective Control over the management of the affairs of Tenant as of the Restatement Date, shall be deemed to be a prohibited assignment of this Master Lease.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 21, in no event shall an initial public offering of Tenant be deemed to be an assignment of this Master Lease; provided, however, that after such initial public offering of Tenant any transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or other disposition of the voting stock of Tenant which results in twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting stock of Tenant being held by any Person or related group of Persons who did not have such ownership after the initial public offering shall be deemed to be a prohibited assignment of this Master Lease.

Indemnification

.  

22.1.Indemnification of Landlord. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties from and against any and all foreseeable or unforeseeable liability, expense loss, costs, deficiency, fine, penalty, or damage (including, without limitation, punitive or consequential damages) of any kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, from any suits, claims or demands, on account of any matter or thing, action or failure to act arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s Operations (including, without limitation, the breach by Tenant of any of its obligations hereunder), Tenant’s acts or omissions with regard to the Premises, or the operations of Tenant on the Premises, including, without limitation, all claims relating to malpractice liability, other tort liability, contract liability, Environmental 

44

 

Activities by Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants, agents, employees or invitees on the Premises, all Hazardous Materials Claims resulting from any violation by Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants, agents, employees or invitees of a Hazardous Materials Law with respect to the Premises. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that Landlord believes is covered by this indemnity, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the matter. Tenant shall defend Landlord against such matter at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) with legal counsel satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord may elect to defend any such matter with its own counsel at Tenant’s expense.

22.1.1.Indemnification of Tenant.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless Tenant, its directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees from and against any and all foreseeable or unforeseeable liability, expense loss, costs, deficiency, fine, penalty, or damage (including, without limitation, punitive or consequential damages) of any kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, from any suits, claims or demands, on account of any matter or thing, action or failure to act arising out of or in connection with the breach by Landlord of any of its obligations hereunder.

Holding Over

.  If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term, such possession shall be as a tenant at will under the law of the state in which the affected Facility is located.  During such occupancy, rent shall be payable at the rate equal to 150% times the Fixed Annual Rent in effect during the last year of the Term, and the provisions of this Master Lease shall be applicable and continue in full force and effect. However, Landlord’s acceptance of any rent payments and the terms of this Section 23 shall not constitute renewal of this Master Lease or give Tenant any right to continue to occupy the Premises on a month-to-month basis or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained elsewhere in this Master Lease, if, upon the expiration or any termination of this Master Lease, Tenant is unable to surrender the Premises because Landlord fails to provide a Qualified Successor for a Facility at the end of the Term to take over the operation and management of such Facility, Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, remain in possession of the Premises and continue to operate and manage the same if Tenant would be legally prohibited from abandoning the Premises or in Tenant’s judgment, based on reasonable commercial standards in the particular healthcare provider industry applicable to such Facility’s Permitted Use, abandoning the Premises without a Qualified Successor in place to continue the operations of the Facility would jeopardize its or its Affiliates’ reputation as a provider of the healthcare services provided by a Facility’s Permitted Use or could otherwise subject it or its Affiliates to liability for negligence or mistreatment of patients or residents at such Facility.  In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall, during such occupancy, pay to Landlord rent at the same rate payable by Tenant in the last year of the Term, and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord provides a Qualified Successor for the applicable Facility or Facilities.  The term “Qualified Successor” means a qualified and duly licensed operator of the Facility for its Permitted Use or one as to which the applicable Governmental Authority responsible for licensing such Facility for its Permitted Use has indicated its willingness to issue a license upon transfer of possession of the applicable Facility.

Arbitration/Waiver of Jury Trial

.  If any controversy should arise between Landlord and Tenant in the performance, interpretation or application of this Master Lease, involving any matter, either party may serve upon the other a written notice stating that such party desires to have the controversy reviewed by an arbitrator, in which case both Landlord and Tenant shall be required to submit such dispute to arbitration and the decision of the arbitrator in accordance with this Section 24 shall be final and conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree within fifteen (15) days from the service of such notice upon the selection of such arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be selected or designated by the American Arbitration Association upon written request of either party hereto. Arbitration of such controversy, disagreement, or dispute shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration Association and the decision and award of the arbitrator so selected shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

If the issue to be arbitrated is Landlord’s or Tenant’s alleged breach of this Master Lease and as a result thereof, Landlord or Tenant has the right to terminate this Master Lease, Tenant shall continue to lease the Premises pending the outcome of such arbitration, provided, Landlord or Tenant may elect to proceed without arbitration under its other remedies in this Master Lease.

45

 

LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER LANDLORD OR TENANT AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS MASTER LEASE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE AND OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE RELATING TO THE FOREGOING OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER.

25.1.In consideration of the execution of this Master Lease by Tenant and the Operators, Landlord agrees to make available to Tenant an aggregate amount of up to Eleven Million and No/100 Dollars ($11,000,000.00) for use by Tenant for the construction and equipping of surgical suites at the Mountain’s Edge Property (the “Mountain’s Edge Capital Addition Project”) subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the work letter agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein (the “Mountain’s Edge Work Letter”). 

25.2.Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) continues to be the administrative agent for certain lenders (“Lenders”) which have provided a revolving credit facility and certain other financial accommodations (collectively, the “KeyBank Loan”) to MedEquities Realty Operating Partnership, LP, the sole member of Landlord (“Member”), and that Agent and the Lenders continue to have, or may in the future, receive as a part of the security for the KeyBank Loan a collateral assignment of all of the Member’s equity interests in Landlord (the “Equity Pledge”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Master Lease and any other documents entered into in connection with this Maser Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, in the event of any transfer of the Premises or any portion thereof (whether by foreclosure of the Equity Pledge, deed in lieu thereof or otherwise) to Agent, a Lender, any Person to whom the KeyBank Loan or the Equity Pledge has been assigned, in whole or in part, or any designee or nominee thereof (each, a “Lender Party”) or any subsequent transferee of a Lender Party, no Lender Party, nor any subsequent transferee of such Lender Party, shall be (i) obligated to fund, advance or disburse, or to cause to be funded, advanced or disbursed, any then remaining portion of Landlord’s Maximum Cost (as defined in the Work Letter) under this Master Lease, and (ii) bound by any obligation which may appear in this Master Lease to pay any sum of money to Tenant, and the failure to make any such advances or disbursements shall not be a default under this Master Lease.

26.Separation of Master Lease.  

26.1.1.Landlord shall have the right, in connection with any Separation Event (as defined hereinafter) during the applicable Term, by written notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to execute an amendment to this Master Lease whereby the Property of one or more Facilities affected by such Separation Event (individually, a “Separated Property” or collectively, the “Separated Properties”) is separated and removed from this Master Lease, and to simultaneously execute a substitute lease with respect to such Separated Property(ies), in which case, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a new lease (the “New Lease”) for such Separated Property(ies), effective as of the date specified in Section 26.1.3 below (the “New Lease Effective Date”), in the same form and substance as this Master Lease, but with such changes thereto as necessary to reflect the separation of the Separated Property(ies) from the balance of the Premises, including specifically the following:

26.1.1.1.The total Fixed Monthly Rent payable under such New Lease shall be the total applicable Fixed Monthly Rent for such Separated Property(ies) as set forth in Schedule 3.1 (subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 3.2 and Section 3.4 herein);

26.1.1.2.All Fixed Annual Rent escalations under the New Lease shall be at the times and in the amounts set forth in this Master Lease for such increases; and

46

 

26.1.1.3.The Term of the New Lease shall be the same as the Term applicable to the Separated Property(ies) pursuant to this Master Lease.

26.1.2.Landlord and Tenant shall also execute an amendment to this Master Lease effective as of the New Lease Effective Date reflecting the separation of the Separated Property(ies) from the balance of the Premises and making such modifications to this Master Lease as are necessitated thereby.

26.1.3.In the case of any New Lease that is entered into in accordance with this Section 26, such New Lease shall be effective on the date the New Lease is fully executed and delivered by the parties thereto; provided, however, that Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver any New Lease within ten (10) days after the date that a draft New Lease consistent with the requirements of this Section 26 is provided to Tenant shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

26.1.4.Concurrently with the execution of any New Lease entered into in accordance with this Section 26, Guarantor shall execute a written guaranty of such New Lease in the same form and substance as the Master Lease Guaranty. 

26.1.5.Tenant and Landlord shall take such actions and execute and deliver such documents, including without limitation the New Lease and an amendment to this Master Lease, as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectuate the provisions and intent of this Section 26.

26.1.6.Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with any New Lease entered into in accordance with this Section 26.

26.1.7.For purposes of this Section 26, the term “Separation Event”  shall mean: (i) the sale, conveyance or other transfer by Landlord of all or any portion of its interest in the Property of one (1) or more Facilities; or (ii) the sale, conveyance or other transfer of all or any portion of the stock, partnership, membership or other equity interests in Landlord or any Person comprising Landlord.

27.No Termination or Abatement of Master Lease.  Tenant, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Master Lease in accordance with its terms in all events, unless Landlord shall elect to terminate this Master Lease (other than due to an Event of Default) in accordance with the terms hereof. Tenant shall not take any action without the prior written consent of Landlord to modify, surrender or terminate this Master Lease. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and rent and all other sums shall continue to be payable by Tenant hereunder in any event unless the obligation of Tenant to pay the same terminates pursuant to the express provisions of this Master Lease in Section 13 and Section 14 (other than by reason of an Event of Default). Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall not seek or be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of rent, or set-off against rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant be otherwise affected by reason of: (a) any damage to, or destruction of, all or any portion of the Property of any Facility from whatever cause or any Taking of all or any portion of the Property of any Facility; (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Property of any Facility or the interference with such use or with Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Property of any Facility by any Person or entity (other than due to the intentional affirmative and wrongful act of Landlord); (c) the eviction of Tenant from the Property of any Facility, whether by paramount title or otherwise; (d) any claim which Tenant has or may have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Master Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant; (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (1) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing.

All costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal costs and expenses (“Legal Costs”) incurred by the prevailing party in enforcing any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Master Lease shall be paid by the non-prevailing party, which Legal Costs shall include, without limitation, all such reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal costs and expenses incurred with respect to appeals, arbitrations, and bankruptcy proceedings or whether or not any action or proceeding is brought with respect to the matter for which said fees and expenses were incurred.

47

 

Severability

.  In the event any part or provision of this Master Lease shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion of this Master Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect.

Counterparts

.  This Master Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

32.Restatement of Original Leases. This Master Lease amends, consolidates, supersedes and restates in their entirety each of the Original Leases, and, to the extent applicable, shall constitute an assignment by each “tenant” under the Original Leases to the Person constituting Tenant hereunder, jointly and severally. Notwithstanding the foregoing amendment, consolidation and restatement of the Original Leases,  the applicable “tenant” under each Original Lease shall remain responsible for and shall indemnify and hold Landlord Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, actions and causes of action, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, for which such Person is responsible pursuant to such Original Lease and which accrue or have accrued on or before the Restatement Date.

Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that this Master Lease shall be treated as a true lease and as an operating lease for all purposes and not as a synthetic lease, financing lease or loan, and that Landlord shall be entitled to all the benefits of ownership of the Property of each Facility, including depreciation for all federal, state and local tax purposes.

Memorandum of Lease

.  Landlord and Tenant shall, promptly upon the request of either, enter into a short form memorandum of this Master Lease, in form suitable for recording under the laws of the state in which the applicable Property is located in which reference to this Master Lease shall be made. The party requesting such recordation shall pay all costs and expenses of preparing and recording such memorandum of this Master Lease.

Incorporation of Recitals and Attachments; Integration

.  The recitals and exhibits, schedules, addenda and other attachments to this Master Lease are hereby incorporated into this Master Lease and made a part hereof. This Master Lease with the exhibits attached hereto, together with the Master Lease Guaranty  executed by Guarantor, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties hereto and contains all terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the Parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises; all prior agreements between the Parties, whether written or oral, relating to same are merged herein, and except as may be specifically set forth herein, shall be of no force and effect.

Titles and Headings

.  The titles and headings of sections of this Master Lease are intended for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Master Lease.

Usury Savings Clause

.  Nothing contained in this Master Lease shall be deemed or construed to constitute an extension of credit by Landlord to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any payment made to Landlord hereunder is deemed to violate any applicable laws regarding usury, the portion of any payment deemed to be usurious shall be held by Landlord to pay the future obligations of Tenant as such obligations arise and, in the event Tenant discharges and performs all obligations hereunder, such funds will be reimbursed to Tenant upon the expiration of the Term. No interest shall be paid on any such funds held by Landlord.

Joint and Several

Interpretation

.  Both Landlord and Tenant have been represented by counsel and this Master Lease has been freely and fairly negotiated. Consequently, all provisions of this Master Lease shall be interpreted according to their fair meaning and shall not be strictly construed against any party.

Brokerage Fees/Commissions

.  Landlord and Tenant each represent to the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Master Lease. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other against any claims for brokerage or other commissions arising by reason of a breach of this representation and warranty.

Additional Rent

.  Whenever under the terms of this Master Lease any sum of money is required to be paid by Tenant in addition to the Fixed Annual Rent or Fixed Monthly Rent, as applicable, herein reserved, whether or not such sum is herein designated as additional rent or provision is made for the collection of said sum as additional rent, said sum shall nevertheless be deemed additional rent and shall be collectible as such with the first installment of rent thereafter falling due hereunder.

5.
	
Landlord may assign this Guaranty in whole or in part to Landlord’s successor in interest under the Master Lease, and no assignment of this Guaranty shall operate to extinguish or diminish the liability of the undersigned hereunder.

The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be primary under any right of action which shall accrue to Landlord under the Master Lease, and Landlord may, at its option, proceed against Guarantor without 

B ‒ 2

 

		
having to commence any action against Tenant or obtain any judgment against Tenant. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

	
7.
	
The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or discharged, in whole or in part, by reason of: (a) the entry of an order for relief pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by or against Tenant; or (b) the proposal of or the consummation of a plan of reorganization concerning Tenant.

	
8.
	
Guarantor agrees that any judgment rendered against Tenant for monies or performance due Landlord shall in every and all respects bind and be conclusive against Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor had appeared in any such proceedings and judgment therein had been rendered against Guarantor.

	
9.
	
Guarantor subordinates to Tenant’s obligations to Landlord all indebtedness of Tenant to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter contracted, whether direct or indirect, contingent or determined.

Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, for the benefit of the Landlord:  (a) any right to require the Landlord, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Tenant, any other guarantor (including any other guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Tenant, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Landlord in favor of any Tenant or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Landlord whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense (other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations) of any Tenant or any other guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Tenant or any other guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or any law, rule, regulation, or order of any jurisdiction affecting any term of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any defense based upon the Landlord’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Landlord protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices (other than notices expressly required hereunder or under the Master Lease), demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default under the Master Lease or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Tenant and notices of any of the matters referred to in this Section 4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

	
5.
	
Landlord may assign this Guaranty in whole or in part to Landlord’s successor in interest under the Master Lease, and no assignment of this Guaranty shall operate to extinguish or diminish the liability of the undersigned hereunder.

	
6.
	
The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be primary under any right of action which shall accrue to Landlord under the Master Lease, and Landlord may, at its option, proceed against Guarantor without having to commence any action against Tenant or obtain any judgment against Tenant. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

 

 

	
7.
	
The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or discharged, in whole or in part, by reason of: (a) the entry of an order for relief pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by or against Tenant; or (b) the proposal of or the consummation of a plan of reorganization concerning Tenant.

	
8.
	
Guarantor agrees that any judgment rendered against Tenant for monies or performance due Landlord shall in every and all respects bind and be conclusive against Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor had appeared in any such proceedings and judgment therein had been rendered against Guarantor.

	
9.
	
Guarantor subordinates to Tenant’s obligations to Landlord all indebtedness of Tenant to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter contracted, whether direct or indirect, contingent or determined. With respect to any such indebtedness of Tenant to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees to make no claim therefor until any and all obligations of Tenant to Landlord shall have been discharged in full and Guarantor covenants and agrees not to assign all or any part of such indebtedness while this Guaranty remains in effect. Upon written notice from Landlord of an Event of Default (as defined in the Master Lease) under the Master Lease, Guarantor shall not accept payment of any indebtedness, whether existing or hereafter contracted, by Tenant to Guarantor, unless and until written notice from Landlord that the Event of Default has been cured, waived, or otherwise suspended by Landlord; provided, however, during all other times, Tenant may pay, and Guarantor may accept payment of, any indebtedness, whether existing or hereafter contracted, owing by Tenant to Guarantor.

	
10.
	
The waiver of any right by Landlord or its failure to exercise promptly any right shall not be construed as a waiver of any other right including the right to exercise the same at any time thereafter. No waiver or modification of any of the terms or conditions of this Guaranty shall be binding against Landlord, unless such waiver or modification is in writing signed by Landlord. No delay on Landlord’s part in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty or any other document executed in connection herewith shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege, power or right.

	
11.
	
If any term, covenant or condition of this Guaranty, or any application thereof, should be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, all terms, covenants and conditions of this Guaranty, and all applications thereof not held invalid, void or unenforceable shall continue in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.

	
12.
	
The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any portion of any payment or performance hereunder is subsequently avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise under the federal Bankruptcy Code or other similar laws or such payment(s) is otherwise set aside, and this Guaranty shall be deemed automatically restored and reinstated in such event until Landlord has been fully paid and indefeasibly recovered the full benefit of the full payment and performance due under the Master Lease and this Guaranty.
