ARTICLE 2 - DEMISED PREMISES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY

 

2.1       Lessor, for and in consideration of the Rent to be paid and the other covenants and agreements hereinafter reserved, mentioned and contained to be kept and performed by Lessee and its successors and assigns, does hereby lease unto Lessee the Leased Property for the Term, for use and operation therein and thereon of Medicaid and Medicare certified skilled and intermediate care nursing home facilities, in full compliance with all the rules and regulations and minimum standards applicable thereto, as prescribed by the State of Nebraska and such other governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof, each Facility Property having no less than the number of licensed Medicare and Medicaid certified beds as set forth in the first recital of this Lease for such Facilities, and for any other purpose authorized by Lessor in writing and for no other purpose.

 

2.2       This Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the entire Leased Property. The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit and the Base Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based on a lease of all of the Leased Property as a single, composite, inseparable transaction. This Lease would not have been made on these terms if it was not a single indivisible lease. Except as expressly provided herein for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Lease shall apply equally and uniformly to all the Leased Property as one unit and any Event of Default under this Lease is an Event of Default as to the entire Leased Property. The parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create a single indivisible lease of all the Leased Property, and in particular but without limitation, that for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, this is one indivisible and nonseverable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Leased Property covered hereby. The parties agree that the existence of more than one Lessor under this Lease does not affect the indivisible, nonseverable nature of this Lease. The parties may amend this Lease from time to time to include one or more additional Facilities as part of the Leased Property and such future addition to the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force.

 

ARTICLE 3 - TERM OF LEASE

 

3.1       Except as expressly provided below, the term of this Lease shall be for a period of twelve (12) years and nineteen (19) days commencing on the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”), and shall expire on May 31, 2027 (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier as provided for herein.

 

 

3.2       Lessee shall have and is hereby granted the right and option to extend the Initial Term of this Lease for an extended term (the “First Extended Term”) of ten (10) Lease Years upon and subject to all the terms, provisions and conditions hereof, except that Base Rent, as hereinafter defined, payable with respect to each Lease Year of the First Extended Term shall be the amount set forth in Section 4.1. The first Lease Year of the First Extended Term shall commence upon the day next following the expiration of the Initial Term.

 

The option granted pursuant to this Section 3.2 may be exercised only if Lessee is not in default under this Lease at the time of exercise and at the time of expiration of the Initial Term, and, further, only if there is not at either time an event or occurrence which with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default hereunder, and said option shall be exercised by Lessee giving to Lessor written notice of Lessee’s election so to do not less than twenty-four (24) full calendar months prior to the date of expiration of the Initial Term.

 

3.3       Lessee shall have and is hereby granted the right and option to extend the First Extended Term of this Lease for an extended term (the “Second Extended Term”) of ten (10) Lease Years upon and subject to all the terms, provisions and conditions hereof, except that Base Rent, as hereinafter defined, payable with respect to each Lease Year of the Second Extended Term shall be the amount set forth in Section 4.1. The first Lease Year of the Second Extended Term shall commence upon the day next following the expiration of the First Extended Term.

 

The options granted pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 may be exercised only if Lessee is not in default under this Lease at the time of exercise and at the time of expiration of the First Extended Term, and, further, only if there is not at either time an event or occurrence which with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default hereunder, and said option shall be exercised by Lessee giving to Lessor written notice of Lessee’s election so to do not less than twenty-four (24) full calendar months prior to the date of expiration of the First Extended Term.

 

The Initial Term, as it may be extended by the First Extended Term and, as it may be extended by the Second Extended Term, is hereinafter collectively known as the “Term”.

 

3.4       It is anticipated that the closing of the purchase of the Crete Plus Five Leased Property by Lessor from Seller will occur on or before July 1, 2015. Lessee hereby agrees that the obligations of this Lease with respect to the Crete Plus Five Leased Property, the obligations of Lessor and the rights of Lessee to lease the Crete Plus Five Leased Property pursuant to this Lease shall commence concurrently with the applicable Lessor’s acquisition of the Crete Plus Five Leased Property, but each of Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 3.4, such obligations are subject to and conditioned upon the purchase of the Crete Plus Five Leased Property by the applicable Lessor. In no event shall the provisions of this Lease be effective as to the Crete Plus Five Leased Property prior to the time the applicable Lessor closes on the purchase of the Crete Plus Five Leased Property; provided, however, in the event that the applicable Lessor terminates the Purchase Agreement based on the condition of the Crete Plus Five Leased Property or the results of its due diligence investigations or otherwise, Lessee shall pay any Closing Costs incurred by Lessor not recovered by Lessor from the seller under the Purchase Agreement.

 

 

ARTICLE 4 - BASE RENT

 

4.1       Lessee shall pay to Lessor a monthly rental (“Base Rent”) for the Demised Premises and the Personal Property over and above all other and additional payments to be made by Lessee as provided in this Lease, in the amount set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof. The payment of monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent (together with all tax and insurance deposits required pursuant to Section 7.1) shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Term. Unless otherwise notified in writing, all payments of Rent shall be sent by wire directly to such account as Lessor has previously or may in the future designate in writing from time to time. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be referred to herein as “Rent.” The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Rent payable for May 2015 and prior periods are subject to payment as provided under the terms of Lease 1, Lease 2 and Lease 3, as applicable, and that the Base Rent schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C will commence on June 1, 2016.

 

4.2       The parties agree that the Base Rent that will be attributable collectively to the Crete Plus Five Leased Property is based on the parties’ assumption that Lessor shall purchase same pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of Fifteen Million and 00/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) plus any Closing Costs incurred by the applicable Lessor in connection therewith (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The parties agree that the Base Rent due and payable under this Lease shall be increased immediately upon the closing of the acquisition of the Crete Plus Five Leased Property in an initial annualized amount equal to Nine Percent (9.0%) of the Purchase Price, such amount to increase at the commencement of each Lease Year by an amount equal to the same percentage that Base Rent payable hereunder would have increased had the Crete Plus Five Lease Property not been acquired. Immediately prior to the closing of the Crete Plus Five Leased Property purchase and sale, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a written statement setting forth the amount of the Purchase Price, including the amount of Closing Costs, and the amount of the adjusted Base Rent for the duration of the first Lease Year, which statement shall, without further action by Lessee, establish the Base Rent until the first adjustment date. In the event that the final total amount of the Purchase Price cannot be determined as of the date the Crete Plus Five Leased Property is acquired and subject to this Lease, the Base Rent shall be adjusted as of the date such final total Purchase Price is finally determined by Lessor, and Lessee shall immediately pay Lessor an amount equal to the difference between the Base Rent as of the date the Crete Plus Five Leased Property is acquired and subject to this Lease and the adjusted Base Rent for all periods preceding the date in which the final total Purchase Price is finally determined. In the event the date the Crete Plus Five Leased Property is acquired and subject to this Lease shall be other than the first day of the month, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a pro rata portion of the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the month and a pro rata portion of all tax, insurance and other deposits provided for in this Lease.

 

4.3       Base Rent during the first Lease Year of the First Extended Term, if exercised, and the first Lease Year of the Second Extended Term, if exercised, shall be equal to nine percent (9%) of the Appraised FMV (as hereinafter defined), which shall be determined after Lessee exercises each of its respective options. As used herein, the term “Appraised FMV” means the appraised fair market value of the Leased Property, as determined by a Qualified Appraiser (as defined below), based on the assumption that the Leased Property will continue to be operated as a skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility or independent living facility, as applicable. The term “Qualified Appraiser” means an appraiser certified as an MAI appraiser or with equivalent certification, and mutually acceptable to Lessor and Lessee. In the event that Lessor and Lessee cannot reach agreement as to the Qualified Appraiser, Lessor and Lessee shall each choose a Qualified Appraiser who shall, within ten (10) business days of such selection meet and select a third Qualified Appraiser to determine the Apprised FMV; provided, however, Base Rent during the first Lease Year of the First Extended Term and the first Lease Year of the Second Extended Term shall not: (a) be less than the one hundred two percent (102%) of the Base Rent payable in the immediately preceding Lease Year; nor (b) increase by more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Base Rent payable during the immediately preceding Lease Year. The cost and expenses for each Qualified Appraiser shall be paid by Lessee. On the first anniversary of the First Extended Term, and on each anniversary thereafter during the First Extended Term, the Base Rent shall increase by two percent (2.0%) over the Base Rent in effect for the prior Lease Year. On the first anniversary of the Second Extended Term, and on each anniversary thereafter during the Second Extended Term, the Base Rent shall increase by two percent (2.0%) over the Base Rent in effect for the prior Lease Year.

 

 

4.4       This Lease is and shall be deemed and construed to be a “pure net” or “triple- net” lease and the Rent specified herein shall be net to Lessor in each year during the Term of this Lease. Lessee shall pay all costs, expenses and obligations of every kind whatsoever relating to the Demised Premises which may arise or become due during the Term, except for Lessor’s income taxes, franchise taxes and any principal and interest payments relating to any Mortgage/Underlying Lease (collectively, “Additional Rent”). Lessee does hereby indemnify Lessor against any and all such costs, expenses and obligations. Lessor shall not be required to provide any service or do any act or thing with respect to the Leased Property or any part thereof, including the buildings and improvements thereon and the appurtenances thereto.

 

4.5       Lessee recognizes and acknowledges that Lessor and/or certain beneficial owners of Lessor may from time to time qualify as real estate investment trusts pursuant to Sections 856 et seq. of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that avoiding (a) the loss of such status, (b) the receipt of any income derived under any provision of this Lease that does not constitute “rents from real property” (in the case of real estate investment trusts), and (c) the imposition of income, penalty or similar taxes (each an “Adverse Event”) is of material concern to Lessor and such beneficial owners. In the event that this Lease or any document contemplated hereby could, in the opinion of counsel to Lessor, result in or cause an Adverse Event, Lessee agrees to cooperate with Lessor in negotiating an amendment or modification thereof and shall at the request of Lessor execute and deliver such documents reasonably required to effect such amendment or modification. Any amendment or modification shall be structured so that the economic results to Lessor and Lessee shall be substantially similar to those set forth in this Lease without regard to such amendment or modification. Without limiting any of Lessor’s other rights pursuant to this provision, Lessor may waive the receipt of any amount payable to Lessor hereunder and such waiver shall constitute an amendment or modification of this Lease with respect to such payment.

 

ARTICLE 5 - LATE CHARGES

 

5.1 If payment of any sums required to be paid or deposited by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, and payments made by Lessor under any provision hereof for which Lessor is entitled to reimbursement by Lessee, shall become overdue beyond three (3) days after the date on which they are due and payable as in this Lease provided, a late charge of five percent (5%) per month on the sums so overdue shall become immediately due and payable to Lessor and said late charges shall be payable on the first day of the month next succeeding the month during which such late charges become payable. If non-payment of any late charges shall occur, Lessor shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies, all the rights and remedies provided for herein and by law in the case of non-payment of Rent. No failure by Lessor to insist upon the strict performance by Lessee of Lessee’s obligations to pay late charges shall constitute a waiver by Lessor of its rights to enforce the provisions of this Article in any instance thereafter occurring.

 

 

ARTICLE 6 - PAYMENT OF TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS

 

6.1       Lessee will pay or cause to be paid, as provided herein, as Additional Rent, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the non-payment thereof, all taxes (including but not limited to real estate taxes, ad valorem taxes, school taxes, assessments and personal property, intangible and use taxes, if any) , assessments, licenses and permit fees, bed taxes, charges for public utilities, and all governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever which during the Term may be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon or become due and payable out of or in respect of, or become a lien on the Demised Premises and/or Personal Property or any part thereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Taxes and Assessments”).

 

6.2       Any Taxes and Assessments relating to a fiscal period of any authority, a part of which is included within the Term and a part of which is included in a period of time before or after the Term, shall be adjusted pro rata between Lessor and Lessee and each party shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any such Taxes and Assessments.

 

6.3       Nothing herein contained shall require Lessee to pay income taxes assessed against Lessor, or capital levy, franchise, estate, succession or inheritance taxes of Lessor.

Said deposits shall be due and payable on the first day of each month as Additional Rent, shall not bear interest and shall be held, at Lessor’s option, by Lessor and/or Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor to pay the Taxes and Assessments and insurance premiums as they become due and payable.

9.4       An original Certificate of Insurance and Evidence of Property Coverage for all insurance policies required by this Article shall be delivered to Lessor at least five (5) days prior to the Commencement Date and replacement Certificates of Insurance and Evidence of Property Coverage at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of expiration. From time-to-time immediately after Lessor’s request thereof, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all insurance policies then being carried by Lessee pursuant to these insurance requirements.

 

 

9.5       Lessee shall at all times keep in effect business interruption insurance with a loss of rents endorsement naming Lessor as an insured in an amount at least sufficient to cover each of the following for the period of the next succeeding twelve (12) months following the occurrence of the business interruption:

 

(A)      The aggregate of the cost of all Taxes and Assessments due for such twelve (12) month period;

 

(B)      The cost of all insurance premiums for insurance required to be carried by Lessee for such twelve (12) month period; and

All proceeds of any business interruption insurance shall be applied, first, to the payment of any and all Base Rent payments for such twelve (12) month period; second, to the payment of any taxes and assessments and insurance deposits required for such twelve (12) month period; and, thereafter, after all necessary repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing has been completed as required by the pertinent provisions of this Lease and the pertinent sections of any mortgage/deed of trust/senior lease, any remaining balance of such proceeds shall be paid over to Lessee.

 

9.6       From time to time, Lessor or any mortgagee/beneficiary/senior lessor may reasonably require Lessee to change the amount or type of insurance, or to add or substitute additional coverages, required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder.

 

9.7       In the event the amount of any casualty insurance proceeds exceed Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00), such insurance proceeds as may be paid to Lessee and Lessor shall be deposited with Lessor to be held and disbursed for the repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, or any improvements from time to time situated thereon or therein subject to the pertinent provisions of any Mortgage/Underlying Lease and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

 

No sums shall be paid by Lessor toward such repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing unless it shall be first made to appear to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor that the amount of money necessary to provide for any such repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing (according to any plans or specifications which may be adopted therefor) in excess of the amount received from any such insurance policies has been expended or provided by Lessee for such repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing, and that the amount received from such insurance policies is sufficient to complete such work. In the event there is any amount required in excess of the amount received from such insurance policies, Lessee shall deposit such excess funds with Lessor so that the total amount available will be sufficient to complete such repairing, rebuilding, restoring or replacing in accordance with the provisions of any Mortgage/Underlying Lease and any plans and specifications submitted in connection therewith, free from any liens or encumbrances of any kind whatsoever and the funds held by Lessor shall be disbursed only upon presentment of architect’s or general contractor’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, and other evidence of cost and payments as may be reasonably required by Lessor or any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor.

Any such costs or expenses incurred or payments made by Lessor shall be deemed to be Additional Rent payable by Lessee and collectible as such by Lessor.

 

10.2     Performance of, and/or payment made, to discharge said Lessee’s obligations shall be optional with Lessor and such performance and payment shall in no way constitute a waiver of, or a limitation upon, Lessor’s other rights hereunder.

 

10.3     Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor shall have the right but not the obligation to perform any covenants and pay any amounts which Lessee has failed to so perform or pay as required under the terms of this Lease but only to the extent such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor is entitled under the terms of its Mortgage/Underlying Lease.

 

ARTICLE 11 - REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE; CASUALTY

 

11.1     Throughout the Term, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, the Leased Property (including without limitation the sidewalks, alleyways, passageways, vacant land, parking spaces, curb cuts, and curbs adjoining the Demised Premises) in good order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted subject to Lessee’s obligation to repair and replace the same in accordance with the terms of this Lease) without waste, and Lessee will make or cause to be made, as and when the same shall become necessary, all structural and nonstructural, exterior and interior, replacing, repairing and restoring necessary to comply with the above requirements. All replacing, repairing and restoring required of Lessee shall be new and (in the reasonable opinion of Lessor) of first-class quality and shall be in compliance with all standards and requirements of law, licenses and municipal ordinances necessary to operate the Demised Premises as Medicaid and Medicare certified skilled and intermediate care nursing home facilities with each Facility having no less than the number of licensed Medicare and Medicaid certified beds as set forth in the first recital of this Lease. Any items of Personal Property that are uneconomical to repair shall be replaced by new items of first- class quality and all replacement items shall become part of the Personal Property. No items of Personal Property shall be removed from the Demised Premises except in connection with repair or replacement of such items. In performing such repairs, Lessee shall comply in all respects with Section 14.1 of this Lease, and shall deliver to Lessor with evidence satisfactory to Lessor of such compliance, including, without limitation, copies of lien waivers and/or paid invoices for all such repairs.

 

 

11.2     In the event that any part of the improvements located on the Demised Premises or the Personal Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (any such event being called a “Casualty”), Lessee shall promptly and with all due diligence, but in any event on or before one year after the date of such Casualty, replace, repair and restore the same as nearly as possible to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty, in accordance with all of the terms, covenants and conditions and other applicable requirements of this Lease and any Mortgage/Underlying Lease in the event of such Casualty, whether or not the insurance proceeds or other compensation are sufficient to pay the cost of such restoration and repair. The Demised Premises and the Personal Property shall be so replaced, repaired and restored as to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to such Casualty. Lessee shall submit to Lessor for Lessor’s prior written approval plans and specifications for any such restoring, replacing or repairing, and Lessee shall immediately select an independent architect approved by Lessor and any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor, who shall be in charge of such repairing, restoring and replacing. Without limitation of Lessor’s rights hereunder, there shall be the following additional conditions precedent to any disbursement of insurance proceeds: (i) at the time of each and every disbursement there shall exist no Event of Default under this Lease nor any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default hereunder and (ii) Lessor and Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor, if applicable, shall have approved all plans and specifications for any proposed repair or restoration. Lessee covenants that it will give to Lessor prompt written notice of any Casualty affecting the Leased Property. Provided that Lessee is not in default under this Lease, Lessee shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to remove and dispose of any Personal Property which may have become obsolete or unfit for use, or which is no longer useful in the operation of the Demised Premises, provided further that Lessee promptly replaces any such Personal Property so removed or disposed of with other personal property free of any security interest, lien or encumbrance. Said replacement Personal Property shall be of the same character and at least equal usefulness and quality to such Personal Property so removed or disposed of and such replacement Personal Property shall automatically become the property of and shall belong to Lessor, and Lessee shall execute such bills of sale or other documents reasonably requested by Lessor to vest the ownership of such Personal Property in Lessor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, there shall be no abatement or other adjustment of Rent as a result of such Casualty.

 

ARTICLE 12 - ALTERATIONS AND DEMOLITION

 

12.1     Lessee will not remove or demolish any improvement or building which is part of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof or allow it to be removed or demolished, without the prior written consent of Lessor. Lessee further agrees that it will not make, authorize or permit to be made any changes or alterations in or to the Demised Premises without first obtaining Lessor’s written consent thereto. All alterations, improvements and additions to the Demised Premises shall be of first-class quality, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor, and shall become the property of Lessor and shall meet all building and fire codes, and all other applicable codes, rules, regulations, laws and ordinances.

 

ARTICLE 13 - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND ORDINANCES

 

13.1     Throughout the Term, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will obey, observe and promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of any federal, state and municipal governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over all or any portion of the Leased Property and the use and operation thereof as Medicaid and Medicare certified skilled and intermediate care nursing home facilities, which may be applicable to the Leased Property and including, but not limited to, the sidewalks, alleyways, passageways, vacant land, parking spaces, curb cuts, curbs adjoining the Demised Premises, whether or not such laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or requirements shall necessitate structural changes or improvements.

 

 

13.2     Lessee shall likewise observe and comply with the requirements of all policies of public liability and fire insurance and all other policies of insurance at any time in force with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof.

 

13.3     Lessee shall promptly apply for and procure and keep in good standing and in full force and effect all necessary licenses, permits, provider agreements and certifications required by any governmental authority for the purpose of maintaining and operating Medicaid and Medicare certified skilled and intermediate care nursing home facilities on the Demised Premises with each Facility having no less than the number of licensed Medicare and Medicaid certified beds set forth in the first recital of this Lease, and each Facility shall at all times be qualified to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs.

 

13.4     Lessee will deliver or mail to Lessor wherever Rent hereunder is then paid in form required for notices within ten (10) days of receipt thereof copies of all inspection reports, annual license renewals, deficiency reports and surveys and administrative hearings and/or court actions from all state, federal and local governmental bodies regarding all or a portion of the Leased Property or any nursing home facility operated thereon. Lessee shall notify Lessor within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt thereof of any notice from any governmental agency terminating or suspending or threatening termination or suspension, of any license, permit, provider agreement or certification relating to the Leased Property and shall provide a copy of the same to Lessor.

 

ARTICLE 14 - DISCHARGE OF LIENS

 

14.1     Lessee will not create or permit to be created or to remain, and Lessee will discharge, any lien, encumbrance or charge levied on account of any mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialman’s lien or any conditional sale, security agreement or chattel mortgage, or otherwise, which might be or become a lien, encumbrance or charge upon the Leased Property or any part thereof or the income therefrom, for work or materials or personal property furnished or supplied to, or claimed to have been supplied to or at the request of Lessee.

 

14.2     If any such lien, encumbrance or charge is created upon the Demised Premises or any part thereof, then in addition to any other right or remedy, Lessor may, upon ten (10) days notice, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by processing the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings. Any amount so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease and shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand. Except as herein provided, nothing contained herein shall in any way empower Lessee to do or suffer any act which can, may or shall cloud or encumber Lessor’s or any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor’s interest in the Demised Premises.

 

ARTICLE 15 - INSPECTION OF PREMISES BY LESSOR

 

15.1     At any time during reasonable business hours, Lessor and/or its authorized representative shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises and inspect the Leased Property; provided that Lessee shall be entitled to reasonable prior notice of any such entry or inspection (which notice may be oral) except in the event of an emergency or in the event Lessee is then in default under this Lease in which case no notice shall be necessary.

 

 

15.2     Lessor agrees that the person or persons entering the Demised Premises and inspecting the Leased Property pursuant to Section 15.1 above will cause as little inconvenience to Lessee as may reasonably be possible under the circumstances.

 

15.3     Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor shall have the right but not the obligation to enter the Demised Premises and inspect the Leased Property to the extent such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor is entitled to do so under the terms of its Mortgage/Underlying Lease.

 

ARTICLE 16 - CONDEMNATION

 

16.1     In the event any entire Facility Property shall be taken or sold under the threat of such taking for any public use by act of any public authority (hereinafter referred to as a “Taking”), then this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Facility Property as of the date of such Taking. Upon such termination, the Base Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to ratio of the actual net award for such Taking received by Lessor to the amount paid by Lessor to acquire the Demised Premises, unless there is only one Facility Property subject to this Lease in which case this Lease will terminate. The termination of this Lease as to any Facility Property due to a Taking is the result of circumstances beyond the control of Lessor and Lessee and the parties hereto affirm that, except for such specific isolated situation, this Lease is intended to be a single indivisible lease. All damages awarded for such Taking under the power of eminent domain shall be the property of Lessor, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee of the Facility Property. Lessee shall be entitled, if provided by law, to pursue and receive a separate award from the condemning authority for loss of Lessee’s interest in the Facility Property, but only if the award to which Lessor would have otherwise been entitled had Lessee not received or participated in such award, is not diminished thereby, directly or indirectly, and, further, in no event shall Lessee be entitled to an apportionment of any condemnation award or settlement which Lessor would have been entitled to receive with respect to such Taking but for the above provision and Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor any and all right, title and interest Lessee may have in any and all such awards or settlements.

 

16.2     In the event of a partial Taking of a Facility Property the result of which shall be a reduction in the number of licensed beds at the Facility Property by fifty percent (50%) or more of the Facility Property licensed capacity existing prior to such Taking, Lessor shall have the option (i)       to terminate this Lease with respect to such Facility Property as of the date of such Taking in which case the Base Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 16.1 of this Lease or (ii) Lessor shall hold in trust that portion, if any, of such award, settlement or compromise which shall be allocable to consequential damage to buildings and improvements not taken, and Lessor shall pay out such portion to Lessee to reimburse Lessee for the cost of restoring the Facility Property as a complete structural unit, as such restoration work progresses in accordance with the procedure for making insurance proceeds available for restoration, repair or rebuilding as set forth in Articles 9 and 11. Lessor shall be entitled to retain any excess portion of such award, settlement or compromise, Lessee shall be entitled, if provided by law, to pursue and receive a separate award from the condemning authority for loss of Lessee’s interest in the Facility Property, but only if the award to which Lessor would have otherwise been entitled had Lessee not received or participated in such award, is not diminished thereby, directly or indirectly, and, further, in no event shall Lessee be entitled to an apportionment of any condemnation award or settlement which Lessor would have been entitled to receive with respect to such Taking but for the above provision and Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor any and all right, title and interest Lessee may have in any and all such awards or settlements. In the event of a partial condemnation, the monthly Base Rent payable under Section 4.1 hereof shall not be reduced.

 

 

ARTICLE 17 - RENT ABSOLUTE

 

17.1     The Leased Property is let and leased to Lessee in an “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition, subject to the rights of any parties in possession thereof and the state of the title thereof as of the date Lessor acquired title from it seller, to any state of facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection thereof might show, and to all zoning regulations, restrictions, rules and ordinances, building restrictions and other laws and regulations now in effect or hereafter adopted by any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover. Lessee has examined the Leased Property and has found the same satisfactory. Lessee acknowledges that the Leased Property is the property of Lessor and that Lessee has the leasehold rights as set forth in the terms and conditions of this Lease.

 

17.2     As a material inducement to Lessor in the making of and entry into this Lease, Lessee hereby expressly agrees as follows:

 

(1)       It is the responsibility of Lessee to be fully acquainted with the nature, in all respects, of the Leased Property, including (but not by way of limitation); the soil and geology thereof, the waters thereof and thereunder; the drainage thereof; the manner of construction and the condition and state of repair and lack of repair of all improvements of every nature; the nature, provisions and effect of all health, fire, zoning, building, subdivision and all other use and occupancy laws, ordinances, and regulations applicable thereto; and the nature and extent of the rights of others with respect thereto, whether by way of reversion, easement, right of way, prescription, adverse possession, profit, servitude, lease, tenancy, lien, encumbrance, license, contract, reservation, condition, right of re-entry, possibility of reverter, sufferance or otherwise. Lessor makes no representation as to, and has no duty to be informed with respect to, any of the matters set forth in the preceding sentence. Lessee hereby accepts the Leased Property as suitable and adequate in all respects for the conduct of the business and the uses of the Leased Property as contemplated under the provisions of this Lease.

 

(2)       Lessee expressly covenants and agrees that it hereby takes this Lease and the leasehold estate hereby established upon and subject to Lessor’s title as it was acquired from its seller, including all rights, rights of way, easements, profits, servitudes, reservations, restrictions, conditions, exceptions, reversions, possibilities of reverter, liens, encumbrances, occupancies, tenancies, licenses, clouds, claims and defects, known and unknown and whether of record or not.

 

(3)       Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights which it might have against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing, including (but not limited to) the requirements of any inspection or examination by Lessee of the Leased Property.

 

17.3     Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and the obligations of Lessee hereunder shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, by reason of: (i) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property or any part thereof or the taking of the Leased Property or any part thereof by condemnation, requisition or otherwise for any reason, (ii) any restriction or prevention of or interference with any use of the Leased Property or any part thereof, including any restriction or interference with or circumstance which prevents the use of the Leased Property as contemplated by Section 8.1, (iii) any frustration of Lessee’s purposes hereunder, (iv) any claim which Lessee has or might have against Lessor, or (v) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.

 

 

17.4     Without limiting the generality of Subsection 17.3 above, Lessee’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent to Lessor under this Lease is a covenant independent of all other covenants made by Lessor and Lessee hereunder and Lessee shall pay all Base Rent and Additional Rent to Lessor without any setoff or deduction.

 

ARTICLE 18 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

18.1     During the Term, Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lessor, assign this Lease or in any manner whatsoever sublet, assign, sell, pledge, encumber or transfer all or any part of the Leased Property or any interest in the Leased Property or enter into any management or other similar agreement pursuant to which a party shall undertake responsibility for the management and operation of the Leased Property or any portion thereof. Further, Lessee shall not cause or permit any sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or encumbrance of any direct or indirect ownership interest or voting rights in Lessee whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and any such act or occurrence shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease, and shall require Lessor’s prior written consent which may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion. Any violation or breach or attempted violation or breach of the provisions of this Article by Lessee, or any acts inconsistent herewith shall vest no right, title or interest herein or hereunder or in the Leased Property, in any such transferee or assignee, and any such violation, breach or attempted violation or breach shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder permitting Lessor to terminate this Lease or to exercise any of its other remedies in accordance with the provisions of Article 21 herein without any right of Lessee to cure the same. Lessor’s consent to any of the foregoing shall not release Lessee from, or otherwise affect, Lessee’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor hereby consents to a sublease the Facilities to Sublessees pursuant to the subleases listed on Schedule 18.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided however, Lessee shall not amend, modify, terminate or assign any such subleases nor cause or permit any sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or encumbrance of any direct or indirect ownership interest or voting rights in any such Sublessee without the prior written consent of Lessor, which may be withheld in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion. The approval by Lessor of such sublease shall not relieve Lessee’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Lease nor shall said approval be considered a waiver of Lessee’s obligation to obtain Lessor’s prior written consent to any further assignment or sublease of the Leased Property as required by this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld to any transfer of the ownership interests in Lessee to employees of Lessee, provided, however, that the majority of ownership interests in Lessee shall be retained by Rich Mason and Shayne Bench such that the Lessee is under the sole and exclusive control of Rich Mason and Shayne Bench.

ARTICLE 21 - LESSOR’S REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

 

21.1     In the event of any Event of Default on the part of Lessee, Lessor may, if it so elects, with or without any demand whatsoever upon Lessee, forthwith either to (i) terminate this Lease and Lessee’s right to possession of the Demised Premises; or (ii) terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Demised Premises without terminating this Lease. Upon any such termination of this Lease, or upon any such termination of Lessee’s right to possession without termination of this Lease, Lessee shall vacate the Demised Premises immediately, and shall quietly and peaceably deliver possession thereof to Lessor, and Lessee hereby grants to Lessor full and free license to enter into and upon the Demised Premises in such event with or without process of law and to repossess the Demised Premises and the related Personal Property as Lessor’s former estate. In the event of any such termination of this Lease, Lessor shall again have possession and enjoyment of the Demised Premises subject to such termination and the related Personal Property to the extent and as if this Lease had not been made, and thereupon the lease of the Demised Premises and everything herein contained on the part of Lessee to be done and performed in connection therewith shall cease and terminate, all, however, without prejudice to and without relinquishing the rights of Lessor to Rent (which, upon such termination of this Lease and entry of Lessor upon the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, shall, in any event, be the right to receive Rent due up to the time of such entry) or any other right given to Lessor hereunder or by operation of law.

 

21.2     In the event Lessor elects either to terminate this Lease or to terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Demised Premises upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, then all licenses, certifications, permits and authorizations issued by any governmental agency, body or authority in connection with or relating to the Facilities shall be deemed as being assigned to Lessor. Lessor shall also have the right to continue to utilize the telephone numbers and names used by Lessee in connection with the operation of the nursing homes located on the Facilities. This Lease shall be deemed and construed as an assignment for purposes of vesting in Lessor all right, title and interest in and to (i) all licenses, certifications, permits and authorizations obtained in connection with the Facilities and (ii) the names and telephone numbers used in connection with the Facilities. Lessee hereby agrees to take such other action and execute such other documents as may be necessary in order to vest in Lessor all right, title and interest to the items specified herein.

 

21.3     If Lessee abandons the Demised Premises or otherwise entitles Lessor so to elect, and Lessor elects, to terminate Lessee’s right to possession only of the Demised Premises without terminating this Lease, Lessor may, at its option, enter into the Demised Premises, remove Lessee’s signs and other evidence of tenancy and take and hold possession thereof as provided in the foregoing Section 21.1 of this Article, without such entry and possession terminating this Lease or releasing Lessee, in whole or in part, from Lessee’s obligation to pay the Rent hereunder for the full remaining Term, and in any such case, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a sum equal to the entire amount of the Rent reserved hereunder and required to be paid by Lessee up to the time of such termination of the right of possession plus any other sums then due hereunder. Upon and after entry into possession without termination of this Lease, Lessor may attempt to relet the Demised Premises for the account of Lessee for such Rent, or shall operate the Facilities for such time and upon such terms as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine. In any such case, Lessor may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Demised Premises, and redecorate the same to the extent deemed by Lessor desirable, and Lessee shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof, together with Lessor’s expenses of reletting. If the consideration collected by Lessor upon any such reletting is not sufficient to pay monthly the full amount of Rent reserved in this Lease, together with the reasonable costs of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating and Lessor’s expenses, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of each monthly deficiency upon demand.

 

21.4     Upon any such termination of this Lease or at any time after such termination of Lessee’s right to possession, Lessor may recover from Lessee and Lessee shall pay to Lessor as liquidated and final damages, whether or not Lessor shall have collected any current monthly deficiencies under the foregoing paragraph, and in lieu of such current deficiencies after the date of demand for such final damages, the amount thereof found to be due by a court of competent jurisdiction, which amount thus found may be equal to:

 

 

(1)       the remainder, if any, of Rent charges due from Lessee for the period up to and including the date of the termination of this Lease or Lessee’s right to possession; and

 

(2)       the amount of any current monthly deficiencies accruing and unpaid by Lessee up to and including the date of Lessor’s demand for final damages hereunder; and

 

(3)       the Rent reserved for what would have been the remainder of the Term with respect to the Demised Premises together with charges to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

 

If any statute or rule governing a proceeding in which such liquidated final damages are to be proved shall validly limit the amount thereof to an amount less than the amount above agreed upon, Lessor shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law.

 

ARTICLE 22 - LIABILITY OF LESSOR

 

22.1     It is expressly agreed by the parties that in no case shall Lessor, any partners, officers, directors, managers, members, agents or employees of Lessor be liable, under any express or implied covenant, agreement or provisions of this Lease, for any damages whatsoever to Lessee beyond the loss of Rent reserved in this Lease, accruing after or upon any act or breach hereunder on the part of Lessor and for which damages may be sought to be recovered against Lessor. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, under no circumstances shall any personal liability attach to or be imposed upon Lessor or any partners, officers, directors, managers, members, agents or employees of Lessor. Lessee’s liability to Lessor for damages for default in payment of Rent or otherwise hereunder shall in all events survive the termination by Lessor of this Lease or the termination by Lessor of Lessee’s right to possession only of the Demised Premises as hereinabove provided.

 

ARTICLE 23 - CUMULATIVE REMEDIES OF LESSOR

 

23.1     The specific remedies to which Lessor may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Lessor may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Lessee of any provision or provisions of this Lease. The failure of Lessor to insist, in any one or more cases, upon the strict performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease, or to exercise any option herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such term, covenant, condition, provisions, agreement or option.

 

 

ARTICLE 24 - SECURITY FOR RENT

 

24.1     Lessor shall have a first lien paramount to all others (except any Mortgage/Underlying Lease made by Lessor) on every right and interest of Lessee in and to this Lease, and on any furnishings, equipment, fixtures, accounts receivable, certificates of need, licenses, provider agreements, certifications, books, records and other property of any kind belonging to Lessee and used in connection with this Lease or located at the Demised Premises. Such lien is granted for the purpose of securing the payments of Rent, charges, penalties, and damages herein covenanted to be paid by Lessee, and for the purpose of securing the performance of all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease. Such lien shall be in addition to all rights to Lessor given and provided by law. This Lease shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code granting Lessor a security interest in any furnishings, equipment, fixtures, accounts receivable certificates of need, licenses, provider agreements, certifications, books, records and other personal property of any kind belonging to Lessee, and Lessee shall execute such other instruments and financing statements as Lessor may request to evidence or perfect said security interest.

 

24.2     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 24.1 of this Lease to the contrary, Lessor hereby agrees that it will subordinate its security interest in the accounts receivable, licenses (only to the extent necessary to collect the accounts receivable and excluding all other underlying bed operating rights), and provider agreements of Lessee to lenders of Lessee which are providing working capital to Lessee in connection with Lessee’s operation of the Facilities (“Lessee’s Accounts Receivable Financing”). Lessor’s consent and subordination to Lessee’s Accounts Receivable Financing shall be further subject to the following conditions precedent: (a) there shall exist no Event of Default under this Lease nor any event or circumstance which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder; and (b) Lessee’s Accounts Receivable Financing shall be from a bona fide third party lender; and (c) Lessee’s Accounts Receivable lender shall execute and deliver to Lessor subordination documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

 

ARTICLE 25 - INDEMNIFICATION

 

25.1     To the extent insurance proceeds do not cover same, Lessee agrees to protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessor and its members, managers, officers, agents, employees and any affiliates of the foregoing (each of the foregoing being, collectively, the “Lessor Parties” and, individually, a “Lessor Party”) from and against any and all claims, demands and causes of action of any nature whatsoever for injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property, occurring at the Demised Premises or any sidewalks, alleyways, passageways, vacant land, streets or parking areas adjoining the Demised Premises, or in any manner growing out of or connected with the use and occupation of the Demised Premises or the condition thereof, or the operation of Lessee’s business on the Demised Premises, or the use of any existing or future sewer system, or the use of any such adjoining sidewalks, alleyways, passageways, vacant land, streets or parking areas during the Term, and Lessee further agrees to pay any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incident to the defense by Lessor of any such claims, demands or causes of action.

 

 

ARTICLE 26 - SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS

 

26.1     This Lease (and Lessee’s interest in the Leased Property) shall be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages, deeds of trust, ground leases or leases now or hereafter in force and affecting the Demised Premises (or any portion thereof) and/or Personal Property, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof (any such mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or lease as it may be renewed, modified, consolidated, replaced and extended is hereinafter referred to as “a Mortgage/Underlying Lease” or “any such Mortgage/Underlying Lease”, and the holder or beneficiary of a Mortgage/Underlying Lease is hereinafter referred to as a “Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor”). Lessee agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such further instruments subordinating this Lease to any such Mortgage/Underlying Lease, or other liens or encumbrances as shall be desired by Lessor; provided, that Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Lessee a nondisturbance agreement from any such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor, in form reasonably satisfactory to such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor. Lessee further agrees that promptly after receipt of a request from any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor made at any time prior to foreclosure of its Mortgage/Underlying Lease, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor any instrument as such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor may reasonably request whereby Lessee agrees to subordinate and attorn to such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor, at such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor’s election, after the foreclosure (or deed in lieu of foreclosure) of its Mortgage/Underlying Lease. Lessee agrees further that any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor shall have the right to subordinate its Mortgage/Underlying Lease and its rights thereunder to this Lease, except that such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor shall be entitled to expressly exclude from such subordination the Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor’s rights, if any, to insurance proceeds and eminent domain awards in the event of a loss or casualty or eminent domain taking of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof. If such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor executes and records an instrument which purports to effect a partial or complete subordination of its Mortgage/Underlying Lease to this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated by a foreclosure of such Mortgage/Underlying Lease, but any rights of such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor to insurance proceeds or eminent domain awards which are expressly excluded from such subordination shall remain superior to the rights of Lessee.

 

ARTICLE 27 - LESSEE’S FAITHFUL

COMPLIANCE WITH MORTGAGE/UNDERLYING LEASE

 

27.1     Anything in this Lease contained to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall at all times and in all respects fully, timely and faithfully comply with and observe each and all of the conditions, covenants, and provisions required on the part of Lessor under any Mortgage/Underlying Lease to which this Lease is subordinate or to which it later may become subordinate, including, without limitation, such conditions, covenants and provisions of such Mortgage/Underlying Lease which relate to the care, maintenance, repair, insurance, restoration, preservation and condemnation of the Demised Premises notwithstanding that such conditions, covenants and provisions may require compliance and observance to a standard or degree in excess of that required by the provisions of this Lease, or may require performance not required by the provisions of this Lease, and shall not do or permit to be done anything which would constitute a breach of or default under any obligation of Lessor under any Mortgage/Underlying Lease, it being the intention hereof that Lessee shall so comply with and observe each and all of such covenants, conditions and provisions of any Mortgage/Underlying Lease so that they will at all times be in good standing and there will not be any default on the part of Lessor under such Mortgage/Underlying Lease. However, nothing in this Article contained shall be construed to obligate Lessee, except as may otherwise be provided in this Lease, to pay any Rent due or part of the principal or interest secured by any Mortgage/Underlying Lease. Lessee further covenants and agrees as follows: (a) if requested by Lessor in writing, Lessee shall give any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor notice of any Lessor default which occurs under this Lease, (b) Lessee shall not terminate this Lease as a result of Lessor’s default, without giving such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor written notice of Lessor’s default under this Lease at the same time that Lessor is given notice of such default, and (c) if Lessor fails to cure such default within the applicable grace period, if any, contained in this Lease, such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor shall have an additional period of time to cure any such default.

 

 

ARTICLE 28 - MORTGAGE/UNDERLYING LEASE RESERVES

 

28.1     Any tax, insurance, or other reserve required during the Term by any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor.

 

ARTICLE 29 - LESSEE’S ATTORNMENT

 

29.1     Lessee covenants and agrees that, if by reason of a default upon the part of Lessor herein in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of any Mortgage/Underlying Lease, and the estate of Lessor thereunder is terminated by summary dispossession proceedings or otherwise, Lessee will attorn to the then Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor or the purchaser in such foreclosure proceedings, as the case may be, and will recognize such Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor or such purchaser as the lessor under this Lease. Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of Lessor or of any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor or the purchaser in foreclosure proceedings, any instrument which may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment. Lessee further waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may terminate this Lease or give or purport to give Lessee any right of election to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Demised Premises in the event any such proceedings are brought against Lessor under such Mortgage/Underlying Lease or by any Mortgagee/Underlying Lessor, and agrees that this Lease shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such proceedings.

 

ARTICLE 30 - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

30.1     Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to Lessor as follows:

 

(a)

Lessee is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing and in good standing and qualified to do business in the State of Florida and Nebraska.

 

(b)

Lessee has full right and power to enter into and perform Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, and has taken all requisite limited liability company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 31 - SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

31.1     On the Commencement Date, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a security deposit in the amount of Nine Hundred Forty Thousand Five Hundred and no/100 ($940,500 .00) (the “Security Deposit”), in the form of one or more absolute, unconditional site draft letters of credit in form in substance acceptable to Lessor, including, without limitation (i) issuance by an “A” rated financial institution, (ii) an initial term of no less than one (1) year, (iii) automatic renewal for additional terms of no less than one (1) year unless the issuing bank sends written notice to Lessor via certified mail of issuing bank’s intent elect not to renew such Letter of Credit, and (iv) transferability by Lessor in connection with any transfer by Lessor of its interest in this Lease (individually and collectively, as the context may require, the “Letter of Credit”), which Letter of Credit Lessor shall hold as security for the full and faithful performance by Lessee of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of this Lease. The Security Deposit may be applied by Lessor for the purpose of curing any default or defaults of Lessee hereunder or as otherwise permitted hereunder, in which event Lessee shall promptly replenish the Security Deposit in full by delivering an additional Letter of Credit in the amount so applied or, if acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion, by promptly paying to Lessor a cash Security Deposit in the amount so applied.

 

 

31.2     If Lessor reasonably determines that the credit rating of the issuer of any Letter of Credit (or its holding company) has been reduced by one or more nationally recognized credit rating agencies to a level lower than such agency’s or agencies’ “A” rating, then at any time thereafter Lessor may give notice of such event to Lessee. Within thirty (30) days of the delivery of such notice by Lessor, Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lessor (a) a replacement Letter of Credit in form and substance consistent with the requirements set forth in Section 31.1 in the amount of any Letter of Credit issued by the affected issuer or (b) if acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion, a cash Security Deposit in the amount of any Letter of Credit issued by the affected issuer.

 

31.3     Lessor shall have the right to draw upon any Letter of Credit provided by Lessee to Lessor at any time from and after (i) a failure by Lessee to deliver to Lessor a cash Security Deposit and/or a replacement Letter of Credit when and if and in the amounts required by Section 31.1 or Section 31.2 of this Lease; or (ii) Lessor’s receipt of a notice of non-renewal from the issuer of the Letter of Credit; or (iii) the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease if any amount remains owing from Lessee under this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee; or (iv) the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee.

 

31.4     None of (a) the dissolution, insolvency or business failure of Lessee, (b) an assignment for the benefit of creditors of Lessee, (c) the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding by or against Lessee, (d) the appointment of a receiver for any property of Lessee or (e) the issuance of a writ of attachment or the enforcement of any order of any court of legal process affecting any property of Lessee shall in any manner affect or impair any Letter of Credit or Lessor’s rights thereunder, or under this Lease. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that (i) each Letter of Credit is a distinct and separate contract between Lessor and the issuer thereof, (ii) each Letter of Credit is not and shall not be deemed or construed to be an asset, property, possession or contract of any kind whatsoever owned or held by Lessee, (iii) any payments received by Lessor pursuant to any Letter of Credit shall not constitute a preferential payment, and (iv) all funds paid by the issuer thereof pursuant to any Letter of Credit are the separate funds of such issuer.

 

31.5     Lessee shall bear all costs and expenses related to maintaining the Letter of Credit, including the fees of the financial institution that issues any Letter of Credit. If at any time the Security Deposit is in the form of cash, Lessee shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit and Lessor may commingle the Security Deposit with its other funds. The Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent (or of any other sum payable by Tenant under this Lease) or a measure of Lessor’s damages in case of a default by Lessee. The Security Deposit shall not be considered a trust fund, and Lessee expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lessor is not acting as a trustee or in any fiduciary capacity in controlling or using the Security Deposit. Lessor shall have no obligation to maintain the Security Deposit separate and apart from Lessor’s general and/or other funds. The Security Deposit, less any portion thereof applied for the purposes of curing any default or defaults of Lessee hereunder, shall be returned to Lessee within one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of the Term.

In addition, within ninety (90) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor Financial Statements covering the period of time from the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year to the date on which the Term expires or terminates, and any such obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

If Lessor or its designee exercises the right described above in this Section 36.4, the provisions of this Section 36.4 shall be self-operative and shall constitute a management agreement between Lessee, on the one hand, and Lessor or its designee, on the other hand, on the terms set forth above in this Section 36.4 provided, however, that upon the request of Lessor or its designee, Lessee shall enter into a separate management agreement on the terms set forth in this Section 36.4 and on such other terms and provisions as may be specified by Lessor or its designee.

Additionally, Lessee, in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, shall make all necessary arrangements to transfer such funds to a bank account designated by Lessor, and Lessor shall in writing acknowledge receipt of and expressly assume all Lessee’s financial and custodial obligations with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will indemnify, defend and hold Lessor and any other Lessor Party 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 Lessor’s bank account as provided above, did not represent the full amount of the funds then or thereafter shown to have been delivered to Lessee 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.

Lessee shall retain full responsibility for the collection thereof. Lessor shall assume responsibility for the billing and collection of payments on account of services rendered by it on and after the Closing Date. In order to facilitate Lessee’s collection efforts, Lessee agrees to deliver to Lessor, within a reasonable time after the Closing Date, a schedule identifying all of those private pay balances owing for the month prior to the Closing Date and Lessor agrees to apply any payments received which are specifically designated as being applicable to services rendered prior to the Closing Date to reduce the pre-Closing Date balances of said patients by promptly remitting said payments to Lessee. All other payments received shall be retained by Lessor as being applicable to services rendered after the Closing Date. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in Lessee’s collection of its preclosing accounts receivable. Lessor shall have no liability for uncollec- tible receivables and shall not be obligated to bear any expense as a result of such activities on behalf of Lessee. Subject to the provisions of Article 24 hereof, Lessor shall remit to Lessee or its assignee those portions of any payments received by Lessor 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 Closing Date.

Said payments shall be the sole responsibility of Lessee and Lessor shall in no way be liable therefor. After the Closing Date, Lessor and Lessee shall each have the right to review supporting books, records and documentation that are in the possession of the other relating to Medicaid or Medicare payments.

 

(2)       If, following the Closing Date, Lessor receives payment from any state or federal agency or third-party provider which represents reimbursement with respect to services provided at the Demised Premises prior to the Closing Date, Lessor agrees that, subject to the provisions of Article 24 hereof, it shall remit such payments to Lessee. Payments by Lessor to Lessee shall be accompanied by a copy of the appropriate remittance.

36.9     Lessee for itself, its successors and assigns hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Lessor and the other Lessor Parties and their respective successors and assigns 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 Lessee in the performance of any of its commitments, covenants or obligations under this Article 36, or with respect to any suits, arbitration proceedings, administrative actions or investigations which relate to the use by Lessee of the Demised Premises during the Term or for any liability which may arise from operation of the Demised Premises as nursing homes during the Term, including without limitation, any amounts due or to be reimbursed to any governmental authority based upon any audit or review of Lessee or of the Facilities or the operation thereof and pertaining to the period prior to the Closing Date or any amounts recaptured under Titles XVIII or XIX based upon applicable Medicaid/Medicare recapture regulations. The rights of Lessor under this paragraph are without prejudice to any other remedies not inconsistent herewith which Lessor may have against Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, whether due to lapse of time or otherwise.

 

 

36.10   So long as the termination of this Lease is not due to a default by Lessee hereunder and provided further that Lessee has performed in accordance with Article 36 herein, Lessor for itself, its successors and assigns hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Lessee 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 Lessor in the performance of any of its commitments, covenants or obligations under this Article 36, or with respect to any suits, arbitration proceedings, administrative actions or investigations which relate to the use of the Demised Premises after the Term or for any liability which may arise from operation of the Demised Premises as nursing homes after the Term. The rights of Lessee under this paragraph are without prejudice to any other remedies not inconsistent herewith which Lessee may have against Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise.

 

36.11   Lessor shall have the right to offset against any monies due Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Article 36, any amounts due by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to this Lease or due by Lessee to any third party, including without limitation any amounts due for taxes, utilities, unemployment insurance premiums, payroll obligations or any other obligation arising from the operation of the Demised Premises.

 

36.12   Anything to the contrary contained in this Article 36 notwithstanding, in the event the termination of this Lease is due to a default by Lessee hereunder, none of the provisions of this Article 36 shall in any way limit, reduce, restrict or modify the rights granted to Lessor pursuant to Articles 21, 23 and 24 of this Lease, and to the extent any monies are due to Lessee pursuant to this Article 36, such sums shall be applied by Lessor to any damages suffered by Lessor as a result of Lessee’s default hereunder.

 

36.13   Lessor and Lessee agree to cooperate with each other in order to effectuate the terms and provisions of this Article 36.

 

ARTICLE 37 – INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

 

ARTICLE 38 - HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

 

38.1     Lessee shall not install or permit to be installed in the Leased Property, any asbestos or asbestos-containing materials, nor install, permit to be installed, generate, transport, store, treat or dispose of, at the Leased Property any asbestos or any substance containing asbestos or hazardous substance (as hereinafter defined). With respect to any hazardous substance or condition, Lessee shall promptly either: (a) remove or remediate any such hazardous substance or condition; or (b) otherwise comply with such federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or orders, in all such events at Lessee’s sole expense, and provide evidence thereof which is satisfactory to Lessor. If Lessee shall fail to so remove or otherwise comply, Lessor may, after notice to Lessee and the expiration of the earlier of (i) the applicable cure period hereunder or (ii) the cure period permitted under the applicable law, rule, regulation or order, either declare this Lease to be in default or do whatever is necessary to remove or remediate said hazardous substance(s) or condition(s) from the Leased Property or otherwise comply with the applicable law, rule, regulation or order, and Lessor’s costs and expenses in respect thereof shall be due and payable upon demand. Lessee shall give to Lessor and its agents and employees access to the Leased Property for purposes of removing or remediating said asbestos or other hazardous substance(s) or condition(s) and conducting appropriate tests for the purpose of ascertaining compliance with the terms hereof. Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor copies of all communications, permits or agreements with any governmental authority or agency (federal, state or local) or any private entity relating in any way to any hazardous substance or condition.

 

 

38.2     For purposes of this Article 38 “hazardous substance” means any material, chemical, compound or other substance defined or regulated as a hazardous toxic or dangerous substance, waste, pollutant or material, or otherwise giving rise to liability, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 52 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq. or any other federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to the protection of public health or safety, the environment or natural resources, including without limitation any common law theory based on nuisance or strict liability (collectively, the “environmental laws”).

 

38.3     Lessee shall not conduct or authorize the generation, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal at the Leased Property of any hazardous substance, without prior written authorization by Lessor, and Lessee’s failure to comply with the foregoing prohibition shall constitute a default under this Lease.

 

38.4     If the presence, release, threat of release or placement on or in the Leased Property, or the generation, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal at the Leased Property of any hazardous substance: (i) gives rise to liability (including, but not limited to, a response action, remedial action or removal action) under any of the environmental laws, (ii) poses a significant threat to public health or safety, or (iii) pollutes or threatens to pollute the environment, then Lessee shall promptly take any and all remedial and removal action necessary to eliminate such liability, threat to public health or safety or pollution, as the case may be, and take all actions to mitigate to the maximum extent possible, liability arising from the hazardous substance, whether or not required by law.

 

38.5     Lessee shall defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor), indemnify the Lessor Parties and hold the Lessor Parties harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims) that any Lessor Party may incur as a result of or in connection with (a) the assertion against any Lessor Party of any claim relating to the presence or removal of any asbestos or other hazardous substance at the Leased Premises, or (b) failure of the Leased Premises on any portion of the Leased Premises to comply with any and all environmental laws, or (c) the breach by Lessee of any of its covenants contained in this Article 38. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease whether due to the lapse of time or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE 39 - LIMITATION OF LESSOR’S LIABILITY

 

39.1     In the event of any conveyance or other divestiture of title to the Leased Property the grantor or the person who is divested of title shall be entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations thereafter accruing hereunder, and the grantee or the person who otherwise succeeds to title shall be deemed to have assumed the covenants and obligations of Lessor thereafter accruing hereunder and shall then be Lessor under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Lease, if Lessor or any successor in interest of Lessor shall be an individual, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust, tenant in common or mortgagee, there shall be absolutely no personal, corporate or entity liability on the part of such Lessor or any individual or member of Lessor or any manager, stockholder, director, officer, employee, partner or trustee of Lessor with respect to the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, and Lessee shall look solely to the interest of Lessor in the Leased Property for the satisfaction of each and every remedy which Lessee may have for the breach of this Lease; such exculpation from personal, corporate or entity liability to be absolute and without any exception, whatsoever.
