The parties agree that the existence of more than one Landlord under this Lease does not affect the indivisible, non-severable nature of this Lease. The parties may amend this Lease from time to time to include or remove one or more Facility Properties as part of the Leased Property and such future addition to or removal of a portion of the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible and non-severable nature of this Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force. 1.3 Term.

Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all Impositions that may be levied or become a lien on the Leased Property or any part thereof at any time (whether prior to or during the Term), without regard to prior ownership of said Leased Property, before any fine, penalty, interest, or cost is incurred; provided, however, Tenant may contest any Imposition in accordance with Section 3.7.

Tenant's obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof. Tenant, at its expense, shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by governmental authorities. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund due from any taxing authority if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing and if Tenant shall have paid all Impositions due and payable prior to any penalty period as of the date of the refund. Landlord shall be entitled to any refund from any taxing authority if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

In the event governmental authorities classify any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Tenant will be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the -17- reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest. Tenant may, upon notice to Landlord, at Tenant's option and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Tenant may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments and Landlord, at Tenant's expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Tenant in such protest, appeal, or other action. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all personal property taxes paid by Landlord within 30 days after receipt of billings accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are made. Impositions imposed in respect to the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Tenant's obligation to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such termination. 3.2 Definition of Impositions.

Tenant, on demand, shall pay to Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this section.

Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord any additional amount needed to pay such utilities. Landlord's receipt of such payments shall only be an -19- accommodation to Tenant and the utility companies and shall not constitute rent or income to Landlord.

Landlord will not be liable for damages to person or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business for any discontinuance of utilities nor will such discontinuance in any way be construed as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease unless Tenant had deposited funds with Landlord to pay the utilities pursuant to Section 3.4 and Landlord fails to pay. 3.6 Business Expenses. Tenant shall promptly pay all expenses and costs incurred in connection with the operation of the Facility on the Leased Property, including, without limitation, employee benefits, employee vacation and sick pay, consulting fees, and expenses for inventory and supplies. 3.7 Permitted Contests.

Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall execute and deliver to Tenant such authorizations and other documents as may be reasonably required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so desires, Landlord shall join as a party therein.

If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord, its employees, or agents by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, will defend the claim at Tenant's expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. All amounts payable to Landlord under this section shall be payable on written demand and any such amounts which are not paid within 10 days after demand therefor by Landlord shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate.

Such notice shall be given in sufficient time to allow Tenant to defend or participate in such claim or action, but the failure to give such notice as soon as practicable but in any event in sufficient time shall not constitute a defense hereunder nor in any way impair the obligations of Tenant under this section unless the failure to give such notice precludes Tenant's defense of any such action. 5.1.2 Survival of Covenants. The covenants of Tenant contained in this section shall remain in full force and effect after the termination of this Lease until the expiration of the period stated in the applicable statute of limitations during which a claim or cause of action may be brought and payment in full or the satisfaction of such claim or cause of action and of all expenses and charges incurred by Landlord relating to the enforcement of the provisions herein specified. 5.1.3 Reimbursement of Expenses.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease or any Lease Document, and at any time thereafter until Landlord waives the default in writing or acknowledges cure of the default in writing, at Landlord's option, without declaration, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of default, notice to quit or any other notice or demand of any kind, Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies provided in this Lease or any Lease Document, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following remedies: (a) Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property or any portion thereof without terminating - 34 - this Lease, and lease such Leased Property for the account of Tenant, holding Tenant liable for all costs of Landlord in reletting such Leased Property and for the difference in the amount received by such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease. (b) Landlord may terminate this Lease with respect to all or any portion of the Leased Property, exclude Tenant from possession of such Leased Property and use efforts to lease such Leased Property to others, holding Tenant liable for the difference in the amounts received from such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease. (c) Landlord may re-enter the Leased Property or any portion thereof and have, repossess and enjoy such Leased Property as if this Lease had not been made, and in such event, Tenant and its successors and assigns shall remain liable for any contingent or unliquidated obligations or sums owing at the time of such repossession. (d) Landlord may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the books and records and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other returns of Tenant insofar as they pertain to the Leased Property. (e) Landlord may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent hereunder so that the aggregate Rent for the unexpired term of this Lease becomes immediately due and payable, subject to Landlord's obligations under law to leave Tenant in possession of the Leased Property. (f) Landlord may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Rent and other amounts payable under this Lease then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligations, agreements or covenants of Tenant under this Lease. (g) With respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof and Secured Parties' security interest therein, Secured Parties may exercise all of their rights as secured parties under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State. Secured Parties may sell the Collateral by public or private sale upon five days notice to Tenant or Manager. Tenant and Manager agree that a commercially reasonable manner of disposition of the Collateral shall include, without limitation and at the option of Secured - 35 - Parties, a sale of the Collateral, in whole or in part, concurrently with the sale of the Leased Property. (h) Secured Parties may obtain control over and collect the Receivables and apply the proceeds of the collections to satisfaction of the BCC Obligations unless prohibited by law. Tenant and Manager appoint HCRI or its designee as attorney for Tenant and Manager with powers [i] to receive, to endorse, to sign and/or to deliver, in Tenant's or Manager's name or Secured Parties' name, any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and to waive demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, and any other notice with respect to any such instrument; [ii] to sign Tenant's or Manager's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Receivable, drafts against account debtors, assignments and verifications of Receivables, and notices to account debtors; [iii] to send verifications of Receivables to any account debtor; and [iv] to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Lease. Except for willful acts or omissions, Secured Parties shall not be liable for any omissions, commissions, errors of judgment, or mistakes in fact or law made in the exercise of any such powers. At Secured Parties' option, Tenant and Manager shall [i] provide Secured Parties a full accounting of all amounts received on account of Receivables with such frequency and in such form as Secured Parties may require, either with or without applying all collections on Receivables in payment of the BCC Obligations or [ii] deliver to Secured Parties on the day of receipt all such collections in the form received and duly endorsed by Tenant or Manager, as applicable. At Secured Parties' request, Tenant and Manager shall institute any action or enter into any settlement determined by Secured Parties to be necessary to obtain recovery or redress from any account debtor in default of Receivables. Secured Parties may give notice of their security interest in the Receivables to any or all account debtors with instructions to make all payments on Receivables directly to Secured Parties, thereby terminating Tenant's and Manager's authority to collect Receivables. After terminating Tenant's and Manager's authority to enforce or collect Receivables, Secured Parties shall have the right to take possession of any or all Receivables and records thereof and are hereby authorized to do so, and only Secured Parties shall have the right to collect and enforce the Receivables. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Tenant's and Manager's cost and expense, but on behalf of Secured Parties and for Secured Parties' account, Tenant and Manager shall collect or otherwise enforce all amounts unpaid on Receivables and hold all such collections in trust for Secured - 36 - Parties, but Tenant and Manager may commingle such collections with Tenant's and Manager's own funds, until Tenant's and Manager's authority to do so has been terminated, which may be done only after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Secured Parties do not assume any of Tenant's or Manager's obligations under any Receivable, and Secured Parties shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of any of the terms and conditions thereof by Tenant or Manager. (i) Without waiving any prior or subsequent Event of Default, Landlord may waive any Event of Default or, with or without waiving any Event of Default, remedy any default. (j) Landlord may terminate its obligation, if any, to disburse Lease Advances. (k) Landlord may enter and take possession of the Land or any portion thereof and any one or more Facilities without terminating the Lease and complete construction and renovation of the Improvements (or any part thereof) and perform the obligations of Tenant under the Lease Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant hereby appoints Landlord its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to do any of the following: [i] complete construction, renovation and equipping of the Improvements in the name of Tenant; [ii] use unadvanced funds remaining under the Lease Amount, or funds that may be reserved, escrowed, or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the Lease Amount, to complete the Improvements; [iii] make changes in the plans and specifications that shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in substantially the manner contemplated by the plans and specifications; [iv] retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; [v] 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 Facility or security interest against fixtures or equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction and equipping of the Improvements or for the clearance of title; [vi] execute all applications and certificates, in the name of Tenant, that may be required in connection with any construction; [vii] do any and every act that Tenant might do in its own behalf, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements; and [viii] to execute, deliver and file all applications and other documents and take any and all - 37 - actions necessary to transfer the operations of the Facility to Landlord or Landlord's designee. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. (l) Landlord may apply, with or without notice to Tenant, for the appointment of a receiver ("Receiver") for Tenant or Tenant's business or for the Leased Property. Unless prohibited by law, such appointment may be made either before or after termination of Tenant's possession of the Leased Property, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Tenant at the time of application for such Receiver and without regard to the then value of the Leased Property, and Landlord may be appointed as Receiver. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to appointment of a receiver as a matter of right and without the need to make any showing other than the existence of an Event of Default. The Receiver shall have the power to collect the rents, income, profits and Receivables of the Leased Property during the pendency of the receivership and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Leased Property during the whole of said proceeding. All sums of money received by the Receiver from such rents and income, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement thereof, shall be applied to the payment of the Rent or any other monetary obligation of Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, any losses or damages incurred by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant, if requested to do so, will consent to the appointment of any such Receiver as aforesaid. (m) Landlord may terminate any management agreement with respect to any of the Leased Property and shall have the right to retain one or more managers for the Leased Property, such manager(s) to serve for such term and at such compensation as Landlord reasonably determines is necessary under the circumstances. 8.3 Right of Set-Off. Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant to, at any time and from time to time without advance notice to Tenant (any such notice being expressly waived by Tenant), set-off or recoup and apply any and all sums held by Landlord, any indebtedness of Landlord to Tenant, and any claims by Tenant against Landlord, against any obligations of Tenant hereunder and against any claims by Landlord against Tenant, whether or not such obligations or claims of Tenant are matured and whether or not Landlord has exercised any other remedies hereunder. The rights of Landlord - 38 - under this section are in addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have against Tenant. 8.4 Performance of Tenant's Covenants. Landlord may perform any obligation of Tenant which Tenant has failed to perform within five days after Landlord has sent a written notice to Tenant informing it of its specific failure. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional Rent, for any expenditures thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at the Overdue Rate (as defined in Section 8.6). 8.5 Late Payment Charge. Tenant acknowledges that any default in the payment of any installment of Rent payable hereunder will result in loss and additional expense to Landlord in servicing any indebtedness of Landlord secured by the Leased Property, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations, and because such loss and additional expense is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, Tenant agrees that in the event any Rent payable to Landlord hereunder is not paid within 10 days after the due date, Tenant shall pay a late charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue payment as a reasonable estimate of such loss and expenses, unless applicable law requires a lesser charge, in which event the maximum rate permitted by such law may be charged by Landlord. The 10-day grace period set forth in this section shall not extend the time for payment of Rent or the period for curing any default or constitute a waiver of such default. 8.6 Interest. In addition to the late payment charge, any payment not made by Tenant within 10 days after the due date shall thereafter bear interest at the rate (the "Overdue Rate") of the greater of [i] 18.5% per annum; or [ii] 2.5% per annum above the Lease Rate then in effect; provided, however, that at no time will Tenant be required to pay interest at a rate higher than the maximum legal rate and, provided further, that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any other charges payable under this Lease are deemed to be interest, the Overdue Rate shall be adjusted to ensure that the aggregate interest payable under this Lease does not accrue at a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate. Tenant shall not be required to pay interest upon any late payment fees assessed pursuant to Section 8.5. 8.7 Attorneys' Fees. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord's rights under this Lease, whether or not an Event of Default has actually occurred or has been declared and - 39 - thereafter cured, including, without limitation, [i] the reasonable fees, expenses, and costs of any litigation, appellate, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding; [ii] reasonable attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and disbursements, whether in-house counsel or outside counsel; and [iii] the reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, lodging, meals, and transportation, of Landlord and its employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses in preparing for litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in connection therewith. All such reasonable costs, expenses, charges and fees payable by Tenant shall be deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease. 8.8 Escrows and Application of Payments. As security for the performance of the BCC Obligations, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title, and interest in and to all monies escrowed with Landlord under this Lease and all deposits with utility companies, taxing authorities and insurance companies; provided, however, that Landlord shall not exercise its rights hereunder until an Event of Default has occurred. Any payments received by Landlord under any provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied to the BCC Obligations in the order which Landlord may determine. 8.9 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, the remedies of Landlord herein are cumulative to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity. The use of any one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to use any other remedy. 8.10 Waivers. Tenant waives [i] any notice required by statute or other law as a condition to bringing an action for possession of, or eviction from, any of the Leased Property, [ii] any right of re-entry or repossession, [iii] any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease, [iv] any objections, defenses, claims or rights with respect to the exercise by Landlord of any rights or remedies, [v] any right of redemption whether pursuant to statute, at law or in equity, [vi] all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protest, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices to quit and any other notice or demand of any kind, and [vii] all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of any obligation or advance under this Lease before or after this date. - 40 - ARTICLE 9: DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION 9.1 Notice of Casualty. If the Leased Property shall be destroyed, in whole or in part, or damaged by fire, flood, windstorm or other casualty in excess of $100,000.00 (a "Casualty"), Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within one Business Day after the occurrence of the Casualty. Within 15 days after the occurrence of the Casualty or as soon thereafter as such information is reasonably available to Tenant, Tenant shall provide the following information to Landlord: [i] the date of the Casualty; [ii] the nature of the Casualty; [iii] a description of the damage or destruction caused by the Casualty, including the type of Leased Property damaged and the area of the Improvements damaged; [iv] a preliminary estimate of the cost to repair, rebuild, restore or replace the Leased Property; [v] a preliminary estimate of the schedule to complete the repair, rebuilding, restoration or replacement of the Leased Property; [vi] a description of the anticipated property insurance claim, including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date; and [vii] a description of the business interruption claim, including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date. Within five days after request from Landlord, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all correspondence to the insurer and any other information reasonably requested by Landlord. 9.2 Substantial Destruction. 9.2.1 If any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed at any time other than during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant shall promptly rebuild and restore such Improvements in accordance with Section 9.4 and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such restoration. The term "substantially destroyed" means any casualty resulting in the loss of use of 50% or more of the licensed beds at any one Facility. 9.2.2 If any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Leased Property and retain the insurance proceeds unless Tenant exercises its option to renew as set forth in Section 9.2.3 or exercises its option - 41 - to purchase as set forth in Section 9.2.4. If Landlord elects to terminate, Landlord shall give notice ("Termination Notice") of its election to terminate this Lease within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice of the damage. If Tenant does not exercise its option to renew under Section 9.2.3 or its option to purchase under Section 9.2.4 within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice, this Lease shall terminate on the 15th day after delivery of the Termination Notice. If this Lease is so terminated, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other obligations accrued under this Lease through the effective date of termination. 9.2.3 If any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or the first or second Renewal Term and Landlord gives the Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease with respect to the entire Leased Property (but not any part thereof). Tenant shall give Landlord irrevocable notice of Tenant's election to renew within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice. If Tenant elects to renew, the Renewal Term will be in effect for the balance of the then current Term plus a 5-year period. The Renewal Term will commence on the third day following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of renewal. All other terms of this Lease for the Renewal Term shall be in accordance with Article 12. The Improvements will be restored by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 regarding partial destruction. 9.2.4 If any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and Landlord gives the Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to purchase the entire Leased Property (but not any part thereof). Tenant shall give Landlord notice of Tenant's election to purchase within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice. If Tenant elects to purchase the Leased Property, the Option Price will be determined in accordance with Section 13.2 and the Fair Market Value will be determined in accordance with Section 13.3 except as otherwise provided in this section. For purposes of determining the Fair Market Value, the Leased Property will be valued as if it had been restored to be equal in value to the Leased Property existing immediately prior to the occurrence of the damage. All other terms of the option to purchase shall be in accordance with Article 13. Landlord shall hold the insurance proceeds until the closing of the purchase of the Leased Property and at closing shall deliver the proceeds to Tenant. - 42 - 9.3 Partial Destruction. If any Facility's Improvements are not substantially destroyed, then Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Section 9.4 and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such restoration. 9.4 Restoration. Tenant shall promptly repair, rebuild, or restore the damaged Leased Property, at Tenant's expense, so as to make the Leased Property at least equal in value to the Leased Property existing immediately prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar to it in character as is practicable and reasonable. Before beginning such repairs or rebuilding, or letting any contracts in connection with such repairs or rebuilding, Tenant will submit for Landlord's approval, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay, plans and specifications meeting the requirements of Section 16.2 for such repairs or rebuilding. Promptly after receiving Landlord's approval of the plans and specifications and receiving the proceeds of insurance, Tenant will begin such repairs or rebuilding and will prosecute the repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however, to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, and other causes beyond Tenant's reasonable control. Landlord will make available to Tenant the net proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance paid to Landlord for such repair or rebuilding as the same progresses, after deduction of any costs of collection, including attorneys' fees. Payments will be made against properly certified vouchers of a competent architect in charge of the work and approved by Landlord. Payments for deposits for the repairing or rebuilding or delivery of materials to the Facility will be made upon Landlord's receipt of evidence satisfactory to Landlord that such payments are required in advance. Prior to commencing the repairing or rebuilding, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord's approval a schedule setting forth the estimated monthly draws for such work. Landlord will contribute to such payments out of the insurance proceeds an amount equal to the proportion that the total net amount received by Landlord from insurers bears to the total estimated cost of the rebuilding or repairing, multiplied by the payment by Tenant on account of such work. Landlord may, however, withhold 10% from each payment until the work is completed and proof has been furnished to Landlord that no lien or liability has attached or will attach to the Leased Property or to Landlord in connection with such repairing or rebuilding. Upon the completion of rebuilding and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of the net proceeds of such insurance payable to Tenant on account of such repairing or rebuilding will be paid to Tenant. Tenant will - 43 - obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary or final certificate of occupancy before the damaged Leased Property is reoccupied for any purpose. Tenant shall complete such repairs or rebuilding free and clear of mechanic's or other liens, and in accordance with the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, or orders of any state, municipal, or other public authority affecting the repairs or rebuilding, and also in accordance with all requirements of the insurance rating organization, or similar body. Any remaining proceeds of insurance after such restoration will be Tenant's property. 9.5 Insufficient Proceeds. If the proceeds of any insurance settlement are not sufficient to pay the costs of Tenant's repair, rebuilding or restoration under Section 9.4 in full, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord at Landlord's option, and within 10 days of Landlord's request, an amount sufficient in Landlord's reasonable judgment to complete such repair, rebuilding or restoration. Tenant shall not, by reason of the deposit or payment, be entitled to any reimbursement from Landlord or diminution in or postponement of the payment of the Rent. 9.6 Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds paid to Landlord as herein provided shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 9. Tenant expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment or value, of the Leased Property from any casualty whatsoever, whether or not insurable or insured against. 9.7 Landlord's Inspection. During the progress of such repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers may, from time to time, inspect the Leased Property and will be furnished, if required by them, with copies of all plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating to such repairs or rebuilding. Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and specifications at the building, and Landlord and its architects and engineers may examine them at all reasonable times. If, during such repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers determine that the repairs or rebuilding are not being done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, Landlord will give prompt notice in writing to Tenant, specifying in detail the particular deficiency, omission, or other respect in which Landlord claims such repairs or rebuilding do not accord with the approved plans and specifications. Upon the receipt of any such notice, Tenant will cause corrections to be made to any deficiencies, - 44 - omissions, or such other respect. Tenant's obligations to supply insurance, according to Article 4, will be applicable to any repairs or rebuilding under this section. 9.8 Landlord's Costs. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, pay the reasonable costs, expenses, and fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord to review any plans and specifications and to supervise and approve any construction, or for any services rendered by such architect or engineer to Landlord as contemplated by any of the provisions of this Lease, or for any services performed by Landlord's attorneys in connection therewith. 9.9 No Rent Abatement. Rent will not abate pending the repairs or rebuilding of the Leased Property, but shall not be offset against any rental insurance proceeds received by Landlord. ARTICLE 10: CONDEMNATION 10.1 Total Taking. If, by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right ("Taking"), any entire Facility Property is taken, or so much of any Facility Property is taken that the Facility Property cannot be used by Tenant for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then this Lease will end with respect to such Facility Property only on the earlier of the vesting of title to the Facility Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of the Facility Property by the condemning authority. Upon such termination, the Lease Amount shall be reduced by the Allocated Lease Amount for such Facility Property and Rent hereunder shall be reduced accordingly unless there is only one Facility Property subject to this Lease in which case the Lease will terminate. All damages awarded for such Taking under the power of eminent domain shall be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee of the Facility Property. 10.2 Partial Taking. If, after a Taking, so much of a Facility Property remains that the Facility Property can be used for substantially the same purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then [i] this Lease will end as to the part taken on the earlier of the vesting of title to such Leased Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of such Leased Property by the condemning authority and the Rent will be adjusted accordingly; [ii] at its cost, - 45 - Tenant shall restore so much of the Facility Property as remains to a sound architectural unit substantially suitable for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, using good workmanship and new, first-class materials; [iii] upon completion of the restoration, Landlord will pay Tenant the lesser of the net award made to Landlord on the account of the Taking (after deducting from the total award, attorneys', appraisers', and other fees and costs incurred in connection with the obtaining of the award and amounts paid to the holders of mortgages secured by the Facility Property), or Tenant's actual out-of-pocket costs of restoring the Facility Property; and [iv] Landlord shall be entitled to the balance of the net award and the Lease Amount shall be reduced by the amount retained by Landlord. The restoration shall be completed in accordance with Sections 9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9 with such provisions deemed to apply to condemnation instead of casualty. 10.3 Condemnation Proceeds Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the condemnation award paid to Landlord shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 10. Tenant expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment, or value, of the Leased Property from any Condemnation. ARTICLE 11: TENANT'S PROPERTY 11.1 Tenant's Property. Tenant shall install, place, and use on the Leased Property such fixtures, furniture, equipment, inventory and other personal property in addition to Landlord's Personal Property as may be required or as Tenant may, from time to time, deem necessary or useful to operate the Leased Property for its permitted purposes. All fixtures, furniture, equipment, inventory, and other personal property installed, placed, or used on the Leased Property which is owned by Tenant or leased by Tenant from third parties is hereinafter referred to as "Tenant's Property." Those items of Tenant's Property that were or are acquired as parts of the initial equipping of the Facility shall be called the "Start-Up Property". 11.2 Requirements for Tenant's Property. Tenant shall comply with all of the following requirements in connection with Tenant's Property: (a) Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain, repair, and replace Tenant's Property. - 46 - (b) Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep Tenant's Property insured against loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, earthquake (if any part of the Leased Property is in earthquake zone 1 or 2), and other physical loss perils commonly covered by fire and extended coverage, boiler and machinery, and difference in conditions insurance in an amount not less than 90% of the then full replacement cost thereof. Tenant shall use the proceeds from any such policy for the repair and replacement of Tenant's Property. The insurance shall meet the requirements of Section 4.3. (c) Tenant shall pay all taxes applicable to Tenant's Property. (d) If Tenant's Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, Tenant shall promptly repair or replace Tenant's Property unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 9.2.2. (e) Unless an Event of Default or any event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred, Tenant may remove Tenant's Property from the Leased Property from time to time provided that [i] the items removed are not required to operate the Leased Property for the Facility Uses (unless such items are being replaced by Tenant); and [ii] Tenant repairs any damage to the Leased Property resulting from the removal of Tenant's Property. (f) Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord or as otherwise provided in this Lease, remove any Tenant's Property or Leased Property. Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, remove Tenant's Property upon the termination or expiration of this Lease and shall repair any damage to the Leased Property resulting from the removal of Tenant's Property. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant's Property within 30 days after request by Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned Tenant's Property, Tenant's Property shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may remove, store and dispose of Tenant's Property. In such event, Tenant shall have no claim or right against Landlord for such property or the value thereof regardless of the disposition thereof by Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, all expenses incurred by Landlord in removing, storing, and disposing of Tenant's Property and repairing any damage caused by such removal. Tenant's obligations hereunder shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease. - 47 - (g) Tenant shall perform its obligations under any equipment lease or security agreement for Tenant's Property. For equipment loans or leases for equipment having an original cost in excess of $75,000.00, and for equipment constituting any part of the Start-Up Property, Tenant shall cause such equipment lessor or lender to enter into a non-disturbance agreement with Landlord upon terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord, including, without limitation, the following: [i] Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume such equipment lease or security agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder; [ii] such equipment lessor or lender shall notify Landlord of any default by Tenant under the equipment lease or security agreement and give Landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure such default; and [iii] Landlord shall have the right to assign its interest in the equipment lease or security agreement and non-disturbance agreement. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in reviewing and approving the equipment lease, security agreement and non-disturbance agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. ARTICLE 12: RENEWAL OPTIONS 12.1 Renewal Options. Tenant has the option to renew ("Renewal Option") this Lease for 3 five-year renewal terms (each a "Renewal Term"). Tenant can exercise the Renewal Option only upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) There shall be no uncured Event of Default, or any event which with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, at the time Tenant exercises its Renewal Option nor on the date the Renewal Term is to commence. (b) Tenant shall give Landlord irrevocable written notice of renewal no later than the date which is [i] 90 days prior to the expiration date of the then current Term; or [ii] 15 days after Landlord's delivery of the Termination Notice as set forth in Section 9.2.3. 12.2 Effect of Renewal. The following terms and conditions will be applicable if Tenant renews the Lease: (a) Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2.3, the effective date of any Renewal Term will be the first day after the expiration date of the then current - 48 - Term. The first day of each Renewal Term is also referred to as the Renewal Date. (b) Lease Amount. Effective as of the Renewal Date, a single Lease Amount will be computed by summing all Lease Advance Amounts. (c) Lease Rate. Effective as of the Renewal Date, a single Lease Rate will be computed equal to the Renewal Rate. The Renewal Rate for each Renewal Term shall be greater of [i] the sum of [a] the Lease Rate in effect during the then current Lease Year plus [b] the Increaser Rate, or [ii] the fair market rental lease rate for the Facility as determined according to the provisions of this section. Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to determine the fair market rental lease rate for the Facility by mutual agreement 90 days prior to the expiration date for the then current Term. If the parties do not agree on such lease rate within a 15 day period, appraisers shall be chosen as provided in Section 13.3.2 to determine the fair market rental lease rate. The appraisers shall be instructed to appraise the fair market value lease rate as an operating lease rate for a health care facility of the same type as the Facility and shall take into account the lease rate then being charged by Landlord to tenants of comparable creditworthiness for comparable facilities. The appraised rates submitted by the three appraisers shall be ranked from highest to lowest, the rate (highest or lowest) which is furthest from the middle rate shall be discarded, and the remaining two appraised rates shall be averaged to arrive at the fair market rental lease rate. (d) Base Rent. Effective as of the Renewal Date, Landlord shall calculate Base Rent for the Renewal Term based upon the Renewal Rate and shall issue a new Rent Schedule reflecting the Base Rent increase. Until Tenant receives a revised Rent Schedule from Landlord, Tenant shall for each month [i] continue to make installments of Base Rent according to the Rent Schedule in effect on the day before the Renewal Date; and [ii] within 10 days following Landlord's issuance of an invoice, pay the difference between the installment of Base Rent paid to Landlord for such month and the installment of Base Rent actually due for such month as a result of the renewal of the Lease. (e) Other Terms and Conditions. Except for the modifications set forth in this Section 12.2, all other terms and conditions of the Lease will remain the same for the Renewal Term. The Lease Rate and Base Rent will increase annually as set forth in Section 2.2. - 49 - 12.3 Effect of Non-Renewal or Expiration of Lease. The following terms and conditions will be applicable if Tenant does not renew this Lease or exercise its Option to Purchase by the expiration date for the then current Term: (a) Extension of Current Term. The current Term will be extended (the "Extended Term") for 120 days; provided, however, that the Extended Term will expire on such earlier date of the closing of the sale pursuant to the Option to Purchase. (b) Lease Payments. During the Extended Term, Tenant shall continue to make monthly payments of Rent (including Base Rent) based upon the then existing Lease Rate. ARTICLE 13: OPTION TO PURCHASE 13.1 Option to Purchase. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to purchase ("Option to Purchase") all of the Leased Property (but not any part thereof) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 13. Tenant may exercise its Option to Purchase only by giving an irrevocable notice of Tenant's election to purchase the Leased Property ("Purchase Notice") in accordance with the following: (a) During the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant must give a Purchase Notice no earlier than the date which is 180 days, and no later than the date which is 90 days, prior to the expiration date of the then current Term of this Lease. (b) If any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant must give a Purchase Notice within 15 days after Landlord gives the Termination Notice pursuant to Section 9.2.4. (c) If any Facility Property is taken during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right, Tenant must give a Purchase Notice within 30 days after delivery of the notice of Landlord's intent to terminate pursuant to Section 10.1.1. Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Option to Purchase other than in accordance with subparagraphs (a) - (c). 13.2 Option Price. The option price ("Option Price") will be an amount equal to the greater of [i] the Lease Amount; - 50 - or [ii] the Fair Market Value at the time of the option exercise. In addition to the Option Price, Tenant shall pay all closing costs and expenses in connection with the transfer of the Leased Property to Tenant, including, but not limited to, the following: [a] real property conveyance or transfer fees or deed stamps; [b] title search fees, title insurance commitment fees, and title insurance premiums; [c] survey fees; [d] environmental assessment fees; [e] recording fees; [f] attorneys' fees of Landlord's counsel; [g] fees of any escrow agent; and [h] all amounts, costs, expenses, charges, Additional Rent and other items payable by Tenant to Landlord, including, but not limited to, enforcement costs as set forth in Section 8.7. 13.3 Fair Market Value. The fair market value (the "Fair Market Value") of the Leased Property shall be determined as follows. 13.3.1 The parties shall attempt to determine the Fair Market Value by mutual agreement within 15 days after giving the Purchase Notice. However, if the parties do not agree on the Fair Market Value within such 15-day period, the following provisions shall apply. 13.3.2 Landlord and Tenant shall each give the other party notice of the name of an acceptable appraiser 15 days after giving of the Purchase Notice. The two appraisers will then select a third appraiser within an additional five days. Each appraiser must demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of both Landlord and Tenant that it has significant experience in appraising properties similar to the Leased Property. Within five days after designation, each appraiser shall submit a resume to Landlord and Tenant setting forth such appraiser's qualifications, including education and experience with similar properties. A notice of objections to the qualifications of any appraiser shall be given within 10 days after receipt of such resume. If a party fails to timely object to the qualifications of an appraiser, then the appraiser shall be conclusively deemed satisfactory. If a party gives a timely notice of objection to the qualifications of an appraiser, then the disqualified appraiser shall be replaced by an appraiser selected by the qualified appraisers or, if all appraisers are disqualified, then by an appraiser selected by a commercial arbitrator acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. 13.3.3 The Fair Market Value shall be determined by the appraisers within 45 days after the selection of the appraisers as follows. Each of the appraisers shall be - 51 - instructed to prepare an appraisal of the Leased Property in accordance with the following instructions: The Leased Property is to be valued upon the three conventional approaches to estimate value known as the Income, Sales Comparison and Cost Approaches. Once the approaches are completed, the appraiser correlates the individual approaches into a final value conclusion. The three approaches to estimate value are summarized as follows: Income Approach: This valuation approach recognizes that the value of the operating tangible and intangible assets can be represented by the expected economic viability of the business giving returns on and of the assets. Sales Comparison Approach: This valuation approach is based upon the principle of substitution. When a facility is replaceable in the market, the market approach assumes that value tends to be set at the price of acquiring an equally desirable substitute facility. Since healthcare market conditions change and frequently are subject to regulatory and financing environments, adjustments need to be considered. These adjustments also consider the operating differences such as services and demographics. Cost Approach: This valuation approach estimates the value of the tangible assets only. Value is represented by the market value of the land plus the depreciated reproduction cost of all improvements and equipment. In general, the Income and Sales Comparison Approaches are considered the best representation of value because they cover both tangibles and intangible assets, consider the operating characteristics of the business and have the most significant influence on attracting potential investors. - 52 - The appraised values submitted by the three appraisers shall be ranked from highest value to middle value to lowest value, the appraised value (highest or lowest) which is furthest from the middle appraised value shall be discarded, and the remaining two appraised values shall be averaged to arrive at the Fair Market Value. 13.3.4 In the event of any condemnation, similar taking or threat thereof with respect to any part of the Leased Property or any insured or partially insured casualty loss to any part of the Leased Property after Tenant has exercised an Option to Purchase, but before settlement, the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property shall be redetermined as provided in this Section 13.3 to give effect to such condemnation, taking or loss and shall take into account all available condemnation awards and insurance proceeds. 13.3.5 Tenant shall pay, or reimburse Landlord for, all costs and expenses in connection with the appraisals. 13.4 Closing. When the Option to Purchase is exercised during the Early Option Periods, the Purchase of the Leased Property shall close on a date agreed to by Landlord and Tenant which shall be not less than 60 days after Landlord's receipt of the Purchase Notice provided, however, that Landlord may extend the 60 days up to 90 days if additional time is needed to facilitate investment of the sale proceeds. If the Option to Purchase is not exercised during the Early Option Periods, the purchase of the Leased Property by Tenant shall close on a date agreed to by Landlord and Tenant which shall be not less than 60 days after Landlord's receipt of the Purchase Notice and not more than 75 days after the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property has been determined. At the closing, Tenant shall pay the Option Price and all reasonable closing costs in immediately available funds and Landlord shall convey title to the Leased Property to Tenant by a transferable and recordable special warranty deed and special warranty bill of sale. 13.5 Failure to Close Option. If Tenant for any reason fails to purchase the Leased Property after Tenant has given the Purchase Notice, then Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of the failure to close. Tenant shall continue to be obligated as lessee hereunder for the remainder of the Term (including the Extended Term as set forth in Section 12.3). 13.6 Failure to Exercise Option to Purchase and Renewal Option. If Tenant for any reason does not exercise its - 53 - Option to Purchase or Renewal Option in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease before the expiration of the then current Term, Tenant shall be deemed to have forfeited all of Tenant's rights to exercise the Option to Purchase and Renewal Option. 13.7 Early Option Periods. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Article 13, Tenant may exercise the Option to Purchase the Facility prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term as provided in Section 13.7.1-13.7.3 ("Early Option Periods"). Except during the Early Option Periods, Tenant's Option to Purchase shall be governed solely by Section 13.1-Section 13.6. 13.7.1 First Early Option Period. Tenant may exercise the Option to Purchase the Facility during the period April 1, 2002 - March 31, 2004, inclusive ("First Early Option Period") subject to the same terms and conditions of this Article 13 except as follows. [i] The required Purchase Notice shall be given at any time during the First Early Option Period. [ii] The Option Price for the Facility shall be equal to the sum of the Lease Amount at the time of the closing. 13.7.2 Second Early Option Period. Tenant may exercise the Option to Purchase the Facility during the period April 1, 2004 - March 31, 2006, inclusive ("Second Early Option Period") subject to the same terms and conditions of this Article 13 except as follows. [i] The required Purchase Notice shall be given at any time during the Second Early Option Period. [ii] The Option Price for the Facility shall be equal to the sum of the following: [A] An amount equal to the greater of [1] the Allocated Lease Amount for each Pennsylvania Facility or [2] the sum of the depreciated book value of each Pennsylvania Facility as calculated by Landlord according to the method shown on Exhibit J ("DBV") (including straight-line lease amortization) plus 33% of the amount by which the Fair Market Value of each Pennsylvania Facility - 54 - exceeds the DBV of the respective Pennsylvania Facility; plus [B] An amount equal to the greater of [1] the Allocated Lease Amount for the Ohio Facility or [2] the sum of the DBV (excluding straight-line lease amortization) of the Ohio Facility plus 33% of the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the Ohio Facility exceeds the DBV of the Ohio Facility. [iii] The determination of Fair Market Value using the Income Approach under Section 13.3.3 shall utilize an imputed management fee equal to 6% of the gross revenues of the Facility being valued. [iv] There shall be no uncured Event of Default under Section 8.1 or if an Event of Default does exist under Section 8.1, Tenant agrees to satisfy the monetary obligation on or before the closing of the Option to Purchase. 13.7.3 Option Price. The calculation of the Option Price shall be based on the Lease Amount, Allocated Lease Amounts, and DBV as of the date of the closing. The Fair Market Value shall be determined at the time of the option exercise. 13.8 Assignment. Tenant may assign the Option to Purchase the Facility to IPC or an affiliate of IPC. Tenant shall provide notice of any such assignment to Landlord. ARTICLE 14: NEGATIVE COVENANTS Until the BCC Obligations shall have been performed in full, Tenant, Manager and Company covenant and agree that Tenant and Manager (and Company where applicable) shall not do any of the following without the prior written consent of Landlord: 14.1 No Debt. Tenant and Manager shall not create, incur, assume, or permit to exist any indebtedness other than [i] trade debt incurred in the ordinary course of business; [ii] indebtedness to HCRI; [iii] indebtedness relating to the Letter of Credit; and [iv] indebtedness that is secured by any Permitted Lien. 14.2 No Liens. Tenant and Manager shall not create, incur, or permit to exist any lien, charge, encumbrance, easement or restriction upon the Leased Property or any lien - 55 - upon or pledge of any interest in Tenant or Manager, except for Permitted Liens and except for a pledge of the stock or membership interest of Tenant and Managers in favor of IPC or an affiliate of IPC. 14.3 No Guaranties. Tenant and Manager shall not create, incur, assume, or permit to exist any guarantee of any loan or other indebtedness except for the endorsement of negotiable instruments for collection in the ordinary course of business and except for guaranties in favor of any Landlord or any Landlord Affiliate. 14.4 No Transfer. Except as permitted under Section 18.1 and 18.3, Tenant and Manager shall not sell, lease, sublease, mortgage, convey, assign or otherwise transfer any legal or equitable interest in the Leased Property or any part thereof, except for transfers made in connection with any Permitted Lien without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 14.5 No Dissolution. Except as specified in Exhibit M, Tenant, Manager, or Company shall not dissolve, liquidate, merge, consolidate or terminate its existence or sell, assign, lease, or otherwise transfer (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired).

Thereafter throughout the Term, Tenant shall expend such amount each fiscal year, increased annually in proportion to increases in the CPI.

ARTICLE 17: [RESERVED] ARTICLE 18: ASSIGNMENT AND SALE OF LEASED PROPERTY 18.1 Prohibition on Assignment and Subletting. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has entered into this Lease in reliance on the personal services and business expertise of Tenant. Tenant may not assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, grant a right of first refusal or transfer any interest in this Lease, or in the Leased Property, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. The following transactions will be deemed an assignment or sublease requiring Landlord's prior written consent: [i] an assignment by operation of law; [ii] an imposition (whether or not consensual) of a lien, mortgage, or encumbrance upon Tenant's interest in the Lease except for any Permitted Liens; [iii] an arrangement (including, but not limited to, management agreements, concessions, licenses, and easements) which allows the use or occupancy of all or part of the Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant or Manager (other than in the ordinary course of business); and [iv] a change of ownership of Tenant (provided, however, that a change in the ownership of Company shall not constitute an indirect change in the ownership of Tenant). Landlord's consent to any assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will not release Tenant (or any guarantor) from its payment and performance obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant, any guarantor, and Tenant's assignee or sublessee will be jointly and severally liable for such payment and performance. An assignment, right of first refusal or sublease without the prior written consent of Landlord will be void at Landlord's option. Landlord's consent to one assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will not waive the requirement of its consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, [a] Tenant may enter into a Sublease with each Manager, if necessary, for each Facility provided that each Sublease complies with Section 18.2; [b] Tenant or Manager may enter into subleases for therapy services without Landlord's prior consent provided that [x] Tenant provides Landlord a copy of the executed agreement; [y] the agreement follows the form previously approved by Landlord; and [z] the - 67 - terms and circumstances of the sublease are substantially similar to those approved by Landlord in other transactions with Tenant, Manager or Affiliates, and [c] Tenant or Manager may enter into vendor contracts in the ordinary course of business that permit the temporary use and occupancy of the Facility, such as beautician services contracts, pharmacy services contracts, etc. provided that Tenant provides Landlord a copy of the executed agreement and the stated term of the contract is not more than 1 year.

If Tenant is required to obtain Landlord's consent to a specific assignment, sublease, or management agreement, Tenant shall give Landlord [i] the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager; [ii] a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or management agreement; [iii] reasonably satisfactory information about the nature, business and business history of the proposed assignee, subtenant, or manager and its proposed use of the Leased Property; and [iv] banking, financial, and other credit information, and references about the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager. Any assignment, sublease or management agreement shall contain provisions to the effect that [a] such assignment, sublease or management agreement is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord and that the assignee, subtenant or manager shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Lease; [b] such assignment, sublease or management agreement may not be modified without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; [c] if this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such assignment, sublease or management agreement, the assignee, subtenant or manager thereunder will, solely at Landlord's option and only upon the express written notice of attornment from Landlord, attorn to Landlord and waive any right the assignee, subtenant or manager may have to terminate the assignment, sublease or management agreement or surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease; and [d] if the assignee, subtenant or manager receives a written notice from Landlord stating that Tenant is in default under this Lease, the assignee, subtenant or manager shall thereafter pay all rentals or payments under the assignment, sublease or management agreement directly to Landlord until such default has been cured. Any attempt or offer by an assignee, subtenant or - 68 - manager to attorn to Landlord shall not be binding or effective without the express written consent of Landlord. Tenant hereby collaterally assigns to Landlord, as security for the performance of its obligations hereunder, all of Tenant's right, title, and interest in and to any assignment, sublease or management agreement now or hereafter existing for all or part of the Leased Property. Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord, execute such other instruments or documents as Landlord may request to evidence this collateral assignment. If Tenant is required to obtain Landlord's consent to a specific assignment, and if Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, consents to such assignment, sublease, or management agreement, such consent shall not be effective until [i] a fully executed copy of the instrument of assignment, sublease or management agreement has been delivered to Landlord; [ii] in the case of an assignment, Landlord has received a written instrument in which the assignee has assumed and agreed to perform all of Tenant's obligations under the Lease; and [iii] Tenant has paid to Landlord a fee in the amount of $2,500.00 (applies only to consent requests after the Closing); and [iv] Landlord has received reimbursement from Tenant or the assignee for all attorneys' fees and expenses and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with determining whether to give its consent, giving its consent and all matters relating to the assignment (applies only to consent requests after the Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of the $2,500.00 fee shall not be required if Tenant is entering into an agreement that follows substantially the same form previously approved by Landlord and the circumstances underlying the agreement are substantially similar to those existing at the time Landlord previously gave its approval. 18.3 Agreements with Residents. Notwithstanding Section 18.1, Tenant and Manager may enter into an occupancy agreement with residents of the Leased Property without the prior written consent of Landlord provided that [i] the agreement does not provide for lifecare services; [ii] the agreement does not contain any type of rate lock provision or rate guaranty for more than one calendar year; [iii] the agreement does not provide for any rent reduction or waiver other than for an introductory period not to exceed six months; [iv] Tenant and Manager may not collect rent for more than one month in advance; and [v] all residents of the Leased Property are accurately shown in accounting records for the Facility. Tenant and Manager shall provide to Landlord a copy of any changes to the form of resident occupancy agreement that was submitted to Landlord prior to implementation. - 69 - 18.4 Sale of Leased Property. If Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Leased Property sells the Leased Property, its liability for the performance of its agreements in this Lease will end on the date of the sale of the Leased Property, and Tenant will look solely to the purchaser for the performance of those agreements. For purposes of this section, any holder of a mortgage or security agreement which affects the Leased Property at any time, and any landlord under any lease to which this Lease is subordinate at any time, will be a subsequent owner of the Leased Property when it succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Leased Property. 18.5 Assignment by Landlord. Landlord may transfer, assign, mortgage, collaterally assign, or otherwise dispose of Landlord's interest in this Lease or the Leased Property. ARTICLE 19: HOLDOVER AND SURRENDER 19.1 Holding Over. If Tenant, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, continues to hold and occupy the Leased Property (or any part hereof) after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease (other than pursuant to Tenant's purchase of the Leased Property), such holding over beyond the Term and the acceptance or collection of Rent in the amount specified below by Landlord shall operate and be construed as creating a tenancy from month-to-month and not for any other term whatsoever. Said month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord by giving Tenant five days' written notice, and at any time thereafter Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property. If Tenant continues after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease to hold and occupy the Leased Property whether as a month-to-month tenant or a tenant at sufferance or otherwise, Tenant shall pay Rent for each month in an amount equal to the sum of [i] one and one-half (1-1/2) times the Base Rent payable during the month in which such expiration or termination occurs, plus [ii] all Additional Rent accruing during the month, plus [iii] any and all other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. During any continued tenancy after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by applicable law, to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property until the tenancy is terminated. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or - 70 - implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 19.2 Surrender. Except for [i] Permitted Alterations; [ii] normal and reasonable wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Tenant to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair during the Term); and [iii] damage and destruction not required to be repaired by Tenant, Tenant shall surrender and deliver up the Leased Property at the expiration or termination of the Term in as good order and condition as of the Commencement Date. 19.3 Indemnity. If Tenant fails to surrender the entire Leased Property or any part thereof upon the expiration or termination of this Lease in a timely manner and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord, its principals, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless from loss or liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, loss of rental with respect to any new lease in which the rental payable thereunder exceeds the Rent collected by Landlord pursuant to this Lease during Tenant's hold-over and any claims by any proposed new tenant founded on Tenant's failure to surrender the Leased Property. The provisions of this Article 19 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. ARTICLE 20: LETTER OF CREDIT 20.1 Terms of Letter of Credit. Any Letter of Credit required to be provided pursuant to Section 15.7.2(b) or 15.7.3(b) shall permit partial and full draws and shall permit drawing upon presentation of a draft drawn on the issuer and a certificate signed by Landlord stating that an Event of Default has occurred under Section 15.7.2 or 15.7.3 of this Lease ("Cash Flow Default") and an Event of Default has occurred under Section 8.1 ("Monetary Default"). Each Letter of Credit shall be for an initial term of one year and shall be automatically renewed annually for successive terms of at least one year unless Landlord receives notice from the Issuer, by certified mail, at least 60 days prior to the expiry date then in effect that such Letter of Credit will not be extended for an additional one-year period. 20.2 Replacement Letter of Credit. Tenant shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit which satisfies the requirements of Section 20.1 from an Issuer reasonably acceptable to - 71 - Landlord within 30 days after the occurrence of any of the following: [i] Landlord's receipt of notice from the Issuer that the Letter of Credit will not be extended for an additional one-year period; [ii] Landlord gives notice to Tenant that the Lace Financial Service Rating (or rating of a comparable rating service) of the Issuer is less than a "C+" (or the comparable rating of such other rating service); [iii] Landlord gives notice to Tenant of the admission by Issuer in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or Issuer's filing of a petition in bankruptcy or petitions to take advantage of any insolvency act, making an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, consenting to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or filing a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law, regulation, or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof; or [iv] Issuer is at any time determined not to be at least "adequately capitalized", as that term is defined and used in the "Prompt Corrective Action" statute 12 U.S.C. Section 1831o, and implementing regulations. Tenant's failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall be an immediate Event of Default without any notice (other than as provided for in this section), cure or grace period. Upon such Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit and Landlord may, solely at its option and without any obligation to do so, require Tenant to obtain a replacement Letter of Credit satisfactory to Landlord with the Letter of Credit proceeds made available to Tenant solely to secure Tenant's reimbursement obligation for the replacement Letter of Credit. 20.3 Draws. Upon the occurrence of both a Cash Flow Default and a Monetary Default, Landlord shall make a partial or full draw on the Letter of Credit in an amount not to exceed the amount of Tenant's monetary obligations under this Lease then past due. Landlord's application of the proceeds from such partial or full draw on the Letter of Credit to payment of all of Tenant's monetary obligations then past due shall cure the Monetary Default. If the available Letter of Credit proceeds are not sufficient to pay all of the monetary obligations, such proceeds shall be applied against the obligations but shall not cure the Monetary Default or the Cash Flow Default. 20.4 Substitute Letter of Credit. Tenant may, from time to time, deliver to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Lease and issued by an Issuer acceptable to Landlord. Upon Landlord's approval of the - 72 - substitute Letter of Credit, Landlord shall release the previous Letter of Credit to Tenant. 20.5 Return of Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall be returned to Tenant as provided in Section 15.7.2(b) and 15.7.3(b). ARTICLE 21: QUIET ENJOYMENT, SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES 21.1 Quiet Enjoyment.

The foregoing subordination provision is expressly conditioned upon any lessor or mortgagee being obligated and bound to recognize Tenant as the tenant under this Lease, and such lessor or mortgagee shall have no right to disturb Tenant's possession, use and occupancy of the Leased Property or Tenant's enjoyment of its rights under this Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs hereunder. Any foreclosure action or proceeding by any mortgagee with respect to the Leased Property shall not affect Tenant's rights under this Lease and shall not terminate this Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs hereunder. The foregoing provisions will be self-operative, and no further instrument will be required in order to effect them. However, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at any time and from time to time upon demand by Landlord, such documents as may be requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other instrument described in this section, to confirm or effect any such subordination, provided that any such document shall include a non-disturbance provision as set forth in this section satisfactory to Tenant. Any mortgagee of the Leased Property shall be deemed to be bound by the non-disturbance provision set forth in this section.

This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 21.3 Attornment. If any holder of any mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, or other similar instrument described in Section 21.2 succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Leased Property, Tenant will pay to such holder all Rent subsequently payable under this Lease. Tenant shall, upon request of anyone succeeding to the interest of Landlord, automatically become the tenant of, and attorn to, such successor in interest without changing this Lease. The successor in interest will not be bound by [i] any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance; [ii] any amendment or modification of this Lease thereafter made without its consent as provided in this Lease; [iii] any claim against Landlord arising prior to the date on which the successor succeeded to Landlord's interest; or [iv] any claim or offset of Rent against Landlord. Upon request by Landlord or such successor in interest and without cost to Landlord or such successor in interest, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the attornment. If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such instrument within 20 days after written demand, then Landlord or such successor in interest will be entitled to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any such document.
