ARTICLE 2: RENT

2.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord base rent (“Base Rent”) in advance in consecutive monthly installments payable on the first day of each month during the Term commencing on the Commencement Date. If the Effective Date is not the first day of a month, Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent on the Effective Date for the partial month, i.e., for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the day before the Commencement Date.

2.5 Net Lease. This Lease shall be deemed and construed to be an “absolute net lease”, and Tenant shall pay all Rent and other charges and expenses in connection with the Leased Property throughout the Term, without abatement, deduction, recoupment or setoff.

Landlord shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Lease or by statute or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of the Rent.

2.6 No Termination, Abatement, Etc. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms. Except for rights specifically granted to Tenant herein, Tenant shall not, without the consent of Landlord, modify, surrender or terminate the Lease, nor seek nor be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent, or setoff or recoupment against the Rent. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, the obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not be affected by reason of [i] any damage to, or destruction of, the Leased Property or any part thereof from whatever cause or any Taking (as hereinafter defined) of the Leased Property or any part thereof; [ii] the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, the interference with such use by any person, corporation, partnership or other entity, or by reason of eviction by paramount title; [iii] any claim which Tenant has or might have against Landlord or by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; [iv] any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or [v] any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, other than a discharge of Tenant from any such obligations as a matter of law. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law [a] to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof; or [b] entitling Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease other than by reason of an Event of Default.

ARTICLE 3: IMPOSITIONS AND UTILITIES

3.1 Payment of Impositions. 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 §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. Landlord shall promptly provide copies of any notices, bills or assessments it receives relating to Impositions to Tenant with reasonably sufficient time for Tenant to pay such amounts. Tenant shall have no liability, including, without limitation, interest and penalties on unpaid amounts, for failure of Landlord to give notice to Tenant of Impositions for which Tenant has not otherwise received notice and for which Landlord has actually received notice. 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 monetary Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing and if Tenant shall have paid all Impositions prior to the

date they become delinquent as of the date of the refund. Landlord shall be entitled to any refund from any taxing authority if a monetary Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any refunds retained by Landlord due to an Event of Default shall be applied to any outstanding obligations of Tenant hereunder as Landlord shall determine. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event 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. In any jurisdictions where Tenant is not legally permitted to file property tax returns, then Landlord shall make such filings. 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, Landlord will provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the 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. “Impositions” means, collectively, [i] subject to clause [1] in this section below, taxes (including, without limitation, all capital stock and franchise taxes of Landlord imposed by the Facility State or any governmental entity in the Facility State due to this lease transaction or Landlord’s ownership of the Leased Property and the income arising therefrom, or due to Landlord being considered as doing business in the Facility State because of Landlord’s ownership of the Leased Property or lease thereof to Tenant), all real estate and personal property ad valorem, sales and use, business or occupation, single business, gross receipts, commercial activity, transaction privilege, rent or similar taxes; [ii] assessments (including, without limitation, all assessments for public improvements or benefits, whether or not commenced or completed prior to the date hereof and whether or not to be completed within the Term); [iii] ground rents, water, sewer or other rents and charges, excises, tax levies, and fees (including, without limitation, license, permit, inspection, authorization and similar fees); [iv] all taxes imposed on Tenant’s operations of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, employee withholding taxes, income taxes and intangible taxes; [v] all taxes imposed by the Facility State or any governmental entity in the Facility State with respect to the conveyance of the Leased Property by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant’s designee, including, without limitation, conveyance taxes, capital gains taxes and commercial activity taxes; and [vi] all other governmental charges, in each case whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen, of every character in respect of the Leased Property or any part thereof and/or the Rent (including all interest and penalties thereon due to any failure in payment by Tenant), which at any time prior to, during or in respect of the Term

hereof may be assessed or imposed on or in respect of or be a lien upon [a] Landlord or Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property or any part thereof; [b] the Leased Property or any part thereof or any rent therefrom or any estate, right, title or interest therein; or [c] any occupancy, operation, use or possession of, or sales from, or activity conducted on, or in connection with the Leased Property or the leasing or use of the Leased Property or any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not, however, be required to pay [1] any tax based on net income imposed on Landlord by any governmental entity other than the capital stock and franchise taxes described in clause [i] above; [2] franchise tax, registration fee or other fee payable as a result of or relating to a change in Landlord’s corporate structure or existence after the Effective Date; [3] any estate or inheritance tax of Landlord and its permitted successors and assigns; [4] any tax imposed with respect to the sale, exchange or other disposition by Landlord of any Leased Property or the proceeds thereof to a party other than Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant, Guarantor or any Affiliates, or the successors or assigns of the foregoing; or [5] except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease any principal or interest on any indebtedness on the Leased Property for which Landlord is the obligor or any ground rents under any encumbrances on Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Property imposed by Landlord after the Effective Date.

3.3 Escrow of Impositions. If an Event of Default occurs under §8.1(a) and while it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s election, [i] deposit with Landlord on the first day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the Impositions assessed against the Leased Property for the preceding tax year, which sums shall be used by Landlord toward payment of such Impositions, and [ii] enter into a tax escrow agreement with Landlord in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. The receipt by Landlord of the payment of such Impositions by and from Tenant shall only be as an accommodation to Tenant, the mortgagees, and the taxing authorities, and shall not be construed as rent or income to Landlord, Landlord serving, if at all, only as a conduit for delivery purposes.

3.4 Utilities. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all taxes, assessments, charges, deposits, and bills for utilities, including, without limitation, charges for water, gas, oil, sanitary and storm sewer, electricity, telephone service, and trash collection, which may be charged against the occupant of the Improvements during the Term.

3.5 Discontinuance of Utilities. 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.

3.6 Business Expenses. Tenant acknowledges that it is solely responsible for 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. Tenant, on its own or on Landlord’s behalf (or in Landlord’s name), but at Tenant’s expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or any Legal Requirement or insurance requirement or any lien,

attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim provided that [i] in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from Landlord and from the Leased Property; [ii] neither the Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest therein would be in any immediate danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost; [iii] in the case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any immediate danger of civil or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings; [iv] the provisions of this section shall not be construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent (except as to contests concerning the method of computation or the basis of levy of any Imposition or the basis for the assertion of any other claim) or any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder; [v] in the case of an insurance requirement, the coverage required by Article 4 shall be maintained; and [vi] if such contest be finally resolved against Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent due hereunder, promptly pay the amount required to be paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon, or comply with the applicable Legal Requirement or insurance requirement. 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 Landlord does not join as a party therein, then Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting therefrom except for any liability, cost or expense resulting from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

replacement value redetermined at any time after such Alterations are made, regardless of when the full replacement value was last determined.

4.6 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, Tenant may carry the insurance required by this Article under a blanket policy of insurance, provided that the coverage afforded Tenant will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all of the requirements of this Lease.

Said mutual waiver shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss or damage to property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as the said waivers will preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereto agrees immediately to give each insurance company which has issued to it policies of insurance, written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers, and to have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers, so long as such endorsement is available at a reasonable cost.

5.1.1 Notice of Claim. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any claim or action brought against Landlord in which indemnity may be sought against Tenant pursuant to this section. 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 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 or impairs Tenant’s defense of any such action.

5.1.2 Survival of Covenants. The covenants of Tenant and Landlord 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 reasonable expenses and charges incurred by Landlord relating to the enforcement of the provisions herein specified.

If at any time during the Term of this Lease any governmental authority notifies Landlord or Tenant of a violation of any Environmental Law or Landlord reasonably believes that a Facility may violate any Environmental Law, Landlord may require one or more environmental audits of such portion of the Leased Property, in such form, scope and substance as specified by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, except if such violation relates to the situations in [i] or [ii] above, in which case, such audits shall be performed at Landlord’s expense. With respect to auditors for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in reviewing any environmental audit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

5.3 Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. Landlord, its agents, and employees, will not be liable for any loss, injury, death, or damage (including consequential damages) to persons, property, or Tenant’s business occasioned by theft, act of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition, order of governmental body or authority, fire, explosion, falling objects, steam, water, rain or snow, leak or flow of water (including water from the elevator system), rain or snow from the Leased Property or into the Leased Property or from the roof, street, subsurface or from any other place, or by dampness or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction, or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, or lighting fixtures of the Leased Property, or from construction, repair, or alteration of the Leased Property or from any acts or omissions of any other occupant or visitor of the Leased Property, or from any other cause beyond Landlord’s control unless Tenant can demonstrate that the problem was caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE 6: USE AND ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES

6.1 Use of Leased Property. Tenant shall use and occupy the Leased Property exclusively for the Facility Uses specified for each Facility and for all lawful and licensed

ancillary uses, and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall obtain and maintain all approvals, licenses, and consents needed to use and operate the Leased Property as herein permitted.

Tenant waives any claim or action against Landlord with respect to the condition of the Leased Property. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, OR AS TO QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT.

6.3 Conditions of Use and Occupancy. Tenant agrees that during the Term it shall use and keep the Leased Property in a careful, safe and proper manner; not commit or suffer waste thereon; not use or occupy the Leased Property for any unlawful purposes; not use or occupy the Leased Property or permit the same to be used or occupied, for any purpose or business reasonably deemed extra-hazardous on account of fire or otherwise; keep the Leased Property in such repair and condition as may be required by the Board of Health, or other city, state or federal authorities, free of all cost to Landlord; not permit any acts to be done which will cause the cancellation, invalidation, or suspension of any insurance policy; and permit Landlord and its agents to enter upon the Leased Property at all reasonable times upon five (5) days prior notice (except in the case of an emergency) to examine the condition thereof. Landlord shall have the right to have an annual inspection of the Leased Property performed and Tenant shall pay an inspection fee of $1,500.00 per Facility plus Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses within 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice.

ARTICLE 7: MAINTENANCE AND MECHANICS’ LIENS

7.1 Maintenance. Tenant shall maintain, repair, and replace the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all structural and nonstructural repairs and replacements to the roof, foundations, exterior walls, HVAC systems, equipment, parking areas, sidewalks, water, sewer and gas connections, pipes and mains. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, the full cost of maintenance, repairs, and replacements. Tenant shall maintain all drives, sidewalks, parking areas, and lawns on or about the Leased Property in a clean and orderly condition, free of accumulations of dirt, rubbish, snow and ice. Tenant shall at all times maintain, operate and otherwise manage the Leased Property on a basis and in a manner consistent with the standards of the highest quality competing facilities in the market areas served by the Leased Property. All repairs shall be performed in a good, workmanlike manner. Tenant shall permit Landlord to inspect the Leased Property at all reasonable times upon five (5) days prior notice (except in the case of an emergency) to the Kindred Leased Properties Manager or Vice President of Facilities

and Real Estate Development. If Landlord gives Tenant notice of any maintenance conditions which are not being maintained by Tenant in accordance with this Lease, then Tenant shall act in good faith to investigate the issues raised in the notice, notify Landlord of the course of action Tenant intends to take with respect to the problem and the anticipated time required to complete the work in accordance with this section, and complete such work within such anticipated time period unless due to unforeseen circumstances such work cannot with due diligence be completed within such estimated time period, in which case such period of time shall be extended as may be necessary to complete such work but, in any event, the work shall be completed within one year after the date of Landlord’s original notice to Tenant. At each inspection of the Leased Property by Landlord, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make its employee in charge of maintenance available to tour the Facility with Landlord and answer questions.

7.2 Required Alterations. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, make any additions, changes, improvements or alterations to the Leased Property, including structural alterations, which may be required by any governmental authorities, including those required to maintain licensure or certification under the Medicare and Medicaid programs (if so certified), whether such changes are required by Tenant’s use, changes in the law, ordinances, or governmental regulations, defects existing as of the date of this Lease, or any other cause whatsoever. All such additions, changes, improvements or alterations shall be deemed to be Permitted Alterations and shall comply with all laws requiring such alterations and with the provisions of §16.4.

7.3 Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant shall have no authority to permit or create a lien against Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property, and Tenant shall post notices or file such documents as may be required to protect Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property against liens. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any mechanic’s liens against the Leased Property by reason of work, labor, services or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied on or to the Leased Property. Tenant shall remove, bond-off, or otherwise obtain the release of any mechanic’s lien filed against the Leased Property within sixty (60) days after notice of the filing thereof. Tenant shall pay all expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, damages, interest, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

7.4 Replacements of Fixtures and Landlord’s Personal Property. Tenant shall not remove Fixtures and Landlord’s Personal Property from the Leased Property except to replace the Fixtures and Landlord’s Personal Property by other similar items of equal quality and value. Items being replaced by Tenant may be removed and shall become the property of Tenant and items replacing the same shall be and remain the property of Landlord. Landlord appoints Tenant as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for Landlord in replacing Fixtures and Landlord’s Personal Property when replacement is necessary to meet Tenant’s maintenance obligations under this article. Tenant shall execute, upon written request from Landlord, any and all reasonable and customary documents necessary to evidence Landlord’s ownership of Landlord’s Personal Property and replacements therefor. Tenant shall not finance any individual replacements for the Fixtures and Landlord’s Personal Property.

ARTICLE 8: DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder without any advance notice to Tenant unless specified herein:

(a) Tenant fails to pay in full any installment of Base Rent, any Additional Rent or any other monetary obligation payable by Tenant under this Lease (including the Option Price), within 10 days after written notice from Landlord that such payment is due; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide more than two such notices to Tenant within any two-year time period during the Term. After receipt of such second notice, Tenant shall thereafter have a grace period of 10 days after the payment is due in which to make the payment and no notice and cure period shall be applicable.

(b) Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor (where applicable) fails to comply with any covenant set forth in Article 14, §15.6 or §15.7.

(c) Tenant fails to observe and perform any other covenant, condition or agreement under this Lease to be performed by Tenant and [i] such failure continues for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof is given to Tenant by Landlord; or [ii] if, by reason of the nature of such default it cannot be remedied within 30 days, Tenant fails to proceed with diligence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord after receipt of the notice to cure the default, or in any event, fails to cure such default within 180 days after receipt of the notice. The foregoing notice and cure provisions do not apply to any Event of Default otherwise specifically described in any other subsection of §8.1.

(d) Tenant or Affiliate Subtenant abandons or vacates any Facility Property or ceases to operate any Facility except as permitted under §14.11 and except during any period that Tenant cannot reasonably be expected to conduct business at a Facility because of fire or other casualty or condemnation, interruption of services of electrical, water or plumbing to the Facility or because of any cause beyond Tenant’s reasonable control including strikes, war, terrorist act, labor troubles or the occurrence of an act of God.

(e) [i] The filing by Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code or the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding by Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor; [ii] the failure by Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor within 60 days to dismiss an involuntary bankruptcy petition or other commencement of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding against such party, or to lift or stay any execution, garnishment or attachment of such consequence as will impair its ability to carry on its operation at the Leased Property; [iii] the entry of an order for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor; [iv] any assignment by Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor for the benefit of its creditors; [v] the entry by Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor into an agreement of composition with its creditors during or in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding by Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor; [vi] the approval by a court of competent jurisdiction of a petition applicable to Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor in any proceeding for its reorganization instituted under the provisions of any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws; [vii] appointment by final order,

judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction of a receiver of a whole or any substantial part of the properties of Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor (provided such receiver shall not have been removed or discharged within 60 days of the date of his qualification).

(f) [i] Any administrator, custodian or other similar person takes possession or control of any of the Leased Property and continues in possession for 60 days; [ii] any writ against any of the Leased Property is not released within 60 days; [iii] any judgment is rendered or proceedings are instituted against the Leased Property, Tenant or Affiliate Subtenant which affect the Leased Property or any part thereof, which is not dismissed for 60 days (except as otherwise provided in this section) unless Tenant is proceeding with due diligence to release any such judgment and has provided reasonable security to Landlord; [iv] all or a substantial part of the assets of Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor are attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or are levied upon, or come into the possession of any receiver, trustee, custodian, or assignee for the benefit of creditors; [v] Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order, or any proceeding is filed or commenced seeking to enjoin, restrain or in any way prevent Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor from conducting all or a substantial part of its business or affairs; or [vi] except for a Permitted Lien, a lien that Tenant is contesting pursuant to §3.7, or a lien arising from Landlord’s action or failure to act, a final notice of lien, levy or assessment is filed of record with respect to all or any part of the Leased Property or any property of Tenant or Affiliate Subtenant located at the Leased Property and is not dismissed, discharged, or bonded-off within 60 days.

(g) Any representation or warranty made by Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor in this Lease or any other document executed in connection with this Lease, any guaranty of this Lease, or any report, certificate, application, financial statement or other instrument furnished by Tenant, Affiliate Subtenant or Guarantor pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to be false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect as of the date made and the foregoing results in a material adverse effect on the Leased Property or Tenant’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Lease.

(h) The LTACH Tenant fails to pay Base Rent under the LTACH Lease and such failure continues for a period of 120 days without such default having been cured, or the occurrence of a default under any Material Obligation that results in acceleration of the obligation and initiation of foreclosure (or equivalent judicial proceedings) related to real or personal property collateral. This provision applies to the LTACH Lease and the Material Obligations as they may be amended, modified, extended, or renewed from time to time.

(i) Any Guarantor of this Lease, dissolves, terminates, files a petition in bankruptcy, or is adjudicated insolvent under the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency law, or fails to comply with any covenant or requirement of such guarantor set forth in this Lease or in the Guaranty of such Guarantor.

(j) [i] The license for the Facility or any other Government Authorization necessary to operate the Facility is canceled, suspended, reduced to provisional or temporary, or otherwise invalidated and not reinstated within 270 days thereafter; or [ii] license

revocation or decertification proceedings are commenced against Tenant or Affiliate Subtenant and not dismissed within 270 days; or [iii] an admissions ban is issued for the Facility and not dismissed within 270 days; or [iv] except as permitted under §14.11, any voluntary reduction occurs in the number of licensed beds or units at the Facility; provided, however that if the actions referenced under clauses [i], [ii], and [iii] are not dismissed within 270 days, such failure shall not cause an Event of Default hereunder if Tenant delivers to Landlord a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to one year’s Base Rent for the affected Facility to be held by Landlord as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease as provided in Article 20 until such time as there is a final, unappealable determination in favor of Tenant or Affiliate Subtenant or the action is dismissed.

(k) A final, unappealable determination shall occur whereby an involuntary reduction occurs in the number of licensed beds or units at the Facility and such reduction equals 5% or more of the total number of licensed beds or units at the Facility.

8.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance 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 or otherwise provided under law or in equity, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following remedies:

(a) Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property without terminating this Lease, and lease the Leased Property for the account of Tenant, holding Tenant liable for all reasonable costs of Landlord in reletting the 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 by written notice to Tenant, exclude Tenant from possession of the Leased Property and use efforts to lease the 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 and have, repossess and enjoy the 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 less any amounts recouped by Landlord from reletting.

(d) Landlord may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent hereunder based on the then current Rent Schedule and Tenant shall be liable for the present value of the aggregate Rent for the unexpired term of this Lease, discounted at an annual rate equal to the then-current U.S. Treasury Note rate for the closest comparable term less the present value of fair market rental for the unexpired term of this Lease, discounted at the same rate.

(e) Landlord may demand payment from Tenant of an amount equal to the Outstanding Straight Line Rent Receivable accrued by Landlord under this Lease as of the date that Tenant surrenders possession of the Leased Property (“Surrender Date”). As used herein, the “Outstanding Straight Line Rent Receivable” means [i] the amount of Base Rent that would have accrued under this Lease, up to the Surrender Date, if the Base Rent were calculated based upon the mathematical average of Landlord’s rate of return over the entire Initial Term after taking into account the Inflation Adjustment (as defined in the Commitment) for each Lease Year of the entire Initial Term, minus [ii] the amount of Base Rent payable under this Lease, up to the Surrender Date, based upon the Rent Schedule, i.e. based upon Landlord’s rate of return including the annual Inflation Adjustment imposed for each Lease Year up to the Surrender Date, as computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(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) 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.

(h) Landlord may apply, through appropriate legal action, with notice to Tenant, for the appointment of a receiver for the Leased Property.

8.3 Right of Setoff. Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant to, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without advance notice to Tenant (any such notice being expressly waived by Tenant), setoff 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 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 for which Tenant fails to diligently pursue performance within twenty (20) days after Landlord has sent a written notice to Tenant informing it of its specific failure; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to licensure issues identified under §8.1(j) and §8.1(k) which Landlord shall not address or seek to perform until Tenant’s failure constitutes an Event of Default hereunder. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional Rent, for any reasonable expenditures thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at the rate of 13% per annum.

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 Default Rent. At Landlord’s option at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default and while such Event of Default remains uncured, the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be increased to reflect Landlord’s rate of return of 13% per annum on the Investment Amount (“Default Rent”); provided, however, that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any other amounts payable under this Lease are deemed to be interest, the Default Rent 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.

8.7 Attorneys’ Fees. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord’s rights under this Lease, including, without limitation, [i] the 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 of outside counsel; and [iii] the 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 Obligor Group Obligations, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title, and interest in and to all monies escrowed with Landlord under this Lease; 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 Obligor Group Obligations in the order which Landlord may determine.

8.9 Remedies Cumulative. 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 following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, [iii] any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease, [iv] any right of redemption whether pursuant to statute, at law or in equity, [v] 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

except as specifically provided for hereunder, and [vi] all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of any obligation or advance under this Lease before or after this date except as specifically provided for hereunder.

8.11 Obligations Under the Bankruptcy Code. Upon filing of a petition by or against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant, as debtor and as debtor-in-possession, and any trustee who may be appointed with respect to the assets of or estate in bankruptcy of Tenant, agree to pay monthly in advance on the first day of each month, as reasonable compensation for the use and occupancy of the Leased Property, an amount equal to all Rent due pursuant to this Lease. Included within and in addition to any other conditions or obligations imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of the assumption and/or assignment of this Lease are the following: [i] the cure of any monetary defaults and reimbursement of pecuniary loss within not more than five Business Days of assumption and/or assignment; [ii] the deposit of an additional amount equal to not less than three months’ Base Rent, which amount is agreed to be a necessary and appropriate deposit to adequately assure the future performance under this Lease of the Tenant or its assignee; and [iii] the continued use of the Leased Property for the Facility Uses. Nothing herein shall be construed as an agreement by Landlord to any assignment of this Lease or a waiver of Landlord’s right to seek adequate assurance of future performance in addition to that set forth hereinabove in connection with any proposed assumption and/or assignment of this Lease.

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 $150,000.00 (a “Casualty”), Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within three (3) Business Days after the occurrence of the Casualty. Within 15 days after the occurrence of the Casualty or as soon thereafter as such information is available to Tenant following Tenant’s reasonably diligent efforts to obtain such information, 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 three (3) Business Days after request from Landlord, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all correspondence to the insurer relating to any Casualty 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 §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 and Tenant may jointly elect to be governed by §9.2.1 by giving written notice of such election within 30 days after the occurrence of the Casualty. If such notice is not given by each party within the 30-day period the provisions of §9.2.3 shall govern.

9.2.3 If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and §9.2.1 does not apply, this Lease shall be deemed terminated as to the affected Facility on the 31^st day after the occurrence of the Casualty. All insurance proceeds payable as a result of such Casualty shall be paid to and retained by Landlord; subject, however, to the following provisions. If the total amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord (after deduction for all reasonable collections costs, if any) is less than Landlord’s lease basis for such Facility at such time, Tenant shall pay such shortfall amount to Landlord within 10 days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant of the shortfall amount. If the total amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord (after deduction for all reasonable collection costs, if any) is greater than Landlord’s lease basis for such Facility at such time, Landlord shall retain an amount equal to the sum of the Option Amount; the balance of the net insurance proceeds shall be paid to Tenant. Upon Landlord’s receipt of funds, the Investment Amount shall be reduced by the lease basis; the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be reduced accordingly. The termination of this Lease as to one Facility due to a Casualty is the result of circumstances beyond the control of Landlord and Tenant and the parties affirm that, except for such specific isolated situation, this Lease is intended to be a single indivisible lease. If there is only one Facility subject to this Lease, this Lease will terminate in its entirety.

9.3 Partial Destruction. If any Facility’s Improvements are not substantially destroyed, then Tenant shall comply with the provisions of §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 restore the Leased Property to its condition existing immediately prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar to it in character as is practicable and reasonable. With respect to any repairs or restoration which constitute Major Alterations (other than Non-Structural Major Alterations), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Plans and Specifications, or in the case of Non-Structural Major Alterations, an Alterations Summary, which Plans and Specifications or Alterations Summary shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable consent. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the level of detail with respect to any Plans and Specifications delivered hereunder shall be comparable to that which is referred to in the architectural profession as “designed development drawings” as opposed to working or biddable drawings. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably delay its review of the Plans and Specifications or Alterations Summary, as applicable. 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 disbursed as mutually determined by Landlord and Tenant provided, however, that Landlord shall require proof of payment to parties performing such reconstruction or repair. Tenant will 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 reconstruction or repair 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 §9.4 in full, Tenant shall pay the amount of any such shortfall to Landlord.

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 at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant 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 during the completion of the repairs or rebuilding, 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, 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. Payment of rent to Landlord by Tenant’s insurance company pursuant to rent insurance coverage shall be deemed payment by Tenant.

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 reasonably be expected to 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. 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. Upon Landlord’s receipt of funds, the Investment Amount shall be reduced by the lease basis; the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be reduced accordingly. The termination of this Lease as to one Facility Property due to a Taking is the result of circumstances beyond the control of Landlord and Tenant and the parties affirm that, except for such specific isolated situation, this Lease is intended to be a single indivisible lease. If there is only one Facility Property subject to this Lease, this Lease will terminate in its entirety.

10.2 Partial Taking. If, after a Taking, so much of the 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 and the Investment Amount will be adjusted accordingly; [ii] at its cost, 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] promptly following receipt thereof, 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. The restoration shall be completed in accordance with §§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.

(e) 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 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 reasonable 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.

It is the intent of the parties hereto that the level of detail with respect to any Plans and Specifications delivered hereunder shall be comparable to that which is referred to in the architectural profession as “design development drawings” as opposed to working or biddable drawings. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably delay its review of the Plans and Specifications or Alterations Summary, as applicable. Within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reviewing and, if required, approving or disapproving the Plans and Specifications, inspecting the Leased Property, and otherwise monitoring compliance with the terms of this Article 16. Tenant shall comply with the requirements of §16.4 in making any Alterations.

Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord shall be additional insureds of such policy. Such insurance shall be in accordance with Article 4 hereof.

(f) Tenant shall pay the premiums required to increase the amount of the insurance coverages required by Article 4 to reflect the increased value of the Improvements resulting from installation of the Permitted Alterations, and shall deliver to Landlord a certificate evidencing the increase in coverage.

(g) Tenant shall, not later than 60 days after completion of any Major Alterations, deliver to Landlord a revised “as-built” survey of the respective Facility if the Major Alterations altered the Land or “footprint” of the Improvements and an “as-built” set of Plans and Specifications for the Major Alterations in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, if so requested by Landlord at the time it granted consent for such Alterations pursuant to Section 16.2 hereof.

(h) Tenant shall, not later than 30 days after Landlord sends an invoice, reimburse Landlord for any reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and architects’ and engineers’ fees, incurred in connection with reviewing and approving the Permitted Alterations and ensuring Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of this section.

Upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall, within 30 days after notice from Landlord, remove the signs and restore the Leased Property to its original condition.

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. Except for Permitted Transfers, Tenant may not assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, grant a right of first refusal or transfer (in each case, a “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 a Transfer 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 in accordance with Article 18; [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; and [iv] subject to §18.1.1 hereof, a change of 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, [i] Tenant may enter into a Sublease with each Affiliated Subtenant for each Facility provided that each Sublease complies with §18.2, [ii] Landlord’s consent to a sublease, license, concession or other similar occupancy agreement for ancillary services that covers 10% or more but less than 50% in the aggregate of the square footage of any Facility and is entered into in the normal course of Tenant’s business, shall not be unreasonably withheld, and [iii] Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease that does not constitute a Permitted Transfer may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but Landlord may take into consideration the factors set forth in §23.6.

18.1.1 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord’s consent shall not be required in connection with any of the following (each of the following a “Permitted Transfer”):

(a) A sale or other transfer of any stock of Tenant or any Controlling Person(s) (including, without limitation, Kindred Healthcare, Inc.) as a result of [i] a public offering of Tenant’s or such Controlling Person’s stock pursuant to firm commitment underwriting or a plan of distribution registered under the Securities Act; [ii] any offering of Tenant’s or any Controlling Person’s stock pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities Act; or [iii] any issuance of Tenant’s or any Controlling Person’s stock for the benefit of employees or directors of such Persons pursuant to any formal employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement or plan for reinvestment of dividends of interest, in each case duly authorized by the Board of Directors of such Person. In addition, to the extent that the stock of Tenant or any such Controlling Person(s) is listed for trading on any of the American Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, or authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ National Market, the transfer or exchange of such stock over such exchange or market shall not be deemed a Transfer hereunder and accordingly shall not require the consent of Landlord.

(b) Any Transfers to Affiliates of Tenant provided that Tenant remains liable for all obligations or the Affiliate assumes all obligations of Tenant to Landlord.

(c) Subleases, licenses, concessions, or other similar occupancy agreements for ancillary services that cover less than 10% in the aggregate of the square footage of any Facility and are entered into in the normal course of Tenant’s business so long as each such sublease complies with §18.2.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Article 23, Leasehold Mortgages and any foreclosure thereof.

(e) A sale or assignment of equity interests in Tenant or Affiliate Subtenant pursuant to a foreclosure by Lender of a pledge of such equity interests.

18.2 Requests for Landlord’s Consent to Assignment, Sublease or Management Agreement. If Tenant is required to obtain Landlord’s consent to a specific Transfer, Tenant shall give Landlord [i] the name and address of the proposed transferee; [ii] a copy of the proposed transfer agreement; [iii] reasonably satisfactory information about the nature, business and business history of the proposed transferee and its proposed use of the Leased Property; and [iv] banking, financial, and other credit information, and references about the proposed transferee reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed transferee. 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 materially modified without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that any proposed transfer agreement for a Permitted Transfer may be materially modified without the prior written consent of Landlord; [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 manager to attorn to Landlord shall not be binding or effective without the express written consent of Landlord. If Landlord 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 reasonable 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).

18.3 Agreements with Residents. Tenant and Affiliate Subtenant may not enter into an occupancy agreement with residents of the Leased Property without the prior written consent of Landlord that [i] provide for lifecare services; [ii] contain any type of rate lock provision or rate guaranty for more than one calendar year; and [iii] provide for any rent reduction or waiver for a period not to exceed three months for skilled nursing facilities and one calendar year for assisted living facilities. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the then current form of resident occupancy agreement being used by Tenant.

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.

18.6 Assigned Leases and Tenancies. Landlord shall assign to Tenant the leases and the tenancies at will described on the attached Exhibit G (“Assigned Leases and Tenancies”). All Assigned Leases and Tenancies and renewals thereof shall be considered subleases under this Lease and Tenant shall perform the obligations of landlord or lessor thereunder or assign such obligations to an Affiliate Subtenant.

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 thereof) after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease (other than pursuant to Tenant’s purchase of the Leased Property or pursuant to Section 15.8.2 hereof), 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 (1¹/2) 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 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. 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 (excluding consequential damages), including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual loss of rental with respect to any new lease actually executed by Landlord with another tenant with respect to the subject Facility or Facilities in which the rental payable thereunder exceeds the Rent collected by Landlord pursuant to this Lease during Tenant’s holdover 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. If Tenant is required under the terms of this Lease to provide Landlord with a Letter of Credit, the terms of this Article 20 shall apply. Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit in favor of Landlord until Tenant has satisfied the applicable requirements for release. The Letter of Credit 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 this Lease. The 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 the 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 §20.1 from an Issuer acceptable to 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. §1831, 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. Landlord may draw under the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Landlord shall apply all or any portion of the Proceeds from the Letter of Credit (“LC Proceeds”) to pay all or any portion of [i] the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; plus [ii] all reasonable expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord’s rights under this Lease or any security for the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, [a] the fees, expenses, and costs of any litigation, appellate, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar proceeding; [b] attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and disbursements; and [c] the 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 similar proceedings and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of the Letter of Credit which Tenant must provide to Landlord in connection with any failure by Tenant to comply with §15.7.2 of this Lease for any fiscal quarter shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of any then outstanding Letters of Credit previously provided by Tenant to Landlord (including, without limitation, those Letters of Credit which Landlord has not drawn upon) in connection with a failure by Tenant to comply in §15.7.2 of this Lease during any previous fiscal quarter.

20.4 Partial Draws. Upon the occurrence of a monetary Event of Default under the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, make a partial draw on the Letter of Credit in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease then past due.

20.5 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 substitute Letter of Credit, Landlord shall release the previous Letter of Credit to Tenant.

20.6 Return of Letter of Credit. Upon termination of this Lease due to expiration of the Term and provided no Event of Default exists at such time, Landlord shall return all then outstanding letter(s) of credit to Tenant or, at the request of Tenant to the financial institution(s) issuing the same, for cancellation.

ARTICLE 21: QUIET ENJOYMENT, SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

21.1 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant performs all of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant’s possession of the Leased Property will not be disturbed by Landlord or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord.

21.2 Subordination. Subject to the terms and conditions of this section, this Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Lease are subordinate to any ground lease or underlying lease, first mortgage, first deed of trust, or other first lien against the Leased Property, together with any renewal, consolidation, extension, modification or replacement thereof, which now or at any subsequent time affects the Leased Property or any interest of Landlord in the Leased Property, except to the extent that any such instrument expressly provides that this Lease is superior. 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 reasonable documents as may be reasonably 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 nondisturbance provision as set forth in this section satisfactory to Tenant. Any mortgagee of the Leased Property shall be deemed to be bound by the nondisturbance provision set forth in this section.

21.3 Attornment. Subject to Section 21.2, if any holder of any mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, or other similar instrument described in §21.2 succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property, Tenant will pay to such holder all Rent subsequently payable

under this Lease without further consent or approval by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that 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 made after such date of succession 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 except if such claim relates to a default which is continuing as of and following the succession of such holder; 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 a reasonable and customary instrument or instruments confirming the attornment.

21.4 Estoppel Certificates. At the request of Landlord or Tenant (the “Requesting Party”), the other party (the “Certifying Party”) shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver an estoppel certificate, in customary and recordable form, in favor of the Requesting Party, or any mortgagee or purchaser of the Leased Property, the Leasehold Mortgagee, or assignee of the Requesting Party’s interest in the Lease certifying the following: [i] that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications; [ii] the date to which Rent and other charges have been paid; [iii] whether Tenant or Landlord is in default or whether there is any fact or condition which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default, and specifying any existing default, if any; [iv] that Tenant has accepted and occupies the Leased Property; [v] that the Certifying Party has no defenses, setoffs, deductions, credits, or counterclaims against the Requesting Party, if that be the case, or specifying such that exist; and [vi] such other information as may reasonably be requested by the Requesting Party or any mortgagee, purchaser or assignee. Any purchaser, assignee or mortgagee (including without limitation, the Leasehold Mortgagee) may rely on this estoppel certificate. If the Certifying Party fails to deliver the estoppel certificates to the Requesting Party within 20 days after the request of the Requesting Party, then the Certifying Party shall be deemed to have certified that [a] the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified, or that the Lease has been modified as set forth in the certificate delivered to the Certifying Party; [b] Tenant has not prepaid any Rent or other charges except for the current month; [c] Tenant has accepted and occupies the Leased Property; [d] neither Tenant nor Landlord is in default nor is there any fact or condition which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default; and [e] the Certifying Party has no defenses, setoffs, deductions, credits, or counterclaims against the Requesting Party.

ARTICLE 22: RESERVED

ARTICLE 23: LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE

23.1 Notice to Landlord. Tenant may mortgage Tenant’s interest in the Leased Property to a Lender in accordance with the terms of this Lease; provided that, the Leased Property shall have no more than two Leasehold Mortgages in place at any time. Landlord acknowledges that because the Leased Property includes parcels located in multiple counties that multiple mortgage documents evidencing the single grant of each Leasehold Mortgage may be

recorded. If the holder of the Leasehold Mortgage shall provide Landlord with a true copy of the Leasehold Mortgage and the name and address of the Leasehold Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined), Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of this section shall apply in respect to the Leasehold Mortgage. In the event of any assignment of a Leasehold Mortgage or in the event of a change of address of a Leasehold Mortgagee or of an assignee of the Leasehold Mortgage, notice of the new name and address shall be provided to Landlord.

23.2 [Intentionally deleted.]

23.3 Consent of Leasehold Mortgagee Required. No cancellation or surrender (other than a termination following the occurrence of an Event of Default) of this Lease shall be effective as to the Leasehold Mortgagee without the prior written consent of such Leasehold Mortgagee.

23.4 Lease Notices. Landlord, upon providing Tenant any notice of: (a) default under this Lease or (b) a termination of this Lease, shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to the Leasehold Mortgagee. If Tenant does not cure the default within the time period provided under this Lease, or if there is no cure period, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall have an additional period of [i] thirty (30) days thereafter for remedying any default or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice other than Rent defaults or causing the same to be remedied provided that such defaults are capable of being cured by the Leasehold Mortgagee or on behalf of the Leasehold Mortgagee or [ii] fifteen (15) days to remedy any Rent defaults which are the subject matter of such default notice specified in any such default notice. Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of the Leasehold Mortgagee as if the same had been performed by Tenant. Tenant authorizes each Leasehold Mortgagee to take any such action at the Leasehold Mortgagee’s option and does hereby authorize entry upon the Leased Property by the Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose. If the Leasehold Mortgagee has failed to cure Tenant’s default or failed to exercise its rights under §23.7 within the above-mentioned time period, Landlord may exercise its rights and remedies specified in Article 8 hereunder, including termination of this Lease.

23.5 Notice of Default; Notice of Intention to Exercise Remedies. If Tenant is in default under its obligations to Lender, Lender shall give notice of such default to Landlord. In addition, if the Leasehold Mortgagee intends to commence taking steps to acquire or sell Tenant’s interest in this Lease by foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage or other appropriate means, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall provide Landlord notice of the same prior to commencement thereof and shall prosecute the same to completion with due diligence.

23.6 No Assumption of Obligations by Lender. For the purposes of this Article 23, the making of a Leasehold Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or Transfer of this Lease or of the leasehold estate hereby created, nor shall any Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the leasehold estate hereby created so as to require the Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder but the purchaser at any sale of this Lease and of the leasehold estate hereby created in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee of this Lease and of the leasehold estate hereby created under any instrument of assignment or

transfer in lieu of the foreclosure of any Leasehold Mortgage, shall be deemed to be an assignee or transfer within the meaning of this §23.6, and shall be deemed to have agreed to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder from and after the date of such purchase and assignment. Prior to any such purchase or assignment pursuant to a foreclosure or similar proceeding, or any transaction in lieu thereof, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall notify Landlord of the proposed transferee. Subject to any state or other governmental requirements, Landlord’s consent shall be required for any sale or assignment but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For purposes of this section, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to take into consideration whether the proposed transferee (1) shall be a creditworthy entity with sufficient financial stability to satisfy its financial obligations under the Lease, (2) shall have (or the majority of its senior managers shall have) not less than four (4) years experience in operating health care facilities for the purpose of the applicable Facility’s Primary Intended Use, (3) has a favorable business and operational (including quality of care) reputation and character in the industry, (4) does not create operator concentration issues in connection with Landlord’s overall investment portfolio, and (5) shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder from and after the date of such purchase and assignment. Leasehold Mortgagee shall also provide Landlord an original counterpart of each such purchase and sale agreement or instrument of assignment or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any Leasehold Mortgage, duly executed by Tenant and such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be, in the form and substance satisfactory to Landlord.

23.7 New Lease. In the event of the termination of this Lease for any reason or if Lender chooses not to cure the default under §23.4, Landlord agrees to enter into a single new lease (“New Lease”) of the Leased Property with a tenant designated by Lender (“New Tenant”) for the remainder of the Term of this Lease, effective as of the date of termination, at the Base Rent and Additional Rent, and upon such other terms, covenants and conditions (including all options to renew and to purchase but excluding requirements which are not applicable or which have already been fulfilled) identical to this Lease; provided:

(a) The Leasehold Mortgagee shall make written request upon Landlord for such New Lease and inform Landlord of the proposed New Tenant during the cure period set forth in §23.4.

(b) Landlord approves the proposed New Tenant which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but subject to such considerations as are set forth in §23.6.

(c) At the time of the execution and delivery of such New Lease, the Leasehold Mortgagee or the New Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord [i] any and all sums which would at the time of execution and delivery thereof be due pursuant to this Lease but for such termination; [ii] all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which Landlord shall have incurred by reason of such termination and the execution and delivery of the New Lease and which have not otherwise been received by Landlord from Tenant or other party in interest under Tenant; and [iii] the amount of the outstanding straightline rent receivable accrued by Landlord under this Lease.

(d) The Leasehold Mortgagee or the New Tenant shall agree to remedy any of Tenant’s defaults which are reasonably susceptible of being so cured by Leasehold Mortgagee or the New Tenant.

(e) The New Tenant under such New Lease shall have the same right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property and the buildings and improvements thereon as Tenant had under this Lease.

(f) The New Tenant under any such New Lease shall be liable to perform the obligations imposed on Tenant by such New Lease only during the period such New Tenant under such New Lease has ownership of such leasehold estate.

23.8 [Intentionally deleted.]

23.9 Legal Proceedings. Landlord shall give each Leasehold Mortgagee prompt notice of any legal proceedings between Landlord and Tenant involving obligations under this Lease. Each Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the right to intervene in any such proceedings and be made a party to such proceedings, and the parties hereto do hereby consent to such intervention. In the event that any Leasehold Mortgagee shall not elect to intervene or become a party to any such proceedings, Landlord shall give the Leasehold Mortgagee notice of, and a copy of any decision made in, any such proceedings, which shall be binding on all Leasehold Mortgagees not intervening after receipt of notice of such proceedings.

23.10 Future Amendments. Landlord agrees to not unreasonably withhold its consent to amend this Lease to the extent reasonably requested by Lender, provided that such proposed amendments do not adversely affect the rights of Landlord or its interest in the Leased Property. All reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such amendment shall be paid by Tenant.

23.11 Non-Disturbance. At the Leasehold Mortgagee’s request, Landlord shall execute a written non-disturbance agreement with Tenant and the Leasehold Mortgagee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Leasehold Mortgagee and Landlord.

23.12 Notices. Notices from Landlord to the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be mailed to the address furnished Landlord pursuant to Section 23.1 and those from the Leasehold Mortgagee to Landlord shall be mailed to the address designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 24.1 hereof. Such notices, demands and requests shall be given in the manner described in Section 24.1 and shall in all respects be governed by the provisions of that section.

23.13 Erroneous Payments. No payment made to Landlord by the Leasehold Mortgagee shall constitute agreement that such payment was, in fact, due under the terms of this Lease; and the Leasehold Mortgagee having made any payment to Landlord pursuant to Landlord’s wrongful, improper or mistaken notice or demand shall be entitled to the return of any such payment or portion thereof provided such Leasehold Mortgagee shall have made demand therefor not later than three (3) months after the date of its payment.

ARTICLE 24: MISCELLANEOUS

Any notices meeting the requirements of this section shall be effective, regardless of whether or not actually received. Landlord or Tenant may change its notice address at any time by giving the other party notice of such change.

24.2 Advertisement of Leased Property. In the event the parties hereto have not executed a renewal Lease within 120 days prior to the expiration of this Lease, or Tenant has not exercised its Option to Purchase, then Landlord or its agent shall have the right to enter the Leased Property upon three (3) days prior written notice at all reasonable times and without unreasonable interference to Tenant’s business for the purpose of exhibiting the Leased Property to others and to place upon the Leased Property for and during the period commencing 120 days prior to the expiration of this Lease, “for sale” or “for rent” notices or signs.

24.3 Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representations, warranties, and agreements have been made by Landlord except as set forth in this Lease. No oral agreements or understandings between Landlord and Tenant shall survive execution of this Lease.

24.4 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease is held or deemed by Landlord to be invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the remainder of this Lease and the same shall remain in full force and effect, unless such holding substantially deprives Tenant of the use of the Leased Property or Landlord of the rents herein reserved, in which event this Lease shall forthwith terminate as if by expiration of the Term.

24.5 Captions and Headings. The captions and headings are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Lease or the intent of any provision hereof.

24.6 Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, except as to matters under which the laws of a State in which a respective Facility is located, or under applicable procedural conflicts of laws rules, require the application of laws of such other State, in which case the laws or conflicts of laws rules, as the case may be, of such State shall govern to the extent required.

24.7 Memorandum of Lease. Tenant shall not record this Lease. Tenant shall, however, record a memorandum of lease substantially in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit F.

24.8 Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any condition or covenant herein contained, or of any breach of any such condition or covenant, shall be held or taken to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of such covenant or condition, or to permit or excuse its continuance or any future breach thereof or of any condition or covenant, nor shall the acceptance of Rent by Landlord at any time when Tenant or Affiliate Subtenant is in default in the performance or observance of any condition or covenant herein be construed as a waiver of such default, or of Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease or exercise any other remedy granted herein on account of such existing default.

24.9 Binding Effect. This Lease will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, personal representatives, and permitted assigns of Landlord, Tenant and Affiliate Subtenant.

24.10 No Offer. Landlord’s submission of this Lease to Tenant is not an offer to lease the Leased Property, or an agreement by Landlord to reserve the Leased Property for Tenant. Neither Landlord nor Tenant will be bound to the other until Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate original leases to Landlord, and Landlord has duly executed and delivered one of these duplicate original leases to Tenant.

24.11 Modification. This Lease may only be modified by a writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant. All references to this Lease, whether in this Lease or in any other document or instrument, shall be deemed to incorporate all amendments, modifications and renewals of this Lease, made after the date hereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Landlord’s evaluation of Tenant’s request, the preparation of any documents and amendments, the subsequent amendment of any documents between Landlord and its collateral pool lenders (if applicable), and all related matters.

24.12 Landlord’s Modification. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may mortgage the Leased Property or use the Leased Property as collateral for collateralized mortgage obligations or Real Estate Mortgage Investment Companies (REMICS). If any mortgage lender of Landlord desires any modification of this Lease, Tenant agrees to consider such modification in good faith and to execute an amendment of this Lease if Tenant finds such modification acceptable, provided that Tenant shall not be required to modify the lease in any way which increases its monetary obligations or materially decreases any of its rights.

24.13 No Merger. The surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the cancellation of this Lease by agreement of Tenant and Landlord or the termination of this Lease on account of Tenant’s default will not work a merger, and will, at Landlord’s option, terminate any subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any subleases. Landlord’s option under this paragraph will be exercised by notice to Tenant and all known subtenants of the Leased Property.

24.14 Laches. No delay or omission by either party hereto to exercise any right or power accruing upon any noncompliance or default by the other party with respect to any of the terms hereof shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof.
