1.6.3 Compliance with Assumed Leases; Rent Payments Thereunder.

(a) Tenant’s Obligations. In addition to its other obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby agrees to timely comply with each and every term applicable to the tenant under the Assumed Lease without notice or demand therefor by Landlord or the landlord under the Assumed Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any and all amounts payable by tenant under the terms of the Assumed Lease, including rent, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and shall be deemed included in the definition of “Impositions” as set forth in this Lease. Such amounts shall be in addition to all amounts payable under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of §3.1 of the Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the first day of each month a sum equal to the amount of any payment required under the Assumed Lease in the month next succeeding the month in which such payment is made to Landlord. Such sums shall be used by Landlord toward timely payment of such required payments. Tenant, on demand, shall pay to Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the obligations arising under the Assumed Lease.

(b) Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord covenants, agrees and warrants to Tenant that Landlord will [i] not take any actions or fail to take any actions that Tenant is unable to take for Landlord, that would cause a default under the Assumed Lease; [ii] promptly deliver to Tenant copies of all notices and other documents received or given by the lessor under the Assumed Lease relating to a failure to comply with the terms of the Assumed Lease; and [iii] not amend or modify the term of the Assumed Lease to be less than the Term of this Lease (as may be extended from time to time). Landlord will indemnify Tenant and hold Tenant harmless from and against all damages caused to Tenant by reason of a monetary default under the Assumed Lease not caused by Tenant, provided that Tenant has timely deposited with Landlord all amounts required to be paid under the Assumed Lease.

(c) Tenant Liability under Assumed Lease. Landlord and Tenant expressly agree that the liabilities and obligations under the Assumed Lease during the Term of this Lease shall be obligations of Tenant to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no direct obligations to the Landlord under the Assumed Lease. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit any obligation relating to the Assumed Lease and agreed to by Tenant under the terms of this Lease.

1.6.4 Termination or Expiration of Assumed Lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of §1.3 hereof, if Landlord’s rights to the San Antonio Facility are terminated under the Assumed Lease, then the Term of this Lease shall be deemed terminated with respect to the

San Antonio Facility. Nothing in this §1.6.4 shall cause the Base Rent payable hereunder to be reduced nor the Investment Amount to be deemed reduced.

1.6.5 Remedies. In addition to the remedies provided for in §8.2 hereof, Landlord shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Lease or any Lease Document, to accelerate the payment of any or all amounts then or thereafter payable by tenant or lessee under the terms of the applicable Assumed Lease, including rent (“Assumed Lease Rent”) and Tenant shall be liable for the present value of the Assumed Lease Rent, discounted at an annual rate equal to the then-current U.S. Treasury Note rate for the closest comparable term.

1.6.6 Renewal Option. Notwithstanding the provisions of §12.1(b) hereof, for so long as the Assumed Lease relating to the San Antonio Facility is outstanding, Tenant shall be obligated to give Landlord irrevocable notice of renewal of this Lease no later than the date which is 60 days prior to the time that the Assumed Lease requires Landlord to exercise the next occurring renewal option thereunder.

In addition, if an Event of Default occurs and while it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s election, 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 other than for real estate taxes, which sums shall be used by Landlord toward payment of such Impositions. Tenant, on demand, shall pay to Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this section. 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. If an Event of Default occurs and while it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s election, deposit with Landlord on the first day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the amount of the annual utility expenses for the preceding twelve months, which sums shall be used by Landlord to pay such utilities. Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord any additional amount needed to pay such utilities. Landlord’s receipt of such payments shall only be an accommodation to Tenant and the utility companies and shall not constitute rent or income to Landlord. Tenant shall at all times maintain that amount of heat necessary to ensure against the freezing of water lines. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any liability or damages to the utility systems and the Leased Property that may result from Tenant’s failure to maintain sufficient heat in the Improvements.

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.

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] in the event that any such contest shall involve a sum of money or potential loss in excess of $50,000.00, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and its counsel an opinion of Tenant’s counsel to the effect set forth in clauses [i], [ii] and [iii], to the extent applicable and Tenant’s counsel can reasonably render such opinion with appropriate qualifications and limitations; [v] in the case of a Legal Requirement and/or an Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge, Tenant shall give such reasonable security as may be demanded by Landlord to insure ultimate payment of the same and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the affected Leased Property or the Rent by reason of such nonpayment or noncompliance; provided, however, 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; [vi] in the case of an insurance requirement, the coverage required by Article 4 shall be maintained; and [vii] 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. 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.

Tenant shall, in connection with each annual policy renewal, deliver to Landlord a redetermination of the full replacement value by the insurer or an endorsement indicating that the Leased Property is insured for its full replacement value. If Tenant makes any Permitted Alterations (as hereinafter defined) to the Leased Property, Landlord may have such full replacement value redetermined at any time after such Permitted 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.

4.7 No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Article, or increase the amounts of any then existing insurance, by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including Landlord and any mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds or loss payees, the loss is payable under said insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this Lease, and such additional insurance is not prohibited by the existing policies of insurance. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the taking out of such separate insurance or the increasing of any of the amounts of the existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies.

4.8 Waiver of Subrogation. Each party hereto hereby waives any and every claim which arises or may arise in its favor and against the other party hereto during the Term for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property located within or upon, or constituting a part of, the Leased Property, which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance policies, to the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such policies. 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 Tenant’s defense of any such action.

5.1.2 Survival of Covenants. The covenants of Tenant contained in this section shall remain in full force and effect after the termination of this Lease until the expiration of the period stated in the applicable statute of limitations during which a claim or cause of action may be brought and payment in full or the satisfaction of such claim or cause of action and of all expenses and charges incurred by Landlord relating to the enforcement of the provisions herein specified.

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 in good faith 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. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all 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.

If Landlord and Tenant mutually agree using their reasonable business judgment that there is an alternative healthcare use for a Facility that reasonably can be expected to provide sustainable Net Operating Income in excess of the Net Operating Income provided by the current Facility Use, then Landlord and Tenant will mutually agree to an alternative Facility Use for that Facility.

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.

(h) Tenant, any Subtenant, any Guarantor or LCI Holding Company, Inc. defaults on any indebtedness or obligation to Landlord or any agreement with Landlord including, without limitation, any lease with Landlord or any Disbursing Agreement, or the occurrence of a default under any Material Obligation, and any applicable grace or cure period with respect to default under such indebtedness or obligation expires without such default having been cured.

8.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease or any Lease Document, and at any time thereafter until Landlord waives the default in writing or acknowledges cure of the default in writing, at Landlord’s option, without declaration, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of default, notice to quit or any other notice or demand of any kind, Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies provided in this Lease or any Lease Document 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 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.

(d) Landlord may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the books and records and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other returns of Tenant insofar as they pertain to the Leased Property.

(e) Landlord may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent hereunder 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 Tenant’s incremental borrowing rate as of the Effective Date.

(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) Landlord may exercise the Option to Purchase Tenant Assets as set forth in §15.9.1, except that notice of the exercise of the Option to Purchase Tenant Assets may be given by Landlord at any time no later than 90 days after an Event of Default (as extended by any applicable cure period, if any).

(h) 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.

(i) Landlord may terminate its obligation, if any, to disburse any further Landlord Payments.

(j) Landlord may enter and take possession of the Land or any portion thereof and any one or more Facilities without terminating this Lease and complete construction and renovation of the Improvements (or any part thereof) and perform the obligations of Tenant under the Lease Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant hereby appoints HCN its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to do any of the following: [i] complete construction, renovation and equipping of the Improvements in the name of Tenant; [ii] use unadvanced funds remaining under the Investment Amount or Maximum Contingent Payments Amount, as applicable, or funds that may be reserved, escrowed, or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the Investment Amount or Maximum Contingent Payments Amount, as applicable, to complete the Improvements; [iii] make changes in the plans and specifications that shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in substantially the manner contemplated by the plans and specifications; [iv] retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; [v] pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Facility or security interest against fixtures or equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction and equipping of the Improvements or for the clearance of title; [vi] execute all applications and certificates, in the name of Tenant, that may be required in connection with any construction; [vii] do any and every act that Tenant might do in its own behalf, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements; and [viii] to execute, deliver and file all applications and other documents and take any and all actions necessary to transfer the operations of the Facility to Landlord or Landlord’s designee. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked; provided, however, it expires upon expiration of all obligations of Tenant under the Lease.

(k) Landlord may apply, with or without notice to Tenant, for the appointment of a receiver (“Receiver”) for Tenant or Tenant’s business or for the Leased Property. Unless prohibited by law, such appointment may be made either before or after termination of Tenant’s possession of the Leased Property, without notice, without regard to the

solvency or insolvency of Tenant at the time of application for such Receiver and without regard to the then value of the Leased Property, and Landlord or Landlord’s designee may be appointed as Receiver. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to appointment of a receiver as a matter of right and without the need to make any showing other than the existence of an Event of Default. The Receiver shall have the power to collect the rents, income, profits and Receivables of the Leased Property during the pendency of the receivership and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Leased Property during the whole of said proceeding. All sums of money received by the Receiver from such rents and income, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement thereof, shall be applied to the payment of the Rent or any other monetary obligation of Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, any losses or damages incurred by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant, if requested to do so, will consent to the appointment of any such Receiver as aforesaid.

(l) Landlord may terminate any management agreement with respect to any of the Leased Property and shall have the right to retain one or more managers for the Leased Property at the expense of Tenant, such manager(s) to serve for such term and at such compensation as Landlord reasonably determines is necessary under the circumstances.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 8.2(e), (f) and (g) above, the Rent to be paid by Tenant following an Event of Default shall not exceed 90% of the fair market value of the Facility measured as of the Effective Date.

8.3 Right of Setoff. Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant to, at any time and from time to time without advance notice to Tenant (any such notice being expressly waived by Tenant), 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 which Tenant has failed to perform within five days after Landlord has sent a written notice to Tenant informing it of its specific failure. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional Rent, for any reasonable expenditures thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at Landlord’s rate of return as provided in the Term Sheet.

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 18.5% 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. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord’s rights under this Lease, whether or not an Event of Default has actually occurred or has been declared and thereafter cured, 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, whether in-house counsel or 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 Reserved.

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, [iii] any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease, [iv] any objections, defenses, claims or rights with respect to the exercise by Landlord of any rights or remedies, [v] any right of redemption whether pursuant to statute, at law or in equity, [vi] all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protest, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices to quit and any other notice or demand of any kind, and [vii] all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of any obligation or advance under this Lease before or after this date.

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 $100,000.00 (a “Casualty”), Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within one Business Day after the occurrence of the Casualty. Within 15 days after the occurrence of the Casualty or as soon thereafter as such information is reasonably available to Tenant, Tenant shall provide the following information to Landlord: [i] the date of the Casualty; [ii] the nature of the Casualty; [iii] a description of the damage or destruction caused by the Casualty, including the type of Leased Property damaged and the area of the Improvements damaged; [iv] a preliminary estimate of the cost to repair, rebuild, restore or replace the Leased Property; [v] a preliminary estimate of the schedule to complete the repair, rebuilding, restoration or replacement of the Leased Property; [vi] a description of the anticipated property insurance claim, including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date; and [vii] a description of the business interruption claim, including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date. Within five days after request from Landlord, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all correspondence to the insurer and any other information reasonably requested by Landlord.

9.2 Substantial Destruction.

9.2.1 If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed at any time other than during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Tenant shall promptly rebuild and restore such Improvements in accordance with §9.4 and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such restoration, which insurance proceeds will be disbursed in accordance with the terms substantially similar to those in the Disbursing Agreement. The term “substantially destroyed” means any casualty resulting in the loss of use of 50% or more of the licensed beds at any one Facility.

9.2.2 If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Leased Property and retain the insurance proceeds unless Tenant exercises its option to renew as set forth in §9.2.3. If Landlord elects to terminate, Landlord shall give notice (“Termination Notice”) of its election to terminate this Lease within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of the damage. If Tenant does not exercise its option to renew under §9.2.3 within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice, this Lease shall terminate

on the 15^th day after delivery of the Termination Notice. If this Lease is so terminated, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other obligations accrued under this Lease through the effective date of termination.

9.2.3 If any Facility’s Improvements are substantially destroyed during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term and Landlord gives the Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease with respect to the entire Leased Property (but not any part thereof). Tenant shall give Landlord irrevocable notice of Tenant’s election to renew within 15 days after delivery of the Termination Notice. If Tenant elects to renew, the Renewal Term will be in effect for the balance of the then current Term plus a 15 -year period. The Renewal Term will commence on the third day following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of renewal. All other terms of this Lease for the Renewal Term shall be in accordance with Article 12. The Improvements will be restored by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 regarding partial destruction.

9.3 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 make the Leased Property at least equal in value to the Leased Property existing immediately prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar to it in character as is practicable and reasonable. Before beginning such repairs or rebuilding, or letting any contracts in connection with such repairs or rebuilding, Tenant will submit for Landlord’s approval, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay, plans and specifications meeting the requirements of §16.2 for such repairs or rebuilding. Promptly after receiving Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications and receiving the proceeds of insurance, Tenant will begin such repairs or rebuilding and will prosecute the repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however, to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, and other causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable control. Landlord will make available to Tenant the net proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance paid to Landlord for such repair or rebuilding as the same progresses, after deduction of any costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees. Payments will be made against properly certified vouchers of a competent architect in charge of the work and approved by Landlord. Payments for deposits for the repairing or rebuilding or delivery of materials to the Facility will be made upon Landlord’s receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that such payments are required in advance. Prior to commencing the repairing or rebuilding, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord’s approval a schedule setting forth the estimated monthly draws for such work. Landlord will contribute to such payments out of the insurance proceeds an amount equal to the proportion that the total net amount received by Landlord from insurers bears to the total estimated cost of the rebuilding or repairing, multiplied by the payment by Tenant on account of such work. Landlord may, however, withhold 10% from each payment until the work is completed and proof has been furnished to Landlord that no lien or liability has attached or will attach to the Leased Property or to Landlord in connection with such repairing or rebuilding. Upon the completion of rebuilding and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of the net proceeds of such insurance payable to Tenant on account of such repairing or rebuilding will be paid to Tenant. Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary or final certificate of

occupancy before the damaged Leased Property is reoccupied for any purpose. Tenant shall complete such repairs or rebuilding free and clear of mechanic’s or other liens, and in accordance with the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, or orders of any state, municipal, or other public authority affecting the repairs or rebuilding, and also in accordance with all requirements of the insurance rating organization, or similar body. Any remaining proceeds of insurance after such restoration will be Tenant’s property.

9.5 Insufficient Proceeds. If the proceeds of any insurance settlement are not sufficient to pay the costs of Tenant’s repair, rebuilding or restoration under §9.4 in full, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord at Landlord’s option, and within 10 days of Landlord’s request, an amount sufficient in Landlord’s and Tenant’s reasonable judgment to complete such repair, rebuilding or restoration. Tenant shall not, by reason of the deposit or payment, be entitled to any reimbursement from Landlord or diminution in or postponement of the payment of the Rent.

9.6 Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds paid to Landlord as herein provided shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 9. Tenant expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment or value, of the Leased Property from any casualty whatsoever, whether or not insurable or insured against.

9.7 Landlord’s Inspection. During the progress of such repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers may, from time to time, inspect the Leased Property and will be furnished, if required by them, with copies of all plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating to such repairs or rebuilding. Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and specifications at the building, and Landlord and its architects and engineers may examine them at all reasonable times. If, during such repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers determine that the repairs or rebuilding are not being done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, Landlord will give prompt notice in writing to Tenant, specifying in detail the particular deficiency, omission, or other respect in which Landlord claims such repairs or rebuilding do not accord with the approved plans and specifications. Upon the receipt of any such notice, Tenant will cause corrections to be made to any deficiencies, 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.

ARTICLE 10: CONDEMNATION

10.1 Total Taking. If, by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right (“Taking”), any entire Facility Property is taken, or so much of any Facility Property is taken that the Facility Property cannot be used by Tenant for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then this Lease will end with respect to such Facility Property only on the earlier of the vesting of title to the Facility Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of the Facility Property by the condemning authority. Upon such termination, the Investment Amount shall be reduced by the actual net award for such Taking received by Landlord and Rent hereunder shall be reduced accordingly unless there is only one Facility Property subject to this Lease in which case the Lease will terminate. 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. 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, provided Tenant shall be entitled to file a claim for all amounts permitted Tenant under applicable law.

10.1.1 If any Facility Property is taken during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease with respect to all Leased Property.

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 will be adjusted accordingly in a fair and equitable manner; [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] upon completion of the restoration, Landlord will pay Tenant the lesser of the net award made to Landlord on the account of the Taking (after deducting from the total award, attorneys’, appraisers’, and other fees and costs incurred in connection with the obtaining of the award and amounts paid to the holders of mortgages secured by the Facility Property), or Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket costs of restoring the Facility Property; and [iv] Landlord shall be entitled to the balance of the net award to be applied to any outstanding Obligor Obligation. 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. All fixtures, furniture, equipment, inventory, and other Personal Property installed, placed, or used on the Leased Property which is owned by Tenant or leased by Tenant from third parties or parties affiliated with Tenant is hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Property”.

11.2 Requirements for Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall comply with all of the following requirements in connection with Tenant’s Property:

(a) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain, repair, and replace Tenant’s Property.

(b) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep Tenant’s Property insured against loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, earthquake, and other physical loss perils commonly covered by fire and extended coverage, boiler and machinery, and difference in conditions insurance in an amount not less than 90% of the then full replacement cost thereof. Tenant shall use the proceeds from any such policy for the repair and replacement of Tenant’s Property to the extent needed to operate the Facility in accordance with the terms set forth herein. The insurance shall meet the requirements of §4.3.

(d) If Tenant’s Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, Tenant shall promptly repair or replace Tenant’s Property unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to §9.2.2.

(e) Unless an Event of Default or any event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred, Tenant may remove Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property from time to time provided that [i] the items removed are not required to operate the Leased Property for the Facility Uses (unless such items are being replaced by Tenant); and [ii] Tenant repairs any damage to the Leased Property resulting from the removal of Tenant’s Property.

(f) Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord or as otherwise provided in this Lease, remove any Tenant’s Property or Leased Property. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, remove Tenant’s Property upon the termination or expiration of this Lease and shall repair any damage to the Leased Property resulting from the removal of Tenant’s Property. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s Property within 30 days after request by Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s Property shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may remove, store and dispose of Tenant’s Property. In such event, Tenant shall have no claim or right against Landlord for such property or the value thereof regardless of the disposition thereof by Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, all expenses incurred by Landlord in removing, storing, and disposing

of Tenant’s Property and repairing any damage caused by such removal. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

(g) Tenant shall perform its obligations under any equipment lease or security agreement for Tenant’s Property. For equipment loans or leases for equipment having an original cost in excess of $150,000.00, Tenant shall cause such equipment lessor or lender to enter into a nondisturbance agreement with Landlord upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Landlord, including, without limitation, the following: [i] Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume such equipment lease or security agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder; [ii] such equipment lessor or lender shall notify Landlord of any default by Tenant under the equipment lease or security agreement and give Landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure such default; and [iii] Landlord shall have the right to assign its interest in the equipment lease or security agreement and nondisturbance agreement. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in reviewing and approving the equipment lease, security agreement and nondisturbance agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

ARTICLE 12: RENEWAL OPTIONS

12.1 Renewal Options. Tenant has the option to renew (“Renewal Option”) this Lease for one 14-year, 11-month renewal term (“Renewal Term”). Tenant can exercise the Renewal Option only upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) There shall be no uncured Event of Default, or any event which with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default (except that for this limited purpose, any unrepaired casualty or condemnation of a Facility shall not be an Event of Default prohibiting Tenant from exercising the Renewal Option), at the time Tenant exercises its Renewal Option nor on the date the Renewal Term is to commence.

(b) Tenant shall give Landlord irrevocable written notice of renewal no later than the date which is [i] 90 days prior to the expiration date of the then current Term; or [ii] 20 days after Landlord’s delivery of the Termination Notice as set forth in §9.2.3.

(c) Tenant shall pay all amounts, costs, expenses, charges, Rent and other items payable by Tenant to Landlord, including, but not limited to, enforcement costs as set forth in §8.7, and the Renewal Fee to Landlord on the Renewal Date.

12.2 Effect of Renewal. The following terms and conditions will be applicable if Tenant renews the Lease:

(a) Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided in §9.2.3, the effective date of any Renewal Term will be the first day after the expiration date of the then current Term. The first day of each Renewal Term is also referred to as the Renewal Date.

(b) Investment Amount. Effective as of the Renewal Date, a single Investment Amount will be computed by summing all Landlord Payments made to date.

(c) Rent Adjustment.

15.7.1 Definitions.

(a) “Net Worth” means an amount equal to the total consolidated fair market value of the tangible assets of the person (excluding good will and other intangible assets) minus the total consolidated liabilities of such person.

(b) “Portfolio Cash Flow” means the aggregate net income arising from all Stabilized Facilities under this Lease as reflected on the Facility Financial Statement of each Stabilized Facility plus [i] the amount of the provision for depreciation and amortization; plus [ii] the amount of the provision for management fees; plus [iii] the amount of the provision for income taxes; plus [iv] the amount of the provision for Base Rent payments and interest and equipment lease payments, if any, relating to the Stabilized Facilities; and minus [v] an imputed management fee equal to 5% of gross revenues of the Stabilized Facilities (net of contractual allowances).

(c) “Portfolio Coverage Ratio” is the ratio of [i] Portfolio Cash Flow for each applicable period; to [ii] the Base Rent payments under this Lease allocated to the

Stabilized Facilities for the applicable period plus interest and equipment lease payments, if any, relating to the Stabilized Facilities.

15.7.2 Coverage Ratio. Tenant and Subtenant, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain for each fiscal quarter a Portfolio Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.75 to 1.00, with the Portfolio Cover Ratio being tested on a quarterly basis based upon financial results for the most recent 12 month period. In addition, Tenant and Subtenant, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain for each fiscal quarter a Portfolio Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 with the Portfolio Coverage Ratio based upon financial results for the most recent period. The Portfolio Coverage Ratio shall be tested at the end of each fiscal quarter. Notwithstanding Section 8.1(b), if Tenant fails to maintain a Portfolio Coverage Ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter, such failure shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if Tenant increases the amount of the Letter of Credit to $2,250,000.00. Landlord will permit the Letter of Credit to be reduced to $750,000.00 upon receipt by Landlord of Periodic Financial Statements for Tenant evidencing that Tenant’s Portfolio Coverage Ratio exceeds 1.50 to 1.00 for four consecutive fiscal quarters and provided that no Events of Default have occurred and are continuing.

15.7.3 Net Worth. Guarantor shall maintain a Net Worth as specified in the Guaranty.

Tenant and Subtenant acknowledge that each has reviewed Exhibit E and agrees to the foregoing obligation.

15.9 Transfer of License and Facility Operations. If this Lease is terminated due to expiration of the Term, pursuant to an Event of Default, or if Tenant or Subtenant vacates the Leased Property (or any part thereof) without termination of this Lease, the following provisions shall be immediately effective:

15.9.1 Licensure and Tenant’s Property. Landlord and any replacement operator designated by Landlord (“Replacement Operator”) shall have the right and option to purchase from Tenant or Subtenant, as applicable, (“Option to Purchase Tenant Assets”) the Medicare provider agreement/number relating to a Facility (or any comparable agreement or right to receive payments under the federal Medicare program or any federal program implemented in lieu thereof or in addition thereto), and all of Tenant’s Property located at the Facility (individually and collectively, “Tenant Assets”). The purchase price for all of the Tenant Assets will be the fair market value thereof, with Landlord being entitled to a deduction equal to the

present value of the estimated amount of the rent Landlord is obligated to pay the landlord under each applicable Assumed Lease arising from a lease agreement with the Replacement Operator (“Replacement Operator Lease”) valued over a term that is comparable to the initial term of the Replacement Operator Lease at a discount rate equal to the rate of return to Landlord at the termination of this Lease. Landlord or the Replacement Operator, as applicable, will provide written notification to Tenant of its decision to exercise this Option to Purchase Tenant Assets no later than 45 days prior to the Expiration Date of the Lease, or if the Lease is terminated as a result of an Event of Default, then in accordance with the provisions of §8.2(g). Landlord or Replacement Operator, as applicable, will close the acquisition within 60 days of the determination of the purchase price (as computed above), subject to extensions to accommodate any required governmental or other regulatory approvals. Tenant and each Subtenant shall execute, deliver, and file all documents and statements reasonably requested by Landlord to effect the transfer of the Facility license and Government Authorizations (including any provider agreements or provider numbers if the same are acquired as provided above) to a Replacement Operator, subject to any required approval of governmental regulatory authorities, and Tenant and each Subtenant shall provide to Landlord all information and records required by Landlord in connection with the transfer of the license and Government Authorizations. Tenant and each Subtenant, if applicable, shall also execute and deliver to Landlord or a Replacement Operator a bill of sale with special warranties of title transferring the Tenant’s Property and any Tenant Assets for which a bill of sale is appropriate free and clear of all liens or encumbrances, and granting Landlord or a Replacement Operator, as applicable, immediate and exclusive possession of all Tenant Assets. Any Tenant Assets not included by Landlord in the Option to Purchase Tenant Assets shall be removed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense within 30 days after the Expiration Date. Any Tenant Assets not timely removed shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant, and/or Subtenant and may be disposed of by Landlord with no liability to Landlord for such disposal and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

15.9.2 Facility Operations. In order to facilitate a responsible and efficient transfer of the operations of the Facility, Tenant and Subtenant shall, if and to the extent requested by Landlord and subject to all applicable law and Tenant’s written requirements for strict confidentiality provided to Landlord, [i] deliver to Landlord the most recent updated reports, notices, schedules and documents listed on Exhibit E; [ii] continue and maintain the operation of the Facility in the ordinary course of business, to the fullest extent reasonably practicable and consistent with applicable laws and regulations, until transfer of the Facility operations to the Replacement Operator is completed; [iii] enter into such management agreements that include fair market value compensation for Tenant or Subtenant, operations transfer agreements and other types of agreements that may be reasonably requested by the Replacement Operator; and [iv] provide reasonable access for Landlord and its agents to show the Facility to potential replacement operators. Tenant and Subtenant consent to the distribution by Landlord to potential replacement operators of Facility financial statements, licensure reports, financial and property due diligence materials and other documents, materials and information relating to the Facility. The provisions of this section do not create or establish any rights in Tenant, Subtenant or any third party and Landlord reserves all rights and remedies relating to termination of this Lease.

15.10 Bed Operating Rights. Tenant and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that the rights to operate the beds located at the Facility as set forth on Exhibit C under the law of the

applicable Facility State [i] affect the value of the Leased Property, and [ii] the grant of this Lease is conditioned upon the existence of such rights. Tenant and Subtenant shall not relocate any licensed bed to any other location and shall not transfer any bed operating rights to any other party without the prior written consent of Landlord.

15.11 Power of Attorney. Effective upon [i] the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or [ii] termination of this Lease for any reason, Tenant and Subtenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoint Landlord, or Landlord’s authorized officer, agent, employee or designee, as Tenant’s and Subtenant’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to act for Tenant and Subtenant in Tenant’s and Subtenant’s respective name, place, and stead, to execute, deliver and file all applications and any and all other necessary documents and statements to effect the issuance, transfer, reinstatement, renewal and/or extension of the Facility license and all Governmental Authorizations issued to Tenant and Subtenant or applied for by Tenant and Subtenant in connection with Tenant’s and Subtenant’s operation of the Facility, to permit any designee of Landlord or any other transferee to operate the Facility under the Governmental Authorizations, and to do any and all other acts incidental to any of the foregoing. Tenant and Subtenant irrevocably and unconditionally grant to Landlord as their respective attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform every act necessary and proper to be done in the exercise of any of the foregoing powers as fully as Tenant and Subtenant might or could do if personally present or acting, with full power of substitution, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

15.12 Reserved.

Tenant grants to Landlord and Landlord’s Affiliates the perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide right and license to reproduce, use, prepare derivative works based upon, publish, distribute, and display, by any means and in any media, information describing, and photographic or other images depicting, the Leased Property and Facilities (but not the names of the Facilities or Tenant), units, rooms, amenities and special features and the Land, Improvements and Personal Property (the “Information and Images”). Without limiting the foregoing, such Information and Images may be reproduced, used, published, distributed, and displayed by Landlord and Landlord’s affiliates in any promotional or marketing materials, advertisements, reports, or web sites.

Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord if Tenant has knowledge that Tenant or any Affiliate becomes a Blocked Person or is otherwise listed on any OFAC List or [i] is convicted with respect to, [ii] pleads nolo contendere to, [iii] is indicted with respect to, or [iv] is arraigned and held over on charges involving, money laundering, predicate crimes to money laundering or any Anti-Terrorism Law. None of Tenant, Subtenant, Guarantor, Company or any Affiliate will, directly or indirectly, [a] conduct any business, or engage in any transaction or dealing, with any Blocked Person, including, without

limitation, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Blocked Person, [b] deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to any Anti-Terrorism Law, or [c] engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law.

ARTICLE 16: ALTERATIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND SIGNS

16.2 Approval of Alterations. If Tenant desires to perform any Permitted Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord plans, specifications, drawings, and such other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord (collectively the “Plans and Specifications”) showing in reasonable detail the scope and nature of the Alterations that Tenant desires to perform. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the level of detail 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.

(a) The Permitted Alterations shall be made in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications.

(b) The Permitted Alterations and the installation thereof shall comply with all applicable legal requirements and insurance requirements.

(c) The Permitted Alterations shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, shall not impair the value or the structural integrity of the Leased Property, and shall be free and clear of all mechanic’s liens.

(d) For any Permitted Alterations having a total cost of $150,000.00 or more, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a payment and performance bond, with a surety acceptable to Landlord, in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the Permitted Alterations, guaranteeing the completion of the work free and clear of liens and in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications, and naming Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord as joint obligees on such bond.

(e) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, obtain a builder’s completed value risk policy of insurance insuring against all risks of physical loss, including collapse and transit coverage, in a nonreporting form, covering the total value of the work performed, and equipment, supplies, and materials, and insuring initial occupancy. Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord shall be additional insureds of such policy. Landlord shall have the right to approve the form and substance of such policy.

(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.

(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.

16.5 Ownership and Removal of Permitted Alterations. The Permitted Alterations shall become a part of the Leased Property, owned by Landlord, and leased to Tenant subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall not be required or permitted to remove any Permitted Alterations.

16.6 Signs. Tenant may, at its own expense, erect and maintain identification signs at the Leased Property, provided such signs comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations. Upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, 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. Tenant may not assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, grant a right of first refusal or transfer any interest in this Lease, or in the Leased Property, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. The following transactions will be deemed an assignment or sublease requiring Landlord’s prior written consent: [i] an assignment by operation of law; [ii] an imposition (whether or not consensual) of a lien, mortgage, or encumbrance upon Tenant’s interest in the Lease; [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] 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, Tenant may enter into a Sublease with each Subtenant for each Facility provided that each Sublease complies with §18.2 and Tenant may grant a sublease, concession, or license within the Facility or on the Leased Property, without Landlord’s consent, to any entity providing services within the Facility or on the Leased Property to Tenant’s inpatients and employees including, without limitation, pharmacy, radiology, cafeteria and gift shop services; provided each agreement shall be in writing, a fully executed copy shall be provided to Landlord within 10 Business Days of execution, and each agreement shall expressly provide that such agreement terminates if and when the Lease terminates.

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 assignment, sublease, or management agreement, Tenant shall give Landlord [i] the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager; [ii] a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or management agreement; [iii] reasonably satisfactory information about the nature, business and business history of the proposed assignee, subtenant, or manager and its proposed use of the Leased Property; and [iv] banking, financial, and other credit information, and references about the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager. Any assignment, sublease or management agreement shall contain provisions to the effect that [a] such assignment, sublease or management agreement is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord and that the assignee, subtenant or manager shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Lease; [b] such assignment, sublease or management agreement may not be modified without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; [c] if this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such assignment, sublease or management agreement, the assignee, subtenant or manager thereunder will, solely at Landlord’s option and only upon the express written notice of attornment from Landlord, attorn to Landlord and waive any right the assignee, subtenant or

manager may have to terminate the assignment, sublease or management agreement or surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease; and [d] if the assignee, subtenant or manager receives a written notice from Landlord stating that Tenant is in default under this Lease, the assignee, subtenant or manager shall thereafter pay all rentals or payments under the assignment, sublease or management agreement directly to Landlord until such default has been cured. Any attempt or offer by an assignee, subtenant or manager to attorn to Landlord shall not be binding or effective without the express written consent of Landlord. Tenant hereby collaterally assigns to Landlord, as security for the performance of its obligations hereunder, all of Tenant’s right, title, and interest in and to any assignment, sublease or management agreement now or hereafter existing for all or part of the Leased Property. Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord, execute such other instruments or documents as Landlord may request to evidence this collateral assignment. If Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, consents to such assignment, sublease, or management agreement, such consent shall not be effective until [i] a fully executed copy of the instrument of assignment, sublease or management agreement has been delivered to Landlord; [ii] in the case of an assignment, Landlord has received a written instrument in which the assignee has assumed and agreed to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease; and [iii] Tenant has paid to Landlord a fee in the amount of $2,500.00 (applies only to consent requests after the Closing); and [iv] Landlord has received reimbursement from Tenant or the assignee for all attorneys’ fees and expenses and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with determining whether to give its consent, giving its consent and all matters relating to the assignment (applies only to consent requests after the Closing). Any lease affecting the HealthSouth Facilities that has been assigned to a Subtenant and for which such Subtenant has assumed the obligations of landlord thereunder shall be deemed to be a sublease made in complete accordance with Article 18.

18.3 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, provided the liability of the Landlord under this Lease is expressly assumed by such purchaser, 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.

18.4 Assignment by Landlord. Landlord may transfer, assign, mortgage, collaterally assign, or otherwise dispose of Landlord’s interest in this Lease or the Leased Property.

ARTICLE 19: HOLDOVER AND SURRENDER

19.1 Holding Over. If Tenant, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, continues to hold and occupy the Leased Property (or any part thereof) after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, 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 applicable Acquisition Date for acquired Facilities or the applicable Construction Funding Termination Date for Development Projects.

19.3 Indemnity. If Tenant fails to surrender the entire Leased Property or any part thereof upon the expiration or termination of this Lease in a timely manner and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord, its principals, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless from loss or liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, loss of rental with respect to any new lease in which the rental payable thereunder exceeds the Rent collected by Landlord pursuant to this Lease during Tenant’s 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. Tenant shall provide or cause Company to provide Landlord with the Letter of Credit at the Closing in the initial face amount of $750,000.00. Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit in favor of Landlord until the Obligor Group Obligations are performed in full. 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 Kroll Bond 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. Any such draw shall not cure an Event of Default, unless such draw is sufficient to cure all then outstanding Obligor Group Obligations and Tenant causes the Letter of Credit to be reinstated under §20.4. The proceeds from the Letter of Credit (“LC Proceeds”) shall be the sole property of Landlord and may be used, retained and invested by Landlord without restriction or limitation. Landlord shall have no obligation to account for its use of the LC Proceeds and Tenant shall have no interest in or claim against the LC Proceeds. Landlord shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to apply all or any portion of the LC Proceeds to pay all or any portion of [i] the Obligor Group Obligations; 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 Obligor Group Obligations, 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.

20.4 Partial Draws. Upon the occurrence of a monetary Event of Default under the Obligor Group Obligations, Landlord may, at its option, make a partial draw on the Letter of Credit in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Obligor Group Obligations then past due. If Landlord then applies the proceeds from such partial draw on the Letter of Credit to payment of all or any portion of the Obligor Group Obligations then past due, Tenant shall, within 10 days after notice from Landlord of such partial draw and payment, cause the amount of the Letter of Credit to be reinstated to the amount in effect prior to such partial draw. Tenant’s failure to

comply with the requirements of this section shall be an immediate Event of Default under the Lease Documents without any notice (other than as provided for in this section), cure or grace period. Landlord’s rights under this §20.4 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, Landlord’s rights under §20.3.

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 Retention of Letter of Credit. Upon termination of this Lease due to expiration of the Term, pursuant to an Event of Default or for any reason other than Tenant’s purchase of the Leased Property, Landlord shall be entitled to hold the Letter of Credit until the Obligor Group Obligations are performed in full or are released by Landlord and thereafter Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to the Issuer and release all rights thereto.

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 documents as may be requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other instrument described in this section, to confirm or effect any such subordination, provided that any such document shall include a 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. If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such document within 20 days after written demand, Landlord may execute acknowledge and deliver any such document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute,

acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any documents described in this section. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

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

21.4 Estoppel Certificates. At the request of Landlord or any mortgagee or purchaser of the Leased Property, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver an estoppel certificate, in recordable form, in favor of Landlord or any mortgagee or purchaser of the Leased Property 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 Tenant has no defenses, setoffs, deductions, credits, or counterclaims against Landlord, if that be the case, or specifying such that exist; and [vi] such other information as may reasonably be requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or purchaser. Any purchaser or mortgagee may rely on this estoppel certificate. If Tenant fails to deliver the estoppel certificates to Landlord within 10 days after the request of Landlord, then Tenant 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 Tenant; [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] Tenant has no defenses, setoffs, deductions, credits, or counterclaims against Landlord. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on Tenant’s behalf any estoppel certificate to which Tenant does not object within 10 days after Landlord sends the certificate to Tenant. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

ARTICLE 22: CONTINGENT PAYMENTS

22.1 Contingent Payments. Landlord shall make Contingent Payments to the extent set forth in this section. Tenant shall request each Contingent Payment by submitting a Contingent Payment Request to Landlord or in the case of Contingent Payments for Project Improvements, a Disbursement Voucher pursuant to the Disbursing Agreement.

Contingent Payments will be made not less than eight Business Days and not more than 12 Business Days following Tenant’s delivery of the Contingent Payment Request.

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, then Landlord or its agent shall have the right to enter the Leased Property at all reasonable times 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 approved by Landlord upon Landlord’s request.

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 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 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. Landlord will not be bound to Tenant 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. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any change in ownership, merger or consolidation of Company, Tenant, Subtenant or Entity Guarantor, any assumption of the Lease, or any modification of the Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord all relevant information and documents sufficient to enable Landlord to evaluate the request. In connection with any such request, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee in the amount of $2,500.00 and shall pay 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) as long as such mortgage does not cause an event of default under the Assumed Lease. 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.

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.

24.15 Limitation on Tenant’s Recourse. Tenant’s sole recourse against Landlord, and any successor to the interest of Landlord in the Leased Property, is to the interest of Landlord, and any such successor, in the Leased Property. Tenant will not have any right to satisfy any judgment which it may have against Landlord, or any such successor, from any other assets of Landlord, or any such successor. In this section, the terms “Landlord” and “successor” include the shareholders, venturers, and partners of “Landlord” and “successor” and the officers, directors, and employees of the same. The provisions of this section are not intended to limit Tenant’s right to seek injunctive relief or specific performance.

24.16 Construction of Lease. This Lease has been prepared by Landlord and its professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional advisors. Landlord, Tenant, and their advisors believe that this Lease is the product of all their efforts, that it expresses their agreement, and agree that it shall not be interpreted in favor of either Landlord or Tenant or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in preparing it.

24.17 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original hereof.

24.18 Landlord’s Consent. Whenever Landlord’s consent or permission is required under this Lease, such consent shall be in writing and shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

24.19 Custody of Escrow Funds. Any funds paid to Landlord in escrow hereunder may be held by Landlord or, at Landlord’s election, by a financial institution, the deposits or accounts of which are insured or guaranteed by a federal or state agency. The funds shall not be deemed to be held in trust, may be commingled with the general funds of Landlord or such other institution, and shall not bear interest.

24.20 Landlord’s Status as a REIT. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has elected and may hereafter elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code.

24.21 Exhibits. All of the exhibits referenced in this Lease are attached hereto and incorporated herein.

24.22 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LANDLORD, TENANT AND SUBTENANT WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER ON ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR THE USE AND OCCUPANCY OF THE LEASED PROPERTY (EXCEPT CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE). IF LANDLORD COMMENCES ANY SUMMARY PROCEEDING FOR NONPAYMENT OF RENT, TENANT AND SUBTENANT WILL NOT INTERPOSE, AND WAIVES THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE, ANY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.

24.23 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. TENANT AND SUBTENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING

JURISDICTION OVER LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO OR ANY COUNTY IN WHICH A FACILITY IS LOCATED FOR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO [I] THE TERM SHEET; [II] THIS LEASE; OR [III] ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY TENANT OR SUBTENANT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE. TENANT AND SUBTENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT TENANT AND SUBTENANT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. TENANT AND SUBTENANT AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

EXCEPT FOR MATTERS WHERE UNDER LOCAL LAW JURISDICTION IS EXCLUSIVE IN ANOTHER VENUE, TENANT AND SUBTENANT AGREE NOT TO INSTITUTE ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR PROPERTY OF LANDLORD, CONCERNING ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TERM SHEET, THIS LEASE OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO.

TENANT AND SUBTENANT HEREBY CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY LANDLORD IN ANY MANNER AND IN ANY JURISDICTION PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT OR IMPAIR LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST TENANT, SUBTENANT OR THE PROPERTY OF TENANT OR SUBTENANT IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

24.24 Attorney’s Fees and Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in administering this Lease and the security for this Lease, enforcing or preserving Landlord’s rights under this Lease and the security for this Lease, and in all matters of collection, whether or not an Event of Default has actually occurred or has been declared and thereafter cured, including, but not limited to, [a] reasonable attorney’s and paralegal’s fees and disbursements; [b] the fees and expenses of any litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership and any other similar proceeding; [c] court costs; [d] the expenses of Landlord, its employees, agents, attorneys and witnesses in preparing for litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency and other proceedings and for lodging, travel, and attendance at meetings, hearings, depositions, and trials; and [e] consulting and witness fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, Landlord’s internal bookkeeping and routine lease servicing costs are not payable by Tenant.

However, if despite the parties’ intent, it is determined or adjudged by a court for any reason that this Lease is not a true lease or if this Lease is recharacterized as a financing arrangement, then this Lease shall be considered a secured financing agreement and Landlord’s title to the Leased Property shall constitute a perfected first priority lien in Landlord’s favor on the Leased Property to secure the payment and performance of all the Obligor Group Obligations.
