RENT
RENT
During the Term, Tenant shall pay the Rent, including the Base Rent and all Additional Charges due hereunder, to NHI on behalf of Landlord, or to the appropriate governmental agency, as applicable, in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds. Any such payments to NHI shall be without right of offset, by wire transfer in accordance with the following instructions:

20
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
4.2 Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit as directed by Landlord, and Landlord shall hold, the amount of $21,275,000, (the “Security Deposit”), which shall serve as security for the performance by Tenant and Subtenants of the provisions of this Lease and shall not be deemed advance rent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord may use the Security Deposit, or any portion of it, to satisfy any outstanding obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall pay Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Security Deposit expended or applied by Landlord as provided in this Lease, within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord. At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant; provided, however, Landlord may retain an amount of the Security Deposit, as it shall reasonably determine, to secure the payment of any Rent, the amount of which Landlord is then unable to determine finally, or until Tenant confirms (by certificate or otherwise) expenditure by the Tenant of all amounts required under Section 7.1 (prorated as necessary in accordance with Section 7.1(c)) (and Landlord shall return any such retained amount to Tenant promptly following the final determination of such Rent amount and the full payment to Landlord of such Rent, or following confirmation of the expenditure of all amounts required under Section 7.1, as the case may be). The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord and, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with other assets of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit; provided, however, if at any time the landlord under this Lease is not an Approved Landlord, the foregoing deposits attributable to such Facility shall be segregated in a separate interest bearing account, and such deposit shall be held by the applicable landlord in trust for the benefit of Tenant.
4.3 Additional Charges/Late Payments. Except for property taxes for which funds may be escrowed and paid out as described in Section 5.4 hereof and subject to Tenant’s rights of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13, Tenant shall pay and discharge prior to delinquency all Impositions directly to the persons to whom such Impositions are owed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2, if Tenant fails or refuses to pay any Impositions, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may arise or accrue for the non-payment or late payment of such items. The aforementioned amounts, liabilities, obligations, Impositions, fines, penalties, interest and costs and any and all other amounts which Tenant may owe to Landlord or any governmental agency pursuant to the terms of this Lease are referred to herein as “Additional Charges.” The Additional Charges shall constitute rent hereunder. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any Encumbrance covering the Property. Accordingly, if any Rent (but as to Additional Charges, only those which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid on or before its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand, as an Additional Charge, a late charge (to the extent permitted by
21
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
law) equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount and, in such event, the parties hereby agree that such late charge will represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that there is a five (5) calendar day grace period for payment of Base Rent and that if payments are not made on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month, then the late charge shall be imposed. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies to which it may be entitled hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent payable to Landlord when due or within any applicable grace period thereafter, such Rent shall thereafter bear interest at the Overdue Rate until paid. Any payment by Tenant of Additional Charges to Landlord pursuant to any requirement of this Lease shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which such payment would otherwise be paid.
4.4 Triple Net Lease; No Set-off; Bankruptcy. It is the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that Tenant shall pay or discharge, as additional charges hereunder, any and all Impositions, charges, costs, interest, reimbursements, liabilities, expenses and obligations of any nature whatsoever in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property, excepting only (a) any payments for principal, interest, and premiums under any mortgage, security agreement, deed of trust or other Encumbrance Landlord may place upon all or any portion of the Property, (b) any costs actually incurred by Landlord for its own benefit with respect to the Property, such as costs for consultants or advisers retained by Landlord, provided that such costs (i) are not otherwise payable by Tenant hereunder, and (ii) do not, directly or indirectly, arise or grow out of or in connection with Tenant’s non-performance and/or non-compliance with any obligation, covenant, term or provision of this Lease and (c) those items specifically excluded from the definition of Impositions.
(a) No set-off of Rent. Landlord shall receive all Rent (but as to Additional Charges, only those which are payable directly to Landlord) due hereunder and Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant in all events, without notice or demand and without any set-off (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease), counterclaim, abatement, suspension, deduction or defense whatsoever. In addition to the Rent, except as set forth in the foregoing paragraph, Tenant shall pay to the parties respectively entitled thereto all Impositions (subject to Tenant’s rights to contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13), insurance premiums (as provided in Article 14), operating charges, maintenance charges, construction costs and any other charges, costs, interest, reimbursements, liabilities, expenses and obligations which arise with respect to the Property or which otherwise may be contemplated under any provisions of this Lease during the Term hereof. All of such charges, costs, interest, reimbursements, liabilities, expenses and obligations shall constitute Additional Charges, and upon the failure of Tenant to pay any such costs, charges, interest, reimbursements, liabilities, expenses or obligations and if such failure is not cured within the applicable cure period described in Section 17.1 hereof, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies
22
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
provided in this Lease. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, except as herein expressly provided, this Lease shall not be terminable for any reason by Tenant. Any present or future law to the contrary shall not alter this agreement of the parties.
(b) Bankruptcy. Except for exercising Tenant’s rights and prerogatives under Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or other applicable law, Tenant covenants and agrees that it will remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms, and that Tenant will not take any action to terminate, rescind, or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any assignee of Landlord in any such proceeding and notwithstanding any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of Landlord or any such assignee in any such proceeding or by any court in any such proceeding.
(1) In the event that Tenant shall file a petition, or an order for relief is entered against Tenant, under Chapter 7, 9, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and Tenant or the trustee of Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease whether or not for the purpose of assigning the same, and subject to the applicable provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, such assumption and assignment may only be made if all of the terms and conditions of subsections (2) and (3) hereof are satisfied.
(2) No election to assume this Lease shall be effective unless in writing and addressed to Landlord and unless all of the following conditions have been satisfied.
(A) The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured or has provided Landlord “adequate assurance” (as defined hereunder) that:
(i) within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption, the trustee (or debtor-in-possession) will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease; and

(C) The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with “adequate assurance” of the future performance of each of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease with respect to the Facilities; provided, however, that:
(i) the trustee or debtor-in-possession shall also deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of Rent, an amount equal to three (3) months of the then current Base Rent; and
(ii) the obligations imposed upon the trustee or debtor-in-possession shall continue with respect to Tenant after the completion of bankruptcy Proceedings.
(D) Landlord has determined that the assumption of the Lease will not:
(i) breach any provision in any agreement by which Landlord is bound relating to the Property or Landlord has obtained any consents or waivers required to ensure that no such breach occurs; or
(ii) disrupt, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the reputation and profitability of the Property.
(3) For purposes of this subsection 4.4(b)(3), “adequate assurance” shall mean:
(i) Landlord shall determine that the trustee or the debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets (other than by liens in favor of Landlord) after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that the trustee or debtor-in possession will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and
(ii) an order shall have been entered segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord and/or there shall have been granted a valid and perfected first lien and
24
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
security interest in property of Tenant, trustee or debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of the Trustee or debtor-in-possession to cure the monetary and/or non-monetary defaults under this Lease within the time periods set forth above.
(4) If the trustee or debtor-in-possession has assumed the Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of subsections (1) and (2) herein, for the purpose of assigning (or election to assign) Tenant’s interest under this Lease or the estate created thereby, to any other person, such interest or estate may be so assigned only if Landlord shall acknowledge in writing that the intended assignee has provided “adequate assurance” (which for purposes of this Section 4.4(b)(4) shall have the meaning set forth in this Section 4.4(b)(4)) of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. For purposes of this subsection 4.4(b)(4), adequate assurance of future performance shall mean that Landlord shall have ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(A) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement audited by independent certified public accountants of recognized standing in the state of Washington or any State selected by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord which shows a NTA Net Worth and working capital in amounts determined to be sufficient by Landlord to assure the future performance by such assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease;

(C) The assignee has deposited six months of Base Rent as an adequate security deposit with Landlord; and

(5) When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the trustee or debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Property or any portion thereof, such charges shall not be less than the then current Base Rent and any Additional Charges which may become due and other monetary obligations of Tenant.
(6) Neither Tenant’s interest in the Lease, nor any lesser interest of Tenant herein, nor any estate of Tenant hereby created, shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other Person, or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant unless Landlord shall consent to such transfer in writing. No acceptance by Landlord of Rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to have waived, nor shall it waive the need to obtain Landlord’s consent or Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent.
(7) Any Person to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease relating to the Facilities on or after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.
ARTICLE 5
IMPOSITIONS
IMPOSITIONS
5.1 Payment of Impositions. Subject to Tenant’s rights of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions due or becoming due from and after the Commencement Date as and when such Impositions become due and payable and directly to the parties to whom such Impositions are payable prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment; provided, however, Tenant shall not be in breach of its obligations under this Section 5.1 in the event of a breach by Landlord of its obligations under Section 5.2. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord prior to the date on which any such fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, copies of receipts or other reasonably satisfactory evidence of such payments. Such payments shall be made
26
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
directly to the authorities levying or to the other persons entitled to such Impositions, if possible. Subject to Tenant’s rights of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13, Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become due to the authority or person entitled thereto. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the payor, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may pay the same (and shall pay any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments, and in such event shall pay such installments (subject to Tenant’s right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13) as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost is added thereto. Impositions for which escrowed funds are held by Landlord or its lender under Section 5.4 hereof shall be paid as provided in Section 5.4 and the timely payment by Tenant of any amount to be paid to Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, if applicable, under Section 5.4 shall be deemed to satisfy Tenant’s obligation to pay the Imposition for which funds are escrowed. Landlord shall, at its expense and to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all returns with respect to Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, sales, use, single business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem and franchise taxes, and with respect to taxes on Landlord’s capital stock. Tenant shall, at its expense, and to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports with respect to any Imposition as may be required by governmental agencies, authorities or other persons entitled to the receipt of the Impositions. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority or other persons entitled to the receipt of the Impositions with respect to any Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall be paid over to and retained by Tenant unless an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing, in which case such refund shall be paid over to and retained by Landlord to either be (i) applied by Landlord to the cost of curing such Event of Default with the balance, if any, thereafter remitted by Landlord to Tenant, or (ii) retained by Landlord and applied as provided in Article 17 if the Event of Default cannot be cured. Landlord and Tenant shall, each upon a request by the other, provide such information as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Property as may be reasonably necessary to prepare any required returns or reports. If any governmental agency or authority classifies any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide to the other party, promptly upon request, cost and depreciation records reasonably necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. If Landlord is legally required to file any personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of any assessment notices with respect thereto in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest with respect thereto if it so elects pursuant to Article 13.
5.2 Notice of Impositions. Unless Tenant otherwise has knowledge of any such Imposition, Landlord shall be required to give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
27
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
however, Landlord’s failure to give any such Notice shall in no way diminish Tenant’s obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions, but Landlord shall be responsible for any fine, penalty or interest resulting from its failure to give such Notice and any default by Tenant hereunder shall be obviated for a reasonable time after Tenant receives Notice of any Imposition which it is obligated to pay.
5.3 Adjustment of Impositions. Impositions imposed with respect to the tax period during which the Term expires or terminates shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such expiration or termination, so that Tenant is only obligated to pay that portion of such Imposition(s) pertaining to the tax period within the Term. The obligation of Tenant to pay its prorated share of Impositions shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Likewise any refund of any Imposition paid with respect to any tax period within the Term which refund is received by Landlord during or after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be prorated and shared with Tenant. This Section 5.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
5.4 Escrow for Property Taxes. Upon the written demand of Landlord, if required by a Facility Mortgagee or from and after a breach by Tenant of its obligations with respect to the payment of property taxes, which breach is not cured within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall make monthly payments to Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, if so directed by Landlord, in escrow on the same day Base Rent is due, or such later date as directed by a Facility Mortgagee, in the amount of one twelfth of the annual ad valorem tax or such other amounts as required by a Facility Mortgagee, plus a one-time additional deposit of the amount accrued in the applicable tax year prior to the first such payment. The monthly tax escrow payment shall be adjusted from time to time to reflect changes in the tax rate or changes in the assessed value of the Land, Facility or personal property. The deposits shall not bear interest, shall not be required to be held by Landlord in trust or as an agent of Tenant and may be commingled with other assets of Landlord; provided, however, if at any time the landlord under this Lease is not an Approved Landlord, the foregoing deposits shall be segregated in a separate interest bearing account, and such deposit shall be held by the applicable landlord in trust for the benefit of Tenant. To the extent that sufficient funds exists in the tax escrow account, Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee shall release funds from the tax escrow account to pay to the tax authorities the installments of tax due on the Property or any part thereof. If there are not sufficient funds in the tax escrow account to meet an installment when due, upon receipt of a written request from Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee setting forth in reasonable detail the shortfall amount, the Tenant shall pay to Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee the shortfall in order for the full payment then due to be paid. In the event that Tenant pays any tax payment to the taxing authority for which funds are held in the tax escrow account without having made a prior request to Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee to release such escrowed funds for the purposes of making such payment, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such payment upon Landlord’s receipt of proof of full payment to the tax authority. In the event that Tenant pays any tax payment to the taxing authority for which funds are held in the tax escrow account after
28
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee has wrongfully failed to release such funds after receipt of a request from Tenant for the release thereof, then the amount of the tax payment made by Tenant shall reduce, and be deemed to be offset against, the Rent and any other amounts thereafter payable by to Landlord.
5.5 Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges (including any connection charges and deposits) for all utilities, including, but not limited to, electricity, power, gas, oil and water, used at or for the Property during the Term.
5.6 Insurance Premiums. Upon the written demand of Landlord, if required by a Facility Mortgagee or from and after a breach by Tenant of its obligations with respect to the maintenance of the insurance required by the terms of this Lease, which breach is not cured within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall make, or cause to be made, monthly payments in escrow to Landlord or, if directed by Landlord, to the Facility Mortgagee, on the same day Base Rent is due in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual insurance premiums, plus a one-time additional deposit of the amount accrued in the applicable insurance year prior to the first such payment.

6.2 Rent Reduction.

Facility equal to $1,000 per unit at each such Facility during such Rolling Two Year Period (such amount, for each Facility, the “Minimum Facility Capex Amount”).

7.2 Capex Shortfall Deposit. In the event the report required to be furnished to Landlord under Section 22.2(d) shows that Tenant failed during the applicable period to make Capital Expenditures in accordance with Section 7.1(a) or (b), then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for deposit into the Cap Ex Account the Target Expenditure Shortfall Deposit, subject to Tenant’s right to have the same returned pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Lease, provided that Landlord is not a Restricted Landlord, Tenant may not make any Alteration if such Alteration is prohibited by a Facility Mortgagee.

In the event Tenant shall fail timely to commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail diligently to prosecute, or cause to be prosecuted, to completion, or fail to complete, or cause to be completed, such Remedial Work in compliance with Legal Requirements, Landlord may, but shall not be required, to cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall be Costs within the meaning of subsection (b) above. All such Costs shall be due and payable upon demand therefor by Landlord. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall be subrogated to any rights Tenant may have under any indemnifications from any present, future or former owners, tenants or other occupants or users of the Property (or any portion thereof), relating to the matters covered by this Section 8.4.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8.4 to the contrary, but without limiting the provisions of Article 13 or Tenant’s obligations of protection, defense and indemnification under Section 20.1, Tenant will be permitted to contest or cause to be contested, subject to compliance with the requirements of this subsection (d) and Article 13, by appropriate action any Remedial Work requirement, and Landlord shall not perform such requirement on its behalf, so long as Tenant has given Landlord Notice that Tenant is contesting or shall contest or cause to be contested the same, and Tenant actually contests or causes to be contested the application, interpretation or validity of the Legal Requirements, order or agreement pertaining to the Remedial Work by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith with due diligence; provided, such contest shall not subject Landlord to civil liability and does not jeopardize Landlord’s interest in the Property or affect in any way the payment of any sums to be paid under this Lease. Tenant shall give such security or assurances as may be reasonably required by Landlord to insure compliance with the legal requirements pertaining to the Remedial Work (and payment of all costs, expenses, interest and penalties in connection therewith) and to prevent any sale, forfeiture or loss by reason of such nonpayment or noncompliance.
(g) The obligations of Tenant under this Section 8.4 shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

INSURANCE
INSURANCE
14.1 General Insurance Requirements. During the Term, Tenant shall at all times keep the Facilities, and all property located in or on the Facilities, including all Capital Additions, the FF&E and the Personal Property, insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance described below. Each element of the insurance described in this Article shall be maintained with respect to the Facilities and the Personal Property and operations thereon. This insurance shall be written by companies authorized to do insurance business in the State in which the Facilities are located. All liability type policies (except professional liability and workers compensation) must name Landlord
43
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
as an “additional insured” through an endorsement on the policy. All property, loss of rental and business interruption type policies shall name, through a policy endorsement, Landlord as “loss payee” to the extent of Landlord’s insurable interest therein with respect to the property required to be insured by Tenant. Losses shall be payable to Landlord and/or Tenant as provided in Article 15. In addition, the policies, as appropriate, shall name as an “additional insured” or “loss payee” the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement (“Facility Mortgagee”) securing any indebtedness or any other Encumbrance placed on the Facilities in accordance with the provisions of Article 23 (“Facility Mortgage”) by way of a standard form of mortgagee’s loss payable endorsement; provided that Landlord delivers the name and address of any such Facility Mortgagee to Tenant at least five (5) business days prior to the desired effective date of such endorsement. If required by any applicable Facility Mortgagee, any loss adjustment in excess of $500,000 shall require the written consent of the Facility Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease (but subject to the immediately following sentence), if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall be obligated to comply with insurance requirements imposed on the Property and set forth in any Encumbrance, provided such requirements are customary in the industry for properties similar to the Facilities in the same general areas in which the Facilities are located, are customarily required by institutional lenders, are commercially reasonable and consistent with industry standards at the applicable time, and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate with Tenant for the purpose of obtaining waivers from any Facility Mortgagee and otherwise securing any Facility Mortgagee’s agreement that such coverage is in compliance with a Facility Mortgagee’s requirements; provided, however, if, despite such efforts, such waivers are not obtained, then the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence will apply. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Landlord and, if requested, with the Facility Mortgagee(s). The policies shall insure against the following risks:
14.1.1 Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, extended coverage and other perils commonly known as “all risk or special perils”, earthquake (including earth movement), sinkhole and windstorm in an amount not less than the insurable value on a replacement cost basis (as defined below in Section 14.2) and including a building ordinance or law coverage endorsement;
14.1.2 Loss or damage by mechanical breakdown, electrical injury and explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, now or hereafter installed in the Facilities, on a “replacement cost basis”;
14.1.3 Flood (when the improvements comprising the Facilities are located in whole or in part within a FEMA-designated 100-year flood plain area);
14.1.4 Loss of rental value in an amount not less than twelve (12) months’ Rent payable hereunder or business interruption in an amount not less than twelve (12) months of income and normal operating expenses including payroll and Rent payable hereunder with an endorsement extending the period of indemnity by at least ninety (90) days; and
44
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
14.1.5 Bodily injury or property damage under a policy of commercial general liability insurance (including broad form property damage and broad form contractual liability) and medical professional liability, with amounts not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the annual aggregate and including excess liability insurance with no lower policy limits than currently maintained, unless insurance market conditions make such limits commercially unreasonable to maintain and the Landlord and Tenant shall agree on limit amounts which are commercially reasonable and available in the marketplace at a cost per unit no greater than Tenant is currently paying for such coverage. Any combination of primary or umbrella/excess insurance may be utilized to provide the total required general and professional liability insurance limits set forth in this Section 14.1.5.
14.2 Replacement Cost. The term “replacement cost” shall mean the actual replacement cost of the insured property from time to time with new materials and workmanship of like kind and quality and in compliance with current building codes. If Tenant has made improvements to the Facilities, Landlord may at Tenant’s expense have the replacement cost re-determined at any time after such improvements are made, regardless of when the replacement cost was last determined.
14.3 Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above, Tenant shall maintain, or shall cause Manager and any replacement thereof to maintain, the statutory workers’ compensation coverage or comparable coverage, as required by the Legal Requirements for all Persons employed by Tenant, Manager and any replacement thereof, in the Facilities, or, in the alternative, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements.
14.4 Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance policies covering the Facilities and Tenant’s Personal Property including contents, fire and casualty insurance, and including all third party liability and workers compensation insurance to the extent not prohibited by law shall expressly permit waiver of rights of subrogation against the other party, its officers, directors, members, agents and employees. Each party hereby waives any claims it has against the other party, its officers, directors, members, agents and employees, to the extent such claim is covered or should be covered by the required insurance, including amounts under deductibles or self-insured retentions, even if the loss is caused by the sole negligence of such other party, its officers, directors, and members, agents or employees.
14.5 Policy Requirements. All of the policies of insurance referred to in this Article shall be written in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and by insurance companies with a policyholder rating of “A-” and a financial rating of “7” in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide. Additionally, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the insurance referred to in this Article shall be on an occurrence or claims-made basis. If Tenant obtains and maintains the general and medical professional liability insurance described in Section 14.1.5 above on a “claims-made” basis, Tenant shall provide continuous liability coverage for claims arising during the Term either by obtaining an endorsement providing for an extended reporting period
45
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
reasonably acceptable to Landlord in the event such policy is canceled or not renewed for any reason whatsoever, or by obtaining either (a) “tail” insurance coverage converting the policies to “occurrence” basis policies providing coverage for a period of at least three (3) years beyond the expiration of the Term, or (b) retroactive coverage back to the commencement date (which date shall be at least three (3) years prior to the expiration of the Term) for the policy in effect prior to the expiration of the Term and maintaining such coverage for a period of at least three (3) years beyond the expiration of the Term. All policies of insurance required herein shall be endorsed to be primary to all insurance available to Landlord, with Landlord’s insurance (if any) being excess, secondary and non-contributing. Tenant shall pay all of the premiums therefor, and deliver certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and with respect to any renewal policy, shall deliver evidence of renewal no more than five (5) days after the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the failure of Tenant either to effect such insurance in the names herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver certificates thereof to Landlord, at the times required and if Tenant fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, in which event the cost thereof, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be repayable to Landlord upon demand therefor. Each insurer shall agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Landlord, that it will give to Landlord thirty (30) days’ written notice before such insurer cancels or does not renew the policy or policies in question. Each policy shall have a deductible or deductibles, if any, which are no greater than those normally maintained for similar facilities in the State of similar size, financial condition, resident mix and number. Each party shall be responsible for funding deductibles or retentions under its own insurance policies. Tenant shall be responsible for funding all claims within self-insured retention, including claims applying to Landlord as an additional insured.
14.6 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Tenant’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be materially different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other requirements hereof by reason of the use of the blanket policy, and provided further that the requirements of this Article 14 are otherwise satisfied.
14.7 Changed circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (a) if any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Article 14 ceases to be available, Tenant shall not be in breach of this Lease provided Tenant promptly obtains such alternative insurance as is customary in the industry for properties similar to the Facilities in the same general areas in which the Facilities are located and consistent with industry standards at the applicable time and (b) if any insurance provider of Tenant fails to maintain the ratings required under Section
46
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
14.5 during the term of the then existing policy, Tenant shall not be in breach of this Lease provided Tenant promptly obtains replacement insurance from an insurance provider that satisfies the ratings required under Section 14.5 (provided Tenant shall continue to maintain the then existing policy until such time as the replacement policy is issued).
ARTICLE 15
INSURANCE PROCEEDS
INSURANCE PROCEEDS
15.1 Handling of Insurance Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided herein, all proceeds from any policy of property damage insurance (excluding business interruption insurance), required by Article 14 of this Lease shall be paid to and held in trust by Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee; provided, however, that if the originally named Landlord is not then the Landlord hereunder, such payments shall be paid to and held by a reputable insurance trustee having substantial experience operating in such capacity, which trustee shall be mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant and shall hold and disburse such funds in accordance with written instructions mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant; and provided, further, that in the event the amount of such proceeds is less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is required by a Facility Mortgagee) and there is no monetary Event of Default then outstanding under this Lease, such proceeds shall be released by Landlord to Tenant to be applied in the manner set forth in this Article 15. Provided that no Event of Default then exists, any such payments received by Landlord shall be made available by Landlord, or the trustee for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Property to which such proceeds relate, and shall be paid out by Landlord, (or such insurance trustee) from time to time in accordance with and subject to the provisions hereof for the cost of such reconstruction or repair, subject to reasonable and customary controls to ensure funds disbursed by Landlord (or such insurance trustee) are in fact used for such purpose. Tenant acknowledges that such insurance proceeds may not be used towards satisfaction of the minimum Capital Expenditures required pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Lease. Any unused portion shall be retained by Landlord upon completion of such repair and restoration to be held in reserve by Landlord and disbursed by Landlord to Tenant for further maintenance or repair of the Property as requested by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord; provided, however, any such unused insurance proceeds which remain at the time this Lease expires or is terminated shall be refunded to Tenant upon Tenant’s concurrent payment to Landlord of all amounts, if any, then due to Landlord from Tenant under other provisions of this Lease. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Landlord.
15.2 Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Covered by Insurance.
(a) Subject to subsection (c) below, if during the Term a Facility is totally or substantially destroyed by a risk covered by the insurance described in Article 14 so that the

Facility thereby is rendered unsuitable for its Permitted Use(s) (taking into account all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the number of useable units and the amount of square footage reasonably available for use by Tenant and the type and amount of revenue lost), Tenant shall use insurance proceeds hereunder to restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The insurance proceeds shall be paid to Tenant or its designee in accordance with Section 15.1 from time to time as necessary to pay for the costs of such restoration.
(b) If the cost of any such repair or restoration exceeds the amount of proceeds received by Landlord (or the insurance trustee described in Section 15.1) and paid over to Tenant from the insurance required under Article 14, Tenant shall contribute any and all excess amounts necessary to repair or restore the Facility.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either (i) more than seventy five percent (75%) of any Facility (by area or value) is substantially destroyed during the final twelve (12) months of the Term as a result of a fully insured (subject to the deductible provision of the insurance coverage) casualty (including but not limited to, the business interruption coverage described in Section 14.1.4 or (ii) regardless of the extent of such damage or destruction (A) the repair or reconstruction of the Facility is prohibited under applicable law, including, but not limited to, licensure law, zoning law and/or building code law or (B) the proceeds of insurance are paid to Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, and such proceeds are not promptly made available to Tenant by Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, as applicable, in either event, Tenant may elect, by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date of such casualty, to terminate this Lease as to the affected Facility effective as of the date such notice of termination is given. If the Lease is so terminated, all insurance proceeds including the business interruption coverage required in Section 14.1.4 above, shall be paid to Landlord and the Base Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for such Facility. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to any deductible feature of the casualty insurance coverage.
15.3 Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Not Covered by Insurance. If during the Term a Facility is totally destroyed or materially damaged (i) from a risk not covered by insurance described in Article 14 or (ii) from a risk for which insurance coverage is voided due to any act or omission by Tenant, whether or not the Facility is thereby rendered unsuitable for its Permitted Use(s), Tenant shall restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Tenant shall continue to pay Rent, in the manner and at the times herein specified, including the full amounts of Base Rent and Additional Charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either (i) more than seventy five percent (75%) of the Facility (by area or value) is substantially destroyed during the final twelve (12) months of the Term as a result of a fully insured (subject to the deductible provision of the insurance coverage) casualty (including
48
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
but not limited to, the business interruption coverage described in Section 14.1.4 or (ii) regardless of the extent of such damage or destruction, the repair or reconstruction of the Facility is prohibited under applicable law, including, but not limited to, licensure law, zoning law and/or building code law, Tenant may elect, by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date of such casualty, to terminate this Lease as to the affected Facility effective as of the date such notice of termination is given and (A) the Base Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for such Facility, and (B) all insurance proceeds including the business interruption coverage required in Section 14.1.4 above, shall be paid to Tenant and (D) payment shall be made by Tenant to Landlord in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Facility and fee title to the Facility shall thereupon be transferred to Tenant free and clear of all Encumbrances and exceptions to title except those (I) created by Tenant or (II) in existence as of the date of this Lease.
15.4 Restoration of Capital Additions Paid by Tenant. All insurance proceeds payable solely by reason of any loss of or damage to any Capital Additions fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety shall be paid to Tenant and Tenant shall hold such insurance in trust to pay the cost of repairing or replacing damaged Capital Additions fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety; provided, however, that if the damaged Capital Additions fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety are deemed by Tenant to no longer be useful to Tenant’s operations, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair or replace them.
15.5 Facility Mortgagee Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, (a) Landlord shall only be obligated to make insurance proceeds resulting from any casualty available to Tenant to the extent the same are made available to Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Encumbrance and (b) in the event insurance proceeds are not made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Facilities or any portion thereof.
15.6 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any rights at law or in equity and any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Property which Landlord is obligated to restore or may restore under any of the provisions of this Lease.
ARTICLE 16
CONDEMNATION
CONDEMNATION
16.1 Definitions.
(d) “Condemnation” means (a) the exercise of any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a Condemnor, the purpose and intent of which is to effect a Taking, or (b) a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord with Tenant’s consent (provided that such consent shall be required only if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such
49
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
time) to any Condemnor, either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending.
(e) “Date of Taking” means the first date the Condemnor has the right to immediate possession of the property being condemned.
(f) “Award” means all compensation, sums and any other value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial condemnation of any portion of the Property and shall specifically exclude any separate award made to Tenant as allowed in Section 16.4 below.
(g) “Condemnor” means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having the power of condemnation.
16.2 Parties’ Rights and Obligations. If during the Term there is any Taking of all or any part of the Property or of any interest in this Lease by Condemnation, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined by this Article.
16.3 Total Taking. If title to the fee of the whole of any Facility shall be the subject of any Condemnation by any Condemnor, this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the Date of Taking as to the affected Facility. If title to the fee of less than the whole of any Facility shall be so taken or condemned, which nevertheless renders the Facility unsuitable for its Permitted Use(s) (taking into account all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the number of useable units, the amount of square footage reasonably available for use by Tenant, and the type and amount of revenue lost), Tenant and Landlord each shall have the option by Notice to the other, to terminate this Lease as of the Date of Taking as to the affected Facility. In either of such events, the Base Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for such Facility.
16.4 Allocation of Award. In the event of a Taking as described in Section 16.3, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other in order to maximize the amount of the Award. Tenant shall have the right to seek damages or a separate condemnation award for Tenant’s loss of any Capital Additions paid for by Tenant, loss of business and relocation expenses and any such award shall be the sole property of Tenant. Subject to the rights of any Facility Mortgagee, the Award shall be allocated entirely to Landlord.
16.5 Partial Taking. If title to the fee of less than the whole of any Facility shall be the subject of a Taking or Condemnation, and the Facility is still suitable for its then existing use, or if Tenant or Landlord shall be entitled, but shall not elect, to terminate this Lease with respect to the Facility as provided in Section 16.3 hereof, Tenant at its own cost and expense shall with all reasonable diligence restore the untaken portion of the Facility so that the Facility shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as existing immediately prior to such Condemnation or Taking. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other to maximize the amount of any Award. Landlord
50
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
shall contribute the entire amount of the Award to the cost of restoration. The proceeds of any Award shall be held and distributed in the same manner as provided by Section 15.1 for insurance proceeds. Any remaining balance of such proceeds after such restoration is completed shall be retained by or paid to Landlord.
16.6 Temporary Taking. If the whole or any part of any portion of the Property or of Tenant’s interest under this Lease shall be the subject of a Taking or Condemnation by any Condemnor for its temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate, and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the times herein specified, the full amount of Rent. Except to the extent Tenant may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of any order for the benefit of the Condemnor, Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants, conditions and obligations hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed as though such Taking or Condemnation had not occurred. Upon any such Taking or Condemnation described in this Section, the entire amount of any such Award made for such Taking or Condemnation allocable to the Term of this Lease, whether paid by way of damages, Rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant. If any part of such Award is allocable for a period beyond the term of this Lease, that part shall be paid to Landlord. Tenant covenants that upon the termination of any such period of temporary use or occupancy as set forth in this Section, Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense (subject to any contribution by Landlord as set forth in Section 16.5), restore the Property as nearly as may be reasonably possible to the condition in which the same was immediately prior to such Taking or Condemnation, unless such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, in which case Tenant shall not be required to make such restoration but shall pay to Landlord from the Award received by Tenant and not applied by Tenant to satisfy its Rent obligations during the period of such Taking, to the costs of such restoration work.
16.7 Facility Mortgagee Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, (a) Landlord shall only be obligated to make an Award resulting from any Condemnation available to Tenant to the extent the same are made available to Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Encumbrance and (b) in the event any Award is not made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Facilities or any portion thereof.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right (i) to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Facilities by any lawful means, upon ten (10) days’ Notice of such termination (during which time Tenant shall have the opportunity to cure any such Event of Default) in which case, if Tenant shall fail to cure all Events of Default within the foregoing ten (10) day period, this Lease shall terminate and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder shall cease and Tenant shall immediately surrender
53
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
possession of the Property to Landlord and, in such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by reason of such Event of Default determined in the manner set forth in this Section 17.2, (ii) to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Facilities without thereby terminating this Lease (provided that (A) Landlord shall only be permitted to take such action if, due to Legal Requirements, Landlord is restricted from terminating the Lease and thereafter suing for damages and (B) if Landlord takes such action, Tenant shall be immediately released from all obligations under or relating to this Lease except Tenant’s monetary obligations to Landlord) and/or relet the same for Tenant’s account, and (iii) to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the damages provided for in this Section 17.2. Neither the termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Facilities pursuant to this Section 17.2, the repossession of the Facilities, the failure of Landlord, notwithstanding reasonable good faith efforts, to relet the same, nor the reletting of all or any portion of the Property, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations hereunder (other than its non-monetary obligations), all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting until Landlord has collected from Tenant the damages due hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 17.1(b) or (c), that solely relates to one or more single Facilities (the “Terminable Facilities”), Landlord shall only be permitted to exercise the foregoing remedies and terminate this Lease as to the Terminable Facilities; provided, however, following the termination of this Lease as to any two (2) Facilities, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any subsequent Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to either (I) terminate this Lease in its entirety as contemplated above or (II) exercise the foregoing remedies and terminate this Lease solely as to the Terminable Facilities. Following the termination of this Lease as to any Terminable Facility, (x) to the extent Landlord exercises its right to accelerate the payment of Base Rent with respect to such Terminable Facility, thereafter the Base Rent payable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for such Terminable Facility (provided that the foregoing Rent reduction shall in no way prevent Landlord from suing for damages in accordance with this Article 17), (y) for the purpose of determining the Lease Coverage Ratio, the Base Rent shall be deemed to be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for such Terminable Facility (regardless of whether or not Landlord exercises its right to accelerate the payment of Base Rent with respect to such Terminable Facility) and (y) Tenant shall have no further obligation to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease that it would be otherwise required to undertake as tenant and operator of such Terminable Facility.
(b) Upon any such termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of possession of any of the Property, Tenant shall, forthwith pay to Landlord the full amount of Landlord’s damages suffered by reason of such Event of Default in an amount equal to the sum of:
(i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent due and payable to and including the date of such termination, repossession or reletting;
54
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
(ii) the worth at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that could be reasonably avoided; and
(iv) any other amount reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for the reasonable costs incurred in regaining possession and reletting the Property, including, but not limited to, brokerage fees and commissions, construction costs, rent concessions, and all legal costs and expenses.
(c) The “worth at the time of the award” of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in subparagraph (b)(iii) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%.
(d) If an Event of Default described in Section 17.1(a) shall occur, or if this Lease shall be terminated in whole or part as provided in Section 17.2(a), Landlord, without notice, may dispossess Tenant as to the Facilities, or Terminable Facilities in the case of a partial termination, as applicable, by summary proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or otherwise. No receipt of moneys by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or after the giving of any notice of the termination of this Lease shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice theretofore given to Tenant, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to enforce the payment of Rent payable by Tenant hereunder or thereafter falling due, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of a Facility by proper remedy, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, it being agreed that after the service of notice to terminate this Lease or the commencement of any suit or summary proceedings, or after a final order or judgment for the possession of a Facility, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due with respect to such Facility without in any manner affecting such notice, proceeding, order, suit or judgment, all such moneys collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupancy of such Facility or, at the election of Landlord, on account of Tenant’s liability hereunder.
17.3 Application of Funds. Any payments normally made to Tenant hereunder which are made to and received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease during the continuance of any Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order which Landlord may determine.
55
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
17.4 Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default. If an Event of Default occurs under this Lease and is not cured within the time provided under this Lease with respect to such Event of Default, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant, and without waiving any such Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter cure such Event of Default for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Landlord’s compliance with applicable law, including but not limited to, applicable licensure laws and the laws governing the confidentiality of resident and employee records, enter upon any portion of the Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s sole judgment, may be necessary or appropriate with respect thereto. No such entry by Landlord on any portion of the Property shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in each case to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord until paid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. The obligations of Tenant and rights of Landlord contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
17.5 Waiver. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Article, Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession, (b) any right to trial by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Article, and (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting Tenant’s property from liability for rent or for debt.
ARTICLE 18
CURE BY TENANT OF LANDLORD DEFAULTS
CURE BY TENANT OF LANDLORD DEFAULTS
18.1 Landlord Default. Landlord shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease if Landlord shall fail to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on its part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Tenant (or such shorter time as may be necessary in order to cure or correct any condition, the presence of which substantially or materially interferes with Tenant’s conduct of its usual business for the Permitted Use(s) or to protect the health or welfare of any resident of the Property or to ensure the ongoing compliance of the Property with applicable law), unless such failure cannot be cured with due diligence within a period of thirty (30) days (or the above-described shorter time period), in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue if Landlord, within such thirty (30) days (or the above-described shorter time period), promptly commences its attempt to cure the failure and diligently attempts to complete the curing thereof. The time within which Landlord shall be obligated to cure any such failure shall also be subject to extension of time due to the occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay. If Landlord fails to commence such cure as provided
56
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
herein, Tenant may cure such default, and so long as Tenant continues to pay Rent, Tenant shall have the right (subject to Section 6.1), as Tenant’s sole remedy (except as otherwise provided in this Section 18.1), by separate and independent action to pursue any claim it may have against Landlord for monetary damages caused by Landlord’s failure to cure such default.
18.2 Mortgagee Cure. Should Landlord fail to observe or perform any of the covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, before taking any action, Tenant shall comply with the requirements of any subordination agreement to which it may then be a party with respect to the granting of notice and an opportunity to cure to any such Landlord default. All payments made, and all acts performed by such lenders in order to cure shall be effective to prevent a forfeiture of the rights of Landlord under this Lease and a termination of this Lease as if the payments and acts were performed by Landlord instead of by the lenders.
ARTICLE 19
HOLDING OVER
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant for any reason remains in possession of any portion of the Property after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of the Term, such possession shall be a tenancy at sufferance during which time Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rental each month one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the aggregate of (i) one-twelfth of the aggregate Base Rent for the Facilities payable with respect to the next 12 calendar months of the Term, (ii) all Additional Charges accruing during the month with respect to which such payment relates, and (iii) all other sums, if any, payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to the Facilities. During such period of month-to-month tenancy at sufferance, 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 mandated by law applicable to tenancies at sufferance, to continue its occupancy and use of the Facilities. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the continued occupancy by residents at the Facilities following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall not constitute holding over by Tenant which would trigger the foregoing terms of this Article 19.

LIABILITY OF PARTIES
LIABILITY OF PARTIES
20.1 Indemnification by Tenant. Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance provided for in Article 14, and notwithstanding the policy limits of any such insurance, but subject to the waiver of the right of subrogation set forth in Section 14.4 hereof, Tenant shall indemnify,
57
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
defend, protect, save and hold Landlord and any successor person who is the owner or operator of the Facilities harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, fines, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord arising out of, connected with or incidental to the following and arising from events occurring during the Term:
(a) any Hazardous Substance located in, on or under the Land or the Facilities;
(b) any accident, injury to or death of persons, or loss of or damage to property, occurring on or about the Facilities including, without limitation, any claims of malpractice, except for any such accident, injury, death, loss or damage proximately caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and not resulting from Tenant’s failure to perform and comply with the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease;
(c) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or its agents of the Property, and any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third parties relating thereto to which Landlord is made a party;
(d) any Impositions which are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease if the same are not paid when due or within any cure period provided for herein;
(e) any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease when due or within any cure period provided for in this Lease;
(f) the non-performance of any of the terms and provisions of any and all existing and future subleases of the Facilities to be performed by Tenant thereunder; and
(g) any claims by state or federal governmental agencies for repayment of claims for reimbursement of costs incurred by Tenant in providing care or services to residents under government supported healthcare or government supported residential programs, provided Landlord promptly provides Tenant with written notice thereof and otherwise complies with the terms of this Section 20.1.
Any amounts payable by Tenant under this Section shall be paid within ten (10) days after Tenant’s liability therefor is determined by litigation or otherwise. If such amounts are not timely paid, they shall bear a late charge at the Overdue Rate from the date of such determination to the date paid. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord, or may, with Landlord’s prior written consent, compromise or
58
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
otherwise dispose of the same as Tenant sees fit. If Tenant shall have fully paid to Landlord any and all amount due under this Section 20.1, Tenant shall be entitled to receive any insurance proceeds relating to such indemnified matter up to the amount paid by Tenant to Landlord. Nothing herein shall be construed as indemnifying Landlord against its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Tenant, at its expense, may contest, resist, and defend any such claim, action, or proceeding contemplated by Section 20.1(g), with counsel chosen by Tenant, in its discretion, in which event Tenant shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of such claim, action or proceeding. Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, compromise or otherwise dispose of any suit, action, or proceeding without obtaining Tenant’s prior consent. Landlord, at its election and sole cost and expense, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of any claim.
20.2 Indemnification by Landlord. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, save and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reason-able attorneys, fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Tenant arising out of, connected with or incidental to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant’s right to indemnification as provided herein shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Article 24.
20.3 Continuing Liability. Tenant’s and Landlord’s liability for a breach of the provisions of this Article arising during the Term hereof shall survive any termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Property.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING; MANAGEMENT
21.1 Subtenant. Landlord consents to Tenant’s sublease of each Facility to a Subtenant pursuant to the Facility Sublease.

Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice following any amendment, modification or termination of a Facility Sublease. Landlord agrees to accept as performance by Tenant with respect to any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, if such obligation has been met or satisfied by the Subtenant. If required by Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, Tenant shall obtain from each Subtenant a Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in favor of Landlord and Facility Mortgagee, if applicable. Tenant and Subtenant shall also execute a Security Agreement in favor of Landlord to secure the obligations of Tenant to Landlord hereunder and Subtenant to Tenant under the Facility Sublease.

21.5 Attornment. Tenant shall insert in any sublease to which Landlord may consent (without obligation for Landlord to do so) provisions satisfactory to Landlord which provide for the benefit of Landlord that (a) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease (b) in the event this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such

Upon any assignment or execution of any such management agreement, the assignee shall agree to assume all of the obligations of the Manager under such management agreement and the Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement, a copy of which assignment shall be delivered to Landlord within two (2) business days of the effective date of such assignment.

INFORMATION FROM TENANT
INFORMATION FROM TENANT
22.1 Estoppel Certificates.
(a) Tenant Certificates. At any time and from time to time, upon not less than twenty (20) days’ Notice by Landlord which notice shall make specific reference to this Section 22.1, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord or to the Facility Mortgagees and to any persons intending to purchase the Facilities or to lease the Facilities at the termination or expiration of this Lease an estoppel certificate (which shall be an Officer’s Certificate) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth the modifications); the date to which the Rent has been paid; whether, to Tenant’s actual knowledge and belief, there exists any Event of Default or any situation which, with the giving of notice, passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, whether Tenant contends that Landlord is in default hereunder, and if Tenant so contends, the basis for such contention, the date upon which the Term terminates and such other information (which can be provided within twenty (20) days) as Landlord reasonably may request. The failure by Tenant to deliver such estoppel certificate to Landlord within twenty (20) days of Landlord’s request therefor shall be conclusively deemed to be Tenant’s certification (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as represented by Landlord; (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance hereunder, (iii) that not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance; and (iv) that all reports previously given to Landlord are true and correct.

(b) Landlord Certificates. At any time and from time to time, upon not less than twenty (20) days’ Notice by Tenant, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an estoppel certificate (which shall be an Officer’s Certificate) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth the modifications), the date to which the Base Rent has been paid, and whether to Landlord’s actual knowledge and belief there exists any Event of Default or any situation which with the giving of notice, passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, and if Landlord so contends, the basis for such contention, the date upon which the Term terminates, and such other information
62
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
(which can be provided within twenty (20) days) as Tenant reasonably may request. In the event Landlord should fail to provide an estoppel certificate within the time allowed after Tenant’s request therefore duly made, such failure to respond shall be deemed to constitute Landlord’s certification that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as represented by Tenant in its request to Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Tenant’s performance and (iii) that not more than one month’s rent has been paid in advance. Any such certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 22.1(b) may be relied upon by Tenant and any assignee (so long as such assignee is approved and consented to by Landlord in accordance with Article 21) or lender of Tenant to whom such certificate is addressed.
22.2 Financial Information. Tenant shall furnish within the time periods specified with respect thereto, the following statements to Landlord:
(a) Annual Financials/Tenant.

22.3 Confidentiality of Protected Health Information. For purposes of this Section of this Lease, “protected health information”, or PHI, shall have the meaning defined by the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, 45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Subparts A and E of Part 164 (the “Privacy Standards”), as promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) pursuant to the Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Tenant agrees to reasonably safeguard PHI from any intentional or unintentional disclosure in violation of the Privacy Standards by implementing appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the privacy of PHI. Tenant further agrees to implement as required by law appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to limit incidental disclosures of PHI, including disclosures to Landlord, its subcontractors and agents. The parties agree that neither the Landlord nor its contractors, subcontractors or agents shall need access to, nor shall they use or disclose, any PHI of Tenant. However, in the event PHI is disclosed by Tenant or its agents to Landlord, its contractors, subcontractors or agents, regardless as to whether the disclosure is inadvertent or otherwise, Landlord agrees to take reasonable steps to maintain, and to require its contractors, subcontractors and agents to maintain, the privacy and confidentiality of such PHI. The parties agree that the foregoing does not create, and is not intended to create, a “business associate” relationship between the parties as that term is defined by the Privacy Standards.

Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, any such Encumbrance shall provide that it is subject to the rights of Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant agrees that its interest under this Lease is subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust that may hereafter from time to time be recorded on the Property, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, and to renewals, replacements and extensions thereof.

Tenant hereby agrees to recognize such purchaser as the landlord under this Lease and agrees to attorn to such purchaser and, if instructed to do so by such purchaser, to make rental payments directly to it. Such subordination agreement may also include an acknowledgment by Tenant that any purported cancellation of this Lease, reduction in its effective rate of rent, shortening of its term or extension of its term at a reduced effective rate of rent, shall not be binding upon any encumbrancer or any other person, firm or corporation acquiring the Property at any sale or other proceedings, or pursuant to the exercise of any rights, powers or remedies under any Encumbrance, without such encumbrancer’s prior written consent.
(h) To the extent required by a Facility Mortgagee and provided that Landlord is not a Restricted Landlord, Tenant agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord with respect to Landlord securing any indebtedness or any other Encumbrance placed on the Facilities in accordance with the provisions of this Article 23, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, upon Landlord’s request, (i) Tenant agreeing to be bound by certain terms of such financing provided such terms do not materially increase the monetary obligations of Tenant and are customarily required by institutional lenders at the time (and Tenant shall agree to be bound so long as any increase in a monetary obligation beyond a de minimis extent is, at Tenant’s election, either satisfied directly by Landlord or promptly reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord), (ii) Tenant’s payment of Rent and Additional Charges to a lockbox or other account designated by the Facility Mortgagee, (iii) establishment of a lockbox mechanism (for the benefit of a Facility Mortgagee) to collect subrent from Subtenants, (iv) modifications to the SPE requirements in Schedule 17.1 in line with customary lending market practices at the time, and application of such requirements to Subtenants, (v) Tenant to give each Facility Mortgagee notice of all material defaults of Landlord
65
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
under this Lease, and to provide such Facility Mortgagee with a reasonable opportunity to cure such default, not to exceed thirty (30) days, before the Tenant exercises any rights or remedies in respect thereof and (vi) maintenance and submission of financial records and accounts that relate exclusively to the operation of the Facilities and other information regarding operator, Tenant and Subtenant, and the Facilities themselves. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to comply with, or agree to, (A) any decrease of rights, except to a de minimis extent, (B) financial covenants in addition to those contained in either Section 11.3, (C) any revisions to the financial covenants in Section 11.3, or (D) any obligation that would materially adversely affect the use or operation of a Facility. The parties hereto acknowledge that (x) an increase in the monetary obligations of Tenant shall not in and of itself constitute a decrease in Tenant’s rights and (y) Tenant’s compliance with any matter set forth in clauses (ii) – (iv) immediately above, in each case, shall not in and of itself constitute a decrease in Tenant’s rights.

25.21 Lease Consolidation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease or any other lease to which Landlord or any Affiliate thereof is a party, in the event Landlord or any Affiliate thereof is entitled pursuant to any other lease (the “Other Lease”), to cause such lease to be combined or consolidated with this Lease (the “Combined Lease Right”), then (a) the Combined Lease Right shall be deemed waived by Landlord and its Affiliate, as applicable, (b) the Combined Lease Right shall not be enforceable against Tenant, Guarantor, any Affiliate thereof, or any of their respective successors and assigns or any Person that is a party to the Other Lease, as tenant or tenants, and (c) Landlord shall not, and shall cause its Affiliate to refrain from, exercising the Combined Lease Right.

ARTICLE 26
NON COMPETITION PROVISIONS.
NON COMPETITION PROVISIONS.
73
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
Tenant covenants and agrees that, for a period commencing on the Restricted Period Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) and expiring on the Restricted Period Termination Date (the “Restricted Period”), no Tenant Control Party will directly or indirectly: (a) develop, construct, finance or invest in the development, redevelopment, or construction of any Competing Facility (as hereinafter defined); (b) participate in the development, redevelopment, construction or financing of, any Competing Facility; (c) act as an officer, director, member, employee, principal, agent, representative, consultant, investor, owner, developer, partner, manager, or joint venturer in or with respect to the development, redevelopment, or construction of any Competing Facility; or (d) permit his, her, or its name to be used by, or in connection with, the development, redevelopment, or construction of any Competing Facility. For purposes of this Article 26 a “Competing Facility” shall be an independent living facility developed, redeveloped or constructed after the date of this Lease, that (a) competes in any direct or indirect way with, or is comparable in any way to, any Facility and (b) is located within a 10-mile radius of any Facility leased by the applicable Tenant Control Party, excluding (i) any independent living facility in respect of which construction or development or redevelopment has commenced as of the date of this Lease and (ii) any independent living facility constructed or developed or redeveloped, or the construction or development or redevelopment of which commenced, by or on behalf of any Successor Entity (as hereinafter defined) after the date of this Lease, but on or prior to the date such Person enters into a definitive agreement that, if consummated, would result in such Person becoming a Successor Entity. “Restricted Period Effective Date” shall mean, with respect to any Tenant, Guarantor or any Successor Entity, the date such Person became a party to this Lease or a Guaranty. “Restricted Period Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any Tenant, Guarantor or any Successor Entity, the earlier of (i) the date such Person ceases to be a party to this Lease or a Guaranty following a Transfer that does not breach the terms of this Lease and (ii) the termination or expiration of this Lease. “Successor Entity” means any Person that is a successor to Tenant, Subtenant or Guarantor. The provisions of this Article 26 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the violation of this covenant not to compete by a Tenant Control Party, would cause irreparable harm to Landlord and Landlord would be entitled to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and restraining each Tenant Control Party, from any act prohibited by this Article 26. Tenant and Landlord recognize and acknowledge that the area and time limitations contained in this Article 26 are reasonable. In addition, Tenant and Landlord recognize and acknowledge that the area and time limitations are properly required for the protection of the business interests of Landlord due to the status and reputation of Tenant in the industry. The parties agree that nothing in this Article 26 shall be construed as prohibiting Landlord from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any breach or threatened breach of this covenant not to compete, including the recovery of damages from Tenant or any other Person acting in concert with Tenant. Tenant agrees that, in the event that Tenant, or any subsidiary thereof, breaches this covenant not to compete, Tenant will pay reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing this covenant not to compete.
74
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
It is further agreed that if at any time it shall be determined that this covenant not to compete is unreasonable as to time or area, or both, by any court of competent jurisdiction, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce this covenant for such period of time and within such area as such court may determine to be reasonable.
ARTICLE 27
CONFIDENTIALITY
27.1 Obligation of Confidence. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 27, each of Tenant and Landlord shall keep confidential all Confidential Information provided to it or its agents, employees, or representatives by the other and shall not, without other party’s prior consent, disclose such information in whole or in part to any Person.
27.2 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
(a) Tenant and Landlord, as applicable (the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose (i) such information to its respective Affiliates, counsel, accountants, lenders, underwriters, tax advisors and consultants as necessary to conduct the business of such Disclosing Party (or any of its Affiliates) in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices or (ii) any information which has otherwise become publicly available through no fault of the recipient party.
(b) Each of Tenant and Landlord (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be able to disclose such Confidential Information as is, in the good faith judgment of such Person’s counsel, accountants or advisors, required or reasonably advisable to be disclosed by operation of law, rule, regulation or legal process, a governmental agency such as the Internal Revenue Service or Securities and Exchange Commission, or a stock exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, court order or requirement of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, in connection with the preparation for, or consummation of, a public offering of debt or equity by Landlord or an Affiliate thereof).
(c) Each of Tenant (if Tenant is a Publicly Traded Company (as defined in the Guaranty)) and Landlord (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be entitled to disclose such Confidential Information as is, in the good faith judgment of the disclosing party’s counsel, accountants or advisors, required or reasonably advisable to be disclosed in connection with such party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) quarterly earnings results or financing activities, including the name of the non-disclosing party and the Facilities, the amount invested by Landlord in the Facilities and the rent payable under this Lease.
75
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
(d) Landlord (or any of its Affiliates) shall be entitled to disclose such Confidential Information as is commonly disclosed by other publicly traded landlords under leases of facilities similar to the Facilities, including the name of the Tenants and the Facilities, the amount invested by Landlord in the Facilities and the rent payable under this Lease.
(e) The Disclosing Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Article 27 by such party’s officers, directors, agents, and employees but shall not be liable to the non-disclosing party (the “Non-Disclosing Party”) for any breach by any counsel, accountants, underwriters, advisors or consultants if the Disclosing Party enters into a confidential relationship or confidentiality arrangements with such Person and assigns to the Non-Disclosing Party the Disclosing Party’s rights under such confidentiality agreement, confidentiality relationship, or other obligations.
27.3 Confidential Information Defined. The term “Confidential Information” means terms and provisions of this Lease and all and any data, reports, forecasts, records, agreements, and other information furnished by a Non-Disclosing Party or by any of its representatives or advisors to the Disclosing Party that is material and proprietary, but shall not apply to any Confidential Information that (a) was known to the Disclosing Party prior to the Non-Disclosing Party’s disclosure of such Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party(unless the Disclosing Party’s knowledge was obtained confidentially or from a source that to the Disclosing Party’s knowledge was not permitted to disclose such Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party) or (b) becomes available to the Disclosing Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Non-Disclosing Party or any of its employees, agents, representatives, or advisors) who to the knowledge of the Disclosing Party is not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party by any legal, contractual, or fiduciary obligation.
27.4 Injunctive Relief. Each of Landlord and Tenant acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect against breach of the provisions of this Section 16, and hereby in advance agrees that the Non-Disclosing Party shall not be obligated to establish actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages in seeking an injunction. Such injunctive relief will not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach by a Disclosing Party of the provisions of this Section 16, but will be in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity to the Non-Disclosing Party.
27.5 Suspension Period. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to temporarily suspend the other party’s obligation to provide it with Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise for a specified period of time or for a period of time terminating upon the occurrence of a specified event, including notice from the Non-Disclosing Party (the “Suspension Period”). During the Suspension Period, the applicable party shall, if requested by the Non-Disclosing Party, deliver such Confidential Information to a third party in a confidential relationship with the Non-Disclosing Party. Upon expiration or termination of the Suspension Period, the applicable party will deliver to the Non-Disclosing Party within three business days all
76
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
Confidential Information that the Disclosing Party otherwise would have been required to deliver during the Suspension Period and shall immediately, once again, be subject to all of the information delivery requirements set forth in this Lease.
ARTICLE 28
SEVERED LEASE
28.1 Severed Lease. Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the Term, by written notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to execute an amendment to this Lease whereby one or more Facilities (individually, a “Transferred Facility” or collectively, “Transferred Facilities”) are separated and removed from this Lease (a “Lease Severance”), and simultaneously to execute a substitute lease with respect to such Transferred Facility(ies), in which case:
(a) Severed Lease Terms. Landlord and Tenant shall execute a new lease (the “Severed Lease”) for such Transferred Facility(ies), effective as of the date specified in Section 28.3 below (the “Property Transfer Date”), in the same form and substance as this Lease, but with the following changes thereto:
(i) Minimum Rent. The initial Minimum Rent for such Transferred Facility(ies) shall be an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for the Transferred Facility(ies). Any rental escalations required under this Lease shall be made under the Severed Lease on the same date and in the same manner as is required under this Lease, in the full amount required as if such Transferred Facility(ies) had been under the Severed Lease.
(ii) Liabilities and Obligations. The Severed Lease and this Lease (as amended) shall provide that the tenant under this Lease following the Lease Severance (A) shall continue to be responsible for the payment, performance and satisfaction of all duties, obligations and liabilities arising under this Lease, insofar as they relate to the Transferred Facility(ies), that were not paid, performed and satisfied in full prior to the Property Transfer Date and (B) shall not be responsible for the payment, performance or satisfaction of any duties, obligations and liabilities, insofar as they relate to the Transferred Facility(ies), arising after the Property Transfer Date.
(b) Deletion of Provisions. At the election of Landlord, Section 25.20 of the Severed Lease pertaining to the REIT status of NHI shall be deleted.
77
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
(c) Secured Amount; Capital Expenditures Reserve. Such Severed Lease shall contemplate both a security deposit and tax and insurance escrows and capital expenditures reserve in the same manner and fashion as required by this Lease with respect to the particular Facility. Such security deposit or capital expenditure reserve amounts under the Severed Lease shall initially be funded by Landlord out of the Cap Ex Account, tax and insurance escrow and the Security Deposit, as applicable, previously provided by Tenant. The Security Deposit under the Severed Lease shall be equal to an amount determined by multiplying (i) the Security Deposit under this Lease at the applicable time by (ii) a fraction determined by dividing the Allocated Facility Rent attributable to such Facility by the aggregate Base Rent.
(d) Replacement Guaranties. Contemporaneously with the execution of any Severed Lease, Guarantor shall execute a new guaranty for each of this Lease and each Severed Lease, pursuant to which Guarantor shall separately guaranty Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (as amended) and each Severed Lease on the same terms and to the same extent as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to the then existing Guaranty, and thereupon, the then existing Guaranty with respect to this Lease shall be automatically be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect.
(e) Collateral. Each tenant under a Severed Lease will execute any documentation reasonably necessary for Landlord to maintain its security interest in the collateral of such tenant as is currently secured under this Lease.
28.2 Amendments to this Lease. Upon execution of such Severed Lease, and effective as of the Property Transfer Date, this Lease shall be deemed to be amended as follows:
(a) the Transferred Facility(ies) shall be excluded from the Facilities hereunder;
(b) Base Rent hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for the Transferred Facility(ies); and
(c) the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and any Security Deposit shall be amended and reduced, respectively, to delete and eliminate the Transferred Facility(ies) therefrom and reduce the Secured Deposit under this Lease as a result of the elimination of the Transferred Facility(ies) in accordance with the computation provided in Sections 28.1(c) above.
The foregoing amendments shall occur automatically and without the necessity of any further action by Landlord or Tenant, but, at either Landlord’s or Tenant’s election, the same shall be reflected in a formal amendment to this Lease, which amendment shall be promptly executed by Landlord and Tenant.
78
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW
28.3 Effective Date. Any Severed Lease shall be effective on the date which is the earlier of: (i) the date the Severed Lease is fully executed and delivered by the parties thereto and (ii) the date specified in the written notice from Landlord to Tenant requiring a Severed Lease as described above, which date shall be no sooner than ten (10) days, nor later than sixty (60) days, after the date such notice is issued.
28.4 Other Undertakings. Landlord and Tenant shall take such actions and execute and deliver such documents, including without limitation the Severed Lease and an amendment to this Lease, as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectuate fully the provisions and intent of this Article 28.
28.5 Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding anything contained herein which may be construed to the contrary (a) Tenant’s compliance with Section 11.3 (Lease Coverage Ratio) shall be measured on a combined basis across this Lease and all other Severed Leases as if Landlord had not caused this Lease to be severed and (b) except as amended in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease (as amended following the creation of a Severed Lease) and any Severed Lease shall each be on the same terms as provided herein, regardless of whether the provisions thereof are expressed to relate to multiple Facilities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease to become effective as of December 23, 2013.
