If any Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Agreement (any such person, Successor Landlord), whether through possession, termination of lease, foreclosure action, assignment of lease or grant of deed, or otherwise, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Landlord as Tenants landlord under this Agreement and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment (provided that such instrument does not alter the terms of this Agreement), whereupon, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Agreement, except that the Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this Agreement or its

Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenants agreement to attorn, as aforesaid and Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an instrument of nondisturbance and attornment from such Superior Mortgagee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant whereby such Superior Mortgagee shall agree to recognize Tenants possessory and other rights under this Agreement notwithstanding any foreclosure or lease termination, subject to the provisions of this Section 20.2.

In addition, during the period in which the Facility Mortgagee is the Landlord, any default under any SASA by the Tenant or Sub-Tenant shall be an event of default under this Agreement. To the extent that there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the SASA, the terms and conditions of the SASA control.

23.22. Assignment of Rents and Leases.
The following terms, when used in this Section, shall have the following meanings:
Leases means all present and future leases, subleases, licenses, concessions or grants or other possessory interests now or hereafter in force, whether oral or written, covering or affecting the Properties known as Aspenwood, Heartfields at Easton, Heartlands at Ellicott City and Heartlands at Severna Park (the Maryland Properties) or any portion of the Maryland Properties (including proprietary leases or occupancy agreements if Tenant is a cooperative housing corporation), and all modifications, extensions or renewals thereof. The term Leases shall also include any residency, occupancy, admission, and care agreements pertaining to residents of the Maryland Properties, any and all collateral securing the Leases and shall also specifically include, without limitation, this Agreement.
Master Agreement shall mean that certain Master Credit Facility Agreement by and between SNH FM Financing LLC and Citibank, N.A. (Lender) dated as of the date hereof.
Rents means all rents (whether from residential or non-residential space), revenues and other income of the Maryland Properties, including subsidy payments received from any sources (including but not limited to payments under any Housing Assistance Payments Contract), parking fees, laundry and vending machine income and fees and charges for food, healthcare and other services provided at the Maryland Properties, whether now due, past due, or to become due, resident and tenant security deposits, any and all collateral securing the payments of Rents, entrance fees, application fees, processing fees, community fees and any other amounts or fees deposited by any resident or tenant (whether forfeited or not) together with and including all proceeds from any private insurance for residents to cover rental charges and charges for services at or in connection with the Maryland Properties, and the right to third party payments due for the rents or services of residents at the Maryland Properties.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Landlord Tenants right, title and interest in all Rents. To the extent permitted by applicable law, it is the intention of Tenant to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Landlord of Tenants right, title and interest in all Rents and to authorize and empower Landlord to collect and receive all Rents owed to Tenant without the necessity of further action on the part of Tenant. Promptly upon request by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver further confirmation of such assignments as Landlord may from time to time require. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant and Landlord intend this assignment of Rents to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of Rents is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the State is located, then it is the intention of Tenant that in this circumstance
19
this Agreement create and perfect a lien on Tenants right, title and interest in all Rents in favor of Landlord, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Agreement and shall secure all obligations of Tenant under this Agreement.
(b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant authorizes Landlord to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each resident and tenant of the Maryland Properties to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Landlord. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a revocable license to collect and receive all Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Landlord and subject to the terms of this Agreement, to apply all Rents to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Maryland Properties, including Additional Charges, resident and tenant improvements and other capital expenditures and otherwise to apply such Rents and retain them as its sole property, all to the extent such Rents are attributable to periods during which an Event of Default has not occurred (each a Nondefault Period). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Rents attributable to Nondefault Periods may be retained by Tenant free and clear of, and released from, Landlords rights with respect to Rents under this Agreement. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Landlord entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Maryland Properties directly, or by a receiver, Tenants license to collect Rents shall automatically terminate and Landlord shall without notice be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand all Rents to which Landlord is entitled. At any time on or after the date of Landlords demand for Rents, Landlord may give, and Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to give, notice to all residents and tenants of the Maryland Properties instructing them to pay all Rents to Landlord. No resident or tenant shall be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, and no resident or tenant shall be obligated to pay to Tenant any amounts which are actually paid to Landlord in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Landlord shall be delivered to each resident and tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. Tenant shall not interfere with and shall cooperate with Landlords collection of such Rents. After an Event of Default, Landlord is further authorized to give notice to all third party payment payors (other than governmental entities) at Landlords option, instructing them to pay all third party payments which would be otherwise paid to Tenant to Landlord, to the extent permitted by law.
(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenants right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, including Tenants right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease. To the extent permitted by applicable law, it is the intention of Tenant to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Landlord of all of Tenants right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant and Landlord intend this assignment of the
20
Leases to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the State, then it is the intention of Tenant that in this circumstance this Agreement create and perfect a lien on the Leases in favor of Landlord, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Agreement and shall secure all obligations of Tenant under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or (c) below, the parties may agree to remove any Maryland Property from the terms of this Agreement in connection with a release of any of the Maryland Properties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement.
(d) Until Landlord gives notice to Tenant of Landlords exercise of its rights under this Section 23.22, Tenant shall have all rights, power and authority granted to Tenant under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Section or any other provision of this Sublease), including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease or extend or terminate any Lease. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the option of Landlord, the permission given to Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence to exercise all rights, power and authority under Leases shall terminate. Tenant shall comply with and observe Tenants material obligations under all Leases, including Tenants obligations pertaining to the maintenance and disposition of resident or tenant security deposits.
(e) Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant has not executed any prior assignment of Rents or Leases or any such assignments have been terminated and Tenant covenants and agrees that it will not perform any acts and has not executed, and shall not execute, any instrument which would prevent Landlord from exercising its rights under this Section 23.22, and that at the time of execution of this Agreement there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any Rents for more than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents. Tenant shall not collect or accept payment of any Rents more than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents.
(f) Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to file financing statements, continuation statements and financing statement amendments in such form as Landlord may require to perfect or continue the perfection of the security interest herein granted and Tenant agrees, if Landlord so requests, to execute and deliver to Landlord such financing statements, continuation statements and amendments.
(g) The liens and security interests provided for herein, and all rights of Landlord in and to the Rents and Lease, shall be subordinate in all respects to all right, title and interest of Lender in and to the same.
21
(h) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may and shall assign to Lender the liens and security interests provided for herein and all rights of Landlord in and to the Rents and Leases.
(xxxix) All references to Manager or any provisions relating thereto in the Lease Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.
(xl) All references to Management Agreement or any provisions relating thereto in the Lease Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.
(xli) All references to Pledge Agreement or any provisions relating thereto in the Lease Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.
(xlii) All references to Security Agreement or any provisions relating thereto in the Lease Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.
Section 3. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly modified hereby, the Lease Agreement and all of the terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and provisions thereof remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed.
Section 4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart shall be considered an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (EXCLUDING THE LAW APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW).
