Lessor and Lessee have specifically defined a "Put Event" for the
limited purpose of setting forth the circumstances under which
Lessor shall be entitled to the remedy set forth in Section 16.5,
in no event shall this definition derogate the materiality of any
other Event of Default (including any Event of Default which does
not constitute a Put Event) or otherwise limit Lessor's rights and
remedies upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default,
including those rights and remedies set forth in Sections 16.2,

Transfer Consideration: With respect to any Transfer

Sale of Business), "Transfer Consideration" shall mean Fifty
Percent (50%) of the positive difference, if any, between the Fair
Market Rental and the Allocated Minimum Rent payable by Lessee
under this Lease determined on a monthly basis with respect to such
Transfer Consideration Facility, prorating such Minimum Rent, as
appropriate, if less than all of the applicable Transfer
Consideration Facility is Master Subleased. Fifty Percent (50%) of
the difference shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor monthly when the
Allocated Minimum Rent is due for such Transfer Consideration
Facility; provided, however, that in no event shall the total
Transfer Consideration to which Lessor is entitled in connection
with any such Master Sublease exceed the total consideration given
directly or indirectly (including through one or more
intermediaries) to Lessee, to any Controlling Person(s) or to any
other Person in exchange for, in connection with, related to or
arising out of the transaction(s) as to which such Master Sublease
is a part. With respect to any other Transfer relating to any
Transfer Consideration Facility (i.e., a Transfer other than
pursuant to a Master Sublease, but including a Master Sublease
which is part of a Sale of Business) "Transfer Consideration" shall
mean Fifty Percent (50%) of the sum of (a) any and all
consideration given directly or indirectly (including through one
or more intermediaries) to Lessee, to any Controlling Person(s) or
to any other Persons in exchange for, in connection with, related
to or arising out of such Transfer, less (b) the Net Book Value
Adjustment (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that if
such Transfer constitutes a Sale of Business or is a Master
Sublease of any Transfer Consideration Facility entered into in
connection with a Sale of Business, then "Transfer Consideration"
shall mean Fifty Percent (50%) of the Allocated Value (as
hereinafter defined) of the sum of (i) any and all
suchconsideration given directly or indirectly (including through
one or more intermediaries) to Lessee, to any Controlling Person(s)
or to any other Person in exchange for, in connection with, related
to or arising out of such Sale of Business, less (ii) the Net Book
Value Adjustment. As used herein, the term "Net Book Value
Adjustment" shall mean the book value of any cash or cash
equivalents, receivables and any other tangible assets of Lessee or
of any Controlling Person(s) or other transferor(s), as the case
may be, being transferred, conveyed or sold, directly or
indirectly, in connection with such Transfer or Sale of Business,
as the case may be, net of any liabilities relating to such
transferred assets being assumed, directly or indirectly, by the
transferee in connection with such Transfer (e.g., accounts
payable, accrued vacation, equipment leases, etc., but specifically
excluding, without limitation, the obligations under this Lease),
all as determined in accordance with GAAP. As used herein, the term
"Allocated Value" shall mean the sum of clauses (i) and (ii) above
allocated to the Leased Property of the applicable Transfer
Consideration Facility, any Capital Additions and Lessee's
operations thereon (including any and all business, enterprise and
goodwill value), determined by the appraisal procedures set forth
in Article XXXIV and based upon (x) the present value of the then
current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization
and rents (including Rents under this Lease) ("EBITDAR") of the
applicable Transfer Consideration Facility over the remaining Term
of this Lease with respect to such Transfer Consideration Facility
(taking into account any unexercised Extended Term(s)), less the
present value of the remaining Allocated Minimum Rent to be paid
under this Lease for such Transfer Consideration Facility for such
period(s), as compared to (y) the sum of the following with respect
to all operations being transferred, conveyed or sold, directly or
indirectly, in connection with a Sale of Business: (1) with respect
to all operations conducted at leased facilities (including the
applicable Transfer Consideration Facility), the present value of
the then current EBITDAR of all such operations over the remaining
terms of all such leases (taking into account any unexercised
extension options thereunder), less the present value of the
remaining rents to be paid under such leases for such period(s),
and (2) with respect to any operations conducted at owned
facilities, the EBITDAR of such operations capitalized at the
appropriate market capitalization rate, less debt which is being
assumed, directly or indirectly, by the transferee (taking into
account the positive or negative value of such assumed debt
attributable to the interest rate, amortization schedule, maturity
date, prepayment penalties and other relevant terms thereof). As
used herein, the term "consideration" shall mean and include money,
services, property and other things of value, including payment of
costs, cancellation or forgiveness of indebtedness, discounts,
rebates, barter and the like. For purposes of Section 24.1.2.2 and
the payment of Transfer Consideration to Lessor as provided in this
Lease, if any such consideration given in exchange for, in
connection with, related to or arising out of such Transfer is in a
form other than cash (such as in kind, equity interests,
indebtedness, earn-outs or other deferred payments, consulting or
management fees, etc.), Lessor shall be entitled to receive the
applicable Transfer Consideration on account thereof in cash based
upon the present fair market value of such consideration at the
time of the Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, Lessee shall have no obligation to pay
Transfer Consideration in connection with any Transfer relating to
any Facility that is not a Transfer Consideration Facility. Lessee
acknowledges and agrees that the terms under which Lessor is
entitled to the payment of Transfer Consideration pursuant to this
Lease and the amount thereof has been freely negotiated and
represents a fair and equitable division with Lessor of the
consideration payable in connection with a Transfer taking into
account, among other things, Lessor's investment in the Leased
Property, the terms of this Lease and the inherent risks of owning
and leasing real property.
Transfer Consideration Facilities: Each of those Facilities
identified as a Transfer Consideration Facility on Exhibit C
attached hereto.
Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use: With respect to each
Facility, a state or condition of such Facility such that by reason
of damage or destruction or Condemnation, in the good faith
judgment of Lessor, such Facility cannot be operated on a
commercially practicable basis for its Primary Intended
Use.

3.1
Rent. From and after the Restatement Date, Lessee will
pay to Lessor in lawful money of the United States of America
which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and
private debts, without offset or deduction, the amounts set
forth hereinafter as Minimum Rent during the Term. Payments of
Minimum Rent shall be made by wire transfer of funds initiated
by Lessee to Lessor's account or to such other Person as
Lessor from time to time may designate in writing, in advance
on or before the first day of each calendar
month.
3.1.1
Minimum Rent.
(a) Subject
to upward adjustments as provided in subsections (b), (c) and
(d) below, for the period from the Restatement Date through
the expiration of the first Lease Year, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor as monthly "Allocated Minimum Rent" for each Facility
the amounts allocated to and set forth opposite such Facility
on Exhibit C attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference. The first monthly
payment of Allocated Minimum Rent for each Facility shall be
payable on the Restatement Date (prorated as to any partial
calendar month at the beginning of the Term).
(b) With
respect to the Group 1 Facilities, commencing upon the
expiration of the first Lease Year for such Group 1 Facilities
and upon the expiration of each Lease Year thereafter during
the Term for such Group 1 Facilities (i.e., including the
Extended Term), the monthly Allocated Minimum Rent in effect
as of the expiration of the immediately preceding Lease Year
for such Group 1 Facilities shall be increased by an amount
equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the product of (i)
Twenty-Five Hundredths Percent (.25%) times (ii) the Minimum
Repurchase Price for such Group 1 Facilities.
(
c
) With
respect to the Group 2 Facilities, commencing upon the
expiration of the first Lease Year for the Group 2 Facilities
and upon the expiration of each Lease Year thereafter during
the Term for such Group 2 Facilities (including each Extended
Term, if either), the then current monthly Allocated Minimum
Rent for such Group 2 Facilities for such Lease Year shall be
adjusted by the applicable CPI Increase; provided, however,
that in no event shall the monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for
any Group 2 Facility after any such adjustment be less than
One Hundred Two and One-Half Percent (102.5%) nor more than
One Hundred Five Percent (105%) of the monthly Allocated
Minimum Rent in effect for such Group 2 Facility immediately
prior to such adjustment, notwithstanding the actual
percentage change in the CPI Increase.
(d) With
respect to the Group 3 Facilities, commencing upon the
expiration of the first Lease Year for such Group 3 Facilities
and upon the expiration of each Lease Year thereafter during
the Fixed Term for such Group 3 Facilities, the then current
monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for such Group 3 Facilities for
such Lease Year shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the
applicable Group 3 Facility Escalator. Upon the commencement
of the first (1 st )
Lease Year of each Extended Term for the Group 3 Facilities,
if any, the initial monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for each
Group 3 Facility shall be equal to the greater of (a) the then
current monthly Fair Market Rental for such Group 3 Facility
and (b) the monthly Allocated Minimum Rent payable for such
Group 3 Facility during the last Lease Year of the immediately
preceding Term. Commencing upon the expiration of the first (1
st )
Lease Year of each Extended Term for the Group 3 Facilities,
if any, and upon the expiration of each Lease Year thereafter
during such Extended Term, the then-current monthly Allocated
Minimum Rent for each Group 3 Facility shall be adjusted by an
amount equal to the applicable Group 3 Facility
Escalator.
If
any adjustment for any Facility provided for in subsections
(b), (c) or (d) shall not have been made at the commencement
of the Lease Year for which applicable, Lessee shall continue
to pay monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for such Facility at the
last rate applicable until Lessee receives Lessor's written
notice as to such adjustment. Within ten (10) days after
Lessee's receipt of Lessor's notice, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor an amount equal to the new monthly Allocated Minimum
Rent for such Facility times the number of months from
the commencement of the then current Lease Year to the date of
receipt of Lessor's notice, less the aggregate amount paid by
Lessee on account of monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for such
Facility for the same period. Thereafter, Lessee shall pay
monthly Allocated Minimum Rent for such Facility for the
applicable Lease Year at the new rate set forth in Lessor's
notice.
3.2
Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent,
(i) Lessee shall also pay and discharge as and when due and
payable all other amounts, liabilities, obligations and
Impositions which Lessee assumes or agrees to pay under this
Lease; and (ii) in the event of any failure on the part of
Lessee to pay any of those items referred to in clause (i)
above, Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge every
fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for
nonpayment or late payment of such items (the items referred
to in clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to herein
collectively as the "Additional Charges").
3.3
Late Payment of Rent.
(a) LESSEE
HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LATE PAYMENT BY LESSEE TO LESSOR OF
RENT WILL CAUSE LESSOR TO INCUR COSTS NOT CONTEMPLATED
HEREUNDER, THE EXACT AMOUNT OF WHICH IS PRESENTLY ANTICIPATED
TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. SUCH COSTS MAY INCLUDE
PROCESSING AND ACCOUNTING CHARGES AND LATE CHARGES WHICH MAY
BE IMPOSED ON LESSOR BY THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN AGREEMENT AND
OTHER EXPENSES OF A SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR NATURE. ACCORDINGLY,
IF ANY INSTALLMENT OF RENT OTHER THAN ADDITIONAL CHARGES
PAYABLE TO A PERSON OTHER THAN LESSOR SHALL NOT BE PAID WITHIN
THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER ITS DUE DATE, LESSEE WILL PAY
LESSOR ON DEMAND A LATE CHARGE EQUAL TO THE LESSER OF (I) FIVE
PERCENT (5%) OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH INSTALLMENT OR (II) THE
MAXIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS
LATE CHARGE REPRESENTS A FAIR AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE
COSTS THAT LESSOR WILL INCUR BY REASON OF LATE PAYMENT BY
LESSEE. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT SUCH LATE CHARGE IS
RENT AND NOT INTEREST AND SUCH ASSESSMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE
A LENDER OR BORROWER/CREDITOR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LESSOR AND
LESSEE. N ADDITION, THE AMOUNT UNPAID, INCLUDING ANY LATE
CHARGES, SHALL BEAR INTEREST AT THE OVERDUE RATE COMPOUNDED
MONTHLY FROM THE DUE DATE OF SUCH INSTALLMENT TO THE DATE OF
PAYMENT THEREOF, AND LESSEE SHALL PAY SUCH INTEREST TO LESSOR
ON DEMAND. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LATE CHARGE OR SUCH INTEREST
SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE WAIVER OF, NOR EXCUSE OR CURE, ANY
DEFAULT UNDER THIS LEASE, NOR PREVENT LESSOR FROM EXERCISING
ANY OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO
LESSOR.

contrary, Lessor may, by written notice to Lessee, elect to

of Default by Lessee hereunder.
(i)
For
purposes of this Section 3.3(b), the following terms and
conditions shall apply:
(A) If
at any given time Lessee shall be more than five (5) Business
Days delinquent in the payment of any Rent due and payable

delinquency shall only constitute a single occasion of
delinquency, despite the fact that such delinquency has
occurred with respect to the payment of Rent for more than one
(1) Facility.
(B) If
the date upon which any Rent is due and payable hereunder is
not a Business Day, such date shall be deemed to be the next
Business Day following such date.
SIMILAR
OR DISSIMILAR NATURE. ACCORDINGLY, IF ANY INSTALLMENT OF RENT
OTHER THAN ADDITIONAL CHARGES PAYABLE TO A PERSON OTHER THAN
LESSOR SHALL NOT BE PAID WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER

EQUAL TO THE LESSER OF (I) FIVE PERCENT (5%) OF THE AMOUNT OF
SUCH INSTALLMENT OR (II) THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS LATE CHARGE REPRESENTS A FAIR AND
REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE COSTS THAT LESSOR WILL INCUR BY
REASON OF LATE PAYMENT BY LESSEE. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE
THAT SUCH LATE CHARGE IS RENT AND NOT INTEREST AND SUCH
ASSESSMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A LENDER OR BORROWER/CREDITOR

SUCH LATE CHARGE OR SUCH INTEREST SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE WAIVER

Net Lease. This Lease is and is intended to be what is
commonly referred to as a "net, net, net" or "triple net"
lease. The Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor, so
that this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the
installments of Minimum Rent and Additional Charges throughout
the Term with respect to each Facility.
3.5
Separate Account. Lessee shall deposit the gross
receipts of each Facility into a separate, segregated bank
account, and Lessee shall provide copies of all bank

4.1
Impositions.
4.1.1 Subject
to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee shall
pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine,
penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment.
Lessee shall make such payments directly to the taxing
authorities where feasible, and promptly furnish to Lessor
copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof
evidencing such payments. Lessee's obligation to pay
Impositions shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such
Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property, any
Capital Additions or any part(s) thereof. If any Imposition
may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in
installments, whether or not interest shall accrue on the
unpaid balance of such Imposition, Lessee may pay the same,
and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition, in installments as the same respectively become
due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest
or cost may be added thereto.
4.1.2 Lessor
shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be
required by Legal Requirements with respect to Lessor's net
income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its
capital stock, and Lessee shall prepare and file all other
tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal
Requirements.
4.1.3 Any
refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any
Imposition paid by Lessee shall be paid over to or retained by
Lessee if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder
and be continuing. Any other refund shall be paid over to or
retained by Lessor.
4.1.4 Lessor
and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide such
data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is
made with respect to the Leased Property and all Capital
Additions as may be necessary to prepare any required returns
and reports. If any property covered by this Lease is
classified as personal property for tax purposes, Lessee
shall file all personal property tax returns in such
jurisdictions where it must legally so file. Lessor, to the
extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it
possesses the same, shall provide the other party, upon
request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for
filing returns for any property so classified as personal
property. Where Lessor is legally required to file personal
property tax returns and to the extent practicable, Lessee
shall be provided with copies of assessment notices
indicating a value in excess of the reported value in
sufficient time for Lessee to file a protest.
4.1.5 Lessee
may, upon notice to Lessor, at Lessee's option and at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute
such other proceedings as Lessee may deem appropriate to
effect a reduction of real estate or personal property
assessments and Lessor, at Lessee's expense as aforesaid,
shall reasonably cooperate with Lessee in such protest,
appeal, or other action but at no cost or expense to Lessor.
Billings for reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of personal
property or real property taxes shall be accompanied by
copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify
the personal property or real property with respect to which
such payments are made.
4.1.6 Lessor
shall give prompt notice to Lessee of all Impositions payable
by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor has knowledge, but
Lessor's failure to give any such notice shall in no way
diminish Lessee's obligations hereunder to pay such
Impositions.
4.1.7 Impositions
imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the
Term terminates with respect to any Facility shall be adjusted
and prorated between Lessor and Lessee with respect to such
Facility, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or
after such termination.
4.2
Utilities. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all
charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other
utilities used in the Leased Property and all Capital
Additions. Lessee shall also pay or reimburse Lessor for all
costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever which at any time
with respect to the Term hereof with respect to any Facility
may be imposed against Lessor by reason of any of the
covenants, conditions and/or restrictions affecting the Leased
Property of such Facility, any Capital Additions of such
Facility and/or any part(s) thereof, or with respect to
easements, licenses or other rights over, across or with
respect to any adjacent or other property which benefits the
Leased Property and/or any Capital Additions of such Facility,
including any and all costs and expenses associated with any
utility, drainage and parking easements.
4.3
Insurance. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all
premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained
by Lessee hereunder.
4.4
Impound Account. Lessor may, at its option to be
exercised by thirty (30) days' written notice to Lessee,
require Lessee to deposit, at the time of any payment of
Minimum Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth of Lessee's
estimated annual taxes, of every kind and nature, required
pursuant to Section 4.1 plus one-twelfth of Lessee's estimated
annual insurance premiums required pursuant to Section 4.3
into an impound account as directed by Lessor. Such amounts
shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in respect
of which said amounts were deposited in such order of priority
as Lessor shall determine, on or before the respective dates
on which the same or any of them would become delinquent. The
cost of administering such impound account shall be paid by
Lessee. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to affect
any right or remedy of Lessor hereunder.
4.5
Tax Service. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall, at
its sole cost and expense, cause to be furnished to Lessor a
tax reporting service, to be designated by Lessor, covering
the Leased Property and all Capital Additions.
ARTICLE
V.
5.1
No Termination, Abatement, etc. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Lease, Lessee shall remain
bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall
not seek or be entitled to any abatement, deduction,
deferment or reduction of Rent, or set-off against the Rent.
The respective obligations of Lessor and Lessee shall not be
affected by reason of (i) any damage to or destruction of the
Leased Property, any Capital Additions and/or any part(s)
thereof from whatever cause and/or any Condemnation of the
Leased Property, any Capital Additions and/or any part(s)
thereof; (ii) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or
restriction upon, Lessee's use of the Leased Property, any
Capital Additions and/or any part(s) thereof, the
interference with such use by any Person or by reason of
eviction by paramount title; (iii) any claim that Lessee has
or might have against Lessor by reason of any default or
breach of any warranty by Lessor hereunder or under any other
agreement between Lessor and Lessee or to which Lessor and
Lessee are parties; (iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Lessor
or any assignee or transferee of Lessor; or (v) for any other
cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing,
other than a discharge of Lessee from any such obligations as
a matter of law. Lessee hereby specifically waives all rights
arising from any occurrence whatsoever which may now or
hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to modify,
surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the
Leased Property, any Capital Additions and/or any part(s)
thereof; or (b) which may entitle Lessee to any abatement,
reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums
payable by Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Lease. The obligations of Lessor and Lessee
hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and
agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Lessee
hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless
the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant
to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of
this Lease other than by reason of an Event of
Default.
5.2
Termination with Respect to Fewer than All of the
Facilities. Wherever in this Lease the action of
terminating the Lease with respect to a Facility (or action
of similar import) is discussed, such action shall mean the
termination of Lessee's rights in and to the Leased Property
relating to such Facility. Notwithstanding anything in this
Lease to the contrary, if this Lease shall be terminated by
Lessor or Lessee pursuant to rights granted hereunder with
respect to any Facility, such termination shall not affect
the applicable Term of this Lease with respect to the balance
of the Facilities not so terminated by Lessor, and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to each
other such Facility, except that the total Minimum Rent
payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of Allocated
Minimum Rent with respect to such Facility as to which this
Lease has so terminated, subject, however, to Lessor's right,
in the event of a termination because of an Event of Default,
to recover damages with respect to any such Facility as to
which this Lease has been terminated as provided in Article
XVI. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall serve in any
way to limit Lessor's ability, pursuant to Section 16.2
below, to terminate this Lease with respect to any or all of
the Facilities if an Event of Default shall have occurred
under this Lease, regardless of whether such Event of Default
emanated primarily from a single Facility.
5.3
Abatement Procedures. In the event of a partial taking
by Condemnation of any Facility as described in Section
15.1.2, which taking by Condemnation does not render the
Leased Property of such Facility Unsuitable for its Primary
Intended Use, this Lease shall not terminate with respect to
the Leased Property of such Facility, but the monthly
Allocated Minimum Rent for such Facility shall be abated in
the manner and to the extent that is fair, just and equitable
to both Lessee and Lessor, primarily taking into
consideration, along with other relevant factors, the number
of usable beds affected by such partial taking by
Condemnation. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon
the amount of such abatement within sixty (60) days after
such partial taking by Condemnation, either party may submit
the matter to arbitration as provided in Article XLIV
below.
ARTICLE
VI.
6.1
Ownership of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges
that the Leased Property is the property of Lessor and that
Lessee has only the right to the exclusive possession and use
of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this
Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease with respect to any Facility Lessee shall, at its
expense, repair and restore the Leased Property relating to
such Facility to the condition required by Section
9.1.4.
6.2
Personal Property. During the Term, Lessee shall, as
necessary and at its expense, install, affix or assemble or
place on any parcels of the Land or in any of the Leased
Improvements, any items of Lessee's Personal Property and
replacements thereof which shall be the property of and owned
by Lessee. Except as provided in Sections 6.3 and 16.10,
Lessor shall have no rights to Lessee's Personal Property.
With respect to each Facility, Lessee shall provide and
maintain during the entire Term applicable to such Facility
all Personal Property necessary in order to operate such
Facility in compliance with all licensure and certification
requirements, all Legal Requirements and all Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary
practice in the industry for its Primary Intended
Use.
6.3
Transfer of Personal Property and Capital Additions to
Lessor. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease with respect to a Facility, all Capital Additions not
owned by Lessor and Lessee's Personal Property relating to
such Facility shall become the property of Lessor, free of any
encumbrance and Lessee shall execute all documents and take
any actions reasonably necessary to evidence such ownership
and discharge any encumbrance.

7.1
Condition of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges
receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property of
each Facility and that Lessee has examined and otherwise has
knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property of each
Facility prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease
and, as of (i) with respect to the Group 1 Facilities and
Group 2 Facilities, the Original Lease Commencement Date and
(ii) with respect to the Group 3 Facilities, the Restatement
Date, has found the same to be in good order and repair, free
from Hazardous Substances not in compliance with Legal
Requirements, and satisfactory for its purposes hereunder.
Regardless, however, of any examination or inspection made by
Lessee and whether or not any patent or latent defect or
condition was revealed or discovered thereby, Lessee is
leasing the Leased Property of each Facility "as is" in its
present condition. Lessee waives any claim or action against
Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased Property of
each Facility including any defects or adverse conditions not
discovered or otherwise known by Lessee as of (a) with respect
to the Group 1 Facilities and Group 2 Facilities, the Original
Lease Commencement Date and (b) with respect to the Group 3
Facilities, the Restatement Date. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED
PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR
USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR
OTHERWISE, OR AS TO THE NATURE OR QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR
WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, OR THE EXISTENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS, LATENT OR
PATENT, ARE TO BE BORNE SOLELY BY LESSEE INCLUDING ALL
RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
7.2
Use of the Leased Property
7.2.1 Lessee
covenants that it will obtain and maintain all authorization
and approvals needed to use and operate the Leased Property,
all Capital Additions and each Facility for such Facility's
respective Primary Intended Use and any other use conducted
on the Leased Property and any Capital Additions as may be
permitted from time to time hereunder in accordance with
Legal Requirements including applicable licenses, provider
agreements, permits, and Medicare and/or Medicaid
certification.
7.2.2 Lessee
shall use or cause to be used the Leased Property, all
Capital Additions and the improvements thereon of each
Facility for its Primary Intended Use. Lessee shall not use
the Leased Property, any Capital Additions or any part(s)
thereof for any other use without the prior written consent
of Lessor, which consent Lessor may withhold in its sole
discretion.
7.2.3 Lessee
shall operate continuously the entire Leased Property and all
Capital Additions of each Facility in accordance with its
Primary Intended Use; provided, however, that Lessee shall be
relieved of such obligation to continuously operate the
Leased Property and all Capital Additions of each Facility to
the extent reasonably necessary (a) to complete any repair or
restoration of the Leased Property and Capital Additions of
any Facility pursuant to the terms of Sections 14.2, 14.3 and
15.1.3, as applicable, (b) to complete any Capital Additions
to the Leased Property or any Facility that are consented to
by Lessor in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 below,
and (c) as a result of any cause described in Section 45.1.16
below. Lessee shall devote the entirety of each Facility and
all Capital Additions thereto to the Primary Intended Use,
except for areas reasonably required for office or storage
space uses incidental to the Primary Intended Use. Lessee
shall not modify the services offered or take any other
action (e.g., removing patients or residents from any
Facility or directing patients or residents, or prospective
patients or residents, to another Facility) which would
materially reduce Gross Revenues or the Fair Market Value of
any such Facility. Lessee shall at all times maintain an
adequate staff for the service of its residents and/or
patients, in each case assuming an occupancy and/or use level
for each Facility which is not less than the average
occupancy and/or use level for similar facilities in the
State. Lessee shall employ its best judgment, efforts and
abilities to operate
the entirety of each Facility in such a manner so as to
maximize Gross Revenues and to enhance the reputation and
attractiveness of each Facility.
7.2.4 Lessee
shall conduct its business at each Facility in conformity
with the highest standards of patient or resident care
practice provided in similar facilities in the
State.
7.2.5 Lessee
shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the
Leased Property and/or on or to any Capital Additions or cause
or permit any nuisance to exist thereon or with respect
thereto.
7.2.6 Lessee
shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property, any
Capital Additions, or any part(s) thereof, or Lessee's
Personal Property, to be used in such a manner as (i) might
reasonably tend to impair Lessor's title thereto or to any
portion thereof or (ii) may make possible a claim of adverse
use or possession, or an implied dedication of the Leased
Property, any Capital Additions or any part(s)
thereof.
7.3
Lessor to Grant Easements, etc. Lessor shall, from time
to time so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, at the request of Lessee and at Lessee's cost and
expense, but subject to the approval of Lessor, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (i) grant
easements and other rights in the nature of easements; (ii)
release existing easements or other rights in the nature of
easements which are for the benefit of the Leased Property;
(iii) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Leased
Property for road, highway or other public purposes; (iv)
execute petitions to have the Leased Property annexed to any
municipal corporation or utility district; (v) execute
amendments to any covenants, conditions and restrictions
affecting the Leased Property; and (vi) execute and deliver to
any Person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect
such grants, releases, dedications and transfers to the extent
of its interest in the Leased Property, but only upon delivery
to Lessor of an Officer's Certificate stating that such grant
release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is not
detrimental to the proper conduct of the business of Lessee on
the Leased Property and does not materially reduce the value
of the Leased Property.
7.4
Preservation of Facility Value. Lessee acknowledges
that a fair return to Lessor on its investment in the Leased
Property and all Capital Additions is dependent, in part, on
the concentration on the Leased Property during the Term of
the assisted living business of Lessee and its Affiliates in
the geographical area of the Leased Property. Lessee further
acknowledges that diversion of residents and/or patients, as
applicable, from any Facility to other facilities or
institutions owned, operated or managed, whether directly or
indirectly, by Lessee or its Affiliates will have a material
adverse impact on the value and utility of the Leased Property
and all Capital Additions. Accordingly, Lessor and Lessee
agree as follows:
7.4.1 During
the Term with respect to each Facility and for a period of
two (2) years thereafter, neither Lessee nor any of its
Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall operate, own,
manage or have any interest in or otherwise participate in or
receive revenues from any other facility or institution
providing services or similar goods to those provided in
connection with any Facility and the Primary Intended Use
within the Prohibited Area. All distances shall be measured
on a straight line rather than on a driving distance basis.
In the event that any portion of such other facility or
institution is located within such Prohibited Area the entire
facility or institution shall be deemed located within such
Prohibited Area.
7.4.2 [Intentionally
Omitted]
7.4.3 Except
as required for medically appropriate reasons, prior to and
after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Lessee shall not recommend or solicit the removal or transfer
of any resident or patient from any Facility to any other
facility or institution.
ARTICLE

8.1
Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements,
Instruments, etc. Subject to Article XII
regarding permitted contests, Lessee, at its expense, shall
promptly (i) comply with all Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements regarding the use, operation, maintenance, repair
and restoration of the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal
Property and all Capital Additions whether or not compliance
therewith may require structural changes in any of the Leased
Improvements or Capital Additions thereto or interfere with
the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property and (ii) procure,
maintain and comply with all licenses, certificates of need,
provider agreements and other authorizations required for the
use of the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal Property and all
Capital Additions for the applicable Primary Intended Use and
any other use of the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal
Property and all Capital Additions then being made, and for
the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance
of the Leased Property, Lessee's Personal Property and all
Capital Additions. Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter upon the Leased Property and all Capital Additions
thereto and take such actions and incur such costs and
expenses to effect such compliance as it deems advisable to
protect its interest in the Leased Property and Capital
Additions thereto, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with such
actions. Lessee covenants and agrees that the Leased Property,
Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital Additions shall not
be used for any unlawful purpose.
ARTICLE

9.1
Maintenance and Repair
9.1.1 Lessee,
at its expense, shall maintain the Leased Property, and every
portion thereof, Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital
Additions, and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs
appurtenant to the Leased Property, and which are under
Lessee's control in good order and repair whether or not the
need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any
prior use, the elements or the age of the Leased Property,
Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital Additions, and,
with reasonable promptness, make all necessary and
appropriate repairs thereto of every kind and nature,
including those necessary to comply with changes in any Legal
Requirements, whether interior or exterior, structural or
nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen or arising by reason of a condition existing prior
to (a) with respect to the Group 1 Facilities and Group 2
Facilities, the applicable Original Lease Commencement Date,
and (b) with respect to the Group 3 Facilities, the
Restatement Date. All repairs shall be at least equivalent in
quality to the original work. Lessee will not take or omit to
take any action the taking or omission of which might
materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased
Property of any Facility or any part thereof or any Capital
Addition thereto for its Primary Intended Use.
9.1.2 Lessor
shall not under any circumstances be required to (i) build or
rebuild any improvements on the Leased Property or any
Capital Additions; (ii) make any repairs, replacements,
alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature to the
Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary,
structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to
make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto; or
(iii) maintain the Leased Property or any Capital Additions
in any way. Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by
law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor
pursuant to any law in effect at the time of the execution of
this Lease or hereafter enacted.
9.1.3 Nothing
contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by Lessor
shall be construed as (i) constituting the consent or request
of Lessor, expressed or implied, to any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to or for the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any
materials or other property for the construction, alteration,
addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property
or any part thereof or any Capital Addition thereto; or (ii)
giving Lessee any right, power or permission to contract for
or permit the performance of any labor or services or the
furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion
as would permit the making of any claim against Lessor in
respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or
in any way be the basis for, any right, title, interest,
lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor in
the Leased Property, or any portion thereof or any Capital
Addition thereto.
9.1.4 Unless
Lessor shall convey any of the Leased Property to Lessee
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon
the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with
respect to a Facility, vacate and surrender the Leased
Property, Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital
Additions in each case with respect to such Facility, to
Lessor in the condition in which such Leased Property was
originally received from Lessor and such Lessee's Personal
Property and Capital Additions were originally introduced to
such Facility, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered
or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of
this Lease and except for ordinary wear and
tear.
9.2
Encroachments, Restrictions, Mineral Leases, etc. If
any of the Leased Improvements or Capital Additions shall, at
any time, encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way,
or shall violate any restrictive covenant or other agreement
affecting the Leased Property, or any part thereof or any
Capital Addition thereto, or shall impair the rights of others
under any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased
Property is subject, or the use of the Leased Property or any
Capital Addition thereto is impaired, limited or interfered
with by reason of the exercise of the right of surface entry
or any other provision of a lease or reservation of any oil,
gas, water or other minerals, then promptly upon the request
of Lessor or any Person affected by any such encroachment,
violation or impairment, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense,
but subject to its right to contest the existence of any such
encroachment, violation or impairment, shall protect,
indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessor from and against
all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages,
penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees and
expenses) based on or arising by reason of any such
encroachment, violation or impairment. In the event of an
adverse final determination with respect to any such
encroachment, violation or impairment, Lessee shall either (i)
obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all
claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such
encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall
affect Lessor or Lessee; or (ii) make such changes in the
Leased Improvements and any Capital Addition thereto, and take
such other actions, as Lessee in the good faith exercise of
its judgment deems reasonably practicable, to remove such
encroachment or to end such violation or impairment,
including, if necessary, the alteration of any of the Leased
Improvements or any Capital Addition thereto, and in any event
take all such actions as may be necessary in order to be able
to continue the operation of the Leased Improvements and any
Capital Addition thereto for the Primary Intended Use
substantially in the manner and to the extent the Leased
Improvements and Capital Additions were operated prior to the
assertion of such encroachment, violation or impairment.
Lessee's obligations under this Section 9.2 shall be in
addition to and shall in no way discharge or diminish any
obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other
insurance and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not
necessary to compensate Lessor for any damages incurred by any
such encroachment, violation or impairment, Lessee shall be
entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Lessor under
any such policy of title or other insurance.
9.3
Capital Projects.
9.3.1 Without
in any way limiting Lessee's obligations under this Article
IX, Lessee shall expend during each Lease Year for the Group 3
Facilities, no less than the Annual Minimum Capital Project
Amount for each of the Group 3 Facilities for Capital Projects
to such Group 3 Facilities. Such Capital Projects shall be
performed and completed in compliance with the applicable
provisions of this Lease, including the applicable provisions
of Article X hereof. Promptly following the expiration of each
Lease Year for the Group 3 Facilities, Lessee shall furnish to
Lessor reasonable documentary evidence as to the completion of
all Capital Projects for such Lease Year required pursuant to
this Section 9.3, together with the costs thereof. If Lessee
fails to expend during each Lease Year the applicable Annual
Minimum Capital Project Amount for Capital Projects to any
Group 3 Facility, then, without limiting any rights or
remedies afforded Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Lease
for a breach by Lessee of its obligation hereunder, Lessee
shall promptly deposit with Lessor as a repair and replacement
reserve with respect to such Group 3 Facility (a "Replacement
Reserve") for Capital Projects to such Group 3 Facility, an
amount equal to (a) the Annual Minimum Capital Project Amount
for such Group 3 Facility less (b) the sum of (i) the amounts
expended by Lessee during such Lease Year on account of
Capital Projects to such Group 3 Facility and (ii) the Annual
Minimum Capital Project Amount Overage for such Group 3
Facility. So long as no Event of Default or an event or
circumstance has occurred which with notice or passage of
time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder
has occurred, if (i) a Replacement Reserve has been
established for any Group 3 Facility and (ii) Lessee expends
in any Lease Year an amount in excess of the applicable Annual
Minimum Capital Project Amount for Capital Projects for such
Group 3 Facility, Lessor shall, to the extent funds are
available for such purpose in such Replacement Reserve,
disburse to Lessee the Capital Project Costs incurred and paid
by Lessee during such Lease Year in performing such Capital
Projects to such Group 3 Facility in excess of the applicable
Annual Minimum Capital Project Amount for such Group 3
Facility for such Lease Year. Any such disbursement from any
Replacement Reserve shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee within
fifteen (15) days following: (a) receipt by Lessor of a
written request from Lessee for disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve for such Group 3 Facility and a
certification by Lessee in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor that the applicable item of Capital
Project for such Group 3 Facility has been completed; (b)
delivery to Lessor of paid invoices, receipts or other
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, verifying (1) the
Capital Project Costs for such Capital Project and (2) that
Lessee has expended in the applicable Lease Year an amount in
excess of the applicable Annual Minimum Capital Project Amount
for Capital Projects for such Group 3 Facility; and (c)
delivery to Lessor of affidavits, lien waivers or other
evidence satisfactory to Lessor showing that all materialmen,
laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or
could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing
or have furnished material or labor to the Leased Property of
such Group 3 Facility have been paid all amounts due for labor
and materials furnished to the Leased Property of such Group 3
Facility. Lessor shall not be required to make advances from
any Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any
thirty (30) day period. Amounts held in the Replacement
Reserve for any Group 3 Facility may not be used to pay for or
reimburse Lessee for Capital Project Costs for any other
Facility.
9.3.2 No
Replacement Reserve shall be or be deemed to be escrow or
trust funds, but, at Lessor's option and in Lessor's
discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be
commingled by Lessor with the general funds of Lessor. Lessee
shall not be entitled to any interest on any funds contained
in any Replacement Reserve. The Replacement Reserves are
solely for the protection of Lessor and the Leased Property
of the Group 3 Facilities and entail no responsibility on
Lessor's part beyond the payment of the respective items for
which they are held following receipt of bills, invoices or
statements therefor in accordance with the terms of this
Section 9.3 and beyond the allowing of due credit for the
sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Lease by
Lessor, any funds in any Replacement Reserve shall be turned
over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lessor, as
assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate.
9.3.3 If
any funds remain in any Replacement Reserve upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect
to any Group 3 Facility, the same shall be paid over to
Lessor as an Additional Charge and Rent under this Lease and
shall be in addition to Minimum Rent and all other Additional
Charges payable hereunder.
9.4
Inspections; Due Diligence Fee. Without limiting
Lessor's rights pursuant to Section 26.1 hereof, from time to
time during the Term, Lessor and its agents shall have the
right to inspect the Leased Property and any portion thereof
and all systems contained therein at any reasonable time to
determine Lessee's compliance with its obligations under this
Lease. Lessor shall provide Lessee with at least two (2)
Business Days' prior written notice prior to any inspections
of the Leased Property pursuant to the terms of this Section
9.4, except in the event of an emergency, in which case no
prior notice shall be required. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor
for all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection
with the inspections provided for in this Section 9.4 promptly
following its receipt of Lessor's invoice therefore, which
costs shall not exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00)
annually.
ARTICLE

10.1
Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased
Property. Without the prior written consent of Lessor
which consent may be withheld or granted by Lessor in its sole
and absolute discretion, Lessee shall make no Capital
Additions on or structural alterations to the Leased Property
and shall not enlarge or reduce the size of any
Facility.
ARTICLE
XI.
11.1
Liens. Subject to the provisions of Article XII
relating to permitted contests, Lessee will not directly or
indirectly create or allow to remain and will promptly
discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment,
title retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Property of
any Facility or any Capital Addition thereto or any
attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent,
excluding, however, (i) this Lease; (ii) the matters that
existed as of (a) with respect to the Group 1 Facilities and
Group 2 Facilities, the Original Lease Commencement Date, with
respect to such Group 1 Facility or Group 2 Facility and (b)
with respect to the Group 3 Facilities, the Restatement Date,
with respect to such Group 3 Facility; (iii) restrictions,

by Lessor, or any easements granted pursuant to the provisions
of Section 7.3; (iv) liens for Impositions which Lessee is not
required to pay hereunder; (v) subleases permitted by Article
XXIV; (vi) liens for Impositions not yet delinquent; (vii)
liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or
vendors for amounts not yet due; and (viii) any liens which
are the responsibility of Lessor pursuant to the provisions of
Article XXXVI.
ARTICLE
XII.
12.1
Permitted Contests. Lessee, upon prior written notice
to Lessor, on its own or in Lessor's name, at Lessee's
expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount,
validity or application, in whole or in part, of any licensure
or certification decision, Imposition, Legal Requirement,
Insurance Requirement, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim; subject, however, to the further requirement
that (i) in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien,
attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the
commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall
suspend the collection thereof from Lessor and from the Leased
Property or any Capital Addition thereto; (ii) neither the
Leased Property or any Capital Addition thereto, the Rent
therefrom nor any part or interest in either thereof would be
in any danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost
pending the outcome of such proceedings; (iii) in the case of
a Legal Requirement, neither Lessor nor Lessee would be in any
danger of civil or criminal liability for failure to comply
therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings; (iv) if any
such contest shall involve a sum of money or potential loss in
excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor and its counsel an opinion of legal counsel
reasonably acceptable to Lessor to the effect set forth in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, to the extent applicable;
(v) in the case of a Legal Requirement, Imposition, lien,
encumbrance or charge, Lessee shall give such reasonable
security as may be required by Lessor to insure ultimate
payment of the same and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of
the Leased Property or any Capital Addition thereto or the
Rent by reason of such nonpayment or noncompliance; and (vi)
in the case of an Insurance Requirement, the coverage required
by Article XIII shall be maintained. If any such contest is
finally resolved against Lessor or Lessee, Lessee shall
promptly pay the amount required to be paid, together with all
interest and penalties accrued thereon, or comply with the
applicable Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement. Lessor,
at Lessee's expense, shall execute and deliver to Lessee such
authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be
required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by
Lessee or if Lessor so desires, Lessor shall join as a party
therein. The provisions of this Article XII shall not be
construed to permit Lessee to contest the payment of Rent or
any other amount payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder. Lessee
shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Lessor harmless from
and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that
may be imposed upon Lessor in connection with any such contest
and any loss resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE

13.1
General Insurance Requirements. During the Term, Lessee
shall at all times keep the Leased Property, and all property
located in or on the Leased Property, including Capital
Additions, the Fixtures and the Personal Property, insured
with the kinds and amounts of insurance described below. Each
element of insurance described in this Article shall be
maintained with respect to the Leased Property of each
Facility, including the Capital Additions, Fixtures, Personal
Property and operations thereon. This insurance shall be
written by companies authorized to do insurance business in
the State in which the Leased Property is located. All
liability type policies must name Lessor as an "additional
insured." All property, loss of rental and business
interruption type policies shall name Lessor as "loss payee."

("Facility Mortgagee") securing any indebtedness or any other
Encumbrance placed on the Leased Property in accordance with
the provisions of Article XXXVI ("Facility Mortgage") by way
of a standard form of mortgagee's loss payable endorsement.
Any loss adjustment shall require the written consent of
Lessor, Lessee, and each Facility Mortgagee. Evidence of
insurance shall be deposited with Lessor and, if requested,
with any Facility Mortgagee(s). If any provision of any
Facility Mortgage requires deposits of insurance to be made
with such Facility Mortgagee, Lessee shall either pay to
Lessor monthly the amounts required and Lessor shall transfer
such amounts to each Facility Mortgagee, or, pursuant to
written direction by Lessor, Lessee shall make such deposits
directly with such Facility Mortgagee. The policies shall
insure against the following risks with respect to each
Facility:
13.1.1
Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief,
extended coverage perils commonly known as special form
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 13.2) and
including a building ordinance coverage
endorsement;
