AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement ("Lease") is
made
effective as of July 1, 2001 (the "Effective Date") among HEALTH
CARE REIT,
INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware ("HCRI"
and a "Landlord" as further defined in Section 1.4 below), HCRI

laws of the

a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware
("HCRI-TN" and a
"Landlord"), and HCRI TEXAS PROPERTIES, LTD., a limited
partnership organized
under the laws of the State of Texas ("HCRI-TX" and a
"Landlord"), each Landlord
having its principal office located at One SeaGate, Suite 1500,
P.O. Box 1475,
Toledo, Ohio 43603-1475, and ALTERRA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION, a
corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Tenant"),
having its chief

R E C I T A L S
A. Tenant is the tenant of the Leased Property (defined
below)
pursuant to numerous Lease Agreements by and between Landlord
and Tenant, or
Tenant's predecessor in interest, including a certain Lease
Agreement between
Health Care REIT, Inc. and Alternative Living Services, Inc.
d/b/a Alterra dated
May 19, 1999 for the facility known as Clare Bridge of Everett
and located in
Everett, Washington ("Everett Lease").
B. Landlord and Tenant desire to consolidate all leases by
and
between Landlord and Tenant into the Everett Lease and to amend
and restate the
Everett Lease as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1: LEASED PROPERTY, TERM AND DEFINITIONS
1.1 Leased Property. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and
Tenant
hereby leases from Landlord the Leased Property, subject,
however, to the
Permitted Exceptions and subject to the terms and conditions of
this Lease.
1.2 Indivisible Lease. This Lease constitutes one indivisible
lease
of the entire Leased Property. The Leased Property constitutes
one economic unit
and the Base Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated
and agreed to
based on a lease of all of the Leased Property as a single,
composite,
inseparable transaction and would have been materially different
had separate
leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly
provided herein
for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent
expressly otherwise
stated), all provisions of this Lease shall apply equally and
uniformly to all
the Leased Property as one unit and any Event of Default under
this Lease is an
Event of Default as to the entire Leased Property. The parties
intend that the
provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed,
interpreted and
applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create a
single indivisible
lease of all the Leased Property and, in particular but without
limitation, that
for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this
Lease under the
Bankruptcy Code, this is one indivisible and
<PAGE>
non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one
legal and economic
unit which must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with
respect to all
(and only all) the Leased Property covered hereby. The parties
agree that the
existence of more than one Landlord under this Lease does not
affect the
indivisible, non-severable nature of this Lease. The parties may
amend this
Lease from time to time to include one or more additional
Facility Properties as
part of the Leased Property and such future addition to the
Leased Property
shall not in any way change the indivisible and non-severable
nature of this
Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to
apply in full force.
1.3 Term. The initial term ("Initial Term") of this Lease
commences
on the Effective Date and expires at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Time
on the
fifteenth anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "Expiration
Date");
provided, however, that [i] Tenant has one or more options to
renew the Lease
pursuant to Article 12, and [ii] that any addition to the Leased
Property
pursuant to amendment of this Lease shall extend the Initial
Term so that the
Initial Term shall expire on the fifteenth anniversary of the
Amended
Commencement Date as set forth in such amendment.

the Effective Date
is not the first day of a month, Tenant shall pay Landlord Base

Date. The Base Rent

sum of the products of each Lease Advance times the Lease Rate
for each Lease
Advance. The Base Rent for the Renewal Term will be computed in

- 9 -
<PAGE>
including any Renewal Term and Extended Term, (each such date
shall be herein
defined as "Rent Adjustment Date") the Base Rent shall increase
to an amount
equal to the Base Rent for the prior Lease plus the lesser of
(a) the Maximum
Rent Adjustment (defined below), or (b) an amount determined by
multiplying the
Base Rent then in effect times a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the
CPI Index on the applicable Rent Adjustment Date and the
denominator of which
shall be the CPI Index on the preceding Rent Adjustment Date (or
on the
Effective Date in the case of the first Rent Adjustment
Date).
If, for any Lease Year or any portion thereof, the Base Rent
is
adjusted in accordance with clause (b) above, then the
difference between the
Base Rent for such Lease Year, and the Base Rent for such Lease
Year if adjusted
in accordance with clause (a) above shall be referred to herein
as the "Rent
Shortfall". If, for any Lease Year, the Base Rent is adjusted in
accordance with
clause (a), then the difference between the Base Rent for such
Lease Year and
the Base Rent for such Lease Year if adjusted in accordance with
clause (b),
shall be referred to herein as the "Rent Surplus".
Any Rent Surplus for a Lease Year shall be applied first to
payment
of the unpaid balance of any Rent Shortfalls for any previous
Lease Years.
As used herein, the "Maximum Rent Adjustment" shall be the Base
Rent
in any applicable year, which would result solely by
multiplying, in each year,
on the Rent Adjustment Date, the Base Rent then in effect (as
adjusted pursuant
to this Section 2.2 only) by 1.025.
As used herein, the "CPI Index" shall mean and refer to the
Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, U.S.

Statistics of the U.S.

Index in its
present form and calculated on its present basis is discontinued
or transferred
to any other governmental department or bureau, then the index
most nearly the
same as the CPI Index published by the Bureau of Labor
statistics shall be used.
If there is no such similar index, a substitute index which is
then generally
recognized as being similar to the CPI Index shall be used, such
substitute
index to be reasonably selected by Landlord. Until the CPI Index
is established,
Tenant shall pay the Base Rent calculated in accordance with
clause (a) above,
and once the CPI Index for the Rent Adjustment Date of such
Lease Year is
published, the new Base Rent (as increased) shall be effective
retroactively as
of the Rent Adjustment Date with the remaining payments to be
adjusted ratably.
2.3 Additional Rent. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay
all
other amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions which
Tenant assumes or
agrees to pay under this Lease and any fine, penalty, interest,
charge and cost
which may be added for nonpayment or late payment of such items
(collectively

and contractual
rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Lease or by
statute or
otherwise in the case of nonpayment of the Rent.

any abatement,
deduction, recoupment, deferment or reduction of Rent, or
set-off against the

obligations of Landlord
and Tenant shall not be affected by reason of [i] any damage to,
or destruction
of, the Leased Property or any part thereof from whatever cause
or any Taking
(as hereinafter defined) of the Leased Property or any part
thereof; [ii] the
lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant's
use of the
Leased Property, or any part thereof, the interference with such
use by any
person, corporation, partnership or other entity, or by reason
of eviction by
paramount title (subject to the provisions of Article 10); [iii]
any claim which
Tenant has or might have against Landlord or by reason of any
default or breach
of any warranty by Landlord under this Lease or any other
agreement between
Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are
parties; [iv] any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,
readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution, winding up or other proceeding affecting Landlord
or any assignee
or transferee of Landlord; or [v] any other cause, whether

any such
obligations as a matter of law. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in
this Lease, Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights,
arising from any
occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred
upon it by law
[a] to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or
surrender the Leased
Property or any portion thereof; or [b] entitling Tenant to any
abatement,
reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums
payable by Tenant
hereunder. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder
shall be separate
and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all
other sums payable
by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events

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.

all
rates under this Lease will be computed based on the actual
number of days
elapsed over a 360-day year (365/360 method).

3.1 Payment of Impositions. Tenant shall pay, as Additional
Rent,

<PAGE>
or any part thereof. Tenant, at its expense, shall prepare and

such data as is
maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect
to the Leased
Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and
reports. In the
event governmental authorities classify any property covered by
this Lease as
personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax
returns in such
jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Landlord, to the
extent it possesses
the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, will
provide the
other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records
necessary for
filing returns for any property so classified as personal
property. Where
Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax
returns, Tenant will
be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a value
in excess of
the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a
protest. Tenant may,
upon notice to Landlord, at Tenant's option and at Tenant's sole
cost and
expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as
Tenant may deem
appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal
property
assessments and Landlord, at Tenant's expense as aforesaid,
shall fully
cooperate with Tenant in such protest, appeal, or other action.
Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all personal property taxes paid by
Landlord within 30
days after receipt of billings accompanied by copies of a bill
therefor and
payments thereof which identify the personal property with
respect to which such
payments are made. Impositions imposed in respect to the
tax-fiscal period
during which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and prorated
between Landlord
and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or
after such
termination, and Tenant's obligation to pay or Landlord's
obligation to refund
its prorated share thereof shall survive such termination.

[i] taxes (including, without limitation, all capital stock and

of Landlord imposed by the State or any governmental entity in

imposed by the State or any governmental entity in the State

charges, in each case
whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, or
foreseen or
unforeseen, of every character in respect of the Leased Property
or any part
thereof and/or the Rent (including all interest and penalties
thereon due to any

interest in the Leased Property or any part thereof; [b] the

Property or the
leasing or use of the Leased Property or any part thereof.
Tenant shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax based on net income (whether
denominated as
a franchise or capital stock or other tax) imposed on Landlord
by any
governmental entity other than as described in clause [i]
above.
3.3 Escrow of Impositions. If an Event of Default occurs and
while
it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord's election,
deposit with Landlord
on the first day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the
Impositions assessed
against the Leased Property for the preceding tax year, which
sums shall be used
by Landlord toward prompt payment of such Impositions. Tenant,
on demand, shall
pay to Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and
discharge the
obligations of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section
. The receipt
by Landlord of the payment of such Impositions by and from
Tenant shall only be
as an accommodation to Tenant, the mortgagees, and the taxing
authorities, and
shall not be construed as rent or income to Landlord, Landlord
serving, if at
all, only as a conduit for delivery purposes.
3.4 Utilities. Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, as
Additional
Rent, all taxes, assessments, charges, deposits, and bills for
utilities,
including, without limitation, charges for water, gas, oil,

preceding Lease
Year, which sums shall be used by Landlord to promptly pay such
utilities.
Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord any additional amount
needed to pay
such utilities. Landlord's receipt of such payments shall only
be an
accommodation to Tenant and the utility companies and shall not
constitute rent
or income to Landlord. Tenant shall at all times maintain that
amount of heat
necessary to ensure against the freezing of water lines. Tenant
hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any
liability or damages
to the utility systems and the Leased Property that may result
from Tenant's
failure to maintain sufficient heat in the Improvements unless
the failure
arises from Landlord's failure to make prompt payment of utility
expenses to the
extent that funds for such expenses have been deposited with
Landlord under this
Section .
3.5 Discontinuance of Utilities. Landlord will not be liable
for
damages to person or property or for injury to, or interruption
of, business for
any discontinuance of utilities nor will such discontinuance in
any way be
construed as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent
or operate to
release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease
unless Landlord
has failed to make prompt payment of utility expenses to the
extent that funds
for such expenses have been deposited with Landlord under
Section 3.4 above.
3.6 Business Expenses. Tenant shall promptly pay all expenses
and
costs incurred in connection with the operation of the Facility

legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the amount or
validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition
or any Legal
Requirement or insurance requirement or any lien, attachment,
levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim provided that [i] in the case of an unpaid
Imposition, lien,
attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the commencement
and
continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection
thereof from
Landlord and from the Leased Property; [ii] neither the Leased
Property nor any
Rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest therein would be
in any
immediate danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost;
[iii] in the case
of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any immediate
danger of civil
or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith pending
the outcome of
such proceedings; [iv] in the event that any such contest shall
involve a sum of
money or potential loss in excess of $50,000.00, Tenant shall
deliver to
Landlord and its counsel an opinion of Tenant's counsel to the
effect set forth
in clauses [i], [ii] and [iii], to the extent applicable; [v] in
the case of a
Legal Requirement and/or an Imposition, lien, encumbrance or
charge, Tenant
shall give such reasonable security as may be demanded by
Landlord to insure
ultimate payment of the same and to prevent any sale or
forfeiture of the
affected Leased Property or the Rent by reason of such
nonpayment or
noncompliance; provided, however, the provisions of this Section
shall not be
construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent
(except as to contests
concerning the method of computation or the basis of levy of any
Imposition or
the basis for the assertion of any other claim) or any other
sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord hereunder; [vi] in the case of an insurance
requirement, the

the
actual replacement cost thereof from time to time, including
increased cost of
construction endorsement, with no reductions or deductions.
Tenant shall, in
connection with each annual policy renewal, deliver to Landlord
a
redetermination of the full replacement value by the insurer or

replacement value.
If Tenant makes any Permitted Alterations (as hereinafter
defined) to the Leased
Property, Landlord may have such full replacement value
redetermined at any time
after such Permitted Alterations are made, regardless of when
the full
replacement value was last determined.
4.6 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section , Tenant may carry the insurance
required by this
Article under a blanket policy of insurance, provided that the
coverage afforded
Tenant will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be
different from that
which would exist under a separate policy meeting all of the
requirements of
this Lease.
4.7 No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out
separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of
loss with that
required in this Article, or increase the amounts of any then
existing
insurance, by securing an additional policy or additional
policies, unless all
parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of
the insurance,
including Landlord and any mortgagees, are included therein as
additional
insureds or loss payees, the loss is payable under said
insurance in the same
manner as losses are payable under this Lease, and such
additional insurance is
not prohibited by the existing policies of insurance. Tenant
shall immediately
notify Landlord of the taking out of such separate insurance or
the increasing
of any of the amounts of the existing insurance by securing an
additional policy
or additional policies.
4.8 Waiver of Subrogation. Each party hereto hereby waives any
and
every claim which arises or may arise in its favor and against
the other party
hereto during the Term for any and all loss of, or damage to,
any of its
property located within or upon, or constituting a part of, the
Leased Property,
which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible
insurance policies, to
the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such
policies. Said
mutual waiver shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or
derogation of,
any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect
to any loss or
damage to property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as the said
waivers will
preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of
subrogation (or
otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each
party hereto
agrees immediately to give each insurance company which has
issued to it
policies of insurance, written notice of the terms of said
mutual waivers, and
to have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary,
to prevent the
invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said
waivers, so long as
such endorsement is available at a reasonable cost.
4.9 Mortgages. The following provisions shall apply if Landlord
now
or hereafter places a mortgage on the Leased Property or any

clause insuring the
interest of the mortgagee; [ii] Tenant shall deliver evidence of
insurance to
such mortgagee; [iii] loss adjustment of claims in excess of
$50,000.00 shall
require the consent of the mortgagee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably
withheld; and [iv] Tenant shall provide such other information
and documents as
may be reasonably required by the mortgagee.

attorneys' fees, court costs, and the costs set forth in Section
8.7) incurred
in connection with or arising from: [i] the use or occupancy of
the Leased
Property by Tenant or any persons claiming under Tenant; [ii]
any activity,
work, or thing done, or permitted or suffered by Tenant in or
about the Leased
Property; [iii] any acts, omissions, or negligence of Tenant or
any person
claiming under Tenant, or the contractors, agents, employees,

visitors of Tenant or any such person; [iv] any breach,
violation, or
nonperformance by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant or
the employees,
agents, contractors, invitees, or visitors of Tenant or of any
such person, of
any term, covenant, or provision of this Lease or any law,
ordinance, or
governmental requirement of any kind, including, without
limitation, any failure
to comply with any applicable requirements under the ADA; [v]
any injury or
damage to the person, property or business of Tenant, its
employees, agents,
contractors, invitees, visitors, or any other person entering
upon the Leased
Property; and [vi] any construction, alterations, changes or
demolition of the
Facility performed by or contracted for by Tenant or its
employees, agents or
contractors. Provided, however, that Tenant shall have no
indemnity obligation
with respect to matters, liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties,
causes of actions, costs and expenses caused by Landlord's gross
negligence or
willful misconduct. If any action or proceeding is brought
against Landlord, its
employees, or agents by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon
notice from
Landlord, will defend the claim at Tenant's expense with counsel
reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. All amounts payable to Landlord under
this Section
shall be payable on written demand and any such amounts which
are not paid
within 10 days after demand therefor by Landlord shall bear
interest at the

against Tenant
by reason of any such occurrence, Tenant shall use its best
efforts to defend
such action, suit or proceeding.
5.1.1 Notice of Claim. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing
of
any claim or action brought against Landlord in which indemnity
may be sought
against Tenant pursuant to this Section . Such notice shall be
given in
sufficient time to allow Tenant to defend or participate in such
claim or
action, but the failure to give such notice in sufficient time
shall not
constitute a defense hereunder nor in any way impair the
obligations of Tenant
under this Section unless the failure to give such notice
precludes or
materially prejudices Tenant's defense of any such action.
5.1.2 Survival of Covenants. The covenants of Tenant contained
in
this Section shall remain in full force and effect after the
termination of this
Lease until the expiration of the period stated in the
applicable statute of

or incurred by Landlord in enforcing the provisions of this
Lease.
5.2 Environmental Indemnity; Audits. Tenant hereby indemnifies
and
agrees to hold harmless Landlord, any successors to Landlord's

consequential
damages), penalties, fines, liabilities (including strict
liability), costs
(including cleanup and recovery costs), and expenses (including
expenses of
litigation and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord
or any other
indemnitee or assessed against any portion of the Leased
Property by virtue of
any claim or lien by any governmental or quasi-governmental
unit, body, or
agency, or any third party, for cleanup costs or other costs
pursuant to any
Environmental Law. Tenant's indemnity shall survive the
termination of this
Lease. Provided, however, Tenant shall have no indemnity
obligation with respect
to [i] Hazardous Materials first introduced to the Leased
Property subsequent to
the date that Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Property shall
have fully
terminated; or [ii] Hazardous Materials introduced to the Leased
Property by
Landlord, its agent, employees, successors or assigns. If at any
time during the
Term of this Lease any governmental authority notifies Landlord
or Tenant of a
violation of any Environmental Law or Landlord reasonably
believes that a
Facility may violate any Environmental Law, Landlord may require
one or more
environmental audits of such portion of the Leased Property, in
such form, scope
and substance as specified by Landlord, at Tenant's expense.
Tenant shall,
within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord,
reimburse Landlord for
all costs and expenses incurred in reviewing any environmental
audit, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

(j) The license to operate any Facility for the applicable
Facility Use, for the Facility or any other Government
Authorization which is
material to the operation of such Facility, is canceled,
suspended or otherwise
invalidated after expiration of any cure or appeal period,
notice of impending
revocation proceedings is received and Tenant fails to
diligently contest such
proceeding, or any reduction occurs in the number of licensed
beds or units at
any Facility in excess of 3%.
- 23 -
<PAGE>
(k) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1 to the
contrary,
an Event of Default under [i] Section 8.1(b) (but only with
respect to Section
15.7); [ii] Section 8.1(c); [iii] Section 8.1(d); [iv] Section
8.1(f) (but only
with respect to [v] thereof); or [v] Section 8.1(j) (each a
"Potential Event of
Default") shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder
unless such
Potential Event of Default negatively effects 5% or more of the
total beds at
the Leased Property. If the Potential Event of Default
negatively effects less
than 5% of the total beds at the Leased Property, then Tenant
shall have 90 days
(in addition to any cure period set forth above) after the
occurrence of the
Potential Event of Default to cure such Potential Event of
Default. If such
Potential Event of Default is not cured within said 90-day
period, then Tenant
shall be obligated within 12 months thereafter to either [i]
provide a
substitute property for that portion of the Leased Property that
caused the
Potential Event of Default, which substitute property shall
satisfy all of the
Landlord's underwriting requirements, in Landlord's sole
discretion, or [ii]
acquire that portion of the Leased Property which caused the
Potential Event of
Default at a price equal to the greater of Fair Market Value, as
determined
pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof or the Allocated Lease Amount
for the Facility
plus 10% of the Allocated Lease Amount. The terms and conditions
set forth in
Section 13.4 hereof shall apply to any closing.
8.2 Remedies. Landlord may exercise any one or more of the
following
remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default:
(a) Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased
Property or any portion thereof without terminating this Lease,
and lease such
Leased Property for the account of Tenant at a commercially
reasonable rate,
holding Tenant liable for all costs of Landlord in reletting
such Leased
Property and for the difference in the amount received by such
reletting and the
amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease.
(b) Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to
Tenant, exclude Tenant from possession of the Leased Property
and use efforts to
lease the Leased Property to others at a commercially reasonable
rate, holding
Tenant liable for the difference in the amounts received from
such reletting and
the amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease.
(c) Landlord may re-enter the Leased Property and have,
repossess
and enjoy the Leased Property as if this Lease had not been
made, and in such
event, Tenant and its successors and assigns shall remain liable
for any
contingent or unliquidated obligations or sums owing at the time
of such
repossession.
(d) Landlord may have access to and inspect, examine and
make
copies of the books and records and any and all accounts, data
and income tax
and other returns of Tenant insofar as they pertain to the
Leased Property.
(e) Landlord may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent hereunder
so
that the aggregate Rent for the unexpired term of this Lease
becomes immediately
due and payable.
(f) Landlord may take whatever action at law or in equity as
may
appear necessary or desirable to collect the Rent and other
amounts payable
under this Lease then due and thereafter to become due, or to
enforce
performance and observance of any
- 24 -
<PAGE>
obligations, agreements or covenants of Tenant under the
Commitment and this
Lease, and may exercise all of Landlord's remedies set forth in
the Commitment
and this Lease.
(g) With respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof
and
Landlord's security interest therein, Landlord may exercise all
of its rights as
secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted in the
State. Landlord may sell the Collateral by public or private
sale upon 10 days
notice to Tenant. Tenant agrees that a commercially reasonable
manner of
disposition of the Collateral shall include, without limitation
and at the
option of Landlord, a sale of the Collateral, in whole or in
part, concurrently
with the sale of the Leased Property.
(h) Landlord may obtain control over and collect the
Receivables
and apply the proceeds of the collections to satisfaction of the
Secured
Obligations unless prohibited by law. Tenant appoints Landlord
or its designee
as attorney for Tenant with powers [i] to receive, to endorse,
to sign and/or to
deliver, in Tenant's name or Landlord's name, any and all
checks, drafts, and
other instruments for the payment of money relating to the
Receivables, and to
waive demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, and any
other notice
with respect to any such instrument; [ii] to sign Tenant's name
on any invoice
or bill of lading relating to any Receivable, drafts against
account debtors,
assignments and verifications of Receivables, and notices to
account debtors;
[iii] to send verifications of Receivables to any account
debtor; and [iv] to do
all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Lease.
Landlord shall not
be liable for any omissions, commissions, errors of judgment, or
mistakes in
fact or law made in the exercise of any such powers provided
Landlord's exercise
of such power is commercially reasonable. At Landlord's option,
Tenant shall [i]
provide Landlord a full accounting of all amounts received on
account of
Receivables with such frequency and in such form as Landlord may
require, either
with or without applying all collections on Receivables in
payment of the
Secured Obligations or [ii] deliver to Landlord on the day of
receipt all such
collections in the form received and duly endorsed by Tenant. At
Landlord's
request, Tenant shall institute any action or enter into any
settlement
determined by Landlord to be necessary to obtain recovery or
redress from any
account debtor in default of Receivables. Landlord may give
notice of its
security interest in the Receivables to any or all account
debtors with
instructions to make all payments on Receivables directly to
Landlord, thereby
terminating Tenant's authority to collect Receivables. After
terminating
Tenant's authority to enforce or collect Receivables, Landlord
shall have the
right to take possession of any or all Receivables and records
thereof and is
hereby authorized to do so, and only Landlord shall have the
right to collect
and enforce the Receivables. Prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default, at
Tenant's cost and expense, but on behalf of Landlord and for
Landlord's account,
Tenant shall collect or otherwise enforce all amounts unpaid on
Receivables and
hold all such collections in trust for Landlord, but Tenant may
commingle such
collections with Tenant's own funds, until Tenant's authority to
do so has been
terminated, which may be done only after an Event of Default.
Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, Landlord does not assume any of
Tenant's obligations
under any Receivable, and Landlord shall not be responsible in
any way for the
performance of any of the terms and conditions thereof by
Tenant.
(i) Without waiving any prior or subsequent Event of
Default,
Landlord may waive any Event of Default or, with or without
waiving any Event of
Default, remedy any default.
- 25 -
<PAGE>
(j) Landlord may terminate its obligation to disburse Lease
Advances.
(k) Landlord may enter and take possession of the Land or
any
portion thereof and one or more Facilities without terminating
the Lease and
complete renovation of the Improvements (or any part thereof)
and perform the
obligations of Tenant under the Lease Documents. Without
limiting the generality
of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant hereby
appoints Landlord
its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to do any of the
following: [i]
complete renovation and equipping of the Improvements in the
name of Tenant;
[ii] use unadvanced funds remaining under the Lease Amount, or
funds that may be
reserved, escrowed, or set aside for any purposes hereunder at
any time, or to
advance funds in excess of the Lease Amount, to complete the
Improvements; [iii]
make changes in the plans and specifications that shall be
necessary or
desirable to complete the Improvements in substantially the
manner contemplated
by the plans and specifications; [iv] retain or employ new
general contractors,
subcontractors, architects, engineers, and inspectors as shall
be required for
said purposes; [v] pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills
and claims,
which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills
and claims
becoming liens against the Facility or security interest against
fixtures or
equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the
completion of the
construction and equipping of the Improvements or for the
clearance of title;
[vi] do any and every act that Tenant might do in its own
behalf, to prosecute
and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the
Improvements; and
[vii] to execute, deliver and file all applications and other
documents and take
any and all actions necessary to transfer the operations of the
Facility to
Landlord or Landlord's designee. This power of attorney is a
power coupled with
an interest and cannot be revoked.
8.3 Right of Set-Off. After an Event of Default occurs hereunder
and
is continuing, Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant
to, at any time
and from time to time without advance notice to Tenant (any such
notice being
expressly waived by Tenant), set-off or recoup and apply any and
all sums held
by Landlord, any indebtedness of Landlord to Tenant, and any
claims by Tenant
against Landlord, against any obligations of Tenant hereunder
and against any
claims by Landlord against Tenant, whether or not such
obligations or claims of
Tenant are matured and whether or not Landlord has exercised any
other remedies
hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this Section are in
addition to any
other rights and remedies Landlord may have against Tenant.
8.4 Performance of Tenant's Covenants. Landlord may perform
any
obligation of Tenant which Tenant has failed to perform within
10 days after
Landlord has sent a written notice to Tenant informing it of its
specific
failure. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as
Additional Rent, for any
expenditures thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest
thereon at the
Overdue Rate (as defined in Section 8.6).
8.5 Late Payment Charge. Tenant acknowledges that any default in
the
payment of any installment of Rent payable hereunder will result
in loss and
additional expense to Landlord in servicing any indebtedness of
Landlord secured
by the Leased Property, handling such delinquent payments, and
meeting its other
financial obligations, and because such loss and additional
expense is extremely
difficult and impractical to ascertain, Tenant agrees that in
the event any Rent
payable to Landlord hereunder is not paid within 10 days after
the due date,
Tenant shall pay a late charge of 5% of the amount of the
overdue payment as a
reasonable
- 26 -
<PAGE>
estimate of such loss and expenses, unless applicable law
requires a lesser
charge, in which event the maximum rate permitted by such law
may be charged by
Landlord. The 10-day grace period set forth in this Section
shall not extend the
time for payment of Rent or the period for curing any default or
constitute a
waiver of such default.
8.6 Interest. In addition to the late payment charge, any
payment
not made by Tenant within 10 days after the due date shall
thereafter bear
interest at the rate (the "Overdue Rate") of the greater of [i]
18.5% per annum;
or [ii] 2.5% per annum above the Lease Rate then in effect
(except that, to the
extent this Lease is governed by Texas law, the Overdue Rate
shall be 18.0% per
annum); provided, however, that at no time will Tenant be
required to pay
interest at a rate higher than the maximum legal rate and,
provided further,
that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
other charges
payable under this Lease are deemed to be interest, the Overdue
Rate shall be
adjusted to ensure that the aggregate interest payable under
this Lease does not
accrue at a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate. Tenant
shall not be
required to pay interest upon any late payment fees assessed
pursuant to Section
8.5.
8.7 Litigation; Attorneys' Fees. Within five days after Tenant
has
knowledge of any litigation or other proceeding that may be
instituted against
Tenant that is material to the construction or operation of any
Facility or that
is material to Tenant's business or financial condition, against
all or any
portion of the Leased Property to secure or recover possession
thereof, or that
may affect the title to or the interest of Landlord in all or
any portion of the
Leased Property, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to
Landlord. Tenant
shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
in enforcing or
preserving Landlord's rights under this Lease, whether or not an
Event of
Default has actually occurred or has been declared and
thereafter cured,
including, without limitation, [i] the fees, expenses, and costs
of any
litigation, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency
or other
similar proceeding; [ii] reasonable attorney, paralegal,
consulting and witness
fees and disbursements, whether in-house counsel or outside
counsel; and [iii]
the expenses, including, without limitation, lodging, meals, and
transportation,
of Landlord and its employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses
in preparing for
litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar proceedings
and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in
connection therewith. All
such costs, charges and fees payable by Tenant shall be deemed
to be Additional
Rent under this Lease.
8.8 Escrows and Application of Payments. As security for the
performance of the Secured Obligations, Tenant hereby assigns to
Landlord all
its right, title, and interest in and to all monies escrowed
with Landlord under
this Lease and all deposits with utility companies, taxing
authorities and
insurance companies; provided, however, that Landlord shall not
exercise its
rights hereunder until an Event of Default has occurred. Any
payments received
by Landlord under any provisions of this Lease during the
existence or
continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied to the
Secured Obligations
in the order which Landlord may determine.
8.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Landlord herein are
cumulative to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to
Landlord at law
or in equity. The use of any one remedy shall not be taken to
exclude or waive
the right to use any other remedy.
- 27 -
<PAGE>
ARTICLE 9: DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
9.1 Notice of Casualty. If any Facility shall be destroyed, in
whole
or in part, or damaged by fire, flood, windstorm or other
casualty (a
"Casualty"), Tenant shall give written notice thereof to
Landlord within three
Business Days after the occurrence of the Casualty ("Casualty
Notice"). Within
15 days after the occurrence of the Casualty or as soon
thereafter as such
information is reasonably available to Tenant, Tenant shall
provide the
following information to Landlord: [i] the date of the Casualty;
[ii] the nature
of the Casualty; [iii] a description of the damage or
destruction caused by the
Casualty, including the type of Leased Property damaged and the
area of the
Improvements damaged; [iv] a preliminary estimate of the cost to
repair,
rebuild, restore or replace the Leased Property; [v] a
preliminary estimate of
the schedule to complete the repair, rebuilding, restoration or
replacement of
the Leased Property; [vi] a description of the anticipated
property insurance
claim, including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage
limits, the
deductible amount, the expected settlement amount, and the
expected settlement
date; and [vii] a description of the business interruption
claim, including the
name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the
deductible amount, the
expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date.
Within five days
after request from Landlord, Tenant will provide Landlord with
copies of all
correspondence to the insurer and any other information
reasonably requested by
Landlord.
9.2 Substantial Destruction.
9.2.1 If any Facility's Improvements are substantially destroyed
at
any time other than during the final 18 months of the Initial
Term or any
Renewal Term, Tenant shall promptly rebuild and restore such
Improvements in
accordance with Section 9.4 through Section 9.9 and Landlord
shall make the
insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such restoration. The
term
"substantially destroyed" means any casualty resulting in the
loss of use of 35%
or more of the licensed beds or units at any one Facility.
9.2.2 If any Facility's Improvements are substantially
destroyed
during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal
Term, Tenant shall
elect one of the following options: [i] to promptly rebuild in
accordance with
Section 9.4 through Section 9.9; [ii] to renew this Lease in
accordance with
Section 9.2.3 and promptly rebuild in accordance with Section
9.4 through
Section 9.9 (except that Tenant shall not have this option if
the Casualty
occurs during the final 18 months of the final Renewal Term); or
[iii] to
exercise its option to purchase the Leased Property in
accordance with Section
9.2.4. Tenant shall give notice ("Election Notice") of its
election of one of
the foregoing options within 30 days after the date of the
Casualty Notice. If
Tenant fails to give Landlord the Election Notice within such 30
day period,
Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to rebuild the damaged
Leased Property.
If Tenant elects to rebuild the damaged Leased Property but does
not elect to
renew this Lease for a Renewal Term in accordance with Section
9.2.3, Tenant
shall provide to Landlord with the Election Notice an estimate
of the schedule
to complete the restoration of the damaged Leased Property. If
the estimate of
time for completion of the restoration extends beyond the
expiration date of the
then current Term, Landlord and Tenant shall extend the current
Term by mutual
agreement in order to allow Tenant sufficient time to complete
the restoration
within the current Term. At the expiration of the extended
current Term, Tenant
may exercise its Renewal Option under Article 12 (unless the
extended current
Term was the final Renewal Term) or may exercise its Option to
Purchase under
Article 13.
- 28 -
<PAGE>
9.2.3 If any Facility's Improvements are substantially
destroyed
during the final 18 months of the Initial Term and Tenant elects
to renew this
Lease in its entirety by delivery of an Election Notice to such
effect, this
Section 9.2.3 shall apply. If Tenant so elects to renew, the
Renewal Term will
be in effect for the balance of the then current Term plus a
15-year period. The
Renewal Term will commence on the third day following Landlord's
receipt of
Tenant's Election Notice. All other terms of this Lease for the
Renewal Term
shall be in accordance with Article 12. The damaged Improvements
will be
restored by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 9 regarding
partial destruction.
9.2.4 If any Facility's Improvements are substantially
destroyed
during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or the Renewal
Term and Tenant
elects to purchase the Leased Property by delivery of any
Election Notice to
such effect, this Section 9.2.4 shall apply. The Option Price
will be determined
in accordance with Section 13.2 and the Fair Market Value will
be determined in
accordance with Section 13.3 except as otherwise provided in
this Section . For
purposes of determining the Fair Market Value, the Leased
Property will be
valued as if it had been restored to be equal in value to the
Leased Property
existing immediately prior to the occurrence of the damage. All
other terms of
the option to purchase shall be in accordance with Article 13.
Landlord shall
hold the insurance proceeds until the closing of the purchase of
the Leased
Property and at closing shall deliver the proceeds to
Tenant.
9.3 Partial Destruction. If any Facility's Improvements are
not
substantially destroyed, then Tenant shall comply with the
provisions of Section
9.4 and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to
Tenant for such
restoration.
9.4 Restoration. Tenant shall promptly repair, rebuild, or
restore
the damaged Leased Property, at Tenant's expense, so as to make
the Leased
Property at least equal in value to the Leased Property existing
immediately
prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar to it in
character as is
practicable and reasonable. Before beginning such repairs or
rebuilding, or
letting any contracts in connection with such repairs or
rebuilding, Tenant will
submit for Landlord's approval, which approval Landlord will not
unreasonably
withhold or delay, plans and specifications meeting the
requirements of Section
16.2 for such repairs or rebuilding. Promptly after receiving
Landlord's
approval of the plans and specifications and receiving the
proceeds of
insurance, Tenant will begin such repairs or rebuilding and will
prosecute the
repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject,
however, to
strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental
restrictions, and other
causes beyond Tenant's reasonable control. Landlord will make
available to
Tenant the net proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance
paid to Landlord
for such repair or rebuilding as the same progresses, after
deduction of any
costs of collection, including attorneys' fees. Payments will be
made against
properly certified vouchers of a competent architect in charge
of the work and
approved by Landlord. Payments for deposits for the repairing or
rebuilding or
delivery of materials to the Facility will be made upon
Landlord's receipt of
evidence satisfactory to Landlord that such payments are
required in advance.
Prior to commencing the repairing or rebuilding, Tenant shall
deliver to
Landlord for Landlord's approval a schedule setting forth the
estimated monthly
draws for such work. Landlord will contribute to such payments
out of the
insurance proceeds an amount equal to the proportion that the
total net amount
received by Landlord from insurers bears to the total estimated
cost of the
rebuilding or repairing, multiplied by the payment by Tenant on
account of such
work. Landlord may, however, withhold 10% from each payment due
subcontractors
until
- 29 -
<PAGE>
the work is completed and proof has been furnished to Landlord
that no lien or
liability has attached or will attach to the Leased Property or
to Landlord in
connection with such repairing or rebuilding. Upon the
completion of rebuilding
and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of the net
proceeds of such
insurance payable to Tenant on account of such repairing or
rebuilding will be
paid to Tenant. Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord a
temporary or final
certificate of occupancy before the damaged Leased Property is
reoccupied for
any purpose. Tenant shall complete such repairs or rebuilding in
accordance with
the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances,
regulations, or orders
of any state, municipal, or other public authority affecting the
repairs or
rebuilding, and also in accordance with all requirements of the
insurance rating
organization, or similar body. Any remaining proceeds of
insurance after such
restoration will be Tenant's property.
9.5 Insufficient Proceeds. If the proceeds of any insurance
settlement are not sufficient to pay the costs of Tenant's
repair, rebuilding or
restoration under Section 9.4 in full, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord at
Landlord's option, and within 20 days of Landlord's request, an
amount
sufficient in Landlord's reasonable judgment to complete such
repair, rebuilding
or restoration. Tenant shall not, by reason of the deposit or
payment, be
entitled to any reimbursement from Landlord or diminution in or
postponement of
the payment of the Rent.
9.6 Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law
or
equity to the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds paid to
Landlord as
herein provided shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall
be entitled to
dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 9. Tenant
expressly assumes
all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment or
value, of the
Leased Property from any casualty whatsoever, whether or not
insurable or
insured against.
9.7 Landlord's Inspection. During the progress of such repairs
or
rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers may, from
time to time,
inspect the Leased Property and will be furnished, if required
by them, with
copies of all plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating
to such repairs
or rebuilding. Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and
specifications at
the building, and Landlord and its architects and engineers may
examine them at
all reasonable times. If, during such repairs or rebuilding,
Landlord and its
architects and engineers determine that the repairs or
rebuilding are not being
done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications,
Landlord will
give prompt notice in writing to Tenant, specifying in detail
the particular
deficiency, omission, or other respect in which Landlord claims
such repairs or
rebuilding do not accord with the approved plans and
specifications. Upon the
receipt of any such notice, Tenant will cause corrections to be
made to any
deficiencies, omissions, or such other respect. Tenant's
obligations to supply
insurance, according to Article 4, will be applicable to any
repairs or
rebuilding under this Section .
9.8 Landlord's Costs. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt
of
an invoice from Landlord, pay the reasonable costs, expenses,
and fees of any
architect or engineer employed by Landlord to review any plans
and
specifications and to supervise and approve any construction, or
for any
services rendered by such architect or engineer to Landlord as
contemplated by
any of the provisions of this Lease, or for any services
performed by Landlord's
attorneys in connection therewith. With respect to any
inspections by the
architect or engineer
- 30 -
<PAGE>
employed by Landlord, Tenant shall pay no more than $500.00 per
day plus out of
pocket expenses for travel, lodging, food and
transportation.
9.9 No Rent Abatement. Except to the extent that business
interruption insurance proceeds are received by Landlord, Rent
will not abate
pending the repairs or rebuilding of the Leased Property.
ARTICLE 10: CONDEMNATION
10.1 Total Taking. If, by exercise of the right of eminent
domain or
by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of
such right
("Taking"), any entire Facility Property is taken, or so much of
any Facility
Property is taken that the Facility Property cannot be used by
Tenant for the
purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking,
then this Lease
will terminate with respect to such Facility Property only on
the earlier of the
vesting of title to the Facility Property in the condemning
authority or the
taking of possession of the Facility Property by the condemning
authority. Upon
such termination, the Lease Amount shall be reduced by the
Allocated Lease
Amount for such Facility Property and Rent hereunder shall be
reduced
accordingly unless there is only one Facility Property subject
to this Lease in
which case the Lease will terminate. All damages awarded for
such Taking under
the power of eminent domain shall be the property of Landlord,
except for
damages awarded to Tenant as compensation for diminution in
value of the
leasehold of the Leased Property provided the award to Landlord
is not less than
the Allocated Lease Amount for the applicable Facility.
10.2 Partial Taking. If, after a Taking, so much of the
Facility
Property remains that the Facility Property can be used for
substantially the
same purposes for which it was used immediately before the
Taking, then [i] this
Lease will terminate as to the part taken on the earlier of the
vesting of title
to such Leased Property in the condemning authority or the
taking of possession
of such Leased Property by the condemning authority and the Rent
will be
adjusted accordingly; [ii] at its cost, Tenant shall restore so
much of the
Facility Property as remains to a sound architectural unit
substantially
suitable for the purposes for which it was used immediately
before the Taking,
using good workmanship and new, first-class materials; [iii]
upon completion of
the restoration, Landlord will pay Tenant the lesser of the net
award made to
Landlord on the account of the Taking (after deducting from the
total award,
attorneys', appraisers', and other reasonable fees and costs
incurred in
connection with the obtaining of the award and amounts paid to
the holders of
mortgages granted by Tenant, and consented to by Landlord,
secured by the
Facility Property), or Tenant's actual out-of-pocket costs of
restoring the
Facility Property; and [iv] Landlord shall be entitled to the
balance of the net
award. The restoration shall be completed in accordance with
Sections 9.4, 9.5,
9.7, 9.8 and 9.9 with such provisions deemed to apply to
condemnation instead of
casualty.
10.3 Condemnation Proceeds Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding
anything
in this Lease or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the
condemnation
award paid to Landlord shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord
shall be
entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article
10. Tenant
expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the
use, enjoyment,
or value, of the Leased Property from any Condemnation.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 11: TENANT'S PROPERTY
11.1 Tenant's Property. Tenant shall install, place, and use on
the
Leased Property such fixtures, furniture, equipment, inventory
and other
personal property in addition to Landlord's Personal Property as
may be required
or as Tenant may, from time to time, deem necessary or useful to
operate the
Leased Property for its permitted purposes. All fixtures,
furniture, equipment,
inventory, and other personal property installed, placed, or
used on the Leased
Property which is owned by Tenant or leased by Tenant from third
parties is
hereinafter referred to as "Tenant's Property".
11.2 Requirements for Tenant's Property. Tenant shall comply
with
all of the following requirements in connection with Tenant's
Property:
(a) Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
maintain,
repair, and replace Tenant's Property.
(b) Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep
Tenant's Property insured against loss or damage by fire,
vandalism and
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, earthquake, and other
physical loss
perils commonly covered by fire and extended coverage, boiler
and machinery, and
difference in conditions insurance in an amount not less than
90% of the then
full replacement cost thereof. Tenant shall use the proceeds
from any such
policy for the repair and replacement of Tenant's Property.
(c) Tenant shall pay all taxes applicable to Tenant's
Property.
(d) If Tenant's Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or
any
other cause, Tenant shall promptly repair or replace Tenant's
Property unless
Tenant elects to purchase Leased Property pursuant to Section
9.2.2.
(e) Unless an Event of Default or any event which, with the
giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an
Event of Default
has occurred, Tenant may remove Tenant's Property from the
Leased Property from
