State of Delaware ("HCRI-NC" and a "Landlord"), HCRI TENNESSEE PROPERTIES, INC.,

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,

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

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.

terms defined in this Section have the meanings assigned to them in this Section

and include the plural as well as the singular; [ii] all accounting terms not

otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with

anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each anniversary thereafter during

- 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

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

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.

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.

other amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions which Tenant assumes or

(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

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 similar or dissimilar

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,

or any part thereof. Tenant, at its expense, shall prepare and file all tax

returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by

governmental authorities. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund due from any

taxing authority if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be

continuing. Landlord shall be entitled to any refund from any taxing authority

if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any refunds retained by

Landlord due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided in Section 8.8.

Landlord and Tenant 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 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.

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

failure in payment by Tenant), which at any time prior to, during or in respect

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

all, only as a conduit for delivery purposes.

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 on the Leased

Requirement or insurance requirement or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,

charge or claim provided that [i] in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien,

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

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

"additional insured" on each liability policy. On all property and casualty

policies, Landlord and Tenant shall be joint loss payees.

(d) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates or policies

showing the required coverages and endorsements. The policies of insurance shall

provide that the policy may not be canceled or not renewed, and no material

change or reduction in coverage may be made, without at least 30 days' prior

written notice to Landlord.

(e) The policies shall contain a severability of interest and/or

cross-liability endorsement, provide that the acts or omissions of Tenant or

Landlord will not invalidate the coverage of the other party, and provide that

Landlord shall not be responsible for payment of premiums.

(f) All casualty loss adjustment shall require the written

consent of Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear.

(g) At least 30 days prior to the expiration of each insurance

policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate showing renewal of such

Compliance (in the form delivered at the time of Closing) completed and signed

by Tenant's insurance agent.

4.5 Replacement Value. The term "full replacement value" means 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 an endorsement

indicating that the Leased Property is insured for its full replacement value.

If Tenant makes any Permitted Alterations (as hereinafter defined) to the Leased

Property, Landlord may have such full replacement value redetermined at any time

after such Permitted Alterations are made, regardless of when the full

replacement value was last determined.

4.6 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

contained in this 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 part thereof: [i]

Tenant shall obtain a standard form of lender's loss payable 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.

- 17 -

<PAGE>

4.10 Escrows. After an Event of Default occurs hereunder and until

such Event of Default is cured, Tenant shall make such periodic payments of

insurance premiums in accordance with Landlord's requirements after receipt of

notice thereof from Landlord.

ARTICLE 5: INDEMNITY

5.1 Tenant's Indemnification. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees

to hold harmless Landlord, any successors or assigns of Landlord, and Landlord's

and such successor's and assign's directors, officers, employees and agents from

and against any and all demands, claims, causes of action, fines, penalties,

damages (including consequential damages), losses, liabilities (including strict

liability), judgments, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable

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, invitees, or

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

Overdue Rate. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought 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

limitations during which a claim or cause of action may be brought and payment

in full or the satisfaction of such claim or cause of action and of all

- 18 -

<PAGE>

expenses and charges incurred by Landlord relating to the enforcement of the

provisions herein specified.

5.1.3 Reimbursement of Expenses. Unless prohibited by law, Tenant

hereby agrees to pay to Landlord all of the reasonable fees, charges and

reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to the Facility and required hereby,

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 interest in this

Lease, and Landlord's and such successors' directors, officers, employees and

agents from and against any losses, claims, damages (including 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.

5.3 Limitation of Landlord's Liability. Landlord, its agents, and

employees, will not be liable for any loss, injury, death, or damage (including

consequential damages) to persons, property, or Tenant's business occasioned by

theft, act of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war,

court order, requisition, order of governmental body or authority, fire,

explosion, falling objects, steam, water, rain or snow, leak or flow of water

(including water from the elevator system), rain or snow from the Leased

Property or into the Leased Property or from the roof, street, subsurface or

from any other place, or by dampness or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction,

or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air

conditioning, or lighting fixtures of the Leased Property, or from construction,

repair, or alteration of the Leased Property or from any acts or omissions of

any other occupant or visitor of the Leased Property, or from any other cause

beyond Landlord's control. The foregoing limitation does not apply to loss,

injury, death or damage caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful

misconduct.

time after the expiration of 10 days from the date such payment is due;

provided, however, that, if Tenant receives two notices of default during any

one year period, regardless of any subsequent cure of such default, thereafter

- 22 -

<PAGE>

if (a) with respect to clauses [i] and [ii], such event occurs on or prior to

December 31, 2002 or (b) with respect to clauses [iii], [iv], [v], [vi] or [vii]

this Lease or any other document executed in connection with this Lease, any

application, financial statement or other material instrument furnished by

Tenant pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to be false, misleading or

incorrect in any material respect as of the date made.

(h) Tenant or any Affiliate defaults on any indebtedness or

obligation to Landlord or any Landlord Affiliate, including, without limitation,

any lease with Landlord or any Landlord Affiliate, or Tenant or any Affiliate

receives notice of acceleration of payment in connection with a default under

any Material Obligation unless Tenant can demonstrate to Landlord that such

acceleration will not cause Tenant to be in violation of Section 15.7, and any

applicable grace or cure period with respect to default under such indebtedness

- 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.

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.

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

time to time provided that [i] the items removed are not required to operate the

Leased Property for the Facility Uses (unless such items are being replaced by

Tenant); and [ii] Tenant repairs any damage to the Leased Property resulting

from the removal of Tenant's Property.

(f) Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of

Landlord or as otherwise provided in this Lease, remove any Tenant's Property or

Leased Property. Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, remove Tenant's Property

upon the termination or expiration of this Lease and shall repair any damage to

the Leased Property resulting from the removal of Tenant's Property. If Tenant

fails to remove Tenant's Property within 30 days after request by Landlord, then

Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned Tenant's Property, Tenant's Property

shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may remove, store and

dispose of Tenant's Property. In such event, Tenant shall have no claim or right

against Landlord for such property or the value thereof regardless of the

disposition thereof by Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, all

expenses incurred by Landlord in removing, storing, and disposing of Tenant's

Property and repairing any damage caused by such removal. Tenant's obligations

hereunder shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

- 32 -

<PAGE>

(g) Tenant shall perform its obligations under any equipment

lease or security agreement for Tenant's Property. For equipment loans or leases

for equipment having an original cost in excess of $50,000.00, Tenant shall

cause such equipment lessor or lender to enter into a nondisturbance agreement

with Landlord upon terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord, including,

without limitation, the following: [i] Landlord shall have the right (but not

the obligation) to assume such equipment lease or security agreement upon the

occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder; [ii] such equipment

lessor or lender shall notify Landlord of any default by Tenant under the

equipment lease or security agreement and give Landlord a reasonable opportunity

to cure such default; and [iii] Landlord shall have the right to assign its

interest in the equipment lease or security agreement and nondisturbance

agreement. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from

Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in reviewing

and approving the equipment lease, security agreement and nondisturbance

agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

ARTICLE 12: RENEWAL OPTIONS

12.1 Renewal Options. Tenant has the option to renew ("Renewal

Option") this Lease for one 15-year renewal term (each a "Renewal Term"). Tenant

can exercise each Renewal Option only upon satisfaction of the following
