LEASE
THIS LEASE
(“Lease”) is dated as of the
day of December, 2007, and is among NNN EASTERN WISCONSIN
MEDICAL PORTFOLIO, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company,
(“Lessor”) and AURORA MEDICAL GROUP, INC ., a
Wisconsin non-stock corporation (“Lessee”).
ARTICLE I.
1.1.
Leased Property . Lessor leases to Lessee and Lessee leases
from Lessor all of Lessor’s rights and interests in and to
the following (to the extent purchased from Lessee as Seller and as
may be added to thereafter) (collectively the “Leased
Property”):
(a) the real property described
in Exhibit A attached hereto (the
“Land”);
(b) all buildings, structures,
Fixtures and other improvements of every kind now or hereafter
located on the Land, including alleyways and connecting tunnels,
sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines (on-site and off-site
to the extent Lessor has obtained any interest in the same),
parking areas and roadways appurtenant to such buildings and
structures and any additions funded by Lessor (collectively, the
“Leased Improvements”);
(c) all easements, rights and
appurtenances relating to the Land and the Leased Improvements
(collectively, the “Related Rights”); and
(d) all equipment, machinery,
fixtures, and other items of real and/or personal property,
including all components thereof, now and hereafter located in, on
or used in connection with and permanently affixed to or
incorporated into the Leased Improvements, including, as present on
the Commencement Date, all furnaces, boilers, heaters, electrical
equipment, heating, plumbing, lighting, ventilating, refrigerating,
incineration, air and water pollution control, waste disposal,
air-cooling and air-conditioning systems, apparatus, sprinkler
systems, fire and theft protection equipment, and built-in oxygen
and vacuum systems, all of which, to the greatest extent permitted
by law, are hereby deemed to constitute real estate, together with
all replacements, modifications, alterations and additions thereto
(collectively, the “Fixtures”). The Leased Property is
subject to the title exceptions set forth on Exhibit B
(“Existing Title Exceptions”).
1.2.
Term . The Lease shall be for an initial term commencing
upon the acquisition of Leased Property by Lessor (the
“Commencement Date”) and terminating on the last day of
the calendar month 15 years thereafter (December 31,
2022) unless terminated in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
Lessee shall have the right to extend the term of the Lease for
three periods of five (5) years each as described in
Article XIV. The word “Term” refers to the initial
and any Extended Term.
1.3.
Operating Lease . It is the intent of the parties that this
Lease be treated for accounting and other purposes as an operating
lease. If it should be treated as a capital lease by Lessee’s
accountants, the parties will act in good faith to make the Lease
an operating lease.
ARTICLE II.
2.1.
Rent . Lessee will pay to Lessor in lawful money of the
United States of America which shall be legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts, without offset or deduction,
Base Rent as described in this Section 2.1. Payments of Base
Rent shall be made to Lessor as follows:
, or at such
other place or to such other person as Lessor from time to time may
designate to Lessee in writing.
2.2.
Base Rent . For the period from the Commencement Date
through the expiration of the third Lease Year, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor “Base Rent” monthly, in advance on or before the
first day of each calendar month, the sum of $
. The Base Rent per square foot is set forth on the schedule
attached as Exhibit C . No Base Rent shall be charged
on any alteration paid for by Lessee that expands the floor space.
The Base Rent otherwise payable hereunder shall increase by six
percent (6%) on the start of the fourth Lease Year and every third
annual anniversary thereafter.
In the
event that the Commencement Date shall occur other than on the
first day of a month, then the first payment of Base Rent shall be
prorated based on the number of days in such month. The first Lease
Year shall run from the Commencement Date until the last day of the
calendar month one year thereafter in which the Commencement Date
occurs.
2.3.
Additional Charges . In addition to the Base Rent, Lessee
shall also pay and discharge as and when due and payable all other
amounts, liabilities, obligations and “Impositions,”
all as defined in Section 3.1 which Lessee is required to pay
under this Lease relating to periods during the Term or any
Extended Term after the Commencement Date (the “Additional
Charges”). If the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term is a day other than the last day of a Lease Year, then the
amount of the last quarterly installment of Additional Rent shall
be paid pro rata on the basis of the actual number of days in such
Lease Year. A “Lease Year” shall mean a period of
twelve (12) consecutive months commencing on the first day of
the first calendar month after the commencement Date (unless the
commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month in which
event the Lease Year commences on such date). The first Lease Year
shall include as well any days between the Commencement Date and
the first day of the first calendar month thereafter. The term
“Rent” shall include Base Rent and any Additional
Charges.
2.4.
Net Lease . This Lease is and is intended to be what is
commonly referred to as a net lease. The Base Rent and Additional
Charges shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor. So that this Lease
shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Base
Rent and Additional Charges throughout the Term. Any existing
leases and contracts affecting the Property are subleases and/or
subcontracts and are obligations and rights of Lessee (not Lessor).
No such documents affect Lessee’s rights or obligations
hereunder.
2.5.
Reporting Requirements . In the event that, at any time
during the Term, Guarantor ceases to report its financial
statements publicly, Lessee shall, no later than five
(5) months after the end of each calendar year, provide to
Lessor a certified annual balance sheet and profit end loss
statement for Guarantor (which may be consolidated with its
affiliates, including Lessee).
2
ARTICLE III.
3.1.
Impositions . Subject to Section 9.1 relating to
permitted contests, Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, all ad
valorem real and personal property taxes or assessments and any
payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT) or such other taxes or
assessments imposed by governmental authorities or required
pursuant to any recorded or unrecorded agreements (which agreements
are in effect at the commencement of the Lease or are subsequently
entered into by Tenant) affecting the Lease Improvements levied
against the Leased Property during the term of the Lease on or
after the Commencement Date (“Impositions”) before any
fine, penalty or cost may be added for nonpayment. Lessee shall
make such payments directly to the taxing authorities where
feasible, and promptly furnish to Lessor copies of official
receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. For
assessments only the current installment of an assessment with
installments over the longest period of time per month is included
as an Imposition.
Any
refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition
paid by Lessee shall be paid over to or retained by Lessee if no
Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing.
Any other refund shall be paid over to or retained by Lessor.
3.1.1.
Lessee may, upon notice to Lessor, at Lessee’s option and at
Lessee’s sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute
such other proceedings as Lessee may deem appropriate to effect a
reduction of real estate or personal property assessments and
Lessor, at Lessee’s expense as aforesaid, shall reasonably
cooperate with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action but
at no cost or expense to Lessor. Billings for reimbursement by
Lessee to Lessor of personal property or real property taxes shall
be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof
which identify the personal property or real property with respect
to which such payments are made. Any written agreement with the
assessor concerning property taxes will be subject to the approval
of Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
3.1.2.
Lessor shall give prompt notice to Lessee of all Impositions
payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor has knowledge.
3.1.3.
Impositions imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during
which the Term commences and terminates shall be adjusted and
prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition
is imposed before or after such termination or commencement.
3.2.
Utilities . Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all charges
for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in
the Leased Property and incurred during the Term and on or after
the Commencement Date.

premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained by
Lessee hereunder.
3
ARTICLE IV.
4.1.
Condition of the Leased Property . Lessee acknowledges
receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and that
Lessee has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of
the Leased Property prior to the execution and delivery of this
Lease and has found the same to be in good order and repair, to
Lessee’s knowledge free from Hazardous Substances not in
compliance with any laws or regulations, and satisfactory for its
purposes hereunder. Regardless, however, of any examination or
inspection made by Lessee and whether or not any patent or latent
defect or condition was revealed or discovered thereby, Lessee is
leasing the Leased Property “AS IS” in its present
condition. Lessee waives any claim or action against Lessor in
respect of the condition of the Leased Property including any
defects or adverse conditions not discovered or otherwise known by
Lessee as of the date hereof.
4.2.
Use of the Leased Property . Lessee may use the Leased
Property in connection with any health care use or other use that
is permitted by law. Lessee is responsible to obtain any approval
or license for its use of the Leased Property.
Lessee
shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the Leased
Property or cause or permit any nuisance to exist thereon or with
respect thereto. Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased
Property to be used in such a manner as to make possible a claim of
adverse use or possession, or an implied dedication of the Leased
Property.
ARTICLE V.
5.1.
Compliance with Laws . Subject to Section 9.1 regarding
permitted contests, Lessee, at its expense, shall promptly comply
with all laws and recorded and unrecorded agreements (which are
effective at the commencement of the Lease or are subsequently
entered into by Tenant), including without limitation, any
recordkeeping and reporting requirements imposed on the owner of
the Leased Improvements set forth in such agreements applicable to
the Leased Property and regarding the use and operation of the
Leased Property. Lessee shall procure, maintain and comply with all
licenses of need and other governmental authorizations required for
the use of the Leased Property.
ARTICLE VI.
6.1.
Maintenance and Repair . Lessee, at its expense, shall
repair and maintain the Leased Improvements in good condition and
repair, and, with reasonable promptness, make all necessary and
appropriate repairs and replacements thereto of every kind and
nature, including those necessary to comply with changes in any
laws, whether interior or exterior, structural or nonstructural,
ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by
reason of a condition existing prior to or after the Commencement
Date. Lessee agrees that it is managing all aspects of the
operation and the Leased Improvements, at no cost to Lessor. In the
event Lessee ceases to provide such management for the Leased
Improvements, then Lessee shall either (i) engage professional
third party management for the Leased Improvements, at
Lessee’s sole cost, or (ii) elect to have Lessor provide
such management services and reimburse Lessor’s reasonable
costs for providing such services. Lessee shall maintain the Leased
Improvements in a manner consistent with that maintained by
comparable first class medical facilities in comparable medical
markets in the State of Wisconsin.
4
Lessee
shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term,
vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in the condition
in which the Leased Property was originally received from Lessor
and, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as
permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease and except
for ordinary wear and tear and except for damage by casualty.
Lessee shall permit Lessor to inspect the Leased Property on
reasonable advance notice to Lessee.
ARTICLE VII.
7.1.
Construction of Improvements to the Leased Property . Lessee
may make any improvement or addition to the Leased Property
(“Improvement”) which will not materially reduce the
value of the Leased Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
without Lessor’s prior written approval (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld), Lessee shall not make any Improvement
costing in excess of the greater of (i) $250,000 or (ii) 15%
of the value of the Leased Property, unless Guarantor maintains a
senior unsecured corporate credit rating of not less than BBB- by
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or a similar rating by any other
nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and each of
the following is satisfied (collectively, the “Construction
Requirements”): (A) the construction of the Improvement
is in accordance with sound construction practices and in
compliance with all applicable laws (including without limitation
zoning), and upon completion of the Improvement, the Leased
Property continues to satisfy all applicable laws (including
without limitation zoning); (B) all required permits and
governmental required consents are obtained; (C) construction
is completed in a lien-free workmanlike manner; (D) the
Improvement is architecturally consistent with the rest of the
other Leased Improvements; and (E) during the performance of
construction, the insurance coverages required hereunder are
procured with respect to the Improvement. Furthermore, Lessee shall
not demolish a portion of the Leased Property that exceeds 10% of
the value of the Leased Property, without Lessor’s prior
written approval.
ARTICLE VIII.
8.1.
Liens . Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1
relating to permitted contests, Lessee will not directly or
indirectly create or allow to remain and will promptly discharge at
its expense any lien from any work performed by Lessee on the
Leased Property.
ARTICLE IX.
9.1.
Permitted Contests . Lessee, upon prior written notice to
Lessor, on its own or in Lessor’s name, at Lessee’s
expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in
good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or
application, in whole or in part, of any licensure or certification
decision, Imposition, legal requirement or lien; subject, however,
to the further requirement that Lessee shall still be obligated to
make payments of Base Rent hereunder. If any such contest is
finally resolved against Lessor or Lessee, Lessee shall promptly
pay the amount required to be paid, together with all interest and
penalties accrued
5
thereon.
Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, shall execute and deliver to
Lessee such authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be
required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by
Lessee or if Lessor so desires, Lessor shall join as a party
therein. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall not be
construed to permit Lessee to contest the payment of Rent or any
other amount payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder.
ARTICLE X.
10.1.
General Insurance Requirements . During the Term, Lessee
shall at all times keep the Leased Property, and all property
located in or on the Leased Property insured with the kinds and
amounts of insurance described below. This insurance shall be
written by companies authorized to do insurance business in the
State in which the Leased Property is located. All liability type
policies must name Lessor as an “additional insured.”
All property, loss of rental and business interruption type
policies (other than policies relating to Lessee’s personal
property) shall name Lessor as “loss payee.” Losses
shall be payable to Lessor and/or Lessee as provided in
Article XI. In addition, the policies, as appropriate, shall
name as an “additional insured” and “loss
payee” the holder (“Mortgagee”) of any mortgage,
deed of trust or other security agreement (“Facility”)
securing any indebtedness or any other Encumbrance placed on the
Leased Property in accordance with the provisions of
Article XXVII (“Facility Mortgage”) by way of a
standard form of mortgagee’s loss payable endorsement. (The
parties will discuss and resolve prior to Closing whether
Lessee’s policy adds Lessor and the Facility Mortgagee as an
“additional named insured” on the liability policies or
Lessor obtains a separate policy insuring its negligence with
Lessee reimbursing Lessor for the premium of such policy). A
certificate of insurance shall be delivered to Lessor upon request.
The policies shall insure against the following risks: Loss or
damage by fire, lightning, vandalism and malicious mischief,
extended coverage perils commonly known as special form perils,
including but not limited to explosion, smoke, aircraft or
vehicles, riot; or civic commotion, terrorism, burglary, theft,
sprinkler leakage, volcanic action, falling objects, weight of
snow, ice or sleet, water damage, sinkhole collapse, windstorm or
hail, in an amount not less than the insurable value on a
replacement cost basis; and
10.1.1.
Claims for bodily injury or property damage under a policy of
commercial general liability insurance including contractual
liability coverage with amounts not less than Two Million and
No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit and Four
Million No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00) in the annual
aggregate.
10.1.2.
Ordinance and Law Insurance with amounts not less than Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000) for coverage

10.2.
Waiver of Subrogation . All insurance policies carried by
either party covering the Leased Property shall expressly waive any
right of subrogation on the part of the insurer against the other
party. Each party waives any claims it has against the other party
to the extent such claim is covered by insurance.
10.3.
Policy Requirements . Lessee shall pay all of the premiums
for the insurance. In the event of the failure of Lessee either to
effect such insurance in the names herein called for or to pay the
premiums therefor, or to deliver such certificates thereof to
Lessor, at the times required, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall
have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums
therefor, in which event the cost thereof shall be repayable to
Lessor upon demand therefor. Each insurer shall agree, by
endorsement on the policy or policies issued by it, or by
independent instrument furnished to Lessor, that it will give to
Lessor at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to
Lessor and any Mortgagee before the policy or policies in question
shall be altered, allowed to expire or cancelled. No policy shall
contain a coinsurance clause. Each policy shall have a deductible
or deductibles, if any, which are no greater than those normally
maintained for similar facilities in the State in which the Leased
Property is located.
Each
insurer must have a rating of A:X by Best’s Key Rating Guide
and a rating of A or higher from Standard & Poor’s (or
the equivalent rating from either Fitch or Moody’s or other
nationally recognized institutional rating organization). If an
insurer’s rating falls below such rating, after written
notice from Lessor, Lessee shall have sixty (60) days to
correct the matter by obtaining such insurance from a different
insurer, and if Lessee does not do so, then the Lessor may obtain
such insurance meeting the terms hereof, with the premium to be
paid for by Lessee. Lessee shall not otherwise be in default if any
insurer fails to maintain the required rating.
10.4.
Blanket Policies and Policies Covering Multiple Locations .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article,
Lessee’s obligations to carry the casualty insurance provided
for herein may be brought within the coverage of a blanket policy
or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Lessee provided
that the insurance limits required under this Article X will
be applicable to the Leased Property.
10.5.
No Separate Insurance . Lessee shall not, on Lessee’s
own initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any
third party, (i) take out separate insurance concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in
this Article to be furnished by, or which may reasonably be
required to be furnished by, Lessee or (ii) 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 in all cases Lessor and all Facility Mortgagees, are
included therein as additional insured and the loss is payable
under such insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under
this Lease. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the taking
out of any such separate insurance or of the increasing of any of
the amounts of the then existing insurance by securing an
additional policy or additional policies.

ARTICLE XI.
11.1.
Insurance Proceeds . All proceeds up to the amount of the
greater of (i) $250,000 or (ii) 15% of the value of the Leased
Property payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Leased
Property under any policy of insurance required to be carried
hereunder shall be paid to Lessor and made available by Lessor to
Lessee for the reasonable costs of reconstruction or repair, as the
case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased
Property, provided no Event of Default is existing and continuing.
To the extent that there are insurance proceeds that exceed such
amount, or if Guarantor’s senior unsecured corporate credit
rating is less than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings
Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and less
than the equivalent rating by all other nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations, the proceeds shall be deposited
into escrow to be held by a third party escrow agent reasonably
acceptable to Lessee, Lessor and Lessor’s mortgage lender
(“Lender”) and disbursed pursuant to an escrow
agreement reasonably acceptable to Lessee, Lessor, and Lender. Any
excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the
restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property (or in the
event neither Lessor nor Lessee is required or elects to repair and
restore, all such insurance proceeds) shall be paid to Lessor.
Lessee acknowledges that, as additional collateral for its loan
from Lender, Lessor has assigned to Lender all of Lessor’s
rights and interests in and to any escrow accounts established
pursuant to this Lease. Upon request, Lessee agrees to execute and
deliver such documentation as may be reasonably requested by the
Lender to perfect (or to continue the perfection) of the
Lender’s security interest in and to the escrowed funds, as
described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the
Lessor’s assignment, until such time as Lender shall deliver
to the escrow holder and Lessee written notice that Lessor is in
default under the terms of the loan from Lender, Lessor shall be
permitted to take such actions with regard to the escrowed funds as
are contemplated by th
