(g)    At least 30 days prior to the expiration of each insurance policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate showing renewal of such policy and payment of the annual premium therefor and a current Certificate of 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 Article 4, 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

 

 

18


 

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 shall require the consent of the mortgagee; and [iv] Tenant shall provide such other information and documents as may be required by the mortgagee.

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 therefore by Landlord shall bear interest at Landlord’s rate of return as provided in the Commitment. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Tenant by reason of any such occurrence, Tenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend such action, suit or proceeding. Nothing in this §5.1 shall be construed as requiring Tenant to indemnify Landlord, its agents or employee, with respect to Landlord, its agents or employee gross negligence or willful misconduct or with respect to any claim under the Loan Documents arising from the acts or omissions of Landlord or HCN.

 

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 adversely affects 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 expenses and charges incurred by Landlord relating to the enforcement of the provisions herein specified.

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. Nothing in this §5.3 shall be construed as relieving Landlord or its agents or employees from any liability arising directly out of Landlord’s or its agents’ or employees’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

ARTICLE 6:    USE AND ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES

(a)    Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property without terminating this Lease, and lease the Leased Property for the account of Tenant, holding Tenant liable for all costs of Landlord in reletting the Leased Property and for the difference in the amount received by such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease.

 

 

26


 

 

 

(b)    Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, exclude Tenant from possession of the Leased Property and use commercially reasonable efforts to lease the Leased Property to others, 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 subject to Landlord’s obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any patient or employee information in accordance with the requirements of applicable State or federal law.

 

(e)    Landlord may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent hereunder based on the then current Rent Schedule and Tenant shall be liable for the present value of the aggregate Rent for the unexpired term of this Lease, discounted at an annual rate equal to eight percent (8%), which amount shall become immediately due and payable.

 

(f)    Landlord may demand payment from Tenant of an amount equal to the Outstanding Straight Line Rent Receivable accrued by Landlord under this Lease as of the date that Tenant surrenders possession of the Leased Property (“Surrender Date”). As used herein, the “Outstanding Straight Line Rent Receivable” means [i] the amount of Base Rent that would have accrued under this Lease, up to the Surrender Date, if the Base Rent were calculated based upon the mathematical average of Landlord’s rate of return over the entire Initial Term after taking into account the Increaser Rate for each Lease Year of the entire Initial Term, minus [ii] the amount of Base Rent payable under this Lease, up to the Surrender Date, based upon the Rent Schedule, i.e., based upon the Increaser Rate imposed for each Lease Year up to the Surrender Date, as computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(g)    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 obligations, agreements or covenants of Tenant under this Lease.

 

(h)    With respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof and Secured Party’s security interest therein, Secured Party may exercise all of its rights as secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Secured Party may sell the Collateral by public or private sale upon five 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 Secured Party, a sale of the Collateral, in whole or in part, concurrently with the sale of the Leased Property.

 

 

27


 

 

 

(i)    Secured Party may obtain control over and collect the Receivables and apply the proceeds of the collections to satisfaction of the Obligor Group Obligations unless prohibited by law. For purposes of this §8.2(i), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 Secured Party’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. Absent gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party, Secured Party 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. At Secured Party’s option, Tenant shall [i] provide Secured Party a full accounting of all amounts received on account of Receivables with such frequency and in such form as Secured Party may require, either with or without applying all collections on Receivables in payment of the Obligor Group Obligations or [ii] deliver to Secured Party on the day of receipt all such collections in the form received and duly endorsed by Tenant. At Secured Party’s request, Tenant shall institute any action or enter into any settlement determined by Secured Party to be necessary to obtain recovery or redress from any account debtor in default of Receivables. Secured Party 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 Secured Party, thereby terminating Tenant’s authority to collect Receivables. After terminating Tenant’s authority to enforce or collect Receivables, Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of any or all Receivables and records thereof and is hereby authorized to do so, and only Secured Party shall have the right to collect and enforce the Receivables. Prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Tenant’s cost and expense, but on behalf of Secured Party and for Secured Party’s account, Tenant shall collect or otherwise enforce all amounts unpaid on Receivables and hold all such collections in trust for Secured Party, 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, Secured Party does not assume any of Tenant’s obligations under any Receivable, and Secured Party shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of any of the terms and conditions thereof by Tenant.

 

(j)    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.

 

(k)    Landlord may terminate its obligation, if any, to disburse any Landlord Payments.

 

(l)    Landlord may enter and take possession of the Land and the Facility without terminating this Lease and complete construction and renovation of the Improvements (or any part thereof) and perform the obligations of Tenant under the Lease
