incurred; provided, however, Tenant may contest any Imposition in
accordance with §3.7. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
[i] not more than five days after the due date of each
Imposition, copies of the invoice for such Imposition and except

[ii] not more than 30 days
after the due
date of each Imposition, a copy of the official receipt evidencing

the Leased Property 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 and if Tenant shall have paid all Impositions due and
payable as of the date of the refund. 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 §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

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

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 therefore 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 as of the
termination date, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before
or after such termination, and Tenant’s obligation to pay its
prorated share thereof shall survive such termination.

Definition of
Impositions .
“Impositions” means, collectively, [i] taxes
(including, without limitation, all capital stock and franchise
taxes of Landlord imposed by the Facility State or any governmental
entity in the Facility State due to this lease transaction or
Landlord’s ownership of the Leased Property and the income
arising therefrom, or due to Landlord being considered as doing
business in the Facility State because of Landlord’s
ownership of the Leased Property or lease thereof to Tenant and in
the event Landlord owns or leases property other than the Leased
Property in the Facility State, Landlord agrees to allocate the
foregoing on a pro-rata basis to the Leased Property), all real
estate and personal property ad valorem, sales and use,
business or occupation, single business, gross receipts,
transaction privilege, rent or similar taxes; [ii] assessments
(including, without limitation, all assessments for public
improvements or benefits, whether or not commenced or completed
prior to the date hereof and whether or not to be completed within
the Term); [iii] ground rents, water, sewer or other rents and
charges, excises, tax levies, and fees (including, without
limitation, license, permit, inspection, authorization and similar
fees); [iv] all taxes imposed on Tenant’s operations of
the Leased Property, including, without limitation,
employee
withholding taxes, income taxes and intangible taxes; [v] all
taxes imposed by the Facility State or any governmental entity in
the Facility State with respect to the conveyance of the Leased
Property by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant’s designee,
including, without limitation, conveyance taxes; and [vi] all
other governmental charges, in each case whether general or
special, ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen, of
every character in respect of the Leased Property or any part
thereof and/or the Rent (including all interest and penalties
thereon due to any failure in payment by Tenant), which at any time
prior to, during or in respect of the Term hereof may be assessed
or imposed on or in respect of or be a lien upon [a] Landlord
or Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property or any part
thereof; [b] the Leased Property or any part thereof or any
rent therefrom or any estate, right, title or interest therein; or
[c] any occupancy, operation, use or possession of, or sales

any part thereof. Tenant shall not, however, be required to pay any
capital gains tax or any tax based on net income imposed on
Landlord by any governmental entity other than the capital stock
and franchise taxes described in clause [i] above.
3.3
Escrow of Impositions
. Consistent with and pursuant to
the terms of the Real Estate Tax Escrow Agreement, Tenant shall
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 for real estate taxes, which sums shall be
used by Landlord toward payment of such Impositions. In addition,
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
other than for real estate taxes, which sums shall be used by
Landlord toward payment of such Impositions. Tenant, on demand,
shall pay to Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and
discharge the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of
this section. The receipt by Landlord of the payment of such
Impositions by and from Tenant shall only be as an accommodation to
Tenant, the mortgagees, and the taxing authorities, and shall not
be construed as rent or income to Landlord, Landlord serving, if at
all, only as a conduit for delivery purposes. The foregoing
provision shall become applicable only at such time as the escrow
of Impositions is not required by Lender, it being understood and
agreed that for so long as Lender requires that the real estate tax
portion of the Imposition be escrowed with Lender, Tenant shall be
deemed to have fulfilled its obligations under this §3.3 with
respect to the real estate tax portion of the Imposition provided

required escrow payment of the real estate tax portion of the

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 amount of the annual utility expenses
for the preceding Lease Year, which sums shall be used by Landlord
to pay such utilities. Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord any
additional amount needed to pay such utilities. Landlord’s
receipt of such payments shall only be an accommodation to Tenant
and the utility companies and shall not constitute rent or income
to Landlord. Absent circumstances
beyond
Tenant’s reasonable control, Tenant shall at all times
maintain that amount of heat necessary to ensure against the
freezing of water lines. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any liability or damages to the
utility systems and the Leased Property that may result from
Tenant’s failure to maintain sufficient heat in the
Improvements absent circumstances beyond Tenant’s reasonable
control.
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

of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release
Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease.
3.6
Business Expenses
. Tenant shall promptly pay all
expenses and costs incurred in connection with the operation of the
Facility on the Leased Property, including, without limitation,

Imposition or any Legal Requirement or insurance requirement or any
lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim provided that

levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the commencement and
continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection
thereof from Landlord and from the Leased Property;
[ii] neither the Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom nor
any part thereof or interest therein would be in any immediate
danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost; [iii] in
the case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any
immediate danger of civil or criminal liability for failure to
comply therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings;
[iv] in the event that any such contest shall involve a sum of
money or potential loss in excess of $50,000.00, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord and its counsel an opinion of Tenant’s
counsel to the effect set forth in clauses [i], [ii] and
[iii], to the extent applicable; [v] in the case of a Legal
Requirement and/or an Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge,
Tenant shall give such reasonable security as may be demanded by
Landlord to insure ultimate payment of the same and to prevent any
sale or forfeiture of the affected Leased Property or the Rent by
reason of such nonpayment or noncompliance; provided, however, the
provisions of this section shall not be construed to permit Tenant
to contest the payment of Rent (except as to contests concerning
the method of computation or the basis of levy of any Imposition or
the basis for the assertion of any other claim) or any other sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder; [vi] in the case of
an insurance requirement, the coverage required by Article 4

required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by

therefrom.

insurance business in the Facility State.
(c) Tenant shall be the “named insured”
and Landlord shall be an “additional insured” on each
policy.
(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.

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

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
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.

Landlord now or hereafter places a mortgage on the Leased Property
or any part thereof: [i] Tenant shall obtain a standard form

hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Landlord and HCN
(jointly and severally, “Indemnified Party”), any
successors or assigns of Indemnified Party, and Indemnified

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

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; [vi] any
construction, alterations, changes or demolition of the Facility
performed by or contracted for by Tenant or its employees, agents

Lender as a result of an acceleration of the Loan, as applicable.
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 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

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

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

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
consultants’ and 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

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

misconduct.

(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.
(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
Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the
purposes aforesaid, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Tenant hereby appoints HCN its lawful
attorney-in-fact with full power to do any of the following:
[i] complete construction, renovation and equipping of the
Improvements in the name of Tenant; [ii] use unadvanced funds
remaining under the Investment 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 Investment 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] execute all applications and
certificates, in the name of Tenant, that may be required in
connection with any construction; [vii] 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
[viii] 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 Secured Party or Secured
Party’s designee. This power of attorney is a power coupled
with an interest and cannot be revoked.
(m) Landlord may apply, with or without notice to
Tenant, for the appointment of a receiver (“Receiver”)
for Tenant or Tenant’s business or for the Leased Property.
Unless prohibited by law, such appointment may be made either
before or after termination of Tenant’s possession of the
Leased Property, without notice, without regard to the solvency or
insolvency of Tenant at the time of application for such Receiver
and without regard to the then value of the Leased Property, and
Secured Party may be appointed as Receiver. After the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord shall
be entitled to appointment of a receiver as a matter of right and
without the need to make any showing other than the existence of an
Event of Default. The Receiver shall have the power to collect the
rents, income, profits and Receivables of the Leased Property
during the pendency of the receivership and all other powers which
may be necessary or are usua
