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

     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

- 17 -


 
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.

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 . Except for its own gross negligence and willful misconduct, 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,
