initial term (the "INITIAL TERM") of fifteen (15) years commencing as of the

Commencement Date and expiring at midnight on the last day in the calendar month

in which the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs(the

<PAGE>

1.4. EXERCISE OF RENEWAL OPTIONS.

1.4.1. Tenant may exercise a Renewal Option with respect to

all, but not less than all, of the Premises by providing written notice to

Landlord of each such renewal (a "RENEWAL NOTICE") at least one (1) year but not

more than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or

the first Extended Term, as applicable, on the express conditions that, (x) each

tenant under the Other Leases simultaneously exercises the renewal option under

each of the Other Leases, and (y) at the time Tenant gives a Renewal Notice as

set forth above and at the commencement of the applicable Extended Term (i) the

Tenants are the tenants originally named herein (except with respect to any

Permitted Transfers or Deleted Properties) and an Affiliate of Tenant is the

tenant under all of the Other Leases, (ii) Tenant or a Permitted Transferee

actually occupies all of the Leased Property then demised under this Lease and

an Affiliate of Tenant actually occupies all of the Other Leased Property then

demised under the Other Leases, subject in each case, to the rights of the

Occupants of the Leased Properties and the Other Leased Properties and (iii) no

Event of Default exists under this Lease or the Other Leases or would exist but

for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both. During each Extended

Term, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force

and effect, except that the Fixed Rent for the initial Lease Year of any

Extended Term shall be the greater of: (a) then current Fixed Rent in effect at

the expiration of the Initial Term or the first Extended Term, as applicable,

increased and adjusted upwards pursuant to the formula contained in SECTION

3.1.2 hereof; or (b) Fair Market Rental. The Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to

Landlord for any subsequent Lease Year during an Extended Term shall escalate

pursuant to, and in accordance with, SECTION 3.1.2 hereof. The Fixed Rent shall

not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of

Landlord's not having to find a new tenant for such Leased Property (including,

without limitation, brokerage commissions, costs of improvements, rent

concessions or lost rental income during any vacancy period). Within ninety (90)

days after receipt by Landlord from Tenant of a Renewal Notice, the Fair Market

Rental of each Leased Property shall be determined pursuant to the appraisal

procedure described in SECTION 43 below.

1.4.2. The determination of Fixed Rent does not reduce the

Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent as set forth in the Lease, and Tenant

shall continue to pay such Additional Rent, including escalations as set forth

in the Lease during any Extension Term.

1.4.3. If Tenant does not give the Renewal Notice within the

period set forth in SECTION 1.4.1 above, Tenant's right to extend the Lease Term

shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of any

Renewal Notice.

1.4.4. Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or

otherwise improve the Leased Property for any Extension Term. The Premises shall

be tendered on the commencement date of any Extension Term in "as-is" condition.

2. DEFINITIONS. For all purposes of this Lease, except as otherwise

expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all accounting

terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in

accordance with GAAP, (ii) all references in this

3

<PAGE>

Lease to designated "Sections", "Subsections" and other subdivisions are to the

designated Sections, Subsections and other subdivisions of this Lease, (iii) the

words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer

to this Lease as a whole and not to any particular Section, Subsection or other

subdivision, and (iv) the terms defined in EXHIBIT "B" attached hereto have the

meanings assigned to them in such exhibit and include the plural as well as the

singular.

3. RENT.

3.1. FIXED RENT.

3.1.1. RENTAL PAYMENTS. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in

advance and without demand, on or prior to the first (1st) day of each calendar

month during the Term, in lawful money of the United States of America, by wire

transfer and pursuant to the wiring instructions attached hereto as SCHEDULE

3.1.1, or at such place or to such Person(s) as Landlord from time to time may

designate in writing, the Fixed Rent (and Additional Rent in those instances

described in SECTION 3.3 below) payable in respect of such month. Landlord may,

by written notice to Tenant at any time and from time to time, elect to require

that Rent (or portions thereof designated by Landlord) owing hereunder be paid

to a lock box. Fixed Rent (and Additional Rent in those instances described in

SECTION 3.3 below) shall be paid in equal, consecutive monthly installments;

provided, however, that the first payment of Fixed Rent (and the aforesaid

Additional Rent) shall be payable on the date hereof, and prorated for the

period from and including the date hereof through January 31, 2004, and the last

monthly payment of Fixed Rent (and the aforesaid Additional Rent) shall be

prorated as to any partial month.

3.1.2. RENTAL AMOUNTS. Fixed Rent for the First Lease Year

shall be Three Million Two Hundred Seventy Thousand Three Hundred Twenty-Two and

No/100 Dollars per annum ($3,270,322.00), payable in equal monthly installments

of Two Hundred Seventy-Two Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-Six and 83/100 Dollars

($272,526.83). Each Tenant's allocable share of Fixed Rent shall be equal to the

initial amount with respect to such Tenant set forth on SCHEDULE 2 attached

hereto (the "ALLOCATED RENT"). Commencing on the first day of the second (2nd)

Lease Year of the Initial Term, and on the first day of each Lease Year

thereafter during the Term, the Fixed Rent (and, with respect to each Leased

Property. the Allocated Rent) for such Lease Year shall be an amount equal to

the sum of (i) the Prior Period Fixed Rent (and, with respect to each Leased

Property, the Prior Period Allocated Rent) applicable to such Lease Year, plus

(ii) an amount equal to the product of (a) the Prior Period Fixed Rent (and,

with respect to each Leased Property, the Prior Period Allocated Rent)

applicable to such Lease Year and (b) the greater of (x) one and one half

percent (1.5%) or (y) seventy five percent (75%) of the actual CPI Increase,

expressed as a percentage, for such Lease Year for which such calculation is

being performed.

3.1.3. FIXED RENT DETERMINATIONS. Promptly after the

publication of the Cost of Living Index for the tenth (10th) month during any

Lease Year, Landlord shall calculate the CPI Increase and the Fixed Rent for the

next Lease Year and submit its determination of Fixed Rent for the next Lease

Year for Tenant's approval, which determination

4

<PAGE>

shall be deemed approved, absent written notice from Tenant setting forth with

reasonable specificity and detail any manifest errors in such determination by

Landlord within five (5) days after its submission to Tenant. The determination

of Fixed Rent by Landlord shall be deemed correct and approved by Tenant absent

manifest error in its determination on the part of Landlord. In the event

Landlord and Tenant are unable to determine Fixed Rent for any Lease Year on or

prior to the commencement of such Lease Year, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for

such Lease Year assuming a one and one-half percent (1.5%) increase over the

Prior Period Fixed Rent applicable to such Lease Year until the correct Fixed

Rent is determined for such Lease Year. If the Fixed Rent ultimately determined

for any such Lease Year exceeds the assumed amount, Tenant shall pay any

deficiency with the first installment of Fixed Rent owing after such

determination is made. If the Fixed Rent ultimately determined for any such

Lease Year is less than the assumed amount, any excess amounts paid by Tenant on

account of the Fixed Rent for such Lease Year shall be credited against the next

installment of Fixed Rent due and owing hereunder. At either party's written

request, following the determination of Fixed Rent for a particular Lease Year,

both parties shall, not later than five (5) Business Days after the

non-requesting party's receipt of such request, execute and enter into a written

instrument memorializing the amount of such Fixed Rent provided, however, the

failure to enter such written instrument shall not relieve Tenant of its

obligation to pay Fixed Rent as determined hereunder.

3.2. ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to Fixed Rent, Tenant shall pay

and discharge as and when due and payable the following (collectively

"ADDITIONAL RENT") (any reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred by

Landlord on behalf of Tenant that constitute Additional Rent shall be reimbursed

by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after the presentation by Landlord to

Tenant of invoices therefor):

3.2.1. IMPOSITIONS. Tenant shall pay all Impositions prior to

delinquency, levied or accruing for any period during the Term regardless of

when due and payable, and in any event before any fine, penalty, interest or

cost may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the

taxing authorities where feasible. Impositions accruing in respect of any

periods prior to or after the Term shall be prorated between Landlord and

Tenant. Tenant shall, promptly upon request, furnish to Landlord copies of

official receipts or other satisfactory evidence of such payments. If any such

Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments

(whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition),

Tenant may exercise the option to pay same (and any accrued interest on the

unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments (provided no such

installments shall extend beyond the Term) and, in such event, shall pay such

installments during the Term before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest

or cost may be added thereto.

3.2.2. UTILITY CHARGES. Tenant shall pay any and all charges

for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, sanitary and storm sewer, refuse

collection, medical waste disposal and other utilities used or consumed in

connection with each Leased Property during the Term. In the event Landlord is

billed directly by any utility company for any utilities or services supplied to

Tenant during the Term, Landlord shall send Tenant the bill and Tenant shall pay

the

5

same before it is due, provided that Landlord has sent the bill to Tenant at

least ten (10) days prior to the due date. Tenant agrees that, in the event

Landlord has not sent the bill ten (10) days prior to the due date, Tenant shall

use best efforts to pay the bill before it is due, and in any event will pay

said bill within ten (10) days of receipt of said bill from Landlord.. Landlord

shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any interruption or

failure in the supply of any such utilities.

3.2.3. INSURANCE PREMIUMS. Tenant shall pay all premiums for

the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to SECTION 14 hereof,

and obtain reimbursement for such premiums from the Insurance Escrow in

accordance with SECTION 3.3.2.

3.2.4. OTHER CHARGES. Tenant shall pay all other amounts,

liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses paid or incurred with respect to

the ownership (not including any debt service payments on any Landlord

financing), repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance and operation of the

Premises.

3.2.5. LATE PAYMENT OF RENT. If any installment of Fixed Rent

or Additional Rent (but only as to those Additional Rent payments that are

payable directly to Landlord or Landlord's agent or assignee) shall not be paid

by the fifth (5th) day following its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for

such overdue installment, on demand, interest computed at the Overdue Rate on

the amount of such installment, from the due date of such installment to the

date of payment thereof. In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any

Additional Rent when due, Tenant shall in addition promptly pay and discharge,

as Additional Rent, every fine, penalty, interest and cost that may be added for

non-payment or late payment of such items.

3.2.6. CONSENT EXPENSES. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent,

on behalf of Landlord, or reimburse Landlord for, any and all actual

out-of-pocket costs or expenses paid or incurred by Landlord relating to any

request made by Tenant of Landlord or relating to expenses incurred in

connection with a default by Tenant, including, without limitation, reasonable

attorneys' fees, in connection with any of the following activities undertaken

by or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease: (i) the review, execution,

negotiation or delivery of any consent, waiver, estoppel, subordination

"landlord's waiver"; (ii) the review by Landlord or Landlord's Representatives

request or other activity comparable to any of the foregoing (collectively, such

expenses, "CONSENT EXPENSES"). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for (or pay on

behalf of Landlord) any Consent Expenses within ten (10) days after the

presentation by Landlord to Tenant of invoices therefor.

3.3. ESCROW DEPOSITS.

3.3.1. ESCROW RELATIVE TO IMPOSITIONS. Tenant shall, on the

date the first payment of Fixed Rent is due hereunder (the "ESCROW COMMENCEMENT

DATE"), and on the first day of each of the next eleven calendar months

thereafter, pay to and deposit with Landlord a sum equal to one twelfth (1/12th)

of the Impositions to be levied, charged, filed, assessed or imposed upon or

against the Premises during such twelve (12) month period (it being agreed that

such payments and deposits only need to be made for such first twelve (12)

months commencing on the Escrow Commencement Date). The amounts so deposited

shall be held as provided herein to secure Tenant's obligations to pay

Impositions pursuant to SECTION 3.2.1 (the "IMPOSITION ESCROW"). If the amount

of the Impositions to be levied, charged, filed, assessed or imposed, during the

twelve (12) months following the Escrow Commencement Date cannot be determined

as of the Escrow Commencement Date, such amount for the purpose of computing the

deposit to be made by Tenant into the Imposition Escrow shall be estimated by

Landlord with an appropriate adjustment to be promptly made between Landlord and

Tenant as soon as such amount becomes determinable. Landlord may, at its option,

from time to time require that any particular monthly deposit be greater than

one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated Impositions payable during the twelve (12)

months after the Escrow Commencement Date, if such additional deposit would be

required to provide a sufficient amount in the Imposition Escrow to secure

payment of such Impositions not later than the due date thereof. The actual or

estimated amounts of Impositions in the Imposition Escrow shall be adjusted

annually so that the amount held in the Impositions Escrow is equal to the

Impositions estimated to be paid by Tenant during such year. In the event of any

deficiency, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof and Tenant shall promptly

deliver to Landlord the amount of such deficiency within ten (10) days of

Landlord's written request therefor. The Impositions Escrow shall be held by

Landlord for the Term of the Lease and be used by Landlord pursuant to SECTION

3.3.4 and returned to Tenant pursuant to SECTION 3.3.6.

3.3.2. ESCROW RELATIVE TO INSURANCE. Tenant shall, on the

Escrow Commencement Date, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter

during the Term, pay to and deposit with Landlord a sum equal to (i) one twelfth

(1/12th) of the premiums for the insurance policies required pursuant to SECTION

14 hereof that are payable during the twelve (12) months after the Escrow

Commencement Date (or any subsequent twelve (12) month period)(the "INSURANCE

ESCROW"). If the amount of the insurance premiums to be paid, during the twelve

(12) months following the Escrow Commencement Date (or for any subsequent twelve

(12) month period hereunder) cannot be determined as of the Escrow Commencement

Date (or the commencement of any subsequent twelve (12) month period), such

amount for the purpose of computing the deposit to be made by Tenant hereunder

shall be estimated by Landlord with an appropriate adjustment to be promptly

made between Landlord and Tenant as soon as such amount becomes determinable.

Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all notices, demands, claims, bills

and receipts in relation to the insurance premiums promptly upon receipt thereof

by Tenant. The actual or estimated amounts of insurance premiums in the

Insurance Escrow Account shall be adjusted annually.

<PAGE>

3.3.3. LANDLORD'S DEPOSIT. The escrow deposits made by Tenant

pursuant to this SECTION 3.3 shall be deposited by Landlord in a segregated

interest-bearing account (which account may include amounts held by Landlord

pursuant to this Lease or Other Landlords pursuant to the Other Leases) (the

"ESCROW ACCOUNT") of Landlord or with any Facility Mortgagee, in the sole

discretion of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other

Person for any consequent loss of principal or interest on funds held in the

Escrow Account other than as a result of a bankruptcy or the willful misconduct

of Landlord or Other Landlords or other action by or on account of any creditor

of Landlord or Other Landlords. Furthermore, neither Landlord or Other Landlords

nor any Facility Mortgagee shall bear responsibility for the financial condition

of, nor any act or omission by, any Lending Institution at which the Escrow

Account is located. The interest from such deposits shall be retained in the

Escrow Account to be applied in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 3.3.

3.3.4. USE OF DEPOSITS. Tenant shall pay any and all

Impositions and insurance premiums when due, regardless of whether or not the

funds then held in the Escrow Account are sufficient to reimburse Tenant

therefor (it being understood that Tenant will not be reimbursed for

Impositions). The sums deposited by Tenant under this SECTION 3.3 shall be held

by Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee, and, with respect to insurance premiums,

provided that no Event of Default exists hereunder, shall be used to reimburse

Tenant for insurance premiums, paid by Tenant, upon delivery by Tenant to

Landlord or such Facility Mortgagee, as applicable, of documentation evidencing

the payment of such insurance premiums, which reimbursement shall be provided

within ten (10) days after the presentation of such evidence. If Tenant fails to

pay any Impositions or insurance premiums when due and owing hereunder to the

applicable taxing authority or insurance carrier, Landlord or any Facility

Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, pay such Impositions or insurance

premiums from any funds in the Escrow Account and Tenant shall promptly repay in

full (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such payment by Landlord

or any Facility Mortgagee) such amount so paid by Landlord or Facility

Mortgagee. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may apply any

funds held in the Escrow Account to cure such Event of Default or on account any

damages suffered or incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

3.3.5. DEFICITS. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever

to Tenant if any deposits held by Landlord under this SECTION 3.3 are not

sufficient to reimburse Tenant for any insurance premium paid by Tenant.

Landlord may change its estimate of any Imposition or insurance premium for any

period on the basis of a change in an assessment or tax rate or of a prior

miscalculation or for any other good faith reason. In such event, Tenant shall

deposit with Landlord the amount in excess of the sums previously deposited with

Landlord for the applicable period within ten (10) days after Landlord's request

therefor.

3.3.6. TRANSFERS; REFUND. In connection with any assignment of

the Landlord's interest under this Lease, the assigning Landlord or any

predecessor shall have the right to transfer all amounts deposited pursuant to

the provisions of this SECTION 3.3 and still in its possession to such assignee

and, upon such transfer, the assigning Landlord or any such predecessor, as the

case may be, transferring the deposits shall thereupon be completely released

8

<PAGE>

from all liability with respect to such deposits so transferred, and Tenant

shall look solely to said assignee in reference thereto. As of the Expiration

Date, any sums held by Landlord under this SECTION 3.3 (inclusive of interest

accrued thereon) shall be returned to Tenant, only as and when the conditions of

the second to last sentence of SECTION 3.4.4 for the return of the Security

Deposit have been met and provided that any and all Impositions or insurance

premiums due and owing hereunder have been paid in full.

3.4. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

3.4.1. CASH SECURITY DEPOSIT; APPLICATION. Unless Tenant has

made the LC Election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon the delivery of this

Lease an amount equal to one (1) month of Fixed Rent (subject to increase as

described in SECTION 3.4.4 below, the "SECURITY AMOUNT") as security (the

"SECURITY DEPOSIT") for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and

every term, provision, covenant and condition of this Lease. Upon the occurrence

of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, Landlord may, but

shall not be required to, use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the

Security Deposit (whether by drawing upon the Letter of Credit or applying the

cash Security Deposit held by it) for the payment of any Rent in default or for

any other sum that Landlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of

such Event of Default, including any damages or deficiency in the reletting of

the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary

proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to any

interest on the Security Deposit and Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit in

a segregated account (which account may include amounts held by Landlord

pursuant to this Lease and amounts held by the Other Landlords pursuant to the

Other Leases). Provided no Event of Default exists, interest earned thereon

shall be distributed to Tenant on the last day of each Lease Year during the

Term. In case of a sale or transfer of the Premises by Landlord, or any

cessation of Landlord's interest therein, whether in whole or in part, Landlord

shall pay over any unapplied part of the Security Deposit (or, in the case of

any such partial transfer or cessation, such portion as Landlord allocates to

such part of the Premises, in its reasonable discretion) or transfer the Letter

of Credit if the LC Election has been made, with any fees incident to such

transfer being paid by Tenant (which transfer, in the case of any such partial

transfer or cessation, shall require Tenant to cause the Letter Credit to be

reissued as separate Letters of Credit satisfying the requirements of SECTION

3.4.2 as to the remaining Leased Properties) to the successor owner of the

Premises, and from and after such payment, Landlord shall be relieved of all

liability with respect thereto. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall

apply to every subsequent sale or transfer of the Premises or any part thereof.

3.4.2. LC ELECTION. At any time, and from time to time, Tenant

may elect (such election, a "LC ELECTION"), in its sole discretion and by

written notice to Landlord, to post the Security Deposit in the form of an

irrevocable, standby Letter of Credit with a face value of the full Security

Amount (the "LETTER OF CREDIT"). Within ten (10) days after notice of an LC

Election, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit satisfying the

requirements of this SECTION 3.4.2 in the place and stead of the cash Security

Deposit, whereupon Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of a cash

Security Deposit then held by Landlord. The Letter of

9

<PAGE>

Credit shall: (a) be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord;

(b) name Landlord as its sole beneficiary; (c) expressly allow Landlord to draw

upon it at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part, by delivering to

the issuer, at an office of the issuer located in New York, New York,

Louisville, Kentucky or Chicago, Illinois, the original letter of credit

together with a written notice that Landlord is entitled to draw thereon

pursuant to the terms of this Lease; (d) be issued by an FDIC-insured Lending

Institution that is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, but shall in all events

have a credit rating of "AA" (or the equivalent) or higher from one of the

Rating Agencies; and (e) be expressly unconditional, irrevocable and fully

transferable subject to such reasonable and customary fees and conditions

specified in the approved Letter of Credit as the issuer may impose. The Letter

of Credit (and any renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not

less than one (1) year. Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time, as

necessary, (i) renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit

not less than thirty (30) days prior to its stated expiration date so that it

will remain in full force and effect until the later of thirty (30) days after

the last day of the Term or the date on which Tenant's obligations under this

Lease are satisfied in full or (ii) deliver a cash Security Deposit in the

Security Amount not less than thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration

date of such Letter of Credit. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or

replacement at least 30 days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter

of Credit or the issuer fails to maintain an "AA" or higher rating and Letter of

Credit is not replaced within ten (10) days of Landlord's notice, Landlord, or

its successor, may immediately draw upon such Letter of Credit and, hold the

proceeds thereof as a cash Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

Any renewal of or replacement for the original or any subsequent Letter of

Credit shall be in an amount not less than the Security Amount and shall

otherwise meet the requirements for the original Letter of Credit as set forth

above.

3.4.3. RELEASE/RESTORATION OF SECURITY DEPOSIT.

3.4.3.1 RELEASE. Provided no Event of Default exists under this Lease or

the Other Leases, or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of

notice, or both, upon written request of Tenant, if the Portfolio Coverage Ratio

is 1:40:1.00 or greater for twelve (12) consecutive months after the

Commencement Date, the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, as applicable,

shall be returned to Tenant within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's request,

provided Tenant has provided Landlord with the necessary backup documentation

supporting the calculation of the Portfolio Coverage Ratio. Prior to any return

of the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit based upon a calculation of the

Portfolio Coverage Ratio, the Landlord may, based upon Landlord's reasonable

belief that such calculation is incorrect, delay such return until such time as

it has conducted an audit of such calculation to be conducted at its sole cost

and expense by an auditor of its choice. In the event Landlord elects to have an

audit performed, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice within the

foregoing 15-day period informing Tenant that such audit is being conducted (the

"AUDIT NOTICE"). Such audit must be completed within thirty (30) days of the

date of the Audit Notice. If Landlord's audit reveals a discrepancy such that

the Portfolio Coverage Ratio as determined by Landlord's audit is less than

1.40:1.00, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such audit, and

the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, as applicable, shall not be released.

10

<PAGE>

3.4.3.2 RESTORATION. In the event the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit

has been returned to Tenant and thereafter the Portfolio Coverage Ratio

subsequently falls below 1:25:1.00, Tenant shall be required to restore the

Security Deposit or post the Letter of Credit in the amount that would have been

required pursuant to SECTION 3.4.4 as if the Security Deposit or Letter of

Credit had never been released.

3.4.3.3 SUBSEQUENT RELEASE/RESTORATION. After the restoration of the

Security Deposit or Letter of Credit in accordance with SECTION 3.4.3.2, then,

provided no Event of Default exists under this Lease or the Other Leases, or

would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, upon

written request of Tenant, if the Portfolio Coverage Ratio once again is

1:40:1.00 or greater, then the release and restoration provisions of SECTION

3.4.3.1 and SECTION 3.4.3.2 shall apply. In the event the Security Deposit or

Letter of Credit, as applicable, has been returned and restored five (5) times

over the course of the Term of the Lease, then Tenant shall have no further

right to a release of the Security Deposit pursuant to this SECTION 3.4.3.

3.4.4. INCREASE OR DECREASE; REPLACEMENT OF SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after any increase in Fixed Rent hereunder,

shall deposit with Landlord cash in, or increase the face amount of the Letter

of Credit by, the amount necessary to ensure that the Security Deposit hereunder

continues to be equal to one (1) month's annual Fixed Rent based upon the

increased Fixed Rent from time to time due hereunder. In the event the Security

Deposit (or any portion thereof) is applied (or drawn upon from time to time in

full or partial amounts in the case of the Letter of Credit and any renewals or

replacements thereof) by Landlord on account of any Event(s) of Default by

Tenant hereunder or as otherwise expressly provided in this SECTION 3.4, Tenant

shall replenish said Security Deposit in full, within fifteen (15) days after

demand therefor, by paying to Landlord the amount so applied or, in the case of

the Letter of Credit, restoring the Letter of Credit to its full amount.

Tenant's failure to timely replenish and restore the Security Deposit as

aforesaid shall be an Event of Default. If: (a) no Event of Default has occurred

and is continuing hereunder and (b) Tenant has fully performed and satisfied all

of its obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation and as

applicable, its obligations relative to any Operational Transfer(s)), then the

Security Deposit, or the remaining unapplied portion thereof, shall be paid or

returned to Tenant within thirty five (35) days after the expiration or

termination of this Lease and the surrender of the Premises to Landlord in the

condition required hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord may retain an

amount, as it shall reasonably determine, to secure the payment of any Rent, the

amount of which Landlord is then unable to determine finally (and Landlord shall

return any such retained amount to Tenant promptly following the final

determination of such Rent amount and the full payment to Landlord of such

Rent). The Security Deposit shall not be deemed an advance payment of Rent or a

measure of Landlord's damages for any default hereunder by Tenant, nor shall it

be a bar or defense to any action that Landlord may at any time commence against

Tenant.

3.5. DEFERRED MAINTENANCE DEPOSIT. Landlord has deposited the amount

set forth in SCHEDULE 3.5 (the "DEFERRED MAINTENANCE DEPOSIT" ) as a reserve for

the completion of those capital repair items set forth on SCHEDULE 3.5 (the

"CAPITAL REPAIR ITEMS"). Tenant shall

11

<PAGE>

be entitled to any interest on the Deferred Maintenance Deposit and Landlord

shall hold the Deferred Maintenance Deposit in a segregated account (which

account may include amounts held by Landlord pursuant to this Lease and amounts

held by the Other Landlords pursuant to the Other Leases). The Deferred

Maintenance Deposit is specifically allocated among the Capital Repair Items

(each such allocation, an "ALLOWANCE AMOUNT") as such allocations are more fully

set forth on SCHEDULE 3.5. Tenant shall act diligently and in good faith to

cure, repair, or replace, as applicable, the Capital Repair Items. Landlord

shall reimburse Tenant for the cost incurred by the Tenant to cure, repair or

replace any Capital Repair Item from the Deferred Maintenance Deposit up to an

amount not to exceed the applicable Allowance Amount for any Capital Repair Item

or the amount of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit for all Capital Repair Items.

Landlord shall provide such reimbursement to Tenant upon receipt of Tenant's

written request therefor, only at such time as the Capital Repair Item has been

completed to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction and Tenant has presented

satisfactory evidence (in the form of final lien waivers from all contractors

and subcontractors) that any portion of the cost of such Capital Repair Item

required to be paid by Tenant hereunder has been paid in full. Tenant may not

make a reimbursement request in an amount less than One Hundred Thousand and

No/100 Dollars ($100,000) until such time that the Deferred Maintenance Deposit

Amount is less than Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000). Any cure,

repair or replacement of a Capital Repair Item at the Facility shall be

performed by the Tenant subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of SECTION

11.2 of this Lease applicable to such activities. If the cost incurred by Tenant

to complete a Capital Repair Item exceeds the applicable Allocated Amount, such

excess cost shall be paid by Tenant without contribution from Landlord. Any

Capital Repair Item shall be repaired, cured, or replaced in a good, workmanlike

and lien free fashion. If any part of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit has not

been applied by Landlord towards the cost of Capital Repair Items after the

completion of all Capital Repair Items in accordance with the requirements of

this SECTION 3.5, Landlord shall promptly pay such amounts to Tenant within ten

(10) days following Tenant's written request therefor. If Tenant has not

repaired, cured or replaced the Capital Repair Items within twelve (12) months

after Commencement Date, Landlord shall have the right to repair, maintain,

replace or cure such Capital Repair Items on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant's

sole cost. Any costs so incurred by Landlord shall first be deducted from the

Deferred Maintenance Deposit. If the cost incurred by Landlord to perform any

such Capital Repair Items exceeds the remaining Deferred Maintenance Deposit,

Tenant shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days, reimburse Landlord

for such excess costs. Delinquent amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord pursuant

to this SECTION 3.5 shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate.

3.6. NET LEASE. The Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord,

free of all Impositions, utility charges, operating expenses, insurance premiums

or any other charges or expenses in connection with the Premises, without any

rights of deduction, set-off or abatement, so that this Lease shall yield to

Landlord the full amount of the installments of Fixed Rent, throughout the Term.

This Lease is intended to be and shall be construed as an absolutely net lease

pursuant to which Landlord shall not, under any circumstances or conditions,

whether presently existing or hereafter arising, and whether foreseen or

unforeseen by the parties, be

12

<PAGE>

required to make any payment or expenditure of any kind whatsoever or be under

any other obligation or liability whatsoever, except as expressly set forth

herein.

3.7. LEASE GUARANTY. On the date hereof, Tenant shall cause to be

delivered to Landlord the Lease Guaranty made by Guarantor guaranteeing all of

Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

4. IMPOSITIONS.

4.1. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Subject to SECTION 13 relating to

permitted contests, Tenant shall pay all Impositions as set forth in SECTION

3.2.1 accruing for any tax period occurring during the Term, irrespective of

whether the Impositions for such tax period are due and payable during or after

the Term. Tenant's obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely

fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or

any part thereof. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in

respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant during the Term, the same shall be paid

over to or retained by Tenant but only if no Event of Default shall have

occurred hereunder and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall exist

hereunder, such refund shall be paid over to and retained by Landlord until such

Event of Default has been cured or corrected, if at all, unless such refund has

been applied by Landlord in connection with SECTION 17.4. If Tenant nevertheless

receives such refund, Tenant shall, upon receipt, immediately pay such refund

over to Landlord in full. Any such funds retained by Landlord due to an Event of

Default shall be applied to Tenant's obligations under this Lease as Landlord

shall determine in its sole discretion. In the event any Governmental Authority

classifies any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant shall

file any personal property tax returns that are required with respect thereto.

Subject to the terms of SECTION 13, Tenant may, upon notice to Landlord, at

Tenant's option and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or

institute tax contests to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property

assessments and Landlord, at Tenant's expense as aforesaid, shall cooperate with

Tenant in such protest, appeal, or other action to the extent required by law

and reasonably requested by Tenant.

4.2. NOTICE OF IMPOSITIONS. Landlord or Landlord's designee shall

use reasonable efforts to give prompt notice to Tenant of all Impositions

payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge (which

notice shall be deemed properly given if given pursuant to SECTION 33 hereof and

may be concurrently delivered by an e-mail notification to Tenant at

stany@brookdaleliving.com and sbeck@brookdaleliving.com or such other e-mail

address as provided to Landlord by notice pursuant to SECTION 33), provided,

however, that any failure by Landlord to provide such notice to Tenant shall in

no way relieve Tenant of its obligation to timely pay the Impositions; provided

that Tenant has received notice of such Impositions prior to the date on which

any Imposition is due. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, on or before the due

date of each Imposition, copies of the invoice for such Imposition, the check

delivered for payment thereof and an original receipt evidencing such payment or

other proof of payment satisfactory to Landlord.

13

<PAGE>

4.3. ADJUSTMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Any Imposition imposed in respect of

the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates or expires shall be

adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such

Imposition is imposed before or after such termination or expiration, and

Tenant's obligation to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such

termination or expiration.

5. NO AFFECT OR IMPAIRMENT, ETC. The respective obligations of Landlord

and Tenant shall not be affected or impaired by reason of (a) any damage to, or

destruction of, any Leased Property or any portion thereof, from whatever cause,

or any Condemnation of any Leased Property or any portion thereof (except as

otherwise expressly and specifically provided in SECTION 15 or SECTION 16), (b)

the interruption or discontinuation of any service or utility servicing any

Leased Property, (c) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon,

Tenant's use of any Leased Property, or any portion thereof, due to the

interference with such use by any Person or eviction by paramount title, (d) any

claim that Tenant has or might have against Landlord on account of any breach of

warranty or default by Landlord under this Lease or any other agreement by which

Landlord is bound, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,

readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings

affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord, (f) the

revocation, suspension or non-renewal of any license, permit, approval or other

Authorization, or (g) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any

of the foregoing other than a discharge of Tenant from any such obligations as a

matter of law. Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any

occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law

(i) to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender any Leased

Property or any portion thereof, or (ii) that would entitle Tenant to any

abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable

by Tenant hereunder. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be

separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other

sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events

unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

6. PREMISES; TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY.

6.1. OWNERSHIP OF THE PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that the

Premises are the property of Landlord and that Tenant has only the right to the

possession and use of the Premises upon and subject to the terms and conditions

of this Lease.

6.2. TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY. Tenant may (and shall as provided

herein below), at its sole expense, install, affix or assemble or place on any

parcels of the Land or in any of the Leased Improvements, any items of Tenant's

Personal Property and Tenant shall, subject to the terms of SECTION 21.1.1 and

the conditions set forth below, and except for any Tenant's Personal Property

that is purchased by Landlord pursuant to SECTION 35, remove the same upon the

expiration or any prior termination of the Term as it relates to any Leased

Property(ies) upon which the same are located. Tenant shall provide and maintain

during the entire Term all such Tenant's Personal Property and Landlord's

Personal Property as shall be necessary to maintain the Authorizations in effect

and to operate each Facility in compliance with all licensure and

14

<PAGE>

certification requirements, and all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance

Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry

for the Primary Intended Use of each Leased Property. All of Tenant's Personal

Property not removed on or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of

this Lease shall be considered abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated,

sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without first giving notice

thereof to Tenant and without any payment to Tenant and without any obligation

to account therefor or otherwise dispose of the same in accordance with

applicable law.

6.3. LANDLORD'S PERSONAL PROPERTY. Tenant may, from time to time, at

Tenant's sole discretion, without notice to or approval of Landlord, sell or

dispose of any item of Landlord's Personal Property; provided, unless such item

is functionally obsolete, Tenant shall promptly replace such item with an item

of similar quality, use and functionality.

7. CONDITION AND USE OF EACH LEASED PROPERTY.

7.1. CONDITION OF EACH LEASED PROPERTY. Tenant acknowledges receipt

and delivery of possession of each Leased Property. Tenant is leasing each

Leased Property "AS IS" "WHERE IS" and Tenant waives any claim or action against

Landlord in respect of the condition of each Leased Property. LANDLORD MAKES NO

WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF ANY LEASED

PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR

ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP

THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, OR OTHERWISE, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE

TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN

INSPECTED BY TENANT AND THAT TENANT HAS FOUND EACH LEASED PROPERTY TO BE IN GOOD

ORDER AND REPAIR AND SATISFACTORY FOR ITS PURPOSES HEREUNDER.

7.2. USE OF EACH LEASED PROPERTY.

7.2.1. PRIMARY INTENDED USE. During the entire Term, Tenant

shall use each Facility (including, without limitation, the Leased Improvements

thereon) solely for its Primary Intended Use (and shall not change, or consent

to or acquiesce in the change of, such Primary Intended Use) and shall operate

each Facility (or cause Property Manager to operate each Facility) in a

professional manner consistent with a high quality senior independent living

facility and/or assisted living facility, as applicable, with services provided

as appropriate in the relevant marketplace. No use shall be made or permitted to

be made of any Leased Property, and no acts shall be done, that would cause the

cancellation of any insurance policy covering such Leased Property or any part

thereof, nor shall Tenant sell or otherwise provide to Occupants therein

(including any tenants under the Service Leases), or permit to be kept, used or

sold in or about such Leased Property, any article that may be prohibited by any

Legal Requirements or by the standard form of fire insurance policies, or any

other insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriters'

regulations.

7.2.2. AUTHORIZATIONS APPURTENANT. The Authorizations for any

Facility shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, relate and apply

exclusively to such Facility, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, subject

to all applicable Legal Requirements, the Authorizations are appurtenant to the

Facilities to which they apply, both during and following the termination or

expiration of the Term. In jurisdictions where the Authorizations are issued to

a Tenant or the Property Manager, as the Facility operator, Tenant agrees that

to the extent permitted in accordance with applicable law (i) such

Authorizations shall nevertheless remain the property of Landlord and be held by

Tenant or such Property Manager, in trust for the benefit of Landlord pursuant

to a revocable, temporary license that may be revoked by Landlord at any time,

and (ii) in connection with an Operational Transfer or as otherwise required by

Landlord, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, in accordance with SECTION 37

hereof, to turn over all of Tenant's rights in connection with such

Authorizations to Landlord or Successor Operator, as applicable. This SECTION

7.2.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

7.3. AUTHORIZATION COLLATERAL. To the fullest extent permitted by

applicable law, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a first priority security

interest in, and lien upon, all Authorizations issued to, leased or licensed to,

or held by, Tenant, including, but not limited to, Tenant's interest in and

rights under all licenses, with respect to the Facilities (collectively, the

"AUTHORIZATION COLLATERAL") to secure the performance of all of Tenant's

obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, its obligation to

engage in, assist with and facilitate any Operational Transfer. Tenant

represents and warrants to Landlord that attached hereto on SCHEDULE 7.3 is a

detailed list and description of all of the Authorization Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not

(under any circumstances) grant any lien upon, security interest in and to or

otherwise pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer or assign, in whole or in

part, the Authorization Collateral to any Person, irrespective of the priority

of such security interest, pledge or hypothecation. The security interest and

lien granted by this SECTION 7.3 shall be in addition to any lien of Landlord

that may now or at any time hereafter be provided by law. The provisions of

SECTION 21.1.1.1 below shall be applicable to the security interest and lien

referenced in this SECTION 7.3.

7.4. GRANTING OF EASEMENTS, ETC. Landlord may, from time to time,

with respect to any Leased Property and, unless required by law (in which case

no Tenant consent shall be required) and upon the prior written consent of

Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and which consent

shall be deemed given if not expressly denied by Tenant, in writing, within ten

(10) Business Days of Tenant's receipt of such request accompanied by the

relevant documents): (i) grant easements, covenants and restrictions, and other

rights in the nature of easements, covenants and restrictions, (ii) release

existing easements, covenants and restrictions, or other rights in the nature of

easements, covenants or restrictions, that are for the benefit of such Leased

Property, (iii) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of such Leased Property

for road, highway or other public purposes, (iv) execute petitions to have such

Leased Property annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district, (v)

execute amendments to any easements, covenants and restrictions affecting such

Leased Property and

16

<PAGE>

(vi) execute and deliver to any Person any instrument appropriate to confirm or

effect such grants, releases, dedications and transfers (to the extent of its

interests in such Leased Property).

8. NEGATIVE AND AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF TENANT.

8.1. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Tenant covenants and agrees with Landlord

that:

8.1.1. LIENS; WASTE. No Tenant shall create, incur, assume or

suffer to exist any lien, charge, encumbrance, easement or restriction on any

portion of any of the Premises. No Tenant shall commit or suffer to be committed

any waste on any Leased Property, nor shall any Tenant cause or permit any

or omission of which may materially impair the value or the usefulness of any

Leased Property or any part thereof for its Primary Intended Use.

8.1.2. ISSUANCE OF EQUITY INTERESTS. No Tenant shall issue or

allow to be created any stocks, shares, partnership or membership interests or

other ownership interests in any Tenant, other than the stocks, shares,

outstanding on the date hereof and by its terms is convertible into or

exchangeable for stock, shares, partnership or membership interests or other

ownership interests in any Tenant, without Landlord's prior written consent,

which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

dissolved, voluntarily or involuntarily.

8.1.4. AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS AND PAYMENTS. No Tenant shall

enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of any Tenant or

any of the partners, members or shareholders of any Tenant except in the

ordinary course of business and on terms that are fully disclosed to Landlord in

advance and are no less favorable to any Tenant or such Affiliate than would be

obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party.

After the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such Event of Default is

cured, no Tenant shall make any payments or distributions (including, without

limitation, salaries, bonuses, fees, principal, interest, dividends, liquidating

distributions, management fees, cash flow distributions or lease payments) to

any Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Tenant or any Guarantor, or any

shareholder, member, partner or other equity interest holder of any Tenant, any

Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Tenant or any Guarantor. Landlord acknowledges

that Tenants have entered into the Property Management Contracts with Property

Manager, and that transactions between Property Manager and Tenants pursuant to

the Property Management Contracts shall not be deemed a violation of this

becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable

land use law, rule or regulation.

8.1.6. ASSETS; INVESTING. No Tenant shall purchase or own any

property other than property necessary for, or incidental to, the operation of

the applicable Facility(ies) for its/their Primary Intended Use(s). No Tenant

an amount less than either (i) $100,000 or (ii) if terminable without penalty

upon thirty (30) days' notice, $250,000, shall not be considered "material" for

purposes of this SECTION 8.1.7.

8.1.8. NO JOINT ASSESSMENT. No Tenant shall suffer, permit or

initiate the joint assessment of any Leased Property (i) with any other real

property constituting a tax lot separate from such Leased Property, or (ii) with

any portion of such Leased Property that may be deemed to constitute personal

property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes that may be

levied against any such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged

to such Leased Property.

8.1.9. ERISA. No Tenant shall engage in any transaction that

would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the

exercise by Landlord of any of its rights under this Lease) to be a non-exempt

(under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction

under ERISA. Each Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such certifications or other

evidence from time to time throughout the Term, as requested by Landlord in its

sole discretion, that (A) such Tenant is not and does not maintain an "employee

qualifies as an "operating company" or a "real estate operating company" within

the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(c) or (e).

Tenant shall cancel or otherwise forgive or release any material claim or

any Tenant by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary

permit to exist any indebtedness other than (i) trade debt incurred in the

ordinary course of Tenant's business (which shall not include so-called

"accounts receivable" financing). No Tenant shall create, incur, assume, or

permit to exist any guarantee of any loan or other indebtedness except for the

endorsement of negotiable instruments for collection in the ordinary course of

business.

8.1.11.1. Transfer any Authorizations to any location

other than the Facility operated by such Tenant or as otherwise required by the

terms of this Lease nor pledge any Authorizations as collateral security for any

percent (2%) of the number of such Units at any such Facility as of the

Commencement Date) or the type and/or licensed capacity at such Facility (by

more than two percent (2%) of the type and/or licensed capacity at any such

Facility as of the Commencement Date), in each case as the same exist on the

Commencement Date, or apply for approval of any of the foregoing amendments or

changes, without Landlord's prior consent which consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8.1.11.4. Replace or transfer all or any part of any

Facility's Units to another location or apply for approval of any such

replacement or transfer.

8.1.11.5. Enter into any Occupant Agreements with

Occupants, tenants under the Service Agreements or any other Persons that

deviate in any material respect from the standard form customarily used by any

Tenant at the applicable Facility other than in the ordinary course of Tenant's

business, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent is not to be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

8.1.11.6. Assign or transfer any of its interest in any

Authorization or assign, pledge, hypothecate, transfer or remove, or permit any

other Person to assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or remove, any records

pertaining to any Facility, including, without limitation, (except for removal

8.2.1. PERFORM OBLIGATIONS. Tenant shall perform or cause to

be performed, as and when due, all of its obligations under this Lease, the

Other Leases, the Authorizations, any Permitted Encumbrances, any Insurance

Requirements. Prior to the date hereof, Tenant has taken all necessary action to

obtain all Authorizations required for the operation of each of the Facilities

for its Primary Intended Use and shall take all necessary action to maintain

such Authorizations during the Term.

8.2.2. PROCEEDINGS TO ENJOIN OR PREVENT CONSTRUCTION. If any

proceedings are filed seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent or declare invalid

or unlawful Tenant's construction, occupancy, maintenance, or operation of any

Facility or any portion thereof for its Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall cause

such proceedings to be vigorously contested in good faith, and shall, without

limiting the generality of the foregoing, use all reasonable commercial efforts

to bring about a favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings and

any other proceedings.

8.2.3. DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION.

8.2.3.1. FURNISH INFORMATION. Tenant shall (i) promptly

supply Landlord with such information concerning its financial condition,

licensing, affairs and property as Landlord may reasonably request from time to

time hereafter and in the format reasonably designated by Landlord and, without

limitation of the foregoing, promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days,

after a request from Landlord, Tenant shall provide to Landlord such additional

information regarding Tenant, Tenant's financial condition or the Facilities as

Landlord, or any existing or proposed creditor of Landlord or Ventas, Inc.

(including, without limitation, any existing or proposed Facility Mortgagee), or

any auditor or underwriter of Landlord or Ventas, Inc., may reasonably require

from time to time; and (ii) promptly notify Landlord in writing of any condition

or event that constitutes a breach of any term, condition, warranty,

representation, or provision of this Lease, any other document related to this

Lease, any Other Lease, the Guaranty, or any Property Management Contract, and

of any Material Adverse Effect relative to the financial condition of any

Tenant, any Other Tenant, any Guarantor, or any Property Manager. Tenant shall

notify Landlord, in writing and within five (5) Business Days, following receipt

by Tenant of written notice by its insurance carrier, reinsurance provider,

accountants, actuary, or any Governmental Authority, of any actual, pending,

threatened or contemplated increase in its reserves for expenses relating to

malpractice or professional liability claims or any material increase in the

premium costs for malpractice or professional liability insurance (any of the

foregoing, a "RESERVE EVENT").

8.2.4. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Tenant shall, upon request of

Landlord from time to time, execute, deliver, and furnish such documents as may

be reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate fully the transactions

contemplated under this Lease.

8.2.5. MATERIAL COMMUNICATIONS. Tenant shall transmit to

Landlord, within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, any material

written communication affecting one or more Facilities, any Tenant, or any

Property Manager, this Lease, the Legal Requirements, the Insurance

Requirements, the Authorizations, and Tenant shall promptly respond to inquiries

by Landlord with respect to such information. Tenant shall notify Landlord in

writing promptly after any Tenant obtains knowledge of any potential,

20

<PAGE>

threatened or existing litigation or proceeding against, or investigation of,

any Tenant, any Other Tenant, any Property Manager or any Facility that may have

a Material Adverse Effect.

8.2.6. OPERATOR REPORTS. Tenant shall provide Landlord with

accurate and complete copies of any and all of the census information concerning

the number of Units occupied by Occupants, all cost reports, surveys, survey

deficiency reports, monthly financial statements and other reports, materials

and information concerning any Tenant, the Facilities and each Tenant's business

operations and compliance with material laws, ordinances, rules, regulations,

and Authorizations that are submitted by Tenant to any Governmental Authorities

for any of the Facilities (the "OPERATOR REPORTS") promptly, and in any event,

within five (5) Business Days, after the submission thereof to such Governmental

Authorities. All Operator Reports shall be accurate in all material respects as

of the date of such Operator Reports.

8.2.7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Except for those matters

disclosed on SCHEDULE 8.2.7. hereof, Tenant shall at its own cost and expense

comply with all Insurance Requirements and all Legal Requirements (including,

without limitation, any and all zoning requirements) (and Landlord shall have no

responsibility for such compliance with Insurance Requirements and Legal

Requirements), and keep all Authorizations in full force and effect.

8.2.8. PORTFOLIO COVERAGE RATIO. Tenant shall maintain, as of

the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on June

30, 2004, a Portfolio Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00. For periods

prior to the Commencement Date, in order to determine the Portfolio Coverage

Ratio, the actual (not annualized) Cash Flow for the Portfolio for such periods

shall be used and the Fixed Rent for the Portfolio shall be assumed to be the

Fixed Rent for the first Lease Year prorated over the applicable period and

shall not include actual debt service payments for such periods. It shall be an

Event of Default under this Lease if Tenant shall fail to maintain as of the end

of each fiscal quarter a Portfolio Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00,

provided, however, that it shall not be an Event of Default hereunder, if (i)

the Portfolio Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00, and (ii)

within fifteen (15) days following the date on which Tenant was required to

deliver its computation of the Portfolio Coverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter,

Tenant deposits with Landlord cash or a Letter of Credit in an amount that, had

such amount been added to the Cash Flow for such 12-month period, the Portfolio

Coverage Ratio for such period would have been equal to 1.10 to 1.00 (the

"DIFFERENCE"). The Difference will be held by Landlord as an addition to the

Security Deposit and applied, held and returned by Landlord in accordance with

the provisions of SECTION 3.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have

the ability to cure a breach of the Portfolio Coverage Ratio by depositing the

Difference no more than five (5) times during the Term of this Lease.

8.2.9. PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES. Tenant shall, at its own cost,

fully observe, perform and comply with all Permitted Encumbrances as the same

apply to or bind Landlord or any Leased Property and, at Tenant's cost and

expense, Landlord shall reasonably

21

<PAGE>

cooperate (including at Landlord's option, the taking of any action to comply if

Tenant is not legally able to do so in its capacity as Tenant provided that this

shall not limit Tenant's obligations regarding the use or operation of the

Property) with Tenant to the extent Landlord's cooperation is necessary to

enable Tenant to so perform. No Tenant shall cause, or permit its respective

Tenant Parties to cause, whether by act or omission, any breach of, default

under or termination of any Permitted Encumbrance applicable to or binding upon

Landlord or any Leased Property.

8.3. AUTHORIZATION NON-COMPLIANCE. In the event that Tenant shall

receive a written complaint or notice from a Governmental Authority alleging,

asserting or suggesting that Tenant is not in compliance with any Legal

Requirement, license, permit, approval or other Authorization, Tenant shall,

within five (5) Business Days, send notice to Landlord, whereupon Tenant,

subject to its right to contest the same pursuant to SECTION 13, shall remedy

any condition causing such complaint, notice or non-compliance promptly, and in

any case within any cure period allowed therefor by the applicable Governmental

Authority, in the case of such non-compliance.

8.4. NO CHANGE IN PRIMARY INTENDED USE OR OTHER CHANGES WITHOUT

LANDLORD CONSENT. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent,

change the Primary Intended Use for any Facility or make any other change at any

Facility or enter into any agreement that would make any Facility or Tenant a

party to, or subject to (i) Medicare, Medicaid or any other Third Party Payor

Program, (ii) any Provider Agreement or Facility Provider Agreement, (iii)

require any Facility, Tenant or any Property Manager to maintain professional

liability insurance, or (iv) require a CON to operate any Facility. If Landlord

gives its consent to any such changes, Tenant agrees that it shall enter into an

amendment to this Lease in form and substance acceptable to Landlord, which

amendment shall contain, without limitation, all representations, warranties and

covenants required by Landlord in connection with any such change.

8.5. PROPERTY MANAGER.

8.5.1. MANAGEMENT OF LEASED PROPERTY. Tenant shall cause the

Property Manager to manage the Leased Properties in accordance with the terms of

SECTION 7.2.1 hereof. Tenant shall not remove or replace the Property Manager

(which, with respect to a Property Manager which is an Affiliate of Guarantor,

shall be deemed to occur upon a change of control of the Property Manager) or

modify or waive any material terms of the Property Management Contract except in

accordance with SECTION 24.2. Upon replacement of the Property Manager, Tenant

shall, and shall cause the new manager of the Property to, execute a Manager's

Consent and Subordination of Property Management Contract in form and substance

reasonably acceptable to Landlord and such substitute Property Manager. Any fee

relating to the management or operation of the Premises is and shall at all

times remain subordinate to the payments of Rent.

22

<PAGE>

8.5.2. Termination of Property Manager. In the event the Lease is

terminated for any reason, the Property Management Contract shall automatically

be terminated.

9. MAINTENANCE OF FACILITIES.

9.1. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

9.1.1. FACILITY REPAIR. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall

keep each Leased Property (and Tenant's Personal Property) in good and safe

order and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and damage by Casualty and

Condemnation (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of

Tenant's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of such Leased Property,

Tenant's Personal Property, or any portion thereof). Without limitation of the

foregoing, Tenant shall promptly make all necessary and appropriate repairs and

replacements (capital and otherwise) to each Facility, of every kind and nature,

whether interior or exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or

extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by reason of a condition

existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed or otherwise),

including, but not limited to, any roof repairs or replacements or parking lot

repairs or replacements, such that each Leased Property is maintained in good

repair, appearance and condition, for use for its Primary Intended Use, except

for ordinary wear and tear and damage by Casualty or Condemnation. Tenant shall

have in place service and maintenance contracts with duly licensed contractors

or repair services providing for regular maintenance and repair of any and all

major systems serving each Leased Property, including, but not limited to, the

HVAC systems, life safety systems, plumbing systems and elevator and conveyor

systems. Landlord may from time to time as to any one or more Leased Properties,

and at Tenant's sole expense (but, provided no Event of Default exists, no more

than once every three (3) years at Tenant's expense), cause an engineer

designated by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, to inspect one or more

Leased Properties and issue a report (a "LEASED PROPERTY CONDITION REPORT") with

respect to the condition of any such Leased Properties. Tenant shall, at its own

expense, make any and all repairs or replacements recommended by such Leased

Property Condition Report, to the extent required to maintain the applicable

Leased Property in as good repair and appearance as at the date of this Lease,

except for ordinary wear and tear and damage by Casualty or Condemnation. All

repairs shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with

all Legal Requirements relating to such work. Landlord shall not under any

circumstances be required to repair, replace, build or rebuild any improvements

on any Leased Property, or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations,

restorations or renewals of any nature or description to any Leased Property,

whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or non-structural, foreseen or

unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, or to

maintain any Leased Property in any way. Tenant hereby waives, to the extent

permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord pursuant

to any law currently in effect or hereafter enacted.

9.1.2. NOTICE OF NON-RESPONSIBILITY. Except as expressly set

forth in this Lease, nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction

by Landlord shall be construed as: (i) constituting the consent or request of

Landlord, express or implied, to any

23

<PAGE>

contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to, or for the

performance of, any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or

other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition

of or to any Leased Property or any part thereof; or (ii) giving Tenant any

right, power or permission to contract for or permit the performance of any

labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such

fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Landlord in respect

thereof or to make any agreement that might create, or in any way be the basis

for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the

estate of Landlord in any Leased Property, or any portion thereof. Landlord may

post, at Tenant's sole cost, such notices of non-responsibility upon, or of

record against, any Leased Property to prevent the lien of any contractor,

subcontractor, laborer, materialmen or vendor providing work, services or

supplies to Tenant from attaching against the Premises to the extent permitted

by law. Tenant agrees to promptly execute and record any such notice of

non-responsibility at Tenant's sole cost.

9.1.3. VACATION AND SURRENDER. Tenant shall, upon the

expiration or sooner termination of the Term as to any Leased Property, vacate

and surrender the applicable Leased Property to Landlord in the condition

consistent with the requirements of SECTION 9.1.1, except as repaired, rebuilt,

restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this

Lease and except for normal wear and tear and damage from Casualty or

Condemnation. Any Leased Property (other than Landlord's Personal Property)

shall be returned to Landlord in a broom clean condition, free and clear of

Tenant's Personal Property (subject to the terms of SECTION 21.1.1 and except

for Tenant's Personal Property that Landlord elects to acquire pursuant to

SECTION 35 hereof) but including any and all Alterations, which shall be and

remain the property of Landlord as part of such Leased Property (except for

Alterations that Landlord requests, in writing, that Tenant remove, which

Alterations shall be promptly and completely removed by Tenant). Tenant shall

repair, at Tenant's sole cost, any damage to a Leased Property resulting from

Tenant's vacation from or surrender of such Leased Property and/or the removal

of any Alterations or Tenant's Personal Property therefrom, whether effected by

Tenant or Landlord.

9.2. ENCROACHMENTS. If any of the Leased Improvements on any Leased

Property shall, at any time, encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way

adjacent to such Leased Property and such encroachment is caused or permitted to

occur by Tenant, then, promptly upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall, at

its expense, subject to its right to contest the existence of any encroachment

and, in such case, in the event of any adverse final determination, either (i)

obtain valid waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages

resulting from each such encroachment, whether the same shall affect Landlord or

Tenant, or (ii) make such changes in the Leased Improvements, and take such

other actions, as Tenant, in the good faith exercise of its judgment deems

reasonably practicable, to remove such encroachment, including, if necessary,

the alteration of any of the Leased Improvements, and in any event take all such

actions as may be necessary in order to be able to continue the operation of the

Leased Improvements for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and

to the extent the Leased Improvements were operated prior to the assertion of

such encroachment. Any such alteration shall be made in conformity with the

applicable requirements of SECTION 11. Tenant's

24

obligations under this SECTION 9.2 shall be in addition to and shall in no way

discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or

other insurance.

following representations and warranties, as of the date hereof, to Landlord and

acknowledges that Landlord is granting the Lease in reliance upon such

representations and warranties. Tenant's representations and warranties shall

survive the expiration or termination of this Lease and, except to the extent

binding obligation of each Tenant enforceable in accordance with its terms

Lease (i) do not and will not conflict with, and do not and will not result in a

representatives, officers, directors, members, contractors, subcontractors,

termination, probation, restriction, investigation, limitation or non-renewal

affecting any Tenant or any Facility with regard to the applicable

Authorizations to which any Tenant or Facility presently is subject.

25

10.8. CERTIFICATION. Each Tenant has obtained any and all

Authorizations necessary or advisable to operate its Facility(ies) for its

Primary Intended Use and to be, and to continue to be, validly licensed to

Intended Use; and (iv) are not provisional, probationary or restricted in any

way.

10.13. NO LITIGATION. No action, suit or proceeding, or

investigation, judicial, administrative or otherwise (including, without

limitation, any reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding)

or other employee of Tenant or Property Manager with respect to any Facility,

Tenant agrees that it shall promptly take all necessary actions to ensure that

it is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and Tenant agrees that it shall

enter into an amendment to this Lease in form and substance reasonably

acceptable to Landlord, which amendment shall contain, without limitation, all

representations, warranties and covenants required by Landlord in connection

with any such compliance.

11. ALTERATIONS.

11.1. ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not (x) make any Capital Alterations

on or to any Leased Property, (y) enlarge or reduce the size of any Facility

and/or (z) make any Capital Alterations or other Alterations that would tie in

or connect with any improvements on property adjacent to the Land, without

Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Tenant may, without Landlord's consent, make any alterations, additions, or

improvements (collectively, with the alterations described in items (x), (y) and

(z) of the preceding sentence, "ALTERATIONS") to any Leased Property if such

Alterations are not of the type described in clause (x), (y) or (z) above, so

long as in each case: (i) the same do not (A) decrease the value of the Leased

Property, (B) affect the exterior appearance of the Leased Property other than

purely cosmetic changes, or (C) affect the structural components of the Leased

Property or the main electrical, mechanical, plumbing, elevator or ventilating

and air conditioning systems for any Facility, (ii) the same are consistent in

terms of style, quality and workmanship to the original Leased Property and

Fixtures, (iii) the same are constructed and performed in accordance with the

provisions of SECTION 11.2 below and (iv) the cost thereof does not exceed, in

the aggregate $250,000, for any consecutive twelve (12) month period with

respect to any single Facility. Except for those limited Alterations that

expressly do not require Landlord's consent pursuant to the preceding sentence,

all Alterations shall be subject to Landlord's prior written consent, which

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. To the extent Landlord's prior

written consent shall be required in connection with any Alterations, Landlord

may impose such reasonable conditions thereon in connection with its approval

thereof as Landlord deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord

agrees that painting, landscaping, and replacement of floor, wall and window

coverings shall be deemed Alterations that do not require Landlord's consent,

regardless of the cost thereof, so long as the same meet the requirements of

clauses (ii) and (iii) above.

11.2. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL ALTERATIONS. Whether or not

Landlord's consent is required, for all Alterations of any Leased Property, the

following shall apply and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other

requirements that Landlord may impose on Tenant in connection with the making of

any Alterations:

11.2.1. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. Prior to commencing any

Alterations, Tenant shall have submitted to Landlord a written proposal

describing in reasonable

27

<PAGE>

detail such proposed Alteration and shall provide to Landlord for Landlord's

reasonable approval such plans and specifications, permits, licenses,

construction budgets and other information (collectively, the "PLANS AND

SPECIFICATIONS") as Landlord shall request, showing in reasonable detail the

scope and nature of the proposed Alteration provided, however, that if Landlord

has not responded to Tenant's written request within thirty (30) days of the

receipt by Landlord of the Plans and Specifications, Landlord's approval shall

be deemed to have been given.

11.2.2. PERMITS. Such construction shall not commence until

Tenant shall have procured and paid for all municipal and other governmental

permits and authorizations required therefor (as well as any permits or

approvals required in connection with any Permitted Encumbrance), and Landlord

shall join in the application for such permits or authorizations whenever such

action is necessary; provided, however, that (i) any such joinder shall be at no

liability, cost or expense to Landlord; and (ii) any Plans and Specifications

required to be filed in connection with any such application that require the

approval of Landlord shall have been so approved by Landlord.

11.2.3. NO IMPAIRMENT. Such construction shall not, and prior

to commencement of such construction Tenant's licensed architect or engineer

shall certify to Landlord that such construction shall not, impair the

structural integrity of any component of the applicable Facility or overburden

or impair the operating efficiency of the electrical, water, plumbing, HVAC or

other building systems of any such Facility .

11.2.4. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION. Prior to commencing any

Alterations, Tenant's licensed architect or engineer shall certify to Landlord

that the Plans and Specifications conform to and comply with all Insurance

Requirements and all applicable building, subdivision and zoning codes, laws,

ordinances, regulations and other Legal Requirements.

11.2.5. PARKING. During and following completion of such

construction, the parking that is located on the Land adjoining the applicable

Facility shall remain adequate for the operation of such Facility for its

Primary Intended Use and in no event shall such parking be less than is required

by any applicable Legal Requirements or was located on the Land adjoining such

Facility prior to such construction.

11.2.6. MATERIALS; QUALITY. All work done in connection with

such construction shall be done promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner

using materials of good quality and in conformity with all Legal Requirements.

11.2.7. AS-BUILTS. Promptly following the completion of the

construction of any Capital Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i)

"as built" drawings of any Capital Alterations included therein, certified as

accurate by the licensed architect or engineer selected by Tenant to supervise

such work; and (ii) a certificate from Tenant's licensed architect or engineer

certifying to Landlord that such Capital Alterations have been completed in

compliance with the Plans and Specifications and all applicable Legal

Requirements.

28

<PAGE>

11.2.8. CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. If, by reason of the

construction of any Alteration, a new or revised certificate of occupancy for

any component of the applicable Facility is required, Tenant shall obtain such

certificate in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and furnish a

copy of the same to Landlord promptly upon receipt thereof.

11.2.9. LIEN WAIVERS. Upon completion of any Alteration,

Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord final lien waivers from each and every

general contractor and subcontractor that provided goods or services in

connection with such Alteration indicating that such contractor or subcontractor

has been paid in full for such goods or services, together with such other

evidence as Landlord may reasonably require to satisfy Landlord that no liens

have been created in connection with such Alteration.

11.3. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES ACCOUNTS.

11.3.1. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENT. Tenant agrees that it

shall spend annually an amount for each Leased Property equal to the product of

(x) $350 (the "PER UNIT ALLOCATION"); and (y) the aggregate number of Units in

such Leased Property, on Permitted Repairs (as hereafter defined)(the "ANNUAL

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE SPENDING REQUIREMENT"). Commencing on the first day of the

second (2nd) Lease Year of the Initial Term, and on the first day of each Lease

Year thereafter during the Term, the Per Unit Allocation for such Lease Year

shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Per Unit Allocation in effect for

the prior Lease Year, plus (ii) the product of (a) the Per Unit Allocation in

effect for the prior Lease Year, and (b) the greater of (x) one and one-half

percent (1.5%) or (y) seventy five percent (75%) of the actual CPI Increase,

expressed as a percentage, for such Lease Year for which such calculation is

being performed. In the event that Landlord determines that either (a) Tenant's

Annual Capital Expenditure Budget does not allocate sufficient funds to fully

satisfy the Annual Capital Expenditure Spending Requirement, or (b) Tenant has

failed to fully satisfy the Annual Capital Expenditure Spending Requirement ,

then Landlord shall have the right to reserve sufficient funds to satisfy

Tenant's Annual Capital Expenditure Spending Requirement as follows: Commencing

on the first (1st) day of the first full month following Landlord's

determination in the previous sentence, and on the first (1st) day of each month

to occur thereafter during the Term, Tenant shall deposit (the "CAPITAL

EXPENDITURE DEPOSITS") in an interest-bearing account entitled "capital

expenditure account" (the "CAPITAL EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT") under the sole dominion

and control of Landlord (or any Facility Mortgagee) an amount for each Leased

Property equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the difference between the Annual

Capital Expenditure Spending Requirement and the actual amount budgeted and/or

spent, as applicable, by Tenant in the applicable year. The Capital Expenditure

Account shall be maintained with a Lending Institution reasonably satisfactory

to Landlord or with any Facility Mortgagee. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a

first priority security interest in the Capital Expenditure Account pursuant to

the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC") of the State whose laws govern the

perfection of such security interest, and the provisions of SECTION 21.1.1.1

below shall be applicable to such security interest. The Capital Expenditure

Spending Requirement shall only be satisfied by spending money on, and/or the

Capital Expenditure Account shall only be used for, Permitted Repairs.

"PERMITTED REPAIRS" shall mean repairs,

29

<PAGE>

replacements and capital and non-capital improvements to be made with respect to

any Leased Property from time to time (including, without limitation, cosmetic

repairs to the Leased Properties and repairs and replacements made with respect

to any of Landlord's Personal Property), but in no event shall the Permitted

Repairs includes repairs or additions to, or replacement of, any of Tenant's

Personal Property. All such Permitted Repairs shall be deemed to be a part of

the Premises and shall be performed subject to the terms of SECTIONS 11.1 and

11.2 hereof. On the express condition that no Event of Default then exists

hereunder, Tenant may request, by written notice to Landlord (but not more than

once per month), that Landlord disburse monies deposited in the Capital

Expenditures Account for the purpose of making Permitted Repairs on any Leased

Property and Landlord shall disburse monies on account of such Permitted Repairs

promptly after the presentation of invoices therefor provided that: (i) such

Permitted Repairs have been completed in a good, workmanlike and lien-free

fashion and in compliance with all Legal Requirements and the terms of SECTION

11.2 applicable to any Alterations; and (ii) Tenant has paid for any Capital

Expenditure Difference. If Tenant's capital expenditures at the Premises in any

Lease Year shall exceed the Capital Expenditure Deposits for such Lease Year

(such excess, the "CAPITAL EXPENDITURE DIFFERENCE"), Tenant shall pay the amount

of such Capital Expenditure Difference towards the cost of such repairs,

replacements and capital expenditures, before seeking funds from the Capital

Expenditure Account. Any interest that accrues on the funds in the Capital

Expenditure Account shall at all times remain in the Capital Expenditure

Account. At the expiration of the Term, any funds remaining in the Capital

Expenditure Account shall become the property of Landlord.

11.3.2. ANNUAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURE BUDGET. Within ninety (90)

days prior to the commencement of each calendar year, Tenant shall deliver to

Landlord, at Tenant's expense, a budget (the "ANNUAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

BUDGET") setting forth Tenant's reasonable estimate of the repairs, replacements

and capital improvements to the Premises that Tenant anticipates will be

necessary in such calendar year to comply with the maintenance, repair and

replacement obligations contained in SECTION 9 hereof and maintain the Leased

Properties in the condition required under SECTION 9. The Annual Capital

Expenditure Budget shall be subject to Landlord's approval (which approval shall

not be unreasonably withheld) for purposes of determining and confirming that

the repairs, replacements and capital improvements are sufficient to satisfy

Tenant's obligations pursuant to SECTION 9 hereof; provided, however, that the

grant by Landlord of its approval to any Annual Capital Expenditure Budget shall

not be deemed a consent, acknowledgement or agreement on Landlord's part that

such repairs, replacements or capital improvements are sufficient to satisfy

Tenant's obligations pursuant to SECTION 9 hereunder.

12. LIENS. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 13 below governing a

permitted contest by Tenant, Tenant will not, directly or indirectly, create or

allow to remain, and will promptly discharge at its expense, any lien,

encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon any Leased

Property or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent,

not including, however, (a) liens for those taxes of Landlord that Tenant is not

required to pay hereunder, (b) liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from

noncompliance with Legal Requirements, so long as (1) the same are not yet

payable or (2) such liens are in the process of

30

<PAGE>

being contested as permitted by SECTION 13, (c) liens of mechanics, laborers,

materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums either disputed in good faith or not

yet due, provided that (1) such lien and such reserve or other appropriate

provisions as shall be required by law or generally accepted accounting

principles shall have been made therefor and (2) any such liens are in the

process of being contested as permitted by SECTION 13, and (d) any liens that

are expressly the responsibility of Landlord hereunder. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, Tenant shall bond over any lien affecting the applicable Leased

Property if Landlord shall request or if any applicable Facility Mortgagee shall

so require.

13. PERMITTED CONTESTS. Tenant, on its own or on Landlord's behalf (or in

Landlord's name), but at Tenant'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 Imposition or any lien,

attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim not otherwise permitted by

SECTION 12, provided that (a) in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien,

attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge, or claim, the commencement and

continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from

Landlord and from the applicable Leased Property, (b) neither the applicable

Leased Property nor any Fixed Rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest

therein would be reasonably likely to be in danger of being sold, forfeited,

attached or lost, (c) Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and the

Landlord Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses incurred by Landlord or

the Landlord Indemnified Parties in connection with any such contest or as a

result thereof, (d) Tenant shall give such security as may be reasonably

required by Landlord to insure ultimate payment of, or compliance with, the same

and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the affected Leased Property or the

Rent by reason of such non-payment or non-compliance; provided, however, the

provisions of this SECTION 13 shall not be construed to permit Tenant to contest

the payment of Fixed Rent or any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord

hereunder, (e) in the case of the contest of an Insurance Requirement, the

coverage required by SECTION 14 shall be maintained, and (f) if such contest is

resolved against Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent due

hereunder, pay to the appropriate payee the amount required to be paid, together

with all interest and penalties accrued thereon, within twenty (20) days after

such determination (or within such shorter period as may be required by the

terms of such determination), and comply, within any cure period allowed

therefor by the applicable agency or authority (or if no such cure period shall

be allowed or specified by the applicable agency or authority, promptly and

diligently following the effective date of such determination); provided,

however, that this clause (f) is not intended, and shall not be construed, to

afford Tenant any cure or grace period beyond the effective date of any final

unappealable determination. Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall execute and

deliver to Tenant such authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be

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

Landlord so desires, shall join as a party therein. The terms of this SECTION 13

shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

14. INSURANCE.

31

limitation, riot, civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, burglary and

theft on the Leased Improvements and of the Tenant's Personal Property at each

Leased Property, (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the

Full Replacement Cost, as determined by Landlord from time to time, of such

Leased Property without reduction for physical depreciation provided, however,

that if a change in any zoning law increases the Replacement Cost of any

facility by $5,000,000 or more, Tenant is not required to maintain insurance for

the amount above the $5,000,000 or more increase; (B) containing a "Replacement

Cost" endorsement; (C) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to

the Leased Improvements and Tenant's Personal Property at the Leased Properties

waiving all co-insurance provisions; (D) providing for no deductible in excess

coverage (with the exception of flood, wind, earthquake, and any other

catastrophic-related coverages that are not customarily included in standard

property insurance policies); and (E) containing (a) "Ordinance or Law Coverage"

(if any of the Leased Improvements or the use of any Leased Property shall at

any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses which

non-conformance shall be presumed unless and until Tenant proves to Landlord's

reasonable satisfaction, that such uses are conforming) "Operation of Building

Laws," or "Enforcement" endorsement and (b) "demolition" insurance (in an amount

of at least $5,000,000 and (c) "increased cost of construction" endorsement

area" (i.e. Zones A and V), flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the

lesser of (1) the Full Replacement Cost of such portion of such Leased

Improvements together with business interruption coverage or (2) the maximum

amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of

1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance

Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) if the Leased Property is in

a high probability earthquake area (i.e. Zone 1 and 2), and a Probable Maximum

Loss ("PML") study reveals that the PML is greater than 10% of the replacement

cost (as determined by Landlord), then earthquake insurance must be maintained

in an amount equal to the PML percentage of the replacement cost with a

deductible not to exceed 5% of the values at risk, earthquake insurance in

amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in the event that any

Leased Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity

(i.e. Zone 1 or Zone 2), provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and

(z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk

insurance policy required under this SECTION 14.1.1. With respect to flood

hazard insurance, Tenant must provide evidence that the Leased Property not

covered by flood insurance is not located in an area designated by the Federal

Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood

32

<PAGE>

hazards (i.e. Zone A and V). Tenant must promptly notify Landlord if Tenant has

knowledge that any Leased Property is in a flood zone.

14.1.2. Commercial general liability insurance against claims

Dollars ($5,000,000.00) general aggregate; (B) to continue at not less than the

aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Landlord by reason of changed

economic conditions making such protection inadequate; (C) to cover at least the

following: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on

an "if any" basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual

liability for all legal contracts; (5) contractual liability covering

indemnities, if any, given by Tenant contained in the Facility Mortgage, if any,

Landlord's prior written consent.

14.1.3. Business interruption insurance and/or loss of rental

income insurance (A) with loss payable to Landlord (provided that, so long as no

Event of Default has occurred and Landlord determines in its reasonable

discretion that the proceeds generated from the remaining term of such insurance

will be sufficient to carry the applicable Leased Property through

reconstruction and stabilization, Landlord shall return to Tenant any amounts of

such business interruption insurance proceeds in excess of rent allocable to the

Leased Property for which such proceeds are applicable for the applicable

period); (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided

for in SECTION 14.1.1 above and SECTION 14.1.11 below; (C) in an amount

sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty and to provide proceeds that will

cover a period of not less than eighteen (18) months from the date of casualty

or loss; (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement that

provides that after the physical loss to the applicable Leased Property has been

repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income returns

to the same level it was prior to the loss, or the expiration twelve (12) months

from the date of the repair, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that

the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of business

interruption coverage shall be an annual aggregate amount equal to the projected

gross revenue from the Leased Properties (less non-recurring expenses), assuming

the aggregate occupancy at the Facilities equals ninety-five percent (95%). The

amount of business interruption coverage shall be adjusted annually by

33

<PAGE>

Landlord to reflect the projected gross revenue during the succeeding eighteen

(18) month period. The perils covered by this insurance shall be the same as

those required to be covered on the Leased Property, including flood, terrorism

and earthquake, if necessary.

14.1.4. At all times during which Alterations or structural

construction or repairs are being made with respect to any of the Leased

liability insurance with a limit of at least One Hundred Thousand and No/100

Dollars ($100,000.00) per accident and per disease, per employee, and Five

Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) aggregate in respect of any

exclusion for explosion) covering all boilers or other pressure vessels,

machinery, and equipment located in, on or about any Leased Property (including

"system breakdown coverage") in an amount equal to or greater than the repair

occupancy or use arising from any breakdown of such equipment on a so-called

"accident basis" and in such amounts as are generally required by institutional

lenders for properties comparable to the Leased Properties.

coverage under SECTION 14.1.2 in an amount not less than Twenty Million and

No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000) per occurrence for motor vehicle liability and

<PAGE>

14.1.11. If the insurance required under SECTION 14.1.1 above

excludes coverage for acts of terrorism, Tenant shall provide terrorism

insurance coverage in an amount equal to Full Replacement Cost of the Leased

Properties unless such terrorism insurance coverage is (i) waived by Landlord,

(ii) unable to be procured from any carrier of such insurance, or (iii) not

available at commercially reasonable rates and not being carried by owners or

operators of similarly situated properties.

14.1.12. Such other reasonable insurance and in such

reasonable amounts as Landlord, from time to time may reasonably request against

such other insurable hazards or casualties that at the time are commonly insured

against for property similar to the Leased Properties located in or around the

region in which the Leased Properties are located including, without limitation,

wind, sinkhole, mine subsidence and environmental insurance, due regard being

given to the height and type of the applicable Leased Property, construction,

location, use and occupancy.

14.1.13. In the event that any insurance in amounts, covering

risks and/or with deductibles required under SECTION 14.1.2 AND SECTION 14.1.12

is not available at commercially reasonable rates in the insurance market for

properties similar to the Leased Properties and is not maintained by owners or

operators of similarly situated properties, Tenant may maintain insurance under

SECTION 14.1.2 AND SECTION 14.1.12 in amounts, covering such risks and subject

to deductibles reasonably acceptable to Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee.

14.2. POLICIES; CERTIFICATES. All insurance provided for in SECTION

14.1 above shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the

"POLICIES") and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the

approval of Landlord as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Not less than

ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore

furnished to Landlord, Accord 25S certificates for all liability insurance

policies and Accord 28 certificates for all property insurance policies

evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Landlord of

payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS"), shall be

delivered by Tenant to Landlord. The Cancellation Clause disclaimer (...

endeavor to ... but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or

liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representatives) must be

deleted from the Accord 25S. Tenant shall deliver original Policies to Landlord

within ninety (90) days of the date hereof and thereafter upon request. All

Policies must have a term of not less than one (1) year. All Insurance Premiums

on all policies may not be financed, but, rather, must be paid annually in

advance unless otherwise approved by Landlord. In the event insurance

certificates are issued which do not meet all of the requirements set forth

above, but are otherwise in a form satisfactory to Landlord, then the Tenant's

insurance agent will be required to execute the previously provided Certificate

of Insurance Agent certifying that policies have been issued and are in full

force and effect which satisfy all of Landlord's requirements (including 30 days

notice to Landlord prior to cancellation) notwithstanding that such requirements

could not be evidenced on the insurance certificates.

35

<PAGE>

14.3. BLANKET POLICIES. Any blanket Policy shall specifically

allocate to each Leased Property the amount of coverage from time to time

required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a

separate Policy insuring only such Leased Property in compliance with the

provisions of SECTION 14.1. Landlord reserves the right to review from time to

time the claims history and reserves held with respect to any such blanket

Policy.

14.4. ADDITIONAL INSURED. All Policies provided for or contemplated

by SECTION 14.1 above, except for the Policy referenced in SECTION 14.1.5, shall

name each applicable Tenant as the insured and Landlord and any Facility

Mortgagee and its/their successors and/or assigns as the additional insureds, as

its/their interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, business

interruption, terrorism, if any, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake

insurance, each shall name Landlord as loss-payee and contain a so-called New

York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of any Facility

Mortgagee, as applicable, providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to

Landlord or such Facility Mortgagee, as applicable.

14.5. POLICY REQUIREMENTS. All Policies of insurance provided for in

SECTION 14.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Party, or failure

to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result

in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way

affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Landlord

or any Facility Mortgagee is concerned;

(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to

increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least

thirty (30) days' written notice to Landlord, any Facility Mortgagee and

any other party named therein as an additional insured;

(iii) neither Landlord nor any Facility Mortgagee shall be liable

for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments

thereunder; and

(iv) to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, a

waiver of subrogation rights as to Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee.

(v) The "all risk" property insurance, Boiler and Machinery

Insurance, Flood Insurance, if any, and Builder's Risk Insurance Policies

shall also contain: (i) a standard "non-contributory mortgagee"

endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by

Landlord notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omission of

Tenant, and (ii) an endorsement providing for deductibles per loss of an

amount not more than that which its customarily maintained by prudent

owners of similar properties in the general vicinity of the Property, but

in no event in excess of $100,000 (with the exception of flood, wind,

earthquake, and any other catastrophic-related coverages that are not

customarily included in standard property insurance policies).
