or portions of the Property or of interests in
Landlord for a period greater than five (5) years.
2.4 Cross Payment Duties. So long as the Real Estate Loan,
Operating Loan
and/or A/R Financing are cross collateralized, Tenant shall have
an obligation
and duty to Landlord to pay when due all sums coming due under
the Operating
Loan and A/R Financing and to otherwise fully comply with all
terms and
conditions of the Operating Loan and A/R Financing and Landlord
shall have an
obligation and duty to Tenant to pay when due all sums coming
due under the Real
Estate Loan and to otherwise fully comply with all terms and
conditions of the
Real Estate Loan.
2.5 Information and Notices. Tenant shall provide copies to
Landlord of
all notices, reports, information and communications received
from or provided
to any lender.
2.6 Time Limit on Cross Collateralization. Five (5) years after
the
Commencement Date, Landlord shall have the right to terminate
the cross
collateralization of Operating Loan and A/R Financing with the
Real Estate Loan
and to refinance the Real Estate Loan as provided in Section
2.13.
2.8 Base Rent Definitions. The following definitions shall apply
to the
determination of Base Rent:
(a) Principal Sum. The "Principal Sum" is Fifty Million
Dollars ($50,000,000).
(b) Cost of Landlord's Principal Sum. The "Cost of
Landlord's Principal Sum" is the average annual
interest rate charged on loan secured by the first
lien Deed of Trust (or Mortgage) on the Property for
the preceding month, as the same may vary from time
to time.
4
<PAGE>
(c) Landlord's Spread. The "Landlord's Spread" for the
first one (1) year of the lease term is the
difference between Twelve percent (12%) per annum and
the annual interest rate (which may vary monthly) of
the Real Estate Loan but in no event more than Two
and One-Half percent (2 1/2 %) per annum, thereafter
"Landlord's Spread" is Two and One-Half percent (2
1/2%) over the Cost of Landlord's Principal Sum.
(d) Amortization Expense. Commencing on the earlier of
(i) the refinancing contemplated by Section 2.3
hereof or (ii) two (2) years following the
Commencement Date, the "Amortization Expense" shall
be the annual sum of Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) until such time as a
total Amortization Expense of Fifty Million Dollars
($50,000,000) has been paid.
(e) Consumer Price Index. "Consumer Price Index" or "CPI"
shall refer to the "Consumer Price Index, Los
Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Average, All Items
(1982-1984=100)" as published by the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
("Bureau"). In the event that the Bureau shall cease
to publish said Consumer Price Index, then the
national index shall apply and if the national index
is no longer published, then the successor or most
nearly comparable index thereto shall be used as
determined by Landlord.
2.9 Hospital Properties Base Rent Calculation. The monthly
Hospital
Properties Base Rent shall equal the Principal Sum multiplied by
the sum of the
Cost of the Landlord's Principal Sum plus the Landlord's Spread
the product of
which shall be added to the Landlord's Amortization Expense,
then divided by
twelve (12). Set forth as a formula this calculation is as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
Monthly Base Rent =
[Principal Sum x (Cost of Landlord's Principal Sum +Landlord's
Spread)] + Amortization Expense
12
</TABLE>
2.10 Hospital Properties Base Rent Market Adjustment. On each
five (5)
year anniversary of the Commencement Date the Hospital Base Rent
shall be
increased (but not decreased) to an amount equal to the then
current fair market
rental rate, but in no event increased by more than Five percent
(5%) over the
preceding month's Hospital Base Rent (provided however that such
time as the
Amortization Payment is no longer being made the Five percent
(5%) limitation
shall cease to apply). Commencing not less than ninety (90) days
prior to each
fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, Landlord and
Tenant shall
attempt to agree on the fair market rental rate for the Hospital
Properties. If
5
<PAGE>
Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree to the fair market
rental rate within
thirty (30) days, Landlord and Tenant shall each choose an
independent, licensed
real estate broker, with not less than five (5) years experience
in leasing
healthcare related facilities including hospitals. The two real
estate brokers
so appointed shall appoint a third real estate broker, similarly
qualified. Each
broker shall independently determine the fair market rental
rate. The three
rates so determined will be averaged. The rate determined by the
brokers which
varies the most from the average shall be discarded and the two
remaining values
and the average value shall be averaged and said second average
shall constitute
the fair market rental rate. Each party shall bear the costs of
the real estate
broker appointed by that party and the parties shall equally
divide the costs of
the third real estate broker. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section
2.10, if at any time the monthly Hospital Base Rent determined
in accordance
with Section 2.9 hereof would exceed the monthly Hospital Base
Rent determined
in accordance with this Section 2.10, then this Section 2.10
shall be discarded
and the monthly Hospital Base Rent shall be determined in
accordance with
Section 2.9.
2.11 MOB Properties Base Rent Calculation. The monthly MOB
Properties Base
Rent shall equal the rent received from tenants of the MOB
Properties, less the
actual monthly costs to operate said MOB Properties, and also
less a monthly
charge for insurance and real property taxes equal to
one-twelfth (12th) the
estimated annual cost thereof. In the event the estimated
monthly charge for
insurance and real property taxes is in error at the end of the
lease term, then
Landlord and Tenant shall make an appropriate adjustment so that
the sum
deducted in order to calculate the MOB Properties Base Rent is
correct.
2.12 Invoicing for Base Rent. Landlord shall invoice Tenant for
the
monthly Base Rent due. Base Rent shall be due on or before tenth
(10th) day of
the month. Any partial month shall be prorated on a daily basis
at the rate of
1/30th of the monthly rent per day.
2.13 Landlord's Rights Regarding Financing. Upon termination of
the cross
collateralization obligations as set forth above, Landlord shall
have the right
in Landlord's commercially reasonable discretion to from time to
time alter,
replace or revise the loan secured by the first lien Deed of
Trust (or Mortgage)
on the Property and thereby change the Cost of Landlord's
Principal Sum, but
such refinancing shall not increase Tenant's then prevailing
rent over that of
the then prevailing fair market value rental rent for the
Property. Any dispute
under this provision shall be referred to binding arbitration
under the
provisions of Section 20.22. Tenant shall cooperate in all
respects with
executing such documents as may be requested by Landlord's
lender.
2.14 Hedging. Either Landlord or Tenant may at their individual
options
elect to hedge interest rate exposure; however, such hedging
shall be undertaken
at the sole risk of the party so electing to hedge. Hedging by
Tenant shall in
no way restrict Landlord's right to alter, replace or revise the
loan secured by
the first lien Deed of Trust (or Mortgage) on the Property.
6
<PAGE>
2.15 CPI Adjustment. On January 1st (or as soon thereafter as
available)
of each year, the Consumer Price Index figure for the preceding
year shall be
determined, and the portion of the Base Rent attributable to the
Landlord's
Spread shall be increased (but not decreased) by the same
percentage as the
percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index for the
January of the
preceding year shall have increased as compared with the
Consumer Price Index
for the January of the current year. Landlord shall provide
written notice of
the CPI adjustment to Tenant. In the event that the adjustment
has not been
determined in time for any invoicing sent, then upon
determination of the
adjustment, Landlord shall send out adjustment invoices.
2.16 Other Charges. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, this
Lease is what is commonly called a net-net-net lease, it being
understood that
Landlord shall receive the Base Rent free and clear of any and
all impositions
of real and personal Property taxes, or other taxes (excepting
Landlord's income
tax), insurance costs, costs of repair and maintenance, liens
and all other
charges, costs, expenses and liabilities in connection with the
ownership and
operation of the Property and the businesses conducted
thereon.
2.17 Delinquent Rent. Tenant acknowledges that late payment of
Base Rent
or any additional rent by Tenant to Landlord will cause Landlord
to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, and the exact amount of such
costs being
extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Therefore, if any
installment of
Base Rent or any additional rent is not received within ten (10)
days of when
due, Tenant shall pay Landlord the additional sum of Five
Thousand Dollars
($5,000) per late payment] as a late charge. The parties agree
that this late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs
that Landlord will
incur by reason of late payments. Additionally, any payments of
Base Rent and
any other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this
Lease shall bear
interest at the maximum legal rate.
2.18 Minimum Base Rent. Notwithstanding anything elsewhere
provided, at
all times the minimum monthly Base Rent shall be equal to
Landlord's payment
obligations under the Real Estate Loan.
2.19 MOB Rent Deferral. In the event Tenant is financially
unable to pay
the monthly MOB Properties Base Rent as provided in Section 2.11
or any
additional rent on the MOB Properties as provided elsewhere in
this Lease, it is
agreed that the unpaid amount shall be amortized together with
interest at the
rate of four percent (4%) per annum and paid over the subsequent
thirty-six (36)
months as additional rent.
ARTICLE III
AFTER ACQUIRED PROPERTY
3.1 999 Tustin Avenue Condominium Units. Originally, Landlord
had intended
to acquire from Tenant and lease back to Tenant those
condominium units located
at 999 North Tustin Ave. Santa Ana, CA 92705 as more
specifically set forth on
Exhibit A hereof. Said condominium units are subject to a right
of first refusal
and so cannot immediately be acquired by Tenant and transferred

the acquisition of
7
<PAGE>
said condominium units by Tenant and the transfer thereof to
Landlord (or so
many of said condominium units as are not taken by others
through the exercise
of the right of first refusal, hereinafter the "Transferred

to the MOB

the commencement date of the lease thereof.

shall furnish
Tenant, upon receipt by Landlord, with true copies of each bill
to be paid by
Tenant in whole or in part.
4.2 Tax Contest. Upon written application, Tenant shall furnish

Tenant hereunder
