NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I
1.1 Lease. Upon
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Master Lease, from and
after the Effective Date, Lessor shall continue to lease to Lessee, and Lessee
shall continue to lease from Lessor, the Leased Properties upon which the
forty-two (42) Facilities listed on attached Exhibit A (which
includes the Future Transition Facilities) are located, on the terms and
conditions set forth herein, it being the express intention of the parties that
the leasehold estates governed by this Master Lease shall be one and the same as
the leasehold estates created under the Existing Sun Master Lease, the
Harborside Master Lease, and the Litchfield Peak Lease.
The term
“Leased
Properties” as of the Commencement Date means all of Lessor’s right,
title and interest in and to the real properties described on Exhibit B to this
Master Lease (the “Land”) and all of the
following:
-2-
|
(i)
|
all
buildings, structures, Fixtures (as hereinafter defined) and other
improvements of every kind including, but not limited to, alleyways and
connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines (on-site
and off-site), parking areas and roadways appurtenant to such buildings
and structures presently situated upon the Land (collectively, the “Leased
Improvements”);
|
|
(ii)
|
all
easements, rights and appurtenances relating to the Land and the Leased
Improvements (collectively, the “Related
Rights”);
|
|
(iii)
|
all
permanently affixed equipment, machinery, fixtures, and other items of
real and/or personal property, including all components thereof, now and
hereafter located in, on or used in connection with, and permanently
affixed to or incorporated into the Leased Improvements, including,
without limitation, all furnaces, boilers, heaters, electrical equipment,
heating, plumbing, lighting, ventilating, refrigerating, incineration, air
and water pollution control, waste disposal, air-cooling and
air-conditioning systems and apparatus (other than individual units),
sprinkler systems and fire and theft protection equipment, and built-in
oxygen and vacuum systems, all of which to the greatest extent permitted
by law, are hereby deemed by the parties hereto to constitute real estate,
together with all replacements, modifications, alterations and additions
thereto but specifically excluding all items included within the
categories of Lessor’s Personal Property (defined below) (collectively the
“Fixtures”);
and
|
|
(iv)
|
all
of the Personal Property (including intangibles), now or hereafter located
on the Land or in the Leased Improvements, together with any and all
replacements thereof, which is the property of Lessor, and all Personal
Property that pursuant to the terms of this Master Lease becomes the
property of Lessor during the Term (“Lessor’s Personal
Property”); provided, however that the term “Lessor’s
Personal Property” shall expressly exclude Cash, Accounts, Lessee’s
Personal Property and all proceeds
thereof.
|
In the
event that, at anytime during the Term, this Master Lease, by its terms,
terminates as to any portion of the Leased Properties, then effective from and
after such termination and without the need by any of the parties to execute any
amendments to this Master Lease, the “Leased Properties” shall refer to that
portion of the Leased Properties which continues to be subject to the terms of
this Master Lease. The Leased Properties are leased subject to all covenants,
conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters affecting the Leased
Properties as of the Commencement Date and such subsequent covenants,
conditions, restrictions, easement and other matters as may be agreed to by
Lessor or Lessee in accordance with the terms of this Lease, whether or not of
record, including the Permitted Encumbrances and other matters which would be
disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Leased Properties. Lessor
represents and warrants to Lessee that as of the Commencement Date it has no
actual knowledge of any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easement or other
matters affecting the Leased Properties which is not of record.
-3-
1.2 Single, Indivisible
Lease. This Master Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of
the Leased Properties and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The
Leased Properties constitute one economic unit, and the Base Rent and all other
provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based on a demise of all of the
Leased Properties to Lessee as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and
would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease
been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Master Lease for specific,
isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated) and
except for the Future Transition Facilities, which may be
transitioned in accordance with the terms of this Master Lease, all provisions
of this Master Lease apply equally and uniformly to all of the Leased Properties
as one unit. An Event of Default with respect to any Leased Property is an Event
of Default as to all of the Leased Properties. The parties intend that the
provisions of this Master Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and
applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease
of all of the Leased Properties and, in particular but without limitation, that,
for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Master Lease
under 11 U.S.C. Section 365, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and
executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Master
Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and
only as to all) of the Leased Properties.
1.3 Joint and Several
Obligation. Lessee acknowledges that collectively they are
jointly and severally liable for the payment of all sums payable and for the
performance of all obligations performable, by one or more of the Lessees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no Lessee shall, by virtue of this
Master Lease, have any rights to, or title or interest in, the Leased Property
or Properties leased by another Lessee or any obligation to operate the same to
the extent it is not licensed to do so under applicable law.
1.4 Term.
1.4.1 The
initial continued term of this Master Lease (“Initial Continued
Term”) shall commence:
(i) on
December 1, 2003 and end on December 31, 2013 for the Continued Facilities;
and
(ii) on the
Effective Date and end on December 31, 2013 for the Harborside
Facilities;
in each
case, subject to renewal as set forth in Section 1.5.1 below.
1.4.2 The
initial term of the Master Lease for the Litchfield Facilities (the “Initial Litchfield
Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and end on September 30,
2017, subject to renewal as set forth in Section 1.5.2 below.
1.5 Options to
Renew.
1.5.1 Lessee is
hereby granted two (2) successive options to renew this Master Lease as to the
Non-Litchfield Facilities for a period of ten (10) Lease Years each (each a
“Non-Litchfield Option

the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2023 and the second such
option being for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31,
2033. The Non-Litchfield Options to Renew are subject to the
following terms and conditions (which conditions may be waived by Lessor in its
sole discretion):
-4-

Non-Litchfield Option to Renew is exercisable only by Notice to Lessor at least
three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, and not more than five hundred
forty-five (545), prior to the expiration of the Initial Continued Term (or
prior to the expiration of the period covered by the preceding Non-Litchfield
Option to Renew, as the case may be);
(b) No Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either at the time a
Non-Litchfield Option to Renew is exercised or at the commencement of the period
covered by each Non-Litchfield Option to Renew;
(c) During
the period covered by each Non-Litchfield Option to Renew, except as otherwise
specifically provided for herein, all of the terms and conditions of this Master

other than Lessor, Lessee shall send to Lessor, simultaneously with such
payment, a copy of the transmittal letter or invoice and a check whereby such
payment is made or such other evidence of payment as Lessor may reasonably
require.
3.5 Net
Lease.
3.5.1 The Rent
shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor, so that this Master Lease shall yield to
Lessor the full amount of the installments of Base Rent and Additional Charges
payable thereunder throughout the Term, subject only to any other provisions of
this Master Lease which expressly provide for adjustment or abatement of Rent or
other charges. This Master Lease is and shall be a “pure-net” or
“triple-net” lease, as such terms are commonly used in the real estate industry,
it being intended that Lessee shall pay all costs, expenses, and charges arising
out of the use, occupancy and operation of the Leased Properties.
3.5.2 Lessor
shall not be required to furnish any services whatsoever to the Leased
Properties, or make any payment of any kind whatsoever. Lessee
hereby assumes the full and sole responsibility for the condition, operation,
repair, alteration, improvement, replacement, maintenance and management of the
Leased Properties. Lessor shall not be responsible for any loss or
damage to any property of Lessee or any sub-tenant, concessionaire, or other
user or occupant of any part of the Leased Properties, absent the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its employees or
agents.
3.6 Limitation on
Counterclaim. If Lessor commences any proceedings for
non-payment of Rent, Lessee will not interpose any counterclaim or cross
complaint or similar pleading of any nature or description in such proceedings
unless Lessee would lose or waive such claim by the failure to assert
it. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Lessee’s
rights to assert such claims in a separate action brought by
Lessee. The covenants to pay rent and other amounts hereunder are
independent covenants, and Lessee shall have no right to hold back, offset or
fail to pay any such amounts for default by Lessor or for any other reason
whatsoever.

Transition Facilities.
3.7.2 The
affected Lessee shall negotiate an Operations Transfer Agreement (“OTA”) in good faith,

event the Base Rent shall be reduced by One Million Seven Hundred Thousand and
no/100 Dollars ($1,700,000) concurrently with the closing of the sale of such
Future Transitioned Facilities.

right to lease the Leased Properties to Lessee, and, if Lessor acquired the
Leased Properties from anyone other than Lessee or an Affiliate of Lessee,
Lessor warrants and represents it has good and marketable fee simple title to
the Leased Properties, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and any Lessee
Encumbrances. Lessee acknowledges that the Leased Properties are the
property of Lessor and that Lessee has only the right to the possession and use

file any income tax return or other associated documents; (ii) file any other
document with or submit any document to any governmental body or authority;
(iii) enter into any written contractual arrangement with any Person; or (iv)
release any financial statements of Lessee, in each case that takes a position

lease.” If Lessee should reasonably conclude that GAAP or the SEC
require treatment different from that set forth in the subsections (i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) of the previous sentence, then Lessee (y) shall give prior
Notice to Lessor, and (z) notwithstanding the prior sentence, Lessee may comply
with such requirements.

order, condition and repair as shall be necessary in order to operate the
Facilities for the Primary Intended Use in compliance with all applicable
licensure and certification requirements, all applicable Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements, and customary industry practice for the Primary Intended
Use, reasonable wear and tear and obsolescence excepted. If any of
Lessor’s Personal Property requires replacement in order to comply with the
foregoing, Lessee shall replace it with similar property of the same or better
quality at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and when such replacement property is
placed in service with respect to any Leased Property it shall become Lessor’s
Personal Property. At the expiration or earlier termination of this
Master Lease, all of Lessor’s Personal Property shall be surrendered to Lessor
with the Leased Properties at or before the time of the surrender of the Leased
Properties in good operating condition.
6.3 Lessee’s Personal
Property. Lessee shall provide and maintain during the Term
such Personal Property, in addition to Lessor’s Personal Property, as shall be
reasonably necessary and appropriate in order to operate the Facilities for the
Primary Intended Use in compliance with all licensure and certification
requirements and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this

Lessee’s purchase of the Leased Properties or any portion thereof in accordance
with the terms of this Master Lease (i) Lessee shall have the right, at its sole
cost and expense, to remove from the Leased Properties or the Leased
Property(ies) as to which this Master Lease has terminated, as applicable, the
Excluded Lessee’s Personal Property unless there is then outstanding an Event of
Default hereunder and Lessor elects to exercise its rights with respect to the
Excluded Lessee’s Personal Property in accordance with the terms of the Amended
Security Agreement and (ii) the Relinquished Lessee’s Property shall be and
remain the property of Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request, execute such
documents as may be reasonably necessary to convey to Lessor all of Lessee’s
right, title and interest therein free and clear of all liens, claims, charges
and encumbrances. Any of the Excluded Lessee’s Personal Property which Lessee
fails to remove from the affected Leased Property(ies) within twenty (20) days
following the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease shall be
considered abandoned by Lessee and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or
otherwise disposed of by Lessor without giving notice thereof to Lessee and
without any payment to Lessee or any obligation to account
therefore. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any and all expenses
reasonably incurred by Lessor in disposing of any of the Excluded Lessee’s
Personal Property in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and
shall either at its own expense restore the Leased Properties to the condition
required by Section 9.1.7, including repair of all damages to the Leased
Properties caused by the removal of any of the Excluded Lessee’s Personal
Property, or reimburse Lessor for any and all expense reasonably incurred by

Properties. Lessee has been and currently is in possession of
the Leased Properties and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased
Properties and has found the same to be in good order and repair and
satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. Lessee continues to lease
the Leased Properties “as is” in their condition at the time this Master Lease
is entered into. Lessee waives any claim or action against Lessor in
respect of the condition of any Leased Property. LESSOR MAKES NO
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO LESSEE OR TO ANY PARTY WITH
WHICH LESSEE ENTERS INTO A MANAGEMENT CONTRACT, IN RESPECT OF ANY LEASED

CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF
THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL
SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH
LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO
LESSEE. Lessee further acknowledges that Lessee is solely responsible
for the condition of the Leased Properties from and after the Commencement
Date. Unless any Leased Property was acquired from Lessee, and to the
extent permitted by law, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee, all of Lessor’s
rights, if any, to proceed against any predecessor in title for breaches of
warranties or representations, or for latent defects in such Leased Property and
Lessee agrees to fully prosecute any and all such claims. Lessor

Use”). Lessee shall not use any Leased Property or any portion
thereof for any other use without the prior written consent of
Lessor. No use shall be made or permitted to be made by Lessee, its
agents and employees of any Leased Properties, and no acts shall be done by
Lessee, its agents and employees, which will cause the cancellation of any
insurance policy covering any Leased Property or any part thereof, nor shall
Lessee sell or otherwise provide to residents or patients therein, or permit to
be kept, used or sold in or about any Leased Property any article which may be
prohibited by law or by the standard form of fire insurance policies, or any
other insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriter’s
regulations.

dedication of such Leased Property or any portion thereof.

against any Leased Property or any part thereof under any Environmental Law (or,

permitted contests, Lessee, at its expense, will promptly (i) comply with all
applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in respect of the use,
operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Properties and
Lessee’s Personal Property, whether or not compliance therewith requires
structural changes in any of the Leased Improvements (any such structural
changes, nevertheless, being subject to Lessor’s prior written approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) or
interferes with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Properties including such
expenditures as are required to conform the Leased Properties to such standards
as may from time to time be required by Federal Medicare (Title 18)
or Medicaid (Title 19) Skilled Care Nursing Programs, if applicable, or any
other applicable programs or legislation, or capital improvements required by
any other governmental agency having jurisdiction over any Leased Property as a
condition to the continued operation of such Leased Property, approved for
Medicare, Medicaid or similar programs, pursuant to present or future laws or
governmental regulation and (ii) procure, maintain and comply with all licenses,
certificates of need, provider agreements and other authorizations required for

Leased Properties and maintenance, alteration, and operation of the same, and
all parts thereof, shall at all times conform to all applicable local, state,
and federal laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations (including but not limited
to the Americans with Disabilities Act) unless the same are held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unlawful. Lessee may, however, upon
prior written Notice to Lessor, contest the legality or applicability of any
such law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or any licensure or certification
decision as provided in Section 12.1. The judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action or proceeding
against Lessee, whether Lessor is a party thereto or not, that Lessee has
violated any such Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee.
8.6 Certain
Covenants
Regarding Management.
8.6.1 Limitation of Management
Fees. A condition to the effectiveness of the Term with
respect to this Master Lease shall be the disclosure to Lessor of the terms of
any management agreement between Lessee and any other entity affecting the
operational control of any Facility, and Lessor’s approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, of such terms and of such other entity. Each manager
shall subordinate its right to receive any management fee from any Facility to
Lessee’s obligation to pay Lessor the Base Rent and Additional Charges for such
Facility.
-33-
8.6.2 Management
Agreements. Lessee covenants that during the Term of this
Lease it shall neither (i) enter into any management agreement with respect to a
Facility without Lessor’s approval, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold (provided the proposed manager does not fail to meet the
criteria set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3 set forth on Exhibit G which would
be applicable to it if it were a proposed “Transferee” and it is not proposed
that the use of the affected Leased Property change from the Primary Intended
Use or violate any other agreement affecting the affected Leased Property), or
(ii) amend, modify, renew, replace or otherwise change the terms of any existing
management agreement for a Facility without the prior written consent of Lessor,
which Lessor may not unreasonably withhold, and, in either case, without a
satisfactory subordination by such manager of its right to receive its
management fee to the obligation of Lessee to pay the Base Rent and Additional
Charges to Lessor.

9.1 Maintenance and
Repair.
9.1.1 Lessee,
at its expense, will keep the Leased Properties and all fixtures thereon and all
landscaping, private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto and which
are under Lessee’s control and Lessee’s Personal Property in good order and
repair (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee’s
use, the elements or the age of the Leased Properties or any portion thereof, or
any cause whatever except the failure of Lessor to make any payment or to
perform any act expressly required under this Master Lease or any willful
misconduct of Lessor), and, except as otherwise provided in Article XIV, with
reasonable promptness, make all necessary and appropriate repairs thereto 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 whether or not existing prior to the commencement of the
Term (concealed or otherwise). Lessee shall not make any changes or
alterations to any Leased Property, except as permitted pursuant to Article
X.
9.1.2 Lessee
shall do or cause others to do all shoring of any Leased Property or adjoining
property (whether or not owned by Lessor) or of the foundations and walls of the
Leased Improvements, and every other act necessary or appropriate for the
preservation and safety thereof, by reason of or in connection with any
subsidence, settling or excavation or other building operation upon any of the
Leased Properties or adjoining property, whether or not Lessor shall, by any
Legal Requirements, be required to take such action or be liable for the failure
to do so. All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably achievable, be
at least equivalent in quality to the original work, and, subject to the
provisions of paragraph 9.1.6, where, by reason of age or condition, such
repairs cannot be made to the quality of the original work, the property to be
repaired shall be replaced.
9.1.3 It is the
intention of these provisions that the level of maintenance of the Leased
Properties shall be not less than the standard applied by Lessee in its
operation of other similar licensed health care facilities it owns and/or
operates. At all times Lessee shall maintain, operate and otherwise manage the
Leased Properties on a quality basis and in a manner consistent with the
standards of other facilities in the market area for the Leased
Properties.

9.1.4 Lessor
shall not under any circumstances be required to 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 upon any adjoining property, whether to provide
lateral or other support for any Leased Property or abate a nuisance affecting
any Leased Property, or otherwise, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with
respect thereto, in connection with this Master Lease, or to maintain any Leased
Property in any way. Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by
law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any law in
effect at the time of the execution of this Master Lease or hereafter
enacted.
9.1.5 Nothing
contained in this Master Lease, and no action or inaction by Lessor, shall be
construed for the benefit of any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman
or vendor as (i) constituting the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or
implied, 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)
subject to the provisions of Section 12.1 , giving Lessee 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 Lessor in respect thereof or to make any
agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for any right, title,
interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor in any
Leased Property, or any portion thereof. Lessor shall have the right
to give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of non-responsibility under
any mechanics’ lien laws now or hereafter existing.
9.1.6 Lessee
shall, from time to time, replace with other operational equipment or parts or
property (the “Replacement
Property”) any of the Fixtures or Lessor’s Personal Property (the “Replaced Property”)
which shall have (i) become worn out, obsolete or unusable for the purpose for
which it is intended, (ii) been taken by Condemnation, in which event Lessee
shall be entitled to that portion of any Award made therefor, or (iii) been
lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed; provided, however, that the Replacement
Property shall (1) be in good operating condition, (2) have a then value (as
adjusted for inflation) and useful life at least equal to the value and
estimated useful life of the Replaced Property as of the date hereof for
Replaced Property specified in Subparagraph 9.1.6(i), or have a value and useful
life at least equal to the value and estimated useful life of the Replaced
Property immediately prior to the time that the Replaced Property specified in
Subparagraphs 9.1.6 (ii) and 9.1.6 (iii) had become so taken or so lost, stolen,
damaged or destroyed, and (3) be suitable for a use which is the same or similar
to that of the Replaced Property. Lessee shall repair at its sole
cost and expense all damage to the Leased Properties caused by the removal of
Replaced Property or other personal property of Lessee or the installation of
Replacement Property. All Replacement Property shall become the
property of Lessor and shall become a part of the Fixtures or Lessor’s Personal
Property, as the case may be, to the same extent as the

9.1.7 Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Lessee shall vacate and surrender
the Leased Properties to Lessor as a fully equipped, licensed nursing home or
rehabilitation hospital or other healthcare facility, as applicable, with all
equipment required by the laws of the State to maintain its then current
license. The Leased Properties shall be returned in the condition in
which it was originally received from Lessor, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or
required by the provisions of this Master Lease.
9.2 Encroachments, Restrictions,
etc. Except in the case of Permitted Encumbrances, if any of
the Leased Improvements, at any time, encroaches upon any property, street or
right-of-way adjacent to the Leased Properties, or violates the agreements or
conditions contained in any lawful restrictive covenant or other agreement
affecting any Leased Property, or any part thereof, or impairs the rights of
others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Properties is
subject, then promptly upon the request of Lessor or at the behest of any person
affected by any such encroachment, violation or impairment, Lessee shall, at its
expense, subject to its right to contest the existence of any encroachment,
violation or impairment as provided in Section 12.1 and in such case, in the
event of an adverse final determination, either (i) obtain valid and effective
waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from
each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall affect
Lessor or Lessee or (ii) make such changes to the Leased Improvements, and take
such other actions, as Lessee in the good faith exercise of its judgment deems
reasonably practicable, to remove such encroachment, and to end such violation
or impairment, 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 Properties for the
Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and to the extent the Leased
Properties were operated prior to the assertion of such violation, impairment or
encroachment. Lessee shall in no event have any claim or offset with
respect to any such violation, impairment or encroachment. Any such
alteration must be made in conformity with the applicable requirements of
Article X.
-36-
9.3 Facility
Improvements. As of the Effective Date, Lessee hereby
represents and warrants to Lessor that the “Work” has been completed and Lessor
and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the “Escrow” has been fully disbursed (as

Lease).

consecutive occasions to fulfill its obligations hereunder with respect to the
payment of Rent or Impositions or the compliance with any Insurance Requirements

hereunder, Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall thereafter be entitled to
require Lessee to pay monthly a pro rata portion of the amounts required to

ARTICLE

13.1 General Insurance
Requirements. During the Term, Lessee shall at all times keep
the Leased Properties, and all property located in or on Leased Property,
including Lessor’s Personal Property and Lessee’s Personal Property, insured
with the kinds and amounts of insurance described below. Except as otherwise
provided in this Article XIII, (a) this insurance shall be written by companies
authorized to do insurance business in the State and, (b) all such policies
provided and maintained during the Term shall be written by companies having a
rating classification of not less than “A-” and a financial size category of
“Class X,” according to the then most recent issue of Best’s Key Rating
Guide. The policies (other than Workers’ Compensation policies) must
name Lessor as an additional insured. Losses shall be payable to
Lessor or Lessee as provided in Article XIV. In addition, the
policies shall name as an additional insured, the holder of any mortgage deed of
trust or other security agreement on the Leased Properties (“Facility Mortgagee”)
securing any Assumed Indebtedness and any other Encumbrance placed on the Leased
Properties in accordance with the provisions of Article XXXIV (“Facility Mortgage”),
as its interest may appear, by way of a standard form of mortgagee’s loss
payable endorsement in use in the State and in accordance with any such other
requirements as may be established by the Facility Mortgagee. Any
loss adjustment in the excess of the Self-Administered Amount shall require the
written consent of Lessor, Lessee, and the Facility Mortgagee, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld by either Lessor or
Lessee. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Lessor and, if
requested, with the Facility Mortgagee(s). If any provision of a
Facility Mortgage requires deposits of premiums for insurance to be made with
the Facility Mortgagee, Lessee shall either pay to Lessor monthly the amounts so
required and Lessor shall transfer such amounts to the Facility Mortgagee, or,
pursuant to written direction by Lessor, Lessee shall make such deposits
directly with such Facility Mortgagee. Upon Lessee’s request, Lessor
shall provide Lessee with evidence of its transfer of such
amounts. The policies on the Leased Properties, including the Leased
Improvements, Fixtures and Lessor’s Personal Property, and on Lessee’s Personal
Property, shall insure against the following risks:
13.1.1 Loss or
damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, earthquake (if available at
commercially reasonable rates) and extended coverage perils commonly known as
“Special Risk,” and all physical loss perils normally included in such Special
Risk insurance, including but not limited to sprinkler leakage, in an amount not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the then full replacement cost thereof
(as defined below in Section 13.2);

damage by explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, now

rental included in a business income or rental value insurance policy covering
risk of loss during reconstruction necessitated by the occurrence of any of the
hazards described in Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.2 (but in no event for a period of
less than twelve (12) months) in an amount sufficient to prevent either Lessor
or Lessee from becoming a co-insurer;
-40-
13.1.4 Claims
for personal injury or property damage under a policy of commercial general
public liability insurance with a combined single limit per occurrence in
respect of bodily injury and death and property damage of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000), and an aggregate limitation of Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000), which insurance shall include contractual liability
insurance;
13.1.5 Claims
arising out of professional malpractice in an amount not less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) for each person and for each occurrence and an aggregate
limit of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000);
13.1.6 Flood
(when any Leased Property is located in whole or in part within a designated
flood plain area) and such other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary
for comparable properties in the area;
13.1.7 During
such time as Lessee is constructing any improvements, Lessee, at its sole cost
and expense, shall carry, or cause to be carried (i) workers’ compensation
insurance and employers’ liability insurance covering all persons employed in
connection with the improvements in statutory limits, (ii) a completed
operations endorsement to the commercial general liability insurance policy
referred to above, (iii) builder’s risk insurance, completed value form,
covering all physical loss, in an amount and subject to policy conditions
satisfactory to Lessor, and (iv) such other insurance, in such amounts, as
Lessor deems necessary to protect Lessor’s interest in the Leased Properties
from any act or omission of Lessee’s contractors or subcontractors;
13.1.8 Lessee
shall procure, and at all times during the Term of this Master Lease shall
maintain, a policy of primary automobile liability insurance with limits of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for owned and non-owned and hired
vehicles; and
13.1.9 If Lessee
chooses to carry umbrella liability coverage to obtain the limits of liability
required hereunder, all such policies must cover in the same manner as the
primary commercial general liability policy and must contain no additional
exclusions or limitations materially different from those of the primary
policy.
13.2 Replacement
Cost. The term “full replacement
cost” as used herein, shall mean as to each Leased Property, the actual
replacement cost of the Leased Improvements, Fixtures and Personal Property,
including an increased cost of construction endorsement, less exclusions
provided in the standard form of fire insurance policy, of such Leased
Property. In all events, full replacement cost shall be an amount
sufficient that neither Lessor nor Lessee is deemed to be a co-insurer of a
Leased Property. If Lessor believes that full replacement cost (the
then replacement cost less such exclusions) of a Leased Property has increased
at any time during the Term, it shall have the right to have such full
replacement cost reasonably redetermined by an appraiser reasonably acceptable
to the fire insurance company which is then carrying the largest amount of fire
insurance carried on the Leased Properties, hereinafter referred to as
“impartial appraiser”. The determination of the impartial appraiser
shall be final and binding on Lessor and Lessee, and Lessee shall forthwith
increase, but not decrease, the amount of the insurance carried pursuant to this
Section, as the case may be, to the amount so determined by the impartial
appraiser, subject to the approval of the Facility Mortgagee, as
applicable. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay one-half (½) of the fee,
if any, of the impartial appraiser.
-41-
13.3 Additional
Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above,
Lessee shall within ninety (90) days after the receipt of Notice of any such
requirement maintain such additional insurance as may be required from time to
time by the Facility Mortgagee and shall further at all times maintain worker’s
compensation insurance coverage for all persons employed by Lessee on the Leased
Properties to the extent required under applicable State laws. Such
worker’s compensation insurance shall be in accordance with the requirements of
applicable local, state and federal law.
13.4 Waiver of
Subrogation. All insurance policies carried by either party
covering the Leased Properties, the Fixtures, the Facilities, Lessor’s Personal
Property or Lessee’s Personal Property, including without limitation, contents,
fire and casualty insurance, shall expressly waive any right of subrogation on
the part of the insurer against the other party. Lessee shall pay any
additional costs or charges for obtaining such waiver.
13.5 Form Satisfactory,
etc.
13.5.1 All of
the policies of insurance referred to in this Article XIII shall be written in a
form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and any Facility
Mortgagee. The property loss insurance policy shall contain a
Replacement Cost Endorsement. If Lessee obtains and maintains the
professional malpractice insurance described in Section 13.1.5 above on a
“claims-made” basis, Lessee shall provide continuous liability coverage for
claims arising during the Term either by obtaining an endorsement providing for
an extended reporting period reasonably acceptable to Lessor in the event such
policy is canceled or not renewed for any reason whatsoever, or by obtaining
either (a) “tail” insurance coverage converting the policies to “occurrence”
basis policies providing coverage for a period of at least three (3) years
beyond the expiration of the Term, or (b) retroactive coverage back to the
commencement date (which date shall be at least three (3) years prior to the
expiration of the Term) for the policy in effect prior to the expiration of the
Term and maintaining such coverage for a period of at least three (3) years
beyond the expiration of the Term. Lessee shall (i) pay when due all
of the premiums therefor, and deliver such policies or certificates thereof to
Lessor prior to their effective date, (ii) with respect to any renewal policy,
prior to the expiration of the existing policy, Lessee shall furnish a new
policy or binder to Lessor) and (iii) promptly thereafter, deliver the
certificate or the new policy and in the event of the failure of Lessee either
to effect such insurance as herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor,
or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor at the times
required, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to effect such
insurance and pay the premiums therefor when due, which premiums shall be
repayable to Lessor upon written demand therefor as Rent, and failure to repay
the same shall constitute an Event of Default within the meaning of Section
16.1.
-42-
13.5.2 Each
insurer mentioned in this Article XIII shall agree, by endorsement on the policy
or policies issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Lessor, that
it will give to Lessor (and to any Facility Mortgagee, if required by the same)
at least thirty (30) days’ written notice before the policy or policies in
question shall be materially altered or canceled.
13.5.3 Notwithstanding
any provision of this Article XIII to the contrary, each Lessor acknowledges and
agrees that the coverage required to be maintained by Lessee, including but not
limited to the coverages required under Sections 13.1.4, 13.1.5, 13.1.8 and any
workers’ compensation insurance, may be provided under one or more policies of
self-insurance maintained by Sun and/or one or more of the Lessees or their
respective Affiliates.
13.6 Increase in
Limits. If, from time to time after the Commencement Date,
Lessor determines in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment that the
limits of the personal injury or property damage-public liability insurance then
carried are insufficient, Lessor may give Lessee Notice of acceptable limits for
the insurance to be carried; and within ninety (90) days after the receipt of
such Notice, the insurance shall thereafter be carried with limits as prescribed
by Lessor until further increase pursuant to the provisions of this
Section.
13.7 Blanket
Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article XIII, Lessee’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for
herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or
policies of insurance carried and maintained by Lessee; provided, however, that
the coverage afforded Lessor will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be
materially different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting
all other requirements hereof by reason of the use of the blanket policy, and
provided further that the requirements of this Article XIII (including
satisfaction of the Facility Mortgagee’s requirements and the approval of the
Facility Mortgagee) are otherwise satisfied, and provided further that Lessee
maintains specific allocations acceptable to Lessor.
13.8 No Separate
Insurance.
13.8.1 Lessee
shall not on Lessee’s own initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement
of any third party, take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Article, to be
furnished by, or which may reasonably be required to be furnished by, Lessee, or
increase the amount of any then existing insurance by securing an additional
policy or policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the
subject matter of the insurance, including in all cases Lessor and all Facility
Mortgagees are included therein as additional insureds, and the loss is payable
under said insurance in the same manner as losses are payable
hereunder.
13.8.2 Nothing
herein shall prohibit Lessee from insuring against risks not required to be
insured hereby, and as to such insurance, Lessor and any Facility Mortgagee need
not be included therein as additional insureds, nor must the loss thereunder be
payable in the same manner as losses are payable hereunder except to the extent
required to avoid a default under the Facility Mortgage or any other Permitted
Encumbrance.
-43-
ARTICLE
XIV
14.1 Insurance
Proceeds. All proceeds, net of any costs incurred by Lessor in
obtaining such proceeds, payable by reason of any loss or damage to any Leased
Property, or any portion thereof, insured under (i) any policy of insurance
required by Article XIII or (ii) under any other policies of insurance owned or
maintained by Lessee with respect to any Leased Property shall be paid to Lessor
and held by Lessor as provided herein. If such proceeds, net of
collection costs, but inclusive of the proceeds with respect to the Personal
Property which Lessee elects to restore or replace pursuant to Section 14.2
(the “Net
Proceeds”) are less than the Self-Administered Amount, and, if no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall pay the Net Proceeds to
Lessee promptly upon the completion of any restoration or repair, as the case
may be, of any damage to or destruction of any Leased Property, or any portion
thereof. If the Net Proceeds equal or exceed the Self-Administered
Amount, and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Net
Proceeds shall be made available for restoration or repair, as the case may be,
of any damage to or destruction of any Leased Property, or any portion thereof,
as provided in Section 14.9; provided, however, that within fifteen (15) days of
the receipt of the Net Proceeds, Lessor and Lessee shall agree as to the
portion, if any, thereof attributable to Lessee’s Personal Property (and failing
such shall submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to the provisions hereof)
and those Net Proceeds which the parties agree are payable by reason of any loss
or damage to any of Lessee’s Personal Property shall be disbursed in the manner
specified in Section 14.4.
14.2 Restoration in the Event of
Damage or Destruction Covered by Insurance.
14.2.1 If during
the Term any Leased Property is totally or partially damaged or destroyed from a
risk covered by the insurance described in Article XIII and such Leased Property
thereby is rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall give
Lessor Notice of such damage or destruction within five (5) Business Days of the
occurrence thereof. Lessee shall, within sixty (60) days of the
occurrence, either (i) commence the restoration of the affected Leased
Property to substantially the same (or better) condition as the condition of
such Leased Property immediately prior to such damage or destruction, and
complete such restoration within the Reconstruction Period of the occurrence, or
(ii) purchase the affected Leased Property from Lessor for a purchase price
equal to the Minimum Purchase Price at the time of the damage or
destruction.
14.2.2 If during
the Term, any Leased Property is totally or partially destroyed from a risk
covered by the insurance described in Article XIII, but such Leased Property is
not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall give
Lessor Notice of such damage or destruction within five (5) Business Days of the
occurrence thereof. Within sixty (60) days of the occurrence, Lessee
shall commence to restore such Leased Property to substantially the same (or
better) condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction and
complete the restoration within the Reconstruction Period. Lessor shall make the
Net Proceeds available to Lessee for such purpose as provided in this Article
XIV. Such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Master Lease
with respect to such Leased Property; provided, however, if Lessee cannot within
a reasonable time obtain all necessary government approvals, including building
permits, licenses, conditional use permits and any certificates of need, after
diligent efforts to do so, in order to be able to perform all required repair
and restoration work and to operate such Leased Property for its Primary
Intended Use in substantially the same manner as that existing immediately prior
to such damage or destruction, Lessee shall purchase such Leased Property for a
purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price at the time of the damage or
destruction.
-44-
14.3 Restoration in the Event of
Damage or Destruction Not Covered by Insurance. Except as
provided in Section 14.7 below, if during the Term, a Leased Property is totally
or partially destroyed from a risk not covered by the insurance described in
Article XIII, Lessee shall give Lessor Notice of such damage or destruction
within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence thereof. Whether or
not such damage or destruction renders such Leased Property Unsuitable for Its
Primary Intended Use, Lessee at its option shall either restore such Leased
Property to substantially the same condition it was in immediately before such
damage or destruction, and such damage or destruction shall not terminate this
Master Lease as to such affected Leased Property, or purchase such Leased
Property for the Minimum Purchase Price. If Lessee fails to make the
election within sixty (60) days of the occurrence or if Lessee elects not to
restore, or if Lessee fails to commence or complete the restoration within the
Reconstruction Period, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to purchase
such affected Leased Property and upon
the closing of such purchase, this Master Lease shall terminate as to the
affected Leased Property. Lessee shall complete the purchase within
the Reconstruction Period.
14.4 Lessee’s
Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any loss
of or damage to any of Lessee’s Personal Property shall be paid to Lessee, and
Lessee shall hold such insurance proceeds in trust to pay the cost of repairing
or replacing damaged Lessee’s Personal Property.
14.5 Restoration of Lessee’s
Property. If Lessee is required or elects to restore a Leased
Property as provided in Section 14.2 or 14.3, Lessee shall also restore all
alterations and improvements made by Lessee and all of Lessee’s Personal
Property, to the extent required to maintain the then current license of such
Leased Property.
14.6 Damage Near End of
Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 14.2 or
14.3 appearing to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of a Leased Property
occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Continuing Initial Term,
Litchfield Initial Term or any Renewal Term, and if such damage or destruction
cannot be fully repaired and restored within six (6) months immediately
following the date of loss as reasonably estimated by Lessor, then Lessee shall
have the option, in lieu of restoring such Leased Property to substantially the
same (or better) condition as existed immediately before the damage or
destruction, to purchase such Leased Property from Lessor for a price equal to
the Minimum Purchase Price at the time of the damage or destruction
occurred. If Lessee fails to exercise such option by written Notice
to Lessor within thirty (30) days following the occurrence, or if Lessee elects
not to restore, or if Lessee elects to restore but fails to commence or complete
the restoration within the time limits specified in this Article XIV, then
Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to purchase such Leased Property for the
price set forth above. Lessee shall complete the purchase within (i)
one hundred eighty (180) days of the occurrence if Lessee elects not to restore
or (ii) sixty (60) days after the end of the Reconstruction Period in the event
Lessee elects, but fails, to restore the affected Leased Property. In
any such purchase, Lessee shall receive a credit for any Net Proceeds received
and retained by Lessor, less such amounts as may be necessary to cure any
default by Lessee.
-45-
14.7 Waiver. Except
as provided elsewhere herein, Lessee hereby waives any statutory or common law
rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage to or destruction
of all or any portion of the Leased Properties.
14.8 Procedure for Disbursement
of Insurance Proceeds Equal to or Greater Than The Self-Administered
Amount. In the event Lessee restores or repairs a Leased
Property pursuant to any Subsection of this Article XIV and if the Net Proceeds
equal or exceed the Self-Administered Amount, the restoration or repair shall be
performed in accordance with the following procedures:
(i) The
restoration or repair work shall be done pursuant to a written proposal and, if
applicable, plans and specifications, in either case approved by Lessor, and
Lessee shall cause to be prepared and presented to Lessor a certified
construction statement, acceptable to Lessor, showing the total cost of the
restoration or repair; to the extent such cost exceeds the available insurance
proceeds, the amount of such excess cost shall be paid, in cash, by Lessee, to
Lessor, before any disbursement is made by Lessor pursuant hereto (which
insurance proceeds and any additional funds paid by Lessee to Lessor are
hereinafter called the “Construction
Funds”).
(ii) The
Construction Funds shall be made available to Lessee as the restoration and
repair work progresses pursuant to certificates of an architect acceptable to
Lessor, which certificates shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Lessor and subject to a ten percent (10%) holdback until the architect
certifies that the work is fifty percent (50%) complete after which, so long as
there is no uncured Event of Default and so long as the architect certifies work
is proceeding in accordance with schedule and budget, there shall be no further
retainage. Any funds paid by Lessee to Lessor to pay all excess costs shall be
disbursed prior to disbursement of any insurance proceeds. The architect shall
be selected by Lessee, but in the judgment of Lessor, reasonably exercised,
shall be highly qualified in the design and construction of nursing homes, or of
the type of property for which the restoration or repair work is being
done.
(iii) There
shall be delivered to Lessor, with such certificates, sworn statements and lien
waivers in an amount at least equal to the amount of Construction Funds to be
paid out to Lessee pursuant to each architect’s certificate and dated as of the
date of the disbursement to which they relate.
(iv) There
shall be delivered to Lessor such other evidence as Lessor may reasonably
request, from time to time, during the restoration and repair, as to the
progress of the work, compliance with the approved plans and specifications, the
cost of restoration and repair and the total amount needed to complete the
restoration and repair.
(v) There
shall be delivered to Lessor such other evidence as Lessor may reasonably
request, from time to time, showing that there are no liens against such Leased
Property arising in connection with the restoration and repair and that the cost
of such restoration and repair at least equals the total amount of Construction
Funds then disbursed to Lessee hereunder.
-46-
(vi) If such
Construction Funds are at any time reasonably determined by Lessor not to be
adequate for completion of the restoration and repair, Lessee shall immediately
pay any deficiency to Lessor to be held and disbursed as Construction Funds and
prior to any other funds then held by Lessor for disbursement pursuant
hereto.
(vii) Construction
Funds may be disbursed by Lessor to Lessee or to the persons entitled to receive
payment thereof from Lessee. Lessor may make such disbursement in
either case directly or through a third party escrow agent, such as, but not
limited to, a title insurance company, or its agent, as Lessor may determine in
its sole discretion. Any excess Construction Funds shall be paid to
Lessee upon completion of the restoration or repair.
(viii) In the
event Lessee at any time shall fail to promptly and fully perform the conditions
and covenants set out in subparagraphs (i) through (vi) above, and such failure
is not corrected within twenty (20) days of written Notice thereof, or in the
event during the Reconstruction Period an Event of Default occurs hereunder,
Lessor may, at its option, immediately cease making any further payments to
Lessee for such restoration and repair until cured.
14.9 Insurance Proceeds Paid to
Facility Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event that any Facility Mortgagee is entitled to any insurance
proceeds, or any portion thereof, under the terms of any Facility Mortgage, such
proceeds shall be applied, held and/or disbursed in accordance with the terms of
the Facility Mortgage. In the event that the Facility Mortgagee
elects to apply the insurance proceeds to the indebtedness secured by the
Facility Mortgage, Lessee shall either (i) restore such Facility to
substantially the same (or better) condition as existed immediately before the
damage or destruction, or (ii) offer to acquire such Facility from Lessor for
the Minimum Purchase Price within the time periods provided for in this Master
Lease. In such case, Lessee shall receive a credit against the
purchase price for amounts applied to pay the Facility
Mortgage. Lessor shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Net Proceeds to be applied to the restoration of such
Facility. If Lessee fails to make the election or if Lessee elects
not to restore, or if Lessee fails to commence or complete the restoration
within the time limits specified in this Article XIV, then Lessee shall be
deemed to have elected to purchase the affected Leased Property.
14.10 Termination of Master Lease;
Abatement of Rent. In the event Lessee purchases the affected Leased
Property pursuant to this Article XIV as a result of damage or to destruction of
all or any portion of the Leased Property, then (i) this Master Lease shall
terminate as to such Leased Property upon payment of the purchase price set
forth herein, (ii) the Base Rent due hereunder from and after the effective date
of such termination shall be reduced by an amount determined by multiplying a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price for the
affected Leased Property and the denominator of which shall be the Minimum
Purchase Price for all of the Leased Properties then subject to the terms of
this Master Lease by the Base Rent payable under this Master Lease immediately
prior to the effective date of the termination of this Master Lease as to the
affected Leased Property, (iii) provided that Lessee is not then in default
under this Master Lease and then only to the extent not previously applied by
Lessor, Lessor shall remit to Lessee all Net Proceeds pertaining to such Leased
Property being held by Lessor and (iv) Lessor shall retain any claim which
Lessor may have against Lessee for failure to insure such Leased Property as
required by Article XIII. Unless this Master Lease shall terminate
pursuant to this Article XIV as to the
affected Leased Property, this Master Lease shall remain in full force and
effect and Lessee’s obligation to make rental payments and to pay all other
charges required thereunder shall remain unabated during any period required for
repair and restoration.

ARTICLE
XV
15.1 Condemnation Article
Definitions.
15.1.1 “Condemnation” or
“Taking” means
(i) the exercise of any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or
otherwise, by a Condemnor, or (ii) a voluntary sale or transfer by Lessor to any
Condemnor, either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for
condemnation are pending.
15.1.2 “Date of Taking” means
the date the Condemnor has the right to possession of a Leased Property being
condemned.
15.1.3 “Award” means all
compensation, sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on a total or
partial Condemnation.
15.1.4 “Condemnor” means any
public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having
the power of condemnation.
15.2 Parties’ Rights and
Obligations. If during the Term there is any Taking of all or
any part of a Leased Property or any interest in this Master Lease by
Condemnation, the rights and obligations of the parties to this Master Lease
shall be determined by this Article XV.
15.3 Total
Taking. If title to the fee of the whole of a Leased Property
shall be taken or condemned by any Condemnor, this Master Lease shall cease and
terminate as to such Leased Property as of the Date of Taking by said
Condemnor. If title to the fee of less than the whole of such Leased
Property shall be so taken or condemned, which nevertheless renders such Leased
Property Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Lessee and Lessor shall each
have the option by written Notice to the other, at any time prior to the taking
of possession by, or the date of vesting of title in, such Condemnor, whichever
first occurs, to terminate this Master Lease as to such Leased Property as of
the date so determined. Upon such date so determined, if such Notice
has been given, this Master Lease shall thereupon cease and terminate as to such
Leased Property. In either of such events, all Base Rent and
Additional Charges paid or payable by Lessee hereunder shall be apportioned as
to the affected Leased Property as of the date this Master Lease shall have been
so terminated as aforesaid. In the event of any such termination, the
provisions of Section 15.4 shall apply.
15.4 Allocation of Portion of
Award. The Condemnation Award made with respect to all or any
portion of a Leased Property or for loss of rent shall be the property of and
payable to Lessor to the extent of the Minimum Purchase Price. To the
extent that the laws of the State
-48-
(i) To
Lessor, to the extent of the Minimum Purchase Price
(plus the amount of any additional capital investments made by Lessor in such
Leased Property) as
of the date the Award is paid to Lessor;
(ii) To
Lessor, to the extent of Lessor’s costs incurred, including reasonable legal
fees, in connection with obtaining the Award; and
(iii) To Lessor
and Lessee, in the ratio of seventy five percent (75%) to Lessor and twenty five
percent (25%) to Lessee.
The
provisions of this Section 15.4 shall not apply in the event Lessee purchases
the Leased Property pursuant to this Article XV but, in such event, the
provisions of Section 15.8 shall control with respect to the disposition of the
Condemnation Award.
15.5 Partial
Taking. If title to the fee of less than the whole of a Leased
Property shall be so taken or condemned, Lessee shall give Lessor Notice of such
partial taking or condemnation within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence
thereof. If such Leased Property is still suitable for its Primary
Intended Use, or if Lessee or Lessor shall be so entitled, but shall not elect
to terminate this Master Lease with respect to such Leased Property as provided
in Section 15.3 hereof, Lessee shall with all reasonable dispatch restore the
untaken portion of the Leased Improvements on such Leased Property so that such
Leased Improvements shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same
general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the
circumstances) as the Leased Improvements existing immediately prior to such
Condemnation or Taking. Lessee shall commence the restoration of the
Facility on such Leased Property within sixty (60) days of the Partial Taking,
and shall complete the restoration within the Reconstruction Period following
such Partial Taking. Lessor shall contribute to the cost of
restoration such portion of the Condemnation Award payable to Lessor, if any,
together with severance and other damages awarded for taken Leased Improvements,
provided, however, the amount of such contribution shall not exceed the cost of
restoration. As long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder,
if the Award is in an amount less than the Self-Administered Amount, Lessor
shall pay the same to Lessee. As long as no Event of Default has
occurred hereunder, if the Award is in an amount more than the Self-Administered
Amount, Lessor shall make the portion of the Award to which it is entitled
available to Lessee in the same manner as is provided in Section 14.9 for
insurance proceeds in excess of the Self-Administered
-49-
15.6 Temporary
Taking. The Taking of a Leased Property, or any part thereof,
by military or other public authority shall constitute a Taking by condemnation
only when the use and occupancy by the Condemnor has continued for longer than
six (6) months. During any such six (6) month period, all the
provisions of this Master Lease shall remain in full force and
effect. In the event of any Temporary Taking as in this Section 15.6
described, the entire amount of any Award made for such Taking allocable to the
Term of this Master Lease, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise,
shall be paid to Lessee, net of any amount required to cure any then uncured
Event of Default. Lessee covenants that upon the termination of any
such period of temporary use or occupancy as set forth in this Section 15.6, it
will restore such Leased Property as nearly as may be reasonably possible to the
condition existing immediately prior to such Taking. If any Temporary
Taking continues for longer than six (6) months, such Taking shall be considered
a Total Taking governed by Section 15.3, and the parties shall have the
rights provided thereunder.
15.7 Condemnation Awards Paid to
Facility Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event that any Facility Mortgagee is entitled to any
Condemnation Award, or any portion thereof, under the terms of any Facility
Mortgage, such award shall be applied, held and/or disbursed in accordance with
the terms of the Facility Mortgage. In the event that the Facility
Mortgagee elects to apply the Condemnation Award to the indebtedness secured by
the Facility Mortgage in the case of a Taking as to which the restoration
provisions of Section 15.5 apply, this Master Lease shall terminate as of the
date of the Taking as to the affected Leased Property, unless within fifteen
(15) days of the notice from the Facility Mortgagee Lessor agrees to make
available to Lessee for restoration of such Leased Property funds equal to the
amount applied by the Facility Mortgagee. Unless the Taking is such as to
entitle Lessor or Lessee to terminate this Master Lease as to the affected
Leased Property and Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, shall elect to
terminate this Master Lease as to the affected Leased Property in the time and
in the manner provided, Lessor shall disburse such funds to Lessee as provided
in Section 14.9 and Lessee shall restore such Leased Property (as nearly as
possible under the circumstances) to a complete architectural unit of the same
general character and condition as such Leased Property existing immediately
prior to such Taking.
-50-
15.8. Termination of Master Lease;
Abatement of Rent. In the event Lessee purchases the affected Leased
Property pursuant to this Article XV as a result of the Taking of all or any
portion of the Leased Property, then (i) this Master Lease shall terminate as to
such Leased Property upon payment of the purchase price set forth herein, (ii)
the Base Rent due hereunder from and after the effective date of such
termination shall be reduced by an amount determined by multiplying a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price for the affected
Leased Property and the denominator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price
for all of the Leased Properties then subject to the terms of this Master Lease
by the Base Rent payable under this Master Lease immediately prior to the
effective date of the termination of this Master Lease as to the affected Leased
Property and (iii) provided that Lessee is not then in default under this Master
Lease and then only to the extent not previously applied by Lessor, Lessor shall
remit to Lessee the entire Award pertaining to such Leased Property being held
by Lessor. Unless this Master Lease shall terminate pursuant to this Article XV
as to the affected Leased Property, this Master Lease shall remain in full force
and effect and Lessee’s obligation to make rental payments and to pay all other
charges required thereunder shall remain unabated during any period required for
repair and restoration required as a result of such Taking.

-51-
16.1.4 If any

or substantially all of the assets and liabilities of such Lessee with or to its
parent corporation or with or to another direct or indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of its parent corporation; or
16.1.5 If the
estate or interest of any Lessee in the Leased Properties leased by it or any

such Lessee is in the process of contesting such lien or attachment in good
faith in accordance with Section 12.1 hereof); or
16.1.6 If,
except as a result of damage, destruction or a Partial or Total Taking or

or
16.1.7 If with
respect to more than ten percent (10%) of the Facilities then subject to the
terms of this Master Lease either (i) the licenses to operate such Facilities

documents or obligations thereunder by which such Lessee is bound or to which
Lessee has agreed to become bound, which default is not cured within the
applicable time period; or
16.1.9 If a
default occurs under the Guaranty which default is not cured within any
applicable cure period; or
16.1.10 If

-52-
16.1.11 If
any obligation of any Lessee to repay borrowed money in excess of Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) is accelerated by the creditor thereof after default or any
other remedy available to such creditor or obligee is exercised because of such
default; or
16.1.12 A
default occurs under any contract or agreement or other lease between Lessor (or
any of its Affiliates) and Lessee (or any of its Affiliates), including, but not
limited to, the Amended Security Agreement and the Letter of Credit Agreement,
which is not cured within applicable cure periods, provided Lessor elects to
treat such default as an Event of Default; and provided further that nothing
herein shall be construed as including within the scope hereof a default under
any contract or agreement between an Affiliate of Lessor and an Affiliate of
Lessee relating to properties located outside of the United States;
or
16.1.13 If
any Lessee fails to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of
this Master Lease and the failure is not cured by such Lessee within a period of
thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Lessor, unless the failure cannot
with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case
the failure shall not be deemed to continue if Lessee proceeds promptly and with
due diligence to cure the failure and diligently completes the curing thereof,
provided, however, that Lessee completes the cure prior to either (x) the time
that the same causes a default under any provision of the Facility Mortgage by
which Lessee is bound or to which Lessee has agreed to be bound or under any
other lease to which Lessee is subject or (y) the time that the same results in
civil or criminal penalties to any Lessor, any Lessee or any Affiliates of
either, or to any Leased Property.
If any
Event of Default occurs, Lessor may terminate this Master Lease by giving Lessee
not less than ten (10) days’ Notice, whereupon as provided herein, the Term of
this Master Lease shall terminate and all rights of Lessee hereunder shall
cease. The Notice provided for herein shall be in lieu of and not in
addition to any notice required by the laws of the State as a condition to
bringing an action for possession of the Facilities or to recover damages under
this Master Lease. In addition thereto, Lessor shall have all rights
at law and in equity available as a result of Lessee’s breach.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as
set forth in Section 16.1.2., 16.1.3, 16.1.9 or 16.1.10, Lessor may
terminate this Master Lease immediately without Notice of any kind.
Lessee
will, to the extent permitted by law, be liable for the payment, as Additional
Charges, of costs of and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lessor as a
consequence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees (whether or not litigation is commenced, and if litigation is
commenced, including fees and expenses incurred in appeals and post-judgment
proceedings) as a result of any default of Lessee hereunder.
No Event
of Default (other than a failure to make payment of money) shall be deemed to
exist under Section 16.1 during any time the curing thereof is prevented by an
Unavoidable Delay, provided that upon the cessation of the Unavoidable Delay,
Lessee remedies the default without further delay.
-53-
16.2 Certain
Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred, and whether or
not this Master Lease has been terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee
shall, to the extent permitted by law, if required by Lessor so to do,
immediately surrender to Lessor all of the Leased Properties pursuant to the
provisions of Section 9.1.7 and quit the same, and Lessor may enter upon and
repossess all of the Leased Properties by reasonable force, summary proceedings,
ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Lessee and all other persons and any and
all Personal Property from the Leased Properties subject to rights of any
residents or patients and to any requirement of law. Lessor shall not
have the right to exercise its remedies as to less than all of the Leased
Properties since such Leased Properties constitute a single integrated economic
unit as stated in Section 1.2.
16.3 Damages. Neither
(i) the termination of this Master Lease pursuant to Section 16.1, (ii) the
repossession of the Leased Properties, (iii) the failure of Lessor to relet the
Leased Properties, (iv) the reletting of all or any portion of any of the Leased
Properties, nor (v) the inability of Lessor to collect or receive any
rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Lessee of its liability and
obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination,
repossession or reletting. In the event of any termination, Lessee
shall be liable for the payment to Lessor of all Rent due and payable to and
including the date of the termination, including without limitation all interest
and late charges payable under Section 3.4 hereof and thereafter for the payment
to Lessor at Lessor’s option, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages
for such default, either:
|
(1)
|
the
sum of:
|
(a) the worth
at the time of award of the unpaid Base Rent and Additional Charges which had
been earned at the time of termination,
(b) the worth
at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent and Additional
Charges which would have been earned after termination until the time of award
exceeds the amount of the rental loss that Lessee proves was avoided or could
have been reasonably avoided,
(c) the worth
at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent and Additional
Charges for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount
of such rental loss that Lessee proves could be avoided, and
(d) intentionally
omitted, and
(e) any other
amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused
by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under the terminated Lease or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom.
-54-
In making
the above determinations, the “worth at the time of award” shall be determined
using the lowest rate of capitalization (highest present worth) applicable at
the time of the determination and allowed by applicable laws of the
State. If the laws of the State do not provide for a rate of
capitalization, then the worth at the time of award shall be computed by
discounting such amount at the Federal Reserve Discount rate for the State,
applicable at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%). Lessor’s
net income from its operation of the Leased Property, if any, shall be included
in the determination of amounts of rental loss that Lessee proves could
reasonably be or were avoided.
OR
(2) without
termination of Lessee’s right to possession of the Leased Property, each
installment of the Rent and other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor as the same
becomes due and payable, which Rent and other sums shall bear interest at the
maximum annual rate permitted by the law of the State from the date when due
until paid, and Lessor may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or
covenant of this Master Lease.
16.4 Waiver. If
this Master Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee waives, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of reentry, repossession
or redesignation, (ii) any right to a trial by jury in the event of summary
proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Article XVI, and (iii) the
benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability
for rent or for debt. Acceptance of Rent at any time does not
prejudice or remove any right of Lessor as to any right or remedy. No
course of conduct shall be held to bar Lessor from literal enforcement of the
terms of this Master Lease.
16.5 Application of
Funds. Any payments received by Lessor during the existence or
continuance of any Event of Default (and any payment made to Lessor rather than
Lessee due to the existence of an Event of Default, shall be applied to Lessee’s
obligations in the order which Lessor may determine or as may be prescribed by
the laws of the State.
16.6 Availability of
Remedies. Lessor may exercise its remedies hereunder to the
maximum extent permitted by the laws of the State. It shall not be a defense in
any proceeding brought in connection with this Master Lease that with respect to
other leases or contracts to which Lessor (or Lessor’s Affiliates) and Lessee
(or Lessee’s Affiliates) are parties, Lessor or its Affiliates have sought
different remedies in different states or in the State.

17.1 Rights to Cure
Default.
17.1.1 Lessor’s
Rights. If Lessee fails to make any payment or to perform any
act required to be made or performed under this Master Lease, and fails to cure
the same within the relevant time periods provided in Section 16.1, without
further Notice to or demand upon Lessee, and without waiving or releasing any
obligation of Lessee or waiving or releasing any default, Lessor may (but shall
be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform
such act for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to the extent
permitted by law, enter upon all or any part of any Leased Property for such
purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lessor’s reasonable opinion, may
be necessary or appropriate therefor, provided, however, that if Notice is
required under Section 16 but Lessor reasonably determines that the giving of
the required Notice before making such payment or taking such action would risk
material loss to the Facilities, then Lessor will give such Notice as is
practical under the circumstances. No such entry shall be deemed an
eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) so incurred, together with a late charge thereon (to the extent
permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or
expenses are paid or incurred by Lessor, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on
written demand. The obligations of Lessee and rights of Lessor
contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Master Lease.
-55-
17.1.2 Lessee’s
Rights. If Lessor fails to make any payment or to perform any
act expressly required under this Master Lease, and fails to cure the same
within the relevant time periods provided in Section 33.1 upon Notice to Lessor
but without waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessor, Lessee may (but shall
be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform
such act for the account and at the expense of Lessor, and may, take all such
action thereon as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate
therefor. All sums so paid by Lessee and all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so
incurred, shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee following written
demand. The obligations of Lessor and the rights of Lessee contained
in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Master Lease.
ARTICLE
XVIII
18.1 Holding
Over. Except as provided in Sections 18.2 and 18.3, if Lessee
shall for any reason remain in possession of any Leased Property after the
expiration or earlier expiration of the Term, such possession shall be as a
month-to-month tenant during which time Lessee shall pay as rental each month,
two (2) times the aggregate of (i) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the aggregate Base
Rent payable with respect to the affected portion of the Leased Property during
the last Lease Year of the preceding Term, (ii) all Additional Charges related
to the affected portion of the Leased Property accruing during the month, and
(iii) all other sums, if any, payable by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of
this Master Lease with respect to the affected portion of the Leased
Property. During such period of month-to-month tenancy, Lessee shall
be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions
of this Master Lease, but shall have no rights thereunder other than the right,
to the extent given by law to month-to-month tenancies, to continue its
occupancy and use of such Leased Property until the month-to-month tenancy is
terminated. Except as provided in Section 18.2, nothing contained
herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the
holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Master Lease. For purposes hereof, the Base Rent to be allocated to the
affected Leased Property(ies) shall be determined by multiplying a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price of the affected Leased
Property(ies) and the denominator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price
of all of the Leased Properties subject to the terms of this Master Lease on the
last day of the Term, by the Base Rent payable hereunder on the last day of the
Term.
-56-
18.2 Continuing
Clean-Up. If on the last day of the Term of this Master Lease
Lessee is obligated to complete a Clean-Up of any Leased Property which Clean-Up
was commenced prior to the last day of the Term of this Master Lease, then at
the option of Lessor either (i) Lessee shall remain in possession of such Leased
Property subject to the terms of this Master Lease, for such period as may
reasonably be required for Lessee to diligently complete the Clean-Up, which
period, unless otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee, shall not exceed three
hundred sixty-five (365) consecutive days, or (ii) Lessee shall vacate the
Leased Premises on the last day of the Term of this Master Lease as elsewhere
required herein and at such time pay to Lessor the amount reasonably required to
complete the Clean-Up after the expiration of the Term, together with the
reasonably estimated Fair Market Rental Value of such Leased Property to be lost
by Lessor during the remaining period of Clean-Up assuming a diligent effort to
complete such Clean-Up. If Lessor elects alternative “(i)” in the
preceding sentence, the Base Rent for such Leased Property shall be one hundred
five percent (105%) of the Base Rent allocated to the affected portion of the
Leased Property for the Lease Year during which the last day of the Term of such
occurred, and Lessee shall not be deemed to be holding over pursuant to Section
18.1 hereof. For purposes hereof, the Base Rent to be allocated to the affected
Leased Property(ies) shall be determined by multiplying a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price of the affected Leased
Property(ies) and the denominator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price
of all of the Leased Properties subject to the terms of this Master Lease on the
last day of the Term, by the Base Rent payable hereunder on the last day of the
Term.
18.3 Post Termination Transition.
In the event Lessee remains in possession of all or any portion of the
Leased Properties after the expiration or earlier termination of this Master
Lease at the request of Lessor pending the transition of all or any portion of
the Leased Properties to Lessor or its designee pursuant to Section 34.2 hereof,
the Rent due from Lessee hereunder shall be equal to the Rent paid by Lessee
immediately prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease
with respect to such Leased Property(ies).
18.4 Indemnity. If
Lessee fails to surrender any Leased Property in a timely manner and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1.7 upon the expiration or
termination of this Master Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Lessor
accruing therefrom, Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor, its principals,
officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from loss or liability
resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, loss of rental with respect to any new lease in which the rental
payable thereunder exceeds any rental paid by Lessee and any claims by any
proposed new tenant founded on such failure. The provisions of this
Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Master
Lease.
ARTICLE
XIX
19.1 Subordination. Upon
written request of Lessor, any Facility Mortgagee, or the beneficiary of any
deed of trust of Lessor, Lessee will subordinate its rights in writing (i) to
the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or the interest of any lease in which
Lessor is the lessee and to all modifications, extensions, substitutions thereof
(or, at Lessor’s option, cause the lien of said mortgage, deed of trust or the
interest of any lease in which Lessor is the lessee to be subordinated to
the Lease), and (ii) to all advances made or hereafter to be
made thereunder. In
-57-
19.2 Attornment. If
any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or if the power of sale is
exercised under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Lessor encumbering any
Leased Property, or if a lease in which Lessor is the lessee is terminated,
Lessee shall attorn to the purchaser or lessor under such lease upon any
foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, sale or lease termination and recognize the
purchaser or lessor as Lessor under this Master Lease, provided that the
purchaser or lessor acquires and accepts such Leased Property subject to this
Master Lease. For purposes hereof, the Base Rent to be allocated to the
affected Leased Properties shall be determined by multiplying a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price of the affected Leased
Property and the denominator of which shall be the Minimum Purchase Price of all
of the Leased Properties subject to the terms of this Master Lease immediately
prior to such foreclosure or the conveyance of title to the affected Leased
Property(ies) by deed in lieu of foreclosure, by the Base Rent payable hereunder
immediately prior to such foreclosure or the conveyance of title to the affected
Leased Property(ies) by deed in lieu of foreclosure.
19.3 Estoppel
Certificate. Lessee and Lessor each agree, upon not less than
ten (10) days prior Notice from the other (“Requesting Party”),
to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other, a statement in writing in
substantially the same form as Exhibit H attached
hereto (with such changes thereto as may reasonably be requested by the person
relying on such certificate) (“Estoppel
Certificate”). It is intended that any Estoppel Certificate
delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by the Requesting Party, any
prospective tenant or purchaser of any Leased Property, any mortgagee or
prospective mortgagee, or by any other party who may reasonably rely on such
statement. Lessee’s failure to deliver the Estoppel Certificate
within such time shall constitute an Event of Default, and Lessor’s failure to
deliver the Estoppel Certificate within such time shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 33.1, below. If the Estoppel Certificate is not
delivered within the ten (10) day period, then, in addition, the Requesting
Party is authorized to execute and deliver a certificate to the effect that (i)
this Master Lease is in full force and effect without modification, and (ii) the
other party is not in breach or default of any of its obligations under this
Master Lease.

20.1 Risk of
Loss. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein,
during the Term of this Master Lease, the risk of loss or of decrease in the
enjoyment and beneficial use of the Leased Properties in consequence of the
damage thereto or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts,
riots, wars or otherwise, or in consequence of foreclosures, attachments, levies
or executions (other than those caused by Lessor and those claiming from,
through or under Lessor) is assumed by Lessee, and, in the absence of gross
negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Master Lease by Lessor
pursuant to Section 33.1, Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable
therefor nor shall any of the events mentioned in this Section entitle Lessee to
(i) terminate this Master Lease or (ii) to any abatement of Rent except as
specifically provided in this Master Lease.

21.1 Lessee
Indemnification. Notwithstanding the existence of any
insurance or self-insurance provided for in Article XIII, and without regard to
the policy limits of any such insurance or self-insurance, Lessee will protect,
indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessor, its principals, officers, directors
and agents and employees from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), to the extent permitted by
law, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted
against Lessor by reason of: (i) any accident, injury to or death of
persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or after the Possession
Date on or about any Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks which are under
Lessee’s control, including without limitation any claims of malpractice, (ii)
any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance or repair by Lessee of any
Leased Property, (iii) the failure to pay any Impositions which are the
obligations of Lessee to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions of this
Master Lease, (iv) any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with
any of the terms of this Master Lease, including, but not limited to, a breach
of Lessee’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 8.1, and (v) the
nonperformance of any contractual obligation, express or implied, assumed or
undertaken by Lessee or any party in privity with Lessee with respect to any
Leased Property or any business or other activity carried on with respect to any
Leased Property during the period commencing on the Possession Date and
continuing through the Term or thereafter during any time in which Lessee or any
such other party is in possession of any Leased Property or thereafter to the
extent that any conduct by Lessee or any such person (or failure of such conduct
thereby if the same should have been undertaken during such time of possession
and leads to such damage or loss) causes such loss or claim. Any
amounts which become payable by Lessee under this Section shall be paid within
ten (10) days after liability therefor on the part of Lessee is determined by
litigation or otherwise, and if not timely paid, shall bear a late charge (to
the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date of such
determination to the date of payment. Nothing herein shall be
construed as indemnifying Lessor against its own grossly negligent acts or
omissions or willful misconduct.
21.2 Lessor
Indemnification. Lessor will indemnify Lessee, its principals,
officers, directors and agents and employees from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), to the
extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessee
by reason of (i) a breach of Lessor’s representations or warranties set forth in
Section 8.2 or (ii) Lessor’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
-59-
21.3 Survival. The
liability of each indemnifying party under the provisions of this Article for a
claim arising out of events occurring during the Term shall survive any
termination of this Master Lease. The respective representations and
warranties made in this Master Lease by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the other party to this Master Lease or any officer, director or
employee of, or person controlling or under common control with, such
party.

22.1 General Prohibition against
Assignment. Lessee shall not voluntarily, involuntarily or by
operation of law, assign, mortgage or otherwise encumber all or any part of
Lessee’s interest in this Master Lease or in any Leased Property or sublet the
whole or any part of any Leased Property or enter any other arrangement (other
than a management agreement which shall be governed by Section 8.6 above) under
which any Facility is operated by or licensed to be operated by an entity other
than Lessee (any and all of which are herein referred to as a “Transfer”), except as
specifically permitted hereunder or consented to in advance by Lessor in
writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided
that the proposed transferee does not fall within the prohibited conditions set forth in Exhibit
G). Consent to any subletting or assignment shall not be deemed to
be consent to any further subletting or assignment. In the event of
any such Transfer, Lessor may collect rent and other charges from the assignee,
subtenant or other occupant (any and all of which are herein referred to as a
“Transferee”)
and apply the amounts collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved,
but no Transfer or collection of rent and other charges shall be deemed to be a
waiver of Lessor’s rights to enforce Lessee’s covenants under this Master Lease
or the acceptance of the Transferee as lessee, or a release of Lessee from the
performance of any covenants on the part of Lessee to be
performed. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Lessee and any Guarantor
shall remain fully liable for the performance of all terms, covenants and
provisions of this Master Lease. Any violation of this Master Lease
by any Transferee shall be deemed to be a violation of this Master Lease by
Lessee. Lessee’s incidental space sharing arrangements (by lease
agreement or otherwise) with third parties for beauty shop and similar services
shall not be deemed to constitute a Transfer. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Master Lease to the contrary, each Lessee shall have the
right, upon notice to Lessor, to transfer its interest under this Master Lease
(whether by assignment, merger or otherwise) to any entity that is an Affiliate
of Sun so long as (i) such Affiliate is duly licensed under applicable State law
to operate the affected portion of the Leased Properties and, if applicable,
certified to participate in Medicare or Medicaid in connection with its
operations thereat and (ii) such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the
terms of this Master Lease and Sun acknowledges in writing that such transfer
shall not impair or in any way exonerate Sun’s obligations as Guarantor pursuant
to the terms of the Guaranty.
22.2 Corporate or Partnership
Transactions. If any Lessee, any Guarantor, any Facility
manager which is an Affiliate of Lessee or any Guarantor or any member of any
Lessee is a corporation or limited liability company, then, except as otherwise
provided in this Section 22.2, the merger, consolidation or reorganization of
such corporation or limited liability company and/or the sale, issuance, or
transfer, cumulatively or in one transaction, of any voting stock or

22.3 Subordination and
Attornment. Lessee shall insert in any sublease permitted by
Lessor provisions to the effect that (i) such sublease is subject and
subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Master Lease and to the
rights of Lessor thereunder, (ii) if this Master Lease terminates before the
expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Lessor’s option,
attorn to Lessor and waive any right the sublessee may have to terminate the
sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a result of the termination
of this Master Lease, and (iii) if the sublessee receives a written
Notice from Lessor or Lessor’s assignee, if any, stating that an Event of
Default has occurred under this Master Lease, the sublessee shall thereafter be
obligated to pay all rentals accruing under said sublease directly to the party
giving such Notice, or as such party may direct. All rentals received
from the sublessee by Lessor or Lessor’s assignees, if any, as the case may be,
shall be credited against the amounts owing by Lessee under this Master
Lease.
22.4 Sublease
Limitation. No sublease of any Leased Property is permitted,
except as specifically set forth in attached Exhibit
G. If a sublease of any Leased Property is permitted under
attached Exhibit
G, nonetheless, Lessee shall not sublet such Leased Property on any basis

whole or in part, on either (i) the income or profits derived by the business
activities of the sublessee, or (ii) any other formula such that any portion of

in connection with syndications, private placements or public offerings of
Lessor’s securities or interests, and any other reporting requirements under
applicable Federal and State Laws, including those of any successor to
Lessor. Unless otherwise agreed by Lessee or Guarantor, Lessor shall
not revise or change the wording of information previously publicly disclosed by
Lessee or Guarantor and furnished to Lessor pursuant to Section 23.1 or this
Section 23.2. Lessee agrees to provide such other reasonable

transactions with respect to the stock or other equity or debt securities of Sun

Act.

Waiver. No failure by Lessor to insist upon the strict
performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of
any such breach or of any such term. No waiver of any breach shall

with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

Lessor under this Master Lease arising or accruing from and after the date of

action by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor, but subject to
all liens and encumbrances of record as of the Commencement Date or thereafter
provided for in this Master Lease or consented to by Lessee. Except

the foregoing covenant shall give Lessee any right to cancel or terminate this
Master Lease or abate, reduce or make a deduction from or offset against the
Rent or any other sum payable under such Lease, or to fail to perform
any other obligation of Lessee. Lessee shall, however, have the
right, by separate and independent action, to pursue any claim it may have
against Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant of quiet
enjoyment contained in this Article.

32.1 Right of First Opportunity. Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, in the event Lessor determines that
it wants to sell the Non-Litchfield Facilities at any time during the Initial
Continuing Term or any Renewal Term, Lessor shall first in writing offer to
enter into negotiations for such sale with the applicable Lessee or any
Affiliate of such Lessee (a “Seller’s Notice”). If the
applicable Lessee or an Affiliate thereof (“Buyer”) shall within
ten (10) days from receipt of Seller’s Notice give Seller Notice ( a “Buyer’s Notice”) that it
wishes to enter into good faith negotiations for the purchase of the Leased
Properties (a “Notice of Interest”)
within the above-described ten (10) day period, Seller and Buyer shall enter
into good faith negotiations for a period of thirty (30) days from Seller’s

32.2 Appraisers. If
it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property
for any purpose of this Lease, Lessor and Lessee shall first attempt to agree on
such Fair Market Rental. If Lessor and Lessee are not able to so
agree within a reasonable period of time not to exceed forty-five (45) days,
then Lessor and Lessee shall attempt to agree upon a single appraiser to make
such determination. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon a
single arbitrator within thirty (30) days thereafter, then the party required or
permitted to give Notice of such required determination shall include in the
Notice the name of a person selected to act as appraiser on its
behalf. Within ten (10) days after such Notice, Lessor (or Lessee, as
the case may be) shall by Notice to Lessee (or Lessor, as the case may be)
appoint a second person as appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers
thus appointed, each of whom must be a member of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (or any successor organization thereto) and experienced in
appraising nursing home properties, shall, within forty-five (45) days after the
date of the Notice appointing the first appraiser, proceed to appraise the
Leased Property to determine the Fair Market Rental thereof as of the relevant
date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation from the date of their
decision to the relevant date); provided, however, that if only one appraiser
has been so appointed, or if two appraisers have been so appointed but only one
such appraiser has made such determination within fifty (50) days after the
making of Lessee’s or Lessor’s request, then the determination of such appraiser
shall be final and binding upon the parties. If two appraisers have
been appointed and have made their determinations within the respective
requisite periods set forth above and if the difference between the amounts so
determined does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then

This
provision for determining by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the
extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination
hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties except as otherwise
provided by applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay the fees
and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and each shall pay one-half (½) of
the fees and expenses of the third appraiser and one-half (½) of all other costs
and expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.

33.1 Breach by
Lessor. Lessor shall not be in breach of this Master Lease
unless Lessor fails to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of
this Master Lease on its part to be performed and such failure continues for a
period of thirty (30) days after Lessor receives written Notice from Lessee
specifying such failure and the necessary curative action. If the
failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days,
the failure shall not be deemed to continue if Lessor, within said thirty (30)
day period, proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the failure and
diligently completes the curing thereof, such additional time not to exceed
thirty (30) days. The time within which Lessor shall be obligated to
cure any such failure shall also be subject to extension of time due to the
occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay.
33.2 Compliance With Facility
Mortgages. Lessee covenants and agrees that it will duly and
punctually observe, perform and comply with all of the terms, covenants and
conditions (including, without limitation, covenants requiring the keeping of
books and records and delivery of Financial Statements) of any Facility
Mortgage(s) and that it will not directly or indirectly do any act or suffer or
permit any condition or thing to occur which would or might constitute a default
under the Facility Mortgage. Anything hereof to the contrary
notwithstanding, Lessee shall be obligated to conform to the additional
reporting and other requirements of a Facility Mortgage which are not also
requirements hereunder, only if Lessee is specifically made aware of such
additional requirements and consents thereto in advance. Lessee shall
have no liability for any payments of principal or interest under any Facility
Mortgage.

34.1 Facility Trade
Names. If this Master Lease is terminated by reason of an
Event of Default or Lessor exercises its option to purchase Lessee’s Personal
Property pursuant to Section 35.1, Lessor shall be permitted to use the name(s)
under which any Facility has done business during the Term (the “Facility Trade
Names”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as
granting Lessor any right to use the name “SunBridge” or “Sun” or “Mediplex”or
“Harborside” or “Peak” any variation thereof. Lessee shall not, after any
termination of this Master Lease, use any Facility Trade Name in the same market
in which any of the Facilities is located in connection with any business that
competes with any Facility.
34.2 Transfer of Operational
Control of the Facilities. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term other than as a result of the purchased of the Leased
Properties by Lessee pursuant to Section 32,
(a) Lessee
shall enter into one or more OTAs in the form of Exhibit E hereto with
respect to the Leased Properties and shall transfer operational control of the
Facilities to Lessor or Lessor’s nominee pursuant to the terms of such
OTAs,
(b) To the extent permitted by law, Lessee
shall provide all necessary information requested by Lessor or its nominee for
the preparation and filing of any and all necessary applications or
notifications of any federal or state governmental authority having jurisdiction
over a change in the operational control of the Leased Properties, and Lessee
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the operating healthcare
licenses held by Lessee to be transferred to Lessor or to Lessor’s nominee or shall cooperate in the
efforts of Lessor or Lessor’s nominee to secure operating
healthcare licenses with respect to the Leased Properties in its own
name,
(c) Lessee
shall engage only in transactions or other activities with respect to the Leased
Properties which are in the ordinary course of business and shall perform all
maintenance and repairs reasonably necessary to keep the Leased Properties in
satisfactory operating condition and repair, and shall maintain the
supplies and foodstuffs at levels which are consistent and in compliance with
all health care regulations, and shall not sell or remove any Personal Property
except in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that (i) Lessee
shall have no obligation to make any Material Capital Improvements to any of the
Leased Properties unless Lessor agrees to pay for the cost thereof and (ii)
Lessee shall have no liability for any damage which may be suffered by it or
Lessor as a result of the failure of Lessee to make any such Material Capital
Improvements; provided, further, that nothing herein shall affect any claims
which Lessor may have against Lessee in the event this Master Lease was
terminated as a result of an Event of Default,
(d) To
more fully preserve and protect Lessor’s rights under this Section 34.2, Lessee
does hereby make, constitute and appoint Lessor its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, for it and in its name, place and stead to execute and deliver
all such instruments and documents, and to do all such other acts and things, as
Lessor may deem to be necessary or desirable to protect and preserve the rights
granted under this Section

34.3 Intangibles and Personal
Property. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof but
subject to Section 6.4 relating to the security interest in favor of Lessor,
Lessor’s Personal Property shall not include goodwill nor shall it include any
other intangible personal property that is severable from Lessor’s “interests in
real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar
or successor provision thereto. All of Lessor’s Personal Property is
leased to Lessee pursuant to the terms hereof.

35.1 Arbitration. Except
with respect to (i) the payment of Rent, and (ii) any proceedings for possession
of any Leased Property, or (iii) valuation questions that are to be resolved by
appraisal as set forth in Section 33, hereof, in case any controversy arises
between the parties hereto as to any of the requirements of this Master Lease or
the performance thereof, and the parties are unable to settle the controversy by
agreement or as otherwise provided herein, the controversy shall be resolved by
arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators
selected in accordance with the procedures of the American Arbitration
Association and in accordance with its rules and procedures. The
decision of the arbitrators shall be final, binding and enforceable and judgment
may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. The
decision shall set forth in writing the basis for the decision. In
rendering the decision and award, the arbitrators shall not add to, subtract
from, or otherwise modify the provisions of this Master Lease. The
expense of the arbitration shall be divided between Lessor and Lessee unless
otherwise specified in the award. Each party in interest shall pay
the fees and expenses of its own counsel. Lessor and Lessee shall
attempt to agree on a location for the arbitration, and if they are unable to
agree within a reasonable period of time, then the arbitration shall be
conducted in Baltimore, Maryland. In any arbitration, the parties
shall be entitled to conduct discovery in the same manner as permitted under
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26 through 37. No provision in this
Article shall limit the right of any party to this Master Lease to obtain
provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before,
after, or during the pendency of any arbitration, and the exercise of any such
remedy does not waive the right of either party to arbitration.

threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be
sought under this Section unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A)
includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability

PROCESS MAY BE EFFECTED UPON IT UNDER ANY METHOD PERMISSIBLE UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF MARYLAND, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE IN THE
STATES OF MARYLAND OR, TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF, LOCATED IN THE
STATES.
37.2 Limitation on
Recovery. Lessee specifically agrees to look solely to
Lessor’s interest in the Leased Properties covered by this Master Lease for
recovery of any judgment from Lessor or Omega, it being specifically agreed that
no constituent shareholder, member, manager, officer or director of Lessor shall
ever be personally liable for any such judgment or for the payment of any
monetary obligation to Lessee. Furthermore, neither Lessor (original
or successor) nor Omega shall ever be liable to Lessee for any indirect or
consequential damages suffered by Lessee from whatever cause.
37.3 Consents. Whenever
the consent or approval of Lessor is required hereunder, Lessor may in its sole
discretion and without reason withhold that consent or approval unless otherwise
specifically provided. Lessee’s consent with respect to Legal
Requirements shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld or delayed if
Lessee determines that the requested covenant, agreement, restriction or
encumbrance to be created by Lessor would materially and adversely affect
Lessee’s leasehold rights hereunder.
37.4 Counterparts. This
Master Lease may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be
considered an original when each party has executed and delivered to the other
one or more copies of this Master Lease.
37.5 Options
Personal. The renewal options granted to the Lessee in this
Master Lease are granted solely to the Lessee and are not assignable or
transferable except in connection with a transfer or assignment of this Master
Lease as permitted in Article XXII. Any attempt to assign or transfer
such options shall be void and of no force and effect.
-73-
37.6 Rights
Cumulative. Except as provided herein to the contrary, the
respective rights and remedies of the parties specified in this Master Lease
shall be cumulative and in addition to any rights and remedies not specified in
this Master Lease.
37.7 Entire
Agreement. There are no oral or written agreements or
representations between the parties hereto affecting this Master Lease. Except
as otherwise provided in Article XXXVI, this Master Lease supersedes and cancels
any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, representations, brochures,
agreements and understandings, if any, between Lessor and Lessee with respect to
this Master Lease including, but not limited to, the Existing Sun Master Lease
and any and all documents executed in contemplation thereof or pursuant thereto,
including the Forbearance Agreement dated as of October 13, 1999 among Lessor,
Lessees, Sun and certain Affiliates thereof (the “Forbearance
Agreement”). Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the
Harborside Master Lease has been terminated and the Peak Litchfield Lease has
expired according to its terms.
37.8 Amendment in
Writing. No provision of this Master Lease may be amended
except by an agreement in writing signed by Lessor and Lessee.
37.9 Severability. If
any provision of this Master Lease or the application of such provision to any
person, entity or circumstance is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the other provisions
of this Master Lease and all other provisions of this Master Lease shall be
deemed valid and enforceable.
37.10 Successors. The
term “Lessor” shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of fee
title to the Leased Properties. In the event of any transfer of the
Lessor’s interest in this Master Lease, Lessor named in this Master
Lease (and in case of any subsequent transfers, the then grantor) shall be
relieved from and after the date of the transfer of all liability as respects
Lessor’s obligations to be performed thereafter. Any funds in the
hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of the transfer, in which Lessee
has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. All rights and
obligations of Lessor and Lessee under this Master Lease shall extend to and
bind the respective heirs, executors, administrators and the permitted
concessionaires, successors, subtenants and assignees of the
parties. If there is more than one (1) Lessee under this Master
Lease, each shall be bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and
agreements contained therein.
37.11 Time of the
Essence. Time is of the essence of all provisions of this
Master Lease of which time is an element.
ARTICLE
XXXVIII
38.1 Commissions. Each
party represents and warrants to the other that no real estate commission,
finder’s fee or the like is due and owing to any person in connection with this
Master Lease. Each party agrees to save, indemnify and hold the other
harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities or obligations for
brokerage, finder’s fees or the like in connection with this Master Lease or the
transactions contemplated hereby, asserted by any person on the basis of any
statement or act alleged to have been made or taken by the indemnifying
party.

ARTICLE
XXXIX
39.1 Memorandum of
Lease. Lessor and Lessee shall, promptly upon the request of
either, enter into a short form memorandum of this Master Lease, in form
suitable for recording under the laws of the State, in which reference to
the Lease, and all options contained therein, shall be made. Lessee
shall pay all costs and expenses of recording such memorandum.

40.1 Security Deposit.
Guarantor
previously delivered a Security Deposit in the amount of Three Hundred Sixty Two
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($362,500) to Lessor in the form of a Letter of
Credit, which Lessor had been holding as security for the full and faithful
performance by Lessee of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition
of this Master Lease (the “Peak
L/C”). In addition, pursuant to the Harborside Master Lease,
the Harborside Lessee had delivered a Security Deposit in the amount of Eight
Hundred Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($837,500) to Lessor in the
form of a Letter of Credit (the “Harborside L/C” and
together with the Peak L/C, the “LCs”), which Lessor
had been holding as security for the full and faithful performance by the
Harborside Lessee of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of
the Harborside Master Lease. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree
that from and after the Effective Date, the LCs shall be subject to the terms
and conditions of the Letter of Credit Agreement, and shall be held by Lessor as
security for the full and faithful performance by the Lessee of each and every
term, provision, covenant and condition of this Master Lease. If at
any time the Security Deposit is in the form of cash, it shall be deposited by
Lessor into an account which shall earn interest, which interest shall be added
to, and become part of, the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit
shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent (or of any other sum payable
to Lessor under this Lease) or a measure of Lessor’s damages in case of a
default by Lessee. The Security Deposit shall not be considered a
trust fund, and Lessee expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lessor is not
acting as a trustee or in any fiduciary capacity in controlling or using the
Security Deposit. Lessor shall have no obligation to maintain the
Security Deposit separate and apart from Lessor’s general and/or other
funds. The Security Deposit, less any portion thereof applied as
provided in the Letter of Credit Agreement or in Section 40.2 shall be returned
to Lessee within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the
Term.
40.2 Application of Security
Deposit. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lessor may, but shall not be required to, in addition to and
not in lieu of any of the rights and remedies available to Lessor, use and apply
all or any part of the Security Deposit to the payment of any sum in default, or
any other sum, including, but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in
reletting the Leased Properties, which Lessor may expend or be required to
expend by reason of the existence of such Event of Default. Whenever,
and as often as, Lessor has applied any portion of the Security Deposit to cure
(in whole or in part) an Event of Default, Lessee shall, within ten (10) days
after Notice from Lessor, deliver a new letter of credit to Lessor (or, at
Lessor’s option, deposit additional money with Lessor) sufficient to restore the
Security Deposit to the full amount originally provided or paid, and Lessee’s
failure to do so shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder without any
further Notice.
-75-
40.3 Transfer of Security
Deposit. If Lessor transfers its interest under this Lease,
Lessor shall assign the Security Deposit to the new lessor and thereafter Lessor
shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit, and
Lessee agrees to look solely to the new lessor for the return of the Security
Deposit. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to
every transfer of assignment of Lessor’s interest under this
Lease. Lessee agrees that it will not assign or encumber or attempt
to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and that Lessor, its successors and
assigns, may return the Security Deposit to the least Lessee in possession at
the last address for Notice given by such Lessee and that Lessor shall
thereafter be relieved of any liability therefor, regardless of one or more
assignments of this Lease or any such actual or attempted assignment or
encumbrances of the Security Deposit.
