RECITALS
 
The circumstances underlying the execution of this Master Lease are as follows:
 
A. Capitalized terms used in this Master Lease and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Article II hereof.
 
B. Pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement dated as of February 1, 2008, as amended by a First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement dated as of August 26, 2008, and a Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Master Lease dated as of February 26, 2009 (the “Existing Sun Master Lease”), among certain of the entities comprising Lessor, certain of the entities comprising Lessee, Omega and SHG, Lessee leases from Lessor, as of the Amended Lease Release Date, forty (40) long term nursing, rehabilitation hospitals or other health care facilities.
 
C. Pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty, dated as of February 1, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ExistingGuaranty”), SHG guaranteed the obligations of each of the entities comprising Lessee under the Existing Sun Master Lease.
 
D. Pursuant to separate Guaranties dated as of February 1, 2008, each of Harborside Guarantor and the Peak Guarantor guaranteed the obligations of each of the entities comprising Lessee under the Existing Sun Master Lease.  Concurrently herewith, the Harborside Guarantor and the Peak Guarantor have ratified and affirmed their obligations under such guaranties.
 
E. Pursuant to the Agreement Re Separation, SHG, New Sun, and Omega agreed, among other things, as of the Amended Lease Release Date to (i) amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Sun Master Lease as set forth in this Master Lease, (ii) terminate the Existing Guaranty, and (ii) replace the Existing Guaranty with a new guaranty from New Sun.
 
G.           A list of the forty (40) facilities covered by this Master Lease as of the Commencement Date is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Facilities”)
 
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 Amended Lease Release Date, Lessor shall continue to lease to Lessee, and Lessee shall continue to lease from Lessor, the Leased Properties upon which the forty (40) Facilities listed on attached Exhibit A 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 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:
 
 
(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.
 
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), 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.

(i) commenced on December 1, 2003 and shall end on December 31, 2013 for the Continued Facilities; and

(c) During the period covered by each Option to Renew, except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, all of the terms and conditions of this Master Lease shall remain in full force and effect; and,
 
(d) Lessee may exercise its Option to Renew with respect to all (and no fewer than all) of the Facilities which are subject to this Master Lease at the time of exercise of each Option to Renew, it being understood and agreed, however, that upon the exercise of the first Option to Renew, the affect shall be to automatically renew the Initial Litchfield Term upon the expiration thereof not upon the earlier expiration of the Initial Continued Term.

ARTICLE IV                                
 
4.1 Payment of Impositions.  Subject to Section 12.1 relating to permitted contests, Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and will promptly, upon request, furnish to Lessor copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments.  If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term hereof (subject to Lessee’s right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.1) as the same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto.  If any provision of any Facility Mortgage requires deposits for payment of real estate taxes or other Impositions to be made with such Facility Mortgagee, Lessee shall either pay to Lessor monthly the amounts required and Lessor shall transfer the amounts to such Facility Mortgagee, or, pursuant to written direction by Lessor, Lessee shall make such deposits directly with such Facility Mortgagee.  Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable law, prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by governmental authorities in respect of Lessor’s net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Lessee, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by governmental authorities.  If any refund is due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Lessee, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Lessee if no Event of Default has occurred hereunder and is continuing.  Any such funds retained by Lessor due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided in Article XVI.  Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Properties as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports.  In the event governmental authorities classify any property covered by this Master Lease as personal property, Lessee shall file all required personal property tax returns.  Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as personal property.  Lessee may, upon Notice to and with the consent of Lessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Lessee may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments and Lessor, at Lessee’s expense as aforesaid, shall cooperate with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for Lessor’s direct costs of cooperating with Lessee for such protest, appeal or other action.  Billings for reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of personal property taxes shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are made.  Unless otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, all Impositions applicable to the final Lease Year of the Term (if a partial calendar year) shall be prorated between Lessee and Lessor as set forth in Section 4.3 hereof.
 
4.2 Notice of Impositions.  Lessor shall give prompt Notice to Lessee of all Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor at any time has knowledge, but Lessor’s failure to give any such Notice shall in no way diminish Lessee’s obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions, but such failure shall obviate any default hereunder for a reasonable time after Lessee receives Notice of any Imposition which it is obligated to pay.
 
4.3 Adjustment of Impositions.  Impositions imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates or expires shall be adjusted and prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after termination or expiration, and Lessee’s obligation to pay its prorated share thereof if the same becomes due after such termination or expiration shall survive such termination or expiration.
 
4.4 Utility Charges.  Lessee will pay or cause to be paid when due all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased Properties during the Term.  Lessee shall also pay or reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever which at any time with respect to the Term hereof with respect to any Facility may be imposed against Lessor by reason of any of the covenants, conditions and/or restrictions affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or with respect to easements, licenses or other rights over, across or with respect to any adjacent or other property which benefits the Leased Property, including any and all costs and expenses associated with any utility, drainage and parking easements.
 
4.5 Insurance Premiums.  Lessee will pay or cause to be paid when due all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article XIII during the Term.

8.4 Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements.  Subject to Section 12.1 relating to 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 any use of any Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property then being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of any Leased Property or any part thereof.
 
8.5 Legal Requirement Covenants.  Lessee covenants and agrees that the Leased Properties and Lessee’s Personal Property shall not be used for any unlawful purpose.  Lessee further covenants and agrees that Lessee’s use of the 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.
 
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 may grant or withhold in its sole discretion unless the proposed manager meets the requirements of a Discretionary Transferee or is an Affiliate of Lessee, in which case Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent, 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.
 
8.7 Certain Financial Covenants.
 
8.7.1 Tangible Net Worth.  At all times during the Term, New Sun shall maintain a minimum consolidated net worth equal to, or greater than, eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Consolidated Net Worth.
 
8.7.2 Cash Flow to Rent Ratio. Lessee on a consolidated basis shall maintain a Cash Flow to Rent Ratio as determined quarterly on a cumulative basis for the preceding four (4) calendar quarters of 1.25 or more.
 
8.8 Minimum Per Bed Capital Expenditures.  Without limiting Lessee’s obligations to maintain the Leased Property under this Master Lease, within thirty (30) days after the end of each Lease Year with respect to a Facility, Lessee shall provide Lessor with evidence satisfactory to Lessor in the reasonable exercise of Lessor’s discretion that Lessee has in such Lease Year spent, with respect to the Leased Property, at least an aggregate amount of $360.00 per bed (as such amount is increased by the percentage change in the CPI from the Amended Lease Release Date to the first day of such Lease Year) (the “Minimum Aggregate Maintenance Amount”) minus the Overage Amount (as hereinafter defined), for repair and maintenance of the Facilities excluding normal janitorial and cleaning but including such capital expenditures to the Facilities and replacements to Lessor’s Personal Property at the Facilities as Lessee deems to be necessary in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.  If Lessee fails to make at least the above amount of expenditures and fails to either (i) cure such default within sixty (60) days after receipt of a written demand from Lessor, or (ii) obtain Lessor’s written approval, in its reasonable discretion, of a repair and maintenance program satisfactory to cure such deficiency, then the same shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder.  As used herein “Overage Amount” means any amounts expended by Lessee pursuant to this Section 8.8 in the two immediately preceding Lease Years in excess of the Minimum Aggregate Maintenance Amount (excluding any such amounts that are financed by Lessee and secured by a lien on the personal property relating thereto).
 
8.9 Preservation of Business.  Lessee acknowledges that a fair return to Lessor on and protection of its investment in the Leased Property is dependent, in part, on the concentration on the Leased Property during the Term of the health care business of Lessee and its Affiliates in the geographical area of the Leased Property.  Lessee further acknowledges that diversion of residents and/or patients, as applicable, from any Facility to other facilities or institutions owned, operated or managed, whether directly or indirectly, by Lessee or its Affiliates will have a material adverse impact on the value and utility of the Leased Property.  Accordingly, Lessor and Lessee agree that during the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, neither Lessee nor any of its Affiliates shall, without the prior written consent of Lessor:  (i) operate, own, participate in or otherwise receive revenues from any other business providing services or goods which are directly competitive with those provided in connection with any Facility and the Primary Intended Use (which Lessee did not operate, own, manage or have any interest in on the Amended Lease Release Date), within (A) a three (3) mile radius of any such Facility listed as “urban” on Exhibit A attached hereto or (B) a ten (10) mile radius of any such Facility listed as “rural” on Exhibit A attached hereto; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to apply to any facilities acquired by Lessee or its Affiliates after the Amended Lease Release Date, whether by acquisition, lease or management agreement, as part of a transaction or series of related transactions involving two (2) or more facilities, provided that, (A) less than fifty percent (50%) of the facilities involved in any such transaction are located within the area protected by this Section, or (ii) except as is necessary to provide residents or patients with an alternative level of care or as is otherwise necessary as a result of an admissions ban or non payment of stay or to ensure the health and welfare of other residents of any Facility, (A) recommend or solicit the removal or transfer of any resident or patient from any Facility to any other nursing, health care, senior housing or retirement housing facility or (B) divert actual or potential residents or patients of the business conducted at any Facility to any other facilities owned or operated by Lessee or its Affiliates or to facilities from which Lessee or its Affiliates receive any type of referral fees or other compensation for transfer.  Lessee further agrees that during the last year of the Initial Term or any applicable Renewal Term (unless Lessee has elected to renew this Master Lease for the next applicable Renewal Term) and for a period of one (1) year after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Lessee shall not employ any management or supervisory personnel working at any Facility for any other business without the consent of Lessor in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless this Master Lease terminates as a result of an Event of Default by Lessee, the prohibition of employment during the one (1) year period after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall not apply to unsolicited personnel who approach Lessee directly and request employment by Lessee.
 
ARTICLE IX                                
 
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 Replaced Property had been.  Lessee shall promptly advise Lessor of all such Replacement Property, and if so requested by Lessor in writing, Lessee shall promptly cause to be executed and delivered to Lessor an invoice, bill of sale or other appropriate instrument evidencing the transfer or assignment to Lessor of all estate, right, title and interest (other than the leasehold estate created hereby) of Lessee or any other Person in and to the Replacement Property, free from all liens and other exceptions to title, and Lessee shall pay all taxes, fees, costs and other expenses that may become payable as a result thereof.  At the expiration of the Term or the sooner termination of this Master Lease, the Leased Properties covered by this Master Lease, including all Leased Improvements, Fixtures and Personal Property shall be in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of this Section 9.1.6 if the total amount of the Permitted Personal Property Leases or Liens (as calculated by summing the annual amount of rental, principal and interest payments for all such leases and financings) affecting the Replaced Property or Lessee’s Personal Property (other than the Excluded Lessee’s Personal Property) for any Facility at any time does not exceed, (i) in the case of a Facility, the Primary Intended Use of which is as a nursing home, $420 per bed and (i) in the case of a Facility, the Primary Intended Use of which is as a rehabilitation hospital, $1,260 per bed, which per bed limit shall be increased in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) on each anniversary of the Commencement Date by the percentage change in the CPI.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the liens or other exceptions to title which may affect the Excluded Lessee’s Personal Property.
 
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.
 
ARTICLE X                                
 
10.1 Construction of Alterations and Additions to the Leased Properties.  Lessee shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, improvements or additions of or to any Leased Property or any part thereof, unless and until Lessee has obtained Lessor’s written approval thereof if and as required pursuant to the terms of this Article X, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and, if and as required by the terms of a Facility Mortgage, the approval of the Facility Mortgagee. Routine landscaping, painting, floor and wallcovering replacements shall not be deemed to be alterations within the meaning of this Article X.
 
10.1.1 Without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall not make any structural alterations to any Leased Property (other than replacement with the same materials in the same configuration) the cost of which in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), including, without limitation, any alterations to the roof, exterior and other load-bearing walls, windows and foundation of such Leased Property.
 
10.1.2 Without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall not make any non-structural alterations to any Leased Property (other than replacement with the same materials in the same configuration) the cost of which in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months exceeds the Self Administered Amount.

10.1.4 If the approval of Lessor of a proposed structural alteration is required, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date upon which Lessee wishes to commence construction of such alteration, Lessee shall cause a copy of the plans and specifications therefor, prepared at Lessee’s expense by a licensed architect, to be submitted to Lessor and, if and as required by a Facility Mortgage, to the Facility Mortgagee. Lessor’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
10.1.5 If a required approval is granted, Lessee shall cause the work described in the approved plans and specifications to be performed at its expense, promptly and in a first class workmanlike manner, by a licensed general contractor and in compliance with all applicable Insurance Requirements and Legal Requirements and the standards herein.  Each alteration, alone or in conjunction with each affected portion of any Leased Property, shall constitute a complete architectural unit in keeping with the character of such Leased Property and the area in which such Leased Property is located, and shall not diminish the value of such Leased Property or change the Primary Intended Use of such Leased Property.  Each and every such alteration shall immediately become a part of any Leased Property and shall belong to Lessor subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Lease. Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor at any time in respect of the cost or value of any such alteration.  All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection with the making of such alteration shall be the property of Lessee. There shall be no adjustment in the Base Rent by reason of any such alteration.
 
10.1.6 In connection with any alteration which involves the removal, demolition or disturbance of  any asbestos-containing material, Lessee shall cause to be prepared at its expense a full asbestos assessment applicable to such alteration, and shall carry out such asbestos monitoring and maintenance program as shall reasonably be required thereafter in light of the results of such assessment.
 
ARTICLE XI                                
 
11.1 Liens.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12.1 relating to permitted contests, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain and will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon any Leased Property or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, not including, however, (i) this Master Lease, (ii) the Permitted Encumbrances, (iii) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Lessor (Lessor’s consent to such liens not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and any Facility Mortgagee or any easements granted by or consented to in writing by Lessor, (iv) liens for those taxes of Lessor which Lessee is not required to pay hereunder, (v) subleases permitted by Article XXIII, (vi) liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal Requirements so long as (a) the same are not yet payable, or (b) such liens are in the process of being contested as permitted by Section 12.1, (vii) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums either disputed or not yet due, provided that (a) the payment of such sums shall not be postponed for more than sixty (60) days after the completion of the action giving rise to such lien and such reserve or other appropriate provisions as shall be required by law or GAAP shall have been made therefor and (b) any such liens are in the process of being contested as permitted by Section 12.1, (viii) any liens which are the responsibility of Lessor hereunder, and (ix) any other liens expressly permitted by the terms hereof.
 
ARTICLE XII                                
 
12.1 Permitted Contests.  Lessee, on its own or on Lessor’s behalf (or in Lessor’s) name, but at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, may contest the amount or validity of any Imposition or any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, or any encroachment or restriction burdening any Leased Property as provided in Section 9.2 (“Claims”), not otherwise permitted by Article XI, by appropriate legal proceedings in good faith and with due diligence (but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Lessee’s covenants to pay or its covenants to cause to be paid any such charges at the time and in the manner as in this Article provided), on condition, however, that such legal proceedings shall not operate to relieve Lessee from its obligations hereunder and shall not cause the sale of any Leased Property, or any part thereof, to satisfy the same or cause Lessor or Lessee to be in default under any Encumbrance or in violation of any Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements upon any Leased Property or any interest therein.  Upon request of Lessor, Lessee shall either (i) provide a bond, letter of credit or other assurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and any court having jurisdiction thereof that all Claims which may be assessed against any Leased Property together with interest and penalties, if any, thereon will be paid, or (ii) deposit within the time otherwise required for payment with a bank or trust company selected by Lessor as trustee, as security for the payment of such Claims, money in an amount sufficient to pay the same, together with interest and penalties in connection therewith and all Claims which may be assessed against or become a Claim on any Leased Property, or any part thereof, in said legal proceedings, or (iii) deposit in the court having jurisdiction thereof an amount required by the laws of the State in which a Facility is located, to release any lien from any Leased Property.  Lessee shall furnish Lessor and any lender of Lessor and any other party entitled to assert or enforce any Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements with evidence of such deposit within five (5) days of the same.  Lessor agrees to join in any such proceedings if required to legally prosecute such contest of the validity of such Claims; provided, however, that Lessor shall not thereby be subjected to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such proceedings; and Lessee covenants to indemnify and save harmless Lessor from any such costs or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in any arbitration proceeding, trial, appeal and post-judgment enforcement proceedings.  Lessee shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Lessee or paid by Lessor and for which Lessor has been fully reimbursed.  If Lessee fails to pay or satisfy the requirements or conditions of any Claims when due or to provide the security therefor as provided in this paragraph and to diligently prosecute any contest of the same, Lessor may, upon thirty (30) days’ advance written Notice to Lessee, pay such charges or satisfy such claims together with any interest and penalties and the same (or the cost thereof) shall be repayable by Lessee to Lessor  as Additional Charges upon presentation of a written statement setting forth the amounts so claimed.  If Lessor reasonably determines that the giving of such Notice would risk loss to any Leased Property or cause damage to Lessor, then Lessor shall give such written Notice as is practical under the circumstances.
 
12.2 Lessor’s Requirement for Deposits. Upon and at any time after Lessee has failed on three (3) consecutive occasions to fulfill its obligations hereunder with respect to the payment of Rent or Impositions or the compliance with any Insurance Requirements or Legal Requirements, whether or not Lessor has declared an Event of Default 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 comply with the relevant Insurance Requirements, any Imposition and any Legal Requirements, and when such obligations become due, Lessor shall pay them (to the extent of the deposit) upon Notice from Lessee requesting such payment.  In the event that sufficient funds have not been deposited to cover the amount of the obligations due at least thirty (30) days in advance of the due date, Lessee shall forthwith deposit the same with Lessor upon written request from Lessor.  Lessor shall not be obligated to pay Lessee any interest on any deposit so held by Lessor.  Upon an Event of Default, any of the funds remaining on deposit may be applied in any manner and on such priority, as determined by Lessor and without Notice to Lessee.
 
ARTICLE XIII                                
 
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);
 
13.1.2 Loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, now or hereafter installed in any Facility, in such amounts with respect to any one accident as may be required by Lessor from time to time;
 
13.1.3 Loss of 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;
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 New 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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
(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 permit Lessee to make a claim which does not have the effect, directly or indirectly, of reducing Lessor’s claim, for Lessee’s leasehold interest, moving expenses, or for loss of goodwill or Lessee’s business, Lessee shall have the right to pursue such claim in the Condemnation proceeding and shall be entitled to the Award therefor (“Lessee’s Leasehold Award”).  Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor its interest in Lessee’s Leasehold Award to the extent of the difference between the total Condemnation Award and the Minimum Purchase Price. Any Award made for the taking of Lessee’s Personal Property, or for removal and relocation expenses of Lessee in any such proceedings shall be the sole property of and payable to Lessee (“Lessee’s Personal Property Award”).  In any Condemnation proceedings, Lessor and Lessee shall each seek its own Award in conformity herewith, at its own expense.  To assure that Lessor is made whole first from the Condemnation Award, the total of the Condemnation Award payable to Lessor and Lessee’s Leasehold Award shall be allocated in the following order of priority:
 
(i) To Lessor, to the extent of the greater of 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 Amount.  The Base Rent shall be reduced by reason of such Partial Taking to an amount agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee.  If Lessor and Lessee cannot agree upon a new Base Rent, then the Base Rent for such Facility shall be proportionately reduced in accordance with the number of licensed beds no longer operable at such Facility solely by reason of the Partial taking.  If Lessee fails to make the election or if it elects not to restore, or if it fails to commence or complete the restoration within the time limits specified in this Section 15.5, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to purchase such affected Leased Property for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price. If Lessee fails to make the election to terminate this Lease as to the affected Leased Property or if it is required to restore the affected Leased Property but thereafter fails to commence or complete the restoration within the time periods specified in this Section 15.5, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to purchase such affected Leased Property for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Price. Lessee shall complete the purchase within (i) one hundred eighty (180) days of the Partial Taking 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 the portion of any Award retained by Lessor.
 
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.
 
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.
 
ARTICLE XVI                                
 
16.1 Events of Default.  If any one or more of the following events (individually, an “Event of Default”) occurs, then Lessee will be in default under this Master Lease and Lessor shall have the rights and remedies hereinafter provided:
 
16.1.1 If any Lessee fails to make payment of Rent under this Master Lease within two (2) Business Days when due; or
 
16.1.2 If any Lessee or Guarantor:
 
(a) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
 
(b) files a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency law,
 
(c) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
 
(d) consents to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or
 
(e) files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the Federal Bankruptcy Laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any State thereof; or

16.1.5 If the estate or interest of any Lessee in the Leased Properties leased by it or any part thereof is levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same is not vacated or discharged within thirty (30) days after commencement thereof (unless such Lessee is in the process of contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Section 12.1 hereof); or

16.1.15   The sale or transfer, without Lessor’s consent, of all or any portion of any certificate of need, bed rights or other similar certificate or license relating to the Leased Property;
 
16.1.16    A default shall occur under Sun’s Credit Agreement, where the default is not cured within any applicable grace period set forth therein, and the lender thereunder elects to accelerate the loan as a result thereof or any other remedy available to such lender is exercised because of such default; provided, however, if such acceleration or other remedy is thereafter cancelled, then this Event of Default shall concurrently therewith cease to be outstanding; or
 
16.1.17   If Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Master Lease and such failure is not cured by Lessee within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Lessor, unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case such failure shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default if Lessee proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the failure and diligently completes the curing thereof within one hundred twenty (120) days after such notice from Landlord; provided, however, that such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required under applicable law.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 Limited Remedy Events of Default.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained or in any other transaction document executed concurrently herewith, or any other provisions of this Master Lease or any other concurrent transaction document, if Lessor is exercising remedies due solely to the Events of Default described in clauses Sections 16.1.13 (each a “Limited Remedy Events of Default”), the aggregate amount Lessee shall be required to pay to Lessor from and after the date of the occurrence of such Limited Remedy Event of Default (the “Occurrence Date”) shall be limited to the sum of (i) the present value of the unpaid Base Rent for the balance of the Term (excluding the portion of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided) (determined using a discount rate of Eight percent (8.0%) per annum), (ii) any Additional Charges which are due and payable or have accrued under this Master Lease through the Occurrence Date, and (iii) any amounts of Additional Charges which are due and payable or have accrued under this Master Lease after the Occurrence Date while the Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Property after any Limited Remedy Event of Default that relate to insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance, environmental maintenance, remediation and compliance and other customary costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the Leased Property in substantial compliance with the terms of this Master Lease (collectively, the “LRED Damages”).  Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that the damages available to Lessor as a result of a Limited Remedy Event of Default shall be strictly limited to the LRED Damages and that nothing contained herein or in any other transaction document executed concurrently herewith shall entitle Lessor to additional reimbursement or monetary damages with respect to any such Limited Remedy Event of Default.
 
16.5 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.
 
16.6 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.
 
16.7 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.
 
ARTICLE XVII                                
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 connection with any such request, Lessor shall provide Lessee with a Non-Disturbance Agreement reasonably acceptable to such mortgagee, beneficiary or lessor providing that if such mortgagee, beneficiary or lessor acquires such Leased Property by way of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure  (or termination of any lease in which Lessor is the Lessee), that such mortgagee, beneficiary or lessor will not disturb Lessee’s possession under its Lease and will recognize Lessee’s rights thereunder provided that no Event of Default has occurred thereunder.  Lessee agrees to consent to amend this Master Lease as reasonably required by a Facility Mortgagee; Lessee shall be deemed to have unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to changes or amendments to this Master Lease requested by the holder of a mortgage or deed of trust or such similar financing instrument encumbering Lessor’s fee interest in such Leased Property if such changes do not materially (i) alter the economic terms of this Master Lease, (ii) diminish the rights of Lessee, or (iii) increase the obligations of Lessee, provided that Lessee shall also have received the Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for in this Section.
 
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 E 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.
 
ARTICLE XX                                
 
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.
 
ARTICLE XXI                                
 
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 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.
 
ARTICLE XXII                                
 
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 may be withheld in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion.  Lessee acknowledges that Lessor is relying upon the expertise of Lessee in the operation of the Facilities and that Lessor entered into this Master Lease with the expectation that Lessee would remain in and operate such Facilities during the entire Term and for that reason Lessor retains sole and absolute discretion in approving or disapproving any assignment or master sublease.  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.
 
22.2 Discretionary Transferee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the rights of any Facility Mortgagee, and subject to Section 36.1, Lessee may, (I) without Lessor’s prior written consent, assign this Master Lease or sublease the Leased Property to an Affiliate of Lessee or Guarantor if all of the following are first satisfied: (w) such Affiliate fully assumes Lessee’s obligations hereunder; (x) Lessee remains fully liable hereunder and Guarantor remains fully liable under the Guaranty; (y) the use of the Leased Property remains unchanged; and (z) Lessor in its reasonable discretion shall have approved the form and content of all documents for such assignment or sublease and received an executed counterpart thereof; and (II) with Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign this Master Lease or sublease the Facilities to Discretionary Transferees if all of the following are satisfied: (a) such Discretionary Transferees fully assume Lessee’s obligations hereunder or, in the case of a sublease, Lessee’s obligations hereunder with respect to the subleased Facility or Facilities, (b) the use of the Leased Property under the terms of such assignment or sublease is permitted by Section 7.2 hereof, (c) Lessor in its reasonable discretion shall have approved the form and content of all documents for such assignment and assumption or sublease and received an executed counterpart thereof, (d) each Discretionary Transferee grants Lessor a lien on the Collateral having the same priority as the lien(s) then held by Lessor on the Lessee's Collateral under the terms of the Security Agreement.
 
22.3 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 22.3, 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 other equity interests, by Lessee, any Guarantor or any manager which is an Affiliate of Lessee or any Guarantor or the members or stockholders of record of any of them as of the date of this Master Lease, which results in a change in the voting control of such entity, shall constitute a Transfer, provided, however, that Lessor’s consent shall not be required with respect to Lessee’s transfer of all or substantially all of its assets and liabilities to, or its merger or consolidation with, its parent corporation or a subsidiary, direct or indirect, of its parent corporation, but (i) the obligations of any Guarantor shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such transfer, merger or consolidation, and (ii) no such transfer, merger or consolidation shall diminish or in any way adversely affect any of Lessor’s cross-default and cross-collateralization rights with respect to any other lease and this Master Lease.  If Lessee, any Guarantor of this Master Lease, or any manager which is an Affiliate of Lessee or any Guarantor is a joint venture, partnership or other association, then the sale, issuance or transfer, cumulatively or in one transaction, within any five (5) year period of either voting control or of a twenty percent (20%) or greater interest in, or the termination of, such joint venture, partnership or other association, shall constitute a Transfer.  A Change in Control as defined in Sun’s Credit Agreement shall also constitute a Transfer.  Pursuant to a Consent to Separation dated as of the Amended Lease Release Date from Lessor and Omega, Lessor and Omega have consented to the Separation.  Pursuant to a Consent to Conversion dated as of the date of this Lease from Lessor and Omega, Lessor and Omega have consented to the Conversion.
 
22.4 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.
 
22.5 Sublease Limitation.  No sublease of any Leased Property is permitted, except as specifically set forth in this Article.  If a sublease of any Leased Property is permitted under this Article, nonetheless, Lessee shall not sublet such Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in 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 the sublease rental received by Lessor would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.  The parties agree that this paragraph shall not be deemed waived or modified by implication, but may be waived or modified only by an instrument in writing explicitly referring to this paragraph by number.
 
22.6 Costs.  Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for Lessor’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any Transfer, including reasonable attorneys’, architects’, engineers’ or other consultants’ fees whether or not such Transfer is actually consummated.

23.3 Lessor’s Obligations.  Lessor acknowledges and agrees that certain of the information contained in the Financial Statements and/or in the Financials may be non-public financial or operational information with respect to the New Sun, the Lessees and/or the Leased Properties. Lessor further agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of such non-public information; provided, however, Lessor shall have the right to share such information with its accountants, attorneys and other consultants provided such disclosure is not prohibited by applicable state or federal securities laws and (ii) that it shall not engage in any transactions with respect to the stock or other equity or debt securities of New Sun based on any such non-public information.
 
ARTICLE XXIV                                
 
24.1 Lessor’s Right to Inspect.  Upon reasonable advance notice to Lessee, Lessee shall permit Lessor and its authorized representatives to inspect its Leased Property during usual business hours.  Lessor shall take care to minimize any disturbance of or inconvenience to any residents of any Leased Property, except in the case of emergency, and to conduct such inspections in compliance with applicable laws governing the confidentiality of patient information, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
 
ARTICLE XXV                                
 
25.1 No 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 affect or alter this Master Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.
 
ARTICLE XXVI                                
 
26.1 Remedies Cumulative.  To the extent permitted by law, each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Lessor now or hereafter provided either in this Master Lease or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.
 
ARTICLE XXVII                                
 
27.1 Acceptance of Surrender.  No surrender to Lessor of this Master Lease or of any Leased Property or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor, and no act by Lessor or any representative or agent of Lessor, other than such a written acceptance by Lessor, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.
 
ARTICLE XXVIII                                           
 
28.1 No Merger of Title.  There shall be no merger of this Master Lease or of the leasehold estate created thereby by reason of the fact that the same person, firm, corporation or other entity may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, (i) this Master Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this Master Lease or such leasehold estate, and (ii) the fee estate in each Leased Property.
 
28.2 No Partnership.  Nothing contained in this Master Lease shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between Lessor and Lessee or to cause either party to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of the other or any other party, it being the intention of the parties that the only relationship hereunder is that of lessor and lessee.
 
ARTICLE XXIX                                
 
29.1 Conveyance by Lessor.  If Lessor or any successor owner of any Leased Property conveys such Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, Lessor or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Master Lease arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner upon Lessor’s delivery to the new owner of any prepaid Rent then held by Lessor with respect to such Leased Property.
 
ARTICLE XXX                                
 
30.1 Quiet Enjoyment.  So long as Lessee pays all Rent as it becomes due and complies with all of the terms of this Master Lease and performs its obligations thereunder, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Properties hereby leased for the Term, free of any claim or other 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 as otherwise provided in this Master Lease, no failure by Lessor to comply with 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.

ARTICLE XXXII                                
 
32.1 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 the Fair Market Rental shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the amounts so determined.  If the difference between the amounts so determined exceeds ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then such two appraisers shall have twenty (20) days to appoint a third appraiser.  If no such appraiser has been appointed within such twenty (20) days or within ninety (90) days of the original request for a determination of Fair Market Rental, whichever is earlier, either Lessor or Lessee may apply to any court having jurisdiction to have such appointment made by such court.  Any appraiser appointed by the original appraisers or by such court shall be instructed to determine the Fair Market Rental within forty-five (45) days after appointment of such appraiser.  The determination of the appraiser which differs most in terms of dollar amount from the determinations of the other two appraisers shall be excluded, and the average of the sum of the remaining two determinations shall be final and binding upon Lessor and Lessee as the Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property, as the case may be.
 
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.
 
ARTICLE XXXIII                                           
 
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.
 
33.2.1 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.
 
33.2.2 Without limiting or expanding Lessee’s obligations pursuant to Section 33.2.1, during the Term of this Master Lease, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Master Lease, it shall undertake at its own cost and expense the performance of any and all repairs, replacements, capital improvements, maintenance items and all other requirements relating to the condition of a Facility that are required by any Facility Mortgage Document or by Facility Mortgagee, and Lessee shall be solely responsible and hereby covenants to fund and maintain any and all impound, escrow or other reserve or similar accounts required under any Facility Mortgage Documents as security for or otherwise relating to any operating expenses of a Facility, including any capital repair or replacement reserves and/or impounds or escrow accounts for Taxes or insurance premiums (each a “Facility Mortgage Reserve Account”); provided, however, this Section 33.2.2 shall not (i) increase Lessee’s monetary obligations under this Master Lease, (ii) materially and adversely increase Lessee’s non-monetary obligations under this Master Lease or (iii) materially diminish Lessee’s rights under this Master Lease, except to the extent that with respect to any Facility, such obligations were provided for in a Facility Mortgage, or otherwise required by the Facility Mortgagee, secured by such Facility as of the Amended Lease Release Date; and provided, further, that any amounts which Lessee is required to fund into a Facility Mortgage Reserve Account with respect to satisfy any repair or replacement reserve requirements imposed by a Facility Mortgagee shall be credited on a dollar for dollar basis against the mandatory expenditure obligations of Lessee for such applicable Facility(ies) under Section 8.8.  During the Term of this Master Lease and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Lessee shall, subject to the terms and conditions of such Facility Mortgage Reserve Account and the requirements of the Facility Mortgagee(s) thereunder, have access to and the right to apply or use (including for reimbursement) to the same extent of Landlord all monies held in each such Facility Mortgage Reserve Account for the purposes and subject to the limitations for which such Facility Mortgage Reserve Account is maintained, and Lessor agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lessee in connection therewith.  Lessor hereby acknowledges that funds deposited by Lessee in any Facility Mortgage Reserve Account are the property of Lessee and Lessor is obligated to return the portion of such funds not previously released to Lessee within fifteen (15) days following the earlier of (x) the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease with respect to such applicable Facility, (y) the maturity or earlier prepayment of the applicable Facility Mortgage, or (z) an involuntary prepayment or deemed prepayment arising out of the  acceleration of the amounts due to a Facility Mortgagee as a result of the exercise of its remedies under the applicable Facility Mortgage; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to limit or prohibit Lessor’s right to bring any damage claim against Lessee for any breach of its obligations under this Master Lease that may have resulted in the loss of any impound funds held by a Facility Mortgagee.
 
ARTICLE XXXIV                                           
 
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 F 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, 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 34.2, including, without limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with the Board of Health of the State or other appropriate agency of the State or department any and all required “Letters of Responsibility” or similar documents.  Lessee further hereby grants to Lessor the full power and authority to appoint one or more substitutes to perform any of the acts that Lessor is authorized to perform under this Section 34.2, with a right to revoke such appointment of substitution at pleasure.  The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable.  Any person dealing with Lessor may rely upon the representation of Lessor relating to any authority granted by this power of attorney, including the intended scope of the authority, and may accept the written certificate of Lessor that this power of attorney is in full force and effect.  Photographic or other facsimile reproductions of this Master Lease may be made and delivered by Lessor, and may be relied upon by any person to the same extent as though the copy were an original.  Anyone who acts in reliance upon any representation or certificate of Lessor, or upon a reproduction of the Lease, shall not be liable for permitting Lessor to perform any act pursuant to this power of attorney.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall not exercise this power of attorney  until, and only during the continuance of, an uncured Event of Default under this Master Lease.  Lessor shall provide to Lessee copies of any writing as to which Lessor has exercised the power of attorney.
 
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.
 
ARTICLE XXXV                                
 
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.
 
ARTICLE XXXVI                                           
 
36.1 REIT Protection.
 
36.1.1 The parties hereto intend that Rent and other amounts paid by Lessee hereunder will qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto and this Master Lease shall be interpreted consistent with this intent.
 
36.1.2 Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall not (i) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the subtenant, assignee or manager thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (x) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the subtenant, assignee or manager or (y) any other formula such that any portion of any amount received by Lessor would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto; (ii) furnish or render any services to the subtenant, assignee or manager or manage or operate the Leased Property so subleased, assigned or managed; (iii) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property to any Person (other than a taxable REIT subsidiary of Lessor) in which Lessee or Lessor owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Code); or (iv) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property in any other manner which could cause any portion of the amounts received by Lessor pursuant to this Master Lease or any sublease to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto, or which could cause any other income of Lessor to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code.  The requirements of this Section shall likewise apply to any further subleasing by any subtenant.
 
36.1.3 Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the parties acknowledge and agree that Lessor, in its sole discretion, may assign this Master Lease or any interest herein to another Person (including without limitation, a taxable REIT subsidiary) in order to maintain Lessor’s status as a REIT; provided, however, Lessor shall be required to (i) comply with any applicable legal requirements related to such transfer including, but not limited to, any requirements under any certificate of need or other health care law, rules or regulations and (ii) give Lessee notice of any such assignment; and, provided, further, that any such assignment shall be subject to all of the rights of Lessee hereunder.
 
36.1.4 Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, upon request of Lessor, Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor in good faith and at no cost or expense to Lessee, and provide such documentation and/or information as may be in Lessee’s possession or under Lessee’s control and otherwise readily available to Lessee regarding the valuation of the Leased Property in order to assist Lessor in its determination that Rent allocable for purposes of Section 856 of the Code to the Lessor’s Personal Property at the beginning and end of a calendar year does not exceed 15% of the total Rent due hereunder (the “Personal Property REIT Requirement”); provided, however, that this provision shall not be interpreted to relieve Lessee from its obligations under Section 6.5 of this Agreement; and provided, further, that a violation by Lessee of its obligations under this Section 36.1.4 and/or a determination by Lessor that a violation of the Personal Property REIT Requirement has occurred shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Lease.  Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall take such reasonable action as may be requested by Landlord from time to time in order to ensure compliance with the Personal Property REIT Requirement as long as such compliance does not (i) increase Lessee’s monetary obligations under this Master Lease or (ii) materially and adversely increase Lessee’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease or (iii) materially diminish Lessee’s rights under this Master Lease.  Accordingly, if requested by Lessor and at Lessor’s expense, Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor as may be necessary from time to time to more specifically identify and/or value the Lessor’s Personal Property in connection with the compliance with the Personal Property REIT Requirement.  Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for the reasonable amount of any out of pocket expenses incurred by Lessee in satisfying the requirements of this Section 36.1.4.
 

ARTICLE XXXVII                                           
 
37.1 Survival, Choice of Law.  Anything contained elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, Lessee or Lessor arising prior to the date of termination of this Master Lease shall survive such termination.  If any late charges provided for in any  provision of this Master Lease are based upon a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the parties agree that such charges shall be fixed at the maximum permissible rate.  Neither this Master Lease nor any provision thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing and in recordable form signed by Lessor and Lessee.  All of the terms and provisions of this Master Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  The headings in this Master Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. This Master Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Maryland, except as to matters which, under applicable procedural conflicts of laws rules require the application of laws of the applicable State.
 
LESSEE CONSENTS TO IN PERSONAM JURISDICTION BEFORE THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF THE STATES OF MARYLAND, AND AGREES THAT ALL DISPUTES CONCERNING THIS MASTER LEASE BE HEARD IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. LESSEE FURTHER CONSENTS TO IN PESONAM JURISDICTION BEFORE THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF EACH STATE WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION COMMENCED BY LESSOR SEEKING TO RETAKE POSSESSION OF ANY OR ALL OF THE LEASED PROPERTIES. LESSEE AGREES THAT SERVICE OF 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, 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, Lessor (original or successor) shall never 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.
 
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. 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.
 
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.
 
ARTICLE XL                                
 
40.1 Security Deposit.  Guarantor previously delivered a Security Deposit in the amount of (i) Three Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($362,500) to Lessor in the form of a Letter of Credit (the “Peak L/C”), and (ii) 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”).  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that 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.
 
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.
