2

 
 
(b)           Project Description. Lessor shall submit to Lessee, for Lessee’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, a reasonably detailed description of the 2011 Project (the “Proposed 2011 Project Description”), along with a proposed timeline for completion of the 2011 Project, which timeline shall include the anticipated Substantial Completion Date (the “Proposed 2011 Project Timeline”), and a proposed budget with respect thereto (the “Proposed 2011 Project Budget”). Lessor shall not commence the proposed 2011 Project until each of the Proposed 2011 Project Description, the Proposed 2011 Project Timeline, and the Proposed 2011 Project Budget have been approved by Lessee and once approved by Lessee such document shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Approved 2011 Project Documents.”  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the Monthly 2011 Capex Rent shall be calculated based upon the actual funds expended by Lessor, and not on the Proposed 2011 Project Budget or on the Approved 2011 Project Documents. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Proposed 2011 Project Budget shall include (i) all reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in connection with the 2011 Project, including, but not limited to, Lessor’s reasonable legal counsel and due diligence costs, title insurance, survey, UCC searches and filing fees, if any, and the fees of Lessor’s Architect and (ii) Lessor’s financing costs related to the funds used to pay for the 2011 Project. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the failure on the part of Lessor to include any cost in the Proposed 2011 Project Budget or in the Approved 2011 Project Documents, or to accurately estimate the amount of any such cost, shall not preclude Lessor from including the full amount of such cost in the Funded Amount.
 
(c)           General Contractor. Lessor’s obligation to undertake the 2011 Project shall be specifically conditioned on Lessor entering into a contract with a general contractor acceptable to Lessor in the exercise of its sole and absolute judgment and on terms and conditions acceptable to Lessor in the exercise of its sole and absolute judgment.
 
(d)           Project Management. Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, in connection with any 2011 Project to engage Lessee (or one or more of its Affiliates) to supervise the day to day construction and completion of the 2011 Project pursuant to a project management agreement to be entered into by Lessor and Lessee on terms and conditions acceptable to Lessor in the exercise of its sole and absolute judgment (the “Project Management Agreement”).  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of Section 16.1.12 of the Master Lease, it shall be an Event of Default under the Existing Lease if Lessee defaults in its obligations under the Project Management Agreement and such default is not cured within any cure period set forth in the Project Management Agreement (as compared to in Section 16.1.12) and the applicable 2011 Project is not completed by the Target Completion Date as a result of such uncured default under the Project Management Agreement.
 
 
3

 
 
(e)           Character of Construction.  All construction of the 2011 Projects will be of sound materials, in good and workmanlike manner, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (other than the liens and security interests securing the obligations of the Lessee under the Existing Lease), and in compliance with all laws, ordinances, regulations and restrictions affecting the applicable 2011 Facility and all requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable 2011 Facility and of the appropriate board of fire underwriters or other similar body, if any, and any applicable health care authority.
 
(f)           Records and Reports.   During the construction period and until six (6) months after each of the 2011 Projects is completed, Lessor will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and complete books and records relating to each 2011 Project, including, but not limited to, (i) copies and lists of all paid and unpaid bills for labor and materials with respect to each 2011 Project, (ii) construction budgets and revisions thereof showing the estimated cost of each 2011 Projects and the source of the funds required at any given time to complete and pay for the same, (iii) receipted bills or other evidence of payment with respect to the cost of each 2011 Project, and (iv) such reports as to other matters relating to each 2011 Project as Lessee may reasonably request.
 
(g)           Access.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee will permit Lessor and Lessor's representatives to have access to any 2011 Facility at which a 2011 Project is being performed at all reasonable times and to conduct such investigations and inspections thereof as Lessor shall determine necessary, including without limitation in connection with inspecting all work done, labor performed and materials furnished in connection with each 2011 Project.  Lessee will cooperate with Lessor and its representatives and agents during such inspections.  All inspections that may be performed by Lessor and its agents will be exclusively for the benefit of Lessor and will impose no obligation whatsoever upon Lessor for the benefit of any person.  No inspection by Lessor will create any obligation on Lessor other than the obligations otherwise specifically imposed on Lessor under this Amendment or the terms of any construction documents related to the 2011 Project to which Lessor may be a party or relieve Lessee of any obligation it may have under the Existing Lease.
 
(h)           Right to Withdraw a 2011 Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2, Lessor shall have the right, on written notice to Lessee, to withdraw a 2011 Project prior to the commencement of construction thereof.
 
(i)           Funding of a 2011 Project. Lessor shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Project Costs related to each 2011 Project.
 
3.             2011 Project Rent. From and after the first advance by Lessor of any portion of the Funded Amount with respect to one or more of the 2011 Projects, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Monthly 2011 Capex Rent due with respect to the Lease Year in which such advance was/advances were made. The Monthly 2011 CapEx Rent applicable to each advance of the Funded Amount shall be due and payable commencing with the first month following the month in which such advance is made and shall be due and payable as and when the Litchfield Base Rent or Non-Litchfield Base Rent, as applicable, is payable under the Master Lease.  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that twelve (12) times the Monthly 2011 Capex Rent as of the last month of the applicable Lease Year (including in such calculation of Monthly 2011 Capex Rent any amounts advanced during such month) shall be included as Litchfield Base Rent or Non-Litchfield Base Rent, as applicable, for “the previous Lease Year” in the calculation of the annual Litchfield Base Rent and Non-Litchfield Base Rent due during the subsequent Lease Year and accordingly that there shall be no carry over from one Lease Year to another of the Monthly 2011 Capex Rent.  Set forth in Exhibit B to this Amendment is an example of the calculation of the Monthly 2011 Cap Ex Rent and the Base Rent from one Lease Year to another with respect to the 2011 Projects.

4.             Unavoidable Delay. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Unavoidable Delay with respect to a 2011 Project and the giving of written notice thereof to Lessee, Lessor shall be temporarily released without any liability on its part from the performance of its obligations to complete such 2011 Project, but only to the extent and only for the period that their performance of each such obligation is prevented by the Unavoidable Delay.  Such notice shall include a description of the nature of the Unavoidable Delay, and its cause and possible consequences. Lessor shall promptly notify the other party of the termination of the event giving rise to the Unavoidable Delay.

8.             Execution and Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but when taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.
