6. Rent.

6.1 Payment of Base Rent. Commencing as of the Date of Rent Commencement, Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord, or to Lender if directed by Landlord in writing, at the business address of Landlord or Lender, as the case may be, specified herein, or at such other address as Landlord or Lender, as the case may be, shall from time to time designate by written notice to Tenant. The Base Rent shall be due and payable in the amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, which Schedule 1 is incorporated herein by this reference. Tenant shall commence paying Base Rent on the Date of Rent Commencement (which Date of Rent Commencement is not required to occur on the first day of a month), and to the extent that the Date of Rent Commencement does not fall on the first day of a calendar month, then Base Rent for the calendar month in which the Date of Rent Commencement occurs shall be prorated based on the number of days in the calendar month in which the Date of Rent Commencement occurs. Other than payment of Base Rent on the Date of Rent Commencement (to the extent that the Date of Rent Commencement does not occur on the first day of a calendar month), Base Rent shall be due and payable on the first day of each month (or if such first day is not a business day, the first business day of each month) during the Term (each such date being referred to herein as a “Due Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the Date of Rent Commencement until Tenant is notified otherwise by Landlord and Lender, Base Rent shall be paid by wire transfer to the account specified in the rent direction letter from Landlord to Tenant.

6.2 Partial Months. Any Base Rent paid for a partial period of occupancy shall be allocated to such partial period. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant’s obligation to pay insurance charges pursuant to Section 31 of this Lease, taxes pursuant to Section 30 of this Lease, and all other Additional Rent shall commence upon the Date of Rent Commencement.

6.3 Payment of Additional Rent. Commencing as of the Date of Rent Commencement, all taxes, costs, expenses, and other amounts which Tenant is required to pay pursuant to this Lease (other than Base Rent), including, but not limited to insurance required pursuant to Section 31 of this Lease together with every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment thereof, shall constitute additional obligations hereunder (“Additional Rent”). All Additional Rent shall be paid directly by Tenant to the party to whom such Additional Rent is due. If Tenant shall fail to pay any such Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder when the same shall become due (and if no due date is specified, then such amounts shall be payable within ten (10) business days following written notice of demand therefor), Landlord shall have all rights, powers and remedies with respect thereto as are provided herein or by Law in the case of non-payment of any Base Rent and shall, except as expressly provided herein, have the right, not sooner than ten (10) days after notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency, as reasonably determined by Landlord, in which case prior notice shall not be necessary) of its intent to do so, to pay the same on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall repay such amounts to Landlord on demand. Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest at the Lease Default Rate on all overdue Additional Rent and other sums due hereunder, in each case paid by Landlord or Lender on behalf of Tenant, from the date of payment by Landlord or Lender until repaid by Tenant.

6.4 Late Payments. If any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee by the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Late Charge calculated off of the past due amount plus any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay such amount. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. In addition to the Late Charge, any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within five (5) days of the date that they are due shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the Lease Default Rate.

6.5 Lease Deposit. The Lease Deposit shall be deposited by Tenant with Landlord in accordance with Section 1.2(u) of this Lease. The Lease Deposit shall serve as security for the payment and performance of the obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein. The Lease Deposit shall not constitute an advance payment of any amounts owed by Tenant under this Lease, or a measure of damages to which Landlord shall be entitled upon a breach of this Lease by Tenant or upon termination of this Lease. Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Lease Deposit to the extent necessary to remedy any default which has lapsed beyond applicable notice and cure period in the payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent or to satisfy any other obligation of Tenant hereunder and to remedy any Event of Default hereunder. In the event that any portion of the Lease Deposit is used by Landlord as set forth herein, Tenant shall promptly, on demand, restore the Lease Deposit to its original amount. Landlord will keep the Lease Deposit separate from its own funds in a separately segregated, interest bearing account. The Lease Deposit will not be a limitation on Landlord’s damages or other rights under this Lease, or a payment of liquidated damages, or an advance payment of the Base Rent. Landlord will return the unused portion of the Lease Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the Term, Landlord shall assign the Lease Deposit to the transferee who shall become obligated to Tenant for its return pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability for its return, provided assignee shall assume such obligations in writing to Tenant.

6.6 Determination of Charges. Landlord and Tenant agree that each provision of this Lease for determining charges and amounts payable by Tenant (including provisions regarding Base Rent and Additional Rent) is commercially reasonable and, as to each charge or amount, constitutes a statement of the charge or a method by which the charge is to be computed for purposes of Section 93.012 of the Texas Property Code.

7. Net Lease; True Lease.

7.1 Net Lease. The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events, and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue during the Term, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.4 or Section 15. This is an absolutely net lease and Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable hereunder by Tenant shall be paid without notice or demand (except as specifically set forth in this Lease), and without setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, suspension, reduction or defense. This Lease is the absolute and unconditional obligation of Tenant, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not be affected by any interference with Tenant’s use of any of the Premises for any reason except as specifically set forth in this Lease, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) any damage to or destruction of any of the Premises by any cause whatsoever (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 14.4), (ii) any Condemnation (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 15), (iii) the prohibition, limitation or restriction of Tenant’s use of any of the Premises, (iv) Tenant’s acquisition of ownership of any of the Premises other than pursuant to an express provision of this Lease, (v) any default on the part of Landlord under this Lease or under any other agreement, (vi) any latent or other defect in, or any theft or loss of any of the Premises, (vii) any violation of Section 34 by Landlord (provided, that this Section 7.1(vii) shall not limit Tenant’s rights, if any, to seek injunctive relief against Landlord for violation of said Section 34), or (viii) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future Law to the contrary notwithstanding. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all costs and expenses (other than depreciation, interest on and amortization of debt incurred by Landlord, and costs incurred by Landlord in financing or refinancing the Premises) and other obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to the Premises and the appurtenances thereto and the use and occupancy thereof which may arise or become due and payable with respect to the period which ends on the expiration or earlier termination of the Term in accordance with the provisions hereof (whether or not the same shall become payable during the Term or thereafter) shall be paid and performed by Tenant. Tenant shall pay all expenses related to the maintenance and repair of the Premises, and taxes and insurance costs. This Lease shall not terminate and Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this Lease (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease), or to xxxxx Base Rent or Additional Rent during the Term.

7.2 True Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease is a true lease and does not represent a financing arrangement. Each party shall reflect the transaction represented hereby in all applicable books, records and reports (including income tax filings) in a manner consistent with “true lease” treatment rather than “financing” treatment.

7.3 No Termination of Lease. Tenant shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator or by any court.

8. Condition. Tenant acknowledges that it or one of its affiliates owned and occupied the Premises immediately prior to the commencement of the Term. Accordingly, Tenant is fully familiar with the physical condition of the Premises as of the date hereof, and that Landlord makes no representation or warranty express or implied, with respect to same, except as expressly set forth herein. EXCEPT FOR LANDLORD’S COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT SET FORTH IN SECTION 34 AND ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, LANDLORD MAKES NO AND EXPRESSLY HEREBY DENIES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CONDITION OR SUITABILITY OF THE PREMISES TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAWS, AND TENANT WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY OTHERWISE ACCRUING TO TENANT ON ACCOUNT OF THE CONDITION OR SUITABILITY OF THE PREMISES, OR (EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO LANDLORD’S WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 34) TITLE TO THE PREMISES, AND TENANT AGREES THAT IT TAKES THE PREMISES “AS IS,” WITHOUT ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES. Tenant has examined the Premises and title to the Premises, and has found all of the same satisfactory for all purposes.

9. Liens. Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, create, or permit to be created or to remain, and shall remove and discharge (including, without limitation, by any statutory bonding procedure or any other bonding procedure reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Lender which shall be sufficient to prevent any loss of the Landlord’s or Lender’s interest in the Premises) within thirty (30) days after obtaining knowledge thereof any mortgage, lien, encumbrance or other charge on the Premises or the leasehold estate created hereby or any Base Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder which arises for any reason, other than: the Landlord’s Mortgage (and any assignment of leases or rents collateral thereto); the Permitted Encumbrances or which subsequently arise with the prior written consent of Landlord and Lender; and any mortgage, lien, encumbrance or other charge created by or resulting from any act or omission by Landlord or those claiming by, through or under Landlord (other than Tenant).

10. Repairs and Maintenance.

10.1 Tenant’s Repair and Maintenance Obligations. Tenant shall keep, maintain and repair, at its sole cost and expense, the Premises, including, without limitation, the roof walls, footings, foundations, HVAC, mechanical and electrical equipment and systems in or serving the Premises and structural and nonstructural components and systems of the Premises, parking areas, sidewalks, roadways and landscaping in safe and good condition and repair, and shall make all repairs and replacements (substantially equivalent in quality and workmanship to the original work) of every kind and nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, which may be required to be made, in order to keep and maintain the Premises in good repair and condition, except for ordinary wear and tear and (other than for any Restoration required by the terms of this Lease) any damage to the Premises by any Major Condemnation of the Premises. Tenant shall prevent deferred maintenance from accumulating at the Premises. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant to perform annual inspections of the Premises to ensure that the Premises are maintained in good working order and that the Premises are free from maintenance issues and any other issues which would decrease the value of the Premises once returned to Landlord at the end of the Term. Tenant shall do or cause others to do all shoring of the Premises or of the foundations and walls of the Facility as may be reasonably required and every other act reasonably necessary for the preservation and safety thereof (including, without limitation, any repairs required by Law as contemplated by Section 11), by reason or in connection with any excavation or other building operation upon the Premises, and Landlord shall have no obligation to do so. Landlord shall not be required to make any repair, replacement, maintenance or other work whatsoever, or to maintain the Premises in any way. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to preclude Tenant from being entitled to insurance proceeds or awards for any taking to the extent provided in this Lease. Tenant shall, in all events, make all repairs, replacements and perform maintenance and other work for which it is responsible hereunder, in a good, proper and workmanlike manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for the performance of all maintenance and repairs of the Facility.

10.2 Encroachments and Non-Compliance Issues. If all or any part of the Facility shall encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjoining or adjacent to the Premises, or shall violate the agreements or conditions affecting the Premises or any part thereof or shall violate any Laws or Legal Requirements, or shall hinder, obstruct or impair any easement or right-of-way to which the Premises is subject, then, promptly after written request of Landlord (unless such encroachment, violation of any agreements or conditions of record, hindrance, obstruction or impairment (a) existed or was constructed prior to the Date of Rent Commencement and constituted an encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment as of the Date of Rent Commencement; (b) is a Permitted Encumbrance in existence as of the Date of Rent Commencement and constituted an encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment as of the Date of Rent Commencement, or (c) subsequently arises with the prior written consent of Landlord and Lender, and Landlord and Lender have obtained, at Tenant’s cost, affirmative title insurance coverage against any loss arising due to any such matter on terms and conditions satisfactory to Landlord and Lender in their sole discretion, provided that this clause (c) shall not relieve Tenant from any liability for the removal, remedying, repair or replacement of any such encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment to the extent that the same exists) or of any person affected thereby, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, either (i) obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting therefrom, or (ii) make such changes, including alterations to the Facility (subject, however, to Tenant’s maintenance and repair obligations in Section 10.1) and take such other action as shall be necessary to remove or eliminate such encroachments, violations, hindrances, obstructions or impairments, provided that, if Landlord’s or Lender’s consent is required for such changes pursuant to this Lease, Landlord’s or Lender’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall have no liability for and shall not be required to take any action to remove or eliminate any Permitted Encumbrance in existence as of the Date of Rent Commencement that constituted an encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment as of the Date of Rent Commencement.

10.3 Tenant’s Failure to Perform. If Tenant shall be in default under any of the provisions of this Section 10, Landlord may, after thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant and failure of Tenant to cure during said period (or such longer period of time as may reasonably be necessary, but under no circumstances longer than a total of ninety (90) days, if the default may not be cured within thirty (30) days but Tenant has commenced and is diligently pursuing a cure of such default), but without notice in the event of an emergency, do whatever is necessary to cure such default as may be appropriate under the circumstances for the account of and at the expense of Tenant. If an emergency exists, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of the situation by phone or other available communication before taking any such action to cure such default. All reasonable sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest at the Lease Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring of the expense, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

10.4 Inspection Prior to Expiration of Term. One (1) year prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall at its own expense cause the Premises to be inspected, the results of which shall be made available to Landlord and Lender not less than eleven (11) months prior to the end of the Term, to determine whether the condition of the Premises complies with the requirements of this Lease. In addition to any document or information which Tenant is expressly required to deliver pursuant to this Lease, Tenant will also deliver to Landlord, promptly upon request, information with respect to the Premises reasonably (both as to content and frequency) requested by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage or any other documents evidencing or securing the Loan; provided that this shall not increase the obligations of Tenant to deliver environmental reports beyond that required in Section 38.

10.5 Lender Required Repairs. Tenant shall be responsible for any repairs to the Facility or reserves for repairs to the Facility required by Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.

10.6 Life Safety Repairs. Tenant shall make such repairs and replacements relating to items covered by temporary life safety code waivers if such temporary life safety code waivers are not continued or are otherwise removed and shall correct any deficiencies or violations previously covered by such waivers, at Tenant’s sole cost, within the time periods required by applicable governmental authorities.

10.7 Capital Reserve Deposits. Tenant shall be required to make Capital Reserve Deposits and shall make monthly deposits with Landlord, in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) (or such greater amount as may be reasonably required by Lender) of the Capital Reserve Deposit to fund future anticipated capital expenditures. The Capital Reserve Deposits shall be due and payable on the first (1st) day of each month as Additional Rent. The Capital Reserve Deposits shall not bear interest, unless interest on the Capital Reserve Deposits is paid to Landlord by Lender. The Capital Reserve Deposits shall be held by Landlord and/or Lender and shall be used to pay the capital expenditures as they become due and payable. If the amount of Tenant’s payments as made under this Section 10.7 shall be less than the total amount due or otherwise required, then Tenant shall pay the full deficiency. Tenant shall provide all capital expenditure draw requests to Landlord in writing along with receipts and or invoices documenting the amount of the capital expenditure to be reimbursed by Landlord. Upon receipt of such receipts, invoices and/or additional documentation reasonably requested by Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such costs up to the amount of Capital Reserve Deposits made by Tenant and then being held by Landlord and/or Lender.

11.1 Tenant’s Obligations. During the Term, Tenant shall comply with all Laws and Legal Requirements relating to the Premises. As used herein, (i) the term “Laws” shall mean all present and future laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations and requirements, even if unforeseen or extraordinary, of every duly constituted governmental authority or agency (but excluding those which by their terms are not applicable to and do not impose any obligation on Tenant, Landlord or the Premises or which are due to take effect after expiration of the Term), and (ii) the term “Legal Requirements” shall mean all Laws and all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or in the future of record which may be applicable to Tenant, Landlord (with respect to the Premises) or to all or any part of or interest in the Premises, or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of the Premises.

11.2 Tenant’s Right to Contest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant’s own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Law or Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Law or Legal Requirement to Tenant or the Premises or any alleged violation of any Law or Legal Requirement, provided that (i) Tenant is not in default of any of the provisions of this Lease, which default has lapsed beyond any applicable notice and cure period; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Tenant is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Premises, nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Tenant shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Law or Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Law or Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Law or Legal Requirement against Tenant or the Premises; and (vi) Tenant shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding to insure compliance with such Law or Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.

12. Access to Premises.

12.1 Access Rights. Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord and Lender and their respective employees, contractors, agents and representatives may enter onto the Premises to (i) show the Premises to purchasers and potential purchasers, and to mortgagees and potential mortgagees, or (ii) for the purpose of inspecting the Premises or performing any work which Landlord is permitted to perform under this Lease; provided, that, for purposes of subpart (ii) of this sentence, Landlord and Lender shall not be required to give notice prior to entry onto the Premises in the event of an emergency situation. Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, during the six (6) months preceding the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord also may enter onto the Premises to show the Premises to persons wishing to rent the same, at reasonable times and accompanied by a representative of Tenant. No such entry shall constitute an eviction of Tenant but any such entry shall be done by Landlord in such reasonable manner as to minimize any disruption of Tenant’s business operations.

12.2 Lender Meetings. Upon request of Lender, Tenant will arrange for meetings between such Lender (or its representatives) and a representative of Tenant designated by Tenant to discuss operations at the Premises; provided, that Tenant shall not be obligated to arrange for such meetings more than once in each calendar quarter.

12.3 Lender’s Rights under Mortgage. Further, Tenant hereby agrees to the licenses and other rights to enter onto the Premises which are granted to Lender under the Mortgage, and Tenant shall cause each and every subtenant and assignee of Tenant to agree thereto.

13. Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant each waive any rights of action for negligence against the other party, which may arise during the Term for damage to the Premises or to the property therein resulting from any fire or other casualty, but only to the extent covered by insurance or to the extent the same would have been covered by the insurance had Tenant maintained the insurance to be maintained under this Lease.

14. Damage; Destruction.

14.1 In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises by fire, the elements or other casualty during the Term (a “Casualty”), Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender, if any, prompt written notice thereof. Tenant shall adjust, collect and compromise any and all claims covered by insurance.

14.2 In the event of any such Casualty (whether or not insured against) the Term shall continue and there shall be no abatement or reduction of Base Rent, Additional Rent or of any other sums payable by Tenant hereunder.

14.3 All proceeds of any insurance required to be carried hereunder less any and all expenses of Landlord or Lender in collecting such proceeds, if any (the “Net Proceeds”) shall be delivered to Tenant to apply in accordance with the terms of this Lease if (i) the estimated cost of restoring or repairing the Premises to as nearly as possible to its value, condition, character, utility and useful life immediately before such Condemnation or Casualty, but in any event assuming the Premises have been maintained in accordance with the requirements of Section 10 (such restoration or repair of the Premises, whether in connection with a Condemnation or a Casualty, as the context requires, herein called a “Restoration”), shall be the C&C Threshold Repair Amount or less, (ii) no Event of Default or Disqualifying Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) the long-term unsecured debt of Tenant is rated at least BBB by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) and at least Baa2 by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) (the “Minimum Rating”). In all other events the Net Proceeds shall be delivered to a trustee which shall be a federally insured bank or other financial institution, selected by Landlord and Tenant and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the “Trustee”) to be held and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.5; provided, however, that if at the time of the delivery of the Net Proceeds a Mortgage is in existence, the Lender or the servicer of the Loan may act as Trustee without the consent of either Landlord or Tenant. As used herein, a “Disqualifying Default” shall mean and include (i) any uncured failure to make any payment of Base Rent when due hereunder, and (ii) the occurrence of any event or condition described in subparts (vi) or (vii) of Section 23.1 hereof without regard to any notice or lapse of time set forth in such subparts which may be required for such events or conditions to mature into an Event of Default.

14.4 Tenant shall, whether or not the Net Proceeds of such insurance are sufficient for the purpose or delivered to Tenant, promptly complete the Restoration of the Improvements damaged by any such Casualty in compliance with all requirements set forth in this Lease and all Legal Requirements, and such Restoration shall be completed in such a manner as not to impair the market value or usefulness of the Premises for use in Tenant’s ordinary course of business, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the estimated cost thereof (the “Restoration Cost”). Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall have the right to enter the Premises for the purpose of assessing and adjusting the amount of the Restoration Cost, and Landlord shall have the right in its reasonable discretion to reasonably approve the amount of the Restoration Cost. Tenant shall not have any right to xxxxx the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent as a result of any Casualty.

14.5 Net Proceeds held by the Trustee shall be invested in accordance with prudent investment standards adopted by the Landlord, Lender and Tenant from time to time, and shall be disbursed from time to time in accordance with the following conditions:

(a) Before commencing the Restoration the architects, general contractor(s), and plans and specifications for the Restoration shall be approved by Landlord and Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and which approval shall be granted to the extent that the plans and specifications depict a Restoration which is substantially similar to the improvements and equipment which existed prior to the occurrence of the Casualty or Taking, whichever is applicable, or, if the Facility was under construction prior thereto, which depict a Restoration to the condition to which the Facility was to have been constructed.

(b) At the time of any requested disbursement, no Event of Default or Disqualifying Default shall exist and no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have been filed and remain undischarged or unbonded, with the exception of any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens caused by Landlord.

(c) Disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the hard and soft cost of the work and costs incurred since the last disbursement upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects’ certificates of the stage of completion, of the estimated costs of completion and of performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (B) partial releases of liens, if the same are obtainable or, if such partial releases are not obtainable, endorsements to Landlord’s and Lender’s title insurance policies showing no exceptions for mechanics’ or materialmen’s or any similar liens, and (C) other reasonable evidence of cost and payment so that Landlord can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work that is completed in place or delivered to the site and free and clear of mechanics’ lien claims.

(d) Each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant or its architect describing the work, materials or other costs or expenses for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith and stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work or expense and the certificate to be delivered by Tenant upon completion of the work shall, in addition, state that the work has been substantially completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease.

(e) The Trustee may retain ten percent (10%) of the Net Proceeds until the Restoration is at least eighty percent (80%) complete and five percent (5%) of the Net Proceeds thereafter, which amount may continue to be held as retainage until the completion of all punch list items following substantial completion of the Restoration.

(f) At all times the undisbursed balance of the Net Proceeds held by Trustee plus any funds contributed thereto by Tenant, at its option, shall be not less than the cost of completing the Restoration, free and clear of all liens.

(g) In addition, before commencement of Restoration and at any time during Restoration, if the estimated cost of Restoration, as reasonably determined by an independent architect mutually agreed upon by the parties in their reasonable discretion, exceeds the amount of the Net Proceeds available for such Restoration, the amount of such excess shall (i) be paid by Tenant to the Trustee to be added to the Net Proceeds, (ii) be secured by Tenant by posting a payment bond or other security in form and in the amount of such excess, as reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iii) be secured by Tenant by providing Landlord with an irrevocable letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and issued by a bank which is a commercial bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), having banking offices at which the Letter of Credit may be drawn down upon in Irvine, California, payable at sight to Landlord, or (iv) Tenant shall fund at its own expense the costs of such Restoration until the remaining Net Proceeds are sufficient for the completion of the Restoration. For purposes of determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of funds remaining after the completion of Restoration, the Net Proceeds shall be deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.

(h) Provided no Event of Default or Disqualifying Default exists and is continuing, any Net Proceeds remaining after final payment has been made for such Restoration shall be promptly delivered to Tenant. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default or a Disqualifying Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall be entitled to retain any remaining Net Proceeds and to apply the same to either repair the damages or to pay other amounts accrued and payable to Landlord hereunder or Lender under the Mortgage, at Lender’s or, if there is then no Lender, Landlord’s sole option. No such retention by Landlord shall impose on Landlord any obligation to repair the Premises or relieve Tenant of its obligations to repair the Premises.

15. Condemnation.

15.1 Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any proceeding for condemnation or eminent domain with respect to the Premises (a “Taking” or “Condemnation”), Tenant and Landlord shall each notify the other and Lender, and Tenant shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding at Tenant’s sole expense. Subject to the provisions of this Section 15, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord’s Lender or to Landlord, in that order, any award or payment in respect of any Condemnation of the Premises, except that (except as hereinafter provided) nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to assign to Landlord or Lender any award relating to the value of the leasehold interest created by this Lease or any award or payment on account of an interruption of Tenant’s business at the Premises or the Tenant’s trade fixtures, moving expenses and out-of-pocket expenses incidental to the move, if available, to the extent Tenant shall have a right to make a separate claim therefor against the condemnor, it being agreed, however, that Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any payment that reduces the award to which Landlord is or would be entitled for the condemnation of Landlord’s interest in the Premises.

15.2 If (i) the entire Premises or (ii) a material portion of the Facility or land comprising a portion of the Premises the loss of which would, in Tenant’s commercially reasonable judgment, render the Premises unsuitable for Restoration or for the continued use and occupancy in Tenant’s business after Restoration, shall be the subject of a Taking (a “Major Condemnation”), then not later than ninety (90) days after such Taking has occurred, Tenant shall serve written notice upon Landlord and Lender (“Tenant’s Termination Notice”) of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease on any Base Rent payment Due Date specified in such notice, which Due Date (the “Involuntary Conversion Termination Date”) shall be no sooner than sixty (60) days and no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after Tenant’s Termination Notice but, in any event, not later than the last day of the Term of this Lease.

15.3 In the event of any Taking of a portion of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the net award resulting from the Taking, i.e., after deducting therefrom all expenses incurred in the collection thereof shall be held in accordance with Section 14.3. In the event of any such Taking, Tenant shall promptly commence and diligently complete the Restoration (as defined in Section 14.3) of the Premises in accordance with all Laws and Legal Requirements and all other terms of this Lease. Any net award from Condemnation not resulting in a termination of this Lease shall be disbursed in the same manner as set forth with respect to Net Proceeds in Section 14.5, provided, however, that Net Proceeds remaining after final payment has been made for such Restoration shall be promptly delivered to Landlord and shall be owned by Landlord.

15.4 No agreement with any Taking authority in settlement of or under threat of any Taking shall be made by Landlord or Lender without Tenant’s prior written consent (provided, that Tenant’s consent shall, not be required if an Event of Default or a Disqualifying Default then exists and is continuing), or by Tenant without Landlord’s and Lender’s prior written consent.

15.5 In the case of any Taking, all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other obligations of Tenant shall continue unabated until the termination of this Lease.

16. Assignment and Subletting.

16.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign this Lease or any interest therein, or to sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event of any permitted assignment or sublease of this Lease, Tenant shall remain liable for the obligations of Tenant hereunder, which liability of Tenant shall be and remain that of a primary obligor and not a guarantor or surety. Tenant agrees that in the case of a permitted assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of any such assignment, deliver to Landlord (i) a duplicate original of such assignment in recordable form and (ii) an agreement executed and acknowledged by the assignee in recordable form wherein the assignee shall agree to assume and agree to observe and perform all of the terms and provisions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be observed and performed from and after the date of such assignment. In the case of a permitted sublease, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of such sublease, deliver to Landlord a duplicate original of such sublease. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to assign or sublet this Lease to an entity with long-term unsecured debt rated below the Minimum Rating. Any sublease or license shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease.

16.2 For the purposes of this Section 16.2, the term “assign” or “assignment” shall include the following events: if Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change (voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law or otherwise) of any of the general partners thereof or of general and limited partners owning in the aggregate fifty percent (50%) or more of the capital and profits of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership; or if Tenant consists of more than one person, a purported assignment, transfer, mortgage or encumbrance (voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law or otherwise) from one thereof unto the other or others thereof; or, if Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or any change in the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of its capital stock or fifty percent (50%) or more of its voting stock from the ownership existing on the date of execution hereof; or, the sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the assets of Tenant.

17. Alterations.

17.1 Tenant may make non-structural, interior and/or exterior alterations, changes, additions, improvements, reconstructions or replacements of any of the Premises (“alterations”), other than those which would result in a diminution in the value of the Premises, that do not exceed the Threshold Repair Amount in the aggregate. Unless required by applicable federal, state or local law or regulation, Tenant shall obtain the prior written consent of Landlord and Lender to any alteration (i) which would result in a diminution in the value of the Premises, (ii) the cost of which in the aggregate exceeds the Threshold Repair Amount or (iii) which is structural in nature, which consent to a structural alteration shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limitation, in determining whether a structural alteration is “reasonable” for purposes of subsection (iii) of the preceding sentence, Landlord shall have the right to consider whether such alteration would impair the structural integrity of the Premises, would impair the fair market value of the Premises, or would otherwise adversely affect the overall marketability of the Premises, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable discretion.

17.2 Tenant shall do all such work in a good and workmanlike manner, at its own cost, and in accordance with Laws and Legal Requirements. Tenant shall discharge, within sixty (60) days after notice of the filing of the same (by payment or by filing the necessary bond, or otherwise), any mechanics’, materialmen’s or other lien against the Premises and/or Landlord’s interest therein, which lien may arise out of any payment due for any labor, services, materials, supplies, or equipment furnished to or for Tenant in, upon, or about the Premises.

17.3 At Tenant’s sole cost and without liability to Landlord, Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant (including signing applications upon Tenant’s written request) in obtaining any necessary permits, variances and consents for any alterations which Tenant is permitted or required to make hereunder; provided none of the foregoing shall, in any manner, result in a material reduction of access to or ingress to or egress from the Premises, a diminution in the value of the Premises, a change in zoning having a material adverse effect on the ability to use the Premises for the Healthcare Business by Tenant or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the ability to use the Premises for the Healthcare Business by Tenant.

17.4 Tenant agrees that in connection with any alteration: (i) the fair market value of the Premises shall not be lessened by more than a de minimus extent after the completion of any such alteration, or its structural integrity impaired; (ii) all such alterations shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, and shall be expeditiously completed in compliance with all Legal Requirements; (iii) Tenant shall promptly pay all costs and expenses of any such alteration; (iv) Tenant shall procure and pay for all permits and licenses required in connection with any such alteration; and (v) all alterations shall be made (in the case of any alteration the estimated cost of which in any one instance exceeds the Threshold Repair Amount) under the supervision of an architect or engineer and in accordance with plans and specifications which shall be submitted to Landlord and Lender (for information purposes only) prior to the commencement of the alterations.

17.5 All contracts and payments to contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and other persons in connection with any alteration, Restoration, repair or other work performed at the Premises shall be entered into, made and performed in compliance with all Laws and Legal Requirements.

18. Signs.

At Tenant’s sole cost and without liability to Landlord, Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant (including signing applications upon Tenant’s written request) in obtaining any necessary permits, variances and consents for Tenant’s Signs. All Signs of Tenant shall comply with Laws and Legal Requirements.

19. Surrender.

19.1 At the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as they were at the commencement of the Term or may be put in thereafter in accordance with this Lease, reasonable wear and tear and (other than for any Restoration required by the terms of this Lease) damage to the Premises by any Major Condemnation of the Premises excepted. All alterations, except Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures, satellite communications dish and equipment, computer and other similar moveable equipment and shelving (“trade fixtures”), shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the termination or other expiration of the Term. At the expiration or termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove its trade fixtures, as well as its Signs and identification marks, from the Premises. Tenant agrees to repair any and all damage caused by such removal. Trade fixtures and personal property not so removed at the end of the Term or within thirty (30) days after the earlier termination of the Term for any reason whatsoever shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed from the Premises. The reasonable cost of removing and disposing of such property and repairing any damage to any of the Premises caused by such removal shall be borne by Tenant. Landlord shall not in any manner or to any extent be obligated to reimburse Tenant for any property which becomes the property of Landlord as a result of such expiration or earlier termination. The provisions of this Section 19.1 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease for a period of twenty-four (24) months.

19.2 Upon termination of this Lease for any reason, Tenant will return to Landlord the Premises licensed by the State of Texas and by any and all governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Premises as a skilled nursing facility with at least the Minimum Licensed Beds (subject to any reduction in the number of licensed beds required by any governmental authority solely as a result of changes in laws, rules and regulations relating to the physical attributes of the improvements on the Premises) with an unrestricted license in full force and good standing for no less than the Minimum Licensed Beds (subject to any reduction in the number of licensed beds required by any governmental authority solely as a result of changes in laws, rules and regulations relating to the physical attributes of the improvements on the Premises).

19.3 Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall enter into a mutually agreeable operating transition agreement (the “OTA”) with Landlord in order to provide for the orderly transition of the operation of the facility following the termination of this Lease. The OTA shall provide for a procedure for the assignment and assumption of all resident agreements, operating agreements and other agreements that Landlord elects to have assigned from Tenant. In addition, the OTA shall address the transition of licensing requirements for the Facility under all applicable Legal Requirements.

20. Subordination of Lease; Mortgage Reserves.

20.1 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage and to all advances made upon the security thereof provided that Lender shall execute and deliver to Tenant an agreement in a form reasonably requested by Lender (“SNDA Agreement”), providing that Lender recognizes this Lease and agrees to not disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not then in default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period. Tenant agrees, upon receipt of such SNDA Agreement, to execute such SNDA Agreement and such further reasonable instruments) as may be necessary to so subordinate this Lease. The term “Mortgage” shall include any mortgages, deeds of trust or any other similar hypothecations on the Premises securing Lender’s Loan to Landlord, regardless of whether or not such Mortgage is recorded.

20.2 Attornment. Upon written notice to Tenant, Tenant agrees to attorn, from time to time, to Lender, and to any purchaser of the Premises, for the remainder of the Term, provided that Lender or such purchaser shall then be entitled to possession of the Premises, subject to the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall be entitled to rely on the truth of the facts set forth in any such notice and shall not be liable to Landlord for such reliance or attornment.

Each such party shall however, upon demand of the other, execute instruments in confirmation of the foregoing provisions reasonably satisfactory to the parties acknowledging such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment and setting forth the terms and conditions hereof.

20.3 Consent to Assignment of Lease to Lender. Tenant hereby consents to any assignment of this Lease by Landlord to or for the benefit of any Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, all real estate tax, insurance reserve, capital expenditure reserves or other reserves required by the Lender against the Premises during the term of this Lease shall be paid by the Tenant to Landlord and shall be repaid to Tenant to the extent not applied in accordance with this Lease or the Mortgage when such holder repays such sums to Landlord and to the extent same are not required to be held for any replacement mortgage or are required to fund obligations of the Tenant under this Lease. Real estate taxes for the first year of the Lease Term shall be prorated in the same manner as the real estate taxes were prorated in connection with Landlord’s acquisition of the Premises.

(b) Tenant’s failure to make any payment when due of any installment of Additional Rent payable hereunder and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after notice of such default is sent to Tenant by Landlord (or Lender).

(c) The failure by Tenant to maintain insurance as required under this Lease, provided that if the insurance required under this Lease lapses for a period not in excess of thirty (30) days, and Tenant reinstates such lapsed insurance without a claim having been made, then such Event of Default shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Lease, provided further that Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any claim arising in connection with such lapsed insurance.

(d) Tenant’s failure to abide by any of the other covenants, agreements or obligations of this Lease, and such default shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord (or Lender) specifying such default, provided, that if Tenant has commenced to cure within said thirty (30) days, and thereafter is in good faith diligently prosecuting same to completion, said thirty (30) day period shall be extended, for a reasonable time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days or, with respect to a breach of Tenant’s obligations under Section 38, such longer period as may reasonably be necessary to cure such default so long as (i) Tenant delivers to Landlord a certificate of a qualified environmental remediation specialist that such default could not be cured within such one hundred eighty (180) days but is curable, and (ii) Tenant is in good faith diligently prosecuting such cure to completion) where, due to the nature of a default, it is unable to be completely cured within thirty (30) days.

(e) Any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of its property whereby the Premises shall be taken or occupied or attempted to be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant, and the same shall not be bonded, dismissed, or discharged as promptly as possible under the circumstances

(g) The estate or interest of Tenant in the Premises shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred and such process shall not be vacated or discharged within sixty (60) days after such levy or attachment.

(h) Any material representation or warranty made by Tenant to Landlord herein or in any document delivered pursuant to this Lease is misleading or false when made.

(i) The occurrence of an Adverse Healthcare Event at the Facility; provided if (i) the default described in this Section is curable, (ii) Tenant diligently commences the cure of such default and uses commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue any appeals or other required actions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and (iii) such default does not affect the ability of Tenant to comply with its financial obligations under this Lease, then such Adverse Healthcare Event shall not constitute a default until the earlier to occur of (A) final, adverse action upholding, in whole or in part, such termination, suspension, or material adverse action or restriction or (B) the passage of ninety (90) days from the date such termination, suspension or material adverse action or restriction was instituted without a final action having occurred.

23.2 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Landlord shall not be required to serve Tenant with any notice or demands as a prerequisite to its exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Lease, other than those notices and demands specifically required under this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to give Tenant notice of Landlord’s termination of the Term of this Lease. Upon the giving of such notice, the Term of this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate on such date as fully and completely and with the same effect as if such date were the date herein fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

23.3 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall have the immediate right, whether or not the Term of this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 23.2, to re-enter and repossess the Premises and change the locks, and the right to remove all persons and property therefrom by summary proceedings, ejectment, any other legal action or in any lawful manner Landlord determines to be necessary or desirable. Landlord shall be under no liability by reason of any such re-entry, repossession or removal. No such re-entry, repossession or removal shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such termination is given to Tenant pursuant to Section 23.2. In order to regain possession of the Premises and to deny Tenant access thereto, Landlord or its agent may, at the expense and liability of the Tenant, alter or change any or all locks or other security devices controlling access to the Premises without posting or giving notice of any kind to the Tenant and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant a key to new locks installed in the Premises or grant Tenant access to the Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to recover possession of the Premises, terminate this Lease, or recover any actual, incidental, consequential, punitive, statutory or other damages or award of attorneys’ fees, by reason of Landlord’s alteration or change of any lock or other security device and the resulting exclusion from the Premises of the Tenant or Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, customers, licensees, invitees or any other persons from the Premises.

23.4 At any time or from time to time after a re-entry, repossession or removal pursuant to Section 23.3, whether or not the Term of this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 23.2, Landlord may (but, except to the extent expressly required by any applicable Law, shall be under no obligation to) relet the Premises for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise, without notice to Tenant, for such term or terms and on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord, in its absolute discretion, may determine. Landlord may collect any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Except to the extent required by applicable Law, Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to relet the Premises or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting.

23.5 No expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease pursuant to Section 23.2, by operation of law or otherwise, and no re-entry, repossession or removal pursuant to Section 23.3 or otherwise, and no reletting of the Premises pursuant to Section 23.4 or otherwise, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession, removal or reletting,

23.6 In the event of any expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease or re-entry or repossession of the Premises or removal of persons or property therefrom by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant, in each case together with interest thereon at the Lease Default Rate from the due date thereof to and including the date of such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal; and thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal and whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current damages: (i) all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of any such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Tenant pursuant to Section 23.4, after deducting from such proceeds all reasonable expenses of Landlord in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of appellate proceedings), alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such liquidated and agreed current damages on the dates on which Base Rent would be payable under this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover the same from Tenant on each such date.

23.7 In lieu of the remedy set forth in Section 23.6, at any time after any such expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease or re-entry or repossession of the Premises or removal of persons or property thereon by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant’s default and in lieu of all liquidated and agreed current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the sum of (i) the excess, if any of (A) the aggregate of all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease for what would be the then-unexpired Term of this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal, discounted at the rate equal to the then current rate on U.S. Treasury obligations of comparable maturity to such Term (the “Treasury Rate”), but in no event greater than the non-default rate of interest for the Loan (such lower rate being referred to as the “Discount Rate”) over (B) the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided by commercially reasonable mitigation efforts by Landlord, discounted at the Discount Rate for the same period, plus (ii) all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord and Lender as a result of Tenant’s default under this Lease. If any Law shall limit the amount of liquidated final damages to less than the amount above agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such Law.

Except as specificallyl set forth in this Lease, mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy at law or in equity, including the right of injunction. Tenant waives any rights of redemption granted by any Laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed, for any cause, or if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the terms of this Lease.

23.8 In addition to the foregoing remedies set forth in this Section 23 and all other remedies available at law or in equity, and regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under this Lease, if Tenant has failed to perform any of its duties, obligations, covenants or agreements under this Lease, Landlord may give notice to Tenant that it has failed to perform any such duty, obligation, covenant or agreement (herein called a “Notice of Breach”) and, if Tenant fails to cure such failure within ten (10) days after receipt of the Notice of Breach, Landlord may thereafter pursue any rights or remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, filing a suit for damages as a result of such breach or a suit for specific performance of any such duties, obligations, covenants or agreements. Any Notice of Breach delivered under this Section 23.8 or any such rights or remedies pursued by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a notice of default under any provision of this Section 23 and shall not result, with or without the passage of time, in an Event of Default existing under this Lease; provided that the delivery of any such Notice of Breach shall not limit Landlord’s right (which right will not be exercised without the consent of Lender so long as the Premises are subject to a Mortgage which requires Lender’s consent for the exercise thereof) to subsequently deliver notice (with respect to the same event or condition which is the subject of such Notice of Breach or any other event or condition) which will declare or, with the passage of time, result in an Event of Default hereunder. Further, after delivery of any such Notice of Breach, but without notice in the event of an emergency, if Tenant fails to cure such breach during the time that Tenant has to cure such breach under Section 23.1 above, Landlord may do whatever is reasonably necessary and permitted hereunder to cure such breach as may be appropriate under the circumstances for the account of and at the expense of Tenant. All reasonable sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Lease Default Rate from the date of payment, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

23.9 Tenant acknowledges that one of the rights and remedies available to Landlord under applicable law is to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of part or all of the Premises, to collect the rents, issues, profits and income of the Premises and to manage the operation of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that the revocation or suspension of the certification of any portion of the Premises for provider status under Medicare or Medicaid (or successor programs) for a period of thirty (30) days or more and/or the revocation or suspension of a license relating to the operation of any portion of the Premises for its intended use under the laws of the State for a period of thirty (30) days or more will materially and irreparably impair the value of Landlord's investment in the Premises. Therefore, in any of such events, and in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may petition any appropriate court for, and Tenant hereby consents to, the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Property, to manage its operation, to collect and disburse all rents, issues, profits and income generated thereby and to preserve or replace to the extent possible any such license and provider certification for the Property or to otherwise substitute the licensee or provider thereof. The receiver shall be entitled to a reasonable fee for its services as a receiver. All such fees and other expenses of the receivership estate shall be added to the Minimum Rent due to Landlord under this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably stipulates to the appointment of a receiver under such circumstances and for such purposes and agrees not to contest such appointment. Tenant agrees to waive all rights to negotiate terms of an OTA and further agrees to execute all transfer documentation including an XXX.

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that HUD’s acceptance of this Lease in connection with the closing of the HUD Loan shall in no way constitute HUD’s consent to arrangements which are inconsistent with HUD Program Requirements.

This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.

Upon such HUD termination request, Tenant shall immediately arrange to terminate the contract within a period of not more than thirty (30) days and shall make arrangements satisfactory to HUD for continuing proper management of the Premises.
