RECITALS
In consideration of the mutual undertakings and covenants hereinafter contained and the acts to be performed hereunder, Landlord hereby agrees to lease to Tenant: the one hundred unit (100) unit assisted living facility commonly known as Arbor Place and located at 12806 Bothell Everett Highway, Everett, Washington 98208 (the “Facility”), which is located on the real property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Real Property”), on the terms and conditions set forth below:
1. The Premises
1.1 Real Property; Facility. Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases and takes from Landlord, the Real Property and the Facility.
1.2 Personal Property. Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases and takes from Landlord, the equipment, furniture, furnishings, and fixtures owned or leased by Landlord and located at or used in connection with the operation of the Facility and any additional items added thereto from time to time by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant (such equipment, furniture, furnishings and fixtures, together with all additions thereto or replacements thereof will hereinafter be referred to as the “Personal Property”). If any equipment (other than for replacement of the Personal Property) is necessary or convenient to operate the Facility, all such additional equipment shall be acquired by and at the cost of Tenant (the “Tenant’s Equipment”), and except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the same shall be and remain the property of Tenant.
1.2.1 Tenant shall keep all of the Personal Property in good working order and condition at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and at the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall return and deliver all of such property to Landlord in as good order and condition as when received hereunder, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If necessary for the proper operation of the Facility, Tenant shall during the Lease Term replace part or all of the items of Personal Property which have been damaged or destroyed or become worn out or obsolete, and such replacement shall be at the sole cost of Tenant, but any such replaced Personal Property shall be and remain the property of Landlord.
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
1.2.2 Landlord agrees upon request of Tenant to subordinate any statutory or Landlord’s lien that Landlord may have to any security interest granted by Tenant to secure a purchase money obligation or an acquisition lease of any of Tenant’s Equipment acquired by Tenant pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.3 Premises. Throughout this Lease, the Real Property, the Facility, the Personal Property and any other improvements located on the Real Property, will collectively be referred to as the “Premises”. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the Premises shall in no event include Tenant’s Equipment as defined in Section 1.2.
2. Term
2.1 Initial Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall extend for a period of ten (10) years thereafter, unless earlier terminated as provided herein (the “Initial Lease Term”). The Initial Lease Term, together with any of the exercised Renewal Terms (as defined below), may hereinafter be referred to as the “Lease Term.”
2.2 Renewal Terms. Tenant shall have the right to renew this Lease beyond the Initial Lease Term for two successive ten (10) year renewal terms (the “Renewal Terms”) by giving notice of the exercise of its renewal option at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Lease Term or the applicable Renewal Term. In the event Tenant is in default on the date of the giving of notice of its intent to renew the Lease, the notice shall be ineffective; in the event Tenant is in default on the date the applicable Renewal Term is to commence, then the Renewal Term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire as of the end of the Initial Lease Term or any applicable Renewal Term. Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease beyond the expiration of the final Renewal Term.
2.3 Surrender. Upon the termination of this Lease, whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Tenant will at once surrender and deliver the Premises, together with all improvements thereof, to Landlord, in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Provided Tenant is not in default of its obligations under this Lease, at the time of surrender, at its sole cost, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Equipment, repair any injury or damage done to the Premises which may result from such removal and restore the Premises to the same condition as existed prior to the installation thereof.
3. Rent
3.1 Basic Rent
3.1.1 The annual rent due hereunder (the “Basic Rent”) shall be in an amount equal to the net profit of the Facility as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
3.1.2 For purposes of this Lease, a Lease Year shall be the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Commencement Date (or such shorter period if this Lease is earlier terminated in accordance with its terms). Basic Rent shall be paid in advance in monthly
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
installments in the amounts specified and shall be paid on the first day of each calendar month; provided, however, that the first monthly payment shall be due on the first day after the Commencement Date.
3.2 Proration. Except as otherwise provided, Basic Rent shall be payable in monthly installments to Landlord, at the address set forth in Section 17, or to such other person, firm or corporation at such other address as Landlord may designate by notice in writing to Tenant. If the Commencement Date or the expiration or termination date of this Lease shall be on a day other than the first day or the last day of a month, respectively, then Basic Rent shall be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed.
3.3 Taxes and Assessments. In addition to Basic Rent, Tenant shall pay all real estate taxes, general and special assessments, personal property taxes, and other public charges which are assessed, levied, confirmed, or imposed upon the Premises during the Lease Term, and all sales taxes and other taxes that are now or hereafter may be payable in connection with the Basic Rent payable hereunder during the Initial Lease Term and any Renewal Term (other than income taxes owing by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s payment of Basic Rent hereunder).
3.3.1 Any taxes and assessments relating to a fiscal period of any authority, a part of which is already included within the Initial Lease Term or any Renewal Term and a part of which is included in a period of time before or after the Initial Lease Term or any Renewal Term, shall be adjusted pro rata between Landlord and Tenant and each party shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any such taxes and assessments.
3.3.2 Nothing herein shall require Tenant to pay income taxes assessed against Landlord, or estate, succession or inheritance taxes of Landlord.
3.3.3 Tenant may contest, in its own name or in the name of Landlord, with Landlord’s cooperation, which Landlord agrees to give, the legality or validity of any such tax or assessment or of any law under which the same shall be imposed. This must be done in good faith, with due diligence, and at Tenant’s own expense. If Tenant does so contest such tax or assessment beyond the time limit for payment thereof by Tenant, Tenant shall do one of the following: Tenant may pay such amount under protest; procure and maintain a stay of all proceedings with adequate bond to enforce collection of such tax or assessment; or deposit with Landlord reasonable security for the payment of all contested sums. Once such action is taken by Tenant, Tenant shall not be considered to be in default hereunder with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant shall not exercise its contest rights in contravention of any of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation and the other financial institutions who are or hereafter become parties to the Loan Agreement (the “Lender”), under which Lender agreed to make a loan to Landlord in the original principal amount of [Eight Million and no/100 Dollars ($8,000,000)] (the “Facility Loan”) or any Mortgage (as defined in Section 3.4 below).
3.3.4 Tenant shall have, and Landlord hereby irrevocably grants to Tenant, the power and authority, at Tenant’s cost to make and file and prosecute any statement or report or claim for refund which may be required or permitted by law, as the basis of or in connection
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
with the assessment, determination, equalization, reduction or payment of any and every tax or assessment or license or charge which Tenant is required to pay or discharge hereunder.
3.3.5 Upon the termination of any such proceeding, Tenant shall pay the amount of such taxes and assessments or part thereof as finally determined in such proceedings, the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings, together with any costs, fees, interest, penalties or other liabilities in connection therewith.
3.3.6 If any income, profits or revenue tax shall be levied, assessed or imposed upon the income, profits or revenue arising from rents payable hereunder, partially or totally in lieu of or as a substitute for real estate or personal property taxes imposed upon the Premises during the Lease Term, then Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of such tax.
3.3.7 Any tax or insurance reserve required by Lender under the Facility Loan or by any Mortgagee (as defined in Section 3.4 below) under a Mortgage with respect to the Premises during the Lease Term shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, marked payable to such holder.
3.3.8 Except to the extent impounded pursuant to Section 3.3.7, Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all real and personal property taxes and assessments, payable hereunder by Tenant. In the event of a late payment, Tenant shall pay all interest and penalties plus the amount due. Tenant shall further provide Landlord with evidence of payment as soon as practicable after Landlord’s written request therefor.
3.4 Triple Net Lease; Additional Charges; Additional Rent. This Lease is intended to be triple net to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, net throughout the Initial Lease Term and any Renewal Term, the Basic Rent prescribed by Section 3.1, free of any offset, abatement, or other deduction, except as may be expressly set forth herein. Tenant is hereby obligated to make all rental payments set forth herein to Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to make any payment of any kind with respect to the Premises, except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein. Accordingly, Tenant agrees to pay all additional charges and costs described in Section 3.3, Section 7, Section 8.2, Section 10, Section 14.2 or elsewhere in this Lease as they become due and payable and the same shall be deemed to be “Additional Rent” under this Lease. To the extent Tenant pays the additional charges or costs to Landlord pursuant to any requirement of this Lease, Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay the same to any other person to which they would otherwise be due. If non payment of any additional charge or cost shall occur, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies, all rights and remedies provided for herein and by law in the case of non payment of rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for making all payments to Lender under the Facility Loan and to any other mortgage lender (each, a “Mortgagee”) under any other mortgage granted by Landlord with respect to the Premises (each, a “Mortgage”).
3.5 Late Charge. If any payment of any sums required to be paid or deposited by Tenant to or for the benefit of Landlord under this Lease and payments made by Landlord under any provision hereof for which Landlord is entitled to reimbursement by Tenant shall become overdue for a period of ten (10) days beyond the date on which they are due and payable as provided for in this Lease, a late charge equal to the greater of (a) any late charges assessed
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
against Landlord under the terms of the Facility Loan or any Mortgage or (b) five percent (5%) of the overdue amount, shall become immediately due and payable to Landlord, and said late charge shall be payable on the first day of the month next succeeding the month during which such late charge becomes payable. Such late charge shall compensate Landlord only for loss of interest on the payments due Landlord and shall be in addition to any and all other amounts, including damages, to which Landlord may be entitled pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity. The acceptance by Landlord of a late charge shall not limit or preclude Landlord from exercising its rights pursuant to Section 13. If non payment of any late charge shall occur, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies, all rights and remedies provided for herein and by law in the case of non payment of rent. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations to pay late charges shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its rights to enforce the provisions of this Section in any instance thereafter occurring.

Tenant shall perform all interior and exterior painting, and maintain the grounds of the Facility in a good and sightly appearance. Tenant shall be obligated during the Lease Term to make any repairs, replacements or renewals of any kind, nature or description whatsoever to the Premises.
7.2 Alterations. For changes, alterations or additions to the Premises undertaken after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall obtain the prior written consent of Landlord if such work requires the consent of the Lender under any of the Loan Documents otherwise Tenant shall not be permitted to undertake the same on notice to Landlord but without the need for Landlord’s consent.
7.3 Utilities. Tenant shall pay all charges for water, electricity, gas, sewage, waste, trash and garbage disposal, telephone, cable television, and other services furnished to the Premises from and after the Commencement Date.
8. Liens Against the Premises
8.1 Liens. Tenant will not permit the Premises to become subject to any lien, charge, or encumbrance. Tenant shall maintain the Premises free from all orders, notices, and violations filed or entered by any public or quasi public authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any such lien, charge, or encumbrance is imposed, Tenant may contest any such lien, charge, encumbrance, order, notice or violation. This must be done in good faith, with due diligence and at Tenant’s own expense and Tenant shall not be considered in default of the provisions of this Section 8.1 as a result of such contest, provided Tenant posts adequate bond with the court or, upon Landlord’s request, deposits with the Landlord reasonable security for the payment of all contested sums and otherwise complies with the requirements of the Loan Documents.
8.2 Discharge of Liens. Should a judgment on any lien, charge, encumbrance, order, notice or violation be rendered against the Premises and should Tenant fail to discharge such judgment or take action to protest such judgment, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to discharge said judgment. If Landlord exercises that option, any amounts paid by
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
Landlord shall be due from Tenant as Additional Rent. Such Additional Rent shall be due and payable on the next date after the expense is incurred that Basic Rent is otherwise due.
8.3 Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant shall take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that no lien arising under Washington’s Mechanic’s or Materialman’s Law as a result of construction done at the Premises at Tenant’s request, shall extend to the interest of Landlord, Lender or any Mortgagee in the Premises. Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the construction, alteration, demolition, maintenance and repair of any and all improvements on the Premises. Should a lien or claim of lien be filed against the Landlord’s or Lender’s or any Mortgage’s interest in the Premises by any contractor, subcontractor, mechanic, laborer, materialman or any other person whomsoever retained by Tenant, Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof or within such shorter period as may be required by the terms of the Loan Documents, cause the same to be discharged of record.
9. Non Liability and Indemnification. During the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify and save harmless Landlord, Lender and any Mortgagee (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all claims arising out of or connected with the use, occupancy and condition of the Premises and shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such claims, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees for trial and appellate proceedings. The Indemnified Parties shall be protected hereby from all claims arising during the Lease Term from loss of or damage to property, or death or injury to persons unless such loss, damage, death or injury is caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties.
10. Insurance
10.1 General Requirements. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall at all times keep the Premises insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance described in Exhibit F through an insurance carrier qualified to do business in the State of Washington. The policies must name Landlord as a named insured or loss payee. Losses shall be payable to Landlord and Tenant in the manner set forth in Section 11.1 herein. In addition, the policies shall name as an additional named insured and loss payee the Lender or Mortgagee by way of a standard form of mortgagee’s loss payable endorsement if required by the terms of the Loan Documents or any Mortgage. Any loss adjustment shall require the written consent of Landlord and Tenant and shall be in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or any Mortgage. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Landlord and, if requested, with Lender or any Mortgagee.
10.2 Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above, Tenant shall maintain such additional insurance as may be reasonably required from time to time by Lender or by any Mortgagee.
10.3 Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance policies carried by either party covering the Premises 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. The parties hereto agree that their policies will include such waiver clause or endorsement so long as the same are obtainable without extra cost, and in the event of such an extra charge the other party, at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
10.4 Limitation on Claims. To the extent that either Landlord or Tenant may have claims against the other for fire or casualty damage to the Premises or any portion thereof (including business interruption caused thereby), which claims are covered by insurance payable to and protecting the claiming party, the claiming party hereby agrees to exhaust all claims under such insurance before asserting any claims against the other party. The foregoing shall apply to claims for damage whether such damage is caused, wholly or partially, by the negligence or other fault of the other party or its agent, employees, subtenants, licensees, or assignees.
10.5 Premiums; Certificates. Tenant shall pay all of the insurance premiums, and deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy, at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the failure of Tenant either to effect such insurance in the names herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Landlord at the times required, Landlord shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which premiums shall be repayable to Landlord upon written demand therefor, and the failure to repay the same shall carry with it the same consequence as the failure to pay any installment of Basic Rent.
10.6 Limits. In the event that either party shall at any time deem the limits of the personal injury or property damage public liability insurance then carried to be either excessive or insufficient, the parties shall endeavor to agree on the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried; and such insurance shall thereafter be carried with the limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the provisions of this Section. If the parties shall be unable to agree thereon, the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried shall be determined by a mediator jointly selected by Tenant and Landlord.
10.7 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, Tenant’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 Tenant; provided, however, that the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of this Lease by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided further that the requirements of this Section 10 are otherwise satisfied.
10.8 Additional Rent. The cost of insurance requested to be carried by Tenant in this Section shall be deemed to be Additional Rent.
11. Damage and Destruction
11.1 Proceeds. Subject to Section 11.2 and to the extent made available by Lender or any Mortgagee, all proceeds payable by reason of any physical loss of any of the improvements comprising the Premises and insured under any policies of insurance required by this Lease shall be held in trust by Landlord and shall be available for the reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Premises and shall be paid out by Landlord from time to time for the reasonable cost of such work. Any excess of money received from insurance remaining with the Landlord after the restoration or reconstruction of the Premises shall be paid to Tenant free and clear upon completion or restoration or reconstruction. Any shortfall shall be
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
the Tenant’s responsibility. All salvage resulting from any such loss covered by insurance shall belong to Landlord.
11.2 Restoration. In the event any improvements comprising of the Facility, the Premises or the Personal Property are damaged by peril covered by insurance or required to be covered by insurance in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent proceeds are made available by Lender or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall commence to rebuild or restore the same within sixty (60) days after the proceeds of any insurance become available and pursuant to plans and specifications prepared by Tenant and approved by Landlord within said sixty (60) day period, and Tenant shall proceed with all due diligence to complete said repair or restoration within a commercially reasonable period of time. Any repair or restoration shall be undertaken by Tenant in such a manner as to ensure that upon its completion the Facility is of the same standard and quality as prior to the damage or destruction and shall comply with any requirements set forth in the Loan Documents or any Mortgage. In the event Lender or any Mortgagee elects not to make insurance proceeds available, Tenant shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Facility except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents or the Mortgage.
11.3 Effect on Lease. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to make rental payments and to pay all other charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during the period of repair or reconstruction.
12. Condemnation
12.1 Effect on Lease. If, during the Lease Term, the Premises and/or the Facility are taken or condemned in fee for a public or quasi public use Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event of the acceleration of the balance due under the Facility Loan or in connection with any loan secured by a Mortgage. If, during the Lease Term, less than all of the Premises and/or the Facility are taken or condemned and, as a result thereof the access to, use or operation thereof is not adversely affected in the opinion of Landlord, this Lease shall not terminate but Tenant shall be required to rebuild or restore the Premises and the Facility to the same condition in which they were in or to as close thereto as possible prior to the date of, and in light of the nature of, such taking.
12.2 Damages. All damages awarded in connection with the taking of the Premises shall vest in Landlord. All damages awarded in connection with the taking of the leasehold estate and Tenant’s Equipment shall vest in Tenant but only to the extent such damages do not diminish the award otherwise payable to Landlord.
13. Default and Remedies
13.1 Default by Tenant. The occurrence of any of the events, acts or circumstances described in Sections 13.1.1 through 13.1.7 shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Lease.
13.1.1 Failure by Tenant to pay in full any Basic Rent, Additional Rent, Net Profits or any other monetary obligation under this Lease when due, and the continuance of such
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
failure for ten (10) days after Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such failure or, in the case of the Basic Rent, for such shorter period as may be set forth in the Loan Documents.
13.1.2 Failure by Tenant to observe, perform or comply with any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease (other than as specified in Section 13.1.1 or Section 13.1.6), and the continuance of such failure for thirty (30) days after Landlord has given Tenant notice of such failure or for such shorter period as may be provided for the curing of such default under the terms of the Loan Documents. If Tenant has promptly commenced and diligently pursued remedial action within said thirty (30) day period but has been unable to cure its default (except for any default that can be reasonably cured by the payment of money) prior to the expiration thereof and if the Loan Documents provide for an extension of the cure period, said thirty (30) day period shall be extended for the minimum time reasonably required for the completion of Tenant’s remedial action but in no event for a period longer than authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any such failure of performance by Tenant is deemed to pose a substantial risk of harm to the patients of the Facility or to the licensure or, if applicable, certification status of the Facility, Tenant shall be required to cure such failure within a period of time as may be established by the state or federal authority having jurisdiction over the Facility or, if no such time frame is established, as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in no event within more than one (1) week from the determination of the existence of such condition; provided, however, that in the event Landlord is not satisfied that the Tenant is undertaking such cure within one half (1/2) of the time allocated by such authority or by the terms hereof, then Landlord shall have the right to enter into the Facility and to undertake the completion of such cure, in which case Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with respect thereto except for liability which Tenant incurs as a result of the Landlord’s gross negligence or wrongful misconduct in undertaking such cure.
13.1.3 The making by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or the commencement of proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction for the reorganization, liquidation or involuntary dissolution of Tenant of any guarantor of this Lease or for the adjudication of either such party as a bankrupt or insolvent or for the appointment of a receiver of the property of either such party, which proceeding are not dismissed and any receiver, trustee or liquidator appointed therein is not discharged, within thirty (30) days after the institution thereof.
13.1.4 The abandonment of the whole of the Premises by Tenant other than as a result of any repair or reconstruction following damage or destruction to, or any condemnation or taking of, the Premises.
13.1.5 The levying of a writ of execution or attachment on or against the property of Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease which is not discharged or stayed by action of said party contesting the same within thirty (30) days after such levy or attachment and/or the sale of the interest of Tenant in the Premises under such a writ of execution or attachment.
13.1.6 If (a) any government agency having jurisdiction over the Facility revokes or terminates any license required for the operation of the Facility for the use set forth in Section 4.2.3 above; (b) there is any involuntary decertification of the Facility from participation
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
in any state or federal reimbursement program, if applicable; or (c) there is any action taken by a state or federal agency which results in the removal of patients from the Facility as a result of deficiencies cited by said agency in the care rendered by Tenant at the Facility.
13.1.7 If there is any generation, disposal, release or use of any hazardous substance upon or from the Premises in violation of the terms of this Lease or applicable local, state or federal law.
13.2 Default by Landlord. The failure by Landlord to pay in full any Refund under this Lease when due, and the continuance of such failure for ten (10) days after Tenant has given Landlord written notice of such failure shall constitute a “Landlord Event of Default” under this Lease.
13.3 Landlord’s Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord, in addition to the other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right of re entry without any additional notice to Tenant. Should Landlord elect to re enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant for such term or terms, which may be for a term shorter than or for a term extending beyond the Lease Term, and at such rental or rentals and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may deem advisable. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease as a result of any Event of Default, in addition to any other remedy it may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages incurred by reason of such Event of Default, including the cost of recovering the Premises. In addition, should Landlord terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to take possession of the Tenant’s Equipment located at the Premises, and to recover as damages all costs incurred by Lender in connection with (a) removing and storing the Tenant’s Equipment, and (b) restoring the Premises following removal of the Tenant’s Equipment. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case all of Tenant’s rights in this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Possession of the Premises includes possession of all Personal Property, patients, patient records, Facility business records, general intangibles and proceeds. Any termination of this Lease by Landlord shall not in any event terminate Tenant’s obligation to pay rent and other amounts owed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease for the full Lease Term. Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant (i) the worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the termination of this Lease, and (ii) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of the award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably or has actually been avoided by Landlord, and (iii) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rents for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably or actually has been avoided by Landlord, and (iv) any other amount, and court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment and damage proximately caused by Tenant’s default. The worth at the time of the award as used in (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law (or twelve percent (12%) per annum if there is no maximum rate). The worth at the time
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
of the award as referred to in (iii) above is to be computed by discounting the amount at the annual discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%).
13.4 Injunctive Relief; Receiver. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may apply to any appropriate court for an injunction, the appointment of a receiver, or both. Any injunction or temporary restraining order issued prior to a final hearing may enjoin Tenant, its officers, agents and employees and those in active concert or participation with them, from removing from the Premises any patients, patient records, equipment, furniture, fixtures, Facility business records, monies and other things related in any way to Tenant’s business at the Facility; provided, however, that the receiver may only apply such monies in accordance with the order of the court. The receiver shall have all powers and duties necessary and reasonable to conduct Tenant’s business until this Lease is terminated. Responsibility for the costs associated with the appointment of a receiver shall be determined by the court.
13.5 Refunds. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, elect not to pay any Refund due any payable by Landlord (as defined in Section 24.2), in which case Landlord shall have no further obligation or liability in connection therewith.
13.6 Replacement Operator. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be construed as permitting Landlord to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Facility, with or without termination of the Lease, without making the necessary arrangements to assume, or to transfer to a qualified licensed operator, operational responsibility for the Facility. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any such transfer of operational responsibility for the Facility upon a termination of its right to possession of the Facility.
13.7 Tenant’s Sole Remedy. Upon the occurrence of a Landlord Event of Default, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to offset the amount of Net Profits due and payable by Tenant to Landlord against the amount of any unpaid Refund due any payable by Landlord.
13.8 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord or Tenant is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right, remedy, or power accruing upon any Event of Default or Landlord Event of Default shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof unless and until such Event of Default or Landlord Event of Default has been cured.
14. Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants
14.1 Right to Make Payments; Notice. If Tenant defaults in the making of any of the payments, or the performance of any of the obligations provided for in this Lease, Landlord may, at its option and on behalf of Tenant, make any such payments or perform any such obligations. Before exercising that option, however, Landlord must give Tenant written notice of Tenant’s default and of Landlord’s intention to correct that default. If thirty (30) days after such notice, or
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
such shorter time period as Landlord may specify in the notice if further delay would impair materially any substantial right, property, or benefit of Landlord, Tenant has not corrected such default, Landlord may exercise its rights under this Section 14.
14.2 Funds Expended Deemed Additional Rent. In the event Landlord performs any obligation on Tenant’s behalf, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amounts reasonably paid or expended, and the same shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder. This reimbursement shall be due and payable on the next Basic Rent payment date after the expense is incurred. Landlord shall not be held liable or in any way responsible for any loss, inconvenience, annoyance or damage resulting to Tenant on account of such performance by Landlord, unless Landlord is found to have been grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct in its performance. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, if not paid when the same become due as in this Lease provided, shall bear interest from the date they become due until paid, at the prime rate of interest published in the Wall Street Journal, but in no event at a rate which would be deemed to be usurious under Washington law. In the event that the Wall Street Journal ceases or fails to publish or announce a prime rate, the amounts due hereunder shall bear interest at the prime rate announced by the bank designated by Landlord, provided such a bank is among the top twenty five (25) banks in the United States in terms of deposits.
15. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees that, so long as Tenant observes and performs all of the covenants, conditions, and stipulations of this Lease, Tenant may lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term.
16. Assignment and Subletting
16.1 Affiliates. Tenant may sublease the Premises, or any portion thereof, or assign its rights and obligations under this Lease to entity which is owned or controlled by or under common control with Tenant (an “Affiliate”), without the prior written consent of Landlord unless Landlord is required to secure the consent of Lender under the terms of the Loan Documents, in which case Tenant shall be required to secure the consent of Landlord to such subletting or assignment. Before any such assignment shall be valid, whether or not the consent of Landlord is required, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease as if named the Tenant herein and Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of such assignment.
16.2 Non Affiliates. Subject to any limitations which may be set forth in the Loan Documents, Tenant may sublease the Premises, or any part thereof, or assign its rights and obligations under this Lease to a person or entity that is not an Affiliate with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if Landlord is satisfied as to the ability of the proposed transferee to make the rent payments due and owing hereunder and to comply with Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease and if Landlord has secured such consent as it may be required to obtain in connection therewith under the terms of the Loan Documents or any Mortgage. No such assignment will, however, release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, and before any such assignment shall be valid, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease as if named the Tenant herein. A sale or other conveyance by Tenant of the stock or beneficial
Exhibit F - Form of Lease
ownership (direct or indirect) of said Affiliate, other than to itself or another Affiliate, shall be deemed to be an assignment for which Landlord’s consent is required in accordance with the terms hereof except to the extent such sale or other conveyance is specifically permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents to occur without the need to secure Lender approval, in which case Landlord approval shall also not be required.
16.3 By Landlord. Subject to such limitations as may be set forth in the Loan Documents or any Mortgage, Landlord may at any time assign its rights and obligations under this Lease, provided, however, that Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement from Landlord’s assignee that such assignee recognizes all of Tenant’s rights under this Lease; provided, further, that the requirements of this Section 16.3 shall not apply to the Lender, any Mortgagee or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale which acquires Landlord’s rights hereunder upon the foreclosure of any interest granted as security for the obligations of Landlord under the Loan Documents or any Mortgage or the acceptance by such lender or purchaser of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Notwithstanding the failure of Landlord to obtain said recognition from Landlord’s assignee, any assignment of Landlord’s rights and obligations shall be subject to Tenant’s rights under this Lease.
16.4 Waiver. No assignment or subletting that is approved pursuant to this Section 16 shall be deemed to remove any subsequent assignment or subletting from the provisions of this Section 16, it being the intent hereof that every assignment and subletting, whenever occurring, shall require the same approval as is set forth herein for an original assignment or subletting.
17. Notices. All notices provided for in this Lease or related to this Lease shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties at the addresses set forth below.
