All obligations imposed on the "Lessee" in this Lease shall be the full recourse liability of Lessee and no obligation or liability of Lessee hereunder or under any other Operative Document shall be limited by reason of any provision of any Ground Lease restricting the liability of "Landlord" thereunder. This Lease refunds, refinances and replaces that certain Acquisition Credit Agreement, dated as of September 29, 1995, as amended, among Genesis Health Ventures, Inc. ("Genesis"), certain of its subsidiaries, Mellon Bank, N.A., ("Mellon") as Agent, Citibank, N.A.

From and after the execution and delivery of the 1996 Indenture and the issuance of the notes thereunder, this Lease (including all amendments and supplements hereto including, without limitation, any amendments which may increase the amount of this facility) will be a "Credit Facility" within the meaning of the 1996 Indenture. ARTICLE II LEASE OF SITES; LEASE TERM SECTION 2.1. Acceptance and Lease of Sites. On each Site Acquisition Date, Lessor, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article III of the Participation Agreement, hereby agrees to accept delivery on such Site Acquisition Date of the portion of the Land Interests together with any Facilities thereon (or, with respect to the Non-Acquired Land Interests, the ground lease of such Non-Acquired Land Interest and the Facilities located on such Non-Acquired Land Interests) to be delivered on such Site Acquisition Date pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement and simultaneously to lease (or in the case of such Non-Acquired Land Interests, sublease) such portion of the Land Interests together with any Facilities thereon to Lessee hereunder, and Lessee, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article III of the Participation Agreement, hereby agrees, expressly for the direct benefit of Lessor, to lease commencing on such Site Acquisition Date from Lessor for the Lease Term, such portion of the Land Interests together with any Facilities thereon to be delivered on such Site Acquisition Date, and with respect to any Facilities constructed thereon pursuant to the Construction Agency Agreement, such Facilities automatically (without further act) commencing on expiration or termination of the Construction Period applicable to such Facilities. Lessee has heretofore accepted delivery and entered into a lease, pursuant to the Original Lease, with Lessor of the Sites known as the NHCA Sites. 2 Lease Agreement SECTION 2.2. Acceptance Procedure. Lessor hereby authorizes a Responsible Officer of Lessee, to be designated by Lessee, as the authorized representative or representatives of Lessor to accept delivery of the portion of the Site(s) identified on the applicable Advance Request. Lessee hereby agrees that such acceptance of delivery by such authorized representative or representatives and the execution and delivery by Lessee as of each Site Acquisition Date, of a Lease Supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto or in such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Agent and Lessor (in each case, appropriately completed) shall, without further act, constitute the irrevocable acceptance by Lessee of the Site(s) which are the subject thereof for all purposes of this Lease and the other Operative Documents on the terms set forth therein and herein. Any Facility constructed on an Undeveloped Site pursuant to the Construction Agency Agreement shall be deemed to be included in the Leasehold Estate as of the date of expiration or termination of the Construction Period applicable to such Facility. SECTION 2.3. Lease Term. Unless earlier terminated, the term of this Lease shall consist of the Basic Term, commencing on and including July 24, 1996 and ending on the date (the "Basic Term Expiration Date") which is five years thereafter (i.e., July 24, 2001) and the Renewal Term, if exercised and effective (collectively, the "Lease Term"); provided, that with respect to the Developed Sites and the Undeveloped Sites (but only in respect of the Land Interest portion of such Undeveloped Sites, including any Non-Acquired Land Interest), the commencement of the Basic Term shall be the relevant Site Acquisition Date for each such Site (which, in the case of the NHCA Sites shall be July 24, 1996, as provided in Section 3.2(s) of the Participation Agreement); provided, further, that with respect to the Facility to be constructed on any Undeveloped Site, the commencement of the Basic Term shall be upon the expiration or termination of the Construction Period for such Undeveloped Site and the end of the Basic Term with respect to such Facility shall be upon the Basic Term Expiration Date. Any provision of this Lease or any other Operative Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee acknowledges that Lessor's sole interest in the Non-Acquired Land Interests, if any, is as ground lessee, and Lessor is hereby subleasing such Non-Acquired Land Interests to Lessee; and Lessor and Lessee specifically agree that this Lease and the remedies available to Lessor for Lessee's default hereunder shall apply to the Non-Acquired Land Interests, notwithstanding that such Land Interests are not owned by Lessor, and Lessee shall pay as and when due all ground rent applicable to any Non-Acquired Land Interest and shall perform all obligations of the ground lessee under any Ground Lease accruing prior to the Lease Termination Date with respect to such Land Interest. 3 Lease Agreement SECTION 2.4. Lease Renewal. Subject to the consent of Lessor and the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Participation Agreement, Lessee may elect to renew this Lease for one five-year renewal term (the "Renewal Term") commencing upon the expiration of the Basic Term (the "Renewal Term Commencement Date") and ending on the date which is five years after the Renewal Term Commencement Date, as provided in Article VI and in the applicable Lease Supplement. ARTICLE III OTHER PROPERTY Lessee may from time to time own or hold under lease from Persons other than Lessor, furniture, trade fixtures and equipment located on or about the Sites that is not subject to this Lease.

ARTICLE IV RENT SECTION 4.1. Basic Rent. Lessee shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lessor and the Lenders, the amounts of Basic Rent during the Basic Term and, if applicable, the Renewal Term, determined in accordance with the definition of "Basic Rent" on each Payment Date. SECTION 4.2. Supplemental Rent. Lessee shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lessor, or to whomever shall be entitled thereto as expressly provided herein or in any other Operative Document (and Lessor hereby directs Lessee, on behalf of Lessor, to so pay such Agent or other Person), any and all Supplemental Rent promptly as the same shall become due and payable and, in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or in equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. Lessee hereby reaffirms its obligation to pay as Supplemental Rent (i) any and all 4 Lease Agreement Additional Costs, and (ii) any Transaction Costs not paid by Lessor, as further described in Section 9.9 of the Participation Agreement. SECTION 4.3. Method and Amount of Payment. As long as any obligations remain outstanding under the Loan Agreement, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent shall be paid to Agent (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to such Person as may be entitled thereto) on the due date therefor at such place as Agent shall specify in writing to Lessee at least two (2) Business Days prior to the due date therefor. Agent, on behalf of Lessor, shall notify Lessee of the applicable LIBO Rate or Prime Rate, as applicable, promptly upon the determination thereof. Each payment of Rent shall be made by Lessee prior to 12:00 noon Philadelphia time (and payments made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next day) at the place of payment in funds consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America which (in the case of any amount payable to Lessor, Agent or any Lender) shall be immediately available on the scheduled date when such payment shall be due, unless the scheduled date shall not be a Business Day, in which case such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (unless the result of such extension would be to carry such payment into the next calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day). The provisions of the foregoing sentence of this Section 4.3 shall be applicable only to Basic Rent and to Supplemental Rent payable to, or on behalf of or for the account of, Lessor, any Lender, Agent and any other Indemnitee. Any amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be payable in accordance with Section 9.16 of the Participation Agreement. SECTION 4.4. Late Payment. If any Basic Rent shall not be paid when due (not taking into account any applicable grace period), Lessee shall pay to Agent on behalf of Lessor and the Lenders, or if any Supplemental Rent payable to or on behalf or for the account of Lessor, any Lender, Agent or other Indemnitee is not paid when due (not taking into account any applicable grace period), Lessee shall pay to whomever shall be entitled thereto, in each case as Supplemental Rent, interest at the Overdue Rate (to the maximum extent permitted by law) on such overdue amount from and including the initial due date thereof (not taking into account any applicable grace period) to but excluding the Business Day of payment thereof at the Overdue Rate. SECTION 4.5. Net Lease; No Setoff; Etc. This Lease shall constitute a net lease and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, it is intended that Basic Rent and Supplemental 5 Lease Agreement Rent shall be paid without counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense of any kind and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction of any kind, and Lessee's obligation to pay all such amounts, throughout the Basic Term and the Renewal Term, if applicable, is absolute and unconditional. The obligations and liabilities of Lessee hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected for any reason, including, without limitation, to the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) any defect in the condition, merchantability, design, construction, quality or fitness for use of any portion of the Sites, or any failure of the Sites to comply with all Applicable Laws and Regulations, including any inability to occupy or use the Sites by reason of such non-compliance; (b) any damage to, abandonment, loss, contamination of or Release from or destruction of or any requisition or taking of the Sites or any part thereof, including eviction; (c) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Sites or any part thereof, including eviction; (d) any defect in title to or rights to the Sites or any Lien on such title or rights or on the Sites; (e) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or liability of or by Lessor, Agent or any Lender; (f) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceedings relating to Lessee, Lessor, Agent, any Lender or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee or receiver of Lessee, Lessor, Agent, any Lender or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (g) any claim that Lessee has or might have against any Person, including, without limitation, Lessor, or any Lender; (h) any failure on the part of Lessor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease, any other Operative Document or of any other agreement whether or not related to the Overall Transaction; (i) any invalidity or unenforceability or disaffirmance against or by Lessee of this Lease or any provision hereof or any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof; (j) the impossibility of performance by Lessee, Lessor or both; (k) any action by any court, administrative agency or other Authority; any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or any interference with the construction on or any use of any Site or any part thereof; or (l) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Except as specifically set forth in Section 6.5 or Article XIII of this Lease, this Lease shall be noncancellable by Lessee for any reason whatsoever, and Lessee, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease, or to any diminution, abatement or 6 Lease Agreement reduction of Rent payable by Lessee hereunder. If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as expressly provided in Section 6.5 or Article XIII of this Lease, Lessee shall, unless prohibited by Applicable Laws and Regulations, nonetheless pay to Lessor (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to whomever shall be entitled thereto) an amount equal to each Rent payment at the time and in the manner that such payment would have become due and payable under the terms of this Lease if it had not been terminated in whole or in part, and in such case, so long as such payments are made and no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor will deem this Lease to have remained in effect. Each payment of Rent made by Lessee hereunder shall be final and, absent manifest error in the computation of the amount thereof, Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from Lessor, Agent or any party to any agreements related thereto for any reason whatsoever. Lessee assumes the sole responsibility for the condition, use, operation, maintenance, and management of the Sites and Lessor shall have no responsibility in respect thereof and shall have no liability for damage to the property of Lessee or any subtenant of Lessee on any account or for any reason whatsoever other than by reason of Lessor's willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach of any of its obligations under any Operative Document. ARTICLE V UTILITY CHARGES Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer service and all other rents and utilities used in or on a Site during the Lease Term. Lessee shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect to any utility charge paid by Lessee and the amount of any credit or refund received by Lessor on account of any utility charges paid by Lessee, net of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lessor in obtaining such credit or refund, shall be promptly paid over to Lessee. All charges for utilities imposed with respect to a Site for a billing period during which this Lease expires or terminates (except pursuant to Section 6.2, in which case Lessee shall be solely responsible for all such charges) shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between Lessor and Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other for each party's pro rata share thereof. 7 Lease Agreement ARTICLE VI RENEWAL OPTION; SALE, RETURN AND PURCHASE OPTIONS SECTION 6.1. Renewal Option. Subject to the consent of Lessor and the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Participation Agreement, Lessee shall have the right, at its option, to request the Participants to renew all (but not less than all) of the Lease Supplements for the Renewal Term, commencing immediately following the expiration of the Basic Term. In order to exercise such option, Lessee shall give irrevocable written notice thereof to Lessor no earlier than fifteen (15) months and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Basic Term and no Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of exercise and at the commencement of the Renewal Term. If the Renewal Term is applicable, Lessee shall continue to pay Rent, including Basic Rent (upon the terms agreed to by Lessee and the Participants for the Renewal Term), during the Renewal Term on each Payment Date occurring during the Renewal Term. All of the provisions of this Lease shall remain in effect during the Renewal Term. SECTION 6.2. Purchase Option. Lessee will have the right, at its option and upon ten (10) months prior written notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to Lessor prior to expiration of the Lease Term, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Sites then subject to the Lease Supplements at a price equal to the Purchase Option Exercise Amount (the "Purchase Option"). If Lessee shall have elected to purchase the Sites, Lessor shall, upon discharge of the Lien of the Mortgages pursuant to the provisions thereof, and the payment in full of an amount sufficient to retire the Notes and pay in full the Equity Amount, and the payment of all accrued but unpaid Rent and breakage fees, if any, plus all other amounts (including, without limitation, all Supplemental Rent), fees and expenses then due and payable, transfer by quitclaim deed (or quitclaim ground lease assignment) all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Sites to Lessee or its designee, without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens), and re-assign to Lessee, as Construction Agent, any Construction Documents previously assigned by Lessee, as Construction Agent, to Lessor, against payment by Lessee of the Purchase Option Exercise Amount in immediately available funds. Lessee, at its option, may assign its right to exercise the Purchase Option by written notice thereof to Agent and Lessor; provided that (i) Lessee shall be bound by any exercise of the Purchase Option by the assignee, (ii) such assignee shall be bound by the provisions of this Article VI applicable to the Purchase Option, and (iii) no such assignment shall release Lessee from its obligations under this 8 Lease Agreement Article VI and, without limitation, Lessee shall remain primarily liable to Lessor for the payment of all amounts due under this Article VI in respect of the Purchase Option. SECTION 6.3. Sale Option. If no Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lessee may cause all (but not less than all) of the Sites subject to the Lease Supplements to be sold on the last day of the Lease Term for cash to a purchaser or purchasers not affiliated in any way with Lessee (the "Sale Option"); provided that each Land Interest and the Facility thereon shall be sold to the same Person and all Land Interests and all Facilities thereon shall be sold to one or more Persons in the same transaction; and provided further that in connection with the sale of each Facility located on a Non-Acquired Land Interest, Lessee shall be obligated to sell the related Land Interest as well. In the event Lessee timely elects the Sale Option, on the last day of the Lease Term, Lessee will pay as Supplemental Rent to Lessor the amounts determined in accordance with Section 6.4(b) until the Lease Balance and all other amounts payable under the Operative Documents have been paid in full. SECTION 6.4. Conditions for Sale of the Sites. (a) In the event that the Sale Option is applicable, Lessee shall cause all (but not less than all) of the Sites to be sold in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.4. In order to exercise the Sale Option, Lessee shall give notice of its election of the Sale Option effective at the expiration of the Basic Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, not later than ten (10) months prior to such expiration, which exercise shall be irrevocable, and any failure of Lessee to so elect the Sale Option shall be deemed an election of the Purchase Option pursuant to Section 6.2. Subject to the preceding sentence, during the period commencing on the date ten (10) months prior to the scheduled end of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be, Lessee, on behalf of Lessor, shall use best commercial efforts, as nonexclusive agent for Lessor, to obtain the highest cash bids for the purchase of the Sites and, in the event it receives any bid, Lessee shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof and at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Lease Termination Date, certify to Lessor and Agent in writing the amount and terms of such bid, and the name and address of the party or parties (who shall not be Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee or any Person with whom Lessee has an understanding or arrangement regarding the future use of the Sites by Lessee or such Affiliate, but who may be Lessor or a Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any Person contacted by a Lender) submitting such bid. Lessee will keep Agent 9 Lease Agreement promptly informed of the material terms of any proposed bid. Lessee shall bear its own expenses and pay, as Supplemental Rent, the reasonable expenses of Lessor, Agent and each Lender in connection with any such bidding and sale process pursuant to this Section 6.4 including any recapture costs incurred under government-funded healthcare programs, as well as all costs and expenses incurred by any party (including a buyer or potential buyer) to place the Sites in the condition required by Section 9.1 and costs of repairs, Alterations or improvements desired by such buyer. (b) In the event that Lessee contemplates accepting any bid which, upon payment of all amounts under Section 6.4(b), shall result in any portion of the Lease Balance or any other amount due under the Operative Documents remaining outstanding (a "Loss Bid"), Lessee shall notify Agent and Lessor in writing (a "Loss Bid Notice") of such fact and the calculation thereof prior to accepting any such bid; and in the event of such bid, any Participant may submit a bid to Lessee not later than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice from Lessee. On or before the Lease Termination Date, so long as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the release of the security interest with respect to the Sites under the Mortgages: (i) Lessee shall transfer all of Lessee's right, title and interest in the Sites, or cause the Sites to be transferred, to the bidder(s), if any, which shall have submitted the highest bid therefor at least twenty (20) (or, in the case of a Participant, any Affiliate thereof or Person contacted by a Participant, five (5)) Business Days prior to such Lease Termination Date, in the same manner and in the same condition and otherwise in accordance with all the terms of this Lease; (ii) subject to prior or concurrent payment by Lessee of all amounts due under clause (iii) of this sentence, Lessor shall exercise such rights as it has to cause the Sites to be released from the Lien of the Mortgages and shall, without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens), transfer by quitclaim deed Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Sites for cash to such bidder(s); and (iii) Lessee shall simultaneously pay or cause to be paid to Lessor in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of (p) all unpaid Basic Rent due on or prior to the Lease Termination Date, and all Supplemental Rent due on or prior to such date and any other amounts due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, Agent and each Lender plus (q) the gross sale proceeds of the Sites sold by Lessor (the "Proceeds"); plus (r) the Applicable Percentage Amount. To the extent the sum of the Proceeds plus the Applicable Percentage Amount shall exceed the Lease Balance, upon receipt of the amounts described in clause (p) of the preceding sentence, Lessor shall apply the amount of Proceeds equal to such 10 Lease Agreement excess to the amount payable by Lessee under clause (r); provided, that to the extent that the Proceeds alone shall exceed the Lease Balance, upon receipt of the Proceeds and the amounts described in clause (p) of the preceding sentence, Lessor shall pay the amount of such excess to Lessee. For purposes of clause (q), with respect to the gross sales proceeds relating to the sale of the Non-Acquired Land Interests and the related Facilities, such gross proceeds shall be allocated between Lessee's interest in such Non-Acquired Land Interest (as the owner thereof) and Lessor's interest in such Non-Acquired Land Interest (as the ground lessee thereof) and in the Facility thereon based upon the respective Fair Market Sales Values of Lessee's interest in such Non-Acquired Land Interest and Lessor's interest in such Non-Acquired Land Interest and the Facility thereon as determined by an appraisal conducted, at Lessee's expense, by an appraiser of nationally recognized standing, selected and engaged by the Required Participants; provided, that the maximum portion of the gross sales proceeds allocated to any Non-Acquired Land Interest shall be Lessee's cost for such Non- Acquired Land Interest as set forth in the applicable Lease Supplement. The "Applicable Percentage Amount" shall be based upon the Applicable Percentage for the Lease Supplement applicable to such Site, and shall be determined in accordance with the definition thereof in Appendix 1 to the Participation Agreement. The "Applicable Percentage" for each Lease Supplement shall be determined on or about the date of acquisition by Lessor of the related Undeveloped Site or as soon thereafter as Lessor obtains sufficient information to make a determination for financial accounting purposes and shall be set forth in the Lease Supplement; provided that the maximum "Applicable Percentage Amount" will be determined as the greatest amount which would not cause the present value at the beginning of the Lease Term of the minimum lease payments (including, without limitation, such Applicable Percentage Amount), as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to equal or exceed ninety percent (90%) of the Fair Market Sales Value, at the beginning of this Lease, of the applicable Site. The Applicable Percentage for any Lease Supplement shall in no event be less than eighty percent (80%). (c) If Lessee exercises the Sale Option and a Loss Bid Notice is to be provided pursuant to Section 6.4(b), then as a condition to Lessee's right to consummate the Sale Option pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4, Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Lease Termination Date, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a report in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and Lessor from an Appraiser selected by Lessee and 11 Lease Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Agent and Lessor (the "End of Term Report") to establish the reason for any impairment to the value of any of the Sites which are being sold for less than the Allocated Amount applicable to such Site. Without limiting the indemnities provided in the Operative Documents, on the Lease Termination Date, Lessee shall pay to Agent, on behalf of Lessor and the Lenders, an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount that the End of Term Report demonstrates was the result of any impairment to the value in any of the Sites due to: (i) the existence of any Hazardous Materials, Environmental Concern Materials or violations of Environmental Laws with respect to a Site occurring or discovered after the date such Site becomes subject to the Lease (regardless of the Person so discovering any of the foregoing), or (ii) any restoration or rebuilding carried out by Lessee or any failure of Lessee to complete any Alterations, restoration or rebuilding, or (iii) any easements or other actions described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 8.3, or (iv) the failure of Lessor to have good and marketable title to any Site free and clear of all Liens (including Permitted Liens (other than Lessor Liens)) and exceptions to title caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee or any Affiliate or Subtenant. As used herein, the term "Shortfall Amount" means the excess, if any, of (i) the Lease Balance over (ii) the sum of the Proceeds plus the Applicable Percentage Amount. SECTION 6.5. Early Termination. (a) Commencing July 24, 1998 and provided that no Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or any such defaults are cured contemporaneously with the consummation of the purchase option under this Section 6.5(a)), Lessee shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Sites on the next scheduled Payment Date for an amount equal to, without penalty, the Lease Balance plus all other amounts then due under the Lease and the other Operative Documents, including, without limitation, accrued but unpaid Rent and breakage fees, if any, plus all other amounts, fees and expenses then due and payable. 12 Lease Agreement (b) On any scheduled Payment Date on or prior to July 24, 1997, Lessee may, at its option, by giving at least ninety (90) days' advance written notice to Lessor, purchase all (but not less than all) of the Sites for an amount equal to the Lease Balance, accrued but unpaid Rent and breakage fees, if any, all other amounts, fees and expenses then due and payable plus a prepayment fee equal to 50 basis points of the Lease Balance. On any scheduled Payment Date after July 24, 1997, but prior to July 24, 1998, Lessee may, at its option, by giving at least ninety (90) days' advance written notice to Lessor, purchase all (but not less than all) of the Sites for an amount equal to the Lease Balance, accrued but unpaid Rent and breakage fees, if any, all other amounts, fees and expenses then due and payable, plus a prepayment fee equal to 25 basis points of the Lease Balance. SECTION 6.6. Exercise of Options; Failure to Elect. In order to exercise any of its purchase or sale options under this Lease (other than under Section 6.5), Lessee shall give irrevocable written notice to Lessor not less than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Basic Term, that Lessee intends to exercise one of the options provided in this Article VI and specifying such option. If Lessee shall fail to deliver such written notice in the time required, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to exercise the Purchase Option pursuant to Section 6.2. Lessee's election (or deemed election) of the Purchase Option will be irrevocable at the time it is made (or deemed made). If Lessee has elected the option to sell the Sites under Section 6.3, such option shall be automatically revoked and such election shall be deemed of no effect if, on or after the date Lessee elects such option, there exists or occurs a Lease Event of Default or Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default or Lessee shall fail in any manner fully to comply with this Article VI, in which case Lessee shall be automatically deemed to have elected the Purchase Option pursuant to Section 6.2. SECTION 6.7. Return of Sites. Unless the Sites shall have been transferred to Lessee pursuant to Section 6.2 or 6.5, Lessee shall, on the Lease Termination Date, and at its own expense, transfer the Sites (together with the reports described in Section 9.4 relating thereto) to the independent purchaser thereof pursuant to Section 6.3, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Exceptions and Lessor Liens, in as good condition as they were on the Document Closing Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in compliance with all Applicable Laws and Regulations and the other requirements of Article IX (and in any event without (x) any asbestos installed or maintained in any part of the Site, (y) any polychlorinated byphenyls (PCBs) in, on or used, stored or located at the Site, 13 Lease Agreement and (z) any other Hazardous Materials). Lessee shall cooperate with the independent purchaser of the Site in order to facilitate the ownership and operation by such purchaser of the Site after the Lease Termination Date, including providing all books, reports and records regarding the maintenance, repair and ownership of the Site and all data and technical information relating to the physical operation and maintenance of the Site, granting or assigning (to the extent permitted by law) all licenses necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Site and cooperating in seeking and obtaining all necessary Governmental Action. Lessee shall have also paid the total cost for the completion of all Alterations commenced prior to the Lease Termination Date. The obligation of Lessee under this Article VI regarding the Purchase Option shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, except if Lessee duly and timely exercises the Sale Option and performs its obligations under Sections 6.3 and 6.4, or Lessee duly and timely exercises its rights under Section 6.5 and performs its obligations thereunder. Unless Lessee shall have exercised or been deemed to have exercised its option to purchase the Sites, then after the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the Lease Termination Date, Lessor shall at Lessee's expense be entitled to perform such investigation, including obtaining reports of engineers and other experts as to the condition and state of repair and maintenance required by this Section 6.7 and as to the compliance with Environmental Laws of the Site, as it deems appropriate. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause the repair or other remediation of any discrepancies between the actual condition of the Site and the condition required under the Lease, such repair or remediation to be completed not later than the expiration of this Lease. SECTION 6.8. Completion of Facilities. In the event that any Facility becomes subject to this Lease pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 prior to Completion thereof due to the termination of the Construction Period applicable thereto under Section 5.1 of the Construction Agency Agreement, Lessee (at its cost) shall diligently pursue construction of such Facility in accordance with the construction-related provisions of the Operative Documents (including those set forth in the provisions of Article III of the Participation Agreement, notwithstanding that the Participants shall not be obligated to make any Advances in respect of such construction) and shall cause the Completion of such Facility not later than the earlier to occur of (x) the date which is twelve (12) months after the Site Acquisition Date for the Site on which such Facility is being constructed and (y) the original expiration date of the Construction Period for such Facility, not taking into account the early termination of such 14 Lease Agreement Construction Period; provided that the dates described in clauses (x) and (y) for such Facility shall be subject to extension for Force Majeure delays not to exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate. SECTION 6.9. Failure of Lessee to Sell Sites. If Lessee shall exercise the Sale Option and shall fail to arrange for the sale of all of the Sites on or before the Lease Termination Date in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 6.4 and 6.6, then Lessee and Lessor hereby agree as follows: (a) On the Lease Termination Date, Lessee shall (i) pay to Agent (on behalf of the Participants) the Applicable Percentage Amount and (ii) Lessee will do both of the following: (1) at the option of Agent (on behalf of the Participants), either (x) cancel the sale of the Sites for which Lessee has arranged a sale (in which case, all Sites will constitute "unsold Sites" under this Section 6.9) or (y) sell the Sites for which Lessee has arranged a sale pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.4 and 6.6; and (2) at the option of Agent (on behalf of the Participants), either (x) tender to Lessor possession of the unsold Sites or (y) continue to lease the unsold Sites during a holdover period (the "Holdover Period") and in the case of such holdover, Lessee shall continue to market, on a non-exclusive basis, the Sites for sale on behalf of Lessor in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. For each such Site, such Holdover Period shall expire on the earlier of (x) the sale of such Site and (y) the reduction of the Lease Balance to zero and the payment by Lessee of all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other amounts then due and payable under the Operative Documents, and (z) written notice by Agent, as Agent for the Lenders, of a date specified for the termination of such Holdover Period with respect to such Site. The Basic Rent payable by Lessee for the Sites during any Holdover Period shall be applied first to payment of the portion of Basic Rent set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition thereof, with any excess being applied to reduce such Lease Balance. Any Proceeds from the sale of any Sites during the Holdover Period will be applied to reduce the Lease Balance, with such application being allocated first to the Lenders in respect of the 15 Lease Agreement remaining amount of the Notes (i.e., that portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes in excess of the Applicable Percentage Amount), and second to the Equity Amount. If and when the Lease Balance shall be reduced to zero, (i) any further Proceeds from the sale of any remaining Sites shall be remitted to Lessee for its own account, (ii) at the request of either Lessor (or Agent on Lessor's behalf) or Lessee, Lessor will transfer to Lessee or its designee, and Lessee will accept or cause its designee to accept the transfer of, all remaining Sites by quitclaim deed, and Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of counsel to the Participants) in connection with such transfer. Agent shall not make the elections under clause (1)(y) and clause (2)(x) above without receiving (x) the consent of the Lenders if after giving effect to such partial sale and payment by Lessee of the Applicable Percentage Amount, any portion of the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes will remain outstanding, and (y) the consent of the Lessor if after giving effect to such partial sale and payment by Lessee of the Applicable Percentage Amount, any portion of the Equity Amount or accrued Yield will remain outstanding. (b) On or after the Lease Termination Date, Agent, on behalf of Lessor and the Lenders, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell the Sites for such purchase price and upon such terms as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. In the event that Agent shall so elect to sell the Sites, Agent shall notify each of Lessor, Lessee and the Lenders thereof, and each shall have the right to submit a bid and/or to cause any other Person to submit a bid to Agent not later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date Agent desires to sell the Sites (as set forth in the aforementioned notice thereof); provided, however, that Agent, on behalf of Lessor and the Lenders, shall have the right, in its sole discretion, from time to time, to defer such proposed sale date, in which event, the rights of Lessee, Lessor and each Lender to submit a bid and/or to cause any other Person to submit a bid to Agent shall be extended to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days prior to the revised proposed sale date. At no time shall Agent be obligated to accept any bid for the sale of the Sites (whether such bid was obtained by Lessee, Lessor, any Lender or otherwise) or to consummate any proposed sale. 16 Lease Agreement (c) At any time and from time to time on or after the Lease Termination Date, Agent, on behalf of Lessor and the Lenders, shall have the right to withdraw from the Sale Deposit (other than the portion thereof constituting the Applicable Percentage Amount) amounts to pay, or reimburse itself for the payment of, expenses of Lessor, Agent and each Participant in connection with any bidding and sale (or proposed sale, whether or not consummated) described in clause (b). In the event that there are insufficient funds remaining from the Sale Deposit to pay such expenses, Lessee shall pay such expenses from time to time upon demand. (d) Contemporaneously with the consummation of any sale of the Sites by Lessee or Agent pursuant to this Section 6.9, (i) Lessee will transfer all of Lessee's right, title and interest in the Sites to be transferred to the purchaser, (ii) subject to prior or concurrent payment by Lessee of all amounts due under clause (iii) of this sentence and receipt by Lessor of Proceeds from such sale, Lessor shall exercise such rights as it has to cause the Sites to be released from the Lien of the Mortgages and shall, without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens), transfer by quitclaim deed Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Sites for cash to such purchaser; and (iii) Lessee shall simultaneously pay or cause to be paid to Agent, on behalf of Lessor and the Lenders, in immediately available funds an amount equal to all unpaid Basic Rent and all Supplement Rent due on or prior thereto and any other amounts due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, Agent and each Lender. Any Proceeds in excess of the sum of (x) the Lease Balance, plus (y) all unpaid Basic Rent and all Supplemental Rent due on or prior thereto and any other amounts due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, Agent and each Lender, shall be remitted to Lessee promptly after receipt. (e) Until a sale of the Sites by Lessee or Agent pursuant to this Section 6.9, Lessee shall be bound by all of the obligations and duties of Lessee under this Lease, notwithstanding the occurrence of the Lease Termination Date. (f) Lessor reserves all rights under this Lease and the other Operative Documents arising out of Lessee's breach of any provisions of this Lease (including Article VI), whether occurring prior to, on or after the Lease Termination Date, including Lessee's breach of any of its 17 Lease Agreement obligations under Sections 6.3 and 6.4, including the right to sue Lessee for damages. (g) To the greatest extent permitted by law, Lessee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, and releases Lessor and Agent from, any right to require Lessor or Agent to sell the Sites at all or for any minimum purchase price or on any particular terms and conditions, Lessee hereby agreeing that if Lessee shall elect the Sale Option, its ability to sell the Sites on or prior to the Lease Termination Date and its right thereafter to submit a bid or to cause any other Person to submit a bid to Agent pursuant to Section 6.9(b) in the event Agent shall elect to sell the Sites, shall constitute full and complete protection of Lessee's interest hereunder. ARTICLE VII CONDITION AND USE OF SITES SECTION 7.1. Waivers. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, ALTHOUGH LESSOR WILL OWN AND HOLD TITLE TO THE SITES, LESSEE IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CONSTRUCTION AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, BUDGETING, CHANGE ORDERS AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITIES AND ANY ALTERATIONS. The Sites are let by Lessor "AS IS" in their present or then condition, as the case may be, subject to (a) any rights of any parties in possession thereof, (b) the state of the title thereto existing at the time Lessor acquired its interest in the Site, (c) any state of facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection might show (including any survey delivered on or prior to the Document Closing Date or the Completion Date), (d) all Applicable Laws and Regulations, and (e) any violations of Applicable Laws and Regulations which may exist at the commencement of the Lease Term. Lessee has examined the Site and (insofar as Lessor is concerned) has found the same to be satisfactory. NEITHER LESSOR, AGENT NOR ANY LENDER HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE TITLE TO THE SITES OR TO THE VALUE, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, CONDITION, OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE SITES, OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SITES, OR ANY PART THEREOF, AND NEITHER LESSOR, AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT THEREIN OR THE FAILURE OF THE SITES, OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS, except that Lessor hereby represents and warrants that the Site is and shall be free of Lessor Liens. Lessee has been afforded full 18 Lease Agreement opportunity to inspect the Sites, is satisfied with the results of its inspections and is entering into this Lease solely on the basis of the results of its own inspections, and all risks incident to the matters discussed in the preceding sentence (other than Lessor Liens), as between Lessor, Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and Lessee, on the other, are to be borne by Lessee. The provisions of this Article VII have been negotiated, and, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, the foregoing provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any representations or warranties by any of Lessor, Agent or the Lenders, express or implied, with respect to the Sites (or any interest therein), that may arise pursuant to any law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise. ARTICLE VIII LIENS; EASEMENTS SECTION 8.1. Liens. Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien, defect, attachment, levy, title retention agreement or claim upon any Site or Alteration, or with respect to the Sites, any Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, the title thereto, or any interest therein, including all Liens which arise out of the possession, use, occupancy or construction of the Sites or by reason of labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee, or any of its contractors or agents or by reason of the financing of any Alterations constructed by or for the benefit of Lessee and not financed by Lessor, except in all cases Permitted Liens. With respect to all Liens other than Permitted Liens, Lessee shall promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days (or, in the case of non-consensual Liens, sixty (60) days) after the filing thereof, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge or eliminate or bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor any such Lien if the same shall arise at any time. SECTION 8.2. No Lessor Consent or Liability. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of the Lessor, expressed or implied, to or for the performance by any contractor, mechanic, laborer, materialman, supplier or vendor of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to any Site or any part thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT NEITHER LESSOR NOR ANY LENDER OR AGENT IS OR SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING A SITE OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER LESSEE, AND 19 Lease Agreement THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LESSOR, AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN AND TO ANY SITE. SECTION 8.3. Easements. Subject to Section 3.4 of the Construction Agency Agreement (which shall take precedence over these provisions during the Construction Period with respect to any Undeveloped Site) and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, at the request of Lessee, Lessor shall, from time to time during the Lease Term and upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice from Lessee, and receipt of the materials specified in the next succeeding sentence, consent to and join in any (i) grant of easements, licenses, rights of way, party wall rights and other rights in the nature of easements, with or without consideration, (ii) release or termination of easements, licenses, rights of way, party wall rights or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of a Site or any portion thereof, with or without consideration, (iii) dedication or transfer of portions of a Site, not improved with a building, for road, highway or other public purposes, with or without consideration, (iv) execution of petitions to have a Site or any portion thereof annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district, (v) execution of agreements for the use and maintenance of common areas, for reciprocal rights of parking, ingress and egress and amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting a Site or any portion thereof, with or without consideration, (vi) request to any Authority for platting or subdivision or replatting or resubdivision approval with respect to a Site or any portion thereof or any parcel of land of which a Site or any portion thereof forms a part or a request for any variance from zoning, (vii) creation of a governmental special benefit district for public improvements and collection of special assessments in connection therewith, in lump sum or installments, and (viii) execution and delivery of any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grant, release, dedication, transfer request or such other matter, document or proceeding. Lessor's obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to the requirements that: (a) any such action shall be at the sole cost and expense of Lessee, and Lessee shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of Lessor, Agent and the Lenders in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of attorneys (including allocated costs of internal counsel of Agent); (b) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee stating that: 20 Lease Agreement (1) such action will not cause the Site or any portion thereof to fail to comply in any respect with the provisions of the Lease or any other Operative Documents and in any material respect with all Applicable Laws and Regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable zoning, planning, building and subdivision ordinances, all applicable restrictive covenants and all applicable architectural approval requirements); (2) all governmental consents or approvals required prior to such action have been obtained, and all filings required prior to such action have been made; (3) such action will not result in any material down-zoning of the Site or any portion thereof or a material reduction in the maximum density or development rights available to the Site under all Applicable Laws and Regulations; (4) this Lease and Lessee's obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution, reduction, counterclaim, setoff, defense or deduction; (5) such action will not materially reduce the Fair Market Sales Value, utility, remaining economic useful life or residual value of the Site or Lessor's interest therein; and (6) such action will not impose or create any liability or obligation on Lessor; (c) all consideration received in connection with such action shall be paid to Lessee; and (d) no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. ARTICLE IX MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS SECTION 9.1. Maintenance and Repair; Compliance With Law. Lessee, at its own expense, shall at all times (a) maintain the Sites in good repair and condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and in safe repair and condition (all whether involving interior or exterior, structural or nonstructural, ordinary or 21 Lease Agreement extraordinary, and foreseen or unforeseen circumstances); (b) except to the extent Section 9.5 shall apply, maintain, manage and monitor the Sites in accordance with all Applicable Laws and Regulations, whether or not such maintenance requires structural modifications, noncompliance with which (i) would have a material adverse effect on Lessee's right to use the Sites or Lessee's business or financial condition, (ii) would cause any of the results enumerated in Section 9.5 hereof, (iii) would materially adversely affect the Fair Market Sales Value, utility, remaining economic useful life or residual value of the Sites, or (iv) would materially adversely affect Lessor's interest in the Sites; (c) comply with the standards imposed by any insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder which are in effect at any time with respect to the Sites or any part thereof; (d) maintain, manage and monitor the Sites in accordance with all applicable contracts, including service contracts and insurance contracts; (e) conduct maintenance and repair under the same programs and subject to the same standards as Lessee or its Affiliates shall maintain and repair other healthcare facilities owned, leased or operated by Lessee or its Affiliates; (f) cause the Sites to continue to have at all times the capacity and functional ability to be used for, on a continuing basis (subject to normal interruption in the ordinary course of business for maintenance, inspection and repair) and in commercial operation, the purposes for which it was specifically designed; (g) maintain appropriate and customary written environmental operations and maintenance plans (including, where appropriate for asbestos-containing materials) for the Sites; and (h) procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all material licenses, permits, orders, approvals, consents and other authorizations required for the construction, use, maintenance and operation of the Sites and for the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Facilities. Lessee waives any right that it may now have or hereafter acquire to (x) require Lessor to maintain, repair, replace, alter, remove or rebuild all or any part of the Sites or (y) make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any Applicable Laws and Regulations or other agreements. SECTION 9.2. Alterations. (a) At Lessee's own cost and expense, (i) Lessee shall make alterations, renovations, improvements and additions to any Site(s) or any part thereof and substitutions and replacements therefor (collectively, "Alterations") so long as such Alterations are (A) made to repair or maintain the Site(s) in the condition required by Section 9.1; (B) necessary in order for the Site(s) to be in compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations; or (C) necessary or advisable to restore the Site(s) to their 22 Lease Agreement condition existing prior to a Casualty or Condemnation; and (ii) so long as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may undertake Alterations on one or more Sites so long as such Alterations comply with Applicable Laws and Regulations and with Section 9.1 and subsection (b) of this Section 9.2. (b) The making of any Alterations must be in compliance with the following requirements; provided that in the case of any Alteration required by an emergency or by Applicable Laws and Regulations, Lessee shall (x) promptly notify Agent thereof, (y) not be bound by the provisions of clause (1) below and (z) effect such Alteration in a manner to avoid (or minimize if it is not possible to avoid) any violation of clause (5) below: (1) No such Alterations with a cost exceeding $500,000 (or, in the case of related Alterations at any one Site, with an aggregate cost exceeding $500,000) shall be made or undertaken except upon not less than thirty days' prior written approval of Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. For any Alterations which are subject to this clause (1), if Agent, in its good faith judgment, believes that such Alterations may violate the provisions of clause (5) below, Agent (on behalf of the Participants) may engage an appraiser of nationally recognized standing, at Lessee's expense, to determine (by appraisal methods satisfactory to Agent) the projected Fair Market Sales Value of any Facility following the completion of Alterations relating thereto and may delay its approval until receipt of such appraisal. (2) Lessee shall not make any Alterations in violation of the terms of any restriction, easement, condition or covenant or other matter affecting title to the Site. (3) No Alterations shall be undertaken until Lessee shall have procured and paid for, so far as the same may be required from time to time, all permits and authorizations relating to such Alterations of all municipal and other Authorities having jurisdiction over the Site. Lessor, at Lessee's expense, shall join in the application for any such permit or authorization and execute and deliver any document in connection therewith, whenever such joinder is necessary or advisable. (4) The Alterations shall be expeditiously completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all 23 Lease Agreement Applicable Laws and Regulations then in effect and the standards imposed by any insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder. (5) All Alterations shall, when completed, be of such a character as to not materially adversely affect the Fair Market Sales Value, utility, remaining economic useful life or residual value of the Site from its Fair Market Sales Value, utility, remaining economic useful life or residual value immediately prior to the making thereof or, in the case of Alterations being made by virtue of a Casualty or Condemnation, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation. (6) Lessee shall have made adequate arrangements for payment of the cost of all Alterations when due so that the Site shall at all times be free of Liens for labor and materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Site, other than Permitted Liens; provided, that Lessee shall have the right to contest the amount claimed by any such supplier of labor or materials in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 9.5. SECTION 9.3. Title to Alterations. Title to Alterations shall without further act vest in Lessor and shall be deemed to constitute a part of the related Site and be subject to this Lease in the following cases: (a) such Alterations shall be in replacement of or in substitution for a portion of the Facilities and/or the Sites; (b) such Alterations shall be required to be made pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1 or 9.2(a)(i) hereof; or (c) such Alterations shall be Nonseverable. Lessee, at Lessor's request, shall execute and deliver any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or other documents of conveyance reasonably necessary to evidence the vesting of title in and to such Alterations to Lessor. If such Alterations are not within any of the categories set forth in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 9.3, then title to such Alterations shall vest in Lessee and such Alterations shall not be deemed to be Alterations which are part of the Site. 24 Lease Agreement All Alterations to which Lessee shall have title may, so long as removal thereof shall not result in the violation of any Applicable Laws and Regulations and no Lease Event of Default or Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default is continuing, be removed at any time by Lessee.

Regardless of Lessor's consent, no subletting shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay Rent hereunder (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor from any other Person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof. Consent to one subletting of one Site shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent or further subletting of such Site or any other Site. Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said successor. (b) Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to all Subleases entered into by Lessee in accordance with Section 12.1(a), now or hereafter in effect, including but not limited to all rents and other sums payable to Lessee under each such Sublease. Lessor shall have no obligation to perform, and Lessee shall not by reason of such assignment be relieved of its obligation to perform, any of Lessee's covenants or agreements under this Lease or covenants or agreements of Lessee, as sublessor, under any such Sublease; provided that, upon the termination of this Lease or upon termination of Lessee's right to possess the Site following a Lease Event of Default (the date of such termination shall be referred to herein as the "Turnover Date") the following shall 30 Lease Agreement apply: (A) if Lessee acquires ownership of the Site in accordance with the terms of this Lease or if Lessee's right to possess the Site has been terminated following a Lease Event of Default then, subject to the provisions of Article XVIII, Lessee shall continue to be liable for all obligations under the Subleases; or (B) if Lessee does not acquire ownership of the Site, (i) Lessee shall continue to be liable for any obligations under the Subleases accruing or arising prior to the Turnover Date and for any tenant improvement obligations arising or accruing prior to the later of (x) the Turnover Date and (y) the scheduled termination date of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term or the Extended Renewal Term, as applicable, and (ii) with respect to any Subleases not terminated in accordance with Section 12.2(b), Lessor (or any successor owner of the Site (the "Designated Owner")) shall assume and be liable for, subject to the limitations on the liability of the Designated Owner set forth in Section 12.2 and subject to the limitations on the liability of Lessee set forth in Article XVIII, Lessee's obligations under the Subleases other than those referred to in clause (i) above.

SECTION 12.2. Sublease Subordination. (a) In the case of any proposed Sublease with a Subtenant, not less than thirty days prior to the consummation of such Sublease (or in the case of a Sublease to be entered into within ten days after the Document Closing Date, not later than the fifth day after the Document Closing Date), Lessee shall deliver to Lessor each of the following: (i) a certification of Lessee identifying the proposed Subtenant in question and confirming that such proposed Subtenant satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(a) and Section 12.2(b), and (ii) a copy of the proposed Sublease. (b) In the case of any Sublease, following the Turnover Date the Designated Owner shall have the right to terminate such Sublease and the Subtenant's Sublease and right of possession thereunder or, in the alternative (at the Designated Owner's option), the Designated Owner may require the Subtenant under such Sublease to attorn to the Designated Owner; and in the 31 Lease Agreement case of such required attornment, the rights (including, without limitation, the right of possession) of such Subtenant under such Sublease shall not be disturbed or affected by the Designated Owner so long as no default by such Subtenant exists under the terms of such Sublease as would enable Lessee (as sublessor) to terminate such Sublease or would cause termination of such Sublease or would entitle Lessee (as sublessor) to dispossess the Subtenant under such Sublease. Each Sublease shall contain the following language: "The Tenant hereunder agrees that this Lease is subject and subordinate to the lease under which the Landlord hereunder occupies the Property (the "Overlease", with the landlord under the Overlease and its successors and assigns in interest to the Property or this Lease being hereinafter referred to as the "Overlandlord") and in the event of the termination of the Overlease or in the event the Overlandlord terminates the Landlord's right of possession under the Overlease (the date on which either such termination becomes effective being referred to herein as the "Turnover Date"), the Overlandlord shall have (i) the right to terminate this Lease and the Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or, in the alternative (at the Overlandlord's option), (ii) the right to require the Tenant hereunder to attorn to the Overlandlord; and in the case of such required attornment election, the Tenant hereunder will attorn to the Overlandlord and pay the Overlandlord all of the rents and other monies required to be paid by the Tenant hereunder, and perform all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations contained in this Lease, and this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between the Tenant hereunder and the Overlandlord upon all of the terms and conditions hereof except that in no event shall the Overlandlord have any obligation to perform any obligation of the Landlord hereunder with respect to obligations of the Landlord hereunder accruing prior to the Turnover Date and that any obligations of the Overlandlord (or any successor Overlandlord) hereunder arising after the Turnover Date shall be without recourse to Overlandlord 32 Lease Agreement (other than the interest of the Overlandlord in the property demised by this Lease)."

ARTICLE XVIII ENFORCEMENT SECTION 18.1. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, at Lessor's option and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any other right or remedy Lessor may have on account of such default (including, without limitation, the obligation of Lessee to purchase the Sites as set forth below), and without any further demand or notice, Lessor may cause the following to occur: (i) By notice to Lessee, Lessor may terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Sites. A notice given in connection with unlawful detainer proceedings specifying a time within which to cure a default shall terminate Lessee's right to possession if Lessee fails to cure the default within the time specified in the notice. (ii) Upon termination of Lessee's right to possession and without further demand or notice, Lessee shall surrender possession and vacate the Sites and deliver possession thereof, and Lessor may re-enter the Sites and remove any persons in possession thereof. (iii) Upon termination of Lessee's right to possession, this Lease shall terminate and Lessor may declare to be immediately due and payable, and Lessor shall be entitled to (x) recover from Lessee the following amounts and (y) take the following actions: 41 Lease Agreement (A) Lessee shall pay all accrued and unpaid Rent hereunder (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) which had been earned at the time of termination; (B) Lessor may elect any of the following: (1) Lessor may demand, by written notice to the Lessee specifying a Payment Date (the "Final Rent Payment Date") not earlier than ten (10) days after the date of such notice, that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the Final Rent Payment Date (in lieu of Basic Rent due after the Final Rent Payment Date), an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Lease Balance computed as of the Final Rent Payment Date, plus (B) all accrued and unpaid Rent due and unpaid to and including the Final Rent Payment Date, and upon payment of such amount, and the amount of all other sums due and payable by Lessee under this Lease and the other Operative Documents (and interest at the Overdue Rate on the amounts payable under this clause (B)(1) from the Final Rent Payment Date to the date of actual payment), Lessor shall transfer by quitclaim deed to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Sites without recourse or warranty, but free and clear of Lessor Liens; or (2) Lessor may sell its interest in the Sites, in which event Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) all amounts due Lessor under clause (B)(1) above over (y) the net sale proceeds received by Lessor from the foregoing sale (provided, that in calculating such net sale proceeds, all expenses and taxes incurred by Lessor, Agent or any of the Lenders in connection with such sale, including, without limitation, legal fees, shall be deducted from such sales proceeds); (C) Any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all actual damages caused by Lessee's failure to perform Lessee's obligation under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the costs and 42 Lease Agreement expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, advertising costs and brokers' commissions) of recovering possession of the Sites, removing persons or property therefrom, placing the Sites in good order, condition, and repair, preparing and altering the Sites for reletting, and all other costs and expenses of reletting; and (D) Such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. (iv) Lessor may enforce the Lien given hereunder pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof, Section 11 of the Lease Supplements, the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law. (v) If Lessee has breached this Lease and abandoned the Site, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's right to possession, and Lessor may enforce all of Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent hereunder (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) as it becomes due under this Lease. Lessee's right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by Lessor except pursuant to clause (i) above. The following do not constitute a termination of Lessee's right to possession: (A) Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Sites; (B) The appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of Lessor to protect Lessor's interest under this Lease; (C) Reasonable withholding of consent to an assignment or subletting, or terminating a subletting or assignment by Lessee. (vi) In the event that Lessor elects to continue this Lease in full force and effect, Lessor may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the right to recover Rent hereunder (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) as it becomes due. During the continuance of a Lease Event of Default, Lessor may enter the Sites in accordance with applicable law without terminating this Lease and sublet all or any part of the Sites for Lessee's account to any Person, for such term (which may be a period beyond the remaining 43 Lease Agreement Lease Term), at such rents and on such other terms and conditions as are commercially reasonable. In the event of any such subletting, rents received by Lessor from such subletting shall be applied (i) first, to the payment of the reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in maintaining, preserving, altering and preparing the Sites for subletting and other costs of subletting, including, but not limited to, brokers' commissions and attorneys' fee; (ii) second, to the payment of Rent hereunder (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) then due and payable; (iii) third, to the payment of future Rent hereunder (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) as the same may become due and payable hereunder; (iv) fourth, to the payment of all other obligations of Lessee hereunder, and (v) fifth, the balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee upon (but not before) expiration of the Lease Term. If the rents received by Lessor from such subletting, after application as provided above, are insufficient in any period to pay the Rent (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) due and payable hereunder for such period, Lessee shall pay such deficiency to Lessor upon demand. Notwithstanding any such subletting for Lessee's account without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter, by written notice to Lessee, elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of a previous Lease Event of Default. Upon (but not before) and during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default, if Lessee has abandoned the Sites, for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Sites, Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its approval to a sublease of the Sites; provided, however, that Lessor's withholding of such consent shall not be deemed unreasonable upon the standard contained in Section 12.1. (vii) Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Laws and Regulations or in equity, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms or to recover damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any Rent Installment Period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Lessor's right to collect any such damages for any subsequent Rent Installment Period(s), or Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Basic Term or any Renewal Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Basic Term, or such Renewal Term; or 44 Lease Agreement (viii) Lessor may retain and apply against Lessor's damages all sums which Lessor would, absent such Lease Event of Default, be required to pay to, or turn over to, Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease. (ix) Lessor may exercise the remedies described in Section 11 of the Lease Supplement. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee acknowledges that (i) pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Security Agreement, the Joint Stock Collateral constitutes additional security for the payment and performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease and the other Operative Documents, and (ii) the Guaranty and Agreement of Suretyship Regarding Obligations Lessee and Affiliates, as it may be amended from time to time, which constitutes one of the Guaranties shall constitute further additional security for, among other things, the payment and performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease and the other Operative Documents. SECTION 18.2. Proceeds of Sale; Deficiency. All payments received and amounts held or realized by Lessor at any time when a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and after the Lease Balance shall have been accelerated pursuant to Article XVIII as well as all payments or amounts then held or thereafter received by Lessor, except for rents received by Lessor from subletting pursuant to Section 18.1(vi) and the proceeds of sale pursuant to Section 11 of the Lease Supplements, shall be distributed forthwith upon receipt by Lessor in the following order of priority: first: so much of such payments or amounts as shall be required to reimburse Lessor for any tax (other than any income tax payable on Basic Rent or interest and on fees and other compensation of Lessor), expense or other amount owed to Lessor in connection with the collection or distribution of such payments or amounts to the extent not previously reimbursed by Lessee (including, without limitation, the expenses of any sale, taking or other proceeding, expenses in connection with realizing on any of the Sites, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (including the allocated costs of internal counsel), court costs and any other reasonable expenditures incurred or reasonable expenditures or advances made by Lessor in the protection, exercise or enforcement of any right, power or remedy upon such Lease Event of Default whether pursuant to Article XVII or otherwise) shall be so applied by Lessor; 45 Lease Agreement second: so much of such payments or amounts except those specified in clause third below, which under the terms of this Lease and the other Operative Documents have accrued shall be so applied; third: so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay Agent (on behalf of the Participants) in full the aggregate unpaid Lease Balance and all Basic Rent (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest on interest) shall be so applied (to be distributed by Agent pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Loan Agreement); and fourth: so much of such payments or amounts as shall remain shall be distributed to Lessee. SECTION 18.3. Grant and Foreclosure on Lessee's Estate. Each Lease Supplement shall contain a provision by which Lessee grants to a trustee, in trust, with power of sale, or grants a mortgage lien to Lessor in, all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to the Sites subject to each such Lease Supplement and, upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, granting Lessor the power and authority, after fulfillment of certain conditions, to cause the trustee to sell, or foreclose its mortgage lien against, the Sites. SECTION 18.4. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Consents. To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Laws and Regulations, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Lessor or otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Lessor in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of Lessee or be an acquiescence therein. Lessor's consent to any request made by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor's consent, in the future, to all similar requests. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Lease Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Lease Default or Lease 46 Lease Agreement Event of Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise that may require Lessor (i) to provide any notice to Lessee, or (ii) to sell, lease or otherwise use the Site or part thereof in mitigation of Lessor's damages, or (iii) to take any other action, upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, or that may otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article XVIII. ARTICLE XIX RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE If Lessee shall fail to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, on five Business Days' prior notice to Lessee (except in the event of an emergency, in which case only one Business Day's prior notice shall be required), perform or comply with such agreement, and Lessor shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any default caused by such failure, and the amount of such payment and the amount of the expenses of Lessor (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand; provided that in the case of an emergency Lessee shall permit Lessor so to perform or comply on less than one Business Day's notice unless Lessee has a good faith reason not to permit Lessor to do so. ARTICLE XX LESSOR LIENS In the event that Lessor shall be obligated to remove any Lessor Liens from the Sites and shall fail to do so, Lessee shall have a claim against Lessor for such failure, but shall not have any right of offset. ARTICLE XXI MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 21.1. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns; Survival. The terms and provisions of this Lease, and the respective rights and obligations hereunder of Lessor, Lessee, Agent and the Lenders shall be binding upon them and their respective successors, legal representatives and assigns 47 Lease Agreement (including, in the case of Lessor, any Person to whom Lessor may transfer the Sites or any interest therein in accordance with the provisions of the Operative Documents), and inure to their benefit and the benefit of their respective permitted successors, legal representatives and assigns.

SECTION 21.8. Discharge of Lessee's Obligations by its Affiliates. Lessor agrees that performance of any of Lessee's obligations hereunder by one or more of its Affiliates or one or more sublessees of the Site or any part thereof shall constitute performance by Lessee of such obligations to the same extent and with the same effect hereunder as if such obligations were performed by Lessee, but no such performance shall excuse Lessee from any obligation not performed by it or on its behalf under the Operative Documents. SECTION 21.9. Liability of Lessor Limited. The parties hereto agree that Lessor shall have no personal liability whatsoever to Lessee or its respective successors and assigns for any Claim based on or in respect of this Lease or any of the other Operative Documents or arising in any way from the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that Lessor shall be liable in its individual capacity for (i) Lessor Liens required to be removed by Lessor under Section 6.2(a) of the Participation Agreement and (ii) its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. It is understood and agreed that, except as provided in the preceding proviso: (i) Lessor shall have no personal liability under any of the Operative Documents; (ii) all obligations of Lessor to Lessee are solely nonrecourse obligations, recourse being limited to its interest 49 Lease Agreement in the Sites and the Operative Documents (excluding Excluded Amounts); and (iii) all such personal liability of Lessor is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution and delivery of the Operative Documents by Lessor.

In addition, Lessee, promptly, but in no event later than thirty days after request by any other party hereto, shall obtain and deliver to such other party or to any prospective purchaser (if such prospective purchaser has signed a commitment letter or letter of intent to purchase the Site or any part thereof or to purchase any Note), assignee, mortgagee or third party designated by such other party, an estoppel certificate from each Subtenant under each Sublease containing such items as reasonably requested by the party requesting the same; provided that no such certificate may be requested unless the requesting party has a good faith reason for such request. SECTION 21.11. No Joint Venture. Any intention to create a joint venture or partnership relation between Lessor and Lessee is hereby expressly disclaimed. 50 Lease Agreement SECTION 21.12. No Accord and Satisfaction. The acceptance by Lessor of any sums from Lessee (whether as Basic Rent or otherwise) in amounts which are less than the amounts due and payable by Lessee hereunder is not intended, nor shall be construed, to constitute an accord and satisfaction of any dispute between Lessor and Lessee regarding sums due and payable by Lessee hereunder, unless the Required Participants specifically deem it as such in writing. SECTION 21.13. No Merger. In no event shall the Leasehold Estate of Lessee hereunder, or the rights and interests of the holder of any Notes secured by a Lien in this Lease, merge with any interests, estates or rights of Lessor in or to the Site, it being understood that such Leasehold Estate of Lessee hereunder, and the rights and interests of the holder of any Notes secured by a Lien in this Lease, shall be deemed to be separate and distinct from Lessor's interests, estates and rights in or to the Site, notwithstanding that any such interests, estates or rights shall at any time or times be held by or vested in the same Person. SECTION 21.14. Successor Lessor. Lessee agrees that, in the case of any transfer of the Sites to a successor Lessor in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Participation Agreement from time to time, such successor Lessor shall, upon written notice by such successor Lessor to Lessee, succeed to all the rights, powers and title of Lessor hereunder and shall be deemed to be Lessor for all purposes hereof and without in any way altering the terms of this Lease or Lessee's obligations hereunder. Such transfer to a successor Lessor shall not exhaust the right to any further transfer to another successor Lessor pursuant to said Section 6.2, but such right may be exercised repeatedly as long as this Lease shall be in effect. SECTION 21.15. Survival. The obligations of Lessee to be performed under this Lease prior to the Lease Termination Date and the obligations of Lessee pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, Article XVIII and Section 21.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. The extension of any applicable statute of limitations by Lessor, Agent, Lessee or any other Indemnitee shall not affect such survival. SECTION 21.16. Transfer of Sites to Lessee or any other Person. Whenever pursuant to any provision of this Lease Lessor is required to transfer the Sites to Lessee or to any other Person, such transfer shall be made at Lessee's expense (including, without limitation, all costs of conveyance, applicable transfer taxes and recording fees without regard to local custom) by the quitclaim transfer of all of Lessor's right, 51 Lease Agreement title and interest in and to the Sites on an "as is, where is, with all faults" basis free and clear of all Lessor Liens, but subject to the Lien of the Loan Agreement if and to the extent it may then attach, and otherwise without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, and together with the due assumption by Lessee (or such third party) of, and due release of Lessor from, all obligations relating to the Sites or the Operative Documents. Any provision in this Lease or other Operative Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor shall not be obligated to make any such transfer until Lessor has received all Rent and other amounts due and owing hereunder. SECTION 21.17. Enforcement of Certain Warranties. (a) Unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor authorizes Lessee (directly or through agents), at Lessee's expense, to assert, during the Lease Term, all of Lessor's rights (if any) under any applicable warranty and any other claim that Lessee or Lessor may have under the warranties provided to Lessor in connection with the purchase, of the Sites and Lessor agrees to cooperate, at Lessee's expense, with Lessee and its agents in asserting such rights. Any amount recovered by Lessee under any such warranties shall be paid to Lessee. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 21.17, so long as a Lease Event of Default or Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any amount that would otherwise be retained by Lessee pursuant to Section 21.17(a) shall be paid to Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, shall be invested by Lessor in accordance with Section 21.18 in Permitted Investments and, if a Lease Event of Default is continuing, may be applied to the obligations of Lessee hereunder, and, at such time thereafter as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default shall be continuing, such amount and gain thereon shall be paid promptly to Lessee to the extent not previously applied in accordance with the terms of this Lease. SECTION 21.18. Investment of Security Funds. Any amounts not payable to Lessee and paid to or retained by Lessor pursuant to any provision hereof solely because a Lease Event of Default or Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and be continuing or because Lessee shall not have performed in full its obligations under Article XIII shall be held by Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and the other Operative Documents. At such time as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Payment/Bankruptcy Default, or failure to perform shall be continuing, such amounts, net of any amounts 52 Lease Agreement previously applied to Lessee's obligations hereunder or under any other Operative Documents, shall be paid to Lessee. Any such amounts which are held pending payment to Lessee or application hereunder shall be invested by Lessor (or Agent) as directed from time to time in writing by Lessee (provided, however, if a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing it will be directed by Lessor), and at the expense and risk of Lessee, in Permitted Investments. Any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment) shall be applied from time to time in the same manner as the principal invested. Lessee will promptly pay to Lessor on demand, the amount of any loss realized as the result of any such investment (together with any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment), such amount to be held, paid and applied in the same manner as other amounts subject to this Section 21.18. SECTION 21.19. Recording of Lease Supplements. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease and concurrently with the execution and delivery of each Lease Supplement, Lessor and Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be recorded each such Lease Supplement in the official records of each County where the Site(s) that are the subject of this Lease or such Lease Supplement are located. Notwithstanding the execution, delivery and recording of any such Lease Supplement, the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall control. SECTION 21.20. Nature of Transaction. (a) It is the intent of the parties hereto that: (i) the transaction contemplated hereby constitutes an operating lease from Lessor to Lessee for purposes of Lessee's financial reporting, (ii) the transaction contemplated hereby preserves ownership in the Sites to Lessee for purposes of Federal and state tax and bankruptcy purposes, (iii) Lessee, pursuant to the Lease, grants a security interest or lien, as the case may be, in the Sites and the other Collateral to Lessor, (iv) for purposes of Federal and state tax and bankruptcy purposes, the payment by Lessee of the portions of Basic Rent described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition thereof shall be treated as payments of interest, and the payment by Lessee of the portions of Basic Rent described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof and any other amounts in respect of the Lease Balance shall be treated as repayments of principal, and (v) the Mortgage and Assignment of Lease create a lien and security interest in the Sites, subject to certain limited exceptions. Nevertheless, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that none of Lessor, Agent or any Lender has provided or will provide 53 Lease Agreement tax, accounting or legal advice to Lessee regarding the Overall Transaction or made any representations or warranties concerning the tax, accounting or legal characteristics of the Operative Documents and that Lessee has obtained and relied upon such tax, accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Documents as it deems appropriate. (b) Specifically, without limiting the generality of subsection (a) of this Section 21.20, but understanding that the parties' characterization is not the sole determinant of the issue, the parties hereto intend and agree that with respect to the nature of the transactions evidenced by this Lease in the context of the exercise of remedies under the Operative Documents, relating to and arising out of any insolvency or receivership proceedings or a petition under the United States bankruptcy laws or any other applicable insolvency laws or statute of the United States of America or any State or Commonwealth thereof affecting Lessee, Lessor or any Lender or any enforcement or collection actions, the transactions evidenced by the Operative Documents are loans made by the Lenders as unrelated third party lenders to Lessee secured by the Sites. 54 Lease Agreement IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have each caused this Lease to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

Upon receipt of any such notice from Lessor, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Lessee such Notice of Default and Election to Sell as is then required by applicable statutory authority and by this instrument, which notice shall set forth, among other things, the nature of the breach(es) or default(s), the action(s) required to effect a cure thereof and the time period within which that cure may be effected. If no cure is effected within the statutory time limits following recordation of the Notice of Default and Election to Sell and after Notice of Sale has been given as required by the above-referenced statutes, Trustee may without further notice or demand sell and convey the Sites in accordance with the above-referenced statutes. The Sites may be sold as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items and in such order as Lessor may direct, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Lessor may purchase all or any part of the Sites at such sale. Lessee acknowledges that sales for cash or on credit to a wholesaler, retailer or user of the Sites, at a public or private auction, are all commercially reasonable.

To the extent permitted by applicable statutes, Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Sites by 6 Lease Supplement public announcement at the time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may again postpone that sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice may make such sale at the time fixed at the last postponement or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. A sale of less than all of the Sites or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of sale provided for herein, and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until all of the Obligations have been satisfied or the entire Sites sold, without defect or irregularity. No action of Lessor or Trustee based upon the provisions contained herein or contained in the applicable statutes, including, without limitation, the giving of the Notice of Default and Election to Sell or the Notice of Sale, shall constitute an election of remedies which would preclude Lessor from pursuing judicial foreclosure before a completed sale pursuant to the power of sale contained herein. Lessor shall have the right, with the irrevocable consent of Lessee hereby given and evidenced by the execution of this instrument, to obtain appointment of a receiver by any court of competent jurisdiction without further notice to Lessee, which receiver shall be authorized and empowered to enter upon and take possession of the Sites, including all personal property constituting a permanent part of the Site and fixtures thereto used upon or in connection with the real property herein conveyed (and any other personal property constituting a part of the Site which Lessee acquired with the funds of Lessor or the Lenders), to let the Sites, to receive all the rents, issues and profits, if any, which may be due or become due in respect to the leasing of the Sites to another party and apply the rents after payment of all necessary charges and expenses to reduction of the Obligations in such order, proportion and priority as Lessor may elect. At the option of Lessor, the receiver shall accomplish entry and taking possession of the Sites by actual entry and possession or by notice to Lessee. The receiver so appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction shall be empowered to issue receiver's certificates for funds advanced by Lessor for the purpose of protecting the value of the Sites as security for the Obligations. The amounts evidenced by receiver's certificates shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate and may be added to the Obligations if Lessee or a junior lienholder purchases the Sites at the trustee's sale. Trustee or any successor acting hereunder may resign and thereupon be discharged of the trusts hereunder upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lessor. Regardless of whether Trustee resigns, Lessor may, from time to time, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder 7 Lease Supplement in accordance with any statutory procedure for such substitution; or if Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, so elects, and if permitted by law, Lessor may substitute such successors or successors by recording, in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where a Site is located, a document executed by Lessor and containing the name of the original Lessee and Lessor hereunder, the book and page where this instrument (or a memorandum hereof) is recorded (and/or instrument number, as applicable) and the name of the new Trustee, which instrument shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to the rights, powers and duties hereunder. It is acknowledged that A POWER OF SALE HAS BEEN GRANTED IN THIS INSTRUMENT; A POWER OF SALE MAY ALLOW LESSOR TO TAKE THE SITES AND SELL THEM WITHOUT GOING TO COURT IN A FORECLOSURE ACTION UPON DEFAULT BY LESSEE UNDER THIS INSTRUMENT. 12.
