Item 1.01.Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.
 
  Master Lease and Guaranty

On December 23, 2013, NHI-REIT of Next House, LLC ("Next House"), a wholly owned subsidiary of National Health Investors, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”), acquired a portfolio of 25 independent living facilities (the “Holiday Portfolio”), located in 12 states, for a total cash purchase price of $491 million (as defined below) plus $1.5 million for transaction costs, pursuant to the purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between Next House and certain subsidiaries of Holiday Acquisition Holdings LLC (“Holiday”) dated November 18, 2013 which was previously announced and disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2013. In connection with the completion of the acquisition, Next House leased the Holiday Portfolio to NH Master Tenant, LLC (“Holiday Tenant”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holiday, pursuant to the Master Lease between Next House, two wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and Holiday Tenant dated December 23, 2013. Holiday Tenant has subleased such facilities to 25 of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the "Subtenants") which will operate the facilities.

Holiday will continue to operate the facilities pursuant to a management agreement with a Holiday-affiliated manager. Under the Master Lease, Holiday Tenant is responsible for costs associated with operating and maintaining the Holiday Portfolio, including taxes, insurance and repair and maintenance. The term of the Master Lease is 17 years following its commencement date. The Master Lease provides for base rent in the first year of approximately $31.9 million, with base rent to increase by 4.5% of the base rent for the prior year in years two, three and four. Thereafter, base rent increases by the base rate applicable for the immediately preceding year multiplied by the lesser of (i) 3.75%; and (ii) the greater of (x) 3.5% and (y) the CPI increase during the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 30 of the calendar year immediately preceding such base rent increase. Under the Master Lease, the tenant is required to make capital improvements to the Holiday Portfolio equal to a minimum of $1,000 per unit at each facility for rolling two-year periods commencing with the two-year period ending on December 31, 2015. In addition, the tenant will make $1.5 million of agreed-upon capital expenditures to certain facilities in 2014.

The Master Lease obligates Holiday Tenant to maintain specified lease coverage ratios, which the Master Lease defines as Net Operating Income (as defined in the Master Lease) divided by the base rent for such trailing 12-month period. The following sets forth information about the required lease coverage ratios under the Master Lease:
From and after the quarter ending December 31, 2014 and for each subsequent quarter through the quarter ending December 31, 2018, the Holiday Portfolio is required to have a lease coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00.
From and after the quarter ending March 31, 2019 and for each subsequent quarter through the quarter ending December 31, 2023, the Holiday Portfolio is required to have a lease coverage ratio of not less than 1.05 to 1.00.
From and after the quarter ending March 31, 2024 and for each subsequent quarter through the quarter ending December 31, 2028, the Holiday Portfolio is required to have a lease coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00.
From the quarter ending March 31, 2029 and for each quarter thereafter, the Holiday Portfolio is required to have a lease coverage ratio of 1.15 to 1.00.
The Master Lease also required Holiday Tenant to deposit a security deposit with Next House in the amount of approximately $21.3 million, which serves as security for Holiday Tenant’s performance of its obligations to Next House under the Master Lease. Management fees payable to the Holiday-affiliated manager are subordinated to Holiday Tenant’s obligation to pay rent to Next House under the Master Lease. Additionally, Holiday Tenant and the Subtenants granted Next House a first priority security interest in certain personal property used in the operations of the Holiday Portfolio and receivables arising from the operations of the Holiday Portfolio, which security interest secures Holiday Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease. The Master Lease terms also include (i) a non-competition provision restricting Holiday Tenant and certain of its affiliates, including Holiday Holdings (as defined below), from developing or constructing new independent living properties within 10 miles of any property acquired by Next House in the acquisition, (ii) restrictions on a change of control of Holiday Tenant or certain of its affiliates, including Holiday Holdings, subject to certain exceptions, and (iii) customary operating covenants, events of default and remedies.


DAL:0026398/00005:2253034v5



Holiday Tenant’s obligations to Next House under the Master Lease have been guaranteed by its indirect parent entity, Holiday AL Holdings, LP (“Holiday Holdings”), pursuant to the Guaranty of Lease between us, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, and Holiday Holdings (the “Guaranty”). Subject to certain exceptions, the Guaranty provides that Holiday Holdings will maintain a minimum net worth of $150 million, a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10x and a maximum leverage ratio of 10x.
 
Term Loan
 
On December 23, 2013, we entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) with certain of our subsidiaries acting as guarantors and limited guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent for the lenders party to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of June 28, 2013 previously entered into by the Company (the “Credit Agreement” and as amended by the First Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, various lenders thereunder made a $250 million term loan on December 23, 2013 (the “Term Loan”) to the Company, which was used to fund in part the acquisition of the Holiday Portfolio. The Term Loan has a maturity date of June 28, 2018. Subject to certain exceptions, the interest rate on the Term Loan is, at our option, (a) LIBOR for periods of one, two, three or six months, as selected by us, plus 175 basis points or (b) a rate equal to the sum of (i) the highest of (x) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (y) the prime commercial interest rate of Wells Fargo and (z) the daily LIBOR for a one month interest period plus 1.0%, plus (ii) 75 basis points. Subject to proper notice requirements, the Term Loan may be prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, and without penalty or premium (other than applicable breakage costs). Provided that the Company is not in default under the Amended Credit Agreement and subject to certain other conditions, at any time prior to June 28, 2017, the Company may request from time to time one or more increases in the aggregate revolving loan commitments or one or more incremental term loan commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. The aggregate amount of all such incremental loan commitments shall not exceed $130,000,000.

The Amended Credit Agreement is unsecured. The obligations of the Company under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by various existing and future wholly owned and non-wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to guarantee and limited guarantee agreements. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, but not limited to restrictions on indebtedness, liens, guarantee obligations, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, leases, restrictions on the payment of dividends, investments, loans and advances, transactions with affiliates and sale and leaseback transactions. The covenants are subject to certain exceptions, including an exception for cash dividends necessary to maintain the Company's qualification as a real estate investment trust. The Amended Credit Agreement includes customary events of default for financings of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable).

As of December 23, 2013, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, including the Term Loan, is $537,000,000.
 
On December 23, 2013, we issued a press release announcing the acquisition of the Holiday Portfolio, the execution of the First Amendment, the Master Lease and the Guaranty and the funding of the Term Loan. The press release is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As described above in Item 1.01, on December 23, 2013, Next House acquired the Holiday Portfolio, located in 12 states, for a total cash purchase price of $491 million, plus $1.5 million for transaction costs, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with certain subsidiaries of Holiday dated November 18, 2013. We funded the acquisition through the use of proceeds of the Term Loan described above in Item 1.01 and proceeds from the sale of 5,175,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $57.00 per share. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $282.3 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

SECTION 3.4      SWING LINE LOANS.
(a)      As a convenience to the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, in its sole discretion, may make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender may make and the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans.
(b)      Swing Line Loans shall be made available to the Borrower by means of a credit to a deposit account of the Borrower with the Swing Line Lender pursuant to arrangements mutually acceptable to the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender.
(c)      The Swing Line Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swing Line Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Applicable Percentage of such Swing Line Loan or Loans.

Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6 with respect


52450492_8



to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.6 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swing Line Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swing Line Lender. Any amounts received by the Swing Line Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swing Line Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swing Line Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
(d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 2.4 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.19 and Section 2.20 .
SECTION 3.5      LETTERS OF CREDIT.
(a)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of any Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (in a minimum amount of $25,000 unless otherwise approved by the Issuing Bank), at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue or extend any Letter of Credit if (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) any Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, (iii) any Person that Controls such Revolving Credit Lender or its holding company has been deemed insolvent or become the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding or (iv) any Revolving Credit Lender or any such Person is believed in good faith by the Issuing Bank to have defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other syndicated credit facilities. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b)      To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or send via facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least by 10:00 a.m. three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a Letter of Credit Agreement in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.


52450492_8



(c)      Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension exclusive of evergreen renewal provisions) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (unless, in the case of this clause (ii), the Borrower makes arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to Cash Collateralize (which shall be composed solely of cash) such Letter of Credit on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date); provided , however , that in no event shall any Letter of Credit expire more than one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit.
(d)      By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Applicable Percentage of each drawing of each Letter of Credit not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e)      If the Issuing Bank shall make any payment in respect of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such payment by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such payment not later than 1:30 p.m. on the date of such payment if the Borrower shall have received notice of such drawing prior to 10:00 a.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:30 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice (together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans hereunder). If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable drawing, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.6 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such payment.
(f)      The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Letter of Credit drawings as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent


52450492_8



or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g)      The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make a payment thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such payment.
(h)      If the Issuing Bank shall make any payment under a Letter of Credit then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such payment in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such payment is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such payment, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such payment on the Business Day after the date when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then the Default Rate shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i)      If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize, an amount in cash equal to the Letter of Credit Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.1 .


52450492_8



(j)      Any deposits used to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or, in the case of Cash Collateral deposited at the termination of this Agreement or pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, in an account with the Issuing Bank for its own account. The Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in any such account maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Letter of Credit Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The balance, if any, in any such Cash Collateral account deposited by the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section shall be returned to the Borrower: (i) following a determination by the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (each in their sole discretion) that an Event of Default no longer exists or (ii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Letter of Credit Exposure shall have been reimbursed and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full.

Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swing Line Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.4 . The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account maintained with the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.
SECTION 3.7      INTEREST ELECTIONS.
(a)      Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swing Line Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
(b)      To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.
(c)      Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.3 :
(i)      the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies (including if such Borrowing is a Revolving Loan, a Term A-1 Loan, a Term A-2 Loan, a Term A-3 Loan or, if applicable, an Incremental Term Loan) and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof,


52450492_8



the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing), each of which shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.2(c) regarding minimum and multiple amounts applicable to the continuation and conversion of Borrowings;
(ii)      the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)      whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing; and
(iv)      if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)      Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Appropriate Lender of the details thereof and of such Appropriate Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)      If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 3.8      TERMINATION AND REDUCTION OF REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS.
(a)      Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(b)      The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (A) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10 , the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.
(c)      The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any such termination or reduction shall be permanent and shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments thereto.

(e)      Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note having terms consistent with this Agreement. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender promissory note(s) payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.

(ii)    On the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the fees payable to the Term A-3 Arrangers and/or the Administrative Agent, in each case as applicable, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
(d)      All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 3.12      INTEREST.
(a)      The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)      The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)      Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (ii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) , (g) or (h) , or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Rate) then applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Rate) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, (B) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising


52450492_8



hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Rate) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (C) all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “ Default Rate ”). Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law.
(e)      Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing June 29, 2012; and interest on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period (the “ Interest Payment Date ”). All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year).
(f)      If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason (other than solely as a result of a Change in Law or change in GAAP that occurs after the date of the delivery of the applicable Compliance Certificate and is applied retroactively), the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, otherwise available hereunder, including, without limitation, rights under Section 2.12(c) and Article VIII . The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 3.13      ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing:
(a)      the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b)      the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period does not and will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.
SECTION 3.14      GUARANTIES. All Obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party shall be Guaranteed jointly and severally by each Subsidiary of the Borrower (other


52450492_8



than any Excluded Subsidiaries), as evidenced by and subject to the terms of guaranties in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of the Borrower may be Limited Guarantors to the extent permitted in Section 6.13(a)(ii) . To the extent that any Subsidiary is designated as an Excluded Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of Excluded Subsidiary or the release of a Subsidiary is otherwise approved by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 10.1 , the Administrative Agent is authorized to execute and, promptly upon such designation or approval shall, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, execute and deliver a release of such Subsidiary from the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or the Limited Guaranty Agreement, as applicable, on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties.
SECTION 3.15      PAYMENTS GENERALLY; ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S CLAWBACK.
(a)      Payments Generally . Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at its Payment Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein without setoff or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in respect of the applicable Facility in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)      Funding by the Lenders; Presumption by the Administrative Agent . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an Appropriate Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing hereunder that such Appropriate Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Appropriate Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Appropriate Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.6 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if an Appropriate Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Appropriate Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Appropriate Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practice on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Appropriate Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Appropriate Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Appropriate Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against an Appropriate Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(c)      Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Appropriate Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as


52450492_8



the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Appropriate Lender or the Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practice on interbank compensation.
(d)      Obligations of Lenders Several . The obligations of the Appropriate Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.4(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Appropriate Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.4(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Appropriate Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Appropriate Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Appropriate Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.4(c) .
SECTION 3.16      SHARING OF PAYMENT BY LENDERS. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(i)      if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)      the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in drawings made under any Letter of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 3.17      INCREASE IN COMMITMENTS.
(a)      Request for Increase . Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may from time to time during the period of four (4) years following the Closing Date request:
(i)      one or more increases in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increased commitment, an “ Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment ”) to make incremental revolving credit loans (any such increase, an “ Incremental Revolving Credit Increase ”); or
(ii)      one or more incremental term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “ Incremental Term Loan Commitment ” and, together with the Incremental Revolving Credit


52450492_8



Commitments, the “ Incremental Loan Commitments ”) to make incremental term loans under the Term Loan Facilities (any such incremental term loan, an “ Incremental Term Loan ”);
provided that: (A) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Loan Commitments shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed $130,000,000; (B) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in a principal amount of not less than $25,000,000; (C) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Term Loans made thereunder) shall be in a principal amount not less than $10,000,000; and (D) the Borrower may make in the aggregate a maximum of three (3) requests for Incremental Loan Commitments ( provided that at the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Appropriate Lender is requested to respond).
(b)      Lender Elections to Increase . Each Appropriate Lender requested by the Borrower to increase its Commitment under the applicable Facility shall notify the Administrative Agent within the time period specified by the Borrower (which shall be a period acceptable to the Administrative Agent) whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment under the applicable Facility and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage in respect of the applicable Facility of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment under the applicable Facility.
(c)      Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders . The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. Whether or not necessary to achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (and, solely with respect to an Incremental Revolving Credit Increase, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld)), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders under the applicable Facility pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(d)      Effective Date and Allocations . The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (each, an “ Increase Effective Date ”) and the final allocation of each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase or Incremental Term Loan, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders of the final allocation of the Incremental Revolving Credit Increase or the Incremental Term Loan, as applicable, and the Increase Effective Date.
(e)      Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase . As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party:
(i)      certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase; and
(ii)      in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase and any Loans made concurrently therewith:
(A)      the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and the other Loan Documents are true in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except (1) that if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies, such representation or warranty is true in all respects, (2) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true in all material respects as of such earlier date (unless a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies, in which case such representation or warranty is true in all respects), and (3) that for purposes of this Section 2.17 the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.5(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.1(a) and (b) , respectively;


52450492_8



(B)      the Borrower is in compliance, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, with the financial covenants contained in Section 6.12 hereof;
(C)      no Default exists;
(D)      except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 2.17 , each such Incremental Term Loan and Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall be on identical terms and conditions as applicable to the existing relevant Facility; provided that (A) the Applicable Rate with respect to such increase may differ from the Applicable Rate prior to giving effect to such increase and (B) an upfront fee may be paid to any Lender or Eligible Assignee (each, an “ Incremental Lender ”) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan or an Incremental Revolving Credit Increase, as applicable;
(E)      in the case of an Incremental Term Loan:
(1)      such Incremental Term Loan will mature not earlier than 91 days after the Term A-3 Loan Maturity Date; and
(2)      any Incremental Lender making any Incremental Term Loan shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Term Loan Lenders under the Initial Term Loans and each Incremental Term Loan shall receive proceeds of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10 ;
(F)      in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit Increase:
(1)      each Revolving Credit Lender increasing its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall make available to the Administrative Agent on the Increase Effective Date such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Revolving Credit Lenders, to be required in order to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Credit Applicable Percentages in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section;
(2)      to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Loans are reduced as a result of the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all such Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.3 ); and
(3)      any Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Revolving Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and any Borrowings made in connection with each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the other Revolving Loans made hereunder.
(f)      The Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be Term Loans; provided that each such Incremental Term Loan shall be designated as a separate tranche of the Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.


52450492_8



(g)      On any Increase Effective Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitment becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make, or be obligated to make, an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment and shall become a Term Loan Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loan made pursuant thereto.
(h)      On any Increase Effective Date on which any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment.
(i)      The Incremental Lenders shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, and the Incremental Lenders will not constitute a separate voting class for any purposes under this Agreement.
(j)      Each party hereto hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent, to enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents that are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate any Incremental Term Loan and any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase on the applicable Increase Effective Date.
(k)      Conflicting Provisions . This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.16 or 10.1 to the contrary.
SECTION 3.18      EXTENSION OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT MATURITY DATE. The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving Credit Maturity Date” by one year. The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days but not more than 90 days prior to the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving Credit Maturity Date”, a written request for such extension (an “ Extension Request ”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof.

SECTION 3.19      CASH COLLATERAL. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank and/or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(a)      Grant of Security Interest . The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Loans, to be applied pursuant to subsection (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)      Application . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.20 in respect of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Loans (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c)      Termination of Requirement . Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank and/or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.20 , the Person providing Cash Collateral, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
SECTION 3.20      DEFAULTING LENDERS.
(a)      Defaulting Lender Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(i)      Waivers and Amendments . Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii)      Defaulting Lender Waterfall . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third , to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender with respect to such


52450492_8



Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19 ; fourth , as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.19 ; sixth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh , so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) . Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)      Certain Fees .
(G)      No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.11(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(H)      Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit Fee pursuant to Section 2.11(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.19 .
(I)      With respect to any Commitment Fee or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, the Borrower shall (A) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (B) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender,


52450492_8



as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)      Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure . All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)      Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans .

For the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

ARTICLE X     
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 10.1      APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORITY. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and neither the Borrower nor any other Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
SECTION 10.2      RIGHTS AS A LENDER. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 10.3      EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(j)      shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(k)      shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(l)      shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.1 and 8.2 ) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or


52450492_8



willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.4      RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 10.5      DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub‑agents.
SECTION 10.6      RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, unless an Event of Default exists, the approval of the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender or bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank or Lender with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the


52450492_8



retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by Wells Fargo as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as the Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.
SECTION 10.7      NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 10.8      NO OTHER DUTIES, ETC. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, bookrunners, arrangers, lead arrangers or co-arrangers listed on the cover page or signature pages hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.


52450492_8



SECTION 10.9      GUARANTY MATTERS. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Subsidiary Guarantor or Limited Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document if (i) such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, or (ii) such release is permitted pursuant to Section 2.14 . Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor or Limited Guarantor from its obligations under any applicable Loan Document pursuant to this Section 9.9 .
SECTION 10.10      RELATED CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS. No Guaranteed Party that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 8.3 , or any collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of such collateral (including the release or impairment of any such collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and, in any such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Related Credit Arrangements only if the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender or Affiliate.
SECTION 10.11      SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UPON THE TERMINATION OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.

52450492_8



or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Section 10.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(e)      Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(f)      Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.4(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).


52450492_8



Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver requiring the unanimous consent of the Lenders under Section 10.1 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.13 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g)      Limitations upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.2 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.2(e) as though it were a Lender.
(h)      Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 11.7      NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person or entity shall be a third party beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents to which it is not a party.
SECTION 11.8      TIME. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement and each other of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 11.9      SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.

SECTION 11.10      COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION.
(f)      Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

(ii)      if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender; or
(iii)      if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1 and the condition giving rise to such compensation still exists (each such Lender, an “ Affected Lender ”).
(b)      For so long as any Replacement Event exists, the Borrower may seek one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “ Replacement Lender ”) at its sole cost and expense to purchase the affected Loans and Commitments of the Non-Consenting Lender or Affected Lender, as the case may be (such Lender, the “ Replaced Lender ”). Such purchase may be made, in whole or in part (subject to the minimum amount requirements in Section 10.5 and a requirement that the Replacement Lender assume a portion of the Commitment of the Replaced Lender that corresponds to the purchased portion of the Loans of such Replaced Lender), at an aggregate price no less than the outstanding principal amount of the purchased Loans plus accrued interest with respect thereto. In such case, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Replaced Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 10.5 to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, each Replacement Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by Section 10.5 in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the Replacement Lender. In the case of each replacement of a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), the Borrower shall pay such Replaced Lender, any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender (including any additional amounts owing under Section 3.1 ) prior to such replacement.
(c)      If a Replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (x) the date on which each Replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (y) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned have been paid in full by each Replacement Lender to such Replaced Lender, then such Replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Replaced Lender.
(d)      Notwithstanding anything herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a Replacement Lender.
SECTION 11.21      INDEPENDENT EFFECT OF COVENANTS. The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VI or VII hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Borrower shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under


52450492_8



any covenant contained in Articles VI or VII , before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VI or VII .
SECTION 11.22      REVERSAL OF PAYMENTS. To the extent any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment which payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, other Applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 11.23      INCONSISTENCIES WITH OTHER DOCUMENTS. In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided that any provision of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or the Limited Guaranty Agreement which imposes additional burdens on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.
SECTION 11.24      AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; NO NOVATION. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement based on facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety by the facilities described herein, and all loans and other obligations of the Borrower outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended, shall be deemed to be loans and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without any further action by any Person, except that the Administrative Agent shall make such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance of such Loans, together with any Loans funded on the Closing Date, reflect the respective Commitments and Loans of the Lenders hereunder.

RENT
During the Term, Tenant shall pay the Rent, including the Base Rent and all Additional Charges due hereunder, to NHI on behalf of Landlord, or to the appropriate governmental agency, as applicable, in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds. Any such payments to NHI shall be without right of offset, by wire transfer in accordance with the following instructions:
Pinnacle National Bank

Annual Base Rent shall equal $31,915,000.00 and shall be paid to Landlord in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the 1st day of each month commencing on the Commencement Date and shall be prorated for any period shorter than a whole month. Base Rent shall increase January 1, 2015, January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2017 to an amount equal to one hundred four and one half percent (104.5%) of the Base Rent for the prior twelve (12) month period.

20
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


4.2      Security Deposit . Tenant shall deposit as directed by Landlord, and Landlord shall hold, the amount of $21,275,000, (the “ Security Deposit ”), which shall serve as security for the performance by Tenant and Subtenants of the provisions of this Lease and shall not be deemed advance rent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord may use the Security Deposit, or any portion of it, to satisfy any outstanding obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall pay Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Security Deposit expended or applied by Landlord as provided in this Lease, within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord. At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant; provided , however , Landlord may retain an amount of the Security Deposit, as it shall reasonably determine, to secure the payment of any Rent, the amount of which Landlord is then unable to determine finally, or until Tenant confirms (by certificate or otherwise) expenditure by the Tenant of all amounts required under Section 7.1 (prorated as necessary in accordance with Section 7.1(c) ) (and Landlord shall return any such retained amount to Tenant promptly following the final determination of such Rent amount and the full payment to Landlord of such Rent, or following confirmation of the expenditure of all amounts required under Section 7.1 , as the case may be). The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord and, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with other assets of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit; provided , however , if at any time the landlord under this Lease is not an Approved Landlord, the foregoing deposits attributable to such Facility shall be segregated in a separate interest bearing account, and such deposit shall be held by the applicable landlord in trust for the benefit of Tenant.
4.3      Additional Charges/Late Payments . Except for property taxes for which funds may be escrowed and paid out as described in Section 5.4 hereof and subject to Tenant’s rights of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13 , Tenant shall pay and discharge prior to delinquency all Impositions directly to the persons to whom such Impositions are owed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2 , if Tenant fails or refuses to pay any Impositions, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may arise or accrue for the non-payment or late payment of such items. The aforementioned amounts, liabilities, obligations, Impositions, fines, penalties, interest and costs and any and all other amounts which Tenant may owe to Landlord or any governmental agency pursuant to the terms of this Lease are referred to herein as “ Additional Charges .” The Additional Charges shall constitute rent hereunder. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any Encumbrance covering the Property. Accordingly, if any Rent (but as to Additional Charges, only those which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid on or before its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand, as an Additional Charge, a late charge (to the extent permitted by

21
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


law) equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount and, in such event, the parties hereby agree that such late charge will represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that there is a five (5) calendar day grace period for payment of Base Rent and that if payments are not made on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month, then the late charge shall be imposed. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies to which it may be entitled hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent payable to Landlord when due or within any applicable grace period thereafter, such Rent shall thereafter bear interest at the Overdue Rate until paid. Any payment by Tenant of Additional Charges to Landlord pursuant to any requirement of this Lease shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which such payment would otherwise be paid.
4.4      Triple Net Lease; No Set-off; Bankruptcy . It is the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that Tenant shall pay or discharge, as additional charges hereunder, any and all Impositions, charges, costs, interest, reimbursements, liabilities, expenses and obligations of any nature whatsoever in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property, excepting only (a) any payments for principal, interest, and premiums under any mortgage, security agreement, deed of trust or other Encumbrance Landlord may place upon all or any portion of the Property, (b) any costs actually incurred by Landlord for its own benefit with respect to the Property, such as costs for consultants or advisers retained by Landlord, provided that such costs (i) are not otherwise payable by Tenant hereunder, and (ii) do not, directly or indirectly, arise or grow out of or in connection with Tenant’s non-performance and/or non-compliance with any obligation, covenant, term or provision of this Lease and (c) those items specifically excluded from the definition of Impositions.
(a)      No set-off of Rent . Landlord shall receive all Rent (but as to Additional Charges, only those which are payable directly to Landlord) due hereunder and Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant in all events, without notice or demand and without any set-off (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease), counterclaim, abatement, suspension, deduction or defense whatsoever. In addition to the Rent, except as set forth in the foregoing paragraph, Tenant shall pay to the parties respectively entitled thereto all Impositions (subject to Tenant’s rights to contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13 ), insurance premiums (as provided in Article 14 ), operating charges, maintenance charges, construction costs and any other charges, costs, interest, reimbursements, liabilities, expenses and obligations which arise with respect to the Property or which otherwise may be contemplated under any provisions of this Lease during the Term hereof. All of such charges, costs, interest, reimbursements, liabilities, expenses and obligations shall constitute Additional Charges, and upon the failure of Tenant to pay any such costs, charges, interest, reimbursements, liabilities, expenses or obligations and if such failure is not cured within the applicable cure period described in Section 17.1 hereof, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies

22
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


provided in this Lease. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, except as herein expressly provided, this Lease shall not be terminable for any reason by Tenant. Any present or future law to the contrary shall not alter this agreement of the parties.
(b)      Bankruptcy . Except for exercising Tenant’s rights and prerogatives under Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or other applicable law, Tenant covenants and agrees that it will remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms, and that Tenant will not take any action to terminate, rescind, or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any assignee of Landlord in any such proceeding and notwithstanding any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of Landlord or any such assignee in any such proceeding or by any court in any such proceeding.
(1)      In the event that Tenant shall file a petition, or an order for relief is entered against Tenant, under Chapter 7, 9, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and Tenant or the trustee of Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease whether or not for the purpose of assigning the same, and subject to the applicable provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, such assumption and assignment may only be made if all of the terms and conditions of subsections (2) and (3) hereof are satisfied.
(2)      No election to assume this Lease shall be effective unless in writing and addressed to Landlord and unless all of the following conditions have been satisfied.
(A)      The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured or has provided Landlord “ adequate assurance ” (as defined hereunder) that:
(i)    within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption, the trustee (or debtor-in-possession) will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease; and
(ii)    within thirty (30) days from the date of such assumption, the trustee (or debtor-in possession) will cure all non-monetary defaults under this Lease (to the extent curable within said thirty (30) day period).
(B)      The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated, or has provided to Landlord adequate assurance that within ten (10) days from the date of assumption

23
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


Landlord will be compensated, for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord arising from the default of Tenant, the trustee, or the debtor-in possession, as recited in Landlord’s written statement of pecuniary loss sent to the trustee or debtor-in-possession.
(C)      The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with “ adequate assurance ” of the future performance of each of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease with respect to the Facilities; provided , however , that:
(i)    the trustee or debtor-in-possession shall also deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of Rent, an amount equal to three (3) months of the then current Base Rent; and
(ii)    the obligations imposed upon the trustee or debtor-in-possession shall continue with respect to Tenant after the completion of bankruptcy Proceedings.
(D)      Landlord has determined that the assumption of the Lease will not:
(i)    breach any provision in any agreement by which Landlord is bound relating to the Property or Landlord has obtained any consents or waivers required to ensure that no such breach occurs; or
(ii)    disrupt, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the reputation and profitability of the Property.
(3)      For purposes of this subsection 4.4(b)(3) , “ adequate assurance ” shall mean:
(i)    Landlord shall determine that the trustee or the debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets (other than by liens in favor of Landlord) after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that the trustee or debtor-in possession will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and
(ii)    an order shall have been entered segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord and/or there shall have been granted a valid and perfected first lien and

24
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


security interest in property of Tenant, trustee or debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of the Trustee or debtor-in-possession to cure the monetary and/or non-monetary defaults under this Lease within the time periods set forth above.
(4)      If the trustee or debtor-in-possession has assumed the Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of subsections (1) and (2) herein, for the purpose of assigning (or election to assign) Tenant’s interest under this Lease or the estate created thereby, to any other person, such interest or estate may be so assigned only if Landlord shall acknowledge in writing that the intended assignee has provided “ adequate assurance ” (which for purposes of this Section 4.4(b)(4) shall have the meaning set forth in this Section 4.4(b)(4) ) of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. For purposes of this subsection 4.4(b)(4) , adequate assurance of future performance shall mean that Landlord shall have ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(A)      The assignee has submitted a current financial statement audited by independent certified public accountants of recognized standing in the state of Washington or any State selected by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord which shows a NTA Net Worth and working capital in amounts determined to be sufficient by Landlord to assure the future performance by such assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease;
(B)      Landlord has obtained all consents or waivers from any third parties required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound to enable Landlord to permit such assignment;
(C)      The assignee has deposited six months of Base Rent as an adequate security deposit with Landlord; and
(D)      The assignee has demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that its intended use of the Property is consistent with the terms of this Lease and will not diminish the reputation of any Facility.

(5)      When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the trustee or debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Property or any portion thereof, such charges shall not be less than the then current Base Rent and any Additional Charges which may become due and other monetary obligations of Tenant.
(6)      Neither Tenant’s interest in the Lease, nor any lesser interest of Tenant herein, nor any estate of Tenant hereby created, shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other Person, or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant unless Landlord shall consent to such transfer in writing. No acceptance by Landlord of Rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to have waived, nor shall it waive the need to obtain Landlord’s consent or Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent.
(7)      Any Person to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease relating to the Facilities on or after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.
ARTICLE 5     

IMPOSITIONS
5.1      Payment of Impositions . Subject to Tenant’s rights of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13 , Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions due or becoming due from and after the Commencement Date as and when such Impositions become due and payable and directly to the parties to whom such Impositions are payable prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment; provided , however , Tenant shall not be in breach of its obligations under this Section 5.1 in the event of a breach by Landlord of its obligations under Section 5.2 . Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord prior to the date on which any such fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, copies of receipts or other reasonably satisfactory evidence of such payments. Such payments shall be made

26
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


directly to the authorities levying or to the other persons entitled to such Impositions, if possible. Subject to Tenant’s rights of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13 , Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become due to the authority or person entitled thereto. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the payor, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may pay the same (and shall pay any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments, and in such event shall pay such installments (subject to Tenant’s right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13 ) as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost is added thereto. Impositions for which escrowed funds are held by Landlord or its lender under Section 5.4 hereof shall be paid as provided in Section 5.4 and the timely payment by Tenant of any amount to be paid to Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, if applicable, under Section 5.4 shall be deemed to satisfy Tenant’s obligation to pay the Imposition for which funds are escrowed. Landlord shall, at its expense and to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all returns with respect to Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, sales, use, single business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem and franchise taxes, and with respect to taxes on Landlord’s capital stock. Tenant shall, at its expense, and to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports with respect to any Imposition as may be required by governmental agencies, authorities or other persons entitled to the receipt of the Impositions. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority or other persons entitled to the receipt of the Impositions with respect to any Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall be paid over to and retained by Tenant unless an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing, in which case such refund shall be paid over to and retained by Landlord to either be (i) applied by Landlord to the cost of curing such Event of Default with the balance, if any, thereafter remitted by Landlord to Tenant, or (ii) retained by Landlord and applied as provided in Article 17 if the Event of Default cannot be cured. Landlord and Tenant shall, each upon a request by the other, provide such information as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Property as may be reasonably necessary to prepare any required returns or reports. If any governmental agency or authority classifies any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide to the other party, promptly upon request, cost and depreciation records reasonably necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. If Landlord is legally required to file any personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of any assessment notices with respect thereto in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest with respect thereto if it so elects pursuant to Article 13 .
5.2      Notice of Impositions . Unless Tenant otherwise has knowledge of any such Imposition, Landlord shall be required to give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

27
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


however, Landlord’s failure to give any such Notice shall in no way diminish Tenant’s obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions, but Landlord shall be responsible for any fine, penalty or interest resulting from its failure to give such Notice and any default by Tenant hereunder shall be obviated for a reasonable time after Tenant receives Notice of any Imposition which it is obligated to pay.
5.3      Adjustment of Impositions . Impositions imposed with respect to the tax period during which the Term expires or terminates shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such expiration or termination, so that Tenant is only obligated to pay that portion of such Imposition(s) pertaining to the tax period within the Term. The obligation of Tenant to pay its prorated share of Impositions shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Likewise any refund of any Imposition paid with respect to any tax period within the Term which refund is received by Landlord during or after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be prorated and shared with Tenant. This Section 5.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
5.4      Escrow for Property Taxes . Upon the written demand of Landlord, if required by a Facility Mortgagee or from and after a breach by Tenant of its obligations with respect to the payment of property taxes, which breach is not cured within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall make monthly payments to Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, if so directed by Landlord, in escrow on the same day Base Rent is due, or such later date as directed by a Facility Mortgagee, in the amount of one twelfth of the annual ad valorem tax or such other amounts as required by a Facility Mortgagee, plus a one-time additional deposit of the amount accrued in the applicable tax year prior to the first such payment. The monthly tax escrow payment shall be adjusted from time to time to reflect changes in the tax rate or changes in the assessed value of the Land, Facility or personal property. The deposits shall not bear interest, shall not be required to be held by Landlord in trust or as an agent of Tenant and may be commingled with other assets of Landlord; provided , however , if at any time the landlord under this Lease is not an Approved Landlord, the foregoing deposits shall be segregated in a separate interest bearing account, and such deposit shall be held by the applicable landlord in trust for the benefit of Tenant. To the extent that sufficient funds exists in the tax escrow account, Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee shall release funds from the tax escrow account to pay to the tax authorities the installments of tax due on the Property or any part thereof. If there are not sufficient funds in the tax escrow account to meet an installment when due, upon receipt of a written request from Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee setting forth in reasonable detail the shortfall amount, the Tenant shall pay to Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee the shortfall in order for the full payment then due to be paid. In the event that Tenant pays any tax payment to the taxing authority for which funds are held in the tax escrow account without having made a prior request to Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee to release such escrowed funds for the purposes of making such payment, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such payment upon Landlord’s receipt of proof of full payment to the tax authority. In the event that Tenant pays any tax payment to the taxing authority for which funds are held in the tax escrow account after

28
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee has wrongfully failed to release such funds after receipt of a request from Tenant for the release thereof, then the amount of the tax payment made by Tenant shall reduce, and be deemed to be offset against, the Rent and any other amounts thereafter payable by to Landlord.
5.5      Utility Charges . Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges (including any connection charges and deposits) for all utilities, including, but not limited to, electricity, power, gas, oil and water, used at or for the Property during the Term.
5.6      Insurance Premiums . Upon the written demand of Landlord, if required by a Facility Mortgagee or from and after a breach by Tenant of its obligations with respect to the maintenance of the insurance required by the terms of this Lease, which breach is not cured within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall make, or cause to be made, monthly payments in escrow to Landlord or, if directed by Landlord, to the Facility Mortgagee, on the same day Base Rent is due in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual insurance premiums, plus a one-time additional deposit of the amount accrued in the applicable insurance year prior to the first such payment.
ARTICLE 6

Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which (i) may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law or otherwise to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender all or any portion of the Property or (ii) entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, in the case of either (i) or (ii) immediately above, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 5.4, Section 6.2 or as otherwise specifically provided by this Lease.
6.2      Rent Reduction .

All liability type policies (except professional liability and workers compensation) must name Landlord

43
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


as an “additional insured” through an endorsement on the policy. All property, loss of rental and business interruption type policies shall name, through a policy endorsement, Landlord as “loss payee” to the extent of Landlord’s insurable interest therein with respect to the property required to be insured by Tenant. Losses shall be payable to Landlord and/or Tenant as provided in Article 15 . In addition, the policies, as appropriate, shall name as an “additional insured” or “loss payee” the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement (“ Facility Mortgagee ”) securing any indebtedness or any other Encumbrance placed on the Facilities in accordance with the provisions of Article 23 (“ Facility Mortgage ”) by way of a standard form of mortgagee’s loss payable endorsement; provided that Landlord delivers the name and address of any such Facility Mortgagee to Tenant at least five (5) business days prior to the desired effective date of such endorsement. If required by any applicable Facility Mortgagee, any loss adjustment in excess of $500,000 shall require the written consent of the Facility Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease (but subject to the immediately following sentence), if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall be obligated to comply with insurance requirements imposed on the Property and set forth in any Encumbrance, provided such requirements are customary in the industry for properties similar to the Facilities in the same general areas in which the Facilities are located, are customarily required by institutional lenders, are commercially reasonable and consistent with industry standards at the applicable time, and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate with Tenant for the purpose of obtaining waivers from any Facility Mortgagee and otherwise securing any Facility Mortgagee’s agreement that such coverage is in compliance with a Facility Mortgagee’s requirements; provided , however , if, despite such efforts, such waivers are not obtained, then the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence will apply. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Landlord and, if requested, with the Facility Mortgagee(s). The policies shall insure against the following risks:
14.1.1    Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, extended coverage and other perils commonly known as “all risk or special perils”, earthquake (including earth movement), sinkhole and windstorm in an amount not less than the insurable value on a replacement cost basis (as defined below in Section 14.2 ) and including a building ordinance or law coverage endorsement;
14.1.2    Loss or damage by mechanical breakdown, electrical injury and explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, now or hereafter installed in the Facilities, on a “replacement cost basis”;

14.1.4    Loss of rental value in an amount not less than twelve (12) months’ Rent payable hereunder or business interruption in an amount not less than twelve (12) months of income and normal operating expenses including payroll and Rent payable hereunder with an endorsement extending the period of indemnity by at least ninety (90) days; and

44
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


14.1.5    Bodily injury or property damage under a policy of commercial general liability insurance (including broad form property damage and broad form contractual liability) and medical professional liability, with amounts not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the annual aggregate and including excess liability insurance with no lower policy limits than currently maintained, unless insurance market conditions make such limits commercially unreasonable to maintain and the Landlord and Tenant shall agree on limit amounts which are commercially reasonable and available in the marketplace at a cost per unit no greater than Tenant is currently paying for such coverage. Any combination of primary or umbrella/excess insurance may be utilized to provide the total required general and professional liability insurance limits set forth in this Section 14.1.5 .
14.2      Replacement Cost . The term “replacement cost” shall mean the actual replacement cost of the insured property from time to time with new materials and workmanship of like kind and quality and in compliance with current building codes. If Tenant has made improvements to the Facilities, Landlord may at Tenant’s expense have the replacement cost re-determined at any time after such improvements are made, regardless of when the replacement cost was last determined.
14.3      Additional Insurance . In addition to the insurance described above, Tenant shall maintain, or shall cause Manager and any replacement thereof to maintain, the statutory workers’ compensation coverage or comparable coverage, as required by the Legal Requirements for all Persons employed by Tenant, Manager and any replacement thereof, in the Facilities, or, in the alternative, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements.
14.4      Waiver of Subrogation . All insurance policies covering the Facilities and Tenant’s Personal Property including contents, fire and casualty insurance, and including all third party liability and workers compensation insurance to the extent not prohibited by law shall expressly permit waiver of rights of subrogation against the other party, its officers, directors, members, agents and employees. Each party hereby waives any claims it has against the other party, its officers, directors, members, agents and employees, to the extent such claim is covered or should be covered by the required insurance, including amounts under deductibles or self-insured retentions, even if the loss is caused by the sole negligence of such other party, its officers, directors, and members, agents or employees.
14.5      Policy Requirements . All of the policies of insurance referred to in this Article shall be written in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and by insurance companies with a policyholder rating of “A-” and a financial rating of “7” in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide. Additionally, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the insurance referred to in this Article shall be on an occurrence or claims-made basis. If Tenant obtains and maintains the general and medical professional liability insurance described in Section 14.1.5 above on a “claims-made” basis, Tenant shall provide continuous liability coverage for claims arising during the Term either by obtaining an endorsement providing for an extended reporting period

45
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


reasonably acceptable to Landlord in the event such policy is canceled or not renewed for any reason whatsoever, or by obtaining either (a) “tail” insurance coverage converting the policies to “occurrence” basis policies providing coverage for a period of at least three (3) years beyond the expiration of the Term, or (b) retroactive coverage back to the commencement date (which date shall be at least three (3) years prior to the expiration of the Term) for the policy in effect prior to the expiration of the Term and maintaining such coverage for a period of at least three (3) years beyond the expiration of the Term. All policies of insurance required herein shall be endorsed to be primary to all insurance available to Landlord, with Landlord’s insurance (if any) being excess, secondary and non-contributing. Tenant shall pay all of the premiums therefor, and deliver certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and with respect to any renewal policy, shall deliver evidence of renewal no more than five (5) days after the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the failure of Tenant either to effect such insurance in the names herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver certificates thereof to Landlord, at the times required and if Tenant fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, in which event the cost thereof, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be repayable to Landlord upon demand therefor. Each insurer shall agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Landlord, that it will give to Landlord thirty (30) days’ written notice before such insurer cancels or does not renew the policy or policies in question. Each policy shall have a deductible or deductibles, if any, which are no greater than those normally maintained for similar facilities in the State of similar size, financial condition, resident mix and number. Each party shall be responsible for funding deductibles or retentions under its own insurance policies. Tenant shall be responsible for funding all claims within self-insured retention, including claims applying to Landlord as an additional insured.
14.6      Blanket Policy . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14 , Tenant’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant or its Affiliates; provided , however , that the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be materially different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other requirements hereof by reason of the use of the blanket policy, and provided further that the requirements of this Article 14 are otherwise satisfied.
14.7      Changed circumstances . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (a) if any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Article 14 ceases to be available, Tenant shall not be in breach of this Lease provided Tenant promptly obtains such alternative insurance as is customary in the industry for properties similar to the Facilities in the same general areas in which the Facilities are located and consistent with industry standards at the applicable time and (b) if any insurance provider of Tenant fails to maintain the ratings required under Section

46
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


14.5 during the term of the then existing policy, Tenant shall not be in breach of this Lease provided Tenant promptly obtains replacement insurance from an insurance provider that satisfies the ratings required under Section 14.5 (provided Tenant shall continue to maintain the then existing policy until such time as the replacement policy is issued).
ARTICLE 15     

INSURANCE PROCEEDS
15.1      Handling of Insurance Proceeds . Except as otherwise provided herein, all proceeds from any policy of property damage insurance (excluding business interruption insurance), required by Article 14 of this Lease shall be paid to and held in trust by Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee; provided , however , that if the originally named Landlord is not then the Landlord hereunder, such payments shall be paid to and held by a reputable insurance trustee having substantial experience operating in such capacity, which trustee shall be mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant and shall hold and disburse such funds in accordance with written instructions mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant; and provided , further , that in the event the amount of such proceeds is less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is required by a Facility Mortgagee) and there is no monetary Event of Default then outstanding under this Lease, such proceeds shall be released by Landlord to Tenant to be applied in the manner set forth in this Article 15 . Provided that no Event of Default then exists, any such payments received by Landlord shall be made available by Landlord, or the trustee for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Property to which such proceeds relate, and shall be paid out by Landlord, (or such insurance trustee) from time to time in accordance with and subject to the provisions hereof for the cost of such reconstruction or repair, subject to reasonable and customary controls to ensure funds disbursed by Landlord (or such insurance trustee) are in fact used for such purpose. Tenant acknowledges that such insurance proceeds may not be used towards satisfaction of the minimum Capital Expenditures required pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Lease. Any unused portion shall be retained by Landlord upon completion of such repair and restoration to be held in reserve by Landlord and disbursed by Landlord to Tenant for further maintenance or repair of the Property as requested by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord; provided , however , any such unused insurance proceeds which remain at the time this Lease expires or is terminated shall be refunded to Tenant upon Tenant’s concurrent payment to Landlord of all amounts, if any, then due to Landlord from Tenant under other provisions of this Lease. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Landlord.
15.2      Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Covered by Insurance.

Facility thereby is rendered unsuitable for its Permitted Use(s) (taking into account all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the number of useable units and the amount of square footage reasonably available for use by Tenant and the type and amount of revenue lost), Tenant shall use insurance proceeds hereunder to restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The insurance proceeds shall be paid to Tenant or its designee in accordance with Section 15.1 from time to time as necessary to pay for the costs of such restoration.
(b)      If the cost of any such repair or restoration exceeds the amount of proceeds received by Landlord (or the insurance trustee described in Section 15.1 ) and paid over to Tenant from the insurance required under Article 14 , Tenant shall contribute any and all excess amounts necessary to repair or restore the Facility.
(c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either (i) more than seventy five percent (75%) of any Facility (by area or value) is substantially destroyed during the final twelve (12) months of the Term as a result of a fully insured (subject to the deductible provision of the insurance coverage) casualty (including but not limited to, the business interruption coverage described in Section 14.1.4 or (ii) regardless of the extent of such damage or destruction (A) the repair or reconstruction of the Facility is prohibited under applicable law, including, but not limited to, licensure law, zoning law and/or building code law or (B) the proceeds of insurance are paid to Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, and such proceeds are not promptly made available to Tenant by Landlord or a Facility Mortgagee, as applicable, in either event, Tenant may elect, by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date of such casualty, to terminate this Lease as to the affected Facility effective as of the date such notice of termination is given. If the Lease is so terminated, all insurance proceeds including the business interruption coverage required in Section 14.1.4 above, shall be paid to Landlord and the Base Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for such Facility. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to any deductible feature of the casualty insurance coverage.
15.3      Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Not Covered by Insurance . If during the Term a Facility is totally destroyed or materially damaged (i) from a risk not covered by insurance described in Article 14 or (ii) from a risk for which insurance coverage is voided due to any act or omission by Tenant, whether or not the Facility is thereby rendered unsuitable for its Permitted Use(s), Tenant shall restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Tenant shall continue to pay Rent, in the manner and at the times herein specified, including the full amounts of Base Rent and Additional Charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either (i) more than seventy five percent (75%) of the Facility (by area or value) is substantially destroyed during the final twelve (12) months of the Term as a result of a fully insured (subject to the deductible provision of the insurance coverage) casualty (including

48
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


but not limited to, the business interruption coverage described in Section 14.1.4 or (ii) regardless of the extent of such damage or destruction, the repair or reconstruction of the Facility is prohibited under applicable law, including, but not limited to, licensure law, zoning law and/or building code law, Tenant may elect, by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date of such casualty, to terminate this Lease as to the affected Facility effective as of the date such notice of termination is given and (A) the Base Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for such Facility, and (B) all insurance proceeds including the business interruption coverage required in Section 14.1.4 above, shall be paid to Tenant and (D) payment shall be made by Tenant to Landlord in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Facility and fee title to the Facility shall thereupon be transferred to Tenant free and clear of all Encumbrances and exceptions to title except those (I) created by Tenant or (II) in existence as of the date of this Lease.
15.4      Restoration of Capital Additions Paid by Tenant . All insurance proceeds payable solely by reason of any loss of or damage to any Capital Additions fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety shall be paid to Tenant and Tenant shall hold such insurance in trust to pay the cost of repairing or replacing damaged Capital Additions fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety; provided , however , that if the damaged Capital Additions fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety are deemed by Tenant to no longer be useful to Tenant’s operations, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair or replace them.
15.5      Facility Mortgagee Requirements . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, (a) Landlord shall only be obligated to make insurance proceeds resulting from any casualty available to Tenant to the extent the same are made available to Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Encumbrance and (b) in the event insurance proceeds are not made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Facilities or any portion thereof.
15.6      Waiver . Tenant hereby waives any rights at law or in equity and any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Property which Landlord is obligated to restore or may restore under any of the provisions of this Lease.

time) to any Condemnor, either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending.
(e)      Date of Taking ” means the first date the Condemnor has the right to immediate possession of the property being condemned.

16.3      Total Taking . If title to the fee of the whole of any Facility shall be the subject of any Condemnation by any Condemnor, this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the Date of Taking as to the affected Facility. If title to the fee of less than the whole of any Facility shall be so taken or condemned, which nevertheless renders the Facility unsuitable for its Permitted Use(s) (taking into account all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the number of useable units, the amount of square footage reasonably available for use by Tenant, and the type and amount of revenue lost), Tenant and Landlord each shall have the option by Notice to the other, to terminate this Lease as of the Date of Taking as to the affected Facility. In either of such events, the Base Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for such Facility.
16.4      Allocation of Award . In the event of a Taking as described in Section 16.3 , Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other in order to maximize the amount of the Award. Tenant shall have the right to seek damages or a separate condemnation award for Tenant’s loss of any Capital Additions paid for by Tenant, loss of business and relocation expenses and any such award shall be the sole property of Tenant. Subject to the rights of any Facility Mortgagee, the Award shall be allocated entirely to Landlord.
16.5      Partial Taking .

Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other to maximize the amount of any Award. Landlord

50
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW

Except to the extent Tenant may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of any order for the benefit of the Condemnor, Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants, conditions and obligations hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed as though such Taking or Condemnation had not occurred.

16.7      Facility Mortgagee Requirements . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, (a) Landlord shall only be obligated to make an Award resulting from any Condemnation available to Tenant to the extent the same are made available to Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Encumbrance and (b) in the event any Award is not made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Facilities or any portion thereof.

54
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW

(iii)      the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that could be reasonably avoided; and
(iv)      any other amount reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for the reasonable costs incurred in regaining possession and reletting the Property, including, but not limited to, brokerage fees and commissions, construction costs, rent concessions, and all legal costs and expenses.

No receipt of moneys by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or after the giving of any notice of the termination of this Lease shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice theretofore given to Tenant, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to enforce the payment of Rent payable by Tenant hereunder or thereafter falling due, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of a Facility by proper remedy, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, it being agreed that after the service of notice to terminate this Lease or the commencement of any suit or summary proceedings, or after a final order or judgment for the possession of a Facility, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due with respect to such Facility without in any manner affecting such notice, proceeding, order, suit or judgment, all such moneys collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupancy of such Facility or, at the election of Landlord, on account of Tenant’s liability hereunder.
17.3      Application of Funds . Any payments normally made to Tenant hereunder which are made to and received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease during the continuance of any Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order which Landlord may determine.

17.4      Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default . If an Event of Default occurs under this Lease and is not cured within the time provided under this Lease with respect to such Event of Default, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant, and without waiving any such Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter cure such Event of Default for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Landlord’s compliance with applicable law, including but not limited to, applicable licensure laws and the laws governing the confidentiality of resident and employee records, enter upon any portion of the Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s sole judgment, may be necessary or appropriate with respect thereto. No such entry by Landlord on any portion of the Property shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in each case to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord until paid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. The obligations of Tenant and rights of Landlord contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
17.5      Waiver . If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Article, Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession, (b) any right to trial by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Article, and (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting Tenant’s property from liability for rent or for debt.
ARTICLE 18     

CURE BY TENANT OF LANDLORD DEFAULTS
18.1      Landlord Default . Landlord shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease if Landlord shall fail to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on its part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Tenant (or such shorter time as may be necessary in order to cure or correct any condition, the presence of which substantially or materially interferes with Tenant’s conduct of its usual business for the Permitted Use(s) or to protect the health or welfare of any resident of the Property or to ensure the ongoing compliance of the Property with applicable law), unless such failure cannot be cured with due diligence within a period of thirty (30) days (or the above-described shorter time period), in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue if Landlord, within such thirty (30) days (or the above-described shorter time period), promptly commences its attempt to cure the failure and diligently attempts to complete the curing thereof. The time within which Landlord shall be obligated to cure any such failure shall also be subject to extension of time due to the occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay. If Landlord fails to commence such cure as provided

56
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


herein, Tenant may cure such default, and so long as Tenant continues to pay Rent, Tenant shall have the right (subject to Section 6.1 ), as Tenant’s sole remedy (except as otherwise provided in this Section 18.1 ), by separate and independent action to pursue any claim it may have against Landlord for monetary damages caused by Landlord’s failure to cure such default.
18.2      Mortgagee Cure . Should Landlord fail to observe or perform any of the covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, before taking any action, Tenant shall comply with the requirements of any subordination agreement to which it may then be a party with respect to the granting of notice and an opportunity to cure to any such Landlord default. All payments made, and all acts performed by such lenders in order to cure shall be effective to prevent a forfeiture of the rights of Landlord under this Lease and a termination of this Lease as if the payments and acts were performed by Landlord instead of by the lenders.
ARTICLE 19     

HOLDING OVER
If Tenant for any reason remains in possession of any portion of the Property after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of the Term, such possession shall be a tenancy at sufferance during which time Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rental each month one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the aggregate of (i) one-twelfth of the aggregate Base Rent for the Facilities payable with respect to the next 12 calendar months of the Term, (ii) all Additional Charges accruing during the month with respect to which such payment relates, and (iii) all other sums, if any, payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to the Facilities. During such period of month-to-month tenancy at sufferance, Tenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent mandated by law applicable to tenancies at sufferance, to continue its occupancy and use of the Facilities. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the continued occupancy by residents at the Facilities following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall not constitute holding over by Tenant which would trigger the foregoing terms of this Article 19.
ARTICLE 20     

LIABILITY OF PARTIES
20.1      Indemnification by Tenant . Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance provided for in Article 14 , and notwithstanding the policy limits of any such insurance, but subject to the waiver of the right of subrogation set forth in Section 14.4 hereof, Tenant shall indemnify,

57
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


defend, protect, save and hold Landlord and any successor person who is the owner or operator of the Facilities harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, fines, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord arising out of, connected with or incidental to the following and arising from events occurring during the Term:
(a)      any Hazardous Substance located in, on or under the Land or the Facilities;

(c)      any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or its agents of the Property, and any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third parties relating thereto to which Landlord is made a party;
(d)      any Impositions which are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease if the same are not paid when due or within any cure period provided for herein;
(e)      any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease when due or within any cure period provided for in this Lease;
(f)      the non-performance of any of the terms and provisions of any and all existing and future subleases of the Facilities to be performed by Tenant thereunder; and
(g)      any claims by state or federal governmental agencies for repayment of claims for reimbursement of costs incurred by Tenant in providing care or services to residents under government supported healthcare or government supported residential programs, provided Landlord promptly provides Tenant with written notice thereof and otherwise complies with the terms of this Section 20.1.
Any amounts payable by Tenant under this Section shall be paid within ten (10) days after Tenant’s liability therefor is determined by litigation or otherwise. If such amounts are not timely paid, they shall bear a late charge at the Overdue Rate from the date of such determination to the date paid. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord, or may, with Landlord’s prior written consent, compromise or

58
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


otherwise dispose of the same as Tenant sees fit. If Tenant shall have fully paid to Landlord any and all amount due under this Section 20.1 , Tenant shall be entitled to receive any insurance proceeds relating to such indemnified matter up to the amount paid by Tenant to Landlord. Nothing herein shall be construed as indemnifying Landlord against its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Tenant, at its expense, may contest, resist, and defend any such claim, action, or proceeding contemplated by Section 20.1(g), with counsel chosen by Tenant, in its discretion, in which event Tenant shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of such claim, action or proceeding. Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, compromise or otherwise dispose of any suit, action, or proceeding without obtaining Tenant’s prior consent. Landlord, at its election and sole cost and expense, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of any claim.
20.2      Indemnification by Landlord . Landlord shall indemnify, defend, save and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reason-able attorneys, fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Tenant arising out of, connected with or incidental to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; provided , however , that Tenant’s right to indemnification as provided herein shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Article 24 .
20.3      Continuing Liability . Tenant’s and Landlord’s liability for a breach of the provisions of this Article arising during the Term hereof shall survive any termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Property.

60

Upon any assignment or execution of any such management agreement, the assignee shall agree to assume all of the obligations of the Manager under such management agreement and the Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement, a copy of which assignment shall be delivered to Landlord within two (2) business days of the effective date of such assignment.

Tenant further agrees to implement as required by law appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to limit incidental disclosures of PHI, including disclosures to Landlord, its subcontractors and agents. The parties agree that neither the Landlord nor its contractors, subcontractors or agents shall need access to, nor shall they use or disclose, any PHI of Tenant. However, in the event PHI is disclosed by Tenant or its agents to Landlord, its contractors, subcontractors or agents, regardless as to whether the disclosure is inadvertent or otherwise, Landlord agrees to take reasonable steps to maintain, and to require its contractors, subcontractors and agents to maintain, the privacy and confidentiality of such PHI. The parties agree that the foregoing does not create, and is not intended to create, a “business associate” relationship between the parties as that term is defined by the Privacy Standards.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

NON COMPETITION PROVISIONS.

73
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


Tenant covenants and agrees that, for a period commencing on the Restricted Period Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) and expiring on the Restricted Period Termination Date (the “ Restricted Period ”), no Tenant Control Party will directly or indirectly: (a) develop, construct, finance or invest in the development, redevelopment, or construction of any Competing Facility (as hereinafter defined); (b) participate in the development, redevelopment, construction or financing of, any Competing Facility; (c) act as an officer, director, member, employee, principal, agent, representative, consultant, investor, owner, developer, partner, manager, or joint venturer in or with respect to the development, redevelopment, or construction of any Competing Facility; or (d) permit his, her, or its name to be used by, or in connection with, the development, redevelopment, or construction of any Competing Facility. For purposes of this Article 26 a “Competing Facility” shall be an independent living facility developed, redeveloped or constructed after the date of this Lease, that (a) competes in any direct or indirect way with, or is comparable in any way to, any Facility and (b) is located within a 10-mile radius of any Facility leased by the applicable Tenant Control Party, excluding (i) any independent living facility in respect of which construction or development or redevelopment has commenced as of the date of this Lease and (ii) any independent living facility constructed or developed or redeveloped, or the construction or development or redevelopment of which commenced, by or on behalf of any Successor Entity (as hereinafter defined) after the date of this Lease, but on or prior to the date such Person enters into a definitive agreement that, if consummated, would result in such Person becoming a Successor Entity. “ Restricted Period Effective Date ” shall mean, with respect to any Tenant, Guarantor or any Successor Entity, the date such Person became a party to this Lease or a Guaranty. “ Restricted Period Termination Date ” shall mean, with respect to any Tenant, Guarantor or any Successor Entity, the earlier of (i) the date such Person ceases to be a party to this Lease or a Guaranty following a Transfer that does not breach the terms of this Lease and (ii) the termination or expiration of this Lease. “ Successor Entity ” means any Person that is a successor to Tenant, Subtenant or Guarantor. The provisions of this Article 26 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the violation of this covenant not to compete by a Tenant Control Party, would cause irreparable harm to Landlord and Landlord would be entitled to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and restraining each Tenant Control Party, from any act prohibited by this Article 26 . Tenant and Landlord recognize and acknowledge that the area and time limitations contained in this Article 26 are reasonable. In addition, Tenant and Landlord recognize and acknowledge that the area and time limitations are properly required for the protection of the business interests of Landlord due to the status and reputation of Tenant in the industry. The parties agree that nothing in this Article 26 shall be construed as prohibiting Landlord from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any breach or threatened breach of this covenant not to compete, including the recovery of damages from Tenant or any other Person acting in concert with Tenant. Tenant agrees that, in the event that Tenant, or any subsidiary thereof, breaches this covenant not to compete, Tenant will pay reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing this covenant not to compete.

74
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


It is further agreed that if at any time it shall be determined that this covenant not to compete is unreasonable as to time or area, or both, by any court of competent jurisdiction, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce this covenant for such period of time and within such area as such court may determine to be reasonable.
ARTICLE 27     
CONFIDENTIALITY
27.1      Obligation of Confidence .

27.2      Permitted Disclosures . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
(a)    Tenant and Landlord, as applicable (the “ Disclosing Party ”) may disclose (i) such information to its respective Affiliates, counsel, accountants, lenders, underwriters, tax advisors and consultants as necessary to conduct the business of such Disclosing Party (or any of its Affiliates) in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices or (ii) any information which has otherwise become publicly available through no fault of the recipient party.
(b)    Each of Tenant and Landlord (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be able to disclose such Confidential Information as is, in the good faith judgment of such Person’s counsel, accountants or advisors, required or reasonably advisable to be disclosed by operation of law, rule, regulation or legal process, a governmental agency such as the Internal Revenue Service or Securities and Exchange Commission, or a stock exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, court order or requirement of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, in connection with the preparation for, or consummation of, a public offering of debt or equity by Landlord or an Affiliate thereof).
(c)    Each of Tenant (if Tenant is a Publicly Traded Company (as defined in the Guaranty)) and Landlord (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be entitled to disclose such Confidential Information as is, in the good faith judgment of the disclosing party’s counsel, accountants or advisors, required or reasonably advisable to be disclosed in connection with such party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) quarterly earnings results or financing activities, including the name of the non-disclosing party and the Facilities, the amount invested by Landlord in the Facilities and the rent payable under this Lease.

75
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW

(e)    The Disclosing Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Article 27 by such party’s officers, directors, agents, and employees but shall not be liable to the non-disclosing party (the “ Non-Disclosing Party ”) for any breach by any counsel, accountants, underwriters, advisors or consultants if the Disclosing Party enters into a confidential relationship or confidentiality arrangements with such Person and assigns to the Non-Disclosing Party the Disclosing Party’s rights under such confidentiality agreement, confidentiality relationship, or other obligations.
27.3      Confidential Information Defined . The term “Confidential Information” means terms and provisions of this Lease and all and any data, reports, forecasts, records, agreements, and other information furnished by a Non-Disclosing Party or by any of its representatives or advisors to the Disclosing Party that is material and proprietary, but shall not apply to any Confidential Information that (a) was known to the Disclosing Party prior to the Non-Disclosing Party’s disclosure of such Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party(unless the Disclosing Party’s knowledge was obtained confidentially or from a source that to the Disclosing Party’s knowledge was not permitted to disclose such Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party) or (b) becomes available to the Disclosing Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Non-Disclosing Party or any of its employees, agents, representatives, or advisors) who to the knowledge of the Disclosing Party is not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party by any legal, contractual, or fiduciary obligation.
27.4      Injunctive Relief . Each of Landlord and Tenant acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect against breach of the provisions of this Section 16, and hereby in advance agrees that the Non-Disclosing Party shall not be obligated to establish actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages in seeking an injunction. Such injunctive relief will not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach by a Disclosing Party of the provisions of this Section 16, but will be in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity to the Non-Disclosing Party.
27.5      Suspension Period . Each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to temporarily suspend the other party’s obligation to provide it with Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise for a specified period of time or for a period of time terminating upon the occurrence of a specified event, including notice from the Non-Disclosing Party (the “ Suspension Period ”). During the Suspension Period, the applicable party shall, if requested by the Non-Disclosing Party, deliver such Confidential Information to a third party in a confidential relationship with the Non-Disclosing Party. Upon expiration or termination of the Suspension Period, the applicable party will deliver to the Non-Disclosing Party within three business days all

76
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


Confidential Information that the Disclosing Party otherwise would have been required to deliver during the Suspension Period and shall immediately, once again, be subject to all of the information delivery requirements set forth in this Lease.
ARTICLE 28     
SEVERED LEASE
28.1      Severed Lease . Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the Term, by written notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to execute an amendment to this Lease whereby one or more Facilities (individually, a “ Transferred Facility ” or collectively, “ Transferred Facilities ”) are separated and removed from this Lease (a “ Lease Severance ”), and simultaneously to execute a substitute lease with respect to such Transferred Facility(ies), in which case:
(a)      Severed Lease Terms . Landlord and Tenant shall execute a new lease (the “ Severed Lease ”) for such Transferred Facility(ies), effective as of the date specified in Section 28.3 below (the “ Property Transfer Date ”), in the same form and substance as this Lease, but with the following changes thereto:
(i)      Minimum Rent . The initial Minimum Rent for such Transferred Facility(ies) shall be an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for the Transferred Facility(ies). Any rental escalations required under this Lease shall be made under the Severed Lease on the same date and in the same manner as is required under this Lease, in the full amount required as if such Transferred Facility(ies) had been under the Severed Lease.
(ii)      Liabilities and Obligations . The Severed Lease and this Lease (as amended) shall provide that the tenant under this Lease following the Lease Severance (A) shall continue to be responsible for the payment, performance and satisfaction of all duties, obligations and liabilities arising under this Lease, insofar as they relate to the Transferred Facility(ies), that were not paid, performed and satisfied in full prior to the Property Transfer Date and (B) shall not be responsible for the payment, performance or satisfaction of any duties, obligations and liabilities, insofar as they relate to the Transferred Facility(ies), arising after the Property Transfer Date.
(b)      Deletion of Provisions . At the election of Landlord, Section 25.20 of the Severed Lease pertaining to the REIT status of NHI shall be deleted.

77
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


(c)      Secured Amount; Capital Expenditures Reserve . Such Severed Lease shall contemplate both a security deposit and tax and insurance escrows and capital expenditures reserve in the same manner and fashion as required by this Lease with respect to the particular Facility. Such security deposit or capital expenditure reserve amounts under the Severed Lease shall initially be funded by Landlord out of the Cap Ex Account, tax and insurance escrow and the Security Deposit, as applicable, previously provided by Tenant. The Security Deposit under the Severed Lease shall be equal to an amount determined by multiplying (i) the Security Deposit under this Lease at the applicable time by (ii) a fraction determined by dividing the Allocated Facility Rent attributable to such Facility by the aggregate Base Rent.
(d)      Replacement Guaranties . Contemporaneously with the execution of any Severed Lease, Guarantor shall execute a new guaranty for each of this Lease and each Severed Lease, pursuant to which Guarantor shall separately guaranty Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (as amended) and each Severed Lease on the same terms and to the same extent as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to the then existing Guaranty, and thereupon, the then existing Guaranty with respect to this Lease shall be automatically be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect.
(e)      Collateral . Each tenant under a Severed Lease will execute any documentation reasonably necessary for Landlord to maintain its security interest in the collateral of such tenant as is currently secured under this Lease.
28.2      Amendments to this Lease . Upon execution of such Severed Lease, and effective as of the Property Transfer Date, this Lease shall be deemed to be amended as follows:
(a)      the Transferred Facility(ies) shall be excluded from the Facilities hereunder;
(b)      Base Rent hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Facility Rent for the Transferred Facility(ies); and
(c)      the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and any Security Deposit shall be amended and reduced, respectively, to delete and eliminate the Transferred Facility(ies) therefrom and reduce the Secured Deposit under this Lease as a result of the elimination of the Transferred Facility(ies) in accordance with the computation provided in Sections 28.1(c) above.
The foregoing amendments shall occur automatically and without the necessity of any further action by Landlord or Tenant, but, at either Landlord’s or Tenant’s election, the same shall be reflected in a formal amendment to this Lease, which amendment shall be promptly executed by Landlord and Tenant.

78
1845797.11-NYCSR07A - MSW


28.3      Effective Date . Any Severed Lease shall be effective on the date which is the earlier of: (i) the date the Severed Lease is fully executed and delivered by the parties thereto and (ii) the date specified in the written notice from Landlord to Tenant requiring a Severed Lease as described above, which date shall be no sooner than ten (10) days, nor later than sixty (60) days, after the date such notice is issued.
28.4      Other Undertakings . Landlord and Tenant shall take such actions and execute and deliver such documents, including without limitation the Severed Lease and an amendment to this Lease, as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectuate fully the provisions and intent of this Article 28.
28.5      Miscellaneous . Notwithstanding anything contained herein which may be construed to the contrary (a) Tenant’s compliance with Section 11.3 (Lease Coverage Ratio) shall be measured on a combined basis across this Lease and all other Severed Leases as if Landlord had not caused this Lease to be severed and (b) except as amended in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease (as amended following the creation of a Severed Lease) and any Severed Lease shall each be on the same terms as provided herein, regardless of whether the provisions thereof are expressed to relate to multiple Facilities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease to become effective as of December 23, 2013.

Exhibit 10.3

GUARANTY OF LEASE
GUARANTY OF LEASE (this “ Guaranty ”) made as of December 23, 2013, by Holiday AL Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ Guarantor ”), to NHI-REIT of Next House, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Myrtle Beach Retirement Residence LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (individually and collectively, “ Landlord ”).
R E C I T A L S
A. Landlord has been requested by NH Master Tenant LLC (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “ Tenant ”), to enter into a Master Lease dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “ Lease ”), whereby Landlord would lease to Tenant, and Tenant would rent from Landlord, certain premises at the locations set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto, as more particularly described in the Lease (the “ Premises ”).
B.      Guarantor is the indirect parent of Tenant, and will derive substantial economic benefit from the execution and delivery of the Lease.
C.      Guarantor acknowledges that Landlord would not enter into the Lease unless this Guaranty accompanied the execution and delivery of the Lease.
D.      Guarantor hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the execution and delivery of the Lease and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor covenants and agrees as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS . Defined terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease.
2.      COVENANTS OF GUARANTOR .
(a)      Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety: (i) the full and prompt payment of all Base Rent and Additional Charges and all other rent, sums and charges of every type and nature payable by Tenant under the Lease, whether due by acceleration or otherwise, including costs and expenses of collection (collectively, the “ Monetary Obligations ”), and (ii) the full, timely and complete performance of all covenants, terms, conditions, obligations, indemnities and agreements to be performed by Tenant under the Lease, including any indemnities or other obligations of Tenant that survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease (all of the obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii), are collectively referred to herein as the “ Obligations ”). If Tenant defaults under the Lease, Guarantor will, without notice or demand, promptly pay and perform all of the outstanding Obligations, and pay to Landlord, when and as due, all Monetary Obligations due and payable by Tenant under the Lease, together with all damages, costs and expenses to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to any or all of the Lease, this Guaranty and applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that Landlord shall not commence any litigation against Guarantor with respect to such Obligations unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(b)      Guarantor agrees with Landlord that (i) any action, suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever (an “ Action ”) commenced by Landlord against Guarantor to collect Base Rent and Additional Charges and any other rent, sums and charges due under the Lease for any month or months shall

1

1847301.06-NYCSR07A - MSW

Exhibit 10.3

not prejudice in any way Landlord’s rights to collect any such amounts due for any subsequent month or months throughout the Lease Term in any subsequent Action, (ii) Landlord may, at its option, without prior notice or demand, join Guarantor in any Action against Tenant in connection with or based upon either or both of the Lease and any of the Obligations, (iii) Landlord may seek and obtain recovery against Guarantor in an Action against Tenant or in any independent Action against Guarantor without Landlord first asserting, prosecuting, or exhausting any remedy or claim against Tenant or against any security of Tenant held by Landlord under the Lease, (iv) Landlord may (but shall not be required to) exercise its rights against each of Guarantor and Tenant concurrently, and (v) Guarantor will be conclusively bound by a judgment entered in any Action in favor of Landlord against Tenant, as if Guarantor were a party to such Action, irrespective of whether or not Guarantor is entered as a party or participates in such Action.
(c)      The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under the Lease, and there shall be no cure period therefor except as otherwise provided:
(i)      Guarantor fails to observe or perform any term, covenant, or other obligation of Guarantor set forth in Section 9 and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such failure from Landlord; provided, however, that any such failure shall not be deemed an Event of Default if Guarantor commences to cure same within ten (10) days after Guarantor receives notice thereof from Landlord, diligently prosecutes such cure and, in any event, cures such failure within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such failure from Landlord; and
(ii)      Guarantor’s failure to observe or comply with the provisions of Section 10 .
(d)      Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease by Tenant or Tenant’s trustee in bankruptcy, pursuant to bankruptcy law or any other law affecting creditors’ rights, Guarantor will, if Landlord so requests, assume all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under the Lease, to the same extent as if Guarantor was a party to such document and there had been no such rejection or disaffirmance; and Guarantor will confirm such assumption, in writing, at the request of Landlord upon or after such rejection or disaffirmance. Guarantor, upon such assumption, shall have all rights of Tenant under the Lease to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(e)      If Landlord proposes to grant a mortgage on, or refinance any mortgage encumbering the Premises or any portion thereof, Guarantor shall cooperate in the process, and shall permit Landlord and the proposed mortgagee to meet with Guarantor or, if applicable, officers of Guarantor and to discuss Guarantor’s business and finances. On request of Landlord, Guarantor agrees to provide any such prospective mortgagee the information to which Landlord is entitled hereunder, provided that if any such information is not publicly available, such nonpublic information shall be made available on a confidential basis. Guarantor agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver documents reasonably requested by the prospective mortgagee (such as a consent to the financing, without encumbering Guarantor’s or Tenant’s assets, a consent to a collateral assignment of the Lease and of this Guaranty, estoppel certificate, and a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement), in a form reasonably acceptable to Guarantor and customary for tenants and their guarantors to sign in connection with mortgage loans to landlords, so long as such documents are in form then customary among institutional lenders.
3.      GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL .
(a)      This Guaranty is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and of performance, and not of collection, and shall be enforceable against Guarantor without the necessity of the commencement by Landlord of any Action against Tenant, and without the necessity of any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance or nonobservance, or any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, or of any

2

1847301.06-NYCSR07A - MSW

Exhibit 10.3

other notice or demand to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled, all of which Guarantor hereby expressly waives in advance, other than as expressly required under the Lease. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of, and to the extent expressly set forth in this Guaranty may exceed, the obligations of Tenant.
(b)      This Guaranty shall apply notwithstanding any extension or renewal of the Lease, or any holdover following the expiration or termination of the Lease Term or any renewal or extension of the Lease Term.
(c)      This Guaranty is a continuing guarantee and will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding, and, except as set forth in Section 2(c) , the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any or all of the following: (i) any renewals, extensions, modifications, alterations or amendments of the Lease (regardless of whether Guarantor consented to or had notice of same); (ii) any releases or discharges of Tenant other than the full release and complete discharge of all of the Obligations; (iii) Landlord’s failure or delay to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any of its rights against Tenant; (iv) any extension of time that may be granted by Landlord to Tenant; (v) any assignment or transfer of all of any part of Tenant’s interest under the Lease (whether by Tenant, by operation of law, or otherwise); (vi) any subletting, concession, franchising, licensing or permitting of the Premises or any portion thereof; (vii) any changed or different use of the Premises (or any portion thereof); (viii) any other dealings or matters occurring between Landlord and Tenant; (ix) the taking by Landlord of any additional guarantees, or the receipt by Landlord of any collateral, from Tenant or any other persons or entities; (x) the release by Landlord of any other guarantor; (xi) Landlord’s release of any security provided under the Lease; (xii) Landlord’s failure to perfect any landlord’s lien or other lien or security interest available under applicable Legal Requirements; (xiii) any assumption by any person of any or all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, or Tenant’s assignment of any or all of its rights and interests under the Lease, (xiv) the power or authority or lack thereof of Tenant to execute, acknowledge or deliver the Lease; (xv) the existence, non-existence or lapse at any time of Tenant as a legal entity or the existence, non-existence or termination of any corporate, ownership, business or other relationship between Tenant and Guarantor; (xvi) any sale or assignment by Landlord of either or both of this Guaranty and the Lease (including, but not limited to, any direct or collateral assignment by Landlord to any mortgagee) in accordance with the terms of the Lease; (xvii) the solvency or lack of solvency of Tenant at any time or from time to time; or (xviii) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor (whether or not Guarantor shall have knowledge or notice thereof) other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor specifically agrees that (A) if Tenant’s obligations under the Lease are modified or amended with the express written consent of Landlord, this Guaranty shall extend to such obligations as so amended or modified without notice to, consideration to, or the consent of, Guarantor, and (B) this Guaranty shall be applicable to any obligations of Tenant arising in connection with a termination of the Lease, whether voluntary or otherwise. Guarantor hereby consents, prospectively, to Landlord’s taking or entering into any or all of the foregoing actions or omissions. For purposes of this Guaranty and the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder, “Tenant” shall be deemed to include any and all successors and assignees of the tenant under the Lease, as fully as if any of the same were the named Tenant under the Lease.
(d)      Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished or impaired by reason of the assertion or the failure to assert by Landlord against Tenant, of any of the rights or remedies reserved to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Lease or by relief of Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease or otherwise by (i) the release or discharge of Tenant in any state or federal creditors’ proceedings, receivership, bankruptcy or other proceeding; (ii) the impairment, limitation or modification

3

1847301.06-NYCSR07A - MSW

Exhibit 10.3

of the liability of Tenant or the estate of Tenant in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of Tenant’s liability under the Lease, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., as amended), or from other statute, or from the order of any court; or (iii) the rejection, disaffirmance or other termination of the Lease in any such proceeding. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time the payment of any amount due under the Lease or this Guaranty is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Landlord for any reason, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of Tenant, Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made, and, in such event, Guarantor shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to any such payment that has been rescinded or returned.
4.      WAIVERS OF GUARANTOR .
(a)      Without limitation of the foregoing, Guarantor waives (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, protest, demand and dishonor, presentment, and demands of any kind now or hereafter provided for by any statute or rule of law, (ii) notice of any actions taken by Landlord or Tenant under the Lease or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, (iii) notice of any and all defaults by Tenant in the payment of Base Rent and Additional Charges or other rent, charges or amounts, or of any other defaults by Tenant under the Lease, (iv) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations, omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section 4 , might constitute grounds for relieving Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, and (v) any requirement that Landlord protect, secure, perfect, insure or proceed against any security interest or lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against Tenant or any other person or entity (including any additional guarantor or Guarantor) or against any collateral.
(b)      GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH: THIS GUARANTY; THE LEASE; ANY LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION OF TENANT IN ANY MANNER RELATED TO THE PREMISES OR ANY PORTION THEREOF; ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE LEASE AND/OR THE PREMISES (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF); ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF TENANT, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES; OR ANY ASPECT OF THE USE OR OCCUPANCY OF, OR THE CONDUCT OF BUSINESS IN, ON OR FROM THE PREMISES (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF). GUARANTOR SHALL NOT IMPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIMS OR CLAIMS FOR SET-OFF, RECOUPMENT OR DEDUCTION OF RENT IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY LANDLORD AGAINST GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LEASE. GUARANTOR SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO MAKE, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY AND ALL DEFENSES AGAINST ANY CLAIM ASSERTED BY LANDLORD OR IN ANY SUIT OR ACTION INSTITUTED BY LANDLORD TO ENFORCE THIS GUARANTY OR THE LEASE EXCEPT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS. IN ADDITION, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, BOTH WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASE AND WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH ARE WAIVED BY TENANT UNDER THE LEASE, IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF ALL SUCH WAIVERS WERE FULLY RESTATED HEREIN. THE LIABILITY OF GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTY IS PRIMARY AND UNCONDITIONAL.
(c)      Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights to defenses arising by reason of (i) any “one-action” or “anti-deficiency” law or any other law that may prevent Landlord from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Guarantor before or after Landlord’s commencement or completion of any action against Tenant; (ii) ANY ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY LANDLORD (INCLUDING,

4

1847301.06-NYCSR07A - MSW

Exhibit 10.3

WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TERMINATION OF THE LEASE) THAT DESTROYS OR OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECTS GUARANTOR’S SUBROGATION RIGHTS OR GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS TO PROCEED AGAINST TENANT FOR REIMBURSEMENT; (iii) any disability, insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of authority or power, death, insanity, minority, dissolution, or other defense of Tenant, of any other guarantor (or any other Guarantor), or of any other person or entity, or by reason of the cessation of Tenant’s liability from any cause whatsoever, other than full and final payment in legal tender and performance of the Obligations; (iv) any right to claim discharge of any or all of the Obligations on the basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for the Obligations; (v) any change in the relationship between Guarantor and Tenant or any termination of such relationship; (vi) any irregularity, defect or unauthorized action by any or all of Landlord, Tenant, any other guarantor (or Guarantor) or surety, or any of their respective officers, directors or other agents in executing and delivering any instrument or agreements relating to the Obligations or in carrying out or attempting to carry out the terms of any such agreements; (vii) any assignment, endorsement or transfer, in whole or in part, of the Obligations, whether made with or without notice to or consent of Guarantor; (viii) if the recovery from Tenant or any other Person (including without limitation any other guarantor) becomes barred by any statute of limitations or is otherwise prevented; (ix) the benefits of any and all statutes, laws, rules or regulations applicable in the State of New York which may require the prior or concurrent joinder of any other party to any action on this Guaranty; (x) any release or other reduction of the Obligations arising as a result of the expansion, release, substitution, deletion, addition, or replacement (whether or not in accordance with the terms of the Lease) of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (xi) any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Landlord to take or prosecute any action for the collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection with any lien or right of security (including perfection thereof) existing or to exist in connection with, or as security for, any of the Obligations, it being the intention hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as a principal on the Obligations notwithstanding any act, omission or event that might, but for the provisions hereof, otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives all defenses of a surety to which it may be entitled by statute or otherwise.
5.      SUBORDINATION; SUBROGATION .
(a)      Guarantor subordinates to the Obligations (i) any present and future debts and obligations of Tenant to Guarantor (the “ Indebtedness ”), including: (A)  fees, reimbursement of expenses and other payments pursuant to any independent contractor arrangement; (B) principal and interest pursuant to any Indebtedness; (C) distributions payable to any partners, members or shareholders of Guarantor or Affiliates of Guarantor, solely to the extent such distributions are payable by using distributions received from Tenant; (D) lease payments pursuant to any leasing arrangement; (E) any management fees; and (F) all rights, liens and security interests of Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising, in any assets of the Tenant, and (ii) any liens or security interests securing payment of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of Indebtedness may be made (I) at any time provided no Event of Default is continuing and (II) during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted pursuant to the Lease. Guarantor shall have no right to possession of any assets of Tenant or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Guarantor agrees that Landlord shall be subrogated to Guarantor with respect to Guarantor’s claims against Tenant and Guarantor’s rights, liens and security interest, if any, in any of Tenant’s assets and proceeds thereof until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full.
(b)      After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and until such Event of Default is cured or during the continuance of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against Tenant and until such proceeding is dismissed, Guarantor shall not: (i) make any distributions or other payments to any partners, parent entities, or Affiliates of Guarantor (other than to Tenant), solely to

5

Exhibit 10.3

the extent such distributions are payable by using distributions received from Tenant; or (ii) ask for, sue for, demand, take or receive any payment, by setoff or in any other manner, including the receipt of a negotiable instrument, for all or any part of the Indebtedness owed by Tenant, or any successor or assign of Tenant, including a receiver, trustee or debtor in possession (the term “Tenant” shall include any such successor or assign of Tenant) until the Obligations have been paid in full; however, if Guarantor receives such a payment, Guarantor shall immediately deliver the payment to Landlord for credit against the then outstanding and matured balance of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, after an Event of Default has occurred and is outstanding, Guarantor may, in its sole discretion, make cash contributions to Tenant.
(c)      Guarantor shall not be subrogated, and hereby waives and disclaims any claim or right against Tenant by way of subrogation, exoneration, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise, to any of the rights of Landlord under the Lease or otherwise, or in the Premises (or any portion thereof), which may arise by any of the provisions of this Guaranty or by reason of the performance by Guarantor of any of its Obligations hereunder. Guarantor shall look solely to Tenant for any recoupment of any payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid and performed in full, Guarantor shall immediately deliver the payment to Landlord for credit against the then outstanding balance of the matured Obligations.
6.      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GUARANTOR . Guarantor represents and warrants that:

NHI Completes $491 Million Purchase of 25 Independent Living Facilities From Affiliate of Holiday Retirement

- Achieves better-than-expected pricing on new term loan tranche -

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - (December 23, 2013) National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE:NHI) announced today it has completed the previously announced purchase of 25 independent living facilities from Holiday Acquisition Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Holiday Retirement, for a purchase price of $491 million plus transaction costs. The facilities will continue to be operated by affiliates of Holiday Retirement pursuant to a new 17-year master lease.

On November 27, 2013, NHI received $282 million in net proceeds from a public offering of 5,175,000 shares of NHI's common stock. The acquisition was funded with cash and $250 million from a new term loan related to NHI's updated and amended senior unsecured bank credit facility. The new term loan provides for interest of 175 basis points over LIBOR and matures in June 2018, which is a reduction from the previously disclosed pricing of 225 basis points over LIBOR. Wells Fargo Bank, BMO Capital Markets, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and KeyBank National Association served as arrangers and agents to amend the existing credit facility and expand the syndicate of banks to provide the new term loan.

Justin Hutchens, NHI’s CEO and President, noted, “The acquisition of these 25 independent living communities provides substantial geographic, asset class and operator diversification on a very accretive basis. We were able to conservatively fund the acquisition with strong execution on the equity offering and better-than-expected pricing on our new term loan tranche. These transactions will be instrumental in supporting our growth in 2014.”
