Compliance with Program Obligations.
The parties to this Addendum intend that the Master Lease comply with all Program Obligations. The Master Tenant agrees to comply, and to cause each Operator to comply, with all applicable Program Obligations and the Loan Documents. The Master Tenant further agrees that the Master Lease and all Subleases will be part of the collateral pledged by Landlords to Lender and HUD as security for the Loan. The Master Tenant agrees that it will not take any action which would violate any applicable Program Obligations or any of the Loan Documents.

Landlords and Master Tenant agree that no provision of this Master Lease and/or the Subleases shall modify any obligation of Landlords or Master Tenant or Operator under the Loan Documents. Landlords and Master Tenant acknowledge that HUD’s acceptance of this Master Lease and/or any Subleases in connection with the closing of the Loans shall in no way constitute HUD’s consent to arrangements which are inconsistent with Program Obligations.

Modification. Neither the provisions of this Addendum nor the provisions of the Master Lease or any Sublease may be amended, except to increase the rent or other payments due to Lessor, without the express prior written consent of HUD and the Lender. None of the Healthcare Facilities may be released from the Master Lease, nor may the Master Lease, or any of the Subleases, be terminated without the express prior written consent of HUD and the Lender, and in accordance with the provisions of the Subordination Agreement/SNDA, as applicable.
Single, Indivisible Lease. The Master Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Healthcare Facilities and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The Healthcare Facilities constitute one economic unit, and the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based on a demise of all of the Healthcare Facilities to Master Tenant as a single, composite, inseparable transaction, and the Rent and all other provisions would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Master Lease for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly stated), all provisions of this Master Lease apply equally and uniformly to all of the Healthcare Facilities as one unit. An Event of Default under the Master Lease with respect to any Healthcare Facility is an Event of Default under the Master Lease as to all of the Healthcare Facilities. The parties intend that the provisions of this Master Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all of the Healthcare Facilities, and in particular but without limitation, that for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Master Lease under 11 U.S.C. § 365, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit, and that this Master Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Healthcare Facilities. No Healthcare Facility may be released from the Master Lease except with the prior written approval of HUD.
Cross-Default Guaranty of Subtenants. Master Tenant agrees to cause all Operators to execute a Cross-Default Guaranty of Subtenants (the “Cross-Default Guaranty”) in favor of Master Tenant, in the HUD-approved format, by which each Operator guarantees performance of all obligations of all other Operators under all of the Subleases. Master Tenant further agrees to assign and hereby assigns such Cross-Default Guaranty to the Lender.
Payments and Impounds. Landlords and Master Tenant each acknowledges and agrees that the Rents and other amounts payable pursuant to this Master Lease or any Sublease are, and shall at all times be, sized so as at to allow for proper maintenance of all of the Healthcare Facilities, and to enable each Landlord to meet its debt service obligations, and all related expenses, in connection with its Loan and the Healthcare Facilities. [INCLUDE EACH AS APPLICABLE]: Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rent, when due all premiums for (i) FHA mortgage insurance, (ii) liability insurance and full coverage property insurance on the Healthcare Facility, and (iii) all other insurance coverage required under the Loan Documents, and/or Program Obligations. Unless the Lender and the applicable Landlord agree otherwise in writing, the Master Tenant shall be responsible for funding all escrows and impounds for taxes, reserves for replacements, FHA mortgage insurance premiums, and other insurance premiums as may be required by the Lender and/or HUD.
Rental Payments. Subject to the rights of the Lender and to HUD consent thereto, Landlords reserve the right, as set forth herein, to adjust and reallocate the amount of Rent allocated to each Healthcare Facility covered by this Master Lease as set forth on Schedule 2 to this Addendum, so long as the total aggregate amount of Rent for all of the Healthcare Facilities shown thereon is not decreased. Landlords may increase the aggregate amount of Rent without the prior written consent of HUD or the Lender, so long as the Master Tenant agrees to the the increase. Landlords may adjust and reallocate the amounts of Rent for the purposes of maximizing reimbursements from the Medicaid or Medicare programs, and/or preventing a default under the Loan Documents, provided that Landlords obtain Master Tenant’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and so long as the total amount of Rent for all of the Healthcare Facilities in the aggregate shall not be decreased.
Compliance with HUD Insurance Requirements. The Master Tenant agrees to procure and maintain, and cause the Operators to procure and maintain, the insurance coverages required pursuant to the Loan Documents and Program Obligations. Annually, Master Tenant shall provide, or cause each Operator to provide, to Lender, a Certification of Compliance with HUD’s professional liability insurance requirements. Insurance proceeds and the proceeds of any condemnation award or other compensation paid by reason of a conveyance in lieu of the exercise of such power, with respect to a Healthcare Facility or any portion thereof shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and Program Obligations. The decision to repair, reconstruct, restore or replace the Healthcare Facility following a casualty or condemnation shall be subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and Program Obligations.
a. Master Tenant agrees that during the term of the Master Lease and/or Sublease, as applicable, Master Tenant shall not remove and shall not permit any Operator to remove, any FF&E from a Healthcare Facility, except in the ordinary course of business.
b. At the termination of the Master Lease and/or Sublease, as applicable, the Landlords shall have the right to purchase the Master Tenant’s and/or Operator’s personal property located at the applicable Healthcare Facility at book value. To the extent any of the personal property is subject to an equipment lease, the Landlords shall have the right to cause Master Tenant or Operators to pay in full all obligations under such equipment leases, or to assume some or all of such equipment leases at Landlords' sole cost and expense and at no additional liability to Master Tenant. Master Tenant shall sign and deliver or cause Operator to sign or deliver, as applicable, to Landlords any document that may be reasonably necessary to transfer any leased property back to the Landlords.
Provider Agreements. Master Tenant shall require that each Operator shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any necessary provider agreements with Medicaid, Medicare and other governmental third-party payors. Master Tenant shall ensure that each Operator agrees to furnish HUD and Lender with copies of all such provider agreements and any and all amendments promptly after execution, and additionally, promptly upon request.
Neither the Master Lease nor any sublease shall be assigned or subleased in whole or in part (including any transfer of title or right to possession and control of any Healthcare Facility, or of any right to collect fees or Rents), without the prior written approval of HUD. The prior written approval of HUD shall be required for (a) any change in or transfer of the management, operation, or control of any of the Healthcare Facilities or (b) any change in the ownership of the Master Tenant that requires HUD approval under HUD’s Program Obligations. Landlords and Master Tenant acknowledge that any proposed assignee or sublessee will be required to execute, as applicable, a Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement or Operator Regulatory Agreement and a Master Tenant Security Agreement or Operator Security Agreement, each in form and substance satisfactory to HUD, as a prerequisite to any such approval. Any assignment or subletting of any Healthcare Facility made without such prior approval shall be null and void.
Master Tenant acknowledges that each Landlord is assigning the Master Lease to the Lender, to further secure that Landlord’s obligations to Lender under the applicable Loan Documents. Master Tenant acknowledges that Lender is authorized to exercise all rights and remedies available to Landlord as Lender may determine are reasonably necessary to cure a default by Landlord under any Loan Documents.
HUD/FHA Not Subject to Indemnification Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision or term contained in this Master Lease, in the event of an assignment of the Master Lease to HUD or FHA, neither HUD nor FHA shall have any indemnification obligations under this Master Lease or any of the Subleases. In addition, any payment obligations of HUD or FHA pursuant to this Master Lease shall be limited to actual amounts received by HUD or FHA, and otherwise not prohibited by applicable law or regulation, including without limitation, the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341 et seq.
Notices to Lender and HUD of Default by Landlord. Master Tenant and Landlords agree to copy Lender and HUD on all notices of default. Such copies shall be provided to Lender and HUD at the same time and in the same manner as provided by Master Tenant or Landlords to the other party. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure (or cause to be cured) any default by Landlords under this Master Lease. For the purpose of effecting such cure, Master Tenant grants the Lender such period of time as may be reasonable to enable Lender to cure (or cause to be cured) any default, in addition to the time given to Landlords to cure the default. In the event of any act or omission of Landlords which would give Master Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Master Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Master Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Lender and HUD, and (ii) unless such act or omission shall be one which is not capable of being remedied by Landlords or Lender within a reasonable period of time, until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled under the Loan Documents in connection therewith, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlords would be entitled under this Master Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy).
Transfer of Operations. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Master Lease for any reason whatsoever, the Master Lease shall become and be construed as an absolute assignment for purposes of vesting in Landlords (or Landlords’ designees) all of Master Tenant's right, title, and interest in and to the following, to the extent assignable by law: (A) the licenses, any Medicare or Medicaid provider agreements and any CON, (B) all documents, charts, personnel records, patient records, and other documents relating to the Healthcare Facilities or operations at the Healthcare Facilities, (C) all existing agreements with residents of the Healthcare Facilities, and any guarantors of such agreements, and any and all patient trust fund accounts and (D) all other assignable intangible property not enumerated above that is now or in the future used in connection with the operation of the Healthcare Facilities. Master Tenant shall sign and deliver to Landlords any documents that may be reasonably necessary to transfer the foregoing to Landlords.
Master Tenant and Operator Regulatory Agreements; Master Tenant and Operator Security Agreements. At the time of the closing of each Loan, the Master Tenant agrees to execute a Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement and a Master Tenant Security Agreement, and to cause each Operator to execute the applicable Operator Regulatory Agreement and the applicable Operator Security Agreement, and other applicable documents evidencing the Lender’s security interest in the collateral of the Master Tenant and each Operator. The Master Tenant agrees to comply with its obligations under the Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement and the Master Tenant Security Agreement, and agrees that a default by the Master Tenant under the Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement or Master Tenant Security Agreement shall be deemed to be a default of this Master Lease. Therefore, pursuant to Program Obligations and the terms of the Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement, upon any event of default of the Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement or any event of default of any Operator Regulatory Agreement relating to any Healthcare Facility, upon the completion of any applicable notice and cure periods, Landlords shall immediately upon written request from HUD terminate this Master Lease without any penalty to Landlords.
