STUDY SESSION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Shawn Lewis
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
DATE: March 18, 2024
SUBJECT: Denver Fire Update
DESCRIPTION:
A report from Denver Fire regarding fire services in Englewood.
RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
2015: Englewood City Council approves a 20-year agreement with the City of Denver to
provide fire and ambulance services in Englewood.
SUMMARY:
Denver Fire provides fire suppression services to the City of Englewood by contract. This
update is at the request of the City Council and will cover calls and response times, strengths
and successes, challenges, threats, opportunities, and time for City Council to ask questions.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Englewood entered into the Denver Fire contract in 2015 as pension liabilities and
costs of operating a standalone fire service continued to increase. At the time, the contract was
estimated to save Englewood $17,855,406 (see attached 2015 Council Communication
analysis), while providing residents in the northeast and far west portions of the city with better
fire protection as a result of proximity of existing Denver fire stations to those portions of the city.
Denver Fire has provided services to the City of Englewood with very few complaints or
concerns from residents save a period during the "Great Resignation" in 2022 when the Denver
911 center was short-staffed and some residents complained of unacceptable wait times as
calls were transferred from Englewood 911 to Denver 911.
A detailed presentation is attached outlining response times, strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats as requested by Council and the City Manager's Office.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Denver Fire Services are a fixed cost annually with an automatic 3% increase.

CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
Public Safety Services: Invest in high-quality policing and other public safety services

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: May 4, 2015 Agenda Item: Subject: Intergovernmental Agreement
11 a ii for Fire/EMS service with Denver Fire
Initiated By: City Manager's Office Staff Source: Eric A. Keck, City Manager
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The issue of how to provide Fire and EMS service within the community in the most responsible, efficacious,
and financially sustainable manner has been studied by the Englewood City Council for several years. The
Council has entertained a variety of different alternatives including a proposed merger with the City of
Littleton and the Littleton Fire/Rescue Department. In early 2014, the City Council obtained a proposal from
the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority as well as a proposal from Denver Fire.
In September of 2014, the City Council held a number of study sessions to examine the topic of fire service
delivery. Comment from the membership of the Englewood Fire/Rescue Department was also heard on
September 8, 2014 wherein the Department enunciated concerns with safety, training, and the condition of
capital equipment. Furthermore, the Englewood Fire/Rescue Department advocated to the City Council to
contract with South Metro. It was also during this meeting that the City Council authorized former Fire
•
Chief Andy Marsh to examine how to enhance the safety, training and communications within the
department. On January 14, 2015, the City Manager presented an analysis of alternatives and
recommendation to contract with Denver Fire at a special study session. Council subsequently took public
comment on the recommendation at their meetings on January 20 and February 2, 2015. A final summary
presentation was made by the City Manager on February 9, 2015 with the City Council providing consensus
direction to move forward with the negotiation of an agreement on February 17, 2015.
The goal of the City Council with this particular matter is to ensure a fiscally viable, high quality fire
suppression and EMS provision agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends Council approve a bill for an ordinance authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement for
Fire/EMS service with the City and County of Denver.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
City staff have analyzed a number of different alternative service provision vehicles for Fire and EMS service
in Englewood. These range from maintaining a standalone fire department, contracting fire and EMS service,
and the formulation of an authority. It was determined that contracting fire and EMS service would be the
most cost efficacious manner of moving forward as well helping to ensure that the community was best
served in the safest way possible.
When all of the options were analyzed with the idea that the City should look for an option that will not add
to the expenses of the City as well as provide quality service, a contract with Denver Fire emerged as the
best option. A synopsis of the costs of the options appears below.

IGA Highlights:
The version of the IGA that is before the City Council is slightly different than the original draft. This is due to
the fact that the Denver Attorney's Office put together a new form. However, the agreement largely
contains all of the points as before including language stipulating the two paramedic units with two
paramedics to be housed in the fire stations; a response time matrix for both fire and EMS; the stipulation
that all emergent trauma patients be taken to Swedish Hospital; the stipulation that Denver Fire will provide
the City of Englewood with a call analysis data report each month; the inclusion of a process for dealing with
disputes including both fire and EMS personnel present to resolve any such matters should they arise; the
inclusion of language concerning the adoption of the 2015 International Codes with Englewood adopting
amendments of these codes over time; the rolling stock to be transferred has now been incorporated into the
agreement rather than referenced by an exhibit; and an overall increase in the cost of the agreement over the
20 year period from what was originally drafted. Denver has suggested 3% annual increases rather than 1 %.
Key exclusions from the previous draft agreement include the removal of the C itizen Initiative Petition
language as Denver is opposed to such language and the removal of the section referencing the Denver Civil
Service Commission requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of a contract for Fire and EMS services with the City and County of Denver will be
$3,091,667 for the remainder of 2015 beginning on June 1,201 5. The proposal contemplates a 2% increase
for 2016 and then a 3% increase annually beginning in 2017. The total operational expenditure for fire
services over the life of the Denver contract would be $150,56 1,244 versus $259,642,412 were the City of
Englewood to retain a standalone fire department. This does not include any capi tal costs for the updating or
replacement of facilities which Englewood will continue to own. Exhibit E attached hereto contains the
payment schedule.

April 24, 2015
The Englewood City Council reviewed and discussed the draft IGA (attached) at the April 6, 2015
Study Session. Council directed the City Manager and staff to proceed with negotiations. Denver
re-drafted the IGA and sent a counterproposal which is attached to the Ordinance. Denver's
proposal addresses a number of previously unclarified issues but also differs from the April 611'
version in several significant ways:
Over the 20 year term of the IGA payment for Denver's services is $156,847,504 an increase of
$49,881,844 over the April 6, 2015 draft.
Paragraph 18 concerning the Citizen Initiative Petition has been deleted. Denver's position is that
the contract must continue for the entire term even if the Englewood Charter is changed by the voters
to require a standalone department.
4 firefighters per vehicle is addressed in paragraph 3 but that may be modified in Denver's sole
discretion.
4 minute response times for fire and ambulance are addressed in the Denver Response Standard.
That standard may be modified in Denver's sole discretion.
Paragraph 5 shows that 2 ambulances with 2 paramedics will be based at Englewood fire stations.
Paragraph 14.3 sets forth a process for the Englewood City Manager to review response times. But
as noted above, the response times are at the sole discretion of the Denver Fire Chief.
Paragraph 5 shows Swedish as the primary hospital.
Paragraph 5 does not specifically list Denver Health as the provider of medical services. Denver Fire
may decide to change the medical provider after consulting Englewood.
The new IGA requires the adoption of the 2015 international fire and building codes. Further
updates are mandated within 6 months of Denver's adopting new codes. Englewood is prohibited
from adopting laws or amendments inconsistent with Denver's various codes without obtaining
Denver's written permission. Further, Exhibit B appears to be the original Glendale procedure
without the changes requested from our Community Development Department (building codes} and
Fire Department. This may delay r eview times for Englewood residents and businesses.
Paragraph 9 shows six additional vehicles going to Denver than the Exhibit E attached to the April 6th
!GA draft.
Page 112 of 329
Negotiated language concerning arson and fire investigation was not incorporated. The paragraph
concerning coordination with the Englewood Police is now addressed under paragraph 6.1.
Paragraph 8 eliminates the attachment from the Denver Civil Service Commission and sets forth new
criteria. Englewood coordinated with FPPA to insert language protecting the firefighters ongoing
pension qualifications. Such language has been deleted. Further, the language addressing
Englewood's determination to pay severance has been removed.
Utilities are now being paid by Englewood.
Denver has agreed to mutual aid but not automatic aid. Automatic aid agreements are being
discontinued in Council Bill 20, 2015.
15.2 Force Majeure has been added to provide a defense to Denver for strikes and work
stoppages.

Accreditation
The Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) has completed a review and appraisal of the Denver Fire
Department based on the tenth edition of the accreditation model. The commission’s goals are to promote
organizational self-improvement and award accreditation status to recognize good performance. The peer assessment
team’s objectives were to validate the agency’s self-assessment study, identify and make recommendations for
improvement, issue a report of findings, and conclude if the agency is eligible for an award of accreditation.
The Denver Fire Department demonstrated that its self-study accreditation manual, community risk
assessment/standards of cover (CRA/SOC), and strategic plan met all core competencies and criteria. Therefore, the
peer assessment team recommends accredited agency status for the Denver Fire Department from the Commission
on Fire Accreditation International.
The peer assessment team had meetings with the executive director of safety (EDOS), the senior staff, and the
president and secretary-treasurer of the firefighters’ local. Individually and collectively, they expressed a long-standing
interest in the process. There is clearly a commitment to continue to follow and support the implementation of
identified opportunities for improvement. It can be anticipated that all representatives will be supporters and
network participants as the full benefits of going through the self-assessment process are realized and built on in the
future.

The Insurance Services Office (ISO), is an independent, for-profit organization. The ISO scores fire departments on how they
are doing against its organization’s standards to determine property insurance costs.
To determine ISO rating for fire departments, the organization conducts a field survey and scores a department across four key
areas using the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS).
These areas include Emergency Communication Systems (10 points); Fire Departments, covering personnel, capabilities,
training, equipment, etc. (50 points); Water Supply (40 points); and Community Risk Reduction (extra credit of up to 5.5
points).
It uses a 100-point scale (with the potential of 105.5 with the Community Risk Reduction extra credit), and the more points you
score, the better your ISO fire rating.
Badge of honor
Ultimately, a lower score reflects well on a fire department. Like accreditation, a good ISO fire rating demonstrates a
commitment to excellence as verified by a third-party reviewal.
Plus, it really is an honor to be able to claim an ISO Fire Protection Class 1 rating. Everyone works hard as a team, so to come
out on top with a good ISO score is something that you want to shout from the top of your fire truck.
This coveted ISO rating clearly demonstrates that you are doing what you need to be doing to help protect your community.
After analyzing the data it collects, the ISO assigns a Public Protection Classification (PPC) on a scale from 1 to 10. The higher
the ISO fire protection class (with Class 1 being the best), the “better” the department –at least in the eyes of the ISO.
The score reflects how prepared a community is for fires.Denver Fire received an ISO rating of 1, the highest rating available.

Coordination with
EPD & FMO
DFD works closely with the Englewood Fire
Marshalls Office to identify and pre-plan certain
target hazards within the city of Englewood.
• Meadow Gold Dairies, 1325 W. Oxford Ave.
• General Shale Brick, 1845 W. Dartmouth Ave.
• South Metro Transfer Station, 2400 W. Union
Ave.
DFD has also been actively working with
Englewood PD Swat Team on a response plan and
Standard Operating Guideline (SOG) that
specifically calls for Truck 38 to respond to any
requests for Fire Department resources.
Updates are sent daily to the Englewood Fire
Marshall’s office of any significant incidents that
occurred in the City the day before. All DFD
District 7 Chiefs have direct contact with the Fire
Marshall’s office and update him as needed on
incidents.

SCBAs & New Hydraulic Tools
SCBA’s
The Denver Fire Department transitioned to the 3M SCOTT Air-Pak X3
Pro SCBA in July 2023. The X3 Pro SCBA combines advanced material
selection for improved water repellency and has a removeable harness
for decontamination and serviceability. The Air-Paks are state of the art
and meet or exceed all applicable NFPA standards. The new SCBA’s,
which were placed on every DFD apparatus, were acquired through the
Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) Program. We were awarded a
grant for $2.5 million with a $500k match from the City.
Engine 37 and Truck 38 both have the new SCOTT X3 Pro SCBA’s.
Holmatro Battery Powered Hydraulic Tools
Denver Fire Department was the recipient of a $900,000 grant that
afforded the department the opportunity to upgrade its hydraulic
extrication equipment to a full battery powered extrication compliment
of spreaders, cutters, and rams, which were placed on all Truck/Tower
and Heavy Rescue Companies (Truck 38 has the new tool setup).
Battery powered technology has changed the way firefighters are able
to perform full extrication maneuvers on motor vehicle incidents and
allows firefighters to be more versatile, using tools that are not
required to be powered by a gasoline engine and connected with
hydraulic lines, while still providing equal or greater tool operational
capabilities.

Apparatus Gap Map
The DFD Dispatch Team and Shift Commander group
utilize a real-time, dynamic software application that
provides coverage monitoring, alerting and move-up
recommendations. The system provides emergency
dispatchers with automated, optimal move-up
recommendations while simultaneously allowing them
to continuously monitor and identify any gaps in
coverage.
Connecting with CAD in real-time, the ‘Gap Map’
identifies holes in coverage by tracking each unit’s
status, location, and incident assignment. The software
then instantaneously recommends optimal, practical,
and automated unit relocations, or “move-ups”, that
reflect the department’s custom coverage policies.

Fire Apparatus Exhaust Systems
Much of the existing exhaust system at Station 37 will
be kept in place, but the duct work will need replaced
as well as boot/hose connector replacement.
Station 38 will need a complete system replacement

Good evening fellow Englewood Residents,
I am here tonight to continue to implore any Englewood citizens who may be listening, to
please help encourage this City Council instruct their employed City Manager to invest in the
installation of 25-year rain event capacity main trunk line pipe from S. Clarkson to Cherokee
in order to protect the life health and property of the many vulnerable residents living in the
Upstream Half of the South Englewood Basin from the inevitable next Life Health and
Property devastation from a Major Rain event.
The most recent 2022 MHFD/Dewberry Major Drainage-way Plan made a point to take into
account all of the Ulteig Planned Hydraulic Improvements both installed and yet to be
installed in their Capacity analysis of the system.
And even with Ulteig in the calculation the Storm Water pipe Infrastructure Capacity in the
upstream half of the South Englewood Basin REMAINS identified as a 2-year rain event
capacity storm water infrastructure system.
To help understand what that means, I want to share a few more basic Facts about storm Water
and storm water infrastructure capacity.
1) Our existing storm water infrastructure capacity was intentionally built in 1973 to handle
only the peak flow of a regular average 2-year rain event.
2) The normal regular average rainfall event we are all familiar with and experience yearly
is identified as 2-year rain event.
3) A “rain event” is identified by the amount of water in inches that falls within the first hour
of that event.
4) According to the latest 2022 MHFD Study:
• the standard average 2-year rain event drops 0.82 inches in one hour.
5) The Major Rain Event that hit the upstream half of the South Englewood Basin on 7/24/18
dropped 1.95 inches of rain in one hour and overwhelmed our 0.82 inches in one hour 2-year
rain event CAPACITY system - resulting in that Deadly Devastating flash flood.
6) the Ulteig Plan leaves the existing 2-year rain event capacity main trunk line pipe in place.
The main trunk line is the work horse of the system. And it will remain only a 0.82 inches in
one hour 2-year rain event capacity.
Page 141 of 329
7) Ulteig, with the exception of some enlarged inlets, primarily adds hydraulic improvements
and additional ancillary pipes into and around the existing Ancillary pipe systems.
City Action:
1) In 2019 Council committed to replacing the existing 0.82 inches in one hour 2-year rain
event capacity main trunk line pipe system with a 1.66 inches in one hour 25-year rain event
capacity main trunk line pipe system in the upstream half of the South Englewood Basin.
At an estimated Cost of $7.6 million to $8.2 Million.
- 25-year rain event capacity pipe are the largest pipe that can fit into our streets.
2) in 2020 The new CM didn’t want to spend the money to replace the still existing aged 2-
year rain event capacity main trunk line pipe with 25-year rain event capacity main trunk line
pipe.
3) And on June 21 2021 the City Council adopted CM’s and Staff’s the $2.2 million Ulteig
Plan declaring it also provides 25-year rain event capacity protection for those families. I will
take a close look at the Ulteig Plan next meeting.
4) Ulteig construction began on July 12 2021, and Phase 2 on February 28 2022. And false
claims of 25-year rain event protection in place were made before the Plan was Completed.
5) On 6/22/23 Public Works Director Rachael posted that the City had been hit with another
1.95 inches in one hour Major 25 to 50-year rain event on 6/22/23.
6) Both Director Rachel and the CM Lewis declared that their Ulteig Hydraulic installations
into the existing 2-year rain event capacity system had kept that Major Rain Event from
inflicting anything more than one sinkhole downstream and just minor flooding upstream.
Yet Contrary to the above claims:
1) Based on MHFD rain gage data analysis the 2-year rain event capacity system was hit with
a 1.31 inches in one hour 10-year rain event on 6/22/23 which still resulted in a sinkhole
downstream and the minor flooding upstream.
2) And based on PUBLIC WORK’s own posting on their Public Works Department platform
within the City of Englewood‘s Website:
• Just a little over 1/2 of the Ultieg Planned hydraulic improvements have actually been
installed into the existing 2-year rain event capacity system.
• And the remaining planned installations are on hold until 2025, due to discovering existing
waist water Sewer lines where they planned to install the rest of the hydraulic improvements.
And Yet according to Staff and Council apparently just over 1/2 of the $2.2 million Ultieg
Plan stopped a 1.95 inches in one hour Major 25 to 50-year rain event on 6/22/23.
That false scenario was presented as fact to the Citizens on the Website on 6/22/23, and again
by CM at a subsequent Council Meeting.
I look forward to any challenge from staff or Council regarding my claims.

And I will be back next Public Council meeting to share more facts.
Thank you,

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Melissa Englund
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
DATE: March 18, 2024
SUBJECT:
Intergovernmental Agreement with Adams County Health
Department for the Colorado Local Entity Air Network (CLEAN)
Program
DESCRIPTION:
Intergovernmental Agreement with Adams County Health Department for the Colorado Local
Entity Air Network (CLEAN) Program
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends City Council approve the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with
Adams County Health Department to continue the city's participation in the Colorado Local
Entity Air Network (CLEAN).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Study Session on the development of a sustainability plan and program (February 22,
2021)
Approval, by motion, of the City of Englewood Sustainability Plan (April 5, 2021)
SUMMARY:
Staff is looking to continue the partnership in the Colorado Local Entity Air Network (CLEAN)
through an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Adams County Health Department
(ACHD), the new backbone organization of the program after Tri-Cities Health Department
dissolved in 2022. Entering the IGA with ACHD also allows the city to be a sub-recipient of the
EPA funds ACHD was awarded via the EPA to expand the CLEAN program.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Englewood joined the Colorado Local Entity Air Network (CLEAN) (formerly Love My
Air) program back in 2022. This program is designed to raise awareness of air quality issues
and protect residents from harmful air pollutants through education. This program also provided
the City of Englewood with two air quality monitors, one at Cushing Park and one at the
Northwest Green Belt.
This program was originally run through the Tri-Cities Health Department. When the Tri-Cities
Health Department dissolved in 2022, Adams County Health Department (ACHD) took over as
the backbone organization of the program.
Page 144 of 329
In 2023, ACHD was awarded a $438,775 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to expand the CLEAN program. Since the City of Englewood is a member of CLEAN, the
city is able to receive up to $1,000 as a subrecipient to help advance air quality education and
outreach in the city.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff requests City Council approve of the IGA with Adams County Health Department in order
to access EPA funding provided to the county.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Approving the IGA allows Englewood to be a sub-recipient of the EPA funding granted to
Adams County Health Department to expand the CLEAN program. Englewood would use these
funds to advance air quality projects currently listed in the Strategic Plan.
CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
Participation in CLEAN helps accomplish or progress the following goals and projects in the
sustainability plan priority area within the Strategic Plan, either through the use of the air
sensors or through the collaborating efforts of the CLEAN cohort:
[GOAL] Air Quality: Improve public health outcomes through better air quality
[PROJECT] Monitor air quality through regional partners and use of technology
[PROJECT] Increase education and outreach around how to stay safe during bad air
quality days
[PROJECT] Investigate education and outreach around bad indoor air quality
identification and prevention
OUTREACH/COMMUNICATIONS:
Participation in the CLEAN program provides cohort learning with other municipalities in the
area. Fellow municipalities that are part of the CLEAN cohort are:
City of Sheridan
City of Northglenn
Commerce City
Adams County
Arapahoe County
Arapahoe Libraries
With Adams County Health Department receiving funding from the EPA to expand the program,
it is expected that more municipalities will join over the coming months and years.
To view the sensors, go to https://clean.lovemyair.com/. Residents can sign up for air quality
alerts to stay informed about when it is and isn't safe to recreate outdoors.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Pieter Van Ry
DEPARTMENT: Utilities
DATE: March 18, 2024
SUBJECT:
Resolution of Support for recognition agreement between
Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation and UC Health
DESCRIPTION:
The Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation (EMRF) Board of Directors is seeking Council
support to enter into a recognition agreement between EMRF and University of Colorado Health
(UC Health) and Highlands Ranch MP RK6, LLC (Developer).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve the proposed Resolution of Support for a recognition
agreement between EMRF and UC Health and the Developer.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
November 15, 2016 – City Council approved a Resolution of Support for the third
amendment to the lease agreement with option to purchase for 33.3 acres in PA81 with
Shea Properties d.b.a. Central Parks Highlands Ranch.
May 25, 2016 – City Council approved a Resolution of Support for the second
amendment to the lease agreement with option to purchase for 33.3 acres in PA81 with
Shea Properties d.b.a. Central Parks Highlands Ranch.
April 21, 2016 – City Council approved a Resolution of Support for the first amendment
to the lease agreement with option to purchase for 33.3 acres in PA81 with Shea
Properties d.b.a. Central Parks Highlands Ranch.
April 5, 2016 – City Council approved a Resolution of Support for a lease agreement
with option to purchase for 33.3 acres in PA81 with Shea Properties d.b.a. Central Parks
Highlands Ranch.
SUMMARY:
Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation has a long-term ground lease with UC Health
covering approximately 33 acres in Northwest Douglas County. UC Health intends to sublease
approximately 1 acre of the land under this ground lease to a developer to develop a medical
office building. This transaction is between UC Health and the developer of the medical office
building. A recognition agreement between EMRF and UC Health and the Developer will
provide that in the event UC Health were to default on the master lease, EMRF would recognize
the lease of the medical office building and, if necessary, would give a direct lease for the
medical office building on the same terms as the sublease.
ANALYSIS:
The master lease between UC Health and EMRF permits UC Health to execute a sublease;
however, the developer of the medical office building and its lender have requested EMRF enter
Page 166 of 329
into a recognition agreement with UC Health and the Developer. This proposed recognition
agreement is designed to be effective only in the event that UC Health defaults on the master
lease. There is no change to the master lease with UC Health. If the recognition agreement ever
becomes applicable, the sublease is on favorable terms; the rent increases by 2.5 percent
annually, and after the initial term of 20 years, there is a fair market value adjustment to the rent
beginning every 10 years. Based on a new appraisal every 10 years, the rent continually
increases at 2.5 percent annually. EMRF would collect the rent directly from the Developer of
the medical office building and reclaim the remaining property currently under the UC Health
ground lease.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
For City Council to approve a Resolution of Support, supporting a recognition agreement
between EMRF and UC Health and the Developer.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
Governance and Economy:
Ensures the City of Englewood is effectively leveraging its assets to the benefit of
Englewood residents.

Foundation Lease by reason thereof.
(c) New Lease. In the event that (i) Landlord (or any successor to Landlord’s
interest in the Foundation Lease, including any Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee) fails
to exercise any Extension Option prior to the deadline to do so under the Foundation Lease
(except if Landlord, or any successor to Landlord’s interest in the Foundation Lease
including any Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee, or Tenant has validly exercised the
Purchase Option and thereafter closes on the acquisition of the Premises and otherwise
effectuates the transactions contemplated thereby), (ii) Landlord (or any successor to
Landlord’s interest in the Foundation Lease, including any Leasehold Mortgagee or its
designee, but expressly excluding Tenant) validly exercised the Purchase Option but
thereafter fails to close on the acquisition of the Premises and otherwise effectuate the
transactions contemplated thereby, or (iii) the Foundation Lease is terminated for any
reason (provided that if a new ground lease demising the Overall Parcel or the MOB Parcel
to any Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee is executed by the Foundation, the Ground
Sublease shall remain in effect and otherwise unmodified and this clause (iii) shall not
apply), expires, is surrendered or rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding with respect to
Page 174 of 329
Recognition Agreement - Page 4
Highlands Ranch MOB
Landlord, then the Foundation shall give prompt notice thereof to Tenant and any
Subleasehold Mortgagee. The Foundation, within thirty (30) days after receiving a written
request therefor from Tenant, which shall be given within sixty (60) days after notice from
the Foundation is received by Tenant and any Subleasehold Mortgagee of such termination,
expiration, surrender or failure to exercise an Extension Option, as applicable, will execute
and deliver a new lease of solely the MOB Parcel, improvements and related rights and
easements to Tenant containing the same covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, and
limitations as are contained herein and in the Ground Sublease, subject to reasonable
modification as requested by Tenant to reflect the direct relationship between the
Foundation and Tenant without Landlord (e.g. preservation of extension options, etc.), and
shall execute, deliver and record such documentation as reasonably requested by Tenant to
provide that all easements and other rights set forth in the Construction, Operation and
Reciprocal Easement Agreement (the “COREA”) and any other easements or other
agreements granted by Landlord to Tenant in accordance with the Foundation Lease (or
otherwise approved in advance by the Foundation) in connection with Tenant’s
development and operation of the MOB Parcel (collectively, the “MOB Easements”) will
be binding on the Foundation’s (or its successor’s) fee interest in the Overall Parcel for the
benefit of the MOB Parcel, provided that Tenant shall (A) pay to the Foundation,
simultaneously with the delivery of such new lease, all unpaid rent due under the
Foundation Lease up to and including the date of the commencement of the term of such
new lease and all expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements and court costs incurred by the Foundation in connection with the
termination and the preparation and delivery of the new lease and any defaults by Landlord
for which Tenant properly received notice by Landlord as and when required by Section
2(b)(i) of this Agreement, and (B) Tenant shall commence and diligently proceed to cure
all defaults existing under the Foundation Lease which are susceptible to cure by Tenant,
in each case under clauses (A) and (B) as and to the extent applicable solely to the MOB
Parcel (e.g. the MOB Parcel’s pro rata share of Rent as determined based upon its
proportionate share of the Overall Parcel on a square footage basis). For the period of time
after termination or expiration of the Foundation Lease but prior to the execution and
delivery of the new lease, the Ground Sublease will be deemed to remain in effect as a
direct lease with the Foundation as Landlord, and Landlord shall not disturb or otherwise
interfere with Tenant’s possession of the MOB Parcel and rights under the MOB
Easements. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant will have no right to a new lease in
accordance with this Section 2(c) (and the Ground Sublease shall continue as a direct lease
by Landlord to Tenant) if Landlord has acquired fee ownership of the MOB Parcel, or
Landlord has timely exercised the Purchase Option and thereafter Landlord (or its designee
or assignee permitted in accordance with the Foundation Lease) acquires fee ownership of
the Overall Parcel. If Tenant does enter into a new, direct lease with the Foundation,
Tenant agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Foundation, at the Foundation’s sole cost
and expense, with respect to any reconfiguration of the parking servicing the MOB Parcel,
provided that at all times the Parking Requirements (as such term is defined in the COREA)
shall be satisfied within the MOB Parking Zone (as such term is defined in the COREA).
(d) No Modifications. No cancellation, modification or amendment of the
Foundation Lease affecting, directly or indirectly, Tenant, the MOB Parcel or the MOB
Easements, shall be entered into without Tenant’s prior written consent. Any modification
Page 175 of 329
Recognition Agreement - Page 5
Highlands Ranch MOB
or amendment of the Ground Sublease made without the Foundation’s prior written consent
will not be binding upon the Foundation and will not be included in the terms of a direct
lease as provided in Section 2(c).
(e) No Waiver of Landlord Performance. Nothing in this Section 2 shall be
deemed to relieve the Landlord of any of its obligations under the Foundation Lease.
(f) No Qualified Assignee Requirement. For the sake of clarity, the
Foundation, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Qualified Assignee
requirements set forth in Article 7 of the Foundation Lease do not apply to any Tenant
under the Ground Sublease, including with respect to any rights Tenant may exercise
pursuant to this Agreement.
3. Subleasehold Mortgagee Agreements.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Foundation Lease, each
Subleasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise the rights of Tenant under Sections
2(b) and (c) of this Agreement. If reasonably requested by any Subleasehold Mortgagee,
each of the Foundation, Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into any amendments or
modifications to this Agreement, or enter into another agreement or agreements on
substantially similar terms, in each case intended to secure the survival and financeability
of the Ground Sublease as contemplated hereby but which do not materially reduce any
rights or increase any material obligations of the Foundation or Landlord hereunder. Tenant
will pay to the Foundation, within thirty (30) days following written demand by the
Foundation, the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees) incurred by the Foundation in connection with the negotiation and execution of any
modifications, amendments or other agreements requested by any Subleasehold Mortgagee
pursuant to this Section 3(a).
(b) The Foundation agrees that the Foundation Lease and this Agreement will
continue in force, unabated, in the event any Subleasehold Mortgagee or its designee
acquires Tenant’s interest under the Ground Sublease or enters into a new sublease
pursuant to the terms of the Ground Sublease, and such Subleasehold Mortgagee or
designee shall be entitled to all rights of Tenant under this Agreement.
(c) Following a foreclosure (or deed in lieu of foreclosure) and acquisition of
the Overall Parcel, the MOB Parcel or Landlord’s leasehold interest under the Foundation
Lease by a Leasehold Mortgagee (i) the Ground Sublease will not be terminated and
Tenant’s possession of the MOB Parcel will not be disturbed as a result of such foreclosure
(or deed in lieu of foreclosure), provided that no Event of Default under the Ground
Sublease has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) Tenant (or Subleasehold Mortgagee
following a foreclosure or receipt of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by Subleasehold
Mortgagee) will continue to be entitled to exercise the rights of Tenant under Sections 2(b)
and (c) of this Agreement.
(d) Landlord and any Leasehold Mortgagee will enter into such commercially
reasonable form of non-disturbance and attornment agreement as may be requested from
Page 176 of 329
Recognition Agreement - Page 6
Highlands Ranch MOB
time to time by Tenant in furtherance of the provisions of this Section 3 and the
financeability of Tenant’s interests under the Ground Sublease. Further, each Leasehold
Mortgagee and Subleasehold Mortgagee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
coordinate the exercise by Leasehold Mortgagee of its rights as a Leasehold Mortgagee
under the Foundation Lease and Subleasehold Mortgagee’s exercise of its rights under the
Ground Sublease and this Agreement.
4. Notice. Any notice or demand required or given hereunder or under the Foundation
Lease to the Foundation, Landlord, Tenant, a Leasehold Mortgagee or a Subleasehold Mortgagee

Dated as of ________, 2024
Page 189 of 329
GROUND SUBLEASE
THIS GROUND SUBLEASE (“Sublease”) is made and entered into as ________, 2024
(the “Effective Date”), by and between University of Colorado Health, a Colorado nonprofit
corporation (“Sublandlord”) and Highlands Ranch MP RK6, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Subtenant”).
RECITALS
This Sublease is entered into upon the basis of the following facts, understandings and
intentions of the parties:
A. Englewood/McLellan Reservoir Foundation, a Colorado nonprofit corporation
(“Master Landlord”) is the fee owner of that certain real property consisting of 33.283 acres (the
“Master Ground Leased Premises”) which is legally described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto,
which has the address of 1500 Park Central Drive, in the City of Highlands Ranch (“City”), in the
state of Colorado (“State”), as further described in the Master Ground Lease (defined below).
Master Landlord ground leased the Master Ground Leased Premises to Central Park at Highlands
Ranch, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Shea”) pursuant to that certain Ground Lease
dated April 5, 2016 (as the same has previously been and may hereafter be amended, modified, or
restated, the “Master Ground Lease”). Shea, as assignor, assigned to Sublandlord, as assignee,
all rights, title and interest in the Master Ground Leased Premises and the Master Ground Lease,
except for the Retained Rights (as defined below) pursuant to that certain Agreement of
Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease dated May 25, 2016 (“Master Ground Lease
Assignment”). In connection with the Master Ground Lease Assignment, Shea and Sublandlord
entered into that certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions dated May 25,
2016 and recorded in the Official Records of Douglas County, Colorado on May 26, 2016 as
Document No. 2016033134 (the “Shea CC&Rs”). The “Retained Rights” retained by Shea as
described in the Master Ground Lease Assignment are referred to in this Sublease as the “Retained
Rights”.
B. Sublandlord desires to sublease to Subtenant, and Subtenant desires to sublease
from Sublandlord, that certain portion of the Master Ground Leased Premises (the “Ground
Subleased Premises”) so that Subtenant can construct a medical office building on the Ground
Subleased Premises consisting of approximately 119,000 rentable square feet of space to be used
to provide medical services and ancillary services (as altered, remodeled, refurbished,
reconstructed, and/or replaced from time to time, collectively the “MOB”), which parcel is as
approximately depicted in Exhibit “B-1” and described in Exhibit “B-2” attached hereto and
incorporated in this Sublease by this reference and is more particularly depicted on the survey
dated November 8, 2023 prepared by Precision Survey and Mapping and bearing project number
R13637-UCHealth (the “Survey”) attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and incorporated by reference
in this Sublease.
C. Concurrently with the execution of this Sublease, Sublandlord and Subtenant will
enter into certain Ancillary Documents (as defined below) to document certain easements as more
particularly described therein and pursuant to which Sublandlord and Subtenant have also agreed,
among other things, to certain obligations relating to construction and maintenance of certain
Page 190 of 329
2
common areas located upon the Master Ground Leased Premises, all as more particularly described
in the Ancillary Documents.
D. Sublandlord will lease approximately 30,000 rentable square feet of space in the
MOB from Subtenant pursuant to one or more medical office building leases in substantially the
form attached as Exhibit “D” (the “MOB Leases”), to be dated of or about even date herewith.
E. The parties desire to establish the terms and conditions of the Sublease to fulfill the
foregoing objectives.
F. Sublandlord also owns and operates a community hospital commonly known as the
UC Health Highlands Ranch Hospital (the “Hospital”) located on the Master Ground Leased
Premises.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the
foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference, and further agree
as follows:
ARTICLE 1 - DEMISE OF GROUND SUBLEASED PREMISES
Section 1.1 Ground Subleased Premises. Sublandlord, for and in consideration of
the rents, covenants and conditions herein set forth, does hereby lease to Subtenant, and Subtenant
does hereby lease from Sublandlord, the Ground Subleased Premises, subject to the terms,
conditions and provisions hereof. To the extent applicable, Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that
the Ground Subleased Premises shall include those certain easements, rights, covenants and
obligations relating to access, parking, shared utilities and services, and the like (collectively, the
“Ancillary Documents”), as specifically described in Exhibit “B-3” attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
Section 1.2 Sublandlord’s Warranty of Title. Sublandlord hereby represents and
warrants that it has a leasehold interest in the Ground Subleased Premises, and that the Ground
Subleased Premises is free and clear of any liens, mortgages or other encumbrances other than the
Master Ground Lease, this Sublease, and those liens, mortgages and other encumbrances listed on
Exhibit “E” attached to this Sublease and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the
“Permitted Encumbrances”).
Section 1.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Sublandlord covenants and agrees that Subtenant,
upon paying the rent and other charges herein provided and observing and keeping the covenants,
conditions, and terms of this Sublease on Subtenant’s part to be kept or performed, shall lawfully
and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Ground Subleased Premises during the “Term ” and any
“Extended Term” (as defined in Article 2) of this Sublease without hindrance of Sublandlord or
any person claiming by, through or under Sublandlord, subject only to the Ancillary Documents
and Permitted Encumbrances in existence as of the Effective Date or as otherwise entered into
after the Effective Date in accordance with this Sublease or the COREA. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Sublandlord hereby retains the right to enter upon and inspect the Ground Subleased
Premises and MOB for any legitimate purpose hereunder at reasonable times and upon reasonable
advance notice (except in emergencies, in which even no prior notice is required), subject to the
Page 191 of 329
3
rights of any tenants under any leases for space at the MOB. Following the Effective Date,
Sublandlord will not enter into any easements, liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances affecting
the Ground Subleased Premises except (i) in accordance with Section 6.4.6 below, or (ii) with
Subtenant’s written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Subtenant’s sole and
absolute discretion with respect to liens, mortgages and other forms of secured obligations and
which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed with respect to other
encumbrances.
Section 1.4 Documentary Stamp Tax and Intangible Tax. Notwithstanding
anything in this Sublease to the contrary, in the event that at any time this Sublease is determined
to be a taxable instrument, or represent a taxable transaction by the State under provisions relating
to documentary stamp tax, or intangible tax or similar taxes, then payment of any such tax or taxes
shall be borne by Subtenant.
Section 1.5 Fee Ownership of the MOB. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease
to the contrary, the Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that during the Term
(including any Extended Term) Subtenant shall have full ownership rights in fee to the MOB and
any and all other improvements upon the Ground Subleased Premises. For the avoidance of doubt,
for income tax purposes, Subtenant shall be considered to be the owner of the MOB during the
Term and shall be entitled to claim all depreciation, cost recovery, and other tax deductions with
respect thereto.
Section 1.6 Compliance with Law, Matters of Record and Ancillary Documents.
Subtenant and Sublandlord must comply with the terms of the Ancillary Documents, all other
matters of record which affect the Ground Subleased Premises (including, without limitation,
easements, covenants, restrictions, and obligations) as of the Effective Date or which are entered
into after the Effective Date in accordance with this Sublease or the COREA, and all applicable
laws, at all times; provided that so long as Sublandlord or an Affiliate thereof is then a tenant or
occupant of the MOB, Subtenant shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this
Section 1.6 to the extent such non-compliance is caused by the acts or omissions of Sublandlord
or such Affiliate or otherwise constitutes a default by Sublandlord or its Affiliates under an MOB
Lease.
ARTICLE 2 - LEASE TERM
Section 2.1 Sublease Commencement. The commencement date of this Sublease
(“Sublease Commencement Date”) shall be the Effective Date. Prior to the Sublease
Commencement Date, Subtenant shall not have any possessory, legal or equitable right, title or
interest in or to the Ground Subleased Premises; however, Subtenant may deliver a copy of this
Sublease to potential lenders in connection with the financing of the MOB.
Section 2.2 Sublease Term. The term of this Sublease shall be for a period
commencing on the Sublease Commencement Date and continuing through April 4, 2036 (the
“Initial Term”). As used in this Sublease, “Term” shall refer to the Initial Term, and any
applicable Extended Term (as defined below). The last day of the Initial Term of this Sublease
shall be April 4, 2036 (the “Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated or extended as herein
provided.
Page 192 of 329
4
Section 2.3 Rent Commencement. Rent payments shall commence on the
Commencement Date (as such term is defined in Sublandlord’s MOB Lease dated as of the
Effective Date) of Sublandlord’s MOB Lease dated as of the Effective Date (the “Rent
Commencement Date”).
Section 2.4 Options to Extend. Subtenant may, at its option and subject to the
conditions herein stated, extend the original Term of this Sublease for six (6) additional periods of
ten (10) years each, and one (1) final option of five (5) years, subject to all the provisions of this
Sublease, including provisions for adjustments to the rent. Each additional option period in effect
hereunder shall be referred to as an “Extended Term.” The Expiration Date, as used herein, shall
be deemed extended, to the extent applicable, to the last date of each Extended Term of this
Sublease. Subtenant agrees that each Extended Term will not impose any additional requirements
or obligations upon Sublandlord, the Ground Subleased Premises being leased upon renewal “As
Is”, except for the Base Annual Rent (as defined below) which will be adjusted the first day of
each Extended Term and each anniversary thereafter in accordance with Section 3.2 below. Each
option for an Extended Term shall be deemed exercised automatically without any action by any
party unless Subtenant shall give written notice to Sublandlord irrevocably declining the option
not later than two hundred and ten (210) days prior to expiration of the Term, and each Extended
Term, as may be applicable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (I) if the term of the Master
Ground Lease is extended for any reason, including any amendment, modification, renewal, entry
into a replacement or new ground lease or otherwise, then the then-current Term (whether the
Initial Term or the then-current Extended Term) of this Sublease shall automatically be extended
by the lesser of (a) the corresponding period of time by which the term of the Master Ground Lease
is extended, and (b) an amount equal to seventy-five (75) years minus the number of years that
have already elapsed of the Term since the Effective Date, and (II) if the Purchase Option under
the Master Ground Lease is exercised by Sublandlord, then the then-current Term (whether the
Initial Term or the then-current Extended Term) of this Sublease shall automatically be extended
by an amount equal to seventy-five (75) years minus the number of years that have already elapsed
of the Term since the Effective Date. Upon the occurrence of either (I) or (II), (A) the Extended
Terms (starting with the last Extended Term until the same has been reduced in full, and continuing
in the same manner in reverse order of Extended Terms) will be reduced such that the total Term
of this Sublease (including any remaining Extended Terms following such reduction) is equal to a
period of seventy-five (75) years following the Effective Date, and (II) the parties shall enter into
an amendment of this Sublease memorializing the extended Term and reduction of Extended
Terms, provided that this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect despite any failure to enter
into such amendment, and for the avoidance of doubt any such failure shall not be deemed to
disregard, amend or modify this paragraph or render the applicable extension of the Term and
reduction of the Extended Terms ineffective.
Section 2.5 Reversion. At the Expiration Date or sooner valid termination of this
Sublease by Sublandlord, whether by default, eviction, or otherwise (except in the instance of a
new ground sublease issued to a Recognized Mortgagee in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof or
as may be otherwise set forth in that certain Recognition Agreement by and among Master
Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant of or about even date herewith (as may be amended or
modified from time to time, the “Master Landlord Recognition Agreement”), including upon a
Page 193 of 329
5
new direct lease between Master Landlord and Subtenant,) the MOB, Ground Subleased Premises
and all other improvements upon the Ground Subleased Premises shall, without compensation to
Subtenant or any other party, then become the sole property of Sublandlord or Sublandlord’s
designee subject to any leases then in effect, free and clear of all claims to or against them by
Subtenant or any third person, and all liens, security interests, and encumbrances against the
Ground Subleased Premises, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, and any other encumbrances
or liens against the Ground Subleased Premises expressly joined in or consented to by Sublandlord,
and Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Sublandlord harmless against all liability and loss,
including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs through litigation and all appeals,
arising from such claims, liens against the Ground Subleased Premises, security interests and
encumbrances against the Ground Subleased Premises and from Sublandlord’s exercise of the
rights conferred by this section, except to the extent such claims arise from the acts or omissions
of any Sublandlord Representatives (as hereinafter defined). All alterations, improvements,
additions and utility installations (whether or not such utility installation constitutes trade fixtures
of Subtenant) which may be made on the Ground Subleased Premises, shall be the property of
Sublandlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Ground Subleased Premises at the
Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph, the machinery and equipment of Subtenant or any tenant of the MOB, other than that
which is either (a) affixed to the Ground Subleased Premises so that it cannot be removed without
damage to the Ground Subleased Premises or (b) necessary for the continued operation of the
MOB and other improvements located on the Ground Subleased Premises, shall remain the
property of Subtenant or such tenant or other such occupant of the MOB, as may be applicable,
and may be removed prior to the expiration or termination of this Sublease. The obligations of
Subtenant under this Section 2.5 will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease
for a period of one (1) year.
Section 2.6 Subtenant Protections.
2.6.1. Sublandlord shall not terminate the Master Ground Lease, and
Sublandlord shall not amend or modify the Master Ground Lease in a manner affecting the Ground

consent of Subtenant, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.
2.6.2. Sublandlord shall timely exercise Sublandlord’s Extension Options (as
defined therein) set forth in Article 3 Section 2 of the Master Ground Lease so long as (i) Subtenant
has not affirmatively declined to exercise the concurrent extension option set forth in Section 2.4,
and (ii) Sublandlord has not exercised remedies pursuant to Section 13.2 and terminated this
Sublease pursuant to Section 13.2.1 as a result of any uncured default by Subtenant.
2.6.3. If Sublandlord or an Affiliate thereof acquires fee title to the Master
Ground Leased Premises or any portion thereof, the Sublandlord shall not terminate the Master
Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Subtenant, not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
2.6.4. If Sublandlord or an Affiliate thereof acquires fee title to the Master
Ground Leased Premises or any portion thereof and the Master Ground Lease is terminated,
Page 194 of 329
6
merged or collapsed, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect and shall be deemed to be
a direct ground lease with the fee owner with respect to the Ground Subleased Premises.
2.6.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Sublease, this
Sublease shall be subject to the terms of the Master Landlord Recognition Agreement (as such
term is defined herein).
2.6.6. Sublandlord shall not amend or modify any of the Retained Rights in a
manner adversely affecting the Ground Subleased Premises or this Sublease or Subtenant’s interest
therein or in any of the Ancillary Documents, and shall at all times comply in all material respects
with the terms of all documents evidencing such Retained Rights or related thereto, and
Sublandlord shall provide copies of all material written notices, including notices of default,
received from or delivered to Shea which affects the Ground Subleased Premises.
2.6.7. Sublandlord shall provide copies of all written notice of default under the
Master Ground Lease it receives or delivers promptly after such receipt or delivery.

this Section 2.6.
ARTICLE 3 - RENT, TAXES AND UTILITIES
Section 3.1 Base Annual Rent. Subtenant agrees to pay Sublandlord, for the use and
occupancy of the Ground Subleased Premises, “Base Annual Rent” in the amount of $241,920.00
payable in monthly installments of $20,160.00 in advance on the Rent Commencement Date and
on the first day of each month thereafter for the remainder of the Term and each Extended Term,
subject to adjustment as described in Section 3.2. Simultaneously with and in addition to payment
of Base Annual Rent, Subtenant agrees to pay any applicable state sales tax due on the rent. There
shall be no increases in the Base Annual Rent other than as set forth in this Article 3. The term
“rent,” as used herein, shall mean Base Annual Rent and all additional rent and other monetary
amounts becoming due and payable under this Sublease.
Section 3.2 Base Annual Rent Adjustments.
3.2.1. On the first (1st) anniversary of the first (1st) day of the month following
the Rent Commencement Date (or on the first (1st) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date
if the Rent Commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month) and on each anniversary
thereafter (except for the first day of any Extended Term when the Base Annual Rent will be
adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2.2 below) through the expiration of the Term (including any
Extended Term), the Base Annual Rent shall be increased by two and one-half percent (2.5%) over
the immediately preceding rental amount.
3.2.2. Effective as of the first (1st) day of each Extended Term, Base Annual Rent
will be adjusted to the Fair Market Rent (as defined below), but in no event will the Base Annual
Page 195 of 329
7
Rent be less than the Base Annual Rent that was payable immediately prior to such adjustment.
As used in this Sublease, “Fair Market Rent” means the fair market rental rate (calculated on an
annual basis) of the Ground Subleased Premises, which will be calculated based on the Ground
Subleased Premises being vacant land only without assigning any value to any Improvements then
constructed on the Ground Subleased Premises, and will be calculated based on the greater
metropolitan area in which the Ground Subleased Premises are located. In the event Subtenant
exercises an option to extend the Term by an Extended Term, Sublandlord and Subtenant will
attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent using their good faith efforts. If, within ten (10) days
following Subtenant’s exercise of an option to extend the Term by an Extended Term Sublandlord
and Subtenant do not reach agreement on the Fair Market Rent as of the commencement of the
applicable Extended Term, then Sublandlord and Subtenant will agree upon a date (which date
must be no later than thirty-five (35) days after Subtenant’s exercise of its option to extend the
Term by the Extended Term) for Sublandlord and Subtenant to exchange sealed envelopes
containing their respective determinations of the Fair Market Rent. The sealed envelopes will be
simultaneously opened in the presence of representatives of Sublandlord and Subtenant, and if the
higher of the two determinations of Fair Market Rent is not more than 5% greater than the lower
determination of Fair Market Rent, then the two values will be averaged and the average will be
determined to be the Fair Market Rent applicable to the commencement of the applicable Extended
Term. If the higher of the two determinations of Fair Market Rent is more than 5% greater than
the lower determination of Fair Market Rent, then within ten (10) days Sublandlord and Subtenant
will agree on the appointment of an arbitrator who must be a MAI licensed real estate appraiser
with at least ten (10) years’ experience appraising commercial properties in the metropolitan area
where the Ground Leased Premises are located. The determination of the arbitrator will be final,
binding, and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, and will be limited solely to
determining whether Sublandlord’s or Subtenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent
exchanged in the sealed envelopes is closest to the arbitrator’s opinion of the Fair Market Rent of
the Ground Subleased Premises. The arbitration must be conducted no more than thirty (30) days
after the appointment of the arbitrator.
Section 3.3 Taxes.
3.3.1. Real and Personal Property. From and after the Sublease Commencement
Date, Subtenant shall pay or cause to be paid, without abatement, deduction, or offset, the
following items: All real and personal property taxes, general and special assessments, and all
other charges, assessments and taxes of every description, levied on or assessed against the Ground
Subleased Premises, the MOB and other improvements located on the Ground Subleased Premises;
personal property located on or in the Ground Subleased Premises, the MOB or improvements;
the leasehold estate, or any leasehold estate, to the full extent of installments existing or newly
assessed during the Term and any Extended Term, but excluding any capital gains taxes imposed
in connection with the execution of this Sublease and any municipal, state, or federal income, gross
receipts, inheritance, estate, succession, profit, capital, transfer, gains, or corporate franchise taxes
imposed upon Sublandlord (collectively, “Taxes”). Subtenant shall also be required to pay for all
development and impact fees for the initial construction of the Improvements, and all related
construction and development expenses of the Improvements from and after the Sublease
Commencement Date. Subtenant shall make all such payments directly to the appropriate charging
or taxing authority before delinquency and before any fine, interest, or penalty shall become due
or be imposed by operation of law for their nonpayment. If, however, the law expressly permits
Page 196 of 329
8
the payment of any or all of the above items in installments (whether or not interest accrues on the
unpaid balance), Subtenant may, at Subtenant’s election, utilize the permitted installment method,
but shall pay each installment with any interest before delinquency and before any fine, interest,
or penalty shall become due or be imposed by operation of law for their nonpayment. All payments
of taxes or assessments or both, including permitted installment payments, shall be prorated for
the initial Lease year and for the year in which the Sublease terminates. Subtenant shall at all
times defend, indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from any and all losses, costs, damages
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Subtenant’s breach of its
covenants set forth in this Section 3.3.1, which indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease.
3.3.2. Calculation of Real Estate Taxes. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that
Subtenant shall be responsible for the real estate taxes attributable to the Ground Subleased
Premises as improved with the MOB.
3.3.3. Proof of Compliance. Subtenant shall furnish to Sublandlord, within
thirty (30) days following the date when any tax, assessment, or charge (for which Subtenant is
responsible hereunder) would become delinquent, receipts or other reasonably appropriate
evidence establishing payment thereof.
3.3.4. Contesting Taxes. Subtenant shall have the right to contest or review by
legal proceedings, as permitted under applicable law, any assessed valuation, real estate tax, or
assessment; provided that, unless Subtenant has paid such tax or assessment under protest to the
extent then payable, Subtenant shall furnish to Sublandlord proof reasonably satisfactory to
Sublandlord that such protest or contest may be maintained without payment under protest.
Sublandlord shall, if so requested by Subtenant, join in any proceeding for contest or review of
such taxes or assessments, but the entire cost of such joinder in the proceedings (including all
costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees reasonably sustained by Sublandlord in connection
therewith) shall be borne by Subtenant. Any amount already paid by Subtenant and subsequently
recovered as the result of such contest or review shall be for the account of Subtenant.
3.3.5. Separate Tax Parcel. Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree
that (i) the Ground Subleased Premises is part of a larger portion of the land (said portion of land
being the Master Ground Leased Premises), and (ii) the Ground Subleased Premises cannot be
severed into a separate tax parcel prior to the date hereof. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts, including the preparation of any necessary plats, to cause the
Ground Subleased Premises to be assessed separately from the balance of the Master Ground
Leased Premises for real estate tax purposes (the “Tax Severance”). Sublandlord will use
commercially reasonable steps to cause Master Landlord to cooperate with such Tax Severance in
accordance with the terms of the Master Ground Lease. Any easements granted for the benefit of
the Ground Subleased Premises are intended to be valued as part of the taxable parcel benefited
by such easements. Sublandlord and Subtenant each will cooperate with the Tax Severance and in
connection therewith Sublandlord and Subtenant agree to not unreasonably withhold their consent
to the timely execution by each of them of any agreement, instrument or other documents which
may be reasonably necessary to effect the same. Sublandlord may, at its option, contract with a
third party to process the Tax Severance. In such event, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each bear
one-half (1/2) of the third party cost for Tax Severance, which shall be due within thirty (30) days
Page 197 of 329
9
after receipt of invoices. Sublandlord and Subtenant further agree as follows with respect to the
Tax Severance:
(a) Sublandlord and Subtenant expressly acknowledge and agree that
the terms regarding Subtenant’s obligation to pay Taxes set forth in this Section 3.3 shall be
applicable following a Tax Severance. Unless and until the Tax Severance has occurred,
Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a copy of the applicable tax bill and Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after written demand (provided that such demand shall not be
made earlier than sixty (60) days before a payment becomes due and is accompanied by a true and
correct copy of the applicable tax bill for the Taxes then payable) Subtenant’s Share (as hereinafter
defined) of all Taxes payable from and after the Sublease Commencement Date for the periods
occurring after the Sublease Commencement Date. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that, as of
the date hereof and from time to time, Subtenant’s Share shall be equal to the number of
acres/square feet in the Ground Subleased Premises, divided by the number of acres/square feet in
the Master Ground Leased Premises and such Subtenant’s Share shall be applied to all Taxes
payable by Subtenant, including the taxable value of the MOB and as further described in Sections
3.3.1 and 3.3.2. Following the Sublease Commencement Date unless and until the Tax Severance
occurs, Sublandlord shall (subject to Sublandlord’s right to contest the amount or validity thereof
by appropriate legal proceedings so long as Sublandlord either makes all such contested payments
under protest or such contest may be maintained without payment under protest) timely pay all
Taxes due for the Master Ground Leased Premises before any lien, fine, penalty, interest or other
charge may be added for non-payment, provided that Subtenant has paid Subtenant’s Share thereof
as computed above. Sublandlord shall furnish to Subtenant, within ninety (90) days following the
date when date when any tax, assessment, or charge would become delinquent, receipts or other
reasonably appropriate evidence establishing payment thereof. Sublandlord agrees to act in good
faith without intent to unfairly overburden Subtenant in any estimated portion of the Taxes payable
by Subtenant hereunder. Unless and until Tax Severance occurs, at the written direction of
Subtenant, Sublandlord shall contest the amount or validity of any or all Taxes due for the Ground
Subleased Premises by appropriate legal proceedings, and Sublandlord shall make all such
contested payments under protest (unless such contest may be maintained without payment under
protest). Any cost or expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection with a contest of the Taxes
pursuant to the foregoing shall be reimbursed by Subtenant within thirty (30) days following
Sublandlord’s written demand.
(b) In addition to Sublandlord’s covenant to pay Taxes attributable to
the Master Ground Leased Premises prior to the Tax Severance in accordance with the terms of
Section 3.3.5(a) above, subject to any contest by Sublandlord as permitted or required under
Section 3.3.5(a) above, Sublandlord agrees to pay, as the same become due and payable and before
any lien, fine, penalty, interest or other charge may be added for nonpayment, (i) all Taxes assessed
against the Ground Subleased Premises, the Master Ground Leased Premises and any other real
property now or hereafter owned by Sublandlord that is burdened by an easement for the benefit
of Subtenant, and (ii) any roll-back taxes, charges or similar levies assessed against the Ground
Subleased Premises and the Master Ground Leased Premises. In the event Sublandlord fails to
make any such payments on or before the date required, then Subtenant may, at its option, make
such payment on behalf of Sublandlord, and Sublandlord shall reimburse Subtenant for such
expenditure, together with interest at the Default Rate, within thirty (30) days following written
demand.

Section 3.4 Utilities. From and after the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant
shall arrange and timely pay for, at its sole cost, or cause to be paid all charges for water, heat, gas
electricity, cable, trash disposal, sewers and any and all other utilities (“Utilities”) used upon the
Ground Subleased Premises throughout the Term and any Extended Term, including, without
limitation, any connection and servicing fees, permit fees, inspection fees, and fees to reserve
utilities capacity, including any such charges or fees incurred prior to the Sublease Commencement
Date. Subtenant shall make or cause all such payments to be made directly to the appropriate
utility as and when due. All Utilities on the Ground Subleased Premises will be separately metered
from other areas on the Master Ground Leased Premises (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not
necessarily for units within the MOB).
Section 3.5 No Security Deposit. No security deposit is required hereunder.
Section 3.6 Triple Net Rent. All Base Annual Rent payable hereunder shall be paid
as “triple net” rent without deduction or offset, except as otherwise provided in this Sublease. It
is the intent of the parties, except as is otherwise provided in this Sublease, that Base Annual Rent
provided to Sublandlord shall be absolutely net to Sublandlord, and Subtenant shall pay all costs,
charges, insurance premiums, Taxes, Utilities, expenses, and assessments of every kind and nature
incurred for, against, or in connection with the Ground Subleased Premises, including without
limitation, assessments, both regular and special, which may be due to any property associations
by virtue of recorded declarations, covenants and restrictions affecting the Ground Subleased
Premises, as same may be amended from time to time, accruing from and after the Sublease
Commencement Date, except as expressly stated herein. All such costs, charges, insurance
premiums, Taxes, Utilities, expenses and assessments covering the Ground Subleased Premises
shall be approximately prorated upon the Sublease Commencement Date and upon the expiration
or sooner termination of this Sublease, except for any expenses such as insurance premiums which
are not being assumed by or transferred for the benefit of Sublandlord.
Section 3.7 Late Payments. In the event Subtenant fails to pay any installment of
Base Annual Rent or other sums hereunder to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after the date
that such installment or other charge is due (“Payment Breach”), Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord on demand a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such installment
or other charge overdue in any month (“Late Fee”). Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and
agree that Sublandlord’s harm caused by Subtenant’s failure to make timely payments would be
impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the Late Fee is a reasonable estimate
of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from such uncured Payment Breach and is not
intended to constitute a penalty.
ARTICLE 4- USE OF GROUND SUBLEASED PREMISES
Section 4.1 Primary Use. Subtenant shall use or cause the use of the Ground
Subleased Premises and any improvements thereon for the construction, reconstruction and
operation of the MOB and such related and incidental uses thereto as permitted hereunder or, if
the Sublandlord Operation Condition (as defined below) is not then satisfied, for any lawful
purposes, and for no other uses.
Section 4.2 Use of Medical Office Building.
Page 199 of 329
11
4.2.1. Prohibited Use Restrictions. The parties acknowledge that, so long as
Sublandlord owns or operates the Hospital or another medical-related facility such as a medical
office building, free-standing clinic, free-standing emergency room, rehabilitation facility, imaging
or diagnostic facility, urgent care center, clinical laboratory facility or ambulatory surgery center
upon the Master Ground Leased Premises (the “Sublandlord Operation Condition”), the
principal purpose of this Sublease is for the MOB to be constructed and occupied by tenants that
provide medical services and ancillary services. So long as the Sublandlord Operation Condition
is satisfied, the MOB shall be used, subject to the express terms of this Sublease, solely for medical
offices and for the practice of medicine, and such other uses which are ancillary to a medical office
or medical facilities (provided that for any space in the MOB whereby the use of the entire demised
premises (and the applicable lease or leases with respect to the same) is merely ancillary to a
medical office or medical facilities, e.g. a coffee shop, such demised premises shall not exceed
2,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate) (“Ancillary Use Leases”), and for any other purposes
that are approved in advance and in writing by Sublandlord, in its reasonable discretion. Subtenant
agrees that for so long as the Sublandlord Operation Condition is satisfied, it shall not use the
MOB or any portion thereof, and, subject to Sections 13.1.5 and 13.1.9, it shall not permit the
MOB or any portion thereof to be used by any occupant, tenant or subtenant of the MOB (other
than Sublandlord or its Affiliates or their respective successors or assigns which may lease space
in the MOB from time to time pursuant to the MOB Leases or otherwise), for the following services
without the express prior written approval of the Sublandlord, which approval, except as otherwise
provided in this paragraph, shall be at the sole discretion of the Sublandlord and may be withheld
for any reason, reasonable or unreasonable, or for no reason at all (the “Prohibited Uses”): (a)
ambulatory surgery procedures (as defined in the list of Medicare-covered ambulatory surgery
procedures) or any other surgical or other procedures that require a general anesthetic (as opposed
to only a local anesthetic); (b) physical therapy; (c) reference diagnostic imaging services (which
include, without limitation, the following: fluoroscopy, computerized tomography (CT), radiation
therapy, interventional radiology, mammography and breast diagnostics, nuclear medicine testing,
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positive emission tomography (PET)); (d) cardiac
catheterization; (e) laboratory services; unless Sublandlord acknowledges in writing that such
proposed laboratory services are not available to Subtenant or such occupants on a commercially
reasonable basis at the Hospital; (f) intentionally omitted; (g) pharmaceutical or pharmacy
services; (h) rehabilitation; (i) inpatient or extended care; (j) infusion; (k) home care; (l) durable
medical equipment; (m) health plan or physician network services; (n) hospice; (o) respiratory
center including sleep services; (p) dialysis; (q) gastroenterology; (r) endoscopy; (s) oncology
center, including medical and radiation oncology; (t) urgent care; (u) inpatient behavioral health
center; and (v) inpatient or outpatient drug or alcohol treatment center; provided, however, that
Sublandlord’s consent shall not be required for x-ray, plane film radiography and ultrasound
services, and any other services identified under subsections (a) through (e) above, with respect to
tenants of the MOB or physician employees of such tenants performing x-ray, plane film
radiography or ultrasound services or other services identified under subsections (a) through (e) as
such services relate to their own patients where such tenants or physician employees of such
tenants are the treating professionals and such services are provided incidental to any such tenants
or physician employees of such tenants use of the MOB to the extent such services are customarily
provided by a physician in the treatment of such physician’s patients in the ordinary and customary
course of treatment within a physician office setting, provided that such services may be performed
if: (i) they are performed under applicable law in a physician office setting, (ii) they are merely
Page 200 of 329
12
ancillary and incidental to such physician’s primary medical practice and do not constitute the
physician’s primary medical practice or specialty nor the predominant services rendered by such
physician to such physician’s patients, (iii) such patients are not referred to such physician
primarily for the purpose of obtaining such ancillary services, and (iv) with respect to the provision
of x-ray or other high-resolution imaging services, the equipment utilized in the provision of such
services either (I) is not customarily used primarily by full-service hospitals, or (II) if such
equipment is customarily used primarily by full-service hospitals, at the time the applicable lease
or other occupancy agreement is signed, the Hospital does not then offer such imaging services
utilizing such equipment proposed to be provided; provided that in no event may magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), or positron emission tomography
(PET) services be performed without the prior written consent of Sublandlord in its sole discretion.
4.2.2. Leases.
(a) Until the date that is twelve months after the date on which
Substantial Completion (as defined below) is achieved, Subtenant shall not enter into a lease
(except Ancillary Use Leases or any lease for less than 5,000 rentable square feet) with any tenant
pursuant to which the economic terms of such tenant’s lease is materially better than the economic
terms of Sublandlord’s MOB Lease.
(b) So long as the Sublandlord Operation Condition is satisfied, (i) all
leases for the MOB (other than the MOB Leases and other leases entered into by Sublandlord or
its Affiliate which may lease space in the MOB from time to time) shall contain the Prohibited Use
restrictions set forth under Section 4.2.1, and (ii) all leases with Qualified Tenants (as defined
below) or any other lease or sublease of the MOB shall require that such tenant or subtenant to
maintain their status as Qualified Tenants throughout the term of such subtenant’s lease.
4.2.3. Prohibitions Not Applicable to Sublandlord. The provisions of Section
4.2 of this Article 4 to the contrary notwithstanding, Sublandlord or an Affiliate or purchaser of
Sublandlord or of the Hospital shall be permitted to lease and use space in the MOB (including
pursuant to the MOB Leases) to perform any of the services or businesses set forth as items (a)
through (e), inclusive, of Section 4.2.1, or any other use which is compatible with services offered
by the Hospital, and in no event shall Subtenant be in breach of or in default under any provision
of this Sublease as a result of any such lease or use.
4.2.4. MOB Occupancy; Sublandlord’s ROFO.
(a) So long as the Sublandlord Operation Condition is satisfied,
Subtenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lease space in the MOB to (i) individual
tenants who are licensed physician members of the active medical staff that are credentialed at the
Hospital (“Active Medical Staff Members”), (ii) entities 100% owned by licensed physicians
with respect to whom (A) each of the owners and employed physicians of such tenants who provide
medical services in the space occupied by such tenants of the MOB are Active Medical Staff
Members, and (B) such entity is not a Competitor, (iii) entities with respect to whom (A) each of
the employed physicians of such tenants who provide medical services in the space occupied by
such tenants of the MOB are Active Medical Staff Members, and (B) such entity is not a
Competitor, or (iv) other tenants providing medical or medically-related services who are not
Page 201 of 329
13
Competitors, and are not nor at any previous time have been excluded from participating in any
federally funded health care program, including Medicare and Medicaid (collectively, “Qualified
Tenants”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Sublease, Qualified Tenants
who meet the requirements of either subsection 4.2.4(a)(i), 4.2.4(a)(ii) or 4.2.4(a)(iii) above shall
not require Sublandlord’s prior written approval, but Qualified Tenants who only meet the
requirement of subsection 4.2.4(a)(iv) shall require Sublandlord’s prior written approval, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and any failure to grant or withhold
such approval within ten (10) business days after delivery of notice thereof shall be deemed an
approval of such proposed Qualified Tenant). Subtenant may also lease space in the MOB to
tenants who are not Qualified Tenants (collectively, “Non-Qualified Tenants”), provided that such
Non-Qualified Tenants are not Competitors, are not nor at any previously have been excluded from
participating in any federally funded healthcare program, including Medicare and Medicaid, and
have been approved in advance in writing by Sublandlord, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that the failure of a Non-Qualified
Tenant to meet any of the foregoing requirements will be a reasonable basis for Sublandlord to
withhold its approval, and any failure to grant or withhold such approval within ten (10) business
days after delivery of notice thereof shall be deemed an approval of such proposed Non-Qualified
Tenant).
(b) So long as the Sublandlord Operation Condition is satisfied, in the
event that at any time during the Term space in the MOB (excluding with respect to the initial
lease-up of the MOB during the first one (1) year following the Effective Date) will become or
does become vacant and available for lease to a third party (the “ROFO Space”), Subtenant shall
so notify Sublandlord in writing of the availability of such space (a “ROFO Space Notice”), and
Sublandlord shall have fifteen (15) business days from receipt of the ROFO Space Notice to notify
Subtenant in writing of Sublandlord’s exercise of its option to lease the ROFO Space on the terms
and conditions contained in the ROFO Space Notice (the “Leasing Right of First Offer”),
pursuant to a new lease which in addition to the terms set forth in the ROFO Space Notice will
otherwise be on commercially reasonable terms and conditions and on substantially the same form
as the MOB Lease. In addition, prior to accepting any unsolicited offer to lease space in the MOB
for which a ROFO Space Notice has not yet been delivered within the prior one (1) year, Subtenant
must first deliver to Sublandlord a ROFO Space Notice (which must be on the same terms and
conditions as the unsolicited offer that Landlord proposes to accept), and Sublandlord will have
the opportunity to exercise its Leasing Right of First Offer in accordance with this Section. The
ROFO Space Notice shall identify the space, base rental, date of availability and improvement
allowance (if any) that Subtenant is willing to provide. In the event Sublandlord fails to deliver to
Subtenant its written acceptance of the Leasing Right of First Offer set forth in the ROFO Space
Notice within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt thereof, Subtenant, subject to all other terms
of this Sublease, shall be free to lease the ROFO Space to a third party (provided that such lease
is for a rental rate that is at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental rate set forth in the ROFO
Space Notice, and such other “material non-economic terms” of the lease are not materially more
favorable to the third party than those set forth in the ROFO Space Notice), and the Leasing Right
of First Offer with respect to the ROFO Space shall be null and void until the expiration or earlier
termination of the resulting lease with the third party; provided, that if Sublandlord does not timely
deliver to Subtenant its written acceptance of the Leasing Right of First Offer set forth in the ROFO
Space Notice and Subtenant does not enter into a lease for the ROFO Space offered to Sublandlord
within one (1) year after Subtenant’s delivery of the ROFO Space Notice, then if Subtenant desires
Page 202 of 329
14
later to lease the ROFO Space, Subtenant shall be required to again provide Sublandlord with a
ROFO Space Notice. The failure of Sublandlord to exercise this Leasing Right of First Offer for
any available ROFO Space in one instance shall not be deemed a waiver of its Leasing Right of
First Offer in another instance. For the purposes of this Section 4.2.4(b), “material non-economic
terms” include terms such as (i) the creation of an option agreement not contemplated in the ROFO
Space Notice whereby the tenant after execution of the lease agreement has the unilateral right to
terminate such lease prior to commencement of design and/or construction activities by either party
or otherwise whereby neither party has any obligation to commence any such activity (including,
without limitation, engaging third parties to design and/or construct the ROFO Space) for at least
six (6) months after execution of the applicable lease, and (ii) required tenant contributions to
improvement of the ROFO Space which Subtenant is requiring as a condition to the leasing of the
ROFO Space, provided, however, the parties acknowledge and agree that “material non-economic
terms” do not include terms such as length of tenant improvement periods, delays in the timing for
lease and/or rent commencement after the execution of such lease, or discretionary lease signing
or due diligence extensions or accelerations.
4.2.5. Additional Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in the provisions of 4.2.4 of this Sublease, so long as the Sublandlord Operation Condition is
satisfied subject to Section 13.1.5, (i) all tenants and subtenants of the MOB will be required to
comply with the Prohibited Use restrictions, except as otherwise provided for in this Sublease, and
(ii) no tenant or subtenant of the MOB shall be a Competitor (as defined in Section 10.1).
If, and to the extent that, 42 USC § 1395x(v)(1)(I) is applicable, until the expiration of four
(4) years after the termination or expiration of this Sublease, Subtenant shall make available, upon
written request by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, or upon request
by the Comptroller General of the United States General Accounting Office, or any of their duly
authorized representatives, a copy of this Sublease and such books, documents, and records as are
necessary to certify the nature and extent of the costs of the items and services provided by
Subtenant under this Sublease. Subtenant shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local
laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations (“Laws”) throughout the Term of this Sublease.
In the event that Subtenant or any Qualified Tenant, Non-Qualified Tenant or any proposed
tenant or subtenant of the MOB is or becomes (or is or becomes owned by, whether directly or
indirectly) a “referring physician” or a “referral source” as to Subtenant or Sublandlord for services
paid for by Medicare or a state health care program, as the terms are defined under any federal or
state health care anti-referral or anti-kickback, regulation, interpretation or opinion (“Referral
Source”), then the following shall apply: (i) lease documents shall be set out in writing and signed
by the parties; (ii) the lease documents shall cover all of the premises leased for the term of the
lease and specify the premises covered by the lease; (iii) the term of the lease shall be for not less
than one year, (iv) the rental charge shall be set in advance (provided that with respect to any
renewal period, rent which is adjusted to Fair Market Value at the commencement of such renewal
period will be deemed to be set in advance), shall be consistent with Fair Market Value in arms-
length transactions, and shall not vary with, or be determined in a manner that takes into account,
the volume or value of any referrals or business otherwise generated between the Referral Source
and Sublandlord or its Affiliate, or Subtenant or its Affiliate, for which payment may be made in
whole or in part under Medicare, Medicaid or other Federal health care programs; and (v) the
aggregate space rented shall not exceed that which is reasonably necessary to accomplish the
Page 203 of 329
15
commercially reasonable business purpose of the lease. For purposes of this paragraph, the term
“Fair Market Value” means the value of the rental property for general commercial purposes, but
shall not be adjusted to reflect the additional value that one party (either the prospective lessee or
lessor) would attribute to the property as a result of its proximity or convenience to sources of
referrals or business otherwise generated for which payment may be made in whole or in part under
Medicare, Medicaid and all other Federal health care programs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a lease shall be deemed to be for Fair Market Value if it
contains a provision permitting the Sublandlord after it assumes any such lease (the “Sublease
Takeover Date”) to do any of the following: (a) (i) negotiate the rental rate for any renewal periods
under any such lease that has not been exercised by the tenant as of the Sublandlord Takeover Date
and for which the renewal period rent is subject to negotiation, (ii) set the rental rate for any
renewal period at Fair Market Value, or (iii) reduce the rental charge to Fair Market Value
unilaterally in Sublandlord’s sole and absolute discretion in the event such rental charge was not
Fair Market Value when initially set, and (b) contains the following provision or a provision
substantially similar thereto to take effect after the Sublease Takeover Date:
“Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that (i) the space rented does not exceed that which is
reasonable and necessary for the legitimate business purposes of Tenant, and (ii) that the [Rent]
and other amounts set forth or required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease (a) have been
negotiated on an arms-length basis pursuant to bona fide bargaining between the parties, and (b)
do not relate, directly or indirectly, to the volume or value of any referrals between the parties.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time during the Term hereof
[Sublandlord] becomes the direct Landlord under this Lease and obtains an independent third-
party appraisal which determines that the aggregate payments required to be paid pursuant to the
terms of this Lease for the remaining term of the Lease or any unexercised renewal term are not
fair market value, the parties shall initiate good faith negotiations to revise the applicable payment
terms and to amend this Agreement accordingly. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach an
agreement as to the [Rent] fair market value within 60 days following commencement of such
negotiations, then Landlord and Tenant may mutually agree to terminate this Lease, as determined
in each of their sole and absolute discretion.”
Section 4.3 MOB Leases Compliance.
4.3.1. Compliance with Use Restrictions. For so long as the Sublandlord
Operation Condition is satisfied, except for MOB Leases, each Qualified Tenant lease will provide
that such tenant shall, at all times during the term of such lease, maintain its status as a Qualified
Tenant, and comply with the Prohibited Use restrictions. Subtenant will have the right and
responsibility of enforcing the terms and conditions of each tenant lease and of making all
assessments necessary to make any and all payments to the Sublandlord or to third parties as may
be required by this Sublease. Subtenant agrees to utilize legal remedies available under the
applicable lease with any tenant to enforce the Prohibited Use restrictions and Qualified Tenant
requirements (if applicable) under all leases in the MOB, including but not limited to obtaining
injunctive relief to enforce said restrictions; however Subtenant shall not be required to terminate
any lease for violation of any of said restrictions unless Sublandlord leases such space as provided
for herein. Subtenant shall enforce the Prohibited Use restrictions and Qualified Tenant
requirements (if applicable) under all leases in a commercially reasonable manner through the
Page 204 of 329
16
exercise of remedies as determined in its commercially reasonable discretion, including with
respect to litigation and general lease enforcement strategy and tactics. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.1, for so long as the Sublandlord
Operation Condition is satisfied, each tenant lease for space in the MOB shall provide that (a) the
Qualified Tenant requirements (except in a lease to a Non-Qualified Tenant approved by
Sublandlord, in which case the requirements applicable to such Non-Qualified Tenant) and the
Prohibited Use restrictions are imposed on such tenant explicitly for the benefit of the Sublandlord,
(b) Sublandlord, as a third party beneficiary, may enforce the Qualified Tenant requirements and
Prohibited Use restrictions directly against such tenant, and (c) Sublandlord’s rights in the event
of a breach by such tenant will include the right to terminate such tenant’s lease, to seek
preliminary, temporary and permanent injunctive relief and to pursue other legal and/or equitable
remedies as a result of such tenant’s breach. Sublandlord agrees that if Subtenant fails to pursue
or obtain a remedy reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, then Sublandlord may exercise its third
party beneficiary rights (including, without limitation, by initiating any lawsuit or other form or
litigation, arbitration or similar procedure, seeking and obtaining injunctive or other similar relief,
or terminating such lease) to enforce such restrictions, which enforcement shall be at Sublandlord’s
sole cost and expense unless such enforcement actions are being taken due to a failure by Subtenant
to take such actions as required under this Section 4.3.1. Sublandlord agrees that if Sublandlord
thereafter enforces its third party beneficiary rights and terminates any such lease due to a breach
of such restrictions, then so long as Subtenant, in its efforts to enforce compliance with the
restrictions set forth above, has utilized any and all legal remedies available under the applicable
tenant lease (other than termination of the lease), Sublandlord will be responsible for the rent and
other charges payable under such lease for the duration of the lease term; provided, that during
such period, Subtenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to re-lease the leased space to a
replacement tenant subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Sublease. In the event that
Sublandlord is required to enforce its third party beneficiary rights due to the Subtenant’s failure
to enforce compliance with the foregoing requirements and restrictions under a tenant lease as
required of Subtenant above and such lease does not require the tenant thereunder to reimburse
Sublandlord for costs incurred by Sublandlord in connection with enforcement of such lease (or
such lease does not include a prevailing party provision), then Subtenant shall be required to
reimburse Sublandlord for all reasonable costs incurred by Sublandlord in connection with
enforcing such third party beneficiary rights, but not including the rent payments and other costs
for which Sublandlord will be responsible in the event of the termination of such lease as described
in this Section 4.3.1. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.3.1 shall apply to the
MOB Leases or any other lease or sublease entered into by or with Sublandlord or its Affiliates.
Any breach of this Section 4.3.1 by Subtenant shall be governed by Section 13.1.5.
4.3.2. Fair Market Value. No later than January 30th of each calendar year during
the Term, Subtenant will provide Sublandlord with a rent roll for the MOB on the form used in
Subtenant’s ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
any failure by Subtenant to provide such rent roll shall by the due date in any year shall not be
deemed to be a default under this Sublease.
Section 4.4 Hazardous Materials.
4.4.1. Definitions. “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any material, substance
or waste that is or has the characteristic of being hazardous, toxic, ignitable, reactive or corrosive,
Page 205 of 329
17
including, without limitation, petroleum, PCBs, asbestos, materials known to cause cancer or
reproductive problems and those materials, substances and/or wastes, including infectious waste,
medical waste, and potentially infectious biomedical waste, which are or later become regulated
by any local governmental authority, the State, or the United States Government, including, but
not limited to, substances defined as “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials,” “toxic
substances” or “hazardous wastes” in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 9601, et seq.; the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 1801, et seq.; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C. § 6901, et seq.; all corresponding and related State and local Statutes, ordinances and
regulations, including without limitation any dealing with underground storage tanks; and in any
other environmental law, regulation or ordinance now existing or hereinafter enacted (collectively,
“Hazardous Materials Laws”).
4.4.2. Condition of Premises at Commencement of Lease. Sublandlord and
Subtenant acknowledge and agree that a Phase I environmental audit has been performed on the
Ground Subleased Premises by Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (the “Auditor”) dated
December 4, 2023 (the “Phase I”). A true and correct copy of the Phase I has been made available
to Sublandlord and Subtenant prior to the execution of this Sublease. Without limiting any rights
of Subtenant or any of its Affiliates under any separate written agreement with Sublandlord,
Subtenant accepts the condition of the Ground Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date.
4.4.3. Use of Premises by Subtenant; Remediation of Contamination.
(a) Use. Subtenant hereby agrees that Subtenant and Subtenant’s
officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, subcontractors, successors,
assigns, tenants, subtenants, licensees, permittees, concessionaires, invitees, others acting for or
on behalf of Subtenant, and any other occupants of the Ground Subleased Premises, and any of the
aforementioned utilizing, occupying, or entering any portion of the Master Ground Leased
Premises (for purposes of this Section 4.4.3, and expressly excluding Sublandlord’s
Representatives (as defined below), referred to collectively herein as “Subtenant’s
Representatives”) shall not use, generate, manufacture, refine, produce, process, store or dispose
of, on, under or about the Master Ground Leased Premises or transport to or from the Master
Ground Leased Premises in the future for the purpose of generating, manufacturing, refining,
producing, storing, handling, transferring, processing or transporting Hazardous Materials, unless
such Hazardous Material is necessary to the business of any such person or entity and such
Hazardous Material is used, kept, stored and disposed of in a manner and in quantities that is
reasonable and customary in the conduct of such business on the Master Ground Leased Premises
and complies with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws. Subtenant shall, and shall cause
Subtenant’s Representatives to, comply with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws with respect
to the Master Ground Leased Premises throughout the Term. To the extent required by applicable
law, it shall be Subtenant’s responsibility to dispose of, by duly licensed haulers to duly licensed
facilities for final disposal of such materials and wastes, any Hazardous Materials and infectious
waste (as such term is defined by applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws) brought
by Subtenant (or Subtenant’s Representatives) on the Master Ground Leased Premises. To this
end, to the extent required by applicable law, Subtenant shall see to it that all such Hazardous
Material and infectious waste are stored, disposed of and transported in a manner consistent with
applicable laws and approved by Sublandlord. Subtenant shall be responsible for all costs and
Page 206 of 329
18
expenses associated with such removal and any related remediation. Subtenant shall not cause or
permit any Hazardous Materials or infectious waste to be disposed on, under, or about the Master
Ground Leased Premises or surrounding property. Subtenant shall not place or permit to be placed
any Hazardous Materials or infectious waste in any trash dumpster or other garbage collection bin
provided by Sublandlord for the disposal of non-infectious waste or garbage. Furthermore,
Subtenant shall, at its own expense, procure, maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of
any and all permits, licenses and other governmental and regulatory approvals required for the
storage or use by Subtenant or any of Subtenant’s Representatives of Hazardous Materials on the
Master Ground Leased Premises, including without limitation, discharge of appropriately treated
materials or wastes into or through any sanitary sewer serving the Ground Leased Premises. All
leases of the MOB entered into by Subtenant from and after the Sublease Commencement Date
(except the MOB Leases) will contain use restrictions and limitations conforming to the terms of
this Section 4.4.
(b) Remediation. If at any time during the Term or any Extended Term
any contamination of the Master Ground Leased Premises by Hazardous Materials shall occur as
a result of the acts or omissions of Subtenant or Subtenant’s Representatives (“Subtenant
Contamination”), then Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly and diligently
remove or cause to be removed such Hazardous Materials from the Master Ground Leased
Premises, or the groundwater underlying the Master Ground Leased Premises, to the extent
required by applicable Hazardous Materials Laws. However, Subtenant shall not take or cause to
be taken any required remedial action in response to any Subtenant Contamination in, on or about
the Master Ground Leased Premises or enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or
other compromise in respect to any claims relating to any Subtenant Contamination without first
notifying Sublandlord of Subtenant’s intention to do so and affording Sublandlord the opportunity
to appear, intervene or otherwise appropriately assert and protect Sublandlord’s interest with
respect thereto. In addition to all other rights and remedies of the Sublandlord hereunder, if
Subtenant does not promptly and diligently take all steps to prepare and obtain all necessary
approvals of a remediation plan for any Subtenant Contamination, and thereafter commence the
required remediation of any Hazardous Materials released or discharged in connection with
Subtenant Contamination within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord has reasonably approved
Subtenant’s remediation plan and all necessary approvals and consents have been obtained and
thereafter continue to prosecute said remediation to completion in accordance with the approved
remediation plan, then Sublandlord, at its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cause said remediation to be accomplished, and Subtenant shall reimburse
Sublandlord within fifteen (15) business days of Sublandlord’s written demand for reimbursement
of all amounts reasonably paid by Sublandlord (together with interest from the date of expenditure
on said amounts at the Default Rate until paid), when said demand is accompanied by proof of
payment by Sublandlord of the amounts demanded. Subtenant shall promptly deliver to
Sublandlord copies of hazardous waste manifests reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all
Hazardous Materials removed from the Master Ground Leased Premises as part of Subtenant’s
remediation of any Subtenant Contamination. If at any time during the Term or any Extended
Term any contamination of the Master Ground Leased Premises by Hazardous Materials shall
occur other than as a result of the acts or omissions of Subtenant or Subtenant’s Representatives,
then Sublandlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly and diligently remove or cause to be
removed such Hazardous Materials from the Master Ground Leased Premises, or the groundwater
Page 207 of 329
19
underlying the Master Ground Leased Premises, to the extent required by applicable Hazardous
Materials Laws.
(c) Disposition of Hazardous Materials. Except as discharged into the
sanitary sewer or otherwise removed from the Master Ground Leased Premises in strict accordance
and conformity with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, Subtenant shall cause any and all
Hazardous Materials removed from the Master Ground Leased Premises as part of the required
remediation of Subtenant Contamination to be removed and transported solely by duly licensed
haulers to duly licensed facilities for final disposal of such materials and wastes.
4.4.4. Notice of Hazardous Materials Matters. Each party hereto (for purposes
of this Section, “Notifying Party”) shall promptly notify the other party (the “Notice Recipient”)
in writing of any of the following of which it obtains actual knowledge: (a) any enforcement, clean-
up, removal or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, contemplated or threatened
concerning the Master Ground Leased Premises, pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws; (b)
any claim made or threatened by any person against the Notifying Party or the Master Ground
Leased Premises, relating to damage contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury
resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Materials on or about the Ground Leased
Premises; and (c) any reports made to any environmental agency arising out of or in connection
with any Hazardous Materials in or removed from the Master Ground Leased Premises, including
any complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations in connection therewith, all upon receipt
by the Notifying Party of actual knowledge of any of the foregoing matters. Notifying Party shall
also supply to Notice Recipient as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business
days after Notifying Party first receives or sends the same, with copies of all claims, reports,
complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to the Master Ground
Leased Premises, or the parties’ use thereof.
4.4.5. Indemnification by Subtenant. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend,
protect, and hold Sublandlord free and harmless from and against any and all claims, actions,
causes of action, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, damages, losses or expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs through litigation and all appeals) arising out of or
resulting from death of or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever actually
incurred or suffered by Sublandlord, or resulting from any enforcement, clean-up, removal or other
governmental or regulatory action instituted concerning the Master Ground Leased Premises
pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws, arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly by (a) any Subtenant Contamination, (b) Subtenant’s failure to comply with any
Hazardous Materials Laws with respect to the Master Ground Leased Premises, or (c) a breach of
any covenant, warranty or representation of Subtenant under this Section 4.4, in each case except
to the extent arising out of the acts or omissions of any Sublandlord Representative, or other third
parties not constituting Subtenant’s Representatives. Subtenant’s obligations hereunder shall
include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or
necessary repair, clean-up or detoxification or decontamination of the Master Ground Leased
Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required
plans in connection therewith. For purposes of the indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or
omissions of Subtenant, or by Subtenant’s Representatives (whether or not they are negligent,
intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Subtenant. The foregoing
Page 208 of 329
20
indemnification by Subtenant shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease,
but shall not extend to conditions not attributable to Subtenant prior to the Effective Date.
4.4.6. Indemnification by Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend,
protect, and hold Subtenant free and harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, causes
of action, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, damages, losses or expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs through litigation and all appeals) arising out of or
resulting from death of or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever actually
incurred or suffered by Subtenant, or resulting from any enforcement, clean-up, removal or other
governmental or regulatory action instituted concerning the Master Ground Leased Premises
pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws, arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly by (a) any contamination of the Master Ground Leased Premises by Hazardous Materials
shall occur as a result of the acts or omissions of Sublandlord or Sublandlord’s Representatives,
(b) Sublandlord’s failure to comply with any Hazardous Materials Laws with respect to the Master
Ground Leased Premises, or (c) a breach of any covenant, warranty or representation of
Sublandlord under this Section 4.4, in each case except to the extent arising out of the acts or
omissions of Subtenant or any of Subtenant’s Representatives, or other third parties not
constituting Sublandlord’s Representatives. Sublandlord’s obligations hereunder shall include,
without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary
repair, clean-up or detoxification or decontamination of the Master Ground Leased Premises, and
the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in
connection therewith. For purposes of the indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or omissions of
Sublandlord, or by Sublandlord’s Representatives (whether or not they are negligent, intentional,
willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Sublandlord. The foregoing indemnification
by Sublandlord shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease.
ARTICLE 5- DESIGN APPROVAL, INITIAL CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATIONS
Section 5.1 Design Approval.
5.1.1. Subtenant’s Architect (as defined below) prepared and delivered to
Sublandlord the design development drawings for the Base Building Work (as defined in the MOB
Leases), which includes the Parking Construction Work (as defined in that certain Construction,
Operation, and Reciprocal Easement Agreement (the “COREA”) entered into by the Parties as of
even date) (collectively, the “Improvements”), set forth on Exhibit “I-1” attached hereto (the
“Design Development Drawings”), in consultation with Sublandlord and which Sublandlord has
approved.
5.1.2. Subtenant has caused the final construction documents (including final
plans and specifications) to be prepared (the “Project Construction Documents”) based upon and
in accordance with the Design Development Drawings, which Project Construction Documents
have been approved by Sublandlord and are set forth on Exhibit “I-2” attached hereto. Subtenant
has also caused a budget to be prepared based on the Project Construction Documents (the “CD
Budget”), which budget has been approved by Sublandlord and is attached hereto as Exhibit “I-
3”.
Page 209 of 329
21
5.1.3. Sublandlord hereby authorizes Subtenant to proceed with construction as
of the Sublease Commencement Date.
5.1.4. The approval by Sublandlord of the Design Development Drawings, the
Project Construction Documents, the CD Budget, and any other budgets, drawings, plans, or
specifications will not be deemed to be a representation or warranty by Sublandlord as to the
adequacy or sufficiency of the same (including, without limitation, the Project Construction
Documents) or the design and construction contemplated thereby for any use or purpose, or
compliance with applicable laws or governmental requirements; and by its approval, Sublandlord
assumes no liability or responsibility whatsoever for such budgets, drawings, plans, or
specifications (including, without limitation, the Project Construction Documents) or for any
defect in any improvement or construction made pursuant to the same.
Section 5.2 Construction of the Work. Subtenant shall diligently pursue and
perform construction of the Improvements in compliance with the provisions of this Article 5, and
in accordance with the Project Construction Documents. Sublandlord shall join in and execute
any applications required to be submitted under applicable law to perform the Approved Work as
and when required by the applicable governing agency, provided Sublandlord’s agreement to join
and execute such applications shall in no way diminish Subtenant’s responsibility for obtaining all
consents, approvals and other entitlements as provided in Section 5.4.1 below.
Section 5.3 Additional Provisions Specific to Initial Construction of the
Improvements.
5.3.1. Change Orders. Subtenant shall not make material changes to the
Project Construction Documents without Sublandlord’s prior written consent as provided herein.
The parties hereby agree that a “material change” to the Project Construction Documents shall
mean any change which would either (i) materially diminish the value or utility of the MOB, or
(ii) materially change the design or layout of the exterior of the MOB or of the interior common
areas of the MOB. Any material changes to the Project Construction Documents arising during
construction shall be documented by Subtenant, Subtenant’s Architect or Subtenant’s Contractor
(a “Change Order”) and submitted to Sublandlord for its review and approval. Sublandlord shall
have three (3) business days to review such Change Order and respond with approval in writing,
rejection or submit a reasonable request for additional information. If Sublandlord requests
additional information, such Change Order will be resubmitted by Subtenant with such information
as is reasonably requested and Sublandlord shall thereafter have two (2) business days to approve
the resubmitted Change Order. Sublandlord approval of Change Orders and any resubmitted
Change Orders shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and if Sublandlord fails
to respond with said 3-day period after receipt of the Change Order or within said 2- day period
after receipt of the resubmitted Change Order, such Change Order shall be deemed approved, and
Subtenant may proceed with the work reflected thereon. If a material Change Order is required in
order for the Improvements to comply with applicable law or in order to incorporate any work
required by any local governmental field inspector, such Change Order shall be submitted to
Sublandlord for review, but shall not be subject to Sublandlord’s approval. Sublandlord
acknowledges that Sublandlord’s prior consent shall not be required in order for Subtenant to
modify the CD Budget in its sole and absolute discretion, including without limitation to reallocate
costs from any line item in the CD Budget (and which expressly includes the use by Subtenant of
Page 210 of 329
22
any savings realized under the CD Budget and the use by Subtenant of any “contingency” line
item in the CD Budget) to another line item in the CD Budget. All changes to the Project
Construction Documents requested by Sublandlord (“Sublandlord Change Orders”) shall be
delivered to Subtenant in writing for Subtenant’s review and approval. The actual duration of all
delays caused by Sublandlord Change Orders, including, without limitation, any stoppage of work
during the Sublandlord Change Orders review process, will constitute a Sublandlord Delay (as
defined below). All increases in the CD Budget resulting from any Sublandlord Change Orders,
including but not limited to increases in the cost of the Improvements caused by any delays caused
by any Sublandlord Change Orders shall be paid by Sublandlord within thirty (30) days following
Subtenant’s request of same.
5.3.2. MOB Entitlements, Contributions and Payments. Subtenant shall be
solely responsible, at its cost, to obtain any and all governmental consents and approvals and other
entitlements necessary for the development and construction of the Improvements. Sublandlord
shall reasonably cooperate (but shall not be obligated to incur any material cost or expense except
as specifically stated below) with Subtenant in order to expedite Subtenant’s obtaining the
necessary approvals set forth above.
5.3.3. Application for Permits. On or before the date that is ten (10) business
days following the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant will apply for all permits, licensing,
zoning changes, replats, PUDs, sewer taps, easements and site plan approvals which may be
necessary to allow for the development and construction of the Improvements. Sublandlord will,
at Subtenant’s expense, reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in the pursuit thereof including,
without limitation, completion and submittal of any application for the same.
5.3.4. Timeframe to Commence Construction of and to Complete MOB.
Subtenant shall execute a guaranteed maximum price construction contract for the Improvements
with Layton Construction Company, LLC, as the contractor thereunder (“Subtenant’s
Contractor”). Subtenant’s architect for the MOB is Page Southerland Page, Inc. (“Subtenant’s
Architect”). Sublandlord’s prior written approval shall be required for any change of Subtenant’s
Contractor or Subtenant’s Architect, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned. Subtenant shall commence construction (i.e., begin preliminary grading work)
within sixty (60) days following the Sublease Commencement Date (the “Authorization Date”);
provided, however, if Subtenant has not obtained a building permit by the Authorization Date,
Subtenant shall not be required to commence construction until thirty (30) days from receipt of the
building permit and shall diligently pursue completion of the Improvements thereafter. Subtenant
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Improvements to be Substantially
Completed (as defined herein) on or before the date that is twenty (20) months after
commencement of construction (the “Projected Completion Date”), subject to extension for each
day of Force Majeure Events. If Subtenant fails to cause the Improvements to be Substantially
Completed on or before the Projected Completion Date (a “Delivery Breach”), then Sublandlord
may send a written notice to Subtenant requiring Subtenant to provide a recovery plan that outlines,
in reasonably sufficient detail, the corrective measures Subtenant will undertake as may be
necessary to expedite the progress of construction in order to cause the Improvements to be
Substantially Completed no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Projected Completion
Date, subject to extension for each day of Force Majeure Events (the “Outside Date”). If
Subtenant fails to cause the Improvements to be Substantially Completed on or before the Outside
Page 211 of 329
23
Date, then, Subtenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($5,000.00) per day (the “Liquidated Damages”) for each day that Subtenant fails to achieve
Substantial Completion of the Improvements beyond the Outside Date (to the extent such delay is
caused by reasons other than Force Majeure Events) for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days
(“Delay Damage Period”). Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that Sublandlord’s
harm caused by an uncured Delivery Breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately
estimate as of the Authorization Date, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate
of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from such uncured Delivery Breach. In the event
Substantial Completion of the Improvements is not achieved by the end of the Delay Damage
Period, as extended for Force Majeure Events, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall in good faith
confer for a period of thirty (30) days to negotiate either an extension of the Delay Damage Period
or an alternative resolution to the delay, and Subtenant shall also pay to Landlord an amount equal
to the Liquidated Damages for each day during such 30-day period. If no resolution is reached
within such time period and Substantial Completion has not yet been achieved, then Sublandlord
may (i) at any time after the expiration of such 30-day period Sublandlord, elect (but it will have
no obligation to do so) to complete the Improvements in accordance with the Project Construction
Documents, at Subtenant’s cost, provided that Subtenant must also pay to Landlord an amount
equal to the Liquidated Damages for each day thereafter until Sublandlord causes the Substantial
Completion of the Improvements to be achieved up to a maximum of number of days that
Sublandlord reasonably estimates (which estimate will be made by Sublandlord at the time that
Sublandlord elects to complete the Improvements) will be needed to achieve Substantial
Completion of the Improvements, or (ii) at any time after the date that is twenty (20) months after
the Outside Date (provided that Subtenant must pay to Landlord an amount equal to the Liquidated
Damages for each day during such 20-month period until Substantial Completion of the
Improvements is achieved), provided that Sublandlord has not exercised its rights pursuant to
clause (i) above, declare that an Event of Default has occurred by reason of such failure and
exercise Sublandlord’s termination remedies in Article 13 of this Sublease. If Sublandlord elects
to complete the Improvements pursuant to (i) in the foregoing sentence, then (A) Subtenant will
cooperate with Sublandlord to complete the construction of the Improvements including but not
limited to, assigning (to the extent assignable) to Sublandlord all contracts, subcontracts, permits
and other documents and agreement necessary to complete the Improvements in accordance with
the Project Construction Documents, and (B) Sublandlord may not thereafter declare the existence
of a default or Event of Default as a result of Subtenant’s failure to cause the Substantial
Completion of the Improvements prior to the expiration of the Delay Damage Period. On the tenth
day of each calendar month, Subtenant must pay to Sublandlord the amount of Liquidated
Damages that accrued during the prior calendar month, and Subtenant’s obligation to pay the
amount of the Liquidated Damages to Sublandlord in accordance with this Section will survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease.
For purposes of this Section, “Substantial Completion”, “Substantially Completed”, or
“Substantially Complete” shall mean the earlier of (i) (a) the Improvements are substantially
completed in accordance with the Project Construction Documents (excluding any exterior
signage), and any approved Change Orders as certified by Subtenant’s Architect; (b) the MOB’s
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning and other systems (to the extent the
same are not part of the Interior Improvements) are fully operational; (c) those portions of the
parking areas, access roads and Improvements that are legally required and reasonably necessary
for the MOB to be occupied are substantially completed in accordance with the Project
Page 212 of 329
24
Construction Documents and any approved Change Orders; (d) the MOB has received a temporary
certificate of occupancy, certificate of completion or a functional equivalent thereof by the
applicable governmental authorities, and (e) Subtenant has notified Sublandlord of (a), (b), (c) and
(d) above and given Sublandlord at least ten (10) days after notification of (a), (b), (c) and (d) to
inspect the same; and (ii) the date on which the Improvements would have been Substantially
Complete pursuant to Section (i) but for Sublandlord Delays (as defined below). The
Improvements shall be deemed Substantially Complete notwithstanding that the exterior signage
has not been installed and notwithstanding a requirement to complete minor corrective work or
punch list items provided that the completion of the same will not interfere with the completion of
the Interior Improvements or the normal business operations to be conducted by the tenants under
the MOB Leases in the MOB (such work or punch list items, collectively the “Punch List Items”).
In the event of any dispute as to whether the MOB is Substantially Complete, the written decision
of Subtenant’s Architect shall be final and binding on Sublandlord and Subtenant. Subtenant will
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the completion of any Punch List Items as soon as
reasonably practicable after inspection by Sublandlord.
5.3.5. Construction. Subtenant shall cause the construction of all
Improvements in a good and workmanlike and in compliance with the Project Construction
Documents and the CD Budget (as the same may have been modified pursuant to approved Change
Orders), all applicable laws and regulations, and the insurance requirements set forth in this
Sublease. During such construction, Sublandlord may (but will have no duty or obligation to)
inspect the Improvements and the materials being used in, or to be used in, the construction of the
Improvements during normal business hours and upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours’ prior
written notice to ensure construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Project
Construction Documents.
Section 5.4 Construction Coordination; Management. Subtenant shall have access
to the Ground Subleased Premises at all times after the Effective Date. Subtenant shall be solely
responsible for coordinating all construction activities for construction of the Improvements
subject to the terms of this Sublease. Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with reasonable advance
notice of and the opportunity to attend any prescheduled construction coordination or update
meetings, which must be held at least once every 2 weeks during the construction of the
Improvements. During construction, Subtenant shall cause Subtenant’s Contractor to install and
maintain appropriate and necessary signage reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord directing all
construction traffic related to construction of the Improvements to the Ground Subleased Premises
and related parking, storage areas, and staging areas using routes reasonably acceptable to
Sublandlord and Subtenant.
Section 5.5 Alterations. Except for (i) the initial construction or reconstruction
(including in connection with a casualty or condemnation) of Improvements pursuant to this
Section 5 and the MOB Leases, (ii) the Interior Improvements (as such term is defined in the MOB
Leases), (iii) any alterations required to be made to the MOB or Ground Subleased Premises in
order to comply with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, orders and regulations of all
governmental authorities or leases, (iv) alterations to the interior of the MOB (excluding, subject
to subclause (v) below, any alterations to the interior common areas) consisting of tenant
improvements for tenants and other occupants of the MOB, (v) routine repair and maintenance,
including as may be required under any leases (including MOB Leases) or other occupancy
Page 213 of 329
25
agreements, and (vi) as otherwise permitted in this Sublease, Subtenant shall not make or allow to
be made any structural or exterior alterations, additions or improvements to the MOB or the
Ground Subleased Premises or any exterior part thereof without the express prior written consent
of the Sublandlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed
(provided that with respect to structural alterations required pursuant to (iii) above, Sublandlord’s
approval will be limited to the design theme of such alterations). Any structural alterations to or
modification of the exterior of the MOB or any interior common areas shall require Subtenant to
provide Sublandlord with sketches and elevations showing the proposed alteration or modification.
Without Sublandlord’s consent, Subtenant shall be allowed to make all other alterations. Any
alterations, additions or improvements (except movable furniture and trade fixtures) shall at once
become a part of the MOB and belong to the Sublandlord upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Sublease. In the event the Sublandlord consents to the making of any alterations, additions,
or improvements to the Ground Subleased Premises by the Subtenant, and with respect to
alterations or tenant improvements for which no consent is required, the same shall be made by
the Subtenant at the Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, in conformance with all applicable code
and governmental requirements. Prior to commencing (which will include contracting with an
architect, engineer, or other design professional to provide design services) any alterations,
additions, or improvements to the Ground Subleased Premises or MOB and which are expected to
cost more than $250,000, Subtenant must, except in the case of emergencies in which such period
of advance notice is impractical under the circumstances, provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice to Sublandlord, provided, however, any failure to do so shall not be deemed a default
under this Sublease.
Section 5.6 Liens. Sublandlord shall not be liable for any work, labor or materials
furnished or to be furnished upon credit to or for Subtenant or anyone claiming under the
Subtenant, and that no mechanic’s or other liens for any such work, labor or materials shall attach
to or affect the estate or interest of the Sublandlord in and to the Ground Subleased Premises. If
any mechanic’s lien or notice or claim thereof is filed against the Ground Subleased Premises with
respect to work, labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to the Subtenant, or anyone
claiming under the Subtenant, the Subtenant shall within thirty (30) days from the date of filing,
cause the same to be withdrawn, discharged or removed by deposit, bonding proceedings or
otherwise. If the Subtenant fails to do so, the Sublandlord may do so and may pay any judgments
recovered by any such lienor. Subtenant shall promptly reimburse the Sublandlord for all amounts
paid pursuant to this paragraph, which amounts shall constitute an additional obligation of the
Subtenant under this Ground Lease, and which shall constitute a default by Subtenant if not
reimbursed within thirty (30) days following written demand therefor.
ARTICLE 6 - ENCUMBRANCE OF LEASEHOLD ESTATE
Section 6.1 Tenant’s Right to Encumber; Recognized Mortgagee.
6.1.1. Rights and Obligations of Subtenant.
(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 6.1, Subtenant may, at any time,
and from time to time during the Term, obtain and shall be entitled to all proceeds of, financing
(including interim, permanent, capital improvements and equity) for the MOB and Subtenant’s
interest in this Sublease, and Subtenant shall have the right, without Sublandlord’s consent, to
Page 214 of 329
26
encumber all or any portion of its interest in this Sublease and the leasehold estate and all attendant
and appurtenant rights including, without limitation, any loan obtained by Subtenant or its direct
or indirect constituents to provide financing for the MOB and Subtenant’s interest in this Sublease,
whether for construction or otherwise, which is secured by direct or indirect equity interests in
Subtenant (collectively, the “Leasehold Interest”) and Subtenant’s fee interest in the MOB
(subject to the reversionary rights in favor or Sublandlord as set forth in Section 2.5) by deed of
trust, mortgage or other security instrument or any direct or indirect pledges of ownership interest
in Subtenant (collectively, “Leasehold Mortgage”), including as part of a portfolio or cross-
collateralized financing, provided that for any portfolio financing, the amount in the applicable
loan documents allocable to the MOB under the Leasehold Mortgage in effect at any one time
shall not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of Subtenant’s interests in the
Ground Subleased Premises (the fair market value utilized by the applicable lender automatically
being deemed to be a reasonable fair market value) as of the closing of the financing for which
such Leasehold Mortgage is being provided. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the
contrary, Subtenant may not obtain financing from, or grant a Leasehold Mortgage to, a
Competitor. Additionally, Sublandlord acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise set forth
in the Master Landlord Recognition Agreement, any Leasehold Mortgage under this Sublease will
not constitute a “Leasehold Mortgage” as defined in the Master Ground Lease, and that
Mortgagee (as defined below) will not constitute a “Leaseholder Mortgagee” as defined in the
Master Ground Lease. The Master Landlord Recognition Agreement shall be recorded in the
applicable land records immediately after the Memorandum (as such term is defined below).
(b) Subtenant covenants and agrees to pay the indebtedness secured by
any Leasehold Mortgage entered into in compliance with the provisions hereof, when the same
shall become due and payable, and to perform, when such performance is required, all obligations
of the mortgagor thereunder. Subtenant further agrees not to suffer or permit any default to occur
and continue under any Leasehold Mortgage. The Leasehold Mortgage shall specify that the
indebtedness is that of Subtenant only and is not the indebtedness of Sublandlord and is limited to
the Leasehold Interest and Subtenant’s fee interest in the MOB (subject to the reversionary rights
in favor of Sublandlord as set forth in Section 2.5) and any rights granted under the Master
Landlord Recognition Agreement. Said Leasehold Mortgage must, by its own terms, have a stated
maturity date which is prior to expiration of the Term and may include extensions covering all or
part of an Extended Term that become exercisable upon the exercise thereof, and Subtenant
covenants that it will be so paid and that the Leasehold Interest will be released from such lien
prior to the expiration of the Term or any Extended Term, as applicable, or the earlier termination
of this Sublease (for any reason). Subtenant shall cause a true, complete and correct copy of the
original of each Leasehold Mortgage, together with written notice containing the name and address
of the holder thereunder (the “Mortgagee”), to be delivered to Sublandlord promptly following
Subtenant’s execution and delivery of such Leasehold Mortgage to the Mortgagee and the
recordation and return of such Leasehold Mortgage. Subtenant shall, from time to time, but not
more than one (1) time per calendar year, when and as requested by Sublandlord in writing, deliver
to Sublandlord a certificate from the Mortgagee or Subtenant certifying as to the amount of the
unpaid principal balance under the Leasehold Mortgage held by such Mortgagee, together with
accrued interest thereon, and, to the actual knowledge of the Mortgagee or Subtenant, as to the
existence or absence of defaults thereunder.
6.1.2. Rights and Obligations of Master Landlord and Sublandlord.
Page 215 of 329
27
(a) Master Landlord will not be required to pledge its fee interest in the
Master Ground Leased Premises to secure any Leasehold Mortgage or to subordinate such fee
interest to the rights of the Mortgagee except as may be set forth in the Master Ground Lease or
Master Landlord Recognition Agreement, and Master Landlord will not be required to execute any
promissory note or to assume in any manner any liability on the Mortgage.
(b) Sublandlord will not be required to pledge its leasehold interest in
the Master Ground Leased Premises to secure any Leasehold Mortgage or to subordinate such
leasehold interest to the rights of the Mortgagee, and Sublandlord will not be required to execute
any promissory note or to assume in any manner any liability on the Mortgage.
Section 6.2 Rights of Mortgagee. Subject to the terms of this Sublease, a Mortgagee
may enforce its rights under its Leasehold Mortgage and acquire title to the Leasehold Interest and
Subtenant’s fee simple interest in the MOB encumbered by the Leasehold Mortgage (said estates
being collectively called the “Leasehold Mortgage Property”) and exercise any rights available
to it under the Master Landlord Recognition Agreement, in any lawful way, including possession
through foreclosure, assignment and/or deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, and upon
foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage or acceptance of an assignment and/or deed in lieu of
foreclosure and issuance of a certificate of title to the leasehold estate, take possession of the
Leasehold Mortgage Property. Sublandlord hereby disclaims any contractual and/or statutory liens
and rights of distraint with respect to any personalty from time to time located within or upon the
Ground Subleased Premises, and hereby subordinates to any Leasehold Mortgage any such lien or
security interest which Sublandlord may have in any such personalty. Sublandlord agrees to
execute and deliver such instruments (which instruments must be in a form reasonably acceptable
to Sublandlord) to evidence or confirm this subordination as may be reasonably requested by
Subtenant’s lender.
Section 6.3 Recognized Mortgagee Protections.
6.3.1. Notices to Recognized Mortgagee. The holder of any Leasehold
Mortgage may give notice to Sublandlord of the name and address of such holder (such holder of
the Leasehold Mortgage is sometimes referred to herein as a “Recognized Mortgagee”) in the
manner provided in this Sublease, and if such notice is given, Sublandlord shall give to such
Recognized Mortgagee a copy of each notice of default under this Sublease given by Sublandlord
to Subtenant (the “Sublandlord Notice”) at the same time as and whenever any such Sublandlord
Notice shall thereafter be given by Sublandlord to Subtenant, addressed to such Recognized
Mortgagee at its address last furnished to Sublandlord. No such notice by Sublandlord to
Subtenant hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until a copy thereof has
been served on such Recognized Mortgagee in the manner provided in this Sublease.
6.3.2. Sublandlord Obligations.
(a) Sublandlord agrees that it will not accept the surrender of the
Ground Subleased Premises by Subtenant prior to the termination of this Sublease which
materially alters the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, or consent to the modification
of any material term of the Sublease or consent to the termination thereof by Subtenant, without
the prior written approval of a Recognized Mortgagee, in each instance, which approval shall not
Page 216 of 329
28
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that if a Recognized
Mortgagee fails to respond within thirty (30) days following the giving of a written request for
approval, then such Recognized Mortgagee will be deemed to have approved such request.
Sublandlord further agrees that it will not seek to terminate this Sublease or Subtenant’s right of
possession thereunder by reason of any act or omission of Subtenant until:
(i) Sublandlord has given to the Recognized Mortgagee a copy
of the Sublandlord Notice with respect to the Subtenant default upon which the proposed
termination is based;
(ii) after the expiration of all applicable notice and grace periods
set forth under the Sublease with respect to such default (a “Lease Default”), Sublandlord shall
have given written notice to the Recognized Mortgagee (the “Mortgagee Notice”) of the failure
of Subtenant to cure such Lease Default. The Mortgagee Notice shall be sent by certified mail,
return receipt requested or by a nationally recognized commercial overnight delivery service to the
address set forth above (or to such other address or in such other manner as may hereinafter be
designated in writing to Sublandlord by the Recognized Mortgagee); and
(iii) a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed following the
receipt of the Mortgagee Notice, during which period the Recognized Mortgagee shall have the
right, but shall not be obligated, to remedy such Lease Default, Sublandlord agreeing to accept any
such remedy by the Recognized Mortgagee as if the same had been performed by Subtenant.
As used herein, a reasonable period of time shall be (A) twenty (20) days as to any failure
to pay rent, Taxes, or Utilities as such sums are specified in the Sublandlord Notice, (B) as to
defaults other than those specified in (A), forty-five (45) days if such Lease Default can be
remedied during such forty-five (45) day period, or (C) if such Lease Default cannot be remedied
during such forty-five (45) day period, then such period of time as is necessary to remedy such
Lease Default, provided the Recognized Mortgagee has commenced to cure such Lease Default
within such forty-five (45) day period and continues to diligently prosecute the same.
(b) Sublandlord will accept performance by any such Recognized
Mortgagee of any covenant, condition or agreement on Subtenant’s part to be performed hereunder
with the same force and effect as though performed by Subtenant.
(c) The time of the Recognized Mortgagee to cure any Lease Default
by Subtenant which reasonably requires that said Recognized Mortgagee be in possession of the
Leasehold Mortgage Property to do so, or the time for a Recognized Mortgagee to obtain
Subtenant’s interest in the Leasehold Mortgage Property in order to elect to enter into a new lease
with Sublandlord as provided in subsection (d) below, shall be deemed extended to include the
period of time reasonably required by said Recognized Mortgagee to obtain such possession or
obtain Subtenant’s interest in the Leasehold Mortgage Property (by foreclosure or otherwise) with
best efforts; provided, however, that such Recognized Mortgagee shall have delivered to
Sublandlord its written commitment to cure outstanding Lease Defaults reasonably requiring
possession of the Leasehold Mortgage Property (which commitment may be revoked by
Recognized Mortgagee by written notice to Sublandlord, in which case the terms of subsection (d)
Page 217 of 329
29
below shall apply); and further provided, however, that during such period all other obligations of
Subtenant under this Sublease are being duly performed.
(d) If this Sublease is terminated or if the Subtenant’s right of
possession is terminated for any reason, other than termination following a Recognized
Mortgagee’s failure to cure a default as permitted in this Section 6.3, or in the event of the rejection
or disaffirmance of this Sublease pursuant to bankruptcy laws or other laws affecting creditors’
rights, Sublandlord shall execute and deliver a new ground sublease of the Ground Subleased
Premises to the Recognized Mortgagee, or any designated affiliate of Recognized Mortgagee
(other than a Competitor), or any servicer selected by Recognized Mortgagee, within thirty (30)
days after the request of the Recognized Mortgagee, subject to the requirements of this Subsection
6.3.2(d). The new ground sublease shall be effective as of the date of termination, rejection or
disaffirmance of this Sublease and shall be upon the same terms and provisions contained in this
Sublease (including the amount of the rent and other sums due from Subtenant hereunder as well
as Sublandlord’s reversionary rights set forth in Section 2.5 hereof). In order to obtain a new
ground sublease, a Recognized Mortgagee must make a written request to Sublandlord for the new
ground sublease within thirty (30) days after the Recognized Mortgagee is notified, by a court
order or otherwise by Sublandlord, of the date of termination, rejection or disaffirmance of the
Sublease, as the case may be. In addition, as of the execution of the new ground sublease, the
Recognized Mortgagee must cure all defaults under the Sublease and pay to Sublandlord all rent
and other sums that would have been due and payable by Subtenant under this Sublease (save and
except for penalties and late fees) but for the rejection, disaffirmance or termination. Sublandlord
agrees that upon the written request by any Recognized Mortgagee to Sublandlord, Sublandlord
shall provide such Recognized Mortgagee a reasonably detailed listing in writing of the then
defaults under this Sublease. If Sublandlord and Recognized Mortgagee enter into a new ground
sublease pursuant to this Article and if, for any reason, this Sublease has not been previously
terminated, then this Sublease shall be deemed terminated. The provisions of this subsection (d)
are a separate and independent contract made by Sublandlord and each Recognized Mortgagee.
Simultaneous with the execution of the new ground sublease contemplated hereunder, Sublandlord
shall convey by quitclaim deed and assignment any of Sublandlord’s right, title and interest in and
to the MOB and other improvements located on the Ground Subleased Premises, together with
subleases to any subtenant to Recognized Mortgagee.
6.3.3. Recognized Mortgagee Rights to Enforce. The provisions of this
Section 6.3 are for the benefit of each Recognized Mortgagee and may be relied upon and shall be
enforceable by each Recognized Mortgagee and their respective successors and assigns. Neither
a Recognized Mortgagee nor any other holder or owner of the indebtedness secured by a Leasehold
Mortgage or otherwise shall be liable upon the covenants, agreements or obligations of Subtenant
contained in this Sublease, unless and until such Recognized Mortgagee or that holder or owner
acquires the interest of Subtenant, and then only to the extent set forth in this Section 6.3.
Sublandlord and Subtenant agree to execute such documentation reasonably requested by a
Recognized Mortgagee consistent with the terms and provisions of this Article 6.
6.3.4. Recognized Mortgagee Priority. Anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall inure only to the benefit of all
Recognized Mortgagees and their respective successors and assigns. If more than one such
Mortgagee (one such Mortgagee being intended to include multiple mortgagees holding a single
Page 218 of 329
30
mortgage or deed of trust) shall make written requests upon Sublandlord for a new ground sublease
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the new ground sublease shall be entered into
pursuant to the request of the Recognized Mortgagee whose Leasehold Mortgage shall be prior in
lien thereto and thereupon the written requests for a new ground sublease of each person junior in
priority shall be and be deemed to be void and of no force and effect.
Section 6.4 Other Miscellaneous Provisions Concerning Leasehold Mortgages.
6.4.1. Sublandlord Termination Rights. In the event that an Event of Default on
the part of Subtenant shall have occurred and shall remain in existence beyond the expiration of
any applicable notice and/or cure periods set forth herein, but further subject to any notice and
curative rights in favor of Subtenant and the rights of any Recognized Mortgagee as provided
hereunder, Sublandlord shall be entitled to terminate this Sublease in accordance with Section 13.2.
6.4.2. Sublandlord Notice. If (a) the outstanding principal balance of any loan
entered into by Subtenant and secured by a Leasehold Mortgage increases (expressly excluding
any disbursements under any such loan for capital repairs, tenant improvement allowances, leasing
commissions, the funding of reserves, protective advances, or for similar purposes, or interest that
becomes capitalized), or (b) Subtenant refinances any Leasehold Mortgage, Subtenant will notify
Sublandlord in writing of the occurrence thereof. Any such notice will provide the following
information (as applicable): (i) the amount of the increase, and/or (ii) the length of the refinanced
term. In the event the Mortgagee under any Leasehold Mortgage changes, Subtenant must provide
written notice of the name of the new Mortgagee to Sublandlord promptly upon Subtenant having
actual knowledge of such change.
6.4.3. Sublandlord Rights to Enforce. The provisions of this Section 6.4 are for
the benefit of Sublandlord and may be relied upon and shall be enforceable by Sublandlord.
Neither Sublandlord nor its successors or assigns shall be liable upon the covenants, agreements
or obligations of Subtenant contained in any Leasehold Mortgage by virtue of the exercise of any
rights set forth in this Section 6.4.
6.4.4. Sublandlord Consent to Leasehold Mortgage. At Subtenant’s request,
Sublandlord shall execute a written agreement with a Recognized Mortgagee in which Sublandlord
agrees that it consents to the granting of the Leasehold Mortgage and that Sublandlord will not
disturb the tenancy of the Recognized Mortgagee (its successors or assigns and any subsequent
purchaser) following the date such Recognized Mortgagee becomes the Subtenant under the
Sublease, subject to the terms and provisions of this Sublease. Additionally, Sublandlord shall
execute such other documentation reasonably requested to confirm the rights of a Recognized
Mortgagee hereunder; provided, under no circumstances shall Sublandlord be responsible for the
payment of the debt secured by the Leasehold Mortgage, and in no event will Sublandlord’s
reversionary interest in the MOB, Sublandlord’s leasehold interest in the Master Ground Leased
Premises, or Master Landlord’s fee interest in the Master Ground Leased Premises, be subject or
subordinate to the lien of the Leasehold Mortgage. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, upon Subtenant’s or any leasehold mortgagee’s or prospective leasehold mortgagee’s
request, Sublandlord shall enter into and deliver to Subtenant and such leasehold mortgagee or
prospective leasehold mortgagee (and its administrative agent, as applicable) a recognition
Page 219 of 329
31
agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H”, to be effective upon such leasehold
mortgagee or prospective leasehold mortgagee becoming a Recognized Mortgagee.
6.4.5. Applicability of Sublandlord’s Consent Right and Right of First Refusal;
Transfers to Competitors. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Sublease to the
contrary, if a Recognized Mortgagee (or its affiliate) acquires the interest of the Subtenant in this
Sublease by way of a foreclosure, foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the acquisition of
the Subtenant’s interest by the Recognized Mortgagee (or its affiliate) shall not be subject to
Sublandlord’s prior written consent, as set forth in Section 10.1, or to the Right of First Refusal or
the Right of First Offer (each as defined below), as granted in Section 10.4 below, but such transfer
shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer to a Competitor as provided for in Section 10.1;
provided, further, the subsequent transfer of the Subtenant’s interest by the Recognized Mortgagee
(or its affiliate) shall be subject to the applicable provisions regarding such transfer set forth in
Article 10, and shall be subject to the Right of First Refusal as provided for in Section 10.4, as
well as to the restrictions on transfers to a Competitor as provided for in Section 10.1. In addition,
if Subtenant receives an unsolicited offer from an unrelated third party for the sale or transfer of
Subtenant’s interest (an “Unsolicited Offer”), the sale or transfer of Subtenant’s interest shall be
subject to the Right of First Refusal and the restrictions on transfer to a Competitor as provided
for in Section 10.1.
6.4.6. Sublandlord’s Right to Encumber Fee Interest. Subtenant acknowledges
and agrees that Sublandlord may enter into a mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter
encumbering the Sublandlord’s ground leasehold interest in the Ground Subleased Premises
(“Sublandlord Mortgage”) and that the Master Landlord Recognition Agreement shall govern
the relationship between the Sublandlord Mortgagee (defined below) and the Leasehold
Mortgagee; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not enter into any Sublandlord Mortgage
unless such Sublandlord Mortgage is expressly declared in writing to be in all respects, and such
Sublandlord Mortgage shall in all respects be, subject and subordinate to this Sublease and the
Master Landlord Recognition Agreement and all right, title, option, interest, remedy and privilege
of Subtenant and any Recognized Mortgagee under this Sublease and the applicable leasehold
mortgagee or holder of such Sublandlord Mortgage (“Sublandlord Mortgagee”) enters into a
subordination and non-disturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Subtenant and any
Recognized Mortgagee. Sublandlord shall provide a true, correct and complete copy of any
Sublandlord Mortgage to Subtenant within a reasonable timeframe after execution thereof. In the
event of a foreclosure of any Sublandlord Mortgage or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure, Subtenant
must attorn to the party acquiring leasehold title to the Ground Subleased Premises as the result of
such foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure. Subtenant covenants and agrees, upon request
of Sublandlord, and subject to the approval of any Recognized Mortgagee, to execute such
documents as may be necessary or appropriate to confirm and establish this Sublease as
subordinate to any Sublandlord Mortgage in accordance with the foregoing provisions (including,
without limitation, such Sublandlord Mortgagee’s form of subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Subtenant). Alternatively, Subtenant
covenants and agrees that, at the option of any Sublandlord Mortgagee, Subtenant must execute
documents as may be necessary to establish this Sublease and Subtenant’s interest in the Ground
Subleased Premises as superior to any such Sublandlord Mortgage within 10 days after Subtenant’s
receipt thereof. If any Sublandlord Mortgagee or purchaser at foreclosure thereof, succeeds to the
interest of Sublandlord in the Ground Subleased Premises, such person will not be (i) liable for
Page 220 of 329
32
any act or omission of Sublandlord under this Sublease; (ii) liable for the performance of
Sublandlord’s covenants hereunder which arise prior to such person succeeding to the interest of
Sublandlord hereunder; (iii) [intentionally omitted]; (iv) liable for any security deposit which was
not delivered to such person; or (v) bound by any modifications to this Sublease to which such
Sublandlord Mortgagee has not consented in writing. If any Sublandlord Mortgagee requires a
modification of this Sublease, which modification will not bring about any increased cost or
expense to Subtenant or will not in any other way substantially change the rights and obligations
of Subtenant hereunder, then and in such event, Subtenant agrees, subject to the approval of any
Recognized Mortgagee, to cooperate with Sublandlord in connection therewith (including, without
limitation, executing and delivering amendments to this Sublease). Subtenant must comply with
the provisions of any Sublandlord Mortgage entered into by Sublandlord for the benefit of its
Sublandlord Mortgagee that limit the rights of Sublandlord and Subtenant to amend the provisions
of this Sublease, but only to the extent such Subleasehold Mortgage has been provided to
Subtenant.
6.4.7. Leasehold Mortgage Defaults and Foreclosure. Any Recognized
Mortgagee agrees that it shall not exercise any of its remedies against Subtenant under a Leasehold
Mortgage for a given default unless: (a) Recognized Mortgagee has given Sublandlord a copy of
the notice of default, and (b) Sublandlord shall have the option, but not the obligation, to cure said
default within the time frames afforded Subtenant under the Leasehold Mortgage. Recognized
Mortgagee agrees to accept performance and compliance by Sublandlord of and with any term,
covenant agreement, provision, condition or limitation on Sublandlord’s part to be kept, observed
or performed by Subtenant. In addition, Recognized Mortgagee hereby agrees to give Sublandlord
a copy of any written notice of default by Subtenant under the Leasehold Mortgage. A Recognized
Mortgagee shall provide Sublandlord written notice of institution of the foreclosure proceedings
or, if applicable, written notice that it has decided to accept an assignment of the Sublease in lieu
of foreclosure (each of such notices being referred to herein as the “Foreclosure Notice”), after
expiration of thirty (30) days from delivery of the Foreclosure Notice, a Recognized Mortgagee
shall be permitted, at its sole option, to complete the foreclosure or obtain the Leasehold Interest
by assignment in lieu of foreclosure, and, after acquiring the Leasehold Interest to assign or
otherwise transfer the Leasehold Interest pursuant to the terms of this Sublease.
ARTICLE 7 – MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; MANAGEMENT
Section 7.1 Maintenance and Repair of Ground Subleased Premises. Subtenant
agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, maintain, repair and replace, or cause such to be
done, to the Ground Subleased Premises, MOB and any other improvements thereon and
appurtenances thereto and every part thereof, including without limitation all landscaping therein,
in good order, condition and repair and in accordance in all material respects with all applicable
laws, rules, ordinances, orders and regulations of all governmental authorities. In the event any
items required to be made under the provisions of this Sublease are not made within thirty (30)
days after written notice from Sublandlord to do so, then Sublandlord may, at its option, so long
as Subtenant is not then diligently pursuing a cure thereof, enter upon said Ground Subleased
Premises and repair or replace the same, and in such event Subtenant shall not be deemed to be in
default under this Sublease, but the cost and expense of such items, with interest at the rate equal
to the lesser of (a) eight percent (8%) per year, or (b) the maximum rate then allowed by law (such
Page 221 of 329
33
lesser rate, the “Default Rate”), shall be due and paid by Subtenant as additional rent to
Sublandlord within thirty (30) days following written demand.
Section 7.2 Emergency Repairs or Replacements. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 7.1, in the event of an emergency in which the applicable repair or replacement is
required to avoid the imminent threat of (i) loss or impairment of life, (ii) severe personal injury,
or (iii) material damage to the structural integrity of the MOB, Sublandlord, at its option, may,
after reasonable prior notice to Subtenant under the applicable circumstances, enter on the Ground
Subleased Premises to effect repairs and replacements needed as described in Section 7.1 as a
result of such emergency or any other reasonable emergency. The cost and expense of such repairs
and replacements, together with interest at the Default Rate shall be due and paid by Subtenant to
Sublandlord within thirty (30) days following written demand as additional rent due hereunder.
Section 7.3 Management. Except as set forth in the MOB Leases, the day to day
operation and management of the MOB shall be performed by Subtenant or its Affiliates or a
property management company determined by Subtenant. Any third party non-affiliate selected
by Subtenant who will provide management services for the MOB must be approved by
Sublandlord, which approval shall not be withheld, conditioned or delayed if such proposed
manager (or the principals thereof) has experience in the management of medical office buildings
and has a good business reputation, it being acknowledged and agreed that (i) Remedy Medical
Properties, Inc., as the initial property manager for the MOB, is deemed approved by Sublandlord,
and (ii) Sublandlord’s approval of any proposed successor property manager shall not be required
if Subtenant proposes to engage a reputable, national or regional, third party non-affiliate property
manager which, together with its affiliates, operates not less than five hundred thousand (500,000)
square feet of medical office buildings or other health care facilities and has at least ten (10) years’
experience operating medical office buildings or other health care facilities (an “Approved
Property Manager”). Normal and customary property management fees not to exceed four
percent (4%) of gross revenues, and salaries, fringe benefits, payroll taxes and related direct costs
for on-site building manager and building engineer shall be included as pass through expenses
under all tenant leases, except as otherwise set forth in the MOB Leases. In the event that the
property manager for the Ground Subleased Premises fails in any material respect to operate the
Ground Subleased Premises in accordance with the requirements of this Sublease, then, at the
election of Sublandlord following written notice to Subtenant, Subtenant and Sublandlord shall
discuss and mutually agree upon any applicable remediation and/or replacement efforts.
ARTICLE 8- MECHANICS’ LIENS
Section 8.1 Prohibition of Liens on Fee or Leasehold Interest. Subject to
Section 6.1 and unless removed as set forth in Section 8.2, Subtenant shall not suffer, create or
permit any mechanic’s liens or other liens (other than liens for taxes and assessments not yet due
or payable, if any) to be filed against the fee of the Ground Subleased Premises nor against
Subtenant’s leasehold interest in the land, nor any buildings or improvements on the Ground
Subleased Premises, by reason of any work, labor, services or materials supplied or claimed to
have been supplied to Subtenant or anyone holding the Ground Subleased Premises or any part
thereof through or under Subtenant (expressly excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any
mechanic’s liens or other liens filed against the Ground Subleased Premises or any portion thereof
Page 222 of 329
34
by or on account of the acts or omissions of any Sublandlord Representative). The Memorandum
of Lease shall contain a reference to this provision.
Section 8.2 Removal of Liens by Subtenant. If any such mechanic’s or laborer’s
liens or materialman’s lien shall be recorded against the Ground Subleased Premises, or any
improvements thereof due to the performance of work requested by Subtenant, within thirty (30)
days after notice of the filing thereof, or fifteen (15) days after Subtenant is served with a complaint
to foreclose said lien or Sublandlord advises Subtenant in writing that Sublandlord has been served
with such a complaint, whichever is earlier, Subtenant shall cause such lien to be removed, or will
transfer the lien to bond pursuant to applicable law. If Subtenant in good faith desires to contest
any such lien, Subtenant shall be privileged to do so, but in such case Subtenant hereby agrees to
indemnify and save Sublandlord harmless from all liability for damages, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs, occasioned thereby and shall, in the event of a judgment of foreclosure
upon any mechanic’s lien, cause the same to be discharged and removed prior to the execution of
such judgment. Sublandlord may, in its sole discretion, require that any such lien be removed or
bonded over as a condition precedent to Subtenant’s privilege to contest any lien.
ARTICLE 9 - CONDEMNATION
Section 9.1 Interests of Parties on Condemnation. If the Ground Subleased
Premises or any part thereof shall be taken for public purpose by condemnation as a result of any
action or proceeding in eminent domain, or shall be transferred in lieu of condemnation to any
authority entitled to exercise the power of eminent domain, the interests of Sublandlord and
Subtenant in the award or consideration for such transfer, and the allocation of the award and the
other effect of the taking or transfer upon this Sublease, shall be as provided by this Article 9 and
subject to the terms of any Leasehold Mortgage.
Section 9.2 Total Taking - Termination. If the entire Ground Subleased Premises is
taken or so transferred, this Sublease and all of the right, title and interest thereunder shall cease,
terminate and be of no further force or effect on the date title to such land so taken or transferred
vests in the condemning authority.
Section 9.3 Partial Taking - Termination. In the event of (i) the taking or transfer
of only a part of the Ground Subleased Premises or the Master Ground Leased Premises, leaving
the remainder of the Ground Subleased Premises or the Master Ground Leases Premises in such
location, or in such form, shape or reduced size as to be not effectively and practicably usable in
the good faith opinion of Subtenant for the operation thereon of Subtenant’s business in an
economically feasible manner, taking into consideration the effect, if any, of such taking on the
availability of parking proximately located to the MOB and utilities to the MOB, or (ii) any taking
or transfer of only a part of the Ground Subleased Premises or the Master Ground Leased Premises
pursuant to which Sublandlord has the right to terminate the MOB Leases in effect immediately
prior to such partial taking or transfer (unless Sublandlord irrevocably waives such termination
right) and/or tenants comprising more than 25% of the then-current occupancy of the MOB
exercise their pre-existing rights to terminate their respective leases, then this Sublease and all
right, title and interest thereunder may be terminated by Subtenant giving, within sixty (60) days
of the occurrence of such event, thirty (30) days’ notice to Sublandlord of Subtenant’s intention to
terminate.
Page 223 of 329
35
Section 9.4 Partial Taking - Continuation with Rent Abatement. In the event of
(i) the taking or transfer of only a part of the Ground Subleased Premises leaving the remainder of
the premises in such location and in such form, shape or size as to be used effectively and
practicably in the good faith opinion of Subtenant for the purpose of operation thereon of
Subtenant’s business in an economically feasible manner and (ii) so long as the MOB Leases, if in
effect immediately prior to such partial taking or transfer, shall remain in full force and effect
following such partial taking or transfer (and so long as Sublandlord shall have waived any
applicable termination right under the MOB Leases), and/or tenants comprising 25% or less of the
then-current occupancy of the MOB exercise their pre-existing rights to terminate their respective
leases, then this Sublease shall terminate only as to the portion of the Ground Subleased Premises
so taken or transferred as of the date title to such portion vests in the condemning authority, and
shall continue in full force and effect as to the portion of the Ground Subleased Premises not so
taken or transferred. From and after such date the rental required to be paid by Subtenant shall be
reduced in proportion to which the square footage of the area so taken or transferred bears to the
total square footage of the Ground Subleased Premises.
Section 9.5 Partial Taking - Award. If title and possession of a portion of the Ground
Subleased Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain, and the Sublease continues as to
the portion remaining, all compensation and damages (“Compensation”) payable to Subtenant by
reason of any improvements so taken shall be used, subject to the rights of any Leasehold
Mortgagee, to the extent reasonably needed, by Subtenant in replacing any improvements so taken
with improvements of the same type as the remaining portion of the Ground Subleased Premises.
If the Compensation payable to Subtenant and which is permitted to be used by each Leasehold
Mortgagee to restore the MOB shall be less than the cost of restoration of the MOB, Subtenant
shall pay such deficiency at its sole cost and expense. All plans and specifications for such
replacement and improvements shall be subject to Sublandlord’s reasonable prior approval, which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and all such repairs shall be
in compliance with all then existing codes, zoning ordinances, rules and regulations governing the
Ground Subleased Premises.
Section 9.6 Allocation of Award.
9.6.1. Value of Interests in Ground Subleased Premises. Any Compensation
awarded or payable because of the taking of all or any portion of the Ground Subleased Premises
by eminent domain shall be awarded in accordance with the values of the respective interests in
the Ground Subleased Premises and all improvements thereon immediately prior to the taking.
The value of Sublandlord’s interest in the Ground Subleased Premises and all improvements
thereon immediately prior to a taking shall include the then value of its interest in the Ground
Subleased Premises prior to the Expiration Date of this Sublease, Rent payable under this Sublease,
together with the value of its reversionary interest in the MOB and any other improvements located
on the Ground Subleased Premises (including, without limitation, utility connections) after the
Expiration Date (including all Extended Terms under Section 2.4). The value of Subtenant’s
interest in the Ground Subleased Premises and improvements immediately prior to a taking shall
include the then value of its interest in the Ground Subleased Premises and improvements for the
remainder of the Term of this Sublease (including all Extended Terms under Section 2.4). Such
values shall be those determined in the proceeding relating to such taking or, if no separate
determination of the values is made in such proceeding, those determined by agreement between
Page 224 of 329
36
Sublandlord and Subtenant. If such agreement cannot be reached, such values shall be determined
by an appraiser or appraisers appointed in the manner provided in 9.6.2(b) below. The time of
taking shall mean 12:01 a.m. of, whichever shall first occur, the date of title or the date physical
possession of the portion of the Ground Subleased Premises on which the improvements are
located is taken by the taking agency or entity. In the event of separate awards, then such separate
awards shall be re-allocated between Sublandlord and Subtenant in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Section 9.6. To the extent any outstanding encumbrance or encumbrances
incurred by Subtenant under Article 6 of this Sublease exist, such encumbrance or encumbrances
shall be satisfied from Subtenant’s award or share of the award. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Sublease, Subtenant may appear in any taking proceeding or action to
negotiate, prosecute and adjust any claim for any award or compensation on account of any taking
as it relates to its interest in the Ground Subleased Premises, including the MOB, and Sublandlord
shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant with respect to any such proceeding.
9.6.2. Appraisal Process. For the purpose of determining the values pursuant to
Section 9.6.1 above, if Sublandlord and Subtenant cannot otherwise agree, Sublandlord and
Subtenant agree to employ and be bound by the results of the following appraisal process (the
“Appraisal Process”):
(a) Within thirty (30) days following the inability of Sublandlord and
Subtenant to agree on their respective values in Section 9.6.1 above, both Subtenant and
Sublandlord shall designate a nationally recognized competent, professionally qualified and
accredited MAI appraiser familiar with the values of medical office buildings in the market in
which the Ground Subleased Premises is located. Each of said appraisers shall forthwith,
independently, undertake an appraisal of Sublandlord and Subtenant’s values, taking into
consideration the terms of this Sublease, to determine the fair market value thereof. Each party
shall be responsible for the costs incurred with respect to the appraisal prepared on such party’s
behalf.
(b) If the values reflected in the higher of said appraisals does not
exceed the lower appraisal by more than ten percent (10%), the fair market value shall be the
average of the two appraisals.
(c) If the values of the higher of said two appraisals exceeds the lower
appraisal by more than ten percent (10%), then the two appraisers selected by the parties shall
promptly select a similarly qualified third appraiser who shall independently undertake an
appraisal of the values of Sublandlord and Subtenant to determine the fair market value thereof.
Upon conclusion of the third appraisal, the fair market value shall be the average of the two
appraisals from among the three that have the least or smallest difference between them. The cost
of the third appraisal shall be shared equally by Sublandlord and Subtenant.
(d) In the event either party fails to designate an appraiser within the
period specified above, and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice
is given to the party who has failed to designate an appraiser by the other party, then the fair market
value shall be calculated using the fair market value as determined by the appraiser appointed by
the party who did designate an appraiser.

37
Section 9.7 Voluntary Conveyance. A voluntary conveyance by Sublandlord to a
public utility, agency or authority under threat of a taking under the power of eminent domain in
lieu of formal proceedings shall be deemed a taking within the meaning of this Article 9.
ARTICLE 10 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE
Section 10.1 Limitation on Assignment and Subletting the Entire Premises.
(a) Except for leases of space in the MOB (which will not constitute an
Assignment (as defined below) and will be governed by Article 4 and Section 10.2) and Leasehold
Mortgages (which will not constitute an Assignment and will be governed by Article 6), and except
as otherwise expressly prohibited in this Sublease, Subtenant shall be permitted to sell, assign,
sublet, transfer, hypothecate, pledge, grant a security interest in, or convey this Sublease or the
leasehold estate created hereby (each, an “Assignment”), for purposes of security or otherwise,
without the prior written consent of Sublandlord. Subtenant shall not be permitted to enter into an
Assignment prior to Substantial Completion of the Improvements without the prior written consent
of Sublandlord, which consent Sublandlord may grant or withhold in Sublandlord’s sole and
absolute discretion, provided that any Assignment by Subtenant to an Affiliate of Subtenant shall
not require Sublandlord’s consent. Following the Substantial Completion of the Improvements,
Subtenant may not enter into an Assignment with any person or entity that is an Unqualified
Operator without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent Sublandlord may not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Sublease, upon an approved or permitted assignment of Subtenant’s entire interest in this
Sublease and the leasehold estate created hereby, Subtenant shall be released from any continuing
obligations under this Sublease, but shall remain fully liable for all of the terms, provisions,
covenants, conditions, indemnifications and obligations binding upon Subtenant under this
Sublease up to the date of assignment; provided that the foregoing release is expressly conditioned
upon such approved or permitted assignee assuming in writing the “Subtenant” obligations under
this Sublease. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Sublease, so long as the Sublandlord
Operation Condition shall remain satisfied, in no event may Subtenant enter into any Assignment
with (1) any person or entity (other than Sublandlord or Sublandlord’s affiliate) that (or has any
Affiliates that): (i) operates an acute care hospital, (ii) operates a sports medicine facility, (iii)
operates a diagnostic center, or (iv) operates an ambulatory surgery center, in each case for the
foregoing (i) – (iv) (any such hospital, facility or center described in such clauses (i) through (iv),
a “Competing Facility”), (v) is or has been engaged in material litigation with Sublandlord
(provided that notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, with respect to tenants
leasing space in the MOB, such tenants must only satisfy this clause (v) at such time as such
tenants’ leases are initially executed), or (vi) otherwise competes directly with Sublandlord in the
ownership and operation of other medical facilities providing health care services to patients that
are customarily provided in full-scale hospitals (each person or entity that satisfies any of the
foregoing in (i) through (v), a “Competitor”), or (2) any person or entity (other than Sublandlord,
Sublandlord’s Affiliate, or a Recognized Mortgagee) that lacks the institutional expertise and/or
experience to own and operate projects similar to the MOB (an “Unqualified Operator”).
(b) For the purposes of determining whether a person or entity is an
Unqualified Operator, Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that a person or entity
that individually or collectively with any affiliate of such person or entity, (x) owns not less than
Page 226 of 329
38
five hundred thousand (500,000) square feet of medical office buildings or other health care
facilities, (y) manages or operates not less than five hundred thousand (500,000) square feet of
medical office buildings or other health care facilities, or (z) engages an Approved Property
Manager, will be deemed to not be an Unqualified Operator.
(c) For the purposes of determining whether a person or entity is a
Competitor, Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that any bank, mortgage company,
pension plan, real estate investment trust, other institutional investor or other person or entity that
is primarily in the business of lending or investing, or developing, owning and/or managing
buildings (or any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate thereof) that are a Competitor under sub-
clauses (i) through (iv) of clause (1) of Section 10.1(a) shall not be deemed to be a Competitor
unless any of the following conditions are satisfied: such person or entity itself or through any
direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate (I) owns and operates an acute care hospital in the Denver
Metropolitan Area, or (II) owns and operates a Competing Facility located within Douglas County,
Colorado or within five (5) miles of the Ground Subleased Premises.
(d) In the event that Sublandlord consents (or is deemed to have
consented) to any sale, transfer, pledge, assignment, sublease, granting of a security interest in,
hypothecation or conveyance (including any Assignment) of this Sublease or any interest therein,
the related assignee, transferee, secured party or subtenant, as the case may be, shall be deemed
not to be a Competitor or Unqualified Operator.
(e) Sublandlord’s consent to any sale, transfer, pledge, assignment,
sublease, granting of a security interest, hypothecation or conveyance (including any Assignment)
requiring its consent shall be deemed to have been given in the event that (x) Sublandlord fails to
object in writing within fifteen (15) business days after Sublandlord’s receipt of written notice of
any such consent request, (y) Subtenant delivers to Sublandlord an additional written notice of
such consent request, prominently marked or identified on the notice itself and, if delivered via
United States mail or certified mail, on the outside of the envelope, containing the notice with the
legend, “SECOND NOTICE OF CONSENT REQUEST - FAILURE TO CONSENT WITHIN
FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS WILL RESULT IN DEEMED CONSENT UNDER THE
SUBLEASE”, and (z) Sublandlord fails to respond to such consent request within fifteen (15)
business days following Sublandlord’s receipt of such additional written notice. Any transfer,
sublease or assignment (including any Assignment) for which Sublandlord’s consent is not
obtained in violation of the terms of this Sublease shall be and be deemed to be void and of no
force and effect.
(f) Sublandlord’s failure to respond to any request by Subtenant for
confirmation of whether any person or entity is Active Medical Staff or satisfy any of the criteria
of a Competitor within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such request shall be deemed to
confirm that such person or entity is Active Medical Staff or is not a Competitor, as applicable.
Section 10.2 Leases to Tenants of the MOB. With respect to leases between
Subtenant and tenants of the MOB that are not affiliated with Sublandlord (“Non-affiliate
Leases”), the standard form lease to be utilized shall include the following lease provisions:
Page 227 of 329
39
(a) Each lease must incorporate all lease provisions referred to herein
which are expressly required to be included in any sublease of the Ground Subleased Premises,
including but not limited to the Prohibited Use restrictions, the Qualified Tenant requirements, and
the requirement that a Qualified Tenant shall maintain its status as such throughout the term of
such tenant’s lease, and the reversionary interest of Sublandlord in the MOB, and Subtenant shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such provisions.
(b) Each lease must provide that (i) the Qualified Tenant requirements
and the Prohibited Use restrictions are imposed on tenants of the MOB explicitly for the benefit
of Subtenant, as Sublandlord under the tenant lease, and Sublandlord, as a third party beneficiary,
(ii) Sublandlord may enforce these restrictions directly against a tenant upon Subtenant’s failure
to successfully enforce such restrictions following Subtenant’s use of commercially reasonable
efforts, and (iii) Sublandlord’s rights in the event of a breach of these restrictions by a tenant will
include the right to terminate the tenant lease, to seek preliminary, temporary and permanent
injunctive relief and to pursue other legal and/or equitable remedies as a result of such breach.
(c) Each lease will grant no greater parking rights than are granted under
this Sublease and the Ancillary Documents, as defined in Section 1.1 hereinabove.
(d) Each new lease and lease renewal after the Effective Date of this
Sublease shall include subordination b the tenant to this Sublease.
(e) Any default notices sent by Subtenant under any tenant lease for the
MOB must be sent to Sublandlord.
Each such Non-affiliate Lease shall provide that it will automatically terminate upon a
termination of this Sublease; provided, however, that Sublandlord agrees not to terminate any lease
where a written subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement is entered into between
Sublandlord and a tenant, in form reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Non-affiliate Lease will be required to automatically terminate upon a termination
of this Sublease if otherwise provided in this Sublease, or if (i) the Master Ground Lease terminates
and Landlord becomes the fee owner of the Real Property; or (ii) this Sublease terminates for any
reason and Subtenant becomes the Ground Lessee under the Master Ground Lease or the fee owner
of the Master Ground Leased Premises; and/or (iii) the Master Ground Lease terminates and this
Sublease survives, including if it becomes a direct ground lease, and/or (iv) this Sublease
terminates but a new replacement Ground Sublease is executed.
Section 10.3 Permitted Transfers to Affiliates. Subtenant, and Subtenant’s
shareholders, members, and owners, may not (in whole or in part) transfer their interest in the
MOB and/or this Sublease, or control of Subtenant; provided, however, that Subtenant and its
shareholders, members, and owners may transfer their interest in the MOB and/or this Sublease,
or control of Subtenant, to an Affiliate of Subtenant (an “Affiliate Transfer”), or following the
Substantial Completion of the Improvements (and prior to the Substantial Completion of the
Improvements Sublandlord’s consent will be required, which consent Sublandlord may grant or
withhold in Sublandlord’s sole and absolute discretion) which results from a merger or
consolidation of a direct or indirect owner of Subtenant or the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets, partnership or membership interests, or capital stock a direct or indirect owner of Subtenant
Page 228 of 329
40
without any Sublandlord consent, subject to the prohibition on the sale or transfer to a Competitor
or an Unqualified Operator for so long as the Sublandlord Operation Condition remains satisfied
(but subject to the deemed consent provisions set forth in Section 10.1). For purposes of this
Sublease, “Affiliate” when used with reference to a specific Party, shall mean any parent or
subsidiary of such Party or any other person entity, in each case which directly or indirectly,
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Party. For purposes of this
provision, “control” shall mean (i) the ownership or control of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
equity interest or membership interest in the entity in question; (ii) the ownership or control of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting rights of the entity in question, (iii) the power to appoint
or approve and remove fifty percent (50%) or more of the members of the entity in question’s
governing body (i.e., board of directors or other similar governing body), or (iv) the power, directly
or indirectly, to otherwise direct the management, policies or affairs of the entity in question,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract (including the holding of any veto
rights) or otherwise.
Section 10.4 Sublandlord’s Right of First Refusal. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.4.5, Subtenant may sell, convey or transfer its interest in this Sublease, the leasehold
estate, the MOB, and the personal property owned by Subtenant and located on the MOB and used
in the operation or management thereof (collectively, the “Property”), subject to and in
accordance with the terms of this Sublease. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1, in no
event may Subtenant sell its interest in the Property, or may any interest in Subtenant be sold, to a
Competitor. Except as specified herein in connection with an Affiliate Transfer or in Section 6.4.5,
in order to accept an offer, whether solicited or unsolicited, for transfer or sale of all or substantially
all of the Property (a “Transfer ”), Subtenant must first have offered the same to Sublandlord in
accordance with the following provisions.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4.5, Sublandlord shall have a recurring right of first
refusal (a “Right of First Refusal”) to purchase prior to Subtenant consummating any proposed
Transfer. Should Subtenant from time to time desire to Transfer (i) all or a portion of the Property,
(ii) an undivided interest in all or a portion of the Property, or (iii) control of Subtenant as a result
of a sale, transfer, or other conveyance of partnership or membership interests, or capital stock in
Subtenant to a third party that is not an Affiliate thereof or of Subtenant (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
are each the “Offered Property”), Subtenant shall furnish Sublandlord with a copy of a fully
executed letter of intent or term sheet (“Subtenant Transfer Notice”) certified by an officer of
Subtenant as being a bona fide, arms’ length transaction, which Subtenant Transfer Notice shall
set forth: (w) the length of the inspection period, if any; (x) a description of the Offered Property;
(y) the sales price therefor and the amount of earnest money required; and (z) any other material
financial conditions and financial terms upon which the Offered Property will be Transferred.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Subtenant Transfer Notice, Sublandlord shall notify
Subtenant in writing whether Sublandlord elects to purchase the Offered Property on the same
terms and conditions set forth in the Subtenant Transfer Notice (“Election Notice”). If the
Sublandlord provides an Election Notice electing to purchase the Offered Property, then the parties
shall proceed as provided in subsection 10.4.1 below. If Sublandlord does not provide an Election
Notice within such thirty (30) day period, Sublandlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to
deliver an Election Notice and Sublandlord’s preferential right to purchase shall not apply to any
Transfer of the Offered Property made within two hundred seventy (270) days after the Subtenant
Transfer Notice for a purchase price that is at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price
Page 229 of 329
41
set forth in the Subtenant Transfer Notice and upon such other material non-economic terms that
are not materially more favorable to the purchaser than those set forth in the Subtenant Transfer
Notice; provided, that if Subtenant fails to Transfer the Offered Property within such two hundred
seventy (270) day period for at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price set forth in
the Subtenant Transfer Notice and upon such material non-economic terms that are not materially
more favorable to the purchaser than those set forth in the Subtenant Transfer Notice, Subtenant
shall again submit to Sublandlord a Subtenant Transfer Notice with respect to such Offered
Property and Sublandlord shall again have a preferential right to purchase the Offered Property as
set forth herein. In the event that the Offered Property is an undivided interest in all or a portion
of the Property, then in connection with the closing of the sale of such Offered Property to
Sublandlord, Subtenant and Sublandlord shall enter into a mutually agreeable joint ownership
agreement setting forth the rights and obligations of the Sublandlord and Subtenant with regard to
the Property, including, but not limited to, cost sharing and maintenance. For the purposes of this
Section 10.4 and Section 10.5, “material non-economic terms” include terms such as (a) with
respect to terms in the originally signed contract for the Transfer of the Offered Property (but
expressly not including the waiver of any terms or obligations therein, any modifications or
amendments thereto, or any amendments and restatements thereof), the length of diligence periods
specified in the contract for the Transfer of the Offered Property and the timing for closing
specified in the contract for the Transfer of the Offered Property, and (b) required loan
assumptions, required acquisition by Sublandlord of other real estate owned by Subtenant (or an
Affiliate of Subtenant) that is not the Ground Subleased Premises, or required membership or
partnership interest assumptions, in each case which Subtenant is requiring as a condition to the
conveyance of the Ground Subleased Premises, provided, however, the parties acknowledge and
agree that “material non-economic terms” do not include terms such as (c) discretionary closing
or due diligence extensions, discretionary closing or due diligence accelerations, closing
deliverables, closing conditions, post-closing survival periods for indemnities, post-closing
survival periods for representations and warranties and any holdbacks, guarantees, or indemnitees
related to the same, and/or the discretionary waiver of any of the foregoing, and (d) with respect
the waiver of any terms or obligations set forth in a contract for the Transfer of the Offered
Property, any modifications or amendments thereto, or any amendments and restatements thereof,
the length of diligence periods and the timing for closing.
The Right of First Refusal contained in this Section shall apply to any subsequent Transfer
occurring while this Sublease is in effect; provided however, the foregoing Right of First Refusal
shall not be applicable to a transfer of the Property as a result of foreclosure or other action or
proceeding for the enforcement of a Leasehold Mortgage (or by deed in lieu thereof) given to a
Mortgagee in an arm’s-length transaction, but shall apply to any subsequent Transfer following
such foreclosure or other action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in this Sublease, the Right of First Refusal shall not apply if the Offered Property is contemplated
to be conveyed to an Affiliate of Subtenant.
10.4.1. Election to Purchase. Upon receipt of the Election Notice in which
Sublandlord elects to purchase the Offered Property on the same terms and conditions set forth in
the Subtenant Transfer Notice, the parties shall proceed to consummate the purchase and sale of
the Offered Property with a ninety (90) day due diligence period and a thirty (30) day period to
close thereafter; provided that such sale shall be for cash and by special warranty deed, “as is,
where is”, free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances other than those existing on the date

hereof, those created by or through or with the written consent of Sublandlord, or agreed to by the
parties on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Subtenant Transfer Notice, except as
otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties.
Section 10.5 Sublandlord’s Right of First Offer. Sublandlord shall have a recurring
right of first offer (a “Right of First Offer”) to elect to purchase the Offered Property if Subtenant
desires to Transfer the Offered Property. Should Subtenant from time to time elect to Transfer the
Offered Property, then prior to offering such Offered Property for Transfer to any third party,
Subtenant shall furnish Sublandlord with a written notice containing the price and material
financial terms and financial conditions upon which Subtenant is willing to Transfer the Offered
Property (“ROFO Notice”). Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the ROFO Notice, Sublandlord
shall notify Subtenant in writing whether Sublandlord elects to purchase the Offered Property on
the same terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice (“ROFO Election Notice”). If the
Sublandlord provides a ROFO Election Notice electing to purchase the Offered Property, then the
Parties shall proceed as provided below. If Sublandlord does not provide a ROFO Election Notice
within such thirty (30) day period, then Sublandlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to
deliver a ROFO Election Notice and Subtenant may accept an offer from a third party and proceed
with a Transfer of the Offered Property within two hundred seventy (270) days after Sublandlord’s
receipt of the ROFO Notice for a purchase price equal to or greater than ninety-five percent (95%)
of the price stated in the ROFO Notice and upon such material non-economic terms that are not
materially more favorable to the purchaser than those set forth in the ROFO Notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Subtenant fails to Transfer the Offered Property upon such
material non-economic terms that are not materially more favorable to the purchaser than those set
forth in the ROFO Notice within such two hundred seventy (270) day period, or (ii) if Subtenant
is willing to Transfer the Offered Property for a purchase price that is less than ninety-five percent
(95%) of that set forth in the ROFO Notice which was submitted to Sublandlord, then
Sublandlord’s rights under this Section will be automatically reinstated and Subtenant shall again
submit to Subtenant a ROFO Notice with respect to such Offered Property and Sublandlord shall
again have a preferential right to purchase the Offered Property as set forth herein. Upon receipt
of the ROFO Election Notice in which Sublandlord elects to purchase the Offered Property on the
same terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice, the Parties shall proceed to consummate
the purchase and sale of the Offered Property within ninety (90) days thereafter; provided that such
sale shall be for cash and by special warranty deed, “as is, where is”, free and clear of liens, claims
and encumbrances other than those existing on the date hereof created by or through or with the
consent of Sublandlord, or agreed to by the Parties on the same terms and conditions as set forth
in the ROFO Notice, except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties.
The Right of First Offer contained in this Section shall apply to any subsequent Transfer
occurring while this Sublease is in effect, provided however, the foregoing Right of First Offer
shall not be applicable to a transfer of the Property as a result of foreclosure or other action or
proceeding for the enforcement of a Leasehold Mortgage (or by deed in lieu thereof) given to a
Mortgagee in an arm’s-length transaction, but shall apply to any subsequent Transfer following
such foreclosure or other action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in this Sublease, the Right of First Refusal shall not apply if the Offered Property is contemplated
to be conveyed to an Affiliate of Subtenant.

Subleased Premises during the Term of this Sublease and any Extended Term; provided however,
that during the period of construction of the Improvements, Subtenant shall provide or cause to be

whether on-site, in transit or stored off-site, (y) soft costs, and (z) Ordinance or Laws coverage in
amounts reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, with replacement cost valuation and an agreed
amount endorsement or waiver of co-insurance. Such insurance policy or policies shall be stated
to be primary and noncontributing with any insurance which may be carried by Sublandlord. In
addition, the deductible for such insurance shall not exceed $25,000.00. A certificate of said
insurance shall be delivered to Sublandlord on the Sublease Commencement Date, to be effective
from and after the Sublease Commencement Date. Any renewal certificates and proof of payment
of premium therefor shall be delivered to Sublandlord prior to the renewal date of any such
insurance policies during the Term and any Extended Term. In the event Subtenant fails to timely

charge all costs and expenses thereof, including the premium and interest at the Default Rate, to
Page 232 of 329
44
Subtenant, to be paid by Subtenant as additional rent hereunder. Sublandlord shall have no

expense, the following insurance policies, all of which must be reasonably satisfactory to
Sublandlord in carrier, forms, amounts and coverage: (a) if Subtenant has any employees, (i) during
the construction of the Improvements, worker’s compensation as prescribed by applicable Law;
and (ii) Employers’ Liability insurance in an amount of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for
bodily injury and disease; covering all Subtenant employees working on or about the MOB (and a
waiver of subrogation will apply to all parties); (b) at all times during the Term, Automobile
liability insurance, including operation of “autos”, hired, or non-owned in an amount not less than
$1,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage, which must insure against any and all claims
for bodily injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to the property of others arising
from its operations under the contracts, whether such operations are performed by Subtenant,
Subtenant’s contractors, or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them (and a waiver
of subrogation will apply to all parties); (c) at all times during the Term, umbrella or excess liability
insurance following form to the general liability policy requirements listed above, in an amount
not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence, with a minimum aggregate limit of $10,000,000; and
(d) such other insurance coverages maintained by Subtenant, Subtenant’s Contractor, and any
subcontractors, in such forms and amounts as Sublandlord may request consistent with the
customary practices of prudent developers and owners of similar properties.
Section 11.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Sublandlord and Subtenant and all parties
claiming under them mutually release and discharge each other from all claims and liabilities
arising from or caused by any casualty or hazard covered or required hereunder to be covered in
whole or in part by the casualty and liability insurance to be carried on the MOB, the Ground
Subleased Premises or in connection with any improvements on or activities conducted on the
Ground Subleased Premises, and the MOB, and waive any right of subrogation which might
otherwise exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof, and evidence such waiver by
endorsement to the required insurance policies, provided that such release shall not operate in any
case where the effect is to invalidate or increase the cost of such insurance coverage (provided that
in the case of increased cost, the other party shall have the right, within thirty (30) days following
written notice, to pay such increased cost, thereby keeping such release and waiver in full force
and effect).
Section 11.5 Indemnification. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold
Sublandlord free and harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action,
liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, damages, losses or expenses (including, without limitation,

Sublandlord in connection with or arising from (a) any occurrence in, upon, at or about the Master
Ground Leased Premises; (b) the occupancy, use, construction upon and maintenance of the Master
Ground Leased Premises by Subtenant and its tenants, subtenants, guests and invitees, and any
party acting by, through or under any of them, but expressly excluding Sublandlord or
Sublandlord’s Representatives; (c) the operation of the business of Subtenant thereon; and (d) any
act or failure to act, occasioned wholly or in part by gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Subtenant and its agents, contractors, employees, and invitees, but expressly excluding
Sublandlord or Sublandlord’s Representatives. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
Page 233 of 329
45
make Subtenant liable for any injury or loss caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Sublandlord or any of Sublandlord’s Representatives, Sublandlord agreeing to
indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless therefrom.
ARTICLE 12 - DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
Section 12.1 Subtenant’s Duty to Restore Premises. At any time during the Term or
Extended Term(s) of this Sublease, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, if any
buildings or improvements now or hereafter on the Ground Subleased Premises are damaged
and/or destroyed in whole or in part by fire, theft, the elements, or any other cause, and such
damage or destruction does not constitute a Major Casualty, this Sublease shall continue in full
force and effect, and Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall repair and restore the damaged
or destroyed MOB and related improvements according to the original plan hereof or according to
such modified plans as shall be reasonably approved in writing by Sublandlord so long as (i) leases
with tenants (including Sublandlord) comprising not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the
occupied space in the MOB at the time of such casualty remain in full force and effect, (ii) tenants
(including Sublandlord) under leases comprising not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the
occupied space in the MOB at the time of such casualty shall have waived any right to terminate
their respective leases together in connection with such damage or destruction, (iii) the MOB
Leases shall have not less than eight (8) years remaining on its term (including available options
provided that the tenants under such MOB Leases have exercised any option necessary to make
the then-current term of the MOB Leases have at least eight (8) years remaining), and (iv) not less
than forty-five (45) years shall remain under the Term of this Sublease, as may be extended by any
available Extended Term (the “Mandatory Restoration Conditions”). If the conditions set forth
in clauses (i) through (iv) above are not each satisfied, then Subtenant may elect to terminate this
Sublease by written notice to Sublandlord (a “Subtenant Non-Major Casualty Termination
Election”), in which case this Sublease shall terminate on the sixtieth (60th) day after Sublandlord
receives such notice. In the event of such termination, at Sublandlord’s election in Sublandlord’s
sole and absolute discretion, Subtenant shall, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, demolish the
remaining improvements and promptly remove all debris from the Ground Subleased Premises.
Any work of repair and restoration commenced by Subtenant hereunder shall be commenced by
Subtenant as soon as reasonably possible, with due consideration given to, among other things,
clearing of damaged portions of the Ground Subleased Premises and site preparation, adjustment
of insurance claims, redesign, rebidding and repermitting, obtaining a new loan or loans for
construction or repair, and Subtenant shall proceed diligently to commence any such repairs and
restoration. Once construction has commenced, Subtenant shall proceed diligently thereafter to
complete the construction or repair, and shall complete the same no later than (I) eighteen (18)
months in the case of damage or destruction of seventy-five percent (75%) of the MOB or less,
and (II) twenty-four (24) months in the case of damage or destruction greater than seventy-five
percent (75%) of the MOB, after obtaining all necessary governmental licenses, permits and
approvals to complete the construction or repair and the commencement of such construction or
repair (which commencement shall not be deemed to have occurred due to the razing of damaged
Improvements or the erection of temporary structures) and subject to delays due to Force Majeure
Events. Subtenant shall not be responsible for delays caused by Force Majeure Events.
Sublandlord will, at Subtenant’s expense, reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in the pursuit of
any such necessary licenses, permits and approvals including, without limitation, completion and
submittal of any application for the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
Page 234 of 329
46
herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, if (a) any buildings or improvements now or
hereafter on the Ground Subleased Premises are damaged and/or destroyed (1) in the amount of
seventy-five percent (75%) or more, by fire, theft, the elements, or (2) during the last forty-five
(45) years of the Term as may be extended by any available Extended Term or (b) following any
damage or destruction to any buildings or improvements now or hereafter on the Ground Subleased
Premises, the Mandatory Restoration Conditions are not satisfied or the creditworthiness of
Sublandlord or such successor to Sublandlord (as the case may be), together with any lease
guarantor, does not at such time, in the good faith determination of Subtenant, meet or exceed the
creditworthiness of Sublandlord as of the Effective Date (a “Major Casualty”), Subtenant shall
have the option to terminate this Sublease. Such option to terminate shall be exercised by
Subtenant delivering to Sublandlord written notice of Subtenant’s intent to terminate this Sublease
(a “Subtenant Major Casualty Termination Election”), in which case this Sublease shall
terminate on the sixtieth (60th) day after Sublandlord receives such Subtenant Major Casualty
Termination Election; provided, however, that if Subtenant’s election to terminate the Sublease
was the result of the Mandatory Restoration Conditions not being satisfied as of the date of the
Subtenant Major Casualty Termination Election, then Sublandlord may, within thirty (30) days
following Subtenant’s delivery to Sublandlord of the Subtenant Major Casualty Termination
Election, elect to deliver written notice to Subtenant (a “Sublandlord Major Casualty
Rebuilding Election”) of Sublandlord’s election to enter into such amendments and/or
amendments to and restatements of this Sublease and/or any sublease of the Ground Subleased
Premises (to the extent then subleased to Sublandlord) as shall be required to satisfy the Mandatory
Restoration Conditions. If Sublandlord timely delivers a Sublandlord Major Casualty Rebuilding
Election, then Sublandlord and Subtenant shall enter into such amendments to and/or amendments
and restatements of this Sublease and/or any applicable sublease as shall be necessary to satisfy
the Mandatory Restoration Conditions within thirty (30) days following Sublandlord’s delivery of
the Sublandlord Major Casualty Rebuilding Election and upon entering into such amendments
and/or amendments and restatements, the related Subtenant Major Casualty Termination Election
shall be deemed revoked. If Subtenant has delivered a Subtenant Major Casualty Termination
Election and Sublandlord fails to timely deliver a Sublandlord Major Casualty Rebuilding
Election, then the parties will not have any further rights or obligations under this Sublease, except
those which expressly survive a termination; provided, however, that in such event, at
Sublandlord’s election in Sublandlord’s sole and absolute discretion, Subtenant shall, at
Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, demolish the remaining improvements and promptly remove
all debris from the Ground Subleased Premises.
Section 12.2 Application of Insurance Proceeds. Any and all fire or other insurance
proceeds that become payable at any time during the Term or any Extended Term because of
damage to or destruction of any buildings or improvements on the Ground Subleased Premises
shall, subject to the terms of any Leasehold Mortgage incurred by Subtenant pursuant to Article 6
of this Sublease, be paid, if not required to be paid to such Recognized Mortgagee, to Subtenant
and applied toward the cost of repairing and restoring the damaged or destroyed buildings or
improvements in the manner required by Section 12.1 of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that Subtenant exercises its option to terminate this Sublease under Section
12.1 above pursuant to a Subtenant Non-Major Casualty Termination Election or a Subtenant
Major Casualty Termination Election, then, in either such event, any and all fire or other insurance
proceeds that become payable as follows: first, to the payment of any outstanding amounts owed
to the Recognized Mortgagee, next, to any reasonable costs Subtenant incurs in connection with
Page 235 of 329
47
the adjustment of the loss and the collection thereof and razing the Ground Subleased Premises if
required by Sublandlord (provided that if Sublandlord does not require Subtenant to raze the
Ground Subleased Premises, then an amount equal to the reasonable cost of razing the Ground
Subleased Premises will be paid to Sublandlord), and the remainder to Subtenant.
ARTICLE 13- DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 13.1 Defaults. Each of the following events in Section 13.1.1 through 13.1.6
below shall be a default by Subtenant and a breach of this Sublease and constitute an “Event of
Default.”
13.1.1. Abandonment. Intentional abandonment of the Ground Subleased
Premises after the Rent Commencement Date, as evidenced by no activity on the Ground
Subleased Premises or the improvements now or hereafter constructed thereon (except temporarily
(i) during the diligent undertaking of repairs following a casualty or condemnation, (ii) if on
account of a Force Majeure Event, or (iii) at any such time as the MOB is vacant provided
Subtenant is using commercially reasonable efforts to lease the same), where such abandonment
continues for a period of ninety (90) days after notice thereof by Sublandlord to Subtenant.
13.1.2. Attachment or Other Levy. The subjection of any right or interest of
Subtenant in the Ground Subleased Premises to attachment, execution or other levy, or to seizure
under legal process, if not released within ninety (90) days, subject to Subtenant’s right to promptly
and actively contest the same in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.
13.1.3. Appointment of Receiver. The appointment of a receiver to take
possession of the Ground Subleased Premises or improvements thereof, or of Subtenant’s interest
in the leasehold estate or of Subtenant’s operations on the Ground Subleased Premises, for any

bankruptcy proceedings, but not including receivership (a) pursuant to administration of the estate
of any deceased or incompetent individual member of any Subtenant, or (b) pursuant to any
mortgage permitted by the provision of this Sublease relating to the purchase or construction of
improvements, (c) instituted by Sublandlord, the event of default being not the appointment of a
receiver at Sublandlord’s instance, but the event justifying the receivership, if any, or (d) that is
dismissed, vacated, terminated or discharged within ninety (90) days (subject to extension due to
Force Majeure Events).
13.1.4. Insolvency: Bankruptcy. An assignment by Subtenant for the benefit of
creditors, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against Subtenant under any law
for the purpose of adjudicating Subtenant a bankrupt; or for extending time for payment,

on account of, or to prevent bankruptcy or insolvency; unless, in case of such that are involuntary
on Subtenant’s part, the assignment, proceedings, and all consequent orders, adjudications,
custodies and supervisions are dismissed, vacated or terminated within ninety (90) days after the
assignment, filing or other initial event (subject to extension due to Force Majeure Events).
13.1.5. Violation of Use Restrictions. (a) Subtenant’s violation (which expressly
includes any violation by any tenant of the MOB, subtenant thereof, or other occupant of the MOB)
Page 236 of 329
48
of the use restrictions set forth in this Sublease at any time in which the Sublandlord Operation
Condition is satisfied, including, without limitation, Qualified Tenant requirements, the Prohibited
Use restrictions set forth in Section 4.2 of this Sublease and the restrictions on transactions with
Competitors or Unqualified Operators, or (b) in the case of the violation of the use restrictions set
forth in this Sublease by any tenant of the MOB subtenant thereof, or other occupant of the MOB
at any time in which the Sublandlord Operation Condition is satisfied, including, without
limitation, Qualified Tenant requirements, the Prohibited Use restrictions set forth in Section 4.2
of this Sublease, Subtenant’s failure to (i) include the Qualified Tenant requirements or the
Prohibited Use restrictions in any lease, (ii) use efforts to enforce such provisions under a lease as
required under Section 4.3.1, or (iii) agree with any tenant of the MOB under a lease or otherwise
in writing that Sublandlord will have third-party beneficiary rights to enforce the Qualified Tenant
requirements and the Prohibited Use restrictions directly against such tenant, after the application
of the notice and cure provisions in Section 13.1.7 below and as further subject to the provisions
of Sections 13.1.8 and 13.1.9 below.
13.1.6. Default in Payment or Performance Under this Sublease. Failure of
Subtenant to pay any installment of Base Annual Rent, additional rent, or any impositions or other
monetary obligations of any nature whatsoever required to be paid by Subtenant under this
Sublease when due and payable, but subject to Section 13.1.7 below; or failure of Subtenant to
observe or perform any of its other covenants, conditions or agreements under this Sublease, which
failure has an adverse effect on Sublandlord; or the breach of any warranties or representations of
Subtenant under this Sublease having a material and adverse effect upon Sublandlord. For
purposes of this Article 13, all monetary payments required to be made under this Sublease,
including, but not limited to, Taxes, insurance premiums, utility payments, and association
assessments, together with all other sums Subtenant is obligated to pay under this Sublease (other
than rent), shall be deemed additional rent hereunder.
13.1.7. Notice and Right to Cure. If the alleged default is monetary in nature such
as (but not limited to) nonpayment of rent, taxes or any other sums required to be paid by
Subtenant, Sublandlord shall deliver written notice to Subtenant of the default and Subtenant will
have thirty (30) days after the receipt of such written notice to cure the default; provided, however,
that if after exercise of due diligence and its best efforts to cure such monetary default Subtenant
is unable to do so within the thirty (30) day period, then Subtenant’s failure to cure such monetary
default shall not result in an Event of Default unless Subtenant fails to cure such monetary default
within an additional thirty (30) days. Subtenant shall promptly commence and diligently pursue
such legal or equitable actions to enforce the provisions of Sections 4.2.1 or 4.3.1 or the Qualified
Tenant requirements set forth herein, as the case may be, in the manner described in Section 4.3.1
(but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding termination of the applicable lease) in the event those
provisions have been violated. Said actions shall be instituted and prosecuted, at Subtenant’s cost
and expense, with counsel of Subtenant’s choice. As to any other non-monetary defaults not
otherwise specifically addressed in this Sublease, Subtenant shall have sixty (60) days after written
notice is given by Sublandlord specifying the nature of the default to cure the default; provided,
however, that if after exercise of due diligence and its commercially reasonable efforts to cure such
non-monetary default Subtenant is unable to do so within the sixty (60) day period, then (a) the
cure period shall be extended for such time as is necessary to cure such non-monetary default, so
long as Subtenant continues to diligently prosecute to completion the curing of the default and (b)
in the event that Subtenant ceases or fails to diligently prosecute such cure, then Subtenant’s failure
Page 237 of 329
49
to cure such non-monetary default and to diligently prosecute such cure shall not result in an Event
of Default unless and until (1) Sublandlord delivers to Subtenant an additional written notice of
such non-monetary default, prominently marked or identified on the notice itself and, if delivered
via United States mail or certified mail, on the outside of the envelope, containing the notice with
the legend, “SECOND NOTICE OF POTENTIAL EVENT OF DEFAULT - FAILURE TO CURE
WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS MAY RESULT IN AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THE
SUBLEASE.”, and (2) Subtenant fails to cure such non-monetary default within thirty (30) days
following Subtenant’s receipt of such notice. As used herein, non-monetary default shall be those
non-monetary defaults described in Section 13.1.6 of this Sublease.
13.1.8. Sublandlord and Sublandlord Representative Lease Defaults.
Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, in the event that any alleged breach or
default by Subtenant under this Sublease is caused by or is the result of any act or omission by
Sublandlord or any of its Affiliates (including any act or omission by Sublandlord or any of its
Affiliates under the MOB Leases) or any of their respective sub-tenants or licensees, or any of
their respective members, directors, officers, employees, tenants, licensees, invitees, contractors
or agents (other than Subtenant and Subtenant’s Representatives) (each, inclusive of Sublandlord,
a “Sublandlord Representative” and collectively, the “Sublandlord’s Representatives”),
including if such Sublandlord Representative is obligated under an MOB Lease or other lease, as
applicable, to pay for or perform any obligations that correspond to any of Subtenant’s obligations
hereunder, then Subtenant shall be not in breach or default under this Sublease whether or not
Subtenant performs or fails to perform the same. Under no circumstance shall any act or omission
of such Sublandlord Representative entitle any Sublandlord Representative to indemnification
under this Sublease. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.1.8 shall apply to all Subtenant
obligations under this Sublease, even if such obligations are not expressly stated herein as being
subject to this Section 13.1.8 and, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms
of this Section 13.1.8 and any other provisions in this Sublease, this Section 13.1.8 shall govern
and control.
13.1.9. Defaults by Tenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in Section 13.1.5 or in this Sublease, in the event that any tenant of the MOB, or any subtenant
thereof, or any occupant of the MOB, has breached or violated Prohibited Use restrictions or failed
to comply with its obligation to remain a Qualified Tenant, Subtenant shall not be in breach or
default under this Sublease so long as Subtenant (i) included the Prohibited Use Restrictions and
Qualified Tenant requirements, as applicable, in such tenant’s, subtenant’s or occupant’s lease or
other occupancy agreement, (ii) is using commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the Qualified
Tenant requirements and the Prohibited Use restrictions directly against such tenant, subtenant, or
occupant in accordance with Section 4.3.1, and (iii) has not agreed with such tenant, subtenant, or
occupant under its lease or occupancy agreement, or otherwise, that Sublandlord does not have
third-party beneficiary rights to enforce the Qualified Tenant requirements and Prohibited Use
restrictions directly against such tenant, subtenant, or occupant.
Section 13.2 Remedies. If any default by Subtenant shall continue uncured upon
expiration of the applicable curing period described in Section 13.1.7 above, then subject to the
rights of any Mortgagee as described in this Sublease, Sublandlord may exercise any one or all of
the following remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or equity, from
time to time, to which Sublandlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:
Page 238 of 329
50
13.2.1. Termination. Sublandlord may, at Sublandlord’s election, and without
notice, terminate this Sublease. All Subtenant’s rights and interest of any kind whatsoever in the
Master Ground Leased Premises, the MOB and in all improvements shall terminate upon
termination of this Sublease. Promptly after any such termination, Subtenant shall surrender and
vacate the Master Ground Leased Premises, the MOB and any other improvements in broom-clean
condition, and Sublandlord may re-enter and take possession of the Master Ground Leased
Premises, the MOB and all other improvements. Termination under this paragraph shall not relieve
Subtenant from the payment of any sum then due to Sublandlord, or from any claim for damages
previously accrued, or then accruing, against Subtenant.
13.2.2. Re-entry Without Termination. If permitted under applicable law,
Sublandlord may, at Sublandlord’s election, and subject to applicable law and process, re-enter the
Master Ground Leased Premises, the MOB and improvements thereon, and without terminating
this Sublease, at any time, relet the Master Ground Leased Premises and improvements, or any
part(s) of them, for the account, and in the name of Subtenant or otherwise, all upon commercially
reasonable rates and terms determined by Sublandlord. Any reletting may be for the remainder of
the Term, the Extended Term(s) or for any longer or shorter period. Sublandlord may execute any
leases made under this provision either in Sublandlord’s name or in Subtenant’s name, and
Sublandlord, subject to applicable law and process, shall be entitled to all rents from the use,
operation or occupancy of the Master Ground Leased Premises or improvements, or both.
Sublandlord shall have the further right, at Sublandlord’s option, to make such reasonable and
necessary alterations, repairs, replacements and/or restorations which shall not operate or be
construed to release Subtenant from liability hereunder. Subtenant shall nevertheless pay to
Sublandlord on the due dates specified in this Sublease the equivalent of all sums required of
Subtenant under this Sublease, plus Sublandlord’s reasonable expenses. No act by or on behalf of
Sublandlord under this provision shall constitute a termination of this Sublease unless Sublandlord
gives Subtenant written notice of termination.
13.2.3. Tenant’s Personal Property. Sublandlord may, at Sublandlord’s election,
use Subtenant’s personal property and trade fixtures or any of such property and fixtures without
compensation and without liability for use or damage, or store them for the account and at the cost
of Subtenant. The election of one remedy for any one item shall not foreclose an election of any
other remedy for another item, or for the same item at a later time.
13.2.4. Acceleration. Sublandlord may accelerate the Base Annual Rent, the rent
and any additional rent due hereunder and Subtenant shall immediately pay Sublandlord, as
damages, the value of the entire amount of all such sums which would become due and payable
during the remainder of the Term, less the fair market value of the Ground Subleased Premises and
the MOB, discounted to present value using the then applicable discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank. Present Value shall be determined utilizing generally accepted standard present
value tables available at the time of such election.
13.2.5. Appointment of Receiver. Sublandlord may, if Sublandlord elects to file
suit to enforce this Sublease and/or protect its rights hereunder, in addition to the other remedies
provided in this Sublease and by law, have the appointment of a receiver of the Ground Subleased
Premises and the improvements thereon.

Section 13.3 Remedies Cumulative. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages,
or any installments thereof, may be brought by Sublandlord from time to time at its election, and
nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Sublandlord to postpone suit until the date
when the term of this Sublease would have expired nor limit or preclude recovery by Sublandlord
against Subtenant of any sums or damages which, in addition to the damages particularly provided
above, Sublandlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of
Subtenant. All the remedies hereinbefore given to Sublandlord and all rights and remedies given
to it at law and in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent.
Section 13.4 Subtenant’s Liability After Default. If an Event of Default shall occur
under this Sublease, Sublandlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be
obligated to) perform the same for the account and at the expense of Subtenant, without notice in
a case of emergency, and in any other case only if such default continues after the expiration of the
curing period applicable, if any, under Section 13.1.7 of this Sublease. Any reasonable expenses
incurred by Sublandlord in connection with any such performance, and all costs, expenses, and
disbursements of every kind and nature whatsoever, including, subject to Section 15.12, reasonable
attorneys’ fees involved in collecting or endeavoring to collect the rent or any additional rent or
any part thereof or enforcing or endeavoring to enforce any rights against Subtenant or Subtenant’s
obligations hereunder, shall be due and payable upon Sublandlord’s submission of an invoice
therefor. All sums advanced by Sublandlord on account of Subtenant under this section, or
pursuant to any other provision of this Sublease, and all rent, if delinquent or not paid by Subtenant
and received by Sublandlord when due hereunder, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from the
due date thereof until paid and the same shall be and constitute additional rent and be due and
payable upon Sublandlord’s demand therefor.
Section 13.5 Holdover. If Subtenant remains in possession of the Ground Subleased
Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term or any extension
thereof, Subtenant shall become a subtenant at sufferance and shall pay the Sublandlord a rent
equal to 200% of the Base Annual Rent paid by Subtenant in the last month prior to the expiration
or termination of the Sublease, which shall be payable on a per diem basis, not to exceed the
amount permitted to be charged by a Sublandlord under applicable State law. Notwithstanding
that Sublandlord may allow Subtenant to continue in possession after the expiration or sooner
termination of this Sublease, neither that nor the provisions of this section shall constitute a waiver
of any of Sublandlord’s rights under this section or this Sublease. Further, notwithstanding the
payment of rent by Subtenant and acceptance thereof by Sublandlord as provided in this section,
Subtenant shall be in continuing breach of this Sublease at any time or during any period in which
Subtenant is a holdover subtenant.
ARTICLE 14 - SURRENDER AND REMOVAL
Section 14.1 Surrender of Possession. Upon the expiration of the Term, the Extended
Term(s) or any earlier termination thereof, Subtenant shall surrender to Sublandlord possession of
the Master Ground Leased Premises, the MOB and all other improvements constructed and
installed on the Ground Subleased Premises broom-clean and in its then current condition, so long
as Subtenant has fully complied with its ongoing maintenance obligations as set forth in this
Sublease, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Subtenant may remove, or cause to be removed, all
personal property and equipment of Subtenant, other than permanent fixtures, from the Master
Page 240 of 329
52
Ground Leased Premises within thirty (30) days after the date of any termination of this Sublease;
thereafter all such personal property and equipment not removed shall belong to Sublandlord
without the payment of any consideration.
Section 14.2 Tenant’s Quitclaim. Upon the expiration of the Term or any Extended
Term, or any sooner termination of this Sublease, Subtenant agrees that its interests shall be quit
claimed to Sublandlord without necessity of further action, provided, however, that Subtenant
shall, upon request, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublandlord an instrument in writing,
quitclaiming to Sublandlord all right, title and interest of Subtenant in and to the Ground Subleased
Premises and all improvements (including the MOB), free and clear of any liens, mortgages or
other encumbrances other than the Master Ground Lease, this Sublease, the Permitted
Encumbrances, and any encumbrances entered into, approved or consented to by Sublandlord.
ARTICLE 15 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 15.1 Sublease Subordinate to Master Ground Lease. This Sublease is and
will at all times be subject and subordinate to the Master Ground Lease, but subject in all respects
to the Master Landlord Recognition Agreement. Subtenant will not take any action under this
Sublease that would constitute a default under the Master Ground Lease subject to the Master
Landlord Recognition Agreement. Subtenant acknowledges that it has been provided with a copy
of the Master Ground Lease prior to the execution of this Sublease.
Section 15.2 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 15.3 Conditions and Covenants. All of the provisions of this Sublease shall
be deemed as running with the land, and construed to be “conditions” as well as “covenants” as
though the words specifically expressing or imparting covenants and conditions were used in each
separate provision.
Section 15.4 Survival of Indemnities. All representations, warranties and indemnities
of Subtenant under this Sublease shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this
Sublease.
Section 15.5 No Waiver of Breach. No failure by either Sublandlord or Subtenant to
insist upon the strict performance by the other of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of
this Sublease, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute
a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No waiver of any
breach shall affect or alter this Sublease, but each and every covenant, condition, agreement and
term of this Sublease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing
or subsequent breach.
Section 15.6 Unavoidable Delay.
15.6.1. If either party shall be delayed or prevented from the performance of any
act required by this Sublease by reason of (i) acts of God (including floods, fires, earthquakes,
explosions and other natural disasters), and other casualties and adverse weather conditions to the
extent exceeding the number of weather delay days specified in the project schedule in the
applicable construction contract, (ii) war, invasions or other hostilities (whether war is declared or
Page 241 of 329
53
not), terrorist threats or acts, riots or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades, (iii) strikes,

to procure materials through use of commercially reasonable efforts, (v) restrictive governmental
laws or regulations, proclamations, orders, laws, actions, or requests, (vi) epidemics, pandemics,
or other national or regional public health emergency, (vii) unreasonable delays in transportation,
(viii) a governmental authority’s failure to provide an approval or issue a building, construction,
development permit, or any other similar permit which failure is beyond the reasonable control of
the party seeking such approval or permit, (ix) delays by public utility companies beyond the
reasonable control of the party obligated, (x) Sublandlord Delay, or (xi) another cause beyond the
reasonable control of the party obligated (financial inability excepted) (each, a “Force Majeure
Event”), performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for
the performance of such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay;
provided, however, nothing in this section shall excuse Subtenant from the prompt payment of any
rental or other charge required of Subtenant except as may be expressly provided elsewhere in this
Sublease.
15.6.2. “Sublandlord Delay” shall mean and include delays to the extent caused
by:
(a) any “Tenant Delay”, as such term is defined in the MOB Leases;
(b) Sublandlord’s failure (including in its capacity directly or through
affiliates as tenant under the MOB Leases) to obtain all required approvals and permits for the
performance of the Interior Improvements or to complete any Interior Improvements, in each case
which are necessary for achievement of Substantial Completion of the Improvements;
(c) Sublandlord’s failure to timely satisfy any of its obligations under
this Sublease; and
(d) Sublandlord’s failure to take any action required of it under this
Sublease for the issuance of any licenses or permits or for the achievement of Substantial
Completion of the Improvements.
In order for Subtenant to obtain any extension of time to perform as a result of any
Sublandlord Delay, Subtenant must provide written notice to Sublandlord, with a notation thereon
in BOLD, ALL CAPS font that a Sublandlord Delay has commenced, within two (2) business
days following the commencement of any Sublandlord Delay. Any failure to deliver the foregoing
written notice to Sublandlord will not constitute a default under this Ground Sublease, but any
Sublandlord Delay will not be determined to have commenced until such notice is provided.

law, any and all notices or other communications required or permitted by this Sublease or by law

FORM OF RECOGNITION AGREEMENT
THIS INSTRUMENT PREPARED BY
AND UPON RECORDATION RETURN TO:
[______]
THIS RECOGNITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of this __ day of
___________, 20__, by and between [______] (“Sublandlord”), [______] (“Tenant”), and
[______] (“Administrative Agent”) for certain financial institutions (collectively, the “Lender”).
RECITALS:
A. Pursuant to that certain Ground Sublease, dated as of [____________], by and
between Sublandlord, as Sublandlord, and Subtenant, as Subtenant (the “Ground Sublease”),
Sublandlord demised and let to Subtenant a certain parcel of real property located in [______]
County, [______], and more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto, together with the
other easements, licenses, rights-of-way, rights, improvements, privileges, hereditaments and
appurtenances thereunto (referred to in the Ground Sublease) being referred to herein as the
“Premises” and the “Ground Subleased Premises” in the Ground Sublease.
B. In that certain Leasehold [Mortgage/Deed of Trust], Assignment of Leases and
Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, dated as of [______________], 20__ (as the same
may be amended or modified from time to time, together with any other leasehold mortgage, deed
of trust or comparable document now or at any time hereafter entered into by Subtenant in favor
of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lender, the “Mortgage”), Subtenant has granted to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lender a mortgage with respect all of its right, title and
interest in and to the Premises, for the purpose of securing a loan (the “Loan”) made by
Administrative Agent to Subtenant contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the
Mortgage.
C. Administrative Agent and Lender require as a condition to the Loan, that the parties
hereto enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises and covenants
of the parties hereunder, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. The recitals are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement as if set forth
herein.
2. Sublandlord recognizes and acknowledges (i) that the Mortgage constitutes a
“Leasehold Mortgage” with respect to the Premises, within the meaning of Section 6.1 and the
Page 258 of 329
Exhibit H – Form of Recognition Agreement
other provisions of the Ground Sublease, (ii) that Lender is and shall be deemed to be the
“Recognized Mortgagee” (as that term is effectively defined and used in the Ground Sublease)
with respect to the Mortgage and the Premises, and (iii) that Administrative Agent does not
constitute a “Competitor” or an “Unqualified Operator” (as those terms are effectively defined and
used in the Ground Sublease).
3. In no event shall Lender, in its capacity as the Lender with respect to the Premises
be deemed a sublessee, assignee or transferee of Subtenant’s right, title or interest in and to the
Premises so as to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to assume the performance of any
of the covenants or agreements on the part of Subtenant to be performed with respect thereto.
4. With respect to Administrative Agent, in its capacity on behalf of the Lenders under
the Ground Sublease with respect to the Premises, the provisions of Sections 5 to 16, inclusive,
hereof shall apply, notwithstanding anything in the Ground Sublease to the contrary.
5. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default under the Loan
Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have all cure rights set forth in this Agreement or as
otherwise set forth in the Ground Sublease.
6. It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent or Lender to obtain possession
of the Premises to effect any such cure of a default by Subtenant under the Ground Sublease with
respect to the Premises, and Sublandlord will not commence any proceeding or act to terminate
the term of the Ground Sublease with respect to the Premises if (a) Administrative Agent shall,
within the grace period applicable to it, inform Sublandlord that it has taken steps to foreclose the
Mortgage or to take any other actions necessary for it to obtain possession of the Premises; (b) all
rent under the Ground Sublease with respect to the Premises shall be paid and all other provisions
and requirements of the Ground Sublease with respect to the Premises which are capable of being
observed and performed without obtaining possession of the Premises are so observed and
performed while any such foreclosure, other action or other remedy is being prosecuted by
Administrative Agent, and for so long thereafter as Administrative Agent shall have obtained
possession of the Premises; and (c) Administrative Agent shall be diligently prosecuting such
foreclosure and attempting to effect a cure of such default. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to require Administrative Agent to continue with any foreclosure or other proceedings, or,
in the event Administrative Agent shall otherwise acquire possession of the Premises, to continue
such possession, if the default in respect to which Sublandlord shall have given notice as aforesaid
shall be remedied.
7. Sublandlord will, promptly after the delivery thereof to Subtenant, give
Administrative Agent a written copy of each notice given to Subtenant under the Ground Sublease,
at the address of Administrative Agent provided for on the signature page hereof. In the event
Sublandlord sends Subtenant a notice of default under the Ground Sublease, then, from and after
the time that a copy of such notice has been delivered to Administrative Agent, Administrative
Agent for the benefit of Lender shall have a period equal to the period granted under the Ground
Sublease to Administrative Agent to effect a cure of such default. Sublandlord will accept
performance by Administrative Agent or its nominee of any and all of the obligations of Subtenant
under the Ground Sublease, including (without limitation) the obligation of Subtenant (as the
lessee thereunder) to pay rent; and the performance of any such obligation by Administrative Agent
Page 259 of 329
Exhibit H – Form of Recognition Agreement
or its nominee shall be deemed to have been a cure effected by Subtenant. Sublandlord hereby
consents to the entry into the Premises by Administrative Agent or its nominee for the purpose of
effecting the cure of any default under the Ground Sublease by Subtenant. In the event of a default
by Subtenant under the Ground Sublease, Administrative Agent may affect the cure of such default
by performing all of the obligations of Subtenant under the Ground Sublease. This Section will
only be applicable to any permitted successor, nominee or permitted assignee of Administrative
Agent or Lender if prior written notice of such assignment of Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s
interest is provided to Subtenant.
8. Sublandlord agrees that, in the event of the termination of the Ground Sublease
with respect to the Premises by reason of any default thereunder by Subtenant or any inaction or
action by Subtenant including without limitation, and whether or not constituting a default under
the Ground Sublease, rejection of the Ground Sublease by Subtenant or Subtenant’s bankruptcy
estate, it will enter into a new lease with respect to the Premises with Administrative Agent for the
benefit of Lender or its nominee (the “Transferee”) for the remainder of the term of the Ground
Sublease, effective as of the date of such termination, at the rent and upon the terms, options,
provisions, covenants and agreements then contained in the Ground Sublease applicable to the
Premises; provided, that:
(a) Administrative Agent or Transferee shall make written request upon
Sublandlord for such new lease prior to or within thirty (30) days after the date of such
termination of the Ground Sublease with respect to the Premises, and such written request
is accompanied by payment to Sublandlord of all sums then due to it under the Ground
Sublease with respect to the Premises, including the payment of all rent to the date of such
new lease with respect to the Premises;
(b) Administrative Agent or the Transferee shall pay to Sublandlord, at the time
of the execution and delivery of such new lease, any and all sums that would then be due
under the Ground Sublease with respect to the Premises but for such termination, together
with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by
Sublandlord as a result of such termination, as well as in the preparation, execution and
delivery of such new lease;
(c) Administrative Agent or the Transferee shall cure all defaults under the
Ground Sublease except for any defaults that Administrative Agent or Transferee are under
no obligation to cure, including without limitation those listed in Section 10 below, and
Transferee shall be a similarly creditworthy Subtenant as Subtenant, along with a similarly
creditworthy replacement guarantor, if applicable; and
(d) All provisions contained in either the Ground Sublease or this Agreement
with respect to the Mortgage and the rights of Administrative Agent and Lender shall
survive the termination of both the Ground Sublease with respect to the Premises and this
Agreement for such period of time as shall be necessary to effectuate any and all rights
effectively granted to Administrative Agent and Lender by the provisions of the Ground
Sublease with respect to the Premises; provided, however, that this subsection shall not
extend the cure period of any cure rights set forth in the Ground Sublease; and
Page 260 of 329
Exhibit H – Form of Recognition Agreement
(e) Administrative Agent or its nominee shall retain all cure rights enumerated
in this Agreement or the Ground Sublease, provided, however, that nothing contained
herein or in the Ground Sublease shall be construed to require Administrative Agent or the
Transferee to cure any default by Subtenant under the Ground Sublease with respect to the
Premises, provided further, however, for the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent or
its Transferee shall be required to cure pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) above in order to
avail themselves of the benefits of this Section.
Sublandlord agrees that any option to purchase the Premises or any portion thereof or right
of first refusal or right of first offer to purchase the Premises or any portion thereof, as may be
provided in the Ground Sublease, shall not apply to any foreclosure of the Mortgage or acceptance
of a deed in lieu. Lender agrees that any such option to purchase the Premises or any portion
thereof or right of first refusal or right of first offer to purchase the Premises or any portion thereof
will not be terminated by any foreclosure or conveyance of the Premises by Lender or any
Transferee; rather, any such option to purchase the Premises or any portion thereof or right of first
refusal or right of first offer to purchase the Premises or any portion thereof will remain as an
obligation of any party acquiring the Premises by Lender or any Transferee following such
foreclosure. Additionally, Sublandlord agrees that it will attorn to and recognize any Transferee
and the successors and assigns of such Transferee, as its Subtenant for the unexpired balance (and
any extensions or renewals, if exercised) of the term of the Ground Sublease upon the same terms
and conditions set forth in the Ground Sublease. Such attornment shall be effective and self-
operative without the execution of any further instrument. Sublandlord agrees, however, to
execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the request of any holder(s) of any of
the indebtedness or other obligations secured by the Mortgage, or upon request of any such
Transferee, any instrument or certificate reasonably requested by such party to evidence such
attornment. Sublandlord, in the event of attornment, will have the same remedies against Lender
for the breach of an agreement contained in the Ground Sublease that Sublandlord might have had
against Subtenant if Lender had not succeeded to the interest of Subtenant.
9. Sublandlord agrees that (i) Sublandlord shall not have the right to remedy or cure
any default of Subtenant under the Mortgage or any related loan documents and neither Lender
nor Administrative Agent shall be obligated to accept any performance by Sublandlord of any
obligation, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by Subtenant pursuant
to the Mortgage or any related Loan documents; (ii) Sublandlord shall not have any right to consent
or approve (a) the Mortgage or any related Loan documents or any amendments to any of the terms
of the Mortgage or any related Loan documents, or (b) any future advances or other increases in
the principal amount of the Loan which is secured by the Mortgage; provided, however, that no
mortgagee may be a Competitor (as defined in the Ground Sublease); (iii) Subtenant shall not be
required to deliver copies of the Mortgage or related Loan documents to Sublandlord; (iv)
Sublandlord shall not have any right purchase the Mortgage or to assume Subtenant’s obligations
with respect to the Loan or to prepay or pay to Administrative Agent or Lender on Subtenant’s
behalf any principal or other amounts owed by Subtenant in connection with the Loan or to
terminate the Ground Sublease as a result of any acceleration of the Loan (without there existing
any other default under the Ground Sublease); (v) any provisions in the Ground Sublease limiting
the principal amount of the Loan shall not be applicable with respect to the Loan or the Mortgage
and Subtenant shall be free to obtain the Loan in any amount as determined by Subtenant in its
sole and absolute discretion without any limitation under the Ground Sublease; and (vi) any
Page 261 of 329
Exhibit H – Form of Recognition Agreement
provisions of the Ground Sublease prohibiting or limiting Subtenant’s right to cross-collateralize
the Premises with any other property shall not be applicable with respect to the Mortgage or the
Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement
shall limit Sublandlord from exercising its rights under the Ground Sublease and any space lease
affecting the Premises that might cure the default of the Subtenant.
10. The following defaults under the Ground Sublease shall not, as between
Sublandlord and the Transferee, constitute an event of default by the Subtenant, which must be
cured but shall be automatically cured upon conveyance of such leasehold estate to Transferee: (i)
the insolvency of the Subtenant or the commencement by or against the Subtenant of any
proceedings under any Chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code as amended from time to
time; (ii) the attachment, execution or other judicial or statutory levy or seizure of the Premises or
any portion thereof; (iii) the appointment of a receiver or other custodian or personal representative
to take possession of all or any portion of the Subtenant’s assets; (iv) any composition of creditors
of the Subtenant or any assignment by the Subtenant of all or any portion of the Subtenant’s assets
for the benefit of creditors; (v) any other default which relates to the status of the Subtenant, and
not to the status or condition of the Premises; (vi) any fraud or misrepresentation of the Subtenant;
or (vii) any failure of the Subtenant to indemnify Sublandlord pursuant to an express provision of
the Ground Sublease related to any of the foregoing defaults in subsections (i)-(vi) hereof if such
act, omission, event or condition giving rise to such indemnification occurred prior to the date
Transferee acquires the Ground Sublease.
11. In addition to any notices required under the Ground Sublease, Subtenant will give
prompt written notice to Administrative Agent of every breach or default on the part of Sublandlord
in respect of any obligation or covenant of Sublandlord under the Ground Sublease with respect to
the Premises, if such breach or default may be of such a nature as to give Subtenant a right to
terminate the Ground Sublease with respect to the Premises, to reduce rent, or to credit or offset
any amounts against future rents, prior to the exercise of such right by Subtenant. However, the
failure of Subtenant so to give any such notice to Administrative Agent shall not invalidate any
action taken by Subtenant in furtherance of any such right under and pursuant to the Ground
Sublease with respect to the Premises.
12. Intentionally omitted.
13. Sublandlord hereby represents and warrants that Sublandlord will not permit any
further encumbrance of Subtenant’s leasehold estate under the Ground Sublease, absent written
consent from Administrative Agent; and Sublandlord hereby subordinates whatever interest it may
have in Subtenant’s leasehold estate (but not in Sublandlord’s reversionary interest in the
Premises), if any, to the lien of the Mortgage.
14. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that it has not encumbered its interests in
and to the Premises to any person other than Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lender.
15. Sublandlord acknowledges that the name of the Administrative Agent and Lender
shall be added to the “Loss Payable Endorsement” of any and all insurance policies required to be
carried by the Subtenant under the Ground Sublease and that any insurance proceeds payable
Page 262 of 329
Exhibit H – Form of Recognition Agreement
thereunder, including without limitation, all casualty proceeds, shall be paid to the Administrative
Agent and Lender and applied in accordance with the Mortgage.
16. Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby reaffirm, acknowledge and agree that all
condemnation proceeds to which the Subtenant, subject to the Ground Sublease, is entitled on
account of Subtenant’s interest shall be subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent and
Lender under the Mortgage.
17. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by writing signed
by all of the parties hereto.
18. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto,
their respective heirs, successors and assigns.
19. The validity, enforcement, and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [______] and applicable United States
federal law, and is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted
by, such laws. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and
the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby
and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
20. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or
which any party desires to give hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically
provided, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by
nationally recognized overnight courier, or by registered or certified United States mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the addresses specified near the signature
blocks of this Agreement (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party
whose address is to be changed). Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been
given either at the time of personal delivery or, one day after deposit with an overnight courier, or
three days after deposit in U.S. Mail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of
address shall be effective except upon actual receipt.
21. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, for all
purposes, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Shannon Buccio
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation & Library
DATE: March 18, 2024
SUBJECT: Training Center lease agreement at Broken Tee Golf Course
DESCRIPTION:
Training Center lease agreement with Broken Tee Partners, LLC, dba MetaGolf Learning
Center, at Broken Tee Golf Course
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council, by motion, approve the lease agreement for the training center
with Broken Tee Partners, LLC, dba MetaGolf Learning Center, at Broken Tee Golf Course.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
SUMMARY:
Broken Tee Golf Course leases out the training center space of the facility to an outside vendor
to offer instructional options, i.e. individual or group lessons, to patrons. The current lease
agreement with Broken Tee Partners, LLC ends on March 31, 2024.
ANALYSIS:
The current agreement, initiated in March 2019, has proven to be mutually beneficial, and
Broken Tee Golf Course has appreciated the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by
Broken Tee Partners, LLC. MetaGolf Learning Center is a full-service golf instruction and club
fitting business focused on providing state-of-the-art golf instruction and personalized club fitting
to its clients. Currently, the staff consists of six full-time and four part-time golf instructors,
including two females. Each instructor has a minimum of 10 years of teaching and coaching
experience. The lesson rates for instruction vary based on demand and expertise; however,
MetaGolf offers many options for beginning and budget-oriented golfers. Discounted lessons
for juniors, Englewood residents, and staff, as well as providing donations for Broken Tee
special events, are offered in support of the community. During the 2018 Request for Bid
process, only one submission from Broken Tee Partners, LLC, was received. Despite the
current efforts to explore other potential options, no contact with alternative vendors expressing
interest was received. Given the positive relationship that has been built over the past years,
extending the partnership would be in the best interest of both parties. The proposed lease
agreement would provide continuity in the management and operation of Broken Tee, ensure a
seamless experience for Broken Tee patrons, and maintain the high standards already
established.
Page 323 of 329
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends that Council, by motion, approve the lease agreement for the training center
with Broken Tee Partners, LLC, dba MetaGolf Learning Center, at Broken Tee Golf Course.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Broken Tee Partners, LLC, dba MetaGolf Learning Center, will pay $22,000 annually to lease
out the training center area at Broken Tee Golf Course.
CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
Community Wellbeing: Elevating community well-being lies at the heart of Broken Tee's
commitment to enhancing the golfer's experience at one singular location. They can play,
purchase merchandise, practice at the driving range, and enjoy food and beverages.
Broken Tee guests may also choose to improve their golf game with professional
instructors at one location. By consolidating these diverse offerings within a single
location, Broken Tee streamlines the golfing experience and fosters a sense of belonging
and connectivity within Englewood's vibrant community. Broken Tee strives to enrich
patrons' lives, empowering them to thrive both on and off the course, all within the
welcoming embrace of the Broken Tee golf facility.
OUTREACH/COMMUNICATIONS:
As MetaGolf Learning Center is located at the golf facility, they must and will be included in
Broken Tee marketing campaigns on social media, email blasts, and websites. Broken Tee
patrons need to know what is offered at our location. It's encouraged that their instructors share
their offerings with staff so that they can be shared with our patrons. In return, MetaGolf
welcomes sharing Broken Tee's special events and offerings with their clients, too.
