ARTICLE 36 KEARNY MESA ADVANCES

36.1 Landlord shall make available to Tenant a renovation fund (the “Kearny Mesa Renovation Fund”) not to exceed Two Million and no/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate for the hard and soft costs of certain renovations and improvements to be made by Tenant at or with respect to the Kearny Mesa Leased Property in accordance with this Article 36. The disbursements by Landlord to Tenant from the Kearny Mesa Renovation Fund are hereinafter referred to as the “Kearny Mesa Advances”.

36.2 In the event Tenant wishes to utilize any portion of the Kearny Mesa Renovation Fund, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request (each, a “Work Proposal”) describing in reasonable detail (i) the work to be performed, (the “Work”), (ii) the proposed budget for the Work, (iii) the estimated timeline for the performance and completion of the Work, and (iv) any governmental or other approvals required in connection with the Work. Within fifteen (15) calendar days following the date as of which the Work Proposal is deemed given hereunder, Landlord shall notify Tenant of any items contained in the Work Proposal that Landlord objects to in its professional judgment. Tenant and Landlord will in good faith discuss any open items in order to resolve expeditiously any disagreements as to the items to be included in the Work. Landlord and Tenant further agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Work described on Schedule 36.2 to this Lease that has been or is in the process of being performed are hereby approved by Landlord and Tenant will be entitled to recover such amounts from the Kearny Mesa Renovation Fund.

36.3 Following mutual agreement of the Work Proposal, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, for its review and reasonable approval, prior to the commencement of the Work and any disbursement of any part of the Kearny Mesa Renovation Fund, copies of all proposals, bids, contracts and subcontracts relating to the Work (collectively, the “Construction Documents”). Landlord’s review of the Construction Documents shall impose no responsibility or liability on Landlord, and shall not constitute a representation, warranty or guarantee by Landlord with respect to the completeness, design, sufficiency or compliance thereof with any applicable laws. Before each contractor or subcontractor enters onto the Kearny Mesa Demised Premises, Tenant shall obtain a certificate of insurance evidencing that such contractor or subcontractor is carrying general liability insurance with coverages, amounts and issued by an insurance company reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall cause the Work to be constructed or installed in a good, workmanlike, diligent, and efficient manner, in accordance with good development standards for comparable skilled nursing facilities, and in substantial compliance with all applicable laws, and to be otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The terms of ARTICLE 13 shall be applicable to the Work and any liens arising therefrom or relating thereto. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) modify or amend, in any material respect, any of the Construction Documents. Except as otherwise provided in the Master Lease, all improvements and additions to the Kearny Mesa Leased Property as a result of the Work shall become a part of the Leased Property and shall belong to Landlord.

36.4 Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Master Lease, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford Landlord the nonexclusive benefit of Tenant’s right, title and interest in, to and under: (i) any of the Construction Documents; (ii) any warranties or guarantees provided under any of the Construction Documents or otherwise relating to any of the Work, and (iii) any claims or causes of action against one or more of the parties to any of the Construction Documents. Promptly after Landlord’s request delivered within sixty (60) days before or after the expiration or earlier termination of the Master Lease, Tenant shall, in one or more written agreements reasonably acceptable to Landlord, assign (to the extent assignable) to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in, to and under: (i) any of the Construction Documents; (ii) any warranties or guarantees provided under any of the Construction Documents or otherwise relating to any of the Work, and (iii) any claims or causes of action against one or more of the parties to any of the Construction Documents.

36.5 Landlord’s obligation to make each disbursement of the Kearny Mesa Renovation Fund shall be conditioned upon Landlord’s receipt, review and reasonable approval of a completed disbursement request for payment, including, without limitation, architect’s or general contractor’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s and subcontractor’s sworn statements, and other evidence of cost and payments as may be reasonably required by Landlord (each a “Disbursement Request”). All Disbursement Requests (completed and with all required supporting documentation) must be submitted to Landlord within twelve (12) months following the date of this Amendment. Landlord shall, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, remit payment to the contractor directly or to Tenant, each such remittance to be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable Disbursement Request; provided, however, Landlord shall remit directly to Tenant any amounts identified in such Disbursement Request, and reasonably evidenced to Landlord, as having been paid directly to such contractor by Tenant. It is understood that Landlord’s remittance of payment pursuant to any Disbursement Request shall not be conditioned upon Tenant’s prior payment of the subject invoice to the applicable vendor or contractor.

36.6 If the total costs in connection with the Work exceed the then remaining balance of the Kearny Mesa Renovation Fund, Tenant shall pay such excess costs when due; provided that to the extent such excess costs are known at any point during the design or implementation of the Work, Tenant and Landlord shall thereafter each contribute to each draw or payment in proportion to their respective total obligations with respect to the then remaining cost of the Work, as determined by Landlord is its reasonable discretion.

36.7 Tenant shall pay all reasonable and documented actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord or any of its affiliates in connection with the administration of the Kearny Mesa Renovation Fund and any Kearny Mesa Advances, including, without limitation, documentation and diligence fees and expenses, all search, audit, appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses, and all other actual and reasonable out-of-pocket

charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 36.7 with respect to any Work exceed two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the amount budgeted for such Work, as contained in the agreed-upon Work Proposal for such Work.

36.8 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) is the administrative agent for certain lenders (the “Lenders”) which have provided a revolving credit facility (the “Loan”) to MedEquities Realty Operating Partnership, LP, the sole member of Kearny Mesa Landlord (“Member”), and the Agent and the Lenders have received as a part of the security for the loan a collateral assignment of all of the Member’s equity interests in Kearny Mesa Landlord (the “Equity Pledge”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Master Lease or any other agreements and documents entered into in connection herewith, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, in the event of any transfer of the Kearny Mesa Demised Premises (whether by foreclosure of the Equity Pledge, deed in lieu thereof or otherwise) to Agent, a Lender, any person or entity to whom the Loan or Equity Pledge has been assigned, in whole or in part, or any designee or nominee thereof (each, a “Lender Party”) or any subsequent transferee of a Lender Party, no Lender Party, nor any subsequent transferee of such Lender Party, shall be obligated to make any disbursement of the Kearny Mesa Disbursement Fund.
