Tenant acknowledges that any default in ---------------------- the payment of any installment of Rent payable hereunder will result in loss and additional expense to Landlord in servicing any indebtedness of Landlord secured by the Leased Property, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations, and because such loss and additional expense is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, Tenant agrees that in the event any Rent payable to Landlord hereunder is not paid within 10 days after the due date, Tenant shall pay a late charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue payment as a reasonable estimate of such loss and expenses, unless applicable law requires a lesser charge, in which event the maximum rate permitted by such law may be charged by Landlord.

Sublease or Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- Agreement.If Tenant is required to obtain Landlord's consent to a specific ---------- assignment, sublease, or management agreement, Tenant shall give Landlord [i) ----- the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager; [ii] a copy -- of the proposed assignment, sublease or management agreement; [iii] reasonably satisfactory information about the nature, business and business history of the proposed assignee, subtenant, or manager and its proposed use of the Leased Property; and [iv] banking, financial, and other credit information, and references about the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager. Any assignment, sublease or management agreement shall contain provisions to the effect that [a] such assignment, sublease or management agreement is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord and that the assignee, subtenant or manager shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Lease; [b) such assignment, sublease or management agreement may not be modified without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; [c) if this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such assignment, sublease or management agreement, the assignee, subtenant or manager thereunder will, solely at Landlord's option and only upon the express written notice of attornment from Landlord, attorn to Landlord and waive any right the assignee, subtenant or manager may have to terminate the assignment, sublease or management agreement or surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease; and [d) if the assignee, subtenant or manager receives a written notice from Landlord stating that Tenant is in default under this Lease, the assignee, subtenant or manager shall thereafter pay all rentals or payments under the assignment, sublease or management agreement directly to Landlord until such default has been cured. Any attempt or offer by an assignee, subtenant or manager to attorn to Landlord shall not be binding or effective without the express written consent of Landlord. Tenant hereby collaterally assigns to Landlord, as security for the performance of its obligations hereunder, all of Ten ant's right, title, and interest in and to any assignment, sublease or management agreement now or hereafter existing for all or part of the Leased Property. Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord, execute such other instruments or documents as Landlord may request to evidence this collateral assignment.

Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Tenant from implementing from time to time occupancy incentive programs which provide for, among other things, the payment of larger move in fees in consideration for lower monthly rental fees provided that Tenant shall, from time to time, as and when requested by Landlord, provide Landlord with a written description of all such programs which may then be in effect at the Facility. 17.4 Sale of Leased Property.If Landlord or any subsequent owner of the --------------------------- Leased Property sells the Leased Property, its liability for the performance of its agreements in this Lease will end on the date of the sale of the Leased Property, and Tenant will look solely to the purchaser for the performance of those agreements. For purposes of this section, any holder of a mortgage or security agreement which affects the Leased Property at any time, and any landlord under any lease to which this Lease is subordinate at any time, will be a subsequent owner of the Leased Property when it succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Leased Property. 17.5 Assignment by Landlord.Landlord may transfer, assign, mortgage, ------------------------- collaterally assign, or otherwise dispose of Landlord's interest in this Lease or the Leased Property.

Said FINAL - EXECUTION COPY - 47- month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord by giving Tenant five days written notice, and at any time thereafter Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property. If, without Landlord's consent or at Landlord's request, Tenant continues after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease to hold and occupy the Leased Property whether as a month-to-month tenant or a tenant at sufferance or otherwise, Tenant shall pay Rent for each month in an amount equal to the sum of [i] one and one-half (1-112) times the Base Rent payable during the month in which such expiration or termination occurs, plus [ii] all General Additional Rent accruing during the month, plus [iii] any and all other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. During any continued tenancy after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by applicable law, to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property until the tenancy is terminated.

The provisions of this 18.2 shall not apply in the event of the termination of the Lease upon the exercise by Tenant of the rights set forth in Article 13. 18.3 Indemnity.If Tenant fails to surrender the entire Leased Property or ---------- any part thereof upon the expiration or termination of this Lease in a timely manner and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord, its principals, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless from loss or liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, loss of rental with respect to any new lease in which the rental payable thereunder exceeds the Rent collected by Landlord pursuant to this Lease during Tenant's hold-over and any claims by any proposed new tenant founded on Tenant's failure to surrender the Leased Property. The provisions of this Article 18 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. The provisions of this 18.3 shall not apply in the event of the termination of this Lease upon the exercise by Tenant of the rights set forth in Article 13. ARTICLE 19: QUIET ENJOYMENT, SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES 19.1 Quiet En10yment.So long as Tenant performs all of its obligations ----------------- under this Lease, Tenant's possession of the Leased Property will not be disturbed by Landlord or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord. 19.2 Subordination.Subject to the terms and conditions of this section, -------------- this Lease and Tenant's rights under this Lease are subordinate to any ground lease or underlying FINAL - EXECUTION COPY - 48- lease, first mortgage, first deed of trust, or other first lien against the Leased Property, together with any renewal, consolidation, extension, modification or replacement thereof, which now or at any subsequent time affects the Leased Property or any interest of Landlord in the Leased Property, except to the extent that any such instrument expressly provides that this Lease is superior. The foregoing subordination provision is expressly conditioned upon any lessor or mortgagee being obligated and bound to recognize Tenant as the tenant under this Lease, and such lessor or mortgagee shall have no right to disturb Tenant's possession, use and occupancy of the Leased Property or Tenant's enjoyment of its rights under this Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs hereunder. Any foreclosure action or proceeding by any mortgagee with respect to the Leased Property shall not affect Tenant's rights under this Lease and shall not terminate this Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs hereunder. The foregoing provisions will be self-operative, and no further instrument will be required in order to effect them. However, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at any time and from time to time upon demand by Landlord, such documents as may be requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other instrument described in this section, to confirm or effect any such subordination, provided that any such document shall include a nondisturbance provision as set forth in this section satisfactory to Tenant.

This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 19.3 Attornment.If any holder of any mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, or ----------- other similar instrument described in 19.2 succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Leased Property, Tenant will pay to such holder all Rent subsequently payable under this Lease.

Upon request by Landlord or such successor in interest and without cost to Landlord or such successor in interest, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the attornment. If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such instrument within 20 days after written demand, then Landlord or such successor in interest will be entitled to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any such document. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 19.4 Estoppel Certificates.At the request of Landlord or any mortgagee or ----------------------- purchaser of the Leased Property, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver an estoppel certificate, in recordable form, in favor of Landlord or any mortgagee or purchaser of the Leased FINAL - EXECUTION COPY - 49- Property certifying the following: [i] that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications; [ii] the date to which Rent and other charges have been paid; [iii] whether Tenant or Landlord is in default or whether there is any fact or condition known to Landlord or Tenant which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default, and specifying any existing default, if any; [iv] that Tenant has accepted and occupies the Leased Property; [v] that Tenant has no defenses, set-offs, deductions, credits, or counterclaims against Landlord, if that be the case, or specifying such that exist; and [vi] such other information as may reasonably be requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or purchaser.
