(a)           Line of Credit.  Prior to the date of this Amendment, pursuant to the Security Agreement, Lessee has granted to Lessor a first priority security interest in the accounts receivable generated by the Facilities.  LaSalle currently has a security interest in the accounts receivable from the Facilities to secure the LaSalle Loans. Lessor and LaSalle have entered into the Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which Lessor has agreed to subordinate its security interest in the accounts receivable generated by the Facilities.  If Lessee and/or the Sublessees, or any Affiliate of Lessee (other than Affiliates who are the operators of the Florida Managed Facilities, as defined in the Settlement and Restructuring Agreement), obtain, concurrently with or after the date of this Amendment, a working capital line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) from a third-party working capital lender that requires that, in order to secure the Line of Credit, Lessee and/or the Sublessees must grant to the working capital lender a first priority security interest in the accounts receivable from the Facilities accruing during the Term, then Lessor will subordinate its security interest in the accounts receivable from the Facilities accruing during the Term to the security interest of such working capital lender, provided that:

(i)           The working capital lender executes and delivers to Lessor an intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; and

(ii)           The lien of Lessor in accounts receivable from the Facilities shall be subordinated to the lien of the working capital lender therein only to the extent of amounts advanced from time to time by the working capital lender to Lessee and/or the Sublessees with respect to the Facilities and only in the amount of $17,400,000.00, plus interest, penalties and other charges under the loan documents evidencing the Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit Documents”) with respect to principal amounts advanced;

(iii)           Lessee delivers to Lessor the A/R Replacement Security Deposit and the Letter of Credit Agreement (as defined below);

(iv)           The LaSalle Loans have been repaid in full or, in the alternative, the Temporary Revolving Loan and the Term Loan have been repaid, and an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement with the holder of the remaining LaSalle Loans is entered into providing for the priority cap contemplated by sub-paragraph 39(a)(ii) above (the "LaSalle Amendment") in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; and

(v)           As of the date of entry by Lessor into the intercreditor agreement, of the LaSalle Amendment, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b)           Lessee acknowledges and agrees that on the occurrence of a “Default”, “Event of Default” or similar event or occurrences which causes the lender under the Line of Credit Documents to accelerate any or all of the indebtedness thereby or to exercise any rights or remedies under such documents to realize on its interest in the accounts receivable from the Facilities, or to cease funding under the Line of Credit, which is not cured within any applicable cure period under the Line of Credit Documents or any written agreement by lender, shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease.

(c)           Concurrently with the delivery of the intercreditor agreement by Lessor pursuant to Section 39.5(a)(i) above or the LaSalle Amendment, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor al Security Deposit in an amount equal to the sum of (i) six (6) times the monthly Non-Texas Base Rent (the “Initial Amount”) plus (ii) three (3) times the monthly Texas Base Rent then payable under this Lease, in the form of an absolute, unconditional site draft letter of credit for a term of one (1) year (renewable automatically) issued by an “A” rated financial institution (“A/R Replacement Security Deposit”), which Lessor shall hold as security for the full and faithful performance by Lessee of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of this Lease in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit Agreement.   On August 31, 2008, and each subsequent anniversary of such date thereafter, the amount of the A/R Replacement Security Deposit required to be maintained by Lessee on deposit with Lessor shall be reduced by 16.66% (or 1/6) of the Initial Amount if and only if on the applicable anniversary date (i) Lessee has maintained a Stressed Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve months of at least 1.45 and (ii) no Event of Default exists.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall the A/R Replacement Security Deposit be less than an amount equal to three times the monthly Base Rent payable under this Lease on the date of delivery of the A/R Replacement Security Deposit.  Upon delivery to Lessor of the A/R Replacement Security Deposit and the intercreditor agreement pursuant to this Section 39.5(a)(i) or the LaSalle Amendment, the amount of the Security Deposit required under Section 39.1 shall be set equal to the A/R Replacement Security Deposit.

11. Single, indivisible Lease.  The Master Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Leased Properties, and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The Leased Properties constitute one economic unit, and the Base Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based on a demise of all of the Leased Properties as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly provided herein for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Lease apply equally and uniformly to all the Leased Properties as one unit. An Event of Default with respect to any Leased Property is an Event of Default as to all of the Leased Properties. The parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all the Leased Properties and, in particular but without limitation, that for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. 365, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Leased Properties covered hereby.

12. Representations and Warranties of Lessee.  Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that (i) it has the right and power and is duly authorized to enter into this Agreement; and (ii) the execution of this Agreement does not and will not constitute a breach of any provision contained in any agreement or instrument to which Lessee is or may become a party or by which Lessee is or may be bound or affected

13. Execution and Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but when taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.

14. Headings.  Section headings used in this Amendment are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of the Amendment.

15. Enforceability.  Except as expressly and specifically set forth herein, the Existing Master Lease remains unmodified and in full force and effect.  In the event of any discrepancy between the Existing Master Lease and this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment will control and the Existing Master Lease is deemed amended to conform hereto.
