that would (with or without the giving of notice and/or passage of time) result in any breach, default or violation of any loan document or Legal Requirement or give any lender or Governmental Authority any termination, cancellation, acceleration, suspension or other right or remedy adverse to HCP or its Affiliates.

Section 4.4 Additional Contributions and Payments: A Facilities and B Facility.

(a) The A Purchase Agreement (i) provides for an aggregate purchase price of $205 million for the A Facilities, and (ii) permits BKD A Acquisition to assign all of its rights thereunder to CCRC Op-HoldCo. On the Closing Date, Brookdale shall cause BKD A Acquisition to assign to CCRC Op-HoldCo, and CCRC Op-HoldCo shall assume, all of the rights and obligations of BKD A Acquisition thereunder pursuant to the assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit X-1 (the “A Assignment”). During any diligence period provided under the A Purchase Agreement, HCP shall be entitled to review all diligence materials relating to the A Facilities made available pursuant to the A Purchase Agreement. From and after the execution of the A Purchase Agreement until the consummation of the closing thereunder, all decisions with respect to amending such agreement and exercising any rights and remedies of the buyer thereunder (including, without limitation, the right of the buyer to elect to terminate the A Purchase Agreement for any reason) shall be made jointly and reasonably by HCP and Brookdale.

(b) The B Purchase Agreement (i) provides for an aggregate purchase price of $118.5 million for the B Facility, and (ii) permits BKD B Acquisition to assign all of its rights thereunder to CCRC P-HoldCo. On the Closing Date, Brookdale shall cause BKD B Acquisition (i) to assign to CCRC P-HoldCo, and CCRC P-HoldCo shall assume, all of the rights and obligations of BKD B Acquisition thereunder except inasmuch as such rights and obligations relate to the Inventory, Permits and Approvals and Operational Personal Property (as such terms are defined in the OTAs) and (ii) to assign to CCRC Op-HoldCo, and CCRC Op-HoldCo shall assume, all of the rights and obligations of BKD B Acquisition thereunder inasmuch as such rights and obligations relate to the Inventory, Permits and Approvals and Operational Personal Property (as such terms are defined in the OTAs), in each case pursuant to the assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit X-2 (the “B

43

Assignment”). During any diligence period provided under the B Purchase Agreement, HCP shall be entitled to review all diligence materials relating to the B Facility made available pursuant to the B Purchase Agreement. From and after the execution of the B Purchase Agreement until the consummation of the closing thereunder, all decisions with respect to amending such agreement and exercising any rights and remedies of the buyer thereunder (including, without limitation, the right of the buyer to elect to terminate the B Purchase Agreement for any reason) shall be made jointly and reasonably by HCP and Brookdale.

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) “PropCo Acquisition Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the applicable purchase price (which amount shall include the amount of any prepayment penalty paid to the applicable seller’s lender which the buyer under the B Purchase Agreement is required to pay) for the PropCo Acquisition Facility, without adjustment for any closing pro-rations or any other items and (ii) “OpCo Acquisition Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the applicable purchase price for the OpCo Acquisition Facilities, without adjustment for any closing pro-rations or any other items. If the sum of (x) the aggregate purchase prices for the A Facilities and B Facility specified in Section 4.4(a) and Section 4.4(b), as adjusted by closing prorations and any other closing adjustments and (y) all closing costs (including title insurance costs and transfer taxes) and reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of such facilities (such sum, the “Aggregate Acquisition Amount”) is greater than the PropCo Acquisition Amount and the OpCo Acquisition Amount, in the aggregate, such excess shall be allocated as a CCRC Required P-HoldCo Additional Contribution and a CCRC Required Op-HoldCo Additional Contribution pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of the PropCo Acquisition Amount and the OpCo Acquisition Amount. If the sum of the PropCo Acquisition Amount and the OpCo Acquisition Amount, in the aggregate, is greater than the Aggregate Acquisition Amount, such excess shall be retained by CCRC P-HoldCo and CCRC Op-HoldCo, allocated pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of the PropCo Acquisition Amount and the OpCo Acquisition Amount, for the benefit of its members.

(d) If (i) the Closing has not occurred as of the last day that the buyer under the A Purchase Agreement, or the buyer under the B Purchase Agreement, has the right to close under such purchase agreement, then (assuming such buyer has not elected to terminate such purchase agreement as described above) and (ii) the Parties are unable to agree (in the sole and absolute discretion of each) on the terms of a joint venture between the Parties (or an Affiliate of each) to acquire the applicable facilities, then Brookdale shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion and through a wholly-owned subsidiary) to consummate the acquisition of the B Facility and the A Facilities. In such event, on the date of such closing HCP or a subsidiary of HCP shall make an acquisition loan (an “Acquisition Loan”) to a subsidiary of Brookdale based on the terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Schedule 24. Each of HCP and Brookdale will cooperate prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the B Purchase Agreement and the A Purchase Agreement to prepare the documentation required to give effect to the terms of this Section 4.4(d). In addition, each of Brookdale and HCP shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith to structure and consummate such transactions in a manner that is designed to maximize the efficiency of such transactions, taking into account taxes, costs and other business considerations relating thereto.

44

In the event Brookdale (or its subsidiaries) shall acquire the B Facility and/or the A Facility prior to the Closing, in connection with the Closing, Brookdale shall cause its applicable subsidiary that acquires such facilities to (i) execute an interim operations agreement substantially in the form of the Interim Operations Agreement which agreement shall terminate at the earlier of Closing and the Outside Closing Date, (ii) enter into a purchase and sale agreement with CCRC P-HoldCo, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to HCP and Brookdale, pursuant to which such subsidiary shall sell the B Facility (or 100% of the equity interest in the owner of the B Facility), free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances other than those that existed immediately prior to such subsidiary’s acquisition thereof, to CCRC P-HoldCo at Closing for the same purchase price contemplated by the B Purchase Agreement and (iii) enter into a purchase and sale agreement with CCRC Op-HoldCo, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to HCP and Brookdale, pursuant to which such subsidiary shall sell each of the A Facilities (or 100% of the equity interests in the owner(s) of the A Facilities), free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances other than those that existed immediately prior to such subsidiary’s acquisition thereof, to CCRC Op-HoldCo at Closing for the same purchase price contemplated by the A Purchase Agreement. The purchase and sale agreements shall include customary closing conditions including the parties obtaining all Required Governmental Approvals and the repayment of the Acquisition Loan (a “JV Closing Payoff”) and shall provide that the buyer or seller of the applicable facilities will receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to the amount by which (A) the aggregate entrance fee liabilities with respect to such facilities as of 11:59:59 p.m., local time, on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date, exceed (in the case of a credit to the buyer) or are less than (in the case of a credit to the seller) (B) the aggregate entrance fee liabilities with respect to such facilities as of 11:59:59 p.m., local time, on the date immediately prior to the date on which Brookdale (or its subsidiaries) acquired such facilities (it being understood that, for purposes of this sentence, the term “entrance fee liabilities” shall mean, with respect to any facility, the (1) refundable entry fees, (2) deferred revenue attributable to entry fees, (3) My Choice or PIPP refund liabilities and (4) master trust liabilities to the extent not included in prior clauses (1)-(3), all determined with respect to such facility in accordance with GAAP).

Brookdale and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation to make any representation and warranty with respect to the B Facility and the A Facilities in the purchase and sale agreements in favor of the buyer, the Parties agreeing and acknowledging that Brookdale shall make the representation and warranty set forth in Section 7.2(e) at Closing. The Parties agree that (in the event that the Closing occurs) HCP and its affiliates shall continue to be obligated (notwithstanding Brookdale’s prior acquisition of the B Facility and the A Facilities) to comply with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 3.2 and Section 3.3) in relation to funding the acquisition by CCRC P-HoldCo and CCRC Op-HoldCo of the B Facility and the A Facilities, respectively. If the Closing shall occur, Brookdale shall be reimbursed at Closing in accordance with Section 8.3(b) and (c) for costs and expenses incurred by Brookdale and its subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of the B Facility and the A Facilities. If Brookdale acquires the B Facility and the A Facilities prior to Closing, Section 8.1 shall be modified to reflect the additional closing deliveries contemplated by this Section 4.4(d).

The provisions of this Section 4.4(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

With respect to any other missing information and/or blanks or other required exhibits and/or schedules to any of the Closing Documents prior to the execution and delivery thereof, the Parties shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, cooperate reasonably and in good faith with one another in completing the same;

(ii) certain of the definitive Closing Documents have not yet

48

been agreed to (including the HCP/BKD RIDEA Loan Documents and the HCP RIDEA Mezz Loan Documents), but the Parties have agreed upon the material terms and conditions of such documents. With respect to such Closing Documents the Parties shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to cooperate and negotiate reasonably and in good faith to reach agreement on such definitive Closing Documents;

(iii) Each of HCP and Brookdale agrees that (A) it is the intent of the Parties that (1) the RIDEA TRS Lease and the CCRC TRS Lease be structured in a manner such that each is treated as a “true lease” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (2) the CCRC TRS Lease is structured in a manner such it that is treated as a capital lease for purposes of GAAP, (B) the Parties will cooperate, prior to the Closing Date, to modify the forms of the RIDEA TRS Lease and the CCRC TRS Lease as reasonably necessary to ensure such treatment and (C) subject to the foregoing, the final forms of the RIDEA TRS Lease and the CCRC TRS Lease shall be subject to the reasonable approval of each of the Parties; and

(iv) certain of the Closing Documents require the parties thereto to make certain representations and warranties or confirmations regarding the existence or absence of certain factual matters as of the Closing Date, the truth and accuracy of which cannot or may not be known until the Closing Date (each, a “Closing Date Document Representation”). Accordingly, at or prior to the Closing, any Party may, or may cause its applicable Affiliate to, deliver to the other Parties hereto a written notice or a schedule to any such Closing Document identifying any Closing Date Document Representation that is not, or will not be, true and correct as of the Closing Date and explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change (an “Exception Notice/Schedule”). If a Party or its Affiliate delivers an Exception Notice/Schedule with respect to any Closing Date Document Representation, then such Closing Date Document Representation of the applicable Party shall be modified at the Closing by the information set forth in such Exception Notice/Schedule, but only to the extent the same (A) results from any change that occurs between the Effective Date hereof and the Closing Date and (B) is either (1) expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement or (2) is beyond the reasonable control of such Party and its Affiliates to prevent (it being understood, however, that for purposes of all Existing HCP/BKD Agreements, the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to prohibit HCP or Brookdale or any Affiliate of either from declaring a breach or event of default as a result of the actions or omissions of any Person occurring from and after the Effective Date hereof). If a change in a Closing Date Document Representation is (x) not permitted hereunder or (y) is within a Party’s or its Affiliate’s reasonable control to prevent, then such Closing Date Document Representation shall not be modified at the Closing by the information set forth in the Exception Notice/Schedule, and the applicable Closing Document shall be delivered without qualification and the party making such Closing Date Document Representation shall be liable or responsible, as the case may be, for the inaccuracy thereof.

Section 4.9 Formation of BKD Op-Co Subs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in furtherance of, and subject to, the terms of Section 6.2(c) hereof, after the Effective Date, Brookdale may form (i) a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries (single member) Delaware limited liability companies with respect to the CCRC Venture (each, a

At Closing, and (in whole or in part, as applicable) in lieu of each of CCRC Op-HoldCo and RIDEA Op-HoldCo forming subsidiaries as CCRC OpCo-Subs and RIDEA OpCo-Subs, respectively, pursuant to the terms of Part 4 and Part 5 of the Recitals, Brookdale shall cause BKD CCRC Op-Holdco Member and BKD RIDEA Op-Holdco Member to contribute to CCRC Op-HoldCo and RIDEA Op-HoldCo, respectively and as applicable, each of the BKD (Regulatory Approval) OpCo-Subs, and all costs and expenses incurred by Brookdale and its Affiliates in connection with the formation of the BKD (Regulatory Approval) OpCo-Subs and the application for, and pursuit of, the Required Governmental Approvals shall be reimbursed by CCRC Op-HoldCo and RIDEA Op-HoldCo, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3(c) hereof.

Section 4.10 Qualified Health Care Property Requirement. The Parties agree that each CCRC Contributed Facility and each RIDEA Contributed Facility qualifies as a “qualified health care property” in its entirety under section 856(e)(6)(D) of the Code, and, to the extent that any CCRC Contributed Facility or RIDEA Contributed Facility, or any portion thereof, does not so qualify, the Parties shall modify this Agreement and the Transactions in order to comply with the applicable REIT provisions of the Code.

Section 4.11 Monetary Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of HCP and Brookdale shall be obligated to pay off and satisfy, or otherwise cause to be released, at Closing, any monetary lien or mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest against any Contributed Facility caused by it or any of its Affiliates (whether or not such lien is a voluntary or involuntary encumbrance), including the liens securing the GE Debt, but excluding liens securing the Permitted Debt, Entrance Fee Liabilities, MLRs and taxes that are not yet due and payable.

Section 4.12 HCP CCRC Facilities Interim Covenants. Between the Effective Date and the earlier of the Closing and the Outside Closing Date, Brookdale shall cause each of the BKD Lessees (i) to operate each of the HCP CCRC Facilities in the ordinary course of business and timely pay or satisfy all of the operating expenses of each of the HCP CCRC Facilities and diligently proceed to collect the outstanding accounts receivable of each of the HCP CCRC Facilities, and (ii) (a) not to transfer any executive director or sales and marketing director of any of the HCP CCRC Facilities to a Competing Community or (b) except as reasonably necessary to provide residents or patients with an alternative level of care not provided at the applicable HCP CCRC Facilities, not to recommend the removal or transfer of a resident or patient from any of the HCP CCRC Facilities to a Competing Community; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply (i) to any recommendation of the removal or transfer of a resident or patient if it (x) is in the best interest of the care of the resident or patient or (y) is in response to an unsolicited request by the resident or his/her family or caregiver for a recommendation for alternative facilities, or (ii) if Brookdale or its Affiliates

50

engage in such actions in the ordinary course of operating their business consistent with past practice and such actions do not have a material adverse effect on any of such HCP CCRC Facilities.

Section 4.13 Acquisition Facilities Fee. Upon the later to occur of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the A Purchase Agreement and the B Purchase Agreement, CCRC P-HoldCo and CCRC Op-HoldCo shall pay (on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts of the PropCo Acquisition Amount and the OpCo Acquisition Amount) to Brookdale or an Affiliate of Brookdale, at Brookdale’s election, a fee in the amount of $3,061,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event either of the A Purchase Agreement or the B Purchase Agreement is terminated with the approval of HCP and Brookdale, CCRC P-HoldCo (if the A Purchase Agreement is terminated) and CCRC Op-HoldCo (if the B Purchase Agreement is terminated) shall pay the entire fee to Brookdale or its Affiliate upon the later to occur of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the other purchase agreement.

Section 4.14 Termination of Rights of First Refusal. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, each of HCP and Brookdale shall cause its Affiliates to execute and deliver, at or prior to Closing, a termination of the ROFRs, as applicable, in recordable form to cause the removal of such ROFRs from the applicable real estate records.

Brookdale shall promptly deliver to HCP copies of all application(s) for all such Lender Approvals and Required Governmental Approvals and copies of any such Lender Approvals and Required Governmental Approvals issued in connection therewith (if and when obtained).

(d) Waiver of Conditions. If any condition specified in Section 6.1 hereof is not fulfilled or satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date (or such other specified date for fulfillment or satisfaction thereof), provided all Parties for whom any such condition is benefiting elect, in their sole discretion, to waive such condition in writing, the applicable Transactions shall proceed to Closing. Any election to waive a condition and to proceed to Closing shall be evidenced by a written document executed on behalf of all Parties waiving such condition.

(e) Efforts to Consummate. Without limiting any provision contained in this Agreement, and subject to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur and to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI to be satisfied as soon as practicable. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under applicable Legal Requirements to consummate and make effective the Transactions. Neither Party may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VI to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s failure to act in good faith or to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur.

Section 9.1 Agreement Regarding Certain Cross-Defaulted Agreements. The Parties acknowledge and agree that HCP and/or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Brookdale and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, are parties to certain leases, guarantees and other written agreements in effect as of the Effective Date (collectively, the “Existing HCP/BKD Agreements”), and that certain of the Existing HCP/BKD Agreements (the “Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreements”) provide, in substance, that the occurrence of any breach or default by Brookdale or any Affiliate of Brookdale under any Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreement or any other lease, guarantee or other written agreement entered into after the date of any such Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreement with or in favor of HCP or any Affiliate of HCP and made by or with Brookdale or any Affiliate of Brookdale (such other future leases, guarantees or other written agreements entered into after the date of any such Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreements,

85

the “Future Cross-Defaulted Agreements”) where such default is not cured within any applicable notice and cure period set forth therein will constitute a default by Brookdale and/or its Affiliates under one or more of the Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreements. Notwithstanding that this Agreement and the other Closing Documents may constitute Future Cross-Defaulted Agreements for purposes of any of the Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreements, HCP hereby agrees that HCP shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate of HCP, to declare a default or event of default under any such Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreement solely by reason of a breach or default by Brookdale or any Affiliate of Brookdale under this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents. For avoidance of doubt, however, from and after the Closing, each NNN Lease and the Brookdale Guarantees shall at all times be and remain a Future Cross-Defaulted Agreement to the extent provided in any Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreement, and any breach or default by Brookdale and/or any Affiliate of Brookdale thereunder may, in any such case and to the extent provided in such Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreement, constitute a default or event of default under any such Existing Cross-Defaulted Agreement.

Section 9.2 Company Liabilities.

(a) It is the intention of the Parties that each of RIDEA P-HoldCo, CCRC P-HoldCo, CCRC Op-HoldCo and each of their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries (each such entity, an “Indemnitee”) shall not be obligated to pay or discharge any liabilities or other obligations which such Indemnitee would not assume or be liable for if RIDEA P-HoldCo, CCRC P-HoldCo and CCRC Op-HoldCo were receiving direct contributions of all of the RIDEA Contributed Facilities, the HCP CCRC Facilities and the BKD CCRC Facilities as opposed to indirect contributions of all or some of such facilities by contributions of equity interests in various entities (the “Assigned Entities”).

(b) In order to implement the foregoing Section 9.2(a), each of HCP and Brookdale, respectively (each, an “Indemnitor”), hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against all liabilities, obligations, debts, Claims, causes of action, judgments and damages which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by an Indemnitee after the Closing by reason of any of the following: (i) any obligations of the Assigned Entities for borrowed money (other than Permitted Debt) which were incurred prior to the Closing; (ii) all obligations and payments due from the Assigned Entities to creditors with respect to any period prior to the Closing; (iii) all obligations with respect to existing litigation against the Assigned Entities, or any litigation instituted against the Assigned Entities on or after the Closing Date to the extent based on any matter occurring prior to the Closing Date; (iv) any income, excise or franchise taxes payable by the Assigned Entities in respect of any period prior to the Closing Date; and (v) any other liabilities, obligations, debts, claims, causes of action, judgments or damages which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Assigned Entities and which are based on any matter occurring prior to the Closing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.2, the indemnity set forth in this Section 9.2 shall not apply to any Indemnitor in respect of any liability, obligation, debt, Claim, cause of action, judgment or damage based on any of the following: (i) any matter occurring, arising or accruing after the Closing Date except to the extent an Indemnitor is expressly obligated in respect thereof under other provisions of this Agreement; (ii) any matter as to which an Indemnitor is expressly relieved of any obligations or

86

responsibilities under the terms of this Agreement; (iii) any matter or item in respect of which an adjustment or apportionment has been made or provided for in this Agreement or in any Closing Document; and (iv) any matter relating to the physical condition of the (directly or indirectly) contributed facilities, including, without limitation, the need for any required repairs or replacements whether or not giving rise to any violation of law or breach of any agreement. In addition, notwithstanding the terms of this Section 9.2, the indemnification contemplated by this Section 9.2 shall not apply to any liabilities, obligations, debts, Claims, causes of action, judgments and damages which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by an Indemnitee by reason of any liability or obligation that is expressly assumed by any of RIDEA P-HoldCo, CCRC P-HoldCo, CCRC Op-HoldCo and/or any of their respective subsidiaries at (or, as applicable, following) Closing, in each case, pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or any Closing Document. Furthermore, notwithstanding the terms of this Section 9.2, the indemnification contemplated by this Section 9.2 shall not apply to any liabilities, obligations, debts, Claims, causes of action, judgments and damages which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by an Indemnitee that arise out of provisions contained or matters disclosed in the Life Estate Disclosed Documents, except to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, debts, Claims, causes of action, judgments or damages arise out of (x) any claim, lawsuit, proceeding or investigation commenced, asserted or threatened prior to the Effective Date (other than with respect to any matter disclosed in the Disclosure Letter), (y) any breach by the Indemnitor or any of its Affiliates of its performance obligations under an agreement entered into (or instrument executed and delivered) in the form of life estate residency agreement (or attachment thereto) constituting a Life Estate Disclosed Document, or (z) any criminal misconduct on the part of the Indemnitor or any of its Affiliates.

(d) The obligations and liability of the Parties under this Section 9.2 is in addition to the liability of the Parties under Article VII hereof, and is not limited in any way by the limitation on the Parties liability under said Article VII.
