RECITALS
A.    PropCo Seller owns fifty-one percent (51%) of the membership interests in CCRC PropCo Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “PropCo,” and such portion of the limited liability company interests in the PropCo, the “PropCo Interests”). The PropCo owns, directly or indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in each of the subsidiaries listed on Schedule A-1 attached hereto (each, a “PropCo Sub”). Each PropCo Sub specified on Schedule B attached hereto owns one or more of the independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing and/or memory care facilities listed on Schedule B in entrance fee continuing care retirement communities (each, a “Facility”) and leases such Facility or Facilities to the OpCo Sub or OpCo Subs (as defined herein) specified on Schedule B.
B.    OpCo Seller owns fifty-one percent (51%) of the membership interests in CCRC OpCo Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “OpCo” and, together with PropCo, the “JV Entities” and each, a “JV Entity;” such portion of the limited liability company interests in the OpCo, the “OpCo Interests” and, together with the PropCo Interests, the “JV Interests”). The OpCo owns one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in each of the subsidiaries listed on Schedule A‐2 attached hereto (each, an “OpCo Sub;” the OpCo Subs and PropCo Subs, collectively, the “JV Subs” and each, a “JV Sub”). Each OpCo Sub either leases the Facility specified on Schedule B from the applicable PropCo Sub specified on Schedule B or owns such Facility as specified on Schedule B and, in any case, has engaged BKD Twenty-One Management Company, Inc. (“Manager”), a subsidiary of Brookdale and an affiliate of Sellers, to manage and operate such Facility pursuant to a management agreement and related master pooling agreement (such management agreements and master pooling agreement, as amended, collectively, the “Management Agreements”). 
C.    PropCo Seller desires to sell to PropCo Purchaser all of the PropCo Interests, and PropCo Purchaser desires to purchase the PropCo Interests from PropCo Seller, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 


    











D.    OpCo Seller desires to sell to OpCo Purchaser all of the OpCo Interests, and OpCo Purchaser desires to purchase the OpCo Interests from OpCo Seller, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
E.    Purchasers are each wholly-owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries of HCP. 
F.    In furtherance of, and in addition to, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, concurrently herewith, (i) HCP and Brookdale are entering into that certain Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement of even date with the Effective Date (as the same may be amended or modified in accordance with its terms, the “MTCA”) and (ii) Manager, Life Care Services LLC, an Iowa limited liability company (“New Manager”), Emeritus Corporation (a subsidiary of Brookdale), and each applicable OpCo Sub is entering into an Operations Transfer Agreement of even date with the Effective Date hereof with respect to each Facility leased or owned by such OpCo Sub as identified on Schedule B attached hereto, and each in the form attached as Exhibit F to the MTCA (each as the same may be amended or modified in accordance with its terms, an “OTA” and collectively, the “OTAs”).
G.    Prior to the Closing (as defined herein), the parties hereto and their affiliates will consummate an internal restructuring of the JV Entities to the extent required in accordance with Section 2.2 of the MTCA (the “Internal Restructuring”) pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Master Distribution and Contribution Agreement in the form attached thereto as Exhibit D (the “MDCA”). The direct and indirect ownership of the senior housing communities commonly known as Robin Run (IN) (including the garden homes at Robin Run), Freedom Village Bradenton (FL) and Foxwood Springs (MO) (collectively, the “Sale Facilities”) will be restructured prior to the Closing as part of the Internal Restructuring pursuant to the MDCA and therefore, (i) such Sale Facilities are not included as Facilities on Schedule B, (ii) the entities that own such Sale Facilities are not included as PropCo Subs on Schedule A-1 and (iii) the entities that lease such Sale Facilities are not included as OpCo Subs on Schedule A-2.

At Closing, Purchasers and Sellers shall, or shall cause their respective affiliates (including the OpCo Subs and, with respect to Sellers, Manager) to, duly execute and deliver the Omnibus Termination Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Termination Agreement”) terminating all of the management agreements with respect to the Facilities, and the master pooling agreement, effective as of Closing, all as more particularly described therein. In connection with such termination and as further provided for in the Termination Agreement, Purchasers shall, or shall cause their respective affiliates to, pay to Manager, concurrently with the payment of the Purchase Price to Sellers, One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) as a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or bank accounts designated by Manager in writing.  The Termination Fee shall be allocable to the Management Agreements being terminated pursuant to the Termination Agreement as provided for therein.
2.5    Tax Proceedings.

Similarly, in the event that any additional amount of real or personal property taxes (inclusive of penalties and interest but excluding for the avoidance of doubt such proceeding relating to taxes arising from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other transaction occurring outside the ordinary course of business) is assessed against or required to be paid by any of the JV Entities, Purchasers or their respective affiliates with respect to any tax proceeding described in the preceding sentence, Sellers shall pay (or cause to be paid to) to Purchasers, as a purchase price adjustment, fifty-one percent (51%) of such amount due, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, within ten (10) business days after the final determination by the applicable tax authority of such amount. Purchasers shall keep Sellers informed of any such tax proceedings and shall not without the prior written consent of Sellers (such consent not to be 


5







unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such tax proceeding, or agree to any of the foregoing.

(b)    Preparation of Balance Sheet and Average Daily NOI.
(i)    Not less than two (2) business days prior to the Closing, Sellers shall provide Purchasers (A) an estimated consolidated balance sheet (the “Estimated Balance Sheet”) for the JV Entities as of (x) the Closing Date, if the Closing Date is the last day of a calendar month, or (y) the last day of the calendar month preceding the calendar month of the Closing Date, if the Closing Date is any other day of a calendar month (in either case, the “Balance Sheet Date”), which shall include Sellers’ good faith calculation, prepared from the books and records of the JV Entities and based on the most recently available financial information, of the estimated Net Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the day of the Balance Sheet Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (B) a statement reflecting Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Average Daily NOI for the three (3) calendar month period ending on the Balance Sheet Date (the “Estimated Average Daily NOI”), and (C) a calculation of the Purchase Price payable at Closing based thereon.

10







the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital or the Three-Month Average Daily NOI; provided that Purchasers may object to the Closing Balance Sheet or the Three-Month Average Daily NOI based only on the existence of mathematical or factual errors contained therein or on the failure of either the Closing Balance Sheet or the Three-Month Average Daily NOI to be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Guidelines. Within thirty (30) days following timely delivery of the Objection Notice, Sellers and Purchasers shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve all disputes properly contained in the Objection Notice. If Sellers and Purchasers do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) days after Purchasers deliver an Objection Notice, then Sellers and Purchasers shall submit such dispute to an Accounting Firm.

For the purposes of the Accounting Firm’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital or the Three-Month Average Daily NOI, the amounts to be included shall be the appropriate amounts from the Closing Balance Sheet or the Three-Month Average Daily NOI, as applicable, as to items that are not in dispute, and the amounts determined by the Accounting Firm as to items that are in dispute. Purchasers and Sellers shall cooperate with the Accounting Firm in making its determination and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto absent manifest error.
(iv)    If Purchasers do not deliver an Objection Notice during the Objection Period, then the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet and the Three-Month Average Daily NOI as provided by Sellers shall be deemed to have been accepted and shall be final and binding on all parties. The term “Final Closing Balance Sheet” means (A) the Closing Balance Sheet, if Purchasers accept the Closing Balance Sheet as delivered or do not deliver an Objection Notice during the Objection Period, or (B) the Closing Balance Sheet as finally determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4(b)(iii) to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto, if Purchasers deliver an Objection Notice during the Objection Period. The term “Actual Net Working Capital” means the Closing Net Working Capital calculated pursuant to the Final Closing Balance Sheet.

The term “Actual Average Daily NOI” means the Three-Month Average Daily NOI calculated pursuant to the Final Three-Month Average Daily NOI.

(v)    In the event the parties hereto submit any unresolved objections to the Accounting Firm for resolution as provided in Section 3.4(b)(iii) above, Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchasers, on the other, shall share responsibility for the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm equally.
(vi)    Sellers will make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Estimated Balance Sheet, the Estimated Average Daily NOI, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Three-Month Average Daily NOI available to Purchasers’ accountant and other representatives at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice at any time during (A) the review by Purchasers of the Estimated Balance Sheet, the Estimated Average Daily NOI, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Three-Month Average Daily NOI, as applicable, and (B) the resolution by Purchasers and Sellers of any objections thereto.
(c)    Purchase Price Adjustment Based on Net Working Capital and Average Daily NOI at Closing. The Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be increased by an amount equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the sum of (i) the Estimated Net Working Capital plus (ii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the Estimated Average Daily NOI, multiplied by (B) the number of days following the Balance Sheet Date, up to but not including the Closing Date plus (iii) during the period from the Balance Sheet Date to the Closing Date (A) the proceeds from all entrance fee sales (including both the refundable and nonrefundable portions thereof and any promissory note received in connection therewith), minus (B) the amount of any entrance fee refunds that are due to be paid from the cash proceeds of any entrance fee units sold and where the refundable portion of such entrance fee for any such sold unit has not been actually refunded to the former resident of such unit, provided that all conditions precedent for such refund to such former resident have been met with the sole exception being the passage of time, and such period is less than 120 days (the sum of (i) plus (ii) plus (iii) is referred to herein as the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”); provided, however, if the Estimated Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be decreased by an amount equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the Estimated Adjustment Amount.
(d)    Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Based on Net Working Capital and Average Daily NOI. Following determination of the Actual Net Working Capital and the Actual Average Daily NOI, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:
(i)    If the Actual Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be increased by fifty-one percent (51%) of the amount by which the Actual Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital.

(iv)    If the Estimated Average Daily NOI exceeds the Actual Average Daily NOI, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by fifty-one percent (51%) of an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount by which the Estimated Average Daily NOI exceeds the Actual Average Daily NOI, multiplied by (B) the number of days following the Balance Sheet Date up to but not including the Closing Date.
To the extent the Purchase Price is increased pursuant to this Section 3.4(d), Purchasers shall pay to Sellers such amount by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, within three (3) business days after the later of (i) final determination of such increase and (ii) the date Sellers provide notice to Purchasers of wire transfer instructions. To the extent the Purchase Price is decreased pursuant to this Section 3.4(d), Sellers shall pay to Purchasers such amount by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, within three (3) business days after the later of (i) final determination of such decrease and (ii) the date Purchasers provide notice to Sellers of wire transfer instructions. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive Closing.

Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described in this Agreement, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is not a business day, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is a business day. The final day of any such period shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time. As used in this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks are authorized or required by law to be closed in the States of California or New York. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement.
9.6    Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are to apply to and bind the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
9.7    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits and all documents delivered at Closing pursuant hereto, the MTCA, the OTAs and the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of September 3, 2019, by and between Brookdale and HCP contain the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and fully supersede all prior written or oral agreements and understandings between the parties hereto pertaining to such subject matter.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the MTCA, the terms of the MTCA shall govern and control. 
9.8    Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees that it will, without further consideration, execute and deliver such other documents and take such other action subsequent to Closing as may be reasonably requested by any other party hereto to consummate more effectively the purposes or subject matter of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.8 shall survive Closing.
9.9    Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and all such executed counterparts shall constitute the same agreement. Signatures to this Agreement, any amendment hereof, and any notice given hereunder, executed and transmitted by facsimile (or by copies of physically signed documents exchanged via e-mail attachments in PDF or an equivalent format) shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing.
9.10    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
9.11    Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT IS PERFORMABLE IN THE STATE 


24

9.12    No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Sellers and Purchasers only and are not for the benefit of any third party (including, without limitation, any broker), and, accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement (other than Seller Indemnified Parties or Purchasers’ Indemnified Parties, to the extent provided herein) or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing (except as otherwise expressly provided therein). The provisions of this Section 9.12 shall survive the Closing.
9.13    Captions. The section headings appearing in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended, to any extent and for any purpose, to limit or define the text of any section or any subsection hereof.

9.15    No Implied Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, and no course of dealing between or among the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.
9.16    Public Announcements. Section 5.8 of the MTCA shall apply to this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
9.17    Joint and Several Liability of Sellers and Purchasers.

9.19    Effective Time. This Agreement shall be effective as of 12:00:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on October 1, 2019.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.20, Sellers and their affiliates shall cooperate with PropCo Purchaser, HCP and its affiliates in effecting an Exchange with respect to the PropCo JV Interest (or any portion thereof).
