4.                                      Modifications for all New Projects.  Notwithstanding any terms or provisions of the Master Agreement or the 2014 Master Lease to the contrary, with respect to all New Projects closed by the parties utilizing proceeds of the Funding Commitment Increase, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

 

(a)                                 the “Lease Rate” or “Applicable Lease Rate” as defined in the 2014 Master Lease or applicable JV Master Lease for such New Projects shall be a per annum rate of Eight and Seven- Eighths Percent (8.875%), subject to annual escalators as provided therein; and

 

(b)                                 there shall be no letters of credit required for such New Projects, and no increases to letters of credit otherwise required under the 2014 Master Lease or applicable JV Lease as a result of such New Projects.

 

5.                                      JV Modifications.  MPT acknowledges that Adeptus and its Affiliates will pursue one or more regionally-specific joint venture arrangements with new partners for the purposes of developing, owning and operating healthcare facilities (each, a “New JV Project”).  In connection with each New JV Project, subject to all other terms and conditions of the Master Agreement with respect to New Projects and the approval of Target Properties, the MPT Parties and the Adeptus Parties agree to the following modifications to the 2014 Master Lease (which shall be incorporated into a new JV Master Lease) (collectively, the “JV Modifications”):

 

(a)                                 in connection with each Adeptus JV, the applicable Adeptus Affiliate that will enter into the new JV Master Lease as lessee thereunder shall join in the Master Agreement as a party thereto (each, an “Adeptus JV Lessee”); provided, however, that such Adeptus JV Lessee’s representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations under the Master Agreement shall apply only with respect to the New JV Project to which it relates and to any other New JV Projects relating to the same Adeptus JV, but not to any other New Projects;

 

(b)                                 the obligations of the Adeptus JV Lessee under such JV Master Lease shall not be cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized to the Adeptus Parties’ obligations under and relating to the 2013 Master Lease or the 2014 Master Lease (collectively, the “Existing Leases”); provided,

 

3

 

however, that the obligations of the Adeptus JV Lessee under and relating to such JV Master Lease shall be secured by the security documents and other credit enhancements securing the Existing Leases and monetary and material non-monetary defaults under such JV Master Lease shall constitute defaults under the Existing Leases (but not vice versa);

 

(c)                                  defaults or events of default under the 2013 Master Funding Agreement or the Master Agreement (but only to the extent any such default under the Master Agreement does not relate to the applicable Adeptus JV Lessee or the applicable New JV Projects) shall not constitute defaults under such JV Master Lease;

 

(d)                                 the obligations under the Existing Leases relating to each Adeptus Lessee being a “Special Purpose Entity” and maintaining all Licenses (as defined in the Existing Master Leases) for the operation of the applicable Facility shall be modified to reflect the actual ownership and licensing structure of the Adeptus JV, including, without limitation, modifying certain covenants relating to the Licenses under the Existing Leases (including Article XXXVII under each of the Existing Leases) which require more than the reasonable cooperation of the Adeptus Lessees thereunder;

 

(e)                                  the new Adeptus JV Lessee (as herein defined) shall sublease the properties relating to such Adeptus JV to Affiliates of such Adeptus JV pursuant to a master sublease in substantially the same form as the JV Master Lease (each, a “JV Master Sublease”), and the sublessees under the JV Master Sublease (each, an “Adeptus JV Sublessee”) shall enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form mutually agreeable to the parties (each, a “JV SNDA”); and

 

(f)                                   such other modifications to the structure and the leasing documents as the parties shall mutually agree.

 

6.                                      Future Adeptus JV.  Based upon the representations and warranties set forth in the Master Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof and hereof, and subject to the foregoing JV Modifications, MPT shall cause the applicable MPT Lessors to fund the applicable Project Purchase Price (or Existing Facility Purchase Price), all Closing Costs, Pursuit Costs for the Assets relating to New JV Project, any items with respect to which Adeptus is responsible pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Master Agreement) and all hard and soft costs for the construction of Improvements in connection with New JV Projects, relating to (a) the acquisition of Real Property and the construction of additional Improvements relating to ER Facilities, (b) the acquisition of Real Property and the construction of additional Improvements relating to Hospital Facilities, and (c) the acquisition of Real Property relating to existing Hospital Facilities.

 

7.                                      Colorado JV.  MPT and Adeptus have agreed to restructure the Existing Master Leases to provide that all of the Colorado Properties be severed from the Existing Leases and be made subject to a JV Master Lease among the applicable MPT Lessors and the Colorado Lessee, the form of which will be mutually agreed to by MPT and Adeptus (the “Colorado JV Master Lease”).  It is understood and agreed that, in connection with the Colorado JV Master Lease, the Colorado Lessee will sublease the Colorado Properties (and any other properties acquired by an MPT Parties to be operated by the Colorado JV) to wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Colorado JV (collectively, the “Colorado JV Subs”) pursuant to a JV Master Sublease, which shall be

 

4

 

substantially similar in form and substance to the Colorado JV Master Lease.  From and after the date hereof, (a) all New Projects relating to Real Property located in the State of Colorado and Laramie County, Wyoming shall, on the Applicable Closing Date, be made subject to the Colorado JV Master Lease rather than the Master Lease; (b) all obligations of the Adeptus Lessees under and relating to the Colorado Master Lease shall be secured by all security agreements, guarantees and other security documents securing the Master Lease (but not vice versa); and (c) all monetary and material non-monetary defaults under the Colorado JV Master Lease shall constitute a default under the Master Lease (but not vice versa).

 

8.                                      Commitment Fee. In addition to any other amounts required to be paid by Adeptus hereunder, contemporaneously with the execution of this Amendment, Adeptus shall pay to MPT or its designee a commitment fee in the amount of Six Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($625,000.00) (the “Funding Increase Commitment Fee”), which Funding Increase Commitment Fee shall be deemed fully earned and nonrefundable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Adeptus’ payment of the Funding Increase Commitment Fee shall be deferred solely to the extent necessary for Adeptus to remain in compliance with the provisions of ASC 840 40 55 and Adeptus shall make monthly payments of the Funding Increase Commitment Fee to MPT on the first (1) day of each month after the date hereof, provided that the Funding Increase Commitment Fee shall be paid in full no later than the date of Completion (as defined in the applicable Project Development Agreement) of the first New Development Project utilizing proceeds of the Funding Commitment Increase.  Contemporaneously with each payment, Adeptus shall deliver to MPT a written explanation of the payment amount and the current calculation of the payment limitations under ASC 840 40 55, which explanation shall be in such detail as reasonably necessary for MPT to confirm the prevailing payment limitation.

Exhibit 10.2

First Amendment to the Amgen Inc. Amended and Restated
2009 Equity Incentive Plan

The Amgen Inc. Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is hereby amended, effective as of March 4, 2015, as follows:

		
	1.
	Article I shall be revised by replacing references to “the Board, Employees, and Consultants” in such Article I with “the Board and Employees”.

		
	2.
	Section 2.14 (“Consultant”) shall be deleted in its entirety and Sections 2.15 through and including Section 2.18 shall be renumbered to reflect such deletion.

		
	3.
	The following new Section 2.19 shall be added:

		
	2.19
	“Eligible Employee” shall mean an Employee described in subsection (a) of this Section who is not excluded under subsection (b).  An individual’s status as an Eligible Employee shall be determined by the Company or the related Affiliate, if applicable, based on how the Company or the related Affiliate, if applicable, treats the individual.

		
	(a)
	Included Employees.  Unless excluded under (b) below, an individual regarded by the Company or the related Affiliate, if applicable, as a regular Employee working twenty (20) or more hours per week or an Employee on an authorized leave of absence, as determined by the Company or the related Affiliate, as applicable, who customarily worked twenty (20) or more hours per week before going on leave.

		
	(b)
	Excluded Employees. An Employee shall not be an Eligible Employee for any period in which the Company or the related Affiliate, if applicable, regards the Employee as:

		
	(i)
	not on the payroll of the Company or Affiliate, if applicable, even though such person may be deemed, for any reason, to be an Employee;

		
	(ii)
	a “leased employee” within the meaning of Section 414(n) of the Code with respect to the Employer; or

		
	(iii)
	a “temporary employee,” “independent contractor,” or “consultant,” regardless of how long the person actually works for the Company or the related Affiliate, if applicable. 

		
	4.
	The definition “Eligible Individual” shall deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Eligible Individual” shall mean any person who is an Eligible Employee or a Non-Employee Director, as determined by the Committee.

		
	5.
	The definition “Employee” shall deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Employee” shall mean an individual regarded by the Company or any Affiliate as its employee, as evidenced by the Company’s, or such subsidiary corporation’s withholding of any income tax (including federal state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related obligations from such person’s wages or other cash compensation.  If, during any period, the Company or any Affiliate has not regarded an individual as an Employee and, for that reason, has not withheld income tax (including federal state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related obligations with respect to that individual, 

then that individual shall not be an Eligible Employee for that period, even in the event that the individual is determined, retroactively, to have been an Employee during all or any portion of that period.

		
	6.
	Section 2.31 shall be revised by deleting the words “Non-Employee Directors and Consultants” and replacing them with “Non-Employee Directors”.

		
	7.
	Sub-section (a) of Section 2.52 (“Termination of Service”) shall deleted in its entirety and replaced with “(a) Reserved”

		
	8.
	Section 4.5 (At-Will Employment) shall revised by deleting the words “Director or Consultant” and replacing them with “Director”.

		
	9.
	Section 4.6 (Foreign Holders) shall revised by deleting the words “Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants” and replacing them with “Employees or Non-Employee Directors”.

		
	10.
	Section 9.8 (Exercise upon Termination of Service) shall revised by deleting the words “Employee, Director or Consultant” and replacing them with “Employee, Director or Consultant” and replacing them with “Employee or Director”.

		
	11.
	Section 13.6 (Effect of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans) shall revised by deleting the words “Employees, Directors or Consultants” and replacing them with “Employees or Directors”.

I hereby certify that the foregoing First Amendment to the Amgen Inc. Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan was duly adopted by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Amgen Inc. on March 4, 2015.
