AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

“Actions” has the meaning set forth in Section 7.7 hereof.
“actual cost of administrative services” has the meaning set forth in Section 7.4(C) hereof.

1

“actual cost of goods and materials” has the meaning set forth in Section 7.4(C) hereof.
“Additional Funds” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.4.A hereof.
“Additional Member” means a Person admitted to the Company as a Member pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.
“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:
(a)    decrease such deficit by any amounts that such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement or by operation of law upon liquidation of such Member’s Membership Interest or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of each of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and
(b)    increase such deficit by the items described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) .
The foregoing definition of “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
“Adjustment Factor” means 1.0; provided, however, that in the event that: (a) HCP (i) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares, (ii) splits or subdivides its outstanding REIT Shares or (iii) effects a reverse stock split or otherwise combines its outstanding REIT Shares into a smaller number of REIT Shares, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination has occurred as of such time) and (2) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination has not occurred as of such time); (b) HCP distributes any Rights, options or warrants to all holders of its REIT Shares to subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire REIT Shares (or other securities or Rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for REIT Shares) at a price per share less than the Value of a REIT Share on the record date for such distribution (each a “Distributed Right”), then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date plus the maximum number of REIT Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date plus a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the maximum number of REIT Shares 

2

purchasable under such Distributed Rights times the minimum purchase price per REIT Share under such Distributed Rights and (2) the denominator of which is the Value of a REIT Share as of the record date; provided, however, that, if before exercise thereof, any such Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the date of distribution of the Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of REIT Shares or any change in the minimum purchase price for the purposes of the above fractions; or (c) HCP shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its REIT Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above), which evidences of indebtedness or assets relate to assets not received by HCP pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Company, then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, (i) the numerator shall be such Value of a REIT Share on the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator shall be the Value of a REIT Share on the dated fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined by HCP) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed applicable to one REIT Share. Any adjustments to the Adjustment Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

“Agreement” means this Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of HCP DR California III, LLC, as it may be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time.

The Members shall own Managing Member Units and Non-Managing Member Units, as applicable, in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A. Except as required by law or as otherwise provided in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3(B) and 4.4, no Member shall be required or permitted to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Company.
4.2    Additional Members
The Managing Member is authorized to admit one or more Additional Members to the Company from time to time, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 hereof, on terms and conditions and for such Capital Contributions as may be established by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion, subject to the provisions of Section 12.3.

The Company may incur or assume Debt (including the Existing Indebtedness), or enter into other similar credit, guarantee, financing (including, without limitation, the encumbrance of the Properties for the debt of Affiliates of Managing Member pursuant to so-called cross-collateralized loans, or otherwise) or refinancing arrangements, repay or prepay Debt, for any purpose (including, without limitation, in connection with any further acquisition of Properties from any Person), upon such terms as the Managing Member determines appropriate.
B.    In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement and in addition to the initial Capital Contribution made by the Managing Member as set forth in Exhibit A, HCP has made a loan to the Company (the “HCP Loan”) in the original principal amount of Thirty-One Million Six Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-Six and No/100ths Dollars ($31,636,786.00) (the “Initial HCP Loan Amount”), which loan is evidenced by a promissory note in the Initial HCP Loan Amount made by the Company in favor of HCP (as may be amended, renewed, supplemented, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “HCP Note”) and secured by a pledge of the membership interests in the Subsidiaries of the 

26

Company that, directly or indirectly, own the Contributed Properties pursuant to a pledge and security agreement (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Pledge and Security Agreement”).

4.4    Additional Funding and Capital Contributions
A.    General. The Managing Member may, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Company requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the operation of the Company. Additional Funds may be raised by the Company in accordance with the terms of Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof or pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.4; provided, however, that in no event shall any Non-Managing Member be required to make additional Capital Contributions. No Person, including, without limitation, any Member or Assignee, shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Membership Interest.
B.    Additional Contributions. The Managing Member on behalf of the Company may raise all or any portion of the Additional Funds by making additional Capital Contributions, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3. Subject to the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” the Managing Member shall determine in good faith the amount, terms and conditions of such additional Capital Contributions. The Managing Member shall receive that number of additional Managing Member Units in consideration for additional Capital Contributions made by the Managing Member equal to the initial Gross Asset Value of the additional Capital Contribution (net of the amount of liabilities of the Managing Member assumed by the Company or that are secured by the property contributed to the Company) (or, in the event of a contribution of cash, the amount of cash so contributed), divided by the product of (1) the Value as of the date of such Capital Contribution and (2) the Adjustment Factor. In addition to the foregoing, the Managing Member shall also be permitted to make additional Capital Contributions of cash or other property to the Company in accordance with the terms and restrictions set forth herein for any lawful purpose.

4.5    No Interest; No Return

27

Except as provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Member’s Capital Account. Except as provided herein or by law, no Member shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from the Company.
ARTICLE V     
DISTRIBUTIONS
5.1    Requirement and Characterization of Distributions
A.    Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.7 and 5.8 hereof, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute quarterly on the LLC Distribution Date all Available Cash generated by the Company during the calendar quarter most recently ended prior to the LLC Distribution Date (the “Payment Quarter”) as follows:
(1)    First, to the holders of the Non-Managing Member Units, in accordance with their relative Preferred Return Shortfalls at the end of the Payment Quarter, until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units at the end of the Payment Quarter is zero (0), provided, however, that in the event a Reduction Date occurs during any Payment Quarter, a distribution shall be made under this Section 5.1.A(1) on the LLC Distribution Date associated with such Payment Quarter to the holder or holders of the Reduction Units in an amount determined by multiplying the amount that would have been distributed on the LLC Distribution Date under this Section 5.1.A(1) in respect of the Reduction Units had they been outstanding on the last day of such Payment Quarter by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days beginning on the first (1st) day of the Payment Quarter relating to the LLC Distribution Date and ending on the Reduction Date and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Quarter in which the Reduction Date occurs.
(2)    Second, to the Managing Member until the Managing Member has received an amount equal to the excess (the “Managing Member Shortfall”), if any, of (A) the amount of cash that must be distributed to the Managing Member such that aggregate distributions of cash pursuant to Sections 5.1.A(1), 5.1.A(2), 5.6.A(1) and 5.6.B(1) shall have been made to all Members pro rata to the Members’ Percentage Interests, over (B) the sum of all prior distributions to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 5.1.A(2) and Sections 5.6.A(1) and 5.6.B(1).
(3)    Thereafter, the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, cause the Company to distribute all Available Cash remaining after the distributions provided for in Section 5.1.A(1) and Sections 5.1.A(2) above to the Members in proportion to their Sharing Percentages.
B.    The Managing Member may take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with HCP’s qualification as a REIT, to cause the Company to distribute sufficient amounts to enable HCP to pay stockholder 

28

dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (“REIT Requirements”), and (b) except to the extent the Managing Member elects, in its sole discretion, not to make such distributions, avoid any federal income or excise tax liability of the Managing Member.
5.2    Distributions in Kind
No right is given to any Member to demand and receive property other than cash. The Managing Member may determine, with the Consent of the Non-Managing Members, to make a distribution in kind to the Members of Company assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles V and VI hereof. The fair market value of any Property distributed in kind shall be determined (i) prior to the Subsequent Threshold Date, by the Managing Member with the Consent of the Non-Managing Members, and (ii) thereafter, by the Managing Member in its good faith determination.
5.3    Amounts Withheld
Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Managing Member determines that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company pursuant to Code Section 1441, Code Section 1442, Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Managing Member that such payment must be made unless (i) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Member or (ii) the Managing Member determines that such payment may be satisfied out of the Available Cash of the Company that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Member. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member. Each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a security interest in such Member’s Membership Interest to secure such Member’s obligation to pay to the Company any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 5.3. In the event that a Member fails to pay any amounts owed to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.3 when due, the Managing Member may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Company, either directly or through an Affiliate, on behalf of such defaulting Member, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Member and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Company as against such defaulting Member (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Member hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Member shall take such actions as the Company or the Managing Member shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder. 

29

5.4    Distributions Upon Liquidation
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V, net proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction and any other cash received or reductions in reserves made after commencement of the liquidation of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 13.3 hereof.
5.5    Restricted Distributions
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, shall make a distribution to any Member on account of its Membership Interest or interest in LLC Units if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law.
5.6    Distributions of Proceeds from Sale of Properties and Refinancing Debt
A.    Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.7 and 5.8 below, in the event of a taxable disposition of some, but not all, of the Properties, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to (i) reinvest (including by making loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) the Disposition Proceeds to the extent the Managing Member elects to do so and in the amount determined by the Managing Member to be appropriate (and to hold the Disposition Proceeds in an interest bearing account pending such reinvestment), in its sole discretion, and (ii) if the Managing Member elects, in its sole discretion, distribute all or any portion of the Disposition Proceeds, to the extent thereof, as follows:
(1)    First, to the holders of LLC Units in accordance with their Preferred Return Shortfalls until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units is zero (0), and then to the Managing Member to the extent of its Managing Member Shortfall;
(2)    Second, to the holders of LLC Units pro rata to their holdings of LLC Units but only to the extent that such distribution would not cause the number of LLC Units held by the Non-Managing Members to be reduced below zero (0) pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.6.C hereof; and
(3)    Third, the remaining balance of the Disposition Proceeds, if any, to the Managing Member.
B.    Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.7 and 5.10, upon the incurrence of Refinancing Debt, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to (i) reinvest (including by making loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) the Refinancing Debt Proceeds to the extent the Managing Member elects to do so and in the amount determined by the Managing Member to be appropriate (and to hold the Refinancing Debt Proceeds in an interest bearing account pending such reinvestment), in its sole discretion, and (ii) if the Managing Member elects, in its sole discretion, distribute all or any portion of the Refinancing Debt Proceeds, to the extent thereof, as follows:

30

(1)    First, to the holders of the Non-Managing Member Units in accordance with their Preferred Return Shortfalls until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units is zero (0), and then to the Managing Member to the extent of its Managing Member Shortfall; and
(2)    Second, the remaining balance of the Refinancing Debt Proceeds, if any, to the Members in proportion to their Sharing Percentages.
C.    The number of LLC Units outstanding on the date of a distribution pursuant to Section 5.6.A(2) hereof will be reduced (each such reduction, a “Reduction”) by a number of LLC Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) (the “Reduction Units”) on the date of the distribution (the “Reduction Date”) by the aggregate number of LLC Units as follows:
(1)    The Non-Managing Member Units shall be reduced by a number of LLC Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) (the “Non-Managing Member Reduction Units”) determined by dividing (i) the excess of (a) the aggregate amount of distributions made on the Reduction Date to Non-Managing Members and Assignees pursuant to Sections 5.6.A(2) and 5.6.B(2), over (b) the NMM Sharing Amount by (ii) the product obtained by multiplying (a) Value on the Reduction Date by (b) the Adjustment Factor. The Non-Managing Member Reduction Units shall be allocated (as closely as practicable in whole units) among the holders of Non-Managing Member Units in accordance with their respective holdings of Non-Managing Member Units.
(2)    The Managing Member Units shall be reduced by a number of LLC Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) equal to the product of (i) the Reduction Units with respect to the Non-Managing Members divided by the aggregate Percentage Interest of the Non-Managing Members immediately prior to the Reduction Date, times (ii) the Percentage Interest of the Managing Member immediately prior to such Reduction Date, provided that the Managing Member Units shall not be reduced to less than 1 LLC Unit.
To reflect the foregoing reduction, each Member shall return to the Managing Member the certificate evidencing the Reduction Units allocated to him or it or the Managing Member Units so reduced which will be canceled and a new certificate evidencing the reduced number of Managing Member Units or Non-Managing Member Units shall be immediately issued to such Member by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company. In the event the number of outstanding Non-Managing Member Units held by a Non-Managing Member or Assignee is reduced (pursuant to this Section 5.6.C or otherwise) to zero (0), such Non-Managing Member or Assignee shall cease to have an interest in the Company (other than the right to receive final distributions and allocations resulting from the liquidation of their interest). Exhibit D sets forth an example of a Reduction in Non-Managing Member Units and Managing Member Units pursuant to this Section 5.6.C.

31

D.    The Managing Member shall have no obligation to incur Refinancing Debt for the purpose of making distributions pursuant to this Section 5.6 or for any other purpose, except as provided in Sections 7.3.E(3) and 7.3.E(4).
5.7    Distributions Following Redemption
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Non-Managing Member shall not be entitled to any distribution pursuant to this Article V with respect to any Tendered Units if the next LLC Record Date is on or after the Specified Redemption Date for such Tendered Unit(s).
5.8    Offsets
Without in any way limiting any other right or remedy at law or otherwise, the Managing Member shall be entitled to offset against any distribution payable to a Non-Managing Member pursuant to this Article V and Article XIII hereof any amounts owing or otherwise alleged to be owing to the Company or the Managing Member by (i) such Non-Managing Member, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 7.4.E hereof or any applicable Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) by the Contributor on account of the Contributor’s Contribution Liability. Any amounts so offset pursuant to the foregoing shall be deemed for all purposes to have been distributed or paid to such Non-Managing Member as required by this Agreement. 
5.9    Special Managing Member Distribution Calculation
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining the Managing Member Shortfall distributions payable to the Managing Member pursuant to Sections 5.1.A(2), 5.6.A(1) and 5.6.B(1) as of any LLC Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.1 or as of the date of distribution of any Disposition Proceeds or Refinancing Debt Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.6, the Managing Member shall be treated as holding that number of Managing Member Units equal to the product of (x) the total number of Managing Member Units held by the Managing Member as of such date, times (y) 1.20.
5.10    Special Distribution to Initial Non-Managing Member

34

amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(1) is intended to qualify as a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(2)    Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(2) is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(3)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

It is intended that this Section 6.3.A(5) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

35

(6)    Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Member, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such Members’ Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
(7)    Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their LLC Units in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
B.    Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a Member’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), (i) excess nonrecourse liabilities shall first be allocated to the Initial Non-Managing Member up to the amount of Built-In Gain that is allocable to such Member with respect to the Contributed Properties or Successor Properties to the extent that such Built-In Gain exceeds the gain described in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(2) with respect to the Contributed Properties or Successor Properties, and (ii) any excess nonrecourse liabilities remaining after application of the preceding clause (i) shall be allocated to the Members according to each such Member’s Percentage Interest.

A.    In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each of the Company’s Tax Items 

36

shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof.
B.    Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) Revaluations.

In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Article I hereof), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset (other than Tax Items governed by the previous sentence) shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and this Section 6.4.B, pursuant to any method permitted under Regulations Section 1.704-3 as selected by the Managing Member.
6.5    Other Provisions

B.    Consistent Tax Reporting. The Members acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article VI in reporting their shares of Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local income tax purposes.
6.6    Amendments to Allocation to Reflect Issuance of Additional Membership Interests
In the event that the Company issues additional Membership Interests to the Managing Member or any Additional Member pursuant to Article IV hereof, the Managing Member shall make such revisions to this Article VI as it determines are necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional Membership Interests, including making preferential allocations to certain classes of Membership Interests, subject to Section 7.3.D.

44

Company), (y) to reclassify or change its outstanding equity interests or (z) engage in any Termination Transaction or otherwise dissolve or terminate its existence;
(2)    sell, dispose, convey or otherwise transfer any Contributed Properties or any Successor Properties, in a transaction that causes holders of Non-Managing Member Units to recognize taxable income under the Code on account of a Built-in Gain, other than (i) a casualty loss; (ii) taking by eminent domain (other than a disposition resulting from the mere threat of eminent domain); or (iii) pursuant to the exercise of a purchase right by any other Person pursuant to which such Person has the right to purchase all or any portion of the Contributed Properties or one more Successor Properties, which purchase right was granted pursuant to any document or instrument executed in accordance with the Contribution Agreement or in effect at the time such Contributed Properties or any Successor Property was contributed to, or acquired by, the Company, as applicable; provided that the Company has first used commercially reasonable efforts to structure such disposition as either a tax-free like-kind exchange under Code Section 1031 or as a tax-free investment under Code Section 1033; or 
(3)     fails to keep in place (i) the Existing Indebtedness and/or (ii) the HCP Loan for which a Principal Guarantee has been executed and delivered by each Contributor Principal as of the Effective Date, in each case, in an amount not less, in the aggregate, than the Minimum Loan Amount, unless the HCP Loan and/or the Existing Indebtedness is replaced or refinanced with other Debt satisfying the requirements set for below (“Replacement Indebtedness”). Any Replacement Indebtedness shall: 
(a)    not be less than the Minimum Loan Amount therefor; 
(b)    not require principal repayments during such period that would cause the principal balance of such Replacement Indebtedness to be less than the Minimum Loan Amount therefor at any time during the Tax Protection Period; and
(c)    provide each Contributor Principal with the opportunity to execute and deliver to the lender thereunder (including Managing Member, if applicable) a Principal Guarantee for such Replacement Indebtedness in the event the amount of such Replacement Indebtedness allocable to the Contributor Principal under Code Section 752 is less than the amount necessary to prevent the recognition of gain by such Contributor Principal under Code Section 707(a)(2)(B), 731 or 752; provided, further, that the aggregate amount of all Principal Guarantees shall not exceed the Minimum Loan Amount. 
Prior to refinancing (x) the Existing Indebtedness, (y) the HCP Loan for which a Contributor Principal has executed and delivered a Principal Guarantee as of the Effective Date or (z) any permitted Replacement Indebtedness, in each case, where the aggregate principal amount would be less than the Minimum Loan Amount, the 

45

Managing Member shall provide each Contributor Principal with not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice; or 
(4)    fails to continue to provide the opportunity to each Contributor Principal (i) who elected as of the Effective Date to execute and deliver a Principal Guarantee with respect to the HCP Loan, to execute a Principal Guarantee therefor or for any Replacement Indebtedness therefor, or (ii) with respect to any Replacement Indebtedness for the Existing Indebtedness, to execute a Principal Guarantee therefor, in each case, in an amount, in the aggregate, up to the Minimum Loan Amount. As used herein, “Principal Guarantee” means an agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E or in such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the lender and such Contributor Principal and providing substantively the same benefits to such Contributor Principal as the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.  By their execution and delivery hereof, each Contributor Principal acknowledges that it has been provided the opportunity to execute a Principal Guarantee for the HCP Loan and the Existing Indebtedness as of the Effective Date, and if such Contributor Principal has exercised such opportunity, it has executed and delivered such Principal Guarantee to HCP with respect to the HCP Loan and to the applicable lender with respect to any Existing Indebtedness, in each case as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) the Managing Member shall not be treated as failing to satisfy its obligation to provide to each Contributor Principal the opportunity for a Principal Guarantee hereunder if, after consultation with its tax advisors, the Managing Member reasonably believes that the Principal Guarantee to be executed by the Contributor Principal will not be recognized as an obligation of a partner or related person to make a payment pursuant to the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 752, including Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2(j)(3); and (ii) any Contributor Principal that fails to execute and deliver a Principal Guarantee (A) with respect to the HCP Loan as of the Effective Date, or (B) with respect to any Replacement Indebtedness for the Existing Indebtedness as of the date such Replacement Indebtedness is incurred, shall, in either case, be deemed to have elected not to exercise its opportunity to execute a Principal Guarantee with respect thereto and the Managing Member shall have no further obligation to provide such opportunity to execute and deliver a Principal Guarantee for the benefit of such Contributor Principal with respect to the HCP Loan or any Replacement Indebtedness with respect to the HCP Loan or the Existing Indebtedness.
In the event that the prior Consent of the Non-Managing Members is not required for the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, to take or engage or fail to take, as the case may be, in any of the actions described in the foregoing subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3) or fails to provide the rights in the foregoing subparagraph (4), the Managing Member may take such action only after providing the Non-Managing Members with not less than fifteen (15) days’ notice of its intention to do so. 
F.    The Company shall pay to the Non-Managing Members the Make-Whole Payment as provided in Section 7.3.G. below if the Company takes any action to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company during the Tax Protection Period. In addition, a Non-Managing Member shall be entitled to the Make-Whole Payment in the event of the 

46

exercise of such Non-Managing Member’s right to a Redemption under Section 8.6.A after receipt by such Non-Managing Member of a written notice of a Liquidating Event provided by the Company to the same extent such Non-Managing Member would have been entitled to such Make-Whole Payment had such Non-Managing Member not have been redeemed pursuant to such Redemption. In the event the Managing Member intends to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company following the Tax Protection Period, it shall give not less than fifteen (15) calendar days’ prior written notice of such intent to the Non-Managing Members prior to taking any action in furtherance of such intent.
G.    Any event in Sections 7.3.E and 7.3.F that triggers the obligation of the Company to make a Make-Whole Payment is called a “Triggering Event.” The Company shall pay to each Non-Managing Member an amount (the “Make-Whole Payment”) equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes, if any, incurred by such Non-Managing Member as a result of a Triggering Event. Any such federal, state and local income taxes shall be deemed to be the amount of Built-in Gain recognized by the Non-Managing Members multiplied by the then highest rate or rates applicable to such Built-in Gain for the year in which such Built-in Gain is recognized grossed up to include any federal, state and local income taxes incurred by the Non-Managing Member by reason of the receipt of the payment from the Company. No effect shall be given in determining the amount of the Make-Whole Payment, to a Non-Managing Member’s taxable income, tax deductions, tax credits, tax carry forwards nor to any other of their tax benefits or tax attributes (except that state and local taxes paid on account of the Make-Whole Payment shall be deducted in determining federal income taxes for purposes of determining the Make-Whole Payment). The Make-Whole Payment shall be made within a reasonable period of time after the Triggering Event, but in no event later than five (5) business days prior to the date by which such Non-Managing Member would be required to make the applicable tax payment. In addition to any other rights available under law or equity, in the event that the Company fails to pay any amounts owed pursuant to this Section 7.3 when due, the Non-Managing Member to whom such payment is owed shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to the Company. Any amounts payable to a Non-Managing Member shall be increased by an amount equal to the greater of (x) interest accrued on such amount at the Prime Rate from the date such amount is due until such amount is paid in full and (y) actual interest and penalties accrued by the relevant taxing authorities with respect to such amounts plus any penalties actually imposed thereon by the relevant taxing authorities. In the event that any Member becomes entitled to a Make-Whole Payment and the Company, for any reason, fails to satisfy such obligation, then the Managing Member shall make the Make-Whole Payment promptly following such failure by the Company to make such Make-Whole Payment. The Make-Whole Payment shall be in addition to, and shall not in any manner reduce, the amounts distributable or payable to the Non-Managing Members pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement (calculated as if there had been no Make-Whole Payment). In the event that any Non-Managing Member becomes entitled to a Make-Whole Payment, then, on or before the date on which such Make-Whole Payment is due and payable to the Non-Managing Member, the Managing Member shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company of cash in an amount equal to said Make-Whole Payment. 
H.    The parties agree that the sole and exclusive rights and remedies to which the Non-Managing Members may be entitled at law or in equity in connection with any Triggering Event shall be for payment of the Make-Whole Payment pursuant to Section 7.3.G, 

47

and no Non-Managing Member shall be entitled to enjoin or otherwise object to any transactions that would result in a taxable event or pursue any other claim with respect to a Triggering Event. If any Non-Managing Member notifies the Company of a claim that the Company owes a Make-Whole Payment, the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, and the Non-Managing Member shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding any such Triggering Event. If any such disagreement cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of the notice in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, and the Non-Managing Member shall jointly retain one of Deloitte, LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or KPMG LLP (each, an “Accounting Firm”) to act as an arbitrator to resolve as expeditiously as possible all points of any such disagreement (including, without limitation, whether a Triggering Event has occurred and, if so, the amount of the applicable Make-Whole Payment that the Non-Managing Member is entitled to as a result thereof, determined as set forth in Section 7.3.G). If the parties cannot agree on an Accounting Firm, each of the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, and the Non-Managing Member shall retain an Accounting Firm, and the Accounting Firms selected shall jointly retain a third Accounting Firm. If the two Accounting Firms cannot agree upon a third Accounting Firm within thirty (30) calendar days, such matter shall be referred to a court of competent jurisdiction to select the third Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firms shall be instructed to resolve as expeditiously as possible all points of any such disagreement (including, without limitation, whether a Triggering Event has occurred and, if so, the amount of the applicable Make-Whole Payment that the Non-Managing Member is entitled to as a result thereof, determined as set forth in Section 7.3.G). All determinations made by the Accounting Firm or the Accounting Firms, as the case may be, with respect to the resolution of whether a Triggering Event has occurred shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company and the Non-Managing Member. The fees and expenses of any Accounting Firms incurred in connection with any such determination shall be allocated as determined by such Accounting Firm acting as arbitrator.
7.4    Compensation of the Managing Member
A.    The Managing Member shall not be compensated for its services as the manager of the Company. Distributions, payments and allocations to which the Managing Member may be entitled in its capacity as the Managing Member shall not constitute compensation for services rendered by the Managing Member as provided in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI hereof).
B.    Subject to Section 7.4.C and E hereof, the Company shall be liable, and shall reimburse the Managing Member on a monthly basis (or such other basis as the Managing Member may determine in its sole and absolute discretion), for all sums expended in connection with the Company’s business. Any such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement of the Managing Member as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof.
C.    To the extent practicable, Company expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company. Reimbursements to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates by the Company shall be allowed, however, for the actual cost to the Managing 

48

Member or any of its Affiliates of operating and other expenses of the Company, including, without limitation, the actual cost of goods and materials and actual cost of administrative services related to (i) Company operations, (ii) company accounting, (iii) communications with Members, (iv) legal services, (v) tax services, (vi) computer services, (vii) risk management, (viii) mileage and travel expenses and (ix) such other related operational and administrative expenses as are necessary for the prudent organization and operation of the Company. “Actual cost of goods and materials” means the actual cost to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates of goods and materials used for or by the Company obtained from entities not affiliated with the Managing Member, and “actual cost of administrative services” means the pro rata cost of personnel (as if such persons were employees to the Company) providing administrative services to the Company. The cost for such services to be reimbursed to the Managing Member or any Affiliate thereof shall be the lesser of the Managing Member’s or Affiliate’s actual cost, or the amount the Company would be required to pay to independent parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location.
D.    In addition to any reimbursements to which Managing Member is entitled pursuant to Sections 8.6 and 11.3 hereof and Section 3.4 or elsewhere in any Registration Rights Agreement, the Managing Member shall also be reimbursed for all expenses it incurs relating to any issuance of additional Membership Interests, Debt of the Company, or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Company pursuant to Article VIII hereof (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, damages and other payments resulting from or arising in connection with litigation related to any of the foregoing), all of such expenses are considered by the Members to constitute expenses of, and for the benefit of, the Company.
E.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4, all third-party costs and expenses incurred by the Managing Member or the Company in connection with the Company’s business up to an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($100,000.00) annually, shall, prior to payment by the Company or reimbursement by the Company to the Managing Member, be allocated to the Non-Managing Members in proportion to their Non-Managing Member Units and deducted from their distributions pursuant to Article V.
To the extent that reimbursements to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.4 would constitute gross income to the Managing Member for purposes of Code Section 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3), then such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c).
7.5    Other Business of Managing Member
The Managing Member shall devote to the Company such time as may be necessary for the performance of its duties as Managing Member, but the Managing Member is not required, and is not expected, to devote its full time to the performance of such duties. The Managing Member may engage independently or with others in other business ventures of every nature and description, including, without limitation, the ownership of other properties and the making or management of other investments. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Managing Member or any Affiliate of the Managing Member from dealing, or 

49

otherwise engaging in business with, Persons transacting business with the Company, or from providing services related to the purchase, sale, financing, management, development or operation of real or personal property and receiving compensation therefor, not involving any rebate or reciprocal arrangement that would have the effect of circumventing any restriction set forth herein upon dealings with the Managing Member or any Affiliate of the Managing Member. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to such other ventures or activities or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.
7.6    Contracts with Affiliates
A.    Subject to Section 7.6.B below, the Company may lend or contribute to Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Company, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person.
B.    The Managing Member or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall be permitted to sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, or borrow funds from, or lend funds to, the Company or engage in any other transaction with the Company, but only upon terms determined by the Managing Member in good faith to be fair and reasonable and comparable to terms that could be obtained from an unaffiliated party in an arm’s length transaction, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.
C.    The Managing Member or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall be permitted to negotiate, enter into, execute or perform any of the Community Leases with respect to any Contributed Property or any Successor Property. In connection therewith, the Managing Member shall have the absolute and unconditional right to set the rental payments under any such Community Leases.
D.    Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3.E, the Managing Member shall be entitled to refinance the HCP Loan or any other Replacement Indebtedness with any Debt from the Managing Member or any Affiliate of Managing Member on such terms as the Managing Member shall determine in its discretion. 
7.7    Indemnification
A.    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Company (“Actions”) as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was 

50

material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any Action by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any Action by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment against an Indemnitee, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such Action. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering the Managing Member and any Indemnitees, and neither the Managing Member nor any Non-Managing Member shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Company or otherwise provide funds to enable the Company to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7.
B.    Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any Action shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Company of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized in Section 7.7.A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
C.    The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.
D.    The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

51

E.    In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.
F.    An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
G.    The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Company’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
H.    If and to the extent any reimbursements to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income to the Managing Member (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Code Section 707(c), shall be treated consistently therewith by the Company and all Members, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.
7.8    Liability of the Managing Member
A.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the Managing Member nor any of its directors or officers shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company, any Members or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the Managing Member or such director or officer acted in good faith.
B.    The Non-Managing Members expressly acknowledge that the Managing Member is acting for the benefit of the Company, the Members and the Managing Member’s shareholders collectively, that the Managing Member is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Members or the Managing Member’s shareholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Members, Assignees or the Managing Member’s shareholders) in deciding whether to cause the Company to take (or decline to take) any actions and that the Managing Member shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Non-Managing Members in connection with such decisions, provided that the Managing Member has acted in good faith and has not breached its express covenants set forth in this Agreement.
C.    Subject to its obligations and duties as Managing Member set forth in Section 7.1.A hereof, the Managing Member may exercise any of the powers granted to it by 

52

this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents. The Managing Member shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.
D.    Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Managing Member’s, and its officers’ and directors’, liability to the Company and the Non-Managing Members under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
7.9    Other Matters Concerning the Managing Member
A.    The Managing Member may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
B.    The Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the Managing Member reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.
C.    The Managing Member shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the Managing Member in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the Managing Member hereunder. 
D.    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or any decision of the Managing Member to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of HCP to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) for HCP otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements or (iii) to allow HCP to avoid incurring any liability for taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Non-Managing Members. If in the opinion of the Managing Member any such action or omission shall adversely affect the rights of a Non-Managing Member hereunder, the Managing Member shall give the Non-Managing Member Representative prior written notice of such intended action or omission.

53

7.10    Title to Company Assets
Title to Company assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member, individually or collectively with other Members or Persons, shall have any ownership interest in such Company assets or any portion thereof. All Company assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Company assets is held.
7.11    Reliance by Third Parties
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Company shall be entitled to assume that the Managing Member has full power and authority, without the consent or approval of any other Member or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Company and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Company, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Company, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the Managing Member as if it were the Company’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Non-Managing Member hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Managing Member in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Managing Member or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of the Managing Member or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company by the Managing Member or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Company and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, the Managing Member may keep confidential from the Non-Managing Members, for such period of time as the Managing Member determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the Managing Member believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the Managing Member in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Company or could damage the Company or its business or (ii) the Company or the Managing Member is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.
8.6    Redemption Rights
A.    Commencing on the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Date, each Non-Managing Member shall have the right (the “Redemption Right”) (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Non-Managing Member Units held by such Non-Managing Member (all such Non-Managing Member Units being hereafter called “Tendered Unit”) for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date (the “Redemption”); provided, however, that at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, the Managing Member may elect to assume the Company’s obligation with respect to the Redemption (though such assumption shall not relieve the Company from such obligation in the event the Managing Member fails to fulfill such obligation) and, at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, to satisfy the Redemption by (i) paying either the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date or (ii) delivering a number of REIT Shares equal to the REIT Shares Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date.

56

B.    Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Company by a Non-Managing Member (or any Substituted Member of a Non-Managing Member or an Assignee of either) exercising the Redemption Right (the “Tendering Party”). On the Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Party shall sell the Tendered Units to the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 8.6. Any Tendered Units acquired by the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be held by the Managing Member as Non-Managing Member Units with all the rights and preferences relating thereto as provided in this Agreement. The Tendering Party shall submit (i) such information, certification or affidavit as the Company may reasonably require in connection with the Ownership Limit and (ii) if the issuance of the REIT Shares upon such Redemption is not registered under the Securities Act, such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary, in the Company’s view, to effect compliance with the Securities Act. If a Cash Amount is to be delivered upon the Redemption, the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the Company’s or Managing Member’s sole discretion, as the case may be, in immediately available funds via wire transfer to an account or account(s) specified by the Tendering Party. If REIT Shares are to be delivered upon the Redemption, the REIT Shares Amount shall be delivered by the Managing Member or HCP as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable REIT Shares (and, if applicable, Rights), free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the Ownership Limit, and other restrictions provided in the Charter or the Bylaws of HCP, and if the issuance of the REIT Shares upon such Redemption is not registered under the Securities Act, and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Tendering Party shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares and Rights for all purposes, including, without limitation, rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. REIT Shares issued upon an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Managing Member or HCP pursuant to this Section 8.6 may contain such legends regarding restrictions on Transfer or ownership to protect HCP’s tax status as a REIT and in the event the REIT Shares issuable upon such Redemption are not registered for resale under the Securities Act, restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as HCP in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws.
C.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.6.A and B hereof, the following shall apply:
(1)    No Tendering Party shall have any right to tender for Redemption (whether for the REIT Shares Amount or the Cash Amount) any Excess LLC Units held by such Tendering Party. Neither the Managing Member nor HCP shall have any obligation to acquire Excess LLC Units, whether for the REIT Shares Amount or the Cash Amount;
(2)    No Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights pursuant to Section 8.6.A and B hereof more than one (1) time during any Calendar Quarter. In determining whether such limit has been reached during any Calendar Quarter with respect to any Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member, it is understood and agreed that the exercise of the Redemption Rights by any Assignee of such Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member of a Non-Managing Member shall 

57

be counted for all purposes as the exercise of such Redemption Rights by the Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member assignor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights after the receipt of a notice of a Liquidating Event;
(3)    No Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights pursuant to Sections 8.6.A and B as to fewer than five thousand five hundred (5,500) Non-Managing Member Units (unless they constitute all of the Non-Managing Member Units held by such Tendering Party);
(4)    No Tendering Party may deliver a Notice of Redemption during the period from December 1 of any year through January 1 of the following year, nor shall any Specified Redemption Date occur during the period from December 21 of any year through January 22 of the following year; and
(5)    Each Tendering Party shall pay to the Managing Member the sum of One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100ths Dollars ($1,500.00) as the stipulated and agreed upon reimbursement cost for the Managing Member’s administrative overhead and out-of-pocket costs in connection with such Redemption pursuant to Sections 8.6.A and B; provided, however, that no such reimbursement shall be due with respect to the first such Redemption by any Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member in any calendar year; provided, further, however, that the exercise by any Assignee of a Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member shall be deemed a Redemption by such Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member of such Assignee (and vice versa) for purposes of determining whether such reimbursement is due and owing to the Managing Member.
D.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Redemption pursuant to this Section 8.6:
(1)    Each Tendering Party shall continue to own all LLC Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Member with respect to such LLC Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such LLC Units are Transferred to the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, and paid for or exchanged on the Specified Redemption Date; subject, however, to the provisions of Section 5.7. Until a Specified Redemption Date and an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Managing Member, if it so elects, pursuant to Sections 8.6.A and B hereof, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a shareholder of HCP with respect to the REIT Shares issuable in connection with such Redemption; and
(2)    The consummation of any Redemption shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
E.    In connection with an exercise of Redemption Rights pursuant to this Section 8.6, the Tendering Party shall submit the following to the Managing Member, in addition to the Notice of Redemption:

58

(1)    Any information reasonably required by the Managing Member or HCP in order to allow it to determine (a) the actual ownership, Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership of REIT Shares by (i) such Tendering Party and (ii) any Related Party and (b) that, after giving effect to the Redemption, neither the Tendering Party nor any Related Party will have actual ownership, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of a number of REIT Shares that is in violation of the Ownership Limit;
(2)    A written representation that neither the Tendering Party nor any Related Party has any intention to acquire any additional REIT Shares prior to the closing of the Redemption on the Specified Redemption Date; and
(3)    An undertaking to certify, at and as a condition to the closing of the Redemption that either (a) the actual ownership, Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership of REIT Shares by the Tendering Party and any Related Party remain unchanged from that disclosed pursuant to Section 8.6.E(1) or (b) after giving effect to the Redemption, neither the Tendering Party nor any Related Party shall have actual ownership, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of a number of REIT Shares that is in violation of the Ownership Limit.

9.1    Records and Accounting
A.    The Managing Member shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Company those records and documents required to be maintained by the Act and other books and records deemed by the Managing Member to be appropriate with respect to the Company’s business, including, without limitation, all books and records necessary to provide to the Members any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof. Any records maintained by or on behalf of the Company in the regular course of its business may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards, magnetic tape, photographs, micrographics or any other information storage device, provided that the records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of time.
B.    The books of the Company shall be maintained, for financial and tax reporting purposes, on an accrual basis, and for financial purposes in accordance with GAAP, or on such other basis as the Managing Member determines to be necessary or appropriate.

9.4    Cooperation Regarding Tax Matters Relating to the Contributed Properties
A.    In connection with the issuance of Non-Managing Member Units to the Contributor, including the issuance of Non-Managing Member Units to the Initial Non-Managing Member upon the contribution of the Contributed Properties to the Company pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Non-Managing Member Representative shall deliver, or cause the Contributor to deliver, to the Company at or prior to the effective date of such issuance, at the Initial Non-Managing Member’s or the Contributor’s sole cost and expense, the following information prepared as of the date of such anticipated contribution:
(1)    depreciation and amortization schedules for the assets constituting the Contributed Properties, as kept for both book and tax purposes, showing original basis and accumulated depreciation or amortization;
(2)    basis information (computed for both book and tax purposes, if different) for the Contributed Properties and all assets that are components of such Contributed Properties;
(3)    the adjusted basis of the Contributor in its interest in the Company; and
(4)    calculations of the estimated amounts of gain to be realized and recognized (if any) by the Contributor, as a result of the transactions involving the Contributed Properties in accordance with this Agreement and showing the method by which such amounts are calculated.
B.    The Company shall be permitted to rely on the information provided or to be provided to it under this Section 9.4 as to the adjusted tax basis of the Contributed Properties and the relevant depreciation schedules thereto in determining the amount of Built-in Gain on a going forward basis.
C.    The Non-Managing Member Representative shall provide or cause the Contributor to provide reasonable assistance to the Company to enable the Company and the Managing Member to determine the Built-in Gain or to prepare their tax returns. The Non-Managing Member Representative shall deliver as promptly as practicable to the Company copies of each Contributor’s final federal, state and local tax returns (including information returns), including associated Schedules K-1, for the tax year in which the contribution of the Contributed Properties occurs, including any amendments thereto, and to notify the Company, in writing, of any audits of such return, or of any audits for other tax years that could affect the amounts shown on the returns for the tax year in which the Effective Date hereof occurs. Copies of such returns shall be provided to the Company in draft form at least ten (10) days before they are filed, and in final form upon filing. The Non-Managing Member Representative shall also provide, or cause the Contributor to provide, to the Company, promptly upon receipt, 

60

any notice that it receives from any of its direct or indirect constituent partners or members that such partner or member intends to prepare its tax returns in a manner inconsistent with the returns filed by the Contributor. The Non-Managing Member Representative understands and agrees that he shall cause the tax returns filed by the Contributor to be substantially consistent with the information provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 9.4. 
ARTICLE X 
TAX MATTERS
10.1    Preparation of Tax Returns
The Managing Member shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Company income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Company for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, within one hundred twenty (120) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by Members for federal and state income tax reporting purposes.
10.2    Tax Elections
Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to Section 10.3, the Managing Member shall (i) determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code, including, without limitation, the election under Code Section 754 and (ii) also determine whether to revoke any such election (including, without limitation, any election under Code Section 754); provided, however, that any such determination by the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 10.2 made prior to the Subsequent Threshold Date shall be made in good faith based upon the best interests of the Members in the aggregate and after the Subsequent Threshold Date in the Managing Member’s sole and absolute discretion.
10.3    Partnership Representative
A.    The Managing Member is hereby designated to serve as the “partnership representative” with respect to the Company, as provided in Section 6223(a) of the Partnership Audit Rules (the “Partnership Representative”). For each taxable year in which the Partnership Representative is an entity, the Company shall appoint the “designated individual” identified by the Partnership Representative to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative (the “Designated Individual”) in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations. Each Member expressly consents to such designations and agrees that it will execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent.
B.    The Partnership Representative shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Company in connection with and make all relevant decisions regarding application of the Partnership Audit Rules, including, but not limited to, any elections under the Partnership Audit Rules or any decisions to settle, compromise, challenge, litigate or otherwise alter the defense of any proceeding before the IRS. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, for so long as the Initial Non-Managing Member holds more than a ten percent (10%) Percentage Interest in the Company, the Partnership Representative shall, prior to 

61

making a final decision as to whether to cause the Company to make a Pass-Through Election or to pay an Imputed Underpayment Amount, confer with the Initial Non-Managing Member and consider in good faith any reasonable objections that the Initial Non-Managing Member may have to the Company’s payment of an Imputed Underpayment Amount  in lieu of making a Pass-Through Election (for example, any difficulties that the Initial Non-Managing Member may have as a practical matter in collecting its share of any Imputed Underpayment Amount  under Section 10.3.E and Section 10.3F from Persons who may have been “partners” in the Initial Non-Managing Member for federal income tax purposes in  the “reviewed year” within the meaning of Section 6225(d)(1) of the Partnership Audit Rules but not the later year in which the Company would pay any such Imputed Underpayment Amount).
C.    The Partnership Representative shall: 
(1)    provide the Company and all Members with copies of any material notices received by the Partnership Representative, and any material written communications by the Partnership Representative to the IRS or other examining authority, in connection with any proceeding or potential adjustment relating to the Company that is subject to the Partnership Audit Rules (including, without limitation, with respect to any appeal of or petition from any such proceeding or potential adjustment); and
(2)    otherwise, for so long as the Initial Non-Managing Member holds more than a ten percent (10%) Percentage Interest in the Company, keep the Initial Non-Managing Member reasonably informed of the progress and status of any proceeding or potential adjustment relating to the Company that is subject to the Partnership Audit Rules (including, without limitation, with respect to any appeal of or petition from any such proceeding or potential adjustment), and respond to (or make the Partnership Representative’s counsel and advisors available to respond to) the Initial Non-Managing Member’s reasonable inquiries regarding the same.
D.    The Members agree to cooperate in good faith to timely provide information requested by the Partnership Representative as needed to comply with the Partnership Audit Rules, including without limitation to make any elections available to the Company under the Partnership Audit Rules. Each Member agrees that, upon request of the Company, such Member shall take such actions as may be necessary or desirable (as determined by the Partnership Representative) to (i) allow the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 6226 of the Partnership Audit Rules so that any “partnership adjustments” (as defined in Section 6241 (2) of the Partnership Audit Rules) are taken into account by the Members and former Members rather than the Company; (ii) use the provisions of Section 6225(c) of the Partnership Audit Rules including, but not limited to, filing amended tax returns with respect to any “reviewed year” (within the meaning of Section 6225(d)(1) of the Partnership Audit Rules) or using the alternative procedure to filing amended returns to reduce the amount of any partnership adjustment otherwise required to be taken into account by the Company; or (iii) otherwise allow the Company and its Members to address and respond to any matters arising under the Partnership Audit Rules.

62

E.    If any partnership adjustment is determined with respect to the Company, the Partnership Representative may cause the Company to elect pursuant to Section 6226 of the Partnership Audit Rules to have such adjustment passed through to the Members for the year to which the adjustment relates (i.e., the “reviewed year” within the meaning of Section 6225(d)(1) of the Partnership Audit Rules) (a “Pass-Through Election”). In the event that the Partnership Representative has not caused the Company to make a Pass-Through Election, then any “imputed underpayment” (as determined in accordance with Section 6225 of the Partnership Audit Rules) or partnership adjustment that does not give rise to an imputed underpayment shall be apportioned among the Members of the Company for the taxable year in which the adjustment is finalized in such manner as may be necessary (as determined by the Partnership Representative in good faith) so that, to the maximum extent possible, the tax and economic consequences of the imputed underpayment or other partnership adjustment and any associated interest and penalties (any such amount, an “Imputed Underpayment Amount”) are borne by the Members based upon their interests in the Company for the reviewed year. Imputed Underpayment Amounts also shall include any imputed underpayment within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Partnership Audit Rules paid (or payable) by any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which the Company holds (or has held) a direct or indirect interest other than through entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent that the Company bears the economic burden of such amounts, whether by law or contract.
F.    Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any liability with respect to such Member’s share of any tax deficiency paid or payable by the Company that is allocable to the Member as determined in accordance with the second (2nd) to last sentence of Section 10.3.E above with respect to an audited or reviewed taxable year for which such Member was a member of the Company. The obligations set forth in this paragraph shall survive the termination of any Member’s interest in the Company, the termination of the Agreement and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, and shall remain binding on each Member for the period of time necessary to resolve with the IRS (or any other applicable taxing authority) all income tax matters relating to the Company and for Members to satisfy their indemnification obligations, if any, pursuant to this Section 10.3. Any obligation of a Member pursuant to this paragraph shall be implemented through adjustments to any distributions otherwise payable to such Member under the Agreement; provided however, that, at the written request of the Partnership Representative, each Member or former Member may be required to contribute to the Company such Member’s Imputed Underpayment Amount imposed on and paid by the Company; provided, further, that if a Member or former Member individually directly pays, pursuant to the Partnership Audit Rules, any such Imputed Underpayment Amount, then such payment shall reduce any offset to distribution or required capital contribution of such Member or former Member. Any amount withheld from distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as an amount distributed to such Member or former Member for all purposes under this Agreement.  To the extent that the provisions of this Section 10.3.F contradict with the provisions of Sections 5.3 or 5.8, the provisions of this Section 10.3.F shall govern.
G.    All expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual in connection with its duties as partnership representative or designated individual, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable professional fees not to 

63

exceed Ten Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate incurred in conferring with the Initial Non-Managing Member under the last sentence of Section 10.3.B or responding to inquiries of the Initial Non-Managing Member under Section 10.3.C(2)), shall be expenses of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any claims asserted against the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable, except to the extent the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual is determined to have performed its duties in the manner described in the final sentence of this paragraph), and the Company shall reimburse and indemnify the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable, for all such expenses and costs. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual from engaging lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, or other professional advisers or experts to assist the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual in discharging its duties hereunder. Neither the Partnership Representative nor Designated Individual shall be liable to the Company, any Member or any affiliate thereof for any costs or losses to any persons, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of the performance of its duties pursuant to this Section 10.3 absent (i) willful breach of any provision of this Section 10.3 or (ii) bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable.
10.4    Organizational Expenses
The Company shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Company ratably as provided in Code Section 709.
10.5    Tax Partnership Treatment
The Members intend that the Company be treated as a partnership, and not as an association taxable as a corporation, for federal and all applicable state income tax purposes.
ARTICLE XI
TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS
11.1    Transfer
A.    No part of the interest of a Member shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, to any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement.
B.    No Membership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article XI. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of a Membership Interest not made in accordance with this Article XI shall be null and void ab initio.
11.2    Transfer of Managing Member’s Membership Interest
A.    Except in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2.B, the Managing Member shall not withdraw from the Company and shall not Transfer all 

64

or any portion of its interest in the Company without the Consent of the Non-Managing Members, which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the Managing Member may Transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Company without such Consent to any Affiliate of the Managing Member, provided that HCP remains obligated under the HCP Guarantee or otherwise becomes the Managing Member hereunder (the “Managing Member Guarantee”). Upon any Transfer of the Membership Interest of the Managing Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2, the transferee shall become a substitute Managing Member for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor Managing Member, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the Managing Member, once such transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Membership Interest so acquired. It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor Managing Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Membership Interest, and such Transfer shall relieve the transferor Managing Member of its obligations under this Agreement accruing subsequent to the date of such Transfer except for the Managing Member Guarantee. In the event the Managing Member withdraws from the Company, in violation of this Agreement or otherwise, or otherwise dissolves or terminates, or upon the Incapacity of the Managing Member, all of the remaining Members may elect to continue the Company business by selecting a substitute Managing Member in accordance with the Act.
B.    The Managing Member shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another Person, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any reclassification, or change of its outstanding equity interests through a restructuring, recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (a “Termination Transaction”), unless either (i) the Termination Transaction has been approved by the Consent of the Non-Managing Members or (ii) in connection with the Termination Transaction, all holders of LLC Units (other than the Managing Member) either will receive, or will be entitled to receive, for each LLC Unit (in lieu of the REIT Shares Amount) upon a Redemption of the LLC Unit pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof, an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the amount that would have been paid to the holder had the LLC Unit been redeemed for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof immediately prior to the consummation of the Termination Transaction subject, in the event of a Redemption of the LLC Unit pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof subsequent to the consummation of the Termination Transaction, to further adjustment to the extent provided in this Agreement to compensate for the dilutive effect of certain transactions described herein; provided, however, that, if, in connection with the Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding REIT Shares, each Member shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which such Member would have received had it redeemed its LLC Units for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6 immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer. No provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7.3.B hereof, shall prohibit the consummation of any Termination Transaction permitted by the provisions of this Section 11.2.B.

65

11.3    Non-Managing Members’ Rights to Transfer
A.    General. No Non-Managing Member shall Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest, or any of such Non-Managing Member’s economic rights as a Non-Managing Member, to any transferee without first offering such Membership Interest to the Managing Member or otherwise obtaining the Consent of the Managing Member, which Consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement, any Non-Managing Member may, without the Consent of the Managing Member, (x) pledge all or any portion of its Membership Interest to a lender to such Member to secure indebtedness to such lender and Transfer such Membership Interest to such lender upon foreclosure of the debt secured by such Membership Interest, so long as any such pledge or other Transfer would not otherwise violate the provisions of this Agreement or (y) transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest or economic rights as a Non-Managing Member to a partner or member of such Non-Managing Member in as a distribution or in liquidation of such partner’s or member’s interest in such Non-Managing Member, to a family member of such Non-Managing Member, a trust all of the beneficiaries of which are such Non-Managing Member and family members of such Non-Managing Member, a corporation, general or limited partnership or limited liability company all of the owners of which are such Non-Managing Member and family members of such Non-Managing Member or to an organization described in Code Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) or 501(c)(3), so long as any such Transfer would not otherwise violate the provisions of this Agreement (herein, a “Permitted Non-Managing Member Assignment”), and in connection with any Permitted Non-Managing Member Assignment, such Non-Managing Member shall reimburse to the Managing Member all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with such Permitted Non-Managing Member Assignment, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs and any other expenses incurred by the Managing Member, including the costs of filing any amendment or prospectus supplement to any registration statement or prospectus as necessary to reflect such Transfer. In addition, it is understood and agreed that the transferee pursuant to any Permitted Non-Managing Member Assignment shall only become an Assignee and not a Substituted Member, unless otherwise Consented to by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion.
B.    Conditions to Transfer. It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assume by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Membership Interest, and that the Managing Member be reimbursed for all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Managing Member in connection with such Transfer, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs and any other expenses incurred by Managing Member, including the costs of filing any amendment or prospectus supplement to any registration statement or prospectus as necessary to reflect such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Membership Interest shall be subject to the Ownership Limits and any and all ownership limitations contained in the Charter. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Member, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Member, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.

66

C.    Incapacity. If a Non-Managing Member is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Non-Managing Member’s estate shall have all the rights of a Non-Managing Member, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Non-Managing Members, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Non-Managing Member possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Company. The Incapacity of a Non-Managing Member, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Company.
D.    Opinion of Counsel. In connection with any Transfer of a Membership Interest other than a Redemption, the Managing Member shall have the right to receive an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Membership Interests Transferred. If, in the opinion of such counsel, such Transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the LLC Units, the Managing Member may prohibit any Transfer by a Member of Membership Interests otherwise permitted under this Section 11.3.
E.    Transfers to Lenders. No Transfer of any LLC Units may be made to a lender to the Company or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Company whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the Consent of the Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that, as a condition to such Consent, the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Company and the Managing Member to redeem or exchange for the REIT Shares Amount any LLC Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a member in the Company for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Code Section 752.
11.4    Substituted Members
A.    No Member shall have the right to substitute a transferee (including any transferees pursuant to Transfers permitted by Section 11.3 hereof) as a Member in its place. The Managing Member shall, however, have the right to Consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Member pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Member, which Consent may be given or withheld by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion. The Managing Member’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Member shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Company or any Member.
B.    A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with this Article XI shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Member shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the Company an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.4 and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission) from and after the effective date of such Transfer.

67

C.    Upon the admission of a Substituted Member, the Managing Member shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, Capital Account and number of LLC Units of such Substituted Member and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address, Capital Account and number of LLC Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Member (and any other Member, as necessary); provided that, in lieu of amending or restating Exhibit A hereto, the Managing Member may elect to reflect such matters in the books and records of the Company and not Exhibit A;

If the Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not Consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 hereof as a Substituted Member, as described in Section 11.4 hereof, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited liability company interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Company and the share of Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company attributable to the LLC Units assigned to such transferee, the rights to Transfer the LLC Units provided in this Article XI, and the right of Redemption provided in Section 8.6, but shall not be deemed to be a Member of LLC Units for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent or vote with respect to such LLC Units on any matter presented to the Members for approval (such right to Consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor Member). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such LLC Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article XI to the same extent and in the same manner as any Members desiring to make an assignment of LLC Units. The Managing Member shall have no liability under any circumstance with respect to any Assignee as to which it does not have notice.
11.6    General Provisions
A.    No Non-Managing Member may withdraw from the Company other than (i) as a result of a permitted Transfer of all of such Non-Managing Member’s LLC Units in accordance with this Article XI and the transferee(s) of such LLC Units being admitting to the Company as a Substituted Member or (ii) pursuant to a Redemption by the Non-Managing Member of all of its LLC Units under Section 8.6 hereof.
B.    Any Non-Managing Member who shall Transfer all of its LLC Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article XI where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Member; (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its rights to effect a Redemption of all of its LLC Units under Section 8.6 hereof; (iii) pursuant to a Reduction; or (iv) pursuant to a combination of Transfers of the types specified in the foregoing (i) - (iii), shall cease to be a Member.
C.    Transfers pursuant to this Article XI (but not pursuant to a Redemption) may only be made on the first (1st) day of a Calendar Quarter of the Company, unless the Managing Member otherwise agrees.

68

D.    All distributions of Available Cash attributable to an LLC Unit with respect to which the LLC Record Date is before the date of a Transfer or a Redemption of the LLC Unit shall be made to the transferor Member and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter attributable to such LLC Unit shall be made to the transferee Member.
E.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of a Membership Interest by any Member (including any redemption or any Redemption or any other acquisition of LLC Units by the Company) be made:
(1)    to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Membership Interest;
(2)    in violation of applicable law;
(3)    without the Consent of the Managing Member, if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company or the Managing Member, cause an increased tax liability to any other Member or Assignee as a result of the termination of the Company, in either case for federal or state income or franchise tax purposes (except in the case of a Terminating Capital Transaction or as a result of the Redemption of all LLC Units pursuant to Section 8.6);
(4)    without the Consent of the Managing Member, if such Transfer could, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member, (i) result in the Company being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax or for state income or franchise tax purposes, (ii) adversely affect the ability of the Managing Member to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the Managing Member to any additional taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981 or (iii) be treated as having been effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704, or such Transfer fails to satisfy a “safe-harbor” preventing such treatment (as set forth in Treasury Regulations under Code Section 7704 or any successor provision);
(5)    if such Transfer could cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Code Section 4975(c));
(6)    if such Transfer could, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101;
(7)    if such Transfer could cause the Company (as opposed to the Managing Member) to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act;

69

(8)     if such Transfer could subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended; or
(9)    without the Consent of the Managing Member, which may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such Transfer could result in the Company having more than one hundred (100) Members (including as Members those persons indirectly owning an interest in the Company through a partnership, limited liability company, S corporation or grantor trust (such entity, a “flow through entity”), but only if substantially all of the value of such person’s interest in the flow through entity is attributable to the flow through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Company) (the “One Hundred Member Limit”).
F.    No Non-Managing Member will take or allow any Affiliate to take any action that would cause a violation of the One Hundred Member Limit.

A successor to all of the Managing Member’s Membership Interest pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a successor Managing Member shall be admitted to the Company as the Managing Member, effective immediately upon such Transfer.

A.    A Person (other than an existing Member) who makes a Capital Contribution to the Company in accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Company as an Additional Member, only upon furnishing to the Managing Member (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Member, of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof, and (ii) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Member.

70

B.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Member without the Consent of the Non-Managing Members and the Consent of the Managing Member, which Consent may be given or withheld by each Member in its sole and absolute discretion. The admission of any Person as an Additional Member shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Company, following the Consent of the Managing Member and the Consent of the Non-Managing Members to such admission.
C.    If any Additional Member is admitted to the Company on any day other than the first (1st) day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among Members and Assignees for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among such Additional Member and all other Members and Assignees by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method selected by the Managing Member. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Member occurs shall be allocated among all the Members and Assignees including such Additional Member, in accordance with the principles described in Section 11.6.C hereof. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the LLC Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Members and Assignees other than the Additional Member, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all the Members and Assignees including such Additional Member.
12.4    Amendment of Agreement and Certificate
For the admission to the Company of any Member, the Managing Member shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Company and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement (including an amendment of Exhibit A) and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.
12.5    Limitation on Admission of Members
No Person shall be admitted to the Company as a Substituted Member or an Additional Member if, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, it would result in the Company being treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or otherwise cause the Company to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.
ARTICLE XIII     
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION
13.1    Dissolution
The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Members or Additional Members or by the admission of a successor Managing Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the Managing Member, any successor Managing Member shall continue the business of the Company without dissolution. However, 

71

the Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”):
A.    an event of withdrawal of the Managing Member, as defined in the Act (other than an event of bankruptcy), unless, within ninety (90) days after the withdrawal, a Majority of Remaining Members agree in writing to continue the business of the Company and to the appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal, of a substitute Managing Member;
B.    subject to the provisions of Sections 7.3.E and 7.3.H hereof, an election to dissolve the Company made by the Managing Member;
C.    entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Act;
D.    subject to the provisions of Sections 7.3.E and 7.3.H hereof, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company;
E.    subject to the provisions of Sections 7.3.E and 7.3.H hereof, a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling that the Managing Member is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the Managing Member, in each case under any Bankruptcy Law as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to or within ninety (90) days after the entry of such order or judgment a Majority of Remaining Members Consent in writing to continue the business of the Company and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute Managing Member;
F.    the Incapacity of the Managing Member, unless prior to or within ninety (90) days after such Incapacity a Majority of Remaining Members agree in writing to continue the business of the Company and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such Incapacity, of a substitute Managing Member; or
G.    the Redemption of all LLC Units (other than those held by the Managing Member).
13.2    Redemption of Non-Managing Member Units
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on or after such time as (x) the Managing Member has the right to dissolve the Company, (y) at any time after the expiration of the Tax Protection Period, or (z) or at any time with respect to Members that are an organization described in Code Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) or 501(c)(3), the Managing Member may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require each Non-Managing Member (by delivering a Call Notice to such Non-Managing Member) to tender all of its Non-Managing Member Units to the Managing Member in exchange for, at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, either (i) an amount of cash equal to the sum of (a) the Cash Amount and (b) the NMM Sharing Amount, calculated as if all of the Contributed Properties then owned by the Company were sold in a taxable transaction at their fair market values, or (ii) a number of REIT Shares equal to the sum of (a) the REIT Shares Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date and otherwise in accordance with the procedures 

72

and provisions set forth in Sections 8.6.A and B, and (b) a number of REIT Shares with a value equal to the amount set forth in Section 13.2(i)(b).
13.3    Winding Up
A.    Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Members. After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, no Member shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company’s business and affairs. The Managing Member (or, in the event that there is no remaining Managing Member, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members (the Managing Member or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company and shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and property, and the Company property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the Managing Member, include shares of stock in the Managing Member) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:
(1)    First, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Members and their Assignees (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);
(2)    Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to the Members, including, but not limited to, any loan made to the Company by a Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the HCP Loan) (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); and
(3)    The balance, if any, to the Members and any Assignees in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.
The Managing Member shall not receive any compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XIII.
B.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.3.A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (including to those Members as creditors) and/or distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3.A hereof, undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Members, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the 

73

Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.
C.    In the event that the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article XIII to the Members and Assignees that have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) to the extent of, and in proportion to, their positive Capital Account balances. If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. A pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this Article XIII may be withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Members in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.3.A hereof as soon as practicable.
13.4    Deemed Contribution and Distribution
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII, in the event that the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Company’s Property shall not be liquidated, the Company’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed its assets and liabilities to a new limited liability company in exchange for an interest in such new limited liability company and, immediately thereafter, the Company will be deemed to liquidate by distributing interests in the new limited liability company to the Members.
13.5    Rights of Members
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Member shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Company and (c) except as provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.
13.6    Notice of Dissolution
In the event that a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for an election or objection by one or more Members pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, result in a dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Members and, in the Managing Member’s sole and absolute discretion or as required by the Act, to all other parties with whom the Company regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing 

74

Member), and the Managing Member may, or, if required by the Act, shall, publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Company regularly conduct business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member).
13.7    Cancellation of Certificate
Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Company’s cash and property as provided in Section 13.3 hereof, the Company shall be terminated and the Certificate and all qualifications of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company shall be taken.
13.8    Reasonable Time for Winding-Up
A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between the Members during the period of liquidation.
13.9    Liability of Liquidator
The Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs, damages, and causes of action of any nature whatsoever arising out of or incidental to the Liquidator’s taking of any action authorized under or within the scope of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Liquidator shall not be entitled to indemnification, and shall not be held harmless, where the claim, demand, liability, cost, damage or cause of action at issue arises out of (i) a matter entirely unrelated to the Liquidator’s action or conduct pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) the proven willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Liquidator.
ARTICLE XIV 
PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS 
OF MEMBERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS
14.1    Procedures for Actions and Consents of Members
The actions requiring Consent or approval of Non-Managing Members pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 7.3 hereof, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article XIV and shall require the Consent of the Non-Managing Members unless a different standard or percentage is expressly required by this Agreement for the action in question.
14.2    Amendments
Except for amendments to Exhibit A as provided in Sections 7.3.C, 11.4.C and 12.4 hereof, amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the Managing Member or by a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members. Following such proposal, the Managing Member shall submit any proposed amendment to the Members. The Managing Member shall 

75

seek the written Consent of the Members on the proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that the Managing Member may deem appropriate. The affirmative vote or Consent, as applicable, of a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members and the Managing Member is required for the approval of a proposed amendment. 
14.3    Meetings of the Members
A.    Meetings of the Members may be called by the Managing Member and shall be called upon the receipt by the Managing Member of a written request by a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members. The call shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members not less than seven (7) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such meeting. The meeting shall be held at the headquarters office of the Managing Member or at such other location as may be designated by the Managing Member. Members may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Whenever the vote or Consent of Members is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote or Consent may be given at a meeting of Members or may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.3.B hereof.
B.    Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a prior written notice thereof is sent to each Member in accordance with Section 15.1 and Consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by Members holding a majority of the LLC Units (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement for the action in question). Such Consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of Members holding a majority of the LLC Units (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement). Such Consent shall be filed with the Managing Member. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a written Consent, the Managing Member may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the Managing Member’s recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided, however, that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior to such specified time.
C.    Each Member may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the Member or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Company’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Member executing such proxy.
D.    Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by the Managing Member or such other Person as the Managing Member may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the Managing Member or such other Person deems appropriate in 

76

its reasonable discretion. Without limitation, meetings of Members may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the Managing Member’s shareholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of the Managing Member’s shareholders.

15.13    Non-Managing Member Representative
A.    All actions taken by the Non-Managing Member Representative pursuant to those provisions of this Agreement which authorize the Non-Managing Member Representative to so act shall be binding upon all Non-Managing Members as if they had individually taken such action and each Non-Managing Member, by entering into or agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, authorize the Non-Managing Member Representative to take such actions on his, her or its behalf and agree that the actions so taken shall be binding upon him, her or it to the same extent as if he, she or it had taken the action directly.

	Sale of property to which distribution pursuant to Sec. 5.6.A(2) relates: 
Disposition Proceeds = $30MM 
Initial value = $25MM 
Property Appreciation = $5MM 
Portion of Disposition Proceeds to be distributed = $10MM

		
	3.
	Other assumptions: 
Value of REIT stock on Reduction Date = $30 
There is no Preferred Return Shortfall or Managing Member Shortfall 
Unit Portion (Net Cash Flow of property sold/Net Cash Flow of all Contributed Properties) = .20  
There have been no previous distributions of Disposition Proceeds or Refinancing Debt Proceeds  
Adjustment Factor = 1.0

Calculation of Reduction:
Sec. 5.6.C(1) — NMMU Reduction = 82,733 Units ($2,482,000 ÷ 30), computed as  
(i) excess of
		
	(a)
	$2.5MM ($10MM distribution * 25% NMM LLC units), over

		
	(b)
	NMM Sharing Amount of $18,000

(U)    (.20 Unit Portion * 3.2MM LLC Units Outstanding) = 640,000 = Unit Amount
(V)    640,000 * ($30 Value - $25 Effective Price) = $3.2MM Unit Appreciation

D-1

(W)    $5MM Property Appreciation - $3.2MM Unit Appreciation = $1.8MM = Aggregate Sharing Amount
(X)    $1.8MM Aggregate Sharing Amount - $0 Prior Sharing Amounts = $1.8MM Sharing Amount
(Y)    $1.8MM * 1% NMM Sharing Percentage = $18,000 NMM Sharing Amount
(Z)    $2.5MM — $18,000 = $2,482,000 
Divided by

(ii) $30 Value on Reduction Date
Sec. 5.6.C(2) — MMU Reduction = 248,199 Units, computed as 
(i)    82,733 Reduction Units for NMMs divided by 25% Aggregate Percentage Interests of NMMs before Reduction, times 
(ii)    75% Percentage Interest of MM before Reduction
Calculation of Profit Participation Amount for NMMs:
$431,667, computed as the sum of
1.    $18,000 (Cumulative distributions pursuant to Sec. 5.6.A(2) that did not result in a Reduction), and
2.    $413,667 ($2,482,000 [$2.5MM cumulative distributions pursuant to sec. 5.6.A(2) —$18,000]) 
* (($30 weighted average Value on each Reduction Date - $25 Effective Price)/$30 weighted average Value on each Reduction Date)

FORM OF PRINCIPAL GUARANTEE
GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (“Guarantee”), dated as of May 1, 2019, is made by each of the persons or entities whose names, severally but not jointly, are set forth on a counterpart signature page attached hereto (each, a “Guarantor,” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Guaranteed Party”).
WHEREAS, HCP DR California III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), is indebted to Guaranteed Party pursuant to that certain promissory note, dated as of May 1, 2019, in the original principal amount of Thirty-One Million Six Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-Six and No/100ths Dollars ($31,636,786.00), made by Borrower in favor of Guaranteed Party (the “Credit Document”).
WHEREAS, each Guarantor desires to guarantee collection of a portion of the amount owing under the Credit Document (the “Obligations”) up to an amount not in excess of the amount set forth on such Guarantor’s counterpart signature page attached hereto (such amount, as applicable to each individual Guarantor, such Guarantor’s “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” and all such amounts in the aggregate with respect to all Guarantors, the “Guaranteed Amount”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Guarantors agree as follows:
		
	1.
	Guarantee. 

		
	A.
	Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the collection by Guaranteed Party of, and hereby agree to pay to Guaranteed Party upon demand (following the commercially reasonable exhaustion of the exercise of any and all remedies available to Guaranteed Party against Borrower, including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, realizing upon the assets of Borrower or any other collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Guaranteed Amount over the Borrower Proceeds (as hereinafter defined); provided that the obligation of each Guarantor shall be limited severally, and not jointly, to such Guarantor’s Maximum Guaranteed Amount, as set forth on such Guarantor’s counterpart signature page attached hereto. Each Guarantor’s obligations as set forth in this Paragraph 1.A are hereinafter referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.”

		
	B.
	For the purposes of this Guarantee, the term “Borrower Proceeds” shall mean the aggregate of all amounts collected from Borrower or realized 

E-1

from the sale or other disposition of assets of Borrower (whether applied to the Guaranteed Obligations or other obligations).
2.    Waivers; Other Agreements. Guaranteed Party is hereby authorized, without notice or demand upon any Guarantor, which notice or demand is expressly waived hereby, and without discharging or otherwise affecting the enforceability of the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (which shall remain absolute and unconditional notwithstanding any such action or omission to act), from time to time to:
		
	(i)
	waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with any provision of the Credit Document, or any part thereof, or any other instrument or agreement in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter executed by Borrower or any other person and delivered to Guaranteed Party;

		
	(ii)
	accept partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations by Borrower;

		
	(iii)
	receive, take and hold additional security or collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or for the payment of this Guarantee, or for the payment of any other guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, transfer, or otherwise alter or release any such additional security or collateral;

		
	(iv)
	apply any and all such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Guaranteed Party may determine in its sole discretion;

		
	(v)
	settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations or accept, substitute, release, exchange or otherwise alter, affect or impair any mortgage or any other security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee therefor, in any manner;

		
	(vi)
	add, release or substitute any one or more other guarantors, borrowers or endorsers of the Guaranteed Obligations and otherwise deal with Borrower or any other guarantor as Guaranteed Party may elect in its sole discretion; and

		
	(vii)
	apply any and all payments or recoveries from Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, to such of the Guaranteed Obligations as Guaranteed Party in its sole discretion may determine, whether such Guaranteed Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others.

E-2

3.    Independent Obligations. Except as expressly set forth in Paragraph 1, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought by Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor, whether or not actions are brought against Borrower. Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Borrower, or any other person directly or contingently liable for the payment or performance of the obligations under the Credit Document arising from the existence or performance of this Guarantee (including, but not limited to, Guaranteed Party, or any other member of Borrower) (except and only to the extent that such Guarantor makes a payment to Guaranteed Party in excess of the amount required to be paid under Paragraph 1 and the limitations set forth therein).
4.    Miscellaneous. 
		
	A.
	Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 4.A, this Guarantee is irrevocable as to any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor until such Guarantor has disposed of all of its equity interests in Borrower (the “Termination Date”), provided that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall continue after the Termination Date to the extent of any claims that are attributable fully and solely to an event or action that occurred on or before the Termination Date. 

		
	B.
	In the event that any Guarantor disposes of all or any portion of such Guarantor’s equity interest in Borrower, the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor shall be decreased by an amount equal to the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor allocable to the disposed of equity interest (a “Reduction Date”), provided that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall continue after the Reduction Date with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations undiminished by such reduction to the extent of any claims that are attributable fully and solely to an event or action that occurred on or before said Reduction Date. 

		
	C.
	This Guarantee is binding on each Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and inures to the benefit of Guaranteed Party.

		
	D.
	Upon request of the Guaranteed Party, the Guarantor shall provide the Guaranteed Party commercially reasonable documentation regarding the Guarantor’s financial condition, including any applicable financial statements that illustrate the Guarantor’s wherewithal to satisfy the Guarantee.  

		
	E.
	The Guarantor intends that this Guarantee satisfy the requirements of Code Section 752 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder for a valid payment obligation with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation.

E-3

		
	F.
	No delay on the part of Guaranteed Party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise or waiver by Guaranteed Party of any right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof, nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guarantee be binding upon Guaranteed Party, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed or delivered by Guaranteed Party or on Guaranteed Party’s behalf by an authorized officer or agent of Guaranteed Party. Guaranteed Party’s failure at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by Borrower, any Guarantor or any other person of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any security agreement, agreements, guarantee, instrument or document now or at any time or times hereafter executed by Borrower or any Guarantor or delivered to Guaranteed Party shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Guaranteed Party at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Guaranteed Party, its agents, officers, or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing signed by an officer or agent of Guaranteed Party and directed to Borrower or such Guarantor, or any of them (as the case may be) specifying such waiver. No waiver by Guaranteed Party of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same default on a future occasion, and no action by Guaranteed Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair Guaranteed Party’s rights or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee.

		
	G.
	This Guarantee shall be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. 

		
	H.
	This Guarantee contains all the terms and conditions of the agreement between Guaranteed Party and each Guarantor. The terms and provisions of this Guarantee may not be waived, altered, modified or amended except in writing duly executed by the party to be charged thereby.

		
	I.
	This Guarantee may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.    The exchange of copies of this Guarantee and of signature pages by facsimile transmission or electronic mail transmission (e.g., in .PDF format) will constitute effective execution and delivery of this Guarantee as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Guarantee for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail (e.g., in .PDF format) will be deemed to be their original signatures for any purpose whatsoever.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed. As used herein, “Applicable Interest Rate” shall mean the ten (10) year U.S. Treasury Note rate published in the Wall Street Journal as of the date of each payment by Payor, plus four and fifty-two hundredths percent (4.52%).
2.    Loan Documents; Security.  The loan (the “Loan”) evidenced by this Demand Promissory Note (this “Note”), and is secured by that certain Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) executed and delivered concurrently herewith by and between Payor, as pledgor, and Payee, as the secured party.  This Note, the Pledge Agreement, and all other agreements, documents and instruments securing or relating to the Loan, will hereinafter be referred to collectively as the “Loan Documents.”
3.    Payment Schedule.  From the date of this Note to and until the Demand Date (as hereinafter defined), Payor shall pay quarterly all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note. Each such quarterly installment of accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid on or before the Quarterly Installment Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Demand Date shall be deemed to have automatically occurred, and without the requirement of any notice or demand from Payor upon  the occurrence of any of the following:  (a) the transfer of fee title to all or any part of the real property owned directly or indirectly by any of the Pledgors under the Pledge Agreement (the “Real Property”) or any other transfer of such Real Property that could constitute a sale for United States federal tax purposes; (b) the date on which less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the value of the assets of any such Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement is comprised of real property; or (c) the date on which Payor’s allocable share of the value of the Real Property (taken together) (less any liabilities) is less than the Principal

To induce Secured Party to make the Loan to Pledgor in the Loan Amount pursuant to the Note, Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party on the Effective Date, that:
3.1    Organization and Qualification; Authority; Binding Effect.  
(a)    Pledgor is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite power and authority conduct its business as now being conducted.
(b)    Pledgor has, and at the Effective Date shall have, the full and unrestricted right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions and perform all obligations contemplated hereby to be performed by it and in all agreements, instruments and documents being or to be executed and delivered by it in connection with such transactions.

authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Pledgor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Pledgor, enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms.
3.2    No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.
(a)    The execution and delivery by Pledgor of this Agreement, Pledgor’s performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall not conflict with or violate or constitute, with or without notice or the lapse of time or both, a breach of or default under: (i) the certificate of formation, operating agreement or other agreement or instrument addressing the ownership or internal operations of Pledgor; (ii) any provision of applicable law or a governmental order; (iii) any contract to which Pledgor is a party; or (iv) any other instrument to which Pledgor is a party or by which Pledgor may be bound.

3.3    Title; No Other Liens.  Pledgor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims, including, without limitation, liens arising as a result of Pledgor becoming bound (as a result of merger or otherwise) as pledgor under a security agreement or pledge agreement entered into by another Person, except, with respect to any Collateral other than Pledged Equity Interests, for Permitted Liens and, in the case of Pledged Equity Interests, Permitted Liens arising pursuant to applicable laws.  No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of Secured Party, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Note.
3.4    Valid, Perfected First Priority Liens.  The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement constitute a legal and valid security interest in favor of Secured Party, securing the payment and performance of Pledgor’s Secured Obligations and upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 2 (all of which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to Secured Party in duly completed and duly executed form, as applicable, and may be filed by Secured Party at any time) and payment of all filing fees, will constitute fully perfected security interests in all of the Collateral, prior to all other Liens on the Collateral except for Permitted Liens.  Without limiting the foregoing, Pledgor has taken all actions necessary or desirable, including without limitation those specified in Section 4.2 to establish Secured Party’s “control” (within the meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) over any portion of the Collateral constituting Certificated Securities or Uncertificated Securities.
3.5    Name; Jurisdiction of Organization, Etc.   Pledgor’s exact legal name (as indicated on the public record of Pledgor’s jurisdiction of formation or organization), jurisdiction 

of organization, and the location of Pledgor’s chief executive office or sole place of business are specified on Schedule 3.  Pledgor is organized solely under the law of the jurisdiction so specified and has not filed any certificates of domestication, transfer or continuance in any other jurisdiction.  Except as otherwise indicated on Schedule 3, the jurisdiction of each Pledgor’s organization of formation is required to maintain a public record showing Pledgor to have been organized or formed.  Except as specified on Schedule 3, it has not changed its name, jurisdiction of organization, chief executive office or sole place of business (if applicable) or its corporate structure in any way (e.g. by merger, consolidation, change in corporate form or otherwise) within the past five (5) years and has not within the last five (5) years become bound (whether as a result of merger or otherwise) as pledgor under a security agreement entered into by another Person, which has not heretofore been terminated.  Unless otherwise stated on Schedule 3, Pledgor is not a transmitting utility as defined in UCC § 9-102(a)(80).
3.6    Pledged Equity Interests.  
(a)     Schedule 1 hereto sets forth under the headings “Pledged LLC Interests” all of the Pledged LLC Interests owned by Pledgor and such Pledged Equity Interests constitute the percentage of issued and outstanding membership interests of the respective Issuers thereof indicated on such Schedule.  
(b)    All the shares of the Pledged Equity Interests have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.  Pledgor is not in default of its obligations under any organizational document of any Issuer of Pledged Equity Interests.
(c)     None of the Pledged LLC Interests are, or represent interests in entities that (i) are registered as investment companies, (ii) are dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or markets or (iii) have opted to be treated as securities under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction. None of the Pledged Equity Interests are credited to any Securities Account.
(d)     No consent, approval or authorization of any Person is required for the pledge by Pledgor of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, whether under the organizational documents of any Issuer of Pledged Equity Interests or otherwise, except such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
(e)    There are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any Pledged Equity Interests.
SECTION 4.  COVENANTS
Pledgor covenants and agrees with Secured Party that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Discharge of the Secured Obligations:
4.1    Covenants in Note.  Pledgor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by Pledgor or any of its subsidiaries. 

4.2    Delivery and Control of Pledged Equity Interests.  
If any of the Collateral is or shall become evidenced or represented by any Certificated Security, such Certificated Security shall be immediately delivered to Secured Party, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Secured Party, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.
(a)    If any of the Collateral is or shall become evidenced or represented by an Uncertificated Security, Pledgor shall cause the Issuer thereof either (i) to register Secured Party as the registered owner of such Uncertificated Security, upon original issue or registration of transfer, or (ii) to agree in writing with Pledgor and Secured Party that such Issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such Uncertificated Security originated by Secured Party without further consent of Pledgor, such agreement to be in substantially the form of Exhibit A or in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party.
(b)    In addition to and not in lieu of the foregoing, if any Issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests is organized under the law of, or has its chief executive office in, a jurisdiction outside of the United States, Pledgor shall take such additional actions, including, without limitation, causing the Issuer to register the pledge on its books and records, as may be necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party, under the laws of such jurisdiction to insure the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest of Secured Party.
4.3    Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.  
(a)      Pledgor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest having at least the priority described in Section 3.4 and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(b)    Pledgor shall furnish to Secured Party from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the assets and property of Pledgor as Secured Party may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(c)    At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Secured Party, and at the sole expense of Pledgor, Pledgor shall promptly and duly authorize, execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as Secured Party may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby.
4.4    Changes in Locations, Name, Jurisdiction of Incorporation, Etc.  Pledgor will not, except upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Secured Party and delivery to Secured Party of duly authorized and, where required, executed copies of all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by Secured Party to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein:

(a)    without limiting the prohibitions on mergers involving Pledgor contained in the Note, change its legal name, jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or sole place of business, if applicable, from that referred to in Section 3.5; or
(b)    change its legal name, identity or structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by Secured Party in connection with this Agreement would become misleading.  
4.5    Notices.  Pledgor will advise Secured Party promptly, in reasonable detail, of:
(a)    any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) on any of the Collateral which would adversely affect the ability of Secured Party to exercise any of its remedies hereunder; and
(b)    the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereby.
4.6    Pledged Equity Interests.  
(a)      If Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock or other ownership certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), or option or rights in respect of the capital stock or other Pledged Equity Interest of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of or other ownership interests in the Pledged Equity Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, Pledgor shall accept the same as the agent of Secured Party, hold the same in trust for Secured Party and deliver the same forthwith to Secured Party in the exact form received, duly endorsed by Pledgor to Secured Party, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by Pledgor and with, if Secured Party so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to Secured Party to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of Secured Party, be delivered to Secured Party to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests shall be received by Pledgor, Pledgor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to Secured Party, hold such money or property in trust for Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

(b)    Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Pledgor will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to amend its organizational documents in any manner that materially changes the rights of Pledgor with respect to any Pledged Equity Interests or adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of Secured Party’s security interest therein, (ii) permit any Issuer of Pledged Equity Interests to issue any additional Equity Interests of any nature or issue securities convertible into Equity Interests of any Issuer or grant the right of purchase or exchange for any Equity Interests of any Issuer, (iii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Pledgor or Secured Party to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Equity Interests or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or (iv) cause or permit any Issuer of any Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged LLC Interests to be treated as securities for purposes of the UCC; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if any issuer of any Pledged LLC Interests takes any such action in violation of the foregoing in this clause (iii), Pledgor shall promptly notify Secured Party in writing of any such election or action and, in such event, shall take all steps necessary or advisable to establish Secured Party’s “control” thereof.

4.7    Voting and Other Rights with Respect to Pledged Equity Interests.  
(a)      Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests in the ordinary course of business of the relevant Issuer, to the extent permitted by the Note, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which, in Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Note or this Agreement.
(b)    If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:  (i) all rights of Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights with respect to Pledged Equity Interests which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights, and (ii) Secured Party shall have the right, without notice to Pledgor, to transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests to its name or the name of its nominee or agent.  In addition, Secured Party shall have the right at any time, without notice to Pledgor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Pledged Equity Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.  In order to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Secured Party all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request and Pledgor acknowledges that Secured Party may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein.

(c)    Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests pledged by Pledgor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from Secured Party in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Pledgor, and Pledgor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests directly to Secured Party.
4.8    Issuer Subsidiary Interests.  Pledgor shall not permit any Issuer to, nor permit Issuer to enter into any agreement to, encumber, sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of an Issuer Subsidiary or any of the Issuer Subsidiary Interests or acquire any assets unrelated to the senior housing communities currently owned, directly or indirectly, by any such Issuer Subsidiary.
SECTION 5.  REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
5.1    Proceeds to be Turned Over To Secured Party.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by Pledgor consisting of cash, cash equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Pledgor in trust for Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Pledgor, be turned over to Secured Party in the exact form received by Pledgor (duly endorsed by Pledgor to Secured Party, if required).  All Proceeds received by Secured Party hereunder shall be held by Secured Party in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control.  All Proceeds while held by Secured Party in a Collateral Account (or by Pledgor in trust for Secured Party) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.2.
5.2    Application of Proceeds.  At such intervals as may be agreed upon by Pledgor and Secured Party, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at Secured Party’s election, Secured Party may (and, if directed by the Secured Party, shall), apply all or any part of the Collateral and/or net Proceeds thereof (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 5.3) realized through the exercise by Secured Party of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account (all references in this Section 5.2 to Proceeds shall include proceeds of such guarantee), in payment of the Secured Obligations.  Secured Party shall apply any such Collateral or Proceeds to be applied in the following order:
(a)    First, to Secured Party in respect of the Secured Obligations to and until Discharge of the Secured Obligations in full; and
(b)    Second, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations in full shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same and any Collateral remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations in full shall be returned to Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Any Proceeds not applied shall be held by Secured Party as Collateral.    

5.3    Code and Other Remedies.  
(a)      If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Secured Party, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, Secured Party shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  Secured Party may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like.  The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  Pledgor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Secured Party to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  Pledgor further agrees, at Secured Party’s 

request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at places which Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere.  Secured Party shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process.  Secured Party shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
(b)    Secured Party shall deduct from such Proceeds all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.  Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by Secured Party in accordance with Section 5.2.  Only after such application and after the payment by Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor.  If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Pledgor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by Secured Party.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Pledgor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it or them of any rights hereunder.
5.4    Effect of Securities Laws.  Pledgor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
5.5    Deficiency.  Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 6.  POWER OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
6.1    Secured Party’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc.  
(a)      Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of 

Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby gives Secured Party the power and right, on behalf of Pledgor, without notice to or assent by Pledgor, to do any or all of the following:
(i)    in the name of Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii)    pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iii)    execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.3 or 5.4, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(iv)    (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Secured Party or as Secured Party shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as Secured Party may deem appropriate; and (7) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at Secured Party’s option and Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Pledgor might do.
Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, Secured Party agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b)    If Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, Secured Party, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, Secured Party shall not exercise this power without first making demand on Pledgor and Pledgor failing to promptly comply therewith.
(c)    The expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due under the Note, from the date of payment by Secured Party to the date reimbursed by the Pledgor, shall be payable by the Pledgor to Secured Party on demand.
(d)    Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Secured Obligations.
6.2    Authorization of Financing Statements.  Pledgor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC and any other applicable law, Secured Party is authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as Secured Party reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of Secured Party under this Agreement.  Pledgor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as Secured Party, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable.  A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
6.3    Further Assurances.  Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Pledgor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor shall:
(a)    file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;
(b)    at Secured Party’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect Pledgor’s title to or Secured Party’s interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and

(c)    furnish Secured Party with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time.
SECTION 7.  MISCELLANEOUS
7.1    Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by Pledgor and Secured Party, provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on Pledgor may be waived by Secured Party in a written instrument executed by Secured Party.  
7.2    Notices.  Any notice, demand, request or report required or permitted to be given or made to Secured Party or Pledgor under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or made when delivered in person or when sent by first class United States mail or by other means of written communication (including by telecopy, facsimile, or commercial courier service) (i) in the case of Secured Party, to Secured Party at the address set forth below or such other address of which Secured Party shall notify Pledgor in writing, and (ii) in the case of Pledgor, to the address of which Pledgor shall notify Secured Party in writing; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon Pledgor shall be addressed to Pledgor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 3.

7.3    No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.  Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
7.4    Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(c)    Pledgor agrees to pay, and to hold Secured Party harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement.
(d)    The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Note.
7.5    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party and their successors and assigns; provided that Pledgor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured Party and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void.
7.6    Set-Off.  Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to Pledgor, any such notice being expressly waived by Pledgor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such party to or for the credit or the account of Pledgor, or any part thereof in such amounts as Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Pledgor to Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of Secured Party against Pledgor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Note, as Secured Party may elect, whether or not Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured.  If Secured Party exercises any right of set-off, it shall notify Pledgor promptly of any such set-off and the application made Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Secured Party may have.
7.7    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

7.8    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
7.9    Section Headings.  The Section headings and “Table of Contents” used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

7.12    Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:  
(a)    submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California sitting in the County of Orange, the courts of the United States for the Central District of California sitting in the County of Orange, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b)    agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such California state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court;
(c)    agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other 

manner provided by law and that nothing in this agreement shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against Pledgor or any of its assets in the courts of any jurisdiction;
(d)    waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section (and irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court); and

At the request and sole expense of Pledgor following any such termination, Secured Party shall deliver to Pledgor any Collateral held by Secured Party hereunder, and execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
7.15    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY, COMMON LAW, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

WHEREAS, Pledgor has granted to Secured Party a security interest in the Uncertificated Securities (as hereinafter defined) of the Issuer owned, directly or indirectly, by Pledgor from time to time (collectively, the “Pledged Securities”), and all additions thereto and substitutions and proceeds thereof (collectively, with the Pledged Securities, the “Collateral”) pursuant to a Pledge Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”), by and between Pledgor and Secured Party.
WHEREAS, the following terms which are defined in Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of California on the date hereof (the “UCC”) are used herein as so defined:  Adverse Claim, Control, Instruction, Proceeds and Uncertificated Security.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1.    Notice of Security Interest.  Pledgor, Secured Party and the Issuer are entering into this Control Agreement to perfect, and to confirm the priority of, Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.  The Issuer acknowledges that this Control Agreement constitutes written notification to the Issuer of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.  The Issuer agrees to promptly make all necessary entries or notations in its books and records to reflect Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral and, upon request by Secured Party, to register Secured Party as the registered owner of any or all of the Pledged Securities.  The Issuer acknowledges that Secured Party has Control over the Collateral.
SECTION 2.    Collateral.  The Issuer hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with Pledgor and Secured Party that (i) the terms of any limited liability company interests or partnership interests included in the Collateral from time to time shall expressly provide that they are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the State of California, (ii) the Pledged Securities are Uncertificated Securities, (iii) the Issuer’s jurisdiction is, and during the term of this Control Agreement shall remain, the State of California, (iv) Schedule 1 of the Pledge Agreement contains a true and complete description of the Pledged Securities as of the date hereof, and (v) except for the claims and interests of Secured Party and Pledgor in the Collateral, the Issuer does not know of any claim to or security interest or other interest in the Collateral.

A-1

SECTION 3.    Control.  The Issuer hereby agrees, upon written direction from Secured Party and without further consent from Pledgor, (i) to comply with all instructions and directions of any kind originated by Secured Party concerning the Collateral, to liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral as and to the extent directed by Secured Party and to pay over to Secured Party all Proceeds without any set-off or deduction, and (ii) except as otherwise directed by Secured Party, not to comply with the instructions or directions of any kind originated by Pledgor or any other person.
SECTION 4.    Other Agreements.  The Issuer shall notify promptly Secured Party and Pledgor if any other person asserts any lien, encumbrance, claim (including any Adverse Claim) or security interest in or against any of the Collateral.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Control Agreement and any other agreement governing the Pledged Securities or the Collateral, the provisions of this Control Agreement shall control. 
SECTION 5.    Foreclosure or Transfer in Lieu of Foreclosure.  If Secured Party acquires the Collateral through foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, then Secured Party shall automatically replace Pledgor as the sole member of each Issuer and, indirectly, of each of the “Issuer Subsidiaries” identified on Schedule 1 of the Pledge Agreement, in each case as of the date of foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure.
SECTION 6.    Protection of Issuer.  The Issuer may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any notice, instruction or other communication that it reasonably believes to be genuine and authorized.
SECTION 7.    Termination.  This Control Agreement shall terminate automatically upon receipt by the Issuer of written notice executed by Secured Party that (i)  the Discharge of the Secured Obligations has occurred, or (ii) all of the Collateral has been released, whichever is sooner, and the Issuer shall thereafter be relieved of all duties and obligations hereunder.
SECTION 8.    Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three (3) days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, to Pledgor’s and Secured Party’s addresses as set forth in the Pledge Agreement, and to the Issuer’s address as set forth below, or to such other address as any party may give to the others in writing for such purpose:

SECTION 13  Section Headings.  The Section headings used in this Control Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
SECTION 14   Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each of Pledgor and the Issuer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(f)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

Schedule 2-1Exhibit

Exhibit 10.1

APACHE CORPORATION
INCOME CONTINUANCE PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective as of July 29, 2019)
The Company desires to provide income continuance benefits to the following groups of its employees in case there is a change of control affecting the Company, for the reasons indicated:
(i)Those 40 years of age and older, a protected class under federal and state age discrimination laws, because it has been determined that they typically have more difficulty in finding new employment than younger persons;
(ii)Those who have been continuously employed by the Company for 10 years or more, because they have demonstrated their personal commitment to the success of the Company;
(iii)Those whose special skills, experience or potential justify their inclusion in order to acquire or retain their services; and
(iv)Those who are officers of the Company.
The Company adopted this Plan on January 10, 1986 in order to protect the income and other employee benefits of the Company’s Employees and in order to induce the Employees to remain in the employ of the Company for the ultimate benefit of the Company and its shareholders.

The Plan is intended to create a binding legal relationship between the Company and each Employee, and a copy of the Plan together with applicable conditions will be given to each Employee. It is also intended that this Plan comply with the requirements of Code §409A, and it shall be interpreted in this light.
Section 1.Definitions.
(a)    “Benefit Period” shall mean (i), for each officer of the Company, 24 months following such officer’s Termination Date and (ii), for all other eligible Employees, a period of time following such Employee’s Termination Date equal to half the number of months of his or her continuous service with the Company on his or her Termination Date, up to a maximum Benefit Period of 24 months for each Employee who is not an officer. If an Employee would receive less than 24 months under the preceding sentence, the Benefit Period may be extended for such Employee to a maximum of 24 months, if the Company concludes the extension is reasonably required in order to induce an individual to accept employment or in order to retain an existing employee.
(b)    “Change of Control” shall mean (i) any individual, entity, or group (including within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 1(b), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control:  (I) any acquisition of Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities directly from 

the Company that is approved by the Incumbent Board (defined below), (II) any acquisition of Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities by the Company, (III) any acquisition of Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any affiliate thereof, or (IV) any acquisition of Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities in a transaction that is part of a Business Combination  that complies with Sections 1(b)(iii)(A), 1(b)(iii)(B), and 1(b)(iii)(C) below; (ii) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the board of directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the board of directors; (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange, or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including by sale, reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange, or consolidation or similar transaction involving the shares of all or substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries), or the acquisition of assets or securities of another entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination, and (B) no Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement and at the time of the action of the board of directors providing for such Business Combination; or (iv) approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in the case of any item of compensation to which the foregoing definition would otherwise apply with the effect that the tax under Code §409A would apply or be imposed on such compensation, but where such tax would not apply or be imposed if the meaning of the term “Change of Control” met the requirements of Code §409A(a)(2)(A)(v), then the term “Change of Control” herein shall mean, but only with respect to the income so affected, a transaction, 

- 2 -

circumstance, or event that constitutes a “Change of Control” (as defined above) and that also constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5), and (y) for purposes of the Apache Corporation Deferred Delivery Plan and any other Company or Company affiliate plan, arrangement, or agreement that incorporates the definition of “Change of Control” herein (except this Plan and the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan and 2016 Omnibus Compensation Plan and the awards under any of them), if the “Change of Control” as set forth herein as of the 2019 Restatement Date would result in any item of compensation being subject to the tax under Code §409A but where such tax would not apply or be imposed if the meaning of the term “Change of Control” as in effect immediately prior to 2019 Restatement Date applied, then the definition of “Change of Control” as in effect immediately prior to the 2019 Restatement Date shall continue to apply to the Apache Corporation Deferred Delivery Plan and any other Company or Company affiliate plan, arrangement, or agreement that incorporates the definition of “Change of Control” herein (except this Plan and the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan and 2016 Omnibus Compensation Plan and the awards thereunder).  For the avoidance of doubt, subclause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence does not apply to this Plan or the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan or 2016 Omnibus Compensation Plan or any awards under any of them.
(c)    “COBRA Premium” shall mean 100% of the applicable premium, as defined in Code §4980B(f)(4).

(iv)    is an officer of the Company.

(l)    “Incumbent Board” shall have the meaning given such term in the definition of Change of Control.
(m)    “Lump Sum Payment” shall mean an amount equal to 12 times the applicable Executive Officer’s Monthly Compensation.
(n)    “Monthly Compensation” shall mean one-twelfth of the total of all cash compensation, including wages, salary, and any other incentive compensation, bonuses, commissions and non-salary and non-wage cash compensation, that was paid as consideration for the Employee’s services during the year immediately preceding the Termination Date, or that would have been so paid at the Employee’s usual rate of cash compensation if the Employee had worked a full year; provided, that for purposes of determining the amount of the Monthly Compensation with respect to bonuses, such bonuses shall be valued at the greater of (i) the target bonus for the year in which the Termination Date occurs or (ii) the average bonus paid to the Employee for each of the three years immediately preceding the year in which the Termination Date occurs; and provided further that cash compensation shall not include or be deemed or interpreted to include any cash settled stock awards or cash valued by reference to the publicly traded stock price of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, for the avoidance of doubt, cash paid under the Company’s long-term incentive plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any element of compensation used in calculating Monthly Compensation is decreased with respect to an Employee after a Change of Control or within six months prior to a Change of Control, the amount of such element as in effect immediately prior to such decrease with respect to such Employee shall be used in such calculation.
(o)    “Participant” shall mean an Employee who has become entitled to the benefits under the Plan pursuant to Section 2.
(p)    “Plan” shall mean the Income Continuance Plan of the Company, as amended.
(q)    “Pro Rata Bonus” shall mean an amount equal to the annual bonus the applicable Employee would have received for the year in which the Separation from Service occurred, calculated as if he or she had not experienced such Separation from Service, with such amount prorated for the portion of the year in which such Separation from Service occurred.
(r)    “Retirement Plan Contribution Amount” means the amount of employer contributions that would have been made to the Company’s (or its successor’s) qualified retirement plans on the Employee’s behalf during the Benefit Period if the Employee had not experienced a Separation from Service, calculated as if the Employee’s compensation for such plan’s purposes and employee contributions thereto, if applicable, remained at the level as in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date.
(s)    “Separation from Service” and “Separate from Service” shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of Code §409A(a)(2)(A)(i). A Participant who has a Separation from Service “Separates from Service.” For purposes of this Plan, a Separation from Service occurs when the Company and the Participant both expect the Participant’s level of services to permanently drop by more than 50% from his or her average level of services during the preceding 36 months (or, if less, the duration of his or her employment with the Company).

- 4 -

(t)    “Specified Employee” shall have the same meaning as in Code §409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and is determined using the default rules contained in the regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued pursuant to Code §409A.
(u)    “Termination Date” shall mean:
(i)    If an Employee’s Separation from Service is involuntary, his or her Termination Date is the date on which an authorized written or oral statement is conveyed to the Employee indicating that the Employee’s employment is terminated; or
(ii)    If an Employee’s Separation from Service is voluntary, his or her Termination Date is the date on which the Employee delivers a written notice to the Company or its successor advising of termination of employment.
(v)    “2019 Restatement Date” shall mean the effective date of this amendment and restatement of the Plan.
Section 2.    Eligibility for Benefits.
The benefits described in this Plan shall come into effect only if the Employee is “terminated” on or within 24 months after the Change of Control. For this purpose, an Employee is considered “terminated” in the following circumstances.

(a)    Involuntary Termination. Each of the following three conditions is satisfied.

(i)    The Company or its successor terminates an Employee for any reason on or after the Change of Control.

(ii)    The termination constitutes a Separation from Service.

(iii)    The termination does not result from an act of the Employee that (A) constitutes common-law fraud, a felony, or a gross malfeasance of duty, and (B) is materially detrimental to the best interests of the Company or its successor.

(b)    Voluntary Termination with Cause. Either the facts and circumstances indicate that each of the following five conditions is satisfied or that the Participant’s termination is properly characterized as involuntary pursuant Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(n)(2), other IRS guidance of general applicability, or an IRS private letter ruling applicable to the Participant.

(i)    The Employee Separates from Service of his or her own volition.

(ii)    The Employee’s Separation from Service occurs during the 24-month period beginning on the date of the Change of Control.

(iii)    One or more of the following conditions occurs without the Employee’s consent on or after the Change of Control:
            
(A)    There is a material diminution in the Employee’s base compensation, compared to his or her rate of base compensation on the date of the Change of Control.

- 5 -

(B)    There is a material diminution in the Employee’s authority, duties, or responsibilities.

(C)    There is a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the Employee’s supervisor, such as a requirement that the Employee (or his or her supervisor) report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the board of directors.
    
(D)    There is a material diminution in the budget over which the Employee retains authority.

(E)    There is a material change in the geographic location at which the Employee must perform his or her services, including, for example, the assignment of the Employee to a regular workplace that is more than 50 miles from his or her regular workplace on the date of the Change of Control.

(iv)    The Employee must notify the Company of the existence of one or more adverse conditions specified in paragraph (iii) within 90 days of the initial existence of the adverse condition. The notice must be provided in writing to the Company or its successor, attention: Vice President, Human Resources. The notice may be provided by personal delivery or it may be sent by email, inter-office mail, regular mail (whether or not certified), fax, or any similar method. The Company’s Vice President, Human Resources or his or her delegate shall acknowledge receipt of the notice within 5 business days; the acknowledgement shall be sent to the Employee by certified mail.
(v)    The Company does not remedy the adverse condition within 30 days of being notified of the adverse condition.
Section 3.    Benefits.
(a)    Monthly Compensation; Lump Sum Payment; Pro Rata Bonus; Retirement Plan Contribution Amount.
(i)    Timing of Payments, General. Except as provided for Specified Employees in paragraph (ii) or as reduced in paragraph (iii), each month the Participant will be paid his or her Monthly Compensation.  The first payment of the Monthly Compensation will be made on the first 15th of the month that occurs after the Participant’s Separation from Service or as soon thereafter as is administratively practicable, and subsequent payments thereof will be made on the 15th of each succeeding month.  The number of payments of Monthly Compensation the Participant receives is equal to the number of months in his or her Benefit Period.  In addition, except as provided for Specified Employees in paragraph (ii) or as reduced in paragraph (iii), the Participant will also be paid his or her Pro Rata Bonus, Retirement Plan Contribution Amount, and, if and only if the Participant is an Executive Officer, the Lump Sum Payment.  The Pro Rata Bonus, the Retirement Plan Contribution Amount, and, if applicable, the Lump Sum Payment shall be paid in a single lump sum in cash within 60 days after his or her Separation from Service. 

- 6 -

(ii)    Exceptions for Specified Employees. This paragraph applies to the payments to a Participant who is a Specified Employee. The Specified Employee shall be paid as described in subsection (a)(i) with the following exceptions for his or her first six payments of Monthly Compensation and his or her Pro Rata Bonus, Retirement Plan Contribution Amount, and, if applicable, the Lump Sum Payment.
(A)    No Deferral of Compensation. The payments under this Plan generally cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture when the Participant Separates from Service. If the payments cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture in one year and the Participant Separates from Service on or before October 15 of that year, the first six payments of Monthly Compensation and the Pro Rata Bonus, the Retirement Plan Contribution Amount, and, if applicable, the Lump Sum Payment will be made at the times specified in subsection (a)(i). If the payments cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture in one year and the Participant Separates from Service after October 15 of that year, regular payments will be made at the times specified in subsection (a)(i) through February 15 in the year after the Separation from Service and the remainder of the first six payments of Monthly Compensation (and, if not already paid, the Pro Rata Bonus, the Retirement Plan Contribution Amount, and, if applicable, the Lump Sum Payment) will be paid on March 15 (or if March 15 is not a business day, the payment shall be made on the immediately preceding business day).
For example, if the Participant terminates on December 31, he or she will receive the regular payments of Monthly Compensation on January 15 and February 15 (along with the Pro Rata Bonus, the Retirement Plan Contribution Amount, and, if applicable, the Lump Sum Payment, within 60 days after December 31) and will receive four months’ worth of Monthly Compensation payments on March 15. His or her next payment of Monthly Compensation will be on July 15.
For purposes of Treasury Regulation §§ 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(F) and 1.409A-2(b)(2), each payment from this Plan is considered a separate payment.
(B)    Limited Payments during First Six Months. This subparagraph applies only if subparagraph (A) does not apply to the Specified Employee, such as when his or her benefits cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture in a year earlier than the year of his or her Separation from Service. Each month, the sum of (1) the monthly payment under this paragraph (ii) (which shall include the amount of the Pro Rata Bonus, the Retirement Plan Contribution Amount, and, if applicable, the Lump Sum Payment for the month in which each such amount is paid), (2) the amount of any gross-up under paragraphs (b)(iii) or (b)(iv), and (3) any payment from any other separation pay plan (other than those described in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(ii), (iv), or (v)) is limited to the lesser of one-third of the Participant’s annual compensation for the year preceding the year in which he or she Separated from Service or one-third of the annual limit in effect under Code §401(a)(17) for the calendar year containing the Separation from Service. For this purpose, “annual compensation” means the Participant’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay for services provided to the Company for the year preceding the year in which the Participant Separated from Service, adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely had the Participant not Separated from Service. If any monthly payments are limited by the foregoing, the reductions in each payment shall be aggregated and that exact sum shall be paid to the Specified Employee six months after his or her Separation from Service.
(iii)    Reduction in Payments. The payments described in this subsection shall be reduced by the amount of any severance pay required by foreign law.

- 7 -

(b)    Continued Health Coverage.
(i)    General. The Participant shall continue to be covered by the Company’s medical plan, dental plan, vision plan, and employee assistance program after Separating from Service for the number of months in his or her Benefit Period. The Participant and his or her family members may also be able to continue their coverage even after the Benefit Period ends, pursuant to the continuation coverage rules under those plans. The benefits offered during the Benefit Period shall contain at least one alternative that is at least as valuable as the benefits offered immediately before the Change of Control. In addition, the Participant shall have the same coverage options as are available to current employees of the Company. The Participant may change his or her coverage from one alternative to another, and may add or drop coverage for his or her dependents or spouse, subject to the same rules as a current employee of the Company.
(ii)    Premiums. The Company may not charge a Participant for coverage under the employee assistance program. The Company may charge a premium for coverage under the medical, dental, and vision plans, but the maximum premium for the alternative(s) that are at least as valuable as the benefits offered immediately before the Change of Control shall not exceed what was charged under the schedule of premiums that was in effect immediately before the Change of Control. For example, if the premium was $64 per month for employee-only coverage and $200 per month for family coverage on the date of the Change of Control, and a male Participant marries a woman with children two months into their Benefit Period, their premium will be $200 per month for the remainder of their Benefit Period for coverage that is at least as valuable as the family coverage benefits immediately before the Change of Control.
(iii)    Cafeteria Plan. Except as provided in paragraph (iv), the Company shall ensure that it maintains a cafeteria plan that allows each Participant in this Plan to reduce their pay described in subsection (a) to pay their share of the premiums for medical, dental, and vision coverage generally on a pre-tax basis. If the cafeteria plan fails one of its nondiscrimination tests, a highly-paid Participant’s supposedly pre-tax deductions from his or her pay will generally be included in his or her taxable income. In this case, the Company shall pay the Participant a gross-up so that the highly-paid Participant’s after-tax income equals what it would have if his or her deduction from his or her pay were made on a pre-tax basis.
(iv)    After-Tax Premiums. Each year, beginning with the year containing the Change of Control, the Committee shall determine whether each self-funded health plan is discriminatory. If a self-funded plan is discriminatory, each Participant who was a highly-compensated individual (within the meaning of Code §105(h)(5)) shall pay the COBRA Premium for coverage with after-tax deductions from his or her pay described in subsection (a), and for purposes of Code §105 a separate self-funded health plan shall be considered to have been established for such highly-compensated individuals for that year. If sufficient deductions were not properly withheld, the Participant is responsible for reimbursing the Company for the underwithholding. The Company shall pay a gross-up to each Participant who was a highly-compensated individual (within the meaning of Code §105(h)(5)) so that his or her after-tax income equals what it would have if he or she only had to pay the amount described in paragraph (ii) for coverage and this amount was withheld on a pre-tax basis from his or her pay. In addition, the Committee may project during a year whether a self-funded plan will be discriminatory, and pay a gross-up to each Participant who is expected to be a highly-compensated individual (within the meaning of Code §105(h)(5)) for that year so that his or her after-tax income equals what it would have if he or she only had to pay the amount described in paragraph (ii) for coverage and this amount were withheld on a pre-tax basis from his or her pay.  To the extent that any insured plan 

- 8 -

is determined to be discriminatory pursuant to the Code or similar law (whether as a result of new guidance promulgated pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, or otherwise), the foregoing in this paragraph (iv) shall apply with respect to such insured plan to the extent reasonably practicable.
(v)    Gross-Up. If a Participant receives a gross-up under paragraph (iii) or (iv), the gross-up shall be paid as quickly as possible and no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant’s right to the gross-up arose. However, if the gross-up is due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability, the gross-up shall be paid as soon as administratively convenient after the litigation or audit is completed, and no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and non-appealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.
(c)    Continued Life Insurance. The Company shall continue to provide term- life insurance for each Participant until (i) the Participant stops paying the premiums or (ii) the Benefit Period expires. The amount of the available coverage shall be at least as much as was provided to the Participant on the date of the Change of Control. The Participant-paid portion of the premiums shall be no larger than the premiums charged to current employees of the Company who perform the same types of tasks, at the same level, as the Participant performed immediately before the Change of Control.
(d)    Legal Expenses.
(i)    Expenses That Are Not Subject to Code §409A. The Plan shall reimburse the Participant (or, if the Participant has died, his or her beneficiary, spouse, and dependents – collectively, the “claimant” in this subsection) for all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that the claimant incurs before the end of the calendar year containing the second anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service and that are incurred in any dispute, claim, mediation, arbitration, or preceding and that are incurred to seek to enforce the claimant’s rights against the Company or its successor under this Plan, regardless of whether the action is successful and regardless of who commenced such dispute, claim, mediation, arbitration, or proceeding. The Plan shall reimburse the claimant as soon as practicable following claimant’s submission of third-party invoices for such expenses and no later than the end of the calendar year containing the third anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service.
(ii)    Expenses That Are Subject to Code §409A. The Plan shall reimburse the claimant for all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that he or she incurs after the calendar year containing the second anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service and before the third anniversary of the Participant’s death and that are incurred in enforcing the claimant’s rights against the Company or its successor under this Plan, regardless of the whether the action is successful. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Plan that are subject to Code §409A shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Code §409A, including, without limitation, where applicable, the requirement that (A) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (B) the reimbursement of eligible fees and expenses shall be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the applicable fees and expenses were incurred; and (C) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

- 9 -

(e)    Noncompliance with Code §409A. To the extent that the Company takes any action that causes a violation of Code §409A or fails to take reasonable actions required to comply with Code §409A, the Company shall pay an additional amount (the “gross-up”) to the individual(s) who are subject to the penalty tax under Code §409A(a)(1) that is sufficient to put him or her in the same after-tax position he or she would have been in had there been no violation of Code §409A. The Company shall not pay a gross-up if the cause of the violation of Code §409A is because the recipient failed to take reasonable actions (such as failing to timely provide the information required for tax withholding or failing to timely provide other information reasonably requested by the Committee - with the result that the delay in payment violates Code §409A). Any gross-up will be made as soon as administratively convenient after the Committee determines the gross-up is owed, and no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the additional taxes are remitted. However, if the gross-up is due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability, the gross-up will be paid as soon as administratively convenient after the litigation or audit is completed, and no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and non­appealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.
(f)    Death of Participant.
(i)    Payments to Beneficiary. If the Participant dies during the Benefit Period, his or her Beneficiary shall be paid all remaining payments under subsection (a), (d), and (e), on the same schedule as they would have been paid to the Participant had he or she lived. See subsection (g) for possible delays. The amount paid to the Beneficiary will be reduced by the cost of health coverage of the surviving spouse and dependents. If the Beneficiary dies before receiving all such payments, any remaining payments shall be paid to the Beneficiary’s estate.
(ii)    Health Coverage. If the Participant dies during the Benefit Period, his or her spouse and dependents shall continue to receive the benefits identified in subsection (b), at the price specified in subsection (b), for the remaining duration of the Benefit Period. A surviving spouse or dependent who is not covered by such plans when the Participant dies may elect to be covered by such plans whenever the Participant could have elected coverage for them had he or she not died. Any gross-up under subsection (b)(iii) or (b)(iv) shall be made to the surviving spouse, if any, and otherwise to the dependents. (See Section 9 for payments to a minor.)
(iii)    Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant shall designate one or more persons, trusts, or other entities as his or her Beneficiary to receive any amounts identified in paragraph (i). In the absence of an effective beneficiary designation as to part or all of a Participant’s interest in the Plan, such amount will be distributed to the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, otherwise to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate.
(iv)    Special Rules for Spouses. A beneficiary designation may be changed by the Participant at any time and without the consent of any previously designated Beneficiary. However, if the Participant is married, his or her spouse will be his or her Beneficiary unless such spouse has consented to the designation of a different Beneficiary. To be effective, the spouse’s consent must be in writing, witnessed by a notary public, and filed with the Committee. If the Participant has designated his or her spouse as a primary or contingent Beneficiary, and the Participant and spouse later divorce (or their marriage is annulled), then the former spouse will be treated as having pre­ deceased the Participant for purposes of interpreting a beneficiary designation that was completed prior to the divorce or annulment; this provision will apply only if the Committee is informed of the divorce or annulment before payment to the former spouse is authorized.

- 10 -

(v)    Disclaiming. Any individual or legal entity who is a Beneficiary may disclaim all or any portion of his or her interest in the Plan, provided that the disclaimer satisfies the requirements of Code §2518(b) and applicable state law. The legal guardian of a minor or legally incompetent person may disclaim for such person. The personal representative (or the individual or legal entity acting in the capacity of the personal representative according to applicable state law) may disclaim on behalf of a Beneficiary who has died. The amount disclaimed will be distributed as if the disclaimant had predeceased the individual whose death caused the disclaimant to become a Beneficiary.
(g)    Administrative Delays in Payments. The Committee may delay any payment from this Plan for as short a period as is administratively necessary. For example, a delay may be imposed upon all payments from the Plan when there is a change of recordkeeper or trustee, and a delay may be imposed on payments to any recipient until they have provided the information needed for tax withholding and tax reporting, as well as any other information reasonably requested by the Committee. However, no delay may last long enough for the Plan to be considered a “pension plan” within the meaning of ERISA §3(2).
(h)    Technical Note. If a Participant or Beneficiary has a taxable year different from the calendar year, the deadlines under Article II shall be adjusted to the latest date, as specified in IRS guidance of general applicability, that would permit compliance with Code §409A.
(i)    Cash Payment and Withholding. All payments from the Plan will be made in cash. The Plan will withhold any taxes or other amounts that it is required to withhold pursuant to any applicable law. The Plan will also withhold any amounts (such as medical premiums) that the recipient authorizes the Plan or the Company to withhold.
(j)    Parachute Payments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by a Participant (including, without limitation, any payment or benefit received in connection with a Change of Control or the termination of Participant’s employment after a Change of Control, whether pursuant to the terms of this Plan or any other plan, program, arrangement, or agreement) (all such payments and benefits received or to be received, together, the “Total Receipts”) would be subject (in whole or part), to any excise tax imposed under Code §4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Receipts provided by reason of Code §280G in such other plan, program, arrangement, or agreement, the Company will reduce the payments and benefits comprising Total Receipts to the extent necessary, but only to the extent necessary, so that no portion of the Total Receipts is subject to the Excise Tax (but in no event to less than zero); provided, however, that the payments and benefits comprising Total Receipts will be reduced only if (a) the net amount of such Total Receipts, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state, municipal, and local income and employment taxes on such reduced Total Receipts and after taking into account any phase-out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Receipts), is greater than or equal to (b) the net amount of such Total Receipts without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state, municipal, and local income and employment taxes on such Total Receipts and the amount of Excise Tax to which Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Receipts and after taking into account any phase-out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Receipts).  In the case of a reduction in the payments and benefits comprising Total Receipts, the payments and benefits comprising Total Receipts will be reduced in the following order: (1) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation  §1.280G-1, Q&A24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (2) payments 

- 11 -

and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A24(a), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation §1.280G-1, Q&A 24), will next be reduced; (3) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation §1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with amounts that are payable last reduced first, will next be reduced; (4) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation §1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation §1.280G-1, Q&A 24), will next be reduced; and (5) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clause (2) or (4) will be next reduced pro-rata. Any reductions made pursuant to each of clauses (1) through (4) above will be made in the following manner: first, a pro-rata reduction of cash payment and payments and benefits due in respect of any equity not subject to Code §409A, and second, a pro-rata reduction of cash payments and payments and benefits due in respect of any equity subject to Code §409A as deferred compensation.
Section 4.    Administration.
(a)    Composition of the Committee.
(i)    Current. As of the 2019 Restatement Date, the Committee is comprised of the members of the Retirement Plan Advisory Committee.
(ii)    Before a Change of Control. Before a Change of Control, the board of directors of the Company shall appoint an administrative Committee consisting of no fewer than three individuals who may be, but need not be, Participants, officers, directors, or employees of the Company. The Company’s board of directors may remove Committee members at will. In the absence of any Committee members, the Company shall become the sole Committee member.
(iii)    After a Change of Control. This paragraph applies on and after the date of a Change of Control. The only individuals who are able to serve on the Committee after the date of the Change of Control are those who are not then employed by the Company, its successor, or any related legal entities. No Committee members may be added on or after the day of the Change of Control, except that, if the Committee is comprised solely of individuals, (A) the Committee may appoint a legal entity as a Committee member, who may generally resign by giving 60 days’ notice to the other Committee members, and (B) if the number of Committee members drops below three, the remaining member(s) may not resign until having appointed a legal entity or another individual as a Committee member. If all Committee members leave the Committee (if, for example, all Committee members die before the last one appoints a new Committee member or if the sole Committee member is a legal entity that goes out of business), the Committee shall automatically consist of the three Participants with the largest monthly payments from the Plan who are not then employed by the Company, its successor, or any related legal entities.
(iv)    Plan Administrator. The Committee is the Plan’s “administrator” within the meaning of ERISA §3(16)(A). The sole named fiduciaries of the Plan are the Committee and the trustees of any trusts from which Plan benefits may be paid.

- 12 -

(b)    Committee Duties. The Committee shall administer the Plan and shall have all discretion and powers necessary for that purpose, including, but not by way of limitation, full discretion and power to interpret the Plan, to determine the eligibility, status, and rights of all persons under the Plan and, in general, to decide any dispute and all questions arising in connection with the Plan. The Committee shall direct the Company, the trustee of any rabbi trust established to pay Plan benefits, or both, as the case may be, concerning payments in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The Committee shall maintain all Plan records except records of any trust. The Committee shall publish, file, or disclose -- or cause to be published, filed, or disclosed -- all reports and disclosures required by federal or state laws. The Committee may authorize one or more of its members or agents to sign instructions, notices, and determinations on its behalf.
(c)    Organization of Committee. The Committee shall adopt such rules as it deems desirable for the conduct of its affairs and for the administration of the Plan. It may appoint agents (who need not be members of the Committee) to whom it may delegate such powers as it deems appropriate, except that any dispute shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may make its determinations with or without meetings. It may authorize one or more of its members or agents to sign instructions, notices, and determinations on its behalf. If a Committee decision or action affects a relatively small percentage of Plan Participants including a Committee member, such Committee member will not participate in the Committee decision or action. The action of a majority of the disinterested Committee members constitutes the action of the Committee.
(d)    Indemnification. The Committee and all of the agents and representatives of the Committee shall be indemnified and saved harmless by the Company against any claims, and the expenses of defending against such claims, resulting from any action or conduct relating to the administration of the Plan, except claims judicially determined to be attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e)    Agent for Process. The Company’s Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary shall be the agents of the Plan for service of all process.
(f)    Determination of Committee Final. The decisions made by the Committee are final and conclusive on all persons.
(g)    No Bonding. Neither the Committee nor any committee member is required to give any bond or other security in any jurisdiction in connection with the administration of the Plan, unless the Company determines otherwise before a Change of Control or any applicable federal or state law so requires.
Section 5.    Terms of Plan; Termination.
This Plan is terminable at any time by the majority vote of the Incumbent Board upon six months’ prior written notice delivered to all Employees, provided that the Company or its successor shall be prohibited from terminating the plan, or delivering notice of termination of the Plan, after or within six months prior to a Change of Control.
Section 6.    Amendment.
This Plan can be amended at any time by the Company on the following conditions:

- 13 -

(a)    No amendment shall be adopted by the Company or its successor subsequent to the Effective Date, except to alleviate any material negative tax consequences to one or more actual or expected recipients of Plan benefits.
(b)    Immediately after adopting any amendment, the Company shall provide to Employees a written statement of this Plan, as amended, and no amendments shall be effective as to any Employee, until the Employee has received the statement. An Employee will be deemed to have received the written statement of the Plan if it is delivered in person or after 48 hours of dispatch by mail or other suitable means of delivery to the last known address of the Employee.
Section 7.    Other Plans and Contracts.
It is the intention of the Company that the benefits provided for in this Plan are in addition to, and not in lieu of any other rights, privileges or benefits to which the Employee may now or hereafter be entitled under any contract, arrangement, plan or other policy applicable to any Employee with the Company or any other employer, except the benefits suspended under the Company’s Termination Policy during the Benefit Period under this Plan.
Section 8.    Claims Procedure.
(a)    General. Each claim for benefits will be processed in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. The procedures will comply with the guidelines specified in this section. Claims for reimbursement under the medical, dental, and vision plans, the employee assistance program, and claims for life insurance shall be determined under the procedures specified in those plans; however, this Plan’s procedures shall determine eligibility for continued participation in such plans. The Committee may delegate its duties under this section.
(b)    Representatives. A claimant may appoint a representative to act on his or her behalf. The Plan will only recognize a representative if the Plan has received a written authorization signed by the claimant and on a form prescribed by the Committee, with the following exceptions. The Plan will recognize a claimant’s legal representative, once the Plan is provided with documentation of such representation. If the claimant is a minor child, the Plan will recognize the claimant’s parent or guardian as the claimant’s representative. Once an authorized representative is appointed, the Plan will direct all information and notification regarding the claim to the authorized representative and the claimant will be copied on all notifications regarding decisions, unless the claimant provides specific written direction otherwise.
(c)    Extension of Deadlines. The claimant may agree to an extension of any deadline that is mentioned in this section that applies to the Plan. The Committee or the relevant decision-maker may agree to an extension of any deadline that is mentioned in this section that applies to the claimant.
(d)    Fees. The Plan may not charge any fees to a claimant for utilizing the claims process described in this section.
(e)    Filing a Claim. A claim is made when the claimant files a claim in accordance with the procedures specified by the Committee. Any communication regarding benefits that is not made in accordance with the Plan’s procedures will not be treated as a claim.

- 14 -

(f)    Initial Claims Decision. The Plan will decide a claim within a reasonable time up to 90 days after receiving the claim. The Plan will have a 90-day extension, but only if the Plan is unable to decide within 90 days for reasons beyond its control, the Plan notifies the claimant of the special circumstances requiring the need for the extension by the 90th day after receiving the claim, and the Plan notifies the claimant of the date by which the Plan expects to make a decision.
(g)    Notification of Initial Decision. The Plan will provide the claimant with written notification of the Plan’s full or partial denial of a claim, reduction of a previously approved benefit, or termination of a benefit. The notification will include a statement of the reason(s) for the decision; references to the plan provision(s) on which the decision was based; a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and why such information is needed; a description of the procedures and deadlines for appeal; a description of the right to obtain information about the appeal procedures; and a statement of the claimant’s right to sue.
(h)    Appeal. The claimant may appeal any adverse or partially adverse decision. To appeal, the claimant must follow the procedures specified by the Committee. The appeal must be filed within 60 days of the date the claimant received notice of the initial decision. If the appeal is not timely and properly filed, the initial decision will be the final decision of the Plan. The claimant may submit documents, written comments, and other information in support of the appeal. The claimant will be given reasonable access at no charge to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other relevant information.
(i)    Appellate Decision. The Plan will decide the appeal of a claim within a reasonable time of no more than 60 days from the date the Plan receives the claimant’s appeal. The 60-day deadline will be extended by an additional 60 days, but only if the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension, the Plan notifies the claimant of the special circumstances requiring the need for the extension by the 60th day after receiving the appeal, and the Plan notifies the claimant of the date by which the Plan expects to make a decision. If an appeal is missing any information from the claimant that is needed to decide the appeal, the Plan will notify the claimant of the missing information and grant the claimant a reasonable period to provide the missing information. If the missing information is not timely provided, the Plan will deny the claim. If the missing information is timely provided, the 60-day deadline (or 120-day deadline with the extension) for the Plan to make its decision will be increased by the length of time between the date the Plan requested the missing information and the date the Plan received it.
(j)    Notification of Decision. The Plan will provide the claimant with written notification of the Plan’s appellate decision (positive or adverse). The notification of any adverse or partially adverse decision must include a statement of the reason(s) for the decision; reference to the plan provision(s) on which the decision was based; a description of the procedures and deadlines for a second appeal, if any; a description of the right to obtain information about the second-appeal procedures; a statement of the claimant’s right to sue; and a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, free of charge and upon request, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim.
(k)    Arbitration. The claimant and the Plan may voluntarily enter into a binding arbitration to resolve any claim, in which case (i) the Plan and/or Company pays all the arbitration fees and costs, (ii) the Plan agrees that any statute of limitations or other defense based on timeliness is tolled during the time between the date the claimant completes and submits the forms that begin the arbitration process and the date of the arbitrator’s decision (which will only apply if the claimant

files suit after receiving an adverse decision from the arbitrator), and (iii) the Plan provides the claimant, upon request, sufficient information relating to the arbitration to enable the claimant to make an informed judgment about whether to submit the dispute to arbitration, including a statement that the claimant’s decision to choose or not choose arbitration will have no effect on the claimant’s rights to any other benefits under the Plan, and information about the applicable rules, the claimant’s right to representation, the process for selecting the arbitrator, and the circumstances, if any, that may affect the arbitrator’s impartiality.
Section 9.    Distributions Due Infants or Incompetents.
If any person entitled to a distribution under the Plan is an infant, or if the Committee determines that any such person is incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, whether or not legally adjudicated as incompetent, the Committee has the power to cause the distributions becoming due to such person to be made to another for his or her benefit, without responsibility of the Committee to see to the application of such distributions. Distributions made pursuant to such power will operate as a complete discharge of the Company, the trustee, the Plan, and the Committee.
Section 10.    Use and Form of Words.
When any words are used herein in the masculine gender, they are to be construed as though they were also used in the feminine gender in all cases where they would so apply, and vice versa. Whenever any words are used herein in the singular form, they are to be construed as though they were also used in the plural form in all cases where they would so apply, and vice versa.
Section 11.    Inalienability of Benefits.
Except for disclaimers under Section 3(f)(v), no Participant or Beneficiary has the right to assign, alienate, pledge, transfer, hypothecate, encumber, or anticipate his or her interest in any benefits under the Plan, nor are the benefits subject to garnishment by any creditor, nor may the benefits under the Plan be levied upon or attached. The preceding sentence does not apply to the enforcement of a federal tax levy made pursuant to Code §6331, the collection by the United States on a judgment resulting from an unpaid tax assessment, or any debt or obligation that is permitted to be collected from the Plan under federal law (such as the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act of 1977).
Section 12.    Applicable Law.
This Plan shall be interpreted to have been made in the State of Texas and the laws of the State of Texas shall control.
Dated July 29, 2019, effective as of the 2019 Restatement Date.
