R E C I T A L S

A. Each of the Existing Property Owners is the owner of the fee simple or leasehold interest in the real property next to its name on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, each of which properties are more particularly described on Exhibits “A-1-1” through “A-1-12” attached hereto (collectively, the “Existing Properties” and each, an “Existing Property”). Each of the Development Property Owners is the owner of the fee simple or leasehold interest in the real property next to its name on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, each of which properties are more particularly described on Exhibits “A-2-1” through “A-2-6” attached hereto (collectively, the “Development Properties” and each, a “Development Property”).

B. The Existing Properties and the Development Properties, together with the “Improvements,” the balance of the “Real Property,” the “Personal Property” and the “Intangible Property” (each as hereinafter defined), are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Properties.” Each Existing Property together with its related Improvements, Real Property, Personal Property and Intangible Property, and each Development Property together with its related Improvements, Real Property, Personal Property and Intangible Property, is sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Property.”

C. In the case of each Property Contribution, in exchange for “OP Units” (as hereinafter defined), cash or a combination thereof, each Property Transferor desires to transfer, contribute and convey its respective Property to a newly formed, single asset Delaware limited liability company (each, a “New Property Owning Entity” and, collectively, the “New Property Owning Entities”) that shall be owned by the Operating Partnership as described herein. In the case of each Investment Entity Transaction, certain partners and/or members of the applicable Investment Entity Transferor desire to retain their interests in such Investment Entity Transferor (each such partner and/or member, a “Continuing Transferor Party” and, collectively, the “Continuing Transferor Parties”), while other members of such entity desire to transfer their interests therein to the Operating Partnership as described herein. To accommodate such desire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each such Investment Entity Transferor desires (i) to transfer, contribute and convey its respective Property to a newly formed single asset Delaware limited liability company (each, an “Investment Entity” and, collectively, the “Investment Entities”) in exchange for membership interests in such Investment Entity (collectively, the “Investment Interests”), (ii) to distribute such Investment Interests to each of its partners and/or members (other than the Continuing Transferor Parties) in redemption of each such partner’s and/or member’s interest in the Investment Entity Transferor (each such redeeming partner and/or member, an “Entity Transferor Party” and, collectively, the “Entity Transferor Parties”), and (iii) to cause each such Entity Transferor Party to transfer, contribute and convey its respective new Investment Interests to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, cash or a combination thereof. After each Property Contribution and Investment Entity Transaction, all of the “Property Owning Entities” (as hereinafter defined) shall be controlled by a newly formed Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), which shall be formed by NHP or its affiliate in accordance with the terms

hereof. Transferee desires to accept, or cause the acceptance of, such contributions in exchange for such consideration upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

D. PMB LLC is the holder of a ninety-nine and nine-tenths percent (99.9%) membership interest in PMB Real Estate Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PMBRES”). Concurrently herewith, PMB LLC and NHP are entering into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (PMBRES) (the “PMBRES Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) PMB LLC will transfer to NHP (or its subsidiary) a fifty percent (50%) membership interest in PMBRES and (ii) the parties will amend and restate the operating agreement of PMBRES to reflect, among other things, the admission of NHP or its affiliate as a member of PMBRES.

E. PMB LLC desires to cause its affiliate and PMBRES to enter into, and NHP desires to enter into and to cause the Operating Partnership to enter into, the “Pipeline Property Agreement” (as hereinafter defined) with respect to certain obligations concerning the “Pipeline Properties” (as defined therein), upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

F. PMB LLC and Transferee further desire to cause to be executed the “Property Management Agreement” (as hereinafter defined) regarding the engagement of PMBRES to provide certain asset management and property management services with respect to certain properties, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

G. PMB LLC and Transferee, among others, further desire to enter into a letter agreement (the “Tax Letter Agreement”) relating to certain tax protections in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

H. In the case of each Property Contribution, for income tax purposes, the parties hereto intend and agree that each of the transactions associated with such Property Contribution contemplated by this Agreement constitutes an “assets-over” partnership merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i), and, as a result, that (i) the payment of cash in excess of the “Cap-Ex Amount” (as hereinafter defined), if any, to any “Cash Recipient” (as hereinafter defined) be treated as a sale of such Cash Recipient’s interests in the Property Transferor and a purchase of such interests by the Operating Partnership for the cash so paid under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the Operating Partnership shall be treated as acquiring the portion of the Property attributable to such interests in the Property Transferor in redemption of such interest, in each case, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4).

I. In the case of each Investment Entity Transaction, for income tax purposes, the parties intend that the transfer of the Investment Interests by the Entity Transferor Parties to the Operating Partnership constitute (i) a contribution pursuant to Section 721 of the “Code” (as hereinafter defined) to the extent of the OP Units received by the “OP Unit Recipients” (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) a sale to the extent of the “Cash Amount” (as hereinafter defined) received by the Cash Recipients.

A G R E E M E N T

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Transferee, PMB LLC and Transferors hereby agree, and instruct Escrow Agent, as follows:

1. TRANSFER, CONTRIBUTION AND CONVEYANCE.

1.1 Contributions by Property Transferors. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the direction of the Operating Partnership, each Property Transferor agrees to transfer, contribute and convey to a New Property Owning Entity, and NHP agrees to cause the Operating Partnership to cause such New Property Owning Entity to accept from each Property Transferor, such Property Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Property owned or leased by such Property Transferor, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (each, a “Property Contribution” and, collectively, the “Property Contributions”).

1.2 Contributions by Investment Entity Transferors. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investment Entity Transferor agrees to: (a) transfer, contribute and convey its respective Property to an Investment Entity in exchange for Investment Interests; (b) distribute such Investment Interests to each Entity Transferor Party in redemption of each such Entity Transferor Party’s interest in the Investment Entity Transferor; and (c) cause each of its respective Entity Transferor Parties to transfer, contribute and convey each of their respective right, title and interest in and to the Investment Interests owned by such Entity Transferor Parties to the Operating Partnership, and NHP agrees to cause the Operating Partnership to accept from each Entity Transferor Party such Investment Interests upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (each, an “Investment Entity Transaction”). An Investment Entity Transaction or a Property Contribution may sometimes be referred to herein as a “Contribution Transaction”, and collectively, as the “Contribution Transactions.” A New Property Owning Entity or an Investment Entity may sometimes be referred to herein as a “Property Owning Entity”, and collectively, as the “Property Owning Entities.” Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that any Continuing Transferor Party in an Investment Entity Transaction contributed appreciated real property to the applicable Transferor, the parties agree to cooperate to effectuate the transfer steps set forth on Exhibit “B-1” attached hereto in lieu of the transfer steps outlined herein to otherwise effect an Investment Entity Transaction (an “Alternative Entity Transaction”); provided, however that all other requirements relating to such Investment Entity Transaction contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the “Investment Entity Requirements” (as hereinafter defined)) that do no conflict with the terms of Exhibit “B-1” attached hereto shall remain required and in full force and effect.

2. CONTRIBUTION VALUE.

2.1 Contribution Values.

2.1.1 Contribution Value Defined. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.1.1 and Section 2.2(b) hereof, the contribution value of each Property for a Contribution Transaction (the “Contribution Value”) will be determined as of its applicable “Closing Date” (as hereinafter defined) by dividing the projected “Net Operating Income” (as hereinafter defined) for such Property by such Property’s “Cap Rate” as set forth on Exhibit “B-2” attached hereto (the “Original Cap Rate Adjustment”), subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, and subject to a deduction for the sum of the following amounts (which shall be credits against such Contribution Value): (a) the outstanding balance (i.e., principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts otherwise then due and payable other than those otherwise allocated hereunder) of the “Loan Obligations” (as hereinafter defined) applicable to such Property as of the applicable Closing Date; (b) the “Property Tax Reserve Amount” (as hereinafter defined) with respect to such Property, if any, to the extent funded by the Transferee in accordance with Section 2.3(d) hereof; (c) the “Proration Reserve Amount” (as hereinafter defined) with respect to such Property, to the extent funded by the Transferee in accordance with the terms of Section 7.5.1(b) hereof; (d) an amount equal to the “Reimbursable Closing Costs” (as defined in Section 7.6(e) hereof) with respect to such Property; (e) to the extent that PMB LLC has delivered the “Transferor Loan Payoff Costs Notice” (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with Section 6.5 hereof with respect to such Property, the “Transferor Loan Payoff Costs” (as hereinafter defined) applicable to such Property, if any; (f) to the extent that PMB LLC has delivered the “Legal Fees and Costs Notice” (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with Section 16.5 hereof with respect to such Property, the “Reimbursable Legal Fees and Costs Amount” (as hereinafter defined) applicable to such Property, if any; and (g) the “Credit Amount” (as hereinafter defined) for such Property. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Contribution Value for each Property shall be increased by the aggregate amount of all escrow accounts, reserves and similar amounts maintained by the Transferor of such Property (or its affiliates) with or for the benefit of any lender in connection with the Loan Obligations for such Property (all in accordance with the terms of Section 7.5.1(a) hereof) to the extent that such escrow accounts, reserves or similar amounts (or the rights thereto) are transferred to Transferee or the applicable Property Owning Entity at the applicable Closing and shall be further adjusted, at NHP’s election, to account for any reimbursements required pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.4 hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.1.1 or Exhibit “B-2” attached hereto to the contrary, the agreed upon Contribution Value for each Existing Property shall be as set forth on Exhibit “B-2” attached hereto, subject to adjustments as hereinafter provided, and subject to a deduction for the sum of the amounts described in clauses (a) through (g) above.

2.1.2 Net Operating Income Defined. As used herein, the term “Net Operating Income” shall mean, (a) with respect to each Existing Property, the agreed upon net operating income amounts specified on Exhibit “B-2” attached hereto, and (b) with respect to each Development Property, the amount by which (i) the revenues

 

5


projected to be received from the operation and/or leasing of such Property or any portion thereof (excluding proceeds from any capital event) for the twelve (12) full calendar month period following the calendar month in which the applicable “Completion Notice” (as hereinafter defined) is delivered (the “Post-Closing Period”) (based on executed leases with tenants not in default and with respect to which no action or proceeding shall have been commenced under the federal bankruptcy code or any state law for the relief of debtors or for the enforcement of the rights of creditors and no attachment, execution, lien or levy shall have attached to or been issued with respect to such tenant’s interest in the Property or any portion thereof) exceeds (ii) the operating expenses, forecasted real estate taxes and ground rent projected to be paid or incurred with respect to the Property that would be paid for such Post-Closing Period; provided, however, that the term “Net Operating Income” for each Development Property shall be net of (A) a deduction for a general operating reserve equal to Twenty Cents ($0.20) per rentable square foot of medical office building space for such Development Property and (B) an allowance for bad debt expenses, which shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (consistently applied) and based on actual prior experience; and provided further, however, that the term “Net Operating Income” for each Development Property shall take into account all revenues earned with respect to parking operations at such Property (“Parking Revenues”), which shall be valued for the Post-Closing Period based upon the Parking Revenues actually collected for the three (3) month period ending on the date such Property’s Completion Notice is delivered net of any un-reimbursed expenses and maintenance reserves (to the extent not passed through to tenants). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Transferor demonstrates to Transferee’s reasonable satisfaction that the Parking Revenues for a Development Property are subject to seasonality or planned rate increases, then such seasonality or planned rate increases shall be considered for purposes of projecting such Parking Revenues for the Post-Closing Period.

2.2 Contribution Value Adjustments.

(a) Contribution Value Adjustments for REIT Index. In the event that the “Closing” (as hereinafter defined) of any Property will occur on a date that is more than three (3) months after the first Closing Date of any of the Existing Properties, then the following provisions shall apply: (i) if the trailing twenty (20) day average rate for the JPMorgan JULI BBB 7-10 REIT Index as of the fifth (5th) “Business Day” (as hereinafter defined) prior to the applicable Closing Date of such Property (the “JPM REIT Rate”) is seven and twelve-hundredths percent (7.12%) or higher, then the Contribution Value calculated with respect to such Property pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, shall be adjusted by increasing the “Cap Rate Adjustment” (as hereinafter defined) used in determining such value by one (1) basis point for each basis point by which the JPM REIT Rate exceeds seven and twelve-hundredths percent (7.12%), up to a maximum of twenty-two (22) basis points; (ii) if the JPM REIT Rate is less than seven and twelve-hundredths percent (7.12%), then the Cap Rate Adjustment shall not be adjusted and the Contribution Value of such Property shall be calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof; and (iii) if the JPM REIT Rate is greater than seven and thirty-four-hundredths percent (7.34%), then NHP shall have the option (A) of completing the Contribution Transaction with respect to the Property at a Contribution Value adjusted

 

6


pursuant to clause (i) above, or (B) at NHP’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion (and upon delivery of written notice by NHP to the respective Transferor and Escrow Agent), of excluding such Property from the terms of this Agreement and releasing all of NHP’s, the Operating Partnership’s, any New Property Owning Entity’s and any of their affiliates’ interest, if any, with respect to such Property, provided that the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and not be affected thereby. By way of example (and without limiting the foregoing): (1) if the Cap Rate Adjustment for a Property is 6.00% and the JPM REIT Rate is at 7.15% as of the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date of such Property, then the Cap Rate Adjustment for such Property would be increased by three (3) basis points to 6.03% without any right of termination by any party; and (2) if the Cap Rate Adjustment for such Property is 6.00% and the JPM REIT Rate is at 7.40% as of the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date of such Property, then the Cap Rate Adjustment for such Property would be increased to (and capped at) 6.22% and NHP would have the right to elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (x) acquire such Property based on the 6.22% Cap Rate Adjustment or (y) terminate the portion of this Agreement relating to such Property (and not acquire such Property); provided that if NHP elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to any Property pursuant to this Section 2.2, NHP acknowledges and agrees that NHP, the Operating Partnership, any New Property Owning Entity and any affiliate of any of them shall have no further rights, including without limitation, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal or other similar rights, with respect to such terminated Property including any rights pursuant to the Pipeline Property Agreement with respect thereto. As used herein, the term “Cap Rate Adjustment” shall mean either the applicable Original Cap Rate Adjustment or the applicable “Revised Cap Rate Adjustment” (as hereinafter defined), that is in effect for the applicable Property at the time of determination pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof.

(b) Contribution Value Adjustments for Portfolio Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Contribution Value to be paid with respect to each Property shall be adjusted (in addition to all other adjustments under this Agreement) as follows:

(i) Failure to Close. If this Agreement is terminated with respect to any Property (and the Closing of the Contribution Transaction for such Property fails to occur) for any reason, then the parties promptly shall adjust proportionately the Original Cap Rate Adjustment for each of the other Properties for which a Closing has occurred or remains expected to occur (collectively, such other Properties being hereinafter referred to as the “Remaining Properties” and each, a “Remaining Property”) so that the weighted average NOI cap rate for all Remaining Properties shall always equal five and ninety-eight hundredths percent (5.98%) (with respect to each Remaining Property, as so adjusted, the “Revised Cap Rate Adjustment” and, the date of any such adjustments being hereinafter referred to as a “Cap Rate Adjustment Date”). If the Closing of a Contribution Transaction with respect to any Remaining Property has already occurred as of a Cap Rate Adjustment Date, then (A) the Contribution Value of such Remaining Property shall be recalculated as of the Closing Date of such Contribution Transaction assuming that the Original Cap Rate Adjustment for such Remaining

 

7


Property (as and to the extent previously adjusted hereunder) equaled the Revised Cap Rate Adjustment for such Remaining Property on such Closing Date, and (B) to the extent that the recalculated Contribution Value exceeds the Contribution Value that was previously paid for such Remaining Property, Transferee shall, on or before five (5) Business Days after written demand, deliver such excess, together with interest thereon, at the rate then being earned by Transferee on its cash deposits, for the period from the applicable Closing Date to the date of payment thereof, to PMB LLC (on behalf of PMB LLC and the applicable “Transferor Parties” (as hereinafter defined)) in the form of OP Units and/or cash (in the same proportion as such Transferor Parties’ “Allocable Share” (as hereinafter defined) and for the benefit of the same parties as the OP Units and/or cash payments that were delivered on the applicable Closing Date); provided, however, that if such Contribution Transaction was an Investment Entity Transaction, then such excess, together with interest thereon, at the rate then being earned by Transferee on its cash deposits, for the period from the applicable Closing Date to the date of payment thereof, shall (1) with respect to the applicable Transferor Parties that received cash and/or OP Units, be paid by Transferee to PMB LLC (on behalf of PMB LLC and such Transferor Parties) in the form of OP Units and/or cash (in the same proportion as such Transferor Parties’ Allocable Share and for the benefit of the same parties as the OP Units and/or cash payments that were delivered on the applicable Closing Date), and (2) with respect to the applicable Investment Entity Transferor, be delivered by re-computing and adjusting such Investment Entity Transferor’s percentage interest in the Investment Entity to equal the “Investment Entity Transferor Allocable Share” (as hereinafter defined) that would have been calculated on the Closing Date of such Investment Entity Transaction based upon the recalculated Contribution Value. If the Closing of a Contribution Transaction with respect to any Remaining Property has not occurred as of a Cap Rate Adjustment Date, then upon the Closing of the Contribution Transaction with respect to such Remaining Property, the Contribution Value of such Remaining Property shall be calculated using the Revised Cap Rate Adjustment instead of the Original Cap Rate Adjustment for such Remaining Property. A sample calculation is set forth on Exhibit “B-3” attached hereto.

(ii) Earn Outs. If the Closing of the Contribution Transaction with respect to any Existing Property occurs prior to the Closing of the Contribution Transaction with respect to any other Existing Property, then the Contribution Value for each Existing Property that closes prior to the last Closing of all of the Existing Properties shall be paid and calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2(b)(i) hereof and as if this Agreement had been terminated with respect to all of the “Premium Properties” (as hereinafter defined) for which Closings have not yet then occurred. As used herein, the term “Premium Properties” shall mean, collectively, all of the Existing Properties other than the Property owned by Clarita LLC. In such event, the parties agree that upon the last Closing of all of the Existing Properties (or the termination of this Agreement with respect to the last of the Premium Properties that have not yet closed), the Contribution Value for each Existing Property that previously closed shall be

 

8


recalculated as of the Closing of the Contribution Transaction for such Existing Property in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2(b)(i) hereof and Transferee shall pay or deliver the amount by which such recalculated Contribution Value for such Existing Property exceeds the Contribution Value previously paid for such Existing Property as provided above.

2.3 Consideration. With respect to the applicable Closing of each Contribution Transaction, the Contribution Value shall be payable at such Closing (except as otherwise described herein) as follows:

(a) Notices. With respect to the Existing Property leased by Terrace LLC and the Existing Property leased by Washoe LLC, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Closing Date for their respective Contribution Transaction, the applicable Transferor shall deliver to NHP a notice, which shall specify whether such Transferor will engage in a Property Contribution or an Investment Entity Transaction. All other Existing Properties must participate in Property Contributions. With respect to each Development Property, the Transferor of the applicable Development Property shall deliver to NHP as part of its Completion Notice, its election specifying whether such Transferor will engage in a Property Contribution or an Investment Entity Transaction. In addition, with respect to each Property, on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the applicable Closing Date for a particular Contribution Transaction, the Transferor of the applicable Property shall deliver to NHP a notice (a “Notice”), which Notice shall specify the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below, as applicable.

(i) If a Transferor elects or is required to engage in a Property Contribution, its Notice shall (A) identify the names of the parties that are or, at the applicable Closing, will be members or partners of such Transferor or their respective designees (each, a “Property Transferor Party” and collectively, the “Property Transferor Parties”), (B) indicate the percentage of the Contribution Value for the Property owned or leased by such Transferor that is allocable to each such Property Transferor Party (which percentage shall, with respect to each Property Transferor Party be hereinafter referred to as a “Property Transferor Allocable Share”) and (C) with respect to each Property Transferor Allocable Share for such Property, identify (1) the percentage to be payable in cash (a “Cash Portion” and, aggregated together with all of the other Cash Portions, the “Cash Amount”) for such Property and the percentage to be treated as the Cap-Ex Amount, and (2) the percentage to be payable in “OP Units” (as hereinafter defined) for such Property (collectively, when aggregated together with the amount payable in OP Units for all Properties, the “OP Unit Portion”).

(ii) If a Transferor elects to engage in an Investment Entity Transaction (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.3), its Notice shall (A) identify the names of the parties that are or, at the applicable Closing, will be members or partners of such Transferor or their respective designees and which of

 

9


the same shall be Continuing Transferor Parties rather than Entity Transferor Parties, (B) include a representation from PMB LLC and the Transferor that the identified Continuing Transferor Parties and Entity Transferor Parties are all of the “Investors” (as hereinafter defined) with respect to such Transferor, (C) indicate the percentage of the Contribution Value for the Property owned or leased by such Transferor that is allocable to each such Entity Transferor Party (which percentage shall, with respect to each Entity Transferor Party be hereinafter referred to as an “Entity Transferor Party Allocable Share”) and the percentage of such Contribution Value that will not be paid, but which will be attributed to the interests retained by the applicable Investment Entity Transferor in the Investment Entity, and indirectly held by such Continuing Transferor Parties (through their retained interest in such Investment Entity Transferor) (which percentage shall, with respect to such Investment Entity Transferor be hereinafter referred to as the “Investment Entity Transferor Allocable Share” and shall also be the percentage ownership that such Investment Entity Transferor shall own in the applicable Investment Entity following the Closing of the applicable Investment Entity Transaction), subject to adjustment following such Closing as provided in Section 2.2(b)(i) hereof, and (D) with respect to each such Entity Transferor Party Allocable Share for such Property, identify (1) the percentage constituting the Cash Portion, and (2) the percentage constituting the OP Unit Portion. A Property Transferor Party Allocable Share, Entity Transferor Party Allocable Share and Investment Entity Transferor Allocable Share shall sometimes be referred to herein with respect to any such party as an “Allocable Share.”

(iii) A Property Transferor Party or an Entity Transferor Party may sometimes be referred to herein as a “Transferor Party” and, collectively, as the “Transferor Parties.” Each entity which, or person who, is identified in any Notice as a party who is to receive (A) OP Units shall hereinafter be referred to as an “OP Unit Recipient,” and collectively such parties shall hereinafter be referred to as the “OP Unit Recipients” and (B) all or a portion of the Cash Amount shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Cash Recipient,” and collectively such parties shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Cash Recipients.”

(b) Delivery of OP Units and Cash. At the applicable Closing of each Contribution Transaction, Transferee shall cause (i) to be issued to each of the OP Unit Recipients for such Property, if any, OP Units equal in value (as determined in accordance with this Section 2.3(b)) to the OP Unit Portion attributable to the Allocable Share of such OP Unit Recipient, as identified in the Notice for such Property, and (ii) to be paid to each of the Cash Recipients for such Property, if any, the Cash Portion attributable to the Allocable Share of such Cash Recipient in cash by wire transfer of federal funds, as identified in the Notice for such Property. As used herein, the term “OP Units” shall mean Class A Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership. The number of OP Units which the OP Unit Recipients shall receive on account of the OP Unit

 

10


Portion of the Contribution Value shall be determined for each Closing Date by dividing the OP Unit Portion by the average closing price per share of Common Stock of NHP (the “Common Stock”) for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the fifth (5th) trading day prior to such Closing Date; provided, however, that in calculating such average, each closing price shall be multiplied by the “Adjustment Factor” (as hereinafter defined) then in effect for each applicable closing price date; provided further, however, that with respect to any Closing occurring prior to December 31, 2008, (A) in the event that the average price per share of the Common Stock as determined above shall be less than Twenty-Nine Dollars ($29.00), multiplied by the Adjustment Factor in effect on the last of such twenty (20) consecutive trading days (the product of such multiplied amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Floor Price”), then notwithstanding the foregoing, the price of the Common Stock for all purposes under this Section 2.3(b) shall be deemed to be the Floor Price, and (B) in the event that the average price per share of the Common Stock as determined above shall be more than Thirty-Three Dollars ($33.00), multiplied by the Adjustment Factor in effect on the last of such twenty (20) consecutive trading days (the product of such multiplied amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Ceiling Price”), then notwithstanding the foregoing, the price of the Common Stock for all purposes under this Section 2.3(b) shall be deemed to be the Ceiling Price. As used herein, the term “Adjustment Factor” has the meaning set forth in the “Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement” (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at least forty percent (40%) of the aggregate Contribution Value with respect to all of the Existing Properties must be paid by Transferee in OP Units, and accordingly, the Notices delivered by the Existing Property Owners must provide, in the aggregate, for the same unless otherwise agreed to in writing by NHP and the Operating Partnership (in each of their sole and absolute discretion) prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Existing Properties leased by Liliha LP and Washoe LLC, (x) if the applicable Transferor elects to (and is permitted to) engage in an Investment Entity Transaction, one hundred percent (100%) of the Allocable Share of each Entity Transferor Party shall be payable in cash only and shall not be payable in OP Units, and (y) if the applicable Transferor elects to engage in a Property Contribution, one hundred percent (100%) of the Allocable Share of each Property Transferor Party shall be paid in cash only and shall not be paid in OP Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if NHP reasonably determines that any person or entity identified in a Notice as a proposed Transferor Party is not an “Accredited Investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the “Act” (as hereinafter defined)), then Transferee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver cash, in lieu of OP Units, to such person or entity.

(c) Contribution of Investment Entity Interests. To the extent that the Investment Entity Requirements are satisfied for the Existing Property leased by Terrace LLC, the Existing Property leased by Washoe LLC or any Development Property, then the Transferor of such Property may elect to be an Investment Entity Transferor by notifying Transferee of such election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3(a) hereof and by complying with each of the following requirements: (i) contributing such Property and certain liabilities associated with such Property, which shall be limited to the liabilities specified on Exhibit “C-1” attached hereto (the

 

11


Permitted Entity Liabilities”), to its newly formed Investment Entity in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of such Investment Entity’s Investment Interests; (ii) immediately prior to the applicable Closing for such Property, distributing Investment Interests to its respective Entity Transferor Parties in proportion to their respective interests in such Investment Entity Transferor and in redemption of each such Entity Transferor Parties’ interest in such Investment Entity Transferor (so that after the distribution, the applicable Entity Transferor Parties shall directly hold Investment Interests in proportion to their respective Allocable Share of the applicable Investment Entity Transferor and such Investment Entity Transferor shall directly hold Investment Interests in proportion to its applicable Allocable Share); and (iii) at the applicable Closing, causing each Entity Transferor Party to transfer, contribute and convey all of its respective Investment Interests to the Operating Partnership by delivering a fully executed assignment of such interests in the form of Exhibit “C-2” attached hereto (the “Assignment of Entity Interests”) in exchange for OP Units, cash or a combination thereof, as specified in the applicable Notice (subject to the requirements of Section 2.3(b) hereof and this Section 2.3(c)). As used herein, the term “Investment Entity Requirements” shall mean that each of the following conditions for a particular Property have been satisfied prior to the applicable Closing: (1) the applicable Transferor shall have provided each holder of interests in such Transferor other than such holders as are affiliates of PMB LLC (collectively, the non-affiliate holders of interests in any Transferor being hereinafter referred to as the “Investors”) with the option to elect to receive cash, OP Units or a combination thereof in consideration of its interests in Transferor; (2) Investors holding interests which entitle them to an aggregate Allocable Share totaling at least ten percent (10%) of the Contribution Value of such Property shall elect not to receive cash or OP Units as consideration for their interests (and thus elect to become Continuing Transferor Parties); (3) after giving effect to the transactions contemplated to occur at the applicable Closing, no Transferor may continue to own more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the interests of an Investment Entity, except that Orange LLC may own up to thirty-five percent (35%) of the interests in the applicable Investment Entity and Pomerado LLC may own up to forty-five percent (45%) of the interests in the applicable Investment Entity; (4) the applicable Transferor must be a Development Property Owner (except that Terrace LLC and Washoe LLC (both Existing Property Owners) may elect to become Investment Entity Transferors, and NHP and PMB LLC may (but shall not be obligated to) mutually and reasonably agree to allow each of the same to own a greater interest in the applicable Investment Entity than specified in clause (3) above); (5) the existing operating agreement for such Investment Entity Transferor shall have been amended and restated so that it provides that PMB LLC (or another entity reasonably acceptable to NHP) is the sole managing member with the sole authority to control and make day-to-day decisions for such Investment Entity Transferor, subject to the non-managing members’ consent rights with respect to major decisions consistent with the terms of the existing operating agreement governing the applicable Investment Entity Transferor, and that such provisions shall not be amended without the prior written consent of NHP for so long as the Investment Entity Transferor continues to hold any interest in such Investment Entity (and NHP shall have the opportunity to review such amended and restated operating agreement to insure that it complies with the foregoing requirement), and as between PMB LLC and NHP and/or the Operating Partnership, at all times, the Investment Entity Transferor shall be responsible

 

12


for all costs of maintaining and administering itself, which covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing of each applicable Property; and (6) PMB LLC shall have formed an Investment Entity in accordance with Section 4.3.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(c), the parties acknowledge and agree to the extent applicable in connection with an Investment Entity Transaction to cooperate to effect the same as an Alternative Entity Transaction as provided in Section 1.2 hereof.

(d) Real Property Tax Reserves. The parties have agreed that increases in the real property taxes for the Properties directly attributable to the transactions contemplated herein (the “Prop 13 Tax Increases”) shall not be immediately passed through to (and payable or reimbursable by) the “Non-Protected Tenants” (as hereinafter defined) of such Property for the tax year during which such Prop 13 Tax Increases are imposed, but rather that such Prop 13 Tax Increases will be phased in over a period of time (not to exceed three (3) years), as set forth on Exhibit “D” attached hereto with respect to the Existing Properties. The parties acknowledge and agree that, concurrently with the delivery of each Completion Notice, the applicable Transferor shall provide Transferee with a supplement to Exhibit “D” attached hereto identifying the Prop 13 Tax Increases and phase in period (not to exceed three (3) years) for the applicable Development Property. Accordingly, upon the Closing of each of the Properties, NHP shall cause a reserve account held by the Operating Partnership to be established, which shall be funded with cash in an amount that is sufficient to cover the difference between the amount of such estimated Prop 13 Tax Increases that will be passed through to the Non-Protected Tenants of such Property for the relevant period and the estimated total amount of such Prop 13 Tax Increases for the relevant period set forth on Exhibit “D” attached hereto. Such reserve shall, at PMB LLC’s or each Transferor’s option, either be funded at the applicable Closing of such applicable Property in cash by PMB LLC (or the applicable Transferor) or by Transferee. To the extent funded by Transferee, the amount funded by Transferee (the “Property Tax Reserve Amount”) will reduce (and be treated as a credit against) such Property’s Contribution Value in accordance with Section 2.1.1 hereof. The cash in such reserves shall be disbursed by the Operating Partnership to the applicable Property Owning Entity within thirty (30) days of receiving a written request from such Property Owning Entity to pay that portion of such Prop 13 Tax Increases that are then due and payable, which the parties have agreed will not be passed through (i.e., billed) to the Non-Protected Tenants of such Property during the applicable period; provided, however, that in no event shall the Operating Partnership disburse nor shall the applicable Property Owning Entity be entitled to receive any amounts from such reserves to the extent that the parties reasonably agree subsequent to the applicable Closing to pass (i.e., bill) such Prop 13 Tax Increases onto the Non-Protected Tenants of a Property, but any such Non-Protected Tenant elects not or refuses to pay the same. To the extent that the actual Prop 13 Tax Increases attributable to any Property for which reserves are held by the Operating Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.3(d) exceed the estimates set forth on Exhibit “D” attached hereto, then PMB LLC shall either direct the Operating Partnership to cause the applicable Property Owning Entity to pass (i.e., bill) such excess onto the applicable Non-Protected Tenants, or pay to the Operating Partnership (for the benefit of the applicable Property Owning Entity), on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after written demand therefor from the Operating Partnership, cash in an amount equal to the amount of such excess (which cash shall be added to and

 

13


used as part of such reserves for all purposes under the terms of this Section 2.3(d)). To the extent that any cash remains in such reserves after the Prop 13 Tax Increases have been passed through (i.e., billed) to the Non-Protected Tenants of such Property for payment or reimbursement, Transferee shall cause the Operating Partnership to deliver such remaining funds to PMB LLC for distribution to PMB LLC or the Transferor of such Property, as applicable. As used herein, “Non-Protected Tenant” shall mean a “Tenant” (as hereinafter defined) of a Property that, under the terms of its “Lease” (as hereinafter defined), is obligated to reimburse the landlord for a portion of the real estate taxes attributable to such Property, including Prop 13 Tax Increases (and shall include any Tenant that, under the terms of its Lease, is obligated to pay a portion of any Prop 13 Tax Increases to the extent of such obligation), but specifically excludes any Tenant that, under the terms of its Lease, is either (i) not obligated to pay any portion of such real estate taxes, including any Prop 13 Tax Increases or (ii) obligated to pay a portion of such real estate taxes, but such obligation is limited so as not to include all or any portion of such Prop 13 Tax Increases.

(e) Cash Elections. At the request of the Property Transferor Parties, the Operating Partnership shall cooperate with each Property Transferor in good faith to treat all or a portion of the Cash Amount, as requested by the Property Transferor Parties, as a reimbursement of preformation expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-4(d) (the “Cap-Ex Amount”).

(f) Tax Reporting.

(i) The parties hereto intend and agree that to the extent any OP Units are received by OP Unit Recipients with respect to a Property Contribution: (A) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the payment of cash to the Cash Recipients in such Property Contribution in excess of their allocable share of the Cap-Ex Amount (the “Excess Cash Amount”) shall be treated as a sale of the interests in the Property Transferor held by such Cash Recipients and a purchase of such interests by the Operating Partnership for the cash so paid under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4); and (B) pursuant to such Treasury Regulation and for income tax purposes, each Property Transferor will be treated as (I) distributing the portion of the Property attributable to the Excess Cash Amount to the Operating Partnership in liquidation of the interests acquired by the Operating Partnership in exchange for the Excess Cash Amount, and (II) contributing the remaining portion of the Property to the Operating Partnership in exchange for the Cap-Ex Amount and the OP Unit Portion pursuant to Section 721 of the Code in a transaction in which no gain or loss is recognized and, immediately thereafter, distributing the OP Unit Portion to the OP Unit Recipients in liquidation of their interests in the Property Transferor. Each Property Transferor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its Cash Recipients to agree to the tax treatment described in the foregoing sentence at or prior to the Closing of the applicable Contribution Transaction. The Operating Partnership shall file its tax returns consistent with the above-described transaction structure, including the treatment of the Cap-Ex Amount as a reimbursement of the preformation expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-4(d), to the extent the Cash Recipients agree as provided above.

 

14


(ii) The parties hereto intend and agree that to the extent the Transferor only receives the Cash Amount in consideration for a Property Contribution and no OP Units are issued in connection with such Property Contribution, such Property Contribution shall be treated as a sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The parties hereto shall file their tax returns consistently with this Section 2.3(f)(ii).

(iii) The parties hereto intend and agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (A) any payment of cash to the Cash Recipients in an Investment Entity Transaction shall be treated as a sale of the Investment Interests in the Investment Entity held by such Cash Recipients and a purchase of such interests by the Operating Partnership for the cash so paid under the terms of this Agreement, and (B) the contribution of Investment Interests to the Operating Partnership by the Entity Transferor Parties in exchange for the OP Unit Portion shall be treated as a contribution pursuant to Section 721 of the Code. The parties hereto shall file their tax returns consistently with this Section 2.3(f)(iii).

2.4 Adjustment for Prorations and Closing Costs. On the applicable Closing Date for each Property, Transferee shall receive as a credit against the Contribution Value for such Property an amount (the “Credit Amount”) equal to the sum of: (a) all unapplied cash security deposits which were paid by the tenants or other occupants of such Property (collectively, the “Tenants”) under the “Leases” (as hereinafter defined) affecting such Property to or for the account of the applicable Transferor and that are refundable to such Tenants, plus accrued interest, if and to the extent required to be paid to such Tenants on such unapplied cash security deposits, unless such Transferor at the applicable Closing pays over to Transferee in cash all such unapplied security deposits, plus accrued interest thereon, if applicable; (b) expenses and other sums owed by or required to be funded by the applicable Transferor to any Tenant of such Property for any tenant improvement work related to such Property which occurred and/or were due and payable prior to (i) the Execution Date with respect to each Existing Property or (ii) the date a Completion Notice is delivered with respect to each Development Property; (c) rentals already received for such Property by the applicable Transferor attributable to the period from and after such Closing Date; (d) any rent concessions which accrue to any Tenants of such Property after such Closing Date; and (e) the amount, if any, by which prorated amounts allocated to the applicable Transferor pursuant to Section 7.5.1 hereof exceed prorated amounts allocated to the applicable Property Owning Entity or the Operating Partnership pursuant to Section 7.5.1 hereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on the applicable Closing Date for each Property, Transferee shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Transferor for any expenses or other sums (other than any legal fees or attorneys’ costs) actually funded or incurred following (i) the Execution Date with respect to the Existing Properties and (ii) the date that the applicable Completion Notice is delivered with respect to the Development Properties, by the applicable Transferor for any tenant improvement work or leasing costs related to such Property to the extent such amounts were actually paid by such Transferor and not taken into account in calculating the agreed upon Net Operating Income for such Property; provided, however, that if such amounts are not yet due and payable as of the applicable Closing Date, then upon such Closing

 

15


Date, the Property Owning Entity shall assume all obligations therefor and shall pay all such amounts when due.

2.5 Loan Obligations. Transferors have advised Transferee that, as of the Execution Date, each Property is encumbered by liens securing the indebtedness described next to such Property’s name on Exhibit “E” attached hereto (collectively, the “Loan Obligations”). Subject to any restrictions on prepayment or assumption that may be set forth in the “Loan Documents” (as hereinafter defined) for such Property, NHP shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause the Property Owning Entity to either assume or fully prepay the Loan Obligations applicable to such Property on the applicable Closing Date with respect thereto, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.5 hereof in each case, and subject to the other terms and conditions of the other “Transaction Documents” (as hereinafter defined).

3. OPENING OF ESCROW.

On or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the Execution Date, Transferee and Transferors shall cause an escrow (“Escrow”) to be opened with Escrow Agent by delivery to Escrow Agent of a fully executed copy of this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute escrow instructions to Escrow Agent as well as the agreement of the parties. Escrow Agent is hereby appointed and designated to act as Escrow Agent and instructed to deliver, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the documents and funds to be deposited into Escrow as herein provided. The parties hereto shall execute such additional escrow instructions (not inconsistent with this Agreement as determined by counsel for Transferee and Transferors) as Escrow Agent shall deem reasonably necessary for its protection, including Escrow Agent’s general provisions (as may be modified by Transferee, Transferors and Escrow Agent). In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and such additional escrow instructions, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

4. ACTIONS PENDING CLOSING.

4.1 Due Diligence.

4.1.1 Property Documents. Transferors acknowledge that they have given Transferee access for its review and copying, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, at the offices of PMB LLC, access to all contracts, documents, books, records and other materials relating to the Properties and the Loan Obligations (collectively, the “Property Documents”), to the extent that the same are in the actual possession of PMB LLC or any Transferor, all at each Transferors’ sole cost and expense. Following the Execution Date, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall continue to have access to the Property Documents either (a) through an electronic data site provided by PMB LLC or (b) at PMB LLC’s offices. Following the Execution Date, PMB LLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify NHP and the Operating Partnership by e-mail from time to time if any additional material Property Documents have become available to NHP and the Operating Partnership following the Execution Date, and whether such additional material Property Documents have been posted to such electronic data site or located in PMB LLC’s offices.

 

16


4.1.2 Property Questionnaires. With respect to each Existing Property, prior to the Execution Date, each Existing Property Owner has delivered to Transferee, and, with respect to each Development Property, each Development Property Owner shall deliver along with its Completion Notice to Transferee, a completed property questionnaire for the Property owned or leased by such Transferor in the form of Exhibit “F” attached hereto (collectively, the “Property Questionnaires”); provided, however, that no representations or warranties shall be deemed made by PMB LLC and/or the applicable Transferor in or by virtue of such Property Questionnaires (except PMB LLC and the applicable Transferor each represent and warrant to NHP and the Operating Partnership that, to its knowledge (as defined in Section 16.20 hereof), neither such Transferor nor, to its knowledge (as defined in Section 16.20 hereof), any other person completing such Property Questionnaire on behalf of such Transferor has intentionally made any misrepresentations as to any portion of such Property Questionnaire).

4.1.3 Transferee’s Diligence Tests. At all reasonable times during the period commencing on the Execution Date and ending on the applicable Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Transferee, its agents and representatives shall be entitled at Transferee’s sole cost and expense, to enter onto each of the Properties during normal business hours and upon at least forty eight (48) hours’ advance written notice to the applicable Transferor and PMB LLC, to perform inspections, investigations, studies and tests of each of the Properties (the “Inspections”); provided, however, that in connection therewith: (a) Transferee shall not be entitled to perform any invasive or destructive physical testing of any nature with respect to any portion of the Properties without the applicable Transferor’s and PMB LLC’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in their sole and absolute discretion); (b) if the applicable Transferor or PMB LLC so requests, Transferee shall be accompanied by a representative of such Transferor or PMB LLC during such Inspections; (c) Transferee may not initiate contact with any Tenants, other parties in possession, employees or other representatives of such Transferor, PMB LLC or their affiliates without the prior written consent of such Transferor and PMB LLC (and, at their option, a representative of such Transferor and/or PMB LLC shall be present during any such contact); (d) Transferee shall not materially interfere with the operations or business conducted at such Property or the occupancy rights of any Tenant; (e) Transferee shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) promptly repair any damage to any Property or to any other property owned by any other person to the extent caused by such Inspections, (ii) reimburse the applicable Transferor for any loss to the extent caused by such Inspections, (iii) restore any Property or other property owned by third parties to substantially the same condition as existed prior to such Inspections to the extent the need for such restoration is caused by such Inspections, and (iv) indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each Transferor and PMB LLC from all claims (including, without limitation, any claim for a mechanic’s lien or materialman’s lien), causes of action, costs, losses, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such Transferor, PMB LLC or their affiliates in connection with or arising out of any Inspections carried on, by or on behalf of Transferee pursuant to this Section 4.1.3; provided, however, that Transferee shall not be required to repair or restore any Property or other property, or reimburse or indemnify any Transferor, PMB LLC, their affiliates or any other third party property owner, for any claim, loss or cause of

 

17


action caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Transferor, PMB LLC, their affiliates or such third party property owner or for any physical condition existing on any of the Properties or any other property prior to Transferee’s or its agent’s entry thereon (other than to the extent such physical condition is disturbed or exacerbated by Transferee or its agents as a result of such Inspections). The provisions of the preceding sentence of this Section 4.1.3 shall survive the applicable Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

4.1.4 Transferee’s Termination Rights.

(a) With respect to each Existing Property, NHP shall have the right at any time on or before March 14, 2008 (the “Due Diligence Termination Date”) to terminate this Agreement with respect to all Properties, if NHP determines in its sole and absolute discretion that all or any portion of the Properties is not acceptable to NHP. In the event that NHP delivers written notice terminating this Agreement with respect to all Properties pursuant to this Section 4.1.4(a) to the applicable Transferors and Escrow Agent on or before the Due Diligence Termination Date or fails to deliver a written notice to the applicable Transferors and Escrow Agent on or before the Due Diligence Termination Date waiving its termination right pursuant to this Section 4.1.4(a), then (i) this Agreement shall automatically terminate (including, without limitation, with respect to all Properties) and be of no further force or effect as of the date of delivery of such written notice of termination or as of the Due Diligence Termination Date, as applicable, (ii) the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and “Title Company” (as hereinafter defined), and (iii) no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement.

(b) With respect to each Development Property, assuming that this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 4.1.4(a) above or otherwise, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall have a period of sixty (60) days following its receipt of such Development Property’s Completion Notice (each, a “Development Property Diligence Period”) to conduct due diligence with respect to such Development Property and to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Development Property only, if NHP and/or the Operating Partnership determines in its reasonable discretion that such Development Property is an “Unacceptable Development Property” (as hereinafter defined). In the event that NHP and the Operating Partnership both fail to deliver a written notice to the applicable Transferors and Escrow Agent exercising its termination right pursuant to this Section 4.1.4(b) with respect to any single Development Property on or before the expiration of the Development Property Diligence Period for such Development Property, then each of NHP and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Development Property and shall proceed to Closing with respect to such Development Property in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that NHP and/or the Operating Partnership timely and properly deliver a written notice of termination of this Agreement with respect to any Development Property pursuant to this Section 4.1.4(b) (because NHP and/or the Operating Partnership have reasonably determined that such Development Property is an Unacceptable Development Property), which notice

 

18


shall also specify in reasonable detail NHP’s and/or the Operating Partnership’s basis therefore, then (i) the portion of this Agreement that relates to such Development Property shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, (ii) the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and Title Company with respect to such Development Property, and (iii) no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to such Development Property, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement with respect to such Development Property. As used herein, the term “Unacceptable Development Property” shall mean that the diligence findings with respect to the applicable Development Property, in the reasonable opinion of NHP, are unacceptable for property specific reasons, including, without limitation, an unacceptable physical condition of such Development Property or failure of the improvements to substantially conform to the building plan specifications, any environmental issues, material title defects, or lease or service contract terms or provisions which are inconsistent with past leasing and management practices of PMB LLC or PMBRES with respect to the Existing Properties, but specifically excluding market related reasons, such as, without limitation, general market conditions, the Net Operating Income, changes in market cap rate valuations or changes in the value of NHP’s Common Stock.

(c) In addition to NHP’s right of termination with respect to all Properties as provided in Section 4.1.4(a) above, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall have until October 2, 2008 (the “Supplemental Vista Due Diligence Period”) to order and obtain updated physical inspection and environmental condition reports with respect to the Property owned by Vista LLC (the “Updated Vista Diligence Reports”). If any such Updated Vista Diligence Report discloses any material physical property condition or material environmental condition with respect to such Property that was not disclosed in any physical inspection report or environmental condition report obtained by NHP or the Operating Partnership prior to the Due Diligence Termination Date (it being understood that NHP and the Operating Partnership shall order and obtain such physical inspection and environmental condition reports with respect to the Property owned by Vista LLC before such date) (each, a “New Material Condition”), then NHP shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property on or before the expiration of the Supplemental Vista Due Diligence Period. In the event that NHP and the Operating Partnership are not entitled to exercise such termination right (i.e., because either NHP and the Operating Partnership fail to order or obtain any such Updated Vista Diligence Reports before the expiration of the Supplemental Vista Due Diligence Period or such Updated Vista Diligence Reports do not disclose any New Material Condition) or fail to deliver a written notice to the applicable Transferors and Escrow Agent exercising its termination right pursuant to this Section 4.1.4(c) with respect to such Property on or before the expiration of the Supplemental Vista Due Diligence Period, then NHP and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property pursuant to this Section 4.1.4(c) and shall proceed to Closing with respect to such Property in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that NHP and/or the Operating Partnership timely and properly deliver a written notice of termination of this Agreement with respect to such Property pursuant to this Section 4.1.4(c) (because of a New Material Condition), which notice shall also specify in reasonable detail NHP’s and/or the Operating Partnership’s basis therefore, then (i) the

 

19


portion of this Agreement that relates to such Property shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, (ii) the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and Title Company with respect to such Property, and (iii) no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to such Property, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement with respect to such Property.

4.2 Title.

4.2.1 Deliveries. On or before the tenth (10th) day after the Execution Date, each Existing Property Owner shall cause First American Title Insurance Company (in such capacity, “Title Company”) to (a) issue and deliver to Transferee a current preliminary title report for an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) extended coverage owner’s or leasehold policy, as applicable, of title insurance (collectively, the “PTRs”) for each Existing Property; and (b) deliver to Transferee legible copies, to the extent available, of all documents referenced as exceptions in the PTRs (collectively, the “Underlying Documents”). In addition, for each Development Property, each Development Property Owner shall include with its respective Completion Notice, a PTR and the applicable Underlying Documents for its respective Development Property. Within five (5) Business Days of Transferee’s receipt of the PTRs and the Underlying Documents for any Property, Transferee shall (i) order a current survey for such Property, in form reasonably satisfactory to Transferee and Title Company (collectively, the “Surveys”) and (ii) obtain a search for filings (at the State and County in which such Property is located and at the State of formation of the applicable Transferor) pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code with regard to Personal Property for such Property (the “UCC Search”) to be performed and delivered to Transferee. The PTRs, the Underlying Documents, the UCC Search and the Surveys shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Initial Title Documents.”

4.2.2 Transferee’s Initial Review of Title.

(a) With respect to the Existing Properties, Transferee shall have until the Due Diligence Termination Date to notify the applicable Transferors in writing of any reasonable objection which Transferee may have to any matters reported or shown in the Initial Title Documents delivered with respect to such Existing Properties. With respect to each Development Property, Transferee shall have until the expiration of the applicable Development Property Diligence Period to notify the applicable Transferor in writing of any reasonable objection which Transferee may have to any matters reported or shown in the Initial Title Documents with respect to such Development Property. If Transferee provides a reasonable objection notice on or before (i) the Due Diligence Termination Date with respect to any Property or (ii) the expiration of the Development Property Diligence Period with respect to the applicable Development Property, the applicable Transferor shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice within which to give written notice to Transferee as to whether such Transferor elects to cure such defect. Failure to notify Transferee in writing within such period of such Transferor’s election shall be deemed such Transferor’s election not to cure any such defects. If such Transferor elects, in its sole discretion, to cure any such

 

20


defects, such Transferor shall have until the Closing of the applicable Contribution Transaction to cure any such defects which it elected to cure.

(b) Transferee shall have three (3) Business Days following the later of its receipt of such Transferor’s notice electing not to cure any such defect and the date on which such Transferor is deemed to have elected not to cure any defect in which to elect either to: (i) terminate this Agreement with respect to the Contribution Transaction of (A) all of the Properties, if such election is exercised prior to the Closing Date of the first Contribution Transaction, (B) all Existing Properties for which a Closing has not occurred and all Development Properties, if such election is exercised after the Closing of the first Contribution Transaction but prior to the Closing of the last Contribution Transaction of an Existing Property, or (C) the applicable Development Property, if such election is exercised with respect to a Development Property, in which case the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and Title Company with respect to such cancellation, and no party (or its affiliates) shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to consummating such terminated Contribution Transactions or, if applicable, any other future transaction involving any of the parties hereto, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement; or (ii) subject to Transferee’s rights under Section 4.2.3 hereof with respect to each of the Properties, proceed to a timely Closing of the Contribution Transaction for the applicable Properties whereupon such objected to exceptions or matters shall be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions” (as hereinafter defined) for such Property.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to each Property, each Transferor shall either (i) discharge and remove any and all liens affecting its Property which secure an obligation to pay for (A) money borrowed or assumed by such Transferor (other than any liens securing the Loan Obligations for such Property), (B) mechanic’s liens or materialman’s liens for work performed at the request or direction of such Transferor or (C) any delinquent installments of real estate taxes and assessments not delinquent as of the applicable Closing for such Property (collectively, the “Non-Permitted Transferor Liens”), or (ii) otherwise cause Title Company to commit to issue the applicable “Title Policy” (as hereinafter defined) at the Closing for such Property without exception for any such Non-Permitted Transferor Liens. Under no circumstances shall a Non-Permitted Transferor Lien be deemed to be a Permitted Exception with respect to any Property.

(d) As used herein, the term “Permitted Exceptions” for each Property shall mean (i) the Leases for such Property, (ii) the applicable ground lease with respect to any Property that is subject to a ground lease, (iii) all matters reported in or shown by the Initial Title Documents (or any updates thereof) for such Property and not timely objected to by Transferee as provided in this Section 4.2.2 or Section 4.2.3 hereof or, as specified in Section 4.2.2(b), matters which were timely objected to by Transferee and which Transferor either cured or elected not to cure in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.2(b) hereof, (iv) zoning ordinances and regulations and other laws or regulations governing the use or enjoyment of such Property, (v) liens to secure

 

21


taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (vi) the Loan Obligations and (vii) any other matters affecting title to a Property created by or with the consent of Transferee.

4.2.3 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects and Matters.

(a) Transferee may, at or prior to the Closing of any Contribution Transaction, notify the applicable Transferor in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any reasonable objections to title (i) with respect to any Existing Property, to the extent that such objections are raised by the Title Company after the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Due Diligence Termination Date and prior to the Closing of such Contribution Transaction and (ii) with respect to any Development Property, to the extent that such reasonable objections are raised by the Title Company after the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the expiration of the Development Property Diligence Period for such Property and prior to the Closing of such Contribution Transaction (in the case of clause (i) and clause (ii), each, a “Gap Exception”).

(b) Subject to Section 4.2.2(c) above, this Section 4.2.3 and Section 10.1.1 hereof, if Transferee notifies such Transferor in writing that Transferee reasonably objects to any Gap Exception, then such Transferor shall have until the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Gap Notice or (ii) the then-scheduled Closing Date to notify Transferee in writing as to whether such Transferor elects to cure such Gap Exception. Failure to notify Transferee in writing within such period of such Transferor’s election shall be deemed such Transferor’s election not to cure any Gap Exception. If such Transferor elects, in its sole discretion, to cure any Gap Exception, such Transferor shall have until the Closing of the applicable Contribution Transaction to cure any such Gap Exception which it elected to cure.

(c) Transferee shall have three (3) Business Days following the later of its receipt of such Transferor’s notice electing not to cure any such Gap Exception and the date on which such Transferor is deemed to have elected not to cure any Gap Exception in which to elect either to: (i) terminate this Agreement with respect to the Contribution Transaction of (A) all of the Properties, if such election is exercised prior to the Closing Date of the first Contribution Transaction, (B) all Existing Properties for which a Closing has not occurred and all Development Properties, if such election is exercised after the Closing of the first Contribution Transaction but prior to the Closing of the last Contribution Transaction of an Existing Property, or (C) the applicable Development Property affected by such Gap Exception, if such election is exercised with respect to a Development Property, in which case the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and Title Company with respect to such cancellation, and no party (or its affiliates) shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to consummating such terminated Contribution Transactions or, if applicable, any other future transaction involving any of the parties hereto, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement; or (ii) proceed to a timely Closing of the Contribution Transaction for the applicable Properties whereupon such objected to Gap Exceptions shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions for such Property.

4.2.4 Condition of Title at Closing. With respect to each Property Contribution, upon the applicable Closing of the Contribution Transaction for a particular Property, the Property Transferor of such Property shall transfer, contribute and convey to the applicable New Property Owning Entity all of such Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Real Property comprising the Property owned or leased by such Transferor (a) if such Property is owned by such Transferor in fee, by a duly executed and acknowledged, customary deed in the form of Exhibit “G” attached hereto (each, a “Deed”) or (b) if such Transferor’s interest in such Real Property is a leasehold interest, by a duly executed and acknowledged assignment and assumption of ground lease in the form of Exhibit “H” attached hereto (the “Ground Lease Assignment”), in either case, subject only to the applicable Permitted Exceptions for such Property. With respect to each Investment Entity Transaction, prior to the applicable Closing of the Contribution Transaction for a particular Property, the Investment Entity Transferor of such Property shall transfer, contribute and convey to the applicable Investment Entity all of such Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Real Property comprising the Property owned or leased by such Transferor (i) if such Property is owned by such Transferor in fee, by a duly executed and acknowledged Deed or (ii) if such Transferor’s interest in such Real Property is a leasehold interest, by a duly executed and acknowledged Ground Lease Assignment, in either case, subject only to the applicable Permitted Exceptions for such Property. Prior to such Closing, neither PMB LLC nor any Transferor shall take any action or commit or suffer any acts which would give rise to a variance from (A) with respect to the Existing Properties, the current legal description of such Real Property, or cause the creation of any exception or encumbrance against or respecting such Real Property or (B) with respect to the Development Properties, the legal description of such Real Property as of the date on which the Completion Notice for such Property is delivered, or cause the creation of any exception or encumbrance against or respecting such Real Property following such date, in either case, without the prior written consent of NHP, which consent may be withheld in NHP’s sole and absolute discretion. Nothing in this Section 4.2.4 shall preclude NHP from disapproving title matters in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 hereof.

PMB LLC and each Investment Entity Transferor agree that following each Investment Entity Transaction, any Investment Interests not transferred to the Operating Partnership shall, as of the applicable Closing, be owned one hundred percent (100%) by the applicable Investment Entity Transferor, provided that following such Closing such retained Investment Interests may only be sold, assigned or otherwise

The Ground Lessor Estoppels, the Material Tenant Estoppels, the Tenant Estoppels and the Transferor’s Estoppels (if any) are sometimes each referred to herein as an “Estoppel Certificate” and are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Estoppel Certificates.” Each of the Estoppel Certificates shall be dated effective as of no earlier than the sixtieth (60 th) day prior to the applicable Closing Date and Transferor shall deliver to Transferee each applicable executed original Estoppel Certificate on or before such Closing.

With respect to each Property, subject to any restrictions on prepayment or assumption that may be set forth in the Loan Documents for such Property and the terms and conditions set forth herein, Transferee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly negotiate the assumption or, immediately after the Closing, the pay-off and refinance of such Loan Obligations on the applicable Closing Date and PMB LLC and Transferors shall cooperate with such efforts. NHP may elect, subject to the terms and conditions of the other Transaction Documents, to cause the applicable Property Owning Entity to assume or, immediately after the Closing, to pay-off and refinance each of such Loan Obligations. In the event that NHP elects to cause the applicable Property Owning Entity to assume (and not immediately thereafter pay-off and refinance) any Loan Obligation, Transferee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a written release from the lender of such Loan Obligation releasing any existing guarantors or indemnitors of such Loan Obligation (the “Guarantors”), including any guarantors or indemnitors of non-recourse carveout obligations, from any liabilities under such Loan Obligation first occurring or accruing from and after the applicable Closing Date (each, a “Release”), and shall offer to deliver to such lenders customary replacement guarantees and indemnities from NHP and/or the Operating Partnership on terms reasonably acceptable to NHP and/or the Operating Partnership. In the event that Transferee is unable to obtain such a Release for a particular Property, then, subject to the terms of the last sentence of this Section 6.5, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Guarantors with respect to liabilities first occurring or accruing under such guarantees and indemnities from and after the applicable Closing Date. Subject to the terms of Section 7.6 hereof, Transferee shall pay all fees, charges and related costs in connection with the assumption or refinance of the Loan Obligations (including, without limitation, any prepayment or assumption fees) (collectively, the “Assumption Costs”), which fees, charges and costs (other than the outstanding balance (i.e., principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts otherwise then due and payable other than those

 

36


otherwise allocated hereunder) of the Loan Obligations) shall not be credited against the Contribution Value for the applicable Property, and such Contribution Value shall not be reduced, diminished or affected on account thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Transferor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct Transferee to cause the applicable Property Owning Entity to assume and immediately pay off the Loan Obligations encumbering the Properties owned or leased by Torrance LLC, Pasadena LLC, Pomerado LLC and/or Gilbert LLC at the applicable Closing, in which case all prepayment penalties, fees and costs associated therewith (collectively, the “Transferor Loan Payoff Costs”) shall be paid by the applicable Transferor at the Closing of each applicable Property, provided, however, that if the applicable Transferor delivers written notice to Transferee and Escrow Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Closing of its election to cause the Operating Partnership to pay such amount (the “Transferor Loan Payoff Costs Notice”), then the Transferor Loan Payoff Costs shall be paid by the Operating Partnership and the amount of the Contribution Value for such Property shall be reduced by the Transferor Loan Payoff Costs for such Property pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that after using commercially reasonable efforts, Transferee is unable to assume any Loan Obligation on terms reasonably acceptable to Transferee (as determined by Transferee in its reasonable discretion), including, without limitation, reasonably acceptable terms relating to any requirement to perform repairs or capital improvements or to establish reserves for the performance of any repairs or capital improvements, then, at Transferee’s election in its sole and absolute discretion (and upon delivery of written notice by Transferee to Transferors and Escrow Agent), the Property encumbered by such Loan Obligation (each, a “Removed Project”) shall be removed and excluded from the terms of this Agreement, and the remainder of the terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that with respect to each Removed Project, the applicable Transferor shall reimburse NHP (or, at NHP’s election, the Operating Partnership) for the lesser of (a) fifty percent (50%) of any third party out-of-pocket due diligence expenses and/or Assumption Costs incurred by NHP and/or the Operating Partnership that specifically relate to or are reasonably allocable to such Removed Project (exclusive of legal fees and costs), and (b) Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000).

6.6 PMBRES Purchase Agreement. Transferee, PMB LLC and Transferors hereby agree and acknowledge that this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to the Contribution Transactions of all of the Properties in the event that the PMBRES Purchase Agreement is terminated on or prior to the Closing of the first Contribution Transaction, in which event the Escrow Agent shall return all documents, instruments and funds delivered into Escrow to the party that delivered the same into Escrow, the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of the Escrow Agent and Title Company (provided, that if either PMB LLC or NHP is required to pay all of such charges with respect to the termination under the PMBRES Purchase Agreement, such party shall also be responsible for such costs hereunder), and this Agreement shall automatically be of no further force or effect and no party (or its affiliates) shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement).

7.5 Prorations.

7.5.1 Adjustments.

(a) General. With respect to each Property, rentals (including common area maintenance charges), revenues, and other income, if any, from such Property (including, without limitation, any property management fees, any and all fees or other compensation paid to the applicable Transferor under any Service Contract, Lease or other agreement for such Property, whether paid monthly, upon contract execution or otherwise, as consideration for such Transferor or its agent entering into the applicable Service Contract, Lease or other agreement), taxes, assessments, ground rents, improvement bonds, service or other contract fees, utility costs, amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents for such Property (to the extent that such Loan Obligations are assumed by the applicable Property Owning Entity and not otherwise included in any other adjustment to the Contribution Value for such Property hereunder), and other expenses affecting such Property that are received or due and payable, shall be prorated between the applicable Property Owning Entity and the applicable Transferor as of the applicable Closing Date based on a 365 day year. For purposes of calculating prorations, the applicable Property Owning Entity shall be deemed to be title holder of each Property, and therefore entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses, after 12:01 a.m. on such Property’s Closing Date. In the event that a Property Owning Entity assumes any Loan Obligation and any amounts are held in escrow or reserve by or on behalf of the lender in connection with the applicable Loan Obligation pursuant to the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, on the Closing Date for such Property, the amounts held in such escrows or reserves shall be prorated by (a) the applicable Transferor assigning the applicable escrows or reserves to the applicable Property Owning Entity and (b) the Transferee causing the applicable Property Owning Entity to reimburse the applicable Transferor for the amounts held in such escrows or reserves (other than amounts held for obligations relating to the period prior to the applicable Closing Date). With respect to each Property, delinquent rentals, if any, attributable to such Property as of the applicable Closing Date (including, without limitation, any monthly estimates of percentage rents, operating expenses and/or common area maintenance charges), shall not be prorated as of such Closing Date, but when paid to the

 

45


applicable Property Owning Entity shall be delivered by the applicable Property Owning Entity to the applicable Transferor, less the costs and expenses incurred by NHP, the Operating Partnership or such Property Owning Entity in collecting the same (provided that all current rent has then been paid with respect to such Leases). With respect to each Property, after the applicable Closing, neither PMB LLC nor any Transferor nor any Transferor Party shall have any right to proceed in any manner or make any claim against Tenants of such Property for rents that were delinquent as of the Closing Date for such Property or for other matters relating to the Leases for such Property until such time that such Tenants have vacated such Property; provided, however, that PMBRES may proceed or make a claim against Tenants of such Property for such rents in accordance with the terms of the applicable Property Management Agreement. As of the Closing Date of each Property, all non-delinquent real estate taxes or assessments with respect to such Property shall be prorated based on the actual current tax bill for such Property, but if such tax bill has not yet been received by the applicable Transferor by the applicable Closing Date or if supplemental taxes are assessed after the applicable Closing for the period prior to the applicable Closing the latest available tax bill will be used and the parties shall make any necessary adjustment after the applicable Closing by either using the applicable “Estimated Post-Closing Adjustment Amount” (as hereinafter defined) (to the extent that a payment is owed to the Property Owning Entity and cash is available therein) or by cash payment to the party entitled thereto as soon as the final bills are available, so that the applicable Transferor shall have borne all real property taxes, including all supplemental taxes, allocable to the period prior to the applicable Closing and the applicable Property Owning Entity shall bear all real property taxes, including all supplemental taxes, allocable to the period from and after the applicable Closing. If any revenue or expenses attributable to any Property and allocable to the period prior to the applicable Closing are discovered, billed or received (as the case may be) after the applicable Closing (including, without limitation, as a result of any adjustments made after the applicable Closing Date pursuant to any percentage rent or operating expense annual reconciliation provisions contained in any of the Leases for such Property), the applicable Property Owning Entity and the applicable Transferor shall make any necessary adjustment after the applicable Closing by either using the applicable Estimated Post-Closing Adjustment Amount (to the extent that a payment is owed to the Property Owning Entity and cash is available therein) or by cash payment to the other party entitled thereto so that the applicable Transferor shall have borne all expenses and received all revenue allocable to the period prior to the applicable Closing and the applicable Property Owning Entity shall bear all expenses and receive all revenue allocable to the period from and after the applicable Closing.

(b) Estimated Post-Closing Adjustment Amount Reserves. At the Closing for each Property, Transferee and PMB LLC (on behalf of the applicable Transferor) shall in good faith estimate the amount of post-Closing proration adjustments reasonably expected to occur with respect to such Property after its Closing hereunder (an “Estimated Post-Closing Adjustment Amount”), understanding that each Estimated Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is just an estimate and the parties are not bound by such Estimated Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Transferee shall cause a reserve account held by the Operating Partnership (on behalf of the applicable Property Owning Entity) to be established, which shall be funded with cash in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%)

 

46


of the Estimated Post-Closing Adjustment Amount for such Property. Such reserve shall, at PMB LLC’s option, either be funded at the applicable Closing of such applicable Property in cash by PMB LLC (or the applicable Transferor) or by Transferee. To the extent funded by Transferee, the amount funded by Transferee (the “Proration Reserve Amount”) will reduce (and be treated as a credit against) such Property’s Contribution Value in accordance with Section 2.1.1 hereof. Following the Closing of a particular Property, as and when post-Closing proration adjustments are mutually agreed upon by the parties, the Operating Partnership may disburse the cash in such reserve for such Property to the applicable Property Owning Entity (to the extent that such post-Closing adjustment amounts are owed to such Property Owning Entity). With respect to each Property, to the extent that any cash remains in such reserve as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date for such Property, Transferee shall cause the Operating Partnership to deliver such remaining funds to PMB LLC for distribution to the Transferor of such Property. In the event that the reserve’s funds are insufficient to pay for the entirety of the post-Closing proration adjustments, PMB LLC shall deliver such funds to the applicable Property Owning Entity within thirty (30) days of receiving a request for the same from the Operating Partnership. Nothing contained in this Section 7.5.1(b) shall in any way limit the obligations of the parties set forth in Section 7.5.1(a) hereof.

(c) Proportionate Percentage Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of an Investment Entity Transaction, the applicable Property Owning Entity shall only owe its “Proportionate Percentage” (as hereinafter defined) of any proration adjustment to be made after the Closing of its Investment Entity Transaction. As used herein, the term “Proportionate Percentage” shall mean, a percentage equal to the percentage of Investment Interests distributed, in the aggregate, to Entity Transferor Parties for such Property.

From time to time after the initial preparation of the PPM, including in connection with any pending Closing of an Existing Property or Development Property, NHP or the Operating Partnership may prepare an amendment or supplement to the PPM, and deliver the same to PMB LLC for delivery to the applicable Investors.

10.3.5 Provision of Information by PMB for PPM Updates. In connection with NHP’s preparation of any amendment or supplement to the PPM in connection with a pending Closing, PMB LLC shall promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after a request from NHP or the Operating Partnership, furnish to NHP, for inclusion in such amendment or supplement, with respect to each Existing Property or Development Property that is expected to be acquired by Transferee at a pending Closing (a) all information required by Exhibit “Z” attached hereto, and (b) Property Financial Statements as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.

10.3.6 Accuracy of Property Information. PMB LLC and each Transferor (solely with respect to its Property) hereby represents and warrants that the information to be provided pursuant to Sections 10.3.2 and 10.3.5 above will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any of the information required by Exhibit “Z” attached hereto, or any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

10.3.7 Accuracy of Financial Statements. PMB LLC and each Transferor (solely with respect to its Property) hereby represents and warrants that the Property Financial Statements that it will provide for inclusion in the PPM (or any amendment or supplement thereto prepared in connection with a Closing) will fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of such Properties as of the date of such Property Financial Statements, and the results of operations of such Properties for the periods indicated therein, subject, in the case of Property Financial Statements relating to any quarterly period, to normal year-end adjustments.

10.3.8 Notice of Inaccuracies. If, at any time prior to any Closing involving an issuance of OP Units, PMB LLC or any Transferor has knowledge (as defined in Section 16.20 hereof) of any fact or circumstance that would make any representation or warranty in Section 10.3.6 or 10.3.7 hereof untrue, then PMB LLC or the applicable Transferor shall promptly inform NHP and the Operating Partnership, and provide NHP and the Operating Partnership with the information necessary to prepare an appropriate amendment or supplement to the PPM.

10.3.9 Liability and Indemnification.

(a) This Section 10.3.9 shall constitute PMB LLC’s, each Transferor’s and their affiliates’ sole liability and shall constitute NHP’s, the Operating Partnership’s and their affiliates’ sole recourse for any breach of this Section 10.3 by PMB LLC, any Transferor or any of their affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, none of PMB LLC, any Transferor or any of their affiliates shall have any liability under this Section 10.3 unless there is a “Claim” (as hereinafter defined) by an Investor based on a misstatement in or omission from the PPM (or any amendment or supplement thereto) as

 

61


a result of an inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of PMB LLC or a Transferor set forth in Section 10.3.6 or 10.3.7 hereof or a breach by PMB LLC or a Transferor of any of its obligations under this Section 10.3, and any such liability shall be limited to the specific scope of the indemnity provided in Section 10.3.9(b) below.

(b) PMB LLC and each Transferor (with respect to its Property) will indemnify, and hold NHP and the Operating Partnership harmless from and against all expenses, losses, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by NHP or the Operating Partnership to an Investor as a result of a misstatement of material fact contained in the PPM (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or omission of a material fact from the PPM (or any amendment or supplement thereto) that is (1) required by Exhibit “Z” attached hereto or (2) necessary in order to make the statements therein, under the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such information was included in, or omitted from the PPM (or an amendment or supplement thereto), as a result of an inaccuracy in a representation or warranty of PMB LLC or a Transferor made in Section 10.3.6 or 10.3.7 above or a breach by PMB LLC or a Transferor of its obligations under this Section 10.3; provided, however, that neither PMB LLC nor any Transferor will be liable in any such case if NHP or the Operating Partnership has knowledge (as defined in Section 16.20 hereof) of any misstatement in or omission from the PPM (or any amendment or supplement thereto), and NHP or the Operating Partnership failed to deliver an amendment or supplement to the PPM correcting such misstatement or omission. In the event that NHP or the Operating Partnership incurs expenses, losses, damages or liabilities to an Investor other than pursuant to a binding judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, such expenses, losses, damages or liabilities may not be used to establish whether any alleged misstatement of material fact or omission to state a material fact actually existed or if it existed, whether it resulted from an inaccuracy in a representation or warranty of PMB LLC or a Transferor in Section 10.3.6 or 10.3.7 above or a breach by PMB LLC or a Transferor of this Section 10.3, such facts to be separately established by NHP or the Operating Partnership in any dispute between the parties relating thereto.

10.4 Notice of Change in Circumstances. Each of PMB LLC and the applicable Transferor, on the one hand, and NHP and Transferee, on the other hand shall promptly notify the other parties of any material change (collectively, the “Changes”) in any condition or event or circumstance of which such party obtains knowledge subsequent to the Execution Date with respect to any Existing Property or the date of the delivery of a Completion Notice with respect to any Development Property, which (a) makes any representation or warranty of such party under this Agreement untrue or misleading in any material respect or (b) makes any material covenant or agreement of such party under this Agreement incapable or substantially less likely of being performed, it being expressly understood that the obligation to provide information under this Section 10.4 shall in no way relieve the disclosing party of any liability for a breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any party hereto shall become aware after the Execution Date with respect to any Existing Property or the date of the delivery of a Completion Notice with respect to any Development

 

62


Property, of any Changes that (i) make any representation or warranty of such party set forth in this Agreement (which was true, correct and complete as of the Execution Date with respect to an Existing Property Owner and as of the date of the delivery of a Completion Notice with respect to a Development Property Owner) untrue, incorrect or incomplete or (ii) make any covenant or agreement of such party under this Agreement (which was, as of the Execution Date with respect to any Existing Property or the date of the delivery of a Completion Notice with respect to any Development Property, capable of being performed) incapable or substantially less likely of being performed, to the extent that such Changes are not a result of such party’s breach of this Agreement, such Changes shall not constitute a default by such party hereunder and such party shall have no liability to the other parties hereto with respect thereto.

10.5 Post-Closing Bargain Purchase Reimbursements. If at any time following the Contribution Transaction relating to the Property owned by Vista LLC (the “Sharp Rees-Stealy Property”), the purchase rights provided by that certain Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease-Net, dated September 2, 1999, by and between Pacific Medical Buildings, L.P., a California limited partnership, and Sharp Rees-Stealy Corporation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, as in effect as of the Execution Date (the “Bargain Purchase Option”) are exercised, and the proceeds received by such Property Owning Entity in connection with the closing of the sale of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property pursuant to such Bargain Purchase Option are less than the Contribution Value paid with respect to the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property (including all costs and expenses, and the addition back of all credits hereunder, reasonably allocable to the acquisition of such Property), then PMB LLC and the related Transferor shall be obligated to pay to NHP the difference between such Contribution Value and such proceeds (the “Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount”) in accordance with the requirements of this Section 10.5. Within thirty (30) days of the closing of the sale of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property pursuant to the Bargain Purchase Option, such Property Owning Entity shall notify PMB LLC in writing of the amount of the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount. PMB LLC and Vista LLC shall pay to NHP the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such notice. To secure the payment of the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount, PMB LLC and such Transferor hereby covenant and agree (and acknowledge that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the satisfaction of such covenant and agreement shall be a condition precedent, under Section 6.1 hereof, to the Closing of, and Transferee’s obligation to close, the Contribution Transaction for the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property) that at the Closing of the Contribution Transaction relating to the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property, PMB LLC and the related Transferor shall cause holders of OP Units (the “Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units”) with a “Market Value” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement), as of such Closing, equal to the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged OP Unit Amount, it being understood that such Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units may include OP Units that would otherwise be payable to Vista LLC and/or PMB LLC as consideration for their respective interests in the Property, or any OP Units delivered in connection with any prior Contribution Transaction, to be delivered to the Operating Partnership and pledged pursuant to the terms of pledge agreements in the form of Exhibit “AA” attached hereto (the “Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledge Agreements”), which shall be executed and delivered by the

 

63


Operating Partnership and each of the holders of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units at such Closing. As used herein, the term “Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged OP Unit Amount” shall mean the amount by which the Contribution Value paid with respect to the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property exceeds the estimated amount of the proceeds expected to be received in connection with any exercise of the Bargain Purchase Option, assuming that the Bargain Purchase Option were exercised on July 1, 2011 (the “First Option Date”). In the event that the Bargain Purchase Option is not exercised on or before the First Option Date, the parties agree that the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged OP Unit Amount shall be recalculated promptly after such date and shall thereafter mean the amount by which the Contribution Value paid with respect to the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property exceeds the estimated amount of the proceeds expected to be received in connection with any exercise of the Bargain Purchase Option, assuming that the Bargain Purchase Option were exercised on July 1, 2016 (the “Last Option Date”). In the event that the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged OP Unit Amount calculated as of the Closing of the Contribution Transaction with respect to the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property is more than the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged OP Unit Amount calculated as of the First Option Date, then Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units with a “Market Value” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement), as of the First Option Date, equal to such difference shall be released from the provisions of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledge Agreements and, to the extent held by Transferee, shall be delivered to PMB LLC for distribution to the appropriate OP Unit Recipient. In the event that the Bargain Purchase Option is not exercised on or before the First Option Date nor the Last Option Date, then all of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units shall be released from the provisions of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledge Agreements and, to the extent held by Transferee, shall be delivered to PMB LLC for distribution to the appropriate OP Unit Recipient. In the event that the Bargain Purchase Option is exercised and NHP has not received reimbursement of the full amount of the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.5, NHP may foreclose upon the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units in accordance with the terms of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledge Agreements. In the event that the “Market Value” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement) of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units foreclosed upon pursuant to the proceeding sentence, as of the date of the closing of the sale of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property pursuant to the exercise of the Bargain Purchase Option, is less than the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount, PMB LLC and the related Transferor shall immediately pay to NHP the remainder of the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount. In the event that the Bargain Purchase Option is exercised and NHP (a) receives reimbursement of the full amount of the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount in accordance with this Section 10.5, or (b) forecloses on the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units in accordance with this Section 10.5 and the “Market Value” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement) of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units, as of the closing of the sale of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property pursuant to the exercise of the Bargain Purchase Option, exceeds the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount, then the remaining Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledged Units shall be released from the provisions of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Pledge Agreements and, to the extent held by NHP, shall be delivered to PMB LLC for distribution to the appropriate OP Unit Recipient. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the Closing of the Contribution Transaction relating to the Sharp Rees-Stealy Property.

 

64


10.6 ROFO Closing Conditions. As promptly as practicable after the Execution Date with respect to the Existing Properties and prior to delivery of a Completion Notice with respect to any Development Properties, PMB LLC and each applicable Transferor shall use good faith efforts to satisfy the requirements specified on Exhibit “BB” attached hereto (collectively, the “ROFO Closing Conditions”); provided, however, that failure or inability of PMB LLC and the applicable Transferor to satisfy the ROFO Closing Conditions shall under no circumstances constitute an event of default by PMB LLC or any such Transferor under this Agreement, but rather shall constitute the non-fulfillment of the Transferee’s Closing Conditions pursuant to Section 6.1.11 hereof, entitling Transferee to exercise its right pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof.

11. RISK OF LOSS.

11.1 Condemnation. With respect to each Property, if, prior to the Closing for such Property, a “Material Taking” (as hereinafter defined) occurs with respect to such Property as a result of a taking by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which has not been consummated), the Transferor that owns or leases such Property shall immediately notify Transferee of such fact. In such event, NHP shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property upon written notice to the applicable Transferor, given not later than thirty (30) days after such Transferor provides such notice to Transferee (in which case this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to such Property, the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and Title Company with respect to such Property, no party or its affiliates shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to such Property (including, without limitation, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal or other similar rights), other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect). NHP shall have no right to terminate its rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Property as a result of any taking of a portion of such Property that does not result in a Material Taking. If NHP does not elect or has no right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property affected by a condemnation, the applicable Transferor shall assign and turn over to the applicable Property Owning Entity, and such Property Owning Entity shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards for such taking by condemnation and Transferee shall be deemed to have accepted such Property subject to such taking without reduction in the Contribution Value for such Property. As used herein, the term “Material Taking” shall mean, with respect to a particular Property, any taking by condemnation or eminent domain of such Property or any portion thereof (a) which materially impairs the use of such Property or the applicable portion thereof (if such applicable portion is material to the use of such Property as a whole), as reasonably determined by such Transferor and NHP, or (b) (i) that results in a material adverse effect to the parking for or access to such Property or the applicable portion thereof (if such applicable portion is material to the use of such Property as a whole) or (ii) which results in any Tenants having the right to terminate their or its Lease(s) pursuant to the terms thereof or having the right to an abatement of rent pursuant to the terms thereof that is not covered by rental insurance.

 

65


11.2 Casualty. With respect to each Property, prior to the applicable Closing and notwithstanding the pendency of this Agreement, the entire risk of loss or damage by earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, landslide, fire, acts of war, terrorism, terrorist activities or other casualty shall be borne by and be the responsibility of the applicable Transferor that owns or leases such Property. If, prior to the applicable Closing of a Property, any “Material Damage” (as hereinafter defined) occurs to any portion of such Property as a result of earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, landslide, fire, acts of war, terrorism, terrorist activities or other casualty, the Transferor that owns or leases such Property shall immediately notify Transferee of such fact. In such event, NHP shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property upon written notice to the applicable Transferor, given not later than thirty (30) days after such Transferor provides such notice to Transferee (in which case this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to such Property, the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and Title Company with respect to such Property, no party or its affiliates shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to such Property (including, without limitation, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal or other similar rights), other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect). NHP shall have no right to terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Property as a result of any damage or destruction of such Property that does not constitute a Material Damage. If NHP does not elect or has no right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property affected by such damage or destruction, the applicable Transferor shall assign and turn over to the applicable Property Owning Entity, and such Property Owning Entity shall be entitled to receive and keep, all insurance proceeds payable with respect to such damage or destruction (which shall then be repaired or not at such Property Owning Entity’s option and cost) and Transferee shall receive, as a credit against the Contribution Value for such Property, an amount equal to the deductible amount with respect to the insurance, to the extent covered by insurance, and the parties shall proceed to the applicable Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without modification of the terms of this Agreement. If NHP does not elect or has no right to terminate such affected portion of this Agreement by reason of any casualty, NHP shall have the right to participate in any adjustment of any insurance claim. As used herein, the term “Material Damage” shall mean, with respect to a particular Property, any damage or casualty loss to such Property or any portion thereof (a) such that the cost of repairing or restoring such Property to substantially the same condition which existed prior to the event of such damage or casualty would be, in the reasonable opinion of an architect or other qualified expert mutually selected by such Transferor and NHP, equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Total Property Value for such Property or (b) that results in any Tenants having the right to terminate their or its Lease(s) pursuant to the terms thereof or having the right to an abatement of rent pursuant to the terms thereof that is not covered by rental insurance.

71


applicable Investment Entity Transaction (regardless of when due and payable), except to the extent prorated or otherwise apportioned pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, or in any Indemnity Pledge Agreement and/or Indemnity Cash Escrow Agreement, if NHP or the Operating Partnership shall seek or be entitled to indemnification or any other action with respect to any Claim against a Transferor with respect to any particular Property or such Transferor, then NHP and the Operating Partnership agree to proceed against all applicable Transferor Parties of such Transferor pursuant to the applicable Indemnity Pledge Agreements and/or the applicable Indemnity Cash Escrow Agreement delivered by such Transferor Parties, or the applicable Transferor Parties and PMB LLC, as applicable, at the applicable Closing solely in proportion to each such Transferor Party’s Allocable Share of the applicable Secured Amount.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no party shall be entitled to any recovery of damages pursuant to this Section 14 to the extent that the party seeking indemnification hereunder had knowledge as of the Closing of the matter that gives rise to the Claims, including, without limitation, the breach by any party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement that give rise to such Claims. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification provisions of this Section 14 shall be the sole remedy of an indemnified party and shall be in lieu of any other remedy available to any indemnified party, whether at law or in equity, arising out of or in connection with Claim for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, including, without limitation, on account of any breach by any party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement that give rise to such Claims.

14.4 Limitations on Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than with respect to Transferee’s Claims arising from (a) PMB LLC’s or any Transferor’s fraud or willful misconduct, (b) any misstatement of the tenant improvement amounts set forth in any Rent Roll delivered pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or in any Bringdown Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2.15 hereof, (c) any Investor Claims, (d) any matters specified in the last sentence of Section 14.2 hereof, (e) the exercise of the Bargain Purchase Option, as specified in Section 10.5 hereof, (f) the indemnity set forth in Section 10.3.9 hereof, or (g) the exercise of any Claim under the Pipeline Property Agreement (or any documents or agreements executed in connection therewith) or the PMBRES Purchase Agreement (which shall be subject to the applicable limitations set forth in the Pipeline Property Agreement (or any documents or agreements executed in connection therewith) or the PMBRES Purchase Agreement, as applicable), with respect to items (a) through (g) above the parties hereby agree that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply), Transferee shall not seek, or be entitled to, indemnification or any other action, whether in law or in equity, for a breach of any express representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of PMB LLC or any Transferor under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document (including under any Transferor’s Estoppel) (i) to the extent the aggregate Claims for damages or losses for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 14 or any other claim for breach of any other express representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of PMB

 

72


LLC or any Transferor under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document (including under any Transferor’s Estoppel) is less than the applicable “Threshold” (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) to the extent the aggregate Claims for all such damages or losses exceed an amount equal the applicable “Cap” (as hereinafter defined).

As used herein, the term “Cap” shall mean with respect to PMB LLC and each Transferor, an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Total Property Value of the Property owned or leased by such Transferor. In calculating the amount of any damages payable to Transferee hereunder, the amount of the damages (A) shall not be duplicative of any other award for any indemnification claim or other claim for breach of any express representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of PMB LLC or any Transferor under this Agreement (including under any Transferor’s Estoppel), and (B) shall be computed net of any amounts actually recovered by Transferee under any insurance policy with respect to such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no party hereto shall seek, or be entitled to indemnification or any other action, and each of the party’s hereby expressly waive any right to recover, any and all consequential damages, punitive damages and exemplary damages, and any other damages which would be predicated in whole or in part upon loss of bargain, opportunity lost, or any loss of anticipated benefits incurred by such party by reason of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of any other party under this Agreement (including under any Transferor Estoppel).

14.5 Further Assurances. Each party shall do, execute and deliver, or shall cause to be done, executed and delivered, all such further acts and instruments which the other party may reasonably request in order to more fully effectuate the indemnifications provided for in this Agreement.

14.6 Survival.

15. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Transferee, PMB LLC and each Transferor shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Laws (including, without limitation, applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), court process or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange.

16.5 Legal Fees and Other Costs. Subject to the provision for payment of Closing Costs in accordance with the terms of Section 7.6 hereof and any other provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 6.2, 6.4 and 6.5 hereof, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be consummated, all fees and expenses incurred by any party hereto in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be borne by such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Closing of each Property, PMB LLC may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct Transferee to cause the Operating Partnership to pay on behalf of PMB LLC or Transferors all or any portion of such Property’s anticipated pro rata share (as reasonably estimated as of such Closing) of PMB LLC’s and Transferors’ third party legal fees and other third party expenses actually incurred in connection with (a) the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any term sheet with respect to any of the foregoing, (b) the performance of PMB LLC’s and Transferors’ obligations and covenants contemplated by any of the foregoing, and (c) the costs of all certificates, instruments, documents and other items required to be delivered or caused to be delivered by PMB LLC or Transferors in connection with the transactions contemplated by any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Legal Fees and Costs”), by delivering written notice to Transferee and Escrow Agent five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing of its election to cause the Operating Partnership to pay such amount (each a “Legal Fees and Costs Notice”). Each Legal Fees and Costs Notice shall specify what portion of the applicable Property’s (or such Transferor Party’s) anticipated pro rata share of the Legal Fees and Costs PMB LLC has elected to cause the Operating Partnership to pay and shall include invoices for amounts to be paid at the applicable Closing or receipts for amounts paid by PMB LLC or Transferors (or such Transferor Party’s) that are to be reimbursed at the applicable Closing. Transferee shall cause the Operating Partnership to pay such specified portion of the Legal Fees and Costs at the Closing of such Property (each a “Reimbursable Legal Fees and Costs Amount”) as directed in the Legal Fees and Costs Notice and the Contribution Value of such Property shall be reduced by the amount of such payments pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1 hereof.

16.6 Assignment. No party hereto shall have the right, power, or authority to assign all or any portion of this Agreement or its rights hereunder or to delegate any duties or obligations arising under this Agreement, voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

16.7 Severability. Any provision or part of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall, as to such situation and such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of any such provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

16.8 Successors and Assigns; Third Parties. Subject to and without waiver of the provisions of Section 16.6 hereof, all of the rights, duties, benefits, liabilities and obligations of the parties shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors and assigns. Except as specifically set forth or referred to herein, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer

 

76


upon or give to any person or entity, other than the parties hereto and their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

16.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be deemed necessary and convenient, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16.10 Headings. The Section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to modify, explain, restrict, alter or affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof.

16.12 Further Assurances. In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by PMB LLC, Transferors and Transferee, PMB LLC, Transferors and Transferee agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at or after the applicable Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

16.13 Number and Gender. Whenever the singular number is used, and when required by the context, the same includes the plural, and the masculine gender includes the feminine and neuter genders.

16.14 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party hereto than against any other party hereto merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties.

16.15 Post-Closing Access to Records. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing of each Property, (a) upon receipt by PMB LLC or the Transferor of such Property of Transferee’s reasonable written request at anytime and from time to time, PMB LLC or such Transferor shall, at PMB LLC’s or such Transferor’s principal place of business, during PMB LLC’s or such Transferor’s normal business hours, make all of PMB LLC’s and such Transferor’s records relating to such Property available to Transferee for inspection and copying (at Transferee’s sole cost and expense) and (b) upon receipt by Transferee of PMB LLC’s or the applicable Transferor’s reasonable written request at anytime and from time to time, Transferee shall, at Transferee’s principal place of business, during Transferee’s normal business hours, make all of Transferee’s records relating to such Property available to PMB LLC or such Transferor, as applicable, for inspection and copying (at PMB LLC or such Transferor’s sole cost and expense), in either case, subject to any confidentiality obligations to which the party granting such access may be reasonably bound. This Section 16.15 shall survive the applicable Closing.

16.16 Exhibits. All exhibits and schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated by reference as though set out in full herein.

 

77


16.17 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any party hereto brings an action or proceeding against any other party to enforce or interpret any of the covenants, conditions, agreements or provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, charges, disbursements and the fees and costs of expert witnesses.

16.18 Business Days. As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. In the event that the date for the performance of any covenant or obligation under this Agreement shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the date for performance thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day.

16.19 Dispute Resolution. Any controversy, dispute, or claim of any nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Agreement (and any closing document executed in connection herewith), including any claim based on contract, tort or statute (collectively, a “Dispute”), that cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) days shall first be submitted to mediation between the parties. In the event that such mediation does not resolve the Dispute within ten (10) Business Days, the Dispute shall be resolved at the written request of any party to this Agreement by binding arbitration using applicable arbitration procedures of JAMS located in San Diego, California pursuant to California law. The parties shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from JAMS. If they are unable to do so within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, then JAMS shall designate an arbitrator. The arbitration shall be final and binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 16.19 shall not prevent Transferee, PMB LLC or Transferors from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the state in which such Property is located (to which all parties hereto consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such party under this Agreement or to prevent irreparable harm and injury. The court’s jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited only to the temporary, preliminary, or permanent equitable relief sought; all other claims initiated under this Agreement between the parties hereto shall be determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section 16.19. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Dispute relating to the determination of the Net Operating Income of any Property pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof shall be resolved pursuant to the “Expert Accountant Procedure” (as hereinafter defined) rather than by the arbitration procedures described above. The “Expert Accountant Procedure” shall mean that following the mediation procedure described above: (i) each of PMB LLC (for itself and the applicable Transferors) and Transferee shall select an accounting firm with at least ten (10) years of experience in calculating net operating income for medical office buildings (a “Qualified Accountant”) and shall give

 

78


notice to the other specifying the name and address of the Qualified Accountant each has chosen; (ii) the two Qualified Accountants so chosen shall, within ten (10) days after the second Qualified Accountant is appointed, produce a calculation of the Net Operating Income for such Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (iii) if the two calculations produced are within ten percent (10%) of each other, then the average of the two (2) calculations shall be deemed to be the calculation of the Net Operating Income of such Property, but if the two (2) calculations produced are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, the two (2) Qualified Accountants shall together designate a third (3rd) Qualified Accountant; and (d) if applicable, the calculation of the third (3rd) Qualified Accountant shall be compared to the calculations of the first (1st) Qualified Accountants, and the two (2) calculations that are nearest to each other shall be averaged, and the average of the two (2) calculations shall be deemed to be the calculation of the Net Operating Income of such Property. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the Qualified Accountant it has selected, and if applicable, one half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third (3rd) Qualified Accountant. The decision and award of the Qualified Accountants shall be in writing and shall be final, conclusive and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The terms and provisions of this Section 16.19 shall survive each Closing.

16.20 Knowledge Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term “knowledge”, (a) when used with respect to PMB LLC or any Transferor means to the actual, current knowledge of Mark Toothacre, Gregory P. Nelson, Evan Stone, Robert A. Rosenthal, James Rohan, Elizabeth Powell, Jeffrey L. Rush, Claude Hooton, Jonathan Hughes and Sherwood Johnston, III, without independent investigation or the duty to conduct an independent investigation, and without imputation of the knowledge of any other employees, agents or other advisors of PMB LLC or its affiliates, and (b) when used with respect to NHP or the Operating Partnership means to the actual, current knowledge of Doug Pasquale, Abdo Khoury, Don Bradley and David Snyder, without independent investigation or the duty to conduct an independent investigation, and without imputation of the knowledge of any other employees, agents or other advisors of NHP or its affiliates.

16.21 No Thirteen Day Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any of the Properties located in the State of Arizona, PMB LLC, Transferors and Transferee hereby specifically reject any clause, code or statute purportedly granting a time (whether thirteen (13) days or otherwise) during which a defaulting party might cure its default, and Transferors and Transferee hereby affirmatively state and agree that (subject to the terms of Section 12 hereof), upon the default of any party to this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall comply with the terms of this Agreement and abide by the waiver set forth in this Section 16.21, and the non-defaulting party may immediately invoke any of its remedies in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

16.22 California Natural Hazard Disclosure. Transferee acknowledges that each Transferor owning Property located in the State of California is required to disclose if such Property lies within the following natural hazardous areas or zones: (a) a special flood hazard area (any type Zone “A” or “V”) designated by the Federal

 

79


Emergency Management Agency (Cal. Gov. Code § 8589.3); (b) an area of potential flooding shown on a dam failure inundation map designated pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code § 8589.5 (Cal. Gov. Code § 8589.4); (c) a very high fire hazard severity zone designated pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code § 51178 or 51179 (in which event the owner maintenance obligations of Cal. Gov. Code § 51182 would apply) (Cal. Gov. Code § 51183.5); (d) a wildland area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards designated pursuant to Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 4125 (in which event (i) such Transferor would be subject to maintenance requirements of Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 4291 and (ii) it would not be the State of California’s responsibility to provide fire protection services to any building or structure located within the wildland area except, if applicable, pursuant to Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 4129 or pursuant to a cooperative agreement with a local agency for those purposes pursuant to Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 4142) (Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 4136); (e) an earthquake fault zone (Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 2621.9); or (f) a seismic hazard zone (and, if applicable, whether a landslide zone or liquefaction zone) (Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 2694). The applicable Transferor shall execute and deliver to Transferee a natural hazards disclosure statement with respect to the foregoing matters (the “Natural Hazards Disclosure Statement”).

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT ENTITY TRANSACTION

The following steps shall be followed with respect to any Property for which there will be an Alternative Entity Transaction:

Assume a property (the “Property”) is owned by an existing Transferor and that Transferor has three members: (a) a 20% hospital member (“Hospital”), (b) an 80% non-managing member (“NMM”) and (c) a 0% managing member (“MM”). The NMM is itself a limited liability company and has five classes of members: (i) insiders who want cash (“C-I” - 15% of the 80%), (ii) outsiders who want cash (“C-O” - 15% of the 80%), (iii) insiders who want OP Units (“U-I” - 15% of the 80%), (iv) outsiders who want OP Units (“U-O” - 15% of the 80%) and (v) outsiders (doctors) who want Investment Interests (“I” - 20% of the 80%). In this case:

Step 1 - NMM liquidates and distributes its 80% of the Transferor interests to C-I (15%), C-O (15%) U-I (15%), U-O (15%) and I (20%) in redemption of their interests in NMM.

Step 2 - MM, Hospital and I form a new subsidiary investment entity limited liability company (“IE”), Hospital and I contribute their interests in Transferor to IE in exchange for interests in IE, and MM becomes the managing member of IE with a 0% economic interest in IE.

Step 3 - Transferor contributes its property (and any agreed Permitted Liabilities) to a new subsidiary limited liability company (“Propco”) in exchange for interests in Propco.

Step 4 - Transferor liquidates, distributing its interests in Propco to its members (40% to IE and 15% to each of the other four members).

Step 5 -The general partner of the Operating Partnership contributes cash to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units. Also, at this same time, C-I and C-O each transfer their 15% interest in Propco to the Operating Partnership in exchange for cash, and U-I and U-O each transfer their 15% interest in Propco to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units. IE retains its interest in Propco.

Note - After the above transactions, the Property will be owned by Propco, Propco will be owned 60% by the Operating Partnership and 40% by IE, U-I and U-O will hold OP Units, H and I will own the interests in IE (which entity shall be governed by an operating agreement that provides that PMB LLC (or another entity reasonably acceptable to NHP) is the sole managing member with the sole authority to control and make day-to-day decisions for IE, subject to the non-managing members’ consent rights with respect to major decisions) and C-I and C-O will have received cash. Each Propco will be treated as an Investment Entity, and each interest in any Propco shall be treated as an interest in an Investment Entity, for all purposes under this Agreement and under each of the Transaction Documents and all restrictions and requirements set forth therein with respect to the same shall apply to each Propco.

Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, an allocation to a Member of a share of Net Profits or Net Losses shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Losses.

(a) Net Profits. Net Profits shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to such Members pursuant to Section 5.1.2(b)(ii) hereof for all prior fiscal years minus the cumulative Net Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to this Section 5.1.2(a)(i) for all prior fiscal years;

(ii) Second, to the Members in proportion to and in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to each such Member pursuant to Section 5.1.2(b)(i) for all prior fiscal years minus the cumulative Net Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to this Section 5.1.2(a)(ii) for all prior fiscal years; and

(ii) Second, to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

5.1.3 Adjustments. To the extent any allocation of Net Profits is made under Section 5.1.2(a)(i) or (ii), to the greatest extent possible, such income shall be of the same character as the Net Loss which is being offset.

5.1.4 Allocations in Connection with Liquidations. Notwithstanding the allocation provisions set forth in Sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 hereof, but subject to Section 5.2 hereof, all Net Profits or Net Losses realized in connection with the dissolution of the Company in accordance with Article 8 hereof shall be allocated to the Members in a manner so that the Distributions to each Member pursuant to Section 4.2 and Article 8 hereof shall, to the greatest extent possible, be equal to that amount that each such Member would receive under Section 4.1 hereof if the amounts to be distributed by the Company in connection with such dissolution were instead distributed under Section 4.1 hereof.

5.2 Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 5, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order of priority:

5.2.1 If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 5.2.1 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

5.2.2 If there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable 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 taxable 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 a manner consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 5.2.2 is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

5.2.3 If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or Distribution of the type contemplated by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of income and gain shall be allocated to all such Members (in proportion to the amounts of their respective Adjusted Capital Account Deficits) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible. It is intended that this Section 5.2.3 qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

 

I-1-22


5.2.4 If the allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) to a Member as provided in Section 5.1 hereof would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Net Loss as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Net Loss that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section 5.2.4.

5.2.5 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, 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 interests in the Company 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.

5.2.6 The Nonrecourse Deductions for each taxable year of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

5.2.7 The Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated each year to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-2) for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable.

5.2.8 The allocations set forth in Sections 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3, 5.2.4, 5.2.5, 5.2.6 and 5.2.7 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2(i). Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, 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, 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.

5.3 Tax Allocations.

5.3.1 Except as provided in Section 5.3.2 hereof, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each Company item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated between the Members as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to this Article 5.

5.3.2 Tax items with respect to Company Assets that are contributed to the Company on or before the Effective Date with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Member immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated between the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated

The Company shall account for such variation under the “traditional method,” without curative allocations, as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). If the Gross Asset Value of any Company Asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Gross Asset Value” in Section 2.1 hereof, or if assets are contributed to the Company after the Effective Date at a Gross Asset Value that differs from their tax bases, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any such Company Asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company Asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value under any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the Managing Member. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses and any other items or Distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

5.4 Other Provisions.

5.4.1 For any fiscal year or other period during which any part of a Membership Interest or Economic Interest is transferred between the Members or to another Person, the portion of the Net Profits, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit that are allocable with respect to such part of a Membership Interest or Economic Interest shall be apportioned between the transferor and the transferee under any method allowed pursuant to Section 706 of the Code and the applicable Regulations as determined by the Managing Member.

5.4.2 In the event that the Code or any Regulations require allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit different from those set forth in this Article 5, the Managing Member is hereby authorized to make new allocations in reliance on the Code and such Regulations, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Member.

5.4.3 The Members acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 5 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 5 in reporting their shares of Net Profits, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

5.4.4 For purposes of determining a Member’s proportional share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Net Profits shall be such Member’s Percentage Interest.

5.4.5 All matters concerning the allocations and other determinations provided for in this Article 5 and any accounting procedures not expressly provided for in this Agreement shall be determined by the Managing Member in a manner consistent with the terms and intent of this Agreement.

In addition, the Managing Member may designate such other Persons to act as agents of the Company’s business as the Managing Member shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, and the actions of such other Persons taken in such capacity and in accordance with this Agreement shall bind the Company to the same extent the Managing Member is authorized to bind the Company.

No Member (other than the Managing Member) shall take any action in the name of or on behalf of the Company, including, without limitation, assuming any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the Company, unless such action, and the taking thereof by such Member, shall have been expressly authorized by the Managing Member or shall be expressly and specifically authorized by this Agreement.

I-1-25


(a) to take all actions necessary to fulfill the Company’s purpose set forth in Section 1.4;

(b) to negotiate, enter into, perform, modify, extend, terminate, amend, waive, renegotiate, and/or carry out any contracts and agreements of any kind and nature, including, without limitation, contracts and agreements with any Person, including any Member or Assignee, or any Affiliate thereof (provided that any contract or agreement with any Member or Affiliate of a Member shall be on commercially reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company than might be available from independent third parties as reasonably determined by the Managing Member, unless otherwise approved by a Majority of Non-Managing Members), or any other agent of the Company, as the Managing Member deems necessary or advisable;

(c) to, from time to time, employ, engage, hire, or otherwise secure the services of such Persons, including any Member or any Affiliate thereof (provided that any such engagement or employment of a Member or Affiliate of a Member shall be approved by the other Member, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), as the Managing Member may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the business of the Company;

(d) to exercise any and all rights on behalf of the Company;

6.3 Reimbursement and Remuneration. The Managing Member shall not be compensated for acting in such capacity, but shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses including the Managing Member’s reasonably allocated overhead expenses incurred in

 

I-1-26


furtherance of the business or management of the Company. Distributions received by the Members pursuant to Articles 4 and 8 are not, and shall not be deemed to be, remuneration within the meaning of this Section 6.3.

6.4 Reliance by Third Parties. Any Person dealing with the Company or the Managing Member may rely upon a certificate signed by the Managing Member (or any one or more of its agents designated by the Managing Member for such purpose or given such authority) as to:

6.4.1 The identity of the Managing Member, any Member of the Company or any Officer;

6.4.2 The existence or non-existence of any facts which constitute a condition precedent to acts by the Managing Member or in any other manner germane to the affairs of the Company;

6.4.3 The Persons who are authorized to execute and deliver any instrument or document for or on behalf of the Company; or

6.4.4 Any act or failure to act by the Company or as to any other matter whatsoever involving the Company or any Member.

6.5 Records and Reports; Fiscal Year.

6.5.1 The Managing Member shall cause to be kept (and made available to each Member), at the principal place of business of the Company, or at such other location as the Managing Member shall reasonably deem appropriate, full and proper ledgers, other books of account, and records of all receipts and disbursements, other financial activities, and the internal affairs of the Company for at least the current and past four fiscal years.

6.5.2 The Members agree that the books of the Company shall be kept for accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, and shall be kept for tax reporting purposes in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code. Subject to Code Section 448, the books of the Company may be kept on such other methods of accounting for tax and financial reporting purposes as may be determined by the Managing Member. The fiscal year of the Company shall end on December 31 of each year.

6.5.3 Members (personally or through an authorized representative) may, for purposes reasonably related to their Interests, examine and copy (at their own cost and expense) the books and records of the Company at all reasonable business hours.

6.6 Indemnification and Liability.

6.6.1 The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Managing Member, each of the Members and all officers and agents of the Company (each an “Indemnitee”) to the full extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities, expenses of any nature (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of litigation, whether pending or threatened), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquid or illiquid (collectively,

 

I-1-27


Liabilities”) arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved as a party or otherwise, arising out of or incident to the business of the Company, if (a) the Indemnitee acted in good faith in a manner such Person believed to be within the scope of such Indemnitee’s authority and in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Company, and (b) the Indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. The termination of an action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption or otherwise constitute evidence that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in clauses (a) or (b) above. For purposes of this Section 6.6, reasonable reliance upon the advice of legal counsel shall raise a rebuttable presumption of “good faith.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing indemnity shall not extend to any Liabilities arising from a Member’s breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or acknowledgements in Section 9.2 hereof.

6.6.2 Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this Section 6.6 shall be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of a satisfactory written commitment by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.6.

6.6.3 The indemnification provided by this Section 6.6 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or equity or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

6.6.4 Any indemnification provided hereunder shall be satisfied solely out of the Company Assets. No Member shall be subject to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.

6.6.5 No Indemnitee shall be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.6 by reason of the fact that 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.

6.6.6 Except as set forth in Section 6.6.3 hereof, the provisions of this Section 6.6 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees only and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Person.

6.6.7 None of the Officers of the Company, the Managing Member or any Member (except as provided in Section 9.2.4(b) hereof) shall be liable to the Company or to any other Member for any losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of such Person if (i) such Person acted in good faith in a manner such Person believed to be within the scope of such Person’s authority and in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Company, and (ii) such Person’s conduct did not constitute fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or a material breach of this Agreement.

 

I-1-28


6.6.8 The Managing Member is hereby authorized on behalf of the Company to cause the Company to indemnify, hold harmless and release any agents and/or advisors of the Company, the Managing Member and the Company’s Affiliates, to the same extent provided with respect to the Indemnitees in this Section 6.6.

6.6.9 To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Members have duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, any Member or other Person bound by the terms of this Agreement, such Members acting in good faith in accordance with this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company, any other Member, or any such other Person for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by all parties hereto to modify to that extent such other duties and liabilities to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law.

6.6.10 Each Member shall have a duty to act in good faith. Subject to the foregoing sentence, but notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise applicable law, whenever a Member or the Members are required or permitted to make a decision, take or approve an action, or omit to do any of the foregoing: (a) “in its discretion,” under a similar grant of authority or latitude, or without an express standard of behavior (including, without limitation, standards such as “reasonable”), then each Member shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors, including its own, as it desires, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty or obligation to consider any other interests or factors whatsoever (other than the duty to act in good faith), or (b) with an express standard of behavior (including, without limitation, standards such as “reasonable”), then each Member shall comply with such express standard but shall not be subject to any other, different or additional standard (other than the standard of good faith).

6.7 Other Activities. Each Member and its Affiliates may engage or invest in, and devote its and their time to, any other business venture or activity of any nature and description, whether or not such activities are considered competitive with the Company (the “Right to Compete”), and neither the Company nor any other Member shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to such other venture or activity of any Member (or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom), and the pursuit of such other venture or activity shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. The Right to Compete of each Member and its Affiliates does not require the notice to, approval from, or other sharing with, any of the other Members or the Company. The legal doctrines of “corporate opportunity,” “business opportunity” and similar doctrines shall not be applied to any such competitive venture or activity of a Member or its Affiliates. No Member or its Affiliates shall have any obligation to the Company or its other Members with respect to any opportunity.

ARTICLE 7

INTERESTS AND TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

7.1 Transfers and Withdrawals.

7.1.1 Generally. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise permitted in this Article 7, or approved by the Managing Member, which approval may be

 

I-1-29


withheld by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion, no Member nor any Assignees or Substitute Member may (a) Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest or Economic Interest (or beneficial interest therein) to any Person voluntarily or permit such a Transfer by operation of law, (b) withdraw from the Company, or (c) take any action causing the dissolution of the Company prior to its termination pursuant to the terms hereof. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported Transfer which is not in strict compliance with this Agreement shall be void ab initio.

As a condition to the effectiveness of any Transfer that is permitted under this Section 7.1. (including this Section 7.1.1 and the other provisions below), the transferor shall bear and pay all related fees and costs including any Company Expenses. Any Transfer permitted under this Section 7.1 (including this Section 7.1.1 and the other provisions below) shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 7, the recipient or transferee of any Membership Interest or Economic Interest (or any part thereof or beneficial interest therein) Transferred (or deemed Transferred) in accordance with this Article 7 shall be an Assignee only, with only the rights provided in Section 7.3, unless and until admitted as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof.

7.1.2 Between Members. Any Member may Transfer all or any part of its Membership Interest or Economic Interest (or beneficial interest therein) in the Company to any other Member on terms and conditions agreed upon by such Members.

Affiliate Transfers. Any Member may Transfer, without the consent of the Managing Member, all or any portion of its Membership Interest or Economic Interest (or beneficial interest therein) in the Company to an Affiliate (in each case, for so long as such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of such transferor). Except as otherwise provided herein, if any such Member (or Assignee thereof) Transfers all or any portion of its Membership Interest or Economic Interest (or beneficial interest therein) to an Affiliate and such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of the transferor at any time thereafter, then such transferor and such transferee shall be in material breach of this Agreement and such event shall be deemed a Transfer in violation of the restrictions set forth in Section 7.1.1 hereof.

Transfers for Estate Planning. Any Member, without the consent of the Managing Member, may Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest or Economic Interest (or beneficial interest therein) in the Company to a family member of such Member, a trust of which all the beneficiaries are such Member or family members of such Member, to a corporation, general or limited partnership or limited liability company all of the owners of which are such Member or family members of such Member.

7.1.3 Allocations and Adjustments Upon Transfer. In the event of a Transfer of all or any Membership Interest or Economic Interest in the Company in accordance with this Agreement, at any time other than at the end of the Company’s fiscal year, the profits, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company for such fiscal year shall be allocated between or among the respective parties or the Members, as the case may be, in such manner as determined by the Managing Member which is consistent with the provisions of Code Section 706(d) or any applicable successor thereto.

 

I-1-30


7.1.4 Mortgages, Pledges and Hypothecations. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.1.1 hereof, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.1, no Member may mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its interest in the Company without the approval of the Managing Member, which approval may be withheld by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion.

7.2 Further Restrictions. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, unless approved by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion, any otherwise permitted Transfer to any Person shall be null and void if:

(a) such Transfer may cause a termination of the Company for federal or state, if applicable, income tax purposes (unless otherwise waived by the Managing Member);

(b) such Transfer may cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes, provided, however, that if as a result of such Transfer one Member (for purposes of this Section 7.2(b), the “Acquiring Member”) would own one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding Interests, and following such Transfer the Company would constitute a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes with respect to the Acquiring Member, such Transfer shall be a permitted Transfer;

(c) such Transfer may require the registration of such Transferred Interests pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws;

(d) such Transfer may cause the Company to become a “Publicly Traded Partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code;

(e) such Transfer would cause the Company to violate the “private placement” safe harbor of Section 1.7704-1(h) of the Regulations;

(f) such Transfer may subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended;

(g) such Transfer may result in a violation of applicable laws;

(h) such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such Interest; or

(i) the Company does not receive written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Substitute Member’s or Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as appropriate) that are in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member (in its discretion).

7.3 Rights of Assignees. Until such time, if any, as the transferee in any permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article 7 is admitted to the Company as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 7.5: (a) such transferee shall be an Assignee only, and only shall receive, to the extent

 

I-1-31


Transferred, the Distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit, or similar items to which the Member that Transferred its Interest would be entitled, and (b) such Assignee shall not be entitled or enabled to exercise any other rights or powers of a Member, such other rights remaining with the transferring Member. In such a case, the transferring Member shall remain a Member, and shall remain liable for the satisfaction of all obligations contained herein as a Member, even if he has Transferred his entire Economic Interest to one or more Assignees. In the event any Assignee desires to make a further assignment of any Economic Interest, such Assignee shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement relating to restrictions on Transfer to the same extent as any Member desiring to make such an assignment.

7.4 Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, no Person shall be admitted to the Company as a Member except in accordance with Sections 3.5 and 3.10 hereof (in the case of Persons obtaining an Interest directly from the Company) or Section 7.5 hereof (in the case of transferees of a permitted Transfer of an Interest from another Person). Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to retire or withdraw from being a Member of the Company except (i) in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof, or (ii) with the consent of the Managing Member, or, if the Managing Member is the withdrawing Member, with the consent of a Majority of the Non-Managing Members, which consent, in either such case, may be given or withheld in each such Member’s sole and absolute discretion. No Member shall be subject to removal in the Company as a Member. No admission, withdrawal or removal of a Member shall cause the dissolution of the Company. Any purported admission, withdrawal or removal which is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void.

7.5 Admission of Assignees as Substitute Members.

7.5.1 An Assignee shall become a Substitute Member only if and when each of the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) The assignor of the Interest transferred sends written notice to the Managing Member requesting the admission of the Assignee as a Substitute Member and setting forth the name and address of the Assignee, the Capital Account transferred, the Percentage Interest transferred, and the effective date of the Transfer;

(b) The Managing Member consents in writing to the admission of such Assignee as a Substitute Member;

(c) The Managing Member receives from the Assignee (i) such information concerning the Assignee’s financial capacities and investment experience as the Managing Member may reasonably request, and (ii) written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as a Substitute Member) that are in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member (as determined in the Managing Member’s sole and absolute discretion).

7.5.2 Upon the admission of any Substitute Member, the books and records of the Company shall be updated by the Managing Member to reflect the name, address, Capital

 

I-1-32


Contributions and Percentage Interest of such Substitute Member and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address, Capital Contributions and Percentage Interest of the predecessor of such Substitute Member.

7.6 Withdrawal of Members Upon Transfer. If a Member has transferred all of its Membership Interest to one or more Assignees, then such Member shall withdraw from the Company if and when all such Assignees have been admitted as Substitute Members in accordance with this Agreement.

7.7 Conversion of Membership Interest. Upon the Incapacity of a Member, such Incapacitated Member’s Membership Interest shall automatically be converted to an Economic Interest only, and such Incapacitated Member (or its executor, administrator, trustee, or receiver, as applicable) shall thereafter be deemed an Assignee for all purposes hereunder, with the same Economic Interest as was held by such Incapacitated Member prior to its Incapacity, but without any other rights of a Member unless the holder of such Economic Interest is admitted as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof.

ARTICLE 8

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, AND TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY

8.1 Limitations. The Company may be dissolved, liquidated, and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8, and the parties hereto do hereby irrevocably waive any and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the Company or a sale or partition of any or all of the Company Assets.

8.2 Exclusive Causes. Notwithstanding the Act, the following and only the following events shall cause the Company to be dissolved, liquidated, and terminated:

(a) The election of the Managing Member;

(b) Judicial dissolution; or

(c) At any time that there are no Members, unless the business of the Company is continued in accordance with the Act.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dissolution of the Company other than as provided in this Section 8.2 shall be a dissolution in contravention of this Agreement.

8.3 Effect of Dissolution. The dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until (a) it has been wound up and its assets have been distributed as provided in Section 8.5 hereof and (b) a certificate of cancellation has been filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Company, prior to the termination of the Company, the business of the Company and the affairs of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.

 

I-1-33


8.4 No Capital Contribution Upon Dissolution. Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all Distributions with respect to the Company, its Capital Contributions thereto, its Capital Account and its share of Net Profits or Net Losses, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any other Member. Accordingly, 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 the liquidation occurs), then such Member shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contribution 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.

8.5 Liquidation.

8.5.1 Upon dissolution of the Company, the Company shall thereafter engage in no further business other than that which is necessary to wind up the business, and the Managing Member (or such other Person as the Managing Member may determine) shall act as the “Liquidator” of the Company. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the winding up of the affairs of the Company in order to minimize any losses attendant upon such a winding up. In the event the Liquidator reasonably believes that it is prudent to do so, cash or other assets held in reserve may be placed in a liquidating trust or other escrow immediately prior to the termination of the Company in order to ensure that any and all obligations of the Company are satisfied. After allocating (pursuant to Article 5 hereof) all income, gain, loss, deductions and credit resulting the liquidation of the Company Assets, the Liquidator shall apply and distribute the cash proceeds thereof as follows:

(a) First, to the creditors of the Company (including, without limitation, to Members who are creditors to the extent permitted by law) in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company, and to the setting up of any Reserves for contingencies which the Liquidator may consider necessary or appropriate;

(b) Thereafter, to the Members in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances determined in accordance with Section 8.5.2 hereof, by the end of the taxable year in which such liquidation occurs or, if later, within 90 days after the date of the liquidation.

8.5.2 The Capital Account balances shall be determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the accounting period during which such liquidation occurs (other than those made as a result of the Distributions set forth in Section 8.5.1(b) hereof).

8.5.3 Notwithstanding Section 8.5.1 or Section 8.5.2 hereof, in the event that the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of all or any portion of the Company Assets would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator, in order to avoid such loss to the extent not then prohibited by the Act, may either defer liquidation of and withhold from Distribution for a reasonable time any Company Assets except those necessary to satisfy, including the provision of reasonable Reserves for, the Company’s debts and obligations, or distribute the Company Assets to the Members in kind in a manner otherwise in accordance with the Distribution procedure of Section 8.5.1 hereof.

The execution, delivery and performance by such Member of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will not constitute a material breach of any term or provision of, or a material default under (i) any outstanding indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or other similar contract or agreement to which such Member or any of its Affiliates is a party or by which it or any of its Affiliates or its or their property is bound; (ii) its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws or other governing documents; (iii) any material applicable law, rule or regulation; or (iv) any material order, writ, judgment or decree having applicability to it.

9.2.2 Investment Representations.

(a) Such Member is acquiring its Interest for its own account and not for the account of any other Person. Such Member is acquiring its Interest solely for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution or other disposition thereof. Such Member understands that the sale and issuance of the Interests has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), applicable state securities laws or the securities or similar laws of any other jurisdiction whatsoever, and, therefore, the Interests cannot be sold, resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the securities and similar laws of each applicable jurisdiction, or unless exemptions from such registration requirements are available. Such Member understands that dispositions of its Interest can be made only (i) as explicitly permitted or contemplated under the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder and all applicable state securities and “blue sky” laws; and such Member understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the offer or sale of any Interests in any jurisdiction whatsoever or to assist Members in complying with any exemption from registration under the securities or similar laws of any jurisdiction whatsoever.

(b) Such Member understands that it may bear the economic risk of an investment in an Interest for an indefinite period of time, and such Member’s financial situation is such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding its Interest for an indefinite period of time and suffer a complete loss of its investment in the Company.

 

I-1-36


(c) Such Member’s investment in the Company represented by its Interest is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in part. The amount of such investment is within such Member’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to such Member’s total financial resources as would jeopardize the financial needs of such Member in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.

(d) Such Member’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters are such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its purchase and acquisition of its Interest, or it has been advised by representatives possessing such knowledge and experience.

(e) Such Member is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

9.2.3 Patriot Act. Such Member, and to such Member’s knowledge, all persons or entities holding any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever in such Member, are in compliance with the requirements of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) (the “Order”) and other similar requirements contained in the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and in any enabling legislation or other Executive Orders or regulations in respect thereof (the Order and such other rules, regulations, legislation or orders are collectively called the (“Orders”)). Neither such Member nor any of its Affiliates (i) is listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List maintained by OFAC pursuant to the Order and/or on any other list of terrorists or terrorist organizations maintained pursuant to any of the rules and regulations of OFAC or pursuant to any other applicable Orders (such lists are collectively referred to as the “Lists”), (ii) is a Person (as defined in the Order) who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in the Orders; or (iii) is owned or controlled by (including without limitation by virtue of such Person being a director or owning voting shares or interests), or acts for or on behalf of, any person on the Lists or any other Person who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in the Orders.

9.2.4 Other.

(a) Neither the Company nor the other Members have made any warranties or representations to such Member with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Member is in no manner relying on the Company, any other Member or their respective representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences.

(b) Such Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the other Members, each officer, director, agent and Affiliate of the Company and the other Members, and each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities (joint and several), expenses of any nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of litigation, whether pending or threatened), judgments, fines, settlements and other

 

I-1-37


amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which such Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved as a party or otherwise, arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty made by such Member herein or in any other document or certificate delivered to the Company by such Member in connection with such Member’s acquisition of its Interest, or any breach or failure by such Member to comply with any covenant or agreement made by such Member herein.

In the event that such mediation does not resolve the Dispute within ten (10) Business Days, the Dispute shall be resolved at the written request of any Member by binding arbitration using applicable arbitration procedures of JAMS located in San Diego, California pursuant to California law. The Members shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from JAMS. If they are unable to do so within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, then JAMS shall designate an arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the prevailing Member and charge the cost of arbitration to any Member which is not the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 9.15 shall not prevent a Member from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the state of California (to which all Members consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such Member under this Agreement or to prevent irreparable harm and injury.

I-1-40


party shall pay the attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements of the prevailing party in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing party may be entitled.

9.17 Injunctive Relief and Enforcement.

Each Member acknowledges that money damages for any breach by such Member of the provisions of this Agreement would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Member and that in addition to all other remedies the Company and the non-breaching Members shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief for any such breach.

9.18 Appointment of Managing Member as Attorney-in-Fact.

9.18.1 Each Member, including each Additional Member and Substitute Member, by its execution of this Agreement, irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Managing Member as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in its name, place, and stead to execute, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file, and record at the appropriate public offices such certificates and other instruments, and all amendments thereto, which the Managing Member deems appropriate to form, qualify or continue the Company as a limited liability company (or other entity in which the Members will have limited liability comparable to that provided in the Act), in the jurisdictions in which the Company may conduct business or in which such formation, qualification, or continuation is, in the opinion of the Managing Member, necessary or desirable to protect the limited liability of the Members or operate the Company.

9.18.2 The appointment by all Members of the Managing Member as attorney-in-fact shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that each of the Members under this Agreement will be relying upon the power of the Managing Member to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing and other action by it on behalf of the Company, shall survive the Incapacity of any Person hereby giving such power, and the transfer or assignment of all or any portion of the Interest of such Person in the Company, and shall not be affected by the subsequent Incapacity of the principal; provided, however, that in the event of the assignment by a Member of all of its Interest in the Company, the foregoing power of attorney of an assignor Member shall survive such assignment only until such time as the Assignee shall have been admitted to the Company as a Substitute Member and all required documents and instruments shall have been duly executed, filed, and recorded to effect such substitution.

9.19 Force Majeure. The parties to this Agreement shall be excused from performance of their obligations under this Agreement where they are prevented from so performing by revolutions, terrorism or similar disorders, wars, acts of enemies, strikes, fires, floods, acts of God, or, without limiting the foregoing, by any cause not within the control of the party whose performance is interfered with, and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence,

 

I-1-41


the party is unable to prevent. All parties shall perform such parts or aspects of their obligations as are not interfered with by these causes.

9.20 Limitation On Creditors’ Interests. No creditor who makes a non-recourse loan to the Company shall have or acquire at any time, as a result of making such loan, any direct or indirect interest in the profits, capital, or property of the Company, other than as a secured creditor.

9.21 No Liability For Return of Capital. No Member shall be personally liable for the return of all or any part of the Capital Contributions of the other Members. Any such return shall be made solely from Company Assets.

DILUTION OF DEFAULTING MEMBER’S INTEREST

Upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 3.3.1, all Percentage Interests shall thereupon be adjusted as follows:

Dilution of Percentage Interest:

 

1. Determine the percentage, stated as a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions of the Defaulting Member theretofore received by the Company (excluding the Defaulted Contribution Amount) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions of all Members theretofore received by the Company (including the Defaulted Contribution Amount made by another Member).

 

2. Determine the amount equal to: (a) the Defaulting Member’s Percentage Interest immediately prior to such default, minus (b) the percentage determined under step 1 above.

 

3. Multiply the percentage from step 2 above by 1.5, and deduct the result of this calculation from the Defaulting Member’s Percentage Interest. This is the new Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Member from and after the date of the default. The amount by which the old Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Member exceeds the new Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Member shall be added to the Percentage Interest of the Non-Defaulting Member from and after the date of the default.

(iii) Existing Shelf. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the rules and regulations of the Commission permit the Company to use an Existing Shelf Registration Statement to register the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders, the Company shall be permitted to file a prospectus supplement or prepare such supplemental materials as are then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission in lieu of filing the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, in which case each reference in

 

N-7


this Agreement to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a reference to such Existing Shelf Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall only be required to file such prospectus supplement or supplemental materials as are necessary to effect the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities by the Holders within the forty five (45) day period following the beginning of the Supplemental Rights Period.

(b) Demand Registration.

(i) Request for Registration. Prior to the Full Conversion Date for any Registrable Securities, if an Issuance Registration Statement for such Registrable Securities is not effective and the Supplemental Rights Period is not in effect, any Holder who owns (or Holders who collectively own) Registrable Securities at least equal to the Minimum Demand Amount then in effect shall have the right, by written notice delivered to the Company (the “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to Register (a “Demand Registration”) under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act the number of Registrable Securities that the Holder(s) giving the Demand Notice (the “Requesting Party”) shall have requested to be so Registered, which may not exceed the number of Registrable Securities owned by the Requesting Party at the time the Demand Notice is given.

(ii) Demand Notice. Each Demand Notice must specify (i) the legal name of the Holder(s) seeking such Demand Registration, (ii) the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and whether such Registrable Securities are then owned by the Holder or may be issued in the future in exchange for OP Units then owned by such Holder, (iii) the number of Registrable Securities and the number of OP Units owned by such Holder, (iv) the intended methods of disposition of the Registrable Securities to be registered, and (v) the nature of any position, office or other material relationship such Holder has had within the past three years with the Company or any of its predecessors or Affiliates.

(iii) Filing. The Company shall file any registration statement required by this Section 3(b), which registration statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable Commission rules providing for the sale by the Holder(s) of such Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration Statement”) with the Commission within forty five (45) days after receipt of the Demand Notice; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) Demand Registration for Holders in any twelve (12) month period. The Company shall give written notice of the proposed filing of the Demand Registration Statement to all Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in no event less than twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to participate in such Demand Registration and to Register such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request.

(iv) Effectiveness. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep each such Demand Registration Statement continuously effective for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days (such period, in each case, to be extended by the number of days, if any, during which Holders were not permitted

 

N-8


to make offers or sales under the Demand Registration Statement by reason of Section 4) from the date on which the Commission declares the Demand Registration Statement effective or such shorter period which will terminate when (A) all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Demand Registration Statement or Rule 144 or (B) all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement may be sold in accordance with Rule 144. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration under this Section 3(b) (x) until the Demand Registration Statement has been declared effective or (y) if the Demand Registration is suspended for more than ninety (90) consecutive days.

(v) Expiration. The Demand Registration rights provided in this Section 3(b) shall expire on the twentieth (20th) anniversary of the date hereof.

Section 4. Suspension or Termination of Registration Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 2 and 3, the Company shall have the right (the “Suspension Right”) to defer the filing of any registration statement (or suspend sales under any filed registration statement or defer the updating of any filed registration statement and suspend sales thereunder) for a period of not more than 90 days during any twelve month period, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders participating in such Registration a certificate signed by the President or any other executive officer of the Company stating that the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or any of its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event would require additional disclosure by the Company in the registration statement of material information which the Company (in the judgment of management of the Company) has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the nondisclosure of which in the registration statement would cause the registration statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements. If a Demand Registration that is a shelf registration is effective at the time that the Company exercises its Suspension Right, the time period during which such Demand Registration is required to remain continuously effective pursuant to Section 3(b) shall be extended by the number of days that the Company exercises its Suspension Right.

(b) Notwithstanding Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to effect any Registration, or to keep any Registration effective, with respect to any Registrable Securities that might be issued by the Company in exchange for OP Units surrendered for redemption at any time that the Company elects to exercise its purchase rights for cash pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement following receipt of a valid redemption notice for such OP Units; provided, that such election is not revoked unless a registration statement under the Act is then in effect with respect to such Registrable Securities.

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to effect any Registration, or to keep any Registration effective, with respect to any Registrable Securities at any time that such Registrable Securities may be sold in accordance with Rule 144 or otherwise without registration under the Securities Act.

(d) make every reasonable effort to obtain (i) the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement relating to the Registrable Securities or (ii) the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) relating to Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction at the earliest possible moment;

(b) Each Selling Stockholder covered by a registration statement Registering the resale of Registrable Securities by such Selling Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs the registration statement, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such registration statement, and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against all claims, actions, losses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement or prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for inclusion therein.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 and then, only to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) and payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action, or the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action or the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Unless and until a final judgment is rendered that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to the costs of defense under the provisions of this Section 7, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse, promptly as they are incurred, the Indemnified Party’s costs of defense.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be legally unenforceable in respect of any expenses, claims, actions, losses, damages and liabilities referred to herein, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such expenses, claims, actions, losses, damages and liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statement or omission which resulted in such expenses, claims, actions, losses, damages and liabilities, as well as any other relevant

 

N-13


equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities of such Selling Stockholder were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(e) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 8. Information to be Furnished by Holders. Each Holder seeking to be included in a Registration hereunder shall promptly furnish to the Company such information as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the Registration and related proceedings referred to in Sections 2, 3 and 5 hereof. If any such Holder fails to provide the Company with such information within ten days after the Company’s request for such information, the Company shall not be obligated to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration.

Section 9. Transfer of Exchange and Registration Rights. The rights of each Holder under Sections 2 and 3 hereof and the related rights of each Holder hereunder (the “Rights”) may be assigned by each Holder in connection with a transfer of its OP Units pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement if the transferee by written agreement delivered to the Company acknowledges that such transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement as if such transferee were an Investor. In the event of any such permitted transfer, the defined term “Holders” shall from and after such transfer include such transferee.

Section 10. Certain Transactions. If pursuant to Section 8.6(d) of the Partnership Agreement, the OP Units become redeemable for New REIT Shares (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) or other securities, then, except where the context indicates otherwise, the provisions of this Agreement that relate to Registrable Securities and Common Stock shall be deemed to apply to such New REIT Shares or other securities mutatis mutandis and if the Company is not the issuer of such New REIT Shares or other securities, provision shall be made such that the issuer thereof will assume the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof.

 

N-14


(c) Amendment. No supplement, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby.

(d) Notices, etc. Each notice, demand, request, request for approval, consent, approval, disapproval, designation or other communication (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a notice) required or desired to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), and shall be effective and deemed to have been received (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when sent by fax with receipt acknowledged, (iii) five (5) days after having been mailed by certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iv) the next business day after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight mail or courier service, receipt requested. Notices shall be addressed as follows: (a) if to an Investor, at such Investor’s address or fax number set forth below its signature hereon, or at such other address or fax number as the Investor shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (b) if to any assignee or transferee of an Investor, at such address or fax number as such assignee or transferee shall have furnished the Company in writing, or (c) if to the Company, at the address of its principal executive offices and addressed to the attention of the President, or at such other address or fax number as the Company shall have furnished to the Investors or any assignee or transferee. Any notice or other communication required to be given hereunder to a Holder in connection with a registration may instead be given to the designated representative of such Holder.

(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which may be executed by fewer than all of the parties hereto (provided that each party executes one or more counterparts), each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

(f) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

(g) Section Titles. Section titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of the Agreement as set forth in the text.

(h) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(i) Remedies. The Company and the Investors acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that the Company and each Holder, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of another party under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

(j) Attorneys’ Fees. If the Company or any Holder brings an action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party in the action shall be entitled to

 

N-15


recover its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.

Attention: [                                        ]

 

  Re: [INSERT NAME OF PROPERTY] (the “Property”)

Ladies & Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Formation and Contribution Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions, dated as of [                    ], 2008 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. (“NHP”), Pacific Medical Buildings LLC, and [INSERT NAME OF APPLICABLE TRANSFEROR], among others. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth for the same in the Contribution Agreement.

In connection with the Closing of the Contribution Transaction expected to occur [on or about [INSERT EXPECTED CLOSING DATE]] with respect to the Property, the undersigned has expressed an interest in receiving Class A Partnership Units (“OP Units”) in [INSERT LEGAL NAME OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP] (the “Operating Partnership”). In order to allow you to determine whether the undersigned meets the suitability standards for an investment in OP Units, the undersigned hereby represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:

1. The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the undersigned is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in OP Units.

2. The undersigned is familiar with the term “Accredited Investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

3. The undersigned (a) has received and reviewed the Private Placement Memorandum, dated                     , 20[    ], relating to the OP Units[, including, the supplement thereto dated              ]([collectively,] the “PPM”), and (b) has had access to such additional financial and other information, and been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the Operating Partnership and NHP, and to receive

 

O-1-1


answers to those questions, as the undersigned has deemed necessary in connection with its proposed acquisition of OP Units pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.

4. The undersigned (a) acknowledges that the OP Units, and shares of NHP stock that may be issued upon redemption of OP Units, will be acquired in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Act, and that neither the OP Units nor the NHP shares have not been registered and, notwithstanding NHP’s obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, may never be registered under the Act, and (b) agrees not to offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the OP Units (other than in a redemption of OP Units pursuant to the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement) or the shares of NHP stock that may be issued upon redemption of OP Units, in the absence of registration under the Act, unless the undersigned delivers to NHP and the Operating Partnership an opinion of counsel satisfactory to NHP and the Operating Partnership, in form and substance satisfactory to NHP and the Operating Partnership, to the effect that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration under the Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

5.

Further, the undersigned understands that NHP or the Operating Partnership may be required to report the offering in public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to various state securities or “blue sky” regulators.

6. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the OP Units will be in the form of physical certificates and that unless and until such securities shall have been registered under the Act, the certificates will bear a legend to the following effect:

IN ADDITION, THE SECURITY EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF

8. With respect to legal, tax, accounting, financial and other considerations involved in the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, including an investment in OP Units, the undersigned is not relying on NHP or the Operating Partnership (or any agent or representative of the same). Prior to electing to receive any OP Units, the undersigned has carefully considered and, to the extent the undersigned believes such discussion necessary, has discussed with the undersigned’s professional legal, tax, accounting, financial and other advisors the suitability of the proposed investment in OP Units.

9. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the first distribution in respect of the OP Units acquired at Closing shall be prorated based on the portion of the quarterly period in respect of which such distribution is paid that the undersigned held such OP Units.

PLEDGE AGREEMENT (INDEMNIFICATION)

See attached.

 

Q-1-1


OP UNIT PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

(Indemnification Obligations of [Name of Transferor])

This OP UNIT PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of             , 20     (the “Effective Date”) by and between                      (“Pledgor”), and Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“NHP”) and NHP/PMB, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and together with NHP, collectively, the “Secured Party”).

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to that certain Formation and Contribution and Joint Escrow Instructions dated as of February 25, 2008 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among NHP, Pacific Medical Buildings LLC (“PMB”) and each of the parties identified as “Transferors” therein, each Transferor agreed to engage in a “Property Contribution” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) or an “Investment Entity Transaction” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement.

B. Pledgor is a “Transferor Party” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) of [Name of Transferor] (the “Identified Transferor”), a Transferor under the Contribution Agreement and is the holder of certain Class A Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership. For purposes of this Agreement, “Class A Partnership Units” shall have the meaning set forth in the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of NHP/PMB, L.P. (as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “LP Agreement”).

C. The Contribution Agreement provides, among other things, that the Identified Transferor, individually and not jointly with the other Transferors or PMB, shall indemnify NHP and the Operating Partnership for certain “Claims” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) under Section 14.2 of the Contribution Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Contribution Agreement (the “Identified Transferor Indemnity Obligations”).

D. As security for such Identified Transferor Indemnity Obligations, as of the “Closing Date” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) with respect to the “Property” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) owned or leased by the Identified Transferor, the Contribution Agreement requires that Identified Transferor cause (a) each Transferor Party of the Identified Transferor receiving solely Class A Partnership Units to pledge Class A Partnership Units with a “Market Value” (as defined in the LP Agreement), as of such Closing Date, equal to such Transferor Party’s “Allocable Share” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) multiplied by the “Secured Amount” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), (b) each Transferor Party of the Identified Transferor receiving solely cash to deposit a portion of the cash to be received by such Transferor Party equal to such Transferor Party’s Allocable Share multiplied by the Secured Amount in an indemnification escrow account and (c) each Transferor Party of the Identified Transferor receiving both Class A Partnership Units and cash to (1) pledge Class A Partnership Units with a Market Value, as of such Closing Date, equal to such Transferor Party’s “OP Unit Percentage” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) multiplied by such Transferor

 

Q-1-2


Party’s Allocable Share multiplied by the Secured Amount, and (2) deposit cash equal to its “Cash Percentage” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) multiplied by its Allocable Share multiplied by the Secured Amount in an indemnification escrow account, for the protection of NHP and Operating Partnership pursuant to a separate agreement.

E. In order to satisfy in part Identified Transferor’s obligations under the Contribution Agreement as described in Recital D above, the parties have agreed that Pledgor shall pledge certain Class A Partnership Units held by Pledgor, upon and subject to the terms hereof.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. Pledge. As security for the prompt payment of the Secured Obligations (as hereinafter defined), Pledgor hereby pledges, hypothecates, endorses, assigns, transfers, sets over and delivers and hereby grants to Secured Party a continuing general lien and a security interest in all interests now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by Pledgor in the following items of property, wherever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising (the “Collateral”):

(a) the [                    ] Class A Partnership Units represented by Certificate Number [    ] issued to Pledgor by the Operating Partnership (the “Pledged OP Units”);

(b) all “REIT Shares” (as defined in the LP Agreement) issued in redemption of, or exchange for, any or all of the Pledged OP Units (the “Pledged Common Stock”) under the LP Agreement;

(c) all payments, distributions, products, rents, issues, profits, replacements, additions, parts, appurtenances, accessions, substitutions and replacements of or for any of the foregoing items of property, including all rights, claims and interests into which any of such property may at any time be converted by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise and all cash paid in redemption of, or exchange for, any or all of the Pledged OP Units under the LP Agreement or the Pledged Common Stock; and

(d) all proceeds of the foregoing.

2. Secured Obligations. The Collateral secures:

(a) the satisfaction of the Identified Transferor Indemnity Obligations in cash and when due, if at all.

(b) all liability of Pledgor under this Agreement;

(c) reimbursement of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in asserting, enforcing or protecting a claim in respect of any of the obligations set forth in the foregoing clause (a) or (b) above or the Collateral in any bankruptcy case or

 

Q-1-3


insolvency, receivership, dissolution or liquidation proceeding in which Pledgor may be the debtor or to which Pledgor may be subject, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; and

(d) all reasonable collection costs and enforcement expenses incurred by Secured Party in collecting or otherwise enforcing payment of any of the obligations set forth in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) above or in retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on any Collateral or otherwise exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement.

The foregoing obligations are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Secured Obligations.”

3. Delivery of Instruments. All certificates representing the Collateral shall be delivered to Secured Party on the Effective Date or, if acquired thereafter, immediately upon acquisition thereof and without any notice or demand, in form suitable for transfer by delivery accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank or with appropriate endorsements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.6 or 8.7 of the LP Agreement, all Pledged Common Stock and all cash payable by Secured Party in respect of the redemption of, or exchange for, the Collateral, in whole or in part, shall be delivered directly to Secured Party, to be held by Secured Party as part of the Collateral, and all such Pledged Common Stock and cash delivered to Secured Party shall be deemed to have been delivered to Pledgor in accordance with the terms of Section 8.6 or 8.7 of the LP Agreement in satisfaction of the obligation to make such delivery as therein set forth, and neither such delivery to Secured Party nor any exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party under this Section 3 or any other provision of this Agreement shall in any manner constitute a breach of or a default under any provision of the LP Agreement.

4. Further Assurances. Pledgor will promptly and in any event within five (5) business days after request by Secured Party, execute and deliver all reasonable instruments and documents (including assignments, transfer documents and transfer notices, financing statements and other lien notices), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, and take all other reasonable actions which are necessary in order to create, maintain, perfect, ensure the first priority of, protect, or enforce the security interests in the Collateral granted in Section 1 hereof, to enable Secured Party or any other successor of Secured Party with respect to the Secured Obligations to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral, to protect the Collateral against the rights, claims or interests of third persons, or to effect or to assure further the provisions of this Agreement, and Pledgor agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith; provided, however, that Pledgor shall not be required to reimburse Secured Party for any such costs and expenses incurred on and as of the Effective Date in connection with this Agreement in order to initially create and/or perfect the security interests in the Pledged OP Units granted in Section 1 hereof.

5. Survival of Security Interests. Except as provided in Section 11 hereof or as otherwise required by law, the security interest granted hereby shall, unless released in writing by Secured Party, remain enforceable as security for the Secured Obligations until the Secured Obligations (other than any indemnification and other obligations of Pledgor under this

 

Q-1-4


Agreement that by their terms survive termination of this Agreement document and are not then due and payable (such obligations, the “Unmatured Surviving Obligations”) shall have been indefeasibly discharged and paid in full or the obligation of the Identified Transferor for the Identified Transferor Indemnity Obligations have expired or been terminated in accordance with the Contribution Agreement.

If the Collateral, or any part thereof or any interest therein, is purported to be sold, transferred, exchanged, redeemed, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in violation of this subsection (c), such sale, transfer, exchange, hypothecation or other disposition shall be null and void, ab initio, and of no force or effect with respect to Secured Party.

(d) Financing Statements. Pledgor hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as Secured Party may

 

Q-1-7


determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to Secured Party in connection herewith. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in any security agreement or pledge agreement entered into by the parties in connection herewith or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to Secured Party in connection herewith.

(e) Substituted Performance. Secured Party, acting alone, may at any time (but shall not be obligated to) (i) perform any of the obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement if Pledgor fails to perform such obligation within ten (10) days after written demand by Secured Party and (ii) after ten (10) days written notice by Secured Party to Pledgor (or such lesser notice, or no notice, as Secured Party may give if Secured Party determines in good faith that its rights or security may be impaired by providing any more notice before taking the specified actions) make any payments and do any other acts which Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable to protect its security interest in the Collateral, including the right to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any lien that attaches or is asserted against any Collateral and to appear in and defend any action or proceeding relating to any Collateral, and Pledgor will promptly reimburse Secured Party for all payments made by Secured Party in doing so, together with interest thereon at the rate of 8% per annum (not to exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by law), all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, whether or not suit is brought, and all other costs and expenses related thereto (which reimbursement obligation shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations).

8. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) Indemnification Obligations. The failure of Identified Transferor to satisfy the Identified Transferor Indemnity Obligations, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after Pledgor’s receipt of written notice from Secured Party of Identified Transferor’s failure to satisfy the same, which notice shall also set forth with reasonable particularity the nature of such failure; or

(b) Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made by Pledgor in this Agreement or under or in connection with the Pledge Documents proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made and either (i) such representation or warranty cannot be remedied or (ii) such representation or warranty continues to be incorrect in any material respect for ten (10) days after either (A) such incorrectness is acknowledged in writing by Pledgor or (B) written notice thereof is given to Pledgor by Secured Party; or

 

Q-1-8


(c) Other Covenants. Pledgor fails to timely perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any Pledge Documents and such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Secured Party to Pledgor; or

(d) Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Receivership, Dissolution or Liquidation Proceeding. Pledgor is generally not paying its debts as they become due or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding is instituted by or against Pledgor seeking an order for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or seeking liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Pledgor or for any substantial part of the property of Pledgor under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization or relief of debtors and either (i) any such relief in any such proceeding is sought or consented to by Pledgor or an order for any such relief is entered against it, or (ii) any such proceeding instituted against Pledgor remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 90 days; or Pledgor takes any action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this Section 8(d); or

(e) Collateral. The provisions of Section 1 hereof for any reason do not or cease to create a valid and perfected and sole security interest and lien upon the Collateral.

9. Pledgor’s Rights. As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and until written notice shall be given to Pledgor in accordance with Section 10(a) hereof:

(a) Voting. Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Collateral, or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or that would constitute or cause a breach of any obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement or the other Pledge Documents; and

(b) Dividends and Distributions.

(i) Pledgor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends, distributions and interest paid in respect of the Collateral other than any and all of the following (collectively, the “Non-Distributable Collateral Proceeds”): (A) dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of any Collateral, and instruments and other non-cash property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in redemption of or exchange for, any Collateral; (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or (except to the extent attributable to depreciation or amortization deductions) in connection with a reduction of

 

Q-1-9


capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital to Pledgor for any Collateral; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral; provided, however, that until actually paid all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the lien and security interest created by this Agreement; and

(ii) Non-Distributable Collateral Proceeds in respect of any of the Collateral, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to Secured Party to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

10. Remedies; Proxy.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 8 hereof, i.e., after any applicable notice and cure period) and during the continuation of such Event of Default, and concurrently with written notice to Pledgor, Secured Party (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the Collateral as though Secured Party was the outright owner thereof. Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at Secured Party’s place of business, or at any place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as Secured Party may deem fair, and Secured Party may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Pledgor or any right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but Secured Party reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its reasonable discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of Secured Party. PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS SECURED PARTY AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED OP UNITS, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. THE APPOINTMENT OF SECURED PARTY AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED OP UNITS, THE APPOINTMENT OF SECURED PARTY AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS,

 

Q-1-10


PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED OP UNITS WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED OP UNITS ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF SECURED PARTY BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT). NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

(b) If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to Secured Party, in its reasonable discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, Secured Party may, on one or more occasions and in its reasonable discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor.

(c) If, at any time when Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Collateral hereunder, such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the “Act”), Secured Party may, in its reasonable discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 10, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, Secured Party in its reasonable discretion (i) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar statute), (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 10, if any of the Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 10, then Secured Party shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its reasonable discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

 

Q-1-11


(i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any person or entity permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

(ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

(iii) as to the representations required to be made by each person or entity bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about Pledgor and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Collateral so sold for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

(iv) as to such other matters as Secured Party may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be affected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

(d) Pledgor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (c) above. Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor and the Pledged Entity would agree to do so.

(e) Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of Secured Party provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by Secured Party with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair Secured Party’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against such Pledgor in any respect.

 

Q-1-12


(f) Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such obligations.

(g) Secured Party may exercise and enforce each right and remedy available to it upon the occurrence of an Event of Default either before or concurrently with or after, and independently of, any exercise or enforcement of any other right or remedy of Secured Party against any person or entity or property. The rights provided for in this Agreement and the Pledge Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers or privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement.

(h) The proceeds of sale of the Collateral sold pursuant to this Section 10 shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) if any, of Secured Party in enforcing or exercising any rights, powers, privileges or remedies granted hereunder, or in realizing upon any security granted hereunder.

(ii) Second, to the payment of all Secured Obligations pursuant to Sections 2(a) and (b) above.

(iii) Third, to the satisfaction of all other Secured Obligations of Pledgor to Secured Party.

(iv) Finally, after application pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) above and after all the Secured Obligations are paid in full and in cash, any surplus proceeds shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, but if any contingent, unliquidated or unmatured Secured Obligation then remains outstanding, such surplus proceeds may be retained by Secured Party and held until such time as all such commitments have been terminated and all outstanding Secured Obligations have been determined, liquidated, paid in full in cash and discharged.

11. Termination. As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, this Agreement shall terminate (the “Termination Date”) on the date that is Eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date applicable to Identified Transferor under the Contribution Agreement, at which time Secured Party shall reassign and deliver to Pledgor the Collateral to the extent the same have not been sold, as provided herein or otherwise applied by Secured Party pursuant to the terms hereof and is still being held by Secured Party hereunder,

 

Q-1-13


together with appropriate instruments of reassignment and release. Any such reassignment of the Collateral shall be without recourse, with no liability of or warranty by Secured Party and at the expense of Pledgor.

12. Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in the Contribution Agreement, Pledgor hereby waives any right it may now or hereafter have to require Secured Party, as a condition to the exercise of any remedy or other right against Pledgor hereunder or under any other document executed by Pledgor in connection with the Secured Obligations, to proceed against Identified Transferor, any other person or entity, or against any other collateral assigned to Secured Party by Pledgor or any other Transferor Party of Identified Transferor.

13. Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing by (a) personal delivery, (b) reputable overnight delivery service with proof of delivery, (c) United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) legible facsimile transmission or electronic communication, sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person or entity as the addressee shall have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith. Any notice so given shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt or refusal to accept delivery, or, in the case of facsimile transmission, as of the date of the facsimile transmission or electronic communication. All notices given by facsimile transmission or electronic communication shall be followed by delivery of a hard copy of the same. Unless changed in accordance with the preceding sentence, the addresses for notices given pursuant to this Agreement shall be as follows:

14. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement or the Pledge Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

15. Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

16. Applicable Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement, all documents provided for herein and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Any controversy, dispute, or claim of any nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Agreement or the Pledge Documents, including any claim based on contract, tort or statute (collectively, a “Dispute”), that cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) days shall first be submitted to mediation between the parties. In the event that such mediation does not resolve the Dispute within ten (10) business days, the Dispute shall be resolved at the written request of any party to this Agreement by binding arbitration using applicable arbitration procedures of JAMS located in San Diego, California pursuant to California law. The parties shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from JAMS. If they are unable to do so within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, then JAMS shall designate an arbitrator. The arbitration shall be final and binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 16 shall not prevent any party from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of California (to which all parties hereto consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such party under this Agreement or the Pledge Documents or to prevent irreparable harm and injury. The court’s jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited only to the temporary,

 

Q-1-15


preliminary, or permanent equitable relief sought; all other claims initiated under this Agreement between the parties hereto shall be determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section 16.

17. Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns. This Agreement and the benefits hereof may not be assigned by Pledgor without the prior written consent of Secured Party and any attempted assignment shall be null and void, ab initio and of no force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Pledge Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Pledgor and Secured Party with respect to the security interest governed hereby and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such persons or entities, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless expressly stated herein, none of the provisions of the LP Agreement or any documents given in connection therewith shall be superseded, changed, affected or impaired hereby; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the LP Agreement, Secured Party hereby consents to the pledge and security interest provided for herein.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

20. Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Pledge Documents, Pledgor shall not be personally liable under this Agreement or the other Pledge Documents for the Secured Obligations, except to the extent of Pledgor’s interest in the Collateral, and the sole recourse of Secured Party against Pledgor under this Agreement or the other Pledge Documents for any Secured Obligations shall be against the Collateral, whether by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or other remedies set forth in the Pledge Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. The foregoing limitation of liability shall not, however, prejudice the rights of Secured Party to:

(a) Name Pledgor as a party defendant in any action, proceeding, reference or arbitration, in each case, however, subject to the limitations above.

(b) Assert any unpaid Secured Obligations as a defense or offset to or against any claim or cause of action made or alleged against Secured Party by Pledgor; or

(c) Exercise self-help remedies such as setoff or foreclosure against the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or any other collateral given as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement.

See attached.

 

Q-2-1


CASH INDEMNIFICATION ESCROW AGREEMENT1

(Indemnification Obligations of [Name of Transferor])

This CASH INDEMNIFICATION ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is hereby made and entered into as of [                    ] by and among NHP/PMB, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Operating Partnership”), Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“NHP”), each person listed on Schedule A hereto (each, a “Cash Transferor Party”, and collectively, the “Cash Transferor Parties”), Pacific Medical Buildings LLC, a California limited liability company (“PMB”), as representative of the Cash Transferor Parties (the “Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative”) and First American Title Insurance Company, with its office at 2100 5th Avenue, San Diego, California, as Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agent”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the “Contribution Agreement” (as defined below).

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to that certain Formation and Contribution and Joint Escrow Instructions dated as of February 25, 2008 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among NHP, PMB and each of the parties identified as “Transferors” therein, each Transferor agreed to engage in a “Property Contribution” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) or an “Investment Entity Transaction” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement.

B. Cash Transferor Parties are “Transferor Parties” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) of [Name of Transferor] (the “Identified Transferor”), a Transferor under the Contribution Agreement and are receiving cash in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

C. The Contribution Agreement provides, among other things, that the Identified Transferor, individually and not jointly with the other Transferors or PMB, shall indemnify NHP and the Operating Partnership for certain “Claims” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) under Section 14.2 of the Contribution Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Contribution Agreement (the “Identified Transferor Indemnity Obligations”).

D. As security for such Identified Transferor Indemnity Obligations, as of the “Closing Date” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) with respect to the “Property” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) owned or leased by the Identified Transferor, the Contribution Agreement requires that Identified Transferor cause (a) each “Transferor Party” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) of the Identified Transferor receiving solely “Class A Partnership Units” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of NHP/PMB, L.P. (as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “LP Agreement”)) to pledge Class A Partnership Units with a “Market Value” (as defined in the LP Agreement), as of such Closing Date, equal to such Transferor Party’s “Allocable Share” (as

 

1 This agreement is subject to further revision as may be reasonably required by Escrow Agent.

 

Q-2-2


defined in the Contribution Agreement) multiplied by the “Secured Amount” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), (b) each Transferor Party of the Identified Transferor receiving solely cash to deposit a portion of the cash to be received by such Transferor Party equal to such Transferor Party’s Allocable Share multiplied by the Secured Amount in an indemnification escrow account and (c) each Transferor Party of the Identified Transferor receiving both Class A Partnership Units and cash to (1) pledge Class A Partnership Units with a Market Value, as of such Closing Date, equal to such Transferor Party’s “OP Unit Percentage” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) multiplied by such Transferor Party’s Allocable Share multiplied by the Secured Amount, and (2) deposit cash equal to its “Cash Percentage” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) multiplied by its Allocable Share multiplied by the Secured Amount in an indemnification escrow account, for the protection of NHP and Operating Partnership pursuant to a separate agreement.

E. In order to satisfy in part Identified Transferor’s obligations under the Contribution Agreement as described in Recital D above, the parties are entering into this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative. Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts appointment, as agent and attorney-in-fact of the Cash Transferor Parties for all actions or decisions hereunder, and any action taken or decision made hereunder by the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative shall be binding and conclusive on the Cash Transferor Parties and may be relied upon by Operating Partnership, NHP and the Escrow Agent. The Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith, and in the exercise of its own business judgment.

2. Commencement of Duties. Operating Partnership, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, will transfer to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer the aggregate sum of [$            ] (the “Indemnification Escrow Fund”) from the cash proceeds otherwise payable or distributable to the Cash Transferor Parties under the Contribution Agreement. Upon receipt of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the duties and obligations of each of the parties to this Agreement will commence.

3. Indemnification Escrow Fund. Upon receipt of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall send a notice to the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative, Operating Partnership and NHP acknowledging receipt of the Indemnification Escrow Fund and shall hold the Indemnification Escrow Fund in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Until such time as the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent as provided herein, the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent in accordance with and subject to the following limitations:

 

Q-2-2


(a) Such funds shall be invested and reinvested solely:

(i) at the risk of Operating Partnership, NHP and the Cash Transferor Parties;

(ii) in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee and in such amounts as Operating Partnership and NHP shall designate; and

(iii) in either of the following:

(1) an interest-bearing savings account with a Federally-insured financial institution or institutions; or

(2) such other instruments as may be specifically approved in writing by each of the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative, Operating Partnership and NHP.

(b) Such investments will be made as soon as possible following the availability of such funds to the Escrow Agent for investment, taking into consideration the regulations and requirements (including cut-off times) of the Federal Reserve wire system, the investment provider and the Escrow Agent, and compliance with standard operating procedures of such parties.

(c) An investment made in accordance with Section 3(a)(iii) hereof may be changed to a different type of investment, in accordance with Section 3(a)(iii) hereof, through joint written instructions from the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative, Operating Partnership and NHP to the Escrow Agent. Such change in the designation will become effective upon receipt by the Escrow Agent.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative, Operating Partnership and NHP a statement (the “Quarterly Statement”), as soon as practicable following each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, setting forth: (i) the amount of money remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, (ii) the amount of income or interest earned or accrued with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Fund, if any, during the period covered by the Quarterly Statement, (iii) the amount of diminution of any investments with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Fund, if any, during the period covered by the Quarterly Statement, and (iv) the amount of loss resulting from any sale or redemption of any investments with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Fund, if any, during the period covered by the Quarterly Statement.

(e) Income, if any, resulting from the investment of the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be retained by the Escrow Agent and shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to be part of the Indemnification Escrow Fund.

4. Delivery and Distributions of the Indemnification Escrow Fund. The Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the following:

 

Q-2-3


(a) On the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date applicable to the Identified Transferor under the Contribution Agreement (the “Expiration Date”), the Escrow Agent shall release all amounts then contained in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, including earnings, minus any Pending Amounts (as defined in Section 4(e) of this Agreement) to the Cash Transferor Parties according to their “Cash Pro Rata Portion” (as hereinafter defined) of the Indemnification Escrow Fund.

The Escrow Agent shall release the amounts specified in this Section 4(a) by check to the Cash Transferor Parties, as applicable, at their respective addresses set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. As a condition to the release of amounts from the Indemnification Escrow Fund to any Cash Transferor Parties, the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative shall update (if necessary) Schedule A to set forth the current taxpayer identification number, address and Cash Pro Rata Portion of the Indemnification Escrow Fund for each Cash Transferor Party. The Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative shall provide a copy of such updated Schedule A (if necessary) to the Escrow Agent, Operating Partnership and NHP and such updated Schedule A shall replace the existing Schedule A, become a part of this Agreement and the information therein shall be binding on each Cash Transferor Party. If any information set forth in Schedule A changes for any reason, then the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative shall promptly after becoming aware of such change, deliver a revised version of Schedule A to the Escrow Agent, Operating Partnership and NHP setting forth the correct current information and the effective date of the revised version of Schedule A and such revised Schedule A shall replace the then current version of Schedule A and shall become a part of this Agreement. “Cash Pro Rata Portion” means, with respect to each Cash Transferor Party, the percentage set forth under the heading “Cash Pro Rata Portion” opposite the name of such Cash Transferor Party on Schedule A attached hereto.

(b) Upon the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a notice (a “Notice”) from Operating Partnership or NHP setting forth with particularity the amount of any Claim incurred by Operating Partnership or NHP, as the case may be, on account of any Identified Transferor Indemnity Obligation (the “Claimed Amount”), the Escrow Agent shall, subject to Section 4(c) of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable upon expiration of ten (10) days following the date of its receipt of a Notice (the “Notice Period”), unless it shall have received within the Notice Period a written notice signed by the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative objecting to all or any portion of the claim set forth in the Notice (an “Objection Notice”), distribute to Operating Partnership or NHP, as the case may be, cash held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund equal to the full amount of the Claimed Amount specified in such Notice. If the Escrow Agent receives an Objection Notice, the Claimed Amount shall be resolved as provided in Section 4(b). Contemporaneously with the transmittal of a Notice or an Objection Notice to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the party transmitting the same shall send a copy thereof to the other parties hereunder.

(c) Prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Operating Partnership or NHP of any monies held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative to make such delivery.

 

Q-2-4


(d) If, within the Notice Period, the Escrow Agent receives an Objection Notice with respect to any claim made in the Notice (a “Disputed Claim”), the Escrow Agent shall:

(i) distribute from the Indemnification Escrow Fund to Operating Partnership or NHP, as the case may be, a portion, if any, of the Claimed Amount to the extent the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative acknowledges, and does not dispute, such portion of the Claimed Amount; and

(ii) continue to hold in the Indemnification Escrow Fund the portion of the Claimed Amount relating to such Disputed Claim that the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative disputes, and does not acknowledge, as a liability of PMB or such Transferor (the “Disputed Amount”). The Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Disputed Amount until such time as (a) the Escrow Agent receives a written notice signed by both the party that delivered the Notice setting forth the claim for such Claimed Amount and the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative (a “Joint Notice”) directing the Escrow Agent to release and deliver the Disputed Amount (or a portion thereof) to the person(s) specified in such Joint Notice, (b) the Escrow Agent is directed by written instructions from an arbitrator, following completion of a binding arbitration between the party(ies) that delivered the Notice setting forth the claim for such Disputed Amount and the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative, to release and deliver the Disputed Amount (or a portion thereof) to the person(s) specified in the instructions (an “Arbitration Award”), or (c) the Escrow Agent is directed by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final, non-appealable judgment or order of such court (an “Order”) to release and deliver the Disputed Amount (or a portion thereof) to the person(s) specified in the Order. In any event described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, the Escrow Agent shall release and deliver to the person(s) specified therein, that portion of the Disputed Amount that is directed to be released by such Joint Notice, Arbitration Award or Order, as applicable, which release and delivery shall, to the extent thereof constitute payment against the Claimed Amount.

(e) If, on the Expiration Date, any amount of the Indemnification Escrow Fund is being held by the Escrow Agent pending (“Pending Amounts”):

(i) distribution to Operating Partnership or NHP with respect to a Notice specifying a claim for the Claimed Amount, then the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amounts until they are distributed in accordance with Sections 4(b) or (d) of this Agreement.

(ii) expiration of the Notice Period with respect to a Claim for a Disputed Amount, then the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until it is determined that such Claim is either:

(1) a Claim that is not a Disputed Claim (in which case such amount shall be distributed in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement); or

(2) a Disputed Claim (in which case the amount of the undisputed portion, if any, shall be distributed in accordance with Section 4(d)(i) of this Agreement and the Disputed Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent until such Disputed

 

Q-2-5


Amount is resolved pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) of this Agreement and thereafter shall be distributed in accordance with Section 4(d)(ii) of this Agreement); or

(iii) a resolution of a Disputed Claim, then the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until such Disputed Claim is resolved pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) of this Agreement and thereafter distribute such amount in accordance with Section 4(d)(ii) of this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement shall terminate upon the final distribution of all amounts in the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Escrow Agent shall deliver or distribute all or any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with (1) any joint written notice executed and delivered by and among Operating Partnership, NHP and the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative or (2) the final order of any court of competent jurisdiction which is no longer subject to appeal.

5. Tax Matters.

(a) The parties agree to treat the Indemnification Escrow Fund as owned by the Cash Transferor Parties, and to file all tax returns of such party on a basis consistent with such treatment.

(b) Unless otherwise required by law, the parties hereto agree that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Cash Transferor Parties shall report all dividends, distributions, interest and gains earned or realized on the amounts in the Indemnification Escrow Fund (“Earnings”) as its income and shall report related expenses as its expense. The Escrow Agent annually shall file information returns with the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and provide payee statements to the Cash Transferor Parties documenting such Earnings.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall timely file information statements with the IRS and provide payee statements to the Cash Transferor Parties documenting each Cash Transferor Party’s share of the Earnings. The Escrow Agent may require each Cash Transferor Party to provide the Escrow Agent with an IRS Form W-9 or applicable W-8, and any other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may reasonably request to complete such information returns and payee statements (collectively, the “Tax Reporting Documentation”), and the Escrow Agent shall provide copies of any such forms and documents to Operating Partnership and NHP. The parties hereto understand that if such Tax Reporting Documentation is not provided to the Escrow Agent, then the Escrow Agent may be required by the Code to withhold a portion of any Earnings or payments made to the Cash Transferor Parties. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Escrow Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Cash Transferor Party in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Escrow Agent.

(d) Operating Partnership and NHP shall provide a completed IRS Form W-9 to the Escrow Agent at the signing of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may delay accepting the Indemnification Escrow Fund until such IRS form has been provided. Operating

 

Q-2-6


Partnership and NHP, each separately, covenant and agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless against all liability for tax withholding and/or reporting for any payments made by the Escrow Agent to such indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement.

6. Duties of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person, other than as provided herein. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to anyone by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document.

7. Liability of the Escrow Agent; Removal; Withdrawal. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith, and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person(s). The Escrow Agent shall not be held liable for any error in judgment made in good faith by an officer of the Escrow Agent unless it shall be proved that the Escrow Agent was grossly negligent or acted intentionally in bad faith. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible, may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected, indemnified and held harmless by Operating Partnership, NHP and the Cash Transferor Parties, acting jointly and severally, for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of the signature or endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver a document, property or this Agreement.

If the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to seek advice from outside counsel and may conclusively rely on such advice and may refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all other parties hereto or by order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which is no longer subject to appeal.

 

Q-2-7


In the event that the Escrow Agent shall become involved in any arbitration or litigation relating to the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent is authorized to comply with any decision reached through such arbitration or litigation.

The Escrow Agent and any successor Escrow Agent may at any time be removed at the mutual written direction of Operating Partnership, NHP and the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon such resignation, Operating Partnership and NHP shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative. If, within such sixty (60) day notice period, Operating Partnership and NHP provide to the Escrow Agent written instructions with respect to the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent and directions for the transfer of the Indemnification Escrow Fund to such successor, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with such instructions and promptly transfer the amounts in the Indemnification Escrow Fund to such designated successor. If no successor Escrow Agent is named as provided in this Section 7 prior to the date on which the resignation of the Escrow Agent is to properly take effect, the Escrow Agent or the Cash Transferor Parties’ Representative may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Escrow Agent.

8. The Escrow Agent’s Fee. The Escrow Agent’s fees shall be payable by the Cash Transferor Parties in the amounts and at the times set forth on Schedule B hereto.

9. Indemnification. Operating Partnership and NHP, on the one hand, and the Cash Transferor Parties jointly and severally, on the other hand, shall each indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Escrow Agent, including without limitation legal or other fees arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including without limitation the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises or any action for interpleader. The Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to institute or defend any action, suit, or legal proceeding in connection herewith, unless first indemnified and held harmless to its satisfaction in accordance with the foregoing, except that the Escrow Agent shall not be indemnified against any loss, liability or expense arising out of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement or resignation of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed one-half (1/2) by the Cash Transferor Parties and one-half (1/2) by Operating Partnership and NHP for any reasonable expenses or disbursements incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 8 above) including without limitation the actual cost of legal services should the Escrow Agent reasonably deem it necessary to retain an attorney.

10. Inspection. All funds or other property held as part of the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall at all times be clearly identified as being held by the Escrow Agent hereunder. Any party hereto may at any time during the Escrow Agent’s business hours (with reasonable notice) inspect any records or reports relating to the Indemnification Escrow Fund.

 

Q-2-8


11. Controlling Document. To the extent provisions of the Contribution Agreement are inconsistent with the provisions contained herewith, this Agreement shall supersede the Contribution Agreement and be the controlling document; provided, however, that the provisions of Article 14 of the Contribution Agreement shall control and supersede this Agreement for all purposes, except for the Escrow Agent’s duties.

12. Limitation of Liability. The parties acknowledge and agree that each individual Cash Transferor Party’s liability hereunder with respect to any distribution by Escrow Agent to Operating Partnership or NHP from the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall not exceed an amount equal to (a) the aggregate amount(s) so distributed by Escrow Agent from such Indemnification Escrow Fund, multiplied by (b) such Cash Transferor Party’s Cash Pro-Rata Portion.

13. Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing by (a) personal delivery, (b) reputable overnight delivery service with proof of delivery, (c) United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) legible facsimile transmission or electronic communication, sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person or entity as the addressee shall have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith. Any notice so given shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt or refusal to accept delivery, or, in the case of facsimile transmission, as of the date of the facsimile transmission or electronic communication. All notices given by facsimile transmission or electronic communication shall be followed by delivery of a hard copy of the same. Unless changed in accordance with the preceding sentence, the addresses for notices given pursuant to this Agreement shall be as follows:

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

See attached.

 

R-1


ASSET AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

THIS ASSET AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of <                                  > (“Effective Date”), by the following parties:

“Owner”: <INSERT NAME OF PROPERTY OWNING ENTITY>

“Agent”: PMB Real Estate Services LLC

“Property”: <Insert Name Of Property>

Owner designates Agent as the managing Agent for Owner’s Property. Agent accepts this designation and agrees to furnish the services of its organization for the duties as more completely described below and in the attached Addenda:

 

1. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement (“Term”) shall commence on <Insert Closing Date Of The Property Contribution Transaction>, and terminate ten (10) years after the Effective Date. This Agreement, if not previously renewed in writing for an additional fixed period, may be canceled effective at the end of the Term by either party giving written notice no less than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Term. If not so canceled, the Term shall automatically be extended for additional terms of twelve (12) calendar months each, which shall be subject to cancellation in accordance with the provisions outlined above.

 

  1.1. Notwithstanding the above, at any time during the Term, Owner may serve written notice to Agent of its intention to cancel this Agreement in whole, or to cancel this Agreement only with respect to the “Asset Management Services” (defined below) or the “Property Management Services” (defined below), in each case, for Cause (defined below), provided written notice is given at least sixty (60) days before the effective date of such cancellation. During the 60 days, Agent may cure the Cause, if capable of being cured, or, if the Cause is incapable of being cured within that time, but can be cured within a reasonable period thereafter, commence to cure it and thereafter diligently pursue to cure it, in which case this Agreement shall not terminate pursuant to such written notice unless Agent fails to diligently cure such Cause within a reasonable period. As used in this Agreement, “Cause” means, while acting as Agent: fraud, bankruptcy, gross negligence, willful misconduct, material adverse default (i.e., after customary notice and opportunity to cure) of Agent, its officers, employees or agents, in all cases having a direct, substantial, and material adverse affect on the Property’s business. Cause will be established only after judicial or arbitral determination, provided that Agent may not cure such Cause following such judicial or arbitral determination unless Owner has consented to the same. As used in this Agreement, “Asset Management Services” means each of Agent’s obligations pursuant to Addendum D attached hereto. As used in this Agreement, “Property Management Services” means each of Agent’s obligations pursuant to Addendum A, Addendum B, and Addendum C attached hereto, as well as Agent’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.1(b)-(d) and Section 5.3 below.

 

  1.2. [Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 1.1 above, the cancellation of this Agreement with respect to the Property Management Services will also require the approval of all of <INSERT NAME OF HOSPITAL IF APPLICABLE>, to the extent required under that certain <INSERT NAME OF APPLICABLE DOCUMENT>.]

 

  1.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon: (a) the sale or other transfer by Owner of the Property to an unaffiliated third party bona fide purchaser for value, or (b) the occurrence of a major casualty to the Property so that the Property is no longer in operation and is reasonably expected by Owner to be so for a period of at least eighteen (18) months.

R-2


  1.4. If this Agreement is terminated in whole or in part, Owner and Agent will cooperate in the timely and coordinated transfer of the applicable management responsibilities and the applicable files, keys, plans, specifications, and such other accountings, books and records relating to the Property. If necessary, Agent shall assign such existing contracts relating to the operations and maintenance of the Property as Owner shall require (which by their terms are assignable), provided that Owner or replacement agent shall agree to assume all liability thereunder accruing after the date of assignment.

 

  1.5. If this Agreement is terminated in whole or in part, Agent shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement for its performance of the Asset Management Services and/or the Property Management Services, as applicable, prior to the effective date of such termination (or such later date as is mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto). Termination of this Agreement shall release Agent for liability for failure to perform the Asset Management Services and/or the Property Management Services, as applicable, after such termination (provided that such release shall not apply to any provisions hereof which expressly survive termination).

 

2. Responsibility of Agent. In consideration of the real estate management services to be rendered by Agent under this Agreement, Agent agrees:

 

  2.1. Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts: (a) in the performance of its duties for the Property in accordance with the obligations and limitations set forth in the attached Addenda, (b) to advise Owner periodically concerning any claims (including insurance claims) involving the Property, (c) to ensure that the Property complies with applicable laws and (d) to operate the Property in a manner that shall not disqualify Owner or its “Affiliates” (defined below) from being taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856-859 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as reasonably determined by Owner or its Affiliates (but Agent shall not be responsible to determine such manner, it being Owner’s responsibility to advise Agent thereof in writing from time to time). Agent shall not be obligated to perform such services as not specifically described herein. Agent shall not commence litigation or incur legal fees on Owner’s behalf without Owner’s prior written consent. As used herein, an “Affiliate” of any entity shall mean any entity, company, corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, general partnership, or joint venture, that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with such entity.

 

  2.2. Agent shall maintain accurate records of all funds received and disbursed in connection with Agent’s duties and said records shall be available for Owner’s inspection at reasonable times on receipt of written notice therefore.

 

  2.3. Agent’s accounting records and reports will be provided in Agent’s current standard format (see copy of Agent’s current standard format as of the Effective Date attached hereto as Exhibit A). Owner and Agent may agree to alter the substance and form of reports from Agent to Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall cooperate with Owner to make such modifications to the reporting format as Owner may reasonably request. Agent shall preserve the same for at least seven (7) years after the close of the calendar year to which they relate. Any person designated by Owner shall have access to such records, accounts and books and all other material pertaining to the Property and its operations during business hours on reasonable notice.

 

  2.4. Agent shall be responsible for costs relating to normal accounting required with respect to Agent’s duties under this Agreement. Owner shall pay for any additional costs or expenses that Agent or its Affiliates incur as a result of compliance with SOX or SEC rules, regulations, or laws with respect to the Property.

R-3


  2.5. In accordance with Section <              > of Agent’s operating agreement, Agent shall be authorized to sign, on Owner’s behalf, certain of the tenant space leases without Owner’s co-signature.

 

3. Responsibilities of Owner. In consideration of the real estate management services to be rendered by Agent under this Agreement, Owner agrees:

 

  3.1. Owner shall, if applicable and if Agent reasonably deems it necessary, promptly furnish Agent with all documents and records as needed by Agent for the efficient management of the Property, including all leases, amendments and correspondence related thereto; the status of rental payments; mortgage loan information and payment instructions; copies of service contracts in effect; and all applicable insurance policies.

 

  3.2. Owner shall promptly provide Agent with all necessary funds for Agent to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. If Owner has not provided said funds within seven (7) days after Agent’s written request, Agent may, at Agent’s sole option and in addition to all other remedies available to Agent, terminate this Agreement, provided that such termination shall occur prior to Owner’s delivery of such funds. Agent shall not be required to advance funds for Owner’s account.

 

4. Termination of Property Manager. At any time during the Term, Owner may serve written notice to Agent of its intention to cause Agent to replace the “Property Manager” (defined in Addendum A hereto) due to such person’s failure to perform in a reasonable, professional manner in accordance with industry standards, as reasonably determined by Owner. [To the extent required under that certain <INSERT NAME OF APPLICABLE DOCUMENT>, Owner shall first obtain the consent of <INSERT NAME OF HOSPITAL IF APPLICABLE>. If <INSERT NAME OF HOSPITAL IF APPLICABLE> so consents, Agent shall contact <INSERT NAME OF HOSPITAL IF APPLICABLE>, to the extent required under that certain <INSERT NAME OF APPLICABLE DOCUMENT>, to request its consent to such replacement within thirty (30) days of receipt of such consent and Owner’s notice.] Agent must replace the Property Manager within sixty (60) days of receiving each such required consent.

 

5. Insurance and Indemnification. Agent shall not be responsible for the type, amount, or sufficiency of insurance coverage on the Property.

 

  5.1. Except for matters involving Agent’s Cause, Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and its members, partners, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims, costs, expenses, demands, attorney’s fees, suits, liabilities, judgments and damages arising from or connected with the management of Property by Agent of the performance or exercise of any of the duties, obligations, powers or authorities granted to Agent under this Agreement; Owner shall promptly reimburse Agent for any monies Agent is required to pay whatsoever for items covered by this Section 5, and such obligation for reimbursement shall survive termination of this Agreement. Owner’s obligations under this Section 5.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement but shall not apply to any claim that relates to acts occurring after the date of termination.

 

  5.2. Agent shall indemnify, defend, and hold Owner and its members, partners, officers, employees and agents harmless from all claims, costs, expenses, demands, attorneys’ fees, suits, liabilities, judgments, and damages arising from or connected with any breach or default by Agent of its obligations under this Agreement which would constitute Cause and entitle Owner to terminate this Agreement. Such obligations of Agent shall: (a) apply without regard to whether this Agreement is actually terminated, and (b) survive termination of this Agreement. In addition, if this Agreement is terminated in whole or in part pursuant to Sections 1.1 above or 7.1 below, Agent shall indemnify, defend, and hold Owner harmless from all claims, costs, expenses, demands, attorneys’ fees, suits, liabilities, judgments, and damages arising from or connected with such termination;

provided, however, that the total costs payable by Agent pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the total amount of fees paid to Agent by Owner hereunder with respect to the Property for the twenty-four (24) month period immediately preceding such termination pursuant to this Agreement.

 

  5.3. Owner shall obtain and maintain insurance for the Property in forms and coverage amounts of at least the forms and coverage amounts as are customary for similar medical office buildings.

  5.5. At all times during the continuance of this Agreement all bodily injury, property damage and personal injury insurance carried by Owner on Property shall, without cost to Agent, extend to, insure and indemnify Agent, as well as Owner, by endorsement of such insurance coverage to specifically name Agent as an additional insured.

 

  5.6. Copies of all insurance coverage and endorsements required under this Agreement shall be delivered promptly to each party as required.

 

6. Termination Accounting. If any payments for Owner’s account are received by Agent after expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Agent shall promptly deliver such funds to Owner. If and to the extent there are not sufficient funds in Owner’s account to cover costs relating to the period before such expiration or earlier termination, Owner shall be solely responsible to pay same. Owner shall pay Agent reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent at Owner’s direction after expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Agent shall deliver to Owner all written reports required with respect to the Property under Section 2.3 above for any period not covered by previously delivered reports up to the time of such expiration or earlier termination.

 

7. Miscellaneous.

 

  7.1. If a bankruptcy petition is filed by or against either Owner or Agent and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days, or if either makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes advantage of any insolvency act or proceeding, either party may cancel this Agreement on ten (10) days written notice to the other.

 

  7.2.

After deducting from gross monthly collections all expenses, reserves, any sums required by law, and Agent’s fees, the net amount of all funds collected for Owner’s account shall be remitted monthly by Agent to Owner by wire transfer or ACH payment at the address specified herein or as Owner may otherwise direct in writing. Owner and Agent may elect to retain, disburse, or remit funds in such other manner as may be mutually agreed on. Agent shall also render to Owner a statement showing all amounts received and disbursed for the period reported.

On the basis of and consistent with the “Budget” (defined below), Agent shall execute on behalf of Owner, contracts for water, electricity, gas, fuel, oil, landscape maintenance, security services, cleaning, copier rental, sign service, vending, telephone, vermin extermination, trash removal, and other necessary services as necessary (collectively, “Service Contracts”). Service Contracts which are (a) entered into in arms length transactions and in accordance with the terms of the Budget, (b) for a term length of no more than one (1) year, and (c) cancelable by Owner, or by Agent on behalf of Owner, on thirty (30) days written notice without any termination fee or penalty shall not require Owner’s prior approval. All other Service Contracts shall require Owner’s prior written approval. Agent shall obtain written approval from Owner before entering into any contract or agreement with any Affiliates of Agent and in all events such contracts or agreements must be on commercially reasonable and market terms. When taking bids or issuing purchase orders, Agent shall act at all times on behalf of Owner and shall be under a duty to secure for and credit to Owner any discounts, commissions, or rebates obtained as a result of such purchases.

ADDENDUM A – PAGE 2

 

R-10


ground leases affecting the Property, and (b) not to permit any default to occur thereunder on the part of Owner as such “landlord” or “tenant”. Agent shall promptly prepare, deliver, coordinate and comply with any and all reporting requirements under any loan documents affecting the Property (including any and all leasing reports, development reports, accounting reports and financial statements). Agent shall promptly prepare, deliver to Owner for Owner’s approval, and only upon receipt of Owner’s approval, submit to any lender under such loan documents, any and all draw requests and other deliveries required under such loan documents in connection with draw requests and disbursements and, in connection with the foregoing, coordinate the draw request and disbursement process all in accordance with the requirements of such loan documents.

 

  2.7. Agent, at Owner’s expense, shall make or cause to be made such alterations to the Property as Owner and Agent agree are necessary or desirable, or as required by the terms of tenant leases, and replace, or cause to be replaced, damaged, worn, or inoperative equipment and fixtures.

 

  2.8. Agent shall provide Owner, on request from time to time, a completed property questionnaire in the form reasonably requested by Owner.

When an emergency occurs, Agent shall take whatever action it deems reasonable to protect, maintain, or repair the Property and to protect the occupants of the Property, and shall promptly notify Owner of any such action. For the purpose of this provision, an “emergency” means an event that, in Agent’s reasonable belief, will cause immediate threat of damage or injury to persons or property.

 

  2.9. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.9, Agent shall hire, prepare, insure, and enter into contracts with, supervise, and have the authority to terminate any independent contractors (on Owner’s behalf), and Property employees (on Agent’s behalf) reasonably required in the proper operation of the Property. Consistent with the Budget, Agent shall execute on behalf of Owner (without Owner’s co-signature or specific approval), such agreements with independent contractors (collectively, “Independent Contractor Agreements”) as are (a) entered into in arms length transactions and in accordance with the Budget, (b) for a term length of no more than one (1) year, and (c) cancelable by Owner, or by Agent on behalf of Owner, on thirty (30) days written notice without any termination fee or penalty. All other Independent Contractor Agreements shall require Owner’s prior written approval. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall obtain Owner’s prior written approval before entering into any Independent Contractor Agreements with any Affiliates of Agent and in all events such contracts must be on commercially reasonable and market terms. Agent shall, at the time of taking bids, disclose to Owner any other relationship existing or contemplated with such bidder.

Owner shall respond promptly indicating its approval or changes to any recommendation of Agent or its approval or changes to any itemized alternative.

 

  2.11. Agent is not authorized to practice law. If Agent deems legal assistance necessary for any reason, including rent collection or tenant eviction, Agent shall obtain such assistance from legal counsel approved by Owner.

3. Owner’s Responsibilities. Owner shall, if applicable, provide Agent with copies of all documentation and records in Owner’s possession, to allow Agent to perform its duties arising out of this Addendum.

 

4. Annual Budget. Not later than sixty (60) days before each calendar year during the Term, Agent shall prepare and present to Owner an annual budget (the “Budget”) showing in reasonable detail for such year the following:

 

   

With respect to management of the Property, Agent’s month-to-month estimate of (a) projected rents, receipts and other revenues, (b) projected expenses, and (c) projected occupancy levels.

 

   

With respect to capital improvements and replacements of and additions to furniture, fixtures and equipment for the Property, (a) a list of capital needs for such year for improvements, furniture, fixtures, and operating equipment, (b) the projected cost of the items on such list, and (c) the anticipated schedule for the purchase and/or completion of such items.

 

  4.1. Owner shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the Budget to approve it. Owner shall be deemed to have approved the Budget unless within such thirty (30) days, Owner notifies Agent in writing of its disapproval and the specific items contained in the Budget which it disapproves. If Owner disapproves the Budget, Agent shall submit to Owner a revised Budget within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of Owner’s disapproval, and Owner

ASSET AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

ADDENDUM A – PAGE 4

 

R-12


shall then have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the revised Budget to approve or disapprove the Budget as so revised.

 

 

4.2.

If Owner has not approved the Budget by December 1st , Agent shall manage, operate, and maintain the Property to the extent practicable in accordance with the Budget for the preceding calendar year until such time as Owner approves a budget for the then current year.

 

  4.3. Notwithstanding the limitations of the Budget, Agent, without Owner’s prior consent, may expend Owner’s funds not provided for in the Budget for emergency maintenance and repairs of the Property which Agent in good faith reasonably believes to be necessary to avoid the suspension of essential services to the Property or to prevent, or minimize the risk of, injury to persons or property in or about the Property. Agent shall notify Owner of and account to Owner for any such expenditures as soon as reasonably possible after they are made.

 

  4.4. As of the Effective Date, Agent has submitted to Owner, and Owner has approved, the Budget attached hereto as Exhibit A for <INSERT YEAR> with respect to the Property.

 

5. Fees. Owner shall pay Agent as the monthly fee for its property management services hereunder four percent (4%) of all gross monthly collections (including any parking revenues) from the Property, including collections made by Owner or others designated by Owner, but excluding prepaid rents or lease termination payments (except to the extent such rents or payments are applied for such month) (the “Monthly Property Management Fee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on or prior to the Effective Date Pacific Medical Buildings LLC or an “Affiliate” (as defined in the Management Agreement) of Pacific Medical Buildings LLC (collectively, “Affiliates of Agent”) entered into an agreement or other arrangement with any tenant, hospital or other third party, restricting the amount of the monthly property management fee permitted to be passed through to the tenants of the Property to an amount less than four percent (4%) of gross monthly collections from the Property, then the Monthly Property Management Fee shall be reduced to such lesser amount. “Gross monthly collections” means the grand total of all rents (base and additional rent), security deposits (only when applied or forfeited), and other monies accrued that are collected during the month from the Property, or that have been previously collected and are applied during such month. In no event shall Agent’s monthly fee be less than $500, which amount is recognized by Owner and Agent as a reasonable minimum amount for services rendered hereunder. Owner will also pay for any additional reasonable costs or expenses that Agent incurs as a result of the extra expense above standard GAAP accounting required for SOX/SEC compliance in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Management Agreement. All expenses relating to personnel (including independent contractors, building engineers and the Property Managers) who work exclusively at the Property and/or who provide services to the Property and whose time can be reasonably allocated to the Property are in addition to Agent’s fee. Owner shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for any expenses for off-site office equipment or off-site office supplies of Agent, for any overhead expenses of Agent incurred with respect to its general offices, or for any salaries, benefits, or wages allocable to time spent on projects other than the Property. Owner shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for any obligations or expenses resulting from the gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of Agent, nor for the failure of Agent to perform its material obligations and duties under this Agreement.

If there is a conflict between the terms of this Addendum and those of the Management Agreement, the terms of the Management Agreement shall prevail. Initial-capitalized terms defined in the Management Agreement and used in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as defined in the Management Agreement.

  x Construction, refurbishment or modification and/or demolition of portions or the whole of the common areas in or on one or more buildings or structures at the Property.

6. Term. The commencement and termination dates of this Addendum shall coincide with the respective dates as described in the Management Agreement, subject to earlier termination as set forth therein.

 

7. Agent’s Responsibilities.

 

  7.1. Agent shall provide continuous supervision of all construction and administrative personnel required for each construction project, including any contractors, consultants, legal counsel, and accounting personnel. All employees (except independent contractors retained by Agent on behalf of Owner from time to time) shall be employed directly by Agent who shall be solely responsible for fulfilling all payroll tax functions with respect to the same.

 

  7.2. Agent shall use commercially reasonable due diligence in the construction management for each project and furnish the full services of its organization in the management of such project.

 

  7.3. Agent shall review and approve the monthly billings of the general contractor (which billings shall be subject to inspection by Owner at all times).

 

  7.4. Agent shall procure and maintain such public liability and fire insurance for each project as directed by Owner with Owner and Agent named as additional insureds.

 

  7.5. Agent shall not be obligated to make any monetary advance or incur any liability for the account of the Owner.

 

  7.6. Agent shall diligently oversee and coordinate any capital improvements for the Property pursuant to plans approved from time to time by Owner (including any so-called “Required Repairs” or “Scheduled Renovations” as may be required by any loan documents affecting the Property and all approved plans, budgets and schedules therefor).

 

8. Owner’s Responsibilities.

 

  8.1.

Addendum B – Page 1

 

R-15


such insurance policy as available in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Management Agreement.

 

  8.2. Agent shall at no time be obligated to advance funds on behalf of Owner.

 

9. Fees. During the Term and with respect to any construction project which is not subject to a separate development agreement between Owner (or its Affiliate) and Agent (or Affiliates of Agent), Owner shall pay Agent a construction management fee calculated based on all direct construction costs incurred for each construction project (such costs, for each construction project, the “Construction Costs”), relating to: (a) the construction or demolition of buildings at the Property to the extent such construction or demolition is done after the completion of the initial construction, or (b) any second generation tenant improvements at the Property after the initial construction of the Property, whether done by Agent or by a tenant. Owner shall pay Agent (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the Construction Costs with respect to the first Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) of the Construction Costs, and (ii) five percent (5%) of the Construction Costs with respect to any Construction Costs in excess of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000), if applicable. (For example, if the Construction Costs associated with a particular project total $100,000, Agent would receive construction management fees totaling $12,500 (i.e., (0.15 x $75,000) + (0.05 x $25,000)), and if the Construction Costs associated with a particular project total $70,000, Agent would receive construction management fees totaling $10,500 (i.e., 0.15 x $70,000).) The construction management fee shall be considered earned as Construction Costs are incurred for the project and shall be payable monthly (subject to a ten percent (10%) retention) on a percentage basis of total cost versus work completed and accepted. Any commissions, fees, or expenses of any third party construction managers shall be paid by Agent from this fee.

If there is a conflict between the terms of this Addendum and those of the Management Agreement, the terms of the Management Agreement shall prevail. Initial-capitalized terms defined in the Management Agreement and used in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as defined in the Management Agreement.

Strike“ shall mean that (subject to the definition of Non-Qualifying MOB hereof) PMB LLC or its affiliate has commenced construction activities (i.e., has both commenced grading the applicable development site and obtained a construction loan with respect to such development) on a Qualifying MOB with respect to which NHP or the Operating Partnership has delivered either a Preliminary Rejection Notice or a Final Rejection Notice.

Third Strike“ shall mean the third (3rd) time a Strike occurs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) if the actual Total Project Costs for any Approved Property exceed the Approved Budgeted Costs for such Approved Property, then PMB LLC or the applicable Transferor, as the case may be, shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of such excess, and (b) if the actual Total Project Costs for any Approved Property are less than the Approved Budgeted Costs for such Approved Property, then PMB LLC or the applicable Transferor, as the case may be, shall be entitled to retain one hundred percent (100%) of such savings.

2. TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.

2.1 Pipeline Property Term. The parties’ obligations under Section 3 hereof shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the Stipulated Expiration Date; (b) after the Third Strike has occurred, the date on which NHP receives written notice from PMB LLC of the occurrence of such Third Strike; or (c) the date on which the aggregate of Total Project Costs for all Approved Properties, with respect to which a Pipeline Property Contribution Transaction has occurred or for which a Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement has been executed and as to which NHP and the Operating Partnership are obligated thereunder to consummate a Pipeline Property Contribution Transaction in accordance with the terms thereof, equals at least the Stipulated Total Value Amount.

2.3 Property Management Rights of PMBRES. The parties’ obligations under Section 4 hereof shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Pipeline Property Term.

2.5 Contribution Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this entire Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event that the Contribution Agreement is terminated with respect to all “Existing Properties” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), in which event this Agreement shall automatically be of no further force or effect and no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement.

3. RIGHTS OF NHP AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP WITH RESPECT TO PIPELINE PROPERTIES.

3.1 Non-Qualifying MOBs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties shall not be obligated to consummate any Pipeline Property Contribution Transaction with respect to any Pipeline Property that is determined to be a Non-Qualifying MOB. Accordingly, PMB LLC and its affiliates may develop any Pipeline Property that is a Non-Qualifying MOB without regard to this Agreement. In the event that any Pipeline Property is a Non-Qualifying MOB, then PMB LLC’s and/or its affiliate’s development of such Pipeline Property shall not be considered a Strike pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, regardless of whether a Preliminary Rejection Notice or Final Rejection Notice has been delivered by NHP or the Operating Partnership with respect thereto.

3.2 Delivery of Preliminary Notice. During the Pipeline Property Term, PMB LLC shall deliver with respect to each Pipeline Property, a Preliminary Notice to NHP and the Operating Partnership, unless such Pipeline Property constitutes a Non-Qualifying MOB pursuant to clauses (a), (c), (d) or (e) of the definition thereof, in which case the provisions of Section 3.1 above shall apply and PMB LLC shall be under no obligation to deliver a Preliminary Notice pursuant to this Section 3.2 with respect to such Pipeline Property. As used herein, the term “Preliminary Notice“ shall mean a notice that shall specify that such notice is the Preliminary Notice with respect to a specified Pipeline Property, and which shall include the following information (collectively, the “Preliminary Information“): (a) a statement as to whether PMB LLC believes that such property is or should be a Non-Qualifying MOB pursuant to clauses (b) or (f) of the definition thereof; (b) the materials and information identified on Exhibit “C” attached hereto (each, a “Preliminary Summary“), which materials and information

 

S-13


shall include a preliminary budget detailing the projected Total Project Costs reasonably anticipated to be expended in connection with the contemplated development of such Pipeline Property, including certain construction, development and leasing fees payable to PMB LLC in amounts equal to or less than those set forth on Exhibit “E” attached hereto; and (c) PMB LLC’s good faith determination of such Pipeline Property’s FMV Cap Rate, together with reasonable back-up documentation for such calculation; provided, however, that if NHP and the Operating Partnership reasonably determine that any of the Preliminary Information for the applicable Pipeline Property has not been provided or otherwise made available in connection with the applicable Preliminary Notice, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall notify PMB LLC within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such Preliminary Notice of any Preliminary Information which has not been provided or made available and the “Preliminary Acceptance Period” (as hereinafter defined) shall not be deemed to have commenced until such information is provided.

3.3 Preliminary Acceptance. NHP and the Operating Partnership shall have until 5:00 p.m., California time, on the tenth (10) Business Day following its receipt of each Preliminary Notice (each, a “Preliminary Acceptance Period“) to review the Preliminary Information. PMB LLC shall cooperate reasonably with NHP and the Operating Partnership during the Preliminary Acceptance Period to provide NHP and the Operating Partnership with any reasonable information in addition to the Preliminary Information as shall be reasonably requested by NHP and the Operating Partnership to evaluate the Pipeline Property, but the same shall not extend the Preliminary Acceptance Period. NHP and the Operating Partnership shall give written notice to PMB LLC of its initial approval (each, an “Initial Approval Notice”) or its rejection (each, a “Preliminary Rejection Notice”) of such Pipeline Property on or before the expiration of the applicable Preliminary Acceptance Period. If NHP and the Operating Partnership fail to timely provide an Initial Approval Notice with respect to a particular Pipeline Property, then NHP and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have delivered a Preliminary Rejection Notice with respect to such Pipeline Property. If NHP and the Operating Partnership deliver or are deemed to have delivered a Preliminary Rejection Notice with respect to any Pipeline Property, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall have no further rights with respect to such Pipeline Property and PMB LLC and its affiliates may develop or pursue development of such Pipeline Property without regard to this Agreement. If NHP and the Operating Partnership timely deliver an Initial Approval Notice with respect to any Pipeline Property, the provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.5 below shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if (a) the applicable Preliminary Summary with respect to any Pipeline Property contends that such Pipeline Property is a Non-Qualifying MOB, and (b) NHP and the Operating Partnership disagree with PMB’s contention as set forth therein, then on or before the expiration of such Preliminary Acceptance Period, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall give an Initial Approval Notice with respect to such Pipeline Property along with notice that NHP and the Operating Partnership disagree with PMB LLC’s contention that such Pipeline Property is a Non-Qualifying MOB (each, a “Disagreement Notice”). In such event, the parties shall meet in person or by telephone within three (3) Business Days after PMB LLC’s receipt of any such Disagreement Notice to attempt to mutually agree upon whether such Pipeline Property is a Non-Qualifying MOB or a Qualifying MOB. In the event that the parties are not able to agree within five (5) Business Days after any in person or telephone meeting, then, notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 12.15 hereof, the “Dispute” (as hereinafter defined) shall be submitted to mediation and, if necessary, resolved at the written request of any party to this Agreement by binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions of Section 12.15 hereof. If the

 

S-14


parties agree, or it is determined through mediation or binding arbitration, that such Pipeline Property is a Non-Qualifying MOB, then the provisions of Section 3.1 above shall apply. If the parties agree that such Pipeline Property, or it is determined through mediation or binding arbitration that such Pipeline Property, is a Qualifying MOB, then NHP’s and the Operating Partnership’s Initial Approval Notice shall constitute their initial approval of such Pipeline Property and the provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.5 below shall apply. If NHP and the Operating Partnership fail to timely deliver a Disagreement Notice, then each of NHP and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have agreed with PMB LLC’s determination as to whether the applicable Pipeline Property is a Non-Qualifying MOB. The later of (i) the delivery of an Initial Approval Notice or (ii) if applicable, the date of determination that a Pipeline Property is a Qualifying MOB, notwithstanding that PMB LLC contended that it was a Non-Qualifying MOB, whether by agreement of the parties, mediation or binding arbitration, shall be referred to herein as the “Preliminary Approval Date.”

3.4 Pipeline Property Diligence Period. If NHP and the Operating Partnership shall timely deliver an Initial Approval Notice within the applicable Preliminary Acceptance Period, then NHP and the Operating Partnership shall have until 5:00 p.m., California time, on the tenth (10th) Business Day (the “Final Acceptance Period”) following PMB LLC’s delivery to NHP and the Operating Partnership of the last of the materials and information identified on Exhibit “D” attached hereto (each, a “Final Information Package“) in which to complete its due diligence regarding such Pipeline Property; provided, however, that if NHP and the Operating Partnership reasonably determine that any portion of the Final Information Package for the applicable Pipeline Property has not been completely provided or otherwise made available, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall notify PMB LLC within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such Final Information Package which has not been provided or made available and the Final Acceptance Period shall not be deemed to have commenced until such information is provided. Each of NHP and the Operating Partnership acknowledge and agree that (i) it is likely that there will be a significant period of time between the Preliminary Approval Date and PMB LLC’s submission of the Final Information Package in order to permit PMB LLC to fully analyze the proposed Pipeline Property and prepare the Final Information Package, and (ii) at any time after the Preliminary Approval Date, PMB LLC may, in its sole discretion, elect to abandon such Pipeline Property, in which case PMB LLC shall promptly notify each of NHP and the Operating Partnership of the same in writing. During the period from the Preliminary Approval Date to and until the earlier of (A) abandonment of the Pipeline Property by PMB LLC pursuant to the preceding sentence or (B) delivery to NHP and the Operating Partnership of the Final Information Package, PMB LLC shall keep each of NHP and the Operating Partnership reasonably informed as to the status of any proposed Pipeline Property and PMB LLC’s efforts with respect to the same. After delivery to NHP and the Operating Partnership of the Final Information Package, if at all, PMB LLC shall cooperate reasonably with NHP and the Operating Partnership during the Final Acceptance Period to provide NHP and the Operating Partnership with any reasonable information in addition to the Final Information Package as shall be reasonably requested by NHP and the Operating Partnership to evaluate the Pipeline Property, but the same shall not extend the Final Acceptance Period. NHP and the Operating Partnership shall give written notice to PMB LLC of its final approval (each, “Final Approval Notice”) or its rejection (each, a “Final Rejection Notice”) of such Pipeline Property on or before the expiration of the applicable Final Acceptance Period. If NHP and the Operating Partnership fail to timely provide a Final Approval Notice within the Final Acceptance Period with respect to a particular

Pipeline Property, then NHP and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have delivered a Final Rejection Notice with respect to such Pipeline Property. If NHP and the Operating Partnership deliver or are deemed to have delivered a Final Rejection Notice with respect to any Pipeline Property, NHP and the Operating Partnership shall have no further rights with respect to such Pipeline Property and PMB LLC and its affiliates may develop or pursue development of such Pipeline Property without regard to this Agreement.

3.5 Approved Property and Execution and Delivery of a Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement. If NHP and the Operating Partnership timely deliver a Final Approval Notice with respect to any Pipeline Property, then such Pipeline Property shall be deemed an “Approved Property” for purposes of this Agreement, and NHP, the Operating Partnership and PMB LLC shall as promptly as practicable thereafter execute and deliver, and PMB LLC shall cause the applicable Transferor to execute and deliver, a Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement in order to set forth the terms and conditions of the Pipeline Property Contribution Transaction with respect thereof.

If NHP and the Operating Partnership timely object to PMB LLC’s determination of the FMV Cap Rate, then the parties shall meet and confer in person or telephonically in good faith for a period of ten (10) Business Days following PMB LLC’s receipt of such notice to attempt to mutually agree upon the FMV Cap Rate. In the event that the parties are not able to agree on the FMV Cap Rate for any Pipeline Property within ten (10) Business Days of PMB LLC’s receipt of the objection notice from NHP and/or the Operating Partnership, then after such Pipeline Property becomes an Approved Property, if at all, such Dispute shall be submitted to mediation pursuant to Section 12.15 hereof and, if necessary, resolved pursuant to the “MAI Appraisal Procedure” (as hereinafter defined) set forth in Section 12.15 hereof. In the event that NHP and the Operating Partnership fail to deliver a written notice to PMB LLC pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.6, then each of NHP and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have agreed that the applicable Approved Property’s FMV Cap Rate shall be as set forth in the applicable Preliminary Information.

pursued by PMB LLC rather than the “Property Owning Entity” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) and be subject to the terms of this Agreement as a Pipeline Property.

4. EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO PROVIDE ASSET AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FOR NHP PROPERTIES.

During the Pipeline Property Term, so long as no material default by PMB LLC is continuing hereunder and no material default by PMBRES is continuing under any Property Management Agreement entered into pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, any Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement or this Section 4, NHP hereby agrees that, other than with respect to the “Excluded NHP Properties” (as hereinafter defined), PMBRES will have the exclusive right to provide property and asset management services with respect to any new MOBs acquired or developed by NHP or any affiliate of NHP from and after the Execution Date that are located in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington or Wyoming (each such property, a “NHP Property“, and collectively, the “NHP Properties“). Accordingly, NHP shall deliver a notice to PMB LLC and to PMBRES identifying any NHP Properties that PMBRES shall have the right to manage pursuant to this Section 4 and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, each of PMBRES and NHP (or its affiliate that is the owner of any such NHP Property) shall deliver two (2) executed original counterparts of the applicable asset and property management agreement (which shall be substantially in the form of the “Property Management Agreement” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), except that the term shall be limited to the Pipeline Property Term and, if applicable, the “Asset Management Services” (as defined in the Property Management Agreement) may be deleted therefrom pursuant to the last sentence hereof), within the time period specified in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, at the request of NHP, PMB LLC agrees to reasonably consider and waive the exclusive right to manage each NHP Property granted to PMBRES pursuant to this Section 4 if (a) such new NHP Property is being subsequently acquired pursuant to an extraordinary transaction (as opposed to an ordinary course acquisition) or (b) NHP’s acquisition of such new NHP Property is conditioned upon a requirement imposed by a third party to such transaction that such third party (or its affiliates) retain the right to manage such NHP Property following NHP’s (or its affiliates) acquisition thereof. As used herein, the term “Excluded NHP Properties“ shall mean (i) any property leased on a triple net basis to a single tenant that manages and operates such property for its own account and pays all operating expenses, taxes and insurance directly (without the need for any third party property management services), and (ii) with respect to “Asset Management Services” (as defined in the Property Management Agreement) only, the properties known as “South West Washington” and “San Bernardino”, and any other properties for which an asset management fee is not being charged (i.e., passed through) to the tenants thereof.

5.1 Take-Out Commitments. During the Pipeline Property Term, promptly following the receipt of a written request from PMB LLC, either or both of NHP and the Operating Partnership (as required by the applicable “Construction Lender” (as hereinafter defined)) shall deliver with respect to any Approved Property, a commitment (each, a “Take-Out Commitment“ and, collectively, the “Take-Out Commitments“) obligating NHP and/or the

 

S-17


Operating Partnership upon the closing of such construction loan to either (a) refinance (and pay in full) the construction loan provided by the applicable Construction Lender or (b) acquire from the applicable Construction Lender the construction loan with respect to the applicable Approved Property, in each case upon the maturity date therefor or any earlier acceleration thereof, subject to clause (ii) below.

The purpose of the Take-Out Commitments is to allow PMB LLC and the applicable Transferor to obtain construction financing in the full amount of the Approved Budgeted Costs (which amount shall include the acquisition or leasing costs of the real property).

5.2 Maximum Deficiency Amount. In the event that (a) the Gross Pipeline Property Contribution Value of any Approved Property is less than the Approved Budgeted Costs of such Property and (b) NHP and/or the Operating Partnership has delivered a Take-Out Commitment with respect to such Property in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof, then, to the extent that NHP and/or the Operating Partnership refinances the construction loan with respect to such Approved Property or acquires from the applicable Construction Lender the construction loan with respect to such Approved Property, for an amount (each, a “Takeout Amount“) in excess of the Gross Pipeline Property Contribution Value of such Approved Property (such excess, a “FMV Takeout Deficiency“ and, together with such excess for all of the Approved Properties, the “FMV Takeout Deficiencies“), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following shall apply:

(i) until such time as the “Maximum Deficiency Amount” (as hereinafter defined) is reached, the applicable Approved Property shall be contributed to the Operating Partnership or an affiliate thereof in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement, except that the provisions thereof that require and/or permit PMB LLC, the applicable Transferor, or their affiliates to own interests in the applicable “Property Owning Entity” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) shall not apply, and none of PMB LLC, the applicable Transferor nor their affiliates shall be permitted to own any interests in the applicable Property Owning Entity;

(ii) once the Maximum Deficiency Amount is reached, but before the “Overall Cap” (as hereinafter defined) is reached, each Approved Property with a FMV Takeout Deficiency shall be contributed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, except that (A) the provisions of the applicable Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement thereof that require and/or permit PMB LLC, the applicable Transferor, or their affiliates to own interests in the applicable Property Owning Entity shall not apply, and none of PMB LLC, the applicable Transferor nor their affiliates shall be permitted to own any interests in the applicable Property Owning Entity, (B) following such contribution, the applicable Property Owning Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to

 

S-18


obtain a non-recourse loan from a third party financing source in the maximum principal amount that is available at commercially reasonable rates (such loan amount, the “Maximum Available Debt“), and (C) upon the earlier of (1) the funding of such third party loan and (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days after the applicable closing of the Pipeline Property Contribution Transaction for such Approved Property, PMB LLC shall cause the applicable Transferor to purchase from the Operating Partnership Investment Interests in the applicable Property Owning Entity having a value equal to “PMB’s Portion of the Equity Deficit” (as hereinafter defined) by delivering a “Deficiency Promissory Note” (as hereinafter defined) to the Operating Partnership, which Deficiency Promissory Note shall be secured by a pledge of (x) any and all of PMB LLC’s and any of its affiliates’ ownership interests in PMBRES, and (y) any and all of PMB LLC’s and any of its affiliates’ interest (including without limitation any Transferor’s interest to the extent not held solely for the benefit of “Continuing Transferor Parties” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) that are not affiliates of PMB LLC) in any Property Owning Entity, which pledge shall be in a form to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by PMB LLC and NHP pursuant to a pledge agreement in a form to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by PMB LLC and NHP; and

(iii) once the Overall Cap is reached, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that either of the following is in excess of the Overall Cap at any time, (A) neither NHP nor the Operating Partnership shall be obligated to acquire any Approved Property having a FMV Takeout Deficiency and (B) NHP shall not be obligated to make any additional advances under the Line of Credit.

As used herein, the term “Maximum Deficiency Amount“ shall mean that the sum of the FMV Takeout Deficiencies of the Approved Properties for which Pipeline Property Contribution Transactions have closed, shall equal or exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). As used herein, the term “Equity Deficit“ shall mean, with respect to each applicable Approved Property, the amount by which the applicable Takeout Amount exceeds the applicable Maximum Available Debt (which may be $0.00). As used herein, the term “PMB’s Portion of the Equity Deficit“ shall mean the amount of the Equity Deficit attributable to PMB LLC in accordance with the table set forth in the definition of “Operating Partnership’s Share of the Discount Amount” hereof, as of the Preliminary Approval Date, but only to the extent the FMV Takeout Deficiency for such Approved Property exceeds the Maximum Deficiency Amount. As used herein, the term “Deficiency Promissory Note“ shall mean a promissory note in a form to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by PMB LLC and NHP, in the amount of the applicable PMB’s Portion of the Equity Deficit, bearing interest at a rate equal to “LIBOR” (as hereinafter defined) plus one hundred seventy-five (175) basis points, and payable as interest only monthly for a period of sixty (60) months, after which time such note shall be due and payable in full. As used herein, the term “Overall Cap“ shall mean that, at any time, the sum of the total draws outstanding under the Line of Credit and the total principal outstanding under any and all Deficiency Promissory Notes shall exceed the amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00).

6. LINE OF CREDIT.

During the Pipeline Property Term, promptly following the receipt of a written request from PMB LLC, NHP shall, or shall cause an affiliate of NHP to, extend to PMB LLC a Ten Million Dollar ($10,000,000.00) line of credit (the “Line of Credit“) at an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus one hundred seventy-five (175) basis points, pursuant to a loan agreement in a customary form to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by PMB LLC and NHP. Borrowings under the Line of Credit may be used by PMB LLC for any costs incurred by PMB LLC or any affiliate of PMB LLC in connection with the proposed development or pursuit of any Pipeline Property (including overhead costs and expenses of PMB LLC) and shall be payable interest only monthly; provided, however, that if any principal borrowed is borrowed in connection with and attributable to any costs incurred by PMB LLC or any affiliate of PMB LLC in connection with the proposed development or pursuit of any specific Pipeline Property, whether or not such Pipeline Property has become an Approved Property under the terms of this Agreement (including for acquisition costs, leasing costs or development costs in connection therewith) (herein, “Specific Pipeline Property Borrowings”), then such Specific Pipeline Property Borrowings shall be paid from the proceeds of any construction loan for such Pipeline Property upon the initial funding of any construction loan therefor. The Line of Credit shall be secured by a pledge of (a) any and all of PMB LLC’s and any of its affiliates’ ownership interests in PMBRES (the “PMBRES Pledge”), and (b) to the extent of any Specific Pipeline Property Borrowings, at the time such Pipeline Property becomes an Approved Property, any and all of PMB LLC’s and any of its affiliates’ interest in any Transferor of such Approved Property (each, a “Transferor Pledge”); provided, however, that PMB LLC may request that any pledge of its or its affiliates interests in any Transferor of an Approved Property be released in the event that applicable Specific Pipeline Property Borrowings with respect thereto are fully repaid with the proceeds of a construction loan with respect to such Approved Property. Accordingly, (i) in connection with each draw, PMB LLC shall deliver a statement to NHP indicating which Pipeline Property the proceeds of the draw shall be used in connection with, and (ii) in connection with the first draw for the first time, PMB LLC shall include with its draw request, the PMBRES Pledge. In addition, in the event of any Specific Pipeline Property Borrowings relating to any particular Approved Property, PMB LLC shall deliver the applicable Transferor Pledge with respect to such Approved Property as soon as practicable following the date the applicable Pipeline Property becomes an Approved Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The PMBRES Pledge and each Transferor Pledge shall be in a form to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by PMB LLC and NHP pursuant to a pledge agreement in a form to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by PMB LLC and NHP. The entire unpaid and outstanding principal of the Line of Credit shall be due and payable in full on or before the second (2nd) anniversary of the expiration or earlier termination of the Pipeline Property Term (and such repayment obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement and each Closing under a Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement). As used herein, the term “LIBOR“ shall mean, with respect to each monthly period commencing on the date of the first draw under the Line of Credit, the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upward, if necessary, to the next nearest 1/8 of 1%) for deposits in U.S. dollars, for a one-month period, that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time on the date that is two (2) London Business Days prior to the applicable payment date.

7. ROFO PROPERTY RIGHTS.

7.1 Radius Restrictions. For so long as the Operating Partnership and/or NHP, directly or indirectly owns any material portion of any Property acquired pursuant to the Contribution Agreement or any Approved Property acquired pursuant to a Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement (individually, a “Protected Property”, and collectively, the “Protected Properties”), PMB LLC shall deliver a “Right of First Offer Notice” (as hereinafter defined) to NHP and the Operating Partnership in the event that PMB LLC or its affiliates intend to acquire and develop a MOB, or acquire an existing MOB, whether directly or indirectly and whether by fee or by leasehold, to the extent that such additional real property, or any portion of such additional real property, is located in the “Competitive Area” (as hereinafter defined) of such Protected Property (each, a “ROFO Property”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1, the “Right of First Offer” (as hereinafter defined) and the “Right of First Refusal” (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any ROFO Property shall not apply if the proposed transaction with respect to such ROFO Property is an Excluded ROFO Transaction. Prior to seeking or negotiating any third party investments or financial arrangements with respect to such ROFO Property (other than with any hospitals or doctors that may be affiliated with such ROFO Property) PMB LLC shall first notify the Operating Partnership in writing (the “Right of First Offer Notice”) of its intentions, which Right of First Offer Notice shall (a) summarize the transaction that PMB LLC or its affiliates are considering in connection with such ROFO Property (including, without limitation, information regarding the ownership interests or investment opportunities that PMB LLC wishes to offer to a third party financial institution or investor and what interests are likely to be held by doctors and/or hospitals), (b) contain the material economic terms upon which PMB LLC would, in good faith, expect to be able to enter into its contemplated transaction in the market and (c) offer (in each case, a “Right of First Offer”) to the Operating Partnership the opportunity to consider whether it will participate in the contemplated transaction on material economic terms substantially similar to those contained in the Right of First Offer Notice. PMB LLC shall also provide any reasonable additional information that it has with respect to the transaction and such ROFO Property, which the Operating Partnership may reasonably request in connection with its consideration of the transaction. The Operating Partnership shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date upon which it receives the Right of First Offer Notice to notify PMB LLC of its exercise of a Right of First Offer (or to notify PMB LLC of its intention to exercise a Right of First Offer subject to the approval of NHP’s Board of Directors, in which case the Operating Partnership shall notify PMB LLC of its exercise of a Right of First Offer on or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date upon which it receives the Right of First Offer Notice). If the Operating Partnership has not responded to the Right of First Offer Notice within the aforementioned time periods, the Operating Partnership shall have been deemed to waive its Right of First Offer with respect to such ROFO Property, subject to the Right of First Refusal and the other express terms of this Section 7.1. Upon the Operating Partnership’s rejection, or deemed rejection of the Right of First Offer with respect to a ROFO Property, PMB LLC shall then have the right to cause the transaction described in the Right of First Offer Notice for such ROFO Property to occur with any third party, provided that (i) the closing of such transaction occurs within one (1) year of the date on which the Operating Partnership is deemed to have waived its Right of First Offer, and (ii) there are no “Material Changes to the ROFO Terms” (as hereinafter defined) from those set forth in the Right of First Offer Notice. As used herein, “Material Changes to the ROFO Terms” shall mean that (A) the aggregate effective economic terms are less than ninety-five percent

 

S-21


(95%) of the aggregate effective economic terms set forth in the Right of First Offer Notice and/or (B) any other material term is not substantially similar to such material term as set forth in the Right of First Offer Notice. If any transaction with a third party relating to a ROFO Property does not close within one (1) year of the date on which the Operating Partnership is deemed to have waived its Right of First Offer with respect thereto, the ROFO Property shall again become subject to the Right of First Offer. If, after the Operating Partnership rejects or is deemed to have rejected its Right of First Offer with respect to any ROFO Property, there are any Material Changes to the ROFO Terms with respect thereto from those set forth in the Right of First Offer Notice, before consummating any transaction with a third party based thereon, PMB LLC shall provide written notice to the Operating Partnership of such Material Changes to the ROFO Terms (the “Revised Offer Notice”). The Operating Partnership shall then have the right to enter into the transaction upon the same terms as are set forth in the Revised Offer Notice (a “Right of First Refusal”) by delivering written notice of its exercise of such Right of First Refusal within ten (10) Business Days from the date upon which it receives the Revised Offer Notice (or to notify PMB LLC of its intention to exercise its Right of First Refusal subject to the approval of NHP’s Board of Directors, in which case the Operating Partnership shall notify PMB LLC of its exercise of a Right of First Refusal on or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date upon which it receives the Revised Offer Notice). If the Operating Partnership has not responded to the Revised Offer Notice within the aforementioned time periods, the Operating Partnership shall have been deemed to waive its Right of First Refusal with respect to such ROFO Property. If the Operating Partnership has exercised its Right of First Offer or Right of First Refusal pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.1, the Operating Partnership and PMB LLC shall use good faith efforts to close such transaction within sixty (60) days of such exercise upon the terms of definitive legal documents to be negotiated in good faith by the parties (substantially similar to the applicable terms of a Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement to the extent that the proposed transaction is substantially similar to a Pipeline Property Contribution Transaction, if at all) as soon as practicable following the exercise of such Right of First Offer or Right of First Refusal, as the case may be, by the Operating Partnership. As used herein, “Competitive Area” shall mean with respect to a given Protected Property (1) if such Protected Property is located on a hospital campus, the hospital campus on which such Protected Property is situated or any real property located across the street from such campus, and (2) if such Protected Property is not located on a hospital campus, the area located within the one-half (1/2) mile radius of such Protected Property.

7.2 State-Wide Restrictions. During the Pipeline Property Term, prior to seeking or negotiating any third party investments (of debt or equity) with respect to any State-Wide ROFO Property, PMB LLC shall first notify the Operating Partnership in writing (the “State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice”) of its intentions, which State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice shall (a) summarize the transaction that PMB LLC or its affiliates are considering in connection with such State-Wide ROFO Property (including, without limitation, information regarding the ownership interests or investment opportunities that PMB LLC wishes to offer to a third party financial institution or investor and what interests are likely to be held by doctors and/or hospitals), (b) contain the material economic terms upon which PMB LLC would, in good faith, expect to be able to enter into its contemplated transaction in the market and (c) offer (in each case, a “State-Wide Right of First Offer”) to the Operating Partnership the opportunity to consider whether it will participate in the contemplated transaction on material economic terms substantially similar to those contained in the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice. PMB LLC

 

S-22


shall also provide any additional reasonable information that it has with respect to the transaction and such State-Wide ROFO Property, which the Operating Partnership may reasonably request in connection with its consideration of the transaction. As used herein, the term “State-Wide ROFO Property” shall mean any then existing MOB that is to be acquired (whether by fee or by leasehold) by PMB LLC or its affiliates, and is located within the States of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii and/or Montana. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, the State-Wide Right of First Offer and the “State-Wide Right of First Refusal” (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any State-Wide ROFO Property shall not apply if the proposed transaction with respect to such State-Wide ROFO Property is an Excluded ROFO Transaction. The Operating Partnership shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date upon which it receives the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice to notify PMB LLC of its exercise of a State-Wide Right of First Offer (or to notify PMB LLC of its intention to exercise a State-Wide Right of First Offer subject to the approval of NHP’s Board of Directors, in which case the Operating Partnership shall notify PMB LLC of its exercise of a State-Wide Right of First Offer on or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date upon which it receives the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice). If the Operating Partnership has not responded to the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice within the aforementioned time periods, the Operating Partnership shall have been deemed to waive its State-Wide Right of First Offer with respect to such State-Wide ROFO Property, subject to the State-Wide Right of First Refusal and the other express terms of this Section 7.2. Upon the Operating Partnership’s rejection, or deemed rejection of the State-Wide Right of First Offer with respect to a State-Wide ROFO Property, PMB LLC shall then have the right to cause the transaction described in the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice for such ROFO Property to occur with any third party, provided that (i) the closing of such transaction occurs within one (1) year of the date on which the Operating Partnership is deemed to have waived its State-Wide Right of First Offer, and (ii) there are no “Material Changes to the State-Wide ROFO Terms” (as hereinafter defined) from those set forth in the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice. As used herein, “Material Changes to the State-Wide ROFO Terms” shall mean that (A) the aggregate effective economic terms are less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the aggregate effective economic terms set forth in the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice and/or (B) any other material term is not substantially similar to such material term as set forth in the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice. If any transaction with a third party relating to a State-Wide ROFO Property does not close within one (1) year of the date on which the Operating Partnership is deemed to have waived its State-Wide Right of First Offer with respect thereto, the State-Wide ROFO Property shall again become subject to the State-Wide Right of First Offer. If, after the Operating Partnership rejects or is deemed to have rejected its State-Wide Right of First Offer with respect to any State-Wide ROFO Property, there are any Material Changes to the State-Wide ROFO Terms with respect thereto from those set forth in the State-Wide Right of First Offer Notice, before consummating any transaction with a third party based thereon, PMB LLC shall provide written notice to the Operating Partnership of such Material Changes to the State-Wide ROFO Terms (the “Revised State-Wide Offer Notice”). The Operating Partnership shall then have the right to enter into the transaction upon the same terms as are set forth in the Revised State-Wide Offer Notice (a “State-Wide Right of First Refusal”) by delivering written notice of its exercise of such State-Wide Right of First Refusal within ten (10) Business Days from the date upon which it receives the Revised State-Wide Offer Notice (or to notify PMB LLC of its intention to exercise its State-Wide Right of First Refusal subject to the approval of

 

S-23


NHP’s Board of Directors, in which case the Operating Partnership shall notify PMB LLC of its exercise of a State-Wide Right of First Refusal on or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date upon which it receives the Revised State-Wide Offer Notice). If the Operating Partnership has not responded to the Revised State-Wide Offer Notice within the aforementioned time periods, the Operating Partnership shall have been deemed to waive its State-Wide Right of First Refusal with respect to such State-Wide ROFO Property. If the Operating Partnership has exercised its State-Wide Right of First Offer or State-Wide Right of First Refusal pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.2, the Operating Partnership and PMB LLC shall use good faith efforts to close such transaction within sixty (60) days of such exercise upon the terms of definitive legal documents to be negotiated in good faith by the parties (substantially similar to the applicable terms of a Pipeline Property Contribution Agreement to the extent that the proposed transaction is substantially similar to a Pipeline Property Contribution Transaction, if at all) as soon as practicable following the exercise of such State-Wide Right of First Offer or State-Wide Right of First Refusal, as the case may be, by the Operating Partnership.

12.5 Assignment. No party hereto shall have the right, power, or authority to assign all or any portion of this Agreement or its rights hereunder or to delegate any duties or obligations arising under this Agreement, voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

12.6 Severability. Any provision or part of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall, as to such situation and such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of any such provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

12.7 Successors and Assigns; Third Parties. Subject to and without waiver of the provisions of Section 12.5 hereof, all of the rights, duties, benefits, liabilities and obligations of the parties shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors and assigns.

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be deemed necessary and convenient, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

S-29


12.14 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any party hereto brings an action or proceeding against any other party to enforce or interpret any of the covenants, conditions, agreements or provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, charges, disbursements and the fees and costs of expert witnesses.

12.15 Dispute Resolution. Any controversy, dispute, or claim of any nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Agreement, including any claim based on contract, tort or statute (collectively, a “Dispute”), that cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) days shall first be submitted to mediation between the parties. In the event that such mediation does not resolve the Dispute within ten (10) Business Days, the Dispute shall be resolved at the written request of any party to this Agreement by binding arbitration using applicable arbitration procedures of JAMS located in San Diego, California pursuant to California law. The parties shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from JAMS. If they are unable to do so within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, then JAMS shall designate an arbitrator. The arbitration shall be final and binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 12.15 shall not prevent any party hereto from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of California (to which all parties hereto consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such party under this Agreement or to prevent irreparable harm and injury. The court’s jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited only to the temporary, preliminary, or permanent equitable relief sought; all other claims initiated under this Agreement between the parties hereto shall be determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Dispute relating to the determination of the FMV Cap Rate for any Approved Property shall be resolved pursuant to the MAI Appraisal Procedure rather than by the arbitration procedures described above. The “MAI Appraisal Procedure” shall mean that following the procedure described in Section 3.5 hereof: (a) each of PMB LLC, on the one hand, and NHP and the Operating Partnership, on the other hand, shall select a MAI designated appraiser with at least ten (10) years of experience in appraising MOBs (a “Qualified Appraiser”) and shall give notice to the other specifying the name and address of the Qualified Appraiser each has chosen; (b) the two Qualified Appraisers so chosen shall, within ten (10) days after the second Qualified Appraiser is appointed, determine the FMV Cap Rate for the applicable Approved Property as of the relevant date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (c) if the two valuations produced are within ten percent (10%) of each other, then the average of the two (2) FMV Cap Rates shall be deemed to be the FMV Cap Rate for the applicable Approved Property as of the relevant date, but if the two (2) FMV Cap Rates produced are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, the two (2) Qualified Appraisers shall together designate a third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser; and (d) if applicable, the FMV Cap Rate of the third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser shall be compared to the FMV Cap Rates of the first (1st) Qualified Appraisers, and the two (2) valuations that are nearest to each other shall be averaged, and the average of the two

 

S-30


(2) FMV Cap Rates shall be deemed to be the MV Cap Rate for the applicable Approved Property as of the relevant date. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser it has selected, and if applicable, one half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser. The decision and award of the Qualified Appraisers shall be in writing and shall be final, conclusive and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

OF

NHP/PMB L.P.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF NHP/PMB L.P., dated as of                     , 2008 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and among [                    ], a Delaware limited liability company, as the general partner, and the Persons whose names are set forth on Exhibit “A” hereto, and NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC., a Maryland corporation (“NHP”) for the sole purpose of agreeing to the provisions of Article XVI hereof. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Article I hereof.

WHEREAS, the General Partner has previously caused to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a certificate of limited partnership (as amended from time to time, the “Certificate”) relating to the formation of a Delaware limited partnership pursuant to the Act, known as NHP/PMB L.P. (the “Partnership”), and entered into an Agreement of Limited Partnership of NHP/PMB L.P., dated as of                     , 2008 (the “Original Agreement”), with the Operating Partnership; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the contribution of certain assets to the Partnership, the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and the other Limited Partners desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to read in its entirety as set forth herein.

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

ARTICLE I

DEFINED TERMS

The following definitions shall be for all purposes, unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary, applied to the terms used in this Agreement (including the recitals hereof):

Section 1.1 “Act” means the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as it may be amended from time to time, and any successor to such statute.

Section 1.2 “Additional Limited Partner” means a Person admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof and who is shown as such on the books and records of the Partnership.

Section 1.3 “Adjusted Capital Account” means the Capital Account maintained for each Partner as of the end of each Partnership taxable year: (i) increased by any amounts which such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and (ii) decreased by the items described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) (d)(5), and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6). The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Section 1.4 “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Partnership taxable year or as of such other date for which such deficit balance is to be calculated.

Section 1.5 “ Adjustment Date” has the meaning set forth in Section 8.6(d).

 

T-9


Section 1.6 “Adjustment Factor” means 1.0; provided, however, that if, after the date of the Contribution Agreement: (a) NHP (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, unless a similar transaction is effected with respect to the Partnership Units (so that the value of a Class A Partnership Unit relative to a REIT Share remains unchanged), then 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 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) NHP 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 Market Value of a REIT Share on the record date for such distribution (each a “Distributed Right”), unless a similar transaction is effected with respect to the Partnership Units (in which holders of Partnership Units receive similar rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Partnership Units at a price per unit equal to the price per share for each Distributed Right multiplied by the Adjustment Factor), 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 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 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) NHP shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its REIT Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (a) above), other than evidences of indebtedness or assets received by NHP, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a distribution by the Partnership, 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 Market Value of a REIT Share on the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator shall be the Market Value of a REIT Share on the dated fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined by NHP) 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.

Section 1.7 “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly (including through one or more intermediaries) controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any legal or business entity, the term “Affiliate” shall also include (i) any Person which owns, directly or indirectly (including through one or more intermediaries), fifty percent (50%) or more of any class of voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or managers of such Person, (ii) any Subsidiary of such legal or business entity, and (iii) any Subsidiary of a Person described in clause (i). A Person will not be deemed to be an Affiliate of any other Person solely as a result of being a director, governor, officer or similar fiduciary of such other Person.

Section 1.8 “Agreed Value” means: (i) in the case of any Contributed Property set forth on Exhibit D and as of the time of its contribution to the Partnership, the Agreed Value of such property as set forth in Exhibit D; (ii) in the case of any Contributed Property not set forth in Exhibit D and as of the time of its contribution to the Partnership, the 704(c) Value of such property, reduced by any liabilities either assumed by the Partnership upon such contribution or to which such property is subject when contributed; and (iii) in the case of any property distributed to a Partner by the Partnership, the Partnership’s Carrying Value of such

 

T-10


property at the time such property is distributed, reduced by any indebtedness either assumed by such Partner upon such distribution or to which such property is subject at the time of distribution as determined under Section 752 of the Code and the Regulations.

Section 1.9 “Agreement” means this Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of NHP/PMB L.P., as it may be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof.

(vi) the amount of any reserves or other cash or similar balances (including, but not limited to, working capital reserves, debt reserve funds, and capital improvements reserves) established during such period (or if previously established, the amount of any increase therein), which the General Partner determines in good faith to be necessary or appropriate for a

 

T-11


legitimate business purpose of the Partnership, and not for the purpose of depriving Limited Partners of distributions of Available Cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Available Cash shall not include (i) any cash received or reductions in reserves, or take into account any disbursements made, or reserves established, after dissolution and the commencement of the liquidation and winding up of the Partnership, (ii) any Capital Contributions, whenever received, (iii) any Disposition Proceeds (whether received by the Partnership or distributed) or (iii) any Financing Proceeds (whether received by the Partnership or distributed).

On or after the Effective Date, the Partners and other Persons who are to become Additional Limited Partners pursuant to the Contribution Agreement or the Pipeline Agreement may contribute assets to the Partnership pursuant to either such agreement and, upon making such contributions, such other Persons shall be admitted as Additional Limited Partners. In connection with this Agreement, the Carrying Values of the Partnership’s Properties have been adjusted to reflect their respective fair market values and the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall reflect their respective contributions as set forth on Exhibit A, and such amounts shall be represented by Partnership Units shown on Exhibit A. The Partnership Units also shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to accurately reflect any issuance, transfer or redemption of Partnership Units, any additional Capital Contributions, or other events having an effect on any Partner’s Percentage Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner, in its capacity as general partner, shall be deemed to be the General Partner Interest. Except as required by law, as expressly provided in this Article IV, Section 10.5, the Contribution Agreement or the Pipeline Agreement, no Partner, including, without limitation, the General Partner,

 

T-25


shall have any obligation whatsoever to or be permitted to make any additional or further Capital Contributions, loans, or advances of any kind to the Partnership, or to in any way finance the operation of the Partnership, the distributions to Partners or any of the Debt or other obligations of the Partnership.

Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the Capital Contribution of each Partner will be returned to that Partner only in the manner and to the extent provided in Article V and Article XIII hereof, and no Partner may withdraw from the Partnership or otherwise have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution to the Partnership, except as specifically provided herein or required by law. Under circumstances requiring a return of any Capital Contribution, no Partner shall have the right to receive property other than cash, except as specifically provided herein or required by law.

(c) Timing of Additional Capital Contributions. If additional Capital Contributions are made by any Partners on any day other than the first 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 Partners for such Fiscal Year, if necessary, shall be allocated among such Partners 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 such other permissible method as reasonably determined by the General Partner.

The provisions of Section 12.2 shall also govern the acquisition by the Partnership in the future of additional Properties by means of Capital Contributions by other Persons, which Capital Contributions shall be set forth in Exhibit A. As a condition to being admitted to the Partnership, each Additional Member shall execute an agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the General Partner.

Section 4.3 Partnership Units

(a) Generally. Partnership Interests shall be represented by Partnership Units. Initially, all Partnership Units shall be designated as either “Class A Partnership Units” (“Class A Partnership Units”) or (“Class B Partnership Units”). Except as expressly provided herein, Class A Partnership Units and Class B Partnership Units shall entitle the holders thereof to equal rights under this Agreement. The number of Partnership Units of each class held by each Partner and the total number outstanding are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, as such Exhibit A may be amended from time to time. Subject to the provisions of Section 15.17, the ownership of Partnership Units shall be evidenced by such form of certificate for units as the General Partner adopts from time to time, which certificate may be imprinted with a legend setting forth such restrictions placed on the Partnership Units as specified in this Agreement and such restrictions will be binding upon all holders of the certificate along with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Partnership Units issued to the General Partner, the Operating Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner shall be Class B Partnership Units, and any Partnership Units acquired by the General Partner, the Operating Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner from any Limited Partner, pursuant to a Redemption pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof or otherwise, shall automatically be converted from a Class A Partnership Unit to a Class B Partnership Unit.

(b) Additional Partnership Units.

(c) Issuances to the General Partner and its Affiliates.

(i) Without the Consent of Class A Limited Partners, except in connection with a closing under the Contribution Agreement or the Pipeline Agreement, no additional Partnership Units shall be issued to the General Partner, the Operating Partnership or to an Affiliate of the General Partner, unless (x) such Partnership Units are Class B Partnership Units, and (y) the additional Partnership Units are issued for a fair economic consideration. Class B Partnership Units will be deemed to be issued for a fair economic consideration if (1) at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the issuance, the General Partner obtains a determination by an independent investment banker or financial advisor that the consideration paid or proposed to be paid by the General Partner, the Operating Partnership or its Affiliate in this regard is a fair economic consideration, or is otherwise fair from a financial point of view, to the Partnership, or (2) in connection with any Capital Contribution to the Partnership in cash, the General Partner, the Operating Partnership or its Affiliate receives, in exchange therefor, a number of Class B Partnership Units equal to the amount of such cash, divided by the Market Value of a REIT Share as of the date of such contribution.

(ii) In connection with any closing under the Contribution Agreement or the Pipeline Agreement, the General Partner, the Operating Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner may make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in cash at any time within five (5) Business Days prior to such closing and shall receive, in exchange therefor, a number of Class B Partnership Units equal to the amount of such cash, divided by Market Value of a REIT Share as of such closing date; provided, however, that with respect to any Capital Contribution occurring under the Contribution Agreement prior to December 31, 2008, (i) if the Market Value of a REIT Share as of such closing date is less than the quotient obtained by dividing (x) Twenty-Eight Dollars ($28.00), by (y) the Adjustment Factor in effect as of such closing date, then the number of Class B Partnership Units shall be determined by dividing the cash amount by such quotient, and (ii) if the Market Value of a REIT Share as of such closing date is more than the quotient obtained by dividing (x) Thirty-Two Dollars ($32.00), by (y) the Adjustment Factor in effect as of such closing date, then the number of Class B Partnership Units shall be determined by dividing the cash amount by such quotient .

Section 4.4 Loans

(a) Generally. Subject to Section 7.3 hereof, the Partnership may incur or assume Debt, enter into other similar credit, guarantee, financing (including, without limitation, the encumbrance of the Partnership assets for the Debt of the General Partner and/or Affiliates of the General Partner 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 General Partner determines appropriate.

(b) General Partner Loans. Subject to Section 7.3 hereof, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make loans and advances to the Partnership, whether secured or unsecured, and shall be treated as a third party lender to the Partnership (with all attendant rights, privileges, and remedies) to the extent that it does so. Loans and advances, if any, funded by the General Partner or its Affiliates shall be on commercially competitive terms, comparable to similar loans and advances made by unrelated third party institutional lenders; and, if institutional lenders would not regularly make such loans or advances, then terms for a comparable loan or advance described by any unrelated third party loan broker upon request by the General Partner shall be presumed to be commercially competitive and comparable to similar loans and advances made by unrelated third parties for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner of any action taken by it. The General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner taken pursuant to its authority under this Agreement and in accordance with the terms hereof so long as the action or inaction is taken in good faith and except for any liability that the Partnership or the General Partner may have to a Limited Partner under a separate agreement between the Partnership or the General Partner, on the one hand, and such Limited Partner, including, without limitation, the Tax Protection Agreement.

(e) The General Partner has the power and authority to delegate to one or more other Persons the General Partner’s rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Partnership, including to delegate to agents, officers and employees of the General Partner or the Partnership, and to delegate by a management agreement or another agreement with, or otherwise to, other Persons. Any such delegation by the General Partner shall not cause the General Partner to cease to be the general partner of the Partnership or cause the person to whom any such rights and powers have been delegated to be a general partner of the Partnership. In no event shall any such delegation relieve the General Partner of its obligation under this Agreement or NHP of its obligations under Article XVI hereof.

Section 7.2 Certificate of Limited Partnership

The General Partner has filed the Certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware as required by the Act. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware and any other state, or the District of Columbia, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all of the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware and each other state, or the District of Columbia, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5(a)(iv), the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner.

Section 7.3 Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority

(vi) enter into any contract, mortgage, loan or other agreement that prohibits or restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting, the ability of (a) the General Partner or the Partnership from satisfying its obligations under Section 8.6 hereof in full or (b) a Limited Partner from exercising its Redemption Rights in full, except, in either case, with the written consent of such Limited Partner affected by the prohibition or restriction.

(b) The General Partner shall not, without the Consent of Class A Limited Partners, undertake, on behalf of the Partnership, any of the following actions or enter into any transaction that would have the effect of such transactions:

(i) except as provided in Section 7.3(c) hereof, amend, modify or terminate this Agreement other than to reflect the admission, substitution, termination or withdrawal of Partners pursuant to Article XI or Article XII hereof;

(ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or appoint or acquiesce in the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or any part of the assets of the Partnership;

T-34


(c) Notwithstanding Sections 7.3(b) and 14.2 hereof, the General Partner shall have the power, without the Consent of Class A Limited Partners, to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:

(i) to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners;

(ii) to reflect the admission, substitution or withdrawal of Partners or the termination of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, and to amend Exhibit A in connection with such admission, substitution or withdrawal;

(iii) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement;

(iv) to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law;

(vii) the issuance of additional Partnership Units in accordance with Section 4.2 and, to the extent applicable, the other provisions of this Agreement.

The General Partner will provide notice to the Limited Partners when any action under this Section 7.3(c) is taken.

(d) Notwithstanding Sections 7.3(b) and 7.3(c) hereof, this Agreement shall not be amended, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the Consent of each Partner adversely affected, if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited Partner Interest in the Partnership into a General Partner Interest (except as a result of the General Partner acquiring such Partnership Interest), (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter the rights of any Partner to receive the distributions to which such Partner is entitled, pursuant to Article V or Section 13.2(a)(iii) hereof, or alter the allocations specified in Article VI hereof (except, in any case, as expressly permitted pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 7.3(c) hereof), (iv) alter or modify the Redemption Rights set forth in Section 8.6 hereof, or amend or modify any related definitions, (vi) alter or modify Section 11.2(a), or (v) amend this Section 7.3(d); provided, however, that the Consent of each Partner adversely affected shall not be required for any amendment or action that affects all Partners holding the same class or series of Partnership Units on a uniform or pro rata basis. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner’s authority set forth elsewhere in this Section 7.3 without the Consent specified therein. Any such amendment or action consented to by any Partner shall be effective as to that Partner, notwithstanding the absence of such consent by any other Partner.

Section 7.4 Reimbursement of the General Partner

(a) The General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI hereof regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may be entitled in its capacity as a Partner).

 

T-35


(b) The Partnership shall be liable for, and shall reimburse the General Partner on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all sums expended in connection with the Partnership’s business, but only to the extent incurred after the Effective Date. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement of the General Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof.

(c) To the extent practicable, Partnership expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the Partnership. To the extent that reimbursements to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.4 would constitute gross income to the General Partner or its Affiliates for purposes of Code Section 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3), then such amounts shall be as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, reimbursements to the General Partner or any of the General Partner’s Affiliates by the Partnership shall be allowed only for the actual cost to the General Partner and its Affiliates of operating and other expenses of the Partnership, including, without limitation, the actual cost of goods, materials and administrative services related to (i) Partnership operations, (ii) Partnership accounting, (iii) communications with the Partners, (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 Partnership. “Actual cost of goods and materials” means the actual cost to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership obtained from entities not Affiliated with the General Partner, and “actual cost of administrative services” means the pro rata cost of personnel (as if such persons were employees to the Partnership) providing administrative services to the Partnership. The cost for such services to be reimbursed to the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof shall be the lesser of the General Partner’s or Affiliate’s actual cost, or the amount the Partnership would be required to pay to independent parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location.

Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the General Partner

The General Partner and its Affiliates shall be permitted to purchase, own, operate, manage and otherwise deal with and profit from any property, real, personal or mixed, not owned by the Partnership for their own account and benefit, whether or not competitive with the business and affairs of the Partnership, and neither the Partnership, any Limited Partner, or any other Person shall have any right, claim, interest or cause of action therein or as a result thereof. Without limiting the generality of the above, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the General Partner or its Affiliates to first offer the Partnership an opportunity to invest in any investment which has been offered to or found by the General Partner or its Affiliates, whether or not such investment is of a nature that may be invested in by the Partnership or would compete directly or indirectly with the business of the Partnership. The Limited Partners hereby acknowledge that Affiliates of the General Partner currently own a variety of real estate investments and may in the future acquire additional real estate investments that may be competitive with the business of the Partnership.

Section 7.6 Contracts with Affiliates

(a) Subject to Section 7.6(c) below, without the consent of any Limited Partners, the Partnership may lend or contribute funds or other assets to its Subsidiaries, the General Partner or its Affiliates or other Persons in which it has an equity investment and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person.

(b) Subject to Section 7.6(c) below, the Partnership may transfer assets to the General Partners and its Affiliates, and to joint ventures, partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which any of the General Partner or its Affiliates is or thereby becomes a participant, upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable.

 

T-36


(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, and notwithstanding Sections 7.6(a) and Section 7.6(b) above, neither the General Partner nor any of its, Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, or borrow funds from, or lend funds to, the Partnership or any other Person in which the Partnership has an equity investment or engage in any other transaction with the Partnership except pursuant to transactions and upon terms determined by the General Partner 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.

(d) Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.1(e) above, the General Partner may delegate to any of its Affiliates any of its responsibilities under this Agreement, including without limitation, the performance of any or all of the property management services on account of the property owned or managed by the Partnership, or any of its Subsidiaries, and may, in connection therewith, cause the Partnership, or any Subsidiary, to enter into one or more management agreements with the General Partner or one or more of its Affiliates, in form and substance acceptable to the General Partner in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, any management agreement contemplated or required by the Contribution Agreement or the Pipeline Agreement. If the General Partner elects to so perform, or to have an Affiliate so perform, the property management services, other than pursuant to any management agreement contemplated or required by the Contribution Agreement or the Pipeline Agreement, then the General Partner or its Affiliate shall be reimbursed expenses and otherwise compensated therefor by the Partnership in amounts determined by the General Partner, in its good faith discretion, to be comparable to amounts which would be charged by reputable unrelated third party property management companies which have substantial experience in performing property management services for properties of the type owned or managed by the Partnership for institutional owners with portfolios under management which are substantially similar in size, nature, and condition of property owned or managed by the Partnership.

Section 7.7 Indemnification

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ 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 Partnership or the General Partner in its capacity as general partner of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement, in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, whether or not suit or other legal proceedings are commenced, unless it is established by a court of competent jurisdiction and all appeals relating thereto have been fully completed or the applicable appeal periods have expired that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceedings and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or a willful and knowing breach of this Agreement; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper and non-permitted personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee knew, or was reckless in not knowing, 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, recourse obligation, general partner liability, or otherwise for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7(a) in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct as set forth in this Section 7.7(a). The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, in each case, after all appeals relating thereto have been fully completed or the applicable appeal periods have expired, creates a rebuttable presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7(a) with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, or otherwise provide funds, to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7.

 

T-37


(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 proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by Partnership 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 Partners, 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 pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

(d) The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) No Partners shall have any personal liability to any Indemnitee 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 Partnership’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 General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income to the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Code Section 707(c), shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its partners, members, officers or directors shall be liable for damages to the Partnership, any Partners 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 any act or omission if the General Partner or such partner, member, officer or director acted in good faith.

(b) The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the owner(s) of the General Partner, collectively, and that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions, and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith and has not breached its express covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

T-38


(c) Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1(a), the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner taken 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 General Partner’s and its partners’, members’, officers’ and directors’ liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners 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.

Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner

(a) The General Partner 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 General Partner 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 which such General Partner 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 General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and duly appointed attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty which is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief, after consultation with outside counsel, that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order to protect the ability of NHP to continue to qualify as a REIT, or to avoid the General Partner or NHP incurring any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners; provided, however, that if any action or omission proposed to be taken by the General Partner or NHP to protect the ability of NHP to continue to qualify as a REIT or to avoid the consequences referred above would (i) have a detrimental effect on the distributions and allocations to the Limited Partners pursuant to Articles V, VI or XIII, (ii) impair the obligations of the Partnership or the rights of the Limited Partners under the Tax Protection Agreement, or (iii) would alter or modify the restrictions on the transfer of the General Partner’s Percentage Interest in the Partnership under Section 11.2, then the General Partner shall not take such action (or fail to take such action) unless (1) such action (or inaction) shall have received the Consent of Class A Limited Partners or (2) the General Partner has received advice of a nationally recognized law firm to the effect that the failure to take such action (or inaction) is necessary to protect the ability of NHP to continue to qualify as a REIT or to avoid the consequences referred above; provided further, that in such event, the Partnership shall indemnify the Class A Limited Partners for any damages suffered by such Partners, including, without limitation, the payment of any amounts provided under the Tax Protection Agreement.

Section 7.10 Title to Partnership Assets

Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets

 

T-39


may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held.

Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority, without consent or approval of any other Partner or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if the General Partner were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, engage or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner 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 Partnership; 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 Partnership.

The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Outside Activities of Limited Partners

Any Partner (General and/or Limited) and any Affiliate of any Partner (including any officer, director, employee, agent, or representative of any Partner) shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities that are in direct competition with the Partnership or that are enhanced by the activities of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partners shall have any rights, claims, or interests by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures or investments of any General Partner, Limited Partner, Assignee or any Affiliate of any of the

 

T-40


foregoing. None of the Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any other Partner and, except as forth in the Contribution Agreement, no Partner shall have any obligation pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest in any business ventures to the Partnership or any Partner even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership or any Partner could be taken by such Person.

Except as forth in the Contribution Agreement or the Pipeline Agreement, none of the Partners, General or Limited, or any of their Affiliates, have any duty, obligation, or liability to present to the Partnership any business or investment opportunity which may arise in the course of activity for or on behalf of the Partnership, or otherwise, for investment by the Partnership or any of the Partners (even if within the line and scope of the business and affairs of the Partnership), and any Partner, General or Limited, and any Affiliate may pursue such opportunity for its own benefit and account, without any participation, right, or claim therein by the Partnership or any other Partner, and without notification or disclosure to the Partnership or any other Partner.

Section 8.6 Redemption Rights

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time following the first (1st) anniversary of the issuance of any Class A Partnership Unit to a Limited Partner, such Limited Partner or its Assignee shall have the right (the “Redemption Right”) to cause the Partnership to redeem all or any portion of the Class A Partnership Units then held by the Limited Partner or its Assignee (a “Redemption”) for a price per Class A Partnership Unit (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the Cash Amount payable within ten (10) Business Days following written notice to the General Partner of the exercise of the Redemption Right; provided, however, that at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, the General Partner may elect to assume the Partnership’s obligation with respect to the Redemption (though such assumption shall not relieve the Partnership from such obligation in the event the General Partner fails to fulfill such obligation) and, at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to satisfy the Redemption by paying the Redemption Price in either (i) the Cash Amount or (ii) delivering a number of REIT Shares equal to the REIT Shares Amount, or any combination of the foregoing, and in either case payable within ten (10) Business Days following written notice to the General Partner of the exercise of the Redemption Right. Except for the Redemption Right, no Limited Partner or Assignee shall have the right to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner or Assignee. If a Cash Amount is to be delivered upon a Redemption, the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified check payable to the tendering holder of the applicable Class A Partnership Units or, in the Partnership’s or the General Partner’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 holder of the applicable Class A Partnership Units. In the event that the General Partner elects to pay the Redemption Price in the form of REIT Shares, such REIT Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable REIT Shares, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than any ownership limit and other restrictions and limitations of the NHP Charter that may apply to such Limited Partner’s acquisition of REIT Shares (collectively, the “Charter Restrictions”). REIT Shares issued in exchange for Class A Partnership Units in a Redemption shall be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with any Redemption, except as provided in any applicable Charter Restrictions, the receiving party of any REIT Shares shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares for all purposes, including, without limitation, rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the date (with respect to such Redemption, the “Transfer Date”) that is the earlier of (A) the date of receipt of such REIT Shares or (B) ten (10) Business Days following written notice to the General Partner of the exercise of the Redemption Right.

(b) In connection with each Redemption, the Limited Partner or Assignee shall submit (i) such information, certification or affidavit as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the application of the ownership limit and other restrictions and limitations of the NHP Charter that may apply to such Limited Partner’s acquisition of REIT Shares, and (ii) such written representations, legal opinions, investment letters, or other similar instruments reasonably necessary, in the General Partner’s reasonable opinion, to effect compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Redemption pursuant to this Section 8.6:

(i) Each holder of a Class A Partnership Unit tendered for Redemption shall continue to own all Class A Partnership Units subject to a Redemption, and be treated as a Limited Partner or Assignee, as the case may be, with respect to all such Class A Partnership Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until the Transfer Date.

(ii) No holder of any Class A Partnership Units may effect a Redemption for less than five hundred (500) Class A Partnership Units or, if such holder holds less

 

T-42


than five hundred (500) Class A Partnership Units, all of the Class A Partnership Units held by such holder.

(iii) Each holder of any Class A Partnership Units may effect a Redemption only once in each fiscal quarter of a twelve (12) month period.

(iv) The consummation of such 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.

(d) If (x) NHP shall engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with another Person, a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or stock, or any conversion into another form of entity, and the REIT Shares are converted into or exchanged for stock or other securities of another Person, or cash or other property, NHP fails to qualify as a REIT, or (z) the REIT Shares cease to be listed on any national securities exchange (any event described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) being a “Fundamental Event”), then, from and after the occurrence of such Fundamental Event and, in the case of a Fundamental Event described in (y) or (z) above, only for so long as NHP fails to qualify as a REIT, or the REIT Shares cease to be listed on a national securities exchange, respectively:

(i) if the REIT Shares are converted into, or exchanged for, only common equity securities of a REIT that are listed on a national securities exchange (“New REIT Shares”), and cash paid in lieu of fractional shares, every reference in this Agreement to a “REIT Share” or “REIT Shares” shall subsequently be deemed to be a reference to such New REIT Shares, and the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in effect immediately prior to such Fundamental Event by the number (which may be a fraction) of such New REIT Shares into which each REIT Share was converted or for which each REIT Share was exchanged in the Fundamental Event; and

(ii) in all other cases:

(A) upon a subsequent Redemption of a Class A Partnership Unit, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, for each Class A Partnership Unit, in lieu of the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, cash in an amount equal to (1) either (x) if NHP fails to qualify as a REIT, the Market Value of a REIT Share as of the date of such failure, (y) if the REIT Shares cease to be listed on any national securities exchange, the Market Value of a REIT Share as of the fifth business day after the last day on which REIT Shares were listed on a national securities exchange, or (z) in the case of any other Fundamental Event, the fair market value of the cash, securities or other property into which the REIT Shares were converted, or for which the REIT Shares were exchanged, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Share Price Index on the Redemption Date and the denominator of which is the Share Price Index on the date the Fundamental Event was effected; and

(B) the Preferred Return Per Unit shall be subsequently calculated with a cumulative increase occurring on the 10th day of each of February, May, August and November of each year (each, an “Adjustment Date”) in an amount equal to the product of (1) the regular quarterly cash dividend most recently paid by NHP prior to such Fundamental Event, and (2) a fraction the numerator of which is the average regular quarterly dividend paid by the companies in the Reference Group as of such Adjustment Date, and the denominator of which is the average regular quarterly dividend paid by the companies in the Reference Group as of the date of the Fundamental Event; provided, however, that if any event occurs after the date of the Fundamental Event with respect to any shares of common stock included in the Reference Group that would unfairly distort the average regular quarterly dividend as of any Adjustment Date, including, without limitation, a stock dividend, stock split, share combination or other event that, if applicable to the REIT Shares would result in an adjustment to the Adjustment Factor, then the General Partner shall make an appropriate adjustment to the average regular quarterly dividend as of the Adjustment Date.

 

T-43


(e) The provisions of Section 8.6(d) shall apply to successive Fundamental Events.

Section 8.7 Call Right

(a) On and after the date on which the aggregate Class A Partnership Units outstanding represent less than five percent (5%) of all outstanding Partnership Units, the Partnership shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time and at any time to redeem any and all outstanding Class A Partnership Units by treating any holder thereof as having exercised a Redemption Right pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof for the amount of Class A Partnership Units specified by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, by notice to the holder of such Class A Partnership Units that the Partnership has elected to exercise its rights under this Section 8.7(a).

(b) The Partnership shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to redeem all outstanding Class A Partnership Units by treating the holders thereof as having exercised their Redemption Rights pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof for all of their Class A Partnership Units , by notice to the holders of such Class A Partnership Units that the Partnership has elected to exercise its rights under this Section 8.7(b); provided, that, in addition to the Redemption Price, the Partnership pays a Make Whole Payment to each holder whose Class A Partnership Units are redeemed pursuant to this Section 8.7(b) to the extent required by the Tax Protection Agreement.

(c) Provided that the Partnership has received a Foreclosure Notice pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.3(a), immediately prior to the occurrence of a Foreclosure Event, the Partnership shall redeem the Unit Collateral held by a Margin Loan Partner that is subject to such Foreclosure Event by treating such Margin Loan Partner as having exercised a Redemption Right pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof. In such a case, the General Partner may elect to assume the Partnership’s obligations under Section 8.6 and to satisfy the Redemption by paying the Redemption Price in REIT Shares. To the extent provided by law, a Redemption pursuant to this Section 8.7(c) shall be deemed to occur immediately prior to the occurrence of a Foreclosure Event even if the Margin Loan Partner fails to give the Partnership a Foreclosure Notice prior to such redemption, and the lender with respect to the Margin Loan shall have no right to, and shall not, acquire the Unit Collateral, but shall instead only have a right to acquire the consideration received or to be received by such Margin Loan Partner in such Redemption.

Section 8.8 Confidentiality

Each Limited Partner and Assignee shall keep confidential the provisions of this Agreement, all understandings, agreements and other arrangements between and among the parties, and all other non-public information received from or otherwise relating to, the Partnership and its Affiliates, except that a Limited Partner shall be entitled to disclose such confidential information (a) to its lawyers, accountants and other service providers as reasonably necessary in the furtherance of such Limited Partner’s bona fide interests; (b) in connection with any transfer of Partnership Units, to the prospective assignee or Substituted Limited Partner; (c) in connection with any loan permitted by this Agreement to be secured by a pledge of Partnership Units, to a prospective lender; and (d) as otherwise required by law or judicial process; provided, however, that any Limited Partner or Assignee may disclose to any and all Persons the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

Section 10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns

The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, as soon as practicable after the close of each taxable year, but in no event later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by the Limited Partners for federal and state income tax reporting purposes.

T-45


(b) The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

(i) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner: (i) who (within the time period prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner; or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code);

(ii) in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal place of business is located;

(iii) to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment;

(iv) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request;

(v) to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken account of by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and

(vi) to take any other action of behalf of the Partners or the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations.

The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.3, the Consent of the Class A Limited Partners (which approval or disapproval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required to settle any administrative proceeding or institute or settle any judicial proceeding with respect to tax issues if such action (a) is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the holders of the Class A Partnership Units in the aggregate, and (b) does not adversely affect NHP’s tax status as a REIT.

(c) The tax matters partner shall receive no special compensation for its services as such. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne or reimbursed by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder, including an accounting firm which also renders services to the General Partner and its Affiliates.

 

T-46


Section 10.4 Organizational Expenses

The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably as provided in Section 709 of the Code.

Section 10.5 Withholding

Each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from, or pay on behalf of or with respect to, such Partner any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the General Partner reasonably determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount payable, distributable or allocable to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to any Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made, unless: (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Partner; or (ii) the General Partner determines that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Partner. Each Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5. In the event that a Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5 when due, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Partner, and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Partner. Without limitation, in such event the General Partner shall have the right to receive distributions that would otherwise be distributable to such defaulting Partner until such time as such loan, together with all interest thereon, has been paid in full, and any such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been distributed to the defaulting Partner and immediately paid by the defaulting Partner to the General Partner in repayment of such loan. Any amounts payable by a Partner 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), such interest to accrue from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Partner shall at its own expense take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

Section 10.6 Other Allocations

(a) Any gain allocated to the General Partner and the Limited Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to Exhibit C, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

(b) In the event that (i) any modifications are made to the Code or any Regulations, (ii) any changes occur in any case law applying or interpreting the Code or any Regulations, (iii) the IRS changes or clarifies the manner in which it applies or interprets the Code or any Regulations or any case law applying or interpreting the Code or any Regulations or (iv) the IRS adjusts the reporting of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which, in each case, in the opinion of an independent tax counsel, either (a) requires allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or (b) requires reporting of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner different from that set forth in this Article X or Exhibit C, the General Partner is hereby authorized to make new allocations or report any such transactions (as the case may be) in reliance of the foregoing; provided, however, that such new allocations or the reporting of any transaction (as the case may be) does not have a detrimental effect on the distributions and allocations to the Limited Partners pursuant to Articles V, VI or XIII. Any such new allocations and reporting shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary duty of the Partners, and no such new allocation or reporting shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Partner.

 

T-47


Section 10.7 Consistent Tax Reporting

The Partners acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by Article VI and Section 10.6 and hereby agree to be bound by such provisions 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.

TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

Section 11.1 Transfer

(a) The term “transfer” when used in this Article XI with respect to a Partnership Unit shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign all or any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to assign all or any part of its Limited Partner Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise. The term “transfer” when used in this Article XI does not include any acquisition of Partnership Units by the General Partner from any Limited Partner, nor does it include any grant of a security interest or any related action involving levy, execution, or the like contemplated under Section 10.5 of this Agreement.

(b) No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part (including any interest therein), except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article XI. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article XI shall be null and void ab initio, and the Partnership shall have no duty or obligation to recognize the transferee as a partner or holder of any interest whatsoever in the Partnership, and the transferee shall have no rights, interests or claims in or against the Partnership or any Partner.

(c) No part of the interest of a Partner 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.

Section 11.2 Transfer of the General Partner’s Interests

(a) The General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and shall not transfer all or any portion of the General Partner Interest (whether by sale, disposition, liquidation or otherwise) except for (i) a withdrawal or transfer effected with the Consent of the Class A Limited Partners; or (ii) a transfer of all of the General Partner Interest to any Affiliate of NHP, so long as NHP remains obligated pursuant to Article XVI hereof, and the related withdrawal of such General Partner. It is a condition to any transfer of the General Partner Interest otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assume, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this Agreement. Upon any transfer of the General Partner Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2, (A) the transferor shall be deemed to have withdrawn as General Partner and shall thereafter be relieved of its obligations as General Partner under this Agreement, and (B) the transferee shall become a successor General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the General Partner arising after such transfer. In the event that the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership in violation of this Agreement or dissolves or terminates, or upon the bankruptcy of the General Partner, Limited Partners holding a majority of Class A Partnership Units may elect to continue the Partnership business by selecting a successor General Partner in accordance with the Act.

(b) Except in connection with a Fundamental Event, or a merger, consolidation or conversion of the Partnership effected pursuant to Section 14.4, the General Partner shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with another Person, a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or stock or other

 

T-48


equity interests, or a conversion into another form of entity unless the surviving entity or transferee, as the case may be, in such transaction is an Affiliate of NHP, and NHP remains obligated under Article XVI hereof.

Section 11.3 Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer

(a) Except for a transfer to the General Partner, the Operating Partnership, any other Affiliate of the General Partner (or its successors, assignees, affiliates and designees) or any other Limited Partner, a Limited Partner shall not transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s economic rights as a Limited Partner without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in the General Partner’s sole discretion; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner or Assignee may, subject to the provisions of Sections 8.7, 11.4 and 11.6(d), but without the requirement of first obtaining the consent of the General Partner, (i) pledge all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to a lending institution that (A) is not an Affiliate of such Limited Partner or Assignee, and (B) is not a lender to the Partnership or any person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership, in each case, as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit, and transfer such pledged Partnership Interest to such lending institution in connection with the exercise of remedies under such loan or extension of credit, or (ii) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s or Assignee’s economic rights as a Limited Partner, (A) to a partner in such Limited Partner or Assignee in liquidation of such partner’s interest in such Limited Partner or Assignee, (B) to an immediate family member of such Limited Partner or Assignee, (C) to a family planning trust, a corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity in which the Limited Partner or Assignee (together with their immediate family members) has a 50% or greater economic interest, or (D) to an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) or 501(c)(3) of the Code, so long as any such transfer would not otherwise violate the provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, however, that any such transferee shall first have executed and delivered a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. At least [20] days prior to undertaking the pledge described in clause (i) above, the Limited Partner shall provide written notice thereof to the Partnership (the “Pledge Notice”). Promptly upon receipt of the Pledge Notice, the General Partner shall provide to the Limited Partner a detailed list of all lenders to the Partnership. The General Partner hereby agrees to cooperate with any Limited Partner or Assignee in connection with a pledge permitted in clause (i) above. A Margin Loan Partner shall provide the Partnership with prompt notice of any default under any Margin Loan of such Partner. At least 10 days prior to the occurrence of a Foreclosure Event, a Margin Loan Partner shall provide the Partnership with written notice (the “Foreclosure Notice”) of the pending Foreclosure Event.

(b) If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the partners, executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all of the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

Section 11.4 Substituted Limited Partners

(a) Except for a transferee permitted pursuant to Section 11.3(a), no Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in his place. Any transferee permitted pursuant to Section 11.3(a) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner. In addition, the General Partner shall have the right to consent to the admission of any other transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner.

(b) A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article XI shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement.

 

T-49


(c) Upon admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner.

Section 11.5 Assignees

If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4, 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 partner interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Loss, Recapture Income, and any other items, gain, loss deduction and credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such Assignee, the rights to transfer its Partnership Interest provided in this Article XI, and the right of Redemption provided in Section 8.6, but shall not be deemed to be a Limited Partner for any purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote any Partnership Units for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote (such Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted on such matters in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners are voted). In the event any Assignee desires to make a further assignment of any Partnership Units, such Assignee shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article XI to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units. Neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall have any liability or obligation with respect to any Assignee as to which it does not have notice.

Section 11.6 General Provisions

(a) No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted transfer of all such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with this Article XI or a Redemption of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with Section 8.6, or pursuant to any agreement consented to by the Partnership pursuant to which the Limited Partner’s interests in the Partnership are conveyed and the Limited Partner’s withdrawal is provided for.

(b) Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of its Partnership 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 Partnership Units under Section 8.6 hereof; (iii) pursuant to any agreement of the type referred to in the preceding paragraph; or (iv) pursuant to a combination of transfers of the types specified in the foregoing (i)-(iii) shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(c) If any Partnership Unit is transferred, or upon the admission or withdrawal of a Partner, in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement during any calendar year, the income or loss attributable to such Partnership Unit for such calendar year shall be divided and allocated among the Partners based upon an interim closing of the Partnership’s books or another permissible method reasonably selected by the General Partner and agreed to by the transferring Partner, the Partner being admitted, or the withdrawing Partner, as applicable. For the purposes of accounting convenience and simplicity, if the “interim closing of the books” method is selected, the Partnership shall treat a transfer of, or any increase or decrease in, a Partnership Unit which occurs at any time during any monthly period as having been consummated on the first day of such monthly period, regardless of when during such monthly period such transfer, increase or decrease actually occurs.

(d) In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, in no event may any transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including any Redemption, any acquisition of Partnership Units by the General Partner or any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) be made (and the General Partner may prohibit any such transfer or assignment) (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) if such transfer or assignment would, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or would otherwise violate any applicable laws or regulations; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if such transfer would, based upon the advice of legal counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, adversely affect the ability of NHP to continue to qualify as a

 

T-50


REIT or to comply with the requirements of the Code and Regulations applicable to REITs or subject the General Partner or NHP to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code; (v) if such transfer would, based on the advice of counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, cause a termination of the Partnership for federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by the General Partner) of all Class A Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such transfer would, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by the General Partner) of all Class A Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (vii) if such transfer would cause the Partnership 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)); (viii) if such transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101; (ix) if such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (x) if such transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, or causes the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Code Section 469(k)(2) or Code 7704(b), unless PTP Alternatives (i) through (iii) apply; or (xi) if such Transfer subjects the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (iv), (vi) and (x) (the restrictions in such clauses, the “PTP Restrictions”), the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not prohibit a transfer under the PTP Restrictions by:

(i) First, if the Partnership satisfies the private placement safe harbor set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h), relying on such safe harbor;

(ii) Second, if the Partnership satisfies the qualifying income exception of Sections 7704(c) and (d) of the Code (the “Qualifying Income Exception”), relying on such exception;

(iii) Third, if the Partnership satisfies or could satisfy any other requirements that would avoid the need to use the PTP Restriction (e.g., by satisfying the Qualifying Income Exception and by not managing the investments of third parties), by taking all actions to satisfy such requirements, with the advance written consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners holding Class A Partnership Units;

(iv) Fourth, extending, to up to 30 days, the period of time between the exercise of a Redemption Right and the payment or measurement of the Redemption Price. If the Partnership reasonably believes that such redemption period would not eliminate the need to prohibit a transfer under the PTP Restrictions, it will notify the holders of Class A Partnership Units. The Partnership has no present intention to assert that the extension of period of time to 30 days is not sufficient to avoid the use of the PTP Restrictions.

The alternatives in clauses (i) through (iv) above (collectively, the “PTP Alternatives”) shall apply in the order of priority listed, except that the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Qualifying Income Exception at all times that such exception is available. In addition, the PTP Alternatives shall only apply to the extent they are available under applicable law from time to time and the Partnership reasonably determines that their use is necessary to, and would, eliminate the Partnership’s need to apply the PTP Restrictions. The Partnership will promptly provide notice to the holders of Class A Partnership Units if it expects to use the PTP Alternatives listed in clauses (iii) or (iv) above. With the Consent of the Class A Limited Partners, the Partnership’s use of any PTP Alternative shall be terminated (resulting in the application of the PTP Restrictions), provided that the termination in the use of such PTP Alternative shall be implemented in a manner that does not cause the Partnership to become taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes.

Section 12.1 Admission of Successor General Partner

A successor to all of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective upon such transfer. The admission of any such transferee shall not cause a dissolution of the Partnership and such transferee shall carry on the business of the Partnership in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In each case, the admission shall be subject to the successor General Partner executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission. In the case of such admission on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, all items attributable to the General Partner Interest for such Partnership Year shall be allocated between the transferring General Partner and such successor as provided in Section 11.6(c) hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, and except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Section 12.2(c) hereof, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner (which consent is hereby given with respect to those Persons to whom Class A Partnership Units may be issued pursuant to the Contribution Agreement) and the Consent of the Class A Limited Partners, which consent may be given or withheld by each Limited Partner and the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the consent of the General Partner and to the extent required, the Consent of the Class A Limited Partners, to such admission.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, after the Effective Date the General Partner may, without the Consent of the Class A Limited Partners, (i) admit one or more Additional Limited Partners and issue Class A Partnership Units to such Person(s) and (ii) acquire any of the Real Properties and/or Pipeline Properties, in each instance, in connection with the closing of any transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement or the Pipeline Agreement or consummated in connection therewith.

(d) If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and Assignees for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all of the Partners and Assignees, including such Additional Limited Partner. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees, other than the Additional Limited Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all of the Partners and Assignees, including such Additional Limited Partner.

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 13.1 Dissolution

The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs be wound up, only upon the first to occur of any of the following (each, a “Liquidating Event”):

(a) other than an event of bankruptcy, the Incapacity of the General Partner or an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as such withdrawal is permitted by and defined in the Act, unless within ninety (90) days after such Incapacity or event of withdrawal, the remaining Partners holding a majority in interest of the issued and outstanding Partnership Units agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such Incapacity or event of withdrawal, of a substitute General Partner;

(b) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

(c) a Terminating Capital Transaction; or

(d) a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case, under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment, the remaining Partners holding a majority in interest of the issued and outstanding Partnership Units agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner.

Section 13.2 Winding Up

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership 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 Partners. After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, no Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner, or in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”), shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(i) First, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners and their Affiliates (whether by payment or the reasonable provision for payment thereof);

 

T-53


(ii) Second, pari passu to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the Partners and their Affiliates (whether by payment or the reasonable provision for payment thereof); and

(iii) The balance, if any, to the General Partner, Limited Partners and their Assignees in accordance with the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

The General Partner shall not receive any special compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XIII.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2(a) hereof which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including those to Partners and their Affiliates as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2(a) hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to the Partners and only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the 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 reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made pursuant to this Article XIII may be:

(i) distributed to one or more trust(s) established for the benefit of the creditors and the General Partner, Limited Partners and their Assignees for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets of any such trust(s) shall be distributed to the creditors and the General Partner, Limited Partners and their Assignees from time to time, in the reasonable direction of the Liquidator, in the same manner and proportions as the amount distributed to such trust (s) by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the creditors and the General Partner, Limited Partners and their Assignees pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the creditors and the General Partner, Limited Partners and their Assignees in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.2(a) as soon as practicable.

Section 13.3 Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations

In the event the Partnership 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 Partners and Assignees who have positive Capital Account balances 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.

 

T-54


Section 13.4 Tax Termination (Deemed Contribution and Distribution)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII, in the event the Partnership is considered “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership’s property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for federal income tax purposes, the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed the property in kind to a new partnership treated as a continuation of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations Section 1.708-1(b)(1)(iv) and the Partnership shall be deemed to liquidate and, in connection with such deemed liquidation, distribute interests in the new partnership to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Account balances immediately prior to such deemed liquidation. The deemed termination and liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Regulations Section 1.708-1(b)(1)(iv) shall be disregarded for purposes of maintaining and computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts in Exhibit B hereto.

Section 13.5 Partners

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contributions and shall have no right, power or claim to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions, or allocations.

Section 13.6 Notice of Dissolution

If a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for the provisions of an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners, and such other notices as may be required by the Act.

Section 13.7 Termination of Partnership and Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership

Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets, as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed, the Partnership shall be terminated, and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

Section 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 Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2 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 Partners during the period of liquidation.

Section 13.9 Financial Matters

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if upon a Liquidating Event or the final dissolution and termination of the Partnership and after taking into account all allocations of Net Income and Net Loss (and other tax items under Section 6.1), there remains a deficit in any Partner’s Capital Account, then in no event shall any such Partner shall have an obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

 

T-55


Section 13.10 Waiver of Partition and Dissolution

Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property and any right to initiate, trigger, cause or commence a dissolution or an action for dissolution of the Partnership.

AMENDMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT; MEETINGS; MERGERS AND CONVERSIONS

Section 14.1 Procedures for Actions and Consents of Partners

(a) The actions requiring consent or approval of Limited Partners 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.

Section 14.2 Amendments

Except for amendments to Exhibit A as provided in Section 7.3(c) hereof, amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner or by Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Partnership Units. Following such proposal, the General Partner shall submit any proposed amendment to the Limited Partners. The General Partner shall seek the written consent of the Partners on the proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that it may deem appropriate. For purposes of obtaining a written consent, the General Partner 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 General Partner’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. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, including without limitation Section 7.3(c), a proposed amendment shall be adopted and be effective as an amendment hereto if it is approved by the General Partner and the Consent of the Class A Limited Partners.

Section 14.3 Meetings of the Partners

(a) Meetings of the Partners may be called by the General Partner and shall be called upon the receipt by the General Partner of a written request by Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Partnership Units . Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners not less than seven (7) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such meeting. Partners may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Whenever the vote or consent of the Partners is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote or consent may be given at a meeting of the Partners or may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.2(b) hereof.

(b) Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by the General Partner and Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Partnership Units (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement). Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of the General Partner and Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Partnership Units (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement). Such consent shall be filed with the General Partner. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified.

(c) Each Limited Partner may authorize any Person or Persons to act for him by proxy on all matters in which a Limited Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the Limited Partner or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date hereof 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

 

T-56


Limited Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the General Partner’s or the Partnership’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Limited Partner executing such proxy.

(d) Each meeting of the Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such reasonable rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate. Without limitation, meetings of Partners may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the shareholders of the NHP and may be held at the same time, and as part of, meetings of the shareholders of NHP.

Section 14.4 Merger, Consolidation or Conversion

(a) The Partnership may merge or consolidate or otherwise combine with another limited partnership or any “other business entity,” as defined in Section 17-211 of the Act, or convert into any such other business entity, whether such entity is formed under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other state of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction or any combination thereof, pursuant to a written agreement of merger or consolidation or similar agreement (a “Merger Agreement”) or a written plan of conversion or similar plan (a “Plan of Conversion”), as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 14.4.

(b) Any merger, consolidation or conversion or similar transaction of the Partnership pursuant to this Section 14.4 requires the prior approval of the General Partner. If the General Partner shall determine to consent to the merger, consolidation, conversion or similar transaction, the General Partner shall approve a Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion containing such terms and conditions that the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate, and the provisions of Section 14.4(c) shall apply.

(c) Except as provided in Section 14.4(d):

(i) upon its approval of the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, as the case may be, the General Partner shall direct that the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, as applicable, be submitted to a vote of Limited Partners;

(ii) the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, as applicable, shall be approved upon receiving the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners (including Affiliates of the General Partner); provided, however, that if the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, as applicable, contains any provision that, if contained in an amendment to this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement would require the Consent of Class A Limited Partners for its approval, in which case the Consent of Class A Limited Partners shall be required for approval of the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, as applicable; provided, further, that the Consent of Class A Limited Partners shall not be required for any Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion adopted in connection with a Fundamental Event if such Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion provides that each holder of a Class A Partnership Unit will receive, for each Class A Partnership Unit, (x) (1) the same consideration (i.e., cash, securities, property, etc.) that would have been paid to the holder had the Class A Partnership Unit been redeemed for REIT Shares immediately prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Event, or (2) if, in connection with the Fundamental Event, a tender or exchange offer had been made to and accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding REIT Shares, the greatest amount of such consideration which a holder of a Class A Partnership Unit would have received had it received REIT Shares in a Redemption of its Class A Partnership Unit immediately prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such tender or exchange offer, and (y) the Make Whole Payment, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the Tax Protection Agreement; provided, however, that if such Fundamental Event does not result in a significant change in the direct and indirect owners of NHP, the Make Whole Payment shall be calculated as if the Partnership had exercised its Redemption right under Section 8.7(b);

(iii) after such approval by vote or consent of the Limited Partners, and at any time prior to the filing of the certificate of merger or a certificate of conversion, the

 

T-57


merger, consolidation or conversion may be abandoned pursuant to provisions therefor, if any, set forth in the Merger Agreement or the Plan of Conversion, as the case may be; and

(iv) after such approval by vote or consent of the Limited Partners, if the transaction has not been abandoned, the General Partner is authorized to execute and file any and all documents to effect such transaction, including a certificate of merger or certificate of conversion, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the Act and any other applicable law.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Section 14.4 or in this Agreement, the General Partner is permitted, without Limited Partner approval, to convert the Partnership into a new limited liability entity, or to merge the Partnership into, or convey all of the Partnership’s assets to, another limited liability entity, which shall be newly formed and shall have no assets, liabilities or operations at the time of such conversion, merger or conveyance other than those it receives from the Partnership if (i) such transaction would not result in the loss of the limited liability of any Limited Partner, (ii) such transaction would not cause the Partnership or such new entity to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes, (iii) the governing instruments of the new entity provide the Limited Partners and the General Partner with substantially the same rights and obligations as are contained in this Agreement, and (iv) such transaction would not effect any other change to the rights of Limited Partners that, if effected as an amendment to this Agreement, would require the consent of each Partner adversely affected pursuant to Section 7.3(d).

(e) Limited Partners are not entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal in the event of a merger, consolidation or conversion pursuant to this Section 14.4, or any other similar transaction or event.

GUARANTEE BY NHP

Section 16.1 Guarantee

T-60


Section 16.2 Certain Waivers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to each Limited Partner, and also waives notice of acceptance of the guarantee pursuant to this Article XVI and notice of protest for non-payment.

Section 16.3 Guarantee Absolute

NHP agrees that the guarantee pursuant to this Article XVI constitutes an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Limited Partner (a) against the General Partner or any other Person for the Guaranteed Obligations or (b) against any other right or remedy available to any Limited Partner by contract, applicable law or otherwise.

Section 16.6 Representations and Warranties by NHP

NHP makes the following representations and warranties to each Limited Partner:

CAPITAL ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE

 

1. Capital Accounts of the Partners

(a) The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (x) the amount of all Capital Contributions made by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement; and (y) such Partner’s allocable share of Net Income allocated to such Partner pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement and any items in nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Exhibit C or any other provision of this Agreement; and (ii) and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Agreed Value of all distributions of cash or property made to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement; and (y) such Partner’s allocable share of Net Loss allocated to such Partner pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement and any other items in nature of expenses or losses that are specially allocated such Partner pursuant to Exhibit C or any other Provision of this Agreement.

(b) In the event any interest in the Partnership is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred interest.

(c) In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, there shall be taken into account Code Section 752(c) and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations.

(d) The provisions of this Agreement (including this Exhibit B and other Exhibits to this Agreement) relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify (i) the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership, the General Partner, or the Limited Partners) are computed; or (ii) the manner in which items are allocated among the Partners for federal income tax purposes in order to comply with such Regulations or to comply with Section 704(c) of the Code, the General Partner may make such modification without regard to Article XIV of the Agreement, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Person pursuant to Article XIII of the Agreement upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner also shall (i) where appropriate, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes; and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events occur that might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b). In addition, the General Partner may adopt and employ such methods and procedures for (i) the maintenance of book and tax capital accounts; (ii) the determination and allocation of adjustments under Sections 704(c), 734 and 743 of the Code; (iii) the determination of Net Income, Net Loss, taxable loss and items thereof under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code; (iv) conventions for the determination of cost recovery, depreciation and amortization deductions, as it determines in its sole discretion are necessary or appropriate to execute the provisions of this Agreement, to comply with federal and state tax laws, and are in the best interest of the Partners.

 

2. No Interest

No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions or on balances in Partners’ Capital Accounts.

 

3. No Withdrawal

No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of his Capital Contribution or his Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as provided in Articles IV, V, VIII and XIII of the Agreement.

EXHIBIT C

SPECIAL ALLOCATION RULES

 

1. Special Allocation Rules

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this Exhibit C, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit C, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership 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 Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This Section 1.(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 1.(a), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 of Partner Minimum Gain during such Partnership taxable year.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of Section 6.1 of this Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit C (except Section 1.(a) hereof), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership taxable year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.702-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner 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 Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 1.(b) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 1.(b), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement or this Exhibit with respect to such Partnership taxable year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 1.(a) hereof.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and after giving effect to the allocations required under Sections 1.(a) and 1.(b) hereof such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income, including gross income and gain for the Partnership taxable year) shall be specifically allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. It is intended that this Section 1.(c) 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.

(d) 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, there shall be allocated to such Partner only that amount of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Partner shall be allocated to other Partners in accordance with their respective Partnership Units, subject to the limitations of this Section 1(d).

(e) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Limited Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Partnership taxable year, each such Limited Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 1.(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Limited Partner would have a deficit

 

C-1

T-67


Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Exhibit C have been made as if Section 1.(c) and this Section 1.(e) were not in the Agreement.

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership taxable year shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines in its good faith discretion that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the Limited Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio for such Partnership taxable year which satisfy such requirements.

(g) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership taxable year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(h) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, 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 item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(i) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 1.(a) through 1.(h) of this Exhibit C (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is hereby authorized to divide other allocations of income, gain, deduction and loss among the Partners so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions will be divided among the Partners. In general, the Partners anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each person is zero. However, the General Partner will have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that no allocation pursuant to this Section 1.(i) shall cause the Partnership to fail to comply with the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), -2(e) or -2(i).

 

2. Allocations for Tax Purposes

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under this Agreement. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Carrying Value. In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition ofCarrying Value,” subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. Allocations pursuant to this Section 2 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share profits or losses, as the case may be, for the Partnership taxable year.

(a) the payment in full of the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount in cash and when due, if at all, under Section 10.5 of the Original Contribution Agreement.

(b) all liability of Pledgor under this Agreement;

(c) reimbursement of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in asserting, enforcing or protecting a claim in respect of any of the obligations set forth in the foregoing clause (a) or (b) above or the Collateral in any bankruptcy case or insolvency, receivership, dissolution or liquidation proceeding in which Pledgor may be the debtor or to which Pledgor may be subject, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; and

(d) all reasonable collection costs and enforcement expenses incurred by Secured Party in collecting or otherwise enforcing payment of any of the obligations set forth in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) above or in retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on any Collateral or otherwise exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement.

The foregoing obligations are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Secured Obligations.”

3. Delivery of Instruments. All certificates representing the Collateral shall be delivered to Secured Party on the Effective Date or, if acquired thereafter, immediately upon acquisition thereof and without any notice or demand, in form suitable for transfer by delivery accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank or with appropriate endorsements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.6 or 8.7 of the LP Agreement, all Pledged Common Stock and all cash payable by Secured Party in respect of the redemption of, or exchange for, the Collateral, in whole or in part, shall be delivered directly to Secured Party, to be held by Secured Party as part of the Collateral, and all such Pledged Common Stock and cash delivered to Secured Party shall be deemed to have been delivered to Pledgor in accordance with the terms of Section 8.6 or 8.7 of the LP Agreement in satisfaction of the obligation to make such delivery as therein set forth, and neither such delivery to Secured Party nor any exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party under this Section 3 or any other provision of this Agreement shall in any manner constitute a breach of or a default under any provision of the LP Agreement.

4. Further Assurances. Pledgor will promptly and in any event within five (5) business days after request by Secured Party, execute and deliver all reasonable instruments and documents (including assignments, transfer documents and transfer notices, financing statements and other lien notices), in form

 

AA-3


and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, and take all other reasonable actions which are necessary in order to create, maintain, perfect, ensure the first priority of, protect, or enforce the security interests in the Collateral granted in Section 1 hereof, to enable Secured Party or any other successor of Secured Party with respect to the Secured Obligations to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral, to protect the Collateral against the rights, claims or interests of third persons, or to effect or to assure further the provisions of this Agreement, and Pledgor agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith; provided, however, that Pledgor shall not be required to reimburse Secured Party for any such costs and expenses incurred on and as of the Effective Date in connection with this Agreement in order to initially create and/or perfect the security interests in the Pledged OP Units granted in Section 1 hereof in connection with the Vista Contribution as contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

5. Survival of Security Interests. Except as provided in Section 11 hereof or as otherwise required by law, the security interest granted hereby shall, unless released in writing by Secured Party, remain enforceable as security for the Secured Obligations until the Secured Obligations (other than any indemnification and other obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement that by their terms survive termination of this Agreement document and are not then due and payable (such obligations, the “Unmatured Surviving Obligations”) shall have been indefeasibly discharged and paid in full or the obligation of PMB LLC and Vista LLC to pay the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount has expired or been terminated in accordance with Section 10.5 of the Original Contribution Agreement.

(iii) If Pledgor is a legal entity, the execution, delivery and performance by Pledgor of this Agreement and the Pledge Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Pledgor and such execution, delivery and performance do not require the approval of any shareholders, partners, members, trustees or other persons or entities which have not been obtained, and do not contravene any organizational document, if applicable, governing Pledgor. If Pledgor is a natural person, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Pledgor and the execution, delivery and performance by Pledgor hereunder does not require the approval of any other persons or entities which have not been obtained;

(iv) This Agreement and each of the Pledge Documents is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms, subject to laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights;

(v) If Pledgor is a legal entity, Pledgor is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to Pledgor or its business, operations or affairs;

(vi) There is no pending or overtly threatened action or proceeding affecting Pledgor before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse affect on the Collateral or the Secured Party’s remedies under this Agreement;

(vii) The execution, delivery and performance by Pledgor of this Agreement and each of the Pledge Documents does not and will not conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or the lapse of time or both) a default under, any law, rule or regulation or any instrument, indenture, agreement or other contractual obligation issued by Pledgor or enforceable against it or any of its property and does not result in or require the creation of any lien (other than pursuant to Section 1 hereof) upon any of Pledgor’s property;

(viii) The LP Agreement provides that each of the Pledged OP Units are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in each applicable jurisdiction;

 

AA-5


(ix) The OP Unit Certificate(s) evidencing each of the Pledged OP Units contains a legend substantially as follows: “This certificate evidences an interest in NHP/PMB, L.P. and shall be a security governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each other applicable jurisdiction[NOTE: should be included on certificate];

(x) The provisions of Section 1 hereof are effective to create in favor of Secured Party a legal, valid and perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest in the Collateral described therein, enforceable against Pledgor, subject to laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights; and

(xi) Pledgor is, and after giving effect to all transactions occurring or being consummated on or prior to the date hereof will be, Solvent (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent” means, with respect to any particular date, that on such date the fair value of the property of Pledgor is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including probable liability on contingent liabilities, of Pledgor.

7. Covenants as to the Collateral. Pledgor covenants and agrees that, so long as the security interest granted in Section 1 hereof remains outstanding:

(a) No Changes. Pledgor will not (i) cause, permit or suffer any voluntary or involuntary change in its name, identity or structure, or in its State of organization (if Pledgor is a legal entity) or principal residence (if Pledgor is a natural person), or (ii) keep any of Pledgor’s material business records at any location other than at its chief executive office (if Pledgor is a legal entity) or principal place of residence (if Pledgor is a natural person), unless (in each case) Secured Party has been notified thereof in writing.

(b) Defense of Collateral. Pledgor will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons or entities at any time claiming the same or any interest therein.

(c) Transfer of Collateral. Pledgor will not in any way assign, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in or otherwise encumber the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein other than the pledge and security interest provided for herein, nor will Pledgor permit any voluntary or involuntary sale, transfer, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the Collateral; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not extend to any redemption of, or exchange for, any Pledged Op Units by Secured Party pursuant to any rights of redemption of, or exchange for, such Pledged OP Units granted to Secured Party under the LP Agreement. If the Collateral, or any part thereof or any interest therein, is purported to be sold, transferred, exchanged, redeemed, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in violation of this subsection (c), such sale, transfer, exchange, hypothecation or other disposition shall be null and void, ab initio, and of no force or effect with respect to Secured Party.

(d) Financing Statements. Pledgor hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to Secured Party in connection herewith. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in any security agreement or pledge agreement entered into by the parties in connection herewith or may contain an indication or description of

 

AA-6


collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to Secured Party in connection herewith.

(e) Substituted Performance. Secured Party, acting alone, may at any time (but shall not be obligated to) (i) perform any of the obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement if Pledgor fails to perform such obligation within ten (10) days after written demand by Secured Party and (ii) after ten (10) days written notice by Secured Party to Pledgor (or such lesser notice, or no notice, as Secured Party may give if Secured Party determines in good faith that its rights or security may be impaired by providing any more notice before taking the specified actions) make any payments and do any other acts which Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable to protect its security interest in the Collateral, including the right to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any lien that attaches or is asserted against any Collateral and to appear in and defend any action or proceeding relating to any Collateral, and Pledgor will promptly reimburse Secured Party for all payments made by Secured Party in doing so, together with interest thereon at the rate of 8% per annum (not to exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by law), all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, whether or not suit is brought, and all other costs and expenses related thereto (which reimbursement obligation shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations).

(f) Article 8. Pledgor will not agree or consent to any amendment or repeal of Section 15.17 [Uniform Commercial Code Article 8 (Opt-In)] of the LP Agreement (to the extent Pledgor has the right to consent to the same).

8. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) Bargain Purchase Reimbursement. The failure of PMB LLC or Vista LLC to pay the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount as and when due, if at all, under Section 10.5 of the Original Contribution Agreement, and such failure shall continue for (five) days after Pledgor’s receipt of written notice from Secured Party of PMB LLC’s or Vista LLC’s failure to pay the same; or

(b) Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made by Pledgor in this Agreement or under or in connection with the Pledge Documents proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made and either (i) such representation or warranty cannot be remedied or (ii) such representation or warranty continues to be incorrect in any material respect for ten (10) days after either (A) such incorrectness is acknowledged in writing by Pledgor or (B) written notice thereof is given to Pledgor by Secured Party; or

(c) Other Covenants. Pledgor fails to timely perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any Pledge Documents and such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Secured Party to Pledgor; or

(d) Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Receivership, Dissolution or Liquidation Proceeding. Pledgor is generally not paying its debts as they become due or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding is instituted by or against Pledgor seeking an order for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or seeking liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts or the appointment of a receiver,

 

AA-7


trustee, custodian or other similar official for Pledgor or for any substantial part of the property of Pledgor under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization or relief of debtors and either (i) any such relief in any such proceeding is sought or consented to by Pledgor or an order for any such relief is entered against it, or (ii) any such proceeding instituted against Pledgor remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 90 days; or Pledgor takes any action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this Section 8(d); or

(e) Collateral. The provisions of Section 1 hereof for any reason do not or cease to create a valid and perfected and sole security interest and lien upon the Collateral.

9. Pledgor’s Rights. As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and until written notice shall be given to Pledgor in accordance with Section 10(a) hereof:

(a) Voting. Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Collateral, or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or that would constitute or cause a breach of any obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement or the other Pledge Documents; and

(b) Dividends and Distributions.

(i) Pledgor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends, distributions and interest paid in respect of the Collateral other than any and all of the following (collectively, the “Non-Distributable Collateral Proceeds”): (A) dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of any Collateral, and instruments and other non-cash property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in redemption of or exchange for, any Collateral; (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or (except to the extent attributable to depreciation or amortization deductions) in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital to Pledgor for any Collateral; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral; provided, however, that until actually paid all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the lien and security interest created by this Agreement; and

(ii) Non-Distributable Collateral Proceeds in respect of any of the Collateral, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to Secured Party to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

10. Remedies; Proxy.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 8 hereof, i.e., after any applicable notice and cure period) and during the continuation of such Event of Default, and concurrently with written notice to Pledgor, Secured Party (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments

 

AA-8


representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the Collateral as though Secured Party was the outright owner thereof. Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at Secured Party’s place of business, or at any place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as Secured Party may deem fair, and Secured Party may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Pledgor or any right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but Secured Party reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its reasonable discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of Secured Party. PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS SECURED PARTY AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED OP UNITS, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. THE APPOINTMENT OF SECURED PARTY AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED OP UNITS, THE APPOINTMENT OF SECURED PARTY AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED OP UNITS WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED OP UNITS ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF SECURED PARTY BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT). NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

(b) If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to Secured Party, in its reasonable discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, Secured Party may, on one or more occasions and in its reasonable discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor.

(c) If, at any time when Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Collateral hereunder, such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the “Act”), Secured Party may, in its reasonable

 

AA-9


discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 10, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, Secured Party in its reasonable discretion (i) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar statute), (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 10, if any of the Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 10, then Secured Party shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its reasonable discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

(i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any person or entity permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

(ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

(iii) as to the representations required to be made by each person or entity bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about Pledgor and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Collateral so sold for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

(iv) as to such other matters as Secured Party may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be affected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

(d) Pledgor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (c) above. Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor and the Pledged Entity would agree to do so.

(e) Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or

 

AA-10


the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of Secured Party provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by Secured Party with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair Secured Party’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against such Pledgor in any respect.

(f) Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such obligations.

(g) Secured Party may exercise and enforce each right and remedy available to it upon the occurrence of an Event of Default either before or concurrently with or after, and independently of, any exercise or enforcement of any other right or remedy of Secured Party against any person or entity or property. The rights provided for in this Agreement and the Pledge Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers or privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement.

(h) The proceeds of sale of the Collateral sold pursuant to this Section 10 shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) if any, of Secured Party in enforcing or exercising any rights, powers, privileges or remedies granted hereunder, or in realizing upon any security granted hereunder.

(ii) Second, to the payment of all Secured Obligations pursuant to Sections 2(a) and (b) above.

(iii) Third, to the satisfaction of all other Secured Obligations of Pledgor to Secured Party.

(iv) Finally, after application pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) above and after all the Secured Obligations are paid in full and in cash, any surplus proceeds shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, but if any contingent, unliquidated or unmatured Secured Obligation then remains outstanding, such surplus proceeds may be retained by Secured Party and held until such time as all such commitments have been terminated and all outstanding Secured Obligations have been determined, liquidated, paid in full in cash and discharged.

 

AA-11


11. Termination; Partial Releases.

(a) As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, this Agreement shall terminate (the “Termination Date”) on the first to occur of (i) the date the Secured Obligations (other than Unmatured Surviving Obligations) have been indefeasibly discharged and paid in full or (ii) the obligation of PMB LLC and Vista LLC to pay the Bargain Purchase Reimbursement Amount has expired or been terminated in accordance with Section 10.5 of the Original Contribution Agreement.

(b) As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled to a release of its proportionate share of such number of Pledged OP Units or Pledged Common Stock as Secured Party may be obligated to release to PMB LLC pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Contribution Agreement (the “Released Units”), at which time Secured Party shall reassign and deliver to PMB LLC such Released Units to the extent the same have not been sold, as provided herein or otherwise applied by Secured Party pursuant to the terms hereof and are still being held by Secured Party hereunder, together with appropriate instruments of reassignment and release. Any such reassignment of Released Units shall be without recourse, with no liability of or warranty by Secured Party and at the expense of Pledgor.

12. Waiver. Pledgor hereby waives any right it may now or hereafter have to require Secured Party, as a condition to the exercise of any remedy or other right against Pledgor hereunder or under any other document executed by Pledgor in connection with the Secured Obligations to proceed against PMB LLC or Vista LLC, any other person or entity, or against any other collateral assigned to Secured Party by Pledgor, PMB LLC or Vista LLC or any other person or entity (including any other Class A Partnership Units of Secured Party).

14. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement or the Pledge Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

15. Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

In the event that such mediation does not resolve the Dispute within ten (10) business days, the Dispute shall be resolved at the written request of any party to this Agreement by binding arbitration using applicable arbitration procedures of JAMS located in San Diego, California pursuant to California law. The parties shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from JAMS. If they are unable to do so within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, then JAMS shall designate an arbitrator. The arbitration shall be final and binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall award attorneys' fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 16 shall not prevent any party from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the state of California (to which all parties hereto consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such party under this Agreement or the Pledge Documents or to prevent irreparable harm and injury. The court's jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited only to the temporary, preliminary, or permanent equitable relief sought; all other claims initiated under this Agreement between

the parties hereto shall be determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section 16.

17. Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns. This Agreement and the benefits hereof may not be assigned by Pledgor without the prior written consent of Secured Party and any attempted assignment shall be null and void, ab initio and of no force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Pledge Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Pledgor and Secured Party with respect to the security interest governed hereby and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such persons or entities, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless expressly stated herein, none of the provisions of the LP Agreement or any documents given in connection therewith shall be superseded, changed, affected or impaired hereby; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the LP Agreement, Secured Party hereby consents to the pledge and security interest provided for herein.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

20. Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Pledge Documents, Pledgor shall not be personally liable under this Agreement or the other Pledge Documents for the Secured Obligations, except to the extent of Pledgor’s interest in the Collateral, and the sole recourse of Secured Party against Pledgor under this Agreement or the other Pledge Documents for any Secured Obligations shall be against the Collateral, whether by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or other remedies set forth in the Pledge Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. The foregoing limitation of liability shall not, however, prejudice the rights of Secured Party to:

(a) Name Pledgor as a party defendant in any action, proceeding, reference or arbitration, in each case, however, subject to the limitations above.

(b) Assert any unpaid Secured Obligations as a defense or offset to or against any claim or cause of action made or alleged against Secured Party by Pledgor; or

(c) Exercise self-help remedies such as setoff or foreclosure against the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or any other collateral given as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement.
