NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Business
HCP, Inc., a Standard & Poors (S&P) 500 company, together with its consolidated entities (collectively, HCP or the Company), invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States (U.S.). The Company is a Maryland corporation and was organized to qualify as a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) in 1985. The Company is headquartered in Irvine, California, with offices in Nashville, Tennessee and San Francisco, California. The Company acquires, develops, leases, manages and disposes of healthcare real estate, and provides financing to healthcare providers. The Companys portfolio is comprised of investments in the following five healthcare segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) post-acute/skilled nursing, (iii) life science, (iv) medical office and (v) hospital. The Company makes investments within the healthcare segments using the following five investment products: (i) properties under lease, (ii) debt investments, (iii) developments and redevelopments, (iv) investment management and (v) investments in senior housing operations utilizing the structure permitted by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, which is commonly referred to as RIDEA.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from managements estimates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HCP, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures and variable interest entities (VIEs) that it controls through voting rights or other means. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Certain amounts in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. For periods through March 31, 2014, operating results for real estate assets sold have been reclassified from continuing to discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of income (see Note 4).
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, including an allowance for straight-line rent receivables, for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. For straight-line rent amounts, the Companys assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease.
The Company evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants, operators and borrowers on a monthly and quarterly basis. The Companys evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, individual and portfolio property performance, credit enhancements, liquidity and other factors. The Companys tenants, borrowers and operators furnish property, portfolio and guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other information, on a monthly or quarterly basis; the Company utilizes this financial information to calculate the lease or debt service coverages that it uses as a primary credit quality indicator. Lease and debt service coverage information is evaluated together with other property, portfolio and operator performance information, including revenue, expense, net operating income, occupancy, rental rate, reimbursement trends, capital expenditures and EBITDA, along with liquidity. The Company evaluates, on a monthly basis or immediately upon a change in circumstances, its tenants, operators and borrowers ability to service their obligations with the Company.
In connection with the Companys quarterly loans receivable and direct financing leases (DFLs) (collectively, Finance Receivables) review process, Finance Receivables are assigned an internal rating of Performing, Watch List or Workout. Finance Receivables that are deemed Performing meet all present contractual obligations, and collection and timing of all amounts owed is reasonably assured. Watch List Finance Receivables meet all present contractual obligations; however, the timing and/or collection of all amounts owed may not be reasonably assured. Workout Finance Receivables are defined as Finance Receivables where the Company has determined, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement.
Finance Receivables are placed on nonaccrual status when management determines that the collectibility of contractual amounts is not reasonably assured. If the ultimate collectibility of the recorded nonaccrual Finance Receivable balance is in doubt, the cost recovery method is used, and cash collected is applied to first reduce the carrying value of the Finance Receivable. Otherwise, the cash basis method is used, whereby income may be recognized to the extent cash is received. Generally, the Company returns a Finance Receivable to accrual status when all delinquent payments become current under the terms of the loan or lease agreements and collectibility of remaining loan or lease payments is no longer in doubt.
Allowances are established for Finance Receivables based upon an estimate of probable losses on an individual basis, if they are determined to be impaired. Finance Receivables are impaired when it is deemed probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan or lease. An allowance is based upon the Companys assessment of the borrowers or lessees overall financial condition, economic resources, payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors and, if appropriate, the net realizable value of any collateral. These estimates consider all available evidence, including the expected future cash flows discounted at the Finance Receivables effective interest rate, fair value of collateral, general economic conditions and trends, historical and industry loss experience, and other relevant factors, as appropriate.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08). This update changes the requirements for reporting and the definition of discontinued operations. Based on the current revisions, the disposal of a component of an entity, or a group of components of an entity, is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results when certain defined criteria are met. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2014 and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. On April 1, 2014, the Company early adopted ASU 2014-08; the adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). This update changes the guidance for recognizing revenue. ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2017 to the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
(3) Real Estate Property Investments
On June 6, 2014, the Company acquired a portfolio of 20 care homes for $127 million (£75.8 million) subject to long-term triple-net leases. These facilities are located throughout the United Kingdom (UK) and are leased to Maria Mallaband Care Group. The triple-net leases have initial terms of 15 years, plus two 10-year extension options and provide for initial annual rent of $9.7 million (£5.8 million). The cross-defaulted contractual rents will increase annually based on the Retail Price Index (UK measure of inflation), subject to a floor of 2% and a ceiling of 4.5%.

The minimum lease payments receivable are primarily attributable to HCR ManorCare, Inc. (HCR ManorCare) ($23.3 billion and $23.5 billion at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively). The triple-net master lease with HCR ManorCare provides for annual rent of $524 million beginning April 1, 2014 (prior to April 1, 2014, annual rent was $506 million). The rent increases by 3.5% per year over the next two years and by 3% for the remaining portion of the initial lease term. The properties are grouped into four pools, and HCR ManorCare has a one-time extension option for each pool with rent increased for the first year of the extension option to the greater of fair market rent or a 3% increase over the rent for the prior year. Including the extension options, which the Company determined to be bargain renewal options, the four leased pools had total initial available terms ranging from 23 to 35 years.

Based on the Companys determination that the timing of the collection of all rental payments was no longer reasonably assured, rental revenue for the DFL Portfolio is recognized on a cash basis. Furthermore, the Company determined that the DFL Portfolio was not impaired at September 30, 2013, based on its belief that: (i) it was not probable that it will not collect all of the rental payments under the terms of the lease; and (ii) the fair value of the underlying collateral exceeded the DFL Portfolios $376 million carrying amount. The fair value of the DFL Portfolio was estimated based on a discounted cash flow model, which inputs are considered to be a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Inputs to this valuation model include real estate capitalization rates, industry growth rates and operating margins, some of which influence the Companys expectation of future cash flows from the DFL Portfolio and, accordingly, the fair value of its investment. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized DFL income of $5 million and $7 million, respectively, and received cash payments of $6 million in each period, respectively, from the DFL Portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized DFL income of $10 million and $14 million, respectively, and received cash payments of $12 million in each period from the DFL Portfolio. The carrying value of the DFL Portfolio was $372 million and $374 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At June 30, 2014, the Company believes the fair value of the collateral supporting this loan is in excess of its carrying value.

Other Secured Loans
Barchester Loan. On May 2, 2013, the Company acquired £121 million ($188 million) of subordinated debt at a discount for £109 million ($170 million). The loan was secured by an interest in 160 facilities leased and operated by Barchester Healthcare (Barchester). On August 23, 2013, the Company acquired an additional investment in this loan of £9 million ($14 million) at a discount for £5 million ($8 million). This loan accrued interest on its face value at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a weighted-average margin of 3.14%. This loan investment was financed by a GBP denominated draw on the Companys revolving line of credit facility that is discussed in Note 10. On September 6, 2013, the Company received £129 million ($202 million) from the par payoff of its Barchester debt investments. As a result, the Company recognized interest income of $24 million primarily representing the debt investments unamortized discounts. A portion of the proceeds from the Barchester repayment were used to repay the total outstanding amount of the Companys GBP denominated draw on its revolving line of credit facility.
Tandem Health Care Loan. On July 31, 2012, the Company closed a mezzanine loan facility to lend up to $205 million to Tandem Health Care (Tandem), as part of the recapitalization of a post-acute/skilled nursing portfolio. The Company funded $100 million (the First Tranche) at closing and funded an additional $102 million (the Second Tranche) in June 2013. At June 30, 2014, the loans were subordinate to $ 442 million of senior mortgage debt. The loans bear interest at fixed rates of 12% and 14% per annum for the First and Second Tranches, respectively. This loan facility has a total term of up to 63 months from the First Tranche closing, is prepayable at the borrowers option and is secured by real estate partnership interests. The loans are subject to prepayment premiums if repaid on or before the third anniversary from the First Tranche closing date.
Delphis Operations, L.P. Loan. The Company holds a secured term loan made to Delphis Operations, L.P. (Delphis or the Borrower) that is collateralized by assets of the Borrower. The Borrowers collateral is comprised primarily of a partnership interest in an operating surgical facility that leases a property owned by the Company. This loan is on cost recovery status. The carrying value of the loan, net of an allowance for loan losses of $13 million, was $17.5 million and $18.1 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received cash payments from the Borrower of $0.6 million. At June 30, 2014, the Company believes the fair value of the collateral supporting this loan is in excess of its carrying value.

The notes mature in June 2020 and are non-callable through June 2016. The notes bear interest on their par value at a fixed rate of 12.25% per annum, with an original issue discount resulting in a yield to maturity of 12.5%. This investment was financed by a GBP denominated unsecured term loan that is discussed in Note 10. These senior unsecured notes are accounted for as marketable debt securities and classified as held-to-maturity.
(10) Debt
Bank Line of Credit and Term Loan
On March 31, 2014, the Company amended its unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the Facility) with a syndicate of banks, which was scheduled to mature in March 2016, increasing the borrowing capacity by $500 million to $2.0 billion. The amended Facility matures on March 31, 2018, with a one-year committed extension option. Borrowings under the Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon the Companys debt ratings. The Company pays a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on its debt ratings. Based on the Companys debt ratings at June 30, 2014, the margin on the Facility was 0.925%, and the facility fee was 0.15%. The Facility also includes a feature that will allow the Company to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $310 million outstanding under the Facility with a weighted average effective interest rate of 1.42%.
On July 30, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a £137 million ($234 million at June 30, 2014) four-year unsecured term loan (the Term Loan). Based on the Companys debt ratings at June 30, 2014, the Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of GBP LIBOR plus 1.20%. Concurrent with the closing of the Term Loan, the Company entered into a four-year interest rate swap contract that fixes the interest rate of the Term Loan at 1.81%, subject to adjustments based on the Companys debt ratings. The Term Loan contains a one-year committed extension option.
The Facility and Term Loan contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements, including cross-default provisions to other indebtedness. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreements, (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%, (ii) limit the ratio of Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%, (iii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 60% and (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times. The Facility and Term Loan also require a Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $9.5 billion at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with each of these restrictions and requirements of the Facility and Term Loan.
Senior Unsecured Notes
At June 30, 2014, the Company had senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance of $6.9 billion. At June 30, 2014, interest rates on the notes ranged from 2.79% to 6.99% with a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.06% and a weighted average maturity of six years. The senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants including limitations on debt, maintenance of unencumbered assets, cross-acceleration provisions and other customary terms. The Company believes it was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2014.
On February 12, 2014, the Company issued $350 million of 4.20% senior unsecured notes due 2024. The notes were priced at 99.537% of the principal amount with an effective yield-to-maturity of 4.257%; net proceeds from this offering were $346 million.
On February 1, 2014, the Company repaid $400 million of maturing senior unsecured notes, which accrued interest at a rate of 2.7%. The senior unsecured notes were repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the Companys November 2013 bond offering.
On December 16, 2013, the Company repaid $400 million of maturing senior unsecured notes, which accrued interest at a rate of 5.65%. The senior unsecured notes were repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the Companys November 2013 bond offering.
On November 12, 2013, the Company issued $800 million of 4.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023. The notes were priced at 99.540% of the principal amount with an effective yield to maturity of 4.307%; net proceeds from this offering were $789 million.

Mortgage Debt
At June 30, 2014, the Company had $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding secured by 94 healthcare facilities (including redevelopment properties) with a carrying value of $1.5 billion. At June 30, 2014, interest rates on the mortgage debt ranged from 0.44% to 8.69% with a weighted average effective interest rate of 6.20% and a weighted average maturity of three years.
Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is collateralized by real estate assets and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires maintenance of insurance on the assets and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into or terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt is also cross-collateralized by multiple assets and may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Companys business. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes may have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Companys business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Companys policy is to expense legal costs as they are incurred.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risks arise when one or more operators, tenants or obligors related to the Companys investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company regularly monitors various segments of its portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks. The Company does not have significant foreign operations.
The following table provides information regarding the Companys concentrations with respect to certain operators and tenants; the information provided is presented for the gross assets and revenues that are associated with certain operators and tenants as percentages of the respective segments and total Companys assets and revenues:

Brookdale is subject to the registration and reporting requirements of the SEC and is required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. The information related to Brookdale contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been derived from SEC filings made by Brookdale, as the case may be, or other publicly available information, or was provided to the Company by Brookdale, and the Company has not verified this information through an independent investigation or otherwise. The Company has no reason to believe that this information is inaccurate in any material respect, but the Company cannot assure the reader of its accuracy. The Company is providing this data for informational purposes only, and encourages the reader to obtain Brookdales publicly available filings, which can be found at the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
To mitigate the credit risk of leasing properties to certain senior housing and post-acute/skilled nursing operators, leases with operators are often combined into portfolios that contain cross-default terms, so that if a tenant of any of the properties in a portfolio defaults on its obligations under its lease, the Company may pursue its remedies under the lease with respect to any of the properties in the portfolio. Certain portfolios also contain terms whereby the net operating profits of the properties are combined for the purpose of securing the funding of rental payments due under each lease.
Credit Enhancement Guarantee
Certain of the Companys senior housing facilities serve as collateral for $108 million of debt (maturing May 1, 2025) that is owed by a previous owner of the facilities. This indebtedness is guaranteed by the previous owner who has an investment grade credit rating. These senior housing facilities, which are classified as DFLs, had a carrying value of $372 million as of June 30, 2014.

(13) Segment Disclosures
The Company evaluates its business and makes resource allocations based on its five business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) post-acute/skilled nursing, (iii) life science, (iv) medical office and (v) hospital. Under the senior housing, post-acute/skilled nursing, life science and hospital segments, the Company primarily invests, through the acquisition and development of real estate, in single operator or tenant properties and debt issued by operators in these sectors. Under the medical office segment, the Company invests through the acquisition and development of MOBs, which generally require a greater level of property management. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in the Companys 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There were no intersegment sales or transfers during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income from continuing operations (NOI), adjusted (cash) NOI and interest income of the investments in each segment.
Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, marketable equity securities, deferred financing costs and, if any, real estate held-for-sale. Interest expense, depreciation and amortization and non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining the Companys performance measure. See Note 11 for other information regarding concentrations of credit risk.

(1) Represents rental and related revenues, tenant recoveries and income from DFLs.
(2) NOI is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. The Company defines NOI as rental and related revenues, including tenant recoveries, resident fees and services, and income from DFLs, less property level operating expenses. NOI excludes interest income, investment management fee income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, litigation settlement, impairments, impairment recoveries, other income, net, income taxes, equity income from and impairments of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and discontinued operations. The Company believes NOI provides relevant and useful information because it reflects only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents them on an unleveraged basis. Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL accretion, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles, and lease termination fees. Adjusted NOI is sometimes referred to as cash NOI. The Company uses NOI and adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess and compare property level performance. The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income as defined by GAAP because it does not reflect the aforementioned excluded items. Further, the Companys definition of NOI may not be comparable to the definition used by other REITs or real estate companies, as those companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

Restricted stock and certain of the Companys performance restricted stock units are considered participating securities, because dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest, which require the use of the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Options to purchase approximately 1.4 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock that had an exercise price (including deferred compensation expense) in excess of the average closing market price of the Companys common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the Companys earnings per share calculations because they are anti-dilutive. Restricted stock and performance restricted stock units representing 0.8 million and 0.4 million shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included because they are anti-dilutive. Additionally, 6.1 million shares issuable upon conversion of 4.0 million DownREIT units during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were not included because they are anti-dilutive. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, 6.0 million shares issuable upon conversion of 3.9 million DownREIT units were not included because they are anti-dilutive.

(16) Variable Interest Entities
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
At June 30, 2014, the Company leased 48 properties to a total of seven VIE tenants and has additional investments in a loan and marketable debt securities to VIE borrowers. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.
The Company leased 48 properties to a total of seven tenants that have been identified as VIEs (VIE tenants). These VIE tenants are thinly capitalized entities that rely on the cash flows generated from the senior housing facilities to pay operating expenses, including the rent obligations under their leases. The Company has no formal involvement in these VIE tenants beyond its investment. The Company does not consolidate the VIE tenants because it does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economics.
The Company holds an interest-only, senior secured term loan made to a borrower (Delphis Operations, L.P.) that has been identified as a VIE (see Note 6 for additional information on the Delphis loan). The Company does not consolidate the VIE because it does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. The loan is collateralized by all of the assets of the borrower (comprised primarily of interests in partnerships that operate surgical facilities, of which one partnership is a tenant of the Company).
The Company holds commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie MAC) through a special purpose entity that has been identified as a VIE. The Company does not consolidate the VIE because it does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. The CMBS issued by the VIE are backed by mortgages on senior housing facilities.
The carrying value and classification of the related assets, liabilities and maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Companys involvement with these VIEs are presented below at June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

(1) The Companys maximum loss exposure related to the VIE tenants represents the future minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the respective leases, which may be mitigated by re-leasing the properties to new tenants. The Companys maximum loss exposure related to its loans and marketable debt securities to the VIE borrowers represents its current aggregate carrying amount.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company has not provided, and is not required to provide, financial support through a liquidity arrangement or otherwise, to its unconsolidated VIEs, including circumstances in which it could be exposed to further losses (e.g., cash shortfalls). See Notes 5 and 6 for additional descriptions of the nature, purpose and activities of the Companys unconsolidated VIEs and interests therein.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
In September 2013, the Company made loans to two entities that entered into a tax credit structure (Tax Credit Subsidiaries). The Company consolidates the Tax Credit Subsidiaries because they are VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The assets and liabilities of the Tax Credit Subsidiaries substantially consist of notes receivable, prepaid expenses, notes payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities generated from their operating activities. Assets generated by the operating activities of the Tax Credit Subsidiaries may only be used to settle their contractual obligations.
(17) Fair Value Measurements

(18) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of loans receivable, CMBS, bank line of credit, term loan, mortgage debt and other debt are based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments with similar maturities. The fair values of interest-rate and currency swap contracts as well as common stock warrants are determined based on observable and unobservable market assumptions using standardized pricing models. The fair values of senior unsecured notes and marketable equity and debt securities, excluding CMBS, are determined utilizing market quotes.

(1) Derivative assets are recorded in other assets, net and derivative liabilities are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Represents three interest-rate swap contracts, which hedge fluctuations in interest payments on variable-rate secured debt due to overall changes in hedged cash flows.
(3) Hedges fluctuations in interest payments on variable-rate unsecured debt due to fluctuations in the underlying benchmark interest rate.
(4) Currency swap contract (buy USD/sell GBP) hedges the foreign currency exchange risk related to a portion of the Companys forecasted interest receipts on GBP denominated senior unsecured notes. Represents a currency swap to sell £7.2 million at a rate of 1.5695 on various dates through June 2016.
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations on specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized financial obligations or assets. Utilizing derivative instruments allows the Company to manage the risk of fluctuations in interest and foreign currency rates related to the potential impact these changes could have on future earnings and forecasted cash flows. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market and credit risk. Market risk is defined as the potential for loss in value of a derivative instrument due to adverse changes in market prices. Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract fails to perform or meet their financial obligation. The Company does not obtain collateral associated with its derivative contracts, but monitors the credit standing of its counterparties on a regular basis. Should a counterparty fail to perform, the Company would incur a financial loss to the extent that the associated derivative contract was in an asset position. At June 30, 2014, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties to its outstanding derivative contracts.
At June 30, 2014, the Company expects that the hedged forecasted transactions for each of the outstanding qualifying cash flow hedging relationships remain probable of occurring, and as a result, no gains or losses recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there was no ineffective portion related to outstanding hedges.
To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate and foreign currency markets, the Company performed a market sensitivity analysis on its outstanding hedging instruments. The Company applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves and foreign currency exchange rates of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the instruments change in fair value.

(20) Subsequent Events
Brookdale Lease Amendments and Terminations and the Formation of Two RIDEA Joint Ventures (Brookdale Transaction)
On July 31, 2014, Brookdale completed its acquisition of Emeritus and became the Companys largest senior housing relationship. In April 2014, the Company and Brookdale agreed to close a multiple-element transaction that, upon its closing, will:
· amend existing lease agreements on 153 HCP-owned senior housing communities, including the removal of embedded purchase options relating to 30 properties, in exchange for future rent reductions;
· terminate existing lease agreements on 49 HCP-owned senior housing properties, including the removal of embedded purchase options relating to 19 properties. Subsequent to the termination, the Company will contribute these 49 properties to a newly formed consolidated RIDEA partnership; Brookdale will be a 20% equity partner and will manage the facilities on the Companys behalf; and
· create a new $1.2 billion unconsolidated joint venture that will own 14 campuses of continuing care retirement communities in a RIDEA structure (the CCRC JV). HCP will own a 49% equity interest; Brookdale will own a 51% equity interest and will manage these communities on behalf of the CCRC JV.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical factual statements are forward-looking statements. We intend to have our forward-looking statements covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with those provisions. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our and our officers intent, belief or expectation as identified by the use of words such as may, will, project, expect, believe, intend, anticipate, seek, forecast, plan, estimate, could, would, should and other comparable and derivative terms or the negatives thereof. In addition, we, through our officers, from time to time, make forward-looking oral and written public statements concerning our expected future operations, strategies, securities offerings, growth and investment opportunities, dispositions, capital structure changes, budgets and other developments. Readers are cautioned that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith belief and reasonable assumptions based upon current information, we can give no assurance that our expectations or forecasts will be attained. Therefore, readers should be mindful that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. As more fully set forth under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations contained in the forward-looking statements include:
(a) Changes in global, national and local economic conditions, including a prolonged period of weak economic growth;
(b) Volatility or uncertainty in the capital markets, including changes in the availability and cost of capital (impacted by changes in interest rates and the value of our common stock); which may adversely impact our ability to consummate transactions or reduce the earnings from potential transactions;
(c) Our ability to manage our indebtedness level and changes in the terms of such indebtedness;
(d) The effect on healthcare providers of recently enacted and pending Congressional legislation addressing entitlement programs and related services, including Medicare and Medicaid, which may result in future reductions in reimbursements;
(e) The ability of our operators, tenants and borrowers to conduct their respective businesses in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase their revenues and to generate sufficient income to make rent and loan payments to us and our ability to recover investments made, if applicable, in their operations;
(f) The financial weakness of some operators and tenants, including potential bankruptcies and downturns in their businesses, which results in uncertainties regarding our ability to continue to realize the full benefit of such operators and/or tenants leases;

Executive Summary
We are a Maryland corporation and were organized to qualify as a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) that, together with our unconsolidated joint ventures, invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the U.S. We acquire, develop, lease, manage and dispose of healthcare real estate, and provide financing to healthcare providers. At June 30, 2014, our portfolio of investments, including properties in our Investment Management Platform, consisted of interests in 1,178 facilities. Our Investment Management Platform represents the following joint ventures: (i) HCP Ventures III, LLC, (ii) HCP Ventures IV, LLC and (iii) the HCP Life Science ventures.
Our business strategy is based on three principles: (i) opportunistic investing, (ii) portfolio diversification and (iii) conservative financing. We actively redeploy capital from investments with lower return potential or shorter investment horizons into assets representing longer term investments with attractive risk-adjusted return potential. We make investments where the expected risk-adjusted return exceeds our cost of capital and strive to capitalize on our operator, tenant and other business relationships to grow our business.
Our strategy contemplates acquiring and developing properties on terms that are favorable to us. Generally, we prefer larger, more complex private transactions that leverage our management teams experience and our infrastructure. We follow a disciplined approach to enhancing the value of our existing portfolio, including ongoing evaluation of potential disposition of properties that no longer fit our strategy.
We primarily generate revenue by leasing healthcare properties under long term leases with fixed and/or inflation indexed escalators. Most of our rents and other earned income from leases are received under triple net leases or leases that provide for substantial recovery of operating expenses; however, some of our medical office and life science leases are structured as gross or modified gross leases. Operating expenses are generally related to medical office buildings (MOBs) and life science leased properties and senior housing properties managed by eligible independent contractors (RIDEA properties). Accordingly, for such MOBs, life science facilities and RIDEA properties, we incur certain property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management fees, utilities, employee costs for resident care and insurance. Our growth for these assets depends, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income and other earned income from leases by increasing rental rates and occupancy levels; (ii) maximize tenant recoveries given underlying lease structures; and (iii) control operating and other expenses. Our operations are impacted by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions.
2014 Transaction Overview
Brookdale Lease Amendments and Terminations and the Formation of Two RIDEA Joint Ventures (Brookdale Transaction)
On July 31, 2014, Brookdale Senior Living Inc, (Brookdale) completed its acquisition of Emeritus Corporation (Emeritus) and became our largest senior housing relationship. In April 2014, HCP and Brookdale agreed to a multiple-element transaction that, upon its closing, will:
· amend existing lease agreements on 153 HCP-owned senior housing communities, including the removal of embedded purchase options in leases relating to 30 properties;
· terminate existing lease agreements on 49 HCP-owned senior housing properties, including the removal of embedded purchase options in leases relating to 19 properties. Subsequent to the lease termination, we will contribute these 49 properties to a newly formed consolidated RIDEA partnership; Brookdale will be a 20% equity partner and will manage the facilities on our behalf; and
· create a new $1.2 billion unconsolidated joint venture that will own 14 campuses of continuing care retirement communities in a RIDEA structure (the CCRC JV). HCP will own a 49% equity interest; Brookdale will own a 51% equity interest and will manage these communities on behalf of the CCRC JV.
UK Real Estate Portfolio Investment
On June 6, 2014, we acquired a portfolio of 20 care homes for $127 million (£75.8 million) subject to long-term triple-net leases. These facilities are located throughout the United Kingdom (UK) and represent our first real estate investment in the UK. The facilities are leased to Maria Mallaband Care Group. The triple-net leases have initial terms of 15 years, plus two 10-year extension options and provide for initial annual rent of $9.7 million (£5.8 million). The cross-defaulted contractual rents will escalate based on the Retail Price Index (UK measure of inflation), subject to a floor of 2% and a ceiling of 4.5%.
Other Investment Transactions
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we completed $260 million of other investments and commitments in eight assets across our senior housing, life science and medical office segments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we funded $109 million for construction and other capital projects, primarily in our life science, medical office and senior housing segments.
Financing Activities
On February 12, 2014, we issued $350 million of 4.20% senior unsecured notes due 2024. The notes priced at 99.537% of the principal amount with an effective yield-to-maturity of 4.257%; net proceeds from this offering were $346 million.
On March 31, 2014, we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility and increased it by $500 million to $2.0 billion. The amended facility reduces our funded interest cost by 17.5 basis points and extends the maturity date to March 31, 2018. Based on our current credit ratings, the amended facility bears interest annually at LIBOR plus 92.5 basis points and has a facility fee of 15.0 basis points. Other terms of the amended facility were substantially unchanged, including a one-year extension option at our discretion, and the ability to increase the commitments by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, subject to customary conditions.
Dividends
On July 31, 2014, we announced that our Board declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.545 per share. The common stock dividend will be paid on August 26, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 11, 2014 and represents an annualized dividend pay rate of $2.18 per share.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; our critical accounting policies have not changed during 2014.
Results of Operations
We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our five business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) post-acute/skilled nursing, (iii) life science, (iv) medical office and (v) hospital. Under the senior housing, post-acute/skilled nursing, life science and hospital segments, we primarily invest, through the acquisition and development, in single operator or tenant properties and debt issued by operators in these sectors. Under the medical office segment, we invest, through the acquisition and development, single or multi-tenant MOBs, which generally require a greater level of property management.
We use net operating income from continuing operations (NOI) and adjusted NOI to assess and compare property level performance, including our same property portfolio (SPP), to make decisions about resource allocations, and to assess and compare property level performance. We believe these measures provide investors relevant and useful information because they reflect only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and present them on an unleveraged basis. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income as defined by GAAP since NOI excludes certain components from net income. Further, NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs or real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional segment information and the relevant reconciliations from net income to NOI and adjusted NOI.
Operating expenses are generally related to MOB and life science leased properties and senior housing properties managed by eligible independent contractors (RIDEA properties). We generally recover all or a portion of MOB and life science expenses from the tenants (tenant recoveries). The presentation of expenses as operating or general and administrative is based on the underlying nature of the expense. Periodically, we review the classification of expenses between categories and make revisions based on changes in the underlying nature of the expenses.
Our evaluation of results of operations by each business segment includes an analysis of our SPP and our total property portfolio. SPP information allows us to evaluate the performance of our leased property portfolio under a consistent population by eliminating changes in the composition of our portfolio of properties. We identify our SPP as stabilized properties that remained in operations and were consistently reported as leased properties or RIDEA properties for the duration of the year-over-year comparison periods presented. Accordingly, it takes a stabilized property a minimum of 12 months in operations under a consistent reporting structure to be included in our SPP. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s) controls the physical use of at least 80% of the space) or 12 months from the acquisition date. Newly completed developments, including redevelopments, are considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up or 24 months from the date the property is placed in service. SPP NOI excludes certain non-property specific operating expenses that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
As part of the Brookdale Transaction, we will contribute 49 properties that are currently triple-net leased into a RIDEA structure, with Brookdale managing the communities and acquiring a 20% equity interest in the RIDEA entities. For the 49 properties in the RIDEA structure, we expect to prospectively report the resident level revenues and corresponding operating expenses in our consolidated financial statements rather than the triple-net rents. On or about August 29, 2014 (the Anticipated Closing Date), we expect to record an approximate $36 million net termination fee in rental and related revenues, which represents the termination value for the 49 leases, net of the cost to write-off the related straight-line rent assets and lease intangibles. For periods subsequent to the Anticipated Closing Date, we expect increases in resident fees and services revenue and operating expenses and a decrease in rental and related revenues.
Further, we created the CCRC JV, which will be managed by Brookdale. For periods subsequent to the Anticipated Closing Date, we expect to record our share of income from unconsolidated joint ventures; and as a result of deconsolidating three properties, we expect a decrease in rental and related revenues and depreciation expense.
See additional information regarding the Brookdale Transaction in Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated financial Statements.
Segment NOI and Adjusted NOI
The tables below provide selected operating information for our SPP and total property portfolio for each of our five business segments. Our consolidated SPP consists of 1,071 properties representing properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized on or prior to January 1, 2013 and that remained in operations under a consistent reporting structure through June 30, 2014. Our consolidated total property portfolio represents 1,104 and 1,075 properties at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and excludes properties that were sold.
Results are as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (dollars and square feet in thousands except per capacity data):

(1) From our past presentation of SPP for the three months ended June 30, 2013, we removed three MOBs from SPP that were sold and a MOB that was placed into redevelopment in 2013, which no longer meets our criteria for SPP as of the date it was placed into redevelopment.
(2) Represents rental and related revenues and tenant recoveries.
SPP NOI and Adjusted NOI . SPP NOI increased primarily as a result of increased occupancy, annual rent escalations and termination fees. SPP adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of increased occupancy and annual rent escalations.
Total Portfolio NOI . Total portfolio NOI decreased primarily as a result of decreased additional rents, partially offset by the impact of our medical office acquisitions in 2014 and termination fees.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, 588,000 square feet of new and renewal leases commenced at an average annual base rent of $20.98 per square foot compared to 607,000 square feet of expiring and terminated leases with an average annual base rent of $23.34 per square foot. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired 122,000 square feet with an average annual base rent of $36.66 per square foot.

(1) From our past presentation of SPP for the three months ended June 30, 2013, we removed two hospitals from SPP that were sold.
(2) Represents capacity as reported by the respective tenants or operators for the twelve-month period and a quarter in arrears from the periods presented. Certain operators in our hospital portfolio are not required under their respective leases to provide operational data.
NOI and Adjusted NOI . SPP and total portfolio NOI decreased due to a net $12 million correction reducing previously recognized straight-line rents and increasing amortization of below market lease intangibles related to our Medical City Dallas hospital in 2013. SPP and total portfolio adjusted NOI decreased primarily as a result of the timing of additional rent payments.
Other Income and Expense Items
Interest income
Interest income increased $3 million to $17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of interest earned from the second tranche funding in June 2013 of our mezzanine loan facility to Tandem Health Care (see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $2 million to $107 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in indebtedness and lower interest rates.
Our exposure to expense fluctuations related to our variable rate indebtedness is substantially mitigated by our interest rate swap contracts. For a more detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Item 3.
The table below sets forth information with respect to our debt, excluding premiums and discounts (dollars in thousands):

(1) Excludes $73 million and $79 million at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of other debt that represents non-interest bearing life care bonds and occupancy fee deposits at certain of our senior housing facilities. At June 30, 2014 and 2013, $72 million and $86 million of variable-rate mortgages, respectively, and a £137 million ($234 million and $208 million, respectively) term loan are presented as fixed-rate debt as the interest payments were swapped from variable to fixed.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4 million to $113 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of a change in estimate of the depreciable life and residual value of certain properties due to a potential sale.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $5 million to $29 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of increases in professional fees for transactional costs.
Other income, net
Other income, net decreased $3 million to $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily the result of realized gain contingency in 2013 for a past portfolio acquisition.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Segment NOI and Adjusted NOI
The tables below provide selected operating information for our SPP and total property portfolio for each of our five business segments. Our consolidated SPP consists of 1,065 properties representing properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized on or prior to January 1, 2013 and that remained in operations under a consistent reporting structure through June 30, 2014. Our consolidated total property portfolio represents 1,104 and 1,075 properties at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and excludes properties classified as discontinued operations.
Results are as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (dollars and square feet in thousands except per capacity data):

(1) From our past presentation of SPP for the six months ended June 30, 2013, we removed three MOBs from SPP that were sold and a MOB that was placed into redevelopment in 2013, which no longer meets our criteria for SPP as of the date it was placed into redevelopment.
(2) Represents rental and related revenues and tenant recoveries.
SPP NOI and Adjusted NOI . SPP NOI increased primarily as a result of increased occupancy, annual rent escalations and termination fees. SPP adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of increased occupancy and annual rent escalations.
Total Portfolio NOI and Adjusted NOI . In addition to the impact of our SPP, our total portfolio NOI and adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of our medical office acquisitions in 2014 and 2013.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 1.0 million square feet of new and renewal leases commenced at an average annual base rent of $21.57 per square foot compared to 1.1 million square feet of expiring and terminated leases with an average annual base rent of $23.51 per square foot. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired 122,000 square feet with an average annual base rent of $36.66 per square foot.

(1) From our past presentation of SPP for the six months ended June 30, 2013, we removed two hospitals from SPP that were sold.
(2) Represents capacity as reported by the respective tenants or operators for the twelve-month period and a quarter in arrears from the periods presented. Certain operators in our hospital portfolio are not required under their respective leases to provide operational data.
NOI and Adjusted NOI . SPP and total portfolio NOI increased primarily due to a net $12 million correction reducing previously recognized straight-line rents and increasing amortization of below market lease intangibles related to our Medical City Dallas hospital during 2013. SPP and total portfolio adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of annual rent escalations.
Other Income and Expense Items
Interest income
Interest income increased $7 million to $34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of interest earned from the second tranche funding in June 2013 of our mezzanine loan facility to Tandem Health Care (see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information) made in 2013.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $4 million to $213 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in indebtedness.
Our exposure to expense fluctuations related to our variable rate indebtedness is substantially mitigated by our interest rate swap contracts. For a more detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Item 3.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $8 million to $221 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of a change in estimate of the depreciable life and residual value of certain properties due to a potential sale, the impact of our medical office and life science development projects placed in service and senior housing acquisitions in 2013.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $6 million to $50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of increases in professional fees for transactional costs.
Other income, net
Other income, net decreased $13 million to $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily the result of 2013 gains of $11 million from the sale of marketable securities and a realized gain contingency in 2013 for a past portfolio acquisition.
Discontinued operations
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold two post-acute/skilled nursing facilities, a hospital and a MOB, recognizing gains of $28 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold one property, realizing a gain of $1 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal liquidity needs are to: (i) fund recurring operating expenses, (ii) meet debt service requirements including principal payments and maturities in the last six months of 2014, (iii) fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs, (iv) fund acquisition and development activities, and (v) make dividend distributions. We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next 12 months will be adequate to fund our business operations, debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and cash dividends to shareholders. Capital requirements relating to maturing indebtedness, acquisitions and development activities may require funds from borrowings and/or sales of equity and debt securities.
Access to capital markets impacts our cost of capital and ability to refinance maturing indebtedness, as well as our ability to fund future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional securities or secured debt. Credit ratings impact our ability to access capital and directly impact our cost of capital as well. For example, as noted below, our revolving line of credit facility accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon our debt ratings. We also pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends upon our debt ratings. As of July 31, 2014, we had a credit rating of Baa1 from Moodys, BBB+ from Standard & Poors (S&P) and BBB+ from Fitch on our senior unsecured debt securities.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $608 million and $572 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows is primarily the result of the following: (i) the impact from our investments in 2013, (ii) assets placed in service during 2013 and (iii) rent escalations and resets in 2013 and 2014. Our cash flows from operations are dependent upon the occupancy levels of our buildings, rental rates on leases, our tenants performance on their lease obligations, the level of operating expenses and other factors.
The following are significant investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014:
· made investments of $395 million (development and acquisition of real estate and loans), net of proceeds from sales of real estate of $37 million;
· paid dividends on common stock of $500 million, which were generally funded by cash provided by our operating activities; and
· repaid $657 million of mortgages and senior unsecured notes and raised proceeds of $660 million from sales of senior unsecured notes and borrowings under our unsecured revolving line of credit facility.
Debt
Bank Line of Credit and Term Loan
On March 31, 2014, we amended our unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the Facility) with a syndicate of banks, which was scheduled to mature in March 2016, increasing the borrowing capacity by $500 million to $2.0 billion. The amended Facility matures on March 31, 2018, with a one-year committed extension option. Borrowings under the Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon our debt ratings. We pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on our debt ratings. Based on our debt ratings at July 31, 2014, the margin on the Facility was 0.925%, and the facility fee was 0.15%. The Facility also includes a feature that will allow us to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. At June 30, 2014, we had $310 million outstanding under the Facility with a weighted average effective interest rate of 1.42%.
On July 30, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a £137 million ($234 million at June 30, 2014) four-year unsecured term loan (the Term Loan). Based on the Companys debt ratings at June 30, 2014, the Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of GBP LIBOR plus 1.20%. Concurrent with the closing of the Term Loan, we entered into a four-year interest rate swap contract that fixes the rate of the Term Loan at 1.81%, subject to adjustments based on our debt ratings. The Term Loan contains a one-year committed extension option.
The Facility and Term Loan contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreements, (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%, (ii) limit the ratio of Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%, (iii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 60% and (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times. The Facility and Term Loan also require a Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $9.5 billion at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with each of these restrictions and requirements of the Facility and Term Loan.
Senior Unsecured Notes
At June 30, 2014, we had senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance of $6.9 billion. Interest rates on the notes ranged from 2.79% to 6.99% with a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.06% and a weighted average maturity of six years at June 30, 2014. The senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants including limitations on debt, maintenance of unencumbered assets, cross-acceleration provisions and other customary terms. We believe we were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2014.
Mortgage Debt
At June 30, 2014, we had $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding is secured by 94 healthcare facilities (including redevelopment properties) with a carrying value of $1.5 billion. Interest rates on the mortgage debt ranged from 0.44% to 8.69% with a weighted average effective interest rate of 6.20% and a weighted average maturity of three years at June 30, 2014.
Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is collateralized by real estate assets and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires maintenance of insurance on the assets, and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into and terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt is also cross-collateralized by multiple assets and may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets.

Other Debt
At June 30, 2014, we had $73 million of non-interest bearing life care bonds at two of our continuing care retirement communities and non-interest bearing occupancy fee deposits at two of our senior housing facilities, all of which were payable to certain residents of the facilities (collectively, Life Care Bonds). The Life Care Bonds are generally refundable to the residents upon the termination of the contract or upon the successful resale of the unit.
Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations on specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized financial obligations or assets. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

(1) Represents three interest-rate swap contracts, which hedge fluctuations in interest payments on variable-rate secured debt due to overall changes in hedged cash flows.
For a more detailed description of our derivative instruments, see Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Item 3.
Equity
At June 30, 2014, we had 459 million shares of common stock outstanding. At June 30, 2014, equity totaled $11.0 billion, and our equity securities had a market value of $19.2 billion.
At June 30, 2014, non-managing members held an aggregate of 4 million units in five limited liability companies (DownREITs) for which we are the managing member. The DownREIT units are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of our common stock or, at our option, shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications).
Shelf Registration
We have a prospectus that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) as part of a registration statement on Form S-3ASR, using a shelf registration process which expires in July 2015. Under the shelf process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. The securities described in the prospectus include common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants.
Funds From Operations (FFO)
We believe FFO applicable to common shares, diluted FFO applicable to common shares, and basic and diluted FFO per common share are important supplemental non-GAAP measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets utilizes straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue.
FFO is defined as net income applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from acquisition and dispositions of depreciable real estate or related interests, impairments of, or related to, depreciable real estate, plus real estate and DFL depreciation and amortization, with adjustments for joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) definition; however, other REITs may report FFO differently or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from ours. FFO as adjusted represents FFO before the impact of impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, transaction-related items (defined below), severance-related items and preferred stock redemption charges. Management believes that FFO as adjusted is useful to investors, because it allows investors to compare the Companys results to prior reporting periods without the effect of items that by their nature would not be comparable. This measure is a modification of the NAREIT definition of FFO and should not be used as an alternative to net income or NAREIT FFO.
Details of certain items that affect comparability are discussed under Results of Operations above. The following is a reconciliation of net income applicable to common shares, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to FFO (in thousands, except per share data):

(1) Transaction-related items include significant direct costs (e.g., pursuit, due diligence and closing) and unusual gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease amendment or restructure activities. The three and six months ended June 30, 2014 include the impact of $6.8 million resulting from the Brookdale Transaction (primarily pre-closing legal fees) and UK real estate portfolio investment (primarily stamp-duty taxes that are common for UK real estate transactions).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures as described under Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Except in limited circumstances, our risk of loss is limited to our investment in the joint venture and any outstanding loans receivable. In addition, we have certain properties which serve as collateral for debt that is owed by a previous owner of certain of our facilities, as described under Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our risk of loss for these certain properties is limited to the outstanding debt balance plus penalties, if any. We have no other material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources except those described below under Contractual Obligations.

(1) Excludes $73 million of other debt that represents Life Care Bonds that have no scheduled maturities.
(2) Represents £137 million translated into U.S. dollars.
(3) Represents commitments to finance development projects and related working capital.
(4) Represents construction and other commitments for developments in progress.
(5) Interest on variable-rate debt is calculated using rates in effect at June 30, 2014.
Inflation
Our leases often provide for either fixed increases in base rents or indexed escalators, based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures, and/or additional rent based on increases in the tenants operating revenues. Most of our MOB leases require the tenant to pay a share of property operating costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities. Substantially all of our senior housing, life science, post-acute/skilled nursing and hospital leases require the operator or tenant to pay all of the property operating costs or reimburse us for all such costs. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be offset, in part, by the operator or tenant expense reimbursements and contractual rent increases described above.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of new accounting standards. There are no accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet adopted by us, that we believe will materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We use derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Derivatives are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. See Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate and foreign currency markets, we performed a market sensitivity analysis on our hedging instruments. We applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves and foreign currency exchange rates of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the change in fair value. Assuming a one percentage point change in the underlying interest rate curve and foreign currency exchange rates, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $5 million. See Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional analysis details.
Interest Rate Risk. At June 30, 2014, we are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on the following: (i) $310 million of variable-rate line of credit borrowings and (ii) $9 million of variable-rate mortgage debt payable (excludes $72 million of variable-rate mortgage notes that have been hedged through interest-rate swap contracts) that are partially offset by properties with a gross value of $83 million that are subject to leases where the payments fluctuate with changes in LIBOR. Additionally, our exposure to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates excludes our GBP denominated $234 million (£137 million) variable-rate Term Loan that has been hedged through interest-rate swap contracts.
Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt and assets unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. Conversely, changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and investments would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. Assuming a one percentage point increase in the interest rate related to the variable-rate investments and variable-rate debt, and assuming no other changes in the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2014, net interest income would improve by approximately $2 million, or less than $0.01 per common sh are on a diluted basis.
Foreign Currency Risk. At June 30, 2014, our exposure to foreign currencies primarily relates to UK investments in leased real estate, senior unsecured notes and the related GBP denominated cash flows from such investments. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of GBP denominated borrowings and foreign currency swap contracts.
Market Risk. We have investments in marketable debt securities classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts through maturity. We consider a variety of factors in evaluating an other-than-temporary decline in value, such as: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our current adjusted carrying value; the issuers financial condition, capital strength and near-term prospects; any recent events specific to that issuer and economic conditions of its industry; and our investment horizon in relationship to an anticipated near-term recovery in the market value, if any. At June 30, 2014, the fair value and carrying value of marketable debt securities were $293 million and $252 million, respectively.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our 2014 Incentive Plan and 2006 Incentive Plan provide that the value of the shares withheld shall be the closing price of our common stock on the date the relevant transaction occurs.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we have filed certain agreements as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These agreements may contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and
· were not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;
· may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement;
· may apply contract standards of materiality that are different from materiality under the applicable securities laws; and
· were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.
Accordingly, these representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time. The Company acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Form 10-Q not misleading.

During any diligence period provided under the A Purchase Agreement, HCP shall be entitled to review all diligence materials relating to the A Facilities made available pursuant to the A Purchase Agreement. From and after the execution of the A Purchase Agreement until the consummation of the closing thereunder, all decisions with respect to amending such agreement and exercising any rights and remedies of the buyer thereunder (including, without limitation, the right of the buyer to elect to terminate the A Purchase Agreement for any reason) shall be made jointly and reasonably by HCP and Brookdale.
(b) The B Purchase Agreement (i) provides for an aggregate purchase price of $118.5 million for the B Facility, and (ii) permits BKD B Acquisition to assign all of its rights thereunder to CCRC P-HoldCo.

Assignment ). During any diligence period provided under the B Purchase Agreement, HCP shall be entitled to review all diligence materials relating to the B Facility made available pursuant to the B Purchase Agreement. From and after the execution of the B Purchase Agreement until the consummation of the closing thereunder, all decisions with respect to amending such agreement and exercising any rights and remedies of the buyer thereunder (including, without limitation, the right of the buyer to elect to terminate the B Purchase Agreement for any reason) shall be made jointly and reasonably by HCP and Brookdale.
(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) PropCo Acquisition Amount shall mean an amount equal to the applicable purchase price (which amount shall include the amount of any prepayment penalty paid to the applicable sellers lender which the buyer under the B Purchase Agreement is required to pay) for the PropCo Acquisition Facility, without adjustment for any closing pro-rations or any other items and (ii) OpCo Acquisition Amount shall mean an amount equal to the applicable purchase price for the OpCo Acquisition Facilities, without adjustment for any closing pro-rations or any other items.

If the sum of the PropCo Acquisition Amount and the OpCo Acquisition Amount, in the aggregate, is greater than the Aggregate Acquisition Amount, such excess shall be retained by CCRC P-HoldCo and CCRC Op-HoldCo, allocated pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of the PropCo Acquisition Amount and the OpCo Acquisition Amount, for the benefit of its members.
(d) If (i) the Closing has not occurred as of the last day that the buyer under the A Purchase Agreement, or the buyer under the B Purchase Agreement, has the right to close under such purchase agreement, then (assuming such buyer has not elected to terminate such purchase agreement as described above) and (ii) the Parties are unable to agree (in the sole and absolute discretion of each) on the terms of a joint venture between the Parties (or an Affiliate of each) to acquire the applicable facilities, then Brookdale shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion and through a wholly-owned subsidiary) to consummate the acquisition of the B Facility and the A Facilities. In such event, on the date of such closing HCP or a subsidiary of HCP shall make an acquisition loan (an Acquisition Loan ) to a subsidiary of Brookdale based on the terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Schedule 24 . Each of HCP and Brookdale will cooperate prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the B Purchase Agreement and the A Purchase Agreement to prepare the documentation required to give effect to the terms of this Section 4.4(d) .

In the event Brookdale (or its subsidiaries) shall acquire the B Facility and/or the A Facility prior to the Closing, in connection with the Closing, Brookdale shall cause its applicable subsidiary that acquires such facilities to (i) execute an interim operations agreement substantially in the form of the Interim Operations Agreement which agreement shall terminate at the earlier of Closing and the Outside Closing Date, (ii) enter into a purchase and sale agreement with CCRC P-HoldCo, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to HCP and Brookdale, pursuant to which such subsidiary shall sell the B Facility (or 100% of the equity interest in the owner of the B Facility), free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances other than those that existed immediately prior to such subsidiarys acquisition thereof, to CCRC P-HoldCo at Closing for the same purchase price contemplated by the B Purchase Agreement and (iii) enter into a purchase and sale agreement with CCRC Op-HoldCo, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to HCP and Brookdale, pursuant to which such subsidiary shall sell each of the A Facilities (or 100% of the equity interests in the owner(s) of the A Facilities), free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances other than those that existed immediately prior to such subsidiarys acquisition thereof, to CCRC Op-HoldCo at Closing for the same purchase price contemplated by the A Purchase Agreement. The purchase and sale agreements shall include customary closing conditions including the parties obtaining all Required Governmental Approvals and the repayment of the Acquisition Loan (a JV Closing Payoff ) and shall provide that the buyer or seller of the applicable facilities will receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to the amount by which (A) the aggregate entrance fee liabilities with respect to such facilities as of 11:59:59 p.m., local time, on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date, exceed (in the case of a credit to the buyer) or are less than (in the case of a credit to the seller) (B) the aggregate entrance fee liabilities with respect to such facilities as of 11:59:59 p.m., local time, on the date immediately prior to the date on which Brookdale (or its subsidiaries) acquired such facilities (it being understood that, for purposes of this sentence, the term entrance fee liabilities shall mean, with respect to any facility, the (1) refundable entry fees, (2) deferred revenue attributable to entry fees, (3) My Choice or PIPP refund liabilities and (4) master trust liabilities to the extent not included in prior clauses (1)-(3), all determined with respect to such facility in accordance with GAAP) .
Brookdale and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation to make any representation and warranty with respect to the B Facility and the A Facilities in the purchase and sale agreements in favor of the buyer, the Parties agreeing and acknowledging that Brookdale shall make the representation and warranty set forth in Section 7.2(e) at Closing. The Parties agree that (in the event that the Closing occurs) HCP and its affiliates shall continue to be obligated (notwithstanding Brookdales prior acquisition of the B Facility and the A Facilities) to comply with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 3.2 and Section 3.3) in relation to funding the acquisition by CCRC P-HoldCo and CCRC Op-HoldCo of the B Facility and the A Facilities, respectively. If the Closing shall occur, Brookdale shall be reimbursed at Closing in accordance with Section 8.3(b) and (c) for costs and expenses incurred by Brookdale and its subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of the B Facility and the A Facilities. If Brookdale acquires the B Facility and the A Facilities prior to Closing, Section 8.1 shall be modified to reflect the additional closing deliveries contemplated by this Section 4.4(d) .

2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this Agreement ) is dated as of [ ], 20 (the Award Date ) by and between HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Corporation ), and [ ] (the Director ).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS , pursuant to the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the Plan ), the Corporation hereby grants to the Director, effective as of the date hereof, an award of restricted stock units under the Plan (the Award ), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Director, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2. Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Director an Award with respect to an aggregate of 3,000 stock units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) (the Stock Units ). As used herein, the term stock unit means a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporations Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Director if such Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. The Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and is further subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and any rules adopted by the Administrator, as such rules are in effect from time to time.
3. Vesting . Subject to Section 8 below, the Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to one third (1/3 rd ) of the total number of the Stock Units (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Award Date.
4. Continuance of Service . The vesting schedule requires continued service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Director to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and
benefits upon or following a termination of services as provided in Section 8 below or under the Plan. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued service commitment by the Corporation or interferes with the right of the Corporation to increase or decrease the compensation of the Director from the rate in existence at any time.
5. Dividend and Voting Rights .
(a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Units. The Director shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Director.
(b) Dividend Equivalent Rights. As of any date that the Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend on its Common Stock, the Corporation shall pay the Director an amount equal to the per share cash dividend paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock on such date multiplied by the number of Stock Units remaining subject to this Award as of the related dividend payment record date. No such payment shall be made with respect to any Stock Units which, as of such record date, have either been paid pursuant to Section 7 or terminated pursuant to Section 8.
6. Restrictions on Transfer . Neither the Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Corporation, or (b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7. Timing and Manner of Payment of Stock Units . On or as soon as administratively practical following each vesting of the applicable portion of the total Award pursuant to the terms hereof (and in all events within sixty (60) days after such vesting event), the Corporation shall deliver to the Director a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal to the number of Stock Units subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date. The Corporations obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Stock Units is subject to the condition precedent that the Director or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Stock Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances that the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. The Director shall have no further rights with respect to any Stock Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to Section 8.
8. Effect of Termination of Services . T he Directors Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof
prior to the first date that the Director is no longer a member of the Board of Directors (the Severance Date ), regardless of the reason for the termination of the Directors services; provided, however, that if the Directors services are terminated as a result of the Directors death, Total Disability (as defined below) or Retirement (as defined below), the Directors Stock Units, to the extent such units are not then vested, shall become fully vested as of the Severance Date and shall be paid in accordance with Section 7. If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable Severance Date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Director, or the Directors beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be.
For purposes of the Award, Total Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). For purposes of the Award, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Directors services, the Director (1) has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board, or (2) has attained age 60 and completed at least fifteen (15) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board.
9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events; Change in Control Event .
(a) Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporations stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Stock Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award. No such adjustment shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are paid pursuant to Section 5(b).
(b) Change in Control Event. Upon the occurrence of an event contemplated by Section 7.2 or 7.3 of the Plan and notwithstanding any provision of Section 7.2 and 7.3 of the Plan to the contrary, the Award (to the extent outstanding at the time of such event) shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms following such event (subject to adjustment in connection with such event pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan); provided, however, that the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the vesting of the Stock Units will accelerate in connection with such event and the extent of any such accelerated vesting; provided, further, that any Stock Units that are so accelerated will be paid on or as soon as administratively practical after (and in all events within sixty (60) days after) the first to occur of the original vesting date of such accelerated Stock Units set forth in Section 3 above or the Participants separation from service.
10. Tax Withholding . Upon vesting of any Stock Units or any distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, the Director or other person entitled to receive such distribution may irrevocably elect, in such manner and at such time or
times prior to any applicable tax date as may be permitted or required under Section 8.5 of the Plan and rules established by the Administrator, to have the Corporation reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates; provided, however, that in the event that the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Stock Units, the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Director and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Director any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.
11. Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Director at the Directors last address reflected on the Corporations payroll records. Any notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Director is no longer an Eligible Person, shall be deemed to have been duly given five (5) business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.
12. Plan . The Award and all rights of the Director under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Director agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Director acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Director unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.
13. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Any such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. Any such amendment that materially and adversely affects the Directors rights under this Agreement requires the consent of the Director in order to be effective with respect to the Award. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Director hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other
provision hereof. The Director acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.
14. Limitation on Directors Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Director shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Stock Units, as and when payable hereunder. The Award has been granted to the Director in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the Director.
15. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
16. Section Headings . The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.
17. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.
18. Construction . It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.
THE DIRECTORS ACCEPTANCE OF THE AWARD THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC STOCK PLAN AWARD RECORDKEEPING SYSTEM MAINTAINED BY THE CORPORATION OR ITS DESIGNEE CONSTITUTES THE DIRECTORS AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF, AND THAT THE AWARD IS GRANTED UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT.

2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
CEO ANNUAL LTIP RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS CEO ANNUAL LTIP RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this Agreement ) is dated as of [ ], 20 (the Award Date ) by and between HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Corporation ), and [ ] (the Participant ).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS , the Compensation Committee has determined that, based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals with respect to 20 , the Participant is eligible to receive the award of restricted stock units, as described below, and
WHEREAS , pursuant to the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the Plan ), the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the date hereof, an award of restricted stock units under the Plan (the Award ), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2. Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant an Award with respect to an aggregate of [ ] stock units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) (the Stock Units ). As used herein, the term stock unit means a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporations Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. The Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and is further subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and any rules adopted by the Administrator, as such rules are in effect from time to time.
3. Vesting . One third (1/3 rd ) of the total number of the Stock Units shall vest immediately on the Award Date. Subject to Section 8 below, the remainder of the Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to one third (1/3 rd ) of the total number of the Stock Units (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Award Date.
4. Continuance of Employment . The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 8 below or under the Plan.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Participants status as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to increase or decrease the Participants other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his or her consent thereto.
5. Dividend and Voting Rights .
(a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Units. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant.
(b) Dividend Equivalent Rights. As of any date that the Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend on its Common Stock, the Corporation shall pay the Participant an amount equal to the per share cash dividend paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock on such date multiplied by the number of Stock Units remaining subject to this Award as of the related dividend payment record date. No such payment shall be made with respect to any Stock Units which, as of such record date, have either been paid pursuant to Section 7 or terminated pursuant to Section 8.
6. Restrictions on Transfer . Neither the Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Shares of Common Stock delivered in respect of the first tranche of the Stock Units which vests immediately on the Award Date may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily, for a period of one (1) year following the Award Date. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentences shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Corporation, or (b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7. Timing and Manner of Payment of Stock Units . On or as soon as administratively practical following each vesting of the applicable portion of the total Award pursuant to the terms hereof (and in all events within sixty (60) days after such vesting event), the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal to the number of Stock Units subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date; provided, however, that in the event that the vesting and payment of the Stock Units is triggered by the Participants separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) and the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of such separation from service, the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment of the Stock Units until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the Participants separation from service with the Corporation for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Participants death, if and to the extent such delay in payment is required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Corporations obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Stock Units is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Stock Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances that the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Stock Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to Section 8.
8. Effect of Termination of Employment or Services . If the Participant ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary (the date of such termination of employment or service is referred to as the Participants Severance Date ), the Participants Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon the Severance Date regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participants employment or services; provided, however, that if the Participants employment is terminated as a result of the Participants death, Total Disability (as defined below) or Retirement (as defined below), the Participants Stock Units, to the extent such units are not then vested, shall become fully vested as of the Severance Date and shall be paid in accordance with Section 7. If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable Severance Date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participants beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be.
For purposes of the Award, Total Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). For purposes of the Award, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Participants employment or services, the Participant has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an officer of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall be entitled to any accelerated vesting with respect to the Stock Units in connection with the Participants severance provided for in the circumstances in, and subject to, the express terms of any written employment agreement entered into between the Participant and Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and that is in effect on the Severance Date.
9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events; Change in Control Event .
(a) Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporations stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Stock Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award. No such adjustment shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are paid pursuant to Section 5(b).
(b) Change in Control Event. Upon the occurrence of an event contemplated by Section 7.2 or 7.3 of the Plan and notwithstanding any provision of Section 7.2 and 7.3 of the Plan or any employment agreement to the contrary, the Award (to the extent outstanding at the time of such event) shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms following such event (subject to adjustment in connection with such event pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan); provided, however, that the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the vesting of the Stock Units will accelerate in connection with such event and the extent of any such accelerated vesting; provided, further, that any Stock Units that are so accelerated will be paid on or as soon as administratively practical after (and in all events within sixty (60) days after) the first to occur of the original vesting date of such accelerated Stock Units set forth in Section 3 above or the Participants separation from service (and subject to the six-month delayed payment provision of Section 7 in the event payment is triggered by the Participants separation from service). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may provide for payment of the Stock Units in connection with such event, to the extent such payment does not result in noncompliance with Section 409A of the Code, including providing for payment, in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(A), (B) or (C) promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (or any similar successor provision), which regulation generally provides that a deferred compensation arrangement may be terminated in limited circumstances following a dissolution or change in control of the Company, provided that any otherwise outstanding and unvested units shall become vested upon (or, to the extent necessary to effect the acceleration, immediately prior to) such a termination.
10. Tax Withholding . Upon vesting of any Stock Units or any distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, the Participant or other person entitled to receive such distribution may irrevocably elect, in such manner and at such time or times prior to any applicable tax date as may be permitted or required under Section 8.5 of the Plan and rules established by the Administrator, to have the Corporation reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of
whole shares, valued at their then fair market value to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates; provided, however, that in the event that the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Stock Units, the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.
11. Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the Participants last address reflected on the Corporations payroll records. Any notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is no longer an Eligible Person, shall be deemed to have been duly given five (5) business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.
12. Plan . The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.
13. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Any such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. Any such amendment that materially and adversely affects the Participants rights under this Agreement requires the consent of the Participant in order to be effective with respect to the Award. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Participant hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof. The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.
14. Limitation on Participants Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Stock Units, as and when payable hereunder. The Award has been granted to the Participant in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the Participant.
15. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
16. Section Headings . The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.
17. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.
18. Construction . It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.
19. Clawback Policy . The Stock Units are subject to the terms of the Corporations recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of the Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the Stock Units (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the Stock Units).
THE PARTICIPANTS ACCEPTANCE OF THE AWARD THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC STOCK PLAN AWARD RECORDKEEPING SYSTEM MAINTAINED BY THE CORPORATION OR ITS DESIGNEE CONSTITUTES THE PARTICIPANTS AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF, AND THAT THE AWARD IS GRANTED UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT.

2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
CEO ANNUAL LTIP OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS CEO ANNUAL LTIP OPTION AGREEMENT (this Agreement ) is dated as of [ ], 20 (the Award Date ) by and between HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Corporation ), and [ ] (the Grantee ).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS , the Compensation Committee has determined that, based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals with respect to 20 , the Participant is eligible to receive the nonqualified stock option, as described below, and
WHEREAS , pursuant to the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the Plan ), the Corporation hereby grants to the Grantee, effective as of the date hereof, a nonqualified stock option, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Grantee, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2. Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Grantee a nonqualified stock option (the Option ) to purchase [ ] shares of the Corporations Common Stock at a price of $[ ] per share (the Exercise Price ). The number of shares and Exercise Price per share of the Option are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan. The Option is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and is further subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and any rules adopted by the Administrator, as such rules are in effect from time to time.
3. Vesting; Limits on Exercise; Incentive Stock Option Status .
(a) Vesting. One third (1/3 rd ) of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option shall vest immediately on the Award Date. The remainder of the Option shall vest and become exercisable as to one third (1/3 rd ) of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Award Date. The Option may be exercised only to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable.
(b) Limits on Exercise. The following limits shall apply with respect to the Option:
(i) Cumulative Exercisability . To the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable, the Grantee has the right to exercise the Option (to the extent not previously exercised), and such right shall continue, until the expiration or earlier termination of the Option.
(ii) No Fractional Shares . Fractional share interests shall be disregarded, but may be cumulated.
(c) Nonqualified Stock Option. The Option is a nonqualified stock option and is not, and shall not be, an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.
4. Continuance of Employment/Service Required; No Employment/ Service Commitment .
The vesting schedule applicable to the Option requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Option and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 6 below or under the Plan.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued employment or service commitment by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, affects the Grantees status, if he or she is an employee, as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Grantee any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or service, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Grantees other compensation.
5. Method of Exercise of Option .
The Option shall be exercisable by the delivery to the Secretary of the Corporation (or such other person as the Administrator may require pursuant to such administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may implement from time to time) of:
(a) a written notice stating the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Option or by the completion of such other administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may require from time to time,
(b) payment in full for the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased in cash, check or by electronic funds transfer to the Corporation;
(c) any written statements or agreements required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan; and
(d) satisfaction of the tax withholding provisions of Section 8.5 of the Plan.
The Administrator also may, but is not required to, authorize a non-cash payment alternative by one or more of the following methods: (a) notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator, or (b) subject to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, a cashless exercise with a third party who provides simultaneous financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates) the exercise of the Option. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator and in accordance with such procedures as the Administrator may impose, the Grantee may elect in connection with an exercise of the Option (on his/her exercise notice to the Corporation (or its delegate)) to satisfy the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased and/or the minimum amount of any tax withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries arising in connection with the exercise by a reduction in the number shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable by the Corporation to the Grantee in connection with such exercise, in which case the number of shares withheld (or immediately reacquired in connection with such exercise, as the case may be) by the Corporation shall be the number of whole shares that have a fair market value as of the date of such exercise (with the fair market value of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan) necessary to satisfy such Exercise Price and/or withholding obligation, as applicable.
6. Early Termination of Option .

Subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or pursuant to Section 6(b) above, if the Grantee ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, the following rules shall apply (the last day that the Grantee is employed by or provides services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary is referred to as the Grantees Severance Date ):
(i) other than as expressly provided below in this Section 6(c), (a) the Grantee will have until the date that is 8 months after his or her Severance Date to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 8-month period following the

(v) if the termination of the Grantees employment or services is the result of the Grantees Retirement (as defined below), (a) the Option will immediately become fully vested as of the Severance Date, (b) the Grantee will have until the date that is 3 years after the Grantees Severance Date to exercise the Option, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 3-year period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 3-year period; provided, however, that in the event of the Grantees death or Total Disability at any time during the 3-year period, the Grantee (or his or her beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) will have until the date that is the later of (i) 12 months after the date of the Grantees death or Total Disability or (ii) 3 years after the Grantees Severance Date to exercise

For purposes of the Option, Total Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). For purposes of the Option, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Grantees employment or services, the Grantee has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an officer of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

(2) has been dishonest or committed or engaged in an act of theft, embezzlement or fraud, a breach of confidentiality, an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential information; has breached a fiduciary duty, or willfully and materially violated any other duty, law, rule, regulation or policy of the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses);
(3) has materially breached any of the provisions of any agreement with the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(4) has engaged in unfair competition with, or otherwise acted intentionally in a manner injurious to the reputation, business or assets of, the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; has improperly induced a vendor or customer to break or terminate any contract with the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or has induced a principal for whom the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee shall be entitled to any accelerated vesting with respect to the Option, and any applicable periods in which to exercise the Option following the Severance Date, in connection with the Grantees severance provided for in the circumstances in, and subject to, the express terms of any written employment agreement entered into between the Grantee and Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and that is in effect on the Severance Date.
In all events the Option (and any post-termination exercise period provided above in this Section 6(c) or in any written employment agreement as contemplated by the preceding paragraph) is subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or as contemplated by Section 6(b). The Administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the Grantee continues to render employment or services for purposes of this Agreement.

2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
CEO 3-YEAR LTIP RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS CEO 3-YEAR LTIP RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this Agreement ) is dated as of [ ], 20 (the Award Date ) by and between HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Corporation ), and [ ] (the Participant ).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS , the Compensation Committee has determined that, based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals with respect to 20 , the Participant is eligible to receive an award of restricted stock units, as described below, and
WHEREAS , pursuant to the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the Plan ), the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the date hereof, an award of restricted stock units under the Plan (the Award ), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2. Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant a target Award of [ ] stock units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) (the Performance Units ) with respect to the performance period beginning on January 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2016 (the Performance Period ). As used herein, the term stock unit means a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporations Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Performance Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Performance Units vest pursuant to Section 3. The Performance Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. The Performance Units are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan. The Compensation Committee (the Committee ) of the Board is the administrator of the Plan for purposes of the Performance Units. The Performance Units are subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and are further subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and any rules adopted by the Committee, as such rules are in effect from time to time.
3. Vesting . Subject to this Section 3, the number of Performance Units ultimately earned and vested under this Award shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto based on whether the Corporation has attained certain pre-
established performance goals with respect to the Performance Period. The determination as to whether the Corporation has attained the performance goals set forth in Exhibit A with respect to the Performance Period shall be made by the Committee (the Committee Determination ). The Committee Determination shall be made no later than March 15 following the end of the Performance Period. The Performance Units shall not be deemed vested pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement earlier than the date that the Committee makes such determination, as required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
4. Continuance of Employment . The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through the date of the Committee Determination (the Vesting Period), as provided in Section 3, as a condition to the vesting of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the Vesting Period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 8 below or under the Plan. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Participants status as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to increase or decrease the Participants other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his or her consent thereto.
5. Dividend and Voting Rights .
(a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Units. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Performance Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Performance Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant.
(b) Dividend Equivalent Rights. During such time as each Performance Unit remains outstanding and prior to the distribution of such Performance Unit in accordance with Section 7, the Participant will have the right to receive, with respect to such Performance Unit, an amount equal to the amount of any ordinary cash dividend paid by the Corporation on a share of Common Stock (a Dividend Equivalent Right ); provided, however, that any Dividend Equivalent Right credited with respect to an outstanding Performance Unit (including, without limitation, any dividend equivalent credited through and including the date of the Committee Determination) that does not vest pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall immediately terminate upon the forfeiture of such Performance Unit, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment with respect thereto. In the case of Dividend Equivalent Rights credited with respect to an outstanding Performance Unit that
vests pursuant to Section 3, the Dividend Equivalent Rights will be paid to the Participant in cash (without interest) as soon as practicable after the Committee Determination and in all events not later than March 15 of the year that follows the Performance Period. Dividend Equivalent Rights will not be paid to the Participant with respect to any Performance Units that are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 or 8.
6. Restrictions on Transfer . Neither the Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Corporation, or (b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7 Timing and Manner of Payment. As soon as administratively practical following the Committee Determination (and in all events no later than March 15 following the end of the Performance Period), the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal to the number of Performance Units that vest in accordance with Section 3; provided, however, that in the event that the vesting and payment of the Performance Units is triggered by the Participants separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) and the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of such separation from service, the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment of the Performance Units until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the Participants separation from service with the Corporation for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Participants death, if and to the extent such delay in payment is required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Corporations obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Performance Units is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Performance Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances that the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Performance Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to this Agreement.
8. Termination of Employment
(a) Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. If, at any time during the Vesting Period, the Participants employment with the Corporation is terminated as a result of the Participants death, Disability or Retirement, the Performance Units will remain outstanding during the remainder of the Vesting Period and will remain subject to Section 3. The Participant will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the number of Performance Units the Participant would have received in accordance with Section 3, if any, had the Participant remained employed until the end of the Vesting Period. The pro rata portion will be based on the number of full months in the Performance Period during which
the Participant was employed as compared to the total number of months in the Performance Period. As used in this Agreement, Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). As used in this Agreement, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Participants employment or services, the Participant has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an officer of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.
(b) Forfeiture of Performance Units Upon Certain Terminations of Employment. If at any time during the Vesting Period, the Participants employment with the Corporation is terminated (i) by the Corporation, or (ii) by the Participant, excluding any termination by reason of the Participants Retirement, death or Disability, all of the Performance Units shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled in full effective as of such termination of employment and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect; provided, however, that in the event of the Participants severance the Participant shall be entitled to any vesting with respect to the Performance Units provided for in the circumstances in, and subject to, the express terms of any written employment agreement entered into between the Participant and the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and that is in effect at the time of the severance.
9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events; Change in Control Event .
(a) Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporations stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Performance Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award. No such adjustment shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are paid pursuant to Section 5(b).
(b) Change in Control Event. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any employment agreement or the HCP, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan (or successor plan), if a Change in Control Event with respect to the Corporation occurs at any time during the Vesting Period, the Performance Period for all outstanding Awards will be shortened, if such Performance Period has not already ended, so that the Performance Period will be deemed to have ended on the last day prior to such Change in Control Event and the Committee Determination pursuant to Section 3 shall be made within twenty (20) days following the Change in Control Event. A Participant shall become vested in a number of Performance Units, if any, determined in accordance with Section 3 based on such shortened Performance Period. On or as soon as administratively practical following the Change in Control Event (and in all events no later than thirty (30) days following such Change in Control Event), the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal to the number of Performance Units that vest in accordance with this Section 9(b).
10. Tax Withholding . Upon vesting of any Performance Units or any distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Performance Units, the Participant or other person entitled to receive such distribution may irrevocably elect, in such manner and at such time or times prior to any applicable tax date as may be permitted or required under Section 8.5 of the Plan and rules established by the Administrator, to have the Corporation reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates; provided, however, that in the event that the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Performance Units, the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.
11. Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the Participants last address reflected on the Corporations payroll records. Any notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is no longer an Eligible Person, shall be deemed to have been duly given five (5) business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.
12. Plan . The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.
13. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Any such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. Any such amendment that materially and adversely affects the Participants rights under this Agreement requires the consent of the Participant in order to be effective with respect to the Award. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does
not adversely affect the interests of the Participant hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof. The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.
14. Limitation on Participants Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Performance Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Performance Units, as and when payable hereunder. The Award has been granted to the Participant in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the Participant.
15. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
16. Section Headings . The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.
17. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.
18. Construction . It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.
19. Clawback Policy . The Performance Units are subject to the terms of the Corporations recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of the Performance Units or any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the Performance Units (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the Performance Units).
THE PARTICIPANTS ACCEPTANCE OF THE AWARD THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC STOCK PLAN AWARD RECORDKEEPING SYSTEM MAINTAINED BY THE CORPORATION OR ITS DESIGNEE CONSTITUTES THE PARTICIPANTS AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF, AND THAT THE AWARD IS GRANTED UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT.

2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
NEO ANNUAL LTIP RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS NEO ANNUAL LTIP RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this Agreement ) is dated as of [ ], 20 (the Award Date ) by and between HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Corporation ), and [ ] (the Participant ).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS , the Compensation Committee has determined that, based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals with respect to 20 , the Participant is eligible to receive the award of restricted stock units, as described below, and
WHEREAS , pursuant to the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the Plan ), the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the date hereof, an award of restricted stock units under the Plan (the Award ), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2. Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant an Award with respect to an aggregate of [ ] stock units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) (the Stock Units ). As used herein, the term stock unit means a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporations Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. The Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and is further subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and any rules adopted by the Administrator, as such rules are in effect from time to time.
3. Vesting . One third (1/3 rd ) of the total number of the Stock Units shall vest immediately on the Award Date. Subject to Section 8 below, the remainder of the Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to one third (1/3 rd ) of the total number of the Stock Units (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Award Date.
4. Continuance of Employment . The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 8 below or under the Plan.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Participants status as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to increase or decrease the Participants other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his or her consent thereto.
5. Dividend and Voting Rights .
(a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Units. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant.
(b) Dividend Equivalent Rights. As of any date that the Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend on its Common Stock, the Corporation shall pay the Participant an amount equal to the per share cash dividend paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock on such date multiplied by the number of Stock Units remaining subject to this Award as of the related dividend payment record date. No such payment shall be made with respect to any Stock Units which, as of such record date, have either been paid pursuant to Section 7 or terminated pursuant to Section 8.
6. Restrictions on Transfer . Neither the Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Shares of Common Stock delivered in respect of the first tranche of the Stock Units which vests immediately on the Award Date may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily, for a period of one (1) year following the Award Date. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentences shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Corporation, or (b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7. Timing and Manner of Payment of Stock Units . On or as soon as administratively practical following each vesting of the applicable portion of the total Award pursuant to the terms hereof (and in all events within sixty (60) days after such vesting event), the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal to the number of Stock Units subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date; provided, however, that in the event that the vesting and payment of the Stock Units is triggered by the Participants separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) and the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of such separation from service, the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment of the Stock Units until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the Participants separation from service with the Corporation for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Participants death, if and to the extent such delay in payment is required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Corporations obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Stock Units is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Stock Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances that the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Stock Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to Section 8.
8. Effect of Termination of Employment or Services . If the Participant ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary (the date of such termination of employment or service is referred to as the Participants Severance Date ), the Participants Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon the Severance Date regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participants employment or services; provided, however, that if the Participants employment is terminated as a result of the Participants death, Total Disability (as defined below) or Retirement (as defined below), the Participants Stock Units, to the extent such units are not then vested, shall become fully vested as of the Severance Date and shall be paid in accordance with Section 7. If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable Severance Date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participants beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be.
For purposes of the Award, Total Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). For purposes of the Award, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Participants employment or services, the Participant (1) has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board, or (2) has attained age 60
and completed at least fifteen (15) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall be entitled to any accelerated vesting with respect to the Stock Units in connection with the Participants severance provided for in the circumstances in, and subject to, the express terms of any written employment agreement entered into between the Participant and Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and that is in effect on the Severance Date.
9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events; Change in Control Event .
(a) Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporations stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Stock Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award. No such adjustment shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are paid pursuant to Section 5(b).
(b) Change in Control Event. Upon the occurrence of an event contemplated by Section 7.2 or 7.3 of the Plan and notwithstanding any provision of Section 7.2 and 7.3 of the Plan or any employment agreement to the contrary, the Award (to the extent outstanding at the time of such event) shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms following such event (subject to adjustment in connection with such event pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan); provided, however, that the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the vesting of the Stock Units will accelerate in connection with such event and the extent of any such accelerated vesting; provided, further, that any Stock Units that are so accelerated will be paid on or as soon as administratively practical after (and in all events within sixty (60) days after) the first to occur of the original vesting date of such accelerated Stock Units set forth in Section 3 above or the Participants separation from service (and subject to the six-month delayed payment provision of Section 7 in the event payment is triggered by the Participants separation from service). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may provide for payment of the Stock Units in connection with such event, to the extent such payment does not result in noncompliance with Section 409A of the Code, including providing for payment, in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(A), (B) or (C) promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (or any similar successor provision), which regulation generally provides that a deferred compensation arrangement may be terminated in limited circumstances following a dissolution or change in control of the Company, provided that any otherwise outstanding and unvested units shall become vested upon (or, to the extent necessary to effect the acceleration, immediately prior to) such a termination.
10. Tax Withholding . Upon vesting of any Stock Units or any distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, the Participant or other person entitled to receive such distribution may irrevocably elect, in such manner and at such time or times
prior to any applicable tax date as may be permitted or required under Section 8.5 of the Plan and rules established by the Administrator, to have the Corporation reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates; provided, however, that in the event that the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Stock Units, the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.
11. Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the Participants last address reflected on the Corporations payroll records. Any notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is no longer an Eligible Person, shall be deemed to have been duly given five (5) business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.
12. Plan . The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.
13. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Any such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. Any such amendment that materially and adversely affects the Participants rights under this Agreement requires the consent of the Participant in order to be effective with respect to the Award.

other provision hereof. The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.
14. Limitation on Participants Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.

Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.

The Award has been granted to the Participant in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the Participant.
15. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(i) other than as expressly provided below in this Section 6(c), (a) the Grantee will have until the date that is 8 months after his or her Severance Date to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the
Option, to the extent exercisable for the 8-month period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 8-month period; provided, however, that in the event of the Grantees death or Total Disability (as defined below) at any time during the 8-month period, the Grantee (or his or her beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) will have until the date that is 12 months after the date of the Grantees death or Total Disability to exercise the Option, and the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 12-month period and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 12-month period;
(ii) other than as expressly provided below in this Section 6(c), if the Grantees employment or services are terminated by the Grantee for any reason, (a) the Grantee will have until the date that is 3 months after his or her Severance Date to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 3-month period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 3-month period;

(v) if the termination of the Grantees employment or services is the result of the Grantees Retirement (as defined below), (a) the Option will immediately become fully vested as of the Severance Date, (b) the Grantee will have until the date that is 3 years after the Grantees Severance Date to exercise the Option, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 3-year period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 3-year period; provided, however, that in the event of the Grantees death or Total Disability at any time during the 3-year period, the Grantee (or his or her beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) will have until the date that is the later of (i) 12 months after the date of the Grantees death or
Total Disability or (ii) 3 years after the Grantees Severance Date to exercise the Option, and the Option, to the extent exercisable for the period ending on such date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on such date.
For purposes of the Option, Total Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). For purposes of the Option, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Grantees employment or services, the Grantee (1) has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board, or (2) has attained age 60 and completed at least fifteen (15) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board.
For purposes of the Option, Cause means, except as otherwise provided in any written employment agreement entered into between the Grantee and Corporation, that the Grantee:
(1) has been negligent in the discharge of his or her duties to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, has refused to perform stated or assigned duties or is incompetent in or (other than by reason of a disability or analogous condition) incapable of performing those duties;
(2) has been dishonest or committed or engaged in an act of theft, embezzlement or fraud, a breach of confidentiality, an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential information; has breached a fiduciary duty, or willfully and materially violated any other duty, law, rule, regulation or policy of the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses);
(3) has materially breached any of the provisions of any agreement with the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(4) has engaged in unfair competition with, or otherwise acted intentionally in a manner injurious to the reputation, business or assets of, the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; has improperly induced a vendor or customer to break or terminate any contract with the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or has induced a principal for whom the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee shall be entitled to any accelerated vesting with respect to the Option, and any applicable periods in which to exercise the Option following the Severance Date, in connection with the Grantees severance provided for in the circumstances in, and subject to, the express terms of any written employment
agreement entered into between the Grantee and Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and that is in effect on the Severance Date.
In all events the Option (and any post-termination exercise period provided above in this Section 6(c) or in any written employment agreement as contemplated by the preceding paragraph) is subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or as contemplated by Section 6(b). The Administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the Grantee continues to render employment or services for purposes of this Agreement.
7. Non-Transferability . Except as set forth in Section 5.7 of the Plan, the Option and any other rights of the Grantee under this Agreement or the Plan are nontransferable and exercisable only by the Grantee. Except as set forth in Section 5.7 of the Plan, shares of Common Stock delivered in respect of the first tranche of the Option which vests immediately on the Award Date may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily, for a period of one (1) year following the Award Date.
8. Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Grantee at the address last reflected on the Corporations payroll records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Grantee is no longer employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, shall be deemed to have been duly given five (5) business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.
9. Plan . The Option and all rights of the Grantee under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, incorporated herein by this reference. The Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Grantee unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.
10. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect
the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof. The Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.
11. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.
12. Effect of this Agreement . Subject to the Corporations right to terminate the Option pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan, this Agreement shall be assumed by, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors to the Corporation.
13. Limitation on Grantees Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Grantee shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Option, as and when exercisable and actually exercised in accordance with the terms hereof. The Option has been granted to the Grantee in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the Grantee.
14. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
15. Section Headings . The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.
16. Clawback Policy . The Option is subject to the terms of the Corporations recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require forfeiture of the Option and repayment or forfeiture of any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the Option (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option).
THE GRANTEES ACCEPTANCE OF THE OPTION THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC STOCK PLAN AWARD RECORDKEEPING SYSTEM MAINTAINED BY THE CORPORATION OR ITS DESIGNEE CONSTITUTES THE GRANTEES AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF, AND THAT THE OPTION IS GRANTED UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT.

HCP, INC.
2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
NEO 3-YEAR LTIP RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS NEO 3-YEAR LTIP RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this Agreement ) is dated as of [ ], 20 (the Award Date ) by and between HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Corporation ), and [ ] (the Participant ).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS , the Compensation Committee has determined that, based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals with respect to 20 , the Participant is eligible to receive an award of restricted stock units, as described below, and
WHEREAS , pursuant to the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the Plan ), the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the date hereof, an award of restricted stock units under the Plan (the Award ), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2. Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant a target Award of [ ] stock units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) (the Performance Units ) with respect to the performance period beginning on January 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2016 (the Performance Period ). As used herein, the term stock unit means a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporations Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Performance Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Performance Units vest pursuant to Section 3. The Performance Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. The Performance Units are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan. The Compensation Committee (the Committee ) of the Board is the administrator of the Plan for purposes of the Performance Units. The Performance Units are subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and are further subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and any rules adopted by the Committee, as such rules are in effect from time to time.
3. Vesting . Subject to this Section 3, the number of Performance Units ultimately earned and vested under this Award shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto based on whether the Corporation has attained certain pre-
established performance goals with respect to the Performance Period. The determination as to whether the Corporation has attained the performance goals set forth in Exhibit A with respect to the Performance Period shall be made by the Committee (the Committee Determination ). The Committee Determination shall be made no later than March 15 following the end of the Performance Period. The Performance Units shall not be deemed vested pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement earlier than the date that the Committee makes such determination, as required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
4. Continuance of Employment . The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through the date of the Committee Determination (the Vesting Period), as provided in Section 3, as a condition to the vesting of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the Vesting Period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 8 below or under the Plan. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Participants status as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to increase or decrease the Participants other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his or her consent thereto.
5. Dividend and Voting Rights .
(a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Units. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Performance Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Performance Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant.
(b) Dividend Equivalent Rights. During such time as each Performance Unit remains outstanding and prior to the distribution of such Performance Unit in accordance with Section 7, the Participant will have the right to receive, with respect to such Performance Unit, an amount equal to the amount of any ordinary cash dividend paid by the Corporation on a share of Common Stock (a Dividend Equivalent Right ); provided, however, that any Dividend Equivalent Right credited with respect to an outstanding Performance Unit (including, without limitation, any dividend equivalent credited through and including the date of the Committee Determination) that does not vest pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall immediately terminate upon the forfeiture of such Performance Unit, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment with respect thereto. In the case of Dividend Equivalent Rights credited with respect to an outstanding Performance Unit that
vests pursuant to Section 3, the Dividend Equivalent Rights will be paid to the Participant in cash (without interest) as soon as practicable after the Committee Determination and in all events not later than March 15 of the year that follows the Performance Period. Dividend Equivalent Rights will not be paid to the Participant with respect to any Performance Units that are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 or 8.
6. Restrictions on Transfer . Neither the Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Corporation, or (b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7 Timing and Manner of Payment. As soon as administratively practical following the Committee Determination (and in all events no later than March 15 following the end of the Performance Period), the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal to the number of Performance Units that vest in accordance with Section 3; provided, however, that in the event that the vesting and payment of the Performance Units is triggered by the Participants separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) and the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of such separation from service, the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment of the Performance Units until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the Participants separation from service with the Corporation for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Participants death, if and to the extent such delay in payment is required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Corporations obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Performance Units is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Performance Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances that the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Performance Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to this Agreement.
8. Termination of Employment
(a) Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. If, at any time during the Vesting Period, the Participants employment with the Corporation is terminated as a result of the Participants death, Disability or Retirement, the Performance Units will remain outstanding during the remainder of the Vesting Period and will remain subject to Section 3. The Participant will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the number of Performance Units the Participant would have received in accordance with Section 3, if any, had the Participant remained employed until the end of the Vesting Period. The pro rata portion will be based on the number of full months in the Performance Period during which
the Participant was employed as compared to the total number of months in the Performance Period. As used in this Agreement, Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). As used in this Agreement, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Participants employment or services, the Participant (1) has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board, or (2) has attained age 60 and completed at least fifteen (15) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board.
(b) Forfeiture of Performance Units Upon Certain Terminations of Employment. If at any time during the Vesting Period, the Participants employment with the Corporation is terminated (i) by the Corporation, or (ii) by the Participant, excluding any termination by reason of the Participants Retirement, death or Disability, all of the Performance Units shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled in full effective as of such termination of employment and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect; provided, however, that in the event of the Participants severance the Participant shall be entitled to any vesting with respect to the Performance Units provided for in the circumstances in, and subject to, the express terms of any written employment agreement entered into between the Participant and the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and that is in effect at the time of the severance.
9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events; Change in Control Event .
(a) Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporations stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Performance Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award. No such adjustment shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are paid pursuant to Section 5(b).
(b) Change in Control Event. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any employment agreement or the HCP, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan (or successor plan), if a Change in Control Event with respect to the Corporation occurs at any time during the Vesting Period, the Performance Period for all outstanding Awards will be shortened, if such Performance Period has not already ended, so that the Performance Period will be deemed to have ended on the last day prior to such Change in Control Event and the Committee Determination pursuant to Section 3 shall be made within twenty (20) days following the Change in Control Event. A Participant shall become vested in a number of Performance Units, if any, determined in accordance with Section 3 based on such shortened Performance Period. On or as soon as administratively practical following the Change in Control Event (and in all events no later than thirty (30) days following such Change in Control Event), the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its
discretion) equal to the number of Performance Units that vest in accordance with this Section 9(b).
10. Tax Withholding . Upon vesting of any Performance Units or any distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Performance Units, the Participant or other person entitled to receive such distribution may irrevocably elect, in such manner and at such time or times prior to any applicable tax date as may be permitted or required under Section 8.5 of the Plan and rules established by the Administrator, to have the Corporation reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates; provided, however, that in the event that the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Performance Units, the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.
11. Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the Participants last address reflected on the Corporations payroll records. Any notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is no longer an Eligible Person, shall be deemed to have been duly given five (5) business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.
12. Plan . The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.
13. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Any such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. Any such amendment that materially
and adversely affects the Participants rights under this Agreement requires the consent of the Participant in order to be effective with respect to the Award. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Participant hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof. The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.
14. Limitation on Participants Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Performance Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Performance Units, as and when payable hereunder. The Award has been granted to the Participant in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the Participant.
15. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
16. Section Headings . The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.
17. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.
18. Construction . It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.
19. Clawback Policy . The Performance Units are subject to the terms of the Corporations recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of the Performance Units or any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the Performance Units (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the Performance Units).

meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of such separation from service, the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment of the Stock Units until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the Participants separation from service with the Corporation for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Participants death, if and to the extent such delay in payment is required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Corporations obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Stock Units is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Stock Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances that the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Stock Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to Section 8.
8. Effect of Termination of Employment or Services . If the Participant ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary (the date of such termination of employment or service is referred to as the Participants Severance Date ), the Participants Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon the Severance Date regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participants employment or services; provided, however, that if the Participants employment is terminated as a result of the Participants death, Total Disability (as defined below) or Retirement (as defined below), the Participants Stock Units, to the extent such units are not then vested, shall become fully vested as of the Severance Date and shall be paid in accordance with Section 7. If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable Severance Date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participants beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be.
For purposes of the Award, Total Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). For purposes of the Award, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Participants employment or services, the Participant (1) has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board, or (2) has attained age 60 and completed at least fifteen (15) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall be entitled to any accelerated vesting with respect to the Stock Units in connection with the Participants severance provided for in the circumstances in, and subject to, the express terms of any written employment agreement entered into between the Participant and Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and that is in effect on the Severance Date.
9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events; Change in Control Event .
(a) Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporations stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Stock Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award. No such adjustment shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are paid pursuant to Section 5(b).
(b) Change in Control Event. Upon the occurrence of an event contemplated by Section 7.2 or 7.3 of the Plan and notwithstanding any provision of Section 7.2 and 7.3 of the Plan or any employment agreement to the contrary, the Award (to the extent outstanding at the time of such event) shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms following such event (subject to adjustment in connection with such event pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan); provided, however, that the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the vesting of the Stock Units will accelerate in connection with such event and the extent of any such accelerated vesting; provided, further, that any Stock Units that are so accelerated will be paid on or as soon as administratively practical after (and in all events within sixty (60) days after) the first to occur of the original vesting date of such accelerated Stock Units set forth in Section 3 above or the Participants separation from service (and subject to the six-month delayed payment provision of Section 7 in the event payment is triggered by the Participants separation from service). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may provide for payment of the Stock Units in connection with such event, to the extent such payment does not result in noncompliance with Section 409A of the Code, including providing for payment, in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(A), (B) or (C) promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (or any similar successor provision), which regulation generally provides that a deferred compensation arrangement may be terminated in limited circumstances following a dissolution or change in control of the Company, provided that any otherwise outstanding and unvested units shall become vested upon (or, to the extent necessary to effect the acceleration, immediately prior to) such a termination.
10. Tax Withholding . Upon vesting of any Stock Units or any distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, the Participant or other person entitled to receive such distribution may irrevocably elect, in such manner and at such time or times prior to any applicable tax date as may be permitted or required under Section 8.5 of the Plan and rules established by the Administrator, to have the Corporation reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates; provided, however, that in the event that the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Stock Units, the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment
by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.
11. Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the Participants last address reflected on the Corporations payroll records. Any notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is no longer an Eligible Person, shall be deemed to have been duly given five (5) business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.
12. Plan . The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.
13. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Any such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. Any such amendment that materially and adversely affects the Participants rights under this Agreement requires the consent of the Participant in order to be effective with respect to the Award. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Participant hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof. The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.
14. Limitation on Participants Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common
Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Stock Units, as and when payable hereunder. The Award has been granted to the Participant in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the Participant.
15. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
16. Section Headings . The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.
17. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.
18. Construction . It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.
19. Clawback Policy . The Stock Units are subject to the terms of the Corporations recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of the Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the Stock Units (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the Stock Units).
THE PARTICIPANTS ACCEPTANCE OF THE AWARD THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC STOCK PLAN AWARD RECORDKEEPING SYSTEM MAINTAINED BY THE CORPORATION OR ITS DESIGNEE CONSTITUTES THE PARTICIPANTS AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF, AND THAT THE AWARD IS GRANTED UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT.

HCP, INC.
2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-NEO OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS NON-NEO OPTION AGREEMENT (this Agreement ) is dated as of [ ], 20 (the Award Date ) by and between HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Corporation ), and [ ] (the Grantee ).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS , pursuant to the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the Plan ), the Corporation hereby grants to the Grantee, effective as of the date hereof, a nonqualified stock option, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Grantee, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2. Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Grantee a nonqualified stock option (the Option ) to purchase [ ] shares of the Corporations Common Stock at a price of $[ ] per share (the Exercise Price ). The number of shares and Exercise Price per share of the Option are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan. The Option is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and is further subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and any rules adopted by the Administrator, as such rules are in effect from time to time.
3. Vesting; Limits on Exercise; Incentive Stock Option Status .
(a) Vesting. The Option shall vest and become exercisable as to one third (1/3 rd ) of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Award Date. The Option may be exercised only to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable.
(b) Limits on Exercise. The following limits shall apply with respect to the Option:
(i) Cumulative Exercisability . To the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable, the Grantee has the right to exercise the Option (to the extent not previously exercised), and such right shall continue, until the expiration or earlier termination of the Option.
(ii) No Fractional Shares . Fractional share interests shall be disregarded, but may be cumulated.
(c) Nonqualified Stock Option. The Option is a nonqualified stock option and is not, and shall not be, an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.
4. Continuance of Employment/Service Required; No Employment/ Service Commitment .
The vesting schedule applicable to the Option requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Option and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 6 below or under the Plan.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued employment or service commitment by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, affects the Grantees status, if he or she is an employee, as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Grantee any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or service, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Grantees other compensation.
5. Method of Exercise of Option .
The Option shall be exercisable by the delivery to the Secretary of the Corporation (or such other person as the Administrator may require pursuant to such administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may implement from time to time) of:
(a) a written notice stating the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Option or by the completion of such other administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may require from time to time,
(b) payment in full for the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased in cash, check or by electronic funds transfer to the Corporation;
(c) any written statements or agreements required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan; and
(d) satisfaction of the tax withholding provisions of Section 8.5 of the Plan.
The Administrator also may, but is not required to, authorize a non-cash payment alternative by one or more of the following methods: (a) notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator, or (b) subject to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, a cashless exercise with a third party who provides simultaneous financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates) the exercise of the Option. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator and in accordance with such procedures as the Administrator may impose, the Grantee may elect in connection with an exercise of the Option (on his/her exercise notice to the Corporation (or its delegate)) to satisfy the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased and/or the minimum amount of any tax withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries arising in connection with the exercise by a reduction in the number shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable by the Corporation to the Grantee in connection with such exercise, in which case the number of shares withheld (or immediately reacquired in connection with such exercise, as the case may be) by the Corporation shall be the number of whole shares that have a fair market value as of the date of such exercise (with the fair market value of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan) necessary to satisfy such Exercise Price and/or withholding obligation, as applicable.
6. Early Termination of Option .
(a) Expiration Date. Subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan and subject to earlier termination as provided below in this Section 6, the Option will terminate on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Award Date (the Expiration Date ).

Subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or pursuant to Section 6(b) above, if the Grantee ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, the following rules shall apply (the last day that the Grantee is employed by or provides services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary is referred to as the Grantees Severance Date ):
(i) other than as expressly provided below in this Section 6(c), (a) the Grantee will have until the date that is 8 months after his or her Severance Date to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 8-month period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 8-month period; provided, however,
that in the event of the Grantees death or Total Disability (as defined below) at any time during the 8-month period, the Grantee (or his or her beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) will have until the date that is 12 months after the date of the Grantees death or Total Disability to exercise the Option, and the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 12-month period and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 12-month period;

(v) if the termination of the Grantees employment or services is the result of the Grantees Retirement (as defined below), (a) the Option will immediately become fully vested as of the Severance Date, (b) the Grantee will have until the date that is 3 years after the Grantees Severance Date to exercise the Option, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 3-year period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 3-year period; provided, however, that in the event of the Grantees death or Total Disability at any time during the 3-year period, the Grantee (or his or her beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) will have until the date that is the later of (i) 12 months after the date of the Grantees death or Total Disability or (ii) 3 years after the Grantees Severance Date to exercise the Option, and the Option, to the extent exercisable for the period ending on
such date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on such date.
For purposes of the Option, Total Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator). For purposes of the Option, Retirement means, that, as of the date of termination of the Grantees employment or services, the Grantee (1) has attained age 65 and completed at least five (5) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board, or (2) has attained age 60 and completed at least fifteen (15) full years of service as an employee of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and/or a member of the Board.
For purposes of the Option, Cause means, except as otherwise provided in any written employment agreement entered into between the Grantee and Corporation, that the Grantee:
(1) has been negligent in the discharge of his or her duties to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, has refused to perform stated or assigned duties or is incompetent in or (other than by reason of a disability or analogous condition) incapable of performing those duties;
(2) has been dishonest or committed or engaged in an act of theft, embezzlement or fraud, a breach of confidentiality, an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential information; has breached a fiduciary duty, or willfully and materially violated any other duty, law, rule, regulation or policy of the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses);
(3) has materially breached any of the provisions of any agreement with the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee shall be entitled to any accelerated vesting with respect to the Option, and any applicable periods in which to exercise the Option following the Severance Date, in connection with the Grantees severance provided for in the circumstances in, and subject to, the express terms of any written employment agreement entered into between the Grantee and Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and that is in effect on the Severance Date.
In all events the Option (and any post-termination exercise period provided above in this Section 6(c) or in any written employment agreement as contemplated by the preceding paragraph) is subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or as contemplated by Section 6(b). The Administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the Grantee continues to render employment or services for purposes of this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.11
HCP, INC.
2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK-FOR-FEES PROGRAM
1. Establishment . The Corporation hereby establishes this HCP , Inc. Non-Employee Directors Stock-for-Fees Program, as set forth herein (this Program ). This Program is effective as of May 1, 2014 (the Effective Date ). This Program is an Appendix to, and any shares of Common Stock issued under this Program on and after the Effective Date shall be charged against the applicable share limits of, the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan (the Plan ). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of the Plan shall govern all shares issued pursuant to this Program. Capitalized terms are defined in the Plan if not defined herein.
2. Purpose . The purpose of this Program is to promote the success of the Corporation and the interests of its stockholders by providing members of the Board who are not officers or employees of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries ( Non-Employee Directors ) an opportunity to elect to receive their Director Fees (as such term is defined below) in the form of shares of the Corporations Common Stock and more closely aligning the interests of Non-Employee Directors and stockholders.
3. Election to Receive Stock in Lieu of Cash Payment of Fees .
(a) A Non-Employee Director may elect to exchange the right to receive payment of all or a portion of his or her unpaid Director Fees for the right to receive payment of such unpaid fees in the form of shares of the Corporations Common Stock. Such election shall be made by completing the election form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (or such other form as the Board may prescribe from time to time) (an Election Form ). Subject to Section 4, such election shall apply to all Director Fees that would otherwise have been paid (but for such election) in the Corporations fiscal quarter that commences after the date the Election Form is filed with and received by the Corporation and continuing for each fiscal quarter through and until the fiscal quarter that commences after such time as the Non-Employee Director files a new Election Form that is received by the Corporation modifying or terminating such prior election. Unless otherwise approved by the Board, an election by a Non-Employee Director pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be made only in an open trading window pursuant to the Corporations general policies for transactions in the Corporations Common Stock applicable to Non-Employee Directors, as those policies are in effect from time to time. Unless otherwise approved by the Board, a Non-Employee Director should not make more than one election pursuant to this Section 3(a) in any six-month period of time. (Any Director Fees that the Non-Employee Director elects to receive in the form of shares of the Corporations Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3(a) are referred to herein as Exchanged Fees ).
(b) Upon any Exchange Date (as such term is defined below) that occurs after a Non-Employee Director files an Election Form pursuant to Section 3(a) that is received by the Corporation, the Non-Employee Director shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of the Corporations Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the amount of the Exchanged Fees that would otherwise have been paid to the Non-Employee Director (after giving effect to any deferral election pursuant to any deferred compensation program of the Corporation) but for such election during the Corporations fiscal quarter last preceding such Exchange Date (and, in the event an Exchange Date did not occur in such preceding fiscal quarter, the amount of such Exchanged Fees that would otherwise have been paid to the Non-Employee Director for all fiscal quarters preceding such fiscal quarter through and including the last preceding fiscal quarter in which an Exchange Date actually occurred), by (ii) the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of a share of the Common Stock as of such Exchange Date, and rounding down to the nearest whole share. Any fractional amount less than the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock as of such Exchange Date shall be paid in cash. Any shares of Common Stock acquired by a Non-Employee Director pursuant to this Program shall be fully vested at all times. As soon as administratively practicable following the Exchange Date, the Corporation shall deliver such shares (and any cash payable with respect to a fractional interest) to the Non-Employee Director. The Corporation may deliver such shares either by delivering one or more certificates, registered in the name of the Non-Employee Director, for such shares or by entering such shares in the name of the Non-Employee Director in book-entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion.
(c) For purposes of this Program, the following definitions shall apply:
· Director Fees shall mean the annual retainer and meeting fees, to the extent otherwise payable in cash, payable to a Non-Employee Director for services as a member of the Board.
· Exchange Date shall mean any date on which the Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend to holders of its Common Stock; provided, however, that in the event the Corporation does not pay any such ordinary cash dividend during January or February of a given year, an Exchange Date shall automatically occur on the last trading day of February of such year.
· Fair Market Value with respect to an Exchange Date shall mean the average of the closing prices of a share of Common Stock as reported on the composite tape for securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange for the period of ten (10) trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Exchange Date.
4. Plan Provisions . The issuance of shares of Common Stock under this Program and any shares so issued shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the Plan (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7 and Section 8.1 of the Plan).
5. Change in Control . In the event of a Change in Control Event, an Exchange Date shall be deemed to occur on the day preceding such Change in Control Event and any shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of such Exchange Date shall be delivered prior to consummation of such Change in Control Event.
6. Termination of Service . A termination of a Non-Employee Directors service with the Corporation shall have no effect on the directors rights as to Common Stock issued or issuable under this Program as to his or her Exchanged Fees for the period in which he or she served as a Non-Employee Director (including any Common Stock issuable in accordance with the terms of this Program with respect to the Exchange Date that coincides with or next follows the date on which he or she ceases to be a Non-Employee Director).
7. Share Limits . Shares of Common Stock issued with respect to this Program shall be charged against the Share Limit set forth in Section 4.2 of the Plan. The Board has determined that the shares issued with respect to this Program are shares issued in respect of compensation earned but deferred for purposes of the definition of Full-Value Award as set forth in the Plan and, accordingly, that the shares issued with respect to this Program shall be counted against the Share Limit under Section 4.2 of the Plan on a 1-for-1 basis (as opposed to 2.0 shares for every one share actually issued). If the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Program would otherwise exceed the Share Limit, such shares shall be issued on a pro-rata basis to Non-Employee Directors entitled to receive such shares (and any shares otherwise deliverable but for such share limit shall be paid in cash equal to the amount of the Exchanged Fees converted into such shares).

The Board may at any time amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Program without stockholder approval; provided that no such amendment, modification or suspension shall materially and adversely affect the rights of participants in this Program, without their consent, as to Exchanged Fees for the period ending with the date of such amendment, modification or suspension that have not theretofore been satisfied by the delivery of Common Stock pursuant to this Program. In the event that the Board terminates this Program, the Board shall either declare that an Exchange Date occurs immediately prior to such termination (and promptly deliver any Common Stock due with respect to such Exchange Date) or return (in cash) the amount of Exchanged Fees for the period beginning on the last preceding Exchange Date. This Program does not limit the Boards authority to make other, discretionary award grants to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrators power and authority to construe and interpret the Plan and awards thereunder pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Plan shall extend to this Program and any shares issued hereunder. As provided in Section 3.2 of the Plan, any action taken by, or inaction of, the Administrator relating or pursuant to this Program and within its authority or under applicable law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. The Board shall be the Plan Administrator as to this Program; provided that if at the relevant time the Board has delegated discretionary authority as to establishing director compensation to a committee of the Board, that particular committee shall be the Plan Administrator.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK-FOR-FEES PROGRAM
ELECTION FORM
Director: |
|
|
( Print Full Name ) |
I, the Director named above, hereby make the election set forth below pursuant to the HCP, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Stock-for-Fees Program (the Program) adopted under the HCP, Inc. 2014 Performance Incentive Plan (the Plan). I understand that my election will apply to all of my Director Fees (as such term is defined in the Program) that would otherwise be paid commencing with the fiscal quarter after this election is received by HCP, Inc. (the Company) until I file a new Program election with the Company that become effective pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
Election
Check one of the following options to indicate whether you wish to receive your Director Fees in the form of cash payments or shares of the Companys common stock. Please note that your Director Fees is the amount of annual retainer and meeting fees, to the extent otherwise payable in cash, payable for your services as a member of the Companys board of directors.
If you choose not to receive any portion of your Director Fees in the form of stock pursuant to the Program, you do not need to return this form - your Director Fees will be paid to you all in cash. If you previously made a Program election to receive stock and you want to cancel or change that election as to Director Fees payable to you commencing with the fiscal quarter after your new election is received by the Company, make your new election below and return this form to the Company. Elections may be made only during open trading windows pursuant to the Companys trading policies applicable to directors.
I hereby make the following election with respect to my Director Fees:
¨ All cash . I elect to receive my Director Fees in the form of cash payments.
¨ All stock, or part stock and part cash . I elect to receive % of my Director Fees (maximum 100%) in the form of shares of the Companys common stock. I understand that, in lieu of cash payment of this amount, I will receive a number of shares of common stock determined in accordance with the Program. In general, shares will generally be delivered promptly following each date that the Company pays a cash dividend.
Your Director Fees will be determined after giving effect to any deferral election that you may have made (that is, if you elect to defer payment of your directors fees, the portion of your fees that you may elect to convert into Common Stock under the Program will first be reduced by the amount of the fees that you have elected to defer). The Program is not a deferred compensation plan - you will realize ordinary income at the time shares are delivered to you with respect to the Program. The ordinary income will be based on the market value of the shares at the time they are delivered to you, which may not be precisely the same as the value used to convert fees into shares pursuant to the Program (since the conversion is based on a 10-trading day average of closing prices).
Note that the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock with respect to the Plan has been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, each person who acquires shares of Common Stock with respect to the Program will nevertheless be subject to all applicable securities laws governing the subsequent sale or transfer of the shares (including, without limitation, any restrictions imposed on directors as affiliates of the Company, Section 16 considerations, insider trading considerations, Rule 144 re-sale considerations) and all applicable Company insider trading policies.
I have read and understand this form. I have received, read and understand the Plan document and the Program document. I agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Program. If there is any inconsistency between this form and either the Plan document or the Program document, the Plan document or the Program document, as applicable, controls.

Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member.

(1) First, to the holders of LLC Units in accordance with their Preferred Return Shortfalls until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units is zero, and then to the Managing Member to the extent of its Managing Member Shortfall;

(3) Third, the remaining balance of the Disposition Proceeds, if any, to the Managing Member.
B. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.7 , upon the incurrence of Refinancing Debt, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to (i) reinvest (including by making loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) the Refinancing Debt Proceeds to the extent the Managing Member elects to do so and in the amount determined by the Managing Member to be appropriate (and to hold the Refinancing Debt Proceeds in an interest bearing account pending such reinvestment), in its sole discretion, and (ii) if the Managing Member elects, in its sole discretion, distribute all or any portion of the Refinancing Debt Proceeds, as follows:

(1) The Non-Managing Member Units shall be reduced by a number of LLC Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) (the Non-Managing Member Reduction Units ) determined by dividing (i) the excess of (a) the aggregate amount of distributions made on the Reduction Date to Non-Managing Members and Assignees pursuant to Sections 5.6.A(2) and 5.6.B(2) , over (b) the NMM Sharing Amount by (ii) the product obtained by multiplying (a) Value on the Reduction Date by (b) the Adjustment Factor. The Non-Managing Member Reduction Units shall be allocated (as closely as practicable in whole units) among the holders of Non-Managing Member Units in accordance with their respective holdings of Non-Managing Member Units.
(2) The Managing Member Units shall be reduced by a number of Managing Member Units (by a number of LLC Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) (the Managing Member Reduction Units ) equal to the product of (i) the Reduction Units with respect to the Non-Managing Members divided by the aggregate Percentage Interest of the Non-Managing Members immediately prior to the Reduction Date, times (ii) the Percentage Interest of the Managing Member immediately prior to such Reduction Date, provided the Managing Member Units shall not be reduced to less than 1 LLC Unit.
To reflect the foregoing reduction, each Member shall return to the Managing Member the certificate evidencing the Reduction Units allocated to him or it or the Managing Member Units so reduced which will be canceled and a new certificate evidencing the reduced number of Managing Member Units or Non-Managing Member Units shall be immediately issued to such Member by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company. In the event the number of outstanding Non-Managing Member Units held by a Non-Managing Member or Assignee is reduced (pursuant to this Section 5.6.C or otherwise) to zero, such Non-Managing Member or Assignee shall cease to have an interest in the Company (other than the right to receive final distributions and allocations resulting from the liquidation of their interest).

As used herein, Bottom Guarantee means an agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E or in such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the lender and such Initial Non-Managing Member and providing substantively the same benefits to such Initial Non-Managing Member as the form attached hereto as Exhibit E . By their execution and delivery hereof, each Initial Non-Managing Member acknowledges that it has been provided the opportunity to execute a Bottom Guarantee for a Managing Member Loan as of the Effective Date, and if such Initial Non-Member has exercised such opportunity, it has executed and delivered such Bottom Guarantee to Managing Member as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Initial Managing Member that fails to execute and deliver a Bottom Guarantee with respect to a Managing Member Loan as of the Effective Date, shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its opportunity to execute a Bottom Guarantee with respect thereto and the Managing Member shall have no further obligation to provide such opportunity to execute and deliver a Bottom Guarantee or to maintain a Managing Member Loan or any Replacement Indebtedness for the benefit of such Initial Non-Managing Member.
In the event that the prior Consent of the Non-Managing Members is not required for the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, to take or engage or fail to take, as the case may be, in any of the actions described in the foregoing subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3) or fails to provide the rights in the foregoing subparagraph (4), the Managing Member may take such action only after providing the Non-Managing Members with not less than fifteen (15) days notice of its intention to do so.
F. The Company shall pay to the Non-Managing Members the Make-Whole Payment as provided in Section 7.3.G. below if the Company takes any action to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company during the Tax Protection Period. In addition, a Non-Managing Member shall be entitled to the Make-Whole Payment in the event of the exercise of such Non-Managing Members right to a Redemption under Section 8.6.A after receipt by such Non-Managing Member of a written notice of a Liquidating Event provided by the Company to the same extent such Non-Managing Member would have been entitled to such Make-Whole Payment had such Non-Managing Member not have been redeemed pursuant to such Redemption. In the event the Managing Member intends to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company following the Tax Protection Period, it shall give not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior written notice of such intent to the Non-Managing Members prior to taking any action in furtherance of such intent.
G. Any event in Sections 7.3.E and 7.3.F that triggers the obligation of the Company to make a Make-Whole Payment (as defined below) is called a Triggering Event . The Company shall pay to each Non-Managing Member an amount (the Make-Whole Payment ) equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes, if any, incurred by such Non-Managing Member as a result of a Triggering Event. Any such federal, state and local income taxes shall be deemed to be the amount of Built-in Gain recognized by the Non-Managing Members multiplied by the then highest rate or rates applicable to such Built-in Gain for the year in which such Built-in Gain is recognized grossed up to include any federal, state and local income taxes incurred by the Non-Managing Member by reason of the receipt of the payment from the Company. No effect shall be given in determining the amount of the Make-Whole Payment, to a Non-Managing Members taxable income, tax deductions, tax credits, tax carry forwards nor to any other of their tax benefits or tax attributes (except that state and local taxes paid on account of the Make-Whole Payment shall be deducted in determining federal income taxes for purposes of determining the Make-Whole Payment). The Make-Whole Payment shall be made within a reasonable period of time after the Triggering Event, but in no event later than five business days prior to the date by which such Non-Managing Member would be required to make the applicable tax payment. In addition to any other rights available under law or equity, in the event that the Company fails to pay any amounts owed pursuant to this Section 7.3 when due, the Non-Managing Member to whom such payment is owed shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to the Company. Any amounts payable to a Non-Managing Member shall be increased by an amount equal to the greater of (x) interest accrued on such amount at the Prime Rate from the date such amount is due until such amount is paid in full and (y) actual interest and penalties accrued by the relevant taxing authorities with respect to such amounts plus any penalties actually imposed thereon by the relevant taxing authorities. In the event that any Member becomes entitled to a Make-Whole Payment and the Company, for any reason, fails to satisfy such obligation, then the Managing Member shall make the Make-Whole Payment promptly following such failure by the Company to make such Make-Whole Payment. The Make-Whole Payment shall be in addition to, and shall not in any manner reduce, the amounts distributable or payable to the Non-Managing Members pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement (calculated as if there had been no Make-Whole Payment). In the event that any Non-Managing Member becomes entitled to a Make-Whole Payment, then, on or before the date on which such Make-Whole Payment is due and payable to the Non-Managing Member, the Managing Member shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company of cash in an amount equal to said Make-Whole Payment.
H. The parties agree that the sole and exclusive rights and remedies to which the Non-Managing Members may be entitled at law or in equity in connection with any Triggering Event shall be for payment of the Make-Whole Payment pursuant to Section 7.3.G , and no Non-Managing Member shall be entitled to enjoin or otherwise object to any transactions that would result in a taxable event or pursue any other claim with respect to a Triggering Event. If any Non-Managing Member notifies the Company of a claim that the Company owes a Make-Whole Payment, the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, and the Non-Managing Member shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding any such Triggering Event. If any such disagreement cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of the notice in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company,
and the Non-Managing Member shall jointly retain one of Deloitte, LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or KPMG LLP (an Accounting Firm ) to act as an arbitrator to resolve as expeditiously as possible all points of any such disagreement (including, without limitation, whether a Triggering Event has occurred and, if so, the amount of the applicable Make-Whole Payment that the Non-Managing Member is entitled to as a result thereof, determined as set forth in Section 7.3.G ). If the parties cannot agree on an Accounting Firm, each of the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, and the Non-Managing Member shall retain an Accounting Firm, and the Accounting Firms selected shall jointly retain a third Accounting Firm. If the two Accounting Firms cannot agree upon a third Accounting Firm within thirty (30) calendar days, such matter shall be referred to a court of competent jurisdiction to select the third Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firms shall be instructed to resolve as expeditiously as possible all points of any such disagreement (including, without limitation, whether a Triggering Event has occurred and, if so, the amount of the applicable Make-Whole Payment that the Non-Managing Member is entitled to as a result thereof, determined as set forth in Section 7.3.G ). All determinations made by the Accounting Firm or the Accounting Firms, as the case may be, with respect to the resolution of whether a Triggering Event has occurred shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company and the Non-Managing Member. The fees and expenses of any Accounting Firms incurred in connection with any such determination shall be allocated as determined by such Accounting Firm acting as arbitrator.
7.4 Compensation of the Managing Member
A. The Managing Member shall not be compensated for its services as the manager of the Company. Distributions, payments and allocations to which the Managing Member may be entitled in its capacity as the Managing Member shall not constitute compensation for services rendered by the Managing Member as provided in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI hereof).
B. Subject to Section 7.4.C hereof, the Company shall be liable, and shall reimburse the Managing Member on a monthly basis (or such other basis as the Managing Member may determine in its sole and absolute discretion), for all sums expended in connection with the Companys business. Any such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement of the Managing Member as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof .
C. To the extent practicable, Company expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company. Reimbursements to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates by the Company shall be allowed, however, for the actual cost to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates of operating and other expenses of the Company, including, without limitation, the actual cost of goods and materials and actual cost of administrative services related to (i) Company operations, (ii) company accounting, (iii) communications with Members, (iv) legal services, (v) tax services, (vi) computer services, (vii) risk management, (viii) mileage and travel expenses and (ix) such other related operational and administrative expenses as are necessary for the prudent organization and operation of the Company. Actual cost of goods and materials means the actual cost to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates of goods and materials used for or by the Company obtained from entities not
affiliated with the Managing Member, and actual cost of administrative services means the pro rata cost of personnel (as if such persons were employees to the Company) providing administrative services to the Company. The cost for such services to be reimbursed to the Managing Member or any Affiliate thereof shall be the lesser of the Managing Members or Affiliates actual cost, or the amount the Company would be required to pay to independent parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location.
D. In addition to any reimbursements to which Managing Member is entitled pursuant to Sections 8.6 and 11.3 hereof and Section 3.4 or elsewhere in each Registration Rights Agreement, the Managing Member shall also be reimbursed for all expenses it incurs relating to any issuance of additional Membership Interests, Debt of the Company, or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Company pursuant to Article VIII hereof (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, damages and other payments resulting from or arising in connection with litigation related to any of the foregoing), all of such expenses are considered by the Members to constitute expenses of, and for the benefit of, the Company.
To the extent that reimbursements to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.4 would constitute gross income to the Managing Member for purposes of Code Section 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3), then such amounts shall be treated as guaranteed payments within the meaning of Code Section 707(c).
7.5 Other Business of Managing Member
The Managing Member shall devote to the Company such time as may be necessary for the performance of its duties as Managing Member, but the Managing Member is not required, and is not expected, to devote its full time to the performance of such duties. The Managing Member may engage independently or with others in other business ventures of every nature and description, including, without limitation, the ownership of other properties and the making or management of other investments. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Managing Member or any Affiliate of the Managing Member from dealing, or otherwise engaging in business with, Persons transacting business with the Company, or from providing services related to the purchase, sale, financing, management, development or operation of real or personal property and receiving compensation therefor, not involving any rebate or reciprocal arrangement that would have the effect of circumventing any restriction set forth herein upon dealings with the Managing Member or any Affiliate of the Managing Member. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to such other ventures or activities or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.
7.6 Contracts with Affiliates
A. Subject to Section 7.6.B below, the Company may lend or contribute to Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Company, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of
the Managing Member. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person.
B. The Managing Member or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall be permitted to sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, or borrow funds from, or lend funds to, the Company or engage in any other transaction with the Company, but only upon terms determined by the Managing Member in good faith to be fair and reasonable and comparable to terms that could be obtained from an unaffiliated party in an arms length transaction, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.
7.7 Indemnification
A. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, 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 Company ( Actions ) as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any Action by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A . The termination of any Action by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment against an Indemnitee, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such Action. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering the Managing Member and any Indemnitees, and neither the Managing Member nor any Non-Managing Member shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Company or otherwise provide funds to enable the Company to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7 .
B. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any Action shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final
disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Company of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitees good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized in Section 7.7.A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.
D. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Companys activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.
E. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.
F. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
G. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Companys liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
H. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income to the Managing Member (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Code Section 707(c), shall be treated consistently therewith by the Company and all Members, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members Capital Accounts.
7.8 Liability of the Managing Member
A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the Managing Member nor any of its directors or officers shall be liable or
accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company, any Members or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the Managing Member or such director or officer acted in good faith.
B. The Non-Managing Members expressly acknowledge that the Managing Member is acting for the benefit of the Company, the Members and the Managing Members shareholders collectively, that the Managing Member is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Members or the Managing Members shareholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Members, Assignees or the Managing Members shareholders) in deciding whether to cause the Company to take (or decline to take) any actions and that the Managing Member shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Non-Managing Members in connection with such decisions, provided that the Managing Member has acted in good faith and has not breached its express covenants set forth in this Agreement.
C. Subject to its obligations and duties as Managing Member set forth in Section 7.1.A hereof, the Managing Member may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents. The Managing Member shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.
D. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Managing Members, and its officers and directors, liability to the Company and the Non-Managing Members under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
7.9 Other Matters Concerning the Managing Member
A. The Managing Member may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
B. The Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the Managing Member reasonably believes to be within such Persons professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.
C. The Managing Member shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the Managing Member in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the Managing Member hereunder.
D. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or any decision of the Managing Member to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the Managing Member to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) for the Managing Member otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements or (iii) to allow the Managing Member to avoid incurring any liability for taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Non-Managing Members. If in the opinion of the Managing Member any such action or omission shall adversely affect the rights of a Non-Managing Member hereunder, the Managing Member shall give the Non-Managing Member Representative prior written notice of such intended action or omission.
7.10 Title to Company Assets
Title to Company assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member, individually or collectively with other Members or Persons, shall have any ownership interest in such Company assets or any portion thereof. All Company assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Company assets is held.
7.11 Reliance by Third Parties
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Company shall be entitled to assume that the Managing Member has full power and authority, without the consent or approval of any other Member or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Company and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Company, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Company, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the Managing Member as if it were the Companys sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Non-Managing Member hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Managing Member in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Managing Member or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of the Managing Member or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company by the Managing Member or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full
force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Company and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Company.

A. Commencing on the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Date, each Non-Managing Member shall have the right (the Redemption Right ) (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Non-Managing Member Units held by such Non-Managing Member (all such Non-Managing Member Units being hereafter called Tendered Unit ) for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date (the Redemption ); provided, however , that at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, the Managing Member may elect to assume the Companys obligation with respect to the Redemption (though such assumption shall not relieve the Company from such obligation in the event the Managing Member fails to fulfill such obligation) and, at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, to satisfy the Redemption by (i) paying either the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date or (ii) delivering a number of REIT Shares equal to the REIT Shares Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date.
B. Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Company by a Non-Managing Member (or any Substituted Member of a Non-Managing Member or an Assignee of either) exercising the Redemption Right (the Tendering Party ). On the Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Party shall sell the Tendered Units to the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 8.6 . Any Tendered Units acquired by the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be held by the Managing Member as Non-Managing Member Units with all the rights and preferences relating thereto as provided in this Agreement.

The Managing Member shall have no obligation to acquire Excess LLC Units, whether for the REIT Shares Amount or the Cash Amount;
(2) No Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights pursuant to Section 8.6.A and B hereof more than one (1) time during any Calendar Quarter. In determining whether such limit has been reached during any Calendar Quarter with respect to any Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member, it is understood and agreed that the exercise of the Redemption Rights by any Assignee of such Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member of a Non-Managing Member shall be counted for all purposes as the exercise of such Redemption Rights by the Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member assignor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights after the receipt of a notice of a Liquidating Event;
(3) No Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights pursuant to Sections 8.6.A and B as to fewer than 500 Non-Managing Member Units (unless they constitute all of the Non-Managing Member Units held by such Tendering Party);
(4) No Tendering Party may deliver a Notice of Redemption during the period from December 1 of any year through January 1 of the following year, nor shall any Specified Redemption Date occur during the period from December 21 of any year through January 22 of the following year; and

(2) Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Companys debts and liabilities to the Members, including, but not limited to, any loan made to the Company by a Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the Managing Member Loan) (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); and
(3) The balance, if any, to the Members and any Assignees in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.
The Managing Member shall not receive any compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XIII .
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.3.A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Companys assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (including to those Members as creditors) and/or distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3.A hereof, undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Members, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.
C. In the event that the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)( g ), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article XIII to the Members and Assignees that have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)( 2 ) to the extent of, and in proportion to, their positive Capital Account balances. If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. A pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this Article XIII may be withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Members in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.3.A hereof as soon as practicable.
13.4 Deemed Contribution and Distribution
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII , in the event that the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)( g ), but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Companys Property shall not be liquidated, the Companys liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Companys affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed its assets and liabilities to a new limited liability company in exchange for an interest in such new limited liability company and, immediately thereafter, the Company will be deemed to liquidate by distributing interests in the new limited liability company to the Members.
13.5 Rights of Members
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Member shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Company and (c) except as provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.
13.6 Notice of Dissolution
In the event that a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for an election or objection by one or more Members pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, result in a dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall, within 30 days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Members and, in the Managing Members sole and absolute discretion or as required by the Act, to all other parties with whom the Company regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member), and the Managing Member may, or, if required by the Act, shall, publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Company regularly conduct business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member).
13.7 Cancellation of Certificate
Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Companys cash and property as provided in Section 13.3 hereof, the Company shall be terminated and the Certificate and all qualifications of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company shall be taken.
13.8 Reasonable Time for Winding-Up
A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between the Members during the period of liquidation.
13.9 Liability of Liquidator
The Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs, damages, and causes of action of any nature whatsoever arising out of or incidental to the Liquidators taking of any action authorized under or within the scope of this Agreement; provided, however , that the Liquidator shall not be entitled to indemnification, and shall not be held harmless, where the claim, demand, liability, cost, damage or cause of action at issue arises out of (i) a matter entirely unrelated to the Liquidators action or conduct pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) the proven willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Liquidator.
ARTICLE XIV
PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS
OF MEMBERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS
14.1 Procedures for Actions and Consents of Members
The actions requiring Consent or approval of Non-Managing Members pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 7.3 hereof, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article 14 and shall require the Consent of the Non-Managing Members unless a different standard or percentage is expressly required by this Agreement for the action in question.
14.2 Amendments
Except for amendments to Exhibit A as provided in Sections 7.3.C , 11.4.C and 12.3 hereof, amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the Managing Member or by a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members. Following such proposal, the Managing Member shall submit any proposed amendment to the Members. The Managing Member shall seek the written Consent of the Members on the proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that the Managing Member may deem appropriate. The affirmative vote or Consent, as applicable, of a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members and the Managing Member is required for the approval of a proposed amendment.
14.3 Meetings of the Members
A. Meetings of the Members may be called by the Managing Member and shall be called upon the receipt by the Managing Member of a written request by a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members. The call shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members not less than seven (7) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such meeting. The meeting shall be held at the headquarters office of the Managing Member or at such other location as may be designated by the Managing Member. Members may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Whenever the vote or Consent of Members is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote or Consent may be given at a meeting of Members or may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.3.B hereof.
B. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a prior, written notice thereof is sent to each Member in accordance with Section 15.1 and Consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by Members holding a majority of the LLC Units (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement for the action in question). Such Consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of Members holding a majority of the LLC Units (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement). Such Consent shall be filed with the Managing Member. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a written Consent, the Managing Member may require a
response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the Managing Members recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided , however , that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior to such specified time.
C. Each Member may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the Member or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Companys receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Member executing such proxy.
D. Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by the Managing Member or such other Person as the Managing Member may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the Managing Member or such other Person deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion. Without limitation, meetings of Members may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the Managing Members shareholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of the Managing Members shareholders.
ARTICLE XV

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on all the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all such parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart.

If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby.
15.12 No Partition
No Member nor any successor-in-interest to a Member shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have any property of the Company partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute to any proceeding at law or in equity to have such property of the Company partitioned, and each Member, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns hereby waives any such right. It is the intention of the Members that the rights of the parties hereto and their successors-in-interest to Company property, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the rights of the Members and their successors-in-interest shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.
15.13 Non-Managing Member Representative
A. All actions taken by the Non-Managing Member Representative pursuant to those provisions of this Agreement which authorize the Non-Managing Member Representative to so act shall be binding upon all Non-Managing Members as if they had individually taken such action and each Non-Managing Member, by entering into or agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, authorize the Non-Managing Member Representative to take such actions on his, her or its behalf and agree that the actions so taken shall be binding upon him, her or it to the same extent as if he, she or it had taken the action directly.
B. The holders of a majority of the outstanding Non-Managing Members Units shall be entitled to replace the Non-Managing Member Representative by delivering to the Managing Member a written notice signed by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Non-Managing Members Units stating (i) that the notice is being provided to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 15.13.B , (ii) that the Members signing the notice own of record on the books of the Company a majority of the outstanding Non-Managing Members Units, (iii) that the Members signing the notice desire to replace the person then serving as the Non-Managing Member Representative with the person named in the notice, and (iv) specifying the date on which the appointment of the named individual to replace the then serving Non-Managing Member Representative shall be effective (which shall be a date not earlier than the fourteenth day after the date on which the notice shall have been delivered to the Managing Member). The appointment of the new Non-Managing Member Representative specified in the notice shall be effective on the date specified in the notice and upon effectiveness, the individual previously serving as the Non-Managing Member Representative shall cease to be entitled to act in that capacity under this Agreement.

Sale of property to which distribution pursuant to Sec. 5.6.A(2) relates:
Disposition Proceeds = $30MM
Initial value = $25MM
Property Appreciation = $5MM
Portion of Disposition Proceeds to be distributed = $10MM
3.
Other assumptions:
Value of REIT stock on Reduction Date = $30
There is no Preferred Return Shortfall or Managing Member Shortfall
Unit Portion (Net Cash Flow of property sold/Net Cash Flow of all contributed properties) = .20
There have been no previous distributions of Disposition Proceeds or Refinancing Debt Proceeds
Adjustment Factor = 1.0
Calculation of Reduction:
Sec. 5.6.C(1) NMMU Reduction = 82,733 Units ($2,482,000 ÷ 30), computed as
(i) excess of
(a) $2.5MM ($10MM distribution * 25% NMM LLC units), over
(b) NMM Sharing Amount of $18,000
(U) (.20 Unit Portion * 3.2MM LLC Units Outstanding) = 640,000 = Unit Amount
(V) 640,000 * ($30 Value - $25 Effective Price) = $3.2MM Unit Appreciation
(W) $5MM Property Appreciation - $3.2MM Unit Appreciation = $1.8MM = Aggregate Sharing Amount
(X) $1.8MM Aggregate Sharing Amount - $0 Prior Sharing Amounts = $1.8MM Sharing Amount
(Y) $1.8MM * 1% NMM Sharing Percentage = $18,000 NMM Sharing Amount
(Z) $2.5MM $18,000 = $2,482,000
Divided by
(ii) $30 Value on Reduction Date
Sec. 5.6.C(2) MMU Reduction = 248,199 Units, computed as
(i) 82,733 Reduction Units for NMMs divided by 25% Aggregate Percentage Interests of NMMs before Reduction, times
(ii) 75% Percentage Interest of MM before Reduction
Calculation of Profit Participation Amount for NMMs:
$431,667, computed as the sum of
1. $18,000 (Cumulative distributions pursuant to Sec. 5.6.A(2) that did not result in a Reduction), and
2. $413,667 ($2,482,000 [$2.5MM cumulative distributions pursuant to sec. 5.6.A(2) $18,000])
* (($30 weighted average Value on each Reduction Date - $25 Effective Price)/$30 weighted average Value on each Reduction Date)

WHEREAS, each Guarantor desires to guarantee collection of a portion of the amount owing under the Credit Document (the Obligations) not in excess of the amount set forth on such Guarantors counterpart signature page attached hereto (such amount, as applicable to each individual Guarantor, such Guarantors Maximum Guaranteed Amount and all such amounts in the aggregate, the Guaranteed Amount).
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Guarantors agree as follows:
1. Guarantee .
A. Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the collection by Guaranteed Party of, and hereby agree to pay to Guaranteed Party upon demand (following the exhaustion of the exercise of any and all remedies available to Guaranteed Party against Borrower, including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, realizing upon the assets of Borrower), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Guaranteed Amount over the Borrower Proceeds (as hereinafter defined); provided that the obligation of each Guarantor shall be limited severally, and not jointly, to such Guarantors Maximum Guaranteed Amount, as set forth on such Guarantors counterpart signature page attached hereto. Each Guarantors obligations as set forth in this Paragraph 1.A. are hereinafter referred to as the Guaranteed Obligations.
B. For the purposes of this Guarantee, the term Borrower Proceeds shall mean the aggregate of all amounts collected from Borrower or realized from the sale or other disposition of assets of Borrower (whether applied to the Guaranteed Obligations or other obligations).
2. Waivers: Other Agreements . Guaranteed Party is hereby authorized, without notice or demand upon any Guarantor, which notice or demand is expressly waived hereby, and without discharging or otherwise affecting the enforceability of the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (which shall remain absolute and unconditional notwithstanding any such action or omission to act), from time to time to:
(i) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with any provision of the Credit Document, or any part thereof, or any other instrument or agreement in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter executed by Borrower or any other person and delivered to Guaranteed Party;
(ii) accept partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations by Borrower;
(iii) receive, take and hold additional security or collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or for the payment of this Guarantee, or for the payment of any other guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, transfer, or otherwise alter or release any such additional security or collateral;
(iv) apply any and all such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Guaranteed Party may determine in its sole discretion;
(v) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations or accept, substitute, release, exchange or otherwise alter, affect or impair any mortgage or any other security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee therefor, in any manner;
(vi) add, release or substitute any one or more other guarantors, borrowers or endorsers of the Guaranteed Obligations and otherwise deal with Borrower or any other guarantor as Guaranteed Party may elect in its sole discretion; and
(vii) apply any and all payments or recoveries from Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, to such of the Guaranteed Obligations as Guaranteed Party in its sole discretion may determine, whether such Guaranteed Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others.

or not actions are brought against Borrower. Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Borrower, or any other person directly or contingently liable for the payment or performance of the obligations under the Credit Document arising from the existence or performance of this Guarantee (including, but not limited to, Guaranteed Party, or any other member of Borrower) (except and only to the extent that such Guarantor makes a payment to Guaranteed Party in excess of the amount required to be paid under Paragraph 1 and the limitations set forth therein).
4. Miscellaneous .
A. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 4.A, this Guarantee is irrevocable as to any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor until such Guarantor has disposed of all of its equity interests in Borrower (the Termination Date), provided that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall continue after the Termination Date to the extent of any claims that are attributable fully and solely to an event or action that occurred on or before the Termination Date. In the event that any Guarantor disposes of all or any portion of such Guarantors equity interest in Borrower, the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor shall be decreased by an amount equal to the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor allocable to the disposed of equity interest (a Reduction Date), provided that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall continue after the Reduction Date with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations undiminished by such reduction to the extent of any claims that are attributable fully and solely to an event or action that occurred on or before said Reduction Date. This Guarantee is binding on each Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and inures to the benefit of Guaranteed Party.
B. No delay on the part of Guaranteed Party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise or waiver by Guaranteed Party of any right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof, nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guarantee be binding upon Guaranteed Party, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed or delivered by Guaranteed Party or on Guaranteed Partys behalf by an authorized officer or agent of Guaranteed Party.

officers, or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing signed by an officer or agent of Guaranteed Party and directed to Borrower or such Guarantor, or any of them (as the case may be) specifying such waiver. No waiver by Guaranteed Party of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same default on a future occasion, and no action by Guaranteed Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair Guaranteed Partys rights or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee.

REGISTRATION
2.1 Registration Statement Covering Issuance of Common Stock .

In the event the Company is, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, unable to register the Share Issuance pursuant to the Existing Shelf Registration Statement before the 30th calendar day prior to the one year anniversary of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly file a Registration Statement (the New Registration Statement ) to register the Share Issuance, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the one year anniversary of this Agreement (extended to one hundred eighty (180) days if such New Registration Statement is reviewed by the Commission). In the event the Company is unable to cause the New Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission within ninety (90) days after the one year anniversary of this Agreement (or one hundred eighty (180) days if such New Registration Statement is reviewed by the Commission), then the rights of the Holders set forth in Sections 3.1 hereof shall apply to Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the availability of rights under Section 3.1 hereof, the Company may continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the New Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission and if it shall be declared effective by the Commission, the obligations of the Company under Section 3.1 hereof shall cease. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the registration of the Share Issuance under either the Existing Shelf Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement (each, an Issuance Registration Statement ) until the earlier of (i) the S-3 Expiration Date, or (ii) the first date on which no Redeemable LLC Units (other than those held by the Company) or Registrable Securities remain outstanding (the Full Conversion Date ).

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
3.1 Registration Rights . The following provisions shall apply with respect to Registrable Securities during the period, if any, beginning on the earlier of (a) the S-3 Expiration Date (or, if the S-3 Expiration Date shall occur before the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the first date on which the Redeemable LLC Units issued pursuant to the Contribution Agreement may be exchanged for shares of Common Stock, beginning on such thirtieth (30th) prior day), (b) if a New Registration Statement is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2.1, the Companys failure to file the New Registration Statement by the last day on which the New Registration Statement is required to be filed as provided in Section 2.1 or (c) if the New Registration Statement has been filed but has not been declared effective by the Commission within ninety (90) days after such original filing date (or one hundred eighty (180) days after such filing date if such New Registration Statement is reviewed by the Commission), the ninetieth (90th) day (or one hundred eightieth (180th) day, if such New Registration Statement is reviewed by the Commission) after the original filing date, and ending on the Full Conversion Date (the Supplemental Rights Period ); provided , however , that, except as permitted in Section 3.3 hereof, if the Company is unable to keep an Issuance Registration Statement effective until the Full Conversion Date, the Holders shall be entitled to exercise the rights provided under this Section 3.1. During the Supplemental Rights Period, the Holders shall have the following rights:
(a) Demand Rights . Holders may make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of resales of all or part of the Registrable Securities (a Demand Registration ); provided , however , that (i) the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) Demand Registrations for Holders in any twelve month period, and (ii) the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Holder(s) making such written demand either (x) shall be all the Registrable Securities owned by, or that may be issued upon exchange of Redeemable LLC Units to, such Holders, or (y) shall have an estimated market value at the time of such demand (based upon the then market price of a share of Common Stock) of at least $2,000,000 or (z) shall not be less than 50,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company shall file any registration statement required by this Section 3.1(a), which registration statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with applicable Commission rules providing for the sale by the Holder(s) of such Registrable Securities (a Demand Registration Statement ), with the Commission within thirty (30) days after receipt of the requisite Holder demand and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall give written notice of the proposed filing of the Demand Registration Statement to all Holders of Registrable Securities and Redeemable LLC Units 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 shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable 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 to make offers or sales under the Demand Registration Statement by reason of Section 3.3 hereof); provided that in no case shall the
Company be obligated to maintain the effectiveness of any Demand Registration Statement once all the Registrable Securities covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities. The Company may elect to include in any Demand Registration Statement additional shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company; provided , however , that the inclusion of such additional shares will not adversely affect the marketability of the offering and, subject, in the case of an underwritten secondary Demand Registration, to cutback by the managing underwriters. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration under this Section 3.1(a): (i) unless and until the Demand Registration Statement has been declared effective or (ii) if the Demand Registration Statement is suspended for more than ninety (90) days at any one time. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.1(a) to the contrary, the Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to register pursuant to any Demand Registration Statement, along with Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such Demand Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 3.1(a), any or all additional Registrable Securities that are outstanding or issuable upon exchange of Redeemable LLC Units (such additional Registrable Securities, the Additional Demand Securities ); provided , however , that if the Company elects to register any Additional Demand Securities in any Demand Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Demand Registration Statement continuously effective for the longer of (A) 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 to make offers or sales under the Demand Registration Statement by reason of Section 3.3 hereof) or (B) until all Registrable Securities covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities; provided , further , that in no case shall the Company be obligated to maintain the effectiveness of any such Demand Registration Statement once all the Registrable Securities covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities.
(b) Company Repurchase . Upon receipt by the Company of a registration demand pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Company may, but will not be obligated to, purchase for cash from any Holder so requesting registration all, but not less than all, of the Registrable Securities which are the subject of the request at a price per share equal to the average of the Closing Prices of a share of Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of receipt by the Company of the registration request. In the event the Company elects to purchase the Registrable Securities which are the subject of a registration request, the Company shall notify the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of the request by the Company, which notice shall indicate (i) that the Company will purchase for cash the Registrable Securities held by the Holder which are the subject of the request, (ii) the price per share, calculated in accordance with the preceding sentence, which the Company will pay the Holder and (iii) the date upon which the Company shall purchase the Registrable Securities, which date shall not be later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of the registration request. If the Company so elects to purchase the Registrable Securities which are the subject of a registration request, then upon such purchase the Company shall be relieved of its obligations under this Section 3.1 with respect to such Registrable Securities.

The Company shall also promptly notify each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement when such registration statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto, has become effective. The Company hereby consents to the use of any such prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such prospectus, as may be amended or supplemented.
(d) After the filing of such registration statement, the Company will promptly notify each holder of securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission and shall take all commercially reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to obtain the withdrawal or removal of it if entered.
(e) In connection with any Demand Registration Statement, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such state securities or blue sky laws of those jurisdictions in the United States (where an exemption is not available) as any Selling Holder or managing underwriter or underwriters, if
any, reasonably (in light of the Selling Holders intended plan of distribution) requests, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to this Agreement, and to do any and all other similar acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Holders to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Holders in each such jurisdiction; provided , however , that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (e), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject to taxation or (iii) consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(f) In connection with any Demand Registration Statement, the Company will enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement, if any, in customary form) as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Each Selling Holder participating in an underwritten offering shall also enter into and perform its or his obligations under the underwriting agreement.
(g) The Company shall cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed.

(i) The Company will promptly notify each Selling Holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the existence of any fact of which the Company is aware or the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to either the registration statement or related prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such registration statement or related prospectus, both as then in effect, will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading and promptly make available to each Selling Holder a reasonable number of copies of any such supplement or amendment.
(j) The Company will make available for inspection by any Selling Holder of such Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the Inspectors ), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the Records ) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to discharge their due diligence responsibility under the Securities Act, and cause the Companys officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with the discharge of their due diligence responsibility. Records which the Company determines, in good faith, to be
confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Selling Holder of such Registrable Securities agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise disclosed by it unless and until such is made generally available to the public and further agrees, if the Company so requests, to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Company that is reasonably acceptable to the Selling Holder and the Company.

(l) In connection with a disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration Statement in which there is a participating underwriter or underwriters, the Company will furnish to each Selling Holder and to each underwriter, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Selling Holder or underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Companys independent public accountants (to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants), each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such offering or the managing underwriter or underwriters therefor reasonably requests.
(m) The Company will otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, beginning within three (3) months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission).
(n) Provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent for all Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of the registration statement.
3.3 Material Developments, Suspension of Offering.
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.1 or 3.1 hereof or any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to file a registration statement or to keep any registration statement effective if 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 reasonable 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 be expected, in the Companys reasonable determination, to cause the registration statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements; provided , however , that the Company (i) will promptly notify the Holders of Registrable Securities otherwise entitled to registration of a delay, suspension or withdrawal pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) and (ii) may not delay, suspend or withdraw the registration statement for such reason under this Section 3.3(a) more than twice in any twelve (12) month period or two times in any twenty-four (24) month period or for more than ninety (90) days at any time. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event during the period the registration statement is effective which is of a type specified in the preceding sentence or as a result of which the registration statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, the Holders agree that they will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the registration statement (until they receive copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatements or omissions and receive notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless notified by the Company that they may resume such offers and sales). If so directed by the Company, Holders will deliver to the Company any copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in their possession at the time of receipt of such notice. Each Holder agrees to keep confidential the fact that the Company has exercised its rights under this Section 3.3 and all facts and circumstances relating to such exercise until such information is made public by the Company.
(b) If all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension, or if the consummation of any business combination by the Company has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, upon written notice thereof by the Company to the Holders, the rights of the Holders to acquire Registrable Securities pursuant to the Issuance Registration Statement or to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Demand Registration Statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be suspended until the date on which the Company has filed such reports or obtained and filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the
Issuance Registration Statement or the Demand Registration Statement and the Company shall notify the Holders as promptly as practicable when such suspension is no longer required. The Companys rights to suspend its obligations under this Section 3.3(b) shall be in additional to its rights under Section 3.3(a).
3.4 Registration Expenses . In connection with any registration statement required to be filed hereunder, except as provided below, the Company shall pay all registration expenses incurred in connection with the registration (the Registration Expenses ), including the following: (i) all registration and filing fees, including fees and expenses with respect to filings required to be made with any securities exchange on which the Registrable Securities are required to be listed, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Company), (iii) printing and distribution expenses, (iv) internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, (vi) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the independent public accountants of the Company, and (vii) the fees and expenses of any experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration, including accounting fees and expenses.

3.5 Indemnification by the Company . The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, its partners, members, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, but subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 hereof, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Demand Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) (individually, a Resale Registration Statement ), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment thereto) contained in a Resale Registration Statement at the time it became effective (a Resale Prospectus ), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder or on such Selling Holders behalf expressly for inclusion
therein; provided , however , that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission contained in a Resale Prospectus which was corrected in a supplement or amendment thereto if such claim is brought by a purchaser of Registrable Securities from the Selling Holder and the Selling Holder failed to deliver to such purchaser the supplement or amendment to the Resale Prospectus in a timely manner.
3.6 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities . Each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Resale Registration Statement agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 3.5 from the Company to Selling Holders, but only with respect to information relating to such Selling Holder furnished in writing by such Selling Holder or on such Selling Holders behalf expressly for use in any Resale Registration Statement or Resale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Each Holder also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 3.6.
3.7 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . Each indemnified party shall give reasonably prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnity agreement provided in Section 3.5 or 3.6 above, unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified party results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to the indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided under Section 3.5 or 3.6 above. If the indemnifying party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of notice, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of the action or proceeding at the indemnifying partys own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such action or proceeding without the written consent of the indemnified party unless such settlement, compromise or consent secures the unconditional release of the indemnified party; provided, further, that if the defendants in any such action or proceeding include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party reasonably determine based upon advice of legal counsel experienced in such matters, that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the indemnified party and the indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the indemnifying partys expense, which counsel shall be chosen by the indemnified party and approved by the indemnifying party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that it is understood that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees, charges and disbursements of more than one separate firm. If the indemnifying party is
not entitled to assume the defense of such action or proceeding as a result of the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the indemnifying partys counsel shall be entitled to conduct the indemnifying partys defense and counsel for the indemnified party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the indemnified party, it being understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other, to the extent feasible in light of the conflict of interest or different available legal defenses, to conduct the defense of such action or proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the indemnifying party is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume the defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3.7, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party; in that event, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of the indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of an action or proceeding in accordance with this Section, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party incurred thereafter in connection with that action or proceeding except as set forth in the proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.7. 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, the indemnifying party shall reimburse, promptly as they are incurred, the indemnified partys costs of defense.
3.8 Contribution.
(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 3.5 or 3.6 hereof is applicable in accordance with its terms, but if determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be legally unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as between the Company on the one hand and each Selling Holder on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each Selling Holder on the other in connection with such statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each Selling Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Company or such Selling Holder, and the Companys and the Selling Holders relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.
(b) The Company and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 3.8(a). The amount paid or payable by an indemnifying party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Sections 3.5 and 3.6 hereof shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.8, no Selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the total proceeds to such
Selling Holder from sales of the Registrable Securities of the Selling Holder under the registration statement that is the subject of the claim. 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. For purposes of this Section 3.8, each person, if any, who controls a Selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Selling Holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed a registration statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
(c) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 3.8 shall survive the termination or completion of any offering of Registrable Securities under a registration statement covered by this Agreement.
3.9 Participation in Underwritten Registrations . No Holder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless the Holder (a) agrees to sell his or its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in the applicable underwriting arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents in customary form as reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
3.10 Holdback Agreements . Each Holder whose securities are included in a Demand Registration Statement agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of the securities registered or any similar security of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the ninety (90)-day period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement (except as part of such registration) if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering.
