of June 6, 2007 (the “Amended Effective Date”)
between HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. , a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware (“HCN” and a

having its principal office located at One SeaGate,

R E C I T A L
S
A. Effective as of
May 2, 2007, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Master Lease
Agreement (“Master Lease”).
B. As of the date hereof,
Landlord acquired the Leased Property (defined below) located in
Waukesha, Wisconsin.
C. Landlord and Tenant desire
to amend certain provisions of the Master Lease and do hereby
restate the Master Lease in its entirety as set forth
herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and
Tenant agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1: LEASED
PROPERTY, TERM AND DEFINITIONS
1.1 Leased Property .
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord the Leased Property, subject, however, to the Permitted
Exceptions and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease.
1.2 Indivisible Lease
. This Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the entire Leased
Property. The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit and the
Base Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed
to based on a lease of all of the Leased Property as a single,
composite, inseparable transaction. This Lease would not have been
made on these terms if it was not a single indivisible lease.
Except as expressly provided herein for specific, isolated purposes
(and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all
provisions of this Lease shall apply equally and uniformly to all
the Leased Property as one unit and any Event of Default under this
Lease is an Event of Default as to the entire Leased Property. The
parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times
be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their
mutual objective to create a single indivisible lease of all the
Leased Property and, in particular but without limitation, that for
purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this
Lease
under the Bankruptcy Code, this is one
indivisible and nonseverable lease and executory contract dealing
with one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or
assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Leased
Property covered hereby. The parties agree that the existence of
more than one Landlord under this Lease does not affect the
indivisible, nonseverable nature of this Lease. The parties may
amend this Lease from time to time to include one or more
additional Facility Properties as part of the Leased Property and
such future addition to the Leased Property shall not in any way
change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Lease and
all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full
force.
1.3 Term . The initial
term (“Initial Term”) of this Lease commenced on the
Effective Date and expires at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Time on
December 31, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”);
provided, however, that Tenant has one option to renew the Lease
pursuant to Article 12.
1.4 Definitions .
Except as otherwise expressly provided, [i] the terms defined
in this section have the meanings assigned to them in this section
and include the plural as well as the singular; [ii] all
accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as of the time applicable; and [iii] the words
“herein”, “hereof” and
“hereunder” and similar words refer to this Lease as a
whole and not to any particular section.
“Acquisition
Payment” means any payment by Landlord to acquire Leased
Property.
“ADA” means the

required under the Assumed Lease in the month next succeeding the

necessary to pay and discharge the obligations arising under the

renewal option thereunder.
ARTICLE 2:
RENT
2.1 Construction Rent
. The Rent payable for a Development Project and for the San
Antonio Project Improvements shall commence with the first
Contingent Payment for Project Improvements and continue during the
Construction Term (“Construction Rent”) shall be paid
in arrears in consecutive monthly installments and shall be
included by Landlord in each monthly Contingent Payment. Landlord
will provide Tenant an informational copy of a Construction Rent
invoice prepared in accordance with the terms of the Term Sheet
each month. The final payment of Construction Rent shall be paid on
the final day of the Construction Term. The Construction Rent for
(i) each Development Project will be based upon the aggregate
amount of the Acquisition Payments and the Contingent Payments made
for such Development Project as of the applicable date, and
(ii) for San Antonio Project Improvements will be based upon
the aggregate amount of the Contingent Payments made for such
Project Improvements as of the applicable date, and
Landlord’s rate of return equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 4.35%,
adjusted from month to month at the time and in accordance with the
Term Sheet to reflect each change in the LIBOR Rate.
2.2 Base Rent . Tenant
shall pay Landlord base rent (“Base Rent”) in advance
in consecutive monthly installments payable on the first day of
each month during the Term and Renewal Term commencing on the
Amended Commencement Date. If the first day of the Term is not the
first day of a month, Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent on the
first day of the Term for the period from the first day of the Term
until the Amended Commencement Date. The estimated Base Rent
payable for the first Lease Year of the Term
- 14 -
is as shown on the Rent Schedule,
subject to adjustment pursuant to §2.3.2 (if applicable) For
the second and each subsequent Lease Year of the Term, the Base
Rent shall be paid in accordance with the most recent revised Rent
Schedule provided by Landlord pursuant to §2.3, as applicable.
The Base Rent for each Renewal Term will be determined in
accordance with §12.2.
2.3 Base Rent
Adjustments .
2.3.1 Annual Increase of
Base Rent . Commencing on the second Rent Adjustment Date and
on each Rent Adjustment Date thereafter, the monthly installment of
Base Rent shall increase by an amount equal to 1/12th of the Annual
Rent Increase. As of each Rent Adjustment Date, Landlord shall
promptly calculate the Annual Rent Increase and shall deliver the
revised Rent Schedule to Tenant no later than 30 days after
the Rent Adjustment Date. Until the revised Rent Schedule is
delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the monthly Base Rent with
the Annual Rent Increase calculated based upon an Increaser Rate of
.25%. After the revised Rent Schedule is delivered to Tenant, if
the actual monthly Base Rent is more than the monthly Base Rent
paid pursuant to the preceding sentence, the difference shall be
added to the monthly Base Rent payment made for the following
month. Thereafter, Tenant shall make monthly Base Rent payments in
accordance with the revised Rent Schedule.
2.3.2 Additional Landlord
Payments . If Landlord makes a Landlord Payment other than the
initial Acquisition Payment, the Base Rent will be increased
effective on the Payment Date based upon the applicable rate of
return to Landlord as set forth in the Term Sheet. Until Tenant
receives a revised Rent Schedule from Landlord, Tenant shall for
each month [i] continue to make installments of Base Rent
according to the Rent Schedule in effect on the day before the
Payment Date; and [ii] within 10 days following
Landlord’s issuance of an invoice, pay the difference between
the installment of Base Rent that Tenant paid to Landlord for such
month and the installment of Base Rent actually due to Landlord for
such month as a result of the Landlord Payment. On the first day of
the month following receipt of the revised Rent Schedule, Tenant
shall pay the monthly installment of Base Rent specified in the
revised Rent Schedule.
2.4 Additional Rent .
In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay all other amounts,
liabilities, obligations and Impositions which Tenant assumes or
agrees to pay under this Lease including any fine, penalty,

lease”, and Tenant shall pay all Rent and other charges and
expenses in connection with the Leased Property throughout the
Term, without abatement, deduction, recoupment or setoff. Landlord
shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and
remedies provided either in this Lease or by statute or otherwise
in the case of nonpayment of the Rent.
- 15 -
2.7 No Termination,
Abatement, Etc . Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Lease, Tenant shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance
with its terms. Tenant shall not, without the consent of Landlord,
modify, surrender or terminate the Lease, nor seek nor be entitled
to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent, or
setoff or recoupment against the Rent. Except as expressly provided
in this Lease, the obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not be
affected by reason of [i] any damage to, or destruction of,
the Leased Property or any part thereof from whatever cause or any
Taking (as hereinafter defined) of the Leased Property or any part
thereof; [ii] the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or
restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, or any
part thereof, the interference with such use by any person,
corporation, partnership or other entity, or by reason of eviction
by paramount title; [iii] any claim which Tenant has or might
have against Landlord or by reason of any default or breach of any
warranty by Landlord under this Lease or any other agreement
between Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are
parties; [iv] any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or
other proceeding affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee
of Landlord; or [v] any other cause, whether similar or
dissimilar to any of the foregoing, other than a discharge of
Tenant from any such obligations as a matter of law. Except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant hereby
specifically waives all rights, arising from any occurrence
whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law
[a] to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or
surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof; or
[b] entitling Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension
or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder.
The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate
and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other
sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in
all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be
terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by
termination of this Lease other than by reason of an Event of
Default.

collectively “Transaction Fee”) in the amount and on
the dates set forth in the Term Sheet. The Transaction Fee for the
San Antonio Facility shall be paid upon issuance of the certificate
of occupancy for the San Antonio Facility. The Transaction Fee for
the Waukesha Facility shall be paid upon issuance of the
certificate of occupancy for the Waukesha Facility.
ARTICLE 3: IMPOSITIONS AND
UTILITIES
3.1 Payment of
Impositions . Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all
Impositions that may be levied or become a lien on the Leased
Property or any part thereof at any time (whether prior to or
during the Term), without regard to prior ownership of said Leased
Property, before any fine, penalty, interest, or cost is incurred;
provided, however, Tenant may contest any Imposition in accordance
with §3.7 and further provided that for an Imposition that is
levied prior to expiration of the Term but relates to periods
accruing after the Term, Tenant shall only be responsible for that
portion of the Imposition accruing during the Term. Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord [i] not more than five days after the due
date of each Imposition, copies of the invoice for such Imposition
and the check delivered for payment thereof, but only for
Impositions that are not paid on a monthly basis; and [ii] not
more than 30 days after the due date of each Imposition, a
copy of the official receipt evidencing such payment or other proof
of payment satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant’s obligation to
pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date
such Impositions become a lien
- 16 -
upon the Leased Property or any part
thereof. Tenant, at its expense, shall prepare and file all tax
returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required
by governmental authorities. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund
due from any taxing authority if no Event of Default shall have
occurred hereunder and be continuing and if Tenant shall have paid
all Impositions due and payable as of the date of the refund.
Landlord shall be entitled to any refund from any taxing authority
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any refunds
retained by Landlord due to an Event of Default shall be timely
applied to an obligation of Tenant in the order which Landlord may
determine in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Landlord and
Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is
maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to
the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required
returns and reports. In the event governmental authorities classify
any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant
shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions
where it may legally so file. Landlord, to the extent it possesses
the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, will
provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation
records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified
as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file
personal property tax returns, Tenant will be provided with copies
of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported
value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest. Tenant may,
upon notice to Landlord, at Tenant’s option and at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute
such other proceedings as Tenant may deem appropriate to effect a
reduction of real estate or personal property assessments and
Landlord, at Tenant’s expense as aforesaid, shall fully
cooperate with Tenant in such protest, appeal, or other action.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all personal property taxes
paid by Landlord within 30 days after receipt of billings
accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which
identify the personal property with respect to which such payments
are made. Impositions imposed in respect to the tax-fiscal period
during which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and prorated
between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is
imposed before or after such termination, and Tenant’s
obligation to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such
termination.
3.2 Definition of
Impositions . Subject to the last sentence of §3.2,
“Impositions” means, collectively, [i] taxes
(including, without limitation, all capital stock and franchise
taxes of Landlord imposed by the Facility State or any governmental
entity in the Facility State due to this lease transaction or
Landlord’s ownership of the Leased Property and the income
arising therefrom, or due to Landlord being considered as doing
business in the Facility State because of Landlord’s
ownership of the Leased Property or lease thereof to Tenant), all
real estate and personal property ad valorem, sales and use,
business or occupation, single business, gross receipts, commercial
activity, transaction privilege, rent or similar taxes;
[ii] assessments (including, without limitation, all
assessments for public improvements or benefits, whether or not
commenced or completed prior to the date hereof and whether or not
to be completed within the Term); [iii] ground rents, water,
sewer or other rents and charges, excises, tax levies, and fees
(including, without limitation, license, permit, inspection,
authorization and similar fees); [iv] all taxes imposed on
Tenant’s operations of the Leased Property, including,
without limitation, employee withholding taxes, income taxes and
intangible taxes; [v] all taxes imposed by the Facility State
or any governmental entity in the Facility State with respect to
the conveyance of the Leased Property by Landlord to Tenant or
Tenant’s designee, including, without limitation, conveyance
taxes, capital gains taxes, and commercial
- 17 -
activity taxes; and [vi] all other
governmental charges, in each case whether general or special,
ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen, of every
character in respect of the Leased Property or any part thereof
and/or the Rent (including all interest and penalties thereon due
to any failure in payment by Tenant), which at any time prior to,
during or in respect of the Term hereof may be assessed or imposed
on or in respect of or be a lien upon [a] Landlord or
Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property or any part
thereof; [b] the Leased Property or any part thereof or any
rent therefrom or any estate, right, title or interest therein; or
[c] any occupancy, operation, use or possession of, or sales
from, or activity conducted on, or in connection with the Leased
Property or the leasing or use of the Leased Property or any part
thereof. Tenant shall not, however, be required to pay any tax
based on net income imposed on Landlord by any governmental entity
(including any tax attributable to Landlord’s taxable margin
levied pursuant to Chapter 171 of the Texas Tax Code or any
amendment or replacement thereof) other than the capital stock and
franchise taxes described in clause [i] above, nor shall
Tenant be required to pay any capital gains tax imposed upon
Landlord in connection with the sale of the Leased Property or sums
due in connection with any easement agreement entered into by
Landlord after the Amended Effective Date without Tenant’s
prior written consent.
3.3 Escrow of
Impositions . If an Event of Default occurs and while it
remains uncured, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the first
day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the Impositions assessed
against the Leased Property for the preceding tax year for real
estate taxes, which sums shall be used by Landlord toward payment
of such Impositions. In addition, if an Event of Default occurs and
while it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s
election, deposit with Landlord on the first day of each month a
sum equal to 1/12th of the Impositions assessed against the Leased
Property for the preceding tax year other than for real estate
taxes, which sums shall be used by Landlord toward payment of such
Impositions. Tenant, on demand, shall pay to Landlord any
additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the obligations of
Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this section. The receipt by
Landlord of the payment of such Impositions by and from Tenant
shall only be as an accommodation to Tenant, the mortgagees, and
the taxing authorities, and shall not be construed as rent or
income to Landlord, Landlord serving, if at all, only as a conduit
for delivery purposes.
3.4 Utilities . Tenant
shall pay, as Additional Rent, all taxes, assessments, charges,
deposits, and bills for utilities, including, without limitation,
charges for water, gas, oil, sanitary and storm sewer, electricity,
telephone service, and trash collection, which may be charged
against the occupant of the Improvements during the Term. If an
Event of Default occurs and while it remains uncured, Tenant shall,
at Landlord’s election, deposit with Landlord on the first
day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the amount of the annual
utility expenses for the preceding Lease Year, which sums shall be
used by Landlord to pay such utilities. Tenant shall, on demand,
pay to Landlord any additional amount needed to pay such utilities.
Landlord’s receipt of such payments shall only be an
accommodation to Tenant and the utility companies and shall not
constitute rent or income to Landlord. Tenant shall at all times
maintain that amount of heat necessary to ensure against the
freezing of water lines. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any liability or damages to the
utility systems and the Leased Property that may result from
Tenant’s failure to maintain sufficient heat in the
Improvements.
- 18 -
3.5 Discontinuance of
Utilities . Landlord will not be liable for damages to person
or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business for any
discontinuance of utilities nor will such discontinuance in any way
be construed as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent
or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease.
3.6 Business Expenses
. Tenant acknowledges that it is solely responsible for all
expenses and costs incurred in connection with the operation of the
Facility on the Leased Property, including, without limitation,
employee benefits, employee vacation and sick pay, consulting fees,
and expenses for inventory and supplies.
3.7 Permitted Contests
. Tenant, on its own or on Landlord’s behalf (or in
Landlord’s name), but at Tenant’s expense, may contest,
by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with
due diligence, the amount or validity or application, in whole or
in part, of any Imposition or any Legal Requirement or insurance
requirement or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or
claim provided that [i] in the case of an unpaid Imposition,
lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the
commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the
collection thereof from Landlord and from the Leased Property;
[ii] neither the Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom nor
any part thereof or interest therein would be in any immediate
danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost; [iii] in
the case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any
immediate danger of civil or criminal liability for failure to
comply therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings;
[iv] in the event that any such contest shall involve a sum of
money or potential loss in excess of $50,000.00, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord and its counsel an opinion of Tenant’s
counsel to the effect set forth in clauses [i], [ii] and
[iii], to the extent applicable; [v] in the case of a Legal
Requirement and/or an Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge,
Tenant shall give such reasonable security as may be demanded by
Landlord to insure ultimate payment of the same and to prevent any
sale or forfeiture of the affected Leased Property or the Rent by
reason of such nonpayment or noncompliance; provided, however, the
provisions of this section shall not be construed to permit Tenant
to contest the payment of Rent (except as to contests concerning
the method of computation or the basis of levy of any Imposition or
the basis for the assertion of any other claim) or any other sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder; [vi] in the case of
an insurance requirement, the coverage required by Article 4
shall be maintained; and [vii] if such contest be finally
resolved against Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall, as Additional
Rent due hereunder, promptly pay the amount required to be paid,
together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon, or comply
with the applicable Legal Requirement or insurance requirement.
Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall execute and deliver to
Tenant such authorizations and other documents as may be reasonably
required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by
Tenant or if Landlord so desires, Landlord shall join as a party
therein. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and save Landlord
harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any
kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such
contest and any loss resulting therefrom.

Property is insured for its full replacement value. If Tenant makes
any Permitted Alterations (as hereinafter defined) to the Leased
Property, Landlord may have such full replacement value
redetermined at any time after such Permitted Alterations are made,
regardless of when the full replacement value was last
determined.
4.6 Blanket Policy .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 4, Tenant may carry the insurance required by this
Article under a blanket policy of insurance, provided that the
coverage afforded Tenant will not be reduced or diminished or
otherwise be different from that which would exist under a separate
policy meeting all of the requirements of this Lease.
4.7 No Separate
Insurance . Tenant shall not take out separate insurance
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required in this Article, or increase the amounts of any then
existing insurance, by securing an additional policy or additional
policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the
subject matter of the insurance, including Landlord and any
mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds or loss
payees, the loss is payable under said insurance in the same manner
as losses are payable under this Lease, and such additional
insurance is not prohibited by the existing policies of insurance.
Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the taking out of such
separate insurance or the increasing of any of the amounts of the
existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional
policies.
4.8 Waiver of
Subrogation . Each party hereto hereby waives any and every
claim which arises or may arise in its favor and against the other
party hereto during the Term for any and all loss of, or damage to,
any of its property located within or upon, or constituting a part
of, the Leased Property, which loss or damage is covered by valid
and collectible insurance policies, to the extent that such loss or
damage is recoverable under such policies. Said mutual waiver shall
be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any
other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any
loss or damage to property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as the
said waivers will preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by
way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an
- 22 -
insurance company (or any other person),
each party hereto agrees immediately to give each insurance company
which has issued to it policies of insurance, written notice of the
terms of said mutual waivers, and to have such insurance policies
properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of
said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers, so long as such
endorsement is available at a reasonable cost.

Landlord.
