This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as the “6.750% Senior Notes due 2041,” originally limited (subject to exceptions provided in the Indenture) in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000; however, from time to time, without giving notice or seeking consent of the Holders of the Notes, the Company may issue additional Notes of this series having the same ranking, interest rate and maturity and other terms as this Note. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.
If, for any reason, the acquisition by the Company of all of the equity interests of HCR Properties, LLC, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2010, by and among the Company, HCP 2010 REIT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, HCR ManorCare, Inc., HCR Properties, LLC and HCR Healthcare, LLC (as amended, from time to time) (the “Purchase Agreement”) is not completed on or prior to June 13, 2011 (the ‘‘HCR ManorCare Facilities Acquisition Termination Date’’), the Notes shall become due and payable on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below) at the Special Mandatory
Redemption Price (as defined below); provided, however, in the event that, as of such HCR ManorCare Facilities Acquisition Termination Date, each of the Deferral Conditions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), shall have been satisfied or waived or, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, would reasonably be expected to be satisfied if the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) occurred on such date, such HCR ManorCare Facilities Acquisition Termination Date shall automatically be extended until September 13, 2011 to the extent the Deferral Conditions, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, would reasonably be expected to be satisfied (or waived), as the case may be, on or prior to such later date; provided further, however, that if the Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the HCR ManorCare Facilities Acquisition Termination Date shall be the date the Purchase Agreement is terminated.
Notice of a special mandatory redemption will be mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, promptly after the occurrence of the event triggering such redemption to each Holder of Notes at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as paying agent, on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes will cease to bear interest and, other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, all rights under the Notes shall terminate.
‘‘Special Mandatory Redemption Date’’ means the date which is 20 Business Days after the HCR ManorCare Facilities Acquisition Termination Date.
‘‘Special Mandatory Redemption Price’’ means 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, as extended (if applicable).

‘‘Treasury rate’’ means, with respect to any Redemption Date:
· the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated ‘‘H.15(519)’’ or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption ‘‘Treasury
Constant Maturities,’’ for the maturity corresponding to the comparable treasury issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the comparable treasury issue will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or
· if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, calculated using a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such Redemption Date.
The treasury rate will be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker on the third Business Day preceding the date fixed for redemption.
‘‘Comparable treasury issue’’ means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (‘‘remaining life’’) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
‘‘Comparable treasury price’’ means (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
‘‘Independent Investment Banker’’ means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company to act as the ‘‘Independent Investment Banker.’’
‘‘Reference Treasury Dealers’’ means each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, UBS Securities LLC, a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a ‘‘Primary Treasury Dealer’’), the Company shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

The Company may redeem the Notes in increments of $1,000. If the Company redeems less than all of the Notes, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed using a method it considers fair and appropriate. The Company will cause notices of redemption to be mailed by
first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.
If this Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to this Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Company will issue a Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of this Note in the name of the Holder hereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Any Notes called for redemption will become due on the Redemption Date. On or after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such not ice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to waive, in certain circumstances, on behalf of all Holders of the Notes, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

This Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Notes or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor depositary with respect to the Notes. If (a) a successor depositary for the Notes is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (b) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority in principal amount of the Notes advise DTC to cease acting as depositary for such Notes, or (c) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Notes (but not less than all) of this series shall no longer be represented by such Global Note or Notes, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Notes of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note or Notes.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series in authorized denominations as requested by the Holders surrendering the same. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of the Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture contains provisions whereby (i) the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes (subject to the survival of certain provisions thereof), (ii) the Company may be discharged from its obligations with respect to the Notes (subject to certain exceptions), or (iii) the Company may be released from its obligations under specified covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Company satisfies certain conditions provided in the Indenture.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the
Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any past, present or future stockholder, employee, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
