1.2The second paragraph of Section 10.10 of the Agreement is amended and restated, as follows:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 10.10: (i) no such modification of a Financial Covenant that would be less beneficial to the holders of the Notes, and no such elimination of a Financial Covenant, shall be effective if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing immediately prior to the time such Modified Bank Financial Covenant or elimination of a Financial Covenant becomes effective; (ii) no modification or series of modifications effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.10 shall be effective to: (A) increase the maximum permitted ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Asset Value as set forth in Section 10.9(a) of this Agreement to a level greater than 0.60 to 1.00 (provided that such Financial Covenant shall be calculated on a basis consistent with the manner in which it was calculated on the First Amendment Effective Date) or eliminate such Financial Covenant set forth in Section 10.9(a) from this Agreement, (B) increase the maximum permitted ratio of Secured Debt to Total Asset Value as set forth in Section 10.9(b) of this Agreement to a level greater than 0.40 to 1.00 (provided that such Financial Covenant shall be calculated on a basis consistent with the manner in which it was calculated on the First Amendment Effective Date) or eliminate such Financial Covenant set forth in Section 10.9(b) from this Agreement, (C) (1) increase the maximum permitted ratio of Unsecured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries to Unencumbered Asset Value as set forth in Section 10.9(c) of this Agreement to a level greater than 0.6667 to 1.0000 (provided that such Financial Covenant shall be calculated on a basis consistent with the manner in which it was calculated on the First Amendment Effective Date), (2) modify the definition of “Capitalization Rate” such that the capitalization rate for: ALFs would be lower than 7.00%, SNFs would be lower than 8.50%, Non-Government Reimbursed Properties that are independent living facilities would be lower than 6.50%, hospitals would be lower than 9.00%, Non-Government Reimbursed Properties that are not independent living facilities would be lower than 7.00%; or other Government Reimbursed Properties would be lower than 9.00%, or (3) eliminate such Financial Covenant set forth in Section 10.9(c) from this Agreement unless (x) such Financial Covenant is replaced with a Financial Covenant prohibiting the ratio of Total Asset Value (but computed solely for unencumbered assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries) to Unsecured Debt, or a formulation for such replacement Financial Covenant which is substantially similar thereto, from being less than 1.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter of the Company, (y) a customary priority debt covenant satisfactory to the Required Holders is added to Section 10.9 and (z) Section 10.1 is modified in a manner consistent with such newly added priority debt covenant and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, provided that if such Financial Covenant set forth in Section 10.9(c) is eliminated as provided in this clause (C)(3), then, unless such Financial Covenant is subsequently reinstated, the immediately preceding clauses (C)(1) and (C)(2) will not be applicable, (D) decrease the minimum required ratio of EBITDA for any Rolling Period to Fixed Charges for such Rolling Period as set forth in Section 10.9(d) of this Agreement to a level less than 1.50 to 1.00 (provided that such Financial Covenant shall be calculated on a basis consistent with the manner in which it was calculated on the First Amendment Effective Date) or eliminate such Financial Covenant set forth in Section 10.9(d) from this Agreement, or (E) modify any defined terms applicable to or used in the calculation of any Financial Covenant; and (iii) in the event the Bank Facility is terminated, all Financial Covenants hereunder shall be unaffected and shall remain in effect in the same manner as they existed immediately prior to such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any proposed changes to any Financial Covenant pursuant to this Section 10.10 which exceed, or are less than (as applicable), the thresholds set forth in clause (ii) above (when calculated on a basis consistent with the manner in which such Financial Covenant was calculated on the First Amendment Effective Date and not according to

any other method of calculation set forth in any Modified Bank Financial Covenant adopted after the First Amendment Effective Date), shall remain unmodified and shall not become effective and (ii) if, following the First Amendment Effective Date, any Financial Covenant remains unmodified in the circumstances described in clause (i) of this sentence following the adoption of a Modified Bank Financial Covenant, such unmodified Financial Covenant shall continue to be calculated for purposes of Section 10.9 solely on a basis consistent with the manner in which such Financial Covenant was calculated on the First Amendment Effective Date and not according to any other method of calculation set forth in any Modified Bank Financial Covenant, and any breach of such unmodified Financial Covenant shall constitute an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 11 hereunder, notwithstanding the fact that the Company may be in compliance with such ineffective Modified Bank Financial Covenant at such time.”
