2.             Acknowledgment of Pledge.

a.             HCPI and the Down REIT Sub hereby agree, acknowledge and approve, as being subject to, but complying with Section 11.3 of the LLC Agreement, (i) the grant by Pledgor to Lender of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Loan, and (ii) subject to Section 7.a below, the Transfer, to Lender or other purchaser at foreclosure, of the Pledged Units upon foreclosure (or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, with each reference herein to foreclosure to include such a transfer) thereon by Lender under or pursuant to the Loan; provided, however, that such acknowledgement and approval of the Down REIT Sub is not, and shall not be construed to be, the consent to or approval of any other Transfer in the event Lender or other purchaser at foreclosure becomes the owner of any of the Pledged Units. HCPI agrees to note in its and the Down REIT Sub’s books and records that the Pledgor has granted to Lender a security interest in the Collateral and agrees that upon delivery to HCPI by Lender of the Certificates evidencing ownership of the Pledged Units, together with original unit powers duly executed by Pledgor in blank in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, if requested by Lender, HCPI will register in its books and records, or the books and records of the Down REIT Sub, ownership of such Pledged Units in the name of Lender or its nominee. HCPI agrees that it will not register the Pledged Units (or any entitlement to any dividend, distribution or other proceeds thereof) into the name of any person other than Pledgor or recognize any person other than Pledgor as the owner of such Pledged Units, without the prior written consent of Lender.

b.             HCPI and the Down REIT Sub agree that notwithstanding Section 11.3.D of the LLC Agreement, they will not require an opinion of counsel in order for the Down REIT Sub and HCPI to recognize the Pledgor’s pledge of the Pledged Units and the grant of a security interest to Lender in the Collateral.

c.             HCPI and the Down REIT Sub hereby acknowledge receipt of copies of the Instructions to Register Security Interest attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Instructions”) and the notice of Lender’s security interest contained therein and agree to comply with the terms of the Instructions.

d.             HCPI and the Down REIT Sub hereby agree that by virtue of Lender holding a security interest in the Pledged Units (i) Lender does not and shall not become a Substituted Member under Section 11.4 of the LLC Agreement unless and until Lender forecloses on the Pledged Units and (ii) Lender does not and shall not undertake any obligations or liabilities of Pledgor of any nature whatsoever pertaining to the Pledged Units or under the LLC Agreement, both before or after any foreclosure by Lender on the Pledged Units.

e.             HCPI and the Down REIT Sub acknowledge and agree that upon the execution and delivery to Lender by the Pledgor of this Agreement, the Loan and all schedules hereto and thereto to which the Pledgor is a party, and the Certificates, the Pledgor will not be required to sign any other documents or take any other action with respect to the Transfer of the Pledged Units to Lender in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights under this Agreement.

f.              The parties acknowledge and agree that Lender and Borrower may from time to time further modify the Loan, including by way of adding additional entities as pledgors thereunder and/or by adding additional Non-Managing Member Units as Pledged Units. Any such additional entities added as pledgors and/or any existing pledgors who pledge

3

additional Pledged Units shall concurrently acknowledge their status as parties to this Agreement on such terms and with the same force and effect as if each such entity had originally executed and delivered same. Lender shall give written notice thereof to the Down REIT Sub, HCPI and each pledgor contemporaneously with any such modification of the Loan; no written consent or other acknowledgement shall be required from any entity to which such notice is sent as a condition to the effectiveness of the foregoing. Such notice shall include such further amendment and restatement of Exhibit A and Exhibit C to this Agreement as necessary in order to reflect the Certificates corresponding to additional Pledged Units of each such entity added as an additional pledgor and/or the additional Pledged Units of each such existing pledgor.

3.             Notices. Unless and until HCPI has received written notice from Lender to the effect that Lender no longer claims any interest in the Collateral, (a) HCPI shall send to Lender a copy of each notice sent to holders of LLC Units by HCPI under the LLC Agreement as and when it delivers such notice to Pledgor, including any notice of Reduction pursuant to Section 8.6.D of the LLC Agreement, and (b) at the written request of Lender, HCPI shall send to Lender a copy of each other communication, report or other information from time to time sent to Pledgor as holder of the Pledged Units or Pledged Shares.

4.             Amendments to Registration Rights Agreement and the LLC Agreement. Unless and until HCPI has received written notice from Lender to the effect that Lender no longer claims any interest in the Collateral, (a) no amendment of, termination of, or supplement to, the Registration Rights Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of Lender, and (b) no amendment of, termination of or supplement to the LLC Agreement for which the consent of Pledgor is required shall be effective without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that if written disapproval is not received from Lender within 10 Business Days following receipt by Lender of a written request to approve such amendment (which request shall specifically reference the time limitation imposed by this Section 4), then Lender’s approval of such amendment shall be deemed to have been given.

5.             Distributions.

a.             Following receipt by the Down REIT Sub of written notice (which notice shall specifically reference this Section 5 of this Agreement) from Lender that a Default has occurred and is continuing (a “Default Notice”): (i) upon the written instruction of Lender and until instructions to the contrary are received from Lender, the Down REIT Sub shall remit to Lender all cash distributions otherwise payable to Pledgor in respect of the Pledged Units, and HCPI shall remit to Lender all cash dividends otherwise payable to Pledgor in respect of the Pledged Shares, of any nature, and (ii) upon the written instruction of Lender and until instructions to the contrary are received from Lender, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting or other consensual rights that Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise in respect of the Collateral shall cease, and all such rights (and any other rights Pledgor may have in respect of the Collateral) shall thereupon become vested in Lender, which shall have the sole right to exercise such rights, until further notice from Lender. With respect to cash distributions payable during such time as no event of Default is occurring, Pledgor hereby directs the Down REIT Sub and/or

HCPI, as the case may be, and the Down REIT Sub and/or HCPI, as the case may be, agrees to deposit any and all such dividends and distributions in the following account: Western National Trust Company Custody Account No. 4504500. Any amounts paid to the Lender or its designee as contemplated by the terms of the foregoing shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to Pledgor for all purposes of the LLC Agreement, or other agreement pursuant to which the payment or distribution is made or is required to be made and shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations of the Down REIT Sub or HCPI to make such payment thereunder. Pledgor hereby agrees that neither the Down REIT Sub nor HCPI shall be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under, or in violation of the provisions of, any such agreement by virtue of having made such payments in the foregoing manner.

b.             From and after the date of this Agreement, and whether or not a Default has occurred and is continuing, if Pledgor shall become entitled to receive, in connection with any of the Collateral, any:

(i)            LLC Units or stock certificates (including, without limitation, stock certificates relating to the Pledged Shares), including, without limitation, any certificates (1) issued in respect of additional properties contributed by Pledgor to the Down REIT Sub, or (2) representing a dividend or distribution or issued in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares or partnership units, stock or partnership units split, spin-off, or split-off;

(ii)           Options, warrants, rights or other securities or instruments, whether as an addition to, or in substitution or in exchange for, any of the Collateral, or otherwise;

(iii)          Dividends or distributions payable in property other than cash, including securities issued by other than the issuer of any of the Collateral; or

(iv)          Any sums paid in redemption of any of the Collateral, then HCPI shall deliver the same to Lender, to be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. Any amounts paid to the Lender or its designee as contemplated by the terms of the foregoing shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to Pledgor for all purposes of the LLC Agreement, or other agreement pursuant to which the payment or distribution is made or is required to be made and shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations of the Down REIT Sub or HCPI to make such payment thereunder. Pledgor hereby agrees that neither the Down REIT Sub nor HCPI shall be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under, or in violation of the provisions of, any such agreement by virtue of having made such payments in the foregoing manner.

6.             Registration Rights and Registration Statements. In the name of and on behalf of Pledgor, Lender shall have the right to exercise Pledgor’s Registration Rights with respect to any Pledged Units then owned by Pledgor and held by Lender, including without limitation (i) subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, the right to enforce the applicable provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement pertaining to HCPI’s obligation to file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Issuance Registration Statement”) covering, among other things, the issuance to Lender of REIT Shares issued or to be issued by the Down REIT Sub upon exchange of the Pledged Units attached

hereto and naming Lender as a “Selling Shareholder” thereunder and (ii) the right to request, at the times and in the manner set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, HCPI to register for sale under the Securities Act any Pledged Shares issuable or issued upon exchange of Pledged Units; provided, however, that, in the case of a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Down REIT Sub agrees that Lender shall not be subject to the once-every-twelve-months limitation set forth in clause (i) thereof (provided that if at any time Lender has exercised a Demand Registration right in the previous twelve month period, for which the Down REIT Sub or HCPI has paid the expenses thereof, as provided in Section 3.4 of the Registration Rights Agreement, Lender shall pay the expenses described in Section 3.4 of the Registration Rights Agreement in connection with the filing of such Demand Registration), nor shall Lender be subject to the $1,000,000 minimum requirement referred to in clause (ii) thereof if Lender is exercising Demand Registration Rights with respect to all of the Pledged Shares it owns or has the right to acquire upon an Exchange. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such Registration Rights, and irrevocably instructs HCPI to honor any such exercise by Lender of Pledgor’s Registration Rights.

7.             Rights upon Default.

a.             Restrictions on Transfer. Upon foreclosure of any Pledged Units, the Lender shall be entitled to Transfer such Pledged Units, in whole or in part, subject to applicable restrictions set forth in Section 11.3 through 11.6 of the LLC Agreement; provided, however, that HCPI and the Down REIT Sub acknowledge and agree that (i) the provisions of Section 11.6.C shall not apply to any foreclosure by Lender on any Pledged Units, (ii) to the extent any such restrictions require the consent of HCPI or the Down REIT Sub, HCPI and the Down REIT Sub hereby provide their consent to such foreclosure, (iii) if Lender or a purchaser of Pledged Units at foreclosure is prohibited from becoming a Substituted Member of HCPI, Lender or such purchaser may become an Assignee in accordance with such restrictions, (iv) the Down REIT Sub shall conduct its business in the ordinary course in accordance with past practices, and (v) neither Lender nor any purchaser of Pledged Units or Pledged Shares at foreclosure shall be obligated to assume, or otherwise be responsible for, any obligation Pledgor may have under the LLC Agreement or any other obligation of Pledgor accrued prior to foreclosure under the LLC Agreement; provided that nothing in this subclause 7.a.(v) shall release or reduce any prior obligations of Pledgor to HCPI or the Down REIT Sub, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Down REIT Sub or HCPI that the Down REIT Sub and HCPI have recourse against Pledgor only and not against Lender. HCPI further acknowledges and agrees that the aforesaid restrictions do not apply to Pledged Shares. Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Pledged Shares are subject to certain restrictions on ownership and transfer as set forth in the Charter of HCPI as amended from time to time.

b.             Exchange of Pledged Shares; Foreclosure. In addition to (i) Lender’s rights under Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) Lender’s rights as a pledgee, transferee or Assignee at foreclosure of LLC Units or a Membership Interest as provided in the LLC Agreement, and (iii) any and all other rights Lender may have in respect of a Default under any other agreement, document or instrument, or under applicable law, upon the occurrence of any one or more Defaults (including, without limitation, the right of Lender to exercise its rights under the Loan to foreclose on or acquire the entire interest of Pledgor in all or any portion of any Collateral), Lender shall thereupon and thereafter during the continuance thereof have the

6

right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to do or cause to be done any one or more of the following:

(i)            Exchange of Pledged Units. Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to the Down REIT Sub and in the name of and on behalf of Pledgor, to exercise Pledgor’s exchange rights and require HCPI to exchange all or any portion (as selected and in such order as Lender may elect in its sole discretion) of the Pledged Units in accordance with Section 8.6.A of the LLC Agreement (the “Exchange Rights”). Any request for such exchange shall be made on the form of Notice of Exchange attached hereto as Exhibit D. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise such Exchange Rights, and irrevocably instructs the Down REIT Sub and HCPI to honor any such exercise by Lender of the Exchange Rights. HCPI hereby agrees that upon any such exercise of the Exchange Rights, HCPI shall deliver the entire Cash Amount or REIT Shares to Lender, in each case without deduction in respect of any claim which HCPI or the Down REIT Sub may from time to time have of any nature or kind against Pledgor (other than with respect to any withholding tax obligation imposed by law on the Down REIT Sub with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to Pledgor in respect of Pledged Units, as contemplated in Section 5.3 of the LLC Agreement).

In addition to the foregoing, the second sentence of Section 8.6A of the LLC Agreement is hereby amended with respect to Lender to provide that notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 8.6.A of the LLC Agreement, after, or concurrently with, receipt by HCPI of any Default Notice, the Lender shall have the right to (i) tender Pledged Units for Exchange (subject to the following terms and conditions of Section 8.6.A of the LLC Agreement) and require the Down REIT Sub to acquire up to the number of Pledged Units specified in the Notice of Exchange as referred to in the definition of “Specified Exchange Date” set forth in subparagraph (c) immediately following; provided, however that Lender may tender Pledged Units for Exchange hereunder once irrespective of the aggregate market value of such Pledged Units, and an unlimited number of times, provided the aggregate market value of such Pledged Units is at least $1,000,000 on the date of any such Notice of Exchange.

In connection with the foregoing, the definition of the term “Specified Exchange Date” in the LLC Agreement shall, with respect to Lender and only with respect to Lender, be amended to read as follows:

“Specified Exchange Date” means in the case of an Exchange pursuant to Section 8.6.A hereof, that date specified by Lender in a Notice of Exchange to the Company; provided, however, that such date shall in no event be less than fourteen (14) days (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day) after HCPI’s receipt of such Notice of Exchange and provided further that the Specified Exchange Date, as well as the closing of an Exchange on the Specified Exchange Date, may be deferred in the Managing Member’s sole and absolute discretion, for such time as may be reasonably required to effect, as applicable, (i) necessary funding arrangements, (ii) compliance with the Securities Act or other applicable laws (including, but not limited to, (a) state “blue sky” or other securities laws and (b) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and (iii) satisfaction or waiver of other commercially reasonable and customary closing conditions and requirements for a transaction of such nature (provided that in

7

no event shall such Exchange be delayed more than 30 days in the aggregate with respect to (i) and (iii) above, or more than 150 days in the aggregate with respect to (ii) above.

(ii)           Concurrent Exercise.  The rights exercisable by Lender under this Section 7.b may be invoked before or after foreclosure under the Loan in Lender’s sole discretion, and all without further notice to or any requirement of consent by Pledgor, which hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to give any contrary instructions to HCPI. All parties acknowledge that Lender desires to consummate any necessary foreclosure under the Loan on a basis that such foreclosure occurs concurrent with the closing of an Exchange; all parties agree to cooperate reasonably with Lender to that end. HCPI agrees that it will not act on any separate instructions or communications from Pledgor pertaining to the Pledged Units or Pledged Shares or Registration Rights Agreement without the express written consent of Lender. Nothing in this subparagraph (v) shall in any way obligate Lender to consummate any necessary foreclosure under the Loan in the manner referred to above; Lender may, in its sole discretion, determine that another method of realization upon the Collateral is preferable or required, and such determination by Lender shall in no manner limit or restrict the obligations of Borrower, Pledgor or any other person or entity with respect to the loans contemplated herein.

(iii)          Foreclosure. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan, Lender shall have the right to foreclose on or acquire the entire interest of Pledgor in all or any portion of any Pledged Shares (including all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in the Registration Rights Agreement to the extent applicable to such Pledged Shares) owned by Pledgor, by foreclosure or in any other manner. In the event that Lender elects to exercise its rights under this Section 7.b.v, Lender shall deliver to HCPJ a notice of its intent to do so no later than 10 Business Days prior to the date of any sale, public or private, or of any transfer in lieu of foreclosure, and HCPI (without limitation on its own right, under applicable law, to participate in any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral) shall reasonably cooperate, at no expense to itself, with Lender in completing its foreclosure on the affected Pledged Shares in compliance with applicable laws, including, if applicable, all actions reasonably necessary to comply with the filing requirements described in Rule l44(c)(1) of the Securities Act, so as to enable the Lender to sell such Pledged Shares without registration under the Securities Act.
