Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership (“you” or the “Borrower”) has advised UBS AG, Stamford Branch (“UBS Bank”) and UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities” and, together with UBS Bank, collectively, the “Agents”, “we”, “us” or “UBS”) that you intend to consummate the Transaction (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning assigned to such term in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A or in the Term Sheets referred to below).

1. Commitments.

In connection with the foregoing, UBS Bank is pleased to advise you of its commitment to, if the Requisite Consents (as defined in Exhibit A) to the Amendment (as defined in Exhibit A) are not obtained by the Closing Date, provide the entire principal amount of the Bridge Facility, upon the terms and subject only to the conditions expressly set forth in this commitment letter (together with the exhibits, schedules and annexes attached hereto, this “Commitment Letter”) and in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Summary of Terms” and, together with Exhibit C attached hereto, the “Term Sheets”); provided that the amount of our commitments hereunder for the Bridge Facility shall be automatically reduced on a pro rata basis at any time after the date hereof as set forth in the section titled “Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions” in Exhibit B hereto.


2. Titles and Roles.

You hereby appoint (a) UBS Securities to act, and UBS Securities hereby agrees to act, as sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger for the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Lead Arranger”) and (b) UBS Bank to act, and UBS Bank hereby agrees to act, as sole administrative agent and collateral agent for the Bridge Facility, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter. Each of UBS Securities and UBS Bank will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in the foregoing roles.

In connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility, at the Lead Arranger’s option, UBS Securities and/or one or more affiliates thereof may also be designated as “Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or such other titles as may be deemed appropriate or desirable by the Lead Arranger. In addition, the Lead Arranger shall have the right (with your consent) to award one or more of the roles or titles described above, or such other titles as may be determined by the Lead Arranger in connection with the Bridge Facility, to one or more other Existing Corvette Debtholders and/or Lenders (each as defined below) or affiliates thereof, in each case as determined by the Lead Arranger in its sole discretion with your consent. You agree that, except as contemplated above, no other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with obtaining any commitment to the Bridge Facility unless you and we shall so agree.

3. Syndication.

We reserve the right, prior to and/or after the execution of definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility (the “Credit Documentation”), to syndicate all or a portion of our commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility to a group of banks, financial institutions and other lenders (together with UBS Bank, the “Lenders”) identified by us with your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) pursuant to a syndication to be managed exclusively by the Lead Arranger. All aspects of the syndication of the Bridge Facility, including, without limitation, timing, potential syndicate members to be approached, titles, allocations and division of fees, shall be determined by (and coordinated exclusively through) the Lead Arranger in consultation with you.

Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, we agree that neither the commencement nor the completion of such syndication is a condition to the commitments of UBS Bank hereunder and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the commitments constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date. We further acknowledge and agree that in connection with the closing of the Acquisition (as defined in Exhibit A) you intend to amend or amend and restate (a) the Existing Credit Agreement (as defined in Exhibit B) with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), as Administrative Agent, and (b) the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2015, among Care Capital Properties, LP (“Care Capital LP”), Care Capital Properties, Inc. (“Care Capital”), Care Capital Properties GP, LLC (“Care GP”), certain subsidiaries of Care Capital LP from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lending

 

-2-


institutions party thereto from time to time as Lenders, and BofA, as Administrative Agent in connection with the revolving credit facility and the term A-2 loan facility thereunder (collectively, the “Primary Corvette Credit Facilities” and, together with the Existing Credit Agreement, collectively, the “Primary Credit Facilities”). We also understand and agree that BofA may not participate in any such amendments or amendments and restatements and the Administrative Agent under the amended and restated Primary Credit Facilities may be one or more financial institutions other than BofA (such other financial institutions in such capacity, the “Alternative Administrative Agents”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, we hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with BofA and/or any of its affiliates (or if applicable, the Alternative Administrative Agents) in connection with any syndication of the Bridge Facility in order to coordinate such syndication with the amendment and/or amendment and restatement of the Primary Credit Facilities which will become effective as of the closing of the Acquisition.

If we elect to pursue syndication efforts with respect to the Bridge Facility after your execution and delivery to us of this Commitment Letter and, until 60 days after the Closing Date, you agree actively to assist us in completing a syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to us. Such assistance shall include (a) subject to the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit from your, the Parent Group’s and the Company’s existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between your senior management, representatives and non-legal advisors (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact between senior management, representatives and non-legal advisors of the Parent Group and the Company), on the one hand and the proposed Lenders and rating agencies identified by the Lead Arranger on the other hand, at times and places reasonably requested by the Lead Arranger, (c) assistance by you (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the assistance by the Parent Group) in the prompt preparation of a Confidential Information Memorandum for the Bridge Facility and one (1) set of other marketing materials and information reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arranger to complete a successful syndication for delivery to potential syndicate members and participants, including, without limitation, estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking financial information regarding the future performance of the Parent and its subsidiaries (including the Company) (collectively, the “Projections”), (d) the hosting, with the Lead Arranger, of one meeting with prospective Lenders at a reasonable time and location to be mutually agreed (and one additional meeting which may be held by conference call), (e) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, when requested by the Lead Arranger and prior to the launch of the Bridge Facility, ratings for the Bridge Facility (but no specific ratings) from each of S&P and Moody’s and a public corporate rating and a public corporate family rating (but no specific rating) from S&P and Moody’s, respectively and (f) at any time prior to the earlier of (x) the later of (1) Successful Syndication and (2) the Closing Date and (y) 60 days following the Closing Date, your ensuring (or, in the case of the Parent Group and the Company, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure) that there will not be any announcement, issuance, offering, placement or arrangement of any debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities (including refinancings and renewals of debt but excluding the (i) Amendment, (ii) the Bridge Facility, (iii) the amended Primary Credit Facilities, (iv) amendments to the existing Parent credit facilities that are materially consistent with the amendments contained in the Amendment, (v) indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and permitted by the terms of the Existing Corvette

 

-3-


Facilities, the existing Parent credit facilities or the amended Primary Credit Facilities, and (vi) indebtedness incurred as permitted under the Acquisition Agreement of, or on behalf of, the Parent, the Borrower, the Company or any of your or their subsidiaries) if such announcement, issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Bridge Facility.

You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Agents (and/or, in the case of the Amendment, the existing administrative agent or trustee, as applicable, under the Existing Corvette Facilities (the “Existing Agents”) will make available Information (as defined below) and the Projections, and the Bridge Facility referred to in the paragraph below, to the proposed syndicate of Lenders (as applicable) by transmitting such Information, Projections and documentation through Intralinks, SyndTrak Online, the internet, email or similar electronic transmission systems and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Parent, the Company or their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective securities). You agree, at the request of the Lead Arranger, to assist in the prompt preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memorandum and other marketing materials and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (i) publicly available or (ii) not material with respect to the Parent Group, the Company or their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information” and with any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information being referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”).

It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters will be included in any such Confidential Information Memorandum that authorize the distribution thereof to prospective Lenders, represent that the additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum does not include any material non-public information and exculpate us with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of such Confidential Information Memorandum or any related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof and exculpate you and the Parent Group with respect to any liability related to the misuse of the contents of such Confidential Information Memorandum or any related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof. Before distribution of any such Confidential Information Memorandum or any related offering and marketing materials, each document to be disseminated by the Lead Arranger (or any other Agent or the Existing Agents, as applicable) to Lender in connection with the Bridge Facility (as applicable) will be identified by you as either (i) containing Private Lender Information or (ii) containing solely Public Lender Information.

You further agree that the following documents may be distributed as Public Lender Information, unless you advise the Lead Arranger (and/or the Existing Agent, as appropriate) in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed as Private Lender Information: (a) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arranger for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda, as applicable), (b) customary marketing term sheets and notification of changes in the terms and conditions of the Bridge Facility and (c) drafts and final versions of the Credit Documentation.

4. Information.

You represent and warrant (to your knowledge as to any such information relating to the Parent Group or the Company) that (a) no written information which has been or is hereafter furnished by you or on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Projections, other forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) (such written information being referred to herein collectively as the “Information”) together with all of the reports and documents filed or furnished by the Parent Group and the Company and their subsidiaries with the SEC, taken as a whole contained (or, in the case of Information furnished after the date hereof, will contain), as of the time it was (or hereafter is) furnished, any material misstatement of fact or omitted (or will omit) as of such time to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein taken as a whole not materially misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were (or hereafter are) made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto) and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Lead Arranger by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made and at the time such Projections are made available to the Lead Arranger, it being recognized by the Agents that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ materially from the projected results, and that no assurance can be given that the projected results will be realized. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required by this Commitment Letter to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any laws, rules or regulations, or any obligations of confidentiality binding upon you or any of your affiliates. You agree that if at any time prior to the earlier of (x) 60 days after the Closing Date and (y) the Successful Syndication of the Bridge Facility, any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect (to your knowledge as to Information relating to the Parent Group or the Company) in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations and warranties will be (to your knowledge as to Information relating to the Parent Group or the Company) correct in all material respects under those circumstances; provided, that any such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representations. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Bridge Facility, we will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or the Projections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, none of the making of any representation under this Section 4, the provision of any supplement thereto, nor the accuracy of any such representation or supplement shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability and initial funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date.

Each Agent reserves the right to employ the services of its affiliates and branches (including, without limitation, in the case of UBS, UBS AG) in providing services contemplated by this Commitment Letter and to allocate, in whole or in part, to its affiliates certain fees payable to such Agent in such manner as such Agent and its affiliate may agree in their sole discretion. You acknowledge that (i) each Agent may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Agent, any information related to the Transaction, the Parent, the Company (and your and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates), or any of the matters contemplated hereby and (ii) each Agent and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you or the Parent Group may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein or otherwise.

Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that no Agent nor any affiliate thereof has, except as expressly contemplated in the preceding paragraph, advised or is advising you as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction in connection with the Transaction, this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter. You shall consult with your own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making your own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, and no Agent nor any affiliate thereof shall have any responsibility or liability to you with respect thereto. Accordingly, it is specifically understood that you will base your decisions regarding whether and how to pursue the Transaction or any portion thereof based on the advice of your legal, tax and other business advisors and such other factors that you consider appropriate. Each Agent is serving as an independent contractor hereunder, and in connection with the Transaction, in respect of its services hereunder and in such connection and not as a fiduciary or trustee of any party.

With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by UBS Securities, any of its affiliates or any of their respective customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

(the “Parent”)

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

[DATE]

This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section [        ] of the Credit Agreement, dated as of                     ,         , among [                    ] (the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

I, [                     ], Chief Financial Officer of the Parent (after giving effect to the Transactions), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), DO HEREBY CERTIFY on behalf of the Parent that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions (including the execution and delivery of both the Acquisition Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof):

1. The fair value of the assets of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will exceed their consolidated debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise.

2. The present fair saleable value of the property of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured.

3. The Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted as of the Closing Date.

4. The Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have incurred and do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, any debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, including current obligations, that they do not believe that they will be able to pay (based on their assets and cash flow) as such debts and liabilities become due (whether at maturity or otherwise).

5. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, the undersigned has (i) reviewed the Credit Agreement, (ii) reviewed the financial statements (including the pro forma financial

The undersigned is familiar with the financial performance and business of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

6. For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:

 

  (a) “fair value”

 

    The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.

 

  (b) “present fair salable value”

 

    The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.

 

  (c) “stated liabilities”

 

    The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

 

  (d) “contingent liabilities”

 

    The estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole (but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in stated liabilities), as identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of the Parent.

 

  (e) “The Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital”

 

    For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole is a going concern and has sufficient capital to ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period.
