DISTRIBUTION TRANSACTIONS

3.01. The Distribution.

(a) Duties and Obligations of Sun. Subject to the conditions herein, on or prior to the Distribution Date, Sun shall, as soon as practicable, instruct the Agent to distribute to the holders of Sun Common Stock, as of the Distribution Record Date, the following:

(x) one share of New Sun Common Stock for every three shares of Sun Common Stock which shall be electronically issued to the holders of Sun Common Stock or to such stockholders’ bank, broker or other nominee on such stockholders’ behalf by way of direct registration in book-entry form;

(y) cash, if applicable, in lieu of fractional shares obtained in the manner provided in Section 3.02; and

(z) a cash dividend in the amount of $[0.17] for each share of Sun Common Stock.

(b) Duties and Responsibilities of New Sun. All shares of New Sun Common Stock issued pursuant to the Distribution will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any preemptive (or similar) rights.

3.02. Fractional Shares.

(a) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no fractional shares of New Sun Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional share interests to which a stockholder would otherwise be entitled will not entitle such stockholder to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of New Sun. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each stockholder who, but for the provisions of this Section 3.02, would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of New Sun Common Stock pursuant to the Distribution shall be paid cash without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. Sun shall instruct the Agent to determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of New Sun Common Stock allocable to each stockholder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then prevailing prices on behalf of stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests and to distribute to each such stockholder his, her or its ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after making appropriate deductions of the amount required for federal income tax withholding purposes and after deducting any applicable transfer taxes. New Sun shall be obligated to pay any brokerage or other fees in connection with the sale of aggregated fractional shares of New Sun Common Stock.

(b) Unclaimed Stock or Cash. Any New Sun Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or distributions with respect to New Sun Common Stock that remain unclaimed by any stockholder 180 days after the Distribution Date shall be returned to New Sun and any such stockholders shall look only to New Sun for the New Sun Common Stock

-14-

and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests and any such dividends or distributions to which they are entitled, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property laws.

3.03. Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the conditions herein and the conditions to the REIT Conversion Merger, at the effective time of the REIT Conversion Merger, [Trust] shall receive [•] share[s] of Sabra Common Stock for each Sun restricted stock unit held by each director, executive officer and employee which has vested as of the Distribution Date but the payment of which has been deferred to a later date. At the time of the payment of the award, [Trustee] shall deliver to the holder of such award, in satisfaction of New Sun’s obligations therefor, [•] share[s] of Sabra Common Stock for each unit, subject to any appropriate equitable adjustments to reflect future corporate transactions. New Sun hereby agrees and covenants to Sabra that New Sun, its Subsidiaries and [Trust] shall not acquire any additional shares of Sabra Common Stock which would cause [Trust] to own a number of shares in excess of those it needs to fulfill its obligations in respect of the Sun restricted stock units referred to in the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE IV

SURVIVAL, ASSUMPTION AND INDEMNIFICATION

4.01. Survival of Agreements. All covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive the Distribution Date in accordance with their respective terms and shall not be merged into any deeds or other transfer or closing instruments or documents.

4.02. Ancillary Agreements. This Article IV shall not be applicable to any Indemnifiable Losses or Liabilities (a) governed by the Tax Allocation Agreement; or (b) which relate to or are otherwise expressly provided for in the Ancillary Agreements.

4.03. Assumption and Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Sections 4.02 and 4.03(c) and except as expressly provided in the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Distribution Date, Sun and Sabra shall retain or assume, as the case may be, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the New Sun Group, and each of their Representatives and Affiliates, from and against, (i) all Sabra Liabilities, (ii) the use and operation of the Sabra Assets by Sabra following the Distribution, (iii) all Losses arising from or relating to or due to the failure to pay, perform or discharge in due course the Sabra Liabilities by any member of the Sabra Group who has an obligation with respect thereto and (iv) all Losses arising from or relating to any breach or violation of the covenants made in this Agreement by Sabra.

(b) Subject to Sections 4.02 and 4.03(c) and except as expressly provided in the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Distribution Date, New Sun shall retain or assume, as the case may be, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sabra Indemnified Parties from and against, (i) all New Sun Liabilities, (ii) the use and operation of the New Sun Assets by New Sun following the Distribution, (iii) any and all Losses arising from or relating to or due to

-15-

the failure to pay, perform or discharge in due course the New Sun Liabilities by any member of the New Sun Group who has an obligation with respect thereto and (iv) all Losses arising from or relating to any breach or violation of the covenants made in this Agreement by New Sun.

(c) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to any Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 4.03(a) or (b) shall be reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any Insurance Proceeds and other amounts (including, without limitation, amounts received from Third Parties in respect of other indemnification or contribution obligations of Third Parties) actually recovered by such Indemnitee in reduction of the related Indemnifiable Loss, it being understood and agreed that each member of the Sabra Group and the New Sun Group shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to collect any such proceeds or other such amounts to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled, without regard to whether it is the Indemnitee hereunder. If an Indemnitee receives an Indemnity Payment in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or other amounts in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, then such Indemnitee shall pay to such Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of any Indemnity Payment and the amount of any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually received and (ii) the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss. An insurer or a Third Party (including, without limitation, purchasers under any asset purchase agreements, real estate agreements or any other agreements relating to New Sun Liabilities or Sabra Liabilities) who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto, or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a benefit it would not otherwise be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions set forth herein.

(d) On the Distribution Date, New Sun shall assume (or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to assume) (i) the prosecution of all claims which relate to the Healthcare Business that are either pending on or arise after the Distribution Date; (ii) in conjunction with Sabra pursuant to Section 4.03(e), the defense against all Third Party Claims arising from or relating to the Distribution or the REIT Conversion Merger; and (iii) the defense against all Third Party Claims which are New Sun Liabilities and are either pending on or arise after the Distribution Date. Sabra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to New Sun and its Subsidiaries, at New Sun’s expense, (x) any personnel or any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available that New Sun or such Subsidiary reasonably believes are necessary or appropriate for such prosecution or defense as provided in this Article IV; and (y) such other assistance in support of the prosecution or defense of such litigation as New Sun or its Subsidiaries may reasonably request, including without limitation, the right to assert in the name of Sabra or any of its Subsidiaries such rights, claims, counterclaims or defenses that Sabra or any Sabra Subsidiary would be or would have been entitled to assert in such litigation or in the prosecution of or defense against such claim had the Distribution not occurred; provided, however, that no member of the Sabra Group shall be required to take any action, refrain from taking any action or make available any assistance if doing so would have the effect of increasing Liabilities of the Sabra Group.

-16-

(e) On the Distribution Date, Sabra shall assume (or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to assume) (i) the prosecution of all claims which relate to the Real Estate Business that are either pending on or arise after the Distribution Date; (ii) in conjunction with New Sun pursuant to Section 4.03(d), the defense against all Third Party Claims arising from or relating to the Distribution or the REIT Conversion Merger; and (iii) the defense against all Third Party Claims which are Sabra Liabilities and are either pending on or arise after the Distribution Date. New Sun shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Sabra and its Subsidiaries, at Sabra’s expense, (x) any personnel or any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available that Sabra or such Subsidiary reasonably believes are necessary or appropriate for such prosecution or defense as provided in this Article IV; and (y) such other assistance in support of the prosecution or defense of such litigation as Sabra or its Subsidiaries may reasonably request, including without limitation, the right to assert in the name of New Sun or any of its Subsidiaries such rights, claims, counterclaims or defenses that New Sun or any New Sun Subsidiary would be or would have been entitled to assert in such litigation or in the prosecution of or defense against such claim had the Distribution not occurred; provided, however, that no member of the New Sun Group shall be required to take any action, refrain from taking any action or make available any assistance if doing so would have the effect of increasing Liabilities of the New Sun Group.

4.04. Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party is obligated under this Agreement to provide indemnification, such Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice thereof; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 4.04 shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IV, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such written notice shall describe such Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and, if practicable, shall indicate the estimated amount of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be sustained by such Indemnitee. Thereafter, such Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to such Third Party Claim.

(b) An Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s own expense and through counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee), may elect to defend any Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim, then, within fifteen Business Days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim or sooner (but in no event less than five Business Days) if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so. The Indemnitee shall thereupon use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, such assistance in support of the prosecution or defense of such litigation as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, including without limitation, the right to assert in the name of the Indemnitee such rights, claims, counterclaims or defenses that the Indemnitee would be or would have been permitted to assert in such litigation or in the prosecution of a claim or counterclaim against a Third Party or in defense against such Third Party Claim had the Distribution not occurred. The Indemnifying

-17-

Party shall pay the Indemnitee’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation consistent with the provisions of this Article IV. Except as provided herein, after notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Article IV for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, unless the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that, with respect to such claims, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in this Section 4.04 within the period of fifteen (or five, if applicable) Business Days described above, the Indemnitee may defend, compromise and settle such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no the Indemnitee may compromise or settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any personnel or any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.

(e) Upon obtaining knowledge of any Indemnifiable Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted. If the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim of indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee within thirty days after the receipt of such notice. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party under Article X of this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the Indemnitee’s claim of indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of any valid claim within thirty days after receipt of notice from the Indemnitee.

(f) If the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss shall, at any time subsequent to the payment required by this Agreement, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party.

(g) In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such

-18-

Indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim, including without limitation, permitting the Indemnifying Party to bring suit against such Third Party in the name of the Indemnitee.

4.05. Tax Procedures.

(a) With respect to any period in which Sabra has made or will make an election to be taxed as a REIT, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, any payments to be made by New Sun to any member of the Sabra Group pursuant to Sections 4.03(b), 4.03(c) or 4.04(f) for any calendar year shall not exceed the sum of (i) the amount that it is determined will not be gross income of Sabra for purposes of the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code for any period in which Sabra has made an election to be taxed as a REIT, with such determination to be set forth in an opinion of outside tax counsel selected by Sabra, which such opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to Sabra (such opinion is referred to as a “No Gross Income Opinion”) plus (ii) such additional amount that it is estimated can be paid to Sabra in such taxable year without causing Sabra to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code, determined (x) as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2)(A)-(H) and 856(c)(3)(A)(I) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”) and (y) by taking into account any other payments to Sabra during such taxable year that do not constitute Qualifying Income, which determination shall be (A) made by independent tax accountants to Sabra, and (B) submitted to and approved by Sabra’s outside tax counsel, and (iii) in the event that Sabra receives a ruling from the IRS holding that Sabra’s receipt of the additional amount otherwise to be paid under this Agreement either would constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income of Sabra for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code (the “Specified REIT Requirements”), the aggregate payments otherwise required to be made pursuant to Sections 4.03(b), 4.03(c) or 4.04(f) (determined without regard to this Section 4.05(a)) less the amount otherwise previously paid under clauses (i) and (ii) above.

(b) New Sun shall place the full amount of any payments otherwise to be made by New Sun pursuant to Sections 4.03(b), 4.03(c) or 4.04(f) in a mutually agreed escrow account upon mutually acceptable terms (which shall provide that (i) the amount in the escrow account shall be treated as the property of New Sun, unless it is released from such escrow account to any Sabra Indemnified Party, (ii) all income earned upon the amount in the escrow account shall be treated as the property of New Sun and reported, as and to the extent required by Applicable Law, by the escrow agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned by New Sun whether or not said income has been distributed during such taxable year and (iii) any portion thereof shall not be released to any Sabra Indemnified Party unless and until New Sun receives any of the following: (x) a letter from Sabra’s independent tax accountants indicating the amount that it is estimated can be paid at that time to the Sabra Indemnified Parties without causing Sabra to fail to meet the Specified REIT Requirements for the taxable year in which the payment would be made, which determination shall be made by such independent tax accountants, or (y) an opinion of outside tax counsel selected by Sabra, such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to Sabra, to the effect that, based upon a change in Applicable Law after the date on which payment was first deferred

-19-

hereunder, receipt of the additional amount otherwise to be paid pursuant to Sections 4.03(b), 4.03(c) or 4.04(f) either would be excluded from gross income of Sabra for purposes of the Specified REIT Requirements or would constitute Qualifying Income, in any of which events New Sun shall pay to the applicable Sabra Indemnified Parties the lesser of the unpaid amounts due pursuant to Sections 4.03(b), 4.03(c) or 4.04(f) (determined without regard to this Section 4.05) or the maximum amount stated in the letter referred to in (iii)(x) above).

(c) Any amount held in escrow pursuant to Section 4.05(b) for five years shall be released from such escrow to be used as determined by New Sun in its sole and absolute discretion.

(d) Sabra shall bear all costs and expenses with respect to the escrow.

(e) New Sun shall cooperate in good faith to amend this Section 4.05 at the reasonable request of Sabra in order to (i) maximize the portion of such payment that may be distributed to Sabra hereunder without causing Sabra to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (ii) improve Sabra’s chances of securing a favorable ruling described in this Section 4.05, or (iii) assist Sabra in obtaining a favorable opinion from its outside tax counsel or determination from its tax accountants as described in this Section 4.05. Sabra shall reimburse New Sun for all reasonable costs and expenses of such cooperation.

4.06. Characterization of Payments. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that payments made pursuant to Sections 4.03(b), 4.03(c) or 4.04(f) are to be treated as relating back to the cash allocation made in accordance with Section 2.12 as a nontaxable adjustment to the amount of cash transferred by New Sun to Sun. The parties to this Agreement shall not take any position inconsistent with such intention before any Taxing Authority, except to the extent that a Final Determination with respect to the recipient party causes any such payment not to be so treated.

If the Corporate Restructuring Transactions, including but not limited to, assignments of contracts, are not consummated prior to or at the Distribution Date for any reason, including but not limited to, the absence of receipt of any Consents, then the party hereto retaining such asset or Liability shall thereafter hold such asset in trust for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the expense of the party entitled thereto), or shall retain such Liability for the account of the party by whom such Liability is to be assumed pursuant hereto, as the case may be, and shall take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the party to whom such asset is to be transferred, or by whom such Liability is to be assumed, as the case may be, in order to place such party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such asset or Liability had been transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby. If and when any such asset or Liability becomes transferable or assumable, the parties shall cooperate to effect such transfer or assumption as quickly thereafter as reasonably practicable. The parties hereto agree that, as of the Distribution Date, as between the parties, (x) New Sun shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership of all of the New Sun Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the New Sun Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto and (y) Sabra shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership of all of the Sabra Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Sabra Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.01(a), Sun, as the sole stockholder of New Sun and Sabra prior to the Distribution, shall ratify any actions taken by New Sun or Sabra on or prior to the Distribution Date which are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by New Sun and Sabra to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreements.

-21-

In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 6.01 above, from and after the Distribution Date and upon reasonable notice, each of the Sabra Group and the New Sun Group shall afford to the other and to the other’s Representatives at the expense of the other party, reasonable access and duplicating rights during normal business hours to all Information developed or obtained prior to the Distribution Date within such party’s possession relating to the other party or its businesses, its former businesses, its assets, its Liabilities, or the Ancillary Agreements, insofar as such access is reasonably requested by such other party, but subject to the applicable confidentiality provisions and restricted use provisions, if any, contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and any confidentiality restrictions imposed by Applicable Law. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, Information may be requested under this Section 6.02 for audit, accounting, claims, intellectual property protection, litigation and Tax purposes, as well as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations. In each case, the requesting party agrees to cooperate with the other party to minimize the risk of unreasonable interference with the other party’s business.

6.05. Retention of Records. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in the Tax Allocation Agreement, each member of the Sabra Group and the New Sun Group shall retain, for a period of five years or such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, all significant Information in such party’s possession or under its control relating to the business, former business, assets or Liabilities of the other party or this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and, after the expiration of such applicable period, prior to destroying or disposing of any of such Information, (a) the party proposing to dispose of or destroy any such Information shall provide no less than thirty days’ prior written notice to the other party, specifying the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of, and (b) if, prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or disposal, the other party requests in writing that any of the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such other party, the party proposing to dispose of or destroy such Information promptly shall arrange for the delivery of the requested Information to a location specified by, and at the expense of, the requesting party.

6.06. Privileged Information. In furtherance of the rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Article VI:

(a) Each party hereto acknowledges that (i) Sun and the Sabra Group on the one hand, and the New Sun Group on the other hand, has or may obtain Information regarding a member of the other Group, or any of its operations, employees, assets or Liabilities (whether in documents or stored in any other form or known to its employees or agents), as applicable, that is or may be protected from disclosure pursuant to the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or other applicable privileges (“Privileged Information”); (ii) there are a number of actual, threatened or future litigations, investigations, proceedings (including arbitration proceedings), claims or other legal matters that have been or may be asserted by or against, or otherwise affect, each or both of Sabra and New Sun (or members of either Group) (“Litigation Matters”); (iii) Sabra and New Sun have a common legal interest in Litigation Matters, in the Privileged Information, and in the preservation of the confidential status of the Privileged Information, in each case relating to the Real Estate Business or the Healthcare Business or any former businesses, the assets or the Liabilities of each party as it or they existed prior to the Distribution Date or relating to or arising from the relationship between the constituent elements of the Groups on or prior to the Distribution Date; and (iv) Sabra and New Sun intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any transfer of Privileged Information in connection herewith or therewith shall not operate as a waiver of any potentially applicable privilege.

(b) Each of Sun, Sabra and New Sun agrees, on behalf of itself and each member of the Group of which it is a member, not to disclose or otherwise waive any privilege attaching to any Privileged Information relating to the Real Estate Business or the Healthcare Business or any former businesses or assets or Liabilities of either party or relating to or arising from the relationship between the Groups on or prior to the Distribution Date, without providing prompt written notice to and obtaining the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be withheld if the other party certifies that such disclosure is to be made in response to a likely threat of suspension or debarment or similar action; provided, however, that Sabra and New Sun may make such disclosure or waiver with respect to Privileged Information if such Privileged Information relates, in the case of Sabra, solely to the Real Estate

-24-

Business or the Sabra Liabilities as each existed prior to the Distribution Date or, in the case of New Sun, solely to the Healthcare Business, or the New Sun Liabilities, as each existed prior to the Distribution Date. In the event of a disagreement between any member of the Sabra Group and any member of the New Sun Group concerning the reasonableness of withholding such consent, no disclosure shall be made prior to (i) a final, nonappealable resolution of such disagreement by a court of competent jurisdiction if such requirement to disclose is part of a pending judicial proceeding; or (ii) a final determination by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to Article X if such requirement to disclose is not part of a pending judicial proceeding.

(c) Upon any member of the Sabra Group or any member of the New Sun Group receiving any subpoena or other compulsory disclosure notice from a court, other governmental agency or otherwise which requests disclosure of Privileged Information, in each case relating to the Real Estate Business or the Sabra Liabilities (in the case of the New Sun Group) or the Healthcare Business, or the New Sun Liabilities (in the case of the Sabra Group), as they or it existed prior to the Distribution Date or relating to or arising from the relationship between the constituent elements of the Groups on or prior to the Distribution Date, the recipient of the notice shall promptly provide to Sabra, in the case of receipt by a member of the New Sun Group, or to New Sun, in the case of receipt by a member of the Sabra Group, a copy of such notice, the intended response, and all materials or information relating to the other Group that might be disclosed. In the event of a disagreement as to the intended response or disclosure, unless and until the disagreement is resolved as provided in paragraph (b) above, Sabra and New Sun shall cooperate to assert all defenses to disclosure claimed by either Group, at the cost and expense of the Group claiming such defense to disclosure, and shall not disclose any disputed documents or information until all legal defenses and claims of privilege have been finally determined.

6.07. Confidentiality. From and after the Distribution Date, each of Sabra and New Sun shall hold, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its employees, Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence all Information concerning or belonging to the other party obtained by it prior to the Distribution Date or furnished to it by such other party pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and shall not release or disclose such Information to any other Person, except its Representatives, who shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.07; provided, however, that Sabra and New Sun and their respective employees, Affiliates and Representatives may disclose such Information to the extent that (a) disclosure is compelled by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of such party’s counsel, by other requirements of Law, or (b) such party can show that such Information was (i) available to such party after the Distribution Date from Third Party sources other than employees or former employees of either party hereto, their Affiliates, former Affiliates, Representatives or former Representatives, on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to such party after the Distribution Date by the other party, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such party, (iii) lawfully acquired by such party from Third Party sources other than employees or former employees of either party hereto, their Affiliates, former Affiliates, Representatives or former Representatives, after the time that it was furnished to such party pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or (iv) is independently discovered or developed after the Distribution Date by employees of such party. Each of Sabra and New Sun and their respective Representatives and Affiliates shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 6.07 with respect to any Information if it exercises the same care with regard to such Information as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar

-25-

Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the confidentiality obligations regarding patient health information and other similar information of each Sabra Subsidiary that is a party to a Lease Agreement with a Subsidiary of New Sun shall be governed by a Business Associate Agreement to be executed by each such Sabra Subsidiary.

ARTICLE IX

INSURANCE

9.01. Coverage. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, coverage of Sabra and members of the Sabra Group under all Sun’s insurance policies shall cease as of the Distribution Date. From and after the Distribution Date, Sabra and its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all insurance coverages in their own right.

9.02. Ownership of Existing Policies and Programs.

(a) On the Distribution Date, Sun shall assign to New Sun, to the extent permitted under the policies, all property damage and business interruption, and liability insurance policies and programs, including, without limitation, primary and excess general and professional liability, Directors and Officers liability, automobile, workers’ compensation, property damage and business interruption, crime and fiduciary insurance policies, in effect on the Distribution Date (collectively, the “New Sun Policies” and individually, a “New Sun Policy”). Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, New Sun shall obtain all of the rights, benefits and privileges, if any, under the New Sun Policies. Except as expressly set forth in this Article IX, after the assignment of the New Sun Policies to New Sun, no member of the New Sun Group shall have any responsibility for or obligation to any member of the Sabra Group under the New Sun Policies relating to property damage and business interruption or liability or workers compensation matters for any period, whether prior to, on or after the Distribution Date.

(b) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations of the parties pursuant to this Article IX, Sabra and New Sun acknowledge that, as of immediately after the Distribution Date, New Sun intends to take such action as it may deem necessary or desirable to remove the members of the Sabra Group and their respective employees, officers and directors as insured parties under any New Sun Policy by any insurance carrier effective immediately following the Distribution Date. No member of the New Sun Group shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the availability of any coverage under any such insurance policy.

-28-

9.03. Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims.

(a) After the Distribution Date, the members of each of the New Sun Group and the Sabra Group shall have the right to assert Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims and the members of the Sabra Group shall have the right to participate with New Sun to resolve Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims under the applicable New Sun Policies up to the full extent of the applicable and available limits of liability of such policy. New Sun or Sabra, as the case may be, shall have primary control over those Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims for which the New Sun Group or the Sabra Group, respectively, bears the underlying loss, subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant policy of insurance governing such control. If a member of the Sabra Group is unable to assert a Pre-Distribution Insurance Claim because it is no longer an “insured” under an operating policy, then New Sun shall assert such claim in its own name and deliver the Insurance Proceeds to Sabra. Any Insurance Proceeds received by the New Sun Group for members of the Sabra Group shall be for the benefit of the Sabra Group. Any Insurance Proceeds received for the benefit of both the New Sun Group and the Sabra Group shall be distributed pro rata based on the respective share of the underlying loss.

(b) With respect to Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims, whether or not known or reported on or prior to the Distribution Date, Sabra shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Sabra Group to, report as soon as practicable such claims arising from the Real Estate Business directly to the applicable insurer(s) and to New Sun, and Sabra shall, or shall cause the applicable member of Sabra Group to, individually, and not jointly, assume responsibility for, and shall pay to the appropriate insurance carriers, the New Sun Group or otherwise, any premiums, retrospectively-rated premiums, defense costs, indemnity payments or uninsured costs arising from any liability or workers compensation losses which are uninsured because of coverage terms or conditions of the operating policies covering such losses, or other charges (including, but not limited to, deductibles, self-insured retentions, reserves and the like) (collectively, “Insurance Charges”) whenever occurring, which shall become due and payable under the terms and conditions of any applicable New Sun Policy in respect of any Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims related to the Real Estate Business, whenever becoming known, which Insurance Charges are known or become known prior to, on or after the Distribution Date. To the extent that the terms of any applicable New Sun Policy provide that any member of the New Sun Group shall have an obligation to pay or guarantee the payment of any such Insurance Charges, New Sun shall be entitled to demand that Sabra make such payment directly to the Person or entity entitled thereto. In connection with any such demand, New Sun shall submit to Sabra a copy of any invoice or listing of claims received by New Sun pertaining to such Insurance Charges together with appropriate supporting documentation. In the event that Sabra fails to pay any such Insurance Charges when due and payable, whether at the request of the Person entitled to payment or upon demand by New Sun, the New Sun Group may (but shall not be required to) pay such Insurance Charges for and on behalf of the Sabra Group and, thereafter, Sabra shall promptly reimburse New Sun for such payment. New Sun shall, and shall cause each member of the New Sun Group to, cooperate and assist the applicable member of the Sabra Group with respect to such claims and shall arrange for the applicable member of the Sabra Group to post any such collateral in respect of the reimbursement obligations as may reasonably be requested by the insurers. Sabra agrees that Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims of members of the Sabra Group shall receive the same priority as Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims of members

-29-

of the New Sun Group and be treated equitably in all respects, including in connection with deductibles, retentions, coinsurance and retrospective premium charges.

(c) New Sun shall not be liable to Sabra for claims, or portions of claims, not reimbursed by insurers under any policy for any reason, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of any insurance carrier(s), policy limitations or restrictions (including exhaustion of limits), any coverage disputes, any failure to timely file a claim by any member of the New Sun Group or any member of the Sabra Group or any defect in such claim or its processing. In the event that insurable claims of both New Sun and Sabra (or the members of their respective Groups) exist relating to the same occurrence, the parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of the joint defense and shall not settle or compromise any such claim without the consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policy). Nothing in this Section 9.03 shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the parties, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise.

9.04. D&O Insurance. After the Distribution Date, to the extent that any claims have been duly reported on or before the Distribution Date under the directors and officers liability insurance policies or fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Policies”) maintained by Sun prior to the Distribution and assumed by New Sun Group as of the Distribution Date, New Sun shall not, and shall cause the members of the New Sun Group not to, take any action that would limit the coverage of the individuals who acted as directors or officers of Sun or its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Distribution Date under any D&O Policies maintained by the members of the New Sun Group. New Sun shall, and shall cause members of the New Sun Group to, reasonably cooperate with the individuals who acted as directors and officers of Sun or its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Distribution Date in their pursuit of any coverage claims under such D&O Policies which could inure to the benefit of such individuals. New Sun shall, and shall cause members of the New Sun Group to, allow Sabra and its agents and representatives, upon reasonable prior notice and during regular business hours, to examine and make copies of the relevant D&O Policies maintained by New Sun and members of the New Sun Group pursuant to this Section 9.04. New Sun shall provide, and shall cause other members of the New Sun Group to provide, such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Sabra in order for Sabra to have in effect after the Distribution Date such new D&O Policies as Sabra deems appropriate with respect to claims reported after the Distribution Date.

9.05. Non-Waiver of Rights to Coverage; Subrogation. An insurance carrier that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto, or, solely by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of the parties hereto hereby contractually waives any and all rights of insurer subrogation under all pertinent policies with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement, and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such waiver of subrogation with respect to each of their respective insurers and all such pertinent policies. No insurance carrier or any third party shall be entitled to a benefit (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive had no Distribution occurred or in the absence of the provisions of this Agreement) by virtue of the provisions hereof. For the

-30-

avoidance of doubt, no provision of this Agreement is intended or shall be construed in any way to prejudice or limit insurance coverage under any applicable policy of insurance or reinsurance.

9.06. Scope of Affected Policies of Insurance. The provisions of this Article IX relate solely to matters involving property damage and business interruption, and liability insurance policies and programs, including, without limitation, primary and excess general and professional liability, Directors and Officers liability, automobile, workers’ compensation, property damage and business interruption, crime and fiduciary insurance policies, and shall not be construed to affect any obligation of or impose any obligation on the parties with respect to any life, health and accident or dental or medical insurance.

9.07. Cooperation. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to the various insurance matters contemplated by this Article IX.

In addition, the arbitration panel, shall be entitled to award to a party such party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees, as determined by the arbitration panel considering those factors mentioned in the first sentence of this Section 10.07, incurred in connection with such party’s preparation for and participation in the arbitration.
