VRLP hereby grants to SCT Holdings certain rights contained herein relating to the Property Leases and SCT Holdings hereby grants to VRLP certain rights contained herein relating to the Property Leases, all as more particularly set forth herein. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, in the event of a termination of any Property Lease pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable Property Lease, from and after the effective date of such termination, (a) such Property Lease shall no longer be deemed to be a “Property Lease” for purposes of this Agreement, (b) unless such Facility or Facilities are or become a “Facility” or “Facilities” under a different Property Lease, the applicable Facility or Facilities, shall no longer be deemed to be a “Facility” or “Facilities” for purposes of this Agreement, and (c) the Master Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted by excluding from the calculation of Master Rent hereunder the amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent (as defined in the applicable terminated Property Lease) due under any such terminated Property Lease.

3. Term.

(a) The term of this Agreement shall be coterminous with the “Term” of the latest expiring Property Lease (the latest occurring expiration date under the Property Leases being referred to herein as the “Expiration Date”), unless modified (e.g., pursuant to a “Landlord Contraction,” as defined in the Property Leases) or earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Property Leases (as may be extended pursuant to Paragraph 3(b) below, the “Term”).

During each Renewal Term all of the terms and conditions of the Property Leases and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, except as specifically set forth in either such Property Leases and this Agreement and subject to the following provisions: Base Rent for the first Lease Year of each Renewal Term for each Property Lease shall be the greater of (1) Base Rent, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.1.3.1 of each of the Property Leases, with respect to such Lease Year, and (2) Fair Market Rental with respect to such Lease Year. Base Rent under each of the Property Leases in each subsequent Lease Year in either Renewal Term shall be calculated in accordance with Section 3.1.2.1 of each of the Property Leases. No SCT Lessee shall be authorized to exercise any of the options set forth herein.

(c) If SCT Holdings desires to exercise its option under this Paragraph 3 to renew all of the Property Leases, SCT Holdings shall deliver to VRLP written notice of such option exercise (the “Renewal Notice”) not less than one (1) year prior, but not more than eighteen (18) months prior, to the expiration of the Initial Term or the First Renewal Term, as applicable. Delivery of such Renewal Notice shall constitute SCT Holdings’ irrevocable election hereunder for itself and as authorized agent on behalf of all of the SCT Lessees to extend the Term of the Property Leases and the Term hereunder. Within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by VRLP of the Renewal Notice, VRLP and SCT Holdings shall endeavor to mutually agree on Fair Market Rental for each Leased Property under each Property Lease, and the corresponding Facility’s Proportionate Share for each Facility under each Property Lease, with respect to the first Lease Year of the applicable Renewal Term. If the parties cannot so agree, then Fair Market Rental and such Facility’s Proportionate Share shall be determined in accordance with Section 43 of each of the Property Leases.

4. SCT Rent Payments; Master Rent.

(a) SCT Rent Payments. SCT Holdings shall pay and contribute to the applicable SCT Lessee(s) and cause such SCT Lessee(s) to pay to the applicable Ventas Lessor(s), in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, without offset, abatement, demand or deduction, the portion(s) of the SCT Rent Payments that are allocable to the applicable Property Lease(s) in accordance with and within the time periods set forth in the Property Leases during the Term, except as hereinafter expressly provided.

(b) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

(c) Overdue Interest. If SCT Holdings fails to contribute to the applicable SCT Lessee the funds required to pay any SCT Rent Payment and to cause such funds to be paid by the applicable SCT Lessee(s) to the applicable Ventas Lessor(s) on or before the date such payment is due and payable and such amount remains unpaid for a period of five (5) Business Days, such past due payment shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date first due and payable until the date paid; provided, however, that, with respect to any other sums or amounts to be paid and contributed by SCT Holdings hereunder, the Overdue Rate shall apply if such amounts remain unpaid for a period of five (5) Business Days after Notice thereof from VRLP is received by SCT Holdings (calculated from the date of such receipt). The amount of any interest due under this Paragraph 4(c) shall not be diminished by SCT Holdings’ making a partial payment, except in such circumstances where SCT Holdings provides evidence reasonably satisfactory to VRLP that the payment rendered was intended as a full payment, and that the shortfall was due to a good faith mistake. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 4(c), in no event shall SCT Holdings have any obligation to pay interest to VRLP on any overdue amounts (including, without limitation, on the Master Rent) to the extent any SCT Lessee has paid interest on such overdue amount under the applicable Property Lease, and, to the extent VRLP and any Ventas Lessor each collect interest on the same overdue amount, VRLP shall promptly refund such interest payment to SCT Holdings.

(d) Payment Without Abatement. No abatement, diminution or reduction of any payments required to be made by SCT Holdings hereunder shall be allowed to SCT Holdings or any person claiming under SCT Holdings, under any circumstances or for any reason whatsoever.

5. Assignment, Subletting and Material Contracts.

(a) Transfers Prohibited Without Consent. SCT Holdings shall not, without the prior written consent of VRLP, which consent may be withheld in VRLP’s sole and absolute discretion, in each instance, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer its ownership interest in any SCT Lessee, in whole or in part, or any rights or interest which SCT Holdings may have under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Paragraph 5(a) and except as provided in Paragraph 5(b) below, a change of Control of SCT Holdings shall be deemed to constitute a prohibited sale of an ownership interest in each of the SCT Lessees. If given, the consent of VRLP to any such transfer shall in no event be construed to relieve SCT Holdings or such transferee from the obligation of obtaining the express consent in writing of VRLP to any further transfer. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this Paragraph 5(a) shall be voidable at VRLP’s option.

(b) A Transfer permitted without consent of the applicable Ventas Lessor under Section 24 of the Property Leases shall not constitute a change of Control requiring consent under this Agreement. A change in Control of SCT Holdings to a Family Member, a Controlled Corporation, or a Controlled Trust shall not require VRLP consent so long as (x) following such change of Control, either Barry Reichmann or Paul Reichmann retain Control of SCT Holdings and (y) no later than five (5) Business Days prior to such change of Control, SCT Holdings gives VRLP prior written notice of such change of Control and delivers to Landlord copies of all proposed documents effectuating or relating to such change of Control.

6. Default; Remedies.

(a) Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (defined below), SCT Holdings shall have the affirmative obligation to notify VRLP as soon as it knows of any such event.

(iii) SCT Holdings’ failure to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Agreement (other than any such terms, covenants or conditions referenced in other subparagraphs of this Paragraph 6(a)) if not remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of Notice thereof, or, if such default cannot reasonably be remedied within such

period, SCT Holdings does not within thirty (30) days after Notice thereof commence such act or acts as shall be necessary to remedy the default and shall not thereafter diligently complete such act or acts within a reasonable time, provided, however, in no event shall such cure period extend beyond sixty (60) days after such Notice thereof;

(v) If a Liquidation Event or a Receivership Event occurs with respect to any SCT Lessee or any of SCT Holdings, SC OpCo, Reichmann Guarantor, or any Person directly Controlling SC OpCo, except a Liquidation Event that results from a change of Control permitted under Section 5(b) hereof;

(viii) If any material representation or warranty made by or on behalf of SCT Holdings under this Agreement shall prove to be false or misleading in any material respect on the date when made and the same has a material adverse affect on the financial condition of SCT Holdings or SCT Holdings’ ability to perform under this Agreement or any Lease Guaranty;

(ix) If any material representation or warranty made by or on behalf of SC OpCo under the ARL Guaranty, or by any other guarantor under any Lease Guaranty, the Balanced Care Guaranty, or the Earn-Out Guaranty shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect on the date when made and the same has a material adverse affect on the financial condition of such guarantor or such guarantor’s ability to perform under the applicable guaranty;

(xii) The aggregate number of licensed beds for all Facilities is reduced below the Minimum Aggregate Licensed Bed Threshold;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Paragraph 6(a), neither VRLP nor any Ventas Lessor shall exercise any of the rights and remedies set forth in Paragraph 6(b) hereof or in Section 17.2, Section 17.3, or Section 17.4 of the Property Leases with respect to any Event of Default if and to the extent that the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall require the prior consent of any Facility Mortgagee of any Ventas Lessor or shall cause a default under any Facility Mortgage of any Ventas Lessor and such consent shall not have been obtained or such default shall not have been waived; provided, that VRLP and each Ventas Lessor shall nonetheless have all other rights and remedies available to them under this Agreement, the Property Leases, the other Lease Documents and the Transaction Documents applicable during an Event of Default (subject to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 6(e) hereof).

(b) Remedies. If any of the Events of Default hereinabove specified shall occur and be continuing, VRLP shall have and may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any rights and remedies that may be available to any of the Ventas Lessors under the Property Leases, if the facts creating such Event of Default also create an Event of Default (as defined in the Property Leases) under the applicable Property Lease(s):

(i) With respect to any Property Lease(s) and any Event(s) of Default thereunder, VRLP may cause and direct the applicable Ventas Lessor(s) to terminate the applicable Property Lease(s) and, peaceably or pursuant to appropriate legal proceedings, re-enter, retake and resume possession of the applicable Facility(ies) and/or pursue any other remedies set forth in the Property Leases or available at law or equity.

(ii) If SCT Holdings defaults in its obligation under Paragraph 4(a) to fund SCT Rent Payments to the applicable SCT Lessee and to cause the applicable SCT Lessee to pay such amount to the applicable Ventas Lessor as rent under the applicable Property Lease, then VRLP or the applicable Ventas Lessor may recover immediately from SCT Holdings any and all SCT Rent Payments and other sums and damages due or in existence at the time of such Event of Default, including, without limitation, the Master Rent agreed and/or required to be paid by SCT Holdings to the applicable Ventas Lessor(s) hereunder, and all other sums, charges, payments, costs and expenses agreed and/or required to be paid by SCT Holdings to VRLP and/or the Ventas Lessor(s) hereunder, in each case, with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate provided herein without in any way offsetting or limiting any and all obligations of the SCT Lessees to pay rent under their respective Property Leases. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, solely with regard to any unpaid SCT Rent Payments payable on account of any Leased Property located in Pennsylvania, SCT Holdings hereby authorizes and empowers any prothonotary or any attorney of any court of record to appear for SCT Holdings, without incurring liability to SCT Holdings for so doing, in any and all actions which may be brought for unpaid SCT Rent Payments and to confess judgment against SCT Holdings for all or any part of said unpaid SCT Rent Payments, including, without limitation, for interest and costs, together with a reasonable attorney’s commission for collection of not less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), for which this Agreement shall be his sufficient warrant. Such authority shall not be exhausted by any one or more exercises thereof, but judgment may be confessed as aforesaid from time to time as often as any such default shall have occurred or be continuing. In any confession of judgment against SCT Holdings hereunder, VRLP and the applicable Ventas Lessor shall cause to be filed in such action an affidavit setting forth the facts necessary to authorize the entry of judgment and if a true copy of this Agreement (and of the truth of the copy, such affidavit shall be sufficient proof)

be filed in such action, it shall not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney, notwithstanding any law, rule of court, custom or practice to the contrary. SCT Holdings releases to VRLP and the applicable Ventas Lessor, and to any and all attorneys who may appear for SCT Holdings, all procedural errors in any proceedings taken by VRLP and the applicable Ventas Lessor, whether by virtue of the power of attorney contained in this Agreement or not, and all liability therefor.

(iii) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

(iv) VRLP may, at its option, on behalf of the Ventas Lessors, without causing or directing any of the Ventas Lessors to re-enter, retake or resume possession of the applicable Facility(ies), require SCT Holdings to pay to VRLP as liquidated damages with respect to Master Rent for all of the Leased Properties (or the Terminated Lease Properties in the event of any Limited Termination Election), either:

(A) each installment of Master Rent and other sums payable hereunder and under the Property Leases (or such Master Rent and other sums as to any Terminated Lease Properties in the event of any Limited Termination Election) as the same become due and payable, to the extent that such Master Rent and other sums exceed the rent and other sums actually collected by the applicable Ventas Lessor for the corresponding period pursuant to any reletting (without, subject to Paragraph 6(d) below, any obligation or deemed obligation on the part of VRLP or the applicable Ventas Lessor to mitigate damages) of the Facilities (or the Terminated Lease Properties in the event of a Limited Termination Election); or

(B) the sum of: (1) the unpaid Master Rent that had been earned at the time of the occurrence of the applicable Event of Default (or the unpaid Master Rent as to the Terminated Lease Properties in the event of a Limited Termination Election), which Master Rent shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date of such Event of Default until paid; and (2) the then net present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Prime Rate) of the amount of unpaid Master Rent (or the unpaid Master Rent as to the Terminated Lease Properties in the event of a Limited Termination Election) for the balance of the Term not previously collected pursuant to clause (A) above following the date of such Event of Default (excluding, however, any period following an Event of Default on account of which VRLP or the applicable Ventas Lessor(s) previously collected Master Rent pursuant to clause (A) above) without, subject to Paragraph 6(d) below, any obligation or deemed obligation on the part of VRLP or the applicable Ventas Lessor to mitigate damages.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that VRLP or any Ventas Lessor elects to collect damages pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B) above, VRLP or any such Ventas Lessor may subsequently elect to collect damages pursuant to the other of clause (A) and clause (B) above, in each case so long as VRLP or any such Ventas Lessor does not collect, and provided that VRLP or any such Ventas Lessor may not collect, any

damages pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B) above, as applicable, with respect to any period as to which VRLP or any such Ventas Lessor has theretofore actually collected damages from SCT Holdings or the SCT Lessees pursuant to the other of clause (A) and clause (B) above, as applicable. In case of any Event of Default, VRLP or an applicable Ventas Lessor may, with or without terminating any Property Lease, (x) relet any or all of the Facilities or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of any Ventas Lessor or otherwise, for a term or terms that may, at VRLP’s or the applicable Ventas Lessor’s option, be equal to, less than or exceed the period that would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that VRLP or the applicable Ventas Lessor considers advisable or necessary to relet the same, and (y) make such reasonable alterations, repairs and decorations in the applicable Facility(ies) or any portion thereof as VRLP or the applicable Ventas Lessor, in its sole judgment, considers advisable or necessary for the purpose of reletting the applicable Facility(ies); and such reletting and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee from liability hereunder as aforesaid or under the Property Leases or under any other Lease Documents. VRLP and the Ventas Lessors shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet any Facility, or, in the event that any Facility is relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SCT Holdings and each SCT Lessee hereby expressly waive any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of any SCT Lessee’s being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of VRLP’s’ or any Ventas Lessor’s obtaining possession of any Facility, by reason of the violation by SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee of any of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement or any Property Lease or any other Event of Default (and each SCT Lessee acknowledges such waiver by its signature to this Agreement).

(v) VRLP may pursue its rights and remedies against SC OpCo under the ARL Guaranty.

(c) Remedies Not Exclusive. In addition to the rights and remedies hereinabove specified and enumerated, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, VRLP shall have and may exercise such other rights and remedies as are available at law or in equity, and the mention in this Agreement of any particular right or remedy shall not preclude VRLP from having or exercising any other right or remedy at law or in equity. So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nothing herein contained shall be construed as precluding VRLP from having or exercising such lawful rights or remedies as may be or become necessary in order to preserve its rights and remedies hereunder, even before the expiration of any notice periods provided for in this Agreement if, under the particular circumstances then existing, the allowance of such notice periods will result in the termination of the ownership interests of any of the Ventas Lessors in any of the Facilities. In addition, with respect to any Property Lease under which an Event of Default (as defined thereunder) has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Ventas Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies under the applicable Property Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall VRLP and any Ventas Lessor have the right, by exercise of their respective remedies under this Agreement and/or the applicable Property Lease, to double recovery of any amounts, including, without limitation, Rent (as defined in the Property Leases) or any interest thereon.

(d) Waiver; Mitigation; Limitation on Certain SCT Holdings and SCT Lessee Remedies. If any Property Lease or this Agreement is terminated by VRLP or any Ventas Lessor, as applicable, pursuant to this Paragraph 6, whether in whole or, in the case of any Limited Termination Election, in part, SCT Holdings and each SCT Lessee each waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession, (ii) any right to a trial by jury in the event of proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Paragraph 6, and (iii) the benefit of any moratorium laws or any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt. In addition, SCT Holdings and each SCT Lessee each waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (x) any duty on the part of VRLP or any Ventas Lessor to mitigate the damages recoverable from SCT Holdings or the SCT Lessees on account of any breach or Event of Default by SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Property Lease, VRLP and each Ventas Lessor agree to comply with any non-waivable duty to mitigate the aforesaid damages that may be imposed by applicable law, and (y) the right to interpose any counterclaim (other than compulsory counterclaims) in any summary proceeding instituted by VRLP or any Ventas Lessor against SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee in any court or in any action instituted by VRLP or any Ventas Lessor in any court for unpaid Rent under the Property Leases. In the event that SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee claims or asserts that VRLP or any Ventas Lessor has violated or failed to perform a covenant of VRLP or any Ventas Lessor not to unreasonably withhold, delay or condition VRLP’ or any Ventas Lessor’s consent or approval hereunder or under any Property Lease, if applicable, or in any case where Ventas Holding’s or any Ventas Lessor’s reasonableness in exercising its judgment is in issue, SCT Holdings’ and the SCT Lessees’ sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance, declaratory judgment or injunction, and in no event shall SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee be entitled to any monetary damages for a breach of any such covenant or unreasonable exercise of judgment, and SCT Holdings and the SCT Lessees hereby specifically each waive the right to any monetary damages or other remedies in connection with any such breach or unreasonable exercise of judgment. Without limitation of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Property Lease, SCT Holdings and the SCT Lessees each agree that no breach or default by VRLP hereunder or any Ventas Lessor under any Property Lease shall excuse SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee from performing, or constitute a defense to SCT Holdings’ or any SCT Lessee’s performance of, any duty, liability or obligation it may have under this Agreement or any Property Lease and in no event shall any breach or default by VRLP hereunder or any Ventas Lessor under a Property Lease entitle SCT Holdings to terminate this Agreement or any SCT Lessee to terminate a Property Lease, or entitle SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee to refrain from paying, withhold, or otherwise abate Master Rent or any SCT Rent Payments, in whole or in part.

(e) Twelve-Month Moratorium on Certain Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default solely under Paragraph 6(a)(xviii) hereof or an Event of Default resulting solely from a breach of the covenant relating to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in Section 9.1 of the ARL Guaranty, in each case, during the first twelve (12) months of the Term of this Agreement only, neither VRLP nor any Ventas Lessor shall exercise any of the rights and remedies set forth in Paragraph 6(b) hereof or in Section 17.2, Section 17.3, or Section 17.4 of the Property Leases during such twelve (12) month period. During such twelve (12) month period, VRLP and each

32. Security Deposit/Letter of Credit.

(a) Security Deposit/Letter of Credit. SCT Holdings shall, upon the execution of this Agreement by SCT Holdings, either (i) cause to be deposited with VRLP cash in the amount of the Security Amount (the “Security Deposit”), or (ii) subject to Paragraph 32(f), cause to be delivered to VRLP a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued in favor of VRLP in the amount of the Security Amount, as security for the performance and observance by SCT Holdings of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and as security for the performance and observance by each of the SCT Lessees of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Property Leases and this Agreement, including, without limitation, the surrender of possession of the Facilities by the SCT Lessees as provided in the Property Leases and/or under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, VRLP may draw upon the Letter of Credit or apply any portion of the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of any sum as to which SCT Holdings, the SCT Lessee(s) is in default under this Agreement, the Property Lease(s) or any other Lease Document to which the applicable Event of Default relates or for any sum which VRLP may have expended or may be required to expend by reason of the occurrence of such Event of Default, including any damages or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by any Ventas Lessor pursuant to any Property Lease or this Agreement. If VRLP draws upon the Letter of Credit and applies or retains any portion or all of the sum received upon such draw, or applies any portion of the Security Deposit, SCT Holdings shall forthwith take such action as is necessary to restore the face amount of the Letter of Credit to the Security Amount or pay any deficiency to VRLP in accordance with Paragraph 32(d) hereof, such that the Letter of Credit or Security Deposit, as applicable, is at all times equal to the Security Amount. If SCT Holdings posts a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms hereof, unless a Facility Mortgagee requires otherwise, the Security Deposit shall be deposited by VRLP in a segregated account of VRLP or with Facility Mortgagee in the sole discretion of VRLP (the “Security Deposit Account”) and shall be invested in Short-Term Treasury Securities selected by VRLP. Within twenty (20) days following the end of each Fiscal Quarter in any Lease Year, (A) VRLP shall pay to SCT Holdings the interest accrued in the Security Deposit Account with respect to such quarter (the “Security Deposit Interest”) provided, that if the Security Deposit Account is held by a Facility Mortgagee, then the Security Deposit Interest shall be the net interest relating to the Security Deposit Account that Facility Mortgagee pays to VRLP, and (B) SCT Holdings shall pay to VRLP a quarterly administration fee in respect of such Fiscal Quarter in the amount of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) (the “Security Deposit Administration Fee”). VRLP may offset against any payment of Security Deposit Interest the amount of any Security Deposit Administration Fee due in any such quarter or preceding quarter. The Security Deposit Interest and Security Deposit Administration Fee shall be prorated accordingly with respect to any partial calendar quarter occurring during the Term.

(b) Letter of Credit Requirements. The Letter of Credit shall be an irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit with an initial term of not less than one year from the Commencement Date of this Agreement. Without further act or instrument required by VRLP, the Letter of Credit shall be automatically renewed for successive one year periods throughout the remainder of the Term unless, not less than 30 days prior to the then current expiration date of the Letter of Credit, the issuing bank notifies VRLP of its intention not to renew the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit (or any renewal, extension or replacement thereof) shall continue in full force and effect and shall be maintained in its full face amount for two full calendar months beyond the expiration of the Term of this Agreement (including any extension of the Term hereof). The Letter of Credit shall (i) be negotiable and freely transferable in connection with a sale or transfer of the Facilities or the interests in the Ventas Lessors; (ii) be issued by a national banking association reasonably acceptable to VRLP; (iii) provide for payment of all or any portion of the face amount of the Letter of Credit to VRLP upon the receipt by the issuing bank of a statement signed by a representative of VRLP that VRLP is drawing such amount under this Agreement (with the original or a copy of the Letter of Credit attached and no other documentation required); and (iv) be otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to VRLP. VRLP’s’ receipt of notice from the issuing bank of its intention not to renew the Letter of Credit or SCT Holdings’ failure to deliver a renewal or replacement Letter of Credit shall entitle VRLP to draw the full face amount of the Letter of Credit and retain such sum as a Security Deposit hereunder in lieu of the Letter of Credit. SCT Holdings’ failure to maintain the Letter of Credit or to provide VRLP with a replacement Letter of Credit or a Security Deposit, in each case, meeting the requirements hereof, on or prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day prior to the then current expiration date of any Letter of Credit shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(i) Beginning on the third anniversary of the date hereof, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder or under the other Lease Documents or Transaction Documents, if the Facilities maintain a Portfolio Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.00 on an aggregate basis for six (6) consecutive months, the Security Amount shall be reduced to an amount equal to three (3) months of aggregate Base Rent, as of the date thereof, under the Property Leases, and VRLP shall, as applicable, (A) cause the applicable excess amount of the Security Deposit to be promptly returned to the party entitled thereto or (B) cooperate with SCT Holdings to allow it to replace the Letter of Credit, or cause a reduction in the face amount of the Letter of Credit, such that the face amount of the replaced or reduced Letter of Credit shall be equal to three (3) months of aggregate Base Rent, as of the date thereof, under the Property Leases. If, following a decrease of the Security Amount pursuant to the preceding sentence, either an Event of Default occurs hereunder or the Portfolio Coverage Ratio for any three consecutive calendar months is less than 1.25 to 1.00, then the Security Amount shall be increased to an amount equal to six (6) months of aggregate Base Rent, as of the date thereof, under the Property Leases, and SCT Holdings shall, within five (5) days thereafter, replenish the Security Deposit or cause an increase in the face amount of the Letter of Credit accordingly, as applicable.

(ii) Beginning on the third anniversary of the date hereof, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder or under the other Lease Documents or Transaction Documents, if the Facilities maintain a Portfolio Coverage Ratio equal to or greater

than 1.50 to 1.00 on an aggregate basis for six (6) consecutive months, the Security Amount shall be reduced to an amount equal to one (1) month of aggregate Base Rent, as of the date thereof, under the Property Leases, and VRLP shall, as applicable, (A) cause the applicable excess amount of the Security Deposit to be promptly returned to SCT Holdings or (B) cooperate with SCT Holdings, to allow it to replace the Letter of Credit, or cause a reduction in the face amount of the Letter of Credit, such that the face amount of the replaced or reduced Letter of Credit shall be equal to one (1) month of aggregate Base Rent, as of the date thereof, under the Property Leases. If, following a decrease of the Security Amount pursuant to the preceding sentence, either an Event of Default occurs hereunder or the Portfolio Coverage Ratio for any three consecutive calendar months is less than 1.25 to 1.00, then the Security Amount shall be increased to an amount equal to six (6) months of aggregate Base Rent, as of the date thereof, under the Property Leases and SCT Holdings shall, within five (5) days thereafter, replenish the Security Deposit or cause an increase in the face amount of the Letter of Credit accordingly, as applicable. If, following a decrease of the Security Amount pursuant to the first sentence in this subsection (ii), the Portfolio Coverage Ratio for any three consecutive calendar months is less than 1.50 to 1.00 but equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default has occurred within such three (3) month period, then the Security Amount shall be increased to an amount equal to three (3) months of aggregate Base Rent, as of the date thereof, under the Property Leases and SCT Holdings shall within five (5) days thereafter, replenish the Security Deposit or cause an increase in the face amount of the Letter of Credit accordingly, as applicable.

(d) Base Rent Increases; Restoration of Security Amount. In addition to any changes in the Security Amount as provided in Paragraph 32(c) above, SCT Holdings, within five (5) days after any increase in Base Rent hereunder, shall deposit with VRLP cash in, or, if SCT Holdings has chosen to post a Letter of Credit pursuant to Paragraph 32(a), increase the face amount of the Letter of Credit by, the amount necessary to ensure that the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, as applicable, hereunder continues to be equal to six (6) months of aggregate Base Rent under the Property Leases, or three (3) months or one (1) month, of aggregate Base Rent under the Property Leases, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 32(c) hereof. If SCT Holdings fails to provide VRLP with a replacement Letter of Credit that complies with the requirements of this Paragraph 32 on or prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day before the applicable expiration date of the Letter of Credit, then VRLP may draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit and retain the proceeds thereof as security for and payment in respect of the amounts due under this Agreement and the Property Leases. In the event the Security Deposit (or any portion thereof) is applied (or drawn upon from time to time in full or partial amounts in the case of the Letter of Credit and any renewals or replacements thereof) by VRLP on account of any Event(s) of Default or in accordance with the preceding sentence or Paragraph 32(a), SCT Holdings shall replenish said Security Deposit in full, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, by paying to VRLP the amount so applied or, in the case of the Letter of Credit, restoring the Letter of Credit to its full Security Amount and, in the case of a Letter of Credit, if SCT Holdings fails to so restore, then VRLP may present the Letter of Credit for payment in part or in full and retain the proceeds thereof as security for and payment in respect of the amounts due under this Agreement and the Property Leases. SCT Holdings’ failure to timely replenish and restore the Security Deposit or the Letter of Credit, as applicable, as aforesaid shall be an Event of Default. If: (i) no Event of Default or Major Management Termination Event has occurred hereunder or under the Property Leases and (ii) SCT Holdings and the SCT Lessees have fully performed and satisfied all of their obligations under the Lease Documents, then the Security Deposit, or the remaining

unapplied portion thereof, shall be paid or returned to SCT Holdings, or, in the case of the Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to SCT Holdings, in each case, within sixty (60) days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the surrender of the Facilities to VRLP and its Affiliates in the condition required pursuant to the Property Leases; provided, however, that VRLP may retain an amount, as it shall reasonably determine, to secure the payment of any Master Rent or other amounts due under the Lease Documents, the amount of which VRLP is then unable to determine finally (and VRLP shall return any such retained amount to SCT Holdings promptly following the final determination of such Master Rent and other amounts and the full payment to VRLP of such Master Rent and other amounts). The Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, as applicable, shall not be deemed an advance payment of Master Rent or a measure of VRLP’s or any Ventas Lessor’s damages for any default hereunder or under the Property Leases or other Lease Documents by SCT Holdings or any of its Affiliates, nor shall it be a bar or defense to any action that VRLP or any Ventas Lessor may at any time commence against SCT Holdings or any of its Affiliates.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 32, the Security Amount under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the Maximum Security Amount. If at any time the Security Amount as calculated pursuant to this Paragraph 32 exceeds the Maximum Security Amount, then the Security Amount shall be deemed to be the Maximum Security Amount.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 32, if SCT Holdings has delivered a Letter of Credit to VRLP pursuant to Paragraph 32(a) hereof, then on or prior to the date that is two (2) years prior to the Expiration Date of the Initial Term, SCT Holdings shall deposit with VRLP an amount equal to one month of the then current Base Rent, which VRLP shall hold as a partial Security Deposit in accordance with Paragraph 32(a) hereof (the “Partial Security Deposit”) and which shall constitute a Security Deposit for purposes of this Agreement. Following such deposit of the Partial Security Deposit, SCT Holdings shall be permitted to reduce the face amount of the Letter of Credit by an amount equal to the Partial Security Deposit, provided that (1) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit and the Partial Security Amount during the Term shall in no event be less than the Security Amount and (2) the Partial Security Deposit during the Term shall in no event be less than one month of Base Rent at any time, and (3) SCT Holdings shall otherwise comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 32.

33. Public Offering/Filing Information. SCT Holdings specifically agrees that VRLP may include financial statements and other information concerning SCT Holdings, the SCT Lessees, SC OpCo and the operation of the Facilities that does not violate the confidentiality of the facility-resident relationship and the physician-resident privilege under applicable laws, in offering memoranda or prospectuses, or similar publications in connection with syndications, private placements or public offerings of VRLP’s (or any VRLP’s’ Parent’s) securities or interests, and in any registration statement, report or other document permitted or required to be filed under applicable federal and state laws, including those of any successor to VRLP. SCT Holdings agrees to provide such other reasonable information with respect to SCT Holdings, the SCT Lessees, SC OpCo and the Facilities that may be necessary or appropriate to facilitate a private placement or public offering or to satisfy the SEC or regulatory disclosure requirements. SCT Holdings agrees to cause its independent auditors, at VRLP’s cost, to consent, in a timely manner, to the inclusion of their audit report issued with respect to such financial statements in

any registration statement or other filing under federal and state laws and to provide the underwriters participating in any offering of securities or interests of VRLP (or any VRLP’s Parent) with a standard accountant’s “comfort” letter with regard to the financial information of SCT Holdings, the SCT Lessees or SC OpCo included or incorporated by reference into any prospectus or other offering document. SCT Holdings also agrees to make available to any underwriter participating in an offering of VRLP’s (or VRLP’s Parent’s) securities or interests, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by an underwriter (such underwriter and other persons and entities, individually and collectively, an “Inspector”), all financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of SCT Holdings, the SCT Lessees or SC OpCo as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause SCT Holdings’, SC OpCo’s and each SCT Lessee’s directors, officers and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such offering. Prior to submission or circulation of any such offering memoranda, prospectuses or similar publications, VRLP shall provide to SCT Holdings copies of such documents for the purpose of reviewing same. Upon request of VRLP, SCT Holdings shall notify VRLP of any necessary corrections to information VRLP (or any VRLP’s Parent) proposes to publish within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed three (3) Business Days) after being informed thereof by VRLP. Without limiting the foregoing, SCT Holdings shall provide or cause to be provided to VRLP such documents, records, information, and assistance and take such actions, in each case as required under this Paragraph 33, promptly and in any event within such time periods to permit VRLP (or any VRLP’s Parent) to make all filings required by the SEC or any other Governmental Authority in a timely fashion under applicable laws. VRLP shall reimburse SCT Holdings for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its compliance with this Paragraph 33.

34. Indemnity

With the exception of the defense of prior payment, performance, or compliance by SCT Holdings or Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations which Guarantor is called upon to pay, or the defense that VRLP’s claim against Guarantor hereunder is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, all defenses of the law of guaranty or suretyship, including, without limitation, substantive defenses and procedural defenses, are waived and released by Guarantor to the extent permitted by law. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, under no circumstances will the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty be terminated either with respect to any period of time when the liability of SCT Holdings under the Agreement Regarding Leases continues, or with respect to any circumstances as to which the Guaranteed Obligations have not been fully discharged by payment, performance or compliance.

SECTION 3 GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. The liability and responsibilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, or deduction and shall not be released, discharged, affected or impaired by (i) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to or departure from, or termination of, the Agreement Regarding Leases or any of the Property Leases, (ii) any release or discharge of SCT Holdings or any SCT Lessee in any bankruptcy, receivership or other similar proceedings, (iii) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of SCT Holdings or the estate of SCT Holdings in bankruptcy or any SCT Lessee or the estate of any SCT Lessee in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of SCT Holdings’s liability under the Agreement Regarding Leases, resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of any bankruptcy code or other statute or from the decision in any court, the rejection or disaffirmance of the Agreement Regarding Leases in any such proceedings, or the assignment or transfer of the Agreement Regarding Leases by SCT Holdings, (iv) any failure, omission or delay on the part of VRLP to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on or available to VRLP in or by the Agreement Regarding Leases or this Guaranty, or any action on the part of VRLP granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever or any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability as to SCT Holdings of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor, (v) the waiver by VRLP of the performance or observance by SCT Holdings or Guarantor of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Agreement Regarding Leases or this Guaranty, (vi) any merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction involving SCT Holdings even if SCT Holdings ceases to exist as a result of (and is not the surviving party in) such transaction, (vii) the inability of VRLP

or SCT Holdings to enforce any provision of the Agreement Regarding Leases for any reason, (viii) any change in the corporate relationship between SCT Holdings and Guarantor or any termination of such relationship, (ix) any change in the ownership of all or any part of the membership interests in SCT Holdings, (x) the inability of SCT Holdings to perform, or the release of SCT Holdings or Guarantor from the performance of, any obligation, agreement, covenant, term or condition under the Agreement Regarding Leases or this Guaranty by reason of any law, regulation or decree, now or hereafter in effect, (xi) any merger of the leasehold estate of any SCT Lessee with the fee estate or any other estate in any facility or (xii) any disability or other defense of SCT Holdings. VRLP and SCT Holdings, without notice to or consent by Guarantor, may at any time or times enter into such modifications, extensions, amendments, or other covenants with respect to the Agreement Regarding Leases as they may deem appropriate and Guarantor shall not be released thereby, but shall continue to be fully liable for the payment and performance of all liabilities, obligations and duties of SCT Holdings under the Agreement Regarding Leases as so modified, extended or amended.

SECTION 4 REINSTATEMENT. Guarantor further agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment applied to any of the Guaranteed Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Guarantor), such Guaranteed Obligations shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Guaranteed Obligations, all as though such application had not been made.

VRLP may, from time to time, at its discretion and without notice to Guarantor, take any or all of the following actions: (a) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to Guarantor, with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) extend or renew for one or more periods (regardless of whether longer than the original period), or release or compromise any obligation of Guarantor hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor (including, without limitation, SCT Holdings) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (c) release or fail to perfect any lien upon or security interest in, or impair, surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, all or any part of any property securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (regardless of whether longer than the original period) or release or compromise any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property.
