EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this Amendment or Form 10-K/A) amends our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 that was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 1, 2011 (the Original Filing). We are filing this
Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not included in the Original Filing,
as we will not file our definitive proxy statement within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year
ended December 31, 2010. Because of our pending merger with Ventas, Inc. (Ventas), we have
postponed our annual meeting of stockholders. If our merger with Ventas is completed as expected
in the third quarter of 2011, then we will not hold an annual meeting of stockholders because we
will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ventas. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item
15 of Part IV of the Original Filing has been amended to contain currently dated certifications
from our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Portfolio Officer, as
required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to this Form
10-K/A. The currently dated certifications of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial and Portfolio Officer are attached to this Form 10-K/A as Exhibits 31 and 32.
Except as set forth in Part III below, no other changes are made to the Original Filing other
than the deletion of the reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by
reference of Nationwide Health Properties, Inc.s definitive proxy statement into Part III of the
Original Filing. Unless expressly stated, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after
the date of the Original Filing, nor does it modify or update in any way the disclosures contained
in the Original Filing.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board has adopted a Business Code of Conduct & Ethics, which applies to all employees,

Code of Conduct & Ethics describes the Companys policies and standards for protecting the
Companys integrity and provides guidance to the Companys employees, officers and directors in
recognizing and properly resolving any ethical and legal issues that may be encountered while
conducting the Companys business. The Companys Business Code of Conduct & Ethics provides that
no director or officer of the Company shall act on behalf of the Company as a principal in any
transaction with a supplier, competitor or customer in which an affiliate of such director or
officer is a principal, officer or representative in such transaction, without prior approval of
the Audit Committee. It is the policy of the Audit Committee to review the terms and substance of
any potential related party transaction generally and for purposes of determining whether a waiver
to the Business Code of Conduct & Ethics should be granted. There have been no waivers of the
Business Code of Conduct & Ethics. The Business Code of Conduct & Ethics is posted on our website
at www.nhp-reit.com. In addition, stockholders may request free printed copies of the

Item 11. |
|
Executive Compensation. |
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This section contains a discussion of the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned
by or paid to the principal executive and principal financial officers of the Company (Douglas M.
Pasquale and Abdo H. Khoury, respectively), and the other executive officer of the Company (Donald
D. Bradley). These individuals are referred to as the Named Officers in this report.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Companys current executive compensation programs are determined and approved by the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the Compensation Committee). None of the Named Officers are
members of the Compensation Committee. The Companys Chief Executive Officer, Douglas M. Pasquale,
recommends to the Compensation Committee the base salary, annual bonus and long-term compensation
levels for other Named Officers. In addition, Mr. Pasquale generally attends Compensation
Committee meetings (except when such meetings are in executive session). However, Mr. Pasquale
does not participate in discussions regarding his own compensation, which is entirely determined by
the members of the Compensation Committee. None of the other Named Officers had any role in
determining the compensation of other Named Officers.
4
Executive Compensation Program Objectives and Overview
The Companys current executive compensation programs are intended to achieve three
fundamental objectives: (1) market competitiveness to attract and retain qualified executives; (2)
pay for performance, including the recognition of exceptional individual performance, to motivate
and direct executives efforts toward superior company and individual results measured over
appropriate short- and long-term periods; and (3) alignment of
executives interests to those of our stockholders, and where reasonably practicable, tied to
variables that management can control. In structuring our current executive compensation programs,
we are guided by the following basic philosophies:
|
|
|
Competition. Compensation should be market-derived and market-driven so that we can
attract, retain and motivate qualified executives. |
|
|
|
Multi-Year Focus. Some portion of the total compensation package should have a
multi-year focus. |
|
|
|
Alignment with Stockholder Interests. Compensation should have substantial linkage
to stockholder interest and, where reasonably practicable, should be tied to variables
that management can control. |
|
|
|
Retention. Compensation should encourage appropriate executive retention. |
|
|
|
Risk Management. Compensation should not encourage excessive risk-taking behavior. |
|
|
|
Individual Performance. Compensation should be tied to individual performance and
recognize exceptional individual performance. |
As described in more detail below, the material elements of our current executive compensation
program for Named Officers consist of a base salary, an annual bonus opportunity, a long-term
equity incentive opportunity, 401(k) retirement benefits, the ability to receive compensation on a
deferred basis (with partial matching contributions and investment earnings), and severance
protection for certain actual or constructive terminations of the Named Officers employment.
We believe that each element of our executive compensation program helps us to achieve one or
more of our compensation objectives. The table below lists each material element of our executive
compensation program and the compensation objective or objectives that it is designed to achieve.

In 2010, the Compensation Committee again retained FW Cook & Co. as its independent
compensation consultant to review and identify appropriate peer group companies, to obtain and
evaluate current executive compensation data for the peer companies, to make recommendations
regarding the base salary, bonus levels and long-term incentive awards of Named Officers for 2010
in light of compensation data for the peers, and to support the Companys future financial and
strategic performance objectives.

Based on the recommendations of FW Cook & Co., the Compensation Committee approved the

As of December 31, 2010. |
We use competitive data as a guide in determining our executives pay levels. Comparative
analysis is provided by FW Cook & Co. based on compensation data from the peer group.
Competitive benchmarks were developed for base salary, annual incentives (both target and
actual), total cash compensation (both target and actual), target annual long-term incentive
values, target total direct compensation (target total cash compensation plus target annual
long-term incentive values), and actual total direct compensation (actual total cash compensation
plus target annual long-term incentive values). Individual executives may be high or low in
relation to the market based on individual performance, experience, promotability, impact on
Company results, and importance of retention.
The Company looks at the positioning for each compensation element relative to the competitive
benchmarks for each Named Officer. This information is contained in the table below.

Consistent with the Companys compensation philosophy that total compensation should have a
substantial linkage to stockholder interests, base salary for Named Officers in 2010 comprised a
relatively low percentage of total compensation (approximately 14% for the Chief Executive Officer,
and approximately 23% for Named Officers at the Executive Vice President level (Messrs. Khoury and
Bradley)). Bonuses for Named Officers in 2010,
which, as described below, were determined based on Company, business unit and individual
performance, comprised a relatively larger percentage (between approximately 24% and 31%) of total
compensation. The Company believes this allocation of base salary and bonus in proportion to total
compensation is consistent with market practice and in line with the Companys previously stated
pay objectives and philosophy.

Current Named Officers Compensation Program Elements
Base Salaries
Like most companies, our policy is to pay Named Officers base salaries in cash. To
accommodate any Named Officers who may prefer to receive all or a portion of their base salaries on
a deferred basis, we currently offer them the opportunity to electively defer the receipt of up to
100% of their base salaries under the Companys Deferred Compensation Plan described in the
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan section below.
During its review of base salaries for Named Officers in 2010, the Compensation Committee
primarily considered:
|
|
|
competitive benchmark data provided by FW Cook & Co.; |
|
|
|
each Named Officers duties and responsibilities relative to peer companies and
other executives internally; |
|
|
|
the CEOs recommendation for Named Officers other than himself; and |
|
|
|
the individual performance, experience, promotability, impact on results, and
importance of retaining each of the Named Officers. |
Base salary levels for the executive officers are considered annually by the Compensation
Committee as part of the performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other major
change in job responsibility. Based on market data provided by FW Cook & Co., the Compensation
Committee increased the 2010 base salaries for the Named Officers by 15% to 17% to reflect changes
in the benchmarks (due to general market movement and a revised peer group that better represents
the Companys larger size). The resulting base salaries for Messrs. Pasquale, Khoury and Bradley
approximate the market median for salary.
Annual Bonuses
The Companys normal policy is to pay any annual bonuses earned by the Named Officers in cash.
To accommodate Named Officers who may prefer to receive all or a portion of their earned bonuses
on a deferred basis, we offer them the ability to electively defer up to 100% of the earned annual
bonus amounts under the Deferred Compensation Plan described in the Non-Qualified Deferred
Compensation Plan section below.
As previously stated, the Compensation Committee believes that compensation should be linked
to stockholder interests, and where reasonably practical, should be tied to variables that
management can control. Compensation also should reflect measurable individual performance, reward
exceptional individual achievements and support risk management efforts. Consistent with these
principles, each Named Officer is eligible for an annual bonus based on the achievement of the
performance criteria that we believe are the most determinative of the individual Named Officers
performance during the year and support the Companys business objectives. The performance
criteria that are used as guidelines for determining a Named Officers annual bonus fall into one
or more of the following three categories: (1) a corporate performance component (with specific
factors consisting of funds from operations (FFO) growth, return on investment, acquisition
achievements, portfolio management, capital structure and capital cost); (2) a business
unit/function component for executives with these responsibilities; and (3) an individual
performance component (with specific factors including quality of work, teamwork and professional
development). The Compensation Committee believes the specific factors of the corporate
performance component are the primary factors that drive the Companys business, especially FFO
growth. The factors the Compensation Committee considers for Mr. Khourys business unit/function
component consist of internal controls, reporting and audit issues, capital availability and cost
of capital, strength of balance sheet and liquidity position, and portfolio management based on
maximizing returns and minimizing risks on our assets. FFO for this purpose is determined
in accordance with the adjustments set forth on page 56 of the Original Filing. The factors
the Compensation Committee considers for Mr. Bradleys business unit/function component consist of
quantity and quality of investments, the returns generated by the investments on a current year and
full year basis, financial performance of previous years investments, investment diversification,
and return on invested capital. To align the Named Officers interests with those of the Companys
stockholders, substantial emphasis is placed upon corporate factors. Because Mr. Pasquale is
responsible for the performance of the entire Company, he is not assigned a performance
unit/function component. Annual bonuses for the other Named Officers are determined based on
analysis related to corporate, business unit/function and individual performance objectives.
7
The Compensation Committee is responsible for evaluating each of these three components in
determining the annual bonus for each Named Officer. The bonus policy does not require a minimum
percentage of completion in order for employees to be awarded a bonus, and is not based on
pre-determined targets, numerical thresholds or funding targets. The Compensation Committee has
sole and absolute discretion in determining whether to award a bonus and the amount of the bonus.
In determining the Named Officers annual bonuses for 2010, the Compensation Committee considered
various Company performance achievements, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
Revenue increase of 14%; |
|
|
|
Rating agency credit upgrade; |
|
|
|
Anticipation and adaptation to rapidly changing market; |
|
|
|
Strength of balance sheet; and |
In determining the appropriate target annual bonus opportunity for the Named Officers in 2010,
the Compensation Committee considered (1) the target and actual annual incentives awarded to
comparable executives at our peer group companies, in line with our policy of providing
market-derived and market-driven compensation; (2) FW Cook & Co.s recommendations; and (3) a
subjective determination of the Named Officers expected contributions to the Company. Mr.
Pasquales recommendations were also considered in determining 2010 target bonus opportunities for
the other Named Officers. For 2010, the Compensation Committee determined the appropriate target
annual bonus opportunity for the CEO to be 130% of base salary (up to a maximum of 260% of base
salary), which was increased from a target of 110% in 2009. For the Named Officers at the
Executive Vice President level (Messrs. Khoury and Bradley), the Compensation Committee determined
the appropriate target annual bonus opportunity to be 100% of base salary (up to a maximum of 200%
of base salary), which was increased from a target of 85% in 2009. Target bonus opportunities, as
a percent of salary, differ by Named Officer as a function of market levels and individual
responsibility.
The Company does not maintain any specific financial performance targets associated with our
incentive compensation. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee did not assign any particular
weight to any single measure of Company or individual performance in order to determine the annual
bonuses of the Named Officers.
For each Named Officer, the specific awards disclosed below relate, in part, to overall
Company performance achievements as previously disclosed in this report. In addition to the
Company performance achievements, the Compensation Committee reviewed the business unit/function
performances for Messrs. Khoury and Bradley. Specifically, the Compensation Committee reviewed the
following accomplishments achieved by Mr. Khoury during 2010:
|
|
|
Raised approximately $340 million of equity through the at-the-market equity program
at an average price of $37.04; |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Effective debt management resulting in a reduction of approximately $5 million of
interest expense through appropriate debt prepayments; |

opportunities; |
|
|
|
Continued key role in Pacific Medical Buildings relationship; and |
|
|
|
Provided support and advocacy on portfolio management projects for existing tenant
base as well as significant and troubled tenants. |
In determining Mr. Bradleys business unit/function performance, the Compensation Committee
reviewed the following accomplishments achieved by Mr. Bradley during 2010:
|
|
|
Considered several billion dollars in potential investments and completed more than
$900 million of investments in 2010 at a blended initial yield of 8.7%; |
|
|
|

|
|
|

base as well as significant and troubled tenants; and |
|
|
|

Finally, the Compensation Committee reviewed the individual performances of Messrs. Pasquale,
Khoury and Bradley. The Compensation Committee reviewed the following accomplishments achieved by
Mr. Pasquale during 2010:
|
|
|
Favorable annual and multi-year stockholder return performance; |
|
|
|
Development and implementation of strategic plan focusing on growth of core
investments, diversification and a conservative capital structure through strength of
balance sheet and liquidity; |
|
|
|

In determining Mr. Khourys individual performance, the Compensation Committee reviewed the
following accomplishments achieved by Mr. Khoury during 2010:
|
|
|
Active participant in meetings with investors, rating agencies and bankers; and |
|
|
|
Continued improvement in the Companys quarterly analyst supplemental disclosure
information. |
In determining Mr. Bradleys individual performance, the Compensation Committee reviewed the
following accomplishments achieved by Mr. Bradley during 2010:
|
|
|
Active participant in meetings with investors, rating agencies and bankers; and |
|
|
|
|
Maintained tenant relations throughout economic downturn, resulting in increased
acquisition and development opportunities in 2010. |
9
Based on an evaluation of the performance of the Company and each Named Officer in relation to
the applicable strategic goals, in February 2011 the Compensation Committee funded the 2010 annual
incentives at 178%, 104% and 113% of target, respectively, for Mr. Pasquale, Mr. Khoury and Mr.
Bradley.
The appropriate amount of each Named Officers annual bonus earned for 2010 was the amount
reported for such Named Officer in Column (d) of the Summary Compensation Table Calendar 2010.

Long-Term Equity Incentives
Based on the Companys executive compensation objectives and philosophy, Named Officers
long-term compensation should be directly linked to the value provided to our stockholders.
Therefore, based on recommendations from FW Cook & Co., the Compensation Committee has implemented
a long-term incentive program consisting of annual grants of stock options with parallel dividend
rights and performance shares, designed to reward performance for absolute and relative total
stockholder return (TSR). Options represent the right to purchase shares and are valued based on
the increase in stock price, and therefore reward absolute stockholder return. Vesting of the
Companys performance shares is based on the Companys stockholder return as compared to
publicly-traded REITs listed in the NAREIT Index and therefore reward relative stockholder return.
The following is a summary in effect during 2010: Approximately 40% of the Named Officers target
annual long-term incentive compensation is granted in the form of stock options with parallel
dividend rights and the remaining 60% is in the form of performance shares.
Stock Options with Parallel Dividend Rights
Stock options are granted at fair market value, vest one-third per year over three years, and
have a 10-year life. Upon a termination without cause or with good reason in connection with a
change in control, the options accelerate in full. Following a termination due to death,
disability or retirement, the options accelerate and remain exercisable until their normal
expiration dates. Based on the terms of the Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan,
there is single-trigger vesting acceleration at the time of a change in control. For each option
granted, a dividend right is also granted. During the first three years after the option is
granted, in the event that the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its common stock, the
Named Officer will be paid cash equal to the dividend rate times the number of shares for which
dividend rights have been issued. Payment occurs regardless of whether the option has been
exercised, but dividend payments cease upon the third anniversary of the grant date. Following (1)
a termination due to death, disability or retirement; (2) a qualifying termination that occurs in
connection with a change in control; or (3) a change in control if not otherwise assumed or
substituted, the dividend equivalents accelerate and are paid immediately in a lump sum in an
amount equal to (x) the number of remaining dividend payments that would have been payable under
the award if no termination had occurred, multiplied by (y) the number of dividend equivalents
subject to the award, multiplied by (z) the value of the quarterly dividend payment that was most
recently paid prior to the termination. In February 2010, the Compensation Committee awarded the
following number of stock options with three-year dividend equivalents and a per share exercise
price of $31.97 to the Named Officers: Mr. Pasquale (114,200 options), Mr. Khoury (37,600
options), and Mr. Bradley (36,700 options).
Performance Shares
The annual performance share grants are denominated in stock units and vest on December 31 of
the third year following the grant date based on performance measured over the three-year period,
subject to the Named Officers continued employment. Performance shares that become vested will be
paid in an equivalent number of shares of our common stock. Earned awards from grants made in 2010
are based on the Companys three-year TSR compared to the TSR of the companies in the NAREIT Index
as of 12/31/09. Stock prices at the beginning and end
of the performance period are calculated as an average of the closing prices on the preceding
20 consecutive trading days (i.e., 20 trading days prior to 1/1/10 and 1/1/13, respectively).
Earned awards may vary from 50% to 200% of target, with 50% of the target value being provided for
continued employment, similar to restricted stock. If the Companys TSR is negative for the
performance period, the earned award shall never exceed 100%.
10
There are no specific numerical targets associated with the percentages in the right-hand
column of the table below. As described above, the performance shares are earned based on the
Companys three-year TSR during the performance period compared to the TSR of the companies that
comprise the NAREIT index during the same time period. If, at the end of the three-year
performance period, the Companys TSR ranks less than or equal to the 50th percentile of that of
its peer group, the Named Officer will receive 50% of the target number of shares awarded. The
table below lists the percentage of the award the Named Officer is eligible to receive based on the
Companys TSR when such TSR is compared to that of the NAREIT index group.
The performance shares granted in 2010 were granted for a target number of shares covering a
three-year performance period (i.e., the performance period for the shares granted in 2010
commenced on January 1, 2010 and will end on December 31, 2012). Since the three-year performance
periods for such shares have not lapsed, there are no corresponding percentiles that relate to such
shares at this time.
The funding schedule is summarized as follows, with linear interpolation between points for
both performance and percent of target shares earned:

Subject to the terms in Mr. Pasquales
Employment Agreement and Messrs. Khoury and Bradleys
Change in Control Agreements: (1) in the event of termination without cause or with good reason in
connection with a change in control, the vesting of performance
shares is accelerated (as set forth in the table
under Termination without Cause or for Good Reason in Connection
with a Change in Control); (2) in the event of termination due to retirement (for awards issued prior
to December 31, 2009 at age 60 with at least five years of service, and at age 60 with at least ten
years of service for awards issued subsequent to December 31, 2009), performance shares are
eligible for continued vesting, subject to pro-rated payment based on performance for the entire
period as compensation for the period of time worked; (3) in the event of a change in control
absent a termination, vesting of awards is accelerated, with payment determined based on
performance up to the date of the change in control; and (4) in the event of termination due to
death or disability, performance shares are subject to pro-rated payment, with payment determined
based on performance up to the date of termination. In February 2010, the Compensation Committee
awarded the following target number of performance shares to the Named Officers: Mr. Pasquale
(62,300 shares), Mr. Khoury (20,500 shares), and Mr. Bradley (20,000 shares).
401(k) Retirement Benefits
The Company provides retirement benefits to the Named Officers under the terms of its
tax-qualified 401(k) plan. Each year, the Company makes an automatic matching contribution on
behalf of each participant equal to 3% of the participants compensation (regardless of whether the
participant contributes to the plan). In addition, the Company makes an additional matching
contribution on behalf of each participant equal to one-half of the first 6% of compensation,
again, up to the limit in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Internal Revenue
Code or the Code), contributed to the plan by the participant up to the allowable limits under
the Code, which was $16,500 in 2010 ($22,000 for participants age 50 or older). The Named Officers
participate in the plan on substantially the same terms as our other participating employees. The
Company does not maintain any defined benefit plans.
11
Deferred Compensation Opportunities
As mentioned above, Named Officers are currently permitted to electively defer up to 100% of
their salary and annual bonus under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company makes a matching
contribution to the non-qualified plan on behalf of participants equal to the lesser of one-half of
their base salary deferred by the participant under the plan for such year, or 4% of the
participants salary for the same such year. The Company believes that providing the Named
Officers with deferred compensation opportunities is a cost-effective way to permit officers to
receive the tax benefits associated with delaying the income tax event on the compensation
deferred, even though the related deduction for the Company is also deferred. The Company believes
that making a matching contribution to the plan is a cost-effective way to provide an additional
retirement benefit to Named Officers and to encourage enhanced retirement savings through
participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan.
Please see the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Calendar 2010 table and related
narrative section Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan below for a description of the
Companys Deferred Compensation Plan and the benefits thereunder.
Severance and Other Benefits Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control
Consistent with the Chief Executive Officers employment agreement, in the event Mr.
Pasquales employment is terminated during the employment term either by the Company other than for
cause or disability or by Mr. Pasquale for good reason (which includes
a resignation by Mr. Pasquale for any reason during the period six months prior to and three years following
any change in
control of the Company) (as those terms are defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Pasquale
will be entitled to severance. We treat the occurrence of a change in control of the Company as a
good reason for the Chief Executive Officer to be able to terminate (within six months prior to
or three years following the change in control) because our view is that a change in control
transaction results in significant changes in the duties and authorities of the Chief Executive
Officer, and in the composition of the board of directors to which he reports, which may constitute
a constructive termination of employment for the Chief Executive Officer. If the Chief Executive
Officers employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the executive for good
reason, we believe that providing the Chief Executive Officer with cash severance benefits based on
salary, bonus and medical and life insurance benefits as well as all other benefits, for three
years following his actual or constructive termination of employment plus his pro-rata bonus that
he would have earned for the year of termination is consistent with reasonable competitive practice
and provides him with financial security during a period of time when he is likely to be seeking
new employment.
For Named Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, our philosophy is that severance
should only be payable upon certain terminations of employment in connection with a change in
control. We believe that the occurrence, or potential occurrence, of a change in control
transaction will create uncertainty regarding the continued employment of Named Officers. This
uncertainty results from the fact that many change in control transactions result in significant
organizational changes, particularly at the senior executive level. In order to encourage the
Named Officers to remain employed with the Company during an important time when their prospects
for continued employment following the transaction are often uncertain, we provide Named Officers
other than the Chief Executive Officer with severance benefits pursuant to a change in control
agreement if their employment is terminated by us without cause or by the executive for good reason
within six months prior to or three years following a change in control (such a termination is
referred to as a Change in Control Termination in the agreements). We believe that a protected
period of six months prior to, through three years following, a change in control protects Named
Officers from being involuntarily terminated in contemplation of a change in control in order to
avoid severance obligations. We also believe that the Named Officers should receive their change
in control severance benefits if their employment is constructively terminated in connection with a
change in control. Given that none of the Named Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer
has an employment agreement that provides for fixed positions or duties, or for a fixed base salary
or actual or target annual bonus, absent some form of constructive termination severance trigger,
potential acquirers could constructively terminate a Named Officers employment and avoid paying
severance. For example, following a change in control, an acquirer could materially demote a Named
Officer, reduce significantly his salary and/or eliminate his annual bonus opportunity to force the
Named Officer to terminate his own employment and thereby avoid paying severance. Because we
believe that constructive terminations in connection with a change in control are conceptually the
same as actual terminations, and because we believe that acquirers would otherwise have an
incentive to constructively terminate Named Officers to avoid paying severance, the change in
control agreements we have entered into with our Named Officers other than the Chief Executive
Officer permit the Named Officers to terminate their employment in connection with
a change in control for certain good reasons that we believe result, in those circumstances,
in the constructive termination of the Named Officers employment. In the event the employment of
a Named Officer other than the Chief Executive Officer is terminated by the Company in a Change in
Control Termination, we believe that providing these Named Officers with cash severance benefits
based on salary, bonus and medical and life insurance benefits for three years following actual or
constructive termination of employment provides them with financial security during a period of
time when they are likely to be unemployed and seeking new employment.
12
We generally do not believe that Named Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer should
be entitled to severance benefits merely because a change in control transaction occurs. The
payment of severance benefits is generally only triggered by an actual or constructive termination
of employment. However, under the terms of our stock incentive plans, if there is a liquidation,
sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or merger or reorganization that results in a
change in control where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or where it does not survive
as a public company), and in the case of awards under the 1989 Stock Option Plan and the Amended
and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan such outstanding awards will not be continued or
assumed following the transaction, then, unless the award agreements provide otherwise, like all
other employees, Named Officers will receive immediate vesting and/or payout of their outstanding
long-term incentive compensation awards. Although this vesting will occur whether or not a Named
Officers employment terminates, we believe it is appropriate to fully vest equity awards in these
change in control situations because such a transaction may effectively end the Named Officers
ability to realize any further value with respect to the equity awards.
As part of their severance benefits, Named Officers are reimbursed for the full amount of any
excise taxes imposed on their severance payments and any other payments under Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code. We have provided the Named Officers with a gross-up for any parachute
payment excise taxes that may be imposed because we have determined the appropriate level of
severance protections for each Named Officer without factoring in the adverse tax effects on the
Named Officers that may result under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The excise tax
gross-up is intended to make the Named Officers whole for any adverse tax consequences they may
become subject to under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, and to preserve the level of
severance protections that we have determined to be appropriate. The agreements that provide the
excise tax gross-up (for Messrs. Khoury and Bradley, their change in control agreements, and for
Mr. Pasquale, his employment agreement) were not materially amended during 2010 and were first
entered into in 2007 (for Messrs. Khoury and Bradley) and 2003 (for Mr. Pasquale).
Please see the Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control section below for a
description of the potential payments that may be made to the Named Officers in connection with
their termination of employment or a change in control.
Perquisites
The Company provides certain Named Officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that
the Company and the Compensation Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall
compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key
positions. The amounts attributable to such benefits are included under All Other Compensation
column in the Summary Compensation Table.
Claw Back Policy
On February 8, 2010, the Board adopted an Incentive Compensation Repayment Policy, commonly
referred to as a claw back policy. Under the claw back policy, if the Board or an appropriate
committee of the Board determines that an executive officer or other employee engaged in an act of
embezzlement, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty or misconduct during his or her employment that, in
the determination of the Board or such committee, contributed to an obligation to restate the
Companys financial statements, the Board or such committee, in its discretion, will take the
action it deems necessary or appropriate to address the events that gave rise to the embezzlement,
fraud, breach of fiduciary duty or misconduct and to prevent its recurrence. Such action may
include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, requiring partial or full reimbursement of any
bonus paid to the employee. The Board has given the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee
the authority to make determinations under this policy.
13
The remedies that may be sought by the Board or a committee are subject to a number of
conditions, including that: (1) the bonus to be recouped was predicated upon the achievement of
certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement; (2) the employee in
question engaged in conduct that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement; and (3) a
lower payment would have been made to the employee based upon the restated financial results.
Following a restatement of the Companys financial statements, the Company will recover any
compensation received by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that is required
to be recovered by Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any other applicable law or
regulation. In addition, the claw back policy will terminate upon a change in control event, as
defined in the Companys Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan. In order for the
claw back policy to be enforceable, each employee identified by the Board will enter into a consent
agreement with the Company thereby agreeing to the terms of the claw back policy. On March 15,
2010, Messrs. Pasquale, Khoury, Bradley, William Wagner, Roger Laty and Brent Chappell entered into
a consent agreement for the claw back policy to govern any bonuses earned by the Named Officer in
2010 and future years.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
Section 162(m) Policy
The Compensation Committee has considered the anticipated tax treatment to the Company
regarding the compensation and benefits paid to the Named Officers in light of Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code. The basic philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to strive to
provide such Named Officers with a compensation package that will preserve the deductibility of
such payments for the Company. However, certain types of compensation payments and their
deductibility depend upon the timing of a Named Officers vesting or exercise of previously granted
rights. Moreover, interpretations of and changes in the tax laws and other factors beyond the
Compensation Committees control may affect the deductibility of certain compensation payments.
The Compensation Committee will consider various alternatives to preserve the deductibility of
compensation payments and benefits to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent
consistent with its other compensation objectives.
However, the Company believes that, because it qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code and pays dividends sufficient to minimize federal income taxes, the payment of compensation
that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) will generally not affect the Companys
net income. To the extent that compensation does not qualify for deduction under Section 162(m), a
larger portion of stockholder distributions may be subject to federal income taxation as dividend
income rather than return of capital. The Company does not believe that Section 162(m) will
materially affect the taxability of stockholder distributions, although no assurance can be given
in this regard due to the variety of factors that affect the tax position of each stockholder. For
these reasons, the Compensation Committees compensation policy and practices are not entirely
guided by considerations relating to Section 162(m).
Subsequent Compensation Actions
In February 2011, based on market data provided by FW Cook & Co., the Compensation Committee
decided to increase the base salaries for the Named Officers, as follows: Mr. Pasquales base
salary increased to $700,000, Mr. Khourys base salary increased to $396,000 and Mr. Bradleys base
salary increased to $385,000. At this time, the Compensation Committee also maintained target cash
bonus awards (as a percentage of base salary) of 130% (up to a maximum of 260%) for Mr. Pasquale,
and 100% (up to a maximum of 200%) for each of Messrs. Khoury and Bradley.
In addition, the Compensation Committee established the components of long-term compensation.
In part based on recommendations from FW Cook & Co., approximately 33.3% of Mr. Pasquales target
annual long-term incentive compensation value is in the form of stock options with parallel
dividend rights (such dividend rights were granted for a specified time period of three years),
33.3% is in the form of time-vested restricted stock units (RSUs) (which vest ratably over three
years), and 33.3% is in the form of performance shares. The terms of the options and dividend
equivalent rights are consistent with those granted in 2010 (except with respect to change in
control, as described below). The 2011 target performance share value is allocated 50% based on
three-year relative stockholder performance against other REITs (i.e., those comprising the NAREIT
Index as of 12/31/10) and 50% based on the Companys three-year relative stockholder return as
compared to the 16 REITs in the Companys 2011 executive compensation peer group. The performance
shares are designed to reward relative stockholder
return, but additional focus is also placed upon performance relative to the REITs
most similar to the Company.
14
The funding schedule for the 2011 performance shares is
summarized as follows, with linear interpolation between points for both performance and percent of
target shares earned. If the Companys TSR is negative for the performance period, the earned award will never exceed 100%.

In 2011, Mr. Pasquale was awarded
the following ordinary course long-term compensation: 108,900 options with tandem dividend equivalent rights,
32,300 RSUs, and 26,500 performance shares (12,000 based on performance against the constituents of
the NAREIT Index and 14,500 based on performance against the companies in the executive
compensation peer group) under the terms of the Companys Amended and Restated 2005 Performance
Incentive Plan.
If stock options and
time-vested RSUs are not assumed by an acquirer at the time of a change in control, then vesting
will accelerate at the time of the transaction closing. If stock options and RSUs are assumed,
then they will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedules. Vesting will
subsequently accelerate upon a qualifying termination (i.e., due to
death, disability, involuntary termination by the Company without cause, or voluntary termination
with good reason), during the six months prior to and two years following a change in control (which we refer to as the protected period), and unvested shares will be forfeited upon any other termination. If the tandem
dividend equivalent rights are not assumed by the acquirer at the time of a change in control, then
payments will accelerate. If the tandem dividend equivalent rights are assumed, then payments will
continue according to the original terms, with the same provisions for qualifying terminations and
the same protected period as described for the stock options and RSUs granted in 2011.
Performance shares will vest and be paid at the transaction closing at a level equal to the lesser of target (i.e., 100%) or
the percentage earned based on actual achievement for the portion of the performance period
completed, with such number of performance shares pro-rated if the closing occurs during the first two years of the
performance period as follows: (1) if the closing occurs within the first year of the performance
period, then the pro-ration factor is one-third; and (2) if the closing occurs during the second
year of the performance period, then the pro-ration factor is two-thirds.
The February 2011 ordinary course long-term compensation awards granted to Mr. Khoury and Mr. Bradley are provided entirely in the
form of performance shares, with 50% of the 2011 target performance share value based on
performance against the constituents of the NAREIT index and 50% based on the Companys relative
stockholder return as compared to the 16 REITs in the Companys 2011 executive compensation peer
group. Mr. Khoury was awarded 13,000 performance shares (5,900 based on performance against the
constituents of the NAREIT Index and 7,100 based on performance against the companies in its
executive compensation peer group) and Mr. Bradley was awarded 9,700 performance shares (4,400
based on performance against the constituents of the NAREIT Index and 5,300 based on performance
against the companies in its executive compensation peer group) under the terms of the Companys
Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan. The provisions of the awards are consistent
with those described above for Mr. Pasquale.
Equity Grant Practices
The Compensation Committee typically grants equity awards at its first regularly scheduled
meeting of the year, which is normally held the day before the first regularly scheduled Board
meeting (generally held in January or
February) of each year. Board meeting dates are set in the prior year. With respect to the
grant of options, the grant date exercise price is based on the closing price on the NYSE on the
trading day the Compensation Committee awards the options. With respect to the grant of restricted
stock units, the grant date value is based on the Companys closing stock price on the NYSE on the
trading day the Compensation Committee makes the award. If a new employee is hired between
Compensation Committee meeting dates, the Compensation Committee generally makes an equity award at
its next scheduled meeting.
15
Stock Ownership Guidelines
It is the policy of the Company that each director and officer should commit to achieving and
maintaining a certain level of stock ownership (i.e., wholly owned shares). Newly elected or
appointed officers and directors should work toward achieving the targeted levels of ownership over
a five-year period. The policy outlines the following target levels of ownership:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CEO
|
|
Five times base salary |
|
|
CFO and CIO
|
|
Three and one half times base salary |

|
|
Two and one half times base salary |
|
|
Vice Presidents
|
|
Two times base salary |
|
|

As of the date hereof, all of the Named Officers are in compliance with the Companys stock
ownership guidelines.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION(1)
The Compensation Committee has certain duties and powers as described in its charter. The
Compensation Committee is currently composed of the four non-employee directors named at the end of
this report, each of whom is independent, as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing
standards.
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the disclosures
contained in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this report. Based upon this
review and our discussions, the Compensation Committee has recommended to our Board that the
Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in an amendment to the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Compensation Committee members whose names appear on the Compensation Committee Report
above were committee members during 2010. Mr. Banks was the Chairman of the Company from 1985 when
it was organized until 1988 when it became an independent REIT, and has been a director since its
inception. Neither Mr. Banks nor any current member of the Compensation Committee is a current or
former executive officer or employee of the Company or had any relationships requiring disclosure
by the Company under the SECs rules requiring disclosure of certain relationships and
related-party transactions, except that Mr. Gilchrist is the President of The Irvine Companys
Investment Properties Group, which owns the building in which the Companys headquarters are
located. None of the Companys executive officers served as a director or a member of a
compensation committee
(or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity, the executive
officers of which served as a director or member of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2010.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPENSATION POLICIES AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board is responsible for overseeing risk management for the Company. In doing so, the
Board and its committees determine the magnitude and potential impact of various risks; identify
any factors that may moderate the risk; direct the implementation of control systems to manage and
monitor the risk; and periodically evaluate the effectiveness of those control systems. The Board
has delegated some of its responsibility for risk oversight to the Audit Committee. In addition,
the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Investment Committee and the Compensation
Committee assist in risk oversight to the extent that they identify any risks in their areas of
responsibility.
The Audit Committee has responsibility to review the guidelines and policies governing the
process by which the Company assesses and manages its exposure to risk. The Audit Committees role
in risk oversight also relates to the integrity of the Companys financial statements; the
Companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the Companys Business Code of
Conduct & Ethics; the qualifications and independence of the Companys auditors; and the
performance of the Companys independent auditors and the Companys internal audit function. The
Audit Committee meets periodically with the Compliance Officer for the Business Code of Conduct &
Ethics to discuss compliance with that code, and considers any waiver requests; meets periodically
with the Companys Related Person Transactions Coordinator to discuss compliance with the Companys
Policy and Procedure with respect to Related Person Transactions and considers approval of proposed
transactions under that policy; and reviews and investigates any matters relating to the integrity
of management, including conflicts of interest, compliance processes, and any reports from counsel
regarding any material violations or breaches of fiduciary duties.
All of the committees report to the Board on their activities on a regular basis. The
Chairman of the Board, Mr. Pasquale, is not a member of any of the Boards committees. All of the
committees are comprised exclusively of non-employee directors. In his role as Lead Independent
Director, Mr. Paulson plays a role in risk oversight by coordinating the activities of the
independent directors and promoting their overall effectiveness.
The Board routinely conducts a company-wide risk assessment, as described above. Based upon
this assessment, the Board carefully evaluates any potential linkage between executive compensation
and corporate risks. On this basis, with input from the Compensation Committee, the Board has
concluded that current compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on the Company.
In reaching this conclusion, the Board and the Compensation Committee considered both the cash
and equity components of total compensation. With respect to cash compensation, the Board and the
Compensation Committee noted that base salaries are fixed in amount and thus do not encourage risk
taking. Separately, while the discretionary performance-based cash bonus awards focus on
achievement of annual goals, and annual goals may encourage a focus on shorter-term performance,
cash bonuses do not represent a majority of any individuals total compensation opportunities. The
Board and the Compensation Committee believe that the bonuses appropriately balance risk and the
desire to focus employees on specific annual goals which are important to both the Companys annual
and multi-year financial success, and that the bonuses do not encourage unnecessary or excessive
risk taking. In addition, commencing 2010, the Board adopted an Incentive Compensation Repayment
Policy that allows the Board or an appointed committee to take action to recover cash bonus awards
in the event of a material restatement of the Companys financial statements.
A significant portion of the compensation provided to executive officers and other senior
employees of the Company is in the form of long-term equity incentive awards that are important to
help further align the interests of the recipient with those of the Companys stockholders. The
Board and the Compensation Committee believe that these awards do not encourage unnecessary or
excessive risk taking because the ultimate value of the awards is tied to the Companys stock
price. These equity awards are staggered for overlapping multi-year periods and subject to
long-term vesting schedules to help ensure that recipients have significant value tied to the
Companys long-term, and sustained stock price performance. In addition, the Companys stock
ownership guidelines align an appropriate portion of the personal wealth of our officers and
directors to the long-term stability and performance of the Company.

The amounts reported in Columns (e) and (f) above reflect the aggregate grant date fair
value recognized for stock and option awards in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board ASC Topic 718 (disregarding any estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting
conditions). No stock or option awards granted to Named Officers were forfeited during 2010.
With respect to awards that are subject to performance conditions, the amounts reported in
Column (e) above reflect the value at the grant date based upon the probable outcome of such
conditions, and are consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be
recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under Financial Accounting
Standards Board ASC Topic 718 (disregarding any estimate of forfeitures). The value of the
awards at the grant date assuming the highest level of performance conditions will be achieved
are as follows: |

Compensation of Named Officers
The Summary Compensation Table Calendar 2010 above quantifies the value of the different
forms of compensation earned by or awarded to our Named Officers in 2010, 2009 and 2008. The
primary elements of each Named Officers total compensation reported in the table are base salary,
an annual bonus and long-term equity incentives. Named Officers also earned the other benefits
listed in Column (h) of the Summary Compensation Table Calendar 2010, as further described in
footnote (2) to the table.
The Summary Compensation Table Calendar 2010 should be read in conjunction with the
tables and narrative descriptions that follow. A description of the material terms of each Named
Officers base salary and annual bonus is provided immediately following this paragraph. The
Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Calendar 2010 table, and the description of the material terms of
the stock options and performance shares granted in 2010 that follows it, provides information
regarding the long-term equity incentives awarded to Named Officers in 2010. The Outstanding
Equity Awards at Calendar 2010 Year-End and Option Exercises and Stock Vested in Calendar 2010
tables provide further information on the Named Officers potential realizable value and actual
value realized with respect to their equity awards.
The Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Calendar 2010 table and related description of
the material terms of our non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan provides a more complete picture
of the potential future payments due to our Named Officers. The discussion of the potential
payments due upon a termination of employment or change in control that follows is intended to
further explain the potential future payments that are, or may become, payable to our Named
Officers under certain circumstances.
Description of Employment Agreements, Salary and Bonus Amounts
On September 30, 2003, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Pasquale, who
has served as the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer since April 2004. The agreement
was subsequently amended on January 31, 2005, amended and restated on April 23, 2007, and amended
and restated again on October 28, 2008. The 2008 restatement reflected technical changes for
purposes of complying with Section 409A of the Code, such as clarifying the timing of bonus
payments, severance payments and Section 280G tax gross-up payments, and adopting the definitions
of change of control, disability and separation from service used under Section 409A of the
Code. The term of the agreement is for three years; provided, however, that on the first day of
each month after the effective date of the agreement, the employment term will automatically be
extended so as to terminate on the third anniversary of such date unless the Company or Mr.
Pasquale gives notice that the term will not be further extended. The agreement provides that Mr.
Pasquale will receive an initial annualized base salary of $538,500, subject to annual review by
the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee generally reviews Mr. Pasquales base
salary in February of each year, with any increase made retroactive to January 1st of that year.
In making its determination with respect to Mr. Pasquales
19
base salary, the Compensation Committee considers the factors discussed above under Compensation Discussion and Analysis Current Named
Officers
Compensation Program Elements Base Salaries. As noted above, for 2010, Mr. Pasquales
salary was $650,000. Mr. Pasquales amended employment agreement provides for a target annual
bonus opportunity for Mr. Pasquale equal to 100% of his base salary (with the actual bonus ranging
from 0% of base salary for performance at the threshold level to 200% of base salary for
performance at the high level). Based on FW Cook & Co.s recommendation after reviewing comparable
compensation data for our peer group companies, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Pasquales
target bonus opportunity for 2010 to 130% of his base salary (and up to a maximum of 260% of his
base salary), and determined that it should remain at that level for 2011. In 2011, the
Compensation Committee will determine Mr. Pasquales actual bonus amount based on its assessment of
the Companys and Mr. Pasquales performance for the year, considering the factors discussed above
under Compensation Discussion and Analysis Current Named Officers Compensation Program Elements
Annual Bonuses. Mr. Pasquale is also entitled to receive share-based compensation at least
annually in accordance with the Companys compensation plans and participate in the Companys other
benefit plans applicable to the Companys senior executives.

Description of Plan-Based Awards
Each of the awards reported in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Calendar 2010 table was
granted under, and is subject to the terms of, the Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive
Plan.
Unless otherwise provided in an individual award agreement, under the terms of the Amended and
Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan, if there is a change in control of the Company, each
Named Officers outstanding awards granted under the plan will generally become fully vested and,
in the case of options, exercisable.
Stock Options with Parallel Dividend Rights
On February 9, 2010, the Compensation Committee approved an award of stock options with
parallel dividend rights to each of the Named Officers. Each option award was granted with a per
share exercise price of $31.97, the closing price of a share of the Companys common stock on
February 9, 2010. The options vest one-third per year over three years and have a 10-year life.
Following a termination due to death, disability or retirement, the options accelerate and remain
exercisable until their normal expiration dates. Options fully accelerate in the event of a change
in control and remain exercisable for no less than 30 days. For each option granted, a dividend
right is also granted. During the first three years after the option is granted, in the event that
the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its common stock, the Named Officer will be paid cash
equal to the dividend rate times the number of shares for which dividend rights have been issued.
Payment occurs regardless of whether the option has been exercised, but dividend payments cease
upon the third anniversary of the grant date. For more information with respect to the options and
the dividend rights, see Compensation Discussion and Analysis Current Named Officers
Compensation Program Elements Long-Term Equity Incentives.
Performance Shares
On February 9, 2010, the Compensation Committee approved an award of performance shares to
each of the Named Officers. The performance share awards granted to Named Officers represent a
contractual right to receive a number of shares of common stock if the following time-based and
performance-based vesting requirements are satisfied. Subject to the officers continued
employment, a percentage (ranging from between 50% to 200%) of the number of performance shares
subject to the award are eligible to become earned and vested based on the Companys TSR over the
three-year period between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2012 relative to the TSR of the
companies comprising the NAREIT Index as of December 31, 2009, except that payout is capped at 100%
of target if TSR is negative. Performance shares that become earned and vested will be paid in an
equivalent number of shares of common stock following the performance period. Named Officers are
not entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to performance shares. For
information with respect to the vesting and termination provisions, see Compensation Discussion
and Analysis Current Named Officers Compensation Program Elements Long-Term Equity
Incentives.

Each stock option grant was granted under, and is subject to, the Companys 1989 Stock
Option Plan. The option expiration date shown in Column (f) above is the normal expiration
date, and the latest date that the options may be exercised. |
|
|
|
The stock option grants are accompanied by the following performance-based dividend equivalent
rights. Three years after the grant date of an option, the Companys performance for the period
following grant was evaluated and dividend equivalents were awarded for a percentage of the
total number of shares subject to each option grant based on such performance. Generally, 50%
of the shares subject to the option were eligible for dividend equivalents based on the
Companys TSR performance over the three-year period following grant relative to a peer group of
healthcare real estate investment trusts, as selected by the Compensation Committee after
considering recommendations of FPL Associates, L.P.. The remaining 50% of the shares subject to
the option were eligible for dividend equivalents based on the Companys performance over the
three-year period following grant in the areas of (1) growth percentage of FFO, (2) multiple of
FFO, (3) dividend growth, (4) dividend yield, and (5) amount and quality of new investments.
Each of these five factors was reviewed against the peer group; however, the determination as to
whether this 50% test was met in whole or in part was based on an overall subjective judgment of
the Compensation Committee. Fifty percent of the options granted in 2001 have dividend
equivalent rights; 21.9% of the options granted in 2002 have dividend equivalent rights; and
62.5% of the options granted in 2003 have dividend equivalent rights. In connection with the
transition from stock options to restricted stock in 2004, the Compensation Committee set the
dividend equivalent rate for options granted in 2004 at 80%. |
22
|
|
|
|
|
The dividend equivalent rights entitle the option holder to an amount equal to the per share
ordinary cash dividend the Company pays on its common stock for each share subject to an
outstanding and unexercised
option that was awarded dividend equivalent treatment. Once dividend equivalent treatment was
awarded, a catch up payment was made to the option holder to reflect dividends paid by the
Company during the three-year performance period following the option grant date. Additional
dividend equivalents are credited and payable on regular dividend payment dates until the
earlier of (i) the Named Officers termination of employment or service or (ii) the expiration
of the corresponding option according to its terms (i.e., ten years from the date of the
applicable award agreement in the case of incentive stock options and eleven years from the date
of the applicable award agreement in the case of non-qualified stock options), regardless of
whether or when such option is exercised. |
|
(2) |
|
The restricted stock unit awards are subject to accelerated vesting in connection with a
change in control of the Company and certain terminations of the Named Officers employment
with the Company, as described in more detail above under Grants of Plan-Based Awards in
Calendar 2010 and below under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control. |
|
(3) |
|
The market or payout value of unit awards reported in Columns (h) and (j) is computed by
multiplying the number of units reported in Columns (g) and (i), respectively, by $36.38, the
closing market price of our common stock on December 31, 2010. |

Represents the target number of performance shares eligible to become earned and vested based
on the Companys TSR over the three-year period between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2012
relative to the TSR of the companies comprising the NAREIT Index as of December 31, 2009 for
that same period (with 50% of the performance shares becoming earned and vested if the
Companys TSR is at or below the 50th percentile and 200% of the performance shares becoming
earned and vested if the Companys TSR is at the 100th percentile). At December
31, 2010 our ranking in the TSR described in the previous sentence was 19% which equates to
earning 50% of the performance share awards. The performance share awards are subject to full
or partial accelerated vesting in the event of certain terminations of employment or upon
certain changes in control of the Company. Officers are not entitled to dividends or dividend
equivalents with respect to performance shares. |

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company permits the Named Officers and other key employees to elect to receive a portion
of their compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table on a deferred basis under the
Companys Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP). Certain material terms of the DCP are discussed
below.
Under the DCP, each participant may elect to defer up to 100% of his salary and bonus. The
Company makes a matching contribution in respect of a participants deferrals under the plan equal
to the lesser of one-half of the salary (other than annual bonus) deferred by the participant under
the plan for such year, or 4% of the participants salary (other than annual bonus) for the same
such year. Participants are always 100% vested in their plan accounts.
A participants deferrals under the DCP (including earnings and matching contributions) are
credited with investment gains and losses until the amounts are paid out. Investment gains and
losses are credited to a participants account based on the investment gain or loss that would have
occurred had the participants account been invested in the investment options selected by the
participant under the DCP. Investment options available under the DCP include: (i) a government
fund selected by the plan administrator, which seeks to invest primarily in debt issued by the
United States government; (ii) an equity fund selected by the plan administrator, which seeks to
invest primarily in equity securities; and (iii) a balanced fund selected by the plan
administrator, which seeks to invest primarily in both debt and equity securities, the proportions
of which may change from time to time. In addition, the DCP includes an investment option under
which investment gains and losses will be determined according to the securities or funds specified
by the participant, subject to restrictions established by the plan administrator. Participants
may change their investment options once per quarter at the time and in the manner specified by the
plan administrator. The Company changed fund providers during the course of 2010, and the
following table presents the investment gain or loss (expressed as a percentage rate of return) for
the investment options of each fund provider for the period of time such group of investment
options was available under the plan in 2010.

A participants plan balance becomes payable in a lump sum 30 days following the earliest of
(1) an in-service distribution date if elected by a participant, (2) a participants separation
from service, as defined under Section 409A of the Code, and (3) an unforeseeable emergency or
hardship as described in the plan. The amount of any hardship distribution may not exceed the
amount necessary to satisfy the hardship.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following section describes the benefits that may become payable to certain Named
Officers, depending on the circumstances surrounding their termination of employment with us. In
addition to the benefits described below, upon a termination of a Named Officers employment with
the Company, the Named Officer is generally entitled to amounts or benefits earned or accrued
during the term of employment, including earned but unpaid salary and unused vacation pay. In
calculating the amount of any potential payments to the Named Officers under the arrangements
described below, we have assumed that the applicable triggering event (i.e., termination of
employment or change in control) occurred on December 31, 2010, and that the price per share of our
common stock is equal to $36.38, the closing price on such date.
The amounts set forth below are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to each Named
Officer upon his termination or upon a change in control. The actual amounts to be paid out can be
determined only at the time of such Named Officers separation from the Company or the change in
control.
Employment Agreement with Douglas M. Pasquale
Mr. Pasquales employment agreement, described above under Description of Employment
Agreements, Salary and Bonus Amounts, provides for certain benefits to be paid to Mr. Pasquale in
connection with a termination of his employment with the Company under the circumstances described
below. Payment of the severance and other benefits described below is contingent on Mr. Pasquales
compliance with a covenant not to use or disclose the Companys confidential information.
26
Severance Benefits Termination of Employment. Under Mr. Pasquales employment agreement
with the Company, in the event Mr. Pasquales employment is terminated during the employment term
either by the Company other than for cause or disability or by Mr. Pasquale for good reason
(which includes a resignation by Mr. Pasquale for any reason during the period six months prior to and three years following any change in control of the Company) (as those terms are defined in the
employment agreement), Mr. Pasquale will be entitled to severance pay that includes: (1) any
accrued but unpaid base salary through the termination date; (2) a pro-rated portion of the annual
bonus that he would have earned for the year of separation; (3) an amount equal to three times Mr.
Pasquales highest base salary during any of the last three full fiscal years prior to the
termination date, payable in equal monthly installments over the three-year period following the
termination date; (4) an amount equal to three times the average annual bonus earned by Mr.
Pasquale over the last three full fiscal years prior to the termination date, payable in equal
annual installments over the three-year period following the termination date; (5)
medical and life insurance benefits, with terms no less favorable, in the
aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided to Mr. Pasquale during the year immediately
preceding the termination date, as well as continuation of all other benefits in place as of the termination date, each for three years following
the termination date; (6) accelerated vesting of Mr. Pasquales equity-based awards to
the extent outstanding on the termination date and not otherwise vested; (7) any performance-based
dividend equivalents on then-outstanding stock options that were granted under the Companys 1989
Stock Option Plan for the three-year period following the termination date; (8) payment of any
compensation previously deferred (including matching contributions and earnings) by Mr. Pasquale in
accordance with the provisions of the Companys Deferred Compensation Plan; and (9) in the event
that Mr. Pasquales separation benefits (whether under his employment agreement or any other plan
or arrangement) are subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code, a gross-up payment so that the net amount of such payment (after taxes) he receives is
sufficient to pay the excise tax due.
If Mr. Pasquales employment with the Company terminates on account of his death or total
disability, Mr. Pasquale will be entitled to (i) a pro-rated portion of his annual bonus that he
would have earned for the fiscal year of separation, and (ii) pro-rata vesting of outstanding
stock-based awards. However, pursuant to the terms of Mr. Pasquales stock option agreements (for
stock options granted under the Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan), his stock
options will fully vest upon a termination due to death, disability or retirement.
If, at the time of Mr. Pasquales termination of employment, he is a specified employee (as
defined in Section 416(i) of the Code) and the Companys stock is publicly traded, any portion of
the payments or benefits under the agreement that would otherwise be subject to taxation pursuant
to Section 409A of the Code will be payable not earlier than six months after his separation from
service with the Company (or, if earlier, the date of his death). As soon as practicable following
the date that is six months after his separation from service (or, if earlier, his death), and in
any event within ten business days of such date, Mr. Pasquale will receive the entire portion of
the severance payments described above that he would have received as of such date without the
application of this six-month delay and thereafter will receive the remaining payments as provided
in the agreement.
Change in Control Agreements with Other Named Officers
The Company has entered into change in control agreements with Messrs. Khoury and Bradley.
The agreements are substantially identical and provide for certain benefits to be paid to the Named
Officer in connection with a termination of employment with the Company under the circumstances
described below. In each case, payment of the severance and other benefits described below is
contingent on the Named Officers compliance with a covenant not to use or disclose the Companys
confidential information.
Severance Benefits Termination of Employment in Connection with a Change in Control. The
change in control agreements provide that if, within six months prior to or three years following a
change in control of the Company, the executives employment is terminated by the Company without
cause (and not on account of death or total disability) or by the executive for good reason (as
those terms are defined in the change in control agreements), then the executive will be entitled
to receive the following separation benefits: (1) an amount equal to three times the executives
highest annual base salary during any of the last three full fiscal years prior to separation,
payable in equal monthly installments over the three-year period following separation; (2) an
amount equal to three times the average annual bonus earned by the executive over the last three
full fiscal years prior to separation, payable in equal annual installments over the three-year
period following separation; (3) continued medical and life insurance benefits for three years
following separation, on terms no less favorable in the aggregate than the most favorable of those
provided to the executive during the year immediately preceding the separation; (4) accelerated
vesting of all outstanding stock-based awards; (5) performance-based dividend equivalents on
outstanding stock options that were granted under the Companys 1989 Stock Option Plan for the
three-year period following separation; and (6) any compensation previously deferred by the
executive in accordance with the provisions of the plan under which such compensation was deferred.
Should an executives separation benefits (whether under a change in control agreement or any
other plan or arrangement) be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the
change in control agreements provide that the Company will make an additional payment to the
executive so that the net amount of such payment (after taxes) received by the executive is
sufficient to pay the excise tax due.
27
If, at the time of the executives termination of employment, the executive is a specified
employee (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code) and the Companys stock is publicly traded, any
portion of the payments or benefits under the agreement that would otherwise be subject to taxation
pursuant to Section 409A of the Code will be payable not earlier than six months after his
separation from service with the Company (or, if earlier, the date of his death). As soon as
practicable following the date that is six months after the date of his separation from service
(or, if earlier, his death), and in any event within ten business days of such date (or sixty days
in the case of death), the executive will receive the entire portion of the severance package he
would have received as of such date without the application of such six-month delay and thereafter
will receive the remaining amounts as provided in the agreement.
Long-Term Equity Incentives
Unless otherwise provided in an individual award agreement, under the terms of each of the
1989 Stock Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan, if there is a
change in control of the Company, each Named Officers outstanding awards granted under the plan
will generally become fully vested and, in the case of options, exercisable, pursuant to any
applicable requirements under Section 409A of the Code. Furthermore, the equity award agreements
granted under the 1989 Stock Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive
Plan provide for certain levels of vesting in connection with qualifying terminations of
employment. For additional information with respect to the acceleration of vesting in connection
with certain terminations of employment and a change in control of the Company, see Compensation
Discussion and Analysis Current Named Officers Compensation Program Elements Long-Term Equity
Incentives and Description of Plan-Based Awards above.
Termination without Cause or for Good Reason Absent a Change in Control
The following table lists the estimated amounts Mr. Pasquale would have become entitled to, if
his employment was terminated by the Company without cause (and not on account of his death or
disability) or by Mr. Pasquale for good reason on December 31, 2010 absent a change in control.
As previously discussed, none of the other Named Officers are entitled to any severance benefits
for any termination not in connection with a change in control.

For purposes of Column (e), we have calculated the estimated value to the executive of
continued benefits plan coverage for three years following termination to be three times the
executives cost for benefits plan coverage during 2010. |
|
(2) |
|
For purposes of Column (f), we have calculated the value of any option (including SAR award)
or stock award (including performance shares) that may be accelerated in connection with a
termination of employment described above to be the full value of such award (i.e., the full
spread value for options and SARs and the market price per share of common stock for stock
awards). For performance shares, the estimated value reflects the maximum number of shares
issuable under outstanding performance share awards and the market price per share of common
stock. The actual number of shares issuable under outstanding
performance share awards will be determined in accordance with the
relevant agreements at the time of Mr. Pasquales termination of
employment.

Termination without Cause or for Good Reason in Connection with a Change in Control
The following table lists the Named Officers and the estimated amounts they would have become
entitled to if, in connection with a change in control, their employment was terminated by the
Company without cause (and not on account of a Named Officers death or disability) or by the
Named Officer for good reason (under an employment agreement for Mr. Pasquale, and under a change
in control agreement for the other Named Officers) on December 31, 2010.

For purposes of Column (e), we have calculated the estimated value to the executive of
continued benefits plan coverage for three years following termination to be three times the
executives cost for benefits plan coverage during 2010. |
|
(2) |
|
For purposes of Column (f), we have calculated the value of any option (including SAR award)
or stock award (including performance shares) that may be accelerated in connection with a
termination of employment described above to be the full value of such award (i.e., the full
spread value for options and SARs and the market price per share of common stock for stock
awards). For performance shares, the estimated value reflects the maximum number of shares
issuable under outstanding performance share awards and the market price per share of common
stock. The actual number of shares issuable under outstanding
performance share awards will be determined in accordance with the
relevant agreements at the time of the Named Officers
termination of employment.

The Company estimates that the foregoing benefits to the Named Officers would trigger excise
taxes under Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code. This amount reflects the gross-up
payment to each Named Officer so that the net amount of such payment (after taxes) the Named
Officer receives is sufficient to pay the excise tax. For purposes of calculating the Section
4999 excise tax, we have assumed that the Named Officers outstanding equity awards would be
accelerated and terminated in exchange for a cash payment upon the change in control. The
value of this acceleration for purposes of Section 280G (and thus the amount of the gross-up
payment) would be slightly higher if the accelerated awards were assumed by the acquiring
company rather than terminated upon the transaction. |
Termination as a Result of Death or Disability

For purposes of Column (c), we have calculated the value of any option or stock award that
may be accelerated in connection with a termination of employment described above to be the
full value of such award (i.e., the full spread value for options and the market price per
share of common stock for stock awards). For performance shares, we have calculated the value
based on the pro rata portion of the award earned to date based on actual performance through
December 31, 2010 and the market price per share of common stock. |
Termination as a Result of Retirement
Other than Mr. Khoury, the Named Officers currently do not meet the requirements for
retirement payments which require both (a) the Named Officers attainment of age 60 and (b) the
completion of five years of service to the Company for awards granted prior to December 31, 2009
(or ten years for awards issued subsequent to December 31, 2009). Upon a termination as a result
of retirement, the Named Officers performance shares are eligible to continue to vest and are
subject to pro-rata vesting at the conclusion of the performance period; the Named Officers SARs
and related dividend equivalents, to the extent not previously terminated, continue to vest in
accordance with the applicable vesting schedules, and the Named Officers options (that were
granted under the Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan) accelerate and the related
dividend rights accelerate and are paid immediately in a lump sum in an amount equal to (x) the
number of remaining dividend payments that would have been payable under the award if no
termination had occurred, multiplied by (y) the number of dividend equivalents subject to the
award, multiplied by (z) the value of the quarterly dividend payment that was most recently paid
prior to the termination.

For purposes of Column (b), we have calculated the value of any option (including SAR award)
or stock award (including performance shares) that may be accelerated in connection with a
termination of employment described above to be the full value of such award (i.e., the full
spread value for options and SARs and the market price per share of common stock for stock
awards). For performance shares, the estimated value reflects vesting based on actual
performance through December 31, 2010 and the market price per share of common stock. |
|

|
The total value does not reflect any potential reductions to the extent necessary to ensure
that the Company is not denied federal income tax deductions for any parachute payments
imposed by Section 280G of the Code. In the event of a change in control absent a
termination, the Named Officers equity acceleration may be cut back for these purposes. |
Deferred Compensation Plan
Upon a Named Officers retirement or other termination of employment, the Named Officer will
generally receive a payout of his nonqualified deferred compensation balance under the Companys
Deferred Compensation Plan. Please see the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Calendar 2010
table above and the related discussion of our Deferred Compensation Plan for a description of these
deferred compensation payments.

The amounts reported in Column (c) above reflect the aggregate grant date fair value
recognized for stock awards in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic
718 (disregarding any estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions).
In connection with their retirement from the Board, Mr. Samuelson forfeited 3,000 restricted
stock unit awards and had 3,000 restricted stock unit awards accelerated, while Mr. Miller had
6,000 restricted stock unit awards accelerated. For a discussion of the assumptions and
methodologies used to calculate the amounts reported in Column (c) above, please see the
discussion of stock awards contained in Note 12 (Stock Incentive Plan) to the Companys
Consolidated Financial Statements, included as part of the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC, which note is incorporated
herein by reference. |

As described below, we granted each of our Non-Employee Directors an award of 3,000 shares of
restricted stock units during 2010. Each of these restricted stock unit awards had a value of
$95,910 on the grant date. No option awards were granted to our Non-Employee Directors during
2010. |

Annual Equity Awards
Under our Non-Employee Director compensation policy as in effect in 2010, our Non-Employee
Directors were granted an annual award of 3,000 shares of restricted stock units under the
Companys Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan in February 2010. Subject to each
Non-Employee Directors continued service as a director, each award vests as to one-third of the
total shares of restricted stock units subject to the award on each of the first, second and third
anniversaries of the grant date. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2005
Performance Incentive Plan, restricted stock units granted to our Non-Employee Directors may vest
on an accelerated basis in connection with a change in control of the Company. Prior to the time
they become vested, shares of restricted stock units generally may not be transferred, sold or
otherwise disposed of.
Non-Employee Directors are entitled to cash dividends on unvested shares of restricted stock
units at the same rate that the Company pays dividends on all of its common stock. No future
dividends will be paid on shares of restricted stock units that are forfeited to the Company;
however, Non-Employee Directors will be entitled to retain any dividends paid on shares of
restricted stock units prior to forfeiture.
Each Non-Employee Directors restricted stock unit award was granted under, and is subject to
the terms of, the Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee
administers the plan as to Non-Employee Director awards and has the authority to interpret and make
all required determinations under the plan, subject to Board oversight and plan limits. This
authority includes making required proportionate adjustments to outstanding restricted stock unit
awards to reflect any impact resulting from various corporate events such as reorganizations,
mergers and stock splits.
Retirement Plan for Directors
Each Non-Employee Director who was a Director prior to 2005 participates in the Companys
Retirement Plan for Directors, which was frozen as of December 31, 2005. No new years of service
and no new directors will be added to the plan after that date. Under the terms of the plan,
Non-Employee Directors whose services as a director terminate for any reason (in accordance with
the requirements for a separation from service under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code),
are entitled to receive an annual retirement benefit from the Company equal to the aggregate annual
retainer in effect at the time of the Non-Employee Directors termination of services as a
director. Increases in the annual retainer that take effect after a Non-Employee Directors
termination of services as a director will automatically increase the annual retirement benefit.
The annual retirement benefit will be paid for a period equal to the number of years (as of
December 31, 2005) that the Non-Employee Director served as a director. Upon the death of a
Non-Employee Director, any remaining benefits under the plan will be paid to the Non-Employee
Directors designated beneficiary in accordance with the same payment schedule described above
until receipt of the maximum benefit to which the Non-Employee Director would have been entitled
had the Non-Employee Director survived. In 2008 the Company adopted a technical amendment to the
Retirement Plan for Directors for purposes of complying with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code.

to the Company or to a beneficiary of the holder upon his death. Holders are, however,

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence. |
In August 2008, Dr. Jeffrey Rush was appointed as a Director of the Company. Dr. Rush is the
Chairman of Pacific Medical Buildings LLC (PMB), a company with which we entered into an
agreement in February 2008 to acquire up to 18 medical office buildings for $747.6 million. In
April 2008, we formed NHP/PMB L.P., a limited partnership (NHP/PMB), to acquire properties from
entities affiliated with PMB.
Effective as of February 1, 2010, NHP/PMB acquired a medical office building from an affiliate
of PMB for an aggregate purchase price of $74.0 million, consisting of cash, and the issuance of
301,599 units of limited partnership interest in NHP/PMB. As a result of this transaction, Dr.
Rush and certain entities affiliated with Dr. Rush received 77,309 limited partnership units in
NHP/PMB, valued at approximately $2.6 million at the time, in exchange for interests in the medical
office building contributed to the partnership. After a one-year holding period, holders of
limited partnership units may redeem such units for cash or, at our option, shares of our common
stock (on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment). Also effective as of February 1, 2010, we
entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of PMB. This affiliate contributed a property to
the joint venture, and we contributed $6.3 million in cash and committed to make loans to the joint
venture in an aggregate amount up to $8.8 million, of which $6.8 million was disbursed initially.
If certain conditions are met, NHP/PMB may acquire this property in the future.
Effective as of March 1, 2010, NHP/PMB acquired controlling interests in two additional
medical office buildings from affiliates of PMB for an aggregate of
$149.2 million. As a result of
these transactions, Dr. Rush and certain entities affiliated with Dr. Rush received 59,761 limited
partnership units in NHP/PMB, valued at approximately $2.0 million at the time, in exchange for
interests in the medical office buildings contributed to the partnership. Also effective as of
March 1, 2010, we entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of PMB. This affiliate
contributed a property to the joint venture, and we contributed $13.5 million in cash and committed
to make loans to the joint venture in an aggregate amount up to
$59.5 million, of which $52.8 million was disbursed
initially. If certain
conditions are met, NHP/PMB may acquire this property in the future.
35
Effective as of March 1, 2010, we also acquired, for $2.6 million in cash and the assumption
of $6.2 million of debt, the remaining 55.05% interest in an affiliate of PMB that owns two medical
office buildings. Dr. Rush, through an unaffiliated entity, has an ownership interest in such
affiliate of PMB.
Mr. Gilchrist has been a director of the Company since 2008. Mr. Gilchrist serves as the
President of The Irvine Companys Investment Properties Group, which owns the building in which the
Companys headquarters are located. In 2010, the Company paid approximately $536,354 in rent to
The Irvine Company.
The Audit Committee has responsibility to review the guidelines and policies governing the
process by which the Company assesses and manages its exposure to risk. The Audit Committees role
in risk oversight also relates to the integrity of the Companys financial statements; the
Companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the Companys Business Code of
Conduct & Ethics; the qualifications and independence of the Companys auditors; and the
performance of the Companys independent auditors and the Companys internal audit function. The
Audit Committee meets periodically with the Compliance Officer for the Business Code of Conduct &
Ethics to discuss compliance with that code, and considers any waiver requests; meets periodically
with the Companys Related Person Transactions Coordinator to discuss compliance with the Companys
Policy and Procedure with respect to Related Person Transactions and considers approval of proposed
transactions under that policy; and reviews and investigates any matters relating to the integrity
of management, including conflicts of interest, compliance processes, and any reports from counsel
regarding any material violations or breaches of fiduciary duties.
The Board has determined that, with the exception of Messrs. Pasquale and Rush, all of its
members are independent directors, as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards
applicable to the Company and as determined by the Board in accordance with the Companys Corporate
Governance Principles.

concluded that the provision of such services by Ernst & Young LLP was compatible with the
maintenance of that firms independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit
Committee charter provides for the pre-approval of all audit and audit related fees as well as the
approval of any non-audit service provided above a de minimis level from time to time established
by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to the Chairman
of the Audit Committee so long as he presents any decisions made to the full Audit Committee at its
next scheduled meeting.
