COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risks arise when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to the Company’s investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company regularly monitors its portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks.
Sun
As of December 31, 2011, 86 of the Company’s 97 real estate properties were leased to subsidiaries of Sun. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 84% of the Company’s total revenues were derived from these leases. As of December 31, 2010, all of the Company's real estate properties were leased to Sun, and all of the Company's rental revenues were derived from these leases. Sun is a publicly traded company and is subject to the informational filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is required to file periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q with the SEC. As of December 31, 2011, Sun, through its subsidiaries, operated 199 inpatient centers spread across 25 states. Sun’s net revenues and adjusted normalized earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization and rent were $1.9 billion and $243.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $1.9 billion and $249.8 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, Sun’s outstanding debt, net of cash, totaled $31.9 million and $74.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, Sun had approximately $117.9 million and $141.2 million, respectively, in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $57.9 million and $81.2 million, respectively, and available borrowings under Sun's revolving credit facility of $60.0 million as of both dates. 
Cadia Portfolio
On August 1, 2011, the Company closed the purchase of four skilled nursing facilities—Broadmeadow Healthcare, Capitol Healthcare, Pike Creek Healthcare and Renaissance Healthcare (the “Cadia Portfolio”). The four skilled nursing facilities are located in Delaware, range in age from 2 to 15 years and have a combined total of 500 beds. In connection with the acquisition, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a new 15-year triple-net master lease agreement with the sellers (collectively, the “Cadia Tenants”). None of the Cadia Tenants are affiliated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2011, the Company's investment in the Cadia Portfolio totaled 13% of the Company's assets, and during the year ended December 31, 2011, 5% of the Company's total revenues were derived from the Cadia Portfolio lease. The Company expects to derive 11% of its annualized total revenues as of December 31, 2011 from the Cadia Portfolio lease.  The Company believes that the financial condition and results of operations of the Cadia Tenants are more relevant to the Company’s investors than the financial statements of the Cadia Portfolio and enable investors to evaluate the credit-worthiness of the Cadia Tenants in their capacity as the tenants under the Cadia Portfolio lease. As a result, the Company has presented below unaudited summary financial information of the Cadia Tenants as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The summary financial information presented below has been provided by the Cadia Tenants and has not been independently verified by the Company. The Company has no reason to believe that such information is inaccurate in any material respect.

Texas Regional Medical Center
On May 3, 2011, the Company closed the purchase of Texas Regional Medical Center at Sunnyvale, a 70-bed acute care hospital located in Sunnyvale, Texas (“Texas Regional Medical Center”). Texas Regional Medical Center is leased pursuant to a long-term, triple-net lease to Texas Regional Medical Center, Ltd. (the “TRMC Tenant”), a partnership that includes approximately 75 physicians who practice at the hospital. Neither Texas Regional Medical Center nor the TRMC Tenant is affiliated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2011, the Company's investment in Texas Regional Medical Center totaled 8% of the Company's assets, and during the year ended December 31, 2011, 5% of the Company's total revenues were derived from the Texas Regional Medical Center lease. The Company expects to derive 7% of its annualized total revenues as of December 31, 2011 from the Texas Regional Medical Center lease. The Company believes that the financial condition and results of operations of the TRMC Tenant are more relevant to the Company’s investors than the financial statements of Texas Regional Medical Center and enable investors to evaluate the credit-worthiness of the TRMC Tenant. As a result, the Company has presented below unaudited summary financial information of the TRMC Tenant as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The summary financial information presented below has been provided by the TRMC Tenant and has not been independently verified by the Company. The Company has no reason to believe that such information is inaccurate in any material respect.

Other than the Company’s significant tenant concentrations, management believes the Company's current portfolio is reasonably diversified across healthcare related real estate and geographical location and does not contain any other significant concentration of credit risks. The Company’s portfolio of 97 real estate properties is diversified by location across 23 states. The properties in any one state did not account for more than 16% and 19%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2011 and from the Separation Date through December 31, 2010.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of December 31, 2011.
Indemnification Agreement
In connection with the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving the Company’s real estate investments has been assumed by the Company and the Company will indemnify Sun (and its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) against any losses arising from or relating to such legal proceedings. In addition, pursuant to a distribution agreement entered into among Old Sun, the Company and Sun in connection with the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, Sun has agreed to indemnify the Company (and the Company's subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) for any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving Old Sun’s healthcare business prior to the Separation, and, pursuant to the lease agreements between the Company and subsidiaries of Sun, the tenants agree to indemnify the Company for any liability arising from operations at the real property leased from the Company.
Immediately prior to the Separation, Old Sun was a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings, including various claims arising in the ordinary course of its healthcare business, which are subject to the indemnities to be provided by Sun to the Company. While these actions and proceedings are not believed to be material, individually or in the aggregate, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted. The resolution of any such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on Sun’s business, financial position or results of operations, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position or results of operations if Sun or its subsidiaries are unable to meet their indemnification obligations.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings where the likelihood of a loss contingency is reasonably possible and the amount or range of reasonably possible losses is material to the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
