These leases generally have an initial term of up to 21 years and generally have two or more multiple-year renewal options. As of September 30, 2010, approximately 86% of these facilities were leased under master leases. In addition, the majority of these leases contain cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions tied to other leases with the same tenant, as well as grouped lease renewals and grouped purchase options. As of September 30, 2010, leases covering 465 facilities were backed by security deposits consisting of irrevocable letters of credit or cash totaling $77.8 million. Under the terms of the leases, the tenant is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures on the leased properties. As of September 30, 2010, leases covering 373 facilities contained provisions for property tax impounds, and leases covering 257 facilities contained provisions for capital expenditure impounds. We generally lease medical office buildings to multiple tenants under separate non-triple-net leases, where we are responsible for many of the associated operating expenses (although many of these are, or can effectively be, passed through to the tenants). However, some of the medical office buildings are subject to triple-net leases, where the lessees are responsible for the associated operating expenses. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we acquired 16 skilled nursing facilities, seven medical office buildings and nine assisted and independent living facilities subject to triple-net leases in ten separate transactions for an aggregate investment of $238.3 million. In connection with the acquisition of five of the assisted and independent living facilities and one of the skilled nursing facilities described above, we funded two unsecured loans totaling $5.5 million and funded an additional $0.4 million subsequent to acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we acquired the remaining 55.05% interest in PMB SB 399-401 East Highland LLC (“PMB SB”), an entity affiliated with Pacific Medical Buildings LLC that owns two multi-tenant medical office buildings. PMB SB was valued at $17.4 million at the date of acquisition, and the acquisition was paid in a combination of cash and the assumption of $11.2 million of mortgage financing (of which $6.2 million was previously attributable to the controlling interest in PMB SB) (see Note 6). </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we funded $15.4 million in expansions, construction and capital improvements at certain facilities in our triple-net leases segment in accordance with existing lease provisions. Such expansions, construction and capital improvements generally result in an increase in the minimum rents earned by us on these facilities either at the time of funding or upon completion of the project. As of September 30, 2010, we had committed to fund additional expansions, construction and capital improvements of $108.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we also funded $0.9 million in capital and tenant improvements at certain multi-tenant medical office buildings. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold three skilled nursing facilities and two assisted and independent living facilities for net cash proceeds of $15.6 million that resulted in a total gain of $6.4 million which is included on our consolidated income statements in gains on sale of facilities in discontinued operations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold the assisted living portion of a continuing care retirement community for which we had an existing mortgage loan secured by the skilled nursing portion of such continuing care retirement community (see Note 4) to the tenant of the facility. We provided financing of $6.5 million related to the sale, including the concurrent repayment of a $0.7 million unsecured loan which had previously been included in the caption “Other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets (see Note 4). As we have a continuing interest in the facility, operating results from the facility are included in income from continuing operations on our consolidated income statements. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-left: 0in; "> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we transferred and assigned our controlling interest in one consolidated partnership which owned one assisted and independent living facility (“Partnership A”) to our partner in exchange for our partner’s noncontrolling interest in a second consolidated partnership which owned one assisted and independent living facility (“Partnership B”). We had previously provided a mortgage loan to Partnership A which was assigned to our partner as part of the exchange transaction (see Note 4). Upon exchange of the ownership interests, the remaining $1.7 million of noncontrolling interests in the partnerships was eliminated. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">No impairment charges were recorded on our real estate properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009. </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false us-types:textBlockItemType textblock This element represents certain disclosures of real estate investment financial statements, real estate investment trust operating support agreements, real estate owned, retail land sales, time share transactions, as well as other real estate related disclosures.
