       In February 2008, we entered into an agreement (the
       &amp;#8220;Contribution Agreement&amp;#8221;) with Pacific Medical
       Buildings LLC and certain of its affiliates to acquire up to 18
       multi-tenant medical office buildings, including six that were
       in development, for $747.6&amp;#160;million, including the
       assumption of approximately $282.6&amp;#160;million of mortgage
       financing. Under the Contribution Agreement, in 2008, NHP/PMB
       acquired interests in nine of the 18&amp;#160;medical office
       buildings, one of which consisted of a 50% interest through a
       joint venture which is consolidated by NHP/PMB. During 2008, we
       also acquired one of the 18 medical office buildings directly
       (not through
       &lt;font style="white-space: nowrap"&gt;NHP/PMB).&lt;/font&gt;
       During 2009, we elected to terminate the Contribution Agreement
       with respect to six properties after the conditions for us to
       close on such properties were not satisfied. As a result of the
       elimination of these six properties, under the Contribution
       Agreement, NHP/PMB became obligated to pay $3.0&amp;#160;million
       (the &amp;#8220;2009 Premium Adjustment&amp;#8221;), of which
       $2.7&amp;#160;million was payable to Pacific Medical Buildings LLC.
       The portion of the 2009 Premium Adjustment not payable to
       Pacific Medical Buildings LLC was paid in the form of
       $0.2&amp;#160;million in cash and the issuance of 2,551 additional
       OP&amp;#160;Units with an aggregate cost basis of $0.1&amp;#160;million.
       As a result of the cash and stock paid with respect to the
       Current Premium Adjustment, we received an additional 6,481
       Class&amp;#160;B limited partnership units in
       &lt;font style="white-space: nowrap"&gt;NHP/PMB.&lt;/font&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: transparent"&gt;
       As of February&amp;#160;1, 2010, we entered into an amendment to the
       Contribution Agreement which reinstated one of the six
       properties that were previously eliminated from the Contribution
       Agreement. NHP/PMB acquired this multi-tenant medical office
       building for $74.0&amp;#160;million, which was paid in a combination
       of cash and the issuance of 301,599 OP&amp;#160;Units with a fair
       value at the date of issuance of $10.0&amp;#160;million. As a result
       of such acquisition, we retired our $47.5&amp;#160;million mortgage
       loan from a related party to which such acquired medical office
       building had served as collateral (see Note&amp;#160;22).
       Additionally, as of February&amp;#160;1, 2010, we acquired a
       majority ownership interest in a joint venture which owns one
       multi-tenant medical office building (see &lt;i&gt;NHP/PMB Gilbert LLC
       &lt;/i&gt;below), amended and restated our agreement with NHP/PMB, PMB
       LLC and PMB Real Estate Services LLC (&amp;#8220;PMBRES&amp;#8221;) as
       described
   below and amended our agreement with PMB Pomona LLC to provide
       for the future acquisition by NHP/PMB of a medical office
       building currently in development (see Note&amp;#160;22). In
       connection with these transactions, NHP/PMB entered into a Third
       Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
       Partnership of NHP/PMB, which, among other things, authorized
       NHP/PMB to acquire properties affiliated with Pacific Medical
       Buildings LLC pursuant to agreements other than the Contribution
       Agreement.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: transparent"&gt;
       As of March&amp;#160;1, 2010, we entered into an amendment to the
       Contribution Agreement which reinstated another two of the six
       properties that were previously eliminated from the Contribution
       Agreement. NHP/PMB acquired a 65% interest in a joint venture
       which is consolidated by NHP/PMB that owns one of the two
       multi-tenant medical office buildings valued at
       $79.9&amp;#160;million. The acquisition was paid in a combination of
       cash, the assumption of $48.1&amp;#160;million of mortgage financing
       and the issuance of 152,238 OP&amp;#160;Units with a fair value at
       the date of issuance of $5.0&amp;#160;million. NHP/PMB acquired a
       69% interest in a joint venture which is consolidated by NHP/PMB
       that owns the second multi-tenant medical office building valued
       at $69.3&amp;#160;million. The acquisition was paid in a combination
       of cash, the assumption of $50.2&amp;#160;million of mortgage
       financing and the issuance of 121,489 OP&amp;#160;Units with a fair
       value at the date of issuance of $4.0&amp;#160;million.
       Additionally, as of March&amp;#160;1, 2010, we acquired the
       remaining interest in PMB SB (see Note&amp;#160;6).
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: transparent"&gt;
       The amendment to the Contribution Agreement dated as of
       March&amp;#160;1, 2010 also eliminated one of the two remaining
       properties from the Contribution Agreement, however, we
       concurrently entered into a joint venture with PMB Pasadena LLC
       (an entity affiliated with Pacific Medical Buildings
       LLC)&amp;#160;to acquire this property (see
       &lt;i&gt;&lt;font style="white-space: nowrap"&gt;NHP/PMB&lt;/font&gt;
       Pasadena LLC &lt;/i&gt;below). As a result of the elimination of this
       property from the Contribution Agreement, NHP/PMB became
       obligated to pay $2.1&amp;#160;million (the &amp;#8220;2010 Premium
       Adjustment&amp;#8221;), of which $1.9&amp;#160;million was payable to
       Pacific Medical Buildings LLC in cash. The portion of the 2010
       Premium Adjustment not payable to Pacific Medical Buildings LLC
       was paid in the form of $0.1&amp;#160;million in cash and the
       issuance of 1,788 additional OP&amp;#160;Units with an aggregate
       value of $57,000. As a result of the payment, we received an
       additional 4,514 Class&amp;#160;B limited partnership units in
       NHP/PMB. Under the Contribution Agreement, if the agreement is
       terminated with respect to the remaining development property,
       NHP/PMB will become obligated to pay approximately
       $2.4&amp;#160;million (the &amp;#8220;Future Premium Adjustment&amp;#8221;)
       which has been accrued as of December&amp;#160;31, 2010 and of which
       a portion would be payable to Pacific Medical Buildings LLC.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: transparent"&gt;
       Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, a portion of the
       consideration for the multi-tenant medical office buildings is
       paid in the form of OP&amp;#160;Units. After a one-year holding
       period, the OP&amp;#160;Units are exchangeable for cash or, at our
       option, shares of our common stock equal to the REIT
       Shares&amp;#160;Amount. During 2010, 30,166 OP&amp;#160;Units were
       converted into 30,166&amp;#160;shares of our common stock. During
       2009, 202,361 OP&amp;#160;Units were converted into
       202,361&amp;#160;shares of our common stock. As of December&amp;#160;31,
       2010, 1,599,586 of the remaining OP&amp;#160;Units had been
       outstanding for one year or longer and were exchangeable for
       cash of $58.2&amp;#160;million. During 2010 and 2009, cash
       distributions from NHP/PMB of $3.6&amp;#160;million and
       $3.1&amp;#160;million, respectively, were made to OP unitholders.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;

       Additionally, we have entered into an agreement (the
       &amp;#8220;Pipeline Agreement&amp;#8221;) with NHP/PMB, PMB LLC and PMBRES
       (see Note&amp;#160;6)&amp;#160;pursuant to which we or NHP/PMB currently
       have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire up to
       approximately $1.3&amp;#160;billion of multi-tenant medical office
       buildings developed by PMB LLC through April 2019. As of
       February&amp;#160;1, 2010, the Pipeline Agreement was amended and
       restated to provide NHP/PMB with the option to acquire medical
       office buildings developed in the future through a joint venture
       between NHP and PMB LLC, obligate us to provide or arrange
       financing for approved developments and provide us with improved
       terms, including preferred returns, a reduction in PMB
       LLC&amp;#8217;s promote interest and acquisition pricing determined
       at the time of acquisition rather than at the pre-development
       stage. As of September&amp;#160;23, 2010, we entered into a joint
       venture with PMB Mission Hills 1 LLC (an entity affiliated with
       Pacific Medical Buildings LLC)&amp;#160;to develop a medical office
       building with a total budget of $53.0&amp;#160;million (see &lt;i&gt;PDP
       Mission Hills 1 LLC &lt;/i&gt;below) in accordance with the terms of
       the Pipeline Agreement. We concurrently entered into an
       agreement with NHP/PMB, PMB LLC
   and PMB Mission Hills 1 LLC under which the interests in the
       joint venture will be contributed to NHP/PMB subsequent to
       completion of development in accordance with the terms of the
       Pipeline Agreement.
   &lt;/div&gt;

       During 2010 and 2009, NHP/PMB funded $0.7&amp;#160;million and
       $0.2&amp;#160;million, respectively, in capital and tenant
       improvements at certain facilities.
   &lt;/div&gt;

       As of February&amp;#160;1, 2010, we entered into a joint venture
       with PMB Gilbert LLC (an entity affiliated with Pacific Medical
       Buildings LLC)&amp;#160;called NHP/PMB Gilbert LLC (&amp;#8220;Gilbert
       JV&amp;#8221;) to acquire a multi-tenant medical office building. PMB
       Gilbert LLC contributed the multi-tenant medical office building
       to Gilbert JV, and we contributed $6.3&amp;#160;million in cash.
       Additionally, we agreed to loan Gilbert JV up to
       $8.8&amp;#160;million as project financing at an interest rate of
       7.00%, including $6.8&amp;#160;million that was disbursed initially
       and remains outstanding as of December&amp;#160;31, 2010. We hold a
       71.17% equity interest in the joint venture and PMB Gilbert LLC
       holds a 28.83% equity interest. PMB Gilbert LLC is the managing
       member of Gilbert JV, but we consolidate the joint venture in
       our consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies
       of the joint venture are consistent with our accounting
       policies. Pursuant to a contribution agreement dated as of
       February&amp;#160;1, 2010, among us, NHP/PMB, Pacific Medical
       Buildings LLC and PMB Gilbert LLC, NHP/PMB may in the future
       acquire Gilbert JV if certain conditions are met.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: transparent"&gt;
       Net income or loss is allocated between the partners in the
       joint venture based on the hypothetical liquidation at book
       value method (the &amp;#8220;HLBV method&amp;#8221;). Under the HLBV
       method, net income or loss is allocated between the partners
       based on the difference between each partner&amp;#8217;s claim on the
       net assets of the partnership at the end and beginning of the
       period, after taking into account contributions and
       distributions. Each partner&amp;#8217;s share of the net assets of
       the partnership is calculated as the amount that the partner
       would receive if the partnership were to liquidate all of its
       assets at net book value and distribute the resulting cash to
       creditors and partners in accordance with their respective
       priorities. Under this method, in any given period, we could be
       recording more or less income than the joint venture has
       generated or more or less income than actual cash distributions
       received and more or less than what we may receive in the event
       of an actual liquidation. During 2010, operating cash
       distributions from Gilbert JV of $0.2&amp;#160;million and $4,000
       were made to us and to PMB Gilbert LLC, respectively.
   &lt;/div&gt;

       During 2010, Gilbert JV funded $0.1&amp;#160;million in capital and
       tenant improvements at certain facilities.
   &lt;/div&gt;

       Pasadena LLC contributed the multi-tenant medical office
       building to Pasadena JV, and we contributed $13.5&amp;#160;million
       in cash. Additionally, we provided Pasadena JV with a

       $49.8&amp;#160;million has been funded, and a $3.0&amp;#160;million
       mezzanine loan at an interest rate of 15.00%, both of which
       remain outstanding as of December&amp;#160;31, 2010. We hold a 71%
       equity interest in the joint venture and PMB Pasadena LLC holds
       a 29% equity interest. PMB Pasadena LLC is the managing member

       2010, among us, NHP/PMB, Pacific Medical Buildings LLC and PMB
       Pasadena LLC, NHP/PMB may in the future acquire Pasadena JV if

       As of September&amp;#160;23, 2010, we entered into a joint venture

       Cash distributions from McShane/NHP are made in accordance with
       the members&amp;#8217; ownership interests and will continue to be
