On November 1, 2010, Emeritus Corporation (“Emeritus” or the “Company”) entered into agreements with Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. (“NHP”) to amend the terms of two loans payable to NHP.

The Fourth Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2010, between Emeritus and NHP, (the “Fourth Amendment”) modifies that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated March 3, 2005, as amended, evidenced by that certain Second Amended and Restated Note dated March 3, 2005 in the amount of approximately $21.4 million (the “First Note”).  The Fourth Amendment extends the maturity date of the First Note from March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2017.

The Amended and Restated Promissory Note, dated as of November 1, 2010, between Emeritus and NHP, amends that certain promissory note dated as of March 31, 2008 in the amount of $30.0 million (the “Second Note”), pursuant to which the maturity date was extended from April 2, 2012 to March 31, 2017.

The interest rate for both the First Note and Second Note, as amended (together the “Notes”), is 8.50%, increasing annually on the anniversary date of each of the Notes, respectively, by 0.15%.  Monthly payments on the Notes are interest only, with the unpaid principal balance due at maturity.  The Notes may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without penalty upon 180 days written notice (but not more than 240 days) and payment of accrued interest.

The foregoing description of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment and the Second Note, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.75.03 and 10.75.04 and are incorporated herein by reference.
