Conversion Rights:
  (i)   Prior to maturity or earlier redemption or repurchase, holders may surrender their notes for conversion during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2007, if the closing sale price of HCN common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 120% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.
 
       
 
  (ii)   Prior to maturity or earlier redemption or repurchase, during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the “note measurement period”) in which the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes was equal to or less than 97% of the average conversion value of the notes during the note measurement period.
 
       
 
  (iii)   Prior to maturity, if Health Care REIT, Inc. calls the notes for redemption
 
       
 
  (iv)   Prior to maturity, upon occurrence of certain corporate transactions
 
       
 
  (v)   The notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from, and including, June 15, 2012 to, and including, July 15, 2012 and at any time from, and including, June 15, 2027 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2027 or earlier redemption or repurchase.
 
       
Payment Upon Conversion:   Upon conversion, holders will receive, per $1,000 principal amount being converted, a “settlement amount” that is equal to the sum of the “daily settlement amounts” for each of the 20 trading days during the “cash settlement averaging period”. The “cash settlement averaging period” with respect to any note means (i) for any note converted at any time on or after the 23rd scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date, the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including the 20th scheduled trading day prior to maturity and (ii) in all other instances, the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, the third trading day following the conversion date.
 
       
    The “daily settlement amount” for each of the 20 trading days during the cash settlement averaging period consists of (a) cash equal to the lesser of $50 and the “daily conversion value”; and (b) to the extent the daily conversion value exceeds $50, a number of shares equal to the excess of the daily conversion value over $50 divided by the volume-weighted average price (as defined) (“vwap”) per share of HCN common stock on that trading day.
    The “daily conversion value” on a given trading day means 1/20 of the product of the applicable conversion rate and the vwap per share of HCN common stock on that trading day.
 
       
Dividend Protection and Anti-Dilution Adjustments:   Dividend protection—Adjustment upon quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.66 per share to holders of HCN common stock. Anti-dilution protection also covers stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations and reclassifications of common stock, distributions of certain rights and warrants, distributions in kind and certain tender and exchange offers, all as described in the preliminary prospectus supplement.
 
       
Conversion Rate
Adjustment Upon a
Make-Whole Fundamental
Change:
  If a make-whole fundamental change (as defined) occurs prior to July 15, 2012 and a holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a make-whole fundamental change, Health Care REIT will increase the applicable conversion rate for the Notes surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of HCN common stock. If the transaction provides the holders of HCN common stock with the right to receive more than a single type of consideration determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, the holders of the Notes, treated as a single class, will be given a reasonable opportunity to elect the form of such consideration.

  If the Applicable Price is between two Applicable Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the two Applicable Prices, or for the two Effective Dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable. In addition, if the actual Applicable Price is greater than $120.00 per share (subject to adjustment), the conversion rate will not be increased in connection with that make-whole fundamental change. If the actual Applicable Price is less than $40.40 per share (subject to adjustment), the conversion rate will not be increased in connection with that make-whole fundamental change. Issuer will not increase the conversion rate pursuant to the Make-Whole Table set forth above to the extent that the increase will cause the conversion rate to exceed 24.7525 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Issuer will adjust this maximum conversion rate in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, Issuer adjusts the conversion rate.
 
   
Put Upon a Fundamental
Change:
  If a fundamental change (as defined) occurs, each holder will have the right, at its option, to require HCN to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the holder’s notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
