THE BONDS AND THE INTEREST THEREON DO NOT AND SHALL NEVER CONSTITUTE A DEBT OR AN INDEBTEDNESS OR AN OBLIGATION OF THE COMMISSION, THE STATE, OR ANY COUNTY, CITY OR OTHER MUNICIPAL OR POLITICAL CORPORATION OR SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE, OR A LOAN OF THE FAITH OR CREDIT OR THE TAXING POWER OF ANY OF THEM, WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY PROVISIONS, NOR SHALL THE BONDS BE CONSTRUED TO CREATE ANY MORAL OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF THE COMMISSION, THE STATE, OR ANY COUNTY, CITY OR OTHER MUNICIPAL OR POLITICAL CORPORATION OR SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE WITH RESPECT TO THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS. THE BONDS SHALL NOT BE PAYABLE FROM THE GENERAL REVENUES OF THE COMMISSION, AND NEITHER THE COMMISSION NOR THE STATE NOR ANY POLITICAL CORPORATION, SUBDIVISION OR AGENCY THEREOF WILL BE LIABLE THEREON, NOR IN ANY EVENT SHALL THE BONDS BE PAYABLE OUT OF ANY FUNDS OR PROPERTIES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFICALLY PLEDGED THEREFOR.

THE OBLIGATED GROUP AND THE MASTER INDENTURE Upon issuance of the Bonds, the Borrowers will be the only Members of the Obligated Group created under the Master Indenture (as defined below). The Borrowers and any future Members of the Obligated Group will be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations issued pursuant to the Master Indenture, including the Series 2016 Obligations (as defined below) securing the Bonds. PRCN is currently the only Member of the Obligated Group created by that certain Master Trust Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2013 (as previously supplemented and amended, the “Original PRCN Master Indenture”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as master trustee (the “Master Trustee”). Pursuant to the Original PRCN Master Indenture, PRCN has previously issued its Direct Note Obligation No. 1 (the “Series 2013 Obligation”), $7,295,000 of which is currently outstanding, to secure the $14,840,000 original principal amount Washington State Housing Finance Commission Nonprofit Housing Revenue and Refunding Revenue Bonds (Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest Project), Series 2013. Skyline is currently the only member of an obligated group created by that certain Master Trust Indenture dated as of January 1, 2007 (as supplemented and amended, the “Skyline Master Indenture”) between Skyline and U.S. Bank National Association, as master trustee. Pursuant to the Skyline Master Indenture, Skyline has issued notes to secure indebtedness, certain of which are outstanding as of the date hereof: the Direct Note Obligation, Series 2007A (the “Series 2007A Skyline Note”), $98,930,000 of which is currently outstanding, to secure the Series 2007A Bonds, and the Direct Note Obligation, Series 2015 (the “Series 2015 Skyline Note”), $8,525,000 of which is currently outstanding, to secure the $8,740,000 original principal amount Washington State Housing Finance Commission Nonprofit Housing Revenue and Refunding Revenue Bonds (Skyline at First Hill Project), Series 2015. Concurrently with the issuance of the Bonds and the refunding of the Series 2007A Bonds, (a) the Series 2007A Skyline Note will be canceled, (b) Skyline will become a Member of the Obligated Group under the PRCN Master Indenture (as defined below), (c) PRCN, as Obligated Group Representative, will issue the Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest Direct Note Obligation No. 4 (the “Series 2015 Obligation”) in substitution for the Series 2015 Skyline Note, (d) the Series 2015 Skyline Note will be cancelled and (e) the Skyline Master Indenture will be discharged. Concurrently with the issuance of the Bonds and the refinancing of the HUD Loan, Fred Lind Manor will also become a Member of the Obligated Group under the PRCN Master Indenture. PRCN will issue the Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest Direct Note Obligation No. 2 (the “Series 2016A Obligation”) under a Second Supplemental Master Trust Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2016 (the “Second Supplemental Master Indenture” and, together with the Original PRCN Master Indenture, the “Master
ii
Indenture” or the “PRCN Master Indenture”), evidencing the Borrowers’ obligation under the Loan Agreement to pay principal and interest on the Series 2016A Bonds when due. PRCN will also issue the Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest Direct Note Obligation No. 3 (the “Series 2016B Obligation” and, together with the Series 2016A Obligation, the “Series 2016 Obligations”) under the Second Supplemental Master Indenture, evidencing the Borrowers’ obligation under the Loan Agreement to pay principal and interest on the Series 2016B Bonds when due. Following the issuance of the Bonds, the Series 2013 Obligation, the Series 2015 Obligation and the Series 2016 Obligations will be the only Obligations outstanding under the Master Indenture.
ONLY THE BORROWERS AND THE FUTURE MEMBERS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP, IF ANY, ARE OBLIGATED UNDER THE SERIES 2016 OBLIGATIONS, WHICH EVIDENCE THE BORROWERS’ OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT. NO AFFILIATES OF THE BORROWERS WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP ARE OBLIGATED UNDER THE SERIES 2016 OBLIGATIONS OR WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR THE BONDS.
For more information about the Obligated Group, see APPENDIX A — “INFORMATION CONCERNING PRESBYTERIAN RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES NORTHWEST OBLIGATED GROUP.” For more information about the Series 2016 Obligations and the Master Indenture, see “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS” and “CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE” herein and APPENDIX E — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST.”
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS The Bonds will be payable from payments made by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement, from payments made by the Obligated Group on the Series 2016 Obligations and from certain funds held under the Bond Indenture. The Bonds will be limited obligations of the Commission and will be secured by the Revenues received by the Commission in accordance with the Bond Indenture, including payments made pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the Series 2016 Obligations. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Master Indenture, the Obligated Group agrees to make payments on the Series 2016A Obligation, which are payable at the same time and in the same amount as payments due under the Loan Agreement and on the Series 2016A Bonds, and on the Series 2016B Obligation, which are payable at the same time and in the same amount as payments due under the Loan Agreement and on the Series 2016B Bonds. The Commission will pledge and assign the Series 2016 Obligations and certain of its rights under the Loan Agreement (other than certain rights retained by the Commission) to the Bond Trustee as security for the Bonds. The Series 2016 Obligations will entitle the Bond Trustee, as the holder thereof, to the protection of the covenants, restrictions and other obligations imposed by the Master Indenture upon the Borrowers and any other Person which may become a Member of the Obligated Group in the future. The obligations to make payments on the Series 2016 Obligations are absolute and unconditional, joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and the future Members of the Obligated Group, if any. The Series 2016 Obligations and all other Obligations previously and subsequently issued under the Master Indenture will be secured by (i) a security interest in the Gross Revenues of the Obligated Group (see “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — Security Interest in Gross Revenues under the Master Indenture”) and (ii) a mortgage and security interest in the real and personal property comprising each of the Mortgaged Facilities pledged pursuant to the 2016 Deeds of Trust described under the heading “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — 2016 Deeds of Trust” herein. See APPENDIX E — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST.” The Bond Indenture establishes the Debt Service Reserve Fund to be held thereunder by the Bond Trustee and two subaccounts therein — the Reserve Account (Series 2016A Bonds) and the Reserve Account (Series 2016B Bonds).

CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP In addition to the covenants described below, the Master Indenture contains additional covenants relating to, among others, the maintenance of the Borrowers’ property, corporate existence, the maintenance of certain levels of insurance coverage, and the sale or lease of certain property. For a full description of these and other covenants, see APPENDIX E — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST.” Rate Covenant. Each Member covenants and agrees in the Master Indenture to operate all of its Property in the aggregate on a revenue-producing basis and to charge such fees and rates for its facilities and services and to exercise such skill and diligence, including obtaining payment for services provided, as to provide income from its facilities together with other available funds sufficient to pay promptly all payments of principal and interest on its Indebtedness, all expenses of operation, maintenance and repair of its Property and all other payments required to be made by it under the Master Indenture to the extent permitted by law. Each Member further covenants and agrees that it will from time to time as often as necessary and to the extent permitted by law, revise its rates, fees and charges in such manner as may be necessary or proper to comply with the provisions of the Master Indenture. Within 150 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Obligated Group Representative shall compute Income Available for Debt Service, Annual Debt Service, and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and promptly furnish to the Required Information Recipients (as defined herein) a Certificate setting forth the results of such computation. If the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Obligated Group for any Fiscal Year is less than 1.20:1, the Master Trustee shall require the Obligated Group, at the Obligated Group’s expense, to retain an Independent Consultant within 30 days following the calculation described in the immediately preceding paragraph to make recommendations with respect to the rates, fees and charges of the Obligated Group’s methods of operation and other factors affecting its financial condition in order to increase such Debt Service Coverage Ratio to at least 1.20:1 for the following Fiscal Year. For purposes of calculations under these provisions of the Master Indenture, an unrestricted contribution from any Affiliate of any Member of the Obligated Group may, at the sole discretion of the Obligated Group Representative, be treated as Income Available for Debt Service being earned during the period of such calculation so long as the unrestricted contribution is made prior to the date the applicable Certificate is required to be delivered with respect to such calculation. If the unrestricted contribution is counted in a period prior to the date of such transfer in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall not be included in the calculation for the period in which such contribution was actually made. If a written report of an Independent Consultant is delivered to the Master Trustee stating that Industry Restrictions have made it impossible for the ratio to be met, then such ratio shall be reduced to 1.00:1 for such Fiscal Year and determined by computing the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for such Fiscal Year. A copy of the Independent Consultant’s report and recommendations, if any, shall be filed with each of the Required Information Recipients within 60 days of retaining the Independent Consultant. Each Member shall follow each recommendation of the Independent Consultant applicable to it to the extent feasible (as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Governing Body of such Member) and permitted by law. This provision of the Master Indenture shall not be construed to prohibit any Member from serving indigent persons to the extent required for such Member to continue its qualification as a Tax-Exempt Organization or from serving any other class or classes of persons without charge or at reduced rates so long as such service does not prevent the Obligated Group from satisfying the other requirements of this provision of the Master Indenture. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Master Indenture, an Event of Default arising from the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall only occur thereunder if one or more of the following conditions applies: (1) the Obligated Group (a) fails to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.20:1, and (b) fails to take all necessary action to comply with the procedures set forth in this provision of the Master Indenture for preparing a report, adopting a plan, and following all recommendations contained in such report or plan to the extent feasible (as determined by the Governing Body of the Obligated Group Representative) and permitted by law; or (2) the Obligated Group fails to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00:1 for any Fiscal Year and the Days
iv
Cash on Hand of the Obligated Group as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than 150 days; or (3) the Obligated Group fails to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00:1 for two consecutive Fiscal Years.
See “CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE — Rates and Charges; Debt Coverage” herein and APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Rates and Charges; Debt Coverage.” Liquidity Covenant. The Obligated Group covenants in the Master Indenture that it will calculate the Days Cash on Hand of the Obligated Group as of September 30 and March 31 of each Fiscal Year (each such date being a “Testing Date”). The Obligated Group shall include such calculations in the Officer’s Certificates that are delivered for the fiscal quarters ending September 30 and March 31 pursuant to the Master Indenture. Each Obligated Group Member is required to conduct its business so that on each Testing Date the Obligated Group shall have not less than 150 Days Cash on Hand. If the amount of Days Cash on Hand as of any Testing Date is less than 150, the Obligated Group Representative shall, within 30 days after receipt of the Officer’s Certificate disclosing such deficiency, deliver an Officer’s Certificate approved by a resolution of the Governing Body of the Obligated Group Representative to the Master Trustee setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such deficiency and adopting a specific plan setting forth steps to be taken designed to achieve the required level of Days Cash on Hand for future periods. If the Obligated Group has not achieved 150 Days Cash on Hand by the next Testing Date following delivery of the Officer’s Certificate required in the preceding paragraph, the Obligated Group Representative shall, within 30 days after receipt of the Officer’s Certificate disclosing such deficiency, retain an Independent Consultant to make recommendations with respect to the rates, fees and charges of the Obligated Group and the Obligated Group’s methods of operation and other factors affecting its financial condition in order to increase the Days Cash on Hand to the required level for future periods. A copy of the Independent Consultant’s report and recommendations, if any, shall be filed with each of the Required Information Recipients within 60 days of the date such Independent Consultant is retained. Each Member of the Obligated Group shall follow each recommendation of the Independent Consultant applicable to it to the extent feasible (as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Governing Body of the Member) and permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Master Indenture, failure of the Obligated Group to achieve the required liquidity covenant for any Fiscal Year shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Master Indenture if the Obligated Group takes all action necessary to comply with the procedures set forth above for preparing a report and adopting a plan and follows each recommendation contained in such report to the extent feasible (as determined by the Governing Body of the Obligated Group Representative) and permitted by law.
See “CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE — Liquidity Covenant” herein and APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Liquidity Covenant.” Limitations on Additional Indebtedness and on Encumbrances. The Master Indenture defines Additional Indebtedness as any Indebtedness incurred subsequent to the execution and delivery of the Master Indenture. Pursuant to the Master Indenture, each Member agrees that it will not incur any Additional Indebtedness except as permitted therein. See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Limitations on Additional Indebtedness” for further information about the various incurrence tests. The Master Indenture also prohibits any Member from creating, assuming or permitting to exist any Lien upon its Property (including, without limitation, the Gross Revenues) other than Permitted Encumbrances. Further, each Member covenants and agrees in the Master Indenture that, if such a Lien is created or assumed by any Member, the Member will make or cause to be made effective a provision whereby all Obligations will be secured prior to any such Indebtedness or other obligation secured by such Lien. See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS” for the definitions of Property, Lien and Permitted Encumbrances.

Approval of Consultants. If at any time the Obligated Group is required to engage an Independent Consultant to calculate Days Cash on Hand of the Obligated Group or to make the calculations required by the provisions of the Master Indenture summarized under the caption “Rate Covenant” above, the Independent Consultant shall be engaged in the manner set forth in “CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE — Approval of Consultants” herein and APPENDIX E—“SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Approval of Consultants.”

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE Financial Reporting. The Master Indenture requires that the Members of the Obligated Group provide to each Required Information Recipient certain financial information. For a description of the financial information required to be provided, see “CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE - Reporting Requirements” herein.

Accordingly, the Commission is not providing any financial or operating data. However, PRCN, on behalf of the Obligated Group, has agreed to make certain financial information and operating data available to holders of the Bonds as described under “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE” herein. PRCN is solely responsible for providing such disclosure, and the Commission shall have no responsibility or liability to the holders of the Bonds or any other person for the making, monitoring or content of such disclosures.
RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN THE BONDS INVOLVES A CERTAIN DEGREE OF RISK INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH UNDER THE HEADING “RISK FACTORS” HEREIN. A PROSPECTIVE BONDHOLDER IS ADVISED TO READ “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS” AND “RISK FACTORS” FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN RISK FACTORS WHICH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE BONDS. Careful consideration should be given to these risks and other risks described elsewhere in this Official Statement. Among other things, careful evaluation should be made of management’s assumptions and rationale described in the Financial Feasibility Study, and certain factors that may adversely affect the ability of the Borrowers to generate sufficient revenues to pay expenses of operation, including the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.

SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS
The Bonds will be payable from payments made by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement, from payments made by the Obligated Group on the Series 2016 Obligations and from certain funds held under the Bond Indenture. The Bonds will be limited obligations of the Commission and will be secured by the Revenues received by the Commission in accordance with the Bond Indenture, including payments made pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the
4
Series 2016 Obligations. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Master Indenture, the Obligated Group agrees to make payments on the Series 2016A Obligation, which are payable at the same time and in the same amount as payments due under the Loan Agreement and on the Series 2016A Bonds, and on the Series 2016B Obligation, which are payable at the same time and in the same amount as payments due under the Loan Agreement and on the Series 2016B Bonds.
The Commission will pledge and assign the Series 2016 Obligations and certain of its rights under the Loan Agreement (other than certain rights retained by the Commission) to the Bond Trustee as security for the Bonds. The Series 2016 Obligations will entitle the Bond Trustee, as the holder thereof, to the protection of the covenants, restrictions and other obligations imposed by the Master Indenture upon the Borrowers and any other Person which may become a Member of the Obligated Group in the future. The obligations to make payments on the Series 2016 Obligations are absolute and unconditional, joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and the future Members of the Obligated Group, if any.
The Series 2016 Obligations and all other Obligations previously and subsequently issued under the Master Indenture will be secured by (i) a security interest in the Gross Revenues of the Obligated Group (see “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — Security Interest in Gross Revenues under the Master Indenture”) and (ii) a mortgage and security interest in the real and personal property comprising each of the Mortgaged Facilities pledged pursuant to the 2016 Deeds of Trust described under the heading “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — 2016 Deeds of Trust” below. See APPENDIX E — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST.”
Notwithstanding such security interest in the Obligated Group’s Gross Revenues and the 2016 Deeds of Trust, the Members of the Obligated Group may sell or otherwise transfer Gross Revenues and create Permitted Encumbrances thereon in accordance with the provisions of the Master Indenture. See “RISK FACTORS — Certain Matters Relating to Enforceability” and “— Certain Risks Associated with the 2016 Deeds of Trust” herein and APPENDIX E — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Limitations on Encumbrances.”

THE BONDS
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Bonds. Reference is made to the Bonds for the complete text thereof and to the Bond Indenture for a more detailed description of these provisions. The discussion herein is qualified by such reference. Certain capitalized terms used herein that are taken from the Bond Indenture have the meaning set forth in APPENDIX D.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess of $100,000 within a maturity except as otherwise described under “Limitations on Investors and Restrictions on Transfers” below. The Bonds will bear interest from their dated date and shall be payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing January 1, 2017. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months at the respective rates per annum and will mature, subject to earlier redemption, in the amounts and on the dates set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement. The Bonds will be dated their date of issuance.
LIMITED OBLIGATIONS
The Bonds and the interest thereon are not and shall never become general obligations of the Commission but are special, limited obligations payable by the Commission solely and only from the Revenues and other security pledged under the Bond Indenture for such purpose, which Revenues, together with any such other security provided in the Bond Indenture, are specifically and irrevocably granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, transferred, alienated, assigned and pledged to such purposes in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bond Indenture. The Bonds and the interest thereon do not and shall never constitute a debt or an indebtedness or an obligation of the Commission, the State, or any county, city or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of the State, or a loan of the faith or credit or the taxing power of any of them, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions, nor shall the Bonds be construed to create any moral obligation on the part of the Commission, the State, or any county, city or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of the State with respect to the payment of the Bonds. The Bonds shall not be payable from the general revenues of the Commission, and neither the Commission nor the State nor any political corporation, subdivision or agency thereof will be liable thereon, nor in any event shall the Bonds be payable out of any funds or properties other than those specifically pledged therefor. The Commission has no taxing power.
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
When the Bonds are issued, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) will act as securities depository. Thereafter, the Bonds will be registered in the book-entry only system (the “Book-Entry System”) maintained by DTC. For so long as Outstanding Bonds are registered in
10
the name of Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, as nominee of DTC, then DTC, its successor or any substitute depository appointed by the Commission shall be deemed to be the Registered Owner of the Bonds, and payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall be made at the place and in the manner provided in the Letter of Representations from the Commission accepted by DTC. Neither the Commission, the Borrowers, the Bond Trustee nor U.S. Bank National Association, as registrar (the “Bond Registrar”), shall have any responsibility or obligation to DTC participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees with respect to the Bonds regarding accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or DTC participants of any amount in respect of principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds, or any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Registered Owners under the Bond Indenture (except such notice as is required to be given by the Commission, the Bond Registrar or the Bond Trustee to DTC). For more information on the Book-Entry System, see APPENDIX H hereto. If the Book-Entry System is discontinued, the provisions of the following two paragraphs will apply.
The principal of, and premium, if any, on the Bonds will be payable upon the presentation and surrender of each such Bond, when due, at the Principal Office of the Bond Trustee, as Bond Registrar. Interest payments on each Bond will be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Registered Owner thereof appearing on the registration books of the Commission kept by the Bond Trustee to evidence the registration and transfer of the Bonds (the “Bond Register”) on the Record Date. “Record Date” means, except for the payment of defaulted interest, the opening of business on the fifteenth day of the month preceding a scheduled Interest Payment Date.
Interest on the Bonds shall, except as hereinafter provided, be paid (a) by check or draft of the Bond Trustee mailed by first-class mail to such Registered Owner on the Interest Payment Date at his address as it appears on the Bond Register on the Record Date or, at the option of any Registered Owner, (b) by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by such Registered Owner prior to the Record Date with an acknowledgment that the then-applicable wire fee of the Bond Trustee will be deducted from the wire, or (c) by Automatic Clearinghouse Transfers at no cost to the Owner in next day funds if such Owner shall have requested in writing a payment by such method and shall have provided the Bond Registrar with an account number in a bank within the United States and other necessary information for such purposes prior to the Record Date.
In the event of a default in the payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest shall be payable to the Registered Owner of such Bond on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest established by notice mailed by or on behalf of the Commission to Registered Owners.
LIMITATIONS ON INVESTORS AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
Although the Bonds are not being issued under, and shall not be deemed to be issued under, Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Commission requires that the initial investors in the Bonds, and any subsequent purchasers, be “Qualified Institutional Buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A. Each registered owner
11
or beneficial owner of a Bond agrees by purchase of a Bond to abide by this limitation. The Commission may remove such limitation without prior notice to or consent of any owner of a Bond. The Commission’s requirement that purchasers of the Bonds be Qualified Institutional Buyers will cease to be in effect if the Bonds are rated “A” or better by a Rating Agency (without regard to subcategories); at such time, the Bonds may be sold in denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof and without restrictions as to investors. There is no requirement in the Master Indenture, or in any other document, that the Borrowers or any other Member of the Obligated Group, if any, the Commission or the Underwriter seek a rating of “A” or better on the Bonds.

14
OBLIGATED GROUP — Obligated Group Communities” for further information about the Mortgaged Facilities.

The Series 2016A Bonds shall be subject to extraordinary mandatory redemption by the Commission prior to their scheduled maturities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest from the most recent Interest Payment Date to the redemption date on any date following the receipt by the Bond Trustee of written notice from the Commission, the Borrowers or Bond Counsel of a Determination of Taxability or in order to prevent a Determination of Taxability (in the amount determined by Bond Counsel to be necessary to preserve the tax-exemption of interest on Series 2016A Bonds which will remain Outstanding thereafter, if any). See APPENDIX D— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PRINCIPAL BOND DOCUMENTS — CERTAIN DEFINITIONS” for the definition of “Determination of Taxability.”
Notice of Redemption. The Bond Trustee shall give notice of redemption pursuant to the Bond Indenture not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. So long as the Bonds are held in fully immobilized form by DTC, notice of redemption shall be given to Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC and the Registered Owner of the Bonds, in accordance with the Letter of Representations. See APPENDIX H— “BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM” for further information. Such notice shall state the redemption date, the redemption price, the place at which the Bonds are to be surrendered for payment, that from the redemption date interest on the Bonds to be redeemed will cease to accrue so long as funds for such payment are available to the Bond Trustee, and, if less than all of the Bonds Outstanding are to be redeemed, an identification of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed and, if applicable, provision that the notice is rescindable. Notice of any optional redemption may be given on a conditional basis if redemption is subject to the scheduled closing of refunding bonds. Further, notice of any optional redemption shall be deemed to have been given conditionally if, for any reason, the Bond Trustee does not have sufficient moneys in its possession on the date set for redemption to effect such optional redemption. Any notice given pursuant to the provisions of the Bond Indenture summarized in this paragraph may be rescinded by written notice given to the Bond Trustee by the Borrower Representative no later than five Business Days prior to the date specified for redemption. The Bond Trustee shall give notice of such rescission as soon thereafter as practicable in the same manner, and to the same Persons, as notice of such redemption was given pursuant to the provisions of the Bond Indenture summarized in this paragraph.
Partial Redemption. All or a portion of any Bond may be redeemed, but only in a principal amount equal to an Authorized Denomination. In the event of a partial redemption pursuant to the provisions in the Bond Indenture related to optional redemption, mandatory redemption, mandatory sinking fund redemption and extraordinary mandatory redemption summarized above, the maturity of Bonds up to the allocable amount shall be selected pro rata unless other written instructions are given by the Borrowers. Within each maturity, the particular Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected randomly. Upon surrender of any Bond for redemption in part, the Commission shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the
15
owner thereof a new Bond or Bonds of Authorized Denominations of the same maturity and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so surrendered.
Effect of Redemption. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Bond Indenture, the Bonds or portions thereof designated for redemption shall become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption and, unless the Commission defaults in the payment of the principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest thereon or unless such redemption was conditioned upon the issuance of refunding bonds which were not issued, or unless such notice of optional redemption was deemed to have been conditional or was rescinded as provided therein, such Bonds or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest from and after the date fixed for redemption whether or not such Bonds are presented and surrendered for payment on such date. If such optional redemption notice is cancelled or rescinded, the Bondholders shall be restored to their former positions as though no such notice of redemption had been delivered. If any Bond or portion thereof called for redemption is not so paid upon presentation and surrender thereof for redemption, such Bond or portion thereof shall continue to bear interest at the rate set forth thereon until paid or until due provision is made for the payment of same.
PURCHASE OF THE BONDS
Purchase of the Bonds in the Open Market. The Commission, at the direction of the Borrower, reserves the right to direct the Bond Trustee to acquire Bonds in the open market from amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund or from other available funds of the Borrowers. All Bonds so purchased shall be canceled.
Special Purchase of the Bonds in Lieu of Redemption. If any Bond is called for optional redemption in whole or in part, the Borrowers may elect to purchase or have purchased such Bond in lieu of redemption.
Purchase in lieu of redemption shall be available with respect to all Bonds called for optional redemption or for such lesser portion of such Bonds as constitute Authorized Denominations. The Borrowers may direct the Bond Trustee to purchase all or such lesser portion of the Bonds so called for redemption. If so directed, the Bond Trustee shall purchase such Bonds on the date which otherwise would be the redemption date of such Bonds. Any of the Bonds called for redemption that are not purchased in lieu of redemption shall be redeemed as otherwise required by the Bond Indenture on such redemption date.
On or prior to the scheduled redemption date, any direction given to the Bond Trustee to purchase Bonds in lieu of redemption may be withdrawn by the Borrowers by written notice to the Bond Trustee. Subject generally to the Bond Indenture, should a direction to purchase be withdrawn, the scheduled redemption of such Bonds shall occur.
The purchase price of the Bonds shall be equal to the outstanding principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on and the redemption premium, if any, which would have been payable on such Bonds on the scheduled redemption date for such redemption. To pay the purchase price of such Bonds, the Bond Trustee shall use (A) funds deposited by the Borrowers with the Bond Trustee for such purpose and (B) funds, if any, held under the Bond Indenture that the Bond
16
Trustee would have used to pay the outstanding principal of, accrued and interest on and the redemption premium, if any, that would have been payable on the redemption of such Bonds on the scheduled redemption date. The Bond Trustee shall not purchase the Bonds pursuant to the above provisions if, by no later than the redemption date, sufficient moneys have not been deposited with the Bond Trustee, or such moneys are deposited but are not available.
No notice of the purchase in lieu of redemption shall be required to be given to the Bondowners (other than the notice of redemption otherwise required for such Bond).
DEFEASANCE
The Bond Indenture provides that the Bonds, or any portion thereof, may be defeased prior to maturity or redemption by the deposit of cash or Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, sufficient to provide for the payment of all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds through maturity or the date upon which the Bonds will be redeemed pursuant to the Bond Indenture. Bonds that are defeased will no longer be entitled to any security under the Bond Indenture, except for the right to payment from such moneys or Government Obligations. See APPENDIX D— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PRINCIPAL BOND DOCUMENTS — Bond Indenture — Defeasance.”
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS
GENERAL
The Bonds are special, limited obligations of the Commission payable solely from certain amounts received under the Loan Agreement and the Series 2016 Obligations and the other security pledged in the Bond Indenture for such purpose. Under the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers are required to make payments upon the Series 2016A Obligation or the Series 2016B Obligation, as applicable, at such times and in such amounts so as to provide for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the related series of Bonds outstanding under the Bond Indenture when due whether upon a scheduled Interest Payment Date, at maturity or by mandatory redemption, acceleration or otherwise upon the Bonds.
The obligation of the Borrowers to make payments under the Loan Agreement is evidenced and secured by the Series 2016 Obligations of the Obligated Group issued pursuant to the Second Supplemental Master Indenture. The Borrowers are obligated, and the Borrowers together with any future Members of the Obligated Group will be jointly and severally obligated, to make payments on the Series 2016A Obligation or the Series 2016B Obligation, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the related series of Bonds when due and any other payments coming due under the Loan Agreement. The Bonds are secured by a pledge and assignment by the Commission under the Bond Indenture of the Trust Estate, which includes all of the Commission’s right, title and interest in and to the Loan Agreement and the Series 2016 Obligations. Payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds will be additionally secured by moneys deposited to the credit of the Debt Service
17
Reserve Fund, as further described under the sub-heading “The Debt Service Reserve Fund” below.
The enforcement of the obligations and agreements described in this section will depend upon the availability and enforceability of remedies. For a description of certain possible limitations on such remedies, see “RISK FACTORS.”
The Bond Indenture permits certain amendments to be made to the Bond Indenture and the Loan Agreement upon the consent of the holders of 51% or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds Outstanding, or in some instances without the consent of the owners of the Bonds. See APPENDIX D— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PRINCIPAL BOND DOCUMENTS — Bond Indenture — Supplemental Bond Indentures Not Requiring Consent of Bondowners,” “— Supplemental Bond Indentures Requiring Consent of Bondowners,” “— Amendments to Loan Documents Requiring Consent of Bondowners” and “— Amendments to Loan Documents Not Requiring Consent of Bondowners.”
LIMITED OBLIGATIONS
The Bonds and the interest thereon are not and shall never become general obligations of the Commission but are special, limited obligations payable by the Commission solely and only from the Revenues and other security pledged under the Bond Indenture for such purpose, which Revenues, together with any such other security provided in the Bond Indenture, are specifically and irrevocably granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, transferred, alienated, assigned and pledged to such purposes in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bond Indenture. The Bonds and the interest thereon do not and shall never constitute a debt or an indebtedness or an obligation of the Commission, the State, or any county, city or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of the State, or a loan of the faith or credit or the taxing power of any of them, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions, nor shall the Bonds be construed to create any moral obligation on the part of the Commission, the State, or any county, city or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of the State with respect to the payment of the Bonds. The Bonds shall not be payable from the general revenues of the Commission, and neither the Commission nor the State nor any political corporation, subdivision or agency thereof will be liable thereon, nor in any event shall the Bonds be payable out of any funds or properties other than those specifically pledged therefor. The Commission has no taxing power.
PLEDGE OF THE TRUST ESTATE UNDER THE BOND INDENTURE
In order to secure the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, the Commission pledges and assigns to the Bond Trustee pursuant to the Bond Indenture all of its right, title and interest in the Trust Estate, which includes: (a) all of the Commission’s right, title and interest in and to the Series 2016 Obligations, and all sums payable in respect of the indebtedness evidenced thereby; (b) all right, title and interest of the Commission in, to and under the Loan and the Loan Documents (see APPENDIX D—“SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PRINCIPAL BOND DOCUMENTS — Certain Definitions” for definitions of “Loan”
18
and “Loan Documents”), including all extensions and renewals of the terms thereof, except the Commission’s retained rights; (c) all amounts held on deposit from time to time by the Bond Trustee in any Fund or Account established pursuant to the Bond Indenture, together with investment earnings thereon (see APPENDIX D—“SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PRINCIPAL BOND DOCUMENTS — Bond Indenture — Funds and Accounts”), but excluding (i) money held by the Bond Trustee in the Cost of Issuance Fund and the Rebate Fund and (ii) money collected pursuant to reimbursement or indemnification of the Commission and the Bond Trustee; and (d) any and all other property of any name and nature from time to time pledged or assigned to the Bond Trustee as and for additional security under the Bond Indenture.
THE DEBT SERVICE RESERVE FUND
The Bond Indenture establishes the Debt Service Reserve Fund to be held thereunder by the Bond Trustee and two subaccounts therein — the Reserve Account (Series 2016A Bonds) and the Reserve Account (Series 2016B Bonds). Upon issuance of the Bonds, the Bond Trustee shall deposit a portion of the proceeds of the Series 2016A Bonds into the Reserve Account (Series 2016A Bonds) to meet the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the Series 2016A Bonds and shall deposit a portion of the proceeds of the Series 2016B Bonds into the Reserve Account (Series 2016B Bonds) to meet the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the Series 2016B Bonds. Money on deposit in the Reserve Account (Series 2016A Bonds) shall be used to provide a debt service reserve for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2016A Bonds, but shall not be used to pay principal of or interest on the Series 2016B Bonds. Money on deposit in the Reserve Account (Series 2016B Bonds) shall be used to provide a debt service reserve for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2016B Bonds, but shall not be used to pay principal of or interest on the Series 2016A Bonds.

The Bond Indenture provides that the Debt Service Reserve Assets are irrevocably pledged and shall be used by the Bond Trustee, to the extent required, in the following order of priority:
(1) (i) To the extent that money is available in the Reserve Account (Series 2016A Bonds), such money shall be transferred, if necessary, on an Interest Payment Date to the Rebate Fund or the Debt Service Fund, in that order, for the purposes of paying the Rebate Amounts, or interest and the principal on the Series 2016A Bonds due on such date in the event there is a deficiency in such accounts for such payments; provided, that such transfer shall be made from any available cash or the proceeds from the liquidation of any available investments in the Reserve Account (Series 2016A Bonds), which transfer shall be made, if possible, in sufficient time to prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Bond Indenture;
(ii) To the extent that money is available in the Reserve Account (Series 2016B Bonds), such money shall be transferred, if necessary, on an Interest Payment Date to the Debt Service Fund for the purposes of paying interest and the principal on the Series 2016B Bonds due on such date in the event there is a deficiency in such account for such payments; provided, that such transfer shall be made from any available cash or
19
the proceeds from the liquidation of any available investments in the Reserve Account (Series 2016B Bonds), which transfer shall be made, if possible, in sufficient time to prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Bond Indenture; and
(2) If the aggregate value of the Debt Service Reserve Assets shall exceed the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the applicable Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund on any Valuation Date, for transfer of excess money to the Debt Service Fund to be applied to the series of Bonds corresponding to such Account;
(3) If the aggregate value of the Debt Service Reserve Assets held in an Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall exceed the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for such Account as the result of any redemption or partial defeasance of the series of Bonds corresponding to such Account, for transfer of excess money to the Debt Service Fund or the escrow account into which a defeasance deposit for the partial redemption is made to be applied to the series of Bonds so redeemed or partially defeased, all as directed by the Borrowers in writing in accordance with the refunding plan for such partial defeasance;
(4) For transfer to the Debt Service Fund, when the Debt Service Reserve Assets shall be sufficient (together with funds in the Debt Service Fund) to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Outstanding Bonds, when due, whether by reason of maturity, redemption or acceleration; and
(5) On the final maturity date of a series of Bonds, any Debt Service Reserve Assets held in an Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund and allocable to that series of Bonds, shall be used to pay the principal of and interest on such Bonds on such final maturity date.
Further, the Borrowers covenant in the Loan Agreement that if, on any Valuation Date, the aggregate value of the Debt Service Reserve Assets in any Account of the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be less than 90% of the respective Debt Service Reserve Requirement as a result of a decline in the market value of the investments therein, the Borrowers are required to transfer to the Bond Trustee for deposit into such Account of the Debt Service Reserve Fund the amount necessary to restore the Debt Service Reserve Assets to the respective Debt Service Reserve Requirement within not more than 120 days following the date the Borrowers receive notice of such deficiency. The Borrowers also covenant in the Loan Agreement that, if on any Valuation Date, the amount on deposit in any Account of the Debt Service Reserve Fund is less than 100% of the respective Debt Service Reserve Requirement as a result of such Account of the Debt Service Reserve Fund having been drawn upon, the Bond Trustee shall notify the Commission and the Borrowers of such transfer and the Borrowers agree to restore the amount on deposit in such Account of the Debt Service Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the respective Debt Service Reserve Requirement by the deposit with the Bond Trustee of an amount equal to such deficiency in not more than 12 substantially equal monthly installments beginning with the first day of the seventh month after the month in which such draw occurred.

THE BORROWERS’ OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT
Under the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers are required to make payments at such times and in such amounts so as to provide for payment of the principal of, premium if any, and interest on the Bonds outstanding under the Bond Indenture when due whether upon a scheduled Interest Payment Date, at maturity or by mandatory redemption, acceleration or otherwise upon the Bonds. The Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Agreement will be evidenced and secured by the Series 2016 Obligations, which will be issued and secured under the Master Indenture. The Series 2016 Obligations will entitle the Bond Trustee, as the holder thereof, to the protection and benefit of the covenants, restrictions and other obligations imposed on the Borrowers and any other person which may become a Member of the Obligated Group in the future by the Master Indenture. See APPENDIX D— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PRINCIPAL BOND DOCUMENTS — Loan Agreement” for further information about the Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Agreement.
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE
As described under the heading “INTRODUCTION — The Obligated Group and the Master Indenture” herein, upon the issuance of the Bonds, PRCN, Skyline and Fred Lind Manor will be the Members of the Obligated Group under the Master Indenture. PRCN, as Obligated Group Representative, will issue the Series 2016 Obligations pursuant to the Master Indenture, and the Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Agreement will be evidenced and secured by the Series 2016 Obligations. The Master Indenture provides that Obligations issued under the Master Indenture are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and any future Members of the Obligated Group. The Borrowers and any future Members jointly and severally covenant and agree in the Master Indenture to pay or cause to be paid promptly all Required Payments on the dates and in the manner provided in the Master Indenture, in any Related Supplement and in the Obligations whether at maturity, upon proceedings for redemption, by acceleration or otherwise. See APPENDIX E — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST —DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS” for the definitions of Required Payments and Related Supplement.
Upon the issuance of the Bonds, the Series 2013 Obligation, the Series 2015 Obligation and the Series 2016 Obligations will be the only Obligations entitled to the benefits of, and the security pledged under, the Master Indenture. Additional Obligations may be issued in the future as provided in the Master Indenture. The holders of all Obligations entitled to the benefit of the Master Indenture will be on a parity with respect to the benefits of the Master Indenture.
The Obligations, including the Series 2016 Obligations, issued under the Master Indenture will be secured by (i) a security interest in the Gross Revenues of the Obligated Group and (ii) a mortgage and security interest in the real and personal property of each of the Mortgaged Facilities, as described in the 2016 Deeds of Trust. See “Security Interest in Gross Revenues under the Master Indenture” and “2016 Deeds of Trust” below for more information regarding the pledge of Gross Revenues and the Mortgaged Facilities.
21
The accounts of the Members of the Obligated Group will be combined for financial reporting purposes and will be used in determining whether the covenants and tests contained in the Master Indenture are met; however, potential bond holders should note the uncertainties with respect to the enforceability of the covenants in the Master Indenture of each Member of the Obligated Group to be jointly and severally liable for each Obligation, as described herein under the caption “RISK FACTORS — Certain Matters Relating to Enforceability.” As of the date of issuance of the Bonds, PRCN, Skyline and Fred Lind Manor will be the sole Members of the Obligated Group. See Appendix E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — The Obligated Group — Membership in the Obligated Group” and “— Withdrawal from the Obligated Group” for a description of the limitations on admission and release of Members of the Obligated Group.
SECURITY INTEREST IN GROSS REVENUES UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE
Pursuant to the Master Indenture, to secure the obligations of the Obligated Group thereunder and under each outstanding Obligation, including without limitation the Series 2016 Obligations, PRCN has granted and Skyline and Fred Lind Manor will grant, and as a condition precedent to membership in the Obligated Group in accordance with the Master Indenture each person which may hereafter become a Member shall grant, to the Master Trustee, a security interest in its Gross Revenues, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.
Upon written request from the Obligated Group Representative, accompanied by a Certificate of the Obligated Group Representative to the effect that the applicable requirements of the Master Indenture with respect to the incurrence of Short-Term Indebtedness have been met, the Master Trustee shall take all procedural steps necessary to effect the subordination of its security interest in the Gross Revenues granted in the Master Indenture to security interests constituting Permitted Encumbrances, granted by a Member in order to secure such Short-Term Indebtedness. The Master Trustee shall further provide prompt written notice of any such subordination to the Holders of all Obligations.
The Master Indenture defines Gross Revenues as (i) all receipts, revenues, payments, income and other moneys received by or on behalf of a Member from any source (excluding donor-restricted funds and other similarly restricted funds), whether or not in connection with the ownership or the operation of all or any part of a Member’s facilities, including, without limitation, all Entrance Fees (earned and unearned), monthly service fees and all other operating and non-operating revenues, and (ii) all rights to receive the same whether in the form of accounts receivable, contract rights, chattel paper, instruments, general intangibles of a Member and the proceeds thereof, the proceeds of any insurance coverage on and condemnation awards in respect of a Member’s facilities or any gain on the sale or other disposition of property by a Member; and all of the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence and whether now owned or held or hereafter acquired by a Member.
To perfect the Master Trustee’s security interest in the Gross Revenues of the Members of the Obligated Group, in connection with the issuance of the Series 2016 Obligations, PRCN, on behalf of itself and as Obligated Group Representative on behalf of the other Members of the Obligated Group, will execute a blocked account control agreement with the depository bank at
22
which the Gross Revenues of the Members of the Obligated Group are deposited, and each Member of Obligated Group will also file a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Washington. Even if perfected, the grant of a security interest in Gross Revenues may be subordinate to the interests and claims of others in several instances. Some examples of cases of subordination of prior interest and claims are (i) statutory liens, (ii) rights arising in favor of the United States of America or any agency thereof, (iii) present or future prohibitions against assignment, including collateral imposed or conferred by any state or federal court in the exercise of its equitable jurisdiction, (iv) federal or state bankruptcy laws that may affect the enforceability of the Master Indenture or grant a security interest in Gross Revenues and (v) liens on investments and investment accounts constituting Gross Revenues in favor of secured parties who have entered into control agreements with respect to such investments and investment accounts.
2016 DEEDS OF TRUST
The Series 2016 Obligations and all other Obligations previously and subsequently issued under the Master Indenture will be secured by a mortgage and security interest in the real property, rents and leases, personal property and fixtures relating to the Mortgaged Facilities (collectively, the “Collateral Property”), as such property is described in (a) the Amended and Restated Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Fixture Filing (Park Shore), dated as of October 1, 2016 (the “Park Shore Deed of Trust”), from PRCN, as grantor, to Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Chicago Title”), as deed of trust trustee, for the benefit of the Master Trustee, which amends and restates the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Fixture Filing, dated as of June 19, 2013, (b) the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Fixture Filing (Skyline) dated as of October 1, 2016 (the “Skyline Deed of Trust”), from Skyline, as grantor, to Chicago Title, as deed of trust trustee, for the benefit of the Master Trustee, (c) the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Fixture Filing (Fred Lind Manor), dated as of October 1, 2016 (the “Fred Lind Manor Deed of Trust”) from Fred Lind Manor, as grantor, to Chicago Title, as deed of trust trustee, for the benefit of the Master Trustee, and (d) the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Fixture Filing (1611 Condominium), the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Fixture Filing (1623 Condominium) and the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Fixture Filing (McGilvra Place Condominium), each dated as of October 1, 2016, and each from PRCN, as grantor, to Chicago Title, as deed of trust trustee, for the benefit of the Master Trustee (collectively, the “Condo Deeds of Trust” and, together with the Park Shore Deed of Trust, the Skyline Deed of Trust and the Fred Lind Manor Deed of Trust, the “2016 Deeds of Trust”). The Park Shore Deed of Trust pledges certain real and personal property relating to Park Shore; the Skyline Deed of Trust pledges certain real and personal property relating to Skyline at First Hill; the Fred Lind Manor Deed of Trust pledges certain real and personal property relating to Fred Lind Manor; and each of the Condo Deeds of Trust pledges certain real and personal property relating to the condos purchased in the Condo Acquisition.
The total book value of the Collateral Property constituted approximately 96.9% of the book value of all property, plant and equipment of the Obligated Group as of September 30,
23
2015. See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — The 2016 Deeds of Trust” for further information about the 2016 Deeds of Trust and the property granted as security thereunder.
There can be no assurance that the book value or fair market value of the Collateral Property would be realized upon its disposition or at foreclosure. In the future, the value of the Collateral Property could be substantially less than the principal amount of Obligations outstanding under the Master Indenture. In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the Obligated Group will deliver a lender’s title insurance policy with respect to the Mortgaged Facilities for the benefit of the Master Trustee. The title policy will be in an amount at least equal to the initial aggregate principal amount of the Bonds. See “RISK FACTORS—Certain Risks Associated with the 2016 Deeds of Trust.”

CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE
LIMITATIONS ON ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS AND ON ENCUMBRANCES
The Master Indenture defines Additional Indebtedness as any Indebtedness incurred subsequent to the execution and delivery of the Master Indenture. Pursuant to the Master Indenture, each Member agrees that it will not incur any Additional Indebtedness except as permitted therein. See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Limitations on Additional Indebtedness” for further information about the various incurrence tests.
The Master Indenture also prohibits any Member from creating, assuming or permitting to exist any Lien upon its Property (including, without limitation, the Gross Revenues) other than Permitted Encumbrances. See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS” for the definitions of Property, Lien and Permitted Encumbrances.
RATES AND CHARGES; DEBT COVERAGE
Each Member covenants and agrees in the Master Indenture to operate all of its Property in the aggregate on a revenue-producing basis and to charge such fees and rates for its facilities and services and to exercise such skill and diligence, including obtaining payment for services provided, as to provide income from its facilities together with other available funds sufficient to pay promptly all payments of principal and interest on its Indebtedness, all expenses of operation, maintenance and repair of its Property and all other payments required to be made by it under the Master Indenture to the extent permitted by law. Each Member further covenants and agrees that it will from time to time as often as necessary and to the extent permitted by law, revise its rates, fees and charges in such manner as may be necessary or proper to comply with the provisions of the Master Indenture.
Within 150 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Obligated Group Representative shall compute Income Available for Debt Service, Annual Debt Service, and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and promptly furnish to the Required Information Recipients (hereinafter defined) a Certificate setting forth the results of such computation.
If the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Obligated Group for any Fiscal Year is less than 1.20:1, the Master Trustee shall require the Obligated Group, at the Obligated Group’s expense, to retain an Independent Consultant within 30 days following the calculation described in the immediately preceding paragraph to make recommendations with respect to the rates, fees and charges of the Obligated Group’s methods of operation and other factors affecting its financial condition in order to increase such Debt Service Coverage Ratio to at least 1.20:1 for the following Fiscal Year.
For purposes of calculations under these provisions of the Master Indenture, an unrestricted contribution from any Affiliate of any Member of the Obligated Group may, at the
28
sole discretion of the Obligated Group Representative, be treated as Income Available for Debt Service being earned during the period of such calculation so long as the unrestricted contribution is made prior to the date the applicable Certificate is required to be delivered with respect to such calculation. If the unrestricted contribution is counted in a period prior to the date of such transfer in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall not be included in the calculation for the period in which such contribution was actually made.
If a written report of an Independent Consultant is delivered to the Master Trustee stating that Industry Restrictions have made it impossible for the ratio to be met, then such ratio shall be reduced to 1.00:1 for such Fiscal Year and determined by computing the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for such Fiscal Year.
A copy of the Independent Consultant’s report and recommendations, if any, shall be filed with each of the Required Information Recipients within 60 days of retaining the Independent Consultant. Each Member shall follow each recommendation of the Independent Consultant applicable to it to the extent feasible (as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Governing Body of such Member) and permitted by law. These provisions of the Master Indenture shall not be construed to prohibit any Member from serving indigent persons to the extent required for such Member to continue its qualification as a Tax-Exempt Organization or from serving any other class or classes of persons without charge or at reduced rates so long as such service does not prevent the Obligated Group from satisfying the other requirements of these provisions of the Master Indenture.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Master Indenture, an Event of Default arising from the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall only occur thereunder if one or more of the following conditions applies: (1) the Obligated Group (a) fails to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.20:1, and (b) fails to take all necessary action to comply with the procedures set forth in these provisions of the Master Indenture for preparing a report, adopting a plan, and following all recommendations contained in such report or plan to the extent feasible (as determined by the Governing Body of the Obligated Group Representative) and permitted by law; or (2) the Obligated Group fails to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00:1 for any Fiscal Year and the Days Cash on Hand of the Obligated Group as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than 150 days; or (3) the Obligated Group fails to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00:1 for two consecutive Fiscal Years.
LIQUIDITY COVENANT
The Obligated Group covenants in the Master Indenture that it will calculate the Days Cash on Hand of the Obligated Group as of September 30 and March 31 of each Fiscal Year (each such date being a “Testing Date”). The Obligated Group shall include such calculations in the Officer’s Certificates that are delivered for the fiscal quarters ending September 30 and March 31 pursuant to the Master Indenture.
Each Obligated Group Member is required to conduct its business so that on each Testing Date the Obligated Group shall have not less than 150 Days Cash on Hand. If the amount of Days Cash on Hand as of any Testing Date is less than 150, the Obligated Group Representative
29
shall, within 30 days after receipt of the Officer’s Certificate disclosing such deficiency, deliver an Officer’s Certificate approved by a resolution of the Governing Body of the Obligated Group Representative to the Master Trustee setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such deficiency and adopting a specific plan setting forth steps to be taken designed to achieve the required level of Days Cash on Hand for future periods.
If the Obligated Group has not achieved 150 Days Cash on Hand by the next Testing Date following delivery of the Officer’s Certificate required in the preceding paragraph, the Obligated Group Representative shall, within 30 days after receipt of the Officer’s Certificate disclosing such deficiency, retain an Independent Consultant to make recommendations with respect to the rates, fees and charges of the Obligated Group and the Obligated Group’s methods of operation and other factors affecting its financial condition in order to increase the Days Cash on Hand to the required level for future periods. A copy of the Independent Consultant’s report and recommendations, if any, shall be filed with each of the Required Information Recipients within 60 days of the date such Independent Consultant is retained. Each Member of the Obligated Group shall follow each recommendation of the Independent Consultant applicable to it to the extent feasible (as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Governing Body of the Member) and permitted by law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Master Indenture, failure of the Obligated Group to achieve the required liquidity covenant for any Fiscal Year shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Master Indenture if the Obligated Group takes all action necessary to comply with the procedures set forth above for preparing a report and adopting a plan and follows each recommendation contained in such report to the extent feasible (as determined by the Governing Body of the Obligated Group Representative) and permitted by law.
APPROVAL OF CONSULTANTS
If at any time the Obligated Group is required to engage an Independent Consultant to calculate the Days Cash on Hand of the Obligated Group or to make the calculations required by the provisions of the Master Indenture summarized under the caption “Rates and Charges; Debt Coverage” above, the Independent Consultant shall be engaged in the manner set forth below.
Upon selecting an Independent Consultant as required under the Master Indenture, the Obligated Group Representative will promptly notify the Master Trustee of the selection. The Master Trustee shall, as soon as practicable but in no case longer than five Business Days after receipt of notice, notify the holders of the Obligations outstanding of such selection. Such notice shall (i) include the name of the Independent Consultant and a brief description of the Independent Consultant, (ii) state the reason that the Independent Consultant is being engaged including a description of the covenant(s) of the Master Indenture that require the Independent Consultant to be engaged, and (iii) state that the holder of the Obligation will be deemed to have consented to the selection of the Independent Consultant named in such notice unless such Obligation holder submits an objection to the selected Independent Consultant in writing (in a manner acceptable to the Master Trustee) to the Master Trustee within 15 days of the date that the notice is sent to the Obligation holders. No later than two Business Days after the end of the 15-day objection period, the Master Trustee shall notify the Obligated Group of the number of
30
objections. If two-thirds (66⅔%) or more in aggregate principal amount of the holders of the outstanding Obligations have been deemed to have consented to the selection of the Independent Consultant, the Obligated Group Representative may engage the Independent Consultant within five days of receiving notice of that consent. If more than one-third (33⅓%) in aggregate principal amount of the holders of the Obligations outstanding have objected to the Independent Consultant selected, the Obligated Group Representative shall select another Independent Consultant within 14 days after receiving notice of such objection which may be engaged upon compliance with the procedures summarized in this paragraph.
All Independent Consultant reports required under the Master Indenture shall be prepared in accordance with then-effective industry-appropriate standards.
See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Approval of Consultants.”
OTHER COVENANTS
In addition to the covenants summarized above, the Master Indenture contains, among other provisions, (a) insurance requirements, (b) covenants with respect to maintenance of each Member’s properties, (c) limitations on Guaranties, (d) prohibitions and limitations on sale, lease or other disposition of each Member’s properties, and (e) prohibitions and limitations on consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of a Member’s property.
See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE” for further information about these and other provisions of the Master Indenture.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Members covenant in the Master Indenture to keep or cause to be kept proper books of records and accounts in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions of or in relation to the business and affairs of the Obligated Group in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting consistently applied, except as may be disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements. To the extent that generally accepted accounting principles would require consolidation of certain financial information of entities which are not Members of the Obligated Group with financial information of one or more Members, consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which include information with respect to entities which are not Members of the Obligated Group may be delivered in satisfaction of the requirements of this provision of the Master Indenture so long as: (i) supplemental information in sufficient detail to separately identify the information with respect to the Members of the Obligated Group is delivered to the Master Trustee with the audited financial statements; (ii) such supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements delivered to the Master Trustee and, in the opinion of the accountant, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole; and (iii) such supplemental information is used for the purposes hereof or for any agreement,
31
document or certificate executed and delivered in connection or pursuant to the Master Indenture.
The Members agree in the Master Indenture to provide certain financial and operating information to the Master Trustee, the Underwriter, each Related Bond Trustee, the Commission, the Electronic Municipal Market Access (“EMMA”) or any other nationally recognized municipal securities information repositories identified by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and all owners of $500,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Related Bonds who request such reports in writing (which written request shall include a certification as to such ownership) (collectively, the “Required Information Recipients”). See APPENDIX E — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — FILING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, REPORTS AND OTHER INFORMATION.” In addition to the requirements of the Master Indenture, in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, PRCN, as Obligated Group Representative, will enter into a Continuing Disclosure Agreement, pursuant to which the Obligated Group Representative will provide or cause to be provided certain annual and quarterly financial information (much of which is identical to the reporting requirements of the Master Indenture) and notice of certain events. The form of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement is set forth in APPENDIX G hereto. See also “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE” herein.
AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO THE MASTER INDENTURE
Certain amendments to the Master Indenture may be made with the consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations then outstanding. Such majority may be composed wholly or partially of the holders of the Obligations other than the holders of the Series 2016 Obligations. Additionally, certain amendments can be made without the consent of the holders, as provided in the Master Indenture.
RISK FACTORS
Set forth below are certain risk factors that should be considered before any investment in the Bonds is made. Certain risks are inherent in the successful operation of the Borrowers’ facilities. This section discusses some of these risks but is not intended to be, and should not be considered, a comprehensive listing of all risks associated with the operation of the Borrowers’ facilities or the payment of the Bonds.
GENERAL
As described herein under the caption “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS,” the principal of and interest on the Bonds, except to the extent that the Bonds will be payable, under certain circumstances, from proceeds of insurance, sale or condemnation awards or net amounts by recourse to the 2016 Deeds of Trust, are payable solely from amounts payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement, from amounts payable by the Obligated Group on the Series 2016 Obligations and from certain funds held under the Bond Indenture. No representation or assurance is given or can be made that revenues will be realized by the
32
Borrowers in amounts sufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds when due and other payments necessary to meet the obligations of the Borrowers. The Risk Factors discussed below should be considered in evaluating the ability of the Borrowers to make payments in amounts sufficient to provide for the payment of the principal of, the premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.
The receipt of future revenues by the Borrowers will be subject to, among other factors, federal and state policies affecting the senior housing and health care industries (including changes in reimbursement rates and policies), increased competition from other senior housing and health care providers, the capability of the management of the Borrowers and future economic and other conditions that are impossible to predict. The extent of the ability of the Borrowers to generate future revenues has a direct effect upon the payment of principal of, premium and purchase price, if any, and interest on the Bonds. Neither the Underwriter nor the Commission has made any independent investigation of the extent to which any such factors may have an adverse effect on the revenues of the Borrowers.
LIMITED OBLIGATIONS
The Bonds and the interest thereon are not general obligations of the Commission but are special, limited obligations, and do not constitute a debt or an indebtedness or an obligation of the Commission, the State, or any county, city or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of the State, or a loan of the faith or credit or the taxing power of any of them, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions, nor shall the Bonds be construed to create any moral obligation on the part of the Commission, the State, or any county, city or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of the State with respect to the payment of the Bonds. The Bonds shall not be payable from the general revenues of the Commission, and neither the Commission nor the State nor any political corporation, subdivision or agency thereof will be liable thereon, nor in any event shall the Bonds be payable out of any funds or properties other than those specifically pledged therefor. The Commission has no taxing power.
GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND DISRUPTION OF FINANCIAL MARKETS
Since 2008, the financial sectors of the economies of the United States and other countries have experienced severe disruptions, prompting a number of banks and other financial institutions to seek additional capital, including capital provided through the federal government, to merge, and, in some cases, to cease operations. These events collectively have led to significant reductions in lending capacity and extension of credit, erosion of investor confidence in the financial sector, and historically aberrant fluctuations in interest rates. This disruption of the credit and financial markets has led to volatility in the securities markets, significant losses in investment portfolios, increased business failures and consumer and business bankruptcies.
The health care and senior care sectors have been materially adversely affected by past market disruption and would likely be materially adversely affected by any future economic recession or financial market disruption. The consequences of financial market disruptions have generally included realized and unrealized investment portfolio losses, reduced investment income, limitations on access to the credit markets, difficulties in extending existing or obtaining
33
new liquidity facilities, difficulties in remarketing revenue bonds subject to tender, requiring the expenditure of internal liquidity to fund tenders of revenue bonds, and increased borrowing costs. Future financial market disruptions cannot be predicted and there can be no assurance that future financial disruptions will not materially or adversely affect the operations and financial condition of the Borrowers.
The Borrowers have significant holdings in a diversified portfolio of investments. Market fluctuations have affected and will continue to affect materially the value of those investments and those fluctuations may be and historically have been material. The market disruption has exacerbated the market fluctuations and has negatively affected the investment performance of securities in the Borrowers’ portfolio. See APPENDIX A— “INFORMATION CONCERNING PRESBYTERIAN RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES NORTHWEST OBLIGATED GROUP — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Operations.”
Federal budget deficits and expected shortfalls between state revenues and spending may result in changes to government health programs, including reductions in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates. Past federal budgets have included large cuts to the federal health care programs and future federal budgets may make additional cuts to the federal health care programs. It is not possible to predict what actions will be taken in future years by the federal legislature with respect to the federal budget.
Some of the challenges caused by the disruptions in the credit markets and general economic conditions are further highlighted below. These and other risks may adversely affect the Borrowers and jeopardize their ability to generate revenues, make payments under the Loan Agreement and, consequently, make payments on the Bonds. There can be no assurance that the financial condition of the Borrowers and/or the utilization of their communities will not be adversely affected by any of these circumstances.
MANAGEMENT’S FORECAST
Management’s financial forecast contained in the Financial Feasibility Study included in APPENDIX C hereto is based upon assumptions made by the management of the Borrowers. As stated in such financial forecast, there will usually be differences between the forecasted and actual results, because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. In addition, the financial forecast is only for the five years ending September 30, 2020, and consequently does not cover the whole period during which the Bonds may be outstanding. The Financial Feasibility Study should be read in its entirety, including management’s notes and assumptions set forth therein. See APPENDIX C hereto.
BECAUSE THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ACTUAL EVENTS WILL CORRESPOND WITH THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE, NO GUARANTEE CAN BE MADE THAT MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL FORECAST IN THE FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY WILL CORRESPOND WITH THE RESULTS ACTUALLY ACHIEVED IN THE FUTURE. ACTUAL OPERATING RESULTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY MANY UNCONTROLLABLE FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INCREASED COSTS, LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED REVENUES, EMPLOYEE RELATIONS, TAXES, GOVERNMENTAL CONTROLS, CHANGES IN
34
APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION, CHANGES IN DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS, CHANGES IN THE RETIREMENT LIVING AND HEALTH CARE INDUSTRIES, AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
ADDITIONS TO THE OBLIGATED GROUP
Following the issuance of the Bonds, PRCN, Skyline and Fred Lind Manor will be the only Members of the Obligated Group. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions in the Master Indenture, other entities can become Members of the Obligated Group. See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — THE OBLIGATED GROUP — Membership in the Obligated Group.” Management of the Borrowers currently has no plans to add additional Members to the Obligated Group. However, if and when new Members are added, the Obligated Group’s financial situation and operations will likely be altered from that of the existing Obligated Group.
UNCERTAINTY OF REVENUES
Although the Borrowers expect that revenues will be adequate to make all scheduled payments under the Loan Agreement (and corresponding payments on the Bonds), a number of factors could decrease revenues. Future economic and other conditions, including demand for rental housing, the ability of the Borrowers to provide the living environment demanded by tenants and potential tenants, competition, including from facilities financed by the Commission, changes in prevailing rental rates, costs, demographic changes, legislation, governmental regulations and litigation may adversely affect revenues and, consequently, the Borrowers’ ability to make payments under the Loan Agreement.
Failure to Achieve and Maintain Occupancy and Turnover. The ability of the Borrowers to generate sufficient revenues depends in large part on the Borrowers’ ability to attract sufficient numbers of residents to their facilities in order to maintain substantial occupancy and turnover of occupancy throughout the term of the Bonds. Because occupancy and turnover at the Borrowers’ facilities depend upon factors outside the Borrowers’ control, such as residents’ rights to terminate their contracts with the Borrowers, the Borrowers must rely on various assumptions about the Borrowers’ residents and the market for their services. Where such assumptions prove to be wrong, the Borrowers’ revenues will be affected. For example, the Borrowers’ receipt of additional Entrance Fees could be impaired by the survival of a substantial number of residents beyond assumed life expectancies, fewer permanent transfers to the Borrowers’ assisted living or skilled nursing facilities than anticipated, or a market-induced reduction in the amount or deferral of the Entrance Fees payable by new residents. Revenues would also be impaired if the Borrowers are unable to remarket units as they become available. If the Borrowers’ operations fail to maintain occupancy levels and resell independent living units and assisted living units as they become available, or if there is a reduction in the amount of Entrance Fees received, the Borrowers may lack sufficient funds to pay debt service on the Bonds.
Competition. Increased competition from a wide variety of potential sources, including but not limited to other assisted living and retirement communities, sheltered care communities, residential supportive living communities, continuing care retirement communities, life care
35
communities, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, inpatient and outpatient health care facilities, independent living communities, home health services and others, any of which could receive financing from the Commission, could adversely affect the utilization and/or revenues of the Borrowers. Existing and potential competitors may not be subject to various restrictions applicable to the Borrowers, and competition may, in the future, arise from new sources not currently anticipated or prevalent. Such competition could inhibit the extent to which the Borrowers will be able to raise charges and maintain or increase admissions. There can be no assurance that additional competing facilities will not be constructed in the future. See APPENDIX A— “INFORMATION CONCERNING PRESBYTERIAN RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES NORTHWEST OBLIGATED GROUP — Exhibit 2: Primary Market Area and Competition.”
Real Estate Markets/Sale of Personal Residences. During the term of the Bonds, prospective residents of the Borrowers’ communities may have difficulty selling their current homes due to national and local economic conditions impairing the sale of residential real estate and, as a consequence, may not have sufficient assets to pay entrance fees, accommodation fees and monthly service fees. This could cause a delay in scheduled occupancy of the Borrowers’ communities, the remarketing of vacated units, or a reduction in the amount or deferral of the Entrance Fees payable, all of which would have an adverse effect on the revenues of the Borrowers.
Fixed Income of the Elderly. A large percentage of the monthly income of residents and prospective residents of the Mortgaged Facilities is fixed income derived from pensions and Social Security. If, due to inflation or otherwise, substantial increases in fees are required to cover increases in operating costs, wages, benefits and other expenses, many residents may have difficulty paying or may be unable to pay such increased fees. Alternatively, any decrease in the amounts paid by a resident’s fixed income sources could affect such resident’s ability to meet financial obligations. The Borrowers’ inability to collect the full amount of residents’ payment obligations may adversely affect the ability of the Borrowers to make payments with respect to the Bonds.
Reduced Demand. Several factors could, if implemented, affect demand for services of the Borrowers, including: (i) efforts by insurers and governmental agencies to reduce utilization of skilled nursing home and long-term care facilities by means such as preventative medicine and home health programs; (ii) advances in scientific and medical technology; (iii) a decline in the population or a change in the age composition of the population; and (iv) a decline in the economic conditions of the service area of the Borrowers’ communities.
UNCERTAINTY OF INVESTMENT INCOME
The investment earnings of, and accumulations in, certain funds established pursuant to the Bond Indenture have been estimated and are based on assumed interest rates. While these assumptions are believed to be reasonable in view of the rates of return presently and previously available on the types of securities in which the Bond Trustee is permitted to invest under the Bond Indenture, there can be no assurance that similar interest rates will be available on such securities in the future, nor can there be any assurance that the estimated earnings will actually be realized.
36
PHILANTHROPY
The Borrowers, through their affiliate the Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest Foundation (the “PRCN Foundation”), derive income from unrestricted gifts and donations to supplement operating revenues to finance operations and capital needs. See APPENDIX A— “INFORMATION CONCERNING PRESBYTERIAN RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES NORTHWEST OBLIGATED GROUP — Affiliates” and APPENDIX B— “REPORTS OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PRCN AND SUBSIDIARIES (OTHER THAN FRED LIND MANOR) FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, 2014 AND 2013.” Although management of the Borrowers expects gifts and donations to remain at least at current levels and to increase at a moderate rate, there can be no assurance that this revenue will not decrease, adversely affecting the financial condition of the Borrowers.
INCREASES IN MEDICAL COSTS
Because the Borrowers are obligated to provide their continuing care contract residents with the right to move to a higher level of care, a deviation from the anticipated mortality rate or medical care requirements of the resident population or substantial unanticipated increases in the cost of such care could have a negative impact on the operations of the Borrowers’ communities. The undertaking to provide such care is a contractual obligation of the Borrowers, and no assurance can be given that the Borrowers will have sufficient funds to meet their anticipated obligations. Residents are required to obtain Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B and supplemental insurance satisfactory to the Borrowers; however, Medicare does not cover the cost of nursing home care except under certain limited circumstances (including up to 100 days of skilled nursing care following a 3-day qualifying hospital stay). In addition, the cost of providing health care services may increase due to increases in salaries paid to nurses and other health care personnel and due to shortages in such personnel which may require use of employment agencies. Increases in third party therapy services and other ancillary costs such as drugs and medical supplies may also increase costs.
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Borrowers’ operations are capital intensive. Economic conditions such as credit market dysfunction and increased regulation of the financial industry could make it more difficult for the Obligated Group to access the capital markets or to otherwise fund capital expenses through borrowings on favorable terms and conditions. Any such limitation could result in delayed or deferred capital expenditures that could be integral to the operations of the Borrowers.
LABOR RELATIONS
Unionization of employees or a shortage of qualified professional personnel could cause an increase in payroll costs beyond those projected. The Borrowers cannot control the prevailing wage rates in their service area and any increase in such rates will directly affect the costs of
37
their operations. Management is not aware of any current attempts by the Borrowers’ employees to unionize.
NURSING SHORTAGE
The health care industry has experienced a shortage of nursing and other technical staff, which has resulted in increased costs and lost revenues from time to time due to the need to hire agency nursing personnel at higher rates, increased compensation levels, and the inability to use otherwise available beds as a result of staffing shortages. Increased costs and lost revenues resulting from staff shortages could adversely affect the operations or financial condition of the Borrowers.
EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR ISSUES
The Borrowers’ workforce includes professional, quasi-professional, technical, clerical, housekeeping, maintenance, dietary and other types of workers in a single operation. As with all employers, the Borrowers bear a wide variety of risks in connection with these employees. These risks include strikes and other related work actions, contract disputes, difficulties in recruitment, discrimination claims, personal tort actions, work-related injuries, exposure to hazardous materials, interpersonal torts, risks related to benefit plans, and other risks that may flow from the relationships between employer and employee or between residents and employees. Certain of these risks are not covered by insurance, and certain of them cannot be anticipated or prevented in advance. Such risks, alone or in combination, could have material adverse consequences to the financial condition or operations of the Borrowers.
PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY CLAIMS AND LIABILITY INSURANCE
In recent years, the number of professional and general liability suits and the dollar amounts of damage recoveries have increased nationwide in the health care industry, resulting in substantial increases in malpractice insurance premiums, higher deductibles and generally less coverage. Professional liability and other actions alleging wrongful conduct and seeking punitive damages are often filed against health care providers. Insurance does not provide coverage for judgments for punitive damages. Insurers are mandating lower amounts of coverage, requiring greater deductibles, and charging more in premiums. Policies issued may not be renewed or renewable. It is not possible at this time to determine either the extent to which malpractice coverage will continue to be available to the Borrowers or the premiums at which such coverage can be obtained. Although the Borrowers currently carry professional liability and general liability insurance which management of the Borrowers considers adequate, the Borrowers are unable to predict the availability, cost or adequacy of such insurance in the future.
PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS
General. Health care providers are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations, and sanctions imposed under or changes to such laws or regulations could adversely
38
affect the operations or financial results of the Borrowers. Further reductions in federal and state funding of health care below levels authorized by present law can be expected.
Skilled nursing facilities, including those owned by the Borrowers, are subject to numerous licensing, certifications, accreditation, and other governmental requirements. These include, but are not limited to, requirements relating to state licensing agencies, private payors and accreditation organizations. Sheltered and assisted living communities, including those owned by the Borrowers, are also subject to licensing requirements. Renewal and continuance of certain of these licenses, certifications, approvals and accreditations are based upon inspections, surveys, audits, investigations or other review, some of which may require or include affirmative action or response by the Borrowers. An adverse determination could result in a loss, fine or reduction in the Borrowers’ scope of licensure, certification or accreditation, could affect the ability to undertake certain expenditures or could reduce the payments received or require the repayment of the amounts previously remitted. See “STATE LICENSURE AND REGULATION OF SENIOR LIVING PROVIDERS” below for more information.
Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Program Reimbursement Cuts. Medicare provides certain health care benefits to beneficiaries who are 65 years of age or older, blind, disabled, or qualify for the end stage renal disease program. Medicaid is a program of financial assistance, funded jointly by the federal government and each of the various states, primarily for medical assistance to certain needy individuals and their dependents. Due to health care reform as well as continuing political and financial pressures, the legal and regulatory environment surrounding the Medicaid and Medicare programs has been changing and is expected to continue to change. Future changes to Medicare and Medicaid may alter features including: (1) services eligible for payment; (2) rates of payment; (3) eligibility requirements to participate or qualify for different levels of payment/reimbursement; (4) consequences of violations; (5) rates and requirements relating to additional payments unrelated to services offered to patients; (6) guidelines relating to interactions between the participating health care providers, third party payors and the federal and state governments; and (7) payment methodologies.
The federal and state governments have in the past, and may in the future, make changes to their respective budgets, which budget reductions may include reductions to the Medicare or Medicaid programs. While it is uncertain whether future federal budgets will result in a decrease in such revenue, any reduction thereof could have an adverse impact on the revenues of the Borrowers and the ability to pay the debt service of the Bonds.
Washington Medicaid. In the State of Washington, Medicaid is known as “Washington Apple Health” and is administered and supervised by the Washington State Health Care Authority (“HCA”). The State chose to expand Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) eligibility limits in accordance with the Health Care Reform Act (defined below), bringing health care coverage to adults in Washington State (ages 19 up to 65) who earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. According to the HCA, Medicaid expansion allowed more than half a million Washington state adults who were previously uninsured to enroll in Washington Apple Health, resulting in a 10-point drop in the uninsured rate in Washington—one of the highest drops in the rate of uninsured in the country. On August 24, 2015, Washington submitted a proposal to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) for a Section 1115
39
Medicaid Transformation waiver. If approved, the waiver could provide an opportunity to accelerate changes in Washington’s Medicaid program through a five-year demonstration project.
As discussed above under the heading “General Economic Conditions and Disruption of Financial Markets,” many states, including Washington, face budget challenges which may negatively affect the Borrowers in a number of ways, including through reductions in Medicaid reimbursement rates. It is not possible to predict what actions will be taken in future years by the State legislature, the Governor or the HCA to address the Medicaid budget. Additional reductions in the levels and timing of health care provider reimbursement could have a material adverse effect on the Borrowers.
Health Care Reform. The “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” and “The Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010” (together referred to herein as the “Health Care Reform Act”) have had a significant impact on the entire health care industry and will continue to impact the industry in the future. Some of the provisions of the Health Care Reform Act took effect immediately upon its passage in 2010, while others provisions will be phased in through 2023. Guidelines and regulations related to the Health Care Reform Act continue to be amended and enacted.
The Health Care Reform Act changes how consumers pay for their own and their families’ health care and how employers procure health insurance for their employees. In addition, the Health Care Reform Act requires insurers to change certain underwriting practices and benefit structures in order to cover individuals who previously would have been ineligible for health care insurance coverage. As a result, there has been a significant increase in the number of individuals eligible for health care insurance coverage.
Key provisions of the Health Care Reform Act include: (i) creating active insurance markets (referred to as exchanges) in which individuals and small employers can purchase health care insurance for themselves and their families or their employees and dependents, (ii) providing subsidies for premium costs to individuals and families based upon their income relative to federal poverty levels, (iii) mandating that individuals obtain and certain employers provide a minimum level of health care insurance, and providing for penalties or taxes on individuals and employers that do not comply with these mandates, (iv) establishing insurance reforms that expand coverage generally through such provisions as prohibitions on denials of coverage for pre-existing conditions and elimination of lifetime or annual cost caps, and (v) expanding existing public programs, including Medicaid for individuals and families.
The Health Care Reform Act also contains a significant number of provisions related to health care fraud and abuse and program integrity as well as significant amendments to existing criminal, civil and administrative anti-fraud statutes. See “Federal and State Fraud and Abuse Laws” below. Increased compliance and regulatory requirements, disclosure and transparency obligations, quality of care expectations and extraordinary enforcement provisions that could greatly increase potential legal exposure are all aspects of the Health Care Reform Act that could increase operating expenses to the Borrowers.
40
The Health Care Reform Act includes a number of initiatives that impact skilled nursing facility reimbursement. Specifically, the Health Care Reform Act instructed the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to provide a report and recommendations to Congress in 2012 regarding potential payment penalties for conditions acquired during a resident’s stay at a skilled nursing facility as well as a plan to expand the value-based purchasing demonstration to a national payment model. The Skilled Nursing Facility Value Based Purchasing Program is set to begin in fiscal year 2019. Additionally, the Health Care Reform Act implemented full market basket updates for federal fiscal years 2010 and 2011, but required a productivity adjustment factor in federal fiscal year 2012 that reduced the market basket adjustment for 2012 and subsequent years. There is no assurance that payments made by CMS as a result of reimbursement reform measures will be sufficient to cover the facility’s costs. In addition, any future Congressional action related to value-based purchasing or adjustments to market basket updates could negatively affect the Borrowers’ revenues.
Portions of the Health Care Reform Act have already been limited as a result of legislative amendment or judicial interpretation and efforts to repeal the Health Care Reform Act or certain provisions thereof are from time to time pending in Congress. In June 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld most provisions of the Health Care Reform Act, including the requirement that individuals maintain health insurance coverage. The Supreme Court also ruled that the federal government could not compel states to comply with the Health Care Reform Act’s requirement to expand Medicaid by eliminating all federal funds a state receives for its existing Medicaid program. In June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court held that health insurance subsidies under the Health Care Reform Act would be available in all states, including those with a federally-facilitated health insurance exchange. The Health Care Reform Act continues to be subject to judicial interpretation and attempts to repeal or amend the law. It is not possible to predict the outcome of future legislative attempts to repeal or amend the Health Care Reform Act or what affect continued judicial interpretations will have on the Health Care Reform Act. Such uncertainties regarding the implementation of the Health Care Reform Act create unpredictability for health care providers’ strategic and business planning efforts, which in itself constitutes a risk.
Given the general complexity of the Health Care Reform Act, additional legislation is likely to be considered and enacted over time. The Health Care Reform Act has required and will continue to require the promulgation of substantial regulations with significant effects on the health care industry and third-party payors. In response, third-party payors as well as suppliers and vendors of goods and services to health care providers have and are expected to continue to impose new contractual terms and conditions. Thus, the health care industry will continue to be subjected to significant new statutory and regulatory requirements as well as contractual terms and conditions, and consequently to structural and operational changes and challenges, for the foreseeable future.
Management is analyzing the Health Care Reform Act and will continue to do so in order to assess the effects of the legislation and/or regulations on current and projected operations, financial performance and financial condition. However, management cannot predict with any
41
reasonable degree of certainty or reliability any interim or ultimate effects of the legislation or promulgated regulations.
Federal and State Fraud and Abuse Laws. Certain federal laws, including the laws commonly known as the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law and the False Claims Act, seek to protecting the federal health care programs from fraud and abuse (collectively, the “Federal Healthcare Fraud Laws”). The Federal Healthcare Fraud Laws are complex, heavily enforced and subject to frequent amendment. Violation of the Federal Healthcare Fraud Laws may result in significant financial penalties, fines, exclusion from the federal health care programs and/or criminal liability. Failure to comply with those laws could have a material adverse effect on the Borrowers’ operations.
A number of states, including Washington, have passed healthcare fraud and abuse laws similar in scope to the Federal Healthcare Fraud Laws, but have expanded the prohibitions to private insurers. Violation of state fraud and abuse laws could have a material adverse effect on the Borrowers’ operations.
The Borrowers have a compliance program designed to help ensure material compliance with the Federal Healthcare Fraud Laws and similar state laws. However, in light of the scarcity of case law interpreting the Federal Healthcare Fraud Laws, there can be no assurances that a Borrower will not be found to have violated a Federal Healthcare Fraud Law, and if so, whether any sanction imposed would have a material adverse effect on the operations or the financial condition of the Borrowers. At the present time, management is not aware of any pending or threatened claims, investigations or enforcement actions regarding any applicable federal or state statutes which, if determined adversely to the Borrowers would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Borrowers.
Billing Practices. Medicare requires that extensive financial information be reported on a periodic basis and in a specific format or content. These requirements are numerous, technical and complex and may not be fully understood or implemented by billing or reporting personnel. With respect to certain types of required information, the False Claims Act may be violated by mere negligence or recklessness in the submission of information to the government even without any specific intent to defraud. New billing systems, new medical procedures and procedures for which there is not clear guidance may all result in liability. The penalties for violation include criminal or civil liability and may include, for serious or repeated violations, exclusion from participation in the Medicare program. While management believes that the Borrowers’ billing practices will be consistent with Medicare criteria, those criteria are often vague and subject to interpretation and there can be no assurance that aggressive anti-fraud actions will not adversely affect the business of the Borrowers.
Federal Privacy Laws. Specific state and federal laws govern the use and disclosure of confidential patient health information, as well as patients’ rights to access and amend their own health information. The Administrative Simplification Requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) established national standards to facilitate the electronic exchange of Protected Health Information (“PHI”) and to maintain the privacy and security of the PHI. These standards have a major effect on health care providers
42
which transmit PHI in electronic form in connection with HIPAA standard transactions (e.g., health care claims). In particular, HIPAA established standards governing: (1) Electronic Transactions and Code Sets; (2) Privacy; (3) Security; and (4) National Identifiers. The Borrowers have developed policies, procedures and practices that it believes comply with the HIPAA standards and requirements, but if it was determined that the Borrowers were not in compliance there could be criminal and civil penalties imposed.
Title XIII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, otherwise known as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (the “HITECH Act”), provides for an investment of almost $20 billion in public monies for the development of a nationwide health information technology infrastructure (“HITI”). The HITI is intended to improve health care quality, reduce costs and facilitate access to certain information. The HITECH Act also expands the scope and application of the administrative simplification provisions of HIPAA, and its implementing regulation, (i) imposing a written notice obligation upon covered entities for security breaches involving “unsecured” protected health information, (ii) expanding the scope of a provider’s electronic health record disclosure tracking obligations, (iii) substantially limiting the ability of health care providers to sell protected health information without patient authorization, (iv) increasing penalties for violations, and (v) providing for enforcement of violations by state attorneys general. While the effects of the HITECH Act cannot be predicted at this time, the obligations imposed thereunder could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Borrowers.
STATE LICENSURE AND REGULATION OF SENIOR LIVING PROVIDERS
The operations of the Borrowers are subject to numerous licensing, certification, accreditation and other governmental requirements that are administered by a variety of federal and state governmental agencies as well as by self-regulatory associations and commercial medical insurance reimbursement programs. These include, but are not limited to, requirements relating to Medicare and Medicaid participation and payment and requirements relating to state licensing agencies, private payors and accreditation organizations. Renewal and continuance of certain of these licenses, certifications, approvals and accreditations are based upon inspections, surveys, audits, investigations or other review, some of which may require or include affirmative action or response by the Borrowers. An adverse determination could result in a loss, fine or reduction in a Borrower’s scope of licensure, certification or accreditation, could affect the ability to undertake certain expenditures, or could reduce the payment received or require the repayment of the amounts previously remitted. The Borrowers currently anticipate no difficulty in renewing or continuing currently-held licenses, certifications and accreditations. It is impossible, however, to predict the effect of future regulation on the operations or financial condition of the Borrowers.
State Licensure of Skilled Nursing Facilities. As described in APPENDIX A— “INFORMATION CONCERNING PRESBYTERIAN RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES NORTHWEST OBLIGATED GROUP — Obligated Group Communities,” the Mortgaged Facilities include skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”). SNFs provide skilled nursing care and supportive care to patients whose primary need is for skilled nursing care on an extended basis. SNFs in Washington are licensed and inspected by the Department of Social and Health Services (“DSHS”). Operational
43
requirements for SNFs include numerous resident rights regarding issues such as decision making, informed consent, advance directives, protection of funds, privacy and confidentiality. DSHS may suspend or revoke a SNF’s license on a variety of grounds including but not limited to violation of any applicable statute or regulation with respect to SNFs or failure to meet the SNF operational requirements. Management believes that the Borrowers are in compliance with all relevant SNF statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with any of the foregoing regulations may have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial condition of the Borrowers.
State Licensure of Assisted Living Facilities. As described in APPENDIX A— “INFORMATION CONCERNING PRESBYTERIAN RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES NORTHWEST OBLIGATED GROUP — Obligated Group Communities,” the Mortgaged Facilities include assisted living facilities. Assisted living facilities (“ALFs”) are licensed housing arrangements where varying levels and intensities of care and supervision, protective supervision, or personal care are provided to residents based upon their varying needs. Such facilities generally provide a range of services that stop short of medical care, including meals, shelter, laundry, transportation, laundry, supervision with medications and limited assistance with the activities of daily living. ALFs must comply with certain conditions of licensure and operation as required and enforced DSHS, including, among other things, a resident protection program. An ALF may have its license suspended or revoked for violation of any applicable statute or regulation with respect to ALFs. Management believes that the Borrowers are in compliance with all relevant ALF statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with any of the foregoing regulations may have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial condition of the Borrowers.
State Regulation of Continuing Care Retirement Communities. As described in APPENDIX A— “INFORMATION CONCERNING PRESBYTERIAN RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES NORTHWEST OBLIGATED GROUP — Obligated Group Communities,” the Mortgaged Facilities include continuing care retirement communities (“CCRCs”). Effective July 1, 2017, in accordance with chapter 183 of Laws of 2016 passed by the Washington Legislature, CCRCs will be subject to registration and regulation by DSHS. Providers who operate a CCRC must register with DSHS before (i) operating a CCRC, (ii) entering into a residency agreement with a prospective resident, (iii) soliciting a prospective resident to pay an application fee, or (iv) collecting an entrance fee. Additionally, CCRCs will be required to file a disclosure statement that includes, among other things, information regarding CCRC ownership; an explanation of the CCRC’s policy regarding placement in off-campus SNFs and nursing homes and the payment responsibilities of the CCRC and the resident in the event of off-campus placement; an explanation regarding all types of fees charged by the CCRC and how each fee is determined; statements describing the CCRC’s policy to notify residents of fee increases; statements describing the CCRC’s policy related to changes in levels of care and any associated fees; a description of services provided under the CCRC’s residency agreement; and the CCRC’s two most recent annual audited financial statements. Management believes that the Borrowers will be able to comply with the new regulation by the July 1, 2017 effective date. Failure to comply with the new regulation may have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial condition of the Borrowers.

RISKS RELATED TO TAX-EXEMPT STATUS
Tax-Exempt Status of the Series 2016A Bonds. The Code imposes a number of requirements that must be satisfied for interest on state and local obligations, such as the Series 2016A Bonds, to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. These requirements include, among other things, limitations on the use of bond proceeds and facilities financed with bond proceeds, limitations on the investment earnings of bond proceeds prior to expenditure, a requirement that certain investment earnings on bond proceeds be paid periodically to the United States, and a requirement that the Commission file an information report with the IRS. The Commission, the Borrowers and the Bond Trustee have covenanted to comply with these requirements to the extent applicable. Failure to comply with the requirements stated in the Code and related regulations, rulings and policies may result in the early redemption of the Series 2016A Bonds or the treatment of the interest on the Series 2016A Bonds as taxable. Such adverse treatment may be retroactive to the date of issuance. See also, “TAX MATTERS.”
IRS officials have recently indicated that more resources will be invested in audits of tax-exempt bonds in the charitable organization sector. The Series 2016A Bonds may be, from time to time, subject to audits by the IRS. The Borrowers believe that the Series 2016A Bonds properly comply with the tax laws. In addition, Bond Counsel will render an opinion with respect to the tax-exempt status of the Series 2016A Bonds, as described under the caption “TAX MATTERS” below. The opinion of Bond Counsel is not binding on the IRS. There is no assurance that an IRS examination on the Series 2016A Bonds will not adversely affect the market value of the Series 2016A Bonds. See “TAX MATTERS” below.
Proposed Legislation Regarding Limitations or Elimination of Tax-exempt Status of Bonds. Tax legislation, administrative actions taken by tax authorities, or court decisions, whether at the Federal or state level, may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Series 2016A Bonds under Federal or state law or otherwise prevent beneficial owners of the Series 2016A Bonds from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. In addition, such legislation or actions (whether currently proposed, proposed in the future, or enacted) and such decisions could affect the market price or marketability of the Series 2016A Bonds.
Prospective investors should consult with their tax advisors on the foregoing matters as they consider an investment in the Bonds.
Tax-Exempt Status of the Borrowers. The tax-exempt status of the Series 2016A Bonds depends, among other things, upon maintenance by each Borrower of its status as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or as a disregarded entity whose single member is an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. The maintenance of such status is contingent on compliance with general rules promulgated in the Code and related regulations regarding the organization and operation of tax-exempt entities, including their operation for charitable and other permissible purposes and their avoidance of transactions that may cause their earnings or assets to inure to the benefit of private individuals. As these general principles were developed primarily for public charities that do not conduct large-scale technical
45
operations and business activities, they often do not adequately address the myriad of operations and transactions entered into by a modern senior living organization. Although traditional activities of senior living providers have been the subject of interpretations by the IRS in the form of Private Letter Rulings, many activities or categories of activities have not been fully addressed in any official opinion, interpretation or policy of the IRS.
The IRS has issued three Revenue Rulings dealing specifically with the manner in which a facility providing residential services to the elderly must operate in order to maintain its exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. Revenue Rulings 61-72 states that, if otherwise qualified, a facility providing residential services to the elderly is exempt under Section 501(c)(3) if the organization (1) is dedicated to providing, and in fact provides, care and housing to elderly individuals who otherwise would be unable to provide for themselves without hardship, (2) to the extent of its financial ability, renders services to all or a reasonable proportion of its residents at substantially below actual cost, and (3) renders services that minister to the needs of the elderly and relieve hardship or distress. Revenue Ruling 72-124 states that an otherwise qualified organization will qualify for charitable status for purposes of the Code if it operates in a manner designed to satisfy the needs of elderly persons for housing, health care and financial security. The need for housing is generally met if the organization provides residential facilities specifically designed to meet some combination of the physical, emotional, recreational, social, religious and similar needs of elderly persons. The need for health care is generally met if the organization directly provides some form of health care or, in the alternative, makes such care available through continuing arrangements with other organizations, facilities or health personnel. The need for financial security is generally met if two conditions are satisfied: (1) the organization must be committed to an established policy of maintaining in residence any persons who become unable to pay their regular charges, and (2) the organization operates so as to provide its services to the elderly at the lowest feasible cost, taking into account such expenses as the payment of indebtedness, maintenance of adequate reserves, and reserves for physical expansion. Revenue Ruling 79-18 states that a charitable organization providing residential services to the elderly may admit only those tenants who are able to pay full rental charges, provided that those charges are set at a level that is within the financial reach of a significant segment of the community’s elderly persons.
If the IRS were to find that a Borrower had participated in activities in violation of certain regulations or rulings, such Borrower’s tax-exempt status could be in jeopardy. Although the IRS has not frequently revoked the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status of nonprofit senior living corporations, it could do so in the future. Loss of tax-exempt status by a Borrower potentially could result in loss of tax exemption of all or a portion of the Series 2016A Bonds, early redemption of all or a portion of the Series 2016A Bonds, and defaults in covenants regarding the Series 2016A Bonds and other outstanding tax-exempt debt and obligations likely would be triggered. Loss of a Borrower’s tax-exempt status also could result in substantial tax liabilities on the income of such Borrower.
In lieu of revocation of exempt status, the IRS may impose penalty excise taxes on certain “excess benefit transactions” involving 501(c)(3) organizations and “disqualified persons.” An excess benefit transaction is one in which a disqualified person receives more than fair market value from the exempt organization or pays the exempt organization less than fair
46
market value for property or services, or shares the net revenues of the tax-exempt entity. A disqualified person is a person (or a certain kind of entity) who is in a position to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of the exempt organization during the five years preceding an excess benefit transaction. The statute imposes excise taxes on the disqualified person and any “organization manager” who knowingly participates in an excess benefit transaction. These rules do not penalize the exempt organization itself, so there would be no direct impact on the Borrowers or the tax status of the Series 2016A Bonds if an excess benefit transaction were subject to IRS enforcement.
It is not possible to predict the scope or effect of future legislative or regulatory actions with respect to taxation of nonprofit corporations. There can be, however, no assurance that future changes in the laws and regulations of the federal, state or local governments, or the interpretation of existing or future laws and regulations will not materially and adversely affect the operations and revenues of the Borrowers by requiring them to pay income taxes.
Below-Market Interest Loans. Section 7872 of the Code (Treatment of Loans with Below-Market Interest Rates), provides for, in certain circumstances, the imputation of interest income to a lender when the rate of interest charged by the lender is below prevailing market rates (as determined under a formula) or, even if the below-market interest rate loan would otherwise be exempt from the provisions of Section 7872, when one of the principal purposes for such below-market rate loan is the avoidance of federal income taxation.
A refundable entrance fee payment made by a resident to certain continuing care facilities has been determined under Section 7872 to constitute a below-market interest rate loan by the resident to the facility to the extent that the resident is not receiving a market rate of interest on the refundable portion of the entrance fee. Section 7872(g) provides a “Safe Harbor” exemption for certain types of refundable entrance fees. The statutory language of Section 7872 does not permit a conclusive determination as to whether residency agreements come within the scope of the continuing care facility safe harbor or within the statute itself. Section 7872 is applicable only to “Loans” in excess of $90,000, as annually increased by inflation. Management believes that the Borrowers meet the qualification as a “qualified continuing care facility” of Section 7872(h). Any determination of applicability of Section 7872 could have the effect of discouraging potential residents from becoming or remaining residents of the Borrowers’ facilities.
Intermediate Sanctions. On July 31, 1996, the Taxpayers Bill of Rights 2 (the “Taxpayers Act”) was signed into law. The Taxpayers Act provides the IRS with an “intermediate” tax enforcement tool to combat violations by tax-exempt organizations of the private inurement prohibition of the Code. Prior to the “intermediate sanctions law,” the IRS could punish such violations only through revocation of an entity’s tax-exempt status.
Intermediate sanctions may be imposed where there is an “Excess Benefit Transaction,” defined to include a disqualified person (i.e., an insider) (1) engaging in a non-fair market value transaction with the tax-exempt organization; (2) receiving unreasonable compensation from the tax-exempt organization; or (3) receiving payment in an arrangement that violates the private inurement proscription.
47
A disqualified person who benefits from an excess benefit transaction will be subject to a “first tier” penalty excise tax equal to 25% of the amount of the excess benefit. Organizational managers who participate in an excess benefit transaction knowing it to be improper are subject to a first-tier penalty excise tax of 10% of the amount of the excess benefit, subject to a maximum penalty of $20,000. A “second tier” penalty excise tax of 200% of the amount of the excess benefit may be imposed on the disqualified person (but not the organizational manager) if the excess benefit transaction is not corrected in a specified time period.
AMENDMENTS TO THE DOCUMENTS
Certain amendments to the Bond Indenture and the Loan Agreement may be made without the consent of the owners of the outstanding Bonds under the Bond Indenture and certain amendments may be made with the consent of the owners of 51% of the outstanding Bonds. Certain amendments to the 2016 Deeds of Trust may be made with the consent of the Master Trustee and the Borrowers. Such amendments may adversely affect the security of the Bondholders. See APPENDIX D— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PRINCIPAL BOND DOCUMENTS — Bond Indenture — Supplemental Bond Indentures Not Requiring Consent of Bondowners” and “— Amendments to Loan Documents Not Requiring Consent of Bondowners” and APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Supplements and Amendments.”
ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS
Under certain conditions, the Master Indenture permits the Obligated Group to incur Additional Indebtedness which may be equally and ratably secured with the Series 2016 Obligations. Any such additional parity debt would be entitled to share ratably with the owners of the Bonds in any moneys realized from the exercise of remedies in the event of a default. There is no assurance that, despite compliance with the conditions upon which Additional Indebtedness may be incurred at the time such debt is created, the ability of the Borrowers to make the necessary payments to repay the Bonds may not be materially, adversely affected upon the incurrence of Additional Indebtedness. See APPENDIX E— “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST — THE MASTER INDENTURE — Limitations on Encumbrances” and “— Limitations on Additional Indebtedness.”
BANKRUPTCY
If a Member of the Obligated Group (a “Member”) were to file a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, its revenues and certain of its accounts receivable and other property acquired after the filing (and under certain conditions some or all thereof acquired within 120 days prior to the filing) would not be subject to the security interests created under the Master Indenture. The filing would operate as an automatic stay of the commencement or continuation of any judicial or other proceeding against the Member and its property and as an automatic stay of any act or proceeding to enforce a lien upon their property. If the bankruptcy court so ordered, such property, including accounts receivable and proceeds thereof, could be
48
used for the benefit of the Member despite the security interest of the Master Trustee and the Bond Trustee therein, provided that “adequate protection” is given to the lienholder.
In a bankruptcy proceeding, a Member could file a plan for the adjustment of its debts which modifies the rights of creditors generally, or any class of creditors, secured or unsecured. The plan, when confirmed by the court, binds all creditors who had notice or knowledge of the plan and discharges all claims against the debtor provided for in the plan. No plan may be confirmed unless, among other conditions, the plan is in the best interests of creditors, is feasible and has been accepted by each class of claims impaired thereunder. Each class of claims has accepted the plan if at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of the allowed claims of the class that are voted with respect to the plan are cast in its favor. Even if the plan is not so accepted, it may be confirmed if the court finds that the plan is fair and equitable with respect to each class of non-accepting creditors impaired thereunder and does not discriminate unfairly in favor of junior creditors.
CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO ENFORCEABILITY
The security interest of the Master Trustee in the Gross Revenues of the Members of the Obligated Group, even if perfected, may be subordinate to the interests and claims of others in several instances. Some examples of cases of subordination of prior interest and claims are (i) statutory liens, (ii) rights arising in favor of the United States of America or any agency thereof, (iii) present or future prohibitions against assignment, including collateral imposed or conferred by any state or federal court in the exercise of its equitable jurisdiction, (iv) federal or state bankruptcy laws that may affect the enforceability of the Master Indenture or grant a security interest in Gross Revenues and (v) liens on investments and investment accounts constituting Gross Revenues in favor of secured parties who have entered into control agreements with respect to such investments and investment accounts.
The accounts of the Members of the Obligated Group (including any future Members of the Obligated Group) will be combined for financial reporting purposes and will be used in determining whether various covenants and tests contained in the Master Indenture (including tests relating to the incurrence of Additional Indebtedness) are met, notwithstanding the uncertainties as to the enforceability of certain obligations of the Obligated Group contained in the Master Indenture which bear on the availability of the assets and revenues of the Obligated Group to pay debt service on Obligations, including the Series 2016 Obligations pledged under the Bond Indenture as security for the Bonds. The obligation described herein of the Obligated Group to make payments of debt service on Obligations issued under the Master Indenture (including transfers in connection with voluntary dissolution or liquidation) may not be enforceable to the extent (1) enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and by general equitable principles and (2) such payments (i) are requested with respect to payments on any Obligations issued by a Member other than the Member from which such payment is requested, issued for a purpose which is not consistent with the charitable purposes of the Member of the Obligated Group from which such payment is requested or issued for the benefit of a Member of the Obligated Group which is not a Tax-Exempt Organization; (ii) are requested to be made from any moneys or assets which are donor-restricted or which are subject to a direct
49
or express trust which does not permit the use of such moneys or assets for such a payment; (iii) would result in the cessation or discontinuation of any material portion of the health care or related services previously provided by the Member of the Obligated Group from which such payment is requested; or (iv) are requested to be made pursuant to any loan violating applicable usury laws. The extent to which the assets of any future Member of the Obligated Group may fall within the categories (ii) and (iii) above with respect to the Series 2016 Obligations cannot now be determined. The amount of such assets which could fall within such categories could be substantial.
A Member of the Obligated Group may not be required to make any payment on any Obligation, or portion thereof, the proceeds of which were not loaned or otherwise disbursed to such Member of the Obligated Group to the extent that such payment would render such Member of the Obligated Group insolvent or which would conflict with or not be permitted by or which is subject to recovery for the benefit of other creditors of such Member of the Obligated Group under applicable laws. There is no clear precedent in the law as to whether such payments from a Member of the Obligated Group in order to pay debt service on the Series 2016 Obligations may be voided by a trustee in bankruptcy in the event of bankruptcy of a Member of the Obligated Group, or by third-party creditors in an action brought pursuant to state fraudulent conveyance statutes. Under the United States Bankruptcy Code, a trustee in bankruptcy and, under state fraudulent conveyance statutes and common law, a creditor of a related guarantor, may avoid any obligation incurred by a related guarantor if, among other bases therefor, (1) the guarantor has not received fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the guaranty and (2) the guaranty renders the guarantor insolvent, as defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code or state fraudulent conveyance statutes, or the guarantor is undercapitalized.
Application by courts of the tests of “insolvency,” “reasonably equivalent value” and “fair consideration” has resulted in a conflicting body of case law. It is possible that, in an action to force a Member of the Obligated Group to pay debt service on an Obligation for which it was not the direct beneficiary, a court might not enforce such a payment in the event it is determined that the Member of the Obligated Group is analogous to a guarantor of the debt of the Member of the Obligated Group who directly benefited from the borrowing and that sufficient consideration for the Member of the Obligated Group’s guaranty was not received and that the incurrence of such Obligation has rendered or will render the Member of the Obligated Group insolvent.
The effectiveness of the security interest in the Gross Revenues granted in the Master Indenture may be limited by a number of factors, including: (i) the absence of an express provision permitting assignment of receivables owed to the Members of the Obligated Group under their contracts, and present or future prohibitions against assignment contained in any applicable statutes or regulations; (ii) certain judicial decisions which cast doubt upon the right of the Master Trustee, in the event of the bankruptcy of a Member of the Obligated Group, to collect and retain accounts receivable from Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental programs; (iii) commingling of the proceeds of Gross Revenues with other moneys not subject to the security interest in the Gross Revenues; (iv) statutory liens; (v) rights arising in favor of the United States of America or any agency thereof; (vi) constructive trusts, equitable or other rights impressed or conferred by a federal or state court in the exercise of its equitable jurisdiction; (vii) federal bankruptcy laws or state insolvency laws which may affect the enforceability of the
50
mortgage or the security interest in the Gross Revenues of the Members of the Obligated Group which are earned by the Members of the Obligated Group within 90 days, preceding or, in certain circumstances with respect to related corporations, within one year preceding and after any effectual institution of bankruptcy proceedings by or against a Member of the Obligated Group; (viii) rights of third parties in Gross Revenues converted to cash and not in the possession of the Master Trustee; and (ix) claims that might arise if appropriate financing or continuation statements are not filed or other documents are not executed in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State as from time to time in effect.
Accounts receivable of the Members of the Obligated Group which constitute Gross Revenues and are pledged as security under the Master Indenture may be sold if such sale is in accordance with the provisions of the Master Indenture. Any lien created under the Master Indenture on such accounts receivable would terminate and be immediately released upon any such sale with respect to any such accounts receivable so sold.
CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2016 DEEDS OF TRUST
The Borrowers will deliver, concurrently with the issuance of the Bonds, a lender’s title insurance policy, which runs to the Master Trustee. The face amount of the policy will be equal to at least the expected aggregate principal amount of the Bonds. The Borrowers are not required to obtain an increase in the amount of the policy in connection with the issuance of any additional Obligations subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2016 Obligations, and the title insurance policy will not pay any claim which exceeds the aggregate face amount of the policy.
The Borrowers have executed the 2016 Deeds of Trust to secure their obligations pursuant to the Master Indenture and with respect to all Obligations, including the Series 2016 Obligations. In the event that there is a default under the Master Indenture, the Bond Indenture, the Loan Agreement, or any other financing document to which a Member is a party, the Master Trustee has the right to foreclose on the Collateral Property under certain circumstances. All amounts collected upon foreclosure of the 2016 Deeds of Trust will be used to pay certain costs and expenses incurred by, or otherwise related to, the foreclosure, the performance of the Master Trustee and/or the beneficiary under the 2016 Deeds of Trust, and then to pay amounts owing under the Master Indenture with respect to the then-outstanding Obligations, including the Series 2013 Obligation, the Series 2015 Obligation, the Series 2016 Obligations and any future Obligations.
Any valuation of the Collateral Property is based on future projections of income, expenses, capitalization rates and the availability of the partial or total property tax exemption. Additionally, the value of the Collateral Property will at all times be dependent upon many factors beyond the control of the Members, such as changes in general and local economic conditions, changes in the supply of or demand for competing properties in the same locality, and changes in real estate and zoning laws or other regulatory restrictions. A material change in any of these factors could materially change the value in use of the Collateral Property. Any weakened market condition may also depress the value of the Collateral Property. Any reduction in the market value of the Collateral Property could adversely affect the security available to the owners of the Bonds. There is no assurance that the amount available upon foreclosure of the
51
Collateral Property after the payment of foreclosure costs will be sufficient to pay the amounts owing by the Borrowers with respect to the then-outstanding Obligations, including the Series 2013 Obligation, the Series 2015 Obligation, the Series 2016 Obligations and any future Obligations.
In the event of foreclosure, a prospective purchaser of some or all of the Collateral Property may assign less value to that Collateral Property than the value of the facilities while owned by the Borrowers since such purchaser may not enjoy the favorable financing rates associated with the Bonds and other benefits. To the extent that buyers whose income is not tax-exempt may be willing to pay less for the Collateral Property than nonprofit buyers, then the resale of the Collateral Property after foreclosure may require more time to solicit nonprofit buyers interested in assuming the financing now applicable to the Collateral Property. In addition, there can be no assurance that any of the facilities could be sold at one hundred percent (100%) of their fair market value in the event of foreclosure. Although the Master Trustee will have available the remedy of foreclosure of the 2016 Deeds of Trust in the event of a default (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods, and subject to any legal rights which may operate to delay or stay such foreclosure, such as may be applicable in the event of the a Borrower’s bankruptcy), there are substantial risks that the exercise of such a remedy will not result in recovery of sufficient funds to pay amounts due with respect to the then-outstanding Obligations, including the Series 2013 Obligation, the Series 2015 Obligation, the Series 2016 Obligations and any future Obligations.
Washington State foreclosure laws permit a secured party to foreclose upon mortgaged property such as the Collateral Property. Although the Master Trustee has a security interest in the Collateral Property, legal procedures connected with the exercise of remedies available may cause delays in the collection of funds available for payment of debt service on the Bonds. There can be no assurance that amounts realized from the foreclosure of the Collateral Property would be sufficient to pay the debt service on the Bonds. Potential purchasers of the Bonds should consult legal counsel or otherwise familiarize themselves with the relevant Washington State laws.
The Washington Deed of Trust Act (RCW 61.24.005(2)) defines the beneficiary of a deed of trust as the holder of the instrument or document evidencing the obligations secured by the deed of trust. In a 2012 case, the Washington Supreme Court held that Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) was not a proper beneficiary under the Deed of Trust Act because it did not hold the notes secured by the deeds of trust in question. Although that case involved residential mortgages, it has created some uncertainty as to whether, and to what extent, the court’s reasoning could apply in the commercial secured lending context to efforts to foreclose deeds of trust by collateral agents, bond trustees, master trustees or other deed of trust beneficiaries who are not the actual holders of the obligations secured.
RIGHTS OF RESIDENTS
The Borrowers enter into residency agreements with their residents. Although these agreements give to each resident a contractual right to use space and do not grant any ownership rights in the Borrowers’ communities, in the event that either the Bond Trustee or the holders of
52
the Bonds seek to enforce any of the remedies provided by the Bond Indenture upon the occurrence of a default or the Master Trustee seeks to enforce remedies under the Master Indenture or the 2016 Deeds of Trust, management is unable to predict the resolution that a court might make of competing claims between the Master Trustee, the Bond Trustee, the Commission or the holders of the Bonds and the residents of the Borrower’s facilities who have fully complied with all the terms and conditions of their Residency Agreements.
The Borrowers may, from time to time, be subject to pressure from organized groups of residents seeking, among other things, to raise the level of services or to maintain the level of facility service fees or other charges without increase. Moreover, the Borrowers may be subject to conflicting pressures from different groups of residents, some of whom may seek an increase in the level of services while others wish to hold down monthly service fees and other charges. No assurance can be given that the Borrowers will be able to satisfy such resident groups.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Retirement communities are subject to a wide variety of federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations. Among the types of regulatory requirements faced by such facilities, and by their owners and operators, are: air and water quality control requirements; waste management requirements; specific regulatory requirements applicable to asbestos, medical waste and polychlorinated biphenyls; requirements for providing notice to employees and members of the public about hazardous materials handled by or located at such facilities; requirements for training employees in the proper handling and management of hazardous materials and wastes; and other requirements (including, with respect to Park Shore, the Washington Shoreline Management Act). Owners and operators of such facilities may be subject to liability for investigating and remedying any hazardous substances that have come to be located on the property, including any such substances that may have migrated off of the property. Typical operations include, to some extent and in various combinations, the handling, use, storage, transportation, disposal and discharge of infectious, toxic, flammable and other hazardous materials, wastes, pollutants or contaminants. For this reason, the operations of the Borrowers are particularly susceptible to the practical financial and legal risks associated with compliance with such laws and regulations. Such risks may result in damage to individuals, property or the environment; may interrupt operations or increase their cost or both; may result in legal liability, damages, injunctions or fines; or may trigger investigations, administrative proceedings, penalties or other government agency actions. There can be no assurance that the Borrowers will not encounter such risks in the future, and such risks may result in material consequences to the operations or financial condition of the Borrowers.
Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and under comparable Washington State law, a secured party which takes a deed in lieu of foreclosure, purchases a mortgaged property at a foreclosure sale or operates a mortgaged property may become liable in certain circumstances for the cost of remedial action if hazardous waste or hazardous substances have been released or disposed of on the property. Such remedial action costs could subject the Collateral Property to a lien and reduce or eliminate the amounts otherwise available to pay the owners of the Bonds if such remedial action costs were incurred.
53
NATURAL DISASTERS
The occurrence of natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes and volcanic activity, may damage part or all of the Mortgaged Facilities, interrupt utility service to part or all of the Mortgaged Facilities or otherwise impair the operation of part or all of the Mortgaged Facilities or the generation of revenues from part or all of the Mortgaged Facilities beyond existing insurance coverage. No assurance is given as to the continuation of such insurance coverage, which, among other things, may not be available at a reasonable cost in the future.
CONSTRUCTION RISKS
Construction projects are subject to a variety of risks, including but not limited to delays in issuance of required building permits or other necessary approvals or permits, strikes, shortages of qualified contractors or materials and adverse weather conditions. Cost overruns may occur due to change orders, delays in construction schedules, scarcity of building materials and other factors. Cost overruns could cause project costs to exceed estimates and require more funds than originally allocated or require the Borrowers to expend or borrow additional funds to complete the Project.
POSSIBLE FUTURE CHANGES TO ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
From time to time, accounting policies and procedures change as accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States change. Such changes may cause a variation in the presentation of the financial information of the Obligated Group. There can be no assurance that any such changes would not have a material adverse impact on the Obligated Group’s compliance with certain covenants contained in the Master Indenture.
BOND RATINGS
There can be no assurance that the rating assigned to the Bonds at the time of issuance will not be lowered or withdrawn at any time, the effect of which could adversely affect the market price for and marketability of the Bonds. See the information under the heading “RATING.”
OTHER POSSIBLE RISK FACTORS
Potential purchasers should also consider the following factors prior to purchasing the Bonds. This list is not, and is not intended to be, all inclusive.
No Credit Enhancement, Lack of Liquidity. Neither the Bonds nor the Borrowers’ obligations thereunder will be secured by any form of letter of credit, bond insurance, third party guaranty, or other form of credit enhancement.
Until such time (if at all) as an investment grade rating is obtained on the Bonds, the Bond Indenture provides that resale of the Bonds is restricted to Qualified Institutional Buyers.
54
The limited universe of potential purchasers could materially adversely affect the liquidity for the Bonds. As such, investment in the Bonds is suitable only to persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity with respect to this investment and who can bear the economic risk of a complete loss of their investment. See “THE BONDS—Limitations and Investors and Restrictions on Transfer” herein.
Energy. Changes to the cost and availability of energy could, among other things, affect the cost of utilities of the Borrowers’ facilities and thereby adversely affect the operations of the Borrowers.
Changes to federal, state or local legislation or regulations. Changes to the laws and regulations affecting the Borrowers’ operations, for example, an increase in the quantity of indigent care mandated by law in order to maintain the charitable status of the Borrowers, reinstatement or establishment of mandatory governmental wage, rent or price controls, or changes in tax, pension, social security or other laws and regulations affecting the provisions of health care, retirement benefits and other services to the elderly, could have an adverse effect on the future operating or financial performance of the Borrowers.
Early Redemption. Purchasers of Bonds, including those who purchase Bonds at prices in excess of their principal amount or who hold Bonds trading at prices in excess of their principal amount, should consider that the Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity at a redemption price that may be less than the prices at which such Bonds were purchased or are trading. See “THE BONDS—Redemption of the Bonds.”
Forward-Looking Statements. Certain statements contained in this Official Statement do not reflect historical facts but instead are forecasts and “Forward-Looking Statements.” No assurance can be given that the future results discussed herein will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from the forecasts described herein. In this respect, the words “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All projections, forecasts, assumptions and other forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth in this Official Statement.
The information and expressions of opinions herein are subject to change without notice, and neither the delivery of this Official Statement nor any sale made hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Borrowers or any other person described herein since the date thereof.
ABSENCE OF MATERIAL LITIGATION
THE COMMISSION
There is no proceeding pending or threatened against the Commission to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Bonds, the Bond Indenture, the Loan Agreement or any other
55
documents executed by the Commission in connection with the Bonds, or any proceedings of the Commission taken with respect to the issuance or sale of the Bonds, the pledge or application of any money or securities provided for the payment of the Bonds or the existence or powers of the Commission insofar as they relate to the authorization, sale and issuance of the Bonds or such pledge or application of money and securities, the completeness or accuracy of this Official Statement or the existence or powers of the Commission relating to the sale of the Bonds.
THE BORROWERS
There is no litigation now pending against the Borrowers or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened, restraining or enjoining the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the Bonds, the Bond Indenture, the Loan Agreement, the Master Indenture, the Second Supplemental Master Indenture, the Series 2016 Obligations or the 2016 Deeds of Trust or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of any of these documents or of any proceedings of the Borrowers taken with respect to the issuance or sale of, or the pledge or application of any money or security provided for the payment of, the Bonds or the Series 2016 Obligations. There is no litigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened against the Borrowers except for (i) litigation being defended by insurance carriers on behalf of the Borrowers, the claims in which are entirely within the insurance policy limits of the Borrowers, (ii) litigation in which the expected maximum aggregate recovery against the Borrowers could be satisfied from the insurance or the reserves maintained by the Borrowers or (iii) claims for damages arising in the ordinary course of their operations, none of which is deemed to be material to the operation or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrowers. There is no litigation pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened that might have a material adverse effect upon the operations or financial condition of the Borrowers.
CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS
All legal matters in connection with the issuance of the Bonds are subject to the approval of Pacifica Law Group LLP, Seattle, Washington, general counsel to the Commission and Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon by Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson P.S., Seattle, Washington, special counsel to the Borrowers and the Obligated Group. Certain legal matters will be passed upon by Chapman and Cutler LLP, counsel to the Underwriter, and any opinion of such firm will be rendered solely to the Underwriter, will be limited in scope and cannot be relied upon by investors without the express written consent of such firm. The forms of Bond Counsel’s approving opinions are set forth in APPENDIX F— “FORMS OF APPROVING OPINIONS OF BOND COUNSEL” hereto. Copies of the approving opinions of Bond Counsel will be available at the time of issuance and delivery of the Bonds.
THE BOND TRUSTEE AND THE MASTER TRUSTEE
The Commission has appointed U.S. Bank National Association to serve as Bond Trustee under the Bond Indenture and the Borrowers have appointed U.S. Bank National Association to serve as Master Trustee under the Master Indenture. The Bond Trustee is to carry out those duties assignable to it under the Bond Indenture, the Loan Agreement and related financing
56
documents; and the Master Trustee is to carry out those duties assignable to it under the Master Indenture. Except for the contents of this section, the Bond Trustee and the Master Trustee have not reviewed or participated in the preparation of this Official Statement and assume no responsibility for the contents, accuracy, fairness or completeness of the information set forth in this Official Statement or for the recitals contained in the Bond Indenture, the Loan Agreement, the Master Indenture or the Bonds, or for the validity, sufficiency, or legal effect of any of such documents.
Furthermore, the Bond Trustee and the Master Trustee have no oversight responsibility, and are not accountable, for the use or application by the Commission of any of the Bonds authenticated or delivered pursuant to the Bond Indenture or for the use or application of the proceeds of such Bonds by the Commission or the Borrowers. The Bond Trustee and the Master Trustee have not evaluated the risks, benefits, or propriety of any investment in the Bonds and make no representation, and have reached no conclusions, regarding the value or condition of any assets or revenues pledged or assigned as security for the Bonds, the technical or financial feasibility of the refunding of the Series 2007A Bonds or the refinancing of the HUD Loan, or the investment quality of the Bonds, about all of which the Bond Trustee and the Master Trustee express no opinion and expressly disclaim the expertise to evaluate.
TAX MATTERS
SERIES 2016A BONDS
GENERAL
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing law and subject to certain qualifications described below, interest on the Series 2016A Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Series 2016A Bonds is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to the Series 2016A Bonds to be delivered on the date of issuance of the Bonds is set forth in APPENDIX F.
The Tax Code contains a number of requirements that apply to the Series 2016A Bonds, and the Commission and the Borrowers have made certain representations and have covenanted to comply with each such requirement. Bond Counsel’s opinion assumes the accuracy of the representations made by the Commission and the Borrowers and is subject to the condition that the Commission and the Borrowers comply with the above-referenced covenants. If the Commission or the Borrowers fail to comply with such covenants or if the Commission’s or the Borrowers’ representations are inaccurate or incomplete, interest on the Series 2016A Bonds could be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Series 2016A Bonds.
57
In addition, Bond Counsel has relied on the opinion of Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson P.S., counsel to the Borrowers regarding the current qualification of each of PRCN and Fred Lind Manor as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Tax Code and that the facilities being financed with proceeds of the Bonds are not being used in “unrelated trade or business” activities of PRCN or Fred Lind Manor as defined in Section 513(a) of the Tax Code. Failure of the Borrowers to be organized and operated in accordance with the IRS’s requirements for the maintenance of its status as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Tax Code or to operate the facilities financed or refinanced by the Series 2016A Bonds in a manner that is substantially related to its charitable purpose under Section 513(a) of the Tax Code may result in interest on the Series 2016A Bonds being included in federal gross income, possibly from the date of original issuance the Series 2016A Bonds.
Except as expressly stated herein, Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any tax consequences related to the ownership, sale or disposition of the Series 2016A Bonds, or the amount, accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series 2016A Bonds. Owners of the Series 2016A Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any collateral tax consequences of owning the Series 2016A Bonds.
ORIGINAL ISSUE PREMIUM AND DISCOUNT
If the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers) at which a Series 2016A Bond is sold is less than the amount payable at maturity thereof, then such difference constitutes “original issue discount” for purposes of federal income taxes. If the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers) at which a Series 2016A Bond is sold is greater than the amount payable at maturity thereof, then such difference constitutes “original issue premium” for purposes of federal income taxes. De minimis original issue discount and original issue premium is disregarded.
Under the Tax Code, original issue discount is treated as interest excluded from federal gross income to the extent properly allocable to each owner thereof subject to the limitations described in the first paragraph of this section. The original issue discount accrues over the term to maturity of the Series 2016A Bond on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded on each interest or principal payment date (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). The amount of original issue discount accruing during each period is added to the adjusted basis of such Series 2016A Bonds to determine taxable gain upon disposition (including sale, redemption, or payment on maturity) of such Series 2016A Bond. The Tax Code contains certain provisions relating to the accrual of original issue discount in the case of purchasers of the Series 2016A Bonds who purchase the Series 2016A Bonds after the initial offering of a substantial amount of such maturity. Owners of such Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of Series 2016A Bonds with original issue discount, including the treatment of purchasers who do not purchase in the original offering, the allowance of a deduction for any loss on a sale or other disposition, and the treatment of accrued original issue discount on such Series 2016A Bonds under federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes.
58
Under the Tax Code, original issue premium is amortized on an annual basis over the term of the Series 2016A Bond (said term being the shorter of the Series 2016A Bond’s maturity date or its call date). The amount of original issue premium amortized each year reduces the adjusted basis of the owner of the Series 2016A Bond for purposes of determining taxable gain or loss upon disposition. The amount of original issue premium on a Bond is amortized each year over the term to maturity of the Series 2016A Bond on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded on each interest or principal payment date (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). Amortized Bond premium is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Owners of premium Bonds, including purchasers who do not purchase in the original offering, should consult their own tax advisors with respect to federal income tax consequences of owning such Bonds.
POST ISSUANCE MATTERS
The opinion of Bond Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities, and represents Bond Counsel’s judgment as to the proper treatment of the Series 2016A Bonds for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. Furthermore, Bond Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion or assurance about the future activities of the Commission or the Borrowers, or about the effect of future changes in the Tax Code, the applicable regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS.
Bond Counsel’s engagement with respect to the Series 2016A Bonds ends with the issuance of the Series 2016A Bonds, and, unless separately engaged, Bond Counsel is not obligated to defend the Commission, the Borrowers or the Owners regarding the tax-exempt status of the Series 2016A Bonds in the event of an audit examination by the IRS. Under current procedures, parties other than the Commission and its appointed counsel, including the Owners, would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit examination process. Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit examination of tax-exempt bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with which the Commission legitimately disagrees, may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS, including but not limited to selection of the Series 2016A Bonds for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an audit of bonds presenting similar tax issues may affect the market price for, or the marketability of, the Series 2016A Bonds, and may cause the Commission, the Borrowers or the Owners to incur significant expense.
Current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Tax Code or court decisions may cause interest on the Series 2016A Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation, or otherwise prevent beneficial owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduction or enactment of any such legislative proposals, clarification of the Tax Code or court decisions may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the Series 2016A Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2016A Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion.
59
SERIES 2016B BONDS
The interest on the Series 2016B Bonds is not intended by the Commission to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Owners of the Series 2016B Bonds should be aware that the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series 2016B Bonds may have federal income tax consequences not described herein and should consult their own tax advisors with respect to federal income tax consequences of owning such Series 2016B Bonds. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any federal or state tax consequences arising with respect to the Series 2016B Bonds other than as expressly described above.
The proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to the Series 2016B Bonds to be delivered on the date of issuance of the Series 2016B Bonds is set forth in APPENDIX F.
NOT BANK QUALIFIED
The Commission has not designated the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The audited consolidated financial statements of PRCN and its subsidiaries, including Skyline, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, were audited by Clark Nuber P.S., independent auditors, as stated in their reports included herein, and are included in APPENDIX B—“REPORTS OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PRCN AND SUBSIDIARIES (OTHER THAN FRED LIND MANOR) FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, 2014 AND 2013” to this Official Statement. Clark Nuber P.S. has not been engaged to perform and has not performed, since the date of its auditor’s reports included herein, any procedures on the audited financial statements addressed in those reports.
Commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, the audited consolidated financial statements of PRCN and its subsidiaries will include Fred Lind Manor.
FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
Management’s financial forecast for the five years ending September 30, 2020, included as part of the Financial Feasibility Study included in APPENDIX C hereto, has been examined by Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP, independent certified public accountants, as stated in their report dated July 28, 2016 appearing in APPENDIX C. As stated in the Financial Feasibility Study, there will usually be differences between the forecasted data and actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. The Financial Feasibility Study should be read in its entirety, including Management’s notes and assumptions set forth therein.
60
UNDERWRITING
Pursuant to a bond purchase agreement (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Commission, PRCN, as Obligated Group Representative, and B.C. Ziegler and Company (the “Underwriter”), the Underwriter will purchase the Bonds at an aggregate purchase price of $______, which purchase price reflects $______of aggregate principal amount less $______of Underwriter’s discount plus $______of original issue premium. The Bond Purchase Agreement will provide that the Underwriter will purchase all of the Bonds if any are purchased.
The Underwriter reserves the right to join with dealers and other underwriters in offering the Bonds to the public. The Bond Purchase Agreement will provide for the Borrowers to indemnify the Underwriter and the Commission against certain liabilities. The obligation of the Underwriter to accept delivery of the Bonds will be subject to various conditions of the Bond Purchase Agreement.
In connection with this financing, the Borrowers will establish various funds and accounts with the Bond Trustee that will hold net bond proceeds or other funds until they are withdrawn and expended. Under the terms of the Bond Indenture and the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers may direct the Bond Trustee to invest some or all of the funds within the investment parameters established in the Bond Indenture or the Loan Agreement, as applicable. It is possible that the Borrowers will elect to hire Ziegler Capital Management, LLC (a registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission), to direct the investment of these funds. If that occurs, Ziegler Capital Management, LLC will receive a fee for managing those assets. At this time, no relationship has been formally established. As of November 30, 2013, Ziegler Capital Management, LLC is no longer an affiliate of B.C. Ziegler and Company; provided, however, the parties have entered into a referral agreement through which referral fees may be paid.
RATING
Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) has assigned a rating of “BB+” to the Bonds. Any explanation of the meaning of a rating can be obtained from the service providing the rating.
The Obligated Group has furnished Fitch with certain information and materials relating to the Bonds and the Obligated Group that have not been included in this Official Statement. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings on the information and materials so furnished and on investigations, studies, and assumptions by the rating agencies. There is no assurance that a particular rating will be maintained for any given period of time or that it will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely if, in the judgment of the agency originally establishing the rating, circumstances so warrant. Neither the Commission nor the Underwriter has undertaken any responsibility to bring to the attention of the holders of the Bonds any proposed revision or withdrawal of the rating of the Bonds. None of the Commission, the Underwriter nor the Obligated Group has undertaken responsibility to oppose any such proposed revision or withdrawal. Any such change in or withdrawal of such rating could have an adverse effect on the market price and marketability of the Bonds.
61
DESPITE SUCH RATING, THE PURCHASE OF THE BONDS INVOLVES A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE OF RISK. THE SALE OF THE BONDS IS INTENDED ONLY FOR QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYERS, AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS SET FORTH IN THE BOND INDENTURE. RESALE OF THE BONDS IS LIMITED AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. SEE “THE BONDS—LIMITATIONS ON INVESTORS AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER” AND “RISK FACTORS” HEREIN.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
Because the Bonds are limited obligations of the Commission, payable solely from amounts received from the Borrowers and any other Obligated Group Members, financial or operating data concerning the Commission is not material to an evaluation of the offering of the Bonds or to any decision to purchase, hold or sell the Bonds. Accordingly, the Commission is not providing any financial or operating data. PRCN, on behalf of the Obligated Group, has undertaken all responsibilities for any continuing disclosure to Holders of the Bonds, as described below, and the Commission shall have no liability to the Holders of the Bonds or any other person with respect to Rule 15c2-12 (“Rule 15c2-12”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission the (“SEC”).
PRCN, on behalf of the Obligated Group, has covenanted for the benefit of Holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds to file, or to cause a dissemination agent to file, the following information with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”) in an electronic format by transmission to the Electronic Municipal Market Access system (referred to as “EMMA”) and accompanied by identifying information as prescribed by the MSRB:

The Obligated Group’s obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Agreement with respect to the Bonds shall terminate upon the defeasance, prior redemption or payment in full of all the Bonds or if Rule 15c2-12 shall be revoked or rescinded by the SEC or declared invalid by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. These covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Rule 15c2-12. See APPENDIX G— “FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT” for a form of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.
PRCN has previously executed a similar continuing disclosure agreement related to the Series 2013 Bonds; Skyline has previously executed similar continuing disclosure agreements related to bonds (including the Series 2007A Bonds) issued in 2007 and the Series 2015 Bonds; and Fred Lind Manor has previously executed a similar continuing disclosure agreement related to a series of bonds issued in 1997 (which bonds were refinanced with the proceeds of the HUD Loan) (collectively, the “Prior Disclosure Agreements”). Failure by PRCN, Skyline or Fred Lind Manor to comply with the Prior Disclosure Agreements must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the purchase or sale of such other bonds in the secondary market. Any such failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Bonds and their market price.
During the five-year period preceding this Official Statement, PRCN (i) filed certain of its required annual disclosures from 2 to 35 days late, (ii) failed to include required accountant’s certificates in certain of its annual filings, (iii) failed to include required officer’s certificates in certain of its quarterly filings, and (iv) filed certain of its required quarterly disclosures from 5 days to 13 weeks late.
During the five-year period preceding this Official Statement, Skyline (i) filed certain of its required annual disclosures from 3 to 35 days late, (ii) failed to include required accountant’s certificates in certain of its annual filings, (iii) filed certain of its required monthly disclosures
65
from one day to 11 weeks late and (iv) failed to file the monthly report for the month of May 2014. The May 2014 financial information was included in a subsequent filing by Skyline.
Management of the Obligated Group has implemented procedures to ensure full compliance with the requirements of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement and the Prior Disclosure Agreements, including engaging Digital Assurance Certification, LLC to assist in the collection of all relevant data required under continuing disclosure undertakings and to review its continuing disclosure filings. In addition, PRCN, as Obligated Group Representative, has engaged U.S. Bank National Association to act as dissemination agent under the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.

A-ii INTRODUCTION
Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest (“PRCN”) is a Washington nonprofit corporation that was established in 1956 to develop, own and operate senior living facilities. Today, PRCN owns or controls three communities, all located in Seattle, Washington. One of these communities, Park Shore, is operated as a division of PRCN. Park Shore is a continuing care retirement community located in a residential neighborhood of Seattle on the shores of Lake Washington, offering options for independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care. Skyline is a continuing care retirement community located on the edge of downtown Seattle and owned by FH, LLC, a Washington limited liability corporation of which PRCN is the sole member. (Both the community, Skyline, and the ownership entity, FH, LLC, are referred to herein as “Skyline,.” and the meaning will depend on the context) The third community, Fred Lind Manor, has independent living and assisted living units and is owned by Fred Lind Manor, a Washington nonprofit corporation of which PRCN is the sole member.
The Park Shore, Skyline and Fred Lind Manor communities are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Obligated Group Communities.” For a description of the Obligated Group Communities, see “OBLIGATED GROUP COMMUNITIES” herein.
PRCN and Fred Lind Manor are each organizations described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Because PRCN is the sole member of Skyline, for federal income tax purposes Skyline is disregarded as a separate entity from PRCN, and by virtue of this treatment, Skyline is also exempt from federal income taxation as an organization described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.
Excluding Skyline and Fred Lind Manor, PRCN also directly or indirectly controls six other entities that support the activities of PRCN. See “AFFILIATES” herein. These affiliates are not Members of the Obligated Group and are not obligated, directly or indirectly, with respect to the Series 2016 Bonds.
THE MASTER INDENTURE AND THE OBLIGATED GROUP
Upon issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds, PRCN, Skyline and Fred Lind Manor will be the members of an obligated group (the “Obligated Group”) formed under the Master Trust Indenture dated as of June 1, 2013, as amended (the “Master Indenture”). Each member of the Obligated Group will be jointly and severally liable for payments with respect to all of the Obligations issued under the Master Indenture, including but not limited to Obligation No. 2 and Obligation No. 3 securing the Series 2016 Bonds. For additional information regarding the Master Indenture, see “INTRODUCTION - The Obligated Group and the Master Indenture,” “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS” and “CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE OBLIGATED GROUP UNDER THE MASTER INDENTURE” in the forepart of this Official Statement and Appendix E hereto.
Pursuant to the Master Indenture, PRCN previously issued Obligation No. 1, which will remain outstanding after issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds. Pursuant to a separate Master Trust Indenture dated as of January 1, 2007 (as supplemented and amended, the “Skyline Master
A-1
Indenture”) between Skyline and U.S. Bank National Association, as master trustee, Skyline has previously issued the Series 2007A Skyline Note and the Series 2015 Skyline Note, both of which are outstanding as of the date hereof. Concurrently with the issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds, a portion of the proceeds of the Series 2016 Bonds will be used to defease the Series 2007A Skyline Note, and PRCN, as Obligated Group Representative under the Master Indenture, will issue Obligation No. 4 in substitution for the Series 2015 Skyline Note. For additional information concerning the outstanding obligations of the Members of the Obligated Group, see “INTRODUCTION - The Obligated Group and the Master Indenture” in the forepart of this Official Statement.
As of the date of issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds, PRCN, Fred Lind Manor and Skyline will be the only Members of the Obligated Group. Other affiliates of PRCN will not be Members of the Obligated Group, and will not be obligated for the payment and performance of Obligations issued under the Master Indenture or otherwise with respect to the Series 2016 Bonds; and the revenues of such affiliates will not be subject to the pledge of Gross Revenues created under the Master Indenture.
This Appendix A is intended to provide information about the Obligated Group and the Obligated Group Communities that is not found elsewhere in this Official Statement. For further information about the Obligated Group, particular reference should be made to the audited consolidated financial statements of PRCN and subsidiaries (other than Fred Lind Manor) for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015, and the supplemental consolidating information included therein for the same periods, which are included in this Official Statement as Appendix B. Additional information on the Obligated Group is set forth in the Financial Feasibility Study included in this Official Statement as Appendix C.
DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in APPENDIX D—“Summary of Certain Provisions of Principal Bond Documents— Certain Definitions” and APPENDIX E—“Summary of Certain Provisions of the Master Indenture and the 2016 Deeds of Trust.”
THE PROJECTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
THE PROJECTS
Skyline Refunding. Approximately $101,639,658, derived from the proceeds of the Series 2016A Bonds and amounts transferred from the debt service funds and the debt service reserve fund securing the Series 2007A Bonds, will be deposited into an escrow account and used to refund, on a current basis, all of the outstanding Series 2007A Bonds and pay accrued interest thereon through the call date of January 1, 2017.
Park Shore Project. Approximately $28,637,175 of the proceeds of the Series 2016A Bonds will be used to pay or reimburse Park Shore for all of the estimated costs, excluding the
A-2
development fees described below, of a project that will renovate and expand Park Shore, as further described below (the “Park Shore Project”).
There are two phases of the Park Shore Project. Phase 1 consists of the interior renovations of resident corridors and solariums, renovation of the 15th floor lounge, addition of a new movie theater, relocation of the resident-managed exchange room, conversion of the chapel to a multipurpose room, and the creation of a new grand staircase to connect two of the common areas floors. The 3rd floor is to be converted from assisted living to a memory care suite with 15 units. Each of the 3rd and 4th floors will also gain new common dining, living, and activity spaces. Phase 1 began in July 2016 and is anticipated to be completed in June 2017.
Phase 2 will entail the addition of new architectural features to the building structure, as well as interior renovations including the reconfiguration of the lowest level to provide new fitness and salon/spa areas. The major components include the addition of a new indoor pool on the pavilion level; the enclosure of the existing breezeway entrance to create a new entry, lobby, reading room, cafe, and marketing and meeting room at the front of the building; the raising of the entry court and driveways to provide barrier-free access to the new front door location; and the installation of a new glazed window wall system on the east facade to replace the existing precast concrete lattice decoration. It is anticipated that Phase 2 will start in August 2017 and finish in June 2018.
Park Shore will remain in operation during the implementation of the Park Shore Project. The Park Shore Project has been staged to limit disruption to residents. Neither phase of the Park Shore Project is dependent upon completion of the other.
To provide for architectural and design services for the Park Shore Project, PRCN has engaged Perkins Eastman Architects DPC (“Perkins Eastman”), an international planning, design, and consulting firm founded in 1981. Perkins Eastman has more than 20 principals involved with senior living communities and has completed more than 600 senior living design projects.
PRCN has entered into a Pre-Construction Agreement with Halvorson Construction Group, LLC (“Halvorson”) to perform pre-construction services for the Park Shore Project. PRCN anticipates that it will also engage Halvorson as the general contractor pursuant to an AIA guaranteed maximum price construction contract that has not yet been executed. Halvorson was founded in 1985, has been managed by a new ownership team since 2010, and is based in Kirkland, Washington. Halvorson has completed over 20 construction projects for senior living communities located in California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Oregon and Washington. In addition, Halvorson’s projects have included multi-family housing, hotels, churches, schools, commercial office buildings and tenant improvements. A Vice President/Principal of Halvorson, Tom Vasilatos, also is a member of PRCN’s Board of Directors. For additional information on PRCN’s conflict of interest policy, see “CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY” in this Appendix A.
Condominium Project. Approximately $3,475,000 of the proceeds of the Series 2016B Bonds will be used to reimburse PRCN for the costs of acquiring and renovating three condominium units located in separate buildings proximate to Park Shore and operated by PRCN
A-3
as additional independent living units for the Park Shore community (the “Condominium Project”).
Fred Lind Manor Project. Approximately $2,500,000 of the proceeds of the Series 2016B Bonds will be used to pay or reimburse Fred Lind Manor for the costs of renovations to Fred Lind Manor (the “Fred Lind Manor Project”). Renovations already completed have resulted in significant upgrades to approximately 20 apartments, hallways and common areas (including lobby, kitchen, and dining areas), the installation of Wi-Fi and nurse call systems, and the payment of permitting costs and development fees, at a cost of approximately $1,500,000. Future improvements are anticipated to consist of renovations of the remaining apartments and repurposing the basement to provide additional common space at a cost of approximately $1,000,000.
HUD Loan Refinancing. Approximately $3,712,766 of the proceeds of the Series 2016B Bonds will be used to repay or reimburse Fred Lind Manor for the costs (including prepayment penalty) of prepaying in full the outstanding amount of a loan (as described in this paragraph, the “HUD Loan”) or to repay short-term indebtedness incurred by Fred Lind Manor to repay the HUD Loan. The HUD Loan is a taxable loan in the original principal amount of $3,822,200 and evidenced by a note payable to Love Funding Corporation (the “HUD Lender”). A deed of trust on the real property associated with Fred Lind Manor (the “FLM Property”) is part of the security for the HUD Loan, and such deed of trust is insured by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) under the provisions of Section 232, pursuant to Section 223(1)(7) of the National Housing Act. The HUD Loan is prepayable on the last day of any month upon 30 days’ advance written notice to the HUD Lender, provided that such prepayment is accompanied by the applicable prepayment penalty.
In connection with the insuring of the HUD Loan, Fred Lind Manor and HUD entered into a Regulatory Agreement, dated July 1, 2012 (the “Regulatory Agreement”). To the extent that Fred Lind Manor’s affiliation with PRCN constituted a transfer or disposition of the FLM Property, the Regulatory Agreement requires Fred Lind Manor to obtain HUD’s prior written approval of such affiliation. Fred Lind Manor has requested such approval but, as of the date of this Official Statement, HUD has neither approved the affiliation nor given Fred Lind Manor notice of default under the Regulatory Agreement. By its terms, the Regulatory Agreement will terminate upon payment in full of the HUD Loan. (The Regulatory Agreement is unrelated to a Low-Income Housing Covenant, to which Fred Lind Manor is also subject. See “OBLIGATED GROUP COMMUNITIES – FRED LIND MANOR – Fred Lind Manor Low-Income Housing Covenant” herein.)
Development Services. In connection with the Park Shore Project, PRCN Services, LLC is providing comprehensive master-planning, repositioning, development and project management services to PRCN. The development fees estimated to be charged by PRCN Services, LLC for the Park Shore Project are $1,427,359. A portion of the development fees for the Park Shore Project will be paid from a portion of the proceeds of the Series 2016A Bonds in the amount of approximately $350,000, which amount equals the estimated actual costs to PRCN Services, LLC of providing development services for the Park Shore Project. The remainder of development fees for the Park Shore Project will be paid from a portion of the proceeds of the
A-4
Series 2016B Bonds in the amount of approximately $1,077,359. Development fees will be paid to PRCN Services, LLC in monthly installments, the amount of which will vary depending on whether the project is in a pre-construction or construction phase. For additional information on PRCN Services, LLC, see “AFFILIATES – PRCN Services, LLC” in this Appendix A.
EXETER HOUSE SALE
PRCN formerly operated a senior living community known as Exeter House, located in Seattle, Washington approximately 0.3 miles from Skyline. In January 2016, PRCN entered into an agreement (the “Exeter House Sale Agreement”) to sell the land and building of Exeter House, along with certain related personal property (but excluding its operations). In anticipation of such sale, in May 2016 PRCN transferred all real and personal property associated with Exeter House (including its operations) and assigned its rights and obligations under the Exeter House Sale Agreement to Exeter LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PRCN. For additional information on Exeter LLC, see “AFFILIATES – Exeter LLC” in this Appendix A.
The sale of Exeter House closed on May 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Exeter LLC, by and between Exeter LLC and PRCN as its sole member, Exeter LLC used a portion of the sale proceeds to pay amounts necessary to (i) reimburse PRCN for its expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of residents from Exeter House to other Obligated Group Communities, (ii) defease $6,945,000 principal amount of then- outstanding tax-exempt bonds allocated to capital expenditures at Exeter House, in accordance with the requirements of the Code, and (iii) pay PRCN a fee equivalent to 1 percent of the purchase price under the Exeter House Sale Agreement. The remaining sale proceeds may be used by Exeter LLC to fund a short-term loan to Fred Lind Manor to finance the repayment of the HUD Loan (see “THE PROJECTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS – The Projects – HUD Loan Repayment” above); to finance the strategic growth of PRCN through acquisitions, affiliations or joint ventures (see “THE PROJECTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS – Future Plans” below); or to advance other charitable purposes of PRCN.
PRCN currently leases the Exeter House facility from its owner pursuant to a lease that will expire no later than September 30, 2016. Exeter LLC continues to operate the Exeter House community and will wind down its operations. The purchaser of Exeter House plans to repurpose the facility, which will not be used as a senior living community.
At the time of its sale, Exeter House consisted of 80 independent living apartments and 25 assisted living apartments. Most of these apartments were rental units leased to residents on a month-to-month basis. A substantial number of former Exeter House residents have relocated to Fred Lind Manor. It is anticipated that the remaining residents of Exeter House will relocate to other residences, which may include Obligated Group Communities, prior to expiration of the lease.
A-5
FUTURE PLANS
PRCN is undertaking a master planning process for the Obligated Group Communities and has formed a strategic planning committee (including financial, marketing and architectural expertise) to spearhead this process.
PRCN continuously evaluates opportunities for potential acquisitions, affiliations, joint ventures and divestitures that would enhance its ability to provide high quality, cost effective housing for seniors. Management identifies and holds discussions regarding possible strategic initiatives to assess their suitability and financial feasibility. Evaluation of potential strategic projects includes an assessment of various factors such as financial strength, competitive position, scope and location of services, quality and cultural fit. As part of its evaluations of such opportunities, PRCN regularly enters into letters of intent, which are not definitive agreements, regarding potential acquisitions, affiliations and developments. It is possible that PRCN will enter into a letter of intent or a definitive agreement to acquire or develop other senior living communities at any time. Further, any such acquisition or development (other than the possible Skyline 2 development described below) would be undertaken by an entity that is not a Member of the Obligated Group. Management of PRCN anticipates that the costs of any such development or acquisition would be paid from debt incurred by such entities, proceeds from the sale of Exeter House, other sources of funds, or a combination thereof.
Skyline 2. PRCN is currently evaluating the possibility of building additional senior living units on land it owns adjacent to Skyline. Any new development would be contingent, among other factors, upon meeting financial benchmarks and being accretive to Skyline’s operation.
Foss Waterway Development. PRCN is evaluating a potential senior living project near the Foss Waterway in Tacoma, Washington, consisting of 125 senior living apartments. A conceptual proposal has been made to the City of Tacoma; however, any such project would require the approval of the Tacoma City Council. This project will not be financed with the proceeds of the Series 2016 Bonds. If the project proceeds, it is anticipated that the project would be undertaken by a newly formed entity outside of the Obligated Group.
GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
GOVERNING BOARD OF PRCN
PRCN has no corporate members and is governed by its Board of Directors (the “PRCN Board”). The PRCN Board is a self-perpetuating body of not less than 5 or more than 21 individuals which currently consists of 13 members.

As sole member and manager of Skyline, PRCN has full, complete and exclusive authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs and properties of Skyline, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of Skyline’s business. Skyline’s limited liability agreement provides that the officers of Skyline may include a president, one or more vice presidents, a secretary and a treasurer, who shall also be the chief financial officer of Skyline. Any number of offices may be held by the same person. The officers of Skyline are to be chosen by PRCN, and each officer holds his or her office until his or her successor is appointed. An officer may be removed, with or without cause, by PRCN.
The business and affairs of Fred Lind Manor are managed by its Board of Directors (the “FLM Board”), subject to certain rights reserved to PRCN as its sole member.

The current membership of the FLM Board is identical to that of the PRCN Board. Further, Fred Lind Manor’s bylaws require the Chair and Vice-Chair of the FLM Board to be the Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively, of the PRCN Board. See “GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT – Governing Board of PRCN” above.
Torsten Hirche, the President and Chief Executive Officer of PRCN, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of each of Skyline and Fred Lind Manor. See “GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT – PRCN Executive Management Team” below.
SKYLINE AND FRED LIND MANOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
PRCN has entered into separate management agreements with each of Skyline and Fred Lind Manor, pursuant to which PRCN acts as an independent contractor to manage and operate the respective communities and provides other related services (the “Management Agreements”). The employees of each community remain employees of Skyline and Fred Lind Manor, respectively.
Under the versions of the Management Agreements that will be in effect on October 1, 2016, PRCN will receive as compensation a management fee equal to 5 percent of each community’s cash operating revenue, defined as all receipts derived from operation of the community, including (without limitation) entrance fees, monthly fees and other fees for goods or services, but excluding deposits held in escrow, tax refunds, condemnation proceeds or awards, and insurance proceeds; and additional fees for providing information systems, accounting systems and services, and services provided by the Foundation (as herein defined) (collectively, the “Management Fees”). Management Fees are billed and due monthly. If a community’s monthly revenues are insufficient to pay monthly charges for Management Fees, PRCN will notify the community and Skyline or Fred Lind Manor, as applicable, must deposit available funds from sources other than monthly revenues in an operating bank account sufficient to cover the deficiency. PRCN has no obligation to use its own funds to cover operating shortfalls at Skyline or Fred Lind Manor.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
PRCN’s conflict of interest policy addresses transactions involving members of the PRCN Board, its officers, its executives, and any other manager or supervisor identified by the PRCN Board or president as exercising substantial influence over PRCN’s operations (each, a “Covered Person”). Each Covered Person is required to read, understand and comply with PRCN’s conflict of interest policy and file an annual disclosure of actual and potential conflicts of interest. A-9
PRCN, the other Members of the Obligated Group or any of the Non-Obligated Entities (defined below) may enter into a transaction in which a Covered Person has a conflict of interest, but only if (i) the Covered Person has disclosed the conflict of interest, (ii) a majority of PRCN’s disinterested directors approve the transaction after determining, in good faith and after reasonable investigation, that the transaction is fair and reasonable to PRCN and in PRCN’s best interest, (iii) the Covered Person does not participate in and is not present for the vote regarding such transaction (except to answer questions concerning the transaction), and (iv) in any transaction involving financial benefit to the Covered Person, the Board relies upon appropriate comparability data, such as an independent appraisal or compensation study, in reaching its determination as to the fairness and reasonableness of the transaction.
Tom Vasilatos, a member of PRCN’s Board, also is a Vice President/Principal of Halvorson, which has been engaged to provide pre-construction services and may be engaged as the general contractor for the Park Shore Project.

PARK SHORE
Park Shore General Description. Park Shore is a continuing care retirement community with 113 independent living units, 30 assisted living units and 28 skilled nursing beds. Park Shore is also licensed to provide adult day services to up to six non-resident individuals at a time. Of the independent living units, three are condominium units located near Park Shore and operated by PRCN. A portion of the proceeds of the Series 2016B Bonds will reimburse PRCN for the purchase of the condominium units.
Park Shore occupies an approximately 221,759 square foot, 15-story building with two below-grade levels containing common areas and a 64-stall underground parking garage. It is located in the Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle, on the shores of Lake Washington (190 feet of lake frontage). This premium location provides residents with the benefits of a quiet, walkable residential setting, close access to neighborhood shopping, the beach and parks, and easy access to Seattle’s hospital district, downtown, and bridge access across Lake Washington. Park Shore’s location also provides outstanding views over Lake Washington, stretching from the University of Washington’s Husky stadium to the north, the Cascade Mountains to the east, and Mt. Rainier to the south.
Park Shore was originally constructed in 1963, and has undergone significant updating and renovation including an extensive remodel of portions of the kitchen and dining room, front entry lobby and living room/lounge on the first floor. This work also involved the creation of a multi-use room suitable for private dining, meetings, movie viewing, presentations, and musical performances by small groups. Other Park Shore common areas include several smaller lounge and meeting rooms, which can be reserved by residents for private functions and/or dining, a chapel/multipurpose room, computer center, painting/floral studio, fitness center, massage therapy, hair and acupuncture salons, lakeside pavilion with indoor barbeque, boat dock and moorage, and two lakeside garden areas. Park Shore’s “Top of the Park” 15th-floor lounge area, surrounded by an outdoor walking balcony, offers 360-degree views.
A portion of the proceeds of the Series 2016 Bonds will be used for further renovations of the Park Shore community. See “THE PROJECTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS” in this Appendix A.
A-13
Park Shore Independent Living Services and Fees. PRCN currently requires most residents desiring accommodations in Park Shore’s independent living apartments to enter into an entrance-fee-based contract (“Residency Agreement”). These Residency Agreements provide that residents are entitled to occupy a designated independent living unit and to use one assigned parking space and storage unit. In addition, such residents receive selected weekly housekeeping services (additional housekeeping services may be provided for an extra charge), up to three (3) meals per day (custom dietary requirements may be accommodated for an extra charge), and utilities (including basic cable, local telephone and voice mail, electricity, heat, water, sewer and garbage). Residents also have access to a licensed nurse for consultations at posted times, and to a variety of educational, religious, entertainment, recreational, and fitness and wellness programs offered by PRCN from time to time. Finally, residents who have entered into an entrance-fee-based Residency Agreement are entitled to receive a lifetime total of thirty (30) days of care in Park Shore’s Health Center for assisted living or skilled nursing services (the “Healthcare Benefit”), with no change in the resident’s normal monthly service fees or incurrence of Park Shore Health Center Daily Rate Charges. See “OBLIGATED GROUP COMMUNITIES—Park Shore—Park Shore Health Care Services” herein. If such a resident receives assisted living services or skilled nursing services in excess of this 30-day benefit, he or she is required to pay for such services on a fee-for-service basis. This Healthcare Benefit is intended to be supplemental to any other public or private benefits available to a resident, and will be available only after the resident has exhausted such other benefits (including but not limited to Medicare and private insurance).
For additional information on anticipated changes to unit configuration resulting from the Park Shore Project, see “THE PROJECT AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS—The Projects” in this Appendix A.
Park Shore Assisted Living Services. Residents participating in Park Shore’s assisted living program receive the range of services described below under the caption “PARK SHORE— Park Shore Health Care Services—Assisted Living Services.” Monthly service fees for such services charged to a particular resident vary depending upon the size of the unit occupied by such resident.
Park Shore Residency Agreements. The standard entrance-fee-based Residency Agreement for Park Shore currently includes the provisions summarized in this section.
Application for Residency; Waitlist. Individuals interested in residency at Park Shore are required to demonstrate sufficient health and financial capacity to participate in the Park Shore program on a sustained basis. Individuals wishing to be placed on a waitlist for possible occupancy at a future time are required to pay a $1,000 Waitlist Deposit Fee. If the party subsequently decides to move into Park Shore, the entire Waitlist Deposit Fee is credited toward the applicable entrance fee. As of June 30, 2016, Park Shore’s waitlist had 231 applicants.
Termination of Residency. Each Residency Agreement provides that there shall be a 90-day “Trial Period,” which begins upon commencement of occupancy. During the Trial Period, either PRCN or the resident may terminate the Residency Agreement, for any reason, upon not less than 15 days prior written notice. After the Trial Period, a resident may terminate
A-14
its Residency Agreement for any reason; however, PRCN may terminate a Residency Agreement after the Trial Period only for good cause. Termination of a Residency Agreement after the Trial Period by either party requires not less than 30 days prior written notice.
Transfer to Another Level of Care. All decisions about level of care placement, including both transfers within the Park Shore community and to an alternate care setting, and whether such transfer is temporary or permanent, are made by PRCN in its sole discretion, in conformance with applicable law and in consultation with affected residents and their representatives and personal physicians. Determinations that a permanent transfer should be made are based on PRCN’s judgment that the resident requires care and services that are not provided by Park Shore or, if provided by others, such care and services would fundamentally alter the nature of, or unduly burden, Park Shore. Residents who are asked to transfer to a different level of care may be required to vacate their independent living unit apartments; should any recuperate sufficiently to resume independent living, a comparable unit will be provided to the resident, subject to availability. As a condition to admission to the Health Center or to an assisted living unit, residents are required to execute a Health Center or Assisted Living Admission Agreement.
Refunds. Entrance fees are only subject to refund as follows:
Prior to Occupancy. If a resident dies or withdraws his or her application for residency prior to actually commencing occupancy of a particular unit, any entrance fee deposit he or she has made will be refunded in full, less an “Administrative and Service Fee” of $7,500, and less the cost of upgrades made to any unit at the request of the resident.
Termination During the Trial Period. If a resident or PRCN terminates a Residency Agreement during the applicable Trial Period, the resident will be entitled to a full refund of the entrance fee he or she has paid, less the Administrative and Service Fee and other fees due to PRCN for services rendered, and less the cost of upgrades made to the resident’s unit at his or her request.
Termination After the Trial Period. If a resident or PRCN terminates a Residency Agreement after the Trial Period, the resident will be entitled to a refund of the entrance fee he or she has paid, less one-thirty-sixth for each full or partial month that has elapsed from the effective date of the Residency Agreement until the date of termination. After 36 months from such effective date, no entrance fee refund is payable. The amount of any entrance fee refund is further reduced by the reasonable costs to PRCN of refurbishing the resident’s independent living unit, assisted living unit or Health Center bed (as applicable) to its condition prior to the resident’s occupancy, normal wear and tear excepted, and by the amount of any unpaid charges for care or other services provided by PRCN..
Refund in the Event of Dissolution, Divorce or Separation. In the event a couple who have paid an entrance fee for a Park Shore unit divorce or separate and one of the couple chooses to remain in the community, no entrance fee refund will be paid to the departing resident. If neither elects to remain in the community, any entrance fee refund will be divided and paid in accordance with any written property settlement agreement between the parties or by court order.
A-15
Payment of Refund. Entrance fee refunds due to any resident are payable by PRCN no later than 30 days after the resident has vacated residency. Under standard contracts for Park Shore, payment of the refund is not contingent upon the resale or reoccupancy of the unit. As of May 31, 2016, PRCN’s expected entrance fee refund liability to Park Shore residents was $6,493,312.
Park Shore Health Care Services.
Assisted Living Services. The assisted living program at Park Shore includes the following services: meals and snacks; restaurant style dining; assistance with day to day care needs; eight hours per day, seven days per week licensed nursing coverage; 24-hour staff availability with certified assistants; fitness program; group activities and entertainment; housekeeping and linen service; utilities (including local telephone and basic cable); 24-hour security; and personal alarm system.
Skilled Nursing Services. Residents may be transferred to the Park Shore Health Center upon physician order, if it is determined that they will benefit from skilled nursing care on a 24-hour basis. PRCN also accepts patients to the Park Shore Health Center as direct admissions. Skilled nursing provides minimal to maximum assistance in all areas of daily living. All of Park Shore’s skilled nursing rooms are semi-private, except for one room, which is private. The daily rate for skilled nursing includes 24-hour routine nursing care, administration of medication, restorative therapy, therapeutic diets, personal laundry, hydrotherapy baths, social services, chaplain, and recreational therapy. Oxygen concentrators and some types of pressure-relief specialty mattresses are also included.
Rates for skilled nursing services vary depending on the room type and level of care provided. For semi-private rooms, the rate for skilled nursing is $400 per day, the bed-hold fee is $381 per day, and a 10% discount is given to residents with entrance fee contracts. For private rooms, the rate for skilled nursing and the bed-hold fee each is $470 per day, and no discount is given.
Occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy are billed at $54.60 per one-quarter hour. Supplies and special services are provided for an additional charge.
Alternate Care. PRCN does not operate any health care facilities serving Park Shore residents other than the assisted living and Park Shore Health Center services described above. If a resident’s mental or physical needs require services beyond those provided by Park Shore, the Park Shore Executive Director may arrange for appropriate care to be provided to the resident elsewhere. All health care services that are not provided by Park Shore directly, such as hospital care and outpatient services, are the sole responsibility of residents. Hospice services are provided to appropriate residents by third party contractors. Upon completion of the Park Shore Project, memory support is being added to Park Shore with the addition of 15 memory care units. See “THE PROJECTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS – THE PROJECT – Park Shore Project.”
A-16
SKYLINE
Skyline General Description. Skyline, which opened on October 1, 2009, is a “life care” continuing care retirement community consisting of 199 independent living units plus one guest apartment, an “Assisted Living Center” containing 48 traditional assisted living units and 28 memory support units, and a “Health Center” with 34 licensed skilled nursing beds (8 semi-private beds and 26 private beds). These facilities and programs are housed in two adjacent buildings. The two buildings consist of a 26-floor tower building (“Skyline Tower”) which houses the independent living units and common areas (including resident and guest parking), and a 13-floor building (the “Terraces Building”) which houses the Assisted Living Center, Health Center, administrative offices, retail space and additional common areas. In July 2015, Skyline completed a renovation of the physical and occupational therapy gym in the Terraces Building, which expanded the space from 500 square feet to 1600 square feet, allowing an increase in services offered to Skyline residents as well as outpatient services to the greater community.
Skyline Independent Living Services. Skyline’s 199 independent living units include 21 units designated as “Low Rise Apartments” and 178 units designated as the “Independent Living Apartments,” all of which are located in Skyline Tower. The common areas include a main dining room, a private dining room, a bistro and lounge, a living room, an auditorium/multi-purpose room, a club room, a library, a wellness and fitness center, an aquatic center with a pool and spa, a business center, a beauty salon, barber shop and massage room, a creativity arts center, a continuing education room/board room, one guest unit, mail boxes, an automated teller machine, administrative areas and a 320-space underground parking garage. All utilities, except telephone, internet services and premium cable television services, are included in a monthly service fee (the “Monthly Service Fee”).
By entering into a Residency Agreement and paying the required entrance fee, a resident is entitled to life care services at Skyline. See “SKYLINE RESIDENCY AGREEMENTS—Resident Fee Structure—Services to Residents” for a further description of the services provided to residents of Skyline and “SKYLINE RESIDENCY AGREEMENTS—Resident Fee Structure” for a description of the types of fees paid by residents.
Skyline Assisted Living Services. The “Assisted Living Center” at Skyline consists of 48 assisted living units and 28 secured memory support units, all located within the Terraces Building. The assisted living units have been designed to foster the continued independence of residents who require varying amounts of assistance with activities of daily living. The assisted living units are private apartments with kitchenettes and full baths and are furnished with amenities similar to the independent living units, but do not include a kitchen range, oven, dishwasher, washer or dryer. The Assisted Living Center’s common areas include a lobby, living room and library, arts and crafts area, multi-purpose room, dining room and administrative and support areas.
The memory support units are private suites with full baths and are furnished with amenities similar to the assisted living units, but without kitchenettes. The memory support units
A-17
have secured access and separate common areas that include amenities similar to those provided for the assisted living units.
Admission to the Assisted Living Center is provided for residents of Skyline in accordance with the terms of the Residency Agreement. The Assisted Living Center is also available for occupancy by persons other than residents who have executed life care Residency Agreements (“Direct Admit Residents”). Direct Admit Residents are admitted, pursuant to the terms of a separate admissions agreement, on an as-available basis to the extent the units of the Assisted Living Center are not required to accommodate residents of Skyline at the time of admission. Direct Admit Residents are expected to pay a Monthly Service Fee but will not receive the Life Care Benefits described below.
Skyline Health Center. The Skyline Health Center contains 26 private nursing beds and 8 semi-private nursing beds, for a total of 34 licensed skilled nursing beds. The Health Center common areas include administrative, service and support areas, and resident dining, activity, lounge, therapy and bathing areas. The Health Center shares an entrance with the Assisted Living Center, and is directly accessible from the Independent Living Apartments.
The Health Center is available for occupancy by residents of Skyline when their physical condition so requires, as described below under “RESIDENCY AGREEMENT—Services to Residents.” Direct Admit Residents are admitted on a per-diem basis directly to the Health Center to the extent that its nursing beds are not required to accommodate life care residents of Skyline at the time of admission.
Skyline Reservation and Residency Agreements. Residents of Skyline enter into two separate contracts with Skyline: a “Reservation Agreement” and a “Residency Agreement.”
Reservation Agreement. Under the Reservation Agreement, the resident applies for residency in Skyline, pays a deposit (the “Reservation Deposit”) equal to 10% of the applicable Entrance Fee, and agrees to execute a Residency Agreement. Skyline considers applications for residence at Skyline based upon its guidelines and maintains sole discretion on the decision to accept a resident. An application for residence at Skyline will be accepted only if the applicant will be at least 62 years of age on the date of occupancy (the “Occupancy Date”) and demonstrates the ability to live independently and to meet the financial obligations as a resident of the selected independent living unit.
If an applicant’s health status changes after the applicant has been accepted for residency into Skyline so that at the time of occupancy such applicant is precluded from independent living for health reasons certified by a licensed physician, the entire Reservation Deposit (without interest) will be refunded to the applicant; provided however, that the applicant may elect not to terminate the Residency Agreement, but rather, to elect direct admission to the Assisted Living, Memory Support or Health Center at the appropriate level of care, as determined by Skyline. See also “TERMINATION AND REFUNDS—Termination Prior to Occupancy” below.
Residency Agreement. Under the Residency Agreement, the Resident agrees to an entrance fee plan contingent on establishment of occupancy. See “Skyline Resident Fee
A-18
Structure — Current Entrance Fee Plans” below. Skyline agrees to provide certain services to the Resident upon occupancy. In addition, a prospective resident is required to enroll in Medicare Part A and B and any future applicable Medicare program that may be offered. A resident must also maintain supplemental Medicare insurance coverage acceptable to Skyline or, if the resident does not qualify for Medicare coverage, comprehensive health coverage satisfactory to Skyline. See “Skyline Resident Fee Structure—Services to Residents” below.
Resident Fee Structure. Residents of Skyline are required to pay two types of residency fees: a lump sum, one-time payment (the “Entrance Fee”); and the Monthly Service Fee. As described in further detail below, the amount of both the Entrance Fee and Monthly Service Fees that are payable by a particular resident are based on the type of independent living unit to be occupied by the resident. Also as described below, the amount of the Entrance Fee further depends on the Entrance Fee plan selected by a resident.
Current Entrance Fee Plans. Two Entrance Fee plans are currently offered to Skyline residents, designated as “Type A Life Care Plan” and “Type B Continuing Care Plan” and more fully described below. A majority of residents are expected to be on a Type A contract. Both the Type A and Type B contracts are offered in three forms, which differ only in the amount of the refund payable in the case of termination, as described below.
Type A – Life Care Plan. Three variations of the Type A Life Care Plan are currently offered. Under the 80% Refundable Life Care Plan, which replaced the previous 90% Refundable Life Care Plan (described below) in October 2015, if a Resident terminates the Residency Agreement, or in the event of the Resident’s death, or in the case of double occupancy, both occupants’ death (among other possible causes for termination), the Resident would be due an 80% refund of the Entrance Fee less reasonable costs of refurbishing the residence to its original condition due to normal wear and tear, without interest, within 30 days of the later of the date of the termination of the Residency Agreement or receipt of a newly executed Residency Agreement and the collection of a new Entrance Fee for the vacated independent living unit. See also “Termination and Refunds—Termination After Occupancy” below. The Type A Life Care contract is also offered with a 50% refundable option and a no refund option. Under each Type A Life Care Plan, Residents pay the life care rate (see below under Life Care Benefit) should they require care in the Assisted Living Center or the Health Center. A second person entrance fee of $35,000, which is nonrefundable after the first 90 days of occupancy, is also payable under the 80% Refundable Life Care Plan.
Type B – Continuing Care Plan. The Type B Continuing Care Plan is similar to the Type A Life Care Plan, except that under the Type B Plan, Residents receive 30 prepaid days of health care services in the Assisted Living Center or Health Center. Residents who permanently transfer to the Assisted Living, Memory Support or Health Center pay a discounted market-based rate (see below under Continuing Care Benefit). Like the Type A Life Care Plan, the Type B Continuing Care Plan is offered in three variations: a 90% refundable, 50% refundable and nonrefundable version. There currently is no second person entrance fee payable in connection with Type B contracts.
A-19
Previous Entrance Fee Plans. Although not currently available, Skyline previously offered a number of other types of residency agreements. Residents who entered Skyline under those agreements are still governed by their terms. These types of previously-offered agreements include (i) a 90% refundable Type A Life Care Plan; (ii) a 100% refundable Type A Life Care Plan for Residents with charter resident benefits; and (iii) variants of the preceding plans providing for up to 30 free days of care in the Assisted Living Center or Health Center.
The following chart summarizes, as of May 31, 2016, the number of Residents subject to each of the Entrance Fee Plans described above, and the total related potential liability for refunds:

Monthly Service Fees. Regardless of whether a Resident chooses to pay an Entrance Fee under Type A or Type B, the Resident must also pay a Monthly Service Fee, the amount of which will depend on the type of independent living unit selected by the Resident. For double- occupancy units, an additional second person Monthly Service Fee applies.
Financial Assistance. If a Resident can no longer pay the Monthly Service Fee in full due to lack of funds for reasons beyond the control of the Resident, Skyline may subsidize, in whole or in part, the Monthly Service Fees and other charges, provided the ability of Skyline to
A-20
operate on a sound financial basis for all Residents is not materially impaired. If financial assistance is provided by Skyline, such amounts, plus interest, may be charged against the refund of the Entrance Fee. Skyline may also require a Resident receiving financial assistance to move to a smaller or less-expensive independent living unit.
Services to Residents. Upon payment in full of the Entrance Fee and ongoing payment of the Monthly Service Fee, each Resident will be provided an independent living unit and receive certain basic services. Services provided include: (i) approximately one meal per day, tracked using a points system; (ii) all utilities, except telephone, internet services and premium cable television services; (iii) housekeeping of the independent living unit on a regularly scheduled basis; (iv) cleaning and changing of bed linens on a regularly scheduled basis; (v) maintenance of all common areas and grounds; (vi) repair, maintenance or replacement of equipment and furnishings provided in the independent living unit; (vii) scheduled local transportation; (viii) a medical director responsible for the appropriateness and quality of health services and health-related activities; (ix) 24-hour monitoring of emergency alert systems; (x) a variety of social, recreational, educational, cultural, and health and wellness programs; (xi) property and casualty insurance coverage on the buildings and grounds, not to include loss or damage to the Resident’s personal property or damage or injury to others caused by a Resident or guest; (xii) internal U.S. mailboxes; and (xiii) use of dining rooms, lounges, garage parking (in which a Resident may reserve a parking space for an additional fee dependent upon availability), individual storage areas, social and recreational rooms and other common area facilities.
Life Care Benefit. Under the Type A Life Care Plan currently offered to prospective Skyline residents, Skyline will provide Residents with nursing services that are available in the Health Center or assisted living/memory support services that are available in the Assisted Living Center when a determination is made by Skyline, in consultation with the Resident’s physician and family, that the Resident needs nursing care or assisted living/memory support care (“Life Care Benefits”). In this event, the Resident will transfer and be admitted to the Assisted Living Center or the Health Center as deemed appropriate. In the event that space for the Resident is not available in the appropriate level of care, Skyline will arrange and pay for the temporary care of the Resident in his or her apartment by a certified home health care agency, if medically appropriate, until space becomes available in the needed level of care. If home health care is not medically appropriate, Skyline will arrange and pay for care in another facility of Skyline’s choice that can provide the same care that would otherwise have been provided at Skyline until space becomes available. Skyline will pay for care in another facility to the same extent as if it were provided at Skyline.
Assisted living services will be provided in a standard one-bedroom assisted living suite (unless a Resident desires a different unit and pays the fees therefor) and are designed to assist Residents with the activities of daily living, such as dressing, eating, bathing, toileting, and ambulating, which are approved by Skyline’s medical director and delivered in accordance with the routine care included in the applicable monthly or per diem fee then in effect for assisted living. Memory support services will be provided in a memory support unit with the routine care included in the applicable monthly or per diem fee then in effect for memory support. Nursing services will be provided in a private room (subject to availability) and delivered in accordance
A-21
with the routine care included in the applicable monthly or per diem rate then in effect in the Health Care Center.
For temporary transfers while still occupying an independent living unit, each Resident under a current Type A Life Care Plan contract will continue to pay the then-current Monthly Service Fee for the independent living unit, plus the then-current monthly or per diem fee in effect in the Assisted Living, Memory Support or Health Center, as applicable. Residents under certain now-discontinued earlier forms of Residency Agreements are entitled to up to 30 free days in the Assisted Living Center or Health Center. See “SKYLINE ENTRANCE FEE PLANS” above.
For single occupancy, upon permanent transfer to the Assisted Living, Memory Support or Health Center and release of the independent living unit, the Resident’s Monthly Service Fee will be adjusted to the then-current Monthly Service Fee for a two-bedroom Madrona-style apartment (currently, $4,375) plus the cost of two additional meals daily. Depending upon unit availability, a Resident may elect occupancy in a different assisted living unit style or location. In such event, such Resident will also be responsible for the additional incremental cost of the different unit.
In the case of double occupancy of an independent living unit, where there is a permanent transfer of one Resident from the independent living unit, the Monthly Service Fee will be adjusted to equal two times the single person Monthly Service Fee for a two-bedroom Madrona-style apartment, plus the cost of two additional meals per day. Upon the permanent transfer of both Residents from a double-occupancy independent living unit, the unit must be released.
Residents will be responsible for all costs and charges associated with Assisted Living, Memory Support or Health Center services that are not covered by the basic rates in effect for such services, and for all costs not covered by the Residency Agreement.
Continuing Care Benefit. Residents under a Type B Continuing Care Plan enjoy similar life care benefits to residents under the Type A Life Care Plan, except that Skyline is not obligated to pay for care in another facility or to provide temporary care in the resident’s apartment and, in the event that the resident is permanently transferred to the Assisted Living Center or the Health Center, the resident will be required to pay the then-market monthly or per diem rate, as applicable, less a 10% discount.
Skyline Termination and Refunds
Termination Prior to Occupancy. Prior to the Occupancy Date, a Reservation Agreement may be terminated, and a Resident will be entitled to the return of the Reservation Deposit in full without interest. However, Skyline is entitled to keep a $500 processing fee if more than 7 days have passed since execution of the Reservation Agreement, unless: (i) either party fails to perform its obligations under the Reservation Agreement; (ii) the Resident dies before the Occupancy Date; (iii) the Resident is not accepted for residency at Skyline; or (iv) other
A-22
circumstances beyond the control of the prospective Resident equitably entitle him or her to a refund.
Termination After Occupancy. After occupancy, the Residency Agreement may be terminated by the Resident or Skyline during the 90-day period following the Occupancy Date (the “Cancellation Period”). If the Residency Agreement is terminated during the Cancellation Period, the Resident is entitled to a full refund of the Entrance Fee and second person entrance fee, if any. No amounts paid as Monthly Service Fees will be refunded. If notice of cancellation is given during the Cancellation Period, the Resident must release the independent living unit within 20 days of the Resident providing such notice or within 30 days of Skyline providing such notice, as applicable.
After the Cancellation Period, the Resident may terminate the Residency Agreement at any time by providing 30 days written notice of termination to Skyline. Upon termination of the Residency Agreement, Skyline will refund the refundable portion (if any) of the Entrance Fee paid by the departing Resident upon the later of (i) receipt of Entrance Fee proceeds from the subsequent re-sale and occupancy of the independent living unit, or (ii) the vacation of the residence by the departing Resident and removal of such Resident’s belongings, leaving the residence in good condition, less normal wear and tear. See “RESERVATION AND RESIDENCY AGREEMENTS—Resident Fee Structure” herein.
Upon 30 days’ notice, Skyline may terminate the Residency Agreement for good cause including: (a) material misrepresentation or omission in the application or related materials, which, if such information had been accurately provided, would have been material to the decision whether or not to accept the Resident for residency; (b) failure to comply with the policies and procedures of Skyline or creation of a situation detrimental to the health, safety or quiet enjoyment of Skyline by other Residents or the staff; (c) failure to pay the Monthly Service Fee or other amounts when due unless other mutually satisfactory arrangements have been made; provided however, that the Residency Agreement shall not be terminated solely because of financial inability to pay the fees to the extent that inability to pay is not the result of the Resident’s willful or reckless action, and in the judgment of Skyline the ability of Skyline to operate on a sound financial basis will not be impaired; (d) material breach of the terms and conditions of the Residency Agreement; (e) if the independent living unit is no longer fit for occupancy and Skyline elects not to restore it to habitable condition; (f) if the Resident files for protection under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, under any chapter, or conveys all his or her assets for the benefit of creditors, or is the subject of involuntary filing for bankruptcy law protection; (g) the Resident has developed a dangerous or contagious disease or mental illness; (h) the Resident is in need of drug or alcohol rehabilitation or has any other condition for which Skyline is not licensed or for which care cannot be provided without a significant and non-routine expenditure; (i) the Resident has become mentally or emotionally disturbed to a degree that continued presence at Skyline is determined to be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of other Residents or staff; or (j) the Resident dies or permanently transfers from Skyline (or, in the case of a double occupancy, both Residents die or transfer).
If two Residents occupy an independent living unit, and the Residency Agreement is terminated as to one of them only, the Residency Agreement remains in effect as to the
A-23
remaining Resident. For the remaining Resident, the Monthly Service Fee will be adjusted for single occupancy. In such cases, Residents are not eligible for a refund of the Entrance Fee until termination of the Residency Agreement as to both Residents.
Skyline’s Indebtedness to PRCN
Skyline has previously borrowed a total of $3,950,000 from PRCN pursuant to two separate notes (the “Skyline Subordinated Notes”), each of which bears interest at 5% per annum. Under the terms of the Skyline Subordinated Notes, no payments were permitted unless Skyline met certain conditions imposed for the benefit of the holders of obligations issued under to the Skyline Master Indenture. In connection with the admission of Skyline as a member of the Obligated Group under the Master Indenture, which Obligated Group will include both Skyline and PRCN as members as of the date of issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds, the Skyline Subordinated Notes will be replaced with a new note evidencing Skyline’s indebtedness to PRCN and imposing no conditions to payment. This new note will be unsecured and will not be issued under the Master Indenture.
FRED LIND MANOR
Fred Lind Manor General Description. Fred Lind Manor is an 82-unit senior rental community located in Seattle, Washington. Fred Lind Manor serves a mix of seniors with both independent living and assisted living services.
The existing Fred Lind Manor facility was completed in 1988 and consists of a four- story structure composed of two buildings connected by interior walkways on each floor. Fred Lind Manor is situated on a quiet residential tree lined street within Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, northeast of downtown Seattle. Capitol Hill has become an attractive neighborhood with new housing, upscale restaurants, coffee shops, parks and vibrant night life.
Fred Lind Manor has been incorporated as a Washington nonprofit corporation since 1945 and became an affiliate of PRCN in October 2014. In 2015, PRCN began a substantial renovation of the dining room, lounge, corridors, and all vacant apartments. These renovations include new floor surfaces, lighting, wall treatments, wireless pendant system, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and plumbing fixtures. Full remodels have been completed for approximately 20 units that have been occupied by former residents of Exeter House. Apartment renovations will continue as apartment units turn over. Fred Lind Manor estimates that a prospective resident seeking admission will remain on a waiting list for nine months before occupancy.
Fred Lind Manor Independent Living Services. All residents, at no additional charge, receive restaurant-style dining services, help with housekeeping, and access to life enrichment programs, along with scheduled transportation for shopping, featured outings and medical visits. The monthly accommodation fee also includes television, telephone and wireless internet. For an extra charge residents may access more extensive housekeeping and laundry services.

Fred Lind Manor Assisted Living Services. Fred Lind Manor is currently licensed to provide assisted living services to up to 62 adults. Management plans to seek an increase of licensed capacity in the future to enable the provision of assisted living services to residents of all 82 units at Fred Lind Manor; however, no application for increased assisted living capacity has been submitted as of this date of this Official Statement. Fred Lind Manor residents who subscribe to assisted living services receive all of the amenities and services available to independent living residents. Assisted living services provided at Fred Lind Manor include assistance with daily care and living activities, licensed nursing coverage 8 hours per day, 24-hour availability of certified assistants, medication management, a fitness program, snacks, a personal call system, and routine safety checks. Charges for assisted living services are assessed, a la carte, through a point system based on intensity and frequency of the assistance. Fred Lind Manor Service and Accommodation Agreements. Except for those residents who transferred from Exeter House, each Fred Lind Manor resident occupies a unit pursuant to a standard month-to-month residential lease agreement known as a Service and Accommodation Agreement which automatically renews unless it is terminated. Termination may occur after either party gives at least 20 days advance written notice prior to the end of the lease term; when a resident’s physical, mental or emotional condition is, in the judgment of the resident’s physician, incompatible with the level of services provided at Fred Lind Manor (provided that the obligation to pay rent extends to the end of the current month or until the unit is made available to Fred Lind Manor in its original condition, whichever is later); immediately, and without notice, in the event that Fred Lind Manor, in its sole discretion, determines that the resident becomes incompatible with the other residents or incapable of independently maintaining his or her daily living function; upon the death of the resident; or upon violation of the Service and Accommodation Agreement by the resident.
Residents Transferred from Exeter House. Individuals who previously lived at Exeter House may transfer to Fred Lind Manor pursuant to a Transfer Agreement and generally retain their rights under Exeter House’s month-to-month Residency Agreement, which provides for termination upon the occurrence of any of the following: 60 days’ prior written notice by either party; a violation by the resident of the Residency Agreement or failure to pay amounts due; disposition of a significant portion of the resident’s assets without receiving adequate consideration in return; the making by the resident of excessive purchases that jeopardize payments to Fred Lind Manor; a material misrepresentation by the resident to PRCN or any of its agents or affiliates; the development of a physical or mental condition, substance abuse problem or any conduct that endangers the resident or another person or causes an unreasonable disturbance on the premises; or the need of the resident to transfer permanently from Fred Lind Manor to a setting providing specialized care.
Transfer to Another Level of Care. All decisions about level of placement, including transfers out of Fred Lind Manor and whether such transfers are temporary or permanent, are made by Fred Lind Manor in its sole discretion, in consultation with the resident or the resident’s representative or physician.
A-25
Alternate Care. Other than the Fred Lind Manor Wellness Center, PRCN does not operate any health care facilities serving Fred Lind Manor residents. If a resident’s mental or physical needs require services beyond those provided by Fred Lind Manor, the Fred Lind Manor Executive Director may arrange for appropriate care to be provided to the resident elsewhere. All health care services that are not provided by Fred Lind Manor directly, such as hospital or special dementia care and outpatient services, are the sole responsibility of residents, and residents may arrange for hospice care and certain other services provided by third party contractors.
Fred Lind Manor Low-Income Housing Covenant. In connection with the issuance of the Housing Authority of the County of King Low-Income Housing Assistance Refunding Revenue Bonds, 1997, Series A (GNMA Collateralized Mortgage Loan—Fred Lind Manor Project) and the Housing Authority of the County of King Taxable Low-Income Housing Assistance Revenue Bonds, 1997, Series B (GNMA Collateralized Mortgage Loan—Fred Lind Manor Project) and the insuring by the Federal Housing Administration of a mortgage note related thereto, Fred Lind Manor agreed to be bound by a Low-Income Housing Covenant Agreement (the “Covenant Agreement”). The Covenant Agreement requires Fred Lind Manor, among other things, to comply with certain federal low-income housing set-aside requirements during a regulatory period that will expire on May 1, 2017.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO RESIDENTS
The Foundation maintains a fund which is available to support residents of Park Shore, Fred Lind Manor and Skyline who, through no fault of their own, are unable to pay any monthly service fees or other charges incurred by the resident. It is the policy of PRCN to assist residents who become unable to pay for such fees or charges, for reasons other than willful dissipation of assets, when PRCN determines, in its sole discretion, that such assistance is financially feasible and appropriate in the circumstances.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
Appendix B to this Official Statement contains, in their entirety, the audited consolidated financial statements of PRCN and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, such audited consolidated financial statements do not include the results of Fred Lind Manor because PRCN became the sole corporate member of Fred Lind Manor during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. The PRCN audited consolidated financial statements contain supplemental information consisting of consolidating statements of financial position and consolidating statements of operations and changes in net assets, which distinguish the financial positions and respective changes in operations and net assets of PRCN, Skyline, Fred Lind Manor and the Non-Obligated Entities, from those of PRCN and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
The following summary financial information, debt service coverage ratio and liquidity information for the Obligated Group (which, as of the Date of Issue, will include only PRCN, Skyline and Fred Lind Manor) is derived by management from the audited consolidated financial statements and consolidating information of PRCN and its subsidiaries and from the audited financial statements of Fred Lind Manor for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and 2014. Summary financial information for the Obligated Group for the eight-month periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2016 was derived from financial statements prepared by management for the same periods, which were not audited. The financial performance of the Obligated Group for the eight months ended May 31, 2016 is not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
Obligated Group Pro Forma Summary Statement of Financial Position
The following pro forma summary statement of financial position sets forth the financial position of the Obligated Group, as of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015, and as of the eight-month periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2016.

Revenues for the eight months ended May 31, 2016 (“Interim Period 2016”) compared to the eight months ended May 31, 2015 (“Interim Period 2015”) increased by 9.14% from $27,550,357 in Interim Period 2015 to $30,069,069 in Interim Period 2016. A breakdown of revenue components follows.
Monthly fee revenue for Independent Living saw an increase of 2.85% from $10,673,598 in Interim Period 2015 to $10,978,290 in Interim Period 2016. While annual fee increases ranged from 3.5%-4% for both Park Shore and Fred Lind Manor, the communities held some apartments vacant during renovations, which caused Independent Living revenue to be suppressed. Park Shore will continue to hold some apartments vacant during the Park Shore Project, while Fred Lind Manor’s Independent Living is on target for full occupancy by fiscal year-end with residents transitioning from Exeter House. Skyline’s Independent Living experienced more transitions through the continuum. Skyline’s strong resales of those apartments helped continue to drive strong Independent Living revenue and resulted in occupancy exceeding 98% by May 2016.
Assisted Living revenues increased significantly. Assisted Living revenues increased by 28.23% from $5,947,447 in Interim Period 2015 to $7,626,319 in Interim Period 2016 due to the successful conversion of the 9th floor at Skyline to Memory Support and the subsequent fill up of Assisted Living through continuing care transitions at both Park Shore and Skyline.
Expenses
Operating Expenses excluding depreciation for Interim Period 2016 compared to Interim Period 2015 increased by 11.59% from $24,727,940 in Interim Period 2015 to $27,593,911 in Interim Period 2016. A breakdown of expenses follows:
Healthcare expenses increased by 26.05% from $3,694,464 in Interim Period 2015 to $4,656,744 in Interim Period 2016 due to wage and salary market adjustments and higher staffing to accommodate higher census. Dining Services expenses increased by 6.16% from $4,393,800 Interim Period 2015 to $4,664,566 in Interim Period 2016. One significant cost driver was implementation of the next phase of the Seattle minimum wage ordinance in January 2016. (See “MISCELLANEOUS – Employees” herein.) General and administrative expenses increased by 6.66% from $5,457,712 in Interim Period 2015 to $5,821,031 in Interim Period
A-32
2016. This increase was caused by a combination of additional staffing for business office functions in the communities as well as corporate positions.
Fred Lind Manor operating costs increased by 17.14% from $1,641,543 in Interim Period 2015 to $1,922,957 in Interim Period 2016. This cost increase was caused by the transition of Exeter House residents to Fred Lind Manor and the subsequent transfer of care staff and other support personnel.
Maintenance and housekeeping expenses increased by 13.98% from $3,012,617 for Interim Period 2015 compared to $3,433,804 for Interim Period 2016. This increase was caused by additional staffing filling vacant positions as well as general cost increases.
Assisted Living expenses increased by 32.03% from $2,102,201 in Interim Period 2015 to $2,775,655 in Interim Period 2016 due to the opening of the 9th floor Memory Support floor as well as to support higher overall census in Assisted Living and Memory Support.
Cash Flow
Entrance Fees net of Refunds increased by 167% from $4,836,507 for Interim Period 2015 to $12,910,610 for Interim Period 2016. The main driver for this significant change was a continuation of the improved care transition programs put in place at Skyline in late 2014 and more recently at Park Shore, coupled with strong resales of vacated apartments as residents transitioned through the continuum of care.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 COMPARED TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
Revenues
Revenues for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2015 (“FY 2015”) compared to the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2014 (“FY 2014”) increased by 3.71% from $39,995,538 in FY 2014 to $41,480,271 in FY 2015. A breakdown of revenue components follows.
Monthly fee revenue for Independent Living saw an increase of 3.14% from $14,958,008 in FY 2014 to $15,427,425 in FY 2015. Monthly fee increases with slightly improved occupancy contributed to this increase. Health Center revenues increased slightly by 1.63% from $8,740,094 in FY 2014 to $8,882,769 in FY 2015 and Assisted Living revenues increased by 3.33% from $7,865,045 in FY 2014 to $8,126,932 in FY 2015.
Resident Subsidies, which include discounts provided as Life Care Benefits and Continuing Care Benefits at Skyline, increased by 7.81% from $302,747 in FY 2014 to $326,397 in FY 2015 as the transition efforts started to show success.

Expenses
Operating Expenses excluding depreciation for FY 2015 compared to FY 2014 increased by 3.67% from $36,467,391 in FY 2014 to $37,805,419 in FY 2015. A breakdown of expenses follows.
Healthcare expenses decreased significantly by 14.48% from $6,612,031 in FY 2014 to $5,654,804 in FY 2015 due to strong cost control measures. General and administrative expenses increased by 9.04% from $7,447,538 in FY 2014 to $8,120,965 in FY 2015. Corporate support staff was added as contract services were eliminated.
Maintenance and housekeeping expenses increased by 8.91% from $4,110,935 in FY 2014 to $4,447,323 in FY 2015 to address increased maintenance needs of the communities.
Assisted Living expenses increased by 62.54% from $2,446,522 in FY 2014 to $3,976,610 in FY 2015 mostly caused by additional staffing needed as a result of increased assisted living occupancy. Resident activities expenses increased by 3.48% from $1,243,267 in FY 2014 to $1,286,571 in FY 2015 due to increases in labor costs and supplies.
Cash Flow
Entrance Fees net of Refunds increased by 93.85% from $8,241,126 for FY 2014 to $15,975,379 for FY 2015. The main driver for this significant change was the much improved care transition programs put in place at Skyline in late 2014 coupled with strong resales of vacated apartments as residents transitioned through the continuum of care.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2013
Revenues
Revenues for FY 2014 compared to the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2013 (“FY 2013”) increased slightly by 0.88% from $39,645,324 in FY 2013 to $39,995,538 in FY 2014. A breakdown of revenue components follows.
Monthly fee revenue for Independent Living saw an increase of 4.93% from $14,255,682 in FY 2013 to $14,958,008 in FY 2014 driven by monthly fee increases along with a slight increase in occupancy.
Healthcare revenues increased slightly by 0.94% from $8,658,490 in FY 2013 to $8,740,094 in FY 2014. Assisted Living revenues decreased by 3.22% from $8,126,935 in FY 2013 to $7,865,045 in FY 2014 due to lower occupancy rates.
Resident Subsidies increased sharply from $53,824 in FY 2013 to $302,747 in FY 2014 due to a combination of transitions and fee discounts that were given to entice move-ins.

Expenses
Operating Expenses excluding depreciation for FY 2015 compared to FY 2014 decreased by 2.57% from $37,430,109 in FY 2013 to $36,467,391 in FY 2014. A breakdown of expenses follows.
Healthcare expenses decreased significantly by 11.29% from $7,453,784 in FY 2013 to $6,612,031 in FY 2014 due to expense control measures. Dining Services expenses increased by 4.07% from $5,605,517 in FY 2013 to $5,833,467 in FY 2014. Maintenance and housekeeping expenses decreased by 3.95% from $4,280,023 in FY 2013 to $4,110,935 in FY 2014 due to expense and labor cost savings measures.
Assisted Living expenses decreased by 3.50% from $2,535,374 in FY 2013 to $2,446,522 in FY 2014.
Residential transportation service expenses decreased sharply by 28.67% from $473,198 in FY 2013 to $337,534 in FY 2014. Some expenses were reallocated to Resident Activities, contributing to a 79.04% increase in Resident Activities expenses from $694,415 in FY 2013 to $1,243,267 in FY 2014; this increase was also due to additional programming.
Cash Flow
Entrance Fees net of Refunds decreased by 49.34% from $16,268,947 for FY 2013 to $8,241,126 for FY 2014 due to stalled sales efforts as well as lack of transitions of Skyline and Park Shore residents through the care continuum.
MISCELLANEOUS
ACTUARIAL REPORTS
At the request of PRCN, A.V. Powell & Associates LLC (“AVP”) has performed actuarial services based on financial and resident information provided for Park Shore and Skyline as of September 30, 2015. For Park Shore, AVP calculated the future service obligation but opined that its calculation does not provide necessary or useful information to evaluate Park Shore’s financial solvency. For Skyline, AVP determined that the community was, with respect to its future service obligations, in satisfactory actuarial balance with qualifications about surplus and contingency margins, provided that future experience substantially follows the underlying assumptions set forth in its report.
LICENSURE
Each of the Obligated Group Communities is licensed under Boarding Home Licensure Regulations of the Office of Licensing and Certification of the Washington Department of Social and Health Services. Each of Park Shore and Skyline is additionally licensed by the Nursing Home Services Section of the Washington Department of Social and Health Services.

MEMBERSHIPS
PRCN is a member of LeadingAge, a national association of approximately 6,000 nonprofit organizations dedicated to making America a better place to grow old. The purpose of LeadingAge is to advance policies, promote practices, and conduct research that supports, enables, and empowers people to live as they age.
PRCN is also a member of LeadingAge Washington, the state association serving nonprofit and mission-driven organizations dedicated to providing quality housing and skilled long-term services to seniors and people with disabilities.
INSURANCE
PRCN maintains several types of insurance. As of April 1, 2016, these policies included Commercial Property/Inland Marine and Difference-in-Conditions policies with a blanket occurrence limit of $385,709,709 ($344,363,709 Real and Personal Property, $41,346,000 Business Interruption), Earthquake and Flood coverage with separate limits of $50,000,000; General Liability, Professional Liability, Employee Benefits Liability with separate limits of $1,000,000 per claim/$3,000,000 aggregate; and Auto liability policy with a limit of $1,000,000. PRCN also maintains a $10,000,000 Umbrella policy that serves as excess coverage over the General Liability, Professional Liability, Employee Benefits and Auto policies. PRCN also has coverage for Directors and Officers Liability, as well as coverage for Crime and Liquor Liability.
The type and amounts of insurance coverage to be maintained by PRCN are subject to future change as permitted by the Master Indenture.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 2016, PRCN and its affiliates had 367 full-time equivalent employees. None of its employees is currently represented by any collective bargaining unit, and PRCN management is not aware of any union organization activities among its workforce. Labor relations are considered to be good by management.
In 2014, the City of Seattle enacted an ordinance that (a) increased the minimum hourly compensation paid to employees to at least $12.00, effective January 1, 2016; and (b) will further increase the minimum hourly compensation on an annual basis, reaching at least $15.75 in 2020 and, in 2025, the inflation-adjusted equivalent of $17.00 in 2017 dollars. For employers with more than 500 employees anywhere in the United States, the ordinance requires, by January 1, 2017, a minimum hourly wage of $15.00 adjusted annually for inflation thereafter (unless the employer provides qualifying medical benefits, in which case the employer may pay a lower wage until January 1, 2019). As a result of this ordinance, the Obligated Group’s labor costs have increased and will continue to increase. These higher labor costs have been taken into account in the budgets and financial forecasts of the Obligated Group Communities. Further, the Obligated Group Communities may incur higher costs for contractual services to the extent that the ordinance imposes increased costs on its contractors.
A-36
RETIREMENT PLAN
PRCN maintains a 403(b) defined contribution retirement plan. The plan covers all employees of PRCN and its affiliates. Employees become eligible to participate in the plan after the start of the month following their hire date. Employer contributions start on the first pay date following the one-year anniversary of employment. PRCN provides matching contributions to 100% of participant deferrals up to 4% of eligible compensation. Employer contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, totaled $190,834 and $243,730, respectively.
PRCN does not maintain any defined benefit plans and does not have any unfunded pension liability.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The PRCN Board is responsible for stewardship of the assets of the Obligated Group available for investment. Under PRCN’s current investment policy, adopted in 2003, the primary objective is to invest available funds so as to achieve a prudent and responsible balance between security of principal and return on investment, and to have an appropriate match between the term of investments and the anticipated need for such funds. The policy provides that investment in equity securities shall not exceed 15% of total cash and investments, and investment in fixed income securities shall not exceed 50% of total cash and investments (and no more than 40% of the total investment in fixed income securities may be in corporate debt securities). No more than 10% of the market value of the equity portfolio may consist of the equity securities of any one issuer and no individual investment in equity securities of an issuer may exceed 5% of the outstanding equity securities of such issuer.
ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (the “Skyline Assessment”) prepared in 2007 in connection with the original development of Skyline revealed evidence of two recognized environmental conditions. First, the Skyline Assessment identified the historic presence of heating oil underground storage tanks but stated that further subsurface investigation appeared unwarranted because “it may be reasonable to conclude that there is a low likelihood these tanks have resulted in widespread environmental impacts to the subject property.” Second, the Skyline Assessment identified the historic presence of a dry cleaning facility that operated on a portion of the present site of Skyline for more than 30 years. Although a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment had been performed prior to the Skyline Assessment to assess the potential for adverse environmental impacts to the property, the Skyline Assessment’s author opined “that additional subsurface investigation would be necessary to demonstrate that the property has not been adversely impacted from the historic dry cleaning operations.” To the best knowledge of PRCN and Skyline, no further evidence of recognized environmental conditions was discovered during construction of Skyline, which was completed in 2009.
With respect to the Park Shore property, in 1996 a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report concluded that testing and reviews revealed no contamination or adverse environmental effects at the property. A-37
For Fred Lind Manor, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed by Landau Associates, Inc. on July 20, 2016, and disclosed no recognized environmental conditions or potential environmental concerns.
PROPERTY TAXES
Under current Washington law, the real and personal property used by a nonprofit organization in connection with the operation of a “home for the aging” (as defined by RCW 84.36.041) generally is partially exempt from state property taxes to the extent that dwelling units in the home are occupied by persons who require assistance with the activities of daily living or by “eligible residents” (as defined by RCW 84.36.041) whose disposable income falls below certain standards. The Obligated Group Communities qualify for a partial property tax exemption under these provisions of state law.
2016 DEEDS OF TRUST
The real and personal property of the members of the Obligated Group comprising Park Shore, Skyline and Fred Lind Manor and PRCN’s interest in the three condominium units in the Condominium Project is subject to liens securing all Obligations issued and outstanding under the Master Indenture from time to time, including, without limitation, Obligation No. 1, Obligation No. 2, Obligation No. 3 and Obligation No. 4, pursuant to respective deeds of trust (collectively, the “2016 Deeds of Trust”) executed by the members of the Obligated Group for the benefit of the Master Trustee. The liens of the 2016 Deeds of Trust will be insured by a title policy to be issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company on the date of issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds in an amount equal to the par amount of the Series 2016 Bonds.

EXHIBIT 2
PRIMARY MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
The information contained in this Exhibit 2 is based on a market assessment performed by GSI for PRCN regarding the market forces important to the financial prospects of the Obligated Group Communities. Although GSI and PRCN consider the views expressed herein to be well grounded, there can be no guarantee that such information is correct or that projections contained herein will accurately predict future events.
Primary Market Area
The primary market area for senior living services is typically defined as the geographic area from which the majority of prospective residents reside prior to residency at the community.
GSI’s analysis of resident origin data for Skyline, Fred Lind Manor and Park Shore indicates that each community draws a substantial portion of its residents from the greater Seattle metropolitan area and beyond. PRCN’s Primary Market Area was defined by GSI in conjunction with PRCN management, based on an analysis of resident origin, geographic and demographic considerations, and professional experience. Approximately two-thirds of residents of the Obligated Group Communities have originated from within this area. PRCN’s Primary Market Area is comprised of 18 zip code areas that cover a large part of Seattle and Mercer Island, depicted in areas shaded green in the following map. The Primary Market Area is located entirely within King County, Washington.

Delineates the Primary Market Area. Note: The Primary Market Area accounts for the majority of residents at the Obligated Group Communities. However, each Obligated Group Community draws residents from throughout the greater Seattle Metro Area and beyond. The Primary Market Area accounts for about two-thirds of the residents.
Demographic Trends
The following table shows the size of the over-65 population in the Primary Market Area by age and projected growth trends. Although prospective residents of continuing care
A-49
retirement communities are typically age 75 and above, internal data from management indicates that a portion of those ages 65 to 74 also represent a potential market for Obligated Group Communities, particularly for Skyline.

Older adults typically move to independent living as a household. In order to qualify for independent living residency, a prospective resident must be able to afford the fees. Assuming that prospective residents could reasonably afford to spend 60% or more of their income on retirement living with services, the minimum annual household income required to afford the current minimum monthly fees at the Obligated Group Communities is estimated to be approximately $50,000 for Fred Lind Manor and $63,000 for Skyline and Park Shore. Assuming monthly fees increase at the rate of 3% per year, by 2021 the minimum annual household income required would be approximately $57,000 for Fred Lind Manor and $73,000 or more for Skyline and Park Shore.
Data on household income does not reflect assets, such as a home that is owned, and other investments. In the Primary Market Area, 62% of age 65+ headed households (all incomes) are estimated to currently live in a home which they own, and the rate of homeownership shows a positive relationship with household income, therefore the rate of homeownership is likely to be greater among the target market segments for the three Obligated Group Communities.1
The following table shows the estimated current (2016) and projected (2021) number of older households by age and income in the Primary Market Area provided by The Nielsen Company, as well as the calculated number of income eligible households for independent living interpolated from The Nielsen Company data.

Housing Market Trends
The majority of the target age and income market are likely to be homeowners who will need to sell their homes to generate the liquidity necessary to pay entrance fees. Therefore, the housing market has important implications for the Obligated Group Communities. According to Zillow, the median home value in the city of Seattle in June 2016 was $585,400, reflecting a 16.7% increase over the past year, and Zillow predicts that values will rise 8.1% within the next year. Zillow describes the Seattle residential real estate market as a “very hot” sellers’ market.

General Types of Contracts Governing CCRCs
Continuing care retirement communities may provide a variety of contracts to residents. These types are generally distinguishable by how they provide health care (if at all). The most common contract types are as follows:
Extensive or Life Care Contract (“Type A”). Under a Type A contract, a resident typically pays an upfront entrance fee and an ongoing monthly service fee in exchange for the right to lifetime occupancy of an independent living unit with certain services and amenities. Residents of independent living who require assisted living or nursing care may transfer to the appropriate level of care and continue to pay essentially the same monthly fee they had been paying for their residence or, upon permanent transfer, the fee may be adjusted to the weighted average of all monthly fees.
Modified Contract (“Type B”). Under a Type B contract, the resident also generally pays an upfront entrance fee and an ongoing monthly service fee for the right to lifetime occupancy of an independent living unit with certain services and amenities. However, under a Type B contract, the continuing care retirement community typically provides assisted living or skilled nursing care to residents (a) at a discounted rate on the per diem, e.g., 20% discount; (b) a certain number of days per year or per lifetime, e.g., 60 to 90 days; or (c) a combination of the two.
Fee-for Service Contract (“Type C”). A Type C contract also generally requires an upfront entrance fee and an ongoing monthly service fee for the right to lifetime occupancy of an independent living unit with certain services and amenities. However, under the Type C contract, residents who require assisted living or nursing care are generally required to pay for such care at then prevailing rates.
Comparable Communities
The primary comparable communities are defined as retirement communities within the Primary Market Area that include independent living and either a full or partial continuum of care, offer similar services and amenities, and compete for a similar age and income qualified resident. The following presents a summary of key findings regarding comparable communities with independent living within the Primary Market Area. The focus is on larger communities that are comparable to PRCN’s two larger communities, Skyline and Park Shore, which charge an entrance fee. However, information on several rental communities with a more limited continuum of care, similar to Fred Lind Manor, is also provided.
Eight existing facilities in the Primary Market Area were identified as being comparable, to varying degrees, to one or more of the Obligated Group Communities. The eight existing comparable communities account for a total of 1,492 independent living units and report an average occupancy rate of 92%, which increases to 94% when the one low outlier (The Hearthstone) is excluded from the average. These comparable facilities are mostly entrance fee communities; two are rental communities. The average occupancy rate of the three Obligated Group Communities (as of June 2016) was 94%.

living, assisted living and memory care suites (the “Columbia Pacific Project”) to be located 0.1 miles from Skyline. Construction is expected to start in 2017, and the facility is scheduled to open in 2019. No information is yet available to PRCN on contract types and pricing for this community, and the identity of the operator is not yet known.

Penetration Analysis
Penetration rates are one measure of the degree to which the Primary Market Area might be either under-served or saturated. As penetration rates increase, independent living units may become more difficult to fill. However, higher penetration rates may not necessarily be an indication of how difficult it is to achieve the desired occupancy level. The greater Seattle marketplace has a high rate of acceptance for housing with services and has repeatedly shown in numerous GSI market studies the ability to support higher-than-typical market penetration rates. Penetration rates should always be considered in conjunction with other market factors, and in particular with the occupancy levels at existing comparable communities in the area.
The following penetration rates were calculated:
• The Gross Market Penetration Rate is calculated by dividing the total number of comparable ILU in the Primary Market Area (PRCN, comparable communities and proposed communities) by the total number of age 75-and-over households who are income qualified based on the criteria discussed in the demographic section.
• The Net Market Penetration Rate is calculated by dividing the total number of vacant units at PRCN, comparable existing and proposed communities at 95% occupancy, by the total number of age-qualified and income-eligible households.
• The Project Penetration Rate calculations show the proportion of eligible households in the Primary Market Area that would need to move to Obligated Group Communities on an annual basis to fill vacant units that become available to attrition to maintain full (95%) occupancy.
The following table shows the penetration rate calculations. For the purpose of estimation, the proposed Columbia Pacific First Hill project is assumed to be open and to have reached stabilized occupancy by 20212.
2 The Columbia Pacific project will contain 150 independent units, plus assisted living. For the purpose of estimation, this project is assumed to open mid-2019, and to fill at a net rate of 7.7 units per month to reach 92% occupancy (current average occupancy rate of ILU in the Primary Market Area) by 2021. Several other proposed projects were identified in the area, but they will all be licensed assisted living, and thus are not included in the penetration rate analysis for independent living. A-61
