Section 3.3. 28B28B28B28B28B28BUUUUFailure to Contribute

A. 103B103B103B103B103B103BUpon the failure of a Member (a “Non-Contributing Member”), for a period in excess of ten (10) days, to make its share of any required capital contribution under Section 3.1 or 3.2 (the portion thereof not contributed by such Non-Contributing Member being referred to herein as the “Deficiency”), then the other Members (as applicable, a “Contributing Member” or “Contributing Members”), may each, in its sole and absolute discretion within ten (10) days after the expiration of the foregoing ten (10) day period, in proportion to their Company Percentages or in such other percentages as they may agree, (1) loan to the Non-Contributing Member the Deficiency by depositing the same into the Operating Accounts, or (2) contribute to the Company the Deficiency by depositing the same into the Operating Accounts, which contribution shall reduce the Non-Contributing Member’s Company Percentage pursuant to subsection D below.

B. 104B104B104B104B104B104BIf a Contributing Member proceeds under clause (1) of subsection A above, then any amounts funded by a Contributing Member shall be treated as (i) a loan (which shall be called a “Default Loan”) bearing interest at the “Default Rate” (which, as used herein, means, from time to time, the greater of (A) 20% per annum, compounded annually, or (B) 10% per annum in excess of the prime rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A., compounded annually, but not less than 15% per annum, compounded annually, but not more than the maximum amount allowable under applicable law), and shall be due and payable ten (10) days after the date made, followed by (ii) a capital contribution by such Non-Contributing Member to the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, all distributions which would otherwise be made to the Non-Contributing Member shall be paid to the Contributing Members that made Default Loans (in proportion to the total Default Loans made by each Contributing Member to such Non-Contributing Member) until the Default Loans (and all interest thereon) have been paid in full. Any such payments and distributions shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Non-Contributing Member and then turned over in payment of such Default Loan. All payments shall be applied first to interest and then to principal.

C. 105B105B105B105B105B105BIf a Default Loan (including all interest thereon) to ESC is not fully paid when due (i.e., within ten (10) days), then an event shall be deemed to have occurred under Section 7.2A(2) entitling BREA to deliver a “Termination Notice” (as hereinafter defined).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, BREA shall not be permitted to deliver a Termination Notice with respect to a Default Loan that results from a Contribution Request made upon BREA’s decision pursuant to its rights under XXXXXXSection 5.1.CXXXXXX, unless such Contribution Request is made in connection with an emergency or for necessary capital contributions (e.g., to meet the requirements of any Project Financing, to pay any applicable taxes, to prevent physical waste to any Property).

D. 106B106B106B106B106B106BIf any Contributing Member proceeds under clause (2) of subsection A above, then the Company Percentages of the Members shall be recalculated and reset as of such time based upon the ratio of all contributions made by a Member to all contributions made by all of the Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, any capital contributions which are made by ESC pursuant to Section 3.5 and are attributable to distributions under the “Promote Clauses” (as hereinafter defined) shall not be considered as capital contributions for purposes of the foregoing calculation. To the extent that the Company Percentage of ESC is reduced under this subsection D, the percentages set forth in clause (2) of Section 4.1B, clause (2) of Section 4.1C and clause (2) of Section 4.1D shall be reduced in the same proportion (as the proportionate reduction in ESC’s Company Percentage) and the corresponding percentages in clause (1) of Section 4.1B, clause (1) of Section 4.1C and clause (1) of Section 4.1D shall be increased accordingly.

E. 107B107B107B107B107B107BThe rights of the Company and its Members pursuant to this Section 3.3 are not exclusive and shall not be deemed to waive any other right or remedy of the Company or any Member under this Agreement, at law or in equity, against any Non-Contributing Member for failure to make any required capital contribution.

Section 3.6. 31B31B31B31B31B31BUUUUERISA Matters

.UUUU The parties acknowledge that BREA is an entity that is intended to qualify as a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of the U.S. Department of Labor plan asset regulation (Section 2510.3-101, Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations) and that it is intended that BREA will have the right to substantially participate directly in the management, operations and development of the Properties.

A. 112B112B112B112B112B112BUUUUAuthority of Administrative Member

.UUUU Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Member shall have the duty and authority, on behalf of the Company, to do all things appropriate to the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company, subject to and in accordance with the Requirements.

B. 113B113B113B113B113B113BUUUUMajor Decisions

.UUUU The Administrative Member shall use diligent efforts to keep each of the other Members fully informed regarding all material matters relating to the Company, each Company Subsidiary and their respective operations and assets (and such other specific matters as any Member may reasonably request from time to time). The Administrative Member shall consult on a monthly basis and at all reasonable times requested by BREA, and without limitation on the foregoing, shall promptly inform BREA and Columbia with respect to any major or significant matters, including “Major Decisions” (as hereinafter defined), so that the Members may exercise their rights under this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.1C, each of the following matters (“Major Decisions”) shall require the prior written approval of the Administrative Member and BREA (and may be proposed by either):

(1) 159B159B159B159B159B159BSubject to XXXXXXSection 5.1XXXXXXXXXXXXBXXXXXXXXXXXX(3)XXXXXX, the adoption of, and any supplement to, revision of, or deviation from the Budget in any material respect, and any activity by the Company or any Company Subsidiary which is inconsistent with the Budget in any material respect and (except as provided in clause (3) below) any expenditure by the Company or any Company Subsidiary which is inconsistent with the Budget.

(2) 160B160B160B160B160B160BWithout limitation on subsection B(1) above, the adoption of, and any supplement to, or revision of, each Budget.

(3) 161B161B161B161B161B161BWithout limitation on subsection B(1) above, but subject to this subsection B(3), any deviation from or expenditure inconsistent with the Operating Budget and Capital Budget (or the entry into any agreement requiring such deviation or expenditure). The consent of BREA to an expenditure payable to an unrelated third party exceeding the amount specified for such expenditure in the Operating Budget shall not be required in any of the following circumstances: (a) Administrative Member, in its reasonable judgment, deems there to be an emergency requiring such expenditures to effectuate immediate action necessary for the protection of the assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or to avoid property damage or personal injury or to preserve the well being of residents in the Property (b) such expenditure

would not cause the aggregate amount of the expenses (excluding the expenses described in clause (c) below) within the Operating Budget to exceed 105% of the entire amount of budgeted expenses (excluding the expenses described in clause (c) below) in the Operating Budget (taking into account the amounts expended to date and reasonably anticipated expenses); or (c) expenditures for real property taxes and assessments and utilities. The provisions of clause (b) above are intended to be in lieu of any contingency category that covers, in whole or in part, costs of the types described in any of the other categories under the Operating Budget (so that excess costs in a specific category might be covered by such contingency category) and accordingly, there shall be no such contingency line item in the Operating Budget; the provisions of clause (b) above are not intended, however, to be in lieu of a contingency category for unanticipated costs that are not of the types described in other categories under the Operating Budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Member reasonably believes that any Budget excess related to variable expenses shall be corrected prior to the end of the applicable fiscal year, or that such excess is proportionately offset by non-forecasted revenue gains (without any decrease in applicable profit margins), then such excess shall not be considered for the purposes of Default under this section or any other section until such fiscal year is concluded and reconciled. In the event the reconciliation demonstrates that the Budget excess related to variable expenses was corrected prior to the end of the such fiscal year, or was proportionately offset by non-forecasted revenue gains (without any decrease in applicable profit margins), then any penalty or default under this Agreement related to such excess shall be waived by BREA or any other Member seeking to enforce such provisions. Administrative Member shall promptly notify BREA, both by telephone and in writing, of each permitted Budget deviation made pursuant to this subsection (3) and shall promptly supply BREA with such information with respect thereto as BREA may reasonably request.

(4) 162B162B162B162B162B162BExcept as expressly provided in the Budget, the entry into any construction, development or other agreement which provides for a term greater than three (3) months (unless terminable by the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary without cause or penalty upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party) or contemplates an aggregate amount to be spent by the Company or a Company Subsidiary under such agreement in excess of $50,000 for each individual Property that the construction, development or other agreement relates to (and a series of related agreements for amounts less than $50,000 shall be construed as a single agreement for purposes of this subsection (4)); or any termination or material modification to any of the foregoing.

(5) 163B163B163B163B163B163BExcept as expressly provided in the Budget or in the applicable Management Agreement, any lease of space in a Property and the terms thereof; or any termination or material modification of any such lease.

(6) 164B164B164B164B164B164BAny transaction or matter that is not in the ordinary course of the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s business relating to the Property, including (a) any action or agreement with respect to any new projects or acquisition of any property by the Company or any Company Subsidiary other than the Property; (b) subject to Section 2.8, any capital transaction (including any sale, financing or refinancing of the assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any portion thereof) and the terms thereof; (c) any pledge, mortgage, encumbrance, or grant of a security interest in, any assets of the Company or any Company

Subsidiary; or (d) any activity, that is not contemplated by, or is materially inconsistent with, the Budget.

(7) 165B165B165B165B165B165BAny agreement or other transaction or allocation among two or more of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; and any agreement, compensation or reimbursement to, or other transaction with any Affiliate of Administrative Member or any other person or entity with which Administrative Member or any of its Affiliates has a significant business relationship.

This Exhibit describes the internal rate of return calculation contemplated by Section 4.1 of the limited liability company agreement (this “Agreement”) to which this Exhibit is attached and of which this Exhibit forms a part. Except as otherwise indicated in this Exhibit, each capitalized term used herein shall have the meaning given to the same elsewhere in this Agreement.

A. 157B157B157B157B157B157BUCERTAIN DEFINITIONSU.

“Contributions” means the sum of all contributions made under this Agreement by BREA or Columbia, as applicable, to the Company on or after Time 0. If an escrow is used or advances are made by BREA or an affiliate prior to the date the Properties are acquired by the Company (or any Company Subsidiary) and later treated as, or credited against, BREA’s contributions, then Contributions shall be deemed made on the date amounts are so deposited into escrow or advanced.

“Distributions” for a particular IRR Rate means all distributions made to BREA or Columbia, as applicable, under the applicable subsections of Section 4.1 on or after Time 0. The applicable subsections are as follows: if the IRR Rate is 15% per annum, then the applicable subsection is 4.1A; if the IRR Rate is 20% per annum, then the applicable subsections are 4.1A and 4.1B; and if the IRR Rate is 25% per annum, then the applicable subsections are 4.1A, 4.1B and 4.1C.

“IRR Rate” means 15% per annum, 20% per annum or 25% per annum, as applicable

“Time 0” means the date the Properties are acquired by the Company (or any Company Subsidiary). However, if an escrow is used or BREA or an Affiliate otherwise advanced funds for the Company prior to the date the Properties are acquired by the Company (or any Company Subsidiary) (Ue.g.U, for a portion of a deposit), then Time 0 shall mean the date BREA or such Affiliate deposits funds in such escrow or makes such advance.

B. 158B158B158B158B158B158BUDEFINITION AND CALCULATION OF IRR DEFICIENCYU. With respect to the applicable IRR Rate, the “IRR Deficiency” as of any particular date means the amount by which (1) the future value as of such date at such IRR Rate, compounded annually, of all Contributions made on or before such date (which shall include both such Contributions themselves and an annually compounded return on such Contributions using such IRR Rate), exceeds (2) the future value (as of such date) at such IRR Rate, compounded annually, of all Distributions for such IRR Rate (excluding, however, any Distribution to be made on such date and with respect to which such calculation is being made) made on or before such date (which shall include both such Distributions themselves and an annually compounded return on such Distributions using such IRR Rate). The “15% IRR Deficiency” is the IRR Deficiency using an IRR Rate of 15% per annum, the “20% IRR Deficiency” is the IRR Deficiency using an IRR

Rate of 20% per annum, and the “25% IRR Deficiency” is the IRR Deficiency using an IRR Rate of 25% per annum.

2.	1BManager’s Compensation

(a) As compensation for the services to be rendered by Manager during the term of this Agreement, Manager shall be paid a monthly management fee (“Fee”) equal to five percent (5%) of the Gross Operating Revenues of the Facility, actually collected for such calendar month. “Gross Operating Revenues” shall include all payments received in connection with Occupancy Agreements or other payments for the use or occupancy of space in the Facility (whether by residents, licensees, concessionaires,

permissive use arrangement, or otherwise), including, without limitation, any such payments received pursuant to any sublease or assignment of Occupancy Agreements, any lease, license, concession, or other permissive use arrangement; all payments made by any third-party payors under any third-party payor program (including, without limitation, to the extent applicable to the Facility, Medicare, Medicaid (however denominated under State law), CHAMPUS, Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield, managed care plans, or other private insurance plans or employee assistance programs), parking revenues, income from vending machines, photocopy machines, and other such devices, late charges, interest on past due rentals, payments under any licenses, concessions, or other agreements for advertising signs, telecommunications services, antennas, or disks, all lease modification, amendment, surrender, or cancellation payments, all proceeds in lieu of rental revenues from any business interruption insurance policies; all escalation payments; and all payments made by residents, or other users of the Facility for extra services, including, without limitation, the use of any personal property used in connection with the Facility and the provision of any healthcare or other personal services.

(b) Payment of the Fee with regard to a given calendar month shall be made on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of such calendar month during the term, commencing with the calendar month in which Owner acquires the Facility, and may be paid even if the revenue from the Facility is insufficient to pay the other operating expenses of the Facility.

(c) Within twenty (20) days after the end of each fiscal year during the Term, Manager shall provide to Owner a year end reconciliation of the Fee for Owner’s review and approval, and to the extent such approved reconciliation discloses a discrepancy between the Fee owed to, and the Fee actually paid to, Manager, such discrepancy shall be paid to Manager, or reimbursed to Owner, as the case may be, within five (5) days after such reconciliation is approved by Owner.

3.	2BAnnual Budget

3.1 3BPreparation of Budget; Contents

4BWithin ninety (90) days of Owner’s acquisition of the Facility, with respect to the balance of calendar year 2010 and, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the first day of each calendar year thereafter during the Term, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner for its approval, a detailed line item budget (the “Annual Budget”) which shall be in a form and with content acceptable to Owner. The Annual Budget shall include, among other matters, anticipated income, expenditures (including capital expenditures and any corresponding capital expenditure budget), leasing/room rates for Facility beds/units and reserves for such year. The Annual

Budget shall not contain expenses or allocations for home office expenses, general corporate or administrative charges, or payroll or other accounting expenses, or any other costs or expenses for which Manager is not entitled to reimbursement hereunder. The Annual Budget shall include a separate line item specifically identifying all fees payable to Manager and any Affiliate of Manager, with respect to the Facility, including any fees payable under this Agreement.

3.2 5BApproval of Budget

6BManager may proceed in accordance with the Annual Budget only if the same is approved by Owner in accordance with the provisions hereof. Upon the receipt of the proposed Annual Budget from Manager, Owner shall have thirty (30) days to approve or disapprove in writing (specifying with reasonable particularity the reasons for such disapproval) the Annual Budget. If Owner does not approve the Annual Budget in writing within this thirty (30) day period, then the submitted Annual Budget shall be deemed disapproved. The Annual Budget or a revision thereof shall be deemed finally approved by Owner only if it is approved in writing by Owner. Owner’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Within ten (10) days of receiving a written response from Owner disapproving (with reasons) the Annual Budget (the “Response”), Manager shall re-submit a revised Annual Budget to Owner addressing the concerns of Owner contained in the Response. Owner shall thereafter have ten (10) days to approve the Annual Budget, and if not approved or disapproved within such time period, such proposed Annual Budget shall be deemed provisionally approved. Manager and Owner shall continue with this process until the Annual Budget is finally approved. As used herein, the “Approved Annual Budget” means (A) the Annual Budget for the then current year as approved by Owner in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2 or (B) if the Annual Budget for the then current year has not yet been so approved by Owner, then during the interim period until such time as Owner approves the Annual Budget for such year, a temporary Annual Budget shall take effect which shall be equal to the prior year’s approved Annual Budget increased by five percent (5%) for all line items, except for taxes, insurance premiums and utilities included in the prior year’s approved Annual Budget, each of which shall equal the amount actually incurred for each such item.

3.3 7BObligation and Authority to Implement Budget

8BManager shall implement the Approved Annual Budget in accordance with the foregoing provisions and shall be authorized, without the need for further approval by Owner, to make the specified expenditures and incur the specified obligations provided for in the Approved Annual Budget (but only if (a) the entry into any agreement provides for a term of less than three (3) months, unless terminable by Manager without cause or penalty upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party), (b) the specified expenditure or obligation is for a sum less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (and a series of related expenditures for amounts less than $50,000 shall be construed as a single agreement for purposes of this subsection (b)), and (c) Manager acts in strict conformance with the Approved Annual Budget in all respects (including the nature, amount and timing of each such expenditure or obligation) except as provided in Section 3.4 below, and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement). The Manager shall use diligent efforts to keep the Owner fully informed regarding all material matters relating to the Facility and its operations and assets (and such other specific matters as the Owner may reasonably request from time to time) and shall so consult on a monthly basis and at all reasonable times

requested by the Owner. In addition, the Manager shall, and shall cause any party retained by it or its Affiliates to implement the matters set forth in any approved Annual Budget to periodically consult with the Owner regarding the implementation of the Approved Annual Budget.

3.4 9BPermitted Deviations from Budget

10BAny deviation from or expenditure inconsistent with the Annual Budget (or the entry into any agreement requiring such deviation or expenditure) shall require the prior written approval of Owner. The consent of Owner to an expenditure payable to an unrelated third party exceeding the amount specified for such expenditure in the Annual Budget shall not be required in any of the following circumstances: (a) Manager, in its reasonable judgment, deems there to be an emergency requiring such expenditures to effectuate immediate action necessary for the protection of the assets of the Facility or to avoid property damage or personal injury or to preserve the well being of residents in the Facility or to avoid impairment of the Facility operating licenses, (b) such expenditure would not cause the aggregate amount of the expenses (excluding the expenses described in clause (c) below) within the Annual Budget to exceed 105% of the entire amount of budgeted expenses (excluding the expenses described in clause (c) below) in the Annual Budget (taking into account the amounts expended to date and reasonably anticipated expenses); or (c) expenditures for real property taxes and assessments and utilities. The provisions of clause (b) above are intended to be in lieu of any contingency category that covers, in whole or in part, costs of the types described in any of the other categories under the Annual Budget (so that excess costs in a specific category might be covered by such contingency category) and accordingly, there shall be no such contingency line item in the Annual Budget; the provisions of clause (b) above are not intended, however, to be in lieu of a contingency category for unanticipated costs that are not of the types described in other categories under the Annual Budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Manager reasonably believes that any Annual Budget excess related to variable expenses shall be corrected prior to the end of the applicable fiscal year, or that such excess is proportionately offset by non-forecasted revenue gains (without any decrease in applicable profit margins), then such excess shall not be considered for the purposes of Default under this Agreement until such fiscal year is concluded and reconciled. In the event the reconciliation demonstrates that the Annual Budget excess related to variable expenses was corrected prior to the end of the such fiscal year, or was proportionately offset by non-forecasted revenue gains (without any decrease in applicable profit margins), then any penalty or default under this Agreement related to such excess shall be waived by Owner. Manager shall promptly notify Owner, both by telephone and in writing, of each permitted Budget deviation made pursuant to this Section 3 and shall promptly supply Owner with such information with respect thereto as Owner may reasonably request.

4.	11BDuties of Manager

4.1	19BGeneral Duty and Relationship

20BManager shall use its Best Efforts (as hereinafter defined) in the management and operation of the Facility to be in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, requirements (including, without limitation license and permit requirements), and guidelines of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, and their designated agents, lawfully asserting jurisdiction with respect to the Facility as well as compliance with all public

and private programs through which Owner, or Manager on behalf of Owner, receives payment, reimbursement, or other compensation for services provided by or at the Facility and otherwise consistent with similarly situated [senior housing/assisted living/skilled nursing facilities] of comparable standard. Manager further covenants that Manager shall use its Best Efforts to avoid citations or complaints by any such governmental authority, or any resident or resident’s family member, with regard to patient care or the operation and maintenance of the Facility, including any citations or complaints which results in a loss, suspension, revocation, de-licensure, or other disciplinary action or fines against the licensee or the Facility. As used in this Agreement, “Best Efforts” shall mean diligent efforts consistent with reasonable business judgment and prevailing commercial practices of institutional property managers that manage properties similar to the Facility in the same market area as the Facility. Except to the extent required to perform its duties under this Agreement or by applicable law or pursuant to court order or judicial process, Manager shall not reveal or give out any information in connection with the Facility, the Resident Agreements or the accounts of the Facility to any person without obtaining Owner’s prior written authorization, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

4.2	21BBooks and Records

22BManager shall maintain records, books and accounts with respect to the management and operation of the Facility and shall retain those records during the Term and, to the extent the subsequent licensed operator of the Facility elects not to take possession of the same upon termination of the Term, for a period of three (3) years thereafter. Manager shall maintain all required records pertaining to the care of individual residents in accordance with all pertinent requirements with respect to maintaining the privacy of such records of care provided to the individual residents under applicable state law as well as Federal Law, including, but not limited to, the Privacy and Security rules in the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (collectively, the “Patient Confidentiality Laws”). Subject to the requirements of the Patient Confidentiality Laws, Owner shall have the right, during Manager’s normal business hours, to inspect and copy such records and audit the monthly reports required by Section 5.6 hereof. Such books and records will include all canceled checks (if canceled checks are provided by the bank to Manager), a separate set of books and records relating to the operation of the Facility maintained on a cash and accrual basis, and monthly summaries of all accounts receivable and accounts payable (to be delivered no later than fifteen (15) days after each month). Manager will hold all such files, books, records and checks (the “Records”) in a secure location and separate from records relating to other purposes.

23BSubject to the requirements of the Patient Confidentiality Laws, during the Term, Owner and its agents, representatives, employees, and auditors may, at such reasonable times as Owner may determine, inspect, audit, and copy any of the Manager’s records, files, reports, and related materials pertaining to the Facility or to Manager’s performance under this Agreement. If an audit by Owner discloses any sum due Owner by Manager or any overpayment to Manager, Manager will promptly reimburse Owner for any amounts due. If the audit discloses a shortfall variance of more than five percent (5%) in the aggregate of amounts due Owner by Manager, Manager will bear the reasonable cost of the audit. Otherwise, the audit will be at Owner’s expense.

4.3	24BEmployment of Personnel

25BManager shall use its Best Efforts to have in its employ at all times a sufficient number of capable employees to enable it to properly, adequately, safely and economically manage, operate, maintain and account for the Facility. Subject to the foregoing, all matters pertaining to the employment, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of such employees are the responsibility of Manager, with respect to which Manager shall exercise reasonable care. Manager is in all respects the employer of such employees, including all on-site and certain off-site personnel. Manager shall negotiate with any union lawfully entitled to represent such employees and may execute in its own name, and not as agent for Owner, collective bargaining agreements or labor contracts resulting therefrom. Manager shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations having to do with worker’s compensation, social security, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions and other employer employee related subjects. Manager represents that it is and will continue to be an equal opportunity employer and must advertise as such. Manager shall have the power to hire, discipline, dismiss or transfer the employees of the Facility, including, but not limited to, the administrator/executive director of the Facility; provided, however, Manager shall keep Owner reasonably informed with respect to the Manager’s desire to transfer or terminate the administrator/executive director, and shall consult with Owner with respect to the hiring of the position, it being understood, however, that any final decisions made in this regard shall be made by Manager. If Owner becomes dissatisfied with the performance of the administrator/executive director, Owner shall have the right to confer with representatives of Manager in charge of operating the Facility to express such dissatisfaction and to discuss the possible consideration of replacing the administrator/executive director or otherwise placing the administrator/executive director on a performance action plan; it being understood, however, that any final decisions made in this regard shall be made by Manager. All employment arrangements are therefore solely Manager’s responsibility and Owner shall have no liability with respect thereto. Nothing contained herein, however, shall be deemed to permit Manager to charge Owner, or to use the income of the Facility to pay, for the services of Manager’s employees (except to the extent provided in the Approved Annual Budget).

4.4	26BMaintenance and Repairs

27BManager shall make periodic inspections of the Facility, including, without limitation, the resident apartments, parking areas, and common areas, to determine necessary and appropriate repairs, maintenance and replacements. Manager shall keep and maintain the Facility in a good, orderly, clean, safe, sanitary and sightly condition and shall perform all repairs, maintenance and changes, do all decorating, and purchase all supplies, necessary, within the parameters of the Approved Annual Budget, for the proper operation of the Facility.

4.5	28BFinancial Statements

Manager shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Owner statements as follows:

(a)	70BAnnual unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and income statement) in a format acceptable to Owner within ninety (90) days of the end of the calendar year.

(b)

71BA monthly report (which shall include balance sheet, income statement, rent roll and a year-to-date operating statement) for each calendar month, certified to be true, accurate and complete in all material respects, and submitted to Owner within thirty (30) days of the end of each such calendar month (the “Periodic Report“). Each Periodic Report shall be in accordance with GAAP except for the manner in which they account for resident move in fees.

(c)

72BAt Owner’s request, audited financial statements (balance sheets and income statements) audited by the “Facility’s Accountants” (i.e., KPMG or another independent nationally recognized accounting firm approved by Owner). Such audit by the Facility’s Accountants may be conducted at a level that consolidates the Facility with other similar properties managed by Manager and owned by affiliates of Owner. In addition, upon Owner’s request, Manager will deliver with the audited financial statements its forecasts or other analysis for the then current fiscal year.

All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of any statements, schedules, computations and other reports required under Sections 4.5(a) and (b) shall be borne by Manager. All costs of tax return preparation and audited financial statements pursuant to Section 4.5(c) shall be at Owner’s expense. Manager shall have no liability for errors in the financial statements prepared during the term of this Agreement which arise from errors in starting accounting balances created from the financial statements of the prior operator of the Facility.

4.6	29BThird Party Reports

Provided Owner has given reasonable prior written notice to Manager of such reporting requirements, Manager shall prepare all reports and financial statements required by any third party to which Owner is required by law or contract to report, including any lender or mortgagee under an Owner’s Loan, and deliver the same to Owner within a time period such that Owner will be able to satisfy its reporting obligations to such third party under the documents or regulations requiring such reporting, such as loan documents evidencing an Owner’s Loan. Additionally, Manager shall supply the information and reports required to prepare any other financial reports required by Owner in good faith. Any reports or financial statements required under this Section 4.6 that are in excess of those required under Section 4.5 shall be prepared at Owner’s expense.

4.7	30BData Processing

Manager shall, at its own expense, directly or through an affiliate, provide the data processing required to maintain the financial, payroll, and accounting records of the Facility.

4.8 31BHealth Care Licenses

32BThe parties acknowledge and agree that as of the Effective Date, [Manager/Owner] has obtained all licenses and certifications, including, but not limited to, Medicare and Medicaid, if applicable, required for the lawful operation of the Facility. [Manager/Owner] shall use its Best

Efforts to maintain all such licenses and certifications in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement.

4.9	33BInsurance

It is the intention of the parties hereto to secure the broadest and most cost-effective insurance available to cover Owner and Manager in the protection, operation and enhancement of the Facility, which is usually accomplished when both principal parties are insured under the same policies. In any event, such insurance shall, at all times, be required to satisfy the requirements of Owner’s Loan. Thus, Manager, Owner and Owner’s lenders are (1) to be included as insureds (or additional insureds in the case of a lender under an Owner’s Loan) under Owner’s general liability insurance obtained by Owner or, if requested by Owner, by Manager covering inherent and operational hazards associated with the management of the Facility, and (2) to receive a waiver, to the extent necessary, of all direct damage insurers’ rights of subrogation against Manager and Owner under all direct damage insurance policies covering the Facility. Manager shall not be required to obtain separate coverage except to the extent Manager is no longer covered under Owner’s policies, and in such event, any claims made under such Manager’s coverage shall include Owner as an additional insured and waive Manager’s insurer’s rights of subrogation against Owner where such waivers are possible.

All insurance policies required of either party under this Section 4.9 shall be maintained as an expense of the Facility (and not of Manager) and shall (1) be issued by reputable, financially sound companies licensed to do business in the state in which the Facility is located, and which have an A.M. Best rating of A-VIII, or better; and (2) require at least thirty (30) days’ unconditional notice to the other party of cancellation of coverage (except that ten (10) days’ notice of cancellation for non-payment of premium may be given). Owner’s or Manager’s, as applicable General Liability Insurance policy shall be endorsed to be primary insurance in its coverage of both parties, and any General Liability Insurance policy maintained separately by Manager shall be endorsed to be excess and non-contributory with policies carried by Owner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.9, to the extent permitted by Owners’ Loan, the obligation to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Manager; provided, however, that the coverage afforded Owner and Owner’s lender will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be materially different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other requirements hereof by reason of the use of the blanket policy, and provided further that the requirements of this Section 4.9 are otherwise satisfied, and provided further that Manager maintains specific allocations acceptable to Owner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with the exception of losses, damages, liability or expenses incurred due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other, neither Manager nor Owner shall assert against the other, and each does hereby waive with respect to each other, any claims for any losses, damages, liability or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred or sustained by either of them on account of injury to persons or damage to property arising out of the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Facility to the extent that the same are covered by the insurance carried under this Section 4.9. Each party shall

cause its respective insurance companies to waive subrogation against the other on account thereof.

5.	12BDefault

In the event that either party is in default of any of the obligations hereunder (the “Defaulting Party”), the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall give the Defaulting Party written notice of such default (the “Notice of Default”). The Defaulting Party shall thereafter have ten (10) days after receipt of such written Notice of Default to cure a monetary default and thirty (30) days after receipt of such written Notice of Default to cure a non-monetary default, provided that if due to the nature of a non-monetary default the Defaulting Party cannot reasonably cure such default within such thirty (30) day period, then the Defaulting Party shall have such additional period of sixty (60) days to cure such default if the Defaulting Party commences the cure within said initial thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

6.	13BTermination Rights

This Agreement may be terminated and, except as to liabilities or claims of either party hereto which may have arisen before such termination, the obligations of Manager and Owner under this Agreement may be terminated, by mutual agreement of Manager and Owner or otherwise upon the written notice of the party terminating this Agreement to the other party, after the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 6.

(c) 75BSuspension or Termination of Licensure. If any license for the operation for the Facility is suspended, terminated, or revoked for any reason other than a cause

which is outside the control of Manager, or, to the extent applicable, the Facility is decertified from participation in Medicare or Medicaid, if applicable, and such suspension, termination, revocation, or involuntarily decertification shall continue in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days after all appeals have been exhausted.

(d) 76BTortious Acts By Manager. Any act by Manager that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(e) 77BCasualty or Condemnation. In the event Owner permanently discontinues the operation of the Facility on account of damage to or destruction of, or a taking by (or sale under threat of) eminent domain of, a substantial part of the Facility or pursuant to Section 8.8.

(f) 78BTermination Upon Transfer. If Owner sells or otherwise transfers its interest in the Facility, or if all of the membership interests in Owner are directly or indirectly sold to a third party.

6.2	35BTermination by Manager

Manager may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ notice with cause at any time, subject to providing notice to Owner as set forth below, and for any of the reasons set forth in Section 6.2(a) through 6.2(f):

(a) Default. Default by Owner under this Agreement and Owner’s failure to cure the same within the applicable cure period set forth in Section 5.

(b) Suspension or Termination of Licensure. If any license for the operation of the Facility that has been issued in the name of Owner is at any time suspended, terminated, or revoked due to the fault of Owner and such suspension, termination or revocation shall continue in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days after all appeals have been exhausted.

(c) Bankruptcy or Dissolution. The occurrence of any Bankruptcy/ Dissolution Event with respect to Owner. For purposes of this Section 6.2(c), a “Bankruptcy/Dissolution Event with respect to Owner” shall mean the commencement or occurrence of any of the following: if Owner shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or liquidator of all or a substantial part of Owner’s assets, file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, file a petition or any answer seeking reorganization or arrangement with creditors, or take advantage of any insolvency law, or if an order, judgment, or decree shall be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, on the application of a creditor, adjudicating Owner as bankrupt or appointing a receiver, trustee, or liquidator of Owner with respect to all or a substantial part of Owner’s assets, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue in effect for any period of ninety (90) consecutive days.

(f) Insufficient Funds. The Facility is not generating sufficient revenue to pay the costs and expenses of the Facility, and there are insufficient funds in the Operating Account, and Owner fails, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request from Manager, to place sufficient funds in the Operating Account, to pay same, provided that Manager gives at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of termination to Owner.

6.3	36BEffect of Termination

Termination of this Agreement shall terminate all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, except for any provision of this Agreement which is expressly described as surviving any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Such termination, however, shall not terminate the rights and obligations of the parties (including any compensation due to Manager under Section X2X) which accrued prior to the effective date of termination nor shall it prejudice the rights of either party against the other for any breach of this Agreement. Upon termination, the payment of any compensation to Manager shall be offset by any damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Owner by reason of any act or omission by Manager that is a breach of this Agreement or constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud (as determined by final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction). Upon termination of this Agreement, Owner, in its sole discretion, may select another entity to succeed Manager, subject to approval by any applicable regulatory authorities. Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, provided Owner or Owner’s designee is duly licensed to operate the Facility as of the date on which this Agreement is terminated, either party’s termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof shall terminate any and all rights of Manager to act on behalf of or with respect to the Facility (and Manager shall, if Owner so requests, execute a notice to third parties, in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner, to the effect that Manager’s rights have been so terminated).

6.4	37BFinal Accounting

Upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement as herein provided, Manager shall (a) deliver to Owner a final accounting within thirty (30) days of such expiration or termination; (b) surrender and deliver up to Owner possession of the Facility and all rents and income, including resident security deposits, of the Facility and other monies of Owner on hand and in any bank account as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than five (5) business days after such termination or expiration); (c) deliver to Owner, as received, any monies due Owner under this Agreement but received after such termination as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than two (2) business days after receipt); (d) deliver to Owner all materials and supplies, keys, contracts and documents, and such other accounting

papers and records pertaining to this Agreement as Owner shall request as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) assign any right Manager may have in and to any existing contracts relating to the operation and maintenance of the Facility as Owner shall require as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than five (5) business days after such termination or expiration); and (f) deliver to Owner, or Owner’s duly appointed agent, all books and records, contracts, leases, resident’s agreements, receipts for deposits and unpaid bills relating to the Facility as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than five (5) business days after such termination or expiration).

6.5	38BCooperation

If at any time during the term of this Agreement, Owner, in its sole discretion, elects by written notice to Manager to become the licensed operator and, if applicable, Medicare and/or Medicaid certified provider of the Facility, Manager shall use its Best Efforts to assist Owner in its efforts to expeditiously apply for, acquire, and obtain and thereafter maintain, health care licenses required under applicable law for the operation of the Facility in the name of the Owner and shall keep Owner fully informed of all efforts and status of said applications. In such event, Owner and Manager will also enter into such amendments to this Management Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to allow Owner, rather than Manager, to be the licensed operator of the Facility.

In the event this Agreement is terminated, Manager shall reasonably cooperate with Owner to ensure that operational responsibility for the Facility is transferred to Owner or such other entity as may be designated by Owner, in each instance subject to either Owner or such transferee being duly licensed to operate the Facility upon termination of this Agreement; provided, however, in the event that neither Owner nor such transferee is not duly licensed by the date on which this Agreement terminates, then, to the extent required and permitted by applicable law, Manager shall enter into an interim operating agreement, on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Manager and either Owner or such transferee under which either Owner or such transferee shall be permitted to operate the Facility under Manager’s license until such time as a new license is issued to Owner or such transferee; provided, further, such interim operating agreement shall, at a minimum, include an appropriate indemnity to Manager from a creditworthy entity from any liability Manager may incur as a result of the operation of the Facility under its license. Without limitation of the foregoing, Manager shall, for a period of thirty (30) days after such expiration or termination, make itself reasonably available, at no cost to Owner, to consult with and advise Owner and/or the new licensee regarding the operation and maintenance of the Facility and the transfer of accounts and accounting systems.

7.	14BIndemnification

Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner and its members, directors, officers and employees from any and all Claims sustained or incurred by or asserted against any one or more of them caused by the grossly negligent or willful misconduct or fraud of Manager or its agents or employees, or acts by Manager outside the scope of its authority under this Agreement. Owner agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Manager and its shareholders, directors, officers and employees from any and all Claims sustained or incurred by or asserted against any one or more of them caused by the grossly negligent or willful

misconduct or fraud of Owner or its agents (other than Manager) or employees or acts by Owner outside the scope of its authority under this Agreement. As used in this Section 7, “Claims” means any third party claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and court costs (except to the extent covered by insurance carried or required to be carried by the indemnified persons pursuant to this Agreement). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each party’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party shall survive termination of this Agreement.

8.3	41BAssignment

Owner may assign all or part of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Manager to any third party purchaser of (i) the Facility or (ii) all of the membership interests in Owner, subject to Manager’s termination rights set forth in Section 6.2 above. Subject to the terms and conditions of Owner’s Loan, Manager may not assign its interest in this Agreement except to a wholly owned subsidiary of [Manager/Emeritus Corporation].

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Owner and Manager, as well as to their respective successors and, to the extent permitted hereunder, their assigns.

The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall not be mutually exclusive, i.e., the exercise of one or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise of any other provision hereof.

8.6.	44BNo Waiver

No waiver by either party of any default of the other party or of any event, circumstance or condition permitting a party to terminate this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other default of the other party or of any other event, circumstance or condition permitting such termination, whether of the same or of any other nature or type and whether preceding, concurrent or succeeding; and no failure on the part of either party to exercise any right it may have by the terms hereof or by law upon the default of the other party and no delay in the exercise of such right shall prevent the exercise thereof by the Non-Defaulting Party at any time when the other party may continue to be so in default, and no such failure or delay and no waiver of default shall operate as a waiver of any other default, or as a modification in any respect of the provisions of this Agreement. The subsequent acceptance of any payment or performance pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding default by a Defaulting

Party or of any preceding event, circumstance or condition permitting termination hereunder, other than default in the payment of the particular payment or the performance of the particular matter so accepted, regardless of the Non-Defaulting Party’s knowledge of the preceding default or the preceding event, circumstance or condition, at the time of accepting such payment or performance, nor shall the Non-Defaulting Party’s acceptance of such payment or performance after termination constitute a reinstatement, extension or renewal of this Agreement or revocation of any notice or other act by the Non-Defaulting Party.

8.7.	45BApprovals and Consents

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any approval or consent provided to be given by Owner hereunder shall not be unreasonably withheld but must be contained in a writing signed by Owner in order to be effective.

In the event that at any time or times prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Facility or any part thereof shall be condemned or shall be voluntarily sold (Owner hereby expressly reserving the right and power to do so, notwithstanding any other provision hereof) for a purpose for which the same could be acquired by the purchaser pursuant to eminent domain proceedings, then the interests of Manager hereunder in the portion or portions of the same so condemned or sold shall forthwith terminate, and all compensation and damages awarded or paid by reason of such condemnation or sale shall be paid and belong solely to Owner and, if and to the extent required, the residents shall be discharged, and the Facility shall be closed, in accordance with the requirements of applicable law. In the event that less than all of the real property then included in the Facility shall be so condemned or sold but such condemnation or sale shall injure the Facility to such extent that the remaining portion thereof cannot be made effectively usable for a [senior living/assisted living/skilled nursing] facility, then either party may terminate this Agreement as to the Facility by written notice to the other party given within ten (10) days after the transfer of title to the condemning authority and the Facility shall be closed, in accordance with the requirements of applicable law.

EXHIBIT “G”U

CERTAIN TAX AND ACCOUNTING MATTERS

ARTICLE I UDEFINITIONSU.

Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit have the meanings set forth below or in the Section of this Exhibit referred to below, except as otherwise expressly indicated or limited by the context in which they appear in this Exhibit. All terms defined in this Article I in the singular have the same meanings when used in the plural and vice versa. Accounting terms used but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them under generally accepted accounting principles. References to Sections and Articles refer to sections and articles of this Exhibit, unless the context requires otherwise. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Exhibit shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Limited Liability Company Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached (the “LLC Agreement”).

Section 1.1 “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means with respect to any Member, the negative balance, if any, in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year, determined after giving effect to the following adjustments: (a) credit to such Capital Account any portion of such negative balance which such Member (i) is treated as obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(UcU), or (ii) is deemed to be obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and (b) debit to such Capital Account the items described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(UdU)(U4U), (U5U) and (U6U). This definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(UdU) and 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Section 1.2 “Book Gain” or “Book Loss” means the gain or loss recognized by the Company for Code Section 704(b) book purposes in any Fiscal Year by reason of the sale or other disposition of any of the assets of the Company. Such Book Gain or Book Loss shall be computed by reference to the Carrying Value of such property or assets as of the date of such sale or disposition (determined in accordance with Section 1.5), rather than by reference to the tax basis of such property or assets as of such date, and each and every reference herein to “gain” or “loss” shall be deemed to refer to Book Gain or Book Loss, rather than to tax gain or tax loss, unless the context manifestly otherwise requires.

Section 1.3 “Capital Account” has the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 2.1.

Section 1.4 “Capital Contribution” means, with respect to any Member, the amount of money and the fair market value of any property (other than money) contributed to the Company with respect to the interest in the Company held by such Member.

Section 1.5 “Carrying Value” means (a) with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member, the fair market value of such property, as determined in good faith by BREA, reduced (but not below zero) by all Depreciation with respect to such property charged to the Members’ Capital Accounts and (b) with respect to any other property of the Company, the

adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes, all as of the time of determination. The Carrying Value of any property shall, subject to Section 3.2E(2), be adjusted in accordance with Section 2.3 from time to time (including, without limitation, at such times provided in Section 2.3B) to reflect changes, additions or other adjustments to the Carrying Value for dispositions and acquisitions of Company property, as deemed appropriate by BREA.

To the extent permitted by the Code and the Treasury Regulations and subject in all events to Section 3.2E(2), items of income and gain specially allocated pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of Profits and Losses pursuant to this Article III, so that the net amount of any items so allocated to each Member and the subsequent Profits and Losses allocated to such

Member pursuant to this Article III shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Article III if such unexpected adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The Owners are direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of [BRE/SW PORTFOLIO LLC] (the “Parent” and the Owners, each referred to herein as “Property Owners” or “Property Owner”). [On the date hereof, the Owners are [acquiring] directly (and, in the case of Parent, indirectly through the Owners) the beneficial title of the property listed opposite the Owner’s name on Schedule A hereto (each referred to herein as the “Property”).] In connection with such acquisition, each Property Owner hereby agrees that in addition to, and without prejudice to, or limitation on, any of the rights of BRE/SW Member LLC (the “Company”) with respect to its indirect interests in the Property Owner, the Company shall have the right to:

(i) receive copies of all reports relating to the management or development of the Property including management and development services provided by any property manager or other third party retained by the Property Owner;

(ii) periodically inspect the Property and make recommendations to the Property Owner relating to the management or development of the Property;

(iii) participate in any decisions with respect to the retention or the termination of the services of any property manager with respect to the Property;

(iv) consult with appropriate officers of the Property Owner in advance with respect to any significant management and development matters including, without limitation, the management, participatory and development rights retained by the Property Owner under that certain [Management Agreement] dated ________ __, 2009 by and among ______________ and the other entities listed on the signature pages thereof; and

(v) such other consultation and participation rights with respect to the Property as may be reasonably determined by the Company to be necessary to qualify as a “real estate operating company” for purposes of the United States Department of Labor Regulation published at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d) (a “REOC”).

The Property Owners agree to consider in good faith the recommendations of the Company hereunder in connection with the matters on which it is consulted as described above.

In the event the Company transfers all or any portion of its investment in the Property Owner to an affiliated entity that is intended to qualify as a REOC, such transferee shall be afforded the same rights with respect to the Property afforded to the Company hereunder.

This letter agreement and the rights and the duties of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York and may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
