Owner hereby appoints and engages Manager, and Manager hereby accepts appointment by Owner on the terms and conditions hereinafter provided, to stabilize, maintain, operate, manage, supervise, rent and lease the Community on Owner’s behalf. The performance of all activities by Manager hereunder shall be as an independent contractor and not as an agent of Owner, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. With reference to any item in this Agreement, whenever written criteria are submitted to Manager from Owner, Manager shall use its best efforts to meet such criteria; however, if no written criteria are submitted to Manager, Manager shall carry out the policies and terms of this Agreement in a manner consistent with the highest standards of professional management applicable to the senior living industry.

The parties to this Agreement understand and acknowledge that Manager is an affiliate of the TFG Member and the TFG Member is the current Administrative Member (as defined in the Owner Parent Operating Agreement) of Owner Parent. Manager acknowledges and agrees that, as an affiliate of the TFG Member, Manager has (and shall be deemed to have) knowledge of and familiarity with all of the terms and conditions of the Owner Parent Operating Agreement including, but not limited to (i) requirements under the Owner Parent Operating Agreement to obtain the consent or approval of the NorthStar Member for certain decisions as therein provided, (ii) the provisions of the Owner Parent Operating Agreement regarding removal of the TFG Member as the Administrative Member and the termination of this Agreement, and (iii) the provisions of the Owner Parent Operating Agreement regarding the exercise of rights and the enforcement of remedies of Owner under this Agreement by the NorthStar Member. Without limiting the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of Manager to act on behalf of Owner or otherwise take any action, Manager will not take or effectuate any NorthStar Approval Action (as defined in the Owner Parent Operating Agreement) without first obtaining the consent of the NorthStar Member in accordance with the Owner Parent Operating Agreement.


2.2	Indemnification.

By Manager. Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold Owner (including the members and affiliates of Owner and the shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of Owner and such members and affiliates) harmless from and against any and all third party claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, experts’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses), actions proceedings, demands or suits of any kind (“Claims”) arising directly or indirectly from (i) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud in managing and/or operating the Community, (ii) any claims of Community Employees at the Community if and to the extent such claims arise from Manager’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or Material Breach, or (iii) a Material Breach of this Agreement by Manager (collectively, “Manager Liability Claims”). For the avoidance of doubt, neither Claims resulting from environmental conditions at the Community (other than to the extent caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal acts or fraud of Manager) nor Claims resulting from the actions or inactions of Community Employees at the Community (so long as neither the hiring nor supervision of such employees, in and of itself, constituted gross negligence, or fraud willful misconduct of Manager) shall be deemed to be Manager Liability Claims. All costs and expenses incurred by Manager under this Section 2.2(a) shall be born solely by Manager and shall not be treated as Authorized Expenditures.


b)	By Owner. Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless from and against any and all Claims arising directly or indirectly from the ownership, operation and management of the Community except to the extent that such Claims are Manager Liability Claims. All costs and expenses incurred by Owner under this Subsection 2.2(b) shall be Authorized Expenditures (as defined in Section 6.2).


c)	Survival. This Section 2.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


2.3	Management Fee.


a)	Commencing on the Effective Date, Owner shall pay Manager a monthly management fee equal to Five Percent (5%) of Gross Revenue (prorated for partial months) (the “Management Fee”).

b)	An estimate of the Management Fee shall be due and payable on the first (1st) business day of the month in which such services are to be provided; provided, however, that the actual Management Fee shall thereafter be adjusted, from time to

time, based upon the actual Gross Revenues billed during such month and reconciled against the estimated Management Fee previously paid to Manager for such month within twenty-five (25) days following conclusion of such month. Manager is hereby authorized and directed to withdraw and pay Manager for its services as provided for herein on the due dates thereof from the Operating Accounts.


c)	Owner shall also pay Manager a one-time fee of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) to cover the Manager’s start-up and mobilization costs.

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Section 2.3 shall be determined by binding arbitration in New York, New York before a sole arbitrator (who must be a current, former or retired federal district judge, or an experienced arbitrator who has been admitted to the practice of law for at least fifteen years, each with experience with large, complex real estate and retirement facility disputes). The parties hereto shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by respondent of notice of a dispute to agree on the identity of the arbitrator. If the parties cannot timely agree on the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall render a decision within thirty (30) days of selection, and shall allocate all of the costs of arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator and the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party.


2.4	Eligible Independent Contractor.


a)	Manager hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, Manager satisfies the requirements and conditions of being an Eligible Independent Contractor.


b)	Manager hereby covenants that, at all times during the Operating Term, it shall maintain its status as an Eligible Independent Contractor and shall not do, or omit to do, anything that would cause Manager to no longer meet the requirements of being an Eligible Independent Contractor.

Within five (5) business days of Owner’s request, Manager shall deliver to Owner a certificate, executed by an executive officer of Manager, addressed to the NorthStar REIT and, and in the form attached hereto as Schedule E, confirming that either (i) Manager is, and has at all times from and after the date of this Agreement been, in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.4, (ii) Manager is in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.4 and has timely cured any past failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.4, or (iii) Manager is using commercially reasonable efforts to cure any failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.4.

If there shall be an amendment or modification to Section 856(d)(9) of the Code after the date of this Agreement that adversely impacts Manager’s qualification as an Eligible Independent Contractor under the Code, Manager shall cooperate reasonably with Owner, the NorthStar REIT and their respective Affiliates and shall exercise reasonable efforts to effectuate solutions or “workarounds” to address any REIT qualification concerns under the Code of the NorthStar REIT and its Affiliates arising out of any such amendment or modification; provided that (i) to the extent reasonably practicable, any such changes shall be structured so as to not have any negative impact on Manager in any material respect, and (ii) Owner shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of the cost (including legal fees for Manager) in connection with the negotiation and documentation of any such amendments or modifications.

Manager shall notify Owner within five (5) business days of any matter, event, transaction or other circumstance that, to Manager’s knowledge, could reasonably be expected to (i) violate the terms of this Section 2.4 and (ii) jeopardize or threaten the qualification or status or legal compliance with any government regulations relating to the operation or qualification as a real estate investment trust for United States federal tax purposes, of the NorthStar REIT or its Affiliates (either presently or with the passage of time) or both.

Manager acknowledges that Owner, the NorthStar REIT and/or their respective Affiliates may suffer immediate and irreparable harm in the event of any breach by Manager of any of its obligations contained in this Section 2.4. Accordingly, Owner, as its sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a breach of this Section 2.4 shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1(g)(iii); provided, however, that (i) Manager shall be permitted to cure any such breach of this Section 2.4 (so long as Manager is pursuing such cure with reasonable diligence) unless Owner determines that the REIT status of NorthStar REIT is, or is at such time reasonably likely to be, impaired by such breach (and accordingly, Owner shall not be permitted to enforce its termination right unless Owner determines that the REIT status of NorthStar REIT is, or at such time is reasonably likely to be, impaired by such breach); and (ii) the restriction on Owner’s remedies set forth in this Section 2.4(f) shall not apply with respect to (A) a breach of Section 2.4(a) or (B) a breach of any other provision of this Section 2.4 which also constitutes a breach under any provision of Section 4.1(d) (other than clause (ii) thereof).

11.2	Operational Insurance. Manager shall, commencing on the Effective Date and during the term of this Agreement, procure and maintain, using funds in the Operating Account, the following insurance:


a)	Worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance as may be required under applicable laws covering all of the Community Employees with such deductible limits or self-insured retentions as determined by Owner;


b)	Crime/fidelity bonds with limits not less than $1,000,000 and deductibles to be determined by Manager, covering its Community Employees in job classifications normally bonded in the seniors housing industry or as otherwise required by law, and comprehensive crime insurance to the extent Manager determines it is necessary for the Community; and


c)	Such other insurance and/or additional coverage in amounts as Owner in its reasonable judgment deems advisable for its protection against claims, liabilities and losses arising out of or connected with Manager’s performance under this Agreement.

11.3

Cost and Expense. Insurance premiums and any costs or expenses with respect to the insurance described in this Article XI and Schedule H (including, without limitation, insurance for claims asserted by Community Employees against Manager for Manager’s employment practices or actions) shall be treated as Authorized Expenditures to the extent in accordance with Section 6.2. Premiums on policies for more than one (1) year shall be charged pro rata against Gross Revenues over the period of the policies. Any reserves, losses, costs, damages or expenses which are uninsured, or fall within deductible limits or self-insured retentions, shall be treated as a cost of insurance and shall be Authorized Expenditures. Upon termination of this Agreement, an escrow fund in an amount reasonably acceptable to Owner and Manager shall be established from Gross Revenues (or, if Gross Revenues are not sufficient, with funds provided by Owner) to cover the amount of any deductible limits or self-insured retentions which will eventually have to be paid by either Owner or Manager, as applicable, with respect to pending claims.


11.4	Policies and Endorsements.

All policies of insurance provided under Section 11.1 shall name Manager and Owner and Lessor and their respective members and principals as insured, and shall name the parties set forth on Schedule I as additional insured parties. In addition, Lender shall be named as mortgagee, loss payee and an additional insured party, as applicable. The Owner shall deliver to Manager and Manager shall deliver to Owner certificates of insurance with respect to all policies so procured, including existing, additional and renewal policies and, in the case of insurance about to expire, shall deliver certificates of insurance with respect to the renewal policies not less than ten (10) days prior to the respective dates of expiration.


b)	All policies of insurance provided for under Article XI shall, to the extent obtainable, have attached thereto an endorsement that such policy shall not be canceled (except for non-payment of premium) or materially changed without at least thirty (30) days

prior written notice to Owner and Manager (and such policy shall not be cancelled without at least ten (10) days prior written notice).


c)	Policies must be written on a per occurrence basis except for earthquake and professional liability coverage.


d)	Coverage must be issued by an insurance carrier with an A.M. Best general policyholder’s rating of “A” or better and a performance index rating of X or higher.


e)	All policies and renewals thereof, are to be written for not less than one year.


f)	All existing or new policies must be paid in full and cannot be financed unless approved in advance by Owner.


11.5	Tail Insurance. Manager shall procure and maintain, using funds deducted from Gross Revenues, with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Owner, tail insurance with a policy term of at least two (2) years for any insurance policy maintained by the Manager or Owner on so-called “claims made” basis in the occurrence of the following events:


g)	Upon any change in liability insurance from a so-called “claims-made” basis to a so-called “occurrence” basis. A “prior acts endorsement” may be procured in lieu of the tail insurance referenced above.

12.7	Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and no modification or interpretation hereof shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both of the parties hereto.

12.8

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, and such invalidity or unenforceability does not destroy the basis of the bargain between the parties, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.


12.9	Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.


12.10	Use. Manager shall manage and operate the Community solely as a seniors housing community under standards comparable to those prevailing in the seniors housing industry and for activities in connection therewith that are customary and usual to such an operation.


12.11	Waiver. The failure of either party to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any option, right or remedy herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or as a relinquishment for the future of such term, provision, option, right or remedy, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No

waiver by either party of any term or provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by such party.

12.12

Failure to Perform. If Manager or Owner shall at any time fail to make any payments as specified or required hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be made or performed hereunder, without limitation, then the other party, after ten (10) business days written notice to the defaulting party, may (but shall not be obligated to) pay any such delinquent amount or perform any other act on the defaulting party’s part to be made or performed as provided in this Agreement and may enter upon the Community premises for said purpose and take all such action thereon as may be necessary or desirable therefor. Any sums thus paid and all performance of any such acts, together with interest thereon at the fixed rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the “Default Rate”) from the date that such payment is made or such costs and expenses incurred, shall constitute a liquidated amount to be paid by the defaulting party under this Agreement to the other on demand from the defaulting party’s funds.

12.13

Breach of Covenant. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, Owner and Manager and/or their affiliates shall be entitled, in case of any breach of this Agreement by the other party or other claiming through it, to seek injunctive relief and any other right or remedy available at law or in equity. The rights of Owner and Manager pursuant to this Section 12.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.


12.14	Headings. Headings or Articles and Sections are inserted only for convenience and are in no way to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the particular Articles or Sections to which they refer.

12.15

Force Majeure. In the event that either party should be prevented from performing any of its duties hereunder by operation of Force Majeure, or other cause beyond the party’s reasonable control, then while so prevented, the affected party’s duties to comply with such obligations shall be suspended. The term “Force Majeure” shall mean forces of nature, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, accidents to building or machinery, explosions or other causes not within the reasonable control of the affected party. For avoidance of doubt, the failure of Owner to provide Working Capital required under Section 6.4 shall be deemed an event of Force Majeure with respect to the performance of specific obligations by Manager that are affected by the level of Working Capital.
