The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and distributorship and agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares on said terms and conditions, commencing promptly in jurisdictions in which the Shares are registered or qualified for sale or in which such offering is otherwise permitted.
The term “Offering Period” shall mean that period during which Shares may be offered for sale, commencing on the date hereof and during which period offers and sales of the Shares shall occur continuously unless and until the Offering is terminated as provided in Section 11 hereof, except that the Dealer Manager and the Dealers shall immediately suspend or terminate the offering of the Shares, in total or in any state or states, upon request of the Company at any time and shall resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company. The Offering Period shall in all events terminate upon the sale of all of the Shares. Upon termination of the Offering Period, the Dealer Manager’s agency and this Agreement shall terminate without obligation on the part of the Dealer Manager or the Company except as set forth in this Agreement.

| commission rate established in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, multiplied by the number of Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. In the event that no payment of commissions or other compensation is due to the Dealer Manager after such withdrawal occurs, the Dealer Manager shall pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within ten (10) days following receipt of notice by the Dealer Manager from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions. |

The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person, in connection with investigating or defending such Loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished (x) to the Company by the Dealer Manager or (y) to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of any Dealer specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendment thereto or any such Authorized Sales Materials or any such Blue Sky Application or any such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, and, further, the Company will not be liable in any such case if it is determined that such Dealer or the Dealer Manager was at fault in connection with the Loss, expense or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnified Person for any Losses or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (a) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular Indemnified Person, (b) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular Indemnified Person and (c) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular Indemnified |
8
| Person and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws. |
| 6.2. | The Dealer Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company (including any person named in the Registration Statement, with his consent, as about to become a director), each other person who has signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each a “Company Indemnitee”), from and against any Losses to which any of the Company Indemnitees may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto or (ii) any Authorized Sales Materials or (iii) any Blue Sky Application, or (b) the omission to state in the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any Authorized Sales Materials or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, if used prior to the Effective Date, or in the Prospectus or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, in the case of each of clauses (a)-(c) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereto or any such Authorized Sales Materials or any such Blue Sky Application or any such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or (d) any unauthorized use of sales materials or use of unauthorized verbal representations concerning the Shares by the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Dealer Manager may otherwise have. |
| 6.3. | Each Dealer severally will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager, each of their directors (including any person named in the Registration Statement, with his consent, as about to become a director), each other person who has signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, a “Dealer Indemnified Person”) from and against any Losses to which a Dealer Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto or (ii) any Authorized Sales Materials or (iii) in any Blue Sky Application, or (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto, any Authorized Sales Materials, or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, if used prior to the Effective Date, or in the Prospectus or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the case of each |
9
| of clauses (a)-(c) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of such Dealer specifically for use with reference to such Dealer in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereto or any such Authorized Sales Materials or any such Blue Sky Application or any such Preliminary Prospectus, or (d) any unauthorized use of sales materials or use of unauthorized verbal representations concerning the Shares by such Dealer or Dealer’s representatives or agents in violation of Section VI of the Participating Dealer Agreement or otherwise. Each such Dealer will reimburse each Dealer Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Dealer may otherwise have. |
| 6.4. | Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure of an indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 6 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 6.5) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnified party. |
| 6.5. | The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm. |
| 7. | SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. |

Exhibit A
To
XXXXXXX-AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT II, INC.
UP TO $1,650,000,000 IN SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
PARTICIPATING DEALER AGREEMENT
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Xxxxxxx Capital Securities, Inc., a California corporation, as the dealer manager (“Dealer Manager”) for Xxxxxxx-American Healthcare REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), invites you (“Dealer”) to participate in the distribution of shares of common stock (“Shares”) of the Company subject to the following terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement between the Dealer Manager and the Company dated , 201 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”).
By Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement, Dealer will become one of the Dealers referred to in the Dealer Manager Agreement and will be entitled and subject to the terms and conditions of the Dealer Manager Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 6.3 of the Dealer Manager Agreement wherein the Dealers severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Indemnified Persons.
Dealer hereby agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares for cash on the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to make Dealer an employee, agent, representative or partner of the Dealer Manager or of the Company, and Dealer is not authorized to act for the Dealer Manager or the Company or to make any representations on their behalf except as set forth in the Prospectus and such other printed information furnished to Dealer by the Dealer Manager to supplement the Prospectus (“Supplemental Information”).
II. Submission of Orders.
Dealer hereby agrees to solicit, as an independent contractor and not as the agent of the Dealer Manager or of the Company (or their affiliates), persons acceptable to the Company to purchase the Shares pursuant to the subscription agreement in the form attached to the Prospectus and in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus. Dealer hereby agrees to diligently make inquiries as required by this Agreement, as set forth in the Prospectus, and as required by all applicable laws of all prospective investors in order to ascertain whether a purchase of the Shares is suitable for each such investor.
Those persons who purchase Shares will be instructed by the Dealer to make their checks payable to “Xxxxxxx-American Healthcare REIT II, Inc.” Checks received by the Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the following methods:
1. Where, pursuant to the Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, internal supervisory review is conducted at the same location at which subscription documents and checks are received from subscribers, checks will be transmitted promptly the next business day following receipt by Dealer for deposit to the Company.
2. Where, pursuant to the Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location, checks will be transmitted promptly on the next business day following receipt by Dealer to the office of the Dealer conducting such final internal supervisory review
A-1
(the “Final Review Office”). The Final Review Office will in turn transmit promptly on the next business day following receipt by the Final Review Office such checks for deposit to the escrow agent or the Company, as applicable.
III. Pricing.
Except as described in the Prospectus, $1,500,000,000 in Shares shall be offered to the public at the offering price of $10.22 per Share, payable in cash pursuant to the primary offering and up to $150,000,000 in Shares will be offered pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. During this offering, Shares may be purchased pursuant to the DRIP for $9.71 per Share. Thereafter, Shares in the DRIP will be offered at (1) 95.0% of the offering price in any subsequent public equity offering during such offering, and (2) 95.0% of the most recent offering price for the first 12 months subsequent to the close of the last public offering of Shares prior to the listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange. After that 12-month period, participants in the DRIP plan may acquire Shares at 95.0% of the per Share valuation determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose until the listing. From and after the date of listing, participants may acquire Shares at a price equal to 100% of the average daily open and close price per share on the distribution payment date, as reported by the national securities exchange on which the Shares are traded. Except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus or in any letter or memorandum sent to the Dealer by the Company or Dealer Manager, a minimum initial purchase of $2,500 is required. The Shares are nonassessable.
IV. Dealers’ Commissions.
Except for discounts described in or as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, Dealer’s selling commission applicable to the total public offering price of Shares sold in the primary offering by Dealer that it is authorized to sell hereunder is 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold by it and accepted and confirmed by the Company, which commissions will be paid by the Dealer Manager. For these purposes, a “sale of Shares” shall occur if and only if a transaction has closed with a securities purchaser pursuant to all applicable offering and subscription documents and the Company has thereafter distributed the commission to the Dealer Manager in connection with such transaction. The Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions payable is limited solely to the proceeds of commissions receivable associated therewith, and the Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of commissions due until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the commission from the Company.
No selling commissions will be paid, and the per Share cash price shall be reduced to 93% of the per Share offering price, in connection with Shares sold in the primary offering in the event that the investor has engaged the services of a registered investment adviser or other financial advisor, paid on a fee-for-service or assets under management basis by the investor.
No selling commissions will be paid, and the per Share cash price shall be reduced to 93% of the per Share offering price, in connection with Shares sold to (i) retirement plans of Dealer, (ii) Dealer in its individual capacity, (iii) IRAs and qualified plans of Dealer’s registered representatives or (iv) any one of Dealer’s registered representatives in their individual capacities.
Selling commissions or dealer manager fee will be reduced, and the per Share cash price shall be adjusted accordingly to no lower than 90% of the per Share offering price, where the Dealer Manager and/or Dealer agree to reduce or eliminate selling commissions and/or dealer manager fees, as applicable, generally or with respect to a particular investment to accommodate a prospective investor or Dealer.
No selling commissions or a dealer manager fee will be paid in connection with Shares sold under the DRIP.
Except as otherwise provided herein, all expenses incurred by Dealer in the performance of Dealer’s obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, expenses related to the Offering and any attorneys’
A-2
fees, shall be at Dealer’s sole cost and expense, and the foregoing shall apply notwithstanding the fact that the Offering is not consummated for any reason.
In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, reallow all or a portion of the dealer manager fee to a Dealer. The Dealer Manager will also reimburse bona fide due diligence expenses of a Dealer. Reimbursement requests for accountable bona fide due diligence expenses must be made by Dealer within six months of the date of sale of Shares or such requests will not be honored by the Dealer Manager.
The parties hereby agree that the foregoing commission is not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission received in the sale of securities similar to the Shares, that Dealer’s interest in the Offering is limited to such commission from the Dealer Manager and Dealer’s indemnity referred to in Section 6 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such commission to the Dealer.
V. Payment.
Payments of selling commissions will be made by the Dealer Manager to Dealer within 10 days of the receipt by the Dealer Manager of the gross commission payments from the Company. Dealer acknowledges that if the Company pays selling commissions to the Dealer Manager, the Company is relieved of any obligation for selling commissions to Dealer. The Company may rely on and use the preceding acknowledgment as a defense against any claim by Dealer for selling commissions the Company pays to Dealer Manager but that Dealer Manager fails to remit to Dealer.
VI. Covenants of Dealer.
Prior to participating in the Offering, Dealer will have reasonable grounds to believe, based on information made available to Dealer by the Dealer Manager and/or the Company through the Prospectus, that all material facts are adequately and accurately disclosed in the Prospectus and provide a basis for evaluating an investment in the Company and the Shares.
Dealer agrees not to rely upon the efforts of the Dealer Manager in determining whether the Company has adequately and accurately disclosed all material facts upon which to provide a basis for evaluating the Company to the extent required by federal or state laws, FINRA or the SEC. Dealer further agrees to conduct its own investigation to make that determination independent of the efforts of the Dealer Manager.
Dealer agrees to retain in its records and make available to the Dealer Manager and to the Company for a period of at least six (6) years following the termination of the Offering, information establishing that each investor who purchases the Shares solicited by Dealer is within the permitted class of investors under the requirements of the jurisdiction in which such purchaser is a resident and the suitability standards set forth in the Prospectus and the subscription agreement.
Dealer agrees that, prior to accepting a subscription for the Shares, it will inform the prospective investor of all pertinent facts relating to the illiquidity and lack of marketability of the Shares, as appropriate, during the term of the investment.
Dealer hereby undertakes and agrees to comply with all obligations applicable to Dealer under all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those set forth by FINRA. In soliciting persons to acquire the Shares, Dealer further agrees to comply with any applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other applicable federal securities laws, applicable state securities laws, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the rules of FINRA and, in particular, Dealer agrees that it will not give any information or make any representations other than those contained in the Prospectus and in any Authorized Sales Materials furnished to Dealer by the Dealer Manager for use in making such solicitations.
A-3
VII. Right to Reject Orders or Cancel Sales.
All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by and shall only become effective upon confirmation by the Company, which reserves the right to reject any order. Orders not accompanied by a signature page to the subscription agreement and the required check in payment for the Shares may be rejected. Issuance and delivery of the Shares will be made only after actual receipt of payment therefor. If any check is not paid upon presentment, or if the Company is not in actual receipt of clearinghouse funds or cash, certified or cashier’s check or the equivalent in payment for the Shares within 15 days of sale, the Company reserves the right to cancel the sale without notice. In the event an order is rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason, the Dealer agrees to return to the Dealer Manager any commission theretofor paid with respect to such order.
VIII. Prospectus and Supplemental Information.
Dealer is not authorized or permitted to give, and will not give, any information or make any representation concerning the Shares except as set forth in the Prospectus and the Supplemental Information. The Dealer Manager will supply Dealer with reasonable quantities of the Prospectus, as well as any Supplemental Information, for delivery to investors, and Dealer will deliver a copy of the Prospectus as required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the Rules and Regulations. The Dealer agrees that it will not send or give any Supplemental Information to an investor unless it has previously sent or given a Prospectus to that investor or has simultaneously sent or given a Prospectus with such Supplemental Information. Dealer agrees that it will not show or give to any investor or prospective Investor or reproduce any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Dealer Manager and marked “dealer only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public. Dealer agrees that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Shares any material or writing that relates to another company supplied to it by the Company or the Dealer Manager bearing a legend that states that such material may not be used in connection with the offer or sale of any securities of the Company. Dealer further agrees that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Shares any materials or writings that have not been previously approved by the Dealer Manager. Each Dealer agrees, if the Dealer Manager so requests, to furnish a copy of any revised Preliminary Prospectus to each person to whom it has furnished a copy of any previous Preliminary Prospectus, and further agrees that it will itself mail or otherwise deliver all preliminary and final Prospectuses required for compliance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Regardless of the termination of this Agreement, Dealer will deliver a Prospectus in transactions in the Shares for a period of 90 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement or such longer period as may be required by the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations thereunder.
IX. License and Association Membership.
Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Company and the Dealer Manager that Dealer is a broker-dealer properly registered with the SEC, duly authorized to sell Shares under federal and state securities laws and regulations and in all states where it offers or sells Shares, and that it is a member in good standing of FINRA. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if the Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of such association. Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately if Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing.
X. Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs.
Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Company and the Dealer Manager that Dealer has established and implemented anti-money laundering compliance programs in accordance with FINRA Rule 3011, Section 352 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act and Sections 103.19, 103.35, and 103.122 of the regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department, and is in compliance with all Executive Orders and Federal Regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Further, Dealer agrees, upon receipt of an “information request” issued under Section 314 (a) of the USA Patriot Act, to provide the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network with
A-4
information regarding: (i) the identity of a specified individual or organization; (ii) account number; (iii) all identifying information provided by the account holder; and (4) the date and type of transaction. The Dealer Manager from time to time will monitor account activity to identify patterns of unusual size or volume, geographic factors, and any other potential signals of suspicious activity, including possible money laundering or terrorist financing. The Company and the Dealer Manager reserve the right to reject account applications from new customers who fail to provide necessary account information or who intentionally provide misleading information.
