The Construction Supervision Fee will be paid monthly in arrears based on Capital Replacements made in such month.

ARTICLE III
PRIORITIES FOR DISTRIBUTION OF AGGREGATE GROSS REVENUES

3.01. Priorities for Distribution of Aggregate Gross Revenues. Aggregate Gross Revenues shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

(1) First, to pay Aggregate Facility Expenses (which shall not include the Aggregate Base Fee).

(2) Second, to Manager, to pay the Aggregate Base Fee and any interest that may have accrued pursuant to Section 3.02.

(3) Third, to TRSes, in an amount equal to the Aggregate TRS Priority Return.

(4) Fourth, to Manager, to reimburse it for payment of any Manager Shortfall Advance, plus applicable interest calculated at the Interest Rate, subject to Section 5.01.

(5) Fifth, of the balance, twenty percent (20%) to Manager and eighty percent (80%) to TRSes.

3.02. Timing of Payments. Payment of the Aggregate Facility Expenses, excluding the Aggregate Base Fee, shall be made in the ordinary course of business. The Aggregate Base Fee and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance, based upon Manager’s then estimate of the prior month’s Aggregate Gross Revenues. The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and accrued interest, if any, shall be paid on the first Business Day of each calendar month, in advance in approximately equal monthly installments, based upon Aggregate Invested Capital most recently reported to Manager by TRSes. The Aggregate Base Fee and Aggregate TRS Priority Return shall be subject to adjustment by increasing or decreasing the payment due in the following month based upon Aggregate Gross Revenues reflected in the Aggregate Monthly Financial Statements and increases or decreases in Aggregate Invested Capital reported to Manager by TRSes, as the case may be. If the Aggregate Base Fee is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate and such unpaid amount and accrued interest shall continue to be payable pursuant to clause (2) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years until paid in full. If the Aggregate TRS Priority Return is not paid in full for any calendar year, the unpaid amount shall not continue to be

3

payable pursuant to clause (3) of Section 3.01 in subsequent years, but shall continue to be due and bear interest at the Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 5.01. Amounts payable pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be paid on the last Business Day of the January following the end of each calendar year, in arrears, and shall be based upon the Aggregate Annual Statement for such calendar year. Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon any audits conducted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Management Agreements. The Aggregate TRS Priority Return and payments to TRSes pursuant to clause (5) of Section 3.01 shall be allocated among TRSes as TRSes shall determine in their sole discretion, and Manager shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

3.03. Relationship with Management Agreements. For as long as this Agreement is in effect with respect to a Facility, the provisions of Section 3.01 and 3.02 shall supersede Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of the Management Agreement then in effect for such Facility, and fees payable to Manager pursuant Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall be in lieu of the fees payable under the first sentence of Section 3.01 of the Management Agreements.

ARTICLE IV
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a) not later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, a consolidated balance sheet and related statement of income and expense of all of the Facilities for such calendar month and for the then current calendar year to date, certified by Manager’s Controller on a monthly basis and by Manager’s Chief Financial Officer on a quarterly basis as being true and correct to the best of his/her knowledge (“Aggregate Monthly Statement”).

(b) Manager shall also prepare and deliver such other statements or reports as any TRS may, from time to time, reasonably request.

4.02. Management Agreement Financial Statements. The financial statements delivered pursuant to this Article IV are in addition to any financial statements required to be prepared and delivered pursuant to the Management Agreements.

ARTICLE V
SHORTFALL

5.01. Shortfall. If in any of three (3) consecutive calendar years (commencing with calendar year 2017) the Aggregate TRS Priority Return has not been paid in full (the aggregate amount of such shortfall, the “Priority Return Shortfall”), by notice given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Aggregate Annual Statement for such third (3^rd) year, TRSes may terminate all, but not less than all, of the Management Agreements identified on Schedule C. Prior to exercising the right to terminate, TRSes shall give Manager notice and if within ten (10) days thereafter, Manager funds the Priority Return Shortfall together with interest accrued thereon at

4

the Interest Rate (a “Manager Shortfall Advance”), TRSes shall not exercise the right to terminate, provided Manager may not exercise its right to fund the Priority Return Shortfall more frequently than once every four (4) years. Manager may recover any amounts paid by it as a Manager Shortfall Advance as provided in Section 3.01, provided that amounts not recovered during the four (4) calendar years following the year in which payment of a Manager Shortfall Advance was made shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable in any subsequent year.

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS

All Working Capital and Gross Revenues of each of the Facilities may be pooled and deposited in one or more bank accounts in the name(s) of TRSes designated by Manager, which accounts may be commingled with accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Manager. Manager shall be authorized to access the accounts without the approval of TRSes, subject to any limitation on the maximum amount of any check, if any, established between Manager and TRSes as part of the Annual Operating Budgets. One or more TRSes shall be a signatory on all accounts maintained with respect to the Facilities, and TRSes shall have the right to require that one or more TRS signatures be required on all checks/withdrawals after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Manager under this Agreement. Each TRS shall provide such instructions to the applicable bank(s) as are necessary to permit Manager to implement Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The failure of any TRS to provide such instructions shall relieve Manager of its obligations hereunder until such time as such failure is cured.

ARTICLE VII
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF FACILITIES

7.01. Addition of Facilities. At any time and from time to time, any TRS or any Affiliate of a TRS (an “Additional TRS”) which enters into a management agreement with Manager (an “Additional Management Agreement”) for the operation of an additional senior living facility (an “Additional Facility”), may, with the consent of Manager and TRSes become a party to this Agreement with respect to such Additional Facility by signing an accession agreement confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Additional Facility. If an Additional Facility is made subject to this Agreement other than on the first day of a calendar month, the parties shall include such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Additional Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the Additional Facility became subject to this Agreement, and shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required. Except as set forth in this Section 7.01, the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses of the Additional Facility earned or incurred prior to the date that an Additional Facility was made subject to this Agreement will be excluded from Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses unless otherwise agreed by TRSes and Manager. Additionally, any amounts

held as Working Capital or for Capital Replacements at such Additional Facility shall be held by Manager under this Agreement.

7.02. Removal of Facilities. From and after the date of termination of any Management Agreement, the applicable Facility shall no longer be subject to this Agreement. If the termination occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of the Gross Revenues and Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Facility for such calendar month, as mutually agreed in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Facility Expenses (and such other amounts as may be necessary) for the calendar month in which the termination occurred. Additionally, the relevant TRS and Manager, both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to the portion of Working Capital and Aggregate Gross Revenues and any amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements allocable to the Facility being removed from this Agreement and the amount of Working Capital, Aggregate Gross Revenues and amounts being held by Manager for Capital Replacements, if any, so allocated shall be remitted to the relevant TRS and the relevant TRS and Manager shall make any other prorations, adjustments, allocations and changes as may be required.
