In the event of any emergency requiring prompt action for the protection and safety of the Community or the residents and staff therein, in which it is not practicable to obtain prior approval from the Tenant or a representative of the Tenant, Management Company shall be entitled to take any required or necessary action without Tenant’s prior approval, following which a report of the occasion for such action and the action taken shall be made to Tenant as soon as practicable. Approval by the Tenant may be evidenced by a written communication from an officer or authorized representative of the Tenant.

Tenant shall approve or disapprove of the proposed Operating Budget and Capital Budget in writing to Management Company, detailing the basis for disapproval, within thirty (30) days after receipt. If Tenant does not approve or disapprove of the proposed Operating Budget or Capital Budget within such thirty (30) day period then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Operating Budget or Capital Budget, as applicable. If Tenant disapproves the Operating Budget or Capital Budget, Management Company will resubmit the Operating Budget or Capital Budget within fifteen (15) days after initial rejection. Tenant shall approve or disapprove any such resubmitted Operating Budget or Capital Budget within fifteen (15) days of its receipt thereof. The Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any budget submitted by the Management Company. The Operating Budget and the Capital Budget as so finally approved by Tenant shall constitute the “Approved Operating Budget” and the “Approved Capital Budget”, respectively, for purposes hereof. The Approved Operating Budget and the Approved Capital Budget shall be known collectively as the “Budget” for purposes hereof. Should the budgeting process be delayed for any reason, until such delay is resolved Management Company will operate the Community under the prior fiscal year’s Budget adjusted for the change in the Consumer Price Index from the year, and adjusting for occupancy changes on a per resident day basis.
An Approved Operating Budget shall constitute authorization for Management Company to expend funds to operate and manage the Community pursuant to such Approved Operating Budget, and Management Company may do so without further approval. Management Company shall use its best efforts to adhere to the Approved Operating Budget providing, however, that Management Company may exceed the Approved Operating Budget for any given month provided the excess expenditure does not exceed the greater of 10% or $10,000 for each operating expense functional line item of the Approved Operating Budget provided that aggregate Operating Expenses shall not exceed the total amount therefore set forth in the Operating Budget without Tenant approval.
If at any time circumstances indicate that the Approved Operating Budget does not properly take into account the projected needs of the Community, Management Company shall notify Tenant of the same and shall submit to Tenant a proposed revision to the Approved Operating Budget which Tenant shall approve or disapprove within thirty (30) days after submission. If the proposed revision is disapproved by Tenant, Tenant and Management Company shall endeavor to agree on a revised Approved Operating Budget.
- 16 -
Once and if approved, Management Company’s authority as to any revised Approved Operating Budget is the same as that authorized for the original Approved Operating Budget.

Any major capital improvement, addition, or replacement wherein the estimated cost exceeds $10,000 or involves more than one contractor with whom Tenant directly contracts will require construction planning and supervision. The Tenant may identify and, with Tenant’s prior approval, contract with an independent consultant to provide such construction planning and supervision of any such major capital improvement project or addition, or the Tenant may authorize the Management Company to provide these services on reasonable terms mutually agreed to in advance by Tenant and Management Company.

Each Fiscal Year’s calculation shall stand alone and not accrue or accumulate from year to year. In no event shall Subordinated Base Management Fee be paid from sources other than cash flow resulting from Adjusted NOI above the Subordination Threshold.

| (b) | assignment for the benefit of creditors of the assets of Tenant, except Management Company shall agree to enter into any agreements which may be required on behalf of the Mortgagee in order for the Landlord to obtain financing, so long as the Management Fees and other amounts due to Management Company set forth herein are not materially affected; |

7.3 Performance Termination. Commencing with the Stabilization Date, in the event that the sum of Adjusted NOI plus the Subordinated Base Management Fee during any Stabilization Year does not equal or exceed the Performance Termination Threshold, then the Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by providing a ninety (90) day written notice to the Management Company. Commencing with respect to with the third (3rd) Stabilization Year, Management Company shall deliver special annual reports in the same form as those contemplated in Section 2.6(b) within seventy five (75) days following the end of each Stabilization Year, setting forth the Adjusted NOI plus subordinated Base Management Fee achieved by the Community during such Stabilization Year. To terminate this Agreement, Tenant must deliver written notice of such election to Management Company no later than sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of the reports described in the previous sentence. In such event, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any fee or penalty as a result of such termination. Management Company shall have the right to avoid termination pursuant to this Section 7.3 by delivering Tenant the amount by which the Performance Termination Threshold exceeded the sum of Adjusted NOI plus the Subordinated Base Management Fee no later then ten (10) days following Management Company’s delivery of the annual reports required pursuant to Section 7.3; provided, however, Management Company shall only have the right to cure up to three (3) such shortfalls during the Term.
7.4 Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any of the reasons set forth in Section 7.1(f)or in Section 7.2(e) above, if: the event is caused by strikes, other labor disturbances, fires, windstorm, earthquake, arbitrary and capricious action by third party payors, war or other state of national emergency, terrorism, or acts of God, in which the negligence of the party seeking to avoid termination is not a materially contributing factor to the occurrence of such event. At any time following the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Commencement Date through the remainder of the Term, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Management Company and payment to the Management Company, upon the effective date of such termination, of an amount equal to the average of the Management Fees (after deducting any Subordinated Base Management Fee) for the prior three (3) months multiplied by thirty six (36).
- 30 -
7.5 Either party has the option to terminate this Agreement without payment of fee or penalty upon 30 days prior written notice to the other upon the occurrence of either of the following events:
| (a) | The Community or any material portion thereof is damaged or destroyed to the extent that in the written opinion of an independent architect or engineer reasonably acceptable to both parties: (1) it is not practicable or desirable to rebuild, repair or restore the Community to its condition immediately preceding such damage within a period of six months; or (2) the conduct of normal operations of the Community is interrupted for a period of six months or more; or |
| (b) | Title to the temporary use of all or substantially all of the Community is taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain by the government authority or person, firm or corporation acting under governmental authority which in the opinion of an independent architect or engineer reasonably acceptable to both parties, prevents or is likely to prevent the conduct of normal operations at the Community for a period of at least six months. |
| (c) | If the termination occurs as a result of any of the events described in clause (a) of this Section 7.5, and if Tenant or any Affiliate thereof rebuilds, restores or otherwise rearranges the Community and recommences operations thereof, Tenant shall give Management Company the first option to manage the Community under the same terms, conditions and fees as provided herein. |
7.6 Tenant has the option to terminate this Agreement subject to the rights of the Management Company herein upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Management Company in the event Lender requires such termination pursuant to the terms and provisions of any indebtedness with the Lender, without any further obligation to the Management Company (except for any accrued management fees for previous periods which have not been paid due to the subordination provisions set forth above).
7.7 Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Agreement subject to the rights of the Management Company herein upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Management Company in the event the Development Agreement is terminated prior to the Commencement Date; provided that Tenant delivers such written notice to Management Company no later than sixty (60) days following the termination of the Development Agreement.

| (a) | deliver to Tenant, or such other person or persons designated by Tenant, copies of all books and records of the Community and all funds in the possession of Management Company belonging to Tenant or received by Management Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Basic Documents for or on behalf of Tenant; |
- 31 -

8.3 Additional Covenants of Management Company. Management Company hereby makes the additional covenants set forth in this Section, which are material covenants and upon which Tenant relies as an inducement to enter into this Agreement:
| (a) | Assignment. Management Company may not assign its rights and obligations hereunder without Tenant’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld as more particularly set forth in this paragraph. For purposes of this Section 8.3(a), a change in fifty percent (50%) or more in the ownership or control, whether direct or indirect, of Management Company shall be deemed to be an effective assignment of this Agreement requiring Tenant’s prior approval. Tenant may withhold its consent to such an assignment or change in the ownership or control of Management Company in the event that the proposed transferee does not meet the following criteria: (a) such transferee has the financial capacity that equals or exceeds that which Management Company has as of the date of this Agreement; (b) such transferee is known to be of good character and in good standing in its current business dealings; (c) such transferee is experienced in the senior living facility industry; and (d) has all appropriate licenses and industry approvals to operate a senior living facility. For purposes of clarification Section 8.3(a), it shall not be deemed unreasonable for Tenant to withhold consent to any such transfer |
- 33 -
| if the proposed transferee lacks, in Tenant’s reasonable opinion, (x) the financial wherewithal, (y) the character (which determination may be made, in whole or in part, based on Tenant’s or its Affiliate’s past dealings with the intended transferee), or (z) the quality and relevant experience necessary to satisfy the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Any proposed transferee shall be required to provide adequate assurances to Tenant: (l) that Revenues shall not decline substantially after the date of such transfer; (m) of the continuous operation of the Community in strict accordance with the requirements this Agreement; and (n) of such other matters as Tenant may reasonably require at the time of such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any change in ownership or control that directly results from the death of any person with a controlling interest in Management Company shall not be subject to this Section 8.3 provided that the individuals managing the day-to-day operations at the Community remain substantially the same following the transfer of ownership or control and the new controlling person or owner satisfies the criteria stated in items (x), (y), and (z) of this Section 8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Management Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Tenant in the event that there is any change in the ownership of Management Company, whether direct or indirect, regardless of whether such change constitutes a change of more than fifty percent (50%) of the direct or indirect ownership of Management Company, which notice shall be delivered no later than five (5) Business Days following the effectuation of any such change. Management Company shall also provide Tenant with an updated organizational chart showing the direct and indirect ownership interests in and to Management Company that is true, complete and correct within five (5) days of receipt of Tenant’s written request therefore. |
| (b) | Tenant Assignment. Management Company acknowledges and agrees that Tenant may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without prior approval of Management Company. |
| (c) | Transfer of Residents. Management Company agrees that it will not, as long as it manages for Tenant under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Tenant, encourage or solicit the transfer of any resident of the Community to another Community in which Management Company has an interest which is not owned by Tenant, unless the physical or medical condition of the resident indicates that such a transfer would be appropriate and Tenant is informed in advance thereof. The Management Company may, however, freely discuss and not inhibit such a transfer when the original basis for the subject resident to be admitted to the Tenant’s Community was to acquire temporary accommodations until a room became available in another Community where the resident prefers to live. |
- 34 -
| (d) | Non-Compete. Management Company hereby covenants and agrees that, for a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending two (2) years following the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Management Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates to (each, a “Covered Person”), engage directly or indirectly, in any capacity, in any activities that Compete with the business of developing, owning, operating, leasing or managing a senior living facility within five (5) driving miles of the Community. For purposes of this provision, “Compete” means (i) to, directly or indirectly, conduct, facilitate, participate or engage in, or bid for or otherwise pursue a business, whether as a principal, sole proprietor, partner, stockholder, or agent of, or consultant to or manager for, any Person or in any other capacity, or (ii) to, directly or indirectly, have any ownership interest in any Person or business which conducts, facilitates, participates or engages in, or bids for or otherwise pursues a business, whether as a principal, sole proprietor, partner, stockholder, or agent of, or consultant to or manager for, any such Person or in any other capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(d) shall not apply to or in any way prohibit or restrict any existing ownership interests or operations of a Covered Person as of the Effective Date. The parties recognize and acknowledge that a breach of this Section 8.3(d) by Management Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will cause irreparable and material loss and damage to Tenant and hereby consent to the granting by any court of competent jurisdiction of an injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash or otherwise, and without the necessity of actual monetary loss being proved or Tenant’s establishing the inadequacy of any remedy at law, and order that the breach or threatened breach of such provisions may be effectively restrained. The provisions of this Section 8.3(d) shall expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. This provision, however, shall not apply following any termination of this Agreement arising out of Section 7.2 or Section 7.4. |
| (e) | Non-Solicitation». Management Company agrees not to directly or indirectly solicit, divert or accept business from any customer, supplier, distributor or manufacturer of or to Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant to the detriment of Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant, or otherwise interfere with the relationship between Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant and any customer, supplier, distributor or manufacturer of or to Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant to the detriment of Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant. The parties recognize and acknowledge that a breach of this Section 8.3(e) by Management Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will cause irreparable and material loss and damage to Tenant and hereby consent to the granting by any court of competent jurisdiction of an injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash or otherwise, and without the necessity of actual monetary loss |
- 35 -
| being proved or Tenant’s establishing the inadequacy of any remedy at law, and order that the breach or threatened breach of such provisions may be effectively restrained. The provisions of and obligations under this Section 8.3(e) shall apply throughout the Term and shall expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years following such expiration or earlier termination. This provision, however, shall not apply following any termination of this Agreement arising out of Section 7.2 or Section 7.4. |
| (f) | Management Company shall establish and maintain records and procedures to account for any resident funds deposited with the Community. One or more “Resident Trust Accounts” shall be established in accordance with the terms hereof and all disbursements there from and records and procedures relating thereto shall conform with the requirements of third party reimbursement, licensure and all other applicable requirements and the terms hereof. |
| (g) | Management Company shall maintain adequate systems and procedures governed by written policies and procedures covering all aspects of its operational and fiscal processes and sufficient to ensure that the Community’s assets and business are safeguarded in all material respects. |
8.4 Additional Covenants of Tenant. Tenant hereby makes the additional covenants set forth in this Section, which are material covenants and upon which Management Company relies as an inducement to enter into this Agreement:
| (a) | Tenant will cooperate with Management Company in every reasonable respect and will furnish Management Company with all information required by it for the performance of its services hereunder and will permit Management Company to examine and copy any data in the possession or control of Tenant affecting Management Company and/or operation of the Community and will in every way cooperate with Management Company to enable Management Company to perform its services hereunder. |
| (b) | Tenant will examine documents submitted by Management Company and render decisions pertaining thereto, when required, promptly to avoid unreasonable delay in the progress of Management Company’s work.

- 36 -
| Management Company in the performance of its services hereunder (other than any trademarks, trade names or other intellectual property acquired by Tenant or Landlord in connection with the acquisition of the Community), and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a license or transfer of such information either during the Term or thereafter. Upon termination of this Agreement all such proprietary systems manuals, materials and other information in whatever form shall be removed from the Community. |
8.5 Binding Agreement. The terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns.
