Re: First Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Lease and Security Agreement and Option Exercise Notice

Dear Sir or Madam:

Reference is made to that certain Xxxxxxx and Restated Master Lease and Security Agreement (the “NNN Lease”), dated as of August 29, 2014, by and among the Lessors identified therein (“Lessors”), and Emeritus Corporation, Summerville at Xxxxx Creek, LLC, and Summerville at Prince Xxxxxxx, Inc., as Lessees (each, a “Lessee”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the NNN Lease.

Pursuant to Section 31.4 of the NNN Lease, each Lessee has been granted a purchase option with respect to certain Facilities identified on Schedule 31.4 to the NNN Lease. The parties hereto agree that this letter (this “Notice and Amendment”) shall serve as the Option Exercise Notice as described in Section 31.4.1 of the NNN Lease.

The parties hereto hereby agree that the NNN Lease shall be amended hereby to delete Schedule 31.4 and to insert in lieu thereof Schedule 1 attached hereto (as so amended, “Modified Schedule 31.4”). In accordance with the terms of Section 31.4, the Lessees hereby notify you that (i) the Lessees have opened escrow with First American Title Company (“Escrow Agent”) by delivery of this letter, together with a copy of the NNN Lease, on December 30, 2014 and (ii) the Lessees hereby exercise their respective rights to acquire each of the nine (9) Facilities set forth on Modified Schedule 31.4 for an aggregate purchase price equal to $60,000,000. The allocated purchase price and attendant rent reduction for each such Facility is set forth on Modified Schedule 31.4. Lessors shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, reallocate any rent currently allocated to the Facilities and not reduced pursuant to Modified Schedule 31.4 to the remaining Facilities in the NNN Lease, and shall notify Lessees of such reallocation in writing. The parties hereto agree that the real property and FF&E allocations for each Facility shall be as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto.

The parties hereto agree that, provided no Event of Default arising as a result of the failure to pay Minimum Rent has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the consummation of the acquisition of the Facilities set forth on Modified Schedule 31.4 by the Lessees (or by any designee, at such Xxxxxx’s written direction) shall occur, with respect to each such Facility, by release of the purchase price and transfer documents from escrow on December 31, 2014, with effect as of January 1, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all required regulatory approvals for any such Facility shall not have been obtained prior to December 31, 2014, the Lessees shall give notice thereof to Lessors prior to December 31, 2014, and the consummation of the acquisition

of such Facility by the applicable Lessee (or its designee) shall occur on any date specified in a later notice given by the Lessees to Lessor not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such specified date, provided, however, that the consummation of the acquisition of such Facility shall in any event occur prior to the expiration of the NNN Lease term, including any applicable extensions thereto, and if the consummation of the acquisition of such Facility does not occur by such date, the option for such facility referenced in this letter shall be deemed terminated. The parties hereto agree that Section 31.4.4 of the NNN Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety.

As required by Section 31.4 of the NNN Lease, attached hereto as Exhibit A is a Reaffirmation of the Guaranty.

As amended by this Notice and Amendment, the terms and provisions of the NNN Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. The parties hereto acknowledge, agree and reaffirm that (i) except as otherwise expressly provided in the NNN Lease (as hereby amended) to the contrary and for the limited purposes so provided, the NNN Lease (as hereby amended) is and the parties intend the same for all purposes to be treated as a single, integrated and indivisible agreement and economic unit, and (ii) except as otherwise required by Legal Requirements or any accounting rules or regulations, the NNN Lease (as hereby amended) shall be treated as an operating lease for all purposes and not as a synthetic lease, financing lease or loan, and Lessors shall be entitled to all the benefits of ownership of the Leased Property, including depreciation for all federal, state and local tax purposes.
