CALCULATION OF INTEREST AMOUNT

Section 2.01 Calculation of Interest Amount.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, at 10:15 a.m. (Toronto time) on each adjustment date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Issuer or an agent designated by the Issuer will determine the Reference Rate Index and calculate the rate of interest and amount of interest payable (such amount, the “Interest Amount”) for the applicable Interest Period in respect of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding. Should the Reference Rate Index not appear on the Bloomberg Screen CDOR Page as contemplated on a particular adjustment date, the Issuer or an agent designated by the Issuer is required to calculate the rate by determining the arithmetic mean of certain rates as quoted by four chartered banks listed on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada). The Issuer or an agent designated by the Issuer shall also, to the extent required, obtain such further quotations and make such further determinations or calculations, as may be required under this Sixth Supplemental Indenture. The Issuer shall cause the rate of interest and the Interest Amount for each Interest Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date and such other determinations and calculations made hereunder to be provided to the Trustee as soon as practicable after its or its agent’s determination or calculation and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the calculation provided by the Issuer or its agent.

(b) The determination of each rate of interest and Interest Amount, the obtaining of each quote and the making of each determination or calculation by the Issuer or an agent designated by the Issuer shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

Section 4.08 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Each of Ventas, Inc. and the Issuer covenants (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and each of Ventas, Inc. and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.09 Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.

(a) Ventas, Inc. shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such additional Debt and any other Debt Incurred since the end of the Latest Completed Quarter and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt would exceed 60% of the sum of (without duplication) (i) Total Assets as of the end of the Latest Completed Quarter and (ii) the purchase price of any Real Estate Assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire Real Estate Assets or mortgages receivable or to reduce Debt), since the end of the Latest Completed Quarter.

(b) Ventas, Inc. shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Secured Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and any other Secured Debt Incurred since the end of the Latest Completed Quarter and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt would exceed 50% of the sum of (without duplication) (i) Total Assets as of the end of the Latest Completed Quarter and (ii) the purchase price of any Real Estate Assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire Real Estate Assets or mortgages receivable or to reduce Debt), since the end of the Latest Completed Quarter.

(c) Ventas, Inc. shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such additional Debt and any other Debt Incurred since the end of the Latest Completed Quarter and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Interest Expense for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the Latest Completed Quarter would be less than 1.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis and calculated on the assumption (without duplication) that:

(i) the additional Debt and any other Debt Incurred by Ventas, Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period to the date of determination, which was outstanding at the date of determination, had been Incurred at the beginning of that period and continued to be outstanding throughout that period, and the application of the net proceeds of such Debt, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such period; provided, that in determining the amount of Debt so Incurred, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period;

(ii) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt repaid or retired by Ventas, Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period to the date of determination had occurred at the beginning of that period; provided, that in determining the amount of Debt so repaid or retired, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period; and

(iii) in the case of any acquisition or disposition of any asset or group of assets (including, without limitation, by merger, or stock or asset purchase or sale) or the placement of any assets in service or removal of any assets from service by Ventas, Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period to the date of determination, the acquisition, disposition, placement in service or removal from service and any related repayment or refinancing of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period, with the appropriate adjustments to Consolidated EBITDA and Interest Expense with respect to the acquisition, disposition, placement in service or removal from service being included in that pro forma calculation.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Unencumbered Assets. Ventas, Inc. and its Subsidiaries shall maintain at all times Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Unsecured Debt.”

The obligations of the Guarantor under the Indenture shall terminate at such time the Guarantor merges, amalgamates or consolidates with the Issuer or at such other time as the Issuer acquires all of the assets and partnership interests of the Guarantor.”

Such default is not an Event of Default if the other indebtedness is discharged, or the acceleration is rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days after the Issuer, Ventas, Inc. or any such Significant Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives notice specifying the default and requiring that they discharge the other indebtedness or cause the acceleration to be rescinded or annulled. Either the Trustee or the Holders of more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may send the notice, with a copy to the Trustee if the Holders send the notice;

Ventas Canada Finance Limited (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note during each Interest Period at the Reference Rate Index plus 0.54% per annum, and will be payable in arrears on the 12^th day of February, May, August and November in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing on February 12, 2020, provided that in each case if such date is not a Business Day then the relevant Interest Payment Date shall be the next following Business Day unless such day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the relevant Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day, provided, that if the Reference Rate Index does not appear on the Bloomberg Screen CDOR Page as contemplated on a particular adjustment date, then the rate applicable for the Interest Period commencing on such adjustment date shall be calculated by the Issuer or an agent designated by the Issuer as the arithmetic mean of the rates applicable to Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a face amount comparable to the principal amount of this Note with a term of three months quoted by four chartered banks listed on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada) at 10:15 a.m. (Toronto time) on the applicable adjustment date, provided that if fewer than four of such banks quote the aforementioned rate on the applicable adjustment date and at the time described above, the rate for the Interest Period shall be the average of the rates of the banks so quoting on the adjustment date or the rate so quoted by a single bank if only one such bank quotes the aforementioned rate, and such interest is to be payable after as well as before maturity and after as well as before default and judgment. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; the Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. The rate of interest applicable to the Note will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year. Whenever interest is computed on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing such product by the number of days in the deemed year.

(2) Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 (each, a “Record Date”) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or

A-4

before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within or without the City of Toronto, Ontario, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by cheque mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided, that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all Notes represented by a Global Security and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of Canada as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an indenture, dated as of September 24, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 12, 2019 (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and as the Base Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture may be further amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantor named therein and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights of the Holders of the Notes, of the Issuer, of the Guarantor and of the Trustee and of the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth, to all of which provisions the Holder, by acceptance hereof, assents. In the event that there is any inconsistency between the provisions of the Indenture and the provisions hereof, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer.

(5) Redemption. The Notes will not be subject to redemption and will not be subject to prepayment at the option of any holder thereof.

(8) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of Cdn$1,000 and integral multiples of Cdn$1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.

(10) Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Securities Guarantee or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities affected by such amendment or supplemental indenture voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Securities Guarantee or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities affected thereby voting as a single class.

(11) Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default with respect to the Notes include: (i) default in the payment of principal or any premium on the Notes when due and payable; (ii) default in the payment of interest on the Notes within 30 days after the applicable due date; (iii) breach of any other term of the Indenture for 90 days after receipt of a notice of Default stating Ventas, Inc. or its Subsidiaries is in breach; (iv) default under certain third party indebtedness of any of the Issuer, Ventas, Inc. or its Significant Subsidiaries, which default results in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness, unless such other indebtedness is discharged, or the acceleration is rescinded or annulled, within 30 days after the Issuer, Ventas, Inc. or its Significant Subsidiaries, as applicable, receive notice of the default; and (v) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur with respect to the Issuer, Ventas, Inc. or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare the entire principal amount of the Notes to be due and payable; provided, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with any of the provisions of Section 4.03 of the Indenture shall consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms set forth in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all Outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. Subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in

A-6

aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes. The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture.

(12) Trustee Dealings with Issuer. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

(13) No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee or stockholder of Ventas, Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of Ventas, Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries under the Notes or the Indenture based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The foregoing waiver and release are an integral part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
