2.2 Consents Relating to Contributed Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement does not constitute an agreement to contribute, convey, transfer, assign and deliver any interest in any Contributed Asset, or any claim, right, benefit or obligation arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if a contribution, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery, or an attempt to make such a contribution, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery, without the Consent of a Third Party would (i) constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such Third Party, (ii) be ineffective with respect to any party to a Contract concerning such Contributed Asset, (iii) upon transfer, in any way adversely affect the rights of NewCo under such Contributed Asset, as applicable, or (iv) conflict with or violate any applicable Law. If the contribution, conveyance, transfer, assumption, assignment or delivery of the Contributed Assets or of the NewCo Interests, or of any Liability under the same, requires the Consent of a Third Party, then such contribution, conveyance, transfer, assumption, assignment or delivery shall be subject to such Consent being obtained. Without limiting Section 2.2(b), if any Contributed Asset may not be assigned to HoldCo or NewCo or the NewCo Interests may not be assigned to GAHR III OP, respectively, by reason of the absence of any such Consent, NewCo shall not be required to assume any Assumed Liability arising under such Contributed Asset, as applicable.

(b) If any Consent in respect of a Contributed Asset has not been obtained on or before the Sponsor to HoldCo Pre-Closing Contributions or the HoldCo to NewCo Pre-Closing Contributions, as applicable, each Sponsor and its Affiliates shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Consent as promptly as practicable after the Sponsor to HoldCo Pre-Closing Contributions or the HoldCo to NewCo Pre-Closing Contributions, as applicable, until such time as such Consent has been obtained, and to cooperate in any lawful and reasonable arrangement following the Closing, which arrangement shall provide NewCo and GAHR III the benefits and burdens of any such Contributed Asset, including subcontracting, licensing or sublicensing to NewCo and/or GAHR III any or all of such Sponsor’s or its Affiliates’ rights with respect to such Contributed Asset and including the enforcement for the benefit of NewCo and GAHR III of any and all rights of such Sponsor or its Affiliates, as applicable, against a Third Party thereunder. Once a Consent for the contribution, conveyance, transfer, assumption, assignment and delivery of a Contributed Asset is obtained, each of the Sponsors shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, as applicable, promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Contributed Asset to NewCo, as applicable, and NewCo shall assume the obligations under such Contributed Asset assigned to it from and after the date of assignment to NewCo. If and when such Consents are obtained or such other required actions have been taken, the transfer of such Contributed Asset shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

20

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed a waiver by NewCo, GAHR III or GAHR III OP of their rights under this Agreement, nor shall this Section 2.2 be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Contributed Assets any of the Assets described under Section 2.1(b).

SECTION 3. CLOSING CONTRIBUTION

(b) On or prior to the day that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) shall prepare and deliver to the Sponsors a certificate (the “Post-Closing Statement”) providing (i) unaudited consolidated balance sheets of NewCo and its Subsidiaries as of the Calculation Time, prepared in accordance with GAAP and without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Actual Closing Balance Sheets”), (ii) GAHR III’s calculation, based on the Actual Closing Balance Sheets and in accordance with GAAP, of each of the following as of the Calculation Time: (1) Working Capital (“Actual Closing Date Working Capital”), (2) Closing Date Cash (“Actual Closing Date Cash”), (3) any Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness (“Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness”) and (4) any Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses (“Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses”), and (iii) the re-calculation of the Closing Date Value and the components thereof (using Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses in lieu of the estimates therefor set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement).

If the Sponsor Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, the Post-Closing Statement as issued by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), including any amounts, determinations and calculations contained therein, shall be conclusive and binding upon GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsors, and shall constitute the final determination of Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Unpaid Date Transaction Expenses. Any amount, determination or calculation contained in a timely-delivered Post-Closing Statement and not specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsors.

(d) If an Objection Notice is timely delivered by the Sponsor Representative, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve each dispute raised therein (each, an “Objection”, and any Objections actually resolved by mutual agreement of GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative, the “Agreed Adjustments”) for a period of thirty (30) days following GAHR III’s (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) receipt of such Objection Notice. In the event that GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative fail to agree on any of the Sponsor Representative’s proposed adjustments set forth in the Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period notwithstanding such good faith negotiation, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative (on behalf of the Sponsors) shall jointly engage an Accounting Firm to render a decision as to any Objections still in dispute (acting as an expert and not an arbitrator) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as soon as practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days after the engagement of the Accounting Firm).

The Accounting Firm shall render its written decision as to each Objection specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice (which did not subsequently become an Agreed Adjustment), including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. In rendering its decision as to any such Objections still in dispute, the Accounting Firm shall only address the Objections specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice (which did not subsequently become an Agreed Adjustment), and the Accounting Firm may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for any such item assigned by GAHR III, on the one hand,

22

or the Sponsor Representative, on the other hand, or less than the lowest value for any such item assigned by GAHR III, on the one hand, or the Sponsor Representative, on the other hand. All Objections that are resolved between GAHR III and the Sponsor Representative or are determined by the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and each of their Affiliates, successors and assigns, absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Sponsor Representative (on behalf of the Sponsors), on the one hand, and by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount contested but not awarded to it bears to the aggregate amount contested by it.

(e) The Post-Closing Statement (including the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount) shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 3.2 upon the earlier of (i) the failure of the Sponsor Representative to issue an Objection Notice to GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) within thirty (30) days of the Sponsor Representative’s receipt thereof, (ii) the resolution of all Objections pursuant to Section 3.2(d) by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative (i.e., as Agreed Adjustments) and (iii) the resolution of all Objections still in dispute pursuant to Section 3.2(d) by the Accounting Firm (which, absent manifest error, shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover). Following the final determination of the Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses, the Closing Date Value and the components thereof shall be re-calculated (using Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses, as finally determined, in lieu of the estimates therefor set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement). The amount by which the Closing Date Value as so re-calculated varies from the Closing Date Value paid at Closing is the “Final Adjustment Amount”, and the Closing Date Value as so re-calculated is the “Final Closing Date Value”.

(f) Upon the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount:

(i) If the Final Closing Date Value exceeds the Closing Date Value at the Closing, then GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) shall pay an amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds equal to such excess to HoldCo within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Adjustment Amount is finally determined. .

(ii) If the Final Closing Date Value is less than the Closing Date Value at the Closing, then the Sponsors, jointly and severally, shall pay, or cause to be paid, an amount in cash equal to such deficiency to GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Adjustment Amount is finally determined.

Subject to Sections 3.4(c), 3.4(d), 3.4(h), 3.4(i) and 11.7 and the following proviso, at the end of the Earnout Period, GAHR III shall pay to AHI an amount in cash equal to (i) 35.0% multiplied by the sum of (A) the Fund Management Fees, plus (B) the Fund Carried Interest, minus (C) Fund Costs, minus (D) the Acquisition and Disposition Fee Shortfall (the amount to be paid under this Section 3.4(b), including any advances thereon in the form of Current Fee Participation Payments, the “Earnout Consideration”); provided, however, that at such time as both of the conditions in clauses (x) and (y) of the definition of Current Fee Participation Amount have occurred, then AHI shall thereupon receive an advance (in cash) against any Earnout Consideration in an amount equal to the then calculated Current Fee Participation Amount, which amount GAHR III shall pay quarterly through the end of the Earnout Period for so long as such conditions remain satisfied (which advanced Current Fee Participation Amount will reduce any Earnout Consideration payable at the end of the Earnout Period); provided further, however, that if the finally determined Earnout Consideration (if any) is less (including as a result of any failure to vest or cessation of vesting as set forth in Section 3.4(c)) than the Current Fee Participation Amounts (if any) previously paid by GAHR III to AHI, then AHI shall (and shall cause any of its distributees of any Current Fee Participation Amounts to) refund in cash the amount of such excess to GAHR III (the “Earnout Clawback”). Each of the AHI Principals and Flaherty Trust acknowledge and agree to guarantee the performance by AHI of AHI’s obligations in the previous sentence; provided that none of the AHI Principals or Flaherty Trust shall be required to pay any amount for the Earnout Clawback that exceeds the value of (x) its Applicable Earnout Percentage multiplied by (y) the amount of the Earnout Clawback that AHI has failed to so refund; and provided further that in no event shall any of the AHI Principals or Flaherty Trust be liable for an amount in excess of the aggregate Current Fee Participation Amounts actually distributed to it.

(c) Vesting Requirements; Cessation of Vesting. Notwithstanding Section 3.4(b), the right of AHI to receive the Earnout Consideration shall only vest (i.e., AHI shall only then have a vested right in it, but subject to cessation of vesting as set forth in this Section 3.4(c)) as follows: (i) one-third of the Earnout Consideration shall vest on the first limited-partner capital call date of the Sponsored Investment Fund (the “First Minimum Funding Date”), (ii) one-third of the Earnout Consideration shall vest on the date that is 18 months after the First Minimum Funding Date, and (iii) one-third shall vest on the date that is three years after the First Minimum Funding Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting requirements of this Section 3.4(c) shall not be deemed satisfied (at all or in part) until the Sponsored Investment Fund has received at least $100,000,000 in funded limited-partner commitments, and provided further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all vesting pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall immediately cease (and all of AHI’s interest in any unvested portion of the Earnout Consideration shall be thereupon forfeited) in the event that any two or more AHI Principals cease to be employed by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) (except that (x) a termination of their employment without Cause by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), (y) their resignation for Good Reason from GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and (z) their termination of employment as a result of their death or permanent Disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) shall not constitute a cessation of employment under this Section 3.4(c)).

26

(d) Fair Market Value. In the event the Earnout Period ends pursuant to clause (B) of its definition, then the Earnout Consideration shall be calculated using the then fair market value of the Sponsored Investment Fund, considering for such purpose as if all the assets of the Sponsored Investment Fund had been sold at their then fair market value and as if all components within the calculation of the Earnout Consideration were also calculated using that fair market value (as applicable) and less any other Fund Costs reasonably determined by GAHR III at that time. For purposes of this Section 3.4, fair market value of the Sponsored Investment Fund’s assets shall be as reasonably agreed between GAHR III and AHI. In the event such parties are unable to reach an agreement thereon, they shall jointly engage an independent, national real estate valuation firm, which shall be directed to determine the fair market value of the Sponsored Investment Fund’s assets in their totality, taking into account any premium ascribed to asset portfolios of similar size and quality as determined by such valuation firm, which fair market value shall then by used by GAHR III and AHI for purposes of calculating the Earnout Consideration.

(e) Contingent Consideration Statements. Promptly following (but within 60 days after) the end of the Earnout Period, GAHR III will, under the direction of its then independent and disinterested members of the GAHR III Board (the “Independent Directors”), prepare a statement setting forth the calculation of the Earnout Consideration for AHI’s review, together with supporting detail from which that statement has been prepared (the “Earnout Consideration Statement”).

(f) Access to Information. GAHR III shall cooperate with AHI in good faith to assist AHI in its review of the Earnout Consideration Statement and shall make appropriate information and personnel of GAHR III reasonably available to AHI, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate personnel and advisors of GAHR III available to AHI, to discuss and answer questions with respect to the Earnout Consideration Statement. During the period within 30 Business Days of receipt of such Earnout Consideration Statement by AHI (the “Dispute Period”), AHI may dispute all or a portion of the relevant Earnout Consideration Statement by giving a notice of disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) relating to such Earnout Consideration Statement to GAHR III setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any such disagreement relating to such Earnout Consideration Statement. The parties shall promptly commence good faith negotiations with a view to resolving all such disagreements. If AHI does not provide a Notice of Disagreement relating to an Earnout Consideration Statement to GAHR III within the Dispute Period, then AHI shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted such Earnout Consideration Statement in the form delivered to it by GAHR III. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4(f) to the contrary, at AHI’s election, AHI may provide a written notice to GAHR III at any time during the Dispute Period that it has accepted such Earnout Consideration Statement delivered to it by GAHR III, and such acceptance shall be deemed a “final determination” for purposes of this Section 3.4.

27

(g) Disagreements. Other than as set forth in Section 3.4(d), if AHI delivers a Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 3.4(f) and AHI and GAHR III are unable to resolve all disagreements within 20 Business Days following the delivery of such Notice of Disagreement, such disagreement shall thereafter be referred to the Accounting Firm for a resolution of such disagreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. AHI and GAHR III shall each be party to the engagement letter entered into with the Accounting Firm. If any remaining issues in dispute are submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution, each of AHI and GAHR III will be afforded an opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such matters with the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to calculate, based solely on the written submissions of GAHR III, on the one hand, and AHI, on the other, and not by independent investigation, the applicable Earnout Consideration Statement and shall be instructed that its calculation (A) must be made in accordance with the standards and definitions in this Agreement, and (B) with respect to each item in dispute, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount by GAHR III in the applicable Earnout Consideration Statement and AHI in the applicable Notice of Disagreement. AHI and GAHR III shall instruct the Accounting Firm that the determinations of such firm with respect to any disagreement shall be rendered within 30 Business Days after referral of the disagreement to such firm or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. The Accounting Firm shall make a determination with respect to any unresolved disagreement only in a manner consistent with this Section 3.4, and in no event shall the Accounting Firm’s determination of the unresolved disagreements be for an amount that is outside the range of AHI’s and GAHR III’s proposals with respect to each individual disagreement. Such determinations shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the amount so determined shall be used to complete the applicable Earnout Consideration Statement. Each of AHI and GAHR III shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render its determination within the 30 Business Day period described in this Section 3.4(g), and each shall cooperate with such firm and provide such firm with access to its books, records, personnel and Representatives and such other information as such firm may require in order to render its determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party whose proposed Earnout Consideration Amount as reflected in such party’s submission to the Accounting Firm differs the most from the Earnout Consideration Amount (as applicable) finally determined by the Accounting Firm (or, if such differences of the parties are equal, equally by AHI and GAHR III).

(h) Timing of Payment. Promptly (but in no event more than 15 Business Days) after the Earnout Consideration Statement has become final in accordance with this Section 3.4, GAHR III shall transfer to AHI the Earnout Consideration; provided, however, that any Current Fee Participation Payments shall be deducted from the Earnout Consideration to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.4.

(i) Discretion in Management of Sponsored Investment Fund. GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) (acting through its then Independent Directors only) and GAHR III OP shall be free to conduct their Investment Management Services (including their acquisition, disposition and other investment activities, and all decisions regarding employment of their personnel, fundraising and decisions to call capital commitments) in accordance with their good faith ordinary business judgment, with no express or implied obligation to AHI or any other Person to take any action, or omit to take any action, to seek to maximize the Earnout Consideration. This includes the right of GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and GAHR III OP to decline to accept an investment from any potential investor(s) in the

28

Sponsored Investment Fund as they see fit in their good faith ordinary business judgment, which decision to so decline shall be made by the Independent Directors only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and GAHR III OP shall not (and shall use all reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of their Affiliates shall), during the Earnout Period, in bad faith manipulate charges, overhead allocations or revenue allocations, or take any other action in bad faith, in each case for the purpose of reducing the Earnout Consideration to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.4.

(j) Adjustment for Tax Purposes. Any payment under this Section 3.4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration for any Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by a final “determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(k) Tax Efficiency. If AHI later determines that it would be beneficial to it and/or the ultimate beneficiaries of the Earnout Consideration to structure the Earnout Consideration in a manner more Tax efficient for them, then GAHR III and GAHR III OP agree that they will reasonably cooperate with AHI in such structuring; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, GAHR III and GAHR III OP shall not be required to structure the Earnout Consideration in any manner that would, in their reasonable determination (which determination may be based, in whole or in part, on the advice of counsel to GAHR III, GAHR III OP or GAHR IV (or their successors)), (i) result in or cause an adverse or otherwise detrimental Tax result or effect for GAHR III, GAHR III OP or GAHR IV (or their successors) (including, without limitation, any increase in the risk of an audit of them or any of their Affiliates by any Tax Authority), (ii) result in or cause an adverse or otherwise detrimental economic result or effect for any of them (or their successors), or (iii) not be permitted under Law. Further, AHI agrees that it will (A) reimburse GAHR III, GAHR III OP and GAHR IV (and their successors) for all reasonable legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred by them in connection with any such structuring and (B) indemnify and hold them and each other GAHR III Indemnified Person harmless with respect to any Tax-related Liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and a Tax “gross-up” payment) that any of them (or their direct or indirect owners) may incur as a result of any such structuring.

3.5 Withholding. GAHR III, GAHR III OP and their respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable hereunder the amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, and the relevant withholding Person shall timely remit to the appropriate Authority any and all amounts so deducted or withheld and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed under applicable Tax Law; provided, however, the relevant withholding Person shall provide the Sponsors with reasonable advance written notice of their intention to withhold and the reason for such withholding at least seven (7) Business Days prior to any such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Authority in accordance with the foregoing, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.6 Restrictive Legend. HoldCo acknowledges and agrees that the OP Partnership Units issuable under Section 3.3 hereof (including any securities of GAHR III issuable upon redemption of such OP Partnership Units under the Pre-Merger OP Operating Agreement or,

29

following the Merger, of GAHR IV issuable upon redemption of such OP Partnership Units under the Post-Merger OP Operating Agreement) are not covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and further are subject to transfer to, or cancelation by, GAHR III and GAHR III OP as set forth in Section 11.7 hereof. As such, HoldCo acknowledges and agrees that any certificate or book-entry security entitlement evidencing such OP Partnership Units and such GAHR III securities shall contain a legend in substantially the form set forth below:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN ALL SUCH CASES ARE FURTHER SUBJECT TO (X) TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN AN AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT HOLDINGS, LP (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME) AND (Y) TRANSFER TO, OR CANCELATION BY, GRIFFIN-AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT III, INC. (OR ITS SUCCESSORS) AS SET FORTH IN A CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT DATED JUNE 23, 2021 UNDER WHICH SUCH SECURITIES WERE INITIALLY ISSUED. AS SUCH, HOLDERS OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME AND MAY FURTHER BE FORCED TO FORFEIT OR SURRENDER THE SECURITIES IN CERTAIN INSTANCES.

The parties agree that, to the extent the Closing Contribution is treated as a part sale of property in exchange for the Earnout Consideration, such sale shall be governed by the installment method

32

Each party hereto agrees to report, and cause their Affiliates to report, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement consistently with the foregoing for all U.S. federal income Tax purposes (including on all applicable Tax Returns and in any audit with a Tax Authority to the extent permitted by applicable Law), except as otherwise required by a “final” determination under Section 1313(a) of the Code.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF AHI

Except as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by AHI to GAHR III and GAHR III OP concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “AHI Disclosure Letter”), AHI represents and warrants to GAHR III and GAHR III OP as follows:

5.1 Organization and Qualification. Each of the AHI Contributors and AHI is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite partnership and limited liability company power and authority to conduct either its business or the Contributed Business as it is now being conducted by such entity, and to own, lease and operate the Contributed Business’ properties, rights and Assets. Each of the AHI Contributors and AHI is duly qualified as a foreign partnership or limited liability company or licensed to do business as a foreign entity in good standing, as the case may be, in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary for the conduct of the Contributed Business as currently conducted or where the nature or location of the properties, rights and Assets owned, leased or operated by it requires such qualification or licensing, except where the failure to be so qualified would not constitute or reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change. The Organizational Documents of each of the AHI Contributors, GAHR III Advisor, GAHR IV Advisor, HoldCo and NewCo, copies of which have been provided or made available to GAHR III OP, are true, complete and correct copies of such documents as in full force and effect as of the date of this Agreement.

5.2 Authority; Approvals. Each of AHI and the AHI Contributors have, and AHI will cause each of its Affiliates party hereto and thereto to have, the necessary partnership or limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any Ancillary Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which AHI and its Affiliates are party and the performance by such party of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary partnership, company or other action on the part of AHI or an Affiliate thereof, and no other partnership, company or other proceedings on the part of AHI or an Affiliate thereof are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which such party is a party by such Sponsor or Affiliate. This Agreement has been, and upon their execution the Ancillary Documents to which AHI or an Affiliate thereof is a party will be, duly executed and delivered by such party and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and such Ancillary Documents by each of the other parties thereto, constitute, and upon their execution such Ancillary Documents will constitute, valid and binding obligations of AHI or an Affiliate thereof, as applicable, enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting or relating to enforcement or creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general equitable principles.

33

5.3 Title to the Contributed Assets.

(b) Each of HoldCo and NewCo has been formed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to the Sponsor to HoldCo Pre-Closing Contributions and the HoldCo to NewCo Pre-Closing Contributions, other than with respect to Liabilities incident to its formation and other rights and Liabilities under this Agreement and any Ancillary Documents, NewCo did not and does not have any Assets or Liabilities, and other than the execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Document(s) to which NewCo is a party, NewCo has not conducted and is not conducting any operations or business.

All of the NewCo Interests (and equity interests in NewCo’s Subsidiaries) have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights. There are no Contracts to which the AHI Contributors, HoldCo or NewCo (or its Subsidiaries) is a party or bound with respect to the voting (including voting trusts or proxies) of NewCo Interests (or any equity interests in NewCo’s Subsidiaries). There are no outstanding or authorized subscriptions, options, warrants, call rights, conversion rights, exchange rights or similar rights, or Contracts that could require any of AHI, HoldCo, NewCo or any of their respective Subsidiaries to issue, sell or otherwise cause to be outstanding or to redeem any NewCo Interests (or any equity interests in NewCo’s Subsidiaries).

34

5.4 No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents by AHI or any Affiliate thereof, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by any AHI or any Affiliate thereof, shall: (a) violate or conflict with any provision of the Organizational Documents of AHI or any Affiliate thereof; (b) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to AHI or any Affiliate thereof or their respective properties, rights or Assets; (c) result in a breach or default under, or create in any Person the right to terminate, cancel, accelerate or modify, or require any notice, consent or waiver, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any Contributed Assets or under any Contract to which AHI or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective properties, rights or Assets may be bound; or (d) violate, conflict with, result in the loss of any benefit under, or require redemption, repayment or repurchase or otherwise require the purchase or sale of any securities, result in the termination of or a right of termination, modification or cancellation any Contributed Assets or any Contract to which AHI or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective properties, rights or Assets may be bound, except, in the case of clauses (c) or (d), as would not constitute or reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change.

5.5 Consents and Filings. No Consent of any Authority is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to AHI or any Affiliate thereof or the Contributed Business in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for (i) required filings (if any) under the HSR Act, (ii) the filing with the SEC of any reports or other documents that may be required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, (iii) the filing with the appropriate state Authorities of any required “blue sky” filing; or (iv) to the extent that the failure to obtain any such Consent would not constitute or reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change.

5.6 Absence of Certain Changes. Since January 1, 2021 through the date hereof, the Contributed Business has operated in the Ordinary Course of Business. Since January 1, 2021 through the date hereof, there has not occurred any change, event, occurrence, circumstance, development or effect that has constituted or would reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change.

5.7 Proceedings. As of the date hereof, there are no Proceedings by or against AHI, any of the AHI Contributors or the Contributed Business pending or, to the Knowledge of AHI, threatened in writing, challenging the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Except as would not constitute or reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change, as of the date hereof, there are no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of AHI, threatened, against the Contributed Business or against AHI or any AHI Contributor with respect to the Contributed Business or the NewCo Interests. As of the date hereof, none of the Contributed Business, AHI or any Affiliate thereof is subject to any outstanding Order that would have constituted or reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change.

35

5.8 Compliance with Laws.

(a) Except as has not constituted and would not reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change, the Contributed Business (including AHI and each of the AHI Contributors) is in compliance with each Law applicable to it. Since January 1, 2019, neither AHI nor any Affiliate thereof has received any written notice of, or to Knowledge of AHI, oral notice of, any investigation with respect to, any violation of any Law applicable to the Contributed Business or the Contributed Assets, except for notices of violations, or knowledge of such investigations, that have not constituted and would not reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change.

(b) AHI and each of the AHI Contributors possess all material Permits necessary for the conduct of the Contributed Business. All such Permits are in full force and effect in all material respects and, since January 1, 2019, through the date hereof, no Authority has provided any notice that it intends to limit, suspend, revoke or adversely modify such Permits. There is no default under, or violation of, any such Permits, except for defaults or violations that have not constituted and would not reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Change.

5.9 Tax Matters.

(a) Each of NewCo, GAHR III Advisor and GAHR IV Advisor has timely filed (or caused to be filed) all U.S. federal income and all other material Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all U.S. federal income and all other material Tax Returns otherwise required to be filed with respect the Contributed Assets and the business contemplated to be contributed, directly and indirectly, pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof have been timely filed. All such Tax Returns were, when filed, and remain correct and complete in all material respects.

(b) All U.S. federal income Taxes and other material Taxes required to be paid with respect to the Contributed Assets and the business contemplated to be contributed, directly and indirectly, pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, (including, in each case, any such Taxes required to be withheld), have been timely paid over to the appropriate Authority) or, in the case of Taxes not yet due and payable, accrued and reserved against and entered on the books of NewCo or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to the extent required to be so accrued under GAAP.

(f) At or prior to the Closing, the GAHR III Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) shall approve the Retention Equity Pool, with the issuance of equity awards thereunder being determined in the sole discretion of the GAHR III Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and granted within 30 days following the Closing.

8.18 Payment of Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses and Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness. Subject to any post-Closing adjustments as provided for in Section 3.2 hereof, prior to or at the Closing, the Sponsors shall pay, including if necessary from the Closing Date Cash, all Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses and all Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness owed by NewCo, its Subsidiaries or the Contributed Business as of the Closing Date, and there should be no amounts owed or due thereunder by GAHR III, GAHR IV or their Subsidiaries as of or following the Closing.

(e) The Sponsors shall have received all of the agreements and documents listed in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 4.2(b), which agreements and documents shall have been duly executed and delivered by GAHR III and/or GAHR III as applicable, and which agreements and documents shall be in full force and effect as of the Closing Date, and with none of GAHR III and GAHR III OP having repudiated such agreements or documents to which it is a party.

SECTION 10. TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION

10.1 Termination. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing,

(a) by mutual consent of the Sponsor Representative and GAHR III;

(b) by either the Sponsor Representative or by GAHR III if:

69

(i) there shall be any Law enacted, entered or promulgated by an Authority after the date hereof that makes the consummation of the Closing illegal or otherwise prohibited or any Order of any Authority having competent jurisdiction enjoining the parties from consummating the Closing shall have been entered and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party who fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to resist, resolve or lift, as applicable, such Law or Order;

(ii) the Closing has not occurred by March 23, 2022, or such later date as the parties may otherwise agree in writing; provided, however, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been the cause of or resulted in the Closing not occurring on or prior to such date;

(iii) if there shall have been a breach by the other party of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained herein, which breach would result in the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) (in the case of a breach by the Sponsors), or Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) (in the case of a breach by GAHR III or GAHR III OP), and in any such case such breach shall be incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 calendar days after written notice thereof shall have been received by the Party alleged to be in breach; or

(iv) prior to receipt of the Requisite GAHR III Stockholder Approval, the GAHR III Board shall have effected a Change of Recommendation.

10.2 Effect of Termination. No termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 shall be effective until written notice thereof is given to the non-terminating party or parties specifying the provision hereto pursuant to which such termination is made. If validly terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no further obligations on the part of any party hereto, except as set forth in this Section 10.2 (Effect of Termination) and Section 12 (Miscellaneous Provisions), which shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.2 shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any willful breach occurring prior to termination of this Agreement.

(a) any breach of a representation or warranty provided by GAHR III in this Agreement (disregarding any qualifications therein referring to “material”, “materiality” or “GAHR III Material Adverse Change” both for purposes of determining whether there has been such a breach as well as for purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses with respect to any such breach; provided, however, that no such qualifications shall be disregarded for the representations and warranties in Section 7.6 (Information for Proxy Statement) hereof);

(b) any breach of a covenant, agreement or undertaking of GAHR III or GAHR III OP in this Agreement; and

(a) any breach of a representation or warranty provided by any Sponsor (i.e., irrespective of the Sponsor making such representation and warranty) in this Agreement (disregarding any qualifications therein referring to “material”, “materiality” or “Business Material Adverse Change” both for purposes of determining whether there has been such a breach as well as for purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses with respect to any such breach; provided, however, that no such qualifications shall be disregarded for the representations and warranties in Section 5.17 (Information for Proxy Statement) and Section 6.10 (Information for Proxy Statement) hereof);

(b) any breach of a covenant, agreement or undertaking of any Sponsor Indemnifying Party (i.e., irrespective of the Sponsor Indemnifying Party obligated under such covenant, agreement or undertaking) in this Agreement (but excluding AHI’s, the AHI Principals’ and Flaherty Trust’s obligations in Section 3.4(b) hereof, which are not subject to the indemnity in this Section 11.3(b), as set forth in Section 11.8 hereof);

(c) the Retained Assets and Retained Liabilities;

(d) any misrepresentations or inaccuracies in the Estimated Closing Statement or any component thereof; and

11.4 Limitations on Indemnification; Offset.

(a) Subject to Section 11.4(c): (i) the Sponsor Indemnified Persons may not recover any Losses under Section 11.2(a) until the total amount of all Losses with respect to those matters collectively exceed $1,347,000 (the “Basket”), in which case, subject to any other applicable limitations contained in this Section 11.4, the Sponsor Indemnified Persons will be entitled to recover all Losses, including the Basket; (ii) the Sponsor Indemnified Persons may not recover any Losses under Section 11.2(a) in excess of $13,470,000 (the “Cap”); and (iii) the payments by each Sponsor Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11 in respect of any particular Loss shall not exceed the value of (x) such Sponsor Indemnifying Party’s Applicable Closing Date Proceeds Percentage multiplied by (y) the amount of such Loss.

72

(b) Subject to Section 11.4(c): (i) the GAHR III Indemnified Persons may not recover any Losses under Section 11.3(a) until the total of all Losses with respect to those matters collectively exceed the Basket, in which case, subject to any other applicable limitations contained in this Section 11.4, the GAHR III Indemnified Persons will be entitled to recover all Losses, including the Basket; and (ii) the GAHR III Indemnified Persons may not recover any Losses under Section 11.3(a) in excess of the Cap.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.4(a) or Section 11.4(b), neither the Basket nor the Cap will apply with respect to claims that arise from or relate to fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or misconduct of any indemnifying party or breach by any indemnifying party of any Fundamental Representation; provided that in the event of fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or misconduct of an indemnifying party, the Cap shall only be so “lifted” for the indemnifying party that committed such fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or misconduct; and provided further that the aggregate indemnity payments by a Sponsor Indemnifying Party hereunder shall not exceed the value of the Total Consideration received by or distributed to such Sponsor Indemnifying Party.

(d) Losses relating to any claim will be recoverable whenever they are incurred provided notice of the claim is given within the applicable survival period set forth in Section 11.1.

(e) Losses recoverable by a GAHR III Indemnified Person or a Sponsor Indemnified Person, as the case may be, shall be (i) reduced by (x) any amounts recovered by a GAHR III Indemnified Person or a Sponsor Indemnified Person, as the case may be, pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any Third Party and (y) Third Party insurance proceeds or other sources of cash reimbursement received, and (ii) increased by the amount of any costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the collection thereof, whether or not successful, and all insurance detriments (such as premium adjustments or increases) relating thereto, and shall not include any amounts already taken into account in the determination of a Final Adjustment Amount that has already been paid in full under Section 3.2(f) hereof (it being understood and agreed that the intent of this provision is to avoid duplicative recovery of the same amount of any Loss hereunder). The GAHR III Indemnified Persons and the Sponsor Indemnified Persons, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from any available Third Party insurance sources to minimize any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11. If any such amounts are received by a GAHR III Indemnified Person or a Sponsor Indemnified Person, as the case may be, after being fully indemnified for the relevant Losses hereunder, such amounts will be returned by such GAHR III Indemnified Person or Sponsor Indemnified Person to the relevant indemnifying Person, as the case may be.

(f) In no event shall GAHR III or GAHR III OP, on the other hand, or any Sponsor Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, as applicable, be liable to any Sponsor Indemnified Person or GAHR III Indemnified Person, as applicable, for any punitive damages, except for any such to extent awarded by an Authority to a Third Party in connection with a Third Party Claim.

(g) Nothing in this Section 11 will adversely affect, or result in a reduction of, the rights of (or obligations to) the beneficiaries of Section 8.11, or adversely affect or modify the provisions therein.

73

11.5 Indemnification Claims.

(a) If a Sponsor Indemnified Person becomes aware of a claim (a “Claim”) for indemnification under Section 11.2 (other than a Third Party Claim which will be provided for in Section 11.6), HoldCo will promptly notify GAHR III of the Claim, specifying in reasonable detail, to the extent then known, the nature of the Losses suffered and the facts giving rise to the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure to so notify GAHR III will not relieve GAHR III from its indemnification obligations or other Liabilities hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that GAHR III demonstrates that the defense of the matter is materially and actually prejudiced thereby.

(b) If a GAHR III Indemnified Person becomes aware of a Claim for indemnification under Section 11.3 (other than a Third Party Claim which will be provided for in Section 11.6), it will promptly notify HoldCo of the Claim, specifying in reasonable detail, to the extent then known, the nature of the Losses suffered and the facts giving rise to the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure to so notify HoldCo will not relieve HoldCo from its indemnification obligations or other Liabilities hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that HoldCo demonstrates that the defense of the matter is materially and actually prejudiced thereby.

11.6 Third Party Claims; Procedures.

(a) If any indemnified party receives notice of the assertion of any claim, the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, or the imposition of any penalty or assessment, by a Third Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), and the indemnified party intends to seek indemnity hereunder, then the indemnified party shall promptly provide the indemnifying party with written notice of the Third Party Claim (provided that any delay in providing such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any indemnification responsibility under this Section 11 except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the indemnifying party demonstrates that such delay materially and actually prejudices the indemnifying party. Any such notice shall, with respect to any such Third Party Claim, specify in reasonable detail, to the extent then known, the nature of the Losses suffered and the facts giving rise to the claim.

(b) The indemnifying party shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) to elect to control the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim with its own counsel at the indemnifying party’s expense; provided that in order to invoke such control right, (i) the indemnified party must not be reasonably expected to be liable for Losses materially in excess of amounts reasonably expected to be received from the indemnifying party and (ii) such proceeding must involve only monetary damages and must not seek an injunction or equitable relief against the indemnified party; provided further, that no indemnifying party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the applicable indemnified party unless (i) the terms of such settlement contain a complete and unconditional release of such indemnified party with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) such settlement is solely on monetary terms and does not result in any financial or other obligation of the indemnified party (other than standard provisions related to confidentiality and any immaterial or administrative terms).

74

(c) The indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense by the indemnifying party of any Third Party Claim with the indemnified party’s own counsel at its own expense; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall pay such expenses if such indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are not available to such indemnifying party, or if available to such indemnifying party the assertion of which would be adverse to or in conflict with the interests of the indemnified party.

(d) In the event that the indemnifying party does not undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of a Third Party Claim (or could not elect to do so because the claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal matter or the claim seeks or is likely to seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party) within the time frame specified in Section 11.6(b), the indemnified party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim (but in so electing to control shall not have waived any rights to indemnification therefor hereunder) with counsel of its choosing at the expense of the indemnifying party. If the indemnified party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment, admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except if (x) the indemnified party is reasonably expected to be liable for Losses materially in excess of amounts reasonably expected to be received from the indemnifying party or (y) such settlement or compromise is in respect of a proceeding that seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall be entitled (at the indemnifying party’s expense) to participate (but not control) in the defense of any Third Party Claim with its own counsel in the case that it has not elected to undertake the defense thereof pursuant to Section 11.6(b).

(e) In their defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of reasonable access to the books, records and assets which evidence or support such Third Party Claim or the act, omission or occurrence giving rise to such Third Party Claim and the right, upon prior notice, to interview any employee, agent or other representative related thereto.

(f) With regard to Claims (including Third Party Claims) for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification will be paid by the indemnifying party within five Business Days following the earliest to occur of (as applicable): (i) the resolution of the amount of Losses in connection with a Claim hereunder by an indemnifying party and the applicable indemnified parties, (ii) the entry of a judgment against the indemnified party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period or, if earlier, 10 days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (iii) the entry of a non-appealable judgment or final appellate decision against the indemnified party; (iv) with respect to a Third Party Claim, a settlement of the Third Party Claim; or (v) with respect to indemnities for any Liability for Taxes, a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or an analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law.

75

11.7 Form of Payment. Subject to the limitations herein (including Section 11.4 hereof):

(a) If any Sponsor Indemnifying Party has any obligation to indemnify any GAHR III Indemnified Person for Losses, then GAHR III may, at its election and without any further action of any Sponsor Indemnifying Party, satisfy all or a portion of such Losses by (i) causing the transfer (back to GAHR III or GAHR III OP) or cancelation of OP Partnership Units (or securities of GAHR III issued upon redemption thereof under the Pre-Merger OP Operating Agreement or of GAHR IV upon redemption thereof under Post-Merger OP Operating Agreement, as applicable) having a value based on the then most recent net asset value per share of GAHR III (or of GAHR IV following the REIT Merger (or, if the common stock of GAHR III or GAHR IV, as applicable, is then listed on a national securities exchange, based on the average daily closing price per share thereof for the 30 trading days preceding the date of such transfer or cancelation) equal to such Losses, and/or (ii) offsetting such Losses against any Earnout Consideration then or later due to a Sponsor Indemnifying Party.

(b) If GAHR III and/or GAHR III OP has any obligation to indemnify any Sponsor, then GAHR III shall satisfy all of such Losses by a payment in cash.

11.8 Exclusive Remedy; Exception for Certain Obligations in Section 3.4(b). After the Closing (but subject to the following sentence), the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 11 shall be the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of the GAHR III Indemnified Persons and the Sponsor Indemnified Persons under or in connection with this Agreement, except that nothing in this Agreement will limit any right to injunctive or other equitable relief or for any claim arising out of or relating to the fraud or willful misconduct of any of them or for claims exclusively as between the Sponsors. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, this Section 11 shall not govern (but similarly shall not limit) the rights and remedies of (a) the GAHR III Indemnified Persons, AHI, the AHI Principals and Flaherty Trust for any breach by any of them under Section 3.4(b) hereof or (b) AHI, the AHI Principals and Flaherty Trust for claims exclusively as between or among them in connection with Section 3.4(b) hereof.

11.9 Tax Treatment of Payment. The parties hereto shall treat any payments that the GAHR III Indemnified Persons or the Sponsor Indemnified Persons receive pursuant to this Section 11 as an adjustment to the Total Consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties without notice or liability to any other Person.

77

12.2 Amendment and Modification. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time with respect to any of the terms contained herein if such amendment or modification is set forth in a writing duly authorized and executed by GAHR III, GAHR III OP, Griffin Capital and the Sponsor Representative; provided, however, in the event of an amendment or modification of any portion of Section 3.4 (or any amendment or modification of the defined terms therein, including the definitions of “Applicable Earnout Percentage” and “Current Fee Participation Amount”), such amendment or modification need only be set forth in a writing duly authorized and executed by GAHR III, GAHR III OP and the Sponsor Representative (but not Griffin Capital). For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor Representative is not authorized to take any actions pursuant to this Section 12.2 on behalf of Griffin Capital.

12.3 Waiver of Compliance; Consents. Any failure of a party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may only be waived in a writing signed by each of GAHR III, GAHR III OP and the Sponsor Representative, but any waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with the obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No single or partial exercise of a right or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy hereunder. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits the consent or waiver by or on behalf of a party, the consent or waiver must be given in writing in the same manner as for waivers of compliance.

12.4 Actions of GAHR III; Authority of the Sponsor Representative.

(a) All amendments, modifications, consents, waivers, elections and determinations of GAHR III or GAHR III OP under or with regard to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents shall be made only with the prior approval of the Special Committee of GAHR III or its designees (or, if the Special Committee has determined to dissolve itself, a majority of the then Independent Directors).

(b) Subject to Section 12.2 hereof, GAHR III and GAHR III OP may conclusively rely (without further inquiry) on any amendments, modifications, consents, waivers, elections and determinations of the Sponsor Representative hereunder as an amendment, modification, consent, waiver, election or determination accepted by all of the Sponsors and the Additional Indemnitors. Without limiting the foregoing right of GAHR III and GAHR III OP to so conclusively rely, the Sponsors and the Additional Indemnitors represent and warrant to GAHR III and GAHR IV that pursuant to a separate agreement among the Sponsors and the Additional Indemnitors (the “Sponsor Representative Agreement”), each of the Sponsors and Additional Indemnitors has appointed the Sponsor Representative as its initial representative, agent and attorney-in-fact to act for the Sponsor Indemnifying Parties in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents by taking any and all actions and making any decisions or consents required or permitted to be taken or made by the Sponsors and the other Sponsor Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (which actions, decisions and consents the Sponsor Representative may undertake, make and grant in its good

78

faith sole discretion), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Sponsor Representative Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from GAHR III and GAHR III OP relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby; (ii) grant consents contemplated within, agree to amendments and modifications hereto (as set forth in Section 12.2 herein), and grant waivers under, this Agreement; (iii) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand litigation of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to (A) indemnification claims by any GAHR III Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 11 hereof or (B) any dispute between any GAHR III Indemnified Person and any Sponsor Indemnifying Party, in each case relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document; and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of the Sponsor Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Sponsor Representative shall not make any determinations as to whether any indemnifiable Losses hereunder are attributable to the fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or misconduct of a Sponsor Indemnifying Party without the consent of that Sponsor Indemnifying Party. Any decisions made by the Sponsor Representative will be made in the same manner as to all of the Sponsors and the other Sponsor Indemnifying Parties, e.g., the Sponsor Representative may not compromise an indemnification claim with respect to one Sponsor Indemnifying Party without also similarly compromising such claim for all other Sponsor Indemnifying Parties.

(c) If the Sponsor Representative intends at any time to resign, then that Sponsor Representative shall provide written notice of such intent to GAHR III, and such resignation shall only be effective upon the earlier of (i) twenty (20) calendar days following delivery of such written notice and (ii) that Sponsor Representative’s certification to GAHR III that a successor Sponsor Representative has been duly appointed effective immediately. If the Sponsors and the Additional Indemnitors at any time intend to appoint a successor Sponsor Representative, they must notify GAHR III thereof and that proposed successor Sponsor Representative must be reasonably acceptable to GAHR III. If for any reason there is at any time no Sponsor Representative that has been duly appointed or approved, then all references herein to the Sponsor Representative shall be deemed to refer to AHI.

12.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, each of the parties will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees, accounting, investment banking and other fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
