vi.    At or prior to Closing, Seller shall fully resolve or satisfy any state or federal tax liens against Seller and shall provide Griffin Assignee with evidence thereof satisfactory to Griffin Assignee.
g.    Specific Modifications to Agreement:
i.    Definition of “Excluded Personal Property”: The definition of the term “Excluded Personal Property” in Section 1(d) of the Agreement is hereby modified to mean (1) all tangible personal property owned or leased from a party other than Seller by the Residents and Tenants (each as defined below) or other occupants of the Property, and (2) those items set forth on Schedule 1.4 attached hereto.
ii.    Definition of Survey, Title Review Period: The second sentence of Section 3.2 is hereby modified to read as follows: “Within two (2) days following the Effective Date, Seller shall furnish Buyer with a copy of the most recent survey of the Community in Seller’s possession, if any (the “Prior Survey”, and collectively with the New Survey, the “Survey”) of any or all of the Land and the Improvements by a registered land surveyor.” Additionally, to avoid the implication that the Title Review Period has commenced running and/or expired, the term “Title Review Period” is hereby modified to have the same meaning as the Due Diligence Period, such that the Title Review Period shall expire when the Due Diligence Period expires.
iii.    Definition of “Preliminary Targeted Closing Date”: As used in the Agreement, the term “Preliminary Targeted Closing Date” shall apply only to the Tranche 1 Closing and, with respect thereto, shall mean July 3, 2017, and the terms of Section 6.2 are

6


hereby amended accordingly. The foregoing is subject to Recital H of this Assignment and the agreed upon date established herein as the Tranche 1 Closing Date.
iv.    Definition of Due Diligence Period: The Due Diligence Period is hereby extended to 11:59 p.m. Los Angeles, California time on November 30, 2017. All references to the term “Due Diligence Period” in the Agreement shall mean and refer to the Due Diligence Period as extended by this Amendment.
v.    Interim Structure: Seller acknowledges that it is the intention of Griffin Assignee and Subtenant Assignee that, at Closing: (i) they will enter into an agreement adding the Real Property Assets, and the Real Property Assets under each of the Other Property Purchase Agreements to a master lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) to which affiliates of Griffin Assignee and Subtenant Assignee are parties, and pursuant to which Griffin Assignee (or its subsequent affiliated assignee) will lease said Real Property Assets to an affiliate of Subtenant Assignee, who in turn will sublease said Real Property Assets to Subtenant Assignee and certain affiliates of Subtenant Assignees and (ii) the form and substance of each of the Interim Lease and the Interim Management Agreement attached to the Agreement executed at Closing shall be modified in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer to reflect such post-Closing structure such that the Interim Lease will be a sub-sublease of each said sublease to Subtenant Assignee or its affiliates.
vi.    Default Under Other Property Purchase Agreements: Section 13.3 of the Agreement is hereby revised to provide that, following a Buyer default under the Agreement or an Other Property Purchase Agreement, Seller shall only exercise the same remedy with respect to all of the Agreement or the Other Property Purchase Agreements with respect to such default. By way of example only, Seller shall not be permitted to terminate only some of the Other Property Purchase Agreements and require Buyer to perform with respect to the Agreement and the remaining Other Property Purchase Agreements.
vii.    Closing Conditions
A.    Other Property Purchase Agreements: Section 9.1.17 of the Agreement is hereby amended to state that the obligation of Buyer to purchase the Property pursuant to the Agreement shall, at the option of Buyer, be subject to the fulfillment of the condition that Buyer and the Other Sellers under only the Tranche 2 PSAs concurrently close on the purchase and sale of each of the Tranche 2 Properties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tranche 2 Property PSAs.
B.    EBITDAR Condition: The following is added as a new Section 9.1.20 of the Agreement: The EBITDAR (computed imputing a five percent (5%) management fee) of the Community (as well as the EBITDAR of each of the other Tranche 2 Properties), calculated on a trailing 6-month basis as of the last day of each month during the period beginning in July, 2017 and ending in November, 2017, which calculation is reasonably approved by Buyer, is not less than $978,000.00 in the aggregate for all of the Tranche 2 Properties, as verified by financial information that Seller provides to Buyer at the reasonable request of Buyer. If the foregoing condition is not satisfied, either Griffin Assignee or Subtenant Assignee shall have the right to terminate the Agreement; provided, however that (i) if the

7


foregoing EBITDAR condition has not been satisfied as of the final day of any month between July, 2017 and November, 2017, then by no later than December 29, 2017 (or, if later, within ten (10) business days after Griffin Assignee receives the Monthly Report for November of 2017, said later date being the “Election Deadline”), Griffin Assignee shall notify Seller as to whether it intends to proceed with the Closing of the Tranche 2 Properties or terminate its rights under the Agreement, (ii) in the event that the Griffin Assignee elects to proceed with such Closing, the Closing shall occur on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Election Deadline (but in no event later than January 22, 2018 (said date being the last eligible date for Seller to complete a tax-deferred exchange of the Property pursuant to Section 30 of the Agreement), or on such earlier date as is designated by Buyer and (iii) in the event that the Griffin Assignee elects to terminate its rights under the Agreement, then (a) upon Griffin Assignee’s receipt of the entirety of the Deposit paid by Griffin Assignee (whether to Seller or to Subtenant Assignee in reimbursement of portions thereof previously paid by Subtenant Assignee), Griffin Assignee shall assign all of its rights under the Agreement to Subtenant Assignee, (b) upon such receipt of the Deposit and assignment, Griffin Assignee shall be released from all obligations arising under the Agreement, and (c) Subtenant Assignee shall be permitted to continue to pursue the Closing of the Tranche 2 Properties pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Upon such assignment from Griffin Assignee to Subtenant Assignee, Subtenant Assignee shall have no obligation to reimburse Griffin Assignee for any of its diligence costs or expenses, including legal fees, incurred in connection with Griffin Assignee’s pursuit of the Tranche 2 Properties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to waive this EBITDAR condition at its sole election by written notice delivered to Seller at any time prior to the Election Deadline, whereupon the Closing Date shall be December 29, 2017 or such earlier date as is designated by Griffin Assignee and is reasonably approved by Subtenant Assignee.

7.    REIT Savings Clause: No term or provision of this Assignment shall be interpreted or construed to result in treatment of Assignee or its affiliates in a manner that would subject Griffin Assignee or its affiliates to a material risk of failing to satisfy the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to its status as a REIT, the parties agree to use their respective best efforts to modify the terms hereof to prevent such occurrence.
