BROOKDALE LIVING COMMUNITIES OF ILLINOIS-DNC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, PSLT-BLC Holdings, BLC Holdings and, for certain limited purposes,
Manager, the Provident Lessors, the Brookdale Lessees and Ventas Provident
(through Ventas Provident’s predecessor-in-interest), are parties to that
certain Agreement Regarding Leases dated as of October 19, 2004, which has been
modified by that certain letter agreement, dated as of October 19, 2004, that
certain letter agreement, dated as of March 28, 2005 (the “Second Letter
Agreement”), and that certain First Amendment to Agreement Regarding Leases,
dated as of February 11, 2009 (as amended, the “Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Westbury Lessor, as landlord, and Westbury Lessee, as tenant, have
entered into that certain Property Lease Agreement, dated of even date herewith
(the “Westbury Lease”), pursuant to which Westbury Lessor leases to Westbury
Lessee, and Westbury Lessee leases from Westbury Lessor, that certain 82-bed
skilled nursing facility commonly known as the Westbury Care Center (such
facility, including the land on which it is located and any and all improvements
thereon, the “Westbury Facility”), which Westbury Facility is located at 1800
Robin Lane in Lisle, Illinois; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings respectively given to such terms in the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Recitals. The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into the body
of this Amendment as if fully restated herein.

2. Definitions. The following defined terms in the Agreement are hereby modified
as follows:

2.1. “Provident Lessors” shall be modified to include Westbury Lessor, in
addition to those entities already included in the definition of such term.
Accordingly, Westbury Lessor shall be a “Provident Lessor” under the Agreement.
A revised list of those entities that are “Provident Lessors” is attached hereto
as Exhibit A.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2. “Brookdale Lessees” shall be modified to include Westbury Lessee, in
addition to those entities already included in the definition of such term.
Accordingly, Westbury Lessee shall be a “Brookdale Lessee” under the Agreement.
A revised list of those entities that are “Brookdale Lessees” is attached hereto
as Exhibit B.

2.3. “Property Leases” shall be modified to include the Westbury Lease, in
addition to those leases already included in the definition of such term.
Accordingly, the Westbury Lease shall be a “Property Lease” under the Agreement.

2.4. “Facilities” shall be modified to include the Westbury Facility, in
addition to those facilities already included in the definition of such term.
Accordingly, the Westbury Facility shall be a “Facility” under the Agreement. A
revised list of the Facilities is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

3. Rights and Obligations of Westbury Lessor. The parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that (a) unlike the other Provident Lessors, PSLT-BLC Holdings does not
own a beneficial interest in Westbury Lessor; (b) notwithstanding PSLT-BLC
Holdings’ lack of a beneficial interest in Westbury Lessor, Westbury Lessor
shall still be deemed to be a “Provident Lessor” for all purposes under the
Agreement, in accordance with Paragraph 2.1 above; (c) notwithstanding Westbury
Lessor being deemed a “Provident Lessor” under the Agreement, any and all of
PSLT-BLC Holdings’ rights (including, without limitation, consent rights) and
obligations under the Agreement shall also jointly apply and be extended to
Westbury Lessor, which shall exercise such rights and fulfill such obligations
with respect to the Westbury Facility, the Westbury Lease, and the Westbury
Lessee, in addition to or in lieu of PSLT-BLC Holdings’ exercise or fulfillment
thereof; provided, however, the obligations of PSLT-BLC Holdings under the
Agreement that shall hereafter apply to Westbury Lessor shall apply with respect
to the Westbury Lease, the Westbury Lessee and the Westbury Facility, only, and
Westbury Lessor shall have no obligations whatsoever under the Agreement with
respect to any other Property Leases or Facilities; and (d) PSLT-BLC Holdings
and Westbury Lessor shall each, jointly or independently, be entitled to
exercise any of the rights granted to PSLT-BLC Holdings under the Agreement,
except in the event the exercise of any such rights would affect or otherwise
involve the Westbury Lease, the Westbury Lessee or Westbury Facility, in which
case Westbury Lessor must be involved (either independently or together with
PSLT-BLC Holdings) in the exercise of any such rights, otherwise any such
exercise shall be deemed ineffective. In addition, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that any notice and cure periods that apply to PSLT-BLC
Holdings under the Westbury Lease shall also apply to Westbury Lessor. Subject
to the last sentence of this Paragraph 3, if at any time after the date hereof,
PSLT-BLC Holdings and Westbury Lessor are no longer Affiliates, then PSLT-BLC
Holdings and Westbury Lessor shall, in all instances in which they owe
obligations to BLC Holdings hereunder, act jointly in fulfilling such
obligations, and neither shall take any position, or refuse to consent, where
such position or refusal shall have the effect of depriving BLC Holdings of its
rights hereunder solely because PSLT-BLC Holdings and Westbury Lessor are
separate entities and PSLT-BLC Holdings does not hold the ownership interests in
Westbury Lessor, it being the intent of the parties that BLC Holdings shall not
be adversely affected as a result thereof in any manner. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event PSLT-BLC Holdings and/or Westbury Lessor have/has any
reason, in their/its sole, but reasonable, discretion, for taking a position or
refusing to consent with respect to any matters involving the rights of BLC
Holdings under the Agreement, PSLT-BLC Holdings and/or Westbury Lessor shall not
be prevented from doing so, regardless of the effect, adverse or otherwise, it
may have on BLC Holdings under the Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Facility Management Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
(a) the Westbury Facility is not subject to a Facility Management Agreement; and
(b) until such time, if ever, as the Westbury Facility is subject to a Facility
Management Agreement, (1) there shall be no Facility Management Agreement to
terminate for the Westbury Facility in the event of a Management Termination
Event, (2) there shall be no payments due and owing to Manager in connection
with the Westbury Facility, and (3) BLC Holdings shall have no right to cause
Westbury Lessee to terminate the Westbury Lease pursuant to Paragraph 28(c) of
the Agreement. The lack of a Facility Management Agreement for the Westbury
Facility shall otherwise have no implications with respect to the Agreement. In
accordance with the terms of this Paragraph and Paragraph 3 above,
notwithstanding that there is no Facility Management Agreement for the Westbury
Facility, Westbury Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, either jointly with
PSLT-BLC Holdings or independently, all rights and remedies granted to PSLT-BLC
Holdings under the Agreement, including, without limitation, those remedies
granted to PSLT-BLC Holdings in the event of a Management Termination Event
under Paragraph 28(b) of the Agreement.

5. Mandatory Capital Additions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
the terms of Paragraph 5 of the Agreement addressing Mandatory Capital Additions
and Mandatory Capital Addition Allowances shall not apply to the Westbury Lease
or the Westbury Facility and any Capital Additions (and Non-Capital Additions,
as defined in the Westbury Lease) made to the Westbury Facility shall be
governed by Paragraph 11 of the Westbury Lease (and any other applicable
provisions of the Westbury Lease), only.

6. Brookdale Requested Refinancings. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that Westbury Lessee does not have the right, under the Westbury Lease, the
Agreement, or otherwise, to request a Brookdale Requested Refinancing with
respect to the Westbury Facility. Accordingly, Paragraph 12(c) shall not apply
to the Westbury Facility, and the references to the terms “Brookdale Requested
Refinancing,” “Brookdale Requested Refinancing Basis,” and “Brookdale Requested
Second Financing Basis” in Paragraphs 12(d) and (e) of the Agreement shall not
be relevant to the Westbury Lease or the Westbury Facility.

7. Right of First Refusal. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
terms of the Right of First Refusal granted to BLC Holdings under Schedule A of
the Second Letter Agreement shall apply to the Westbury Facility. Accordingly,
in the event Westbury Lessor shall receive an Offer (as defined in Schedule A of
the Second Letter Agreement) to purchase the Westbury Facility, the Westbury
Facility shall be deemed a “Purchase Notice Facility” (as defined in Schedule A
of the Second Letter Agreement), and Westbury Lessor and BLC Holdings shall
thereafter observe all of the terms and conditions required to be followed by
PSLT-BLC Holdings and BLC Holdings, respectively, under Schedule A of the Second
Letter Agreement.

8. Limitation of Westbury Lessor’s Liability. Without limitation of the terms of
Paragraph 11 of the Agreement, if BLC Holdings is awarded a money judgment
against Westbury Lessor, then BLC Holdings’ sole recourse for satisfaction of
such judgment shall be limited to execution against Westbury Lessor’s ownership
interest in the Westbury Facility.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Notices. The addresses for Notices provided in Paragraph 15 of the Agreement
are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

 

If to BLC Holdings:    Brookdale Provident Properties, LLC    c/o Brookdale

10. Paragraph Numbering in the Westbury Lease. PSLT-BLC Holdings and BLC
Holdings acknowledge that the manner in which the subparagraphs are numbered in
the Westbury Lease slightly differs from the manner in which the corresponding
subparagraphs are numbered in the other Property Leases. In the Westbury Lease,
each subparagraph is designated “.1,” “.2,” and so on, as opposed to the other
Property Leases, in which each corresponding subparagraph is designated “(a),”
(b),” and so on. PSLT-BLC Holdings and BLC Holdings agree that all references in
the Agreement to subparagraphs in the Property Leases shall be deemed to refer
to the corresponding subparagraph in the Westbury Lease. By way of example, the
reference to “Paragraph 25(d) of the Property Leases” in Paragraph 10 of the
Agreement shall be deemed to refer, with respect to the Westbury Lease, only, to
“Paragraph 25.4” (i.e., the corresponding subparagraph of the Westbury Lease),
instead of “Paragraph 25(d).” As a further example, the reference to “Paragraph
18(a)(xiv) of each of the Property Leases” in Paragraph 12(a) of the Agreement
shall be deemed to refer, with respect to the Westbury Lease, only, to
“Paragraph 18.1(xiv)” (i.e., the corresponding subparagraph of the Westbury
Lease), instead of “Paragraph 18(a)(xiv).”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Full Force and Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms.

12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more multiple
counterparts, all of which, when taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

13. Facsimile; Email. Executed versions of this Amendment may be delivered by
the parties via facsimile or email, either or both of which shall constitute
delivery of an original.

14. Severability. The provisions hereof shall be deemed independent and
severable, and the invalidity or enforceability of any one provision shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

15. Conflicts. If any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Amendment
conflict with the terms, covenants or conditions of the Agreement, the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Amendment shall control. From and after the
date of this Amendment, references to the “Agreement” shall mean the Agreement
as amended by this Amendment.
