WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, Brookdale Senior Living Inc., a Delaware

WHEREAS, initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the

WHEREAS, Landlord Holdings and Tenant Holdings desire to amend the Agreement
Regarding Leases as hereinafter set forth in this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are acknowledged hereby, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, agree to incorporate the foregoing recitals as if the same were more
particularly set forth in the body of this Amendment and further agree as
follows:

1. Amendments. The Agreement Regarding Leases is hereby amended as set forth in
this Section 1.

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

1.1 The definitions of the capitalized terms in the recitals to this Amendment
(including “Guarantor”) shall be deemed incorporated into the Agreement
Regarding Leases.

1.2 The term “Guaranty” shall mean both the Parent Guaranty and the Second Tier
Guaranty.

1.3 For the purpose of calculating the Lease Coverage Ratio, (i) the term “Total
Revenues” shall not include any revenue received from any Affiliate of Tenant
Holdings except rent, if any, from such Affiliate paid pursuant to a sublease
approved by Landlord Holdings for which Landlord Holdings also expressly
approved inclusion of such revenue in connection with the approval of such
sublease (which Landlord Holdings may approve or deny in its sole and absolute
discretion), and (ii) community fees actually collected during the period in
question shall be considered revenue for the purposes of calculation of “Total
Revenues” to the extent that such fees are fully earned by Tenant Holdings upon
receipt and are non-refundable to the resident (or if refundable, to the extent
the right to the refund expires).

1.4 Section 7(a)(xiv) of the Agreement Regarding Leases is hereby deleted and
replaced with the following: “if an Event of Default (as defined in the Parent
Guaranty) shall have occurred under the Parent Guaranty or if the Second Tier
Guarantor fails to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained
in the Second Tier Guaranty beyond any applicable notice and cure periods set
forth therein.”

1.5 Any Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement Regarding Leases)
occurring as a result of the insolvency, whether actual or potential, of either
of Tenant Holdings or Guarantor, may be waived by Landlord Holdings by written
notice to Tenant Holdings, and such notice may be revoked at any time by written
notice from Landlord Holdings.

2. Representations and Warranties of Tenant Holdings. Without limiting in any
way any representation or warranty in the Agreement Regarding Leases or any
document executed in connection therewith (collectively, the “Lease Documents”),
Tenant Holdings represents and warrants to Landlord Holdings that as of the date
hereof:

2.1 Organization and Good Standing. Tenant Holdings and each Brookdale Lessee is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of its organization. Tenant Holdings and each Brookdale Lessee is
qualified to do business in and is in good standing under the laws of the State
in which the Facility leased by such Brookdale Lessee is located. Tenant
Holdings and each Brookdale Lessee has delivered to Landlord Holdings true and
complete copies of the documents, certificates and agreements pursuant to which
Tenant Holdings and such Brookdale Lessee is organized to do business.

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

2.2 Power and Authority. Tenant Holdings has the power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform this Amendment. Tenant Holdings has taken all requisite
action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of Tenant
Holdings’ obligations under this Amendment.

2.3 Consents. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment will not
require any consent, approval, authorization, order, or declaration of, or any
filing or registration with, any court, any Governmental Authority, or any other
Person.

2.4 No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment
(i) do not and will not conflict with, and do not and will not result in a
breach of, any of Tenant Holdings’ organization documents; and (ii) do not and
will not violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or
regulation applicable to Tenant Holdings, any Brookdale Lessee or any of the
Facilities.

2.5 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of
Tenant Holdings or any Brookdale Lessee in this Amendment or in any other
document or certificate delivered to Landlord Holdings by Tenant Holdings or any
Brookdale Lessee contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading, including, without limitation, all of the financial
information delivered by Tenant Holdings or any Brookdale Lessee prior or
simultaneous to the execution of this Amendment, all of which Tenant Holdings
hereby acknowledges were relied upon by Landlord Holdings in executing this
Amendment. There is no fact presently known to Tenant Holdings which has not
been disclosed to Landlord Holdings which has a material adverse effect.

2.6 Enforceability. This Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Tenant Holdings, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of
creditors generally and general principles of equity.

2.7 No Defaults. To Tenant Holdings’ actual knowledge, (i) no Event of Default
under the Agreement Regarding Leases or default under any of the other Lease
Documents has occurred and (ii) no event has occurred or circumstance exists
that, with the passage of time, giving of notice or both would become such an
Event of Default or default.

2.8 No Offsets or Defenses. Through the date of this Amendment, and to Tenant
Holdings’ knowledge, Tenant Holdings neither has, nor claims any offset,
defense, claim, right of set-off or counterclaim against Landlord Holdings
under, arising out of or in connection with this Amendment, the Agreement
Regarding Leases or any of the other Lease Documents. In addition, Tenant
Holdings covenants and agrees with Landlord Holdings that if any offset,
defense, claim, right of set-off or counterclaim exists of which Tenant Holdings
has knowledge as of the date of this Amendment, Tenant Holdings hereby
irrevocably and expressly waives the right to assert such matter.

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

2.9 Damage or Injury. Since the date of the Agreement Regarding Leases, no
Facility has been materially injured or damaged by fire or other Casualty except
as Tenant Holdings may have previously disclosed to Landlord Holdings in
writing.

2.10 Change. Since the date of the Agreement Regarding Leases, no material
adverse change with respect to Tenant Holdings, any Facility or any Brookdale
Lessee has occurred.

2.11 Representation and Warranties in Lease Agreement. All of the
representations and warranties in Section 13(a) in the Agreement Regarding
Leases are hereby re-made by Tenant Holdings and are true and correct as of the
date hereof in all material respects.

3. Modifications. This Amendment may not be amended, modified or otherwise
changed in any manner except by a writing executed by all of the parties hereto.

4. Severability. In case any provision of this Amendment shall be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to have been modified
to the extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable. The validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

5. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment applies to, inures to the benefit of,
and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators,
executors, and permitted successors and assigns.

6. Governing Law. In all respects, the law of the State of New York shall govern
the validity of and enforceability of the obligations of the parties set forth
herein, but all provisions hereof relating to the creation of the leasehold
estate and remedies set forth in the Agreement Regarding Leases, as amended
hereby, shall be governed by the laws of the State in which each applicable
Facility that is the subject of dispute is located.

7. Amendment Controlling; Full Force and Effect. This Amendment is considered by
the parties to the Agreement Regarding Leases to be an integral part of such
Agreement Regarding Leases. If there is any conflict between the terms of the
Agreement Regarding Leases and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall
control. Except as expressly amended herein, all other terms, agreements, and
conditions of the Agreement Regarding Leases shall remain unmodified and in full
force and effect and none of the representations, warranties or covenants
contained herein shall limit in any way any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in any Lease Document. This Amendment shall constitute a “Lease
Document” as defined herein.

8. Counterparts/Fax Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in two or more
counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one
party, but all such counterparts when taken together will constitute one and the
same agreement. Confirmation of the execution of this Amendment by telex or by
telecopy or telefax of a facsimile page(s) executed by the parties shall have
the same effect as an original.
