 2.2 Limitations on Duty of Care. Notwithstanding the above, it is recognized that:

  

	 	i.	The services performed by Manager are being performed on a non-exclusive basis, and Manager may provide services to other entities, including affiliates, which may from time to time
be in competition with GLR and/or the GLR Properties. Manager will, however, keep the Board of GLR reasonably informed as to the scope and extent of such competitive or potentially competitive activities. 

  

	 	ii.	It is understood that the ability of the Manager to operate and maintain the GLP Properties will reflect the budget approved for such operations and maintenance from time to time by
GLR, and that the Manager is under no obligation to expend or advance its own funds to operate, safeguard, maintain or repair the GLR Properties. 

 2.3. Scope of Authority. The following transactions will require the approval of GLR, acting through its executive officers: 
  

	 	a.	Entering into any lease or license, unless such lease or license is entered into on the basis of written guidelines approved in advance by the GLR. 

  

	 	b.	Entering into any contract or agreement that would be binding upon the GLR or its assets, unless such contract or agreement is entered into on the basis of written guidelines
approved in advance by the GLR. 

  

	 	c.	Entering into any contract or agreement with respect to the disposition of any assets of GLR, unless such contract or agreement is entered into on the basis of written guidelines
approved in advance by GLR. 

 2.4. Office Space. As an accommodation to GLR and in light of the number of GLR
Properties that are located in the area commonly known as the Beverly Hills Triangle, Manager will perform its services hereunder principally from the executive office space maintained by GLR at 439 North Bedford Drive. No charge will be made by GLR
for the use of this space; provided, however, that after the Transition Period, as such term is defined below, all utilities will be for the account of the Manager and will not constitute a reimbursable expense of the Manager. 
 3. Contract Oversight. The performance by Manager under this Agreement will be subject to the general oversight of the Board of Directors of GLR, which shall be
entitled to full and complete access to the books and records of the Manager, and to reasonable access, during regular business hours, to the Manager’s officers and employees.

 4. Personnel. 
  

	 	4.1.	Sufficient Personnel. Manager will be responsible for maintaining sufficient personnel to provide the services required under this Agreement. Except as may otherwise
be specified from time to time by GLR, all services shall be provided by personnel supplied by Manager or by independent contractors retained by and reporting to the Manager. GLR will have no responsibility for any such employees or independent
contractors, who will report to and operate under the exclusive control of Manager. 

  

	 	4.2.	Payroll Services. GLR will, through its subsidiary G&L Realty Partnership, L.P. continue to provide payroll services for Manager through and including
December 31, 2005. Thereafter, Manager will take direct responsibility for such payroll function. Manager agrees to reimburse to GLR any and all expenses incurred by it or its affiliates with respect to providing such payroll services and to

	 	4.3.	Direct Reimbursement for Certain Payroll Expenses. GLR will directly reimburse Manager for the payroll costs of those employees of Manager who provide maintenance and
property management services directly to GLR’s buildings and who were directly allocated to the buildings prior to June 30, 2005 and any such future replacements for or additions to such employees. 

 5. Management Fee. 
  

	 	5.1	Transition Period Cost Sharing. Initially, in consideration of the services provided by Manager, GLR agrees, with respect to the period ended December 31, 2005
(the “Transition Period”), to contribute to the costs and expenses of Manager an amount equal to 35% of the costs of Manager incurred with respect to the provision of services to GLR and to Senior Care Properties and its affiliates,
with the intention that with respect to the Transition Period 100%, but no more than 100%, of the costs and expenses of the Manager are recouped from GLR and Senior Care Properties and its affiliates on such a 35/65 basis. Such amounts shall be
funded by GLR monthly in arrears, as billed by Manager in accordance with this Agreement. All payments shall be made not less than thirty (30) days of billing. Notwithstanding the above, Manager may elect to maintain cash reserves so as to have
at all times not less than one nor more than three months working capital available to it, in which case the amounts needed to fund such working capital reserve shall be paid by GLR and Senior Care Properties within thirty (30) days of demand
by Manager, such amounts to be funded in proportion to the allocation ratios of GLR and Senior Care Properties then in effect. Any amounts not timely paid will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount allowed by
applicable law, which ever is less, until paid. 

  

 5 









	 	5.2	Post Transition Period Fee Structure. Following the Effective Date, the parties will meet and negotiate in good faith a revised fee structure, such fee structure to be
effective for periods following the Transition Period. This revised fee structure will be based upon the format set out in clauses 5.2.1 through 5.2.5. 

  

	 	5.2.1	For Property Management Services: A fee equal to 6% of the gross receipts from the properties managed. 

  

	 	5.2.2	For Property Development Services: A fee equal to 1% of the hard and soft costs of the project (calculated exclusive of land costs). 

  

	 	5.2.3	For Acquisition/Disposition Services: A fee equal to 0.5% of the purchase price of any property acquired and 0.5% of the sales price of any property sold.


  

	 	5.2.4	General and Administrative Expenses: The Company and Manager will meet and confer not later than September 30 of each year with the intent to establish a general and
administrative budget for the following year. In the event that no agreement can be reached, the budget for the prior year will be used, adjusted for inflation. 

  

	 	5.3	Reimbursement of Expenses. After the initial period, GLR will reimburse the Manager for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the cost of any on-site
managers or on-site personnel provided at the request of GLR, but not any home office or general and administrative personnel. 

  

	 	5.4	Working Capital Budget. Not later than September 30 of each year, beginning September 30, 2005, the Manager and GLR will meet and confer in order to
determine the projected working capital budget and capital improvements budget for the following year, commencing as of January 1st of each such year. Any such budget will be subject to the reasonable review and approval of GLR’s independent outside directors. On January 1st, any working capital reserve will be adjusted to reflect such agreed upon working capital budget and capital improvements budget. 

  

	 	5.5	Bonuses. GLR will not be liable for any bonus payments to any officer or employee of Manager, except for bonus payments specifically approved by a majority of the
outside independent directors of GLR or bonus payments made in accordance with the annual budget for such year.

	 	5.6	Fee Cap. The right of Manager to receive any compensation for its services under this Agreement other than such funds as are necessary to cover its actual costs of
providing such services, shall be subordinate to the rights of the holders of the GLR Preferred Stock. 

 6. Ancillary Tenant Services.
It is acknowledged and agreed that Manager may provide, as an amenity to GLR’s tenants, a range of ancillary services and/or products of the type which, if provided by a REIT would produce non-qualified income, and that the GLR will have no
participation in such income. The provision of such services will be subject to the approval of GLR, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, so long as the Manger (i) clearly discloses to the tenants to whom it offers such ancillary
services and products that it is an entity separate and distinct from GLR and that GLR does not endorse or guarantee such services or products and (ii) indemnifies GLR against any and all liabilities with respect to the offering and/or
provision of such ancillary services or products. 
 7. Indemnity: Insurance: and Limitations on Liability. 
  

	 	7.1.	Indemnity. GLR will indemnify Manager against any liability to third parties resulting from the performance by Manager of its duties under this Agreement, except to
the extent that such liability is ultimately determined to be the direct result of the gross negligence or criminal misconduct of the Manager or bad faith breach of this Agreement by Manager. Manager will indemnify GLR against any liability to third
parties resulting from the gross negligence or criminal misconduct of Manager or breach by Manager of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, in the last listed case, such breach was the result of conduct other than action take or omitted in
the good faith belief that such act or omission was consistent with Manager’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and otherwise in the best interests of GLR. GLR will advance all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Manager in
connection with the defense and investigation or any third party claim, pending final judicial resolution of liability. 

  

	 	7.2.	Insurance. GLR and Manager will work together to maintain in place a comprehensive regime of casualty and liability insurance, naming each of GLR and Manager as named
insureds with waivers of subrogation. The cost of such insurance shall be an expense of GLR, except to the extent such insurance also covers Senior Care Properties and/or any one or more of its affiliates, in which case the cost of such insurance
will be allocated between GLR and Senior Care Properties and such one or more affiliates on a mutually agreeable basis. 

  

	 	7.3.	Limitations on Liability. In no event will Manager be liable to GLR except for its gross negligence, criminal misconduct or breach of this Agreement; provided, in the
last listed case, such breach was the result of conduct other than action take or omitted in the good faith belief that such act or omission 

  

 7 








 was consistent with Manager’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and otherwise in the best
interests of GLR. GLR hereby waives any claim against or right of recovery against GLR, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. In no event will GLR have any claim, and hereby waives any claim that it might in the future otherwise
have, and agrees not to sue, any officer, director, manager, employee, or affiliate of Manager based on conduct or omission by such individual when acting in his or her capacity as an officer, director, manager, employee, or affiliate of Manager.
GLR acknowledges that Manager is a limited liability company, and agrees that it will look solely to Manager with respect to any future claim that GLR might have against Manager under this Agreement and/or with respect to the services provided by
Manager under this Agreement, and that in no event will it bring suit against any member (or former member) of Manager with respect to any such claim, whether based upon assertions or alter ego, piercing the corporate veil, fraudulent conveyance or
any other legal or equitable theory. 
 8. Accounting Books and Records. The accounting books and records of the Manager shall be maintained in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis, and shall be audited annually by an independent accounting firm selected by Manager, but subject to the approval of GLR, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Initially, the auditing firm will be the same firm as audits the accounts of GLR. The cost of any such audit during the Interim Period shall be treated as an operating cost of the Manager, to be allocated between GLR and Senior
Care Properties and its affiliates like any other operating cost of the Manager. Thereafter, the cost of such audit will be a cost of Manager. 
 9.
Dispute Resolution. 
 9.1 If a dispute arises regarding the interpretation of, arising out of, or related to this Agreement that

accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. 
 9.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, arbitration proceedings shall be
conducted by a single agreed upon arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then each party shall select one arbitrator who shall select a third arbitrator. Any arbitrations shall be held in Clark County, Nevada, or at such other
location as the parties may mutually agree. Without limitation of their general authority, the arbitrators shall have the right to order reasonable discovery in accordance with the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure. The final decision of the
arbitrators shall be binding and enforceable without 
  

 8 








 further legal proceedings in court or otherwise; provided, however, that any party may enter judgment upon the award in
any court of competent jurisdiction. The final decision arising from arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion and decision, which shall describe the rationale underlying the award and shall include findings of fact and conclusions of
law. 
 9.3 All parties shall have a duty to participate in mediation or arbitration proceedings in good faith and to pursue the same in a
timely manner. 
 9.4 Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9, the requirement to mediate or arbitrate disputes shall not apply

jurisdiction in that forum for such purpose. 
 9.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.5, the parties consent to the
jurisdiction of the appropriate court in Clark County, Nevada, for the entry and enforcement of any judgment upon any arbitration award rendered, and all parties agree to both subject matter and in personam jurisdiction for such purposes.
