“Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), is registering for public sale a maximum of up to $3.15 billion in shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock (the “Offering”), consisting of (a) up to $2.80 billion in shares of Class T common stock, $0.01 par value per share, in the primary offering at an initial price of $10.00 per share (subject in certain circumstances to discounts based upon the volume of shares purchased and for certain categories of purchasers), (b) up to $0.20 billion in shares of Class I common stock, $0.01 par value per share, in the primary offering at an initial price of $9.30 per share, and (c) up to an aggregate of $150 million in shares of Class T common stock and Class I common stock pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan at a purchase price of 95.0% of the per Class T share primary offering price, or $9.50 per share assuming a $10.00 per Class T share primary offering price, all upon the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined in Section 1.1, below). The Company has reserved the right to reallocate the Shares offered among the classes of shares and between the primary offering and the distribution reinvestment plan. With respect to the Company’s distribution 

1

reinvestment plan, distributions on Class T shares will be reinvested in Class T shares and distributions on Class I shares will be reinvested in Class I shares. The minimum purchase by any one person shall be $2,500 in Shares except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus or in any letter or memorandum from the Company to Griffin Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”). It is anticipated that the Dealer Manager will enter into Participating Dealer Agreements in the form attached to this Dealer Manager Agreement with other broker-dealers participating in the Offering (each dealer being referred to herein as a “Dealer” and said dealers being collectively referred to herein as the “Dealers”). The Company shall have the right to approve any material modifications or addendums to the form of the Participating Dealer Agreement. Terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Prospectus. In connection therewith, the Company hereby agrees with the Dealer Manager, as follows:”

		
	B.
	Section 3.3 is hereby removed and replaced with the following:

“3.3    Except as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager, at the time of the sale of Class T shares pursuant to the primary offering, selling commissions in the amount of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Class T shares sold in the primary offering, and the Company and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”) agree that they will pay to the Dealer Manager, at the time of the sale of Class T shares or Class I shares pursuant to the primary offering, an aggregate dealer manager fee in the amount of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of Class T shares or Class I shares sold in the primary offering, of which 1.0% of the gross proceeds of Class T shares or Class I shares sold in the primary offering will be funded by the Company and 2.0% of the gross proceeds of Class T shares or Class I shares sold in the primary offering will be funded by the Advisor. In addition, with respect to Class T shares sold in the primary offering, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager a quarterly stockholder servicing fee in the aggregate amount of up to 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Class T shares sold in the primary offering, which stockholder servicing fee will accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per share (or, once reported by the Company, the amount of the Company’s estimated net asset value per share) of Class T shares sold, excluding Class T shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T shares sold in the Offering at the earliest of (i) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares in the primary portion of the Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan); (ii) the fourth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Offering (excluding the distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; (iii) the date that such Class T share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding; and (iv) the occurrence of a merger of the Company, listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange, or an extraordinary transaction by the Company. The stockholder servicing fee relates to the share or shares sold. The Dealer Manager may, in its discretion, re-allow to Dealers up to 100% of the stockholder servicing fee for services that such Dealers perform in connection with the Class T stockholders; provided, however, that with respect to any individual investment, the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the related stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer if such Dealer ceases to hold the account related to such investment. In addition, the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the stockholder servicing fee to any Dealer if such Dealer has not executed a Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager or if the Dealer’s previously executed Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager is terminated. In any instance in which the Dealer Manager does not re-allow the stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer, the Dealer Manager will return such fee to the Company. No selling commissions or dealer manager fee shall be paid with respect to Shares sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. In no event shall the total aggregate underwriting compensation payable to the Dealer Manager and any Dealers participating in the Offering, including, but not limited to, selling commissions and the dealer manager fee (which includes expense reimbursements and non-cash compensation), exceed 10.0% of gross offering proceeds in the aggregate. The Company and the Advisor will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer for direct payment of commissions to any Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment of commissions to Dealers. Notwithstanding the 

2

above, at the discretion of the Company, the Company may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of commissions to Dealers on behalf of the Dealer Manager without incurring any liability.”

3.    Amendments to Participating Dealer Agreement, attached as Exhibit A to Dealer Manager Agreement, to incorporate Class I Shares.

		
	A.
	The introductory paragraph is hereby removed and replaced with the following:

“Griffin Capital Securities, LLC, as the dealer manager (“Dealer Manager”) for Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, invites you (the “Dealer”) to participate in the distribution of shares of common stock (“Shares”) of the Company, consisting of Class T common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Class I common stock, $0.01 par value per share, subject to the following terms:”

		
	B.
	Section III is hereby removed and replaced with the following:

“Except as may be otherwise provided for in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, Class T shares shall be offered to the public at the offering price of $10.00 per share, Class I shares shall be offered to the public at the offering price of $9.30 per share, and Class T shares and Class I shares shall be offered pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan at a purchase price of 95.0% of the per Class T share primary offering price, or $9.50 per share assuming a $10.00 per Class T share primary offering price. Except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus or in any letter or memorandum sent to the Dealer by the Company or Dealer Manager, a minimum initial purchase of $2,500 in Shares is required. The Shares are nonassessable.”

		
	C.
	Section V is hereby removed and replaced with the following:

“Except for volume discounts described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, which volume discounts shall be the responsibility of the Dealer to provide to investors who qualify, and except as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer’s selling commission applicable to the Class T shares sold by the Dealer in the primary offering which it is authorized to sell hereunder is 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Class T shares sold by it in the primary offering and accepted and confirmed by the Company, which commissions will be payable by the Dealer Manager. In addition, as compensation for continuing to service Class T stockholders in accordance with Dealer’s internal policies and procedures, the Dealer will be paid a quarterly stockholder servicing fee in the aggregate amount of up to 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Class T shares sold by it in the primary offering and accepted and confirmed by the Company, which stockholder servicing fee will accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per share (or, once reported by the Company, the amount of the Company’s estimated net asset value per share) of Class T shares sold, excluding Class T shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T shares sold in the Offering at the earliest of (i) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares in the primary portion of the Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan); (ii) the fourth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Offering (excluding the distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; (iii) the date that such Class T share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding; and (iv) the occurrence of a merger of the Company, listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange, or an extraordinary transaction by the Company. The stockholder servicing fee relates to the share or shares sold. The Dealer Manager may, in its discretion, re-allow to Dealers up to 100% of the stockholder servicing fee for services that such Dealers perform in connection with the Class T stockholders; provided, however, that the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the stockholder servicing fee to any Dealer if such Dealer has not executed a Participating 

3

Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager or if such Dealer’s previously executed Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article XVI of this Participating Dealer Agreement; and provided further, that with respect to any individual investment, the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the related stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer if such Dealer ceases to hold the account related to such investment. No selling commissions shall be paid with respect to Class I shares or Shares issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. For these purposes, Class T shares shall be deemed to be “sold” if and only if a transaction has closed with a subscriber for shares pursuant to all applicable offering and subscription documents, the Company has accepted the subscription agreement of such subscriber, and such shares have been fully paid for. The Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions payable is limited solely to the proceeds of commissions receivable from the Company, and the Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of commissions due until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the commission from the Company. In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, re-allow all or a portion of its dealer manager fee to Dealers participating in the offering of Shares as marketing fees, reimbursement of costs and expenses of attending educational conferences or to defray other distribution-related expenses.

The parties hereby agree that the foregoing commission is not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission received in the sale of securities similar to the Shares, that Dealer’s interest in the offering is limited to such commission from the Dealer Manager and Dealer’s indemnity referred to in Section 4 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such commission to the Dealer. The Dealer Manager shall have the right to require the Dealer to provide a detailed and itemized invoice as a condition to the reimbursement of any such due diligence expenses.

The provisions of this Article V as they pertain to the stockholder servicing fee, if applicable, shall survive termination of the Dealer Manager Agreement only if such termination of the Dealer Manager Agreement is the result of a termination of the Offering.”

4.    Amendment.  This Amendment may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by all parties.

5.    Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

6.    Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute a single instrument.

The “Market Price” for each such trading day shall be (i) the last reported sale price on such day or, if no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, as reported by a reliable quotation source designated by the General Partner; (ii) if no such last reported sale price or closing bid and asked prices are available, the
average of the reported high bid and low asked prices on such day, as reported by a reliable quotation source designated by the General Partner, or (iii) if there shall be no bid and asked prices on such day, the average of the high bid and low asked prices, as so reported, on the most recent day (not more than ten (10) days prior to the date in question) for which prices have been so reported. In the event the REIT Stock Amount includes rights that a holder of REIT Stock would be entitled to receive, then the Value of such rights shall be determined by the General Partner acting in good faith on the basis of such quotations and other information as it considers, in its reasonable judgment, appropriate.

		
	2.
	Amendments to Article 4 of the Partnership Agreement.

		
	2.1
	Section 4.1(a) is amended by inserting “and class” before the words “of Partnership Units”

		
	2.2
	Section 4.1(c) is amended by replacing the words “in the amounts” with “in the numbers and of the class” and by inserting, at the beginning of the last sentence thereof, the following:

Except to the extent set forth in a written amendment to this Agreement adopted by the General Partner to establish a new class or series of Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 (a “Partnership Unit Designation”),

		
	2.3
	Section 4.3(a), clause (3) is amended by inserting “, or all holders of a class of REIT Stock,” after “(3) to all holders of REIT Stock”

		
	2.4
	Section 4.3(a)(i) is amended by replacing the parenthetical with the following:

(including, for example, the Partnership issuing to the General Partner Partnership Class T Units in the case of any issuance of REIT Class T Stock by the General Partner and the Partnership issuing to the General Partner Partnership Class I Units in the case of any issuance of REIT Class I Stock by the General Partner)

3

		
	2.5
	Section 4.3(b) is amended and restated as follows:

Splits.  The Partnership shall (i) make a distribution in a class or series of Partnership Units to all Partners holding such class or series of Partnership Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Class Percentage Interests as of the date of such distribution, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Partnership Units of a particular class or series, or (iii) combine its outstanding Partnership Units of a class or series into a smaller number of Partnership Units, in the event the General Partner takes an analogous action with respect to the corresponding class or series of REIT Stock. The intent of the previous sentence is that one Partnership Unit remains the economic equivalent of one share of REIT Stock without dilution. If the General Partner determines that it is necessary or desirable to make any filings under the Act or otherwise in order to reference the existence of such action, the General Partner may cause such filings to be made, which filings might take the form of amendments to the Certificate; provided, however, that, unless specifically required by this Agreement or the Act after giving effect to the terms of this Agreement, no approval or consent of any Partners shall be required in connection with the making of any such filing.

		
	2.6
	Section 4.3(c) is amended by adding the following to the last line:

actually incurred and paid by the General Partner, with such expenses allocated to the applicable class or series of Partnership Units or other securities corresponding to the Securities issued by the General Partner.

		
	3.
	Amendments to Article 5 of the Partnership Agreement.

		
	3.1
	Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c) are each amended by:

		
	A.
	inserting the following at the beginning of the first sentence in each section:

Subject to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, and subject to Section 5.1(f),

		
	B.
	replacing each instance of “Percentage Interest” with “Partnership Percentage Interest”

		
	3.2
	A new Section 5.1(f) is added, reading as follows:

Adjustment for Stockholder Servicing Fee and Other Class Specific Items.  To the extent the payment of the Stockholder Servicing Fee reduces Available Operating Cash or Net Sales Proceeds otherwise available for distribution, such cash available for distribution shall be deemed increased by the amount of the Stockholder Servicing Fee for purposes of Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c), but the amount equal to the Stockholder Servicing Fee paid will reduce the distributions with respect to the Partnership Class T Units associated with the shares of REIT Class T Stock intended to be burdened by the Stockholder Servicing Fee.  For example, assume the Partnership has $9,200,000 of Available Operating Cash, has 2,000,000 Partnership Class T Units and 500,000 Partnership Class I Units outstanding, and had paid, on behalf of the General Partner, $800,000 on account of the Stockholder Servicing Fee associated with REIT Class T Stock.  Cash available for purposes of Section 5.1(c) will be deemed to be $10,000,000 ($9,200,000 + $800,000), which will initially get apportioned in accordance with the Partnership Percentage Interests, or $8,000,000 to the Partnership Class T Units (2,000,000 Partnership Class T Units / 2,500,000 total Partnership Units) and $2,000,000 to the Partnership Class I Units (500,000 Partnership Class I Units / 2,500,000 total Partnership Units).  Thereafter, $7,200,000 ($8,000,000 less the $800,000 for the Stockholder Servicing Fee) would be distributed on account of the Partnership Class T Units (or $3.60 per Partnership Class T Unit).  And $2,000,000 would be distributed on account of the 

4

Partnership Class I Units (or $4.00 per Partnership Class I Unit).  Similar adjustments to Available Operating Cash and Net Sales Proceeds, and a concomitant increase or decrease in
distributions with respect to Partnership Interests, shall be made for any other items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the General Partner that are allocable to a specific class or series Partnership Units in the manner contemplated by Section 6.1(e).

		
	4.
	Amendments to Article 6 of the Partnership Agreement.

		
	4.1
	Section 6.1(c) is amended by inserting at the end of such section the following:

, and Partners holding a class or series of Partnership Interests that are burdened by class specific items that are not applicable to all Partnership Units within such class (such as the Stockholder Servicing Fee, which is not applicable to Partnership Class T Units corresponding to REIT Class T Shares purchased through the General Partner’s dividend reinvestment plan), shall also be deemed to be a separate Partner with respect to each group of such class or series of Partnership Units.

		
	4.2
	A new Section 6.1(e) is added, reading as follows:

Special Allocation of Expense of Stockholder Servicing Fee and other Class Specific Items.  If the Partnership directly or on behalf of the General Partner incurs any expense for the Stockholder Servicing Fee, such amounts shall be specially allocated among the Partnership Class T Units to correspond with their appropriate share of such expenses.  To the extent that any other items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the General Partner are allocable to a specific class or series of REIT Stock as provided in the General Partner’s Prospectus, such items, or an amount equal thereto, shall be specially allocated to the class or series of Partnership Units corresponding to such class or series of REIT Stock.

		
	4.3
	Section 6.2(f) is modified by inserting “6.1(e), “ after “Sections 6.1(b),”

		
	5.
	Amendments to Article 8 of the Partnership Agreement.  Section 8.6(g) is amended and restated as follows:

Exercise of the Redemption Right by the General Partner. The receipt of a notice of redemption with respect to shares of REIT Stock held by stockholders of the General Partner (a “REIT Notice”) pursuant to the General Partner’s share repurchase plan as may be in effect from time to time shall be deemed to be a Notice of Redemption Request given by the General Partner to the Partnership. The redemption by the General Partner of REIT Stock pursuant to a REIT Notice shall be deemed an exercise of the Redemption Right with respect to the class of and number of Partnership Units equal to the corresponding class and number of shares of REIT Stock identified in the REIT Notice. With respect to any Redemption Right exercised by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6(g), the General Partner will elect for payment of the Redemption Amount by the Partnership to the General Partner to be the Cash Amount.  Without limiting the foregoing, for example, the Partnership shall redeem from the General Partner Partnership Class T Units in connection with the repurchase by the General Partner of shares of REIT Class T Stock and shall redeem Partnership Class I Units in connection with the repurchase of shares of REIT Class I Stock.

		
	6.
	Amendment to Article 10 of the Partnership Agreement.

		
	6.1
	Section 10.3 is relabeled “Tax Proceedings.”

		
	6.2
	A new Subsection (a) is added to Section 10.3 to read as follows:

5

For tax returns filed with respect to fiscal years beginning before December 31, 2017, this Section 10.3(a) shall apply, and references to Code sections in this Section 10.3(a) refer to the Code sections as in effect prior to such sections’ amendment by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (P.L. 114-74) (the “2015 Budget Act”).

For tax returns filed with respect to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, this Section 10.3(b) shall apply, and references to Code sections in this Section 10.3(b) refer to the Code sections as in effect after taking into account the amendments provided by the 2015 Budget Act.  The General Partner shall take such reasonable actions as it believes will enhance the avoidance of the application to the Partnership of the provisions of Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code.  If, however, such provisions do apply to the Partnership, the General Partner shall also act as the “partnership representative” for purposes of said Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code.  Each Partner hereby consents to the General Partner serving as the partnership representative and agrees upon request of the General Partner to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent.  The partnership representative will be authorized to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to (i) sign consents, enter into settlement and other agreements with such authorities with respect to any such examinations or proceedings and (ii) expend the Partnership’s funds for professional services incurred in connection therewith.  In such event, the partnership representative shall duly and timely elect under Section 6226 of the Code to require each Person who was a Partner during the taxable year of Partnership that was audited to personally bear any tax, interest and penalty resulting from adjustments based on such audit and shall notify each such Person (and the Internal Revenue Service) of their share of such audit adjustments and, if for any reason, the Partnership is liable for a tax, interest, addition to tax or penalty as a result of such an audit, each Person who was a Partner during the taxable year of the Partnership that was audited, even if such Person is no longer a Partner (unless a Substituted Limited Partner has agreed to bear such liability in an appropriate document evidencing a Transfer), shall pay to the Partnership an amount equal to such Person’s proportionate share of such liability, as determined by the General Partner, based on the amount each such Person should have borne (computed at the tax rate used to compute the Partnership’s liability) had the Partnership’s tax return for such taxable year reflected the audit adjustment, and the expense for the Partnership’s payment of such tax, interest, addition to tax and penalty shall be specially allocated to such Persons (or their successors) in such proportions.

	Amendments to Article 11 of the Partnership Agreement.  A new Section 11.6(g) is added, reading as follows:

6

Exchange, Reclassification, or Redesignation of REIT Stock.  If the General Partner exchanges, reclassifies, or redesignates any shares of REIT Stock of any class (“Exchanged REIT Stock”) for shares of REIT Stock of a different class (“Received REIT Stock”), then the General Partner shall, and shall cause the Partnership to, exchange, reclassify, or redesignate a number of Partnership Units having the same class designation as the Exchanged REIT Stock, for Partnership Units having the same class designation as the Received REIT Stock on the same terms, to the extent applicable, that the General Partner exchanged, reclassified, or redesignated the Exchanged REIT Stock.  Such exchange, reclassification, or redesignation of Partnership Units shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable date of the exchange, reclassification, or redesignation of shares of REIT Stock, as of which time the holder of class of Partnership Units having the same designation as the Exchanged REIT Stock shall be credited on the books and records of the Partnership with the issuance, as of the opening of business on the next day, of the applicable number of Partnership Units having the same designation as the Received REIT Stock.

		
	8.
	Continuation of Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership Agreement and this Amendment shall be read together and shall have the same force and effect as if the provisions of the Partnership Agreement and this Amendment were contained in one document.  Any provisions of the Partnership Agreement not amended by this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect as provided in the Partnership Agreement immediately prior to the date hereof.  In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Amendment and the Partnership Agreement, the provisions of this Amendment shall control.
