(and if such Valuation Date is not the Final Valuation Date, on the Final Valuation Date as well) as if the termination of Continuous
Service had not occurred and the Advisor shall be fully (100%) vested in the Total OPP Unit Equivalent as so determined. In the
event the Advisor terminates its Continuous Service prior to the Final Valuation Date, the calculations described in the preceding
sentence shall be performed as of the Valuation Date next following such termination and the Advisor shall be fully (100%) vested
in the Total OPP Unit Equivalent as determined on such date. In either case, within thirty (30) days of the date such calculations
are completed, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to convert the Total OPP Unit Equivalent so determined into
OP Units or their equivalent in cash.

 

b.           In
the event of a termination of the Advisor’s Continuous Service for any reason after the Final Valuation Date, any then unvested
Award LTIP Units shall be fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable hereunder. Within thirty (30) days of the date such termination,
the Advisor, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to convert such Award LTIP Units into OP Units or their equivalent in cash.

 

c.           In
the event of a Change in Control prior to the Final Valuation Date, (i) the Advisor shall become fully (100%) vested in any Award
LTIP Units that had been earned but were unvested prior to the Change in Control and within thirty (30) days of the date such Change
in Control, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to convert such Earned Annual and Interim OPP Units into OP
Units or their equivalent in cash; and (ii) the calculations provided in Sections 3(b), (c) and (d) hereof shall be performed
as of the Valuation Date next following such Change in Control (and if such Valuation Date is not the Final Valuation Date, on
the Final Valuation Date as well) and the Advisor shall be fully (100%) vested in the Total OPP Unit Equivalent as so determined
and within thirty (30) days of the date such calculations are completed, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled
to convert the number of Award LTIP Units so determined into OP Units or their equivalent in cash.

 

d.           In
the event of a Change in Control after the Final Valuation Date, any then unvested Award LTIP Units shall be fully (100%) vested
and nonforfeitable hereunder. Within thirty (30) days of the date such Change in Control, the Advisor, in its sole discretion,
shall be entitled to convert such Award LTIP Units into OP Units or their equivalent in cash.

 

5.          Rights
of Advisor. The Advisor shall have no rights with respect to this Agreement (and the Award evidenced hereby) unless the Advisor
shall have accepted this Agreement prior to the close of business on the Effective Date by signing and delivering to the Partnership
a copy of this Agreement. Upon acceptance of this Agreement by the Advisor, the Partnership Agreement shall be amended to reflect
the issuance to the Advisor of the Award LTIP Units so accepted. Thereupon, the Advisor shall have all the rights of a Limited
Partner of the Partnership with respect to the Award LTIP Units, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to
the restrictions and conditions specified herein. Award LTIP Units constitute and shall be treated for all purposes as the property
of the Advisor, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement.

6.            Distributions.

 

a.           The
Advisor shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to the Award LTIP Units to the extent provided for in the Partnership
Agreement, as modified hereby.

 

b.           The
LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to any Award LTIP Unit shall be
the date as of which such Award LTIP Unit is earned pursuant to Sections 3(b), (c) and (d), and on such date, the Partnership
will pay the Advisor, for each Award LTIP Unit earned, an amount in cash equal to the quotient of (i) the per unit amount of all
distributions paid with respect to each OP Unit on or after the Effective Date and before the date on which such Award LTIP Unit
is earned (other than those with respect to which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 8 hereof) divided by (ii) the
Conversion Factor.

 

c.           All distributions paid with respect to Award LTIP Units shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid,
whether or not the underlying LTIP Units have been earned based on performance or have become vested based on the passage of time
as provided in Section 3 or Section 4 hereof.

 

7.          Restrictions
on Transfer. Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, none of the Award LTIP Units granted hereunder
nor any of the OP Units of the Partnership into which such Award LTIP Units may be converted (the “Award OP Units”)
shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, encumbered, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”). The transferee in any Transfers of Award
LTIP Units or Award OP Units permitted by the Committee must agree in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound
by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that subsequent transfers shall be prohibited except those in accordance
with this Section 7. Additionally, all Transfers of Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units must be in compliance with all
applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act) and the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership
Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units, the Partnership may require the Advisor to provide
an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities
laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted Transfer of Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units not in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Section 7 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its
records any change in record ownership of any Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise
refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any Award LTIP Units or Award
OP Units. Except as provided in this Section 7, this Agreement is personal to the Advisor, is non-assignable and is
not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise.

8.           Changes
in Capital Structure. If (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation,
reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or other transaction
similar thereto, (ii) any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, significant repurchases of stock, or other similar change in the capital stock of the Company, (iii) any cash dividend
or other distribution to holders of share of Common Stock or OP Units shall be declared and paid other than in the ordinary course,
or (iv) any other extraordinary corporate event shall occur that in each case in the good faith judgment of the Committee
necessitates action by way of equitable or proportionate adjustment in the terms of this Agreement or the Award LTIP Units to
avoid distortion in the value of this Award, the Committee shall make equitable or proportionate adjustment and take such other
action as it deems necessary to maintain the Advisor’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to
the rights existing under this Award and the terms of the Award LTIP Units prior to such event, including, without limitation:
(A) interpretations of or modifications to any defined term in this Agreement; (B) adjustments in any calculations provided
for in this Agreement, and (C) substitution of other awards. All adjustments made by the Committee shall be final, binding
and conclusive.

 

9.           Miscellaneous.

 

a.           Amendments.
This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the consent of the Company and the Partnership acting through the Committee;
provided that any such amendment or modification that adversely affects the rights of the Advisor hereunder must be consented
to by the Advisor to be effective as against it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed
only by the Company and the Partnership to correct any errors or ambiguities in this Agreement and/or to make such changes that
do not adversely affect the Advisor’s rights hereunder.

 

b.           Legend.
The records of the Partnership evidencing the Award LTIP Units shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership
in its sole discretion, to the effect that such Award LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein and in the Partnership
Agreement.

 

c.           Compliance
With Law. The Partnership and the Advisor will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws. In addition,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Award LTIP Units will become vested or be paid at a time that
such vesting or payment would result in a violation of any such law.

 

d.           Advisor
Representations; Registration.

 

(i)          The
Advisor hereby represents and warrants that (A) it understands that it is responsible for consulting its own tax advisor with respect

the Advisor is or by reason of this Award may become subject, to its particular situation; (B) the Advisor has not received or
relied upon business or tax advice from the Company, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement), employees, agents, consultants or advisors, in their capacity as such; (C) the Advisor provides services to the Partnership
on a regular basis and in such capacity has access to such information, and has such experience of and involvement in the business
and operations of the Partnership, as the Advisor believes to be necessary and appropriate to make an informed decision to accept
this Award; (D) Award LTIP Units are subject to substantial risks; (E) the Advisor has been furnished with, and has reviewed and
understands, information relating to this Award; (F) the Advisor has been afforded the opportunity to obtain such additional information

    	13

    	 

    

  

(ii)         The
Advisor hereby acknowledges that: (A) there is no public market for Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units and neither the Partnership
nor the Company has any obligation or intention to create such a market; (B) sales of Award LTIP Units and Award OP Units
are subject to restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and (C) because of the restrictions
on transfer or assignment of Award LTIP Units and Award OP Units set forth in the Partnership Agreement and in this Agreement,
the Advisor may have to bear the economic risk of its ownership of the Award LTIP Units covered by this Award for an indefinite
period of time.

 

e.           Section 83(b)
Election. In connection with each separate issuance of LTIP Units under this Award pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
the Advisor may elect to include in gross income in the year of transfer the applicable Award LTIP Units pursuant to Section 83(b)
of the Code substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and to supply the necessary information in accordance
with the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Advisor agrees to file such election (or to permit the Partnership to file such
election on the Advisor’s behalf) within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date with the IRS Service Center where the Advisor
files its personal income tax returns, provide a copy of such election to the Partnership, and to file a copy of such election
with the Advisor’s U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the LTIP Units are awarded to the Advisor.
So long as the Advisor holds any Award LTIP Units, the Advisor shall disclose to the Partnership in writing such information as
may be reasonably requested with respect to ownership of LTIP Units as the Partnership may deem reasonably necessary to ascertain
and to establish compliance with provisions of the Code applicable to the Partnership or to comply with requirements of any other
appropriate taxing authority.

 

f.            Severability.
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this
Agreement not so held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force
and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of
such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall
to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

 

g.           Governing
Law. This Agreement is made under, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of State of Delaware, without giving
effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state.

 

h.           No
Obligation to Continue Service as a Consultant or Advisor. Neither the Company nor any affiliate is obligated by or as a result
of this Agreement to continue to have the Advisor as a consultant, advisor or other service provider and this Agreement shall not
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any affiliate to terminate the Advisor’s service relationship at any
time.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

i.            Notices.
Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at 405 Park Avenue, New York, New York,

the records of the Company, or at such other address as the Company or the Advisor may hereafter designate in writing to the other.

 

j.            Withholding
and Taxes. The Advisor shall be solely responsible for all federal, state, local or foreign taxes or any taxes under the Federal
Insurance Contributions Act with respect to this Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company or Partnership
are required to withhold any such taxes, the Advisor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment
of any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount; provided,
however, that if any Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units are withheld (or returned), the number of Award LTIP Units or Award
OP Units so withheld (or returned) shall be limited to the number which have a fair market value on the date of withholding equal
to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign
income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. The obligations of the Company under
this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its affiliates shall, to the extent permitted
by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Advisor.

 

k.          Excise
Tax. In the event that the Advisor becomes entitled to any amounts under this Agreement that will be subject to the tax imposed
by Section 4999 of the Code, the provisions of Section 8 of the Company’s Equity Plan will apply to such amounts.

document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

 

n.           Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successors to the
Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and any successors to the Advisor, on the other hand, by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, but this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the Advisor.

 

o.           Section
409A. This Agreement shall be construed, administered and interpreted in accordance with a good faith interpretation of Section 409A
of the Code. Any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, or that may result in penalties
under Section 409A of the Code, shall be amended, with the reasonable cooperation of the Advisor and the Company and the Partnership,
to the extent necessary to exempt it from, or bring it into compliance with, Section 409A of the Code. Any payment to Advisor
made pursuant to Section 9(k) will be made in a manner intended to comply with Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v).

SCHEDULE TO EXHIBIT B

 

Vesting Provisions of LTIP Units

 

The LTIP Units are subject to time-based
and performance-based vesting with the final vesting percentage equaling the product of the time-based vesting percentage and the
performance-based vesting percentage. Performance-based vesting will be from 0% to 100% based (i) 50% on American Realty Capital
Healthcare Trust, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) per-share total return to shareholders and (ii) 50% on
total return against the total percentage return to stock holders of a specified peer group, in each case for the period from April
7, 2014 to April 7, 2017 (or earlier in certain circumstances). Under the time-based vesting hurdles, one-third (1/3) of the LTIP
Units will vest on April 7, 2017, one-third (1/3) of the LTIP Units will vest on April 7, 2018, and the remaining one-third (1/3)
of the LTIP Units will vest on April 7, 2019, provided that the Taxpayer continues its service relationship with the Company
and the Partnership through such dates, subject to acceleration in the event of certain extraordinary transactions or termination
of the Taxpayer’s service relationship with the Company under specified circumstances. Unvested LTIP Units are subject to
forfeiture in the event of failure to vest based on the determination of the performance-based percentage or the passage of time.
